TICONDEROGA — A Veterans Day observance will be held on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cemetery on Alexandria Avenue in Ticonderoga. People are invited to join Bill Dolback and others for a walk through the cemetery with planned stops at selected sites where individual veterans from the Civil War up to the modern conflicts will be remembered and honored by friends and family members. The ceremony will close with the playing of Taps by Zech Yaw, evoking the final farewell to fallen comrades. The memory walk is the third annual celebration with Mount Hope and Chilson Community Cemeteries having been the locales in the past. The events are sponsored by the Ticonderoga Historical Society, the Town of Ticonderoga Historian and the Town of Ticonderoga Cemetery Board as a tribute to veterans, to honor them for the sacrifices they have made in their lives to keep our country free. Veterans Day is an annual American holiday, recognized by federal, state and local governments, set aside to honor and remember the military men and women who have served America, in any war and peacetime.

Commuters want state DOT to move on Champlain span By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — After a shift as a police officer in Shelburne, Vt., Bruce Beuerlein used to relax during his hour drive home to Ticonderoga. No more. With the Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point closed, Beuerlein is now faced with worries about his route home. Will the lines at the ferry be shorter than the 90-mile detour through Whitehall? And what about the next day? He can’t afford to be late for work. “Betrayed,” Beuerlein said when asked his feelings on the bridge closure. “That’s how I feel.” He’s not alone. Bill Buell, a Crown Point resident who also depends on the bridge to get to and from work, has called for everyone associated with the span to be fired. Mark Alford of Port Henry, another commuter, has suggested people file lawsuits against the state for

The public is invited to attend the meeting at 5 p.m. at the Schroon town hall. “In May of 2008 a small committee of Schroon Lakers began meeting with Egret Communication,s who contracted with the Essex County Lake Placid Visitors Bureau to guide our committee in a planning project designed to engineer future

tourism for the town of Schroon,” explained Roger Friedman, town trustee and committee chairman. Friedman the process included some “dreaming” as well as facing the challenge of practical matters. The culmination is an action plan that includes the designation of responsible parties and timetables for action.

“Party is the madness of many for the gain of a few!” – Alexander Pope

Registered Voters of Essex County! The role of a prosecutor is to seek truth - not misrepresent or bury it. Honesty and experience matter. Re-Elect DA Garcia, the candidate with a proven record of success and leadership.

Retired Supreme Court Justice James Dawson said; “A New York State District Attorney has more discretionary authority than any state officer other than the Governor. District Attorney Julie Garcia has wisely exercised that discretion during her term in office and during her campaign. As a former criminal court judge in Essex County I appreciate the wisdom Julie brings to the job. I fully support her re-election.

Facts Concerning District Attorney Julie Garcia Allegation: “Continued mismanagement and waste of taxpayers’ dollars”. FACT: 2005 – DA Ron Briggs spent $590,000 to run the DA’s office 2008 – DA Garcia spent $483,697 to run the DA’s office This fact can be checked through the Treasurer’s Office, your Supervisor or the Essex County Finance Chair. Allegation: “The current DA’s office has the largest staff ever”. FACT: 2005 – DA Briggs staff – 6 lawyers - 11 total employees 2008 – DA Garcia staff – 5 lawyers - 8 total employees This fact can be checked through your Supervisor or Essex County Government Center. Allegation: “The absence of a proven prosecutor has given Essex County one of the lowest conviction and highest dismissal rates in our history”. FACT: Felony Cases - Check The Facts www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us (Click on statistics) 2004 – DA Briggs – 166 Felony cases prosecuted – 13.9% dismissed 2008 – DA Garcia – 191 Felony cases prosecuted – 2.6% cases dismissed 2004 – DA Briggs – Felony conviction rate – 76.5% 2008 – DA Garcia – Felony Conviction Rate – 89% Violent Felony Cases - Check The Facts www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us (Click on statistics) 2004 – DA Briggs – Violent Felony Convictions – 24 cases – 58% convicted – 14.3% offenders received state prison sentence. 2008 – DA Garcia – Violent Felony Convictions – 39 cases – 94.9% convicted -37.8% offenders received state prison sentence. Drug Dealers - Check The Facts www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us (Click on statistics) 2004 – DA Briggs – 11.8% drug dealers prosecuted sent to prison 2008 – DA Garcia – 45.5% drug dealers prosecuted sent to prison Allegation: “Republicans previously endorsing our current DA have waited the past three years for her appearance in the county courtroom. There have been very few”. FACT: DA Garcia has appeared in county court over 300 times on felony cases. She is in Ticonderoga court most Wednesdays. Her chief assistant has covered about 400 cases – they divide the felony caseload. Ticonderoga Court has more cases than any other town in the county – 25% of the caseload is in Ti. Less than 2% of the cases actually go to trial – Ms. Sprague knows this! This information can be requested through Essex County Court or the Ticonderoga Justice Court Allegation: “During the current DA’s term, there have been 13 confirmed dismissals for defective Grand Jury presentments”. FACT: Ms. Sprague will not provide the case names for the 13 dismissals she continually talks about although this information has been requested by Ms. Garcia. A number of cases dismissed by Judge Meyer have been reinstated on appeal. If Ms. Sprague would provide the case names for these so-called dismissals, transcripts could be read to determine the facts. MANY false allegations have been made by the Sprague campaign - these are the easiest for you to check out.

Based on facts, not emotions or political party affiliation, it is clear that Ms. Garcia deserves our vote to continue doing the job we elected her to do.

Retired Essex County Judge Andrew Halloran said; “During my tenure as Essex County Criminal Court Judge and Family Court Judge, Julie Garcia appeared before me on numerous occasions. She was always well prepared and a zealous advocate for her clients. She is a highly skilled, honest, and ethical attorney. All of us in Essex County should feel privileged to have Julie Garcia serving as our District Attorney. I strongly support her re-election to that office.” Retired Essex County Judge Charles Garvey said; “I admire the tenacity that DA Garcia has shown over the last four years in her role as Essex County District Attorney. Julie has managed her campaign with the same dignity that she has shown as our District Attorney. She is an effective public servant. She is not afraid to fight for the people she so humbly serves.”

