gallery. “Each person who has their work there will have to man the gallery,” Viestenz said. “How often they do this will depend on how many people we have and how many hours the gallery is open. If we rent the proposed building and we have six people participate, then each one would pay about $60 a month. If there are more people, then it would be less. The space could hold up to eight artists/craftspersons.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

TICONDEROGA — Wayne Taylor doesn’t like to gamble, but the Ticonderoga councilman and the entire town are taking a chance. The town has started its first test well, at a cost of $25,000, trying to find a water source as part of a $13.8 million water system improvement project. “I’m optimistic,” Taylor of the test well’s success, “but I’m also scared to death.” Facing a federal mandate to either cover its existing water sources or use groundwater, the town of Ticonderoga has started a comprehensive water system upgrade. Town officials hope to replace the existing water system, which draws water from Lake George and Gooseneck Pond, with groundwater drawn from a series of wells. The first step is to find adequate groundwater for the project. The initial test well is located off Hall Road in Chilson. “We’re looking for a highyield source,” said Tracy Smith, Ticonderoga’s water

War of 1812 program planned Concert Jan. 24 in Ti By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Music from the War of 1812 is coming to Ticonderoga two centuries after battles were fought in the Champlain Valley. Dave Ruch will present “The War of 1812 - Songs and Stories from New York and Beyond” Thursday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m. at the Ticonderoga Community Building. Sponsored by the Ticonderoga, the First 250 Years Committee along with the Ticonderoga Historical Society and the Heritage Museum, the concert will be free and open to the public. Ruch performed music of the Adirondacks in Ticonderoga last year at the invitation of the local historical society. “Dave is back!” said June Curtis, event planner. “Dave is back with a fascinating portrait of the War of 1812 through the songs and stories of the people themselves. He has dug deeply into archival recordings, diaries, old newspapers and other historical manuscripts to unearth a wealth of rarelyheard music which, alongside some of the classics from the war, offers a rounded and fascinating picture of this second war of independence.” Ruch is a professional musician and educator who sings and plays music on an assortment of instruments including mandolin, banjo, guitar, jaw harp, bones, spoons and more. His concerts include historical tidbits and humor. “Last year Dave entertained us with an extraordinary program of songs and stories from the Adirondacks and we’re

pleased to have him return with his War of 1812 program,” Curtis said. “With particular emphasis being given to New York State’s important role in the conflict, we’re sure to hear about the first USS Ticonderoga, a schooner which rendered gallant service during the Battle of Plattsburgh. This vessel, built in neighboring Vergennes, Vt., now rests in Whitehall.” “The concert is one of several events promoted by the Ticonderoga, the First 250 Years Committee leading up to three historic anniversaries — the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the 250th anniversary of the settlement of Ticonderoga,” said Bill Dolback, committee chairman. “Please mark your calendars for a Civil War presentation by Virginia La Point on Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. and a War of 1812 program by Bob Lamb on March 15 at 7 p.m., both at the Hancock House.” The concert event is made possible through Speakers in the Humanities, a program of the New York Council for the Humanities. Speakers in the Humanities lectures are made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the New York State Legislature, and through funds from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. The New York Council for the Humanities is a not-forprofit, independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Through statewide collaborations, and programs and services that encourage imaginative thinking and critical inquiry, the Council works to ensure that the humanities are present in the intellectual and cultural life of every New Yorker.

St. Mary’s students highlight community Models on display at Ti chamber By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — What are the most important places in the community? That was the question posed to St. Mary’s School, Ticonderoga, first grade students recently as part of a social studies project. “We have been studying communities, what it means to be part of a community,” teacher Rachel Zauner explained. “Each student was asked to choose a place with special meaning to them and build a model of it.” Students completed the task entirely at home with the help of family members. “I wanted it to be a family project,” Zauner said. “We had brothers, sisters, moms, dads, grandmothers, grandfathers all help. We discussed each place and what it means in school, but the construction was a family project.” Students built 14 models representing area places. They are now on display at the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce office on Montcalm Street. “They’re wonderful,” Matt Courtright, chamber executive director, said of the models. “It’s obvious a lot of work and thought went into them.” The students in the class hail from Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Moriah, Putnam and Dresden. “We had a lot of different communities to talk about,” Zauner said. “It really worked out well.” Landen Smith made a model of the Dunkin’ Donuts building. “It’s my favorite place to go,” he said. “I love it there. I eat donuts.” Collin Lauzon constructed the Hot Biscuit Diner. “My dad takes me there a lot,” he said. Stevie Sprouse made the Mineville-Witherbee fire house. “I like it there,” she said. “On special days they have a contest to eat hot dogs.” Billy Hurlburt’s model represents McDonalds. “I love it there,” he said. “I love the French fries and hash browns.” Robert O’Neil constructed the Ticonderoga International Paper Co. mill. “My dad works there,” he said. “Sometimes I visit him there.”

