Student intern for Denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Rachael Ray came home Friday, April 15 for her ninth annual show — a sellout — at Lake George High School, her alma mater, and the event delighted the audience of more than 530.

Each year through this show, Rachael “gives back wholeheartedly to her school,” Gloria Gilman of the Lake George Alumni Association said as she kicked off the event. The show raises thousands of dollars annually for school equipment and scholarships.

THIS WEEK

WARRENSBURG — The state’s ongoing effort to retire the familiar but problematical rustic highway guardrails in the Adirondacks continues to make progress as contractors are replacing the brown rusty rails with galvanized steel.

This past week, workmen were installing new gleaming guardrail along the Northway, among other chosen locations along highways in the Adirondacks.

Once touted as an environmental innovation, the rusty rails are now out of favor with the state Department of Transportation. Although the material was once envisioned as an environmental innovation — it never needs to be painted because it oxidizes to a pleasant weathered hue — the guardrails made of the exotic material have been failing prematurely.

Warrensburg leaders choose new board member, hire new employees WARRENSBURG — At a monthly town meeting held April 13, Warrensburg Town Board members appointed Kathleen Ferullo of North Warrensburg to the local Board of Assessment Review to fill the unexpired term of Teddy Kalisz, who resigned.

The town is currently recruiting others who wish to serve as other positions arise on the board, and applications for the post are to be delivered to the town supervisor ’s office.

Warrensburg’s annual Cleanup Days will be held April 25 - May 20. Town residents are encouraged to clean up brush and leaves which can be placed curb-

side according to set rules.

Leaves must be bagged, and the bags must be biodegradable, not plastic. Brush must be set curbside with the butt end facing the road. In conjunction with the cleanup, town highway workers will soon be starting to sweep the town roads.

The board approved requests for Occupancy Tax money from the Warrensburgh Historical Society in the amount of $2,675. The money will be used for publicity and membership in Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce.

This action cause some high pressure issues for some residents, and Geraghty apologized on behalf of the town for any inconvenience incurred to some households. All the breaks have been repaired, he reported. Several of the breaks were unavoidable, as they were due to the frost receding, town officials said.

ther details on the developments will be made available. Six land-use and development permits were issued last month and two septic permits were issued — all indications that the local economy is progressing in its recovery, Geraghty said.

It was announced the ultraviolet treatment apparatus at the town sewer plant has been completed and will be brought online April 15.

The town continues to work with the state Department of Health to boost water clarity and decrease leaching of minerals like copper. Soda ash is now being added to the system to raise the pH value of the water to minimize this effect.

Town employees reported that three water main breaks occurred last week. A break on the water main feed line near Ridge Ave. and River

It was announced that the town hired two new employees, one for the Water Department and a second one for the Sewer Department.

Town Assessor Greg Klingler noted that the tentative assessment roll is due to be published May 1. The local equalization rate is predicted to be 100 percent, subject to final approval of the state Office of Real Property Tax Services, Klingler said.

Warrensburg Town Court Report April 6 — Judge Mindy Fisk presiding • Mark L. Donohue, 22, of Wevertown, was charged with third-degree Rape, a Felony.

The victim in a statement said she and her boyfriend had a disagreement, and it turned physical — that he threw the phone, she went into the bedroom, and he forced the door open and yelled at her.

Her statement to police continues that Evans then got on top of her and started to choke her, she screamed, he pushed a pillow in her face to silence the screams, then he slapped her.

Connelly was committed to Warren County jail for lack of $1,000 bail.

• Michael White Jr., 36, of Ballston Spa, was convicted April 6 of Attempted Aggravated Harassment, and received a conditional discharge.

White was ordered to pay a $205 surcharge and attend an Alternative Sentencing Program and obey an order of protection.

Serial killer: ‘I have nothing to do with’ victims

By Jeremiah S. P apineau and Victor Manuel Ramos

Special to Denton Publications (Editor’s Note: The following article ran in the April 15 edition of Newsday, a daily newspaper that serves Nassau and Suffolk counties and the New York City borough of Queens on Long Island. Denton Publications editor Jeremiah S. Papineau was asked by Newsday to interview Joel Rifkin, a convicted serial killer currently serving a life sentence at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.)

DANNEMORA — Long Island serial killer Joel Rifkin said Thursday, April 14, none of the skeletal remains found recently in the expanding Gilgo Beach murder investigation were victims of his.

“I have nothing to do with those bodies,” he said matterof-factly during an interview at the maximum-security prison where he’s locked up for life.

Rifkin confessed to killing 17 women from the late 1980s into the early ‘90s. Four of the bodies were never found.

But Rifkin told Newsday that the South Shore barrier island where the remains of as many as 10 possible victims

have turned up since December was not one of his dumping grounds. It is not yet known how long the most recently found remains had been there.

Rifkin, 52, spoke for more than an hour at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., a remote village about 20 miles from the Canadian border.

The former horticulturist wore a green prison jumpsuit.

His graying hair was combed back in a ponytail. He wears bifocals and sports a goatee.

He doesn’t raise his voice when he speaks and, despite his crimes, he is unrestrained by handcuffs or chains when he meets guests at a visiting area.

Rifkin has been following the Gilgo Beach case through television news and has his own theory — at least regarding the four women who worked as prostitutes whose remains were the first to turn up in the brush off Ocean Parkway in Suffolk County.

He thinks the culprit could be a local whose line of work would allow him to go unnoticed if he carries burlap bags, like the clam fishermen who frequented the same South Shore area where he went fishing with his dad during

his childhood.

“My guess is it would be someone like a landscaper, contractor or a fisherman,” said Rifkin, who is serving the 15th year of a 203-year sentence for his killing spree.

He also said he believes the killings of the four prostitutes found along Gilgo Beach in December could be unrelated to the other remains found in recent weeks in Suffolk and Nassau counties. The four women went missing between 2007 and 2010.

