Let MEAT AT THE MARKET them vote!

North Hudson board opts to let voters decide on Frontier Town

Town prepares for 250th events, StreetFest CROWN POINT

pete@denpubs.com

NORTH HUDSON Ñ Ghosts haunt this town from each cardinal point. Route 9, to the north, is flanked with the corpses of roadside motels decaying in overgrown lots. Some are still outfitted with furnished rooms, with retrograde televisions ready to be flicked on and stacks of pillows waiting to be fluffed. From the southwest, wooden structures quietly moulder into the pines before disappearing and giving way to the tony homes circling Schroon Lake and the warm glow of commerce. And from Exit 29 on the Northway, the A-Frame that once anchored Frontier Town, a formerly popular wild west theme park, is slowly being reclaimed by nature. Broken glass rings the entrance, boards rattle in the wind. Vines reach upward, a cathedral of gloom. There is no indication that the structure has been given more than errant glance this year, far after the snow melted and cast the blight into sharp, even biting, relief. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Public hearing a success, more on the way in Moriah By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

MORIAH Ñ Calling it a learning experience for himself and the board, Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava is looking ahead to the next round of public hearings. Ò We have been getting a lot of positive comments about the hearing,Ó Scozzafava said. The town board invited residents to share their comments and concerns at an initial public hearing night June 19 at the Moriah firehouse. Scozzafava said the format was set up because it gave residents more of a chance to speak. Ò You have time constraints during a town board

meeting and you have to get the townÕ s business accomplished,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò This meeting was all about the constituents and what they wanted to say.Ó While some topics of discussion were expected by Scozzafava, others were not. Ò When you are out and about you feel like you can take the pulse of the community on different issues, and I can tell you I was flat wrong on some of them,” Scozzafava said. Ò It was made very clear that the people want more police instead of less, and this has made me rethink my position in regard to the need for more deputies at the SheriffÕ s department and State Police presence in the town.

majority of the community wants to see more of a police presence.Ó Scozzafava said many of the needs come down to a problem facing many North Country communities on both sides of Lake Champlain. Ò The drug issue was brought up at the meeting and that is a real problem right now not only in Moriah but in most communities,Ó he said. Ò In my opinion, this is the number one problem that we all are facing and how do you deal with it.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Ti Cornerstone Alliance Church gets face lift and summer help By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ The Cornerstone Alliance church best known by locals as the Ò blue churchÓ in the old mill yard overlooking the park received a new coat of paint by parishioners June 27, 28 and 29. Ò The previous paint was starting to fade and was sunbleached,Ó said Rev. Charlie Bolstridge. Ò In lieu of hiring painters we decided to make this a church community project.Ó Twenty volunteers participated in painting with supplies provided by an anonymous donor. When finished the building appears a bit brighter than the faded blue of the past. The blue paint originally arrived as a mistake when the church was first erected in the late 80Õ s. Ò People have been asking why we didnÕ t change the color,Ó said Bolstridge. Ò I said, Ô around here even if we did change the color we would still be known as the blue church on the hillÕ by everyone. So, we stuck with what we know.Ó Along with giving the church a fresh look Cornerstone also welcomed Eddy Rapino a student at the Word Of Life Bible Institute in Hungary. Ò I put in for two interns this year for some summer help, I got one,Ó said Bolstridge. Ò RapinoÕ s home church in Quebec was not set up to take interns through the (Word Of Life) program and we were. In order for students to graduate from the bible institute they must do a summer ministry, working at least 40 hours a week, in exchange for room and board.Ó Rapino has been assisting with many facets of the church including the youth group, worship portions of the services and even the latest painting fellowship. Ò Painting the church was really hardwork and it was hot,Ó said Rapino. Ó We laughed, we had a good time and it was fun doing this for the Lord, it was joyful.Ó As a native of Quebec, Ticonderoga was a sensible choice in location for Rapino who stated that he hopes to learn some lessons

Ò It is interesting to see how a local community church works,Ó said Rapino. Ó I really like it here, people are very friendly and welcoming. Ticonderoga is a really cool place.Ó Rapino plans to return to Canada in the fall where he will finish some high school credits and then attend a university. Ò I am hoping to become a missionary somewhere in Europe,Ó said Rapino. Ò Right now it is up to God to narrow down where I am going to go.Ó

