Ticonderoga revamping aged zoning regulations TICONDEROGA —The town is currently working to modernize its outdated zoning law. The Ticonderoga town zoning law hasn’t been substantially updated for more than 20 years. The revisions are expected to allow more types of businesses in many parts of town, and bring the law into conformance with the town comprehensive plan passed by the Ticonderoga Town Council in 2006. The current zoning law is largely derived from suburban-style zoning of the 1960s, and the newly-formed Ticonderoga Zoning Revision Committee, made up of business and agriculture representatives and interested citizens, is working to

Public informational meeting planned for Jan. 11 draft a revised law that will be more appropriate for a small, rural and tourism-oriented town. The town zoning map is also being updated, so district lines will largely follow property boundaries. That means that many pieces of land that are now in more than one zoning district will be in just one district, eliminating uncertainty about where the zoning district boundaries are located. The committee will be working on the revisions into spring 2010, and will prepare drafts of each

TICONDEROGA — For many years there has been a special bond between third graders at the Ticonderoga Elementary School and the members of the Ticonderoga Elks Lodge. Each year the third graders have collected nonperishable food to support the Elks Christmas charities project. Each year the number of bags of food collected has increased until the last two years when more than 90 bags of much needed food was donated. This food will be distributed by the Elks on Christmas Eve morning. The Elks, in turn, have shared much with the students. In addition to a delicious Christmas luncheon at the Elks Lodge each year, the Elks have donated wonderful dictionaries to each student in third grade. These books are a wealth of useful information in addition to being a comprehensive dictionary. Students can study maps of the continents, find information about all 50 states, read biographies of our 44 presidents, learn facts about the solar system, read copies of the Declaration of Independence and the US constitution and much more. Third graders and the Elks have the same motto — We’re Caring and Sharing.

Students to construct bridges TICONDEROGA — Students from Ticonderoga High and Middle Schools and St. Mary’s School were treated to an hour presentation by structural engineer Tom Hoffman of Region 1, New York State Department of Transportation, Nov. 18. About 25 students met after school to hear Hoffman explain the various types of bridges and some of the critical design elements that go into designing and maintaining a bridge. He focused much of his attention on the Crown Point Bridge including why it had to be closed and what must be done to replace it. The presentation was part of the Kiwanis Popsicle Stick Bridge Building program. The principle objectives are to stimulate interest among students in engineering as a career and to teach students to work effectively in teams The contest will be held on Dec. 19 at the Ticonderoga Middle School. Students will construct their bridges followed by judging and loading the bridges to failure. Trophies will be awarded for the strongest and best looking bridges.. This year the contest is open to high school students as well as middle school students from Ticonderoga Middle School and St. Mary’s School. Ticonderoga Middle School technology teacher Jim Marshall, Ti High School

science teacher Paul Jebb and Pam Arzberger of St. Mary’s are providing mentoring and other assistance to the students.

Graham Bailey, past president of Kiwanis, who organized the event last year, will also provide guidance to the students.

It Wasn’t A Landslide Congratulations to District Attorney Julie Garcia for running an honest and honorable campaign. Many Essex County citizens are deeply disappointed at the outcome, but they must keep in mind that Julie lost by only 125 votes. With almost 13,000 ballots cast, this is a margin of less than 1 percent. Julie Garcia remained true to her belief that only the truth mattered and fear has no place in a democracy. Though her opponent won the race, she did not win by a landslide and she didn’t receive a mandate from the people of Essex County. District Attorney Garcia spent the last four years working for all of the citizens of Essex County, never allowing politics or politicians to dictate her action or run her office. She brought much needed honesty and integrity back to the D.A.’s office after years spent under a political cloud. Students from Ticonderoga High and Middle Schools and St. Mary’s School were treated to an hour presentation by structural engineer Tom Hoffman of Region 1, New York State Department of Transportation, recently. The presentation was part of the Kiwanis Popsicle Stick Bridge Building program.

Submit items for publication to editor Fred Herbst at fred@denpubs.com

NOW OPEN AT OUR NEW LOCATION:

Those who have worked with her, and the people of Essex County whom she has protected, will sorely miss District Attorney Julie Garcia. We can only hope that our new District Attorney will be as honest and hardworking as her predecessor. Our best wishes and thanks to Julie Garcia for a race well run.

