Carillon Garden Club presents awards in Ti.
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Good help is hard to find, especially if you operate a marina. “There just aren’t enough marine technicians to fill all the jobs we have available,” explained Roger Phinney, executive director of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association. “We have jobs. We want to hire people. We just can’t find them.” That’s why Phinney’s group and marina owners from the region are supporting the new Marine Academy being established at Ticonderoga High School in its newly-constructed, stateof-the-art technology center. Slated to open next September, the Marine Academy will be operated by Champlain Valley Tech and be available to students from Glens Halls to Plattsburgh. A two-year program, it will be limited to 13 students — and marina owners can’t wait until the first class graduates. “We’ll be fighting for them,” Rich Stolen, owner of Schroon Lake Marina and

Concert to benefit Tiny Tim program Dec. 9 in Ticonderoga
dren of the Ticonderoga Central School District, including Putnam and St. Mary’s schools. Children ages 1 to 16 are eligible. For further information, call 585-7017. Quesnel stressed the program is entirely confidential. After applications are verified, names are removed and families are assigned numbers, she said. People who purchase gifts buy for a specific number, not knowing who the child is. The confidential program decides who gets holiday help using the school’s free and reduced lunch income guidelines. Parents must complete applications. That application includes questions about the children in the homes, such as clothing sizes and gender. The Tiny Tim program started in 1980 when a group of Ticonderoga Central School teachers realized the need. The program grew to the point the teachers could no longer handle the demand. There have been a lot of changes during the years. Tiny Tim no longer accepts or distributes used items and gifts are no longer wrapped. And, Tiny Tim has grown. It started out giving away winter coats. Now each child gets six pair of socks, six sets of underwear, a jacket, ski pants, boots, clothing and toys. Tiny Tim will not purchase any electronics such as iPods, cell phones, computers or game systems. Tiny Tim now serves about 75 families and nearly 200 children each holiday season. It costs more than $6,000 a year to operate the Tiny Tim program. While Gibbs has stepped down, Quesnel said the former director will remain involved.

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The annual Tiny Tim Christmas Concert will be held Friday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church on Wicker Street. The concert, featuring the Ticonderoga Community Band, raises money for the Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program, which provides Christmas gifts to needy children in the area. “There is no admission fee, but baskets will be passed to collect money for those who want to donate Tiny Tim Wish Program charity,” said Dale Quesnel III, a member of the Ti Community Band. “We hope to see many people at the concert.” The Ticonderoga High School Sentinel Big Band and the school acappella choirs have been invited to participate. The Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program enters a new decade with new leadership. The program, in its 31st year, is now directed by Nancy Quesnel. Quesnel replaced Helen Gibbs, who stepped down after the 2010 holiday season following 20 years with the program. “Helen was looking to pass the baton,” Quesnel said. “She put a lot of time and effort into the program; it was her baby. I’m honored she wanted me to take it over. “I’m not looking to change the program at all,” she continued. “It’s been successful for a long time and all the kinks were worked out long ago. We have checks and balances in place. It’s a good program.” The Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program serves needy chil-

Festival of Trees returns to Ti on Dec. 11 By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Historical Society will host its annual Festival of Trees this December at the Hancock House. This marks the 21st year for the holiday tradition, which features a festive display of trees decorated by local businesses, organizations, families and individuals. “The trees are on exhibit on all four floors and provide a magical feeling to the
Hancock House,” said June Curtis of the historical society. A highlight of the month long event is the Hancock House open house Sunday, Dec. 11, 1 to 3 p.m. The open house gives visitors a chance to see the trees and exchange holiday greetings. “The historical society offers this event to say thank you to all its members and friends in the community, volunteers and visitors for their support throughout the past year,” Curtis said. “Please stop in to say hel-
lo, gather with your friends, listen to beautiful holiday music in our parlor and enjoy scrumptious homemade goodies as we celebrate the season together,” she said. “Enjoy the sights and sounds with us in a warm and festive atmosphere. Tour our magnificent building to view the many beautiful trees, make a stop in the Post Office Gift Shop to fill your Christmas list and take pleasure in the spirit of this wonderful time of year.” During the historical society’s open house Dec. 11,
Ticonderoga Arts — located in the downstairs of the building — will be open. “The winner of our 50/50 raffle will be chosen,” Curtis said. “We’ve been told that Santa may stop by to visit those who have been not naughty, but nice. And as we did last year, we plan to have another gift basket raffle.” 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, pres-

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 for the City of Albany through the term of Charles Evans Hughes. Since Governor Hughes’ days, the Herbert H. 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.

ident 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. 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,

Volunteers sought for holiday charity effort Red Kettles planned in Ti, Port Henry
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Christmas is in the distance future for most people, but Glen Buell is already making plans for the holiday season. Buell is the Ticonderoga coordinator for the annual Salvation Army Red Kettle drive. He and Tina Martin, the Salvation Army Port Henry coordinator, are lining up help for the traditional charity effort. “The Red Kettles have become a tradition throughout 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 some-

thing to benefit your community this holiday season, then consider becoming a volunteer bell ringer for the Salvation Army.” The 2011 Red Kettle campaign will continue through Christmas Eve in Ticonderoga and Port Henry. Volunteers are needed in both communities on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. “Companies, organizations, 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.

Community Store re-defining The true meaning of the season image of small town America I
A
t a time when the holiday shopping season focuses squarely on big-box stores and online retailers, along comes the Community Store in Saranac Lake to capture our hearts and imaginations. The Ames department store in Saranac Lake closed in 2002, and no matter how hard small shop owners tried to collectively serve the “general store” needs of this community, more and more people began relying on the big-box destinations outside the Adirondack Park. When Walmart tried to build a supercenter here, village officials blocked the plan, forcing locals to make trips of 50 miles or more (one-way) to buy the most basic household items, such as underwear. It also gave the community a chance to create a department store for the masses, playing by home rule rather than corporate greed. We’re not naïve. We know Saranac Lakers will still buy goods online and take shopping trips to the closest Walmart or Target. But this Community Store has given Saranac Lake a booster shot of confidence. It has made Saranac Lake a shopping destination again. It has bought Saranac Lake 15 more minutes of fame. When the New York Times covered the Oct. 29 opening of the Community Store, its Business Section story was picked up by media outlets across the U.S. It captured the attention of The Early Show on CBS. It seems Saranac Lake is not only the coldest spot on the Weather Channel’s map of America; it is also one of the hottest retail destinations in the nation. “People want closer relationships with each other and with the companies with which they do business. They want a conversation. They want to be part of it all,” wrote columnist David L. Rawle on Nov. 15 for the Charleston Regional Business Journal. “That’s why the Saranac Lake Community Store came into being and will no doubt be successful.” Saranac Lake’s store — the first of its kind in New York state — was based on another community-owned department store, The Merc in Powell, Wyo. It’s only fitting that the Powell Tribune pick up on the New York Times story and compare the two communities and its “sister” stores.
“As it happens, Powell and Saranac Lake share more in common than a community-owned department store,” wrote the Tribune’s Tessa Schweigert on Nov. 17. “Both have a junior college. Both were named All-America Cities in the 1990s. Both have populations of fewer than 6,500 residents. Both have a rural flavor residents hope to keep alive.” CNBC.com called the Community Store “A triumph of main street can-do” on Nov. 14. Now Saranac Lake is gaining a reputation for fighting the Wall Street business mentality, and it is quickly becoming the poster child for communities that fought Walmart and won. Bloggers across the U.S. are relaying the New York Times report and asking readers what they think about Saranac Lake, its fight against Walmart and its decision to open a department store on its own terms. Comments on a recent blog posting at Glamour magazine’s website have been positive: “This is the coolest thing I’ve read in weeks.” “Capitalism at its best!” “Amazing! Good for them. Wish we could all do that.” Saranac Lake’s Community Store success has triggered a dialogue among small-town residents thinking about their own situations. Powell may have been Saranac Lake’s inspiration, but Saranac Lake is now poised to be an inspiration to many other American communities. And Community Store owners did this despite the recession, despite the failed actions of our federal government to stimulate the economy, and despite the big-box culture engrained in our society today. Now people from around the country will be visiting the Adirondack Park to see the Community Store and discover everything else this region has to offer. Saranac Lake has once again proven why it was named an All-America City in 1998.

