Mineville plant earns major certification Pre-Tech gets top rating By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com

Wildcats still unbeaten in MVAC.

The Ticonderoga home of John Scuderi was destroyed by fire Jan. 19. Firefighters from Ticonderoga, Chilson, Hague, Putnam, Crown Point and Port Henry responded and stayed on scene more than six hours as strong winds hampered their efforts. The Ticonderoga Emergency Squad was also at the scene and was needed to assist three injured firefighters. All three were treated at Moses Ludington Hospital and released. See story, photo inside.

MINEVILLE — Pre-Tech Precision Machining keeps a low-profile. “I’m not sure how many people even know we’re here,” said Jim Kahler, manager of PreTech’s Mineville production facility. “I think people would be surprised to learn what we do.”

Pre-Tech may be a well-kept secret locally, but it’s known to people in the aerospace industry. The local shop recently received coveted AS9100C certification. AS9100C is the quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace industry awarded by the Online Aerospace Supplier Information System. The certification places Pre-Tech among the best in the Aerospace and Defense Quality Management System International Standard. “It’s great news,” Kahler said. “It’s confirmation that we’re doing things the right way.”

The certification may also be key to future expansion of the Pre-Tech Mineville facility. “We hope this will allow us to branch out to new customers,” Kahler said. “There are companies that won’t deal with you without the AS9100C. The first thing they ask is if you are certified. “We’re doing well here, we stay busy,” the manager continued, “but we’d like to get more business and expand in the future.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

TICONDEROGA — A natural food co-op in Ticonderoga could be successful. That’s the result of a study conducted by a Minnesota consultant. “According to the market study, the population size, including seasonal residents, and demographic composition of the market area, as well as the weak competitive environment with respect to other natural and organic food stores, combined with the experiences of other natural food co-ops in similar market situations, it appears that there is sufficient sales potential to support a co-op food store,” said Sharon Reynolds, executive director of PRIDE. Ticonderoga officials turned their attention to the possible creation of a food co-op after failing to generate interest from large grocery chains in locating in the community. “We’re more apt to get a

Join Us...

our towns with thriving downtown businesses, college students in the cafes, lots of fresh food in the grocery co-op, bustling restaurants year-round, and good employment prospects.

in the potential of our community. The Ticonderoga Area has the opportunity to become the hub of the Southeastern Adirondacks – for business, culture, education, and medicine. TRA and YOU are the keys to making it happen with a host of new initiatives designed to link all the right partners with the ability to get results. We are making the dream a reality.

We are the partners of Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and we invite you to join us to help guide the growth and future of the Ticonderoga Area. Everyone has a contribution to make, a role to play. We need your ideas, time, and talents – whatever they may be. Together we are powerful.

Workforce Readiness

TRA is leading a partnership between our schools, TACC, and the North Country Workforce Investment Board (NCWIB) to provide the National Workforce Readiness Certiﬁcate to area employees. The NWRC tells employers that you are ready to work and have the skills to be a good employee. Local and nationwide employers give preferred treatment to applicants with NWR certiﬁcation.

John McDonald, Superintendent, Ticonderoga Central Schools, E.J.Siwek, Executve Director/CEO TRA Steering Board Member North Country Workforce Investment Board/ North Country Workforce Partnership (NCWIB) , TRA Steering Board Member “The North Country Workforce Investment Board (NCWIB) collaborates with Champlain Valley Educatonal Services (CV-Tech) and the Development Corporaton to deliver the National Workforce Readiness Credential. The talents brought to the table by TRA have enabled us to bring this important program to southern Essex County. The NCWIB team will continue to work with TRA to strengthen our local workforce.”

Uniting Education & Business TRA has brought together North Country Community College with area employers and investors to create new initiatives that expand the college. New curriculum is speciﬁcally targeted to prepare graduates for good paying local jobs. PLUS new student housing in downtown Ticonderoga will allow NCCC to expand the student body, and bring new life to downtown Ti.

Matt Courtright, Executive Director, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC), Beth Hill, President & CEO, Fort Ticonderoga, TRA Steering Board Member TRA Steering Board Member

“The Ticonderoga Central School is proud to work with TRA members and the community as a whole to provide a unique program to our students by offering every graduate the opportunity to obtain the National Work Readiness Certiﬁcate starting in September 2013. We believe this program will not only better prepare our graduates to be career and college ready, but also provide our community with a skilled labor force that can support local business and attract others in the future.”

Dr. Steve Tyrell, President, North Country Community College, TRA Steering Board Member “TRA brings key stakeholders to the table to work towards improving economic development in the community. North Country Community College is proud to be part of TRA’s efforts to revitalize the downtown area with student housing in the Fall of 2013. The level of collaboraton between municipal leaders, educators from all sectors, private investors, and community leaders creates the perfect storm for acceleratng prosperity in the region.” Jim Major, Local Businessman/Investor, TRA Chairman of the Board “A year ago we could never have put together this project with NCCC for downtown student housing. But through our TRA partnership, its becoming a reality. Combining this project with the curriculum adjustments to support local employers is going to make a big difference to the residents of our area over the next few years.”

“The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce continues to work hard to serve, market and promote the Ticonderoga Area, our businesses, and our citizens through many avenues and tools. One of our recent focuses has been on Customer Service and Hospitality Training, and the NWRC dovetails nicely with that program. Working together and building new partnerships is part of our strategic plan as together we move the Chamber, the community and the entire area into the future.”

The very vibrancy of our community rests on the quality of life we create for ourselves here in the beautiful North Country. TRA serves to unite the rich historic, artistic, and cultural resources of the Ticonderoga Area and works to connect the community and explore ways to share our culture with visitors.