A meal fit for a king To the Times of Ti:

On Halloween night of this year, we (five adults) headed out trick or treating with 12 kids ranging in ages 1 1/2 years to 13 years old. The kids were real excited, after all they had to wait all day to go. We left the “family home” on Cossey Street at around 4:30 p.m. and headed up the hill and over Rock Street, we were headed up Woody Lane when we noticed the black sky, the kids started getting nervous and wondering if they were gonna get to finish trick or treating. As we arrived at a friends house (Mrs. Lolly Drinkwine) the storm began to hit. Thank God for Lolly and her caring ways! As everyone should know we got a pretty good storm that night. Lolly opened her heart and her garage to us. We would all like to extend our up most thanks to her and her kindness that night. Just as the storm started to let up here comes the van. It was Uncle Bill and the kids couldn’t have been more happy to see him. He was coming to find us knowing the baby was sick and her mom didn’t want to even take her out, but certain circumstances arose and she had too. So Uncle Bill took the baby and some others back, the rest of us walked back to get our vehicles and we drove the kids around. The kids had a lot of fun and got tired fast. So again we thank our two heroes who opened their hearts and showed the children that Halloween is not just for scares and tricks but also for real treats, like kindness. Thanks from us all. Lori Ledger Brown Rebecca Ives Paula Moses Amanda and Charlie Moses Ticonderoga

On Oct. 29 VFW Post #146 held their annual post dinner for members and their guests at the Elk Lodge #1494. The room and tables were decorated to the theme of honoring all veterans. You gave us a dinner that was fit for kings and queens, what a wonderful feeling. The food was wonderful, but the thing that stood out the most was the dedication of the people who prepared and served the meal. We would like to express our gratitude to Richard Nadeau (Exalted Ruler), Peg Lamb, Ray and Marge Scott, Fred and Sharon Hammond, Dona Croto and any other members that were involved. Thank you to all of you that made this a memorable evening for all of us. Eugene Lobdell, Commander VFW Post #146 Ticonderoga

The town of Ticonderoga planning board has scheduled a public hearing for an application submitted by Mr. John Rayno. Mr. Rayno would like to build a mobile home park to be located in the former Fireman’s Field. This is the acreage between Park Avenue and Third Avenue and behind the Walmart Supercenter. I attended a previous town planning board meeting on Nov. 5 at which Mr. Rayno made his original proposal. With all due respect to Mr. Rayno, I spent several years in a senior mobile home park and five years as a full-time RV’er and I found his presentation very vague and lacking in good planning. In my judgement and from my experiences it left many questions unanswered as to the development and possible success of his proposal. This area will be developed sooner or later and the town of Ticonderoga needs growth, but growth that will be positive for the town, now and for many years to come. We don’t need something that will be an eyesore in the future. I believe that one can look around this town and see areas where, in some cases, lack of good planning has resulted in poor development and negative impact on the town as a whole. In other words, eyesores. I feel that the planning board may be wise to look at other areas and communties that have had positive and negative results in mobile home parks and RV parks. I have every confidence that our planning board will take a very careful review of Mr. Rayno's proposal. Fredrick Hammann Ticonderoga

OPINION • TIMES OF TI - 7

Reader mail: Can I save more with store brands? GET READYI FOR W INTER!

I

t’s time again to answer reader mail from people like you who are learning to Super-Coupon: Q: “I’ve been reading your columns with great interest. Prices seem so high right now in the grocery store. If I just buy the store brand of products, won’t I save more money than using coupons on the big brands?” A: This is a common misconception among new coupon shoppers. It’s true By Jill Cataldo that when you compare the shelf price of store brands with the price of name-brand products, the store brands often appear to save us more money. But with rare exceptions, we can almost always buy the name-brand products that we like and prefer — with coupons — at an even better price than the store brand. Why is this? Quite simply, there are more coupons and discounts available for name-brand products than for storebrand products. If you look at your coupon inserts from the newspaper and the wide variety of coupons available on the Internet, you’ll quickly notice there are typically no coupons for store-brand items. Large, brand-name product manufacturers work hard to encourage us to try their products. They feature their brands and products in the coupon inserts, offering shoppers significant discounts to try them. Many times, it’s also possible to find store coupons for the same products. If we stack a store and manufacturer coupon together, we’re reaching an even larger savings on the brand-name item than we could by simply purchasing the store brand at its regular low price. As with all things, there are always exceptions. If your store happens to offer coupons for its own brands, that’s a great

