Chestertown Farmers’ Market lauded

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Recent criticisms of the Chestertown Farmers’ Market — claims it was disruptive to the town municipal center and incompatible with the new Veterans Plaza —

were countered recently by town officials and market participants.

Town of Chester Zoning Administrator Walt Tennyson submitted a letter Aug. 14 to the town board identifying “recurring problems” with the market, including vendors’ trucks parking on the lawn, a “clutter” of cars parking on the center ’s driveways or on Main St.,

causing an “extremely dangerous” traffic situation. Tennyson suggested in the letter that the market be moved to the town’s Dynamite Hill Recreation area.

At the Chester town board meeting that same day, Mary Jane Dower, one of the market’s organizers — and

Lou and Dean Ackley stand in front of their enterprise Direct Deposit, a container redemption facility on Main St. in Warrensburg. The Ackleys have planted a colorful array of flowers in a roadside unpaved strip beside their sidewalk, while many other local business owners merely let weeds grow in their similar plots. Such beautification efforts come naturally to Dean Ackley, as he formerly tended floral gardens and landscaped for Warren County. Another notable roadside planting effort along Main St. is the strip in front of the Alexander Funeral Home, where the Alexander family members have planted blue and gold flowers to hail the town’s upcoming Bicentennial celebration.

Local youth choir forming A new community youth choir is forming, and the Warrensburg Ministerial Association is inviting children ages 6 through 18 to join the group.

The money is due at the meeting, but the fee will be waved for a limited number of choir members.

Rehearsals are to be held every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the church beginning Sept. 20.

The performance is set for 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30 as a featured event of the Christmas in Warrensburgh weekend.

“We are excited about this opportunity and hope to have lots of enthusiastic kids participate,” Pastor Barrow said, noting that depending on the response, the choir may be continued into 2013.

For details, call Pastor Barrow at 623-3023 or 793-3020 and leave a message.

Local small ski slopes detailed The Warrensburgh Historical Society has added another title to its roster of books available at the Warrensburgh Museum. “Lost Ski Areas of the Southern Adirondacks” by Jeremy Davis is just off the press. Warrensburg had two such areas. Older readers may remember Hull's Slope from the late '30s, early 40s, just across the Judd Bridge. Those a few decades younger may remember skiing on Blister Hill on the side of Hackensack Mountain during the 1970s. Both areas were community-operated and featured rope tows.

Included among the more than 40 lost ski areas described in detail are Federal Hill in Bolton Landing, Stone Mountain in Lake Luzerne and Cobble Mountain in Lake George. This book is well researched and is full of photographs and maps.

There is also a chapter describing existing operating areas, such as Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburg and Dynamite Hill in Chestertown.

The 158-page book is available at the Warrensburgh Museum for $20 including tax and can also be ordered by mail from the Society. An order form, including all of the Soci-

ety's offerings, can www.whs12885.org. to 3 p.m. Saturdays Wednesdays, or call 2207.

Pianist prompts a sellout The Bolton Central School Parent-Teacher Organization is holding their annual Kickoff Fundraising Carnival Sept.

8 on the school’s upper ballfield.

To occur from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event includes a deejay, live music, face painting, balloon art, and a pie-throwing contest.

The event includes an obstacle course, slides and bounce houses — and for the older students feeling particularly competitive, a boxing ring and jousting matches.

Games include a dunking tank, balloon darts, potato sack races, and various carnival games geared for all ages.

A wide variety of food and snacks are to be available.

While entry to the carnival is free, tickets may be purchased at the event for the various activities.

A recital for pianist Christopher Johnson set for Saturday Sept. 1 has prompted a quick sellout of tickets, so a second performance has been scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sunday Sept.

2 at the Marcella Sembrich studio. The program features Chopin selections.

Johnson said this week that Chopin’s compositions feature a rich harmonic vocabulary, but require remarkable expertise.

“The technical demands can be brutal,” he said. According to critics, Johnson is equal to the job. Robert H. Newall has written, "Johnson has everything to make a big career: musicality, technique to squander, a touch capable of the merest whisper or a thunderous sound and stage presence."

Johnson, who has made annual appearances at The Sembrich since 2007, said recently that he is drawn to the audience here and to The Sembrich’s unique setting.

“The audience is knowledgeable, sophisticated, and spirited — and the experience is very up close and personal, as people are sitting just feet away.”

The Sembrich is located at 4800 Lakeshore Drive, and tickets are $30. For details, call 644-2431.

Bolton Central appoints interim principal gartners to 12th graders.

Polunci fills a vacancy left

by Damian Switzer, who resigned at the end of July to return to the Queensbury School District.

Polunci began his career in education as a high school science teacher at Argyle Central School, moving on

to administrative positions in Schuylerville, Stillwater and Edmeston school districts. In his retirement, Polunci has served as interim principal in eight school districts.

