By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School has a new principal. Paul Berkheimer, who retired last June after 32 years as principal at Jackson Heights Elementary School in Glens Falls, has been appointed as interim principal by the Ti school board. Berkheimer will hold the job through June while the district searches for a permanent replacement for Mike Graney, who resigned as Ti High principal to accept a similar position at Bolton Central School. “I was looking for a place similar to Jackson Heights; I felt very comfortable when I visited Ticonderoga,” Berkheimer said. “It seems like a great place to spend the next six months. I’ve met most of the staff and adminstration and everyone is very welcoming.” Berkheimer taught elementary school for 10 years in suburban Philadelphia before becoming principal at Jackson Heights. “Somehow I landed in the

Ti students win bridge competition Kiwanis sponsor event By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Future engineers showed their skills during the annual Ticonderoga Kiwanis bridge building contest recently. More than 30 students from Ticonderoga Middle School, Ticonderoga High School and St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga competed to see who could construct the strongest bridge. John Donohue, Ticonderoga Middle School principal, welcomed students. John McDonald, Ticonderoga school superintendent, also addressed students. He noted that engineering can be a rewarding career and pointed out several students from previous competitions who are now enrolled Kathleen O’Neil and Ronnie O’Neil of St. Mary’s took first place in the middle school aesin engineering colleges. thetics awards at the annual Ticonderoga Kiwanis bridge building contest. “The middle school students built model Photo by Nancy Frasier bridges out of popsicle sticks during a 1 1/2 hour time limit and then loaded a bucket suspopsicle sticks,” said Graham Bailey of the Kiwanis. “Over pended from their bridge with weights until the bridge col- half of the middle school/St. Mary’s bridges carried over 50 lapsed, resulting in some tremendous displays of shattering pounds before breaking.” Awards were presented for aesthetics and bridge efficiency — weight of the load in pounds the bridge carried prior to failing divided by the bridge’s weight in grams. Team Big Buck of Ti Middle School was the most efficient middle school bridge, carrying a record load of 170 pounds. Trevor Parent constructed the span. Team Real Tree, composed of Zach Parent and Dustin Hunsdon, was second. Team ZNHL, composed of Cara Sanchez and Nicole Tucker, was third. Middle school aesthetics awards went to Kathleen O’Neil and Ronnie O’Neil, of St. Mary’s in first place with Team ZNHL, Cara Sanchez and Nicole Tucker, second. Team Big Buck, Trevor Parent, and Team e=c2, Cassie Reale, Emily Pike and Christina Simpson, tied for third. “The high school students designed and built their balsa wood bridges as part of Paul Jebb’s physics class,” Bailey explained. “The high school bridges were also judged for efficiency and aesthetics. Five teams of students competed in this year ’s contest. The most efficient high school bridge weighing but 5 ounces carried a staggering 260 pounds, which was the strongest bridge since the program began five

Team #5, Martin Glazer and Skyler Gilbert, was second and Team #1, Elliott Ahern and Brandon Charboneau, was third. High school aesthetic awards went to Team #1, Elliott Ahern and Brandon Charboneau, in first place; Team # 5, Andrea Russell and Katherine Towne, in second place; and Team #2, Jay Herbert and Anthony DuShane, third. “Several members of this contest are planning to compete in the Capital District Engineers Week Celebration in February at the Albany Marriott on Wolf Road,” Bailey said. “It will be a great opportunity to test their design skills and model bridges against some very tough competition from other students in the Capital Region.” Kiwanis members volunteering at the competition included John Bartlett, Jack Bast, Joyce Cooper, Steve Boyce, Ken Engler, Lois Gunning, Ross and Nancy Kelley, and Bailey. Coaches working with the students for the past several months included Paul Jebb for the high school, Jim Marshall for the middle school and John Reale for St. Mary’s School. Judges for the event were Jim O’Toole, Joyce Cooper and Anthony DeFranco. Reale Construction, DeFranco Landscaping and the Ticonderoga Teachers Association also helped sponsor the event. “Participation in the event has grown over the years and the Kiwanis is always looking for companies or individuals who would be interested in helping sponsor the event,” Bailey said. “Parents of the students are also invited to attend the bridge competition at the Capital District Engineers Week.”

LaChute River being cleared; beavers, debris obstruct waterway By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — There was a time when the LaChute River was an important transportation corridor to Ticonderoga. Those days are gone, but some people would again like to see boats ply the LaChute. “Up until the railroads, 60-80 foot canal boats serviced the town’s industry,” said George Sperry, a marine surveyor and Ti resident. “They came right up the LaChute. “In addition, the boats were made here, right on the banks of the LaChute by the Burleigh brothers in the early and mid 19th century,” he said. “Although we’ll probably never see 80 foot boats in the LaChute again, it’s important to maintain some degree of navigational ability for pleasure craft.” That’s why Sperry and others are working to clear the LaChute River of debris from the boat launch in Bicentennial Park to Lake
Champlain. Sperry enlisted PRIDE of Ticonderoga to assist with the project. He is a member of the PRIDE board of directors. Also assisting is Watercraft Plus, a local business. “This project is important to me, being a boat guy, but more importantly to PRIDE, because PRIDE sees the LaChute as a thoroughfare along with the Portage, the oldest thoroughfare in town,” he said. “Historic preservation is a PRIDE hallmark after all.” Sharon Reynolds, PRIDE executive director, said clearing the LaChute now will ready it for use in the spring. “Through the efforts of PRIDE Board of Director George Sperry, a marine surveyor, working with Watercraft Plus, we were able to schedule the clearing in preparation for the spring and to encourage canoeists and kayakers to experience this beautiful paddle,” Reynolds said. “There are many trees that have fallen into the river and it appears that the beavers are ever so active.”
Bryan Giroux of Watercraft Plus in Ticonderoga works to clear the LaChute River of debris from the boat launch to Lake Champlain in Bicentennial Park.
Sperry said beavers are a major problem along the LaChute. “As a member of the PRIDE board, Sharon Reynolds and I met with Brian Giroux and an associate from Champlain Bridge Marina for the purpose of devising a plan for clearing the LaChute of navigational obstacles, i.e. low-hanging trees, etc.,” Sperry said. “We encountered beavers at work between the Kissing Bridge and the two bridges down stream. The beavers must be quite large, for the wood chips along the banks are, in addition to being fresh, quite huge. “They are taking down trees about a foot in diameter,” he said. “The problem being that the trees have the potential of obstructing flow and could eventually cause the river to overflow its banks. “The damaged trees can easily be seen

