Essex County arrives at tentative budget Tax rate to see 0.6 percent increase By Kim Dedam STA FF W RITER

ELIZABETHTOWN | Essex County is ready with a preliminary 2019 budget that sits about $75,000 below the allowed 2.68 percent tax levy increase cap. The total tentative budget is $104.9 million. With revenues providing $80.2 million toward 2019 spending, the county is looking to raise $23 million by increasing the tax rate by 2 cents, from $3.27 to $3.29 per $1,000 in assessed value, or 0.6 percent. This equates to $2 on a home assessed at $100,000.

GOALS ACCOMPLISHED

County Manager Dan Palmer provided the tentative figures to supervisors on Monday. The budget comes one year after the completion of the county’s five-year strategic budget plan, a process that Palmer said restored the county’s fund balance, which he estimated to be in the $20 million range. » Budget Cont. on pg. 2

FORT ANNE ANTIQUES

HAGUE | Hague will be showing off its creative side Saturday, Dec. 1, with its annual Holiday in Hague festivities, featuring a holiday parade, Christmas tree display and afternoon and evening parties. Throughout the week, evergreen trees will be put up in the village and decorated by local residents and organizations. Organizer Katy Wells said there are usually trees decorated in the traditional fashion, along with themes and vignettes. One memorable entry portrayed the tree

being stolen by the Grinch, she said. Another had ornaments made of laminated photos from events that had taken place in the town. The decorators remain anonymous until the trees are judged at noon on Saturday, with prizes awarded in the evening at the Hague Volunteer Fire Department. Wells said the trees will remain up through the season except for some that are taken to people who are unable to get out and find a tree on their own. The parade will begin at 2 p.m. at Hague Town Park. It’s open to people who want to enter a float, and features a Doggy Parade of costumed canines. “It’s hard to keep a costume on a dog, so it gets interesting,” said Wells, who is dressing up her own boxer, adding that “he looks forward to that day.” There will be dogs of all sizes, and some owners will wear a costume along with the dog, portraying among others, the Grinch and his dog Max. Judges will be along the parade route to select the prize winners. » Holiday in Hague Cont. on pg. 11

» Budget Cont. from pg. 1 Palmer gave credit to budget planning done in his office by Linda Wolf, CPA. “I am pleased to say we accomplished the goals that we set out to do,” said Palmer. “The total increase in tax rate during the five-year recovery plan was 45 cents, or an average of 9 cents per year.” The five-year initiative began after the state comptroller’s office spotted a trend of financial decline in Essex County in 2013, based in part by an over-reliance on fund balance. “We have gotten to the tax cap, but more importantly, we have stabilized our fund balance. When the plan started, our available cash in the fund balance had dropped below $6 million,” Palmer said. With about $20 million in fund balance now, he said, “it looks like we will be able to maintain below the tax cap for a while.” Fund balance proposed for use against the general fund in the 2019 Essex County budget is $1,163,037. But the reserved fund is also used later in the year to fill

in gaps towns face from uncollected taxes. The county must fill all tax warrants for people who don’t pay their taxes in each town, Palmer said. “Those funds either have to come out of our fund balance or we would have to borrow to cover the costs,” Palmer said. In April of each year, he said, the county typically pays out nearly $5 million to cover unpaid taxes.

FISCAL STRESS RATING

The five-year initiative also zeroed out fiscal stress factors. As of July 2017, Essex County had the 53rd lowest of 57 county (plus New York City) tax rates statewide. The average county tax rate in New York is $7 per thousand, according to data from the state comptroller’s office. Comparisons show Essex County earned a zero percent fiscal stress rating as of 2017, compared to neighboring Clinton County and Franklin County with 45 percent and 60.8 percent fiscal stress ratings, respectively. Total assessed property value in Essex County increased by 1.94 percent over the five-year strategic planning period, representing an increase of about $132,000,000 in property value countywide. “Those increases in assessed value represent not only revaluation, but new assessments as well,” Palmer said.

SALARIES SLIGHTLY UP

As to appropriation changes that impact the 2019 budget, Palmer said salaries increased approximately 2.52 percent overall, including a plan to add spending for school resource officers to the county budget. Health insurance costs decreased by 3 percent, driven by a favorable experience rate in 2018. A similar favorable rate renewal in workers’ compensation netted a cost decrease of $100,997. Federal revenue for federal inmates in the Essex County Correctional Facility is expected to increase by about $100,000 next year for a total $1.4 million. Mandated costs remain the same as the previous budget, Palmer said. “Mandate costs continue to consume nearly 80 percent of our levy,” he said. “I simply do not hold out much hope that is going to change. My hope moving forward is that the state doesn’t make it worse. Moving into 2019, we are concerned with the Raise the Age requirement,” Palmer said. Under new Raise the Age laws, 16 to 18 year olds will be

&1~~~~g~·

treated as juveniles in the criminal justice system. “These cases currently handled in local criminal courts would be transferred to the county Family Court,” Palmer said, “which would increase costs associated with Family Court proceedings.” Maximum salaries for supervisors are proposed at $24,711.05 for board chairman and the budget liaison officer, with 16 additional supervisors paid $19,711.05 each.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Only one person spoke at the public hearing held ahead of Ways and Means Committee discussion. Steve Kenworthy, director of the Essex, Clinton, Franklin Library System, expressed gratitude for Essex County’s financial support, pointing to the $24,990 request approved by lawmakers for funding in 2019. “We take our stewardship over public funds very seriously,” Kenworthy said. The Essex County Board of Supervisors will review the budget figures on Dec. 4 and must adopt a final spending plan by Dec. 20. Copies of the tentative budget are available at the Office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors on Court Street, where they can be viewed or procured between office hours 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. ■

