TICONDEROGA Ñ Over 100 residents from Ticonderoga and the surrounding towns packed into a dining room at Moses Ludington Hospital April 29 to hear about the proposed changes at the medical facility.

Interim ILH CEO Rod Boula was joined by members of the ILH and University of Vermont Medical Center-Elizabethtown Community Hospital boards, UVM-CVPH CEO Stephens Mundy and representatives from Hudson Headwaters Health Network to talk about the creation of a Ò medical campusÓ partnership.

ILH board president Rolland Ò RollyÓ Allen put the cards on the table early. Ò You have probably heard a lot about joining with Elizabethtown Community Hospital and a network enterprise for the future, and itÕ s all true,Ó Allen said. Ò What we want to tell you is now that we are living in (a) sinkhole, how we are going to get out of it and ensure the community has high quality health care services which are also financially sustainable.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Schroon native Stone calls ‘Run for the Roses’

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

LOUISVILLE, Kent. Ñ In the world of sports announcers, there are few dream jobs.

Calling the Super Bowl. World Series. Indianapolis 500.

And the Kentucky Derby.

For a Schroon Lake graduate, the dream came true this past Saturday, as Travis Stone called the 141st annual running of the fastest two minutes in sports at Churchill Downs. Ò It is truly an honor to become the new voice of

Churchill Downs and to join a community that shares my passion and enthusiasm for this wonderful sport,Ó Stone said in press release when he was hired in December. Ò The opportunity to call the Kentucky Derby and all of the prestigious races at Churchill Downs is a dream come true.Ó TravisÕ mother, Christine, who works at the Schroon Town Hall, said everyone had been asking her about the big moment throughout the weekend. Ò Everybody has been so excited for him,Ó she said. Ò He got to call the Kentucky Derby. He has dreamt about this since he was a boy.Ó

Stone called all the races at the track during the day, including the first leg of the coveted Triple Crown.

While his call went out on several platforms, those watching on NBC heard the voice of his predecessor, Larry Collmus, who is contracted by the national television station to call all three legs of the trifecta, which includes the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Ò We had the television on mute and listened to Travis on the internet,Ó Chris Stone said. Ò He called all the races that day. He did four of the races on television, as well.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Ticonderoga Central budget meets tax levy cap

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Thanks to mild increases and the use of long range planning, the Ticonderoga Central School District has adopted a budget which will meet the stateÕ s tax levy cap in 2015-16. Ò We have met the cap and the criteria for the tax freeze,Ó Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said. Ò Things are good. Our long-term planning has worked and our fund balance is healthy.Ó The 2015-16 spending plan calls for a $369,892 increase, or 1.92 percent, from $19,296,079 in 2014-15 to the proposed amount of $19,665,971.

Factoring in anticipated revenues of $8,522,849 in the upcoming school year (a $148,796 increase from 2014-15), district taxpayers are looking at an estimated tax levy of $11,143,122; a 2.02 percent increase from the 2014-15 total of $10,922,026 (up $221,096).

Tax rates will see a two percent increase, with Ticonderoga seeing a jump from $10.30 per $1,000 of assessed property value in 2014-15 to an estimated $10.51, a difference of about 21 cents.

In Hague, which lags in

equalization rate with a 78.5 percent rating compared to full market value, sees a higher tax rate because of the difference, with the 2014-15 tax rate of roughly $12.55 increasing and estimated 25 cents to $12.80 for the 2015-16 school year.

With the new budget, the school will also be reintroducing positions to the district, including a middle school teacher (based on enrollment) and a special education position based on need.

McDonald said the Ticonderoga district has been the recipient of several financial factors which in the past have worked against them now turn in their favor. Ò Health insurance was only a two percent increase through a consortium of local schools is a big area for us,Ó he said. Ò Retirement funding came in at a decrease.Ó While McDonald said the district did not fare well when it came to state aid increases, it has almost returned to the water level seen before the GAP elimination. Ò The aid increased 2.06 percent ($6,984,421 to $7,128,425, a difference of $144,004), almost all of it was GAP elimination,Ó he said. Ò This puts

us almost at the aid level we were in 2008-09. With that, we are now looking at being very consistent staying within the tax levy cap and meeting the criteria for the tax credit.Ó Voters in the school district will get the chance to cast their ballots Tuesday, May 19.

Along with the budget, voters will also weigh in on a capital project proposition and three board seats with three announced candidates including incumbents Fred LaVallee and James Wells. Newcomer Eric Leerkes will also run for a seat, while incumbent John Lenhart will not seek re-election.

Ticonderoga district voters hear about capital project plans

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com HAGUE Ñ Over two days, voters in the Ticonderoga Central School District had the chance to hear about the infrastructure plans for the district in the coming years.

Superintendent Dr. John McDonald laid out the plan for the proposed $7.3 million bond referendum to voters at the Hague Community Center May 4 and in Ticonderoga May 5. The issue will be put to the voters during the school budget and board member election May 19.

McDonald said the current plan to upgrade the districtÕ s athletic facilities; replace roofing at the elementary/middle school and high school along with adding solar paneling; infrastructure improvements to the high school and renovation of the auditorium, will not impact the tax base over the term of the bond needed to secure funding. Ò We are going to be retiring debt over the next several years so we can fund this through that retirement of debt,Ó McDonald said during the Hague hearing May 4.

McDonald said the district estimates $3,590,901 in state aid for the project.

To help with any years there could be a tax levy increase because of the debt service, McDonald said the district is expecting to be in a good position to counter. Ò I am not going to guarantee this, but as of now, our fund balance is going to be very good,Ó he said. Ò We are anticipating around $1 million in fund balance, which we can use to create a capital reserve fund to help offset any increases so we could be looking at no bumps. This is something we have not been able to do for a while.Ó He said the roofs and athletic complex, especially the track, are in the most dire condition. Ò The roofs could be an emergency project if the proposition were to go down, but then there is no aid on that,Ó McDonald said. Ò The track piece, by itself, is not aidable. We are going to have to replace the track anyway and the board wanted to look at ways we could do it without an increase to the tax base.Ó McDonald said as part of the roof replacement, solar panelling will be part of the discussion regardless of if the proposition passes. Ò We are going to look at solar either way, and the only way to install solar is to have a new roof,Ó he said.

One part of the project which has been changed is the asbestos

abatement and ceiling work in the auditorium, no longer part of the plan. Ò Because of the acoustics, we do not want to touch that,Ó McDonald said. Ò There will also be an acoustic consultant while the work is being done because we want to keep the sound we have.Ó McDonald added the project, if approved, will be phased in over several years, with the roof and track as phase one and the rest as phase two.

He added the district tried to be as conservative as possible in its calculations, and, if approved, the price tag for the capital project could not exceed the amount approved. Ò Our hope is both the cost of the project will be lower and the aide number will be higher,Ó McDonald said.

Near the end of the Hague meeting, Mary Ann Eaton asked the audience if anyone else was thinking a capital project with no increase to the tax levy, Ò sounded too good to be true. Ò We hear no taxes are going to be increased in so many different ways from government and it becomes hard to believe,Ó Eaton said later. Ò I want to believe it. IÕ m not implying anything false is going on here, it just seems inevitable that over time, it always comes to a tax increase.Ó

At the time, McDonald responded by saying according to the districtÕ s calculations, along with the potential for added federal and other funding, they feel confident in the statement.