from Bicentennial Park, as can the beavers, if you are there early or late in the day,” he added. Sperry would like to see trappers take some of the beavers to alleviate the problem. Reynolds is pleased to see the LaChute River corridor cleared. The project fits in nicely with the adjacent LaChute River Trail used by recreationists. “PRIDE continues to be the champion of the LaChute River Trail making sure our residents and visitors have quality walking, biking and boating experiences,” Reynolds said, “and we are fortunate to have many partners in our efforts throughout the town and county as well as George as an active board member to oversee all things water related on the LaChute.”

Concert supports Tiny Tim charity Gifts provided to 200 children By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Community spirit was on display at the annual Tiny Tim Christmas Wish concert recently. Area musicians gathered to present holiday music to a capacity audience at the First United Methodist Church as donations were accepted to support the Tiny Tim program, which provides Christmas gifts to needy children living in the area. “Tiny Tim is an important aspect of our community; it’s one of the things that makes our community special,” said David Cornell, Tiny Tim spokesman. “There’s a recognition that, for whatever reasons, there are times people are in need. They are our neighbors and our neighbors’ children.” Tiny Tim served 80 families and 200 children in 2012, Cornell noted. “It’s a major effort to address our mission this year,” he said. “It’s so gratifying that the people we call upon support our program.” The annual concert featured the Champlain Valley Community Band, the Ticonderoga High School Night Shadows, the Ti High brass ensemble and the Ti High Sentinel Big Band. The community band featured adults and students performing together under the direction of Dale Quesnel III, a
Ti student. “It’s one of the things that distinguishes our community,” Cornell said of the band. “It’s a place where kids and adults come together to play music and learn from one another.” The community band included Malinda Chapman, Haley Hearburg, Lillitha Ida and Katherine Towne on flute; Willa Shakeshaft, Mackenzie Strum and Susan Ward on clarinet; Bob Rockwell on bass clarinet; Glen Chapman and Pat Cornell on violin; Colvin Chapman on trombone; Riley Chapman, Joel Cook, John Cook, Bob Johnson, Drew Malone and Erick DuShane on trumpet; Stephen Bartlett, Dakota Gilbert and Skyler Gilbert on alto sax; Michael LaFountain on baritone; and Tyler Morse, Karney Manning and Samuel Shelmidine on percussion. Singing in the Night Shadows male choir were Colvin Chapman, Riley Chapman, Anthony Costello, Matt Cook, Zech McLoughlin, Marcus Moser, Stephen Bartlett, Jacob Crowe, Nicholas Fritz, Skyler Gilbert, Michael Graney, Cody O’Hara, Karney Manning, Mark Donohue, Jay Hebert, Tomas Hendrix, Martin Glazer, Tyler Morse, Tim Ryan and Jordan Woods. Nelson Shapiro conducted the Night Shadows. Performing with the brass ensemble were Riley Chapman, Anthony DuShane, Dale Quesnel, Karney Manning, John Cook, Tim Ryan, Mark Donohue, Zech McLoughlin, Anthony Costello, Martin Glazer, Colvin Chapman, Michael LaFountain, Marcus Moser and Stephen Bartlett.
The ensemble was directed by Mike Iturrino. The Sentinel Big Band included Brittany Bruce, Jamie Cox, Skyler Gilbert and Mackenzie Strum on alto saxophone; Stephen Bartlett on tenor saxophone; Ryan Price on baritone saxophone, Katherine Towne on flute; John Cook, Mark Donohue, Anthony DuShane, Michael LaFountain, Dale Quesnel, Tim Ryan and Zechariah Yaw on trumpet; Colvin Chapman, Anthony Costello, Martin Glazer and Marcus Moser on trombone; Becky Barber and Hannah Herbst on alto clarinet; Susan Ward on clarinet; Dale Quesnel on piano; Riley Chapman on bass; Mark Donohue and Tomas Hendrix on guitar; and Michael Graney, Cody Shaner, Sam Shelmidine and Nikolas Theiss on percussion. Nelson Shapiro directed the Sentinel Big Band. The Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program, now in its 32nd year, is operated by Nancy Quesnel and Ann Dedrick. Any family receiving free or reduce price lunches at school is eligible, if they have children attending the Ticonderoga Central School District or St. Mary’s School. The program is entirely confidential. The Tiny Tim program started in 1980 when a group of Ticonderoga Central School teachers realized the need. The program grew to the point the teachers could no longer handle the demand. There have been a lot of changes during the years. Tiny Tim no longer accepts or distributes used items and gifts are no longer wrapped. And, Tiny Tim has grown. It started out giving away winter coats. Now each child gets six pair of socks, six sets of underwear, a jacket, ski pants, boots, clothing and toys. It costs more than $6,000 a year to operate the Tiny Tim program.