Annual holiday procession returns next weekend

TOYS FOR TOTS SCHEDULE

STA FF W RITER

TICONDEROGA | “Toys for Tots” will ride into Clinton and Essex counties next Sunday. Toys collected across the region will be delivered to North Country children on Dec. 9 aboard six tractor trailers, with planned stops in Fort Edward, Ticonderoga, Lewis, Keeseville and Rouses Point. This beloved holiday procession that brought 10,000 toys to local children last year will be powered by Upstate Transit of Saratoga and escorted north by the Saratoga County Sheriff ’s Department. This year’s toy collection drive is currently underway at more than 400 locations, including drop-off points at 100 Dunkin’ restaurants, according to the Capital Region Toys

AMTRAK BOWS OUT

The announcement came after Amtrak notified the Marine Corps in August that the company would no longer provide a free charter train for the program, sparking concern that the charity could be forced to terminate the annual program. Amtrak had initially planned to halt service after adopting new guidelines for charter trains. But at the urging of Reps. Elise Stefanik, Paul Tonko and John Faso, the service pullout was temporarily staved off. Though the three representatives again urged Amtrak to continue service, the company announced it planned to uphold the new guidelines.

The Toys for Tots procession will roll into the North Country Sunday, Dec. 9. The full schedule of stops includes: • Ticonderoga: 1092 Wicker St. at 12:30 p.m. • Lewis: 702 Stowersville Rd. at 2 p.m. • Keeseville: 1460 Route 9N at 3 p.m. • Rouses Point: 39 Lake St. at 4:30 p.m. ■

for Tots Foundation. Marines will work with more than 200 community agencies to distribute the toys and will be equipped to serve 200,000 children. Dunkin’ has been a chief contributor, donating nearly $300,000 to the program over the past decade. Representatives from the local sheriff ’s de-

“Once again the community came together to make sure we didn’t fail,” retired Sgt. Albert Roman, the local Toys for Tots campaign coordinator, said in a statement. “The power of this community is so tremendous. I’m confident that together we can accomplish anything.” Local officials were effusive at the continuation of the program. Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo said he was pleased to work with his counterparts in Clinton, Washington and Essex counties. “It was extremely exciting to be able to provide the support and coordination needed to allow the Marines and Capital Region Toys for Tots to complete their mission of delivering toys to these locations reaching as far as the Canadian Border,” Zurlo said in a statement. ■

Pageant will be held Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Ticonderoga High School Auditorium. Tickets are $5 each and children five and under can get in for free. Event goers can purchase raffle tickets at $1 each for the basket raffles and at $5 each for the wooden wishing well raffle. All proceeds will go toward the cost of the pageant. After the two hour show, each winner will receive a crown, sash, flowers, trophy, participation gift and cash prizes. A community service plague and cash award will also be given out. ■

Teens celebrate Thanksgiving at YMCA Group learned safe cooking habits by preparing meal

TICONDEROGA | Teens celebrated Thanksgiving at the Silver Bay YMCA Teen Center in Ticonderoga with a lesson on proper food preparation followed by a family style dinner with Silver Bay YMCA staff. According to Steve Tamm, chief executive officer of Silver Bay YMCA, this is the second year that the organization has held this event. “As part of our ongoing teen program in Ticonderoga, we are looking for creative ways to teach valuable life skills to local teens in a fun, safe and wholesome environment,” said Tamm. “This year, we partnered with Mazzone Hospitality, who supplied the food for the event along with two certified chefs to teach the teens. Over 20 teens attended the event, which included all the traditional Thanksgiving dinner staples. “For some of the teens, this will be the only sit-down Thanksgiving meal they will have this year, and we were glad not only to have been able to offer this meal, but also to have created a true Thanksgiving experience for them.” Jackie Palandrani, youth and teen director of Silver Bay YMCA, noted that the teens were excited and proud of their involvement in making the Thanksgiving meal. “All the kids really dove into the food prep-

Thoughts from Behind the Pressline

We shouldn’t run from the past Poor old Charlie Brown can’t win for losing. This time it wasn’t Lucy who pulled the By Dan Alexander ball away just when • PUBLISHER • Charlie went to kick it. It was 2018 political correctness reaching back from the future, 45 years removed to slam Charlie, not to the ground, but instead with a racist title. Critics are slamming ABC’s “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” for seating its only black character, Franklin, alone on one side of the holiday table in a rickety old lawn chair, that at one point topples Franklin over in his half-broken chair. Meanwhile, white friends including Peppermint Patty, Charlie Brown, Sally and even Snoopy were all seated across from him in real chairs as they feasted on an impromptu holiday feast of toast, jelly beans and ice cream in Charlie Brown’s backyard. The annual special, which debuted Nov. 20, 1973, aired again last week and prompted a social media outrage over the gang’s highly suspect picnic table arrangement. So enlightened as we are today, causes many to now be outraged when life as it was back then isn’t portrayed by today’s accepted standards. Yesterday was yesterday and today is today. Nothing we do today will ever change what actually happened in the past. We could rewrite history. The ABC cartoonists could certainly create new sketches to go with the voices on “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” but it wouldn’t be a true to life representation creator, Charles Schultz gave to the characters in the popular comic titled Peanuts which began in 1948. Cartoonist Charles Schulz fought the syndication that published Peanuts to add Franklin to the cast to stand up against racism in 1968. As such, we should applaud Schulz for his forward thinking then, even though it wasn’t far enough by today’s standard view. Holiday classics like “White Christmas,” “It’s a Wonderful Life” or even “A Christmas Story” are historical heirlooms that are part of our cultural past. Times have changed for the better in so many ways, but will classics like these or “Gone with the Wind” be outlawed because they are reflective of a time from our past that can offend the norms of today? How might we be judged 50 years from now? There is no telling how much society will have changed over that period of time. We are all a product of the time in which we were alive and it’s just as unfair of us today judging those in the past as it will be those in the future judging our honest efforts in these times. ■