Times of Ti Editorial

The best defense when seconds count

recent column placed in USA Today draws needed attention to what the national media loves to sweep under the rug: statistics prove that guns can and do save lives. The column was a paid advertorial called Ò The First-Responders ReportÓ which features real-life situations in which first responders — the intended victim Ñ were able to shoot down the people who attacked them or chase them off by show of arms. The column is the first in a planned series by GunLaws.com, the website of Bloomfield Press, the countryÕ s largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books, based in Scottsdale, Ariz. The firm’s publisher, Alan Korwin, believes the liberal national media turns a blind eye to covering situations in which an intended victim defends himself or his family with a firearm. News reports, Korwin contends, make the mistake of using the term “first responders” for law enforcement personnel when they are often the ones who show up second. The stories in KorwinÕ s column clearly make this case: A mom with a rifle stops a home invasion in Detroit; a bystander thwarts a kidnapping attempt and pins the assailants on the ground at gun point; a robber picks the wrong store, brings a knife to a gun fight; a woman fends off a man wielding a gardening tool with her sidearm. These stories are rarely in the public eye, but are known to be common and the statistics affirm that. A survey of national self defense statistics conducted by Florida State University criminologists found the rate of defensive gun uses annually nationwide is about 2.5 million per year Ñ one defensive gun use every 13 seconds. Nearly 16 percent of the gun defenders interviewed in the survey said that someone Ò almost certainlyÓ would have died had the gun not been used for protection. Another 83 percent of those involved in successful gun defenses said the attacker either threatened or used force first, disproving the argument that having a gun available for defense wouldnÕ t make a difference. In 92 percent of these incidents, the criminal attacker was not wounded or killed Ñ thus the incident would not be considered Ò newsworthyÓ by newspaper or television editors. In 73 percent of these gun-defense cases, the attacker

July 19, 2014

was a stranger to the intended victim Ñ defenses against a family member or domestic partner were rare, well under 10 percent. This disproves the thinking that a gun kept for self defense will most likely be used against the owner or a family member. Finally, in nearly 80 percent of these gun defenses, the defender used a concealable handgun. A quarter of the gun defenses occurred in places away from the defenderÕ s home. A recent study conducted as part of the 23 Executive Actions signed by President Obama last year in an effort to reduce gun violence seems to make the same point. Interestingly, the study was commissioned to help tighten gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. tragedy, but many of the findings seemed to strengthen the argument in favor of an armed citizenry. Ò Defensive uses of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence although the exact number remains disputed,Ó the study concluded. Ò Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.” More important, it was discovered that when guns are used in self-defense, the victims consistently have lower injury rates than those who are unarmed, even compared with those who used other forms of self-defense. So what does all this mean? We think the numbers speak for themselves Ñ the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and when seconds count, the police are often minutes away, especially in the rural area in which we live. Laws like Gov. CuomoÕ s Safe Act have proven to do little to prevent gun-related acts from criminals. Instead, these laws hinder the right of law abiding citizens to protect themselves from those breaking the law. While politicians like Obama and Cuomo stump for more feel good legislation to appease their constituency, the statistics are clear that armed citizens stop more crime than laws regulating firearms or even law enforcement personnel. We applaud Alan KorwinÕ s effort to draw attention to that fact. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

Trails Day a success To the Times of Ti: During the Champlain Area Trails (CATS) celebration of National Trails Day, forty-two people hiked at Cheney Mountain in Moriah, eighteen on the new Ancient Oak Trail in Willsboro, and 170 people enjoyed hearing Emily Boedecker, executive director of VermontÕ s Local Motion talk about how her love of the outdoors brought her from England to Vermont via the Alps and Sierra Nevada Mountains to promote biking and hiking throughout the Champlain Valley. Three of the lessons sheÕ s learned along the way are to know your community, always have a positive attitude, and work with businesses to encourage appreciation of the outdoors. In our Champlain Valley communities, economic vitality is inextricably linked with trails and outdoor recreation. Hikers increasingly want to hike from town to town like they do in England where it is a major boost for the economy. When hikers get to towns they look for places to eat, drink, shop, and sleep. Meanwhile, the business owners want people to visit their establishments so more hikers leads to more businesses which attracts more hikers, and the cycle continues. Thinking positively, many of those hikers are cross-country skiers and snowshoers who will return in winter to boost the areaÕ s four-season economy. They will help spread the word that this is a great place to visit and live. CATS had a lot of help in making National Trails Day a success. Thank you to Chez Lin & RayÕ s Restaurant , The Galley

