TICONDEROGA — A food co-op store is being investigated in Ticonderoga. The town has received a Quality Communities Planning Grant from the New York Department of State to study the feasibility of creating a food co-op in the community. “We’re more apt to get a co-op type store than a chain grocery store,” Ti Supervisor Deb Malaney said. “This will allow us to see what our options are.” The town is working with PRIDE of Ticonderoga on the study. A food cooperative or food co-op is a grocery store owned, organized and operated by members. Since decisions about how to run a cooperative are not made by outside shareholders, cooperatives often exhibit a high degree of social responsibility with an emphasis on local, natural foods. “The town will work on this along with PRIDE,”

contributions in 2012. “The elves at Christmas Express are very busy and extremely concerned about how they will fulfill all those Christmas wishes that create holiday memories and magic,” said Patti Mehm, who helps with the charity. “The current economic situation has had a huge impact on the number of families seeking assistance, with the most numbers of families seeking assistance, while at the same time, limiting those able to give this holiday season.” The Children’s Christmas Express will serve about

50 children, from infants to age 13, this year, Mehm said. “As in numerous years past, toys and other items are gathered from within the community,” Mehm said, “and then those special items are delivered to each household. The wishes are so simple, like warm boots, mittens or a baby doll. They touch my heart and help put the season into perspective for me.” Mehm and Christmas Express participants are asking people to make gift donations and to support the CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Attendance, revenues, donations increase as Fort Ti enjoys successful season By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Fort Ticonderoga officials report a banner year for the historic

landmark. Revenues, attendance, donations and other measures are all up in 2012, according to Beth Hill, president and CEO of the not-for-profit fort.

“We have worked so hard and our team is delighted to see such positive progress serving this incredible site,” Hill said. Fort Ticonderoga’s paid attendance increased nearly 6 percent and admissions revenue increased by 18 percent over 2011. Program revenue is up by 38 percent and field trip programs up by 8 percent. Annual donations grew 18 percent and membership in the Friends of Fort Ticonderoga group is up 38 percent. “This has been a remarkable year,” Hill said. “Fort Ticonderoga has been able to redefine what is possible and generate increased income and support to fulfill its mission. We still have a great deal of work to accomplish, but we are very pleased with 2012’s successes.” Fort Ticonderoga completed the first phase of a three-part comprehensive plan in March. The plan, led by PGAV Desti-

Beth Hill nations, a global destination planning firm, identified a number of “quick win” strategies that were implemented by the fort’s leadership team. “The ‘quick wins’ are intended to provide immediate sources of revenue to fund operations, planning efforts and the implementation of plan elements,” Hill explained. “They required very little capital and provided rich opportunities to experiment with new strategies and tactics that inform the development of a long-term comprehensive

plan. They have resulted in an energized team and excited stakeholders who are committed to the success of the organization. “Most importantly, the ‘quick wins’ immediately improved the daily guest experience and directly support Fort Ticonderoga’s mission,” she said. The “quick win” changes included a new site access point, a new pricing structure, specialty tours and new programs to attract a broader visitor base. “In addition, the fort continued to refine its brand focusing on site-specific and authentic historical interpretation on a level that sets it apart from most cultural and historic destinations,” Hill said. The second phase of the comprehensive plan is expected to begin in early 2013 and will include product development and a plan for Fort Ticonderoga’s future capital

growth, said Hill, who was hired as executive director in 2010 and was named president and CEO this year. In 2011 Fort Ticonderoga trademarked its brand as “America’s Fort” and was named a top destination in the Adirondacks by US News and World Reports Travel. The Fort Ticonderoga Association operates the facility. Open to the public since 1909, Fort Ticonderoga is the earliest restoration of its kind in the United States. It preserves North America’s largest 18th-century artillery collection, 2,000 acres of historic landscape on Lake Champlain and Carillon Battlefield, the largest series of untouched 18th-century earthworks surviving in North America. Fort Ticonderoga is accredited by the American Association of Museums. For information on the fort call 585-2821 or go online at www.Fort-Ticonderoga.org.

Malaney said. “We’ve hired a firm that set up the Middlebury co-op and others.” The town has contracted with CDS Consulting Co-op to assess the market and financial feasibility of a project in Ticonderoga. “The market study portion was completed in October and next week Bill Gessner, the lead consultant from CDS will be presenting the financial pro forma to a small group,” said Sharon Reynolds, PRIDE executive director. “Once we have received the entire product and summary of their findings, we will be sharing it with everyone. “There is a lot to learn about the business of a consumer owned co-op and our hope is that this information will spark not only interest in supporting a co-op, but finding someone to step forward and lead the effort,” she added. “In the short time I’ve been with this project I’ve found it’s a huge undertaking and requires an active and interested community to support it.” Once the consultant has completed its work, a final report will be placed on the town website as well as the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce websites. “CDS Consulting has worked with many co-ops, including the Middlebury co-op, and has developed a systematic approach to planning, implementation and new store projects,” Reynolds said. Malaney hopes a Ticonderoga co-op can be similar to the Middlebury Natural Foods Cooperative. That store is open seven days a week 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Operated by a board of directors elected by membership, the Middlebury co-op emphasizes healthy foods, making a positive impact on the local economy and stresses environmentally sustainable and energy efficient practices. The Middlebury Natural Foods Cooperative began in the early 1970s as a pre-order buying club. Its purpose was to provide members with wholesome, natural foods that were not available elsewhere. To maximize savings, members bought in bulk and packaged the food themselves. During the last 30 years, the co-op has expanded several times to include a store-front operation that is open to members and the public. It includes a prepared foods section and deli with indoor and outdoor seating. At one time Ticonderoga had three commercial grocery stores. It now has one, Walmart. Malaney said Ticonderoga officials have approached several grocery chains about locating in Ticonderoga, but have failed to attract any serious interest.

