Grinnell responds to highway budget, staffing cuts

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Bill Grinnell said the elimination of two positions on the townÕ s highway department was a matter of streamlining productivity. Ò When you line up all of the costs that go to materials, labor costs, fuel and more and we have such a high department cost per mile, that goes into production,Ó Grinnell said. Ò Our issue is the production costs, and that is why we did what we did.Ó The town council eliminated the two highway department positions as part of the adoption of a 2015 spending plan, which received criticism from the head of the workerÕ s union.

Prior to budget discussions, the town presented a statistical analysis of the department in comparison to several other local departments, showing what they claimed were major differences. Ò Our costs are a pretty alarming sight,Ó Grinnell said at the time.

Grinnell and councilwoman Chattie Van Wert presented numbers between local towns. In Ticonderoga, there were 10 workers covering 90 miles of road for a cost per mile of $20,017. In Moriah, nine workers cover 90 miles at a cost of $12,100.

Crown Point has five workers covering 90 miles for $8,233, with Hague and Putnam both have five workers and 66 miles of road with a cost per mile of $10,075 and $9,909, respectively.

Because of those numbers, Grinnell said the board decided to make the cuts in order to cut from the budget. Ò We had a public hearing on the budget and they had the information on the charts we presented,Ó he said. Ò I was concerned with the increase they came to us with having the numbers.Ó Grinnell also countered the claim the town used larger towns, like North Elba, when trying to purchase equipment.

Ò We are saying our equipment we have is comparable to North Elba or the village of Lake Placid,Ó Grinnell said. Ò That should make you more efficient.”

Essex County IDA reflects on successful year

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ There has been a lot of growth in business in Essex County since 2013.

There has also been a lot of behindthe-scenes work to keep business in the area, attract potential marketers from north of the border and bring even more to the region.

That work has been done by the Essex County Industrial Development Agency, who recently released their annual report. Ò We have taken about $2 million in revolving loan funds and leveraged that into $15 million in private investments,Ó Co-Director Carol Calabrese said. Ò There has been almost 100 jobs created and we have been able to retain 100 more jobs.Ó Ò We have about a dozen projects that are in the works,Ó Co-Director Jody Olcott added. Ò The people we are talking to now could be potential projects in 2016 or 2017.”

The goal of the IDA is to create a viable business atmosphere that will attract compatible and diverse sustainable economic development opportunities while focusing on major assets, retention and expansion projects, quality of life and job creation. Ò (They have) had a huge impact on the success of our business in Ticonderoga and I would encourage all new and existing businesses in Essex County to seek guidance from the ECIDA,Ó stated Pete Ward, owner of the Adirondack Meat Company in Ticonderoga. Ò Because of the IDAÕ s initial support helping us to get the resources needed to be successful, and their underwriting and approval of our project for financing, it gave our project immediate credibility,Ó added Eli Schwartzberg,

Elementary/middle school concert planned TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Elementary/ Middle School winter concert will be held on Dec. 11, 7 p.m. in the Elementary/Middle School Auditorium. The performing ensembles will be, Middle School Jazz Band, Middle School Chorus 5th-6th Grade Band, 7th-8th Grade Band and Elementary School Chorus.

owner and operator of the Champlain Valley Senior Community, an Assisted Living & Memory Care Center.

The total investment for the new projects was $30,320,767, which created 66 new full time positions and 10 new part time positions.

Along with attracting and helping such businesses as the Adirondack Meat Company and Champlain Valley Senior Community, an Assisted Living & Memory Care Center, the IDA has worked with existing Essex County businesses to keep them viable in the North Country. Ò A majority of what we do is work with existing businesses to help them with the hiccups they are having,Ó Olcott said. Ò Everybody who calls this office are people who are working to make a go of it and need our assistance.Ó Ò Even with the projects we have been able to close, we are getting as much growth through the existing businesses in the county,Ó Calabrese said.

IDA granted $1,773,929.06 in open loans, which assisted 19 businesses and helped raise $15,790,572 toward the projects. This helped to create 96 full time jobs while retaining 98 full time and 54 part time jobs.

