fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — After more than 80 years of service, the Lake Champlain Bridge has been retired. The span, which was closed Oct. 16 after structural problems were discovered, was demolished Dec. 28 to make way for a new bridge. “It was a little sad,” said Nancy Frasier, Times of Ti photographer, who covered the demolition. “After all these years to see it come down like that was sad.” Construction of a new bridge is planned to start in the spring with completion targeted for summer 2011. A new ferry service is being readied near the former bridge in Crown Point to serve motorists while a new structure is being built. The Ticonderoga ferry is also running with the help of anti-ice measures. The Lake Champlain Bridge opened Aug. 26, 1929, with two governors — New York’s Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vermont’s John L. Weeks — leading the festivities. This week’s demolition was nearly as festive. Hundreds of people turned out in New York and Vermont to watch as the bridge was imploded and crashed into the lake. Public viewing areas were set up at Port Henry Beach and Bulwagga Bay in New York as well as along Route 125 in Ver-

TICONDEROGA • TIMES OF TI - 3

12th Night to be marked By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The holiday season will formally end with the 16th annual Twelfth Night Celebration presented by the Ticonderoga Festival Guild. The 2010 event will be held Wednesday, Jan. 6, at 7 p.m. at St. Mary’s Church in Ticonderoga. Area choirs will present their favorite Christmas music and the program will include carol singing. Refreshments will be served after the program, which is free to the community, although donations are accepted to help fund the guild’s summer children’s programs.

The winners of the guild’s end-of-theyear fund raiser will be announced during the program. The Ticonderoga Festival Guild, Inc., was established in 1980 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of the performing arts in the Ticonderoga area. The mission of the Ticonderoga Festival Guild is to promote, develop, sustain, present, and advance a diverse program of performing arts in the Ticonderoga area. The “Twelfth Night” tradition dates to the Middle Ages. In early times, Christmas was 12 days of celebration, starting on Dec. 25 and culminating on the 12th night, which was considered “Christmas Day.”

Nearly two dozen students battled in the second annual Kiwanis Popsicle Stick Bridge Building Contest recently. Nine teams of students from from Ticonderoga Middle School, St. Mary’s School and Ticonderoga High School competed.

Future engineers compete TICONDEROGA — Nearly two dozen students battled in the second annual Kiwanis Popsicle Stick Bridge Building Contest recently. Nine teams of students from from Ticonderoga Middle School, St. Mary’s School and Ticonderoga High School were allowed an hour, 45 minutes to build their model bridges. Just before lunch the bridges were judged for attractiveness and efficiency to see which bridge could carry the greatest load before collapsing. Judges were Maurene Streeter, Peter Reale, Joyce Cooper and Steve Boyce. Kiwanis provided building supplies, Tshirts for all students, trophies and certificates. This contest was the culmination of a twomonth program in which the students were given design guidance and presentations from Graham Bailey of Kiwanis, a retired civil engineer, and Tom Hoffman, state Department of Transportation structural engineer. Teachers Pam Arzberger, Paul Jebb and Jim Marshall worked closely with the

teams each week. The winning middle school bridge was designed and built by the Team Stratocaster (Mark Donohue and Kara Zielinski) of St. Mary’s. It carried 99.5 pounds before finally collapsing. Second place went to the team of Jake Mildon, Maura Jebb and Annette Hurlburt. Other middle school students involved in designing and constructing the bridges were Ethan Bain, Lucy LaPeter Makayla Holt, Amanda Hurlburt, Mike LaPeter, Tomas Hendrix, Skyler Torrey, Colvin Chapman, Samuel Shelmidine, Timothy Ryan, Moazam Afzal, Cheyanne Tuthill, Shelby Turner and Megan Clark.. Ben Chapman and Kevin Densmore designed and built the winning high school bridge. Emily Namer won the most attractive bridge design prize. As a surprise, Peter Reale, president of Reale Construction, offered to subsidize the cost for high school students to compete in a Regional Model Bridge Building Contest to be held in Albany on Feb. 25.

