Downtown group sets 2014 agenda Ti Montcalm Street Partnership schedules events By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is planning a number of events and projects this year designed to attract people to downtown Ticonderoga. Ò The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership with its partner, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, continues to strive to promote activities, events and visual projects throughout the entire length of Montcalm Street,” Bob Dedrick, TMSP board member, said. Led by its design committee, the partnership is working to light LaChute Falls in Bicentennial Park this year. Ò We hope that our newest endeavor, to light the Bicentennial Falls, will come to fruition in the spring,” Dedrick said. The committee is also working with PRIDE to erect a services sign on Route 9N to attract people downtown. Other design committee projects for 2014 include streetscape improvements. Ò I am proud to be a committee chairperson in an organization striving to preserve, promote, protect and enhance the historic Montcalm Street corridor,” Joyce Cooper, TMSP design committee chairwoman, said. The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership will again host its two major events, the Best Fourth in the North celebration and StreetFest. The 2014 Best Fourth in the North will be July 1-4 and will include live music and entertainment, amusement rides, games, food and vendors in Bicentennial Park as well as a parade and a fireworks display. The Best Fourth committee is chaired by Debbie Barber. The celebration costs between $25-30,000 with the majority of the funds being raised by the committee. Fund-raising events such as the annual Ti High Alumni Basketball Tournament, Best Fourth in the North Night at area businesses and a coin drop are planned. StreetFest will be held Saturday, July 26, with a variety of business specials, promotions and sidewalk sales as well as vendors, live music and entertainment, family activities, food and more. The StreetFest committee, chaired by Darlene Treadway and Leslie Midgley, is planning for the event. Businesses and vendors can get registration forms from the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. All 2013 participants will be mailed a registration form for the event. The 2014 StreetFest will be held in conjunction with the “Ticonderoga, The First 250 Years” celebration. Chaired by John Bartlett, the groupÕ s promotions committee

tion in 2014. People interested in serving on committees should contact the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce office at 585-6619.

Ticonderoga church to present seminars Financial, marriage programs planned By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A local church has planned a pair of seminars designed to improve the quality of life for area residents. The Lakeside Regional Church, with campuses in Hague and Ticonderoga, will present financial planning and marriage seminars. Ò We believe the Bible has answers to help people deal with many of the problems they face today,” Pastor Skip Trembley said. “We feel we can help address a number of social needs.” Ò The Bible has principles to help people budget their money, build strong families, create vibrant and prosperous communities,” John Ockrin, church director of assimilation and operations, said. Ò We want to share those principles. We want to be a resource for people.” “Money Matters” will be a four-part seminar on personal finance. It will address issues such as financial goals, budgeting, debt, investing and more. The seminar will begin with the churchÕ s 10 a.m. service Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Best Western Inn in Ticonderoga and will continue the following Thursdays 6 to 8 p.m. at the church’s Ti campus, located at 106 Montcalm St. It is free and open to everyone. Todd and Kellie Bilow will facilitate the seminars, which are built around materials from Dave Ramsey, a financial author, ra-
dio host, television personality and motivational speaker. “The Art of Marriage” will be presented Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14 and 15. It will include six, one-hour sessions addressing relationships, parenting and issues relating to marriage. The seminar will be led by John and Nancy Ockrin. John Ockrin is supervising psychologist at Saratoga Bridges, which serves people with developmental disabilities. The cost of the seminar is $45 a couple and includes all materials and lunch on Saturday. People can register for both seminars online at the church website, www.lakesideregionalchurch.org, or by calling the church at 543-4594. While the seminars are faith-based, Ockrin stressed they are open to everyone. “We’re not going to talk Christian-ese,” he said. “We’ll present material that people of all backgrounds will be able to put to use. “We see ourselves as agents of change,” he said. “We want to have an impact on the community, we want to make it a better place.” Trembley believes the solutions to todayÕ s social ills lie in the Bible. Ò In our world it seems normal to be in debt, to have relationship problems, to have strife in families, to deal with addiction,” the pastor said. “The Bible offers an opportunity to live an ‘unnormal’ life, to be happy.” Ockrin hopes people will attend the seminars. Ò There are many people who donÕ t believe a church can be relevant in culture today,” he said. “Our challenge is to show our relevance.”