Rifkin showed little emotion during the interview. But he paused when he said he now feels remorse for his trail of death and terror. The former East Meadow resident was convicted of nine of at least 17 murders of mostly drug-addicted prostitutes, some of whom he dismembered. He dumped their remains throughout Long Island, New York City and New Jersey. Rifkin explained why he targeted prostitutes.

He said he would have “no attachment” to the victims — meaning they could not be traced to him. This, he said, explains why the Gilgo Beach victims were chosen. As prostitutes, they were easy to entice. “That’s their job . . . to get into a stranger’s car,” he said.

Suffolk police did not respond specifically to questions about Rifkin, saying that “all avenues are being investigated.”

Experts said they did not see much investigative value in what Rifkin had to say.

While Rifkin could offer some insights into a psychopathic killer ’s mind, former FBI profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole said his musings are unreliable, if not entirely misleading.

Rifkin’s observations about the killer ’s profession are “speculative,” she said, because anyone could have access to burlap bags.

Plus, she added, every killer is different: “He has his experience as a serial killer, but he doesn’t have the training and the expertise” to speak about a case.

One area where expert investigators think Rifkin is telling the truth is when he says that, after all these years, he still does not understand why he killed his victims.

In what experts said is typical for serial killers like Rifkin, he implied that he is now a changed man, who probably would not have committed the murders if he had been taking Paxil — an antidepressant used to treat social phobias that he is now prescribed.

“It’s blame-it-on-anything with these guys,” said Steven Egger, a criminology professor at the University of Houston at Clear Lake who has interviewed several serial murderers.

Andrew Strickler contributed to this report.

Trip to Canada The Warrensburg 50-Plus Club is planning a five-day, four-night trip to Montreal and Quebec City scheduled for June 13 through 17.

The trip includes tours of historic and culturally significant sites in the two cities.

Among the activities are guided tours of the historic Old Montreal and Old Quebec City, visits to Notre Dame Basilica, St. Joseph’s Oratory/Shrine and a trip to the Montreal Casino.

Years ago, the rustic brown guardrails, made of an expensive oxidizing alloy CoreTen, were installed by the state along highways primarily in the Adirondacks and Catskills while they blended in well with the scenery. They were expected to rust on the surface, creating a barrier that would block further corrosion so they wouldn’t need painting.

But these rustic oxidized rails — that were supposed to last decades, have been only lasting a fraction of their expected lifespan.

The galvanized guardrails, which many think look ugly, can last 40 to 50 years.

Breen said DOT has so far spent $14.2 mil-

lion on the replacement project just within Region 1, and is likely to spend $25 million more, depending on the price of steel and prevailing labor.

Guardrail replacement has been completed along the following stretches of highway: state Rte. 9 in the towns of Chester and Lake George; state Rte. 8 in the Town of Horicon; state Rte. 418 in Warrensburg; state Rte. 9L in Warren County; portions of 1-87 Northway in Warren and Essex counties; Rte. 912Q in the town of Lake George; state Rte. Route 74 in the town of Schroon; state Rte. 9 in the town of Lewis; state Rte. 9N in Moriah, Elizabethtown and Corinth; state Rte. 22 in Westport and Essex; state Rte. 73 in Keene; and state Rte. 86 in the towns of Wilmington and Saranac Lake.

The door prize of an Easter bunny house was won by the Eastman family. In another contest, Catherine Hall provided the closest guess to the actual number of jelly beans contained in a jar.

People of all ages enjoyed the traditional holiday activities, said Hitchcock, who helped organize the event on behalf of the town Youth Commission.

“Everyone had a really good time,” she said. “People stayed until well after 3 p.m.”

Fundraiser for memory tree set A fundraiser featuring a sale of homemade confections is to be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 23 at the Warrensburg VFW Post on Main Street.

Proceeds will go towards a Japanese lilac tree to be planted on the grounds of Cornell Cooperative Extension as a memorial to departed teenager Courtney Mae Swinton, who took her own life about a year ago.

Irv West, who is organizing the tree-planting and accompanying ceremony set for May 19, said that Saturday’s fundraiser at the VFW will offer many homemade delicacies in time for Easter and Passover. Special treats available include homemade chocolate lollipops, he said. For details, call West at 623-3987.

Over the fence As soon as the days started getting warmer, turkeys began trotting around in the fields and roadways, local residents have reported. Even a lone Canada goose was back in his old habitat, just waiting for others to congregate.

Many folks are worrying about our local emergency squad. It ran fine in recent years as it was with just good hearted volunteers. Now everyone seems to want to change everything that kept our town “almost heaven” and peaceful. Recently, the squad leadership changed, but the controversy surrounding the squad operations hasn’t ceased. Let’s hope we can continue to have prompt emergency response, and that our local volunteers are still involved in one way or another.

Thurman Town Historian as we mentioned several weeks ago? The historian is seeking accounts from Thurmanites about women that have made a big difference in residents’ lives as well as those around her. Those responding can go back a generation or more to recount the impact of a person.

Our editor can think of a couple already — Edith Bills or Jean Reynolds, to name just two. Jot down some memories and send them off to the historian, who will undoubtedly be thankful for your help in this project.

Activities and Events in the hills The Thurman Connections Snowmobile Club plans to hold its regular meeting at the Thurman Town Hall at 7 p.m. Friday, April 29. For details, call 623-9234.

The townwide sale will soon be keeping our town busy with shoppers from near and far, browsing through the 100 sales in Thurman on May 13-15. Make sure you sign up at the town hall.

This TOPS program has been well-attended in recent years, but illness recently sidelined its leadership — and a new local program director is being sought. For details, call Debbie Allen at 792-2888.

THURMAN — A beloved holiday tradition is apparently thriving in Thurman.

The town Easter party held Saturday, April 16 attracted a capacity crowd to the town hall, with 81 children and far more adults attending, local officials said.

