Chorale to celebrate

American Song

By Fred [email protected]

TICONDEROGA The Champlain Valley Chorale s spring concert will be A Cel-ebration of American Song.

Music of the late singers Etta James and Andy Williams along with composers Stephen Sondheim and Marvin Ham-lisch will be featured.

America lost a number of outstanding musicians in 2012, and I was inspired to rec-ognize them when choosing pieces for this session, Jeris French, chorale director, said.

The Champlain Valley Cho-rale will perform at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Schroon Lake on Friday, May 31, at 7:30 p.m. and at the First United Methodist Church in Ticond-eroga on Sunday, June 2, at 3 p.m.

A free will offering will be taken, a portion of which will be donated to the North Coun-try Humane Society in keep-ing with the chorale s commit-ment to serve the needs of the community, French said.

Vaughn Watson will be the accompanist. The Champlain Valley Strings will provide a musical interlude and accom-pany the chorale on its open-ing number.

Cheney Mountain hike set June 1MINEVILLE The second annual Mineville Iron

Ore Man Challenge hopes to build on last year s suc-cess while attracting attention to the community s newest hiking trail.

Sponsored by the Moriah Chamber of Commerce, the event is a hike up the Cheney Mountain Trail

Saturday, June 1. Registration will be 8:45 a.m. at the trail head on Pelfershire Road, 1.4 miles east of Route 22/9N. Registration is $5. The hike will begin at 9 a.m.

L ast year we had 45 people turn out in the pouring rain, Tim Garrison of the chamber said. W e had a lot of fun. It was great.

The fi rst 80 people will receive a 2013 hiking patch.The Cheney Mountain Trail opened in the fall of

2011 and has become a popular hiking trail. Garri-son said more than 750 people from across the United States and from three countries have registered at the base of the trail. He estimates more than 1,500 people

have used it.The trail is about two miles round-trip with a mod-

erately-easy climb to the summit.Champlain Area Trails volunteers constructed the

Cheney Mountain Trail on town property that was once the site of a landfi ll.

Tenant applications to be accepted beginning June 1By Fred [email protected]

TICONDEROGA Construction of the Moses Circle Senior Apartments in Ticonderoga is on schedule and the complex is expected to open in September.

Everything is going very well, Patricia Deguire-Lapishka, the property manager, said. The mild winter really helped us and we re ready to starting taking applications. We anticipate opening Sept. 1.

Senior citizens interested in living in the new facility, located at the site of the former Moses-Ludington Hospital on Wicker Street, can submit applications beginning June 1. Applications will be available at the Lord Howe Estate office.

Rent at the new complex will be determined by income. De-guire-Lapishka urged people with interest to call Debbie Bes-sette, office manager, at 585-6696 to determine their eligibility and rent.

There are several factors that will be taken into account, Deguire-Lapishka said. I would encourage everyone who may be interested to fill out an application.

Should applications exceed the number of apartments, a lot-

tery will determine who gets space.

Moses Circle Senior Apart-ments includes 31 private apartments, each with about 570 square feet, a kitchen, liv-ing room, bedroom, full bath, storage space, air condition-ing and internet availability. It will be an independent-living facility with four handicap-accessible units. All units are non-smoking.

The building also has an ele-vator, a laundry room, a fitness center, a library/media room and a community room with a kitchen.

Included in the rent will be heat and parking.

I can tell you the view out of every window is breathtak-ing, Deguire-Lapishka said. I can t imagine anyone could be unhappy looking out those windows.

The front of the building looks down Montcalm Street. The rear has views of the Lord Howe Valley and Chilson.

Moses Circle Senior Apartments is owned by Liberty Afford-able Housing and managed by CRM Rental Management, the same group that operates the adjacent Lord Howe Estates.

The senior housing project actually started in 2007, but fund-ing issues delayed its start. Then plans to rehabilitate the old hospital building into apartments proved infeasible. The old hospital was torn down and the new building was erected in its foot print. The new facility is being made to retain the look of the old hospital.

We would have preferred to restore the existing building, but there were unforeseen issues, Deguire-Lapishka said. The bright side is that we have a beautiful new, green, energy-effi-cient and sustainable building for a long time to come.

Deguire-Lapishka said she and Bessette and will visit area senior citizen centers in coming weeks to present a 3-D model of the new apartment complex and answer questions. Anyone interested in a presentation can call Bessette at 585-6696.