In the case of High Peaks Distributing, the IDA helped to keep the business in the region. Ò They could have chosen to go to Western New York, but we were able to work with them and they stayed here,Ó Olcott said. Ò (Our)decision to remain and expand our business in Essex County was in large part due to the efforts of the ECIDA,Ó stated Tom and Sue McGrath, owners of High Peaks Distributing. Ò They took the time to learn about our business, listen to our needs and explain to us the benefits their program

could offer our company. From our first meeting, throughout the application process, to the final closing and PILOT agreement, the ECIDA provided clear direction. It has been a very positive, rewarding experience, one I would recommend to anyone thinking of starting or expanding a business in Essex County.Ó IDA has also continued to branch out into international waters, specifically the Canadian market, working with the North Country Chamber of Commerce to build relationships. Ò It has been going well,Ó Calabrese said. Ò What we have learned is a lot of good marketing happens by forming good relationships. We have partnered with some of the North Country Chamber events in conjunction with the Montreal World Trade Center focusing on businesses looking at the United States and, in particular, New York State. We feel we are making good progress.Ó The IDA has developed a website with the help of a grant from National Grid under its Cooperative Business Recruitment Program, specifically design to market to the Canadian market. Ò We feel it speaks to the market and the culture,Ó Calabrese said.

The IDA also secured $500,000 in grants for marketing, Community Revitalization Planning and business assistance and is continuing to work to obtain grants for these key areas, as well as new and additional grants.

The IDA has also been working with communities for downtown revitalization initiatives, continual leveraging of IDA loan fund to assist existing and start-ups. They will continue to work closely with municipalities throughout the county as well as other Economic Development Agencies/Chambers of Commerce on projects.

Ticonderoga Ladies Auxillary lights up their tree with memories

By Maggie Morgan

maggie@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ For over 25 years, the Ladies Auxillary of the Ticonderoga Volunteer Fire Department has gathered the community together to honor those who have passed with lights on their annual memory tree.

Each $1 donation goes towards a scholarship fund for Ticonderoga Central School, giving hope to those in the future in memoriam of people from the past.

The holiday season is kicked off with remembrance of those who have shaped the lives of people who made an impact in our lives, allowing us to reflect during this special time of year.

Gladys Cross comes every year and it is a tradition for her, this year she added 17 names to the memorial.

“I used to be a fireman and we did it then and after I retired I continued to do it,Ó she said. Ò Every name I put up they put a light on for.Ó Sally Senneville, President of the Auxillary, was handing out hot chocolates and cookies with Vice President Susan Cross and members Jackie Burlingame and Sherry Veneto with a smile on their faces.

The organization that has been in existence for 40 years, and said they begin the memorial on Nov. 29 every year and people can continue to hand in

names until Dec. 30 where they will be displayed on a huge decorated wreath in front of the tree. Ò We get around 300-400 names every year, and every one gets written on that wreath. There are not any memory trees left in Ti and these all go specifically to scholarships,Ó said Susan Cross.

The women raise around $600 for scholarships and said every year the crowd is different, this year even larger than the last. Gathering in memory of their deceased friends and family, local people warmed up in the firehouse to cotinue their yearly tradition. Ò We get thank you cards from the kids we give scholarships to,Ó said Jackie Burlingame Ò Our scholarships go to the kids that are very deserving but maybe donÕ t receive the big grants that they work hard but just donÕ t quite make it.Ó Sawyer Veneto and his extended family sat a table nearby, eating cookies and sipping on hot chocolate. The young man said, Ò It is important for these people to be remembered,Ó as he gathered with his relatives and dedicated time to this important event.

For those who want to help light up the memory tree or donate to the scholarship fund, names and donations can be sent to or dropped off at the firehouse or given to the Ladies Auxillary.

Essex County digging own grave with cemetery takeover

L

ast month, a battle was reignited over the Old Essex County Home Cemetery when a local resident urged the Essex County Board of Supervisors to do something Ñ anything Ñ to bring the former county-run cemetery in Whallonsburg, which is now under private ownership, back into the warm embrace of government control.

The Board of Supervisors tripped over themselves to pass a resolution to move forward with eminent domain proceedings if the owner didnÕ t agree to sell the property at fair market value, which she has owned for 30 years after purchasing it outright from the Essex County Industrial Development Agency back in 1985.

Sound familiar?

In case you forgot, county supervisors erred earlier this year when they opted to decline George MooreÕ s bid for the former Frontier Town on the grounds that his offer did not meet the minimum bid of taxes owed on the property, a caveat that was not publicized, nor applied to the other parcels on the auction block.

Moore sued the county.

