WALKING STRONG

This Week TICONDEROGA

By Pete DeMola pete@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Twenty-two Essex County residents have been left scrambling to adjust their transportation schedules after the Ticonderoga-based health consortium Inter-Lakes Health (ILH) cancelled the bus service that ferried elderly passengers from the southern part of the county to medical appointments across the region, including Middlebury and Burlington. Essex County officials remain in the dark two weeks after the decision was made on July 28. Ò ItÕ s been hard to get information,Ó Essex County Transportation Coordinator Nancy Dougal told the Board of Supervisors on Monday, Aug. 11. Dougal said one resident has already called the county requesting transport. Ò I have 22 people that we need to decide how to move,Ó said Dougal. Ò Many are in wheelchairs.Ó ILH spokesperson Jane Hooper said residents will still be served. Patrons of the former service were notified in a letter sent on Aug. 1 that the Essex County Bus and Ticonderoga Senior Bus would be available as replacements. Dougal didnÕ t receive the letter. Ò The patients started calling and thatÕ s how we got involved,Ó said Dougal. CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

Mission accomplished for Strand By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

SCHROON Ñ If you enjoy Hollywood when the movie has a happy ending, then this is the story for you. The Strand Theatre in Schroon Lake became the eighth of 10 local, community cinemas to reach their goal as part of the Go Digital or Go Dark fundraising program, led by the Adirondack North Country Association and Adirondack Film Society.

To celebrate, the Save the Strand Committee will host a celebration event Saturday, Aug. 16, at noon at the cinema on Main Street. Ò We would like all supporters of the Strand to assemble in front of the theatre for a celebratory photo,Ó Committee chair Emily Rossi-Snook said. Ò If you have an Ô I Helped Save the Strand,Õ t-shirt, please wear it. We would like as many supporters as possible in this photo.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Every gardener knows to have a vibrant plot, a little weeding has to be done. In the case of the Ticonderoga Police Department, that weeding in the garden known as the village includes getting rid of weed itself. The department, with assistance from the New York State National Guard, New York State Police and Essex County SheriffÕ s, conducted a marijuana eradication sweep Aug. 6 in different parts of town. Ò We were very successful in the village area,Ó Chief Mark Johns said. Ò There were 66 groomed plants that were seized from several different locations.Ó Johns said plants were found in the Mt. Defiance area and along Route 9N with an investigation ongoing. Ò Charges are still pending for three individuals for unlawfully cultivating cannabis,Ó he said. The plants taken into custody were all between seven and eight feet tall according to Johns, with each plant being able to generate between two and five ounces of marijuana. Ò With a street value of $200 per ounce, this was a substantial amount of money seized,Ó Johns said. Ò These were all very well-groomed plants.Ó The eradication sweep is part of an annual project done by the law enforcement agencies throughout the county. Ò There will be more efforts here in southern Essex County in the coming weeks and months,Ó Johns said. Ò This is an ongoing process that we go through yearly on several different days. This was the first day that we had done this in Ticonderoga this year.Ó The bust comes right before

Ticonderoga water project ‘turning into a battle’ with state By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Supervisor Bill Grinnell feels that there is a way to get the townsÕ water system upgraded without jumping through all the hoops the state is requiring. Ò The town is making every effort to comply with what the state has been asking us to do to upgrade the water system, but it appears they want to change the rules as they go along,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s turning into a battle.Ó One of the biggest sticking points between the state Department of Health and the townÕ s lead administrator is where the

water can be sourced from. Ò I made it a big part of my campaign that I wanted to stay with Lake George water because I always felt there was a more than adequate supply and it was filtered properly,” Grinnell said. Ò The state has taken the position that ground water is the only kind of water we can use. The village of Lake George is using the same source for their water and the same technology that we want to use and we are being told no.Ó Grinnell said the town has to upgrade its filtration plant on Lake George, but would prefer to do a complete remodel of the site instead of an upgrade of what is already in place. “You can actually cut the cost by putting newer filtration technology in instead of staying with the old system,Ó he explained.

Ò Ti has excellent water quality, some of the best in the country, and that is without wells.Ó Grinnell said that the town has met with the contractors over the well project. Once created, the well water would be pumped to a new, one million gallon tank in Chilson, which would replace the old reservoir. Water would then feed into the townÕ s eight water districts. The water would be treated at the source to meet state standards. Grinnell said he planned to bring the topic to the table during the Aug. 14 meeting of the town board. Ò We are going to comply as best we ethically and morally can with what the state wants us to do,Ó he said.