Quality of Life

Mariann Rapple, New Ticonderoga Resident, Deb Malaney, Supervisor, Town of Ticonderoga, Sharon Reynolds, Director, Ticonderoga PRIDE, David Kisselback, Executve Director, Silver Bay TRA Gallery Manager and Steering Board Member Ex-Officio TRA Board Member TRA Steering Board Member YMCA, TRA Steering Board Member “TRA has been so welcoming for me. I feel like there is a lot of energy and excitement about the gallery and what it could be. All the participants have been really responsive and I think that it will be a great asset for both the artists and visitors to have another quality gallery to visit in Ticonderoga.”

Chip Holmes, CEO, Inter-Lakes Health “Inter-Lakes Health is working with the Ti School District, NCCC, and the Univ. of Vermont to support the growth of the next generation of care givers. With programs like the ILH MASH Camp which affords local high school students insight into healthcare career opportunities plus the efforts of the TRA to bring together regional and community leaders to focus on workforce readiness, we are all working to ensure that we will have the right care givers in place to deliver health care in the 21st Century.”

Chris Mallon, Manager, Internatonal Paper, Ticonderoga Mill “The work that TRA is doing to link education and business is very important to Internatonal Paper’s Ticonderoga mill. A strong work readiness curriculum with a focus on communication, math and computer skills is highly important as we look to ﬁll positons at the mill. Partnerships with North Country Community College in developing technical courses and curriculum can help provide a skilled workforce to meet our future needs. In short, TRA’s leadership in connecting education and business is important to the success of the Ticonderoga mill.”

www.ti-alliance.org

“TRA is committed to our community’s economic prosperity, and is leading an important workforce development initiative between the regional schools and local businesses. A better trained and competent workforce will foster a business-friendly culture that enhances the experience of visitors to the Fort and throughout the region who engage business employees through tourism and hospitality.”

“I think the Cultural Arts Initiative is one of the most exciting groups formed as a result of the Ti Alliance. Once again, many people came forward to volunteer to address the cultural needs of the community. We can look forward to many arts and cultural activities planned in the upcoming years.”

“From taking care of our neighborhoods by assistng homeowners with costly repairs, to community development projects such as the LaChute River Trail, the 18th Century French Sawmill and the proposed food co-op, PRIDE works in concert with our Ticonderoga partners to enhance the quality of life for our residents and visitors”.

“I feel that TRA is one of the best things to happen to Ticonderoga. They are helping businesses, collaborating with North Country Community College, and bringing the community together. We have seen this ﬁrsthand at the new YMCA Teen Center and in the way the community has become involved it making sure that the youth of the community have a safe and fun place to go.”

New Business Opportunities TRA is working to identify and prioritize the types of businesses that would be successful in our area and to create some very attractive incentives for starting these businesses in our community. The opportunities range from service and medical businesses, to recreation and tourism, and even high-tech start-ups. Donna Wotton, Owner, Unconventional Promotions TRA Board Member

Peter Reale, Vice President Reale Construction, Shana Macey, President, Bridge Point Communicaton, TRA Board Member TRA Board Member

“Our new broadband pipe from Bridge Point Communication was essential in opening up this new market for us. There’s a world of web-based businesses out there that can now locate inside the Adirondack Park. And with Global Foundries just down the road and 8 major technical universities within 200 miles of us, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to attract some high-tech start-ups to Ticonderoga.”

“My family owns some commercial spaces that are sitting empty right now. TRA asked us to put them into the “pool” of spaces that could host new businesses. I immediately said yes – it’s a great way to stimulate the local economy, AND it’s a total win for us if we have a rent-paying tenant a year from now. That’s what I love about TRA. Not only are there so many great ideas, but together we are really able to make things happen.”

TRA Board of Directors

“Bringing broadband and competitive local and long distance telephone services to the Ticonderoga area supports both economic sustainability as well as growth. As a local business we understand the challenges of the rural economy and are excited to be a part of the key players that TRA has brought together to enhance our area’s economic future.”

Karen Stehlin, North Country Small Business Development Center, TRA Steering Board Member “We’ve been working with TACC for a while, but the addition of the Ti-Alliance to the team is giving us even greater outreach within Essex County. Our ofﬁce helps people start and manage small businesses. We’re excited to partcipate in the TRA business incubation program and help to build the area’s economy.”

Burst pipe halts zumba program in Ticonderoga Best Western making repairs By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A broken water pipe has suspended zumba lessons at the Ticonderoga Best Western Inn. A frozen pipe in the hotel’s banquet room burst Jan. 12, flooding the banquet room and lobby area. The pipe has been repaired, but damaged carpet, a wall and other items are still being replaced. Zumba and several other events scheduled for the banquet room have been canceled. “We’re hopeful we can have zumba resume shortly, but we

don’t have an exact date,” said Kortney Kraft, food and beverage director. “We haven’t canceled any of our February events, so we’re hopeful everything is back in place by then.” Zumba lessons have been held in the Best Western banquet room on Monday nights since last November. “We’ve had a lot of people show up and ask where zumba is,” Kraft said. “It’s very popular and we’re anxious to have it return. Right now, though, things are kind of up in the air.” The remainder of the hotel and its restaurant, The Burgoyne Grill, are unaffected by the water damage. The Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn & Suites, located at 260 Burgoyne Road, includes 54 guest rooms and 14 suites along with a restaurant, lounge, indoor pool, hot tub, fitness

center, laundry, business center, conference rooms and banquet facilities. Zumba classes are normally taught on Mondays at 6 p.m. by Amanda Wilson at the Best Western. The cost is $5 a session and can be paid that night. “We’re hopeful zumba can resume by mid-February,” said Allison Kaupelis, director of sales & marketing at Best Western. Zumba is a dance and aerobic fitness program. It incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts and some Bollywood and belly dance moves. An estimated 14 million people take weekly zumba classes worldwide.