As we near the end of the year, that case is still tied up in court and the board continues to waste taxpayer money and county time defending it.

So this brazen decision to dive back into possible litigation in a case that contains many of the same ingredients seems premature and foolhardy, especially considering the two sides havenÕ t even sat down for a rendezvous yet.

To us, a friendly chat seems like it should be the first step — not seizing private property through eminent domain.

Furthermore, you canÕ t take things just because you want them.

Look, we get it Ñ a spruced-up cemetery would be pleasant. It would provide a project for the community to rally behind and something for the county to hold up as a commitment to civic virtue and the needs of their constituents.

But county officials should have simply chosen not to sell the property 30 years ago.

Eminent domain is usually reserved for large-scale development projects.

The controversial measure is used as a nuclear option, like when OÕ Hare International Airport in Chicago fought for five years to obtain a small cemetery for expansion purposes — or the landmark Kelo v. City of New London case that held that takeovers are permissible if used for economic development and as a means to generate municipal revenue.

On the other hand, it should not be a knee-jerk reaction to impassioned public speeches, such as the case currently facing the board.

Essex CountyÕ s attempt to strip a landowner from the land where her husband is buried does not meet this criteria.

ThatÕ s not to say we donÕ t sympathize with the emotional argument underpinning this request.

We agree that itÕ s a shame that the resting place of 378 county residents have been overlooked and is now largely forgotten.

Each of them deserve better than eternal anonymity.

But that was something that should have been considered in 1985, not 30 years later when the county has more pressing issues.

Cooler heads should prevail and the flames of moral outrage shouldn’t be fanned for what, once the smoke clears, is a legal issue pertaining to if the initial sale was legal to begin with.

Since this is a dispute between two private citizens, the parties should resolve the problem amongst themselves without government involvement.

And do we really want to get the Adirondack Park Agency involved?

What would be even more shameful is if the county moved forward with eminent domain.

Come to think of it, supervisors have a better chance of taking Frontier Town by that measure than their attempt to pry a graveyard away from an elderly widow.

Perhaps if the group thought of that back in April, we wouldnÕ t be having this conversation. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

‘Myopic’ column To the Times of Ti: Mr. Alexander, Your recent Beware the Trojan Horse Op-Ed piece just might be one of the most myopic and self serving pieces of yours that IÕ ve read.

LetÕ s start with Ò Where were the Republicans last year, when this Obamacare Architect.....Ó Really? Where was our supposed fair, impartial and dispassionate press last year when Gruber was spouting off? This includes you and Denpubs. IÕ ll await you pointing me to the Denpbus, archives of last year for the issues in which you brought GruberÕ s spouting off to light and opined on them. As you yourself noted, it was only when Ò conservativeÓ stations began airing them that the MSM picked up on them. You do realize GruberÕ s comments were made in quasi public settings, it’s not as if he was on 60 Minutes. Interesting that since heÕ s been exposed, heÕ s gone underground. You seem to infer that there was a conspiracy within the GOP on keeping videoÕ s of GruberÕ s comments under wraps. Would ask you to provide credible evidence of such. I would think if they had these videos months ago, theyÕ d have run them pre-election.

You also missed the mark on the low voter turnout. How much of a mandate it is and will be for the GOP is up for debate and remains to be seen, But even Obama, Democrat Party strategists, and political pundits admit that the Dems got absolutely thumped, from top to bottom, Senate races, House races,

Governor races, state legislatures. In many areas turnout among registered Republicans was in line with previous mid-term elections. It was the supposed Dems base that stayed home, and they stayed home because they were lied to and deceived by Obama, Pelosi, Reid and their failed policies. It was no accident that most Democrat Senate and House candidates tried to get as far away from Obama as possible and dis-invited him to campaign for them.

An Op-Ed piece is what it is, but you mixed opinion with some flawed assumptions of the facts.

Remember Dec. 15 To the Times of Ti: Dec. 15. Do you know what federal holiday Dec. 15 is? ItÕ s much more important than the pagan holiday right after it. Dec. 15 is Ò Bill of RightsÓ Day. Last year I requested the Chestertown veterans to be patriot and have a Ò Bill of RightsÓ reading at the Chester-Pottersville Veterans Memorial in Chestertown.

Thought that maybe they would contact North Warren School to see if they had a public speaking class that would care to read the Ò Bill of RightsÓ at the memorial. Not one word from the Veterans since last year. Guess they donÕ t care. No wonder this country is going down hill so fast. Something to think about.