Times of Ti Editorial

Time to battle invasives is now ---“Lake George is, without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw ... its water is as limpid as crystal.” So wrote Thomas Jefferson to his daughter in 1791. But in the modern age — with its isolation compromised by modern transportation, flourishing tourism and development along it shores — Lake George’s purity has come under assault. In the 1980s, lake scientists at the Darrin Freshwater Institute in Bolton Landing issued warnings that human activities in and around the lake were threatening the quality of the water — which not only provides recreation for residents and visitors, sustenance for wildlife, but drinking water for thousands of local citizens. The lakewater was being polluted by stormwater runoff and seepage from septic systems in the basin, and it was threatened by nonnative plants and creatures that were beginning to take hold. In response, regulations over septic systems were toughened, and recently, a law banning the use of phosphorus fertilizers was enacted. Action was taken to control the spread of Eurasian Milfoil, a fast-spreading foreign lakeweed that threatened recreation in shallow bays of the lake. Then in 2010, a researcher for the Fresh Water Institute discovered Asian clams in the lake, prompting new concern over the spread of invasive species, which experts say threaten the health of the local tourism-based economy, the purity of local drinking water, and the future of the lake itself. Asian clams, proliferating in western U.S. waterways including Lake Tahoe, multiply at an exponential rate and cause huge algae blooms, threaten traditional recreational activities like swimming and fishing, as well as usurping the food supplies that existing aquatic wildlife depend on. In response to the threat, environmentalists formed an Asian clam task force, and about 900 benthic-barrier mats were set out in several shallow areas of Lake George to smother the invasives, with the belief the species could be eradicated. The Lake George Association and the Fund for Lake George were leaders in tackling this new threat. Subsequently, new Asian clam beds were located, and the eradication effort was expanded. In late September, the Warren County Board of Supervisors pledged $270,000 toward the effort to control Asian clams in Lake George, boosting their accrued contribution to a sum of

$500,000. In the meantime, the Park Commission had been researching a mandatory inspection and boat-washing program that is expected to curb new introduction of clams and other invasive species into Lake George. They sought to have all boats to be pressure washed if they weren’t certified as clean, drained and dry. Their initiative was prompted in part by actions taken to control invasive species in Lake Tahoe, as well as a voluntary local Lake Stewards inspection program conducted since 2008 on Lake George by the Lake George Association. These Lake Stewards, in inspecting more than 24,000 boats, discovered the presence of invasive species present in or on nearly 400 watercraft. In May, leaders of lakeside municipalities joined with environmental groups pledging to impose a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program if the state didn’t take action on its own through the Park Commission. Their pledge was based on a report which concluded that comprehensive action was needed as soon as possible to curb Asian clams and a half-dozen other invasive species. Although the science shows that early action is vital to success, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has avoided endorsing a mandatory boat inspection program. But Friday, Nov. 30, Warren County supervisors serving on two of the panel’s committees voted unanimously in conceptual support of a mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program. If passed on Dec. 21 by the full board, county Attorney would draft a law requiring all boats launched in all the county’s lakes and public ponds to undergo inspection and certification — and when traces of invasives are discovered, the vessels would have to undergo decontamination at a washing station. We applaud their bold action. At the very least, the resolution may prompt the state to start taking the issue of invasive species seriously. We also urge the political leaders of all Adirondack counties to enact parallel resolutions so Warren County’s message carries more weight with the state’s legislators and top executives.

The recurring nightmare

ur nation is severely polarized. That’s certainly nothing new. I think we all hoped that after the election Washington would begin taking serious steps toward solving the problems facing the nation or at the very least one side or the other would have enough momentum to assume a leadership role. Unfortunately our national tug of war persists and gridlock continues to be the strategy of choice used by both parties. Even more than the nation choosing to reelect President Obama, it seems by the choices America made, we collectively see value in maintaining this gridlock method of governing. How else can one explain the total election outcomes where neither side has gained any advantage? Based on the current discussions, if that’s what we can call them, the parties continue to stake out their positions, and instead of working toward the middle they appear to be going farther away in the opposite direction. Yes, Republicans have signaled a lukewarm willingness to accept tax increases. As I understand it the total of those increases will pay for eight days of federal government spending. The president has countered with the proposal of even higher tax increases than he ran on and new spending that will offset any of the reductions he is proposing. He has also suggested that in place of coming back to Congress for approval to raise the national debt each time the ceiling is reached he should just be given the authority to raise the ceiling as needed. The game of chicken continues. The so called fiscal cliff rapidly approaches and we’ve had this nightmare before. Just before the clock ticks midnight a short term bandage deal will be approved, the big problems passed along to the next Congress, that by the way, looks and will likely act much the same as this Congress and nothing, but nothing is really solved. All they will accomplish is a brief extension and then more of the same in a few months when the ceiling is once again reached. We must cut our spending sooner… like right now….. not later. As painful as that sounds we’ll never dig out of this hole,

