Ti students host veterans
Ti vet celebrates 93rd birthday on Veterans Day
This Week TICONDEROGA
By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Charles Ò GusherÓ Smith has proudly served for decades. A World War II veteran, Smith has long been a civic leader in Ticonderoga Ñ perhaps best known for his work with fellow vets and his years as the local scoutmaster. “He’s an important fixture in our community,Ó Keith Barber said. Ò As a World War II veteran, a scoutmaster and an active community member Gusher has long served Ticonderoga.Ó Smith was honored along with other veterans during a Veterans Day program at Ticonderoga Elementary School. Veterans Day, Nov. 11, just happens to be SmithÕ s 93rd birthday. “I’m getting old,” Smith told Ti students, Ò but I can tell you Veterans Day is important. You need to know what has been done so you can live in freedom.Ó The Ticonderoga Elementary School program included a panel presentation by local veterans to fifth grade classes. Sponsored by the Ti Sons of The American Legion and the school, the program also included a video. Capping the event was a birthday cake for Smith, who was given handmade cards by the students. “Gusher is a real treasure,” said Barber, a retired Ti teacher who organized the program for the Sons of the American Legion. Ò Our World War II vets are fast becoming a rarity.Ó Assisting with the program were Principal John Donohue and fifth grade teachers Shelly Young and Kathy Moore. The veterans panel included Smith, a Navy vet; Nancy Paquette, an Air Force vet who served in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm; Mike Porter, a Navy veteran of 22 years; Tom Provoncha, who served in both the Air Force CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

‘Adk Lawn’ campaign under way around Lake George HAGUE Ñ Small, triangular signs with a bright red border are sprouting up on properties around Lake George in recent weeks. The lawn sign proclaims: Ò Adirondack Lawn GROWS HERE.Ó The arrow on the sign points to a lawn that uses no fertilizers or pesticides. Local water quality activists define an “Adirondack Lawn” as a property that does not use harmful chemicals and adheres to good stewardship practices; they are advocating for towns within the Lake George watershed to adopt a common Lake George Fertilizer Restriction Law. In order to show support of adopting an effective fertilizer law for Lake George, all residents are encouraged to display these lawn signs. The lawn sign is an initiative of the Hague Water Quality Awareness Committee. The HWQAC and other WQACs are grassroots community based groups around the lake. Resident activists are focused on water quality issues. When the Hague WQAC created this sign to raise awareness and educate property owners regarding increased algal blooms and impacts to water quality from fertilizers and pesticides, all groups supported the initiative. Ò IÕ m very encouraged by the response to the signs,Ó said Al Rider of the Hague WQAC, who designed and initiated the Ad-
irondack Lawn sign. “We’ve already distributed more than 600 of these signs to property owners. There is clearly a growing awareness among residents for the need for protective actions, including a fertilizer restriction law.Ó Rider said he has also discovered that many people, once they become aware of the impacts from fertilizers, commit to not using fertilizers. Ò ThatÕ s what this is all about Ð neighbors talking to neighbors to educate them about concrete actions they can take to protect the lake,Ó Rider said. He noted that fertilizers stimulate algae growth, which in turn depletes the lake of its dissolved oxygen. Property owners have some measure of control over sources of nutrients that stimulate algae growth, from fertilizer use, septic systems and stormwater runoff, he explained. Ò It is up to each individual who cares about the health of Lake George to ensure that our delicate water and ecosystems are protected. Posting a sign is one individual way to be proactive and to help unify a lakewide voice,Ó said Lisa Adamson of Assembly Point. Ò Even though we are at the end of the season, you can still post these signs until the snow comes. If necessary, bring your sign inside to avoid the harsh winter and snow plows and get

