‘Great Cow Maneuver’ to assist Sentinel athletes TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga High School Booster Club will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the “Great Cow Maneuver” on homecoming weekend Sept. 26. The event is the primary fundraiser to benefit the Ticonderoga High School athletic teams. Booster club supporters will have the opportunity to win a $1,000 prize based on the location of their 3 x 3-foot deeded plot of land. This year ’s honorary adjudicator for the event is Ralph Corbo. Corbo is a community leader and a long time supporter of the Ticonderoga athletic programs; having served in the Ticonderoga community for many years as a teacher, coach and administrator. Corbo will announce the winner of the $1,000 prize and the four $100 prizes at the afternoon event. Deeds cost $20 and can be purchased by calling 585-6661 ext. 171. There are only 300 deeds sold. The event will take place homecoming weekend during a chicken barbecue at the Ticonderoga K of C pavilion on Saturday, Sept. 26t, from 4-7 p.m. Contestants will try to win $1,000 by purchasing an official “deed” (raffle ticket) which assigns them a random plot of land in the grassy area at the pavilion. The contest winner will be chosen by the celebrity cow, which will mark one of the lucky plots of turf and pick the $1,000 winner. The four plots adjoining the winning plot will receive $100 each. “The past four years of the Cow Maneuver event have been very successful,” stated chairwoman Lynne Lenhart. “The booster club has spent over $11,000 on our athletes, based on requests from the Sentinel coaches.” Some examples of purchases for the teams since 2006 include a softball pitching machine, bowling ball bags for the Sentinel bowling team, warm up shirts for the girls basketball team, an indoor pitching mound for the boys baseball team, building materials for football locker room renovation, travel bags for girls softball, a digital clock for cross-country and track, golf bags for the golf team, travel jackets for boys basketball, face guard helmets for girls softball, warm-up suits for boys and girls track, travel bags for football, a new sound system for Sentinel field, a two-man tackle sled for football, and protective awnings for soccer.
The Ticonderoga High School Booster Club will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the “Great Cow Maneuver” on homecoming weekend Sept. 26. Jim Wells was the judge in 2008. This year’s judge will be Ralph Corbo.

Your paper ran an announcement from the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club regarding the upcoming Chicken and Lobster Bake, to be held Sunday, Sept. 13. Your editor used a story headline reading “Lobster Bake Planned.” We of the Chicken Crew demand a correction. Why does the lobster always get top billing? We spend days preparing our sauce, and blending our secret dry rub. We spend hours over open flames trying to bring 400 chickens to perfection all at the exact appointed serving time. The lobster guys show up with a truck load of lobster and throw them in a tank of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Why do they always get top billing? We have had enough. We demand recognition, if not for us, for our chickens. Joe Steiniger The Schroon Lake Fish & Game Chicken Crew

a little something for you to take your kids somewhere nice and cool today. I think God wanted me to bless you today.” She got back in her van and left. I opened my fist and there was a $50 bill in it. I did not know this kind woman or even what to think, so I did what she said, but could not help to think about it all day and if she really could’ve afforded it or not.
My day went really good and so did my children’s day, all because one woman chose to pay it forward. If only everyone could try and do this at least once a year. I know they would feel really good about themselves, and maybe our world could have some change. Rebecca Ives Crown Point
Honesty discovered in Ticonderoga To the Times of Ti: I am writing this letter to tell you that my faith in human kindness and honesty has been restored. While traveling through your area on my way to Lake Placid I forgot my purse at one of the rest areas on the highway. I did not realize that it was missing until we reached Lake Placid! I had two of my grandchildren with me and we were all so excited about all of the fun we were going to have touring the Olympic sites and kayaking the lakes. When we stopped in town for lunch I could not find my purse. My insides churned as I realized that the last place I had it with me was the rest stop so many miles away. I just knew that it would be gone by the time we returned. Then I thought about my credit cards and personal information and knew that the next few days of the vacation would probably be spent making phone calls. My excitement was rapidly fading into anguish. My granddaughter used her cell phone to call mine in
Corrections The article “Ti church resumes programs” in the Sept. 5 Times of Ti contained an error.

hopes that we would hear a ringing sound come from the back of the car. Nothing. We decided to have lunch and then work our way back to the rest stop realizing it would be a futile attempt but knowing our moods would be worse if we didn’t even try. I persevered through the meal hardly taking a bite and we returned to the car. We had already been traveling for six hours so the thought of traveling in the wrong direction was not sitting well with any of us (including our airedale). When we got back in the car my granddaughter told me that she had a message on her phone from the state police. I called back and he had my purse! A wonderful man by the name of Joseph Coley had turned it in with everything intact. My heart was so happy that we laughed and sang on the ride back to meet the outstanding state police officer who met us half way. So on this day although I had the misfortune of losing my purse I learned of two outstanding men that are from your area. An exceptional and honest man who found my purse and turned it in to the superior police officer who took the time to drive and meet us. We all had a wonderful vacation kayaking the lake and visiting the Olympic sites. Thank you, Ticonderoga! Sally Dalton Milford, Conn.

In 'BOGO' We Trust
Couponing's best-kept secrets When I teach coupon classes, one of the audience’s favorite lessons are what I call the “best-kept secrets” of couponing. These are the secrets that help push your savings potential to the maximum! Today I’ll share with you one of the best and most exciting ways to get groceries and other products for free. (And isn’t that what we all want? Who doesn’t love free stuff?) By Jill Cataldo Secret #1: Coupons for “One Free Item” You may be surprised how many coupons for free products exist! You can regularly find coupons for free items in newspaper inserts, on the Internet or even in the stores you regularly shop. These are some of the easiest and most fun coupons to use! Recently, our newspaper inserts had coupons for one free loaf of a brand-name bread, a free single-serving beverage and a free air freshener. There's nothing better than getting something for free with little or no effort. Or is there? You may be surprised to learn that running right to the store with a coupon for a free item isn't necessarily the best way to use these types of coupons. When I get one of these coupons I file it away and then I watch the sales. If my store features this item in a “Buy One, Get One Free” (BOGO) sale, that's when I redeem the coupon for the free item... because I will then get two of that item for free instead of one! Why does this work? I'll give you an example. I have a
Coupon Queen
coupon for a free bag of frozen vegetables. The coupon states that it has a value of up to $1.99, which is what the store will receive when they redeem the coupon. That's also the normal price of the vegetables. But when the store puts the vegetables on sale BOGO, they're selling two bags for $1.99. If I walk in and buy two bags and pay cash, I'll pay $1.99 and get two, right? The same thing happens when I use my coupon for one free bag of vegetables. The coupon covers the $1.99 cost of the first bag, and the second bag is free. This is all part of playing the coupon game. Getting one item for free is good, but getting two items for free is even better! Now, if my coupon gets close to the expiration date, of course I will redeem it and get my free product. But it often pays to play the waiting game, as the BOGO sales will play out in your favor more often than not. Over the course of the past few months, I kept track of the coupons for free items that I accumulated: 38 in all. I held all of them and watched closely, matching them to BOGO sales over that time period. During that time frame, 31 of the items went on sale BOGO. By playing the waiting game, I was able to get 62 free items with those 31 coupons! And with the remaining seven coupons, of course, I still got those seven items for free, too. This truly is the best way to use coupons for one free item. You’re getting two... for the price of none! Next week I’ll share another best-kept coupon secret with you. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon-workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

I am delighted to send greetings to everyone gathered for the August 29, benefit for the Brain Injury Support Group Project. Each year in New York State, more than 2,000 people die from a traumatic brain injury and over 14,000 more are hospitalized for treatment of a brain injury, yet much of the general public remains unaware of the severe consequences of trauma to the brain. As a result, many people are unprepared for the long term difficulties that can result from a brain injury to them or a loved one. Support groups like this one, formed by Gerard Thacher, provide invaluable, multifaceted assistance to brain injury survivors, offering emotional and practical support, a profound sense of community, and a trusted environment for information sharing.

