Car show revs up for next Sunday

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The television station which has served the Ticonderoga Central School District for years will now expand its scope.

Recently, a committee was formed with representatives from the school district, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Town of Ticonderoga and Denton Publications to expand the services offered through the station, channel 17 on Time Warner Cable.

TACC Executive Director Matthew Courtright said the idea was brought to him by Heath Towne, who heads the station through the school.

“Heath came to us to help spark a conversation to see how to get businesses more involved in school activities and the station,” Courtright said.

Towne said he first started to focus on the future of TiTV during tough budget times at the school.

“Three years ago the school district was facing a bad budget year,” Towne said. He recalled some of the difficulties related to a tax cap on municipalities and schools.

“This put the district in a very bad place financially, so cuts had to be

Schroon board member wants public input on broadband Official raises concerns about project timeline

By Christopher Pratt christopher@denpubs.com SCHROON — Not getting the type of broadband access you want in the town of Schroon?

Town board member Don Sage wants to hear from you.

At a town board meeting earlier this month, Sage said he expressed concerns to other elected officials

that state money targeted to improve the broadband network is not being released quickly enough.

In March 2013, Schroon Lake was named as one of many communities that would benefit from a state program aimed at expanding high-speed Internet access in rural upstate and underserved areas. A statement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office announced that the $2.16 million grant would go to a project to provide high-speed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the towns of Schroon and North Hudson.

Nicholville-based Slic Network Solutions was tapped to help spearhead the effort, which is aimed

at helping residents and small businesses get on a higher-performing grid.

Sage, who is a co-chairman of the town broadband committee, said in an interview that crews are “done and complete” with the land surveying needed to bring broadband to several sections of the town, including residences in Paradox. Surveying work is also finished around Charley Hill Road and Hoffman Road.

Those areas are “just waiting” for equipment like cables to be installed, Sage said.

23rd annual car show to offer expanded list of events Kid zone, live music, Crab Shack Cruise-in compliment annual show

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The weekend to celebrate all things automotive here will have new features for families and enthusiasts alike.

The 23rd annual Ticonderoga Area Car Show will take place Sunday, Aug. 2, with events being held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Bicentennial Park and in the downtown area.

The judged show is a qualifier for the SuperWheels Showdown competition. Over the past two years, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said the winners in Ticonderoga have fared very well in the next stages.

“The past two years, the car that has won here has won at the Boston regional event and moved onto the Mohegan Sun event,” Courtright said. “It shows our judges do a good job picking quality cars to represent our show.”

Judging for the show starts at 11 a.m., with a variety of awards given out at 3:30 p.m. including Best of Show Car, Best of Show Truck, Best of Show Motorcycle, Best of Show Display, one Super Wheels Prize Package, Chambers Choice, Fans Choice, Most Radical Engine, Best Color Scheme, Favorite Antique and Best Work In Progress.

In addition Top 25 and Fabulous 50 awards will be given. The first 150 people registered will receive a dash plaque and there will be a variety of special giveaways for pre-registered vehicles.

An addition to the car show this year will be the Kid Zone, which will feature a bouncy house and clown next to the playground. There will also be live music from Loose Connections from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“Our spectators come with their families and we have not had as much for them, so we are trying to add new aspects like the Kid Zone and the live music,” Courtright said.

The show will also feature an appearance from Paul Mennett, host of the NESN’s Cruisin New England television show as well as magazine of the same title.

“He will be bringing his Circle of Champions classic car display,” Courtright said. “He will be filming an episode for the upcoming 2016 season of his television show.”

The 2014 Ticonderoga Area Car Show Best of Show and SuperWheels qualifier went on to win in the Boston “I’m excited about visiting the regional event and advance to the Mohegan Sun show.

Ti-TV Continued from page 1 made. One of those cuts was TiTV,” he said.

As part of the cuts, Towne was moved from full to part time and the station was stripped down.

“The only thing left was the community information board that people would see scrolling across their television when they turned to Channel 17,” he said.

Towne returned to full time employment the following year, but the cuts to the program were maintained.

“I am still doing multiple jobs within the district in order to keep costs down,” he said. “As time went on I was trying to figure out ways to fully restore TiTV in order to give the community back it’s local programming and give the students a fun elective again.”

Towne said he got the idea to work with the chamber and others as the school’s representative on the PBS Education Council.

“PBS gets part of its funding from organizations and businesses supporting it’s content,” he said. “I figured if it worked for PBS, it could work for TiTV. I began doing my research and figuring out how I was going to do this. The first organization that came to mind was the Chamber of Commerce. Who better to talk to about businesses in Ticonderoga? Ironically, at the same time, the Chamber was discussing how to use the channel to help promote Ticonderoga and its local businesses. I gave Matt Courtright a call and set up a meeting.“ Towne then started contacting other groups.

“TiTV has always had a close relationship with the Town of Ticonderoga so it made sense to include the Town Board,” he said. “Chattie VanWert has made tourism and promoting the town a big priority so she joined us. We included the Times of Ti because of the experience in the advertising department. My skills are in video production, and not advertising, so it made sense to go to Scarlette Merfeld for help.

I guess you could say we were putting together an all star team of sorts.”

Currently, TiTV offers the chamber’s calendar of events as part of programming, which Courtright said was one of the first steps.

Cuise-In

On Saturday, Aug. 1, The Crab Shack in Crown Point will host a Cruise-In from noon until 2 p.m.

“We are looking at a schedule of programming,” Courtright said. “I believe this will be a great endeavor and partnership.”

TiTV also offers video from town board meetings and a variety of school events, including concerts and other productions.

“It is our hope that working with the town and chamber, we can utilize channel 17’s maximum potential,” Superintendent John McDonald said. “TiTV has been a great resource for the community and we will continue to work together to expand its programming.”

“The first priority is getting TiTV back up to full strength again,” Towne said. “That would mean student-created content, information distribution for the residents, and a return of an elective for kids who want to try something different from the standard class. The TiTV program has graduated a lot of kids over the years who have gone on to work in television of all levels. One former student even interned on the David Letterman Show.”

Along with the school influence, Towne wants the station to represent the towns of Ticonderoga and Hague both on screen and online through the YouTube channel.

“Both residents and prospective visitors will know what’s going on, when it’s going on and where it’s going on,” he said. “You wouldn’t think there is much going on in a small community like Ticonderoga but you would be very wrong. There is a great deal that goes on for all ages and interests. We want to make TiTV a fixture in the community. When someone says, ‘I wonder if the next concert is,’ they will turn to

Sunday, Aug. 2 Car Show, Bicentennial Park/Downtown Ticonderoga 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Hula hoop contest 10:30 a.m.

Kiwanis Duck Race 11 a.m.

Channel 17 and find out. When a parent could not make it to their child’s game, we want them to be able to tune into TiTV and be able to see every second of it.”

During the summer, Courtright said the committee is looking into expanding programming which will focus on tourism and other events.

“Fort Ticonderoga has already given us a video to use to promote tourism,” Courtright said.

“We hope to also involve the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism along with photographs provided by the chamber, highlighting the Ticonderoga Area and the Adirondacks.“ “So often I hear people say they didn’t know about a community event or new business in town,” Ticonderoga economic development liaison Chattie Van Wert said. “Our intent is to make residents and visitor more aware of what is important to them, what interests them and generally all the great things to see and do in our area. Ticonderoga is so fortunate to have this public access TV station and together we are working to use it to communicate more effectively.”

