T The Very Merry Players will present Cole Porter’s “Anything  Goes”  Tuesday,  July  30,  at  3  p.m.  on  the  lawn  of  the  Hancock  House. The production, which is free to the public, is sponsored  by the Ticonderoga Historical Society. In the event of rain it will  be held at the Knights of Columbus pavilion. “This  is  a  shining  example  of  classic  musical  theatre,”  Don  Wright, the Very Merry Theatre’s executive director,  said. “The  story concerns wacky antics aboard an ocean liner bound from  New  York  to  London.  There  are  amazing  tap-numbers,  zany  jokes, unlikely happy endings and not to be forgotten songs that  will keep you humming for days. It is a fast-paced, farcical and  kid-friendly performance for children from eight to 80.” The  Very  Merry  Players  is  a  group  of  25  teens  who  aim  to  advance  children’s  literacy  through  the  performance  of  classic  books. June Curtis of the historical society said local high school students have been invited to the program.  “I’ve invited the Ticonderoga High School’s drama club, the  Sentinel Productions, to co-sponsor this event with us,” she said.  “It should be fun for the students to see this peer group production. Amy Crannell, the club adviser, will join us with as many of  the drama students as are available.”  Wright said his performers are anxious to meet their Ticonderoga counterparts. “We’d  love  to  meet  your  high  school  kids  and  share  experi-

Thoughts on Cuomo’s dog-and-pony show

L

et’s be clear — we are grateful to Gov.  Andrew  Cuomo  for  establishing  the  Adirondack  Challenge  Festival.  Local  towns and counties couldn’t afford to buy that  much  publicity  for  our  tourism-dependent  region. For a weekend, the Adirondack Park was  in New York’s limelight, and it felt great. It felt even better for the governor, who was  able  to  award  himself  the  Adirondack  Challenge’s  top  prize  for  winning  the  whitewater  rafting  races  on  Sunday,  July  21  on  the  Indian  River. The Senate came in second. The Assembly third. Come on! Did  they  let  him  win?  Did  he  have  a  head  start?  Were  State  Police  scuba  divers  holding  back the other rafts? We know he had a strong  team  and  a  top-notch  rafting  guide  in  Bone  Bayse of Beaver Brook Outfi tters. But still ... the  governor wins his own challenge? Sounds  fi shy.  We’ll  never  know  the  whole  truth  (the  governor’s  offi ce  isn’t  always  forthcoming with such information). On face value,  it looked like the Adirondack Challenge was one big dog-and-pony show for the governor’s  ego. But we’re OK with that. Maybe  Cuomo  deserved  the  win,  maybe  he didn’t. It doesn’t matter. For the amount of  positive national exposure Cuomo gave the Adirondack  Park,  he  can  have  a  dozen  fi rst-place  paddles. And  if  he  ever  makes  it  to  the  White  House,  he’ll  remember  the  good  times  he  had  in  the  Adirondack  Park.  Maybe  he’ll  set  up  a  summer White House here like Calvin Coolidge  did in 1926 at White Pine Camp in Paul Smiths.  That would be great exposure, too. New  York  governors  have  come  and  gone,  and  most  have  just  ignored  the  Adirondack  Park.  Gov.  George  Pataki  was  a  strong  advocate; heck, he even bought property here in Essex.  And,  like  Pataki,  Cuomo  genuinely  likes  spending  time  in  the  Adirondacks.  He  vacations here with his family, sneaking away from  Albany many times without the expectation of  a  headline  or  a  photo  opportunity.  That,  in  itself, is the best testimonial. Yet  Cuomo,  with  deep  roots  in  New  York  City politics, brings something else to the table  that  other  Adirondack-loving  governors  have  not — the understanding of how to draw attention to this region — get people involved, especially  from  the  downstate  movers  and  shakers

in business and politics. Throw  them  in  a  whitewater  raft  knowing  they’ll  enjoy  the  natural  beauty,  camaraderie  of  a  paddling  team,  the  spirit  of  competitiveness and fun, and give them a cold Adirondack  beer  at  the  end  of  the  day.  Show  them  a  good  time,  and  make  some  memories.  That’s  what  people will remember the most when it comes time to make decisions about this special place  in northern New York. And itÕ s those memories that  will  generate  positive  word-of-mouth  advertising and lead to an increase in tourism. We only hoped the governor would let New  York  City  Mayor  Michael  Bloomberg  win  the  second Adirondack Challenge whitewater rafting race down the Indian River on Monday, July  22.  This  way,  he  would  have  bragged  about  it  for  years,  adding  even  more  word-of-mouth  value to the experience. Instead, the governor’s  competitiveness overpowered his political savvy.  Everyone  has  their  weakness.  Cuomo  just  had to win the second race, too. The  rumblings  of  criticism  about  the  thousands  of  people  who  didn’t  show  up  to  the  Adirondack  Challenge  Festival  in  Indian  Lake  this  past  weekend  are  unfair,  especially  since  there  was  a  good  crowd  of  locals  and  tourists  in town. Expectations may have been too high. We  think  some  people  lost  sight  of  the  real  purpose of the Adirondack Challenge. It wasn’t  to attract tourists for one weekend; it was to attract tourists for many weekends in the future.  Thanks  to  the  free  publicity  and  the  I  Love  NY  advertising  campaign  for  the  Adirondack  Region, we hope to see thousands more tourists  from New York City, Long Island and Westchester County visit these mountains in the months  and years ahead, instead of heading to Vermont,  New Hampshire or Maine for their vacations. All in all, the governor’s publicity stunt was  well worth the time and money, and we thank  him for all the attention. We must also thank the dozens of volunteers  and organizers who hosted the town-wide festival  in  Indian  Lake  for  their  time,  hard  work  and  hospitality.  They  were  somewhat  overshadowed by the governor, but they played one  of the most important roles over the weekend.  They  showed  the  visitors  a  good  time,  as  they  always  do,  with  a  smile  and  a  “Come  back  again soon.” Ñ

