PUTNAM — After several difficult budgets, Matt Boucher was bracing for a tough 2013-14 fiscal year at Putnam Central School. But nothing could have prepared him for the news he recently received. The “first run” of aid figures to school districts call for Putnam to take a 35 percent cut in funding from the state. “I was very surprised to see a 35 percent decrease,” said Boucher, the Putnam school superintendent. “I anticipated a decrease, but 35 percent is not anywhere near equitable. We lost 17 percent last year as well.” Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposed 2013-14 state budget calls for a 4.4 percent increase in state aid to schools. That’s not across the board, though. Crown Point is slated to get a 5.5 percent increase,

Fort Ticonderoga offering teacher scholarships TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga has announced four scholarships are available for middle and high school teachers to attend the 18th annual War College of the Seven Years’ War May 17-19, 2013. The seminar focuses on the French & Indian War in North America (1754-1763), bringing together a panel of historians from around the country and beyond. The War College takes place in the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center and is open to the public; pre-registration is required. The scholarships are available for first-time attendees to the War College.

“Begun in 1996, the War College of the Seven Years’ War has become one of the premier seminars on the French & Indian War in the country,” said Beth Hill, president and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga. “It features a mix of new and established scholars in an informal setting for a weekend of presentations related to the military, social, and cultural history of the French & Indian War. Since 2001, Fort Ticonderoga has provided scholarships for 57 teachers from across the country to attend the War College, and a total of 104 teacher scholarships to attend seminars and conferences at the fort.”

Teachers interested in applying for a scholarship to attend this year’s War College of the Seven Years’ War should download an application at www.fort-ticonderoga.org. Applications are due by March 15. Successful applicants will receive free registration, two box lunches and an opportunity to dine with the War College speakers at a private dinner the Saturday of the War College. Con-

tact Rich Strum, director of education, at 5856370 for information. Non-teachers can register to attend the War College as well. The cost is $120 if registering before March 15; $145 after that date. Registration forms can be downloaded from the fort’s website at www.fort-ticonderoga.org. A printed copy is also available upon request by contacting Strum at 585-6370.

Teacher program coming to Ti fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Teachers will have an opportunity to go to school this summer at Fort Ticonderoga. The fort has announced the creation of The Fort Ticonderoga Teacher Institute. “Fort Ticonderoga is thrilled to launch this new teacher initiative,” said Beth Hill, president and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga. “This important program, along with our other teacher programs, will nearly double our reach to school children in 2013 from 13,000 annual on-site visits, to nearly 24,000 through teacher instruction. It is a critical step forward in our ability to best serve the fort’s educational mission, further develop our learning campus and increase our impact.” The focus of the July 7-12 teacher institute will be Benedict Arnold. Two dozen teachers will be accepted to take part in a week-long exploration of Arnold’s career during the early years of the American Revolution and how it connects to Fort Ticonderoga and the war for independence. Interested teachers can learn more by visiting the Fort Ticonderoga website at www.fortticonderoga.org. Teachers can also contact Rich Strum, Fort Ticonderoga’s director of education and institute director, at rstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org. “This is a great opportunity for teachers to spend a week immersed in a focused topic while at the same time learning techniques applicable throughout their teaching,” Strum said. “Full-time classroom teachers and school librarians in public, charter, independent and religiously-affiliated schools are eligible to apply. “A new partnership with the College of St. Joseph in Rutland, Vt., will give participating teachers the opportunity to earn three graduate credits upon completion of a designated project,” said Strum. “Fort Ticonderoga offers this week-long experience with limited out-of-pocket costs for teachers.” During the course of the week, teachers will work with Arnold scholar James Kirby Martin from the University of Houston. They’ll learn about Arnold’s role in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775, his command of a brigade at Ticonderoga in 1776 and then the American fleet on Lake Champlain, and his controversial role in the Battles at

Saratoga in 1777. Teachers will work with original documents in the Fort Ticonderoga collection, including Benedict Arnold’s “Declaration of Principles” written at Crown Point in June 1775. Tim Potts, president of the New York State Council on the Social Studies, will interact with teachers throughout the week, leading them through activities applicable to the classroom. Several immersive experiences will be presented as part of the teacher institute allowing for teachers to gain a greater appreciation of the day to day work of Continental soldiers that served under Arnold, Strum said. Teachers will become the crew of a 30-foot bateau on Lake Champlain, construct a temporary brush shelter and work with Fort Ticonderoga’s new equestrian program, learning how a horse is harnessed to pull a cart.