Opinion

suncommunitynews.com/opinions

Pass or fail, community must be assertive post-merger vote Should Westport Central and Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School merge? Residents in the neighboring districts will formally vote on Tuesday in a binding referendum. Voters approved a straw poll by wide margins in October. If residents in each district formally approve the merger on Dec. 4, the rest is history. Whichever way the vote goes, next week will close a remarkable chapter in each district’s history, capping off a series of formal Merger Advisory Committee meetings, community forums and robust social media discussion. Both camps have valid points. Advocates point to the merger study that determined a combined district would receive more state aid and would likely increase programming for students, including extracurriculars and coursework that has fallen by the wayside in the wake of devastating budget cuts. Skeptics question if projected cost savings and tax equalizations will materialize. Many seek additional clarity on how the bump in funds can be utilized, as well as question how finances deteriorated to the point when a merger is even being considered to begin with. A merger strikes at the very heart of community identity, and residents are grappling with those implications. Officials have acknowledged they’ve entered

Merger will yield positive results

To the Editor: On Tuesday, Dec. 4, the residents of Westport, Elizabethtown and Lewis will vote for or against a merger of the two school districts. In the past year, we have seen much information and emotion circulating around our communities. We acknowledge the strong feelings of everyone and trust that all of us are motivated by the desire for excellent education for our children. That said, we believe a merger is the best path forward. While it is not possible to know exactly what will happen in either scenario, the facts point us to positive results with a merger and negative results without a merger. We recognize this is not a lastminute decision but one that has been in the offing for more than a decade as the school districts have grappled with how to manage a shrinking tax base and school population with increasing needs. From our perspective, we believe a merger offers many possibilities for students, teachers and

uncharted territory without a roadmap, and that a leap of faith is necessary for the transition to be successful. A “yes” vote would defy modern trends. Just two school districts have merged in the last decade. Numerous others have died in the study phase. If approved, transition would commence at a lightning pace before the newly-joined district begins operation on July 1. A “no” vote wouldn’t entirely kill a consolidation, but would rather start a year-long countdown before the question can again be brought to a public vote in the district where it failed. We hope whichever way the vote goes, stakeholders will work together for the common good as they navigate the next steps. Cooperation will be essential, not only for the success of the students and ensuring a solid foundation for our communities, but also for the broader public discussion. If successful, the two districts have a tremendous opportunity to lay down the blueprint for a successful merger process for Adirondack school districts. Unlike Vermont, there’s no formal push from the state to merge. But many of the 700+ public school districts statewide are facing similar dynamics, grappling with static tax bases, declining enrollment, increasing costs

the communities at large. Coming together as one brings strength, diversity and opportunities not possible when our school districts remain separate. We understand how hard change is. Yet we encourage our friends and neighbors to embrace a new vision, vote for change on Dec. 4 and support the merger. - Lyn Barrett and Ron Bussian, Westport ■

Merger in best interest of students

To the Editor: As the Elizabethtown-Lewis Parent Teacher Organization Board, we have collectively engaged in the process of analyzing information concerning the upcoming possibility to have our school, Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, merge with Westport Central School. After serious consideration, it has become clear that we stand in firm support of this upcoming and hopeful time for our communities. The merger would directly support our mission statement to “strengthen, enhance, and nourish all aspects of the educational and

and perennial budget tensions in Albany. A vote on Tuesday will likely lead to districts across the state revisiting the consolidation question. Wouldn’t it be nice if, say, a decade down the road, ELCS and WCS were known as the two districts that ultimately made it work and set the template for everyone else? Voices of the students must also be prioritized. During the transition process, they should be afforded the opportunity to speak candidly, something many contend hasn’t always been afforded to them during the merger process. If the measure fails, the same challenges remain: The population will continue to dwindle as waves crash on perilous fiscal shores. Each district will still be required to chart a sustainable path forward, engaging in logical, measured discussion — not a circular firing squad. Stakeholders at the Sun-sponsored merger forum Monday in Elizabethtown repeatedly said merger discussions tend to galvanize community involvement and can serve as a renewal process. It has. We just hope the overall civic engagement continues in a positive direction following next week’s vote, and residents continue to assert themselves and play constructive and helpful roles in the process. Because your voices and involvement will still be needed. ■

social environment” for our children. It would also create opportunities for our children to “socialize, communicate and grow.” This has already been evident through our shared sports programs and we are excited to see our students’ education enhanced by an innovative and collaborative sharing of resources. This fall, we stood on the sidelines of numerous soccer games and watched the combined efforts of the students of ElizabethtownLewis Central School and Westport Central School. Our students were united in a common cause and exhibited sportsmanship while forging trust and admiration for one another; they have proven to us that we are stronger together. If the schools merged, many uncertainties would need to be resolved and change can be difficult. Yet, it is in times of change that opportunities are created; the future of a merged school allows us to be an exciting part of the narrative of our communities.