This will be an absolutely beautiful addition to the town, Deguire-Lapishka said. This will be a place for people to enjoy life with no worries.

All maintenance, snow removal, landscaping and trash collec-tion will be included in the rent.

Residents will be responsible for their own electric, cable tele-vision and phone bills. Electric bills are estimated to be less than $50 a month.

Deguire-Lapishka expects the demand for Moses Circle Senior Apartments to be high. A similar property in New York Mills, she said, had 200 applications for 40 apartments.

Ti senior housing project on schedule

Debbie Bessette, left, office manager, and Bonnie Barnhart, maintenance superintendent, look over plans in the new Moses Circle Senior Apartments. Applications to live in the complexs 31 units will be available June 1. It is scheduled to open Sept. 1.


The Downtown Gallery and Studio 117 will be the home for the Ticonderoga High School art show through June. Senior Shelby Fernandez curated the show as her senior project. Over 60 art-ists are represented in the show. The gallery was started by the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance and is open Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Times of Ti Editorial

Memorial Day will be observed through-out the North Coun-try, but this weekend belongs to the community of Crown Point. For 145 years it has been mark-ing the occasion, every year since the end of the Civil War, each year a little bigger and bet-ter.

It may be the longest continu-ous Memorial Day event in the nation.

That s the way it should be since Crown Point men played a prominent role in the founding of the Memorial Day holiday.

Originally known as Decora-tion Day, Memorial Day began in the south after the Civil War. In-spired by the bravery displayed in the battle of Gettysburg, the bloodiest fight in American his-tory with nearly 55,000 causali-ties, southerners began to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers as a sign of respect and appreciation.

The custom quickly spread to the north, where people were just as impressed with the gallantry shown at Gettysburg and throughout the Civil War. New York became the first state to officially recognize Memorial Day in 1873.

Crown Point can and should take pride in its own contributions to freedom. Men from Crown Point were at Gettysburg a monument stands to their unit there. More than 100 men from Crown Point, an amazing number from a community of its size, formed Company H of the 5th New York Cavalry under the command of John Hammond (A monument to Hammond stands in Crown Point s Forrestdale Cemetery.). The unit distinguished itself throughout the Civil War.

Crown Point men also fought in Adirondack Regiment, 118th N.Y., seeing action in many of the Civil War s bloodiest battles.

And those brave souls weren t alone. Crown Point has contributed to each and every American conflict, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice.

This years Memorial Day celebration will be held May 26 and 27.Crown Points festivities will include an ecumenical church service, a parade, fireworks, amuse-

ment rides, entertainment and vendors. But it s important to note the community understands the significance of Memorial Day. Each years observance is built around the towns traditional solemn cemetery tour.

The tour includes stops at each of the community s cemeteries, where Boy Scouts present the colors, Taps is played, the school chorus sings and a speaker notes the importance of the place and people buried there. The tour concludes at the Veterans Monument in the town park at noon.

This years Memorial Day in Crown Point carries added significance. Crown Point is celebrating the 225th year of its founding.

Congratulations to Crown Point for 225 years of history and for 145 years of reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Denton Editorial Board

Crown Point sets Memorial Day example Is it just that the lure of a second presidential term is so unlike any-thing else that administrations

will do anything to secure it? The Nixon Administration in 1972, had the election all but sewn up. Breaking into the Democratic National Commit-tee office was more than dumb and the coverup that followed was far worse than the bun-gled break-in.

There is no evidence, as of yet, that any of these scandals will lead completely back to the Oval Office but the comparisons to Nixon are inevitable. The president has suddenly found himself dealing with several scandals all at once, including the fallout from the Benghazi terror attack, the Justice Depart-ment s seizing of phone records from the Associated Press and the Internal Revenue Service s policy of singling out Tea Party and other groups for scrutiny.

Many have drawn comparisons to the Nixon White House when looking at the blossoming scandals arising currently. While President Nixon did, indeed, use the IRS to target political enemies, his motives remain unclear. It has been assumed it was to avenge friends and supporters who had been target-ed by the IRS under prior administrations.