Crammond scholarship presented, Ben Karkoski wins award By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ben Karkoski has received the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship. The $1,000 award was recently presented to Karkoski, who just completed his first semester at SUNY-Potsdam. The scholarship is presented each year by the LaChute Road Runners Club to a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track & field who attends college full-time. The winner, selected by a scholarship committee, is a person who reflects the strong academic, athletic and character traits of Crammond. The award is contingent on the successful completion of the fall college semester. Karkoski, an engineering and math major, earned a place on the Potsdam president’s list this fall. “It means a lot to receive this scholarship,” Karkoski said. “I remember Duane and how much he meant to my father and others. It was cool to have him around.” Crammond died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24. “It was my first real experience with death,” Karkoski said of Crammond’s passing. “I re-

member when my father got the phone call Duane had passed away. It was a very sad time.” Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the college’s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPI’s indoor and outdoor track teams. After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local race races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake. Jim Cunningham, treasurer of the LaChute Road Runners, said the club is pleased to award the scholarship to Karkoski. “It’s a great honor and privilege, on behalf of the club, to present Ben with this $1,000 scholarship,” Cunningham said. “He’s certainly earned it. He’s worked very hard at Potsdam and been very successful. He’s to be complimented for his hard work.” GREAT “RESULTS” IN THE FIRST 4 TO 6 WEEKS...

What we didn’t need, however, was a governor preying on people’s emotions to push his agenda and further his political calling in the next presidential election. And what we got was the latter. What we got was a so-called “assault weapons” ban that overnight turned hundreds of thousands of law abiding, taxpaying gun owners into criminals. How does turning law abiding citizens into criminals help fight crime? What we got were subjective mental health provisions that will most likely scare people in need away from seeking help for fear their hunting rifles will be confiscated. What we got was an intrusive ammunition tracking program that will have Big Brother closing in on the local 4-H shooting program because of the number of .22 rounds they expend in a weekend. What we got was, in a word, ridiculous. This law will do little to stop the type of mass shootings that prompted the legislation in the first place. What it will do is allow president-elect Andrew Cuomo to stand at a podium in 2016 and tell the nation that he worked tirelessly to enact the “the toughest gun control law in the country.” That’s what this is really about. But at what expense? At the expense of law abiding hunters, target shooters and other gun enthusiasts — a parting gift from Gov. Cuomo prior to leaving for Washington D.C. For those who have not read it — like half the legislators in Albany who were not afforded the time — the law redefines “assault weapons” as any semiautomatic rifle with a detachable clip and one “military style” feature. Those features run the gamut from a flash suppressor to a pistol grip to a thumb hole stock to a bayonet mount. Essentially anything that makes the gun look “military-like” or ominous in the eyes of a downstate politician. Drop the pistol grip and flash suppressor

from an AR15 and, voila, it’s no longer an assault weapon — perfectly legal under the governor’s law. Don’t you think gun manufacturers might take that into consideration? Meanwhile, thumbhole stocks are pretty popular on many types of muzzleloaders and are used by shooting clubs to help steady aim. Biathletes use modified .22 caliber rifles with pistol grip stocks and detachable clips (that hold 8 bullets, by the way). Who would have thought all along that these were “assault weapons”? Interestingly, Saratoga Assemblyman James Tedisco, in his address to the Assembly prior to the vote, noted that more murders were committed in New York last year with blunt objects like hammers and rocks than the type of weapons banned by the new “assault weapons” law. Out of 769 homicides in New York last year, only five were caused by the type of rifles banned by the new law, while 31 were caused by blunt objects. Another 161 were committed with knives. So, what exactly have we accomplished here? Legislators would have made a bigger impact on crime by banning rocks larger than a quarter and forcing the registration of kitchen knives and claw hammers. The law gives citizens one year to register any “assault weapon” they may have in their home or they become non-law abiding citizens. Get caught with one unregistered and it is a Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail. Do we really want to fill our jails with these people? I am sure police agencies are loving the thought of enforcing this one. Then, the law forces these same gun owners to recertify registered guns as well as pistol permits every five years and there is sure to be a fee attached to doing so. Have any type of run-in with the law, even a misdemeanor, and the state can then confiscate your guns and deny your recertifications. What we needed was to come together as a society and rationally discuss preventative measures that might stop these atrocities. What we got was a law rushed through in the 11th hour that is more about protecting the destiny of politicians than people. —Denton Publications Editorial Board

Guest Viewpoint Creating a College Culture Nationwide: Big Vision in a Small Town By Rick Dalton

magine this: You’re a 16-year-old high school student scraping by with a C average. Your parents never went to college and it’s the last thing on the minds of the kids you spend most of your time with. But then you decide to pursue a degree - and figure out how to raise your GPA, find financial aid, and get accepted to the institution that’s just right for you. If you’re a low-income student from rural America, sadly, you need to beat the odds to realize that dream. Only 27 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds from rural areas enroll in higher education, and nationally only 11 percent of students from the families in the bottom economic quartile graduate from four-year colleges. As the head of an organization that has worked with more than 40,000 rural students, I recognize that low achievement and high college costs are part of the problem. But there’s another challenge that gets far less attention: Too many students from rural communities never develop the aspiration to go to college. Case in point: Five years ago John Pollock of Willsboro, New York was a mediocre student who hadn’t even considered higher education. When a teacher encouraged him to buckle down academically and think about college he faced ridicule from peers who told him it was a waste of time. Fortunately a mentor convinced him to press on, with daily urgings to study, weekly reminders to sign up for the ACT and SAT, and extensive hands-on help in finding financial aid. Today John is a college junior with a 3.62 GPA. He’s proud of what he has accomplished but asserts “there’s no way I could have done this without lots of help from other people. My mentor pushed and pushed me to do better – to stop settling for average and raise my own standards.” John was lucky. He received guidance that’s accepted as a given among students in affluent communities – but with an interesting twist. Over the course of several months he learned about his potential to influence others. He did this through service activities to improve his school and community, through participation at a national conference to foster his own leadership potential, and with constant encourage-

