Anglers pay fines for Lake George violations Fishermen admit to carrying invasive species By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Two fishermen have been fined after admitting they introduced Ò aquatic invasive speciesÓ into Lake George during a Ticonderoga bass fishing tournament. The men, whose names were not released, each paid $100 fines. The two men were charged with violating Lake George Park Commission regulations when evidence of Eurasian milfoil was found on their boat trailers. One was also ticketed for violating a state law that bans transportation of water chestnuts. They could have been fined of up to $500 for violating the park commission Eurasian milfoil regulation and up to $250 for the water chestnut violation. The tickets were issued at Mossy Point by the Lake George Park Commission’s Marine Patrol officers in August. A bench trial was scheduled for Oct. 23, but the men entered into a plea agreement before Ticonderoga Justice James OÕ Bryan.
In issuing the sentences, OÕ Bryan said invasive species are a serious threat to Lake George and all the waters of New York State. He emphasized that travelling boaters need to ensure their boats are clean drained and dry. O’Bryan urged the tournament fishermen to spread the word among their colleagues that Lake George is particularly sensitive and this issue is serious. Any future infractions will be met with more serious consequences, OÕ Bryan warned. Lake George Association Executive Director Walt Lender, who
attended the court session, was pleased with the outcome. Ò WeÕ re pleased to see that the court is fully aware of the issues and supportive of the efforts to protect the lake,Ó he said. Ò It was a welcomed outcome.Ó The tickets were issued when Lake Park Commission technicians were inspecting boats and trailers as they launched for a Northeast Team Bass Tournament. They discovered two trailers with vegetation on them that was confirmed to be milfoil and water chestnut.
TICONDEROGA Ñ There is strong support for the establishment of a food cooperative in Ticonderoga. A community survey conducted by volunteers studying a possible co-op found 100 percent of those asked support the creation of a cooperative store. The survey also found 87 percent mostly/sometimes purchase organic or local foods, 30 percent rarely/never buy organic and 7
percent always buy organic and local food. It also indicated 77 percent are interested in membership in a local co-op, 22 percent maybe and 1 percent is not interested in membership. The full survey can be viewed at www.ticfoodcoop.blogspot. com. The next community meeting on the food co-op will be Monday, Nov. 18, at 6 p.m. at TiNY on Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga. At that meeting the announcement will be made on the name chosen for the co-op. Anita Deming, founder of the Adirondack Harvest, will deliver a presentation at the gathering on her role as execuOrchard & tive director and agricultural Cider Mill issue leader at Cornell Cooperative Extension Association of Essex County. All are welcome to attend. For more information, contact PRIDE at sreynolds@ prideofticonderoga.org. Apples

Army Red Kettle drive. He is lining up help for the traditional charity effort. Ò The Salvation Army is seeking volunteer bell ringers for its Red Kettle campaign in Ticonderoga,Ó Buell said. Ò The Red Kettles have become a tradition throughout the United States, raising money to assist the less fortunate. Volunteers are needed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting the week before Thanksgiving up until Christmas Eve. Companies, organizations, schools, and individuals can sign up as volunteers. Up to 90 percent of the money raised is available to help people in need in our local community.Ó People interested in volunteering for the Red Kettle campaign, or throughout the entire year, can call Buell at 597-3222. Ò If you have a friendly face, you donÕ t mind being out in the cold for an hour or two, and you would like to do something to benefit your community this holiday season, then consider becoming a volunteer bell ringer for the Salvation Army,Ó Buell said. Anyone who needs assistance can also call Buell. In 2012 the Salvation Army reached a new record, collecting $148.7 million during the Red Kettle campaign. Ò There are times in American history when people unite around a common cause and work together to help their neighbor. 2012 was no different,Ó said Commissioner William Roberts, national commander of The Salvation Army. Ò The Red Kettle campaign signifies a unified goal — the public cares for people who have fallen on hard times. Every donation allows us to meet our mission.Ó The Red Kettle campaign traces its history to 1891. Salvation Army Capt. Joseph McFee was distraught because so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry. During the holiday season, he resolved to provide a free Christmas dinner for the destitute and poverty-stricken. He only had one major hurdle to overcome Ñ funding the project.

As he pondered the issue, his thoughts drifted back to his sailor days in Liverpool, England. He remembered how at Stage Landing, where the boats came in, there was a large, iron kettle called Ò SimpsonÕ s PotÓ into which passers-by tossed a coin or two to help the poor. McFee placed a similar pot at the Oakland Ferry Landing at the foot of Market Street. Beside the pot, he placed a sign that read, Ò Keep the Pot Boiling.Ó He soon had the money for his Christmas dinner. Six years later, the kettle idea spread from the west coast to the Boston area. That year, the combined effort nationwide resulted in 150,000 Christmas dinners for the needy. In 1901, kettle contributions in New York City provided funds for the first mammoth sit-down dinner in Madison Square Garden, a custom that continued for many years. Today the Salvation Army assists more than 4.5 million people in the United States through the Red Kettle campaign.

Message FroM The Ti Board To The residenTs oF Ticonderoga recently Bill grinnell, a candidate for Town supervisor for the Town of Ticonderoga, distributed a newspaper flier concerning the Town’s water supply project. Though Bill has voiced his concerns relative to the ongoing water project in Ticonderoga, his latest attack is 100% false and the record needs to be set straight on this matter. The voters and taxpayers of the Town of Ticonderoga deserve information without spin. First, Mr. grinnell tries to argue that the Town supervisor and Town Board have told taxpayers that the Town “must” obtain a groundwater source for the Town’s water. This is patently false. What the Town “must” do is explore a viable solution to the Town’s water needs. This exploration is a cost benefit analysis, no different than what any taxpayer in Town would also do if faced with similar circumstances. Mr. grinnell has trumped gooseneck Pond as the end all solution to the Town’s water source. it is not. Maintaining both the gooseneck supply (the dam and water intake) itself comes at significant immediate and long term cost. add that to the cost of actually transporting the amount of water needed from gooseneck, and those costs become far too much of a burden on the Town’s taxpayers than we could possibly afford. This isn’t spin. it is fact, and has proven so at every meeting. instead of pointing to numbers, Mr. grinnell is attempting to create fear among the taxpayers. so with the estimated figures of updating gooseneck and the Lake george supply, the Town is exploring additional water supply. note that this is “additional” water supply. additional water is intended to add to the Town’s water supply as our current supply cannot meet Town demand. next Mr. grinnell tries to point to the bond resolution somehow arguing that the Town Board passed a resolution focused solely on gooseneck, when that is also false. That resolution, and the public hearing notice published for that resolution, clearly show that the borrowing is for both the exploration of water supply, as well as gooseneck. Mr. grinnell has been at the meetings, including the public hearing on this particular resolution, and knows full well that the funds are being spent with one purpose: find affordable water for the Town’s water districts and water users. not yet done, Mr. grinnell then tries to alarm all of us by saying that all of this exploration work is being done without public input. That too, is false. all meetings have been open to the public. The Town Board has repeatedly asked questions of the engineers and consultants, and they have always responded. The problem is Mr. grinnell doesn’t like the answer. The Town of Ticonderoga is staring down a 100 year decision. Just like our forefathers did back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, we are exploring every option. Why? Because that is the obligation of the Town Board. Mr. grinnell wants us to simply adopt gooseneck as the Town’s supply without any factual basis to support that decision. That would be foolish and would commit the Town taxpayers to a bill that it cannot pay. no final decision has been made on the supply other than the Town Board wants to keep gooseneck as part of the Town’s supply, and before Mr. grinnell complains about that, Yes, the Town Board said “part of” the Town’s supply. not the sole supply as Mr. grinnell would want, but part of the supply. and why did the Town Board decide this? Because it makes sense for the Town. gooseneck has supplied us for 100 years. is that supply without its own issues? no. But gooseneck does supply us and it did not make sense the Town’s engineers and consultants or the Town Board to abandon this supply. in closing, preliminary reports show that a production well can help us meet the Town’s water supply needs in an affordable manner. is the end of the discussion? no. We are still working on gooseneck, having just applied for and received a $2 million grant to help fix the water line coming from gooseneck. Would we have done this if the ‘fix was in’ on wells? of course not, as it would make absolutely no sense to spend $2 million on that line if we weren’t going to use it. Like other involved taxpayers, Mr. grinnell has asked some good questions throughout this process, and the Town Board and the Town’s engineers and consultants have answered those questions. spinning the answers to win an election is no way to guide a Town and it would be unfair to the Town for the Town Board to bend to such bully tactics. The Town Board is exploring the options with the best benefit of the Town taxpayers and water users in mind. after all, we are taxpayers too and it is us, our children and grand-children who will bear the benefit and burden of our decisions. We do not take that lightly. anyone with any questions is always invited to attend a Town Board meeting, or if you can’t, drop us a letter or an email and we will respond. This is an open process and all input is encouraged and accepted. sincerely, Town Board, Town of Ticonderoga 48866