When the opening school bell rings in September, programming would then offer a balance between school events and community programming.

“They are staying school program-minded while adding new tourism, business, and com-

munity focused programming,” Courtright said.

As part of the discussion, a brief survey of community members was done by the Ticonderoga Central School to find out what improvements and programs they would like to see via TiTV in addition to the current school programs.

In addition to its television offerings, a YouTube page has been created for those community members and visitors who do not have access to the local channel. TiTV programming can be found at youtube.com/channel17productions.

“TiTV has been made possible for many years from the support of the school, the Town of Ticonderoga, and Time Warner Cable,” Courtright said. “The channel’s future is now being planned in coordination with those partners along with the Chamber, Denton Publications, and other community partners.”

Additional plans being discussed by the committee include coordinating with the Chamber, business/organization ads and videos, sponsorship opportunities, implementation of a program guide, as well as video’s from area events.

ABOVE: Along with its regular television programming, TiTV now has video on a YouTube account, part of an expansion plan with partnership from the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Ticonderoga and Denton Publications.

Remember the history of the rebel flag 21st Century Cures Act is a Bold Plan to

G

ood riddance.

The Confederate battle flag has been taken off the statehouse grounds in South Carolina. It’s been placed in a museum — where it belongs.

Last month, Gov. Nikki Haley, R-South Carolina, called for the controversial banner to be removed from the statehouse grounds, following the killing of nine black people at a church in Charleston. The white man accused of the mass killing embraced the flag.

“My hope is that by removing a symbol that divides us, we can move forward as a state in harmony and we can honor the nine blessed souls who are now in heaven,” Haley said.

We applaud this decision to remove the divisive symbol from a very public place in the heart of the South. But let’s also use it as a time to take stock of where we are in the North Country. Spend a few hours driving down a country road and chances are you will see the stars and bars unfurled on a residence or two.

The flag is seen by many as a sign of having a rebellious spirit. In popular culture, we have seen it displayed lightheartedly on the “Duke’s of Hazard” television show; Lynyrd Skynyrd and other musical artists have used it as well, conceivably meaning no harm.

But don’t forget the history. To defend the flag as solely a commemoration of Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War denies basic truths. It’s been used a rallying cry for segregation and white supremacist causes.

The flag was put up on the Statehouse in the early 1960s as a sign of defiance against the Civil Rights Movement. It was removed from the capitol dome in 2000 as an agreement between those who had differing views of the flag’s symbolism, but controversy continued to boil over the placement of the banner.

The Confederate battle flag’s popularity was also resurrected in part by segregationist Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. In 1948, Thurmond, who would serve as a governor and U.S. Senator during his long life, ran as a presidential candidate in support of “States’ Rights.” His run came after many southerners broke ranks with the Democratic Party, after a civil rights plank was added at that year’s convention.

Some defenders of the flag say its use keeps alive an important heritage of the South. But any thoughtful reading of history reveals that “heritage” is linked to a time when the United States was embroiled in a Civil War — which was fought over slavery.

Haley said she understood people would disagree with the move to take down the banner, but argued it was in the best interest of South Carolina’s future. The statehouse belongs to all people — whether they be white, black or another race. In her well-reasoned argument, Haley seemed to acknowledge the debate would persist in private organizations and in neighborhoods throughout South Carolina.

“We respect freedom of expression, and that for those who wish to show their respect for the flag on their private property, no one will stand in your way,” Haley said.

While this publication wholeheartedly and vociferously defends every person’s right to free speech, we also recognize that just because someone has a right to display the flag, that doesn’t mean it’s a wise choice. That’s why it is terribly disheartening to see the flag raised in even one North Country yard or above even a solitary vehicle.

Lest we forget the sacrifices borne by previous generations: The Civil War ravaged the United States with more troop bloodshed than any other conflict before or since, with an estimated 620,000 men perishing from death in combat or disease.

The shocking violence and heartache it brought was deep and wide, in towns of all sizes across the country. Roughly one in every four soldiers who went into the Civil War would never make it back.

Combat deaths and deaths by disease numbered approximately 38,000 in New York — more than any other state, according to research shared on the Civil War Trust’s website.

For those who were lucky enough to return home, from the Civil War, they faced returning to lives in communities where they were unable to work in the jobs they had due to an array of health reasons. Those soldiers fought against troops who carried the Confederate flag.

That is history worth remembering.

Again, let’s take solace in the removal of the flag from the South Carolina statehouse grounds. And we call on residents of the North Country who do display the flag to ask themselves if it’s truly a best way to display their rebellious spirit.

Open Letter to Donald Trump

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor: Dear Mr. Trump: Wow, you really have tried to stir up xenophobic enmity toward Mexican immigrants, legal and non-legal alike.

But I don’t understand that while you were at it, you didn’t mention another group that commits a majority of crimes in the U.S.? Which group? White males. According to The Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime, “Compared with assailants who kill but one victim, mass murderers are overwhelmingly likely to be male, [and] are far more likely to be white, and the numbers prove it.” So why, Mr. Trump, didn’t you take note of at least some of the white males who are (or were) mass murderers, serial killers, terrorists, mobsters, rapists? Here’s just quick sampling. It barely scratches the surface: John Dillinger, David Berkowitz, Albert de Salvo, Jim Jones, Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Caryl Chessman, Charles Manson, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Harris and Dylan Kliebold, Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh and John Nichols, Al Capone, John Gotti, James “Whitey” Bulger, Charles Ponzi, Adam Lanza, David Sweat and Richard Matt and Dylann Roof.

But wait. What about all those white collar criminals? What about some of the executives of bailed out banks, that brought the economy cashing down, for example.

Overwhelmingly white males. You never mentioned them. OK, a number of them got bonuses rather than criminals convictions, so I guess I shouldn’t mention them. And they may be your friends. Nevertheless you get my drift. What do you think we should do about white males in our country? Because they are U.S. citizens for the most part, of course we can’t simply send them back to the countries of their ancestors. We didn’t send Japanese Americans back to Japan during World War II. But we did incarcerate them in camps even though not one of them committed treason. So, how about putting all white males in encampments, at least until they repent? I know, I know, there are too many of them to do that, and besides, the richest among them are buying our government and our judges. So, Mr. Trump what would you do about white American males? Or rather, why don’t you stop negative stereotyping of Mexicans? And, just because I mention some white male criminals don’t start stereotyping white males either.

Bird Flu Devastating U.S. Egg Industry To the Editor: The U.S. egg industry is reeling from a colossal outbreak of avian flu, mostly among egg-laying chickens. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 48 million birds, accounting for 11 percent of the nation’s egg-laying hens, have been slaughtered for fear of infection during the past few months.

The effects are far-reaching, from how to dispose of millions of potentially infected bird carcasses to job losses and rapidly rising egg prices. More than 40 countries have restricted U.S. poultry imports.

Although the precise cause of the outbreak remains uncertain, the horrendous conditions in today’s factory farms make egg and chicken production extremely vulnerable to disease outbreaks, and therefore, not sustainable.

A number of innovative companies have stepped in to offer plantbased alternatives that mimic closely the taste, texture, and cooking properties of eggs and chicken. They are available in the frozen food section of every supermarket.

Many of us favor replacing polluting fossil energy sources with clean renewable ones. That takes concerted national action. But every one of us has the power to effect that same transition for our food sources every time we shop for food.

Lt. Gov. emphasizes balance in Adirondack speech

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul said Adirondack Park policymaking should be based on striking the right balance between preservation and economic development.