ment to share his aspirations with other students in the Willsboro community. These activities were integral to his involvement in College for Every Student (CFES). All of the students we mentor are expected to mentor others. All get hands-on help to improve their grades and apply for college. And all have opportunities to develop the discipline and leadership skills that help them succeed once they get there. Thanks to thousands of volunteers and partnerships with 200 PreK-12 schools and 210 colleges, we work with 20,000 students in 24 states. But some of our most important activities will now take place in Essex, a town of 600 people in upstate New York. Through our CFES Center, space to conduct trainings and workshops, in Essex, we expect to involve, virtually and in-person, thousands of students, families and K-16 educators in experiences that bridge gaps in aspirations and achievement for low-income students nationwide. In fact, our new space will allow CFES to double the number of students we serve by 2020. While the futures of our students will continue to be the top priority, we intend to have an echo effect in the greater Adirondack region. Our center will bring 15 jobs to the area, and our workshops will bring hundreds of young people, educators and community leaders to the town of Essex each year. With support from our staff, we will help parents, families and community leaders to embrace their role in promoting the value of college. We want younger children to follow in the footsteps of their older, college-bound siblings. And we want the residents of Essex and neighboring communities to become part of a college-going culture throughout the region. Think I’m dreaming? Then talk to John Pollock. A few months into his own college journey, he reached back to two longtime friends who had dropped out of college and convinced them to give it another try. His “if I can do it, you can too” attitude paid big dividends. Today they room together at SUNY Canton. They all have GPAs above 3.6. They’re all on track to graduate and get good jobs. And together they offer a great example of what can happen when aspirations are instilled and fulfilled. Rick Dalton is President and CEO of College for Every Student.

Letters to the Editor

Squad pleased with 2012 To the Times of Ti: We just wanted to take some time to share a little bit about our organization and highlight some things from 2012. This past year we were busy and responded to 540 emergency calls. This is a record for our department. Most of our calls seem to occur during the daytime between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., when many of our volunteers work. However, our volunteers overcame all of these obstacles and did an outstanding job this past year. Each of our responders took anywhere from 10 to 200 calls where each call averages an hour. We had five individuals take a Certified First Responder Course, which is approximately 60 hours, two individuals who took an EMT basic course, which is approximately 190 hours, and one individual who is currently taking the advanced EMT critical care course, which is well over 300 hours. Most of our members also took several hours of continuing education courses, many of which are offered out of the area. Our department as a whole has put in thousands of hours to help our community. This is truly remarkable considering we are all volunteer. Financially, we rely on the billing of our patients to keep operating costs down as with many ambulance squads. We also receive funding from the town of Putnam and by donations. We do not receive funding from the town of Ticonderoga. Many people do not understand all the costs that are involved with operating an ambulance squad. Billings from patients only cover a small portion of these operating costs. Therefore, many ambulance squads in the county receive funding from the towns they cover to off set remaining costs. All in all, we were able to keep costs down as much as possible and still provide the best care to our patients. Looking ahead, our anticipated expenditures that we budgeted for in 2013 are $130,000. However, we anticipate there will be some unplanned expenses. Overall, this past year has proved to be one of the best as we welcomed several new members to our family and even moved into a new home. Our new facility offers our members training close to home, a quiet place to study, and even a place to get together and have lunch. For our community we were able to offer a place to hold meetings and CPR training. Looking to 2013, we hope it is equally as good as 2012. We are very appreciative of everyone who made 2012 successful and hope it continues into the New Year. We are always looking for volunteers.

Gun legislation helps To the Times of Ti: We the People In 1791 when our Bill of Rights including the Second Amendment, “Right to Bear Arms,” was adopted the population of our country was around 3.9 million, 222 years later in 2013 our population now stands at over 312 million. With such a precipitous increase in population and population density it only stands to reason that even a document as unique and enduring as our constitution must be subject to change and I can’t help but think that this was also the long term intention of its creators. There have been various acts, laws and bans relating to firearms that have been put into place since 1934. A number of these pieces of legislation have resulted in shifts that have been quite positive. I will highlight just a few. Take for instance the Machine Gun Ban voted into law in 1986 by Ronald Regan. Is anyone today arguing about the right to bear machine guns? Look at the impact of the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act, introduced by our own Charles E Schumer and signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993. As a consequence of this law, the FBI formed the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and in cooperation with the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives (ATF) ran 107 million background checks on people attempting to buy handguns between 1994 and 2009. These background checks resulted in 1.9 million denials to purchase guns. In 2008, 69 percent of the denials were felons and fugitives from the law. In 2009 64 percent of the denials were felons and fugitives from the law. Keeping all these handguns out of the hands of felons and fugitives certainly does seem like a pretty good consequence to me. Next, let’s look at Federal Assault Weapon Ban (AWB), put into place for 10 years from 1994 to 2004. During just four years from 1990 to 1994 the ATF determined that there were a total of 1.4 million guns involved in crime. Prior to AWB 11.82 percent of these weapons were of the type included in the ban. After AWB this percentage dropped to 1.61 percent. Once again the AWB proved to be a piece of firearms legislation that did, in fact, produce positive results. Have all the many legislative laws governing firearms solved our “gun violence” problem? No, obviously they have not, but when you look at the facts it cannot be denied that they have at least helped. Of course, there will always be an extensive panels of “experts” that will testify before the public that for instance, tobacco and smoking do not cause cancer or that burning vast quantities of fossil fuels could not possibly lead to global warming and massive species extinctions, or that a few million people owning firearms with 30 shot clips designed to kill people isn’t really a part of the problem.