ready to repost them in early spring. By then hopefully all towns and the village will have the new proposed fertilizer restriction law on their meeting agendas and all municipalities will adopt the Lake George Fertilizer Restriction Law, unifying lake protection on this one issue.Ó Ò Fertilizers not only feed the lawn, but also feed unwanted algae and invasive aquatic plants in the lake. To avoid the need to use fertilizers, mow your lawn to a minimum of 3 inches, leave the grass clipping on the lawn to provide nitrogen (in lieu of adding fertilizer), and periodically aerate the soils to encourage healthier growth. Replace expansive lawns with native trees, shrubs and perennials to add root depth and increase infiltration and treatment of stormwater,Ó said Kathy Bozony, Lake George scientist, diver and activist. People wishing to post an Ò Adirondack LawnÓ sign can do so. To obtain a sign at the north end of the lake, call Rider at 6366326. At the south end call Lisa Adamson at 656-9794. In addition, the FUND has published a Do-It-Yourself Water Quality guide with valuable tips and information for property owners. The guide is available online at www.fundforlakegeorge.org, at the Fund’s office, and at Town Halls around the lake.

Don’t tread on the Thanksgiving holiday Traditions change over time Ñ Some for the good and others for the bad. As the holiday season approaches, there is one tradition, started within the past two decades, that in our opinion is much more for the bad than good. As early as 10 years ago, the popular thing to do after Thanksgiving dinner (and the cleanup if you were the lucky household to host) was to get up the next morning, around 6 or 7 a.m., drive on over to the local department store and see what there was to buy in a tradition that started to be called, Ò Black Friday.Ó Why black? Because this one shopping day created so much revenue for stores, it was the day that their books went from being in the red (debt) to being in the black (profit). Since then, things have started to change, and not, we feel, for the better. A 6 a.m. opening became 5 a.m. Not to be outdone, the competitor started opening their doors at 4 a.m., then 3 a.m., 2 a.m., 1 a.m. and even midnight Black Friday. Last year, the wave of tradition going wrong breached over the sea wall, spilling over into Thanksgiving Day with stores starting their deals and specials as early as 6 p.m. The tidal wave has continued into this year as more and more stores have announced that, instead of giving their employees the day off to be with family and friends and to prepare for the onslaught of Black Friday customers, many are going to keep their doors open Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28 and start the deals even earlier. These businesses include K-mart, Target, Sears, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Macy’s, J.C. Penny, Kohl’s and Wal-Mart, to name a few. Some of these stores will still wait until the evening to open, while others will operate Thanksgiving Day as if it were Aug. 28. Why? Some retailers have claimed with the, Ò holiday shopping season,Ó the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, cut down by six days, they need the extra time. If Black Friday is the single largest profit-making day of the year though, the eight extra hours should not matter in the grand scheme of attaining the all-mighty dollar. It is not as if there is a competitive advantage to opening a day earlier because, as we have seen with every other promotion, once one company does it, everyone else falls in line and follows suit. What will all of this mean? It mean these big box companies will force their employees to work on Thanksgiving Day. For a college student or young adult who needs their job in order to support themselves, they are put in a tough position because they fear losing their jobs but also yearn for the traditions and family bonding that comes with the traditional Thanksgiving. Really, if officials of these companies stepped back for a minute and considered the repercussions of their actions, they would see that putting their employees in this situation does not shed one ounce of positive light on either them or their companies. Thanksgiving Day is Ñ or should we say was Ñ one of only two holidays that were still viewed in the world of retail with some level of reverence and solemnity, along with Christmas Day. They are the two days that you would never even think about going to the store because you knew that the store was closed so shop owners and employees could be where they belonged, at home with family and friends. Yes, Christmas has been over-commercialized as stores start their advertising blitzes and holiday music before kids have even put on their Halloween costumes, but the day in and of itself has always been seen as, Ò hands off,Ó the way Thanksgiving used to be, as well. So, on Nov. 28, we encourage everyone to be where they belong, wherever family and friends are, enjoying the holiday. Worry about shopping the next day or thereafter because the dirty little secret is: if the product is still there, so are the deals touted by these retailers. Ñ