Letters to the Editor

To the Times of Ti:

Thanks so much for your excellent recent opinion piece (editorial July 13) on the problem of childhood hunger in our area!   This is a disturbing and growing problem and I hope your editorial will draw the much deserved attention this problem needs. The  Kiwanis  BackPack  Program  has  been  and  will  continue  to  be  an  effort  to  remedy  childhood  hunger  on  weekends  during the school year in Ticonderoga and Crown Point. However,  the next question that most people ask after they understand the  mission  of  the  BackPack  Program  is,  “What  happens  to  these  children in the summertime?” The  re-establishment  of  the  Ticonderoga  summer  youth  program was an effort focused primarily on helping to address the  childhood hunger problem in the summer months. However, it  has been diffi cult to get the message out that Ticonderoga is an  open site and that the free food is available to all children age 18  and under. This is distinctly the extra added bonus of starting up  the summer program once again. Thanks again for emphasizing that aspect of the program. John Bartlett, president Ticonderoga Kiwanis

Stand your ground

Mural praised To the Times of Ti:

We  just  wanted  to  congratulate  and  thank  those  persons  responsible for painting the beautiful mural in downtown Ticonderoga.  We are fairly new to the area and have noticed a great  energy in the town.   It is our understanding that the mural project took months to  develop and we appreciate the efforts of those who persevered  and kept the project alive. Kudos to: Mary Ann Andrusko and her daughter, Keeley, who attended  meeting after meeting, funded the project and climbed the scaffolding with paint brushes in hand.   Jay’s  Sunoco,  for  cooperating  with  the  operation  and  for  donating to the project. Ticonderoga student artists for their mural designs Vincent  Smith  for  his  help  in  choosing  the  right  colors  and  helping during the painting weekend. Jim  Beaty  for  enlarging  the  artists  rendition  to  scale  and  for  helping with the painting. Seddon Beaty and Patty Morehouse for climbing the scaffolding and painting along with Mary Ann and her daughter. Bill Best for supplying the project with scaffolding and moving it fi ve different times during the project. Aubuchon Hardware for supplying the paint at cost. Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and Chattie Van Wert for  spearheading the project, keeping the discussion alive during the  planning stages and seeing it through its completion.   It’s a beautiful mural and all of those involved should be congratulated.  It is amazing to see what can be accomplished when  everyone works together. Many thanks and congratulations to all those involved. Mariann and Randy Rapple Ticonderoga

To the Times of Ti:

Why  didn’t  “Stand  your  ground”  apply  to  Trayvon  Martin?  Trayvon was a 17-year-old teen-ager, not an adult. Trayvon  was  unarmed, he was terrifi ed with only his fi sts to protect him.  Zimmerman did not fear for his life, he had a gun. Because of  Zimmerman’s anger over past circumstances he shot and killed  and unarmed teen-ager. Zimmerman, the aggressor, acting as a  vigilanty. He was not a law offi cer. If the jury had not had their  hands  tied  with  only  the  facts  they  were  allowed  to  use,  Zimmerman would have been given a different verdict. He would be  serving time for fi rst degree murder! Trayvon  was  trying  to  get  home.  Trayvon  was  unarmed,  he  was terrifi ed. Trayvon was fi ghting for his life, he was “standing  his ground!”  Rhea Belden Ticonderoga

Ti visitor pleased To the Times of Ti:

As a great number of families in the area, my family enjoys the  Fourth of July in Ticonderoga. My family has found going from  Whitehall to Ticonderoga by boat most memorable. My brother,  nephew  and  I  started  the  trip  north  but  I  had  to  turn  around  having engine troubles. Two of my passengers go into the other  two boats. When I got back to the South Bay boat launch, my fi ancée and  I not wanting to miss the fi reworks, stated to Ticonderoga in our  car. Finding  a  parking  lot  close  to  the  action  and  it  being  dark,  I  was  more  than  happy  to  pay  $5  for  the  privilege.  Reaching  for  my wallet I was surprised to fi nd it gone. My lady had to pay. I thought it may be home in the pants I was wearing earlier in  the day. Not fi nding it I was sure it had fallen out of my pocket  when I was having engine trouble. Having hope beyond hope, I  tore my house apart, but no luck. To  my  surprise  on  July  9  I  received  a  phone  call  from  the  Whitehall  Police  Department  that  the  Ticonderoga  Police  Department had my wallet with all the contents still there. It is great to know that we live in an area where good people  still  live.  It’s  possible  that  other  areas  in  the  state  I  might  have  had a similar outcome, but I prefer the great Northeast. God Bless America.

Physical activity guidelines To the Times of Ti:

School  vacations,  backyard  barbeques,  and  lazy  days  –  all  signs of summer. However, summer is also a great time for children  to  be  active. An  estimated  one  in  three  children  are  overweight or obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and  Prevention.  Physical  inactivity  has  been  linked  to  an  increased  risk of obesity- related illnesses such as type two diabetes, high  blood pressure, heart disease, and certain cancers. Type two diabetes and high blood pressure, usually thought of as adult disease, are now showing up in youth. The US Department of Health and Human Services’ Physical  Activity  Guidelines  for  children  recommend  one  hour  or  more  of  physical  activity  every  day.  This  hour  of  active  play  can  be  broken up in to smaller segments for families who have a busier  schedule,  but  the  key  is  to  fi nd  an  activity  that  kids  will  enjoy  doing. Some kids may love to bike around their neighborhoods  with their friends, others may enjoy swimming, extreme Frisbee,  or just going to their local park to play on the equipment.  We all have a role helping our kids grow to be healthy, strong  adults. Several of the area’s Recreation departments feature summer activities that kids can get involved with for free, or a small  fee. Access  to  this  information  can  be  found  by  going  through  your town’s website, or the town hall. Parents are an important  infl uence on kids in staying active by modeling appropriate behavior. Going out and playing soccer or staying active with our  kids is a great start to lasting memories and healthier bodies for  children and adults alike.