Ti highway chief asks for patience, help By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Highway Department is asking for patience and cooperation this winter. Arthur “Pat” Morrison, Ti highway superintendent, said his crew needs time and help to clear snow. It’s a big job, he said — the local highway department is responsible for 47 miles of town roads, 25 miles of county roads and 12 miles of state roads. “That adds up to 84 miles one way,” Morrison said. “Multiply that by two and you will come up with 168 lane miles. That also doesn’t count one road that has more than two lanes. “We also have a very large cleanup operation that is sizeable

Arthur “Pat” Morrison and needed to get Main Street ready for merchants as well as the school system,” he added. “Please be patient with us and we will have everything cleaned up as safe and fast as possible.” Morrison pointed out Ti resi-

dents can help the highway department by not parking on streets. “With your help we will be able to get you and your loved ones to your destination safely,” he said. “Also, to avoid having your hard work wasted, please wait until plowing is finished to shovel your driveway and sidewalk. As you’re facing the street deposit snow on the right side so as when the plow comes through it won’t redeposit the snow back into your drive.” Morrison said town plow operators take care to avoid damaging mail boxes, but it’s not always possible. “Please remember that on most roads they (mail boxes) are in the town right of way and the risk of loss or creation of a hazard is solely the responsibility of the landowner,” the highway chief said. “Please try to check them to

see if they are in need of repair. They may not come in contact with the plow, but large amounts of wet and heavy snow may dislodge them. The repair and/or replacement will be at the discretion of the (highway) department.” Morrison also urged motorist to take care. “The need to push back snow banks is vital,” he said. “If they are not, they could freeze and it would take three times the effort to widen the roads. “Snow bank safety is also a concern of many drivers of snowplows,” Morrison added. “With snow days comes the ever tempting invitation for sliding and tunnel making, so please keep our operations in mind when you see our children out playing on the snow banks so we all can avoid the possibility of a tragic accident.”

Morrison also asked drivers to: — make sure their vehicles are warm and all windows are defrosted before venturing out; — clean all snow from lights; — make sure that tires are adequate and the vehicle has plenty of gas; — remember that four wheel drive helps people go in the snow , but helps little in stopping; and — allow enough time to reach a destination and drive safely. Morrison pointed out the highway department keeps a small pile of sand/salt mixture located just west of its parking lot for use of local residents. Any abuse of this by snow removal contractors will result in discontinuing the privilege. People with questions or concerns can call the Ti highway department at 585-7317.

The Ticonderoga High School Key Club and National Honor Society sponsored the second annual Stuff-A-Bus recently to support the local food pantry. Current and former staff members, as well as members of Key Club and National Honor Society, senior students working on community service hours and members of the Ticonderoga Kiwanis volunteered their time to collect nonperishable goods and monetary donations. The organizations stuffed a school bus with 172 bags of groceries and $460, then delivered it all to the food pantry.

Information meeting Jan. 11

Ti zoning proposal to address agriculture TICONDEROGA — Rural and agricultural zoning will be modernized in the Ticonderoga zoning revision project now under way. “The proposed law will allow agricultural enterprises like agritourism or energy-generation facilities, and ag-support businesses,” said Brandy Saxton, a consultant assisting with the project. “It will also encourage value-added enterprises that process on site, like turning milk into cheese or apples into pies.” The plan for the hamlets of Streetroad and Chilson will recognize those traditional settlements and allow for small businesses, new homes and other expansion. The concept is being drafted to keep the local farming economy vi-

able. The zoning revision committee will work on the law into spring 2010, and will prepare drafts of each section for public review and comment. To access drafts and other information, people can follow the zoning and planning board link on the town website, http://www.townofticonderoga.or g, or contact Saxton at 546-7470. A public information meeting on the zoning districts and map has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11, at the Ticonderoga Community Building auditorium. This project is funded by a Quality Communities grant from the New York State Department of State.

6 - TIMES OF TI • OPINION

SATURDAY January 2, 2010

New supervisor looking forward To the Times of Ti: As the time is drawing near to enter into office as supervisor of the town of Crown Point, I want to bring notice to all Crown Point residents of several issues. As I attended the county board meetings this year, I was made aware that the county tax levy is up 2.3 percent for 2010. Gov. Paterson has cut the aid to schools and we can expect our school taxes to increase very noticeably. This is going to create hardships on people’s pocketbooks that are already drained. I intend to contact local legislators to see what money the State of New York is going to offer for all the mandates that they dictate to us. I said I would bring back communi-

ty spirit and I look forward to working with all of you who have contacted me, asking to be part of the various committees that will be formed. Committees are a way of empowering the people by encouraging them to plan and research ideas for town issues. You may not be an elected official, but you can take control of different areas of town government by participating in planning, parades, waterfront development, parks, recreation, beautification, grants, youth

and many more areas. This is your town and everyone is invited to participate and bring their ideas to the table. If you are interested in participating on a committee, please contact the supervisor ’s office and leave your name, all contact information and areas of interest and I will be in touch with you when we are ready to form the committees. I think 2010 will be a good year despite the forecast and by working together we will all benefit and reap the rewards. Community spirit is coming back and let it begin with you. I wish you all a healthy and prosperous New Year and look forward to working with you. Bethany A. Kosmider Supervisor, Crown Point

Ti chamber Santa Fest a success To the Times of Ti:

The third annual Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce Santa Fest ushered in the holiday season. Families were greeted by Santa Claus in the lobby of the Community Building. Children had the opportunity to meet Santa, tell him what they wanted for Christmas and get their picture taken. Participants then headed upstairs where they were offered a variety of crafts for the kids. The projects included making Christmas ornaments, placemats, cookie plates, picture frames and jewelry. The youngsters not only made decorations, they also decorated themselves with temporary Christmas tattoos that adorned the children’s cheeks, arms and hands. Juice and cookies were served.