Lawmakers authorize county to move forward with eminent domain

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The movement for Essex County to regain control over the Old County Infirmary Cemetery gained momentum on Monday, Dec. 1 when the Essex County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution authorizing the county attorney to acquire the former burial ground through eminent domain.

County Attorney Daniel Manning said he hoped a possible transfer of the two-acre plot, located along Route 22 in Whallonsburg, could be solved amicably without legal action. Ò WeÕ re trying to come up with a resolution that’s hugely beneficial,” he told lawmakers. Ò But it looks like weÕ re going to take it one way or the other.Ó LONG-SIMMERING TENSIONS In 1985, the Essex County Industrial Devel-

opment Agency brokered the sale to Ruth Morgan and her former husband.

Following a period of upkeep by the Morgans, who resided across the road for over a decade, the land went fallow until 2009 when Willsboro resident Vicki Dickerson, whose parents once worked at the facility, began to perform simple maintenance.

Dickerson asked permission for more advanced procedures, but Morgan, citing advice from her insurance company, declined to allow the repairs.

Morgan continues to reside on the 18-acre parcel.

Under town law, Essex is permitted to perform basic maintenance on the grounds.

The long-simmering issue was rekindled last month when Dickerson collected 180 petition signatures at a VeteranÕ s Day event in Willsboro and exhorted the board to rectify what she said was an illegal sale.

On Monday, she was joined by about a dozen

46863

supporters, including former Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward.

Assemblyman Dan Stec was also in attendance, but did not speak on the matter, instead briefing lawmakers on local issues to be discussed at the next legislative session in Albany, which starts in January. Ò NO EQUITYÓ Sayward, the former Willsboro supervisor who served in the state assembly from 20032013, thanked the board for the resolution Ñ which was moved by Essex Supervisor Ed Gardner and seconded by Willsboro Supervisor Shaun Gillilland Ñ and pushed for them to follow through on regaining the property.

The retired official said the phrase “eminent domainÓ has connotations of taking someoneÕ s home or business, a process depriving them of equity. Ò This cemetery has no equity to this individual,Ó said Sayward. Ò It has no value.Ó

Sayward said she hopes the county doesnÕ t need another reminder to take action. Ò We donÕ t want to have to come back,Ó she said. Ò All IÕ m asking is that someone just nudges the county attorney that this should be on the front burner and not on the back burner.Ó Ò We are moving forward,Ó said Chairman Randy Douglas.

Douglas Oliver Morgan, Ruth MorganÕ s second husband, is interred on the property. Ò Eminent domain is probably a dirty word,Ó said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. Ò Have we exhausted our options? Have we sat down and really discussed this with the owner?Ó Scozzafava said his town is able to maintain a number of abandoned cemeteries through both local law and negotiated agreements with owners for easement rights and access. Ò I donÕ t get the sense of an informal maintenance agreement,Ó said Manning, referring to the current stand-off.

We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power.

Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world. The first step Ð in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come Ð is to teach men to shoot!Ó Theodore Roosevelt

Last night at deer camp

The coming weekend signals the end of the regular big game hunting season across a large swath of the North Country. It will come to a close at sunset on Sunday, December 7.

For diehards, who just havenÕ t had enough, thereÕ s still an extra week of late muzzleloader season which stretches from Dec. 8 - Dec. 14, and allows hunters to harvest a deer of either sex in WMUÕ s on the periphery of the Park.

Continued muzzleloading opportunities will also be available in WMU’s in the Southern Tier from Dec. 8 – Dec. 16.

But for many, the coming weekend will signal the end of the season. Once again, local hunters have been hampered by the lack of a consistent snow cover this season. It seems to have become a steady trend in recent years, with many areas experiencing less than a full week of good cover.

The long held, traditional technique of tracking big bucks that are dragging their hooves have become a rather lost art in the day and age of climate change.

While hunters in the upper elevations enjoyed a few days of light snow cover, the valleys remained primarily green and brown the entire season. It becomes awful difficult to pick out a deer when they blend into the brown background so easily.

This weekend will signal the end of the season for a majority of the local hunting camps.

It will be a time to clean up camp, patch a few holes in the roof and pack up the hunting gear until next year.

With the passing of yet another hunting season, the trails may seem to have grown longer, and maybe the hills got a bit steeper; but there will be another year, filled with the same old stories and the practical jokes.

