Trekonderoga nears New names, events added to Sept. 4-6 weekend

TICONDEROGA — On approximately stardate 93278.1, many of the Star Trek universe faithful will start a three-day celebration of a pop culture sensation that originally started as a “five year journey.”

“It’s amazing what a show which couldn’t make enough money to stay on the air in the 1960’s has turned into,” said James Cawley, who now leads the production of the internet series Star Trek: New Voyages, starring as Capt. James T. Kirk.

Cawley, with the help of Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance co-directors Nancy Archer and

Lance Clark, are now starting to work out the final pieces of Trekonderoga, the first ever “Trek-con” to take place in Ticonderoga Sept. 4-6.

“We have done the new voyages for 13 years now and so many people from so many different places have been involved,” Cawley said. “These are all people who go to Star Trek conventions, and they started floating the idea maybe we should do our own.”

Cawley kept the idea in the back of his mind until production was moved from Port Henry to Ticonderoga, where larger space allowed for the idea to grow.

“The Alliance also came in and thought it was an interesting idea to help promote the area,” he said. “So we came together on a date. It was good to get that set, get the adrenaline locked in and get to work.”

Lance Clark and Nancy Archer of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, along with Star Trek: New Voyages creator James Cawley, are partnering to bring Trekonderoga to the downtown area Sept. 4-6.

PORT HENRY — The first public meeting concerning the dissolution process in the Village of Port Henry will take place a day earlier due to scheduling conflicts.

With the Knights of Columbus Hall in the village already hosting an event Wednesday, Aug. 19, the public meeting concerning the dissolution process has been moved to Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m.

During the meeting, the public will have the chance to listen to the board talk about its preliminary work, with introductions of the firm hired to work on the dissolution plan and a public comment period.

On Aug. 10, the trustees opted to hire the Laberge Group to act as consultants to help update the dissolution plan at the price tag of $40,000.

The Village of Port Henry received a petition June 25 seeking a referendum on the dissolution of the government structure, with the vote to be held Tuesday, Oct. 27, between noon and 9 p.m. at the Port Henry Volunteer Fire Department.

To help in leading the discussion, the board has set up a trio of public meetings. They will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19; Wednesday, Sept.

23; and Wednesday, Oct. 21 at the Knights of Columbus Hall.

“I want to see all the facts and information that we have given to the residents here in Port Henry over the next three months,” Mayor Ernie Guerin said. “I want to ensure we make this a legitimate, honest vote.”

Trustee Ruth McDonough agreed.

“My hope is every voter in the village gets the important and needed information before they go >> Story Continued | pg. 14

“We were looking for a project which could have a fairly quick impact and draw people into the downtown area,” Archer said. “We saw what James was doing as a new asset which we could help promote the area in a positive way.”

“If this works, we have also talked about partnering on studio tours to get people coming through and into the downtown during the entire year,” Clark said.

www.suncommunitynews.com

“We want to get this studio open so it is an attraction and something people who love Star Trek will want to come and be a part of,” Cawley said.

Events kick off Friday, Sept. 4, with tours of the downtown studio where New Voyages is produced, a dealer room, and a Star Trek dinner-dance with Mr. Scott’s Time Travel Band, led by Carl Sheldon, the movie-era Mr. Scott.

Events with special guests begin Sept. 5, which will include several Star Trek writers and former actors, including Sally Kellerman, who was a cast member in the second pilot episode for the original Star

Trek series, but went on to star as Maj. Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in the movie and consequent television series, M*A*S*H. Other guests include Don Marshall (actor, Lt. Boma), Eric Stillwell (writer, producer), BarBara Luna (actress, Marlena Moreau), Louise Sorrell (actress, Rayna Kapec), Sean Kenney (actor, Capt.

Christopher Pike in original series), David Gerrold (author) and David Galanter (author).

A question and answer session with each of the guests will be part of the Sept. 5 events, along with autograph sessions, tour of the New Voyages set, movie making workshops, science talks relating how the Trek world relates to the real world, screenings of New Voyages episodes and networking sessions.

Throughout the day, people will also have the chance to see another pop culture icon — the original Batmobile from the 1966 television series.

“This is something anyone can come and see,” Archer said.

Cawley said the inclusion of the Batmobile is something he hopes will help grow the event.

“I think we see this growing annually and eventually turning into a comic-con type event,” he said. “Sci-fi is a very broad arena which is something Star Trek fans are part of. We have seen growing interest in this ‘geek-centric’ culture with the growth in popularity of events like this and ‘cons.”’

Sunday, Sept. 6, will wrap up events with more autograph sessions and studio tours.

Camp gives Ti teenager a taste of firefighter work Ti girl attended program sponsored by Fire Service Women of New York State

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — While many of her peers were likely enjoying summer relaxing at local beaches, 16-year-old Jordyn Borho spent part of her’s squeezing water from fire hoses at an elite fire camp for youths.

She went to the Phoenix Firecamp last month in Utica. The camp gathered a group of young women interested in firefighting and emergency services.

“I really liked it,” said Jordyn, who will be a junior at Ticonderoga High School.

For her part, Jordyn has been inspired to pursue the work over the years in part by watching her father head out to calls as a volunteer member of the local fire department.

The Utica camp is sponsored by the Fire Service Women of New York State, which is a nonprofit group comprised of women involved in career and volunteer fire and emergency services. “I learned how to climb ladders the correct way, how to put out fires, basically a lot of things, we learned a lot of teamwork,” Jordyn said.

Another highlight of the program was it helped Jordyn network with youngsters who feel a similar draw to public service. “We developed a lot of relationships. We all bonded really well. It was amazing,” Jordyn said.

But Jordyn’s not resting on her laurels after her productive trip to Utica. She said she’s taken some of what she learned to local practices. She’s involved with a youth firefighter program through the Ticonderoga Fire Depart-

ment.

There are some boys, said Jordyn, who think girls might not be cut out for physically-demanding work of the job. It sometimes requires tasks like lugging hoses or scaling buildings. But Jordyn’s message for the skeptics is simple: “I’m going to show you up.”

For Melody Dorho, Jordyn’s mother, that type of resolve is emblematic of her daughter’s can-do spirit.

“She stood up to all of them and said, ‘you know what, this is what I want to do,’” Melody Dorho said. “We are so proud of her.”

Attendees of the Phoenix Firecamp, including Jordyn Dorho of Ticonderoga, gather for a photo. The camp was held in Utica and sponsored by the Fire Service Women of New York State.

Brother Eagles << Continued from | p. 1

Brothers William, Sean, Ian and Connor Lawrie each received their Eagle Scout Badge at the outdoors campsite at Silver Bay Sunday, Aug. 9, surrounded by family and friends, some from as far away as Alaska.

“When the plans first started to be made for this family reunion, I decided I wanted to make sure we could have all four boys receive their Eagle Scouts,” mother Lara Smith said. “This is such a special day for them and it is great to celebrate it with so many family members here.”

William, the eldest brother, finished his work for Eagle Scout about four years ago, planting trees and shrubs around the Ticonderoga Elementary/ Middle School along with replanting the gardens at the senior housing community on the Inter Lakes Health campus.

“When the Lowe’s store closed, they donated a bunch of tress and shrubs and I went to the chamber and asked how we could use them toward my Eagle project,” he said. “This is very exciting and I am proud to be able to do this with my younger brothers because they mean a lot to me. When this idea was suggested to me to do the ceremony as a family, I thought it was a really cool idea.”

Sean was next in line, building five flower boxes which can still be seen helping beautify the downtown area at the Ticonderoga Chamber of Com-

www.suncommunitynews.com

merce offices.

“I was able to raise funds through a bottle drive and get the other scouts in my troop to help,” he said. “It has been a long journey and something I think we are all very proud of, especially having the chance to do this with all my brothers at the same time. We have all been a part of scouting since we were little.”

The youngest brothers, Ian (who graduated from Ticonderoga High School earlier this summer) and Connor (a THS student) both earned the rank of Eagle this spring, with Ian helping to renovate the basketball backboards and storage facilities at the Armory.

“You do not really see a lot of joint Eagle Scout ceremonies around here, especially with four brothers,” said Ian, who celebrated his 18th birthday the day before the ceremony. “To do it like this and have all the family here makes it special.”

Connor, the youngest of the group, organized and held a community CPR course to fulfill his Eagle Scout project requirement.

“There are a lot of family members here I have never met before,” he said. “My mom had the idea of having this big ceremony to celebrate and it has been a once in a lifetime thing. I am happy we were all able to get through this.”

ON THE COVER: Connor, Ian, Sean and William Lawrie sit together during an Eagle Scout ceremony for each at Silver Bay Aug. 9.