GUESTVIEWPOINT
Thanks for support
Agrees, disagrees
To the Times of Ti: The ALS Raising Hope Foundation would like to thank all those who contributed to our fund raiser for ALS research at Harmony Golf Course this summer. Each and every donor is highly valued and together you helped us realize $40,000 for MGH, (which was doubled by a matching donor), and $7500 for ALS TDI. The generosity and good will that has been extended to all of us in the ALS trenches has been overwhelming. Please know that the ALS patients, their families, and caregivers find comfort and strength in your support. This neurodegenerative disease has claimed more than 38 local people that we have been able to identify, and shows no signs of stopping. Finding a cure through research is critical and we thank you for joining us to be part of that cure. We also wish to thank those who continue to send in contributions as they are able. We forward these donations as quickly as possible as there are trials and potential therapies in the ALS pipeline that MGH and ALS TDI find very promising that need funding. They have sincerely appreciated your donations, (you have placed us as one of the top small donors of ALS research at MGH). At MGH, your money will be used to launch new trials using MRI and PET scans to better understand and diagnose ALS; to support research using blood and cerebrospinal fluid to discover and validate biomarkers in ALS, (this may lead to answers for the causes of ALS); and to support a study using stem cell technology that holds exciting prospects. And finally, a thank you to those of you who have contacted us with your ideas and plans of donations for the next round of golf and an auction on July 28, 2012 at Harmony Golf Course in Port Kent. This advance notice is greatly appreciated and a huge help with planning. Together we are all making a difference. Roger and Darlene Long ALS Raising HOPE Foundation Peru
To the Times of Ti: I am a life-long resident of Tupper Lake and read your editorial with interest, about how my community was under siege. First, I must say that I find it honorable and amazing how North Country communities are always willing to stand up for each other. I also whole heartedly agree with almost everything you had to say about the Adirondack Club and Resort project. This proposed development certainly has the potential to bring residents, tourists and jobs to Tupper Lake and could very likely be one of the largest economic boosts the North Country has seen since the Olympics. The developers of this project have faced fierce attacks from environmental groups for many years, yet have persisted with their goal of building a world-class resort in Tupper Lake that will include the re-opening of Big Tupper Ski Area. The resort has wide-spread community support and will hopefully receive approval from the Adirondack Park Agency in the near future. I must however, disagree with the second part of your editorial that attacks the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates (ARTA) for promoting the creation of a recreation trail connecting the tri-lakes. I believe the creation of a trail such as this, would bring much more economic benefit to Tupper Lake than restoring train service a few days a week for several months out of the year. A world-class recreation trail could be used year-round by locals and tourists alike for hiking, biking, running and skiing. The removal of the tracks would also allow for an extended snowmobile season on an easily groomed trail into Tupper Lake. I have utilized trails such as this in the past and found them to be an extremely popular tourist attraction. This proposed trail also runs alongside two large state-owned campgrounds that average approximately 180,000 visitors a year. The majority of these campers bring bicycles with them and could potentially take a scenic ride into Tupper Lake for the day because we are only 7 or 8 miles away. I believe that most people visit the Adirondacks for the purpose of hiking, biking, camping and skiing, not to ride a train. I could continue with what I believe to be the benefits of a multi-use, all-season recreation trail, but hopefully you see my point. The bad side to this argument is that the railroad tracks would have to be torn up to create this trail and a lot of effort has gone into restoring train service to Tupper Lake by the Next Stop! Tupper Lake committee. I have also supported the train in the past, but recognize a good idea when I hear one, and now fully support the creation of a recreation trail connecting the tri-lakes. There are also many more community members who support the creation of a trail in Tupper Lake and no one believes our restored train station would go to waste, as it could be utilized as a welcome center, museum, café or bike rental shop to name few. The bottom line is that there are no outside groups or environmentalists at work here. The ARTA has proposed building a world class recreation trail in the tri-lakes that has the potential to bring many tourists and outdoor enthusiasts to Tupper Lake to enjoy a peaceful, healthy, backcountry experience. The question is, can the residents of Tupper Lake agree on which option would be better for our community? It’s too bad a recreation trail wasn’t proposed earlier, but I support beginning a new campaign titled “First Stop! Tupper Lake” and utilizing our restored train station as a welcome center to great new visitors as they begin their journey down the Great Adirondack Recreation Trail!
Disagrees with editorial To the Times of Ti: Your editorial on Saturday was headlined “Help a community under siege.” That’s exactly what we are trying to do. Yet you criticized our new organization, the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates, for working against the best interests of Tupper Lake. You rightly characterize Tupper Lake as suffering economically, but you sure got it wrong when you accused ARTA of throwing up roadblocks to economic progress in that hard-pressed village. What ARTA wants is to convert the railway from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake into a recreational trail that will commercially benefit the Tri-Lakes Area and enable Tupper Lake to become, at long last, the tourist destination it needs and deserves to be. If the tracks are removed, as we advocate, and the rail bed is surfaced with compacted crushed limestone, the 34-mile recreation trail connecting Tupper with Saranac Lake and Lake Placid could attract tens of thousands of cyclists every year, maybe even hundreds of thousands to judge by the success of similar rail-trails in other parts of the country. Such a trail would also attract runners, strollers, birdwatchers, handicapped users, families with young kids, the elderly, athletes in training, and nature lovers of all kinds. In the winter, without the train tracks to impede them, the number of days that snowmobilers could use the corridor would likely double, a big step in making Tupper Lake a hub for snowmobiling. Other rail-to-trail conversions have produced millions of dollars in tourist spending every year. There’s no reason to doubt that this trail, which could be one of the most scenic recreational trails in the eastern United States, would be any different. Conversely, the tourist train that operates between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake has produced no measurable economic benefits during the eleven years it has been running. It’s hard to believe that extending the train service the next 25 miles to Tupper Lake would make it any more successful in terms of stimulating the local economy. (The idea of building a separate trail alongside the tracks from Placid to Tupper, as the railroad people now propose as a “compromise,” is totally impractical from both a financial and environmental standpoint. You may disagree with our preferred use of this travel corridor, and you may feel as some (but by no means all) Tupper Lakers do that the best future for the corridor is to continue the train from Saranac to Tupper. That’s fine, especially if you can provide solid facts to back up your position. But to impugn the motives of an organization that is devoted to creating a rail-trail that could only improve the economic condition of the region is irresponsible, shoot-from-the hip editorializing. Dick Beamish (Beamish is a resident of Saranac Lake and a founding member of ARTA)

Hospice care helps people focus on living To the Times of Ti: Our lives are individual journeys. As our journeys approach the last stages, many people focus on thoughts of loss and separation. It might help to understand that this time also brings the potential for sharing care, memories and time with our families and friends. The quality of life at this time is extremely important. The control of symptoms and availability of support and caring knowledge are key to maintaining quality of life. Sometimes it may actually help people live longer with less stress and discomfort. There’s an incredible resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect to those coping with a serious or life-limiting illness — It’s High Peaks Hospice. November is National Hospice Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compassionate care that your community hospice provides. The most important message that helps people understand hospice care is that it helps patients and families focus on living. The hospice team provides expert care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. The hospice team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, addresses symptoms 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, and by most insurance plans. Hospice care is provided wherever the person lives: at home or in a facility. Care is available to people of all ages, with any life-limiting 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, find out more about hospice and palliative care by calling me at 891-9631 and let me tell you why it has been my privilege to work in hospice care for the last 20 years.

Crown Point dinner a symbol of good By Rev. David C. Hirtle
W
hen so much of our attention and news is centered on financial despair, arguably created by greed and mis-conduct, I believe that a little good news goes a long way during this season of joy and hope. I’d like to acknowledge the intent, effort and the success of this year ’s 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. 23, this small community joined hands 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 both Frenchman’s and Maple Ridge restaurants, 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, 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. The management and staff of Frenchman’s made apple pies. Maple Ridge restaurant made all the cream pies and many dozen rolls. First Congregational Church made rolls and staffed the takeout meals. The United Methodist Church made all the stuffing and provided facilities and additional support. CPTELCO 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. The five turkeys were donated by Sacred Heart Church. Volunteers from local churches and the community at large hosted this year ’s community 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. 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 in house meals and delivered more than 50 meals 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 is the pastor of the First Congregational Church in Crown Point.