St. Mary’s School, Ticonderoga, first grade students have constructed models of important places in the community. The models are on display at the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce office on Montcalm Street. Garrett Beebe made the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union’s Ti branch. “My mom works there,” he said. “I always go there.” Kaelyn Hurlburt decided to make St. Mary’s Church in Ti. “It’s holy,” he said. “It’s God’s house.” Aidan Ross made Tony’s Ti Sports. “My dad works there,” he said. “I’ve been there a lot of times.” Hannah McGrath constructed a model of the Sugar & Spice Shop in Ticonderoga. “I love the kids’ section there,” she said. Madeline Lender made St. Mary’s School. “This is where I learn,” she explained. Brooklyn Huestis created Crown Point Central School. “I like it there,” he said. “You can learn there.”

Madelyn Holman made a replica of the Silver Saw Logging Co. in Dresden. “My dad works there,” she said. “He has lots of big equipment.” Nathan Myers made Mt. Defiance. “I like the cannons there,” he said. “I like to see the water and climb there. It’s really fun.” Carter Thatcher constructed the Wagon Wheel Restaurant in Ti. “My dad works there,” he said. “The food’s good.” Letters have been sent to each of the businesses represented and others telling them about the display at the chamber office. “I’m very proud of my students,” Zauner said. “I think they had fun, they learned and they had an opportunity to work closely with their families. It’s been a great project.”

Supervisors voice displeasure with Hacker Boat decision By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN — A controversial move by a Ticonderoga company drew the ire of members of the Essex County Board of Supervisors. During the Jan. 14 Economic Development Committee meeting, supervisors lashed out at the company, which recently announced it is using a state grant that was secured through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council to move from Ticonderoga to Queensbury. “What disturbs me the most is to see that they received a grant from the state, and to pirate a company out of one county into another seems wrong,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “If you have a company that is located in one county and then to take Garrett Beebe, a St. Mary’s School first grade student, shows the modstate funds and move them 50 miles down the road into another el of the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union Ti branch he constructed as county is just wrong.” part of a class project. Board Chairman Randy Douglas, a member of the NCEDC, said he was shocked when he learned what the grant was going to be used for. “I certainly never would have supported this if I knew that this were going to be the result,” Douglas said. The committee is chaired by Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney. “It is wrong. It is extremely wrong,” she said. “The IDA and the town have been working with them since 2011. Gary (Douglass, NCEDC co-chair) is fully aware and very upset about this as well. This situation is the first of its kind. Chains were rattled all the way through.” “We have worked diligently with them, and we had no idea this was coming,” Essex County IDA co-director Carol Calabrese said. “We had direct communication throughout this, and we had no idea.

Times of Ti Editorial

Essex County should switch to legislators

ow that the reappointing and fist bumping is over, the Essex County Board of Supervisors should tend to some business that will actually save taxpayers money, and that is disbanding in favor of a board of legislators. By our estimate, the move would easily save county and town taxpayers at least half a million dollars annually. It would also provide residents with representation at the county who have no other interest other than county business. At the same time, the board would no longer be ruled by the weighted voting power of the “big three” — the towns of Ticonderoga, Moriah and North Elba; no legislator would have more voting power than any other. Imagine that. No squabbling over what’s in the best interest of your town, only what’s in the best interest of the people you represent and the county as a whole. What a novel concept. It seems to us that seven people sitting around a boardroom table with an equal vote and no outside agenda might just get more accomplished than 18 with a foot in more than one camp. Perhaps that is why more than 70 percent of the counties in New York have already gone the way of a board of legislators. A board of legislators is a more efficient, more accountable form of county government. All you have to do is compare Essex County with nearby Franklin County — which switched to a seven-member board of legislators in 1970 — to quickly see the tremendous cost savings, both on the town and county level. On the town level, the average annual salary for a part-time supervisor in Franklin County last year was $10,735. Only one supervisor, in Harrietstown, was offered health insurance. In Essex County, on the other hand, the average annual salary last year for a town supervisor was $28,666, while 13 of 18 were offered health insurance. That means Essex County’s 18 supervisors made $312,000 more in 2012 than Franklin County’s 19 part-time supervisors. Then, at the county level, the seven members of the Franklin County Board of Legisla-

tors made $108,000 last year compared to $319,137 in Essex County — a difference of $211,137. Combine those two numbers and Essex County’s 18 supervisors cost more than half a million dollars more last year than Franklin County’s 19 supervisors and seven legislators, with 12,000 fewer residents. Franklin County has 51,579 residents compared to Essex County’s 39,302. Add to that the cost of benefits both at the town and county for 18 people and the final tally no doubt pushes that number closer to $1 million annually. We’ve heard the arguments in favor of a board of supervisors. Some believe the constituent service is better with a full-time, accessible town supervisor and officials argue that the county interaction with towns is better under the current governing body. But as a taxpayer, you have to ask yourself: Is it worth a million dollars more out of pocket each year? Under a board of legislators, each town would still be represented locally by a parttime supervisor, as well as a town board. Residents would still be represented by a legislator at the county level. That’s better representation for less money, if you ask us. But don’t take our word for it — ask the 44 counties in New York that are already under a legislative form of government. Ask them if they miss the cost and bickering associated with a board of supervisors and a weighted vote. Making both the legislator and supervisor positions part-time also would open them to a different slate of candidates like people who might like to serve but are unable to do so in a full-time capacity. Local government truly began to go awry when the positions started to evolve into an occupation instead of an opportunity to serve your community. Our supervisors should act now and not allow their own job security to cloud their judgement over what is best for the county. Faced with an unprecedented financial mess heading into the year ahead, we can think of a number of ways one million dollars could benefit local towns and the county above paying the salaries of 18 politicians. —Denton Publications Editorial Board

