By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ A group of area residents have joined forces to launch a new food cooperative in downtown Ticonderoga, which will provide organic and locally raised products.

Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-Op is housed at 111 Montcalm St. A soft opening was slated for last week. Manager Erin Kelley and other co-op members will be ramping up operations throughout July.

Kelley said she hopes the new store, which will feature items from producers such as Juniper Hill Farm and Bridport Creamery, will provide a boost to area farmers and improve the health of consumers.

Co-ops allow members to make decisions on operations, including about what items get sold. As questions about health risks associated with mass agricultural production have been raised in recent years, food co-ops have emphasized that community health and regional economies can be improved by carrying local products raised by small producers. Cities in Northern New York, including Plattsburgh and Glens Falls, support vibrant co-ops.

The idea for a Ticonderoga food cooperative has come a long way from when preliminary talks began a couple years ago, Kelley said. Ò It started with a board of two or three people,Ó Kelley said

Trio of events in village July 19

TICONDEROGA Ñ Demonstrators -- including many who kayaked across Lake Champlain from Vermont -- gathered Tuesday in Ticonderoga to raise concerns about the use of oil trains and remember victims of a deadly train wreck in 2013.

The event, which drew around 100 demonstrators, was held in conjunction with a slew of protests across the country as part of Stop Oil Trains Week.

Numerous law enforcement agencies were on hand to closely observe marchers as they moved from a

grassy patch by the Ticonderoga Boat Launch Site to the local Amtrak stop a few hundred yards away.

Event organizers sought to draw attention to concerns they have about crude oil trains threatening Lake Champlain and the communities around it.

It was also held to mark the second anniversary of the July 2013 train wreck in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, which killed 47 people.

The Bakken shale fields, located largely in North Dakota, has been tapped for highly sought after crude oil in recent years. Opponents say the use of trains to move the oil is puts communities located along rail lines at risk of hazardous accidents, like the

one that occurred in Quebec.

Meaghan LaSala, a member of Seeds for Justice in Maine, said in an interview that sheÕ s been working to organize demonstrations in multiple locations. She came to the Adirondacks on Tuesday to show regional solidarity. Ò Fossil fuels are harmful and violent to communities along every point of production, from extraction to combustion,Ó LaSala said. Ò WeÕ re here to say that weÕ re not going to let the oil be transported by train along Lake Champlain any longer.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Co-op Continued from page 1 last week as she whipped the bricks and mortar structure into shape.

The Ti food co-op has about 150 members who purchased $250 memberships. The money has gone to costs associated with developing a diverse inventory, Kelley said.

The co-op manager said the organization operates similarly to a grocery store in some aspects.

First, anybody can shop there. The co-op is also focused on providing quality customer service and a broad spectrum of products at a good price.

But the co-op is not driven by profits. According to its mission statement, the groupÕ s aim Ò is to create and support a community owned co-op that believes in the importance of healthy living.Ó Fullyvested members receive any profit back in the form of a check or Ò patronage refund,Ó Kelley explained.

Part of KelleyÕ s role is to go over membership benefits with people who pop in the store. It’s a role she got a lot of practice in last week, with many Ticonderoga Natural Foods Co-Op manager Erin Kelley stands in the new store in early July.

Lois Lewis, who resides in Hague during the summer, was enthused about the prospect of a new produce and meat outlet. She said it can be a struggle to find high-quality products at locally-based retailers.

Kelley outlined how the co-op, which will stock a host of fruits, vegetables, meats and many other products, would be staffed and run by its members -- all volunteers who will give time to stock and perform other duties. She also went over how membership entitles those in the co-op to special discounts.

Lewis said she was certain the co-op would be getting some heavy foot traffic as word spreads. Ò All my neighbors are going to be coming,Ó she said.

There are other grocery options throughout the Adirondacks, but Kelley said the new co-op has something special that will allow it to succeed. Ò What really differentiates us, besides being a coop, is our focus on community,Ó she said.

Co-op hours are to be 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Ti man and youths draw focus to La Chute dam project

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA -- Albert Powvorznik, 78, has hatched a seemingly unlikely partnership with Ticonderoga High School students in his ongoing effort to remove an aging dam along a portion of the La Chute River.

Powvorznik is a member of the Upper Falls Improvement Committee, which has been exploring ways to remove the socalled B Dam. It is located along the La Chute, a short and quick moving river, historically significant for its link between Lake George and Lake Champlain.

An industrial facility operated nearby the river for many years and contributed to the erosion of its natural beauty, said Powvorznik, who grew up within walking distance of the La Chute.

The dam at issue is just a few hundred yards downstream from a more modern-looking and functional dam close to Lake George.

Powvorznik sees development potential for this quiet section of Ticonderoga where the falls are located. The lush area,

near the intersection of Lord Howe Street and Alexandria Avenue, could be a scenic campground and swimming area, he contends. In addition, his vision for the area calls for removing rubbish and debris to aid the fish supply. Ò My big push right now is to get that done,Ó Powvorznik said last month as visited the river. Ò This should be an attraction.Ó In the spring, Powvorznik found allies in his cause through a relationship he developed with Ticonderoga High School. He, an art teacher and some students designed a rendering of how the La Chute would look like without the dam.

“We are very proud of the finished work and happy that we could help our community with this endeavor,Ó Ticonderoga High School Principal John Donohue said in a statement.

Powvorznik, whose advocacy on the La Chute has been featured previously in the Times of Ti, said he wants elected officials to work with a sense of urgency on the dam. ItÕ s important, he said, for authorities to communicate with affected landowners and put a formal plan down on paper.

Powvorznik, who has been showing the studentsÕ rendering of the water throughout the town in recent weeks, said heÕ s working to get the image on display at town hall.

Protest Continued from page 1 LaSala said communities and local first responders located along rail lines have struggled to find information about when trains carrying the Bakken oil come through.

After hearing speeches and music on a section of grass near the lake, demonstrators made their way to the train tracks on the edge of the historic town. Group members sang and shouted words of encouragement during a 47-minute action. Participants, and police, were pelted with a steady rain at times. Although interactions were sometimes tense, no arrests were made on the Ticonderoga tracks.

Many group members assembled and sat tightly within the train tracks during the protest. Others played jazz tunes and held banners reading Ò Earth FirstÓ and Ò DonÕ t

Joining the local police to monitor the demonstrators were members of agencies including the New York State Police, state Department of Environmental Conservation and the Canadian Pacific Railway Police Service.

Kathleen Guinness, who came over from Vermont, held a sign reading Ò Keep the Oil in the Soil.Ó She said she didnÕ t have a lot of political influence or clout but was hoping her presence could draw attention to climate issues.

Editorial

A rising tide lifts all boats

D

o fast food workers deserve higher wages?

A panel assembled by the New York State Department of Labor unanimously determined last month that fast food employees deserve a significant wage increase.

The decision has sparked a heated debate across social media about who deserves what in American society.

How did we get here?

In the wake of fast food industry protests, earlier this spring Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed the labor department to create a three-person panel to study fast food wages in the state.

While the group has concluded that an increase is necessary, they have not yet made their full recommendation as to how extensive that increase should be.