Ferry available for free while bridge is closed State to pick up the tab for commuters By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Commuters to Vermont can now use the Ticonderoga ferry for free. Gov. David Paterson announced Oct. 26 New York and Vermont have reached an agreement with the Fort Ticonderoga Ferry operator to offer free ferry service between Ticonderoga and Shoreham, Vt. He also announced a deal with Lake Champlain Transportation to offer free ferry service at the Essex/Charlotte crossing and the creation of a free express bus service. In addition, pedestrian ferry service has been established north of the Lake Champlain Bridge between Westport, New York and Basin Harbor, Vermont. “Gov. (jim) Douglas and I continue to work diligently on both sides of the lake to offer transportation alternatives to New York and Vermont residents who have been impacted by the closure of the Champlain Bridge,” Paterson said. “We will continue to

ks r o W t h g Li

work with Vermont to find temporary solutions for crossing Lake Champlain and longer-term solutions for reopening the bridge to traffic.” New York and Vermont will subsidize the free ferry service for passenger vehicles, motorcycles, buses, fuel trucks and standard-width agricultural vehicles, including dairy trucks. The express commuter bus service will transport workers between two parking locations in New York to Porter Medical Center and Middlebury College in Middlebury and the B.F. Goodrich plant in Vergennes. The two-hour bus trips will run Monday through Friday, with morning pick ups and evening drop offs occurring at the Fort Ticonderoga Ferry site and the boat launch on Dock Lane in Port Henry. Buses will depart New York at 5:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. each morning and will depart Vermont at 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. each evening. A pedestrian ferry is operating between Westport and Basin Harbor, Vt. Parking is available at no charge at the Essex County Fairgrounds and complementary shuttle bus service will transport pedestrian passengers to the ferry. Parking is also available at the Basin Harbor Club in Vermont.

Is this the year Ti turns to the future? Fraternal group has Ti history One needs to know the candidates’ stand on these issues as well as how they intend to lead us forward in the future. Will they make a hard decision if they need or will they try to appease the public? Is this the year we turn or is just another popularity contest vote?

To the Times of Ti:

One would wonder... As another election is nearly here one would wonder what the voters on Ticonderoga really want for a town government. We have a slate of candidates running for town offices — supervisor, councilmen. One might wonder what they stand for. Ticonderoga has many issues facing it in

the future — water, sewer, police protection, taxes not to mention the need here for good town manager.

William McCaughin Ticonderoga

A clear choice for Ti town supervisor To the Times of Ti: We are fortunate in Ticonderoga to have two good candidates running for town supervisor. However one candidate, Robert “Chooch” Dechame, is exceedingly well qualified. He has a broadness and depth of experience that make his opponent’s qualifications pale into insignificance by comparison. His education includes a political science degree from Fordham University and a

law degree from Temple University . He has represented major business clients at both the state and federal level and understands what it takes to attract new business to Ticonderoga. In short, he has the know how and the git go to get the job done. Sloan Jones Ticonderoga

family and I resided just east of St. Paul, Minn. My wife and two sons were very excited to learn that I had been hired by the college and we would be moving to a beautiful part of the country and be much closer to my wife’s family in New Hampshire. It was a lot of work packing our home of nine years into boxes and setting out across the eastern part of the country. It was an adventure with the common stresses associated with any family move. New places, new faces, new job and new friends. Any time one of us felt that the stress was getting the best of us, another would smile and point at the mountains and new scenery. We decided to purchase a home in Port Henry. A bit of a drive yes, but the affordability factor was the deciding point. We signed my sons up for youth hockey in Middlebury. After all, we did move from the St. Paul area where playing hockey is a right of passage. Not only that, my sons love it and live for it. A beautiful home, happy kids in a new school with hockey a week

away, a great job, a happy wife and peace. Then bam! The bridge closes. Without warning or remorse, the powers in charge of an ailing bridge changed me and my family forever. A new home that I haven’t even had the chance to make one payment on yet, a commute that is now 90 miles each way, a canceled hockey season for what are now two very disappointed boys, and a wife ready for a nervous breakdown. No answers come. Only more questions. My wife asks, “What will happen to us?” My sons ask if they can move back home. I ask ‘“Why?” I know that we are the casualties of the bridge and the bureaucrats. We are statistics. I thank the college in all of their efforts to ease the pain. If only the government cared as much. My shift at work makes using the ferry impossible. When winter comes the drive will be even harder. There are no easy answers. Pray for us.

he Knights of the Maccabes was a fraternal organization formed in 1878 in Ontario, Canada. The group’s fraternal aspects took a back seat to providing low cost insurance to members. In the society’s early years it also provided the final expense related benefits such as society cemeteries. In 1926 they established their headquarters at the Maccabees Building in downtown Detroit. In 1986, a new building replaced their second home in Southfield, Mich. In 1941, the group gained control of The Michigan Union Life Association, furthering its transformation from a benefit society into a modern legal-reserve insurance co. In 1962 the group changed its name to Maccabees Mutual Life Ins. Co. and in 1997 its parent company, Royal and Son alliance Financial Services, took over most of the coverage. Royal Maccabees no longer exists as an insurance company. The Knights of the Maccabees and The Lady Maccabees Ticonderoga Tent, met in the Maccabee Hall in the Hathaway Block during the last 10 years of the 19th Century. Meetings were often on Sunday afternoons but card parties, dances, masquerade balls, 10 cent suppers, sleigh and hay rides and smokers for men were held all year long. Annual ox-roasts were a much anticipated event. This was a fraternal and benevolent legal reserve society (insurance). People in sound health, good character, age birth to 70 years were eligible for membership. When a member died, each living member was assessed 10 cents to go into a fund to provide the widow $1,000.00. Disability benefits were also available to members. No records of the Maccabees in Ticonderoga are found after the 1930s. This series of articles is compliments of Ticonderoga Heritage Museum, located in the 1888 building at the entrance of Bicentennial Park.

The coupon often shows various other brands or products sold by the same manufacturer. I recently had a coupon offering a free package of hot dogs if the shopper purchased three other items from the same manufacturer. During the sale at my store, the hot dogs were on sale for $3.99. If the total By Jill Cataldo cost of the three additional items is less than the sale price of the hot dogs, I'll get the hot dogs cheaper than I could have purchased them otherwise - plus, I'll have three additional items to take home as part of the deal, too. When I spot coupons like these, I will look closely at the additional brands featured. I do not necessarily think about whether I want or need these items. Instead, I calculate what would be the least expensive thing to buy to make the larger item cost as little as possible. The additional products with the hot dog deal included coffee, crackers, condiments, gelatin desserts and powdered drink mixes. Of those items, the gelatin desserts and powdered drink mixes seemed like the best candidates. They're both usually pretty inexpensive, and buying three of either will qualify me for my free $3.99 package of hot dogs. After checking the prices on both, I saw that the gelatin was on sale for 33 cents a box. I could pay 99 cents for three boxes and get a free package of hot dogs, too! Not bad at all. But then I checked the price on powdered drink mixes.