ThatÕ s the kind of place camp is! ItÕ s not intended to be a permanent residence.

Rather, itÕ s a refuge, a place where we go for respite in the effort to escape the daily toils and trials that wear on a manÕ s soul.

It is a unique location where grown men can act like boys,

and boys can grow into men.

However, as our lives get busier, time seems to go quicker. We have less time, more stress and seemingly ever greater responsibilities.

Researchers tell us this is not good for us, that such behavior makes us more aggressive, more depressed, less patient, slower witted and fatter. But most of us already know that.

What researchers havenÕ t been able to tell us is why, or how we can fix it. However, the answer really is quite simple and obvious; we just need to spend more time in camp!

We donÕ t go to camp in an effort to get away or escape, rather we go seeking an opportunity to return to our roots, to recapture some indescribable, previous existence where men were free to roam far and wide, where the most pressing matters were food and shelter.

Thoughts on camp and the hunt

Ò There is a passion for hunting deeply implanted in the human breast.Ó Charles Dickens For brick and mortar breed filth and crime, With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats; And men are withered before their prime By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets.

And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed, In the smothering reek of mill and mine; And death stalks in on the struggling crowdÑ But he shuns the shadow of the Ô oak and pineÓ George W. Sears aka Ô Nessmuk,

Ski Season: Starts, Stops and Still Waiting for Snow While hunters continue to bemoan the seasonÕ s lack of snow cover, backcounty skiers have already been out enjoying it on the Whiteface Toll Road, the Paul Smiths VIC, the Hayes Brook Trails and a few other choice locales. Unfortunately, the Big Blow that buried Buffalo in six feet of snow a week ago, didnÕ t quite make it into the interior of the Park.

The recent warmup served to erase most of the snow, but itÕ s likely the weather will soon turnabout.

However, travelers planning a trip into the higher elevations are advised to use traction devices to prevent slips and falls on snow and ice.

Although many ponds and lakes already have a skim layer of ice, it is far too early in the season to even consider venturing on them.

However, if current conditions do not provide an appropriate amount of snow cover for the weekend, backcountry ski enthusiasts can still get into the groove, while enjoying the The Mountaineer ’s Fifth Annual Ski Season Kickoff Party at the Keene Arts Playhouse, located on Route 73, Keene, New York. Visitors are bring encouraged to bring their own beverages and refreshments.

The Mountaineer is proud to be one of only five Dynafit Competence Centers in the United States -, a title reserved for the top ski touring specialists in the world.

The event will feature the award winning films of the Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival. Special guest appearance by ULLR, the Norse God of Snow.

THS teacher Iturrino becomes State finalist in Samsung contest

By Ryan Price

denpubs@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga High School, under Jenne Iturrino has become a New York State finalist in the 2 million dollar Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest.

The contest is a nationwide competition to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). When taking part in the contest teachers were challenged to take a topic out of the traditional classroom setting and apply it to their local communities. Ò I was made aware of the program from an email sent to all science teachers by Mr. Donohue (principal),Ó said Iturrino.

The contest that had minimal requirments, said Iturrino required teachers to respond to three questions with 100 words or less. The three questions were: 1. Describe an important issue in your schoolÕ s community today.

2. Explain how you could apply STEM to address the above issue.

3. What is the biggest hurdle your students face that hinders their academic achievement.

Iturrino responded to these questions by ap-

plying food nutrition within the Backpack program to STEM. The Backpack program that is a newer program at Ticonderoga Schools has been able to provide countless families with meals by sending kids home with backpacks full of food. Ò Roughly 50 percent of the students in our school fall under the poverty level and only get meals provided to them within the school,Ó said Iturrino.

“Hungry kids tend to work less efficiently and show signs of fatigue making the BackPack program an important program.Ó During the next phase of the competition, Iturrino plans to create a lesson plan about food and nutrition by looking at different prepackaged foods. Students will specifically will look at carbohydrates, lipids and proteins as well as essential vitamins and minerals in the food. In Dec. one winner from each state will be selected and move onto the third phase, which will select national finalists and national winners.

As becoming a state finalist of the competition Ticonderoga High School was awarded with two Galaxy Tablets for Education. Iturrino plans to use the tablets to buy apps to allow kids to review and learn key concepts and

Knights support young athletes

Dinner raises money for LaChute Road Runners TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus recently hosted a dinner to benefit the LaChute Road Runners Club, raising $800 for the group that supports young athletes in the community.

