Nine seniors part of annual program

TICONDEROGA Ñ Chief Mark Johns of the Ticonderoga Police Department has announced the department is making the necessary steps to get a K9 unit on board.

Johns said that there are countless reasons this addition will benefit the community, especially in the battle against drugs.

A K9 unit is more feasible than one would think and the department has evaluated how to make this possible.

Johns has carefully assessed his budget, moving things around to accommodate a K9 unit. The Chief is fairly certain he can do so with a proposed zero percent tax increase.

“I have been down an officer so I am in a unique position this year,” said Johns. “All officers will pitch in more hours and do extra work in which the money will be placed in a capital reserve account for a K9 program in 2015.”

Chief Johns approached the department with his proposal.

Johns said that instead of hiring an extra officer on Jan. 1, the department will wait until July 1, opening up half of an officer’s annual salary.

Johns plans on writing letters to elected state officials, including Betty Little and Dan Stec, to gain more support from the public.

moriah fifth grader honored for heroic actions

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Along with the demonstrations and instructions given to each of the elementary classes at Moriah Central School Oct. 15 as part of the school’s fire prevention awareness day, there was a special presentation at the end of the school day.

Firefighters from the Moriah and Mineville/Witherbee Volunteer Fire Departments, along with Essex County Sheriff’s and Emergency Services departments, were on hand to present fifth grader Emery

Tausinger with an award for his actions during the fire in the elementary wing of the school which took place Sept. 26.

“The helmet was my favorite,” Tausinger said of the items he was presented. Ò It was a lot heavier than I thought it would be.”

Tausinger said on Sept. 26, he had asked permission to go to the bathroom. When he entered, he saw thick, black smoke.

“When I looked to my left, I saw a garbage can on fire,” Tausinger said. “I was ‘jumpy,’ scared, but my first thought was to go and tell a teacher.”

“We are really proud our students have learned

The awards were presented by Moriah fireman Bill Trybendis, safety officer for the department who has been the long time coordinator of the fire prevention program at the school.

“If he had not reported the fire when he did, this could have been a disaster,” Trybendis said. “All of the kids had an unbelievable response.

Nine to participate in annual Ticonderoga Distinguished Young Woman program

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Nine young ladies from the senior class at Ticonderoga Central School will take the stage Saturday, Nov. 1 to vie for the title of Distinguished Young Woman.

The 52nd annual Distinguished Young Woman talent scholarship program will be held in the Ticonderoga High School auditorium Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. Admission is $7 and doors open at 6:15 p.m. Ò This program celebrates the best of our young women today,” said Tracey Cross-Baker, coordinator for the Ticonderoga program. “Participants are smart, creative, and engaged with the world around them. Our local committee works very hard to ensure that young women in the Ticonderoga area continue to have an opportunity to be part of this tradition. I am extremely proud that we have reached our 52nd anniversary.”

In 2014, those participating will share in more than $2,000 in scholarship awards. They include Constance Bailey, Georgette Fazioli, Michaela Fitzgerald, Naomi Forkas, Nicole Fuller, Lillith Ida, Lucy LaPeter, Sarah West and Josie Worley.

Baker has been involved with the program since youth, earning the 1986 Junior Miss title.

“To this day, it was a highlight of my senior year as 24 of my classmates were part of that program,” she said. “I began as a

volunteer in 1994 serving as the scholastics coordinator, then judges coordinator and now as program chairperson. I follow my mother, Marge Cross, as a volunteer. She started with the 1989 program and has been involved almost consecutively since then as a former chairperson and long-time choreographer.”

The program, formerly known as Junior Miss, evaluates the participants in several categories. Ò Evaluation categories include an individual interview with a panel of judges as well as a scholastic review,” Baker said. Ò The evening stage competition will include a group fitness routine, individual talent presentations and a group self-expression number.”

Rehearsals for the program began almost immediately after the start of the school year leading up to the program. ÒT his yearÕ s participants are a diverse and talented group of students,” Baker said. “Many of our participants have looked forward to being part of this program as it has been here for a long time. Several young women this year are participating because this was also a program their own mothers participated in. Others were a Little Sister when they were in second grade and they now enjoy the chance to be that role model for someone else.”

Participants in the program have also served as mentors to a group of second grade students through the Be Your Best Self program. Ò This outreach program strives to encourage young people to be their best selves in important areas including academics, physical fitness, character, and community involvement,” Baker said. “Joining the program this year as Little Sisters were Madilyn Defayette, Teagyn Maness, Kadence McDonald, Phoebe Holman, Gabby Dedrick,

Chloe Upton, Jazlyn Disbrow and Layla Weilacher.”

At the event, there will be a basket raffle to help fund the program, entertainment by the Little Sisters and reflections on the program from last year’s winner, Katherine Towne.

Baker said donations toward the program are still being accepted. Ò Sponsorships and donations from community partners so far have included McDonalds of Ticonderoga, Libby’s Bakery, the Hot Biscuit Diner, the Corner Market, American Legion Post #224, Command Performance Dance Studio, the Knights of Columbus #333, Pat Ida CPA, Carney & Breitenbach, Trout House Resort, Circle Court Motel, DL Paige Building & Excavation, Inc. and Kye T Fitness,” she said.

For more information about this year’s program, contact Baker at 585-2525.

Ti Neighbors against Drug Abuse make strategic plans to combat issues

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Neighbors Against Drug Abuse Coalition held their monthly meeting on Oct. 14.

The discussion covered a range of topics with many influential members of the community in attendance, allowing various viewpoints and perspectives to come together in TiconderogaÕ s battle against drugs.

The meeting was lead by Doug Terbeek, Executive Director for

the Prevention Team, and had eight members of the coalition in attendance. The coalition first discussed their community forum held in August, which one member, Mark Moss, said he wished there had been a better response from the public.

“It was a nice panel, but I was disappointed that more people didn’t attend,” Moss said.

This issue is something the panel plans on addressing before their next public forum. The event will be advertised more and possibly have a different approach.

Surveys were handed out in August asking those in attendance what they liked and didn’t like about the format of the event. In order to attack Ticonderoga’s most pressing issues head on, the coalition feels that more community members need to be informed and involved in these forums.

TiNADA plans on listening to suggestions both from members of the coalition as well as survey results and changing things up for their next public forum.

A representative from the Ticonderoga Central School District, Phil Kneller, suggested that the forum should involve high school and college students and perhaps even have some interactive activities.

He pointed out that not everyone responds the same way to a panel discussion and maybe a more hands-on approach could get people involved. Coalition members were in agreement, planning on recruiting the necessary people from the community to make this a reality.

Terbeek pointed out that part of the coalition’s mission is an educational segment. Ò This will help us all understand that enforcement is not the answer, it is one of them but not the only one,” he said.

Terbeek then discussed a movement that is about bringing recovery into the light, making people remember that these addicts will battle their addictions for the rest of their lives. A documentary entitled, “The Anonymous People,” was created to address this rarely talked about side of addiction, and Terbeek presented an eight minute clip to the coalition.

“The goal wasn’t to become addicted, just like diabetics or those with heart disease, these people didn’t plan on it,” Terbeek said.

The coalition is in talks to have a public screening of the film, hopefully allowing members of the community to see a side of addiction that is often brushed aside.

“We need to bring this into the light. It will force policy and legislation to change,” Candace Stefanik of the National Guard’s Counterdrug Task Force and member of TiNADA said. “It is wonderful for people not to be discriminated against. Jail is not a place for people to detox.”

Terbeek also passed around an informational packet detailing New York State’s Combat Heroin and Prescription Drug Abuse initiative.

TiNADA will continue to meet every month and invite members of the public to join their conversation. Their next meeting will be on Nov. 18, at 6 p.m. at Ticonderoga’s Town Hall. To contact TiNADA about having them speak at an event or meeting, please call 585-3080 or 585-7424.

High school voters prepare to cast first ballots Nov. 4

By Ryan Price ryan@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga young voters have began preparing to cast their ballots for the 2014 election season.

