Crammond scholarship awarded in Ti. PAGE 2 MORIAH
By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com
TICONDEROGA — On his fi rst day in offi ce Jan. 2, new Supervisor Bill Grinnell was already working on key issues from his campaign. “The water issue is at the top of the list,” Grinnell said. “The last board had closed on a parcel for a well and I was disappointed with that, but we will pick up the pieces and move forward from there.” Grinnell said that he wants to settle on what the town will have for a permanent source of water and what the cost will be to the taxpayers. He added that water is a natural resource that the town should also look at economically. “I think we should investigate the possibility of a bottling plant,” he said. “It is an industry that would utilize the high quality water we have around here and bring more people into town.” Grinnell said that he would like to see business open within the village where people would be more likely to support the local economy. “What strikes me is what has left when we used to have 900 people come out of the mill Friday afternoon who walked to the bank to cash their check and then stayed in town to spend it,” he said.

PORT HENRY — Port Henry will receive a facelift in 2014. The village has received a $131,311 grant for the rehabilitation of six buildings along Main Street. The New York
State Offi ce of Community Renewal grant was secured for Port Henry by PRIDE of Ticonderoga. “Hats off to the village of Port Henry and the wonderful volunteers there,” Sharon Reynolds, PRIDE executive director, said. “The energy and enthusiasm they’ve demonstrated shows Port Henry is ready for revitalization. They really want this to happen. It’s going to be a great project.” The grant money will be distributed to six property owners in the down-

Duane Crammond scholarship awarded Former Ti High runner receives $1,000 grant
TICONDEROGA — Hannah Herbst, a former Ticonderoga High School distance runner and honor student, has been given the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship by LaChute Road Runners Club. The $1,000 award goes to a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track & field who attends college full-time. The winner, selected by a scholarship committee, is a person who reflects the strong academic, athletic and character traits of Crammond. He died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24. The scholarship is presented in January because it requires the recipient to complete a semester of college with a 3.0 GPA or better to be eligible. It was awarded at the club’s annual Resolution Run Jan. 1. Herbst, a 2013 Ti High graduate, is a freshman at the University of Notre Dame. “It’s a great honor to received the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship,” Herbst said. “I’m too young to remember Duane Crammond, but I know our community holds him in great respect. It’s a privilege to be associated with him in any way. “I’m very thankful to the LaChute Road Runners,” she said. “Not only will the scholarship help with my studies, it’s a testament to the hard work of the club in supporting our sport, local youth and education.”
This year marks $10,000 in scholarships awarded in Crammond’s memory by the LaChute Road Runners Club. “Duane was a great runner, but he was so much more,” Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, said. “He set a great example for younger runners through his work ethic and determination to succeed. “We’re pleased we can honor Duane with a scholarship and, at the same time, help someone meet their college goals,” he added. Scholarship applications are available at the Ticonderoga High School guidance office, by contacting Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, at 585-7206, and online at http://www.lachute. us/misc_PDF/Scholarship.pdf Application deadline is June 1. Those who wish to donate toward the scholarship can send contributions to Karkoski at 25 Black Point Road, Ticonderoga 12883. Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the college’s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPI’s indoor and outdoor track teams. After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake.
Hannah Herbst, a former Ticonderoga High School distance runner and honor student, has been given the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship by LaChute Road Runners Club. The awarded was presented by Tim Malaney, club president, during the group’s 12th annual Resolution Run Jan. 1.