Family members from across the country attended the Eagle Scout ceremony for the Lawrie brothers Aug. 9, part of a family reunion which has been planned for several years.

OPINION

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

www.suncommunitynews.com/editorials

And they’re off!

he recent interest in the first Republican primary of the 2016 Presidential campaign was extremely high because the need to make the right choice in next year’s election is also very high.

TV executives and campaign aides predicted unusually high ratings for the event, thanks to curiosity about candidate Donald Trump and the controversy over the “top ten” candidate criteria; But the ratings quadrupled even the highest projections for this first event.

As a comparison the 24 million viewers of this debate paled those of the first GOP primary debates four years ago when only 3.2 million viewers bothered to watch. The debate was bigger than all of this year’s NBA finals and baseball’s World Series games, and most of the year’s NFL match-ups.

The interest in the debate and the surprising interest in the Trump candidacy is nothing more than a reflection on the current state of political affairs in this country.

Frustration over government gridlock is clearly front and center. Trump, whose candidacy under normal conditions would not have amounted to much, has seen his polling number growing, despite rude comments and little to no substance in his rhetoric. He has many insiders scratching their heads.

Americans have grown so tired of do-little politicians, that it appears they will take the time to listen to unconventional candidates like Trump, Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, hoping for a white knight who can bring the warring political parties together and return the country to its once prominent role.

Traditional Democrats and Republicans seem to be of the same mindset for this election looking past traditional candidates while listening closely to unconventional choices. Independent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a professing Socialist, is attracting the same type of interest as some of the afore mentioned GOP candidates, while he seeks the Democratic nomination.

Granted, this is very early in the election process and voters may be doing nothing more than showing their willingness to listen, but clearly traditional politicians should be taking notice. Pandering to the base isn’t going to be enough to win this election, nor is campaigning with name recognition alone going to win over the electorate.

The country has grown tired of stagnation and is eager to consider a new type of candidate who can deliver on promises and return the country to the land of optimism with the opportunity for all to pursue the American dream.

Let’s hope America keeps listening and chooses wisely in 2016.

Respect freedom of speech at municipal meetings

I

n one of his most beloved illustrations, Norman Rockwell portrays a man standing up at a town board meeting to express his views.

According to Rockwell, he was seeking inspiration for pieces of work that would echo the 1941 Congressional address of Franklin D. Roosevelt, where he spoke of a post-war world founded on the freedoms of speech, religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear.

He happened to attend a town meeting near his then Arlington, Vt., home, where a man addressed the board and audience with an unpopular view. That night, the light of inspiration hit Rockwell, and he went on to create the iconic quartet of paintings.

There are several things that stick out to us in this painting, all having to do with the term reverence. First is the reverenced tone the members of the audience are giving the man who is standing up. Almost everyone is looking at him. You only see one open mouth, his.

The second is the reverence of the man who is speaking. While there is some tension in his face, it looks more like stress instead of an anger or scorn toward the people he is addressing. His mouth would suggest a slow, deliberate pace of speech, not in anger or disdain for those he speaks to.

You could also make an inferred reference to the members of the town board. They are giving the gentleman the chance to speak without interruption. It would seem they are out of our sight listening to what the speaker has to say, much like those in the audience.

Oh, the good ol’ days.

As our reporters go out to meetings and hearings in the North Country, there are a lot of times we see a much different situation.

At a recent Village of Port Henry meeting concerning the setting of a date for the vote on a referendum to dissolve the incorporated government, there was seldom reverence. Early on in the meeting, as Mayor Ernie Guerin was reading the resolution regarding the setting of a date, he was interrupted mid-sentence by audience members, often asking questions that had more to do with a general topic then what was actually going on in

the moment. At one point, Guerin told audience members if that course of action continued, he would not hold a public comment period at the end of the meeting.

Several times, people would ask when public hearings and the vote were going to be held. If they had waited no more than 40 seconds, he would have read all of that as part of the resolution. Instead, a 10-minute meeting lasted over 40.

This is not an uncommon sight when it comes to people addressing controversial issues at town meetings, and far from the vision either FDR or Rockwell had for how the discourse should be handled.

To start, a town, village, county or other municipal meeting is a meeting of that organization. Other than during public comment periods (which, by the way, no municipality has to have), the only people who have the privilege of the floor are members of the board, unless they call upon and offer that privilege to someone else. Many times, a meeting can become bogged down if everyone tries to offer their two cents on every issue.

Our reporters have been to meetings which lasted three hours or more and did not even get half their business done.

A lot can come during this time by just listening. You can hear the concerns the members of the board have on the issues. You can see their thought processes. You can find out what you need to know in order to make an informed remark during the public comment period.

Also, audience members need to be respectful of other audience members. It can be a little uncomfortable to stand up in front of a crowd and say something, they don’t need to hear scoffs, whispers and heckling coming from the crowd.

Finally, board members need to respect the

right of the people to speak with public comment periods. At times, they may need to be limited, but should give people enough time to make a comprehensive point.

There are a lot of interesting topics facing many municipal boards in the weeks and months ahead. Our hope is everyone will work together to have a civilized, proper discussion on the issues and hold the board, fellow audience members and themselves to the reverence portrayed by Rockwell.

Response to “If Win wins, the voters Lose” To the Editor: Shame on Hudak supporter Bryan “ Liam” Kennelly.

I don’t personally know Bryan “Liam” Kennelly. I am told he is fresh out of law school and either a law partner of Essex County Judge candidate Brian Barrett or works out of his office in Lake Placid. One thing is clear from his letter to the editor, he doesn’t know Win Belanger or Shaun Gilliland.

To suggest that both are political partisan hacks and that Essex County would be better off if both these “veterans” devoted their free time by volunteering for public service as opposed to protecting the integrity of “our” electoral process is arrogant as well as ignorant and insulting of these two American servicemen.

Chief Master Sargent Win Belanger served 30 years of Active Duty in the United States Air Force and spent a dozen years recruiting men and women to join the armed services to protect our country, our freedoms, our liberty and just as important, our right to vote. He has earned a right to engage in whatever activities he chooses to. This is America and if he wants to volunteer his time to make sure that the integrity of the Essex County electoral process is intact, he’s earned that right.

Captain Shaun Gilliland served 25 years of active duty in the Navy as a Commanding Officer, NATO Officer (presently Supervisor of Willsboro and Essex County GOP Chairman) and is Chairman of the Public Safety Committee for Essex County which oversees Election Operations. Clearly a partisan activist who has earned the right to engage in whatever public service he chooses to. He chooses to serve as an independently elected Willsboro Supervisor. People refer to that as public service as well.

Bryan “Liam” Kennelly doesn’t know these men or their backgrounds. But what of

Bryan Kennelly or Luke Hudak? What do we know of them and their public service?

Luke Hudak is running for Essex County Clerk. He has no website to offer his qualifications and has not filed a candidate’s committee with the State Board of Elections.

Hudak indicated he retained the services of an Albany Election Attorney, Jim Long and former convicted and disbarred Supreme Court Justice Tom Spargo to review his petitions for accuracy and to protect his candidacy. If Luke Hudak has paid them for their legal services, we will soon know in a required financial disclosure requirement. We really don’t know much about Hudak’s candidacy other than he seems to be running with the assistance of Brian Barrett which is prohibited by the Advisory Committee for Judicial Ethics.

The only thing we do know in this early campaign is that Bryan Kennelly and his mother Susan Abbott Jones have written letters attacking two residents of Essex County who have 55 years of collective service to our country and thrown “dirt” at a County Clerk who has served this county for over 20 years.

Both Bryan Kennelly and Sue Abbott-Jones should be grateful that retired Captain Shaun Gilliland and Chief Master Sargent Win Belanger like so many of our servicemen and women protected their “right to free speech”. I call that commendable and thank all of them for their service to our country.

I think Bryan “Liam” Kennelly owes these two retired servicemen an apology but then again, I don’t know him and it probably won’t happen.

Flea market a true success

Consider police station impact on neighborhood

To the Editor: The Adirondack Tri-County Nursing & Rehab Center (ATCNRC) Auxiliary Flea Market held Saturday, Aug. 1 was a great success due to the support of the community.

Thank you to all who helped to do this. Supporters were North Creek and Schroon Lake TOPS markets; Warrensburg Price Chopper; North Creek Citizens Bank; Chestertown Glens Falls National Bank; The North Creek Farmers Market; and the Gore Mountain Region Chamber of Commerce; John Parker, Kelly Ordway, Michelle Fraser, and Jamie Reynolds and their staff from the home; community members who donated items or came to help and our dedicated members.