The board is scheduled to meet on July 13 to continue its deliberations before an official decision is reached.

From there, the governorÕ s labor commissioner will either accept, reject, or modify the recommendation.

One of the board members said the wage should be set at a minimum of $15 an hour, Ò the lowest self-sufficiency standard in the state.”

The other two agree that the raise should be Ò substantial,Ó but should not lead to layoffs.

Although it should come as no surprise that fast food workers are underpaid, this figure has sparked outrage among those who believe those jobs not to be worth $15 an hour.

Our question is: Why? Why should anyone who puts in an honest weekÕ s work have to struggle to keep a roof over their head and food on their table?

The board concluded that 60 percent of fast food workers are enrolled in at least one public assistance program. A significant increase in their wages would lift this burden from the taxpayers and place it deservingly upon the shoulders of employers instead who can unquestionably afford to pay it Ñ in this industry, at least.

For instance, the CEO of McDonaldÕ s earns $9,247 an hour, compared to the average employee wage of $7.73.

Why should those at the top rung of the fast food ladder force it upon the taxpayer to keep their employees alive while they hoard a mountain of wealth to which they arenÕ t entitled?

It has been proven time and time again in a litany of academic studies, including the labor departmentÕ s research, that New YorkÕ s minimum wage of $8.75 per hour is far from a living wage, and that, had the minimum wage kept up with the rate of inflation over the years, it would have increased to just over $20 per hour by 2012.

So, to those who maintain the argument that fast food workers should not see an increase that raises

their pay above that of nurses or military personnel Ñ youÕ re right. No one in the country should be making less than $20 per hour.

But they are.

Now is the time for a rising tide to lift all boats.

In previous decades, a family in which both parents earned a minimum wage salary or slightly above could afford to make essential expenditures such as housing costs, food, vehicle payments, insurance and healthcare costs, all with cash left over for vacations and non-essential purchases.

This stability is nonexistent for minimum wage employees today.

The wage board has heard reports from dozens of workers who say they struggle to pay these everyday living expenses at the current minimum Ñ which is set to raise to $9 per hour at yearsÕ end, although, according to the workers, this will be of little help in making ends meet.

Providing a living wage to our fast food workers, and eventually to all minimum wage employees, will endow the working class with spending power that will undoubtedly result in a necessary shot in the arm for the economy.

A family who once relied on government assistance just to put dinner on their table could afford to shop for groceries at a farmersÕ market rather than Wal-Mart, or eat at a local restaurant once a week Ñ maybe take a yearly vacation.

As it stands right now, these would-be consumers are making little contribution to the economy outside of essential spending.

Missing out on this revenue hurts everyone Ñ local business especially.

This increase is not charity; itÕ s what these workers are owed. It’s significantly less than what theyÕ re owed, in fact.

Lifting these workers above the poverty line will allow them to re-claim a middle-class identity, which, in addition to allowing for them to make greater contributions to the economy, would provide them with a sense of financial stability which would afford them more time for volunteerism and participation in charitable causes.

The American middle class is all but nonexistent, and its continued shrinkage will certainly be the death of small business, not, as some would suggest, the prospect of having to shell out fair compensation to employees.

If wages remain stagnant while the cost of living increases, no one will be able to afford to patronize small businesses, and the working class will continue to seek cheaper alternatives, further widening the seemingly endless chasm between the upper and working class.

We support this long-overdue increase to the minimum wage. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board, Dan Alexander, Keith Lobdell and John Gereau

Letters to the Editor

Down with greenie dictatorship!

To the Editor: The latest press release of the so called Adirondack council is pure bull. They continue to press for extinction of the Adirondack towns and villages by banning all jobs, businesses, and industry throughout the Adirondacks. They continue to demand the destruction of all private property and to ban outdoor recreation on state lands. They have destroyed our wildlife habitat and food sources. They are responsible for the poisoning of over 3,000 waters and the murder of our brook trout strains. Anyone with common sense knows that the pines and hemlocks of the forest preserve are causing the damage to our waters. Remember the tanning industry and what they used in their process.

They continue to lie about Article XIV verbiage which states that ALL forest preserve lands shall be WILD FOREST lands, Not Ò forever wild.Ó They continue to oppose all access to state lands by our disabled veterans, wounded warriors, elderly, and all others less than physically fit. They demand the entire forest preserve be kept only for their elitistsÕ greenie scum. They close all roads to lock the general public out. They continue to destroy the economies of the local towns, ban snowmobiling, ban ATVÕ s, ban horses, ban all access except for hikers, and ban year-round tourism. They oppose all jobs, businesses, and industry.

The time is long overdue to amend Article XIV and restrict all forest preserve lands to those lands above 3,000 feet elevation.

All lands below 3,000 feet elevation shall be returned to the local township in which they are located. The town shall decide how these lands shall be used, for recreation, jobs, etc. It is time our local officials and legislators stood up for the people who elected them, not these foreign greenie scum. Time for them to demand every cent in the Environmental Protection Fund and every penny of the Real Estate Transfer Tax be use for the betterment of their local community; NOT for purchasing more lands.

Time to restrict the forest preserve, abolish the APA, and allow the people of the Adirondacks to live and work here without this dictatorship by greenies.

More gun control?

To the Editor: This is a response to your PublisherÕ s Column on Saturday, June 27, News Enterprise on gun restrictions. If I thought for a moment that there was (and I wish there were) a way to put logical Ò headsÓ together on both sides to try to solve the issues at hand, IÕ d do it in a minute.

However, all one, that knows the facts, has to witness is Schumer, Bloomberg, and Hillary putting forth lies and misinformation thru the use of their power, to try to totally disarm us, and we know thatÕ s not going to happen. If we got involved with them we would certainly come out on Ô the short end of the stickÕ !

They are ruthless, bald faced liars-- period!

There are countless statistics and facts that prove gun control does not work. Just look into the C.D.C. That Bill Clinton commissioned to prove just that. When it came out the opposite of what he wanted, it was never published-- hmmmm?

The Federal (N.I.C.K.S) background checks have been in place for many years. Yet they are pushing for more background checks? Why? They have not done a thing to prevent these shootings or gun violence? The general public is under the impression that you can just go into a gun shop and purchase a gun -- you can not! Yet this stuff continues. Why, because they are not addressing the real issues. Guns are not the issue only one of many means to carry out the crimes. If looked into, you’ll find that most were illegal or stolen. Adam Lanza over in Connecticut, tried to buy a gun and could not. They lied about that shooting telling everyone that he used a AR-15 which he did not! The misinformation stayed mainstream news, yet the truth never did?-- Why? If you could totally disarm the general public, it would do nothing to stop these crimes. This is evidenced in England where they confiscated everyone’s guns and the crime rates soared.

They have some of the highest murder rates in the world!

It is easiest for a politician to appease the public by simply passing another law or bill, instead of putting the real effort into fixing the problem.

