CPCS shoPPinG For A cAuse budget under cap

This Week SCHROON

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com

CROWN POINTÑ The Crown Point Central School DistrictÕ s proposed $6.64 million budget for next fiscal year calls for a property tax levy increase of just under 1 percent, while also providing additional funding to some key areas, including a vocational education program.

The budget plan, which voters can weigh in on Tuesday, calls for a levy increase of .96 percent. It falls under the state tax cap for the district of 1.62 percent.

Under the proposal, property owners would see the district tax rate increase from roughly $11.20 per $1,000 of taxable value to approximately $11.31 per $1,000 of assessed value. A property valued at $100,000 would see the school-portion of the tax bill increase from roughly $1,120 to about $1,131. That does not take into account any exemptions or tax bills from other governments.

Superintendent Shari Brannock said the proposed budget includes about $70,000 more for vocational education through BOCES. Ò More kids are taking advantage of the career and tech route,Ó Brannock said.

state rolls out $200 million fund to boost water, sewer

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Help is on the way for rural communities who need to shore up ailing water quality infrastructure projects.

A new clean water revolving loan fund will cover $200 million in funding gaps across the state over three years.

On Monday, Adirondack Council Executive Director William Janeway briefed the Essex County Board of Supervisors on the funds and asked the supers to help identify potential projects in their

communities.

Even with zero-interest long-term loans, small communities need additional help to avoid placing a massive debt burden on local taxpayers, he said.

This program was designed to provide that help.

Funds for each project will be capped at $5 million and the improvements must be to an existing structure. Ò ThereÕ s going to be a feeding frenzy, there always is,Ó said Janeway. Ò But itÕ s the smaller upstate communities that are going to be better positioned for this.Ó

Fifty million has been allocated for this fiscal year; $75 million each thereafter, with the loans to be administered by the Environmental Facilities Corporation.

Janeway said wastewater projects in Saranac Lake, Harrietstown, Jay, Ticonderoga and Willsboro have already been determined to be eligible, while Ticonderoga, Au Sable Forks, Newcomb, Tupper Lake, Fine and Tupper are all eligible for drinking water funds.

We’ve botched our beach bods. But it’s not too late

I

tÕ s here.

Summer, the golden season when the mountains, lakes and roadways glow with adventure.

The Adirondacks is unparalleled when it comes to opportunities for outdoor recreation.

We’ve got it all, it’s a fitness paradise.

But what about those of us who use the winter as a cover to maintain our unhealthy lifestyles?

Too cold. Not enough sunlight. Just because.

Meh. The equivalent of Mother Nature going from zero to 60 in three seconds has been maddening.

Where did all of these toned, lycra-clad people come from?

We see them around the neighborhood running, biking and hiking here and there (from the vantage points of our vehicles, of course).

ItÕ s depressing.

We no longer have a valid excuse for our lethargy.

The sunÕ s out.

Look at them, the healthy ones.

Boo! Seeing all of these toned, sleek physiques is intimidating, especially when we gaze at our doughy visages in the rearview mirror after pulling out of the gas station parking lot following another dietary lapse in judgement.

We will never be those people Ñ the ones who ride bicycles on the Cascade Road or those who take long canoeing trips, or the folks who can been seen disappearing into the firs with large packs on a Friday afternoon.

Last fall, we bought one of those pocket guides Ñ 9 Easy Hikes or something like that.

The goal was to do all of those, transition to snowshoeing in the winter before emerging this time of year as someone who was moderately fit… or at least able to get dressed without running the risk of a hernia.

That, of course, didnÕ t happen Ñ The pocket guide took its place on the shelf between 101 Fresh Recipes and 88 Ways to Simplify Your Work Life.

April brought the realization that little time remained to shave off that fat; May, the grim concession that we will never be those people, the healthy ones.

The early summer hit us like a two-by-four right between the eyes.

We feel like weÕ re not alone in our thinking: Sixty-four percent of Essex County residents are overweight, while 37 percent are obese Ñ thatÕ s the fourth-highest rate in the state.

Franklin clocks in at 33.4 percent; Clinton, 26.8 percent; Warren, 30.5 percent and Hamilton, 25.9 percent.

While we donÕ t see ourselves participating in IronMan anytime soon, weÕ d like to share three simple changes that we plan on incorporating into our daily schedules this summer without much effort.

We encourage you to do the same.

Walk more. Walking ranks so low on the fitness totem pole, it should be a crime to not to work a postprandial stroll into our daily schedules. People do it all the time. But we donÕ t, opting instead to drive our flabby frames over even the smallest of distances. Public health officials in Essex County have made it really easy for us to reverse this through Creating Healthy Places, a five-year project designed to, well, create healthy places in our communities. In Elizabethtown, for instance, this comes in the form of a pleasant stroll through both the forest and town, a circuit that remains popular lunchtime activity for workers. Each town in Essex County has a project designed to spur physical fitness.

Find yours and join them.

Eat healthier. Buy local produce, yeah, we get it. But it bears repeating that simply removing processed foods from your diet will lead to weight loss. Easier said than done, we know, especially when money is tight. But efforts are underway at the state level to make it easier for vendors at farmers markets to accept SNAP benefits and maybe even WIC coupons, measures designed to foster nutritional literacy and improve access. If youÕ re light on dough, itÕ s good to know that access to fresh, local food isnÕ t just for the elite. And for those of us who use busy schedules as an excuse for not eating well, an increasing number of farmers are working with businesses to provide workplace CSAs, a purchasing arrangement that sees fresh goods dropped off right at your workplace.

Volunteer. One of the neater aspects of life in North Country is the volunteerism, which, while is chiefly due to necessity, also contains deep streaks of altruism. People here are a friendly bunch and if you donÕ t see yourself walking more, or eating better, perhaps forcing yourself to get out and move around by helping others might lead to weight loss by default.

There is no shortage of opportunities out there, from firefighting to emergency services or fraternal organizations who could all use your help, even if only for an errant weekend picking up trash or manning the grill at a fundraiser.

So while most us will likely never join the ranks of the uber-fit, perhaps we can at least hold our heads high the next time a clump of cyclists glide by… or even honk, not as a sign of passive-aggressive frustration, but rather as one of solidarity.