Trembley said the Lakeside Regional Church has plans to remain active in the community. Several other projects are being planned for 2014, he said, and the church will again participate in the Ticonderoga Streetfest this summer. “There is much more planned for the months to come,” Ockrin said. Ò We are excited about the potential and power that exists in the word of God. We are committed to helping people to take control of their lives, and make the necessary changes that will literally transform our community into a safer and infinitely more fertile environment for people to grow and prosper. “We are convinced that people are hungry for change,” he said. Ò We believe that with targeted support and the right tools they will take action. And that such action, once begun, will inevitably lead to a flowering of opportunity, possibility and prosperity that will be the envy of our neighboring communities.” Lakeside Regional Church is the former Hague Wesleyan Church. It holds its services the second Sunday of each month at the Best Western Inn in Ticonderoga and other Sundays at the Hague church. Services are at 10 a.m. and are streamed online. The Hague Wesleyan Church became the Lakeside Regional Church about three years ago, Trembley said. The church membership had grown to include people from Westport to Brant Lake, so the Hague moniker no longer seemed appropriate, he said. Ò We see ourselves as a regional church and changed our name to reflect that,” Ockrin said. “Ticonderoga is the commercial center of the region, so we decide to open a campus.” The church has about 110 members, Trembley said.
Ti Area Chamber of Commerce plans mixer Trio to host Feb. 27 event TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce will have three hosts for the February After Business Mixer, which will be held Thursday, Feb. 27, 5:30 to 7 p.m. The mixer will be hosted by PRIDE of Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership and Vilardo Architecture at 111 Montcalm St., Ticonderoga. Sponsors providing door prizes will be International Paper Company, Stoney Lonesome B&B, Sugar & Spice Country Shoppe and the Wagon Wheel Restaurant. Ò We invite all Ticonderoga Area Chamber members and area business people to attend the February After Business Mixer,” Matthew Courtright, chamber executive director, said. Ò Not only is it a perfect opportunity to network and connect, but a chance to support other organizations and businesses within the Ticonderoga area. “It is not often that we have multiple hosts for one of our events,” he said. “In addition it is a wonderful opportunity for businesses and organizations to discuss common issues and concerns and provide this information to the chamber. We are truly excited to have three hosts for this year’s February After Business Mixer.” The chamber mixers provide a networking forum for area business people in addition to showcasing the site of the host as well as promoting the door prize sponsors. All area business people, chamber members and their employees are invited to attend. “PRIDE of Ticonderoga along with Vilardo Architecture and the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership look forward to welcoming Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce members and the business community to 111 Montcalm St. in downtown Ticonderoga,” Sharon Reynolds, PRIDE executive director, said. “PRIDE is celebrating our 30th year servicing Ticonderoga and

Letters to the Editor
Lets talk about legalizing Engineering a great career medical uses of marijuana To the Times of Ti:
To the Times of Ti: I appreciate the editorial published in Denton Publications urging the public to examine the facts associated with proposals to legalize marijuana. It was interesting to read that the first efforts to establish laws against growing hemp Ñ which up until 1883 was the largest crop grown worldwide for its various uses in industry — were pushed by the southern U.S. cotton lobby which wanted to curb competition. Who would have thought Ñ cotton. This editorial exhibited good research and insight as to who was and is behind such prohibition. Now, let’s talk about legalizing medical uses of marijuana. The next step in the fight against legalization could very well involve the drug manufacturers as you stated in the editorial. Medical use of marijuana definitely involves people’s health and our compassion as a country. Marijuana can provide relief from many chronic syndromes, including neurological conditions that have movement-disorder components. Such afflictions include Alzheimer’s disease, ParkinsonÕ s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and seizure disorders, as well as symptoms endured by patients previously suffering strokes. This extensive list possibly could include more syndromes, which we won’t know until bonafide research is allowed. Ingesting marijuana can also have a positive effect on people afflicted with autism, as well as those undergoing chemotherapy. So, one would wonder why drug manufacturers would be against it — but the fact is, they can’t patent marijuana, because it’s not a manufactured chemical, it’s a naturally grown plant — so not only can they not profit from manufacturing it, the medical marijuana would compete with drugs they already have on the market for these disorders, but the marijuana wouldn’t have the drugs’ side effects. Back to those who are suffering with these disorders. I’m sure the last thing they would want to do is use medical marijuana to get “high.” Also, the beneficial elements of the plant are primarily the other natural compounds in the plant, not the psychoactive THC component. But the basic question remains, who are we to deprive them of relief and a sense of well-being? Donna Flanagan, DC Warrensburg