The winners of our raffle were first prize (four zero gravity chairs) Virginia Raymond, North Creek; second prize (Rachael Ray Cookware) Sam (Jim and Carolyn) Hutchins, North Creek; third prize (Rachael Ray Oven Ovals and Utensils) Donna Hitchcock, Sandwich, MA. ATCNRC is a not for profit nursing and rehabilitation facility.

Nancy Shaw, President Deana Wood, VP and Flea Market Chairperson North Creek

To the Editor: The Armory is located in the neighborhood located between Father Jogues Place on the north to Calkins Place on the south, and Amherst Avenue on the west to Champlain Avenue on the east. The neighborhood is a relatively quiet area to live and play, but it is a busy neighborhood due to existing institutional traffic: youth and senior recreation programs, two schools, two churches, and several professional businesses.

There is traffic from daily school buses, special school functions, sport activities, and parent visitations to class rooms. The Armory currently hosts two recreational programs, Youth Commission After School Program and Silver Bay YMCA Teen Center for children who walk or arrive by vehicles.

Senior citizens arrive at the Senior Citizen Center by vehicles or handicap bus, several using walking canes or a wheelchair, for various recreational programs, lunch and dinner. There is additional traffic from weekend and daily services at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Episcopal Church of the Cross as well as emergency trips by the Ambulance Building located nearby. Located in the neighborhood is a dental office, two law offices, and church and school offices. Nevertheless, property values remain intact, and despite all the traffic it is a relatively nice neighborhood to live and play.

A Police Station relocated in the Armory maintenance building will affect the quality of life in the neighborhood. Traffic will increase at the Police Station with routine police force business and emergency calls for help, fire, ambulance, and accidents. The Police Department also receives related visits from Sheriff Deputies to transfer prisoners to the County Jail, State Police, Environmental Officers, Conservation Wardens, and out of town visitors. Sex offenders are required to check in the Police Station regularly. The Police Station operates around-the-clock every day of the week. The Armory where children play is located 100 feet from the proposed Police Station, and 20 feet from a home with young children. In fact, the green lawn the children presently use for outdoor activities will no longer exist.

As for the Youth Center Programs, will parents continue to allow their children to attend? Will teenagers want to hang out next door to a Police Station? With additional traffic to and from the Armory, Senior Citizens have already become unduly anxious about their safety and how this will affect attendance at their recreational programs.

Neighbors worry that their property values will diminish.

A quiet neighborhood will transform over time to a neighborhood that resembles aspects similar to the downtown. This residential neighborhood will be gone with the relocation of the Police Station at the Armory maintenance building. This is an unacceptable solution. There are alternatives to the Police Station relocation.

Lester Bilow Ticonderoga

Ti Town Board, answer these questions To the Editor: I agree with the Ticonderoga Town Board: the Police Department needs a new home to best meet its professional needs. However, I do not agree with their sole focus to move the police into the Maintenance Building on the Armory Property.

Consider for yourself these three questions.

Q1: Why does the town board insist on relocating the police station onto the Armory Property against the terms of the deed?

The Armory deed states, “… [this property] shall be improved and maintained for recreational purposes.”

The public needs to be aware that when the town purchased this property in 2003 from the People of NY State for just one dollar, the conveyed deed restricted how it was to be used.

Q2: Without alternate proposals, how do taxpayers know this is the most costeffective location?

A few years ago, the town board hired an architectural firm to evaluate potential sites. The Armory main building was eliminated for the same legal issues cited above and the displacement of community groups already occupying the premises.

The two highest ranking alternative locations from this study were (1) a new consolidated services complex which would include the departments of highway, police, beautification, water and (2) a renovated Community Building.

I respect that current Supervisor Bill Grinnell, has credible experience in construction. However, that does not dismiss the remaining four board members’ need to be adequately and objectively informed by outside professionals through comparable site analyses.

Q3: Would police relocation to the Armory improve public safety?

Supervisor Grinnell believes it would. Yet, the leadership of the senior and youth organizations and the greater neighborhood who use the Armory are against it. Currently, more than 200 people have signed a letter voicing their disapproval.

Those opposed question how safe is it to mix fast-paced and urgent police activities, with the recreation of our senior and youth, also potentially putting them in close contact with criminals.

Without question, our police department deserves a suitable facility, easily accessible and visible to both residents and visitors. Likewise, the town board owes the taxpayers due diligence in determining the best location.

Joe Giordano Ticonderoga

Say no to relocation To the Editor: I am concerned about the Town Board’s proposal to relocate the Police Station into the maintenance building on the Armory property. I reviewed the project description, statement of probable costs, preliminary site plan and preliminary floor plan prepared

by AES Northeast, PLLC of Plattsburgh. The plans were requested by Ticonderoga Town Board for the proposed Police Station renovation/conversion at the Armory maintenance building. I am concerned about these proposed plans and the effects on the youth programs for my grandson and friends, usability for my son’s family and other young families, and for the senior recreation programs and their popular meal site directed by ACAP. My grandson has participated in the Youth Commission After School Program, which is located in the basement level of the Armory, since he was 5 years old.

For several years, his Dad has coached a successful basketball team sponsored by the Ticonderoga Youth Commission for his son and friends in the gymnasium on the first floor on weekends. In addition, my son and his family and other young families have used the Armory gymnasium for recreation playing volley ball and other sports on weekends. On the Senior level, I facilitate the Arthritis Exercise Class approved by Essex County Cooperative Extension on Wednesday and participate in a second class on Monday as well.

I worry about the safety of these different age groups attending their recreation programs at the Armory. I’ve seen first-hand how children move fast and don’t always pay attention to traffic, and how seniors move slowly because of age. The additional traffic will be problematic with no sidewalks, widened roadways, sharp curves, slopes and challenging entrance/exit patterns. Because of increased traffic, I’m also concerned about a possible decrease in attendance for these excellent youth, Senior, and family recreation programs at the Armory.

The Armory was gifted to the Town of Ticonderoga for one dollar ($1) by the State of New York to be used for recreation by the people. A Police Station is NOT a recreational use. The Armory is an historic building and its stately grounds, which will be turned into additional parking areas, were deeded to Ticonderoga for all of us to use for recreation. I must oppose the relocation of the Police Station on the Armory property.

At the Senior Center, there is a bulletin board displaying an enlarged copy of the preliminary plans, the NY State deed containing the mandate for recreation use, and other pertinent materials which you can view Monday thru Friday between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays until 1:30 p.m. Please stop by and be informed. Voice your opinion and sign the petition. Thank you.

Montcalm Mile appreciates support To the Editor: The 2015 Montcalm Mile was one for the record books thanks to the great support of the community.

This summer’s 29th annual race confirmed the Montcalm Mile’s reputation as a premier North Country event, attracting another record field and a host of national-level athletes. The race sold out with 450 runners and featured a NCAA Division I national champion, a national runner-up, college All-Americans, an Olympic trails qualifier and three runners who broke 4 minutes.

Athletes came from 23 states, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Alex Brimstein, Joshua McDougal and Joseph Gentsch pulled away from the field in the final 400 meters, battling to the tape. In a thrilling finish, Brimstein edged ahead on the final step to win in 3 minutes, 57.4 seconds. McDougal was second in 3:57.6 with Gentsch third in 3:59.2.

The quality and depth of the field puts the Montcalm Mile among the top road races in the country. To have the race decided by 2/10ths of a second and to have three runners under 4 minutes is incredible. Track fans are taking notice.

The race grows in popularity every year. We’ve had a record number of participants each of the last six years. The Montcalm Mile has become a great community tradition.

It’s rare to have an event that features elite athletes, recreational runners, children and families. It gets bigger and better every year.

The Montcalm Mile was again held just prior to Ticonderoga’s “Best Fourth in the North” parade. For the second year it offered $2,400 in prize money to attract top competitors.

With a men’s course record of 3 minutes, 54 seconds, the Montcalm Mile is believed to be the fastest mile anywhere in New York and Vermont, outside New York City.

Sponsoring this year’s Montcalm Mile were DeFranco Landscaping, the Ticonderoga Teachers Association, Circle Court Motel, Trout House Village, Ticonderoga Elks, Ticonderoga Walmart, International Paper, Treadway Motorsports, K&S Quality Meats, Kinetic Running of Plattsburgh, Altra Footwear, H2O Adventures Guide Service of Westport and the Times of Ti. Also assisting were the Ticonderoga Police Department, Ticonderoga Highway Department and Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.

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

COMMENTARY

Little Bits The Redford Picnic...

Gordie Little

Columnist

“Time to bank the foundation.” Do you have any clue what that means? I guess many don’t. In the old days people in this neck of the woods used hay and straw and dirt, or whatever was handy, to pile up along the base of their homes in an effort to keep the winter cold out.

