USCGA Flotilla to attend fishing tourney
TICONDEROGA „ Members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 15/13 will once again join with the Elks in working to make the 2013 Elks Fishing Tournament a success. The members of the flotilla will be at the tournament on June 1 to promote marine/ boating safety. Activities will include distribution of materials and items that encourage children, along with their parents to keep an eye on fishing, boating and enjoying the water in a safe manner. ñ It is a sad but true fact that more than 75 percent of all water deaths involve folks that are not wearing an appropriate PFD (personal flotation device - life jacket),î said David Hirtle of Flotilla 15/13. ñ The importance of this essential piece of water apparel includes the right PFD on the right person. Questions to ask before sending your child down to the river/lake or boat are „ Does the PFD they have selected provide the correct flotation for the wearer’s weight? If the PFD the correct type for the conditions that the wearer will encounter? Does the PFD select offer either USCG or UL (Universal Laboratories) stamp of approval?î This year, in memory of the district commodoreÍ s spouse, 10 childrenÍ s PFDs will be given to the Elks Club to share with the children in the area. These special PFDs have memorial tags attached to remind all of the commitment to boating safety shared by the USCG Auxiliary. During the fishing tournament, certified members of the flotilla will offer, at no charge,

TICONDEROGA „ Ticonderoga Central School District voters have approved a 2013-14 budget that cuts employees and academic programs. The budget was approved, 550-382, in balloting May 21. The 2013-14 budget totals $18,514,628. ThatÍ s an increase of $664,805 „ 3.73 percent „ from the current spending plan of $17,849,823. The 2013-14 tax levy is $10,706,316. ThatÍ s an increase of $389,584 „ 3.78 percent „ from the $10,316,732 raised by taxes in 2012-13. That meets the state-mandated tax cap. ñ I am very pleased the community came out and supported the budget given the extremely difficult decisions that went into constructing it,î Superintendent John McDonald said. ñ I hope we can move forward in the next few months addressing our programmatic needs with the cuts we were forced to make. I commend the school board for its hard work.î Facing a $540,000 budget gap, the Ticonderoga Central School board of education was forced to make tough decisions when preparing the budget. The spending plan calls for the elimination of 11.6 full-time equivalent jobs and cuts in academic programs. ñ WeÍ ll maintain everything required for an advanced Regents diploma,î McDonald said. ñ WeÍ ll have to cut some electives, cut some college-level classes, make cuts in music and art.î To reach the state-mandated tax cap the budget cuts full-time math, science, English and teacher aide positions. It also cuts 4.5 teaching assistant jobs. Half-time computer aide, English and physical education positions are eliminated. It reduces full-time English and foreign language jobs to half time. Other positions in guidance, home and careers, music, art, business, technology, English and math are cut by 20 percent as is a social worker job. In all, 25 employees are being cut to some degree. Also eliminated is a librarian position. That person is retiring and will not be replaced. Five years ago Ticonderoga Central School had 120 teachers. Today there are 100. Next year there will be 88.5. McDonald pointed out thatÍ s more than a 25 percent reduction in teaching staff. During that same period enrollment has declined 15 percent. The budget also calls for $15,000 to be cut from athletics and extracurricular programs. McDonald said specific cuts will be determined after the district does an analysis of participation and competitive opportunities. Limits placed on the district by the state tax cap allow a local tax levy of $10,706,316. ThatÍ s an increase of $389,584 from the present tax levy. But while Ti is limited to a $389,584 tax increase, costs out of the districtÍ s control have soared. Retirement costs for district employees are up $460,000 and employee health insurance is up $150,000 in 2013-14. Also expected to increase are fuel, heating, utility and other costs. Also, after three years of concessions, Ticonderoga teachers

Community service helps build character P L
ocal students have been learning a lot in the classroom during the 2012-13 school year and are preparing for their finals and RegentÍ s examinations as we speak. What we would like to draw attention to, though, is the learning that has been done at several schools this year that has had nothing to do with core curriculum or state testing. WeÍ d like to recognize those schools that have placed a value on not only the education that takes place inside school walls but also outside of those walls. Last week, Westport Central School students, under the direction of the student council, teachers Westport 8th graders Noah Hart and Ronald Adam Facteau and Cheryl Phillips, and support “Hoss” Logan help spruce up outside the Depot from the administration, held an ï Adopt-Your- Theatre last week. Town DayÍ event throughout the community. Photo by Keith Lobdell Students went to several locations in Westport, cleaning up streets, parks, trails, and buildings in a morning of service to the community that supports them. Each class was given an assignment at locations throughout the town and worked throughout the morning to help clean up their community. While not traditional classroom learning, students did get a lesson from their day in the community. Most of the kids were smiling as they served, with one saying that they had more fun working than they did during the field day events held afterward. The lesson is that serving the community you live in is always rewarding, something that you can take pride in not only as an individual but as a collective. Phillips and Facteau said that the day was created as part of the schoolÍ s focus on character education, especially when it comes to community service. More and more, schools are implementing a community service aspect to the curriculum of the district, asking students to give a certain number of hours working in the community and giving their time to others. The students at Westport Central School worked together to make their town a better place, and they should be commended as a group for what they did. Earlier this year, students at Willsboro Central School held a school-wide food drive for the local pantry. Once all the food was collected, the entire school formed a human chain from the entrance of the school to the entrance of the food pantry, handing donations one at a time between each other and working as one to show their support for the community. While these are two examples of school-wide service projects, there are many others that take place throughout the school year. Students in the Elizabethtown-Lewis Art Club painted murals at the Horace Nye Nursing Home and the Elizabethtown-Lewis Emergency Squad. The Schroon Lake National Honor Society hosts community blood drives and Ticonderoga students shop to support the local food pantry. All of these examples take learning outside of the classroom and into the real world, where perhaps the biggest lessons that young adults will need as they progress toward community citizens can take place. In order for a community to function, everyone should play a part. What schools are now doing is providing students not only with the tools to be a productive member of society when it comes to book learning, but also when it comes to character development. Giving students the building blocks of being strong citizens is vital in a world where reliance on each other is needed. We have seen how communities locally and nationally have rallied around each other in times of crisis or need, and giving students the chance to learn and grow through service to one other and the community ensures that the tradition of being there for others will continue well into the future. „