Revitalize the Adirondacks with telecommuting
A
ccess to high-speed Internet is just as crucial to economic development today as electricity was 100 years ago. It is even more important in rural areas like the Adirondack Region, where a commute is often complicated by distance and weather. The largest economic engines of the region used to be mining, lumbering and agriculture Ñ and associated industries. But as those employers slowly evaporated, so too did jobs, and many families moved away. As a result, school enrollments have dwindled, giving way to mostly second homeowners instead of full-time residents. After obtaining high school degrees, children are often forced to trade the great quality of life here in the Adirondack Park for better-paying urban jobs. Many move away for college or military service and never return. One answer to our economic deficit is telecommuting — working from home for a company out of town, the park, the state or even the country. Telecommuting is a great way to give people a chance to live and make a living in the Adirondack Region, and companies worldwide are starting to take notice. Telecommuting is personally satisfying Ñ often allowing the worker more family face time Ñ and environmentally responsible — making it a near perfect fit for this region of New York state. To allow it, however, companies and employees need access to a reliable and comprehensive network of high-speed broadband. The problem for Internet providers such as Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications, however, is the high cost of reaching all household in remote Adirondack communities. While there are several forms of broadband available in the park Ñ such as cable, satellite and DSL Ñ fiber optic is preferred because it offers much faster data transmission speeds. But local communities can band together and help in the process, thanks to a federal program. The USDA was a forerunner in advocating for rural communities to be supplied with electricity in 1935 through the Rural Electrification Administration. Today it offers grants for bringing broadband services to rural communities. In the town of Keene, local officials brought broadband to town with the “High Peaks Education FoundationÓ project, allowing residents to connect to high-speed Internet. The goal for bringing broadband to the town of Keene was to give access to more jobs, enabling more families to live in the community and enroll more children in the local public school. The initiative is a win-win, giving children a great quality of life and new opportunities for learning and parents the ability to make a living here while spending more time with their kids. The initiative with the locally owned Internet service provider, Keene Valley Video and Internet, rebuilt the old CATV plant and expanded the network using fiber-to-the-home technology. Currently 97 percent of year-round homes in the town have access to broadband if they want it, and 80 percent of second homeowners can get broadband. Forty percent are now connected. Keene Valley Central School has also benefitted, and residents now have availability to technology like Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), a group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over the Internet. Replacing land lines, VOIP saves money. The project cost the town $11,500 per mile, only one-third of normal industry estimates. Keene now has the most widespread network in the Adirondack Park. Others should do the same, if they can. To expedite the process, town officials should gather data on how many people are interested in the service, and how many currently have access. That information is crucial when applying for grants. There are some stigmas employers must consider before looking into telecommuting. For one, their industry must be able to manage the productivity of the employees while they are working outside of the office. Trust in employees is a major facet. One not-for-profit organization — Adirondack Teleworks — can aid with the process, connecting companies offering telecommuting jobs with employees of the region. Bill Murphy with Adirondack Teleworks said the organization hopes to educate people living in the most remote areas of the Adirondack Park, like Hamilton County, about working via the Internet. Telecommuting is certainly not the sole piece of the economic puzzle in the tourism-dependant Adirondacks, but if more broadband access is available, it could encourage visitors to stay longer while providing jobs for people who never want to leave.

Letters to the Editor
Oppose amendments To the Times of Ti: On the Nov. 5 election ballot there will be six amendments up for a vote. Despite the pleas by former and current state officials, we would urge everyone to vote no on all six amendments. Voting on these amendments are not like school budgets or one-time items. Each one will change our state constitution forever. Some of them seem to have good intentions, but upon closer inspection you will see otherwise. We urge voters to take time to read them; and not summaries only. There has been no public debate and the facts are hidden deep within. The question we need to ask is can we trust our elected officials in Albany? Please vote no on all six amendments. Chad and Roxann Jordon Ticonderoga
Demand up at food pantry To the Times of Ti: The Ticonderoga Food Pantry has ended summer on a very busy note. We would like to acknowledge the Dollar Tree, Inc. for a successful food drive held recently, the Ticonderoga Sentinel Grill for selecting our program for a donation from their Ò give back to the communityÓ project and Eric Rafferty for his organizationÕ s generous donation. At the end of September, the pantry had offered food to 178 more families than in 2012. This is a 21 percent increase for us, and we took a 10 percent reduction in our annual grant from the Regional Food Bank. The reason: most, if not all, pantries are receiving more requests than last year. We have had to make some cut backs on items we offer, but have tried very hard to be as gentle as possible in doing this, as we know there is a need locally. We have just been advised the CP Rail Holiday Train will arrive on Nov. 28. The time right now is 3:15 but that may change, the date, however, is set. We hope folks will come out to see this awesome event in between their Thanksgiving activities. This is the 15th year that CP Rail has sponsored the Holiday Train! This event is a great benefit to pantries in all towns where the train stops and the volunteers of the Ticonderoga Food Pantry certainly appreciate their effort and generous donation. We hope to see our friends and neighbors at the train station on Nov. 28. M.H. Beuerlein Food Pantry Director Ticonderoga

Dam-locked salmon To the Times of Ti: The Boquet River should be an epic fishery and an emblem of natureÕ s resilience. Instead, it is stuck within a series of management decisions that are misinformed, inefficient and entrenched. I grew up dreaming that I was one of the pioneering explorers in this region, either Hudson or Champlain, arriving at the mouth of a tributary and seeing large trout and salmon. Historical records paint a picture of salmon providing balance to entire ecosystems, including the humans who relied on their meat for sustenance. That dream has an unprecedented opportunity to be real again in the Boquet watershed, and surprisingly little stands in the way of the ancestral migration of these great fish. The Department of Environmental Conservation has already done a great deal to eliminate the primary threats to landlocked salmon in Lake Champlain. By pursuing modest harvest regulations and striving to reduce the impact of lamprey, DEC has already reversed a great deal of damaging historical patterns. Conservation organizations like BRASS are also playing a large part in restoring habitat. And while pollution is still a major threat, industrial uses of the river have been all but halted. The salmonsÕ main threat today, as it was at the turn of the century, is manmade. The dam at Willsboro creates a serious barrier to salmon, both physically and existentially. The Willsboro Dam presents several problems for Champlain salmon. First, and most obviously, the fish ladder designed to accommodate spawning fish is unnatural for salmon and leaves many in the pools belowÑ all dressed up and nowhere to spawn. ItÕ s a great idea in theory, less so in practice. This year, the water is particularly low so the fish ladder isn’t even holding enough water for fish to use it. 6HFRQG W KHGDP FUHDW HVDERX W P LOHRI GHDG Z DW HUDERYHW KH dam which is neither cold nor oxygenated. Salmon need both of these conditions to prevent fatigue in their early stages of migration. Finally, the dam is a liability for downstream users because of its age and construction. If the dam blows, it will probably take someone with it. Ultimately the dam creates a situation where very few, if any, salmon are able to travel upstream and spawn naturally. As a result, the state continually stocks the fishery to maintain the illusion that the river is healthy and can support recreational fishing. Last year alone, the State released 168,117 landlocked salmon into Lake Champlain and its tributaries. The same pattern of stocking has been occurring semi-regularly since 1975. I realize that the removal of the Willsboro dam is not a cheap proposition; however the continual stocking of salmon without any natural reproduction puts a serious burden on taxpayers just the same. Removing the dam would allow the Boquet River to incubate salmon instead of the State contracting that same service out to fish hatcheries. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Boquet River Ò managementÓ is that it convinces sportsman like me that the fishery is healthy. We can go fishing and (if very lucky) catch a salmon. Catching salmon gives us the false perception that all is well and we neednÕ t enter the conservation fight. This is a missed opportunity for fisherman who would otherwise become champions for
the dam-removal cause. I hope that the dam in Willsboro, however scenic, will soon become a relic of the past. I also hope that truly wild salmon will once again inhabit the Boquet, and perhaps my children will fish here one day and experience a taste of what Sameul de Champlain saw upon arriving in present-day Essex County.