Cuomo announces property tax freeze By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Less than a week into the new year, the Essex County Board of Supervisors may already have a stiff challenge when it comes to staying with its budget plan. Gov. Andrew Cuomo showed his fi scal hand two days prior to the annual State of the State address Jan. 6, proposing a two-year property tax freeze for residents as long as their political leaders keep budget increases within the state’s tax levy cap. Under his proposal, tax credits would be given to residents of any municipality where the government stays within the cap in the next two fi scal years which would, in essence, freeze their tax rate. “If they stay within the cap in year one, we will credit the residents of the locality for the two percent increase,” Cuomo said in his press conference. “In year two, the locality must stay within the tax cap and also must take steps to eliminate costs through shared services or consolidation.” For 2014, Essex County increased its tax levy 13.35 percent, the fi rst step in a fi ve year plan to bring the county back to a balanced budget.
“I have not seen the whole thing yet so I do not have anything offi cial to say on it,” County Manager Dan Palmer said when asked about the Cuomo initiative. “What I have always said, though, and my main problem with the tax cap is that it has nothing to do with the taxes that you pay. Essex County has a tax rate of $2.82 (per $1,000 assessed property value) and while Clinton County is over $6 and based on this year, their residents would get the credit.” Palmer said the county has looked at ways to consolidate services, which is part of year two of the freeze. “The real big elephant in the room for schools and towns is the consolidation issue, but it is still kind of a dirty word out there,” Palmer said. Essex County Board Chairman Randy Douglas said in hindsight, maybe the county should have bit the complete bullet in their planning for the 2014 budget. “What may have been better for us looking at it now would have been to do the 30-percent increase to get us back to a balanced budget this year and then we would be reap the benefi ts of the credit next year,” Douglas said. “What is frustrating is we had seven years where we had a zero percent increase and we worked hard to share services and we have not received any
credits for that.” In his State of the County address Jan. 6, Douglas said the county has on average been under the 2 percent number that has become associated with the tax levy cap for the past 10 years. “I know that he is trying to do the right thing,” Douglas later said about Cuomo’s plan. “In our towns we may very well be able to do it, but at the county I am not so sure until we are able to get this budget fi xed.” Cuomo said there are 10,500 different governments throughout the state of New York which is why consolidation is needed. “Across the state everyone agrees with the concept, then they do nothing,” he said. “If you want the people in your district to get the tax credit, then step up and take concrete steps to save money through shared serviced or consolidation. If you do not want it then do nothing. But then the people in your district will not get the credit and you will have to explain to them why they did not.” Cuomo said local governments should start coming together now to talk about sharing services. “Get to a table now and fi nd out what costs you can share,” he said. “Let’s cooperate, let’s collaborate and fi nd out where there are some savings.”

Horace Nye sale delayed into new year By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The sale of the Horace Nye Nursing Home is not complete, yet. Members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors approved the use of $128,000 from fund balance to operate the currently county-owned facility in Elizabethtown for another month during its Jan. 6 organizational meeting. The plan for the care facility to be completely transferred over to Center For Specialty Care out of New York City by Dec. 31 fell through when sides could not agree on several contractual issues. “We are trying to work out 20 contracts with various people,”
County Attorney Dan Manning said. “We are trying to fi gure out what contracts they will assume and what contracts they will not assume, so that has created a delay in the closing date.” Manning said that there were other, minor issues facing the closing along with the contract matters. “There are a few loose ends real property wise, but we should not have any problems with that,” he said. “We need to enter into a side agreement with the public works building which is technically on the Horace Nye property so we will cut that piece of land out.” County Manager Daniel Palmer said the $128,000 represents the amount of money needed to fi ll the monthly cap the county faces when it comes to the operation and maintenance of the facility.
“That is the amount that we talk about when we say that we do not break even in the operation of the Horace Nye Home,” Palmer said. “We did not budget for operating the home in the 2014 budget, so we need to take the $128,000 out of fund balance allows us to operate through the month of January.” Palmer said that other “legacy costs,” such as retirement and other benefi ts, were part of the 2014 county spending plan, and that the funds being used were solely for O&A costs. Both Manning and Palmer were confi dent that all issues would be resolved before the end of the month. “We were pushing hard for Dec. 31 but there were so many contracts that were still out,” Palmer said. “At this point, though, I do feel confi dent that Specialty Care will be the owner of the nursing home at the end of the month.”
Three new supervisors sworn into office By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — One of the new members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors entered his fi rst elected offi ce, while a second moved up from his town council seat to the chief administrative position and a third returned after a two-year hiatus. Those were the backgrounds of Ed Gardner of Essex, Shaun Gilliland of Willsboro and Noel Merrihew of Elizabethtown as they were all sworn in as members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors Jan. 6. “It took one of those moments that could have come with apprehension and diminished that,” Merrihew, a former chairman of the coun-
ty board, said. “I am looking to quietly ease my way back in and contribute. So far it has been pretty straight-forward and I am trying to get reorganized and become familiar with the personnel and the procedures.” For Gilliland, the town offi ces in Willsboro look very different then when he was serving as a councilman. “Effectively, we have a whole new crew at the town offi ce with the number of retirements and newly elected offi cials,” Gilliland said. “It is a wide open chalkboard to set things the way we want to. Having been a member of the board does give me a little bit more information on the recent history.” Gilliland said that transition process has been like “jumping onto the freeway” and he continues to learn the ropes.
“There is a lot to learn in a short amount of time, but I have had all kids of support as we have gotten started.” Gilliland also had the task of replacing his vacated town council seat in Willsboro, with the board unanimously voting to appoint Lane Sayward to the position. Sayward had fi nished third in the November election and at the time Gilliland said he would be in favor of giving the seat to the person who fi nished with the highest number of votes that was not elected.
In Essex, Gardner also said he has been pleased with the support received from the community. “I have been surprised with the amount of cooperation with people and how helpful they have all been,” Gardner said. “There are a lot of people who have said they want to help in a lot of different areas. There is a lot of experience from former town supervisors and I have a great deputy in Claire LaPine.”