National Engineers Week is Feb. 16-22, which celebrates the positive contributions engineers make to society and is a catalyst for outreach across the country to kids and adults alike. Our community knows all too well, how engineers play a critical role in our society’s infrastructure, after the closing of the Champlain Bridge. I’d like to bring attention to a very successful local event that highlights engineering principles and skills to young students. The seventh annual Ticonderoga School Student Model Bridge Competition was held on Dec. 14. It was sponsored by the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club. Students from the Ticonderoga Middle School, Ticonderoga High School, St. MaryÕ s School and Crown Point School participated in the event. Numerous local businesses, like Reale Construction, Denton Publications and D.A. Collins, sponsor this event because they recognize the great opportunity for our children to have an interest in science and math. Over the years of the event, the students continue to learn from each other, designing and building stronger bridges. The middle school students build model bridges out of popsicle sticks during a 1-1/2 hour time limit and then load the bridge until it fails. Eight of the 13 bridges carried over 50 pounds. The number of teams participating continues to increase, while the results of the loads that their bridges carry continues to improve as well. This year, 12 high school teams constructed bridges out of balsam wood. The winning balsam wood bridge carried a 145-pound load. This event would never happen without all of the dedicated volunteers from the Ticonderoga Kiwanis, members of the Ticonderoga Teachers Association and all the teachers who volunteered. A very big thank you goes to Graham Bailey, an engineer, who had the vision for the event and the commitment to make sure the event happens year after year. If your child is considering a career, think of this. The average engineerÕ s salary in 2011 was $99,738. Students graduating with an engineering degree from college were among the highest paid in the class of 2013, averaging a $62,000 annual salary. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, the field of engineering is expected to grow by 10 percent in the next 10 years. Engineering graduates experience a much more favorable job market because there is such a demand for engineers and it will only continue with a
growing global population and dwindling resources. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)–MohawkHudson Section does offer a four-year, $1,000 per year, scholarship to a graduating senior that intends to enroll in an educational institution majoring in civil engineering. Information on the scholarship has been sent to local high school guidance departments. Schools are encouraged to submit more than one application per school. The Mohawk-Hudson Section encompasses much of eastern upstate New York. Over the years, numerous local students have won this award and have gone on to pursue careers in civil engineering. The deadline for this scholarship is typically in April. For more details on the scholarship or a copy of the application, please go to http://www.ascemohawkhudson.org. Our firm is very proud to be sponsor of the local bridge competition as we celebrate Engineers Week! Anthony W .

Lake George boats to be inspected Lake George Park Commission adopts plan By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A mandatory boat inspection program for Lake George has been approved. Beginning May 15 all boats entering the lake must be inspected at one of six regional stations. If a boat passes inspection as “clean, drained and dry” it will be sealed to the ownerÕ s trailer and it can continue to a launch facility. If it does not meet the standard, owners will be directed to the high-pressure hot water decontamination unit on site for cleaning before being sealed to a trailer. The Lake George Park Commission adopted the new regulation at its meeting Jan. 28. The regulations will be filed with the Secretary of State and the program, which will apply to all trailered vessels, will begin May 15. Launch sites around the lake will be responsible for checking seals, removing them from boats and then re-sealing them as they leave the lake. If a boat is only used in Lake George, and the seal stays intact, it can launch again without additional inspection. If a boat is taken to another water body it will have to go through the inspection process again before entering Lake George. The regional inspection and wash stations will be located at Mossy Point in Ticonderoga, Rogers Rock Campsite in Hague, Narowal Marina in Bolton, near Exit 21 of the Northway in Lake George, Ridge Road in Queensbury and Huletts Landing Marina. The Mossy Point and Norowal stations will each have two boast washing units because of heavy demand. Each station is expected to be open sunrise to sunset. The commission said it is working on a new website and outreach materials to assist boaters in meeting the new regulation. The new plan is part of an effort to keep invasive species from the lake. Lake George currently has five invasive species in its waters — asian clam, eurasian milfoil, zebra mussels, curlyleaf pondweed and spiny waterflea. It’s believed those non-native species were brought to Lake George by boats that had been in other lakes. The LGPC spends more than $1 million a year to manage and eradicate invasive species. In the past two years alone the state and local governments have spent more than $1.5 million in efforts to eradicate the asian clam. The Lake George Park Commission adopted a Draft Invasive Species Prevention Plan and Environmental Impact Statement last April. The plan identified a “preferred alternative” that