Suppport land swaps To the Times of Ti: On Nov. 5, New York voters will be presented with six Constitutional Amendments on the ballot. While every amendment should be of interest to voters, propositions 4 and 5 are critically important to the Adirondacks. I strongly encourage every voter to be informed of the details pertaining to these amendments and then vote Ò YESÓ for both. Proposition 4 will finally resolve property title disputes for over 200 property owners in the Hamlet of Raquette Lake in Long Lake. These properties include the Raquette Lake School, Fire Department, public utilities, businesses and private property. The disputed titles are the result of tax sales dating back to the late 1800s when the state purchased properties for back taxes. However, in most cases the taxes had been paid and the owners had receipts for payment. These tax sales were later ruled illegal by the Supreme Court in 1907 and upheld by the Court of Appeals in 1924. However, litigation is very expensive for both sides and some court cases have languished for years. Furthermore, Article 14 of the State Constitution prevents the State from resolving this issue through any means other than litigation or a constitutional amendment. Now, after several years of hard work by dedicated DEC staff, elected officials and a core group representing the contested property owners, these property owners can realize that which every property owner should have: clear title to the property that they have owned and paid taxes on for years, and in some cases for generations. This amendment has broad support ranging from state and local elected officials to environmental groups to organizations representing groups with diverse interests. All agree this amendment is a win-win for all parties involved. For more information including a detailed history, visit www.twp40.com. Proposition 5 authorizes the State to exchange 200 acres of land with NYCO Minerals for 1,500 acres of land to be added to the forest preserve. These 200 acres will allow NYCO to continue mining in their current location ensuring the companyÕ s viability, and over 100 jobs, for 10 years. Like most areas within the Adirondack Park, every job is important. Consequently, this proposition is critically important to our neighbors in Lewis and Willsboro where NYCOÕ s mine and offices are located. When NYCO has completed mining the 200 acre lot, they will reclaim it and return it to the forest preserve. Like Proposition 4, Proposition 5 has broad support and is a win-win for all involved. You can learn more about Proposition 5 at adirondacklandswap.com. I encourage every New York voter to not only support both of these propositions, but to help us get this message out to others by sharing this information with your family and friends. Clark J.

Ti locates key groundwater source Key step in town’s water improvement project By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga has taken a major step toward meeting a state order that its water system be upgraded. A substantial groundwater source has been located at a second test well site on the east side of Streetroad, Route 9N, according to Supervisor Deb Malaney. Ò The preliminary quality tests are excellent and the quantity far exceeds the daily needs for the entire town,Ó Malaney said. Ò The town requires 800 gallons per minute and this well exceeds 1,500 gpm. Ò This is a huge success for the Ticonderoga water project,Ó she said. Ò The New York State Department of Health is also pleased.Ó New York State has ordered upgrades and/or new water sources be in place by 2016. Ticonderoga currently obtains its drinking water from Gooseneck Pond and Lake George. Because the infrastructure for those sources is no longer in compliance with state and federal requirements, the state Department of Health is requiring the town to either upgrade these facilities or look for a new source of water. Ò ItÕ s an enormous relief to have this third source to rely on,Ó Malaney said. Ò The groundwater will insure a safe, dependable, affordable water supply if or when the fragile Gooseneck or Lake George systems fail. We aren’t confident our old systems will withstand another hurricane Irene or Sandy. The vulnerability of the systems and declining water
quality is exactly why New York State mandated us to upgrade or replace.Ó The cost of upgrading the Gooseneck and Lake George systems to meet state requirements is estimated to be more than $30 million. The cost of a groundwater system utilizing portions of the Gooseneck and Lake George system is estimated to be $14 million. Ò Groundwater requires less chemical treatment, less operation and maintenance costs, and is, overall, far less expensive than the old technology of surface water filtration plants,” Malaney said. Ò We had every Gooseneck option studied and found at todayÕ s costs the $30-plus million project was unaffordable and still could not supply the entire town with water. We also studied Lake George filtration plant as the primary and found it cost and location prohibitive.Ó The estimated cost for the current project is $14 million and includes improvements to Gooseneck and Lake George to keep them operational. Ò The project is down to approximately $11 million,Ó Malaney said, Ò because of the townÕ s diligence in applying for funding and grants. More funding opportunities are coming in 2014, which will offset even more costs, payable over 30 years.Ó Failure to meet the 2016 deadline could result in fines of up to $37,000 a day for the town. In 2009 the state Department of Health ordered Ti to replace or cover the Gooseneck reservoir, which was created in 1931. The town developed a plan to replace the reservoir with tanks, but an inspection discovered problems with the Gooseneck dam and with transmission lines. Gooseneck was designed to serve the entire town, but over time demand exceeded GooseneckÕ s capacity. In 1965 a Lake George water supply was developed for emergency use. Eventually, Lake George water became necessary to meet daily demand. During an inspection the state also found problems at the Baldwin Road filtration plant that handles Lake George water. At the urging of state officials, Ticonderoga then began considering an upgrade of the entire water system, utilizing groundwater sources. The plan to use groundwater proved unpopular with residents in the Chilson area, though. They want to retain water from Gooseneck Pond. Others want to use water from Lake George. Ò Town residents have clearly said they want to keep Gooseneck and Lake George as sources,Ó Malaney said. Ò As a result, the proposed project includes elements that will allow the town to maintain its existing sources as well as incorporate the new source (groundwater) into the distribution system. This addition of groundwater will enable the town to control costs and give the town the ability to meet future water demands for the townÕ s water system.Ó Despite the fact that Ticonderoga is surrounded by water, the
town has a long history of insufficient water supply. Since the 1940s, the village and town have faced compliance issues with water quality standards and an aging infrastructure with portions dating back to the 1800s. Information on the project is available on the town website at www.townofticonderoga.com

