SCHROON — Schroon Lake 2012 graduate Tiffany Messing is tapping her way to her dream.

Messing recently auditioned for the Rockette’s Summer Intensive program. While she didn’t make it, the experience has made her more determined than ever to become a Rockette.

The summer intensive program is not a prerequisite to becoming a member of the famed dancing group, but it’s an opportunity to train with them, “like a master class with a famous singer” and gain valuable experience, said the applicant.

The Schroon native started dancing at two when she began her training with Norma Strong.

At the age of 10, Tiffany went to the Rockette’s Christmas Spectacular show with her sister, fell in love and found her dream.

She said she’s learned throughout her life to “want to be the lead” but she’s always been drawn to the role of the chorus girl.

“You have this beautiful spectacle in front of you,” she said.

And you don’t have to worry about missing what the lead is doing because everyone is doing the same thing.”

A 10 percent general admissions discount will be given to active duty military members with proof of service.

Ti students clean the streets Student give back day in conjunction with beautification week

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — With a little elbow grease, a fresh coat of stain and some teamwork, Ticonderoga will be spring fresh in no time.

Ticonderoga Central School students spent Friday morning cleaning Montcalm Street as part of their Community Give Back Day. This year’s event was held in conjunction with the town’s first Beautification Week.

Both are longstanding events.

Under misty skies, roughly 125 students split into groups and together with their assigned teacher, they participated in

various projects downtown.

From the Monument to the park and along a few of the side streets, they did everything from general cleanup on the river trail to staining benches and stenciling trail markers on the side walks.

Students appeared to enjoy themselves.

Samantha Montville and Karlee Witherbee, a pair of two eighth graders who were applying stain to flower boxes, said they enjoyed giving back to their community.

Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matt Courtright said the organization has also been encouraging residents and businesses to spruce up their properties this week.

“As important as it is to clean up your house, it’s important to clean up the town,” Courtright said. “Everything we do to make things better for tourists, we’re also doing for our community.”

Spanish, French students celebrate National Foreign Language Week Ti High School transformed for National Foreign Language Week March 7 thru 11 TICONDEROGA — Spanish and French class students at Ticonderoga High School just completed the celebration of National Foreign Language Week; this year held the week of Monday, March 7 through March 11. Governor Andrew Cuomo has designated this week to recognize the importance of Foreign Language study in New York State.

French and Spanish class students began preparation by decorating the High School cafeteria with international flags from 13 different countries. Art students directed by teacher Brittney Shaw joined the weeklong event by designing posters that provide a visual representation of the theme. This year’s theme for Ticonderoga was, “Is it too late now, to learn a new language?”

Contest winners were Eryn Kidder, Colton Huestis, Rebecca Manning, Karyssa Alkinburgh, and Allison Bessett.

During the week of celebration, students and staff read the language week theme during daily announcements in five different languages, including, Chinese, Urdu, Spanish, French and Malagasy. The centerpiece of the week was a multicultural banquet with dishes from France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Greece and more. Following the banquet, a slide show presentation showcased language class students and activities and a Spanish language pop song recorded by students Emily Powers and Casey Raymond.

Following the banquet, ten teams of students participated in a volleyball tournament officiated by high school staff members Robert Sutphen, Jennee Iturrino, Alex Smith, Tina Russell, Kendra McCoy, Mike Iturrino and Danielle Palandrani.

The winning team in the double elimination tournament was team “Pink” which included Jarod Pike, Brett Mosier, Haleigh Wright, Delaney Hughes, Griffin Hughes, Ethan Thompson and Evan Graney.

I

think we can all agree that America is in a period of sharp and rapid change. The real question: is this change for the good or change for the sake of change?

Most change is gradual, providing time for discussion, reflection and adjustment.

Sadly in today’s fast-paced society, change and reaction may be coming faster than we can deal with and overloading an already overloaded system.

Several stories in the news this past week reflect the nation’s growing frustration with unexpected changes.

First, let’s take the folks at the TSA. Long wait times and poor performance testing in technology, procedures and human errors have pushed the flying public to the brink.

TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger recently admitted there are 5,000 fewer security screeners on the job today compared to just a few years ago. Roughly 117 walk off the job each week and 35 percent within the first year, Neffenger told Congress last week. With nearly three million passengers passing through TSA lines each day, they simply do not have the manpower.

Calls from both sides of the aisle calling for privatizing the TSA may force government to throw in the towel in yet another huge failing of a government program.

Another unexpected change thrown at school districts around the nation came last week when President Obama told administrators, as a condition of receiving federal funds, transgender students must be allowed to access facilities consistent with their gender identity.

While schools are permitted to provide single use facilities, they can not require transgender students to use them over male or female facilities, even if other students, parents or community members object.

While no specific numbers define how many students currently consider themselves to be transgender, it appears school districts with larger transgender populations have already been dealing with these issues. Other school districts, with little or no transgender students have installed single use facilities as a compromise for those students conflicted with gender.

Add these issues to the many issues already brewing in this year’s election cycle and there is no doubt we are in for a fierce battle between two candidates who have high unfavorables, forcing the electorate to choose between issues and personalities.

Lodge at Boreas Ponds should stay or be relocated to serve as a visitors center

D

ignitaries gathered last week in front of a pristine lake in North Hudson to announce what is anticipated to be the final in a series of large-scale acquisitions by the state, the 20,758-acre Boreas Ponds

Tract.

Frequently referred to as the “crown jewel” of the former Finch Pruyn land holdings, the Manhattan-sized tract in the High Peaks region contains an astonishing spread of ecological diversity, from alpine-type summits to lowland forest, all teeming with life.

Now that the ink is dry, the land classification process begins.

For the first time, North Hudson will gain an access point to the High Peaks Wilderness.

The discussion is sure to ignite what’s expected to be the latest in a long, grinding clash between advocates of access, who would like to see the lands remain opened up to motorized vehicles, and preservationists, who prefer to see as little human impact as possible.

Both sides have compelling arguments.

But no matter which side of the ideological spectrum you fancy, we strongly believe that the more user groups that have the opportunity to enjoy the land, the more positively it will impact not only the region, but the entire state.

That’s why it’s a shame that the sprawling lodge once used by timber executives will be torn down this spring.

Doing so, we think, is counterproductive.

Located seven miles from the hardtop, the lodge could serve a myriad of purposes.