Back in the early pioneer days, with these brave explorers trying to settle an untamed wilderness, they were on constant alert from roving bandits and Indians who could attack at anytime, they kept loaded guns around all the time to protect themselves and their families. They didnÕ t have to go unlock a safe (if they existed of course) or theyÕ d be dead. There was no cry about kids and guns, because these kids were taught about them.

As strange as it sounds, we are worse off than they were. Due to just the shear numbers of people now and the druggies that would kill someone for just about anything to get more, or unscrupulous criminals who are just plain too lazy to get a job and on and on. We need to be able to protect ourselves now more than ever. Some drug maniac comes crashing thou the front door what do you do? Ask him to wait a minute until you unlock your gun? One of the biggest problems today is just the plain Ô ol lack of common sense. Too many people have lost touch with reality and are easily led by politicians.

The media is a HUGE source of one sided editorials and total lack of impartiality. It is so obvious to us when we see article after article and show after show all displaying the one sided argument at disarmament and attempts at more gun control, that they are being controlled by persons with the same agenda as the politicians. WhereÕ s the news thatÕ s out there showing where an armed patron stopped a shooting or saved someone? ThatÕ s not news? You may see it in a tiny blip somewhere but it certainly doesnÕ t make mainstream where all the negative part does.

As far as IÕ m concerned itÕ s very clear what I see and thatÕ s the brainwashing of America. And we are supposed to sit down with these people and try to work out a solution? This is the main reason we are not giving another inch in terms of more gun control.

We tried and all they want is more and more and to no avail.

IÕ ll end with a simple question: if gun control does not work (and that is a fact) why then would these untrustworthy politi-

cians keep pushing for more & more? Look back thru history for your answer.

Controversial ideas of right to bear arms To the Editor: The people of Warren County were recently given an inside look at the workings of a judicial mind. At about the same time, they were afforded a like opportunity to see the mental gymnastics of an editorial mind upon a similar topic. Both addressed the controversial subject of the right to bear arms. When one follows the Adirondack trails of revolutionary history, it is curious that both thoughts were produced among them.

First, the readers of the Thursday, June 25, issue of The Chronicle got to see a jurist construe a law with a bent towards a preferred interpretation, in disregard of a plain meaning. On the subject of unrestricted, concealed carry pistol permits, Warren County Judge John Hall, responding to a complaint of judicial legislating stated, Ò New York Penal Law Sec. 400.00(2)(f) prevents a judge from issuing an unrestricted license except Ô when proper cause exists for the issuance thereofÕ Ó (Emphasis added).

Actually, the Penal Code requires that such a license Ò shall be issuedÉ when proper cause existsÉ Ó Rather than prohibit, the law mandates; it imposes an obligation where there otherwise is invested judicial discretion.

Secondly, the readers of an editorial opinion in the Friday, June 26, Lake George Mirror were given a chance look at how an opinion on a legal subject might be swayed by philosophical leanings. Criticizing Assemblyman Dan StecÕ s vote against legislation that would mandate that guns in a private home be kept under lock and key, the Mirror opined that the U.S. Constitution does not guaranty a right of privacy commensurate with the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

The curious thing about both contentions is that they appear based upon a belief that the drafters of the Constitution, having just fought a long, arduous and bloody revolutionary war against a tyrannical government would have intended to create a new nation in which only the government would have arms, and the sanctity of oneÕ s home might be intruded upon by imperious fiat.

How is it that such thinking might be found upon revolutionary trails running from Ticonderoga to Saratoga? These thoughts are more in tune with an eastern European legal system where, unless something is permitted, it is not allowed. They have no place within the western legal system, confirmed by our Constitution, where everything is allowed unless it is prohibited.

The Constitution guaranties that the enumerated rights and liberties allowed among free men might not be denied to them by their government. Yet these thinkers would contend that those rights do not exist unless permitted by the government in the first instance, so that the government might also prohibit them at its will.

To such thinkers, there is no Ò proper causeÓ for the possession of concealed firearms, because the cause of life and liberty is not permitted. There is no right to privacy, because a free man is not permitted the sanctity of his home, let alone his person.

The people of Warren County do not often get such Ò inside the mindÓ civic lessons, and one might wonder what might be learned from them. If nothing more, perhaps they will search their own minds for the lessons of their Adirondack schooling.

Perhaps they will recognize how fragile their rights and liberties are against those who would confound and obfuscate, who would prohibit when freedom would allow.

No one came to EMS open house To the Editor: My child lay on the ground screaming in pain after falling from the tree. Ò My arm, my arm,Ó she cried.

I could see her twisted wrist!

We called 911 for the ambulance and for what seemed like an eternity, we waited for help. But no one came!

NO ONE CAME! This is a story. But a real similar event happened on June 22 and 23 when the Elizabethtown-Lewis Ambulance Squad had an open house to educate the public of their history (45 years!) and their future.

NO ONE CAME! No one came on June 22 and three came on June 23.

The gathering was informative and thoughtful of our times.

Due to budget cuts (2 percent caps in townships) and multiple cost increases, our superior ambulance system no longer is supported financially as in past years.

Yes, they will have their annual fund drive, and soon a flyer in your local paper will explain their goals and needs. But as a community, I feel we need to do more, in town budgets and our donations to prioritize this service.

The volunteers, who freely gave so much of their personal time, including the training and encouragement of junior members who are still in high school, keep themselves updated and educated in this field and are constantly on the go in their service to you and yours.

They are our family members, our neighbors, our fellow workers... our community!

So please consider deeper commitment for this service.

Keep your staff informed, not only through community fundraisers, but your town board meetings as well.

In addition, I would like to mention the squadÕ s high priority is to continue teaching folks in our community CPR and that they are always looking for new members.

For more information on the community CPR classes, contact Lisa at 873-2212. For more information on volunteering, contact Patty at car3ofa@gmail.com or 873-3699.

How is the weather?

W

hen we canÕ t think of anything else to jaw about, the weather is always a good topic. Ò Nice day,Ó we say when we meet a friend in the post office. They either agree or they donÕ t.

I guess IÕ m one of those people with a malleable mindset.

If itÕ s sunny and warm, Kaye

by Gordie Little and I get outside. If itÕ s miserable, we sit on our deck with a cup of Joe and watch the world along the Saranac River.

WeÕ ve had more than our fair share of rain this year. The riverbank and lawns are verdant and lush. The garden veggies and flowers are finally thriving without having to unreel the water hose to give them constant squirts. Greenery between our back fence and the river grew so fast and furious that I once again risked life and limb to chop it down after it began to obstruct our view. I did it when Kaye was at her exercise class so she wouldnÕ t fret. She has good reason. Those river bank rocks have been treacherous and I am not without the scars to prove it.

ThereÕ s an old North Country saying: Ò If you donÕ t like the weather, just wait a minute.Ó That has certainly been true this year. 80s one day and 50s the next. IÕ m always up by around 5 a.m. and Kaye is not far behind. Our steaming cups of coffee are sipped as we drink in the splendor supplied by Mother Nature. Flora and fauna everywhere you look. The Great Blue Heron (we call it Ò Big BirdÓ ), ducks and geese, ospreys and a plethora of smaller winged creatures that please our eyes and ears.

