Viewpoint
The season of giving is upon us It’s a Charlie Brown Christmas I T
he stores are draped in color, the golden tunes of Bing Crosby ring through the air and houses are aglow with decorations. The holiday season is once again here. With the season comes an increased concern for those around us who may need a hand. Most all of the holidays we celebrate in the final two months of the season are based on the tradition of helping those less fortunate. One place that sees an increased need during this time are food pantries and emergency food shelves. There is a combination of factors that lead to this need, as families start to face colder temperatures and the decision of whether or not to use their paychecks to provide warmth or nourishment. Not only are fuel prices higher than they used to be, but now food prices have also seen a rise with recent drought and market conditions. We’re not talking about providing the extra’s here, but the basic food needed to maintain a proper diet from day to day. In a recent interview with the directors of the Willsboro and Essex food pantries, they said that they were making multiple trips up and down the Willsboro town hall stairs each day to get packages from the pantry to families in need. For them, a savior showed up in the form of two local businesses, as Champlain National Bank and NYCO combined to contribute $3,200 to the pantry. We commend these organizations for their service to the community. We also commend those who contributed throughout the region during the recent Scouting For Food and U.S. Postal Service drives. Postal workers collected food to be sent to the New York City area, where the need is great after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Cub and Boy Scouts contributed to local food pantries, collecting on Saturday morning, Nov. 17, youth gave their precious Saturday morning time to help others. If you would like to help these pantries, contact your local town hall for hours and details. Another way to help local food pantries is by stopping by and watching the annual CP Rail Holiday Train pull into town. The train will be coming through Friday Nov. 30, and making stops in Whitehall (2:30 p.m.), Ticonderoga (4 p.m.), Port Henry (5:45 p.m.),
Plattsburgh (8:15 p.m.) and Rouses Point (10 p.m.). Visitors are asked to bring nonperishable food items to the train station, then stay to enjoy music, events and a beautifully decorated train. There are also those who are helping to make sure that families can provide gifts to their children in tough economic times. Some may say that if you can’t afford gifts, then go without; or gifts are not what make the season. While gifts may not make the season, try to put yourself back in the shoes of a young child returning to school after the holiday break or seeing friends for the first time after Christmas morning. How would it feel to sit there and listen to all of your friends talking about their shiny new toy or show up dressed in new clothes while there was nothing under your tree? Not a pleasant thought. The need continues to grow. In Elizabethtown, teachers at ELCS have found that their donations are no longer enough to fuel their Secret Santa Society, and so they are seeking the help of the community. They are accepting donations of toys, clothes and money through Dec. 14. There are also those churches who are taking part in the Operation Christmas Child Program. Denton Publications and Families First of Essex County are partnering for the fifth annual Operation Boxed Smile Program. There is the Adopt-a-Family program at CVPH, Toys For Kids, the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and many more. Then, there are the familiar, “Red Kettles,” that accompany the annual American Red Cross donation drive. There are many who volunteer their time, standing in the cold, ringing a bell and giving a smile to everyone who passes by. We ask that you return the smile and some change any chance you get, whether one time or many. Through these many chances to give, we can all find an appropriate way to help our neighbors and help provide everyone with a truly happy holidays.

n the most recent flare up an atheist group is accusing an Arkansas grade school of violating the constitutional rights of students by inviting them to a performance of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at a local church. I fear we will continue to see more of these challenges to remove all types of community support for any activity with a religious overtone, going against the long held beliefs this country was founded upon. Students at Terry Elementary School in Little Rock were invited to a performance of the show at Agape Church, a non-denominational Christian Church. Reportedly teachers informed parents in letters sent home that a school bus would shuttle children to and from the show, which would be performed on a school day. “We're not saying anything bad about Charlie Brown,” said Anne Orsi, vice president of the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, “The problem is that it’s got religious content and it’s being performed in a religious venue and that doesn’t just blur the line between church and state, it oversteps it entirely.” According to the letter the teachers sent home, the students would need to pay $2 to cover the expense of the bus ride but students were not required to attend the production, according to the school district. A spokeswoman for the Little Rock School District said the district did not endorse any particular faith or encourage any specific religious activity. One parent contacted the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers after receiving the letter. The parent, who did not want to be named, said that although she could choose not to allow her child to attend, she was letting her daughter go to the performance for fear the girl could be singled out. For a nation founded on religious freedom, a nation that has become more tolerant of many views and changes in society it seems odd to me to find religion under so much fire today. But it’s clear the nonbelievers and atheists have chosen to draw a line in the sand. Instead of celebrating the freedom to believe as each individual sees fit, we find a group putting up barriers to the outward beliefs of others. These
groups apparently want to change the One Nation under God to something very different. Dan Alexander Recent studies Thoughts from have shown that Behind the Pressline while 46 million adults are unaffiliated to a specific religion they are religious or spiritual in some way. Two-thirds of them say they believe in God (68%). More than half say they often feel a deep connection with nature and the earth (58%), while more than a third classify themselves as “spiritual” but not “religious” (37%), and one-in-five (21%) say they pray every day. In addition, most religiously unaffiliated Americans think that churches and other religious institutions benefit society by strengthening community bonds and aiding the poor. With few exceptions, the unaffiliated say they are not looking for a religion. Overwhelmingly, they think that religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules and too involved in politics. It’s been said that when things look down, people look up and seek the help and comfort of their God. It will be interesting to see how these challenges to religion and the customs that will be playing out throughout the upcoming Christmas season will be further affected this year. A number of nativity events have been shuttered as a result of legal threats, but as we’ve seen throughout history, efforts to restrict certain practices or beliefs tends to have the reverse affect. It’s unfortunate that we go through these challenging periods of time, but like so many things we experience in life it all seems to be for a purpose in the end. Those of faith and those who chose a different path will hopefully look back on this time period as some type of turning point and however you chose to view these events, I hope we can all agree the discussions and outcomes will serve to strengthen our nation, our beliefs and our ability to be tolerant of each other.