and our children and grandchildren will be severely hindered for generations if we do not right the error Dan Alexander Thoughts from of our ways. Behind the Pressline Forty two cents of every dollar now goes for the interest on our debt. Failure to reverse this level will, sooner than we think, place our nation in a dire situation. Shaking our heads in disgust as we watch press conference after press conference of the two sides throwing volleys back and forth, pointing fingers and making accusations isn’t going to solve this problem. They need to get it FIXED and FIXED NOW!!! We passed up the opportunity when the bi-partisan Bowles-Simpson Commission provided the financial plan to correct this issue in 2010. In 2011 both sides, in order to provide cover for their candidates in an election year, agreed to the sequestration which would force tax increases, reductions in jobless benefits and massive cuts upon the nation, neither of which would be palatable to either side. At least that was their contention at the time the deal was made. We were told by our elected officials, going over the cliff would be so devastating it would force them to address these issues, while buying them all cover for the election cycle. Now with the cliff in sight the chorus appears to be growing for, well the cliff doesn’t really look so bad. As sad as it sounds, as polarized as we are as a nation, doesn’t it sound totally absurd that the only way we can manage our affairs is for each side to put a gun to their opposition’s head and jointly jump off a cliff? Maybe I’m just getting too old, but I was taught to be responsible for my actions, to make good on my promises and to exceed expectations. It seems we can’t lower the bar enough for our government and sadly enough the nightmare dream we pass along to the future generations will become their real life reality.

Moving forward?

Let the kid do his thing

To the Times of Ti: Mr. Scott David Harris, in rebuttal to your article (letter to the editor) in the Times of Ti Nov. 24, I have a few questions for you. If Mitt Romney is emblematic of the far right then does this mean that Mr. Obama is emblematic of the far left? While Mr. Romney wanted to embolden this great country and put people to work while Mr. Obama wants to make people more dependent on the government. Whatever happened to the Keystone pipeline? Did not Mr. Obama back out of that deal which would have put thousands of people to work? Oh, I forgot he spent $435 million of taxpayers’ dollars on a bankrupt Solyndra. Where does your electricity come from? Fifty six percent of all electricity comes from coal. Mr. Obama is having the EPA go after the coal mines too, along with fracking for natural gas and how much will we now pay for our electric bill? When have you ever gotten a job from a poor man? Do you realize the rich pay most of the taxes in America now? What are you or we moving forward to? You speak of the Republican Party as creating this mess then let us discuss the Democrats mess; the first start of our fiscal downfall was the New Deal by FDR, a Democrat. The Democrats have always wanted to spend more than they take in and it hasn’t stopped yet ($16.3 trillion and counting). As for your statement about Blacks, Latino’s and women voters, maybe you could start listening, for they were talking demographics and how the Republicans need to change to reach more voters, not that they shouldn’t vote. If you are going to spin it at least spin it with the truth. Moving forward let us check out Social Security and Medicare shall we. Shortly we will have more people on these programs than working to pay for it. As for your Obama care what was it Miss Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it,” referring to the Health Care Bill. Isn’t that nice, 2,000 pages and don’t read it just vote for it. Do you happen to read the papers where employers are laying off employees or cutting them down to part time because they can’t afford Obama Care? How about the illegal aliens that Mr. Obama wants to give jobs, food stamps and other benefits to, taking away from Americans that need jobs with nothing to say about our hard earned tax dollars to pay for it? Where do you stand on that and is this your moving forward? Let us move forward with government employees paying their back taxes, after all I pay mine, and shouldn’t they pay their ’s? I guess we should settle for a president who blatantly lies to us about the attack in Libya calling it “acts of terror” instead of a terrorist attack and, then proceeded to go fund raising in Vegas, blamed it on a movie at the meeting at the UN. He still has not come forward yet to say when he knew or what he knew and who gave the orders. Where is your outrage over this? Just the man you want running America. This is what the real Americans want? According to you it is. Moving forward? No, thanks.

Harriers appreciative To the Times of Ti: The Ticonderoga High School cross country team would like to sincerely thank Fort Ticonderoga for their generosity in allowing us to host our races at historic Fort Ticonderoga. Your generosity and cooperation allowed cross country athletes, family and friends to witness the historic beauty of America’s Fort. This venue was met with great anticipation from opposing teams and tremendous respect from our own team. A special thanks to the fort’s leadership under CEO Beth Hill, the Head of Grounds Steve Teer and all the fort’s dedicated staff. You have provided a cross country experience that is second to none. It is only fitting that the spirit of competition that has made America great continues in the hallowed grounds of Fort Ticonderoga. Coach Jay Wells Ticonderoga cross country team