Times of Ti Editorial
Welcome 2013! W
ith the Mayan Calendar ending on Dec. 21, 2012, for some, the idea we would all still be here for the year 2013 was unthinkable. But if you are reading this, then it is proof we made it. So happy 2013 — everyone deserves a pat on the back for making it through a very interesting year. We witnessed our federal politicians maneuvering to avoid the fiscal cliff following a heated election that nearly divided the country, countless fatalities to senseless murder-suicides that no one will ever be able to make sense of; the voice behind the iconic red friend Elmo being denounced as a sex offender, and people are still facing a very uncertain economy. Now that the champagne and sparkling grape juice have gone flat, the midnight resolutions have been broken or kept it is time for a fresh start. Even without the drop of an extravagant ball in Times Square people can still mark the beginning of a new phase, or the end of a bad habit to improve their lives. According to a study by USA.gov, the typical new years resolutions include: • Drink less alcohol • Eat healthy food • Get a better education • Get a better job • Get fit • Lose weight • Manage debt • Manage stress • Quit smoking • Reduce, reuse, and recycle • Save money • Take a trip • Volunteer to help others As the cliche goes, every journey begins with a single step. Accomplishing goals and regaining happiness and fulfillment in your life can be achieved in the same way. To loose those extra pounds get out and start a new morning routine of walking to
the coffee shop. To drink or smoke less the steps to breaking the habits and addictions can be deep rooted and tricky. Find what works for you. Find a way to take your mind off of it and talk to people who have gone through it before. Chances are you aren’t the first to have troubles, so it is all right to ask for help. Our social habits and associations, as much as our eating, drinking, and exercise patterns, can be just as much an anchor against progress. If the friends you have surrounded yourself with for years seem to be standing still while you try to move forward it’s okay to separate yourself from them. In life, not everything and everyone we attach ourselves to should be permanent attachments. Don’t be afraid to go to new places and don’t be afraid to learn new things. The symbolism behind the new year is in the title: new. Human beings are forever growing and you need to create a life for yourself to facilitate growth. Looking back again there were many positives to 2012. Nationally our president was elected to serve a second term, the US teams and athletes won 104 metals during the Summer Olympics in London. Regionally an Elizabethtown youth, Connor Marvin, who suffered from a rare inherited heart condition, received a heart transplant and a new chance at life. While there is no Mayan calendar extending into 2013, the year is sure to bring plenty of positives — just as it is sure to unfortunately have its negatives.

What does $6 billion buy?
T
he financial results are now in from the recent 2012 federal election. We've just participated in the most expensive election in U.S. history. Over $6 billion was spent by federal campaigns, super PACs, political nonprofits and the party committees. Here is the split out of how the money was spent according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Presidential Candidates.... $1,377,000,000 House Candidates............. $1,010,000,000 Senate Candidates............ $720,000,000 Party Committees............... $1,800,000,000 Outside Groups................... $1,210,000,000 What troubles me is how so much money can be spent competing for these prized positions and yet once in office so little of the people’s business ever seems to be accomplished. Because of our early production deadlines for the New Years holiday I’m drafting this column five days before we are scheduled to go over the fiscal cliff. I can only hope that when you read this column the cliff has been somehow avoided, be it a last minute agreement or perhaps they get it done with a few hours to spare. Unfortunately I’m not optimistic they will get a deal done. They know what needs to be done but neither side is willing to give any ground and it appears both think the cliff will provide them cover from their constituents. Prior to the Christmas holiday congressional Republicans were calling out the President and Democratically controlled Senate for not putting forth a plan to avoid the cliff. Now that the President has returned from Hawaii and the US Senate has been reconvened by Sen. Harry Reid they are dishing it back out to the Republicans who will not return until the weekend. Wouldn’t you think these masterful campaigners who’ve raised so much money and command so much power
could do more than play childish games trying to show each other up and some Dan Alexander how in their Thoughts from self cenBehind the Pressline tered approach think that we buy these foolish antics? Well, the sad reality is most of us fall into lock step behind our party affiliation. We let them play these games instead of demanding greater accountability. In a recent Reuters Poll 27 percent of those polled blame Republicans, 16 percent blamed the President, 6 percent blame the Democrats and only 31 percent blame the whole bunch for the fiscal cliff debacle. With numbers like that is it any wonder our national elected officials have found it easy to play politics instead of solving problems? They have us exactly where they want us. We give them everything they want. We treat them like royalty. We are so gracious when they bring home our tax dollars and act as if it’s manna from heaven. As a nation we should be so overwhelmingly outraged that we find our nation in this position. When it’s their election or re-election at stake these folks demonstrate they know how to get down to business and work tirelessly. When it is the people’s business or needs, they somehow can’t get out of each others way. We have no one to blame but the person in the mirror and until we refuse to put any money into their re-elections nothing will really change. If we want real change let’s make the funds spent in the 2016 election the least expensive election in U.S. history. Dan Alexander is owner and publisher of Denton Publications.