Ticonderoga declares ‘war on rubbish’ By Keith Lobdell

TICONDEROGA Ñ This town is ready to take out the trash. The brass in Ticonderoga wants to get more aggressive when it comes to keeping up the appearance of the town, which includes making sure those who own property here but live outside the lines are held responsible for how their place looks. Ò We are actively and progressively pursuing this problem through code enforcement and the Ticonderoga Police Department,Ó Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. Ò We have been giving out citations and some have appeared before the town board and others before the town court, depending on the violation.Ó Grinnell said two properties that had been burned out had been cleaned up since the first of the year and there have been many complaints to the town of places that have bags of garbage piled up and no one taking care of them. The supervisor said the town would clean up any situations if attempts to reach the absentee landlords were unsuccessful, but would not do it for free. Ò If the town has to do it, the cost will be charged to the property owners on their taxes and we have already done that because we could not get a hold of the absentee owner,Ó Grinnell said. Ò All of the actions have been reviewed by our town attorney and within our codes and we are going to do what we are legally allowed to clean things up. We are not going to overstep our bounds, but we are going to enforce what we can.Ó While the town is focused on trash and poor home conditions at the moment, Grinnell said they would look at other issues as they continue to deal with potential code violations.

Farmers’ market continues to grow throughout summer in Ticonderoga TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the achievements of the 2014 FarmersÕ Market and to honor the farmers and consumers who have made this yearÕ s Ticonderoga Area FarmersÕ Market a growing success. Sponsored by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, AmeriCorps for the Adirondacks and Inter-Lakes Health, the Market takes place Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Oct. 11 on Route 9N, southwest of the Liberty Monument. This year the market has grown from one farmer to four bona-fide fruit and vegetable farmers, several specialty vendors and themed event days. NadeauÕ s Farm and Garden Market, Henry Drinkwine Produce, the Daughters 5 Farm Stand and Harrington Gardens are the cornerstones for the fresh, locally grown produce. Coon Mountain Maple Farm (maple syrup), Willow Wood Farm (locally raised beef, eggs), FlackÕ s Country Treasures (Balsam pillows, maple syrup), Rocks NÕ Roses (Alpaca products, artisan bread), and LibbyÕ s Bakery CafŽ (baked goods) make frequent appearances. The Ticonderoga Area FarmersÕ Market is a NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets FMNP (FarmersÕ Market Nutrition Program) approved market accepting checks/coupons. New this year two of the farmers are accepting food stamp (EBT) cards also. NadeauÕ s Farm and Garden Market and the Daughters 5 Farm Stand have the wireless technology to assist those with food stamp benefits. At the market, EBT- card holders are able to purchase food-stamp authorized goods such as: fruits and vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, dairy, maple syrup and other maple products, honey, breads, baked goods, jams and jellies, processed foods and even seeds and plants which produce food. For the last three years New York StateÕ s FreshConnect FarmersÕ Markets have helped thousands of New Yorkers obtain access to home grown, fresh food. New York StateÕ s farms are second to none and through this program we are taking advantage of the incredible food they produce to provide healthier, better options for low income residents. A 2014 enhancement to Governor CuomoÕ s Ò FreshConnectÓ FarmersÕ Market Program is a benefit to Veterans of all ages, providing “FreshConnect’ checks which are being distributed through veteranÕ s facilities currently.

New arts mural takes shape along Ticonderoga street

TICONDEROGA Ñ With the assistance of Sharon Reynolds of PRIDE, a mural project started last summer with the receipt of a $550 grant from the Essex County Arts Council awarded to Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance with the stipulation it be used this year. After successful completion of the mural on the side of Ti Barbershop next to JayÕ s Sunoco, the mural team was willing to pursue another. Over the course of a few weeks, several locations for the next mural were considered and at the recommendation of Vincent Smith, the retaining wall on 9N/Wicker St. was selected.

Times Editorial

Yet another roadblock to the ACRP project

nvasive species, like the spread of deadly algal blooms, has dominated headlines this summer. The issue received a boost last month when Kirsten Gillibrand, New YorkÕ s junior Senator, visited Lake Placid to champion the Invasive Fish and Wildlife Prevention Act, one of the three proposed Great Lakes Bills that would accelerate the federal governmentÕ s review process when it considers whether to ban the importation of animals and plants, among other measures. Combating invasives is a bipartisan issue that has sweeping ramifications across the region. Their pervasive spread costs the federal government damages of $120 billion per year and their presence in the Adirondack Park Ñ including blue algae, milfoil, zebra mussels and the spiny water flea — has the opportunity to derail the chief economic driver of the region Ñ tourism, an industry that generated $144 million in local taxes last year and is the keystone to the North CountryÕ s future, one that complements emerging developments in the biomass energy industry, agriculture and international trade sectors. Excessive amounts of algae, alongside manmade contaminants, chokes off oxygen and leads to dead zones within bodies of water, places where life cannot exist. Readers may be familiar with the problems facing Lake George. There, dead zones have been reported, little storms of stagnation Ñ pockets of slimy algal ooze paired with synthetic pollutants that have posed as a mortal threat to aquatic survival. Exhaustive efforts are under way to keep these combatants in check, including a proposed study in September that will enlist volunteers to scope the shores for the Asian Clam. Another example of a dead zone is Tupper Lake. Beneath the austere gunpowder-gray sheen of Big Tupper belies a sense of unnatural gloom. While the lake itself is just fine, a recent peek into the human habitat shows a disproportionate percentage of those fortunate enough to be working are employed in the public sector, a number expected to shrink as restruction at Sunmount Developmental Disabilities kicks a wider swath into a struggling private sector that often, has no place for them. The invasives threatening Tupper Lake are the two radical environmental organizations who threw up another roadblock to the Adirondack Club and Resort Project earlier this month with another legal challenge. The motion, filed by the two groups made in the Appellate Division, Third Department, is just another ruinous attempt to flush people out of the Adirondack Park, a coordinated action attempting to destabilize the economic stability of the region