As the population ages, the building could be used as a respite for sportsmen who are no longer able to climb mountain trails, wade through rivers and access back country ponds.

After all, the state has slammed the door on hundreds of hunting clubs that allowed motorized back country access to a generation who would not have been able to take advantage of it otherwise.

And we are all going to get old someday.

It could also serve as a home base for those who have never had a chance to experience that firsthand.

Other potential uses abound, from a possible education center to a sportsmen’s museum.

Last week, the Nature Conservancy announced they’d sweeten the transaction deal with $750,000 in grant money to promote economic development projects.

The organization should be commended for their largess, which is just the latest in a long string of generous financial contributions to the communities surrounding the vast tract of land holdings.

But we can’t help but think that those funds could be better used as seed money for a possible visitor center that will help disabled people who also want to take advantage of the serene natural setting.

After all, the gorgeous facility is already handicap accessible.

This is in line with a number of stakeholders who have said they want to make the Adirondack Park more diverse and accessible to as many user groups as possible.

We concede little will save the lodge from the wrecking ball.

We’ve been told local officials are hashing out a possible plan for the former Frontier Town site with state brass.

So here’s an idea: Disassemble the building piece-by-piece and reconstruct it elsewhere, say, off Exit 29 of the Adirondack Northway, where it can serve as a link to the past and greet those who visit in the future.

Brand it as a testament to compromise. In a state so divisive, that’s something everyone should enjoy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AÊ safetyÊ tipÊ forÊ roadÊ crews

ResponseÊ toÊ MedicaidÊ taxiÊ editorial

To the Editor: While on my morning commute across Route 74 this week, I have noticed several times an unsafe practice by road crews.

While putting signs out warning oncoming traffic of road work ahead, the crews park their vehicle in their lane of traffic while they all get out to set up a sign.

While I totally understand the need for warning signs and value their importance in the safety of drivers and workers alike, the practice of leaving their vehicle in the roadway while they set the signs up seems unsafe.

Flashing lights on or not, it could become a deadly situation very quickly.

The situation could have been much safer if they had just pulled ahead another 50 feet and pulled off into a driveway to get their signs ready.

Today, there was a loaded pulp truck ahead of me, and one unloaded oncoming at the point that they were parked in the road with several vehicles following closely behind.

With so many distracted drivers in today’s society, I think taking all precautions available seems not like a smart idea, but one that must be done every time.

To all road crews and construction workers: Please help all people on the roads become safer by pulling off to the side of the road during these times. It may save my life or yours.

John Swinton Schroon Lake

To the Editor: So, what is the source of the Medicaid taxi problem that Essex County is forced to deal with.

Barron’s financial publication compares the increase in Medicaid services to a three-card Monte game at the state and federal level with the taxpayers as the suckers.

Here’s how it works.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his NYS Dept. of Health create an enhanced transportation structure for Medicaid folks by using taxi’s. The taxi structure then pays the State taxes and fees. The state then uses the money from the taxes and fees to create additional Medicaid services. The new taxi providers are happy to pay the taxes and fees because they are guaranteed payment from the state. The Fed then happily reimburses all of it since they also want more services for Medicaid and Medicare to accommodate the Obamacare wealth redistribution objectives.

Nifty huh!

Obamacare was packaged and gifted to you though lies and deceit, not unlike the Iranian nuke deal. Both have cost an enormous amount of nonbudgeted tax dollars which has helped Obama double your national debt.

Over the next couple of years, health costs will be transferred more directly to you and you will be paying, as they say in the old country, up the yin yang.

Unless you are among those who get it for free, such as illegal aliens. The insurance companies are dropping out of health care so eventually a massive central government will control it all, probably as efficiently as they control the Veterans Administration.

When Obama told you he was going to change America he wasn’t kidding. Cuomo uses the same playbook. Their progressive social justice agenda is expensive, but they don’t concern themselves with how to pay for it.

Clinton and Sanders are promising more social justice. Free college, plus transfer $1 trillion of existing student debt to you. I trust you no longer believe that fairy tale about Wall St. paying for everything. It’s a pretty old story with little result.

Ken Fenimore Elizabethtown

NursingÊ programÊ anÊ assetÊ Ê To the Editor: I am pleased with your piece about the nursing program at SUNY Adirondack in the May 7 edition of the Sun. I attended the nursing program at Plattsburgh way back in 1962. After three semesters, I left and was accepted into the nursing program at ACC. I remember even then that the instructors advised us to continue with our education and obtain a BSN. I graduated in 1966 while working part time for Dr. Richard Hogan and then worked at Glens Falls Hospital as an RN for a time until moving to North Carolina.

When our family returned to the North Country, I started working as a Community Mental Health Nurse, a job that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am now retired. I occasionally see nursing students studying at Panara Bread and stop to chat, telling my tale and trying to encourage them.

I met my husband at ACC, one of our sons graduated from ACC and now a grandson has signed up for the Cisco program. Having a community college in our area is an asset and one that I hope will continue successfully long into the future.

It’s interesting to me that now SUNY Plattsburgh offers classes for a BSN. I have two granddaughters who want to pursue careers in the health care field and are thinking of colleges out of the area. I sincerely hope they will consider SUNY Adirondack first.

Why is the county still on the hook for this property when it could have been sold a few years ago?

Butcher shop raid reveals nearly two tons of illegal venison Alleged mastermind known as “The Deer Man” charged with numerous felonies

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

EDMESTON, OTSEGO COUNTY — In a scene that appears to confirm every backwoods stereotype imaginable, state officials busted a downstate operation for illegally selling two tons venison at a local butcher shop.

Following a two-year investigation, state Department of Conservation officials executed a search warrant at a butcher shop called Farmers Place, where they found more than 3,600 pounds of illegal venison meat and products.

Owner Joseph Leonard was known around town as “The Deer Man.” Leonard, 73, was arrested and charged with a number of crimes after he allegedly sold illegal venison products to undercover investigators.

Leonard’s charges include felony illegal commercialization of wildlife, felony grand larceny, criminal solicitation fourth degree and felony illegal scheme to defraud, first degree.

Manager Tamra Hoag, 57, was also arrested and charged with illegal commercialization of wildlife and illegal scheme to defraud, first degree.

It is illegal to sell white-tailed deer meat and deer parts in New York State.

Both Leonard and Hoag were arraigned in the Town of Edmeston criminal court last week and are due back in court on June 6.