Food drives aid pantry

To the Times of Ti:
To the Times of Ti: The volunteers of the Ticonderoga Food Pantry have received with sincere appreciation, the results of two recent food drives. The postal workers drive was very successful. We wish to thank everyone involved in that, event. We know it is extra work for the postal employees and their effort is appreciated. We thank the residents of Ticonderoga and Putnam who donated to this drive which helped restock the pantry very nicely. The second drive was a student project supported and organized by the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership. In this project the TMSP volunteers and teachers used a $750 grant from the StewartÍ s Foundation, then added $250 to divide among the student shopping teams. Each team was to purchase as many grocery as possible with their hundred dollars. The goal was to help young people learn ways and means of shopping effectively and to assist the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. We wish to thank, the TMSP personnel, the students and teachers for their time and effort in a most successful drive. Both of these drives were very helpful to our program as they came in when our inventory had become a bit low. As a reminder: the Ticonderoga Food Pantry is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11 until noon. We serve residents in Ticonderoga and Putnam. Thank you most sincerely to all who have assisted our program, enabling us to continue out stated goal of provided good nutritious food to those who visit our pantry. Margaret H. Beuerlein Food Pantry Director Ticonderoga
To the Times of Ti:
Good news for those who wish to take responsibility for their safety into their own hands. On Friday, May 24, radio station 810 reported that the NYS SheriffÍ s Association was joining in a lawsuit against the Safe Act. Most sincere thanks to those sheriffs who pushed for this. Also the same station reported that the Colorado SheriffÍ s Association was suing Colorado for their equivalent to NYS Safe Act gun law. Their association also stated they would not enforce the new gun laws. It is also reported that a strong movement is underway to recall, with by-partisan support, those who supported the Colorado law. Many chiefs of police are in support of the people and the sheriffÍ s association suit, but are not outspoken because they are appointed, not elected, and fear the loss of their jobs. The officers on the street that I’ve spoken to are also against the Safe Act. Recently one citizen was arrested for having nine rounds instead of seven in his clip. The DA reportedly opted not to prosecute. The reason was not stated. I hope reason was why he or she reached that decision. May God bless you all, and God bless our sheriffs. John Capek Crown Point

Putnam voters approve school budget easily Superintendent pleased with 76 percent support By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PUTNAM „ Putnam Central School District voters gave overwhelming support to the 2013-14 budget in balloting May 21. The $2.2 million spending plan was approved by 76 percent of voters, 54-17. ñ The percentage of support for the budget was impressive,î
said Matt Boucher, Putnam school superintendent. The budget totals $2,249,218. ThatÍ s a $55,970 increase „ 2.5 percent „ from the current spending plan of $2,193,248. The amount to be raised by taxes in the budget is $1,733,927. ThatÍ s an increase of $56,279 „ 3.4 percent „ from the 2012-13 tax levy of $1,677,648. PutnamÍ s budget meets the state-mandated tax cap, but early projects were a concern to the district. Told to expect a 35 percent cut in aid this year when the preliminary state budget was announced, state education department officials later restored PutnamÍ s state support. Boucher said the spending increase is because of increased
costs for state retirement, employee health insurance and special education. The budget maintains all student programs and staff, the superintendent said. Putnam Central School has 33 students attending its kindergarten through sixth grade building. It pays Ticonderoga Central School tuition for another 44 Putnam students to attend Ti Middle School and Ti High School. Voters also approved a resolution to increase the districtÍ s capital fund, 61-10. Charlie Bain, running unopposed, won election to the school board with 64 votes.

SILVER BAY „ The John Costello Memorial Scholarship Award was founded in 2004 to give a high school senior the opportunity to enrich their life. Costello died at age 19 in an accident in August 2003. He was a 2002 graduate of Ticonderoga High and attended Adirondack Community College. He had a great love of music and friendship, which he found in abundance at Silver Bay, where he was a summer ñ emp.î The first annual coffeehouse in his memory, which helps support the scholarship awards, was dubbed Flippancy Fest by the first recipients and organizers, Alison Rutkowski and Ryan Davis, fellow graduates of Costello.

