CROWN POINT Ñ Friday, Aug. 29 was not a good day for Norm St. Pierre. ThatÕ s when the owner of NormÕ s Bait & Tackle on Bridge Street learned the nearby Crown Point Campground was closing six weeks earlier than usual, on Labor Day. ÒI tÕ s like a slap in the face,Ó he said.

St. Pierre said business from the fall fishing and foliagepeepers who stay at the facility during those six weeks help get him and other merchants through the winter. ÒW e sell a lot of camp wood during that time, more than what we sell all summer,Ó he said.

The state agency that manages the facility, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), said they made the decision to close earlier based on low attendance numbers during the late season in previous years.

Others will follow.

Fish Creek in Franklin County will close Oct. 26 while Putnam Pond Campground in Ticonderoga will close on Sept.

12 to allow for a paving facelift.

DEC officials were unavailable to comment on exact attendance numbers by the time this story went to press on Labor Day, a federal holiday.

Two seek vacant school board seat in SLCS special election Former board member one of two Sept. 9 candidates

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

SCHROON Ñ Two people will seek to be the next member of the Schroon Lake Central School Board of Education when district voters go to the polls Tuesday.

The district will hold a special election Sept. 9, from noon until 8 p.m. in the Schroon Lake Cen-

tral School auditorium entrance.

The special election will fill the unexpired term of Dr. Peter Veverka, who resigned from the board effective July 1 of this year. The seat will be up for election again in May during the regular school budget and board elections, as the term for the seat expires June 30, 2015.

Filing petitions to run for the vacant seat were filed by Anne Durkee and Bruce Murdock.

Murdock, a former member of the school board, finished fourth in the May election with 186 votes, behind current board members Robert Claus (257) and Eric Welch (221), as well as candidate Terry

Superintendent James Polunci said the new member would be joining a board that has a good mix of experience and that works well together.

Current board members include Claus (president), Tina Armstrong (vice president), Welch and Dana Shaughnessy.

Absentee ballots can be picked up in the school office and must be returned to the district clerk by 5 p.m. on Sept. 9.

The Board of Education will meet immediately following the election to accept the results.

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (TMSP) and the TMSP Promotions Committee are pleased to announce that this yearÕ s theme for the 2014 Street Art Project is Ò Benches in Downtown.Ó This is the fourth Street Art Project organized by TMSP. Many hand-painted, hand-crafted benches in a variety of styles and sizes will be on display in front of or at Montcalm Street stores, restaurants, and organizations.

The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (TMSP) invites community members and visitors to stroll Montcalm Street to check out the uniquely decorated benches as well as stop by the dedicated businesses in Ticonderoga.

The initial street art project was wooden soldiers (Ò Soldiers on ParadeÓ ), followed by Adirondack chairs (Ò Relax in the AdirondacksÓ ), then bird houses (Ò For the BirdsÓ ).

This year, 12 benches have been sponsored by local businesses and organizations and are being decorated by local artists. Sponsors for this yearÕ s street art project include the Burleigh Luncheonette, LibbyÕ s Bakery CafŽ , Rathbun Jewelers, Glens Falls National Bank, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, Community Bank, Patrick Ida CPA, The Country Florist & Gifts, and Denton Publications/ Times of Ti. The goal of the street art project is to decorate our sidewalks and stores with hand-crafted, handpainted art work done by local artists as a way to create additional visual interest in the downtown area. Anyone can participate by sponsoring a bench, being an artist and being creative with your favorite theme, or by simply displaying one of the finished

benches in front of your establishment or in your storeÕ s window.

The decorated benches will be auctioned off on Friday, Sept. 26, at the Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn & Suites. There will be complimentary appetizers and a cash bar for all attendees of the auction.

Preview of the auction as well as the appetizers and cash bar will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the auction itself starting at 7 p.m. The proceeds of the auction will benefit TMSP and will be used for improvements in the downtown/Montcalm street business area.

The Auctioneer for this event will be professional Auctioneer Rick Harker from Mountain Time Furniture & Auction Ò The Peoples Place.Ó Mountain Time is located in Downtown Ticonderoga. Mountain Time holds monthly auctions as well as sells quality mattresses and furniture. Mountain Time is a place where the people decide what they can afford to pay; from full household estates to antiques. Community space is available when auctions are not in session. Ò We hope to see you there on Sept. 26 for the auction of these unique benches and what promises to be a fun-filled evening,” said shared John Bartlett, TMSP Promotions Committee Chairperson. Ò Join with your friends, family, and neighbors by embracing this opportunity to attend an exciting event and support improvements in Downtown Ticonderoga.

Your enthusiasm can be contagious.Ó For more information on the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership Street Art Project, please contact the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TMSP Coordinator) at 585-6619, chamberinfo@ticonderogany.com or stop by their office at 94 Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga.

Towns addressing opiate and prescription drug abuse Moriah and Ti face similar issues and look to community for solutions

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Two towns facing down varying issues on their own have a very common denominator, prescription drug and heroin abuse are on the rise and no one is quite sure what to do about it.

Ticonderoga formed a community drug coalition in 2012 and has held regular meeting regarding the issues seen by community members and law enforcement. On Aug. 12 the coalition met at North County Community College with an audience of 20 to discuss the recent up-swing in drug related arrests and issues. A panel of guest speakers addressed different aspects of the issue with varying professional opinions.