As the afternoon of activities came to an end, just as a light snow started to fall, the town Christmas tree was lit. The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce would like to thank everyone who helped with Santa Fest and everyone that attended. Thanks also to the Ticonderoga High School and Middle School students, the town of Ticonderoga employees, McDonald’s, Rite Aid, and Wal-Mart for their contributions, and of course, Santa Claus. The chamber elves are already busy planning next year ’s event. Barb Brassard Executive director Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce

Port Henry poem appropriate at this time To the Times of Ti: In 1930 sophomore Bernard Breeyear submitted a poem to his Port Henry High School yearbook. Entitled The Deserting of the G.R.Sherman, the poem describes the rather rough retirement of a ferry boat that served New York and Vermont as interstate transport for many years. Read 80 years later, and in light of the critical situation now facing the Champlain Valley, this short work takes on a tone that is all the more haunting. Bernard's poem reads:

The G.R. was a sturdy ship, She sailed for many days; And many an eye has chanced to see The G.R. dodging waves. A few months ago she ceased to cross Our dear old Lake Champlain; The reason was, I heard one day, That the bridge outshone her fame. The captain had deserted her And left her to the waves; The crew has long forgot-

Retiring supervisors deserve our thanks

or the first time in a decade Bob Dedrick and Dale French can go to sleep tonight without worrying about a middle-of-the-night town emergency. The two long-time town supervisors left office Dec. 31. While each has a capable replacement — Deb Malaney in Ticonderoga and Bethany Kosmider in Crown Point — Dedrick and French will be missed. Each was a strong leader in his community and a voice of reason on the county board. More importantly, Dedrick and French are good men. But for each success, Dedrick and French paid a price. The pressures of public office, often unseen by constituents, are very real. Being on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week year after year takes a toll. I’ve enjoyed working with Dedrick and French on a regular basis, but as a friend I’m glad they’re stepping aside. They’ve done their part; they deserve to relax on the sidelines. Dedrick has been Ticonderoga supervisor the past eight years. He was a town councilman two years before that. During his years at the helm the community’s infrastructure has been completely rebuilt. He’s been at the helm for a major downtown revitalization effort, the opening of major new businesses, the creation of new parks, the renovation of Black Point beach and so much more. One of his most important contributions has been the establishment of a committee system that has attracted the best and brightest of Ticonderoga to help make things happen. “Leaving this position is bittersweet, but I hope I have left this town in better shape than I found it,” Dedrick said in his farewell address to the community. “That is the hope of every new supervisor coming into office. I can honestly state I have spent the time and the effort necessary to bring about positive changes. My fervent hope is that you, as residents and constituents, are satisfied with the results.” I’m a Ticonderoga resident who certainly is more than satisfied. French has been Crown Point supervisor the past 14 years. During French’s tenure as supervisor the town has secured $1 million in grant money for water and sewer work, improvements at the town-owned campground and boat launch, landfill closure, park renovation, weed control in Eagle Lake, housing rehabilitation, improvements at the Knapp Senior Center and other items. He also managed to cut the Crown Point’s tax rate, no small feat. “My philosophy has always been that it’s not my money, it belongs to the people and they should keep as much of it as possible,” French said. “I’ve done the best I can. That’s all I can do.” Dedrick and French are shining examples of public service. While each has dealt with frustration and disappointment at times, they should leave office proud of their accomplishments. We live in better communities today because of them.

OPINION • TIMES OF TI - 7

Why the smart couponers clip judiciously K

nowing the best ways to use coupons and match them to low-priced sales gives shoppers a huge advantage compared to paying full price at the grocery store. Stocking up when items are at very low prices is, of course, another factor in saving big on the items we buy often. So what’s the third component to supercouponing success? For me, it’s organizing and using my coupons as efficiently as possible. The newspaper may contain 40 or more coupons each week. That’s a lot of paper to potentially manage. And truthfully, I do not want to cut all of those coupons out then keep track of lots of little loose pieces of paper, sorting them by product type and category and watching expiration dates. That can quickly become a job in itself! Instead, I’ve become a big fan of a “clipless” system for handling coupon inserts, called clipless because, well, it means you will clip less! Instead of cutting each coupon out, I save the entire insert each week. I store the inserts in an accordion file, which can be found in any store that carries office supplies. I place the current month’s coupon inserts in the front pocket of the file and the previous month’s in the next divider, and so on. There are many weeks when I don’t even flip through the