Dr. John McDonald talks to residents in Hague about the proposed capital project, which will be part of the May 19 Ticonderoga Central School District vote.

‘From Muscles to Motors on the Farm’ to be presented TICONDEROGA Ñ In collaboration with the New York Council for the Humanities, Dr. Milton Sernett will present his program, Ò From Muscles to Motors on the Farm: Henry Ford and the Great American Tractor

Celebrating

46 Years of Growing Plants!

Wars, 1910-1930,Ó Friday, May 15, in the downstairs program room at the Hancock House, at 7 p.m. This event is made possible through the Speakers in the Humanities program with the support of the National Endowment

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

The Fordson, first mass-produced in 1918, gave farmers an affordable source of mechanical power. Henry FordÕ s entry into the tractor business sparked a conflict in the farm machinery industry that had long-term consequences for American life on and off the farm. The transition from horse power to tractor power, from muscles to motors, took place during an era of rapid social change in American life. Farm families were trying to adjust to new marvels everywhere airplanes, automobiles, electricity on the farm, telephones, radio, consolidated

rural schools, indoor plumbing, rural free delivery, better roads, and refrigeration.

SernettÕ s lecture will use rare images from the archives of the great tractor manufacturers and depictions of the seasons of agricultural work before the factory farm replaced the family farm.

These visual cues will encourage the sharing and preservation of memories of farm life among all members of the community.

Dr. Milton C. Sernett, Professor Emeritus, taught at Syracuse University for over thirty years.

He has published eight books and numerous articles and essays, many of them dealing with African American history.

SernettÕ s most recent book is Ò Family Matters: Exploring my German American Heritage,Ó and his current book project is a history of the great tractor wars and the influence of Henry Ford on American farm life. Sernett has also published books on other topics as diverse as a history of cheesemaking, a study of the origin of the Holstein breed of dairy cattle, and an overview of the changes in American farming with the master farmer Jared Van Wagenen, Jr. as guide and mentor.

Since its launch in 1983, the CouncilÕ s Speakers in the Humanities program has brought distinguished scholars on a wide range of humanities top-

ics to audiences across New York State. All Speakers events are free and open to the general public. Each year, hundreds of nonprofit organizations and community groups take advantage of this program, including community centers, religious organizations, museums and historical societies, and libraries. The speakers program is an easy, affordable way for organizations to bring top humanities programming to their community. Ò From Muscles to Motors on the Farm: Henry Ford and the Great American Tractor Wars, 1910-1930Ó .

The Hancock House, home of the Ticonderoga Historical Society, is an imposing Georgian mansion, a gift of philanthropist Horace Moses, and houses a significant collection of regional material in its archives, along with an important research and large genealogical library. The Hancock House will reopen after the winter season Wednesday, May 20, and will be open Wednesday through Saturday until December from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The building houses a gift shop full of books, gifts and area memorabilia.

Fort Ti to debut new exhibits for 2015 summer season Ti staple opens for season May 9

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga will throw open its doors for the 2015 season this week, with new programming and exhibits designed to give visitors insight into how one year, 1756, helped shape the historically important military site.

The historical museum site opens for the season beginning Saturday and will welcome visitors through Nov. 1.

Why 1756? According to museum officials, it was a fundamental year in both the construction of Fort Ticonderoga and also the Jardin du Roi, a space within the walls known as the Ò KingÕ s Garden,Ó which is one of North AmericaÕ s oldest gardens.

Billed as Ò the only site in the world that tells a new story each year through dynamic historical interpretation,Ó the museum says this year it will examine why 1756 was so important to the fortÕ s history. Visitors who come to the fort will encounter a variety of programming to help them understand a time when Ticonderoga served as the front line of New France. They will be able to see daily soldierÕ s activities, tours, musket demonstrations and fife and drum corps performances. Ò Guests will discover 1756 from the French perspective and explore how it took an empire to sustain and fight for a continent,Ó according to a statement from the museum. Ò With needle and thread or awl and bristle discover what kinds of supplies were used to protect soldiers from the elements at this front-line outpost. From tree to timber and beam to building, watch carpentry in action as French soldiers use hand tools to recreate real buildings from 1756.Ó Museum CEO Beth Hill said the exhibit is another example of how the museum continues to be a place that serves and satisfies a diverse range of audiences, particularly families. “Fort Ticonderoga is a family destination and a center for learning. A visit is an interactive, multi-faceted experience,Ó Hill said in a statement.

Living history weekends and special events related to the exhibit are also in the works for the season.

The mid-18th century-focused exhibit is formally titled Ò 1756: The Front Line of New France.Ó It will help anchor three other new exhibits this year.

They are: Iron & Stone: Building Fort Carillon:This exhibit, according to the museumÕ s website, will explore the tools and techniques used to work stone from the ground into architecture, with an emphasis on its use in military architecture and engineering.

Hands-on features will allow visitors to see if Ò they have what it takesÓ to be a mason at Fort Carillon.

Object Lessons: Perspectives on Material Culture: The museum website said this exhibit will offer a unique way to experience historical objects. Visitors will gain insight on how items were made, used, altered and designed.

Diorama-Rama: History in Miniature: This feature is designed to bring together most of the museumÕ s collection of 20th century dioramas depicting different periods in Fort TiconderogaÕ s history, and different perspectives on historical events giving a sense of how understanding and interpretation of history has changed.

In other developments at the museum, the South Barracks, a mainstay of the institution, has undergone a complete redesign

in the lead-up to the 2015 re-opening. The building encompasses three stories and nearly 10,000 square feet of gallery space covering topics from prehistory to the 20th century.

Visitors will also have a new option to access the waters of Lake Champlain this year, after the Fort Ticonderoga Association acquired a 60-foot boat, the Carillon.

Fort Ticonderoga is located at 100 Fort Ti Road in Ticonderoga.

The site, which has been welcoming visitors for more than a century, engages more than 70,000 visitors annually.

Editorial

Towns need to think smart with long-term planning

S

hared services. Two percent tax cap. Rebate check.

These are the buzzwords that haunt governance in the North Country and shadow all other concepts.

To combat renegade tax growth, the state has been requiring municipalities and school districts to keep spending increases under two percent per year. They must also demonstrate annual savings of at least 1 percent through shared services with their counterparts.

District taxpayers than receive the difference in the form of a rebate check.

All of this, according to the governor, will provide $1.5 billion in direct property tax relief over the next three years.

Our local leaders have largely bemoaned these measures, and rightfully so, arguing that the landscape in the sparsely-populated Adirondack Park doesnÕ t exactly lend itself to more scrimping and saving because thereÕ s simply nothing left to cut.

Municipalities have been sharing services for years, they say, none of which will be grandfathered in.

Unfunded mandates and declining demographics present additional headaches, while other stressors include challenging terrain, the harsh climate and the sheer distance between towns.

You canÕ t draw blood from a stone.

The Adirondacks are a brutal place to live and local leaders are simply concerned about keeping the lights on.

But this is now the new normal and we need progressive thinking to ensure sustainability.

HereÕ s another buzzword: Consolidation.

ItÕ s coming down the pipeline for both municipalities and school districts whether they choose to acknowledge it or not.

ItÕ s already happening.

Chances are that you drop off your trash at a dump jointly run by two towns.

You might voice your code and animal control complaints to a roaming official.

Your local ambulance squad may serve two communities.

And perhaps your kids live in one town, go to school in another and compete in an athletic team based in a third.

More examples abound, from shared administrative services governing payroll and benefits to transportation and fuel agreements.