To the Times of Ti: The letter from Lorraine Kovarovic of Schroon Lake asks why do responsible gun owners get more laws? No one can argue that criminals that use guns should be treated harshly by our legal system! This being said I would like to know why a background check of any honest person would violate their rights as defined in the Second Amendment! Ms. Kovarovic also asks why is there no outcry when people are killed by drunk drivers, or blunt objects such as baseball bats or tire irons! I have to ask where has she been as there has certainly been outcries about these types of deaths! Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) has been responsible for making law enforcement more vigilant against people who would harm others by driving drunk and crimes involving weapons are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! She goes on to say “Before you ask for our guns let me ask you to take a breath and think!” I have to ask who is asking her or anyone else for his or her guns? I own four pistols, four rifles and three shotguns! With this I also own a collection of antique firearms! I have had a Concealed Carry Permit for 50 years and had to undergo a complete background check! I fail to understand why a responsible gun owner would object to this! Even the fools at the NRA want people with mental problems as well as those with criminal backgrounds to be stopped from getting their hands on guns! It is unfortunate that there is an element in our society that wants to arm themselves with assault weapons because they are insecure! As a sportsman and a hunter I have no need for anything resembling an assault weapon or a gun with a high capacity magazine! Assault type weapons belong in the hands of those in our military and law enforcement! I can assure Ms. Kovarovic there is an outcry from men and women all across this country and the children who died at Newtown, Conn., will be remembered! The sad note is that it took the lives of these innocents to wake the American public! The New York State governor and legislature are to be commended for doing the responsible thing and passing laws that don’t take any liberties away from responsible gun owners! Those who grew up in the North Country can still look forward to hunting and possessing their favorite handguns, rifles and shotguns under these new laws! Background checks on everyone will help us to weed out those who should not be in procession of any kind of weapon! Yes, Lorraine, there will still be a deranged person out there who will unfortunately kill, but just like the coming of a new day we can’t stop it! What we can do is make it brighter by trying to make our world a safer place for everyone! Gary P. Guido Ticonderoga

communicate seamlessly with each other,” Phelps explained. The Chilson fire department will receive some equipment from Essex County, but will need at least $16,000 of its own funds for additional radios, conversions and installations. “That’s why the Chilson department is issuing a special plea to supporters in the Chilson and Ticonderoga communities to help it meet the challenge,” Phelps said. “As we learned on 9/11, and locally in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Irene, effective communications are essential to saving lives and property. That’s as true here in Ticonderoga as it is everywhere throughout the country.” Tickets for the dinner dance are now on sale for $15. Interested people can call Larry Lauman at 5859133 to purchase tickets or for more information.

Nutrition lesson based on song, dance at St. Mary’s er nutrition. With songs like “Junk Food Man” and “Try New Foods,” the album is a Parents Choice Approved Award Winner. Mankita presented his program to St. Mary’s students, asking them to join in the songs and dance about the gym. It was fun, but the point was serious — good nutrition leads to good health. “This is part of our wellness curriculum,” Ellie Berube, St. Mary’s physical education teacher, explained. “We want our children to understand the importance of eating a healthy diet. Healthy food can still be good.” And fun, if you believe Mankita. Mankita is a Massachusetts-based songwriter, guitarist and recording artist. He writes songs for children about animals, ecology and healthy food and performs at schools, libraries, fairs and festivals. He also performs for adults, singing about life, love, baseball, dogs and social justice. He has performed with well-known artists such as Pete Seeger, David Bromberg, Leon Russell, Tom Paxton,

Paul Winter and others. St. Mary’s students were particularly impressed by Mankita’s van, which is fueled by recycled vegetable oil. “It smells like French fries when I drive,” he told students. “That’s really cool.” The St. Mary’s School performance was made possible by a grant from Fidelis Care to the Diocese of Ogdensburg. Fidelis Care is a non-profit, faith-based health plan that provides coverage through New York State’s Child Health Plus, Family Health Plus and Medicaid programs. It also offers a Medicare Advantage program, featuring no monthly premium and the freedom to choose doctors and hospitals. The firm does not sell commercial coverage, but reaches out solely to the poor and medically under-served. Fidelis has given the Catholic schools of the Diocese of Ogdensburg a $32,000 grant to purchase materials and implement wellness programs.

Jay Mankita recently taught proper nutrition to St. Mary’s School students in Ticonderoga by presenting a concert.

St. Mary’s School hosts program By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Aidan Ross never knew good nutrition could be so much fun. “I liked it,” the first grade student said following a presentation by Jay Mankita at St. Mary’s School in Ticonderoga recently. “We have to eat like a rainbow.” That’s right, we should all “eat like a rainbow.” That phrase is the title of an album by Mankita that teaches lessons about prop-

Ticonderoga from page 1 co-op type store than a chain grocery store,” Ti Supervisor Deb Malaney said. “This will allow us to see what our options are.” A food cooperative or food co-op is a grocery store owned, organized and operated by members. Since decisions about how to run a cooperative are not made by outside shareholders, cooperatives often exhibit a high degree of social responsibility with an emphasis on local, natural foods. PRIDE hired CDS Consulting Co-op from Minnesota to do the study, which was completed in December. The study was funded by a Quality Communities Grant submitted by the town of Ticonderoga. The study included a sales forecast analysis and an evaluation of proposed sites. In presenting the study results, CDS offered a financial outlook followed by a training session for people interested in possibly forming a grocery co-op. “The study of the Ticonderoga market area has resulted in a number of findings and conclusions regarding the proposed co-op food store,” Reynolds said. “Among the findings was the definition of the trade area and the population within the trade area, a summary of the demographic composition and a review of the competitive environment that current exists.” At one time Ticonderoga had three grocery stores. It now has one, Wal-Mart. “It is worthwhile to note that, based on anecdotal information from the management of other existing food co-ops, the presence of a large, conventional grocery store adjacent to a co-op food store can be beneficial particularly for smaller-sized co-op food stores,” Reynolds said. “For example, Wal-Mart Supercenter can create some beneficial synergy with the co-op by attracting more food store shoppers into the co-op’s vicinity, and by allowing co-op shoppers to supplement their weekly grocery purchases at the conventional grocery store.” The study indicated good management will be key to a successful co-op. “It was clear that management of a member-owner food co-op is a major requirement for success,” Reynolds said. A grocery co-op can take as long as three years to become operational, the study noted. “This is due to the fact that co-ops are a true grassroots effort, are community-based and depend on individuals to be the organizers and planners,” Malaney said. “In an effort to keep the conversation going and to learn more about how to bring a natural food store to the area, we are asking for residents of Ticonderoga and the surrounding communities who are interested in knowing more about food co-ops and who want to be involved in the research and planning to contact Sharon Reynolds,” she said. Reynolds can be reached via Email at sreynolds@prideofticonderoga.org or phone at 5856366 ext. 103. “The idea is for everyone to meet and to learn about cooperatives and how they function in a community,” Reynolds said. “This would be a grassroots effort like no other and we need energetic individuals who are passionate about access to fresh, local, organic and healthy food. We are planning to invite the general manager from the Middlebury co-op to talk with us about his start-up experience. “We also may have an opportunity to work with Assistant Professor at the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh Curt Gervich, Ph.D., and his class in environment management for further research into the feasibility or alternatives to a coop food store in Ticonderoga,” she said. Malaney hopes a Ticonderoga co-op can be similar to the Middlebury Natural Foods Cooperative. That store is open seven days a week 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Operated by a board of directors elected by membership, the Middlebury co-op emphasizes healthy foods, making a positive impact on the local economy and stresses environmentally sustainable and energy efficient practices. The Middlebury Natural Foods Cooperative began in the early 1970s as a pre-order buying club. Its purpose was to provide members with wholesome, natural foods that were not available elsewhere. To maximize savings, members bought in bulk and packaged the food themselves. During the last 40 years, the co-op has expanded several times to include a storefront operation that is open to members and the public. It includes a prepared foods section and deli with indoor and outdoor seating. 40515