In addition it is a wonderful opportunity for businesses and organizations to discuss common issues and concerns and provide this information to the chamber. We are truly excited to have four hosts for the February After Business Mixer. What a wonderful opportunity to showcase our partnerships and update the business community.” The chamber After Business Mixers provide a networking forum for area business people in addition to showcasing the site of the host as well as promoting the door prize sponsors. All area business people, chamber members and their employees are invited to attend. “The After Business Mixer in February will be hosted by not one organization/business but four,” Courtright said. “Three of our hosts live in the same building – PRIDE of Ticonderoga, the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and Vilardo Architecture. Our fourth host for the evening is the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership. We all agreed that since we all work together on community development projects throughout the town and are close partners with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce it would be a great opportunity to share our combined efforts with chamber members and the business community”. PRIDE of Ticonderoga is a non-profit rural preservation company established in 1984 for the purpose of “Preserving, Implementing, Directing, and Effecting” community development through the securing of public and private funds for housing rehabilitation, economic development, historic preservation, community planning and educational programs.

dividuals to identify specific needs, evaluate funding options, develop strategies, prepare funding applications, assist with fundraising and implement programs and projects to effect community development. The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a not-for-profit organization established in 2007. Its mission is to create and enhance the economic, historic and social development of Ticonderoga's traditional business district, employing the National Trust Main Street Center ’s guidelines for organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring.

and resources, and a catalyst for public-private partnerships and investment opportunities. The alliance was formed in 2010 by an unprecedented citizens' alliance.

Poverty concerns Ti superintendent John McDonald asks for state help By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — There are children who arrive at Ticonderoga schools this winter smelling of kerosene after sleeping next to a space heater trying to stay warm. “We actually give them clothes to wear while we wash their clothing,” John McDonald, Ticonderoga Central School superintendent, recently told state officials. “It’s embarrassing for everyone, but it’s the situation we find ourselves in. We have a lot of poverty.” McDonald made his remarks to Dede Scozzafava, deputy secretary of state for local government, while she was in Ticonderoga to make a state budget presentation. He urged Scozzafava and state officials to take greater action to alleviate rural poverty. “There’s a lot of attention focused on poverty in our state, but it’s focused on urban poverty,” McDonald said. “I submit that rural poverty is worse. We need to focus on rural poverty as much as urban poverty.” According to the New York State Community Action Association, 14.7 percent of Essex County residents live in poverty — 19.8 percent of children. Nearly a quarter of Ticonderoga students — 23 percent — live in poverty. That makes Ti the 623rd poorest district in the state. There are 684 districts. Crown Point is close. It has a poverty rate of 22.4 percent and ranks 618th. Ironically, Ticonderoga school district is considered the wealthiest in the region. That’s because the state determines a district’s wealth based on property values. With two lakes — Lake George and Lake Champlain — in the district Ti school district has high land values. “There’s a unique situation facing schools in the Adirondack Park and rural schools in general,” McDonald told Scozzafava. “The state aid formula doesn’t work for us.” And neither do most poverty programs, he added. “Poverty is a problem everywhere, there’s no denying it,” McDonald said. “But a poor person in New York City can go to a shelter (for heat) or a soup kitchen (for food). Even poor kids can go to museums and libraries if they choose to. Our kids are isolated. They don’t have those opportunities.” Scozzafava, who lives in Ogdensburg, sympathized with McDonald. “I’ve seen it myself, the family living at the end of a dirt road without heat,” she said. “You’re right, we need to do more.” Scozzafava promised McDonald she would take his concerns to the governor. Poverty is defined by the federal government based on income and household size. A family of four earning $22,113 or less a year meets the poverty threshold. The income level rises to $26,023 for a family of five and so on. According to the census, 16.4 million children now live in poverty in the United States. That’s 22 percent of all American children, the highest percentage since 1959.

Viewpoint

A date worth remembering Military sacrifices should be honored every day

here are dates with obvious significance. Feb. 19 is not one of them, but maybe it should be.