Farmers Place was a member of a group called the Venison Donation Coalition Inc., a sportsmans organization that “transforms a renewable natural resource into nutritious food for those less fortunate and in need.”

The business also operated a food truck, according to their Facebook page.

Authorities are keeping mum on the details.

“The investigation into Farmers Place is still underway and more details will be forthcoming,” a DEC spokesman told the Sun. Edmeston is located about 40 minutes south of Utica.

COMMENTARY

Little Bits A drink called “switchel” Gordie Little

Columnist

M

y father was a poor preacher who was often compensated in fresh vegetables by his rural congregation. We ate well, but had little cash on hand.

If my brother and I wanted a baseball glove or balsa wood airplane, we had to earn it somehow. I seem to recall fifty cents an hour as the going wage until I was a teenager and could do the work of a man in the fields.

I mowed lawns for a skinflint.

He has long been deceased, so there is no threat of retaliation.

He owned a gas-powered mower, but it languished in his barn while I was forced to struggle with an old-fashioned reel-type push mower.

I was never given a drink to quench my thirst and always guzzled down lots of water before he picked me up for the day’s work. Besides lawn mowing, I was tasked with cleaning rat droppings from his granary. I was also given gunny sacks and sent into his pastures to pull up bags and bags of invasive weeds.

Those were lessons learned the hard way. As the years went on, I began seasonal work on another farm where I was proud to become as physically strong as the adult farm hands. I was paid to work beside them in the hay fields and stooking grain as well as carrying heavy bags of oats to the granary.

It was thirsty business and the womenfolk made sure all the hired help had plenty of satiating liquids. For years as an older adult, I struggled to remember what they called an odd, but satisfying liquid that was brought to us in the fields.

Then, it came to me. Switchel.

That’s what it was. Have you ever heard of it? It was also referred to as haymaker’s punch or ginger-water. I scoured the Internet and discovered the recipe ingredients: Vinegar and water, ginger, along with maple syrup, molasses, honey or brown sugar.

Sometimes, lemon was added to the mix.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. It worked for us on hot days under the blazing sun and in the stifling hay mows. I didn’t know it before researching for this column, but have learned that this wonderful beverage is now being bottled and sold nationwide.

Laura Ingalls Wilder, wellknown to us in the North Country for “Little House on the Prairie” and for the homestead near Malone, wrote about a similar drink made for the farm workers while haying.

I found various beverages marketed as switchel in New York State, Vermont and other states. There are also alcoholic versions with ale and stout that I have never tried but would consider it in the future.

If the word switchel is foreign to you, ask an old farmer. And while you’re at it, have him tell you more stories of days gone by.

Free walking tours to highlight the architecture of Ti Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) tours to show why “ADK Places Matter”

KEESEVILLE — Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH), the historic preservation organization for the Adirondack region, will host a series of walking tours this spring in three communities with unique architecture. Free and open to the public, the tours will take place in Ticonderoga Saturday, May 21, and at Clinton Community College at Bluff Point Saturday, June 4.

Participants will join local experts and historians in exploring the distinct styles, materials and building designs, and the fascinating history of these very different Adirondack places. “The tours will allow residents and visitors to see the beauty and craftsmanship that are a hallmark of the historic architecture of the region,” said AARCH program director Karyn Norwood. “One of the best ways to un-

derstand why places are worth preserving is to walk around and see what’s in your own community.”

The Saturday, May 21 tour of Ticonderoga will focus on its historic districts, commercial buildings and late 19thcentury architecture in a tour called, “Ticonderoga: The Town that Moses Built.”

The free tour will begin at the Hancock House Museum, 6 Moses Circle, at 10 a.m. The tour is co-sponsored by the Ticonderoga Historical Society.

The final tour on Saturday, June 4 will discover the history and architecture of the buildings on Bluff Point, one of the most scenic spots on Lake Champlain. This tour, “Bluff Point: From Hotel Champlain to Clinton Community College,” is a unique opportunity to view the adaptive public reuse of the former grand resort built in the early 20th century. This free tour will begin at the entrance to the college’s main building, 136 Clinton Point Drive, at 10 a.m.

For more information, visit aarch.org/ tours or call 834-9328.

State, feds roll out new proposals to fight heroin

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Movement is underway across a variety of fronts as state, federal and local officials continue their fight against opiate abuse.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week announced the launch of a statewide task force charged with combatting the scourge, which he called one of the state’s most pressing concerns.

The group, consisting of a coalition of healthcare, drug policy and education experts alongside parents and former addicts, has been tasked with holding a series of public listening sessions across the state.

A comprehensive action plan will follow.

“It is a statewide crisis,” Cuomo told reporters in North Hudson last week.

“The number of young people, middle-aged people who are literally losing, or dying, is frightening.”

Dates and locations for the sessions are scheduled to be rolled out soon, according to the governor’s office.

At the national level, the U.S. House of Representatives passed several bills last week that would boost financial resources to local, state and federal agencies.

Among them was the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act of 2016, which Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) called a

“significant achievement.”

This bipartisan legislation will address the “four corners” of addiction: prevention, treatment, recovery and law enforcement, Stefanik said.

The bill authorizes the appropriation of $103 million in grant funding annually over the next five years.

States and local municipalities will be given the flexibility to attack issues unique to their communities through a streamlined grant program that encompasses a variety of new and existing programs.

Included are funds for expanded prevention and education efforts to prevent abuse, increased resources

for law enforcement and first responders and additional resources for drug courts, veterans’ treatment courts and other diversion programs.

Ahead of last week’s vote, Stefanik toured New York’s 21st Congressional District and met with those on the frontlines, including veterans who had become dependant on pain medication following injuries sustained in service.

Stefanik recounted a discussion with a wounded veteran at a roundtable discussion at St. Joseph’s Treatment Center who said he wouldn’t be alive without the support offered by the Saranac Lakebased agency.

The bill also includes resources for veterans struggling to reintegrate into society while also battling addiction, Stefanik said.

“So that conversation had stayed with me and was a driving fact why we’ve needed to get this through Congress,” Stefanik told the Sun. “This is legislation we should be proud of — and I am proud of.”

Similar legislation will need to clear the Senate before making its way to the president’s desk.

Addiction to opioids has increased at a steady rate in the past decade.

Over 40,000 Americans died from a drug overdose in 2013. Nearly 2 million

Americans were addicted to opioid-based prescription painkillers, and over 500,000 were addicted to heroin.