Viewpoint

Are kids pointed in the right direction?

ne thing we never seem to be short of are studies in human behavior. Several recent studies point to some alarming concerns for the future of our country. Reading survey outcomes is a little like reading tea leaves. Each person can see what they want to see in the results, but these results have more than just a few experts reaching similar conclusions. The first is the American Freshman Survey, which has accumulated data for the past 47 years from 9 million young adults. The survey reports that college students are more likely than ever to call themselves gifted and driven to succeed, even though their test scores and time spent studying is decreasing. American students have increasingly given themselves "above average" ratings on several attributes but bragged most regarding their "drive to achieve." Almost four-fifths of survey responders say they're above average in this category. The other survey from Pew Research Center, asked respondents if they had ever received benefits from any of six major federal entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, welfare, or unemployment benefits. Pew found that in addition to the 55 percent of adults who had received benefits, another 16 percent said that while they had not received benefits themselves, a member of their household had — meaning 71 percent of adults belong to a household that has benefited from at least one of these six major programs. If veterans’ benefits and federal college loans and grants are included, the share of households with at least one recipient rises to a surprising 86 percent. When you combine the results and begin looking at other factors one has to question if our youth will be prepared to be fully self sufficient when their time comes to take the reins and support a much larger and aging Boomer population. Not only do entitlements breed a certain dependency but look at the popular trends today like Facebook or Twitter where young people can fool themselves into thinking they have hundreds or thousands of “friends.” They can block anyone who

disagrees with them or pokes holes in their inflated self-esteem. They can choose to show the entire world only flatDan Alexander Thoughts from tering, sexy or Behind the Pressline funny photographs of themselves, speak their mind on short posts and publicly connect to big name movie stars, professional athletes, politicians and musicians to whom they are digitally connected. They can quickly Google search any facts as easily as asking their phone for the answer. It is a society where everyone is considered a champion, schools push underperforming students along, reality shows rule the airwaves, children who don’t fit the norm are drugged to conformity, energy drinks are the beverage of choice, video games are the great past-time and, as a nation, we keep borrowing money that this generation will someday be forced to payback. It’s great that government and the taxpayers can lend a hand when you need it, but what happens when government reaches the point they can no longer treat the masses as special and individuals are forced to fend for themselves? What happens when reality really becomes real and it’s no longer just a do-over video game or TV show? Will our youth be prepared for the challenges which surely lie ahead of them in the future? When you are young you’ve got nothing to compare to accept the events of the day. As you age you understand the difference between good times and tough times. As a nation we’ve been and continue to be on a good run economically, but at the rate we are currently spending one has to wonder how much longer the government can continue to borrow to support those who may not be up to the challenge of supporting themselves, let alone when they’ll need to support the Boomer generation.

Letters to the Editor

Don’t punish gun owners To the Times of Ti:

Veteran’s request

Thankful

To the Times of Ti:

Gun laws punish the law abiding citizens who own or want to own guns, not the criminals or the mentally ill who have gotten them illegally. We have gun laws on the books right now that are not enforced. Why is that? Why is it that the criminals who kill people or use one in a crime get a slap on the wrist and we the responsible owners get more laws? Why is it that more 97 percent of crimes are committed by criminals than responsible gun owners, yet we pay the price and not them? Why it that more people are killed in traffic accidents, drunken drives included and more people are killed with blunt objects (baseball bats, clubs, tire irons etc..) yet where is the outcry from the public over that? Why is it that when a responsible gun owner saves the life of another or uses it to defend their family against a home invasion it is rarely talked about by the main street media? Why is it that there is no out cry about a newspaper listing the names, address and interactive map of gun owners, when it endangers battered women, women hiding from stalkers, women and children in general and officers of the law and their families? Before you ask for our guns let me ask you to take a breath and think. Think about who did the killing in Newtown, Conn., Colorado and Arizona. It was deranged young men not a responsible gun owner. You will never stop a deranged person or criminal from killing anyone unless you own and have a gun on you at that time. Lorraine Kovarovic Schroon Lake