Legalizing marijuana: Lets look at the facts
A
week ago, the seemingly unthinkable happened: marijuana became legal in one of the United States: Colorado. Today, the governor of New York is rumored to be standing on the precipice of joining 20 other states plus the District of Columbia in legalizing marijuana for medical purposes. So far, so good…no bodies are littering the street, no crimewaves are crashing on Colorado’s shores, nothing. In the wake of Colorado, and in the midst of New York’s potential change, a frank conversation about marijuana prohibition in this country is long overdue. A conversation where neither side is vilified, nobody assumes a moral higher ground, and facts take precedence to conjecture and scare tactics. In politics, and marijuana prohibition is as political an issue as there ever was, there is an age-old adage: follow the money. The money trail surrounding marijuana and its innocuous cousin hemp is lengthy. During the Colonial Era, every colony grew hemp. According to one report, hemp was the largest agricultural crop worldwide in 1883. The first laws against hemp in this country were pushed by the all-powerful cotton lobby in southern states. Hemp, with its myriad of industrial uses, directly threatened cotton and could be grown almost everywhere. Over the intervening years, marijuana, and hemp by association, were made illegal both on the state and federal level, mostly on moralistic grounds. Laws prohibiting marijuana reached their first apex in the early 1970s, with both Nixon’s war on drugs and New York’s Rockefeller Drug Laws. The 1980s and 1990s saw both laws and sentences for convictions continually ratcheted up and up. These are the facts. One of the areas we should discuss, again openly and honestly, is has this prohibition worked? In 1937, it was estimated that some 55,000 Americans used marijuana. One recent study determined that 25 million Americans have used marijuana in the past year. A similar proliferation of the number of alcohol drinkers was seen during alcohol prohibition. It’s estimated that during prohibition, there were more speakeasies in New York City than there are bars today. When alcohol prohibition was in effect, it also brought about a tremendous rise in organized crime and spin-off crimes like prostitution, illegal gambling, and narcotic trafficking. People who associated with the speakeasies to drink were thus exposed to these other crimes. Alcohol, because of prohibition, was the original gateway drug. Today the United States incarcerates more people than any country in the world. Not the industrialized world, or the post-modern
world, but the world. We incarcerate about 716 people per 100,000 in population, and this number does not count people incarcerated in county jails. For perspective, Cuba incarcerates 510, Rwanda 492, and Russia 484 per 100,000. The conversation should be had as to whether or not prohibition is working. So with prohibition so deeply entrenched, who benefits from its continuation? More importantly, do these groups have any political clout? The repeated wars on drugs waged by politician after politician have ushered in a golden age for police, and their unions, corrections, and their unions, and judges and prosecutors. The prison-industrial complex in the United States, the largest in the world, would take a direct hit from an end of prohibition. Drugs, primarily marijuana, have fueled a 20-year boom in prison building and staffing. Likewise, from Nixon, through Reagan, Clinton and both Bushes, putting “cops on the street” has been a rallying cry, and pumping officers and money into police agencies has been the result. Would any of these groups have the political clout to balk at the idea of ending prohibition? This leaves the real “Big Three” players in keeping prohibition in effect: alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals. Let’s face it, Americans will self-medicate to some extent. At the end of the day, or sometimes unfortunately in the middle, people will ingest chemicals to help take the edge off. This has been going on since the beginning of time. Today, it is legally done with a drink or several at the end of the day; a cigarette for those so inclined, or a prescription for a “Mother’s Little Helper.” These three groups represent possibly the three most powerful lobbying groups in the United States. The pharmaceutical industry, for instance, has in the neighborhood of 1,300 lobbyists in Washington, D.C. alone. If prohibition was to be lifted, and Americans would produce their own self-medication, would these industries potentially suffer? Do they have reason now to pump millions of dollars into keeping prohibition in effect? This is another discussion that should be had. Colorado ending pot prohibition has finally put the discussion of marijuana on the table, and Americans are discussing the topic en masse from a new perspective for possibly the first time, from a position where facts outweigh moral spin. You simply can’t legislate morality. We applaud Governor Cuomo for putting the topic on the frontburner in this state as well. Now we should let facts, and not special interest groups and political spin, rule the day. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Letters to the Editor
Misinterpretation To the Times of Ti:
I may be wrong, but I believe Mr. Gardner’s interpretation of the political cartoon published in the Times of Ti Dec. 20 (“Bigoted Cartoon”, Letters to the Editor, Jan. 4) was in error. My view of that cartoon was that it underscored the gross hypocrisy of some large corporations that, while showing disregard for any morality whatsoever by wreaking havoc on their community (for example, by underpaying their workers and polluting the environment), they would take advantage of any opportunity they had to not provide health care insurance to their employees by pretending to be bound by some moral or religious belief. If we, as a country, had elected to provide our citizens with universal health care as the healthier developed countries of the world have, we wouldn’t be struggling with all these difficult legal and religious nuances of Obamacare. (But we would likely be struggling with an angry medical insurance industry.) Nevertheless, Obamacare does not “curtail religious freedom” it only tries to make sure that organizations and individuals providing medical care to the general public do not discriminate in the care they provide based on their own religious beliefs. That would be tantamount to forcing one’s religious beliefs on another person. Lawsuits currently before the federal courts are attempting to untangle some of these areas of confusion and contention.