In this region, that annual exercise came to be associated with what is called “The Fifteenth of Redford,” or simply “The Redford Picnic.” 2015 marks the 160th year for this fun event that captures the North Country spirit in myriad ways. It pretty much defines tradition around here and draws huge crowds every year.

It is associated with the Church of the Assumption in the hamlet of Redford and the Feast of the Assumption. For some years, it took place on August 15, thus the “Fifteenth of Redford.” Nowadays, it is still around mid-month, but is scheduled for the 16th—a Sunday. It might still be summer on the calendar, but a chill is creeping into the air.

Around 1910, a wonderful 19th century carousel or merry-go-round, was donated to the church and it has been lovingly restored and operated for the Redford Picnic each year. Giggling toddlers, happy senior citizens and many in between, line up all day long for a ride on this national treasure. How many photos would you guess have been taken there?

There are fewer and fewer such family events around here these days, so the Redford Picnic brings out the best in everyone who attends. Let me hear you say “Redford.” Local pronunciations are charming.

Some would say, “Ret’-furt” as in Frankfurt. Are you one of them? Redford is in the Town of Saranac, sometimes called “Sur’-nack” by old timers. I love it.

On a social media site, I recently solicited comments about whether more local history should be taught in our schools. Some agreed; others saw no value in it at all. I was astounded. I spoke with a young professional woman from this area in a local business recently, asking her what she knew of the Redford Picnic and the Fifteenth of Redford. A blank stare was my answer. No recognition of the Church of the Assumption, world-famous Redford Glass, or (here’s the topper) of Redford itself. She was born and brought up in Mooers.

I didn’t have the heart to ask her what she thinks of bluegrass music and the Gibson brothers who were raised almost in her back yard. Maybe she has heard of Roy Hurd, who will be at the picnic Sunday.

Ticonderoga Historical Society to celebrate end of WW-II 70th anniversary event set for Aug. 29

member,” Dolback said. “The number of veterans from this era is dwindling and we feel this is a fitting event at which to recognize their sacrifices.”

The USO Show will feature an array of talented singers, dancers and comedians.

“A number of surprise appearances by WWII-era celebrities are also promised as part of the show,” said Diane O’Connor.

In conjunction with the event, the Historical Society is seeking names of military veterans, regardless of their service years, to be maintained as part of an ongoing “honor roll” of those who served in the armed forces.

More information about the program and honor roll may be obtained from the Ticonderoga Historical Society at 585-7868 or via e-mail at tihistory@bridgepoint1.com. The organization’s website is ticonderogahistoricalsociety.org.

TICONDEROGA — On Aug. 14, 1945, Japanese Emperor Hirohito addressed his nation and the world, declaring an official surrender five days after a second Atomic bomb had laid waste to the city of Nagasaki.

It has been 70 years since the end of World War II, and the Ticonderoga Historical Society is preparing a day of remembrance and celebration for all those who served during wartime, earning a victory for the Allied Forces over Germany and Japan.

“When the Lights Go On Again,” will feature a full day of free activities commemorating the end of WWII Aug. 29, taking place on the grounds of the Hancock House at the Ticonderoga His-

torical Society.

“This is truly a day of something for everyone,” said Bill Dolback, THS President, in a release. “World War II era military vehicles, children’s activities, several programs and speakers of interest, and a rousing tribute to the USO Shows that toured battlefields and field hospitals during the war.”

“This is the result of an idea Bill had a couple of years ago,” Diane O’Connor said.

The event will open at 10 a.m. with a ceremony featuring a color guard from Fort Drum.

“We are honored that Fort Drum is sending a color guard, and that groups such as the Green Mountain Military Vehicle Club have placed us on their schedule,” Dolback said.

During the day, exhibits, programs and entertainment will take place.

“The impact of World War II is so important for everyone to re-

Super 8 Motel unveils updates at Ticonderoga location Slew of improvements touched every room in busy tourist hub

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — After a water main break affected service at the Super 8 Ticonderoga, the local hotel has bounced back in a big way.

Renovations and upgrades made recently to the facility have touched every hotel room. Repainting and new carpets have been installed in common areas.

The updates have taken place over the course of several months.

Some additional improvements will be occurring throughout the fall, but the bulk of the work has been completed.

Guests have already been enjoying new mattresses in all king size rooms. The facility’s wireless network capacity has also been upgraded. Other improvements have been to replace heating and air conditioning equipment.

Company officials heaped praise on the improvement project.

“I am very excited about all the changes that have taken place at the Super 8 this past year,” Lisa Fleming, regional manager of the chain of hotels said in a statement last week.

“We have a great new team here and I am looking forward to what the future will bring to the property and to Ticonderoga,” Amber Elehtrop, manager the Ticonderoga location, said in the statement.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has planned a ribbon cutting to mark the improvements next week.

“We are thrilled to be working with the team at the Super 8,” Matt Courtright, the group’s director said in a statement prepared by the organization.

CHAMBER GROUP TO HOLD RIBBON CUTTING WHAT: The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting to mark the recent improvements made at the Super 8.

WHEN: 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20.

Heroic Corn Maze has new twist at Fort Ticonderoga The 6-acre corn maze debuts this week

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga officials have put a new twist into an interactive exhibit to continue to cater to visitors from a diverse range of ages.

In a press release last month, officials asked: “What activity combines solving puzzles and testing your knowledge of history with fresh air, sunshine and over two miles of winding trails?”

Answer: “Fort Ticonderoga’s Heroic Maze.” The wind-

ing adventure debuted for the season this week at the

historic military installation along Lake Champlain.

Ò Beginning August 14, test your navigational skills among towering stalks of corn in Fort TiconderogaÕ s new 6-acre corn maze located near the KingÕ s Garden,Ó fort officials added.

Fort Ticonderoga’s corn maze features the shape of the fort and the year 1756.

The corn maze, which is located near the popular King’s Garden exhibit at the fort, has a new design, officials announced. The maze features the shape of Fort Ticonderoga and the year 1756.

It has been divided into two phases, which officials say will give visitors a chance to gain confidence in the smaller maze before tackling a larger maze. On average, they anticipate it will take from 20 minutes for the first phase and up to an hour for the second phase.

Hidden within the maze are eight stations, which each represent a component of an 18th-century fort.

Those looking to participate in a game aspect of the attraction will be given a Quest Card to collect a stamp from each station. “It takes perseverance and skill to find all of the objects,” officials said, adding that it’s “great fun” for all ages.

Another aspect of the maze is Ò back by popular demand.” That portion is a Kiddie Maze, which is a short exhibit designed to give youngsters a fun introduction to corn mazes. It is recommended for children up to age four, with adult supervision.

The fortÕ s general admission price includes access to the corn-centered exhibit. The maze will be open daily Aug. 14 - 31, and weekends Sept. 5 - Oct. 18. It will also be open on Labor Day and Columbus Day. For more details about the corn maze, visit fortticonderoga.org/visit/corn-maze for corn maze details or call 585-2821.

Schroon Lake hires Jenks as girls’ soccer coach Boys’ program will play combined with Johnsburg

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

SCHROON — Katie Jenks has been named as the girls’ varsity soccer coach at the Schroon Lake Central School.

The school board voted Tuesday to hire Jenks to lead the program for the upcoming season. It’s a positive development for those who want to see the district continue to field its own girls’ soccer team during the 2015-16 school year.

In May, athletic director Lee Silvernail told the board the school would likely be unable to put its own team out. The district didn’t have the “critical number of students” to consistently fill its soccer teams, Silvernail told officials during a late May board meeting.

Silvernail said the varsity boys’ soccer program faced a similar dilemma. Its fortunes haven’t been so lucky as the girls’ squad. In the fall, officials said, Schroon Lake boys are expected to join the Johnsburg district on a merged team. Schroon Lake intends to put in place a one-year arrangement for the boys program.

In other action, board members accepted the resignation of Jeff Cutting as the boys’ modified basketball coach for the 2015-2016 season.

Fundraiser planned for Olympic hopeful Studler

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@suncommunitynews.com

BRANT LAKE Ñ Eighteen-year-old Abe Studler is on his way to becoming the next Adirondack Olympian on the United States ski team, but the trail to get him there is as steep as it is expensive.

In an attempt to combat the financial burden of rising travel costs to attend competitions, the Studler family is planning the second in a series of area fundraisers to benefit Abe’s Olympic dream — a bicycle ride through his hometown of Brant Lake, starting at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22.

The ride is set to begin and end at The Hub on Market Street, and riders are given the choice of a 22 or 33 mile route. Following the ride, participants are invited to enjoy a complimentary lunch and live music, courtesy of the Studler family. The registration fee is $25.