Hague FD to be part of activities To the Times of Ti: The Hague Volunteer Fire Department, as usual, will be deeply involved in the annual Hague Winter Weekend Feb.1517. The firemen’s breakfast, Rotary silent auction, emergency support of the Polar Bear Plunge supporting the Vermont Children’s Hospital, and the Chili Cook Off complete the WWE schedule. Be sure to come out and enjoy all that winter in Hague has to offer. Our firemen are currently training with and testing Scott air packs along with regular monthly fire training, radio and siren testing. EMT training and skills learning is on going. In December there were 14 fire calls and drills using 206 man hours and seven EMS calls using 194.5 man hours. Thanks to one and all in Hague and our surrounding communities for your continuing support. If you expect to be out in the cold for long periods of time, be sure to insulate your extremities. Wool, felt, down and thinsulate are still the materials of choice. Happy New Year. Joe McCranels information officer Hague Volunteer Fire Department

‘Molon Labe!’ To the Times of Ti: To all misguided gun grabbers: I’m quite sure any teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary or an adult movie-goer in Aurora, Colo., would have wanted a fighting chance. Gun-Free Zones guarantee no one has a fighting chance. This is wrong! This is stupid people making stupid regulations and then blaming it on the NRA or other conservative Second Amendment group. The liberals have been trying for years to restrict gun rights. Now they want to change the laws again whereby, eventually, none of us own guns. They want the whole country to be a Gun-Free Zone. Incredibly stupid! Hands off our guns! If all misguided gun-grabbers are brave enough, let them know this term of defiance, “Molon Labe!”

To the Times of Ti:

Paul Bourgeois is a disabled war veteran, a life member of VFW Post 146 of Ticonderoga and I received the following request from him shortly after Christmas. He asked me by a phone call to thank the many people from the states that sent him Christmas cards and get well cards. Paul is hardly able to walk and has arthritis and unable to write. Paul is a dual citizen of the United States and Germany. His wife, Allie, a German lady, resides at this address: Paul Bourgeois, 1-M Klein Feldchen 2, 65510 Edstein, Germany. My name is Charles Gusher Smith and I have been in close contact with Paul since we both graduated from Ti High School in 1939. He called me for this simple request. Please notify all the friends I cannot write to or call. I have written or called all I can remember and in hopes your newspaper will print this to catch any I may have missed as Paul was well known and knew many people in Ticonderoga. I would be grateful if you would print this article. Charles “Gusher” Smith Ticonderoga

Ti firefighters busy, prepared To the Times of Ti: 2012 was another busy year for the Ticonderoga Fire Department. We responded to 213 emergencies ranging from building fires (10), motor vehicle accidents (32), assisting EMS agencies (24), fire alarm activations (42) and 107 other emergencies. We pride ourselves in our rapid responses of 2.2 minutes on average. We currently have a roster that includes 49 full members, 18 junior members and 22 auxiliary members. Our average call had 12 members spending approximately 32.5 minutes on each call and our membership totaled 1,733.5 man hours for all emergencies. On top of responding to the emergencies you will see we put in even more in our training as we logged 2,533 man hours of training. We also pride ourselves with an excellent fire prevention program in which we put in over 100 man hours of time during the month of October at our schools educating the younger generation. We are always looking for new members and applications can be obtained on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7 or contact any member for more information. There are many classifications of firefighters that all have a very important job and you don’t have to be the one going into a burning building to volunteer with us. Our junior firefighter program is the strongest it’s ever been with 18 members ranging from 14 to 17 years old. Their primary role is to train with our senior members and learn all about firefighting so when they turn 18 they are ready to go. The Fireman’s Association of the State of New York currently offers scholarships to college bound students who volunteer at their local fire department. We encourage everyone to make sure their heating sources are properly cleaned and maintained and make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector in place. The public is welcome to stop by anytime to see what we are all about. We expect 2013 to continue to be busy and we look forward to meeting any challenges we encounter. Matt Watts, assistant chief Ticonderoga Fire Department

The Ticonderoga Heritage Museum board of trustees would like to thank the BPOE Lodge #1494 for sponsoring a benefit breakfast for our museum on Jan 6. The event was very successful. Money raised from this event goes toward maintaining free admission to our museum programs, especially our children’s summer workshop series. Special thanks to the Marge Hurlburt’s kitchen crew and to everyone who supported this event. Sylvia Boyce, treasurer Ticonderoga Heritage Museum Board

It’s not guns, it’s people To the Times of Ti: I’m so tired of hearing how guns are the problem. For the love of God, it’s not guns, it’s people! Let me point out that during the Civil War a lot of innocent civilians died, men, women and children. The innocent people that have died far exceeds all of the recent horrific tragedies combined, and after all that bloodshed no one ever thought, tried or even breathed a word about gun bans or restrictions. The reason is because our ancestors knew the problem wasn’t guns, it was people! Have we become so pompous to over look that simple fact? Our ancestors also knew we have the right to have “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state,” the Second Amendment ensures Americans of this. It was people, and their hate, greed and instability, prejudice, and not to mention racism, these are the facts that drove people to kill each other during the Civil War. They are the very same reasons people commit violent acts today. Those people that commit crimes with weapons shall be punished accordingly. No need to punish all good law abiding citizens. If guns are banned all together, and if evil people are bent on hurting others they will find a way. Most guns are semi automatic, including, hand guns, and even pellet guns. They can all be dressed to look like an assault rifle, however, it doesn't mean they are made to kill people. The Second Amendment says “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” We have the right to choose whatever kind of arms we want to bear! People decide this, not the government! Chad Jordon Ticonderoga