“The economy and the environment are mutually dependent — they don’t have to compete,” said Hochul.

The state’s second-in-command spoke Wednesday, July 15 at the Common Ground Alliance, the annual forum that brings together stakeholders from across the Adirondack Park to discuss ways to map out the region’s future.

Hochul hailed the group for their willingness to put aside their differences for the greater good.

“The common good is so much bigger than all of us individually, and that’s the beauty of what I see going on here today,” said Hochul.

Wealth of issues

The lieutenant governor’s speech came at a time when Adirondack-related issues have been burning bright in the public sphere.

Earlier this month, the DEC held a pair of public meetings on their plans for the newlyaccessible tracts of state-owned land parcels in the central Adirondacks, the largest addition to the Forest Preserve in nearly a century.

The proposed DEC plan for the Essex Chain Lakes Management Complex includes a new community-connector snowmobile trail, bicycle and horse trails, more opportunities for paddling access and primitive tent sites.

Groups are conflicted over a number of connector trails as well as a proposed new bridge over the Cedar River.

Another hearing will be held in Albany on July 22, while the public comment period runs through July 27.

For Invasive Species Week, which wrapped on Saturday, the

state opened 12 new boat decontamination stations as part of a pilot program designed to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in the region.

To cap off the week, the DEC announced a new action plan on Friday to combat aquatic invasives, including expanding the networks of boat launch stewards, developing new response frameworks to guide decisionmaking when invasives are located and identifying and evaluating the risks associated with the various pathways for invasives introduction into, and movement within, the state.

On the infrastructure front, groups like the Adirondack Council are continuing to push for cash-strapped municipalities to tap into new clean water infrastructure funds to replace outdated or ailing systems in their towns. Some $200 million will be made available until 2017.

$500 Million battle royale

Earlier this year, the state legislature approved an Initiative that will see seven regions battling for three $500 million pots of economic development funds.

Hochul serves as the chair for

the state’s economic development council.

While she didn’t discuss specifics, she did offer a highlight of the general goals that the North Country group has zeroed in on, including the creation of the state’s greenest economy, activating tourism as a driver to diversify the economy and broadcasting to the international community that the Adirondack Park is one of the most special places on the planet.

“I like the way you think big up here,” she said.

The regional councils will submit their progress reports and priority projects for the fifth round of the regular annual competition on Sept. 21, while the seven regions taking part in the enhanced competition will make those submissions on Oct. 5.

Hochul also stressed the importance of protecting and revitalizing local Main Streets.

Doing so, she said, will continue to draw tourists to support local businesses.

“Some of them are more vibrant; some of them have been spruced up… some are looking okay, and some are not,” she said.

Last week’s Common Ground Summit was the ninth install-

ment of the conference.

Noting the once combative tenor that once marked discussions between stakeholders in the Adirondack Park, Hochul said officials from elsewhere in the state are increasingly looking at the North Country as a model for working across municipal lines.

Being the birthplace of the wilderness movement, she noted, also carries a lot of cachet elsewhere.

“You figured out that united together, as one voice for this region, you are far stronger than being divided,” she said. “There was an inherent conflict, but all of you have come together and said, that’s not the way to go anymore — that we can do so much more together.”

CENTER: Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul addressed the Common Ground Alliance in Long Lake, New York on Wednesday, July 15. The lieutenant governor said it’s important to strike a balance between protecting the environment and economic development in the Adirondack Park. Hochul also hailed the stakeholders, a diverse group from across the region, for putting their differences aside to discuss the creation of viable policies in the future.

Camping memories

I

love music and enjoy a little trivia. As the years roll by, though, many lyrics have escaped me like a slow leak in your car tire.

When my busy head was searching for this week’s topic in the middle of the night, one word stepped front and center: Camping. So, let’s talk camping.

My troubled mind is more bizarre than that of the average bear.

For some reason, it conjured up an old song that the vast number of my readers will not recollect. A few history buffs will be humming along with me, while the rest of you are left in the lurch.

by Gordie Little It’s called “Tenting Tonight” or “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground.” To set the record straight, it was written by a man named Walter Kittredge in 1863 and became popular with Union Army troops during the Civil War. My late mother had the sheet music crammed into the piano stool and we sat around singing it more than seventy years ago. That’s what families did after supper.

It was a sad song about war and death and homesickness and all the rest. But, it stuck in my young memory and has remained there. My own tenting memories are far more pleasant and I’ll conjure up a few.

As a young lad, my brother Jim and I joined our parents in traveling to campgrounds in Beacon, NY as well as all the way up from Westchester County to the Mooers Campground here in northern Clinton County. The old canvas Army tents on wooden platforms had a special odor that is hard to describe. And the services in what they called “the tabernacle” were full of fire and brimstone.

Kaye and I have also tented with our family many times throughout our long relationship and marriage. I seem to recall spending a lot of time trying to waterproof the tent seams to keep rain water out. Once, at a campsite near Lake George, we went to sleep confident that the tent wouldn’t leak. That changed when I woke up a few hours later in a driving storm and felt for my trousers.

They had soaked up about fifteen pounds of water.

We scrambled into the SUV for the rest of the night.

From there, it was pop-up campers and they were only slightly better. On one memorable occasion on Cape Cod, I was jolted awake to the sensation that I was falling and ended up in my BVDs on the ground after the metal supports gave out under the bed. The neighbors cheered.

We spent over forty years at our all-time favorite place called Cole’s Creek on the St. Lawrence River between Massena and Waddington. Family, friends, music and marshmallows over open fires gave us magical memories enough for a lifetime.

Over the past 30 years or so, we graduated to tow-behind hard-sided campers with many home comforts. The sunsets there rival those we enjoyed in Hawaii and we have thousands of photos to prove it. Friends from the Plattsburgh area and many from other counties, states and Canada joined us each year for two weeks in July. Campfire stories, long walks, games of dominoes and hundreds of good books to read. How can you beat that?

While you are reading this, many of those same folks are camping at Cole’s Creek. We are not. It’s a lot of work preparing for the annual sojourn and we decided, after last year, to pack it in. We sold our truck and the camper and spend a lot of time reveling in the ambiance offered by our enclosed back deck along the beautiful Saranac River in Morrisonville.

Do we miss camping? Sure thing. As a matter of fact. We’re visiting our family and friends on the St. Lawrence right now for a couple days while sleeping in a nearby motel. The times they are a changin’.

Let’s all sing the tenting song: “We’re tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer Our weary hearts, a song of home And friends we love so dear.”

Putnam Republican Party sets November field

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com PUTNAM — The Republican Party in the town of Putnam has announced the candidates they will support in the 2015 town elections.

The GOP held its caucus Saturday, July 18, with six seats up for election in the town: supervisor, town clerk, two council seats, highway superintendent and justice.

The caucus allows members of the local party to select their candidates to run on the Republican Party line in the Nov. 3 general election.

Two races were contested. In the first, Nancy Treadway-LaVallee earned 57 votes out of the 84 cast by party members for the position of town clerk, while Darlene Kerr received 27 votes.

In a three-person race for the two town council positions, incumbent Kevin Hart received 60 votes to run for re-election, while fellow incumbent Shirley Randall received 49 votes. Steve Peters was six votes behind Randall with 46 cast in his favor.

The other races were not contested, as John LaPointe will seek a 15th term as Putnam town supervisor.

Gary Treadway also had no opposition in his bid for highway superintendent and Susan Johnson will be listed on the Republican line in the race for town justice.