A resident of Lake George, Mr. Polunci is married with two children.

Bolton Superintendent Ray Ciccarelli said Aug. 28 that Polunci will serve as school for September and October or until a permanent principal is hired. He added that applications for the position are now being reviewed, and board ex-

pects to have a permanent administrator in place by November.

Ciccarelli praised the temporary administrator's character.

“Mr. Polunci is a wise, diligent and experienced professional who will mesh well with Bolton's students, parents, staff, as well as our community," he said.

Labor Day celebration? Who do we fear most?

O American workers face difficult times

A

merica will celebrate Labor Day this Monday, but expect the party to be muted.

These are tough times for American workers.

Labor Day is a federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894.

Ironically, the legislation that declared the observance came six days after the famed Pullman Strike, during which a number of striking workers were killed by U.S. military and U.S. Marshals. Fearful of greater conflict, the legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law by President Grover Cleveland in an attempt to appease the labor force.

Fortunately American workers aren’t being shot today, but things are tough.

The ongoing presidential campaign is quick to remind us national unemployment is above 8 percent. That’s a sad number, but it’s not the number we should be most concerned about.

According to the United States Federal Reserve middle class wealth — the value of assets such as homes, automobiles and stocks minus any debt — dropped 40 percent between 2007 and 2010. Median middle class income fell nearly 8 percent in 2010 alone.

This during a time when the cost of everything from food to housing to fuel to education is soaring.

The middle class happens to be the vast majority of the American labor pool. The typical American worker now has less wealth than 20 years ago.

That’s nothing to celebrate.

By the way, the wealthiest families’ median net worth rose slightly during the same time period.

The “One Percent,” as the Occupy Wall Street movement coined the nation’s financial elite, call such comparisons class warfare — while they contribute money to politicians determined to roll back workers’ rights.

Look at Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, even New York. Are any workers celebrating New York’s new Tier 6 retirement plan this Labor Day? Winners get to write history, which probably accounts for the fact many seem to blame the recession on workers, particularly public employees, apparently forgetting the bankers, Wall Street managers and greedy business people who pushed our economy to the brink of collapse. They cite employee salaries and benefits that taxpayers and businesses can no longer afford.

Union workers have been forced to make salary and benefit concessions.

Non-union laborers have simply had to accept cuts to their pay and benefits. Workers are told they’re lucky to have jobs at all.

There was a time in America when workers earned a living and respect by doing their jobs. Day-by-day, yearby-year the American labor force did its part and was rewarded with an improved quality of life.

Those days are gone, at least for now. Workers are still expected to do their jobs every day, but for less pay and less respect.

This Labor Day let’s do more than attend a parade or have a cook out.

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the difficulties encountered by American workers and thank them for continuing to do the job in the face of great adversity.

ver the next two weeks we’ll have the opportunity to hear the plans both presidential nominees and their respective parties have for our nation. As the accusations, truth twisting spin and political posturing takes place we can only hope that those who are undecided can find the information they need to reach a wise decision. One not reached from a position of fear, anger nor built on lies, but instead one made from sound facts and realistic hopes.

This nation has been blessed over time with the right leadership at just the right time to guide the country through very difficult times. We can only hope that once again the nation can come together and get behind a plan that begins to turn things around. Certainly in my lifetime I know of no other time as critical as the one we currently face. Our national identity and many of the principles we’ve held closely in the past seem to be brushed aside in favor of self wants. Far too many are treating this election like a sporting event more than making a life altering choice. With so much at stake I wonder what we fear more in the coming election — that the “wrong side” will lead the nation back to security and prosperity receiving all the credit or that the “right side” will unleash all the negatives we heard from the other side and push the nation farther into debt and further into despair?

If the contest is going to be about anything meaningful, it should be about how we are going to correct the nation’s finances, which presents a grave danger to American power and prosperity.

The bi-partisan Bowles-Simpson plan offered solutions last year, but will either candidate be willing to address the issues in the same bipartisan manner that all Americans and both parties can get behind? The bipartisan commission of 18 members, including six senators and six representatives, tried to address the country's fiscal challenges, but Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan refused to support the majority's findings and President Obama also declined to pursue the suggested policies. If the solution is that radioactive and our current leaders refuse to even touch it what will it take for the nation to come to grips with these issues?