PoliceReport
Drug arrests continue The Essex County Drug Task Force has made more arrests as part of the ongoing roundup of alleged drug sellers in the county. Cody D. Douglas, 23, of Lewis was charged Nov. 22 with three counts each of felony third-degree sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, cocaine. He was arraigned before Essex County Judge Richard Meyer and send to the County Jail when he didn't pay $10,000 cash bail or bail bond. Phillip B. Hatch, 34, of Ticonderoga was charged with two counts each of felony fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, hydrocodone.
He was sent to the county jail pending arraignment. Police arrested 13 people on drug charges a week earlier. Members of the Essex County Drug Task Force, which includes the Essex County Sheriff's Department, New York State Police, Lake Placid Police Department, Saranac Lake Police Department and Ticonderoga Police Department, executed the warrants. The warrants were issued as a result of ongoing narcotics investigations conducted in and around Essex County, in conjunction with the Essex County District Attorney's Office. Carlos Maldonado, 54, of Ticonderoga was arrested Nov. 26 on a warrant and arraigned before Essex County Judge Richard B. Meyer on charges of fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a Class C felony; two counts of fifth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, Class D felonies; and fifthdegree criminal sale of a controlled substance, also a Class D felony. Bail was set at $10,000 cash/$20,000 bond.
Ticonderoga from page 1 Loon Lake Marina, said. “Those 13 kids will have no problem finding work.” The program was outlined during a presentation to school officials and students from Lake George, Bolton, Whitehall, Moriah, Crown Point and Ticonderoga Nov. 18. Also attending were representatives of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, Schroon Lake Marina, Loon Lake Marina, Yankee Boating Center in Diamond Point, Performance Marine in Bolton, EZ Marine and Storage in Brant Lake and Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga. Bob Palandrani, owner of Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga and a member of the Ti school board, has been instrumental in the development of the Marine Academy. He stressed the program is about much more than mechanics. “We’re talking about mechanics, fiber glass, painting, welding, woodworking, computers, sales, marketing, everything,” he said. “If a student’s not interested in becoming a mechanic that’s fine, there are a lot of other job opportunities.” Many of those jobs, he pointed out, are year-round, full-time opportunities. John McDonald, Ticonderoga school superintendent, said the marine program makes sense for his school. “I’m very excited about this program,” McDonald said. “Talking to the guys in the field, you realize there is a real need for welltrained employees. And it makes sense. Ticonderoga is the only community with free access to both Lake George and Lake Champlain.” Phinney agreed, noting the Mossy Point boat launch on Lake George will be a key part of the new program. The marina representatives stressed the availability of jobs and the need for the Marine Academy. “We need people,” Phinney said. “They don’t all have to be marine technicians. We have a lot of jobs that don’t require a master technician.” Palandrani agreed. He pointed out Snug
Representatives of area marinas turned out to show their support for the new Marine Academy at Ticonderoga High School. From left are Mike Graney, Ti High principal, Scott Andersen of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, Roger Phinney, executive director of the Eastern New York Marine Trades Association, Bernie Hill of EZ Marine and Storage in Brant Lake, Bob Palandrani of Snug Harbor Marina in Ticonderoga and Rich Stolen of Schroon Lake Marina and Loon Lake Marina. Harbor, between two locations on Lake George, hired 35 employees this past summer. Scott Andersen, manager of FR Smith and Sons Marina in Bolton, said he has been in contact with major marine manufacturers such as Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude and Volvo. He believes those companies will support the the Ticonderoga Marine Academy by providing specialized tools, training materials and computer access.
“Hopefully we can get to the point where kids can leave here with manufacture’s certification,” Andersen said. “They (manufacturers) realize the need to have young people in the industry and the need for trained technicians.” Andersen hopes the Ti academy can reach an arrangement with a local college to offer an associates degree program in marine technology. Andersen also believes the Marine Acade-
my can also expand in the future to train adult technicians. The nearest Mercury training center is in New Hampshire, he noted, and the nearest Yamaha training center is in Georgia. “When we send someone for training it becomes very expensive,” Palandrani said. “You’re talking transportation, hotels, meals. It would be great to have training available right here.”

Garden club to host flower show in Hague HAGUE — The Carillon Garden Club’s recent Standard Flower Show was “a delight for the eyes,” as stated more than once by attendees. The show, “Moments in Time,” was held at the Hague Community Center. Pat Wania of Hague was the chairwoman, overseeing all aspects of the show that featured horticultural and floral design divisions. A special reception was held on Friday, Oct. 7, that featured many treats. “All members of the club who participated are to be congratulated,” commented Wania. “The club has many talented and dedicated members.” The show was the first one for the club in six years and the first one organized by Wania, who just recently received her National Garden Club’s Flower Show student judge’s credentials. She has been attending National Garden Club approved classes to be able to instruct and critique all aspects of garden club flower shows. “The club is very fortunate to have Pat Wania as a member of the Carillon Garden Club,” said Betty Rettig, club president. Many arrangements were entered in the Design Division. Receiving blue/first place ribbons were Mickey Snye for her entries in “Childhood Memories,” an underwater arrangement and “Retirement Dreams,” an Exhibition Table arrangement. Vivian DenBleyker won a first for her “Granny’s Kitchen” arrangement on a pedestal and Susan Darrin won for
her creative doorway valentine arrangement in the “Holiday Magic” class. Irene Ilaria won a blue ribbon for her “Garden Romance” design for a table set for two. Florence Kunnas captured a first prize for her interpretation of “A Family Grows,” a buffet table set-up for eight. All entries featured quality floral arrangements. The public was encouraged to vote for their favorite arrangement for the “People’s Choice Award.” Vivian Den Bleyker won for her entry in “Granny’s Kitchen,” which featured an old fashioned sieve on legs with a “line/mass” design in bright fuchsia and yellow flowers. Florence Kunnas won the Carillon Garden Club Member ’s Sweepstakes Silver Bowl Award (given to Carillon Garden Club members) for gaining the most points in the Design Division. She won a blue ribbon in “A Family Grows” as well as a red/second place ribbon for her Adirondack style doorway entry in the “Holiday Magic” design class. The Horticulture Division showed the expert gardening prowess of club members as well as residents of the community. Each entry was judged on its own merits with many entries receiving blue ribbons. The Club Member ’s Sweepstakes Silver Bowl Award for horticulture was won by Susan Darrin for her unusual pitcher plant and other outstanding entries. Martha Soliday won the coveted Arboreal Award for her Chinese Umbrella tree branch. Special Educational Exhibits

were also on display. A “Preserving Our Environment” exhibit featured tips on designing a rain garden. A “Preserving our Past” exhibit featured the King’s Garden at Fort Ticonderoga and the “Sup-
porting Our Community” exhibit showed the recycling efforts of the Carillon Garden Club’s wreath recycling project. “The Standard Flower Show has been a wonderful learning experi-
ence for everyone,” remarked Wania. “No decision has been made yet about another show next year but with so much talent in the club it will be hard not to showcase the member ’s creative abilities again.”

