Essex Industries celebrates 40 years

HONORING VETERANS

This Week TICONDEROGA

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

MINEVILLE — A company which began 40 years ago with the goal to help people find work while providing quality production celebrated the past four decades Nov. 5 in Mineville.

Essex Industries, which is operated through Mountain Lake Services, invited the community into its Pilfisher Road site to show off their work and workers. It focuses on producing high-end canoe seats and canoe accessories, cedar picnic tables, camp stools, novelty cutting boards and pizza peels, with annual contract sales of approximately $1 million with customers from around the globe.

“You can see how things have progressed,” MLS Executive Director Marty Nephew said. “We started with clothes-pin ducks up to folding canoe chairs and the other products we make now. We have sold items to L.L. Bean and many other national and international retailers. The folks take a lot of pride in the work they do and this work goes all over the world. This is a big day for all of them.”

“It’s an amazing opportunity to show off the quality and witness what goes into our products,” Essex Industries Director Lisa Sheldon said.

VFW honors Charles “Gusher” Smith for 67 years of service

By Maggie Morgan maggie@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ On Nov. 8, the American Legion was flooding with people who gathered to celebrate Charles “Gusher” Smith.

Smith, whose name is one of the 92 that appear on the original VFW charter dating back to 1947, was in great spirits as he reflected back on the years he has spent serving the community.

Nov. 11 was not only Veteran’s Day, but Gusher’s birthday as well. At 94, the Navy veteran doesn’t miss a beat. The Ticonderoga born-and-bred Smith

went around the room, personally thanking each and every guest in attendance.

Dawn Millington, president of the auxillary, said this wasn’t out of the ordinary for the man.

“Whenever I go over to his house, he ends up a little teary eyed,” said Dawn. “He is crying happy tears, because he loves to talk about his past and how appreciative he is. There needs to be more people like Gusher.”

Before a buffet dinner was served to guests, both the VFW and town of Ticonderoga had a few things to say about Smith. The VFW presented Smith with an appreciation award that was beautifully dis-

played on a wooden plaque. The town pronounced Nov. 11, “Charles ‘Gusher’ Smith Day,” and gave the man a plated declaration to commemorate the his day.

Nancy Paquette, the Jr. Vice Commander of the VFW who took over for Gusher in 2004, detailed the veteran’s background and explained that his heart has always been dedicated to Ticonderoga and its residents. As Paquette gestured towards the guest of honor and prompted him to answer a few questions, the man quickly looked up from his plate.

alive and the guests on their feet.

CPR’s Holiday Train provides a corporate contribution to the local food banks along their 150 community trail, and in turn each community is encouraged to donate to the cause either monetarily or with food. All proceeds from a specific stop will be given exclusively to people of that community.

The fact that these donations will remain in the town, they are raised in is not only important but extremely rewarding. Those in attendance are helping their friends, family, neighbors and even strangers in their region have a little less stress this holiday season.

On Nov. 29, the train will make local stops at the Fort Edward Amtrak Station at 12:30 p.m.; the Ticonderoga Pell’s crossing Amtrak waiting area, Route 74 (Fort Ti Rd) at 3 p.m.; the Port Henry Amtrak Station at 4:45 p.m.; and the Plattsburgh Amtrak Station at 7:15 p.m.

For more information or to make a donation visit cpr.ca/en/ community/holiday-train.

The traveling food bank doubles as a Christmas tree in motion with an array of brightly colored lights decorating each boxcar.

Vote third party

emocrats received a shellacking last week in a wave election that saw Republicans rack up their highest numbers in the House of Representatives since the 1920s. They took over the Senate, a first since 2006, and seized a record number of state legislatures and governor’s

mansions.

It’s morning again in America and the sun is blood-red.

We’ll spare you the tripe about healing and working together for a better tomorrow.

But we will pose a thought experiment.

After you finish reading this column, tear it out and file it away.

Pull it out 16 months from now when the political machine is back in full swing.

We’re guessing you won’t be any better off than you are today.

Voters reduced Democrats to smoldering rubble last week not because of an ideological kinship with Republicans, who presented no uniform economic plan of their own, but rather out of disgust with government dysfunction and executive incompetence.

Thirty-four percent of voters, to cite an ABC News exit poll, said they were voting in opposition of President Obama, while 61 percent expressed dissatisfaction with Republican congressional leaders.

With the GOP set to control both legislative chambers, and with a president who has agreed to work with them to find common ground, Republicans have now been handed the keys to the economy.

They say they will use this political capital to pass the legislation stalled by partisan gridlock.

This includes resurrecting the Keystone pipeline, dusting off a series of moribund jobs bills and repealing some of the most unsavory elements of the Affordable Care Act, like the tax on medical device manufacturers.

Republicans have also said they will work to reform the corporate tax code to make the country more competitive for business; they say they will kill tax inversions (the relocation of businesses to different countries) and roll back energy regulations, namely when it comes to regulating carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants.

All of this, they claim, will push the economy in the right direction.

But none of the above will be enough to stimulate wage growth and tackle the top issue hindering economic recovery for the people reading this newspaper: Stagflation.

Inflation-adjusted incomes for the middle class have not gone up since 1999, while inflation has increased 25 percent during the same period.

Income gains have overwhelmingly gone to the richest Americans, not regular folks.

What’s the antidote?

While the formula is tricky, recovery will only come, in part, once more cash is injected into working class wallets through measures like raising the minimum wage and significantly increasing federal spending on infrastructure projects.

In his victory speech, presumptive Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised things will be different.

“Just because we have a two-party system doesn’t mean we have to be in perpetual conflict,” he said.