Memory tree a success To the Times of Ti: The Ticonderoga Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank everyone who donated to our memory tree this year. This was our 11th year and we are happy to say we had another successful year! All money collected will be given away in scholarships for the Ticonderoga Middle and High School graduations. Thank you again for your continued support. Betty Mason Memory tree chairwoman Ticonderoga

John P. Sharkey Ticonderoga

Benefit a success To the Times of Ti: Many thanks to everyone who came out on Jan. 5 to support the fundraiser for the Best Fourth in the North committee at The Pub. For old time’s sake, Tommy and Bobby Dedrick were going to be the bartenders at “Bob’s TV Bar.” Unfortunately, Bob came down with the flu and couldn’t make it, but Tommy’s daughter Deanne very ably filled in for him. The bartenders very graciously donated their tips and the patrons were very generous in support of the Best Fourth in the North. Over $600 was raised in two hours. Thank you to Tommy and Deanne and to Jeremy Treadway for hosting this event. Everyone had a good time and, at the same time, we raised funds for a great cause. If you missed the fun, you may get another chance to support the Best Fourth. Tommy Dedrick has suggested that we do it again and possibly include some other “celebrity” bartenders. We will be trying to schedule another event at “Bob’s TV Bar” sometime soon. Each year, the Best Fourth committee raises over $20,000 to fund the four–day event, the parade and the outstanding fireworks display. Thank you very much for your continuing support of the committee and its fundraising efforts! John Bartlett, chairman Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership

Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties have received a $1,500 grant from the International Paper Foundation. Funding from this grant will help defer the cost of publishing Literacy Volunteers’ North Country Literacy News and the annual report. Donna Wadsworth and Jane Kuhl, of the Ticonderoga mill communications staff, supported the grant.

Ticonderoga students assist sick children FBLA work at Ronald McDonald House TICONDEROGA — A group of Ticonderoga students recently spent a day helping ailing children and their families. Members of the Ticonderoga High School Future Business Leaders of America club did chores and assisted those staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington. Ronald McDonald House is a “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children seeking treatment at Vermont Children’s Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care. Students Morgan Dean, Anita Zhang and Katelin Troche along with teacher Bill Morse took part. “Ronald Mcdonald House Charities is FBLA’s main charity,” Morse said. “Often when children get sick and have to go to a hospital far from their families, parents want to be with their child every second during such a difficult time. It’s exactly these situations why there’s RMHC. They provide places where families can be together. Children can be surrounded by the irrepressible love and support of their loved ones. “Our Ticonderoga students were determined to help out for such a worthy cause and spent much of the day in the kitchen preparing several dishes with their own ingredients,” he said. “They made chocolate chip cookies, apple crisp and carrot cake.” The experience was uplifting, Morse said. “The entire FBLA club as well as the community as a whole is very proud of what the students are accomplishing,” he said. “The charity welcomed us with an open heart and we made sure to open our hearts to their worthy cause. Students were so pleased with the work they accomplished that plans are being made to go again to support RMHC in the spring with more volunteers and more to accomplish.”

Members of the Ticonderoga High School Future Business Leaders of America club recently did chores and assisted those staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington.

About 80 family members celebrated Clara Ross' 89th Christmas. The event started with singing at Lord Howe Estates and included a dinner at the Hague Fire Department and sharing of memories.

Green groups lobby state for mandatory boat inspection thom@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Five influential environmental groups are urging New York state to support a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program for vessels launched on Lake George. The leaders of these groups sent a letter advocating the program to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens. The letter calls for mandatory boat inspection and decontamination to be in place before the 2013 boating season begins, and urges financial support as well. The letter notes the proliferation of invasive species, the damage they can cause, and the ecological and economic losses that result. The letter also mentions that early preventative action is far more effective than attempting to control such species once they are introduced into the lake. To date, the state has balked at supporting an inspection and decontamination program. Some have criticized the initiative because of it would shut down lake access to anglers who seek to launch their boats before dawn or other times the inspection stations were unmanned. But late last year, Warren County leaders voted to draft a law requiring such an inspection program for all the county’s lakes, and newly elected state Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury) has cited that protection of Lake George and the area’s other waterways as one of his top legislative priorities. Once skeptical of the program, local municipalities now primarily approve of the initiative. Warren County towns bordering the lake have enacted resolutions in support of mandatory inspection and decontamination. Major businesses, too, have voiced support, based on protecting tourism and economic vitality — which historically has been due to Lake George’s reputation as one of the purest lakes in the nation. Peter Bauer, executive director of Protect the Adirondacks, noted the widespread support of the inspection program in a pre-

Environmentalists note, however, that it is far more expensive “A comprehensive control program would dramatically reto attempt to control invasives once they’re introduced rather duce the risk of further detrimental infestations on Lake George.” than prevent their introduction in the first place. Over the past two years, area municipalities have spent more than $2 million in attempts to control the fast-reproducing Asian clams which foul the waters. Lake George Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson has suggested that a special tax district — consisting of lakeside properties — be created to help bankroll the program. The letter to Cuomo and Martens cites that the Park Commission is seeking to move forward on with the mandatory program in several weeks. “Aquatic invasive species are one of the major threats facing the ecological health and economy of Lake George and the The French class of St. Mary's School went Christmas caroling in Ticonderoga this holiday season.

