Essex County Sheriff ’s Dept. sends kids on trip of a lifetime

Black Watch Honor Society names members

LEWIS Ñ Under a steady Sunday drizzle and errant peals of thunder, six North Country children waited patiently for a tour bus to ferry them downstate to Camp Iroquois on Keuka Lake.

Most were giddy at the opportunity to hang with 130 other kids at the annual SheriffÕ s Association Summer Camp, a weeklong blast designed to give economically challenged kids from across the state the quintessential American camping experience.

Donald Dufault, a 10-yearold from Ticonderoga, bounced around the lobby of the SheriffÕ s Department and ticked off a number of activities that he couldnÕ t wait to tackle: Ò IÕ m going hiking, canoeing and fishing,” he said,“and kayaking, too.Ó His father, Earl Dufault, grinned: Ò IÕ m happy,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s going to be quieter around here,Ó said Jessica Carpenter, his mother.

An ebullient Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting presided over the group, steering incoming parents to hot coffee and road treats for the kids.

Cedar Point House to be honored with historic marker PORT HENRY Ñ A historic marker will now grace the property of Cedar Point House on South Main Street in Port Henry.

The William G. Pomeroy Foundation has awarded a grant for the marker after a proposal was submitted by Stephanie Adamowicz Porcelli, granddaughter of the innÕ s last proprietors, Helen and Peter Adamowicz.

The foundation established its Historic Roadside Marker Program in 2006 and as of April 2014 had funded nearly 145 historic markers in 30 New York counties.

It believes that historic markers help preserve a townÕ s history, thereby providing educational, cultural and economic benefits to the town and its citizens.

To receive a grant, Porcelli was required to submit a proposal citing the historical significance of the site prior to 1900 and accompany the proposal with primary source documentation that verified the historical accuracy of the inscription.

The foundation states: Ò Locating and properly sourcing primary source documentation is one of the most challenging requirements of our program. We have made a commitment toÉ the public at large that if a historic marker is funded by The William G. Pomeroy Foundation, then they can be absolutely assured that the facts presented are indisputable.Ó Ò While researching for a family history which I am now

writing, I asked Betty LaMoira, historian for the Town of Moriah Historical Society, for any information on Cedar Point House that the historical society might have and asked how I might obtain a historic marker for the site,Ó Porcelli said. Ò She informed me about the William G. Pomeroy Foundation Historic Marker Program, and I began the process of finding deeds for the property prior to my grandparents’ purchase in 1919. I went to the Essex County Clerk’s Office during the trips I made from my home on Long Island, and I was fortunate to have invaluable research help from my friend, Janice Breeyear Haq, who lives in the area.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Ticonderoga National Honor Society inducts scholars

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga High SchoolÕ s Black Watch Chapter of the National Honor Society recently inducted 19 new members who were welcomed by the 42 current members of the Classes of 2014 and 2015.

The ceremony, an honored tradition, was a somber one as Mrs. Deborah Breitenbach, the long-time NHS Advisor, was remembered by Chapter President Maura Jebb, by guest speaker Mr. Sanford Morhouse, and all who were on stage and in the audience.

New inductees are Savannah Bezon, Mackenzie Bright, Brittany Bruce, Colvin Chapman, Jamie Cox, Dillon Crowe, Nathasha LaFrance, Emily Powers, Casey Raymond, Brody Rocque, Timothy Ryan, Willa Shakeshaft, Samuel Shelmidine, Mackenzie Strum, Andrea teRiele, Ryan Trudeau, Susan Ward, Rachel White and Desiree Woods.

Morhouse graduated from THS in 1962 and was inducted into the first class of the Black Watch Chapter of National Honor Society. He spoke to the new members about how he believes Ticonderoga prepared him for the four pillars of National Honor Society. Ò Scholarship - I guarantee that your scholastic skills, learned here in Ticonderoga, will position you to excel in college and in turn position you to pursue and succeed in your chosen careers.Ó Morhouse said, then continued with the second pillar. Ò It is clear to me, that the experience of growing up in Ticonderoga shows us how much good can be accomplished by Service.Ó On the third pillar is Leadership, he said, Ò I promise you every day of my professional career I was grateful for the advantage that I had because of the values that I learned, the common sense that I acquired, and the self confidence that I achieved as a result of having been raised and educated in Ticonderoga.Ó Morhouse shared that he believes the fourth pillar, Character, is the most important: Ò Being sons and daughters of Ticonderoga has given you all of the groundwork you will need to be a person of Character,Ó he said.

Morhouse concluded telling the new and current members, Ò We are invested in you. And you, to your very good fortune, will always be a product of Ticonderoga. Embrace Ticonderoga and always celebrate its role in your lives proudly.Ó ABOVE LEFT: Members of the Black Watch Chapter of the National Photo provided Honor Society.

Overtime costs, shift changes A and a missing person

L

eading up to 4th of July weekend the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department led an investigation of a missing boater off the shores of the town of Hague.

Most of the readers in our southern circulation are familiar with the story of William Scott. For those that may not be, here is the history in brief; Scott, of Westerlo, New York, went missing July 1 when the boat he was riding in with two other men capsized. The initial call for emergency response came in to Warren County Emergency services at approximately 10 a.m. The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department arrived on scene within 30 minutes of the initial call and spearheaded the search for the missing man. Rescue efforts included a state police helicopter, Lake George Park Commission boats and staff including scuba units from Warren and Saratoga counties. The search went on for four days, and on Friday, July 4 divers recovered ScottÕ s body.