“This is a harrowing statistic, as four in five new heroin users start after misusing prescription drugs and opioid overdoses killed more than 2,000 New Yorkers in 2011 — double the number who died in 2004,” wrote Stefanik in a Medium post.

While the freshman lawmaker stopped short of saying pharmaceutical companies should be directly held accountable for their role in the epidemic, Stefanik said they needed to be “part of the conservation” alongside other medical industry professionals and other stakeholders.

A number of federal and state policies have been instituted to curb abuse in recent years, including oxycodone reformulations that has made it harder to abuse the drug, a new prescription monitoring program in New York State and increased access to the overdose antidote naloxone.

At the local level, the Essex County Heroin and Opioid Prevention Coalition, or ECHO, is scheduled to meet on Friday in Elizabethtown.

“The issue of opiate addiction in Essex County gets larger every single day,” wrote Doug Meyer, of the Essex County Mental Health

Association on materials advertising the meeting. “Rarely does a day go by when one of my care coordinators isn’t confronted with a consumer with an opiate issue.”

he month of April was steady as we responded to 13 emergencies including; Fires (three) (building, forest and barbecue grill), Motor Vehicle Accidents (four), EMS Assists (two) and Other General Alarms (four).

Our membership totaled 254.7 Man Hours for all emergencies with an average response time of 2.3 minutes and an average time from call to on scene of 4.4 minutes. In addition to responding to the emergencies we conducted five training drills that included 163 Man Hours.

In addition to responding to emergencies and our weekly training we also were busy with several other activities. We participated in the Grand Re-Opening of our Fire Museum which will be open on Sunday, Monday and Thursday each week for the general public to come in and check us out. We also participated in the Recruit NY weekend in which we held an open house and conducted a Jaws Extrication Demonstration and then finished up with a Super Bingo fund raiser in which we had over 100 people.

As always we are looking for new members and applications can be obtained on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7 p.m., or contact any member for more information. Since the weather is finally warming up we will see an increase in barbecuing and with that we would like to remind people to keep their grills clean and do not leave them unattended when using them, they should be kept away off decks and a safe distance from buildings.

Dollar General building deemed unsalvageable Retail chain evaluating options for opening in new location, says company spokesman

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — The Dollar General store set on fire by an alleged disgruntled employee has been deemed as unsalvageable by corporate headquarters.

“The building is a total loss,” said Dan MacDonald, senior director of corporate communications.

MacDonald said the company is weighing their options following the May 10 fire allegedly set by Lisa M. Demar, one of two employees who had closed the store earlier that evening.

Dollar General typically does not own the property onto which it builds its stores, MacDonald said, but instead leases it.

According to Essex County tax records, the Port Henry parcel is registered to a foreign limited liability company called Port Henry LLC, which is based in Souderton, Pennsylvania.

MacDonald said it’s possible the retail chain will secure another parcel of land in the community and construct a new building.

“Our intention is to continue to serve the community,” MacDonald said. “We’re certainly going to pursue the idea of building a new store.”

The Port Henry location opened in 2008 and was due to be remodeled next month, MacDonald said.

“We felt like we had a very good customer base in Port Henry and we felt like it was a very successful store,” Mac-

Donald said.

Eight employees have been reassigned to the Keeseville, Plattsburgh and Schroon Lake locations.

MacDonald acknowledged commuting posed a hardship.

Employees, he said, are being offered mileage reimbursement and the store is encouraging carpooling.

The spokesperson declined to give a dollar amount on the damages, as well as speculate on Demar’s possible motivations and employment history with the company.

Demar has been charged with second degree arson and first degree reckless endangerment, both felonies.

Demar, who waived a preliminary hearing last week, has been formally terminated.

She remains at the Essex County Jail.

The former business has been boarded up with a chain link fence surrounding the structure. No overt damage is visible.

Dollar General operates 12,500 locations across the United States.

Following last week’s blaze, the Dollar General in Port Henry has been deemed a total loss by corporate headquarters. The retail chain is evaluating their options for moving forward, said a company spokesman.

The Moriah Central School Drama Club plans to reveal all at their presentation of “Camp Twilight,” starting Friday, May 20, at 7 p.m. and continuing with performances at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22.

“It’s a summer camp for teens which turns into a mystery,” said sophomore Sophie Bryant (Lorraine Lupine), who is in her third production at the school.

“There are all kinds of mythical creatures running around the camp. This is a fun group and it has been a fun time collaborating with all of them.”

MORIAH

Special Olympics Torch Run to make its way through Moriah Moriah Shock employees to carry torch in annual event May 25

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

MINEVILLE — For the third year, employees at the Moriah Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility will run to help the Special Olympics program.

The Annual Special Olympics Torch Run will take place Wednesday, May 25, with runners from the facility traversing several miles from the jail in Mineville to downtown Port Henry.

Christina Slattery, who has been involved with the Torch Run since 2001, helped to bring a run to the facility in 2014.

“The jail is a form of law enforcement so they had been doing this well before I started working here,” Slattery said. “I thought by adding our own leg to the run in 2014 that we could raise more money for the athletes who participate in Special Olympics.”

Along with employees, the day will also be filled with those who will be competing at the games. A pair of students, Todd and Dakota, will join the runners at Moriah Central School as fellow students and staff cheer on the event.

North Adirondack Regional Envirothon bring area schools to Paul Smiths College PAUL SMITHS — The North Adirondack Regional Envirothon (NARE) will be held Thursday, May 12, at Paul Smith’s College, bringing teams from local schools to compete for a chance to represent their County at the Hobart William Smith College in Geneva. The NARE program brings schools from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties together to compete for the opportunity to participate in the New York State Envirothon.

The Envirothon involves teams of five students from each school in understanding environmental stewardship and protection. The environmental knowledge is gained through a competition based on the subjects of forestry, soils, aquatics, wildlife and current issues. The current issue for 2016 is invasive species. The students are required to answer questions and demonstrate hands on application of these topics.

The program is put together by the local Soil and Water Conservation Districts from Clinton, Essex, Franklin and St.

The course will end at Mountain Lakes Services Day Treatment Center, where the crew will be joined by more local athletes who are preparing for the games.

The route for the run will start at the Moriah SICF and head to Fisher Hill Road, Center Road (where members of Mountain Lakes Services will cheer on the runners), Trabell Hill Road to the school, then into the village where it will end at the Day Treatment Center (behind Mac’s).

The Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Runis the largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness campaign for the event. Annually, more than 85,000 volunteer law enforcement officers participate in the torch run throughout the country, raising more than $51 million for local Special Olympics programs in 2014 and over $560 Million since its inception in 1981.

Special Olympics Torch Runs locally The Moriah Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility annual Torch Run is one of many taking place in the North Country region annually to benefit the Special Olympics program.

SCHROON

Stephen DiCerbo (“Master Mutsugoroh”) creates an indirect print portrait of a salmon. DiCerbo teaches the art of Gyotaku- Japanese fish printing.

Japanese fish printing Local artist gives workshops in Gyotaku printmaking

By Mikaela Foster

mikaela@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH HUDSON — Instead of taking the catch of the day to a taxidermist, anglers can learn the art of Japanese fish printing and immortalize a fish with ink on paper or fabric.

Local artist (and angler) Stephen Dicerbo of Stormtree Studio, also known as Master Mutsugoroh, teaches the art of gyotaku, or Japanese fish printing.

The art form involves using a real fish to make ink printed images. With his “interests at heart” being wildlife, art and illustration, gyotaku combines the artist’s passion for art and fishing.

This practice, Dicerbo said, dates back to 1860 in Japan and was not originally intended to be art.

Roughly translated, the artist said gyotaku means “fish stone rubbing” and was a way for a fisherman to record and prove his catch. Over the years, it evolved into an art form, which then branched off into two styles: direct and indirect.

The difference is in the ink application.

With the direct style, the ink goes directly on the fish to make a print and can be a quick process to make a large amount of prints.

For the indirect style, which works well for fine-scaled fish, material is adhered to the fish and the ink is applied to the material, capturing intricate details of the fish. This process, Dicerbo said, is “very meticulous” and is an “exercise in minimalism.”

“You can sit their for hours,” he said. “You can spend an entire day or two days on one image.”

Dicerbo said he has been an artist since he was a child, when he started drawing and never stopped. He earned and Associate of Science degree in Fish and Wildlife Technology in the 1980s, and years later, a Bachelor of Science in Science Illustration.

The artist also practices natural science illustration, fine art and printmaking and specializes in Ichthyologic subject matter.

Dicerbo has traveled to Japan and studied with a Master Gyotaku Printmaker, Sensai Yamamoto, with whom he studied with for over a decade before being “honored with the title of master” and receiving a Japanese artist’s name.

Mutsugoroh, his artist name, means “Japanese Blue Spotted Mudskipper,” which is his sensai’s favorite fish.

The artist will offer a workshop every month this summer, with the first one starting Memorial Day. For more information, find Storm Tree Studio on Facebook.

CROWN POINT

Crown Point SADD chapter hosts Lock-in Event helps teach youth the dangers of ‘destructive decision making’

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT — Youth in the Students Against Destructive Decisions recently held an event to provide alternative activities to destructive decision making through a LockIn. “We wanted to provide students with choices which were engaging that did not involve drugs or alcohol,” said SADD advisor Jacqueline Pockett. “This is my third year as the advisor and it is a wonderful group of students. We work together not only planning the lock-in, but pooling ideas, fundraising, writing grants, putting informational posters around the school building and doing whatever we can to make a difference.”

The event began with a Grim Reaper Day at school, where members of the SADD chapter were picked out of classes by the Reaper, with each wearing a different reason why they were “killed.”

“I was texting while driving and drove off the road into a tree. I was killed instantly when I was impaled by a tree branch,” said one.

Another said: “Driving home from school with my BFF I decided to take a selfie. I only took my eyes off the road for a split second.

That was long enough. I swerved into oncoming traffic and was hit head on by another vehicle. I was pronounced dead at the scene. So was my best friend.”

“Some were innocent victims while others made the destructive decisions themselves,” Pockett said. “These students were taken from class by the Grim Reaper and were returned with the stipulation they no longer existed. They were gone in an instant. Death certificates were placed on their lockers.”

Pockett said the students did their homework when it came to the presentation.

“The students researched distracted driving decisions and came up with a trivia hunt which was completed during the lock-in,” she said. “Students gained a heightened aware-

ness regarding how their destructive decisions can be life altering. It takes just a moment of distraction to result in a tragedy. With just one poor decision, lives are changed forever.”

Some of the points emphasized by the group included: • About 1.2 million car crashes in 2013 involved drivers talking on the phone, according to the National Safety Council, and at least 341,000 involved text messaging.

• The average text takes your eyes off the road for nearly five seconds?

At highway speeds, that is enough time to travel the length of a football field.

• More than a third of young adults say they have been involved in a near-crash because of their own or someone else’s distracted driving.

After the presentation in the school, students enjoyed a trip to the Fun Spot in Lake George, where they were involved in a number of Members of the Crown Point SADD chapter line the wall with the Grim Reaper after being taken out of class. Each student activities before returning to school wears a sign which tells how they were “killed” due to destructive decision making. and ending the lock-in at 6 a.m. the Photo provided next morning.

Unified basketball comes to Section VII Ti Program provides opportunity for students to get into the game

TICONDEROGA — You can still hear the thud of the basketball on the court at Ticonderoga High School.

A group of 15 youth — boys and girls — have come together to form the first-ever unified basketball program in Section VII, and the school hopes it will be something that catches on.

“The unified program is a mixture of special education and regular education students who don’t often get the chance to play sports or to be on a team,” coach Alexandra Smith said. “We hope this season will start to generThe Ticonderoga Unified Basketball team took to the court this season, becoming the first school in Section VII ate interest in more Section VII schools.” to have a unified program.

Organizers hope when the season ends, they will have something to bring to the rest of the section.

“There are several schools I could see getting involved in this,” Sutphen said. “Once they see the success it generates and just how good the program is, I think we will see more local teams from throughout the section.”

Local athletes named to NYSSWA All State basketball teams Boys

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Nine boys and 13 girls have been named to the New York State Sportswriter’s Association All State Basketball teams for the 2015-16 seasons. The teams are highlighted by a pair of state finalists in the Moriah Vikings boys team, along with duo’s from Warrensburg and Lake George on the lady’s side.

Girls

The top players from the biggest rivalry of the CVAC season made it onto the Class B All-State teams, as junior center Kayla Carder of Northeastern Clinton and junior guard Kenna Guynup of Beekmantown were named to the sixth and eighth teams, respectively.