They were on sale for 10 cents each! Whether I plan to drink them or not, buying 3 packets of drink mix became my means for acquiring the $3.99 package of hot dogs for just 30 cents! In my coupon classes, I refer to this as the "take one for the team" couponing strategy. Sometimes it's necessary to buy something we don't necessarily want because it's our means to acquire the item we actually do want for a much lower price. Here's another example. I recently saw tear pads of coupons in the produce department of my store near the salads. The coupons provided $2 off produce when you purchased any of a certain manufacturer's salad dressing. I looked at that brand of salad dressing and realized that the manufacturer makes both bottled salad dressings and the dry seasoning that come in a small packet, the kind you mix at home with oil and vinegar. The packets of seasoning cost 79 cents. So, for each packet of the salad dressing I purchased, I used one of the coupons. I was able to buy $2 worth of fresh produce for 79 cents. I didn't necessarily want the salad dressing, but it allowed me to purchase my produce items at a much lower cost. Next week, I'll answer some more reader mail and we'll take a brief break from coupon tips to discuss the best way to organize all of the coupons that we receive each week in the newspaper.

Town board seats also on Nov. 3 ballot

Ticonderoga to elect new supervisor Robert Pell deChame on Democrat line

Debra Malaney carrying GOP banner

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA — Robert Pell deChame has high hopes for Ticonderoga. “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 our community.” Pell deChame, nicknamed “Chooch,” is running for Ticonderoga supervisor as a Democrat in the Nov. 3 general election. He’s opposed by Republican Debra Malaney. Incumbent Supervisor Bob Dedrick is not seeking re-election. Also on the Nov. 3 general election ballot in Ticonderoga will be a battle for two town board seats. Republicans Jeffrey Cook and Steven Whitford are running along with independent Robert Thatcher. Whitford and Thatcher are incumbents. Ticonderoga will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican 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 brain-

TICONDEROGA — Debra Malaney hopes to be the next 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.” Malaney is running on the Republican line for supervisor against Democrat Robert Pell-deChame in the Nov. 3 general election. Incumbent Supervisor Bob Dedrick is not seeking re-election. Also on the Nov. 3 general election ballot in Ticonderoga will be a battle for two town board seats. Republicans Jeffrey Cook and Steven Whitford are running along with independent Robert Thatcher. Whitford and Thatcher are incumbents. Ticonderoga will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican 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

Robert Pell deChame power 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.”

Debra Malaney 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. The future is bright for the community, Malaney 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.”

Carillon Garden Club to sell holiday wreaths TICONDEROGA — The members of the Carillon Garden Club of Ticonderoga and Hague are taking orders now for their annual holiday wreath sale. A tradition for many years, the sale of holiday wreaths has become the club’s main source of revenue to enable the club to carry out its activities and community beautification projects. “Sincere appreciation is extended to the many businesses and individuals who have purchased wreaths in the past and renewed their orders again this year,” said Betty Rettig of the garden club.

New orders will be accepted until Nov. 4 by calling wreath chairwoman Jackie Viestenz at 546-9855 or Rettig at 585-7247. Wreaths are made locally and are available in 12-inch, 18-inch and 36-inch sizes. Orders may be placed for plain wreaths, wreaths with a red or burgundy bow only or wreaths decorated with cones, berries and a bow. Club members individualize each decorated wreath and make the bows. Wreaths ordered by Nov. 4 will be delivered starting Nov. 17. The Carillon Garden Club is a member of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York

State, District IV. Meetings are held monthly except January and February, generally on the third Thursday at 11 a.m. at the Hague Community Center on Route 8 in Hague. New members are welcome. Besides a busi-

ness meeting and lunch, members enjoy special programs related to gardening, conservation, floral design, etc. For more information about the club, contact President Joyce Cooper at 585-2640.

St. Mary’s School eighth grade students spent 24 hours as a soldier at Fort Ticonderoga this fall. Students made their clothes, slept, cooked, ate, drilled and marched like soldiers did over 200 years ago.

OPINION • TIMES OF TI - 13

Garcia cares about people To the Times of Ti: I am sorry I didn’t write prior to the primaries! There are facets about D.A. (Julie) Garcia that people should know before they vote in November. Since D.A. Garcia has practiced law in Essex County, I have had direct involvement with her professionally — on both sides. When she was an assigned counsel she fought hard for her client despite being “only an assigned counsel.” Frankly, I hated her at that point because she was relentless in her pursuit of justice! You see, I was on the other side. However, what I can appreciate now is that she tried to get her client help. She did not try to get her client out of any responsibility. My involvement with her as D.A.

has been nothing but positive. She really and truly cares about my family and I, even though she has nothing to gain. I live in Washington County and can’t even vote for her. D.A. Garcia has kept us informed about everything that has gone on. Ms. Garcia has continually educated us about the legal process we were involved in. To this day, D.A. Garcia remembers us wherever and whenever we run into each other. I know that I am not just a number. Working in a public school, I know how important young people are and I fight to help them be the best they can be. For the first time I can remember, a D.A. actually is trying to help keep people alive by sending messages against underage drinking and drunk driving. In a town where

there has been so much death in the past two years I am shocked to see that people would not vote for a person who is doing what she can to help families in Ticonderoga, and surrounding areas, keep their families whole! I am tired of people dying from avoidable circumstances, like drunk driving and underage drinking. Aren’t you? People will always put their spin on statistics, but I can not stay silent any more — Julie Garcia cares about people and the job she does! This is refreshing in light of all the negativity in the world today! Please remember this when you vote in November. Jodi Drinkwine Putnam Station

Know where the candidates stand To the Times of Ti: Here we go again! Yet another election to gauge the political winds of our region and the nation. There are several local races that have significance such as town supervisor, town councilman, district attorney and congressman. All of these are important for one vital reason that

“we the people” get to decide. But before we decide I would like to urge people to really take stock of what they believe in; not so much who they believe in. If you take inventory of your beliefs a voter is less likely to be fooled by the ones running for office. I’ve had a few discussions with people who have

voiced their opinion on a particular issue, and to my amazement have still voted for a candidate who stands directly opposite of that opinion. How does this happen, I ask? Our founding fathers took the task of crafting a Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights seriously. It is the least we could do to ed-

ucate and take stock of ourselves as we continue the greatest experiment of freedom and justice the world has ever known. Please take stock of yourself first and then go vote. God bless us all. John P. Sharkey Ticonderoga

Vote Sprague for county DA To the Times of Ti: Regarding the office of Essex County District Attorney, first and foremost is the fact that the state requires all counties to pay a substantial salary for the DA position. During the past four years have the Essex County taxpayers received what they have paid for when you look at the failure on the part of the current DA to act in a timely manner to meet court deadlines and prosecute cases? How many cases have not been prosecuted due to the lack of effort on the part of the DA? Why are we watching cases being thrown out of court because the DA was unprepared? Referring to personal experience of several people who have submitted letters to the editor during the past few months, four years with Julie Garcia as DA has resulted in a highly unsatisfactory results. On the other hand, people from many professions have given a personal account in the paper of the hard-working, diligent efforts of Kristy Sprague in her role as a high achieving assistant district attorney for the past 11 years. A most often used phrase to describe Kristy has been “she certainly has integrity.” I favor this type of individual for the position of Essex County District Attorney. My vote on Nov. 3, without question, will be for Kristy Sprague.

