Warren Co. hailed on 200th anniversary By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Warren County passed a historic milestone this week, and area government officials reached out to commemorate the occasion. March 12 was the 200th anniversary
of Warren County’s founding, and local town leaders, as well as a top Essex County official — plus aides to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Rep. Bill Owens — all presented proclamations of congratulations Friday March 15 to the Warren County Board of Supervisors at their monthly meeting. Also, state Assemblyman Dan Stec

with services, and an adult day care center at the 30-acre Westmount site. Fort Hudson would seek to build an assisted-living facility, senior housing and offer adult day care on the 30-acre parcel that the county is looking to sell along with Westmount. Fort Hudson CEO Andrew Cruik-

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Boys Basketball team combined a clever game plan, frenetic defense, a stellar performance by state tournament MVP Joel Wincowski — and a determined, focused and collaborative effort by each one of his teammates — to win the New York State Class C Basketball Championship Saturday March 16. The Warriors won the finals by defeating the far taller, top-ranked Pine Plains 35-45 in a come-frombehind victory. It was not only the first state championship for a boys sport at Lake George High, but also the first time since the late 1970s that any Section II school north of Schuylerville had won a state championship. Sophomore Joel Wincowski tallied 33 points accompanied by six steals and four rebounds. He scored seven threepointers, several of them at critical times that changed the game's momentum, foiling the imposing and talented Pine Plains team.