Denton Publications enlisted a staff reporter to cover the search efforts, and, as a result, many questions stemmed from the handling of the initial critical hours of the rescue. By 6 p.m. July 1, the Warren County SheriffÕ s boat patrol left the scene and the search did not resume until 9 a.m. the following morning. Why, with three hours left of daylight within the first 12 hours of a search, would efforts be called off so early? Sunrise the following day was at 5:17 a.m. so why did search efforts not resume until 9 a.m.?

Is it staffing issues? Overtime costs? Were efforts made to ask other departments to assist?

These are the questions we have been asking ourselves since.

In late June, Warren County SheriffÕ s Department announced changes to their boat patrol program. Sheriff Bud York hired seven retired police officers to work part-time for the department, manning boat patrols on the lake and other smaller tributaries in the area. In an interview with the Glens Falls Post Star, York stated that, “this will allow the full-time officers, who served on the boat patrol, to stay on the road cutting overtime costs for the department.Ó In the same interview, York also said, Òt his should allow for more complete coverage of the busy lake because the boat patrol officers won’t be juggling road shifts as well. We will have coverage on the lake for all of the firework shows.”

During the same time period, the Ticonderoga Police Department was stripped of nearly half its force when three officers accepted lateral transfers into the Warren County SheriffÕ s Depart-

ment.

Staffing for the department doesn’t appear to be an issue.

That leaves overtime costs. In 2012, the department was taken to task by the Warren County Board of Supervisors over overtime costs incurred by officers working events in the region.

In the report, provided by then SheriffÕ s Maj. C. Shawn Lamouree, $101,000 in overtime costs were a result of officer presence at local events that did not provide reimbursement to the department.

It is our understanding that a majority of the department work 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shifts. This would explain the sheriffÕ s prompt departure from the Hague scene at 6 p.m, allowing adequate time to return their boat to its proper location, secure the equipment and clock out for the day right around 7 p.m.

In a search with these parameters, the first day is normally considered to be a rescue attempt and information provided to the SheriffÕ s Department was that Scott left the vessel with a life preserver. It would be a fair assumption to believe that after eight hours he still may have been alive, especially considering the last visual sighting of the man was of him above water.

It may have been the collective decision of the SheriffÕ s Department to leave the scene vacant in order to save on overtime costs, but other options were certainly at play. In rescue attempts throughout the region, other local emergency personnel have been called in to assist when time limitations of divers or above waters efforts were exhausted. Groups such as the state police dive team or water rescue teams from fire departments throughout the region are utilized. Other options could have included aerial rescue efforts and local fire and rescue units that have active boats on the water including Hague, Bolton and Horicon, among others.

Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m. July 1 if the outcome would have been different.

Nevertheless, if the possibility exists of finding a living person rather than a body, shouldnÕ t every last effort be exhausted in doing so, regardless of cost? ÑD

Do you think there is a trend toward police agencies becoming more, or even overly, militarized?

I havenÕ t noticed because I really donÕ t have any involvement with the police. I have noticed increased security with things like the Lake Placid marathon. ItÕ s different. ItÕ s not like when we grew up.

Help pay for ‘playground’

To the Times of Ti: Thank You to National Grid Ti Overhead Division.

On Tuesday, July 8, as many know, the area was hit hard by a severe storm network. Very high winds leveled hundreds of tree down along Miller Road and took down several power supply poles. It also snapped the power pole at the corner of Rt. 9 and Blue Ridge Road about 10 feet from the top. The pole snapped and hung at about a 33 degree angle leaving the power and phone lines approximately 16 feet from the ground.

I drove to the south end of Miller Rd. and headed north. I got to where the mentioned crew was working and obviously got stopped by the job supervisor and told not to go any further. I got out and chatted with him for a bit and got permission to walk down to a certain point to snap some photos. I stopped to thank him for allowing me to get some photos. I talked to him about the broken pole just north of where they were working, which of course they aware of. I told him of my fear of the pole breaking more bringing the power-phone lines below 13 feet which a semi-truck would hit and create a huge mess. He informed me that they had hoped to make it to the pole to at least shore it up that night but due to regulations the crew had to be off duty by 11 a.m. Safety, in any job, is important, but when you are working with 3200 volts, you have better be on your game!

That night at about 9:30 p.m, I get a knock on the door, and it is a crewman from National Grid to let me know we had power as he did for many in the area. He told me they were able to safely secure the pole so they could restore power to much of the North Hudson area. Sadly, Blue Ridge would be without power another night because of the dynamics to the poles repair.

Early the next morning, they were busy installing and changing over the live power lines.

I feel these men went above and beyond getting power back to as many folks as they possibly could. Then to notify as many folks as possible the power was back on, that is nothing but above and beyond.

Thank you all.

To the Times of Ti: On Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20, the Governor of New York had another Ò Adirondack ChallengeÓ event in the Park.

As an elected official, I was invited by him to attend. I sent my regrets. I guess it just seems unfair to me that the people of New York that live outside the Blue Line arenÕ t being required to contribute to the cost of the StatesÕ playground in the same way as residents of the Park.

The 480-A tax exemptions, low assessments on State land, unfair state education aid funding, and not having development rights to much of their land are just some of the reasons that cause real harm to residents of the Park.

Some of us feel it is time for the State to pick up their fair share of the burden for this playground rather than place the cost directly on the backs of the Park residents.

If you want to use the playground help pay for it in a fair and equitable manner.

I hope the Governor and his friends had a good time enjoying some of the fun of our great Park. It should be here for all New Yorkers, but it should also be paid for by all New Yorkers.

Bill Grinnell, Ticonderoga

To the Times of Ti: Dictionaries have united people through the power of words since they were created over 2,000 years ago. The dictionary helps people express their innate gifts. Without words, we cannot share our ideas with others. The Dictionary Project puts words into the hands of children so that they can learn to express their thoughts and appreciations for each other and the world in which we live. Words help us make this world a better place for everyone to live in together. If you express appreciation and gratitude, people will have a high opinion of you because you are showing them the respect they deserve. Ò PleaseÓ and Ò thank youÓ are still the magic words.