Rain garden created at Ti beach TICONDEROGA „ Lake George Association staff and volunteers protected Lake George from stormwater runoff recently as they planted an educational demonstration rain garden at the northern end of Lake George. Keller Williams Realty of Saratoga Springs assisted the Lake George Association with planting and mulching the rain garden situated in Ticonderoga as part of their annual RED Day. RED Day, which stands for Renew, Energize & Donate, is an initiative celebrating Keller WilliamsÍ year round commitment to improve the communities they serve. ñ The Lake George Association is at the heart of the Lake George community, doing the essential environmental work to insure that the incredible natural resource of the lake is always there, as healthy as ever for all of us to enjoy. Their award winning work protecting the cleanliness of the lake from invasive species is amazing. And the public display rain garden our agents have helped them to build is just another example of their tireless work to educate all residents and visitors of the lake on how to maintain the pristine beauty of this resource,î said Justin White, CEO for Keller Williams Realty Saratoga Springs. ñ We were thrilled to have Keller Williams Realty join us and help plant the rain garden. As realtors interacting with homeowners around the lake on a regular basis, they can help educate homeowners about lake-friendly living practices including rain gardens, so we are very glad that they wanted to team up with us to help protect Lake George,î said Emily DeBolt, LGA outreach coordinator. Rain gardens are landscaped depressions that are designed to capture and filter storm water from roofs, driveways, and other hard surfaces. By collecting water and allowing it to slowly soak into the ground, rain gardens reduce the potential for erosion and minimize the amount of pollutants flowing from a lawn into a storm drain, and eventually into our lakes, rivers, and streams. The rain garden at the beach house in Ticonderoga also benefits the area with native plants, enhancing the beauty of the landscape and providing valuable habitat for birds and butterflies. Some of the native species used in TuesdayÍ s planting are: Blue Flag Iris, Joe Pye Weed, White Turtlehead, Bee Balm, Cardinal Flower, and Common Rush. The LGA works year-round to educate homeowners all around the lake about rain gardens and other ways to live ñ lakefriendly.î Last summer they published a ï Homeowners Guide to

Ti High again earns national recognition Schroon Lake also among the nation’s best, magazine reports By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA „ Ticonderoga High School has again been ranked as one of the best in the nation. Ti High was awarded a silver medal by U.S. News and World Report magazine in its annual ranking of the countryÍ s best schools. ItÍ s the fourth straight year the school has been honored. “Even though this identifies our high school, it is a K-12 effort,î John McDonald, Ti school superintendent, said. ñ I am very proud of our staff and students. Amid all the fiscal challenges, our people are committed to do whatever it takes to provide a
quality program with high expectations. I congratulate them for working hard and continuing to focus maintain high expectations for achievement.î Schroon Lake received a bronze medal. It also received a bronze medal last year. More than 21,000 public high schools were evaluated for the report with 4,318 cited. Only the top 500 received gold status. Schools were rated based on state assessments and college readiness as measured by student success in Advanced Placement and other college-prep programs. The report can be found online at www.usnews.com/best-high-schools/features/bhs-homepage. The School for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas was rated the best school in the country. The Brooklyn Latin School was rated as the best in New York and 21st in the nation. According to the U.S. News report Ticonderoga High School is the 118th best school in New York State with 97 percent of its
students proficient in math and 97 percent in English. Ti ranked as the 1,169th best high school in the land. More than a quarter of Ti students have passed Advanced Placement exams. Ti High was ranked 228th in the state last year with 95 percent of its students proficient in English and 94 percent in math. Schroon Lake had 100 percent proficiency in math and English. Bronze award winners were not ranked, listed alphabetically. U.S. News and World Report worked with American Institute for Research, a Washington-based organization, to create the rankings. High schools were judged on overall student performance on state standardized exams and on the performance of students who are black, Hispanic and come from low-income homes. Student performance on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams were also used to determine how well schools prepared students for college.

TFCU offers financial help to children TICONDEROGA „ Local youth celebrated National Financial Literacy Month and learned about money management at Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union during April. The credit union celebrated National Financial Literacy Month by encouraging youth members to visit the credit union to enter a raffle for $30 cash as well as the $100 national prize. One winner was drawn at each of the credit unionÍ s three branches. The three winners are Mason Thompson in Ticonderoga, Samuel Fosco at the Port Henry branch, and Lance Snyder at the Elizabethtown branch. ñ I like the credit union because it helps me save my money and I want to save it to go to a big hotel like in Disney,î said Thompson. ñ And they have mango lollipops.î In addition to the raffle, each of the credit union’s branches distributed dozens of money management activity books and educational guides for age groups covering pre-k to high school, as well as tips for parents to help teach children the benefits of saving early on. April was also the National Youth Savings Challenge month for credit unions across the country. As part of the challenge, TFCU encouraged young members to open new savings accounts and make deposits. Young members who opened a Savings