Garcia demonstrates proven character To the Times of Ti: Once again on Nov. 3 we, as American citizens, will be privileged to exercise one of our many liberties, as we participate in the playing out of the Democratic process by going to the polls and casting our votes to elect our chosen officials. These are the individuals in whom we place our trust to fulfill the responsibilities of their elected office by serving their constituents with justice and equity, and we have the right to expect them to be a person of proven character and integrity, who consider it a high honor to be awarded that sacred trust. The challenging times in which we now live demand a deeper commitment on the part of these public servants to honesty, integrity and the highest ethical standard. In the current race for District Attorney of Essex County the incumbent, Democratic-endorsed candidate Julie Garcia has a proven record of the above. She is a person of character, not only in her chosen profession but in her per-

sonal and family life, as well. Consistently she has chosen the “high road” in difficult and challenging circumstances. Also, in her very public life, she has refused to stoop to name calling or character/political assassination of those that attack or oppose her. Her personal and political record bear witness to her consistent high-ethical standard and values. In a day and age when our political discourse has sunk to an all-time low and corruption is rampant, it is indeed refreshing.restoring our faith in government and its leaders. Finally, Julie has successfully fulfilled her campaign promises to her constituents. Her long list of accomplishments and advances succeeded while maintaining fiscal prudence by lowering overall costs to the budget. Need we say more? Vote for the candidate of proven character, Julie Garcia. Herald and Donna Fleming Ticonderoga

DA Garcia brings integrity, honesty To the Times of Ti: The following passage by author Wess Roberts, Ph.D. is very pertinent to the district attorney election in Essex County: “It is a simple truth that the greater your accomplishments, your victories, the greater the opposition, torment and discouragement your enemies will throw in your path. Expect it - but never become a victim of it.” Julie Garcia has proven her loyalty to truth and as an

unbiased district attorney. She would never approve or write anything that she would dare not sign herself. Read between the lines, and listen to what is being said and written by her opposition. Julie’s integrity and honesty is something that we should demand from all elected officials and political candidates! Julie has never let us down. Tom Scozzafava Supervisor, Town of Moriah

Mercure, Meyer deserve your vote To the Times of Ti: I write this letter in support of the re-election of Supreme Court Justice Thomas E. Mercure and the election of Essex County Judge Richard B. Meyer to the Supreme Court. For 22 years I had the privilege and honor of serving as a New York State Supreme Court Justice, retiring in the year 2000 and returning to private practice. Having been there and done that, I can attest that the requirements of a model judge are the need of the judge to acquaint himself with the facts in any given matter; to have knowledge of the law and impartially apply that law to the facts; to preside with a demeanor demonstrating respect and

consideration for litigants, attorneys, witnesses, jurors and other court personnel; and to never miss an opportunity to achieve full justice in each case. Based on my knowledge and observations, Judge Mercure and Judge Meyer exceed the requirements of the model judge that I have described and have earned your vote. Judge Mercure has served on the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial District for the past 28 years, and was appointed in 1988 to Associate Justice on the Appellate Division, Third Department, where he presently serves as Senior Associate Justice. For a complete and detailed description of Judge Mercure’s qualifications, please visit his website:

www.tommercure.com Judge Meyer has served as Judge of the County, Family and Surrogate's courts in Essex County since 2005, and in 2008 was designated a fulltime Acting Supreme Court Justice. He presides over a wide range of civil and criminal cases, as well as Drug Treatment and Integrated Domestic Violence courts. For a complete and detailed description of Judge Meyer's qualifications, please visit his website: rickmeyer2009.com Please vote for Judge Thomas E. Mercure and Judge Richard B. Meyer on Nov. 3, 2009. Dominick J. Viscardi Supreme Court Justice (Ret.) Ticonderoga

Georgiana Scott Moriah

Assemblywoman supports Sprague To the Times of Ti: Over the past few weeks I have had the privilege of getting to know Kristy Sprague. I learned that Kristy has extensive and successful trial experience. She has successfully tried a double murder case, assaults, DWIs, domestic violence and sexual abuse cases. I was impressed to know her child sexual abuse cases have a 100 percent conviction rate. As the first chief assistant district attorney in Clinton County Kristy has proved she can work with both parties having served under DAs Clute, Cantwell and Wylie. Through her grant writing efforts Clinton County will open the North Country’s first Child Advocacy Center. Kristy’s experience with budgeting and grant writing will help Essex County during these tough fiscal times. She has the confidence and endorsement of New York State (Police) Troop B’s PBA as well as the Lake Placid Police PBA. Kristy Sprague is a zealous prosecutor and a dedicated member of law enforcement who truly cares about the safety of our communities, our schools and our county. Kristy is a devoted wife and mother of two children. She cares about her family and she cares about her community. Please vote on Election Day. Assemblywoman Teresa R. Sayward Willsboro

Vote for Garcia To the Times of Ti: I write to support the re-election of Julie Garcia as Essex County District Attorney. I served as the Essex County Judge for over 10 years before retiring at the end of 2005. During my tenure as judge, Ms. Garcia appeared before me on a regular basis, both in family court and criminal court. She was always well-prepared and worked diligently for her clients. I was impressed with her honesty and integrity and with her high skill level in the courtroom. The district attorney represents the people of Essex County. We should all feel proud to have someone of her ability working for us. I strongly support her re-election to that office. Andrew Halloran Essex Count Judge, retired Minerva

SATURDAY October 31, 2009

TIMES OF TI - 15

Dear Voter, I have spent the last 4 months campaigning, door to door, to talk with you about my candidacy and what you expect of me. I found many people home and had excellent discussions. For those I was not able to personally contact, I left my card with information so you might make an informed decision on Election Day. I will work tediously to keep taxes low by qualifying for grant money to pay for our projects. I want to help the citizens of Crown Point to experience prosperity. Crown Point can modernize and yet remain the beautiful town it once was. I want to be part of the solution to fix what needs fixing. Planning for the future will help us to stay afloat and prosper during tough economic times. The position of Supervisor is not a maintenance job but rather a position of a planner and organizer. We must plan for the future generations to come. We need to attract businesses to Crown Point and have jobs to offer. We need to utilize our natural resources and our lake. We are stewards of this town and we must do better. With a leadership plan, we can be productive again and optimistic. Crown Point can have a brighter future. We need to plan for our youth and our elderly. We must protect our resources – our future and our past. We have a great heritage here and we can move forward while preserving our past. A supervisor is responsible not only for his or her town, but also for the county. Higher taxes are due to lack of restraint on the part of the board of supervisors to cut their spending. Taxing the residents of Essex County is not a fair way of generating funds to pay for the inflated budget and all department heads must hear the word “no” for a change. New York State is one of the highest taxed states while residents of the Adirondack Park are considered some of the highest taxed in the nation. The average income is $8,000 below the statewide average and there is a shortage of housing, especially for the elderly. Lack of industry within the county and the park in general, drives the burden of the taxes upon the back of the residents. This is a long-standing problem that the board of supervisors must focus on. Citizens of Crown Point and all towns within the park are directly affected by the decisions made at the county level. Issues raised by residents I have talked with range from water issues to Monitor Bay; from junk cars to grocery stores; from crosswalks to school programs and sports; from noise issues to Main Street beautification – and I want you to give me your input, ideas and assistance in making Crown Point a better place. Through an open dialogue and open town council meetings, your ideas, questions and comments will be received and discussed. Accountability and oversight is a necessary component of open government of the people, by the people and for the people. If you feel as strongly as I do about Crown Point, please come out and vote on November 3rd, 2009.

