TICONDEROGA

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ T own officials are not completely all the way back to the drawing board when it comes to the municipal water project, but not having the engineer who has been overseeing the project is a rather large setback.

AES, who has been working with the town in their project to become compliant with the state Department of Health, opted out of the project after the state asked them to sign off on a report they felt was incomplete, according to Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell. ÒT he engineers were not comfortable with the criteria being put forth by the state for these reports,Ó Grinnell said during the Aug. 14 town board meeting. ÒT hey are not going to sign off on numbers they cannot validate. Because of this, the engineer has resigned from the project and it really puts the town in a difficult situation.Ó Grinnell said the dispute arose when the state asked for an engineering report that would include numbers on the Streetroad well. Grinnell said AES was not able to get accurate readings from the well because equipment used by the contractor, The Layne Christensen Co., had failed. ÒWh at it comes down to is they want the report to say the well is the most economic and viable source we have,Ó Grinnell said.

Connell honored with 2014 Essex County Fair dedication

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

WESTPORT Ñ Over the past 42 years, many faces have come and gone as members of the Essex County Fair Board of Directors.

One, however, has been there through it all, from the 124th annual edition to the 166th, held this year from Aug. 13-17.

For that service, Westport Supervisor Dan Connell was honored with the annual dedication of the fair, held during opening ceremonies Aug. 13. Ò I have enjoyed the group of people who have all

done the same kind of things that I have done,Ó Connell said. Ò Anyone who has received this award is because the fair is in their blood and they do what they do because they love it and I have been the same way. Its just an honor to be included with people who did the same things I did to help the fair grow.Ó Connell started his service with the Essex County Fair after coming to town to work for the Cornell Cooperative Extension office located on the grounds. Ò I grew up in Clinton County in 4-H and I grew up with that fair,Ó Connell said. Ò I just enjoy keeping my hand in it.Ó

Ticonderoga airport receives funding for fuel

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Rep. Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) announced on Aug. 15 a $130,500 grant administered by the Federal Aviation Administration to install a self-serve fueling station at the Ticonderoga Municipal Airport. Ò This upgrade adds to the long-term stainability of a critical transportation resource for the Ticonderoga community,Ó Owens said in a release. Ò Adding a self-service fueling station to this airport will support the continued growth of tourism and business travel to the region, as well provide a small source of revenue to pay for the basic needs of the town and its residents.Ó The airport is a public general aviation facility that has recently update other portions of their operation. Updates included adding a new hangar and an extension to their 4,041 asphalt runway.

Ernie Tobin, a member of the Ticonderoga Municipal Airport Committee, also stated in the release that this addition is something that the committee has been looking forward too.

“The first thing pilots look for when they land is a place to refuel,Ó Tobin said. Ò This will help generate activity up here, make a little extra money for the airport and be a great thing for the

town and for the aviation in the region.Ó Ticonderoga Supervisor William Grinnell agreed that the fueling station will offer up economic opportunity. Ò This is the next step in developing the airport into a service airport,Ó said Grinnell. Ò It is a good thing that this happened and it should help move the airport forward as a destination point.Ó Senators Charles Schumer (D-New York) and Kristen Gillibrand (D-New York), also released a joint statement about the project. Ò Investing in local infrastructure is one of the best ways to stimulate growth in our local economy,Ó said Gillibrand. Ò This investment in the Ticonderoga Municipal airport will allow it to become more self-sufficient.”

To date, the airport averages around 31 takeoffs and landing per day and totaling approximately 11,000 total per year. Ò This fuel facility will help further solidify the Ticonderoga Airport as an important driver of commerce, tourism and jobs throughout the region,Ó said Schumer. Ò This project is an investment in area residents, the airport, and the local economy as a whole.Ó A date to break ground on the project will officially be set soon.

Residents voice concerns about potential Ti police move

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A pair of local residents attended the Ticonderoga town board meeting Aug. 14 to say they did not want to see the police department moving to their neighborhood.