Fort Ticonderoga adds to collection Powder horn donated TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga’s collection is strengthened by a recent donation of an engraved powder horn made in 1759. The horn is inscribed “JOSEPH STAB HIS POWDER HORNE 1759.” Joseph Stab’s identity thus far remains silent. A search of available records for the military campaigns of 1759 has not yet revealed who he was. Stab’s powder horn is engraved with a variety of scenes and images. Directly above his name is a hunting scene depicting a horseman and three hounds chasing a deer. Another part of the horn is engraved with what appears to be Indians in trees shooting at game. A variety of birds, trees and deer are depicted over much of the remainder of the horn along with depictions of sailing ships one of which is identified as “Sloop Oswego.” The British Navy sloop Oswego was constructed on Lake
Fort Ticonderoga’s collection is strengthened by a recent donation of an engraved powder horn made in 1759. Ontario in 1755 and captured (burned) by the French on Aug. 14, 1756, at the end of the siege of Fort Oswego. Was the sloop depicted on Stab’s horn as a memory of service in a previous military campaign? Further research may reveal the answer. Powder horns were regularly issued to American provincial and British regular soldiers in the
French & Indian War for carrying bulk gunpowder. Unlike what is commonly seen in the movies, soldiers generally did not load their muskets directly from a horn. The horn was a container in which to carry bulk gunpowder to later be used in making paper cartridges. Many soldiers had their horns engraved perhaps as a way of commemorat-
ing their military service. Although there is little direct information that survives regarding the process of engraving a powder horn, it appears from scant evidence that most horns were engraved by a only a handful of men, perhaps individuals with known artistic or engraving skills, serving as fellow soldiers in the army. Some powder horns
have poetic phrases reflecting upon specific events and military campaigns; others are inscribed with only the owner ’s name and date. Many powder horns have maps or floral or naturalistic scenes engraved on their surfaces. Each horn, however it is decorated is a unique record of a person’s military experience. Fort Ticonderoga’s collection of 18th-century military objects is considered one of the best of its type in the world. The collection of engraved powder horns numbers about 75 pieces spanning the French & Indian War and American Revolution. According to Chris Fox, Fort Ticonderoga’s curator of collections, “Each powder horn is unique and has a story to tell.” Dozens of engraved powder horns are exhibited in the museum each season and many will be featured in the museum’s newest exhibit “Bullets & Blades: The Weapons of America’s Colonial Wars and Revolution” opening May 2012.
Lake steward report released Program seeks out invasive species HAGUE — The Lake George Association has released preliminary results from the 2011 Lake Steward program. The LGA has managed training, hiring, supervision and reporting for the Lake Steward program since 2008. During the summer of 2011, LGA lake stewards were posted at six different boat launches — Norowal Marina, Mossy Point in Ticonderoga, Hague town beach, Rogers Rock in Hague, Dunham’s Bay and Million Dollar Beach. The stewards inspected 8,584 boats for invasive species, removed suspicious specimens from 52 boats prior to launch and educated over 19,000 people about the threats of invasive species and how to prevent their spread. “We had an extremely busy summer,” said Emily DeBolt, LGA director of education and outreach. “From over 8,500 boats inspected, 1,016 were at risk of bringing invasives into Lake George because they had been in a body of water other than Lake George during the past two weeks. Right now, Lake George has only four invasive species. Some of our nearby water bodies have dozens.” Upon launch, suspicious specimens were removed from 52 boats. Of those, 31 of the
boats were carrying at least one invasive species. The LGA recovered 22 samples of Eurasian watermilfoil, nine samples of curly-leaf pondweed, four of water chestnut and two of zebra mussel. The stewards also inspected boats returning to the launch after boating on the Lake. Seventy-three of these boats had suspicious samples removed. Of these, 46 boats contained at least one invasive species. The LGA recovered 15 samples of Eurasian watermilfoil, six of curly-leaf pondweed and two of water chestnut. “Our stewards ask the boaters if they have taken preventative steps to guard against the introduction and spread of invasive species. This year, 75 percent of the boats we interacted with said they had,” said Walt Lender of Ticonderoga, executive director of the LGA. “While this is definitely positive news, and shows that people are becoming increasingly aware of the need to properly clean their boats, we want to see these numbers go even higher in the years to come.” The program grew significantly from its 2010 level, when 2,538 boats were inspected at four launches. Additional funding provided this year by the Lake Champlain Basin Program and the Lake George Park Commission allowed for more coverage during peak periods and at launches that receive the highest traffic. Additional financial support was provid-

Froehlich Foundation. The program was originally conceived by the Invasive Species Task Force of the Lake George Watershed Coalition. In addition to inspection, lake stewards collected additional data about lake users and invasive species spread. This information sheds light on the pathways of invasive species, and helps to identify target areas for early detection and con-
trol. A full report for the public is being prepared and will be ready later this year. The program is closely coordinated with similar programs. Lake George, Lake Champlain, and the Adirondack Watershed Institute collaborate on training, printed materials, and data collection as members of a regional partnership, the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program.

Ti chamber membership growing By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is growing. The business advocacy group has added 20 new members since March and 37 since Matt Courtright became executive director a year ago. “We have been talking and sharing with area businesses about the benefits of
being a chamber member as well as the importance,” explained Courtright. The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is a private, not-for-profit representing over 160 members and 500 businesses. It has served the area 85 years. “The chamber speaks as one voice for the people of the community,” Courtright said. “The chamber of commerce cooperatively works with civic, social, cultural and educational organizations as well as local government to enhance living and
working conditions.” The Ti Chamber serves, markets and promotes Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah, Putnam and surrounding areas. It is also part of the Lake Champlain Region Visitor Center through the Essex County Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism. The new chamber members include Ticonderoga American Legion Post 224, Bill Blood Construction, Chadder Imports, Inc/Ti Mobil Mart, Community Bank, Crown Point Network Technologies, Crown Point Telephone, Fraternal Order of Eagles – Adirondack Aerie No. 4410, Friends of the Crown Point Historic Site, Glenburnie Estates at Lake George, Jayna Andersen Photography, Literacy Volunteers of Essex & Franklin Counties, Moriah Community Edge/Economic Development, NBT – Latremore Insurance, Party Productions USA, Pre-tech Precision Machining, St. Mary’s Church and School, Thatcher Realty, The Locust Inn, Timberlake Photos and Tractor Supply. “I am delighted to wel-
come the new members to the TACC family,” Courtright said. “A chamber membership is truly an investment in marketing and promoting your business, as well as supporting the community as a whole.” “Here at the chamber we work hard to serve and market our members and the area,” he added. “New members allow us to better serve the community and our area visitors.” Courtright said there are many benefits to being a chamber member. “It’s important for area business and organizations to be recognized as a chamber member in the Ticonderoga area community,” he said. “No single advertising effort can compare to having a year ’s worth of support and promotion from the chamber on a daily basis. “Benefits of being a chamber member include marketing, promotion, publicity and exposure, being included in the chamber directory, member and area information, member news, as well as the calendar of events. There are also opportunities for sponsorship/marketing,

Email: swiftmnt@localnet.com • www.swiftmaintenance.com TICONDEROGA — A long-time local physical therapist has opened her own practice. Wendy Bresett has opened Wendy Bresett Physical Therapy at 84 Montcalm St., Suite 5 in Ticonderoga. “I’ve worked 18 years as an out-patient physical therapist,” Bresett said. “I like the people I work with; I like what I do. This is the time for me to explore my own practice.” Bresett worked 14 years as a physical therapist at Moses-Ludington Hospital in Ticonderoga. She then worked two years as a contact physical therapist with Essex County before joining the staff at Northwoods Wellness in Ti. When Northwoods Wellness closed, Bresett decided to open her own practice. She now sees patients Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment. People can call her at 585-6003. Bresett offers a full array of physical therapy services. “I’m like an old-fashion doctor,” she said. “I do a little bit of every thing; whatever a patient needs.” Bresett acknowledged the local economy is struggling and this may not be the best time to open a new business. “These are tough economic times to open a practice, but I’m hoping for the best,” she said. “Without my family and friends I couldn’t do it.” Bresett has contact area doctors asking them to refer patients in need of physical therapy. She also hopes to continue working with patient who formerly went to Northwoods Wellness. “I’m off to a good start,” Bresett said. “Most of the area physicians and orthopedists are familiar with me; that helps out.”