called for a mandatory inspection program for all trailered boats entering Lake George and hot water power washing decontamination of boats that don’t pass inspection. The plan is the result of nearly three years of research and more than 50 public meetings. The Lake George Park Commission action was praised by the Stop Aquatic inVasives from Entering Lake George Partnership (S.A.V.E.). Ò With this historic vote, the commission has upheld its protection mandate in the face of the gathering invasives threat,” Lake George Mayor Bob Blais, S.A.V.E.Õ s chairman, said. S.A.V.E. represents public and private leadersÑ including municipal officials, conservation groups, scientists, and businesses—around Lake George who have committed to paying half the implementation costs of the prevention program over the next
two years. “Nothing will deliver better returns for our economy, environment, and communities than shared investment in the future health of Lake George,” said Eric Siy, executive director of The FUND for Lake George. “As an investor, S.A.V.E. is committed to ensuring the sustaining success of the prevention program, Ò Siy said. Ò There is no question that Lake George is leading the way in demonstrating what it will take to save our precious waters from aquatic invasives. It will take uncompromising commitment and bold partnership,” said Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover. “We will not get a second chance to get this right and we are truly fortunate to have a park commission that is responding to the gravity of the moment.”

Fort Ticonderoga receives grant
TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga has announced it has received a grant from The Perkin Fund which will support dendrochronological research on the 19th-century Pell house located on the Fort Ticonderoga peninsula. Dendrochronology is the science of analyzing and dating annual growth rings in trees. Thirty nine field samples were taken from the Pavilion in late 2013. A total of 19 pine and 15 hemlock samples were analyzed in the laboratory, with all 34 samples providing firm dendrochronological dates According to Beth Hill, Fort Ticonderoga president and CEO, the grant will provide funding for vital research to help Fort Ticonderoga date the construction of the Pell home, known as the Pavilion. The result of the analysis will help inform the future interpretation and use of the historic structure. Ò While the buildingÕ s occupation and use over the past 187 years is quite well documented, how the structure evolved over that period remains a mystery,” said Hill. “It is clear from historic photographs of the Pavilion that many elements of the building have changed. Windows and doors have moved, appeared, and disappeared; porches have come and gone; and even a large portion of the building’s central structure was rebuilt over a century ago. It is also possible that significant portions of the Pavilion were built over the course of several years. But exactly when and
why these changes occurred has been largely unknown. Clearly, there are several questions related to the PavilionÕ s construction date(s) that need to be answered as we plan its future.” Funded in part by a grant from the National Trust, a Historic Structure Report is currently under way for the Pavilion led by John G. Waite Associates, Architects of Albany, New York. The report, expected to be complete this year, will include the dendrochronological findings. According to architect John G. Waite, Ò The Pavilion is a more interesting and more complicated building than previously thought and certainly of major architectural significance. Previous documentary research indicated that the Pavilion was constructed between ca. 1826 and 1840. Recent building fabric analysis and the dendrochronology confirmed this. However, the dendrochronology also revealed that certain sections of the building contained at least several wood framing members dating from the 1750s and one as early as the 1690s. Whether these were isolated reuse of older material or represent significant sections of earlier buildings incorporated into the Pavilion is still to be determined. What it does mean is that these elements are the oldest wood framing members existing on the Fort Ticonderoga property and provide us with clues to the evolution of this remarkable and unique historic structure.”
The dendrochronological analysis was conducted by Dr. Edward R. Cook and William J. Callahan in partnership with preservation architect John G. Waite Associates of Albany. Cook is the director of the Tree-Ring Laboratory at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. He has comprehensive expertise in designing and programming statistical systems for tree-ring studies, and is the author of many works dealing with the various scientific applications of the dendrochronological method. William Callahan is a former associate of Cook at the Tree-Ring Laboratory of Lamont-Doherty, he has extensive experience in using dendrochronology in dating archaeological artifacts and historic sites and structure. The Pavilion was built in 1826 by William Ferris Pell and occupied by his family until 1840. From the early 1840s through the end of the 19th century, the house served as a hotel. When William Ferris Pell’s great-grandson, Stephen H.P. and his wife Sarah G.T. Pell began the restoration of Fort Ticonderoga in 1909, they simultaneously undertook the restoration of the Pavilion and then used the house as a summer residence for many years. After Stephen Pell’s death in 1950, his son John occupied the house through 1987.