way to save. Here’s a perfect example. Recently, my store had coupon dispensers set up in the aisle offering $1 coupons for “any [store-brand] paper product.” During this sale, storebrand rolls of paper towels, boxes of facial tissue and packages of the napkins were all on sale for $1. Now, if you’re a regular reader of my column, you know that using a $1 coupon on a $1 sale is one of my favorite ways to get things for free! Speaking of coupon dispensers, our next question this week pertains to them. Q: “I often see coupon machines on the shelves of the grocery store, but the coupons in them aren’t usually for things on sale. Is there a strategy for getting good discounts with these?” A: Absolutely! You’re right in noticing that most of the time, the coupons in the store’s coupon dispensers don’t link up to the best sales in the store. That’s also true of the coupons we receive in the newspaper each week. Their greatest value comes when the price of the featured item takes a big dip. I regularly “shop” the coupon dispensers in my stores. If I see coupons for an item I like, I will take a few to hold onto until the sale price drops. About six weeks ago, my store’s coupon dispenser offered $2 coupons for turkey bacon. But the turkey bacon was on sale for $4.99, a relatively high price. I took a few coupons from the dispenser and held onto them for four weeks … when the price of the turkey bacon went down to $2.99. Now, I took home turkey bacon for 99 cents a package! If I had used those coupons the week I found them in the dispenser though, I would still have paid $2.99 a package — three times the price. © CTW Features

SATURDAY December 5, 2009

HOLIDAY SEASON OFFERS EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES TO COMMUNICATE ABOUT DRINKING The holiday season offers an excellent opportunity for parents to communicate with their children about drinking says CYC Connecting Youth & Communities. ”Children who live in homes where alcohol is not the focus of holiday get togethers may be less likely to grow up thinking that drinking is the key ingredient to having a good time,” observes Kristi Mars, Director of Ticonderoga-Putnam-Hague CYC. “Parents should keep in mind that children are very observant and may be more influenced by adult behavior than what parents actually tell them about drinking.” Recent research even suggests that holidays may be one environmental factor that can increase risk or confer protection from alcoholism within families. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, alcoholism may become more harmful to family functioning and more likely to be passed to the next generation if drinking interferes with such activities as dinner times, holidays, vacations and other family rituals. Conversely, researchers believe that maintenance of family rituals, even through years characterized by heavy drinking, may prevent alcoholism from being passed between generations. In addition, detailed studies indicate that the adult children may be at less risk for developing alcohol-related problems if their parents deliberately engage in family rituals. Successful holiday celebrations should offer plenty of alternatives to drinking so that guests will not be tempted to drink excessively and so that non-drinking guests will not feel left out. Non-alcoholic beverages, food and activities other than drinking will help to ensure a safer, more inclusive party. Instead of bringing a bottle of alcohol to a holiday party, guests should consider giving a gift that everyone can enjoy, such as a dessert or a holiday decoration.

TIPS FOR SAFE HOLIDAY PARTIES Be sure that this year’s holidays live up to your expectations. Take care of your friends, your family and yourself by following these simple guidelines.

FOR HOSTS: • Do not let someone who has been drinking drive. Arrange for him or her to sleep in your home or to ride with a sober driver. • Provide your guests with an attractive selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Remember that about one-third of all adults in the U.S. abstain from drinking alcohol completely for a variety of reasons. Remember, too, that informed, health-conscious adults whom you know to drink on occasion will prefer non-alcoholic beverages in the following situations: 1. if they are pregnant or trying to conceive 2. if they are using medicine of any kind 3. if they have had difficulty keeping their drinking moderate in the past 4. if they plan to drive after your party 5. if they wish for some other reason to avoid any of alcohol’s many short-and long-term effects. • Never serve alcohol to anyone under the age of 21, for whom it is an illegal drug. Remember that your responsibility for drinking by underage

