TICONDEROGA Ñ A majority of voters in the Ticonderoga school district on Tuesday approved a $19.67 million budget and a significant building project on a separate vote.

Proponents of the $7.3 million ballot measure said the project will bring needed updates to facilities, including a track replacement and improve the auditorium sound system.

Of the 622 voters who cast ballots on the Ticonderoga budget, 458 voted for the item, while 164 voted against it.

The Ticonderoga proposition saw 412 votes cast in favor of it; 199 votes were cast against it, according to election results from the district.

Schroon ready to form ambulance district Service to be financed through new tax on property owners

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com

SCHROON LAKE Ñ Emergency medical services in the Town of Schroon are likely to improve -- and

cost more -- following officials’ decision last week to establish an ambulance district.

Town board members voted May 12 to establish the district. Beginning next calendar year the new body will assess property owners at a rate of $0.33 per $1,000 of assessed value, according to town clerk Pat Savarie.

The tax would be roughly $58 on a $176,000 home, according to town documents.

Town Supervisor Michael Marnell said the district will effectively form on Jan. 1, which is the beginning

of the next fiscal year.

Annual contract costs for ambulance services isnÕ t expected to exceed $200,000.

Marnell said the investment is needed and “will improve services.Ó The investment will pay off by shaving precious time off emergency responses, when seconds and minutes matter. “Fifteen minutes can seem like an eternity,Õ Marnell said of how services are affected by lagging response times.

Pet therapy offers NCCC students relief from stress

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Busy college students grinding through a stressful last week got a welcome dose of comfort earlier this month

thanks to a pet therapy event organized by a fellow student.

North Country Community College student Rachel Joiner helped create the small oasis of cuddly animals during a May 11 event at the schoolÕ s Ticonderoga campus. The therapeutic

event was greeted enthusiastically by students dealing with end of the semester stress.

The idea to mix cute animals with a stream of students struggling through finals had its skeptics at the beginning, said Joiner, who pitched the proposal to members of the student government. “It was kind of a laughable thing,” she said. “When I ran it past the senate they definitely laughed at me.Ó But the ways in which pet therapy can improve the health conditions of people from small children to seniors is no joke.

According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research website, Animalassisted therapy can significantly reduce pain, anxiety, depression and fatigue in people with a range of health problems.

As a believer in the treatment method, Joiner has been sharing with others how the therapy can lower blood pressure and improve life for the elderly. “At nursing homes, it lets people feel like they are at home again,Ó she said.

After the student government gave the event its blessing, Joiner turned her focus to organizing the May 11 event.

Attendees deemed it a success as students found respite from their studies among the cadre of diverse dog breeds. Members of animal support organizations also were on hand, including Jessica Hartley, executive director of the North Country Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

“People seem to really appreciate it,” Hartley said.

A group of students attempt to relax on a break from studying during a pet therapy event held May 11 at North Country Community College.

Thrift shop hosts annual lunch TICONDEROGA — The volunteers at the First United Methodist Church Thrift Shop in Ticonderoga came together recently for their annual luncheon and recognition ceremony.

Volunteers were recognized for their many hours devoted to the Thrift Shop during 2014.

“Nearly 2,700 hours were recorded by volunteers,” said Jeannine Wright, co-manager.

Leona Simpson became Volunteer of the Year logging in close to 500 hours for the year.

“All volunteers are truly appreciated,“ said Stephanie Frazier, co-manager. “Each person and each hour is very important to the success of the thrift shop,Ó s aid Wright.

The Thrift Shop has been serving the community for nearly 40 years in the downstairs area of the church fellowship wing. The shop offers the opportunity to recycle gently used clothing and household items donated by individuals from the local area and beyond. Prices are considered very reasonable. Proceeds from sales benefit church ministries and community outreach.

The shop is located at the church, 1045 Wicker Street (Route 9N) in Ticonderoga, just up the hill from the hospital. It is open year round on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ti PTO is tuned up for membership expansion

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Jody Belden, president of the Ticonderoga Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization, continues to draw inspiration from the simple collective actions of local adults she encountered growing up in the North Country Community.

Belden is proud the organization was able to reestablish Family Fun Day in recent years. The event features inflatables and cake walks, which bring smiles and laughter to children, but also fosters friendships among adults. The PTO host several other similar events throughout the year.

On a recent Friday, group members gathered at a Ticonderoga hotel to hear a musical performance by two elementary teachers. ItÕ s through such interactions that a unique sense of community gets established, and renewed.

But Belden worries the PTO sometimes gets lost in the fray with other activities

“It’s hard to do some of the events,” she said, “because we donÕ t have enough parents or teachers helping.

Ti students are aided by the PTO in places like music rooms, gymnasiums and beaches. Members have raise money to help cover expenses including instruments and lifeguard costs.

The school year may be winding down, but Belden hopes parents will take a

look at their schedules. She said the time is ripe for them to start exploring whether they can give a couple hours next school year. Parents can become involved with the PTO through attending a group meeting, assisting on field trips and many other ways.

Belden added volunteers typically end up saying they were happy to become involved.

During the school year The Ticonderoga Elementary Parent-Teacher Organizatioholds its meeting at 6 p.m on the third Wednesday of each month. Meetings will resume in the fall. For more information, email jodybelden@yahoo.com.

Editorial

They answered the call of duty. Honor them.

H

aving been involved in close to 100 wars since 1776, the United States of America has been at war 222 out of those 239 years Ñ 93 percent of the time Ñ following the declaration of independence from the British.

War is nothing new to the American public Ñ it is a part of our culture and our history, for better or for worse.

The fallen, like you, like any of us, loved and were loved, harbored longings and ambitions, and yet, when duty called, they answered.

Those ambitions were put on hold indefinitely and that love was lost — at least as it lived in the flesh.

All that remains is their story.

And the only way that story can live on is through you, through us, who do not and cannot understand their sacrifice, and, fortunately for us, we do not have to.

You do not have to believe in the cause for which they fought, you do not have to agree with the people who gave their orders, but, as an American, as a human being, you must appreciate their selflessness and honor their memory in any way you can.

America’s current conflicts are unlike any other in the history of warfare, and, while the deathtolls of these wars are relatively low when compared against the World Wars or the American Civil War, the 4,491 American service members killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2014 as well as the 2,312 who were lost to the war in Afghanistan deserve to be honored the same as any who have fought and died under our star-spangled banner.

It is no secret that these wars, collectively with the War on Terror, have become increasingly unpopular among Americans.

The soldiers who fought in them, however, are not in the business of making war, but simply answered the call they were sworn to answer, risking and sometimes giving their lives in the process.

Ernest Hemingway once wrote that, “Wars are fought by the finest people that there are,” but that, “all the people who stand to profit by a war and who help provoke it should be shot on the first day it starts by accredited representatives of loyal citizens of their country who will fight it.”