Computer spell-check may be handy, but it does not replace the dictionary. Spell-check cannot increase the userÕ s understanding of words. It does no help someone become a better reader or more creative writer. Dictionaries make students selfreliant. They are an essential tool for a quality education. A child cannot do his or her best work without a dictionary.

We have high expectations for children. We believe that the greatest possible contribution which any one of us can make to the world is to be ourselves Ð at our best. The purpose of education is to help students develop their best selves. Unfortunately, it has become a challenge for educators to ensure that students have the tools they need to function effectively in the classroom.

The Ticonderoga Elks Lodge will be distributing Student Dictionaries to the 3rd grade students to the following schools in our area: Crown Point Central, Moriah Central, Putnam Central, St. MaryÕ s Catholic School, Schroon Lake Central and Ticonderoga Central.

In addition to the 3rd Grade Student Dictionaries, we are also providing French/English and Spanish/English dictionaries to any of the above schools who request them.

Anyone in the surrounding school districts wishing to make donations to The Dictionary Project please contact Richard A. Nadeau, chairperson, at 585-7659. For a Donation of $50, we will place a label in 30 of the dictionaries. The label will either be Ò In Memory of (person of your choice) or Ò Courtesy of (Your name)Ó Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Well, I did watch two police officers attempting to restrain a man in the middle of the road. It appeared that they were punching him. It was dark and they could have been killed. I thought that was a bit much.

Wants President to resign To the Times of Ti: I may have been the first to call for Pres. Obama’s resignation in 2010. I now call for his impeachment. A recent poll revealed this president is considered to be the worst to hold the Oval Office since 1945. For the first time in his life he’s finally earned something.

Allow me to highlight some of the major charges and abuses over the past six years.

For starters, the Fast Ô n Furious scandal is where Obama and Eric Holder put into the hands of Mexican drug dealers thousands of firearms. One of those guns killed Border Patrolman Brian Terry. Holder is complicit in many of these scandals as he serves as a firewall between real justice & jail for Obama.

The Benghazi tragedy was a serious breach of security. The utter refusal of Obama and then-Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to provide adequate protection is unforgivable. Repeated warnings went unheeded, and ultimately resulted in the murders of four Americans including Amb. Christopher Stevens. The administration then created a whopper of lie when they said the attack was Ò spontaneousÓ and the result of an anti-muslim video.

Another impeachable case involves the Internal Revenue Service. With the ObamaÕ s consent the IRS targeted conservative organizations in an effort to bully them into silence. The IRS wanted to know things it was not entitled to, and deliberately held back tax exempt approvals for months, if not years.

Then in May of 2013 a high-ranking official named Lois Lerner plead the 5th at her congressional hearing. What is she waiting for? Immunity? Now they tell us all of her e-mails have vanished.

None of these outrageous scandals are more agregious than the others, but the most recent crisis demonstrates how Obama is attempting to overwhelm the system. We are now being flooded with thousands of illegal immigrants, mostly children, from Central & South America.

Obama has shown utter contempt for the rule of law by saying, Ò So sue me.Ó So if thatÕ s what it takes we will do it. His wicked ideaology is bringing down our once great nation to its knees. He has trampled on our U.S. Constitution for six years. I, therefore, call upon those in authority to impeach this man lawfully and without regret.

John P. Sharkey Ticonderoga

Thanks for program help To the Times of Ti: Now that the school year has ended, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Ticonderoga Area BackPack Program. Whether you donated money, food, or your time to stock the shelves, to stuff the bags or to deliver the bags, please do not underestimate the significance of the contribution you have made to the children in our local area.

Many thanks to everyone who organized, volunteered for, and supported the special events which have benefited the program.

These events include the Hague Oktoberfest, the TNT Golf Tournament, McTeachersÕ Night in April, and the community service portion of the Royal Winter Pageant.

The local backpack program started in January, 2013 and at the end of this past school year, the program was distributing 120 weekend backpacks filled with food to students at four local schools; Ticonderoga Elementary-Middle, Crown Point Central, St. MaryÕ s, and Putnam Central. On an annual basis, that is equivalent to over 3,700 backpacks and over 22,000 meals.

I would also like to give a special thanks to the local businesses and associations who have very generously donated funds so that we can continue to impact the lives of local students: Wal Mart, Excellus Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Stewarts, Hearburg Enterprises, Richard Gasser& Sons, Inc., Crown Point Telephone, Ticonderoga Support Staff, Ticonderoga Teachers Association, Snug Harbor Marina, Glens Falls National Bank, Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union, and the Sentinel Grille.

Lastly, and most certainly not least, I must thank the charitable organizations that have been instrumental in supporting the backpack program and its cause. These wonderful organizations include CR Wood Foundation, Kiwanis International Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Catholic Charities of Ogdensburg, United Way of the Adirondacks, Honeybee Community Fund, Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church Mission Committee and the Pearsall Adirondack Foundation.

Without their most generous support, we would not have been able to grow and expand the program.

All of your donations of time and money are helping local kids and their families in a very tangible way. Thank you so much!

Rebecca Barber earns Girl Scout Gold Award for garden project

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Promoting local produce and agriculture brought a former Ticonderoga High School student a prestigious award in the world of girl scouting.

Rebecca Barber, who just completed her first year of studies at Potsdam University, was awarded with the Gold Award from the Girls Scouts of Northeastern New York May 18.

Open only to girls in high school, the prestigious award challenges girls to change the world in order to be eligible for college scholarships. By the time a Girl Scout puts the final touches on a seven-step project, they have solved a community problem not only in the short term, but for years into the future.