Grand Knight Mike Edson made the presentation to Tim Malaney, president of the running club.

The Ticonderoga High School boys and girls cross country teams were honored at the dinner, which was held the night before the Section VII championships. Coach Jay Wells recognized each harrier.

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 running club also sponsors the Montcalm Mile, one of the regionÕ s top events.

The 28th annual race, held moments prior to the communityÕ 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 womenÕ 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 menÕ s race, winning in 4:13.2. He joins his brothers, Jesse and Lee, as Montcalm Mile winners.

With a menÕ 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.

Hunting incident Continued from page 1 The two hunters were reportedly from separate parties and Rodriguez was hunting alone on private property. After the bullet struck Rodriguez, the shooter tried to administer first aid before he left the site to call for help.

Statistically, hunting accidents are not a common occurrence, especially fatalities, but they do occur. The DECÕ s Region 5 Spokesman, David Winchell, forwarded 2013Õ s report of Hunting Safety Statistics as well as gathered statistics for 2014Õ s hunting season thus far.

The 2013 report, updated in January of 2014, states that 2013 had the lowest number of hunting related shooting incidents to date in New York StateÕ s records. The DEC attributes the low numbers to the Sportsman Education Program and believes that New YorkÕ s outdoorsmen have stayed safe because of it.

The report cites only 19 accidents in 2013, two of them being fatal in nature. The report states that the difference between life and death, Ò could be a matter of inches.Ó Only two of the 19 incidents were a two-party accident where the victim and shooter did not know each other, but 13 of the

19 incidents occurred due to unsafe handling of a firearm. The numbers in the 2013 statistic report states that, Ò Hunting remains safer than ever, but we cannot become complacent, as every hunting-related shooting incident is preventable.Ó Hunting season 2014 has already racked up some if its own incidents. Winchell reported that three hunting related shooting incidents have resulted in personal injury this year within DEC Region 5. In New York State, 18 hunting related shooting incidents have resulted in personal injury and 14 have incurred property damage. There has only been one fatality reported thus far in the season, which Winchell said was out of Western New York.

Winchell listed off various safety precautions, and said when shooting with a firearm he said the rules are. Ò Assume every gun is loaded, control the muzzle, point your gun in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and be sure of your target and beyond,Ó he said.

ROBERT F. BROWN

December 25, 1919-November 25, 2014

Robert F. Brown, 94, longtime resident of Port Henry, NY, passed away at Elizabethtown Community Hospital on November 25, 2014, surrounded by his loving family. He would have been 95 on Christmas Day. Bob was born Dec. 25, 1919, in Essex Center, Vermont, to Eva (Lovely) Brown and Ernest J. Brown. Bob graduated from Essex Center High School and attended Burlington Business College. His family moved to Port Henry and opened Ernies Restaurant on Main Street, where Bob worked before volunteering to serve in WW II. He met his future wife, Blanche Donahue, in Port Henry, and they were married while he was on a week-end pass from Pine Camp, now Camp Drum, in Watertown. Bob trained as a radioman and cryptographer, as well as on 155 Howitzers.

In July 1943, Bob sailed from Chesapeake Bay to Europe, taking what he called a zig-zag evasive route across the Atlantic to avoid enemy attacks. He was part of the famous 45th Infantry Division and saw 511 days of battle. He loved to tell how his Thunderbird Division made amphibious landings in Sicily, and moved through Anzio to Salerno, where they freed Italians and Poles from German concentration camps. Bobs Division was north of Rome on D-Day when the Allies landed in Normandy. Moving into France, the Thunderbirds pushed the enemy inland, went on to Munich and liberated Dachau in April 1945.

Bob lost many friends in the war, but stayed in touch with several Army buddies well into his eighties and early nineties. In his later years he was also invited by local schools to tell students about his war experiences.

He was a captivating and humorous storyteller, making history come alive for the younger generations who were fortunate enough to have never known warfare.

After returning home from the war, Bob worked for the U.S. Postal Service, delivering mail throughout Port Henry for 25 years. After his retirement, he continued serving his beloved community for twelve years as Mayor. His efforts in that office included obtaining $750,000 in Grants to upgrade housing, and he was

instrumental in passing a village resolution declaring Champ, the lake monster, an endangered species. Bob got calls from all over the world requesting more information on Champ, and appeared in several television segments discussing the history of the creature. He and Blanche hosted visitors from Japan, France and scientific communities around the country as they came to investigate Champ.