guests lasts beyond the time they are in your home. Remember, too, that alcohol-related car crashes are the leading cause of death for 15-to 24-year-olds. • Provide your guests with nutritious food. Eating will slow alcohol’s effects. • Appoint a bartender to monitor guests’ drinking and serve measured, standard drinks rather than doubles or “holiday specials.” Guests can better control their drinking when they are drinking amounts with which they are familiar. • Do not serve alcohol to an intoxicated guest. Offer him or her a non-alcoholic drink, but remember that nothing can “sober up” a person immediately. It takes the human body approximately two hours to metabolize each ounce of alcohol; coffee or a cold shower can only create a wide-awake drunk instead of a sleeping one. • Choose fruit juices instead of carbonated mixers. Carbonation speeds alcohol absorption. • Be sure that drinking does not become the primary focus or activity of your party. • Stop serving alcohol at least one hour before the party ends.

FOR GUESTS: • Do not drink if any of the following is true: 1. you are pregnant or trying to conceive 2. you are using medicine of any kind 3. you have had difficulty keeping your drinking moderate in the past • Feel free to refuse alcohol for any other reason, regardless of pressure or encouragement to drink. • Do not drink if you are a child or adolescent. For anyone under 21, alcohol poses a number of serious health risks. In addition, it is for this age group an illegal drug. • If you drive, do not drink; if you drink, do not drive. There is no safe level of alcohol for drivers because everyone reacts differently to alcohol on different occasions. If you are going out with others, decide beforehand who will drive on the return trip. Do not ride with drivers who have been drinking. • Eat before and during occasions when you are drinking. • If you are a woman, remember that alcohol will have a greater effect on you than it will on a man of your weight.

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga boys basketball team will be short on experience this winter. The Sentinels return just four players and have a new head coach. Matt Cossey has taken the reins in 2009-10. He’ll build his club around veterans Robert Kearns, Dylan Overbeek, Robert teRiele and Brian Losher. They return from last season’s 11-5 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference, 13-8 overall team. New to the roster are Jessie Perkins, Tanner Purkey, Nate Lenhart, Matt Nolan, Dan Morrison, Jesse LaRose, Nick Mars, Ryan Wendell and Bryant Austin. “All four returning players saw significant time on the court last year and each will be counted on to be a leader,” Cossey said. “Newcomers Jesse Perkins, Tanner Purkey and Nate Lenhart will be expected to contribute right from the

Lady Sentinels look to repeat Indoor track program kicks off TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga looks to repeat its girls basketball success of a year ago in 2009-10. The Sentinels return six seniors from a club that won the Section VII Class C championship last season. It won’t be easy, though. “The team is looking to build on the success of last year,” Coach Shelly Young said. “We did lose Julie Thompson, Carly Tubbs and Alex Smith to graduation. Tubbs is presently playing for Hartwick.” Thompson led the team in scoring and returning last season, while Tubbs and Smith proved to be solid contributors. Returning seniors are Sam Diehl, Chelsea Budwick, Jocelyn Barber, Jamie Patchett, Meg Vradenburg and Taylor Denno. New to the Sentinels roster are Jenell Coffin, Kate Mercer, Sarah teRiele, Kaylene Ross, Calsie Granger, Jessica Blodgett and Autumn Olcott. “I look for Jocelyn Barber, Meg Vradenburg and newcomer Sarah teRiele to take over in the post position vacated by Thompson,” Young said. “I also feel we have a strong contingent of guards led by Sam Diehl and Chelsea Budwick. “I feel this season we are a strong team with a deep bench,” Young added. “This team has been working hard since the first day of practice and all 13 players will have an important role in the overall success of the team.”

Wildcats have big shoes to fill this season By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake’s boys basketball team is about to find out about life after Ethan Tyrrell. Tyrrell, arguably the area’s best player the past two seasons, has graduated. The Wildcats will have to replace 20 points a game lost with their Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference all star and four-year varsity player.