BarberÕ s project, which she completed during her senior year, was the creation of a youth community garden which was created at the Ticonderoga United Methodist Church. She also added a youth farmerÕ s market to the regular market held near the monument in town. Ò I had a few different project ideas and worked with Matt Courtright at the chamber,

who was my advisor,Ó Barber said. Ò We came up with the idea of the youth garden and farmerÕ s market for kids between the ages of six and 12 helped to tend and sell the produce.Ó Barber said the garden was a learning experience for the children, teaching them how to plant different produce and where it came from. Ò It was surprising how many people were learning this for the first time,” Barber said. Ò Doug Nadeau showed youth the proper way to plant and everyone had a hand in tending the garden.Ó Once the produce was harvested, the youth went to the farmerÕ s market and sold the goods. Ò We didnÕ t expect to have a lot because we planted a little later in the season, but we ended up with quite a bit of vegetables,Ó Barber said.

Barber said her focus was on providing a fun way for children to learn about gardening. Ò My main goal was to have fun with it,Ó she said. Ò A lot of kids were shy and it was great to get them to open up through this.Ó Money raised through the garden has been used to keep the plot continuing because Barber wanted to make sure the garden remained sustainable after she had graduated.

Ti students recently painted wooden impressions to be displayed at the Hancock House. The wood impressions were provided by Dayton Dedrick. Nicole Fuller, above, painted a colonial soldier and Jeanette Coon, right, created a native interpreter, both joined by art teacher Rachel Woods.

Ticonderoga graduates help chamber for senior projects

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga High School Senior Projects are a wonderful way for students to gain real life experience, knowledge, and provide a great service to the community.

Two Ticonderoga High School Seniors recently spent several months working closely with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

Sadie Hamel and Logan Mars, for their 2014 Senior Project, created numerous day itineraries for the Chamber to use to assist guests that are visiting the area. The Chamber serves as the Business and Visitor Center (Information Center) for the Ticonderoga Area. Sadie created ten day trip itineraries. Seven of them utilizing all the Ticonderoga Area has to offer and three day trips using the Ticonderoga Area as a base location. Logan took a different approach and created five itineraries based on specific points of interest including history, recreation, scenic beauty, events, as well as arts and culture opportunities. Ò I really enjoyed working with the Chamber of Commerce and learning about all the area has to offer,Ó Hamel said. Ò I think growing up here you often do not realize how beautiful the area is and how many things there are to experience.

Tourism plays a major role in supporting the local businesses and the entire area. I hope many visitors enjoy and find value in the itineraries we created in coordination with the Chamber.

Thank you to Matt and Molly for working with us. We enjoyed coming to the Chamber Office and working with you both.Ó In addition to their actual project each senior is required to research and write a paper related to the project of their choice. HamelÕ s paper discussed the significant impact tourism has on the local economy and focused on the experiences available to visitors throughout the spring and summer. Mars focused her paper on winter and fall experiences and activities available throughout the Ticonderoga Area. Ò What I enjoyed about their senior project is they chose a subject they were unfamiliar with, took ownership of it and made it their own,Ó said Bob Dedrick, Community Volunteer & Senior Project Judge. Ò Not only did they learn about the greater Ticonderoga area, but they shared their newfound knowledge with the community and any tourist visiting our area.Ó Both students spent a great deal of time read-

ing and researching information about the Ticonderoga Area and all it has to offer, as well as the role tourism plays in our economy. They also visited some of the areas attractions, experienced some of the recreational opportunities, and even took day trips from the Ticonderoga Area. In addition they spent many hours working with the staff at the Chamber Office in researching and creating the day itineraries. Ò The Chamber will continue to updated the itineraries and provide them to visitors,Ó said Matthew Courtright, TACC Executive Director.

Ò It was our pleasure to be the host site for a senior project. It was a truly valuable experience for Sadie and Logan, as well as the Chamber. I am a believer in the value of the Senior Projects that the Ticonderoga High Schools requires to graduate. Whether a student is going to college, a trade school, or entering the work force the projects give each student a great opportunity to learn, grow, and work with the community.Ó Hamel and Mars both graduated Ticonderoga High School on Saturday, June 27. Both received several scholarships and plan to attend

college in the fall of 2014. Ò The senior project is one of the best things we do here in Ticonderoga,Ó TCs Superintedent John McDonald said. Ò The students have the opportunity to explore a concept that interest them, serve the community and get a valuable learning experience. I am proud of all the seniors and am glad Sadie and Logan could help the chamber.Ó ABOVE: Sadie Hamel, Matthew Courtright (TACC Executive Director) and Logan Mars.

TICONDEROGA Ñ John McDonald is now, Ò The Doctor,Ó at Ticonderoga Central School, minus the stethoscope or time-traveling Police Box. McDonald received his Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the Teacher Õ s College at Columbia University last month. Ò It has been part of my personal plan and there was

a lot from the work I did that we can apply here in Ticonderoga to benefit the kids and teachers,Ó McDonald said. Ò I appreciate the support that the district gave me through all of this along with the help and support of my family.Ó McDonald chose a Doctorate thesis topic that has been at the center of many educational debates in recent years. Ò The topic was teacher evaluations, comparing the old system to the new APPR,Ó he said.

McDonald felt the change in the system had led not only to a change in how teachers were evaluated, but a change in how teachers and administrators, especially principals, were able to communicate, and not for the better.