PORT HENRY — Mountain Lake Services, Essex County Chapter of NYSARC, Inc., the largest parent-based organization in the nation serving people who have developmental disabilities, participated in a celebration walk in recognition of the organization’s 60th anniversary. Throughout the summer, NYSARC chapters hosted local and regional events as a part of a statewide “People. Progress. Potential. 60th Anniversary Celebration.” Locally, to mark the occasion, Mountain Lake Services hosted a walk inviting individuals supported through NYSARC chapters in neighboring Clinton, Franklin and Hamilton Counties along with family, friends and community members. In September 75 representatives from Mountain Lake Services traveled to Albany to participate in a celebration walk which culminated at the steps of the state Capitol in Albany. The event kicked off at the Corning Preserve Riverfront Park as a procession of 1,500 people walked over the Hudson River Way Pedestrian Bridge and up State Street to the Capitol Steps lead by

In September 75 representatives from Mountain Lake Services traveled to Albany to participate in 60th anniversary celebration of NYSARC. Schenectady Pipe and Drum. At the Capitol steps, flags from the 55 NYSARC chapters were placed by individuals who use the supports and services of NYSARC Chapters. Remarks from several public officials including Albany Mayor Gerald Jennings; Senate Majority Leader Ron Canestrari; Senate Assistant Majority Leader Neil Breslin; Assemblyman James Tedisco; Director for Constituent Relations for Senator Roy MacDonald, Jim Church; Director of Mental Hygiene for

Governor Paterson, Michael Seereiter; OMRDD Executive Deputy Commissioner, Max Chmura; NYSARC, Inc. President, Katherine Wilson-Conroy and NYSARC, Inc. Executive Director, Marc Brandt. Immediately following the ceremony the group returned to the Riverfront Park at the Corning Preserve for a picnic and entertainment. In 1949, NYSARC, Inc. was formed by parents who were determined to change society’s traditional disregard for the needs of their

children with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Today, nearly 60,000 people across New York State receive supports through NYSARC chapters . Mountain Lake Services was established in 1974 and provides supports and services on a daily basis to nearly 500 people throughout Essex County. These services include Early Intervention, Residential & Day Services, Supported Employment, and Clinical Services. For more information, visit www.mountainlakeservices.org

Town board seats open

Scozzafava running unopposed PORT HENRY — Tom Scozzafava wants to work a while longer for the town of Moriah. He started work for the town at age 14. 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.” Scozzafava, a Republican, is running unopposed for his 11th term as Moriah supervisor in the Nov. 3 general election. There are political races in the town this fall, though. Incumbent Republican

Tom Scozzafava Richard Carpenter, former trustee Eugene Williams, Republican Timothy Garrison and Laura Baker are seeking two town board seats in the Nov. 3 vote. Williams and Baker are running as independents. Incumbent trustee Tony Harvish is not seeking reelection. Running unopposed for assessor is incumbent Republican Paul Mazzotte.

Moriah will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican Kristy Sprague. Scozzafava is the secondlongest serving member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors. Moriah is unique, Scozzafava said. “The town of Moriah is a community like no other,” he said. “We have five hamlets (Mineville, Witherbee, Moriah, Moriah Center and the village of Port Henry), miles and 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 sys-

tems, 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

Bridge. “It’s the government’s responsibility to provide a safe transportation system for our constituents,” he said. “We let them down.” The bridge, which serves about 4,000 vehicles a day, links New York and Vermont. It was closed Oct. 16 when an inspection found its concrete piers had disintegrated. The bridge is jointly owned by the states of New York and Vermont, although New York DOT is responsible for its maintenance. The bridge, built in 1929, has been the site of repair work since mid-summer. Plans are being made to replace the bridge in 2013. To help commuters deal with the bridge closure, New York State has established an outreach center. It can be reached by calling toll-free number (888)7697243. The center, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MondaysFridays, can also be reached by calling 485-1159. The state has also made “impact statements” avail-

able to commuters. They are available at the Crown Point town office or by calling 5973035. They are also available at the Ticonderoga and Moriah town halls and on the Essex County website. “They are forms that people can fill out to let New York State know what impact the bridge closure is having on their lives — commuting, medical, financial, etc.,” explained Wendy Ingleston, clerk to the Crown Point supervisor. “We also now have impact statements for businesses available, too.” Crown Point Supervisor Dale French stressed the importance of the “impact statements.” He said they will play a role in determining the state’s course of action in responding to the bridge situation. Service at the Ticonderoga Ferry has been extended to assist motorists. The ferry, which was scheduled to close for the season Oct. 31, will now stay open until Nov. 15 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. About 50 people rallied at

the bridge Oct. 25, demonstrating their concerns. “For most of us living on either side of the lake, our incomes provide only the essentials as we struggle to keep up with rising food and fuel cost,” said Pastor David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church of Crown Point, who organized the rally. “And now, a tariff, as it were, in the form of a 100-mile detour or the added time and expense of a ferry trip.” Gov. David Paterson declared a state disaster emergency in Essex County and other areas affected by the closing of the Lake Champlain Bridge Oct. 21. That declaration is expected to assist the state in securing funds and permits needed to repair the span. No timeline for repairs has been announced, although the state DOT had called a public meeting Oct. 28 at Moriah Central School to address the bridge closure.

Town board, highway races also on Nov. 3 ballot

Democrat hopes to unseat supervisor Bethany Kosmider eyes supervisor post

Dale French seeks eighth term in office By Fred Herbst

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

CROWN POINT — Dale French wants another term as Crown Point supervisor. “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 Nov. 3 general election. He’s served the past 14 years as Crown Point’s top elected official. French will face Bethany Kosmider, an independent who has been endorsed by the Democratic Party. Crown Point voters will also elect two town board members. Incumbent Tom Walters, Robert Patnode, Mary DeHart-Ross and Steven Mildon are seeking the seats. Walters and Patnode are Republicans. DeHart-Ross and Mildon are independents. Also on the ballot are incumbent Republican Eugene Ingleston and independent Cory Armstrong running for highway superintendent. Incumbent Republican Carl Ross is unopposed for assessor. Crown Point voters will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican Kristy Sprague. The closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge has become a top priority for both supervisor candidates. Each has vowed to work toward re-opening the span as quickly as possible. 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.