While President Obama has called the IRS targeting of conservative organizations out-rageous, and late Wednesday announced the resignation of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller, who was previously required to leave the office in a few weeks regardless of the president s actions, investigations are just now getting under way. The sad reality is like Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and Bush, it seems second terms somehow get bogged down with defending missteps and allegations of wrongdoings.

Defending the actions of an over confi-dent White House has consumed previous administrations and now the Obama White House will need to defend its actions. If we ve learned anything from the past, we can be assured these investigations won t go away anytime soon as they become po-litical footballs that will likely be discussed for the balance of Obama s term. A CNN/ORC poll found that 54 percent of Americans don t believe that Congress is overreacting

to the IRS scrutiny of con-servative groups. By an even larger margin, 59 percent said Congress is making the right moves on the administra-tion s actions regarding the Benghazi terror attack. That s all the motivation both sides need to get the press corps re-energized to begin actively pursuing conspiracy theories and cover ups.

The poll became public, and the battle lines continue to be drawn as White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer

made the rounds of last Sunday s talk shows, defending President Obama.

Here s the cardinal rule for all White Houses, Pfeiffer said, you do not interfere in an independent investigation, and you do not do anything to give off the appearance of interference in an independent investiga-tion.

Conversely, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said the White House might not have commanded Internal Revenue agents to target conservative groups, but a culture of intimidation throughout the administra-tion made them think it was acceptable. The president of The Associated Press says the government s seizure of AP journalists phone records was unconstitutional and already has had a chilling effect on news gathering. Gary Pruitt, speaking on CBS Face the Nation, said the Justice Depart-ment s secret subpoena of reporters phone records has made sources less willing to talk to AP journalists.

Let s have a president serve one, six-year term, be totally focused on the job at hand, and remove the time lost traveling around the nation for 18 months campaigning for the right to validate the first term with a second term.

Simply put, the power of the presidency, the desire to retain that power and the legacy of not being reelected creates far too great an opportunity to see overzealous subordinates cross the line and create scandals that dis

Baby bottle syndromeTo the Times of Ti:

As a dental hygienist who has worked in general practice for over 30 years, I sometimes take for granted the fact that dental hygiene education is always provided for patients at their regu-lar checkups.

In the past year, I have seen many young mothers as patients who become very upset to learn that their now 1 or 2 year old children have front teeth that are decayed and sometimes need to be removed.

They are further dismayed to learn that this condition could have easily been prevented by not giving milk bottles at bed-time. Milk, though a great source of protein, is also a source of lactose, a sugar.

When the baby sleeps with the milk in its mouth all night, the sugar acts to create decay as it pools around baby s front teeth.

We call this Baby Bottle Syndrome.I ve been very surprised to learn that these young mothers

were not warned of this condition by their pediatricians.Further, babies should not go to sleep with any sweetened liq-

uid, including juice. A little prevention soon saves a lot of decay later.

Leave fi rewood at homeTo the Times of Ti:

The Emerald Ash Borer is spreading vigorously and it is get-ting closer to Vermont. We want to save the ash trees because they are useful in many ways. First of all, the ash tree was one of the fi rst trees in Vermont. As a matter of fact, the Abenaki Indian tribe believed they were created from the ash tree and people continue to make ash baskets today. Next ash trees are a good source of lumber, provide food and habitat for animals, make forests diverse, and they will live long, even through fl oods.

The Emerald Ash Borer usually travels by fi rewood. This in-sect, which is small and emerald green makes a D-shaped hole in ash trees. Please keep your eye out for a D-shaped hole in ash trees. If you suspect an Emerald Ash Borer, please contact 1-866-322-4512 or for more information check: www.emeraldashborer.info. It only takes one person to bring the Emerald Ash Borer to Vermont so please do not bring fi rewood to our state!

Unseen by manyTo the Times of Ti:

Last weeks paid rebuttal article needs to be viewed!In addition to Lois Gunning s letter to the editor, the full page

article which represents a paid rebuttal to the Times of Ti article Ti board kills zoning needs to be carefully read.

This rebuttal article praises our town board for their allowing government for the people and by the people to take place as well as addresses many of the criticisms of this process by Jim Majors and Supervisor (Deb) Malaney.

Albert PowvorznikTiconderoga

Ti board thankedTo the Times of Ti:

The (Ticonderoga) town board was criticized at their May meeting for following something that our forefathers fought and died for, namely democracy! Government is to be established by the people and for the people.