Gary Anderson, community pharmacist for more than 30 years explained that he spends a majority of his days dealing with patients attempting to refill pain medications or narcotics early. Anderson explained that he must then call doctors offices and delineate those who really need help from those who are facing down an addiction. Ò It is an on going problem,Ó said Anderson. Ò We hope we can get a handle on it.Ó

During the community forum several topics were tabled in discussions around prevention and deterrence. Forum moderator Pastor Charlie Bolstridge explains. Ò We talked about a needle exchange and a lot about the I-Stop (pharmacy) program,Ó said Bolstridge. Ò We also had a recovering addict there who explained views from that perspective and that was very helpful.Ó Bolstridge stated he felt the forum was a success with a lot of good information by those in the crowd and those on the panel.

While awareness of the issues it on the rise, two weeks after the forum commenced hypodermic needles were found in several places throughout the community, the town library as well as the community park and playground.

Not alone

While the community of Ticonderoga feels the burden of increased heroin and prescription drug use, they are certainly not alone.

Neighboring Moriah is looking to strike out their own problems in a similar fashion. Ò We are planning a community meeting on heroin and the prescription drug problem,Ó said Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. Ò The problem is absolutely here and the solution has to come from the community.Ó The town of Moriah which traditionally hosts a community clean up day was unable to do so this year explained Scozzafava for the risk of needle exposure was too high.

Scozzafava explained that he would like to

BURIAL NOTICE A Graveside Service for Rose Marie Blood, 95, of Putnam Station, who passed away on March 4, 2014 will take place on Monday, September 8, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. at the family plot of St. Mary's Parish Cemetery of Ticonderoga.

see some landlord accountability as a possible solution. Particularly those who are receiving government assistance or section 8 housing. Ò I would like to see apartment inspections,Ó said Scozzafava. Ò With every job there is a degree of responsibility I just received a random drug screening last week. Every town employee is subject to that. I guess I just have a hard time understanding how asking those who receive public assistance to do the same is different. They have a responsibility to taxpayers just like employees do to their job.Ó Scozzafava went on to explain that this was not a means to punish but a way to help people.

“We need to find a way to help people who are addicted,Ó said Scozzafava. Ò Throwing them in jail is just not the answer. I am not sure what the answer is, but hopefully the community will have input.Ó Moriah Police, Officer In Charge Steve Stahl expressed his concern for the community in a previous interview with the Times of Ti. Ò Just like any other small town we have our share of drugs and thatÕ s an issue,Ó said Stahl. Ò We donÕ t just make arrests its about helping people and doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our residents.Ó

State Police input

State police Sergeant Chad Nile weighed in on the issues seen throughout the region. Ò There is a huge problem pretty much everywhere throughout Troop B,Ó said Nile. Ò What we have seen is that those who have at one time

abused prescription drugs are now migrating toward heroin.Ó

Help available

Ò There is a teeter totter effect to heroin and prescription drug use,Ó Bolstride said. Ò Short of treatment an addict is going to revert to what is readily available. I encourage those that there is help out there I am available come in, for open counseling at no charge, explore the option, anonymously.Ó In addition to faith based programs other options for treatment may be explored by contacting the Substance Abuse Prevention Team at 585-7424 or St. JosephÕ s Addiction Treatment and Recovery Center 585-7934.

Substance arrest made TICONDEROGA Ñ Nathan M. Peters, 28, of Ticonderoga was arrested for criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree a class B felony.

The charges are in relation to an ongoing investigation by the Ticonderoga Police Dept., said police.

Peters was arraigned on additional charges in front of town Justice Keith Dolbeck in Ticonderoga Town Court. Peters was remanded to Essex County Jail.

The investigation was handled by Patrolman Mark Belden and Partolman Adam Hurlburt.

Past president to give generously to LGA TICONDEROGA Ñ At the Lake George AssociationÕ s 129th Annual Meeting, J. Buckley Bryan, Jr., long-time Lake George Association member and twice past president has announced his plan to donate $1 million over the next few years, but he doesnÕ t want to be the only one giving. Ò The Lake George Association has been around for almost 130 years, and I’m of firm belief that itÕ s the reason this lake is as clean as it is,Ó Bryan said. Ò But it needs to be around for 130 more years and then some to continue to protect this place. My donation will help ensure the long-term protection of Lake George through the long-term sustainability of the LGA. IÕ m hoping that others will follow my lead and send some money our way for the LGAÕ s Second Century Reserve.Ó Ò Mr. BryanÕ s donation will be placed in the LGAÕ s Second Century Reserve, an account set up by the Board to support the organization in the future,Ó LGA Executive Director Walt Lender said. Ò The revenue generated by the Reserve will provide funding for programs and projects that protect the Lake in the future. Lake George continues to face threats and challenges. It will into the future as well. We need to be ready to face them and protect the lake for future generations. Ò No one knows for sure what the future holds for Lake George, but we need to be prepared to handle anything. We need to be here and be ready,Ó Lender added. Ò The only way we can

do that is if we have solid funding, skilled and experienced staff, and steadfast supporters like Buck.Ó Ò The LGAÕ s Board appreciates BuckÕ s plans to add to our Second Century Reserve,Ó LGA Board President Victor Hershaft of Bolton, said. Ò He has been a generous and passionate supporter and a great friend.Ó Bryan is a long-time Bolton resident on Northwest Bay and served as Lake George Association President from 1975 to 1979 and again from 2008 through 2010.

Other announcements made at the LGAÕ s Annual Meeting include a funding commitment to extend milfoil hand harvesting efforts for at least two additional weeks on Lake George.

Volunteers and staff members who have helped develop and expand the Floating Classroom were also recognized for their role in the program receiving the US EPA Environmental Excellence Award.

completion and autumn weather began early that September, these soldiers turned their attention to building more hospitable living quarters than their canvas tents.

While many Army encampments, such as that built across Lake Champlain on Mount Independence, were built in woods, the Ticonderoga peninsula had been laid bare during the French and Indian War. Without a ready supply of logs, soldiers used sawn lumber milled at the saw mill operated by the army on the La Chute River, now located in present day Ticonderoga.