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 Nov. 3 general election. Crown Point voters will also elect two town board members. Incumbent Tom Walters, Robert Patnode, Mary DeHart-Ross and Steven Mildon are seeking the seats. Walters and Patnode are Republicans. DeHart-Ross and Mildon are independents. Also on the ballot are incumbent Republican Eugene Ingleston and independent Cory Armstrong running for highway superintendent. Incumbent Republican Carl Ross is unopposed for assessor. Crown Point voters will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican 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. The closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge has become a top priority for both candidates. Each has vowed to work toward reopening the span as quickly as possible. A native of Crown Point, Kosmider is a graduate of Crown Point Central School and Kaplan College. She has been a contributing writer to local newspapers and formerly served as office manager for Bernie Sanders when he was Vermont’s congressman. She is the bookkeeper for her family contracting

Dale French 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 Senior Center and other items. 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.

Bethany Kosmider business. “I want to do something for the town of Crown Point,” she said. “I feel Crown Point 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

Crown Point church to recognize vets during service CROWN POINT — The friends and members of the First Congregational Church of Crown Point are planning their third annual Veteran’s Recognition and Appreciation Sunday on Sunday, Nov. 8, beginning at 9:30 a.m. as part of their regular service. “Veterans from local VFWs, American Legions, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), as well as individual veterans have been invited to share this time of gratitude for sacrifices that they have made for our country and our communities.,” Pastor David Hirtle said. “This year we are thrilled to have with us the Essex County Veterans Affairs Agent Mr. Timothy Pierce,” Hirtle added. “Mr. Pierce will bring us news and encouragement during the service. This will be a honor to hear and get to know him. “Did you realize that it is estimated that the men and women who are part of The Greatest Generation and served during the second World War are dying at a rate of 1000 per week?” Hirtle said. “Did you know that thousands of men and women fought, were wounded and died and their efforts were under or never

acknowledged? Did you know that the majority of men and women serving in

the Middle East are members of a local Guard or Reserve unit?

Questions To Ask When Choosing Wedding Favors Choosing wedding favors can be a lot of fun, but for many brides it’s one more stressful chore to cross off the list. If you’re facing those wedding favors with a sense of dread — or are just feeling a little out of your depth, these questions can help you find the perfect way to thank your guests on your special day, and maybe even bring a little bit of fun into the process. How Much Can You Afford to Spend Per Favor? The cost of a wedding can be staggering, so when it comes to wedding favors, budget has to be a consideration. Start by determining the amount that you can spend, and then divide it by the number of guests that you expect. Most often, the bride and groom choose one gift per couple, rather than one for each wedding guest. But this isn’t a hard and fast rule. Some couples may decide on one wedding favor for female guests, and another for the males. DIY or Wedding Favor Kits? Wedding favors may seem inexpensive, until you add up all the numbers. In a lot of cases, you can save a considerable amount if you’re willing to put in the time and energy to assemble them yourself. The assembly may be as simple as sliding a personalized ribbon over a box, or as complex as putting together the entire favor. If you’re willing to do some of the assembly yourself, or have a wedding party or family member who is willing to do it for you, look into the various DIY options for wedding favors. There are complete wedding favor kits that include everything you need to create a professional looking wedding favor, complete with bow and ribbon. If you’re craftier, or want more of a handson experience, you can choose the pieces that you need for your wedding favors one by one, and design your own unique wedding favors. Do You Want Wedding Favors That Double as Table Cards or Decorations? There are many different wedding favors that can serve as place cards or table decorations. Some of the most popular double-duty wedding favors are photo clips and photo frames. These favors can hold place cards at the reception, and photos or post cards once your guests are home.

Do You Want Wedding Favors that Fit the Theme of Your Wedding? It’s easy to find favors that fit your theme, especially if you have a popular beach or island wedding motif. Themed wedding favors are especially appropriate for more casual weddings, where they can serve as part of the table decoration. You might choose, for instance, wire framed picture clips in the shape of dragonflies for a garden party wedding. These favors add to the garden theme, hold place cards on the reception table, and hold recipes, mail or photos once your guests take them home. Where Can You Buy Wedding Favors? You can buy wedding favors online at sites that are dedicated to wedding mementoes and party favors, or at bridal websites. Or, talk to your wedding planner or consultant about local sources for wedding favors. In most cities, there are several small businesses that specialize in designing and creating wedding favors to match your wedding décor. If you want to create your own wedding favors, you can usually find gifts like photo frames or albums at local stores and buy them in bulk. Just pick up ribbon, wrapping, tulle and other package decorations at a local craft or party supply store, and you’re ready to assemble wedding favors. Whether you go the DIY or wedding favor kit route, there are plenty of ways to let your guests know how much you appreciate them. All it takes is a little creativity and resourcefulness. While traditional favors, like tulle wrapped Jordan almonds, are always a hit, don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Favors that tie into your wedding theme, or reflect your unique personality will make a lasting impression.

Do You Want to Give Your Guests an Edible Wedding Favor? Edible wedding favors have always been popular. The most traditional edible wedding favors are Jordan almonds wrapped in tulle and tied with colorful ribbon. There are lots of other choices for edible wedding favors, including name-brand chocolates and candy bars with personalized labels created just for your wedding. Other edible wedding favors include gourmet coffee, gourmet tea bags, little jars of honey and packets of mints or candies. You can personalize these gifts by adding a special label with your name and wedding date. Edible gifts are fairly inexpensive, and give your guests a taste of luxury that they can enjoy after your wedding day is over.t

Buy glass vases or containers for your centerpiece from markets, bargain shops or dollar stores. Use your imagination for a summer wedding! By filling glasses with colored stones, water, rose buds or orchids and floating candles you are able to create a wonderful centerpiece. Alternatively, sand, shells and greenery create an effective display. Lavender, fruit, gum leaves - get those creative juices going - go green. Collect (free) branches, leaves, pine cones, driftwood and spray with gold or silver metallic spray paint. Arrange in the center of the table with a few long lasting tea lights. Other alternatives are ivy, holly and rosemary. Dark table cloths really set this off. An eye catching arrangement! Remember your guests. Try to not make your centerpieces too bulky so guests have trouble talking to and seeing each other or that they take up large amounts of room on the table and then only allows very minimal room for placement of crockery and glassware. Another extra to place on tables for guests is a disposable camera. This allows guests’ to take snapshots of other guests, or you and the bridal party. Photo’s that you would not normally have taken. One camera on each table is sufficient.