August 16, 2014

to pursue their fanatical environmentalist agenda. Earlier this summer, a state appellate court voted 5-0 that the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) did not err in awarding Preserve Associates the permits to undertake the largest construction project approved by the APA, the construction of 600 vacation homes near the Big Tupper Ski Area. The announcement follows the 10-1 ruling in 2012 that the APA conducted a thorough review and the project would not have an adverse environmental impact on the 6,000 acres in question, 90 percent of which were to remain undevelopment after years of negotiations with various stakeholders. Environmental organizations are an integral component to the Adirondack ecosystem. They act as indispensable counterweights to commercial interests and their advocacy is often overlooked by natives who are often frustrated at navigating the cumbersome bureaucracy that is an unfortunate counterpart to our unparalleled natural beauty. The Adirondack Council led the charge on forcing Adirondack Club developers to implement greener energy standards and to reduce potential light pollution. They also pushed for clustering that would have reduced the amount of development across the acreage and more intensive wildlife studies to be conducted by the APA. Despite their efforts, they failed on the last two accounts and the project continued forward. But the Adirondack Council opted to chalk the defeat up to what they perceived as internal flaws within the organization and have opted to pivot their strategy to influence the discussion in other areas. They should be commended for that. We agree with them that the APA should be compelled to scrutinize those issues when addressing development projects while politely disagreeing to the exact scope. This long-term plan to ensure the discussion amongst various stakeholders in the Adirondack Park remains civil is in contrast to the scorched earth approach favored by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, spiteful and vituperative legal maneuvering designed to antagonize Tupper Lake residents and stick the people trying to improve the local economy with the court fees in the process. These actions are causing direct economic consequences to good people. Like the fight against the invasives, ensuring the sustainability of the human ecosystem should be an issue that transcends partisan and ideological squabbling. This includes good schools, competitive jobs and a sustainable year-round economy centered around infrastructure development for our small communities. Anything less is unconscionable. — Denton Publications Editorial Board

Editorial gets it right To the Times of Ti: Finally!! Someone gets it right. Your editorial in the July 19 Times of Ti, regarding the defensive use of guns, is to be applauded. When so much of the liberal news media is constantly on the attack regarding gun ownership, you have written a piece that will make all the gun control advocates shake their heads with disgust. You canÕ t reason with them, but thanks for your valiant effort. Over the last 30 or so years, our country has systematically shut down thousands of institutions for the mentally ill and placed them in mainstream society. The results are and have been predictable. Most of the atrocities committed by people with guns should never have happened because they shouldnÕ t have had access to the guns in the first place. It is time to place the blame squarely where it belongsÉ on the person behind the weapon that is used illegally. To cite two cases, the Newtown, CT shooting was committed by a clearly mentally disturbed young man whose own mother allowed him access to weapons he should have never been near. The response was, and still is, to blame the so-called assault rifle. Recently, near the University of California in Santa Barbara another disturbed young man stabbed three people to death before going on a shooting rampage that killed three more. Most of the focus from the media was on the shooting deaths and very little was mentioned about the three stabbings. As a long time member of the NRA, I receive a monthly publi-

Good points on Ebola issues To the Times of Ti: Your recent editorial about the expense of quarantining two American victims of Ebola virus was thought provoking. I share your frustration about funding priorities. Ebola has caused hundreds of deaths and we hope a cure and treatment are in the nottoo-distant future. But to put this in perspective, in the early 2000Õ s when multidrug resistant TB was discovered, it cost NYC up to half million to quarantine each patient. TB is treatable with a pretty inexpensive regimen of drugs IF people get tested, treated and take their full course of treatment. Let us not forget that millions of people die from TB, AIDS and Malaria. And that millions of children die in Africa of vaccine treatable diseases. Den Pub readers might be interested to learn that thanks to the global vaccine alliance called GAVI, hundreds of millions of children were vaccinated and 6 million lives were saved since 2000. Because many more villages in Africa have access to health