Global Warming Real The recent U.S. political campaign held many surprises including super storm “Sandy.” Ironically, even on the heels of recent storms, Irene and Sandy, many politicians continue to question what the best scientists in world are saying, global warming is real. Recently, the best environmental scientists in the world met in Durban, South Africa and they concluded that the world has given up on the U.S. assuming a role as a world leader in reducing global warming. Peter Raven a long trusted adviser to U.S. presidents and Congressmen stated forty years earlier that global warming was a “hoax.” Now forty years later he recently stated that, “Global warming is the biggest challenge that humans have ever faced.” There is virtually unanimous consensus among the world’s scientists who say that humans are By Scot Hurlburt the major reason that the worlds average temperature is rising. This same observation was made by a noted Swedish scientist in 1895 stating that “adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere will make it warmer.” Currently, 98 percent of climate scientists support that global warming is manmade. Several scientists have suggested that the solution to global warming may be held hostage by the fossil fuel industry. Further, at least one sci-

entist referenced how the U.S. railroad interests in congress held up the development of a unified highway system. Railroads were once extremely powerful and although the automobile reigned supreme in America, the roads were often substandard, in the end railroads did lose their supremacy and the highway system was built and railroads suffered mightily as a result. Now, with much to lose and nothing to be gained, the fossil fuel industry may be the driving political and financial force behind keeping global warming out of the spotlight and keeping the veracity of the science around global warming t in question. The impact of the railroads holding up a highway system may have allowed railroads a little more time to profit from their operations; however, the effects of not making global warming a political and financial focus may prove to be a grave mistake f or human beings in general. Just about every young person that I have spoken with understands global warming and takes it as fact unlike the parent aged adults around them. To some extent, this issue has been defined and delineated around political lines. As scientists now gather again at the United Nations, some scientists are saying that they fear it may be too late to change the climate forces that have been set in motion. I hope that in the long run that they are wrong. Perhaps it will take the young people that are waiting in the wings to make the necessary political changes to counteract global warming. The big decisions are now being made my people that obviously are not thinking about the generations to come. The profit motive is a powerful factor and can cause humans to make decisions that have serious and long reach-

ometimes, you just have to stand back and let the man do his thing. That was the lesson that I learned the other day, but the man happened to be a 10-year old boy. Here’s the deal. My son is into fencing. That’s right, we let our kids play with swords. Last weekend, we drove down to Sharon, Vt., a place we are very familiar with as we spend one weekend a year in South Royalton for a Father-Son Campout at Camp Joseph, for a fencing tournament. Once he was signed in, changed and warmed up, by Keith Lobdell he started the preliminary rounds, where he faced six other opponents, looking both to score points and get wins. In an effort to help him, I tried to offer some advice, having watched his practices and picked up pieces of the sport here and there (my parents did not let me play with swords when I was young after they saw what I could do to a playpen without one). The advice was either to be agressive or be conservative and wait for the other fencer to attack. No matter what the advice was, it never worked. Like, ever. He didn’t win a match, the closest he came was 5-3. The disappointment on his face was very obvious. He sat in the corner of the Sharon Academy gym after his last match, wondering what he had to do. He might have even felt a little defeated emotionally, seeings how he had been a lot defeated in the preliminaries. Then came the eliminations rounds, or D.E.’s, as they are called. He was ranked 13th in a field of 13, facing off against the fourth ranked fencer in the first round. Before his match, I had an Ah-ha moment and changed my tone. I said soemthing like, “Alright, I’m done talking, you go out and do what you do best. Don’t listen to me. This is your sport and you know how to play it. Remember, everyone loves to see an upset.” A pat on the backside sent him into the first in a best-ofthree match, where he lost, 5-4, however, he was smiling when he came back to me. “I figured it out,” he said. “Great, but don’t tell me. Your the fencer, use it,” was my reply. “This could be your last match of the day so make it count.” Two 5-3 matches later with a “could be your last match,” talk in between, and he was onto the quarterfinals with an upset win. That round started the same way, with me saying, “you know what you’re doing, so just go out and do it. One round is an upset, two rounds is a Cinderella story.” 5-1, 5-2. Onto the semis We changed nothing in the semifinals (after all, when you are in sports there are superstitions), but the first match was a 5-0 defeat. “He’s really good,” my son said as he came to his corner. Another 5-0 match and the day was over, but not without the 13th seed in the tournament finishing with a bronze medal. So the moral to the story is this - sometimes the kids know enough to do it on their own. It can be tough to relinquish that control and dependence that they may have once had on you, and in turn you on them. It very well could take an ah-ha moment like I had at a fencing match, but sometimes you just have to realize that in a situation where they are ready to take the lead themselves, that is just what they need to do. I still gave him all of my support, but also let him know that it was his world and his call. I think the results speak for themselves. Reach the writer at keith@denpubs.com

ing impacts. For some time, the world has been looking to the U.S. for leadership on this important issue and it appears that this leadership will not come from the U.S. Even if the U.S. were to see global warming as our biggest challenge and then began to make dramatic changes in fossil fuel usage, China would still be the biggest potential polluter on the planet. I recently read that China is putting several thousand new cars on the road every day and Beijing once known as the bicycle city is becoming clogged with cars. China’s industrial base is primarily fueled by coal and the pollution caused by these many plants is enormous. The Chinese, when challenged have stated that” The U.S. did not observe did not observe any environmental rules during its industrial ascendancy and it would be unfair to expect China to observe such rules.” While the Chinese position is not surprising given the political landscape of the country, the U.S. position on global warming is troubling. It seems to me that simple common sense would dictate that something very dramatic has changed in our environment. As I write, it is December and the temperature is in the fifties and by Wednesday in the sixties. These temperatures certainly are a departure from the frigid days of my childhood. Going forward, addressing climate issues must become our focus and future generations are depending on us doing the right thing. The silver lining in all of this is that many new careers and many new jobs will be found in this new direction as well. Remember, all kids count. Reach the writer at wildblue.net

County looks to increase bed tax additional point for 2 percent jump By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Randy Preston will see your 1 percent and raise you one more.