Several students at Ticonderoga High School are ready to walk into the voting booth and officially cast their ballots Nov. 4.

“I plan to vote because it is my civic duty,” said Ticonderoga senior Tomas Hendrix. “A lot of people believe their votes don’t count when they actually do.”

First time voters are required to fill out a voter registration form that has to be sent to the Essex County Board of Elections. Voters of Essex County are required to register 25 days before election day, be a resident at their current address 30 days prior to an election, and select a party affiliation when registering.

As young voters make their way to cast their first ballot for the 21st Congressional District seat in Washington, several factors will affect their vote. The candidates running for this year’s 21st Congressional District seat include Democratic candidate Aaron Wolf, Republican candidate Elise Stefanik and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello. Several students that have been following this intense race have commented on what they think makes a decent candidate.

“It’s important to know where the candidates are from,” said Hendrix. “A person that has general knowledge of the area, is a resident, and was born here is a good candidate.”

“Which ever candidate best represents my political views and personal beliefs will be how I base my decison,” said Ticonderoga Senior Michael Watts. Ò My decision will be based of my personal political beliefs and which ever candidate appears to be beneficial to the rest of the country,” said Cody Shaner.

Although many people may not believe young voters have something to say or a want to be a part of government several do. Young voters have opinions too and can have an affect on elections just as much as current voters.

“It is important for the younger generation to vote because we have opinions and ideas too, “ said Shaner.

Young voters are the future of the United States government and have voices that are waiting to be heard.

David Hennel, Governor of District 7190, Rotary International, hands his theme banner, “Light Up Rotary,” and the new Rotary logo sign to Jean Yager, president of the Northern Lake George Rotary, while John Crawford, Assistant District Governor looks on. Hennel was the guest and speaker at the local Rotary Club meeting at Silver Bay YMCA, which meets on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 a.m.

Make sure Whitehall melee does not happen

T

he regular season in local high school sports is now over, and the Section VII playoffs are set to begin in all of the fall sports, from the cross country Championships Oct. 31 to the football title games Oct. 31 to Nov. 1.

This is a time of year when old rivalries heat up. The game between Moriah and Ticonderoga for the Section VII/Class D title, much like the Class B matchup between Beekmantown and Peru, has plenty of fanatics charged up and ready to cheer their teams on to victory.

In soccer, games in Class D pitting anyone against sectional power Chazy always prove to be an emotionally charged affair.

The players are charged up to either get another chance to prove they can beat their opponent or a second chance at being the victors.

There is a lot of emotion that comes from these games, but, under no circumstances, can we see a repeat of what happened on a football field just south of here Oct. 18.

In a game between host Whitehall and visiting Rensselaer, New York State Police had to be called in after rough play led to a brawl, the brawl led to ejections, the ejections led to more rough play and eventually the premature ending to a game that had barely kicked off into the second half.

At the suggestion of Whitehall Athletic Director Keith Redmond, the game was called off because tempers were not calming down after an on-field brawl which had coaches pointing the fingers at the opposite sideline.

Rensselaer, who had a coach - someone who we believe should be a role model to their student-athletes - ejected, claimed that a Whitehall coach pinned one of their players down and fans were heard yelling racially-charged comments from the home stands.

While Redmond said no one was without blame for the events that unfolded, Rensselaer head coach Joel Preston placed the blame on the host team and the officials, being heard on video saying, “You haven’t seen a lot out there today.”

In the end, Troopers were called to the scene and would not permit Whitehall fans or players to leave Ambrose Gilligan Field until Rensselaer players and fans had left the school facility.

This kind of incident is completely unacceptable in the high school sporting arena, and we applaud Redmond and head referee Mark Cleveland for their actions in putting an end to a serious situation which could have become worse as tempers continued to boil over.

With the praise those two men deserve, we believe head coaches Preston and Justin Culligan of Whitehall and their staffs failed to their jobs as leaders of high school athletic programs. They both, despite what Preston may believe (Culligan was quoted as saying, “neither side is innocent in this), needed to show restraint and help to defuse the situation.

On Monday, Culligan lost his job as the Whitehall head coach. We believe Rensselaer should take similar action and remove Preston from the sideline as well, along with the assistant coach who was ejected during the game.

Instead, you had Rensselaer coaches running over to the Whitehall side of the field, where the incident took place which started the brawl, and coaches yelling, pointing fingers of blame, pushing and in one case, if not two, getting physically involved in the melee. No coach should ever be ejected, ever, especially if it involves endangering the welfare of a high school student-athlete on any team.

So, how do we make sure we prevent this kind of incident from happening on the playing fields in Section VII: Athletic Directors and school administrators: Be as present as you can be at your games. If Redmond had not been at the game, who knows what may have happened if the decision had been left solely on the shoulders of the coaches. Coaches are busy dealing with the game and those involved and cannot be asked to be site security as well. If there is a situation where the A.D. is not able to be there or is coaching in the game, make sure there are chaperones who can monitor the fans as well as the field. This is one we feel Section VII schools do well as we see many school officials at the venues throughout the region.

Officials: End “chippy” play early on. If that means a yellow card in soccer, show it. A personal foul in football, throw the flag. Don’t be worried about increasing the penalties if the “chippiness,” continues, because that’s what the red card and ejections are for.

Coaches: Don’t just preach sportsmanship, but be an example of sportsmanship in practice and on the sidelines. A lot of what fanned the flames to the Whitehall situation can be traced to how the coaches reacted. These kids are going to take their cues from the role models on the sidelines. If you are calm, it will help calm them down. If you are looking to pick a fight, guess what your players are going to want to do?

Oh, and speaking of role models: Parents and fans: We know 90 percent of you are there for the right reasons, to cheer on children and be supportive. But to the other 10 percent who ruin these moments for everyone, your bad behavior has to stop.

You know how, as parents, you complain that you sound like a broken record when disciplining your kids for bad behavior? Well, dido from us.

As an example, one of our reporters witnessed some shameful behavior at a Section VII rivalry game (which will take place again in one week), where a visiting fan was walking up and down the sidelines verbally harassing a member of the opposing team. That is unacceptable, as this older person was being abusive to a 16-17 year-old boy. That’s right, boy. Not man. Not professional athlete. Not college athlete. Teenage boy. People who do this should be ashamed, along with ejected from any site they are at.

So please, let’s make the Section VII playoffs and subsequent state runs many of our local teams make a source of pride for our communities, not a sad lead-in for the 6 o’clock news or fodder for a newspaper editorial. Ñ

Letters to the Editor

Non-profits do their part To the Times of Ti: “Nonprofits: Should they pay their fair share?” Before committing this act of sticking the editor’s foot in the mouth, the editorial board should have taken stock of the content provided to that very edition of the DenPubs News Enterprise. Twenty four articles, press releases, pictures, and paid advertisements were submitted and/or paid for by the non-profits in this region. This is a hefty percentage of news ink sponsored by the organizations that the editorial board feels “impose a cost on municipalities.”

Non-profit organizations are useful and enriching to these little towns tucked into the mountains, whether it is an educational, art, medical, or religious resource. While the article does try a little to differentiate between types of non-profits, it also does little to prevent grouping every organization into the same scourge on the system. We- the non-profit collective- are Volunteers, not ‘squatters’ as is suggested in the article. We donate our time, our resources, our skills, gasoline, phone calls, letters, and ink cartridges. We offer free public programs, free receptions, and free exhibits to benefit our communities. What would the Adirondack community landscape look like without the benefits of non-profits? Empty.

Another victim of crime To the Times of Ti: To the person or persons who entered my garage on Oct. 14th, and took that which did not belong to them: I hope you enjoy what you have stolen from me. Maybe there is still hope for you in the future. Sooner or later your criminal acts are going to catch up with you, unless you feel like changing your ways in order to make yourself a better person for yourself and society.

The bottom line is: how would you like it if someone came on your property and took what belonged to you?