County
Sanity in county government? Thanks for the help To the Times of Ti:
To the Times of Ti:
Please help me understand this. A defeated town supervisor is determined to be the most qualified applicant for personnel director, then he is the most qualified to be the county manager and also the only one in the whole county qualified to be the IT director by the good old boys. Then he comes up with a cockamamie scheme to soak the public in taxes so the board of supervisors can increase spending in the future. The board of supervisors suddenly finds $2 milli-plus of federal money that no one knew about and refused his plan, and he retires petulantly in a snit. He shortly thereafter experiences buyer ’s remorse and plans are put into motion to beg him to rescind his retirement. One of the major arguments being his indispensability and the six months needed to find a replacement. Even the pope isn’t that indispensable. Combine all of the above with the other statements made by our board of rocket scientists (sorry supervisors), such as they cannot cut any workers from an already bloated nepotistic county government. They cannot go a year without giving mid-level managers a pay raise. They need to bet on the come with the sale of Horace Nye for operating funds. They did not know about the $2.8 million from FEMA and they did not understand how the accounting is done in the county. We have the board of supervisors saying one thing, the indispensable good old boy county manager saying another thing and the county treasurer saying a third. With all of this, we the taxpayers of the county are supposed to have confidence in our county government. I think not! Please Santa give us a county legislature, a professional county manager and, possibly, some sanity from Elizabethtown in 2013. George King Westport
It’s time for change To the Times of Ti: If you live in Essex County, please lend yourself a hand. Your residence is subject to taxation from town, county maybe village. You vote for a town supervisor and maybe even a mayor, but you don’t vote for someone who’s sole purpose is to represent you at the county. The county budget is 14 times the size of the largest township budget, but no one manages only county business. The supervisors are elected by their town citizenship and attempt to manage both town and county government. There are 62 counties in New York, only 18 of are administered through supervisory weighted voting from township elected officials. The other 44 counties operator under legislative government which evenly provides for a small number of board members elected from equally sized established districts within the county. These legislative boards of as few as five members have the sole responsibility to run only the county. The county residents elect both a supervisor for their town and a legislator for the county. When elected officials dedicate their entire energy and skills to one government, better management is achieved. The managing editor to the Essex County-based Times of Ti, John Gereau, published a news editorial that showed the cost savings with legislative government could be as much as $300,000 annually. Eighteen supervisors are trying to agree on how to run Essex County. Weighted voting puts nearly all the decision power in the hands of three members from our largest townships of North Elba, Ticonderoga and Moriah. You’re currently paying 18 county administrators when only three really run the county. The prime advantaged is better management structure representing everyone equally. Better management means better government and that is currently lacking. It’s time for change in Essex County.

Palmer re-appointed county manager By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County Manager Daniel Palmer said he would let the board decide if he would return to the position for the next two years. Indeed, he will. By a 1,652-875 weighted vote (394 absent votes), the Board of Supervisors approved the re-appointment of Palmer on Monday, Dec. 31, just weeks after he said he was planning to resign. Nine supervisors voted to return Palmer to the post, including Gerald Morrow (Chesterfield), Margaret Bartley (Elizabethtown), Bill Ferebee (Keene), David Blades (Lewis), Sue Montgomery-Corey (Minerva), George Canon (Newcomb), Roby Politi (North Elba), Ronald Moore (North Hudson) and Deb Malaney (Ticonderoga). Five voting against re-appointment included board chairman Randy Douglas (Jay), Sharon Boisen (Essex), Tom Scozzafava (Moriah), Ed Hatch (Willsboro) and Randy Preston (Wilmington). Absent were Charles Harrington (Crown Point) and Daniel Connell (Westport), along with Charles Whitson, Jr., who was appointed interim supervisor for the town of St. Armand shortly after Supervisor Joyce Morency died in early December. Politi, who was reported as being the one who asked Palmer to return, removed a resolution from the floor of appreciation to the manager and replaced it with one to re-appoint him. The motion came with a salary of $98,615.29 for county manager and $19,515.60 for IT manager, both positions held by Palmer. Marnell asked if there could be a compromise in terms of length of the new term. “Would Dan be interested in just a one-year contract to serve in the position,” Marnell said. “It’s not that I wouldn’t be interested in something like that, but you really can’t do it,” Palmer responded. “The only way you could do that is if you made a change to the local law concerning the length of term,” County Attorney Dan Manning added. Hatch was the only one that spoke up against the re-appointment, saying that he agreed “85 percent” with an editorial that appeared in last week’s edition of The Valley News. “I think that he has done a great job and now he should go out and enjoy life,” Hatch said. “I am voting no.” Palmer thanked the board after wife and clerk to the board Deb Palmer announced that the resolution had carried. She was recognized for her service to the county in a separate resolution, as she had also previously announced her retirement at the end of the year.
Douglas seeks fourth term as county chair By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com JAY — Randy Douglas will seek an unprecedented fourth term as the chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors. Douglas, who has served three years as the chairman, equalling the tenure of former Westport Supervisor Wally Huchro, said he decided to throw his name into the ring after talking it over with his family and staff of the town of Jay. “Although they feel I am just being a glutton for punishment, I have all their blessings,” Douglas said in a letter to colleagues and the media Dec. 28. “I believe my experiences and my close contacts in both Washington and Albany, including my personal friendship with Gov. Cuomo, will continue to be an asset to all of Essex County.” Douglas also announced that Bill Ferebee of Keene would be seeking the position of vice chairman instead of North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi. “I certainly will miss Supervisor Politi’s wisdom and support as he has been a wonderful vice chairman and friend these past three years,” Douglas said. “Roby had sent out a letter to the members of the full board a few weeks ago saying that he was not going to seek re-election as the vice-chairman.” Douglas said that he has a unique working relationship with Ferebee as the two were key players in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene. “We have worked very closely on many issues that we have faced in our townships and all of Essex County,” Douglas said. “We have worked side by side to help the towns of Keene and Jay recover from the effects of Hurricane Irene. Bill and I have become quite close friends. As you can see over the last few weeks we don’t always agree. However one thing his family and my family know that our difference in positions while serving the people of Essex County will never ruin our friendships.” “At this point, it is a one-year commitment,” Douglas said. “My original plan was to stay on as long as Gov. Cuomo is in office, and I hope that I can do that.” The organizational meeting of the Essex County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to take place Monday, Jan. 7, at 10 a.m. in Elizabethtown, where nominations for chairman and vice-chairman will be sought and voted on.