Abe has been skiing since he was 18 months old, learning to navigate the slopes at Gore Mountain in North Creek and through regular weekend trips to Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid. Ò He got really good, re-

ally fast,Ó recalled his father, Don Studler.

So fast, in fact, that by five years old he was skiing all the black diamond trails at Whiteface, and by nine he had earned himself a spot on both the alpine and mogul teams there, sponsored by the New York Ski Educational Foundation.

From there, Abe went on to earn the top prize in the Eastern U.S. Championships in both the B division and the A division Ñ the latter including all the top skiers in the U.S., even those on the World Cup and Olympic teams — as well as catching the attention of a recruiter from elite ski school the Killington, for which he accepted a substantial scholarship Ñ all before he turned 16.

Now, Abe competes on the North American tour circuit, made up four events in the U.S. and Canada which showcase the skills of the top skiers in both countries, as well as number from of foreign countries such as Australia and Japan. Ò Needless to say, AbeÕ s expenses are skyrocketing,” Don said.

Last year, AbeÕ s travel, coaching, food and registration fees totaled around $30,000, and he is preparing to do it all over again this year.

Abe said the upcoming season will be a deciding season for him, as he has been accepted to attend the University of Vermont, but has opted to defer for

a year to continue with a post-graduate year at KMS and continue on the NorAm circuit.

Joining the U.S. ski team has been his goal since he began competing, Abe said, and he is closer now than ever before.

In fact, both the head coach and the developmental coach of the Olympic team have already coached Abe, as both men were recently hired from KMS in a total overhaul of the U.S. team’s coaching staff. Ò We have an in,Ó Don quipped, noting that the coaches still regularly work with Abe on the tour circuit.

Abe is currently ranked first in the Eastern U.S. in the junior category — 18 and under Ñ and fourth altogether. In the entire country, Abe is ranked 29th in single moguls and 23rd in dual moguls. With these numbers, Don said Abe is approximately ten spots away from making the Olympic team, a spot which one earns by accumulating a certain number of points at competitions.

In the meantime, Abe continues to train yearround for the upcoming season. With a little help from the Adirondack community, he hopes to represent the U.S. at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeonchang, South Korea.

Bobby Sweet to headline local music night in Ti Ti’coustics brings second headliner

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — For the second time this month, the Ti’coustics music series will bring a popular headliner to the stage at the Burleigh House.

Bobby Sweet, who plays guitar as part of the Arlo Guthrie band, will be headlining the Wednesday, Aug. 19 show.

“Bob is probably best known for the pure, downhome music and the lyrics he creates,” Roberta Whiteley said. “He is an accomplished singer and guitarist who will be playing his own original, down to earth music.”

Sweet had several songs featured on television shows, including “Nashville,” “Touched by an An-

gel,” and “Walker, Texas Ranger.”

Whiteley added there will also be a second act performing Aug. 19.

“This special show will feature Lara Tupper, an exceptional entertainer, having sung on cruise ships and in many foreign countries,” she said.

“Lara has written a novel’ “1,001 Nights,” about the trials of living on a cruise ship. She currently teaches creative writing at Kripalu in the Berkshires, and entertains at local establishments.”

Other acts for the titled, “A Sweet Night of Music,” include two of Sweet’s sisters, Debby and Tina, who will sing, also cousin Amanda Whiteley and Roberta Whiteley.

The show will take place from 7 until 9 p.m. at the Burleigh House, 120 Montcalm Street, Ticonderoga.

There is no cover charge, and all donations go to the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership to assist with events throughout the year.

Rick Harker, who has operated Mountain Time furniture and auction company in Ticonderoga for the past 14 years, is moving to Colorado to pursue studies at a Bible college. Plans are in the works for a new owner to take over the downtown business.

Ti auction house to see transition in ownership Longtime operator of Mountain Time is headed to Bible college; Transition plan in place to keep downtown business open

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

TICONDEROGA — ItÕ s been a good run for

Rick Harker, who has operated Mountain Time furniture and auction company in Ticonderoga for 14 years.

Harker plans to step away from the auctioning business later this month to pursue a pastoral studies program out of state.

But customers will continue to receive topnotch service in a few weeks when Craig Cassidy, a buyer/seller from Rutland, Vt., who takes over the reins of the store, said Harker, who expects a smooth transition.

Harker and his family plan to move to Colorado where plans to study at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park. But saying goodbye to the grand display windows and familiar floors of the store at 105 Montcalm St. won’t come without some emotion.

“It’s very emotional now because we have served the community now for 14 years, so itÕ s not easy just to go,” Harker said in an interview at the store earlier this week.

In his last few days at the helm of Mountain Time, Harker said heÕ s taking steps to ensure the local business handles the transition well.

With the tourist season winding down, the end of August is a relatively good time to step away.

In addition, Harker anticipates the new owner will continue to sell mattresses with warranties and that two staff members will stay on under the new ownership.

Harker, who is originally from Indiana, oversaw the small business through a variety of economic conditions and grew to know many people in the town. Ò You donÕ t realize what youÕ ve got until you know it’s going. I will miss the people. I will miss the work. I will miss my employees.”

For Harker, his next chapter will see his family following through on what he called a Ò heartfelt callingÓ to serve in some sort of Christian ministry. But even though his new home will be located more than 1,900 miles away, Harker didnÕ t rule out a return to the place thatÕ s been his home for the past 14 years.

“If the Lord wills it, I’ll be back in Ticonderoga again,” Harker said.

Bobby Sweet will perform as part of the Ti’coustics music series Aug. 19.

to the polls,” McDonough said.

Trustee Matt Brassard said he wants to know what will happen to current services offered by the village should its incorporation be taken away.

“My biggest thing is I want every resident to know what they are getting from the town,” Brassard said. “Are the roads going to be plowed the same way? Is there going to be garbage and recycling services? These are things a lot of residents use and they want to know if it will still be there.”

Brassard also talked about the employees on the village.

“I want to know if my guys are going to have a job,” he said.

Trustee Thomas McDonald did not mince words when asked what he wants to see as the endgame from the public hearing process.

“I do not want to see the village dissolved,” McDonald said. “I have lived in the village for 79 years and I enjoy what I have here. I think the village has become a lot more presentable and I think the village www.suncommunitynews.com government will continue to head that way.”

Moriah youth bringing BackPack program to her school

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

PORT HENRY — Two months ago, Moriah Central School student Brooke Mildon was trying to find a project worthy of the Girl Scout Gold Award.

What she decided on is bringing a program to her school which has been in place at several schools regionally to help end childhood hunger known as the BackPack Program.

“Alicia (Slattery, lunchroom manager and project advisor for Mildon) has wanted to do this in our school and when I asked her about it, she thought it was a really great chance to have a program here she had seen in other local schools.”

Mildon received the support of the school board, which included board member and Essex County Youth Bureau Director Dan Sadowski, who offered $1,000 in support from the youth bureau along with grant writing assistance and further resources.

“We had a meeting at the youth bureau where John Bartlett had talked to us about the active program they have going in Ticonderoga,” Sadowski said. “At the end of the meeting, he said if we knew of anyone who needed help starting the program to let him know, so I passed his information along to Brooke.”

“She told me a little birdie had said she should contact me,” Bartlett added. “I have been involved with the program in Ticonderoga for the past three years and was happy to help when Brooke called me.”

“I asked him a lot of questions about how you get the program started and what to do,” Mildon said. “He also gave me a lot of information about grants, which Mr. Sadowski said he could help with.”

“She has a 30-page project overview she put together for Girl Scouts so it is quite comprehensive,” mother Val Mildon said.

So far, Mildon has received $3,000 in funds from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, PRIDE of Ticonderoga and the Youth Bureau, who each donated $1,000. She has also reached out to other local organizations to seek funding. Also, there will be a bottle drive Saturday, Aug. 15, to help fund the program.

“It costs approximately $175 a year to sponsor one child,” Mildon said. “My goal is to service 30 students this year, which costs $5,000. It is my hope the program will grow each year and eventually all students who are in need of this program can receive backpacks.”

Mildon, who needs 80 hours of service time in the program for it to qualify under the Gold Award guidelines, said she will easily meet the quota.

“We are still trying to get grants and fundraise,” she said. “I am also working on finding volunteers to help with packing food and form a committee which will oversee the program. We are also going to contact parents to see if they want their child to participate.”

“Brooke will find ways to get things done no matter what obstacles she comes across,” said Bill Larrow, school superintendent and assistant project advisor for Mildon.

Mildon said there are 723 students in Moriah Central, with 52-percent receiving free and/or reduced breakfast/lunch funding.

“The BackPack Program is an effective way to address child hunger in my community and is a great way to get food directly into the hands of children who need it,” she said. “This program meets the needs of hungry children by providing them with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations when other resources are not available. The final goal is to help bring a solution to childhood hunger in the town of Moriah.”