Prepare for winter
Enter photo contest
To the Times of Ti:
To the Times of Ti:
The Hague Volunteer Fire Department is now busy preparing its apparatus for the winter season. Chief Ray Mury strongly suggests that everyone does the same. Begin by being sure you have winter safe tires and a strong battery. Additionally, every vehicle should carry a winter emergency kit in the event of a breakdown. If you get stranded in a snow storm, do not leave your vehicle or leave it running for long periods of time. At home, make sure flues and chimneys are clean. The PAC pro wrestling fund raiser was a slamming success. Support from the community was outstanding, thank you! We will be holding our department board and officer electing at the next meeting, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. In October we responded to 12 fire calls and drills using 232 volunteer hours and one EMS call coupled with many continuing medical education hours. MR-3, our fire rescue boat, will be removed from the water and stored for the winter. Congratulations to our newest member, Steve Ò FletchÓ Fleischacker. Ò FletchÓ brings to our community decades of experience in emergency medical services. Our department has another new emergency medical technician. SJ Santaniello passed the New York State EMT certification process and will be serving the community as a driver and medical technician. A huge thank you goes to both volunteers. The HVFD is looking for new members, especially anyone willing to drive the ambulance. A correction from the October printing, E5 staffing services is not paying the $1 an hour to drivers, this incentive is being paid by the Hague Fire Department. We will pay our volunteer drivers $1 an hour, in the form of a refillable Stewart’s gas card, paid monthly. This is for any and all hours you volunteer to driver our ambulance between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m Monday through Friday. If you are interested, you need a valid New York State driverÕ s license. Training will be provided by the department. The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if you can avoid it. Do not go out until the snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do their work, and allow extra time to reach your destination. S.J. Santaniello Hague Volunteer Fire & EMS

Because people research vacations online, your pictures will help promote our local economies. And that makes everyone a winner. Chris Maron, executive director Champlain Area Trails Westport
Support local businesses To the Times of Ti: Most of our local businesses suffer when the weather turns cold. This is especially true of our downtown, or Montcalm Street businesses. Before you set out north or south to shop, think what Ticonderoga would be like without any local businesses or shops. We cannot, I repeat, we cannot afford to lose more local businesses and shops. A vibrant downtown is paramount to a healthy town. When go out of town to shop we may save a couple of dollars, but what we save is quickly lost in fuel costs. Support our local shopping district while we still have one. Take pride in our community.
Service project a success

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and express a huge thank you to Jamie Harrington and all of the young ladies of the Royal Winter Pageant. On Saturday, Nov. 2, they completed a community service project by asking for donations to support the Kiwanis-sponsored Ticonderoga BackPack Program at StewartÕ s, Walmart, Rite Aid and Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union. The backpack program provides additional food and nutrition to local area children by sending them home for the weekend with backpacks filled with shelf-stable, easily prepared foods. This community service project was a huge success. The ladies of the Royal Winter Pageant raised $1,174.51 for the backpack program. This amount is more than enough to provide weekend backpacks for seven eligible students throughout the entire school year. One hundred percent of all donations to the backpack program are used to buy the food for the backpacks. Thanks to the support we have received from the Royal Winter Pageant and other generous donors, we have been able to grow the backpack program from 30 to 90 participating students in less than one year. Thanks again to everyone associated with the Royal Winter Pageant who made this community service project such a big success. We would also like to thank everyone in our community who supported the young ladies by donating. We thank you, but the kids and their families thank you even more!

Correction To the Times of Ti: I would appreciate it if you could correct how I said taxes would be raised and revenue. I had said I would raise taxes as needed in small (baby) steps 2 percent plus 1-1 1/2 percent or increments each year to allow the town to operate and pay down debt to prevent a large increase later on. I then said I wanted to generate revenue. Not in baby steps. The rest of the article was very clear and correct and I do deeply appreciate your time. Thank you. Steven W . Whitford Ticonderoga
CROP Walk fights hunger To the Times of Ti: The Ti Area CROP Walk was a wonderful success. The sky was blue with a calm breeze on Saturday, Oct. 19. Sixty six family and friends walked to alleviate hunger in the world. Thank you to everyone who helped us, to everyone who walked and to everyone who donated. We raised over $8,000 in our war against hunger. Our food pantries in Hague, Crown Point and Ticonderoga will receive 25 percent of the monies raised. We also thank our corporate sponsors who said Ò YesÓ to our invitation for support. They are: Ti McDonalds, I.P. Ti Mill, HackerCraft, Ti Federal Credit Union, Wilcox and Regan, Gunnison Orchards, Pat Armstrong Excavating, The Lookout Tavern in Killington, Northern Lake George Rotary Club, Jenn Johnson at Keller Williams, Walmart, Snug Harbor and the Torch Club. We look forward to walking with you next year. We walk so that others who walk for food and water may know we care. Bob and Sue Johnson, co-chairs Ti Area CROP Walk