“It was huge — we were packed to the doors and had to set up more tables to accommodate everyone,” organizer Becky Hitchcock said, noting the party drew more attendees than in many prior years.

Children dyed Easter eggs and decorated them along with Easter bags they fashioned. They also enjoyed refreshments, followed by hunting no less than 800 eggs hidden outside the town hall. Children also participated in the Easter bonnet contest, showing off their garb to members of the Warren County Youth Court who served as judges.

Winning first place in the age 0-4 category of the competition was Whitney Cameron, followed by Maria Fruda and Kayla Arnold in the older age group, Desirae Prosser was chosen.

Opinion Adirondack Journal Editorial

Give the gift of life; sign up for organ donation

B

rock Marvin, a 17-year-old senior at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School, is alive today because someone donated his/her heart upon death. The heart was successfully transplanted in December, and Brock was back at school in February.

Organ donation is a grown-up decision, one made more complex by the fear of death and the difficulty of dealing with such an emotional topic. Yet this grown-up decision gave Brock a fighting chance at becoming a grown-up and living a long and healthy life.

People don’t have to die in order to donate an organ. A heart, yes, but not a kidney. Such was the case in December, when Westport resident Ben Sudduth donated a kidney to Westport Central School senior Molly Rascoe. She had been on dialysis for more than a year. By January, she was back on the basketball court playing for the varsity girls team.

We urge you to sign up for organ donation. About 97 percent of organ donors sign up through the Department of Motor Vehicles by filling out the “anatomical gift” information on the back of their driver's licenses.

People can also place their names on the New York State Donate Life Registry online at www.nyhealth.gov. Anyone can donate organs as long as they are 18 years old.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors officially recognized April as National Donating Life Month during a recent meeting. Brock, Molly and Ben were all there.

We’re just following their lead and asking people to make the selfless gift of their vital organs when the time is right.

After the surgery, Brock’s father said he thought about the family of the person who died and gave the heart to his son: “You just hate to think about what they are going through, but you hope that they would look at Brock and see that their decision or the decision of their loved one is the reason why he is living today.”

Due to strict hospital protocol, organ recipients don’t always get to know the names of their donors or meet their families. It’s up to the donor ’s side of the family to make the first move.

“We would love to meet them and just have the chance to thank them,” Brock’s

father said in December.

A Warrensburg family — the Winslows — last week met the man who received the heart of their son, 24-year-old Ryan Winslow, who died in 2006 after a boating accident on Lake George.

Their decision to donate Ryan’s heart saved the life of Gary Antognioni, a Bennington, Vt. man who had been fighting for his life.

We’re sure his wife and three children appreciated the gift. The Antognionis recently moved to South Carolina, where the Winslows traveled for their spring break meeting.

Ryan’s mom put the donation in perspective: “It means so much to me that Ryan’s heart is still beating.”

Ryan’s liver and kidneys were also donated to sick people in need.

Organ donation FAQs Why are organ, eye and tissue donations needed?

There is a severe shortage of organs for life-saving transplants. In addition to those New Yorkers awaiting organ transplants, thousands more benefit from tissue donation such as skin for burn victims or eye donations for sight-restoring cornea transplants. Without these surgeries, they will die or remain disabled. Transplants give people a chance to resume full, productive lives.

Who can become a donor?

Anyone can decide to become a donor. A person’s medical history or age does not automatically exclude him or her from being a donor. Do not rule yourself out. Medical professionals will determine your suitability for donation at the time of your death.

Is there any cost to my estate or family for donating my organs, eyes and tissues?

No. There are no costs to your estate or family for you to be a donor.

•100 Years Ago – April, 1911• Youth sacrifices life for his lover Arthur Kingsley, 17, of Adirondack gave up his life Sunday, April 10, 1911 in a successful attempt to save the life of his sweetheart, Miss Edna Avery of Ossining. Young Kingsley had been visiting for several months past with his grandmother, Mrs. J. Freeman Wells of Ossining and had been Miss Avery’s constant companion.

The two young folk started for a walk and were strolling along the track of the New York Central railroad. Because of the high embankment they did not see the southbound train approaching but when they heard it, they leisurely crossed to the other track into the path of the northbound train which they had not heard coming because the noise had deafened them. The express was only a few feet away when Kingsley saw it bearing down upon them and he hurled the girl down the embankment but could not save himself from being crushed beneath the wheels and being mortally injured.

So quick was his action to save the girl that she was hurled with great force rolling over and over down the bank for nearly 50 feet, stopping within a few feet of the Hudson River and being badly scratched and bruised. The boy was removed to the home of Ella Wells, his grandmother, where he later died.

Arthur Kingsley was the son of Charles Kingsley of Adirondack, where his remains were taken. He had three sisters, Mabelle, Anita and Muriel Kingsley and four brothers, Forest, Horace, Charles and Thomas Kingsley. Among the many floral tributes at

the funeral was a pillow of white flowers bearing in purple the words, “My Hero,” sent from Ossining by the young lady whose life he had saved. Burial was in the Leggett Cemetery, Chestertown.

A bitter potion ends in death The case of Daniel V. Weller, as administrator of Lillian B. Weller, against E. Ferris Cromley and Dewitt Schermerhorn, druggists of Fort Ann, for negligence was called April 14, 1911 in the Supreme Court of Hudson Falls.

The action resulted from the death of Miss Weller of Fort Ann which occurred about a year ago and which the father claims was due to negligence on the part of the druggists. The young women was not feeling well and asked her sweetheart Frank Hill, formerly of Warrensburgh, to go to the drug store and get some powdered medicine for her. He did as directed but according to the allegations of the plaintiff, instead of being given the proper medicine he asked for, was given a poison by mistake.

The case was bitterly contested by attorneys on both sides. The jury brought in a verdict of no cause for action.

A sad ending Wilbur Ramsey, 27, of Luzerne died Saturday, April 4, 1911 after a long illness of tuberculosis of the lungs. He was the son of William and Nancy Ramsey and he married Miss Winnie Wood of Athol. Twin sons were born to them in 1906. The day before Wilbur died his youngest twin son Alfred died, which was a heavy blow to the stricken man.