He even offered to be that representative, “if legally delegated by those who will fight,” and continued, “If, at the end of the day, there was any evidence that I had in any way provoked the new war or had not performed my delegated duties correctly, I would be willing, if not pleased, to be shot by the same firing squad.”

Hemingway never had the opportunity to fill this position, as he shot himself in the head in 1961.

Since his death no such representative has been appointed, and it is unlikely that anyone else will step up and offer their services.

His point, however, still stands: the soldiers who have fought in these or any American conflicts have done so under orders, and have offered their lives in service to this country without hesitation, not knowing what that service would entail.

In a time when it appears that American nationalism and patriotism are no longer the default, despite the endless personal and political squabbles among civilians, these soldiers and their families still deserve their day of remembrance.

It is the least we can do as citizens of this country to go out and join the parade, attend a ceremony, plant a flag on a grave or simply bow our heads for a moment of silence.

This area is filled with the early military history of an emerging country. Towns throughout the Adirondacks have memorial walls with the names of those who fought against tyranny in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, along with those who took up arms against their brethren in the American Civil War, whose final shots were fired 150 years ago.

Our landscape is filled with remembrances of those eras, from the majestic Fort Ticonderoga to small cemeteries which mark the final resting places of early American heroes.

All weekend long, the North Country will be alive with celebrations honoring these soldiers and their collective sacrifice, and there are endless opportunities for one to get involved.

Even if you cannot attend one of these parades or events, it is the least you can do to take a quick drive to the nearest cemetery or monument and take a moment to stand in silence and attempt to truly appreciate that the men buried underfoot or whose names are incised in those stones boarded a boat or a plane prepared to return wrapped in a flag — and they did.

ISIS not alone in disrespecting rights of others

T

olerance and respect for the beliefs of others provided they did not harm anyone was at one time considered a freedom of expression. One of many freedoms citizens of this country openly enjoyed and guaranteed by the founders of this great land.

We read, hear and see almost on a daily basis how life, liberty and the pursuit of freedom has affected many in the Middle East as groups like ISIS, Boco Haram and others place little value in anyone who can not accept their beliefs.

WeÕ ve heard, even here in this country, how lack of tolerance and angry groups take matters into their own hands, Dan Alexander all too often affecting innocent people. Recognizing our laws Thoughts from and allowing others to choose their life path is what many throughout the history of our nation have paid the ultimate Behind the Pressline price to protect.

So when a story like this one hits the news wire one, at least from my generation has to shake his head and think, “My God, what is this nation coming to?” Recently an Air Force general who spoke about how God has guided his career is now being told by a civil liberties group that he should be court-martialed.

In a speech at a National Day of Prayer Task Force event, Maj. Gen. Craig Olson credited God for his accomplishments in the military, and referred to himself as a “redeemed believer in Christ.Ó The Air Force Times reports that the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has taken issue with Olson’s remarks, is calling for the two-star general to be court-martialed and “aggressively and very visibly brought to justice for his unforgivable crimes and transgressions.Ó The group authored a letter to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Walsh, arguing that OlsonÕ s speech violates rules within the Air Force, which prohibits airmen from endorsing a particular faith or belief.

When men and women put their lives on the line and deal with unspeakable horrors of war to protect our freedoms I believe our founding fathers provided them the opportunity to share those beliefs with those under their control, provided it is not required that others accept those beliefs.

The letter begins, “This demand letter is sent to you on behalf of countless members of the United States Air Force who are utterly disgusted and shocked by the brazenly illicit and wholly unconstitutional, fundamentalist Christian proselytizing recently perpetrated, on international television (“GOD TV”), and streaming all over the Internet and in full military uniform, by USAF Major General Craig S. Olson.

At the end of his speech, Olson asked those in attendance to pray for Defense Department leaders and troops preparing to be deployed.

Olson is the program executive officer at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts, where he is responsible for more than 2,200 personnel, according to the U.S. Air Force website.

There has been no word yet on any action taken by the Air Force to act the request. But I would think that unless those under the GeneralÕ s control were commanded to attend anyone going to a prayer breakfast would have to assume, religion is a topic that will be discussed.

I find it a sad commentary for this nation, founded on religious freedoms, and recognizing the importance of this nation under God, that it would reach the point of removing God from our lives and those who serve in our military because of the intolerance of few who are out to reshape the vision of the founding fathers and the future of our country.

Letters to the Editor

Honor Memorial Day

To the Editor: On this Memorial Day, Homeward Bound Adirondacks joins in remembering and honoring those members of the armed forces who died in service to our nation. In all conflicts, when called upon to serve, soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines answered that call. Many made the ultimate sacrifice. Some died in combat or later succumbed to their wounds. Others faced difficulties that placed their lives or the quality of their lives in jeopardy once they returned “stateside.” Our thoughts and prayers are with all of them, and their families, today. We are thankful for their service.

Viewpoint

he Crown Point reassessment process is now complete. All property owners have been notified regarding their assessment status. Some owners are concerned with the changes in their assessments. These property owners must realize that there are established processes by which these changed assessments can be challenged.

It would be in oneÕ s best interest to meet with the assessor to relate oneÕ s concerns and listen to the rational by which the assessor established the property value. Often times a meeting with the assessor will bring resolution to the contested assessment. If no understanding or compromise is attained at a meeting with the assessor the next step would be to meet with the Board of Assessment Review. This board is made up of five residents of Crown Point who have been appointed by the town board and serve a five year term. Each year a member of the board whose term is up will be reappointed by the town board if in good standing with the rest of the Board of Assessment Review or another person agreeable to the appointment will be considered. Members of the Board of Assessment Review must participate in a formal training before they can sit on the review board. Friday, May 22 is the last day appointments can be made to meet with the assessor. Wednesday, May 27, at 4 p.m., is the date and time for the Board of Assessment Review to convene. Each property owner must be equipped with a form titled “Complaint on Real Property Assessment for 2015. These forms are available at the Town ClerkÕ s Of-

fice. The review board will not entertain any concerns without this completed form. Anticipating that this may be a contentious year for changes in assessments, the board will collect all complaint forms from persons who have been unable to meet with the review board and review them the following week Wednesday, May 27, after 8 p.m. It is most important to understand that no complaint forms will be accepted after May 27.

Persons with assessment complaints should be equipped with com parables of properties they feel are of similar value. These com parables can be accomplished with the 2015 Assessment Roll Book which is located at the Town Clerk’s Office. Recent property sales can also be utilized as com parables. Another avenue of contesting property values may be attained by employing a certified appraiser. The property owner would be responsible for appraiser fees. This process is not traditionally employed at the Board of Assessment Review level but would be demonstrated in a court of law.

The town supervisor and the town board has no authority in regards to assessments. The board does appoint the assessor whose term is for six years. At the end of the six year term the board may reappoint or establish a process to hire another assessor.

It is imperative to understand that the assessment process has a system of checks and balances which provides an avenue of fairness for property owners.