Bill Barnhart and Holly Dixon both spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting, stating that they were concerned about rumors that the Ticonderoga Police Department may move from their current home to the Armory. Ò I am well aware of the situation with the current police building and financial constraints that the town is facing,Ó Barnhart said. Ò I do have concerns with locating the police station in the Armory building.Ó Barnhart listed a number of concerns, starting with the increase in traffic that the move could cause. Ò With schools located at both ends of the street and busses in the morning and afternoon and other times, do we really want our officers heading out on a call from this location?Ó he asked. “They could literally find themselves blocked in on Amherst Ave. as a means of egress.Ó Traffic would also be a problem on weekends, as well, Barnhart said. Ò Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings are especially worrisome as there are services at St. Mary’s which would most definitely block or hinder egress.Ó Barnhart also expressed concerns over safety, increased noise and decreased property values,

stating that he felt a move to the Armory would, Ò just not be a good location.Ó Ò Do you really want the police department hidden away in a residential area?Ó Barnhart questioned. Ò I believe the police department

should be in a highly visible area. We want visitors to our town to have quick and easy access to the police. A residential area does not provide this.Ó Ò I think that I share all of the same concerns,Ó

Dixon said. Ò I am also concerned about the possible stress on the neighborhood and the safety of the children if the police were to move there.

The Armory is located in a very deeply residential area.Ó Barnhart said he hoped the town would continue to look at options, including combining with other town organizations, looking at vacant properties even if they have already been explored, seeking funding through grants or holding on what they currently have. Ò Although the current building is not ideal it is still better than moving into a residential area,Ó he said. Ò I have always been told that I should not voice concerns without offering solutions. I am sure you have looked at some, if not all of these, but I felt I would present them anyways.Ó Bill Grinnell said currently, no plans had been made on a move to the Armory. Ò There have been very preliminary discussions and at this point there are no plans to move there,Ó Grinnell said. Ò We need to have the building assessed by professionals and if we are going to do anything, we would have to have a public hearing to get input from everyone in town.Ó Councilman Wayne Taylor said he would make sure any move would benefit the department and the community. Ò When the time comes, I am not going to vote for any option that would hurt anybody,Ó Taylor said. Ò There is no provision for the move in this yearsÕ budget and it is very doubtful for next year.Ó

Ti water Continued from page 1 ÒW e canÕ t do this because the information is not there. AES could not submit a budget and design report without actual numbers. They have already filed a preliminary report and the next set of numbers they come out with would be the numbers they would be held to. They are being asked to put their name and their seal on a set of numbers that donÕ t know if they can prove.

They have years invested in this, but they feel if they go forward and do this and something changes, they are the ones that would have to answer for it.Ó Ò The issue is that the well broke,Ó town attorney Matthew Fuller said. Ò We presented that information to the DOH and told them we cannot give them the numbers they wanted, only estimates. We still have questions that need to be answered like what if this well impacted another well and made this a DEC issue.Ó Councilman Wayne Taylor said he was concerned because the state had already given the town extensions for the project. Ò They have given us a number of extensions already,Ó he said. Ò I think the state has been the good cop on this while the EPA has been the bad cop.Ó Ò I see it the other way around,Ó said Grinnell. Ò There is no one that cannot say Ticonderoga has not been diligently working and we feel that we have a very viable plan in place and the DOH is telling us they do not even want to see it.Ó Grinnell said the town has a plan in place to revamp the current water filtration plant to continue using water from Lake George as the townÕ s primary source.

“We would be using the same filtration and same source that the Village of Lake George

Bill Grinnell is using,Ó he said. Ò All of a sudden, the state has come out and said we cannot use any open source of water, but it is the same as a project they already have approved.Ó Grinnell said that since the Aug. 14 meeting, Fuller has been in contact with the health department seeking another extension while the town works with the well contractor to get back to work so they can get the numbers the DOH seeks. Ò We can only go as fast as the contractor will go,Ó Grinnell said.

Grinnell said the town has also met with state leaders about the situation. Ò There were some statements that our attorney, or engineer and our state officials questioned,Ó Grinnell said of the meeting that included state Sen. Betty Little and assemblyman Dan Stec.

The Jerry Lewis Telethon of the 21st Century

T

here is one thing we absolutely cannot understand: why has anyone had anything bad to say about the Ice Bucket Challenge?

The Internet sensation has swept the nation, drawing millions of followers and million of dollars to help support the fight against ALS. LetÕ s start with why this message is so important.

ALS, short for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and also known as Lou GehrigÕ s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy, difficulty speaking, swallowing and breathing.

It is the most common of the five motor neuron diseases. Despite this, many people learn about it for the first time when they are in the doctor’s office receiving the grim news. ALS has no cure, and a diagnosis is basically a death sentence.

Enter the Ice Bucket Challenge.

It started as a challenge for charity in general, but then started to grow in the ALS community headlined by the challenge from former Boston College baseball captain Pete Frates.