Rick Ezzo Ticonderoga

‘Heroic’ response by UMC To the Times of Ti: The response of the First United Methodist Church in Ticonderoga, NY to the recent fire devastating St. Mary’s School was nothing short of heroic. The immediate and unwavering offer of the use of the facility to house our elementary school was an answer to a huge prayer.

No sooner had the school burned down than did the Methodist Church nobly step up to help us.

We are so very thankful for this support from our neighbor and friend in Christ, and we do not know what would have been the alternative, if not for their reaching out. What we do know is that the school would in no way be up and running within one week’s time.

The almost seamless transition for our students and staff has meant the world to all of us, especially after the emotional and physical crushing that everyone experienced from this loss.

Furthermore, the step up to the plate that was seen by Jenn Pike and Carrie Reale, who spearheaded the effort to get the school up and running again, was simply tremendous! Who would know the skill and take charge abilities of this duo, had it not been witnessed firsthand? The enormous amount of volunteers organized, donations received, and construction designed and carried out, happened in a huge step by step process, thanks to Carrie and Jenn’s tireless efforts overseeing each of these tasks. For giving themselves so completely and carrying out all that had to be done in such a wonderful way, we are very grateful.

So many people have given of themselves during this crisis that it is mind boggling. As impossible as it may be, I wish that I could thank each one individually who responded in our time of need. The helpful hands, the prayerful thoughts, the words of encouragement and sympathy, the food and drink given, and the donations of every kind, have been all so sincerely and generously offered. Chris Pellerin, a St. Mary’s School Alumn, wanted to help and did so by organizing on line donations. Even present students contributed through holding bake sales, designing sweatshirts as a fundraiser and working to get the school operating.

The numerous businesses, schools, and organizations that have donated to our need have provided one more, thick layer of support that has contributed to the rebuilding of our school. The depth and breadth of these contributions is amazing and the “communitywide” support reaches far beyond our geographic area. From pencils and crayons to complete sets of textbooks and library books, the vast array of donations is astounding. Our needs continue, but due to an extreme lack of storage we must ask that future donations target specific needs.

We want the community to know how thankful we are, and how much we appreciate every detail of attention that has been given to our every need. We could never have gone on without these many gifts. How encouraging to know that our mission is one that is shared by so many, and how wondrous it feels to be part of this loving effort to rebuild our school.

Sister Sharon Dalton Principal, St. MaryÕ s School Ticonderoga

Who will you vote for?

To the Times of Ti: Another election is just around the corner. As our economies continue to shrink and our adult children still continue to be forced to look for work elsewhere, who will you vote for?

Will you vote for the continuation of the “tourism, environmental and planning” mantra to “create “ jobs or will you elect people who will actually repeal some of our overly restrictive laws and allow some year-round industry to come

into the area, bringing with it families and children to support our local business and fill our schools?

Yes, CATS trails are nice but the underlying desire to tie up all development outside of our hamlets will not help us in the least.

Here in Westport, we are being warned by our new school Superintendent that we may be facing school closure within five years if things don’t change. Our kids will be shipped off to Willsboro, Elizabethtown, and Moriah. As she has experienced, it will mean death to our community.

So as you ponder who to vote for this Nov. to fill that seat on your town council or supervisor position, be aware you can continue the downward spiral or take a course reversal and start the journey back to economic sanity for you, your neighbors, and our children.

Tim Sherman, Westport

Thanks to hospital To the Times of Ti: We would like to thank Dr. Mary Glickman and Vicki Savage; all the nurses, PTs, OTs, aides and hospital staff, and everyone else at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital, for the wonderful care and concern to our loved one, Nancy Morelli, and to us, her family, when she was hospitalized there in August.

Everyone was wonderful and we will never forget the way we were all treated in Nancy’s final days. We are very fortunate to have this caring institution in our North Country.

Thank you, The family of Nancy Morelli

Editorial misleading To the Times of Ti: The Valley News Editorial “Nonprofits: Should they pay their fair share?” implies that not for profits don’t create jobs; paralyze economic development; serve hobbyists and insular groups (many of which represent seasonal residents;) don’t serve the poor; and create towns “preserved in amber” (aka playgrounds for the rich).

In claiming that Adirondack not-for-profits own 20 percent of our area’s private lands, being 600,000 acres, the editorial may confuse the lands protected by conservation easements (a little over 600,000 acres) with the lands owned by not-for-profits -- schools, churches, museums, and the like -- which total far less.

Lands protected by conservation easements benefit from certain tax benefits; in return, they provide public benefits whilst still paying some taxes. At 14,200 acres, Paul Smiths College lands may be the largest not-for-profit holding, New York State College of Forestry owns 11,000 acres; Fort Ticonderoga, 2,000 acres; the Wild Center, about 85 acres; and the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake, just 38. The two colleges use their property for education and training in forestry and forest management. Fort Ticonderoga, the Wild Center, and the Adirondack Museum use theirs for educational purposes.

All are the largest or one of the largest employers in their given community and each attracts over 100,000 visitors annually who support a multitude of restaurants, shops, and lodging facilities.

Land owned by the public schools adds up. But asking them to pay a land tax would result in our school taxes going up to cover their new tax burden. Taxing churches -- most of which operate food banks and a multitude of other services for the less fortunate -- would reduce their ability to help the poor. Taxing hospitals, assisted living, and other health institutions would just drive up health costs, reduce services, and perhaps lead some to close their doors.

Museum and other cultural institution funding are greatly supported through the generosity of seasonal residents; however, the vast majority of their attendees are visitors and locals – not those writing the funding checks. Their generosity keeps the price of attendance down and supports many free educational events for local children and youth.

The Adirondack Foundation commissioned the SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations to conduct a study of the economic impact of not-for-profits in the Adirondacks. Their 2013 report concluded that over 10 percent of the workforce in the Adirondacks works for not-for-profits (17 percent works for local government, 14 percent for the state, 3 percent for the federal government, 12 percent are self employed, and for profits employ 43 percent). The 36 not-for-profits selected for the study (a small percentage of the total) paid $84 million in salaries, $6.3 million in payroll taxes, served over 1,6 million people, over $214 million in total expenditures, and brought over $32 million in grants into the region. 36 percent of their employees are in the 20-40 years age group, meaning that they are one of the best assets we have for attracting young families to and keeping them in the region.

Bottom line: without not-for-profits the economy of the Adirondacks would be great peril as play a vital economic and educational role, creating jobs and attracting money and young people to the region.

To keep us safe

To the Times of Ti: The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine takes an oath of allegiance to protect and defend this ideal, which is unique to our Nation. Apparently, Governor Andrew Cuomo and some of our wrongheaded Legislators in New York State do not believe in the basic tenets of our Constitution. The flawed reasoning behind the recently enacted and unconstitutional edict known as the “Safe Act” is counter to the very ability of our citizens to protect themselves, their families and our Nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

The inability of our citizenry to defend themselves could well result in a weakness which would allow big government to become our Master, not our servant. The inability to self-protect is evident in nations world-wide. Socialism, Marxism and Communism do not work. A well armed, free and educated citizenry is a

bulwark against aggression.

If you are indoubt whether all our enumerated rights, including the 1st and 2nd Amendment must be protected-Ask a soldier. Do not presume the protective bubble we live in will be maintained without keeping our basic freedoms intact. This security has been purchased with the blood, sweat and tears of our fighting men and women of our armed forces, do not squander it. We who have served and those who serve today and tomorrow will be watching how the gift of liberty is treated.

Any politician who would attempt to weaken, trample, modify or do away with our exceptional Constitution should be immediately removed from office. On Nov. 4 we will have an opportunity to do just that. Governor Cuomo and other anticonstitutionalists must go. Vote them out! We the People need to reclaim our say over government.

Breakdown tax relief received

To the Times of Ti: A breakdown of the tax relief each non-profit receives would be educational for citizens and local governments in the North Country. I’d like to see the breakdown by religious organization, health care centers and hospitals, recreation, arts councils, and environmental organizations - the categories you mention in the Oct. 18 Opinion column.

