County to ‘Jimmerize’ the region

Carnival commands national attention

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — An enthusiastic crowd, keen competition in a crazy contest, and world-class coverage combined to make a memorable for the opening weekend of the 2011 Lake George Winter Carnival.

This weekend edition of the 50year-old fest looks equally promising, Carnival organizers said Monday.

Saturday’s zany outhouse race across the frozen surface of Lake George featured a bevy of competitors with imaginative outhouses and costumes.

The bizarre competition apparently captured the imagination of Manhattan newspaper editors, as

Beecher Baker surprises a South Glens Falls opponent earlier this year as he pulls off a reversal. Baker scored fifth place in the Section II tournament Saturday, Feb. 5. See Page 14 for the full story.

Veterans home planned for Thurman

THURMAN — For years, a sprawling home nestled in the woods off Zaltz Road provided a place for elderly to enjoy the comforts of home with security and serenity. Now, the former Z Place may offer all this and more to U.S. veterans who have issues readjusting to life’s routines.

Bruce Sumner and his wife, Sonya Gildred, are seeking to provide a home for soldiers returning from combat — and displaced veterans looking for a new start in life.

Whether it’s a homeless veteran seeking emergency housing, or a soldier returning from oversees seeking to transition back into society, Sumner said the veterans home he’s launching, “Turning Point,” will provide the supportive environment that would help up to eight troubled veterans get their lives back together.

“This home will provide the opportunity for veterans to take time for themselves, relax, and get what they need,” he said.

Sumner said Turning Point will help veterans pursue schooling, acquire computer skills, get a job, or just function well in life.

“I’d like for Turning Point to give veterans the support and direction they may need to get their lives back together,” he said. “There are no veterans homes like this from Glens Falls to Plattsburgh.”

To support the mission, he’ll be seeking compensation from government agencies, private and government grants and donations from individuals and businesses.

Sumner, who has been living at the spacious home for about a month with Gildred and their children, is leasing the property with an option to buy it. Also, he is now applying to establish Turning Point as a nonprofit charitable corporation.

Warrensburg School Board grapples with expenses

By Lynn Smith denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The first budget meeting to formulate the 2011-12 spending plan for Warrensburg Central School District was held Jan. 31 at the high school, and the expenses related to transportation, buildings and grounds were discussed — as well as whether a board subcommittee ought to be sharing information with the public.

School officials noted that both the elementary and high school boiler systems

need repairs or upgrading, and this issue is to be discussed at the next budget workshop meeting. A $3,100 decrease in trash removal, as well as a $10,000 decrease in cleaning supplies, were negotiated by school business administrator Cindy Turcotte.

The ongoing problem of two-way radios in busses not being able to communicate with each other was discussed, and the problem is compounded by Warren County Emergency Services office realigning the frequencies that various entities use. With these issues in play, the school district’s radios — which are not digitally programma-

Opera house collapses under snow

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — One of the two former Gaslight Village buildings that raised so much controversy for two years made a symbolic statement Monday Feb. 7 when a section of it collapsed.

The rear portion of the Opera House, decades ago a busy tourist attraction, caved in under the weight of snow on its roof.

The structure, along with the companion Cavalcade of Cars building, were scheduled to be demolished in several months.

But the remains of the Opera House will now have to come down sooner, county public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson said Tuesday.

“As a matter of public safety, we want to knock it down before the end of the week,” he said.

The tons of snow on the roof crumbled some laminated wood trusses that were holding up the structure, Tennyson said.

“Snow is heavy, and the building was weak,” Tennyson said, noting that the structures trusses gave way.

Former Superintendent of Public Works William Lamy had warned county super-

$0 DOWN until 02/19/11

visors about a year ago the trusses were rotting at the base and needed to be replaced. His report was presented at a time the county leaders were expecting to preserve and re-utilize it to house festivals and events.

County heavy equipment was active on the Gaslight Village site Tuesday, clearing snow for access to the buildings in preparation for the upcoming demolition work.

The building had been fenced off since Lamy declared the building unsafe.

Tennyson said that he would be contacting Jackson Demolition, under contract to raze the structure, to see if their workers were available to conduct the work earlier. If not, county workers will be accomplishing the task after the appropriate demolition permits are in place, Tennyson said.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais, who tirelessly advocated for the building’s demolition to free up open space on the festival grounds, said some local citizens were “high-fiving” him Monday, and he had no idea what the gestures meant because he hadn’t yet heard about the collapse.

“It’s just fortunate that no one was hurt, and no more money was spent on that building,” he said.

Goodell, 33, of Baker St., Hudson Falls, was arraigned on a Misdemeanor charge of second-degree Aggravated Harassment based on a Jan. 12 incident.

town hall meeting.

Still, objections were heard about the paper waste associated with handing out copies of the proposed budget.

Budget Advisory Committee member Sheila Mender said she’d look into obtaining an overhead projector to use at future meetings to avoid the paper waste occurring through distribution of the 12-page proposed budget.

Members of the Citizens Advisory Committee reported that several dozen townspeople attended the recent public meeting at the town hall, and these citizens offered positive suggestions including how the school can cut revenue by seeking to have independent community groups support various aspects of school programs.

The next budget committee meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. March 7 in the High School library. To be discussed are the expenses related to instruction, general support, pupil services and employee benefits.

Alan Smith, who organized the last public Citizens Advisory Committee meeting said it is now someone else’s turn to organize the next public meeting. Information will follow in the Adirondack Journal if such a meeting is scheduled.

Several at the budget meeting expressed concern about paper waste at the school, which includes copies of various notices, study materials, budget information, and homework.

School board members were asked to forgo receiving printed copies of monthly meeting agendas, and have them sent via email. But after a lengthy discussion, which included board members responding they did not want to print out their own copies, the idea was scuttled.

School Librarian Elaine Cowin said she was opposed to the Citizen’s Budget Advisory Committee distributing printed copies of the proposed budget available at the advisory committee’s recent public meeting at the town hall. Others argued that the public should not have the preliminary budget proposals until voting time.

Cowin said that the advisory committee sharing proposals and discussing ideas with the public was against board policy. But school board vice president Dean Moore and other members of the board countered that it was indeed the committee’s mission to hear public input on the budget, and that’s exactly what they were doing at the recent

Local history museum urges all to visit

A new snowmobile trail that connected northern Warren County with trails in southern destinations has been closed temporarily because of needed upgrades, according to officials of the North Warren Trail Blazers' Club.

The new trail that has been under construction since fall to Lake George is closed. This is the trail that starts behind Oscar's in Warrensburg and goes south to McDonald’s Restaurant and continue towards Alden Ave. and connects with the South Warren trail system.

Officials of the North Warren Trail Blazers' Club attempted to get this trail developed late in the fall but needed more time to develop it into a safe, well -roomed and well-designated trail with appropriate signs.

Sledders are urged to stay off the trail. All existing signs will be coming down soon, and temporary barriers will be erected. The connector trail to Schroon Lake, however, has been groomed a number of times and offers a beautiful ride, officials said. Sledders are asked to remember this is a woods trail and is relatively narrow, and shouldn’t be ridden fast.