The annual Bucket’s Bog was held recently in Putnam, raising funds for the Putnam Volunteer Fire Department and Ticonderoga Food Pantry.

Stefanik needs to come clean

L

ast week, Elise Stefanik, the Republican candidate for New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District, turned her back on reporters in Glens Falls when pressed on Social Security at a press conference she called to talk about that exact issue.

It was a stunning look at how the candidate sees the press, as tools to be used and discarded when they challenge the narrative and optics of her campaign.

This race is bordering on the farcical.

Crisis. The North Country is on the frontlines of a major demographic transformation. Our remote district could be a test laboratory for policies designed to keep an ailing region sustainable when it comes to Medicare and Social Security, both are which are predicted to be depleted by 2030 and 2033, respectively.

But instead of engaging in straight talk, Stefanik issues platitudes, hollow sound bites like Ò discussions for future generations,” “protect and preserve” and “fight for our seniors.Ó What she said. Following the gaffe, Stefanik attempted to mitigate the damage when she finally defined “in or near retirementÓ to the Watertown Daily Times as 50 and older (which is actually five years younger than what’s stated in the 2012 Republican Platform) and said she would be open to raising the retirement age for those over that threshold.

She also floated means-testing for low-income benefits recipients, adjusting cost of living expenses and using a chain-weighted consumer price index, which is a way to index Social Security benefits to the rate of inflation.

These viewpoints are firmly aligned with the 2012 Republican Platform, a document Stefanik has distanced herself from despite holding the title Policy Advisor during its creation.

What this means. At the center of that blueprint is the voucher system, the keystone to the privatization argument.

Younger workers would be given the option of Ò personal investment accountsÓ as supplements to the system and a Ò premium-support modelÓ for Medicare with an income-adjusted contribution toward a health plan of their choice.

This means the government would choose a fixed amount, as determined by the means test, that would be given to recipients to go buy insurance on the open market. If enrollees choose an expensive private plan, they have to pay the additional costs themselves. If they choose a cheaper plan, they can pocket the savings.

But analysts doubt enrollees will be able to afford coverage as good as what Medicare currently provides, especially as healthcare costs continue to rise.

Since most voucher plans are tied to an index that grows slower than the cost of care, itÕ s expected coverage will decrease.

In other words, enrollees will be paying more for less.

Ongoing dance. In a primary debate, Stefanik said she would not have voted for the Ryan Budget. But the Ryan Budget, a non-binding blueprint that sets the tone for the Republican PartyÕ s basic trajectory, is not the same as

the CongressmanÕ s plan to transform Medicare.

His budget, like any other, includes numerous provisions that candidates could opt to vote for or against.

Stefanik told he Post-Star last month she would have to take another look before making a decision.

But if the Ryan Budget and the Medicare plan were the same, she could have just said she wouldnÕ t have voted for the Ryan Budget Ñ not that sheÕ d have to take another look.

The candidate clearly knows the difference between the two because she served as RyanÕ s debate coach in his bid for the vice presidency, directing him how to defend these proposals.

The Stefanik campaign is also continuing to propagate the myth that the Affordable Care Act has raided over $700 billion from Medicare, a myth that Congressman Bill Owens directly took Stefanik to task for in an appearance in Willsboro last month.

What this provision actually means is that the annual increases insurance companies receive will be trimmed; hospital reimbursement rates reduced and payments to home health care workers slashed.

The Congressional Budget Office determined the cuts will make Medicare more efficient and extend the life of the program. Ò Do nothing.Ó Stefanik has blasted her Democratic opponent, Aaron Woolf, for taking a Ò do-nothing approachÓ that would bankrupt the programs.

Woolf has said he would make no changes to Social Security and Medicare and has proposed several ideas to keep the programs sustainable, including increasing the minimum wage and closing tax loopholes for millionaires.

These economy-growing measures, he said, would create jobs and increase domestic spending. Wage growth, in particular, say analysts, would cut future Social Security deficits and help shore up the program’s future.

Agree or disagree with WoolfÕ s proposals Ñ economists have said these measures alone are not enough to save the two programs (and we think he delayed their rollout in his campaign based on political expediency) Ñ voters know exactly where he stands.

The same goes for Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, who has always maintained that he supports single-payer health care, ending corporate welfare and raising taxes on those who make more than $250,000 per year.

Coming clean. We hope Stefanik will clarify her position in the three debates with her opponents scheduled for October.

This is not a partisan issue. ItÕ s not about if we agree or disagree with the Republican Platform. ItÕ s about transparency. ItÕ s about doing right by the lifelong people of the district and having the integrity to take a stand and defend your position. ItÕ s about being held accountable, regardless of the consequences.

ItÕ s time to come clean. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Reinventing the olde towne crier

T

he US Economy and workplace were changed forever, as a result of the Great Recession, according to a recent poll taken by the John H. Center of Workforce Development at Rutgers.

Change and the pace of change are facts of life that must always be factored in to every institution. No one or anything is immune to change. The key is recognizing and accepting the simple fact that we must all adapt to change and that you do not allow yourself or your institution to remain stagnant or allow negaDan Alexander tivity to pull you down.

Thoughts from In this recent survey only 16 percent thought employment and opportunities will be better for the Behind the Pressline next generation. That compared with 56 percent who thought so in a July 1999 survey. One-third of the respondents said their standards of living were unscathed by the recent recession.