Of course woodchucks, raccoons, rabbits, mink, skunks and miscellaneous other critters add to the mix and often the grief. We love to hear the first birdsong of the day, offered by an overzealous robin on the lawn beneath our bedroom window. We recognize the chirps, warbles and whistles of many birds and love the cacophony their calls provide. Cardinals are favorites, along with the delicate and lovely hummingbirds. Who needs an alarm clock?

IÕ ve become a bit of a slave to my laptop. I combine the natural world with the digital world that comes from the ethers. Lots of people tell me they look for my little weather blurb first thing each morning. It might read: “59.4 degrees, tiny breeze at 2 mph, partly sunny skies over the river at 5:07 a.m.Ó The responses from hither and thither are almost instantaneous: Ò 76 over the peachesÓ comes one report from Georgia. “56 in Redford” comes another. One fine person even gives me the temperature from a thermometer mounted on the spare tire of her camper.

Somebody mentioned the name of Bird Berdan the other day. He was the weatherman on a local television station long before the digital age. He used a chalk board to draw storm clouds and didnÕ t know all the proper meteorological terms, but he endeared himself by being down to earth and humble.

One cold early winter day, he said, Ò There is a slight chance of snow flurries this evening.” The phone at the studios began to ring. He answered it during a commercial break. A womanÕ s voice chided: Ò Just thought youÕ d like to know that I have 6 inches of those snow flurries on my back stoop.” Bird loved that story and so did I. At our Ò LittleÓ house on the river, weÕ re less controlled by the whims of the weather man (or woman) than farmers and construction friends. ThatÕ s where the phrase Ò make hay when the sun shinesÓ originated. On bad days, Kaye and I make lemonade out of lemons and sing songs together when the rain falls on our tin roof. Who cares that we might be a tad off key?

My late mother loved thunderstorms and we often walked together laughing as the rain pelted our slickers and sloshed on our galoshes. She used to say, Ò Whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot; whether the weather be cloudy or whether the weather be not; weÕ ll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.Ó

Whitehall, Lake George to be featured in Animal Planet season finale Television crew comes to Lake George region to find Bigfoot

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WHITEHALL Ñ A recent investigation into the Bigfoot phenomenon will be the anchor to the two-hour season finale of a popular Animal Planet television show.

In the 10 p.m. local time episode of the July 12 Finding Bigfoot television show, a group of sasquatch hunters scour the Adirondacks looking for the elusive creature.

According to Hannah Sedgwick, a communications representative for Animal Planet and Discovery Communications, members of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) Matt Moneymaker, Cliff Barackman, James Ò BoboÓ Fay and Ranae Holland visit the Adirondacks including Lake George and the New York/Vermont border to continue their search for Bigfoot.

The season finale episode, titled “Bigfoot State of Mind,” airs as the second episode of the two-hour season finale.

Sedgwick gave a tease to the episode: Ò The team goes Ô squatchinÕ after hearing leads from local residents about cryptic encounters with Bigfoot himself. There have been reports of Bigfoot in the Adirondacks for decades with a particular increase in sightings during the 1970s. They investigate different areas of the Adirondacks to determine ideal locations for a Bigfoot refuge. The BFRO team decides to focus its search on the southern end of Lake George and Whitehall.Ó Whitehall has, for a long time, been an Adirondack epicenter of Sasquatch activity, according to researcher Paul Bartholomew, whose books include Ò Monsters of the North Woods,Ó and coauthoring Ò Bigfoot: Encounters in New York & New England.Ó Ò It is multiple sightings that put Whitehall where it stands as that hit spot,Ó Bartholomew

said in a previous interview. Ò The sightings are not just recent, but go all the way back to the Iroquois and Algonquians and their stories about great monsters.Ó Some of the most famous sightings in the town came occurred in the mid-1970s.

“In August of 1976, there were several law enforcement officers that over the span of two days recorded at least nine witnessed accounts along Abair Road,Ó Bartholomew said. Ò That became sort of the landmark sighting.Ó One of those people was Brian Gosselin. Ò HereÕ s what I recall: The thing was always standing on two legs,Ó he said. Ò And it walked fast. People have asked me if it had a neck. I donÕ t remember a neck. I remember turning on the spotlight and seeing those big red eyes and the hands that came up (to cover the face).Ó Gosselin said he has returned to the site looking for more evidence. Ò Sometime later, my nephew Greg Gosselin and I returned to the scene,Ó he said. Ò We walked from the paved road through the field and into the woods to an old, abandoned road near the Poultney River. ThereÕ s a lot of clay and sand back there. Near the river bank, I found a footprint covered with pine needles.

Finding that footprint was a coincidence. Ò The toe impressions were perfect; even the heel mark was good. For a human to make that impression youÕ d have to jump up and down several times,Ó Gosselin said.

There was also an account from Clifford Sparks, who said he had seen the same creature in 1975 at the Skenesborough Golf Course.

In 1982, late Whitehall Police Department member Dan Gordon had an encounter with what he believed was a Sasquatch. Ò We went just past the rock cuts just before where the county shed is, and it walked right out in front of us, leaned down almost as to look into the car, then jumped over the other side of the road and headed into the trees,Ó Gordon said in a previous interview. “At first, I still did not want to believe what I was seeing and even commented to my partner, Ô that was some bear.Õ He responded by saying, Ô you and I both know that was no bear.Õ Ó This will not be the first time Whitehall has welcomed a television show to its town in search of a Sasquatch, with both the History Channel and now-defunct Outdoor Life Network filming on-location for documentaries about sightings. Ò I have made nothing off telling my story - well, I guess I did get a free copy of the History Channel show,Ó Gordon said.

The community itself embraces the lore and legend, with both the town council and village board of trustees passing local laws in 2004 making the Sasquatch a protected creature within the municipality. There has also been a festival in honor of the creature, usually held in September, during the peak months of reported Sasquatch activity.

Anyone willing to share stories with the Animal Planet crew

is asked to email the producers at Bigfoot.Adirondacks@gmail. com.

Fort Ti unveils newest exhibits

TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga unveils its two newest exhibitions Wednesday, July 1.

There is object lessons of Perspectives on Material Culture and Diorama-rama with the History in Miniature incorporate new interactive components, fun for the whole family. The exhibits are included in a Fort Ticonderoga general admission ticket and are located in the South BarrackÕ s exhibition space at Fort Ticonderoga.

Perspectives on Material Culture offers a unique way to experience historical objects. Using objects from across Fort TiconderogaÕ s museum collections, the exhibit will explore the multifaceted perspectives objects hold. This exhibit will show how every object has many stories to tell, and will provide a new understanding of an objectÕ s value as a work of art, political tool, weapon, or all of the above. Have you thought of a canteen as a story of industrialization, rather than just a vessel for water; or a musket as a piece of art, rather than a weapon? Object Lessons will explore specific objects from a multitude of unique and informative angles.