Publisher’s Column

Are we prepared for what lies ahead?

W

eÕ ve watched the threats continually increase over the years. This nation and others have watched as embers of terrorism surface quickly and then fade into memory, almost as quickly as they appeared.

The concept of living with terrorism is one weÕ ve had to accept, but are we now on the verge of seeing more isolated attacks from within?

Last week top U.S. officials and lawmakers intensified concerns about the growing threat of jihad-inspired terror Dan Alexander attacks against the United States, after the recent thwarted Thoughts from attempt in Texas and the dire FBI warning that followed.

Behind the Pressline Ò I think thereÕ s been an uptick in the stream of threats out there,Ó Texas GOP Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, told Ò Fox News Sunday.Ó Ò WeÕ re seeing these directives on almost a daily basis. ItÕ s very concerning. Terrorism has gone viral.Ó McCaulÕ s comments follow the May 3 attack by two gunmen outside a Ò Draw MuhammadÓ event in Garland, Texas.

Tweets by one of the two gunmen, killed by police in the attack, appear to link him to radical Islamic terror groups. Internet chatter purportedly tipped off officials about a possible attack on the event organized in such a fashion to nearly ensure some form of violent protest if not exactly what happened.

FBI Director James Comey said the attack highlights the difficulties the FBI faces, as social media serves to facilitate communication between terror groups and potential homegrown extremists sympathetic to the movement.

He also warned that the Islamic State terror group has thousands of English-language followers on Twitter, including many here in our midst in the U.S. The group also is increasingly steering followers into forums that allow for encrypted communications that can be harder for law enforcement officials to access. Ò The siren song sits in the pockets, on the mobile phones, of the people who are ISIS followers on Twitter,Ó Comey went on to say. Ò ItÕ s almost as if thereÕ s a devil sitting on the shoulder, saying Ô Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill,Õ all day long.Ó As time moves on the nationÕ s law enforcement agencies are in the position of finding a needle in a haystack and from all weÕ ve come to understand it may only be a matter of time before this reaches a level commensurate with what weÕ ve been warned, now that the terror threat is one of the highest weÕ ve seen.

If we do in fact find ourselves in a new environment and the likelihood of these attacks are imminent, what options or steps can be taken to safeguard those dear to us?

Are these potential attacks something to fear or are we just at a point where the likelihood is just one of lifeÕ s inconveniences that we accept as everyday life? As odd as that sounds unless we take steps to resolve these issues, we have no other choice but to accept them in our midst; crazy radicals who will pop up from time to time, seeking to destroy innocent life.

General George Marshall said it best after the end of World War II: Ò The only way human beings can win a war is to prevent it.Ó As a nation we must find new ways to demonstrate leadership and sufficient resolve to keep the lid on an ever growing tumultuous world. We must find solutions to deal with these events should an outbreak find its way onto our soil.

Radical jihadists must be seen as a deadly disease that must be wiped out and the sooner the better.

Letters to the Editor

Upset citizens seek to save hospital

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 http://www.health.nyh.gov/health_care/medicaid/ redesign/dsrip/pps_applications/. 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 in fact plan on retiring here in Ticonderoga.

The current plan is to create a Ò free standing ERÓ , but this is not a so-

lution. The cost of professionals to man an ER, Lab and X-ray would be exorbitant without other services that a hospital provides to help offset those costs. There are petition to keep our inpatient beds open, they are circulating in local business 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 ask a friend to help spread the word.

Supporters rally for Essex County Judge Meyer in Lake Placid

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID Ñ As temperatures heat up, so has the race for Essex County Judge.

Several dozen supporters gathered at the Lake Placid Boat House last week for a fundraiser for incumbent Richard Meyer, a Republican who is running for re-election against Brian Barrett, a Lake Placid-based criminal defense attorney who is running on the Democratic line.

Walk the walk

I

f you talk the talk, you must walk the walk. All of us know exercise is essential for good health. ThereÕ s an old joke: I had a good workout this morning; completed fifteen pushups…with my eyelids. That’s not what youÕ d call a full-body routine.

So, after a winter and early spring of relative lethargy, itÕ s time to get a move on. Oh, yes, IÕ ll be spading up our Little crop strip here and mowing the lawn, but thatÕ s not nearly enough. So, hereÕ s the plan. Getting outside and walking two miles a day will be my goal.

The day I wrote this began with showers. It wasnÕ t a good excuse for remaining here in my

by Gordie Little recliner; so I got my butt in gear and trudged up the street. Of course it precipitated a nap. Those are important as well.

Hey, itÕ s a start. The gawdawful stomach flu struck our house earlier. Perhaps you felt its nasty effects where you live and work.

Enough already. Time to turn the page and look forward to the next chapter of good health. IÕ m an eternal optimist and (almost) never admit having a bad day. Nearly 36 years on the radio without staying home due to sickness.

While working as a Crime Victims Advocate for eight years after radio, I was assailed by a terrible flu bug once and took half a sick day. It was either going home or expiring at my desk. Since then, getting the flu shots every fall did the trickÑ until the spring of 2015. The experts failed to predict the strain of flu that would sweep the country and the inoculation neither prevented nor mitigated the effect of our intestinal woes.

Thankfully, that is now past history and our house on the river is hopefully a healthy haven at least for the near future. I have many mirrors in my house that are constant reminders of my inevitable aging. Where there were once the bulging muscles of robust youth, there are now the bags and sags of advancing age. So be it. I still want to feel good and, by gosh, I will. Thus, IÕ ll walk the walk and hope for the best.

For many years, it was running and biking. Not anymore. The bikesÑ all three of themÑ have been donated to the Christmas Bureau and the helmet is relegated to a high shelf. From this day forward, a brisk walk will have to suffice. Losing twenty pounds during the recent flu session was kind of a pleasant adjunct. Getting used to not eating as much during meals and in between, kind of agrees with me. From now on, itÕ s a kind of brain training, whereby the portions are much smaller. Wish me luck.

IÕ ll probably never be a lightweight again.