A Schroon Lake man was jailed after he allegedly pointed a handgun at a relative Jan. 12. David J. Mitchell, 58, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony, and misdemeanor counts of second-degree menacing and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to state police. Mitchell was charged in connection with an incident at a home in Schroon Lake in which he allegedly pointed a gun at a male relative, police said. Mitchell has a criminal record that prohibits from possessing a gun, according to police records. At least part of his criminal record stems from a 1999 incident in which he was accused of firing a rifle into a wall of his home during a domestic dispute with a woman, officials said.He was charged with six felonies in that case, and pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless endangerment. He was sentenced to six months in the county jail and five years on probation. He was arraigned and sent to Essex County Jail for lack of bail.

Scouts learn about fire safety on tour of Moriah FD By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com MORIAH — The Moriah Volunteer Fire Department’s recent meeting was put on hold for a special tour of the young ladies of the Moriah Girl Scouts. Troop 3163 visited the fire department to learn about fire safety at home. The Scouts also learned about the job of a firefighter and how they keep people safe. Chief Brian Glebus showed the scouts the fire house equipment, thermal imaging cameras that allow the fire fighters to see inside smokey rooms, the turn out gear for emergency response and did demonstrations on how the equipment is used. Glebus also showed the scouts the trucks in the department’s fleet. Troop leader Kellie Valentine said the visit to the firehouse on Jan. 8, was one of many steps the scouts must complete to earn the Bronze Award, the highest award the troop is eligible for at their age level. Valentine said her scouts are working toward earning the award by exploring their community. The scouts will continue to earn the award by learning about bike safety with lessons by Sheriff Bob Rice, and will learn about junior first aid by visiting the Moriah Ambulance Squad. “They’ve visited businesses and last year we worked on becoming more active by going on hikes, walking more and being healthier by tracking what they were eating and comparing that to healthier food choices,” Valentine said. “Today we wanted to visit the fire department to teach them about keeping yourself safe as a way to help others.” At the end of their tour, Glebus and other fire fighters presented the scouts with pink firefighter helmets.

Used phones sought for agency STOP Domestic Violence to benefit PORT HENRY — The Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union will hold its fourth annual cell phone drive in January and February. Cell phones donated at TFCU branches in Ticonderoga, Port Henry and Elizabethtown will be given to the STOP Domestic Violence Center in Essex County where they will be turned into Emergency 911 phones for domestic violence survivors. More than 300 phones have been collected through TFCU’s previous drives. “We’re honored to support this important cause in our community,” said Shawn Hayes, TFCU president and CEO. “By donating your old cell phone in this way you’re not only recycling, you may also be providing a vital lifeline to someone in need.” To participate, people can bring old cell phones, chargers and accessories in any condition from any provider and drop them in the collection bins at any of the credit union’s three branch locations — Ticonderoga, Port Henry and

Port Henry from page 1 All artists are welcome to take part, Viestenz said. “I’m looking for anyone who does jewelry, candles, oil or acrylic painting, weaving, knitting or quilting,” she said. “These are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. I think we would be open to any kind of craft or art this is made by the person.” Viestenz stressed only art will be accepted. “We aren’t opening a flea market,” she said. Besides an art gallery, the new co-op may offer art classes. “There is a space in the back of the that gallery could be used for classes,” Viestenz said.

Sometimes life passes you by, And the world changes to make you cry. Sometimes you lose the people you love, And hope they’re in a better place up above. Your heart breaks and you feel really weak, You start searching the questions and answers you seek. Life would be easy if you knew what to do, You could fix everything and stop feeling blue. When you feel lonely and remember back in the day, When you saw everyone in each and every way. You think to yourself if you saw them, what would you say, To show them how much you care or even to just say “hey”. You could search and seek but never find, That thing you need to hide behind. When that something’s missing and there’s a hole in your heart, That feeling you have because you’ll always be apart. To never see or be able to say, How much you love them each and every way. You’d give anything to have just one more day, And say “I Love You” and you’ll be ok.