Has anyone ever heard the quote by the planning board for the planning board or by the APA and for the APA ? Some-where, I must have missed that in my American government class!

Has anyone stopped to realize all the rights that have already been taken away from the people that bought their land with their hard earned money? Add to that, these people have paid taxes on those properties for years. Now, some of our planning board members are suggesting our town board backtrack on their commitment to the people and revisit a recently rejected more restrictive layer of regulations.

What is wrong with someone having a small business, as long as they do not infringe on their neighbors? It seems that our planning board members are advocating a form of dictatorship by asking our town board to ignore the people! Please leave the people with what little landowner rights they have left!

I believe we should hold the town board in the highest regards for allowing democracy to prevail the way that our nation s fore-fathers intended. The people have spoken and there is absolutely no reason to revisit this dead issue!

Some of the planning board members called the people that came to the last board meeting a mob! Many of those people will take issue with this reference. These residents voiced their opin-ion on the proposed zoning regulations and had every right to do so. No one was threatened, called names or bullied. Each person waited their scheduled turn to speak, with very few interrup-tions. There was some spontaneous applause which is normal.

Thank you Ticonderoga town board for allowing democracy to work, listening to the people and rejecting the proposed zon-ing plan!

FD to mark Memorial DayTo the Times of Ti:

As is usual the Hague Fire Department will make a big pres-ence in the annual Hague Memorial Weekend celebration by participating in the parade and memorial services to follow at the town park and this followed by our usual chicken barbecue at our pavilion off Rte. 8. We will also aid in providing a safe environment for the community through the weekend.

In April we held an open house to celebrate National Fire Safe-ty Week, and if you didn t make it you missed a free car wash, free massage and a free lunch.

We introduced a new member S.J. Santaniello in April and he already has completed his emergency vehicle operation course. We do still continue to look to recruit new members, especially as drivers. Our fi re/rescue boat is now in the water and ready for duty.

We continue to request that all residences have their house numbers plainly displayed so that they can be seen from both directions.

Have a safe start to the summer season.

ThankfulTo the Times of Ti:

The board of directors and staff of the United Way of the Ad-irondack Region, Inc., SUNY Plattsburgh Project H.E.L.P and the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau would like to take this oppor-tunity to say thank you to the 561 volunteers and all those who donated over 1,250 food items on the Day of Caring. At one point we had more projects than volunteers to complete them so a spe-cial thanks go out to those volunteers who stepped-up on the day so every project could be completed.

This year there were over 75 projects completed through-out Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties with volunteers logging over 1350 hours in one day. The communities willingness to get in-volved and to assist with these projects was instrumental to the overall success.

It is the opportunity to work with community minded people like all the volunteers that makes our work at the United Way so enjoyable. Local people working to help local people..T hat s the United Way.

Roundtable a successThe Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce

recently held a Business Roundtable with Chief Mark Johns from the Ticonderoga Police De-partment. While it was a small group I truly feel that the relationship between the chamber, the business community and the Ticonderoga Po-lice Department is being strengthened.

Businesses and com-munity members need to feel comfortable com-municating openly with the police department on a regular basis. Chief Johns shared that this will allow the police de-partment to serve Ticonderoga more effectively. The busi-ness roundtable was an opportunity for Ticonderoga busi-nesses and organizations to meet with Chief Mark Johns. Participants were able to discuss concerns, issues, ideas and positive initiatives we can work together on.

The business community is also encouraged to work di-rectly together and share information. The business com-munity should discuss common issues and concerns and share them with the chamber and the police department on a regular basis. We are looking at hosting a yearly roundta-ble with the police department to encourage and promote a positive relationship and ongoing communication between the business community and the Ticonderoga Police De-partment. Discussions were held on vandalism, theft, drug and substance abuse as well as other key areas of concerns.

Chief Johns shared with us the proactive initiatives they are working on including cameras that have been placed in downtown Ticonderoga and plans to add additional. The Ticonderoga Police Department is also working closely with Ticonderoga schools on emergency plans and the Es-sex County Drug Task Force. The police department and Chief Johns are also looking at a variety of new initiatives to better serve the Ticonderoga area.