TICONDEROGA — A bit of Hollywood came to the area recently. Susan Rodriguez and Eric Berman of Queens were married at an undisclosed Hague location Dec. 12 for the television program “Bridezillas.” Producer Tim Jones said the episode of the show will run in March as part of the series’ new season, its 10th, on WE TV. Details of the Hague wedding and reception held in Ticonderoga are being withheld until the program airs. Rodriguez and Berman were married Dec. 12 because of the date — 12-12-12. It’s a day that comes around only once in a century and, according to thousands of brides and grooms, it was the perfect day to marry — even if it happened to be a Wednesday. More than 7,500 brides and grooms nationwide tied the knot on Dec. 12.
“Bridezillas” is a reality television show produced by DCD Media-owned September Films and airing on the WE cable-television network. It follows the lives of women engaged to be married. The word bridezilla is a portmanteau for a difficult bride, combined with the fictional rampaging beast Godzilla. “Bridezillas” is the highest-rated original program on the WE Network. In the first season, the majority of the subjects were young, white, spoiled, wealthy residents of New York. In subsequent seasons, the show has included a more diverse range of subjects, including older, African-American and working class couples; couples from California, Texas and Wisconsin. While the first season was in production, the show was tentatively titled “Manhattan Brides.” It was only after taping was finished that the name was changed to “Bridezillas” and the footage was edited to emphasize the bad behavior of the subjects. One bride, Julia Swinton-Williamson, sued the producers for misleading her about the show. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2008.

Ticonderoga from page 1 right spot and I was smart enough to stay there,” Berkheimer said of his tenure at Jackson Heights. “It’s a wonderful school.” John McDonald, Ti school superintendent, is pleased to have Berkheimer on broad. “We feel he will do a great job getting us through the year and will provide stability in Mr. Graney's absence,” McDonald said. The search for a permanent high school principal will begin in February or March, McDonald said. Graney will become principal at Bolton Central School Jan. 1. “This is a very difficult decision,” said Graney, who has been Ti High principal the past 11 years. “I’ve learned a lot and enjoyed my time here tremendously. It’s really just a matter of seeking out new challenges. “I know many people in Bolton and admire their (school) district,” he added. “It feels like a nice fit for me personally and professionally.” McDonald said Graney will be missed. “Mike has done a fantastic job as principal,” McDonald said. “He has worked hard to become an educational leader and has been instrumental in developing new programs, most recently the marine technology and alternative high school. Mike has also helped set the standard of high expectations which has led to our top 2 percent ranking in U.S. News and World Report. “I am very proud of his accomplishments and we will certainly miss him,” the superintendent said, “but wish him all the best as he continues on his career path.” Graney is a “Ti guy.” He is a Ticonderoga native and graduated from Ticonderoga High School. He has spent his entire career, except 2 1/2 years at Putnam Central, as a teacher, coach and administrator in the Ti school district. Graney will be principal for Bolton’s entire pre-kindergarten through 12th grade school. The district has about 230 students. There are nearly 300 students at Ti High. Graney believes the transition to a new principal at Ti High will be smooth. “Whoever comes in has a great staff,” Graney said. “If the next person just lets the staff guide him they’ll be fine. That’s what I did 11 years ago and it worked out great. “This is a great, great staff,” he added. “Ticonderoga is in good hands.”

Moriah supervisor would like to see more state help fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Ticonderoga school officials have it right, the Adirondack Park is a special place with special needs, according to Moriah’s town supervisor. “I have to give Mr. McDonald (John McDonald, Ti school superintendent) credit,” said Tom Scozzafava, Moriah supervisor. “He’s right. The Adirondacks are different from the rest of the state. We’re the only region where the state limits development of private property. “The state needs to find a different formula for distributing aid to municipalities and schools in the Adirondacks,” he said. The Ti school board has adopted a resolution asking the state to create a special fund for Adirondack schools and is asking local school districts and other officials to join in
Moriah from page 1 “This is great news for the community,” he said. “These grants are based on regional impact. Bulwagga Bay has an impact beyond the town of Moriah.” The town-owned Bulwagga Bay beach and campsite on Lake Champlain is being damaged by erosion. Without action the public beach and 175-site campground will be lost. “It has to be done,” Scozzafava said of the shoreline stabilization project. “The town board can’t sit back and let that shoreline erode. It’s a black and white issue; there’s no gray area. It has to be done. “We’re losing 6 to 10 feet of beach a year,” he said. “We’re losing the beach; we’re losing the campground.” The shoreline has moved back 25 to 40 feet since 1995, according to the Adirondack Park Agency. Realizing the problem two years ago, local leaders secured permits from the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build three revetments made of half-ton rocks reaching into Lake Champlain to combat the erosion. The revetments are 4,080, 4,110 and 4,670 square feet in size, and the beach end of each will be enveloped in landscaped trees and shrubs. Those permits expire at the end of 2013, so the project must be completed. Preliminary engineering has been finished for the project and the town will soon seek bids for the final engineering plans. Work is expected to start in the spring, depending on lake levels. The Bulwagga Bay erosion project is expected to cost $300-