Panther pride To the Times of Ti:
Shame Mr. Richard Wray? (“Shame on Crown Point” letter Dec. 28) The Crown Point-Ticonderoga school merger would not be a merger, but, in fact, a takeover. This same takeover has been the pipe dream of “small citizens group” for more than 20 years. Crown Point residents would have no difficulty imagining what such a takeover would look like. It’s thoroughly insulting for non-residents to question what kind of school environment the people of Crown Point want raise their children in while an opportunistic few envision Crown Point soaking up Ticonderoga’s substantial debt. Meanwhile, Ticonderoga kids would continue to walk about
with their faces painted in Ti-pride, cheering on their cherished football team, subsidized by Crown Point taxpayers. Charming. Crown Point has been a quality school for a very long time, and one with pride in it’s own educational and sports accomplishments. If the Ticonderoga school has a cash flow problem, here’s a suggestion; cut expensive non-essential school programs, perhaps some team sport with very high insurance premiums. Brian Hudon Crown Point
Credit where credit is due To the Times of Ti:
The article in the Times of Ti regarding International Paper and Inter-Lakes supporting workforce training at Ti High (Jan. 4) was nicely written and positive publicity for the program and the organizations that participate. I am writing to clarify the last sentence, “The Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance also offers National Workforce Readiness Credential training locally through North Country Community College at its Ticonderoga campus.” After all that the alliance has written and you have generously published in the Times of Ti, one would think it is our program. Though this is an Alliance initiative, I feel it is important to give credit to the other organizations who make it happen. The National Work Readiness Credential training for adults is provided locally by a CV-Tec instructor at the NCCC campus with support from: North Country Workforce Investment Board, who provides vouchers for the testing; One-Work Source, who accepts applications and screens applicants for their ability to successfully complete the program; Literacy Volunteers of Essex County, who provide reading and math instruction for adult students who need it to succeed; Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, who organizes local businesses to conduct student job interviews at the end of the program; and NCCC, who provides the class room and computer lab for taking the online test. This collaboration provides the training and testing at no charge to adult students, thus making it accessible to those who need it most. Chattie Van Wert, executive director Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance
Ti’Coustic is a hit To the Times of Ti:
There are so many talented people that live in our communities, and so many that participate in local civic and community organizations. But sometimes someone steps up individually to do something extraordinary and should be recognized for their contribution. Roberta Whiteley is one of those people. If you didn’t catch the Ti ‘Coustic holiday show, it was terrific. Ti ‘Coustic Café is Roberta’s brainchild. As a musician herself, she thought that there should be an opportunity for all the talented musicians in our area to gather together and play in the format of the 1960s coffee house. She got the Burleigh House to host it every other Wednesday, called a bunch of people she knew, twisted some arms, and spread the word. It’s turned into a really wonderful thing and it gets me out of the house on a weeknight but doesn’t keep me out late. It’s a great way to foster community, great for a local business — especially in the off season when they need to generate business, and fun, fun, fun. The holiday season finale featured about 20 performers and 60 audience members who raised a joyful noise in the sing alongs to end the season. It’s a great example of how an individual can utilize their personal passions to improve the quality of all our lives in this community. So I’m lifting a holiday glass in toast to Roberta for a great idea, and stepping up to make it happen. I’m very much looking forward to Ti ‘Coustic Café in 2014. Donna Wotton Hague

Ticonderoga From page 1 “I want to get back to that and put people back in the downtown area. We have the mill and we have the fort, now we need something to bring people into the village, and I think it can happen.” Along with the challenges facing the new supervisor at the town level, Grinnell also took the oath of offi ce as a member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors during the organizational meeting Jan. 6. “I’m looking forward to getting my feet wet at the county and I plan to represent Ticonderoga in a strong, straight-forward manner,” he said. Grinnell steps into one of the most important seats in the county. Ti holds 387 weighted votes, the second largest block in Essex County after North Elba. On the issue of the county budget, Grinnell said he was a supporter of the current fi ve year plan in place to try and create a balanced budget. “I think they are really trying to do the right thing in regards to the budget and in regards to the tax cap,” Grinnell said. “When you are governed by property tax, it is hard to balance the needs of the taxpayers with the ability to pay. While the percentage increase looks extreme, the actual dollars and cents are not. If this

