Community rallies to support St. Mary’s

TICONDEROGA Ñ M embers of the Ticonderoga and St. MaryÕ s School were quick to react when they heard news of a fire that damaged the Catholic elementary and middle school in the late hours of Sept. 5. ÒI t has been phenomenal,Ó Father Kevin McEwan said of the support he has received less than 24 hours after the fire

was first reported. ÒS o many have reached out and said whatever you need, we will work with you to make it happen.Ó Soon after the fire, a Go Fund Me account was created

by Chris Pelerin (gofundme. com/clwdxc) which had raised over $12,535 at press times.

Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Courtright said there will be a donation box at

the chamber offices, 94 Montcalm Street #1, for school supplies.

For Courtright, the news was a blow not only as a member of the chamber, but as a parent who had one day earlier dropped his daughter off for the first day of kindergarten at the school. ÒM y family is truly devastated by the fire that occurred at St. MaryÕ s School,Ó he said. ÒS t. MaryÕ s is so much more

than a building where children learn. It is a community, a family, a place where you know your child is cared for by teachers as one of their own. It was extremely difficult to talk to my four year old daughter this morning who just started kindergarten and was in the St. MaryÕ s Pre-K program last year about what had happened to the school she loves so much.

Ti Methodist, St. Mary’s churches prepare to welcome students

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ While volunteers and staff were busy picking up the pieces from the St. Mary’s fire of Sept. 5, others crews were starting to put together the framework for the educational institutionÕ s temporary home. Ò Our school is just a building, and we are the living stones,Ó Vice Principal and second grade teacher Karlene Gonyeau said. Ò With great enthusiasm we are rebuilding, and the thought of the children whose lives I share each day gives you the motivation to move forward.Ó

Sister Sharon Dalton, Principal of St. MaryÕ s School, announced when school resumes the primary grades (pre-k through fourth) would have classes at the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church, while the upper classmen (fifth through eighth grades) in the school would meet in the basement of St. MaryÕ s Catholic Church. Ò We met this morning with Dr. John McDonald and his administration from Ticonderoga Central School and went through the bussing and lunch arrangements,Ó Dalton said. Ò We are pushing forward with our church basement being turned into the junior high and the Methodist church will be for grades pre-k through fourth.Ó Ò I am overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity

TICONDEROGA Ñ Parents, teachers and community members came to St. MaryÕ s Church Sept. 9 committed to move forward after having their hearts broken by the Sept. 5 fire at their school.

One parent, speaking from the back of the room, showed the spirit of the community to bring their school back, better - and maybe even bigger - than ever. Ò When we rebuild, will there be enough room for a high school?Ó While Father Kevin McEwan would not give a straight answer, he did announce that the students of St. MaryÕ s School would be welcomed back to their new homes at the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church (grades pre-k through fourth) and St. Mary’s Church (grades five through eight) Monday, Sept.

15.

McEwan said while tremendous work has been done to prepare the new sites, more needed to be done to insure an ideal learning experience. Ò We need the time to provide the best that we can possibly provide in a tough situation,Ó McEwan said. Ò The work that has been done so far would amaze you, but we want to make sure that we are prepped and ready.Ó

St. Mary’s staff starts to pick up pieces

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Much like a bullet wound, what is seen on the skin does not tell the whole tale.

While there is only one major scar on the outside of St. MaryÕ s School, inside the walls is a scene of destruction and devastation. ÒE verything that was brought in here on Thursday is gone,Ó said Carrie Reale, member of the St. MaryÕ s Education Council and volunteer. ÒW e just didnÕ t realize until we were able to come in how bad it was. The assistant fire police chief brought me through Sunday night and I... you donÕ t realize the scope. From outside you canÕ t imagine what happened in here.Ó Reale said the school lost a yearÕ s worth of food and almost all of the books, desks and supplies. ÒW e canÕ t recover anything upstairs because of the heat damage,Ó she said. ÒT he fire got caught between the ceiling and roof and made it burn hotter. We do not know if we are looking at a complete rebuild or what will be done. Whatever is done, we have to be positive that there is no risk to the children.Ó Wading through the mud and ash caused by the fire, smoke and water sprinkler system, Reale showed the Times of Ti the four areas that were considered points of origin for the fire. The first was atop the desk of school Principal Sister Sharon

The fourth point, she said, was in Karlene GonyeauÕ s second grade classroom, but because of the damage which included the destruction of the outer wall, an exact point could not be determined.

Meetings continued Monday, Sept. 8, as the leadership of the school continued to plan for the future of St. MaryÕ s School. ÒF ather (Kevin McEwan) is focusing on the issues of the building and Sister (Dal-

ÒS he wants to make sure the kids feel safe when they come back.Ó Throughout the day, people came to the school to help clean and salvage whatever they could, or dispose of the things they couldnÕ t. Included were several students who decided to spend their unexpected day off helping their teachers and friends. ÒW e all met over at AidanÕ s house and came here to help,” sixth grader Jarrett Banish said, referring to Aidan Stacey.

St. Mary’s School victim of late night fire

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Two days after the celebration that comes with the start of a new school year, a fire with multiple points of origin has laid claim to St. MaryÕ s School.

Emergency dispatch received the call around 11:45 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, of a fire at the Catholic elementary school. The fire was reported by a teacher who was working in her classroom at the time. Ò One of my teachers was in the building and called it in,Ó said Father Kevin McEwan. Ò Nobody got hurt, thank God.Ó Ò I came down the street and I could not see much at first,” Ticonderoga Volunteer Fire Department First Assistant Matt Watts, one of the first on the scene, said. “I asked the teacher who was out front where the fire was and she pointed it out to me on the bottom floor. It looked like it was pretty much involved.Ó Ò I took a crew around to the back side when I got here and saw the fire there,” Chief Jeffrey Burns said. Ò Once we got our water source established and ladder up in the air we were able to knock it down quickly at that point. Everybody did an excellent job at what they did. They really busted it to knock it down quickly. To

come out of a fire like this, which is organized chaos, and not have anyone hurt, that is a win.Ó St. MaryÕ s Education Council member and volunteer Carrie Reale said her son, John, was having a sleepover Friday night and she went to bed around 10:30 p.m.