Something I learned that can truly be benefi cial to both businesses and residents within the community is the Safe Home/Business Submission. Business owners and resi-dents can call the police department or fi ll out an online form on their website www.ticonderogapolice.org. This will inform the department that you will be out of town, the length of time you will be gone and the contact infor-mation to reach you. Lists of these submissions are kept at the police department so only the offi cers can view them. This will allow them to monitor these locations more close-ly when time allows and in the event of an emergency the police will be able to contact you directly.

One of the issues Chief Johns shared is the lack of follow up from the department to complaints and concerns. Johns shared that this is an area he and his offi cers are working to improve to better serve the business community, residents and the town as a whole.

I asked Chief Johns if there were tips to assist in keeping your business or home safe. I wanted to share a few of them with you. A full list of crime prevention tips is available at the Chamber offi ce or from the Police Department.

/LJ KW LW XS NHHS DOO DUHDV XVHG E\ SDWURQV Z HOO OLJ KWed to deter criminal activity. Keep your front windows and entrance ways lights on at night. Direct lighting on focused or vulnerable areas if possible. Not only will this assist in keeping your business or home safe but will create a wel-coming atmosphere for visitors and community members when traveling through the area.

2. Greet people who enter your business. Personal con-tact can deter crimes and provide good customer service. Encourage employees to greet customers as they enter. One phrase shoplifters hate to hear and customers love to hear is How can I help you?

3. Share crime prevention tips with patrons. Post them in your store as well. Share concerns with fellow business community members and work together.

4. Develop a store policy and provide training for shop-lifting incidents.

5. Use the three concepts of crime prevention through environmental design to deter criminals interest. These are natural surveillance, natural access control and territorial reinforcement. Deter vandalism and show pride in your community. Keep bushes and shrubs trimmed so that you can easily see trouble and use thorny plants and vines in certain areas.

Look for dates and details to be announced on upcom-ing roundtables, seminars, ribbon cuttings/grand opening celebrations, events and much more.

In acknowledgement and deep appreciation for all the staff of the

Moses Ludington Adult Care and Heritage Commons Residential Healthcare Facilities.

The families of Dorothy A. Hess want to publicly express the excellent care that was shown to my Mother during her six month stay at the Adult Care Facility. Under the direc-

tion of Maria and her staff, Mother, not only was loved, but had a wonderful time and was able to meet new friends. The high light of her stay was to enjoy her 96th Birthday

and her daily favorite desert, Chocolate Ice Cream.

Having to move to the Nursing Home Facility, during the last month of her life, she received excellent

care and love from Kristen, Heidi and Diana and all the dedicated staff.

Words alone can not express our heartfelt thanks for all of Mothers care and to the staff that we can call

our family. Again, Thank You Very Very Much.

God Bless you all!!

Belva Blood looks forward to futureBy Fred [email protected]

TICONDEROGA Belva Blood will celebrate her 90th birth-day May 31, but the Ticonderoga woman isn t about to concede to age.

The best thing about turning 90 is that I m still able to do pretty much everything, Belva said. I mow my own lawn, drive. I can even run up and down stairs.

She also enjoys baking pies and donuts. She spends a lot of time going to church and helping there. She recently started bowling with a church group.

Belva is the fifth of six children. Her four older brothers are deceased, but her younger sister Myrtle age 87 is alive. Her husband, Dan, died at age 62.

Belva has three children Bonnie, Bill and Betsy and eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Other than childbirth, Belva has never been in a hospital and boasts of perfect health.

The worst thing is wondering how many more decades can you go on, but there s nothing really bad about living so long, she said. Sometimes I forget names, but Ill remember them five minutes later. That s more to do with having so many memories; Im filled up with memories.

Her future plans are to keep living each day and continuing the things she loves.

Belva worked 35 seasons at Fort Ticonderoga, working until she was 87 years old. She had several different jobs at the fort, one of them cooking for Mr. & Mrs. Pell at the pavilion.

They were really nice people, Belva recalled.Belva grew up in Hartford, N.Y., and Orwell, Vt. She eventu-

ally attended Ticonderoga High School while living in Orwell, rowing a boat across Lake Champlain to get to and from classes.

She met her husband, Dan Blood, in Ticonderoga. They mar-ried during World War II, which started while she was finishing school. Bonnie was born during the war while Dan was in the military. When he got out of the service he became a mason and the family settled in Ticonderoga. In 1947 they bought the house where Belva still lives to this day.