Bob maintained an interest in his Essex Center, Vermont hometown throughout his life. He spoke with researchers about the history of Essex Center and was a lifelong member of the Essex Community Historical Society, where he gave talks and attended meeting. Last fall Bob was able to go on an Honor Flight to see WW II Memorial in Washington, D.C. He was accompanied by his grandson Gabriel Heald. It was a high point in his life and the fulfillment of his long-time dream to see the memorial.

Bob always knew when someone needed assistance and did his best to help. His concern for others and his dedication to his family are an inspiration for all who knew him. He will be remembered for his voracious appetite for reading and learning, which continued throughout his lifetime, and his wonderful sense of humor and inexhaustible supply of funny stories. He will be greatly missed. include Survivors Blanche, his wife of 72 years, his daughter Mary and her husband Frank Heald, of Westport, Grand-daughters Amy Turner of Fairfax, Vt. And Ann Turner of Westport and Grandson Gabe and his girlfriend Natia Covington of Jay. Bob had 5 greatgrandchildren who were the joy of his life: Zoe Heald, Kayden Reynolds, Violet Heald, Phineas Turner and Liam Turner.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Bobs name to the North Country Honor Flight in Keeseville or, because Bob so loved all animals, to your favorite ASPCA or other animal advocacy group.

Calling hours were held at the Harland Funeral Home in Port Henry on Friday, Nov. 28 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Funeral services was held at St. Patricks Church in Port Henry at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 29.

On Nov. 17, Sarah Burbank was awarded the title of 2015 Distinguished Young Woman of Moriah. Burbank, daughter of Michael and Diane Burbank, gave a lyrical vocal presentation to the song, “Popular,” from Broadway’s Wicked. The first runner-up in the program was Lauren Cross, who gave a vocal presentation. Lauren was also the recipient of the Be-Your-Best-Self award. The Be-Your-Best-Self Program featured 14 sixth grade girls that served as “little sisters” to the DYW participants and were required to perform a skit in front of a separate panel of judges. The DYW participants themselves chose Blake Bigelow to receive the Spirit Award. The Moriah Distinguished Young Women Scholarship Program featured seven young women competing for awards totaling over $3,000 in cash and scholarships.

Burbank is now preparing for her participation in the New York State Finals to be held on Saturday, Jan. 10, at Cohoes High School.

State asks feds to ‘pick up pace’ on oil tanker regs

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ALBANY Ñ A state report released on Monday says the feds need to pick up the pace on the regulation of crude oil rail shipments.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the pace of federal regulatory agencies Ò unacceptably slow.Ó Ò Over the past six months, our administration has taken swift and decisive action to increase the stateÕ s preparedness and better protect New Yorkers from the possibility of a crude oil disaster,Ó said Cuomo in a statement. Ò Now it is time for our federal partners to do the same.Ó The status report also slapped the railway biz for what it said was an Ò unwillingnessÓ to invest in critical equipment that would reduce the volatility of Bakken crude, a chief contributor to the Lac Megantic incident that killed 47 last summer in Quebec.

Call 1-518-873-6368 Ext. 201

Last month, the state urged federal authorities to remove DOT-111 cars from service or require they be retrofitted to assure safer transport.

A decision is still pending.

The report also cited lobbying efforts by the state to the North Dakota Industrial Commission that would require gas separation prior to making the crude oil available for shipment, a measure that proponents say would reduce volatility.

VOLUME UNKNOWN Fracking has fueled a surge in domestic oil production over the past five years and the use of trains to ship the crude has risen by 4,000 percent, from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 407,642 in 2013.

Trains are maxed out at 100 cars, with each containing 30,000 gallons of sweet crude.

After entering the country though RouseÕ s Point in Clinton County, tankers pass

through 10 towns in the Adirondack Park Ñ some on tracks just meters from Lake Champlain Ñ on the way to a refinery at the Port of Albany.

The product is then shipped by rail and water down the Hudson River valley while the

empty cars, which still contain fumes and trace amounts of sweet crude, head north on the trek back to North Dakota.

Rail operator Canadian Pacific (CP) declined to discuss the exact volume.