According to Mildon’s plan, the BackPack Program committee will determine students who are eligible and notify parents who can opt in or out of the program. Food will be delivered twice a month to Schroon Lake Central, where a member of the Moriah custodial team will pick it up and bring it to the district. There, the food will be packed by various groups of volunteers before being distributed to the children.

Mildon plans to follow up on the progress of the program by sending questionnaires to families to monitor the success.

To sponsor a child or give a donation to the Moriah BackPack Program, send checks to Moriah Central School attn: BackPack Program. Check can also be made out to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York as a tax-deductable donation.

Brooke Mildon (second seated from right) is working to bring the BackPack Program to Moriah Central School as part of her Gold Award requirements for Girl Scouts. Helping her at a recent meeting are, from left, mother Val Mildon, Ticonderoga BackPack Program leader John Bartlett, Essex County Youth Bureau Director and Moriah school board member Dan Sadowski, superintendent and assistant project advisor Bill Larrow, and lunchroom manager and project advisor Alicia Slattery.

Bottle Drive for BackPack Program

A bottle drive, with proceeds to benefit the Moriah BackPack Program, will be held Saturday, Aug. 15. For bottle pickup, contact Brooke Mildon at 942-8112 or 572-6967.

OBITUARIES

FrederickÊ FrankÊ Koenig

IvanÊ A.Ê Wright

HAGUE — Frederick Frank Koenig, 90, of Hague, passed away on Tuesday, August 4, 2015, at his residence.

Born in Germany, May 1, 1925, he was the son of the late William and Bertha Koenig.

Frank was a veteran of the U.S. Army, having served during W.W. II and was the recipient of two purple hearts.

He was a resident of Summit, New Jersey for many years and was self-employed as a Contractor.

Frank and his wife, Katie moved to Hague in 1985. He was a member of the Hague Fire Department and Hague Fire Police, and also served as Captain of the Fire Police. He was also a member of the Hague American Legion and Past Commander of the Legion.

Survivors include his wife, Katie (Schiffer) Koenig; two daughters, Betty Mosley of Casper, Wyoming and Nancy Koenig of Cooperstown, NY; and one brother, Charles Koenig of California.

He was pre-deceased by his step-son, Mark Vezos.

There will be no funeral services.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Wilcox & Regan Funeral Home of Ticonderoga.

To offer online condolences, please visit wilcoxandreganfuneralhome.com

TICONDEROGA — Ivan A. Wright of England and Ticonderoga, passed away on August 6, 2015.

He was 94. Many folks knew him as the “scooter man”.

Sadly, he was predeceased by his wife Wendy, of nearly 70 years, just two months ago. To many, he died of a broken heart.

Ivan spent most of his life as a design engineer, but during WWII England, he worked in the production of radar vacuum tubes, a highly skilled and restricted occupation. His spare time was spent serving his country in the Royal Home Guard as a Dispatch Rider. Despite the hazards of his duty (and there were many as the war raged), he was very proud to aid the war effort in two capacities.

Ivan was a clever man, designing marvels and holding several patents. He was also an avid photographer, painter, and lover of classical music.

He is survived by a son Marcus, daughter-in-law Barbara, and daughter Janine.

Ivan’s family has requested that in lieu of flowers, a donation please be sent to the North Country SPCA in Westport.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Wilcox & Regan Funeral Home of Ticonderoga.

EYE ON THE ARTS

People and water, dogs and water The dog shakes droplets of water from her coat. Immediately, squeals of laughter, then the gentle padding of small bare feet running away from the spray.

If you are thirsty, your dog is thirsty. Leave big cool bowls of fresh water out for your pets.

And drink lots of the cold stuff yourself.

Coins clink against the tin can, and against each other, when inserted through the slit cut into a plastic lid. The top is a removable top, in case a customer needs to make their own change.

The unattended roadside stands are charming and convenient. So are the farmers market’s which sprout up every spring, which are now in full swing this summer, and then hibernate in the fall.

Eat and feed your family and friends fresh, locally grown food. It’s delicious, healthy, supports your local economy and can drastically reduce your carbon foot print.

If you don’t know of a Farmers Markets near you, check out our online Calendar of Events.

For Eric Rafferty, of Ticonderoga, one of the sweetest things he hears is: “When the big trucks are in the ‘pit,’ the sound is loud and powerful.”

The “pit” is one of five monstrous (250 x 20 feet) pools of mud. The “big trucks” are hauling 600 CC of power, and when they collide in a head to head competition it is like a parting of a thick brown sea. Muck flies away from the trucks, and dirty water crashes down around them.

The trucks, sitting high atop gigantic tires (42” and larger) are entrenched in liquid dirt and leave long trails of soggy earth, behind them.

Rafferty, the man behind the mud, said he was inspired by a similar event held by a friend in Bennington, Vt. The festivities in Bennington must have been a blast� Because not long after his visit, ‘across the pond’, Rafferty decided he would host one too.

The “Bog” began in 2010, with the assistance of 25-30 friends, called the “Bucket Bog Crew” (BBC).

Rafferty said between 800-1,200 mud enthusiasts, give an $8 donation (children, 5 and under are free) to watch roughly 55 trucks and 30 ATV’s duke it out it out in the rivers of slime.

Additionally, many ATVs will be put through an obstacle course, testing the driver’s agility.

Bette, who has taken her son to the event shared some sage advice: ‘If you go, wear your muck boots, it can get muddy�’ With a “Bounce House” for the children, food vendors for the family, and live music after 8:30 p.m. — this festivity sounds like a big vat of fun.

Racing starts at noon. If you want to bring your big toys to join in the fun and don’t mind getting a little dirty; arrive in Putnam right over the Ticonderoga line, this Saturday by 9:30 a.m., and plunk down $25 to register. Then you can slide into some waders, if you have them, and ‘Game On’� Additional information can be found on their Facebook page, on hundreds of posters around the area or by calling 518-586-6273.

Bon or Campfires Finally the paper “catches” and the wood pile is filled with dancing flames of light. Popping and crackling noises accompany the sparks as they fly into the night.

In December of 2010 a bunch of generous, creative souls banded together.

The group’s objectives were to enhance the quality of life in the village of Hudson Falls and the surrounding communities by providing performance and educational opportunities through music, dance, theater and the visual arts.

With this concept in mind, the following people: musician/ composer Jonathan Newell, record producer Stu Kuby, Professor Nicholas Buttino, and Community member Judith Johnson, founded The Hudson River Music Hall.

Now, they are having a benefit (awesome party) to raise money to restore the place where all this creative energy lives. The “Hall” or former Strand Theater in Hudson Falls, is a really big restoration project and the gigs they are throwing to help fund it are amazing� Here�s a small sampling: • The British Music Invasion Weekend begins on Saturday, Aug. 15 and continues through Sunday, Aug. 16 from 2-11 pm, at the Charles R. Wood Festival Commons in Lake George (former site of Gaslight Village) • On Saturday, the daytime activities include: Live music on �B� stage, pony rides, face painting, bouncy houses, chicken BBQ and more.

• The Main Stage Events start at 7 p.m. with a Tribute to The Rolling Stones featuring The Tumblin’ Dice and at 9: p.m. a Tribute to Led Zeppelin with “Out On The Tiles.”

• The fun continues on Sunday when a tribute to �The Beatles� featuring �Across The Pond� takes the Main Stage, at 7 p.m., followed by a tribute to “Yes” with “Alice Frost” at 9 p.m.

• Tickets are $15 per day or $25 for a 2 day pass for adults, $10 per day or $15 for a 2 day pass for students, and seniors and veterans, children under 12 are free.

All proceeds benefit the Strand Theater Revival in Hudson Falls. A great time for a good cause, you have my attention�

Notes from the North Woods Joe Hackett

Joe@suncommunitynews.com

W

hile traveling in wild and primitive lands, we shed many of the constraints modern day society places upon us, which allows us to rediscover our natural

traits.

In the process, we become more relaxed, and our senses are refined and re-calibrated. As our sense of smell increases, so too do our sense of hearing, taste and touch. In a sense, we go through a process of personal re-wilding.

However, it is important to remember that, we should never allow our wild actions to intrude on the enjoyment of others who go there for similar purposes.

It’s also important to recognize that not everyone enjoys the woods and waters in similar fashion. Many come seeking an opportunity for simple peace and quiet, while others relish the challenges of hiking, biking. fishing or to simply enjoy the solitude of the backcountry. Despite personal preferences, the common thread is a return to a more relaxed and primitive existence.