TICONDEROGA „ Fort Ticonderoga newest exhibit, ñ It would make a heart of stone melt „ Sickness, Injury, and Medicine at Fort Ticonderoga,î opened on May 17. The exhibit explores early medical theory, practice, and experience as each relates to the armies that served at Fort Ticonderoga in the 18th century. Organized into several sections, the exhibit presents an overview of medical practices, diseases of the army, and the treatment of wounds for the armies that fought in America during the French & Indian War and American Revolution. ñ Medical care of troops was of paramount concern to the armies that sought to attack or defend Ticonderoga, and lessons learned at Ticonderoga had a direct impact on the outcome of the American Revolutionî said Chris Fox, Fort Ticonderoga curator of collections. ñ The health and well-being of an army had a direct impact on its effectiveness on the battlefield.” When the American army was struck with a smallpox epidemic in the aftermath of the invasion of Canada during the winter of 1775-1776, the army had to take swift action. American commander Col. Benedict Arnold implemented a comprehensive, but controversial inoculation program to rid the army of the disease. As a result of his actions, the American army in New York was largely free of smallpox by the spring of 1777. So successful was the program of inoculation that Gen. George Washington implemented a similar program for the army as a whole following year. As a result, the American army became virtually free of one of its most serious ailments which led to a stronger army and helped secure American independence. ñ The creation of this exhibit is an important step in a process to improve Fort TiconderogaÍ s exhibits and make them more engaging and informative for the public,î said Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO. ñ It would make a heart of stone melt „ Sickness, Injury, and Medicine at Fort Ticonderogaî exhibition and related programs are made by possible by support from International Paper Foundation, D&E Technologies, Inter-Lakes Health, Fletcher Allen Healthcare, Elizabethtown Community Hospital, CVPH Medical Center, GE Foundation, and individual supporters.

Ticonderoga From page 1 and Environmental Impact Statement April 23. The plan identifies a “preferred alternative” that calls for a mandatory inspection program for all trailered boats entering Lake George and hot water power washing decontamination of boats that donÍ t pass inspection. Before the draft can become final the public will have 60 days to comment. The public comment period will end June 25. The plan can be read online at the LGPC website, www.lgpc.state. ny.us. Lake George currently has five invasive species in its waters — Asian clam, Eurasian milfoil, zebra mussels, curlyleaf pondweed and spiny waterflea. It’s believed those non-native species were brought to Lake George by boats that had been in other lakes. The LGPC spends more than $1 million a year to manage and eradicate invasive species. In the past two years alone the state and local governments have spent more than $1.5 million in efforts to eradicate the Asian clam. The plan is the result of two years of research and more than 50 public meetings. According to the draft plan, five inspection and decontamination stations will be set up on Lake George „ at Mossy Point in Ticonderoga, Rogers Rock Campsite in Hague, Narowal Marina in Bolton, near Exit 21 of the Northway in Lake George and Ridge Road in Queensbury. There are 103 boat access points on the lake. Private boat launches and marinas will be asked to sign a memorandum of understanding, agreeing to inspect and decontaminate boats. The five inspection and decontamination stations are expected to cost $61,000 each to establish. Once those stations are in place, the program is expected to cost $677,000 a year to operate. Dean Cook of Ticonderoga, a LGPC commissioner, said itÍ s still uncertain how the program will be funded. He said the Lake George Park Commission will seek money from the state, which owns the lake. He also noted communities surrounding the lake may be asked to contribute. Increased boat registration fees are also likely to help pay for the program.

Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender of Ticonderoga urged people to learn about the proposed plan. ñ The LGA has been working closely with the LGPC on this plan as it has been under development for over a year now, participating in many public meetings and assisting the process by sharing data and information that the LGAÍ s award winning Lake Steward Program has collected over the last five years,” Lender said. ñ We were very pleased when it was approved unanimously by the LGPC commissioners at the April 23 monthly meeting. Preventing the introduction of more AIS (aquatic invasive species) into Lake George is vital to protecting the lake. And while our Lake Steward Program has had many ï savesÍ over the years and recently was recognized at the national level for its success, the LGPC has the authority to put stronger protections into place to protect the Lake from new AIS introductions. ñ We encourage all of our members to take a look at the plan and to attend a public hearing,î Lender said. ñ If you canÍ t attend a hearing, there is still the opportunity to be involved in the process by submitting written comments.î While the inspection and decontamination plan is probably a year away, the Lake George Park Commission and state Department of Environmental Conservation have agreed to step up efforts this summer to prevent the spread of invasive species in Lake George. The agencies will: „ expand the Lake George AssociationÍ s boat steward program from May to September. The season previously ran from June to August. The expanded program will be funded by $50,000 from the state Environmental Protection Fund; „ develop and implement a more comprehensive outreach program to local and regional boaters who boat on Lake George on how they can reduce the risk of spreading and introducing invasive species; — increase patrols by DEC and LGPC officers trained in aquatic invasive species spread prevention; and „ establish voluntary boat wash stations at boat launches around Lake George. The park commission has also received $400,000 from the state this year to help contain and prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Hague roadside cleaned Local business ‘adopts’
HAGUE „ Anthony DeFranco, PE-consulting engineer, recently adopted a two-mile section of NYS Route 9N from the center of Hague south toward Silver Bay. This is the second stretch of the highway that the DeFrancoÍ s have adopted in Hague. DeFranco Landscaping, Inc. & Sew & Sow Embroidery have adopted a twomile stretch near RogerÍ s Rock campground. DeFranco is a licensed professional engineer with a degree in civil and environmental engineering. His firm focuses on stormwater design and green infrastructure technologies that are critical to keeping Lake GeorgeÍ s water clean. The firm focuses on all aspects of site design from permitting, design and even installations through their family’s flagship company, DeFranco Landscaping, Inc. DeFranco notes that he is working with many architects, surveyors, builders and lakeshore property owners on house renovations, new house construction and failing septic systems around Lake George and some surrounding lakes in the Adirondacks. Established in 1984, DeFranco Landscaping, Inc. is a full-service professional landscaping company that focuses on using these techniques on sensitive lakefront properties along the Lake George shoreline and surrounding Adirondack region. ñ We collect 5-6 bags of garbage during each of the four times that we clean our roadside,î DeFranco said. ñ That equates to about 30 gallon bags of garbage being picked up along one of our communityÍ s important highway. It is the first impression to visitors when arriving in the Northern Lake George region. A lot of the litter consists of plastic and glass containers that can be conveyed by stormwater along the roadside ditches of NYS Route 9N toward the shoreline of Lake George. WeÍ d also like to think that we
are doing are part to help keep Lake George clean.î