Pictured at right: Belva Blood will celebrate her 90th birthday May 31, but the Ticonderoga woman isnt about to concede to age.

Many new horticultural tours will be offered this year which highlight Fort Ticonderoga s thriving horticulture program and give insight into the re-creation of an historic garden that spans centuries and features the heirloom and modern varieties of plants and flowers that are displayed alongside each other, said Beth Hill, president and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga.

Guest will roll up their sleeves and dig into Fort Ticondero-ga s centuries of horticulture in the formal garden along with the Discovery Gardens - the Garrison Garden, Children s Gar-den and Three Sisters Garden, said Heidi Karkoski, director of Horticulture.

Changes create Graces Mattress Kingdom, Mountain Time The Peoples Place

TICONDEROGA The former Mountain Time Furniture has splintered into a pair of new ventures in Ticonderoga.

The furniture store and auction house, with locations in Ticonderoga and Port Henry, has undergone major changes. The result is the closing of the Port Henry auction and two new stores in Ticonderoga Grace s Mattress King-dom and Mountain Time The People s Place.

We want to be the anchors of downtown Ti-conderoga, said Rick Harker, who owns and operates the businesses with his wife, Michelle. The biggest advantage of what we re doing is that we have diversified and now offer many more items and activities to attract people. We want people to visit us and then go to Two Brothers (Meat Market), George s Adirondack Furniture, the Burleigh Luncheonette and other businesses downtown.

Harker said 75 percent of his business in-volved mattresses, box springs and beds. So he decided to open Grace s Mattress Kingdom at 89 Montcalm St. It s open Monday through Fri-day 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It can be reached at 585-6089.

The store is named for the couple s daughter, Grace, age 8, who they maintain is the queen of the family.

We decided it was time to put our daughter to work as the youngest business owner in the Adirondacks, Harker said.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Com-merce will host a ribbon cutting on Monday, June 3, at 10 a.m. at Grace s Mattress Kingdom as part of its grand opening celebration. The ribbon cutting will be followed by a reception with light refreshments. The grand opening cel-ebration will Be June 3-8.

We invite and encourage you to join the chamber, the town of Ticonderoga as well as other area organizations and community mem-bers as we celebrate with and support Grace s Mattress Kingdom, said Matthew Courtright, hamber executive director. Rick and Michelle Harker are and have been dedicated business owners in the Ticonderoga area. We hope you will join them and the chamber at the ribbon cutting. Please show your support of a family who truly cares about Ticonderoga.

Grace has set prices so low, the store may be forced out of business, her father joked.

Mountain Time The People s Place is lo-cated at 105 Montcalm St., the same location as the former furniture store. It offers used furniture and can order new furniture through catalogues for customers. It also purchases used furniture. The store is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday and can be reached at 585-6795.

The merchandise at both stores is American-made and carries full warranties, Harker point-ed out.

Mountain Time The People s Place is much more than a furniture store, though. It is now an auction house, handling consignment and estate auctions. Its first auction attracted 120 people. The storefront also maintains a table of free items.

We thought that would be fun, Harker said of the free table. Hopefully it attracts some people and they find something they like like David Cassidy albums from four decades ago.

And there s more. Mountain Time The Peo-ple s Place is also home to the Ticonderoga Assembly of God Church food distribution pro-gram. People in need are welcome to stop by the store for a free bag of groceries.

Anytime the store is open people can stop and get free groceries, Harker said. People can get one bag a week. It s just something

to help them get through a week. The only re-quirement is that they have a need.

Harker also plans to host coffeehouses with Christian entertainment in the auction area.

The idea is to create traffic in downtown Ti-

conderoga and promote local businesses, Hark-er said.

I want to encourage people to shop locally, he said. Nothing is more important to the sur-vival of the town than shopping locally.

TICONDEROGA The Ticonderoga Chamber of Commerce is inviting the public to its annual dinner and auction.

The 11th annual event will be Friday, June 14, at the Silver Bay

YMCAs Gullen Lounge. Appetizers will be served at 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m. The silent auction, live auction and dancing will follow.

We extend an invitation to join us for the 2013 TACC annual fundraiser dinner and auction to support the chamber, said Matthew Courtright, chamber executive director. The event will include a silent auction, live auction, music and a wonderful atmosphere with a fantastic menu created by Silver Bay and the committee.