When I moved to Plattsburgh in July of 1961, the scales read 203 pounds and the tape read 34 inches around the waist. How things have changed in the interim. When I was in high school I lifted weights daily at home. In those days, I knew no one else who did so. I was proud to note that my left bicep (IÕ m a southpaw) was the same size as the then undefeated heavyweight world champion boxer, Rocky Marciano: 14 inches. Now, itÕ s about 12 inches of pure flab. My weight this morning was 263.

But there is still hope. Eating healthy, thinking healthy and moderate exercise will be my mantra for the summer of 2015 and beyond. IÕ ll make an honest effort. Perspective is one of my favorite words. There were many ways to put my life into perspective. I look at my wonderful wife Kaye as she steps on the scales and it reads 90 pounds. I joke by saying my left earlobe weighs that much.

With her support and yours, IÕ ll slog up and down the Morrisonville sidewalks every day and attempt to log at least ten miles each week. If you happen to drive by and it appears that IÕ m not moving, bear in mind that itÕ s just an optical illusion. Chances are, my mind is moving a great deal faster than my feet.

New restaurant features Southern BBQ

Joe Bodette is spearheading the new venue on Montcalm

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A little smoke and fire may be visible on Ticonderoga starting next week when Joe Bodette gets cooking.

BodetteÕ s Barbecue has its sights on Tuesday for opening day at 133 Montcalm St. It’s not his first restaurant venture. Bodette and his wife Cindy have previously operated FrenchmanÕ s Restaurant in Crown Point, which is now under new leadership.

Joe Bodette, 58, who will be the Ò pitmasterÓ of the new venue, said it will feature classic Ò Southern styleÓ barbecue with a bit of a Ò Northern twist.Ó Plans call for maple, instead of the more traditional hickory, to be used to give a special sweetness to the smoked meats. Ò ItÕ s a lot of fun,Ó Bodette said of running his prized smoker and finding the perfect taste for each morsel of barbecue.

Bodette said the impetus for his barbecue ventures stems back to his parentsÕ gatherings in Vermont where the family operated a dairy farm.

Ò It was just -- it was fabulous it was the highlight of my summer. As we got older -- my brothers and I -- we took over cooking duties from my father and his friends. We kind of expanded a little bit from chicken, we got into some ribs and some stuff like.Ó Not one customer has been served and finishing touches are being put on the two-story building directly across from the town hall, but Bodette has a clear vision for the property directly across from the government building on Montcalm Street. BodetteÕ s vision is for the venue to be a family-friendly restaurant, with a menu pleasing to nearly all types of palettes.

Featured items will include pulled pork, beef brisket, pulled chicken and smoked turkey. In addition to the barbecue staples, BodetteÕ s will have a solid list of beverages to offer and soft serve ice cream.

There will be indoor and outdoor seating. Ò WeÕ re hoping to have a great tourism business, but at the same time IÕ ve already gotten a great response from local residents both here and over in Addison County,Ó Bodette said.

Ticonderoga seniors learn lessons in shopping, giving back

Dale Quesnel, Marcus Moser and Constance Bailey keep a running tally on how much they have purchased as part of the shopping exercise to benefit the Ticonderoga Food Pantry.

Katherine Taylor, Sarah West and Brianna Veneto look for items to fill their cart with during the budgeting shopping exercise to benefit the Ticonderoga Food Pantry.

keith@denpubs.com

Students from Ticonderoga High School fill up the Ticonderoga Food Pantry with items purchased through a shopping exercise with members of the senior economics class, FBLA and Key Club, supported by the Ticonderoga-Montcalm Street Partnership and the Stewart’s Holiday Match program.

TICONDEROGA Ñ It was a chance not only to put their knowledge to work in the real world, but to give back to the community which has helped raise them at the same time.

Students from the 12th grade economics class, FBLA and Key Club took to the aisles of Walmart May 1 to fill their carts with food and supplies for the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. Ò They get to use budgeting skills from class to make their money go as far as it can and help toward a good cause in the process,Ó economics teacher Jay Wells said. Ò We have gotten better at the variety of the food and supplies we get.Ó Seven sets of teams were part of what has become an annual exercise in the class, each given a budget of $178 to buy as many and varied items as they could without going over their budget while choosing a variety of items from a list of needs for the pantry, maximizing the quantity of each item and staying within a time limit of about one hour.

Results varied, with one team checking out with a sum of $177.99.

Ò It is a good activity for the students to see what things cost and keep within a budget,Ó John Bartlett of the Ticonderoga-Montcalm Street Partnership said. Ò ItÕ s also a bit of a competition as well as a benefit for the food pantry.” Ò We wanted to look for good values when we were shopping,Ó senior Kolby Bradford said. Ò We focused on staying in the budget and comparing stuff for the value. We also tried to get items we would buy ourselves.Ó Ò We were able to watch how we spend and watching the quantity of what we get,Ó Hannah Whitford said. Ò I also got a lot of advice from my grandparents, who taught me how to shop.Ó Ò I do the shopping in my family, so I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to get,Ó Constance Bailey said.

The TMSP helps fund the annual program, along with a donation from the StewartÕ s Holiday Match grant program, which donated $1,000 toward the shopping exercise at Walmart. Ò We are really glad we could help out with this project,Ó Walmart assistant manager Robin Letourneau said.

Ticonderoga students get immersed in Best of England

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Just a little trip across the pond became an experience of a lifetime for 15 Ticonderoga teenagers.

The Best of England Tour recently set off from JFK Airport in New York City for its destination of London, England. The trip, led through EF Educational Tours out of Boston, took the youth to several places throughout England.