Having these numbers would help the public and municipalities evaluate the benefits to their communities.

EMS needed To the Times of Ti: Recently one of our community members had a serious heart attack. He was discovered by a neighbor who immediately called 911. Although they live about 12 miles from the EMS station, an EMS fly car was located much closer. Within a few minutes the fly car containing a defibrillator was at his house and the EMS technician was reviving him. A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived to provide ALS (Advanced Life Support) transport to the hospital.

Thanks to the nearby defibrillator and ambulance, the man survived and is recovering well. Without these community services he certainly would have died.

This health emergency did not strike our family but in the future one could. We are so thankful to have our Johnsburg EMS readily available. Our family will be voting to provide the needed tax support in the upcoming election. Please join with us in supporting this important service and vote YES on proposition 4.

To the Editor, 10 reasons to elect Aaron Woolf to represent YOUR district: 1. Woolf will aggressively work to improve the Affordable Care Act rather than repeal it (as Stafanik promises).

2. Woolf will protect Social Security and fix it by ensuring that high earners and big companies pay their fair share.

3. In Woolfs internationally acclaimed film King Corn, he shows how Congress currently subsidizes the Happy Meal rather than a healthy meal from a local family farm and served by a small business/school cafeteria.

4. Bill Owens toured with Woolf to all corners of this district.

Owens endorsed him because he sees in Aaron the bipartisan leadership that is needed in DC. 5. This is Woolf's first involvement in politics. Meanwhile, Stefanik coached VP candidate Paul Ryan for debates.

6. Woolf has been rooted in Essex County for over 40 years, Like many professionals in the North Country, his work brought him to NYC where he has met with success.

7. Woolf is a REAL small business person. His best film did 100K in sales, not $25 million per year like Stefaniks small family business. He helped save many old theaters around the district from going out of business by getting them equipped with digital projectors.

8. Woolf and his wife chose the site of his father's burned down house in Elizabethtown to rebuild and raise their daughter. They invest their wealth directly into the 21st district through land and school tax. Stefanik pays taxes in DC. 9. Woolf raised money from small donors within the district and paid for his campaign out of pocket. Significant Stefaniks funding comes from extreme political players Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers.

10. If you like Matt Funicello vote Woolf. He can actually further some of Matt's ideas.

K9 Continued from page 1 The Chief said that in the past, the community has pitched in great amounts in order to have the program succeed.

Johns reports that when he approached the town board, 90 percent of them were in agreement.

“It is feasible and important and we will do this one way or another, but it will be great to have you on board,” said Johns to members of the Ticonderoga Neighbors Addressing Drug Abuse. “I am optimistic based on what I know so far, but support from the public and letters of interest will definitely help.”

To maintain the program, Chief Johns said that the cost is only about $6,000-7,000 annually. Ticonderoga is fortunate to be in a financial position that allows for a program which would be very conducive to the community, especially with the current drug epidemic.

The only cost Johns must come up with is the six month hole in his schedule where he will be training with the dog. Officers receive the dogs as puppies and bond/train with them for a six month period in order to educate both the dog and officer in various aspects of the program.

“I could talk about this for 45 minutes,” Johns said. “A K9 unit would help with more than just drugs, it would carry into PR, search and rescue, apprehending dangerous criminals...I could go on and on.”

The proposition for a K9 unit will be addressed at the next town board meeting on Thursday, Nov. 12. Johns will discuss how the unit will be worked into the budget and possibly bring in an officer from a Vermont department and his dog to show those in attendance how crucial this addition could really be.

Johns asks the community to take a closer look at all the uses a K9 unit could serve in the town.

“We aren’t sweeping up a problem, we are going after it,” said Chief Johns.

Ticonderoga’s taxi services to be regulated in future

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Chief Mark Johns made several announcements at the Ticonderoga Neighbors Against Drug Abuse Oct. 14 meeting, one concerning Ticonderoga’s taxi services.

“Taxis in Ti are unregulated and donÕ t have the safest people operating public transportation,” the Chief said. “We are working on establishing criteria on the local level.”

The criteria Johns listed were as follows:

•Taxis must register with the town clerk •To operate a cab, drivers must apply for a permit.

•If there is a felony on a driverÕ s record within the last ten years, they will be unable to operate a cab (unless found exempt).

•Drivers will go through a drug screening process as well as have their previous employment checked •Drivers must provide a certified driving abstract.

•Registered sex offenders and drivers with substance abuse issues will be ineligible to operate a cab.

The criteria Johns listed is based on other municipalities in the area who have regulated their taxi services.

Johns stated that contrary to popular belief, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles does not regulate taxi cab services. All a driver needs to operate a cab is a Class E license which Johns said, “they will give to anyone just by paying. Ò You could have 11 accidents on your record and the DMV will give you the license for a fee,” he added. “We are not trying to regulate a business, but we are looking at this as a public safety concern.”

What could be better than coming together for a fall walk or jog and then a hot, wholesome breakfast!” The popular ‘short course’ for the younger crowd is a particular highlight for race organizers.

North Country SPCA

Kathy L. Wilcox • 873-5000 he weather is getting cooler, and there have been rumors of snow in the air - wouldn’t it be great to spend this winter getting out and about on your very own snowmobile?

The North Country SPCA is sponsoring a snowmobile raffle to win a 1996 Artic Cat 580!

This beauty will be raffled on Jan. 17, 2015.

Tickets are $5/each or three for $10, and can be purchased by contacting the shelter at (518) 8735000 or emailing jhartley@ncspca.org.

You do not need to be present to win.

As you may know, October is Adopt-aShelter-Dog-Month. Did you know that it’s also Pit Bull Awareness Month? Pit bulls are often thought to be aggressive, short-tempered animals who do not make good family pets.

However, a pit bull that is raised in a loving environment,with proper socialization, supervision, and humane training, can be an affectionate, loyal companion.

Much of the aggression seen in the media involving pit bull attacks occurs as a result of dogs being abused, neglected, or trained to be “fighting animals.”

The North Country SPCA frequently has pit bull mixes available for adoption who are family-friendly, gentle, and would be a welcome addition to almost any home.

Our featured pet this week is Jinx, a pit bull mix who has a gorgeous tawny coat with white

T

Jinx markings. Jinx is the perfect ambassador for his breed - he loves people and does well with other dogs, he has excellent leash manners and is very neat in his kennel. He has a funny face with his red nose and a charming personality.

Jinx loves kids and is a real social butterfly in general. When you look into his soulful eyes, itÕ s hard to believe any of the negative press this breed has encountered. Why not stop by the NCSPCA today and meet this personable fellow? You’ll be glad you did!

Benefit set for running programs, scholarship LaChute dinner at K of C Oct. 30

TICONDEROGA — A spaghetti dinner to benefit the LaChute Road Runners Club will be held Thursday, Oct. 30, at 5:30 p.m. at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus. Cost is $10.

The Ticonderoga High School boys and girls cross country teams, which will compete in the Section VII championships the next day, will be feted. Coach Jay Wells will recognize each harrier.

“We hope people will join the LRRC for our spaghetti dinner,” Tim Malaney, club president, said. “We ask your support to help us continue our work with youth running, scholarship awards and other activities, including several local races and our premier event, the Montcalm Mile. There will be great food and exciting conversation.”

The menu will include spaghetti, meatballs, tossed salad, rolls and butter. There will also be a 50-50 drawing. Proceeds will support the LaChute Road Runners’ youth running program, scholarship and the Montcalm Mile.

The LaChute Road Runners has sponsored running events for decades in Ticonderoga while raising money to support youth running. The LaChute Road Runners has financed trips for the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams, purchased equipment for the scholastic harriers, provided monetary assistance to teens attending camps and awards the annual Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. The club has awarded $13,000 in college scholarships the past 11 years.

The Montcalm Mile has become one of the regionÕ s top events.