While these ñ found familiesî break the traditional mold from the one that you might map out on a family tree, there are some similarities. Families, no matter how they are defined, enjoy spending time with one another. From tailgates to Sunday night family dinners, meals bring people together. In fact, 40% of the Americans recognize dinner as their favorite way to spend quality time together. * ñ Calling someone a member of your family is as much about being related as it is about how you relate to one another through interests and passions. ItÍ s a belief that my grandfather and great uncle, Ernest and Julio Gallo, held and that we carry on in our winemaking,î said Stephanie Gallo, third generation Gallo family member. ñ We are proud of our eighty year tradition of making great tasting wines at an affordable price for American families of all shapes, sizes and forms and wanted to hear more about their traditions.î In celebration of this time-honored tradition, Gallo Family Vineyards opened its family cookbook to fans and asked them to share their own recipes through their Family Famous Recipe Contest. These recipes and their correlating stories offer snapshots of the many faces and compositions of American families.

What follows is just one of the many cherished recipes shared. ñ As a young girl, I loved to help my grandmother make these delicious potato pillows,î one contributor noted. ñ I now have the honor of making these traditional pierogies and look forward to days in the kitchen when I can share this recipe with my own daughter and daughter-in-law so it is passed on to the next generation.î Whether itÍ s with your relatives or friends you describe as family, raise a glass of wine and toast to the people you enjoy spending time with the most.

Donations sought for Schroon celebration July 4th contributions needed By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE „ The 59th annual Fourth of July celebration in the town of Schroon needs assistance. Kate Huston, chairwoman of the festivities, said money and volunteers are needed to support this yearÍ s Independence Day activities. The day-long celebration is funded entirely through contributions. ñ There seems to be a lull in donations,î Huston said. Some monetary donations have been re-
ceived, Huston said, but more are needed. ñ In order to provide the quality people have become accustomed to, we need to have the donations,î she said. ñ The economy is tight, prices keep going up and the cost of everything we do for the parade is also going up. ñ As much as I hate asking, since so many people have already been so generous, I still need to have people continue to donate so we can continue to pay for the dayÍ s events,î she said. ñ No amount is too small, whatever you can donate will be appreciated and it all adds up to allow us to reach our goal.î Donations can be mailed to The July 4th Fund, PO Box 614, Schroon Lake 12870. People can call Huston at 532-9745 or Email info@ newyorktroutfishing.com for additional information.
The July 4th committee is also looking for volunteers to help with the parade line up and parade participants. ñ We are always looking for more participants for the parade,î Huston said. ñ We need old/antique cars, floats, horses/animals or whatever you would like to put in. It is a great way to advertise your business by putting a vehicle/ float in the parade. ñ We are also always looking for volunteers for help with the lineup of the parade,î she said. ñ If you are interested, please call me. It takes a lot of people to help with the lineup.î Huston said the 2013 Schroon Lake July 4th celebration will have two new surprises. ñ I think people will be very pleased with both of them, especially the children,î she said. ñ But then we are all children at heart, right?î
In past years the celebration got under way with the Schroon Lake Community ChurchÍ s chicken barbecue beginning at 11 a.m. The church is located in the center of town on US Route 9. Activities in the town park have included childrenÍ s games and events, the Town of Schroon Lions Club food tent and a series of concerts. SchroonÍ s traditional Fourth of July parade starts at 6 p.m. It proceeds from Hoffman Road north on Main Street to Fowler Avenue and onto Leland Avenue to town beach area. At dusk the Word of Life Collegians perform a concert of patriotic music on the town beach that is followed by a fireworks display above Schroon Lake. Throughout the day there are sales and special events by downtown merchants.
Schroon budget approved 200-144 in May 21 balloting Armstrong edges Murdock for board seat SCHROON LAKE „ Schroon Lake Central SchoolÍ s 2013-14 budget has been approved by voters. Residents OKed the spending plan, 200-144, in balloting May 21. The budget totals $7,400,244. ThatÍ s an increase of $156,930 „ 2.17 percent „ from the current budget of $7,243,314. The amount to be raised by taxes in the budget is $6,165,681. ThatÍ s a $128,479 increase „ 2.13 percent „ from the present tax
levy of $6,037,202. The 2.13 percent increase is less than the 2.97 percent allowed by the state tax cap. Helping the 2013-14 budget is a $172,037 increase in state aid and employee health insurance savings created by changing programs. ñ A last minute state aid increase helped reinstate funds for programs for students with disabilities and athletic programs,î according to a school board statement. ñ Professional development funds and BOCES career and tech education program funds were also increased. ñ The district is working closely with North Country Community College to increase the number of dual credit college courses
available to Schroon Lake students,î the statement reads. ñ The district continues to examine opportunities for shared services with other school districts.î Voters also approved a separate proposition to purchase a 35-passenger bus at a cost not to exceed $73,800. The vote was 200-134. The school board believes the actual cost of the new bus will be about $44,800 with a trade-in and the new bus will save money in maintenance and insurance costs. Voters also re-elected Tina Armstrong to the board of education. Armstrong received 169 votes to edge out former board member Bruce Murdock, who got 167 votes, for a five-year term.