Ski season pass to be raffled by Ministry North Country Ministry is raffling a 2011-2012 season pass to Gore Mountain Ski Center. Tickets are $5 each, or five for $20, and can be obtained by calling 251-4425. The raffle, with a drawing on March 15, is to help fund the agency’s emergency assistance fund.

sATurdAY February 12, 2011

Nice sales pitch, Mr. Cuomo, now get to work I live a rather quiet life, and I’m not into many social activities. So it’s a big week when I get a special invitation to attend a meeting with the lieutenant governor, Robert Duffy, and a personalized email from the new governor himself, Andrew Cuomo.

Unfortunately, the snow we had on Feb. 2 forced the lieutenant governor to postpone our get-together until a later date.

Over the years, and especially the last few years, I’ve become very suspicious of our elected officials and those who aspire to those positions. So when they come knocking, I now tend to get worried about their intentions. Unfortunately, the older you get the less trusting you become … like parts of your body that start sagging or the hair that keeps falling out. There’s not much you can do to prevent it. It’s just part of the aging process.

While they all say they are public servants, time and time again we discover, all too often after the fact, that they were really self-serving servants.

Thus was the case recently when our Assembly Representatives Sayword and Duprey opted to take early retirement one day and resumed their elected duties the next. Oh, I’m sure they had plenty of sound reasons for their actions. Bottom line, my state is financially broke and their actions did more for them personally then it did for

me and my fellow taxpayers. Tell me how their actions helped me and not themselves?

But back to the governor ’s email. He asked me (and I’m sure many others) to listen to his 5-minute prepared speech asking for my help. My first thought was, “Here we go again.” Times are really tough; I and all New Yorkers will need to ante up to help Cuomo solve the problems he said he could solve if we gave him the opportunity to go to Albany as our chief executive.

As I debated with my fingers on the mouse, left button I listen, right button I delete … I thought to myself, “What do I have to lose?” It’s only a recorded message, and I could practice giving him a piece of my mind. The governor started by thanking me for electing him, and I began reaching for the right mouse button. Then he said three things I could not disagree with: 1. We need to clean up Albany and restore integrity.

2. We need to get the economy running and create jobs.

3. We need to stop government overspending and overtaxing.

He got my attention.

I was hooked for the duration but still

Where’s the justice?

•100 Years Ago – February 1911• Widow wins large verdict A jury in the Supreme Court in Ballston gave Mabel Pattee of Fort Edward a verdict on Feb. 27, 1911, of $5,000 against the Hudson Valley Railroad Co. She had brought an action to recover $25,000 damages for the death of her husband, Howard Pattee, who was burned on a trolley car Oct. 31, 1909, which resulted in his death in Glens Falls Hospital.

Mr. Pattee was injured while a passenger on the trolley car near Fort Edward on his way home from work. The car was crowded and he stood in the vestibule. It was claimed a flash of electricity emanating from the controller enveloped him from head to foot in flames and from the result of the burns he died in great pain.

The railroad company interposed the defense that Pattee at the time had a bottle of gasoline in his pocket which in some manner exploded and he became ignited, thus causing his death. At the former trial of the case last October, 1910, the jury disagreed with this theory and the railroad company appealed their verdict to no avail.

In another recent court case, Ella Luffman of Ballston Spa was given a verdict of $11,500 in her action against the Hudson River Telephone Co. for the death of her husband on one of the company’s poles at Saratoga Springs.

Next he tells me New York state law automatically forces the budget to increase by 13 percent each year, which is six times the rate of inflation. And what’s worst, we spend far more than other states and get far less in return.

The governor highlights two examples: 1. New York is No. 1 in education spending yet rank 34th in performance.

2. New York is No. 1 in Medicaid spending but ranks 21st in performance.

He blames these conditions on our state working for the special interest groups and lobbyists instead of working for the people. And what’s really a surprise, he tells me this isn’t happening on just one side of the aisle but equally affects both Democrats and Republicans.

While the people and businesses of New York have been forced to deal with the realities of the economic collapse, our government hasn’t adjusted to these new economic times.

As I wait for the shoe to drop, he tells me he will cut his office’s budget by 10 percent,

W.W. Scofield, an old resident of Knowelhurst, somewhat over 70 years of age, was found dead in his barn Feb. 12, 1911. Death was probably due to apoplexy or heart disease, but no coroner could be got there, no examination was made.

Three times in two years one has been called to this town to make investigations in such a case, but could not be got.

Why can we not get such service when we help pay for it?

Dabbling in muddy politics Alfred Brown, proprietor of Hotel Hudson at Fort Edward, has been nominated by the Republicans for president of that village. He was formerly proprietor of the Warren House (next door south of today’s Potter ’s Diner), in Warrensburgh and is thoroughly adapted for the hotel business.

Everyone likes “Al” and he is a good judge of men and knows quite a bit about the muddy science of politics.

Alfred C. Stone, who recently bought the Grand Army House property from Sheriff Thomas J. Smith, took possession Monday morning, Feb. 30, 1911, succeeding as landlord, Walter Linindoll, who has conducted the hotel for two or three years. Mr. Linindoll, who is now employed in Albany, has moved his family to Luzerne, their former home.

(Note: Henry Fuller owned a small boarding house and store by the Schroon River where George Henry’s tavern is today located. In 1887 he sold it to Patrick Heffron, a former employee of the Burhan’s Tannery. Heffron converted and rebuilt it into a prosperous hotel that in 1889 he named, “The Grand Army House.” His son, John K. Heffron owned the grocery store next door. Because of health reasons, “Uncle Pat,“ as he was known, sold the hotel to father and son, Thomas and Mac Smith in 1904. Heffron died in 1906 after a bad fall aggravated by heart trouble. Although H. Walter Linindoll was a landlord, I don’t think he was ever an owner. He is best remembered for his racehorse, a “speedy stepper” named “Black Silk,” which he raced at Altamont.)

Accidents and illness take serious toll Mrs. Jay Taylor of Bolton Landing died Feb. 29, 1911 from the effects of a fall on the ice about three weeks earlier.

Miss Alice Bernoit, daughter of Benjamin Benoit of Glens Falls, was seriously injured Feb. 28, 1911 by falling down a flight of stairs leading to the cellar of her home. The girl was rendered unconscious by the fall and it is thought that her injuries will prove fatal.

Dr. G.H. Aldrich of Stony Creek is seriously ill with paralysis, with no hope of recovery. He sustained a second stroke a few weeks ago and it is believed that he is in death’s shadow and that the end is near.

Should have wandered elsewhere Joseph Parker, a wanderer on the face of the earth, drifted into Warrensburgh on Feb. 22, 1911 and made noises like a drunken man. He fell into the benevolent hands of John J. Archer, Overseer of the Poor, who conducted him into the hands of Sheriff T.J. Smith, who took him before Justice Hodgson. Parker pleaded guilty to a charge of public intoxication and was directed to hand over $10 in real money or to go to the County Jail for 30 days.

Parker joined the little band of total abstainers from booze The Adirondack Journal welcomes letters to the editor.