We disagree. This system is the root of all conflict.

Democrats will likely try to block most GOP economic initiatives to deny them victories ahead of 2016, just like what the Republicans, fueled by obstructionist Tea Party rhetoric, have been doing for the past six years.

The American political system is rigged; this election was a farce and middle class voters are the pawns.

America’s two-party system has mutated to a perverted game of political hardball.

Both count on voters growing frustrated every election cycle and switching back and forth out of a sense of helpless frustration — or, better yet, not voting at all, the first step in a lifetime of political apathy that benefits both parties.

Last week saw the lowest turnout in any election since 1940.

Only 36.6 percent of eligible voters turned out. In New York, that number dropped to 29.5 percent (but rose to 46 percent in NY21).

Letters to the Editor

Voting denied?

To the Times of Ti: Voting is an important right, many would say also an obligation. The results of the last election with a very low turnout indicate very few people understand the obligation part of voting.

Less than 31 percent of the eligible voting population in New York State made the effort to turn out or even vote absentee in the last election.

News reports have been full of accusations about efforts to suppress the vote particularly in southern states but not exclusively. The results are not yet in on how successful those attempts to suppress the vote have been. However in our own Essex County the institution of a policy to keep voters uninformed has clearly suppressed the vote in this district.

According to the Essex County Commissioner of elections all poll workers were instructed not to say anything about the fact that it is necessary to vote on two sides of the ballot in the recent election. The Commissioner suggested that informing people about the propositions was a form of electioneering. One side contains the candidates the other side this year contained three propositions. While not highly publicized one of the propositions may have a profound effect on the procedure for redistricting in the state of New York.

As a result of the strictly enforced policy not to alert voters to a two-sided ballot Essex County has one of the highest reported cases of blank ballots on the proposition side in the state. On proposition 1 30 percent of the ballots were blank. On the candidates side of the ballot almost no ballots were blank and only a few were spoiled. By contrast Madison, Seneca, Schoharie, and Wayne counties all had only 11 percent or less of their ballots blank on the proposition side. The mean for all counties in the state was 17.4 percent of ballots with no vote for the propositions. The only counties in the state with higher percentages of blank ballots than Essex were Bronx, Kings, and Queens all in New York City.

While admittedly unscientific I have surveyed a number of friends and acquaintances throughout the state. Except for people voting absentee all of those people outside of Essex County surveyed reported that the poll worker advised them to look at both sides of the ballot.

Tom Conley in the public information office of the state board of elections and after conferring with colleagues in that office said there were no regulations prohibiting poll workers from telling voters that the ballot was two sided.

Democratic Commissioner Mark Whitney defended the policy of not verbally advising voters at the poll and questioned if the wide difference among counties was a direct result of the Essex County regulations.

The only conclusion, I believe, that can be drawn from these dramatic differences among counties upstate is that the way of informing voters about two sided ballots is practiced unevenly.

This inconsistent application of policy has the effect of disenfranchising those counties where it is rigidly enforced. It stretches the

Editorial From page 6 It seems like the $4 billion spent in this election cycle had its intended result, like those high-frequency blasts used to clear protesters at riots.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Your vote should be constructive rather than punitive.

Considering the first half of this decade has seen activists fighting for democracy across the world — in Hong Kong, student protesters have been grinding it out for the past seven weeks, while people in Ukraine in the Middle East have been subjected to unspeakable atrocities — America, quite frankly, should be ashamed of herself.

We all bear responsibility. After all, most of us aren’t activists and have to work for a living, leaving little time for political analysis.

But when this circus roars back to life in the next year-or-so — or earlier, considering how America is now engaged in a permanent campaign — ask yourself a simple question: “Am I better off?”

If not, then the choice is simple: Vote for a third party candidate.

You’ve got nothing to lose — or at very least, nothing to gain from the continuation of the status quo.

According to Gallup, 58 percent of Americans say a third political party is needed because Republicans and Democrats “do such a poor job” of representing the American people.

None of this is to say that Democrat and Republican policies are uniformly harmful — both have some bright spots — but rather they’re just caught in a poisonous quicksand in a duopoly that can no longer be trusted with governance.

The next legislative sessions will bring no quick fixes, no fresh new ideas. Nothing will change.

What did we learn from this?

It’s time to break the cycle. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

imagination to see how helping people understand that the ballot is two-sided could possibly be construed as a form of swaying their votes or electioneering.

I encourage the Essex County Board of Elections to reverse this policy and do everything in its power to see that all of our citizens are encouraged to vote and vote on all the offices and all the issues abstaining only when they wish to do so.

Common Sense Party To the times of Ti: Jeff MacMakin from Putnam was stating flat fact about our “Democracy was taken over unlawfully on a Christmas Eve” but not in 1923 — it was in 1913. [Readers] should join me in creating a Common Sense Party … nationwide.

In 1913, Congress, without a proper quorum, passed the illegal, unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. Congressmen were bribed, blackmailed and coerced to vote for this unconstitutional, blatantly-illegal perversion on Christmas Eve without even a required quorum.

This means that the Federal Reserve Act was never legitimately passed in 1913. There already is one Common Sense Party in Clinton County where if anyone ran on the party, it would be listed on the ballot, provide candidates the required number of signatures from votes they have been to see and help his cause to change, finally and forever, plutocracy-run government and economy.

I also invite Dan Alexander, the Denton staff, and its readers to help shape the party’s principles.

My first one is no document, image, record or other form of information about what the government acquires should be “classified” in any manner that remains hidden from public view more than 10 years for National Security. Embarrassment about an “op” is not cause for classifying something per “National Security” it is because of the so many secrets that we are in the mess we are in nationally and worldwide.