TICONDEROGA Ñ Jay Hebert, a former Ticonderoga High School track star and honor student, has been given the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship by LaChute Road Runners Club. The $1,000 award goes to a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track & field who attends college full-time.

Hebert, a 2014 Ti High graduate, will attend Harvard University in the fall. He plans to run track for the Crimson. Ò This is a big honor,Ó Hebert said. Ò It means a lot to be chosen by the LaChute Road Runners. Ò The club has been very supportive in my career.Ó Hebert, valedictorian of this yearÕ s Ti High class, is the most decorated athlete in school and Section VII history.

Jay Hebert, center, a former Ticonderoga High School track star and honor student, has been given the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship by LaChute Road Runners Club. Presenting the award are Tim Malaney, left, club president, and Matt Karkoski, club scholarship chairman, as club members look on. Ò WeÕ re pleased we can honor Duane with a scholarship and, at the same time, help someone meet their college goals,Ó he added. Crammond, the valedictorian of the Ti High Class of 1999, was a cross country and track champion in high school. He went on to become an honor student at RPI, where he majored in engineering and was captain of the collegeÕ s cross country team. He was also the leading distance runner on RPIÕ s indoor and outdoor track teams. After graduation from college, Crammond dominated local races. In 2003 he won the Montcalm Mile in Ticonderoga and the Race the Train event in North Creek. He was third in the Whiteface Uphill Run in Wilmington, fourth in the Prospect Mountain Road Race in Lake George and fifth in the Lake George to Bolton Adirondack Distance Run. He capped that season by winning the Adirondack Marathon in Schroon Lake. The LaChute Road Runners has sponsored running events for decades in Ticonderoga while raising money to support youth running. The LaChute Road Runners has financed trips for the Ticonderoga High School cross country and track teams, purchased equipment for the scholastic harriers, provided monetary assistance to teens attending camps and awards the annual Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship.

Fort Ticonderoga presents ‘Defiance & Independence’ battle re-enactment TICONDEROGA Ñ Join Fort Ticonderoga for a two-day battle re-enactment highlighting the climatic summer of 1777 as the Fort’s American garrison was outflanked by a British invasion force descending from Canada. The event takes place Saturday and Sunday, July 19 and 20, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to this reenactment event is included in a Fort TiconderogaÕ s general admission ticket. To learn more about the event visit http://fortticonderoga.org/learn/reenactors/defiance-independence or call 585-2821. Highlighted programming featured throughout the weekend brings to life the surprising American retreat and British capture of Fort Ticonderoga in early July 1777. Experience the fog of war and smoky haze of battle as the American and British armies maneuver across Fort TiconderogaÕ s historic landscape at 1 p.m. each day. This two-day battle re-enactment will dramatically show how General Arthur St. ClairÕ s decision to evacuate Ticonderoga set the stage for British General John BurgoyneÕ s advance towards Albany. Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. a gun crew from the Royal Artillery will haul their cannon to the summit of Mount Defiance, aiming at the Fort located below. Guests can witness the incredible feat and discover the details of this decisive stroke and witness a cannon demonstration in the evening light of the beautiful summit. Advanced tickets are required for this event and must be purchased at Fort Ticonderoga. Ò Guests will experience the excitement as mounted command staff gallop into the Fort announcing its imminent capture,Ó said Beth Hill, Fort TiconderogaÕ s President and CEO. Ò They will be immersed in the moment when American Continental command staff assess their dire situation and debate whether or not to abandon AmericaÕ s critical stronghold on Lake Champlain. Meanwhile in the British camp, visitors can explore General BurgoyneÕ s battle-hardened army of British, German, and Loyalist troops and discover the sights and sounds of an army on campaign as soldiers cook their rations, clean their muskets, and enjoy the humble comforts of a bed of straw and canvas tent.Ó Ò This living history event and battle recreation will re-enact a careful chess game between the British Army and an entrenched Continental Army at Ticonderoga,Ó said Stuart Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga Director of Interpretation. Ò Reprieved from a siege in 1776 by the onset of winter, Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence faced General John BurgoyneÕ s northern army of British, Loyalist, and German soldiers in July 1777. General St. ClairÕ s rearguard of Massachusetts and New Hampshire regulars and militia put up a vigorous defense, skirmishing in the hills and valleys around Ticonderoga. Artillery batteries built into the old French Lines seemed to keep the British army at by. Concealed by forest cover on the back slope of Mount Defiance, British cannon were dragged to the summit. By July 6, 1777, British cannon high up on Mount Defiance, aimed at the pontoon bridge between the two Forts of Ticonderoga and Independence, forced the withdrawal of General St. ClairÕ s rearguard into the Hampshire Grants (Vermont).Ó This event is funded in part by generous support from the History Channel.