5 percent upon taking office and 5 percent more in this coming budget. He intends to eliminate waste and duplication and cut the size of government. And, while other governors have given in to special interests, he assures me he will not be intimidated, will not back down and HE will get this job done.

So I’m thinking, Mr. Cuomo, what’s this going to cost me?

“The real power of the governor lies with the people of the state,” he said. “Democracy only works when the voice of the people rings strong and rings true. I need you to help me.”

I am left with only one thought: ”Mr. Cuomo, get this job done!” You needn’t tell me how pivotal these times are, nor how failure is not an option. We’ve wasted far too much money and time and are now out of both. I’m with you. I’m buying what you’re selling, but I want a leader to lead me through these difficult times. And please understand I’ve bought this sales pitch too many times before to not be very skeptical. How can I know you’ll give us a government as good as the people of this great state?

The answer is simple. What choice do we have?!

Mr. Cuomo, please be a true and honest leader who does what he says he will do. Be a servant of the people who elected you.

Please don’t let us down, Mr. Cuomo. We will be watching, rooting and helping as needed, but you sir, are driving the boat.

Deaths in the news Arthur Jackson, 11 years, son of Hollis Jackson of Saratoga Springs, formerly of Warrensburgh, died Tuesday morning, Feb. 21, 1911 of pneumonia. The remains were brought to Warrensburgh for burial.

Benjamin Odell, 80, died Feb. 16, 1911 at his home in Odell Mills. He was born Jan. 9, 1831 making him one of the oldest residents in this area and he died in the house where he was born. Three daughters and two sons survive him.

J.T. Washer, Bakers Mills Town Highway Superintendent, was notified on Feb. 21, 1911 to open the road from Foxlair to the county line so that the funeral procession bringing the remains of Miss Pearl Martin of Wells, could pass through to Johnsburgh for burial.

News roundabout Interest is steadily growing in the revival meetings which are being held every evening at the First Baptist Church in Warrensburgh. Miss Moore is a logical, forceful and deeply interesting speaker and those who listen to her derive a great deal of excellent food for helpful thought. The meetings will continue until March 12, 1911.

There was a 10 cent supper in the reading rooms, Feb. 22, 1911, for the benefit of the Rev. D.F. Brooks in Pottersville.

Miss Sarah Hadden of Warrensburgh is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Myron Prosser at their home, “Grand View Farm,” in Chestertown. (Note: Myron Prosser, who owned a prosperous grocery store, was the brother of Sarah Hadden’s mother, Mrs. Frederick (Harriet Jane Prosser) Hadden who lived on Hadden Hill, now called Ridge St., Warrensburgh.)

Seth A. Reed has purchased a rug weaving loom and will add one more industry to his flourishing plant, which includes a greenhouse business on Ridge St., Warrensburgh.

Miss Jessie Begore of Moriah is teaching school in District No. 6 in East Thurman.

In Johnsburgh Corners a little daughter arrived at the home of William Coulter, Feb. 16, 1911 and mother and little one are doing nicely.

Lafayette Knowlton has sold his house and lot in Knowelhurst to Dudley S. Austin. George H. Ingraham of North Thurman has, with his three teams, put in 72 cords of pulp wood in the past two weeks.

Lewis Thomson expects to finish his big lumber job in Stony Creek township. He has had 30 teams engaged in getting out 16,000 cords of pulp wood and 4,000 market logs.

(Note: Lewis Thomson’s home is today’s Cornerstone Victorian Bed and Breakfast.)

Several fishing parties have been having great sport fishing for pickerel through the ice at Garnet.

Mrs. Joseph Parker died Feb. 21, 1911 at her home near the Warrensburgh County Home after a brief illness of pneumonia. She is survived by her husband.

Lee Merritt of Glens Falls and Miss Elsie M. Loveland of Lake George were married Wednesday evening, Feb. 15, 1911 by the Rev. O.S. Newell at Glens Falls.

Nelson DuFresne, who went to Pueblo, Colo. a few weeks ago to take charge of a shirtwaist and suit factory, found the climate was detrimental to his health and he was failing so rapidly that he was compelled to give up his position and return to Warrensburgh. He says he is back to stay and will open a gentleman’s and ladies’ furnishing store downtown.

SATURDAY February 12, 2011

West hears from godchild after decades apart After not seeing or hearing from his godchild for at least 35 years, Irv West of High St. was overjoyed recently to locate her on Facebook. After several messages back and forth to confirm identity, they communicated for a few hours.

Yes, Stacia Ladson was indeed his real godchild, last seen by Irv as a very young girl — now grown up and a teacher and school counselor in Las Vegas.

Ladson and her daughter, 11-year-old Skylar, are planning to visit Thurman this summer. Skylar is emailing West daily so she can get to know her new granddad.

This will be a long-overdue reunion, but one that they are all looking forward to, we hear.

Over the fence Feb. 12 is now here, and old-timers will remember it once was a day off from school as it’s the birthday of Abe Lincoln which was always observed. This of course was before the days of putting all the holidays on a Monday so certain people could get a three-day weekend! There are still a couple of holidays that they haven’t yet figured how to change, but give them time!

Happy 202nd birthday, Abe! Local residents express their thanks to the Thurman Highway crew for keeping the local roads open and plowed. So many storms with lots of snow waited to hit our area until January and before one was cleared out, we got plenty more!

Thanks boys for keeping our roads safe! Now as I write this, we hear that more storms are on the way.

Happy Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14. Did you ever notice that snowflakes that fall on that day are shaped like little hearts? — Just ask any Irishman.

If someone wants to conduct the Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) weightloss program at the Thur-

man Town Hall, folks in Thurman sure would appreciate it.

It’s getting to be that time of year to start thinking of summer — and thinking of those shorts and swimming suits, many are hoping to lose a few pounds. Those who can assist in overseeing the program — or who want to obtain details, call Debbie Allen at 792-2888.

Needed: A local citizen is in need of some small baskets. If anyone has such an item to spare, drop them off at the Town Hall very soon.

The Thurman Emergency Medical Services squad is welcoming some new members who have stepped forward to volunteer in helping others in their community.

Thanks go out to these new volunteers. Any one additional seeking information on volunteering on the local ambulance squad, call 6234254.

Pernas welcome new baby Amanda and Larry Perna of Fort Edward are proud to announce the birth of a baby boy born at Glens Falls Hospital on Jan. 18. He weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces; measures 20-plus inches long and is named Orion James.

Proud grandparents are Suzanne and George McKinney of Warrensburg and Sylvia and Larry Perna of Drexel Road, Thurman.

Welcome to this world, Olivia May! Annmarie Zekus and Scott Castro of Granville are proud to announce the birth of a daughter born Jan. 23 at Glens Falls Hospital. The girl weighed 5 pounds, 8 ounces, 19 inches long and is named Olivia May. Proud grandparents are Cathy McMurry of Fort Ann and Richard Zekus of Granville; and Bonnie and Sean Cameron of Thurman.