“After arriving in London our first stop was Trafalgar Square home to the National Gallery and NelsonÕ s Column,Ó said Ticonderoga organizer Maria Bagneschi. Ò We also visited St. PaulÕ s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. During our free time we visited Covent Garden and the world famous HarrodÕ s. We then traveled to Somerset and toured Salisbury Cathedral where the original Magna Carta is kept and Jane Austen is buried. While at Stonehenge everyone pondered just how those massive boulders got there. After a night at the 600 year old Shillingford Bridge Hotel we made our way to the historic city of Bath. While there we visited the Roman Baths and then went to Stratford Upon Avon to visit ShakespeareÕ s birthplace and visit Anne HathawayÕ s (ShakespeareÕ s wife, not the actress) Cottage. A tour of Oxford and Brasenose College was our last stop before returning to London. Our last day was a busy one with a boat cruise of the River Thames, a ride on the London Eye and a tour of the Tower of London.Ó Members of the touring group included Zara Al-Asmri, Brittany Charboneau, Jeanette Clark, Megan Clark, Nick Fitzgerald, Lillith Ida, Tyler Morse, Willa Shakeshaft, Cody Shaner, Mackenzie Strum, Rich Strum, Margie Tierney, Shelby Turner, Josie Worley and group leader Maria Bagneschi.

To fundraise for the trip, the group held a bottle drive, candle sale, wreath sale and spaghetti dinner. Ò It was a wonderful experience overall,Ó Bagneshi said. Ò I love traveling with this age group.

Several had traveled before so they were nice mentors for the other kids because some had never traveled outside the country and some had never been on an airplane before.Ó

Youth from Ticonderoga enjoyed a trip to England recently. Here, the group poses in front of the Tower Bridge.

Bagneshi, a teacher at the high school, said while the trip is not sponsored by the district, they are supportive of the educational opportunity it provides. Ò EF Educational Tours supplies a tour director who was with us from the time we got to JFK until we got back there,Ó Bagneshi said. Ò This is the 10th EF tour we have been on. ItÕ s nice to see kids out of the classroom and they

get to see me in a different light, as well.Ó Ò I am glad I got to do this while I was still in high school,Ó Josie Worley said. Ò It has given me a great opportunity to experience a lot of culture outside of Ticonderoga. England was especially fun for me being a fan of history.Ó Ò It has been a great experience to go and see different cultures,Ó Cody Shaner said. Ò ItÕ s a chance to realize what the world is like outside

of Ticonderoga. The foods, the people and the transportation.Ó Ò I have never traveled to another country other than Canada, so it was fun to see all of the historical locations as well as the movie and television locations,Ó Mackenzie Strum said. Ò We went to several churches and cathedrals and learned a lot about religion. I am also a huge fan of tea, so I drank some every day.Ó

Ticonderoga High School students help clean up the streets

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Students from Ticonderoga High School went around town Friday, April 25, looking to clean up the streets.

Since 2007, students at the school have been taking time out of their school day to participate in an Earth Day cleanup event.

This year, students covered several locations throughout the town, including Lake George Avenue, Calkins Place, Champlain Avenue, Alexandria Avenue, Baldwin Road, Black Point Road, and Rte. 74 near the Lake Champlain Ferry. Ò We picked up over 1,000 pounds of trash,Ó said teacher Bill Morse, who helps coordinate the annual clean up event with Rick Merrill.

Morse said there was a noticeable difference between this year

and the last as far as the amount of trash needing to be picked up. Ò The streets were much less littered than in prior years. Hopefully the message is getting out,Ó he said. Ò There was much less trash from fast food restaurants.Ó Students have the option to participate during a study hall or other free period during the day. They also have the chance to go with certain classes whose teachers will donate time in the classroom for time serving the community. Ò Over 100 students went out from study halls or from different participating classes,Ó Morse said. Ò we had help from several teachers. The school supplied trash bags and gloves and the town highway department picked up the bags from the side of the streets.Ó Students get to see up close the mess that can be caused when trash is allowed to pile up along roads and in parks because of the negligence of those who do not clean up after themselves. It

also gives students the chance to give back to the community and provides a learning experience outside of the classroom. Ò They get to do something to help their community and they realize not to throw trash away outside because they see how much of it is out there and how much of a problem it can cause,Ó Morse said.

The annual project was originated by Marsha LaPoint, who was an art teacher at the school, according to Morse. Ò There is all of this trash that shows up after the snow banks melt away and you get tired of seeing it and want to get it picked up, so that is what we wanted to do with this annual service day,Ó he said.

St. Mary’s gets reconstruction aid Knights of Columbus donate nearly $32,000

TICONDEROGA Ñ When St. MaryÕ s School re-opens this fall, it will be with the help of the Knights of Columbus.

The Catholic benevolent fraternal society has raised nearly $32,000 for the Ticonderoga school. Ò On behalf of the Ticonderoga council and St. MaryÕ s School, we thank all of you for bringing everything together on the state and supreme level of the order to help our school,Ó said Mike Edson, Grand Knight of TiconderogaÕ s Knights of St. Isaac Jogues Council 333. Ò The efforts of everyone involved are proof that, with faith, anything can be achieved. Ò I am proud to be not only a Knight, but the Grand Knight of our council this year,Ó he said.

When a devastating and suspicious fire totally destroyed St. MaryÕ s School last September, the Knights of St. Isaac Jogues Council 333, their brother Knights throughout the Diocese of Ogdensburg and the New York State Council sprang into action. Efforts were coordinated among Council 333Õ s Chaplain Fr. Kevin McEwan, Grand Knight Edson, Financial Secretary Richard Liddell, District Deputy William McIntyre and New York State Secretary Dr. Charles Robinson, who is a commissioned lay minister in the Diocese. Ticonderoga council Lecturer Frank McCabe and Treasurer Les Bilow also played key roles.

The fire occurred on a Friday. One week later, at the 4:30 Saturday Mass at St. MaryÕ s, the Knights State Secretary and the District Deputy presented Father McEwan and Principal Sister Sharon Dalton, SSJ, with a $2,500 check from the State Council on behalf of State Deputy Carmine Musumeci and the 90,000 Knights in New York State for the immediate needs of the school. At that time, Father McEwan said that the funds Ò were already spentÓ as the supplies that the teachers bought to get the school running cost over $2,000. The school was to restart the next day in temporary quarters in the newly-partitioned church basement and in the nearby First United Methodist Church.

The New York State Council has long been an ardent supporter of the Catholic schools in New York State and has for many years matched monetary donations from local councils to Catholic schools in their vicinity. As such, it promised to donate an additional $2,500 if that amount could be matched by councils and assemblies within the diocese. Ticonderoga Council 333 was charged with coordinating that effort.