January 26, 2013 The Port Henry Fire Department recently hosted a state fire training class. Taking part were, front from left, Schyler Sheldon of Port Henry Fire, Christopher Keller of North Hudson, Jeff Greenough of Moriah, Jared Whitley of Schroon Lake, Phil Armstrong of Schroon Lake, Tyler Tucker of Putnam, Gareth Moses of North Hudson; back, Patrick Tromblee, New York State Fire Instructor, Gary Badore Jr. of Port Henry, Judson Zelinski of MinevilleWitherbee , Mark Fleury Jr. of Moriah and Ryan Rogers of Moriah.

Mineville from page 1 Established in 1985, Pre-Tech is headquartered in Williston, Vt. It opened a production plant in the Moriah Industrial Park in Mineville in 1998. The firm has 71 employees, 22 in Mineville. Pre-Tech is a manufacturer of precision-machined metal and plastic components. At any one time the plant is making up to a dozen different items. Most relate to aerospace, but some are biomedical. “We make parts in this facility that aren’t made anywhere else in the world,” Kahler said. “More than 90 percent of what we make flies.” That’s a reference to the large mount of work done for government and commercial aerospace industries.

The Family of Clarence Anthony Bordeau would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the many relatives, friends, neighbors & co-workers who have expressed their condolences by visitation, flowers, food and donations. Your kindness and comfort will always be in our hearts. Please accept these few words as our personal “Thank You” to each and every one who has helped us in any way through this difficult time.

reasons, Kahler and other Pre-Tech employees do not discuss specific products or customers. Pre-Tech is part of an aerospace industry where components are made at plants around country, shipped and assembled elsewhere. “We never do the full assembly of a part,” Kahler explained. “We make components for parts. Other plants make other components. Someone else puts them together. There are security and safety issues. If something were to happen at one plant it wouldn’t affect the entire industry.” One thing is obvious. The Mineville plant is high-tech and its employees are skilled. In the past year it added a $500,000 horizontal mill. That mill replaced four older pieces of equipment and allows Pre-Tech to make the latest in aerospace components. “I’ll admit, I was pretty nervous the first time I had to use it,” said Jim Martin, the primary operator of the new mill. “It’s like anything, though. You learn and it becomes pretty routine.” While high-tech machines make the components at Pre-Tech, workers constantly monitor them for quality control. Adjustments are made Jim Martin, left, and Eric Moquin stand with a $500,000 horizontal mill at Pre-Tech Precision Machining in Mineville. The equipment is used to make aerospace components. throughout each process. “Most people believe technology has made mahere,” he said. “We use trig (trigonometry) every day. Math chining easier,” said Kahler, who has been with Pre-Tech since it opened the Mineville shop. “It’s made it faster, but skills are key.” But while math and mechanical skills are required, only I think the manual machines were much easier to use. The new machines need to be constantly adjusted. You need to one of Pre-Tech’s 22 Mineville workers has a college degree. “High schools do a good job teaching the skills we need,” be alert every second.” “You really need mechanical and mathematical skills,” Kahler said. “Students just have to learn them. “I never dreamed I could do this kind of work, become a said Martin, pointing to his machine’s monitor. “All you see there are numbers.

Pre-Tech prides itself on being a local company, Kahler “If you can’t use sine, cosine and tangent you can’t work said.

Empire State Games preparing for Feb. 7-10 By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — Now in its third year of local organization, the Empire State Winter Games are preparing for opening ceremonies Feb. 7. “This is the third year that we have picked this up from the state and the numbers have remained pretty consistent,” Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism Director Jim McKenna, who heads the organization of the games. McKenna said that the games will again be coupled with both the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival and a luge World Cup event that will be held the same week.