All of this was born from necessity.

The next logical step, it seems, is for local officials to preemptively draft a long-term roadmap and invest in projects and infrastructure that will accommodate this new normal.

Take town highway and public works departments, for example.

Following these trends, we envision significant potential to tweak how theyÕ re structured.

Do a pair of towns along the same stretch of rural highway, for instance, each need a $200,000 road grader, or is that something that can be shared?

What about sand and salt?

Perhaps towns can enter joint purchasing agreements and store them in hubs located in strategic locations across several municipalities.

Once you crack this nut, the opportunities for shaving away duplications in local government are endless Ñ especially in the sparsely populated towns across the North Country.

Local governments have their marching orders.

The state has given them until June 1 to submit a plan demonstrating proposed efficiencies.

Tough decisions await.

To complement their re-organizational planning, we encourage them to also consider the longterm infrastructure investments that may be necessary to accommodate this shifting landscape.

There are several highway garages across the North Country that are in shambles Ñ like the one in Westport, for instance.

ItÕ s a pen stroke away from being condemned and town officials have raised concerns about safety issues and its ability to accommodate equipment.

Furthermore, itÕ s an eyesore.

As the town considers accepting a $500,000 grant to give the town hall a facelift that restores historical flourishes, a measure that would require $180,000 share from local taxpayers, we really have to question the wisdom of such an investment.

We encourage the town to reject the grant and instead use the $180,000 as seed money on a garage replacement solution.

Since itÕ s a straight shot to Essex, it may play a role in a future shared services plan, one that brings together personnel, vehicles and heavy equipment from numerous townships under one roof.

Of course, this is just one example Ñ and a hypothetical one at that.

More storms are brewing on the not-so-distant horizon on a road paved with tribal obstacles, like the situation facing the Elizabethtown Fire Department.

If they opt to spend six figures on a new addition, then perhaps they should only do so if they indicate that they are genuinely open to the idea of exploring ways to work more efficiently with their counterpart in Lewis, which is just a click up Route 9.

While the details may differ in each community, itÕ s clear that we will never return to the past in which each town existed in a neat bubble with their own unique identity.

Our advice while navigating this landscape is to think big. And creatively. Because before long, the choice will no longer be ours. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Upset citizens seek help to save MLH

To the Editor: IÕ m writing this letter because IÕ m quite upset that the fate of our very own Moses Ludington Hospital is in jeopardy once again. What is most upsetting to me is the fact that MLH and its properties belong to the people of Ticonderoga, yet the people of Ticonderoga are the last to know that we are in danger of losing our hospital! Last week there was a meeting by invitation only, to inform a select group of residents/business owners, about the plans concerning our hospital. Those plans include closing our hospital. The application to close/downgrade our hospital is public information, and can be found on this website on the internet. Please check it out health. nyh.gov/health_care/medicaid/redesign/dsrip/pps_applications/public_comments/summary_of_comments.htm. Then search Adirondack Health Institute, and click on project plan applications.

There are petitions now being circulated, please make your voice heard.

Your signature can help save our hospital. We need answers to questions like Ò Why are decisions affecting Ticonderoga Health Care being made without our knowledge or consent?Ó Since this affects all of us, why are only a select few being informed on this issue? Why has this been kept from us? Why would the board members make decisions of this magnitude on their own, without consulting the community as a whole? This affects all of us, and it is far-reaching. This touches all of the surrounding towns, businesses, and our tourists and the families who call Ticonderoga their second home, who own property here. They have invested in our community, and may fact plan on retiring here in Ticonderoga.

The current plan is to create a Ò free standing ERÓ , but this is not a solution. The cost of professionals to man an ER, Lab and X-ray would be exorbitant without other services that a hospital provides to help businesses in Ticonderoga. Please stop in and sign one. You do not need to live in Ticonderoga to be involved. You may live or work in the surrounding area like Putnam, Hague, Schroon Lake, North Hudson, Moriah, Port Henry, Witherbee, Mineville, Crown Point, etc. This could have an impact on your lives as well, either where you live or where you work.

Please help, sign a petition and as a friend to help spread the word.

Truth about changes To the Editor: The Times of Ti has recently run ads about health care changes proposed for TiconderogaÕ s hospital and nursing home. Their tone and content has been surprising, to say the least.

The Ticonderoga Health Center has been part of Hudson Headwaters for more than 20 years. Throughout this time, our physicians have regularly answered night call, visited sick people in their homes, and even delivered babies. The staff at the Ti Health Center is deeply committed to this community and has always tried to do whatÕ s best for patients.

Hudson HeadwatersÕ mission is to provide the best care, and access to that care, for everyone in the community. ThatÕ s what we try hard to do at the Ticonderoga Health Center. We take care of everyone, regardless of whether they have insurance or need help paying the bill. Last year, the Ti Health Center logged more than 21,500 patient visits, with 40 percent for patients who are covered through Medicaid. While Medicaid and uninsured patients are often shut out of private practices, they find no barriers at the Ti Health Center. As part of Hudson Headwaters, the Ti Health Center also offers a sliding fee discount to people who might otherwise not be able to afford care.

We understand that the Ti Health Center is one of several health care providers in Ticonderoga, and we are pleased to support them as well. Virtually all of our lab work goes down the block to Moses Ludington, along with the overwhelming majority of our imaging tests Ð all those that are warranted.

Hudson HeadwatersÕ physicians serve as the on-call staff for the Moses Ludington emergency room. At the emergency room, they make decisions about hospital admissions based on their clinical judgment and where patients tell them they want to go. Hudson Headwaters has absolutely no economic incentive to do otherwise. Sometimes our physicians send patients to hospitals that have surgeons or other specialists they may need. Sometimes they send patients home because they can care for them there just as well.

The staff of Inter-lakes Health (ILH) work hard for those in their care, both at Moses Ludington Hospital and Heritage Commons (Hudson Headwaters also provides medical care for the folks living there). We are pleased to partner with ILH and the other health care organizations that are working to keep as many services as possible in town Ð Elizabethtown Community Hospital, CVPH and the University of Vermont Health Network.

Regardless of when the proposed changes play out, Hudson Headwaters plans to add more primary care, more behavioral health, and more care management at the Ti Health Center. We are privileged to serve this community and committed to doing whatÕ s best for our patients.

Tucker Slingerland, MD Vice President, Hudson Headwaters Health Network

The power of a wish To the Editor: In September 2013 our son, Mason was diagnoses with Leukemia at six years old. He immediately started chemotherapy for his diagnosis and today we can say he is doing much better. Throughout this process there have been so many people and so many program/organizations that we have been introduced to.

Not long after MasonÕ s diagnosis various employeeÕ s with the Vermont ChildrenÕ s Hospital started asking what MasonÕ s wish was going to be. For the longest time we felt that there were other kids out there that needed wishes more than our son and we did not feel he was in the right place with his therapy to start that process. It wasnÕ t until the later part of 2014 that Mason was referred to Make-A-Wish.

The planning process got underway very quickly and we were contacted by a representative from the North East New York chapter of Make-a-Wish who assigned us Ò Wish GrantersÓ Rod and Erin. Over the course of the next few months Rod and Erin came to our home on several occasions to get to know Mason and his Ò Heart felt wishÓ . Ultimately MasonÕ s wish was to go to Legoland in Florida. To be quite honest, I could not even tell you all that was required to get this approved because MasonÕ s wish granters did all the work and really all we had to do was get them a few documents, sign a few releases and wait.