Merger makes economic and educational sense

To the Editor: On Dec. 4, we will have a rare opportunity to vote for a merger between the Westport and the Elizabethtown-Lewis school districts. While merger discussions involving various local schools have been occurring for over 30 years, this single vote can actually make a merger happen between the two closest districts both of which have similar needs. Falling student enrollment numbers and uncertain state aid packages have forced us to decide this issue once and for all. » Letters Cont. on pg. 7

» Letters Cont. from pg. 6 A merger may or may not reduce your taxes, but the information from the studies concludes that stabilization of taxes is probable as a result of shared services and additional state aid. As important, is that educational programs will be stabilized and probably increased leading to a better education for our students. It’s important to remember that a vote to merge is not a vote approving a new school campus somewhere between Westport and Elizabethtown. That will be a different vote several years in the future as proposed by a new school board of education. I intend to vote yes for this merger, for it appears to make economic and educational sense. I wish it didn’t require additional busing, but this is outweighed by all the other positive impacts. I am in no way sold on a new campus yet, since more needs to be known regarding it’s feasibility including whether or not a suitable site is even available. Some would prefer to postpone a vote for another year seeking more information, but it appears to me we have everything we need and another year isn’t going to change that. What waiting will do, is bring about another tax increase, probably more lost educational programs and perhaps less state aid for a future merger. I urge everyone to vote for this merger. - Ken Fenimore, Elizabethtown ■

Congrats to elected women and female voters

To the Editor: The midterm elections showed the power of women in our country. The old saying “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” rang true as the women of America showed their distaste for our president and his remarks concerning them. I salute these women and wish them well as many are now in Congress and the Senate. This has been too long in coming as many of the men serving in these positions are of the same ilk as our president. It is my belief that when 2020 arrives, we will have more women elected and the demeaning of them will be met with swift justice. With 121 women in both houses, we will see a difference when it comes to working together for the good of the country, not political parties. The most encouraging is how many of these women have served our country in our armed forces. For too long, our Congress and Senate have had a small percentage of those who served or are veterans. Americans can be sure those women elected, both Republican and Democrat, will hold the men in both parties’ feet to the fire. Our president has belittled women all to often and Mitch McConnell had better take notice as he has done his share! Congratulations not only to those elected to office, but to every woman who voted to elect them. God bless. - Gary Phillip Guido, Ticonderoga ■

Consider donating to nursing homes for holidays

To Editor: With the holidays quickly approaching, in nursing homes we have to start thinking about Christmas now. It takes a lot of work to be able to provide a special Christmas for all of our residents. One of the things that we truly rely on to make all of our residents’ wishes to come true is community donations. So as the Christmas season is approaching, I ask everyone to take a moment and consider the residents who have to live in nursing homes. If you are looking to make a donation to a nursing home, here are a few suggestions of what most residents are looking for: body wash, lotion, shampoo, perfume, body spray, cologne, pajamas, puzzles, games, decks of cards, socks, slippers, candy, deodorant, watches, radios, MP3 players, headphones, DVDs, CDs, pens, writing paper, magazine subscriptions, etc. Donations of wrapping paper and gift bags are also welcome. Also consider giving your time. Residents love visitors, carolers and visits from children! As you can see, most of what they are looking for are small items, but these small items mean so much to someone who can’t get out and purchase them on their own. Thank you in advance for your kind donations! - Teresa Lemieux, Plattsburgh ■

Grateful for Honor Flight celebration

To the Editor: Today, John Rasmusson, United States Marine Corps World War II, and I joined with several Honor Flight veterans at a celebration at the Ticonderoga High School. It approached that trip to D.C. in many ways. McDonald and his staff, as well as the full assembly, honored us. First, with coffee, then up to the assembly hall for a film about vets in war. Then, with questions for the vets. Finally, with a well severed delicious lunch. I also wish to thank Sheriff Cutting for his efforts on this day. Another unforgettable day to say the least. - Bob Spring, Ticonderoga ■

‘Tis the season for gift card scams COMMON GIFT CARD SCAMS

So many gifts in just one little card.

;

PF'':c'/i :{~-:Zt

As the holiday season swings into gear, three retailers have changed their gift card policies in order to crack down on scams.. File photo the warning signs of scams and warn potential victims when appropriate. “With gift card scams on the rise, these changes will help provide critical new protections to New Yorkers and consumers across the country,” said New York State Attorney General By Pete DeMola EDITOR Barbara Underwood in a statement. Underwood said she’ll continue to press additional retailers to make changes. TICONDEROGA | As the holiday Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh season ramps into high gear, authorities are urging consumers to be wary Shapiro said this level of change in corporate behavior usually requires years of of gift card scams. Twenty-six percent of victims who re- investigations and, sometimes, litigation. “Here, we were able to work conported scams between January and Sepstructively with retailers to address tember 2018 paid with gift cards, accordthe issue and protect consumers from ing to the Federal Trade Commission. That’s compared to only 7 percent scams,” Shapiro said in a statement.

State working with retailers to combat fraud

in 2015, marking a 270 percent increase, said the New York State Attorney General’s Office. Scammers often impersonate family members, law enforcement officials or tech companies directing victims to purchase thousands in gift cards and demand payment. In the “grandparent scam,” the caller impersonates a grandchild, claiming they’ve been arrested and need funds for legal fees paid through gift cards. “Once a consumer falls victim to the scheme, the scammer often continues to call the victim demanding more money in gift cards, resulting in large losses to consumers,” according to the attorney general’s office. The scammer then uses the gift cards to purchase third-party gift cards such as iTunes, Steam or Google Play which are often resold on the black market. Seniors are particularly at risk, authorities said. One New York resident reported losing $36,000 as the result of a grandparent scam, said the attorney general’s office. After providing the numbers on the backs of the cards, victims are ordered to destroy them, which prevents consumers from asking the retailer to freeze the cards, authorities said.