Coach Dana Shaughnessy is looking forward to the challenge. “With five returning players and a talented group of young men coming up from JV I expect a very interesting season,” Shaughnessy said. “We will need to work hard to develop a level of play that Ethan brought to us.” Leading the returning Wildcats are Brennan Bush and Cody Armstrong. Bush scored 14 points a game and hauled down 12 rebounds a

contest as Schroon Lake posted 157 overall, 8-2 MVAC record last season. Armstrong added seven points and two caroms a game in 2008-09. “Brennan Bush and Codu Armstrong will prove to be the leaders this season,” Shaughnessy said. “With Brennan’s rebounding and Cody’s sharp shooting, I look forward to a great season.” Bush will line up at center along with Jordan Taylor. Armstrong will play guard with

Schroon looks to remain competitive By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake girls basketball team has been a power the past few seasons. The Wildcats won section championships in 2007 and 2008 before posting a 16-4 record last winter. What about 2009-10? Schroon returns six players, but will be hard-pressed to replace a pair of key graduates. Ashley Whitty, who averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds a game, is gone along with Emily Whitney, who led the club in assists and steals. But more than statistics, the three-year starters provided the team with leadership and stability, Coach Lee Silvernail said. “It’s time for new players to step up,” Silvernail said.

“We’ll be a very quick and athletic team,” Silvernail said. “We’ll get after the ball on defense; everyone can score and must be accounted for.” The coach is counting on his veterans to lead the way, but has been impressed with his rookies — particularly Bessey. “She’s quick, scrappy, aggressive,” Silvernail said.

Lady Vikings return just one starter By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — Moriah will field a young, inexperienced girls basketball team this season. The Vikings return just one starter and three others from 2008-09, when they posted a 6-10 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference record and 6-13 overall mark. The one returning starter, Sam Slattery, led Moriah in scoring at 6.5 points game and assists with 44 last winter. She was second on the team in steals with 36. Coach Steve Pelkey said Slattery will be asked to do a lot, even moving from her normal guard position to forward at times. The Vikings are also counting heavily on the other returning players — Jarrah Jerdo, Chynna Allen and Dana Aurilio.

“They need to be our leaders on and off the court,” Pelkey said. Slattery and Jerdo will man the back court along with rookies Chelsea MacDougal, Santana Martinez, Jamie Poirier, Lauren Pelkey and Harley Chapuk. Allen and Aurilio will be joined in the front court by newcomers Hayley Waldron, Catherine Hickok, Brooke Sheffer and Brittany Orr. “We’re a very young ball club,” Coach Pelkey said.

The Moriah basketball team, though, started practice two weeks after all other teams while many of its players were still on the football field.

Whalen led the Vikings in scoring with 12 points a game and rebounding with 10 boards a contest a year ago. Also returning to the front line are Nathan Gilbo, Nick Gilbo, Mike Speshock and John Petro. They’re joined by rookies Wally Edwards and Tom Slattery. Tom Tesar, who led the team in assists in 2008-09, returns at guard along with Phil Belzer and Ralph Schofield. They’re joined by newcomers Zack DeSimone, Dustin Tesar and Larry Wintle. “Rebounding should be our strength with Whalen, both Gilbos, Speshock and Tom Slattery leading the way,” Coach

Panther boys to rely on height, speed By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Boasting the biggest player in the area, the Crown Point boys basketball team has size. What may surprise rivals is the Panthers’ speed. “We have some size, but we are very, very fast,” Coach Randy Mandy said. “We have 11 players on our team this year. All will be counted on to step up.” John Eric Budwick led Crown Point to a 12-6 overall and 8-3 Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference record last winter. The 6-foot-8 center is back along with his 18.2 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and two assists a game. The Panthers will also have an experienced backcourt. Tony Rodriguez, Will Glebus, Cody Wayman and Max Mesones all return at guard. They’re joined by rookie Caleb McGuiness. At forward are newcomers Juan Mosquera, Nate Tabor, Doug Marshall, Jeff Clarke and Tanner Macey. The new players were the nucleus of a modified team that went 16-0 last season. “John (Budwick) will be asked to do a lot,” Mandy ac-

knowledged. “Tony Rodriguez, Will GlePanther schedule bus and Cody Wayman will be counted Dec. 1...at Keene on to have a good Dec. 3...Willsboro year. Max Mesones Dec. 4...Moriah Tournament has a lot of hustle and Dec. 5...Moriah Tournament is a very good defenDec. 11...at Bolton sive player.” Dec. 15...at Schroon Lake Mosquera is a Dec. 17...Wells strong shooter and Jan. 6..at Willsboro should make an imJan. 13...at Westport mediate impact, Jan. 15...at ELCS Mandy said.