Charles Harrington, Crown Point Supervisor

Douglas’ resignation to shake up board

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Board Chairman Randy Douglas’ resignation on Friday, May 22 will lead to a shakeup in the boardÕ s leadership, the first in nearly four years.

While supers will vote on Monday, May 26 for the next chair and vice chair, the race seems all but mopped up.

As Vice Chair, Bill Ferebee (R), of Keene, is the next in line to move up to the top slot.

And the race for the new vice is decidedly tame, with senior supers Tom Scozzafava and Gerald Morrow flatly stating that they’re not interested.

Add this to the pending retirements Ñ at least three lawmakers are slated to hang it up at the end of this term Ñ and the huge crop of junior members, only a few candidates are left standing.

Randy Preston (I), of Wilmington, has said heÕ s actively campaigning for the deputy position.

“It’s not over ‘til it’s over,” he said on Monday when asked if he felt confident about his prospects.

Douglas will resign as Jay town supervisor on June 2 following the swearing in of the countyÕ s new leadership.

The next day, he’ll begin his new gig in Plattsburgh, one of five members on the unemployment insurance review board.

In Jay, it’s expected that the town board will select Deputy Supervisor Archie Depo (D) as interim town supervisor until a special election is held sometime this year.

And with fall, of course, comes an election.

Minus the three retirements, 13 supervisors will have to defend their seats this year.

Incumbents and office-seekers are set to start circulating petitions sometime this month following the release of a primary calendar from

the state board of elections.

DouglasÕ resignation also means that an unexpected figure will rise to the upper echelons of power on Friday — at least for the weekend.

“Does that make me vice chair for a few days?” asked Finance Chair Tom Scozzafava.

“It does,” said Douglas. “Is that the Alexander Haig thing?Ó he asked, referred to the secretary of state who, following the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, famously declared, “I’m in control here.”

Everyone laughed.

Douglas later said the biggest thing heÕ s going to miss about the job is the people.

“There’s many nights I came home and knew I made a difference in peoplesÕ lives,Ó he said.

Douglas urged the next chair to be assertive

in locking in funds: “You’ve got to be out in the forefront,” he said. “Everything is a competition for leveraging funding for your 18 towns.Ó Douglas said he’s worked well with Ferebee over the years on a number of issues, from FEMA relief to locking in infrastructure funding.

“Bill’s been a great asset to me — he went through hell with Irene and heÕ s going to be a great chairman.Ó ABOVE: Essex County Chairman Randy Douglas (center) will resign his post on Friday, May 22 to take a state job. Lawmakers will select a replacement at their meeting next week.

Potty talk

Y

ou might henceforth be justified in referring to me as a potty mouth.

But, donÕ t send the kids from the room. This is only a short treatise on the little house out back that some of us recall fondly or not so fondly from our youth.

It went by many names, some of which will bring a glimpse of déjà vu. The first one to enter my mind is privy. I have also heard them called outhouses, backhouses, and _ _ _ _houses. My friends in the UK might use the term bog. In Australia it would be a dunny.

When I was in the Boy Scouts, we called it a kybo.

I have read dozens of serious books

by Gordie Little and articles on the topic and have seen thousands of photos of privies, past and present. Years ago, a friend gave me a beautifully illustrated book with many colored photos and drawings. It has a cherished spot in my library. I might even peruse it while sitting on the throne.

Each weekend I search the cobwebs in my brain for column fodder. I ask Kaye and she invariably answers, “I can’t think of anything.Ó My friend Leeward Babbie gave me an inadvertent head start this time. Calvin Castine and I visited his Babbie’s Rural & Farm Learning Museum on the River Road, Peru to record a television show for the season opening. The entire place is like a charming time machine for young and old.

Our tour led us to a 200 year-old structure moved from a former community called Goshen. It is being restored to its original use as a country store and visitors can watch progress. A tiny wooden building next to the store building attracted my attention and Leeward was pleased to explain how it was his winter project. It is difficult to find any old outhouses still in existence, especially those that owners would be willing to part with. So Babbie built one from scratch, based on his own childhood memories.

ItÕ s a classic one-holer and I quickly advised him to erect a large sign indicating that it is “For Display Purposes Only. Keep Lid Down.Ó I asked why he didnÕ t cut a moon shape in the door and he had a quick answer: “I never saw one with a moon, did you? Besides, why would you cut a hole so people could see in?Ó He was right. I think the comic book cartoonists invented the moon shape, although, history reveals that hundreds of years ago, the sun and moon shapes could have been used to indicate gender.

But BabbieÕ s privy has special additions. It was not built over a hole in the ground like most others. Back in the day, when the hole was full, you simply dug another pit elsewhere and plunked the outhouse on top.

Leeward remembered the one from his youth having actually been attached to the shed on the back of their house. Rather than being over a hole, a hinged door on the side could be lifted to reveal a wooden box that was inserted beneath the hole or holes. When full, he said, it could be slid out and towed by a horse to a location where the contents could be buried or used as fertilizer.

Some privies contained as many as a dozen holes. Some were multiple stories high with special chutes to carry waste from the top to the bottom without worry to users down below. I have seen very fancy outhouses made of brick and cement and some had holes beneath them that were lined with various materials.

These days, privy diggers are archeologists and anthropologists, searching for sites dating to the mid-19th century. They find valuable old bottles and other items discarded on purpose or by mistake in days gone by.

I never used corn cobs in a privy, but old catalogues were handy for something besides reading.

And, just to set the record straight, Thomas Crapper did not invent the flush toilet.

He was, however, busy promoting indoor plumbing and finding ways to improve the kind of porcelain throne we use inside our homes today.

More than 40 grads welcomed to ‘most trusted profession’ NCCC graduates were urged by a speaker to care for others like family

TICONDEROGA — Forty-one North Country Community College graduates were urged by a guest speaker at their pinning ceremony last week to strive for excellence as they serve others during “vulnerable and sacred times.”

“You now have the knowledge and the skill to join that most trusted profession Ñ nursing,Ó Lynne Reale, a nursing program instructor with the college, told graduates.

Hundreds of family members and supporters gathered for the May 13 pinning ceremony in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium.

“Pinning is a very special time,” Reale told the graduates. ItÕ s a long-standing nursing tradition, she said, for nurses to receive, which can serve to remind them of their accomplishments and studies.

At points, Reale touched on personal experiences to connect with the graduates.

In her mother’s final days and during her sonÕ s hospitalization, Reale said she learned to more fully appreciate how an individual nurse can make an impact.

The community college teacher recalled how her son had “tubes coming out everywhere” after the bad accident. But she also explained how one nurse made a difference by talking specifics about her son’s condition on a difficult night. “Through his assessment, (the nurse) let me know what he was doing and let me know what he was doing.Ó

Reale said the nurseÕ s willingness to share and also how he communicated that he would call on others if needed gave her peace of mind that it would be OK for her to go get some rest.