North Hudson Continued from page 1

The story so far

George Moore, a Keesevillebased businessman, owns the A-Frame, a building that is in such bad shape, the county has reassessed it as a vacant lot worth $275,000. According to documents provided by his office, Moore has paid over $100,000 in taxes since acquiring the property in 2004 while the repair bill has clocked in at $18,206. Moore bid on much of the surrounding land at a county tax sale on April 30 designed to unload some 150 properties that would ideally be placed back on the tax rolls. Essex County lawmakers rejected his bid on the grounds that it did not meet the minimum reserve owed on the property. After county lawmakers approved the deal, North Hudson then voted unanimously to purchase the parcels for $60,000 and give one-third of the sale proceeds to the county if they sold it within the next five years. In the meantime, said North Hudson Supervisor Ron Moore, the town would work with the countyÕ s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) to develop the property and attract commercial development. George Moore bumped his offer up to $65,000, claimed neither he or his attorney was aware of a minimum reserve and filed an Article 78 lawsuit against the town and county. While the case is scheduled to be heard on August 8, itÕ s widely expected to be delayed until September, according to county and town officials. Other players have emerged with varying motives in tangled alignments and the case has generated an air of palace intrigue. Some local residents are vocal in seeking an economic resurgence. Others are less straight-forward, opting to side with the businessman who remains opaque in his plans for the property. Some prefer to say nothing and instead wait in the wings for a solution, while others speak freely but request anonymity. At a meeting on Thursday, July 10, North HudsonÕ s town board officially rejected

MooreÕ s latest counter-offer regarding easements and went into an executive session. They emerged 40 minutes later with a possible solution.

To the polls

Moore said that both the board and county attorney had reviewed the call by a group of residents led by Sindy Brazee, an outspoken North Hudson resident who is currently engaged in a number of lawsuits with both municipal authorities and private citizens, for a permissive referendum. In a measured and methodological explanation, the supervisor said a permissive referendum is invalid, namely due to the expired statute of limitations. Ò The crux is if itÕ s even subject to permissive referendum at all,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ ve purchased land before and it wasnÕ t.Ó Moore said the law regarding permissive referendums was vague. Ò It comes down to two things,Ó he said. Ò Ô How to

pay? WhatÕ s the intended use of property?Õ Ó Ò WeÕ re going to pay with fund balance, that is permissible,Ó he said. Ò The use of it is what I find vague. We’ve said time and time again weÕ d work with the IDA to bring business into town. We also said we would develop some for recreational use.Ó Moore said he scoured town law trying to find an answer. One option, he said, would be to circulate a new referendum. The other is Town Law 94, a referendum on acts of the town board that does not require the circulation of petitions. The supervisor said that with 43 signatures, BrazeeÕ s petition should go to referendum. Board member Laureen DeZalia agreed and the board voted unanimously to include the measure on a ballot. In doing so, the public would then decide if the town should purchase the property using funds from general balance.

Moore said he planned on working with the Essex County Board of Elections to ensure the measure appears on the general election ballot on November 4. The North Hudson leader said he didnÕ t see the development as being favorable to one side or the other, but rather an indication that residents wanted a say in their own future.