Hospice helps deal with death
‘Thanks giving’ spirit lauded
To the Times of Ti:
To the Times of Ti:
No one wants to die, but it will happen to all of us. Few of us think about it much until we face circumstances where it can’t be avoided. Most of us will fight to the death to extend our lives, as though this is a fight we can win. The end of life shouldn’t be a fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s about the natural course of events; without death there can be no life. It is a sign of wisdom and maturity to know of one’s mortality. It is a sign of courage and of humility to know we don’t live forever. If we are destined to have advance knowledge of our death, to face a terminal illness, High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care can help. As people face their deaths, their greatest fear is not of dying; it is of dying in pain. For many it is the fear of dying alone, or among strangers, or away from home, friends and loved ones. November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to raise awareness about the compassionate care that hospice and palliative care provides. Research tells us that people who enter hospice, who receive pain management, who receive spiritual counseling, who get the opportunity to talk about their feelings related to dying, live longer than people who receive aggressive medical care until their deaths. Is this a guarantee for everyone? No, but it is more likely than not. The hospice team provides expert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family. Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid in most states, and by most insurance plans and HMOs. Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing home assisted living facilities and long term care centers. Hospice care is available to people of all ages, with any illness. Hospice professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what’s important and listen to what you say. They make your wishes a priority. If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hospice and palliative care is right now. You can bet your life on it. No one likes to think about death and dying, but it’s something everyone has to face eventually. There is an incredible resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious or life-limiting illness. It is High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care. November is National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compassionate care that hospice and palliative care provides. One of the most important messages to help people understand is that hospice helps patients focus on living. The hospice team provides expert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice tea answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family. Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid in most states, and by most insurance plans and HMOs.

Ticonderoga supports girls To the Times of Ti: I am the director and creator of the non-profit Royal Winter Pageant. I have donated two years now organizing, practicing and committing my time and effort so young girls in grades 3-8 could have something to work hard towards. I started the pageant so young girls could learn how to be responsible, dedicated and proud and learn how to show sportsmanship and leadership. I have grown up in Ticonderoga for the last 29 years and have seen Ticonderoga change in many ways. I wanted to give the girls something to put forth their abilities. Each girl has to perform a talent, group dance and stand in front of a crowd and speak and walk. I am proud to say the girls have done a great job! If it wasn’t for the parents, family and friends, those who donate towards the pageant — Wal-Mart, Treadway Outfitters, Rathbun's Jewelry, Wagon Wheel and Pat Armstrong, and those who donate their time during the show: Nancy Frasier - photography, Dan Cross - DJ, judges and volunteers who help sell baskets, food, and tickets — I would not be able to put on this show. I know times are hard and especially in Ticonderoga but if we stay positive and support each other and especially our children we can be in a better place in the future. So I wanted to say thank you to Ticonderoga and its residents for showing support and helping our local girls become local leaders. Jamie Harrington Hague
Make-a-wish comes true To the Times of Ti: On behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeast New York we would like to express our deepest appreciation to Mr. John Boyea and the staff of Boyea’s Deli, and Mr. Ben Winters and the Moriah Fire Department for their support of Chasity O’Connor ’s Disney Wish. Chasity’s Bon Voyage Pizza Party was a perfect beginning to her wish and provided her with the opportunity to share her experience with her family and friends. She spent the entire party with a huge smile on her face. Their support clearly brought her and abundance of joy and happiness. Chasity and her family had a great time at Disney World and enjoyed their stay at Give Kids The World while in Orlando. Once again, thank you for helping Chasity’s wish come true.