On a personal note Folks celebrating birthdays this week include Nathan Herrmann on Feb. 12, Trudy Siletti on Feb. 13,

Karen Ward on Feb. 15, Millie Venton and Merlin Russell on Feb. 16, Theresa Stannard on Feb. 17 and Ed Baker, Jr. on Feb. 18.

Anniversaries to be celebrated are those of Myron & Lillie Cameron on Feb. 14 and Reggie & Gail Needham, Feb. 17.

We all wish speedy recoveries to those who are ill at this time: Suzie Baker, Ken Ackley, Myron Cameron, Brenda Webster, Diane Golden, Ed Binder, Sally Feihol, Bob Mosher and Cindy Crandall.

Sympathy from the community goes out to the family of Joe Galusha who passed away at the TriCounty Nursing Home in North Creek Jan. 28.

Sumner said he plans to develop trails in the woods for short hikes, and perhaps to have several horses on the property for recreational riding.

Sumner said his knowledge of the challenges returning soldiers and veterans face prompted him to launch Turning Point. Sumner, from Vermont, is a Marine Corps veteran who served in the Persian Gulf, attained a culinary arts degree, then went on to serve as an executive chef for such hotel chains as Radisson and Ramada.

While providing a serene, supportive environment in the veterans home, Sumner said he will be providing counseling, advocacy, and steering the former soldiers toward various resources that help integrate them

“Everybody has been so genuinely friendly,” he said.

Thurman Supervisor Evelyn Wood said, “I’m pretty excited about the concept of a veterans home in town.

I’m pleased they feel Thurman is a nice place for veterans to come back and get readjusted to life — and it’s good to see the Z-Place building utilized.”

Adirondack Sports Complex dome collapses QUEENSBURY— Due to the weight of recent snow and ice, the roof of the Adirondack Sports Complex in Queensbury collapsed last weekend.

weeks for jury selection and then anything else that could have popped up,” Sprague said. “The trial could have come down to a battle of experts.”

Sprague said that while she did not want to “nickel and dime justice,” she was pleased that the deal would result in a savings of about $250,000.

“I wasn’t holding my breath at this point,” Sprague said. “But he did accept the deal and also waived the right to appeal.”

Sprague said that the deal was presented to Collard after discussions with the family while a deadline of Friday, Feb. 4 was approaching.

“I had sat down with the family some time ago and discussed offering a Manslaughter first-degree plea,” Sprague said. “The public defender advised me Wednesday (Feb. 2) that he would take the plea, and then we got him into the court as fast as we could before the Friday deadline passed.”

Sprague said that the deal helped June Collard’s family members in two aspects.

“They wanted their mother ’s remains back as quick as possible, which

keith@denpubs.com MINERVA — Just over 30 years after June Hopkins Collard of Olmstedville went missing, her husband finally told the family what they had always suspected — he killed her.

Thomas A. Collard pled guilty Feb. 3 to first-degree manslaughter in Essex County Court, ending a 30-year-old cold case which was re-opened last year due to a confession by Collard in July to police in Alabama.

“I was headed into trial mode, and to hear this was a pleasant surprise,” Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said about hearing Collard would agree to a plea deal. “A trial wasn’t really what the family wanted because they did not want to re-live this and they wanted to get the remains back as soon as possible so they could care for them properly.”

The trial was expected to start on Feb. 28, and Sprague said that her office was ready for the long haul.

“We were looking at a trial that could have lasted a month, another two

was never going to happen in a trial,” Sprague said. “Tammy Vanderwerker (Collard’s daughter) wanted to hear it from his mouth.”

June Collard was reported missing from her Olmstedville home in November 1980. At the time, Thomas Collard said that her wife had run off to Texas with a male friend.

However, suspicions around the community often pointed the finger at Collard, who was living in a Samson, Ala. prison. After some new information emerged, New York State Police officers visited Collard in Alabama and interviewed him, leading to excavation of Collard’s former property in Olmstedville.

Mrs. Collard’s remains were found a short time later, leading to Collard being charged and eventually accepting a plea deal.

In court Feb. 3, Collard declared that he had hit his wife during an heated argument in the kitchen at their home.

The force of the punch sent her through a door, striking her head on a hot water tank.

Mr. Collard said he then checked for vital signs and, upon finding her apparently dead, dumped her out of a bathroom window into a pit, covering her remains with dirt and lime in order to mask the smell.

PLATTSBURGH — A trial date has been set for May 4 for Anthony Pavone, who is accused of having murdered Patricia Howard and Timothy Carter Jan. 31, 2010.

Pavone, 52, along with his attorney John Carney, District Attorney Andrew Wylie, and Judge Patrick McGill, met Jan. 31 to discuss the case. A pre-trial hearing has been set for May 3.

Previously, for the last three years, the campaign goal was at $700,000, down from the 2007 goal of $750,000.

“It feels great,” said Bernardi of getting back to the goal from 2007. “Obviously the economy has created a challenge for us for the last three years or so. We face that challenge again as we went into this campaign, but at the same time we have added another county to our service area. We felt that it was important, despite the economy, that we raise the goal and we raise the

expectations of the region.”

Bernardi also took time during the meeting to not only announce the total raised, but what that money means.

“We’re happy that we made the goal, but a number is just a number,” he said.

“What is more important is the impact that our United Way is able to make throughout the region.”

“We anticipate that our network of health and human service organizations, 36 partner agencies, will provide some level of service to over 80,000 people during 2011,” Bernardi added.

“It’s our friends, it’s our neighbors, it’s our family members and because of that we’re able to make a great impact.”

What’s up at the VICs? Colleges re-inventing former APA visitor centers

Hikers spend night in snow cave

By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com (Editor's note: This is Part One of a fivepart series on the current status of the Visitor Interpretive Centers (VICs), which were operated by the Adirondack Park Agency from 1989 to 2010.)

NEWCOMB — Fresh snow blanketed tree branches in the forest, the sun glowed in the blue sky, and temperatures hovered around 20 degrees. Ski event coordinators dream of conditions like these, and Saturday, Jan. 29 had all the makings for a day filled with family fun.

Yet, as the Chili Ski Tasting event got under way at the Paul Smiths VIC, everyone was a little uneasy.

It was the same building, but with a new owner. Paul Smith’s College officials didn’t know what to expect, and, as they searched for light switches and electrical outlets in their newest building, they had one big question on their minds: Would people come and enjoy themselves like they had for the past decade of ski festivals when the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) owned the building?

By early afternoon, their question had been answered, and they breathed a collective sigh of relief as dozens of families did indeed come and enjoy themselves, eating chili and cake made by culinary arts students, skiing and snowshoeing on the vast trail system groomed the day before, and taking sleigh rides with two of the college’s draft horses. The smiles were proof that people had a good time, and the event —aimed at showing everyone that the trails are still open to the public — was deemed a success.

While this was the first event since Paul Smith’s College took over the 24,500-square-foot building from the APA on Jan. 1, the transformation from a Visitor Interpretive Center to the college’s version of the VIC is still in its formative stages. Officials at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), too, are still trying to define the role of their new Adirondack Interpretive Center (AIC) in Newcomb, formerly known as the Newcomb VIC, after taking over the 6,000-square-foot building on July 1, 2010 and the public programming on Jan. 1.

After all, it was only a year ago when then Gov. David Paterson announced in his budget address that the APA would be closing the VICs in Paul Smiths and Newcomb to save over $500,000 annually and help the state close a multi-billion-dollar budget gap. And, as 2010 progressed and the VIC Transition Steering Committee was formulating ideas to keep the two centers open to the public, in one form or another, both colleges had less than a year to come up with solid plans that would fund the buildings’ operations.

For many, Jan. 29 was an emotional day at the Chili Ski Tasting event in Paul Smiths. Event organizers from the college and the VIC friends group, the Adirondack Park Institute, were hoping for a warm public reception. The longtime volunteers who had once assisted APA staff with environmental education programs and special events were now working with a new owner they don’t know very well. Some former VIC staff and current APA staff were enjoying the festivities, witnessing history in the making while reminiscing about the many memories they had made there. And the public was simply curious.

Susan Sweeney, Paul Smith’s College director of human resources, helped organize the Jan. 29 event and was taking photographs during the day. She serves on the VIC Transition Steering Committee and has made many memories herself at the VIC. “There is so much nostalgia here,” Sweeney said in an interview the day

before the event. “We want to take what is here, modify it and improve it.”

This year, Paul Smith’s College will begin transforming the VIC from an interpretive center into a public building with exhibits, programs and new tenants, including the Adirondack Center for Writing, which has outgrown its office space in the college’s administration building. In addition to environmental education, there will be an emphasis on outdoor recreation and the arts. And new trail events will be held on the VIC property, which was initially a 2,885-acre preserve owned by the college and leased by the APA. A new lease agreement in 2009 reduced the preserve to about 1,400 acres. The college owns more than 14,000 acres.

The chili, hot drinks and cake made for a party-type atmosphere on Jan. 29.

It showed that the building was slowly coming back to life again after sitting empty, save for a few maintenance workers, for 28 days. APA staff had closed the building to the public at the end of the day on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010 — Columbus Day weekend — so they could pack up and move out before literally giving it to Paul Smith’s College on Jan. 1. The trails remained open throughout the transition.

In Newcomb, the two-phase transition began in June 2010 and finished six months later. Originally, the Paul Smiths and Newcomb buildings were expected to be handed over to new owners on Jan. 1, 2011, with the APA staff given that long to keep their jobs; however, since the SUNY-ESF fiscal year begins on July 1, it was decided to give the building to the college — “turn-key” style — at that time. Therefore, June 30 was the last day the APA owned the Newcomb VIC. APA staff continued to offer public programming there until Dec. 30, their last day of APA employment. SUNY-ESF took over programming on Jan. 1 at the newly named Adirondack Interpretive Center, which sits on 236 acres in the college-managed Huntington Wildlife Forest.

Like his colleagues at Paul Smith’s College, Paul Hai, program coordinator at SUNY-ESF’s AIC and nearby Adirondack Ecological Center, is also trying to reassure the public that the Newcomb building is still open. And while the mission will change, with interpretation of the Adirondack Park’s natural and cultural resources as a fo-

cus rather than visitor services, the college has made it clear that there are many years of public education left at the Newcomb facility.

“We are here for the long haul,” said Hai, who has worked closely with VIC staff on programs since moving to Newcomb in 2008. “The APA made a tough choice … We're really hoping we can lessen that blow by keeping this center open.”

In all, the APA cut eight full-time staff positions at the VICs in December, four at each facility. Two employees from the Paul Smiths building were able to transfer to APA headquarters in Ray Brook.

Star Lake naturalist Peter O’Shea has known many of the APA employees since he began leading trail walks at the Paul Smiths VIC when it opened in 1989 and the Newcomb VIC when it opened in 1990. He was mingling with some of his friends at the Chili Ski Tasting event after taking a snowshoe trip on the Boreal Life Trail. He saw tracks of a river otter, fisher, red fox, two coyotes, half a dozen white-tailed deer, and a snowshoe hare. A former volunteer, he was also one of the curious visitors.

“It’s a wonderful day,” O’Shea said, looking around at the lobby full of people. “They (Paul Smith’s College) have made a wonderful start.”

Although the Paul Smiths VIC and Newcomb AIC are still open to the public, neither facility will continue their former role as official New York State visitor centers, welcoming the traveling public to the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park. Annual visitation has been between 20,000 and 30,000 at the Newcomb center and between 60,000 and 75,000 at the Paul Smiths center.

“The Adirondack Park is now without an official visitor center,” O’Shea said. “So there is something that is missing and the state will have to rectify.”

The Newcomb AIC building is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, and the trails are open daily from dawn to dusk. Call (518) 582-2000 for more information. Admission is free. The Paul Smith’s College VIC building is not currently open to the public; however, the trails are open daily from dawn to dusk and may be used for free.

Call the PSC Conference Services Department at (518) 327-6430 for more information.

Port Henry man pleads to petit larceny ELIZABETHTOWN — On Feb. 4, John Maye, 47, of Port Henry, pled guilty to petit larceny and made restitution in the amount of $2,350.

Maye was charged with five counts of offering a false instrument for filing first degree, class E felonies, and four counts of Welfare Fraud fifth degree, class A misdemeanors.

It is alleged Maye defrauded the Home Energy Assistance Program of between 2006 and 2010 by submitting applications containing false statements. He was arraigned on Dec. 16, before town justice William Garrison in Elizabethtown.

The case was transferred to the Town Court Town of Moriah where a plea was accepted by town justice Jeff Farnsworth.

RAY BROOK — Two men got lost while skiing in the Dix Mountain Wilderness over the weekend and had to spend the night in a snow cave.

Officials with the state Department of Environmental Conservation Region 5 headquarters in Ray Brook say the two skiers got lost after skiing up Dix Mountain Saturday afternoon, Feb. 5.

Christopher Yankee, 35, of Slaterville Springs and 21year-old John Armstrong of Olivebridge reportedly took the wrong route while descending the mountain.

After sunset, it began snowing. Officials say the skiers built a cave to keep warm and spent the night in the wilderness.

DEC forest rangers began searching for the men after receiving a call at 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Several rangers checked trailheads, while other trekked toward Dix Mountain.

They were later found on state Route 73, just a few miles from the Dix Mountain trailhead. In an email sent to WNBZ, DEC Region 5 spokesman David Winchell said the men were found in “good shape.”

Bookkeeper charged in theft QUEENSBURY — A Chestertown bookkeeper has been accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars form the homeowners association for which she worked.

Lynn N. Bennett, 51, of Knapp Hill Road was charged with counts of grand larceny, forgery and falsifying business records — totalling more than 23 counts.

Bennett worked for Green Mansions resort complex for roughly 30 years.

The amount of money stolen amounted to more than $200,000, according to State Police.

Police said she wrote checks to herself and the made false entries in ledgers to cover the theft.

ACC cancels spring trip to Egypt QUEENSBURY — Adirondack Community College announced Tuesday that it has canceled a planned International Studies trip to Egypt in the spring dur to the country’s current unrest.

“We believe it is in our best interest to postpone the Egypt class,” said Valerie Haskins, professor of anthropology and archaeology at ACC and an International Studies advisor. “We will offer an alternative trip to transfer their funds.

An alternative destination is being researched.

“We will monitor the situation in Egypt carefully, and if safety issues, infrastructure issues and other issues are stable with a few months, we may be able to do the trip in January,” Haskins said.

Two arrest for drug sales WARRENSBURG — Two Warrensburg residents were arrested last week for drug charges relating to the sale of prescription medications consisting of Fentanyl patches and Diazepam.

Merle HumisMerle Frank ton, age 56, and her Humiston Salvaggio son Frank V. Salvaggio III, age 33, following a several month investigation into the sale of prescription medications by the Warren County Sheriff ’s Narcotic Enforcement Unit and the Capital District Drug Enforcement Task Force.

Humiston was charged with one count of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance 3rd degree, a class B felony, and one count of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance 5th degree, a class D felony.

Salvaggio was charged with two counts of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance 5th degree, a class D felony.

Both were arraigned in Warren County Court. Humiston was released to appear at a later date and Salvaggio was sent to the Warren County Correctional Facility with bail set at $5000.00 cash or $10,000.00 bond.

The investigation remains ongoing and additional arrests are expected.

Arrest made after snowmobile accident CHESTERTOWN — Warren County Sheriff ’s Office responded to a snowmobile accident with injury on Fox Lane last week.

An investigation showed the operator failed to negotiate a left hand turn and became airborne and struck several trees.

William M. Eddy, age 50, of Fishkill was airlifted to Albany Medical for treatment of injuries that were not lifethreatening. He was arrested for common law Snowmobiling While Intoxicated and ticketed for imprudent speed after refusing a blood test. He is scheduled to appear in the Chestertown Court at a later date.

the event was attended by reporters for both the New York Times and New York Daily News, and articles published in Sunday editions.

They depicted the off-kilter fun and fanaticism that annually characterizes the races, and the fun spirit of various carnival activities Carnival organizer Kathi Kokalas predicted the publicity might boost the crowds for the Carnival’s three remaining weekends in February.

“Omigod, coverage like that is phenomenal, just amazing,” she said.

“We’re always trying to reach people all over the Northeast, and these articles will touch base with them.”

Kokalas and others characterized the outhouse race as one of the best ever because of the 2011 participants’ enthusiasm and creativity.

Talent in this latter regard was demonstrated by Adirondack Studios of Argyle, a set design and fabrication company that normally creates scenery and props for Broadway, operas and corporate conventions — a far cry from an outhouse race.

Adirondack Studios designed the “Leaki Tiki,” a Polynesian themed rig with a faux-stone god, luau torches and competitors in grass skirts and some wearing coconut-half bikini tops.

Another rig they built and sponsored was a fancifully shaped shack that was fashioned in a wind-swept curve. Yet another entry of theirs resembled a Batmobile.

Kokalas said she personally heard the enthusiasm as she ladled out dollops of chili in a cook-off near the real

outhouses, the rest rooms at the beach.

“It sounded like the outhouse racers were having a blast over there,” she said. “Everyone had so much fun.”

Mid-afternoon, the myriad of Carnival activities were doused with heavy snowfall, but the crowd continued to have fun, she said.

Late afternoon Saturday brought the Mardi Gras parade which was extended to celebrate the Winter Carnival’s 50th anniversary. The procession included zumba dancers, firefighters and their equipment, a tooth-fairy character, a hot-air balloonist on a flatbed truck blasting a gas flame from his basket, and — of course — veteran Carnival King Tito Montalvo, event co-chairman, who was dressed in a red cape as he rode an ATV. Kokalas and her husband piloted a vehicle with a lit-up polar bear on top, towing a trailer with an inflated snowman surrounded by Carnival volunteers throwing out glow-sticks to children along the route.

Such fun continues Saturday and Sunday Feb. 12 and 13.

Motor-vehicle enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the sanctioned motorcycle and ATV ice racing competitions, in which the vehicles careen around oval tracks, spitting out clouds of ice shards. The races are set for both days, and registration begins at 9 a.m.

Saturday also features a barbecue cook-off at noon, and the Radio disney Family Show from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

The afternoon is capped off with a public bonfire at 4 p.m. complete with s’mores — ingredients provided. Fireworks are to follow.

as his team defeated previously unbeaten San Diego State.

Following that game, Fredette was interviewed by ESPN and his talents went viral — NBA stars showered him with compliments on Twitter, which was flooded with Jimmerchatter.

County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dan Stec said it was time to publicize the county as Fredette’s hometown, as his fame was likely to soar even more. The recent Glens Falls High School graduate was likely to break Danny Ainge’s BYU and NCAA scoring records, plus be chosen as NCAA Player of the Year and become a first-round draft pick, Stec predicted.

“His success has already raised awareness of Glens Falls, and there’s an opportunity for the county now to build off that interest,” Stec said. “Jimmer Fredette would be a great ambassador for the county.”

Minutes after a meeting Feb. 4 about Jimmer promotion between Stec, tourism officials and county Budget Officer Kevin Geraghty, county tourism promoters were at work on the project.

Adworkshop President Tom Connors, county Tourism Director Cate Johnson and county Tourism Creative Director Peter Girard discussed strategies of how to promote the Jimmer connection — on both the airwaves and the Internet — while staying within the NCAA’s strict restrictions to protect players’ amateur status.

mitting — and a variety of children’s activities and fun games for both youth and adults on the ice from noon to 2 p.m. A giant ice slide in Shepard Park is available during daylight hours. The Carnival also includes a new Skydiving Swoop Competition daily over the frozen lake.

Also returning for both Saturday and Sunday are tethered hot-air balloon rides, children's indoor crafts and games from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. — inside King Neptune's tavern.

New helicopter excursions join the ever-popular dog-sled rides and skydiving sessions over the ice — all available for a fee.

Sunday features the Tavern Competition, which involves people putting their waitstaff skills to the test.

The most popular attraction, however, is the Polar Plunge with dozens of brave swimmers dashing into the frigid lake — a favorite spectator event set for 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday following the snowmobile water skip.

Lake George Mayor Blais said that for 50 years, the Carnival has been the prime attraction for visitors and residents in the winter. Wherever he travels, people ask him about the Winter Carnival, he added.

“It’s always been a great venue for the Village,” he said. “It injects life into all of the region — helping businesses survive until spring.”

Blais added that the national publicity would give the Carnival’s fame an additional boost.

“Oh, gosh, you can’t match publicity like that,” he said. “It will be good to let an even larger audience know that Lake George is alive and well in the middle of a difficult winter.”

The tourism gurus said the television commercials might include segments showing highlights of Jimmer Fredette’s high school games interspersed with scenes of Warren County’s skiing, snowmobiling, hot-air ballooning, boating, hiking and other recreational opportunities.

The ads, Johnson said, would probably also feature the New York State public high school basketball championship games, which are held in Glens Falls.

Johnson said the commercials would likely air in Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York City, New Jersey and the New York City area during the weekend of Saturday Feb. 26, when a “Game of the Week” episode featuring Fredette is scheduled to be aired, she said. As of this week, he achieved the status as the all-time leading scorer for the Mountain West Conference of the NCAA. Stec noted that Glens Falls Ward Supervisor William Loeb had initiated the idea of riding Jimmer ’s coattails. At a recent Board of Supervisors Tourism Committee meeting, Loeb had suggested that the tourism department take action immediately to take advantage of Jimmer Fredette’s sudden stardom.

“Jimmer is now a tremendous national celebrity, and we should do everything we can to take advantage of his fame to promote Warren County,” he said. “Communities rarely have this kind of opportunity in a lifetime.”

Johnsburg Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed offered a suggestion, only partially in jest.

“How about the slogan, ‘When Jimmer skis, Jimmer skis Gore!’” he quipped.

Sport fish benefitting from alewife diet

Alewives, shown in the picture above, were first discovered in Lake Champlain in 2008. They are quickly making thier presence known, contributing to a rapid growth spurt among sport fish who are now feeding heavily on the non-native herring-like fish.

A

re the perch in Lake Champlain getting bigger on average?

Just ask the alewives.

While fisheries biologists have their concerns about the long-term repercussions alewives will have on salmonoids like lake trout and landlocked salmon, in the short term they are making their presence known in the form of bigger sport fish.

Lake Champlain anglers are reporting larger fish on average across the board, and long-time records for the lake are being shattered every day.

In one recent outing, a buddy of mine landed a 14inch perch that tipped the scale at a pound and threequarters. That same day, three of us easily had 50 perch of 10 inches or better.

Personally, I’ve never seen it any better — and the fish are eating it up.

The catalyst for the change is pretty apparent.

Cleaning one football-sized perch yesterday I counted 15 alewives in its stomach.

And it probably burped up three or four more on the ice.

When biologists first identified the non-native Atlantic fish in Lake Champlain in 2008, many were quick to point out its potential negative effects. They die off in great numbers each spring, turning local beaches into a smelly mess of rotting fish.

They also contain a chemical that biologists say impacts the ability of salmonoids to reproduce — which has had a negative effect in the Great Lakes.

But the reality is no one can say with accuracy what the long-term effect will be on the Lake Champlain fishery.

And no one will argue that the short-term effect has been bigger fish.

Norm St. Pierre, who owns Norm’s Bait and Tackle in Crown Point, said anglers are happily reporting just that.

He said one perch fisherman brought in three, five-gallon buckets filled with perch to sell, and the average weight of each was over one pound.

“There is no doubt they are having a huge impact on the lake,” St. Pierre said of the alewife population. “If people

Elizabethtown resident Bill Kohen shows a 14-inch perch he caught this winter on Lake Champlain. The fish weighed a pound and three-quarters. Anglers have noted catching larger sport fish in the lake since alewives were discovered. just wait a few years, I think you’ll see some absolutely huge fish.”

St. Pierre pointed to the state’s recent effort to stock brown trout in Lake Champlain and said they are growing at the rate of a few pounds per year, now tipping the scale at 7 and 8 pounds.

He said lake trout and salmon are prospering as well.

The average for each has gone up several pounds since alewives were introduced as a forage fish.

“The average salmon used to be just a few pounds, now it is more like 5 to 7 pounds, and now that they’ve broke the 18-pound mark with lakers, it is just a matter of time before someone lands a 20-pounder,” St. Pierre said.

At the same time, St. Pierre believes the smelt population remains healthy. He said Mother Nature has forced them to adapt to live with alewives, forcing them deep in 100-200 feet of water where alewives don’t like to go.

“People just don’t fish for smelt there, which is why you don’t see the type of catches we used to have,” he said.

“They are out in the main lake now, not in places where they were traditionally caught.”

An old fashioned Adirondack winter

D

espite the ever-growing evidence of climate change, it appears that most of the region has been graced with a good old-fashioned winter.

The snow has been deep, the ice thick and temperatures have remained frighteningly cold.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the return of a traditional winter is like visiting with an old friend. It provides an opportunity to share old memories and relish the natural gifts of hard ice and fresh snow.

It has been a very interesting week in the Adirondacks, where the wild, winter weather has delivered an unique assortment of nature’s finest products, ranging from ice and snow, to thunder and lightning, with just a dash of sunshine.

During the weekend’s big storm, flashes of lightning illuminated the falling snow, and the muffled rumble of thunder could be heard in the distance.

News reports of thunder-snow in Chicago had alerted me to this natural, meteorological oddity. If not for the lightning, the odd sound of winter thunder could easily have been mistaken for the rumblings of a passing snowplow.

This season, the snowplows have been busy! Along area roadsides, snowbanks have grown in proportions equal to the icicles hanging from local buildings.

The growing snowbanks have restored my childhood memories of digging snow caves and building snow forts.

These traditions have been rather limited in recent years, due to the meager snowfall, but currently, the potential is great.

In Saranac Lake, the Winter Carnival’s newest competitive event is a Grow the Longest Icicle Contest. The winner of the contest will receive a free energy audit for the building that produced the icicle.

I don’t know if the new competition will outshine the popular Frying Pan Toss, but it will be interesting to see the results. It will be curious to learn how many potential icicle entries are lost in the process of harvesting them from the eves.

A slew of potential entries that are currently hanging outside my window, appear as cold steely bars, sealing me in. Although I enjoy gazing at them, I know they’ll have to be removed soon.

Hiking trails, go figure In last week’s column, I took a look at the Adirondack’s established hiking trail infrastructure. I detailed the commonly reported total of “2,000 miles of marked hiking trails in the Adirondacks.”

I questioned the veracity of this long held tally in light of a study that reveals the nation’s hiking trail infrastructure has greatly diminished over the years.

In National Forests, the United States has lost over 32,000 miles of established hiking trails since the 1930’s, for

a net lose of almost 25 percent of all hiking trails. The study’s authors Bruce Hampton and David Cole explained the public's use of trails has grown steadily.

For every person hiking a trail in 1960, more than three people now leave their bootprints.

I am pleased to report that the total mileage of established hiking trails in the Adirondack region has not diminished since the 1950’s. In fact, the total of trail mileage has increased by 517 miles, according to the latest GIS information available from NYSDEC. In the High Peaks region, there were 384 miles of marked hiking trails in 1956, according to Tony Goodwin, author of the Adirondack Mountain Club’s High Peaks Trail Guide.

By Goodwin’s reckoning, in 2003, there were 475 miles of trails in the High Peaks, an addition of over 90 miles of new trails.

Although the overall trail mileage of the Adirondack region has experienced an increase 25 percent in the last half of a century, estimates of current trail use has increased by over 1,000 percent during the same timeframe. This total is especially evident in the Eastern High Peaks Wilderness, which attracts estimates of over 175,000 visitors annually.

While the High Peaks Wilderness Complex comprises less than 8 percent of the total state acreage in the Adirondacks, it continues to attract over 75 percent of visiting backcountry travelers. As one hiker explained, “What's the sense in going to the Adirondacks, if you don’t climb Mt. Marcy.”?

Backcountry Skiing The allure of the High Peaks Wilderness is not limited to just three season users. The region draws an active winter audience due to the tremendous opportunities for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing.

The popularity is not surprising, especially considering the fact that many of the High Peaks trails were originally designed for skiers, prior to the advent of ski centers and lift assisted skiing. In fact, the primary approach to Mt. Marcy, from Marcy Dam via Indian Falls was established in the 1920’s, and it is still considered the premier backcountry ski trail in the Eastern United States.

Skiers interested in current backcountry conditions should visit Drew Haas’ new web site at www.adkbcski.com for up to date snow and trail reports, snow forecasts and related links for skiing in the High Peaks. Hass, who works at The Mountaineer, is an accomplished backcountry skier and author of the Adirondack

Rob Breyette of Lake Placid enjoys skiing the fresh powder while tackling a local backcountry run.

Slide Guide.

With over a foot and a half of fresh snow over the weekend, backcountry ski conditions are ideal. However, the NYSDEC has posted an advisory. Avalanche Conditions: Snows have accumulated to sufficient depths on Adirondack mountain slopes to create conditions conducive to avalanches. Avoid traveling on open areas with slopes between 25 & 50 degrees and no vegetation. Never travel alone, carry proper safety equipment; and inform someone where you will be traveling.

Burgher wrestlers score upset wins in Sectionals

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Some of the talented, league-leading wrestlers in the region with formidable reputations have been shouldering a heavy load: high expectations.

Warrensburg’s grapplers helped relieve several of those talented wrestlers of their burden Saturday, Feb. 5 as they scored some key upset victories.

No less than nine Burgher wrestlers placed in the top six slots in Section II Class D competition.

Two Burgher standouts, Jon Vaisey and Lucas Nelson, took top honors in their weight classes — 103 pounds and 160 pounds respectively. They are both Juniors.

Denver Berry placed second in the 125 weight class and Nick Nedelcu was third at 119. Both are Freshmen.

Beecher Baker at 112 pounds, Masyn Morey at 130, and Zach Baer at 152 all achieved fifth place. Desmon Allen at 189 and Tony Auricchio at 285 both placed sixth.

This total team effort, with nine of 13 getting on the tally board, won Warrensburg an admirable fourth place in team rankings among a dozen competitors.

The feat impressed coach Mark Trapasso as it caught him by surprise, he said Tuesday.

“We were thrilled, and I couldn’t ask for more,” he said.

“All our kids wrestled well.”

Vaisey, Nelson, Berry, and Nedelcu all qualified for the upcoming regional state championship qualifiers.

Vaisey’s performance through the Sectional competition was compelling.

Warriors defeat traditional rivals Lake George 67, Warrensburg 33

LAKE GEORGE — For decades, sports showdowns between the neighboring high schools of Lake George and Warrensburg have prompted plenty of high spirits.

These communities, one exit apart on the I-87 Northway, have turned out in force to see some intense sports showdowns.

Friday Feb. 4, the crowd was robust in the Lake George gym, emotions were high, but the results were lopsided, as expected.

The Lake George Warriors, now ranked third in the state for Class C, is cruising through the 2010-11 season without a single loss — due to a deep talented roster.

Any night during this season, any one of the Warrior starters is likely to put up stunning statistics.

Feb. 4, it was Alex Hladik’s turn.

He put on a scoring show with 34 points, including two three-pointers as Lake George more than doubled Warrensburg’s score at 67-33.

Matt McGowan added 13 points for the Warriors. Matt Stover had four points and one three-pointer, Jeff Maldonado had four, J.D. Jenkins and Ryan Moll had three points, and Erik Jones finished with a basket in the win.

John Joseph led with 10 points for Warrensburg. Nick Monroe had eight with two three-pointers, Mike Curtis had seven, Corey Chadwell had five and Tyler Williams finished with three points in the loss. Curtis and Chadwell each had one three-pointer.

Hadley-Luzerne 60, North Warren 44

Burgher Freshman Denver Berry made a statement about the future of Warrensburg wrestling Saturday when he upset two of the top-seeded wrestlers in the Section II championship tournament to place second in Class D at 125 pounds. Here, Berry is shown against an opponent in a dual meet several weeks ago.

He muscled and out-maneuvered all his opponents, pinning them in the first period.

“Vaisey likes to go out and dominate quickly,” Trapasso said. “That’s his style.”

The athletic and talented Lucas Nelson, however, likes to Marciano put up 11 points in the win.

Nick Sapienza and Travis Monroe each scored 11 points for the Cougars and Sapienza had one three-pointer. Benn Frasier had 10, Joe Aiken put up four, Anthony Sapienza had two and Ethan Schenke had one point in the loss.

Corinth 46, North Warren 36

Hunter-Tannersville 52, Bolton Central 39

BOLTON LANDING — Bolton players put up some big numbers as three scored in the double figures, but couldn’t hold off Hunter-Tannersville Friday Feb. 4.

Caleb Kneeshaw put up six points with a three-pointer, Dustin French had five and Nathan Breault and Andy Smith had four points apiece. Matthew Smith finished with three and Todd Markham had one point in the win.

Girls Basketball Saratoga Catholic 42, Bolton Central 35

BOLTON LANDING — Saratoga Catholic held a decisive shooting advantage as they topped the Eagles Jan. 31.

Lindsey Meade chipped in four points, Chantal Millington had three points and, Ashley Meresca, Kiersten Williamson and Cassie Mayday each put up two points

draw out the suspense for the fans, Trapasso said.

Nelson tallied three decisions, two by only one point, the coach noted.

“Lucas is a more conservative wrestler,” Trapasso said.

“He continues to win matches, and it’s great. Attaining Class D champion is a big deal!”

But perhaps a string of upset victories may inspire even more adrenaline to flow in the veins of coaches.

Freshman Denver Berry, unseeded and unranked in the Sectional tourney, pinned the No. 2 seed wrestler, Sam Delarge of Albany Academy, then as an encore, beat No. 3 seed Skyler VanDerWerken of Schoharie to get to the finals.

In pinning Delarge, Berry came from behind and caught Delarge with a cradle. Against VanDerWerken, Berry racked up a 15-9 advantage for a dominant decision.

“This series of wins was a real big deal,” Trapasso said.

Berry lost to eventual champion Connor Lawrence 9-3 in a very competitive match.

Trapasso said his underclass wrestlers including Berry pulled out the surprise wins. At 119, Freshman Nick Nedelcu wrestled 3-1 for the day, losing only to the legendary John Diekel of Whitehall. ”All these guys be back next year, and hopefully they’ll continue their work ethic and skill development,” he said.

Trapasso said he’s anticipating some great matchups in the state championship qualifiers at the Civic Center Friday Feb. 11 and Saturday Feb. 12. Wrestling starts at 11:30 a.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturday.

“We’re looking forward to this weekend,” he said, adding that some more upset wins would be welcome. “We think our guys will be knocking off some of their opponents.” apiece in the win.