“The scanner went off and the next thing I knew, my son was in tears, shaking me awake and saying the school was on fire,” Reale said. Ò I ran over to Sister SharonÕ s house and it did not look that bad, but when I got back home to change that is when you could see the flames going up the side of the building.Ó Ticonderoga Police Department Patrolman Mark Belden said he could identify three separate points of origin when he arrived on scene. Ò It is under investigation,Ó Belden said. Ò We are going to secure the integrity of the scene and then go from there.Ó ÒI think they have done a fantastic job,Ó St. MaryÕ s School Principal Sister Sharon Dalton, SSJ, said of the local response, which included Ticonderoga, Putnam, Chilson, Schroon Lake, Moriah and Port Henry fire departments. “Many of them were students here so they feel this.Ó The fire destroyed the wall on part of the second floor, which Father McEwan identified as the second grade classroom.

McEwan said they will have to wait until

state fire investigators finish their job before they can see the full extent of the damage.

“When they finally let us into the building, we are going to have to see what if anything we can salvage,Ó he said. Ò It appears that there will be nothing that we will be able to salvage from the second grade room. That classroom has the whole wall missing.Ó Ò We have to wait until the investigation is through and until then we canÕ t even go into the building,Ó Sister Dalton said.

Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish said the investigation will continue into the morning hours of Sept. 6.

As for students and staff, Father McEwan had already talked to people who either were on scene as responders or many of those who came to offer their support and well wishes, many who were still there at 2 a.m., about how to get back to the education of their children Monday. Ò IÕ m going to have to sit down with Sister Sharon and figure out what we have to do,” McEwan said. Ò Obviously we are going to have to make quick plans and try to come up with something that is going to be workable for all of the kids.Ó Ò All of my teachers and their spouses have been here throughout the night at some point,Ó Sister Dalton said. Ò We will work it out. God provides. I have a really good staff and wonderful teachers.Ó Ò We will come through this and make it happen one way or another,Ó Father McEwan said. Ò The 55 year history of this school is not going to end with this.Ó

A bridge is a better option Enemies at the doorstep

1

826 called, and they want their ferry back.

ThatÕ s the year that the Champlain Transportation Company, now the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, was first incorporated in Vermont. Today we have other, more environmentally friendly options for crossing from New York to Vermont Ñ they are called bridges.

Perhaps in the early to mid 1800s it wasnÕ t feasible to try to build a bridge spanning the whopping 2.1 miles from Cumberland Head to Grand Isle, but times have changed. A two mile bridge is something for an engineering 101 class, not the kind of impediment to progress that has ham-strung the people of the Champlain Valley since before the Civil War. What, has kept that bridge from being built? Political apathy on the part of our local, state and federal politicians? The difficulty of two states getting together on an infrastructure project? What?

The last time the issue came up in any serious manner, it was argued that there is a bridge just up the road in Rouses Point. Anyone who doesnÕ t want to pay the $10, one way, for a single occupant car, can just take the bridge. Unfortunately, however, Rouses Point isnÕ t just up the road. In fact, the trek to the Rouses Point bridge for those who reside in the greater Plattsburgh area adds almost 60 miles each way to the trip. ThatÕ s two hours, and 4.8 gallons of gas (at 25 miles per gallon...which not all cars or trucks get). If Ô driving aroundÕ was in fact a viable option, then why was there such a rush to re-build the Crown Point bridge when it was condemned? Why werenÕ t the people who usually take that bridge just told to take the Essex ferry? The reason is because it doesn’t make any sense to take a ferry when a bridge can be built.

And where are our environmental friends on the issue? We currently have the option of diesel-spewing behemoths slogging back and forth across the lake 24 hours a day, or driving an extra 120 miles to make the trip. Is there any doubt that a bridge, consisting of a four mile round trip, would make so much more sense that itÕ s almost criminal that nobody is out hugging that tree for all their worth?

Some have argued that Vermont is too poor to pick up their share of the bridge. New York had to pick up about 75 percent of the Crown Point bridge after all. Well why shouldnÕ t New York just pick up the tab?

The Burlington area has jobs...lots of them. The New York side of the Champlain Valley needs jobs, badly.

With a bridge, it would be viable for New Yorkers to take jobs in Vermont. Several do now. Just check the number of New York plated second vehicles parked on the Vermont side of the ferry. Also, all the people who do work in Vermont wouldnÕ t need to buy a second car to keep on the Vermont side of the ferry.

Another win for New Yorkers.

Not to mention shopping. Plattsburgh has a dearth of good shopping. With a bridge, New Yorkers would flock to Burlington more than they already do to shop in Vermont. Now a family of four has to invest about an extra $40 to their trip. For most families on our side of the lake that amount makes the trip not worth taking.

So why havenÕ t our politicians taken up the issue of building a Plattsburgh bridge. Is it more proof that the North Country is out of sight, out of mind? Would it take too much political capital for the small amount of Champlain Valley people it would benefit?

So what about a toll bridge? Then the ferry company could still make money, only not at a rate of maybe $2 a car instead of $10. Let New York bankroll the bridge, and give the ferry company a 50 year lease.

