Ti Kiwanis donates medical bags Pediatric equipment will help EMS calls involving children By Tim Rowland STAFF WRITER

TICONDEROGA | When an ambulance call involves a child, it presents a unique set of problems. Not only is it emotionally difficult, even for seasoned medics, the equipment is generally designed for adults. To help, the Ticonderoga Kiwanis has donated two medical bags specifically designed for children, right down to a comforting teddy bear. The bags, which cost $1,000 each, were donated to the Ticonderoga Emergency Medical Squad during a lunch meeting this month. “Pediatric calls are the worst possible calls we get,” said ambulance board member Dave Woods. “Anything that helps is great.” Eddy Foundation member Tricia Bhatia inspects Parch Pond, about 1.5 miles from Ensign Pond Road.

MORIAH APPROVES PARCH POND SALE

PORT HENRY | The Town of Moriah has endorsed a local land trust’s quest to sell 850 acres of land off Ensign Pond Road known as the Parch Pond tract to the state, a move that would nearly double the amount of tax revenue the town receives from the property. The tract is owned by the Eddy Foundation, a Westport land conservation group. It includes a cozy lake ringed by forests and mountain

views, and a flank of 200-foot cliffs known as the Broughton Ledges that have not been routinely climbed in decades, but include what experienced mountaineers consider some of the Adirondacks’ more challenging climbing. Eddy spokeswoman Tricia Bhatia told the Moriah town board this month that the property would be a natural complement to the state’s new Frontier Town campground 12 miles away. The state has not yet agreed to buy the property, but if it does, it would benefit the town coffers. Eddy pays about $9,000 in town and school taxes on the property, which is enrolled in the state’s 480-a program, which offers a tax break to managed forests. The state, if it purchases the land, would pay full freight, or more than $16,000, said Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava. See PARCH POND » pg. 9