The 28th annual race, held moments prior to the community’s Best Fourth in the North parade July 4, attracted its largest field ever in 2014 with 327 finishers and saw Sara Dunham of Plattsburgh set a new womenÕ s course record. Dunham claimed the women’s title in 4 minutes, 43.2 seconds.

In another first, $2,300 in prize money was awarded to the top five men’s and women’s finishers.

Jay Berube of Putnam Station continued a family tradition in the 2014 men’s race, winning in 4:13.2. He joins his brothers, Jesse and Lee, as Montcalm Mile winners.

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

This yearÕ s Montcalm Mile drew competitors from 17 states and three countries, although nearly half the field featured local youth runners.

“The race grows in popularity every year,” Fred Herbst, race director, said. “It started with about 30 runners and has become the largest participation event in Ticonderoga every year, now attracting top runners from around the country.

“The Montcalm Mile has grown, but remains an inclusive, family event representative of our community,” he said.

Moriah residents, town board talk beautification solutions

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MORIAH CORNERS — While Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said there has been a “huge improvement” over the past 15 years, more can be done to improve the looks around town.

Scozzafava opened a public meeting of the town board Oct. 16 by saying there has been major improvements when it comes to junked cars and junk yards in the town, but more could be done to help beautify the community. Ò Ninety percent of the property owners are good people who take care of their property,” Scozzafava said. “But there are plenty of situations that need to be addressed.”

Scozzafava said there are several considerations when dealing with properties in town.

“One issue is properties in foreclosure,” he said. “When the property is in limbo, people have moved out and the bank has yet to foreclose, then there is no one to contact. You have absentee landlords. People who do not have the means to clean up. It becomes a nightmare of logistics on keeping track of these laws.

You can’t do selective enforcement because it doesn’t work and it’s not fair.”

Code enforcement officer Richard Lapier said the process to deal with a code violation starts with a complaint, which must be signed by the person with an issue.

“I’ll see if we can solve it without writing up a violation, but some times we have to,” Lapier said. “A violation gives the property owners a certain amount of time. If it is not done, an appearance ticket gets issued and that means going to court.”

“Apartments are a huge, huge problem with this when it comes to absentee landlords,” Scozzafava added, stating his long-running belief the Department of Social Services should coordinate apartment inspections with the town before allowing

Emery Continued from page 1 They all got in line and walked out like nothing had happened. They have taken the things they have learned over the years about fire safety and knew how to act.”

“I’ve always paid attention in the drills and during the fire prevention talks, but it has a different meaning now,” Tausinger said.

“Bill has been doing this for years and he does a very good job getting across the importance of fire safety to our students,” Larrow said.

Along with the firefighter helmet, which Trybendis said was, “the real deal,” and signed by all of the responding firefighters to the Sept. 26 incident, Tausinger also received plaques honoring him for his acts.

“I was excited and nervous when they called my name,” he said. “I didn’t know what was going on at first.”

Case closed

Larrow said the investigation into the fire had been completed, and appropriate actions had been taken. Ò A letter was sent home to the parents in the district notifying them what the investigation had found,” Larrow said, but would not comment further given the sensitivity of the issue.

tenants to move in.

“If the county calls us first and we can go in and if we see no issues, we will give a certificate of occupancy. If there are issues, then we don’t. We have seen places people should not be living in, especially children.”

Resident Barbara Baker asked if people were skirting the law

because they knew very few code enforcement cases ever went to court.

“Most comply before that point,” Scozzafava said. “Very few go to court.”

Linda Smythe asked why the code enforcement officer was only a part time position.

“I think we all are here because we are dreaming things will get better,” she said.

“Honestly, code enforcement should be one responsibility and there should be another position for inspection and cleanup,” Scozzafava said. Ò It is possible we could go to a full time position if the town and village were to share a code enforcement officer.”

Gail Pilger asked if the board felt the town was utilizing the inmates from the Mineville Correctional Facility enough. Scozzafava said the inmates are being used to aid in roadside cleanups, cemetery work and brush cutting, but he felt there was a lot more they could be used for.

Lapier said the issue was not a matter of the inmates being under-used by the town, but over-used by other places. Ò They are going further south now because of the other facilities that have been closed,” he said.

“We have put in for them three to four times per week, but we are lucky if we get them for one,” councilman Paul Salerno said.

George Pilger asked the town board what they felt was needed to help improve the town.

“People have to fix their own property,” councilman Tom Anderson said. “It falls into taking pride in your appearance. It is a hard thing to regulate and I don’t like government telling people what to do.”

“There’s garbage just left on the sides of the roads and bags falling out of vehicles and not being picked up for days,” councilwoman Luci Carpenter said. “People just need to take the responsibility to clean up after themselves.”

“We have to realize it is every town around here,’ councilman Tim Garrison said. Ò This is a community issue which this town board or any board is not going to fix. We need to work as a community, neighbor talking to neighbor and helping.”

Salerno offered the idea of a suggestion box at the town hall for people who either did not attend the meeting or did not want to comment publicly but had ideas.

The public meeting, held as the second in a series of public hearings, dealt with the issue Scozzafava said was the most discussed during and after the first public meeting held in August.

Benefit planned for former Moriah student, Ti teacher

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A benefit will be held Sunday, Nov. 2, in Saratoga for a former member of the Moriah and Ticonderoga communities who suffered a devastating accident recently.

A benefit breakfast will be held at the Saratoga Elks Lodge from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. that day, with proceeds going to benefit Mike Shpur, a Moriah Central School alum and former teacher at Ticonderoga Central School.

According to wife Cindy Shpur, her husband suffered the accident June 21 when getting out of bed.

“He blacked out, hit his head and suffered a spinal cord injury that broke his back,” she said. “He has been working extensively at Sunny View rehab since July 24.”

Shpur was a member of the football, basketball and golf teams at Moriah, where he met his wife and graduated from in 1974.

After working as the gifted and talented program teacher at Ticonderoga Central School, as well as serving as the junior varsity boys basketball coach, Shpur spent the next 25 years as a golf professional, a sport he excelled in while playing for Plattsburgh State University, where he made the national tournament all four years.

Funds from the event will go toward equipment to help Shpur stay active despite his condition. Ò The funds will go toward medical technology that he is going to need to be independent,” Cindy said. “There are robotic arms that he will be able to use as well as Eye Gaze technology which will allow him to do stuff by using his eyes.”

Along with the Saratoga fundraiser, there is also a fundraising page on the website Go Fund Me. For more information, contact Jill Shpur at 942-5250.

Third Annual Nashville in North Creek concerts planned

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — For the third year, Jennifer Gadway is calling for some southern sunshine in North Creek’s cold November.

The Nashville in North Creek weekend of Nov. 7-8 is set for the concert series that brings top-notch, Nashville twang to the Copperfield Inn. Gadway, bartender at Trapper’s and a member of the band “Dogtown Cadillac,” has country music running through her veins. Gadway has met and performed with the likes of Chase Rice, Shooter Jennings and Frank Foster. She has some Tennessee blood pumping in her New York heart and knows that she isn’t the only huge country fan in the Adirondacks.

Three years ago, she created Nashville in North Creek to show the area what the famous Tennessee town is all about.

“Everyone here is such a big country fan,” said Gadway. Ò ThereÕ s no access to country in the immediate area.”

Gadway brings notable performers to the Copperfield Inn in order to create a, “haven for writers, kind of like a mecca.”

Every year, Gadway rallies hard-hitting performers to the event, giving folks in the Adirondacks a taste of the country music lifestyle she holds so close to her heart. Gadway, a native of Schroon Lake, doesn’t think people should have to leave their roots to follow their dreams and that is the driving force behind the concert

Dave Gibson will be one of the acts at the third annual Nashville in North Creek music Festival Nov. 7-8.

series.

“I’m bringing what I’m chasing here,” said the country performer. “This is the beauty of it, this is what I love and where I want to be.”