RETAILER REFORMS

As a result of the uptick, the state Attorney General’s Office has partnered with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office and three major retailers to reform their policies. Target, Best Buy and Walmart have reduced the total amount that a consumer can purchase in a single transaction in store-branded gift cards. The retailers have also reduced the maximum dollar amounts that can be loaded on store-branded gift cards, as well as placed restrictions on redemption of the cards for others. Walmart, for instance, has dropped its $5,000 limit on gift card purchases to $1,000. The retailers have also boosted training to help employees identify

IDENTITY THEFT

The rise of online shopping has also led to an increase in identity theft, fraud and abuse by cyber criminals, according to the New York State Division of Consumer Protection. Identity theft complaints during the holiday season rose 9 percent between 2016 and 2017, leading to a total loss of over $88 million. Authorities are asking online shoppers to be vigilant during the holiday season. Consumers are urged to be wary of fake websites, safeguard personal information while shopping online and avoid using public computers or wi-fi when making purchases or conducting online banking. “Criminals will look for every opportunity to steal and take advantage of their victims,” said New York State Police Superintendent George P. Beach II in a statement. “The commonsense steps are the ones that will protect you from becoming a victim. Being alert and taking the appropriate precautions will help to keep you safe this holiday shopping season.”

READ THE FINE PRINT

Authorities are also reminding shoppers to read the fine print when purchasing gift cards for details on fees and expiration dates. While some gift card sellers have eliminated inactivity fees, consumers should still ask whether fees apply when purchasing a gift card, said New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. Gift cards should be used within a year of purchase to avoid inactivity fees, he said. Consumers are also encouraged to register their cards with the retailers. Money from unused cards issued by New York businesses is turned over to the comptroller’s office as abandoned property after five years of dormancy. By registering, owners can be identified which improves the opportunity of finding and claiming unused card balances. The comptroller’s office received nearly $12 million from dormant gift cards last year, DiNapoli said. ■

Gift cards cannot be used to pay bail, a lawyer, the IRS, or tech support. “If someone demands to be paid with a gift card, it’s a scam,” said the state Attorney General’s Office. Consumers are urged to never give gift card numbers on the back of gift cards to unknown parties. Shoppers should be advised the IRS does not initiate contact with a consumer over a tax debt by phone, but through official mail. “A big red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are the IRS, urging immediate payment,” according to the state Attorney General’s Office. Common gift card scams include: Grandparent Scam: The scammer impersonates a grandchild of the victim who claims to be in some sort of trouble, typically related to a car accident or arrest, and in need of money to pay for bail or a lawyer. Victims report that the scheme was believable because the scammers knew the names and other information about their grandchild and sounded like their grandchild. IRS Scam: The scammer impersonates someone from the IRS attempting to collect taxes allegedly owed. The scammer usually threatens arrest that day if the debt is not paid immediately via gift cards. Again, the victims report that the scheme is believable because the scammers may give the name and badge number of a real IRS agent whose identity can be verified online, the scammers may know detailed information about the victim’s tax history, or the scammers may send the victim an email that appears to be from an IRS domain. Tech Support Scam: The scammer impersonates a tech support employee claiming to work for the manufacturer of the victim’s computer. The scammer claims there is a virus and requests remote access to the victim’s computer. After the scammer “fixes” a non-existent problem, he or she demands payment for the services and refuses to unlock the computer until the victim pays. “Scammers also often train their victims to give false information to retail clerks who may question a large gift card purchase.” If you discover that a loved one has fallen prey to a gift card scam, immediately contact the retailer where the cards were purchased to see if the retailer can freeze any funds remaining on the card. Consumers should also contact the New York State Office of the Attorney General by filing a complaint online or calling 1-800-771-7755. ■ — Source: New York State Attorney General’s Office

Lake George in photos ‘J.S. Wooley’ takes a look at the man behind the lens By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

SILVER BAY | Some fascinating parallels exist between Adirondack photography in the early 21st century and that of a century prior. Where digital cameras have turned artistic photographs into an everyman’s pursuit today, at the turn of the 20th century, Rochester’s George Eastman was producing handy pointand-shoot Brownie cameras that opened what had been a complicated vocation to the masses. And as the selfie has tantalized and attracted multitudes to the Adirondack Park, so did the photographers and writers of the latter 1880s. Indeed, there was even the same hand wringing at overuse, as thousands of unprepared people, drawn by the photographs of Seneca Ray Stoddard and the writings of Adirondack Murray flooded the mountains, earning them the epithet of Murray’s Fools. But swimming unnoticed beneath the celebrated Adirondack artists was a breed of photographer who flitted between the worlds of art and commerce. These were the town photographers, an uncelebrated and largely forgotten class, who set up shop in villages across the country in the decades bracketing the turn of the last century. While their work was largely pedestrian, every so often a town photographer possessed a degree of artistic skill that is worthy of a closer look. One such man was Jesse Wooley who most memorably worked along the shores of Lake