Carder, a first team CVAC All-Star, reached the 1,000-point mark in the Class B playoffs, helping to lead the Lady Cougars to the Section VII championship after splitting the two regular season games between the Cougars and Eagles.

Guynup, who also was a first team CVAC All-Star, helped to lead the Eagles to the Section VII champoinship game.

In Class C, Warrensburg’s senior guard Erin Langworthy, a multi-MVP in the Adirondack League, was named to the first team in Class C. It was the third year Langworthy has been named to the first team, having earned the honors in Class D for the 2014-15 and 2013-14 seasons. In 2012-13, Langworthy was a member of the Class D seventh team.

Northern Adirondack guard Taylor Durnin passed the 1,000-point plateau and took her team to the Class C state semifinals for the second year in a row (the Bobcats lost in the state title game last season), earning third team honors for 2015-16. Durnin was named to the Class C fifth team a year ago.

MacKenzie and Graceann Bennett were named to the seventh and ninth teams for the Lake George Lady Warriors in Class C. McKenzie scored 376 points in her senior season, finishing with a career total of 1,069 points. She also averaged seven rebounds and three steals per game.

Graceann, meanwhile, came onto the scene in her freshman campaign, scoring 395 points while averaging 11 rebounds per game. Through her first two seasons as a varsity player, Graceann has 580 points to her name.

Class C honorable mention players included Madison McCabe, the AuSable Valley swing guard who scored 401

points in her junior season, leaving her 121 points shy of the 1,000-career point plateau.

Senior Forward Hailey Moore of Seton Catholic was also named to an to the Class C honorable mention as the perfect rebounding complement to a strong interior game for the Knights.

Warrensburg junior Britany Frasier also was named to the Class C honorable mention list.

In Class D, Keene junior point guard Hanna Whitney was named to the second team after helping lead her team to the Section VII finals. Whitney scored 414 points this season, hitting 33 from long range. Whitney heads into her senior season with 1,169 points and 95 three pointers made.

Madasyn Bush, a junior at North Warren, was named to the Class D sixth team, leading the Cougars to a 13-8 regular season record and a third place finish in the Adirondack League.

Minerva/Newcomb junior guard Jordan Bush was named to the Class D seventh team, leading the Mountaineers in a very competitive Division II of the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference and earning MVP honors for the division.

Keene junior forward Elaina Smith made the seventh team in Class D, as the inside scoring threat for the Beavers also surpassed the 1,000-point career mark with 371 points on the season, heading into her senior year 98 points shy of her teammate (1.018).

It was an all Section VII list on the All State boys basketball teams, with Northeastern Clinton senior Melik McLeod earning 10th team honors in Class B. McLeod led the Cougars into the Class B state tournament, averaging 19.8 points for the season.

In Class C, 1,000-point scorer Josh Juntunen was named to the seventh team. The junior guard averaged 21.3 points over the season, helping lead Hall the Bobcats to the Class C championship game.

The Class C championship went to the AuSable Valley Patriots, who were led by junior forward Kobe Parrow, who average 16.7 points-per-game but saved his biggest moments for the playoffs, helping lead the Patriots to the Class C final four, falling to the “Class C” champion Middle College.

Northern Adirondack bigman Stephen Peryea was named to the honorable mention list in Class C, having several games where he would dominate in the scoring and rebounding columns.

In Class D, the decision of NY Mills guard Terry Nichols as Player of the Year may have many in Section VII scratching their head as Moriah senior center Adam Jaquish, who soundly defeated Mills, was placed behind him as a member of the first team. Jaquish finished his career with the rare double-quadruple, scoring over 1,000 points while grabbing over 1,000 rebounds. His 1,609 points are the most all-time for the Vikings and second all-time in Section VII. Senior swingman Taylor Slattery made the second team for the Vikings, finishing with 937 career points, also playing some of his biggest moments for the Civic Center and playoffs, scoring 222 points as the Vikings had a 15-3 playoff record over the past three seasons.

A pair of shooters were named to the honorable mention list in Class D, including 1,000-point scorer in Westport senior Anderson Gay, along with Schroon Lake junior shooting guard Branden Hall.

Golf The Sentinels were unable to come away with a point in a 6-0 loss against AuSable Valley May 13. Joel Cook had the low round of the day for the Sentinels with a 46, while Connor Lauzon shot a 48.

Softball The Lady Sentinels scored nine times in the third inning to pull away for a 16-1 win over Lake Placid May 12, clinching the CVAC regular season title. Savannah Bezon powered the team with a single, double and triple, while Brittany Bruce had a trio of hits, including two doubles; Carley Campney had three hits with a double, Hannah Ross two hits, Kristen Palandrani a pair of doubles and Avery Alkinburgh a double. Ross struck out 10 in five innings to earn the win.

Baseball The Sentinels got a clutch hit from Michael DuShane to score a 5-4 win over rival Moriah May 12. DuShane drove in a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to make a winner out of Caleb Munson, who came on in relief of starter Brody Rocque in the sixth inning.

Boys track and field The Sentinels were on the wrong side of a 76-55 meet against Saranac Lake May 12. Colvin Chapman scored wins in the 110 hurdles and 400 hurdles, while Griffin Hughes scored a win in the 200 and 400 relay with Justyn Granger, Dillon Crowe and Ty Schlogl. Collin Bressett won in the high and triple jumps, while Brandon Romaca won the long jump.

A proposition to purchase a 65-passenger bus for $123,000 passed 218-76.

Dancer << Continued from | p. 1

Messing said she’s taken lessons in several different dance forms like tap, ballet, jazz and acrobatics but tap has always been her “number one.”

“When you’re young you just like to make noise,” she said. “My family has always been loud, so I got enjoyment out of that.”

But for the most part, she said she loves the “rhythm and the freedom of [tap]” and is greatly inspired by Fred Astaire, especially one of his famous quotes that she said “completely describes her.”

“I have no desire to prove anything by dancing,” Astaire said. “I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself.

I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around.”

With her love and passion for dancing, Tiffany went off to college to Long Island University and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre.

“You just have to find something you are so in love with that you don’t use it for anything else,” she said.

Messing said her parents had encouraged her a while back to audition for the program, and they all “got really nervous.” But when she made the decision to do it, she didn’t tell them.

“I wanted to remember why I fell in love with it,” she said. She wanted to do it for herself and not for anyone else.