In our efforts to return to nature, outdoor activities may range from simply staring at the fire to rappelling off a cliff or casting a fly on a Stillwater pond. It is important to note that while most travelers come seeking natural experiences. Their expectations are rarely identical. As a result, there are bound to be user conflicts, when visitors attempt to share natural resources for conflicting purposes.

Its difficult for dry fly fishermen to share a quiet trout pond with a group of kids skipping stones Equally as frustrating, are the wide range of camp amenities available at both public and private campsites which can range from primitive tarp shelters to luxurious motor homes.

Equally as frustrating are the range of perspectives on what constitutes a camp and camping. On the spectrum of wildness, are non-motorized, primitive campsites truly wilder than remote. motorized access locations? How doed a mechanical means of transportation affect the “camping experience”, versus motorized?

Is the sight and sound of a floatplane different than the roar of

www.suncommunitynews.com

a Coleman lantern? Is the din of a Jet Burner camp stove more or less intrusive than a mountain bike chattering down an old, logging road?

In such instances, it usually comes down to personal perspectives, and to each their own. These are just a few of the questions that will continue to vex both wildland planners and wildland travelers.

I raise the topic in the wake of a recent experience I had while biking through the wilds of the former Gooley Club property. Although the vast property remains iis in a state of transition, it seems to have already attracted plenty of traffic. Over the years, I have hosted a number of fishing parties in the region; after flying into First Lake with Helms Aero Service out of Long Lake. Despite the recent public access to the new State lands appears to be relatively unchanged. There’s still evidence of the former hunting camps, and the usual debris of old pails, barrels and the rusted equipment that comes with logging, forestry and camp life. The former compound is just a shell of what it once was, and there was far less traffic than I had expected.

While it appears the wild lands encompassed within the former Gooley Club property remain largely undiscovered and underutilized by the traveling public; it’s obvious hiking trails in the popular High Peaks Wilderness continue to be overrun. Unfortunately, there’s been no way to disburse hikers evenly throughout the region. While returning from my visit to the Gooley Club property, I counted over 200 vehicles parked along Route 73, stretching from St. Huberts to the Cascade Lakes, There were more vehicles parked on the shoulders of the road, than in the overflowing parking lots.

There’s a real need to disburse the crowds, to insure a safe flow of traffic, but it’s sure to get worse before it gets better.

Camping with Children Over the course of my career as a guide, I’ve hosted hundreds of camping trips Undoubtedly, my most memorable outings occurred while camping with my own kids.

However, I’ve also listened to the memories of many adults who first began their camping careers with me, back when they were kids. Adirondack summers are made for camping, and it’s usually the only season available for youngsters to participate.

Quite possibly, the most important element in introducing kids to camp is to keep the first few outings short, exciting and full of fun�

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

Before taking to the deep woods, it’s wise to conduct a few practice camping trips in your own backyard, where kids can bail out to their own beds if necessary. Make sure the first real trip is safe, comfortable and full of learning opportunities. A bored kid is a troubled kid� If possible, bring along a friend, and include them in all of the camp chores, from pitching the tent to gathering firewood and cooking the marshmallows. It’s always more fun camping with children when they have a playmate along. Two or more children will entertain themselves for longer than a single child can. It’s also easier for them conquer their fears when there’s someone to share them with.

Safety first: Keep them in sight; kids can disappear in the blink of an eye. Give each one a whistle on a lanyard, they’ll feel safer, and you can relax. Always hike together and keep the activities fun, fast and exciting. Always quit before they want to.

Pack their clothes in individual plastic bags and label them by the day. Before leaving camp throw in an extra set of clothes in your pack. because accidents do happen� Kids get cold faster than adults, so dress them in layers which can be added or removed as needed.

Give them a whistle on a lanyard to put around their neck, and develop a secret code . One short blast means trouble, two means everything is OK and three blasts means come immediately, “I’m hurt or I’m hungry.” Give them a personal flashlight, and strap it to their pack. Kids love to play with flashlights, and it makes them more at ease after dark. They’re also great for making shadow puppets and chasing away monsters in the dark.

Monsters just aren’t so scary when they can see that it’s just a red squirrel making all those weird noises.

Crown Point man’s second-degree murder trial opens Arguments and testimony are underway in the case involving the 2012 shooting death of brother Russell Lang

By Christopher Pratt

christopher@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Prosecutors in the second-degree murder trial of David Lang spent three days last week piecing together for a jury details of the 2012 shooting death that took the life of his brother, Russell Lang.

According to attorneys in the Essex County Attorney’s office, David Lang had the intention to kill Russell during the summer incident at their Crown Point residence. But Lang’s defense team contends it was an accidental shooting.

The trial got underway with opening arguments last Wednesday and continued into late Friday afternoon. Attorneys from the county prosecutor’s office called a slate of witnesses to walk the jury through details of events that unfolded at the Lang’s residence on Lake Road three summers ago.

Prosecutors Jamie Martineau and Michael Langey are helping to spearhead the case for the Essex County Attorney. Defense attorneys include Thomas Schiels of the Tendy Law Office of New York City and Peter Pope of the Chicago-based law firm Jenner and Block.

The prosecution’s case aims to prove to the jury that David Lang intended to cause the death of his brother. Witnesses have included Lawrence Bashaw Jr., an Essex County dispatcher, New York State Police troopers Chris Bogart and Jason Peters, a staff member who treated Russell at Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga and New York State Police investigator Ricky Adragna.

Another prosecution witness was Peter DeForest, a forensic specialist, who detailed for the jury his analysis of how a bullet went through a hat worn by Russell Lang.

DeForest, who has been a faculty member at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and written a textbook on criminalistics, explained that crime scene investigators make many judgment calls.

DeForest said it is a, “real intellectual exercise to be able to recognize what’s significant and what is not. And one tries to be precise as possible.”

A focal point of DeForest’s testimony centered on the significance of a broken tree branch documented at the crime scene. DeForest, whose testimony spanned several hours Friday, said a break on the branch was inconsistent with a bullet going through it.

DeForest said if he were at the scene he would not have collected the branch. A judgment call was made at the scene after the item was photographed.

“They didn’t collect it and that is a proper thing to do,” the witness said in response to a question from Schiels.

Schiels’ questioning seemed to reflect a defense argument that aspects of investigation were sloppy.

Although DeForest said the branch shown wasn’t relevant, Schiels suggested that it would have been better for him to examine the actual branch.

Lang’s case never went to trial in 2013 after accepting a plea deal that found him guilty of first-degree manslaughter. Earlier this year, a state appeals court ruled that aspects of Lang’s case, including details that show his plea was coerced and/or involuntary, were reviewable.

The appeals court sent back to be tried in the Essex County Court.

Testimony was slated to continue this week at the county courthouse. Check back to suncommunitynews.com for updates to this story.

Heritage Sunday services to be observed in Crown Point CROWN POINT — On Sunday, Aug. 16, at 9:30 a.m., almost 190 years from the time that The Reverend S.L. Herrick, Pastor of The First Congregational Church of Crown Point, began holding Services in a rural portion of the community known as Ironville, current members and the Pastor of First Congregational Church, and the United Methodist Churches of Crown Point, will join with the Penfield Historical Society and all those in attendance, in a Heritage Day Service at the old Second Congregational Church Meeting House.

The church records show that at a Special Meeting of the Con-

gregational Society, in 1846, “The Second Congregational Church of Crown Point,” was formed. Congregationalism, inheritors of the free spirit of the Separatists that left England aboard a tiny vessel called “The Mayflower” in 1620, came together as a Christian community to build a church home where all would feel welcome, where all had a voice in the path they believed God was directing them.

The faith of those early settlers, carved out of the wilderness of the Adirondacks, a church building in 1845 and Dedicated in October of that year. The building cost $1,600 and boasted a basement used

Board of elections agrees on new policies

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — Following a flap at the board of elections last month that saw the county’s two election commissioners disagree over the procedure for reviewing ballot objections, a new process will now be instituted, reported the commissioners on Monday.

Democratic Commissioner Mark Whitney said he and his counterpart, Republican Commissioner Allison McGahay, worked with the state board of elections to adopt the procedures, which will be in place by the time petitions from independent candidates are due on Aug. 18.

Using state guidelines as a baseline, the new regulations lay out the rules for objections, including which abbreviations can be used and ensuring clear and exact reasons for why the objector is challenging the signatures.

In addition, a bipartisan team must review the materials and make their rulings in a timely manner, with deputies assigned in the event of the absence of either commissioner.

Whitney said the lack of a set process was why the procedure got tripped up last week.

McGahay disagreed, arguing these were the very same set of state-approved rules that she had been pushing for all along.

“It sounds like these are already in place,” said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. “Don’t you have to follow those anyways?”

“I’ve always followed what the state board of elections puts out,” responded McGahay.