Feb. 19, 1945, U.S. Marines landed on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima. The small island, about 10 square miles, was vital to an anticipated American invasion of Japan that would end World War II. When U.S. Marines finally secured the island on March 16, they had 6,891 dead and more than 18,000 wounded. The casualty rate among Marines on Iwo Jima was a staggering 22 percent. All but 212 of the 22,000 Japanese defenders on the island died. Ray Tolar of Ticonderoga remembers Feb. 19. A Marine, he was there in 1945 and has made a point of marking the anniversary ever since. “On Memorial Day we raise the flag and salute,” Tolar said. “But we should do more. We should remember the sacrifices of Americans every day. “Mark Feb. 19 on your calendar and, if you will, give thought to this meager reminder,” he said. “A degree of sorrow will be felt in your heart as well as a tremendous sense of pride for being an American and what it stands for. Semper Fi. “For me this is a cause,” Tolar said. “It’s important to remember what freedom costs, to remember those who have died.” After three days of fighting Marines captured Mount Suribachi, the island’s highest point. There Marines raised an American flag, a moment that became famous thanks to a photo shown around the world. Many assumed the flag raising was a symbol of victory. It was really just the start. That was 68 years ago. In the years since American men and women have continued to sacrifice. We received a painful reminder of those sacrifices when Staff Sgt. Venne, age 29, of Port Henry was killed in Paktiya Province, Afghanistan, last November. Venne and others made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Other sacrifices are less apparent. Tom Bain of Putnam, who plans to retire from active Army service this June after 23 years, recently noted the sacrifices of his family. “The service to my country is not a solo event,” he said. “I have to give great credit to my wife of 20 years, Christine, and my children, Tommy and Caitlin. Without their support, a career in the military would not have been possible. I am eternally grateful for the support they gave me throughout the years and am sorry for the sacrifices and challenges they faced in my many absences.” A chief warrant officer, Bain has served around the world as a helicopter pilot. There are thousands of men and women like him — and families like his — serving our nation while asking so little in return. So, Feb. 19 let’s honor Ray Tolar ’s request. Let’s take a moment to think about the men, women and families, past and present, who have demonstrated the greatest ideal of our nation — the willingness to sacrifice for others. —Denton Publications Editorial Board

Stand up and speak out

am fortunate to be able to have and use this venue to voice my concerns about the direction of our country. Each week I hear from many of you. At times, I must admit I’m a little embarrassed by the acknowledgements and the degree of praise I receive. I think readers recognize I’m writing from the heart. It’s not so much how I put the words on paper, but perhaps the passion and belief behind what I try to convey. Like many of you, I’m concerned about the direction of our country, the attitude of our people and the things we see that are clearly not moving the nation in a positive direction. My goal here is to voice concern from a position that I hope the majority can agree needs attention. I also hope to encourage our leaders to put aside their party affiliation and hidden agendas designed to further divide the nation and stonewall needed legislation. I don’t consider myself a radical, a revolutionary or someone who sees a conspiracy behind every tree. There are simply subjects that I don’t see appearing in the national media, however, that should be covered and I’m concerned why they are ignored. I make these points because it reflects what I hear from many of you when you contact me. One of my concerns when I began writing this column a couple years ago was the fear of offending some readers or advertisers who ultimately pay the way for this free newspaper. I’m surprised at the number of you who express concern about speaking out and expressing their views either in letters to the editor, guest commentaries or comments on the web site. Fear of retribution is a major concern for many of you. The concern that in this land of free speech many have been silenced by fear, not of what others will think, but more so by what others may do, is an alarming trend. Respectful disagreement has taken a back seat in this day and age. One can easily see how outspoken individuals can be labeled “crackpots” or “nut cases” and the media and our politicians should take the blame for making citizens fearful about speaking out. Think for a moment, if you were given an opportunity to speak out respectfully about your primary concerns for the key issues facing this na-

tion and you had the opportunity to do so less than 5 feet from the president, vice president, the first lady and many of our elected officials. I encourage you to watch the 27-minute

Dan Alexander Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

video of Dr. Benjamin Carson, a John Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon who dug his way out of the poorest of situations when he was young and gave a speech last week at the National Prayer Breakfast. Carson offered his concerns for the nation on subjects like the deficit, education, taxation, political correctness, partisan bickering and God all while the nation’s leaders looked on. The video can be viewed on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyyHegP255g. In case you don’t have access to a computer, here is one of Carson’s many points: CARSON: “What we need to do is come up with something simple. And when I pick up my Bible, you know what I see? I see the fairest individual in the universe, God, and he's given us a system. It's called a tithe. We don't necessarily have to do 10 percent but it's the principle. He didn't say if your crops fail, don't give me any tithe or if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithe. So there must be something inherently fair about proportionality. You make $10 billion, you put in a billion. You make $10 you put in one. Of course you've got to get rid of the loopholes. Some people say, 'Well that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.' Where does it say you've got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don't need to hurt him. It's that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here building our infrastructure and creating jobs.”