Public comments

Tiffany Nolan said she was worried about costs. Ò You guys said last month it would take 20-some-odd years to get some profits on it,” she told the town board. Citing an unspecified study, she said it would cost at least $300,000 to revamp the property. Ò It will take long after IÕ m gone to get returns. Has anyone ever thought about that?

ItÕ s going take 50-plus years to get an equal return.Ó Ò I think about it every day,Ó said Moore. Ò It depends on if we get a business. If this snowmobile thing goes through, the gas station will keep things going for us. Does that factor in at all?Ó Ò WeÕ re gonna need to draw people in, need a restaurant,Ó said Nolan. Moore likened the situation to a chicken-or-egg scenario. Ò WeÕ ve tried to attract business for years and now we have an opportunity,Ó he said. Ò If enough people come, it might trigger something.Ó Ò The risk is coming back on me, my generation,Ó said Nolan. Ò ItÕ s coming back on us with taxes,Ó shot back town clerk Sarah Vinskus. Ò YouÕ re losing money every day this is closed, honey.Ó Vinskus cited past efforts at attracting business that have failed. Ò You gotta think ahead and try ahead.Ó Board member Marshall Gero said thereÕ s no question it would cost the town money to rehabilitate the property. Ò ItÕ s just something that just needs to be done,Ó he said. “But I think your figure is high.Ó Ò I respect your opinion, but I disagree with it,Ó added Moore. Ò Hopefully we can agree to disagree.Ó Moore said the board was exploring the possible costs of demolition and asbestos removal if they were to procure the former restaurant on Frontier Town Road, which is part of the parcel. Resident Will Plumstead, citing buried oil tanks, asked about possible demolition and clean-up costs.

Ò The county still owns it,Ó said Moore. Ò Then make them pay for it,Ó said Plumstead. Dan Snyder cited studies of traffic on the Northway. Ò WeÕ re right on that highway,Ó he said. Ò ThereÕ s no shortage of people to bring in here. I think that if that was presented to a number of businesses, itÕ s a very attractive place. Has anything been done to get those numbers and try to recruit through that?Ó Moore cited ongoing work with the IDA. Ò The thing is, unfortunately, the people who own them, they want such an exorbitant amount, theyÕ re letting them fall apart, theyÕ re not going to attract business,Ó he said. Ò At a later time, weÕ ll have to talk to code enforcement. Maybe theyÕ re restorable.Ó

Crown Point student to participate in leadership summit CROWN POINT Ñ Erick DuShane, a student at Crown Point Central School, will travel to Harvard University to participate in a People to People Leadership Summit. DuShane, along with fellow students from around the country, will take part in leadership meetings/workshops, teambuilding workshops, community service projects, an opportunity to explore Boston, discussion on college life, and much more. During the seven-day program in Boston, DuShane will have the opportunity to learn about effective leadership and how to develop her own leadership abilities, as well as how to apply those skills upon returning home. Hands-on activities such as community service projects, relevant professional speakers, smallgroup workshops, and visits to significant local venues can help DuShane form a new perspective on the importance of good leadership. Ò I must start by thanking my teacher, men-

tor, and friend, Mr. Thelen.,Ó DuShane said. Ò Without his nomination and support I would not be taking part in this life-changing summit. In my eyes, it has always been important being a leader in school, especially through the CFES Leadership Team. Attending this summit will not only make me a better leader in school, but also a better leader outside of school. I am most excited about challenging myself through the hands-on community service projects and communication/mediation workshops, along with preparing for college, making new, lifelong friends, and exploring Boston and all of its history. I hope by attending this summit I will be able to take home valuable knowledge and make my school and community an even better place for all who inhabit it.Ó People to People Leadership Summits are held in prestigious venues around the country and provide students a chance to explore the

various aspects of leadership in specific contexts. Participants also gain insights to guide their educational and professional careers, and benefit from a strong focus on college admissions. Through workshops, presentations, excursions, and discussions, Leadership Ambassadors attain a clear advantage as they pursue their selected fields of interest. Students will have the opportunity to meet with admissions officers and gain valuable advice for navigating the college application process. The programs offer students a unique blend of specialized educational, leadership, and cultural exposure as well as itineraries filled with the highlights of the hosting communities. Students enjoy a unique chance to enhance their self-confidence, as well as experiencegrowth in personal responsibility, global leadership, and cultural diversity.