Gadway doesn’t just pick acts who would be entertaining, she gathers up the cream of the crop. For the past two years, the Mulch Brothers, whose song, “Steal You Away,” was featured in the hit move “Country Strong,” with Gwenyth Paltrow and Daryl Wayne Dasher

have taken the stage at the Copperfield Inn, and they will entertain locals again in this yearÕ s installment of the concert series.

In addition to the returning acts, songwriters Mike Dekle, performing Friday, and Dave Gibson, performing Saturday, will serenade guests with the comforting sounds of country classics that resonate with many in the area.

Both performers are no strangers to fame and have written songs for some of the big-

gest names in country music. Dekle has written for Kenny Rogers, Tracy Byrd and Joe Nichols, while Gibson has worked with the likes of Joe Diffie, Montgomery Gentry and Confederate Railroad.

Gadway thinks that this concert works two ways. Ò Our community is getting the opportunity to listen to award winning musicians and the performers get a chance to see parts of the country they never have visited, getting a new listening base at the same time,” she said.

Randy Owen of the band Alabama once told Gadway, “I love the Adirondack Park, the only difference from home is geography, we are all the same type of people.”

This exclusive concert series hopes to give locals a look inside some notorious Nashville spots. Gadway wants the audience to experience, “the big Broadway fun of Nashville,” with a lively party vibe and then contrast that with the famous “Bluebird Cafe” feel of dim lighting and an intimate setting where songwriters will tell stories about their lyrics and where their inspiration came from.

“It’s going to be a big party, there may even be some surprise duets,” said Gadway. “Every year is just keeps getting better and better.”

Tickets for Nashville in North Creek are on sale now for $20 and will be $25 at the door.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. both nights opening with Dogtown Cadillac. Rooms at the Copperfield Inn have been discounted to $109 a night and can be reserved now for the nights of Nov. 7 and Nov. 8.

Beware of moose on Adirondack roadways this fall

Seventh graders John Ladeau and Ross Thomas work on a project involving their shoes during art class at Crown Point Central School.

Photo by Keith Lobdell

RAY BROOK — Motorists should be alert for moose on roadways in the Adirondacks and surrounding areas at this time of year - a peak of moose activity - warns the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

Early fall is the breeding season for moose in northern New York. During this time moose are wandering looking for mates, leading them to areas where they are not typically seen. While this improves the opportunities for people to enjoy sighting of a moose, it also increases the danger of colliding with one on the roadway.

Moose are much larger and taller than deer.

Their large body causes greater damage, and, when struck, their height often causes them to impact the windshield of a car or pickup truck, not just the front of the vehicle. Last year ten moose vehicle accidents were reported in New York. However, there has not been a human fatality from an accident with a moose, a record DEC hopes to retain.

October 25, 2014 Moose are most active at dawn and dusk, which are times of poor visibility. Moose are especially difficult to see at night because of their dark brown to black coloring and their height - which puts their head and much of their body above vehicle headlights.

DEC advises motorists to take the following precautions to prevent moose vehicle collisions: •Use extreme caution when driving at dawn or dusk, especially during September and October; •Reduce your speed, stay alert, and watch the roadsides; •Slow down when approaching moose standing near the roadside, as they may bolt at the last minute when a car comes closer, often running into the road; •Moose may travel in pairs or small groups, so if a moose is spotted crossing the road, be alert for others that may follow; •Make sure all vehicle occupants wear seatbelts and children are properly restrained in child safety seats; •Use flashers or a headlight signal to warn other drivers when moose are spotted near the road.

Crown Point asks community for help in water system improvement and restoration

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — At an Oct. 15 town board meeting at Crown Point Central School, a presentation was given regarding the townÕ s water system.

In April, the town hired AES Northeast, an engineering and land surverying firm, to strategize a plan that would fix the problems with the water infrastructure. In order to move forward with the proposed plan, Crown Point is asking its residents to fill out household income surveys so the town can qualify for grants.

Based on an old survey, the town of Crown Point is estimated as having a median income of $52,000 per household. Supervisor Charles Harrington, along with other team members working the project, have reason to believe these estimates are wrong and are asking town residents to help correct it. The only way to disprove the figure is if all members of the community participate in the initiative.

Recently, 510 surveys were mailed out asking community members to list their household income and send them back to the town hall. After recording the numbers and giving residents a, “customer tracking number,” the surveys will be shredded so no personal information is leaked.

Harrington and Michael Mascarenas, the Essex County deputy manager who was brought on board for the project, believe the actual median lies somewhere in the $30,000 range which would qualify Crown Point for grants. When a survey was

conducted in Ticonderoga, the average income was determined to be $32,000 which Mascarenas said should be comparable to residents in Crown Point.

The water mains needed to be repaired and restored in order to protect the health of the public.

“In order for our economy to grow and prosper, we must have adequate infrastructure. Water is one of the most important commodities for our survival,” Harrington said.

Todd Hodgson, an engineer from AES Northeast, took the mic next, breaking down the steps that the project would entail and detailing the costs of restoration. Hodgson showed a glance at the townÕ s water system from the 1890’s, to today, and into the year 2020. In his professional opinion, Hodgson believes that it would be in Crown PointÕ s best interest to address each issue the system is currently facing, and tackle all of the problems at once.

“It doesn’t take much to impact these mains,” said Hodgson. “When pressure spikes, water main breaks are likely to occur, as I’m sure you all know about here in Crown Point.”

The engineer listed various parts of the system that need to be repaired, some he called severe (like the pressure problems in a lot of the water mains) while others he said needed to be addressed but were less of a priority (like the poor pipe conditions).

Hodgson showed the 15 people in attendance pictures of the townÕ s water mains of which many revealed shocking issues. Some of the mains had water spraying out of several parts of the pipes which Hodgson attributes to too high of pressure

and malfunctioning pressure reducing valves.

AES also wants to address the issues of contamination in some of Crown PointÕ s water sources.

“We have concerns for the protection of the wells,” said Hodgson. “The town has been dependent on them for years and it is some of the best water around, it is crucial to find the source of contamination.”

Hodgson’s presentation broke down the costs of each water system issue. The lowest investment for the town would be $1.5 million and would only address water main break issues. The second option is $2.5 million and would cover current main breaks and water source improvements. The third choice is $5.9 million which would solve any water system issues the town faces including current breaks, source improvement, and fire flow pressure. Hodgson said the $1.5 million option would leave little likelihood for grants, the $2.5 million would have some grant potential, but the $5.9 million project has high probabilty to receive funding. Ò This is where the income surveys are important,” said Hodgson, “The higher cost projects open up more opportunities, possibly up to $2 million in grants.”

Mascarenas stepped in to help Hodgson explain why it is vital to have the correct median income.

“Income directly correlates with service charges,” he said. “Until the numbers are accurate, you will pay more than you should be paying for water.”

Mascarenas explained that if the income median stays at $52,000, residents would be looking at $764

in service charges compared to a $33,000 income which would leave residents paying $354, over $400 less for the service.

“Unless you crack that number [$52,000] you will not qualify for federal or state subsidies,” he said.

Susan Kennedy, an engineer from the NYS Department of Health, spoke next to illustrate yet another perspective on the problem. Kennedy, who has been inspecting Crown PointÕ s water mains since 1990, insisted that this project is a neccessity for Crown Point.

“This is what the Health Department is looking for and this is what Crown Point MUST DO,” she said sternly. “The mains are in horrific condition.

You’re paying a lot more than you should have to.”

The inspector spoke without any qualms, making sure those in attendance realized how pressing this issue really is. “We will be working together to develop a project that will stand the test of time.”

Harrington said after all the numbers are taken out of the picture, after the technicalities are removed, it just comes down to having water. He urged those in attendance to picture their lives without water for a week, comparing the high costs we pay for television and internet next to the low month-to-month cost of water.

“We do not realize the value of water in our lives because we have never had to go without it,” Harrington said. Ò One of these days it may not be a simple break, what if the main on Main Street becomes completely dysfunctional? We have to reassess the whole picture, it is reality.”