“I’ll never forget him,” Reale said.

She said the lessons learned during their formal education at North Country would be instructive to the graduates as the assume vital posts in hospitals, schools and other places throughout their communities.

Reale called on graduates to “take care of your patients as you would want them to take care of you and your loved ones.Ó And also to “take care of your coworkers when they have had a rough day.Ó Graduates also heard remarks from nursing program leaders including Charles Van Anden, Joe Keegan and Selina LeMay-Klippel.

William Blood, a 2015 graduate, also spoke to his fellow graduates. Blood touched on how the each studentÕ s knowledge of health and the overall human condition have expanded throughout the program. He acknowledged busy students working their way through a tasking program arenÕ t always the most easygoing people to be around. “I know I speak for the entire class in thanking all of our family and friends and for their understand and support in putting up with us,Ó he said.

Following the ceremony graduates gathered outside the auditorium for pictures and to enjoy some celebratory sweets.

Community theater comes to Ti TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Festival Guild is pleased to announce the formation of the Festival Guild Players, a community theater group that will hold open auditions and welcome everyone who has an interest in being on stage or working behind the scenes.

Having tested the waters last fall with a very successful dinner mystery play, the Players will produce GirlÕ s Ni ght Out on two evenings in September at EmeraldÕ s Restaurant in Ticonderoga.

Auditions will be held on Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, May 30, at 10 a.m. at the Downtown Gallery, 119 Montcalm Street.

The cast will consist of one man, age 35 to 50 and four women, ages 25 to 50, with three small non-scripted parts. An interest in acting is more important than experience.

“If you have ever longed to be on stage, now is your chance,” Judy Walker said. “If you are petrified of being on stage, but want to be involved in the excitement of the theater, please come to auditions and let the Players know of your particular interest in lighting, sound, costumes, set design, construction, etc.Ó The Festival Guild Players production will be directed by Vincent Smith, who has been involved in every aspect of the theater for many decades, from acting, designing, and directing to producing. In addition to working with a number of theaters over the years, Vincent and

his wife, Alice, a professional costume designer, founded an Off Broadway theater company in New York City that just celebrated its 15th anniversary.

The Festival Guild Players are currently planning to do a new version of A Christmas Carol this December that will place the traditional play in a current setting, while still keeping the sensitivity of DickensÕ original story. Auditions for the production of The Christmas Carol will be held in the Fall.

The Players plan to have at least three productions a year, along with play readings and other theatrical events. An additional goal is to hold acting classes for all ages and to provide our youth with the opportunity to experience the world of the theater.

Acting is a wonderful way for people of all ages, especially the young, to gain self confidence and the ability to be articulate and self possessed in front of an audience,” Walker said. “In addition, those who want to work behind the scenes are able to gain experience in very practical areas, such as lighting, sound, costumes, make-up, set design, construction, etc. And everyone will have a wonderful time working and ‘playing’ together.”

Ticonderoga natives set to sail boat rental company

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga native Adam Porter hails from an area steeped in boating and tourism. But Porter and his boyhood friend and new business partner, Chris Pelerin, are confident their new business called the Adirondack Boat Rental Co. can distinguish itself by serving an expansive geographic area and by utilizing their knowledge of the region.

Porter and Pelerin went to Ticonderoga High School and graduated in 2003. They learned to ride the waters of Lake George and Lake Champlain, and they also developed an understanding of the nuts and bolts of the boat rental business. “He’s very versed in mechanics,” Porter said of his partner. “I really enjoy hospitality and tourism.”

Porter said it was Pelerin who planted the initial seed for their new venture, which theyÕ re touting as an “economical and seamless way to get a boat rental in the Adirondacks.”

“This area is always in search of some new ideas,” Porter said.

The North Country entrepreneurs say theyÕ re also planning to use mobile technology to be able to get boats all across the Adirondack Park, which includes more than 3,000 lakes. “Technology helps us out a lot,” he said. “We’re a mobile boat rental service.”

Though Porter and Pelerin plan to serve the entire region, theyÕ re deeply rooted to the town of Ticonderoga. TheyÕ ve joined the local chamber, which held a ribbon cutting ceremony for them in early May. To learn more about the boat company online at ww.facebook.com/adkboat.

The Adirondack Boat Rental Company ribbon cutting took place recently. Pictured are Adam Porter and Chris Pelerin – owners of Adirondack Boat Rental Company with members of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, family and community representatives.

Preparations underway for TAUNY quilt days through region TICONDEROGA — In preparation for a major exhibit of Northern New York quilts, TAUNY (Traditional Arts in Upstate New York) is holding a series of Quilt Days around the region where individuals are invited to bring their quilts to be documented and photographed. Quilts will be documented throughout the day on Saturday, May 30, at the Ticonderoga Historical Society’s Hancock House, 6 Moses Circle. Quilt owners are asked to schedule an appointment by emailing jill@tauny.org or by calling 315-386-4200.

The quilt documentation team is led by TAUNY executive director and folklorist Jill Breit and historian Hallie Bond, both of whom have written about and curated exhibitions on traditional fiber arts. The first Quilt Day at the TAUNY Center in Canton brought out more than 50 examples, and to date for this exhibit, the two have documented more than 100 quilts.

The call is for antique, heirloom and contemporary quilts made in Northern New York. Given their relative scarcity, there is no limit on how many antique quilts each person can bring for documentation. Contemporary Quilters are asked to choose a maximum of two quilts that best represent their style. “We’ll be holding documentation days throughout the 14-county North Country, so keep an eye out for a session close to home,Ó suggests Breit.

The documentation process is extensive, so participants are

asked to fill out as much of the documentation form as they can before arriving. The documentation form can be downloaded at tauny.org.

TAUNY’s team will measure and photograph each quilt and record any information owners have about them. They are particularly interested in family stories about the quilts, and photographs and biographical information of the makers. They will have the ability to scan photographs on site with permission, and any information is valued for its contribution to the story. All information collected will be added to TAUNY’s research collection.

“We are interested in the whole range of what people have and make in our region. That includes art quilts, bed coverings and other utilitarian quilts, items made from kits or directions in a magazine, or tied with yarn instead of being quilted with tiny stitches. Each piece is a part of the larger story of life in northern New York, past and present,Ó says Hallie Bond.

This research is supported by the Coby Foundation.

YMCA Camp Chingachgook accepting summer program registrations LAKE GEORGE Ñ YMCA Camp Chingachgook is still accepting registrations for this summer for its premiere summer camp program. The camp is almost filled to capacity, but still has openings for overnight camp from Sunday, June

28 to Friday, Aug. 28. There are Day Camp and Adventure Trip dates available in weeks throughout the summer, but most programs are nearly full.

“Our number of campers returning from last year is extremely high, leaving only a few spots open for additional campers,Ó said Camp Director Billy Rankin. “We expect to

serve more children this summer than we ever have!”