Couple brings big changes to Brookwood RV Resort Facility sees improvements to store and camp sites

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Local residents, seasonal campers and others may have noticed big changes recently at a prominent Ticonderogaarea campground.

Buffy Vereeke and Mark Jacoby took the helm at Brookwood RV Resort LLC, 133 State Route 9N, in spring 2014.

Their vision for the approximately 24-acre site called for major updates to the store and an expansion of services to a diverse range of visitors.

They’ve focused on simple tasks. Fresh coffee is available. A sitting area has become a focal point of the facility. “We want people to gather in here,” Mark said last week as he meandered through the cozy store. “It’s those little things that matter.”

“We totally remodeled the inside” Buffy said.

Aspects of the remodeling effort included the addition of locally-made products and an overhaul of the store’s decor. Rogers Rock mugs and other memorabilia about the landmark rock have been hot sellers, Mark noted as he winded his way between customers. Children have also taken a liking to a renovated wooden shelf that holds throwback candies including Zotz, Gobstoppers and wax bottles.

But it’s not just the small stuff, the couple has also been hacking away at large infrastructure updates. They are aimed at making the facility more appealing to a wide variety of people, including the many cyclists who use State Route 9N. Mark, who spent time around Lake George, Paradox Lake and Schroon Lake, in his youth, devotes much time to landscaping and building. But he said the 12-14 hour workdays are worth it when he helps families connect with nature and each other, like through fishing, having fires or relaxing in the store.

After decades in other career fields, Buffy and Mark -- who met a few years ago thanks to the online dating site eHarmony -- decided to open a campsite. They have been steadfast in their education and research. Before acquiring the Brookwood site, the couple attended a campground operations course in North Carolina and surveyed a range of properties in several states.

The Ticonderoga property was appealing for its steady base of seasonal campers. In addition, it offered them potential to tap a more transient

customer base, and to bulk up the store.

“It really meet all our needs,” Buffy said.

Mark said he and Buffy are happy to be in the area. They’ve developed relationships with

local artisans, merchants and many other community members. In the future they’d like to make the campground a place that hosts quilting retreats and continues to attract more families.

M a r k added that a big focus of the couple’s business plan is to satisfy longtime patrons who continually come back to the facility’s roughly 85 campground sites. “They like to see every year what’s new,” he said.

Some of the camp-

ground’s staple features include kayak, canoe and nightly cabin rentals. One of the changes implemented has been to extend the camping season an additional two weeks on both ends, Mark noted.

A slew of cabin updates have also taken place to make them “more homey” and give them more of an “Adirondack feeling,” Buffy said.

The couple’s made some significant bathroom improvements and undertaken cleaning projects that have helped them reel in more businesses. For example, they take pride in a story involving a group of men who came up and then told the women in their lives of the vast improvements. “They were so impressed with the bathrooms alone, they brought their girlfriends and spouses at the end of the season.

That was a huge complement,” Mark said with a chuckle.

Down the road, the couple plans to unveil more updates -- so be sure to keep your eyes on Brookwood. “We’re going to be doing some unique things,” Mark said.

Single-vehicle accident in Johnsburg injures horses Reveals dangerous gaps in cell coverage

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — Four horses suffered minor injuries on Sunday when the truck pulling their trailer veered off Route 28 and rolled several times before coming to rest on its side shortly outside of North River.

Melissa Monty-Provost, a passenger, can’t remember what happened.

She must have nodded off, she said.

When the fog cleared, she sensed what she referred to as a “slow methodical roll.”

“All I remember is spitting out dirt — I must have clawed my way out,” said Monty-Provost.

The 2006 Dodge Ram was totaled.

The last horse was extracted from the trailer shortly after 5 p.m. The driver, George Weidle, pulled it from the vessel and gingerly led it across the road to a shady area, where it joined the others, all Clydesdales.

A worker with the pair’s operation, the Plattsburgh-based Country Dream Farms, followed with an armful of riding gear, which made scraping noises as it dragged across the pavement, magma-like in the severe heat.

“I still don’t know what happened,” said Weidle.

The horses must have shifted, he offered.

Traffic was snarled a half-mile in each direction as emergency personnel, including the Minerva and North Warren Emergency Squads, worked to extract the horses.

Monty-Provost and Weidle both suffered minor abrasions, while the animals will require some minor stitching.

A vet was on scene and the animals were later transported to the Circle B Ranch in Chestertown.

Monty-Provost and Weidle were coming from nearby Indian Lake, where they provided horse rides to state lawmakers as part of the Adirondack Challenge, the daylong state-sponsored event designed to promote tourism in the region.

Just an hour earlier at a lunch banquet in Gore Mountain, Sen. Betty Little hailed the proliferation of equestrian opportunities in the region.

“It was a nightmare,” said Monty-Provost. “It was a great day with no mishaps, then this.”

After she came to, Monty-Provost tried to call 911 on her cell phone, which is powered by Verizon, but couldn’t because of the lack of service.

She was able to call authorities, and later, support staff to help assist with the aftermath, when a passerby offered the use of her device, which was powered by AT&T. Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow, who was on scene, noted the two AT&T towers in his community and the possible installation of another in Indian Lake, according to FCC reports.

A half-mile up Route 28, Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells sat in his truck and waited for authorities to reopen the route.

He looked at his phone: No service.

“You really need to write an article on cell towers,” he said.

Four horses suffered minor injuries on Sunday, July 19 shortly outside of North River when the truck pulling their trailer veered off Route 28 and rolled several times before coming to rest on its side. Emergency responders tended to George Weidle (second from left), the vehicle’s driver, shortly after he pulled the final horse from the trailer.

We’re here: Young professionals sound off on issues, challenges facing Adk. Park

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — While green may be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of the Adirondacks, these trees are streaked with gray.

It’s well-established that the Adirondack Park faces a demographic dilemma.

The region is expected to experience a 23 percent increase in people 65 and older between 2010 and 2020, a rate 15 percent greater than upstate as a whole.

The same amount of young people aren’t replacing them.

It’s a problem facing rural communities across the nation. But here in the Adirondacks, there are strong undercurrents of youthful activity seeking to reverse the tide — if the ingredients can come together.

Last week, officials from virtually every sector from across the Adirondack Park gathered in Long Lake for the Common Ground Alliance, the ninth installment of the forum designed to overlook philosophical differences and come together to try to move the needle forward on sustainable public policy.

It’s an approach that has fielded results, say officials, most notably when it comes to locking in funding for invasive species.

Before the attendees broke off into their work groups, young people sounded off on their hopes, issues and challenges.

Ross Whaley, the former Adirondack Park Agency chair who is one of the event’s organizers, hoped their insights would resonate throughout the day as attendees hashed out their proposals and ideas, which would later be condensed into a two-page brief and zipped off to state lawmakers, many of whom were in the audience.

“Everywhere you go, people are talking about young people,” said Chris Morris, who works with the Adirondack Foundation. “It’s really important for rural communities to continue to try to sustain them and build the future.”

Community and career

Natasha Bristol grew up in Saranac Lake before moving to Philly to study illustration.

But it wasn’t the type of place she wanted to plant roots.

The Adirondacks called. But Bristol needed two things before she relocated with her new husband: Community and career.

“It’s always been a challenge for young people coming back to wrap their heads around,” said Bristol.

She found the community aspect in Saranac Lake, where the volunteer opportunities and local food movement appealed to her. Then came the job at Adworkshop, the Lake Placid-based marketing agency.