TICONDEROGA — The Kiwanis Club of Ticonderoga held its August meeting aboard the Lake George Association’s Floating Classroom vessel, a new 40 foot catamaran style boat with a capacity of 49 passengers. The Floating Classroom program educates area students about lake science and ways to protect our water resources. LGA Education and Outreach Coordinator Emily Debolt gave the Kiwanians an introduction to limnology, the science of lakes, as well as a history of the geological formation of Lake George and its watershed. She discussed human impacts on Lake George’s water quality and a variety of lake-related issues including invasive species, fertilizers, native plant buffers and stormwater. Participants then performed water samples and experiments looking for indicators of water quality impacts. Club members also collected plankton samples and observed them under microscopes.

TICONDEROGA — Robert Pell deChame sees Ticonderoga as a land of opportunity. “I realize the opportunities and assets we have in Ticonderoga,” Pell deChame said. “What we need is a dialogue that emerges with a clear consensus, a vision of our future. Once we have that consensus we can build Robert Pell our community.” deChame Pell deChame, nicknamed “Chooch,” is running for Ticonderoga supervisor. He is seeking the Republican nomination along with Debra Malaney and R. William Grinnell in the Sept. 15 primary. Pell de Champ will also be on the November general election ballot as a Democrat. Incumbent Supervisor Bob Dedrick is not seeking re-election. Also on the GOP primary ballot will be Jeffrey Cook, incumbent Robert Thatcher Sr., incumbent Steven Whitford and Jorja Sander seeking two nominations for town board. Ticonderoga Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. Pell deChame’s family has deep roots in Ticonderoga. They arrived here in 1816 and his great-grandparents rebuilt and opened Fort Ticonderoga in 1908. He attended St. Mary’s School before earning a degree from Fordham University. He lived in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., before returning to Ti. Pell deChame spent the past five years on the board of the National Hopeline Network, a suicide prevention group, where Chairman Pope Simmons credits him with reorganizing the network and securing its financial future. In Ticonderoga he has been been active with the Montcalm Street Partnership along with the Ticonderoga Festival Guild, Kiwanis and Fort Ticonderoga Association. “I have been working on various projects in Ticonderoga, especially the past eight years as Bob Dedrick has worked so hard build a foundation to rebuild the economy of downtown Ti,” Pell deChame said. “I know Ticonderoga certainly has the brainpower and will power to be successful.” He said his background and contacts will make him a successful Ticonderoga supervisor. “It wasn’t until I came back home that I felt so energized about the opportunities right here in Ticonderoga,” Pell deChame said. He said his top priority will be to create a stable local economy. That will help solve other problems, he said, such as young residents moving away for work, drug abuse and crumbling streets and sidewalks. Pell deChame promises to be a “proactive” supervisor. “A supervisor has to be proactive, an activist,” he said. “You have to get out of the office every day and talk to people. You need to learn what concerns people, what they want. When you have a consensus you can move forward.” Pell deChame is already learning about the concerns of Ti residents through his door-to-door campaign. He said they are worried about street conditions, the 911 emergency dispatch service, unfunded state mandates and more. “I love it; I love meeting people,” Pell deChame said of his campaign. “That, to me, is the most valuable part of an election. Not matter what the outcome of the process, it has been empowering to me.”
TICONDEROGA — R. William Grinnell wants the voice of the people heard. “We’ve got some big decisions coming in Ticonderoga in the future,” he said. “There’s the water system coming from Chilson; the police department; other things. I think the big decisions should be made by the people through referendum R. William — let the people decide this Grinnell things.” Grinnell is running for Ticonderoga supervisor. He is seeking the Republican nomination along with Debra Malaney and Robert “Chooch” Pell deChame in the Sept. 15 primary. Incumbent Supervisor Bob Dedrick is not seeking re-election. Also on the GOP primary ballot will be Jeffrey Cook, incumbent Robert Thatcher Sr., incumbent Steven Whitford and Jorja Sander seeking two nominations for town board. Ticonderoga Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. “I want people more involved in the decisions made on their behalf,” Grinnell said, noting people with an agenda are often the only ones to attend town board meetings. “I don’t want to be compromised into decisions by the squeakiest wheel. We need to be fair to the majority.” Owner of Grinnell Construction, Grinnell has long been active in community affairs. He was named Ti’s first-ever building inspector in 1976. He has been a member of town Republican committee, served on the planning board, worked 26 years with Ti Little League, served 12 years on the Ticonderoga school board and is a former executive officer with the National Guard. He currently sits on the zoning board of appeals. “I have the urge to do something a little different,” he said. “I know several of th (town) board members well. Talking to them I like the direction things are going. I think with Bob’s (Dedrick) ideas in place and a few of my own we’re in a position to keep Ti moving in a positive direction.” Grinnell said he would like to see development of the LaChute River front be included in plans for downtown revitalization and promises to keep taxes in check. “I don’t mind paying taxes to maintain and improve the community,” he said, “but you have to keep the taxes and services in line with what taxpayers can afford. Taxes area necessary evil, but the people setting the taxes must have a conscience in regard to the taxpayers.” Grinnell believes changes need to be made at the county level. He’s concerned about efficient use of county employees and would like to see Ticonderoga get a greater share of sales tax revenue. Grinnell promises to work hard for the people of Ticonderoga. “I know I’ll step on some toes; I’m not the most delicate person,” he said. “But I’m very straight forward. Everyone will know where I stand on the issues. I can be stubborn, but in the end people will find I’m fair. “I’ve had a pretty good career in Ticonderoga,” Grinnell concluded. “It would be nice to give something back to the community. I don’t have an axe to grind. I just want to work for the people.”
TICONDEROGA — Debra Malaney believes she has the resume to be Ticonderoga supervisor. “I’m ready, willing and able,” she said. “My experience, business background, community involvement, work with county committees and being a former business owner makes me uniquely qualified.” Debra Malaney Malaney will be on the ballot in the Sept. 15 Republican primary for supervisor along with Robert Pell-deChame and William Grinnell. She has also filed an independent petition and will appear on the November general election ballot regardless of the primary outcome. Incumbent Supervisor Bob Dedrick is not seeking re-election. Also on the GOP primary ballot will be Jeffrey Cook, incumbent Robert Thatcher Sr., incumbent Steven Whitford and Jorja Sander seeking two nominations for town board. Ticonderoga Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. A graduate of Ticonderoga High School, Malaney worked 15 years in sales and marketing in the Albany area before returning to her hometown in 1990. She operated Aidan’s Lair gift shop until taking a marketing position at Fort Ticonderoga in 1995. She became Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce executive director in 2001 and remained there until taking a marketing job with the Best Western in 2007. She is presently working on a business degree at North Country Community College. She was elected and served as a Ticonderoga town board member 2002-2005 and has sat on the Ticonderoga Economic Development Committee, the Ticonderoga Montcalm Street Partnership, Essex County Quality Destination Committee, the Lake Champlain Regional marketing Committee and many other boards and panels. “I absolutely feel I’m qualified for the position,” Malaney said. “I have experience in budgeting, business management, community relations, public relations, tourism and a lot more.” The top issue in Ticonderoga is balancing taxes and services, she said. “I’m in favor of keeping tax rates at the cost of living while securing our necessary day-to-day services,” Malaney said. “This is not the time to implement new, extensive projects. We have to be aware of the local and national economies.” The candidate promises to be an advocate for local businesses and to work for viable economic development. Out-going Supervisor Dedrick has gone a good job, Malaney said, but more needs to be done. “We’ve seen such huge growth recently,” she said. ‘The four corners has developed (Wal-Mart, Lowe’s) and can grow more. Montcalm Street has improved, but we can do more. And we need to look to the future of the entire town and not limit our efforts to any one area. “One of my ultimate goals is to walk through a thriving business district and hear residents say how happy they are to live in Ticonderoga,” she said. “We have such great potential in Ti,” she said. “Our natural resources, our history, the strength of our volunteers will help Ticonderoga now and in the future.”
Coast Guard to offer course in Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA — An eight-hour America’s Boating Course will be offered by the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 15-13 1SR at the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge, 5 Tower Avenue, on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Registration begins at 8 a.m. The one-day course includes lessons on navigating the waterways, requirements for safety equipment, safe trailering practices and common terminology as well as other topics of interest to the boater. The course and proctored examination meets the approved Boating Safety Class requirement for all PWC operators in New York State. Certificates will be presented upon completion of the course. Course size is limited to 20 students on a first-come basis. Students under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. The minimum age for taking the course is ten years. Cost is $35 a student ($45 for student and immediate relative/spouse sharing text book), which includes all course expenses and
lunch. Make checks payable to USCG Aux Flotilla 15-13-1SR. Pre-registration is required so call David Carr at 597-3664 before Oct. 1 to enroll. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary has expressed concern over a rise in recreational boating fatalities in a released publication of the 2008 boating safety statistics. The fatality rate, a measure of the number of deaths against the number of registered recreational boats, increased from 5.3 in 2007 to 5.6 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational boats in 2008. During this time, the Coast Guard recorded 709 deaths, 3,331 injuries and approximately $54 million dollars in damage to property, stemming from 4,789 recreational boating accidents. Operator inattention, careless or reckless operation, lack of proper lookout, operator inexperience and passenger or skier behavior rank as the top five contributing factors to recreational boating accidents.
Alcohol consumption continues to be of major concern in fatal boating accidents and is listed as the leading contributing factor in 17 percent of the deaths. Rear Adm. Kevin Cook, the Coast Guard’s Director of Prevention Policy, emphasized the importance of boating education saying, “The 2008 report shows a clear link between safety and boating education by highlighting that only 10 percent of deaths occurred on boats where the operator had received boating safety education. This statistic indicates that boaters who have taken a boating safety course are less likely to be involved in an accident. In addition, two-thirds of all fatal boating accident victims drowned; and of those, 90 percent were not wearing a life jacket. The Coast Guard urges all boaters, whether as an operator or passenger, to take a boating safety course and to always wear a life jacket.” New York has become the first state to require life jackets for everyone in all small
pleasure craft during the six coldest months of the year, when capsized boaters drown faster in chilly water. Starting Nov. 1, kayakers, canoeists and all those aboard motorboats which are under 21 feet must wear Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices while on lakes, the ocean or other waterways. The rule remains in effect through May 1. Violators will face fines ranging from $100 to $250. Falling into cold water can trigger shock, disorientation or gasping and inhaling water. Immersion can lead to hypothermia and passing out. For 70 years the Coast Guard Auxiliary has provided boater education to the American boating public.