ChingachgookÕ s summer camp program offers a breadth and depth not found in just any camp. Day Camp, Overnight Camp, and Teen Adventure Trips at Chingachgook offer a progressive and varied experience for children.

Life at camp provides the

opportunity for children ages 5 to 17 to make friends, learn new skills and develop character through the YMCA core values of Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibility.

As campers work and live together as a community they develop self-confidence, leadership, and independence.

Skill classes include sailing,

waterskiing, archery, sports, art, painting, mountain biking, rock climbing, nature studies, riflery, soccer, tennis, softball, as well as numerous waterfront activities. ChingachgookÕ s extensive shoreline, with two 80-foot docks, a two story sailing pavilion, and a fleet of 75 canoes, rowboats, sailboats, paddleboards, kayaks, and mo-

tor boats also make many opportunities for swimming and boating skills classes possible.

Making progress on sustainable tourism, one roundtable at a time

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WESTPORT Ñ Last fall, county tourism officials rolled out a new strategy: Band towns across the Adirondack Park together into groups and empower them to map out their own tourism strategies.

ItÕ s a forward-thinking, decentralized approach that has shifted more responsibilities from ROOST, the agency that manages Essex CountyÕ s tourism assets, to local stakeholders, or groups known as TDAs. Doing so, says the organization, gives each town the opportunity to identity and execute which strategies work best for them.

In time, hope officials, these policies will act as a catalyst for sustained economic development.

In all, there are 13 TDAs in Franklin, Hamilton and Essex counties.

The Central Champlain Valley TDA includes Chesterfield, Essex, Westport and Willsboro.

For the past six months, a core group of volunteers in those four towns have been tasked with assembling a roadmap.

So howÕ s it going?

The all-volunteer groups are making progress, said ROOST CEO James McKenna.

“The value is crossing town lines and realizing that in working together, there is greater potential for success,Ó he said.

While the volunteers have identified numerous long-term areas that theyÕ d like to zero in on Ñ top concerns include drawing in more train traffic, alleviating transportation issues, encouraging more medium-priced lodging and the creation of a wellness corridor and agritourism biz Ñ short-term, quick-hit goals remain elusive, like getting the general public involved and creating nimble plans that can easily be executed.

In a pair of meetings this spring, ROOST CEO James McKenna encouraged members to start putting dents in their goals.

He offered the group a homework assignment:

Compile a list of public access lakefront sites from Ticonderoga to Chesterfield, something that can be disseminated to tourists this summer.

Nothing big, online only. A reminder that these towns are open for business.

The lack of public lakefront access is a problem that the group had previously identified.

“Are there places on the lake that we can tell people about?” McKenna asked. “It might not be a bad ideaÉ and thatÕ s something [ROOST] can support as well.Ó Great idea, the room said.

But the conversations drifted back towards the long-term: Transportation access. Branding and marketing efforts. Lodging development.

Hilltop Motel owner Ron Clausen said big changes were afoot at his business, which is located on Exit 31, right off the Northway.

He just needed to be pointed in the right direction for some assistance.

“How can we get you to the next step?” asked McKenna. “What can we do?”

“Help me with the steps,” said Clausen.

McKenna issued a stream of names and numbers from memory that Clausen promptly jotted down.

What else?

Drawing in more folks on trains continues to be a high priority, said the group, citing WestportÕ s underutilized Amtrak station.

Advertising is one option, said Westport Chamber of Commerce President Dee Carroll.

A recent ad in the trade mag New York By Rail, she said, saw a Poughkeepsie-based fisherman reach out to ask about charter fishing by train.

“So we might have to identity niche activities that would be helpful,Ó Carroll offered.

And then thereÕ s the issue of transportation once travelers disembark in Westport.

There isnÕ t a rental agency for miles, be they bicycles or cars.

“How are they going to get around?” asked Carroll.

Once that gap is filled in, she said, it’ll be easier to get folks off the train and enjoying desti-

nations not only within their four-town TDA, but other areas, as well.

McKenna said perhaps one possible enticement was creating itineraries that included destinations like the Depot Theatre, Champlain Area Trails, Lake Champlain Yoga and the Westport Inn, among others, and marketing them as a unified package.

“Maybe it’s as simple as that,” he said.

Success, in part, will be contingent on attracting a younger demographic, said McKenna.

A recent focus group in New York City revealed that even the travelers who were familiar with the Adirondack Park had also heard horror stories that very likely may dissuade them from coming, like a lack of cell phone coverage or broadband, for instance.

“They could just as easily go someone else,” said McKenna. “We have to start addressing this issue at a greater amount than we have been.Ó

Upstate Regional Initiative

While Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made universal broadband coverage a priority for his second term, thereÕ s also the granddaddy of economic development projects, the Upstate Revitalization Initiative, which was rolled out last month following approval by the state legislature.

ItÕ s a major economic development program in which seven upstate regions, including the North Country, will compete for three available $500 million pots of development funds.

This is in addition to the normal CFA process, which is happening concurrently.

The URI is not a traditional economic development program, said McKenna, but rather one that will attempt to get to the root of economic sustainability issues in ailing upstate economies.

ItÕ s not a handout, he said, but rather a kickstart, a catalyst that will ideally spur the economy to be more private-sector driven through the creation of jobs, wealth and private investment.

The North Country Regional Economic

Council has pinpointed three main areas for development: Advanced manufacturing and information technology, green technology and agriculture.

With a promising farm-to-table scene, the Champlain Valley TDA can dial into the former, explained McKenna, and would do well to examine agritourism a little more thoroughly.

Ideally, specific initiatives generated through those three categories will bubble up and be included in the plan, which needs to be submitted to the state by October.

After the regional council submits their plan, the state will go through each of the seven regions to determine which has the most potential for change.

“They’re looking for four or five really good concepts that will fundamentally change the economy,Ó said McKenna.

Tourism, he stressed, not the end-all for their communities, but rather the means to get somewhere else.

If measures are successful, other industries may sprout organically, thus adding population to a region facing a demographic spiral.

Perhaps school systems may even benefit.

ItÕ s not a free ride.

For each dollar the state invests, at least five private dollars are typically required as a match. If the North Country lands their $500 million prize, with $130 million coming down the pike the first year, the private sector must take the lead.

The next three months are going to be intensive as the council begins to assemble projects, McKenna said.

He hailed municipalities, elected officials and nonprofits for their increased collaborative efforts Ñ and the Central Champlain Valley TDA, too.

Since the state is looking at regionalization of everything, anything sketched out with a regional tilt will be likely climb higher up the ladder.

“Any partnership will be looked at very favorably,Ó he said.

Three school districts, county unite against distracted driving

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A trio of local schools got a harsh lesson in what can happen if you decide a text message is more important than keeping your eyes on the road.

High school students from Moriah and Westport Central Schools, along with middle and high school students from Crown Point, came together in Port Henry May 7 to hear from the Save a Life tour, who travels the country with a multi-media approach to teaching about distracted driving.