Wedding Centerpiece Ideas Wedding centerpieces may not be considered important at some festivities however a wedding is a different story. You set the mood of the occasion by complimenting you and your partner’s personalities with carefully chosen embellishments. Consider the wedding theme, the size your tables, color of your tablecloths, color of wedding attire and the venue’s décor. Flowers are commonly chosen as wedding centerpieces for their variety, color, fragrance and ease of availability. Choosing flowers which are out of season can become costly and difficult to find. An alternative to using fresh flowers of your choice, you could use silk flowers on their own or mixed with fresh flowers. The use of fruits as wedding centerpieces can create a very attractive and affordable alternative. With a bit of creativity and imagination, you are able to make something wonderful out of fruit.

The action centers around Mary and Carrie Granola who inherit a rundown inn on Moose Bottom Lake, where handyman Pete has written a newspaper article about Bigfoot kidnapping a local resident. Although, the story was fictitious, sightings of Sasquatch provides the perfect excuse for Birch and

Pine, assistants to the inept Sen. Oakley, who wants to turn the Adirondack Park into a giant lake and shopping mall, to suggest they all take a trip. They head to the Adirondack Lost Loon Lodge where they run into guests and reporters also trying to get the story and see Bigfoot.

Supervisor, town board elections Nov. 3

GOP incumbent challenged by Democrat Mark Whitney offers change for community

Cathy Moses seeking sixth term in office By Fred Herbst

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

SCHROON LAKE — Cathy Moses is running for Schroon supervisor on her record. “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 Nov. 3 general election against Democrat Mark Whitney. Schroon voters will also elect two members of the town board. Running are Republicans Roger Friedman and Meg Wood and independent Bruce Caza. Friedman is an incumbent. Also on the ballot are justice Jean Strothenke and assessor Thomas Erikson. Both are incumbent Republicans who are unopposed. Schroon voters will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican 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

SCHROON LAKE — Mark Whitney is running for Schroon supervisor, offering to bring change. “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 Nov. 3 general election against incumbent Republican Cathy Moses. Schroon voters will also elect two members of the town board. Running are Republicans Roger Friedman and Meg Wood and independent Bruce Caza. Friedman is an incumbent. Also on the ballot are justice Jean Strothenke and assessor Thomas Erikson. Both are incumbent Republicans who are unopposed. Schroon voters will also choose a county sheriff between incumbent Republican Henry Hommes and independents Michael “Ike” Tyler and Robert L. Kirby and a county district attorney between incumbent Democrat Julie Garcia and Republican 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

Cathy Moses 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 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.”

Nov. 3rd, Vote

Mark Whitney and debt in the community. “When I looked at what has happened the past 10 years I became concerned,” he said. “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.”

ESSEX COUNTY, WE NEED A SHERIFF WHO PAYS ATTENTION TO DETAIL! Ultimately, this race is comes down to the overall management of our Sheriff’s Office. Effective management is a function of attention to detail. But, as we’ve recently been reminded, elected officials usually don’t like to be bothered with things like details. Sheriff Hommes’ idea to board outside inmates profitably hasn’t worked, mainly for his lack of attention to the details. There wasn’t a proper cost/benefit analysis made before it was built, which would have shown several reasons why we should have sized the jail merely to serve our own modest needs. Currently, there’s a large legal action against the County as a result of the poor oversight of the construction project, and we’ve already settled a smaller one. The boarding rate we charge the federal government doesn’t even cover our costs and our contract with them commits us to absorb any increases for its 3-year term. Inadequate training of personnel has led to injuries and the State’s mandate for a dedicated training officer, and more staff besides. The result is skyrocketing costs, which are diverting money and manpower away from other services we need from our sheriff, but have been forced to live without. I’m Robert Kirby. Drawing upon my broad career experience in law enforcement/criminal justice, business, and public safety, I’ve examined these problems and have already developed a preliminary plan to resolve them. Through prudent management and careful attention to detail, I’ll stop the waste and restore the benefits our sheriff is supposed to provide. And I’ll do it all transparently, so that everyone can be confident the taxes we pay toward our Sheriff’s Office is money well spent!

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 town-owned 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.”

The ABC way to understand alzheimer’s behavior A person with Alzheimer ’s disease may sometimes act in ways that are upsetting or seem aggressive. He or she may hit, scratch, or fight with the caregiver. This does not always happen. But if it does, it is likely to be when the person is in the middle stage of Alzheimer ’s disease. This state can last for up to four years. These actions can be upsetting and are often hard for caregivers to manage. It helps to have a plan. One that many people find easy to remember is called ABC. Here is what this means: A means Antecedent. This refers to events that happen just before an upsetting action. B is the Behavior. This means any upsetting or aggressive action done by the person who has Alzheimer ’s disease. C refers to the Consequence. This includes events that happen after the behavior. Sometimes, these events can make the situation worse. There are some behaviors that caregivers find especially difficult. Not all people with Alzheimer ’s disease have these behaviors. However, it is likely that the person in your care will have one or more of these problems during the middle state of Alzheimer ’s disease. It is important to try to understand why the person may be behaving in ways you find difficult, and learn how to avoid making them worse.

Secrets of an Adirondack hermit’s code discovered

SATURDAY October 31, 2009

This exotic fish known as a Pacu — a close cousin of the ferocious Piranha — was found swimming in Otter Creek last week. Pictured below is a northern snakehead fish, which was also introduced to local waters and has since established itself, permanently altering the ecosystem.

Exotic fish found in Otter Creek

Pictured above is the cabin built by hermit Noah John Rondeau on the Cold River. Photograph courtesy of Adirondack Research Room, Saranac Lake Free Library.