George in a career lasting from the 1880s to 1930s. His story is told in the book “J.S. Wooley; Adirondack Photographer,” edited by Richard Timberlake and Philip Terrie and published by Syracuse University Press. The editors’ bona fides are well established, lending the work immediate artistic and scholarly credibility. But the chore becomes convincing a public — which by now has become addicted to digital Play-Doh yielding psychedelic sunsets — that sober, painstakingly composed panoramas of yore are worthy of our time. In a collection of essays, “J.S. Wooley” does just that in a somewhat tricky way. It gets us interested in Jesse Wooley the man, as well as a seldom-explored slice of American commerce. Ladle in a little good, old-fashioned Adirondack history and an explanation of old-time camera technology and we are hooked, before we have seen any of the artist’s work, which the book saves for last. Wooley’s base of operations was Ballston Spa, just south of Saratoga Springs, although his home away from home was at a YMCA and missionary school in Silver Bay, where he spent summers as the Silver Bay Association’s official photographer. Early in his career, Wooley traveled and shot film with the older Stoddard, perhaps as something of an apprentice to the great Adirondack chronicler. A testament to Wooley’s skill is Terrie’s observation that, left unmarked, it can be difficult to tell whose work is whose. Wooley’s art is interpreted in an essay by Caroline Welsh, who explains his use of light, texture and shadow to dramatic effect, as well as his use of the sharp lines created by a dock or a mountain ridge to steer the viewer’s eye across the photograph. Wooley was also skilled at incorporating items of interest into the shot, be it as subtle as a stone

CROWN POINT | Crown Point Central School teacher Crystal Farrell provides lessons in history through family context with a world view. The facts, figures and hands-on interaction work to shrink the world from Vietnam and France to nearby streets. In eighth grade social studies class, students were able to pick up and review original source materials that, in some cases, traveled to foreign war zones before coming home tucked in a soldier’s pocket. Some items came from the White House

In gold script on a white card under the official seal of the U.S. President it reads: “Medal of Honor Presentation by Lyndon Baines Johnson/ President of the United States of America.” Farrell’s uncle “Buzz” was one of five Vietnam veterans honored Sept. 18, 1968 at 11:30 hours at the White House. “He risked his life for his buddies,” Farrell explained of the honor, the highest military decoration given in the United States.

The invitation from U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson for Medal of Honor ceremonies was given to family members of Raymond “Buzz” Wright in 1968. This invitation was for Buzz’s brother, Charles A. Wright. and Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson. Farrell’s uncle Spc. Four Raymond “Buzz” Wright fought in Vietnam and is one of only a few thousand military personnel to ever earn the Medal of Honor. Her father, Charles A. Wright, served in World War II and won a silver star for his service. And among primary source documents, Farrell shared her dad’s discharge papers with the students. “He served one year, seven months and 16 days,” she said, lifting the paper and walking toward the other end of a table filled with photographs, booklets, handwritten letters and invitations. Farrell picked up a small hymnal titled “Singing is the Thing.” On the bottom edge of the cover are handwritten letters “YMCA.” It was in her father’s jacket through the war, she said.

The students listened carefully. Raymond and Charles Wright were two among 11 sons and three daughters born to John and Elizabeth (Reed) Wright, of Mineville. All 11 sons served in the military.

Miranda Tompkins, left, and Marissa Duprey, right, sift through pages of the hymnal that Pvt. Charles A. Wright carried through the mud in France during World War II. from enemy bunkers in the Ap Bac Zone on May 2, 1967. “This might be hard to hear,” Farrell said, and began to read the Medal of Honor Citation aloud. It’s there, in gold leaf print, on the invitation her family received so many years ago. “The two soldiers worked their way through the remaining bunkers, knocking out four of them. Throughout their furious assault, Specialist Wright and his comrade had been almost continuously exposed to intense sniper fire from the treeline as the enemy desperately sought to stop their attack. “Overcoming stubborn resistance from the bunker system, the men advanced into the treeline forcing the snipers to retreat, giving immediate chase, and driving the enemy away from the friendly unit so that it advanced across the open area without further casualty. “When his ammunition was exhausted, Specialist Wright returned to his unit to assist in the evacuation of the wounded. This two-man assault had driven an enemy platoon from a well prepared position, accounted for numerous enemy casualties, and averted further friendly casualties. Specialist Wright’s extraordinary heroism, courage, and indomitable fighting spirit saved the lives of many of his comrades and inflicted serious damage on the enemy.” The room was pin-drop silent.

STUDENTS REACT

Farrell encouraged the class to spend a few minutes in “group talk,” discussing among themselves what they found most important about history, military service and

The Times of Ti Sun | December 1, 2018 • 11

honor bestowed on veterans. When she asked what they find as important from the source documents and the lesson, one group said Buzz Wright “went above and beyond the call of duty. He did more than he had to.” “What kind of feeling does this evoke?” Farrell asked. “Pride, amazement, speechless, shocked,” were some of the students’ responses. “The primary source documents are right over there,” she said, inviting the students to lift, look through, read and consider the historical pieces of a family’s service. For Crown Point eighth grader E.J. Miller, the lesson plan was real history brought alive and in his classroom. “This is amazing. It’s amazing that people do this,” he said. “This is more powerful than anything I’ve seen before.” For Michal Thompsen, the local connection was visceral. “It is interesting that someone would win such an honor from this little area. It’s just amazing.” Miranda Tompkins and Marissa Duprey gingerly lifted the hymnal and Charles Wright’s prayer book from the table. They looked through the songs, words printed between rows of notes. “Veterans are important to our history,” Miranda said. ■

A family photograph shared in class by Crown Point Central School teacher Crystal Farrell is a formal portrait of her uncle, Raymond “Buzz” Wright who was presented with the Medal of Honor at the White House in 1968.