12 - TIMES OF TI • OPINION
SATURDAY September 12, 2009
Former judge supports Sprague for DA To the Times of Ti: The following is why I support Kristy Sprague to be our next district attorney for Essex County. Following the end of my tenure as a Supreme Court Justice on Dec. 31, 2000, I was appointed by our Appellate Division to be a settlement officer for their Civil Appeals Settlement Program for the counties of St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton and Essex. All conferences were held in Clinton County Government Center, where both civil and criminal trials also are conducted. On one occasion, a hearing was cancelled. I left my office and made my way to a courtroom where a criminal trial was in progress. I did not recognize the attorney who was prosecuting the case (bear in mind that Supreme Court Justices deal primarily with civil matters and not criminal matters). When I asked one of the court officers who the assistant district attorney was, I was told that I should know who she was as she originates from Essex County. I had to confess that I did not know her name. Her name was Kristy Sprague. This trial was my initial introduction to Kristy Sprague. I sat to the rear of the courtroom. I observed Assistant District Attorney Sprague during the examination of witnesses. Ms. Sprague carried a yellow pad. Such pads are usually used by lawyers during a trial and I assumed that the pad contained notes that Ms. Sprague had made to herself
in her preparation for the trial. What initially impressed me about Ms. Sprague during the examination of witnesses was that although she carried the pad, she never looked at the pad, but rather asked questions from memory. I also made note that her questions were framed in such a manner that controlled the witness’s response and did not allow the witness to wander off the issue raised in the question. The objections raised by Ms. Sprague to the questions of her adversary were proper and well-phrased and sustained by the presiding judge consistently. At the close of the proof in the case, the judge took a short recess. I remained in the courtroom visiting with some spectators. The judge returned to the courtroom and announced that the attorneys would now present their summations. When it was Assistant District Attorney Kristy Sprague's turn to present her summation, she carried no yellow pad, or for that matter no note of any kind, and her presentation was a detailed argument solely from memory, referring to every issue of the crime allegedly committed and the proof that Ms. Sprague presented for the jury’s consideration to establish the defendant's guilt. I left the courtroom after summations were completed. I was notified the next day that the defendant was convicted after the jury deliberated for a short period of time. I came away from that trial know-
ing we had a star in our midst by the name of Kristy Sprague. What I had witnessed only is achieved by some lawyers after many years of trying cases. I found that Assistant District Attorney Kristy Sprague, based on her knowledge of the law and exceptional mind, was way ahead of most lawyers, young or old. It was evident to any observer with some knowledge of how a trial functions that her preparation for the trial was impeccable in every respect. Assistant District Attorney Kristy Sprague's stellar performance as a prosecutor of criminal matters to date allowed her to report in her recent debate that as the result of all of her trials she has never had one case reversed by any higher court. I support Kristy Sprague for another reason as well. Her courtroom manner is reminiscent to me of other district attorneys who have served Essex County: Daniel T. Manning, Sr. and John C. McDonald, Sr. Both served our county with exceptional service, dedication and distinction, and I am confident that Kristy Sprague will do the same when elected our district attorney. For the reasons stated herein, I urge you to vote for Attorney Kristy Sprague, on primary day, Sept. 15, and election day as well. In the years ahead, you will be proud for having done so. Dominick J. Viscardi Ticonderoga
Vote for Tyler for Essex County sheriff To the Times of Ti: We are writing to show our support for Michael “Ike” Tyler who is running for Essex County Sheriff. Ike has 25 years of extensive training and experience as a New York State Correction Officer. We feel that this makes him more than qualified for this position. We have worked with Ike for several years and know him to be an honest and conscientious person who has always maintained a good working relationship with supervisors and peers and is firm, fair and consistent when dealing with
the inmates. We feel that these qualities will be invaluable when dealing with the security of the jail, the training and safety of the correction officers and the needs of the public. In our opinion Michael “Ike” Tyler is a well-rounded, qualified and experienced candidate who will do an outstanding job as Essex County Sheriff. Kathy Rohrer Nancy Connery Mineville
Sprague offers needed experience To the Times of Ti: This is why I support Kristy Sprague (for Essex County district attorney): 1. Experience: Ms. Sprague has 11 years as chief assistant DA in Clinton County, a county that has twice the population of Essex County and twice the amount of DWIs, murders and sexual assaults. She has handled thousands of cases successfully, which include murder, vicious assaults, domestic violence offenses, sexual offenses, drug of-
fenses and DWI offenses. Ms. Sprague was appointed as special prosecutor for Essex County. Ms. Sprague has trained our law enforcement officers from Essex, Clinton, and Franklin Counties. 2. Ms. Sprague is a “prosecutor” not a defense attorney. We will see more cases go to trial and be resolved and fewer cases getting dismissed. 3. Ms. Sprague is not a one issue candidate. Her focus will be on every issue. Ms. Sprague will personal-
ly handle and vigorously prosecute all crimes in both justice court and county court. Ms. Sprague will also establish consistency in the prosecution of cases, which is not the way things are happening now. 4. Ms. Sprague will properly train staff members to effectively and efficiently prepare and prosecute cases, which she has been doing over a decade in Clinton County. 5. Ms. Sprague was born and raised in Moriah. She was a resident of Essex
County for 26 years. She left the area for further education and experience. Ms. Sprague now would love to return to Essex County to raise her children and put her experience to muchneeded use. I vote for the true Republican and experience — Kristy Sprague. Your Vote will be appreciated. Stacey Hayes Port Henry
Sprague will protect our children To the Times of Ti: I would like to share with you my opinion of Kristy Sprague, the endorsed Republican candidate for Essex County district attorney. I first met Kristy in high school through athletic competition. Kristy played for Moriah and me for Crown Point. Kristy played and excelled in softball and soccer, but she was extremely passionate about the sport of basketball. Kristy was not only an aggressive competitor, but a fair and compassionate player. I specifically remember our senior all star game we played, stated by our coaches as, “strictly for fun!” Well, Kristy and I were on opposing teams, and it was my team’s goal to “shut Sprague down” and “keep Sprague from mopping the floor with us.” With that in mind, I feel that we need Kristy Sprague as our next district attorney! She has turned her passion from the basketball court to the justice court! I think we are all aware of the “mopping up” this county could use!
Kristy has successfully graduated from Moriah Central School, SUNY Plattsburgh and Albany Law School. She has been an outstanding prosecutor for 11 years ensuring the welfare and safety of the residents of Clinton County. Kristy’s record speaks loudly of her exemplary accomplishments. We, the people of Essex County should be so lucky! It is my pleasure to have remained friends with Kristy Sprague and be involved with her, her strong and supportive husband Steve, and their two beautiful children. It is in them and Kristy’s immediate and extended family that I am confident that she can, and will be an exceptional prosecutor and advocate for all of us in Essex County as our new district attorney! I trust that Kristy will ensure the welfare and safety of all of us and our children. Vote Kristy Sprague on Sept. 15, 2009. Valerie Hunsdon Crown Point
Moriah supervisor backs DA Garcia To the Times of Ti: I write this letter in full support of our current Essex County District Attorney, Julie Garcia. As chairman of the Finance Committee for the Essex County Board of Supervisors, I can speak first hand as to Julie’s fiscal responsibility. She has shown a true concern as to how tax dollars are spent, and also makes certain that they are not wasted. Contrary to what her opposition has stated, spending in the DA’s office has decreased by 12 percent since she has taken office. She has shown professionalism and loyalty to her position and stands for justice and a heartfelt compassion for victims. Don’t let a few disgruntled Republicans sway your vote on primary day. Julie Garcia has proven that she can do the job she was elected to. Julie respects the fact that this position is a privilege bestowed by the voters of Essex County, not a few party bosses. Check the facts, I have and I will vote for Julie Garcia without hesitation. Tom Scozzafava Moriah supervisor
‘Holier than thou’ To the Times of Ti: Having earlier in the year expressed an interest in running for District Attorney of Essex County as the Democratic candidate I attended the recent “debate” between Julie Garcia, our present office holder, and Kristy Sprague, her challenger for the Republican nomination, with interest. As early as her opening remarks Kristy Sprague was misleading. She questioned Ms. Garcia’s Republican Party credentials by pointing out that Ms. Garcia solicited support from the Democratic Party and will also run on that line. What Kristy Sprague did not disclose was that she also had sought to run as a Democrat and, in fact, made her overture before Julie Garcia did. Kristy Sprague withdrew her name from consideration for the Democratic nomination because I presented my name for consideration as well. It was reasonable to assume that the Democrats would then select the Democratic aspirant over either of the two Republicans (Sprague and Garcia). By pulling out and not making a public bid for the Democratic nomination she sought to preserve her Republican reputation. As it turned out the Democrats chose Garcia as the best qualified person despite her Republican affiliation. Sprague should not now get away with a “holier than thou” approach to the Republican electorate. John F. McAlevey Jay
Vote for Garcia To the Times of Ti: It’s rare to have an elected official who isn’t afraid to tangle with the good old boys and who tells it like it is, but that’s exactly what our district attorney, Julie Garcia, has done for the past four years. A lot of lies have been tossed around about Julie because she poses such a threat to the status quo in Essex County. People have said she didn’t reside in the county when she ran four years ago (she lived here, in Schroon). They said that it costs more to run the DA’s office (it now costs taxpayers 12 percent less, according to the county budget) and they have said that her conviction rate is down (it’s up, according to documents from the state). The only thing that would motivate anyone to throw around so many falsehoods so readily is desperation, and it shows. Julie doesn’t do what the good old boys want her to do. She does what is right, and all of us in Essex County are better off because of that. Julie has made this Republican proud. I hope you'll join me in voting for Julie on Sept. 15.