The challenge is simple: if you are nominated, you have 24 hours to either accept the challenge and pour a bucket of ice-cold water over your head or make a $100 donation to the ALS Association.

Many of the people who have accepted the challenge have opted to do both, giving a donation along with getting soaked for the cause.

The challenge has spread, going to the heights of power (Pres. Barrack Obama opted to donate $100 to the fight against ALS and not take the challenge), celebrity (Justin Beiber, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift and many others) to the small towns around the North Country.

Locally, members of the Essex County Courthouse took the challenge in honor of one of their own, Lawrence Bliss, who succumbed to the disease in 2011. It then extended to members of the Essex County SheriffÕ s Department and has also included town supervisors Tom Scozzafava and Bill Grinnell, among others.

Here at Denton Publications, editors John Gereau and Keith Lobdell have accepted the challenge, along with many members of their families.

ALS is a far too common word here. The ALS Raising Hope Foundation was started by Roger and Darlene Long in 2009 after Roger was diagnosed with the disease. They found there was an unusual Ò bubbleÓ of people diagnosed with the disease in the area and started the fight on the local level to help find treatments and a cure for the disease.

Roger himself has taken the challenge, although a modified version given his frail condition. Along with the posting of his acceptance of the challenge, his wife held a sign for him that simply stated, Ò I challenge you.Ó So what has this internet phenomenon done?

As of Tuesday morning, Aug. 19, donations to the ALS Association marked as resulting directly from the Ice Bucket Challenge had totaled $22.9 million.

The ALS Association has also only been tracking do-

August 23, 2014

nations coming from the challenge since July 28, so that means they have received an average of $996,000 per day since the challenge hit the mainstream.

LetÕ s compare that to Aug. 19 of last year, when donations to the association as a whole totalled $1.9 million over the same time period. Simple math - thatÕ s an increase of $21 million. Ò Our top priority right now is acknowledging all the gifts made by donors to the ALS Association,Ó said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of the ALS Association in a press release. Ò We want to be the best stewards of this incredible influx of support...

When people look back on this event in 10 and 20 years, the Ice Bucket Challenge will be seen as a real game-changer for ALS.Ó The association reported that along with regular contributors, the challenge has brought in 453,210 new donors. ThatÕ s almost 500,000 who know more about ALS and what it does to people, and took the time to give.

You know what the Ice Bucket Challenge is?

ItÕ s the Jerry Lewis Telethon of the 21st century. Comedian and former Rat Pack member Lewis hosted an annual telethon over Labor Day Weekend with the goal of raising funds for The National Muscular Dystrophy Association. The show would take the airwaves for an entire weekend, with celebrities giving their time to perform and answer phone calls while top executives from companies around the nation would come on stage and present Lewis with checks for staggering amounts to go toward helping Ò JerryÕ s Kids.Ó The show has since lost ground in the fast-paced world that revolves less around television and more around Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. So with a new generation of media, comes a new generation of media fundraising, with the Ice Bucket Challenge being the prime example of the right way to use the medium in order to gain attention to a cause.

Unfortunately, with the social media culture of today comes a horde of Debby Downers, raining on the parades of anything wholesome by trying to nit-pick at the smallest details to turn something as pure as the Ice Bucket Challenge into nothing more than a clever rouse. These people are wrong.

The Ice Bucket Challenge proves that, as a whole, we are not a society of cynics. We can rally together for a cause. We can support each other by taking a couple minutes out of our days to show support for people suffering from terrible breaks in life. We can give hope to people fighting the biggest fight of their lives.

So, when you get tagged on someoneÕ s Facebook video or Twitter feed, we encourage you to accept the challenge and give to the ALS Association. Then, invite your friends to do the same. Be part of something amazing and help change the game forever in the battle against ALS. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Awareness day planned To the Times of Ti: Sept. 9 is the 15th International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Day. FASD Awareness Day was created to alert people to the importance of abstinence from alcohol during pregnancy and the need to provide effective services for individuals and families impacted by these disorders.

Birth defects that come under the umbrella of FASD are 100% preventable. When a pregnant woman ingests alcohol so does her fetus. Alcohol is a poisonous drug and in any amount or any kind does irreparable damage to the fetus. This damage may range from a slight learning problem to severe retardation and physical deformities. It can also cause miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.