SCHROON — The elves at Christmas Express working hard to fulfill Christmas wishes this year from area children, the wishes that create holiday memories and magic. There have been policy changes at some of their supporters, which has resulted in some delays and limitations on their resources this year. Ò The Ò wishesÓ are so simple, like warm boots, warm pjÕ s, a baby doll, or a movie on dvd, they touch my heart and help puts the season into perspective for meÓ , explains supporter Patti Mehm. Ò For numerous years, toys, winter clothing and other items are gathered from within the community for approximately 50 local children, ranging from infants to 13 years old and then those special items are delivered to each household.Ó There are two ways to help insure Christmas Express provide the gifts to local children. The public can collect their own Ò WISHÓ and directly purchase an item for a child. There is also a Wish Tree set up at Topps Market, on Main Street. The names and Ò wishesÓ are collected from Schroon Lake Central School and the children have asked for specific items that they are hoping to receive this year that includes detailed information (size, age, gender, etc). After taking a Ò WISHÓ , each unwrapped gift should be dropped back off as soon as possible but no later than Monday, Dec. 15.

Local boys basketball teams start strong at tournaments Schroon Lake, Moriah sweep in tournaments, Ti splits

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The winter sports season has begun, and a couple of Class D boys basketball squads have made very strong statements in their first couple of games.

The Schroon Lake Wildcats began the season in Saranac at the MuggsyÕ s Tip Off Classic, defeating Division I and Class B teams in Northeastern Clinton and Saranac to claim the tournament crown. Ò This was a great way to start the season for us,Ó coach Lee Silvernail said. Ò When scheduling non-league games, I try to find the most challenging games for us and in this tournament you are always guaranteed quality games.

To come away with two wins is huge for us and speaks to the hard work that the players over the summer and since the beginning of the season. I was very pleased with the play of the whole team especially on the defensive end, each player had some key moments that without their contribution we would not have been able to win.Ó Joe Maisonville was named the MVP of the tournament, while Tanner Stone received and all star nomination.

In Port Henry, the host Vikings scored convincing victories over another pair of Division I teams in Plattsburgh High and AuSable Valley. Ò I wanted to see if we could handle pressure defense and how well we would share the basketball,Ó head coach Brian Cross said. Ò I was pleasantly surprised with how well we did with both. We played good team defense and ran the floor very well which is what we hope to do going forward.Ó The Wildcats will play AuSable Valley Dec. 5 in a game which will give them and the Vikings a chance to see how each plays against the same opponent. Ò This group has always worked hard and have been committed, but this year they have been practicing and working with a level of focus and intensity I have not seen from them,Ó Silvernail said. Ò We have one more non-league game Friday against AuSable Valley before we start league play and we have focused a lot of attention to defense and our measure of how we do during league play will be measured by our defense and the goals we set each game.Ó At the AlzheimerÕ s Awareness Tournament, the Ticonderoga Sentinels also scored a win over Plattsburgh High, going 1-1 in their opening two games. Ò I was happy we were able to take care of the ball better in game two,Ó head coach Joe Defayette said. Ò Defensively we did a tremendous job anticipating and moving in the zone and we had contributions from everybody.Ó

he North Country SPCA would like to announce that if you adopt a dog or cat between now and Jan. 1, 2015, you can get a special holiday offer - only $10 adoption fee for cats, and only $25 adoption fee for dogs!

There has never been a better time to add a new four-legged member to your family.

Our many loveable, adoptable furry friends are dreaming of going to their very own home for the holidays; you can make that dream a reality. Come see all of the wonderful animals waiting for their forever homes. Regular adoption procedures apply.

For more information about our adoption special, please call the NCSPCA at 873-5000.

Our featured pet this week is Pearl, a Jack Russell Terrier/Fox Terrier/Mix who is full of energy and zest for life.

Pearl was seen wandering on a back road and eluded capture for a week. One day on her own, she simply found a house she found appealing and walked right in!

Pearl is an exuberant, energetic dog, typical of the terrier breed, always ready for a new adventure. We believe she is approximately two years old and ready to find a family she can call

Pearl her own. Pearl does not like other dogs, but she seems to get along well with cats.

She has good leash manners and really enjoys the play yard where she can run around and get her daily exercise. Pearl is very neat in her kennel and seems to be housetrained. If youÕ re looking for a little Ò pocket pal,Ó come check out Pearl - with her size and happy personality she will not be here long!