Last year was a great success and with your support this year it will be just as good if not even better, he said. Enjoy the eve-ning overlooking majestic Lake George from the covered porch and Victorian lounge while you browse the many auction items, connect and mingle with other guests as well as the chamber staff, board members, ambassadors and volunteers.

Reservations can be made by calling the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce office at 585-6619 or Emailing [email protected]. Tickets are $50 a person and include appetizers, buffet, beer, wine, dessert and gratuity.

Bob Dedrick, former Ticonderoga supervisor and teacher, will serve as auctioneer, assisted by chamber representatives.

We are excited to have Bob join us for this event to benefit the chamber, Courtright said. He is a true advocate for the Ticonderoga area and the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Com-merce. Bob was recognized in 2012 as the Volunteer of the Year at the chamber s annual volunteer appreciation dinner and was the Best Fourth in the North grand marshal during the parade. I can not think of a better community member to assist us at our dinner and auction.

The goal for this year is to have the annual fundraiser dinner and auction be the TACC premier fundraising event supporting the ongoing efforts of the chamber, Courtright said.

To that end, the chamber is seeking sponsors for the event. Diamond sponsors will be those who contribute $750, platinum sponsors will contribute $500, gold $250, silver $125 and bronze less than $125.

All donations must be received by June 7. Donations can be mailed or dropped off at the chamber office during normal busi-ness hours. Arrangements can also be made to have contribu-tions picked up.

All sponsors will receive recognition for their level of con-tribution, support, and dedication during the evening in a va-riety of ways as well as through press releases, a full page ad in the Times of Ti after the event and additional promotion in

our chamber communications throughout the year as well as on radio announcements based on your sponsorship level, Cour-tright said.

With the continued dedication and support of Ticonderoga area businesses, organizations, our partners and the community as a whole, the chamber is able to serve, market, and promote the Ticonderoga area, including Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Hague, Moriah and Putnam, he said.

The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce plans and hosts free community events, events that draw area visitors, assists area organizations with their events and projects, provides small business support and resources and business referrals, answers community and visitor questions and requests via phone, Email and mail, sends visitor area information upon request, keeps an online calendar of events, as well as an array of benefits for its members.

Fort Ti to mark Memorial DayTICONDEROGA Fort Ticonderoga will observe Me-

morial Day on Monday, May 27. See Fort Ticonderoga at the beginning of the American

Revolution in 1775; a hive of activity as citizens turned sol-diers take up pick and ax, hammer and saw to rebuild this old French Fort from the French and Indian war, said Stu-art Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga s director of interpretation. All day long watch these new soldiers in the Continental Army ply their civilian trades to help build this military outpost. See horse power in action as lumber, firewood, and military stores move in and out of Fort Ticonderoga, and hear the report of gunpowder as soldiers test cannon barrels and practice their gunnery.

The fort will open at 9:30 a.m. There will be guided tours at 10:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. There will be a Salute to Soldiers at 11 a.m.

In this hour-long presentation enjoy fife and drum mu-sic, both patriotic and 18th century tunes, said Beth Hill, fort president and CEO. Hear the roar of musketry as Fort Ticonderoga salutes the sacrifice of soldiers who fought both at Ticonderoga and around the world for the United States. Hear the words of the soldiers of the American Revo-lution as they described their reasons for serving in the birth of this nation.

There will be garden and grounds tours at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. along with a cannon demonstration at 2 p.m.

Money needed for 2013 July 4th celebration


TICONDEROGA Ticonderoga s Best Fourth in the North committee is seeking assistance.

The committee is in need of dona-tions and sponsorships to support this summer s celebration, which will be held July 1 - 4.

Without the support of our area businesses, organizations and com-munity members the celebration would not be possible, said Debbie Barber, committee chairwoman. The Best Fourth in the North celebration costs between $25 - $30,000 each year. The town of Ticonderoga does pro-vide some funding, but most of the money needed is raised by the com-mittee.

All sponsorships must be received by Monday, June 3, to be included on T-shirts, banners and schedules.

Donations in support of the com-mittee s efforts are tax-deductible, Barber added. We encourage com-munity members and visitors to stay up to date on the celebration as well as fundraisers by liking the Best Fourth in the North on Facebook.