At every turn our familyÕ s needs were considered and accommodations

were made. Little did we know that MasonÕ s wish of going to Legoland would include so much more than just Legoland. MasonÕ s wish was announced at a small pizza party arranged by Make-A-Wish NENY. BoyeaÕ s located in Moriah donated all the pizza/drinks and space at Inter-Lakes Health was donated

by Mr. Boula, CEO. At the pizza party we were presented with a very detailed wish packet that left nothing to question. His wish had been approved, all the plans were finalized and all we had to do was get in the limo.

At each turn someone was available to assist us, answer questions, help carry luggage, maneuver car seat etc. Premier Limousine Service picked us up at our home and transported us to Albany International Airport. We were greeted by Chris from Make-A-Wish NENY’s Albany office at the airport who helped us avoid what for sure would have been a traveling disaster if left to us alone. We traveled with Southwest Airlines who were nothing but wonderful.

We were announced prior to boarding, boarded first and Mason even got to see the cockpit.

Once we arrived in Florida we were greeted by a wonderful volunteer from Give Kids The World (GKTW), an amazing organization in and of its self that we would be staying at for the next seven days. Our luggage was collected and we were transported to National Car Rental to pick up our vehicle for the week. We were provided with very detailed directions to insure we would get to GKTW without problem. The next seven days were filled with many wonderful experiences and smiles that created memories that will last a lifetime.

Mason got to experience Legoland, Seaworld, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and GKTW. If we had wanted to be a little more exhausted by the end of our trip we had the option to do much, much more because of the generosity of Make-A-Wish and GKTW. Ò I got my driverÕ s license, went on a bunch of roller coasters that scared Aunt Loretta, got to pet dolphins, see penguins and alligators, talk to Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, go swimming in a really bid warm pool when my Gammer was home freezing, eat ice cream every day, order pizza late at night and sleep in a really big bedÓ -Mason.

There will never be enough ways for us to thank Make-A-Wish or GKTW for all they do for families like ours. It is without question MAW could not do what they do without the help of all the volunteers and business that donate to make wishes possible.

Children who are fighting life threatening diseases loose a part of their childhood and often time can struggle with some of the very simplest things in life that are take for granted. Granting a childÕ s heartfelt wish can be the opportunity to instill hope and joy and to give back some of what their disease has taken. For some kids, it can be the turning point in their battle, the push they need to win. So, thank you Make-A-Wish, GKTW and all the volunteers and business that made MasonÕ s wish a reality. I hope that someday we are able to contribute to the mission of Make-A-Wish and make a difference in a Ò wish kidsÓ life.

Replace cows milk To the Times of Ti: We all look forward to this Sunday, May 10, when we celebrate MotherÕ s Day and the cherished bond between mother and child. Ironically, dairy cows - world-wide symbols of motherhood - never get to see their babies.

The newborn calves are torn from their mothers at birth and turned into veal cutlets, so we can drink the milk that nature designed for them.

The distraught mothers bellow for days, hoping for their return.

Most cows spend their lives chained on a concrete floor, with no access to the outdoors. Each year, they are impregnated artificially to keep the milk flowing. When their production drops, around four years of age, they are turned into hamburgers.

This Sunday, letÕ s honor motherhood and our natural compassion by replacing cowÕ s milk and other dairy products, all laden with fat and cholesterol, with delicious, healthful, cruelty-free nut or soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. These are available in every supermarket.

Mother cows, and our own bodies will be most grateful.

A big thanks To the Editor: IÕ m writing to thank all of the people near and far who have helped me and my family through the past year.

When my husband was diagnosed with metastasized melanoma a little over a year ago, the Essex Community Church began supporting our family with child care, rides for my children, ferry tickets and offers of help in any way.

As things worsened, more people got involved and began helping.

People that I barely know and donÕ t know at all joined our church family and came to our aid with food, donations to our fund, organizing or attending fundraisers, giving more rides to our children, offering work and letting us know that they were there to help us with whatever we needed.

Since my dear husbandÕ s passing a month and a half ago, the support is still being offered by so many of you wonderful people, it is extremely humbling. Ò Then the King will say to those on his right,Ó Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.Õ Ò Then these righteous ones will reply, Ò Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?Ó And the King will say,Ó I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!Ó Matthew 25:34-40.

All of you have done these wonderful, helpful, loving acts of kindness for me and my family. The love of God is in you all and is being spilled out into our lives.

We, as a family, thank God every day for all of the people who have helped us, the people in our community. My husband, Lloyd, wanted to write this letter prior to his death, but he ran out of time. So, from the entire Staats family, including my Lloyd, thank you all so much for your love and support. God bless you.

Peggy Staats and family Essex

Mother’s Day

C

an you remember the words to the old MotherÕ s Day song? IÕ m listening. Sing it to me. Ò M is for the million things she gave meÉ Ó Kaye and I tried it as I wrote this last Sunday. She gives me that quizzical look when I make these requests, but does her best to comply. We stumbled at a few of the lyrics, possibly learned wrong as kids. The last line should be, Ò Put them all together, they spell Mother, a word that means the world to me.Ó What you might not recall is that H o w a r d Johnson (not THAT one) penned it in 1915. Some sources refer to another song he wrote as being more

by Gordie Little famous. Perhaps you remember Ò I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream.Ó Being of Irish descent on my fatherÕ s side, I favor another of his Tin Pan Alley hits, Ò Ireland Must be Heaven for my Mother Came from There.Ó As we prepare to celebrate our moms this weekend, we should reflect on their importance in our lives from birth forward. Kaye and I choose not to dwell on negative things, but events of recent months deserve mention. A big part of what has happened in our house and so many others recently is generically called the “stomach flu.” We’re rarely sick here. We just donÕ t have time for that.

However, the flu bug nailed us this spring and put us both right down to the mat for a while.

While we were in a weakened condition, all of KayeÕ s children that live locally pitched in to bring us food and offered assistance in so many ways. Some travelled across country to be with her and allÑ whether they made it here or notÑ embraced her with their love.

I wonÕ t embarrass them by mentioning their names here, but they know who they are. Daily, they appeared, to clean the floors, make the bed, bring goulash and healthy soups and sandwiches and much more.

When Kaye heard I was writing this MotherÕ s Day piece, she insisted that I acknowledge all of her offspring along with many friends who offered their support.

All of them are humble enough to shun the limelight on this topic, but I can assure you that, if they are honest, they would say in unison that they are just repaying their wonderful mother who made untold sacrifices to raise them. When I tell people that Kaye had twelve babies, all by natural childbirth, they are understandably astounded. Then to bring me into her fold with my two boys forty-one years ago on May 4th, should earn her another good conduct medal.

There have been times over the past few weeks and months that I wasnÕ t certain we would survive to celebrate this anniversary, but when her children came to sit by her sick bed, she looked all of them in the eye and said in a tiny voice, Ò YouÕ re not gonna get rid of me yet.Ó And she was right.

Here we sit in full recovery mode with apologies for not being our usual sociable selves for a while. WeÕ re grateful for every minute and every new day. Yes, we often speak about our own mothers and IÕ ve written about mine in local publications.

My mom was Alta Grace Requa Little, born in 1901. KayeÕ s was Leona Trudo Vaughan, born in 1900.

I donÕ t think they ever met each other, but Kaye and I agree that their conversation would have been most interesting. Sadly, all four of our parents left this earth within a short span of time, one from the other.