20 - Times of Ti • Schroon Lake

January 19, 2013

Schroon woman returns to health, business Joan Cunningham to expand SCHROON LAKE — “I am excited about 2013,” exclaimed Joan Cunningham, creator of Joanie’s Goodies. “Last year was a roller coaster year, after finally getting back to my beloved home in Schroon Lake from a three-year stint in hospitals and rehabs, I thought the worst was behind me. In January, these ugly big blisters started showing up on my legs and tummy; after a massive dosage of steroids the blisters were finally under control; but, the steroids left me 100 pounds plus heavier. Then in March, I broke my leg, six surgeries later and 10 weeks in various hospitals, they finally got that under control. “In December, I spent a week at the National Institute of Health Human Genome program and received excellent news,” she continued. “I was chosen from thousands of applicants to be involved in NIH’s undiagnosed disease program. The leading doctors in the world tried to figure out what caused my body to turn on me and attack my body, bones, lungs and brain leaving me paralyzed from the chest down. It was an incredible trip. I was overwhelmed by the

compassion of the folks at NIH who were working on my unique case. “They gave me the best Christmas present ever when they told me that ‘Joanie’s disease is miraculously in remission’,” Cunningham said. “They were amazed that my lungs and brain were clear of any liaisons. “I told them that it’s positive thinking and as I’ve always said, ‘When life gives you lemons, just make sweet lemonwade’,” she continued. “The director of NIH, Dr. William Gahl, commented that, ‘Joanie is an extraordinary individual who lifted our spirits with her amazing resilience.’ My real hope is that if even if they can’t help me that this research will lead to help for others who suffer from other neurological diseases, like m.s or devics. “Through all of 2012, I stayed busy thinking about expanding Joanie’s Goodies and helping Schroon Lake grow,” she said. “I’ve launched Schroon Lake Events on Facebook and on the web to bring attention to our wonderful town, year round. Schroon Lake is so unique with our spectacular waterfront park, beach, bandstand and our small town Main Street and, of course, all the great people. I know that without all of my friends help and encouragement I would’ve

never survived the last four years. Schroon Lakers are great, so warm and compassionate. There isn’t anywhere else in the world I would rather be other than in Schroon Lake. “As for 2013, besides promoting Schroon Lake with new events, like Winterevent, five weeks of great winter family fun and classic concerts in the park in the summer and much, much more; I’m expanding our business year round, weekends in the winter, adding the Adirondacks best brunch, improving our healthy line of handcrafted bakery and dark chocolates, adding new stores and a barbecue on the patio in the summer and fall,” Cunningham said. “I’m looking forward to helping Joanie kick off the Winterevent, with the snow sculpture contest that will be fun for kids of all ages,” commented Jessica Potter, co-chairwoman of the Winterevent. “Anyone who would like to enter the contest that will award over $700 in prizes should contact us.” Joanie’s Goodies is open Saturday and Sunday (And Monday Holidays) during the winter from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information:contact us @Schroonlakeevents/facebook.com or call 532-9900.

County health officials warn about flu season By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — As New York state continues to deal with a flu outbreak, Essex County Public Health officials said they are ready to help with vaccinations and medical assistance. “All hospitals in Essex County are showing a higherthan-average number of visits for the chief complaint of respiratory and fever symptoms,” Sue Allott said during the Jan. 14 Human Services Committee meeting. “Pharmacies are recording above-average sales of influenzarelated medications. Gov. Cuomo declared the state a disaster emergency because of the numbers of the flu.” Allott said that the county does have a strong supply of flu vaccinations, and more were on the way, adding that she was not concerned that there could be a shortage of vaccinations. “We are not hearing the term shortage,” she said. “I do not see that we are going to be where we were in 2005 when there was a shortage of vaccines.” Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell asked about those who feel they do not need a flu shot or feel that the shot may make them sick. “The flu that you get will be milder symptoms, fewer hospitalizations, fewer days missed from work,” Allott said. “You cannot get the flu from a flu shot.” Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee added that flu vaccinations are also available to veterans at both the Westport and Saranac Lake VA Clinics.

Letting the cat out of the bag

astern cougars were listed as Endangered Species in 1973, however in March 2011, the US Fish and Wildlife Service announced a change of status for the big cats when agency biologists requested cougars be removed from the Endangered Species list. However, the request was not celebrated as a success, since the change meant eastern cougar was officially declared extinct. Although stories continued to circulate about cougars lurking about the Great North Woods, it was expected the official USF&W announcement would finally put an end to such unsubstantiated reports. Eventually, even the few remaining cats were eventually deemed ghosts when DNA analysis revealed the eastern cougar subspecies had actually been extinct in 1938, when the last wild cougar was taken in Maine. Apparently, the announcement made it safe for people to again travel into the deeps woods. Safe travel was all but assured until an unusual event occurred in the winter of 2010, when a lone, male cougar established a den in the Adirondack mountains, near Bolton Landing, NY. Coincidently, the big cat's den happened to be located in the backyard of a retired NYS Environmental Conservation Officer, who promptly notified the department’s biologists of his find. A decision was made to keep the entire incident under wraps, especially after the department had labeled a recent rash of cougar sightings as unsubstantiated. Although scat and hair samples were eventually collected, the department made no attempt to place a radio collar on the animal. In fact, the department did not even acknowledge the presence of the cougar in their former employee’s backyard, since they certainly didn’t want visitors or sightseers snooping around and disturbing the animal. In the spring of 2011, the young, lonely, love sick lion left its den to continue the search for a mate. Finally, after journeying