For the Diorama-Rama In the middle of the 20th-century dioramas were state-of-the-art means of reconstructing the past. Living history historical interpretation was still young, film was expensive, and computer animation was a fantasy. Vivid three dimensional models could reconstruct past events, buildings, people, and things like no other media. Fort Ticonderoga invested heavily in such dioramas which have remained popular parts of the visitors experience for nearly half a century. The interpretation of the events depicted has changed, in some cases dramatically in the past 50 years, leaving the dioramas captivating but not accurate portray-

als of the current state of knowledge. The other Diorama-RamaÕ s History in Miniature brings together most of the museumÕ s collection of 20th-century dioramas depicting different periods in Fort TiconderogaÕ s history and different perspectives on historical events, giving a sense of how our understanding and interpretation of history has changed. ÒWh en the existing exhibits were installed nearly a half-century ago, they were intended to offer new perspectives on Fort TiconderogaÕ s epic story,Ó said Matthew Keagle, Fort TiconderogaÕ s Curator of Collections. ÒT he implementation of these two new exhibits will allow those objects from previous exhibits to receive needed rest and enable a new generation of objects to offer fresh perspectives on the history discovered in the past 50 years, while showing the breadth of Fort TiconderogaÕ s remarkable collections.Ó Fort Ticonderoga holds one of North AmericaÕ s premier collections of 18th-century military material culture. The exhibits contain thousands of objects and tell thousands of stories, narrating the history of Fort Ticonderoga from the military culture of the 18th century to the reconstruction of the fort in the 20th century. Fully restored in 1931, the South Barracks has been the museumÕ s primary exhibition space. The building encompasses three stories and nearly 10,000 square feet of gallery space.

Funding for the Object Lessons and Dioramarama exhibits were made possible in part by the generous support from Glens Falls National Bank, Amtrak, and individual donors.

To learn more about these exhibits and related programs visit fortticonderoga.org or call 5852821.

Initiatives aim to broaden access to fresh summer produce

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ As crops ripen in fields across Essex County, public officials want you to know that eating healthy can be both accessible and affordable.

A number of federal programs, implemented by both state and local agencies, are seeking to broaden access to fruits and vegetables from local farmers.

Essex County WIC is providing $8 in federal vouchers per month that can be redeemed at local farmers markets.

The state will add $4 per check through September.

Farm stands participating in the program will display a laminated WIC sign, including Cheever Country Gardens in Cheever. Ò WeÕ re just waiting for the vegetables to get ripe,Ó said farm co-owner Catherine Sprague.

A cornucopia of veggies should be ready for picking next week, she said, including zucchini, tomatoes, onions, peppers and summer squash.

What can you do with the latter? Ò ThereÕ s a 101 different things you can do with summer squash,Ó Sprague explained: Saute as a stir-fry, boil with butter or make casseroles, just to name a few.

A wealth of additional farms in the area are also accepting checks as part of the ongoing Farmers Market Nutritional Program, including vendors at the Elizabethtown, Willsboro,

Keene and TiconderogaÕ s markets.

Krista Berger, a WIC coordinator, said farmers tend to give clients a generous bang for their buck.

Charles Harrington, of Harrington Country Gardens in Crown Point, called it a Ò wonderful wayÓ for people to be able to purchase fresh products while supporting their local farmers. Ò I am an advocate for it,Ó he said.

In addition to offering seeds to families as an incentive to grow their own gardens, WIC has

expanded their pantry offerings this month to include canned beans and plain yogurt, among other items.

This is in conjunction with efforts by the Essex County Office for the Aging to distribute farmers market coupons to elderly residents and those who meet income eligibility requirements.

Outreach workers will set up a schedule and will let clients know a time and place for coupon pick-up, explained staffer Alysia Hayes.

And in another new development this year, selected farm stands are now eligible to receive WIC vouchers.

State officials say this will broaden availability for those who may not have access to farmers markets due to rigid schedules, for instance.

Farm stands have flexible hours and can provide other opportunities such as pick-your-own operations for WIC families, noted the stateÕ s agriculture and markets commissioner in a statement.

Henry Drinkwine, of Drinkwine Produce in Ticonderoga, said farmers have been advocating for the development for years. Ò Now theyÕ ve listened to us,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s a plus for all the farm stands.Ó Berger said folks are receptive to changing their dining habits.

An outdoor food demo in Schroon Lake last year saw the office showing how to prepare vegetable dips and recipes. Ò People had insisted that they hated radishes,Ó recalled Berger. Ò But by the end, they were asking, Ô How do I make that again?Õ Ó For more information on WIC programs, call 873-3560. To see if you qualify for coupons through the Essex County Office for the Aging, call 873-3695.

A variety of state and federal initiatives are seeking to broaden access to local fruits and vegetables this summer. Pictured above: Fresh produce is pictured on display at a local market earlier this month.

Get out ... and stay out!

F

or people who havenÕ t been paying attention, itÕ s time to get outside.

The summer season is already three weeks gone , and you need to take stock. Have you been out for a hike yet? No? How about fishing, paddling, biking, swimming or simply sitting by a lake and enjoying a sunset.

Have you enjoyed a sunset, a starry night or the evening stars. In the Adirondacks, summer is the most fleeting of all seasons. It flies by in a condensed fashion, wedged in somewhere between High School graduation and Labor Day, which arrives on Monday, September 7th. The summer season is tucked into a time-span of roughly, 58 days, but whoÕ s counting? At this time of year, the calendar simply doesnÕ t much matter.

As a youngster, my internal calendar was calibrated according to the school calendar until I graduated college. As an adult, it eventually returned to a scholastic calendar as it revolved around our childrenÕ s activities. It remained on a scholastic calendar status, until their college years were completed.

Fortunately, I managed to maintain an internal, natural calendar throughout the entire ordeal, adjusting with the seasons according to the availability of outdoor pursuits such as skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, trout fishing, hiking, skiing, hunting (grouse, deer, turkey, goose, rabbits, etc.) whitewater and flat water paddling seasons, biking, and of course, the camping season which is available all year round. Despite the brevity of Adirondack summers, IÕ ve always had enough activities to keep me occupied and out of trouble, for the most part. Apparently, it is no longer the case in many places, both rural and urban Recently, after reading research studies featured on the Child & Nature Network, I was disturbed to discover just how far modern society has retreated from the woods and waters. The findings are surprising and revealing. IÕ ve listed a few below.

On the downside: In the span of a generation, childrenÕ s use of space has changed from being primarily outdoors to indoors. It has also become increasingly adult supervised.

Children today are taller, heavier, larger, and weaker than in

www.timesofti.com

1981.

Young children are growing up in a media-saturated environment, and they spend less time playing outdoors than their parents did when they were young. Traditional outdoor activities have largely been replaced by electronic entertainment.

Conversely, nearby nature boosts childrenÕ s attentional functioning and access to parks and recreation programs can decrease the risk of being overweight or obese at age 18. Nearby nature reduces stress in children, and living within half a mile of a park may lower a childÕ s risk of being overweight or obese by more than half.

Outdoor learning improves long-term memory of course content and increases positive student attitudes. Natural schoolyards decrease stress, strengthen attention, reduce behavior problems, and enhance factors associated with resilience in children of all ages.