October 10, 1934 - February 5, 2003 The Angels gathered near your bed so very close to you. For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through. I thought about so many things, as I held tightly to your hand. Oh, how I wished that you were strong and happy once again. But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky. Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye. I struggled with my selfish thoughts, for I wanted you to stay. So we could walk and talk again, like we did - just yesterday. But Jesus knew the answer, and I knew He loved you so. So I gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go.

Technology saves Mineville home Firefighters douse fire without using water
MINEVILLE — A Mineville home was saved from fi re through technology Jan. 29. Mineville-Witherbee Fire Department responded to a kitchen fi re at 29 Maple Lane at 5:50 p.m. Firefi ghters found fl ames in the kitchen and heavy smoke throughout the mobile home, according to Adam Wright, Mineville-Witherbee fi re chief. Firefi ghters utilized the STAT X fi re interruption system, which releases chemicals into the air to suppress fi re. It worked immediately, Wright said. “It was out in less than 2 minutes,” Wright said. “It was over before it even started.” The Mineville-Witherbee Fire Department purchased the STAT X technology a year ago, but this was the fi rst time it had been used. “It worked great,” Wright said. “It saved this family’s home. They still have a place to live.” The family, Duncan and Kathy Gemmell and their three children, were displaced by the fi re because of smoke damage. They can return, however, once the home is cleaned of smoke, Wright said. The family is being assisted by the Red Cross, Wright said. The Gemmells are tenants in the home, which is owned by Joseph Cyphers Sr. Wright said the fi re started when grease in a frying pan on the stove ignited. Moriah and Port Henry fi re departments were called to the scene, but the fi re was out before they arrived, Wright said. No water was used on the fi re, Wright said. The Stat-X fi re suppressant is a patented potassium-based aerosol that suppresses fi re by chemically interfering with the free radicals of fl ame, according to its manufacturer, Fireaway Inc. It is ecologically safe, 10 times as effective as halon replacements with zero ozone depletion and no global warming potential, the company said.

Scozzafava calls for property tax reform By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Tom Scozzafava supports the governor’s proposals to limit property tax increases, but he wishes the state legislature would go further. “Don’t get me wrong,” the Moriah supervisor said. “I applaud the governor for trying to reduce the property tax burden. I just think the property tax system is antiquated. It’s not fair. It’s the most regressive tax there is.” Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed a property tax freeze for municipalities and school districts that remain under the stateÕ s 2 percent tax cap two consecutive years and who demonstrate cost savings through shared services. In 2011 the state, under CuomoÕ s direction, adopted a 2 percent tax cap for local municipalities and school districts. “That’s all good,” Scozzafava said, “but we need real property tax reform. When the property tax system was adopted more than 100 years ago property was a sign of wealth. That’s not true any longer. “The property tax system wasn’t designed to pay for all the services local government now provides,” he said. “A hundred years ago municipalities weren’t paying for Little League fields, youth programs, senior citizen programs, street lights, wastewa-
ter treatment Ñ you name it. The property tax was never meant to pay for everything we do today.” The property tax is also unfair in many cases, the supervisor said. He used a town highway budget, which typically accounts for 50-60 percent of a town budget, as an example. Person A lives in a home assessed for $100,000. He does not own a car and does not drive. Person B lives in a home assessed at $50,000. He owns a car and drives regularly, commuting 50 miles a day to and from work. In that scenario, Scozzafava pointed out, the person who does not use roads pays twice as much highway tax as the person who does. “How is that fair?” he asked. Scozzafava suggested a change in the tax system that would have people utilizing services pay for them. He again used the town highway budget as an example. “Suppose we added a $1 charge to every tire a person buys,” he said, using the term charge rather than tax. Ò The state collects that money and then reimburses each town through the CHIPs (Consolidated Highway Improvement Program) program. The mechanism (CHIPs) is already in place to do it. “Most people pay $1,000 a year or more in highway taxes,” he said. “Sure, you’d pay a little more for your tires, but you won’t be spending $1,000 Ñ and this way people who use the roads will be paying for them.”