Yet, a recent study involving focus groups of childbearing age women published in the American Journal of Health Education showed that women acknowledged the risks and consequences of drinking alcohol during pregnancy, but many held common misconceptions. Some women thought it alright to continue consuming alcohol until the pregnancy was confirmed. Some thought it okay to drink certain kinds of alcohol and that drinking during the third trimester (last three months) was not harmful. Others thought that drinking small amounts of alcohol was acceptable and some said that their health care providers agreed that it was okay to drink small amounts.

Other study findings were: That a womanÕ s partner, family and friends influence her use of alcohol during pregnancy; That women rely on the Internet and health care providers for information about the risks of alcohol consumption; and That the information received is not always consistent or accurate.

Every child deserves a healthy start and that happens in its mother Õ s womb.

For accurate information about FASD, you may visit the CDC atcdc.gove/fasd or fasdcenter.samhsa.gov/ . For information about alcohol and pregnancy visitcdc.gov/ NCBDDD/fasd/alcohol-use.html ornofas. org/.

If you or a friend need help with drug or alcohol related issues call 1-877-846-7369 for available help in your area.

Dorean Page, Credentialed Prevention Professional

Reacts to editorial To the Times of Ti: Your recent editorial about the expense of quarantining two American victims of Ebola virus was thought provoking.

I share your frustration about funding priorities. Ebola has caused hundreds of deaths and we hope a cure and treatment are in the not-too-distant future.

But to put this in perspective, in the early 2000Õ s when multi-drug resistant TB was discovered, it cost NYC up to half million to quarantine each patient. TB is treatable with a pretty inexpensive regimen of drugs IF people get tested, treated and take their full course of treatment. Let us not forget that millions of people die from TB, AIDS and Malaria. And that millions of children die in Africa of vaccine treatable diseases.

Den Pub readers might be

interested to learn that thanks to the global vaccine alliance called GAVI, hundreds of millions of children were vaccinated and six million lives were saved since 2000. Because many more villages in Africa have access to health care and vaccines, many families no longer watch their children die of measles, diarrhea and pneumonia. An additional three million childrenÕ s lives will be saved if GAVIÕ s multi-national budget is funded for the next five years. New anti-rotoviral drugs (anti-pneumonia) are available but need refrigeration and staff and a way to get them into isolated towns and villages.

The 25 percent growth in African economy due to health improvements has yet to diminish the view expressed in your editorial of hopeless frustration.

Responds to letter To the News Enterprise: I was happy to see the letter about the new health center in Warrensburg penned by three prominent women from that town, one a former Hudson HeadwatersÕ board member, another the wife of a former board member. I couldnÕ t agree more that Hudson Headwaters has benefited from strong support from the Town of Warrensburg for decades. There are many, many people who deserve our thanks in Warrensburg and beyond.

We have also benefited from the support of communities that are home to our health centers, like Bolton Landing, Chester/Hori-

con, Indian Lake, North Creek/Minerva, and Schroon Lake. People from these communities come to Warrensburg for urgent care (walk in, without appointment) that is available seven days a week and six evenings.

As for the new health center that is now rising on Main Street in Warrensburg, we need to add even more to the honor roll for their generous involvement. We are grateful to the Schultz and Himoff families from Brant Lake, and the Wolgin family of Bolton Landing. We are grateful to the Charles R. Wood Foundation, StewartÕ s Shops and the Dake Family Foundation, Glens Falls National Bank, Adirondack Radiology Associates and Price Chopper. The list goes on.

Thanks to these generous people and organizations, Hudson Headwaters is well on its way to raising its goal of $2 million toward the new health center.

Once construction is completed, Hudson Headwaters will hold a public event to dedicate the new health center. I hope that there is room enough to accommodate all the people who deserve our thanks.

Liberty and chocolate to be featured at Fort Ticonderoga Research leads to discovery of chocolate at fort TICONDEROGA Ñ This summer Fort Ticonderoga is introducing a new and exciting foodway initiative entitled Chocolate: The Taste of Liberty.

This initiative is based on extensive research led by the Fort Ticonderoga museum curatorial and interpretive staff and highlights the very real, important, and often little understood role that chocolate played in 18thcentury military society. This fascinating (and tasty!) story is featured in daily programming and special student and teacher education.