To the Times of Ti:

January started off 2013 as a busy and somber month for the Ticonderoga Fire Department. Our thoughts and prayers to the Scuderi family that lost their house to fire as well as the firefighters that were injured while battling the blaze. While three of the firefighters injured have returned to duty, one will be laid up for a few months recovering. We responded to 18 emergencies including house fires (2), motor vehicle accidents (4), fire CO alarm activations (2) and 10 other emergencies. Our membership totaled 426.3 man hours for all emergencies. In addition to responding to the emergencies we conducted five training drills that included 266 man hours as well as 105 man hours of OSHA-mandated training. As always we are looking for new members and applications can be obtained on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7 or contact any member for more information. We strongly encourage everyone in the community to please make sure the fire hydrants near your house are cleaned out and that your house numbers are easily visible to our emergency responders.

Elizabeth Kroeplin, Treasurer Westport

I wish to thank the Fish and Game and the Snowmobile Clubs of Schroon Lake for their support of the Snowmobile Safety Course that was presented at the SL F&G club Jan. 1719.

February 16, 2013

Ti appoints new deputy supervisor John Bartlett named to post By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga has a new second-incommand. John Bartlett has been appointed Ticonderoga deputy supervisor by Deb Malaney, town supervisor. “I feel very confident that, if anything happens, the town will be in excellent hands,” Malaney said. “I have great respect for John and his abilities. He’s very involved in the community and has a strong financial background. He’s the perfect candidate.” Bartlett replaces Jim Major, who asked the town board to replace him, citing other commitments. As deputy supervisor Bartlett has the authority to sign checks, conduct board meetings and direct town departments in the absence of the supervisor. He does not have voting power during town board meetings.

State Aid from page 1 Moriah a 2.3 percent increase and Ticonderoga a 1.7 percent hike. Schroon Lake Central School is expected to have a 7.5 percent decrease. The state aid figures are not final until a budget is adopted by the state legislature. Until that happens, local school administrators will lobby for increased funding. The formula for determining state education aid is long and complex. A key factor is property values in a community. Communities with lakefront property — Putnam and Ticonderoga each have two lakes, Lake George and Lake Champlain — are often considered wealthy. Crown Point, Moriah and Schroon Lake all have lakefront land. “Most smaller districts and districts with high property values took a big hit,” Boucher said. “I have spoken to Sen. (Betty) Little’s office and we have discussed talking points that they will take to the governor ’s aid commission.” Ticonderoga school district is considered the wealthiest in the region, but nearly a

A native of Ticonderoga, Bartlett is looking forward to serving as deputy supervisor. “I am pleased to help in any way I can,” he said. “While I was born and raised in Ticonderoga, college and my career in the financial side of insurance kept me away for many years. Since returning to Ti, I have taken an active interest in the community and have participated in a number of committees, projects and community service organizations.” Bartlett may be best known as chairman of the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership (www.timainstreet.org). The Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership is a not-forprofit organization established in 2007. Its mission is to create and enhance the economic, historic and social development of Ticonderoga’s traditional business district, employing the National Trust Main Street Center ’s guidelines for organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring. Meetings are held monthly and volunteers are always welcome. The group is responsible for the Ticonderoga Best Fourth in the North celebration, the annual StreetFest each summer and the Ti WinterFest.

quarter of Ticonderoga students — 23 percent — live in poverty. That makes Ti the 623rd poorest district in the state. There are 684 districts. Crown Point is close. It has a poverty rate of 22.4 percent and ranks 618th. “There’s a unique situation facing schools in the Adirondack Park and rural schools in general,” John McDonald, Ticonderoga superintendent, told state officials during a budget meeting in Ti recently. “The state aid formula doesn’t work for us.” Boucher said the state is trying to get more aid to poor districts, but the formula is flawed. “I believe much of this was intended to impact wealthy Long Island/Suffolk County districts, with our area receiving some of the blowback,” he said. Boucher also believes local schools are being discriminated against. “I am also very aware of the governor ’s bias against small school districts,” he said. “So that may have been part of the plan as well.” Moriah is slated to get increased state aid, but not enough to keep up with expenses, Superintendent Bill Larrow said.