Charles “Gusher” Smith celebrated his 93rd birthday at a Veterans Day program at Ticonderoga Elementary School. From left are veterans Nancy Paquette, Smith, Mike Arthur, Tom Provoncha and Craig Cassidy. and Army for a combined 26 years; and Craig Cassidy, a Vietnam era Army veteran. Ò This is a wonderful program,Ó Young said. Ò I think the veterans enjoy it. I know the kids do, as well.Ó Paquette spent 20 years as an administrative assistant in the Air Force. She told students military life can be rewarding. “It was a really great experience,” Paquette said. Ò I enjoyed my 20 years. IÕ ve never regretted a moment of it.Ó
www.timesofti.com Arthur spent 22 years in the Navy as a cook. At his retirement he was serving aboard the USS Ticonderoga. During his career he visited all seven continents. Ò The Navy provided me with so many opportunities,Ó Arthur said. Ò How many people can say theyÕ ve been to all seven continents? I can. The Navy really gives people a chance to develop their assets.Ó Provoncha has also been to all seven continents, as well as 52 countries. He has circled the world 13 times as an Air Force air combat crewman and then as an Army infantryman. The military is a great career, he told students. Ò There are a lot of things that go into making a soldier that people donÕ t think about,Ó Provoncha said. Ò The military needs all kinds of people, all kinds of skills. Ò ThereÕ s nothing in the military you canÕ t do,Ó he said. Ò Anything you can do in civilian life you can do in the military.Ó Cassidy went into the Army as a private and eventually became an officer. He recalled growing up the Port Kent area. “I could hunt, fish, swim, do anything and I never had to worry about someone dropping a bomb,Ó he said. Ò I could do that because of the servicemen at the Plattsburgh Air Force Base and around the world. I decided I wanted to do that. Ò In the military itÕ s our job to keep the bad guys out so you can have a good 18 years to grow up,” Cassidy added. Ò Then you can return the favor.Ó The Ticonderoga Sons of the American Legion sponsor a number of veterans and patriotic-related events at Ti Elementary School. Besides the Veterans Day program, the sons offer students presentations on Pearl Harbor, World War II in Europe and World War II in the Pacific. The Sons of the American Legion also sponsor a school-wide patriotism essay contest each spring. Winners receive cash awards and certificates. All participants receive free ice cream courtesy of Stewarts.

he North Country SPCA is currently running an adoption special, Home for the Holidays, from now until Jan. 1. We are hoping that many of our furry friends will find their forever homes in plenty of time to ring in the new year, with adoption fees of $10 for cats and $25 for dogs. If you have been considering adding a four-legged family member to your home, there is no better time than the present! Regular adoption procedures apply. For more information, please contact our shelter staff at 873-5000. Our featured pet this week is Maddie, a Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher-mix who came in with her best friend Buddy, who is a Mastiff/Labrador Retriever-mix. Maddie is a little cautious around new people, but if you approach her gently and offer her a treat or two, this lady turns into a wiggly-waggly lump of sugar. Despite her somewhat fierce appearance, Maddie is really very sweet - she would rather be your couch potato than a guard dog! She is still a bit of a young pup, not yet two years old. When sheÕ s with her pal, Buddy, they do not seem to get along