said. “That money will be used to develop a plan for the entire Lake Champlain-Lake George corridor.” The plan will establish criteria to prioritize water quality impairments and evaluate the economic benefit of clean water, according to the governor’s office. It will include recommendations to help protect water quality that supports the tourism industry in Lake Champlain region. “For the second year in a row, the Regional Councils have been on the forefront of rebuilding New York State’s economy,” Cuomo said. “For too many years, top-down economic development policies have failed communities across the state and not truly invested in the unique resources and strengths of each of New York’s regions. Now a new, bottom-up approach is in place that brings local communities together to chart their own economic destiny. The second round of Regional Economic Development Council awards will deliver funding for critical projects and investments in communities across our state, helping put New Yorkers back to work and rebuilding our economy.” State Sen. Betty Little noted her district had 50 projects funded by the Regional Economic Development Council initiative. “Strengthening our economy is a top priority I share with Gov.Andrew Cuomo,” Little said. “The regional economic development councils are ensuring that the state’s economic development funding priorities are locally determined. The best ideas to grow the economy come from the people, businesses, academic institutions, elected officials, non-profit organizations and others on the local level who see and know firsthand what works and where to invest these financial resources. It was great to be in Albany this morning to see the plans presented and awards announced knowing the hard work that has gone into each one.”

500,000. Scozzafava said the Regional Economic Development Council grant won’t cover the entire cost of the project. “It will have considerable impact, though,” he said. “We’ll do as much work as possible ourselves and we’ll have to bond for the rest of it.” Bulwagga Bay generated $294,737 in revenue for the town in 2012, Scozzafava said. The $120,000 profit will be used to offset 2013 local taxes. The campsite has already lost 10 lakefront campsites to erosion, Scozzafava said. That’s $20,000 a year in revenue. The supervisor also pointed out the campground and beach have economic impact on the business community. “The people at the campsite and beach stop at stores, restaurants, gas stations,” Scozzafava said. “They spend money in the community. “Bulwagga Bay is important to our local economy,” he added. “It attracts tourists, it provides local jobs and it plays a role in our economic development.” After the project is finished it will require annual monitoring of erosion and water levels on the beach. The town will be allowed to fill in — “re-nourish” — areas above the revetments where any erosion takes place. As part of the Bulwagga Bay project the town will work with the village of Port Henry to develop a strategic plan for recreational facilities that evaluates redevelopment potential and management options for increasing usage. Scozzafava said Moriah’s grant for the Lake Champlain nonpoint source pollution subwatershed assessment and management plan will be turned over to the Lake George Park Commission. “We were the sponsor agency for that grant,” Scozzafava
high-value second homes in the park. “A community can have high property values, but its year-round residents may not be able to afford higher school taxes.” He used Ticonderoga as an example. The Ti school district, which borders both Lake George and Lake Champlain, has the highest property values in this area. Yet, the school serves free or reduced price lunches to 48 percent of its students. The Adirondack Park has changed since it was created in 1892, officials note. Then it was 2.6 million acres. Now it’s 6.1 million acres. The APA was formed in 1971 and regulations adopted to restrict development. Also, the state forest preserve has more than doubled. “The park is a unique resource that New Yorkers should be proud of,” McDonald said, “but what has not been fully considered throughout its evolution and growth is the negative impact on the public educational institutions and the children they serve.”

“We have aging equipment and limited resources,” Scozzafava said. “We just don’t have the money. “These are challenging times for any municipality’s dependent on property taxes,” the supervisor said. “It’s getting more and more difficult to provide the services people depend on. In the Adirondack Park we don’t have the luxury of an expanding tax base.” Scozzafava would like to see the state impose fees on tires, vehicle parts, supplies and vehicle registrations. Those fees could then be used to create a dedicated fund for highway and bridge repair and maintenence. “The state has to do something,” Scozzafava said. “We can’t let our infrastructure fall to pieces.” Property taxes aren’t fair to land owners, Scozzafava said, noting the value of a home does not necessarily reflect a person’s ability to pay taxes. McDonald agrees. “Property values are not a good measure of a community’s ability to pay taxes,” McDonald said, noting the existence of many

the campaign. The money for the education fund could be generated by those who use the Adirondack Park, McDonald suggested. “Since the Adirondack Park was established and is constantly touted as the ‘playground’ for the state, it’s only fair that those who benefit from it should help those who live in it,” McDonald said. Scozzafava likes the idea, but feels municipalities should be included, too. “People who visit from outside the park are using infrastructure supported by our property taxes,” he said. “Yet our tax base, our ability to raise money, is limited by the Adirondack Park Act, not by our choice. The day may come when those visitors won’t have highways and bridges to drive on.” A person coming to the Adirondacks to ski expects roads to be clear during snowstorms, Scozzafava noted. A single storm, though, can cost Moriah taxpayers $10,000. He also noted Moriah, and other towns, are not repairing and maintaining roads and bridges properly because of a lack of funds.