Ò I feel the professional culture has changed and it is something that needs to be addressed,Ó McDonald said. Ò The new evaluation process is more time consuming for principals and it can lead to less communication between teachers and principals because they are now spending more time with forms and paperwork.Ó During the process, McDonald dealt with a pair of advisors as one retired. Ò I thought that was going to be an issue but the next advisor had very similar experiences to mine and showed me a lot,Ó McDonald said. Ò It was a great learning experience and gave me access to a lot of cutting edge leaders.Ó

Essex County supervisors, staff prepare for next tax sale

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Following the fireworks generated by the tax auction earlier this year, lawmakers and county officials are working to ensure a smooth takeoff for the auction slated for this fall.

The players: County Clerk Joe Provoncha, County Attorney Dan Manning, Treasurer Mike Diskin and a handful of town supervisors. Ò I know the county doesnÕ t do an excellent job with the owners who are delinquent who are about to lose their properties,Ó Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington told officials last month. Ò We also need to know that the county isnÕ t going to get themselves in a situation like in the past.Ó Harrington said itÕ s costly for the county to let delinquent properties stack up. Revenue canÕ t be generated and neighboring property values plummet. Ò The value goes on a downward spiral,Ó he said. Ò I want the three agencies involved with the sales to be aware of the timeline that has been established. They all have a goal to meet the timeline.Ó Earlier this year, officials said they hoped to hammer out auctions on a regular schedule.

Harrington said the board needs to ensure smooth communication within the three departments that facilitate the sales. Ò If there are any glitches in the system, and if assistance is needed, then we need to deal with that. We canÕ t allow ourselves to put ourselves in a pit again.Ó While Harrington couldnÕ t give an exact figure on how many tax-delinquent properties there were in Crown Point, Diskin said the town had just a single property slated for sale this fall. Nine were auctioned off at the last sale on April 30.

Clerk’s office

Ò I totally agree,Ó said Provoncha. Ò We do need to work together.Ó The clerk said the agencies have a smooth relationship and have wrapped up work on the 2009 properties. They are almost finished with 2010 and starting on the 2011s.

Provoncha reminded lawmakers on Monday that the process starts when Manning, acting on behalf on the treasurer, files a delinquent tax list and starts a civil action that tells parties what properties are in jeopardy of being foreclosed upon.

Tax sale searches will determine if there are liens or judgements against the property. Deeds

are examined and the subsequent info is digitized and zipped off of the other offices, who will then notify the owners of the situation. Ò ItÕ s the law that they need to be aware that their interest in that property will be extinguished if they donÕ t pay their taxes,Ó said Provoncha.

90 Parcels

Ò WeÕ re done with 2009 and ready to go,Ó said Diskin. After getting an order, his office anticipates an early-fall auction date.

Currently, about approximately 90 parcels on the block.

A minimum of 90 days is needed for the process, said Diskin, which puts 2010 out of the realm of this year.

After that, his office will turn the list of properties over to an auction company.

Owners have the opportunity to repurchase up to 14 days before the sale.

AprilÕ s auction dispensed of 105 lots worth $1,465,618.69. The bids received on the parcels clocked in at $988,990, which resulted in a net negative of $476,628.69, according to Haroff, the firm that brokered the auction.

Several other parcels, including two in Schroon, were removed for easement purposes.

Four others were removed from owners who hadnÕ t paid back taxes. The county is the process of contacting the back-up bidders to see if theyÕ re still interested, said Diskin.

On Monday, he gave lawmakers a list of the 90 properties scheduled for sale. Ò If you see something that strikes your fancy, pick one out and let us know before we turn them over to the auctioneer,Ó he said.

‘They had no right’

Sheriff ’s camp Continued from page 1

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said he was upset that the county didnÕ t have a way to prevent bidders who already owe taxes from bidding on more properties.

Diskin said the last auction was the first time in 20 years that the county asked a participant to pay up, but they refused.

Four people who owed taxes offered winning bids at the last sale: two paid, two did not, a total amounting to $48,000.

“This is the first instance I can remember where a person or persons did not pay taxes

they owed if they bought a foreclosure parcel at the auction,Ó said Diskin.

“When someone registers, can you find someone who owes taxes?Ó Scozzafava asked Diskin. Ò I can pull up a [list] right now.Ó Ò Can you do it at the next auction?Ó asked Diskin. Ò Why canÕ t you just stop it?Ó Scozzafava shot back. Ò A lot of those properties were in my town. The people came in and they had no right.Ó Diskin said the only way to prevent such bidders from bidding on the auction would be to write the clause into the terms and conditions.

But even then, he said, there are ways to game the system.

Bidders could register under different names or form new limited liability corporations that would make tracking difficult. Furthermore, he said, screening the bidders, who donÕ t register until the day of the auction, would be difficult. Ò We would have to be there with laptop and look each person up,Ó he said.

Board Chairman Randy Douglas said if it was determined that the first bidder owed taxes, the property should be kicked over to the runner-up. Ò Make them sign something,Ó said Scozzafava. Without giving a name, he cited an area resident who owes a “significant amount of taxes” and was allowed to bid at the last auction. Ò What do we do with them?Ó he asked. Ò Put them in jail,Ó cracked North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi, grinning from the sidelines.

Scozzafava scowled. Ò I agree with Scozzafava on this,Ó said Douglas.

“They’re going to figure it out, file under another name,Ó said Diskin. Ò YouÕ re never going to stop them.Ó Manning, who treated lawmakers earlier to a detailed explanation of the law that saw their eyes glaze over, urged patience: Ò WeÕ re on track,Ó he said.

Shortly afterwards, he called for an executive session to discuss litigation related to Frontier Town, the former theme park that was put on the block at the last auction but remains in limbo.

Lawmakers were behind closed doors for 20 minutes without making a decision.

Cutting said he visited the camp two weeks ago. Ò ItÕ s a great place,Ó he said.

Each year, Essex County provides rotating slots for eight kids, two each from four towns, to attend the camp designed to foster a sense of community.