Ti man reflects on square dancing career Burdick addresses Ad’k Torch Club
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Square dancing is a fun pastime for many. For Stan Burdick, it’s been a life-long love. A square dance caller and historian, the Ticonderoga man has called more than 5,000 dances in his career. He has called dances in every state, every Canadian province and 20 countries during his 60 years in the industry. Burdick and his wife, Cathie, published a worldwide square dance magazine, “American Squaredance,” for 23 years and he served 20 years on the board of governors of Callerlab, the California-based national organization for square dance callers. “It’s been a great experience for me,” Burdick said of his square dance career. Burdick returned to his roots for the Northern Lake George Rotary Club Harvest Hoedown Oct. 14 at the Ticonderoga Knights of Columbus. Backed by the Marcotte Mountain Music Band, Burdick called dances at the benefit event. Burdick recently spoke to the Adirondack Torch Club in Ticonderoga. He outlined the history of square dancing and reflected on his career. Square dancing traces its roots back centuries. The first printed guide to square dancing was published in 1651 in England, Burdick said. “We can thus conjecture that square dancing was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, and perhaps earlier, but not recorded,” he said. The dance came to America with the earliest settlers, Burdick said, pointing out George Washington was a avid square dancer. His favorite dance was the Sir Roger deCoverly, which remains popular and his

now known as the Virginia Reel. One of square dancing’s greatest advocates was Henry Ford, Burdick said. Ford held cotillions, inviting many of the nation’s elite to square dance. “In 1926 Ford published the book ‘Good Morning’,” Burdick said. “It became a best seller and contained instructions for quadrilles, lancers, squares, contras and rounds. A new revival had been born.” Following Ford’s lead, many schools began to introduce square dancing into physical education classes. While attending college in 1945 Burdick went to a square dance. The caller than night challenged the young men to “kiss her in the moonlight, if you dare...” “Well, I liked the kissing part,” Burdick said, “ and I liked the calling part.” Five years later Burdick was working at a boys camp in Rhode Island. His co-workers
decided to invite a nearby Girl Scout camp to a square dance and asked Burdick to be the caller. “The dance was a disaster, but I had found my calling, so to speak,” he remembered. He also found his future wife. Cathie worked at the girls camp and met Stan for the first time at that dance. In 1953 Burdick attended a workshop in Massachusetts to learn how be a professional square dance caller. Part of the training included calling actual dances. “When I got there the same Cathie from the Girl Scout camp had come to dance with her parents, who were accomplished square dancers,” Burdick recalled. “Those days at Becket (Massachusetts) convinced me I wanted Cathie to be my life-long dance partner.” The couple was married at the YMCA Conference Center in Silver Bay two years later.
That same year they started work at Silver bay calling dances. They did it for 42 years. “Cathie did the children and family programs and I called for teens and adults,” Burdick said. Over those years we entertained toddlers who came back to dance as adults, then another generation showed up and so it went.” Burdick still calls dances once a week at Silver Bay during the summer. When the couple wasn’t calling a dance, they were writing about dancing. They purchased “American Squaredance” magazine in 1968 and published it for 23 years. It reached a circulation of 23,000 readers worldwide. The Burdicks sold the magazine in 1991, but is still published today. Square dancing has taken the Burdicks around the world. The couple has danced at the U.S. Capitol in Washington and toured Europe. “One day in the summer of 1981 I was contacted by the British Association of American Square Dance Clubs,” Burdick said. “Would I come to the UK for a short time to call a few dances for them? Short time? Few dances? The trip turned into an exhausting two week loop all over the UK in September of that year, covering hundreds of miles, calling dances most every night, escorted by British dancers and callers.” Square dancing is not as popular as it once was, but Burdick believes it may be ready for a comeback. “It’s no secret that square dancing in the new century has greatly diminished,” he said. “Festivals are fewer. Many clubs have closed their doors. “However, a resurgence has come among the younger crowd,” he said. “We’ve seen it happening lately in full halls over the middle New York area. A new generation is involved. Is it a throwback from an earlier exuberant time? Does history repeat itself?”
Hacker-Craft included in Neiman Marcus Christmas Book Luxury boat in Christmas book SILVER BAY — A customdesigned Hacker-Craft has been selected for inclusion in the famous Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which has been mailed to 1.2 million recipients. “All of us are thrilled to have a Hacker-Craft selected for the Christmas Book,” said George Badcock, president & CEO of the Hacker Boat Company. The company is based in Silver Bay and a factory in Ticonderoga. “The annual holiday tradition continues this year with a new selection of fantasy gifts that cater to people’s wildest dreams and promise to provide truly unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences,” said John E. Koryl, president of Neiman Marcus Direct. “This year ’s gifts live up to the time honored tradition of presenting our customers with the rare and unusual, while also incorporating connections to a group of wonderful charitable organizations that will see a tremendous benefit from the sale of their corresponding fantasy gifts.” The Christmas Book includes this description of the Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft: “Chart a glamorous course in what is considered by boating enthusiasts worldwide to be the gold standard of pleasure boating. Entirely hand built in the USA, this 27-foot, solid mahogany wonder is the result of 1,400 hours of meticulous craftsmanship. Underneath 15 coats of hand brushed var-
nish and premium mahogany sits a glistening Mercury Marine 8.2 High Output 425-horsepower engine-CE, also compliant for use in Europe. A custom-designed bow burgee, gold-leafed waterline, underwater lighting, and deep violet bottom are among the rich details exclusive to the NM edition, which will feature the name you bestow it in gleaming 23-carat gold leafing. The ultra-posh, customized interior includes cream-colored seating with purple piping, a monogrammed humidor, topnotch refrigerator, GPS, and premium stereo sound system.

$3,000 donation to the Double H Ranch, a program that provides year-round support for families with children affected by life-threatening illnesses. Co-founded by Paul Newman and Charles R. Wood, the ranch offers unique camp experiences that are memorable, exciting, fun, and empowering.” It sells for $250,000. Ginger Reeder, vice president, Corporate Communications, Neiman Marcus Group Services, said of Hacker-Craft’s selection, “We look for the best. If we’re looking for a speedboat, we have to find the best on the market.” The Hacker Boat Company, founded over a hundred years ago, is the largest American manufacturer of classic mahogany motor-
boats. Each Hacker-Craft is hand built by master craftsmen
who spend over 1,500 hours of labor to build every boat. The firm builds runabouts,
sport boats, launches, tenders, racers and utilities from 24 to 35 feet in length.

Blood drive to honor Moriah teacher Dayton Dedrick back at work after accident
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Dayton Dedrick may be the luckiest unlucky man alive. Dedrick, who survived cancer four years ago, had a heart attack last May. Then, in September he was involved in a life-threatening accident. “It’s a good thing I have nine lives,” he joked. Dedrick, a Ticonderoga resident, returned to his job as a technology teacher at Moriah Central School this week for the first time since his September accident. That accident caused numerous internal injuries that re-
quired surgery and a lengthy hospital stay. “I’m doing a lot better,” Dedrick said. “My doctor has given me the OK to go back to work. I’m looking forward to getting back to school.” And his students are looking forward having him back. To mark his return the Moriah Central School National Honor Society will sponsor a “Donate for Dedrick” blood drive Thursday, Dec. 8, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the school. People are encouraged to schedule an appointment by calling 546-3301 ext. 403 during regular school hours. “The National Honor Society always sponsors a blood drive in December, but this year when we learned that Mr. Dedrick needed a total of 17 blood transfusions during his time in the hospital, it made us real-
ize just how much blood is actually needed when there is an accident,” said Sue Nephew, Moriah library media specialist and honor society adviser. Dedrick is thrilled the students are having the blood drive in his name. “I think it’s really neat,” he said. “I’m honored.” Dedrick was the focus of benefit efforts in Moriah and Ticonderoga in 2007 when he suffered from Hodgkins lymphoma. He thought he had beaten the disease once, only to have it come back a second time. After rounds of chemotherapy and a stemcell transplant he seemed to one the road to good health until his May heart attack and September accident. Dedrick, age 37, and his wife, Megan, have two sons, Carter and Hayden.
The Moriah Central School National Honor S ociety will sponsor a “Donate f or Dedrick ” blood driv e Thursday, Dec. 8, 10 a.m. t o 3 p.m. at the school in honor of teacher Dayton Dedrick, who was injur ed in an accident last fall.
High Peaks Hospice names executive director TylaAnn Burger takes helm PORT HENRY — TylaAnn Burger has been named executive director of High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care. “High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care is pleased to welcome TylaAnn as its new executive director,” said Fred Oberst, hospice board president, said. “TylaAnn brings a broad array of experiences in hospice care having been a hospice clinical director as well as having established a hospice and serving as its executive director. She is also one of very few certified hospice and palliative care administrators in the United States. TylaAnn brings a wealth of knowledge about and a deep commitment to hospice, as well as compas-
sion for our patients, staff and volunteers. “As we look forward to our next 25 years, the board of directors and staff are excited to be welcoming TylaAnn to High Peaks Hospice and Palliative Care.,” he said. After a decade in ICU and ER work, a hospice social worker told Burger that she was really a hospice nurse and she should start doing that work. She took that advice and started as a staff nurse at Hospice of Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia. Over the next 20 years, Burger developed increasing expertise in both clinical and administrative roles. In addition to her rise from a supervisor to clinical director and then executive director, she has created specialty teams, taken a senior leadership role in a 42 bed inpatient hospice facility for people with end-stage
TylaAnn Burger AIDS and founded a hospice designed to care for the under-served and disenfranchised communities of the inner-city. Burger worked as an adjunct instructor at Widener University on
aging, death and dying and other end-of-life issues. In 2001 she authored the pain and symptom management chapter of a new textbook, “Nursing in End-of-Life Care.” After 20 years in Philadelphia, she is returning home to New York State. Hospice is designed to give supportive care to people in the final phase of a terminal illness and focus on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal is to enable patients to be comfortable and free of pain, so that they live each day as fully as possible. Pain and symptom management is a primary focus. Hospice programs generally are home-based, but they sometimes provide services away from home -- in nursing homes, or within hospitals. The philosophy of hospice is to provide support for the patient’s emotional, social, and
spiritual needs as well as medical symptoms as part of treating the whole person. Family and loved ones are also cared for during this time as well during their bereavement. Hospice services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance providers; however HPH&PC serves all, regardless of their ability to pay. The mission of High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. is to provide end of life care that listens with respect, cares with compassion, supports with choice and comforts with understanding wherever people call home. The organization has been providing end-of-life care to residents of Franklin, Essex, and Warren counties for 25 years. For more information call 546-9850 or go online at www.highpeakshospice.com.