Burial was in the Luzerne Cemetery.

Lake George comes alive The ice has been gradually disappearing from Lake George and the last went out on April 28, 1911. The bays of the lake have been clear for some time but it was not until the last few days of warm weather that the ice in the center of the lake was affected. This break-up causes much relief of the citizens of the town who were fearful of a late season. The Mohican is expected to be the first boat on the lake.

Looking backward Just 50 years ago, April 12, 1861, the great Civil War opened at 4:30 a.m. when the Confederate batteries at Charleston, South Carolina, led by General P.G.T. Beauregard, opened fire upon Fort Sumter.

Thus began the greatest and bloodiest of modern wars and the wounds that were raw and bleeding when the war closed and the bitterness of the conflict has not been forgotten even today.

News around Warrensburgh Three inches of snow fell on the night of April 8, 1911. This year suffered a backward spring, but who would think that the apple tree, so barren, awkward and bare, would ever don its busy blooms and become most wondrous fair?

This year in 1911, for the first time, some automobile manufacturers have installed starters in their new machines. If this trend catches on, it is possible that future models will no longer have to be cranked by hand.

The first automobiles of the season are beginning to make an appearance on Warrensburgh streets.

The dance given at Music Hall with music

by Zita’s Orchestra was a great success with 90 couples attending. Managers were Wilbur Hitchcock, Stewart Farrar, Lee Orton and Earl Herrick.

Don Cameron of Athol has broken ground on Library Avenue for a new residence opposite John J. Archer ’s. The construction will be in charge of George E. Farrar. (Note…John Archer ’s house is today the residence of Liz Schuster, directly behind Richards Library.

The house built by Don Cameron across the street was the Hap Osborne house, now owned by Matt and Io Bruce.)

The buildings of the Warrensburgh Woolen Mill Co. on Milton Avenue are being painted. Work began the morning of April 20, 1911 in the charge of Stillman Town.

Harold W. Patrick, a 10-pound boy, was born April 14, 1911 to Mr. and Mrs. E.L. Patrick of Warrensburgh.

Lucy Rist Harrington, 69, wife of Harlon Harrington, died April 16, 1911 of pneumonia following an attack of measles. Besides her husband she leaves an adopted son, James McCuen. The funeral was held from the Warrensburgh Baptist Church.

Charles N. Baker, formerly of Warrensburgh and Thurman, has moved to the Dillon farm owned by T.J. Murphy of Wevertown.

Vernando Mead of Warrensburgh has recently moved to the P. Bump farm in Riparius, recently purchased by G. Blomgren of New York City.

Thought for the day: In 1911 John T. Bryant was “foreman” of the Lake George Fire Company. It was not until 1927 that the title of chief was used.

Warship film to be screened LAKE GEORGE — On Wednesday, April 27 at 7 p.m., the Caldwell-Lake George Library will present an evening of underwater discovery with a free screening of “Wooden Bones: The Sunken Fleet of 1758.”

For more than 20 years, a group of shipwreck sleuths with Bateaux Below — a group dedicating to discovery and preservation of underwater vessels — have worked to answer puzzling questions about “The Sunken Fleet of 1758.”

Why did the British deliberately sink much of their mountain lake squadron? the historians have wondered. How did the British raise many of these warships, and how did this unconventional strategy help the British win the French & Indian War? Members of Bateaux Below will be present before and after the movie to answer questions. Joseph Zarzynski & Bob Benway will be available to sign copies of their new book, “Lake George Shipwrecks and Sunken History.”

Citizens are urged to join underwater archaeologists with Bateaux Below as they delve into the depths of Lake George to uncover the answers.

For details, see ww.thelostradeau.com/woodenbones/home.htm or call 668-2528.

The program is made possible due to the generosity of the Glenn & Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation, Pepe Productions and Bateaux Below.

Kyle Dolan works on an art project at the Lake George Elementary School.

Gold Star moms convene in Lake George LAKE GEORGE — A statewide chapter of a national association of mothers who lost a son or daughter in military service held a convention and ceremonies last weekend in the village of Lake George.

From April 15 through 17, the New York branch of American Gold Star Mothers held its 75th annual convention at Fort William Henry Hotel.

The convention included various meetings and tours, and it culminated with a banquet at Fort William Henry.

Town of Lake George Supervisor Frank McCoy and the Scott Sopczyk, director of Greater Glens Falls Transit, collaborated to provide complimentary trolleys to get the Moms and dads, families and veterans to the various venues hosting the

Michael Consuelo of the Lake George Chamber — and working on behalf of Warren County — helped organize a variety of details for the convention.

The group conducted a memorial service Friday night in honor of the mothers and fathers affiliated

with the organization who passed away during the last year. Various military-related organizations from across the Capital Region provided escorts for the ceremonies in respect for the departed soldiers and the sacrifice they and their families made on behalf of the U.S. On Saturday, AGSM

members boarded the trolleys and visited the Vietnam Veterans monument at SUNY Adirondack. They then proceeded by trolley to the Victory & Peace monument in Glens Falls. Mike Hoag of the Glens Falls American Legion Post 233 spoke about the history of the Memorial.

The AGSM members were then taken by trolley to the Gold Star Parents' Tea hosted by the area VFW Auxiliary members at VFW Post 6196 in Queensbury. The Auxiliary presented the AGSM group with a check for $1,000 to help defray the costs of the next Convention.

Upcoming talk to describe an adventure tracing one’s roots WARRENSBURG —An intriguing genealogical search is the subject of a talk by Roscoe Hastings set for 7 p.m. Thursday, April 28 at Grace’s Restaurant, 3 Hudson St. The presentation is sponsored by the Warrensburgh Historical Society.

Roscoe is likely to talk about how a photograph of an old lady sitting in an open car in Glens Falls prompted him to undertake genealogical research.