John Bartlett has been appointed Ticonderoga deputy supervisor by Deb Malaney, town supervisor.

“Even though any type of increase in state aid is welcomed, it still does not adequately fund our school based on the projected increases for next year,” Larrow said. “Our retirement contribution increase alone will consume any type of projected aid increase for next year, leaving the remaining increase portions of the budget to be essentially unfunded. Once again, the district will be looking for ways to maintain our current programs within the frameworks of the proposed state budget.” Moriah expects to get an additional $245,000 in 2013-14. “Most of this increase was due to expense driven services,” Larrow said. “For example, our High and Private Excess Cost had increased from the previous year due to student enrollment in these programs. When you factor this type of state aid increase into the overall picture, our state aid increase was minimal.” State law limits local property tax increases to 2 percent, although levies can go higher with 60 percent approval by voters. Voters will decide on local school budgets May 21.

Scrabble tourney to aid literacy efforts March 2 in Port Henry By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — L-I-T-E-R-A-C-Y. To raise money and awareness for literacy programs in the region, the Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties will hold its annual Scrabble tournament in Port Henry Saturday, March 2, at Moriah Central School. Registration will begin at 12:30 p.m. with play starting at 1 p.m. Registration fee is $10 a person. Prizes will be awarded to the top three players. For information contact the Literacy Volunteers office in Port Henry at 546-3008. More than 10 percent of North Country residents can’t read well enough to complete daily tasks. “It’s a much bigger problem than most people realize,” said Maria Burke, director of the Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties. “A lot of people can’t support their families, help their children with homework or have

other struggles because they don’t have the necessary literacy skills.” A report by the National Assessment of Adult Literacy in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education showed 12 percent of Essex County residents and 15 percent of Franklin County residents lack basic reading skills, Burke said. Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties offers free, confidential tutoring on a one-to-one basis and in small groups to anyone older than age 16. Most of its students are people working toward high school graduate equivalency degrees (GED) or foreign workers who lack English skills, Burke said. It also provides educational services to inmates at Moriah Shock in Mineville, Adirondack Correctional Facility in Ray Brook and Bere Hill Correctional Facility in Malone. “We’re available to anybody who needs help,” Burke said. Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties has offices in Port Henry, Saranac Lake and Malone with a satellite site in Lake Placid. Although Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties

Man arrested following fight PORT HENRY — Edward Koch, age 25, from Port Henry has been arrested for assault, second degree, with intent to cause physical injury to a police officer, a Class D felony; third-degree escape, a Class A misdemeanor; third-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury, a Class A misdemeanor; and resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor. The Essex County Sheriff ’s Office and Moriah Police Department Edward Koch were dispatched Feb. 1 to a fight in progress in the village of Port Henry. Upon arriving on scene Koch was taken into custody and placed in the rear of the patrol car. While interviewing witnesses a third party opened the door and Koch attempted to leave the scene, police said. A civilian bystander assisted in apprehending Koch. While bringing Koch into the Port Henry police station he became aggressive and kicked the leg out from a patrolman and headbutted a deputy, police said. Koch was taken to Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga via Moriah Ambulance where he was examined and released back into custody. He was arraigned in Moriah Town Court in front of Justice Brian Venne, where he was remanded to the Essex County Sheriff ’s Office on $20,000 cash $40,000 bond. After further investigation Emily Wojewodzic was also arrested for resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor. While police were interviewing witnesses it was determined that Wojewodzic was the individual that opened the patrol car door and let Koch out. She was issued a criminal summons and will appear in Moriah Court at a later date. The Essex County Sheriff ’s Office and Moriah Police Department were assisted by the New York State Police during the course of the investigation.