Heather is very sweet and cuddles right up against you when you hold her and pet her, but as soon as you leave she cries and begs you to come back. She really needs to fi nd her own home where she can be the purrfect lap kitty on these cold winter nights.

A Friend of Ruff is a Friend of Mine!
Outdoor playing fields
A
few weeks back, I published a story titled The Outdoor Gym. The point of the story was to illustrate the numerous health and fi tness benefi ts available through local outdoor adventures. In the article, I stated it is important to provide local youth with the understanding and knowledge of the local environment since it is a key component in shaping their character and fostering an independent understanding of natural processes. The importance of understanding and utilizing the local woods and waters is a vital component of Adirondack culture and heritage. So too are the health benefi ts of participation in activities such as paddle sports, skiing, hiking, climbing, hunting and fi shing. When children learn to use and enjoy the land, it has value, and if they value it, they will want to protect it. I closed the story with a personal opinion, which was based on casual observations rather than extensive research claiming, “If ever there was a generation that needed a complete command and understanding of natural processes; this is the one. They will be the next generation of paddlers, birders, skiers, hunters and hikers. Or not!” They will also be the fi rst generation of Adirondackers to face and confront the challenges presented by global climate change. I expect they will have a much more diffi cult row to hoe than previous generations. I close with two letters received in response to the article. The fi rst letter comes from a former High School Physical Educator. The other was written by a standout high school athlete. Dear Mr. Hackett: I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated and agree with your recent article in the Valley News. As a former physical educator, I am appalled at how few children appreciate the outdoor activities the Adirondacks offers in abundance. Yearly, we took a group to climb one of the local peaks, even managing Cascade for a group. Although, fi tting it in with all of their academic classes was a big challenge. They were enchanted to view the summit and to have challenged themselves and attained the summit. And it was always great fun to be in the wonderful outside. We also tried to include many lifetime activities in our curriculum, such as cross country skiing, cross country running, archery, tennis, swimming, and even downhill skiing. The opportunities were too few, and the off campus events numbered only once per year, but it gave them a taste and it was especially gratifying to see the excitement in students who found team sports not to their skill level or taste. I am very sad to see the children spending time in front of the computers and not enjoying the wonders of the out of doors. As you so clearly stated, being outside is healthy, relaxing, reinvigorating calming and stress reducing.” Mr. Hackett: I just read you’re article about the Outdoor Gym. I bet you spent all of your time outdoors because you weren’t a jock in
High School. It was different for me. I was a real three sport athlete, playing baseball, basketball and football, when I grew up. And I have a trophy case in my home full of all my awards I earned to prove it. They really were the best years of my life, no doubt at all! But I earned all of them the hard way. Besides all those trophys and the Varsity Letters, all the hits and tackles and bruises ever gave back to me is a bum leg, a few less teeth and a bad back. I played all three sports, and I was a captain in two of them. I never even had to play JV. I was a real four-year hero. But, that was forty-three years ago and most folks don’t remember me anymore. I’m pretty lame now too from all them hits and I don’t get around too well anymore. Sports were my life, that’s all that mattered to me. Now all I do is watch them on TV. I havenÕ t thrown a baseball in years, and you know what? It’s kind of sad because I used to have a really good arm like Johnny Podres. But I’m sorry I never learnt to fi sh or hunt, even though I see deer and turkeys on my land now a lot. I wish they could a taught me how to shoot a bow, or to fi sh and paddle a boat at my school because maybe I could get out more today. Keep talking and writing about this subject and maybe there are more happy kids, and fewer old guys like me that can’t get around no more.” Varsity Bass Fishing Teams: Not on The Big Lake Recently, the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau and the City of Plattsburgh announced Lake Champlain will host a total of six professional bass fi shing tournaments this summer. Once again, The Big Lake has been listed as one of the Top100 bass fi shing lakes in the United States by Bassmaster Magazine. This year, the Pro Bass tournament season will get underway on the Big Lake with the Bassmaster