The photo was of interest not only because few people born in 1810 ever saw a car or rode in one, but the woman was Mary Sage, recognized as the oldest person in Warren County at her death in 1916 — at the age of 106. Newspaper articles were written about her, before and after her death.

Mary Sage is the great-great-grandmother of Roscoe Hastings, who, as a genealogist, set Mary Sage out to prove the truth of the newspaper reports. Searching for legal documentation of the vital events in her life, his trip through Mary’s life uncovered a lot of intrigue, new questions and mysteries. Hastings’ presentation follows Mary Sage and her family from Cutcombe, England to Darrowsville in Warren County.

A native of Warrensburg, Roscoe Hastings is not only an award-winning genealogist, but he is Professor Emeritus at Monroe Community College, where he is now serving as adjunct professor.

Coffee and homemade desserts are to be provided. Admission is free. For details, see: www.whs12885.org or call 623-2207.

Carbon monoxide kills local man

By Jon Hochschartner

the town of Queensbury for a report of a young male who was found to be unresponsive in a motor vehicle that was parked in a driveway.

Police said preliminary investigation showed Topoleski, of 32 Smith Road, Olmstedville, had been out in the Glens Falls area with friends and then took a cab service back to 113 Meadowbrook Road at approximately 2:30 a.m. It is believed Topoleski got in his vehicle, which is a 1991 Honda Accord, turned on the engine and turned the climate control to the heat position.

Warren County Undersheriff Robert Swan was unsure why Topoleski slept in his car.

“It’s an unknown at this point,” Swan said.

At about 9:30 a.m., the homeowner noticed the vehicle was running with Topoleski inside, police said. The homeowner believed Topoleski was sleeping and didn’t immediately go and check on him. When he did check on him, Topoleski was

jonh@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY — Mark A. Topoleski, 24, of Olmstedville, died the morning of April 15 in what the Warren County Sherriff’s Office preliminarily believes to be an accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Topoleski had been sleeping in a vehicle with a leaking exhaust system, police said.

Anthony Gereau was Topoleski’s best friend. Originally from Newcomb, Anthony was reached for comment in Colorado, where he is stationed in the U.S. Army. He remembered Topoleski as a gregarious person with an outgoing personality. “[Topoleski] was the life of the party,” Anthony said. “He always had a smile on his face.

He was the kind of guy who, it didn’t matter if it was snowing outside, would take his shirt off for you. That was the kind of guy he was.”

Rhonda Gereau, Anthony’s step-mom, said Topeleski

Mark A. Topoleski came to her house often.

“He’s just very well mannered and very well put-together,” Rhonda said. “He’s just a wonderful person, he really was. [He had] the most beautiful blue eyes in the world.”

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office said on April 15 at 9:38 a.m. they responded to 113 Meadowbrook Road in

unresponsive and CPR was initiated.

Police said Topoleski was pronounced dead at the scene.

Results of a preliminary toxicology test showed a lethal level of carbon monoxide present in Topoleski’s blood stream.

Police said they examined the vehicle and found extremely high levels of carbon monoxide inside. The gas was believed to be entering the vehicle due to a leaking exhaust system. There was minimal ventilation of fresh air inside the vehicle due to the fact the windows were closed and the climate control system was in the “re-circulate” position.

“It’s still an open investigation until we see the full coroner ’s report, including the toxicology report,” Swan said.

But at this time the death is believed to be accidental in nature, he said. “[Topoleski] was just a very generous guy,” Anthony said.

“He was amazing to have around.”

Village water chief awarded for expertise LAKE GEORGE — The New York Rural Water Association has selected Village Wastewater Superintendent Reginald Burlingame as their “2001 Friend of Rural Water.”

The award is given annually to a member of the organization that has contributed valuable services to the Association and his municipality. The association is a state branch of the national organization devoted to boosting expertise and providing training to meet challenges in providing pure municipal water.

Man gets 10 years for child pornography ADIRONDACK — Bruce E. Smith, 50, of Adirondack, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Albany to 121 months in prison to be followed by 50 years on parole after he pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.

Smith was charged with forcibly sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman at his home in 2008, a case that is still pending in Horicon Town Court. He was arrested in July 2009 on a federal felony weapons charge when he was found to have a rifle despite a felony conviction that prohibits him from possessing a firearm. He was also arrested in 2009 after the state police found that he had downloaded hundreds of child pornography files over the Internet, and he pleaded guilty to a felony charge in that case last May. Finally, he was arrested last May 17 on a misdemeanor charge of public lewdness for allegedly exposing his genitalia to a group of hikers, including one child, at a state trailhead in Horicon, police said.

Smith will have to register as a sex offender as part of his federal sentence.

Two men jailed for drug possession LAKE GEORGE — Jose Paneto, 26, of Pearl Street in Hudson Falls and Christopher M. Johnson, 22, of Watervliet were arrested after a car Paneto was driving was stopped in the southbound lanes of the Northway near Exit 22, officials said.

The two were found to be in possession of more than an ounce of crack cocaine and more than a pound of marijuana, according to state police. The vehicle was stopped after it allegedly moved from one lane to another unsafely. Both face felony counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal possession of marijuana and Paneto was also charged with misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment and resisting arrest, according to state police. Both were arraigned in Lake George Town Court and sent to Warren County Jail for lack of bail.

Rachael Ray from page 1 renowned celebrity cook and talk show host.

A number of people — many of whom had never seen Rachael Ray before except on television — said they were there because of her magnetism.

They remarked that she’s fun, down to earth and real. They said they love her energy, her jokes, and her easy-to-follow recipes.

Beth Stewart, a nurse from the region, said not only that she was “thrilled” to see Rachael Ray in person, but she really appreciated her new focus on health and nutrition, including her crusade against childhood obesity and diabetes — and her fight against hunger.