Council 333 had a drawing at its November dinner following its Memorial Mass. It gave out $5,000 worth of prizes, with $5,000 more going to St. MaryÕ s. They sold 200 $50 tickets, letting only Council 333 Knights and their wives buy tickets. Hon. Dominick Viscardi, a Brother Knight of Council 333, won the $2,500 top prize and then donated that amount back to the fund for St. MaryÕ s. Thus 333 itself raised $7,500.

Within five months, other councils in the diocese, in New York State Ñ as far away as Staten Island and as close as neighboring Port Henry Ñ and in Winooski, Vt., donated nearly $8,800 and the state council put in its $2,500 match.

Donating were councils from Adams, Morrisonville, Plattsburgh (Council 6067 and Council 7215), Peru, Saranac Lake, Indian Lake, Brasher Falls, Port Henry, Bloomingdale, Champlain, Tupper Lake, Waddington, Massena, Keeseville, Canton, Old Forge, Malone, Lake George, Chateaugay, Potsdam, Staten Island, Norfolk and Winooski, Vt. The State Secretary, through the State Deputy and New York-based Supreme Director Art Harris, inquired if the Supreme Council would be willing to help with recovery efforts, and Supreme in mid-March donated $10,000 to the school. The State Secretary and the District Deputy again travelled over to St. MaryÕ s to present that check to the pastor and the principal.

All in all, thanks to the generosity of the Knights, more than $31,000 was raised in this five-month time frame.

The Knights of Columbus is a worldwide society of 1.8 million men dedicated to the principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. By their action, their focus is on enhancing their parishes, families, communities and youth. The Knights provide substantial relief and manpower after natural disasters, such as tropical storm Sandy in New York and New Jersey and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

The St. Isaac Jogues Council 333 has 259 members and a long history. The Ticonderoga Council of the Knights of Columbus was formed on April 24, 1898, with 42 members.

PRIDE to seek Main Street Grant TICONDEROGA Ñ PRIDE of Ticonderoga is planning to submit a New York Main Street grant this summer to assist downtown building owners with interior and exterior renovations. Ò We are seeking candidates to participate in the grantÓ , says Sharon Reynolds from PRIDE. Ò The grant focuses on buildings that are mixed-use with businesses on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors”.

The grant is a matching grant. What this means is that if the building project came to a total of $6,000, the owner would be reimbursed $3,000 on completion of the work. PRIDE has awarded over 25 grants to Ticonderoga downtown building owners over the past several years. The grants have varied from $2,500 to $50,000 which equates to projects ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 making a significant impact in the downtown.

There will be an informational meeting Thursday, May 21, in the PRIDE Office, 111 Montcalm Street, at 5:30 p.m. At this meeting there will be discussion about the details of the grant and whether or not building owners are able to commit to their project within the two-year timeframe. Ò This is a very competitive grant and there are no guarantees that the application will be successful this year. However, if the grant is not successful this year PRIDE will submit the grant again in 2016Ó , states Reynolds If anyone has questions or want to discuss whether or not a project qualifies, email PRIDE at sreynolds@prideofticonderoga. org or call the office at 585-6366.

The Knights of Columbus have donated nearly $32,000 to St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga, which was destroyed by fire last fall. From left are District Deputy Bill McIntyre, Ticonderoga Council Treasurer Les Bilow, Ticonderoga Council Financial Secretary Richard Liddell, St. Mary’s Church Pastor Father Kevin McEwan, Ticonderoga Council Lecturer Frank McCabe and Ticonderoga Council Grand Knight Mike Edson.

The spending is a sound investment because it helps students gain experiences to help them in the workforce, she added.

Special education costs are expected to go up about $30,000 next year. District officials also have budgeted for furniture updates in some classrooms and improvements to the school’s traffic circle.

According to Brannock, the budget keeps personnel levels essentially the same. Ò No cuts, no hires,Ó the superintendent said.

Employee wages are expected to go up between 2 and 2.75 percent, Brannock said.

She also noted medical insurance costs were projected to increase by about $32,000 next year.

Transportation expenditures in fiscal year 2014-15 were budgeted at $375,856.

Next yearÕ s budget proposal calls for $394,167 to be allocated for transportation. The transportation hikes are Ò very reasonable,Ó said Brannock, who added the district was able to reduce spending on fuel during the current fiscal year.

Local property taxes are expected to generate about $1.58 million, with the state kicking in about $4.3 million. BOCES aid is anticipated to total $253,051.

The election is Tuesday, May 19. Those casting ballots will be able to vote for school board, too. Incumbent June Glebus will be only name on the ballot for the position. Polls will be open at the Crown Point Central School from noon until 8 p.m.

Moriah Drama’ s Comedic play touches on mysteries at secret site

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ The space within the Moriah Central School auditorium will resemble a mysterious military installation this weekend when more than 30 young thespians come together for a production of Ò The Aliens Are Coming! The Aliens Are Coming!Ó An energetic cast and crew led by drama director Melissa Reilly has three scheduled productions this weekend.

The play by Tim Kelly centers on a convention near a top secret government facility, Area 502.

Roles include inn operators, UFO conventioneers and government officials. Characters gracing the stage go by names such as Mayor Mintweed, Hyacinth Muggleworth and Commander Coburn. Aliens, soldiers and hotel workers are also interspersed throughout.

Reilly said many students have blossomed in the roles.

TheyÕ ve mastered their lines and shared lot of laughs.

Choosing more serious story lines sometimes chokes an actorÕ s willingness to stretch his or her comfort zone.

A goal of throughout her nearly two decades with the district has been to keep the audience engaged by choosing plays that will encourage students to accentuate their personalities.

“With comedy we just have so much flexibility,” Reilly said.

The stage production and lighting work are sure to please the audience. Scenes handle diverse settings throughout the play, including one that involves a dramatic silhouette. She said this yearÕ s production continues a tradition set by previous Moriah drama students. Ò The thing that we are known for is action,Ó Reilly said.

IF YOU GO:

WHAT: “The Aliens Are Coming! The Aliens Are Coming!”

WHO: More than 30 students from Moriah Central School are involved with the drama production.

WHERE: Moriah Central School auditorium, 39 Viking Lane, Port Henry.

WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday, May 15 and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

MORIAH — Essex County health officials pulled off an effective counter measure to a mock anthrax attack last week during an exercise last week at the Moriah Central School.

Officials from several agencies teamed together to stage the exercise, which centered on a Middle Eastern terrorist group infiltrating the U.S. mail supply.

Their mock attack was conducted by injecting anthrax spores into credit card solicitation envelopes.

The countermeasure exercises “are meant to find your strengths and weaknesses,Ó said Linda Beers, Essex County public health director.

Moriah students and community volunteers played roles as patients being processed through a line inside the school. Other volunteers and agency representatives wore bright-colored coats to identify themselves as part of the emergency distribution team. First responders were also in the parking lot to oversee traffic flow.

The pretend patients making their way through a slew of tables were given Tic Tac mints to replicate Ciprofloxacin and doxycycline. The antibiotics are used to prevent anthrax, which is a serious bacterial disease.

To contribute to the preparedness exercise, Beers said she encouraged students to “act up” if they wanted. That’s because preparing for difficult and unexpected occurrences can be beneficial during the exercise.

Beers explained that one student pretended he was hoarding medications for his family, which is a scenario that could occur during a real medical countermeasure. Ò They could ham it up, act it out,Ó Beers said.

Adults also took their roles seriously. After being told she could present questions to medical workers, Port Henry resident Jennifer Stevenson advised officials that had recently gotten over a sinus infection.

Stevenson said she didnÕ t know if the effects of the condition, which mimic flu-like symptoms, could heighten her susceptibility to anthrax. Ò Nobody heard me, they didnÕ t answer me,Ó she said.

While Stevenson would have liked to know the answer to her question, she said she was very pleased with the overall distribution of the medication and professionalism of the response staff. Ò I think it was a good idea,Ó she said.

Essex County and other county governments throughout the state hold annual drills and exercises to help them respond to public health emergencies.

Through playing out scenarios like biological attacks, officials say they improve strategies and response efforts for dealing with bioterrorism.

Although a few snags occurred during the event, including some bottlenecking in lines and a few minor computer glitches, Beers said the exercise was a big success.

In particular, she was incredibly satisfied with the “interagency support.”

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ ThereÕ s still time for those looking to experience a unique art installation at the Sherman Free Library -- a series of colorful eggs will be up through May 30.

The local artist Zelda, the pH7 community group and other residents helped arrange the eclectic display.

The presentation took center stage last month in conjunction with National Library Week. But organizers will leave it up through at least May 30 for members of the public to enjoy, according to Zelda, the Brooklyn transplant now practicing her craft in the North Country.

Contributions to the display were made by a broad spectrum of community members including teenagers and seniors. Each egg carries a phrase or image designed to deliver an uplifting message to visitors as they embrace the spring season, Zelda said via an email to promote the event.

Zelda sculpts, writes, performs and collaborates with other artists on a variety of projects. The area artist noted she was drawn to help spearhead the local exhibit to Ò create a vibrant and colorful display incorporating the positive wishes, dreams and prayers of her new adopted community.Ó Regular library hours are Tuesday from noon to 7 p.m., Wednesday from noon to 4 p.m.; Thursday from noon to 7 p.m.; Friday from noon to 5 p.m.; and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The library is located at 20 Church St.

Supers sound off

St. Armand is the midst of a $4.5 million wastewater treatment project, the largest ever tackled by the town.

Supervisor Charles Whitson said users are responsible for $2.4 million as part of the payback.

Whitson said his biggest concern is that the project doesnÕ t go far enough due to a lack of funds, leaving out five streets, some with malfunctioning septic tanks.

The super would like to see those streets hooked up.

Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said his town is still struggling with the water treatment plant they inherited from Keeseville upon its dissolution.

ItÕ s been hit with major violations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Conservation, said Morrow. Ò WeÕ re going to be looking for some help,Ó he said.

Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington said his town is Ò under the gunÓ with sewer concerns following a series of citations, while the water main running underneath Main Street has seen over 30 breaks in recent years.

Harrington said a big picture solution was needed, noting the school district needed the security of both an adequate water delivery and sewer system in order to remain sustainable. Ò Crown Point will not be able to grow until these issues are taken care of,Ó he said.

Harrington cited the lack of redundancies as a contributing factor to the problems, as did Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland, who said that issue is main reason the townÕ s wastewater plant saw a total collapse in 2013.

The Adirondack Council will work with the supers and Deputy County Manager Mike Mascarenas to identity projects and apply for the funds.

Outgoing Essex Chairman Randy Douglas, who was honored by the agency for his Ò tireless effortsÓ on behalf of the people and natural resources of Jay, Essex County and the Adirondack Park, urged the group to work with Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew to make progress on ElizabethtownÕ s delayed wastewater treatment system. Ò The only way the county seat is going to grow is if we work on a sewer system,Ó said Douglas.

Press-Republican alters delivery methods in southern Essex Co. Total number of affected subscribers a mystery, questions strike a nerve with publisher

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ ItÕ s a morning ritual that residents have always enjoyed: Wake up, put the coffee on and shuffle outside to grab the newspaper.

But that ritual has been disrupted following the Press-RepublicanÕ s decision to alter the way their newspapers are delivered to some subscribers, a change that went into effect May 1.

Once distributed by independent carriers, the papers are now being sent to subscribers in parts of Essex and Franklin counties by the postal service, a development that has pushed delivery back to mid-morning, or later depending on when mail is delivered and where subscribers live or work.

Interviews with residents along one affected area, the rural stretch of lakeside highway between Westport and Port Henry, revealed mixed reactions to the change, with some saying they were upset and would likely drop their subscriptions and others saying they would continue subscribing for now.

Doug Sears, of Westport, said while he now received his newspaper around 10 a.m., he wasnÕ t terribly upset by the shift. Ò You get used to it,Ó he said.

Danna Place, on the other hand, said she canceled her subscription that morning.

Place did so because she receives her mail through a post office box.

The delivery change meant that Place would have to make daily trips to the post office, a change in routine that she said would be inconvenient, and one that would not allow for delivery of the Sunday edition.