Surely Andrew Cuomo, who has been throwing money around upstate like a drunken sailor on leave, could find some more money to throw into a bridge up here. And how about some federal love while weÕ re at it? Where do our federal representatives stand on the matter? Since neither of the major party candidates for US Congress are actually from the district, weÕ re sure itÕ s not forefront in their minds. Do either even know that there is a ferry still running in the 21st century.

A Plattsburgh to Grand Isle bridge will likely never happen in our lifetime, but why not at least have the conversation? You can drive on a bridge all the way to Key West, but not Grand Isle, Vermont. That just doesnÕ t equate. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor

Supervisor responds To the Times of Ti: I would like to respond to some of the comments in the recent editorial George MooreÕ s attorney responds.

It is correct that George Moore has paid his taxes since he purchased the property in 2004. I do not think that issue has ever been questioned. What was not pointed out however is that after ten years of ownership, the assessment on the A frame property, as it is often referred to, was grieved shortly after the auction in May of 2014. It was assessed at $524,800.

As a result of the grievance the property is now assessed at $275,000 land value. No value is assigned to any improvements on the property, including the A frame. This will result in a significant reduction in his tax. Interestingly, I went to the website of the real estate agency who lists the property and the asking price remains at $549,000. It has not sold in ten years at that price, and higher. If the A frame building has no value after ten years of neglect, why would anyone expect a sale now? I would expect to see it there ten years from now, still unsold. The largest parcel of the contested properties is assessed at $550,000, also with almost no value to improvements, almost all value to the land. Is it not too far a reach that this assessment will also be grieved, that the assessment will be lowered, once again resulting in lower taxes being paid?

The second issue mentioned was the Ò controversial manner in which the county rejected the highest bidder at the public auctionÓ . I have stated before that the Town of North Hudson began negotiations with the county to acquire this property as far back as November 2013. The Frontier Town/Republic Steel Task Force was assigned with the task of providing a recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors as to how to best proceed with sale of those properties. That recommendation was to combine four of the Frontier Town parcels and establish a minimum reserve bid of taxes owed for the property as of the April, 30 sale date. That was estimated to be a little more than $146,000. The recommendation of the Task Force was accepted by the full Board of Supervisors. Both the Plattsburgh Press and Denton Publications reported the details in March. This information was available to the public; it was not a secret or part of some clandestine plan. As it seems apparent to me that these publications are indeed read by Mr. MooreÕ s attorney, it seems unlikely to me that the minimum reserve on this property was a complete surprise, even though it was unfortunately not mentioned at the auction. Additionally, the terms of the contract clearly state that the Board of Supervisors may accept or reject any bid for any reason. I am told that this was also announced at the auction and so should have been clear to everyone. I cannot see how that is even an arguable point. It should also be pointed out that, as the Town of North Hudson had for months expressed interest in the property, the Board of Supervisors agreed to reopen discussion with North Hudson if the property did not sell at auction at the reserve price. To insinuate that this was some back door, clandestine plan hatched by the Board of Supervisors after the auction is ludicrous. It is false information that has no basis of validity. On the contrary, a review of the minutes would prove beyond reproach that the Board of Supervisors actions were just the opposite.

As to the issue of the lot in the parking lot of the A frame that was also to be auctioned, I wrote two letters to Mr. Moore informing him of the upcoming auction and that it was our hope that he would acquire that lot, thereby making that property whole.

Lastly, as to the offer of compromise made by Essex County, the county offered 3 of the 4 properties to George Moore. The

Return to school Continued from page 1 McEwan said workers have been diligently preparing both sites with materials that have been both donated and provided from St. MaryÕ s. Ò We have had desks that have sat in the basement of the church for years waiting for their moment,Ó he said. Ò Well, this is their moment.Ó Education Council President Erik Leerkes said the spirit of St. MaryÕ s will continue into their new facilities.

Now it is the time to move on and give our kids the best education ever. We are committed to rebuilding and reopening in our old location. Friday night was the bad, next Monday will be the good.”

Leerkes detailed some of the information needed for the return to school, first telling parents not to go and buy a new set of school supplies, because those would be, Ò taken care of.Ó As far as busing, middle school bussing will be as it was previously, while elementary students will be taken to Ticonderoga Elementary School, where they will be shuttled onto their own bus and taken to the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church from there. At the end of the day, students will be bussed back to the elementary school at 2:30 p.m. and placed on their proper bus route.

As for lunch, Ticonderoga Central will be providing meals for St. MaryÕ s until they are able to run their own kitchen out of the Methodist Church. Cost will be under the St. MaryÕ s pricing plan.

Father McEwan added more insight, stating the first priority of the staff will be to make sure student safety is put first.

fourth property, and largest was to be subdivided with the Town of North Hudson receiving the property west of Frontier Town Road, consisting of the large parking lot and former town itself, and George Moore would receive that property east of Frontier Town Road, consisting of all of the Route 9 frontage, including the former motel and restaurant. The restaurant is condemned and will have to be demolished. Also asked for was an easement over and through two roads from the Frontier Town property, across the property he owns, to the Blue Ridge Road. The counter offer stated that, Ò he is willing to assure the County of Essex and the Town of North Hudson, that he will allow access to the snowmobile trail over tax map parcel number125.1-1.21 (the disputed lands), as well as the adjoining parcel of land which is already owned by his family LLC, as long as he reserves the right to relocate the trail anywhere else on his land at any time he or the then current owner of the land believes that the current location interferes with the use and enjoyment of the lands.Ó This does not sound like a Ò permanent easement for the snowmobile trailÓ as stated in his recent letter to the editor. In fact, the recommendations for that compromise were the minimum that I felt would ensure a permanent, long-term use of the lands for recreational uses. It is clear that the counter offer made from George Moore did not ensure a permanent, long-term opportunity for the Town of North Hudson.