Town board primary Sept. 15
Democrat, Republican face off for supervisor Mark Whitney offers business background
Cathy Moses running on her record in office By Fred Herbst
By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com
SCHROON LAKE — Cathy Moses is a known commodity. “People know who I am and what I do,” the Schroon supervisor said. “There aren’t any surprises.” Moses is seeking her sixth term as town supervisor. A Republican, who currently serves as chairwoman of the Essex County Board of Supervisors, she is running in the November general election against challenger Mark Whitney. Schroon voters will go to the polls in the Sept. 15 primary, though. Incumbent Roger Friedman, Meg Wood and Bruce Caza are vying for two Republican nominations to the town board. Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. Moses brings experience to the job. Besides her 10 years in office, she was clerk to Supervisor John Kelly for 13 years before that. The most important aspect of being supervisor, Moses said, is maintaining sound financial practices. “It’s important to have a good, sound budget while keeping the tax rate down,” she said. “We’ve been able to maintain our services during this difficult (economic) time. We’re in pretty good shape in Schroon. “In spite of everything going on around us, all the town accounts continue to have healthy fund balances,” she said. A priority during Moses’ tenure has been improvements to the town infrastructure. There have been major water, sewer, parks and other projects in the past 10 years. She has helped the community receive more than $6.3 million for the work in grant money. “Our town has been very fortunate over the past 10 years to have received all the grant funding that has brought our town to where its is today,” Moses said. “We owe a great deal of thanks to our legislators who have been so very supportive of our requests
SCHROON LAKE — Mark Whitney thinks it’s time for a change in the town of Schroon. So, he’s running for supervisor. “The current supervisor has been here for 10 years and has a certain way of doing things,” Whitney said. “I have different management skills and philosophy. I want to work for the people of Schroon.” Whitney, currently a member of the Schroon town board, is running on the Democrat and Schroon Lake Party tickets in the November general election against incumbent Republican Cathy Moses. Schroon voters will go to the polls in the Sept. 15 primary, though. Incumbent Roger Friedman, Meg Wood and Bruce Caza are vying for two Republican nominations to the town board. Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. Born in Chicago and raised in New York, Whitney has an engineering degree and a master ’s in computer science from Arizona State University. He founded a software company and worked in technology his entire career. Whitney was running a multi-national software firm in Asia when terrorists attack in 2001. He decided to move his family to Schroon Lake. “My family has had a long connection to the area,” he said. “We figured Schroon Lake was a great place to raise our family and made the move. This is the last place I’ll live.” Whitney feels he has the skills to serve as town supervisor, particularly in management and financial planning. “I have experience with how the town runs,” he said. “I know the different departments, the budget process. I understand how to run a profitable business and want to bring those skills to the town.” Whitney said he is concerned with taxes and debt in the community. “When I looked at what has happened the past 10 years I became concerned,” he said.
Cathy Moses for grants.” Schroon recently received a $4.4 million federal stimulus grant to complete the second phase of its sewer project. That will allow new sewer lines along Main Street and upgrades at the sewage treatment plant. Other grants have been obtained for renovation of the Boathouse Theatre, the town bandstand, the pier, milfoil eradication, the airport, housing rehabilitation, street lighting and parks restoration. Moses believes Schroon’s infrastructure is sound for years to come. Now she has turned her attention to the expansion of the town hall, which will allow greater space for town offices, court and the library. That project will also be completed with grant money, she said, with no cost to local taxpayers. Moses also is working to improve internet access in the community, improve the townowned golf course and to make town buildings more energy efficient. Moses was born in Tahawus, moving to North Hudson at age 13. She is a graduate of Schroon Lake Central School and Our Lady of Victory business school. She worked several years for the New York State before becoming clerk to Kelly. “I think we can be very proud of where we live,” Moses said. “It has been a lot of hard work, but as I ride around town I feel a tremendous sense of pride.”
Mark Whitney “We’ve gone from virtually no debt per capita to No. 3 in the state. Taxes per capita have also reached the top 1-2 percent (of 900 towns in the state).” Whitney’s statistics are from the SeeThroughNY website. “There aren’t the financial skills in town that we need,” Whitney said. “I have those skills.” Whitney noted that in his two years on the town board he has negotiated a new agreement with Time Warner that expanded cable service to 250 homes in the town. He also noted changes he’s helping make at the town golf course to make it profitable. “The town doesn’t have many opportunities for revenue, but the golf course is one,” he said. “We need to take advantage of those opportunities to keep taxes down.” Whitney is active in the community. Besides serving on the town board, he is president of the Lions Club, a member of the Schroon Lake Fire Department, a member of the Schroon Lake Association and chairman of its lake management plan, president of the Schroon Lake men’s golf league, a member of the Essex County Democratic Committee and coached modified girls basketball at Schroon Lake Central School last season. He is also warden of the Adirondack Mission of the Episcopal Church. Whitney said the election of a town supervisor is not political. “People vote for the person,” he said. “People know I’m a fiscal conservative, an effective manager, that I have no personal agenda and no conflicts of interest. I want what’s best for Schroon, that’s all.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — Essex County officials are asking vehicle owners to be on the lookout for a new online scam. Joe Provoncha, who serves as Essex County Clerk, the office that oversees the county’s Department of Motor Vehicles, said a number of motorists in other counties have already been duped by bogus Web sites. DMVAuthority.org and other similar sites claim to offer car owners the ability to renew their vehicle’s New York registration online, avoiding a trip to the DMV where they would likely wait in line. The site appears legitimate, asking users about their county of residence and vehicle weight on a “registration form.” It adds a $10 “processing fee” and $25 for shipping and handling, then asks users for their credit card number. The site claims to mail the registration via first class mail within 10 business days, but according to Provoncha, the deliveries are never made. “It’s the new and improved scam,” he said of the site, noting reports from the Rochester area told of hundreds being victimized. “If you’re paying for something and not getting anything in return, that’s a fraud.” The site can be particularly dangerous because it appears as one of the top search results for “NY registration” on most search engines. Different versions of the site can be found at www.dmvservices.us and www.dmv3.vpweb.com. Provoncha said online registration is available through the official state DMV Web site, found at www.nydmv.state.ny.us. He noted that registration renewal by mail has a two-day turnaround, and unlike online registration, benefits the county DMV. Though this is the first DMV scam he’s dealt with, Provoncha said identity theft scams that misrepresent themselves as government entities are nothing new to Essex County. One prior scam, he said, would send fraudulent juror summons to residents then call them asking for their Social Security number under the pretense of postponing their jury duty. “The Commissioner of Jurors never asks for your Social
Security number,” said Provoncha. “We would never do that.” As for the DMV scam, no complaints have been received in Essex County, said Provoncha, and he hopes there won’t be need for any.