“Essex County Stop DWI was a great partner is funding the majority of this event,Ó Moriah Superintendent Bill Larrow said.

“With all of the proms and events coming up in the next two months, this is definitely worth it.”

While events like this in the past have primarily focused on the impacts of drinking and driving, the Save a Life campaign focused more on the new threat facing teens behind the wheel.

“Texting is a huge issue along with drinking and driving,” Larrow said.

“This is not just a Westport issue, so it’s nice to have three schools here together,” Westport principal Adam Facteau said.

“We wanted the students to experience this event and learn something.Ó “This can be a busy season for destructive decisions,” Crown Point Dean of Students Tara Spaulding said. “Like they said in the program, you need the same three skills to drive as you do to text, so it is impossible to text and drive.”

Along with a video montage and presentation from the members of Save a Life, students also got a chance to drive one of two simulators, one simulating impaired judgement from drunk driving and the other having the student drive for 30 seconds before receiving and sending a series of text messages.

“It was really good because this presentation also gave a good visual of what can happen,Ó Westport junior Thomas Mero said.

“They gave a realistic look at it. I will definitely not use my phone in the car or make a decision that would harm me or the people with me.Ó “I thought this was just going to be some guy standing up on the stage and lecturing us,Ó Crown Point junior Lori Worden said.

“They made it an interesting, fun experience. It was a lot cooler than what I thought we were going to see and we learned a lot of things. It showed me when you do something stupid while you are driving, it doesnÕ t affect only you but the other people on the road and your family.Ó Both Worden and Mero said they had discussed as a class the dangers of distracted driving previously as both schools recently held their junior proms.

Made in the Mountains expands with consignment shop

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A Port Henry art gallery has launched a new consignment shop to broaden its appeal to customers across the North Country.

Made in the Mountains Craft Gallery opened its doors last summer in Port Henry at 3259 Broad St. Not resting on the laurels of a busy first year, the trio of women behind the gallery has launched Port Resale.

It is located directly adjacent to the gallery, which is easily identifiable by its large display windows.

“It’ll give people more options for coming in,” Sue McHone, one of the gallery’s co-owners, said. “We’re basically doubling the size of the shop.”

McHone said the consignment portion of the business has generated a lot of buzz in nearby Adirondack communities.

“We’ve had a lot of people say they’re going to bring in some furniture, so we’re expecting to have more coming in in the next few days,” she said during an interview last week.

Linda Smyth, another gallery co-owner, said itÕ s not just furniture collectors who will be drawn to the consignment aspect of their business.

The shop will be open to displaying “anything of interest,” Smyth said.

While the gallery continues to show work from an increasing list of regional artists, itÕ s more than market demand driving the entrepreneurs behind the Broad Street business.

“We wanted to do something” for the community. McHone said.

Indeed, their diverse arrangements and colorful displays -- located in a store front across the street from the post office -- have brought a dose of economic diversity to the village.

McHone noted she, Smyth and their third business partner, Jackie Viestenz, are hoping their work contributes long-term to an improved retail economy in Port Henry.

Continued growth on art portion of business

Even though it may be lacking gallery space, McHone said Port Henry has a vibrant and productive group of artists. About 14 artists were displaying art in the gallery when it opened in 2014. Within a few months, about 40 artists were showing their work.

Building new connections has been a key to keeping the doors swinging at the gallery. McHone noted fans of Adirondack-inspired fiction, poetry and history are now able to purchase interesting items at the gallery. ThatÕ s thanks to a new relationship the gallery has formed with Vermont-based RA Press. Other featured gallery items include quilts, pottery and painting.

Expanded hours

With the new consignment area comes an addition of hours to cater to the anticipated spike in customer traffic. Both sides of the business will be open four days per week. The new hours are as follows: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday noon to 5 p.m.

Celebration planned on first anniversary of Grace Peak

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON — Last year, the summit formerly known as East Dix was renamed to honor the first female to summit the 46 tallest peaks within the Adirondack Park.

Now, members of the Adirondack 46ers will come together in North Hudson Saturday, June 20, to honor the life and accomplishments of Grace Hudowalski, along with marking the one year anniversary of the official naming of Grace Peak.

“We went to the towns and built support for this project through them, now we want to thank them and celebrate,Ó said Doug Arnold, chairman of the Grace Peak Committee.

Arnold and his team worked hard to get a peak named in honor of Hudowalski, one of the founding members of the 46ers. Along with building support in the Adirondack communities, the team also created a video and were able to land a high profile narrator.

“Johnny Cash narrated the video which brought Grace to life for everyone who saw it,Ó Arnold said of the late musician.

Hudowalski, who passed away in 2004, was a lifelong resident of the Adirondacks, calling North Hudson home.

“She was true-blue Adirondacker,” Arnold said.

In August of 1937, Hudowalski was the ninth person - and first female, to summit the 46, stepping foot atop Esther Mountain to complete her journeying. She would then serve as an advocate for the park and the 46er movement, lending her time and talent to promoting natural tourism in the park.

“With the 46er membership now approaching 10,000, we wanted to say thank you,” Arnold said. “We wanted to show a collaboration with North Hudson in celebrating this woman and her legacy with Grace Peak.Õ Grace Peak was officially named June 12 of last year to, ”commemorate Grace’s distinguished career, her inspirational public service to the people of the State and her native Adirondacks, and her legacy.Ó Party time The June 20 celebration will be held at the North Hudson town park, featuring local food, music and fun.

“There will be local products, including Witch Water, a brew made in honor of Grace by the Paradox Brewing Company,” Arnold said, referring to Hudowalski’s drinking of river and trail water while on a hike, opting not to hike with a canteen.

Arnold said there would also be buffalo burgers from Adirondack Buffalo and music from Jam Crackers and Dan Berggren.

The event will also serve as the award ceremony for the annual Grace Hudowalski Essay Contest, with prose submitted by students from Schroon Lake Central School.

It started as an assignment for 11th grade students in 1957 and stopped for a while in 1974,” Arnold said. “It was picked up again nine years ago by the Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society.Ó For more information on the Grace Peak celebration, contact Arnold at 315-4669833.

The audience will see her multi-media presentation on preparations for 19th century travel, modes of transportation, and the etiquette and social mores of the Victorian era.

This program is generously sponsored by a grant from the New York Council for the Humanities, Speakers in the Humanities Series and is free and open to the general public.

For more information, contact Program Coordinator, Laura Dewey at 532-7530.

Ambulance Continued from page 1 This latest development comes on the heels of steps already been taken by Schroon officials to improve emergency services. In January 2015, the town started paying a contractor to provide emergency response services 12 hours per day, Marnell said. He explained the town’s current contractor, E5 Support Services, has taken calls from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. ; A volunteer squad has handled calls during overnight shifts.

The formation of the ambulance district is expected to allow officials to pay a contractor to provide ambulances services 24 hours per day instead of 12 hours, Marnell said.