Ronald Moore, Supervisor Town of North Hudson

What is the cost?

To the Times of Ti: Dear North Hudson Resident, As most of you are aware there will be a special election on September 18th, regarding the Ò Ballot PropositionÓ calling for the town to purchase property from the county. There have been a lot of questions but few enlightening answers. As stated by our supervisor Ò this may be the most important decision our town will make in the foreseeable futureÓ . It is not a matter to be decided without fully knowing the consequences of mere speculation. I hope that you will take the time to read this letter and maybe gain a little insight into what is at stake here.

FACTS The property contains four parcels totaling 88.68 acres with an assessed value of over a half million dollars ($568,000.00) Parcel #125.1-1-12.134 does not include acreage and is only Ò Water Rights-Water SupplyÓ . Most of the property is behind the AFrame and includes the defunct park. Some of it is on Route 9 and includes the motel, BelleÕ s Restaurant. the brown house, and the warehouse. These buildings have been condemned by the town. Much of the land is considered Ò wetlandsÓ .

There has been a lot of talk, and confusion, about the A-frame (this is the most desirable piece of property for business). Please be aware this property is NOT included in the proposition. It is currently owned by George Moore of Keeseville who has paid upwards of $100,000.00 in taxes since he purchased it at auction. Ò This piece IS NOT included in the potential land acquisitionÓ .

COST TO TAXPAYERS IF ACQUIRED To our knowlege, there have been no marketing, cost, or feasibility studies. Without such in depth studies, there is no way of knowing exactly how much this will cost the taxpayers of North Hudson. At this point, anything said is speculation and should be taken lightly. Here are some of the cost we must seriously think about before agreeing to the land purchase.

Initial cost of the land - at this point the cost is $60,000 but it is not known if the town must pay interest, fees, and penalties Demolition and disposal of condemned buildings - cost un-

“The first priority Monday morning will be to show kids how to get out of the building,Ó McEwan said. Ò We will continually be focused on safety.Ó McEwan also said a member of the Methodist Church had volunteered to be on site as a grief counselor for students and that all academic records had been recovered from the school. He also said the students would not have to make up the time missed over the past week.

To help with the transition, Pastor Scott Tyler has planned a reception after church services Sunday, Sept. 14, where children can come and get to know their new home. Ò Since I have been here, one of my goals has been to build community outside of the church walls,Ó Tyler said. Ò When I heard this had happened, I knew that we had the large space. It was a no brainer to come down here and invite them in. This is our chance to put GodÕ s love into action, and I am so proud of my folks.Ó During his remarks, McEwan said he wanted to set the record straight on some topics, stating at present, they do not know if the building is salvageable. He also said the inside of the building has been very badly damaged and school officials would not comment on any of the circumstances surrounding the fire until they heard the official report from law enforcement. Ò What you have seen and read is what we have seen and read,Ó he said.

McEwan also read a letter from Ogdensburg Diocese Bishop Terry LaValley, who said his great sadness was outmatched by an even greater confidence in the St. Mary’s family.

“I have been able to experience the members of an extraordinary family over the past four days,Ó Sister Ellen Rose Coughlin of the diocese said during the meeting. Ò You have a hope-filled future. What has been accomplished in the last four days assures me that what this school has done for the past 59 years will continue.Ó

known and depends on whether the buildings contain lead paint, asbestos or other contaminates - not to mention what may be underground in other areas of land Marketing and feasibility studies - one time cost - unknown Creation and upkeep of recreational trails - it is not known who will maintain and groom the trails - if it is the highway department, do they have the time and equipment - continuous cost of maintainence and equipment -unknown Removal from the tax rolls - If the town is allowed to acquire these lands, they will be removed from the rolls indefinately.

Ron Moore stated it could take 15-20 years before we see any income from this property - continuous cost-unknown (estimated we will lose almost $100,000.00 in tax revenue over the next ten years).

Litigation - The land we are voting on is currently in litigation.

This land went to auction and there was a high bidder (North Hudson DID NOT BID at auction). That bidder has filed suit and it remains in court. Can North Hudson afford to be included in that suit? IS North Hudson already involved in this suit (is this the “litigation” for which the board meets in executive session)?

After costly litigation, we could still lose the proposed lands cost-unknown PROPOSED LAND USE There has been no clear designation as to the use of these lands. The town has covered all bases by claiming some will be used for recreational trails and some will be used for business interest.

RECREATION - In addition to the 240 acres already owned by the town, they recently acquired 130+ acres of former Frontier Town woodlands. That is over 370 acres forever removed from the tax roll. This should be enough land for the “Grafton Trail RidersÓ . If this is not suitable, the state has recently purchased thousands of acres for recreational use. In fact Ò 69,000 acres will become part of the Ò forever wildÓ Forest Preserve. As the properties come into state ownership, the State will develop recreational plans and determine classifications of the lands to encourage public access and appropriate use of the properties while also protecting their outstanding natural resource values.Ó How much more land do we really need for recreational use?

We can become the largest Ò playgroundÓ in the Adirondacks but who will benefit from that?.....motels and businesses in Schroon Lake and surrounding areas. Who will pay for that?....North Hudson. Where is the cut-off for the great Ò recreational use, land connectorÓ ?

BUSINESS - Although it is clear the town wants complete control over the business interest of these properties, once removed from the rolls, the town can not just Ò sellÓ it to whom ever they choose. There are strict guidelines and rules pertaining to municipal land transactions. As of yet, we donÕ t know the process and assume the town doesnÕ t either. Government processes are known for their Ò red tapeÓ . Are we willing to carry the burden for the next 20 years? “Can” we carry the burden? This is not prime property for business. WeÕ ve all watched these properties decay or sit on the market for long periods of time. Why are we assuming town Ò interventionÓ will be our saving grace when they clearly have no definitive plan?