Another one-third said they had been temporarily Ò troubledÓ or Ò set backÓ by the economic downturn. The rest characterized their situations as permanently Ò devastatedÓ or Ò downsized.Ó When asked to check words and phrases that described the Ò typical American worker,Ó a whopping 70 percent checked Ò not secure in their jobs,Ó and 68 percent checked Ò highly stressed.Ó The phrases checked next most often were Ò takes pride in workÓ by 45 percent and Ò productiveÓ by 43 percent. People tend to be easily swayed by popular opinion and thatÕ s not always the best especially when the focus is trending negative.

ItÕ s far to easy when the going is tough to allow negativity to alter your attitude.

As an example, from a community newspaper workforce perspective, our institution has been undergoing great change from the discussions that newspapers are a dying institution. Let me assure you newspapers are no more dying than the trees which will shortly start losing their leaves, immediately after their bright colors light up the region.

One thing that may give way is the name weÕ ve applied to the method of collecting and distributing valuable information. Just like the olde towne crier from years gone by, putting the news on a sheet of paper is nothing more than a period in time, universal method of mass distribution. The printing press revolutionized the world when GutenbergÕ s invention was realized in 1445. It forever changed the lives of people around the globe when people no longer had to hand copy words and illustrations onto parchment. So valuable was his invention that the term Ò pressÓ has been used for centuries to represent the gathering and distribution of news.

LetÕ s face we take great comfortable with long standing methods that have proven themselves over time. Perhaps that is why unlike many other institutions that are undergoing change everyday few have stood the test of time like the printing press.

Many are quick to proclaim the internet as the new replacement for the printing press and it certainly has made an impact in the world, but like so many creations that have come along through the centuries it has yet to stand the test of time, nor as it proven itself to be a bullet proof method.

Consider this, a town where nearly everyone wanted to be the olde towne crier.

It becomes nearly impossible to determine whose variation of the news and true facts one can depend on. The result is an imperfect system that loses creditability and its value becomes suspect. Add to that the purposeful distortion of information and you leave the masses with uncertainty. With uncertainty comes a lack of attention and that is where we find ourselves today with so much information, much of it conflicting.

More and more many people find the news distorted and an unreliable method of basing their opinions upon, so it gets ignored until something more reliable comes CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Author event enjoyed To the Times of Ti: On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Dr. Curt Stager delivered an astounding lecture and presentation on his book, Deep Future, at Literacy VolunteersÕ Annual August Author Address at Camp Dudley in Westport. Stager welcomed the audience into the age of Anthropocene, the era of humans, and described the magnitude of power we humans have on climate change today and in the long-term future. Stager explained that due to our current

George Moore’s attorney responds To the Editor: In town supervisor Ronald MooreÕ s article in the Valley News on July 26, 2014, his concluding sentence is Ò I think the question boils down to, does the Town of North Hudson want to control its own destiny, or does it want George Moore to?Ó This question along with the negative statements against George Moore in particular and the private sector in general along with his statement that George Moore failed to compromise for the good of the community sounds more like the Town Supervisor is using an Essex County taxpayer, and a good tax payer at that, ( and also the private sector) as a scapegoat and justification for Supervisor Moore and/or the CountyÕ s own actions and failures.

The biggest failure of Town Supervisor and County Legislator , Ronald Moore, is the fact that the County waited until 2014 to have a tax sale auction on properties that had unpaid taxes since 2005. This was a nine -year wait when they only had to wait a maximum of 3 years. What did Ronald Moore and the public sector accomplish during this delay? They failed to collect any taxes on the lands . George Moore was at least paying his taxes and financially assisting the Town of North Hudson, County of Essex, and the School District. I believe we were informed that the amount of delinquent taxes owed on the Frontier Town parcels was around $140,000 in 2014, or roughly $15,500 a year. If the county had sold this property 3 years after the tax delinquency, instead of 9 years, I would bet that the amount of taxes owed would be less than the bid price, plus the properties would have been placed back on the tax roll, and, assuming the same assessment of over $500,000 , the Town and County would have received another $100,000 in taxes for the last 6 years. This late County tax sale was not the fault of George Moore, who by the way paid Town and County taxes on his adjoining parcel of over $63,000and school taxes of over $36,000 from October 2004, when he purchased the parcel, through 2014.

The second major failure is the controversial manner in which the county rejected the highest bidder at the public auction ($49,500 bid price but $57,000 after including all expenses and auction fees) only for the County to immediately sell it to the County legislatorÕ s own Town (after supervisor Moore apparently sent an email to the County offering $49,550 the weekend before the County was to make a decision on approving the

tax auction bids, and shortly thereafter increased the offer to $60,000). The County Legislators in a close vote approved the sale to their fellow legislator after George Moore, who refused to be outbid increased his offer to $65,000. Who knows what the County would have received for this property had Supervisor Moore been required to bid at the Auction instead of being given the special privilege of bidding after the Auction. It was very satisfying to see many of the County legislators (but unfortunately not the majority) realizing, after they had more facts than was first presented to them by Supervisor Ronald Moore, that this idea of allowing anyone, and especially a fellow legislator, to outbid an individual bidder outside the auction and therefore control who gets ownership of the property, was not Ò right Ò even if the county had the power to do this. It gave the public the appearance of Political Favortism at the expense of the electors. Many people thought that the legislatorsÕ should be bound by the same rules as the people who elect them. Some people, especially in the Town of North Hudson, did not want to see their taxes increased due to removal of Frontier Town lands (and its $500,000 assessment) from both the Town and County tax rolls or to pay for repairs to remedy environmental issues of removing asbestos from the deteriorated buildings on the premises, not to mention the Town and County litigation expenses involved in testing a relatively new law to determine whether the County and Town had the legal right to do what they did to George Moore.