Agrees with editorial To the Times of Ti: Brittany Maynard is a brave young person. The choices she made were personal choices that no one else has the right to judge. Too bad she had to move to another state in order to exercise that choice. We all should be afforded the right to die with dignity.

Be a Leader in Your Community To the Times of Ti: One of the qualities of leadership is having a sense of purpose that directs a person to use his or her strengths to help others. If you are interested in becoming a leader in your community, consider supporting the United Way at the Leadership level. Leadership Giving affords you the opportunity to be part of something much greater than any of us can achieve alone. Last year, leadership giving amounted to almost 23 percent of the funds raised.

Leadership giving brings with it the great satisfaction of helping those who are struggling in our community. It is also your chance to be part of the solution, to connect and be recognized with others who share your commitment to doing more.

Leadership can be done through a one-time donation or payroll deduction. Your gift of $500 or more, given directly to United Way of the Adirondack Region, will make a significant impact in your community. Leadership giving is possible for as little as $10 per week. You can also reach a leadership level by combining gifts with a partner or spouse at another workplace. Donations can also be made anonymously.

Your donation supports 41 essential programs in your community, such as Hospice of the North Country and Life Flight.

Last year over 80,000 lives were touched by programs supported by the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. The money raised here, stays here. To support programs and services in your area, call the United Way today at 563-0028 and ask how you can become a Leadership Giver.

“When Men and Mountains Meet” by Glenn L. Pearsall explains how enterprising European tradesmen sought to settle and develop businesses in newly discovered Adirondack Mountains and why they failed.

“Tahawus Memories” by Leonard A. Gereau is an account of a “mini-municipality” deep in the Adirondack woods that flourished for over 20 years as told by persons who lived there and then disappeared like an Adirondack mountain morning mist.

“Just Everyday Folks” by L.R.

State announces grants for business development around former Finch lands TICONDEROGA — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced $500,000 in grants will be awarded to communities in the Adirondacks to enhance business development and access to the State’s newly-acquired former Finch, Pruyn & Co. lands.

The Adirondack Park Upper Hudson Recreation Hub grants, provided by The Nature Conservancy, will be used to fund nine projects that increase tourism opportunities, support small business growth and expand recreational offerings, strengthening the region’s local economy and supporting jobs.

“Preserving the wilderness of the Adirondacks while promoting access and growth within the region is a generational legacy that continues today,” Cuomo said. “These projects will make it easier for visitors to hike, fish, hunt and enjoy the unparalleled landscape of the Adirondacks, while boosting communities’ economies all across the region. I thank The Nature Conservancy for their important and continued support of the Adirondacks and New York State.”

The Adirondack Park Upper Hudson Recreation Hub grants support business-oriented community development projects ranging from equipping a new guide service in Newcomb and inflatable kayak trips on the Upper Hudson River, to establishing equestrian staging areas in North Hudson and Long Lake. To promote emerging opportunities for recreation and tourism-related businesses in the area, Essex County will establish a microenterprise grant program using a portion of the grant funding.

The Nature Conservancy acquired the former Finch lands in 2007. To protect the land for future generations, Governor Cuomo announced in 2012 that the State had reached an agreement with The Nature Conservancy to acquire 69,000 acres of the lands and other The Nature Conservancy holdings over a five-year period.

The Adirondack Park Upper Hudson Recreation Hub Grants are administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the New York Natural Heritage Trust.

The grants include: •$100,000 to the Town of Newcomb for equipment to be used by a local guide service, Newcomb Guides Service LLC, to provide a shuttle service and guided fishing, hunting, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, camping and canoe/

kayak trips into the backcountry. These services would primarily be within the Essex Chain Lakes, Upper Hudson River and, in the future, Boreas Ponds.

•$30,000 to the Town of Newcomb to install horse stables at the High Peaks Kitchen and Campground that can be used by visitors to the area.

•$13,250 to the Town of Johnsburg for equipment to be used by a local guide service, North Creek Rafting Company LLC, to provide guided inflatable kayak trips on the Upper Hudson River between Newcomb and the confluence with the Indian River. This trip is suitable for beginners and is made possible by take-outs at two locations south of Newcomb – the iron bridge about seven miles from the Lake Harris put-in and the Indian River property, upstream of the confluence of the Hudson and Indian Rivers and the heavy whitewater of the Hudson Gorge.

•$356,750 to Essex County for partnership projects that leverage previous planning efforts, including the Adirondack Parkwide Recreation Strategies, Hamlets 3 and local community comprehensive plans: •Essex County Industrial Development Agency Ð Microenterprise Grant Program will provide assistance to eligible expanding or startup micro-enterprises that will serve and attract visitors to the Upper Hudson Recreation Hub. The program will offer access to capital to help businesses modernize and improve goods and services, become more sustainable and create and retain jobs.

•Town of Indian Lake - Indian Lake Core Improvements and Acquisition: grants will be used to acquire and demolish a targeted downtown building, and install water and sewer infrastructure for future development of the parcel. This will help Indian Lake enhance its downtown area by creating a development district that will have great potential for commercial, residential and cultural redevelopment, plus infrastructure and business improvements.

•Town of Long Lake - Equestrian Pole Barn and Staging Area: The grant will be used to construct an equestrian staging area at the trailhead to an existing equestrian trail, which will allow the Town of Long Lake to take advantage of expanding and new horseback riding trails and opportunities.