After high school graduation he worked in the town buildings and grounds department and at Bulwagga Bay campsite. The past 20 years he has served as town supervisor. “I’m 52, going on 53, and still here,” Scozzafava smiled. “I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years. This has pretty much been my life. They’ve been good years.” Tom Scozzafava Scozzafava, a Republican, is running unopposed for his 11th term as Moriah supervisor this fall. There are political races in the town this fall, though.

miles of infrastructure and a lot of different issues important to different people.” Moriah has been successful in recent years gaining federal and state grants to complete many projects, such as water and sewer systems, construction of an industrial park and the creation of a new health center. “It’s a difficult job,” Scozzafava said of being supervisor, “but what makes it much easier is that we have great town employees. They are truly public servants.” He singled out Becky Gilbo, his clerk for the past 18 years. “She’s my right arm,” Scozzafava said. “She’s the numbers lady, the one who makes the budget work.” Scozzafava takes pride in running an open administration. The town board was one of the first in the North Country to television its meetings to the community. “People see us from start to finish with no editing,” Scozzafava said. “With the support of the town board we hold very open meetings and encourage public participation. “You have to listen to people,” he continued. “You can learn a lot every day by listening to your constituents.” Scozzafava said the Moriah town board has done a good job of holding down property taxes, although he continues to argue to state changes in the property tax system. “The whole property tax system is in great need of overhaul,” he said. “It’s antiquated and is the most regressive system there is. There’s been years and years of talk in Albany, burt nothing ever gets done. We’ll keep trying.” In his next term Scozzafava said he will continue to work toward attracting businesses and jobs to the town. He would also like to see a hotel come to the community to boost local tourism and he wants to see more improvements at the townowned Bulwagga Bay campground. “One of the biggest assets of our community is Bulwagga Bay,” he said. “Those revenues are used to offset taxes. It’s a real benefit to the taxpayers.”

All three communities face a state mandate for greater court space. “We all have the same issues,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The state is offering incentives for consolidation of services and this certainly fits. Why spend the money for three court houses when we can all use the same one?” While discussions are ongoing, it’s likely the shared court building would be located in Port Henry — central to the three communities — according to Scozzafava and Crown Point Supervisor Dale French. “We’ve discussed it and the Crown point town board supports the concept,” French said. But while talks are in progress, Moriah and Crown Point are proceeding with plans to upgrade their current court facilities. Moriah is now seeking bids for an addition to the current court house at Park Place in Port Henry. If the joint venture becomes reality, Scozzafava said the addition will be adequate to welcome the Crown Point and Westport courts. “Our (Moriah) court meets two nights a week,” Scozzafava said. “We could easily allow Crown Point and Westport to hold court here.”
French said the Crown Point court, now located in the Miller building, meets once a week. Plans for improvements at the Miller building will continue even as court talks proceed. “The work at the Miller building needs to be done, whether the court stays there or not,” French said. “We’re going to proceed with that work while looking at the joint court proposal. I think it makes a lot of sense.” If the Crown Point court moves, French said, the space at the Miller building can be used to help alleviate over-crowding at the town hall. “The buzz word coming from Albany the past few years has been ‘shared services’,” Scozzafava said. “Do 18 different (Essex County) towns need 18 different court houses? “If we pursue a shared court facility it’ll hopefully open the door to state and federal funding,” he added. Scozzafava said recently the town will use student labor from the Champlain Valley Tech campus in Mineville for the court project. “I think we can do it with the money we’ve received from the (state) Office of Court Administration,” Scozzafava said. “It’ll be a
good experience for the students and it fits our budget.” The state Office of Court Administration has promised Moriah nearly $50,000 for the construction. No one can blame Moriah residents if they’re confused about the court project. Steven Gold of the New York State Office of Court Administration told the Moriah town board in June 2008 the present 12x14 foot room that serves as Moriah town court is inadequate and must be addressed. The town had plans to erect its own modular building to house its court and police department adjacent to the town hall at Park Place in Port Henry. That project was shelved when the cost soared. Originally expected to cost about $170,000, estimates for a new court building reached as high as $500,000 because of state regulations and mandates. Scozzafava believed the final cost would be about $300,000. The town board then considered several other options, ranging from renting existing space to ignoring the state order, before finally deciding to build an addition to the current court house.