All across the North Country, governments have faced difficult questions related questions about equipment costs, aging volunteers and other factors.

“Everybody’s having the same thing,” Marnell said.

At a town board meeting last summer, Marnell stated the Schroon Lake Emergency Squad had struggled to keep its Advanced Life Support certification. Additionally, the captain of the Schroon Lake Ambulance Squad told the group that vol-

unteer staffing numbers were not able to keep up with call volume.

Forming the new ambulance district may streamline the budgeting process. The emergency services contractor has been paid for through general fund expenditures during the current fiscal year. But next year they will be financed through the budget of the newly-created ambulance district.

Officials acknowledge many other details about budgeting and personnel will need to be worked out over the next few months.

Under an agreement, the town of Schroon has provided emergency response services to the town of North Hudson in recent years. Marnell said it’s expected the towns will continue to work together. A call seeking comment from town of North Hudson supervisor Tom Moore on the impact of the resolution was not immediately successful prior to deadline for this article.

With the vote behind them, town officials will pivot to acquiring the necessary permits to establish the district. The approved resolution is subject to the permissive referendum process.

I could succeed or I could fail.Ó After spending a semester failing and getting encouragement from her mother, Smith finished college in six years with two degrees.

“Change is okay,” said Smith. “When you make that shift from high school to college, itÕ s a tough transition. Things will happen in your life and circumstances will change, but if you stay confident and be your best, you will be successful.Ó Throughout the day, the young women all part of the College For Every Student program, which helps students get to and through college and ready to enter the 21st century workforce, took part in the Essential skills sessions.

Assessments Continued from page 1 While Harrington acknowledged many people have concerns about the process, he said he’s confident in the assessment and review system. For example, he expressed assuredness in the process because of the formal training required of board of assessment members. “One way or the other theyÕ re going to get a fair shake,Ó he said of residents with concerns.

Another option for those with disputes about their assessments was to schedule an appointment with the assessor’s office.

Elections Continued from page 1 supporting key facility updates that improve the overall educational environment, McDonald said.

Voters in Moriah, Putnam, Schroon Lake and Crown Point also approved budgets in TuesdayÕ s election. All of the budgets fell at or below the state property tax cap levy. Had a district wanted its budget to exceed the state cap a supermajority of votes would have been required for passage. The budgets were approved despite widespread concerns about the Common Core curriculum and a controversial education reform package approved by state lawmakers earlier this year.

Moriah Central Superintendent Bill Larrow said via email Wednesday that officials were “very pleased” with approval of the $15.7 million budget. The spending plan will allow for a couple part-time teaching positions to be added. But Larrow has said that despite an increase in state aid to the district for next year, funding needs to be at a higher level.

Crown Point voters approved a $6.64 million budget, with 83 votes in favor and 5 against. Incumbent June Glebus was re-elected in an uncontested election.

The Schroon Lake district saw its approximately $7.73 million budget approved. Results showed 249 votes in favor the budget and 84 against the budget One notable school board race in Schroon Lake saw newcomer Susan Repko beat out former board member Bruce Murdock. Repko garnered 169 votes to the 145 collected by Murdock, according to election results posted on the Schroon Lake districtÕ s website.

In Putnam, Farley Tierney was the apparent winner in a tight race over Casey King for a seat on the Putnam board of education. Tierney received 133 votes; King received 127 votes; and Robert Geh received 1 vote, according to the district board clerk. Tierney was elected to fill out a partial one year term. Jodie Bruce edged out Allen Moore for a five year term on the Putnam board. Bruce collected 149 votes, while 119 votes were cast for Moore.

North Country voters also signed off on a slew of propositions for facility improvements and to replace equipment. In Putnam, voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot resolution to finance $50,000 in capital improvements. The measure received 221 “yes” votes and 41 “no” votes.

To view updated district results, go online to www.timesofti.com.

www.timesofti.com After receiving his 2015 assessment, Harrington set up a meeting with the assessor, and came to a compromise. “The compromise was that my assessment was lowered,Ó he said.

On May 15, Harrington wrote a letter to the Times of Ti outlining the appeals process (see page 7). “It is imperative to understand that the assessment process has a system of checks and balances,Ó he wrote.

May 22 was set as the deadline to schedule an appointment with Maxwell. “I don’t know if he would extend that to another day,” said Harrington, who added the town supervisor and board have no authority regarding assessments.

The most important step for people with assessment grievances is

Times of Ti • May 23, 2015 | 17 to file their complaints by May. 27, he said. Other Harrington tips for being knowledgeable and moving forward with the process include: •Persons with assessment complaints should be equipped with “comparables” of properties they feel are of similar value. Comparables can be accomplished with the 2015 Assessment Roll Book which is located at the Town Clerk’s Office.

•Recent property sales can also be utilized as comparables. Another avenue of contesting property values may be attained by employing a certified appraiser. The property owner would be responsible for appraiser fees. This process is not traditionally employed at the Board of Assessment Review level but would be demonstrated in a court of law.

Their pictures really do not do these regal kitties justice. They were sadly surrendered after living with their family for six years who was no longer able to keep them.

When the siblings first arrived, they were traumatized to be at the noisy, strange environ-

ment of the shelter. They are slowly adjusting and starting to show us their personalities; although they are very vocal and “talkative,” they are going to be very loving cats.

We are hoping they can remain together and find a family who will adopt them both, since they have been together for their entire lives.

Please stop by and give these wonderful cats a second chance!

“And you actually get paid to do this?”

Traffic control for trout and two beards

W

h a t does stocking a river and being a firefighter have in common?

Good question you ask. Well as it turns out, on Wednesday the 29th fire police traffic control training came into play.

By Rich Redman There we were, a dozen of us or so, along the River Road in Lake Placid, cars buzzing by, and driverÕ s heads turning left and right to see, “what was going on”. Not wanting one of the young fish stocking volunteers to become road rug material, two of us took to manning the traffic control operation while the others maintained a steady bucket brigade back and forth from the truck to the shoreline. The enthusiastic youth, along with some of us seasoned guys were depositing Brown Trout into the cold waters of the West Branch of the Ausable River. Hey, you never know when your training comes in handy!

The crew had met earlier to start the annual trout stocking of yearling fish near the ski jumps in Placid. Working our way downstream, we stocked over ,5000 New York State hatchery fish into the stream that afternoon. The New York State fish hatchery truck, driven by Ken Klubek, a proud western NY Lackawanna native, and his seasonal assistant Josh Gutenmann, served up fresh fish that afternoon.

Netting the 5 to 7 inch yearling Brown Trout from the truck tanks, they scooped them up and placed the fish in buckets for the stockers to take to stream side and release. Working our way downstream, we released the fish in areas where we felt the fish had a better chance of survival and the habitat looked fishy!