In addition, a new recreated 1776 market on the very ground where the market historically stood offers guests the opportunity to purchase chocolate just as the soldiers did while fighting for liberty at Ticondero-

ga. Chocolate: The Taste of Liberty is funded in part by a Mars, Incorporated Chocolate History Grant for Research, Development and Investigative Studies. To learn more about this initiative and other programs offered daily visit FortTiconderoga. org. Ò The goal of this new initiative is to provide greater depth to Fort TiconderogaÕ s well-established foodways program,Ó said Beth Hill, President and CEO. Ò The living history program experience presented in 2014 focuses on life at Ticonderoga in the year 1776. Building upon research compiled

by Fort Ticonderoga museum staff and published in the Colonial Chocolate SocietyÕ s ground-breaking work, Chocolate History, Culture and Heritage (John Wiley & Sons, 2009), as well as research that has been conducted by Fort staff in more recent years, Fort Ticonderoga has launched this new initiative to provide its guests with an authentic chocolate experience and give meaningful context to the consumption of chocolate by American forces at Ticonderoga in the American Revolution.Ó Ò Fort TiconderogaÕ s approach to interpreting its

chocolate history is rooted in the realities of how chocolate was used at the site,Ó said Stuart Lilie, Director of Interpretation. Ò Evidence in the museumÕ s extensive archival collections shows that chocolate came to Ticonderoga in solid Ò cakeÓ form Ð just the way it left the mills in New England and New York where it was produced.

It was available to soldiers through a variety of different means. Sutlers (merchants to sell alcohol and related foods to soldiers) present at Ticonderoga list in their account books the regular sale of chocolate to soldiers in cake form for 3 shillings per

pound. Provision inventories at Ticonderoga in 1776 include among other things Ô 800 pounds of Chocolate.Õ Commissaries write of the importance of the chocolate in nourishing the sick in the hospitals and chocolate supplies are often specifically earmarked for use in the hospitals.Ó Each year Fort Ticonderoga highlights a specific moment in time Ð a specific year and regiment that served at Ticonderoga. In doing so, Fort Ticonderoga has become the only site in the world to take this unique and defining approach, which allows for staff to faithfully

research a topic, develop the associated reproduction material culture, and present a dynamic and innovative living history program each year to its guests. The annual seasonal narrative informs interpretive activities such as fatigue duty, gardening, foodways, and trades. The outcome of this revolutionary approach has resulted in significant growth in new marketing opportunities (each year is new at Fort Ticonderoga!), increased and repeat attendance, and a 54 percent growth in Friends membership to Fort Ticonderoga since 2011.

ESSLA lake stewards work the shores

SCHROON Ă‘ The ESSLA Lake Stewards are being kept very busy at the Horicon Boat Launch located at the southern end of Schroon Lake. ESSLA has had four stewards on duty seven days a week this summer. Thus far in the boating season, they have inspected approximately 1,500 watercraft for the presence of invasive species to assure that they are not transported into or out of the Schroon Lake and River.

They have found and removed Eurasian Milfoil and Water Chestnuts from a number of watercraft and thus avoided their spread.

The Stewards are also participating in a pilot program by the DEC. The program is intended to assure that any resident water in a boats bilge or live well is dry and if not is flushed by the Stewards. This helps to assure that organisms in resident water that may be an invasive species are flushed from those areas.

Delaying Social Security could increase lifetime income for Essex County residents

By Tim Marema and Roberto Gallardo The Daily Yonder

TICONDEROGA Ñ Essex County residents who are nearing retirement age can increase their lifetime income if they can wait a bit to start drawing Social Security benefits.

In Essex County 5,992 residents Ð or 15.4 percent of the population Ð are aged 55 to 64.

Those are the years when folks start thinking seriously about retirement.

Workers can start taking Social Security at age 62. But for those who can wait, the benefits go up. ÒI f you need Social Security early, take it Ð youÕ ve earned it,Ó said Virginia Reno with the National Academy of Social Insurance, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. ÒB ut waiting even a year or two can make a big difference in the long run. The extra benefits are there for life.”

Payments increase by 5 to 7 percent for each year of delay between ages 62 and 66, and by 8 percent for each year of delay between ages 66 and 70. The increases stop at age 70.

For someone who can wait until age 70 to take Social Security, the reward is a lifetime monthly benefit that is 76 percent higher than if taken at age 62.

For example, a worker who qualifies for a Social Security benefit of $750 at age 62 would receive $1,000 by waiting until full retirement age (66 for people born in 1943 to 1954). By waiting until age 70, the retiree would receive $1,320 a month.

The higher benefit would also be the basis for future inflation adjustments.