This year’s participants, who were selected by school officials, includes kids from Ticonderoga, Lake Placid, Moriah and Westport.

Elizabeth Vondwingelo, 11, said she was nervous about the long trip but happy to be going. Ò I think sheÕ ll have fun,Ó said Mary Dever, her mom. Molly Robichaud said the same about her son, Frank Boyd, a quiet 12-year-old from Witherbee: Ò I think itÕ s going to be awesome for him,Ó she said.

Blake Callaghan, 10, hung back and cooly surveyed the group. Ò IÕ m excited,Ó he said. Ò IÕ ve been to a lot of other camps. IÕ m looking forward to playing football because thatÕ s what I play at home.Ó CallaghanÕ s mom, Erin Horton, beamed. Ò WeÕ re just so fortunate that we got to do this,Ó she said.

When Blake gets back, she said, the family will dine together as Blake regales Mom, Dad and his two younger brothers with campfire stories. Ò WeÕ re hoping heÕ ll take more pictures this year,Ó she said.

Not all children were as excited as Blake, Donald, Elizabeth and Jared Webb, a 13-year-old from Ticonderoga: One opted not to go at the last minute. Even the best efforts of Cutting, who tried to convince the kid as the bus idled in the parking lot, fell flat.

Team Essex County boarded the bus. The clouds parted, the rain thinned, and the vehicle pulled out onto Stowersville Road and disappeared into the mountains.

As Cutting surveyed the landscape, a parent approached and asked, Ò When are the deadlines next year?Ó

Cedar Pt. House Continued from page 1 Joan Daby, the previous Town of Moriah Historian, also provided important insights to Porcelli. Ò Through the deeds, information found on the internet, archived online newspaper articles, old maps, and old photographs, I was able to trace ownership of the property back to A.B. Waldo, an early village supervisor and one of the first directors of the Cedar Point Iron Company,Ó she said. Ò During the 1870s his tract of land was subdivided into building lots, and on two of these lots, Cedar Point House was built.Ó Cedar Point House was a convenient boarding house for ironworkers, dockworkers, railway workers,] and travelers alike. It became the first residence in the village to acquire electricity when the superintendent of the Cedar Point Furnace installed a dynamo and ran the wiring across the road. In 1887, Witherbee Sherman &

www.timesofti.com Company purchased Cedar Point House, after earlier acquiring other properties of the Cedar Point Iron Company. Thomas F. Witherbee directed the building of the Cedar Point blast furnace, which ushered in a growing wave of commerce in Port Henry, and Witherbee Sherman & Company contributed in numerous ways to the rapid economic, cultural and recreational improvement of the area in the late 1800Õ s.

Both this inn and the village of Port Henry were beneficiaries of the investments made by Cedar Point Iron Company and later by Witherbee Sherman & Company. These investments marked the inception of a thriving economy and prosperity that would last into the following century. Ò My grandparents, Peter and Helen Adamowicz, who ecent immigrants from Poland, bought Cedar Point House in 1919 and continued to conduct it as an inn with a restaurant and a bar,Ó Porcelli said. Ò They renovated the exterior shortly after becoming owners, adding stucco, a more substantial porch, and a

porte cochere. In 1945, my grandfather passed away andmy grandmother continued the business, with the help of my father, Walter, until the early 1960s. She passed away in 1964, and my father subsequently sold the property. My sister, Anne Marie Adamowicz, purchased the Cedar Point House and property in 2003 and is presently in the process of renovating.Ó Porcelli said she wanted to share the tradition of the house with the community. Ò As I researched materials for my family history and for the marker proposal, I discovered that I could share in the prominence late nineteenth century inhabitants of Port Henry must have felt, and I could realize the hope and promise that my grandparents experienced in their new country,Ó she said. Ò My brother, Anthony, my sister, Anne Marie, and I remember our grandparentsÕ home at its grandest, when it provided housing and meals for the workers who made Port Henry a successful village, for state and local officials who enjoyed the inn’s ambiance at formal gatherings, and for trav-

August 2, 2014 elers who experienced the beauties of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. Cedar Point House is a symbol of dreams realized through hard work and persistence.Ó Porcelli said another important thing to the family is to do their best to preserve the historic significance of the site. Ò Often, the attempt to modernize leads to the destruction and disappearance of what was once our greatness,Ó Porcelli said. Ò Though many are too young to remember our history first hand, a historic marker offers the impetus to study and appreciate it. As a retired teacher, I applaud the work of The William G. Pomeroy Foundation. I hope the interest of many will be sparked, and people will be motivated to consider the legacy they will leave to future generations.Ó BELOW RIGHT: A postcard of the Cedar Point House in Port Henry.

High school students make trip to Honduras with Global Bridges

list to go on a medical/dental mission, so she joined her friends and son, working first with a dentist and second on the computer checking patients in and providing a patient number, then entered their treatment and any prescriptions written. Ò I have so much more than I ever realized,Ó Rose said. Ò I am lucky to have my family, our health, our home, and our way of life. The things we take for granted on a daily basis, most of the folks of Honduras have never seen or had. It was a very humbling and rewarding experience, made even more special by the fact that I was able to share the experience with my youngest son, Matthew.Ó Rose has crossed this trip off her bucket list, but not surprisingly, is adding another mission trip to the list. Ò The houses of the natives are made from clay and bricks, have no windows or doors, and the roofs are made from tree bark,Ó said Natasha Pratt, a second year nursing student. Ò The people eat mostly corn tortillas and beans, and the drinking water is very unsafe to ingest or even bathe in Ð due to parasites. The ride back home was long and I was happy to finally be back sleeping in my own bed, but I wouldnÕ t have traded anything for the days helping the people in Honduras. This was the second year I was able to attend the trip and I can honestly say the amount of experience I received and all the assessments and tasks I got to do is something I will never forget.Ó At a young age, Natasha has experienced the simple truth that happiness and contentment

come from giving; a quality that defines a nurse.