poorest country in the western hemisphere; only Haiti has worse poverty. School lunch is important, Whitney said, because it is often the only food a child receives in a day. ñ If they donÍ t get lunch at school during the day, odds are they wonÍ t get fed every night when they go home,î the Schroon Lake senior said. ñ It is so important that we sponsor these children to assure education and do what we can to assure better nutrition as well. ñ I currently sponsor an 11 year-old girl attending Chiquilistagua Publico named Izayanna,î she said. ñ The lunch we can buy for the students will vary from meals such as tortilla bread and cheese, or soup, or oatmeal-like drinks. These meals are very simple and they emphasize fruit and protein, which is what most children lack most in their diets.î Whitney considered asking for donations to support her lunch program, but decided to hold a race. ñ I chose to hold a race rather than just ask for donations mostly because of the action it takes,î Whitney explained. ñ Mission of Hope is all about action. Sister Debbie (Blow, Mission of Hope director) always reminds us that ï our mission truly starts when we get home.Í We all need to do what we can and getting up in the morning to push your body to run 5 kilometers for a great cause is a lot more satisfying than just handing someone 20 bucks. ñ Also, Mission of HopeÍ s slogan has always been ï corazones y manosÍ which translates from Spanish to ï hearts and handsÍ to show that we care and we take action,î she added. ñ For the run, I have come up with the slogan ï corazones y pies,Í which means ï hearts and feetÍ to symbolize the reason why we are running.î A spiritually-based humanitarian organization, the North Country Mission of Hope is committed to fostering hope and empowering relationships with the people of Nicaragua through sustainable programs in education, health care, community and ecological development. It began in 1998 by responding to the devastating effects of Hurricane Mitch on the impoverished villages of Nicaragua. The North Country Mission of Hope is successful, Whitney said, because of the support it receives from Adirondack residents. ñ Mission of Hope is so incredibly thankful for the people in the North Country for all of their support,î Whitney said. ñ We realize that, especially in todayÍ s economy, there are people who suffer from hunger even here in the United States. However, we are fortunate enough to have numerous programs and organizations that are dedicated to help our people, like the Salvation Army and food pantries. ñ In Nicaragua, they rely on people like you and me to help mitigate their hunger, their pain,” she added. “It’s difficult sometimes to remind ourselves that we donÍ t really need the new iPhone, or that a bad grade on a math test isnÍ t the end of the world. But when we remember what is really important, we can open our hearts with generosity and make an unimaginable difference in the lives of people all around the world.î

Crown Point budget gets approval from voters Programs, staff remain in tact By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT „ Crown Point Central School District voters have approved a 2013-14 budget that mirrors the present spending plan. The budget, approved 97-10, maintains all existing programs and staff. There are no cuts. The 2013-14 budget totals $6,271,828. ThatÍ s a $136,140 increase „ 2.22 percent „ from the present budget of $6,135,688.
The tax levy for 2013-14 is $1,544,000. ThatÍ s a $28,645 increase 1.89 percent „ from the current $1,515,355 raised by taxes. It meets the state-mandated tax cap, which is 5.89 percent for Crown Point. ñ The budget is very similar to last year,î Superintendent Shari Brannock said. ñ It maintains all our staff, programs, electives, sports and extracurricular activities. ñ The proper balance of a stable environment and culture for our staff and students, with realistic requests for taxpayer support, is very important,î she said. Crown Point Central School has 274 students kindergarten through 12th grade. Brannock pointed out the budget is less than the 2009-10 „
spending plan. Much of the budget reduction in recent years is a result of staff retirements, which reduced both payroll and pension contributions. Crown Point receives 64.3 percent of its budget from the state. ThereÍ s an additional $147,091 in state aid for 2013-14, but thatÍ s still less than the 2009-10 academic year, Brannock said. At that time state aid comprised 73 percent of the budget. The proposed budget includes 2-3 percent pay increases for all school employees. Voters also elected three board of education members. Kathy Debrolander received 87 votes, Mitch St. Pierre 76 votes and Julieanne Budwick 71. They ran unopposed.

years of struggling to meet the state-mandated tax cap, Moriah caught a break when the state increased aid to the district. The result is a $15 million budget that was approved by voters, 238-50, during balloting May 21. ñ Overall, IÍ m very happy with the budget and voter support,î William Larrow, Moriah school superintendent, said. The 2013-14 Moriah budget totals $15,013,565. ThatÍ s $157,173 less „ 1 percent „ than the current spending plan of $15,170,738. The amount to be raised by taxes in the proposed budget is $3,769,404. ThatÍ s $76,591 „ 2.1 percent „ more than the current tax levy of $3,692,813. MoriahÍ s state aid for next academic year is up $318,520. Coupled with the retirement of a $400,000 building debt, the district started its budget planning more than $700,000 better off than it was a year ago. Larrow pointed out that while state aid has increased from a
year ago, it’s still $374,000 less than it was five years ago. Larrow said the spending plan maintains all school programs. One special education position will be eliminated through attrition and employee health insurance costs will be down next year because of a new plan. Teachers and support staff will receive 3 percent pay increases next year, while administrators will get a 2 percent pay hike. Moriah Central School has 742 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Voters also approved a separate proposition to purchase a regular school bus and a small, handicap-accessible bus at a cost not to exceed $158,000. That vote was 238-50. Elected to the board of education were Benjamin Winters with 235 votes and Charles French with 225. A third seat remains open since no candidate sought the position.