Snow sculpture now March 7-9 SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake snow sculpture contest has bene postponed until March 7-9. The change is necessary because of an illness to organizer Joan Cunningham. “It’s great to have snow but I am still in the hospital.” Cunningham said. “Unfortunately, in December, my doctors indicated that these pesky bacteria in my body had gone away. After two more surgeries and two more weeks in the hospital and now they’re not so sure. Anyway, I’m coming home to Schroon Lake to get things rolling again.” The contest had been set for Feb. 15-17. The awards dinner will be held on March 17 at Flanagans Pub at 6 p.m. The contest has almost $700 in cash and gift certificates for prizes for the best sculptures. All of the other Schroon Lake WinterEvent activities will stay on schedule, including the Chili Cookoff Feb. 23; A Taste of Schroon Feb. 24 1 to 4 p.m. on Main Street featuring Schroon Lakes best dishes for free sampling; The Adirondacks Best Ice Fishing Tournament sponsored by the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club March 2 and 3; and the leprechaun throwing contest March 16. “We have about a dozen entries now and the added time will give us a chance to fill the park with great sculptures,” said Jessica Potter, co-chairwoman of the WinterEvent. Call 532-9900 or visit facebook.com/schroonlakeevents for additional information.

20 - Times of Ti • Outdoor

The looming storm

espite recent temperature variations that have kept local thermometers bouncing around like a pogo stick, the winter of 2012-13 has been rather blah. Snow cover has come and gone, and come back again. Snow depths have been adequate for skiing the backcountry and after a short spell of slushy conditions, ice cover has remained pretty consistent. Fortunately, the region was largely spared by the recent winter storm that ravaged the coast of New England, however, there is plenty of time left, in that regard. Prior to the turn of the millennium, the truly severe weather events hit the Adirondack region only about twice a century. A few of those record setting events included The Great Windfall of 1845, The Great Floods of 1858, The Blizzard of 1888, and The Big Blow of 1950. However, the frequency of intense weather events began to accelerate after a crippling blizzard struck the northeast in December of 1964. That event was followed soon after by another big storm that pounded the region in December of 1969. Those initial storms provided a forewarning of a frequency that was soon to follow, and soon in November of 1971, a massive Thanksgiving Snowstorm effectively crippled the entire state. The next monster storm to pound the northeast arrived in February of 1978, and yet another hard storm arrived on February 13,1980. Fortunately, the fierce February storm of 1980 delivered enough of the necessary white stuff for the snowless community of Lake Placid to host competitions during the XIII Winter Olympic Games. In following years, major snowstorms began pummeling the northeast with increased frequency, and a number of record setting foul-weather events occurred over the next decade with blizzards in January 1983, October, 1987 and December 1992. In March of 1993, the first Superstorm arrived, and it was packing powerful, hurricane force winds. Labeled as the ‘Storm of the Century,’ the raging blizzard was responsible for over 30 deaths and left over 2.5 million people without power for weeks.

www.timesofti.com

The massive storm paralyzed the entire east coast with floods in the south, and blizzard conditions throughout the northeast, but after it finally ended, there was another long lull before any similarly wayward storms occurred. Nearly a decade had passed before the long drought was finally shattered by two powerful storms that pounded the northeast with a series of punishing, back to back Nor’easters over the Christmas 2002 and New Years 2003 holiday. The devastating, double whammy of the holiday season was soon followed by another major storm that struck the northeast in a span of less than two months. The powerful storm arrived on Presidents Day weekend, 2003, and it was the last of three devastating winter storms that rumbled through the region that season. After three major storms plowed through the Northeast in the winter of 2002-2003, the pace of major storms began to slow again. The next major storm to visit the Northeast was a Category 3, Winter Storm. With hurricane force winds and heavy snow, it battered the Northeast on Valentine’s Day, 2007 and shut down trains, planes and automobiles, and plunged millions of households into total darkness for days. The Valentine’s Day Disaster of 2007 was followed by The Great Ice Storm of ‘08, which encased the entire northeast in a thick layer of ice that toppled trees, telephone poles and transmission towers in late December. The storm produced a staggering mix of ice and heavy snow that crippled the entire region for more than two weeks in an area stretching from Montreal, Canada to Washington, DC. In recent years, the frequency of such fierce storms has steadily increased, and those storms have grown more powerful as evidenced by the destructive powers of Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Tropical Storm Irene ravaged the region’s roadways in 2011, and it will take many years for the local waterways to recover from the scouring caused by the resulting floods. Fortunately, the Adirondack region was largely spared from any extensive damage as the remnants of Hurricane Sandy blew through the area in October of 2012. However, we can expect to see more of the same according to a report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The report explains that due to increasing moisture in the atmosphere, such severe weather events will become more frequent and more turbulent. Daily rainfall records collected from a variety of Adirondack weather stations over the past century reveal that "extreme rainfall events" of 2 inches of rain or more have become common in recent years. It is no surprise, for as the climate warms, more moisture is released into the atmosphere. And we all know, “What goes up, must eventually come down.”