Three vie for Ticonderoga’s top seat this election cycle Challenger Bill Grinnell running on Republican line
Incumbent Deb Malaney running as an independent
fred@denpubs.com
fred@denpubs.com
By Fred Herbst
TICONDEROGA Ñ Bill Grinnell would like to bring a new perspective to Ticonderoga government. ThatÕ s why the Ti native is running for town supervisor. Ò IÕ d like to be supervisor,Ó he said. “I think there are significant challenges facing our town that need a fresh approach. Ò Everyone (trustees) on the town board has expertise to lend to town government,Ó Grinnell added. Ò We Bill Grinnell need a leader who will take that expertise and move to a point where we can take advantage of it.Ó Grinnell, who won the Republican primary in September, will face incumbent Supervisor Deb Malaney and Ti trustee Steve Whitford in the Nov. 5 general election. Malaney and Whitford are running as independents. Ticonderoga government is short-sighted, Grinnell believes. Ò There are no long-range plans for any part of local government,Ó he said. Ò We need to set goals and make plans to reach those goals to have an effective government. WeÕ re completely reactive when we need to be proactive.Ó Grinnell is the retired owner of Grinnell Construction, a 100-year-old building firm in Ti. He believes his business background has prepared him to be supervisor. Ò IÕ ve run a successful business,Ó he said. Ò I hope to bring that experience to town government.Ó Grinnell has several specific items in his platform. TiconderogaÕ s infrastructure, especially its water system, will be a priority for Grinnell, if elected. The town is now in the initial stages of a $13.6 million project to convert its water system from surface sources to groundwater. Ò I disagree with the direction the town is headed,Ó Grinnell said. Ò My experience tells me surface water is a better way to go.Ó The candidate said one of his first acts as supervisor would be to meet with state Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation officials to map out a plan for Ti’s water system. Ò IÕ d like to see the town board take a step back from this and take a deep breath,Ó Grinnell said. Ò I donÕ t believe all the options have been fully investigated.Ó Grinnell also noted the need for a new or renovated police headquarters, a deteriorating town shed and the use of the Armory as important issues facing the town that have lingered for years. Ò Somebody has to take control of town government and move it to the decision-making process,Ó he said. Ò We donÕ t need an individual to make the decisions, but we need someone to move things along until a decision is made.Ó Grinnell also believes Ticonderoga should consider hiring a town manager. The town manager, which could be shared with another town or agency, would be responsible for the day-to-day operation of local government and for seeking grant funding. Ò So much of a supervisorÕ s time is spent in Elizabethtown (the county seat) and the day-to-day things that thereÕ s little time for anything else,Ó he said. Ò We need someone who can lobby our officials in Albany and Washington. That’s an important role of a supervisor.Ó Grinnell said he would be willing to cut the supervisorÕ s pay to help fund a town manager. Helping the Ticonderoga business community would also be a priority for Grinnell. Ò I donÕ t believe weÕ ll see another IP (International Paper) coming anytime soon, but we should be doing everything possible to support and attract small businesses to the community,Ó he said. Ò IÕ d like to see a closer relationship with Fort Ticonderoga. I believe tourism is a real key to our economic future.Ó The candidate would also like to encourage business development along the LaChute River. He supports the planned construction of a replica 18th Century sawmill on the LaChute and feels a microbrewery on the river would be a perfect business for Ticonderoga. Ò That river was a source of industry in Ticonderoga for 200 years,Ó Grinnell said. Ò The type of industry may be different now, but the river is still a resource.Ó Grinnell said he would have an open-door policy and welcome the input of residents, if elected. Ò IÕ ll listen to anyone,Ó he said. Ò ThatÕ s how you learn. ItÕ s where ideas are generated.Ó Grinnell ran against Malaney four years ago in the GOP primary, losing 198-173. That election followed a long illness that hospitalized Grinnell from May to August. HeÕ s healthy now and believes a more active campaign will make him a more viable candidate. Ò IÕ ve been out talking to people and will continue to do so,Ó he said. Ò I plan on talking to the senior citizens (club) and would be happy to speak to any group thatÕ s interested in hearing my platform. YouÕ re going to see a lot of me.Ó Grinnell, age 66, lives on Grace Avenue with his wife, Laurie, and youngest son. He has four children. HeÕ s a former member of the Queensbury Homebuilders Association and former member of its board of directors. HeÕ s a member of the Masons and Elks. He has served as town building inspector, planning board member, zoning board of appeals member and is currently ZBA chairman. He spent 15 years on the Ticonderoga Central School Board of Education and 30 years with the Ti Little League as a coach, officer and president. He also is a member of the Valley View Cemetery board of directors.

TICONDEROGA Ñ After four years on the job, Deb Malaney is just beginning to feel comfortable as TiconderogaÕ s town supervisor. “I’m finally at a point where I feel IÕ m effective on the town level, as a county representative and as advocate on the state and federal levels,Ó Malaney said. Ò ThereÕ s so much to this job; there are so many diverse responsibilities Ñ water, sewer, police, assessments, codes enforcement, youth needs, senior citizen needs, quality of Deb Malaney life issues, cultural activities, economic development, social issues. “The first two years there was a steep learning curve,” she continued. Ò The last two years have been about developing relationships with our county, state and federal legislators. ItÕ s been a blur.Ó With that experience, Malaney feels sheÕ s well prepared to lead Ticonderoga into the future. ThatÕ s why sheÕ s seeking a third two-year term as Ti supervisor. Malaney will face Republican Bill Grinnell and Ti trustee Steve Whitford in the Nov. 5 general election. Malaney and Whitford are running as independents. Malaney said her greatest accomplishment as supervisor has been holding the line on taxes. Ticonderoga has always met the stateÕ s 2 percent tax cap on her watch. Ò The biggest success of my tenure is the huge savings of taxpayer money with grants and cost cutting efficiency measures that allows us to maintain our critical services and programs and keep town employees working,Ó she said. Ò We have secured over $10 million in grant funding for town improvements, treatment plant and infrastructure upgrades, completed seven critical sewer and water replacements at little cost to taxpayers, upgrades to airport runway, road, and a fuel base operation coming. Many town wide improvements to parks, walking trails, including the new Alexandria Avenue trestle and sidewalk project. WeÕ ve applied and received grants for energy efficiency in town buildings, for Lake George stormwater runoff protection and a myriad of planning grants. WeÕ ve done much new infrastructure work and more to come, Meyer Street, St. Claire, John/George Street, Park Avenue, Streetroad. “We’ve had other notable successes that are of true benefit to the town in economic development and human services; Silver Bay is now providing quality youth programming, the summer program and Backpack Program to feed our hungry children, town creation of the Ti Alliance and the cultural arts initiative,Ó she said. Ò We have new rehabbed downtown buildings and new businesses in the Industrial Park and downtown. The economic development and social improvements have really made a difference in Ti.Ó There have been disappointments in her first two terms. Malaney said her greatest disappoint was the closing of the LoweÕ s store. Ò The past four years were bursting with challenges,Ó she said. “The town board inherited difficult legal matters, Killicut Mountain, highway department issues, state DEC violations, (state) department of health violations, Gooseneck water replacement project,the boilers blew in the Armory and Community Building. We faced Hurricane Irene and repeated 100-year flooding rains that compromised our old infrastructure. I remember wondering if swarms of locusts would be coming next. Ò Another challenge is keeping Ti a safe, clean, affordable place to live and work,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a herculean effort for rural municipalities, especially during a weak U.S. economy.Ó The town is in the early stages of a $13.6 million project that will convert TiÕ s water source from Gooseneck Pond and Lake George to primarily groundwater, although itÕ s likely some Gooseneck water will still be used. That project follows state and federal mandates that the surface water sources either be updated or replaced. The cost of updating the present system is $30 million, Malaney said. Ò We really donÕ t have a choice,Ó the supervisor said of the project. Ò We are under a tribunal order to take action. The days of taking water directly from a lake are a bygone era.Ó Projects to divert storm water from the town sewer system and to replace aging infrastructure are also in the works, Malaney said. The next two years will also be crucial to TiconderogaÕ s economic future, Malaney believes. The North Country Community College proposal to utilize the vacant LoweÕ s store on Wicker Street and convert it to an applied technology center could be a tremendous boost the community, she said. Ò IÕ m very excited about the potential NCCC applied technology curriculum at the LoweÕ s building,Ó Malaney said. Ò A consortium of four colleges is discussing the possibilities of repurposing LoweÕ s to offer a variety of degree programs, including new green technology with a focus on biomass energy resources.Ó The START-UP NY program could lead to businesses locating in Ticonderoga. That state program gives tax breaks to businesses aligned with the academic mission of a college campus, college or university. Participating companies in START-UP NY will not pay any taxes for 10 years. Employees in participating companies will pay no income taxes for the first five years. Ò With this, the potential for additional incubator businesses would be very promising,Ó she added. Ò This project and the additional business opportunities it creates would have a great impact on our continuing efforts to revitalize Ti.Ó The economy and jobs will always be MalaneyÕ s top priority, she said. A graduate of Ticonderoga High School, Malaney worked 15 years in sales and marketing in the Albany area before returning to her hometown in 1990. She operated AidanÕ s Lair gift shop until taking a marketing position at Fort Ticonderoga in 1995.
She became Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce executive director in 2001 and remained there until taking a marketing job with the Best Western in 2007. She was elected and served as a Ticonderoga town board member 2002-2005 and has sat on the Ticonderoga Economic Development Committee, the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, Essex County Quality Destination Committee, the Lake Champlain Regional marketing Committee and many other boards and panels. Malaney said the job of supervisor has its highs and lows, but itÕ s a job she wants to keep. Ò After much thought, I decided to run for another two year term,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a labor of love fraught with challenges and successes, but I love Ti and IÕ m committed to the people and community and proud to serve them. We have plenty of challenges ahead with budgets, finding quality affordable water sources, and more, but in my four years as both a town and county level supervisor, IÕ ve developed the skills to keep the town moving forward and have the track record to prove it.Ó
Ti Trustee Steve Whitford running as an independent By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ No one can accuse Steve Whitford of being a typical politician. Whitford, who is running for Ticonderoga supervisor in the Nov. 5 general election, is a Republican who decided to run as an independent. And, in an era of fiscal reductions, he’s willing to raise taxes to provide services to residents. Whitford will face Republican nominee Bill Grinnell and incumbent Supervisor Deb Malaney, running as an Steve Whitford independent, on Election Day. Ò IÕ m a registered Republican, but I like to think I have an independent mind,Ó said Whitford, who chose to run on the independent line rather than in the GOP primary. “It seems the political parties just want to fight. I’m only interested in doing the right things for Ticonderoga.Ó Unlike his rivals, who are fiscal conservatives, Whitford sees a need to raise taxes in Ticonderoga. Ò We can not continue to cut our budgets as there is not a lot left to trim,Ó he said. Ò We need to exceed the 2 percent tax cap in order to move ahead. I am a taxpayer, too. I do not want to pay anymore to the government, but we can not support the muchneeded repairs around our town. Many roads, sidewalks, water and sewer infrastructure, town buildings are in grave need of repair Ñ not to mention the debt load our community carries. Ò We need to increase our revenue in baby steps to bring these debts under control,Ó he said. Whitford has served on the Ticonderoga town board the past eight years. He worked 20 years as a patrolman in the Ti Police Department. As chairman of the town airport committee, Whitford has led improvements that include repaving of the runway, installation of a security fence and the construction of a hanger. He has also supported the efforts of the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership. Whitford strongly supports the communityÕ s emergency services personnel, noting his support for the local fire department, ambulance squad and police department. The Ticonderoga Emergency Service, which provides ambulance coverage for the town, has asked the town for $50,000 to help support its volunteer efforts. Whitford supports the request. Ò Due to cutbacks by the state and federal governments they (ambulance personnel) are not receiving enough reimbursement from Medicaid for transports to keep them running,Ó Whitford said. Ò I, for one, do not want to see our community lose its emergency services.Ó Whitford also supports keeping the town trash transfer station in town hands, despite a recent study by the town board that could lead to privatizing the facility. Ò At a time when we need to generate more revenue for the town why would we even consider getting rid of a source of substantial revenue such as the transfer station?Ó he asked. Ò We increased our rates in 2012 from 10 cents a pound to 15 cents a pound after nearly 15 years with no increases. Why did it take so long for us to make the logical move?Ó Whitford acknowledged the transfer station is losing about $30,000 a year, but he feels that can be turned around with proper management. The candidate also expressed concern about TiconderogaÕ s declining assessment roll. The town has lost more than $5 million in assessed value, which caused tax rates to increase. He said town leaders must find a way to stimulate growth in the community to curb the problem. He is also concerned about the loss of young people, who leave Ticonderoga to find employment elsewhere. Ò WeÕ re an aging community,Ó he said. Ò How do we get our young people to stay? I donÕ t have an answer, but we need to take some action to create good jobs for them. I think our future is in green (environmentally-sound) industry.Ó Whitford believes he is the best candidate for Ticonderoga supervisor. Ò I feel I have the knowledge and the voice to be heard where we need to be heard and I have always listened to what our residents have had to say,Ó he said. Ò We may not always agree in principle, but we always find ways to move forward. Ò I look forward to representing the residents of the town of Ticonderoga, if elected,Ó he said. Ò I have always been available to the people of this community and would like to continue to do so. It has been my pleasure to represent you these past eight years as a town councilman.Ó Whitford, age 57, attended Crown Point Central School, but has lived in Ticonderoga most of his adult life. He and his wife, Linda, have been married 36 years.