I just want to get it over with before last call at the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery, so I can enjoy a few pints of Ubu Ale!î Grzyb finished in 12th place. Another hiker, Matt Hicks was huddled inside to avoid the rain, but he was ready to hit the trail. Hicks hails from Poughkeepsie and is a NYS licensed guide, as well as an accomplished trail runner. He had recently completed a 50 Mile trail run in the Catskills. When asked to predict a time frame for the first event finishers, Hicks estimated it would take about 14.5 hours, due to the rain. He eventually completed the event in eighth place. The inaugural Ultra Saranac Sixer was Lake Placid resident Loring Porter, who rang the bell after tackling the required six local peaks in a time of just 10 hours, 22 minutes. Porter is an accomplished trail athlete who has tackled the Adirondack 46, the 111 Peaks (tallest mountains in the NorthEast), as well as Appalachian Trail, the Continental Divide and the Pacific Crest Trail. He explained: “When I first heard about the Saranac Sixer, I thought it was just silly, those little peaks! Then I thought about it and realized it was going to be hard to do 31 miles all in one go. The water and the rain really made it much tougher. I was the first one on McKenzie and there was a lot of snow up there.î It was nearly 40 minutes later before the next ultra finishers returned, and they were a pair of sisters, Bethany and Mallory Garretson from Cherry Valley near the Catskills. Bethany, who works in Saranac Lake, was joined by her sister for the event. They finished in 11 hours and 10 minutes. Covered in mud and shivering against the cold wind, the two sisters celebrated their accomplishment with friends and family. ñ It was cold up there,î they explained, ñ And there was a lot of snow, and running water on the trails. We we forced to forde several streams. It was a lot tougher than we expected!î I expect the Saranac Sixer program will continue to draw hikers to the smaller peaks, which will certainly benefit the regional tourism based economy. However, I hope the effort will also provide an incentive for local residents to get out and enjoy their surroundings. It will be interesting to see if the accomplishment of becoming a Saranac Sixer is embraced by local youth. Whether it requires climbing a High Peak or tackling a few of the low peaks, paddling the big lake or just a small pond; any opportunity to get outside is worth the effort. If we donÍ t learn to appreciate and take advantage our natural surroundings, there really isnÍ t a lot of entertainment available in the Adirondacks, especially for our youth.
t wasnÍ t that long ago when manure was thought of as a waste product. Recommendations were to dump it over the bank and use commercial fertilizer for crops. Many loads of manure got dumped into streams, so it would wash away. Out of sight, out of mind! Manure may be a biological waste from an animal, but it shouldnÍ t be discarded in a poop-like manner. Cow manure will supply your soil with organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. Manure conBy Rich Redman tains organic matter that is nutrient rich and readily decomposes to release those nutrients over time. One cow averages about 20 tons of manure per year. An application rate of 20 tons of manure per acre is realistic and will provide your soils with many nutrients. Soil, manure or leaf tissue tests will confirm what you need and how much to apply for the crops being grown. The organic matter fraction will improve the cation exchange capacity and possibly the pH of the soil. It has been shown where soils that received manure actually had better tilth and increased pore space. The type of barn and animal housing makes a difference in manure types. Solid manures come from bedded pack, tie stalls and stanchion barns, where chocolate milkshake consistency manure comes from free stall barns. Cattle on pasture use the direct deposit method. They give the cow pie back to the pasture where they just harvested some grass, a fair exchange I believe. How the manure is stored will also make a difference in the amount of nutrients lost or saved. If manure is stored in an earthen pit, concrete tank or large big blue steel tank, the manure is stored without oxygen and will go anaerobic. A crust will form over the top of the manure and the nutrients such as nitrogen will be less likely to volatilize and go into the atmosphere. Fresh liquid manure that is applied to fields should be plowed into the soil as soon as possible. This will help prevent nutrient loss to the atmosphere and from runoff if applied during a rain. The downfall of liquid manure is that along with the loss of nitrogen to the air when spread, there is manure like perfume that fills your senses. To some of us, it is the smell of farmers making a living. To others it is a vile smell and they say, î farmers should not be farming here.î Those folks think their food just magically appears at the store all along thinking: who needs farmers anyway? Most of us know better. Composting manure allows oxygen into the mixture. Aerobic microbe activity reduces the volume of manure due to the breakdown of the organic portion of the manure and the bedding. There is also the loss of moisture through evaporation or leaching during the compost process. Composting manure concentrates the organics and nutrients. Compost should also be incorporated into the soil so you conserve nutrients. Compost is stable, and when applied to the land releases nutrients over time. Composted manure is also food for earthworms and other soil critters. Earthworms are a sign of a healthy soil that has the right amount of oxygen, organic matter, nutrients and moisture. Earthworms improve drainage and the oxygen levels in soil by their burrowing. An added benefit is that the worm casts are rich in nutrients. Did you know that at one time there were wildlife biologists stating that manure should be spread at the upper edges of wetlands on moist soil so it would promote earthworm habitat. Yes, along managed wetlands so there would be a large population of worms for woodcock to eat. Food for the woodcock! I think that is an idea worth pondering. Too many nutrients are a problem, but so is the lack of nutrients. Wildlife management is about habitat, and food is vital to habitat creation. Plants, whether vegetables and fruits for human use, or food plots for wildlife all require nutrients to live. During a plantÍ s growth, the roots absorb nutrients and the plant grows. The growth requires lots of nutrients that come from the soil. When they are harvested, there is a loss of nutrients to the soil. You are depleting the bank account so to speak. You need to feed the soil once again to complete the cycle. The earth giveth and the earth taketh away! This means manure is actually a food for your soil, not a waste product. Those cow pies are really culinary delights for earthworms and soil microbes that are a great benefit to your soil structure, organic matter content and moisture holding capacity. With proper soil and manure management, your soil health will improve. Healthy soils, healthy food, healthy cows, healthy people and a healthy farm economy! The next time you are walking your pasture kicking cow pies, remember itÍ s not just a biological waste product; itÍ s a three course meal along with a dessert for your soil, delivered fresh from the factory. Those bovines are part of the recycling process. They get feed from the plants that get their food from the soil. So order a slice of that cow pie for your plants, worms and microbes to eat, and donÍ t let it wash away. I read an old quote somewhere: ñ A wise man doesnÍ t kick a fresh cow pie.î I think that still holds true today! ItÍ s Memorial Day week, and I want to say ñ welcome homeî to all the Nam vets that never got the welcome home they deserved.