er than grunt.” A grunt can take anything. The local volunteer fire department companies, EMS, sheriff ’s department, state police and National Guard along with the countless local organizations, too many to mention in this letter, went downstate into a war zone (to assist with Hurricane Sandy recovery). I witnessed the destruction first hand. In this writer ’s opinion without question you are all grunts, and please take that word as the highest compliment a soldier can bestow on a fellow warrior. You know who you are. I would also like to thank the local trucking companies who without any compensation in this economy, with the price of gas and tolls donated their time, equipment, manpower, compassion and energy for bringing vital supplies to people who had nothing. Thank you all for your service to our country. Harold Kelly Durham
When so much of our attention and news is centered on financial despair, arguably created by greed and misconduct, I believe that a little good news goes a long way during this season of joy and hope. The spirit of “thanks giving” is alive and well in Crown Point! I’d like to acknowledge the intent, effort, and the success of this years holiday meal in the community of Crown Point. Conceived with a desire to provide a place of fellowship for those who are alone or without the financial ability to enjoy a traditional meal, virtually all agencies in the Crown Point area came together to offer, if only for a short time, a place and time of respite for those who might benefit. Accordingly, on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 21, this small community came together to ensure that all who attended were filled in spirit and body by the time they left. The meal, consisting of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, peas, rolls and homemade apple, cream and pumpkin pies was served at the United Methodist Church fellowship hall in Crown Point from 4 to 7 p.m. There was no cost for this community meal! The meal was a collaborative between the faith communities of Sacred Heart, Crown Point United Methodist and the First Congregational Churches. We were grateful to DeBro’s Café, Crown Point Telephone, Crown Point Citgo, Hap’s Market, the team at the Post Office, as well as the folks at Champlain National Bank, Rescue Lodge of Free Masons, Torri’s, Gunnison Orchards, the Hammond Library, Village Auto, Crown Point Barbecue, and many individual contributions of both time and funding. Where possible, the meal was served with locally-grown and prepared items. Gunnison’s, for example, donated the apples for the pies. We are grateful to Cindy Bodette who made apple pies, Carlene provided marvelous cream pies, DeBro’s made all the stuffing. First Congregational Church made rolls and pies and staffed the “take-out” meals. The United Methodist Church provided both food and facilities as well as additional support. CP TELCO made rolls and bought butter. The Knapp Seniors pealed more than 60 pounds of locally-grown potatoes donated by the team of the Crown Point Post Office. The folks at both Crown Point Citgo and Hap’s Market supplied juice and milk for the children. We welcomed the crew from Village Auto with peas and pies. Tori’s came with pickles and olives, Hammond Library with cranberry sauce. The four turkeys were donated by Sacred Heart Church. Volunteers from local churches and the community at large hosted this year ’s event. No one was paid! We were thrilled to receive substantial donations from both the Rescue Lodge of Masons as well as Champlain National Bank and many kind spirited locals. These funds helped us to purchase many of the incidentals. Our gratitude goes to many additional members of the Crown Point area who joined with us to make this a true community time of fellowship. This was a total community effort that brought together people and resources to ensure true fellowship and a traditional hot meal for those who might not have one, here in Crown Point. We served approximately 125 meals, both inhouse and delivered to those who were unable to join us. It is my prayer that as the months go by, this meal will serve as a point of pride and accomplishment for not only our community but for others who will look for ways to share in the ability to build a stronger, caring community. “Together,” what a wonderful way to share. I am proud to be part of this true expression of community! Thank you to all! Rev. David C. Hirtle, pastor First Congregational Church Crown Point
Language teachers congratulate Denton To the Times of Ti: I know that you are reluctant to blow your own horn so I would like to congratulate Denton Publications (parent company of the Times of Ti) on receiving the Senator Paul Simon New York State Friend of Foreign Language Award from the New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers. Your decision to include French language lessons in the monthly issues of Kidsville News show that you recognize the importance of teaching French in North Country Schools. From the beginning, you worked diligently to put forward a quality product which could be used by parents and elementary teachers who have little no background in French. To do so at a time when French programs are declining in New York State has given a well needed shot in the arm to the promotion of French as viable, alive language. Merci du fond de mon cœur, David B. Graham Immediate Past President, Pays du nord Chapter, American Association of Teachers of French, Past President, New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers, Morrisonville

Festival of Trees returns to Hancock House Open house Dec. 9 By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Historical Soci-
ety will host its annual Festival of Trees this November and December at the Hancock House. This marks the 22nd year for the holiday tradition, which features a festive display of trees decorated by lo-

ety. A highlight of the event is the Hancock House open house Sunday, Dec. 9, 1 to 3 p.m. The open house gives visitors a chance to see the trees and exchange holiday greetings. Ticonderoga’s Hancock House, earlier known as the Headquarters House, is a reproduction of the Colonial Mansion built in Boston from 1737-1740 and occupied by John Hancock, president of the Second Continental Congress and signer of the Declaration of Independence. It serves as home to the Ticonderoga Historical Society. The Headquarters House was erected in 1926 and presented to the New York State Historical Association by Horace A. Moses, a native son of Ticonderoga, to further the interest of the people of northeastern New York and the Lake Champlain and Lake George valleys in history and the fine arts.

Lehman and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt portraits have been added through anonymous gifts to the association. From Chippendale chairs to old sleighs, the three storied building holds many conversation pieces. The fanciest of sleighs is a an elaborate two-seated sleigh with a raised coachman’s seat of the type used in the latter part of the 19th century and was loaned by the Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper Company. It was manufactured (c. 1875) by Golder & Post, carriage makers in Newark, N.J., from 1842 to 1887. Completely furnished rooms down to the clothing, lie in waiting. Some people have rented space for photographs, others come to visit and learn of the history of this foreign land. The museum is the locale for the archived Ticonderoga Sentinel, which is on microfiche. Valuable records of history lie within these walls and a gift shop holds something for everyone. The only year round history bookstore for miles, the gift shop offers books for adults, students and youth.