oah John Rondeau was not the original Adirondack hermit. The Great North Woods have harbored many individuals who could stake claim to the title, from French Louie in the West Canada Lakes to the mysterious, Follensby near the Saranacs. It seems that nearly every section of the Adirondacks has hosted at least one capable woodsman who preferred the forest to the town. Yet, Noah John Rondeau was certainly the most visible of the breed and he remains the most famous. A self proclaimed mayor of Cold River City, (population of one), Rondeau established his wilderness residence on a high bank overlooking the Cold River, upstream of the junction with Ouluska Pass Brook. His hermitage was established on the location of an old, abandoned Santa Clara Lumber Company logging camp. Although Rondeau had worked as a barber, caretaker and lumber camp laborer, by 1926 he was ready to become a permanent resident of the sprawling metropolis of Cold River City. On a high bank overlooking the Cold River valley, Noah established his cabin and a number of outbuildings, which he named the Town Hall, the Hall of Records and the Beauty Parlor. He also constructed a variety of “Wigwams.” These wigwam structures, which resembled teepees in shape, were constructed for the collection of firewood. During his ordinary everyday travels, whether hunting, trapping or fishing, Rondeau would return to camp dragging a long, slender sapling. The tree would be notched every 18 inches or so and stacked in a teepee fashion to dry. He gave these structures proper names, calling one the Pyramid of Giza. In the deep snows and cold of winter, he could open the window, pull a sapling in to a notch and break it off. The system worked well, he never had to step outside to cut firewood during the winter. It was just one of the many secrets of comfortable, forest living that the old hermit acquired. There were many others! The Hall of Records cabin, which is preserved and on display at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, appears to be too small for a man to stand. Even though Rondeau stood only 5-foot 2-inches in stature, the cabin door opening measures barely five feet. Yet the floor of the cabin was set a full two feet into the ground. It was dug below the level of frost, so that the dirt floor would always stay warm. Rondeau was an unusual hermit in the respect that he firmly enjoyed company, yet he enjoyed the woods more. His hermitage was discovered in the late 1920's and early 1930's by an burgeoning breed of enthusiastic hikers. About that time, the Northville-Placid Trail, a 132-mile hiking route was being established. The trail provided a new venue for backcountry enthusiasts and the traffic brought a steady source of staples for Noah. Around the same time, members of the newly minted, Adirondack '46'ers Club began frequenting Rondeau's hermitage. Travelers would often provide him with canned goods, flour, sugar and other supplies. To some, he became known as the “Tin Can Hermit” and the rusted, remains of these supplies can still be found over the bank of his Hermitage.

Rondeau often kept his canned goods in the river, where their labels would eventually wash off. As a result, he often enjoyed ‘mystery meals,’ since he had no idea what the can held until it was opened. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of his existence were his journals. For many years, he maintained nearly a daily log of his trials and travels, which has served to document his lonesome and not so lonesome life. The writing offer insights into his personality, natural education and ongoing battles with the conservation department and “eternal Big Government.” The journals provided a source of comic relief and served as a way for him to blow off steam. Rondeau wrote about a long walk to the Coreys Post Office to mail his buck tag report to the Conservation Department on Nov. 25, 1945. “Just finished a 24 mile walk to mail tag to American, weak minded Blood and dishonest American Flesh (the Conservation Commission),” he wrote. On Jan. 2, 1947 he wrote, "A chick-a-dee bird tried my weasel trap and it worked. I read Thoreau." On Jan. 3, his entry reads, "The chick-a-dee bird that got killed in the weasel trap yesterday is still dead." In another entry, Rondeau comments on having spent over 365 consecutive days in the woods. Remarking on having lived a full year as a hermit, he writes, “I find that I am very good company.” In his journals, Rondeau writes about visitors to Cold River City such as Richard “Red” Smith of Lake Placid, Wayne and Peggy Byrne and Dr. and Mrs. Dittmar of Plattsburgh, or of visiting with Harry Johnson in Lewis, John St. Dennis in Elizabethtown or Ted Hillman in Saranac Lake. However, a good portion of his journals were written in code. These unique hieroglyphics, described as the “footprints of an inebriated hen” contain mysterious symbols that were believed to protect the old woodsman's deepest secrets. None of his many friends ever knew the meaning of these scratchings. During the entire year of 1942 and 1946, Rondeau wrote nearly all of his journal entries entirely in code. For nearly 50 years, Rondeau's writings remained an enigma until David Greene cracked it. Greene, son of Evelyn Greene of North Creek, is also the grandson of Paul and Ma Schaefer, who are recognized as Adirondack legends in their own right. The story of how David Greene cracked Rondeau's code, as well as a translation of the two missing journal years can be found in a recently published book, entitled, Noah John Rondeau's Adirondack Wilderness Days: A Year with the Hermit of Cold River Flow. Author Jay O'Hern, who spent many years researching the life and times of Noah Rondeau, had previously published Life with Noah. Years back, O'Hern befriended Richard “Red” Smith of Lake Placid, who shared stories of his adventures with the old hermit. Smith, a frequent guest of Rondeau's, had provided a home for the old hermit at Whispering Pines before he died in 1967. Smith was a well known, local woodsman and scoutmaster who passed away in 1993. With Smith's passing, a major portion of the old hermit's legacy was lost. Such is the case with many of Rondeau's old friends, the Byrnes, Dittmars, Schaefers and others. While preserved newsreels and radio programs may offer further insights into Rondeau's life and times, they offer little in the way of the personality conveyed to friends. Even though the code has been broken, without first hand knowledge, the true personality of the old hermit will forever be encoded. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

mployees of the Vermont Marble Power Division of Omya made a startling discovery near their Sutherland Plant in Proctor, Vt., last week. The group noticed an oddlooking fish in the water of Otter Creek. The fish was captured and later identified by Vermont fisheries biologist Shawn Good as being a Pacu — a cousin of the ferocious Piranha that is native to the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of South America. Good believes the fish was set free after being removed from a private aquarium it had most likely outgrown. It measured 15 inches and weighed 2.5 pounds. While owners may think they are doing their pets a favor by setting them free, the practice can be devastating to local ecosystems, Good said. “Illegal aquarium releases are a common source of exotic species introductions in the U.S.,” said Good. “More than 38 species of unwanted fish and dozens of plants, crayfish, and snails have become established in waters of the U.S as a result.” Some infestations — like Eurasian watermilfoil and the northern snakehead fish — have cost millions of dollars for conNorthern snakehead fish trol and management. Even then, these species remain, having forever altered the environment, Good said. Both Vermont and New York have laws in place making it illegal to release fish into public waters. “It seems that the general public is largely unaware of the dangers posed by releasing aquarium fish,” said Good. “I can't stress enough how serious this is.” It’s not the first time Good has seen exotic species released into local waterbodies. In 2005, a fisherman caught an Oscar — also a South American fish species from the Amazon region — while bass fishing in Lake Hortonia in Rutland County. That same year, a Middlebury College professor found a tropical catfish in Lake Dunmore, in Addison County. Even the common goldfish has been found living, and unfortunately even thriving, in some Vermont and New York lakes and ponds. Good said in this case, the Pacu released into Otter Creek would never have survived because it requires a warm climate. But, that isn’t the case with every exotic species, like the northern snakehead or even the common goldfish. “There are many species of common aquarium fish that could establish populations if they were released, and that could cause immense damage to native fish populations and ecosystems,” he said.

More on the state’s new regulation banning boats on backcountry ponds I’ve received plenty of feedback from anglers who believe the state was off base to ban small boats and canoes from being left on remote trout waters. Perhaps most telling were the comments I received from fishermen who believe they will no longer have access to some ponds once the boats there are removed. One fisherman commented on my blog at www.denpubs.com by saying, “I'm 72 years old and cannot carry a canoe any longer. Why take away the only chance I have left to enjoy some backcountry fishing?