care and vaccines, many families no longer watch their children die of measles, diarrhea and pneumonia. An additional 3 million childrenÕ s lives will be saved if GAVIÕ s multi-national budget is funded for the next 5 years. New anti-rotoviral drugs (anti-pneumonia) are available but need refrigeration and staff and a way to get them into isolated towns and villages. The 25% growth in African economy due to health improvements has yet to diminish the view expressed in your editorial of hopeless frustration. I invite you to educate your readers with what is working in global humanitarian foreign aid. To counteract that, please join me in asking your Member of Congress, (mine is Congressman Bill Owens) to co-sponsor House Res 688 which supports GAVI, the global alliance for vaccines. The Resolution was recently introduced by Congresswoman Betty McCollum. 9 Republican and 9 Democratic members have provided strong bi-partisan initial co-sponsorship. Tell your representative to co-sponsor. Save lives. Sue Oehser Bakers Mills

Reeder named Salvation Army services coordinator

TICONDEROGA Ñ Samuel Reeder has been hired as a Regional Services Coordinator for the Empire State Division of The Salvation Army, announced Major Donald Hostetler, divisional commander. Ò SamÕ s prior experience in senior housing and interaction with community groups will lend itself well to his new position in working with our volunteer driven service units,Ó noted Major Hostetler. Reeder will work with Salvation Army service units, which provide a Salvation Army presence and emergency needs assistance in communities where there is no Salvation Army Worship and Community Center. He will work with service units in 17 counties in northern and eastern New York and the Mohawk Valley. In Essex County, he will work with Salvation Army service unit volunteers in Ticonderoga. He is also seeking volun-

teers to re-activate the service unit in the Port Henry area. Reeder has an extensive background in property management and senior housing. He is a graduate of SUNY Canton. As a veteran, he is active with the American Legion and several veteransÕ assistance programs. Ò I have started visiting volunteers in our service units to support the work they do in each community and I am amazed at their ability to coordinate with other community agencies to help those in need,Ó Reeder said. Ò IÕ m looking for active, community-minded residents to join our service units and continue to Ô Do The Most GoodÕ in each community.Ó Reeder can be reached at Samuel.reeder@use.salvationarmy.org or by calling

All funds raised by the service units stay in the community to meet individualsÕ short term emergency needs.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Ticonderoga Animal Hospital has achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence following a thorough evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association. Ticonderoga Animal Hospital earned AAHA accreditation after a rigorous review of the hospitalÕ s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client services. Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited. Accredited hospitals are the only hospitals that choose to be evaluated on approximately 900 quality standards that go above and beyond basic state reeducations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services. AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry, and are consistently at the forefront of advanced veterinary medicine. AAHA standards are continuously reviewed and updated to keep accredited practices on the cutting edge of veterinary excellence. Dr. James Mack, originally from the Philadelphia area, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School in 1975 and joined the private practice in the Philadelphia area. In 1978 he moved to Ticonderoga where he married his wife Noel, and recognizing the need, he began his own veterinary practice, the Ticonderoga Animal Hospital. The hospital was established in November of that year and modernization and structural improvements were made in 1981, 1984 and 1989 to provide a broader range of client services and to meet the requirements set forth by the AAHA. The Ticonderoga Animal Hospital provides full small animal medical, laboratory, X-ray and surgical services and proudly became a member of the AAHA in 1995.

Blue-green algae closes Port Henry beaches By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

PORT HENRY Ñ Supervisor Tom Scozzafava made the call to close Port Henry beaches Aug. 9 after a scientific experiment involving a very regular school supply, confirmed that the town water may again be contaminated with Cyanobacteria. Ò The pencil test is the best way we have to test for this,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò You take a yellow number two pencil and dip it in the water if it comes back out looking like it was painted green, that is the best indication that there is a bluegreen algae problem. To be on the safe side I made the call to close the beaches Saturday.Ó Lifeguards will remain on duty to ensure that those visiting for the day use area are not swimming. Scozzafava explained that waters were tested by the Department Of Health on Aug. 11. A second test is set to be conducted on Aug. 12 and then at 24 hour intervals until the presance of the substance reaches a point in which swimmers can safely enter the water. Ò The rule, to close the beaches in itself really causes other

dangerous problems,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò You are pushing people up or down the lake to swim, where there isnÕ t a public beach and here (Port Henry) that is a problem as people have to cross the railroad tracks to get the water.Ó This is not the town or villageÕ s first go around with this type of bacteria. In July of 2012 it was found in both local beaches. After a three week bout of testing, the supervisor and town made the decision to move the Sandy Beach from its current location to the locally known Ò pointÓ approximately 250 yards south west, where the algae was not found. Ò If this were June or July, moving the beach would be a consideration,Ó said Scozzafava. Ò This late into the season after getting all the permits to move it, it would be too late.Ó The strain of bacteria known as blue-green algae can be fatal to animals and in the year 2000 caused at least three recorded deaths of canines in the New York and Vermont areas effected. The potential risk to humans according to the DOH include nausea, vomiting, skin irritation, allergic reaction and possible harm to the liver and/or nervous system. Anglers are warned to not consume fish from the area, or those that are visibly covered in the substance.