Ò I have had issues in my life with a family member and I know what addiction is all about,” he said. “When you go out and find 70-some needles on one highway, you canÕ t bury your head in the sand you got a problem.Ó Wearing his county hat, Scozzafava also said he wonders if he made the wrong vote when it came to re-instating funding for the Essex County DARE Program. Ò I want this to be the main topic of one of our next community forums,Ó he said. Ò I want to bring everyone to the table as well, not only from the town, but also with Sen. Betty Little, Assemblyman Dan Stec, Kristy Sprague (Essex County DA), Sheriff Richard Cutting and Capt. Tibbetts of the State Police. We need to have some very honest, frank and open discussions on this matter. ItÕ s not An easy problem to deal with. ItÕ s something a town or county board does not have a lot of control over it has to come from state leg.Ó Along with the police and drug issue, Scozzafava also pointed out the desire to have more presence in code enforcement, the importance of sidewalks and recreational opportunities as interesting topics. Ò A lot of them want community meetings on a lot of differ topics and I do not have any problem with that,Ó he said. Ò The town board put on their flack jackets and will sit there to take it. I think the meeting showed that it could be done in a way that there could be criticism of the board but they found fault in a positive way.Ó

Gereau’s new book looks at the two-plus decades of Tahawus

By Keith Lobdell

Ò ItÕ s amazing that a small town like this had its own magazine that has become quite the historical record,Ó he said. Ò There were things that I found and never even knew, like the original name of the town was supposed to be Elijah, after the Native American who discovered the ore there.Ó Tahawus was born out of necessity for natural resources in 1941, when the United States entered World War II. Ò In terms of the village, it was around for a 22-year period of unbelievable turmoil,Ó Gereau said. Ò You had World War II, Korean War, the beginnings of Vietnam, the Civil Rights movement and the assassination of Kennedy that all took place in the lifetime of Tahawus. If it were not for World War II, that place would never have existed.Ó Among shared memories Gereau found through his research, many remembered the creation of the YMCA in 1947, which he said became the backbone of the village. Many also recounted the Teddy Roosevelt Pageant in 1951, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the former president taking the oath of office, where 18,000 people showed

up in the small village to celebrate. Many also shared a sense of loss for the community, as well. Ò A lot of people said they wished they had the chance to let their kids grow up there,Ó he said. Ò There was a very close bond between everyone there that has lasted a lifetime. If there has been one spin-off from the writing of this book, it has been the re-connecting that has gone on. Everyone I talked to asked how someone else they knew was doing.Ó Along with recounting the history of the former mining town, the book serves as a way to give back to the past members of the Tahawus community. Ò This was eight months of working from daylight to dark,Ó Gereau said. Ò I wanted to do this to give back to the community because it had given so much to me. Part of the proceeds will also go toward a Tahawus Legacy Education Fund for any family that grew up there. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren would be eligible.Ó Along with book proceeds, Gereau is also looking to secure funding from National Lead as well as some of the former residents through private donations. The book, which retails for $20, is available at High Peaks Kitchen and Campground, the Newcomb Historical Society and Newcomb Town Hall in Newcomb; the Crossroads Country Store in Chestertown; Bessboro Shop in Westport; Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams; The Bookstore Plus in Lake Placid; the Adirondack History Center Museum in Elizabethtown; Adirondack Buffalo Company in North Hudson; and Incapahco Artisans in Long Lake. “It was great because we got the book back on July 1 and in the first two days we had sold 250 copies,Ó Gereau said. Ò I will be taking it to this yearÕ s Newcomb Day where we are hoping to have about 300 former Tahawus members attend.Ó Newcomb Day is planned for Sunday, Aug. 3 at the Newcomb Town Beach on Lake Harris. For further information contact the author at tahawusproject@ gmail.com.