The Wilmington Supervisor successfully asked for an amendment increasing a county resolution seeking to increase the Essex County occupancy tax to 5 percent. The county occupancy tax, commonly

known as bed tax, is now 3 percent. “Both Clinton and Franklin County are pursuing a 5 percent tax,” Preston said. “Even though I know that there will be some businesses that will not like that, I think we should look at that.” Preston also said that, instead of putting the added revenue into the general fund, it should be put into a specific dedicated fund, which he said would be broken down to help fund the fish hatchery (25 percent), tourism product development fund (25 percent), winter shoulder (offseason) marketing program (46 percent) and tourism-related county travel. “Don’t get me wrong, that does not mean a total takeover of county travel,” he said. “This should not go into the general fund, in my opinion.” County attorney Daniel Manning said any change in the occupancy tax rate would have to be done by home rule and an amendment to the local law because the current law states that the occupancy tax rate cannot go above 3 percent. “We can do this, but it has to be done by home rule request,” Manning said. “The way that our law is written right now, we cannot exceed 3 percent.” Manning said that it was not out of the ordinary to see a 5 percent occupancy tax in a county, but 3 and 4 percent are more popular. “Most of the counties have occupancy tax,” Manning said. “Three and 4 percent are the most common, but 5 percent is pretty common. Other counties allow for 50 percent of the money to be used for tourism and 50 percent to go into the general fund or for oth-

er reasons.” Fifteen of the supervisors voted along with Preston to amend the resolution and then pass it onto the full board. “I am a firm believer that we need to put this money back into tourism,” Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley said. “We have not been able to get even a tiny percentage of the occupancy tax back that is supposed to be available for these smaller chambers. We need to have this money not just in Lake Placid, but out in Newcomb and these other towns that feed into Lake Placid.” “As we get more occupancy tax revenue and more tourism dollars coming into the area, we can get more money off of the backs of the property tax,” Preston said. County Manager Daniel Palmer cautioned that with more tourists would come more need for infrastructure work and more stress on the general fund of the budget. “Tourist also generate general fund costs,” Palmer said. “It is a general fund cost involved in all of that as well.” Two supervisors, Willsboro’s Ed Hatch and North Elba’s Roby Politi, voted against the measure. “It should go to the general fund,” Hatch said. “You are going to take away control of the board and I feel that with the budget issues that we are facing now, this would be better used in the general fund.” “Lake Placid funds 85 percent of all this money,” Politi said. “There will be no way that I ever support an increase in the bed tax for the money to be used in the general fund. Until I know clearly how the money is going to be used, I will not vote on this either.”

The project is expected to take six months to complete and cost $1.7 million. The cost will be borne by the Federal Highway Administration, the New York State Department of Transportation and Essex County.

by Frazier Bridge, the original crossing on the LaChute River. The Frazier Bridge, now a pedestrian walkway, was rebuilt and dedicated July 8, 2011. The Frazier Bridge was originally built in 1894 replacing an iron bridge that only lasted 10 years. It is a compression-style bridge and one of the very few double-arched stone bridges of this type in existence. The second part of the bridge restoration project in Ticonderoga will be the repair of the Montcalm Street bridge in 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Montcalm Street bridge needs a major overhaul,â&#x20AC;? Malaney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plans are being made for 2016, but the extent of the work isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known yet.â&#x20AC;?

Curtis Lumber to honor long-time employees Marshall Gero, Earl Rounds mark 40 years

By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Marshall Gero has enjoyed his routine for the past 40 years. So has Earl Rounds. The men will each celebrate 40 years working for Curtis Lumber during a luncheon Thursday, Dec. 13, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the company’s Schroon Lake store. The public is invited. “Every morning I put my key in and my truck automatically heads south,” said Gero, who lives in North Hudson. “I don’t even think about it; I just come to work.” Rounds, a Loon Lake resident, understands. “I think work is important,” he said. “It’s not just about an income, it’s the way I live.

I’ve been fortunate to have this job.” Gero, now age 65, started working in the Schroon Lake store when it was Drake’s Lumber in November 1972. He stayed when Curtis bought the business in 1989. Rounds, now age 64, began working at the Curtis Lumber Store in Warrensburg in July 1972 and moved to the company’s Schroon Lake store 15 years ago. Both enjoy their jobs. “I like the people — the customers and the people I work with,” Gero said. “People have been very nice over the years.” “You see a lot of people every day and almost everyone of them is very nice,” Rounds agreed. “The people are real decent.” The men also appreciate the support of Curtis Lumber management. Throughout their careers there have been no lay offs and no benefit cuts. “The company has been great,” Gero said. “When Curtis bought the store from Drake’s they took me in and treated me like I had al-

ways been a Curtis employee. I appreciate that.” Gero and Rounds have done virtually every job in the store during their careers. Gero is now a sales associate and Rounds is yard foreman. “I’ve worked in the (lumber) yard, worked in the store, went back to the yard, I made deliveries driving truck, I was an assistant manager in Warrensburg,” Rounds said. “I’ve done it all.” Neither man has plans to stop working at the Schroon Lake store, but they both admit retirement is looming. “I’m just getting worn out,” said Rounds, who has three children and three grandchildren. “The time is coming,” said Gero, who has two daughters and three grandchildren. Quiet men, neither understands the fuss over their four decades of service. “I could do without it,” Rounds said of the Dec. 13 party. “I’m not much for big deals, but