Fort Ticonderoga receives grant TICONDEROGA Ñ The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a grant of $169,232 to Fort Ticonderoga to host two week-long Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops for School Teachers in the summer of 2015. The workshops will focus on “The American Revolution on the Northern Frontier: Fort Ticonderoga and the Road to Saratoga.” Fort Ticonderoga was one of five institutions in New York State to receive grant funding for NEH Landmarks Workshops in 2015.

“This prestigious grant allows Fort Ticonderoga an unparalleled opportunity to play a vital part in educating and inspiring America’s youth through their teachers’ participation in this program,” said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga President and CEO. “Fort Ticonderoga is a national leader in teacher education and this program helps add to our diverse offerings and increased reach.”

“I’m really excited to welcome 72 teachers to Fort Ticonderoga next summer as part of the NEH Landmarks Workshops,” said Rich Strum, Fort Ticonderoga’s Director of Education and the NEH Project Director for the workshops in 2015. “Providing these NEH Summer Scholars with a unique learning experience combining a top-notch slate of visiting scholars and the talented staff and amazing resources at Fort Ticonderoga makes for a very memorable experience. It’s gratifying to think of the longterm impact a week like this has on teachers and their future students for years to come.”

This NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop for School Teachers will be offered twice: July 12-17, 2015 and July 26-31, 2015. There is no fee for this program and all participants receive a $1,200 stipend to help defray expenses.

Teachers wishing to earn three graduate credits during the workshop can do so through an arrangement with Castleton State College in Vermont.

Fort Ticonderoga hosted NEH Landmarks Workshops for School Teachers in 2011 and 2014 and also offers the annual Fort Ticonderoga Teacher Institute each summer. To learn more about programs for educators, visit the Fort Ticonderoga website at www.fortticonderoga.org.

Gusher Continued from page 1 “Right now I’m hungry, but then we will talk,” said Gusher.

While waiting for the man to eat his meal, it was not hard to stay busy as guests were provided with a few selections from the man’s diary. “A Sailor’s War Adventures,” was the name of the brief packet that provoked moments of shock, laughter, and spurts of tears.

If he was ever so inclined, Gusher could have a been a novelist. His stories about the four years he spent in the Navy had a flow comparable to a great work that would be hard to put down.

One particular passage detailed a memory Gusher had of serving potatoes on Christmas Day to a line of hungry sailors, an order he was given by the chief cook. The chief told Gusher, or “Smitty” as his navy friends called him, that only one scoop of potatoes was allowed per tray.

Gusher remembers that day and writes, “... one tray stops and a real tough looking guy says ‘put on another scoop.’ ‘I can’t,’ I said.

‘Put on another scoop,’ he demands. The guys in line started hollering, ‘what’s the hold up’ along with a slew of other choice words. Guess I lost my head because I reached in the pot and put a streak of mashed potatoes from the top of his head down to his belly button.”

Gusher said directly after that he had an entire tray of mashed potatoes smack in the face. The tough guy left, and Gusher was back to serving out potatoes...one scoop at a time.

He ended this part of the story with, “Merry Christmas everyone.”

Each page details some sort of experience

that Gusher had in the Navy, some terrifying and others laughable. After reading the entries, it wasn’t difficult to understand why so many people had gathered to celebrate Gusher. He has served the community for 67 years in the town he was born and raised in.

Members of the VFW and the auxillary had a lot more to say about the vet that further proved how legendary he is.

“He is one of a kind,” said Dewey Millington, member of the VFW who played a major role

in organizing the event. “We appreciate everything Gusher has done for the community and we are proud to serve him.”

Dewey and Dawn Millington thanked the American Legion for allowing the hall to be used for the event, the VFW for organizing the celebration and the Auxillary for putting on a delicious dinner.

“We appreciate everyone who came tonight and want to give a special thanks to the Country Florist,” said Dawn Millington.

For those who are wondering, don’t worryGusher hasn’t stopped working yet.

“He’s still an active member of the VFW,” Harry Treadway, VFW volunteer, said. “This summer he was out collecting cans and bottles for funds, he gets mad if we don’t call him to help.”

Adventurers of the Year visit Ti schools en route to D.C.

By Ryan Price

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — National Geographic Adventurers of the Year Amy and Dave Freeman recently visited Ticonderoga on Monday, Nov. 5 with a canoe and a mission.

The couple who has traveled through the maze of rivers in the Amazon rainforest and across the snow covered tundra of the Artic are on a three month canoe trek from Minnesota to Washington, D.C., to protect the Boundary Waters of northeastern Minnesota.

“There are two goals behind our trek,” said Dave Freeman. “First, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Wilderness Act that set aside the Boundary Waters. Secondly, we are raising awareness of the proposal of several mines within the Boundary Waters.”

These proposed mines in Minnesota plan to use sulfide mining to extract metals such as copper, lead, zinc and nickel from rocks that also contain sulfide. The releasing of this sulfide into the air and surrounding water will cause sulfuric acid to form and pollute the Boundary Waters Watershed. The pollution of the Boundary Waters Watershed could potentially lead to the pollution of the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay Watershed threatening North America’s largest water sources.

“There has never been a case in the entire world in which sulfide-ore mines do not cause water damage or pollution,”

said Freeman.

Throughout their journey, the couple has faced the challenges of weather, shortening days and timing as they visit 30 communities along their trek. The couple briefly stopped at Ticonderoga High and Middle Schools where they discussed their travels across the Western Hemisphere with students.

Students were able to learn about the Amazon and its differing habitats as well as North America and it’s wide diversity of organisms, while also having the oppurtunity to use a blow dart gun from the Amazon. The adventurers spoke about the challenges of exploring the world such as timing, humidity, blizzards and navigation.