Weekend Series beginning on June 14. It is expected the Bass Tournaments will attract roughly 2,000 anglers to the Lake Champlain region. Although there will be thousands of Pro Bass anglers enjoying the bounty of the Big Lake, there’s is not yet a single High School Varsity Bass Fishing Team competing on either side of the lake. The situation is the equivalent of having one of the country’s most popular professional sports stadiums in your backyard, and yet none of the local schools have a chance to play there. But it doesnÕ t stop there. The same situation continues across the Park throughout the year, as an estimated 12 to 15 million visitors travel to the Adirondack region to play on the whitewaters of the mighty Hudson or the Black River. Or to backpack the Northville Placid Trail or mountain bike the old, logging roads or the recently established biking trails. Many more come to hunt and fi sh among the nearly 3 million acres of state Forest Preserve lakes and lands. Other paddle sports enthusiasts come from across the country to compete in the annual Adirondack Canoe Classic or to paddle historic canoe routes located throughout the heart of the park. Thousands more come to ski or snowshoe the groomed trails at ski centers or to challenge the ungroomed backcountry trails. Fortunately, there are Varsity level Nordic and Alpine Ski Teams at several local schools. Other visitors fl ock to the High Peaks to become ‘46ers, or to scale the soaring rock cliffs of the Cascades, Chapel Pond or PocO-Moonshine. And again, I am left to wonder, what percentage of local youth have an opportunity to pursue similar adventures in their own back yard? Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.
On rivers all across the Adirondack from North Creek to Plattsburgh and west to Old Forge, there are outstanding venues for competitive whitewater paddling as well as flatwater racing competitions. Unfortunately, not a single High School in the park sponsors a Varsity Whitewater or a Flatwater Paddling Team. Currently, Olympic Paddlers compete in both Flatwater Sprints as well as Whitewater Slalom contested in Olympic competition.
T
he weather is starting to break and I will be out with the dogs, bird hunting soon. Grouse season ends the end of February so I have some time left. To me, walking through the aspen and apple tree thickets and maybe even fl ushing a bird with my dogs, is comparable to fi shing during an Ephemerella hatch of mayfl ies; a glorious day to be alive. By Rich Redman For Christmas, my brother sent me a couple of great books to read while the minus 20 degree weather keeps me in the house. One was “Grouse Cover”, a complete set of newsletters written by Mr. George King, the other: “A Passion for Grouse”, which is a collection of articles, written of course, about the King of Birds; the Ruffed Grouse. Mr. King’s newsletter “Grouse Cover” started in October 1969. His one page, double sided newsletter was written solely by George King for grouse hunters. In his newsletters he covered season dates and bag limits by states, magazine articles, grouse photos and prints that were available, books about the bird, hunting dogs and grouse habitat management. Mr. King penned the newsletter, printed, packed letters and mailed them out with his family, Linda, Kathy and his Grouse widow, Penny. Much of the costs for this feathered publication he bore out of his own pockets when he fi rst got started. His goal was to educate, inform and build camaraderie of fellow grouse hunters. As his mailings grew, he slowly ventured into keeping a subscriber list. In 1971 his subscribers totaled more than 3000, covering numerous states. A years’ worth of “Grouse Cover” lore and tales, sold for a whopping $2.00. George King’s passion for this bird carried over into starting a fraternity or society of Ruffed Grouse hunters, known as the Ancient and Honorable Order of Brush Worn Partridge Hunters, A.H.O.B.W.P.H. A parchment certifi cate with the A.H.O.B.W.P.H. code and the memberÕ s name was sent to every raspberry patch and thorn bush co-conspirator of the grouse cover world. These guys were known locally as the “Brush Worns”. A blue background patch with white lettering and a gold colored Ruffed Grouse patch was later designed and sent to members. Brush Worn members included all backgrounds in life, blue collar steel mill workers in PA, doctors and professional writers, including Burton Spiller, who wrote the book Grouse Feathers. Frank Woolner and H.G, “Tap” Tapply who was the editor of Field and Stream magazine were also members and fellow hunting buddies. In the book: “A Passion for Grouse”, Mr. George King states, Ò Now that my grouse hunting days are over, I sometimes refl ect on how wonderful it was that I discovered grouse hunting in the fi rst place. And I feel grateful that the rich traditions have been kept alive by getting passed from one generation of hunters to the next. Once in a while, when I was hunting in a beautiful covert, I could almost feel a kinship with the weathered men of