over 1,500 miles from the Black Hills of South Dakota, the story came to a tragic conclusion on the Wilbur Cross Parkway near Greenwich, Connecticut, when the long tailed cat was hit by a car and killed, on June 11, 2011. The incident continued to fuel further tales and it posed many questions. Although cougars were supposedly extirpated from the region by the late 1800’s, was this lone male specimen the only cougar that wandered through the Adirondacks over the last century? The answer is, “Not very likely!” Especially if the question is posed to any of the many sportsman, hikers, skiers, paddlers and others who frequent the region’s vast backcountry. Whether the question is posed in a local barroom, at the Post Office or at a Board Meeting, the mention of mountain lions will always get the stories flying. However, most of the biologists I’ve spoken with rank the odds of cougars establishing a naturally occurring breeding population in the Adirondacks to be about as likely as finding a Big Foot anywhere north of Fort Ann. While rumors of big cats continue to thrive, the most commonly circulated conspiracy theory generally involves “an unknown environmental advocacy group from out of the state that has secretly been releasing cougars across the park with DEC’s approval. “ In order to spice things up a bit, the story occasionally includes details about the secretly released cougars being outfitted with radio collars, the possession of which brings serious penalties. The stories range somewhere between The Twilight Zone and The X Files on the scale of believability. They are simply too far fetched even for an old angler who’s prone to exaggeration. While such tales of secret releases and radio collars are widely recognized as a hoax, a recent press release from the West Virginia based, Cougar Rewilding Foundation appears to blur the line between fact and fiction, especially since it comes from an ‘out of state, environmental advocacy group.” The press release, which details research conducted by ecologist Dr. John Laundré’, a professor at SUNY Oswego is titled The Feasibility of the Northeastern USA Supporting the Return of Cougars. The study concludes that the Adirondack region is capable of supporting an estimated 150 to 350 wild cougars. Thirty years ago everyone thought cougars needed to live in the most remote places," explains Laundré in the release. “But they’ve demonstrated that they are as adaptable as coyotes." Laundre’s research disputes a 1981 study that was conducted in the Adirondacks by SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry emeritus biologist, Dr. Rainer Brocke. Dr. Brocke headed up a similar restoration effort in the 1980’s. However, study determined that the density of both paved and dirt roads in the re-

Ooutdoor • Times of Ti - 23 gion would combine to thwart efforts to restock cougars in the Park. Dr. Brocke explained, “I was thinking of restoring cougars to the Adirondacks in 1983. The problem is they just can’t survive the proximity of homes, cars, and roads, the noise! He continued, “It just ain’t going to happen, the road density in the region makes it unfeasible, we would have fatal conflicts. It isn’t just the roads, it is the access they provide and the danger of vehicles and hunters.” Brocke has solid, hands-on experience with such restoration efforts. He was responsible for similar efforts to reintroduce lynx to the region over two decades ago. Researchers conducting similar studies of road density to determine a threshold for the feasibility of restoring wolves in Minnesota discovered a density of .96 miles of road per square mile of land were the absolute minimum standard. According to GIS data, the density of paved roads in the Adirondacks currently falls within this range. However, the data does not include many additional miles of private roads, dirt roads and seasonal use, or logging roads. Brocke explained that Dr. Laundre’s study is based on western lands, which he believes are not comparable to eastern standards. “You must understand the difference between eastern and western cougars is quite pronounced” Dr. Brocke revealed, “In the west, the animals can range on large blocks of land, which separate the towns. In the east, we have a fine grained landscape, with a density of roads. The Adirondacks are not a real wilderness; you can’t fly over it for five minutes and not see roads, and cars and groups of people. The western part of this country is just so much bigger.” He continued to elaborate, “Cougar don’t care about scenery, or wilderness, they just want deer and they would likely move out of the Adirondacks to where the food is, on the periphery of the Park. Cougar are lone animals and they will keep wandering until they get to the edge of the range of another animal. They establish their territory against the range of another animal.” Despite the obvious differences of opinion among researchers, Christopher Spatz, Executive Director of the Cougar Rewilding Foundation explained the organization’s primary objective. “Our mission is to facilitate the recovery of cougar in suitable wild habitat east of the Rocky Mountains, and to promote the recovery of breeding populations through natural recolonization and mandated restorations in the central, southeastern and eastern United States. We also advocate for the responsible management of habitats where cougars are recovering.” “I think it would be really exciting to restore these big cats to their historic habitat, to make it whole again. Cougar are a missing piece of the puzzle, and I believe there is wide support for predator recovery. We’d like to talk about restoring the entire ecosystem, not just the cougar, we want all of the fauna and we need to engage all stakeholders in the process.” For current information on the status of cougars in New York visit the department’s website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/44564.html Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.