is what will make the county whole then bite the bullet, get past it and move forward.” Grinnell added that if the dollar fi gures were to get too extreme, he would re-evaluate his position. “I think you stick to the plan and be fi scally responsible, then they can get out of the mess from there,” he said. Grinnell also addressed the issue of the transfer stations, saying that the town needed to create more revenue through it usage. “The station has operated at a less than profi table level for a number of years and I believe that we can do better in that area,” he said. “We are going to develop a plan for the transfer station before the county makes any decisions on whether or not they are going to stay in the business.” Pictured at right: Bill Grinnell, right, takes the oath of office as Ticonderoga supervisor during the Essex County Board of Supervisors meeting Jan. 6.

PORT HENRY — Now that the funding is in place, addressing the continuing deterioration of the Bulwagga Bay shoreline will be a top priority for the town of Moriah in 2014. “That project has to be completed,” Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said on the first working day of the new year. Scozzafava said the work, which was scheduled to start last year, was put on hold while the town waited for official word on grant funding. “We had to postpone last fall and lost more shoreline while we were waiting for the funding to come in, so that will change the scope of the project,” he said. Because of the further erosion, the town will have to have a new study of the area conducted in order to institute a new plan of action. “We had to get permits through the whole of the alphabet soup,” Scozzafava said. “We have lost 30 feet more of shoreline, so we need to have it studied again before we move forward.” The Bulwagga Bay Campground is a key economic contributor to the town, which is why Scozzafava said
it is so important to get the project done. “The campsite is this community’s largest revenue source,” he said. “We have to put back into that beach whatever we can.” The Supervisor said he knows what Bulwagga Bay used to be like for those who took advantage of the recreational opportunities there and how much Tom Scozzafava the area has changed. “I worked at the campsite out of high school and there used to be a float out about 100 feet from the shore you could dive off. Now you walk out 100 feet and a six-foot man, the water is barely up to his chest. That is how much sediment has washed into the lake.” Work will include rebuilding some of the shoreline as well as putting in breakers and other means to prevent further erosion of the shoreline.

CONTRACTOR
“I applied in 2013 and was awarded the money.” “This grant is a matching grant with Main Street property owners,” Tim Garrison, a Moriah town board member and leader of the Port Henry revitalization effort, said. “This is a great step forward in our economic development strategy.” Reynolds said the building improvements will range from $5,000 to $50,000. The work will be completed by local contractors. “The building owners are making a commitment,” Reynolds said. “It’s a huge investment to make certain these buildings are important parts of the community for years to come.” The state needs to generate contracts, but Reynolds hopes work can begin in the spring and be completed in 2014. The New York State Office of Community Renewal grant can be key in sparking economic revitalization in downtown Port Henry, Reynolds said. “It’s a beginning,” she said. “Hopefully we can get more grant funding in the future. Ticonderoga has received three of these Main Street grants and they’ve been a real boost to Ti’s economic revitalization.” PRIDE of Ticonderoga is a non-profit rural preservation company established in 1984 for the purpose of “Preserving, Implementing, Directing, and Effecting” community development through the securing of public and private funds for housing rehabilitation, economic development, historic preservation, community planning and educational programs. PRIDE works in partnership with local, county, regional, state, and federal governmental agencies, community- based organizations, business and industrial groups, and individuals to identify specific needs, evaluate funding options, develop strategies, prepare funding applications, assist with fundraising and implement programs and projects to effect community development.

State grant offers residents first time hookup Rural neighborhoods in Schroon Lake, Long Lake board info superhighway By Pete DeMola
pete@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — For many local residents, the upcoming year will be the fi rst they have access to high-speed broadband Internet service, bringing a long-overdue sense of relief that became cemented after last month’s announcement that the state’s chief economic development agency had approved more than $14.5 million in state broadband grants. The funds will support a series of projects that will expand access to broadband services for more than 1,200 households and nearly 100 businesses in Schroon Lake and North Hudson in Essex County and Long Lake in Hamilton County. “Access to high speed Internet is a critical resource for businesses and residents in today’s global economy,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “These grants will connect underserved and rural communities to the many benefi ts of broadband access, including giving local businesses the opportunity to reach consumers from around the world.” Schroon Lake and North Hudson will see the placement of 60 miles of fi ber cable that will bring service to 544 currently unserved households and 20 businesses. Long Lake will see service expanded to 683 households and 67 businesses. LAST MILE The service will be provided by Slic Network Solutions, a St. Lawrence County-based internet service provider who has steadily been expanding their presence throughout the North Country. They were awarded $1,370,306 for the project in Long Lake and $2,162,656 for Schroon Lake. “They provided excellent answers for our questions and concerns and were the best candidate for the job,” said Schroon Lake Town Board member Don Sage on how the town agreed on Slic. “We’re real grateful the funds are fi nally coming and just ask that folks continue to be patient.” Slic President Phil Wagschal said the engineering phase of the project is complete and much of the remaining work is weather-dependent and will be rolled out in three phases. He hopes work on constructing the new lines will begin in both communities by summer. Much of the grant funding will be for the, “last mile,” of service, he said, or the actual connection from the equipment to peoples’ homes. This prohibitive expense is why grants are necessary subsidize the projects, said Wagschal. The state will provide 80 percent of the total cost while Slic will fund the remaining 20 percent, much of it through installation fees. Grants were awarded last year around this time.