long ago who hunted places just like this. Now I am one of those old men. I like thinking that somewhere out there, some younger hunter might feel that same connection with me and with all the old timers from the other side of the hill”. I recently wrote to George to let him know how much I appreciated his book, his writings and his love and passion for the Ruffed Grouse and passing down tradition. A few weeks later, forgetting I even sent the letter, I received an e-mail from Peggy King. A connection was made with this man through his writings and I fi nd myself grieving for a friend I never met or knew personally. Only recently, have I discovered this man and his passion for grouse. I’ll always remember these words he wrote. His advice is to take some time and” Soak up some Wisdom”. Take time to sit by that tree and enjoy the moment in the woods with your dog and friends. Getting a grouse is not the only reason to hunt! I agree! I have developed a kinship for him, and all those other old timers on the other side of the hill. The world of Ruffed Grouse, Ruffy or (Bonasa umbellus), lost a true friend this past September. Mr. George King of Greensburg Pennsylvania passed away due to a long illness. Mrs. King let me know that George was cremated. His ashes will be buried alongside the grave of his favorite dog, “Boy”, an English Setter. They will be layed to rest under a 100 year old oak tree. The tradition of hunting, a hunter’s world, or a trout and a fl y fi sherman’s world is something we all need to teach the next generation. Mr. George King has set the bar for all of us. We all need to carry on the tradition and pay it forward. I will cherish my Order of Brush Worn Partridge Hunter’s patch and some day it will be handed down to a deserving young Grouse Hunter. Thank you, Peggy. On Tuesday, Feb. 11, Trout Unlimited we will be giving a presentation on rod building at 7 p.m. at Gander Mountain. Everything from new tangled graphite to antique bamboo.

County hatchery prepares for spring Thousands of trout to be stocked throughout the county By Seth Lang
seth@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Essex County Fish Hatchery in Crown Point is getting ready for another busy spring. Soon, hatchery workers will begin stocking local waters with thousands of trout. This year the hatchery plans to stock approximately 47,000 trout throughout 65 bodies of water in the county, making it one of the most unique and ambitious stocking programs in the northeastern United States. Essex County assumed ownership of the state-run hatchery in 1982 and itÕ s been providing a population of trout in local Essex County Fish Hatchery workers in Crown Point look over a 3-year-old rainbow trout as they waters ever since. prepare for spring stocking. Hatchery superintendent Steven LaPhoto by Seth Lang Mere has seen a lot of progress made in his in 1990. These trophy fish are 3-year-old rainbow and brown 24 years in charge at the facility. LaMere launched the hatcheries trophy trout program after he was hired trout over 18 inches in length. Since the hatchery started this program LaMere noticed an immediate impact on tourism in the area. “Sport fishermen started popping up from other states to fish these waters,” said LaMere. The new program also stocks several area waters to sponsor children’s fishing tournaments throughout the region. Tournaments like the Roe Pond Invitational in Witherbee, where seniors and disabled residents also have access became quite popular. Westport, Keene, Willsboro, Newcomb and other towns have also had children’s derbies where these fish were stocked. Prior to the trophy program, the hatchery primarily raised yearling trout. Of the 47,000 tout to be stocked this year, approximately 17,000 are yearling brook trout, 26,000 are 2-year-old rainbow trout and brown trout and around 3,600 are 3-year-old, most of which are rainbow trout. At some point most hatcheries, including state-run facilities, have had a disease outbreak of some kind. Essex County’s hatchery has been certified disease free, year in, and year out. “We’re very proud of the quality and quantity of fish we’ve raised for more than two decades,” LaMere said. “Our hatchery has managed to be successful with very little funding.” The need for a hatchery comes from a variety of issues such as over fishing and habitat loss due to storm run off. Stocking these waters with trout off sets the natural reproduction that occurs in streams. “The importance of having a local hatchery is having a connection with local people,” LaMere said. “For decades people of all ages have come into our facility to learn about trout.” Though there is still need for more funding for rehabbing the facility and basic upkeep, the hatchery has managed to get by over the years, spending what they can on their most pressing needs. There have been rumblings over the years about the hatcheryÕ s future, but not lately. LaMere said, lately, he hasn’t heard any discussion about the facility not being around, and “that’s great for our area.”