Around New York, only about one in three residents who are currently receiving Social Security retirement benefits waited until full retirement age to start their payments, according to the Social Security Administration.

In Essex County, 6,640 residents received retirement benefits from the federal system, according to 2012 figures.

The average recipient of Social Security retirement benefits in Essex County received $1,212 a month in December of that year. On an annual basis, that brought $96,564,000 in income to the area Ð 6.6 percent of all personal income in the county, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Getting the most out of Social Security benefits becomes more important the longer retirees live, said Leticia Miranda, a policy adviser with

the National Council of La Raza, a nonprofit that focuses on Hispanic issues, including retirement. ÒY ou may be here longer than you think,Ó M iranda said.

About half of seniors aged 65 to 69 get most of their income from Social Security. Many have other assets or work part time. But for three out of four seniors in their 80s, Social Security is the main source of income.

Nationally, a woman who is 65 years old today can expect to live until she is 86. For men, itÕ s 84 years.

Another consideration is how the timing of benefits will affect a spouseÕ s income, Reno said. ÒI f you are the higher earner in a couple, delaying benefits not only means a higher benefit for you for the rest of your life,Ó she said. ÒI t also means a higher benefit for your spouse if she or he outlives you in old age.Ó In more than half of couples who are 65 today, one spouse will live beyond 90, she said.

But residents of nonmetropolitan areas like Essex County may have a harder time delaying their retirement. ÒI n rural areas there is often a challenge as folks move toward retirement,Ó said Deanna Sharpe, a personal finance professor at the University of Missouri. ÒT hey are more likely to face unemployment. Jobs are

not as available. And when they are, they tend to pay less.Ó Economic downturns can also affect when people decide to start receiving Social Security, Sharpe said. ÒO ne of the coping mechanisms during the recent recession was to pick up Social Security at age 62, even if they might not have planned to do that before the recession,Ó she said.

Retirees need to make informed decisions, Sharpe said, but too often that doesnÕ t happen.

“We find in surveys of financial literacy that quite a large portion of folks donÕ t understand the basics,Ó she said. ÒT hatÕ s a concern.Ó But retirees can easily find free or low-cost advice. Sharpe said many USDA Extension Service offices can provide information on retirement planning. She also recommended nonprofit organizations such as the National Endowment for Financial Counseling and Financial Education (www.nefe. org).

The Social Security Administration website (ssa.gov) has a calculator that allows workers to estimate their retirement earnings based on their own work records and estimated retirement age.

And the National Academy of Social Insurance has materials online about the impact of delaying Social Security ben-

efits (www.nasi.org/WhenToTakeSocialSecurity).

With national discussions about Social Security frequently in the news, some workers may worry whether the system will be there when they need it.

Sharpe said people should stay abreast of the issues. ÒT hatÕ s part of making an informed decision,Ó s he said.

But Reno said that should not influence a personal decision about when to draw benefits. ÒS ocial Security will be there if you wait,Ó she said. The system is fully financed for about the next two decades and is three-quarters financed thereafter, she said. ÒD espite what you may hear, lawmakers have some good options to fix the system for the long haul,Ó s he said.

We are very happy to report that the final numbers are in and our net income was $90,500, which was a 24% increase from last year.”

“Money raised at the gala allows us to fund critical projects and programs that haven’t received funding elsewhere,” said Walt Lender, LGA’s Executive Director. “This is our major fund-raising event of the year, so a great deal rides on its success. If we don’t meet or exceed our projections, we can’t accomplish the important work we do for Lake George. “ To learn more about the Gala, or any of the LGA’s projects and programs, you can attend the Annual Member meeting coming up on Friday, Aug. 22 at the Lake George Club.

Berried Alive and Under the Shroom

B

y nature, humans are foragers.

However, over the course of thousands of years our species evolved from foraging as hunter gathers and advanced to the stage of farmers, and herders. Over the years, the majority of humans have largely forotten about the fruit of forest and the field.

There were many processes and hardships involved as our species made the transition from gatherers to hunters and finally to farmers and herders.

Possibly, the greatest tool used in the process was the domestication of the wild dog, which eventually provided humans with protection, companionship, increased hunting abilities and most importantly herding capabilities.

But despite all of the advancements we have made in cultivation and nearly complete mechanization of the agriculture industry, humans continue to seek out opportunities to forage. Quite simply, it is in our nature.