“She’s a local girl done good,” Stewart quipped, noting that Rachael Ray provides inspiration to local people in achieving goals in life.

Others said they appreciated that despite her international fame, none of it seemed to have gone to her head — that she stays true to her roots and honors

where she came from.

The audience wasn’t just local people, however. The show drew people from Virginia, Kansas and Canada who all came to the lower Adirondacks just to spend some time with the famous Lake George alumnus.

Rachael Ray charmed the audience with all sorts of fun stories, spontaneous quips and tips. Ray cooked a series of meals including Caesar spaghetti, a chicken dish, and a bacon and cheeseburger concoction that had the audience salivating and cheering.

The conversation was casual between Rachael and her audience. She urged the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” to her friend Andrew “Cappy” Caplan, who heads up her charitable foundation and helped set up the food to be prepared. The audience obliged.

The crowd heard all about Rachael, her family, her dog, and her love for cheese — “The stinkier the better,” she said. Questions were welcomed from the audience throughout the night, ranging from her contributions in society to her husband’s favorite food.

People demonstrated their love for her with gifts, including a model skate-

board — with a high heel attached — presented by Lake George students seeking to develop a local skateboard park. She accepted the gifts with gratitude.

During the show, Rachael mentioned local sites and enterprises freely, including talking of how she’d be a vegetarian except for Oscar ’s bacon, “the best in the world.” George’s Restaurant also received plenty of mention, as they catered the food — concocted from Rachael Ray recipes — served after the event.

At the end of the show, a long line of fans sought autographs as well as photographs and chatter with her, and as always, she spent ample time with each one. In past years, these one-on-one sessions with Rachael at the Lake George show have lasted up to 90 minutes or more.

Show attendee Dawn Wagner, of Wilton, said she was impressed how Rachael Ray spent so much time with the audience.

“I just can’t believe I’m here,” she said with a star-struck expression.

(Adirondack Journal Editor Thom Randall contributed to this report.)

(Editor’s Note: Taylor Hughes, a junior at Warrensburg High School, was invited by Denton Publications to interview celebrity cook and television personality Rachael Ray April 15 during her annual visit to Lake George High School, her alma mater. Hughes is the editor of Warrensburg High School’s “Burgher Times.”)

Rachael Ray looked beautiful, casual, and uniquely Rachael before her show at Lake George High School on Friday, April 15. For a short time before the show, she granted separate short interviews, including one with this reporter, in the school library. In front of television cameras, she spoke of the hard working family that raised her, and her teen years working for various restaurants in the Lake George/Glens Falls area.

She said her career was built on “luck and circumstance” and that the people who watch her show and read her books are her bosses.

“I didn’t work any harder than anyone else in my family,” she said.

After a mention of her “obsession” with bacon and other products from Oscar ’s Smoke House of Warrensburg, she stood to answer questions I posed on behalf of the Adirondack Journal and Denton Publications.

Q: What was your reaction when Oscar ’s Smoke House burned down?

A: Obviously I was sad. I’ve been going there all my life, and I’m just glad that now it’s back and bigger than ever, although I don’t think it could ever really be better.

Q: Where is your favorite place to go when you come to the Adirondacks?

A: My house. It’s nice to come back in the summer. I’m not home a lot and I like to be able to cook in my own kitchen. I also like to visit the Montcalm Restaurant; I like their roast half chicken and green beans, and the brownies.

Q: What’s the most unusual gift you’ve ever been given?

A: Well, I have these young boyfriends who always attend my show in Lake George and bring me flower bouquets. It’s so sweet.

Q: What’s it like to be back in the Adirondacks?

A: It’s nice. I only do this once a year, and I always look forward to it. This show in Lake George is a great opportunity for me to see what works with an audience and what’s doesn’t. I truly enjoy it — all these people come here not to learn how to cook, but for a conversation.

Bolton - Adirondack Journal - 13

Young students honor Earth Day On Friday, April 15, kindergarten students of Bolton Central School picked up litter on school grounds in an event intended to prompt lifelong stewardship of their natural surroundings. The activity, held annually in observance of Earth Day (April 22), is intended to boost environmental responsibility in the young students. Classroom curriculum about respect for the environment accompanies the activity.

Bolton Seniors’ activities

Palazzo benefit dinner Friends and family of local resident James Palazzo, a cancer patient, will be holding a benefit dinner on April 30 in order to raise money to pay for his rising medical costs.

Palazzo was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that has metastasized to his liver. The benefit will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Lakeside Lodge and Grille on Main Street in Bolton Landing. Adults will be charged $15 and children are free. A live auction, a Chinese auction, and raffles will be featured. For details or to arrange for transportation or a donation delivery, call Mike and Linda at 644-3020, Cindy and Mike at 743-0338, or Danna and Ruben at 743-180.

Donations can be mailed to: 121 Federal Hill Road, Bolton Landing, NY 12814. Send e-mails to: sweetpeafarmperennials@gmail.com.

Bolton Chamber seeking vendors The Bolton Chamber of Commerce is now seeking vendors to participate in their first-ever Bolton Bike & Art Fest, planned for Thursday, June 9 through Saturday, June 11.

Chamber officials are inviting local artisans, crafters and vendors of motorcycle-related products and services to participate. The Chamber will also offer space to motorcycle owners trying to sell their vehicles. During this weekend, during which the region hosts the popular Americade motorcycle rally, the town will be participating in the Americade Scavenger Hunt, and downtown Bolton will offer art, music, food and more. Call 644-3831 for details.

• Wednesday, April 27 — Bingo, 10:30 a.m. to noon at Bolton Senior Center. Lunch plans to be announced.