Moriah elementary students send ‘Slippers to Soldiers’ MORIAH Ñ As a community project, third grade students at Moriah Central School organized a Ò Slippers for SoldiersÓ drive during last yearÕ s holiday season. With tremendous support from the surrounding communities and citizens, the third graders collected over 350 pairs of slippers for soldiers. A large portion of the donated slippers and shower shoes came from the inmates at Moriah Shock. Christina Slattery, mother of third grader Makayla Slattery shared the project with administrators at Moriah Shock who then allowed the inmates to purchase slippers/shower shoes with their own money. With the help of parent volunteers, the Moriah third graders packaged and shipped the slippers to a local soldier, GySgt Daniel LaFountain, son of Sharon and Dan LaFountain of Crown Point. GySgt LaFountain, who was stationed at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom X111, shared the slippers with his unit in Afghanistan. In response to their hard work, the MCS third graders received a certificate of appreciation and an American flag from GySgt LaFountain and his unit. This flag was flown over the headquarters of Regional Command and II Marine Expeditionary Force aboard Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom X111. The flag was also displayed during our 2014 Flag Day Ceremony at Moriah Central School. The third grade students of Moriah Central would like to thank all of the people who contributed slippers for their community project. Special thanks goes out to Christina Slattery and Billie Jo Simpson for transporting all of the shower shoes from Moriah Shock, as well as Renee Shoobe and Bonnie Provoncha, our parent helpers, who packaged and mailed the slippers for us. Participating in this community project helped all of the students understand the daily lives of soldiers a little better. they felt very proud that they worked together and showed others that they care.

Anyone finding oral rabies vaccine bait is asked to leave it alone. If contact occurs wash any skin or wounds that may have come into contact with ORV baits with soap and water, especially if the bait was opened or damaged. ORV cannot cause rabies; rather it causes an immune response. In people exposure to ORV may cause skin lesions or flu-like symptoms. It is not harmful for pets to consume ORV bait, though eating a large number of ORV baits may cause an upset stomach. Wildlife accounts for over 90 percent of all reported rabies cases each year in the US, and raccoons are the species most frequently reported. Rabies is a virus that affects the central

nervous system of mammals and is always fatal if left untreated. It is almost always transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites another animal. Essex County Public Health Department reminds all residents to make sure their pets are up to date with rabies vaccinations and to avoid contact with stray or wild animals. If you, or your pet, are bitten by a stray or wild animal wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical or veterinarian attention and call Essex County Public Health at 873-3500 (1-888-270-7249 after hours). Visitco.essex.ny.us/ PublicHealth for rabies clinic schedules more information about rabies.

Father Sturtz retiring from Minerva and Schroon Lake Parishes By Mike Corey

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON Ñ ItÕ s been a long and very close relationship between Father Richard Sturtz and his parishioners in Minerva and Schroon Lake, but after 19 wonderful years, heÕ s decided to retire. Assigned to both parishes as priest in 1995, Father Sturtz was at an age when many people are thinking retirement (64). He was absolutely not ready to retire at that point, and gave his all to these communities for nearly two more decades. Father Sturtz, at 83, is nearly as spry now as he was when he began his tenure as priest at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Schroon Lake and St. JosephÕ s Catholic Church in Olmstedville. He has a long history of serving his faith, his parishes, and his communities. Ordained as a priest in May of 1956, Father Sturtz obtained his degree in Theology from The Catholic Church of America in Washington, D.C. This was after attending school at Holy Cross College in western Massachsetts for a year followed by three years of schooling at Wadhams Hall Seminary College in Ogdensburg (now closed). After becoming ordained, he returned to Wadhams Hall in 1956 to complete a Masters degree in Library Science; there he contributed to its library by greatly building up its collections. Before coming to Minerva and Schroon Lake, Father

Sturtz spent many years as pastor of various parishes in Black Brook, Au Sable Forks, and Morrisonville, all northern New York communities. Born and raised in Lowville (Tug Hill Region of New York State), Sturtz has always been a lover of the outdoors and outdoor sports. Ò I love skiing, and have enjoyed it since the early 60Õ s Ð I used to ski a lot at Whiteface and Gore Mountain,Ó he said. He also used to sail and golf, but has had to slow down a bit in this respect. He left his position at St. AlexanderÕ s Catholic Church in Morrisonville (Clinton County) in 1994 after six years of service to go on sabbatical, traveling to Jerusalem where he stayed from February to May of 1995. From there, he landed in Essex County at the parishes heÕ s been serving for these last 19 years. Ò These have been golden years,Ó Sturtz said. Ò With wonderful people and wonderful communities.Ó About eight years ago, when he turned 75, he received notice by the Ogdensburg Diocese that he was Ò requiredÓ to retire, but he effectively made the case to stay, and has continued to serve. Ò I am here for the people, and IÕ ve had an absolutely enjoyable time,Ó he said. Sturtz is set to retire on Sept. 15, and he is bittersweet about it. Ò I have very mixed emotions,Ó he related. He will be leaving for Ogdensburg the morning of Sept. 15, where he will live and continue to serve in his retirement, saying mass and being