Education commissioner to visit Schroon Lake Controversial Common Core forums resume By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ State Education Commissioner John King will hold a forum at Schroon Lake Central School to discus the new Common Core curriculum. King will discuss the new learning standards Wednesday, Nov. 20, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. Ò Sen. Betty Little, BOCES district superintendents as well as area superintendents and possibly their boards of education, administrators and parents will attend,Ó said Bonnie Finnerty, Schroon Lake superintendent. Ò In addition, it is anticipated that Board of Regents members and other legislators may attend.Ó Finnerty said she no other information. The Common Core, standardized testing and King’s presentations have created controversy. Parent groups across New York have been critical of the new standards and the New York State Assessments, which were revised to align with the Common Core. Low scores on the 2013 assessments raised concerns. Several education groups, state legislators and others have
called for King to resign. King scheduled a series of forums across the state to discuss the new education measures, but he was heavily criticized following his first meetings. Following a forum in Poughkeepsie, when he was shouted off the stage, King canceled the remaining forums. Those first forums included long presentations by King and allowed little time for comment from parents, teachers and others. King, in a statement, blamed Ò special interestsÓ for disrupting the first scheduled meetings, which he said led him to cancel the other town hall-style meetings. Ò I was looking forward to engaging in a dialogue with parents across the state. I was eagerly anticipating answering questions from parents about the Common Core and other reforms weÕ re moving ahead with in New York State. Unfortunately, the forums sponsored by the New York State PTA have been co-opted by special interests whose stated goal is to dominate the questions and manipulate the forum,Ó King wrote. Ò The disruptions caused by the special interests have deprived parents of the opportunity to listen, ask questions and offer comments,Ó King said. Ò Essentially, dialogue has been denied. In light of the clear intention of these special interest groups to continue to manipulate the forum, the PTA-sponsored events scheduled have been suspended.Ó
King will try again with a revised presentation in Schroon Lake. Ò I want to have a respectful, direct and constructive dialogue with parents,Ó King said. Ò More and smaller discussions will make sure thereÕ s a real opportunity for parents to be heard. This is just the first round; we’ll continue to schedule forums for parents. We want these to be regular events. We want the conversation to rise above all the noise and make sure parents understand the Common Core, and, just as important, we want to understand parentsÕ concerns. We all share the same goal: to make sure our students have the skills and knowledge to be successful in a changing world.Ó The New York State Board of Regents approved the Common Core in 2010. The Common Core curriculum, which lays out what and how students should learn, has been adopted by 45 states. ItÕ s critics claim Common Core takes control away from local schools and teachers, while assuming all students learn the same way. King has been criticized for being unresponsive to concerns of parents, teachers and school administrators. HeÕ s also been criticized because he has never worked in a public school setting and sends his own children to a private school not bound by the Common Core.
Marnell, who was elected to his second term in office Nov. 5, believes Schroon is well-positioned for the future. “The first year of the tax cap we had to use fund balance to stay under the 2 percent,Ó he said. Ò Last year we didnÕ t have any
fund balance because we had used it the year before. Now weÕ ve built a little cushion and weÕ re able to hold on to it. That makes things a little easier.Ó
Schroon trims 2014 budget, comes in 1.2 percent lower By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Spending and taxes will decrease in 2014 for town of Schroon residents. The budget for next year, adopted by the town board, totals $1,693,744. That’s $20,349 — 1.2 percent — less than the current spending plan of $1,714,093. The amount to be raised by taxes in 2014 is $1,102,045. That’s $35,398 — 3.1 percent — less than the present tax levy of $1,137,443. “We tightened our ship; we didn’t use any fund balance,” Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said of the budget process. Ò We did it the way the state wants. We stayed under the tax cap and didnÕ t use any fund balance.Ó The New York State cap limits municipalities to annual tax increases of 2 percent or less. Ò There are no frills in this budget,Ó Marnell said. Ò Everyone had something they wanted, but unless it was an absolute necessity itÕ s not in this budget.Ó The 2014 budget includes a 30-cent an hour pay increase for the townÕ s hourly employees. The highway superintendent and town clerk will also get raises equating to 30 cents an hour. All other elected officials have accepted a pay freeze. Schroon has 35 year-round employees. That number swells to 47 in the summer, Marnell said. Helping Schroon officials in their budget deliberations was a reduction in employee health insurance costs. “We have a very good health insurance program for our employees, it’s a Cadillac,” Marnell. “Some cheaper insurance programs went up, but ourÕ s went down. That was a big help.Ó Schroon has done a good job over the years of maintaining its infrastructure and equipment, Marnell said, which prevents the need for major, high-priced projects. Ò We try to take care of what we have,Ó the supervisor said. Ò We try to do as much maintenance as possible in house.Ó
Nurse joins Schroon Lake HHHN clinic SCHROON LAKE Ñ Hudson Headwaters Health Network has announced nurse manager Jennifer Aitken, RN, will lead nursing care for patients at the Schroon Lake, ChestertownHoricon, and Bolton health centers. Aitken has worked in both intensive and critical care units at Glens Falls Hospital since 2005. Prior to 2005, Aitken worked at Moses Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga and at Good Samaritan Jennifer Aitken Hospital in West Islip,. She holds a bachelorÕ s degree in nursing from SUNY Stony Brook and a bachelorÕ s degree in environmental health from SUNY Fredonia. Ò I have found everyone to be very friendly, helpful, kind and a pleasure to work with. I have felt welcome from the very beginning. Thanks to everyone for making me feel at home,Ó Aitken said. Hudson Headwaters is a not-for-profit community-based network of health centers, serving the Adirondack, Lake George and Glens Falls region for more than 30 years.