Supervisor Ronald MooreÕ s implication that George Moore would not compromise is very misleading to the public as was the private letters Ronald Moore wrote to the taxpayers in the Town of North Hudson, in criticism of George MooreÕ s failure to renovate the A-Frame. In both situations, Ronald Moore left out some very important facts. According to the minutes of the March 2014 County committee meeting, Supervisor Ronald Moore knew that Mr. George MooreÕ s A-frame had title issues (the A-frame building was not entirely on the deed the County gave George in 2004) and questioned whether the Town of North Hudson should acquire this property before the public auction as someone might use that knowledge for Ò leverage.Ó As for the compromise, George Moore offered to pay the $65,000 and in addition give the Town of North Hudson and/or the County of Essex a permanent easement for the snowmobile trails, an offer that will still stand because it is good for his adjoining property and at the same time good for the Town of North Hudson and Essex County. By the way, the snowmobile trail can be located on

the Internet and already goes through the Frontier Town lands.

In fact, the County could have sold the property at public auction with the restriction that there would have to be a continued use of the snowmobile trail which the County failed to do before the auction. After this offer was made, the County made a Counter Offer which basically required Mr. George Moore to pay the $65,000 for approximately one-third of the land and was required to repair and/or remove the deteriorated buildings on the property, some of which contained asbestos and would have required environmental review and perhaps significant expenses to remedy the environmental issues. This was not a serious offer to settle the dispute and George Moore should not be blamed for rejecting such an offer. George Moore is the founder of Moore Family Real Estate LLC, the owner of the A-frame building and over 80 other rental units all maintained to meet or exceed HUD standards. He has been buying, selling, leasing, developing, and maintaining properties for over 50 years. He has been the owner and operator of several businesses. He has been a member of the Clinton County Area Development Agency. He totally financed and help develop a new and badly needed medical clinic in Nicaragua through the Mission of Hope. He has an honorary degree in business from Clinton Community College and is a major financial supporter of the Community College. He does not want the Frontier Town properties renamed Ò MoorevilleÓ , whether after him or Ronald Moore.

The New York State Constitution requires that municipalities purchase property for only a public purpose (and not for speculation-resale for profit). There is also special law which allows a town to purchase property for park and recreational purposes with resulting removal from the tax rolls. However, voter approval is required if enough voters petition the town board for a referendum. The voters in the Town of North Hudson will be controlling their own destiny, not Ronald Moore nor George Moore. The voters should thank the newspapers as well as the persons petitioning for the referendum for having the opportunity for being involved in this very valuable system of checks and balances. Your vote will not only affect the Town of North Hudson but may also influence the way the County does business in the future with every other Town in the County, and if the vote is against the town purchasing the property, it might very well end George MooreÕ s litigation against the County of Essex and Town of North Hudson .

Battle of Champlain event in Local authors look to detail Crown Point to be televised the history of Frontier Town

CROWN POINT Ñ On the exact 200th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 1814 Battle of Plattsburgh, Art Cohn from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will present Ò The 1814 Battle for Lake Champlain and the Shipwreck Legacy,Ó an illustrated lecture in the museum auditorium at Crown Point State Historic Site at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11.

The topic is so important and timely that C-SPAN has arranged for a video crew to record the 60-slide PowerPoint presentation.

Before the battle, U.S. Navy Captain Thomas MacDonough led the construction of the corvette Saratoga and a sloop Eagle and several gunboats at the shipyard in Otter Creek at Vergennes, Vt. Upon wresting control of Lake Champlain from the British, MacdonoughÕ s Sept. 11 victory forced the British forces to retire to Canada, which left no grounds for any claims by the British peace negotiators for territorial gains.

The American victory at the Battle of Lake Champlain ended the final invasion of the northern states of the United States during the War of 1812.

Cohn was the co-founder and is now Senior Advisor/Special Projects Developer at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. He is a professional diver and has coordinated and participated in Lake ChamplainÕ s archaeological projects for many years. He has a B.A. in sociology from the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a J.D. from Boston College Law School.

Cohn is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology at both the University of Vermont and Texas A&M University. He holds honorary degrees from Middlebury College and the University of Vermont and is a knowledgeable and talented public speaker.

Since its inception in 1985, Cohn has been the chief advocate for the Lake Champlain Underwater Historic Preserve. He has formally coordinated that program since 2000 for the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation. The author of Ò Lake Champlain Sailing Canal Boats: An Illustrated Journey from Lake Champlain to the Hudson River,Ó he also directed the Lois McClure Project, creating a full-sized replica of an 1862-class Lake Champlain canal schooner to travel the regionÕ s interconnected northern waterways as an ambassador to its history and shipwrecks.

En route to Plattsburgh, the 88-foot replica canal schooner Lois McClure will be open to the public for free tours on Thursday, Sept.

11, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the dock located below the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse on the grounds of the Crown Point Reservation Campground.

The historic site is located at the southwest (New York) end of the Lake Champlain Bridge. Admission to the evening program is free, but strictly limited to the first 65 guests.

The doors will open at 6:45 p.m. and close promptly at 7 p.m., so that the presentation will not be interrupted.

CROWN POINT Ñ In the spring of this year, two North Country woman, Jennifer St. Pierre of Crown Point and Tammy Whitty-Brown of Plattsburgh, came together to collaborate on a new book that will forever document the photos and oral stories of the North Countries beloved theme park, Frontier Town.

The book will be a coffee table style book that will include hundreds of photos from the opening of Frontier Town until now, in its present state. Mixed with photos of the employees, visitors, buildings and livestock will be memories shared by employees and visitors.

The authors are seeking photos and positive/funny stories of Frontier Town from former employees, family members of employees and former visitors of Frontier Town. Photos and stories that are submitted will be added to their new book titled, Ò Frontier Town: Abandoned Theme Park Then and Now,Ó which is slated to be published at the end of October for sale in time for the holiday shopping

season.