Fort Ti receives grant from the French Heritage Society TICONDEROGA Ñ Fort Ticonderoga has received a grant from the French Heritage Society to underwrite restoration work on the fortÕ s soldiersÕ barracks. The grant was given to Fort Ticonderoga, originally named Fort Carillon in 1755, because of its historic signifi cance as a French heritage site. The project will replace 80 year old windows and sills on the third fl oor of the soldiers’ barracks. Restoration work is currently under way with the windows expected to be installed by the spring of 2014. Ò The restoration and preservation of Fort TiconderogaÕ s historic structures require on-going effort and investment,Ó said Beth Hill, president and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga. Ò Fort Ticonderoga is delighted to be recognized by the French Heritage Society for its signifi cant French story and its on-going legacy. This grant provides important funding that will have a big impact on the preservation of the soldiersÕ barracks.Ó The restoration of Fort Ticonderoga was launched in the spring of 1909 by Stephen H.P. and Sarah G.T. Pell and is the
earliest restoration of a major historic site in America. It is a project that transformed American preservation thinking in the early 20th century. The restoration began with reconstruction of the offi cers’ barracks, western wall and bastions and the Pells simultaneously started assembling a world-renowned collection of 18th-century military objects and archives.
The museum formally opened to the public in 1910 and as collections grew, exhibitions were expanded into the soldiersÕ barracks reconstructed in 1930-1931. During the next decade the restoration continued completing the northern and eastern walls of the fort by the early 1940s. The most recent reconstruction, the magasin du Roi, (the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center) was completed in 2008.

I AM RESPONDING TO SEVERAL COMMENTS MADE BY THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN THEIR LAST TWO ADVERTISEMENTS. MR. GRINNELL: YOU CONTINUE TO QUOTE ExPENDITURES FOR THE WATER SYSTEMS AND WELLS BUT YOU NEVER PRODUCE ACCURATE, TRUE FIGURES. WE ARE WORKING TO PROVIDE THE TAxPAYERS THE LOWEST WATER RATE WE CAN, BY ACCURATELY GETTING ESTIMATES TOGETHER FOR EACH OF OUR WATER SOURCES AND THE WELLS. WE KNOW GOOSENECK WILL COST ABOUT $28 TO $32 MILLION. LAKE GEORGE WATER TREATMENT PLANT COST ABOUT $9 TO $12 MILLION. AS OF THIS MOMENT I DO NOT KNOW THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE WELL SYSTEM. I DON’T KNOW WHOSE PERSONAL AGENDA YOU ARE REFERRING TO BUT I HAVE ONLY ONE AGENDA AND THAT IS TO GENERATE REVENUE SOURCES FOR THE TAxPAYERS AND DEVELOP A WATER SYSTEM SOURCE THAT WILL PROVIDE THE WATER USERS WATER FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. WE NEED TO DEVELOP PLANS FOR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES AND OTHER PROjECTS WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. MRS. MALANEY: YES YOU DID STAY UNDER THE TWO PERCENT TAx CAP THE PAST FOUR YEARS. NOW WE HAVE REACHED THE POINT I HAVE STATED WE WOULD REACH ALL ALONG. WE HAVE CUT SO MUCH FROM OUR BUDGET BY OFFERING EARLY RETIREMENTS TO THREE EMPLOYEES PAYING FOR THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE POLICIES UNTIL THEY REACH SOCIAL SECURITY AGE. WE CUT SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS OUT OF EVERY DEPARTMENT OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS TO REACH THE TWO PERCENT CAP EACH YEAR. NOW WE ARE USING APPROX. 130 THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THE CONTINGENCY FUND BALANCES TO STAY UNDER THE TWO PERCENT CAP. BUT WE ARE COVERING THIS BY DRAWING DOWN ON OUR UNAPPROPRIATED FUND BALANCE WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF LIMITS. THIS IS THE LAST SOURCE OF FUNDS BEFORE THE TOWN TAXES WILL GO UP AND WE WON’T HAVE A THING TO SAY ABOUT IT WITHOUT SERIOUSLY CUTTING OR DOING AWAY WITH VITAL SERVICE’S. THIS WILL BE A REAL PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT SUPERVISOR AND BOARD. I WAS AT THE CHILSON HILL FIRE HALL MEET THE CANDIDATES AND I DID SAY I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR TICONDEROGA TO HAVE A MANAGER BUT I ALSO STATED WE COULDN’T AFFORD A MANAGER RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE ATTORNEYS AND ENGINEERS THAT DO A LARGE PART OF WHAT A TOWN MANAGER WOULD DO. BUT I REMEMBER YOU ALSO SAYING YOU WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO LOOKING INTO HIRING A TOWN MANAGER. YOU CLAIM TO BE THE ONLY CANDIDATE WITH ExPERIENCE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, GOVERNMENT POLICIES, DEVELOPING TOWN BUDGETS AND jOB CREATION. YOU CLAIM MY POSITION DOES NOT MEET NYS MANDATED REGULATIONS AND WILL jEOPARDIZE OUR NYS GRANTS AND FUNDING. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PLANS YOU’VE BEEN WORKING ON ExCEPT I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AS TO WHAT MAY BE LESS COSTLY TO THE WATER USERS. I AM ALSO NOT WILLING TO APPROVE ANY RESOLUTIONS TO PURCHASE ANY PROPERTY UNTIL I HAVE THE WELL QUALITY AND VOLUME RESULTS AS WELL AS PROjECT COST IN ORDER TO EVALUATE WHICH SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE THE LOWEST WATER USER RATE.