Hydrant to be replaced in Moriah
From page 1 the town, that can be considered in the event voters reject dissolving the village. Representatives from the Rochesterbased Center for Governmental Research, which has been engaged to analyze village and town operations and identify ways to make them more effective and efficient, will describe the purpose and Mayor Ernest Guerin scope of the study and answer questions. Members of the committee overseeing the project will also attend and answer questions. The eight-member committee includes representatives from both the village and the town. The committee includes Port Henry Mayor Ernest Guerin, Trustee James Hughes, Walt Wojewodzic and Joseph Celotti ; Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava, Councilman Richard Carpenter, Charlie Bryant and John Boyea. “There are two very important reasons for having this public meeting,” said Vicki Brown, CGR associate director. “We want residents and taxpayers to tell us and the study committee which services and functions they need and expect, and give us their ideas about the best ways to provide them.” Brown noted that CGR, which expects to complete the study by year-end 2009, has 94 years experience conducting management studies for governments of all sizes across New York State, including significant experience with dissolution / consolidation / shared services studies. “We are not starting the study with any preconceived ideas,” she added. “We value the public’s input as we work with the village and town to identify and evaluate cooperation and consolidation alternatives.” “This study is long over due” said Port Henry Mayor, Ernest Guerin. “We are strongly encouraging the public to attend this informational meeting as it will give residents and taxpayers the opportunity to ask questions and get answers.”
PORT HENRY — The town of Moriah Water Department will replace a fire hydrant on the Windy Hill Road on Thursday, Sept. 17, from 8 a.m. until noon.

He loved the church and all the people there. He was an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan and he loved the outdoors, the sunshine, his daily walks, scripture, his cats and spending time with family and friends. Kraig is predeceased by his father Richard White and says goodbye to his wife and best friend of 40 years, Sherry, daughter Heather White and fiancé Jimmy Borthwick of Colchester, son Marc White of Winooski, daughter Lisa Harrison and husband Rick of Essex Junction, grandchildren Jillian White and her boyfriend Lucas Towne, Deven Bora, Carter and Delaney Harrison, his mother, Geraldine White, twin sister Kathy Liddell and husband Joe, brother Kevin White and wife Mary, Randall Henry, Melody Helke and husband Michael, Stacy Dean and husband Alvar, Lori Gauger, Barry Gauger and wife Sharon, Kurt Gauger, many nieces, nephews, wonderful friends, and his beloved kitties, Mitzo and Milo “man” who will miss their early morning feedings and tummy rubs.

Town board, highway primary vote Sept. 15
Republican supervisor faces challenge Bethany Kosmider wants more input
Dale French wants to finish projects
By Fred Herbst

CROWN POINT — Dale French has some unfinished business. “There are a couple of things I want to finish up before I leave office,” the Crown Point supervisor said. “I want to see our water system fixed and the refurbishing of our shoreline. There's work that needs to be done in Monitor Bay.” A Republican, French is seeking his eighth term as town supervisor in the November general election. He’s served the past 14 years as Crown Point’s top elected official. French will face Democrat Bethany Kosmider this November. Crown Point voters will go to the polls in the Sept. 15 primary election, though. Robert Patnode, Walter Worth, incumbent Thomas Walters and Mary DeHart-Ross are vying for two Republican nominations to the town board. Also facing a primary fight is Republican incumbent highway superintendent Eugene “Peanut” Ingleston, who is being challenged by Cory Armstrong. Crown Point Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. Improving the town water system is a priority for French. “The water system is a big problem,” he said. “Part of the system is 115 years old. It’s falling apart.” French said the town is now seeking grant work for the improvements, hoping to secure federal stimulus money. Grant money is a key to any project in Crown Point, French said, since local taxpayers can’t afford major projects. During French’s tenure as supervisor the town has secured $1 million in grant money for water and sewer work, improvements at the town-owned campground and boat launch, landfill closure, park renovation, weed control in Eagle Lake, housing rehabilitation, improvements at the Knapp Se-
CROWN POINT — Bethany Kosmider believes Crown Point residents should be more active in their community. “I’d like to build a greater community spirit,” she said. “I’d like to see Crown Point residents more informed and more involved. That comes with leadership; leadership that I can provide.” Kosmider is running for Crown Point supervisor. She is an independent, who has been endorsed by the Democratic Party. She will face incumbent Republican Supervisor Dale French in the fall general election. Crown Point voters will go to the polls in the Sept. 15 primary election, though. Robert Patnode, Walter Worth, incumbent Thomas Walters and Mary DeHart-Ross are vying for two Republican nominations to the town board. Also facing a primary fight is Republican incumbent highway superintendent Eugene “Peanut” Ingleston, who is being challenged by Cory Armstrong. Crown Point Republicans will also choose a candidate for county sheriff between incumbent Henry Hommes and Michael “Ike” Tyler and county district attorney between incumbent Julie Garcia and Kristy Sprague. Kosmider said the first step to greater community involvement is greater access to local government. If elected, she plans to create a citizens advisory committee to assist the town board. She also wants town meetings televised on local cable TV, wants to develop a town website and promises an open dialogue during town board meetings. A native of Crown Point, Kosmider is a graduate of Crown Point Central School and Kaplan College.

But grant money is just part of the process. “It’s very difficult to do anything in New York State,” French said. “All the agencies — DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation). APA (Adirondack Park Agency), Department of Health, Army Corps of Engineers. You have to take any project through so many levels of government that by the time you get to the actual work you’re exhausted. It’s very difficult.” Keeping local taxes as low as possible remains a priority for French. “People know where I stand,” he said. “We’ve kept taxes down. They’ll probably go down next year, too. “My philosophy has always been that it’s not my money, it belongs to the people and they should keep as much of it as possible,” French said. The supervisor doesn’t plan an active campaign this fall, believing his record speaks for him. “I’m comfortable with what I’ve done and accomplished,” French said. “We’ve kept the town on a good footing; fiscally we’re in good shape. “If that’s not adequate, people should vote for my opponent,” he concluded.
maker Caro Thompson will introduce a one-hour showing of her Emmy Awardwinning documentary, Champlain: The Lake Between, at 1 p.m. in the museum auditorium. It will be followed by a discussion. That weekend will also feature the annual Festival of Nations Sept. 17 - 19 at the Crown Point State Historic Site. The Festival of Nations celebrates the cultural heritage of the nations which, during the 1700s, left a lasting imprint on the Lake Champlain Valley: Canada, France, Great Britain, Native American Indian tribes, and the United States. Included are elements of national heritage including music, crafts, food, dance, games, family activities, clothing, folk life, and customs. Friday, Sept. 18, special pro-