“Our goal is to offer more for the families and athletes to do while they are here in the region,” McKenna said. “We did this last year with the Winter Carnival. With the luge event, we feel this is a great opportunity because a lot of luge athletes have started out here and come through the Empire State Games program.” According to organizers, the games will officially begin with an Opening Ceremony Thursday night, Feb. 7, in the Lake Placid Olympic Center ’s Herb Brooks Arena. A torch run through the North Country will begin Wednesday, Feb. 6, and conclude at the Opening Ceremony. An awards celebration and fireworks display will be held on Saturday

night, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m. in Mid’s Park on Main Street in Lake Placid, near the Palace Theater. Most events will be held on the venues of the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) in Lake Placid and Wilmington. “Athletes from New York and around the world have come to rely on ORDA to prepare world class venue for their events,” said ORDA President and CEO Ted Blazer. “Next month will be no different. All the early snow is a true blessing, but snowmaking, grooming and ice preparation is on our daily to-do list. So when these athletes arrive, they will have the best conditions possible for training and racing.” Nineteen different disciplines will be con-

tested, from alpine skiing to figure skating to women’s ice hockey, including a number of adaptive contests. The alpine skiing competitions will include athletes from the New York State Ski Racing Association. In recent years, organizers have also included more “new school” events with skiercross, boardercross and slopestyle competitions, most coming under the banner of the United States of America Snowboard Association. Adaptive races are slated for alpine skiing, biathlon, boardercross and cross country skiing. For more information on the 33rd edition of this winter sports festival, visit empirestatewintergames.com.

Essex County Sheriff asks for hiring freeze exemption By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Stating that the process could take too long if it had to go through committee, Essex County Sheriff Richard Cutting sought and received a preliminary exemption from the Essex County hiring freeze policy. Cutting asked that his office be considered in the same class as the Horace Nye Nursing Home when it came to hiring, meaning he would not have to go through committee review before seeking to fill a position. As part of the 2013 budget talks, supervisors resolved to have all hiring requests come through committee to be approved. Cutting said during the Jan. 14 Public Safety Committee meeting that his request had to do with the fact that many of his positions in corrections are under state mandate to be filled. “If I lost an officer tomorrow, I would have to wait until next month for committee and then for Ways and Means and the full board,” Cutting said. “That creates an overtime situation while I am waiting for the full board to make its decision. With the hiring freeze, a six-week period could very well be turned into 12.” Cutting said that the department is currently down four positions, which were being covered in-house.

“If we are a person down, then I will bring in from overtime because I am not going to jeopardize safety,” he said. The supervisors passed the resolution through committee, but asked that the Sheriff look into alternatives when it came to filling positions, including part-time employees. “Essex and Fulton county are the only ones that do not operate with any part-time employees,” Westport Supervisor Dan Connell said. “We are in a position that we have got to do business differently. Do this for a minimal amount of training and save us substantial money.” Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch was the lone vote against the request. “I would think that this stuff should be looked at by the budget committee before we look at this,” he said. “We have that committee there to look at these things and see how they fit in the budget.” “That is not the purpose of the budget committee,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava countered. “I think that this issue is very ell explained by the sheriff and he has the paperwork to back it up. The committee is looking to put in place a three- to five-year plan. It is not about bringing every staffing issue to the committee. All of these positions are in the budget.” Hatch said he was concerned that more departments would seek similar relief.

“If everybody is going to come in here and do this, then we are going to be right back here in November,” he said.

Offender registry Cutting also offered a presentation from members of Watch Systems, LLC. The company operates the Offender Watch Network, which is currently used to help track sexual offenders in Clinton, Franklin, Washington and Warren counties. In total, the company is operating in a total of 30 states either statewide or county-by-county, and with more than 4,500 local law enforcement and government agencies. Cutting said that bringing the program to Essex County, which would include an investigative and public Internet presence, would cost $4,000 for the first year and $3,500 annually thereafter. “I think that for that amount of money, we need to take a look at this,” board chairman Randy Douglas said. “One of our responsibilities is to keep our constituents safe, and this is something that can help our sheriff and district attorney when it comes to that.” Currently, Cutting said there are 134 registered sexual offenders in the county, including 15 level three (the most severe) and 52 level two offenders, with three still pending evaluation.

Volunteers assist with trail system off Valley Woods Road Hague, Putnam stewards help LGLC By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com HAGUE — Located off of Valley Woods Road in Bolton Landing, the Cat and Thomas Mountains Preserve, owned and managed by the Lake George Land Conservancy, is a popular destination for those looking for clear views of Lake George for minimal effort. With over seven miles of varied trails it also demands year-round stewardship to keep the trails safe. Most recently, storms have washed away small sediment, leaving rough, ankle-twisting footpaths that double as streams after a rain. Barry Kincaid, Bolton Landing resident and owner of KLC Property Enhancement, has come to the rescue, donating his services to improve trail drainage with swales, reset a culvert, and widen the trail where brush had become too overgrown.

Kincaid also donated his services to help clear trails and trim back growth at the Last Great Shoreline Preserve in Putnam, and to remove downed trees at Peggy’s Point in Hague. “We’re happy to be able to offer access into some of Lake George’s most beautiful areas,” said LGLC Communications and Outreach Manager Sarah Hoffman. “But it’s also our responsibility to make sure these trails remain safe and provide an enjoyable experience for everyone who uses them. Barry Kincaid’s donation of time, equipment and expertise has been wonderful for these trails and a great help to us.” Others have also stepped up to help LGLC’s preserves. A new door to the Thomas Mountain cabin has been built and installed by Bolton Landing resident David Cummings. Rich Larkin took down a dead tree that was dangerously hanging over a trail at Cat and Thomas. Another Bolton resident, Justin Warren, has volunteered to remove snow from the parking area of Amy’s Park and has removed two large tanks that were

dumped over the bank on Trout Falls Road. Numerous dedicated volunteers also take on the role of Volunteer Preserve Stewards, hiking the trails year-round to report any misuse or damage, often performing needed maintenance themselves, and keeping the kiosks stocked with trail guides and log-in sheets. These dedicated volunteers include Nancy Hill, Bob Aspholm and Rosemary Pusateri at the Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob; Bob Whitaker and Dick Barney at Cook Mountain; the Chapman family at Gull Bay; Mary Lou Doulin at Peggy’s Point; and Richard Hayes Phillips at Cat and Thomas and the Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob. Yet many others join group work days to conduct litter cleanups or other special stewardship tasks on an as-needed basis. In total over 350 volunteer hours have been directed towards stewardship at LGLC parks and preserves over the past year. “I would like to thank all the volunteers,” said LGLC Land Protection and Stewardship Specialist Warren Rosenthal, “who have assisted us this year in maintaining our pre-

serves. With their dedication and hard work, our parks are cleaner and safer for all to enjoy.” This fall LGLC is also benefitting from the additional help of Laura Kinkead, a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute student who is participating in their fall Semester of Study at the Darrin Fresh Water Institute. The program requires that all students take an internship with one of more than a dozen local environmental organizations. Kinkead chose to work with LGLC and once a week spends a day assisting Rosenthal in the field. “With our limited staff and resources, the amount of help we’ve received over the years from volunteers and partnering groups such as DFWI has been remarkable and vital to the health of these parks and preserves,” said Hoffman. Stewardship is an ongoing need and more volunteers are always welcome. To become a Volunteer Preserve Steward or help at group work days, call Sarah at 518-644-9673 or email shoffman@lglc.org.