While you are choosing cards and flowers for your mothers on Sunday, we urge you tell them face-to-face what they mean to you.

If they live far away, a phone call would be good; or, if they are gone, a little prayer of gratitude would be terrific.

I hung the hummingbird feeder outside our back deck last week. Kaye reminded me that our first ruby-throated visitor appeared on MotherÕ s Day last year. WouldnÕ t it be nice if that happened again?

as well as concern over the proposed changes. Ò We need to have this open and we need to have an ER here,Ó Kim Vilardo said. Ò This community has trusted you for many years and things continue to go downhill. We are the people of this community and we want a hospital here.Ó Cindy Trudeau added she was weary after hearing the board talk of proposed changes in the past which fell through. Ò Some of the things we have heard have not come to pass in the past, so where can our comfort level be hearing this again,Ó she said.

Joe Vilardo, whose father was a well-known doctor at the facility, said he currently does not use MLH for his care. Ò You have said nothing tonight which would convince me to come here,Ó he said. Ò Why have you not addressed the issues into why this facility is being under utilized? I think you should.Ó Vilardo added he felt the hospital should seek hiring its own doctors and medical practitioners rather than contracting through HHHN. Afterwards, Mundy said the key was to focus on moving forward.

“Everyone is doing a lot of finger pointing as to whoÕ s problem this is,Ó he said. Ò The fact is, itÕ s everyoneÕ s problem and we have to work together to solve it.Ó

We are going to keep and ER here. We will have clinical care. We need to bring this back to a point where we are breaking even. This is not something we just decided on last night.Ó Allen and Boula spoke about declining numbers in all areas of the hospital. Ò 2013 and 2014 have been very big losses,Ó Allen said. Ò This year we are on track with 2013 and 2014.Ó Ò This is the same trend you see across New York State,Ó Mundy said. Ò Instead of looking at less nurses leading to less health care, we need to look at things like sharing administrative services.Ó Mundy also spoke to the need of a constant face at the helm. Ò There have been nine different CEOÕ s here over the last 13 years,Ó he said. Ò We are committed to this. You are going to have stable leader-

ship through this and we will be able to share so many resources, which will also be very valuable.Ó Allen added he has heard from local state representatives who have offered their support and cooperation.

Ticonderoga Farmers’ Market set to open TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Area FarmersÕ Market sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) will take place on SaturdayÕ s from July 4 through Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at a new location 1114 Wicker Street, near the Walmart entrance, across from Christopher Chevrolet Buick.

The Ticonderoga Area FarmersÕ Market is a NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets FMNP (FarmersÕ Market Nutrition Program) approved market, accepting checks/coupons. Some farmers have the ability to accept food stamp (EBT) cards also.

FarmersÕ markets are a proven model for supporting local farms and play a significant role in community and economic development, health and nutrition and social wellbeing. It has been said that communities with farmers markets are more healthy, cheery and cohesive.

In 2014, the Market was a great success. AmeriCorps for the Adirondacks in partnership with the Chamber supported staffing to focus on its development. As the Market Manager, June Curtis was able to expand the market significantly (500 percent) and enhance the overall experience.

A LOGO with a Tag Line was developed to brand the market and create instant recognition. Over the summer, the Market was complemented by local business participation, educational outreach and kidÕ s fun events. The number of consumers grew from a beginning number of 75 to high of 215. With these energies at work, the Market ultimately outgrew its space.

The AmeriCorps program was not funded for 2015; therefore there was no posi-

tion to be filled. “A volunteer committee has been newly formed to operate the Market, continue the momentum we generated last summer and offer pastured meat and eggs, ultra-fresh produce, seasonal berries, hand-harvested honey, local maple syrup and much more,Ó stated June Curtis. Ò The committee, consisting of Ann Lamb, Market Manager, Kelly Smallidge, Candyce Harrington, Rosemary Ferguson, and Kristie Watrous, will share the responsibilities. I will carry on as advisor and assume fundraising and other administrative tasks.

This committee will not disappoint,Ó Curtis offered emphatically.

Having solidified the new space and obtained the NYS authorization, the Committee is now focused on recruiting farmers and vendors. Ò If you produce a quality food product that is locally grown, farm raised or handmade featuring local materials, you may be interested in participating in the FarmersÕ Market,Ó expressed Ann Lamb, Market Manager. Ò Farmers are required to grow 50 percent of the fruits and vegetables they offer. All products must be local (produced within a 100 mile radius of Ticonderoga including Vermont). The Market welcomes vendors who offer original goods that complement farmersÕ products. If you are hesitant to commit to the full season, a flexible schedule is readily offered to encourage your participation.

I joined the Market last year as Willow Wood Farm; it was an excellent business venture and a pleasing community experience,Ó she concluded.

As part of National Small Business Week sponsored by TACC, a Mini-FarmersÕ Mar-

ket will be held Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., to showcase the new location and preview the summer markets. Ò Although this is off-season for many farmers, farmers are invited to attend with plants, herbs, flowers, preserves, apples, root vegetables or any other product,Ó stated June Curtis. Ò Since farmers are the best part of farmers markets, farmers are invited to participate to say hello and socialize, to cultivate relationships for the oncoming season.

Vendors, businesses and organizations are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your goods and discuss your mission. This is to be a fun event to kick off the summer season,Ó she acknowledged. Local farmers, businesses, or organizations interested being involved with the Mini-FarmersÕ Market must register. There will be no charge for the Mini-Market.

Contact the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce for more information. You can also Ò likeÓ the Ticonderoga Area FarmersÕ Market facebook page. Ò New location! New Committee! New Benefit!” offered Matt Courtright, Chamber Executive Director. Ò The TACC offers an agricultural membership which includes along with full chamber membership benefits and support of the Chamber, a season pass to the FarmersÕ Market. Any Chamber member can attend the market as a vendor without charge. For non-season pass holders the Fee is $15 per market. The Ticonderoga Area FarmersÕ Market continues to grow under the leadership and June Curtis and the newly formed committee.

We are grateful for our 2015 location as we did outgrow

We will continue this year to expand the market and not only offer local produce and products but special events. Look for details to be announced,Ó he added.

Farmers, vendors, businesses, local artists, businesses, and organizations interested in participating in the market should contact the Chamber at 585-6619 or email chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com.

TINADA, police to hold take back day Crammond scholarship to be awarded Application deadline May 15 TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Police Department and the Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse (TiNADA) Coalition Hosts a Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, May 9.

With the cessation of DEA-sponsored semi-annual take-back days, Ticonderoga plans to continue to provide safe disposal options for old, unused or unneeded prescription drugs.

Ticonderoga, The Town of Ticonderoga Police Department, with the support of the TiNADA Coalition and the Prevention Team, is hosting a Prescription Drug Take-back day Saturday, May 16, at their facility at 135 Burgoyne Road, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Residents are encouraged to bring their expired, unused or unneeded prescription drugs to the confidential drop off location at the Police Department for safe and environmentally friendly disposal, no questions asked.