Barber hopes Ti businesses and or-ganizations will become sponsors.

Anyone who contributes $500 or more will be deemed a Freedom sponsor. They will be listed as spon-sor on all celebration schedules, in press releases, on radio announce-ments, have a large logo on T-shirts, have a logo on the parade banner, be included in announcements at the

fi reworks and throughout the cel-ebration as well as be named in all advertising for the Best Fourth in the North Celebration.

Those who donate $250 to $499 will be Liberty sponsors. They will be listed as a sponsor on all celebra-tion schedules, in press releases, have a logo on T-shirts, have a logo on the parade banner, be included in an-nouncements at celebration as well as be named in all advertising for the event.

Anyone who contributes $100 to $249 will be a Patriot sponsor and be listed as sponsor in press releases, have their name listed on T-shirts, have their name listed on the parade banner, and be included in announce-ments at the celebration as well as be named advertising for the celebra-tion.

Those giving less than $100 will be Sparkler sponsors. They will be a listed as sponsor in press releases and in other advertising.

Businesses and organizations that would like to become a 2013 sponsor or community members who would like to make a donation can do so by mailing a check to the Best Fourth In The North/TMSP, P.O. Box 379, Ti-conderoga 12883.

A coin drop to raise funds for the celebration will also be held on June 22 and 23, which will give communi-ty members and visitors an opportu-nity to support the celebration.

The Best Fourth in the North Cel-ebration attracts many visitors to the Ticonderoga area every year, which supports local businesses and the local economy, said Matthew Cour-tright, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce executive director. A de-tailed schedule for the 2013 celebra-tion is currently being organized by the committee and will be fi nalized

by the end of May. The 2013 Best Fourth In The North Celebration will include fi reworks, parade, live mu-sic, food, vendors, rides, games and more.

Barber said the 2013 event will be bigger and better.

We are working on adding new vendors and food options in the park as well as expanding music within the parade and the park, she said.

We encourage businesses and orga-nizations looking to participate in the parade to register early. Applications are available online or at the Ticon-deroga Area Chamber of Commerce offi ce. The theme for the parade this year is Movie Classics. In addition we are looking for local bands and musicians who would like to par-ticipate in the parade.

Students, adults make western trek By Fred [email protected]

TICONDEROGA A group of Ticonderoga students and adults made a trip through the western U.S. during the school s April break. While it was a vacation, there was little time to rest.

It was an adventure we will not soon forget, said Maria Bagneschi, who led 26 people on the educational tour of southern California, Nevada and Arizona.

The trek began with a Los Angeles tour, included the Hollywood Bowl, Madam Tussaud s Wax Museum, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Grauman s Chinese The-ater, the Hollywood Sign and the Griffith Observatory.

Easter Sunday was spent at Universal Studios. Everyone loved the studio tour, the Transformers 3D

ride and the Jurassic Park ride, Bagneschi said.The Ticonderoga crew then went to Las Vegas, where

they saw the Blue Man Group, before taking a river float trip from the base of the Hoover Dam down the Colo-rado River. They visited the Lowell Observatory and spent a full day at Grand Canyon National Park. There the group walked between four and seven miles along the south rim.

The trip concluded with a stop to see the red rocks of Sedona, Ariz., en route to the final destination of Phoe-nix.

Making the trip with Bagneschi were Michaela Baker, David Bevins, Jennee Darragh, Kaitlin Diskin, Mike Dis-kin, Naomi Forkas, Michael Graney, Jaelyn Granger, Jay Hebert, Julie Hebert, Dalton Huestis, Haley Kuhl, Lexi Moore, Eric Nielsen, Katie Palandrani, Tiffani Purkey, Dale Quesnel, Rachel Scuderi, Skyler Torrey, Ashley Trudeau, Nicole Trudeau, Shelby Turner, Michael Watts, Jesse Wilson and Josie Worley.

The cost of the trip was paid by the travelers, who held a number of fund raising events.

The group appreciates the support they received from the community for all of their fund raisers, includ-ing the car wash, softball tournament, bottle drive, can-dle sale, wreath sale and spaghetti dinner, Bagneschi said. This trip would not have been possible without the support.

Bagneschi leads a Ticonderoga group on an excur-sion every other year. Past trips have taken students and adults to England, Italy and China.