The young volunteer fish stockers from the North Country School included, Toby Nadell, L. Hedon, Peam chongtaveetham, Matt Mitchell, Addie Friedlander, and Owen Sweeney.

Trout Unlimited Tri-Lakes Chapter members included, Doug Moline, John Mills, and Bob Hudak, while I represented the Lake Champlain T.U. Chapter.

Once we finished our stocking section of the river, we noticed the Essex County hatchery truck stocking 1,000 two-year-old Browns, farther downstream.

The Essex County hatchery in Crown Point raises the fish, that fishermen love to fish for.

When you hook into a nice 14 inch Brown, you are having a good day, and that’s what we fish for.

That is the goal for our streams, clean water, supreme habitat and lots of big fish.

Two Beards

Pictured above: depositing Brown Trout in the Branch of the Ausable River. Pictured below is the stocking crew.

Brenda and Jimmer Sherman of Moriah took a turkey double opening day of the spring turkey season. Brenda took a bearded hen, which weighed 12 lbs. and sported a 7’’ beard. Bearded hens are legal to harvest and are a rare occurrence. Jimmer’s gobbler had a 10.5’’ beard with 1 1/8’’ spurs and weighed in at 20.5 lbs.

Throughout history dynamic duos have worked together. There was Ricky and Lucy, Laurel and Hardy, Batman and Robin and now BRENDA and JIMMER. The hunting team of Brenda and Jimmer Sherman of Moriah took a turkey double opening day of the spring turkey season, which opened May 1st.

Brenda took a bearded HEN, which weighed 12 lbs. and sported a 7Õ Õ beard. Bearded hens are legal to harvest and are a rare occurrence.

JimmerÕ s gobbler had a 10.5Õ Õ beard with 1 1/8Õ Õ spurs and weighed in at 20.5 lbs.

Congratulations to the dynamic duo of the spring turkey hunting world.

On the second day of the season, I was lucky enough to get a 19.5 lb. tom with a 9.5 inch beard.

I think the turkey population is in good shape this year, my guess is the fantastic acorn crop last fall was able to supply the energy needed to get through the long winter. Now we need a warm dry spring so the chicks hatch out and survive. ItÕ s all about habitat and food, and with some luck, good weather.

Turkey season runs throughout the month of May, so good luck to all you gobbler gunners out there.

lthough most college students have already departed campus, high-school students are still preparing for final exams. But with summer break looming on the near horizon, most students have been busy looking for the ideal summer job.

Fortunately, the Adirondack region has historically provided wide variety of unique summer employment opportunities for both young men and women.

After having the summer free as a kid, I took my first summer job as a teenager. Mostly it consisted of mowing lawns, raking leaves, cleaning up debris and planting hundreds upon hundreds of trees.

I planted more pine seedlings during the summer of 1968, than I have in all the years since that time. But the job offered me a chance to work outdoors, where I was able to work pretty much at my own pace, as long as the trees were planted.

The following summer, I took a position as a Junior Camp Counselor, which I thought would be pretty cool. And it actually was, until the campers arrived. All the free time we had previously used to hike and paddle, fish and swim was instantly replaced by hours of scrubbing pots and pans, clearing tables, mopping floors and emptying garbage.

After my first full week in the kitchen, as a Junior Counselor, I was simply too tired to think about taking a hike, a paddle or a swim. I also learned that summers are not conducive to working indoors, especially if the position includes any amount of time spent in a kitchen.

The following summer, I landed a job with a Trail Crew of the old Conservation Department, (pre- DEC). While the job involved routine maintenance at State Campsites, boat launches and trailheads; it also offered me a short stint as a fill-in Fire Tower Observer on Hurricane Mountain, which only lasted two days. However, it was the best stint of my short working career.

When the regular Observer finally returned, I went back to raking leaves, hauling trash and whipping grass at the State campgrounds. But IÕ ll never forget the two days I spent in that tiny, tin cabin with the fantastic view.

The following summer, I was hired on by the town of Lewis as a Life Guard at Thrall Dam Park. I was there for two summers, and served as the original Outdoor Maytag Repairman. Since the pond was so full of leeches, there were rarely any swimmers. But the final kiss of death came after the town decided to charge a $5 entrance fee. After the change, nobody used the property.

During my college years, I worked for DEC as a lifeguard at Lincoln Pond Campground, and also led backpacking trips, lodge to lodge bicycling trips and whitewater paddling adventures throughout New York, New England and the Carolinas.

Although several of those summer stints eventually proved career oriented; it was never my original intent. I took the work to have fun, and I just got lucky in the process.

Looking back, thereÕ s not much I would change, other than picking leeches from between my toes, or healing my wounds after battling a swarm of irate bumblebees that sought refuge in my pant-legs, after I mistakenly mowed over their ground-nest.

IÕ d do it again, if only for the laughs.

In recent years, I watched my children serve as naturalists, canoe guides, life guards and activities directors at a variety of local resorts and institutions. They also waited tables and handled a host of other positions, which included some interesting stints.

My youngest became a certified natural interpreter, and an apprentice falconer. She also earned a NYS Guides license and has become a highly competent fly-casting instructor.

Recently, while researching summer job opportunities, I was struck by the diversity of the positions offered, most of which span the entire the summer season from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Wildlife Conservation SocietyÕ s Adirondack Program and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation are currently seeking an Adirondack Bear Steward to fill a full-time summer technician position that will inform backpackers about the importance of using bear canisters to protect bears and ensure compliance with NYSDECÕ s bear canister regulations in the High Peaks Wilderness.

The position will also require stewards to conduct trailhead education for hikers and backpackers, administer canister loans, and provide regular interpretive programs at remote trailheads. or at the Visitors Interpretation Center in Newcomb, NY. In addition to Bear Stewards, the DEC hires over 600 seasonal employees at 52 public campgrounds in the Adirondack and Catskill Parks.

In addition to DEC positions, there are numerous sporting clubs and private preserves that hire on summer staff, including the Adirondack League Club, and the Ausable Club. There are also over 100 childrenÕ s camps seeking counselors, as well as a host of private summer camps across the region.

The venerable Adirondack Mountain Club, which operates Adirondack Loj and Johns Brook Lodge is currently looking to fill positions for a Front Desk Manager, Reservations Staff, High Peaks Information Center Staff, High Peaks Summit Steward, Johns Brook Lodge Crew, Naturalist Intern, North Country Operations Crew Professional, Trail Crew Member Volunteer Trail Crew Leader and a Wilderness Trip Leader.

You donÕ t need to be a budding ecologist to enjoy working out of doors, but it doesnÕ t hurt your odds.

In fact, fishing fanatics may want to consider the Brook Trout Habitat Restoration Internship thatÕ s available at the Tin Mountain Conservation Center in the White Mountain Region of Albany, NH. Similar jobs can be found at http://jobs.orionmagazine. org/.

When an avocation becomes your vocation, you will be paid to play at work; and it simply doesnÕ t get any better than that.