With the cessation of DEA-sponsored semi-annual take-back days last September, it is now up to communities to address their own prescription drug collection and disposal. Although phar-

macies may now collect controlled substances for disposal, the cost and crime threat are high and not a viable option in most small communities. Unused medications in homes create a public health and safety concern, because they can be accidentally ingested, stolen, misused, and abused. Getting these substances off the street, especially the controlled substances like oxycodone, hydrocodone and other opiate pain medicines, is a priority concern of the TiPD and TiNADA. A group of concerned citizens from various sectors of the community came together in 2013 and formed Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse (TiNADA) in an attempt to address some of the issues arising from substance abuse in our town. Early in the process Police Chief Mark Johns said that Ò 40 percent of the arrests made by the Ticonderoga Police can be attributed to an underlying substance abuse problem.Ó This problem not only contributes to our townÕ s law enforcement expenses but impacts the quality of life and the health and safety of our residents.

TICONDEROGA Ñ The LaChute Road Runners Club will again present the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship this spring.

The $1,000 award will go to a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track & field who attends college full-time. The winner, selected by a scholarship committee, will be a person who reflects the strong academic, athletic and character traits of Crammond.

He died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24.

Scholarship applications are available at the Ticonderoga High School guidance office, by contacting Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, at 585-7206, and online at lachute.us/misc_PDF/ Scholarship.pdf Application deadline is May 15.

This year will mark $11,000 in scholarships awarded in CrammondÕ s memory by the LaChute Road Runners Club. Ò Duane was a great runner, but he was so much more,Ó Karkoski said. Ò He set a great example for younger runners through his work ethic and determination to succeed. Ò WeÕ re pleased we can honor Duane with a scholarship and, at the same time, help someone meet their college goals,Ó he added.

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

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

The 2014 Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Jay Hebert, who now studies at Harvard University where he competes in track and field.

Hebert, valedictorian of the 2014 Ti High class, is the most decorated athlete in school and Section VII history. He won six straight state championships in the hurdles, three indoors at 55 meters and three outdoors at 110 meters.

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

OBITUARIES TIMOTHY RONALD REAP SEPTEMBER 17, 1966 – MAY 1, 2015

Timothy Ronald Reap, a resident of Colchester, Vermont, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 1, 2015.

Tim was born on September 17, 1966 in Silver Spring, Maryland to Patricia and Ronald Reap of Gaithersburg, MD. Following High School in Germantown, Maryland, Tim served four years in the United States Air Force, as Airman First Class and Crew Chief in charge of maintenance of F16 fighter jets at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, and later became a TSA Security Officer at Washington Dulles Airport in Virginia and Burlington Airport in Burlington, Vermont. More recently he was self-employed as a free lance computer specialist for several different companies in Vermont.

Tim exhibited tremendous respect for service men of all branches of the military and volunteered to meet and guide older veterans of tours through the war memorials

of Washington, D.C. His love of history made him perfect for this job. His interests included science, space exploration and Notre Dame and Washington Redskins football.

Shoot at La Chute: Motor City Angels make stop in Ti

By Ryan Edwards

gels were captivated by the sprawling lakes and rolling vernal hills adorning the landscape of their first ever North Country experience. ÒI t makes me not want to go back home,Ó Sammy said, soaking up the sun in front of The Pub. Ally echoed her sentiment: ÒI t was just an amazingly beautiful experience,Ó s he said.

The Angels will be back again for their Americade cover shoot in June, where they will set up their home base at CiroÕ s Restaurant in Lake Luzerne.

According to Hall, the whole enterprise is a new experience for both him and the Angels. ÒW eÕ re all learning, every day,Ó h e said.

The tour will continue to cities all across the U.S. Ñ including Sturgis Bike Rally in South Dakota Ñ as well as a possible trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Apparel, calendars and other items are available for purchase at the companyÕ s website, as well as future tour-dates: motorcityapparel1. com.

ryan@denpubs.com TICONGEROGA Ñ You may have heard the roar of motorcycle engines thundering down Montcalm Street Saturday, May 2.

No, Americade didnÕ t come early this year Ñ these bikers were rallied to receive a group of motorcycle models who rolled into town for a photo shoot.

Four of the eight Motor City Angels Ñ Bridget, Sammy, Ashley and Ally — made the first stop of their calendar-shoot tour at the Bicentennial Park waterfall, stopping along the way to mingle with local bikers at The Pub on Montcalm Street.

The Angels, hailing from cities all across the United States and Canada, are models for NewYork-based clothing line Motor City Apparel, and they travel the country posing for calendars of varying explicitness.

A raffle is held for the residents of every stop on the tour, through which riders can submit pictures of their bikes, and, if chosen, both they and their bikes will be featured in the calendar shoot.

Each Angel has her own calendar Ñ 12 photos and a cover page shot at 13 different locations Ñ and, ironically, under a clear blue sky and a sweltering sun, the four Angels present shot their January photos in Ti. The company designs and sells biker-themed t-shirts. ÒS ome of the stuff is a little edgy, but itÕ s what we do,Ó said Motor City Apparel owner Ken Hall, of Warresnburg.

The Angels are a part of an what Hall describes as an unique advertising campaign with recurring, identifiable models. ÒW e didnÕ t want to use nameless, pretty faces,Ó H all said.

But, according to Hall, thatÕ s not all he hopes to achieve through Motor City Apparel: he is looking to team up with local charities along the way to help re-brand the biker image and garner outside respect for their community and way of life. ÒWh en you see all these documentaries, you only see the bad side of bikers, but what you donÕ t see is all the good they do,Ó Hall said, noting the various charities and community-

service-related events hosted annually by motorcycle clubs across America. ÒB ikers are the most patriotic of all people Ñ itÕ s about freedom, itÕ s about helping othersÓ he added.

The Angels do not discriminate among riders, either, according to Hall. ÒA nyone can submit their bike, whether youÕ re a dirt biker or a Harley rider,Ó h e said.

Hall also cited plans to expand the brand to other motor vehicles, from classic cars to airplanes. ÒW eÕ re not provincial to motorcycles,Ó he said.

Also, starting on this tour, the group will be filming behind-the-scenes footage, which they plan to use for a show on their YouTube channel.

Moriah Central School budget will stay under state cap May 19 ballot will ask voters to buy two new vehicles

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com MORIAH -- Voters in the Moriah Central School District will head to the polls May 19 to weigh in on a proposed $15.73 million budget that increases the tax levy by 1.97 percent.

The proposed levy falls under the tax levy increase of 2.04 percent the district was allowed by the state, according to Superintendent Bill Larrow.

Under the proposal, the districtÕ s budget would increase about .21 percent as compared to the current fiscal year budget of $15.7 million.

District officials noted the tax levy would increase to around $3.95 million, compared to $3.87 million this year.

Larrow said the district is hoping to add two part-time teaching positions. Bringing on the additional math and English instructors will help students in the core subjects, and the positions would also assist with SAT preparations.

Voters will see ballot items asking them to either reject or OK the purchase of two new vehicles: one bus, and a student passenger vehicle. Ò Buses need to be replaced,Ó Larrow said.

Throughout his nine years as superintendent in the district, Larrow said the process for crafting the annual budget has been consistent. Input is sought from community members, staff and teachers. Even if sometimes people disagree with decisons in the final budget, “We’re very thankful for the input we receive,” Larrow said.

Officials expect the amount of Moriah’s annual budget received through state aid to increase 2.6 percent, but Ò itÕ s not where it needs to be,Ó Larrow said. Ò I donÕ t think itÕ s just our school. I think itÕ s every school,Ó Larrow said.

Several positions have gone unfilled in recent years due to a lack of state aid, Larrow said. Ò Retirement over the years has affected the district,Ó Larrow said.

School officials have “had to juggle class sizes around,” to reduce some of the challenges that come with teacher retirements, Larrow said.