active in the community there. Ò There will be no administration, no meetings,” he said with a smile. “It will be difficult to leave the people of the Minerva and Schroon Lake parishes, but IÕ m excited about my new ministry.Ó Sturtz is very pleased to know that after he leaves, the two churches will be served by Father Phillip Allen, a very active priest from Indian Lake who has agreed to extend his ministry to the Essex County parishes. Sturtz will be honored and his time as pastor of the Schroon Lake and Olmstedville/Minerva Churches will be celebrated at two receptions. The first will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Schroon Lake. The second will be on Sunday, Aug. 24 at St. JosephÕ s Catholic Church in Olmstedville, also from 2 to 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served, and it will be an excellent opportunity to meet with Father Sturtz to celebrate his service and wish him well with his new endeavors.

spirit of the Separatists that left England aboard a tiny vessel called The Mayflower in 1620, came together as a Christian community to build a church home where all would feel welcome, where all had a voice in the path they believed God was directing them. The faith of those early settlers, carved out of the wilderness of the Adirondacks, a church building in 1845 and dedicated in October of that year. The building cost $1,600 and boasted a basement used for the education of itÕ s members and the community. It was a focal point of that small, growing community. It provided not only a place of Worship, but a communal center for meetings, times of joy and of loss, and great struggle during the early days of this area. This special Service will bring together friends and families from the area. It will serve as a bridge from the days before electricity and electric organs to this time of computers and microchips.

Led by pastors David Hirtle of the First Congregational Church and Gregg Trask of the United Methodist Church, the Service will recall hymns (played on the historic Ò pumpÓ organ by Patricia Knapp), scriptures, prayers, anecdotal information and Messages for both children and the young at heart. Special music by the UMC Praise Group will fill the air as folks from all over join to worship. All of this will join not only tradition but the hearts of faith that sustained those original worshippers and still is relevant to this day. Pastors Hirtle and Trask have issued a challenge on this particular Sunday. The friends and members of the Parish are to attempt to, Ò pack a pew,Ó with their own friends and family much as would have been done in the early days of worship here in the greater Crown Point area. A coffee and fellowship event will follow the service.

routopia is a new sporting term that I recently coined. The definition should be self explanatory for anyone who has ever taken a rod and reel for a walk along a lonely trout stream. I recently traveled upstream on a small mountain brook which flows from high up on a small mountain range in the Adirondacks. The exact location will remain nameless, however it was a stream that I had often wondered about before I took the time to travel to it. Like most local streams, it gatherers itÕ s drainage from a variety of small mountain brooks, creeks, rivulets and springs. My only regret is that I did not take the time to explored the waters sooner. In classic Adirondack fashion, itÕ s waters are a tumbling mass of cold mountain brooks, creeks, spring and bogs that begin from up-onhigh before settling into a short valley of a slow moving, sinuous, flow surrounded by a tagalder-strewn tangle of beaver meadows, small falls and several layers of beaver dams. The beaver dams have created numerous small ponds, which are surrounded by a lot of standing dead wood. It is truly a fearsome looking sight at first glance. My first impression upon stumbling upon the first tier of ponds was, “I guess I better turn back now. It sure would save me a lot of trouble!Ó I had been paddling, pushing, dragging and hauling my little canoe over a series of tiered dams for nearly an hour. I was scratched, sore, sunburned and bug bit. The tangle of foliage, deep mud, tall swale grass and natural punjisticks was nearly impenetrable. The further I traveled up the main stream, the more divided the rivulets became. A few of the rivulets were muddy and shallow, but one in particular was clear as blown glass, and it was cold, really cold, brain freezing cold. I decided that was the route to take. So, with

all my gear stowed away I began dragging my canoe behind on a short tether. I waded up and over downed trees, through alder tangles and was forced to drag the canoe overland around several obstacles. Finally, near the head of the small flow the stream was filled with an oxygen rich froth, which was obviously been created by the falls I had been hearing. I slogged through one last bottleneck on the stream and there it was, the dam. It was the final tier, and if judging by all of the standing deadwood, the final pond was of considerable size. Carefully, I hauled the canoe over the dam and slipped into it. In the first 50 yards, I encountered a tangle of dead trees, a few beaver lodges and signs of at least three more feeder streams that drained into the ponds. Peering through polaroid sunglasses, I was shocked to see the waterÕ s depth. In some places on the bends the stream was over 8-10 feet deep. And when the shadow of my canoe passed over these deep holes, the mud actually parted! But it wasnÕ t mud. ... it was trout, hundreds of them! I had finally discovered troutopia, the ultimate trout anglers utopia. I casted delicate dry flies and they were devoured. I tried streamer flies, and large trout swirled and chased them. I switched and tied on an old school, red and white wet fly. It disappeared from the still surface in a swirl of a large square tail, bright, red spots and white outlined fins. In a short hour, before darkness arrived, I caught and released over 30 brookies; and I was still laughing like a mad man. Ò How come IÕ ve never traveled this way be-