February 16, 2013 According to international climate scientists, climate change will result in more frequent droughts, heavier floods and more prolonged heat waves. Eventually, the experts predict, conditions may become so increasingly severe that some locations will only be “marginal as places to live.” Scientists expect climate change will have a variety of serious side effects in the Adirondacks, according to a recent study conducted by the NYS Energy Research and Development Authority. Projections indicate a rise of just 2 degrees in the average temperature will significantly reduce the costs associated with heating our homes. It sounds good to me! However, these changes may also require us to learn how to deal with 90 to 100 degree temperatures. And there will be other effects as well. Maple production will suffer, or possibly disappear all together. Cold water species such as brook trout may be threatened by competition with warm water species such as bass, perch or the introduction of invasive species. With the rise in temperature, air quality will be reduced, and there will be more pollen, and more allergies. Warming trends will disrupt many traditional Adirondack pursuits, and the threat of invasive species will increase. Outdoor enthusiasts will be among the first to experience the impact of climate change, which will affect many of their activities. Many long held, Adirondack sporting traditions will be affected. Ski seasons will be condensed, as will other winter activities such as snowmobiling, ice fishing, pond hockey, as well as the availability of tracking snow during the big game hunting season. It is expected the winter season will be condensed, and it will be wetter. Summers will become warmer, and longer in duration, and overall seasons will be less distinct. Precipitation will arrive mostly in the form of heavy storms, and rainfall will become less frequent. Summer droughts will become common, and they will last longer. It will be drier. Water levels will be diminished in the rivers and streams, and water temperatures will increase. Lake ice may no longer support activities such as ice fishing, ice sailing or even pond hockey. If ice cover does set up, it will be thinner and less consistent. Frogs will begin singing nearly a month earlier on average, and birds will arrive sooner. Seasons will be expedited, and far less defined. Already, there is evidence of local apple trees blooming over a week earlier than they did in the 1960’s. Projections indicate some wildlife populations, including whitetail deer will increase, as will the incidence of Lyme Disease. The traditional range of many habitats will shift, as oak and hickory begin to replace maple and beech. We may lose spruce and fir trees in the upper elevation, boreal forests. The shift will affect many of the birds and animals that depend on such habitats. The intricate web of life supported by the vast system of local boreal bogs will likely be endangered. Projections are dire, and the remedies are few. The world that we have known for generations is changing rapidly, as are many of the traditions that define our way of life.

See our new web site...www.wheelzwholesaleinc.com documents the environmental review of the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such Statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file and available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following location; Town of Ticonderoga Community Building 132 Montcalm Street PO Box 471 Ticonderoga, New York 12883 No further environmental review of this project is proposed to be conducted, prior to release of funds. Written comments on the substance or procedure of the environmental review will be accepted by Town of Ticonderoga at the following address until March 5th, 2013; Debra A. Malaney, Town Supervisor Town of Ticonderoga 132 Montcalm Street PO Box 471, Ticonderoga, New York 12883 All such comments so received will be considered and Town of Ticonderoga will not request the release of Federal funds or take any administrative action on the within project prior to the Notice of Intent to

Request Release of Funds. This notice allows for procedural objections to the Office of Community Renewal (OCR) and is separate from the findings notice printed above. Town of Ticonderoga must certify to OCR that it has complied with all requirements of HUD environmental review regulations at 24 CFR Part 58, including receipt of public comments, before federal funds can be released for the project described above. Town of Ticonderoga will submit a request for release of grant funds and an environmental certification to OCR on or about March 6th, 2013. The Town of Ticonderoga will undertake the program with NYS CDBG funds from OCR. The Town of Ticonderoga is certifying to OCR that the Town of Ticonderoga and Debra A. Malaney, Town Supervisor in her official capacity as Certifying Officer consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews,

decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon OCR s approval, funds may be used for this program, and HUD will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and other related laws and authorities. OCR will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following bases: a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the chief executive officer or other officer of applicant approved by HUD; or b) that applicant s environmental review to the RROF for the project omitted a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process, or c) other specific grounds in HUD regulations at 24 CFR 58.75. An Environmental Review Record is on file at the address below and is available for public examination and copying, upon request, during normal business hours.