The canoe the couple has been rowing sports over 1,000 signatures in petition to prevent sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters.

“The canoe idea came from a different conservation group called Sustainable Erie which had gathered signatures on a canoe that they planned to drive to Washington,” said Freeman. “Amy and I saw the canoe and decided that it was something that needed to be paddled to Washington.”

The couple plans to deliver the canoe to President Barrack Obama when their journey concludes in Washington, D.C. Anyone interested in joining the trek against sulfide mining may go to the couple’s website, paddletodc.org to sign to a Dave and Amy Freeman stopped in Ticonderoga as part of their canoe trip from Minnesota to Washington, D.C. petition to protect the Boundary Waters.

Bagneschi receives Educator of Excellence award TICONDEROGA — The New York State English Council presented their Secondary schools Educator of Excellence award at their annual meeting in Albany Oct. 24.

This year’s recipient of the award was Ticonderoga High School Special Education teacher Maria Bagneschi. NYSEC is the professional organization for English language educators in New York State.

Maria and her guests were invited to attend NYSEC’s conference awards luncheon at the Marriott Conference center in Albany.

Deborah Breitenbach, a beloved long time educator at Ticonderoga High School who passed away in April of this year, nominated Bagneschi for the award. Breitenbach compiled a portfolio of Maria’s accomplishment during her nineteen-year teaching career. Four letters of recommendation were also included in the nomination portfolio, written by representatives of Ticonderoga High School administration, teachers and a student of Maria’s.

Breitenbach’s nomination focused on the outstanding accomplishments of Bagneschi and her service to Ticonderoga’s students and community throughout her career. It described the many ways she goes beyond the traditional teaching day to help her students succeed, noting the long hours after the 3 p.m. bell when Senior Project papers or college essays required

writing, editing and support. Also noted in the nomination were the many foreign trips led by Maria, her willingness to advise many extracurricular clubs and her role as the master teacher, guiding and mentoring new staff in the building.

Essex Industries Continued from page 1 “A lot of people do not know what happens here so it’s a good chance to show people what we do and the skill and workmanship that goes into it.”

Essex Industries opened its doors Nov. 4, 1974, as a sheltered workshop where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn skills needed to work and live as independently as possible within their community.

They provide a wide range of vocational and prevocational training experiences and currently employ 50 individuals with disabilities and 20 non-disabled. Overall, 80-percent of employees with disabilities also receive residential support from MLS while the rest live either independently or with families.

“If these people are not here, then they are missing out on a lot they could be doing,” Nephew said.

Those in attendance were given the chance to tour through the facility, see how products are created and how machinery is adapted to help meet the needs of the employees.

Nephew said the facility hopes to continue to grow in the face of declining funding from the government.

“With funding cuts, it is a big thing we are still surviving over 40 years,” he said. “The state has a plan to stop their funding of these kinds of workshops and our goal is to keep it open through different funding revenues.”

Moriah grad seeks to be ‘King’ of regional comedy in Albany

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ALBANY — James King wants to make you laugh.

The member of the Moriah Central School class of 2011 was looking for an escape from the grind of school life during his sophomore year at the University of Albany, which led him down the path to where he is now: a finalist for the Make Me Laugh Albany competition, which will be held Saturday, Nov. 15, at the WAMC Linda Theatre in Albany.

“I joined the Sketchy Characters a week before spring break my sophomore year,” King said. “Once I joined, I fell in love with comedy and how you can grow with it.

Now that I am a senior, I am putting a lot of focus on my comedy as well as my studies.”

The Sketchy Characters comprise the UAlbany comedy troupe, specializing in impromptu, sketch and stand up comedy.

King used his training through the troupe to hone his stand up act. He also takes from his studies at college, where he majors in journalism and political sciences.

“Political science is something that is a huge avenue that can be explored,” King said. “Sometimes I will read a news story and say to myself I can turn that into a joke.”

King’s road to the Make Me Laugh Albany finals started Nov. 4, when the college and comedy troupe co-hosted a preliminary round for the competition.

“Dan Frigodelle put on the event to look for the best comedian in the Albany area,” King said. “They did events at St. Rose and other local colleges as well as local events and online. We had 11 compete with five chosen for the finals.”

King said the winner receives an immediate boost in exposure through radio and newspaper publicity as well as the chance to perform in regional comedy tours and festivals.

“It is a chance to get established on the comedy scene,” he said. King has done shows throughout Albany and on campus and said his first paid show will be Nov. 21. He has also performed at times in Port Henry.

“I go home for breaks and work at Upward Bound in Plattsburgh, so it is nice to see how everyone is doing when I get a chance,” he said.

King said his hope in comedy is to be able to continue his stand up career, but no rely on it.

“I do not want to do this as a job but as something I do for fun,” he said. “I enjoy doing this and I could see myself with a career and continuing to do comedy as a hobby.”

Town of Schroon honors servicemen on Veteran’s Day

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — On Nov. 11, at 11 a.m., there was gratitude in the air as community members gathered at the town’s Veteran’s Memorial. Schroon Lake VFW Post 362 and American Legion Post 982 held a ceremony in front of the scenic landscape, honoring those who have risked and sacrificed their lives for the USA. Four Veterans held an American Legion, VFW, POW/MIA and American flag that waved in the forefront of the ceremony as several other soldiers stood behind them.

A large crowd surrounded the area, bowing their heads silently as various speakers gave thanks to those who have fought for our country.