fore?Ó I asked no one in particular. Darkness came quickly, and rather than haul my canoe all the way back to the roadside, I decided to stash it so that I could return for more fun the following day, which I did. In two days time, in the stream and on the small beaver ponds, I landed over 100 fish. Many times, I took six or eight in succession, especially late in the day when they were taking flies from the surface. It was a non-guilty, guilty pleasure, as all of the trout were returned unharmed. Although the largest fish of the day barely topped 13 inches, they were all brilliant, spunkie, strong and oxygen rich. I have to believe they were all wild fish, as the stream has no history of being stocked especially in the

upper reaches, and there were schools of fingerlings recognizable. In fact I caught over two dozen that were barely 4 inches in length. In fact, they occasionally sailed by my ear when I set the hook sharply as they rose to a dry fly. All of the scratches, the bug bites, the cursing, the wet feet and the tree hugging I needed to remain upright in the deep mud was worth it. IÕ d do it all again, and I likely will soon. For now, IÕ ve got Troutopia on the mind, and I simply canÕ t wait to get my butt back in the canoe and point it upstream. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

Ian Bailey Montgomery, White Creek, NY, fishing near the Family camp on Willsboro Bay, recently landed this 26-inch, 9.47 lb drum. When it first nailed his lure and started one of several long runs, Ian’s fishing Buddy, Caleb Hill, Granby, CT, exclaimed, “ If it is a small mouth bass, it will be a New York State record for sure.” After it was netted it was thought to be either a sheepshead or a drum. Internet research confirmed it to be a freshwater drum. After appropriate photographs, the two intrepid anglers happily released it to return to the depths of Lake Champlain. A fishing trip that will remain indelibly imprinted in the two thirteen year old minds for many many years. Pictured here is Ian Baily Montgomery and Caleb Hill are pictured with their catch.

Cuomo announces designation of monies to fund outdoor recreation ALBANY Ñ Governor Andrew M. Cuomo anounced funding for multiple projects on Monday, July 21 that will expand and improve outdoor recreational opportunities in the Adirondack Park, including $750,000 to upgrade the Abanakee Dam on the Indian River, which was the site of the GovenorÕ s Adirondack Challenge in Indian Lake on July 20 to highlight recreational opportunities and promote the regionÕ s tourism industry. Additionally, the Governor announced $250,000 for the development of new equestrian facilities and trails in Essex and Hamilton Counties that will transform the region into a premier horseback riding destination, as well as the opening of a new hiking trail leading to OK Slip Falls in the Hudson Gorge Wilderness. Ò The Adirondack Park is an unparalleled outdoor destination for New Yorkers and visitors, and also a major driver of tourism and economic activity for the surrounding communities,Ó Governor Cuomo said. Ò Yesterday we hosted the Adirondack Challenge to draw attention to all that the region has to offer, and today weÕ re going a step further by expanding and improving the facilities that help to draw travelers from around the globe. The ParkÕ s lakes and forests are the perfect backdrop for hiking, paddling, horseback riding and so many other outdoor activities, and this funding will help local communities realize the full economic potential of these exceptional natural resources.Ó The Adirondack Challenge drew hundreds of elected officials, business leaders and tourism industry representatives to the region for a day of outdoor activities designed to highlight the many opportunities available to travelers. As part of the Challenge, Governor Cuomo participated in a whitewater rafting race with Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin.

Bus issue Continued rom page 1

Joint effort

The program ran out of gas due to the prohibitive costs of repairing the bus, which was fiveyears-old and had 120,000 miles. The program was a joint effort between Hudson Headwaters and ILH. Hudson Headwaters got grant funding for the vehicle, the second in the fleet, explained Hooper. While they owned it, ILH agreed to provide a driver, gas and insurance and ensure its operation. ILH said they werenÕ t in a position to make repairs. Hudson Headwaters rep Howard Nelson said on Monday they opted discontinue the program entirely because they didnÕ t have grant funding to purchase a replacement. This wasn’t the first bus in the program — repairs to other vehicles were made in the past Ñ but nonetheless marks the elimination of the service.