Those who would like to share a story of Frontier Town can complete a survey online at surveymonkey.com/s/ NXZKSX6, which will allow people to share their favorite memories. People can contact Whitty-Brown by emailing her at adirondacklady66@yahoo. com.

Those who would like to just contribute photos can send original copies to St. Pierre at 12 Lake Road, Crown Point, N.Y., 12928. Photos will be returned as quickly as possible.

Those who would rather scan your own photos need to make the file to be at larger than 600PPI, save them to CD/DVD in file format JPEG. The larger the file, the bet-

ter the clarity. Send disks to the above address or post the images directly to the Frontier Town Abandoned Theme Park Then And Now Facebook page at the largest file size that is allowed. Watermarks are welcome.

The authors will also be collecting photos and stories at the Frontier Town Reunion being held on Sept. 13 from noon to 4 p.m. at GokeyÕ s Trading Post in North Hudson.

To date there have been an amazing number of photos contributed to the project and the authors are thankful to all that have contributed.

Annual One-Eye Classic offers a day of cycling in Schroon area Event offers variety of rides, potluck picnic lunch

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ For the third year, people from around the region will come to Schroon to take a bicycle ride - short or long.

The third annual Lance Gregson 1-Eye Classic will take place Sunday, Sept. 14, with all rides starting and ending at the Schroon Lake Town Beach on Leland Ave. Ò Rides will run from three miles to 60 miles,Ó said Anne Gregson.

According to organizers, the 1-Eye Classic is a fun bike riding and picnic event honoring Schroon Laker Lance Gregson, a muchloved stonemason and construction artisan who was also a huge cycling enthusiast who made time for cycling each day as he explored. Gregson knew many fantastic rides in the Adirondacks and encouraged others to learn about riding and to explore with him.

Rides will begin at 8 a.m. with Ò LanceÕ s Challenge,Ó a 60-mile pedal, followed by the

approximately 40-mile Ò CyclistÕ s DreamÓ ride at 8:30 a.m. The 26-mile Ò LanceÕ s LoopÓ begins at 9:45 a.m., followed by the 12-mile Ò Scenic RouteÓ ride at 10:30 a.m. and the Ò Easy Does ItÓ three-mile excursion at 11 a.m.

At about 11:30 a.m., the potluck picnic or pay to eat event will take place and will include live music by Juxtapoze and raffles.

Organizers said the potluck is in keeping with their intent to make Schroon Lake a community of cyclists, encouraging riders to bring a potluck to share with others that will add to hamburgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs and drinks that will be available for all.

Everyone is invited to participate. Ò This year we will feature food from some of the local restaurants,Ó Gregson said.

Items for the raffle have been donated by RickÕ s Bike Shop in Glen Falls and Leepoff Cycles in Keene Valley.

Events will conclude around 2 p.m.

For more information on the Lance Gregson 1-Eye Classic, visit the website schroonlakecycling.com or call Gregson at 532-9479.

Interim James Polunci leads Schroon Lake into new school year

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ The day after James Polunci retired from his superintendentÕ s post at Edmeston Central School, he was offered his first interim position.

He has since served as the interim chief administrator at 10 other school districts before accepting the same post at Schroon Lake Central School, a position he will hold through the 2014-15 academic year. Ò I want to talk to the faculty and staff about how things were when I first started in education and some of the challenges we are facing now,Ó Polunci said about how he planned to introduce himself to the teachers and staff at the school prior to the Sept. 4 first day. “I also want to tell them about the beauty that I see in working in a small school. A lot of positive things can happen in a small school.Ó Polunci replaces Bonnie Finnerty, who resigned near the end of the 2013-14 school year for personal reasons. Ò Bonnie did a great job and I want to continue that and offer a few suggestions based on my experience,Ó Polunci said. Ò This school has an excellent staff and I look forward to working with all of them to make sure the school is a safe place for kids and a place they want to come to.Ó

While only serving at the school for the coming academic year, Polunci said he treats each interim position as a long-term commitment. Ò I take my interim assignments very seriously, like I am going to be here permanently,” he said. “I make sure all of the files are set up and I keep a diary for the new person coming in.Ó Polunci prides himself in being able to help schools when it comes to test scores, saying that he has always seen an increase in scores at the schools he has worked in. He hopes to continue that in Schroon Lake.

However, Polunci does have some critiques when it comes to the Common Core standards and how it has been implemented so far. Ò It is something that should have been phased in from the younger grades,Ó he said. Ò Its a mindset and a way of thinking that has to be developed at a young age. Teachers are working harder than ever to get the job done.Ó Polunci said he has been working with the school board as they seek to determine where to go with their next superintendent and how the administration will be organized.

SCHROON Ñ T here will soon be more room at the Schroon town offices.

Members of the Schroon town board recently voted to approve an expansion project at the town hall, adding 5,000 square feet. ÒT he addition will be for a new courtroom and library expansion,Ó Supervisor Michael Marnell said. ÒW e have discussed this for years and the board unanimously approved the project at the August board meeting.Ó Marnell said the town was hoping to get the foundation for the expansion, which will extend the building off the east end, before the end of the construction season so they do not have to wait for a thaw in the

spring.

The new courtroom will be located on the bottom floor of the building. The current courtroom, located in the northwest corner of the ground floor, will be used as a multi-purpose room for events and activities.

The top floor expansion, and equal 2,500 square feet to the lower floor expansion, will be used for additional space for the town library. Currently, the library uses space at the town hall and neighboring Hudson Headwaters building for storage. ÒT his will give the town more space for events and to help expand the library,Ó Marnell said. ÒW e will have more room with the existing courtroom for meeting space and functions while we will also be able to use the courtroom for added space when court is not in session.Ó

Yellow Light Demands for rail safety coalesce at Whallonsburg Grange forum

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com WHALLONSBURG Ñ The people-powered movement to address the increase in oil tankers gliding through the Champlain Valley region gained momentum on Tuesday, Aug. 19 when 90 stakeholders assembled at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall to discuss an issue that has now become unavoidable.