A Day to Remember Nicole & John October 9, 2011
Hudson Falls couple wins wedding package giveaway GLENS FALLS — The Adirondack Wedding Association (AWA) awarded a free wedding package from its spring planning weekend in Glens Falls to a Hudson Falls couple, who married at noon Sunday, Oct. 9, 2011. The wedding, according to AWA spokesman Mark Brenneisen, took place in Crandall Park with a reception following at Sweet Basil Restaurant in Queensbury. Brenneisen advises the AWA membership of over 70 vendors, who graciously voted to donate elements of an entire wedding reception last spring to one local couple in need. Contestants had to submit an essay to AWA to qualify, and the winner was voted on by the membership. The hard decision was made, and the package was awarded to Nicole Maines and John Hoague II, both of Hudson Falls. “Miss Maines has been enduring a condition known as Idiopathic Intra-Cranial Hypertension (IIH) since 2009, when she was diagnosed,” Brenneisen said. “She has a Ventricular-Peritoneal Shunt (VP shunt) in her brain running from a programmable
valve on the outside or her skull down to her abdomen which deposits excess fluid into her peritoneal cavity. Nicole has had several surgeries in the past and continues to deal with daily headaches, nausea, severe hearing loss and periodic loss of vision. “She met her fiancé, John, in Union Springs, N.Y. over 10 years ago while attending boarding academy together. They have remained in contact, and when Nicole moved back to the area in 2009, they began their life together, while also supporting Nicole’s 5-year-old daughter, Vanessa. The bride’s parents also lost their house a couple years ago and are not able to assist with the wedding planning or payments. Miss Maines remains out of work since 2009, pending a disability hearing to determine her status.” Donations from AWA members include, along with their values: Sweet Basil, all food/beverage at cost; Total Entertainment five-hour free reception (worth $1,300); Collignon Photography, wedding and reception shoot ($1,500); North Country Photoworks, engagement session ($300); Bigler produc-
tions video, ceremony and full bridal cut ($1,000); Tina’s Hair Affair, bride’s trail and hair styling ($200); Arbonne, bride and wedding party makeup ($200); Danielle’s Bridal, bride’s dress ($500) and groom’s tuxedo ($150); Blooms Florist, half of wedding flowers ($250); Cottage Crafts Florist, half of wedding flowers ($250); Pristine Limousine, three hours free limo ($400); The Living Harp, free ceremony music ($300); Stomach Cakes, free wedding cake ($300); Sleep Inn, free overnight in Jacuzzi suite ($200); and Dunham’s Bay Resort, free rehearsal dinner ($500). The total package value was about $7,650. AWA finishes with this statement: “This first annual prize promises to be a very special day in the lives of two people and their families. The AWA commands over 40 percent of the regional market collectively among its membership and is home based in Glens Falls, at 206 Glen St. AWA produces the largest bridal shows in the region, and awards over $35,000 in free wedding packages, prizes and giveaways from its vendors annually.”

Schroon senior play slated ‘Krazy Kamp’ this weekend By Fred Herbst

SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake is renowned for its summer camps — although not camps like those portrayed in the annual Schroon Lake Central School senior play. Seniors will present “Krazy Kamp” Friday, Dec. 2, and Saturday, Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. Tickets are $5. The comedy is the tale of two summer camps. On one side of beautiful Lake Lookeeloo is Camp Pocahontas, an exclusive resort for young ladies. On the other side is Camp John Smith, inhabited by a wild bunch of unruly males. Camp John Smith has been declared “unfit for habitation” and given only a few days to get itself in shape. The camp director pleads with the director of Pocahontas to allow the boys “shelter” for a day or two — otherwise he’ll have to return their tuition. “What happens when peaceful Pocahontas shares space with the crazies from ramshackle John Smith?” asks Laura Corey, the play’s director. “Naturally, no one is to know the boys are staying, including the camp’s owner, Mrs. Thistlemist. There’s a parade of flaky intruders and wild characters: Elmer Crumb, from the carnival, with his associate, Cleopatra Nile, who never travels without her snakes; Clams Marinara, the infamous hood; the flashilydressed Dixie, who carries a tiny pistol in a violin case; and a poison ivy victim who resembles a walking mummy.” Complications pile on top of one another until oncelovely Camp Pocahontas learns the state inspector has declared it unfit for habitation. Corey promises a surprise ending.

Just contact me at Paradox Crafts.” Paradox Crafts is open Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tyrrell can reached at 532-0551 or 683-5609 or by Email at paradoxcrafts@aol.com Its website is www.paradoxcrafts.com “Leave a brief message and I will call you back,” Tyrrell said. “Individual appointments can be arranged during off hours.” Tyrrell opened her business to make custom quilts, but Paradox Crafts quickly expanded. “I was sewing all the time; doing a lot of odd jobs for people,” she said. “I was doing
well, so I decided to open my shop. Last November I had one order. This week I’ve had seven. Business is better than I ever expected.” Paradox Crafts started in her home. Recently Tyrrell remodeled her porch to serve as home to the business. And what about those quilts she wanted to make? “I still make quilts, but the T-shirts and hats are my best sellers,” Tyrrell said. “I have a lot of things here and I can make just about anything.” At right: SamanthaTyrrell just celebrated her first anniversary as a business owner.

that they will still be hosting Santa’s arrival, helping to usher in the holidays here in Schroon Lake.” Mehm said activities are still being sought for the event. “We would like to find some type of child-focused entertainment to be a part of the activities at the senior center. Either a craft, storytelling or a musical performance, would be a great addition to the festivities,” she said. Interested people can contact Mehm at 791-3578. That same day, the annual Schroon Lake Community Church and Saint Andrews Episcopal Church Christmas bazaar will be held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Community Room of the Schroon Lake Community Church.

The Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce has dropped sponsorship of its annual Old Tyme Christmas celebration after 25 years. Instead, the chamber to hold
First Night Dec. 31. “We’ve had a lot of requests for a First Night,” said Laura Donaldson, chamber president. “Our entire purpose is to help local businesses and we feel a First Night can be a boost.” The family-oriented evening will include magic, music, dancing, children’s activities, food, a bonfire and fireworks. Magician/puppeteer Sylvia Fletcher and the Magic Trunk will perform three 30-minute shows in the Schroon Lake Central School
Auditorium. Show times are 5, 6:30 and 8 p.m. The band Loose Connections will play for a hour sock-hop community dance in the Schroon Lake Central School gym from 5 to 9 p.m. Also planned are family fun activities 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Schroon Lake Central School.