Moriah From page 1 increase support of the library. This year’s fund raising campaign is at $3,100. “We’d really like to hit the $5,000 mark this year,” Bryant said. Ò We hope people who havenÕ t yet contributed, and who can do so, will make a donation.Ó Information on the libraryÕ s fund raising efforts has been mailed to Moriah and Port Henry residents. Information is also available at the library. Donations are tax deductible. Ò The town of Moriah has a long history of being very generous,Ó Bryant said. Ò We hope to continue that tradition.Ó The library has also joined forces with the Adirondack Foundation, formerly the Adirondack Community Trust. A charitable trust, the Adirondack Foundation can assist people who wish to donate stocks, bonds, real estate or make bequests. “As a library partner they can help with tax and privacy issues,Ó Bryant said. Staley Rich, library board president, said public support is crucial for the local library. Ò We cannot do all that we hope to do without your support and ask you to join us in making this a reality for our community,” Rich said in a fund-raising letter. “It is your generous donations that make possible the repairs and upgrades the library needs, and the programs the library offers.Ó The Sherman Free Library welcomes about 600 visitors a month, according to Andrea Anesi, library director. It has seven public computers, free internet access, books, DVDs, books on

November 16, 2013
CDs, E-books and more. It also offers local history resources and serves as a exhibition area for local artists and authors. Ò People are often surprised to learn about everything we have available,” Anesi said. “Through the Essex-Clinton-Franklin Library System we have more than 900 E-books available. We can get people almost anything theyÕ re interested in.Ó The Sherman Free Library is open Tuesday and Wednesday noon to 4 p.m., Thursday and Friday noon to 7 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The library opened Jan. 17, 1887. George Riley Sherman, a partner in the Witherbee & Sherman Mining Co., provided $7,700 to build the library and stock it with 3,000 books with the stipulation that the library be free to patrons. Sherman also provided a $10,000 endowment. In 1901 Jane Sherman added another $10,000 to that endowment. The library has been using that endowment since, although it is shrinking after more than a century. The library was enlarged in 1907. A Dec. 7, 1907, fire severely damaged the building and it was rebuilt, re-opening Aug. 12, 1908. Ò To many of us, the Sherman Free Library is more than books,Ó Rich said. Ò ItÕ s more than free WiFi and computers, itÕ s more than book clubs and monthly programs. It is an icon that has stood the test of time with its paneled walls, graceful architecture and hushed atmosphere.Ó Pictured at right: The Sherman Free Library, located in Port Henry, is in the midst of its annual fund raising campaign. Bill Bryant, library finance committee chairman, and Andrea Anesi, library director, are urging people to support the effort.