PLATTSBURGH — While Ticonderoga used their usual running attack to roll past Plattsburgh High Oct. 17, they exploded onto the scoreboard very early en route to a 43-6 victory.

After Kaleb Wiktorko recovered a forced fumble on the first play of the game from scrimmage, Garrison Hughes connected with Ryan Trudeau for a 31-yard touchdown pass to give the Sentinels a 7-0 lead 24 seconds into the game.

Hughes completed his first two passes for 53 yards while finishing 6-of-12 for 109 yards and two scoring throws, the second going to Brody Rocque for 19 yards in the second quarter. Hughes also ran the ball five times for 93 yards and two touchdowns, a 26 yard score in the second and 18 yard run to cap off a 10 play drive to open the second half.

Trudeau excelled on both sides of the ball, catching a pair of passes for 52 yards and running for eight yards. Defensively, Trudeau was involved in 2.0 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, a tipped pass, a forced fumble and an interception.

“We came out with a lot of intensity and improved on it throughout the game,” Trudeau said.

Devin Alkinburgh added three tipped passes at the line, one which appeared to be a backwards pass but was ruled dead by the officials. He also recorded one sack of PHS quarterback D’Andre Lemieux.

“We have worked on our speed off the line all week,” Alkinburgh said. “We knew the short pass play (PHS) runs and we worked on jumping that. Coach had us well prepared.”

“We have been sharp on defense, something that has improved every week,” head coach Scott Nephew said. Ò You are always happy with a win, but I also feel we were not as sharp as we usually are.”

On the offensive side of the ball, Rocque caught a pair of passes for 27 yards and a score while running the ball nine times for 32 yards to go with a tackle for a loss defensively. Konner Bruce led the attack on the ground with

11 carries for 103 yards and one touchdown, while Ian Lawrie ran the ball four times for 32 yards, Cody Huestis had five carries for 29 yards and a score and Samuel DuShane two catches for 27 yards.

Defensively, Wiktorko had 1.0 tackles for loss and the opening fumble recovery. Cody Shaner had two tackles for loss with one being a sack, while Kolby Bradford had one tackle for loss, 0.5 sacks and a tipped pass that also appeared to be a backwards throw but ruled dead, Jacob Spaulding had 0.5 tackles for loss, Nick St. Denis one tackle for loss, Chase Dixon 0.5 tackles for loss, DuShane a forced fumble to gowith a sack and Domanic Banish had an interception. Banish also connected on a 25-yard field goal offensively.

Overall, the Sentinels outgained the Hornets 406-124.

Lemieux finished the game 5-of-13 throwing for 78 yards and a scoring pass of 25 yards to Riley Monahan in the fourth quarter, with Monahan finishing with two grabs for 47 yards. Lemieux also added 24 rush yards on 11 carries.

Skyler Barriere had 11 yards receiving, with Quran Carroll adding 14 total yards (12 receiving), and Jack Goldsmith 12 yards receiving.

Defensively, Monahan, Josh Rock-Vanier and Henry Sanchez each had one tackle for loss, while Dalton Harney and Sanchez each had 0.5 tackles for loss. Jack Longtin recovered a muffed punt for the Hornets.

PHS will next play in the Section VII/Class B semifinals against Beekmantown Saturday, Oct. 25, while the Sentinels will play a Section VII/X crossover game at Malone.

“We have got a lot of stuff we have to improve on to up our game,” Hughes said.

“We don’t really know what we are going to be facing, but I am going to treat this as a playoff game,” Trudeau said. “We are focused on two weeks and trying to improve and get ready for that game (against Moriah Oct. 31).

“We want to keep having fewer penalties, which has been happening throughout the season,” Nephew said on what he expects against Malone. “We also want to come out with that edge we have had earlier in the year.”

Vikings rush past Patriots in preparation for St. Lawrence

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com CLINTONVILLE — With Moriah starting quarterback Adam Jaquish in street clothes due to a deep thigh bruise, the Vikings turned to their run game more than ever to pound away at the Patriots.

Rushing for three touchdowns in the first quarter, the Vikings took control and never looked back en route to a 42-6 convincing victory over the Patriots.

Troy Welch ran for all three first quarter scores through holes that Noah Gilbo, Hayden Fernandez and others produced. That offensive line would continue making running room for seven different running backs throughout the game.

Moriah started the scoring just five minutes into the game with a Welch four-yard run. The Patriots would respond three minutes later as Quarterback William Coats would score on a four-yard keeper to tie the game 6-6. Sophomore Coats would complete passes to Chasm Perkett, Mark Whitney and Tyler Champine during the drive.

The Viking defense would take over at that point.

Gilbo would come up with sacks in key situations and the swarming defense would disrupt any Patriot drives.

Jarrod MacDougal was normally one of the prime receiving targets for the Vikings. He has 17 receptions for 246 yards with a couple of touchdowns this season.

For this game, he was called on to fill in at quarterback, contirbuting a couple of nice runs as well as two second quarter touchdown passes. His first would go to sophomore Brandon Hammond for 40 yards to open up the second quarter scoring. nine minutes later he would hit Taylor Slattery for a 22yard scoring strike. By halftime Moriah was firmly in control with a 36-6 lead.

Coach Don Tesar would use the second half to showcase the rest of his run game. Malik Tromblee would carry most of the load, accumulating 71 yards on 13 carries. Noah Gilbo would stop making holes for other running backs long enough to run through some himself, including a four-yard touchdown run.

GilboÕ s touchdown would be the only scoring of the second half.

For the Patriots, Coats would continue to try to make plays, but a relentless Viking defense would prove hard to overcome. Chasm Perkett was a standout for the Patriot defense as well as his receiving and punting duties. After the game assistant coach Mike Maloney was proud of his team for one reason.

“They never quit, nobody laid down,“ he said.

Ticonderoga defeats Moriah in OT, soccer sectionals begin Girls soccer

Ticonderoga 3, Moriah 2, OT

TICONDEROGA Ñ A Delany Hughes goal in the 92nd minute and an outstanding crossbar save by Lillith Ida in the 97th were enough to send the Lady Sentinels past the Lady Vikings Oct. 16.

Bailey’s golden goal lifts Ticonderoga over Seton

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga girls varsity head coach Kathy Tubbs said she was looking for a go-to offensive threat throughout the 2014 season.

She may have found it in Constance Bailey.

The senior striker has scored 11 points over her last three games, including the golden goal game-winner in the Sentinels 1-0 Section VII/Class C quarterfinals against Seton Catholic Oct. 21.

“She has gradually gained confidence throughout the season, helping her to get in the right position and she play a more physical game now,” Tubbs said.

Bailey scored the goal in the 107th minute, with less than three minutes to go before the game would have went into penalty kicks.

Kaylee Coon started the finishing play with a throw in to Savannah Bezon, who took a shot on goal that was deflected.

The ball came back to Bezon who made a move and weighed her options. Ò I was going to shoot the ball again but I saw Constance there on the far post,” Bezon said. “She has been doing good finishing for us so I looked for the cross.”

“I knew I had to put it in for my teammates,” Bailey said. “I was trying to stay out of the middle, on the far post and I was the second half to earn the victory Oct. 16.

Samuel Smith scored the opening goal of the game in the 10th minute of play before North Country scored on an Andrew LaRue penalty kick in the 33rd.

Smith would scored two of the six second half goals, unassited in the 63rd and assisted by Collin Bresnahan in the 73rd. Andrew Lintner would add a goal on an assist from Andrew Peley in the 63rd and an unassisted tally in the 66th. Bryant Mieras scored on a assist from Brianna Mieras in the 78th minute, while Carrie Bresnahan scored on a Corine Pelkey assist in the 79th.

Chris Bresnahan made 14 saves in the win.

looking for the cross.”

Bailey said passing, not her alone, has been the key to the Sentinel success which has seen them earn a pair of wins against Ticonderoga with a Moriah win sandwiched in between.