IP helps out To the Times of Ti:

We are writing today to offer recognition and appreciation to  International  Paper  Company’s  outdoor  miscellaneous  department.  In  May  2013,  they  were  kind  enough  to  help  us  with  a  campus  project  which  could  not  have  been  completed  without  their support. We are very appreciative of their dedication to the  greater  Ticonderoga  community  and  their  willingness  to  help  out a neighbor in need.

fred@denpubs.com  TICONDEROGA — Battlefi eld  music  will  fi ll  the  air  as  Fort  Ticonderoga hosts its annual Fife & Drum Corps Muster. The muster, which will feature fi ve different corps, will be held  Saturday, July 27, at the fort.  A twilight performance at 7 p.m.  on the fort parade ground will conclude the muster. Tickets for  the evening program are $10. Children 4 years and younger and  Friends of Fort Ticonderoga are free.  The  fort’s  annual  clambake  will  also  be  held  that  day  3  to  6  p.m. “The  Fife  &  Drum  Corps  Muster  highlights  the  role  fi fe  &  drum music has played in the commemoration of American history,” Beth Hill, Fort Ti president and CEO, said. “Fife & drum  corps  gained  increased  popularity  during  the  American  bicentennial  celebrations.  In  18th  -century  military  life,  fi fes  and  drums  served  as  one  of  the  primary  modes  of  battlefi eld  communication and camp regulation.” Fort Ticonderoga formed its fi rst fi fe & drum corps in 1926 on  the  eve  of  the  150th  anniversary  celebration  of American  Independence. “The corps performed at the fort each summer until the beginning of World War II,” Hill said. “When the World’s Fair came  to New York City in 1939, the Fort Ti Fife & Drum Corps was a  featured performer on May 10, Fort Ticonderoga Day, celebrating  the 164th anniversary of the capture of the Fort by Ethan Allen,  Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys. “In 1973, in preparation for the bicentennial, Fort Ticonderoga

revived the fi fe & drum corps to perform daily during the fort’s  summer season,” she added. “The fi fe and drum corps has performed  every  year  since  and  has  been  featured  performers  at  many major public events including the 1980 Lake Placid Winter  Olympic  Games,  the  christening  of  the  U.S.  Navy  Guided  Missile Cruiser USS Ticonderoga CG-47, and several Evacuation Day  parades in Boston, Mass.” Today the Fort Ticonderoga Fife & Drum Corps is comprised  of Ticonderoga area high school students who are paid employees of Fort Ticonderoga.   “The fi fe & drum corps is part of Fort Ticonderoga’s interpretive  department  whose  focus  brings  to  life  Fort  Ticonderoga’s  specifi c  history  through  daily  interpretive  programs,  historic  trades and special events,” Hill said. Several Fort Ti Fife & Drum Corps alumni will take part in the  annual muster. Joining  the  Fort  Ti  Fife  &  Drum  Corps  in  the  muster  will  be  the 3rd New Jersey Field Music, The Fifes and Drums of the Lincoln Minutemen, The Deep River Junior Ancient Fife and Drum  Corps and Hanaford’s Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps and The  Fifes and Drums of Fort Ticonderoga.

Essex County OKs Lake George law  TICONDEROGA — Essex County enacted an invasive species  transport  law  for  Lake  George  at  its  regular  monthly  board  of  supervisors  meeting  July  1.    The  law  takes  effect  immediately.   The law applies only to the portion of the Lake George basin that  lies within Essex County.   Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender of Ticonderoga testifi ed at the public hearing held prior to the meeting Monday.  “We are grateful to the board of supervisors and, in particular,  to Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney for your leadership and

commitment to this issue,”  Lender stated.  “Invasive species are  a growing threat to all waterways in the county, and particularly  Lake George.  They are expensive to manage and we simply do  not have the capability to control any new introductions, so this  law helps prevent their spread between water bodies.”  The Lake George Association manages the Lake Steward program  which  inspects  boats  entering  and  leaving  Lake  George.   Stewards  are  stationed  at  Mossy  Point  boat  launch  in  Ticonderoga,  which  is  the  only  public  boat  launch  on  Lake  George  in  Essex  County.   Approximately  four  miles  of  Lake  George  is  in  Essex county. Warren  County’s  Chester  Town  Supervisor  and  head  of  the  legislative committee for Warren County Fred Monroe championed the passage of a similar law in Warren County and encouraged Essex County to take up the invasive species transport law.   Most of Lake George lies within Warren County.

Annual Notification to Ticonderoga Municipal Water and Sewer Users The Town of Ticonderoga would like to remind municipal sewer users to verify that their homeowner’s policy includes coverage for sewer back-ups. The homeowner is responsible for water and sewer laterals from their home to the town owned mains. Heavy rainfall events could put your home at risk for sewer back-ups due to a combined sewer/storm water system. Insurance for sewer back-ups is not normally included in a standard policy and may require the purchase of a rider to your homeowner’s policy. Your insurance agent can make recommendations on the type and amount of coverage that you may need. Additional safeguards to further protect your home are to ensure you have a water turn off located at the main connection in your home, a check valve on your sewer lateral and a back flow preventer on your water lateral.