Best Fourth planning now under way Work has started in 2014 celebration By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Summer just ended, but the Best Fourth in the North Committee is already at work planning TiconderogaÕ s 2014 July 4th celebration. The 2014 event will take place July 1-4 with fi reworks, parade, live music, food, vendors, rides, games and more. Ò The Ticonderoga Best Fourth in the North committee, a subcommittee of the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, is dedicated to providing area residents and visitors with the best Fourth of July experience in the North Country,Ó said Debbie Barber, Best Fourth committee chairwoman. Ò The Best Fourth in the North celebration attracts many visitors to the Ticonderoga area every year, which supports local businesses and the local economy.Ó The celebration costs $25-$30,000 a year for the parade, bands for the parade, bands, entertainment, carnival, vendors in Bicentennial Park and the traditional fi reworks display, Barner said. The town of Ticonderoga does provide support for the Fourth of July celebration, but the majority of the funding is raised through donations and fund raising activities. Ò On behalf of the Best Fourth in the North committee we would like to thank all of the sponsors and donors for the 2013 celebration,Ó Barber said. Ò Without your dedication and support the celebration would not be possible. We appreciate the communityÕ s support of the celebration.Ó The annual event is sponsored by the town of Ticonderoga, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce and the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership.

Motel, Joan Charboneau, Charlene Dreimiller, EddieÕ s Restaurant, Carolyn Malaney and the Ticonderoga Heritage Museum. Barber thanked those donors along with people who attended fundraisers, purchased raffl e tickets and made donations at a coin drop. Ò We would also like to thank the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce for their support and dedication to the committee and celebration throughout the year,Ó Barber said. Ò In addition to assisting the committee with planning and providing offi ce space, the chamber also markets the celebration locally and outside the area. I would also like to thank Pam and Bucket (Eric Rafferty) for assisting the Best Fourth in the North and allowing us at BucketÕ s Bog.Ó The Best Fourth committee is now planning fund raising activities for the 2014 celebration, including Buckets Bog, raffl es, Fourth of July in December Barbecue, the annual Alumni Basketball Tournament, an Italian dinner and a coin drop.
Donations and volunteers are also being sought for 2014. Ò All donations from community members, visitors and area businesses are always very much appreciated and help make this event possible,Ó Barber said. Ò In addition, the Best Fourth in the North committee is looking for volunteers to serve on the planning committee, volunteers for fundraisers and during the four-day celebration. Currently the committee has between 5-7 people fundraising and working to make the multi-day celebration a success.Ó Donations for the Best Fourth in the North celebration can be mailed to 42 Burgoyne Road, Ticonderoga, 12883. Checks should be payable to Best Fourth in the North or the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership. All donations made to the celebration will be tax deductible.

Two in running for Putnam supervisor post Patricia Frost running as Democrat By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com
PUTNAM Ñ Patricia Frost has a simple message for Putnam voters. ItÕ s time for a change. Frost is running for town supervisor on the Democratic ticket. Ò We need representative government in Putnam,Ó Frost said. Ò There have been too many elections in Putnam when people have no choice. When thereÕ s only one candidate on the ballot itÕ s not healthy for the democratic process.Ó Patricia Frost Frost is running against incumbent Republican John LaPointe, who is seeking his 14th term as supervisor. Putnam voters have several choices to make this fall. Republicans Greg Harris and Cathie Burke are each seeking re-election to the town board. TheyÕ re being challenged by Democrats Richard Malaney and Richard White. Also on the ballot are incumbent town clerk Patricia Wilson and highway superintendent Gary Treadway. Both are Republicans and are unopposed. A nurse, Frost has lived in Putnam the past 15 years. She promises that, if elected, she will serve no more than two terms. Ò I think term limits lead to healthier government,Ó she said. Ò We need to get more people, particularly younger people, involved in local government. It’s time to open these offices up to new people with new ideas.Ó Frost said she has concerns about the changing character of Putnam. The community is losing its farms and its young people, she said. Ò I see changes I donÕ t like,Ó she said. Ò We have fewer and fewer farms. We need new ideas to support agriculture. We need new ideas to increase the number of ratables (taxable properties). We need to be involved in the fight against invasives,” she said. Ò The state, the Lake George Park Commission, the communities on the lake are all involved in developing a program to fight invasives. Where is Putnam? We’re a unique community with shoreline on Lake Champlain and Lake George. Since threequarters of our property values are on the lakes this should be a major issue for Putnam.Ó PutnamÕ s issues are no secret, Frost said. Ò The people of Putnam know best what they need to do,Ó Frost said, Ò but many of them are not being heard. We need a town board that is open, that publishes agendas, that creates a newsletter and website for residents to keep them informed.Ó Putnam has the potential for economic development, Frost said. She noted the two lakes are a tremendous asset and Route 22 gives the town a transportation corridor to the north, south and Vermont. She said a new state program to encourage the use
of locally grown hops in the manufacture of New York state beer could be a help to Putnam farmers. New technology should also be utilized to attract business to the community, she said. Ò ThereÕ s a lot we can do,Ó she said. Frost also said Putnam taxes should be lowered. Ò We hear all about the 2 percent tax cap,Ó she said. Ò What about a 0 tax increase? Why not cut taxes? For many years people have paid too much in taxes.Ó Frost said the recent property revaluation project in Putnam shows the need for new leadership. She claims the project was done without fully informing town residents about the process. She also feels the project could have been done using the local assessor rather than hiring a private firm. Ò The results (of the reval project) have led to litigation against the town, which is costly,Ó Frost said. Ò Citizens look at what the assessors determined as their propertyÕ s fair market value, and they donÕ t believe it. They couldnÕ t get that if they sold their homes.Ó The entire Democratic ticket opposes the reval project, Frost said, but that’s not the reason they are seeking office. Ò We have a slate of candidates who have lived in town 1025-30 years,Ó Frost said. Ò Everyone has concerns that go beyond assessments. Ò People get into ruts; they become complacent,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s important that we have checks and balances in our democratic system. ThatÕ s why we need elections.Ó Frost said she will be a full-time supervisor with regular office hours and an open-door policy. Ò I intend to listen to all the people and represent them accordingly,Ó she said. Ò Access to the supervisor is critical for an open government. A supervisor is elected to serve his or her town first, then the county.Ó
John LaPointe pursuing his 14th term By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com
PUTNAM Ñ The longest-serving supervisor in Washington County, John LaPointe has no plans to retire. Ò Retire?Ó he asked. Ò I like what I do. ItÕ s a privilege to be supervisor in the town of Putnam.Ó LaPointe, the incumbent Republican, is seeking his 14th term this Election Day. Unlike many past elections, he has opposition in 2013. Democrat Patricia Frost is challenging LaPointe. Putnam voters have several choices to make this fall. Republicans Greg Harris and Cathie Burke are each seeking re-election to the town board. TheyÕ re being challenged by Democrats Richard Malaney and Richard White. Also on the ballot are incumbent town clerk Patricia Wilson and highway superintendent Gary Treadway. Both are Republicans and are unopposed. LaPointe has a long list of accomplishments as supervisor. He points to improvements at the town beach, boat launch and tennis courts;
22730
town wide garbage and recycling collection; the creation of the Black Point sewer district; construction of a yearround Sagamore Road; establishment of a town park on Lake Champlain with snowmobile and fishing access; erection of a veterans monument at the town hall; $500,000 of federal grants to rehabilitate substandard housing; and more. Ò IÕ m not a one-trick pony,Ó LaPointe said. Ò I have many concerns and plans for the townÕ s future. I hope people will John LaPointe stay with proven leadership.Ó The supervisor said his commitment to Putnam is proven by his long-time residence in the community. He also pointed out Burke and Harris are life-long Putnam residents. Ò Slick and inaccurate statements donÕ t get people elected,Ó LaPointe said. Ò We (LaPointe, Burke and Harris) have always been here. As long as myself and my running mates are alive there will never be a Ò For SaleÓ sign in our front yards.Ó LaPointe’s influence extends beyond Putnam. He is currently vice chairman of the Washington County Board of Supervisors and has been the county’s budget officer the past 10 years. He has chaired every county committee during his tenure. He is a past president of the New York State Association of Towns and is a past president and current trustee of the New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal. He is also a member of the Adirondack Inter-County Legislative Committee. The supervisor believes he has opposition this year because of a property assessment revaluation recently completed in Putnam. That reval was intended to bring Putnam properties to full market value. Ò My opponentÕ s biggest concern is the town revaluation, which some members of the lake communities have resisted,Ó LaPointe said. Ò I understand not everyone is happy, but the process was needed and it was fair.Ó Putnam borders two lakes, Lake Champlain and Lake George. Lake shore residents pay about 75 percent of the townÕ s taxes. The reval was the first in Putnam in 11 years, he noted. It was conducted by a private, non-partisan firm. Ò The results of the reval prove it is fair,Ó LaPointe said. Ò About a third of properties went up (in assessed value), about a third went down and about a third stayed the same. ThatÕ s just what you would expect. Some in the lake communities believe their property values have been greatly exaggerated, but the facts are those values are now fair.Ó He offered a number of examples indicating homes in the town that have been sold for much more than their assessed value. LaPointe welcomes the competition this year. Ò I think itÕ s good for government that people have a choice,Ó he said. Ò ThatÕ s the way democracy is supposed to work. ItÕ s a way to get people more involved in their government and community.Ó