Youth report feelings of calm and peace associated with spending time in healthy outdoor environments. Older children who spend more time outside tend to be more physically active and are less likely to be overweight ChildrenÕ s time playing in nature and vegetation surrounding their home has a positive effect on their behavior and reduces attributes of ADHD. Nature immersion enhances creative thinking and problem solving in adults. Outdoor play nurtures creative thinking in nursery school.

Children’s connection to nature influences their interest in participating in nature-based activities and performing environmentally friendly behaviors. Direct childhood experiences and mentoring are key elements in adults’ actions to benefit the environment.

Adolescents experience positive emotional change after spending time in an outdoor educational setting. Access to parks and recreation programs decrease risk of being overweight or obese at age 18. Living within half a mile of a park may lower a childÕ s risk of being overweight or obese by more than half.

Outdoor learning improves long-term memory of course content and increases positive student attitudes, and youth report feelings of calm and peace associated with spending time in healthy outdoor environments. The research didnÕ t actually reveal anything new, as a pair of old school, outdoor travelers first revealed such truths more than a half century ago when they claimed, ÒI never met a human being whose humor was not the better for a walk.Ó ÐT he Joy of Walking, April 1942 and, ÒT own makes men contentious; the country smooths out their souls.Ó Ð The Gentle Art of Tramping, 1926 Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Fourth of July events end with dazzling blasts

Fireworks, music delight crowds across the region

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ A weekend of Fourth of July activities crescendoed with fireworks displays last Saturday and Sunday evenings, bringing showers of light to the Adirondack skyline.

Independence Day celebrations drew residents out to their favorite public parks, private beaches and other scenic spots across the North Country. With the official holiday falling on a Saturday, many people had the day off on July 3. Those who made it out on boats and beaches were treated to a glorious day of weather.

Festivities got rolling in the early evening July 3 at the Hague town park beach. Domonic Knight knew exactly how to find an ideal spot to crisply hear the band and take in a wide view of the fireworks.

Knight smiled as he sat about 20 yards away from the stage, alongside his son, Landon. Ò We always get a good seat,Ó Knight said.

Calamity Rocks, a local band who has played the Hague Independence Day celebration for several years, played classic rock hits. Ò They put on a very good show,Ó Knight said. While Landon said he enjoyed the music, his favorite thing to do on the holiday is ride a boat.

Other residents soon joined Knight on the lawn, singing along to cover tunes. Included on the bandÕ s set list were hits like Ò Margaritaville,Ó Ò The WeightÓ and Ò Folsom Prison Blues.Ó

It was Ò a perfect nightÓ to play, Tom Denno, a member of Calamity Rocks, said.

Pat Hintze of Hague said the annual event is a summer ritual that never gets old. Ò You get to listen to this good music, enjoy the beautiful lake and see the fireworks,” she said.

On the Fourth of July, crowds flocked to the town center for a celebration that included a charitable run, carnival rides and music. One highlight was karaoke at Bicentennial Park. Chris Hartley, a favorite among locals on the karaoke scene, enthusiastically performed John MayerÕ s Ò Waiting on the World to Change.Ó It was a bit of a farewell for Hartley, who will be relocating to North Carolina. He said he loves the annual Fourth of July celebration at the park, and heÕ s Ò going to try and make it back every year.Ó The music kept going throughout the evening in Ticonderoga. On Sunday, a booming fireworks display pleased the crowd after it was rescheduled from Saturday due to inclement weather.

Schroon LakeÕ s Fourth of July programming saw a jubilant parade that included a long line of local dignitaries, decorated cars and public safety vehicles. Hundreds of people who attended the parade pivoted quickly to the beachfront for fireworks.

But rain showers brought an element of uncertainty, with rumors circulating that the fireworks were postponed. Yet, somehow, crews adjusted to conditions and a series of bangs, and flurry of light, ignited the sky. Ò OohsÓ and Ò ahhsÓ could be heard all across the town, as well as a few sighs of relief that the rains didn’t wash out the fireworks.

Code officer: more Crown Point, Ticonderoga homes in disrepair

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Bill Ball, code enforcement officer for Ticonderoga and Crown Point, says he is Ò very concernedÓ about the increasing number of homes identified on a disrepair list. Ò The blight is bad enough, but the danger to the general public is increasing,Ó said Ball, who handles code oversight in the Essex County towns, as well as in Putnam, located in Washington County.

In a recent report, Ball told town officials there were 58 homes in disrepair in Ticonderoga.

Ball said in an interview last week that 17 of the 58 were probably in need of Ò major repair or demolition.Ó The remainder, he said, were for minor reasons like broken windows and poorly maintained yards.

For many years, housing and other codes Ò werenÕ t taken seriously up in Crown Point,Ó Ball said. An estimated 30 properties in total are considered to be in disrepair in Crown Point, according to Ball. Of those, roughly 10 houses need to be Ò taken down,Ó

while 15 or 20 should get Ò cleaned up.Ó Properties have consistently been added to the disrepair list since the housing market crashed in 2008. Ò People are just walking away from them,Ó Ball said.

In February, RealtyTrac, a California-based industry researcher, found Ò zombie foreclosures,Ó or properties actively in the foreclosure process that had been vacated by the homeowners prior to the bank repossessing the property, represented about 25 percent of all active foreclosures.

Ball said he and other staff members routinely inspect properties to ensure safety. Ò We make the determination that the property is unsafe and either needs to be repaired or removed,Ó he said.

Challenges associated with environmental regulations got some of the homes on the list, Ball said. Hazardous materials like lead and asbestos could be present on some of the worst properties. Other houses arrive on the disrepair list due to structural issues.

One eyesore property on John Street near the La Chute River recently caught BallÕ s attention:Ò God only knows whatÕ s inside

Former Essex clerk pleads guilty

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ESSEX Ñ William J. Morgan, the Essex town clerk who was arrested on a pair of child pornography charges earlier this year, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to produce pornography on June 26, the US Attorney’s Office announced on Monday.

The guilty plea is part of an agreement in which Morgan waived his right to a jury trial and ends one phrase of a lengthy federal sting operation that began in September 2014.

Federal prosecutors said if the case went to trial, the government would have proven Ò beyond a reasonable doubtÓ through credible and admissible evidence that Morgan used a series of aliases to convince minors to engage in sexually explicit acts through social media sites.

Court documents released on Monday revealed a wealth of lurid new details regarding the sophisticated operation designed to take unwitting victims through a labyrinth of perversion.

Morgan, 35, used at least four online handles Ñ Raven, Carson, Gabbygirl and Wheeler22 Ñ to entice children into sexual activity through live camera web videos.

While at least 16 victims have been identified by the FBI, itÕ s estimated that the conspiracy involved more than 1,000 minors throughout the United States and abroad.

More than 65,000 videos have been identified as being associated with the four websites that facilitated the exchanges.

The court documents contained excerpts of numerous explicit chats using MorganÕ s handle, including one with an 11-year-old female that took place on July 9, 2014 during regular office hours.

As part of the plea, Morgan admitted that the facts presented in the documents establish his guilt.