State lawmakers in 2011 enacted legislation that limits the amount property taxes can increase. School districts need 60 percent of voters to approve a cap override, but fewer districts are asking voters to go above the cap as many residents would be quick to rebuke a steeper property tax bill. Some have raised concerns that the cap limits a districtÕ s ability to keep up with rising costs to provide a high quality education.

Larrow added in the interview last month that negotiations are in progress for both district collective bargaining units.

Also on Election Day, incumbent board members Elise Dema-

Spirit of Place issues call for artists WESTPORT Ñ All artists living, working in, or visiting the Lake Champlain Region are invited to participate in a grand and diverse art exhibition at the Westport Heritage House this summer.

The Spirit of Place Exhibition runs from July 1 to Labor Day. A silent auction, begins July 1 and concludes Aug. 8 at 3 p.m. on Westport Festival Day. Work that is not sold by auction, will continue on sale at the artistÕ s stated value. Seventy percent of sales proceeds go to the artists, with the remainder benefiting the Westport Heritage House. A small portion from these funds is being set aside to eventually purchase gallery lighting for Heritage House exhibits.

Typically, this exhibit includes painting, pottery, collage, sculpture, fabric art, photography and more.

A Meet the Artists Reception is planned for Thursday, July 16, just prior to the Soundwaves concert in Ballard Park, across the street. Geographically, the artists range north and south from Willsboro or Chesterfield to Ticonderoga, and to the west, from Westport to Keene or Keene Valley.

Now in its eighth season, Spirit of Place also will include Artist Studio Tours, when the public can visit where local creativity happens. Art makers will open their studios on the last Saturday of July, August, and September. A complete list may be obtained from the Westport Heritage House or on their website after June 15.

A Call to Artists is being mailed in early May. If, as an artist, you do not receive this detailed information, call Meredith, 962-4590, or Nancy, 962-4805. Non-artists, watch for more information this summer about this visual treat.

rais, Erica Kazlo and Stacie Jaquish are all running for the three seats up on the ballot. Demarais is seeking election for the first time, after being appointed to fill a vacancy. All school board seats are three-year terms. Board members are not paid.

A public information session on the proposed budget will be held in the Moriah library at 6 p.m.Thursday.

Polls are open on Election Day from 1 to 8 p.m.

‘Rising star’

Stone is the son of Greg and Christine Stone and a graduate of Schroon Lake Central School class of 2002. He graduated from the State University of New York at Oneonta and attended the Missouri Auction School, where he further developed his vocal expression.

As a youth, Stone lived for the race track just south of his hometown, and listening to those

who called the action. Ò Living an hour north of Saratoga, my dad was always a fan of horse racing,Ó said Stone. Ò As a kid I used to use my toys to play races and announce, I announced everything.Ó Stone also wrote a letter to his idol, famed announcer Tom Durkin. Ò I asked him what courses to take in college to become a race announcer,Ó Stone said. Ò The unbelievable part is, he wrote me back.Ó In 2006, Stone signed on with Louisiana Downs, where he spent eight years. In 2014, he was hired as the track announced for Monmouth Raceway, replacing 20-year veteran Larry Collmus. Ò We are excited to have Travis join the Monmouth Park team,Ó said Ben Kulina of Monmouth Park at the time of StoneÕ s hiring. Ò HeÕ s a talented race caller with passion and intelligence for the game.Ó Collmus had left Monmouth to become the track announcer at Churchill Downs, so one year later, Stone would again be replacing the voice of the Triple Crown. Ò Travis Stone is justly a rising star among the North American announcing ranks,Ó said Kevin Flanery, Churchill Downs Racetrack President in the press release announcing his hiring. Ò To no oneÕ s surprise, numerous race-callers with a wide range of talent and individual style showed interest in our vacant track announcer position. But it became clear to us that TravisÕ passion for horse racing and charisma resonated through the microphone and made him the ideal fit for our team and racing at Churchill Downs.Ó Flanery added, Ò We believe heÕ s one of the nationÕ s premier announcers and will be a fabulous ambassador for Churchill Downs Racetrack in a community and region that loves horse racing like no other for years to come.Ó Stone’s career had previously taken him to the “Twin Spires,” first as a participant in the 2006 All-Star AnnouncerÕ s Day on the day prior to the 2006 BreedersÕ Cup World Championships, and as part of a group of five guest announcers during the 2008 Fall Meet.

North Country SPCA Our featured pet this week is Patches, a Domestic Shorthair-Mix who has beautiful black and white markings which frame her sweet face. This little lady is a little timid, and very frightened to be at the shelter which is very noisy and strange to her. She has warmed up to the shelter staff enough to enjoy being petted and even gives a little Ò head buttÓ to show when she is happy, but she really needs to find a home of her own. Patches is hoping to find a quiet, serene environment where she can relax and really show off the affectionate feline she can be.

If you are looking for a gentle adult cat who just needs a little TLC, Patches may be the purrfect addition to your family!

Why not stop by and meet her today?

Essex County Chair Randy Douglas announces resignation

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas will resign to accept an appointment from the governor, he announced Monday morning.

In a stunning announcement, Douglas said at MondayÕ s full board meeting that he planned on resigning from the chairmanship effective on Friday, May 15 and as Jay supervisor during the first week of June. Ò Since Hurricane Irene, many opportunities have become available and IÕ ve turned them down,Ó he said. Ò But the time has come for me now to move on in my career.Ó In an emotional speech, Douglas listed several highlights accomplished during his tenure with both the town and county, including the replacement of the Lake Champlain Bridge, saving Moriah Shock from closure, the creation of a costly new countywide radio system, numerous infrastructure improvements and leading recovery efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Douglas lauded his colleagues and county officials for bipartisanship and reserved special praise for his staff, Susan Richards and Carol Greenley-Hackel.

“It’s not too often that you find people who are so loyal to you.Ó Douglas, now in his sixth term as chairman, declined to comment on the specifics of his new job, only to say Gov. Andrew Cuomo had made him an offer. Ò I donÕ t want to get out in front of my future boss,Ó he said, referring to Cuomo as a Ò dear friendÓ who has made the North Country a better place. Ò HeÕ s worked very hard,Ó said Douglas.

Douglas, however, did pledge continued support for Olympic investments and other local issues. Ò If we want to make Essex County a better place, it starts with tourism,Ó he said. Ò If thereÕ s anything I can to do to help, IÕ m going to be right there at the forefront with [North Elba Supervisor] Roby Politi and Gov. Cuomo leading the way.Ó Douglas, who also serves as the presidentelect for the New York State Association of Counties, also cited burnout for his decision. Ò I burned myself out from taking more and more on,Ó he said. Ò I didnÕ t know how to say no.Ó The third-generation super added that the advent of social media has been it more difficult to be an elected official. Ò I canÕ t let things roll off my back so thatÕ s the one that got me in the end,Ó he said. Ò I tried to stop every rumor, everything that was out there

Essex County Chairman Randy Douglas announced on Monday, May 4 he plans on resigning the county’s top leadership slot by Friday, May 15 in order to accept an appointment from the governor. Douglas’ sixth term as a chairman is the longest consecutive stretch since the 1940s.

Ñ

I canÕ t do it anymore.Ó Douglas succeeded his father, Thomas A. Douglas, who died in office in 2000. Prior to that, his grandfather, Arthur J. Douglas, served from 1966-1972.