Tankers of crude from North Dakota are moving through the region at an accelerated clip, up from virtually nothing four years ago. They’re heading to a refinery at the Port of Albany, where the volatile oil is processed and shipped down the Hudson River.

Some of the cars are DOT-111 tankers, a rupture-prone older model that the Canadian government recently ordered to be phased out within the next two years.

The federal government is currently weighing their options for a similar measure. Their decision is expected to be handed down shortly.

Essex County residents, public officials and emergency responders have been increasingly assertive in staying abreast of the situation, an issue that has been brought into sharper focus after an unattended chain of tankers rolled seven miles down a hill in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, last summer before exploding and killing 47 people.

Municipal governments across the North Country are examining local emergency response capacity in the event of mishaps; theyÕ re requesting cargo manifests, reviewing evacuation protocols and fine-tuning their relationship with Canadian Pacific (CP), the rail company tasked with shipping the volatile cargo through some of the most challenging terrain in the country.

And theyÕ re holding public forums.

GRASSROOTS MEASURES Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said Essex County has been at the forefront of demanding information from CP, who are legally required to ship freight from Global Partners, the company that owns the tankers and their contents, as part of federal common carrier statutes. Ò We put the hard questions to them,Ó he said, referring to a public meeting with CP officials in March. “The bottom line is you have to have regulations. The county can do plenty, but you

also have to work at the local level.Ó Scozzafava cited work with the Port Henry Fire Department and urged attendees to push for meetings with their local departments to discuss emergency response strategies. The next handson training drill is slated to be held on Sept. 24.

The trains, which often carry up to 120 cars, are required to cross state intersections within five minutes. Extending that timeframe to 10 might result in a slowdown, a measure Scozzafava said could boost safety.

DEFANGED Brian Mann, the North Country Public Radio Adirondack Bureau Chief who was invited to speak at the forum, said the debate on rail safety goes beyond whatÕ s happening in the North Country.

While the country has put themselves back in the energy-producing business — the North Dakota oil fields are booming as a result of new extraction techniques, a national push towards energy independence and the discoveries of shale gas reserves Ñ regulative efforts havenÕ t caught up.

The trend of deregulation in the industry has left regulatory agencies powerless and understaffed, he said. Regulatory agents dispatched to monitor the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Gulf of Mexico in 2010, for instance, didnÕ t have the expertise to be effectively tackle the problem even after they appeared on the scene, he said. Ò This isnÕ t about if should there be trains or not, but rather ensuring safety and regulatory standards,Ó he said, calling for what he referred to as a respectable and ethical middle ground. Ò We need oil, but we need to make sure the safety infrastructure is in place because the world has changed.Ó The national debate about regulation is Ò blitheringly stupid,Ó he said. Ò When you hear, Ô regulations are killing us,Õ grab your wallet because the question really is, Ô Which regulations?Õ Ó he said. Ò Be specific.”

A report by CanadaÕ s Transportation Safety Board released that same day identified 18 key factors that contributed to the Lac-Megantic incident, including inadequate handbrakes, shoddy testing procedures and staffers without proper training.

According to the report, the trainÕ s engineer, who is now facing criminal charges, called the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway’s rail-traffic controller to report mechanical problems on the locomotive and plumes of smoke emitting from the exhaust.

The now-bankrupt railway authorized the engineer to leave the engine overnight while he retreated to a nearby hotel. A fire broke out. Firefighters shut down the locomotive, which gradually disengaged the engineÕ s air brakes before a railwayemployed foreman with no

background in locomotives arrived. After consulting with the rail-traffic controller, said the report, the firefighters left without restarting the locomotive.

Then the train started rolling toward Lac-Megantic. Ò If any one of those had been corrected, this might not have happened,Ó said Mann. Ò ThereÕ s a slightly more nuanced conversation that we need to start having now.Ó Mann said the worldÕ s top engineers declared DOT-111 cars unsafe as far back as 1992. Some can be retrofitted to ensure more stringent safety standards, he said, but the exact effectiveness of that will likely be answered in the upcoming federal report.

The public comment period is ongoing.

At a meeting in March, CP officials stressed their safety record and gave lawmakers a detailed accounting of the measures they say have made them leaders in the railway industry. Ò Safety is CPÕ s number one priority,Ó said CP representative Andy Cummings when asked for comment about the meeting. Ò We will continue to communicate directly with the communities in which we operate to find ways we can partner to further rail safety and maintain an open dialogue.Ó CP employs staffers in the communities in which they operate.

Past interviews with fire department officials and emergency response officials revealed that their offices have a direct pipeline to CP and are engaged in regular discussion on safety measures, including emergency protocols in the event of a derailment.

18 - Times of Ti

Autumn is knocking on the forest floor After enjoying a pleasant and slightly wet, Labor Day weekend, IÕ ve already been making plans for the impending Fall season.

IÕ ve retrieved my hunting woollies from the Dry Cleaners, and my rifles are are all sighted in.

I even took some time over the long Labor Day weekend to sight in the bow, and clean up my tree stand. It is the first time in several years that IÕ ve had an opportunity to be prepared for the hunting season so far in advance.

The new annual license year began on Sept. 1, as NYS annual hunting licenses are valid from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 each year.

However, if you purchased last yearÕ s license between Oct. 1, 2013 and Jan. 31, 2014, the license will remain valid through Sept. 30, 2014.