Essex County Board of Supervisors adopt 2013 spending plan Taxes going up 1.1 percent By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The 2013 Essex County budget was passed easily under weighted voting, adopting a spending plan that represents a 1.13-percent increase to the tax levy. The budget was passed, 2,077-718, during a special county board meeting Dec. 10, with the average tax rate expected to increase five cents up to $2.40 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The budget calls for $95,000,115 in spending with $71,689,099 in revenues and $6,850,000 in fund balance, leaving a tax levy of $16,461,016. County Manager Dan Palmer said the tax levy was decreased from 2.68 percent to 1.13 percent when charge-backs from the towns were added into the budget. “This is the flat amount that is applied to everyone and then you look into the chargebacks and other factors,” Palmer said. “If there were no charge-backs, we started with 2.68 percent. Once the town puts it as a charge-back against the county warrant, then it no longer goes to the towns. That is how we went from 2.68 percent to 1.13 percent.” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said the charge-backs would affect local municipality
taxes based on the amount each had in chargebacks. “You just shifted it from one to the other,” Scozzafava said. Voting for the budget were Charles Harrington (Crown Point), Sharon Boisen (Essex), Randy Douglas (Jay), Scozzafava, Roby Politi (North Elba), Michael Marnell (Schroon), Deb Malaney (Ticonderoga), Ed Hatch (Willsboro) and Randy Preston (Wilmington). Voting agains the budget were Gerald Morrow (Chesterfield), Margaret Bartley (Elizabethtown), Bill Ferebee (Keene), David Blades (Lewis), Sue Montgomery Corey (Minerva), George Cannon (Newcomb), Ronald Moore (North Hudson) and Dan Connell (Westport). With only one person speaking during the public comment period of the meeting, a majority of supervisors took a chance to make their feelings known on the budget. “We can all appreciate the amount of work that has gone into the budget process this year,” Blades said. “I am most concerned with the future and the unknown. We can never get to a balanced budget by artificial means. It is my opinion that we are using an excessive amount of fund balance in order to make this board look good.” Blades also channelled Ebenezer Scrooge. “Coal must be rationed if we are to see substantial cuts in county spending,” he said. “We need to make those difficult decisions now, and
not in the future.” Bartley said she felt the money coming from FEMA should not be used to bring down taxes. “The FEMA money represents money that we have already spent,” she said. “These funding sources will only replace money that we have already spent. I believe that next year will even be higher. I cannot support a budget that will only put us farther behind then we already are.” Connell responded to supervisors who said the board should not have spent so many years with little or no increases to the levy. “There has been a quite a few times that we should not have gone through six years of no tax increases,” Connell said. “I was here for all six, and it was a mistake. I am deathly afraid of what this budget is going to mean for us in 2014. We are so far in the hole that I am not going to make the same mistake that I made for six years running.” “I feel relying on the FEMA money is relying on money that is not in our hands," Ferebee said. “Should those monies not come in, we would be left with just over $1 million in fund balance and that would have us in real trouble.” Politi said he struggled with the decision. “I think that this is about making it through a financially difficult time in this state and for so many residents in Essex County,” he said.
“It’s a difficult decision to support this proposal. There is no question that next year is going to be tough and the year after is going to be tough. This board needs to take a closer look at our operations and our personnel.” Corey said she felt this was a vote of conscious, referring to the vote made on the Horace Nye Nursing Home. “I think that this is a much bigger vote of conscious than that was because it affects all county residents of all income levels,” Corey said. “The vote is weighing which is more important and how do we balance. The things that I have seen over the last week really are worrisome.” Corey also said she agreed with Palmer that a new budget process needs to be followed. “The budget process that we have been using really is not serving us well,” she said. “Our county manager was right. This needs to be a three-year process in order to get us back on the right path.” Scozzafava said he felt depleting fund balance could help lead to a balanced budget. “It might not be a bad thing if we deplete the fund balance because then we have to make cuts and deal with the real issues,” he said. “I fully support this budget and feel confident in using the amount of fund balance that we are. Tax payers are fed up with paying taxes.” The board also voted against overriding the state 2 percent tax levy cap.

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 15
Generator lifts skiers, saves money Schroon ski area opens By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Mike Marnell knows a bargain when he finds one. The Schroon supervisor recently found and purchased a generator that is now online at the Schroon Lake Ski Hill. The generator powers the ski tow, lights, heaters and the warming hut. The generator, a $30,000 item, was bought for $250 from
Federal Surplus Property, a program that allows non-federal organizations to obtain property that the federal government no longer needs. “This is a great find for the town,” Marnell said. “I started looking for one last spring and finally located it. Federal Surplus Property has all sorts of things for towns, schools and other agencies.” The timing couldn’t be better. Schroon got more than a foot of new snow Dec. 27. The ski area with the new generator opened Dec. 29. “Everything worked out great,” Marnell said. “The generator is in place, the ski trails have been groomed. We’re all
Schroon Supervisor Mike Marnell stands with the new generator being used at the Schroon Lake Ski Hill. The $30,000 generator cost the town $250. set.” Located at the Schroon Lake Municipal Golf Course, the ski area is open Friday noon to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on school holidays. Skiing is free. Before getting the $250 generator, the town was leasing a generator to operate the ski area at a cost of $1,800 a month. “We’re saving a lot of money with this generator,” Marnell said. Besides skiing, the town facility has a hill designated for sledding.