Lady Panthers boast experience, optimism By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — With seven experienced players and a new coach, the Crown Point girls basketball team enters the 2009-10 season with plenty of optimism. Kevin Peters has taken the Panther helm.

CROWN POINT • TIMES OF TI - 23

Crown Point taxes expected to drop By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Town taxes are expected to decease in 2010 for Crown Point residents. “Most everyone should see a tax decrease in 2010,” Supervisor Dale French said. The town board adopted the $1.7 million budget for next year Nov. 12. The 2010 budget totals $1,723,450. That’s an increase of $63,193 — 3.8 percent — from the current spending plan of $1,660,257. The amount to be raised by local taxes in 2010 will be $1,022,868. That’s an increase of $9,334 — less than 1 percent — from the present tax levy of $1,013,534. The 2010 tax rate in Crown Point will be $8.92 per $1,000 of assessed value. That’s a 6 percent decrease from the 2009 tax rate of $9.46. Residents without town water service will

Thank You

see their tax rates drop from $7.33 per $1,000 of assessed value to $6.92. The tax rate will go from $9.46 to $8.92 or about a 6 percent decrease. Outside the water district the rate will go from $7.33 to $6.92 or again about 6 percent. Most everyone should see a tax decrease in 2010. French noted the major increases in the 2010 budget are in retirement, which jumps $20,000, and employee health insurance, which jumped 15 percent. The budget also includes raises of 2.5 percent for town employees, including elected officials. Those increases are offset by sales tax revenue distributed by the county, the supervisor said. Starting in 2010 towns will get .25 percent of the county sales tax. That sales tax revenue is expected to total $56,000. Crown Point will also benefit from a growth in assessments in 2010. The town tax base went from $123 million in 2009 to $133 million for next year.

To everyone in the Town of North Hudson who supported me in the election. I will not let you down. Sincerely,

State offers financial relief to those affected by bridge closure TICONDEROGA — New York State has announced the creation of a $2.935 million economic assistance program to help North Country businesses affected by the Lake Champlain Bridge closure. The program will address the region’s full range of economic industries by awarding grants to small businesses; making low-interest loans to assist small firms in paying employees and keeping their doors open; and helping farms and manufacturers offset increased travel costs. The Lake Champlain Bridge economic assistance program will be administered by the Empire State Development Corporation and has three components: — $1.3 million for cash grants to retail and service firms that have suffered revenue losses of at least 20 percent during the fourth quarter of 2009 fiscal year, when compared to the same period last year. These grants will compensate up to 50 percent of uninsured loss, up to a maximum of $10,000; — $1 million for agriculUnited Way of Clinton & Essex Counties Inc.

tural and manufacturing firms to reduce added business costs due to the distance that detours add to their routes. Initial loans for working capital and capital investment can be converted to grants upon retention of employment; and $635,000 in loans to help cash-strapped firms maintain payroll, order inventory and pay for operational expenses. For more information about qualifying for the program, contact Empire State Development at 1-800-7828369 or Email champlainbridge@empire.state.ny.us. Local officials praised the economic assistance plan. “It is impossible to truly understand and appreciate the hardship of those who have been directly impacted as a result of this bridge closure,” Sen. Betty Little said. “It is more than a disruption. Their lives have been turned upside down. Everyone I’ve worked with recognizes the severity of the situation. This announcement by Gov. Paterson is good news offering more than hope, but real relief, to those

who have been suffering financially.” Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward agreed. “I am pleased the governor has reacted to the difficult situation resulting from the Crown Point bridge closure,” she said. “Our rural businesses face many struggles in the best of times. This assistance program will help our neighbors get through the lean months until a permanent bridge is completed.” Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said: “This is very good news for the businesses that have been devastated by the closure of the bridge and for the number of employees who depend on it for their livelihood. I think it’s evident that Gov. Paterson and our state representatives realize the severity of this crisis and we certainly appreciate all they are doing to help us through this.” Ticonderoga Supervisor Bob Dedrick lauded the announcement. “What the governor has shown with this package is that he has listened to the fears and turmoil that many