Bulwagga Bay project on hold By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ Mother Nature has delayed work to save the Bulwagga Bay shoreline. The project, designed to stop beach erosion, was scheduled to be completed this fall. High water in Lake Champlain has shelved the plan, though. Ò The project will have to be put off until next year,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò ItÕ s an act of nature. ThereÕ s nothing we can do about it.Ó In order to do the work, the Lake Champlain water level must be no higher than 94 feet. Heavy rains earlier this summer swelled the lake to nearly 100 feet. It had dropped to 95.3 feet as of Oct. 1, according to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. Ò The lake needs to be near its lowest point for us to do the work,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò We need the lake level to drop.Ó The level of Lake Champlain varies within about 5 feet each year. The Bulwagga Bay project was scheduled for this fall because water levels are generally the lowest during late summer and early fall when runoff from tributary streams is lowest because of the movement of moisture back to the atmosphere (through evapotranspiration) over the summer. The water levels are usually highest from April to May because of high runoff in tributary streams due to snowmelt and low evapotranspiration. Ò Realistically, we wonÕ t be able to do it next spring,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò I hope we can do it in the fall of 2014.Ó Permits for the Bulwagga Bay project expire this year. Scozzafava said the town will seek an extension and do the work in 2014. To get new permits, the town must complete a new survey and revise its engineering plans, the supervisor said. That work will be completed next spring. Ò The plan we have now was developed two years ago,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò In that time period weÕ ve lost another 20 feet of shoreline.Ó The town used an emergency permit this past summer to place 250 cubic yards of material at
Bulwagga Bay to help stem the lakeshore erosion. The project will be completed at some point, Scozzafava stressed. Ò It has to be done,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò The town board canÕ t sit back and let that shoreline erode. ItÕ s a black and white issue; thereÕ s no gray area. It has to be done. Ò ItÕ s a huge revenue source for the community,Ó he said of Bulwagga Bay. Ò ItÕ s the most important piece of real estate the town owns. We canÕ t sit by and watch it disappear.Ó 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. Ò WeÕ re losing 6 to 10 feet of beach a year,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò WeÕ re losing the beach; weÕ re losing the campground.Ó The shoreline has moved back 45 to 60 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. The Bulwagga Bay erosion project is expected to cost $350,000. After the project is fi nished it will require annual monitoring of erosion and water levels on the beach. The town will be allowed to fi ll in Ñ or Ò renourishÓ Ñ areas above the revetments where any erosion takes place. 26849

Crown Point Senior Center moves Falling tree damages Knapp Center; forces change By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ Forced to relocate following an act of nature, the Crown Point Senior Citizens Center is up and running with meals and activities. The center is now in the basement of the Crown Point Methodist Church on Creek Road. It was in the Knapp Center at the Hammond Park until a storm knocked over a tree, causing significant damage to the building’s roof, kitchen, rest rooms and storage area. Ò This is temporary, until the Knapp Center is repaired,Ó said Tatum Trombley, Crown Point Senior Citizens Center site manager. Ò It could be a while, though. There was a lot of damage. We really appreciate the church allowing us to move here.Ó The Crown Point Senior Citizens Center is open Wednesday and Thursday 2 to 6 p.m. Funded by the Essex County Office for Aging and operated by the Adirondack Community Action
Program, the senior center serves dinner and provides social activities. Dinner for people age 60 and older is free, although a $3.50 donation is requested. Dinner for people younger than age 60 costs $6. Ò We never turn anyone away,Ó Trombley said. Ò Everyone is welcome here.Ó Along with dinner there are crafts, movies, puzzles, games and cards along with socializing. There are also special programs on issues affecting senior citizens. Ò Basically, people can do anything they want,Ó Trombley said of the center. Ò ItÕ s a place where everyone is welcome to gather and enjoy themselves.Ó Attendance at the senior center has fallen since the move to the Crown Point Methodist Church. Trombley cited several possible factors Ñ people may not know the new location; the new location is away from the hamlet and requires transportation; summer residents have left the community. About a dozen people attend now, she said. Attendance was about two dozen before the move. Ò I just hope more people will come,Ó Trombley said. Ò We offer a lot of opportunities. The Office of the Aging can help se-

Information on the senior center is also available on Facebook at Crown Point Senior Center. People can call Trombley at 597-4491 for a schedule or more information. Trombley, who has been the Crown Point site manager for seven months, said the new location is working out well. Ò I love it,Ó she said. Ò I like the kitchen. ItÕ s actually bigger than the old one, and we have plenty of room and parking. I hope more people will come and see it.Ó

Schroon library part of holiday program Holiday Mail for Heroes project Nov. 12-16 SCHROON LAKE Ñ The Friends of the Schroon Lake Public Library, library trustees and the library staff have joined together to participate in the American Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes Campaign. Holiday Mail for Heroes is a program that the Red Cross started in partnership with Pitney Bowes in 2007. Since this program was started, more than 6.5 million cards fi lled with messages of gratitude, encouragement and holiday greetings from the American public for members of the U.S. Armed Forces have been collected. These holiday cards are distributed to American soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, veterans and military families
in communities nationwide and on military installations around the world. People interested in participating can stop by the library between Nov. 12-16 during regular library hours. Library staff will have a selection of holiday cards patrons can fi ll out for service men and women around the world. At the conclusion of the event, all signed cards will be gathered at the Adirondack Saratoga Chapter of the Red Cross. They will be sorted and then forwarded to the central screening site in Washington, D.C. The Schroon Lake Friends of the Library will provide the cards and will cover the shipping costs. Additional information about this program can be found at the website www.redcross.org/holidaymail.