According to the Hancock Museum literature, the house was constructed as a replica of the John Hancock home which stood on Beacon Street in Boston and which was demolished in 1863 to make room for a new wing of the State House. John Hancock, a Revolutionary patriot, was a rich Boston merchant and his home was one of the finest of Colonial mansions. Entering through the front door, one cannot help but notice the magnificent staircase that has three different designs of spindle used on each step, with intricately carved newel posts. A splendid specimen of Georgian architecture, this building was faithfully executed from the measured drawings made by John Sturgis before the original was destroyed, and it would be fireproof. The exterior, made with Weymouth granite, have survived well the atmospheric and weather conditions, which have lent a happy effect to the stones, causing color changes of greens, pinks and a warm gray. The museum holds many cherished and priceless antique rarities for visitors to see. The first of these are the original paintings hanging on the walls. Portraits of New York governors were commissioned and executed

Scholarships available to fort seminar ‘Material Matter’ Jan. 26 and 27 TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga has announced four scholarships are available for teachers to attend the third annual “Material Matters: It’s in the Details” seminar Jan. 26 and 27. The weekend event focuses on the material culture of the 18th century and is intended for collectors, re-enactors and people with a general interest in learning more about objects of the 18th century and what they can tell us about history. “Material Matters” wil take place in the Deborah Clarke Mars Education Center at Fort Ticonderoga and is open by pre-registration only. The scholarships are available for
teachers at all grade levels. “A panel of material culture experts comes to Fort Ticonderoga for the weekend to share their knowledge of 18thcentury material culture in a series of presentations,” said Rich Strum, Fort Ticonderoga’s director of education. “Designed for those who want a deeper understanding of the everyday objects that help tell the story of life and the contests for control of North America during the 18th century, the weekend’s informal approach enables attendees to interact with presenters and provides an opportunity to examine 18th-century objects up close.” Since 2001, Fort Ticonderoga has provided scholarships for 102 teachers from across the country to attend its semi-
nars and conferences. Teachers interested in applying for a scholarship to attend “Material Matters” should download an application at www.fort-ticonderoga.org. Applications are due by Dec. 10. Successful applicants will receive free registration, two box lunches and an opportunity to dine with the presenters at a private dinner the Saturday evening of the seminar. Contact Strum at 585-6370 for more information. Non-teachers can register to attend “Material Matters” as well. The cost is $120 before Dec. 14 and $145 after that date. Registration forms can be downloaded from the fort’s website at www.fort-ticonderoga.org. A printed copy is also available by contacting Strum at 585-6370.

the United States, raising money to assist the less fortunate,” Buell said. “If you have a friendly face, you don’t mind being out in the cold for an hour or two, and you would like to do something to benefit your community this holiday season, then consider becoming a volunteer bell ringer for the Salvation Army.” The 2012 Red Kettle campaign will continue through Christmas Eve in Ticonderoga and Port Henry. Volunteers are needed in both communities on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting the week before Thanksgiving. The campaign will conclude Christmas Eve. “Companies, organiza-
tions, schools and individuals can sign up as volunteers,” Buell said. “Up to 90 percent of the money raised is available to help people in need in our local community. A number of people were helped at Christmas last year. Families and individuals have received assistance to buy food, clothing, school supplies and to pay utility bills.” People interested in volunteering for the Red Kettle campaign, or throughout the entire year, can call Buell at 597-3222 or Martin at 5464020. Anyone who needs assistance can also call Buell or Martin.

Essex County budget plan criticized By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Members of the community got their chance to address the Essex County Board of Supervisors Nov. 26, with many asking representatives to reconsider a proposed three-year budgeting plan. “Over a three-year period that plan, if left alone, would equate to a 67-percent tax increase over those three years,” Ticonderoga Town Councilman Jeff Cook said. “Count that out for the multi-million dollar homes and you wonder what would happen with those.” Cook also said that he felt any payroll cuts needed to be made for non-union employees, not just by looking at union employees. “We need to start thinking about everybody, not just the union,” he said. “There are places to be cut and there can be cut. There are things that are not mandated.” “I understand that some of our taxes are the lowest in the state and I am grateful for that, but couple them with school taxes that are some of the highest in the county and we are paying a lot,” Harold Akey of Jay said. “The fiscal crisis that Essex County and the nation is in, we have to look at those payrolls and potential cuts.” “In my extended family, I have
someone that lost his home because he could not pay the taxes and the mortgage,” Diane Kirby of Wilmington said. “I do not know what the answers are, but these are families that are losing their homes. You can’t put another 26 percent on the backs of these people. We need people to stay and live here in this area. How can we do this, but we cannot raise taxes.” Kirby also placed blame on the state for making a fiscally strapped tax base pay for unfunded mandates. “I don’t understand why the state does this to a county that is as poor as this one is,” Kirby said. Supervisors also got their chance to comment on the budget. “I have watched the papers and read the emails and there is no one here that would pass a budget of this size in their own town,” Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston. “There are no easy choices, but 26percent is not the way to go. It is going to take all of us pulling together to make it there.” “We have an obligation to make sure that we have made every effort to scrutinized all of the departments requests and considerations,” North Elba Supervisor Roby Politi said. “The easy thing to do is raise some taxes,” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “The diffi-