Veterans court operating in county By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com   ICONDEROGA — Hero to zero. T It’s a saying among many veterans, especially for those who come from military service and  run afoul of the law. “It  can  be  very  diffi cult  for  young  veterans,  especially  in  today’s  economy,”  said  Harry  Treadway,  a  Vietnam  veteran  who  is  Essex  County  Veterans  Court  mentor  coordinator.  “They  come  home  and  can’t  fi nd  a  job.  They  have  too  much  time  on  their  hands,  so  they  drink a little too much and get into some trouble.” Treadway, a Ticonderoga resident, and others  hope the new Essex County Veterans Court can  help those who have served their nation.

Wild Character My Favorite Marten

“Bubblemania” will come to Ticonderoga Wednesday, July 31, as part of the Ticonderoga Festival Guild’s Arts Trek series for children.

‘Bubblemania’ slated in Ti ‘Love Letters’ to be performed TICONDEROGA — “Bubblemania” will come to Ticonderoga Wednesday, July 31, as part of the  Ticonderoga Festival Guild’s Arts Trek series for children. Casey Carle will present the program at 10:15 a.m. The program, normally held outside, will be  held inside the Knights of Columbus because the wind can affect the bubble program. Carle grew up in Greene, graduated cum laude from SUNY-Geneseo with a bachelor of arts in  drama, and then from the Ringling Bros. Clown College with a bachelor of fun arts.  His act was the first-of-its-kind bubble act for Ringling Bros. Circus in 1989. He acted as consultant for Cirque du Soleil on soapbubble based routines and scenes. He has been featured on The  Discovery Channel and been a guest on the Science Channel with Michio Kaku. He has received  numerous awards and accolades. Arts Trek programs are presented free to the community by donors and sponsors. The sponsor of  this Arts Trek is the Rotary Club of Northern Lake George. The Arts Treks are supported by grants from the Southern Lake Champlain Fund of the Vermont  Community Trust, the International Paper Foundation, Essex Co. Dept. of Youth, North Country  Cultural  Center  for  the Arts  (DEC),  Charles  R.  Wood  Foundation,  Honeybee  Community  Fund,  Wal-Mart Foundation, by donations from the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union and from Stewart’s  Shops, and by individual donors.

The American Marten, a happy-go-lucky round-eared, bushy-tailed, slender weasel, is often confused with its cousin, the Pine Marten, because it likes to party among the pines. Its rich, silky fur varies in color from pale yellow to nearly black. By 1892, when the Adirondack Park was created, trapping had www.exploringnature.org nearly erased the marten from the Northeast. New York’s now-healthy population rebounded from a feisty isolated group that survived in the northern Adirondack Park. Martens give weasels a good name: they dine happily on rodents, bugs, amphibians, and reptiles. Another great reason we’re so...

‘Love Letters’ “Love Letters,” a play by A. R. Gurney, will be presented at the Downtown Gallery three times.  It will be performed Wednesday, July 31, at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 13, at 2 p.m. and Wednesday  Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m. The drama, which highlights letters written by the two protagonists from second grade through  adulthood,  was  presented  twice in March. The two lead roles  are  played  by  Vincent  Smith  of  Hague  and  Kathleen  Recchia  of  Jay,  both  experienced  actors  with  a  variety  of  roles behind them. Admission  to  the  play  is  free,  but  donations  will  be  requested to help defray the cost  of production.  It is sponsored by the Ticonderoga  Festival  Guild  and  the  50797 Ticonderoga  Cultural Arts  Initiative.

newsenterprise@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s extended weekend  in northern Hamilton County for the fi rst-ever Adirondack Challenge Festival was fruitful for him and for the region.  The governor’s team took away the two top whitewater rafting  prizes  Sunday  and  Monday,  July  21  and  22,  and  the  state’s  media  was  focused  on  the  Adirondack  Park  the  entire  time,  something Cuomo intended as a boost to local tourism. The governor was accompanied by a large contingent of politicians (state, county and local), executive aides, rafting professionals  and  press,  all  supported  by  a  cadre  of  volunteers  from  Indian Lake. This all started with a mention by Cuomo in January’s State of the State address.  As many had hoped, Indian Lake  became the selected venue, being billed as the state’s “Whitewater Capital.” For several weeks, the town of Indian Lake pulled together all  its government and community resources in preparation for the  event.  This  effort  was  driven  by  a  number  of  motives,  not  the  least  of  which  was  community  pride  and  a  desire  to  showcase  the town to the visiting dignitaries, press and public in the best  possible light, while enjoying the fruits of the event’s ability to  increase recognition and tourism within the town. A few saw the event as the “magic bullet” that would go a long  way to solving many of the town’s perceived shortcomings, but  most were more realistic and longer-term in their thinking. During his address at the July 21 award ceremony held at the  Gore  Mountain  ski  center  in  North  Creek  after  the  river  run,  Cuomo defi ned his objective. “I want to get the word out about the Adirondacks,” Cuomo  said. “People just don’t know what we have… all we have to do  is show them … you can’t fi nd this any where else on the globe.”  And, the governor put his back into accomplishing this objective.  The “race” ran a mere 3-mile section of the Indian River and  was not expected to take much more than 25 minutes. All along  the route, cameras were fl ashing and videos were recording the  beauty of the scenery and the fun being had by all participants  along the way.  Footage of the area surrounding Indian Lake was  taken  from  the  air.  It  was  a  well-oiled  publicity  machine  being  focused on the whitewater and paddling opportunities that exist  in  this  beautiful  and  pristine  part  of  the Adirondack  Region  of  New York state. On  Monday  morning,  CBS  Morning  News  was  giving  the  event, the Adirondacks and the governor national broadcast coverage that included a mention of the town of Indian Lake. State Sen. Betty Little was very pleased with Cuomo’s efforts. “I will be the fi rst to admit that when I fi rst heard of the idea, I  thought that the governor was joking, but it was no joke,” Little  said. “The governor follows through on what he says he will do.”   Little went on to describe the governor as the No. 1 fan of the  Adirondacks. “He  understands  the  need  for  help  to  turn  the  Adirondacks  around,” Little said. “What do you think this level of publicity  would cost? It just does not get any better than this.” Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Farber