Bethany Kosmider is in decline; taxpayers are complaining about problems and taxes. I want to put my training and knowledge to work for the people.” Kosmider believes Crown Point is missing many opportunities to receive grant funding, particularly money available through the federal stimulus program. “We need to better utilize the grant system,” she said. “There are a lot of projects that need to be done, but not at (local) taxpayer expense. We need to start applying for these grants.” Kosmider also wants to see “rejuvenation and restoration” come to the community. She wants to rejuvenate the local economy by attracting jobs while restoring the hamlet area and beach. “Crown Point can be appealing to a business, we just have to market it,” she said. Kosmider expressed concern about growing town government and promises to be fiscally conservative. At the same time, she wants to look forward. “You need to look to the future, you can’t just be a caretaker doing the same thing year-after-year,” Kosmider said. “I want the community to be proactive.” It’s time for change in Crown Point, she said. “I think new blood and change are good,” Kosmider said. “It’s time for some new ideas and a fresh look at things.” More information on Kosmider is available online at www.bethanykosmider.com
The region’s Champlain quadricentennial celebration will conclude at the Crown Point State Historic Site and Campground. The New York State Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission will mark the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s discovery of the lake that bears his name in ceremonies Saturday, Sept. 19, beginning at 4 p.m. There will be activities from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. gramming for visiting school groups will be offered at Crown Point State Historic Site and aboard the Lois McClure replica schooner which will be docked at Crown Point Reservation Campground’s renovated steamboat dock. That morning, “Samuel Champlain” (portrayed by Don Thompson) will twice present, under a large tent at the New York State historic site, an educational program about his life and his excursion on Lake Champlain 400 years ago. And vocalist and instrumentalist Linda Russell will perform, in a covered pavilion at the New York State historic site, two morning concerts of authentic music familiar to Lake Champlain inhabitants during the 1700s. The public festival is co-hosted by Chimney Point (Vt.) State
Historic Site, Crown Point Reservation Campground, and Crown Point State Historic Site. The Crown Point State Historic Site provides visitors with a glimpse at life in the Champlain Valley 250 years ago. The site is home to two former 18th Century forts, the French Fort St. Frederic and the British Fort Crown Point, as well as a museum and visitors center. The historic site museum is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Monday and closed on Tuesday. Admission fee is $3 for people ages 1261, $1 for those ages 5-11 and $2 for those age 62 and older. A $5-per-vehicle fee is collected at the entrance 9 a.m. – 5p.m. weekends and holidays. Construction of Fort St. Frederic was complete by 1734. It in-
cluded a four-story high tower, commander’s quarters, canon, a powder magazine, bakery and other buildings surrounded by an outer stone parapet wall that was nearly square and had six corner bastions covering about an acre. It was the base of three major French operations until July 1, 1759, when the British forced its 200-man garrison to blow up the tower and retreat. The British did not build a new fort on top of the French ruins. Instead they took three years to construct a new fort, Fort Crown Point, adjacent. A stone and timber fortress, the new fort was a half mile in circumference and shaped like a pentagon. The parade ground covered six acres and contained three stone, two-story barracks, a guard house and an armory.
The 40-foot high outer wall was 22-feet thick of timber and limestone, making it Britain’s greatest military installation in North America. Fort Crown Point was the launching point for British forces that brought about the surrender of Montreal in 1760. The fort was destroyed April 23, 1775, when a fire ignited the powder magazine and its 100 barrels of powder causing a huge explosion. Americans captured the remains of the fort May 11, 1775, and its 111 canon. They transported 29 of the canon overland to Boston to lift the British siege.

Vikings win opener; Ticonderoga defeated Moriah dominated the action as it beat Bellows Falls, Vt., 20-0, in non-league football action Sept. 4. The Vikings used a methodical ground game to chew up yardage and time as they scored on all three of their first half possessions. At the same time, the Moriah defense held Bellows falls to 83 yards total offense and no points. Moriah got a 9-yard TD run from Nate Gilbo to open the scoring. Gilbo then hit Tom Tesar with a 15-yard touchdown pass, before Ron Schofield closed the scoring with a 11-yard run to pay dirt. Ryan Mascarenas booted a pair of extra points for Moriah. Moriah ran for 254 yards in the game, led by Schofield’s 131. Nick Gilbo added 61 yards on the ground and Nate Gilbo ran for 22. Beekmantown 44, Ticonderoga 12

Ticonderoga’s youth and inexperience was evident as the Sentinels fell to Beekmantown, 44-12, in Northern Football Conference play Sept. 4. Ti, which lost 23 players to graduation this spring, suffered from a pair of fumbles, missed tackles and other mistakes. Beekmantown scored on seven of its first eight possessions as it cruised to victory. The Eagles struck early, scoring on a 51-yard TD pass from Carter Frechette to Luke Weaver on its second play from scrimmage. Ticonderoga fumbled on its next possession and Beekmantown’s Frechette immediately threw a 10-yard scoring strike to Evan Bull. The Sentinels fumbled again on their next possession, setting up a 4-yard TD run by Frechette. It was 19-0 and Ticonderoga had barely run a play. The Ticonderoga offense settled down in the second quarter, managing a pair of TDs. Quarterback Robert Kearns broke free for a 36-yard TD run as Ti made it 19-6. After another Beekmantown score, Kearns returned a kick off into enemy territory to set up a Ticonderoga touchdown. Bryant Austin reached pay dirt from 2 yards away. Beekmantown closed out the scoring with a pair of second half TDs.

Running
Soldier to ‘shadow’ Schroon race in Afghanistan SCHROON LAKE — U.S. Army Lt. Donald (DJ) Dryer, at Task Force Warrior Safety in Afghanistan, will mirror the Adirondack Marathon, all 26.2 miles, Sept. 20. He will not have crowds of cheering spectators or hundreds of fellow runners to accompany him or a scenic, undulating path around Schroon Lake. But he will have the silent well-wishes and grateful thanks of a nation. “Shadow Run”s have grown popular in remote Middle Eastern military outposts. Shadow runs typically supply participants with bib numbers, commemorative tee shirts, award medals and, thanks to computer technology, a virtual cheering squad. While they are usually synchronized to begin at the exact time as the main event, safety occasionally overrides exactitude. Dryer began his career in 1993 when he joined the Navy. He has since served in the Navy and the Army in both Active Duty and the Reserves in intelligence, special forces and infantry. He is presently an Inactive Reserve Officer assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division working as the Theater Ground Safety Officer in Kandahar, Afghanistan. A Florida resident, Dryer ’s wife and daughter are waiting out his tour in Ft. Rucker, Ala. In the military, running is a fact of life, which is OK with Dryer. “Nowadays, I actually enjoy the quiet time while I jog,” he said. “I am not in a hurry and it is relaxing. I have always run for the military. Now I run for me. “I run a marathon a week,” Dryer said. “I know that is insane, but I have scheduled them all the way through the rest of my tour.” So unlike his stateside counterparts, Dryer ’s Adirondack Marathon is merely one stop on his grand tour. Dryer ’s current route consists of three loops around the airfield plus a few side trips down auxiliary roads, so he is not subjected to endless laps around a constrained area. While his course bears little resemblance to the Adirondack Marathon’s “probably the most beautiful 26 miles, 385 yards you’ll ever run,” it does have that mountain feel, starting at an altitude of 4,000 feet. With his 3 a.m. start to avoid the early morning 105 degree temperatures, Dryer is treated to a beautiful sunrise over a Pakistani mountain range 100 miles distant. And then there’s the very real threat of danger adding an extra dimension to the run. Dryer carries a cell phone to “defend” himself and is always cognizant of the minutes per mile to the next available bunker. Through his weekly marathon lineup, Dryer has corresponded with race directors and participants as well as received training advice and much needed encouragement. “Joel (Friedman, Adirondack Marathon race director) jumped at the idea of letting me run,” Dryer said. “He has sent me a dozen emails of encouragement and that is one of the nice parts about doing this.” The 13th annual Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival will take place on Sept. 19 and 20. On Saturday a 5 and 10K run benefiting the Helper ’s Fund will be contested in Chestertown at 9:30 a.m. New this year on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Schroon Lake will be a 1K Kids Fun Run that will start at the marathon finish line at the town beach park. Throughout the day a Runner ’s Expo is held at the Schroon Lake School. The marathon and marathon relay will start on Sunday at 8:50 a.m. on Main Street in Schroon Lake. The half marathon will begin in Adirondack at 10 a.m. For more information go online at www.adirondackmarathon.org
Schroon From page 1 The Fun Run will begin near the Adirondack Marathon Finish Line (Leland Avenue in Schroon Lake) and will end by crossing the actual Adirondack Marathon Finish Line. The entrance fee is $10 that will include a T- shirt and medal for each runner. There is on-line registration at http://www.adirondackmarathon.org The half marathon is closed with a field of 400 runners, while about 300 runners are expected in the full marathon. The marathon has been recommended by Runner’s World magazine as one of “Eight Great Events to Kick Off the Fall Racing Season.” The race was also listed in the book From Fairbanks to Boston, 50 Great U.S. Marathons as one of the top 50 races in the country. Prevention Magazine listed the Schroon race as one of the best “walker-friendly” events in the country. The marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, will start at 9 a.m. on Main Street in Schroon Lake. The single loop course circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon Lake town beach. This will be the final year for the course, which will be changed in 2010, according to Joel Friedman, race director. The course records in the marathon belong to David Herr, who ran the race in 2 hours, 36 minutes, 55 seconds, and Simone Stoeppler, who toured the course in 3:04:08. Bill Schwarz holds the hand cyclist mark of 1:45:32. People who wish to walk the marathon course can get started at 7 a.m. The course will remain open until 3 p.m. The marathoners have company over the second half of the course as the half marathoners will toe the starting line in Adirondack at 10 a.m. to race to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later. The course records in the half marathon belong to Eric Blake, who ran it in 1:10:43, and Annette Acuff, who was clocked in 1:23:13. The Taiko drummers will be performing Sunday near the finish line. Marathon weekend begins on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 9:30 a.m. with 5 and 10-kilometer runs through the streets of Chestertown. Beginning and ending at the Chester Municipal
Ticonderoga’s Dave Burrows has entered the Adirondack Marathon. Center, Helpers Fund director Carl Lamm is hoping for more than 300 runners this year. Individual racers as well as teams can register on Friday, Sept. 19, from 7 to 9 p.m. or Saturday morning from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the municipal center. Also participating will be about 500 volunteers, who will man aid stations along the courses and work the finish area. Packet pick up for marathon and half marathon racers will be Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Schroon Lake Central School. At the same time there will be a running expo as well as local craft vendors. There will be a pasta dinner, open to runners and others, that night at 5:30 at Word of Life. Tickets are available at the expo and at the door.