cult thing to do is look at cut down some services and trim the budget down as we, I feel, are going to have to do. It is too much, and we are going to do everything that we can to reduce this budget.” “I really feel that we have not done our research on how we can cut our budget back,” Willsboro Supervisor Ed Hatch said. “If you are not going to put on the table the Sheriff ’s Department, the college and the highway department, then you are not going to get anywhere. I do want to look at a three to five year plan on how we can get the government down to a level that we can live with and the taxpayers can live with.” “We had to make cuts in Schroon Lake that impacted people that I see every day, but we had to do it,” Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said. “I am confident that the board will do the best that we can to shave those numbers down,” Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaney said. “We need to keep this county and our towns affordable to all.” Board Chairman ad Jay Supervisor Randy Douglas said that his peers have been working hard over the budget season. “For the last few weeks we have been sharing new ideas with each other,” Douglas said. “This board
is discussing a lot of options to give to Mr. Palmer to put into the final budget. We are trying to find some sort of fix and compromise to help everyone and their needs. It is a very strenuous, stressful process.” County Manager Daniel Palmer started the meeting by outlining the preliminary budget as the process that went into it. “We have to develop a plan to get us to a balanced budget or we are always going to be faced with these kinds of increases,” Palmer said. “I think that it is a balanced approach to get where we should be and accomplishes two key things. It arrives at a balanced budget by 2015 and it preserves approximately $5 million in fund balance.” Palmer again addressed the fact that the Horace Nye Home will be on the county budget for 2013. Coupled with state mandated increases, Palmer said that the board will have a tough time finding any more cuts. “The home and state mandates account for 24 of the 26 percent tax levy increase,” he said. “This county has gone through this budget and paired out every single item that we could from this budget and kept services at near the same level the whole time.” Palmer said that the sale contract was close for the nursing home, but

that there is still a long process the county had to go through with the state before the transfer of the property can be completed. “The contract for sale has not occurred. We are awful close to having a signed contract, probably within a week or so,” Palmer said. “But we have to also get a certificate of need from the state to transfer the property, and that process will take a year. So we have to budget for the Horace Nye Nursing Home.” Palmer said that the net budget for the county had also dropped around $700,000 over the past six years. “A net budget sorts out your total appropriations and your total revenues,” he said. Palmer also reiterated that the county tax rate has been one of the lowest in the state, adding it is still above the state 2 percent property tax levy cap even though they feel they have been responsible. Palmer said that the public hearing will be reopened for further comment on Dec. 10. “Honestly, we want to hear from the public,” Douglas said. “We hope that the budget will be voted on after the Dec. 10 hearing,” Palmer added. The county budget must be adopted by Dec. 20.

Mineville FD receives new ‘mini rescue’ truck By Katherine Clark katherine@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — The members of the Mineville-Witherbee Fire Department recently welcomed a new addition to their fleet of emergency vehicles in the form of a new brush truck. The department was able to purchase a 2008 Ford F350 to replace an older brush truck that had to be taken off the road after Tropical Storm Irene hit the area in August 2011. Mineville Fire Chief Adam Wright said the 1977 Dodge brush truck the department used had served the department as a “mini rescue” vehicle for many years but had to be taken off the road for mechanical issues. The new truck, number 244, will help the department when responding to brush fires, storm and emergency response calls and transporting department members to fire calls. Wright said the truck will be a great help to the department over the coming winter months. Wright said department members wanted to express their appreciation to the board of fire commissioners for purchasing the vehicle, to Christopher Chevrolet, to Arrow Head Equipment and to Boyea’s Grocery and Deli for placing the decals and lettering on the vehicle.

id waste system. That means the town must accept trash from county residents, even if they are not Moriah residents. “We do more tonnage in Moriah than Ticonderoga,” Scozzafava said of trash collection. “We’ve got people from other towns using our station.” Another problem is Moriah trash fees are based in a 32-gallon bag, not weight.
“We charge by volume and pay to get rid of it by weight,” Scozzafava said. “That’s costing us money. We need to make an investment in scales and we need to begin charging people by weight.” Scales are expensive, he said, and will have to be figured into the town budget. “It may not be done in 2013, but it has to be done,” Scozzafava said of charging
by weight. Also costing the town money is the emergence of private trash haulers, who are taking garbage to out-
side landfills. “We’re losing business to private haulers,” Scozzafava said. “We need to account for that lost business.”

PORT HENRY — The cost of trash disposal has gone up in Moriah. The town board has voted to increase the cost of trash stickers from $2 to $2.50, effective immediately. It’s the first fee increase since 1999. “We’re losing money at the transfer station,” Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. “We had to do something.” The trash station is about $40,000 in the red, the supervisor said, but the fee increase should eliminate that
debt. There are several issues at the trash station that must be addressed, the supervisor said. One is that the $2 disposal fee was the cheapest in the area. As a result people outside the community were coming to Moriah to dispose of trash. The Moriah trash transfer station, located on Joyce Road in Mineville, is part of the Essex County sol-

Schroon Lake • Times of Ti - 19
Schroon boutique offers variety during holiday season Lorraine Erikson operates shop SCHROON LAKE — After years of community service, Lorraine Erikson is doing something for herself. Erikson is operating Lorraine’s Boutique at The Marketplace in Schroon Lake. “I’ve retired (from community service), but I wanted to stay busy,” she said. “I thought this works well with my hobby and hopefully I can make a little spending money.” Erikson has been knitting for 65 years. About six years ago she began selling her knit items at the Morningstar Bistro in town. “I’ve knitted for years,” she said. “I knitted for all my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I make everything — sweaters, hats, mittens, you name it. People really seemed to like my sweaters, so I kept expand-
ing.” Enjoying strong sales, Erikson decided to lease the building at 1095 US Rt. 9, Schroon Lake’s main street, and open her own business. “As soon as I opened a bunch of people came in with their own things and wanted to sell them,” Erikson said. “I decided to take things on a consignment basis.” Lorraine's Boutique at The Marketplace now has merchandise from 16 different local vendors. It sells knit and crochet clothing, T shirts, fashion clothing, scarfs, Adirondack furniture, holiday centerpieces, bird houses and a wide variety of other items. There’s a Christmas Nook for the upcoming holiday season. “People are surprised to see how many interesting things we have to sell,” Erikson said. “Most people spend a half hour to 45 minutes just looking around because we’re so diverse.” The shop even has nickel