The box would quickly fill up if she declined to do so, she said, leaving little room for other mail.

Cost reduction

The change was made to reduce transportation costs to outlying areas, explained PressRepublican Publisher Bob Parks in a statement published in his newspaper on May 5.

Prior to the change, drivers had been distributing papers to the Malone area, the Tri-Lakes region and as far south as Ticonderoga, as well

The Plattsburgh Press-Republican daily newspaper has altered its delivery method in parts of Franklin and Essex County. The paper will no longer be hand delivered early in the morning but will instead come in the mail. as the smaller communities in between.

The vast majority of readers will continue to receive carrier delivery, said Parks, and all affected subscribers had been notified by mail.

In fact, he said, the change would now allow the newspaper to reach isolated residences that were once prohibitively expensive through carrier delivery.

The website will continue to be updated multiple times daily, he noted. Ò We realize this is a fairly big change for those who are used to getting their newspaper each morning and we are thankful for your continued understanding and loyalty,Ó said Parks.

Prior to the switch going into effect, the issue became a hot topic on social media, with many unsure if they would still receive the paper that day, or even at all. Others questioned what would happen on Sunday, when mail is not delivered.

Parks acknowledged the chatter in his statement: Ò The change prompted some misinformation on social media that the Press-Republican was no longer delivering to those areas,Ó said Parks, who was also criticized for waiting until May 5 to make a public statement.

One reader said the online discussion was a direct result of what was perceived as a lack of communication.

“So the Press-Rep waits until May 5 to finally

report publicly the change in home deliveries to over 1,400 of its subscribers,Ó wrote Lake Placid resident Francis Strack on Facebook. Ò No mention that the letters that were mailed came on the day, or day after, the change.Ó The exact number of affected subscribers remains unknown, as does how the shift will affect distribution to newsstands and other vendors in the affected areas.

One vendor, Saleem Hayad, of Port Henry Mobil, reported a slight uptick in daily sales following the change, up to 15 compared to between 10 and 12 before.

Parks declined to discuss specific details when reached by email for comment, referring to the aforementioned statement. Ò BTW, I donÕ t discuss marketing plans, etc. with competitors,Ó he wrote to a reporter.

Parks also declined to elaborate in a videotaped interview with WCAX earlier this month.

But Parks did insinuate, however, that if Denton Publications went ahead with this report, he would assign a staffer to investigate rumors that Denton Publications is for sale.

In response, Denton publisher and owner Dan Alexander said that he was advised to have the company evaluated to establish value for estate planning. The only way to do so for an organization with a unique set of factors like a community newspaper is to test the market, he said.

Ò ItÕ s nice to know that they think of us as competition,Ó said Alexander. Ò For many years, they would not acknowledge our community papers as an equal.Ó Alexander called the news a Ò sad commentary for the paper and the communities they serveÓ and was disappointed Parks was not more forthcoming to share information about the affected subscribers. Ò The Press-Republican has done hundreds of stories on company cutbacks and layoffs,Ó said Alexander. Ò ItÕ s odd how they react when the shoe is on the other foot.Ó The Press-Republican has served as a valuable resource to the region for over 100 years, said Alexander, who stressed the importance of local ownership.

Decisions made from afar, he said, may not always be the best for the community. Ò As a subscriber and newspaper junkie, it seems obvious to me that these changes were not made locally by the professional staff who understand the makeup of our region, but by the investment ownership whose purpose is not the newspaper business, but the investment business,Ó said Alexander.

Denton Publications is a family-owned business based in Elizabethtown, New York.

The Press-Republican is owned by Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc., an Alabamabased company that owns some 130 media properties across the United States, according to their website.

In January, CHNI made headlines when they shuttered the Tonawanda News, a longrunning daily newspaper in western New York, for business reasons, including advertising and circulation.

According to the Alliance for Audited Media, the Press Republican has a total average circulation of 15,020, with about 70 percent of their total paid circulation coming from Clinton County.

Essex County boasts 19 percent and Franklin, 9.4 percent.

Alexander said changes like this reflect badly on the newspaper industry as a whole. Ò ItÕ s important to understand the difference between locally-owned and community-invested versus corporate ownership,Ó he said.

Place, the Westport resident, painted the change as a cultural shift in how people interact with their community. Ò This is the North Country and the newspaper is a big part of everyoneÕ s morning,Ó she said. Ò Everyone is so busy, itÕ s a quiet place you go to each day. ItÕ s a bygone era and thatÕ s too bad.Ó

TINADA, Ti Police Amtrak, Fort Ti continues partnership set annual Prescription Take-Back Day TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Police Department and the Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse (TiNADA) Coalition Hosts a Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, May 16.

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

Although pharmacies 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 Guests to Ticonderoga arriving by train aboard AmericaÕ s National Railroad Passenger CorporationÕ s (Amtrak) Adirondack Train will now be able to hop on to Fort TiconderogaÕ s new shuttle service thanks in part to Amtrak support. Beginning Friday, May 22, (Memorial Day weekend), shuttle service will pick up guests arriving to Ticonderoga from both the north and southbound Amtrak trains where they will be transported to TiconderogaÕ s Best Western Plus Inn and Suites and the Fort Ticonderoga museum campus. The service will be provided free of charge to Amtrak travelers through September 7. For more information, call Fort Ticonderoga at 585-2821.

The 2015 season marks the fourth year of Fort Ticonderoga and AmtrakÕ s partnership. The Ticonderoga Train station located at Fort Ticonderoga has been a popular stop for guests along AmtrakÕ s Adirondack line. This year, Amtrak will offer one free companion rail fare with the purchase of one regular adult rail fare, on the state supported Adirondack line to and from Fort Ticonderoga, now through Saturday, Oct. 31.

In the outdoors, there’s always a game

G

ame is a traditional term used to describe any fish, fowl or other wild creature that is hunted for either sport or food. The term comes from medieval hunting terminology in the late 13th century and it is particular to the English language, coming from the generic Old English gamen, which means Ò joy, amusement, sport, or merrimentÓ .The term has been used widely to define the distinction between a variety of species of a particular animal, such as wild turkey and domestic turkey.