Communities thrive when like-minded residents get established and then open the doors to other people, said Bristol.

“Bring it on, bring it back and bring it forward.”

Hannah Gibbons has a similar story.

While she’s not a North Country native like Bristol, Gibbons spent the summers in Old Forge before making the decision to relocate here.

Lake Placid resident Marc Galvin addresses officials at the Common Ground Alliance forum in Long Lake on Wednesday, July 15. Young people want to stay in the Adirondack Park, said a panel of young professionals. It’s just a matter of providing opportunities and keeping communities vibrant.

Photo by Pete DeMola

After graduating from SUNY ESF, Gibbons landed a job as an intern at Great Camp Sagamore and is now the facility’s program manager.

The job is a great fit that ties together history, cultural and environmental issues, she said.

Gibbons, 26, lives in Long Lake with her partner, who teaches English in Tupper Lake.

They’re now trying to immerse themselves in the local community and trying to meet more like-minded people.

How can the community be more welcoming?

Continued revitalization efforts that will keep communities humming along with yearround diverse economies.

“Revitalization of small town economies is huge,” said Gibbons. “There’s definitely a push going on that’s noticeable in Tupper Lake.”

This, in turn, will ensure sustainability of local schools, said Gibbons.

Challenges

Gibbons conceded that she and her partner are lucky to both have jobs within their fields.

Seventy percent of grads from Adirondackarea colleges want to stay in the region, according to a report released earlier this month by the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages.

Top draws include the natural beauty, open space, recreational activities and safe, small communities.

But it won’t happen without good-paying jobs.

That took the top slot when survey takers were asked to name up to three things Adirondack communities must improve in order to retain and attract more young people to live here full-time.

Second was more year-round cultural, social and entertainment options, while improved internet and cell coverage came in third.

Marin George, 26, said that the Adirondacks has a unique pull on young people, many of whom take jobs in the service industry in order to continue living here.

“There’s a great community in the Adirondacks,” said George. “And the beauty of this place — there’s mountains, there’s lakes and

there’s forests. It really attracts a certain type of person who appreciates being in this Park.”

George is employed by the Adirondack Council, where she is their conservation fellow.

She works with Nicole LaBarge, who is this year’s Clarence Petty Intern.

The internship expires this fall and LaBarge is actively exploring opportunities to live here for the long-term.

LaBarge, who attended Hamilton College, senses there are opportunities in her field — environmental science — but locating them is a challenge, in part, because of the lack of job fairs, forums and overall conduits between employers and young people.

LaBarge said it might be challenging for employers, too.

“They’d probably really like to have young people working for them,” she said.

George said she wanted to see elected officials do more to help entrepreneurs at the political level.

Perhaps they can assist young people access the grants that coincide with their ideals, she said, be they local food initiatives or assistance in obtaining micro grants that will allow them to launch successful businesses.

“I think that would inspire a lot more young people to stay in the area,” said George.

A representative from Point Positive, the Saranac Lake-based organization that pairs angel investors with entrepreneurs, raised his hand: “We could use both more entrepreneurs coming to us seeking money,” he said, plugging the website: pointpositiveadk.com.

Grassroots

One resource for George has been the TriLakes Young Professionals, which holds regular meetings to discuss initiatives and challenges.

“It’s amazing to see the amount of young people in their 20s and 30s getting together,” said George.

Marc Galvin, 39, cited a group that meets in Lake Placid each month to discuss the challenges facing the community as a generation of movers and shakers begins to ease out of the business world.

Galvin, a Syracuse native who owns the

Bookstore Plus with his wife, said the group is trying to work with a lot of different initiatives to maintain Lake Placid’s future.

“A good core of young professionals,” he said. “I can see that as making a positive impact in the near future.”

Morris, the Adirondack Foundation staffer, acknowledged it’s true that young people in rural areas like the Adirondacks have been moving at a greater rate than coming back.

But it’s a fact that people tend to bemoan instead of looking at possible solutions.

Old Forge, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid are becoming small hotbeds of youthful activity.

“I think we need to look at what’s working there and understand why those people are choosing to live in those communities,” said Morris, noting that small businesses constituted their backbones.

Both Whaley and Morris noted their absence — due to busy summertime schedules — at today’s forum alongside another invaluable cohort of young people who are galvanizing communities across the North Country.

Young farmers.

Pushing deeper

Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells expressed a desire to attract some of these transplants deeper into the Adirondack Park, places like Wells and Morehouse, small towns in Hamilton County.

The lack of affordable housing is a critical issue that needs to be addressed, he said, echoing people like George, who said she had difficulty locking in somewhere to live.

“That’s a direction people need to hear more from,” said Wells.

In Indian Lake, volunteer services are taking a hit because the town doesn’t have enough young people to serve on emergency squads.

Attracting them, which will also keep the schools healthy, is a “chicken or the egg”-type scenario when it comes to jobs and housing: You have to have good jobs so people can home here, said Wells, but there are only so many homes.

“Once you remove lake access, it makes the pot even smaller,” he said.

Fort launches family opportunities, activities TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga launches exciting new opportunities for families visiting the site in July and August.

The new Family Guided Tour will lead families through the fort grounds and provide an overview for all of the exciting things to do during a visit at 10:40 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. In addition to the tour, Fort Ticonderoga’s ongoing Family Program gives families a chance to work together to complete tasks as they explore Fort Ticonderoga, and receive rewards for helping the soldiers with their daily duties. The interactions will inspire creativity and make history come alive.

Utilizing Fort Ticonderoga’s historic trades program, the new Family Program gives children a hands-on, immersive opportunity to learn about the life of a soldier in New France. They will begin their adventure in the “Officer of the Day Room” where they can make a cocked hat and receive directions on how to proceed to the rest of the posts. Children and adults alike will be able to cut and sew a Canadian tuque and sash, construct a leather slit pouch, receive a ration of split peas, learn how soldiers cleaned and maintained their 18th-century weapons, and so much more.

Rewards ranging from a cockade button for someone’s hat to fatigue pay in Canadian Paper Script from New France will be given to participating families. The more tasks people complete, the more rewards they receive.

This program offers children a unique opportunity to work closely with our talented historic trades staff. Spending time with artificers, working side by side with them, and learning how to work with the materials is an experience that will have a lasting impact on participating individuals. Families will have

the opportunity to join together to see what it was like to be a soldier in New France, and take home tangible memories of the experience.

The Family Program and Family Guided Tours are just two ways for families to make the most out of a visit to Fort Ticonderoga. Take a family hike on the Carillon Battlefield Trail and try the Archaeology Quest Scavenger Hunt Game, rent canoes and make use of our Waterways Trail Guide, or pick up a Fort Ticonderoga Family Scavenger Hunt at Guest Services and work together to solve the mysteries behind the history of the Ticonderoga Peninsula.

Local singers to perform in Mineville

By Keith Lobdell 518-873-6368

keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — Two up-and-coming recording artist with ties to the area are joining forces on a new song, which will be debuted at their Aug. 8 joint concert.

Joe McGinness, a Moriah native, and Ashley Sofia from Ticonderoga, who have received national acclaim and success as singer/songwriters, will perform together at the Mineville VFW Aug. 8, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and concert taking place at 8 p.m. Tickets for the all ages show will be $10 at the door, and include a meet-and-greet following the show.

The two artists started working together through a local radio station benefit.