Stage set for Section VII Class D championship Ticonderoga 28, Beekmantown 27
Ticonderoga edged Beekmantown, 28-27, in overtime in a Section VII cross-over game Oct. 24. The game was decided when Anthony DuShane hauled down a pass from Michael Graney in OT and Ty Denno booted the winning extra point. The Sentinels got off to a slow start, falling behind 14-0. Graney then hit DuShane with a 12-yard TD pass and Cameron Wright ran for a 3-yard touchdown as Ti battled back to a 14-14 tie at the intermission. The teams traded scores in the second half. After Beekmantown took a 21-14 lead the Sentinels answered with a 1-yard run by Jarryn Granger for a 21-21 deadlock. That set up the overtime. After Beekmantown took a 27-21 lead in the extra period, the Eagles went for a two-point conversion. The Sentinel defense rose to the occasion and denied the attempt. When Ti got the ball, Graney hit DuShane, who made a circus catch, to forge the tie. Denno then calmly kicked the extra point for the victory. Graney finished the game with 11 yards passing an two touchdowns. Wright ran for 57 yards and a score.

The stage is set for the Section VII Class D football championship showdown. Ticonderoga and Moriah will face off at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at AuSable Valley High School. The winner gets the section title and a berth in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association playoff tournament. Ticonderoga enters the championship game with a 7-2 mark, while Moriah is 4-4. Ti beat Moriah, 24-12, earlier this season at home. Moriah won last seasonÕ s title game. The arch rivals tuned up for the big game with victories Oct. 24.
Cole Gaddor led Moriah to a 27-24 victory over Saranac Lake in a Section VII cross-over game Oct. 24. Gaddor threw four touchdown passes, leading the Vikings on a clutch scoring drive in the closing minutes as they came from behind to win. C.J. Raymond hauled in a 23-yard TD pass from Gaddor in the second period, but Moriah trailed 18-6 in before rallying. Gaddor connected with Ranier Garnica from 29 yards away for a score and with Bill Petro from 8 yards out for another TD as Moriah took a 21-18 advantage. Saranac Lake regained the lead early in the final quarter, 24-21, setting up Gaddor for his late heroics. The signal caller led his Vikings down field, hitting Garnica with a 23-yard touchdown pass for the winning points. Gaddor finished the game completing 9-of-17 passes for 167 yards and four TDs. Troy Welch provided some balance for Moriah, running for 87 yards. After allowing Saranac Lake to run for 127 yards in the first half, the Moriah defense tightened up in the second half and limited the Red Storm to 69 yards on the ground.

ADIRONDACKS Ñ The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the Department of Environmental Conservation today announced emergency regulations to prohibit the importation of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) susceptible deer into the State. The protection of the stateÕ s deer population is important not only to the balance of the ecosystem but also is critical to supporting the hundreds of thousands of sportsmen and women whose recreational activities contribute some $780 million in economic impact statewide. Ò These emergency measures will help mitigate the risk of CWD taking a firm hold here in New York State,” said State Acting Agriculture Commissioner James B. Bays. Ò IÕ m a hunter and an avid outdoorsman, and keeping New YorkÕ s wild and captive deer herds healthy will help protect multi-million dollar industries that create jobs and provide recreational opportunities for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. From our agencyÕ s perspective, the most important thing that we can do is limit the exposure of deer to CWD. ThatÕ s exactly what these regulations will do.Ó DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said, Ò New York State has a long tradition of deer hunting and deer management. It is imperative that we remain vigilant and prevent Chronic Wasting Disease from entering the State. These regulations will bolster existing protections already in place in New York and help to maintain a vibrant population of our most sought after game species. This show of stewardship help will ensure that sportsmen and sportswomen continue to have great deer hunting opportunities throughout the state.Ó The emergency regulations provide a ban on imports of specific species between November 16, 2013 and August 1, 2018. These species include Rocky Mountain elk, red deer, mule deer, blacktailed deer, white-tailed deer, sika deer, and moose. Currently 21 states including New York prohibit the importation of live deer. CWD is a fatal, neurologic disease to species of deer caused by a disease agent called a prion, which eventually destroys the brain tissue of infected animals. Prions are shed by infected animals in their saliva, feces and urine. The time from infection to the first outward signs of illness (animals appear weak and unsteady) may be two years or longer. Soil contaminated with CWD prions cannot be decontaminated and can remain as a source of CWD exposure to wild deer for years. At the present time, the only accepted means of diagnosis must be performed after an animal suspected of being infected with CWD is dead. The primary tool for preventing spread of CWD is the USDA Herd Certification program, which requires herds that wish to ship animals interstate to undergo a five year certification process involving surveillance testing and maintenance of herd inventories. While the program has helped slow the spread of
CWD, it cannot guarantee that certified herds will remain CWDfree. Despite the best efforts of qualified animal health professionals, CWD has arisen in four new states (PA, MO, MN, IA) since 2010 and all were participating in the Herd Certification program. The source of the most recent detection of CWD in both captive and wild deer in Pennsylvania remains unknown twelve months after the initial detection. Farms in other states purchased animals from the original infected herd in Pennsylvania; some escaped and some remain unaccounted for. Absent these regulations, states with potentially infected deer populations would be allowed to export deer to New York. Ò If we continue to allow imports, we could receive CWD exposed deer or elk that originated in one state and subsequently passed through a facility in a third state,Ó said State Veterinarian, Dr. David Smith. Ò ThatÕ s not a risk weÕ re willing to take here in New York. CWD is extremely difficult to detect and control and once present, the costs to the wild deer population, captive deer owners, and the entire state are high. We do not want this disease proliferating throughout our stateÕ s valuable wild populations and captive deer herds. New York will continue to work with stakeholders and animal health professionals as these important regulations move forward.Ó The costs of states to deal with outbreaks in CWD in terms of resources and tax dollars are tremendous. Prevalence rates in some parts of Wisconsin are over 20 percent just 10 years after the introduction of CWD into the state, costing the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources $14 million the first year alone, with much of the money pulled from other wildlife programs. Furthermore, the economic impact that CWD could have on New York State is considerable. Based on the most recent data, New YorkÕ s wild deer herds have a $780.5 million economic impact in the state, while the economic impact of captive deer is $13.2 million. There are an estimated 823,000 hunting licenses in New York and the state ranks third in the nation in residential hunters. In 2011, New York was fourth in the nation in spending by hunters and generated an estimated $290 million in state and local taxes. According to the latest data, there are 433 facilities across New York State that currently hold captive deer. Of these facilities, 25 imported a total of 400 CWD-susceptible deer from January 1, 2011 through March 29, 2013. New York will still permit the importation of deer semen for artificial insemination. Zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums will also be allowed to still import CWDsusceptible species. Bruce L. Akey, MS DVM, executive director, Animal Health Diagnostic Center, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, said: Ò The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Animal Health Diagnostic Center (AHDC) includes inter-

New regulations aimed at stopping the spread of CWD nationally recognized experts on the transmission of disease and the ecology of diseases in wildlife populations. Chronic Wasting Disease is a serious threat to New YorkÕ s wild white-tailed deer herd. With recent confirmation of CWD in Pennsylvania, our disease specialists are very concerned that CWD may once again be detected in New York. It is entirely appropriate that New YorkÕ s regulatory agencies, the Department of Agriculture and Markets and the Department of Environmental Conservation, take all reasonable measures to keep CWD out of New York. Given that there is no test currently available to detect CWD in live animals prior to movement, strong prevention measures are the only reasonable and economical way of managing CWD. Once CWD is confirmed in a population of white-tailed deer, the ecological and economic consequences will be catastrophic. We applaud the recent regulation prohibiting the importation of live captive white-tailed deer, the highest known risk factor for CWD.Ó