Crown Point garden gets attention Carillon Garden Club plants spring flowers By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ Winter is nearing, but the Carillon Garden Club is already thinking spring. Club members recently planted 200 daffodil bulbs at the Blue Star Memorial Garden near the Crown Point Bridge. Carillon Garden Club members Judy Walker, Jackie Viestenz, Joyce Cooper and Betty Rettig completed the project. The Blue Star Memorial Garden has been refurbished to include seasonal plantings for spring, summer and fall. Ò The Blue Star Memorial Highway mark-
er and garden near the New York information building at the Crown Point Bridge has been undergoing a facelift over the past few months,Ó said Betty Rettig, garden club president. Ò Originally erected and landscaped in the late 1980s by the Elizabethtown/Westport and the Carillon garden clubs, the garden became overgrown obscuring the special sign.Ó The sign, designating the roadway as a Blue Star Memorial Highway, is Ò a tribute to the Armed Forces that have defended the United States of America.Ó It is sponsored by the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State in cooperation with District IV and the National Council of State Garden Clubs. Ò The idea of Blue Star Memorial Highway markers and By-Way plaques throughout the United States was first conceived after World War II to honor veterans,Ó Rettig said. Ò Later,

the concept was changed to honor all members of the armed services, past, present and future. The National Garden Club, Inc., formerly known as the National Council of State Garden Clubs, began their campaign after an inspiration from a State of New Jersey garden club. It was felt that beautification gardens and signs was a fitting living memorial to the men and women who have fought or are now serving in the defense of the United States of America.Ó Rettig said the Crown Point project has importance for the Ticonderoga-based garden club. Ò The Blue Star Memorial Highway marker and garden near the Crown Point Bridge is a very special and fitting place since our country was first established in part because of the ef-
forts of the men and women who lived, fought and defended this area,Ó she said. Ò Members of the Carillon Garden Club of Ticonderoga with funding from District IV and the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State have been very pleased to be able to refurbish this important garden,Ó Rettig said. Ò Jackie Viestenz, chairperson of the project, has done an excellent job designing and maintaining the garden along with Joyce Cooper, Judy Walker and myself. A variety of landscaping specimens will provide color and interest throughout the year.Ó A dedication ceremony will be scheduled in the spring.

Gender barriers coming down
R
oughrider Teddy Roosevelt was known to shrug off the most miserable weather, even after having spent hours on horseback. His obvious mental and physical toughness was not an indication that he was oblivious to the natural world. In fact, it was more likely an indication that Roosevelt was under some sort of spell. From his earliest years, Roosevelt was inexorably linked to the land. His spent his time catching and cataloging insects, studying birds and pursuing other courses of natural history. In 1906, the famed naturalist, John Burroughs remarked, “He (Roosevelt) craved once more to be alone with nature; he was evidently hungry for the wild and the aboriginal, a hunger that seems to come upon him regularly at least once a yearÉ Ó Roosevelt often placated this personal hunger with a hunting trip, a birding expedition or a camping outing. For Roosevelt, a trip into the wilds was a sure way to decompress and escape the duties of the day, and it remains so even into the internet era. Fortunately, many of the very same natural escapes that Roosevelt once enjoyed are still available to most Americans today. In fact, a recent study of outdoor recreation in New York provides a breakdown of New York recreation users. It reveals that 29 percent bicycle, 23 percent participate in wildlife viewing, 22 percent hike, 19 percent camp, 12 percent paddle, 8 percent fish, 8 percent snow sports and 4 percent hunt. However, the current research indicates the recent increases are not as gender specific as most would believe. In fact, female hunters currently constitute the majority of new hunters both in New York, and nationwide. Fortunately, the gender barriers that once defined outdoor pursuits such as hunting, fishing and camping as as the sole domain of the male of the species, have since been demolished. Today’s women are free to ride and hunt, fish and camp, or do just about anything a man can do and occasionally, just a little bit better.
Women on the Hunt
According to the most recent US Census Bureau statistics, after remaining stagnant for over a decade, the number of female hunters surged by 25 percent in just five years between 2006 and 2011.