After the opening dedication, a rendition of “God Bless America” was sang while those in attendance reflected on, “the land that we love.” VFW Post 362’s Commander took the podium next, giving special attention to the men and women who were disabled on the battlefield.

“On Oct. 5, Washington D.C. dedicated a new memorial - The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial,” said the Commander. “Leaving the battlefield did not mark the

end of their conflict. They may be broken in body, but never in spirit.”

The Commander explained the memorial’s planning process began 16 years ago and took over $81 million, but he weighed heavily on its importance and meaning to those who have been injured while serving. It is the first “wounds of war” memorial that has been dedicated to the approximate 3 million permanantley disabled veterans.

“Many have said it was their faith that gave them the strength to endure,” the Commander explained. “What gets people through physical and emotional crisis is foucusing on not what they have lost but what they have left.”

The VFW Commander ended his speech by encouraging those in attendance to visit the memorial next time they find themselves in Washington D.C. As he exited the podium, “Proud to be an American” rang through the audience. The song accompanied the traditional laying of the wreaths to honor our fallen soldiers.

A trumpet sounded and veterans rose to salute the flag as it was lowered to half-staff on this day of rememberance.

Local biz to state: sign off on signs!

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com NORTH HUDSON — As the state lurches towards making revisions to the state land master plan, the document that dictates virtually all facets of life within the Adirondack Park, the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board and the Association of Towns and Villages have prepared a list of “common sense” recommendations.

Among them is signage for small businesses off the Northway, something that is currently prohibited.

North Hudson Supervisor Ronald Moore said the only way visitors know of these businesses is a sign pointing them in the right direction.

“These visitors may be the difference in a small business surviving or not,” he said.

Officials also said there are few signs alerting tourists to major attractions, destination points such as the Adirondack Museum and the Wild Center, whose economic impact ripples through the region.

Moore cited Exit 29 as a prime example.

“This may be the exit for these attractions, yet there are no signs on the Northway or at the exits when they get off,” he said.

The supervisor said he’d like to see an amendment that would allow standardized signs on the Northway and other main highways and state right of ways directing visitors to lodging, gas, food, local businesses, and tourist destinations.

Moore urged his colleagues at the Essex County Board of Supervisors to chime in with their input on Monday, Nov. 3.

“We really need your support on this,” he

told them.

Signage is an amalgamation of Department of Transportation, Department of Conversation and Adirondack Park Agency (APA) policies.

Current stipulation restrict signage to fiveby-eight feet.

Adirondack Council spokesperson John Sheehan said his organization agreed with the state law, which was originally passed in the 1930s to prohibit the proliferation of billboards within the Park.

But, said Sheehan, the Adirondack Council did work with the late Sen. Ronald Stafford on a plan to create kiosks at the end of Northway exits in easements.

Doreen Ossenkop, co-owner of Adirondack Buffalo Company in North Hudson, has advocated for a change in policy for years.

She calls the policy “discriminatory.”

“We know the signage does help,” she said.

The Adirondack Buffalo Company used to have a sign, but it was yanked after an anonymous complaint. Since signage isn’t even allowed on contiguous property — which means businesses cannot buy neighboring property solely for advertising purposes — businesses say they have few options to pull in serendipitous visitors.

Social media is an option, she said. But with limited staff, it’s not always easy to keep updated.

She cited errant travelers who pulled off at Exit 29 to stretch their legs to grab a snack.

“People came up and found us intriguing,” she said. “We know for a fact that it has an impact on our business.”

Signage would allow the business to stay open through the winter, she said.

Ossenkop hailed state Sen. Betty Little and

Assemblyman Dac Stec for their lobbying efforts in pushing for variances.

“A lot of businesses and people are affected by this,” she said. “It hurts everybody.”

Adirondack Local Review Board Chairman Fred Monroe said on a broader level, his organization’s top priority is to restore balance to the plan.

“There’s a clause in the state land master plan that we believe is inconsistent,” he said, citing the phrase “the protection and preservation of the natural resources of the state lands within the Adirondacks must be paramount.”

“That appears to reject balance,” he said.

“We’d like to see that changed to incorporate the economy, that’s our biggest request.”

He called the group’s additional requests — items like maintaining scenic vistas, improving snowmobile trails, expanding mountain bike uses and the creation of low-impact ski touring trails — common sense solutions.

“Nobody’s promoting ATV trails all over and cutting trees down,” said Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages President Brian Towers. “These are changes to make life more livable. We need to bring back into focus that people live and work here. And if they’re going to survive, they need employment opportunities.”

The current review process marks the first revision in 27 years.

Two hearings remain: Monday, Nov. 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at NYS DEC Headquarters in Albany and Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Town of Webb Union Free School District in Old Forge.

Written comments will be accepted until Dec. 5 at SLMP_Comment@apa.ny.gov.

Members of Schroon Lake American Legion Post 982 and VFW Post 362 gathered at Schroon Lake Central School on Nov. 7 for a veterans observance assembly. The veterans were given written handouts from students, enjoyed music by the high school band, chorus, and viewed a video put together by the students with photos of veterans during their service days.

Schroon preliminary budget meets tax levy cap

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON — The 2015 proposed spending plan for the town of Schroon will be within the New York State tax levy cap.

The plan calls for a total of $4,343,710 in spending, up $76,662 from the 2014 adopted plan of $4,267,048, or 1.80 percent.

Under the plan, the tax levy would increase from $2,323,963 in 2014 to $2,402,274 in 2015, a difference of $78,311 or 3.37 percent.

“It’s a good budget,” said Supervisor Michael Marnell. “We came through this year in good shape and stayed under the cap. We have been very conservative and stayed within our means and are well set up for the future.”