Thankful To the Times of Ti: Mountain Lake Services would like to thank the following businesses for their generous contributions to our recent holiday raffle. Donators included: Mineville Oil Co., Inc., Northern Insuring Agency, Mac’s Market, Grand Union Family Markets, Celotti’s Wine and Spirits, Balsam Hollow, Thomas LaBombard, PE and Decker ’s Flats Greenhouse. Proceeds from this raffle benefited Mountain Lake Services’ Early Childhood Intervention program. We would also like to thank everyone who participated in this raffle. Nearly $1,000 was raised to help provide for services to children in our communities. Congratulations to the winners.

insert when it arrives, I simply stick it in the file so I know where it is. The important thing is to keep all of the inserts together in one place, so that you have all of your coupons on hand when it’s time to plan shopping trips. Another nice thing about this method is that it ensures you keep all of your

coupons, not just the ones that you think you’ll use. It eliminates the “beginner mistake” of cutting just the coupons you think you’ll use and then throwing the rest of the coupon insert away. Super-couponers know discarding the “unnecessary” coupons means you’ll also throw away coupons for items that will be free later. Now, if frozen peas go on sale for $1, you know that the $1 coupon for the peas offered in last month’s paper is still on hand, waiting for you to cut it out and go get some free veggies! Keeping all of the inserts intact and storing them together is the first step in this process. Then, when I am ready to plan this week’s shopping trips, I turn to the Internet to help me determine which

coupons to clip. There are many coupon Web sites that will actually give a list of every item currently on sale in your area grocery store and match the coupons to the sales for you. Each of these sites operates on the understanding you have saved all of your coupon inserts. The site tells you exactly which insert the coupon you need for a particular item appears in. An example? A site may say “Spreadable butter is on sale for $1.69. Use the $1.25 coupon from 11/16 SS and take it home for 44 cents.” The reference to “11/16 SS” tells an informed shopper exactly which coupon insert the coupon appears in — in this case, the Nov. 16 edition of the SmartSource coupon insert. If you look at your coupon inserts, you’ll

notice each one has a name at the top. These Web sites will tell you exactly which insert your coupon appears in by date and name. You then simply pull that insert from your file, clip just the coupon you need and replace the insert in the file for later use. On my Web site, www.su-

percouponing.com, I’ve got a link on the home page called “Getting Started.” This section of my site illustrates the method in more detail and contains links to many popular coupon Web sites that will help you plan shopping trips with ease. © CTW Features

CROWN POINT • TIMES OF TI - 9

Thrift shop closes for season Emergency help still available CROWN POINT — The all-volunteer thrift shop, Second Blessings, sponsored by First Congregational Church of Crown Point and staffed by volunteers from across the community, has closed for the winter months. Second Blessings is housed in the General John Hammond Chapel located on the corners of Creek Road and NYS Route 9N/22.

“The building, constructed of beautiful red brick, was the private home of the Hammonds and constructed in the early 1820s,” explained Pastor David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church. “Hence, there is little to no insulation throughout the building. While there is an oil burner, it’s efficiency is limited. “As an aside, the Kosmider family has all-but completed renovating the beautiful auditorium located on the second floor of this historic building,” he added. “Once used as a public meeting place, it will again be available fol-

lowing its completion.” During the winter months, Second Blessings will be available to answer any call during an emergency by calling the church at 597-3398. “The church and staff wish to express their deep appreciation to all our volunteers, contributor's and supporters of this vital community ministry,” Hirtle said. “Without anyone of these components, the community would have a great void. See you in the spring.”

Bridge From page 1 mont. The spectacle was televised live and broadcast on the internet. It was covered by more than 100 media members. Snow and fog at the time of the demolition limited visibility to a half mile. Sirens sounded 10, 5 and 1 minute before the demolition to warn people of the blast, but many of those watching missed the actual explosion because it happened so quickly — in about 2 seconds. Slow-motion replays of the event showed a series of 500 charges exploding along the 2,184-foot bridge and its collapse. “I could see it well,” said Frasier, who was located in a special media zone at the Crown Point Historic Site. “There was some fog, but I could clearly see the lights (charges) flashing, the explosion and the bridge coming down. “It was kinda exciting,” she added. Some of those planning to watch the event gave up because of the conditions. “I went to Port Henry to watch the demolition, but there was zero visibility so I went home to watch it on TV,” Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider said. “From what I saw, it was very quick, not as loud as they said it would be and an impressive display of precision by a internationallyknown company. “It is sad to see the old bridge go down, but staying focused to the future, I am hopeful that the new bridge will move along as smoothly as the demolition,” she said. “Mother Nature certainly did not want to cooperate today but the job was accomplished anyway.” New York Gov. David Paterson said the demolition is a key step in restoring normal traffic to the region. “We continue to move as quickly as possible to re-