“Ashley and I met at a few benefits for the Big Change Round Up for Kids in February and ever since we have been collaborating and have become great friends,” McGinness said. We are both also very lucky to have our music played in constant rotation on 98.9.”

McGinness said once the two started to work together, the idea of a joint concert became natural.

“With both of us growing up in the same area and both loving music it became obvious that we should work together,” he said.

“We’ve had many people over the past year or two insist that we do a concert together and now they don’t have to ask anymore.”

The concert will feature sets from both artists, as well as the debut of their new song.

“We will be debuting our New duet live at the concert which will be recorded and sent to radio as well,” McGinness said.

Local musicians Joe McGinness (above) and Ashley Sofia (below) will perform at the Mineville VFW Saturday, Aug. 8, where they will debut a new duet performance.

Historic Grounds brings coffeehouse atmosphere to Whitehall food scene

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com WHITEHALL — What started as a small coffeehouse idea has turned into breakfast and lunch offerings seven days a week in Whitehall.

Which also may be expanding.

Nat Huntington, proprietor of Historic Grounds on Main Street, housed in the 1906 building which was the First National Bank of Whitehall (and most recently City Steak and Seafood), said he started the business as a place for coffee and light desserts.

“People wanted a breakfast place, as well,” Huntington said. “I liked the building and this was something that I had always wanted to do, so we took the chance. It has been going really well so far and the community has been really supportive.”

Now, Historic Grounds offers a daily “American” break-

fast menu and lunch offerings, including sandwiches, homemade soups and fresh salads.

They have also expanded their services to attract local concert-goers.

“We offer coffee, cold drinks and desserts on Friday evenings during the concert in the park series,” Huntington said.

“Eventually, we will try to do one night a month as an open mic night.”

Huntington, along with his wife, Nancy, came up with the name of Historic Grounds as both a play on the coffeehouse setting as well as an homage to the historic nature of the town of Whitehall, birthplace of the United States Navy.

“I like all things history, so we decorated with old pictures to show what Whitehall used to look like,” he said.

While offering meals, Huntington said the business still keeps the coffeehouse feel.

“I wanted to have a place where people felt they could come, meet people and visit, and not just be here for the food,” he said.

Historic Grounds is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m., and Fridays until 8 p.m. through the summer

Concerts in the Park series.

Fife, Drums to perform at Fort Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA — Experience martial music at its best at Fort Ticonderoga Saturday, July 25, during the Fife and Drum Corps Muster. From the American Revolution, to the Civil War, to modern commemoration, learn about the practical purpose of fifes and drums. Enjoy the stirring rhythms and tunes of these classic marches and camp songs. Admission to the Fife and Drum Corps Muster is included in a Fort Ticonderoga general admission ticket. A special evening Twilight Fife and Drum Corps Concert will be presented on the Fort parade ground at 7

p.m. Tickets for the evening program are $10, children four years and younger are free and Members of Fort Ticonderoga are free.

To learn more about the event visit fortticonderoga.org or call 585-2821.

The Fife and Drum Corps Muster will highlight several Fife and Drum Corps from across the northeast performing throughout the day as well as performances from current and former Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps members.

“The Fife & Drum Corps Muster highlights the role Fife and Drum music has played in the commemoration of American history. Fife and Drum Corps gained increased popularity during the American bicenten-

nial celebrations,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga President and CEO. “In 18th-century military life, fifes and drums served as one of the primary modes of battlefield communication and camp regulation.”

Fort Ticonderoga formed its first Fife and Drum Corps in 1926 on the eve of the 150th anniversary celebrations of American Independence. The Corps performed at the Fort each summer until the beginning of World War II. When the World’s Fair came to New York City in 1939, the Fife and Drum Corps was a featured performer on May 10, Fort Ticonderoga Day celebrating the 164th anniversary of the capture of the Fort by Ethan Allen, Benedict Arnold and the

Green Mountain Boys.

In 1973, in preparation for the bicentennial, Fort Ticonderoga revived the Fife and Drum Corps to perform daily during the museum campus’ summer season. The Fife and Drum Corps has performed every year since and has been featured performers at many major public events including the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games, the christening of the US Navy Guided Missile Cruiser USS Ticonderoga CG-47, and several Evacuation Day parades in Boston, Massachusetts.

Today the Fort Ticonderoga Fife and Drum Corps is comprised of Ticonderoga area high school students who are paid employees of Fort Ticonderoga, an independent not-for-profit educational organization. The Fife and Drum Corps is part of Fort Ticonderoga’s Interpretive Department whose focus brings to life Fort Ticonderoga’s specific history through daily interpretive programs, historic trades and special events.

Every day is an event at Fort Ticonderoga and every year is a new experience. Visit FortTiconderoga.org for a full list of ongoing programs or call 585-2821.

Judge to hand down Frontier Town decision within 30 days

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The future of Frontier Town may be determined within 30 days following the presentation of oral arguments in state supreme court on Friday.

Judge Robert J. Muller said he has enough information to make a ruling within a month to settle the long-simmering issue, which ignited last spring when the former wild west theme park was put on the auction block at a county tax sale.

Essex County lawmakers rejected the bid of a Keeseville businessman, the late George Moore, on the grounds that it did not meet the minimum reserve of $140,000 in back taxes owed on the property, which is located off Exit 29 on the Northway.

County lawmakers then opted to sell the collection of parcels to the town of North Hudson, where officials there said it would be critical to future economic development plans, including snowmobiling and equestrian opportunities.

Moore subsequently sued the county and the town of North Hudson on the grounds that the county acted illegally when they denied his bid.

Despite North Hudson voters rejecting the purchase of the property with town funds through a permissive referendum last fall, and Moore’s death in April, the lawsuit has continued.

At the center of the suit is general municipal law 72-h, the section of state law that governs the sale, lease and transfer of public lands from one municipality to another.

Essex County Attorney Dan Manning argued the county retained the right to convey the property to North Hudson without getting full market value based on that mechanism.

Moore’s attorney, Bill Russell, argued that 72-h doesn’t apply to this situation and that county officials acted “illegally, capriciously and arbitrarily” in their interpretation of the law.

On Friday, Russell also alleged that North Hudson officials, including supervisor Ron Moore, worked in cahoots with the county to hand over the property, something that was both outside of the law and a breach of their fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers.

“They have to take care of the betterment of the people they represent as opposed to their own status,” said Russell of elected officials.

Manning said the use of public land to grow the economy can also be interpreted as county officials fulfilling their fiduciary duty to taxpay-

ers.

Furthermore, he said, Russell’s petition doesn’t demonstrate fraud or collusion, but rather a subjective opinion.

“There’s a paucity of any factual allegations showing impropriety,” said Manning.

George Moore’s original bid on the heavily wooded acreage was $49,500. North Hudson later offered $60,000 plus one-third over the selling price if they elected to later sell the property.

Russell, citing email exchanges between town and county officials, referred to it as an illegal act, one that exhibited collusion and favoritism.

“I don’t believe they have the power to do what they did,” said Russell. “The government is not supposed to compete with the private sector.”

Manning said the standard of the law is whether a municipality had a rational basis for making their decision.

Town and county officials acted rationally, argued Manning, because from November 2013 to April 2014, the issue was discussed many times at both the town and county level.

“It was thoroughly vetted and discussed,” said Manning.

The county needs to retain the right to subject bids to board approval as a necessary precaution to protect the integrity of future tax actions, he added, especially if there’s a red flag.