EQUESTRIAN NETWORK The towns of Minerva, Newcomb and North Hudson in Essex County and Indian Lake and Long Lake in Hamilton County will receive a total of $250,000 to develop horseback riding facilities in each of their communities. Among the projects being funded are five parking areas for horse trailers in each town, a pole barn with concrete floor and water, a 1,000 gallon holding tank for disposal of gray water and sewage from trailers, two accessible mounting platforms and a horse washing station. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is currently working to identify and designate horse trails in the Essex Chain Lakes Complex that surrounds the five towns. DEC has also proposed constructing a bridge over the Cedar River in the Town of Indian Lake that would allow horses and their riders to access the Essex Chain Lakes Complex from the south. Ò The beautiful lands and waters of the Adirondacks offer a range of recreation activities for people of all ages and abilities, and thanks to Governor Cuomo, we continue to create new opportunities for people to enjoy the outdoors,Ó DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said. Ò This funding will allow local communities to attract visitors who will have additional opportunities to enjoy the outstanding scenery and breathtaking view in the Adirondacks.Ó The 19,200-acre Essex Chain Lakes Complex is part of the newest forest Preserve lands in the Adirondacks. Eighteen water bodies totaling 785 acres, ranging in size from the 3-acre Chub Pond to the 216-acre Third Lake are located in the Complex. The upper stretches of the Hudson River form its eastern boundary and the Cedar River passes through the southern portion of these lands.

Hooper said the termination was unrelated to the storms swirling around ILH this year, including mass layoffs and personnel changes that have called the facilityÕ s long-term sustainability into doubt. ÒT he repairs that were needed were extensive,Ó said Hooper. ÒT he potential repair was evaluated based on several factors, including the age of the bus and nature of repairs required, much like anyone would evaluate a potential repair bill.Ó

‘Not very forward’

The Essex County Bus can absorb some of those affected, but some outstanding questions are stuck in neutral. The county-run bus cannot go beyond Essex County borders, eliminating medical destinations in places like Queensbury, Glens Falls and Vermont. It is on fixed route that does not make doorto-door stops (but will go three-quarters of a mile off the route to pick up patrons). Ò We try to do our best, but we really have to

Horseback riders will be able to enjoy views of some of the lakes, ponds and rivers, and also the nearby Vanderwhacker Mountain and Fishing Brook Mountain Range. OK SLIP FALLS TRAIL A trail to OK Slip Falls in the Hudson Gorge Wilderness was officially opened to the public as part of the Adirondack Challenge. The three-mile hike leads to an overlook that provides a scenic view of the complete falls. The parking area for the trailhead is located on the south side of Route 28, approximately 7.5 miles east of the community of Indian Lake. The trailhead itself is on the north side of Route 28, 0.2 miles west of the parking area. The trail also provides access to Ross, Whortleberry and Big Bad Luck Ponds. Approximately a half mile up the trail hikers should turn right onto the trail to OK Slip Falls. Follow the trail another 2.5 miles to the overlook on the east side of the OK Slip Gorge. OK Slip Falls is considered one of the highest falls in the Adirondacks and its waters flow into the Hudson River near the center of the Hudson Gorge. The falls are located on the 2,780acre OK Slip Falls Tract which the state purchased from The Nature Conservancy in 2013. These projects build on Governor CuomoÕ s efforts to expand outdoor recreation activities to promote tourism and boost regional economies. In August of 2012, Governor Cuomo announced a five-year agreement under which New York State would acquire 69,000 acres of land from the Nature Conservancy (TNC). The lands had been acquired by TNC as part 161,000-acre land sale by the former Finch Pruyn Company.

work within the parameters of the fixed route,” said Dougal. Ò WeÕ re not going to drop them off at Wal-Mart, weÕ ll take them to Racetrack Road.Ó Dougal pointed out other holes: It will be difficult to get residents from New Russia to ECH, for instance, because service isnÕ t offered to New Russia. The Essex County Office of the Aging has a list of volunteer drivers to help with clients aged 60 and older. But those are private vehicles which, like the Ticonderoga Senior Bus, are not wheelchair accessible. Ò WeÕ ll be picking up some additional transportation requests that hopefully wonÕ t outspend our budget,” said Office of the Aging Director Patty Bashaw. Bashaw said her office continually needs volunteers throughout the county to ensure folks get to medical appointments to keep them healthier and safer in the community. These routine appointments keep people healthy and limit unnecessary ER visits that drive up costs, said Bashaw. Volunteer drivers

will receive gas mileage reimbursement and insurance benefits. Interested parties are encouraged to call 873-3695 to get involved. Dougal said she is in touch with town supervisors throughout the county to ascertain the needs for their constituents. Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell said ILH shouldnÕ t be faulted and the important thing is to focus on a solution: Ò Town, county, state, federal Ñ weÕ re going to find an answer,” he said. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava asked if the county could enter into a contractual relationship with Hudson Headwaters to keep the service running. Dougal said she was unsure of how the contract has historically worked. Ò ILH is not very forthcoming,Ó she said.