There are a lot of items of interest to cover this week, and yet thereÕ s precious little time to go into great depth. Of course, the most important item on the calendar of things to do is to put aside some time to buck up some firewood for camp, and begin de-mousing the cabins in preparation for the upcoming season.

Of course, this must be accomplished while the tail end of the fishing season kicks in, as brook trout begin to go back on the prowl.

In addition, landlocked salmon will again begin their annual trek upriver on many tributaries that flow into Lake Champlain, as the quality and and population of these silvery leapers continues to expand.

Those who prefer to troll the Big Lake for salmon and other species are soon to realize the presence of a new aquatic invasive species. Unfortunately, the presence of Spiny Water Fleas has been confirmed in Lake Champlain. The Eurasian pest, which was initially introduced to the Great Lakes via the usual shipping conduit of the St. Lawrence River and the locks, has established unhealthy population in all of the Great Lakes, and now into the Big Lake.

I regret that it is likely only a matter of time before the midget size flea turns into a major nuisance on many of the regionÕ s smaller inland lakes and ponds.

Aquatic invasives are just a small part of the invasive equation that has slowly and insidiously made major inroads into our local woods and waters.

Over the years, IÕ ve used this column space to warn about the dangers of a host of invasives, including Lyme Disease which has traditionally been a downstate problem.

Last week, when my dog tested positive for Lyme, the vet explained that nearly a third of all the dogs he examines from the area have Lyme.

Invasives are not only in our waters and on our pets, they affect the forests, the fields and ultimately, our overall way of life.

A woodland invasive known as a Wooley Adelgid has been destroying woodlands across the region, primarily affecting firs such as balsam.

Although Wooley Adelgids have been detected in the Hamiliton County region, there is still hope of containing the spread.

It is expected that Gov. Cuomo will sign a new Bill, (Assembly Bill 9619B (Lifton)/Senate Bill 7851B (OÕ Mara) which will ramp up the continuing effort to combat aquatic species across the state. The legislation will likely lead to further efforts to limit With cooler weather on the way, and brilliant colors already beginning to cloak the local hillsides, it is a good time to consider making additional preparations for your usual forest forays.

As the seasons turns, darkness will come earlier and the weather will turn cooler. A working flashlight with fresh batteries, and an extra wool shirt should now be considered necessary items in your pack. And it would be wise to wear bright clothes, to make your presence known, as the annual hunting season approaches.

The big yellow buses are again on the highways, and those long VÕ s of Canada geese can be heard barking from above.

Brook trout have already begun sporting their autumn finery, with fire red colors, and gaping hooked jaws. Over the next few months, these native residents of the waters will again be on the prowl as they begin to fatten up for the spawn. And as usual, Adirondack anglers will go to great lengths to seek them out, in order to provide a few for the grill.

Ancient technology provides opportunities for modern hunters

September 6, 2014 in the Southern Zone.

Crossbows may be used to take deer during the early and late muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone and late muzzleloader season in the Southern Zone using Bow/Muzzleloader tags, deer management permits (DMPs), deer management assistance permit tags (DMAPs), or an unfilled Regular Big Game tag (late season only).

• During regular firearms seasons using a Regular Big Game tag, DMPs, or DMAP tags.

Crossbows may also be used to take deer or bear during limited portions of bowhunting seasons as follows, provided that the hunter possesses the muzzleloading privilege: • During the last 14 days of the early bowhunting season in the Southern Zone (i.e., November 1 - November 14, 2014); • During the last 10 days of the early bowhunting season in the Northern Zone (i.e., October 15 - October 24, 2014; this includes the 7-day early muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone); • Only Bow/Muzzloader tags, DMPs or DMAPs may be used during these times.

However, Junior big game hunters (age 14-15) may not use a crossbow to take a deer during the Youth Deer Hunt weekend (October 11 - 13, 2014).

In addition, adult mentors who accompany a junior big game hunter on the Youth Deer Hunt weekend may not possess a crossbow or firearm while afield on those days.

Small Game

In other news, NYSDEC has finally come to grips with a long, drawn out and often festering debate over the use of crossbows for hunting when the recently adopted final regulation changes to ensure that crossbows will be considered legal implements for the upcoming Fall 2014 hunting season.

With numerous advances in compound bow technology, there are very few archers that still utilize traditional longbows for hunting purposes. As a result, legalizing the use of cross bows was simply a likely step in the stateÕ s continued efforts to bring additional hunters into the field, and also to increase the harvest.

While some hunters continue to protest the use of crossbows, such efforts only serve to fragment the continuing effort to protect our hunting traditions. If hunters fail to recognize the need to work together for the benefit of all, the common bonds that we share for the hunt will be lost.

If the legalized use of crossbows for big game hunting will serve to put additional sportsmen and women in the fields and forests, the initiative may also serve to reduce the ever expanding deer herds that have caused significant problems in areas all across the state.

The new regulations will allow big game (deer and bear) and small game hunting with a crossbow under certain conditions.

Crossbows may be used only by licensees who are 14 years of age or older that have completed a Standard Hunter Education course offered

by DEC. Crossbows may be used to take bear during the early bear season, early muzzleloader season in the Northern Zone, regular firearms seasons in the Northern and Southern Zones, and the late muzzleloader season

Wild turkey - crossbows may be used to hunt wild turkey in either the fall or spring.

• Crossbows may not be used to take waterfowl or other migratory game birds.

• Crossbows may not be possessed afield in the Northern Zone when hunting small game (except coyotes) with the aid of a dog or when accompanied by a dog.

• Crossbows may be used to take any other small game or upland game birds during their respective open seasons, or to take unprotected wildlife (e.g., red squirrels and woodchucks) at any time.