We will still travel to apple orchards or a strawberry farm to pick our own, if such opportunities are available. By and large, these are quaint, old fashioned activities that are now considered a part of Ô heritage tourismÕ , rather than subsistence efforts However, there is also much to be said for the charm, and pure enjoyment of spending a morning or a full afternoon just pickinÕ .

Although the seasonÕ s heavy rains are partly responsible for driving hordes of mice into our homes, the rains also have an positive upside. They served to keep our area rivers flush with cold, freshly oxygenated water, and they also kept the area well watered.

In turn, we have been on the receiving end of lush foliage and fantastic crops of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, some of which are the size of a Ô fat ladyÕ s thimbleÕ .

Berry picking is an activity that is likely as old as mankind, and yet while I am participating in it; I always feel like a kid again.

Sure, I usually eat more fresh berries than I take home in my container, but it’s difficult not to, especially when they’re still moistened by a glimmering morning dew. IÕ ve spent a great deal of time pickingÕ blueberries, raspberries and blackberries this year, and I know that thereÕ s plenty of the crop still left in the field.

Another positive consequence of this summerÕ s regular deluge has been the preponderance of mushrooms, which are seemingly popping up everywhere In fungi circles, this has been a year of vast flushes, as a patch of mushrooms is called.

While I am far from being a skilled mycologist or fungi expert; I have learned which species are edible and where they are often to be found.

There is an old saying among Ô shroomersÕ as these enthusiasts prefer to me known. It has to do with the dangers of knowing too little about mushrooms, and too much about foraging.

As foraging goes, berries, apples and nuts are relatively safe picking for amateurs. Not so for mushrooms. There are old Ô shroomers and bold Ô shroomers, but there are no old, bold Ô shroomersÕ .

If you have ever considered taking up the pursuit, there has rarely ever been such a wealth of local knowledge and opportunity.

In Saranac Lake, mushroom expert Susan Hopkins regularly offers mushroom walks and seminars, and not just for those with a culinary interest. Ms. Hopkins also harvests fungi to use as dyes with natural, organic colors for yarn.

While she regularly offers mushroom walks at the Paul Smiths VIC, and occasionally elsewhere, Hopkins is also available for private sessions on your own property.

Although the Saranac Lake and Lake Placid region does not have a preponderance of oak trees, which are common in the Champlain Valley, there are a few that were planted after the fires in Saranac Lake. Oaks are a prime location for a variety of delicious mushrooms including chanterelles and Hen of the Woods.

There are literally hundred of edible mushrooms available in the Adirondack region, which sadly go to waste because the local population doesnÕ t recognize the delacies that are literally under their feet.

Over the years, IÕ ve learned of a few choice locations for oyster mushrooms, which seem to like the beech forests, and I’ve also found some fine flushes of morels and chanterelles in the spring.

Adding such foraged delacies to a pan filled with a freshly caught brook trout, or a venison steak has an overwhelming appeal to anyone who has spent a long day in the woods or on the waters, and...it’s only natural!

For those who want to know more about Ô shrooming Ô in the Champlain Valley, the CATS organization will be offering a series of Mushroom Foraging Workshops at Black Kettle Farm in Essex.

CATS is the acronym for the Champlain Area Trail System,.

They are a not-for -profit organization that has been working on an effort to build trails that will help connect a variety of Champlain Valley communities.

The organization has quietly been offing a wide spectrum of fascinating outdoor education programming for a number of years now, which is one of the best kept secrets in the North Country Fortunately, it is time to let the CATS out of the bag. They will be hosting Mushroom Foraging Workshops in the Champlain Valley with Ari Rockland-Miller, co-founder of The Mushroom Forager.

The workshops are about two hours in duration and center on Ô shrooms that are common in the region.

Participants can choose to attend one or two of the workshops, for $35 each on Tuesday, Aug. 26 and Sunday, Sept.14.

The workshops will feature a brief introduction to foraging techniques, sustainable harvesting, and the Ò Mushroom ForagerÕ s Forage-CastÓ approach, followed by a foray while hiking the one-mile Black Kettle Nature Trail loop.

The workshops will begin promptly at 9:30 am at the Black Kettle Nature Trailhead on Cook Road in Essex. Please arrive 15 minutes early to sign-in.

Preregistration is required. Class size is limited to 20 participants, so please register early as the classes fill up fast at a cost of only $35 per person. For more information, please email info@champlainareatrails.com or call our office at 518962-2287.

Mycologist Susan Hopkins lives in the Saranac Lake area and is a member of several professional organizations including the North American Mycological Association and the Northeastern Mycological Federation.