The trip to Honduras had some sad elements, yet there were good times and a sense of power. Ò Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience,Ó said Dusti Pratt, a Registered Nurse on her third mission. Ò As we boarded the bus from the airport driving through the small towns, I was shocked watching the people on the streets and seeing the shacks that were homes built into the sides of the earth. I will never forget that experience... and the amount of poverty. Every person comes through the line complaining of stomachache, headache and lethargy, all caused by parasites that are in the drinking water and rivers that people bathe in. Almost no one has running water in their home.Ó But, that didn’t define her trip; there were a lot of good times and a feeling of accomplishment.

be able to adopt one and bring her home with us,Ó Pratt said. Ò After attending these trips I have found myself to have more patience and I donÕ t sweat the small stuff. I am thankful for all that I have, but what I am most thankful for is the ability to help those less fortunate and to have done it with both of my children.Ó This winter, when I complain about the cost of fuel oil, how dark it is at four oÕ clock in the afternoon, or that I donÕ t feel like doing anything, I will reflect on the folks in Honduras who abide in warm weather and donÕ t have to worry about fuel oil, but have far greater adversity. And to think that with all of their adversity they are thankful, warm, and do not gripe.

MORIAH Ñ The day after the North Country was hit with its last winter storm March 14, a few members of the community were on their way to Honduras as members of the Global Brigades, the worldÕ s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization.

Forty-two nurses, high school and college students along with other volunteers were part of a medical mission that offered medical treatment to deserving children and adults who seldom see a doctor.

As North Country residents cleared the roads and driveways of snow, some of those volunteers were at LaGuardia Airport in New York City sleeping on cots in a tiny room before their 6 a.m. flight. From there they flew to Miami, and then puddle-jumped across the pond to Honduras. After a seven hour bus ride on dirt and pavement along winding roads, they reached their sleeping quarters: tired and car sick.

Two days later, Matt Rice and Regan Pratt sorted medicine and then went to an orphanage. The children were smiling and prepared for visitors. One little girl held ReaganÕ s hand and gave her a personal tour. She learned that, Ò parents will do anything to get their kids in (the orphanage) for a better life.Ó Most of the kidÕ s parents were in jail or deceased. Some of the children had been abandoned. The place was gated and had guards, as the food and medicine were prized commodities and needed to be protected.

On the next Monday and Tuesday, the group traveled an hour and a half on dirt roads to a clinic in Junquillo, serving about 150 adults and children on the former, and 250 people on the latter.

On Wednesday they served roughly 350 children and adults in La Cienega. Some of the locals came as early as 4 a.m. to wait in line for the clinic to open at 9:30 a.m.

Matt began to reflect, “They would wait there patiently for six hours. We go to the doctor and complain if we wait 20 minutes.Ó Regan worked in the dental clinic. Ò KidÕ s donÕ t know how to brush their teeth Ð nine years old Ð really sad,Ó she said. Ò We take for granted that we have a dollar toothbrush and some kids donÕ t know how to brush their teeth.Ó Ò Everyone had parasites and would say they had the flu just to get medicine because some time down the road they would get sick and wanted to have medicine on hand,Ó Rice added.

It may seem odd, but the two Moriah students ate their lunch in the exam room (patients were behind curtains). Ò I didnÕ t want to eat in front of local people Ð they probably didnÕ t have food,Ó Rice said. Ò I felt really bad about it.Ó The team soon discovered that some of the local people wait as much as five days before they eat another meal.

French and Indian War encampment at Crown Point hostoric site CROWN POINT Ñ Crown Point State Historic Site will host its annual French and Indian War Encampment on the weekend of Aug. 9 and 10. The public will enjoy great views of naval landings both in the morning and in the afternoon each day.

Living history volunteers from the northeastern region of the United States and from eastern Canada enjoy presenting events at Crown Point. Nearby Chimney Point State Historic Site in Vermont is also participating in the event this year.

The British-versus-French Ò battlesÓ will be lake-based this year, making use of several replica water craft. Due to an interest in everyoneÕ s safety, event planners will let weather conditions (lake wind, rain storms, etc.) change the battle schedule, even on short notice. Guests will find that the best location for viewing the progress of the 11 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. amphibious attacks will be from the sidewalk of the Lake Champlain Bridge.

There will be plenty of flintlock musket fire and even some artillery fire from boats. Guests should arrive early, allowing time to get into position for the best views and to park as directed on the grounds of Crown Point State Historic Site, which is located at the southwest (New York) end of the Lake Champlain Bridge.

Parking is convenient and free of charge.

The site’s air conditioned museum, with its high-definition audio-visual show and inviting interactive exhibits, is open from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., Thursdays through Mondays.

Guests to the camp will be able to see, hear, walk among, and interact with the many volunteers who will spend the weekend portraying various people of Crown PointÕ s past. Visitors will want to bring a camera. Ò SutlersÓ (vendors) will show and sell their replica 18th century wares all weekend.

Crown Point offers a unique backdrop for this lively event, both geographically and historically. Before the 1730s, Woodland Indians camped on the peninsula. In 1734, the French military built an impressive stronghold here, Fort St. FrŽ dŽ ric, with its tall limestone tower and even a fortified and wind-powered grist mill. A quarter-century later, when the British arrived in 1759, they added an even larger fort complex at Crown Point. The limestone ruins of both the French-built fort and of the earthen walls and stone barracks of the British fort, located on a point of land that juts into Lake Champlain, still offer an inspiring location that has remained largely unchanged since a devastating fire burned the British fort in 1773, only two years before the start of the War for American Independence.