Morgan, an Essex County native who lived in Georgia before returning to his hometown in order to run for office in 2013, admitted in a voluntary interview following the FBI raid of the Essex town offices in January that he was a member of both websites and was aware that children were engaging in sexual activity.

A review of MorganÕ s devices later revealed a wealth of evidence that he frequented the sites.

Morgan faces 15-30 years in federal prison.

of the building,Ó he said. Ò It could collapse at anytime.Ó Town officials could file papers in an Essex County court to compel property owners to take action on the houses.

Ball said his counterparts in other Essex County towns have seen a similar rise in the number of homes in poor condition.

Many of the properties where concerns have been raised are ones where Ò the bank hasnÕ t really taken possession of itÓ in the foreclosure process, he said.

New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman advocated for legislation earlier this year to combat the difficulties associated with abandoned properties such as requiring that abandoned properties be secured earlier in the process.

Paying for demolition costs is a major roadblock to cleaning up eyesore homes.

An Essex County Board of Supervisors Committee last month advanced a plan to create a reserve fund to handle blighted county properties. Supporters of the plan say it could help finance demolition of hazardous properties that pose safety risks.

It would “definitely” be a help if some money could aid demolitions in Ticonderoga, Ball said.

DEC to enhance Chain Lakes Complex cycling opportunities R A Y BROOK Ñ Nearly 20 miles of administrative roads in the Essex Chain Lakes Complex in the Central Adirondacks will open to bicyclists beginning July 4, state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens announced.

Allowing bicycling for the first time is part of a continued effort by New York State to promote tourism in the Adirondacks, improve access and expand recreational opportunities in the Essex Chain Lakes Complex. Ò These new bicycling opportunities are one of the many ways to enjoy the outdoors with picturesque views of the Essex Chain lakes,Ó said Commissioner Martens. Ò Through expanded recreational opportunities in these exceptional and scenic lands, the surrounding communities will benefit from an increase in recreational tourism, a key economic driver for the Adirondacks.Ó DEC has amended the Essex Chain Lakes Complex Stewardship Plan to allow bicyclists and people with disabilities to access designated administrative roads.

Commissioner Martens continued, Ò These biking opportunities add to the outdoor recreation appeal of the Essex Chain lakes, which is already a great destination for paddling, hiking, fishing and hunting.

The stateÕ s purchase of these former Finch Pruyn lands

from The Nature Conservancy has opened public access for a variety of recreational activities by a wide range of users.Ó The administrative roads open for bicycle use within the Essex Chain Complex (see map) are: á Eight and a half miles of the Chain Lakes Road North from the Goodnow Flow Road to the Cedar River; á Three miles of the Chain Lakes Road South from the Outer Gooley Parking Area to the Cedar River; á Two and a half miles of road connecting the Chain Lakes Road North to the Hudson River/Polaris (Iron) Bridge Parking Area; á Two and a half miles of road around Deer Pond; á One and a quarter miles of the DrakeÕ s Mill Road connecting the Chain Lakes Road North to the Hudson River/ Polaris (Iron) Bridge Parking Area; á One mile from the Chain Lakes Road South to Pine Lake; and á A third of a mile from the Chain Lakes Road North to Jackson Pond. Ò Cycling is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities,Ó said Senator Betty Little. Ò Combined with the beauty and fresh air of the Adirondacks, it becomes an unforgettable experience that surely will draw more tourists to the Essex Chain Complex.

The great thing is that these roads exist. ThereÕ s no need to expend a lot of time, energy and money to create this recreational opportunity. As the chair of the senate tourism committee and representative of the region, I am hopeful this will be a boost the economies of our Central Adirondack towns.Ó Assemblyman Dan Stec said, Ò The Essex Chain Lakes properties were acquired by the State in large part to increase public recreational opportunities and spur related economic development in the communities of the Central Adirondacks. I am encouraged to see this vision and promise begin to develop. It is good for these communities and all New Yorkers.Ó Ò DEC Commissioner Joe Martens and staff continue to deliver for Adirondack Communities,Ó said Brian Wells, Supervisor of the Town of Indian Lake. Ò They have made the commitment for these lands to be available for all to recreate on and they continue to work tirelessly towards this goal, and I commend for making this happen for our 2015 tourist season.Ó Town of Newcomb Supervisor George Cannon said, Ò The opportunity to ride bikes on

the many miles of roads in the Essex Chain Lakes Complex adds another recreational activity for the public on this property. Combined with the many other recreational activities available, biking provides additional economic potential for this magnificent addition to the forest preserve.Ó Adirondack Council Executive Director William C. Janeway said, Ò Thank you Governor Cuomo and Commissioner Martens for opening some of the roads on the StateÕ s new Essex Chain of Lakes property for mountain biking in time for the July 4th weekend.

These lands and waters, now open to the public and protected as forever wild, are globally unique, ecologically rich and special. This action is part of protecting the Essex Chain of Lakes as motor-free, helping communities and establishing a snowmobile trail between the Hudson River and the Essex Lakes, while preserving water, land and wildlife for future generations.Ó Neil F. Woodworth, executive director of the Adirondack Mountain Club, said, Ò The Adirondack Mountain Club is pleased to support the approval of mountain bike and cycling use of properly designated state administrative roads in the Essex Chain Lakes Primitive Area in accordance with the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan.Ó The Essex Chain Lakes Road South can be accessed from the nearby community of Indian Lake and the Essex Chain Lakes North and the Deer Pond Parking Area can be accessed from the nearby community of Newcomb.

Amenities for visitors to the Essex Chain Lakes Complex may be found in both communities.

In accordance with the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan, DEC can designate administrative roads open for bicycling through the Stewardship Plan until the Draft Essex Chain Lakes Complex Management Plan is finalized. DEC proposes to permanently open these roads and trails to bicycles in the Draft Essex Chain Lakes Complex Management Plan which is currently available for public review and comment. In the interim, these roads will be open to bicycles starting July 4.

The draft plan may be viewed and downloaded athttp://www.dec.ny.gov/ lands/97474.html.

Public comments should be sent by July 27 to Corrie OÕ Dea, Forester, NYSDEC Lands and Forests, 232 Golf Course Road, Warrensburg, NY 12885 or e-mailed to R5.UMP@dec. ny.gov.

You can contact our Volunteer Coordinator at (518) 873-500 or by email at volunteer@ncspca.org.

Our featured pet this week is Bingo a Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie & Spaniel Mix who packs a whole lot of cuteness in a small furry body! Bingo is a sweet youngster of about 10 months old, with a reddish-brown and white coat and comiBingo cal speckles all over his smiling face. Bingo spent his entire life being chained outside prior to arriving at the shelter. He doesnÕ t have any idea how to be housebroken or even what to do when he has the freedom to run around! However, this cute little fellow is doing his best to learn manners - and he will definitely entertain you with his puppy playfulness. He needs a home with a family who has the time and patience to teach him to be the best companion he can be. If you are looking for a small dog with energy, personality, and good looks, Bingo is the dog for you. Why not stop by and meet him today?

Port Henry to host waterfront events

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Three events will come together for a day of lakeside celebration Saturday, July 19.