As you can see there are many things to consider. What is listed here is just the obvious. We havenÕ t even touched on the unanticipated (cost or regulations governing municipal lands).

This could have devastating effects on the future of our little town. Once we take that road, there is no going back. Please let your voice be heard on election day - get out and vote on September 18th, between 12pm and 8pm. If you canÕ t vote in person, please request an application for an absentee ballot. Ballots will be counted at the close of polls that night.

Work continues on Tower Avenue bridge despite surprises

“We ran into some unexpected infrastructure that was buried behind the bridge bulkheads,Ó Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. Ò They have done a great job dealing with the unforeseen issues and work is still pretty much on schedule.Ó The first issue workers found was an active sewer line that was located near the bulkheads.

Could light malfunction lead to change at Ticonderoga intersection?

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A short of the stoplight at the intersection of Champlain Ave. and Montcalm Street could lead to a change in how traffic is directed through the fourway intersection.

The green-yellow-red signal light at the four-way intersection recently malfunc-

tioned when the circuit board was damaged, causing a short. The short caused some of the lights to break, turning the three light traffic pattern into a four-way, blinking red light. Ò We had red on one side of the road and green on the opposite side,Ó Supervisor Bill Grinnell said.

Grinnell stated the parts to fix the signal had been ordered, but there have been a

number of people who have approached both he and members of the town council about leaving the intersection the way it is now. Ò I have personally had people come up to me and so have the other board members,Ó Grinnell said. Ò People have asked if the signal could stay as a four-way red light.Ó Grinnell said he had not talked with Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns to seek

his input on any potential safety concerns a change of the light may raise, but would if the board decided to move forward with the inquiry. Ò We are considering it,Ó Grinnell said. Ò If we were to move forward on it, we would make sure we talked to everyone to make sure what the impact would be and would also have a public hearing to see what the people would want to be done.Ó

Ticonderoga Central School shifts administrative chairs

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ There were some new faces and some old in new places as the 2014-15 school year started for the Ticonderoga Central School District.

In the high school, John Donohue joined his sixth graders from the Ticonderoga Elementary and Middle school in Ò advancingÓ to the high school facility. Ò I felt this was a neat opportunity to see the end product of where our kids end up,Ó McDonald, who spent 12 years at the elementary school (two as principal), said. Ò It was the chance to stay in the district that I love, have my children enrolled in and am especially proud of.Ó McDonald said it has been enjoyable to see the students in the high school, many of whom he instructed at the elementary school.

His goals entering his new position are to keep moving forward and building upon what is already there. Ò We really want to maintain the success this building has with a variety of elective courses, great enrollment in advanced placement courses and helping students to transition into the Ô real world,Õ whatever that may be for each of them,Ó Donohue said. Ò I will also spend some time to see what can be built upon because there are always places to improve.Ó

John Donohue

John Perreault

Herb Tedford

Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said Donohue approached him about the high school leadership position when it became available.

“He expressed interest before we started doing a search and he was a natural fit,” McDonald said. “The teachers and the board are both very pleased. Most of the kids know him so there is already a good relationship between both sides.Ó When Donohue addressed students on the first day of school Sept.

reault, a Saratoga Springs native and Plattsburgh State graduate who spent the past few years as a teacher and administrator in North Carolina. Ò We had our daughter and we wanted her to grow up in the North Country,Ó Perreault said. Ò Ever since we went down there we have been looking to come back. I am glad Ticonderoga opened up because everyone has been great and you are hard-pressed to find someone that wouldnÕ t help us in one way or another when we moved here.Ó Perreault said he looks forward to working with the school staff and faculty to address the challenges it faces, including Common Core regulations. Ò North Carolina struggled with

the Common Core just like New York - New York has actually given it a little more structure and support,Ó he said. Ò I am fortunate to be following in the footsteps of a great administration and a veteran staff who is very dedicated to their jobs.Ó Perreault said the goal of everyone at the school to have the end in mind for its students. Ò They all look at how to get them ready for the next year as well as the high school and the next step beyond their school years,Ó Perreault said. Ò I am focused on learning what has happened here, what is going on now and then always be looking for opportunities to get better.Ó Another strength Perreault sees with the district is the community support.

Elementary new faces

Replacing Donohue at the elementary and middle school is John Per-

Ò You can tell by looking at our playground how much the community takes pride in the school,Ó he said. This school is for the community and is supported entirely by the community.Ó Perreault said he has talked with Donohue about the position, while he also has the ear of former lead teacher and current CES chair Tracy Price. Ò Tracy is right across the hall and has been a great asset,Ó Perreault said.

Price moved into the CES chair responsibilities when Jennifer Bull moved out of the district. To replace her, the school opted to hire Herb Tedford as an assistant principal. Ò We found that having someone in a half teaching and half administrative position was not effective,Ó McDonald said of the change. Ò Tracy had a background in special education so it was a natural fit when Mrs. Bull moved on. We felt we needed to hire an assistant principal who will be stationed in the elementary school but will have responsibilities at both facilities. Ò I want to bring a sense of trying to help the kids make the right choices,Ó said Tedford, who last worked at a clinical day treatment school in Connecticut. Ò I want to help them structure their lives to meet expectations both academically and behaviorally.

I have been meeting a lot of people and the staff has a lot of energy and enthusiasm.Ó

Sentinel sporting events free to all for second season

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Those making their way through the gates at the Sept. 5 Ticonderoga Sentinel football home opener found that for the second straight year, they were not reaching for their wallets to purchase a ticket.