Stanley Gee, left, New York State Commissioner of Transportation, supervised the demolition of the Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point. Photo by Nancy Frasier store the vital connection between our states, and resume normal transportation across Lake Champlain on behalf of those who live near and depend on it in their daily lives,” Paterson said. “The bridge coming down weighs heavy on our hearts, but it is a critical task that is now completed,” he said. “The former Lake Champlain Bridge, which served our states well since it opened in 1929, had outlived its lifespan. Once the new bridge is built, we will have an even more majestic connection between our states, and the communities in the surrounding areas will benefit from a span that will be more modern, but will preserve the environmental and historical integrity of the area.” Roads leading to the

bridge were closed to the public. A safety zone of 1,000 feet was established for land access and a 2,000 foot no-fly zone was declared by the Federal Aviation Association. The demolition was handled by Advanced Explosives Demolition, Inc. of Idaho. In order to protect the public during the Lake Champlain Bridge demolition and subsequent debris removal, the United States Coast Guard has established a water safety zone of a minimum of 1,000 feet on either side of the bridge. No vessels, vehicles or people are permitted within the area without Coast Guard approval through April 15 to allow the channel to be cleared of debris.

Schroon receives grant Main Street sewer project gets money SCHROON LAKE — Commissioner Deborah VanAmerongen has announced $2.8 million in New York State Community Development Block Grant and Small Business Program awards to help businesses grow and create 235 jobs in Chenango, Delaware, Greene, Orange, Oneida, Essex, Steuben and Wyoming counties. The town of Schroon will receive $585,000 in CDBG Economic Development funds to re-construct a Main

Street public infrastructure system. A section of Rogers Brook sanitary sewer line is in poor condition and a threat to both the physical and economic health of the local residents and community, according to state officials. CDBG funds will allow the town to replace the existing municipal wastewater collection system. The new system will support 15 existing businesses and 20 households, and result in the retention of 39 jobs, 22 of which are currently held by low- and moderate-income people. The project will also leverage $3,520,000 in funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment

Act. Gov. David A. Paterson said, “To make New York's economy strong, we must provide small businesses with the resources they need to grow and bring jobs to local communities, and security and opportunity to working families. These awards have a dramatic impact on our ability to attract companies to New York, leverage additional funding for startups and expansion projects, and create vibrant and stable communities.” VanAmerongen said, “These awards will assist dairy farms, an IT service provider, a manufacturer, and help improve infrastructure and create a new tourist attraction. Across the state, a wide array of businesses like these are working to recover from the economic downturn, meet new challenges to remain competitive, and contribute to the quality of life in New York State. The New York State Community Development Block Grant and Small Business Assistance programs provide the support and tools companies need to succeed and create jobs in their communities.”

The Town of Schroon Lions Club and the Ticonderoga Elks with assistance from the Town of Schroon Highway Department distributed approximately 38 Christmas baskets in Schroon Lake and North Hudson. The Christmas baskets have been a tradition for over 45 years. Grand Union made a donation and employees prepare the baskets. Grand Union’s Traudi Duntley and Kia LaPier (in picture) were responsible for putting the baskets together. People interested in joining the Town of Schroon Lions Club should contact a local Lion.

Moriah native honored by business group By Jeremiah Papineau jeremiah@denpubs.com

Julie A. Kramer, vice president of Nine Platt Hospitality Group, Plattsburgh, was named the 2009 Business Woman of the Year by the Champlain Valley Business and Professional Women’s Club. The Moriah native was surprised with the recognition during a ceremony at Crickets Restaurant in Peru.

MORIAH — Julie A. Kramer has been named the 2009 Business Woman of the Year by the Champlain Valley Business and Professional Women’s Club. The Moriah native, who serves as vice president of Nine Platt Hospitality Group — owners of the Best Western hotel in Plattsburgh and Ground Round restaurants in Plattsburgh and Burlington, Vt.— was surprised with the recognition during a ceremony at Crickets Restaurant. Kramer was in attendance for the dinner under the impression the award was to be given to her friend, Faith M. Osborne Long, regional director of the American Heart Association. As the letters of nomination were read, Kramer was still under that impression until the nominations — which are traditionally read using “this person” or “the nominee” in place of the person’s actual name — mentioned her service in the Army Reserves.