In brief Annual fair comes to Hague

Chever block party scheduled

keith@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — Leonard Gereau first entered the town of Tahawus in 1943 as an 8 year old, spending his formative years in the mining town. Ò It was a real isolated community and the only way you lived in the town was if you were employed by the company (National Lead Co.),” Gereau said. “My dad worked in the titanium mines, first as a carpenter but then moved quickly through the ranks and became a crusher foreman.Ó Like many small Adirondack mining towns, the people came together for everything. Also like many of those towns, it vanished from the map (in 1963), but not from the memories of those who lived there. Gereau, now 79, has collected those memories as well as photographs from more than 100 former residents of the town to help create Ò Tahawus Memories 1941-1963,Ó telling the story of the unique Adirondack community which existed for only 22 years. The 312page book contains more than 500 photographs to go along with the tales from former residents and news accounts. Gereau said the desire to write the book came from a discussion last year. Ò I was at Newcomb Day last August and ran across several folks I grew up with,Ó he said. Ò We got to talking and the idea of sharing these stories about the town began. I found over 200 people from all over the country - California, Arizona, Texas, a lot in Ohio and a lot in Florida - and encouraged them to find old photographs and send me their old stories. We received 115 responses back. Without the help of the people who responded, this would not have been possible.Ó Research was also done by reading more than 200 editions of the Cloud Splitter magazine Ñ which was a publication compiled by National Lead Co.

Mountain Lake PBS fights to expand service to new areas By Teah Dowling

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Mountain Lake PBS is working to expand its programming to Warren and Washington counties. Mountain Lake PBS (MLPBS) became chartered to serve Warren and Washington counties, along with various other counties, Dec. 20, 1968. However, they were not carried by the local cable provider Time Warner Cable (TWC) for technical and legal reasons. Today, they look to reach out to TWC. Ò Out of the primary questions we receive is Ô why canÕ t we get your station?Õ Ó said Alice Recore, president and CEO of MLPBS, in regards to Warren and Washington counties. Ò We continued to get that question over the years, and we thought that it was best to try to convince Time Warner to carry us down there.Ó Ò Now that weÕ re technically able to do that at little expense, weÕ re just responding to what people want,Ó she said. Currently, there are three ways to technically reach TWC. The first way is by “off air reception,Ó which is how itÕ s distributed now in the Potsdam to Rouses Point, New York area in Northern Clinton, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties. The second way would be by routing their signal from Joint Master Control in

Syracuse to the Glens Falls region, with the last option of picking up an IP program stream by their local internet provider Primelink Inc. Even though MLPBS has the technical matters sorted out, they need to get through to TWC in order to be put in their cable channel lineup. Right now, TWC is not required, even though MLPBS is chartered in those to regions, to carry them. They are, however, required to carry qualified, local public television stations, meaning they have to be within a certain area of their cable headends, which consist of WMHT and Vermont PBS. Ò WeÕ re not looking to replace the other two public television stations,Ó Recore said. Ò [However], we feel our station offers the best local programming to broadcast in the Warren and Washington counties, while also offering the national programing PBS offers.Ó MLPBS first reached out to TWC by a letter containing a list of the programming they provided, ways of how they would get the signal to the Glens Falls area and more information as to why they should be carried by them. In response to their request for carriage, they received a letter back in which TWC said Ò TWC has determined that we do not have an obligation to carry WCFE (MLPBS) on the Glens Falls, Troy or Queensbury systems in Warren and Washington counties.Ó

MLPBS, in response to this letter, asked for their decision to be revaluated. Ò WeÕ re not just looking to be on their because weÕ re a public television station,Ó Recore said. Ò It is because we offer programming that is of great importance to that community, that economy and that way of life. Ò Communities are missing out on the local content we create - not only programs and documentaries that inspire and entertain, but debates and public forums that are essential to creating an informed public,Ó Recore said. MLPBS covers local events like the NY-21 congressional debate, which was unavailable to Warren and Washington counties in the 2012 election. Even though the program was produced in Warren County, the broadcast was unavailable to residents. More recently, an issue occurred June 12 as MLPBS broadcast the Republican primary debate between candidates Elise Stefanik and Matt Doheny in New YorkÕ s 21st Congressional District. The debate was televised from Watertown to Plattsburgh but not in Warren or Washington counties. Ò I wish I couldÕ ve seen it,Ó said Frank Schaeffer, owner of Goldstar Catering in Glens Falls. Ò It is a large market area for that congressional district and it wouldÕ ve been nice to see the debate on TV.Ó Recore said that by adding Warren and Wash-