showed the governor around Indian Lake over the weekend, accompanying him to the Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department  barbecue  on  Saturday,  July  20.  During  the  award  ceremony  at  Gore on July 21, Farber called for more Adirondack Challenges  in the future with activities such as mountain biking and fi shing.  “We need to fi nd more opportunities to link our counties together,” Farber said. Regarding a spirit of cooperation that leads to the success of  the  region  and  all  its  parts,  Farber  noted  that  the  Adirondack  Challenge  was  held  in  three  counties:  rafts  launched  in  Indian  Lake in Hamilton County, the rafts pulled out of the Indian River  in Minerva in Essex County, and the award ceremonies in North  Creek in Warren County. During his closing remarks July 21, Cuomo also touched on a  theme of cooperation and pulling together when discussing the  well-known economic needs of the counties and small towns of  the Adirondack region. ”For good times or bad times, nobody comes together like the  people in this state,” Cuomo said.   Like  the  dam  opening  on  Abanakee  Lake,  the  Adirondack  Challenge  was  seen  by  many  as  providing  a  “bubble”  of  sorts.  In  all  likelihood,  this  event,  if  joined  with  other  similar  efforts  on the part of state and county governments, will increase tourism and possibly have an effect on improving the economy and  adding jobs in the long term. It is certainly true that efforts at levels above the individual towns  may provide the bubble of water  to  fl oat  upon,  but  the  real  Adirondack  challenge    is  up  to  communities  and  groups  of  communities to learn how best  to take advantage of the bubble  by cooperating and pulling together in guiding the boat that  is the Adirondacks.

Cuomo launches new ad campaign shawn@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN  —  Coinciding  with  the inaugural “Adirondack Challenge,” Gov.  Andrew  Cuomo’s  offi ce  has  launched  a  new  television advertisement prominently featuring the Adirondack region as a destination for  outdoor tourist activities.  The  ad  is  part  of  a  $60  million  campaign  launched  in  May,  aimed  at  growing  New  York state industry, creating jobs and attracting tourists to the state.  “With  more  than  2,000  miles  of  hiking  trails,  3,000  lakes  and  ponds  and  stunning  natural wonders, the Adirondacks and North  Country  make  for  the  perfect  summer  escape,” Cuomo said in a press release. The  ad  features  Adirondack  guides  from  different  disciplines  singing  the  praises  of  the Adirondacks while participating in the activities they love. The ad opens with shots  of whitewater rafters and hikers, along with a

view of a picturesque Adirondack lake, while  an  announcer  declares:  “This  summer,  New  York’s  Adirondacks  and  North  Country  are  back and open for business.” The initiative is aimed at helping the region  continue to recover from Hurricane Irene and  Tropical Storm Lee two years ago.  “I  think  it’s  a  tremendous  initiative,”  said  Greg  Borzilleri,  owner  of  Mirror  Lake  Boat  Rentals in Lake Placid. A  clip  of  Borzilleri  paddling  a  stand-uppaddleboard on Mirror Lake appears in the ad. “To  native  New  Yorkers,  my  message  is  simple:  ‘there’s  no  reason  to  leave  the  state  this  summer’  and  to  everyone  else  looking  for the perfect summer getaway, I say, ‘come  experience the Adirondacks and North Country,’” Cuomo continued in the release.   “The  governor  is  obviously  very  friendly  to  the  North  Country.  I  think  it’s  great  that  they’re  trying  to  get  the  people  from  downstate (to) upstate ... keep it in the family is my  theory,” Borzelleri said.

DAR makes donation for historic marker By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point is fi nally getting credit for its  role in a key Revolutionary War event. The  New  York  State  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  have donated $2,000 for a bronze historic marker to be erected at  the Crown Point State Historic Site. The marker, to be placed by  the Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site, will note Crown  Point  as  the  beginning  of  the  “Knox  Trail,”  also  known  as  the  artillery trail. “It is a pleasure for me to present our $2,000 contribution that  we would like Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site to use  to erect a historic marker, to complete the artillery (Knox) trail by  noting  the  capture  at  Crown  Point  of  111  artillery  pieces,”  said  Denise Doring VanBuren, New York State DAR Regent. “We are  truly delighted to have this opportunity to support your important work in telling this chapter in America’s story.” In  1775,  Gen.  George  Washington  arrived  in  Boston,  taking  command  of  the  army.  There  he  met  and  developed  a  friendship with Col. Henry Knox, an expert on colonial artillery. Knox  suggested to Washington that 50 cannon captured by American  forces at Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, be brought to Boston. Using barges, bateaux and oxen-driven sleds, Knox led the  march to deliver the artillery. In March 1776, Washington seized Dorchester Heights outside  Boston and Knox placed the cannon in position there. Realizing  the threat of an impending American bombardment, the British  withdrew  from  the  city.  The  next  day  triumphant  Americans  claimed the city. “While just about everyone knows that on May 10, 1775, Benedict Arnold, Ethan Allen and 83 Green Mountain Boys captured  Ticonderoga and its 78 pieces of heavy artillery, few know that  the  very  next  day  100  Green  Mountain  Boys,  led  by  Seth  Warner, likewise liberated nearby Crown Point from British control,”  Mathew Anderson, president of the Friends of Crown Point State  Historic  Site,  said.  “On  May  15,  Allen  and  Arnold  arrived  at  Crown  Point  and  ordered  militiamen  to  inventory  and  salvage  materials that survived a 1773 fi re.  The greatest prize — 111 cannon, of which 65 were immediately usable — were inventoried at  Crown Point, along with tons of cannon balls and musket balls.” Twenty-nine of the 59 cannon transported from Lake Champlain to South Boston that winter originated at Crown Point.   “Shortly  before  Henry  Knox  arrived  at  Ticonderoga  in  December to move heavy cannon  a  great  distance,  patriots  prepared  for  his  arrival  by  selecting  29  cannon  at  Crown  Point  to  be  hauled  to  Ticonderoga  where they would join 30 cannon  picked  from  among  those  already there,” Anderson said.  “Upon  arrival,  troops  serving  under  Henry  Knox  undertook  the grueling task of moving the  captured cannon. Ò So when one considers that very  nearly  half  of  the  artillery  pieces  hauled  from  Lake  Champlain  forts  to  South  Boston  came  from  Crown  Point,  one  realizes  that  the  actual  starting  point  of  the  historic  artillery  (Knox)  trail  is  Crown  Point,  even  though  there  is  no  bronze marker placed there yet