“I realized then they weren’t talking about Faith,” said Kramer, laughing. Kramer ’s name was announced and her husband, Rocky, and son, Dalton, emerged from a separate room with more of Kramer ’s family and friends. “It was a surprise,” said Kramer. “I was shocked. They really got me pretty good.” One of the nominations read during the dinner was actually written by Osborne Long, who credited Kramer for being “a role model for women who, through her example and leadership, makes both the business where she works and the North County community a better place for all of us.” Osborne Long also credited Kramer for her support of organizations such as the United Way of Clinton and Essex Counties and the Make-A-Wish Foundation and causes such as the Plattsburgh Heart Walk and Go Red for Women. Kramer has also been able to motivate Nine Platt Hospitality Group’s more than 100 employees on both sides of Lake Champlain to get involved in their communities as well.

“I enjoy giving back to the community and, most of all, I enjoy engaging our employees to assist me in that,” said Kramer, who serves as the 2009 Go Red for Women chairperson. “It’s nice, because through organizations like Go Red for Women, the Heart Walk, the United Way, they can give back to the community and it makes them feel good.” “Julie Kramer manages to fit more into her day than often seems humanly possible for one woman, but if you ask her to do something she will get it done, and often before deadline,” Osborne Long wrote, adding Kramer is “a personal role model for me of what a business woman, mother, friend and community member should be.” What’s Kramer ’s secret to getting everything done? “I’ve always pushed myself. It’s just the way I grew up,” she said. “I don’t look for this type of recognition. I do what I do every day because it’s a natural thing for me. It’s just something that came from my family.”

Lottery may determine spots in pre-kindergarten class PORT HENRY — Moriah Central School is preparing for a lottery to see what students can attend pre-kindergarten in 2010-11. The school plans two pre-kindergarten classrooms next academic year, with 20 students in each room. A third class is dependent upon the number of students who sign up and the availability of funding. If there are more students than class spots, a lottery will be used to determine who attends pre-kindergarten. Registration for the random selection process (lottery) begins Jan. 11 and runs through Feb. 1. Signing up a child during this period does not mean a

child is automatically enrolled in the pre-kindergarten program. It only means that parents wish for their child to be included in the random lottery that will determine the students who will be enrolled. The lottery will be conducted at a board of education meeting in March or April. If there are more students than available spots, the school

will continue the lottery to establish a waiting list, should openings occur. Those who call after the sign-up period ends will automatically be placed at the bottom of the waiting list. The process is in accordance with New York State Department of Education protocol for Pre-Kindergarten programs.

Brownie Troop #4040 waited tables at the annual senior citizen holiday dinner held at Moriah Central School. The girls served drinks and deserts, cleared tables and socialized with the guests. Assisting the Brownies were cafeteria manager Mary Supernault and her staff.

OUTDOOR • TIMES OF TI - 17

With thanks! We’re happy to be here!

Why do we choose to live in the Adirondacks? It's all about the wild lands, the lakes, rivers mountains and the wonderful characters that share such treasures!

hen my oldest daughter left for college in New York City several years ago, I knew she was in for culture shock. She had been born and raised in the small town life of the Adirondacks. Fresh out of high school, she was beginning a whole new life in the ultra-zone of the world’s greatest metropolis. I knew the congestion, pace and population would be overwhelming, yet exciting at the same time. She was moving from a region with a population density of only 5-9 people per square mile to an island with 66,173 people per square mile. The Adirondack land mass could easily encompass over 3,142 Manhattan Islands and the student population of New York University alone, comprised nearly half the population year round Park residents. Within a week of constant exposure to the routines of city life, her complaints were not with the people, rather, she had issues with her surroundings. The major shock was environmental not cultural. “There are few trees, Dad. And almost no grass,” she explained. “And my legs really hurt! Everywhere I walk, it’s hard pavement, tile or cement. I never realized how soft walking on grass is.” “And,” she continued, “There is absolutely no silence. It’s always busy with people, sirens or something. Even in my dorm room, there’s always some sort of background noise. You just can never tune it out!” “There’s no fresh air either,” she continued, "No gentle breeze. It’s always stale or smells like something, even down by the river. And when the wind blows, it’s usually full of grit.” The Adirondack Park offers a wealth of natural resources spread across an abundance of public lands. If you enjoy the outdoors, entertainment is cheap due to the ease of access to wild lands. Unfortunately, many residents take such nearby treasures for granted. Most of us never realize how good we’ve got it. There are few places left in the eastern states with such limitless opportunities for enjoying such seamless travel. Whether setting off on established land or water trail systems, there are numerous opportunities to journey in almost any direction for over 100 miles distance. Certainly, this is a major attraction for those who cherish the ability to step out the door to ski, snowshoe, hike, fish, hunt or paddle unfettered for miles in almost any direction. From my backyard in Ray Brook, I have the opportunity to travel an unbroken stretch of wild lands for over 30 miles south to Newcomb, or 60 miles beyond to Northville. I can hop the railroad bed and ski, snowshoe, sled, hike or bike over 90 miles, all the way to Old Forge. North of state Route 86 from home, I can trek through the Mackenzie Wilderness to Bloomingdale and Franklin Falls or travel west for 20 or so miles along the Jackrabbit Trail all the way to Paul Smiths or the same distance to the east to Keene. Unfortunately, I don’t take advantage of such adventure opportunities as often as I’d like. It’s a common malady, an unlikely affliction that haunts many local residents. Like most others of my species, I tend to migrate toward the familiar, the quick, and the accessible even if it isn’t always the easiest. While I have always enjoyed visiting new lands, I don't take the opportunity to pursue many of the far flung adventures anymore. I’ll skate on the Cascades Lakes rather than Lake Champlain or I'll ski over Mackenzie Mountain instead of attempting Lyon Mountain. I’ll hunt in the woodlands behind my home rather than the big woods of Hamilton County and I now prefer to cast a fly along tiny Ray Brook rather than tackling of the mighty Hudson. I’ve grown almost too accustomed to the woods and waters that compose my big, backyard and yet, I'll never take them for granted. In fact, I appreciate them now more