Russell said Muller’s ruling could possibly set a precedent for the interpretation of 72-h.

“There’s no previous court opinions on interpreting [72-h] under these circumstances and I think it’s a very slippery slope,” said Russell during his closing argument. “We ask that you

can throw some sand on it for some clarity.”

“Maybe we’ll just use salt and melt it away,” said Muller.

Moore, the North Hudson supervisor, declined to comment on specifics following the hearing.

“I remain hopeful that this will work out for everybody,” he said.

30 DAYS: The future of Frontier Town came before the state supreme court on Friday, July 10 when litigants in a lawsuit delivered oral arguments before Hon. Robert J. Muller in Elizabethtown. Muller said he expects to reach a decision within 30 days as to if Essex County acted improperly, as a lawsuit filed by the late George Moore claims, when they decided to decline Moore’s bid for the former theme park at a tax auction and instead sell it to North Hudson.

Strand opens movie season with dinosaurs of ‘Jurassic World’ Schroon Lake venue is showing films again after equipment upgrade

By Christopher Pratt

christopher @denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — It’s fixing up to be a blockbuster of a season at a historic movie theatre in Schroon Lake.

The Strand Theatre kicked off its set of summer movies last week with “Jurassic World.”

The first showing on July 17 was greeted with a heightened degree of enthusiasm, as the venue took a hiatus from showing films last year due to equipment issues.

In 2013, a group of local residents embarked on a successful campaign to “Save the Strand.” The effort helped raise money to help install a digital projection system needed to keep pace with the movie industry’s evolution of equipment.

A big crowd was on hand for the first showing of the adventure film, which is the fourth in a series centered around a theme park full of functioning dinosaurs.

“To us it’s like the crown jewel of our town is back,” Tammy Whitty-Brown, executive director of the Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, said.

Seeing the cinema switch from the old film reels to digital equipment was a transition that the facility had to undergo to continue showing modern pictures. But the theatre, which has operated for at least seven decades, continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia from the local community.

If the theatre is out of commission, “it’s like a piece of us is missing,” said Whitty-Brown, who recalled seeing pictures there during her youth. “We’re very happy to have her back up and running.”

“Jurassic World” was produced by filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Last month it became the first movie ever to gross over $500 million in its opening weekend, according to the Guinness Word Records website.

Show times at the Strand are slated for 8 p.m. every evening, according to the theatre’s phone message. A schedule about what films will show for the rest of the season are being firmed up.

Attempts to reach theatre officials by phone for details about other movies in the works were unsuccessful.

The Strand Theatre in Schroon Lake debuted its 2015 movie season last week by showing “Jurassic World.”

Broadband Continued from page 1 A major concern of his is that not enough progress is being made during the summer construction season, Sage said. “That’s where the hang-up came in.”

Sage said he’s been in touch with state Assemblyman Dan Stec and state Sen. Betty Little about his concerns. They’ve asked for more information, said Sage, who has set out to compile documents, including written testimony about Internet-related issues that businesses and residents are facing. His plan is to pass that

information along to the state legislators.

The challenges of slower Internet service range from the inconvenient to more serious hardships that can affect health and finances. For example, small business owners are probably losing out on sales due to difficulties associated with older equipment. “People are still having to rely on dial-up,” Sage said.

Time Warner Cable serves businesses and residences located along Main Street, or U.S. Route 9, in Schroon Lake, according to Sage. People located roughly to the south of DeCesare’s Pizza and to the north of the State Police office are beyond the range of service, Sage said. “They aren’t interested in expanding.”

The town board member said he is hopeful that with enough input that some people around Charley Hill Road could have their service upgraded by fall. “At this stage in the game it would be nice if (work crews) could get caught up.”

Sage said he’ll plan to update town board members on the information he’s gathered at their next meeting. Individuals interested in providing feedback to Sage are encouraged to communicate with him at town hall.

Gov. Cuomo: “Tourism is serious business”

ROBERT JOSEPH PALANDRANI, SR. OCTOBER 26, 1938-JULY 14, 2015

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — On a tranquil stretch of the Hudson River, the sun burned bright overhead and highlighted a storybook natural landscape.

Birds trilled from the surrounding forest as whitecrested whorls broke upon the rocks in the cool slate-gray water.

One after another, rafts of paddlers drifted by.

It’s an experience Gov. Andrew Cuomo hopes all state residents will eventually come to appreciate, particularly New York City residents.

The governor was in Indian Lake on Sunday for the third installment of an event series designed to draw attention to the Adirondack Park by pitting state lawmakers against each other in a series of athletic events — including whitewater rafting.

As he suited up for his trip down the river, Cuomo asked reporters if they knew where the Hudson River originated.

Mount Marcy in Keene, an alpine town some 300 miles north of New York City.

“You can stay in a raft and end up in 96th Street in Manhattan,” Cuomo said.

Originally billed as a race, the three-mile rafting trip down the Hudson is more of a tightly choreographed water ballet, with guides launching dignitary-filled rafts every minute down the sedate threemile stretch.

Cuomo put on a red life jacket and a blue helmet emblazoned with the state seal before hopping into a raft with Alphonso David, his counsel, and his two daughters.

The group paddled into position and turned around.

The governor said he’s been practicing his technique for the past nine months.

“I think the ladies have an advantage — female power, that’s what we’re relying on,” said Cuomo.

His daughter groaned: “Why are you giggling?” she asked.

The governor jousted with officials as they walked their rafts down to the launch point, sizing up each one with a mischievous glint in his eye: “This boat is in trouble.”

“There’s a lot of gray hair in this raft… a lot of wisdom.”

They splashed him.

He splashed back.

“There’s the New York legislature,” he said to the raft containing North Country reps Sen. Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec.

“Are we ready? Are we fired up?”

He took off and disappeared around the bend.

North Creek-area river guides said they’ve seen upticks in business since the state launched a sustained tourism push four years ago, including large investments in advertising, the development of new mobile apps and massive publicity events like the Adirondack Challenge, which always comes with a wave of publicity for a region that had historically complained about being overlooked.

Becky Pelton, of North Creek Rafting Company, said it was huge for someone like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to take a trip down the river three years ago.

That inspired a wave of new adventure seekers.

“These were women in their 60s who never thought about getting on a raft before,” she said.

Business is now booming, she said, including clients from India and China who booking trips.

According to figures provided by the governor’s office, the Adirondack Park generated $1.29 billion in direct spending and $159 million in state and local taxes last year.

The industry supports 21,203 jobs, or 17.9 percent of all employment in the region, and $590 million in labor income.

Sen. Little said the growth in tourism is spurring the creation of new businesses, which are then fed and sustained by returning tourists.

“We’re seeing new economic life here, not just in the tourism business, but interest in people coming here to start new businesses,” she said.

Crucial to this are the regional economic development council funds that are handed down each year.

The North Country has landed $338 million in state investment dollars since the initiative was launched four years ago.

Local officials have identified tourism as one of the region’s top priorities.

It’s a system that works, said Little, noting the $1.25 million investment to the Wild Center’s new outdoor exhibit, the Wild Walk.

Last summer, the center never broke 1,000 visitors on any given day, said Little. But this year, daily attendance numbers haven’t dipped below 1,200 since the Wild Walk was launched earlier this month.

“That’s a real example of how state and local government can come together,” said Little.

Inbound tourism to New York has jumped 16 percent in the past three years, noted the governor.