While the town had major increases in insurance and an added $70,000 for the Schroon Lake Emergency Squad to hire paid EMTs, the town only had to use $44,000 in fund balance to help meet the cap, with none coming out of general or highway fund balances.

“We have had to use it in the past, but we have been able to stay low this year,” Marnell said.

A public hearing was scheduled for Monday, Nov. 10, on the preliminary budget. Once held, the town can approve the budget as-is or make changes before accepting the spending plan as the 2015 budget.

We are currently low on bedding items, including towels, cat beds, and blankets (no large comforters please). As you are pulling out your winter clothes and packing away the summer shorts and tees, please take a few moments to look through your towels and blankets to see if you have anything old, stained, or frayed that you may not need anymore. We are also in need of moist dog or cat food of any brand. We can also always use cat toys, dog collars and leashes, grooming supplies, steel water buckets, and Frontline Plus for flea control.

Our staff and our many adoptable animals really appreciate your help and send a big thank you!

Our featured pet this week is Pippa, a beautiful, tortoiseshell-patterned Domestic ShorthairMix who came into the shelter with her five tiny kittens. Her kittens are old enough now to go out on their own, and Pippa is hoping to find a home of her own for the holidays. This pretty

Ticonderoga chops down Lumberjacks to advance to D regional finals

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com POTSDAM — It’s not how long you have the football, it’s what you do with it that counts.

The Ticonderoga Sentinels had 2:26 in time of possession during the second quarter of its Nov. 8 Class D regional semifinal playoff against Tupper Lake. In that time, they scored 21 points.

Leading 7-0 (Konner Bruce six-yard run) and driving heading into the second quarter, Garrison Hughes scrambled for an 85-yard touchdown run just over a minute into the stanza for a 14-0 lead. On their next possession, the Sentinels took the ball 47 yards in 1:20, capped by a one-yard plunge by Ryan Trudeau.

On the ensuing Tupper Lake Drive, Merrick Ross blocked a punt at the 35-yard line, picked up the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown and a 28-0 lead.

“We work on that play every day in practice,” Ross said. “I was in the back and was able to release through the line. It was amazing.”

“I thought we started a little sluggish but did what we needed to do,” Sentinel head coach Scott Nephew said. “We thought we could get after them on special teams and we called for the blocked punt and it happen to work out. It was nice to see it pay off for Merrick.”

The Sentinels would score two more times, the first to respond to a Tupper Lake score to open the second half on a Bruce 19-yard run and the second on a 23-yard run by Bruce. Overall, Bruce had 14 carries for 110 yards and three scores.

“I think we were stronger up front,” Bruce said. “The line was giving me some good holes to run through. We will always be alright if the line continued to execute.”

Including the 85-yard scamper, Hughes finished with 143 rushing yards on 11 carries while going 2-of-3 passing for 40 yards, with both receptions going to Trudeau.

Defensively, Bruce had a pair of tackles for loss while Jacob Spaulding had two sacks. Parker Granger picked up two more interceptions, bringing his sectional total to three, while Ross added an interception to go with his blocked punt, touchdown recovery and a tackle for loss.

Devin Alkinburgh added a sack, while Kolby Bradford, Chase Dixon, Trudeau, Cody Shaner and Ian Lawrie each added a tackle for loss.

The Sentinels will play Section II/Class D power Cambridge Saturday, Nov. 15, at Schuylerville High School for a trip to the state final four in Kingston on the line with a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Cambridge quickly dismissed any talk of a border war between Ticonderoga and southern neighbor Whitehall, dispensing the Railroaders, 42-0, in the Section II title game Nov. 8.

“I know they are good and they are well-coached,” Nephew said. Ryan Trudeau leads the way for Konner Bruce during Ticonderoga’s 41-6 win over Tupper Lake Nov. 8.

“We will watch the film, get a game plan in place and go from there.”

In brief TFCU gives donations to food pantry

TICONDEROGA — As part of International Credit Union Week (Oct. 12 through Oct. 18), Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union hosted three Shred Fests, three Member-Appreciation Barbecues and a free Fraud Awareness and Prevention Seminar.

Shred Fests provide a mobile paper-shredding truck at each of the Credit Union’s branches in Elizabethtown, Port Henry and Ticonderoga. The public was invited to donate non-perishable food items in exchange for free paper-shredding. In total, 10,000 lbs. of paper was shredded at the events, generating a $300 donation from the recycling of the shredded paper. The Credit Union added $600 to that amount, resulting in a total donation of $900, along with dozens of bags of food items to be divided among three area food pantries.

Over a dozen people attended the Fraud Awareness and Prevention Seminar where they received information on best practices for credit card holders and learned how to identify various forms of fraud including identity theft. The complimentary seminar was presented by Diane Vetrone, Fraud Analyst with the Credit Union’s credit card partner, Covera. The seminar was held at the Best Western in Ticonderoga at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 14.

In addition, hundreds of free lunches were served throughout the week by credit union staff at Member Appreciation Barbecue held Oct. 15 through Oct. 17.

International Credit Union Week commemorates the important role that credit unions around the world play in their communities.

His indian name was tenderfoot

A An interesting week in the Adirondacks I

t has been an interesting week in the Adirondacks, and fortunately, I spent a fair portion of it in camp.

While a blanket of fresh snow currently caps the upper elevations of the High Peaks region, a majority of the region’s big game hunters have yet to enjoy a decent tracking snow.

However, the lack of snow ranks as just a minor blip on the radar screen when compared to a few of the more recent woodland threats.

Once again, there has been another outbreak of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in the east as the disease recently reared it’s ugly head in Ohio.