grant application process that started three years ago. “Ninety to 95 percent of those currently unserved in Schroon Lake will now receive service,” he said. Charley Hill Road, Hoffman Road and Paradox Lake-area residents currently rely on private dishes, if anything, for their online needs, an expensive and often-unreliable way of accessing the internet that is prone to interruptions and glitches. At present, town residents have access to service provided by Time Warner and wireless through Verizon, Sage said. Outside of the village, the only option is dial-up, a service that residents of more densely populated neighborhoods across the country bypassed a decade ago with advances in optical fi ber technology. The new service will give everyone a muchneeded chance to get online across the board, said Sage, noting that it’s particularly benefi cial for local students who will no longer have to go to the Schroon Lake Public Library to get online, often having to wait their turns in order to access the limited computer terminals. Schroon Lake Central School District Superintendent Bonnie Finnerty, who is among those who are currently unserved, said the district was excited about the project because many students will now be able to do projects outside of the classroom. “Currently, we’re creative in our ways to provide online course material for those who don’t have it,” she said. Students are often required to access online review materials for classes, a requirement that posed a dilemma for those without Internet access. Tight schedules often made it even more diffi cult for students to get online after school hours. “Teachers went above and beyond to provide the materials through any means possible,” Finnerty said, which included copying course materials to external hard drives and DVDs so that students didn’t fall behind their more wellconnected peers. Finnerty said the expanded services will increase the potential for enhanced courses in the future. LONG LAKE Supervisor Clark Seaman said he looks forward the new opportunities that the improved service will provide to the town. “The high-speed that will be available is outstanding and I’m looking forward to it personally, also for here at the offi ce,” he said. “It’s going to be a huge improvement for us and it’s nice to fi nally be caught up with the technology.” Cable will be laid on Route 28 to Newcomb, on Kickerville Road and towards Blue Mountain, Seaman said. The town also plans to install wireless pods throughout the town to beam signals across the town’s eponymous lake, on the shores on which sit many seasonal residences and businesses for part-time occupants. Seaman says the town also hopes to set up wi-fi hotspots in several locations around the tourist-friendly destination and is currently exploring how to best use the advancements to their benefi t. Long Lake Parks & Recreation Director Alex
Roalsvig started a Broadband Committee to research some of the options for moving forward. “We’re trying to engage the community to identify the advantages of this service,” she said. “This is a great opportunity for us and we’re looking forward to getting the conversation going — especially when it comes to seasonal residents.” If the new service could get summer residents to increase their stays by even just one week, Roalsvig said, then it would be a potential boom to the local economy.
The second public meeting of the Broadband Committee is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14, at the Long Lake Town Hall at 5:15 p.m. “We see this as a huge development tool, not only from education, but also telecommunicating,” said Slic’s Wagschal, a viewpoint echoed by Schoon Lake’s Sage and other local offi cials. “Hopefully we’re going to see folks move into the community and stay. If people can’t earn a living, they just can’t stay: You can’t do CAD work on a satellite and we’re really excited to be a part of this.”

Crown Point senior center face lift continues By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — “You might say the tree was a blessing in disguise.” That is how Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington described his thoughts on the tree that crashed through the town’s senior citizen center last year. “It got things going for us,” Harrington said. “The work needed on that building had gotten behind us and priority was not there.” After the center was damaged in the summer, however, Harrington said work has been progressing not only to repair what was damaged but also to renovate the building into a multiuse facility.
“The northern side of the building had to be replaced,” Harrington said. “At the same time, we have tried to update the building and will be moving our town court into that building.” Along with moving the courthouse to the site, Harrington said the town is also looking to invite other civic organizations and committees to take advantage of the space. “There is still a lot of work to do,” Harrington said. “We have work that needs to be done on the outside of the buildings, the windows, the roof slate and the foundation.” Harrington said that funding for the repairs could be made available if the area around the center, located at the intersections of Route 9N, Creek Road and Park Avenue, is classifi ed historic by the state.
Water work
Harrington also said that town is focused on making the repair of the towns water mains a priority in 2014. “We have had over 30 breaks on the main line and one of these days the system will not work,” he said. “That would be a major expense to the town.” Harrington said the town is seeking grant
funding to upgrade the piping in the system, some of which has been in place since the 19th century. He added that when the water lines are replaced, the town could also look at improving their sidewalks. “Our current sidewalks are in complete disrepair,” he said. “You literally have to watch where you walk with every step. With a new water line system would come sidewalks.”