Ticonderoga Central School Superintendent Dr. John McDonald said the school board voted to eliminate admission prices to sporting events for the second year. Ò We lost a little revenue but it had no major impact to the program,Ó McDonald said. Ò The response from the community last year far outweighs any lost revenue we may have to deal with. Families are already strapped and we did not want to make them pay to attend their childÕ s sporting event.Ó Admission was charged for football home games as well as boys and girls basketball games.

While McDonald said the elimination of admission prices would not include sectional playoff events, the Class D football title game and Class C semifinals and championship games for basketball happen at neutral-site venues (AuSable Valley High for football, Plattsburgh State for basketball).

McDonald said he believes attendance to Sentinel sporting events has benefited from the change. Ò I do think attendance was a little better last season as a result,Ó he said.

For the second year, there will be no admission charge to Ticonderoga football and basketball games.

Billing scam effects local residents

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Utility bill scammers are back to their old tricks. According to state police, swindlers are calling businesses and individuals claiming that their power will be shut off if payment is not received on an Òo verdue billÓ.

State police report that area businesses and individuals in Essex County have fallen victim to the scam.

In a statement, Troop B Commander Richard Smith warned residents regarding the details of the con. ÒA caution for anyone who may receive a call from one of the scammers: these calls are solely for the purpose of soliciting money and should be ignored,Ó said Smith. ÒI f a person or business receives a call like this they should hang up and call the representative utility companyÕ s customer service number to report the call. Always contact your utility provider directly before paying anything.Ó It has been reported that scammers are requesting payment be made via wire transfer or Pak Green Dot card. Police stated that utility service providers generally do not use or recommend wire transfers, or any other form of prepaid cards.

National Grid as well as New York State Energy and Gas have also issued statements making customers aware of the scam. ÒW e have repeatedly warned our customers about this scam and in most cases they become suspicious very quickly when someone attempts to take advantage of them,Ó said Mark S. Lynch NYSEG CEO and President. ÒW e urge our customers to never let their guard down.Ó NYSEG has also stated that they will not contact a customer for payment on an account that is in good standing and they will never ask a customer to purchase a debit card to make a payment.

They also urged customers who feel they have been the victim of a scam call to contact the federal trade commission by visit ftc.gov and contacting their local police dept.

National Grid offers similar advice to their consumers. In a statement they encouraged their customers to verify that they are speaking with a National Grid representative when they receive any call regarding their utility bills. Representatives stated that one way of doing this was by asking the caller for the last 5 digits of the account number they are referencing, if the caller can not provide this information it is likely that the call is a scam.

National Grid also asks that callers who feel that they have fallen victim to a scam contact National Grid by calling 800-642-4272 and local law enforcement.

Festival guild receives IP grant

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Festival Guild has received an International Paper Foundation Grant.

This grant from International Paper is very important because it addresses the mechanics of running the organization. The grant has enabled the guild to purchase some of the supplies required to keep it operational. Additionally, this grant makes it possible for the guild to replace signs and banners that are outdated. Ò It has been a great help to our organization to receive a grant specifically earmarked for the operational area of our activities,” said Judy Walker, Director. “We are very excited about getting signage that correctly communicates what we do, when and where.

Many people from Ticonderoga know that Arts Trek programs are on Wednesday mornings at the Knights of Columbus Pavilion but new people to town and outsiders do not know where the Knights of Columbus Pavilion is. Now we will have a good sandwich board sign to communicate what is playing on a given day as well as small signs that will direct traffic to the road leading to the pavilion. We will also have banners that will accurately advertise the timing and location of our summer Arts Trek ChildrenÕ s Programs. Ò The guild would not be able to provide programs for children and adults without this generous support because most of the programs are offered to the community free of charge,Ó Walker added. Ò Financial support from International Paper is and has been an important source of funds for which the Festival Guild is very thankful.Ó

Crown Point Central celebrates history of town, success of school

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ Crown Point Central School chose to celebrate their current successes at one of their townÕ s most historic sites.

A school-wide field trip was held Sept. 5, taking students to the Penfield Homestead Museum for a day of learning and celebration as the school was named a College for Every Student (CFES) School of Distinction for the fifth straight year. Ò We are one out of only 33 schools internationally to have received this award,Ó CPCS Dean of Students Tara Spaulding said. Ò CFES has given our students opportunities, adventures and the ability to meet their current and future academic goals to get to and then through college. You all deserve a round of applause.Ó Ò Your school-wide mentoring program is something that we have been very impressed with,Ó said Tara Smith, CFES Vice President. Ò If we gave a prize for the best overall application and portfolio, Crown Point would have won hands down.Ó Ò Tara works endlessly to make sure our school meets the CFES standards,Ó junior Erick DuShane said. Ò We wanted to thank her for everything that she has done for our school.Ó Ò This has been a wonderful opportunity to get a head start on college and a cool opportunity to meet people from other schools,Ó senior Kara Hunsdon said. Ò CFES really helps you prepare for college and after college in the career you may choose.Ó Spaulding said the school was looking for a unique way to present the fifth straight award to the staff and students at the school when they were approached by Joan Hunsdon, President of the board at Penfield. Ò When Joan came to present a scholarship for the Gabriel Fund from the White Church, she asked us to come and visit the museum,Ó Spaulding said. Ò We decided this would be a good place to have this event where we could foster civic engagement and have a unique venue to present this award.Ó Ò This was a tremendous opportunity and we thank the Penfield Homestead Museum for

Home-grown Mutton Hollow parade celebrates eighth year

MORIAH Ñ In 2006 Moriah resident Nancy CuttingSmith together with friends and family came up with the concept of a backwoods country parade. They took to their, then, dirt road of Mutton Hollow and strutted their North Country stuff.