A season with a reason
A
s I gaze out my office window, a stiff and steady west wind is sending tiny tornados of snow, tumbling across the frozen ground in my side yard, and finally the wind-driven snow is beginning to pile up. After putting up with yet another dry, unseasonably warm and notably extended autumn, it appears winter has finally arrived. The fierce, winter winds of the new season whip the landscape with a ferocity that appears to punish occupants for imposing yet another unnatural delay on the earth’s natural rhythms of seasonal adjustments. Winter is the only season that shares its wealth across the span of man’s marked time, as it punctuates the calendar year from beginning to end. This may be the reason the season seems to be so persistent in the Great North Woods. Nearly all the seasons descend upon the landscape gradually. Spring’s greens push their way up through the soil, as buds slowly appear among the previously, barren wooden skeletons of the past season's forest. Wildflowers will dot the marshes, as songbirds and peepers begin to sing from the bogs, as if announcing the arrival of the new season. Summer follows slowly along, in a push and shove contest with the spring, and it isn’t considered complete until the waters finally warm up enough to accept swimmers, as lighting bugs begin to blink in the warm, night air. Eventually autumn rolls around and in no time it to gracefully unfolds like an Old Persian rug, to unveil all of the finest splendors a fine forest can afford. The fall season arrives as a grand kaleidoscope of colors takes over the land, and slowly the sweet, moist, pungency of decay begins to perfume the mountain air. A host of natural sights, sounds and scents continue to tickle the senses, as the season wears on, until slowly, gradually, and almost imperceptibly, the woodlands begin to shed their natural Technicolor Dreamcoats.
A hooded merganser, resplendent in a natural tuxedo, swims slowly along the Saranac after the big storm.
A barren, white pine stands in stark contrast to the surrounding whitewashed forest, along the shoreline of an Adirondack Pond. Soon, nothing is left beyond the sad, stark, black, brown and grey skeletons of hardwoods, which hang forlornly from the hillsides as the season finally limps and whimpers to a completion. Winter is the sole exception to the rule. Despite the fact the season often begins with a series of coughs, spits and sputters like a wheezing, old codger, there is no way to escape the occasion when the cruelest of seasons finally crosses the barren threshold of a landscape that has been nearly stripped of all earthly delights. Winter stands alone among the seasons with its formidable capacity to instantly transform the landscape. It whitewashes the earth in a process that is always magical to observe, and yet often too brutal to bear. Unlike all of the other seasons, winter is a period of non-scents, there are no flowers, no smelly bogs, and no perfumed winds. One would expect a bit of vanilla flavor at least! Indeed, the cross winds of winter appear to white wash
of all the earthly flavors from the land. Yet there always remains an undeniable sweetness which extends far beyond the apparent bitterness of the season. Winter doesn’t arrive gradually, as do the other seasons. It simply unfolds all at once, carpeting the earth in soft, gentle monotones of monotony, which serve to highlight the black ribbons of rivers and streams, and the dark, sullen dots of endless lakes and untold ponds. No, winter doesn’t grow anything beyond ice, snow and a whole lot of fun! Unlike the other seasons, which graciously wait on Earth’s front door while graciously waiting for permission to enter, winter tends to barge right in. It is bitter and bold in its disregard for human comfort. Winter doesn’t knock, and it doesn’t wait. The season is an impatient traveler and it answers to no one in particular. Before you know it, it spreads a fresh, frosty topping from the valleys to the mountaintops, and all points between. Winter storms onto the earthly stage in a full on, frontal attack with a natural carpet that unfurls across the barren earth. It is a hard and cruel season, despite its surprisingly soft underbelly. Fortunately, the current storm continues to deliver a deep, sweet utilitarian cover of fresh powdery snow. I far prefer to have a useful mess of the white stuff rather than a simple short, squat cosmetic dusting. We deserve a useful snow, one that supports all sorts of snow sports. Snow is the lifeblood of the regional economy, as it fires the furnace of tourism. I’ll gladly pay my penance with a shovel in my hand, but right now, I want to ski, and ride, and glide for this is the season, and I have many good reasons to have it on my side.

Dan Stec steps into statewide role as Assemblyman college a year early, or achievements in high school sports — whether it was heaving a shot put for the track team or being an effective team player in football. Stec’s father, George Stec, said Dan would be effective in his new role.
“Dan understands the word ‘compromise’ in achieving his goals,” he said. Until Tuesday, Dan Stec served as Queensbury supervisor for nine years. He was a town councilman for four years beforehand.

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — After a formal but emotion-charged event held Tuesday, Jan. 1, the lower Adirondacks region now officially has a new representative in state politics. State Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) was sworn in Tuesday in a ceremony held in the Warren County courthouse. About 120 people from across the fourcounty region that Stec now represents attended the event. State Supreme Court Justice David Krogmann conducted the ceremony. As the judge administered the oath of office, he voiced a patriotic theme. “Due to our democracy, we have the privilege to watch and participate in a smooth transition of power in a humble and quiet way,” he said. “...With no shouting, no gunfire.” Stec’s son Peter led the Pledge of Allegiance, voicing it without hesitation. Stec’s wife Hilary, his parents George and Elsie Stec stood beside him as he was sworn in — a ceremony that was concluded with lengthy applause. In a casual speech that followed, Stec said he’d dedicate his days to working diligently on behalf of his constituents. “You have my solemn oath that I will work hard, I will be honest, I will be plain speaking, and I will do the best that I can for all of the state of New York,” he said. “We’re facing difficult times, and we need to make sure we all work together on important issues — and if they’re not important, we must set them aside.” Stec continued that he was going to concentrate on advocating decisions that yield positive results for local citizens. “We’re going to roll up our sleeves and get this state moving down a better path,” he said. Stec said he was “floored” by the turnout of friends, family and community leaders
throughout his 114th Assembly District, which includes all of Warren and Essex counties and portions of Saratoga and Washington counties. Among the community leaders in the audience was Glens Falls Economic Development Director Ed Bartholomew, who’s known Stec for decades. He said that Stec would serve the citizens of the lower Adirondacks quite well. “Dan will fight unnecessary regulations and mandates, he’ll strike a balance between urban and rural concerns, and he’ll be able to develop a consensus on issues due to his leadership abilities — and this is particularly important when he’s dealing with interests all over the state,” Bartholomew said. “He will be a great advocate for the region.” Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting offered similar thoughts. “I’m impressed with Dan Stec’s dedication and commitment,” he said. “He knows the area, the people, and what we need in the Adirondacks — he’ll represent us tremendously.” Pondering his new position, Stec said he had not imagined 20 years ago that he’d be a state Assemblyman — but when the position opened up 10 years ago, he decided to seek the post. Although he bowed out of the race in 1992 and supported Teresa Sayward at the time, he has since had his sights set on the position. Stec’s mother, Elsie said that Dan, from an early age, would work hard to accomplish his goals. “He’s always done what he’s set out to do,” she said, referring not only to his career, but going off to