candy, fudge, ice cream and soda, which are popular with children. “I have nickel candy, which nobody has anymore,” Erikson said. “Children are very content here while their parents browse.” Lorraine’s Boutique at The Marketplace is open May 1 through Dec. 31. It is now open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. People can call 532-7274 for information. Erikson is well known in the community for her years of volunteer service. She has been named Citizen of the Year by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce and the Senior of the Year by the Schroon Lake Senior Citizens Club. She served as chair of the Schroon Lake Association arts and crafts fair for 10 years and served five terms as president of the senior citizens club. She’s also active in the Schroon Lake Community Church.
The Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the event, is seeking suggestions for its annual Old Tyme Christmas celebration. “The interest in this celebration has waned over the past few years and the chamber is attempting to increase interest and participation in the celebration,” said Patti Mehm of the chamber. “Many of the traditional activities will remain, including the tree lighting ceremony, live nativity, cookies and cocoa at the Senior Center and Santa at the

Strand. New this year, the Friends of the Library will be presenting books to the children at the Strand when they visit Santa. We are currently in the process of coordinating musical performances in various locations around town.” But while plans have been made, the chamber is looking for additional ideas. “To revitalize this wonderful holiday tradition, the planning committee is looking to the community for input and participation,” Mehm said. “It is the residents, church and
school communities and service organizations in town that make Schroon Lake such a special place to live. We are asking for your help to make this celebration come alive and shine with holiday spirit and activity.” Anyone with suggestions or wishing to help with the Old Tyme Christmas celebration can call the chamber at 532-7675 or contact Mehm at 791-3578 or at pmehm65@yahoo.com

Wildcats hope to repeat 2011-12 success By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake dominated Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference boys basketball a year ago. Can the Wildcats do it again? Maybe, but it will be much tougher in 2012-13. Coach Lee Silvernail only returns three players from last winter, when his ‘Cats went 14-1 in MVAC play and 15-3 overall. Luckily for Schroon Lake fans, though, all three were key contributors. Leading the returnees is MVAC all star Jesse Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy led the team in scoring with 17.4 points a game and steals with 6.2 thefts a contest a year ago. He was the best player in the conference, leading Schroon to the Section VII Class D championship game. Also back is Jeff Armstrong, who topped the Wildcats on the boards last winter, grabbing 9.2 rebounds a tilt. Bob Rose is another veteran player on the roster. Joining Armstrong and Rose in the front court will be rookies Caleb Maisonville and Bryce Vallie. New in the back court are Alex Shaughnessy, Tanner Stone, Joe Maisonville, Eric Paradis, Justin Lough and Joe DeZalia. “It’s a young team with a lot of potential,” Silvernail said. “With only three returning players it will take some time to
develop team chemistry. Seniors Jeff (Armstrong) and Jesse (Shaughnessy) will be Dec. 4....Willsboro called upon to provide Dec. 7....Wells leadership for this Dec. 12..at Lake Placid year ’s team.” Dec. 14..Minerva-Newcomb The coach believes Dec. 18..at Chazy he has some young talJan. 3.....Westport ent on the squad.

SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake girls basketball team has a corps of veteran players to build around this season. The Wildcats return six players from a club that posted a 4-13 record in 2011-12. “Last season we learned a lot about each other,” Coach Rich Hall said. “Hopefully, this year we start to trust each other and become a team. We have the core group back from last year ’s team, so that should be a plus.” Returning at forward are Lindsay Reynolds, Miranda DeZalia and Clare Whitney. New to the front court are Shannon Garland, Molly Wisser and Desiree Lanoue. Gabe Harvey is back to man the pivot. Abby Veverka and Megan Hall give the Wildcats a veteran back court presence. New at guard are Caitlyn Jarrell and Lexi Subra. “Our guards have to do a better job of taking care of the ball,” Hall said, noting back court play will be a key to Schroon Lake’s success this season. The ‘Cats coach has been pleased with his team in pre-season workouts.
Jesse Shaughnessy led Schroon Lake in scoring with 17.4 points a game and steals with 6.2 thefts a contest a year ago. He was the best player in the conference, leading Schroon to the Section VII Class D championship game.

Crown Point ladies ready for 2012 By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — It’s a rebuilding season for the Crown Point girls basketball team. The Panthers must replace a trio of senior stalwarts this season. Gone are Marissa Titus, Alexis Holman and Julianne Glebus. Titus was the club’s leading scorer a year ago. Crown Point does have five players returning this winter. Back are Ellen Kiely, Michaela Comes, Courtney Meachem, Amanda Wolf and Heather Ryan. Kiely will give the Panthers a veteran presence on the wing, while Wolf could prove to be a dominating post player. New to the Panther line up in 2012-13 are Alex Macey, Tasha Hay, Logan Harrington, Brittany Foote, Abby Carpenter, Maria Malone and Hannah Landry. Harrington, Foote, Carpenter and Malone are all freshmen. Crown Point will play in the Mountain and Valley Athlet-
ic Conference Southern Division in 2012-13 along with Minerva-Newcomb, Johnsburg, Indian Lake-Long Lake, Wells and Keene. The Northern Division will have Chazy, Willsboro, Elizabethtown-Lewis, Schroon Lake, Westport and Lake Placid.