The day of the audition was “the longest day of [her] life,” starting at 4:30 a.m., with her aunt doing her hair.

WARRENSBURG — With only two games to go in the 2016 season, the newly-merged Bolton-Schroon Lake baseball team is cruising towards a conference championship and anticipating a strong sectional tournament campaign.

Coach Mark Andrejkovics said that the merger of the two teams that began this year had been remarkably successful.

“For the first year of merger, we have quite the rapport between the two schools,” he said, noting that the merger not only has expanded the roster of talent, but has provided “consistency in the field” and deepened the pitching staff.

The pitching lineup features Daniel Malone, a senior who has pitched complete games so far, and is 5-1 overall. He is backed up by Derek DeZalia who has a record of 2-1 , and Branden Hall who has tallied two wins.

Malone has a mixture of pitches, but his most prominent strength is consistency, Andrejkovics said.

“Malone is a double-ticket strikeout pitcher who has very few walks,” the coach said, noting that the four-year pitcher regularly manages 10 strikeouts per game.

Also notable on defense is a strong lineup in outfield — Brandon Hall, Michael Smith and Jacob Beebe, Andrejkovics said, noting these three don’t let balls get past them.

“Our pitching combined with our outfield limits the opportunities of the opposing team,” he said.

Offensively, the Bolton-Schroon Lake Squad is also quite strong, Andrejkovics said.

“We’re getting production from the top of the order to the bottom,” he said.

Catcher Garrison Villeneuve, a junior, is leading his team in extra base hits and RBIs, as well as executing savvy defense behind the plate, the coach said.

Ticonderoga Central

She recalled the day as if it were yesterday, noting specific details and times.

“It was so scary and I loved every second of it.”

Once it was over, she called her parents.

“We were just sitting in the living room,” Lori Messing, her mother, said about the phone call. “My jaw dropped... we were just ecstatic and we didn’t have to push her to do it.”

Lori said they had told Tiffany in the past that she needed to escape her comfort zone.

And she did.

Tiffany said she heard back about a month ago that she didn’t make it in. But it was the first step to “a dream come true.”

“We were taught in college, you can get one yes for every 99 nos,” she said. “But one day I will hear a ‘yes’ and I’m completely positive that will be my future.”

With her degree background, she said she wants to audition for live theatre, but she plans to continue auditioning for the summer program and for the Rockette’s.

“My goal is definitely Radio City,” she said.

“Garrison’s got quite the arm,” he said.

Also recording plenty of hits are Branden Hall and Richard DeMeo who are at the top of the lineup. Andrejkovics said Hall and DeMeo consistently get hits, steal bases, and score runs.

Also productive on offense are Chris Barror, Jacob Beebe, and Corey Van Auken — who have been providing a lot of runs throughout the season, the coach said.

“Our numbers on the board are regularly in double digits,” he said. “We’ve been getting a lot of offensive production from all our players.”

Preliminary Section VII tournament games start on May 18, and the quarterfinals are scheduled two days later. Seedings for the tournament are to be announced May 17.

“We expect our team to do well in the sectionals,” Andrejkovics said. “Our players remain focused — they know that on any day they could be beaten, so they are working hard.”

He said that his players are determined to go far in the tournament.

“Our players have high expectations, but they’re not taking anything for granted,” he concluded.

The $20.1 million budget passed 304-116.

School board results: Mark Russell, 349; Tracey Cross-Baker, 309; Marissa Palandrani, 324.

Tax levy increase: 1.14 percent.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc. LEGALS ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2015 VILLAGE OF PORT HENRY 4303 Main Street, Port Henry, NY 12974 (Public Water Supply ID# 1500290) Introduction To comply with State and Federal regulations, we will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. This report provides an overview of last years water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Mr. Chip Perry, Water Operator, at (518) 5468698. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled village board meetings.

The meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the village hall at 4303 Main Street, Port Henry.

Where does our water come from?

In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

The State Health Departments and the FDAs regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

The source of water for the village is Pilfershire Brook, also known as Bartlett Brook. Raw water is collected at an impoundment dam and intake structure located off of Cheney Road approximately two miles northwest of the village. Raw water flows by gravity from the intake structure via a ten-inch transmission main for approximately 8,650-feet to the water filtration plant.

The water filtration plant is located off of Storm Road to the west of the village border. Raw water flows by gravity to the treatment building where it is filtered via two continuous backwash upflow filters. The water is disinfected using sodium hypochlorite solution. A corrosion control chemical (zinc orthophosphate) is also added to control the levels of lead and copper in the finished water. The finished water is discharged to a 700,000gallon concrete storage reservoir. Finished water flows by gravity to the distribution system via 1,400-feet of 10-inch transmission main.

Are there contaminants in our drinking water?

As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for

y numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently.

Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old.

It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791) or the New York State Health Department at (518) 891-1800.

Notes: 1 - Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of our water. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system.

Our single highest measurement for the year occurred on 9/8/15 (0.5 NTU). The regulations require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected in a month have measurements below 0.3 NTU. 2 - The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the 10 sites tested. A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 10 samples were collected from your water system and the 90th percentile value was the second highest value.

The range of copper levels measured was 0.035 0.39 mg/L. The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested during 2014.

3 - The level presented represents the 90th percentile of the 10 sites tested. A percentile is a value on a scale of 100 that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to or below it. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 10 samples were collected from your water system and the 90th percentile value was the second highest value.

The range of lead levels measured was ND 92.0 ug/L. The action level for lead was exceeded at one of the sites tested during 2014.

4 - The value represents the highest Locational Running Annual Average of the 4 most recent quarterly samples collected last year.

5 - The values represent the range of the quarterly samples collected last year.

Definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

What does this information mean?

As you can see by the table, our system had no violations.

We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State.

Is our water system meeting other rules that govern operations?

Last year, our system was in general compliance with applicable State drinking water operating, monitoring and reporting requirements.

Source Water Assessment Summary The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information. This assessment found no noteworthy risks to source water quality. It should be noted that surface waters in general are highly sensitive to phosphorus and microbial contaminants.

The health department will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning, and education programs. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting us as noted below.

Do I Need to Take Special Precautions?

Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population.

Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.

These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Port Henry is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Why Save Water and How to Avoid Wasting It? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of

reasons why it is important to conserve water: Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life; Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met.

You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity.

Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.

Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day.

Fix it up and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year.

Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks.

Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year.