He is the longest-running chairman since Willis Wells, the North Elba supervisor who led the board from 1941 to 1947. Ò I watched my dad die in this position,Ó said Douglas. Ò And I can longer no longer put my family through this.Ó

Supers react

Lawmakers, who offered a standing ovation following DouglasÕ remarks, were surprised at the decision. Ò ItÕ s certainly going to leave a huge void,Ó said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava.

As a senior member of the body, Scozzafava said heÕ s been through many chairs, but Douglas, he said, is without precedent. Ò His commitment to the people of this county, his commitment to this board of supervisors, and his bipartisanship is unparalleled.Ó Gerald Morrow, of Chesterfield, said he supported DouglasÕ decision. Ò HeÕ s done an excellent job, nobody could have done better,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re going to miss him,Ó said George Canon, of Newcomb. Ò IÕ m happy for him moving on to other phases of his life, other challenges.

Museum dinner fundraiser slated

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Heritage Museum will host the 13th annual Taste of Ti Thursday, May 15, at the Best Western Plus, with appetizers at 6 p.m., and dinner at 6:30 p.m.

This major fundraiser for the Museum features Ò tastesÓ of favorite dishes from area restaurants and food providers. From appetizers to desserts, diners are able to sample menu items from local restaurants, enjoy a relaxing dinner, visit with friends and neighbors and at the same time, support the Heritage MuseumÕ s free ChildrenÕ s Summer Workshop series and other free programs that take place at the Museum during the season. An opportunity to win one of several door prizes, offered by food providers and farm stands, is included in the ticket price. There is also a basket raffle and a 50/50 raffle being offered. Tickets are $17.50 each and are on sale at the TACC office, Libby’s Bakery Cafe or by calling Jane Bassett at 585-6178.

Basket Party, Luncheon to be held

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Clinton-Essex District Order of the Eastern Start is holding a Basket Party and Luncheon Saturday, May 16, at the Masonic temple, at noon. The admission is $6, which includes 10 basket tickets and lunch. Additional tickets may be purchased at 10 for $2.

Fort Ti announces Scout weekends

TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga announces the return of the immersive overnight program for Scouts during the spring and fall of 2015. Scouts can book their adventure for Saturday nights from Saturday, May 16 through Saturday, June 6, and Saturday, Aug. 29 through Saturday, Oct. 24.

This offer is available for Boy Scout troops and Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. Ò Imagine your troop being able to garrison Fort Ticonderoga overnight!Ó said Fort TiconderogaÕ s Director of Education Rich Strum. Ò Give your scouts an experience theyÕ ll never forgetÑ a rare chance to spend the night at Fort Ticonderoga.Ó Participants have the option of setting up their own tents on the historic grounds or, if numbering 16 or fewer scouts and adults, spending the night in the SoldiersÕ Barracks. A cost of $700 for 16 or fewer scouts and adults or $1000 for up to 30 scouts and adults includes admission and special program fees as well as the evening and morning meals prepared over a camp fire. Additional fees may apply.

For additional information about this and other programs

ItÕ s unheard of for us to elect a chairman six years in a row, which we did in his case. HeÕ s just been a fabulous chairman and one of the best, if not the best one weÕ ve ever had in this county.Ó Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew expressed similar sentiments. Ò I believe heÕ ll still be an effective conduit from Essex County to the governor’s office,” he said.

While Douglas didnÕ t respond immediately for comment before this addition went to print, other media outlets reported his new gig as a position sitting on the state unemployment insurance review board.

Movin’ on up

Several of the county’s elder lawmakers flatly said they were uninterested in moving up the bodyÕ s hierarchy to the seat of chairman. Ò IÕ m not interested,Ó said Scozzafava. Ò Would I be interested?Ó asked Morrow. Ò No.Ó Merrihew, a former chairman, was more coy: Ò I will be happy to lend my experience in the evolution of new supervisors to assume those responsibilities.Ó Ò If the opportunity presents itself, I guess it would be nice,Ó said Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, who took office in Jan. 2014. Ò But IÕ m only a junior.Ó

available for scout groups during the 2015 season, visit the Fort Ticonderoga website at fortticonderoga.org, click on the Ò EducationÓ tab, and select Ò ScoutingÓ in the drop-down menu. To make a reservation, contact Nancy LaVallie, Group Tour Coordinator, at 585-2821 or at nancy@fort-ticonderoga. org.

Fort War College slated

TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga presents the opportunity to attend the Twentieth annual War College of the Seven YearsÕ War Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 17, in the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center. The conference focuses on the French & Indian War in North America (1754-1763), bringing together a panel of distinguished historians from around the country and beyond. This is open to the public; preregistration is required. The registration deadline for this seminar is Friday May 8, 2015. Ò Begun in 1996, the War College of the Seven YearsÕ War has become one of the country’s premier seminars on the French & Indian War,Ó said Rich Strum, Fort TiconderogaÕ s Director of Education. Ò It features a mix of new and established scholars in an informal setting for a weekend of presentations related to the military, social, and cultural history of the French & Indian War. An enthusiastic audience of nearly 200 people represents all levels of interest, from general lovers of history to scholars.Ó The cost of the program is $155. There are discounts available for Members of Fort Ticonderoga. Registration forms can be downloaded from Fort TiconderogaÕ s website at fortticonderoga. org by clicking on Ò EducationÓ and selecting Ò Workshops and SeminarsÓ on the drop down menu.

Friends of Library to meet

PORT HENRY Ñ The Friends of the Sherman Free Library will meet Tuesday, May 19, at 6 p.m., at the library to discuss the upcoming wine and cheese tasting.

Historical Society to present Englehart

HAGUE Ñ The Hague Historical Society will host the Warren County Historical Society Program Ò Historic Bridges

Vice Chair Bill Ferebee will take over the top leadership role as interim chair once Douglas officially resigns.

The board will then appoint a new chair and vice chair.

Ferebee wants in: Ò IÕ m going to lobby for chairman,Ó he said. Ò Randy has paved a path for Essex County and I hope to continue down that path.Ó Ferebee said Douglas will remain a close friend to Essex County: Ò IÕ m very excited and very happy for Randy,Ó he said. Ò HeÕ s done a fantastic job and heÕ s being rewarded for that.Ó Douglas’ resignation will add to the significant shake-up of the board for the next term; this fall is an election year that will see at least three supervisors bowing out.

Dan Connell (Westport), David Blades (Lewis) and Canon have all said that they plan to retire.

And in Jay, according to town law section 64, section 5, in case of a vacancy in a town office, the town board has the authority to appoint an acting supervisor to serve until Jan. 1 the following year.

In the absence of an appointment, the governor has the right to call a special election or make the appointment himself.

FAREWELL LETTER Dear Constituents,

It is with a heavy heart and many mixed emotions that I announce today that I am resigning as your Town of Jay Supervisor and as Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman at a date yet to be determined in early June.

Over the past 11 and 1/2 years, I have strived to represent you all to the best of my ability. I can’t thank you enough for the confidence you placed in me to lead our community through some very trying times. The job as town supervisor has become more and more time consuming and very demanding over the last several years.

During these years, I was very blessed to have such an understanding and caring family that has allowed me the time necessary to do the job and represent all of our needs at the town, county, state and federal level.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your town supervisor over these last 11 and 1/2 years and I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity.

The time has come for me to make a career change, face new challenges, have less stress in my life, and most of all, to spend more time with my family.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely, Randy Douglas