CROWN POINT — On paper, the Crown Point boys basketball team is loaded this season. The Panthers return nine players from 2011-12 when they won the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference Southern Division with a 10-5 record. They were 10-8 overall. “We return a full roster of players from last year ’s division-winning team, including three starters,” Coach John Swinton said. “I like this team. We don’t have one particular individual that we are going to lean on moving forward. This is probably the most balanced team, talent-wise, that we’ve had in a while.” It’ll be up the Panthers to prove they are more than paper panthers. The front court is all veterans. Back are Mike Gould, Jon Spaulding, Duke Mildon, Joe Foote and Ryan Worth. Gould led the team in rebounding last season, hauling down 10.6 caroms a contest. Returning at guard are Dan Groshans, Gabe Macey, Jake Spring and Jordan McIntosh. Guard Michael Dushane is the lone rookie on the roster. Macey led the club in steals last winter with 3.4 a game,

A win in sectionals would put Ti in the Section VII Class C championship game, a step away from a state tournament berth.
Sentinel boys schedule
By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga boys basketball team will have to grow up in a hurry. With just four returning players, the Sentinels will be one of the youngest teams in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference this season. “We have a relatively young team,” Coach Joe Defayette said. “I expect experience to be an area of weakness in the beginning of the season.” Returning to the team are forwards Riley Chapman and Karney Manning along with guards Mike Graney and Jordan Fuller. Chapman led the Sentinels a year ago, grabbing eight rebounds a contest. Graney led the club in assists with four a game.

Madison Stahl and Shelby MacDougal will man the post. Taylor Sprague, Caitlin Pelkey, Lauren Brace, Sarah Slattery and Kati DeSimone will play forward. “Our new players have picked up our offensive system rather quickly, which is good,” Coach Steve Pelkey said. “Defensively, we are improving, but we’re not quite there yet.” Several of the Moriah players can fill more than one position. “We are a very versatile ball club,” Coach Pelkey said. “Depth isn’t an issue. I can see us playing anywhere from 8-10 players consistently on a nightly basis, depending on certain situations.” The Viking mentor is optimistic about the 2012-13 season. “I’m sure that there will be times we will experience some growing pains during the season,” he said. “However, I believe this group has the potential to be a good basketball team come sectional time. We have to continue to work hard, believe in ourselves and trust each other.” Assisting Pelkey on the bench this winter will be Erica Slattery and Tom Olcott.

Ti track team attracts big numbers Indoor squad has 92 athletes By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — You’ve heard of hipsters? Well, in Ticonderoga you’re not cool unless you’re a trackster. The Sentinels have an amazing 92 athletes out for indoor track this winter — 35 varsity boys, 24 varsity girls and 33 modified. That’s about a third of the entire high school student body. “It’s by far the biggest team that I've had for quite a few years,” Coach Walter Throne acknowledged. And more than quantity, there is quality. “Attitude, team balance and numbers with 20 returning athletes from last year’s team and 14 new members will be our main strength,” Thorne said. The boys team returns Jay Hebert in the hurdles and sprints. Hebert won the New York State Public High School Athletic Association small-school championship in the 110-meter hurdles last spring. He then won the New York Federation championship, which pits the top eight runners from schools of all sizes. Hebert went undefeated last spring with a best time of 14.07 seconds — the fastest time in New York and the fourth fastest high school time in the nation, according to his coach. The Olympic B qualifying standard is 13.72 seconds. Now a junior, he’s only 1.2 seconds away from the world record in the 110 hurdles held by Cuba’s Dayron Robles. And there’s the distance team. It’s comprised of runners from this fall’s Ti High cross country team that won the Champlain Val-
ley Athletic Conference and Section VII Class D championships before finishing fifth at the state championship race. Members of the distance crew include Javeed Nazir, Jacob Young, Shawn Silliman, Milo Thurban, Brandon Charboneau, Martin Glazer, Cody O’Hara, Ryan Price, Kody Parrott, John Cook and Aaron Russell. “The distance team will be led by Javeed Nazir, Kody Parrott, Shawn Silliman, Cody O’Hara, Ryan Price and Jacob Young who had a very good cross country season,” Thorne said. Joining Hebert in the sprints and jumps will be James Cook, Coleman Granger, Jarryn Granger, Justyn Granger, Marcus Moser, Shawn Silliman, Tanner Wright, Devin Davis, Anthony Costello, Skyler Gilbert, Tyler Londermilk, Nicholas Theiss, Ryan Trudeau and Chris Swinton. “Our sprinters will be led by Jay Hebert, state qualifier in the 55meter hurdles last (indoor) season,” Thorne said. “Tanner Wright, Jarryn Granger, Coleman Granger were members of the 4x160 state qualifying relay team with emerging eighth grade sprinter Justyn Granger.” Throwing this winter will be Steven Bussey, Blake Gautreau, Cody Shaner, Zechariah McLaughlin, Stephen Bartlett, Nicholas Fritz, Ezra Long, Jesse Wilson and Jerrod Reed. Bartlett and Long will also sprint. “Our throwers will be led by senior Steven Bussey, who started to come into his own last season and should be right up there with the section’s top throwers this season,” Thorne said. “Cody Shaner and Zack McLaughlin should provide much needed points in the shot put. “Also we had 14 first year athletes sign-up for indoor track who show a lot of promise in practice,” the coach said. “How fast they