to  declare  that  fact,”  Anderson said. This spring DAR members  from  the  Hudson  Valley  region  visited  the  Crown  Point  State  Historic  Site. “They  came  to  see  the  point  from  which  Hudson Valley troops,  commanded  by  Gens.  Richard  Montgomery  and  Philip  Schuyler,  New York State Regent for the Daughters departed  to  invade  of the American Revolution Denise Doring British  Canada,”  An- VanBuren presents a $2,000 check to Tom Hughes, manager of Crown Point State derson  said.  “After  Historic Site, on behalf of the site’s friends several  victories,  the  group. The money will be used for a bronze army  from  eastern  historic marker that will note Crown Point as New York was joined the beginning of the “Knox Trail,” also known in Canada by Benedict  as the artillery trail. Arnold’s  force,  which  had  marched  through  the forests of Maine for an attack on Québec City.  That assault  failed. Montgomery was killed, Arnold wounded and the Americans were forced to retreat.” While visiting Crown Point, the DAR members learned of the  site’s role in the delivery of artillery to Boston in 1775-76. They  decided  to  donate  the  money  for  a  historic  marker  to  note  the  event. “The elected trustees of Friends of Crown Point State Historic  Site  are  delighted  to  accept  this  very  generous  designated  gift  and are eager to use it to pay for a new bronze marker that, when  erected at Crown Point, will at last complete the famous 1775 –  1776 artillery trail,” Anderson said. The non-profi t Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site was  incorporated  by  the  Regents  of  the  State  of  New  York  in  1985.   The  friends  group,  working  closely  with  site  management,  provides  support  of  the  site’s  mission  to  preserve  its  history  and to serve the visiting public.   For  more  information  go  online  at  www.FriendsOfCrownPoint.org

Schroon Lake woman authors book SCHROON LAKE — A family tragedy has led a Schroon Lake woman to pen a book. Randi (Vander Wiele) Stump has authored “The Dark Stretch: A Young Wife’s Miraculous Ride from Darkness to Light.” The book tells the story of Randi and Graham Stump. Graham Stump was critically injured in a rodeo accident in 2010. The book details his recovery, the accident’s impact on his family and the support of the local community. “We are not promised an easy life,” Randi Stump said. “In fact, the Bible tells us that life is going to be hard, with tough situations and decisions to make all the time. I want people to be encouraged by my story, that with Christ you can face these hard times, these storms in life, head on with his help. He will give you just the right amount of trust and faith to face that next terrifying minute that comes ticking your way. We just have to ask him.” The book also discusses Randi’s life in Schroon Lake. Her family owns and operates Mountain Petroleum in Schroon Lake. “I also talk about growing up in the Adirondacks...their beauty and the adventures I had as a child on horseback,” she said. Randi, who holds a degree in equine science and management from SUNY-Morrisville, was leading the horsemanship program at Word of Life in 2010. Graham, also a horse enthusiast, assisted Randi with the weekly rodeo at Word of Life Ranch. “On July 30, he (Graham) competed in a roping event, and after lassoing the steer, dallying off the rope to the horn of his saddle, his best horse, lost his footing and went down,” Randi recalled. “Both horse and rider slammed into the arena floor with Graham’s head taking the full force of the fall. He was knocked out immediately, his feet still secure in the stirrups. “His horse was fine with only a piece of leather strapping