She will again be offering regular mushroom walks at the Paul Smiths VIC on Sept. 11 and 14, as well as Oct. 5.

Susan has been the featured guest speaker at numerous seminars, lectures and workshops throughout the country.

rank Woolner wrote a book called Ò Grouse and Grouse HuntingÓ back in 1970. This classic has one sentence in the book beginning with the line, Flowers tell all.

Those three words tell it all to a seasoned grouse hunter, those words are the key to grouse habitat.

Flowers tell all!

Grouse habitat varies, but prime habitat is early successionBy Rich Redman al, fringe woodlot country where the sunlight hits the ground and life has a chance to live! Swamp edges, cutover woodlots, clear cuts, abandoned farmsteads, brushy fields and hedgerows are all home to sun loving plants. The majority of food, including fruit, grows in the sun, not the shade. Pioneer species need sun.

Pioneer species inhabit an area first, once the shade loving trees are removed and some soil disturbance allows seeds to get a grip in the soil. These include aspen, cherry, barberry, winter berries, wild grape, wild apple, crab apple trees, raspberries and hawthorns, all of which supply feed for wildlife, especially Ruffed Grouse, Bonassa umbellus.

Those flowering plants all grow food for wildlife, they are the habitat story! Where the flowers are growing in spring, is where the food will be in the late summer and fall. The flowers tell all!

Preservationists want the woods left alone, no tree cutting, and no management. They say it provides more diversity! Diversity means where things differ, or variety. Old timber stands do have some diversity, no doubt, and add to the richness of our area. There are shade loving plants that grow in dark woods. However, real diversity comes when there is a disturbance in the forest by fire, hurricanes, tornados and timber harvesting. These natural or man- made disturbances all create openings that allow sunlight to reach the earth.

Seeds germinate and early successional plants thrive. Flowers tell all!

Habitat diversity is a mix of young growing plants that are only a few feet in height and spaced tightly to old age trees that are shading the ground and widely spaced. We need all of this. Vegetation management is vital to have a real diversity of habitats and species.

Just the other day I was cutting wood in 85 degrees and 85 percent humidity, my clothes soaked in sweat, having fun, while I was making some habitat for deer, birds and other wildlife. Making habitat, plus getting saw-logs and firewood, that’s the second incentive to manage your woodlot, it pays you back in many ways.

Looking up at the canopy to see how I was doing managing my woody vegetation management, I noticed some sugar maples turning orange and yellow, fall is in the air and its mid -August. Welcome to the Adirondacks!

Soon, many of us will be walking the woods with a 20, 16 or 12 gauge pump, over and under or side by side shotgun in hand, keeping an eye and ear out for our flusher or pointer dog who will be working the woods, nose to the ground, or held up in the air, sniffing for the scent of a bird. Tails wagging and getting birdy! We will be on the lookout for that early successional habitat that holds birds and other wildlife.

To walk into a covert with dog and shotgun in hand, see birds flush and scatter, and maybe getting a shot is what ruffed grouse hunting is all about. ItÕ s not about killing, itÕ s about the moment and living.

When I see those trees turning color, itÕ s a reminder that hunting season is coming, and soon the lack of sunlight and cold will change our area to a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors. Red plaid briar torn wool coats, tan and orange hunting jackets and vests along with orange hats will be the colors worn. Safety is important when bird hunting, you donÕ t wear camo clothes as some IÕ ve seen do, that is asking for trouble. Bird hunters need to be seen by other hunters when a fast moving bird is in flight. Be safe, not stupid!

Grouse season is coming, and both my dogs and I can feel it in the air!

If you are a Grouse or Woodcock hunter, or a thoughtful naturalist landowner who wants to improve the habitat on your property, then there are two meetings held the same day.

The morning meeting is at Bruce BennettÕ s Grouse Camp in Ellenburg NY. This is a woods walk where vegetation management for woodcock and grouse habitat will be discussed.

Connell Continued from page 1 The 42 years of continuing service on the board was a record for longevity, according to LaPine.

LaPine said Connell has help fairs throughout the North Country, often traveling with the Essex County delegation to state-wide fair events as far away as Rochester. Ò This is a much deserved honor for him,Ó he concluded.

At the Board of SupervisorsÕ meeting in Elizabethtown on Monday, Aug. 18, Connell said despite the rain on the first day, the fair was a success. Ò We had more people this year,Ó he said.