adapt to the track program will have a great impact on how well we do this season.” Assisting Thorne with the coaching duties will be Phil Kneller, who will work with throwers, and Jay Wells, who will mentor the distance team.
Lady Sentinel thinclads optimistic Coach eyes strong season By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga girls indoor track program is growing — and improving. “We have nine girls returning from last year’s team, which finish in fifth place in the section last season, a big improvement on past years,” Coach Walter Throne said. “This season we had 15 firstyear athletes sign-up for indoor track. How well they take to the track program and develop over the next several weeks will have a major impact on our program. “Certainly we have no expectation, but we are optimistic based on what we have seen so far in practice for this indoor season to see if we can improve on last year’s fifth place finish,” he said. “Hopefully the new athletes out for the team this indoor season fill
some of the holes and build for the future.” Naomi Forkas, a Champlain Valley Athletic Conference all star and state championship meet qualifier in cross country this fall, will lead the Sentinel distance team. She’s joined by Ashlyn LaPerle, Rebecca Barber and Alaina Bevilacqua. Michaela Connors will run middle distance. The sprints and jumps will feature Taylor Dorsett, Linnea Griffin, Aspen Olcott, Liz Aranquez, Constance Bailey, Britney Bruce, Keely Cooper, Michaela Fitzgerald, Lillitha Ida, Natasha LaFrance, McKinsey Price, Brenna Michalak, Emily Powers, Chelsea Kearns, Hailey Kuhl and Rachael Scuderi. Dorsett will also throw. She‘ll be joined in the shot by Sara Plude and Josie Worley. Assisting Thorne with the coaching duties will be Phil Kneller, who will work with throwers, and Jay Wells, who will mentor the distance team.

Vikings have holes to fill in squad Moriah cagers young, inexperienced By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The cupboard is nearly bare for the Moriah boys basketball team this winter. The Vikings return just three players from a year ago as they make the move from Class C back to Class D competition for postseason play. “We expect to be competitive, but with all the new players it may take some time,” Coach Brian Cross said. “They are working hard to get better each day.” Gone are most of Moriah’s statistical leaders from last season. Leading scorer and playmaker Landon Cross has graduated along with top rebounders Tim Breeyear and Carol Calabrese. Returning to the line up are Jessup Calkins, Mike Mero and Derek Brassard. Calkins led the team in steals in 2011-12 and was second in assists. Joining Calkins and Mero in the back court will be Tyler Pratt, Cole Gaddor, Bill Petro and Dylan Blaise. Gaddor will be unavailable early in the season as he recovers from a football injury. In the pivot the Vikings will play Adam Jaquish and Wesley Belzer. Brassard will lead the forwards along with Dakota Marcotte,
Austin McKiernan, Brian Mauran, Ryan Shpur and Skyler Graham. “Shpur, Jaquish, Dec. 7....v.

Moriah keglers just want to have fun CVAC makes rule change By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — A new rule this season has given the Moriah bowling team a new attitude. The Champlain Valley Athletic Conference has eliminated handicaps in bowling competition for the 2012-13 season. “I'm encouraging the kids to go out on the lanes and have fun, doing the best they can do,” Moriah Coach Stacey Anderson said. “Without handicap this year, it’s certainly going to be tougher for us, but with practice and determination, we’re going to do the best we can.” The Vikings have some veteran keglers this season. Returning to the boys team are Dillon Adkins, Jared Feith, Derek Petro, Tanner Conley, Joe Rodriguez and Dave Lasell. New to the roster are Gage Denton, Tanner Whalen, Billy
Benton, Adam Wilber, Tom Rancour, Tristan Shappy, Dustin Gangi and Kyle Van Buren. Megan Evans, Kayla Joy and Amanda Ida return to the Viking girls squad. They’re joined by rookies Nicole French, Alice Cochran and Desiree Fleming.

Returning guards will lead Mountainside Viking boys enter 2012-13 campaign By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Mountainside Christian Academy will rely on a strong back court this boys basketball season.

Andryuk averaged 12.1 points, 8.4 rebonds, 6.4 steals and three assists a game last winter. Bresnahan averaged 3.1 assists a contest. Andryuk and Bresnahan will be in the back court along with John West, Ben Storman and Sam Lintner. Brandon Mieras returns at forward along with Matthew
Legacy, Stephen Lamos and Luke Rider. Mieras averaged 6.8 points and 4.6 assists a tilt last season for the Vikings. Josh Joseph will man the center position for Mountainside.

Assisting Coach Mieras on the bench this season will be Chris Bresnahan.

ish 16-20. The 2012 season was a banner campaign for the Ticonderoga boys and firstyear coach Wells. The Sentinels won the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference title with a 17-1 record and the Section VII Class D championship. Ticonderoga then raced to fifth place at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D boys cross country championship at Elma Meadows Nov. 10.

The Sentinels girls team also enjoyed a resurgence under new coach Britney McCarthy. Ti posted a 5-13 CVAC mark, their best since going 8-8 in 2002. Ticonderoga also had three runners in the girls state championship race, each earning at-large berths in the Section VII meet. Forkas led the Sentinels at the state championships, finishing 58th. Hannah Herbst was 96th and Markie teReile was 104th. It was the third trip to the championship meet for Herbst and teReile.