“It is big business for the North Country,” said Cuomo, adding that the state will double the advertising budget in New York City, including a campaign in August that will target some 700 buses.

The governor also announced a new instant win scratch-off ticket designed to further promote tourism to the state’s scratchers by offering up to 15 trips to one of New York’s five destination regions, including the Adiron-

dacks.

Getting people to the Adirondack Park is just a matter of exposure, said Cuomo.

“If I didn’t have this job that kept me busy like a crazy person, I’d be here all summer.”

ABOVE: Gov. Andrew Cuomo visited Indian Lake, New York on Saturday, July 18 to promote the Adirondack Park as a tourism destination. At the event, Gov. Cuomo announced a massive ramp-up in downstate promotional efforts, including doubling the number of MTA buses advertising the Adirondacks in New York City. He’s pictured above preparing for a whitewater rafting trip down the Hudson River.

Trio named to NYSSWA All State teams in baseball, softball Ross, Myler named in softball

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The pitcher who led Ticonderoga to its ninth Class C softball final and the St. Rose-bound shortstop who led Minerva/Newcomb to the Class D finals have been named All State athletes.

Hannah Ross, P, Ticonderoga

Hannah Ross, who was perfect for the Lady Sentinels through the 2015 regular season and Section VII/Class C playoffs, was named to the third team on the New York State Sportswriter’s Association Class C All State team.

Overall, Ross finished with a 14-1 record and a 1.31 ERA. One of Ross’ biggest wins in the regular season came in the showdown between the Sentinels and Division I foe Saranac, where the junior pitcher out dueled Chief’s ace Tori Trim in a 7-2 win for Ticonderoga, as Ross pitched six scoreless innings while striking out nine in the win.

The two-time Times-Enterprise Team starter silenced the AuSable Valley bats in the Class C final, allowing only one run on six hits while striking out eight and walking none.

“Making any team all-state is quite an accomplishment since it means your considered amongst the best in all of New York State,” head coach Eric Mullen said. “It is a reflection of all the hard work and dedication she put into not only this season but during the off-season as well. I’m proud of her accomplishment and look forward to seeing what she will accomplish next season as a senior.”

Hannah Ross Astasia Myler, SS, Minerva-Newcomb

Astasia Myler, the 2015 Times Enterprise team captain and two-time starter, was named to the fourth team in Class D at shortstop.

The Mountaineer senior had a strong season in the field and at the plate, but was limited in her production because many teams would pitch around her in the lineup, one of the reasons she said she is looking forward to her next career stop at the College of St. Rose.

“The biggest thing I am looking forward to is being pitched to again,” Myler said. “In (one) game, I was walked five times (her sixth at-bat was a double that went under the fence, or she believes she would have been able to leg out a home run).

“Everything flows for me in the game,” she added.

“She is a very strong player who has been a key part of this team,” head coach Bruce McGinn said.

Ryan Trudeau The duo were joined by a pair of Class B players from Section VII, Madalyn Tucker of Northeastern Clinton (sixth team) and Tori Trim of Saranac (seventh), who made her second straight All State team.

Trudeau earns baseball nod

TICONDEROGA — The ace for the Section VII/Class C finalists was named to an All State team.

Ryan Trudeau, the two-time Times Enterprise starter and 2014 team captain, was named to the Class C third team by the New York State Sportswriter’s Association.

Trudeau was the main piece in a strong pitching staff for the Sentinels in 2015, helping lead the squad to the familiar territory of the Class C finals, where he allowed two runs on three hits over five innings of work in a no decision.

Trudeau has been the ace of the Sentinels for the past two years, having pitched the team to the Class C title in 2014.

DEC takes comments, concerns during hearing in Indian Lk.

By Bill Quinlivan

denpubs@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Thursday evening, July 9, found a host of NYSDEC officials, County and Local Government officials, as well as nearly 70 full-time and part-time local residents on hand to, firstly, provide an overview of DEC’s draft plan to improve access and expand recreational opportunities in the Essex Chain Lakes Complex. Secondly, and most importantly, gather the comments and concerns of the local citizenry surrounding the subject draft proposal.

The proposal is readily available to all interested parties on the DEC website. Copies of the draft Plan are also available on CD at the following locations: DEC’s headquarters in Albany (5th floor); DEC Region 5 Headquarters in Ray Brook; DEC Region 5 Office in Warrensburg; and town hall offices in Indian Lake, Minerva, and Newcomb.

At the start of the hearing, the key elements of the draft proposal were summarized as follows: • Establishing a system of trails for biking and equestrian

use; • Extending the Upper Hudson Ski Loop to the Ord Road and ultimately to the Town of Newcomb; • Designating routes for public motor vehicle access, including parking; • Designating administrative access routes throughout the Complex to allow for the maintenance of bridges and trails; • Establishing a community connection, multiple use, trail which connects Indian Lake to Minerva, over the Cedar River and the Hudson River on the Polaris bridge; • Constructing a bridge over the Cedar River to provide a route for four season recreation including hiking, biking, horse riding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing; • Providing access for persons with disabilities to a tent site and waterway access between Fourth and Fifth lake and designated campsites along the Cornell Road, Camp Six Road and Chain Lakes Road (South); • Enhancing paddling opportunities, including providing additional canoe carries between the Chain of Lakes and along the Hudson River; • Designating additional camping opportunities including

the placement of lean-tos within the Complex area; • Managing continued floatplane use at designated tent sites on First and Pine Lakes; • Maintaining 2.5 miles of public motor vehicle roads for access and camping during big game hunting season; and • A proposal to maintain the historic farmhouse at the Outer Gooley and evaluate potential, future administrative uses until a final disposition for the structure is determined.

Some 21 members of the group of attendees assembled in the theater registered to verbally communicate their comments and concerns surrounding the draft proposal. Each was given three minutes to deliver their respective statements to the DEC officials and audience members.

There were also a number of comments surrounding the use of the Outer Gooley Club Farmhouse structure as a historic interpretive center and /or administrative headquarters involved in managing the land use.

The county and local government officials addressing the hearing were all very positive to the draft proposal and expressed their gratitude to the DEC for doing a fine job in maintaining balance in the plan.

“I would like to commend the staff of DEC. As an elected official of the Town of Indian Lake, I am grateful that DEC has recognized the needs of the surrounding towns,” Indian Lake Councilman John Valentine said.

The comments were not all positive. There were a handful of individuals who addressed the hearing attendees, most representing various conservation organizations. The most notable was Peter Bauer, Executive Director of Protect the Adirondacks.

Bauer was adamantly opposed to the proposed plan and in his address went so far as to allege that in its decisions the NYSDEC, “…did not consider science.”

Bauer went on to say the proposed plan was a “grand slam for the violation of law.”

The law that was mentioned as being violated in Bauer’s opinion is the New York State Wild, Scenic and Recreational Rivers Act. Among other issues, Bauer would like to see the Polaris (Iron) Bridge completely removed from the Hudson and he is completely against the addition of any snowmobile trails between the Town of Indian Lake and Minerva that cut across the Vaderwacker Mountain Wild Forest.

Bill Farber, Chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Supervisors, seemed to sum up the opinions expressed by the majority of those addressing the hearing.

“We have heard a lot of testimony here this evening. It points to the unique asset that these lands are to the people living in the towns surrounding them,” he said.

Farber went on to say that it was his opinion that the proposed plan represents a unique action of people working together.

“The roads and bridges are there, ready-made to introduce a greater cross-section of the population to the magnificence of these lands,” he said.

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