than ever, not only due to the ease of accessibility but also for the solitude they provide. It’s Wild Forest land, but it's much wilder than the adjacent High Peaks Wilderness but far less traveled. While the lands surrounding Adirondac Loj and Heart Lake in the High Peaks Wilderness Area have historically been labeled the “Adirondack’s finest square mile,” most locals will claim the same for tracts in their own backyard. In many cases, the lands that make up our respective backyards may be open to the public, but they are really 'ours' when it comes to regular use. Despite the fact the familiar haunts beyond our respective back doors often don't possess the grandeur, the soaring peaks or the lofty attractions of Adirondac Loj, they surely serve host to fewer visitors while still providing a comparable expanse of untrammeled land. I know that most local residents lay similar claims to their own special tracts. Everyone has a need for such territory, whether it’s a hidden valley, a secret pond, a lonely meadow, a spiny ridge, a lost boulder or a secluded lookout. These are the undiscovered, out-of-the-way spots without alot of people to clutter things up. These are places where we can walk off alone, where we can think better thoughts. It’s where we don’t see signs of other humans or if we can, they are very small and far away and they don’t much matter. These are our own special places of rejuvenation, where we can alternately be mutually in the right frame of mind and equally out of sight. These places aren’t known solely to local residents nor do locals have a unique claim to them. We earn them, then guard them to later share with a precious lucky few. Although my children are natives, I don’t subscribe to the notion, occasionally flaunted by some, that native Adirondackers are imbibed with some sort of inalienable rights to the land. Some will shutter at the notion, but I just don’t buy into the theory that a birthright instills a person with a special appreciation or a unique consideration for using the land as they see fit. In fact, there is not a single, native Adirondacker who made a conscious choice to be born here. Their parents made that choice for them. Their good fortune was simply a combination of good luck, great parents and a fortuitous decision. None of us actually own this land, we simply rent it for the short while we're on earth. The notion of locals versus outsiders is a falsehood that has been perpetuated for far, too long. In reality, descendants of the only people with rights to the term ‘native Adirondackers’ are now living in Akwasasne along the St. Lawrence River. And even their forebears almost certainly migrated to the region from elsewhere at some point in time. Call them what you like, flatlanders, transplants or imports, but there is no denying the fact that they are the ones that made an actual decision to locate here. And they made a wise choice. They are the fortunate few who recognized a better place and decided to settle in it. Rather than scorn, those that consider themselves to be 'natives' should applaud such a wise choice. So, when we hear someone who occasionally espouses such an outrageous notion as ‘protecting the park’ or preserving the ‘local community,’ it’s likely because they’ve been elsewhere and have witnessed the difference. They’ve seen what it is like. And it is typically this knowledge that fuels their fervor for living here. And most are damn proud of it! Having enjoyed the pleasures of growing up in the region, I certainly can’t fault anyone else from wanting to raise their kids in similar style. It’s the only place I would ever want for my own children. I'm satisfied with my choices. Despite the fact that there are an estimated 12 million visitors pouring into the park each year, there are fewer than 130,000 of us that are lucky enough, smart enough or just plain stubborn enough to live and play here, all the year round. Although we occasionally pay for the privilege by suffering through mud season and blackflies, subzero nights and even colder days, we are a persistent lot. We’re happy to earn just enough to get by and we’ve learned how to find our own special place. We take care of our neighbors and still take the time to look after our visitors. Most of all, we’ve earned the right to call ourselves Adirondackers, whether by birth or simply a state of mind. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Cedar, for those who are newcomers to this column, is the young dachshund I acquired a little more than a year ago to help me track and locate mortally wounded deer. While she’s continually making progress in that regard, she seems just as intent in wrecking my house and her digestive system through random acts of mischief.