The ruins are among the few remaining examples of pre-Revolutionary military construction in the United States and both fort ruins have been individually designated as Ò National Historic Land-marksÓ by the U.S. Department of the Interior, in recognition of their international importance.

For information about the site, the event the public may contact the site at 597-4666 or visit the agencyÕ s web site atnysparks. com.

CROWN POINT Ñ Lakes to Locks Passage has received a grant from the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program to develop interpretive products that link key battles fought in northeastern New York and Vermont during the 1775-77 campaigns of the American Revolution.

The grant in the amount of $55,000 funds the development of a new guidebook, Ò Waterways of War: The Turning Point of the American Revolution,Ó as well as multimedia interpretation and a toolkit for Battlefield Stewardship.

The objective of the project is to build awareness and appreciation of key battlefields and their associated historical places with suggestions for stewardship actions that can be taken by residents and visitors.

“The American Battlefield Protection Program supports projects that safeguard, preserve and tell the stories of America’s battlefields,” said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. Ò These places are symbols of indi-

Cooper lends a ear, paw

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ Youth crowded around the newest member of the reading group July 9, ready to spend the next two months reading to him and giving him a nice rub behind the ears.

ThatÕ s because Cooper, who showed up with his owner Arnold Rappaport, has joined the Schroon Lake LibraryÕ s summer reading program as a therapy dog reading partner.

Cooper will be in the lower level of the Schroon Community Center Wednesdays in July and August starting at 11:30 a.m. for youth from throughout the community to read to. Based on the first week, he will have a lot to listen to. Ò It has been a really big hit,Ó library aid Jessica Botterbusch said. Ò We will be giving all the children we can the chance to read to Cooper and we will not be constricted to just a half-hour window.Ó Botterbusch said the chance to read with a dog is something kids of all reading levels enjoy. Ò It is something that is used a lot in schools for kids who may be facing challenges with reading,Ó she said. Ò It is something that gives them a boost of self esteem

because they have this dog that is listening to them at whatever pace they read at. We wanted to give all of the kids here that opportunity to read with a dog.Ó Botterbusch said Rappaport sought out the library for the volunteer opportunity with Cooper, something the duo has also done in Florida. Ò He has been a long-time summer patron of the library and

wanted to volunteer with Cooper,Ó she said.

For more information on the Schroon Lake Library reading program and the chance to read with Cooper, call 532-7737.

Back on track A

fter a few months of skipping out on providing my regular weekly columns, I am finally back on track. I wasn’t goofing off, as most would expect of me, I was attending to family matters.

I appreciate all of the cards, letters and emails from old friends, new friends and other friends of my brotherÕ s who took the time to write, call and email to share their stories of his adventures with me.

Following his recent passing, IÕ ve been spending a majority of my time in the woods and on the waters, where fish have been biting as regularly as the deer flies and the punkies that seem to constantly orbit my noggin.

The local woods and waters are certainly a therapeutic environment. I guess it is because itÕ s easy to forget your troubles when there is so much activity constantly going on all around you.

ThereÕ s nothing more reassuring than watching a stunning sunset, as it dresses up the mountainside with a warm alpen-glow, to confirm there is something much grander when we finally go off to the great beyond. IÕ ve heard it described as GodÕ s Country IÕ ve often noticed it, but I guess I appreciate it more now than ever, Ò Up in the mountains, so still it make you scared; where God lies waiting in his great white beard.Ó Orson Ò Old MountainÓ Phelps, a legendary Adirondack guide who hailed from Keene Valley explained the unique spiritual presence of the mountains when he explained the local scenery to Charles Dudley Warner, Ò It seems as if, .. as if the Creator had kept something just to look at himself.Ó Although I know IÕ ll never see my brother tromping through the local woods again; they will always look the same as they were when he was with us, and thatÕ s familiar enough for me.

The new Old Invasives Although I have not be able to obtain any firm scientific evidence to confirm the fact, it appears there are two old invasives on the rise in the North Woods.

In addition to such new pests as ticks, knotweed, and the potential for Spiny Water Fleas; two old menaces are currently on the rise.

I know, I have found them in my own home regularly this summer and obviously so have many others.

What is a summer without ants? I donÕ t mind when they come to my picnic, but I draw the line when they so up at my dinner table. They seem to be everywhere except in the woods.

And how about all those mice? I canÕ t speak for homeowners in the Champlain Valley region, but it appears the Ò metal munching,

www.timesofti.com

mountain miceÓ are back in our area again. TheyÕ ve been out in force, inside. Maybe itÕ s just all the rain that has florced they to seek a drier environment.

Many homeowners tell me theyÕ ve never experienced such an unprecedented outbreak.

IÕ ve never such a break-in!

I expect to have to deal with mice in camp, especially in an old hunting camp and occasionally, a mouse in the house when the weather turns cold.

However in recent weekÕ s, IÕ ve had to establish an extensive trap line, and I make my rounds daily.

I really donÕ t have time to deal with any potential new invasive species, since IÕ m currently busy struggling with the old ones.

Summer Season segues to Hunting Season Every year, as Autumn rolls around, I listen to a host of complaints from hunters new and old, regarding the availability of Hunter Safety Courses.

Of course, the lack of courses is not really the problem. More often, it is a lack of attention, and Ô putting it offÕ until later.

So the potential hunters donÕ t get around to taking a class until the season arrives, and then they complain about the high cost of a new license. Same old, same old, but this year IÕ m not going to listen.

If you want to hunt this year, and need to take a Hunter Safety Class, make plans to attend the upcoming Warren County 4th Annual Sportsman/Hunter Education Super Weekend Hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren
