Queensbury’s Stec has eye on Capitol Hill

By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — If the reaction is positive among upstate G.O.P. leaders, this November’s race for New York’s 20th Congressional seat could pit neighbor against neighbor, as Republican Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec is considering challenging Democratic incumbent Scott Murphy of Glens Falls.

Stec said this week he is conDan Stec ferring with his political mentors to determine whether he should run for the office.

Stec’s announcement is the first from potential challengers of Murphy, who has only held the seat since he defeated GOP Assemblyman Jim Tedisco in a special election last spring.

Stec said Jan. 22 he has begun meeting with Republican Party leaders from the 10 counties in the 20th District and that he won’t make a final decision until he has gauged their support.

And considering the traditional demographics of the district and the current mood of the American populace at large, Stec sees real potential for a fiscally conservative candidate.

“Everyone can debate how we got here — is it the current administration’s fault, or the previous administration’s fault?” Stec said. “The fact of the matter is since President Obama has been in office and Scott Murphy has been in office, we have taken on hundreds of billions of dollars — unprecedented levels of spending. And they’re now talking about increasing the Constitutional debt limit so we can borrow more, and I think people have had it on those fronts.”

In his fourth term as Queensbury Supervisor, Stec is Chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors Finance Committee.

Although he is still only mulling his candidacy, Stec is already doing his best to label Murphy as a rubber-stamp Democrat who is in lockstep with the Congressional Democratic leadership.

“Scott Murphy votes the party line and does what Nancy Pelosi tells him too,” Stec said. “He voted against health care because they had the votes and in my estimation he voted against it because they told him he could.”

But Murphy said that he voted against the House Health Care Reform plan because it would have increased the cost-burden on local businesses.

However, Stec said that Murphy was only allowed to do so by the Democratic leadership so that he wouldn’t torpedo his own re-election bid.

He noted that the recent upset victory of Republican Scott Brown in the race for the U.S. Senate seat — vacated by the death

Local citizens nursing raptor daily

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com SARATOGA SPRINGS — Nancy Kimball of Diamond Point wrapped her arms around a full-grown Bald Eagle Monday night after three other wildlife rehabilitators eased him out of a large cage and pulled a hood over his head.

The strong, proud bird of prey, with a wingspan of 7 feet, tensed up his muscles and stretched his legs out.

“I can feel him breathing,” she said as wildlife rehabilitator Cara Huffman squirted the eagle’s wounded foot with sterile water and smeared antiseptic ointment onto its foot-pads, adjacent to its sharp, lengthy talons. Huffman then injected an antibiotic into its beak.

One of the volunteers took the hood off, and Kimball took the 10.5-pound eagle, wrapped like a burrito in a towel, back toward his steel cage.

The bird flexed its muscles, apparently in an effort to get away. Kimball gently tightened her bear hug, and placed him back in the cage and shut the door.

Every day since early December this treatment routine, has been repeated.

Monday, it was conducted in the home of Cara Huffman, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator from Saratoga Springs, who’s worked at Schroon River Animal Hospital in Warrensburg for 10 years.

She’s a member of North Country Wild Care, an animal rescue group based in Lake George.

Several times recently, the Bald Eagle has been x-rayed, examined and treated in Warrensburg.

The eagle was found Dec. 6 dangling upside down from a hemlock tree, with a leg-hold small-animal trap gripping one of its legs near Sacandaga Lake in

Cara Huffman, a veterinary technician and wildlife rehabilitator (rear), who works in Warrensburg, attends to the medical needs of a Bald Eagle found after getting caught in a trap. She and about 20 other members of the Lake George North Country Wild Care organization, based in Lake George, are nursing the eagle back to health.

Hamilton County.

The man who set the trap found the bird dangling 15 or 20 feet in the air, and alerted state Department of Conservation authorities.

The bald eagle had apparently been drawn to the area of the trap by a dead beaver carcass used as bait, according to Forest Ranger Tom Eakin, who helped rescue the bird.

Wendy Hall, who operates Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation Center in Wilmington was called to help rescue the bird. With the consent of DEC, Huffman was contacted, because she has experience treating large birds of prey — including an injured Golden Eagle — and nursing them back to health.

B’,” Huffman said Monday, using her pet name for the raptor that is at this point living in her home. “A few weeks ago, I wasn’t so sure.”

Huffman said the eagle’s flesh had been scientifically analyzed to identify the germ so the ideal antibiotic could be used. She said the bird’s been attempting to peck at volunteers’ faces, and grab them with his huge, muscular feet that are the size of a man’s hand.

“He’s stronger than most other birds of prey,” she said. “We can tell he’s felling better, because he’s fighting us more and more.”

To keep him healthy, the group has been feeding him small mammals, the equivalent of a rat a day.

Winter Carnival offers new sled dog races, skydiving competition

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — This year ’s Lake George Winter Carnival will have some new attractions, along with traditional activities that have earned it popularity — plus sufficiently thick ice to make it all a success, event organizers said Tuesday.

In addition to a full slate of both family activities and vehicular sports, the Carnival offers two substantial new offerings: Radio Disney on the opening weekend, and sanctioned sled dog races on the closing weekend, Carnival treasurer Kathi Kokalas said.

“We strive to add a few new attractions and bring back as many of the traditional events as possible, so families will come back and enjoy new activities every year,” she said.

Radio Disney, aimed at youth, will include group dancing, karaoke and games for two early-afternoon hours on Feb. 6.

The sled dog races, likely to offer memorable action for both spectators and participants, are scheduled to occur Feb. 27 and 28.

These and other new attractions join the full slate of vehicular races — sports car and motorcycle ice racing — that have pleased crowds for decades. This year, Kokalas said, the motorcycle races have been expanded to include an ATV division, and they are now bear state championship status.

The many family-oriented attractions of recent years that have proven so popular, will also be back.

These include the bonfire and fireworks, snowmobile and sled-dog rides, non-competitive active games for children, and the ever-popular tavern competitions, Mardi-Gras Parade and outhouse races. The latter, providing zany entertainment for the post-college-age set, occur Saturday Feb. 6 this year.

Kathi’s spouse Ed Kokalas predicted the ice would be sufficiently thick for all the activity. Last week, it was 3 inches

Motorized racing has always thrilled crowds at Lake George Winter Carnival, and this year’s likely to be no exception, since state championship ATV and motorcycle races will be featured, as well as sports cars and modified vehicles. thick off the Shepard Park pier, and with the upcoming temperature in the teens, the ice should be at least 10” thick by Feb. 13 for the motorcycle and ATV racing, he said.

The Carnival also includes a new Skydiving Swoop Competition daily each weekend, plus the return of a long-time favorite — the sanctioned sled dog weight-pull competition — that has been absent for several years. This event is set for Feb. 20 and 21.

Also returning are tethered hot-air balloon rides, along with a balloon “walk-around” for children that want to experience one close-up. This will be set up in the parking lot of King Neptune's tavern, inside which there will be crafts and games. These activities join the pony rides at the Children’s Petting Zoo which has been very popular since it was introduced just several years ago.

mobile Association, will feature racers of the New England Sled Dog Club. This event will begin on Transfer Rd., near Exit 21, in Lake George, and will run on the South Warren Snowmobile Trail System. Registration is at Duffy’s Tavern on Friday night, February 26. Details are available on the New England Sled Dog Club’s website, at www.nesdc.org.

Albany Spin Jam will be performing on February 13 and 27. On the last weekend of the Carnival, weather depending, there will be a Balloon “Fly Off” one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset, by Sunkiss Ballooning. After the Fly Off, there will be a Moonglow, again, depending on the weather. Also new this year will be performances by Albany Spin Jam, performers who twirl flaming batons to throbbing music.

And what would Winter Carnival be without its trademark Polar Plunge, featuring dozens of brave swimmers dashing into the frigid lake — a favorite spectator event set for 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday.

Tuesday, Kokalas said she was positive that attendance at this year ’s Carnival would be robust, regardless of the economy’s uncertainty.

“Look at the record-breaking crowd we had at the New Year ’s Day Polar Plunge this year — people came out in swarms,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun, and people like to get out in the crisp ar and enjoy all the activities — Plus, we’re a one-day destination for residents of the Capital District.”

The Big Game Special:

WARRENSBURG — After a half-dozen years under one administrative team, there’s been a change of the guard at the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce.

Lynn Smith and Dennis Martinez, chamber president and vice president respectively for six years, have stepped down.

The two left office primarily because of term limits imposed by the organization’s bylaws. Smith and Martinez were directors for three consecutive three-year terms, the maximum allowed.

Taking their place are Cheryl Kenyon, president and Shawn Dempsey, first vice president. Also elected as officers were Daniel West, treasurer, Deborah Baker, second vice president; and Faith Buck, secretary.

Monday, Smith said she’d enjoyed her busy, lengthy tenure, including her supervision of the nationally-recognized World’s Largest Garage Sale.

“It was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun too,” she said. “I learned a lot about dealing with personnel issues and various personalities.”

Under her regime, the chamber expanded the office staffing to two part-timers, so it now is covered daily. Now, in inquiries for local information can be answered promptly throughout the year.

Smith also noted that during her reign, a walking map of Warrensburg was created.

Martinez said he also enjoyed his years as vice president.

“It was fulfilling to do things that help the community as a volunteer — everyone benefits,” he said.

Martinez recalled recent chamber accomplishments including landscaping the local Senior Center that houses the chamber offices, and re-establishing the Warrensburg Citizen of the Year award, which honors community volunteers. Also, holiday decorations of the town have been expanded, and the chamber made a significant donation to Richards Library’s expansion campaign, Martinez said.

Martinez’ and Smith’s tenure had its formidable challenges.

In recent years, the chamber’s income from the World’s Largest Garage Sale has dwindled as more and more vendors have moved from chamber sites to private property.

Add that to the escalating costs of promotion, trash removal and public safety, and the chamber has seen a substantial profit squeeze.

Martinez and Smith, however, were able subsequently to secure municipal and county support for the event, which annually brings

New pastors coming to local churches

T

he first United Methodist Church of Warrensburg has been without a pastor since Dawn Roberts left to go to Hudson Falls. A volunteer lay leader Linda Harrington has taken over the church’s administrative duties. Linda said this week that the parish leaders are "rethinking church" seeking to extend its influence into the community.

The church leaders have recruited an interim pastor Stephen Andrews from Hudson falls who is not a fully accredited pastor yet. Andrews has been in training for many years to become a pastor, and he is scheduled to complete his training in April.

Linda said it is almost certain he will be assigned to the Warrensburg United Methodist Church The congregation is renovating the parsonage on King St. and hopes to have it ready for the new pastor to move into.

Linda advised me that like any other faith, the church is struggling to find young people to lead their parishes. The current age of most people who become pastors is 55-plus. Andrews is 62.

The First Baptist Church of Warrensburg has also recently undergone a change of leadership. Pastor Roger Richards has left Warrensburg.

The church has a long-time communicant of the Church, Ron Burdett, filling in as Pastor. Ron told me this week he has been voted in by the congregation to be the permanent pastor. Burdett received his training in ministry from Word of Life Bible College.

Burdett has been a member of The First Baptist Church in Warrensburg for 13 years. Burdett’s formal installation should occur in the next couple of months.

Also, the two reportedly have gotten the organization of the event down to a science — a substantial accomplishment considering the size and scope of the event.

New to the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors for 2010 are Daniel West of TD Bank, Deborah Baker of Glens Falls National Bank, James DiPasquale from the Gifford-DiPasquale law firm, Shawn Dempsey of Hickory Hill Ski Center, and Todd Trulli of George Henry’s tavern. They join existing directors Faith Buck of Emerson House Bed & Breakfast, Diane Moon of Michael Moon Construction, Lucy Harris of the First Presbyterian Church, Jo Pierra from the 50-Plus Senior Citizens Club and Cheryl Kenyon of Adirondack Gold Maple Farm.

John Cleveland from Aloha Florist was also elected to the board, but he resigned soon after due to illness. Kathy Quintal from Oscar’s Smoke House, also elected a director, resigned in the past several weeks.

Kenyon said she was looking forward to leading the chamber, and she and the board planned on updating the chamber website and boosting recruitment of new members.

WCS students and graduates say VanDusen’s teaching not only prepares them for college and careers, but for life itself. WCS administrators said VanDusen’s approach and the skills of many other WCS teachers is why U.S. News & World Report named the school as one of the top in the nation, particularly for its effective outreach to children from limited-income households.

OPINION • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 5

Let’s stop tearing our town apart!

Stewart’s should expand where it is To the editor: I grew up in Warrensburg during the 1940s. The Queen Village of the Adirondacks once had majestic elms shading pillared mansions. I recall the years following WWII when local GIs returned home eager to set down roots; and businesses developed, creating employment opportunities.

Many of the larger, older homes and summer boarding houses were demolished, replaced by gas stations and carlots to accommodate the growing automobile industry.

The Warrensburgh Town Board is now considering zoning approval for Stewart’s Shops to relocate and expand their convenience store and gas pump facility on two contiguous properties in the center of the South Main Street Historic District, one of the loveliest neighborhoods comprised of architecturally intact homes, two of which are nationally recognized B&Bs, plus the local library built of native stone and the public elementary school.

Hudson Headwaters Health Network’s billing office, now located on the corner of Elm St. and Stewart Farrar Ave., will be relocating to Queensbury. Hudson Headwaters is looking for a buyer to purchase the property. Stewart’s Shoppes has now entered into a contract to purchase these parcels.

In my opinion, this would not be the best use of the land.

The present location of Stewart’s, with a much needed expansion to the adjoining parcel on lower Main St., would be the best solution to suit all of their needs. A more favorable option for the vacant HHHN site in the historic district would be senior housing designed to accommodate the growing population of retired homeowners who would like to continue living in town with convenient access to shopping, places of worship, the library, etc.

I urge the Stewart’s Corporation, a supporter of community-based projects, to continue negotiations for expanding at their current location — a fully commercial area. I would also encourage the Town Board to focus on the best use of this property before voting to approve this zoning variance.

To the editor: Is Warrensburg “Main Street U.S.A.?”

What do you see when you drive over the bridge from Lake George into Warrensburg? I see a car wash, a closed hardware store, then a garage, then numerous gas stations which are intermingled with beautiful homes, B&B’s and churches. All this even before you arrive at the corner of Main St. and Stewart Farrar Ave. where Stewart’s Shoppes wants to build a new store with gas pumps.

Main Street in Warrensburg is obviously a very busy road with lots of car and truck traffic. It’s a real mess during The World’s Largest Garage Sale.

Stewart’s will have to contend with school bus traffic, fire truck and ambulance traffic as well as children walking to and from school. All this sounds like congestion that could prove dangerous.

Stewart Farrar Ave. is also residential with three homes and a church on the street. The church runs a food pantry.

Folks attending the food pantry often come using walkers, canes or pushing baby strollers. Parking would be a real issue for the church and the food pantry. One whole side of the road would no longer be available for parking.

Not to mention the congestion in traffic. Can you imagine cars with boat trailers and snowmobiles in tow or big delivery trucks? Then there’s always the library to consider that is in close proximity to the proposed Stewart's.

There are other vacant buildings in town. The building across from Potters and on upper Main St., the old garage next to the Masonic Temple. The current Stewart’s and Potters diner land seem to be the best solution.

Let’s stop tearing our town apart. Let’s enhance it. Let’s do something for everyone instead of just a few.

•100 Years Ago – Jan.-Feb., 1910• Winter has been rough on townsfolk

W

e are having an old fashioned winter. For three weeks we have had the thermometer down below zero every night and there is three feet of snow on the ground. Water, however, is a scarcity.

There was a blizzard on Jan. 29, 1910 and a heavy storm got well under way before noon, Feb. 3, 1910. Indications point to this latest storm as bringing one of the heaviest falls of snow of the winter. Poor suffering humanity is in for six more weeks of winter, unless the time honored groundhog changes his mind.

Workmen run for their lives Four men, Andrew Bennett, Orange Sweers, Malon Crandall and James Duell narrowly escaped death Jan. 26, 1910 when a large flume pipe burst at the International Paper mill at South Glens Falls. The mill was flooded with water which found its way into the river through a large window. The men escaped being carried in the path of the flood by climbing pipes. Otherwise they would have been carried through the window where the water fell 20 feet into the river.

Sam Pasco out on bail Lewis Olden of The Glen went before Judge Hodgson on Jan. 24, 1910 and swore out a warrant for Alvin “Sam” Pasco who was charged with assault in the third degree. Sheriff Smith served the summons. Pasco gave bail in the sum of $500 to assure his appearance before the next Grand Jury. The bail money was provided by John McPhillips and Jay Pasco of The Glen.

(Note…Sam Pasco was the bad-boy hero of the North Country. He was shot in the back and killed by a sheriff’s deputy in April of 1918 when he was running from the law after he had shot and killed his cousin’s husband, Orley Eldridge in Thurman. He is buried under a boulder in the Thurman Pasco Cemetery.)

Lad overcome by fever Harold Eldridge, 16, lies at his home in Warrensburgh in critical condition and it is feared that he will not recover. He was found by John Burt lying in the snow near the woods back of the Russell place (area near the back of the present-day Oscar’s Meats). A gun was lying by his side and he was unable to speak. Burt carried the boy out to the highway where he found help to take him to his home.

Dr. Cunningham examined him and found that he had not been shot but had been overcome by brain fever and meningitis.

His condition has not improved and owing to the exposure to the weather for several hours before he was found, it is believed that he will not recover.

Shattered arm in critical condition Frank Philo, 13, son of Charles Philo of Indian Lake, was op-

erated upon at the Glens Falls Hospital, Jan. 19, 1910, for the purpose of trying to save his right arm which was nearly blown from his body by the accidental discharge of a shotgun at his home.

The charge of shot from the gun entered the right wrist and followed along the bones of the forearm, tore away the greater part of the muscle, and broke the inner bone of the forearm.

Lake George news Considerable discussion has taken place in Glens Falls over the name which should be given the new steamboat which will be put in commission in 1911 on Lake George waters. Mayor Cool, of that city, requests that it be named, “City of Glens Falls” and another name suggested is “Che-pon-tic,” the Indian name for Glens Falls meaning “a difficult place to get around.”

Others believe that the name “Horicon” should be retained.

(Note…According to Warren County Historical Society historian Marilyn Van Dyke, this sidewheeler, built in Baldwin, was named “Horicon 2” and was “the most magnificent ship to ever sail the lake.” With a capacity of 1,500 passengers, it was dismantled in 1939 and sold for scrap.)

Mary Sage joins the centenarians Mrs. Mary Sage, mother of Mrs. Rufus Hastings of Warrensburgh, will be given a birthday party at the home of her son, William Sage in Darrowsville, in the town of Chester where she lives. She is 100 years old and retains her faculties to a remarkable degree. Her hearing is unimpaired, she sees well and keeps up with local affairs. Her neighbor, Mrs. John Parcell has reached the age of 92 years.

Mary Sage was born in Somersetshire, England, Feb. 2, 1810 and came to America in 1849 with her husband and four children. They settled in Chestertown and her husband, Courtney Sage died 30 years ago. They had eight children and six of them are still living at this time. They are Courtney, John, William and Frank Sage and Mrs. Hastings and Mrs. John Balch. Mary attributes her long life to hard work and staying cheerful.

threatened or attempted an enforcement action that was dropped or overturned: the Sandy Lewis farm worker housing case, the Leroy Douglas "wetlands" road case, the John Maye case about whether his house was illegally built on an existing foundation – which drew heated opposition in Lake George and other Adirondack communities and was widely reported in all Adirondack media – is more evidence of an agency overstepping its bounds. The APA is an administrative agency trying to act like a legislative body – attempting to create law and then enforce that law when it doesn't have the legal right to do so.

• We believe that the primary issue in the Adirondacks, as it has been for 20 years or more, is that so much of the state's focus has been on land acquisition that any effort to encourage and protect the economic lives of the communities has been cast aside. The recent Adirondack Park Regional Assessment project Report bore this all out: The decline in school enrollment is steeper and the median age of the population is rising more rapidly than elsewhere.

Household incomes are lower than in much of New York State. Sparse populations and regulatory practices have contributed to a lag in private sector investment in businesses, most notably in lack of broadband communication and data transfer infrastructure. The park-wide loss of private sector jobs has been somewhat offset temporarily by job increases in public health care, education and government employment. The creation of permanent jobs that pay living wages and provide benefits on which a family can depend is the most fundamental need in Adirondack communities. While jobs are needed in every community in New York State, few other communities' economic deterioration is so closely associated with the state's as the communities of the Adirondack Park.

• Local input and consent is the foundation of any successful project in the Adirondacks. Local officials are deeply knowledgeable about the needs of their towns and villages as well as how their towns and land uses fit in to the SLMP. The Agency was envisioned to work cooperatively with governments and landowners to preserve and foster vibrant hamlets as well as protect state Forest Preserve. But as recent times have shown – with three former members of the Adirondack Council on the agency's Board – the Agency seems more interested in targeting landowners than targeting problems. It is an inappropriate closeness – one that the environmental lobby would be upset

about if the APA Board were made up of large developers or business people.

• Along the same lines as local input on projects, we need more local input on the APA nominees. In order to more fully include the perspectives of the full-time residents of the Adirondacks, the five local commissioners appointed by the Governor for the Adirondack Park Agency Board should be chose from a list submitted by us each time there is an opening, as was informally done under some previous governors.

• We believe there should be opportunity for judicial review of the APA's decisions by local government - but the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board does not have standing to seek judicial review. A court decision in 1982 ruled that because the APA act didn't explicitly state that the Review Board had standing, it doesn't. The Attorney General also argued in the multi-county, multitown lawsuit against the APA, regarding the 2008 regulations, that the counties and towns lacked both capacity to sue the Agency and standing. We are seeking to change that because that means current legal decisions that directly affect the financial condition, municipal services, future growth, and programs of local governments are being made in the absence of those officials who are elected by their communities to represent the concerns of their constituents.

• We have been reviewing the Tug Hill Commission's structure and mission as one example of what we'd like to see happen at the Adirondack Park Agency – where the executive law that creates it says it is geared toward the "conservation and productive use of the natural resources of the region, strengthening the long-term economy, employment, cultural and social resources, and the general well-being of the rural communities."

• We're working with local officials and Review Board members – as well as our residents and businesses – for input on other questions or concerns they may have. In short, without reining in the Adirondack Park Agency, and creating economic opportunities, quality employment and affordable housing (among other needs) in the Adirondack Park, the economic life of the region will continue to deteriorate.

CHESTER • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 7

Todd Stanley awarded top firefighting honor by his peers POTTERSVILLE — A firefighter who as a teenager inspired the Pottersville Fire Department to start a junior firefighter program in 2003 was recently accorded the agency’s highest honor.

Todd Stanley, now an experienced Lieutenant in the Department, was named Firefighter of the Year of the Pottersville Volunteer Fire Department at its annual banquet held Jan. 9.

Fire Chief Guy Swartwout praised Todd Stanley for his dedication and tenure with the department.

“This award recognizes his leadership, his work in adding to the quality of department training and operations, encouraging and helping other members, the quality of what he personally does, his commitment, his concern for the people of his community and the contribution he makes to their welfare,” Swartwout said.

In 2002, as a 17-year-old, Stanley had approached the department officials and asked them if a Junior Firefighter designation could be launched within the agency, or at least form an affiliated Explorer Scout troop.

With Stanley’s prompting, a Junior Firefighter designation was started in the Department to allow teens as young as 16 to join. Then in February 2003, Stanley became the first of his age to join, Swartwout said.

“He immediately showed an amazing level of interest and desire and willingness to learn and, over the next couple of years gained skill and the respect of his older fellow members,” he said noting that Stanley had served as an example with others with many more years of service.

Swartwout noted Stanley, with enthusiasm, signed up for advanced firefighter training courses, and his dedicated service to the fire department as a youth earned him a Rookie of the Year award.

Swartwout said Stanley left the ranks of the agency for a while, but returned at the beginning of 2009.

“He again was ready to prove himself an enormous asset to the work of the Department and the welfare of his community,” Swartwout said, noting Stanley immediately demonstrated leadership, conducting drills, offering suggestions to improve training, as well as leading scene operations — attributes which prompted agency officials to appoint him Lieutenant.

The presentation of the award to Stanley at the capacity crowd at the annual banquet prompted cheers and a standing ovation.

Other awards handed out in the evening include those for high-

est levels of participation.

For most training drills attended in 2009, Donald Singleton was honored with the first place award; followed by Douglas Howe in second place; Todd Stanley in third; Richard Empett, fourth; and Michael Ferguson, fifth.

The fire department members participated in a total of 2,047 training hours last year. Don Singleton was awarded for the most hours spend in training, logging a total of 163 hours.

Runners up in this category, in order of hours spent, were Lisa Singleton , Robert Leszyk, Jennifer Leszyk with 112, and Jonathan Barney.

Awarded for the most incident responses was Donald Singleton, followed by Robert Leszyk, Eugene Carman, Jeffrey Finch, Jonathan Barney, and Delvin Wheeler respectively.

Tenure awards for longstanding service were presented to Eugene Dutcher, 36 years; Eugene Carman, 34 years; Kevin Ferguson, 25 years; Karen Griffen, 20 years; and Frederick Griffen III, five years.

Humorous awards were also a part of the ceremony. Fire Captain Kevin Feldt made gag presentations highlighting some of the unusual, or embarrassing moments among department members during the year.

A total of 91 people attended the banquet, including active and honorary firefighters and guests, and members of the Pottersville FD Auxiliary.

Notables joining the affair were Warren County Fire Coordinator Brian LaFlure and his deputies Ted Little and Scott Combs, and from the Warren County Sheriff’s Office: Undersheriff Robert Swan, Lieutenant Robert Smith, and Communications officer Brian Engle.

“Pottersville Fire Department has strong working relationships with and vital reciprocal dependency on its neighboring fire agencies,” Swartwout said.

Representing those agencies at the banquet were Chief Jim Hayes of Horicon, Chief Jack Crossman of Chestertown, Chief Bob Frevelle of Riverside, Chief Steve Studnicky of North Creek, and Assistant Chief Travis Howe of Minerva.

North Warren Emergency Squad President Kevin White and Squad Captain Bill LaPierre attended represented their agency with which PVFD works so closely in its First Responder EMS program, Swartwout said.

Chief Donald Singleton, (Board of Fire Commissioners Chairman Eugene Dutcher (second from right) and 1st Asst. Chief Delvin Wheeler (far right).

Activities and events in the hills

Emergency Squad seeking teenage volunteers

T

he Thurman Emergency Squad is planning on starting a junior squad for those over age 14 who would like to become a volunteer and help out with emergency medical services in our community.

Volunteering for an ambulance corps is seen as a good introduction for youth into the world of health care services; plus, teens can help provide a vital service upon which we all depend.

Call 623-9014 and leave your name and phone number and you will be notified.

The Thurman Emergency Squad held an election of officers recently and taking seats for 2010 are Captain George McKinney, Captain; First Assistant Captain, John Kindred; Second Assistant Captain, Robert Russell; President, Jim Desourdy; Vice President, Rick Ovitt; Secretary, Scott Mosher; Treasurer, Ann Lloyd; and Directors Ed Castro and Becky Desourdy.

The next meeting of the Thurman Emergency Medical Services will be at 6 p.m. Sunday Feb. 14. All meetings are open to the public.

Over the fence Here it is mid Jan. as I write this and we were supposed to experience a January thaw Monday with temperatures going to the mid 30s, but it’s well over 40 degrees. We’ve got a lot of rain coming down — we need canoes and not snowshoes up here — and much of this precipitation is freezing up on the roads and driveways.

The snowbanks are getting much thinner, and so are our wallets with property tax bills due and the electric bills, which went through the roof with the recent cold spell — which is expected to return Friday.

So if you find your family getting financially stressed, remember we do have a food pantry at the town hall, open during regular office hours. You can contact them at 623-9649.

If anyone needs assistance to get to their doctor appointments, or other errands, call Marilyn and she will try to help 623-9710 or get help for you.

On Tuesday Feb. 2, look outside for the woodchuck to see if he could get through the snow and see his shadow. Do this very early in the morning as Mr. Groundhog will surely want to rush back into his warm underground home and go back to sleep.

The Southern Adirondack Four-Wheeler Enthusiasts Club meets on Friday Jan. 12. For details, call 623-2007.

There will not be a Valentine for Veterans workshop this year at the town hall like there has been in the past. It used to be go gratifying to see the youth create and send off Valentines to the veterans who served our country so valiantly. Perhaps the tradition can be revived next year.

The Thurman Connections Snowmobile Club meets at 7 p.m.

Friday Jan. 29 at Hickory Hill Ski Center. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The John Thurman Historical Society will not meet in February. Those with questions — or wishing to join the group — are urged to call Irene at 623-9539.

The Thurman Volunteer Fire Co. is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m.

Monday Feb. 1 at the Athol fire house. All residents are welcome and those wishing to become a volunteer can get all their questions answered at the meeting.

The Gleaning food distribution will be held at the town hall at 10 a.m. Tuesday Feb. 2. This free food program is open to all residents. Bring good used grocery bags. For additional information, call 623-9649.

Cast your vote for ‘Movies on the Hill’ Last year, this summer-long program of a weekly family movies was a success, local organizers have determined. Therefore, this series is again in the planning stages for the upcoming summer, and program organizers need suggestions on familyoriented movies to be shown. Call 623-3987 and tell Irv the name of a good movie. We need a total of eight, one for each weekend in July and August.

Wards welcome new child Karen and Jeremy Ward of Mud St., Thurman are proud to announce the birth of a baby girl born at Glens Falls Hospital Monday Jan. 11. The girl has been named Makailyn Ruth and she weighed 8 pounds, 9.4 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. She joins her big sister, Layna, age 2, at home.

Proud grandparents are Wanda and Doug Olden of Warrensburg and the late Teddy Ackley of Athol; and Sylvia and Leon Ward of Raymertown.

Great grandparents are Tony and Evelyn Trapasso and Gertrude Ackley all of Warrensburg and Anna Ward of Troy.

Cameron and Dot Maxam on Feb. 5.

Little Nicky, son of Jalene and Anthony Lapradd of Messena has returned home after spending a week with his grandparents Jeff and Theresa Grants at their home on South Johnsburg Rd. Hope the new year finds everyone feeling better. Get well wishes go out to Tammy Winslow, Hial Hall III, Don Vopleus; Jackie Dingman, Joe Mosher, and Irv. Filomena Rivello and friend Ron Rosati of Garnet Lake Rd. enjoyed a weeks vacation in Florida at Disneyland during Florida’s recent cold snap. They said temperatures were in the 40s for only a couple days. They returned home to 6 inches of new wet snow.

Give the ‘Gift of Life’, get tax help

T

he American Red Cross has scheduled a blood drive at Bolton Town Hall Friday, Feb. 5 from noon to 5 p.m. Call the Red Cross for an appointment at 800-448-3543. Appointments aren’t necessary, but they’re appreciated.

‘Souper Bowl’ Sunday arriving soon On Sunday Feb. 7, known in our sports-oriented culture as Super Bowl Sunday, the Youth Ministry of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church will take up a collection for local hunger-related charities, asking the congregation to place their donation in their favorite football team's designated soup bowl at the church. When the collection is counted, the youth will announce the winning team of the "Souper Bowl of Caring," a nationwide program that reminds us, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, that we need to care for those who do not have even a bowl of soup to eat.

Eagle From page 1 Crystal Collier, also members of North Country Wild Care, have been helping out. They’ve been administering treatments, along with about 20 other members of the group. Collier said the bird had remarkable strength and presence.

“It’s hard to put into words, but it’s an honor, not a chore, to help take care of him,” he said.

“The Bald Eagle has such power and beauty, it’s incredible.”

His wife Crystal agreed.

“There’s an amazing intensity in the bird’s eyes,” she said.

Huffman echoed the point, adding she is eager to see him soar free again in several weeks.

“He’s definitely awe-inspiring,” Huffman said.

Like the other rehabilitators, Kimball said that caring for the eagle was an exciting opportunity.

“When he looks you in the eye, he doesn’t blink,” she said. “He really does represent the spirit of America.”

Stec From page 1 of Democratic luminary Ted Kennedy — signals the rejection by moderates and independents of the Democratic agenda spearheaded by President Barack Obama and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

And for Stec, the race would come down to two topics, he said.

“If I run, it will be an issues campaign and it will center on fiscal issues and health

care,” Stec said. “There are other issues that I’m sure we disagree on, but the two big issues of the day right now are the level of debt and spending that’s going on in Washington and the direction of where health care is going.”

According to the state Office of the Comptroller, Queensbury was the largest town in the state without a town tax last year and Stec said that this is proof of his fiscally conservative values.

Just 40 years old, Stec is a former U.S. Navy Officer and has Bachelors and Masters degrees in Business Administration.

Kane’s eccentric readings to be featured at Bolton bookstore BOLTON LANDING — The offbeat, evocative readings of area Author/Artist Jessica Kane will be featured at a CD release party Saturday Jan. 30 at Trees - Adirondack Gifts & Books on Main St. in downtown Bolton Landing.

Kane, who hails from Brant Lake and New York City, has just released a new CD collection of stories based on her life, “Straining to Parallel Park in an Empty Field.”

Trees store owner Doug Dineen said this week he is enthusiastic about showcasing Kane’s work and hosting her celebration. He’s asking story lovers to come to Bolton Landing from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, acquaint themselves with Kane’s work, and enjoy a winter party.

Kane’s off-kilter humor is threaded through her work, whether it’s her nouveaucountry singing, her idiosyncratic narratives and poetry, or her eccentric sculptures.

Jessica will read and sing selections from her latest

original work, and sign copies of the CD, Dineen said.

“She writes about the mundane in the most extraordinary way — In Jessica’s world, every moment deserves notice and captures her attention,” he said. “ She shows us there’s nothing ordinary about everyday life — at least not hers.”

The CD, which resulted from Kane’s obsession to record a year ’s worth of mundane but weird encounters, resulted in a collection of offbeat and entertaining stories, he said.

Reviewers have praised her narratives.

“Her work is clear, beautifully written and well-observed — it flows with humor, and poignant feeling for the delicate longings and encounters of this world,” author Paul Pines has said.

“Jessica Kane extracts the implausible from the mundane, and back-hands the dreariness to uncover the inspirations hidden within,” another reviewer wrote.

Kane has been published in Prevention Magazine,

During a recent presentation of writers at Willows Bistro in Warrensburg, area author/artist Jessica Kane of Brant Lake reads a narrative depicting the clash of cultures when she took a shopping trip with her father-in-law, a true Adirondacker, to Wal-Mart.

She’ll be holding a CD release party at 7 p.m. Saturday Jan. 30 at Trees - Adirondack Gifts & Books in Bolton Landing.

n 2009 and now 2010 health care reform and affordable insurance plans are in the works, maybe it will happen in the near future, maybe. I was encouraged by the President’s speech and heard his hope to reduce waste by streamlining care, reduce needless surgery, make preventative tests affordable or free and reduce preventable conditions through education and wellness programs. In my opinion, this cannot happen with the majority of the population showing such a rapid rise in preventable conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and much more.

In January of 2002 I was very encouraged by the words of the Surgeon General. The following is what I wrote at that time:

Health Report 2002

By Bonnie Sprinkle The Surgeon General issues a community call to action as health problems resulting from overweight and obesity could reverse many of the health gains in recent decades. In preparation of this report several strategies were reviewed for their proven scientific effectiveness. Two important ones being to: 1) Change the perception of obesity so that health becomes the chief concern, not personal appearance.

2) Educate health care providers and health profession students on the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity across the lifespan.

"Overweight and obesity are among the most pressing new health challenges we face today," Health & Human Service Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said. "Our modern environment has al-

lowed these conditions to increase at alarming rates and become a growing health problem for our nation. By confronting these conditions, we have tremendous opportunities to prevent the unnecessary disease and disability they portend for our future."

Surgeon General David Satcher recently said "Overweight and obesity may soon cause as much preventable disease and death as cigarette smoking.

People tend to think of overweight and obesity as strictly a personal matter, but there is much that communities can and should do to address these problems.” Administrators of Insurance Programs and employers need to take a serious look at Preventative Health Care Programs and the importance they play in reducing healthcare and insurance costs for everyone.

Obesity among adults has doubled since 1980, while overweight among adolescents has tripled.

Only 3 percent of all Americans meet at least four of the five federal Food Guide Pyramid recommendations. Forty percent of adults engage in no leisuretime physical activity at all. Weight loss, while the long term goal, should not be the initial goal of a successful return to a health/obesity reduction program. The first results should be: increased energy, better thinking power, sleep better, an added spring to the step, in general feeling better. Bodyfat reduction is the best true guideline, rather than weight loss. Many of our current popular diet programs promote weight loss, but with bodyfat percentages increasing and health risks increasing with these weight loss programs. We can see the results of the last few decades of dieting. Arthritis, diabetes, hypertension are for the most created by a few years of poor eating. Modern medicine can keep us alive

SATURDAY January 30, 2010

longer, it’s up to us to improve the quality of those years.

Remember the above was written almost 10 years ago and obesity figures have only increased since then. No longer can it be assumed that only the unlucky few get these preventable conditions and it’s just the luck of the draw. Even heredity might not play the part that many believe. What a difference healthy eating and moderate activity could make.

We as individuals need to take responsibility for what we ingest and our activity levels. The old adage move it or lose it has proven very true.

Wanda Sykes in a recent comedy routine joked about health care reform, saying that she’s for it but apparently some aren’t. Adding that it should be for everyone, well…..everyone except competitive eaters because “if you eat 65 hot dogs in 20 minutes and your hearts stops beating….then that’s on you.”

Well, that and I’d have to add if you eat poison and junk every day for the majority of your eating, well maybe that’s on you. Until the majority of the population, rather than the minority, understand and practice a healthy lifestyle, insurance can never be affordable.

Bin it: Throw it away at the earliest opportunity, or keep it in a plastic bag until you can dispose of it.

Wash your hands to prevent the spread of the germs.

Eat nutritious foods

W

ith the onset of winter, many of us will succumb to the usual round of coughs, colds and other viruses, but there are things we can all do to boost our immunity and keep as well as possible They include eating well, keeping active and following the government advice on limiting the spread of viruses.

It's a natural instinct to turn to hearty foods in cold weather as we look for the comfort of warming, filling meals. Too often this means we increase our intake of fat and sugar, which will provide short-term energy boosts, but leave us flagging again soon after.

The key to great eating all year round is to opt for foods that release their energy slowly. * Wholemeal, wholegrain and wholewheat foods, including breads, cereals, rice and pasta. * Fibrous fruit and veg (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, peaches, pears, nectarines, dates) * Nuts and seeds * Jacket potatoes * Peas and beans * Bananas * Pulses and grains * Oats A hearty, healthy stew or casserole could include some lean meat or poultry bolstered up by adding lentils, kidney beans, brown rice, chickpeas, pearl barley or couscous. Potatoes can be a great choice as long as you’re sparing with the butter and add some great protein like soft cheese, baked beans or canned tuna.

You can make wonderful fruit crumbles using fibrous fruits with a rolled oats topping, and served with natural yoghurt sprinkled with a few chopped nuts or seeds.

HEALTH & FITNESS • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 19

Keep active You may not have the inclination to go out jogging, cycling or playing football in colder weather, but you could still enquire at your local leisure centre about booking a indoor court for a family match or going for a swim.

It might be a good time to find an exercise class like yoga, pilates or body conditioning, too, to combat the extra pounds that seem to creep on during the winter months.

Exercising in the early evening will help ensure you get a really good night's sleep, too, which is in itself a great way of boosting your immunity.

'Catch it, kill it, bin it' Catch it: Carry a supply of tissues with you so you can whip it out at the first sign of a sneeze and cover your mouth when you cough, too.

Kill it: Contain the bugs in your tissue by crumpling it up.

Beating the winter blues, step by step W

hen the graceful snowfall quickly turns into the blizzard from the North Pole, it’s easy to get irritable and downright depressed when your stuck inside. Although school’s out during the usual snowstorm, getting to work in the early morning winter hours can be stressful.

Coming home after a long day to be greeted by the cold once again can do a number on your overall outlook. Sure fire signs of the winter blues include lack of motivation, low energy, a lowered stress tolerance level. Some people attribute the seasonal sensitivity to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a condition that leads to serious energy lags, mood swings, and other symptoms associated with depression.

When you need a pick-me-up

(and the coffee just isn’t cutting it), there’s always room for an attitude and outlook adjustment. Beating the winter blues is easier when you simply accommodate for it; if you know you’re going to get down quickly, taking preventative steps may be a wise choice. Here are five easy ways to beat the winter blues.

1. Don’t oversleep. It’s oh-so-easy to take multiple naps and sleep longer hours when it’s dark and dreary. Avoid the habit, and you’ll fare well in the long run. Oversleeping doesn’t provide you with the extra rest you think you’re getting. Unless you’re a super-athlete or work extended hours, limit your sleep cycle to the standard 6-8 hours. And stick with a sleep cycle!

Too many disruptive patterns can create mood disturbances themselves.

3. Exercise your cares away. A natural antidepressant, vigorous

exercise can boost your mood immediately. Lighter, ongoing exercise will keep you in tip-top shape before Spring break creeps up on you!

4. Up your Omega-3’s: Your diet is critical to long-term health and

overall wellness. Omega-3’s are a natural source of essential fatty acids. They keep you healthy, and some studies have shown a natural link between fish oils and depression.

5. Treat yourself to a massage.

Regular massage therapy will stabilize and reduce stress naturally, giving you the perfect reason to step out of a routine for a while. A massage can not only relieve general aches and pains, but you’ll sleep better and can detox naturally over a period of time. Make a commitment to take charge of your health this winter by adding an appointment or two to your monthly regiment.

Whenever you feel that slide of mood decline creeping up on you this winter season, don’t despair!

Anticipation can help you plan ahead for a healthy, happy, and even enjoyable few months.

Lake George fights back, combats Burgher offensive onslaught Lake George 64, Warrensburg 56 LAKE GEORGE — Warrensburg boys basketball fans had their dreams nearly fulfilled during a showdown in the Warrior gym Jan. 20.

For a lengthy time in the second half, the Burghers were out-shooting and out-defending Lake George.

Not in recent history had the fans seen a game like this, where Warrensburg held a solid lead against Lake George, a perennial powerhouse.

Behind by as much as 10 points early on in the second quarter, Warrensburg fought back.

Both teams put forth aggressive defense inside, prompting an offensive spectacle of three-point shots involving both teams. But Warrensburg’s Mike Curtis stole the show with a barrage of long-distance buckets that tied the game, then put Warrensburg ahead.

The climactic shot from Curtis was his fadeaway throw from the sidelines over the arms of a Warrior defender who had decided Curtis needed extra pressure. Falling into the stands as his shot stripped the net, fans cushioned Curtis’ plunge.

Midway in the fourth quarter, Lake George caught up, despite losing athletic starter Alex Hladik.

Warrior J.D. Jenkins took a shot, but was fouled. He connected on the free throw, and the score was 54-53 — Lake George leading with two minutes on the clock.

McGowan repeated the accomplishment, and Lake George didn’t look back, increasing their lead as the Burghers took risks to get ball possession as the clock ticked down.

Foul shots were the determining factor in the game which ended up 64-56 in Lake George’s favor.

Excluding the foul shots, Warrensburg outscored Lake George 41-32. Lake George went to the foul line 28 times, versus 20 for the Burghers. Lake George completed 15 of 18 throws from the foul line in the fourth quarter, 32 for 46 over the whole game.

Minutes after the buzzer sounded, Warrensburg’s dynamic coach Rich Schloss sounded frustrated.

“The kids worked very hard, and they deserved this game tonight,” he said. “Mike Perrone put up one heck of a battle on defense, and Mike Curtis was on fire — when he gets confidence you just can’t stop him.

Curtis led the Burghers with 21 points, followed by John Joseph with 12, Brendan Frye with 11, Mike Perrone contributing seven — including two three-pointers, Hunter Werner adding three, and Ryan Beldon chipping in two.

“The kids played their hearts out, but we just came up short,” Schloss said.

Boys Varsity Basketball

Cougars challenge league powerhouse Corinth 39, North Warren 38 CHESTERTOWN — The North Warren basketball team showcased their athletic talent Jan. 22 by dominating Adirondack League powerhouse Corinth for all but the final minute of play.

But the improbable dream — within reach for the Cougars for about an hour Friday night — of beating the 9-1 team fielded by a larger school was dashed with two clutch shots.

Tomahawk standout Ron Bovee hit two consecutive threepointers while his teammates held off North Warren for the dramatic finish to the game.

While Cougar defenders were smothering the offensive stars Hernandez and Tucker, dark-horse player Bovee, who hadn’t accomplished much offensively all night, hit his first of the two with about 40 seconds left, then followed up with the second with 10 seconds remaining, Cougar Coach Jason Humiston said. ”We put up a tough defense, we got our rebounds and our breaks, but we just lost track of Bovee,” Humiston said. “We had them on the ropes, but we just couldn’t finish them off.”

North Warren maintained a solid lead throughout the game. Corinth led just once by one point in the third before the Cougars shut them down again.

The Cougars, a young team this season, have improved substantially during the season. The last time these two teams met, the Cougars lost 60-23.

“Our kids played really well — We should have won it,” Humiston said. “Our kids got nervous, and we made a few mistakes at the end.”

North Warren's Jeff Bennett scored 18 points — including a trio of three-pointers — and Bryan Beckler tallied 12 points, assisted by Joe Aiken with four points and Kristian Seeley and Travis Monroe with two each.

Warrensburg 53, Hadley-Luzerne 38 LAKE LUZERNE — John Joseph scored 16 points and Mike Perrone added 12 to lead Warrensburg past Hadley-Luzerne Jan. 22.

Warrensburg outscored the host Eagles 21-7 in the second quarter and the Burghers never looked back.

Frye chipped in with nine points, Mike Curtis added seven, followed by Ryan Belden with six, and Nichols with a

For the Warriors, Matt McGowan led with 21 points, assisted by Alex Hladik with 15, followed by Aaron Chambers with 13 — including a trio of treys, J.D. Jenkins with nine, and Matt Stover with three.

Warrior Coach Dave Jones said Curtis’ outside shooting forced them to switch to a man-to-man defense.

“That Curtis kid was on fire,” Jones said of Curtis‘ five three-pointers, four in the third quarter. “We just didn’t have an answer for him.”

Jones praised his players, particularly Matt Stover who came on the floor when a starter fouled out. Stover grabbed loose balls twice, giving the Warriors possession.

“Those were big plays for us, and that’s the kind of effort we’re looking for,” he said.

With the win, Lake George improved to 7-2 in the Adirondack League, 7-5 overall. The Lake George Junior Varsity squad won their game, too. three-pointer.

When the two teams last faced each other Dec. 8, it was a 44-24 blowout victory for Hadley Luzerne.

Queensbury 63, Warrensburg 10 QUEENSBURY — The wrestling team of Queensbury High School defeated its far-smaller opponent Warrensburg 63-10 in a non-league matchup Jan. 19.

Contributing points for the Burghers were Logan Winter at 130 pounds with a pin in a mere 44 seconds, and a lopsided 11-1 decision from Donovan Santisteban at 119 over his opponent.

WARRENSBURG -- For decades, Warrensburg has sent off its finest wrestlers to schools an hour or so away to compete in the day-long Section II Class D annual tournament.

This year, they won’t have to travel.

On Feb. 6, Warrensburg High School will be hosting the Class D tournament, which includes 12 schools from across the Capital Region.

From Duanesburg to Waterford, Berlin to Whitehall, about 170 wrestlers will be traveling to Warrensburg to prove their the best among all those fielded by small schools.

This is the second time in the past quarter-century that Warrensburg has hosted the Class D tourney. The last time was in 1995.

Scheduled to compete in the Class D tourney are Albany Academy, Berlin, Berne-Knox-Westerlo, Cambridge, Duanesburg, Rensselaer, Salem, Schoharie/Middleburgh, Voorheesille, Warrensburg, Waterford and Whitehall.

“It’s going to be huge,” Warrensburg Wrestling Coach Mark Trapasso said.

“It’s absolutely a great honor for Warrensburg.”

Trapasso said he expects a capacity crowd to attend the tournament, centered in the high school gymnasium.

The weigh-ins start at 7:30

a.m., and conclude at 8:30 a.m. when a breakfast, prepared by volunteers, will be available. Both the breakfast and lunch, the latter served until about 6 p.m., will be available to both wrestlers and the public. Admission to the tournament is $6, and proceeds go to the Section II agency.

Wrestling action starts at 9:30 a.m., and spectators are expected to arrive by then, or earlier. Most wrestlers will be wrestling four matches during the day if their weight classes are full.

Matches will be held concurrently on three wrestling mats.

The Class D Championship finals are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and are

likely to end at about 8:30 p.m., Trapasso said.

“The gym will be rockin’ for the finals,” he said.

The top four wrestlers in each of the 15 Class D weight classes will go on to the Section II Championship Finals to be held Friday and Saturday Feb. 12 and 13 at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Warrensburg’s Class D tourney on Feb. 6 is being organized by members of the Varsity Wrestling team as well as the Warrensburg Wrestling Club and volunteers.

“We’ll be putting on a good show,” Trapasso said.

“We want the Class D tournament to come back here soon.”

The WCS Varsity

Wrestling Team will be entering a full slate of wrestlers. Standouts expected to do well include Donovan Santisteban at 119, Cole Tennant at 152, Kendall Converse at 189, Logan Winter at 135, Aiden Szabo at 96, and Beecher Baker at 103.

Trapasso said others on the team -- “dark horse” competitors -- are likely to surprise fans and make their mark in the tourney, as in years past.

Maybe they’ll turn to the past for inspiration.

The last time Warrensburg hosted the Class D tournament, Warrensburg’s own Troy Beadnell won his weight class and went on to become the Section II Champion and a State Finalist.