» Holiday in Hague Cont. from pg. 1 Santa and Mrs Claus will be in the parade as well, and will attend a post-parade Christmas party with crafts, games, treats and gifts for the kids at the Hague Community Center. At 5 p.m. there will be a Firehouse Pizza and Wing Party at the fire hall. Food is available for eat-in, take out or delivery by calling 518-543-6059. Music and drinks will be provided at the party. Wells said organizers are hoping to attract more people to the event, which depending on the weather can bring in 75 to 100 people for the parade, and hosts 50 to 60 children at the kids’ party. “We’re trying to build it back up,” Wells said, adding that people don’t have to be from Hague to participate. “It’s a lot of fun for the community.” ■

Local merchants and Chambers of Commerce celebrated Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24, in which shoppers were encouraged to get out in their communities and patronize neighboring businesses. Participating merchants offered discounts, prizes and specials throughout the day. Small Business Saturday was founded in 2010 by American Express as a way to help small merchants emerge from the economic recession. Small Business Saturday falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, between The Port Henry Chamber of Commerce offers refreshments to shoppers. Photo by Tim Rowland Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The gift of animals

The Sunday School children at the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church are raising funds to be sent to the Heifer Project International. They will be found at the festivities in Ticonderoga during the tree lighting on Friday, Nov. 30. Pictured are some of the Sunday School children, Ruth and Linnea Fingland receiving a check from Ann Westervelt, copresident of the Carillon Garden Club. Sunday School teachers, Marsha LaPoint, Angie Spaulding and Louise Goodwin look on.

Ticonderoga Sunday school to give third-world communities an economic boost By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER

Photo provided

TICONDEROGA | When Marsha Lapointe sat down with her First United Church Sunday School class to explain how they could help their fellows this Christmas season it was, as these things go, an easy sell. What kid wouldn’t want to give animals for Christmas? Real mooing, bleating and clucking animals — not the stuffed kind. The class is collecting donations for Heifer International, a worldwide charity that provides breeding animals to impoverished communities in third-world nations. The animals become a source of food and income, and their offspring multiply and give the village a sustainable economic and nutritional footing. The goal of the class is to raise $5,000 for a Gift Arc of animals, including two water buffalos, two cows, two sheep and two goats, along with bees, chicks and rabbits, which to start will provide a community with milk, eggs, honey and wool. Along with the animals, Heifer provides workers who provide veterinary care, expertise in animal husbandry, providing for a sustainable food source and ensuring that the mating pairs are for breeding not eating. The choice of Heifer for a Christmas project suggested itself in a couple of ways, one of which, for Lapointe, was deeply personal. She had been cleaning out a supply closet when she found some old Heifer collection boxes, which recalled to her the time that her mother, at age 85, had against all odds raised enough money in a small Connecticut town to

buy a gift arc — an achievement that so impressed one town resident that he bought a second arc. When Lapointe asked Pastor Scott Tyler how the children might help this Christmas, he suggested a mission project that would teach them the gift of giving. “He named several organizations but when he said that someone in the church had taken on the Heifer International project 15 years ago, a light went off for me,” Lapointe said. She had lost her mother in June, so along with being a worthy project, it seemed a way to pay tribute to her memory. “Heifer was near and dear to her heart, after she heard the authors of the book ‘Beatrice’s Goat’ read and give a presentation at her church,” Lapointe said. “I knew it was a project I felt strongly about, and yet I wanted my church school children to select this project for themselves.” “Beatrice’s Goat” is children’s story book based on the true account of Beatrice Biira, an impoverished Ugandan girl whose life is transformed by the gift of a goat from Heifer International. Along with food, the animal produced enough income for Beatrice to obtain an education — which is not free in many developing nations. Lapointe said her class immediately warmed to the project. “The children responded quite well to the concept, and they’ve been very excited about it,” she said. “They’re not just sending them money, because that would be gone very quickly.” It is also an opportunity to teach that, while there is need locally, there are people who need help around the world. And, of course, animals are always apt to get a kid’s attention,

along with the idea that the animals would keep on giving. “The families agree to give away the first female offspring to someone else in their village and then they do the same so the gift keeps on growing — paying it forward,” Lapointe said. “The children liked this idea and to date have raised $1,200.” The class has been collecting change at a few settings already, including an election day dinner and church fair, and has been going door to door, along with hosting a coffee hour and presentation following church services. Those who wish to contribute can purchase and entire animal such as a pig, goat, lamb, llama, heifer, fish, beehive, chickens or they can buy a partial share. Some groups and organizations are pooling their donations together to buy a particular animal. Other people are just adding it to the general fund and the children will decide what animals need to be purchased to fill the ark. The class will be collecting at Lakeside Church on Montcalm Street on Friday, Nov. 30, during the Chamber of Commerce Holiday Shopping and Dining Night that’s happening in Ticonderoga from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Those wishing to contribute can make out a check to Heifer International and send it to the First United Methodist Church at 1045 Wicker St. in Ticonderoga, 12883. ■

Defense keeps Vikings in state title game until late

Jerin Sargent hauled in this touchdown catch after a deflection to give the Vikings their lone score of the game. By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

SYRACUSE | The Moriah Vikings put forward one of their strongest defensive performances of the season when they needed it the most, in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Class D state title game Nov. 23. Holding the Clymer/Sherman/Panama (CSP) Wolfpack to seven points over three quarters, the Vikings were unable to find the endzone, however, as CSP pulled away late for a 26-6 victory. “It’s been a solid team effort all season on defense,” said head coach Don Tesar. “The middle four of Mike (Rollins), Myles (Madill), Alex (Larrow) and Jon Gonzalez have been great. Myles is an under-rated guy on that line, he’s a tough kid that just comes in and makes play.” Rollins was named the top defensive lineman of the game, while Larrow earned top offensive lineman.