Earl Rounds, left, and Marshall Gero will be honored Thursday, Dec. 13, at the Curtis Lumber store in Schroon Lake. The men have each been with the company 40 years. it’s nice everyone cares.” “It makes me feel like I’m still wanted, needed,” Gero said of the upcoming celebration. “I think it’s nice they care enough to honor us. And, it’s always good to be fed.”

Musical acts added to Schroon celebration; Old Tyme Christmas Dec. 8 fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Schroon Lake will host its Old Tyme Christmas celebration Saturday, Dec. 8, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The evening will be sponsored by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce. The town Christmas tree will be lit at 5:30 p.m., kicking off the celebration, in the town park. A living nativity scene will march from the park to Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Main Street, followed by holiday carolers.

Santa will arrive at the Strand Theater to greet children at 6 p.m. Children will receive a gift from Santa as well as a book from the Friends of the Schroon Lake Library. There will also be opportunities for children to have photos taken with Santa. Also that evening, a memory tree honoring deceased members of the community will be lit at the Schroon Lake Senior Citizens Center. Throughout the evening the senior center will be open serving cookies, hot chocolate and coffee. There will also be face painting and crafts for children at the center. There will be musical performances by students and local performers at various venues throughout the evening celebra-

Panthers looking good in new uniforms Coach appreciates community support By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com

The Crown Point Central School girls soccer team had new uniforms this season thanks to their hard work and community support. and it would not have been possible without their kindness, generosity and charity.” Support for the Panthers didn’t end there. “Ron (Ryan) brought a bag of ice and a bag of apples to every single game we played,” Andersen said. “We also had a lot of parents on the team who volunteered to drive the girls around for our fundraiser, which was very much appreciated. Par-

ents also drove the girls to Gull Bay in Putnam for a beach day. Sarah Macey and Patty Wolf hosted a spaghetti night for the girls. Gary and Penny Comes returned a ton of bottles for us and Penny was always willing to help with anything we needed and she even made brownies for the team for our victories. “I couldn’t work with a better group of people and am proud to teach in such a caring and supportive town,” Andersen said.

Taylor Booth was selected as the 2013 Distinguished Young Woman of Crown Point. She also won the talent and self expression categories.

CROWN POINT — Even when the Crown Point Central School girls soccer team didn’t play its best this fall, it looked great. That’s because the Panthers were wearing new uniforms — thanks to a local business and some hard work. Crown Point Coach Jayna Andersen approached school administrators before the season seeking new uniforms for the club. “The uniforms we had were very old, no longer white and our warm-ups were torn to shreds,” Andersen said. “The school informed us that there was no extra money in the budget for new uniforms, a result of our economy and lack of funding, unfortunately, in education.” The team decided to raise the needed money — about $2,000 — itself. “The girls and I decided to do a bottle drive first,” Andersen said. “I was hesitant, the Adidas uniforms the girls picked out were quite pricey. We all agreed that we would make up the additional cost ourselves.” That’s when Ron and Diane Ryan, owners of Frenchy’s Ice Cream Stand, stepped up. The parents of a Panther player, they decided to match whatever the team raised up to $1,000. “I was so overjoyed and overwhelmed with a new found confidence that we would be able to get the uniforms that these girls so desperately wanted and deserved,” Andersen said. “I could not believe the generosity of these two.” The bottle drive netted $659.65 — $1,319.30 with the match from the Ryans. Players collected another $530 during a coin drop. “I cannot thank the town enough for supporting these girls,” Andersen said. “Diane and Ronnie Ryan are true heros

For more details, call 962-2287, go to www.champlainareatrails.com or email champlaintrails@gmail.com. “The trails are for year-round use,” said Chris Maron, executive director of CATS, “and we want people to know they are excellent for skiing and snowshoeing.” In a brief program before the hike, CATS will announce the winners of its recent travel-writing contest. “We’re pleased to present the $500 first place prize selected by the contest judge, local author Diane Chase, and the $250 People’s Choice Prize who received the most online votes,” said Gretel Schueller, the contest coordinator. “The contest spawned a great variety of strong stories which can be viewed at the Champlain Area Trails website.” “We will also announce the winner of the raffle of Bill Amadon’s painting of the view from the Bobcat Trail,” said Maron. “After that, the hike will begin; this will be a nice introduction to the newest trail in the community.” The Hidden Quarry Trail features rock outcrops, a forest, and the quarry, where rocks were mined to create the base layer of Route 22. Now, it is a shallow pond below cliffs where they took out the rocks. “This is one of the area’s easiest and shortest trails,” said Maron, “so everyone is welcome to join us for the half-hour hike. We’ll go on level land in forest, fields, and by the quarry.” “We thank Jim Carlisle, who owns the property, for contacting us and arranging to have the trail,” said Katharine Preston, the CATS board chair. “Because most land in the Champlain Valley is privately owned, CATS commonly works with landowners to create and maintain trails. This helps accomplish our mission of making trails that link communities, connect people with nature, and promote economic vitality.”