Fort honors store manager Peg Shaw TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga honored Peg Shaw recently for her service as the museum store manager. Staff joined together in thanking Shaw for her service and commitment to Fort Ticonderoga’s mission. “Peg has been committed to serving Fort Ticonderoga’s mission as the museum store manager since 1989,” said Beth Hill, president and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga. “It is with gratitude that we recognize her for her outstanding dedication and service.” Shaw thanked the attendees for the recognition and said she “enjoyed all her years working at the fort.” Prior to serving as the museum store Manager,Shaw worked at Fort Ticonderoga in her youth in the Log House Restaurant. In 1985 she joined the Fort Ticonderoga staff as a docent in the museum exhibition space and then was hired as the seasonal museum store manager in 1989. “Ms. Shaw is fondly recognized by her colleagues for her kindness and love of the fort,” Hill said. “Fort Ticonderoga looks forward to Ms. Shaw returning part-time in the museum store during the 2013 season.”

Outdoor sports and gym class

s debate over gun control continues to rage across the country, it is interesting to note two proposed bills that were introduced in the New York State Assembly and Senate last year. The proposed measures may actually offer some of the wisest, and least controversial methods available to address the issue of gun control in NY State. If enacted, the legislation may actually provide a proactive opportunity, rather than the reactive measures, which have created so much controversy across the state in recent days. The legislation includes, Assembly bill, A4345, sponsored by Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, and the Senate version, S4933 sponsored by Sen. John Bonacic, RMt. Hope. If approved, it would require the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to “develop an educational program for grades 9 through 12, …with information necessary for implementing an educational program encompassing outdoor opportunities for recreational and physical education purposes.” Obviously, there are at least two politicians who believe there should be more to gym class than just basketball, baseball and football. The measure, which is focused on high school physical education courses, has drawn wide support from the New York State Conservation Council. If enacted, the legislation would provide school districts with a NYS Department of Education, approved high school curriculum centered on the traditional pursuits of hunting and fishing for use in physical education courses. In many school districts, activities such as archery, Nordic skiing, mountain biking, flyfishing and orienteering are no longer part of gym class. Rather, these activities are offered as part of Health Class. If the current legislation is enacted, students in New York schools would have and opportunity to learn about the various hunting and fishing seasons and the species that could be sought, and the numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation and exercise. Additionally, students would learn about the history and benefits of hunting and fishing in the development of

New York State. Such progressive measures would certainly put New York at the forefront of the international movement currently addressing the plight of ‘nature deficit disorder ’ that afflicts children worldwide. A key component of the curriculum would provide students with an opportunity to understand what firearms are intended for. Hunter Safety Education takes the mystery out of firearms, and provides the necessary expertise for students to accomplish a hands-on demonstration. New York would be a lot safer if students learn proper gun handling techniques from certified instructors, rather than by watching videos such as Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt, or Resident Evil. Recently, David Figura, an outdoor writer with The Post Standard in Syracuse, polled his readers whether public schools should be offering hunting, fishing and trapping education. Admittedly, it wasn’t a scientific sampling considering the paper primarily serves an urban readership; but it was surprising! The results were “All for it” 63.93%, “Are you kidding me? No way” 5.74% and “It should offered, but only as an elective. 28.69%” Or, “Not sure. Need more information 1.64%” One reader commented, “Give a kid a hook, and he’ll never be a crook.”

Got Game? On the same topic, it is important to note SUNY-ESF’s Adirondack Interpretive Center in Newcomb will again be hosting their popular Got Game? Series. This new program series will highlight the role that sportsmen play in conservation and game management. The events are intended to foster a connection among sportsmen and women across the Adirondacks, by providing an opportunity for them to swap stories; trades tips, and spend some time together over a bowl of chili, a beer or a hot chocolate. The series begins on Saturday, Jan. 26 from 3-5 p.m. Admission is $5, and for further information, please call or email to register, at (518) 582-2000, or aic@esf.edu. Conveniently, the late afternoon start will allow participants an opportunity to put in a full day of skiing or snowshoeing before retreating to the comfortable, fireside confines of ESF’s historic Huntington Lodge in Newcomb.

If legislation is approved, NY high school students may soon be enjoying gym classes in the wild. Photo by Joe Hackett

The series will continue from January through April with a focus on a different game species, or an outdoor sporting skill. The series will begin with guest speaker DEC Wildlife Biologist Jeremy Hurst leading a conversation on Whitetailed Deer. Hurst is responsible for the management of New York’ whitetail population, and other big game animals. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Fish stocking may be down in 2013 By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Due to disease at one of the key fish hatcheries in New York state, Essex County may see fewer trout being stocked into its lakes and rivers. Essex County Fish Hatchery manager Steve LaMere told members of the Economic Development Committee Jan. 14 that there could be as much as a 20 percent reduction in the number of brown trout and brook trout being stocked in the region due to the outbreak. “We are hopeful that this will be a one-year lull,” LaMere said. “Here we have always tested negative in terms of certified diseases. If you see a decrease in state fish stocking, that is not on our part, it is on the state’s part.”