Braden Swan had a solid second half for the Vikings in the Class D state championship game, rushing for 37 yards and adding 36 yards receiving, along with a first half interception on defense.

“It was the most important part of the team in the playoffs because we were struggling on offense,” said Rollins about the defense. “Going into next year, we are going to put it on the young guys because now we know what it takes to get here and what it is like to lose on this level,” Rollins also created one of three turnovers in the game for the Vikings, jarring the ball out of the hands of a CSP back for a fumble which was recovered by Sam Gangi. “I didn’t know the ball was gone, I just saw Sam pick it up and start running,” Rollins said. After CSP scored early in the second quarter for a 7-0 lead, Moriah had perhaps its best chance to level the score in the third, coming off a defensive stop where Mike Cypher recorded a pair of sacks and Larrow a tackle for loss, moving CSP back from the Moriah 14 to the 35. The Vikings took over on their own 20, and traveled into the redzone before penalties and sacks ended the 10-play drive. “They were coming off the corners and were sending more than what we could

touchdown grab on fourth down. “This year was great,” said Sargent. “To start out 0-2 and nobody dropped their heads, picked it up and started to win football games to get us here to the Dome.” “It’s been phenomenal,” said Dyllon Bougor, who rushed for 37 yards. “We have had the up-most ups and the down-most downs. We gave up 40 points at our lowest and then went out and scored 40 against our rival the next week. It was the greatest experience. It was everything you were told it would be like when you show up here and more.” Braden Swan added 73 yards of offense for the Vikings along with an interception on defense. “Braden came in and ran the ball hard,” Tesar said. “We have not been able to use him as a back as much as we would have liked, but Dyllon got dinged in the third quarter, and Braden provided a spark.” The Vikings finished the season at 9-3, having lost the first two games of the season before scoring nine straight wins to get to the state title game. ■

block and rely on getting pressure on Jeff (Strieble) before we could get open,” Tesar said. “When we would get the ball in close, they made plays.” On the ensuing CSP drive, the Wolfpack was able to convert a third down before facing a fourth-and-19, scoring on a hookand-ladder play which was ran to perfection, propelling CSP to a 19-point fourth quarter. “It definitely hurt us,” said Jerin Sargent, who had an interception in the game and 36 yards of offense. “We had been working on covering that all week in practice but we did not hit our right spots. They are a great football team and it was hard to stop them.” “That was a big turning point in the game,” Tesar said. “We still had time if we put something together and score. The score of the game didn’t indicate the type of the game we played. That was two very good defensive teams, and there was a lot of hard hitting out there.” The Vikings were able to get onto the scoreboard as Sargent hauled in a one-handed

Moriah sweeps Alzheimer’s Tournament By Keith Lobdell SPORTS EDITOR

PORT HENRY | For members of the Moriah varsity boys basketball program, it was an eventful 72 hours. On Nov. 23, they played in the Class D state championship game, returning home late in the evening. The following day, several members of that team took to the court as members of the Vikings basketball team, scoring a pair of wins over the weekend to claim the Judy’s Eighth Annual Alzheimer’s Awareness Tournament Nov. 24-25, coming off the girls varsity team winning their version of the tournament Nov. 19-20. In the championship game, the Vikings rekindled the rivalry with Ticonderoga in the first of what could be four meetings this season, outscoring the Sentinels 34-18 in the second half for a 65-55 win. Braden Swan had 24 points in the win, while Maddox Blaise added 14, Jerin Sargent 12, Mike Rollins 9 and Jeff Strieble 6, each of who were less than 48 hours removed from playing for a football state title. The win kept the Vikings Section VII win streak alive at 41 games. For the Sentinels, Colton Huestis capped a huge weekend with 42 points after having scored 44 in the Sentinels tournament-opening victory over AuSable Valley, 77-49. Michael DuShane scored 9 points against Moriah, while Jack Grinnell scored 11 against the Patriots. The Plattsburgh High Hornets were defeated by the Vikings in the opening round, 48-46, as Phillips scored 12 points and Pombrio added 9. Rollins led the Vikings with 19 points, while Swan added 11. Sargent and Blaise each scored 8 points in the win.

Judy’s Eighth Annual Alzheimer’s Awareness Tournament was held last weekend at Moriah Central School. The annual event to raise money for scholarships for graduating seniors honored two late residents: Boomer Sprague and John Russo, both of whom passed away earlier this year.

Anthony P. Reale Jr.

TICONDEROGA | Anthony P. (Tony) Reale Jr., 90, passed away Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018 at his home on Black Point Road. He was born in Middletown on June 11, 1928, the son of Antonio P. Reale Sr. and Antonietta Maria (Monforte) Reale. He grew up in Ticonderoga and graduated from Ticonderoga High School in 1945. Following a stint in the United States Army from 1945-1947 which included a duty tour in post-war Italy, Tony graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy in 1951 with a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering. Tony founded the Reale Construction Company in Ticonderoga, serving as the company’s president from 1956 until his death, a company which has completed many notable road and bridge projects throughout the North Country. A pillar of the Ticonderoga community, Tony served on the Ticonderoga School Board during the 1960s, on the Clinton/Essex BOCES (Boards of Cooperative Educational Services) Board for 15 years during the 1960s and 1970s, including a term as president. He also served on boards for Moses Ludington Hospital, the Ticonderoga Community Building and the Ticonderoga Historical Society. He was a long-time member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the American

Legion and the Knights of Columbus. Tony’s leadership through his vocation helped spearhead the construction of the town’s two little league fields near the La Chute River, the nature trail behind Ticonderoga Middle School and the renovations of Carillion Park and historic Frazier Bridge.