A wild turkey is born in the wild, and feeds primarily on natural foods available in the forest habitat, while a domestic turkey is fed grain and other supplements to enhanced their growth.

Although a domestic turkey may feed on insects or similar wild forage, it does not live in the wild. As a result, it is not as wary of natural predators (including humans) as itÕ s wild counterparts.

Fish taken with a rod and reel, strictly for sporting purposes, are widely referred to as game fish. However, game fish may also be consumed at times, especially in the case salmon, tuna, trout and other species. Typically, game fish are pursued for the thrill of the chase, rather than the taste of the meat.

The distinction is often defined by the means of harvest, which generally involves a measure of skill with a rod and reel, rather than simply dragging a net behind a trawler. However, not all sport fish that are caught are to be eaten. The growing popularity of Catch and Release ethics, and the recognition of Ò Line classÓ World Records, which require anglers to release trophy fish they have successfully landed on extremely light tackle; have combined to make ‘game fishing’ pure fun.

Sportfish including sailfish, tuna and marlin are now caught, tagged and released to ensure the species will continue to breed in the wild. The Catch and Release ethic, which states “A fish (trout, tuna or tarpon) is too valuable to be caught only once has been responsible for the perpetuation of many unique strains of wild fish, all over the world.

True trophy fish, which are released so they can continue to reproduce, serve to preserve a unique genetic stew that is likely to result in still more trophy fish.

The wide variety of animals that are hunted for food varies widely in all parts of the world.

The choice of food or sport is influenced by climate, animal

diversity, diet and locally accepted views about what can or cannot be legitimately hunted. There is also a particular distinction between regional varieties of common species of a particular animal, and also between domestic and wild strains of a species as in the case of wild turkey versus domestic turkey.

The same holds true with wild, or native fish caught that are for sport, versus hatchery reared, stocked fish.

The term Ô gameÕ which is particular to the English language in medieval times, is a hunting term meaning Ò joy, amusement, sport, and merriment.Ó However, it appears the term quarry has been greatly expanded, and the Ô joy, merriment and sport of taking a bird or animalÓ is no longer considered the ultimate culmination of a chase. In fact, the Ô killÕ is no longer considered the ultimate necessity of the hunt, as digital scopes now allow hunters to capture an image of the intended game animal, and no projectiles are required.

Catch and Release Birding

While turkey hunters have been in the woods since the beginning of the month when the season opened, birders are in the woods all year round. They hunt birds in all of the season, and use a variety of spotting scopes, binoculars, digital cameras, and most importantly with their ears.

Turkey hunters and birders have a lot in common. They are used to getting up early, and settling into a blind to wait, look and listen for a particular species of bird. Both groups study their prey, and they know the birdÕ s habits and their preferred habitats.

Similar to hunters, birders also use a variety of calls, recordings and even decoys in their efforts to lure a particular species of bird within range. While birders do not seek to consume their prey, they do take great pride in collecting verified sightings of any number of birds. In fact, birders are very competitive while on the hunt, and they actually participate in a variety of competitive birding events.

Audubon 32nd Annual World Series of Birding

Last weekend, over 70 teams of birders gathered in New Jer-

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. sey to participate in the 32nd annual World Series of Birding, which was hosted by New Jersey Audubon (NJA).

The World Series of Birding is an enjoyable, and highly competitive event for birding and nature enthusiasts. It is the equivalent of the Opening Day of Hunting season.

Birders work in teams, similar to a party of hunters, as they continue to scour the skies, lakes and woodlands for a full 24 hours (from midnight to midnight).

In their efforts to collect, and count as many bird species as they can identify by either sight or sound, within the state of New Jersey, birders will take to the woods and the wetlands.

They are also willing travel great distances if necessary in order to collect an unusual specimen, that is passing through on migration.

Each species that is seen or heard counts as one, and the event offers opportunities for birders of all levels of expertise, including local conservation groups, schools and youth birding teams that come together to share their unique interest.

The annual event includes four different levels of competition, and the first official World Series of Birding began at midnight on May 19, 1984, with only 13 teams in competition. Currently, several hundred birders participate in the event.

For further information, visit their website at www.worldseriesofbirding.org

The 2015 New York Loon Census

While participants in the World Series of Birding head off to fields, forests and the countryside to collect a variety of bird species, the annual New York Loon Census seeks only a single bird species.

While the New York Loon Census is centered exclusively on loons, it has now expanded the territory of the count to include all waters in New York state.

The 2015 New York Loon Census will be hosted on Saturday, July 18. The popular event is hosted on the 3rd Saturday of July every year from 8-9a.m. If you are interested in participating in the 2015 New York Loon Census, please contact WCSÕ Adirondack Program at accp@wcs.org to sign up. The Adirondack Wildlife Conservation Society will have the 2014 results of the 2014 Census, as well as information about the 2015 NY Loon Census posted to their websites, found at www.briloon.org/adkloon and www.wcsadirondacks.org.

ave you consider having a microchip implanted into your pet in the event he wanders off or gets lost?

Recently Harmony, a sweet young dog who arrived at our shelter as a stray, was returned to her anxious and distraught owner as a result of having a microchip.

The Petfinder website, petfinder.com/dogs/ lost-and-found-dogs/microchip-faqs/, provides information about the advantages of microchips, their cost and how they work.

Your veterinarian can implant the chip through an injection no more painful than a vaccination for around $45, which often includes registry in a pet recovery database.

If your pet arrives at a shelter, a simple scan will reveal the petÕ s ID number which can be accessed in the database, so your pet can be returned to you! Unlike a tag or collar, the microchip has an advantage that it is permanent and cannot be lost or removed.

Our featured pet this week is Trixie, an adorable, mixed-breed lady who has had a long,

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000 challenging road on her way to finding a forever home!

Trixie came to us five months ago after having been living outside on a chain for years. She had been infected with heartworm and underwent five months of an extremely difficult treatment regimen, involvTrixie ing lots of bedrest and careful observation.

Trixie has been recovering nicely and has only two more weeks of bedrest before she can be adopted. She has a sweet, friendly personality and has endured her recovery with a great attitude.

We know Trixie will make a terrific addition to whatever lucky family brings her home.