During the Memorial Day weekend, there were more snowflakes than blackflies in the air, after a late spring snowstorm deposited nearly three feet of fresh snow on Whiteface Mountain and the surrounding High Peaks.
The Saranac 6’ers H
eavy rains, strong winds, floods and more than three feet of fresh snow combined to usher in a most memorial, Memorial Day weekend in the Adirondacks. Although the long, holiday weekend has traditionally ushered in the beginning of the tourist season, the foul weather greatly diminished the crowds of hikers, bikers, paddlers and anglers that are typically found out and about. However, there was one major exception to the foul weather rule and it occurred in the village of Saranac Lake where nearly 100 hiking enthusiasts gathered in anticipation of becoming the first wave of Saranac Sixers. The Saranac 6Í ers campaign is a community-based effort that is intended to attract hikers to a few of the ï lower peaksÍ of the Adirondacks. The idea is the brainchild of Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau, who understands the importance of promoting the regionÍ s natural attractions. The campaign provides a climbing standard that is readily available and achievable by the average person. It is a ï minor leagueÍ version of the well established Adirondack 46Í ers. Rather than attempting to tackle all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks, the Saranac 6Í ers campaign requires participants to climb just six local peaks, all of which are within easy striking distance of the community. The six peaks include McKenzie Mountain at 3,861 feet, which requires the longest hike of more than a 10-mile round trip. Ampersand Mountain at 3,261 feet is the next tallest, followed by Scarface Mountain at 3,088 feet elevation, and Haystack at 2,874. St. Regis Mountain in Pauls Smiths stands at 2,865 feet and Mt. Baker, in the village of Saranac Lake is the smallest at 2,452 feet. It also features the shortest hike of only an 1.8 mile round trip. In addition to the many hardcore hikers who took to the trails to set the standard, the Saranac 6Í er Challenge has attracted a lot of local interest as well. I spoke with mother and daughter, Chrissie and Adrian Hayden of Saranac Lake on the morning of the campaignÍ s inaugural launch, who explained: ñ We plan on taking it at an easy pace, climbing just two peaks a day.î Her daughter was obviously excited at the prospect, and she offered: ñ We can see four of the mountains from our house.î ñ ThatÍ s great,î I replied. ñ But the view is much better when you can see your house from the top of the mountains.î While the Saranac 6Í er Campaign will certainly serve to attract ï ultra-hikersÍ who are interested in speed and endurance, I expect the campaign will also prompt many local residents to get out and enjoy some of the surrounding summits that they have long enjoyed from a distance. After climbing all of the six peaks, hikers can register for Saranac 6Í er status on the honor system. They will then be eligible to submit the dates to the village of Saranac Lake to receive an official Saranac Sixers number, a vest patch and a bumper sticker. Participants can attempt a variety of achievements with a Sixer finishing up all six peaks, and an Ultra 6’ers completing all six peaks in a 24-hour time span. Winter 6Í ers will complete all six peaks during the winter season, and Family 6Í ers will do it all as a family. I was in Saranac Lake last Saturday on a cold, wet and windy morning to see how many of the one hundred or so pre-registered 6Í er participants would show up. The wind was whipping the rain sideways as the first few hikers staggered toward the sign-up station. The temperatures continued to drop and so did the rain, as weather conditions worsened throughout the day. By noon, snow had capped the nearby peaks and high winds pum-