“That first year we had about 9 or 10 floats,” said Cutting-Smith. “We just expanded from there and every year it gets better.Ó Cutting-Smith explained that the parade, which is held the last weekend in August annually on Mutton Hollow Road in Moriah, has always been a word-of-mouth type affair. Ò We never know who is going to show up,Ó said Cutting-Smith. “That is part of the excitement.”

In an effort to make this event not only fun but charitable a 50/50 raffle is also held. Ò This year the winner was Darren ShermanÓ said Cutting-Smith. Ò He donated to the Moriah Ambulance squad in memory of his grandfather Bill Endres.Ó In the past, Smith-Cutting explained, donations have been made to a number of local charities including helping community members in need with various illnesses or struggles.

Several local businesses came out to put together floats for this year’s event including Scalzo Construction, Vanslooten Marina, CheneyÕ s Farm and all three fire departments. Sheriff Richard Cutting also attended the event as did 21st district Congressional hopeful Elise Stefanik.

Following the parade, on the next day the Mutton Hollow Street community members hosted a barbecue open to all.

Smith-Cutting explained that all of the residents of Mutton Hollow support the parade and if they are not in it they are watching. Plans for next year’s event can be found on Facebook, or by asking around the community, the way it always has been.

Moriah, Schroon Lake and Westport ACAP after school alive, for the moment

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ Elementary school students in three local districts have been given the chance to return to their respective after school programs, but it may not last much longer.

Marge Zmijewski, program manager for Adirondack Community Action Programs (ACAP), said the three programs would be run through the month of September. Ò We told parents that we could not promise anything after the 30th,Ó Zmijewski said. Ò We have been told we are going to get funding, so hopefully we will be able to get through the year if that is the case.Ó Zmijewski said that she has been in contact with several local and state political officials to secure funding for the upcoming year. Ò Sen. Betty Little has been very active for us,Ó Zmijewski said. Ò She is out there looking wherever she can and speaking with other state senators and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.Ó Zmijewski added parents of students who utilize the program have also been advocating on its behalf, writing letters and making phone calls to politicians locally and at the state level.

The issue will continue, however, as the funding cycle for the after school programs will not reopen until the 2016-17 school year.

“The goal right now is to get funded for this year and then start on next year,” Zmijewski said. Ò The only other option there is for the program is they would all be self-pay sites because we would still have to meet all of the state regulations. My fear would be the fees would be too high for some parents to be able to continue to access it.Ó Zmijewski pointed out the issue of affordable, or even access to any, child care is a serious concern in the North Country. Ò This is a very serious need that spreads beyond just after school programs,Ó she said.

Frontier Town issue heads to North Hudson polls on Sept. 18

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON Ñ A decision on the fate of Frontier Town may be reached as soon as Thursday, Sept. 18 when North Hudson voters head to the polls for a permissive referendum to determine if the town can use $60,000 from their fund balance to purchase the property.

A local resident, Sindy Brazee, circulated and submitted the petition under the grounds that the decision should ultimately be left to the townÕ s residents.

By now, the facts are well-known: George Moore, a Keeseville-based businessman, purchased the A-Frame in 2006, the keystone of the former theme park that closed in 1998.

Essex County took ownership of the rest of the park, which spans some 88 acres, after the former owners reneged on their taxes.

In April, county officials included the series of parcels in a tax auction in the hopes that they could recoup, at the very least, the $146,000 in back taxes owed. (At the time, the property was assessed at $524,800, a figure that has now decreased to $275,000.)

Moore bid $47,500 on the parcels.

But the Essex County Board of Supervisors ultimately moved to reject his bid on the grounds that it did not mean the minimum re-

serve on the taxes owed. Furthermore, said officials, bids could be rejected for any reason.

North Hudson offered $60,000 for the parcels, a measure the board accepted. If the town were to sell the property within the next five years, one-third of the sale price over that amount would be turned over to Essex County.

Town Supervisor Ronald Moore, no relation to George, has said he hoped that a renewed sense of prosperity would fall upon the town under their leadership.

George Moore raised his offer to $65,000 and filed an Article 78 lawsuit against both Essex County and the town of North Hudson when they declined his offer.

Since then, the issue has dissolved into acrimony, with each side addressing criticisms through the press.

Members of the public have also weighed in, both for and against, while all have painted the issue as nothing less than an ideological struggle of public versus private ownership, growth versus stagnation, light against darkness.

While next week’s vote by residents will determine if the town can dip into their savings for purchase, it may not terminate the ongoing lawsuits.

Preliminary hearings, which were originally slated for Aug. 8, are expected to commence later this fall.

Polls at the North Hudson Town Hall will be open from noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18.

Sixth annual, award-winning Hague Oktoberfest planned HAGUE Ñ HagueÕ s award-winning annual Oktoberfest, has become a highlight of fall in the North Country. Now in its sixth year, this yearÕ s event will take place at the Hague Town Park Sept. 19 to 21.

“We invite everyone to come to Hague and explore our great little town during the best time of the year,Ó said Edna Frasier Hague Supervisor. “You’ll never find a more beautiful and friendly place.Ó The weekend of family fun kicks off on Friday night at 7 p.m. with the popular local band Calamity Rock performing classic rock and roll and country standards for your listening and dancing pleasure. The beer tent will offer Ð in addition to beer Ð festival foods, burgers and hot dogs, and soft drinks.