More information can be obtained by calling the Schroon Lake Chamber office at 532-7675.

of Santa at the Strand Theater, a Christmas movie at the Strand, local performers, a community sing-along at the Community Church, refreshments at the Schroon Lake Senior Center, children’s crafts and activities at the Towne Store and horse and carriage rides leaving from the Grand Union parking. The chamber held two First Night celebrations in the past — New Year ’s Eve 2003 and 2004 — to mark the beginning and end of the town of Schroon’s bicenten-
nial celebration. “Those First Nights were very successful,” said Sharon Piper, co-chair of the First Night committee. “People have asked for another First Night. You could say we’re bringing it back by popular demand.” Donaldson is confident people will enjoy the First Night celebration. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” she said. “I think it’ll be a great addition to the holidays in Schroon Lake.”

Sentinel cagers have new look By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga boys basketball team will have a new look this season as it defends its Section VII Class C championship. The Sentinels graduated five players — four starters — from that team. Gone are Nick Mars, who led Ti in scoring and rebounding, and Matt Nolan, the club’s top playmaker. But the cupboard isn't bare for Coach Joe Defayette. Ticonderoga does return five players and gains some size in its newcomers. “We should benefit from our height this year,” Defayette said. “I also expect our returning players to be good leaders I think we should contend
again for the section title.” The Sentinels posted an 8-12 overall record and went 7-3 in the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference in 2010-11. Nate Lenhart, Sean Smith and Will Lawrie return at guard for Ti. They’re joined by rookies Michael Graney, Jordan Fuller, Allen Zhang, Karney Manning and Nick Bezon. Lenhart led the team in steals last season, snaring 1.6 a contest. Joe Gonyeau and Doug Wilson give Ti a veteran presence at forward. They’re joined by newcomer Cody Henthorn. Riley Chapman, new to the team, gives the Sentinels size in the pivot. Assisting Defayette with the coaching chores this sinter are Rick Merrill, Todd Mitchell and Eric Mullen.

Lady Sentinel coach confident in her team By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — There are few veteran players on the Ticonderoga girls basketball team, but Coach Shelly Young is confident. “I’m very excited about the way this team is coming together,” Young said. “If they continue to work together we should be able to get back to the sectional championship game.” The Sentinels posted a 4-10 record a year ago, but did manage to the reach the Section VII Class C title game. That team was hit hard by graduation. Gone is leading scorer Kaylene Ross. The front line should be the strength of the Ti team. Meg Campney, Delaney Bush and Sam McLaughlin return at forward. They’re joined by rookies Kylie Austin and McKenna Kelly.
Andrea Rich is the lone veteran in the back court. Joining her are Keely Cooper, Tiffany Purkey, Lexi Moore and Jaelyn Granger. Katie Palandrani is also on the roster, although she will miss the season because of a soccer injury. “I’m looking for Rich and Campney to lead the team in scoring and rebounding this season,” Young said. “New to the varsity are Lexi Moore and Tiffany Purkey. I really like the way these two players are working and learning. I hope to see them gain more and more time on the floor as the season progresses.” Young said Cooper and Granger give the team quickness that should help on defense. The coach also noted the athleticism and height brought to the team by Austin and Kelly. “We have a group of young, hard-working players,” Young said.
Assisting Young with the coaching chores this season are Tina Russell and Shannon Huntington.

Ti track optimistic despite loses Sentinels return 13 athletes
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga’s thinclads are optimistic entering the 2011-12 indoor track season. “We are impressed with what we’ve seen in practice thus far,” Coach Walter Thorne said. “There are a lot of holes to fill from last year ’s team. Depending on how quickly the newer athletes pick up the technique and develop will determine how well we do. We expect the team to be competitive and do well in the sectional track meets.” The Sentinels have 13 athletes returning from a year ago. Jay Hebert, who qualified for the state championship meet in the 55-meter hurdles, is back to lead the sprinters and jumpers. Also back are Coleman Granger and Jarryn Granger. New to the sprints and jumps are James Cook, Devin Davis, Marcus Moser, CJ Raymond and Shawn Silliman. Javeed Nazir, who reached this fall’s state
cross country championship race, is back to anchor the distance events. Also returning at distance are Brandon Charboneau, Martin Glazer, Cody O’Hara, Andrew TerSteege and Brandon Wright. New to the distance races are John Cook, Ryan Price and Kody Quigley. Josh Ross returns to lead Ti’s throwers. Also back in the throwing events are Steven Bussey, Corey King and O’Hara. Dennis Towne was expected back, but a football injury will sideline him this winter. New throwers are Blake Gautreau, Cody Shaner and Zechariah Yaw. “Jay Hebert, returning state qualifier in the 55m hurdles, along with Jarryn Granger and Coleman Granger, will set the tone in the sprints and 4x160 relay,” Throne said. “Joss Ross will lead the throwers. Javeed Nazir will lead a large core group of distance runners.” Graduation hit Ticonderoga hard. Gone are a corps of top sprinters and distance people from last season. “The loss of our state qualifying relay team, our top distance runners, long and triple jumpers will have an impact on our

team,” Thorne said. “Depth is certainly a weakness in these events. Hopefully our new athletes will pick things quickly as we build for the future.” The coach is optimistic, though. “I expect our boys team to be competitive in section this season,” he said. “There should be a fierce competition amongst the teams in the Section VII.” Assisting Thorne with the coaching duties this winter are Jay Wells, who works with the distance team, and Phil Kneller, who mentors the throwers.

Panthers have high expectations By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Crown Point boys basketball team may be on the brink of good things. The Panthers were 1-9 in Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference action last season, but were competitive in almost every game. This winter 11 players return from that squad. “We have a lot returning from a competitive squad,” Coach John Swinton said. “We will be looking for a lot of senior leadership from this team in hopes of having a nice season. It’s all about working hard and committing to ourselves and each other and our style of play. “We’ve set high personal and team expectations for the season,” he added. “The kids are excited.
We’re a bit under-sized, but we should be able to make up for it with hustle.” Nathan Tabor, Tanner Macey, Caleb McGuinness, Dan Groshans and Duke Mildon return at guard. THey’re joined by rookies Joe Foote, Jaice Spring, Jordan McIntosh and Gabe Macey. Tabor led the Panthers in scoring last season with 12.7 points a game. He also topped the club with 37 three-pointers. Tanner Macey paced the team in steals with 2.1 a game. Jeff Clarke, Jake Courcy, Jimmy Greenough, Mike Gould, Jon Spaulding and Ryan Worth give Crown Point a veteran front court. Gould and Spaulding led the Panthers in rebounding a year ago, each hauling in 7.2 caroms a contest.

Crown Point hopes to turn corner fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — The Crown Point girls basketball team hopes experience will be the difference between close losses and wins this season. The Panthers return all eight players from a year ago when they posted a 5-12 record. “With an overall record of 5-12 last season, many of our losses came down to the last few possessions of the game,” said Kevin Peters, who is coaching the team along with Elaine Dixon. “We feel our team is stronger this season with experience and has the confidence to finish those close games.
With all players returning, this year the Lady Panthers look forward to a very competitive season.” Marissa Titus, Courtney Meachem and Amanda Wolf will man the front court for Crown Point. Julianne Glebus, Alexis Holman, Ellen Kiely, Michaela Comes and Heather Ryan will line up in the back court. “Marissa Titus had many strong games last season, both offensively and defensively,” Peters said. “Alexis Holman and Amanda Wold also had many strong games, both in scoring and rebounding. Julianne Glebus and Ellen Kiely round out a balanced team attack.”

Moriah steps up in class Defending Class D champs are now Class C
By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah boys basketball team will not defend its Section VII Class D championship this season. The Vikings have moved to Class C. “We are a Class C school this year, so sectionals will be a little different,” Coach Brian Cross said. “The competition will still be solid, though.” Moriah returns six players from last winter when it posted an 11-11 mark en route to the Class D title. It lost two key layers, however. Nick Gilbo, who led the team in scoring and rebounding, and Isaac Aponte, who topped the Vikings in assists and steals, have graduated. “We have a lot to replace in losing Nick Gilbo and Isaac Aponte,” Cross said. “We’ll look to our seniors for leadership.” Those seniors are Landon Cross, Tim Breeyear, Jim Curran and Carlo Calabrese. All return from the 2010-11 season. Cross, Breeyear and Curran will play at forward along with newcomers Ryan Shpur, Derek Brassard, Dakota Marcotte and Brian Mauran. Calabrese will man the center position. Thomas Slattery and Keith Ida return at guard for Moriah. They’re joined in the backcourt by rookies Jessup Calkins, Mike Mero, Travis Nephew and Zachary Beeman.
Moriah hopes to improve on its 6-8 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference record from last season. “The league will be very tough again this year,” Coach Cross said. “Division II schools will be tough to compete with and AVCS and Ti (Ticonderoga) will be tough in Division II. If we can stay healthy we should be competitive in the league and the section.” Assisting Cross with the coaching duties this season are Don Tesar and Chris Lobdell.