Oh, that mischievous little dog

o call my pup Cedar a hellion on four paws would be the understatement of the century. In her first year on this planet, she’s managed to chew her way through every part of my wardrobe, including no less than 20 pairs of sneakers, boots, sandals and slippers as well as dozens of electrical cords. No molding or piece of furniture in the house is sacred and she’s had an emergency operation to have only lordknows-what removed from blocking her intestine. She ate my Oakley sunglasses. Destroyed an iPod, a Nintendo DS, two cell phones, every X-Box controller in the place and 10 remote controls. She’s eaten the antennas off both cordless phones and has reduced a rather large collection of CDs and DVDs to useless orbs covered in tiny tooth marks. Most recently, she chewed her way into my ice fishing pack apparently because I’d left a miniscule piece of jerky buried in a Zip-Lock deep in the pack’s underbelly. On her way in, she managed to ingest a plastic cup containing a dozen or so flies complete with number six hooks. I wasn’t all that worried, though, because she washed them down with five dozen Christmas cookies we received last week during a festive office cookie swap. I am not exaggerating — the dog ate 60 cookies. And, she weighs only 24 pounds. At least she used to weigh 24 pounds. I found her sprawled out afterward on the downstairs futon like an otter that had just ingested a pint-sized sumo wrestler. She looked at me drunkenly with one paw on her protruding belly and the other across her furry forehead as if to say, “Stupid, stupid, stupid.” The dog, however, is far from stupid. Take, for example, her uncanny knack for opening the bifold doors behind which my kitchen garbage can sets. For the purpose of a mental picture, it goes down something like this: 1) Lower the head; 2) Charge the center of the door; 3) Hurtle your tiny muscle-bound body into said door; 4) Repeat until said door opens far enough to get said muzzle wedged between said door and said door casing, and ... 5) Gorge on chicken bones, fish heads, peach pits, popsicle sticks, can tops and other life-threatening scraps until the futon calls.

Food or juice? According to Shape Up America!, you should choose fruit at breakfast instead of juice. Cut up one apple to top your oatmeal (or take it with you for a mid-morning snack). Choosing fruit gives us the benefit of more fiber, providing a sense of fullness on fewer calories. REMEMBER: the daily goal is fullness on fewer calories. And be sure to drink water with your breakfast - 8 ounces is plenty. If you drink caffeinated beverages, like coffee or tea, remember the caffeine is dehydrating. So drinking some water with breakfast is important. You don’t get any calories in plain tea or coffee. The calories are found in the milk, cream and sugar you add to your coffee or tea.

Quick tips to a healthier back If you’ve been sedentary for some time, here is something to think about before you dive back into your standard fitness routine. Remember: following any period of prolonged inactivity, begin a program of regular low-impact exercises. Speed walking, swimming, or stationary bike riding 30 minutes a day can increase muscle strength and flexibility. Yoga can also help stretch and strengthen muscles and improve posture. Also, you may want to ask your physician or orthopedist for a list of low-impact exercises appropriate for your age and designed to strengthen lower back and abdominal muscles. However you choose t make your comeback, remember to start slowly and to follow these recommendations to protect your back: • Always stretch before exercise or other strenuous physical activity. • Don’t slouch when standing or sitting. When standing, keep your weight balanced on your feet. Your back supports weight most easily when curvature is reduced. • At home or work, make sure your work surface is at a comfortable height for you. • Sit in a chair with good lumbar support and proper position and height for the task. Keep your shoulders back. Switch sitting positions often and periodically walk around the office or gently stretch muscles to relieve tension. A pillow or rolledup towel placed behind the small of your back can provide some lumbar support. If you must sit for a long period of time, rest your feet on a low stool or a stack of books. • Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes. • Sleep on your side to reduce any curve in your spine. Always sleep on a firm surface. • Ask for help when transferring an ill or injured family member from a reclining to sitting position or when moving the patient from a chair to a bed. • Don’t try to lift objects too heavy for you. Lift with your knees, pull in your stomach muscles, and keep your head down and in line with your straight back. Keep the object close to your body. Do not twist when lifting. • Maintain proper nutrition and diet to reduce and prevent excessive weight, especially weight around the waistline that taxes lower back muscles. A diet with sufficient daily intake vitamin D helps to promote new bone growth.