breaking in the fall, but Graham was far from OK,” she continued. “He was flown down to Albany Medical where he was incubated  and  remained  unconscious.    He  sustained  a  traumatic  brain injury and a broken back.” Doctors did not expect Graham to make a full recovery.  “What  was  so  heart  wrenching  about  our  story  to  people  is  that I was not given good news about his recovery,” Randi said.  “I was told he may be able to one day breathe on his own, but  that would be about it.” Graham was in a coma for three weeks.  “And  then  he  started  to  do  something  no  one  thought  he  would  do—he  started  to  open  his  eyes,”  Randi  said.  “He  was  transported to Sunnyview Rehabilitation hospital where he had  to learn how to do everything all over again — breathe, swallow,  chew, sit up, balance, move his limbs and eventually walk.” After  seven  weeks  of  rehabilitation,  Graham  returned  home.  He eventually returned to his job at Mountain Petroleum in Schroon Lake. “He  has  double  vision  and  has  to  wear  glasses  to  help  with  that,” Randi said of Graham’s current condition. “His depth perception is bad, causing balance issues at times. His left side was  most affected from it, his arm doesn’t quite flex and bend like it  used to. And he has memory issues.” Helping Randi and Graham through the ordeal was their community. “The community and church were so supportive,” Randi said.  “Everyone  here  knows  Graham  and  our  family,  and  I  couldn’t  be more proud of them. Our local church in Olmstedville, Grace  Bible  Fellowship  with  Pastor  Chad  Haneman,  led  the  way  by  truly showing Christ to everyone around them.  They made us  meals, watched my kids, gave monetarily to us, organized fund  raisers, sent me cards and letters, visited me in the ICU.  Mostly  they prayed for me, which was huge.” Also helping Randi cope was a blog she started to chronicle her husband’s recovery. That blog became the basis of her book. “We all have a story to tell,” Randi said. “We all have the possibility of facing hard times, it’s just when and how it will look  personally.  After  my  husband,  Graham,  was  injured,  the  out-

Bulwagga Bay project set for 2013 completion Engineer selected; bids being prepared By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Work to save the Bulwagga Bay shoreline will be completed in 2013. “It has to be done,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The town board can’t sit back and let that shoreline erode. It’s a black and white issue; there’s no gray area. It has to be done. “It’s a huge revenue source for the community,” he said of Bulwagga Bay. “It’s the most important piece of real estate the town owns. We can’t sit by and watch it disappear.” The town board has selected AES Northeast of Plattsburgh to prepare an engineering plan for the project. AES was the low bidder at $29,501. Once the engineering plans are complete, the town will seek construction bids with work expected to begin this fall with completion by the end of the year. The town-owned beach and campsite on Lake Champlain is being damaged by Lake Champlain

erosion. Without action the public beach and 175-site  campground will be lost. “We’re  losing  6  to  10  feet  of  beach  a  year,”  Scozzafava said. “We’re losing the beach; we’re losing the  campground.” The  shoreline  has  moved  back  25  to  40  feet  since  1995, according to the Adirondack Park Agency. Realizing the problem three years ago, local leaders secured permits from the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build three  revetments made of half-ton rocks reaching into Lake  Champlain  to  combat  the  erosion.  The  revetments  are 4,080, 4,110 and 4,670 square feet in size, and the  beach  end  of  each  will  be  enveloped  in  landscaped  trees and shrubs. Those permits expire at the end of 2013, so the project must be completed this year.  The  Bulwagga  Bay  erosion  project  is  expected  to  cost $350,000. “We’re on the clock to complete this project,” Scozzafava said. “Those permits expire this year and we  have to finish the work.” Bulwagga  Bay  generated  $302,000  in  revenue  for  the town in 2012, Scozzafava said. The $120,000 profit

is being used to off-set 2013 local taxes. The campsite remains popular. This summer 160 of  the 175 sites have been leased for the season. “Most  campers  today  settle  in  for  the  season,”  Scozzafava  said.  “Seasonals  are  our  bread  and  butter.” The  campsite  has  already  lost  10  lakefront  campsites to erosion, Scozzafava said. That’s $20,000 a year  in revenue. The  supervisor  also  pointed  out  the  campground  and  beach  have  economic  impact  on  the  business  community. Ò The people at the campsite and beach stop at stores,  restaurants,  gas  stations,”  Scozzafava  said.  “They spend money in the community. “Bulwagga Bay is important to our local economy,”  he  added.  “It  attracts  tourists,  it  provides  local  jobs  and it plays a role in our economic development.” After the project is finished it will  require annual  monitoring of erosion and water levels on the beach.  The town will be allowed to fill in — or “re-nourish”  —  areas  above  the  revetments  where  any  erosion  takes place.

Cheney Mountain photo wins contest

MORIAH — Barbara Richards of Salt Lake City, Utah, always  wanted to visit the Adirondacks, but she didn’t know anybody  there. That  didn’t  deter  her  from  hopping  on  a  train,  getting  off  in  Port  Henry,  and  walking  into  the  Collins  Motel  where  she  met  Janet Denney, Rita Collins and Lynda Smythe.  Several days later,  the new friends hiked the nearby Cheney Mountain Trail where  Denney  took  a  picture  that  tied  for  first  place  in  the  inaugural  Champlain Area Trails Photo and Caption Contest.  Her picture  shows  the  view  and  her  caption  describes  a  chance  encounter  which allowed a “stranger to become a friend.” The other first place winner was Aran Voss Hutchins of Westport,  who  captured  a  Snowberry  Clearwing  Moth  on  the  Black  Kettle Nature Trail in Essex.  She first thought the moth was the  largest  bumblebee  she  had  ever  seen.    It  was  3-4  inches  long,  perched in the grass, and was just “one of these little jewels we  are so lucky to have all around us if we take the time to look.”    The two winners split the $250 first place prize. Chris Maron, executive director for CATS, awarded the prizes  to  these  two  winners  along  with  the  People’s  Choice  prize  of  $100 to Melissa Maki, of Willsboro.   Maki’s photo of her three dogs, perched on a log along a CATS  trail  was  accompanied  by  a  poem  describing  how  people  and  their pets can enjoy exploring the area’s woods and meadows.   CATS  held  the  photo  contest,  along  with  the  previous  travel  writing contests with the purpose of promoting economic vitality through outdoor recreation based tourism.  “People research vacation destinations online, so as they look  into visiting the northeast, we want them to see articles and pictures  about  New  York’s  Champlain  Valley  and  get  inspired  to  come  here,  enjoy  the  outdoors,  patronize  local  businesses,  and  tell others about this beautiful area,” Maron said. “We are grateful to the J.C. Kellogg Foundation for underwriting this contest.” Winning photos are available online at www.champlainareatrails.com

Janet Denney’s photo of Barbara Richards atop Cheney Mountain won first place in the inaugural Champlain Area Trails Photo and Caption Contest.