More women than men took up hunting last year, according to new figures from the National Sporting Goods Association. While total hunters in the U.S. decreased slightly (.05 percent) between 2008 and 2009, the number of female hunters has increased by 5.4 percent overall. The data also indicates women outpaced men among net newcomers to target shooting, where female participation has grown by 4.1 percent. At last count, 11 percent of all U.S. hunters were female, compared to just 9 percent in 2006. Hunting is a pursuit that can be enjoyed with friends, family, or alone. In recent years, many health conscious outdoor enthusiasts have taken a serious look at the concept of harvesting a source of all natural, low cholesterol, free range, humanely harvested, all organic meat. Wild harvested fish, fowl and game remain the primary local source for a fresh supply of this natural bounty. Better yet, is all the healthy exercise that’s achieved in the pursuit of such outdoor recreational outlets. ThereÕ s another factor, too: family fun. Hunting is a way for women to be outdoors and enjoy nature while spending time with husbands and children who hunt. Other key elements responsible for the dramatic rise of modern day, woodswomen are the numerous state and national initiatives such as BOW: Becoming an Outdoor Woman, Doe Camp, and Ô Get the Girls Out!, which have created opportunities to inspire younger generations to storm mountains and develop the necessary skills to succeed on the mountains and in life! Traditionally, a male family member has often been the person responsible for introducing children to outdoor pursuits. Typically, that person was a father, grandfather or an uncle who considered such activities as masculine pursuits that were not appropriate for women. However, times are changing as women have become a dominant force in the field. In fact, a recent national poll revealed 85 percent of all women expressed an interest in getting involved in one or more outdoor activities in the next two years. Currently, 61 percent of all women participate in outdoor recreation and 31 percent have introduced others to their favorite sport. From a marketing perspective, retailers have taken notice of recent recreational trends toward women in the outdoors. Companies such as LLBean, CabelaÕ s, Orvis, Matthews, Browning and others now provide gender specific outfitting for female hunters, anglers and sportswomen. Rather than utilizing equipment designed for children, women can now purchase new outdoor gear that was specifically created with women in mind. The new gear includes lighter bows, shorter rifle stocks, anatomically correct clothing and smaller handles on everything from fly rods to pistols to ski poles. The new gear is being driven by new demographics which indicate women are the newest and greatest market to ever hit the outdoor industry. Not only are women increasingly interested in the outdoors, they are also responsible for deciding nearly 80

The fashion industry has taken note of the trend of women in the outdoors, as evidenced in recent advertisements for JCrew and Este Lauder, which feature canoes, flyfishing and similar outdoor scenes percent of the family’s expenditures. The startling new growth in participation among women, while perhaps counterintuitive to many traditionalists, came as no surprise to the female Olympians of the USA Shooting Team, whose ever-increasing visibility has made them effective ambassadors, role models and recruiters of women to traditional outdoor sports. Ò Shooting is one of the most fun and empowering things you can teach a young girl or a grown woman,” explained Corey Cogdell, 23, a lifelong hunter and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in trap shooting. “Most men are surprised to find out that I am an avid outdoors woman and they are often intrigued to learn how they can get females in their own lives involved in hunting and shooting.Ó Cogdell is just one of several USA Shooting Team members who has parlayed an early interest in hunting into international success in shooting sports. It was an opportunity for women that didn’t even exist until Women’s shooting was officially added as an Olympic sport in 1984 (although U.S. rifle shooter Margaret Murdock won a medal competing against men in the 1976 games). Since that time, the U.S. women have won 10 Olympic medals in shooting, and four of those medals were won in the past four Olympics by Kim Rhode, a double-trap and skeet shooter who is now listed among the most elite and enduring athletes in all sports.