On Saturday, activities kick off at noon when the award-winning FritzÕ s Polka Band from Verona, takes to the stage for an afternoon of lively music. Ò This band is nationally acclaimed for its great polka and oompah interpretations,Ó said Tom Schaffer event chairman. Ò We look forward to their return to the Oktoberfest stage for the

third straight year. Dancing is encouraged.Ó Oktoberfest offers something for everyone. After you work up an appetite with some good old-fashioned polka under the tent, you can satisfy your hunger with some great traditional German and Belgian food, chili, burgers and grilled chicken, along with festival favorites like funnel cakes and French fries. Adirondack Brewery will be showcasing several seasonal brews for your tasting pleasure, and soft drinks and wine will also be available.

At the vendor fair, in addition to a variety of shopping opportunities, you can also do some wine tasting. DonÕ t forget to save time to visit HagueÕ s shops and restaurants, all within walking distance of the Oktoberfest venue.

The counselors from Silver Bay YMCA will bring their creative energy back to the kidsÕ activity tent for games, activities & crafts, the bounce house and other fall favorites on Saturday beginning at noon. Festival games for the adults begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Last year, more than 20 burly gents hurled an empty keg across the lawn in the keg toss competition, while an equal number of

women competed for the Miss Oktoberfest crown, awarded to the woman who could run the fastest and spill the least liquid from eight beer steins. Both titles are up for grabs again this year.

To wrap up Oktoberfest weekend, the Reverend Bruce Tamlyn will hold a non-denominational service on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. under the tent, followed by a fellowship hour and refreshments. What a great opportunity to spend a little extra time with the friendly people in Hague.

Oktoberfest will take place rain or shine in the Hague Town Park at the intersection of Routes 9N & 8. ThereÕ s plenty of free parking, and everything is in walking distance for a weekend of autumn fun in Hague.

Hague Oktoberfest is sponsored by the Town and businesses of Hague and the surrounding area. Look for Oktoberfest sponsors for lodging, restaurants and shops on the Oktoberfest website at http://www.visithague.com/Oktoberfest.htm. Admission charge is $2 ($5 for a family) each day (Friday and Saturday).

Ticonderoga tops Saranac in CVAC football opener, 33-0

By Akashia Swinton

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ FridayÕ s game against the Ticonderoga Sentinels was an eye opener for the Saranac Chiefs. Ticonderoga shut out Saranac Sept. 5 by the final score of 33-0.

The first quarter was high scoring for the Sentinels with the first three drives ending in 6 points. Brody Rocque, Garrison Hughes and Domanic Banish all had touchdowns for the Sentinels in the first quarter. Standouts for the Chiefs in the first quarter included Caiden Goodman with a 30 yard kick return and Rafael Rivera with a 44 yard reception from Mason Utzler.

Despite the large points discrepancy, the Chiefs were able to hold the Sentinels to zero points in the second half. Brandon Dubrey and Colby Russell both had big tackles for the Chiefs in the second half that limited the Ticonderoga rushing game.

With a combined 264 rushing yards, the Sentinels dominated the field with multiple weapons at their disposal. Leading the Sentinels in rushing yards were Konner Bruce with 8 carries for 77 yards and Garrison Hughes with 5 carries for 76 yards followed by Brody Rocque with 6 carries for 50 yards and Ryan Trudeau with 10 carries for 44 yards. The standout versatile player for Ticonderoga was Domanic Banish with two interceptions, 35 return yards and a 42 yard field goal.

Despite the fantastic performance by the Sentinels, there were 10 penalties and 2 turnovers that stunted TiconderogaÕ s scoring by negating a 55 yard punt return for 6 by Garrison Hughes and a 33 yard reception for a touchdown by Ryan Trudeau. This is an obvious point of weakness that the Sentinels will want to address for next week against the Peru Indians.

Coach Jason Daniels of the Chiefs looks to solidify blocking and defensive assignments to prepare for next week. He also is looking to prepare all players for more than two positions to prepare for various situations due to injuries which was an issue in the season opener at Sentinel Field. Key player, Caiden Goodman, went down in the third quarter with severe leg cramps which only intensified after being helped off the field. Knowing the work ethic of his players, Coach Daniels said he’s confident the team will come back fighting next week when they face the Moriah Vikings at home at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 13.

Garrison Hughes ran the ball five times for 76 yeards for Ticonderoga in the season opener against Saranac Sept. 5.

Moriah clamps down defensively to defeat Plattsburgh High

MINEVILLE Ñ Adam Jaquish threw for 109 yards and accounted for two second half touchdowns to solidify the Vikings 28-6 Friday night, Sept. 5 win over the Plattsburgh Hornets in the season opener for both teams.

Jaquish connected with Cody Stockwell for a 64-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline for a score, putting the Vikings up 21-6.

The Vikings took a 14-0 lead into halftime, but after a 64-yard interception

by Hornet linebacker Riley Monahan brought the Hornets down to the Vikings own two and Running back Mackenzie McKethan (6-40yds) promptly made it a 14-6 game. The Connection between Jaquish and Stockwell was pivotal in squashing the Hornets second half surge.

After Viking running back Troy Welch (7-29yds) went down early in the first half, Moriah ran behind a trio of backs.

Leading the way was Collin Harris with 18 carries for 99 yards. Fullback Noah Gilbo had 9 carries for 39 yards, and Cody Stockwell had three carries for 29 yards.

The Vikings defense was stout the entire night, holding the Hornets to six points and 60 total yards of offense. Bill Larrow led the way with seven tackles and two for loss; Noah Gilbo had six tackles and two sacks; Harris had an interception and a pass break upon the defensive side; and Jaquish had three pass break ups at defensive end, one being snagged down by linebacker Jordan Cheney for a four-yard interception and touchdown.

Plattsburgh’s first-year Head Coach Pat Keleher was not without praise for his team. He noted that even though they have 17 seniors they are still inexperienced and tonight they played with great heart and desire. They needed to work on the little things, alignment, penalties, and to prepare for Saranac LakeÕ s spread offense attack next week.