‘Seniors of the Year’ banquet set The annual Senior of the Year luncheon to honor area seniors contributing to their communities in Warren and Hamilton counties, is set for May 19 beginning at 11:30 a.m. Reservations are due by May 3. The event, which includes honoring Loon Lake resident Fred Hoenigman, 88, for 25 years of service to Meals on Wheels, is to be held at Fort William Henry Hotel in Lake George village. After a quarter-century delivering meals to the homebound, Hoenigman is retiring from the service he provides. To be awarded as Outstanding Contributing Senior is Maureen Mihalics of Diamond Point, who was nominated by three senior groups in the area. For details or to make reservations, contact Pat Pratt at 644-9459.

BCS students pass reading goal Bolton Elementary students recently responded with enthusiasm to a reading challenge event, surpassing a goal set by the school faculty. In the reading challenge, they read a total of 10,644 minutes. Bolton Central Guidance Counselor Michelle Borgh and school Principal Damian Switzer agreed to be slimed in front of the students if they reached their goal of 6,000 minutes — which they nearly doubled. Switzer and Borgh were reportedly good sports as the students gleefully watched them having buckets of gooey green slime poured over them.

Bolton Elementary students react with glee as they wait for school Principal Damian Switzer and Guidance Counselor Michelle Borgh to get buckets of slime poured over their heads — as a reward for the young students surpassing a goal in a recent reading challenge event.

Wa r rensbu rg Burgher girls look to seniors for leadership

Warrensburg Varsity Softball 2011 Schedule

By Thom Randall

April 25 April 27 April 29 May 2 May 4 May 6 May 7 May 9 May 11 May 13 May 16 May 18

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Softball has a deep legacy in Warrensburg, beginning in the 1980s and reaching a pinnacle in the mid1990s when the pitching-catching combination of Sara Rumrill and Kim Lamy took their team to the state championship finals.

In the process, they showed other schools in the region how competitive and aggressive softball could be.

Since those years, the enrollment at Warrensburg High has been declining, but year

after year, legendary coach Mary Ann Bump has inspired her teams to play at their very best, and they’ve managed to almost always rank in the top half of the Adirondack League.

Bump is sidelined this year due to an injury, and her long-time associate Brent Bertrand has taken over the lead coaching role.

This year ’s team has a talented trio of returning seniors — Kate Kuklinski, MollyKate Webster, and Lindsay Wood — who will be mentoring their new team members and classmates Emily Winslow and Chanel Barboza alongside the younger athletes. All

team members, Bertrand said, have been working hard together on defensive skills as well as connecting with the ball to light up the scoreboard.

In a recent practice session, Bertrand gathered the group for a pep talk after some fielding practice.

“You guys really have to believe in what you can do, and come in focused every day,” he said. “Then you can achieve whatever goals you set your mind to.”

Bertrand sent them back to their work.

“It will be a rebuilding year,” he remarked. “But it should be a lot of fun to watch this team develop in future years.”

Promising players join veterans on baseball squad

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG — Each new season, coaches at Warrensburg High School look with concern at their roster of new players, wondering how they’re going to recover from the loss of a group of stellar athletes.

But year after year, new talented athletes emerge and create their own legacy for the Burghers.

In 2010, the Warrensburg baseball team lost Mike Perrone, Brendan Frye, Ben Nicols, Jason Power and Ryan Belden to graduation.

However, they’ve got six returning veterans — John Joseph, Jacob Siletti, Nick Monroe, Aaron Seeley, Lucas Nelson, and Mike Curtis — who are well-known for their athleticism and determination. Undoubtedly, these six will be inspiring the rest of their squad to step up and create their own waves, Coach Rex Reynolds said.

“We hope to fill spots, and I think we have the talent to do that,” he said. “Our young guys are working hard to gain an advantage — We have some players who can push the older guys for starting spots and playing time.”

In 2010 — an extremely competitive year in the Adirondack League — Warrensburg held its own with an 8-6 record, and they tallied 9-12 overall.

The 2011 group has been honing their defensive skills in pre-season, while they’ve been working on conditioning and batting, Reynolds said.

“We hope to be competitive when we take the field,” he said. “We are looking to improve on last years record and make the second round of the playoffs.”

Warriors girls seek to make their own mark

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE — Without a doubt, it’s a re-building year for the Lake George Softball Team, which for recent years was the showcase for Katelyn Callahan’s blistering, ultrapowerful pitching.

Callahan not only earned the title of the region’s Most Valuable Player, but she’s now competing on a softball team at Division I University of Connecticut. Graduating alongside Callahan were the talented group

of Taylor Dawson, Sara Anderson, Rachel Pliscofsky, Chelsea Scott, and Molly Blackmon — a team that went 14-0 in the Adirondack League, and 16-2 overall.

Anchoring the 2011 team will be Nicole Bureau, a senior who has formidable experience as catcher — she caught for Callahan for two full years.

Also, coach Kelly Collins will be looking for top performance and leadership from junior Rebecca Kandora on third base — she’s known as a strong fielder and very quick on the bases.

Both are expected to lead an aggressive, versatile group that are likely to surprise area sports fans with their determination.

Moving into the pitching position will be Chelsea Sipowicz, a junior, and Amy Sander, a promising sophomore. Both pitched quite well in their Junior Varsity days.

The group’s strength is in their versatility and their willingness to learn, Collins said.

“They’re a very enthusiastic, hard-working, energetic, and fun group,” Collins said.

“I’m optimistic about our prospects this year.”

Warriors baseball team seeks to reclaim 2009 glory

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — This may be the year that the Warriors recapture the glory of the stellar 2009 season, which included a stunning comeback victory to capture the Adirondack League championship.

Last season, there was a considerable change in personnel and the season tally fell short of goals. But this year, the seasoned veterans are back — sports fans know they’ll put up a good fight yet again against Fort Ann, which won the 2010 state Class D Championship in baseball.

The pitching looks exceptionally strong, with a three-man ro-

tation which includes J.D. Jenkins, a third-year varsity player who led the league last year in strikeouts; the athletic Jack Clark, who catches, pitches and is a key offensive threat; and sophomore Connor McCoy, who the coach said had a “lights out” 6-1 season in 2010 as a freshman, Hoover said.