Runners start new year in Ti with Resolution Run Berube, Sommerville win event By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Runners braved bitter cold during the 12th annual Resolution Run in Ticonderoga.

Racing for everyone, with everyone in the race
B
y all appearances, the winter season is here to stay. Despite the usual thaws, and a few occasional bouts of rain, the winter of ‘13-’14 has been relatively normal and just plain, old cold. The snow has come and gone, and enough of the white stuff stuck around long enough for most skiers and snowshoers to have a good go at it. The hard water anglers have been on the ice covered lakes and ponds for nearly two weeks already, and they largely seem happily content. Reports continue to trickle in with tall tales of big fi shtails, including some photos of the monster pike taken from Great Sacandaga Lake, some nice salmon from Lake Clear and an unexpectedly large, lake trout that was taken from a lake that shall remain nameless. Unfortunately, there is only limited snow cover in the woods after last week’s rains and in many areas the recent ice storm left trails crisscrossed with downed saplings and scattered branches Until the next snowfall, some of the best opportunities will be found ski skating, or just simply skating across the local snow covered lakes and ponds. With the potential for a few inches of fresh snow on the way, there may also be some skiable trails available on a few local Fire Truck Trails especially in and around the St. Regis/Paul Smiths area. However, crampons should still be considered standard equipment for all travelers.
The Chilly Saranac Sixers On Dec. 21, the ever frosty village of Saranac Lake launched the latest round of the Saranac Sixers Campaign while hosting the inaugural edition of the Winter Sixers and the Ultra Winter Sixers. The Ultra Winter Sixers in attendance were composed of a certain set of individuals who obviously enjoy traveling up, over, down and through some of the most tortuous terrain the local mountains have to offer, in all sorts of weather. The Sixer Campaign is the brainchild of Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau, who fostered the idea in an effort to bring visitors to town and spur on a bit of additional tourism. The effort has been very well received, with merchants offering special deals for participants featuring licensed Sixer products which include local wine, beer and clothing. The weather pattern that greeted the climbers who had gathered to attempt the inaugural kickoff of the Saranac Sixer Campaign last spring, was nearly identical to the weather conditions that greeted the Winter Sixers last week, although the heavy rains during the spring event were much tougher to deal with due to the heavy runoff. A crew of hardy, runners, climbers and similarly minded mountain masochists departed Berkley Square in downtown Saranac Lake in the darkness of the early morning hours as they spread out to tackle six local peaks, ranging in elevation from a mere 2,452 feet on Mt. Baker, which requires a 1.8 mile round trip to the remaining peaks including McKenzie Mountain at 3,861 feet, with a 10-mile round trip hike, and Ampersand Mountain at 3,261 followed by Scarface Mountain at 3,088 feet elevation, Haystack at 2,874 feet and St. Regis Mountain in Paul Smiths, which stands at 2,865 feet. The morning of the event dawned with cold temperatures, winds and a combination of snow and freezing drizzle as Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau launched the inaugural group off to the local trails in the dimming darkness of a bracing Adirondack morning. The fi rst group of Winter Sixers to fi nish included Caleb Strong of Victor, NY; who fi nished in a time of 9:55 and set a new Ultra Sixers speed record for the climb by knocking over an hour of
the original record. Strong was followed by Loring Porter of Lake Placid, NY; who fi nished in a time of 10:59. Porter became the original Ultra Saranac Sixer when he topped the fi eld at the inaugural event in May by fi nishing in a time of 10 hours, 22 minutes. Rounding out the fi eld of top fi nishers were 3. Kyle Forbes Bissell, West Salem, MA; 10:59, 4. Kyle Dash, Paul Smith’s, NY; 11:06, 5. David Gomlak, Lake Placid, NY; 12:45, 6. Alistair Fraser, Florida, NY; 14:26 and 7. Neil Luckhurst, Laval, QC, Canada. Many of the hardy crew who attempted to become Winter Sixer left town in the cold darkness of the morning to tackle the peaks and they returned in the darkness of a cold, and blustery evening.
Climbing for a Purpose While peak bagging may not be for everyone, the Sixer Campaign has proven to be an exciting and sociable event that continues to bring visitors to the local communities. Although some critics may complain about the competitive aspects of peak bagging and the potential for damage caused by the overuse of a fragile resource; I believe the positive benefi ts of the Sixer Campaign concept will far outweigh the negatives. Participants can attempt a variety of achievements with a Sixer fi nishing up all six peaks, and Ultra 6’ers completing all six peaks in a 24-hour time span. Winter 6’ers are those who complete all six peaks during the winter season, and Family 6’ers will do it all as a family. The effort has also spawned a notable contingent of local youth who have taken up the challenge. When local youth get involved and learn to utilize the local environment for a positive purpose, they learn to appreciate their surroundings. When this happens, the local landscape takes on a new purpose and it is considered to be of value. When the land is perceived as having value, it is more likely to be utilized, appreciated and protected. Stewardship of the land is the next natural step in this progression, and this type of non-consumptive recreation is easily expanded especially in an area that is literally brimming with natural potential for fi shing contest, natural inventory events, bird counts, bike/hike/swim triathlons, and more. The Adirondack Canoe Classic offers a prime example of how a regional outdoor sporting event can benefi t a variety of small communities by drawing them all together for a shared positive purpose. Every community along the route has the potential to show off their hospitality to a group of traveling athletes, and their families. The idea of making a competition out of climbing can be easily adapted to paddling events participating on the local rivers or lakes, or mountain biking event that are contested along the back roads, or skiing or snowshoe events utilizing the connecting trails between communities such as the Jackrabbit Ski Trail from Keene to Paul Smiths or a similar potential course for skiers along the old railroad route from Lake Placid all the way to Old Forge. We need to have our youth involved, as they have the potential to be the next generation of stewards. If they learn how to play in their own backyard, the lands will be of value and they will make efforts to protect them In the process, everyone will be healthier and happier as a result. Adirondackers are not simply a group of independent communities scattered about in the mountains, we are a group of communities that are defi ned by these mountains and by the lands we chose to settle. And though our communities are unique, we all share a special bond with the land, the weather, the natural resources and especially with each other. We live here by choice, nobody forced it upon us. It is this fact that proves we all knew how to make at least one good decision. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