ELIZABETHTOWN — The prestigious Senator Paul Simon NYS Friend of Foreign Language Award was given this year to Dan and Gayle Alexander along with Brian Gay of Denton Publications for their work with Kidsville News of Northern New York. The Senator Paul Simon NYS Friend of Foreign Language Award is given to a person or organization that is not a teacher of a foreign language, but has nonetheless championed the cause of furthering the teaching the foreign languages. This award, formerly known as the NSYALFT Friend of Foreign Language Award, was dedicated to one of the group’s greatest supporters, the late Senator Paul Simon, in 2004. Kidsville News of Northern New York is a monthly children’s newspaper delivered to the children in grades K-5 throughout the North Country and published by Denton Publications of Elizabethtown. Since April of 2007 the children of the region have enjoyed this educational resource that teaches the love of reading with the help of Truman, an 8-year-old green dragon. Dan Alexander, owner and publisher of Denton Publications, the parent company of Kidsville News of Northern New York, is very involved with various business organizations in the region. He became aware of the concerns of local leaders that when our “neighbors to the north” visit the region very few store clerks or service personnel knew how to speak to them in their native French. In cooperation with Clinton Community College, David Graham and Ken Hughes, Kidsville News Publisher Gayle Alexander put together a plan to introduce the French language to the children of the region. Brian Gay provided the colorful graphics to keep the lesson light, entertaining and fun for the students. The study of a language other than English fosters an appreciation and understanding of other cultures, promotes a better understanding of one’s own language and culture, supports learning and improves performance in other content areas, and cultivates the qualities of global citizens who are well-educated and prepared to compete professionally in an increasingly interconnected world. Research has shown that early language instruction not only facilitates the language learning process, but results in more native-like pronunciation and fluency in the second language. In addition, early language instruction has been shown to strengthen students’ performance in their first language as well as in other content areas. NYSAFLT is a professional organization dedicated to providing the foreign language teachers of New York State with professional development opportunities and promoting the study of foreign languages and cultures. For more information about NYSAFLT, visit http://www.nysaflt.org. LOTE (Languages Other Than English) is a core subject area in New York State. All students are required to earn one high school credit in a modern or classical foreign language or American Sign Language. NYSAFLT supports an early start to language learning and encourages continued language study beyond the minimum requirement in order to prepare our students to meet the challenges of today’s global community.

20 - Times of Ti • Outdoor

December 8, 2012 Does scattered as the shot rang out, and the buck ran off as well. However, it piled up less than 30 yards from my watch. There was no euphoria, and there was no one around to exchange high fives with. It was a simple act that served to reassure me I still retain the skills to be a hunter. Despite the fact that my accomplishment was tinged with the bittersweet knowledge I had taken a life, I was proud of my hunting efforts. I had put in the time and I was satisfied with a handsome 10 pointer, which sported a large, non-typical rack. However, I was more excited at the prospect of enjoying fresh venison loin for Thanksgiving.

Season-ending snow

Thoughts on the Forest Preserve

he first significant snow of the season has finally arrived, and while accumulations remain far too meager to jumpstart the backcountry ski season; the woods are again white. The Northern Zone Regular Big Game Hunting season officially ended on Dec. 2, however, hunters can still get out for the Late Muzzleloading Season Dec. 3-9 in several Northern Zone Wildlife Management Units, including 5A, 5G, 5J, 6A, 6C, 6H and 6G. There will also be continued hunting opportunities for bobcat, coyote, fox, coyote and raccoon. Ruffed grouse populations also appear to be in great shape this season, and it’s been a rare day when I’ve failed to flush at least a few grouse while hunting for whitetail. Of course, grouse always seem to be around when I’m carrying a deer rifle, and conversely, deer typically appear while I’m lugging a shotgun. Fortunately, outdoor enthusiasts will soon be confronted with a variety of additional winter recreational options as ice overtakes the local lakes and the snowpack continues to grow. Winter’s hard cap has already locked in many of the smaller ponds, and the larger lakes won’t be far behind.

Finally, off the snide

Following a prolonged drought in my annual deer hunting efforts, I finally managed to harvest a nice buck during the regular (rifle) season. While I’ve had success during the archery and muzzleloader seasons in recent years, bucks have proven to be rather elusive during recent rifle seasons. As an old fishing guest always proclaims after landing his first trout of the season, “I’m officially off the snide.” Finally, I have a right to make the same claim for the hunting season. Unfortunately, there is no great hunting tale to tell. Before heading off to the woods, I showered with scent-free soap and I made sure my hunting clothes were as scentless as possible. I also dragged pads covered with Tink’s No. 69 all the way to my stand, and I hung them a short distance away. The previous afternoon, I had watched numerous does in the same area and I knew that bucks would be likely nosing

