SHATNER ARRIVES TO MEET FANS
Actor William Shatner was a hit in Ticonderoga
At 98, Ken Hyatt still runs his Port Henry barbershop
» Shatner Cont. on pg. 2

PORT HENRY | It was 1950 when Kenneth Hyatt decided it was time to open his own barbershop in downtown Port Henry. On April 30, he turned 98 and that shop at 4301 Main St. is still open and he’s still inside cutting hair. At a community birthday celebration sponsored by the Moriah Chamber of Commerce, Hyatt reflected on how barbering has changed in the 70 years he’s been doing it. “I still have my regulars,” he said. “Nobody under 40 gets their hair cut at a barbershop anymore, no kids, they go to a beauty parlor.” Most haircuts are now delivered at a hair salon, he mused. “The women (stylists) messed it up when they started cutting hair,” he said. “They put a lot of barbers out of business.” » Barbershop Cont. on pg. 15

MORIAH | Winds of up to 73 miles-anhour knocked out power and caused extensive damage in Moriah and northern Essex County on May 4. A tree that fell in the Putnam Pond State Campground in Ticonderoga resulted in the death of a Tupper Lake woman. Parts of Moriah, Elizabethtown, Westport and Willsboro lost power after the late night storm, but most electrical service was expected to be restored by May 7. Dozens of trees came down on wires or fell across roads, with fire departments working into Saturday morning to clear them.
Moriah Tow n Super v isor Thomas Scozzafava said he’s been in contact with National Grid. “They are restoring power as fast as they can, and additional crews are also here in our area as well as private contractors,” he said. “This storm caused extensive damage to the power line infrastructure and NG is hoping to have power restored by sometime (Monday).” At least 20,000 homes and businesses lost electricity in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. The phones were dead in much of Essex County through May 6. Many fire companies staffed stations with both firefighters and emergency medical responders, and people needing help were asked to go directly to the stations. Thunderstorms rolled across the region, bringing heavy rain and strong winds, with dangerous downdrafts that wreaked havoc, said Peter Banacos, forecaster with the National Weather Service in Burlington. » Storm Cont. on pg. 7