What about the Birds? M
y last column dealt with feeding deer and it sparked some interest, in at least one reader. Earlier this week, I stopped at a local store for my morning fi x of strong black coffee when I was asked by a reader about birds. Can I feed birds? With the freezing rain we have had lately, the birds By Rich Redman will defi nitely need our help. Ice has coated all the plants and getting the seeds off plants and scratching at the ground for seed is nearly impossible. At our place the frozen snow and ice coating on the ground is around 2 inches thick and I can walk on top of it in many places. I have noticed numerous birds around our feeder outside my morning coffee window, gleaning whatever they can fi nd. Having natural food sources is great and preferred. Leaving headed out grasses and grains along with corn, will supply many a wild bird with food. Small property owners can plant sunfl owers along fences, mixed in with grains and other wild foods for birds. Plant a wild food garden! The foods may not last all winter, so supplementing them may be needed. Make sure you de-ice your bird feeder and have an ample supply of food available. Frozen birds are great in the freezer, but not at the frozen feeder. Seeds of all sorts, like sunfl owers, corn, wild bird seed and scratch feed will work. Wild birds will get grit from the side of the road, but having some near a feeder is always a good idea. The grit helps the bird breakup the food and digests it. I checked out Wikipedia on this so you get the facts, here you go, quoted directly from the source! Gizzard stones 101! Some animals that lack teeth will swallow stones or grit to aid in digestion. All birds have gizzards, but not all will swallow stones or grit. The birds that do, employ the following method of mastication:[2] “A bird swallows small bits of gravel that act as ‘teeth’ in the gizzard, breaking down hard food such as seeds and thus helping digestion.” (Solomon et al., 2002). These stones are called gizzard stones or gastroliths and are usually round and smooth from the polishing action in the animal’s stomach. When too smooth to do their required work, they may be passed or regurgitated”. There you have it, the real deal on gizzard stones! Turkeys will be having a tough time this year so you may even see them popping up around the bird feeder a lot earlier than usual. You may need extra food on hand to handle the extra demand. New York allows manure to be spread in the winter so turkeys will be able to pick through spread manure. When the tractor fi res up, it is the dinner bell for turkeys, especially this year. Vermont has stopped all winter spreading of manure and from what I hear; it may have an effect on their turkey population. Farmers will be seeing turkeys in feed bunks eating the corn in the silage. They will become a nuance. The farmers won’t be happy about that, but the turkeys are survivors and go where the picking is nutritious and easy. If you enjoy having birds around, plan ahead and grow the natural feeds like grains and sunfl owers for winter that will carry them through. In years like this however, we need to go to the backup plan of supplemental feed to help keep them alive. You can purchase both grit and wild bird feed, along with cracked and whole corn at local feed stores. Check with a local farmer, they may have corn or other seed they can sell you. Support your local farmer. Farmers are feeding a lot more than just us! We have always had a bird feeder to help the birds, but so far this year it will be a survival feeder.