The classic celebrations of Champ Day and Moriah-Stock, along with a new event will take place throughout the day along the Lake Champlain shoreline.

The two mainstay events in Moriah will be joined by the Lake Champlain Antique and Classic Boat AssociationÕ s Wood Boat Rendezvous at the Port Henry Beach, pier and new Port Henry Marina. Ò George Maffey from the association contacted us with the idea of having a boat show in Port Henry,Ó Jackie Viestenz said. Ò We decided to have Champ Day and Moriah-Stock on the same day, down by the lake, and make this a big celebration day offering people a lot of different things to do.Ó The day of events will also give the village a chance to show off its new waterfront areas, many of which have been renovated following the spring flooding Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. Ò It is nice to be able to bring people in and show them what has changed since the storm,Ó Viestenz said.

The wood boat rendezvous will have boaters coming in between 10 and 11:30 a.m. Boats will be located on the slips at the Port Henry Marina, along with boats which may come by trailer parked in the DEC public ramp and marina ramp.

Craft and food vendors will open as part of festivities at 10 a.m. in the Power House Park, and events will be highlighted by the cardboard boat races at the Port Henry beach, which drew a lot of spectators and participants last year.

Those in the event can start building their cardboard boats at 10 a.m. and the races will start at about 11:30 a.m. Ò The kids seem to really enjoy the cardboard boat races,Ó Viestenz said.

At 1 p.m., the Moriah-Stock concerts will begin with performers from across the area playing on the pier.

For more information, call Viestenz at 546-9855 or visit the Port Henry-Moriah Chamber of Commerce website at porthenrymoriah.com.

Kutting Edge Studio set for grand opening July 17

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Kacie Peters said she has learned from the best.

Having worked in the Port Henry salon previously owned by colleague and mentor Carol Genier, Peters now takes the helm of the long-time, established salon business with the new name of Kutting Edge Studio. Ò She has raised me well in here,Ó Peters said of Genier. Ò Carol and I have always talked about this transition. It is a great location and a great atmosphere where everything comes together and it just works.Ó Ò She is super-excited and is doing an awesome job,Ó Genier said. Ò ItÕ s fun to watch her. She is a go-getter.Ó Peters started working at the salon as an employee under Ace Klip Joint and from there went to booth rental when the salon became Adirondack Hair Associates. She attended CV-Tech and brought with her many awards from competitions won while in school.

While ownership has changed, the entire contracted staff remains in place, including Genier (background in Salon Management); Diane Melin (five star graduate from Orlo School of Cosmetology); Staley Rich (former platform stage artist for Bain De Terre); and Valerie Wykes (high honor graduate of Paul Mitchell Academy). Ò While we continue to provide all of our current services, the bulk of which is color, followed by hair cutting, we plan on taking the salon in a new direction, capitalizing on services that include nails, pedicures, tanning and the newest color technology,Ó Peters said.

The salon is also looking to add booth renters. Ò It is a really busy place because there is no other salon in the area and we could always use more people because we are going all the time,Ó Peters said. Ò Booth rental allows stylists to successfully run their business inside a business, giving them the flexibility of setting their own hours and keeping their personal lives separate.Ó Peters will host an opening event for Kutting Edge Friday, July 17, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a raffle for a cruise on Lake George as well as giving away eyebrow waxes, combs and spray tanning discounts.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Kutting Edge Studio at 546-7717.

Photo finish, new records highlight Montcalm Mile Race attracts 450 runners

TICONDEROGA — A photo finish. An NCAA champion and runner-up. College AllAmericans. An Olympic qualifier. A new course record. Three sub-4-minute miles. A record field.

The 29th annual Montcalm Mile road race had all that and more July 4. Ò The Montcalm Mile has become a premier event,Ó Fred Herbst, race director, said. Ò ItÕ s exceeded all expectations.Ó The 2015 race sold out with 450 registers runners; 435 completing the course. They came from 23 states, Canada and the United Kingdom. Last yearÕ s race, which drew a then-record field, had 320 runners.

Alex Brimstein, Joshua McDougal and Joseph Gentsch pulled away from the field in the final 400 meters, battling to the tape. In a thrilling finish, Brimstein edged ahead on the step to win in 3 minutes, 57.4 seconds. McDougal was second in 3:57.6 with Gentsch third in 3:59.2. Ò It was an amazing race,Ó Herbst said. Ò The quality and depth of the field put the Montcalm Mile among the top road races in the country.

To have the race decided by 2/10ths of a second and to have three runners under 4 minutes is incredible. Track fans are taking notice.Ó The top three runners all earned All-America honors while in college Ñ Brimstein at SUNYGeneseo, McDougal at Liberty University and Gentsch at SUNY-New Paltz. McDougal won the 2007 NCAA Division I cross country national championship, beating Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp.

Eleven runners broke 4:20. Lee Gabler, a Ticonderoga native now living in Charlottesville, Va., was the top local runner. He was sixth in 4:10.7. Lee Berube, a Putnam native now living in Syracuse, was seventh in 4:14.9. Berube, who has had limited training of late while finishing his doctorate degree studies, owns the Montcalm Mile record of 3:54.

The womenÕ s race wasnÕ t as close, but just as exciting. Defending champion Sara Dunham of Peru broke her own course record, winning in 4:39.7. She was followed by Brenna Clark of Ocean, N.J., in 4:57.9 and Danae Polsin of Rochester in 5:01.6.

Other winners in the elite field were Heidi teRiele Karkoski of Ticonderoga in the womenÕ s masters race (age 40-49), Nancy Briskie of Schenectady in the womenÕ s veterans race (age 50 and older), Thomas Regan of Rochester in the menÕ s masters race and William Venner of Granville in the menÕ s veterans race. Ò The race grows in popularity every year,Ó Herbst said. Ò WeÕ ve had a record number of participants each of the last six years. The Montcalm Mile has become a great community tradition. ItÕ s rare to have an event that features elite athletes, recreational runners, children and families. It gets bigger and better every year.Ó The Montcalm Mile was again held just prior to TiconderogaÕ s Ò Best Fourth in the NorthÓ parade. For the second year it offered $2,400 in prize money to attract top competitors.

With a menÕ s course record of 3 minutes, 54 seconds, the Montcalm Mile is believed to be the fastest mile anywhere in New York and Vermont, outside New York City. Ò Our goal is make the race one of the most competitive events in the North Country while remaining a fun, family-friendly race,Ó Herbst said.

Sponsoring this yearÕ s Montcalm Mile were DeFranco Landscaping, the Ticonderoga Teachers Association, Circle Court Motel, Trout House Village, Ticonderoga Elks, Ticonderoga Walmart, International Paper, Treadway Motorsports, K&S Quality Meats, Kinetic Running of Plattsburgh, Altra Footwear, H2O Adventures Guide Service of Westport and the Times of Ti. The LaChute Road Runners has sponsored running events for decades in Ticonderoga while raising money to support youth running.

The LaChute Road Runners has financed trips for the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams, purchased equipment for the scholastic harriers, provided monetary assistance to teens attending camps and awards the annual Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. The club has awarded $15,000 in college scholarships the past 11 years.