Offensively, the team will benefit from those eight 2010 starters who know how to either get on base, or simply crush the ball. Anchoring the lineup and third in the batting order will be J.D. Jenkins, who led the team for hits in 2010 with a .343 aver-

age. He’s got plenty of assistance from Alex Liucci and Kyle McCabe, who both batted .340 in 2010.

Last week, Coach Hoover watched his players goof off, tossing a grapefruit-sized ball through a basketball hoop in their gym.

“With the loss of practice time, it’s been stressful,” coach Erik Hoover said.

Clark said he appreciated Hoover ’s knowledge and focus, adding that the team was actually enjoying a little relaxation before the shortened season gets under way.

Bolton Landing Baseball team joins Adk League loaded with veteran talent

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

BOLTON LANDING — The Bolton High School Eagles are likely to have a stellar season, based on the 10 talented veterans that are the core of the 2011 team. The experience these players gained in 2010, Coach Mark Andrejkovics said, undoubtedly will carry over into the Eagles’ first year competing in the Adirondack League.

Tyler Calzada, Caleb Kneeshaw and Jacob Nitmann, first-

team Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference awardees, are returning with their substantial skills. Andrejkovics said he’s looking to them for senior leadership this year.

“We will be leaning on our seniors to provide a spark and punch for the team,” he said.

Tyler Calzada, the pitching ace of the 2010 Eagles, looks forward to continued success on the mound as well as anchoring the infield at shortstop. Calzada also led the 2010 team in several batting average, hits and runs

scored. Jacob Nittmann, as catcher, was Calzada’s battery mate as well as providing the power for the Bolton lineup.

Caleb Kneeshaw is the team’s vocal leader, Andrejkovics said, adding that Kneeshaw led the 2010 team in RBIs and home runs.

The Donohue brothers, Sean and Kelly, will spend time on the mound this year and roam the outfield. The Eagles also have added two seniors to this year ’s squad: Matt Smith and Vincent Barcia.

Two freshmen also were selected for the team: Josh Persons and Alex Maxam. Andrejkovics said he’s confident in their ability to play at the Varsity level.

So far this year, the Bolton players have practiced hard, particularly on areas that needed improvement, including defense.

“The kids now clearly understand the importance of eliminating extra outs and they realize the challenge of joining a very strong Adirondack League,” the coach said.

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — Six veteran players who tasted success in 2010 are returning to give the Bolton Eagles a substantial boost as they join the Adirondack League.

The experienced, poised pitcher Tori Persons is back, bringing with her years of skill and experience, although she’s merely a junior. Having enhanced her speed, and accuracy — and learning various techniques at pitching clinics — she’s ready for action this year.

base to shortstop.

Veteran Sonja Hess will also be providing leadership at center field, Coach Persons said, noting that she’s moved players around for 2011 to strengthen the Eagles’ infield and backup veterans Rosie Denne and Charlotte Caldwell. Moving to the infield is returning senior Emma Cady at second base, and re-

Persons’ 2010 counterpart, Catcher Taylor Cronquist, who was savvy on defense and productive on offense, graduated last June. She’ll be replaced by eighth-grader Sarah Calzada, who is a promising athlete.

Coach Melanie Persons said the players are excited about the new season: “We had some rebuilding that we needed to do, filling some definite gaps left by graduating players,” she said.

She said the team will be relying on returning veterans, particularly Charlotte Caldwell, who will be moving from third

turning junior Marie DeLorenzo is at third.

All the players are welcoming rookie catcher Calzada to the team, the coach said.

Coach Persons noted that her daughter, pitcher Tori Persons, is always improving her game, and during off-season, she concentrated on reading the batter and pitch location more closely.

CHESTERTOWN — Three years ago, the North Warren baseball team took area sports fans on a ride they hadn’t experienced for more than 30 years.

This 2008 squad fought successfully into the Section II finals, and, in the process, sparked a lot of pride in northern Warren County. Now in 2011, the team has solid prospects for reclaiming that winning tradition, after several disappointing seasons.

The team’s top pitcher, senior Cody Higgins, has the “right stuff” to get it done. Late last year, he pitched every inning to win a late-season game against perennial leagueleader Lake George, a victory that upcounty

sports fans have savored, particularly considering that Lake George has a far-larger enrollment. Since then, Higgins is looking even stronger, having developed his curve ball and slider during the off-season.

He’s backed up by Greg Dower, another senior, who has solid skills and is known to be a successful closer.

Defensively, the Cougars look strong. The team will be looking to senior Travis Monroe at center field to provide leadership — he’s quick and gets under the ball with efficiency. Then there’s Will Jay, now slated for first base, who has the ability to scoop up throws anywhere near his position.

Also likely to play a key role will be Ethan Schenke, a newcomer from New Jersey who has speed and skill at shortstop.

Offensively, the team has been working hard to boost their power. The Cougars have been conditioning and working out, building strength.

Senior Tim Hanaburgh may be slamming the ball even harder this year, sports fans are predicting. Thom Pereau, a formidable athlete in soccer, has also been working on his batting.

Junior third baseman Kristian Seeley, known as a talented athlete, is back after recovering from a torn leg muscle that sidelined him from basketball season. Observers say that in his pitching role, he’s regaining his stride and recovering his former power.

Kristian Seeley said this team not only has considerable skills, but the players know how to have fun while competing.

North Warren softball moving forward toward goals

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The female athletes at North Warren High School are known for their grit and determination, and this year ’s softball team exhibits

these traits.

The 2011 softball team shares

Phelps noted that Cronk is pretty strong, quick and accurate, and the others have substantial talent too.

The team has a focused attitude toward defense, and they’re working to further develop their slugging talent, Phelps said.

While the Cougar teams are traditionally hampered by the school’s small enrollment, the softball program is steadily improving, with their season record looking better year after year, Phelps said.

“This group of players works particularly well together,” she said. “They not only have talent, they’ve got great team unity.”