OUTDOORS • TIMES OF TI - 23
pings in nine out of the 12 waters I visited. Obviously, others are seeing moose as well, a point illustrated by the nearly two dozen state road signs posted across the park. In places such as Newcomb, Indian Lake, Bloomingdale or Inlet, the sight of a moose is no longer considered an unusual occurrence.
Moose still on the loose! M
oose, the largest animal species in the park were extirpated for over a century, yet they have always been considered an iconic, ‘landscape species.’ Since the 1970’s, moose have been entering New York state on a continuous basis. The New York's moose population is now firmly established and large enough to be considered secure. Moose have become so common that the NYSDEC no longer solicits nor collects reported sightings. Officials explain that the continued collection of this data will no longer contribute in a substantial or cost-effective way. “People don’t even bother to call them in anymore,” explained Ken Kogut a wildlife biologist with DEC Region 6. “I guess the novelty has worn off.” Currently, DEC biologists estimate that there are more than 500 moose in the park and that the population is increasing at about the same rate as Vermont's, about 1015 percent per year. “We believe that moose have become reestablished to a point where a threshold has been reached to enable a breeding population to exist,” explained Ed Reid, a DEC Wildlife Biologist with Region 5.
The Seasons Since the 1990’s, park residents have become increasingly aware of the presence of moose in the park. They’ve found moose scat and tracks, or watched them in the water or along the highways.
Despite an increase in the number of sightings during the fall, moose are still in the process of restablishing a population on the Adirondacks. Photo by Eric Granger
Moose scat, which resembles an oversized gum drop in shape, can be found in ponds and lakes stretching from the West Canada Lakes to the St. Regis Area to the Five Ponds Wilderness. The droppings can usually be found along the pond’s bottom in four to six feet of water where moose commonly feast on water plants such as lillypads, arrowheads, cattails or similar tubers. The droppings are easily recognizable due to their size, quantity and light, tan color which stands out against a pond’s mucky bottom. Last year, over the final weekend of the trout season, I discovered moose drop-
The Animal Moose are primarily active during the morning and evening hours, but they often switch to a nocturnal life during the summer, when insect harassment is at its peak. Sightings increase as the rut begins in the late summer and continues through the early fall. During the rutting season, a bull moose covers upwards of 70 miles in a day searching for a mate. Moose travel at about 9 mph, but they can double that speed in a gallop for a short distance. They are also extremely proficient swimmers and have been known to cross Lake Champlain. The rut begins in August as bulls begin shedding antler velvet. The bellow to produce sounds similar to groans. Similar to whitetail deer rubs, moose also break branches, strip bark, or tangle with bushes. The bell, a hairy skin flap under the jaw, is their scent distribution organ. It is splashed with urine when bulls dig rutting pits. It serves to attract females, which are greatly attracted to bull moose scent. From August to mid October, during rut, females come to heat every 18–21 days. Moose reach sexual maturity at one and a half years, bulls mate from an age of two and a half years. After one to two days together, a mating pair parts and the bull begins searching for another female.
Observe with a wary eye Moose are unique and exciting animals to observe. They can frequently be found in wetland areas with streams or lakes with nearby poplar, maple or coniferous forests. While moose have been observed throughout the day, the peak hours of dawn
or dusk are usually best for viewing wildlife. While moose are fairly tolerant of humans, all wildlife should be viewed and photographed from a safe distance. People should exercise caution when around these large and powerful animals. Efforts must be ensured that observation is done carefully. Make no mistake, moose are dangerous animals. Weighing up to 1,500 pounds, standing 6-1/2 feet at the shoulder, with long legs, sharp hooves and impressive antlers; moose will attack a human. The most dangerous time of the year to meet up with a cow moose is in the spring and early summer when they may have young calves. Use common sense and never walk between a moose and its calf. When traveling in moose country, dogs should be left home. Moose have an instinctive fear of canines and even a leashed dog may agitate a moose and provoke a charge or an attack. Males act aggressively, especially during the fall breeding season when they may perceive you as a threat or potential competitor. Bull moose have been known to tangle with a train locomotive, so a human being presents very little danger. Signs of moose aggression include the animal walking toward you, laying back its ears, stomping the ground, licking its nose, swinging its head from side to side while the hair on the back of its neck is standing on end. If a moose is acting aggressive, abnormally or seems disturbed by your presence, back away slowly and leave the area. If charged, run and try to get a tree, vehicle or other large object between you and the moose. Should you encounter a moose be sure to back off a bit and give it plenty of room. Always back away slowly and calmly. Remember, dangerous wildlife encounters are nearly always caused by a foolish decision on the part of humans. Use your head, rather than your feet, to avoid a confrontation. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net

Beware of deceptive Web site There is a deceptive website out that is posing as HUD. This website tries to dupe people into giving out personal information (known as “phishing”) - and because they’ve made their site appear to be an “official us government website,” some people may fall prey to this scam. The website is: http://bailout.hud-gov.us/ The Inspector General has been notified, and is investigating.
Assistive devices These devices can be very helpful in making a lift or transfer easier and in preventing injuries, however, these items require a prescription, and the caregiver should be trained by a therapist or nurse before using them. • Transfer Belt - Placed around the waist of a person and used to secure the person while walking. • Transfer board (sliding board) - A polished board used to slide a person when moving from one place to another; for example, from bed to wheelchair or commode. • Trapeze - A metal bar suspended over a bed that the person can grab to pull up in bed or to assist with turning in bed or coming to a seated position. • Mechanical lift - Also called a hydraulic lift or known as a Hoyer lift. A canvas sling is placed under the person as he lies in bed, then attached to the lift with straps. The caregiver starts the lift (electronically or by hydraulics), which secures the sling around the person and lifts him off the bed. The position of the sling can then be adjusted and the person transferred into a chair. REMEMBER....... Get proper training before using a transfer belt, transfer board, trapeze or mechanical lift.
A useful tool Handybar is an inexpensive option for helping seniors with limited strength or mobility enter or exit a vehicle with greater ease and is affordable - $39.95. The Handybar requires no installation or vehicle modification to work. All you need to do is place one end into the door stroker plate - the U-shaped latch that is located alongside the car door seam - and grip the handle. The door stroker plate’s purpose is to withstand a side-impact collision and, as such, is a very sturdy piece of your car ’s hardware. The Handybar works by allowing two points of contact: both the interior door panel and the Handybar can have weight placed on them while rising from or coming into a seated position. The Handybar can be exceptionally helpful for: • cars which are low to the ground • SUVs that ride higher up • seniors with arthritis • seniors with back, hip and/or knee problems • anyone currently recovering from an accident or surgery If you are interested in ordering or would like more information, call (888) 738-0611 (Information provided by Gilbert Guide)