ington counties to the MLPBS territory, it will ensure that voters across the NY-21 district, NY Senate District 45 and Assembly District 114, receive important coverage of debates and other political events. Also, MLPBS will offer the counties a variety of other programs such as documentaries, interstitials, travel series, story segments and various other specials that are of interest to both counties. Ò The Adirondacks is a unique place to live, and there are all kinds of issues that are unique to that region,Ó Recore said. Ò That region is really not being served with the in-depth discussions and programming that we provide. Ò We can do something that is not being currently offered that is a service to that community.Ó To give MLPBS a better chance of getting carried by TWC, they contacted local election leaders throughout Warren and Washington counties asking them to pass a resolution calling on TWC to carry MLPBS. Also, MLPBS established an online petition for people who want to see MLPBS go to Warren and Washington counties, which can be accessed at http://mountainlake.org/petition or on their Facebook page. Ò We know that this is a choice,Ó Recore said. Ò WeÕ re asking them to make that choice in our favor or, actually, in the viewers favor.Ó

Rain garden planted in Hague HAGUE Ñ Volunteers from the Hague Water Quality Awareness Committee, The Fund for Lake George and the Lake George Waterkeeper helped plant a newly constructed rain garden in downtown Hague on June 23. The rain garden was shaped and filled with infill material with the help of DeFranco Landscaping, Inc. and design from Anthony DeFranco, PE-Consulting Engineer in collaboration with Chris Navitsky, PE- Lake George Waterkeeper. The rain garden will help minimize storm water runoff and pollutants from entering the Hague Brook which is a tributary to Lake George. The runoff from the asphalt parking lot is directed into a grass lined swale and into the rain garden to capture and filter pollutants. Rain gardens are small-scale green infrastructure mechanisms for treating stormwater runoff close to the source using infiltration. To learn about other helpful property management ideas and information on what residents can do to protect the lake, residents should pick-up a copy of the Ò Do-It-Yourself Water Quality-A LandownerÕ s Guide to Property Management that Protects Lake George.Ó DeFranco Landscaping received the 2010 Frank Leonbruno Memorial Lake Stewardship Award from the Lake George Watershed Coalition for use of native plants in their landscape designs and specialize in stormwater solutions and sustainable landscaping with the Lake George basin. RIGHT: Volunteers work on the new rain garden in Hague.

Adkins Town Clerk July 11, 2014 TT-7/19/2014-1TC53592 ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR 2013 Moriah Water District #1 and #2 38 Park Place, Suite 1 Port Henry, New York 12974 (Public Water Supply ID#1500287) INTRODUCTION To comply with State and Federal regulations, we will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact Mr. Dwayne Maye, Water Superintendent, at (518) 942-3340. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled town board meetings. The meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. in the Town Hall. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in

reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. The source of water for the Moriah WD is Bartlett Pond. Raw water receives filtration treatment at the Bartlett Pond filtration plant. The Bartlett Pond water filtration plant is located to the south of Bartlett Pond approximately one-quarter mile west of the pond spillway. The filtered water receives hypochlorination disinfection treatment prior to entering two interconnected storage tanks at the plant. Water flows by gravity from storage at the plant to the Mineville area (Water District #1).. Water is pumped from storage at the filter plant to a concrete storage reservoir at Barton Hill for the Whiterbee area (Water District #2). Water flows by gravity from the Barton Hill storage tank to Water District #2. FACTS AND FIGURES Our water system serves approximately 3,100 individuals through 1,030 service connections. The total volume of water produced in 2013 was 148 million gallons. On average, 405,000 gallons of water is treated and distributed to users of the water system each day. In 2013, the average annual charge for town water service was approximately $270.00 per user. ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include total coliform, inorganic contaminants, nitrate, nitrite, gross alpha, lead and copper, volatile organic contaminants, and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791) or the New York State Health Department at (518) 891-1800.

Some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Moriah Water District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: * Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both of these necessities of life; * Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and * Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential fire fighting needs are met. You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: * Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. * Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. * Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it up and you can save almost 6,000 * Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a

Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it up and you can save almost 6,000 * Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. * Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, then check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak. CLOSING Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year. In order to maintain a safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community. Please call our office if you have questions.