“We have been passing the ball better at the end of the season and it has paid off,” she said. “I feel that we are really learning how to play the game.”

Ticonderoga had the only two shots in the golden goal overtimes, with Kelli Ryan making one of her eight total saves in the game. Ryan made her first start of the season in net in the sectional quarterfinals, replacing keeper Elizabeth Thomas, who started every regular season game.

Lillith Ida made five saves for the Sentinels, four in the first half and not being called on again until the 95th minute of the second 10-minute overtime.

Ticonderoga will next play Class C top seed Northern Adirondack Thursday, Oct. 23, 5 p.m. in the semifinal round of the Section VII tournament.

“We have to practice shooting because we have had chances against NAC but have not been able to put the ball in the net,” Bezon.

“We need to continue to work on putting the ball in the net,” Tubbs said. “We are doing an okay job getting offensive opportunities, but they have not been quality. We also need to work on our defensive communication.”

Naomi Forkas led the Lady Sentinels finishing 4th overall with a time of 21:05, while Sierra Stacy finished 11th with a time of 24:33.

The Sentinels hope to improve as they prepare to finish out their season succesfully at the CVAC meet and Sectionals.

I

Off to the woods

went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to confront only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not livedÓ - Henry David Thoreau Thoreau, best known as a philosopher, was also an avid woodland wanderer. At the time he was traveling through the forests of New England, such travelers were known as tramps, a slang term that described, “travelers that went camping.”

Tramping was the equivalent of backpacking, and it was a popular pursuit for nearly a century prior to the development of such standard equipment as Kelty Backpacks, Dunham Wafflestompers, Svea stoves, or eureka, self-standing tents.

According to journals of the day, the only equipment a tramp required was a “sachel, walking stick, stout pair of boots and a fondness for the open country.”

Fortunately, plenty of modern day tramps are still around and there remain innumerable places for them to wander about, especially in the Adirondack region.

Currently, the local forests are being shared by a variety of users, ranging from late season hikers to big game hunters and a host of “schroomers” out looking for a late flush of mushrooms.

As the season wears on, hunters will slowly become the majority among the various woodland wanderers. All travelers at this time of year should be sure to dress for the season which brings cooler weather and shorter days. Warmer clothing, stout boots and bright garb should be the fashion for late season outings.

The coming weekend signals the arrival of the Regular Big Game Hunting Season, and all woodland travelers should adjust their outings accordingly to avoid the inevitable conflicts.

In general, hunters and hikers tend to get along quite well. In most sections of the big woods, hunters tend to stay “off trail” in their efforts to find game. Conversely, hikers tend to stay on trail in an effort to get to where they are going and to avoid conflicts.

For the most part, hunter/hiker conflicts are relatively easy to avoid, especially if both parties exhibit the proper respect for both the land, the game and each other.

If by chance a hiker happens upon a hunter, it is important to make your presence known. This doesn’t require a lot of yelling and hollering, when just a simple nod or tip of the hat will do.

Conversely, hunters should plan their travels so as not to cross paths with hikers. Often, it is unavoidable, and in such cases each group should offer a simple nod of recognition and be on their way. Treat every gun as if it were loaded at all times.

In such situations, it is important hold your firearm in a nonthreatening manner especially if approached by other hunters, or a Conservation Officers.

Hunters should always be aware of other users, and plan their routes accordingly. This is especially important where it comes to a choice of where to set up “on watch,” place a tree stand or plan a drive.

Hunting parties that prefer to hunt with watchers and drivers would be wise to utilize territory that does not encompass marked hiking or biking trails.

Although such terrain may appear inviting, there are so many

other productive areas to hunt that it simply doesn’t make sense to risk an incident that could ruin everyoneÕ s day.

In their ongoing efforts to locate prime hunting areas, many hunters fail to consider two of the most efficient recreatioanal tools available-bikes and boats.

A few years ago, I crossed paths with a Paul Smiths College student who was regularly hunting in the woods surrounding the Slush Pond, Mountain Pond, Hayes Brook area.

He used a mountain bike to gain quick, easy and efficient access to some truly remote areas. He had attached a scabbard to the bike’s handlebars to hold his rifle.

After finishing up with his classes, he would ride off to the hunt. He explained that the bike did not seem to disturb deer as much as a heavy-footed hiker. It also allowed him to get into the deep woods quickly and quietly without working up a sweat.

He carried his hunting clothes in a scent free bag and would change into hunting garb before climbing into the tree stand.

Considering the wide assortment of mountain biking opportunities available throughout the region, it’s rather surprising there aren’t a lot more hunters taking advantage of this untapped hunting tool.

Possibly the single most overlooked hunting areas are sections of woods that require water access such as remote points of land, islands or even the opposite side of a river, stream, pond or lake.

Not all hunters are lazy, but many of them are and they typically prefer to stick to familiar territory. It’s totally understandable; as we all tend to gravitate to terrain that’s familiar and hospitable.

Sometimes it pays off to wander into to such unknown, and untapped lands where other hunters rarely travel.

It can be as easy as taking a motorboat up the lake, a canoe down the river or wearing a pair of waders to get across a river or a bog. Deer prefer to hang out in places where humans donÕ tÕ go. If you can access those places, you’ll likely find deer.

If you do happen to be successful, dress out your animal and transport it with dignity. Understand that not everyone hunts, and some people actually find the idea atrocious. It doesn’t mean we should stop hunting, but rather we should exercise a bit of discretion when handling and transporting the carcass of a kill.

It only takes one sour hunter to spoil the reputation of all of us, and bad news travels faster and farther than good news.

Use common sense and be respectful to all. Not everything that is prohibited or rude is expressly against the law; but by being accommodating to other hunters, hikers or landowners you can make a difference between an enjoyable experience and a wasted day.

Dam Nation movie

October 25, 2014

A

few months ago I wrote about the impact that dams have on fish migration. Since that time the Willsboro Dam has been under some intense scrutiny to have it removed. A plan is in place for its removal, and now it all boils down to money.

If you are curious about how and what a dam does

By Rich Redman and doesn’t do for trout, steelhead, and salmon, come and check out a free movie called “DamNation” at Plattsburgh State University.

Patagonia presents DamNation Sponsored by SUNY Plattsburgh Department of Expeditionary Studies and Trout Unlimited Oct. 29, 6 p.m.

Krinovitz Recital Hall Hawkins Hall, SUNY Plattsburgh An open discussion will follow the conclusion of movie.

For more information call Derrick Miller at 566-7079.

On behalf of the Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout Unlimited.

A precious resource in the Champlain Valley awaits a return to glory. Over 200 years ago, here in Plattsburgh, a prolific population of Land Locked Salmon annually inundated the Saranac River to spawn in their historical quarry. Since this time, man-made barriers, in the form of dams, have obstructed passage of migrating fish, diminishing the range of spawning habitat, thereby depleting populations. Imperial Dam obstructs 10 miles of prime spawning habitat.

Imperial Dam is serving no positive purpose. Rebuilt in 1903, the dam once provided hydroelectric power to the long defunct Imperial Wallpaper Mill. Refurbishing the hydroelectric capability is not cost effective. The dam is not protecting life and property as it does not regulate flow. In fact, it presents a potentially disastrous hazard, as Irene has pronounced a “New Normal.” Finally, the dam does not provide recreational opportunities. The river is obstructed to recreational boating. Imperial Dam obstructs 10 miles of prime and sustainable Land Locked Salmon spawning habitat.

For over 20 years veteran members of the Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout Unlimited have been anxiously awaiting the restoration of our fishery. The salmon have been waiting for over 200 years. Our Chapter is co-sponsoring the free public viewing of the “DamNation” documentary in order to raise awareness of our local concern.

Trout Unlimited’s mission is to Protect, Connect, and Restore our cold water fisheries. Trout Unlimited is a non-profit organization. TU was founded in 1959 has 150,000 members nationwide among 400 local chapters.

Memberships will be available at the showing if you would like to become a Trout Unlimited member.