Fortunately, NYSDEC reacted quickly to announce new regulations that prohibit importing into New York certain parts of white-tailed deer, elk or moose that were taken in the state of Ohio.

It was an outbreak of CWD a few years ago that prompted DEC to put a permanent end to the long held tradition of feeding deer herds during the winter months in the Adirondacks.

Although the feeding ban has been in effect for over a half dozen years, it continues to stir up controversy and occasional bad blood.

CWD is a highly contagious and deadly disease that affects the brain and central nervous system. CWD is almost always fatal to deer; there are no vaccines or treatment for the disease.

New York State has a tremendous white-tailed deer herd and a small, but expanding, moose population.

Preventing the introduction of CWD into New York from hunter-killed carcasses is vital to protecting the health of New York’s deer and moose populations. The most effective way to protect New York’s deer and moose herds is to keep CWD infectious material out of the state, and hunters play an important role in this effort.

A times, it seems there is a new threat arriving in the region nearly every month. In the forests, there’s been the emerald ash borer, the hemlock woolly adelgid and the Asian long-horn beetles. There is also Giant Hogweed.

In the waters there is purple loosestrife, and Japanese Knotweed on the shore. Currently, invasives are directly responsible for the decline of nearly half of the threatened species in the US. Ticks, which have never traditionally posed much of a problem in the region, are now responsible for a growing epidemic of Lyme Disease in many parts of the park.

The huge rebound among New York’s geese population has been responsible for over 80 plane strikes costing millions and killed at least 24 people. The infamous “Miracle on the Hudson” plane crash was due to Canadian geese.

Often it appears the natural world, at least the one we knew as children, has become an increasingly scary and dangerous place.

Moose on the Loose

It is the time of year again, when bull moose begin wandering about the region and looking for love in all the wrong places.

North Country motorists should be extra cautious and on the lookout for moose, especially in the low light, near dusk. Car accidents are much worse with a moose than they are with a deer.

Typically, deer are struck by a vehicle’s fender, while moose, being much taller, come through the windshield.

Deer hunters should also be wary about running into moose in the woods. Last year, on the opening day of the Big Game season, a group of local deer hunters encountered a bull, a cow and a calf on their very first ‘drive’ of the new year.

Over the years, I’ve stumbled across numerous moose, both on the water and on land.

My closest moose encounter actually occurred in the side yard of a house located in the middle of Lake Placid village.

I’ve also paddled along side a moose while fishing on Fish Pond, but it wasn’t much of a contest. The moose was using four paddles, and I had only one.

The moose made its way to shore and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Report your Moose sighting

The NYSDEC recently released a press release asking for the public’s cooperation in locating moose.

If you happen to see a moose, the Department requests that you report it immediately to the DEC at 897-1291.

The DEC is seeking public assistance in an effort to learn more about New York State’s largest mammal. More information on moose can be found on the DEC web site at dec.ny.gov/animals/6964.html Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

n old dirt road once snaked its way through the woodland between North Hudson and Keene, unrolling through the Adirondack forest like a crooked streambed.

The road was well traveled by the local citizenry — trappers, loggers, merchants and the like, but eventually vanished into the Adirondack countryside, giving way to alternate roadways that nearly doubled the trip.

But a handful of old timers could still picture it in their mind’s eye.

One of those people was my uncle Ed, who swore he could feel the difference on the sole of his weather-beaten muck boots as he crossed the area where the road once existed.

“Here it is,” he’d say, standing on what looked to me like undisturbed forest. “It’s quite easy to feel the difference,” he’d add, stepping on and off the imaginary hardpan and looking inquisitively in your direction to make sure you were paying close attention.

“The camp bottom is right over there,” he’d continue, pointing in the direction of another long defunct landmark known only to those who lived to see it.

“That’s the way back to camp,” he’d say gesturing into the dense underbelly of spruce’s and tag alders.

My uncle would often refer to that road in tales of hunts long gone by. As a young lad, he’d offer it to me as a natural boundary along one of our favorite deer drives.

“Stay to the right of the road, or it’s next stop Keene,” he’d say through one of his famous toothless grins.

Oh how that ghostly road intrigued me.

Problem was I had absolutely no idea what Ed was talking about. I could dance barefoot on the thing and not feel it beneath my toes.

Eventually, through years and years of hunting the country, I came to recognize where the old road ran — mostly through picturing Ed’s leathered hand pointing through the woods at the contour of the land there.

For years I kept that secret, not wanting Ed to know I hadn’t the woods sense to figure out where a hardpan road had once run.

Until one evening after a long day’s hunt and a bit too much bubbly.

“I’ve never been able to feel that freaking road with my feet,” I blurted to Ed under the dull glow of gas lanterns, interrupting a deer story he was halfway through, the focal point of which was the old road.

Ed looked dazed, as if I had popped him over his hairless head with the woodstove poker.

“You must have tender feet or something,” I said, causing a smattering of chuckles from my fellow camp goers.

“I think your Indian name should be Tenderfoot,” I added, eliciting a long laugh from Ed. Before long the rest of the crew had fessed to the fact that they, too, could not feel the road beneath their feet.

So the name stuck. Ed would forever be known in camp by his Indian name — Tenderfoot.

This cow moose was discovered sleeping under the porch of a local Lake Placid residence. It was fond of feeding in their garden and could often be found there in the middle of the day.

Jay Lapointe of Putnam and Dallas Jordan treated Mayson Lapointe to a day in the woods last weekend where he was able to see his big brother harvest this nice six-pointer in Crown Point. Congratulations Dallas!