Last month, Whitney wanted to stage courtroom-type proceedings to rule on the disputed ballots of three local candidates, said McGahay.

McGahay said the process was illegal and would have got the county sued, a viewpoint she reiterated to lawmakers on Monday.

Whitney argued that the commissioners didn’t have an agreed-upon process that would have acted as a roadmap for reviewing challenged signatures. This is why he didn’t authorize his deputy to rule on his behalf when he went on vacation, he said.

The candidates are North Hudson town council hopeful Brian Gaza, a Republican; John Drinkwine, a Democrat who is running for town council in Willsboro, and Luke Hudak, the Democratic candidate for Essex County Clerk.

Barring a legal challenge, all will remain on the ballot for the general election this November.

Whitney eventually ruled on the ballots in his office with Essex County Democratic Chair Bethany Kosmider, a process that frustrated local officials, who said the process was clandestine and uncalled for considering the two commissioners needed to agree for a signature to ultimately be thrown out.

Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew asked Whitney if he felt as if his actions compromised the electoral process.

Whitney said they didn’t and repeated that the issue stemmed from the lack of a set process.

“Prior to today, we had not adopted, as two commissioners, a process,” said Whitney. “We disagreed on the process. We

now have an agreement on a process.”

The meeting wasn’t without friction.

Shaun Gillilland, the public safety chair who is charged with overseeing the board of elections, noted guidance should ideally come from the next highest authority if a government doesn’t have a policy or law in place.

“This was about not following any policy,” said McGahay.

Whitney said objected to that characterization.

Later, he asked the board for forgiveness for the distraction.

“The process issue somehow became politicized in the press,” said Whitney.

“My position was not to respond to rumor, innuendo and unfounded statements.”

The commissioner pointed out that following reports of the incident on July 30, none of the lawmakers called him to discuss the issue.

Following the incident, the board decided to resurrect the sub-committee that oversees the board of elections, said Essex County Chair Bill Ferebee.

“As of today, we will reactivate the board of election task force,” said Ferebee.

Both Whitney and McGahay said they didn’t know if court action could still be filed.

Primary voters will held to the polls next month.

Essex County Manager Dan Palmer warned lawmakers against discussing anything overtly political until that issue could be hammered out.

But, he said, “anytime we get two commissioners to agree on anything is good.”

for the education of it’s members and the community. It was a focal point of that small, growing community. It provided not only a place of Worship, but a communal center for meetings, times of joy and of loss, and great struggle during the early days of this area.

This special Service will bring together friends and families from the area. It will serve as a bridge from the days before electricity and electric organs to this time of computers and microchips.

Led by Pastors David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church and Pastor Gregg Trask of the United Methodist Church, the Service will recall hymns (played on the historic “pump” organ by Jackie Popp), scriptures, prayers, anecdotal information and Messages for both children and the young at heart. Special music will fill the air as folks from all over join to worship. All of this will join not only tradition but the hearts of faith that sustained those original worshippers and still is relevant to this day.

Pastors Hirtle and Trask have issued a challenge on this particular Sunday. The friends and members of the Parish are to attempt to “pack a pew” with their own friends and family much as would have been done in the early days of worship here in the greater Crown Point area.

Essex County emergency squads at code blue

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — First responders filled the galley at the board of supervisors meeting on Monday to send a simple message: We’re here, we’re saving your lives and we need your help.

But the squads are dying.

By now, the formula is well-worn: The two percent tax cap has put municipalities in a holding pattern. Spending is stagnant, while costs continue to rise.

Due to time commitments and training requirements, fresh blood is hard to come by and volunteers continue to work themselves ragged.

Squads are growing increasingly fragile with each passing year, explained Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad Captain Patty Bashaw.

Each call-in from a staffer results in a game of musical chairs between agencies, resulting in rotating coverage gaps across the county.

Everyone hopes the center will hold.

One agency, Crown Point, has already been shuttered, while others are on life support, including those in Moriah and that department that is

jointly operated by Essex-Willsboro, both of which depend on key players to remain sustainable.

Authorities just hope they can make it through the day without a mass casualty incident that cast the holes into gaping, perhaps even lethal, relief.

“There’s going to be a catastrophic event and someone’s going to die because we can’t move an ambulance in a timely manner,” Bashaw told lawmakers.

While the deep fissures gurgle right under the surface, they occasionally nearly burst out into the open — like last month’s Iron Man competition in Lake Placid, for instance, when authorities scrambled to replace a sick staffer.

Failure to do so would have delayed the swim portion of the event.

Despite these well-documented problems, the needle hasn’t moved forward at the state level.

“This has been an extremely frustrating process,” said Essex County Vice Chair Randy Preston, who has long been an advocate for throwing first responders a lifeline. “For reasons I can’t figure out, I can’t get anyone at the state level to listen.”

It’s not for lack of recruitment efforts.

In Keene Valley, for instance, volunteers knocked on 150 doors recently to drum up inter-

est.

Two signed up.

“This is an extremely, extremely important topic,” said Bashaw. “Every single agency is having some sort of coverage problem.”

Lawmakers agreed to beef up their outreach efforts, perhaps even sending delegations to Albany to meet with the state’s representatives, including Dan Stec and Betty Little.

Per diems might be an answer, said Bashaw, but noted those workers would likely need second jobs to supplement their income.

Last month, the county approved hiring four per diem staffers to man their 911 center.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava dryly noted the irony of hiring per diem staffers to handle calls for medical emergencies that perhaps may go unattended due to the lack of personnel to physically respond to them.

Scozzafava tied the shortage to broader policy issues.

If Essex County were allowed to form a countywide ambulance district, costs would be minimal if all assessed values contributed towards those costs, said the lawmaker.

Essex County has about $12 billion in taxable value, but $2 billion of that is tax-exempt.

“A lot of exempt properties aren’t paying a dime toward those [services], but they’re receiving the benefits,” said Scozzafava.

Bashaw also noted some structural flaws.

Fire districts can raise taxes each year to accommodate growing costs without town oversight, she said, but ambulance districts face no such luxury.

Some squads are exploring the idea of reincorporating into nonprofits, a measure that will allow them to bill for services, a measure that is currently illegal under state law if the departments operate as an extension of the fire department.

Essex and Willsboro are working on forming two separate ambulance districts which they will later merge into one, if approved by taxpayers.

Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland called the entire system “antiquated.”

“This problem is bigger than the ability of two towns to solve,” he said. “We need to attack it at the county level.”

Ed Gardner, of Essex, said the department is facing a perilous situation due to the sudden loss of a key player, perhaps permanently, over the weekend.

“It’s a serious, serious problem,” he said. “It really shakes you up when you see that.”

Natural Stone Bridge and Caves installs new wedding pavilion

By Ryan Edwards

ryan@suncommunitynews.com

POTTERSVILLE — Natural Stone Bridge and Caves held its first wedding in their newly installed wedding pavilion last weekend, and its owners say it certainly will not be the last.

Matthew and Tatiana Magee were the first to say their vows beneath the pavilion on Saturday, Aug. 8, marking the beginning of a new era for the business.

While the pavilion may be new, the Caves have seen a long history of nuptials over the years — a trend which began when current owner Greg Beckler’s parents were wed in the gardens in 1957.

But the idea of a wedding pavilion really took hold, Beckler said, after his daughter Jesika Hill was married on the property last September, right on the spot where the new 20-by-12-

foot white cedar pavilion now stands, overlooking Trout Brook and a nearby waterfall.

“It just went so well,” Beckler said.

“Everyone was telling us, ‘you should have way more weddings here.’”

After some consideration, Beckler agreed.

Not only does the property offer a unique and “awe-inspiring” Adirondack view, he concluded, but it also contains the necessary infrastructure for such events, from the parking to the bathrooms to lodging opportunities for the wedding party or their guests.

Along with the pavilion and its contents came a new sound-system, an aisle lined with flower-topped birch stumps, the return of the cedar arbor from last year’s ceremony and seating for up to 165 guests, which Beckler hopes to increase to 200 for next year.

Beckler is still working out the de-

tails for wedding packages — some of which including discounted tickets and lodging at any of the property’s three five-person cabins — but is ready and willing to work with anyone in a rush to get to the altar in the interim.

The Caves are often the site of engagements, he said, but soon couples will have the opportunity to become engaged, wed and honeymooned all in one spot: the largest natural marble cave entrance in the eastern United States.

Beckler’s vision for the future includes both ceremonies and receptions on-site, as well as a more permanent reception building to offer shelter for wedding guests incase of rain.

In the meantime, Beckler said the pavilion “looks beautiful,” and he is excited for to continue to expand the scope and volume of Natural Stone Bridge and Caves weddings.