EMPLOYEES OF CHAMPLAIN NATIONAL BANK & LOCAL UNITED WAY VOLUNTEERS & DONORS

of the business have gone through because of the closure of the bridge and he has reacted to those concerns and given them hope,” he said. “Because of this generosity, businesses will be kept open and this will help get them through an extremely difficult time in their lives.” Barbara Brassard, executive director of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, said: “Small businesses will find this very welcome news. This assistance is necessary to keep area businesses on their feet as we continue to tackle this crisis. The chamber will continue to work with the governor and our elected officials to address the needs of the businesses impacted by the bridge closure.”

Second magical season ends for Moriah

Nick Gilbo, named the game's Most Valuable Defensive Lineman, has his eye on the ball carrier early in the game. Photos on this page by c2w-studios.com

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

SYRACUSE — With another chance to claim the state Class D championship that eluded them a season ago, the Moriah football team met with more frustration. Lacking the services of star tailback Ron Schofield in the first half, the Vikings never could recover from his prolonged absence, falling 41-0 to Randolph Nov. 28 in the state title game at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. Moriah head coach Don Tesar said that Schofield, who rushed for 295 yards in his team's state semifinal win over Eldred on Nov. 20, violated a team rule, leading to his sitting out the first half. “You can't really replace him,” quarterback Nate Gilbo said. “Still, I don't think we were mentally prepared to play.”

Indeed, Schofield's absence had a lot to do with Moriah getting just 68 yards in the first half. Even when he returned, though, Schofield had just 19 yards on eight carries - and Randolph was out of reach. For the game, the Vikings had 121 yards of offense, with the Cardinals piling up 440 yards. Just as in 2008, Moriah was facing an undefeated Section VI (Western New York) opponent. Maple Grove topped the Vikings 55-7 in the title game 12 months ago, and Randolph was just as formidable. Even though the Cardinals had not thrown a pass in its three previous games, it didn't have to, due to the dominance of its ground game. Randolph piled up 601 yards on the ground in its state semifinal win over Groton, and it stayed with the running game against the Vikings - at least in the early going. As Schofield waited for his chance to play, Moriah stopped Randolph on its first drive into Viking territory. But late in the first quarter, the Cardinals struck. Taking a handoff on his own 46-yard line, fullback Alan Lockwood broke or eluded four different tackles running right, then turned left and outran the rest of the Vikings to the end zone on a 54-yard touchdown run. Down 7-0, Moriah had a chance to answer early in the second quarter, driving to Randolph's 36-yard line, only to get stopped on fourth-and-two when fullback Nick Gilbo got stopped by several Cardinal defenders at the line of scrimmage. Randolph promptly drove 63 yards, all on the ground, converting a fourth down deep in Viking territory, and scoring on Matt Lundsten's two-yard run to make it 14-0 - a tough situation, but not out of reach, especially with Schofield set to return in the third quarter. At least, that is, until Randolph stopped Moriah again on fourth down near midfield late in the half. A few plays later, quarterback Mike Maycock did something he hadn't tried in a month - throw the ball. And it wasn't a small screen pass, either. Maycock threw deep, and found Ryan Beach, a 39-yard strike that set up Maycock's own four-yard TD run 44 seconds before halftime. Tesar said the passing didn't surprise him. And Randolph, now up 20-0, went back to it again after a sequence of three straight turnovers - an onside kick recovered by the Cardinals, then back-to-back fumbles, one from each side. Following a roughing-the-passer penalty, Maycock threw a 22-yard pass to Erik Bruder, and two plays later the pair

Those two scores, just 41 seconds apart, helped Randolph pull clear, and it added two more TD's in the second half by returning to its trusted ground game. All told, the Cardinals, who won its second state championship (it also took the 2005 title), had 364 rushing yards, with Matt Hettenbaugh (111 yards) leading the way. Though the Vikings' dream of a state title fell one win short, it still could look back with great pride on another memorable season. The senior class, in particular, stood out throughout their careers, losing just four games and pulling off three undefeated regular-season campaigns. “Their goal was to get back here (to the Carrier Dome),” Tesar said. “Only the final outcome was disappointing.”