Moriah girls team excited by season Vikings return 10 players
PORT HENRY — There’s plenty of reason for Moriah girls basketball fans to look forward to the 2011-12 campaign. Ten reasons to be exact. That’s how many players the Vikings return from a year ago when they posted a 6-10 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference and 8-11 overall record.
That team and all its statistical leaders return — virtually in tact. Leading the veteran squad will be Hayley Waldron at center. Last season she topped the Vikings in scoring at 8 points a game, rebounding and steals. Courtney Carson and Stephanie Mauran also return to give Moriah a deep and experienced pivot. Hailey Chapuk, Lauren Pelkey, Emily Cutting and Santana Martinez return to the back court for the Vikings. Chapuk was the team’s second-leading scorer and rebounder, See VIKINGS, page 31

Wildcats eye section championship By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Last season the Schroon Lake boys basketball streaked through the Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference undefeated, advancing to the Section VII Class D championship game. Schroon was 11-0 in MVAC action and 16-3 overall a year ago. This winter the Wildcats have their sights set squarely on that section title. Why not? The ‘Cats return six players from that team, including division Most Valuable Player Jesse Shaughnessy and first team all star Ian Williams. Shaughnessy, Williams, Noah Gath, Matt Filler, Matt Savarie and Uriah Harvey give Schroon Lake a veteran corps.
“These players will provide the foundation for this year ’s team,” Coach Lee Silvernail said. “This year ’s team is quick and athletic. The presence of 6-foot-5 Uriah Harvey should be a challenge for opposing teams.” “They are motivated and ready to challenge for a Section VII title,” the coach said. Shaughnessy, Williams, Gath, Filler and Savarie give the Wildcats a fast, athletic back court. They’re joined by rookie Robert Rose. Harvey will anchor the front line along with newcomers Jeffrey Armstrong and Dylan Jack. Armstrong has been impressive in pre-season workout and is expected to start along side Shaughnessy, Williams, Gath and Savarie. While Schroon boasts a veteran team, it has a new coach. Silvernail, who has coached the Wildcat
girls team in the past, is taking over the boys helm. Long-time coach Dana Shaughnessy, who led the Wildcats to league and section championships, was not re-appointed to the job this season by the school board.

Vikings have court experience Depth may be an issue for MCA By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Mountainside Christian Academy roster is thin this winter, but the Vikings boast an experienced club. MCA only has eight players, but five of them are back from last season’s 9-8 team. “We have four starters returning and we’re hoping the new guys can fill the other position,” Coach Paul Mieras said. “We have warriors and out focus is to glorify God on the court and off the court. We are asking our kids to push themselves to do their best and God will do the rest.” Leading the returning players for Mountainside is Duncan Sabatini, who led the team in scoring at 15.2
points a game and rebounding with 7.4 a contest a last winter. Sabatini will play forward along side rookie Matthew Legacy. John Andryuk, Brandon Mieras, Steven Lamos and Chris Bresnahan Jr. return play in the back court for the Vikings. They’re joined by newcomer Sam Lintner. Andryuk scored 12.9 points a game and grabbed 4.9 boards a contest last winter. He led the team in assists with 6.2 a tilt. Bresnahan topped the team in steals last season, average nearly three a game. Socrates Fermin-Perez will man the pivot for the Vikings. Assisting Mieras on the bench this season will be Chris Bresnahan Sr. Pictured at Right: John Andr yuk scored 12.9 points a game and grabbed 4.9 boards a contest last winter fr M ountainside Christian Academy.

Mountainside Christian Academy Lady Vikings return veterans MCA drilled in fundamentals By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Mountainside Christian Academy featured a very young girls basketball team a year ago. The Vikings are hoping that pays off in 2011-12. MCA returns six players from last winter ’s 9-5 club.
“We had a very young team last season,” Coach Dawn Wayson said. “We went back and started from the basics. Each girl improved and had a great attitude during our season. Our focus was giving glory to God, whether win or lose.” Elora Sabatini, Brianna Mieras and Sarah Cruickshank return to play guard for the Vikings this season. They’re joined by rookies Laura West, Sara West, Corrinne Pelkey and Carrie Bresnahan.

we want to be competitive. “Then comes our very young, but eager and hardworking sophomores (Fiore, Veverka and Megan Hall) who are going to push some of the older girls for playing time,” the coach added. “I believe our bench will be a strength for us this year.”

The new parcel offered the potential of a brand new, water route, which would permit paddlers to access Duck Hole, located at the very core of the High Peaks Wilderness Area. Surrounded by the High Peaks of MacNaughton, Santanoni, Sawteeth, and Seymour Mountains, Duck Hole also serves as the intersection of four trails, the Bradley Pond Trail, the Lake Placid-Northville Trail, the Henderson Lake Trail and the Ward Brook Fire Truck Trail. It is located over 7 miles from the nearest trailhead or road. Solitude is the most outstanding feature. Prior to October 2006, the route had been closed to the public for well over a century. But when it was finally opened, I was there waiting, with pole, and paddle ready. My first venture over the new route into Duck Hole, took place over the weekend of Halloween, in October 2006. It was a cold, wet, windy and While Duck Hole pond will no longer support brook white affair trout, the river will continue to offer fine, backcounfrom what I try fishing. could see at

the time. Peering through blowing leaves, driving snow and pouring rain, it appeared to be a very scenic site. Duck Hole Pond is considered to be the source of the Cold River, and several small brooks and streams feed the pond, including Roaring Brook and the outlet of the Preston Ponds. After the initial visit, I returned to Duck Hole for a weeklong trip in the spring of 2007, to fish, hike and explore. Once again, I was greeted by high water conditions, with water levels that were approximately 3 feet above normal. It was during this visit, that I first became aware of the fragile nature of the Duck Hole Dams. The main outlet dam, which at one time also served as a bridge to the Bradley Pond trail, was seriously deteriorating. Further beyond the outlet dam, another dam stretched for over 300 yards along the south shore of the pond. This long, coffer dam, which was only five or six feet high, was also leaking. Although several volunteer groups had been lobbying the DEC to restore the dams in recent years, Mother Nature ultimately made the decision when Tropical Storm Irene unleashed a torrent that washed out the dam. As a result, Duck Hole was reduced to a smaller and shallower impoundment. Although it is still accessible via paddle and portage, the pond can no longer support the once thriving brook trout fishery, as the waters are simply too shallow. However, I do expect the Cold River will continue to support a viable, brook trout fishery. Despite a host of continued appeals, DEC spokesperson Lisa King explained in a recent email, “The agency does not intend to restore the dam at Duck Hole, in the High Peaks Wilderness area which was breached as a result of Tropical Storm Irene. By leaving it as is, the affected back-
With water levels reduced by over six feet, Duck Hole P ond has been reduced to less than half of its o f rmer surface area. The NYSDEC recently announced the agency has no plans to restore the breached dam. country in this area can return to a more natural state.” Currently, there are several dams in similarly deteriorating conditions, including the Cedar Lakes dam, and Marcy Dam. Without immediate attention to address these problems, there is a strong probability these other dams will suffer a similar fate. According to a recent report authored by scientists at Cornell University, Columbia University and the City University of New York and funded, New Yorkers should begin preparing for hotter summers, snowier winters, severe floods and a range of other effects on the environment, communities and human health. Released by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the report warns that climate change will drastically affect how we conduct our outdoor activities, warning that native brook trout and Atlantic salmon will decline, but bass will flourish in warmer waters. Great Lakes water levels will fall. Coastal wetlands will be inundated, and saltwater will extend further up the Hudson River. Adirondack and Catskill spruce-fir forests will disappear, as invasive insects, weeds and other pests increase, and winters will tend to get wetter and summers drier. “The flooding from Irene and Lee brought the classic types of impacts we project to occur in the report,” explained Art DeGaetano, a climate expert from Cornell.