Schroon Continued from page 1 Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce basket raffle fund raiser. “Collect your own ‘wish’ and directly purchase an item for a child,” Mehm said. “The Wish Tree is set up at Grand Union on Main Street. The children have asked for specific items that they are hoping to receive this year — which are listed, as well as the child’s gender, age, and size if applicable. After taking a ‘wish’ each unwrapped gift should be dropped back off as soon as possible, but no later than Saturday, Dec. 15.” The charity is also accepting donations of wrapping paper, tape, ribbons and other decorating items. Mehm also hopes people will support the chamber basket raffle held during the community’s Old Tyme Christmas celebration Saturday, Dec. 8. “Please come out and support the chamber of commerce basket raffle on Saturday Dec. 8, between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m,” she said. “The chamber makes a huge impact on the ability of Children’s Express to fulfill all the Christmas wishes,” said Tammy Leinhart, coordinator of Christmas Express. “As the Dec. 15 deadline approaches, Patti Mehm goes and collects all the ‘wishes’ still left on the tree. Then she and her family purchase all the items, using the money allocated from the shared proceeds of the basket raffle, as well as money she has collected from others. Every wish is fulfilled.” There are also be “Holiday Cans” for cash donations located at area businesses. Checks can also be mailed to Christmas Express, 276 Alder Meadow Road, Schroon Lake 12870. For more information or to arrange a pick up, contact Leinhart at 5329643.

around. One by one, the does began to assemble, and eventually a buck made an entrance. Although I couldn’t see it, the does certainly did, and they continued to watch as it edged along in the cover of the thick woods. With its nose to the ground, the buck followed square on my tracks. Soon, it moved out from the treeline and into the open, directly on my footprints. I kept the crosshairs of my scope on its chest and steadied my aim. When it stopped and lifted its head, I exhaled and squeezed the trigger.

As part of an ongoing effort to better understand both the concept and the conception of the Adirondack Forest Preserve, I have been researching through old journals, periodicals and outdoor magazines from the era of the 1880s through the turn of the century. Many quotes ring as true in current times, as they did when first set to type in the late 1880s. It appears the battle between preservationist and land developers is as indelibly linked to the Adirondack landscape as the forces of nature. Combined, these manmade and natural forces have served to frame the land as it stands today. In March 1884, Leon Thomson, a lumberman declared, “Those that seek to create an Adirondack Park are Office seekers, aesthetics and dudes. " However, in New York at that time, political forces were working to put an end to the lumberman’s exploitation of forest resources. Arguments included social, economic and health factors. From an 1882 report to the NYS Legislature: “There were other scientific reasons for the creation of a park. The fetid quarters of the urban poor threatened not only physical health, but the mental health of the young as well. For their sake, it was important to retain the forests in order to replace the vicious debasing pleasures of the cities.” Other climatological reasons advanced the call for the preservation of forests included “the requirements of the higher civilization of the Caucasian race … that shade must be provided to avoid the action of the mid-day sun on the brain and the nervous system.” Samuel Hammond, an Albany lawyer who enjoyed camping in the Adirondacks as early as 1840, was one of the first to call for the creation of a park. He claimed the state should “mark out a circle of a hundred miles in diameter, and throw around it the protecting aegis of the constitution" to protect the land as "a forest forever." Harry Radford, editor of Field and Stream magazine, considered the savior of beaver and black bear in the Adirondacks declared in 1904, “The Forest Preserve Board has recently purchased several large tracts of forest lands within the boundaries of the proposed Adirondack State Park. Adirondackers should always rejoice at every acre of land thus acquired by the state as it lessens the chances of the land barons to ruin the beautiful wilderness and hastens the day when the Adirondack Park will become a glorious reality.” Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman living in Ray Brook.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about December 26, 2012 the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC) will submit a request to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of HOME funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) of 1990, in accordance with section 288 (42 U.S.C. 12838), to undertake a project known as Moses Circle Senior Apartments, for purposes of new construction of a 3-story building to create 31 residential units for persons over 55, on a 1.54 acre site at 1007 (old address 1019) Wicker Street, Town of Ticonderoga, Essex County. This is an amended Combined Notice. The original Combined Notice was published on February 25, 2012. The original proposal was for the conversion and substantial rehabilitation of a 3-story vacant hospital building located on the site. Subsequent to interior work commencing, portions of the roof and floor decks collapsed. Further structural review concluded the most feasible action is demolition of the building and construction of a new facility in its place, keeping with the general appearance of the original building. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT HTFC has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human

environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the N a t i o n a l Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at: Lord Howe Estates 54 Adirondack Drive Ticonderoga, NY 12883 (518) 585-6696 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 12 P.M. & 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Heather S p i t z b e r g , Environmental Analysis Unit, NYS Housing Trust Fund Corporation, 38-40 State Street, Albany, New York, 12207. All comments received by December 24, 2012 will be considered by HTFC prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Those wishing to comment should specify which part of this Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS HTFC certifies to HUD that Ms. Heather Spitzberg, Esq. in her capacity as Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows HTFC to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will consider objections to its release of funds and HTFC s certification received by January 10, 2013 or for a period of fifteen days following its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of HTFC; (b) HTFC has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the project have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to: Director of Community Planning and Development U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 26 Federal Plaza New York, New York 10278-0068 Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