HAGUE — HITS  Triathlon  Series  offered  one  of  the  most  challenging courses of their series in Hague June 29. Touted as  the hardest course in the country by full distance winner Adam  Folts, 27, of Phoenix, Arizona, he still admitted it with a smile. “These courses were some of the most scenic I have ever seen,”  he added.

HITS promotes that aspect well. My wife is a triathlete also and  she  will  be  with  me  when  I  race  at  [HITS]  Palm  Springs,”  said  Folts. Marie-Claude Ayotte, 34, from Quebec led the women in the  Sprint distance race Sunday. She crossed the line in 1:30:26. “This  was  my  first  overall  win  and  a  great  experience,”  she  said. “There were a lot of hills on the bike, but I loved every mile  – the bike is my strongest part and this was one of my favorite  courses.” After  competing  in  triathlons  for  two  years,  this  weekend  marked  the  first  time  Marie-Claude  stood  at  the  top  of  the  podium.  “I loved this race – it was a complete package,” she said. The event attracted 379 athletes.

he last few years before I retired, I would see a bunch  of guys at my morning coffee stop and I would mention I had two years to go, and then the countdown  was to one year, with retirement in sight. Some of the guys  would  say:  “you  won’t  be  happy  retired,  you’ll  get  bored,  there’s nothing to do.” Since I retired, my feet have been in high gear doing anything and everything. I am so busy I don’t have time to get  bored.  Besides  my  wildlife,  conservation  and  grazing  management  consulting  business,  I  am  working  on  my  50-acre  woodlot, fi xing up the roads, installing an outhouse, repairing an old log cabin, and trying to manage the woodlot that  was cut off about fi ve years ago. Managing a woodlot is an adventure. You need to be part  By Rich Redman forester, part road builder and part wildlife management artist. One other skill needed is not being afraid of hard physical work, especially on hot steamy days, like we have had lately. With all the talk about diabetes  and health problems these days I think we need to get more people off their butts. They need to  start cutting and chopping down trees, splitting and stacking fi rewood. That is one sure way to  burn off that extra energy, get in better shape, and have fuel to warm your cabin in the winter.  That’s my prescription for day! Hard physical work and lots of water cleans the body, and the  mind! You will have no trouble sleeping either; guaranteed! I have been hauling gravel to the property to get my main haul and access road usable so I  can get to the cabin and prepare for the upcoming hunting season. My pickup, dump trailer and  small 30 HP New Holland tractor, are doing the work. The loads are not large using the dump  trailer, but they are getting the job done. One by one, potholes and spongy spots on the old road  are slowly being repaired and restored for vehicle use. Culverts will be replaced where the old  ones were damaged by the previous logging operation. The cabin will be ready, fi rewood cut and  the main road in good shape by fall. Once  I  get  the  roads  completed,  it’s  time  to  start  the  woodlot  management  aspect  of  forest  ownership. I have a background in soils, conservation and forestry, so I will do my own timber  cruise and management plan, but I am also bringing in a few friends who are foresters and/or  sawmill operators by profession to give me some advice, and hopefully some tips on markets  and timber values. You learn more by shutting up and listening than by yacking away constantly.  As I have mentioned previously, a man must know his limitations. The woodlot has hemlock, white cedar, red maple, white pine, balsam fi r, some sugar maple  and other species. I should be able to supply a farm or two with cedar fence posts, and have the  larger diameter ones milled out for boards. First comes grading and shaping the skidder haul roads, then the salvage work, cleaning up  downed trees that were left behind, or blown over by the storms and thinning as I go. My goal  is to be able to drive around all the roads on my tractor to harvest fi rewood and forest products  so I can offset the taxes and recover fuel costs and other associated costs of forest management. I  will be managing on a tree by tree basis, where I will evaluate what will be cut and what will be  left based on future use. The few sugar maples I have will be managed for maple sugar production in the future. I will open up around them by thinning and doing improvement cuts so they  branch out and develop a full spreading crown. They may not make good saw logs but the added  branching will produce maple sap for sugar production in the future. Existing openings will be  managed for early successional habitat and browse for deer. Wild apple trees will be planted and  in time crab apples will provide grouse some chow. The timber species will be managed for saw logs as much as possible. Managing a woodlot is  no different than grandma weeding out her garden. You take out the inferior species, the poor  quality and allow the strong and healthy to survive. I will cull out or weed out my forest garden and let the strong healthy trees grow and thin out inferior and crowded species for timber,  fi rewood, pulp for the paper mill or fence posts. Some culled softwood will be used for outdoor  wood stoves to heat homes. This piece of property is no jewel. It needs lots of work and in time it will be something. As  long as our hearts are pumping blood and our lungs take in cool forest air, my wife Diane and I  will manage the property with the future in mind. We may not see the benefi ts of a deer eating  those apples or grouse feeding on crabs, but our kids and grandkids will. I may be compost by the time all those young trees get to maturity, but those two young boys  will soon be young men and they will have a sweet spot to hunt, a forest to manage and an opportunity.  Now is the time to start teaching them and make sure they do things right. The main access road is almost done. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so working on  the forest management aspect comes next, and that is the fun part.  Managing your woodlot is like working in your garden, it can supply you food, an income  and keep you healthy in body and mind.  Remember to do things safely, get the proper chainsaw  safety and felling training before you run a saw. An injury can easily ruin your day. You don’t  want to let the saw cull you out of life’s existence!