Closing Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children's future. Please call our office if you have questions.

TT-05/21/2016-1TC118863 ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2015 TOWN OF TICONDEROGA WATER DISTRICT P.O.BOX 471 TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK 12883 (Public Water Supply ID NY1500293) INTRODUCTION To comply with State and Federal regulations, we will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. This report provides an overview of last years water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you

y have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Mr. Derrick Fleury, Water Operator at (518) 585-6144. We want you to be informed about your drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled town board meetings.

The meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the town hall at 117 East Montcalm Street, Ticonderoga.

WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

The State Health Departments and the FDAs regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

The Town of Ticonderoga water system has two interconnected sources of water, Gooseneck Pond and Lake George.

The Gooseneck Pond source is located approximately nine miles west of the former Village of Ticonderoga.

Water flows by gravity via a 14 transmission main from Gooseneck Pond to the Chilson Reservoir storage facility. Chilson Reservoir is a one million-gallon, uncovered concrete reservoir. Gooseneck Pond water is treated by redundant hypochlorination and a potable water corrosion control inhibitor (zinc orthophosphate). The treatment building is located below Gooseneck Pond adjacent to NYS Route 74.

Gooseneck Pond water is again disinfected by hypochlorination as it leaves Chilson Reservoir.

The Gooseneck Pond system is presently operating under filtration avoidance and meets all the required operating and monitoring criteria.

The second source of water is Lake George. An intake structure is located at a depth of 30 feet and approximately 1,800 feet from the shore of Lake George at Baldwin Landing, south of the former village. Raw water flows into a wet well below the filtration plant via a 16 diameter intake main.

Two variable drive pumps (300 to 1,000gpm) pump the raw water from the wet well through four diatomaceous earth (DE) filter units.

Filtered water exits the filter units and is disinfected with sodium hypochlorite before entering a finished water clear well. The clear well is baffled to provide adequate disinfection contact time. Lake George water is filtered at the treatment plant at Baldwin Landing.

Water flows through the clear well to a high-lift pump station located adjacent to the new filter building. The high-lift pump station is equipped with two 75 h.p. pumps.

Each pump is capable of producing 750 gpm.

Lake George water is pumped from the pump station via a transmission main to a one million gallon, steel storage tank located on Mt. Defiance. Lake George water is treated with a corrosion control inhibitor (zinc orthophosphate) before it enters the transmission main.

FACTS AND FIGURES The Ticonderoga Water District serves approximately 5,000 individuals through 1,500 service connections. The total water produced in 2015 was 295 million-gallons.

The Lake George source supplied 165 milliongallons, with an average daily flow of 452,000 gallons per day with the highest single day (11/18/15) production was 640,000 gallons.

The Gooseneck Pond Source supplied 130 million-gallons, with an average daily flow of 357,000 gallons per day with the highest single day (8/16/15) production was 393,000. Last year, water customers were charged $322.00 per unit per year.

ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water.

The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old.

It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791) or the New York State Department of Health at (518) 8911800.

State regulations require that turbidity must always be below 5 NTU. The regulations require that 95% of the turbidity samples collected have measurements below 1.0 NTU for diatomaceous earth filtration.

Our highest single turbidity measurement last year at the Baldwin Landing filtration plant occurred on 11/24/15 (0.21 NTU). All turbidity measurements taken last year at our Baldwin Landing filtration plant were below 1.0 NTU. Our highest single turbidity measurement last year from our Gooseneck Pond source occurred on 12/4/15 (0.33 NTU).

Last year, our system was in compliance with our treatment technique for turbidity.

3 - Water containing more than 20 mg/l of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on very restricted sodium diets. Water containing more than 270 mg/l of sodium should not be used for drinking by people on moderately restricted sodium diets.

4 - During 2014, 20 samples were collected and analyzed for lead and copper. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of the lead or copper values detected at your water system. In this case, 20 samples were collected from your water system and the 90th percentile value was the third highest value for both lead and copper. The action level for lead was exceeded at two of the sites tested. The action level for copper was not exceeded at any of the sites tested. The range of lead samples taken was between ND to 69.0 ug/l. The range of copper samples taken was between 0.03 to 0.29 mg/l.

WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? As you can see by the table, our system had no water quality or monitoring violations. We have learned through our testing that some con-

taminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State.

IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? The Ticonderoga Water District was required to provide treatment for the Gooseneck Reservoir source to inactivate Cryptosporidium before October 1, 2014. The Town is in violation of the Cryptosporidium inactivation requirement of the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2) and is required to cover or treat its uncovered finished water reservoir.

The US EPA has issued an Administrative Order which requires the Ticonderoga WD to comply with the regulations. In addition, the NYSDOH issued violations and took enforcement action for inadequate filtration treatment at the Lake George filer plant. We are required to include the following statement in this report: Inadequately treated water may contain diseasecausing organisms.

These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.

The Town is are working diligently with our engineering firm, the US EPA and the NYSDOH to achieve compliance with the enforcement actions.

We have drilled a production well in the Street Road hamlet area and anticipate that this groundwater source should be available in 2018.

SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT SUMMARY The NYS Dept. of Health completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information.

This assessment for Lake George found an elevated susceptibility to contamination for this source of drinking water. Land cover and its associated activities within the assessment area does not increase the potential for contamination. While there are some facilities present, permitted discharges do not likely represent an important threat to source water quality.

There is noteworthy contamination susceptibility associated with other discrete contaminant sources.

The assessment area for Gooseneck Pond contains no discrete PCSs, and none of the land cover contaminant prevalence ratings are greater than low.

The health department will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning, and education programs. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting us.

DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population.

Source Water Assessment Summary The NYS Dept. of Health has completed a source water assessment for this system based on available information.

The assessment includes an assigned susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each possible source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the ground to the wells.

The susceptibility rating is only a rough estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water and it does not mean that the water delivered to consumers is, or will become contaminated. As mentioned earlier in this report, our water is derived from 3 drilled wells. The source water assessment has rated these wells as having an elevated susceptibility. No significant sources of contamination were identified. The wells draw water from an unconfined aquifer and overlying soils are not known to provide adequate protection from potential contamination Please note that our water supply is disinfected to ensure that the finished water delivered to your home meets the New York State's drinking water standards for microbiological contamination.

The health department will use this information to direct future source water protection activities. These may include water quality monitoring, resource management, planning, and education programs. A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting us as noted below.