Can anyone see a path to resolving these financial issues or will both camps simply retreat to their extreme political bases with neither side giving an inch, thus putting America’s future on the line while they play tug-of-war? David Wessel, a Wall Street Journal columnist, recently released a book titled "Red Ink," a handy new guide to understanding the politics of the federal budget. While nobody loves the cost of government, everybody

cherishes the things it specifically does for them. Wessel sums up the politics this way: "These diverse financial Dan Alexander arrangements have one Thoughts from thing in common: at the Behind the Pressline end of the pipeline is some real American person who is getting a check or a promise. Most are convinced due to their circumstances they deserve the money and/or the promise granted by Uncle Sam." On the other side of the ledger from out of control government spending is the lost income from billions of dollars in tax deductions, exemptions and loopholes, for the rich that they too are convinced they rightfully deserve. Such tax bennies are no easier to do away with than reducing beloved spending programs: Congress and presidents know full well seriously addressing both sides of the ledger — spending and taxes — is the only way to correct the course, but until a true leader steps up and makes a convincing case to the American public that both spending and taxes must be a part of the solution, each side will play to fears and cheers of their immediate constituency and the day of reckoning is pushed farther out into the future.

It is for that reason that many people believe the day of reckoning should be addressed now without waiting until the issue is so massive the solutions will be far more costly and painful. With the US debt now nearing $16 trillion and the debt per taxpayer at about $140,000 how much longer can we go on allowing our president and Congress to ignore this crisis? It’s painfully clear neither side can solve the problem alone, but neither is prepared to work together and until that happens, nothing will happen except what we should really be fearing.

America has many problems and the national economy, while topping the list, is but one of the hot buttons in this year’s election. So listen closely over the next two weeks and keep an open mind.

Discount the mudslinging, ignore the vicious attack ads and listen closely for what you would consider a reasonable solution to break the stalemate. But remember, only when the plan is equally painful to all will there be something of value on the table and my greatest fear, one I hope is unfounded, is that neither side is prepared to go that far.

•100 Years Ago – Sept. 1912• Governor attends county fair Governor ’s Day at the Warren County Fair in Warrensburgh will be celebrated on Sept.

5, 1912 and the guest of honor at the gala event will be Gov. John A. Dix and his cortege of dignitaries from Albany. The fairgrounds and the streets of Warrensburgh will be decorated with flags and bunting in honor of the distinguished visitors and the grandstand where the governor will speak and other buildings on the fairgrounds will be similarly bedecked.

A frenzy of activity has been taking place to get ready for the fair. There is a large number of trotting horses in training on the grounds to enliven the hard routine of their daily work and a program of races has been arranged for the sport-loving public.

On Saturday, Aug. 3, 1912 a preview was held for the public who could afford the 25cent admission to the track. At the trial heat the fastest time was made by Dick Baker ’s black mare, Lady Helle, she having made better time than either John O or Hazelwood.

The horses have been taken to various fairs throughout the state and have returned here to be housed in the fine new box stalls currently being built for them on the fairgrounds in preparation for the upcoming event.

The Glens Falls Band, under the direction of Professor Sherman Holcomb, will begin a three-day engagement at the fair, giving a fine concert before the races and playing at frequent intervals between the heats.

The livestock sheds and pens will be filled with sleek horses and cattle, sheep of all higher grades, fat hogs and little pigs. There is an especially fine showing of poultry and in the same building will be some beautiful cats and dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and other four-footed pets.

Gypsies and ‘The Cosmorama’ The midway attractions are, as usual, the bullabaloo center of the whole show. The barkers are a lively lot and their efforts con-

tribute to the gayety of the occasion. Gypsy fortune tellers are much in evidence in their gaudy, but far from rich, costumes and if they get a chance to ply their trade on you, they will surely do it.

Captain Sam Moses has the largest tent on the midway, housing the Great Cosmorama and a highly entertaining vaudeville performance. Fair promoter Henry Griffing is praying that there will be no inclement weather on the three special days of the fair.

(Note: The Warrensburgh Fair was a golden time for young and old alike, many of whom worked hard on remote farms in this area and saved their pennies for these special three days. The grounds were located behind today’s Ashe’s Hotel, just as it was 100 years ago. Behind the bar was a speaker announcing the names of horse-race winners to Henry Ashe’s bar patrons.

The 1912 Governor ’s Day celebration was a special day in Warrensburgh history and I will tell about it in detail next week. I related the story of Capt. Samuel B. Moses, a remarkable man, in this column in the current Aug. 18 Adirondack Journal. In it I mentioned that his house on River Street was later owned by the late Jim Gallup. I have since discovered that Jim lives today and is doing well at the Countryside Adult Home in Warrensburg. I apologize for my mistake — and I am always glad to hear from readers. )

‘Penny postals’ reveal bygone days (Note:Reading old postcards is an excellent way to journey into the past to get a view of life as it transpired a century ago.

I have a “penny postal” postmarked Nov. 1, 1910 that was sent to Mr. Edward Everts, C/o Isaac Everts, Athol, Warren County, N.Y. and concerns the area of Warrensburgh near the Judd Bridge and south River Street.)

The penny postal reads: “Dear Brother. If you haven’t sold all your venison before you get this, I think you can sell a quarter to Daniel March. He lives near the Judd Bridge next house to C.L. (Clayton) Pasco. He wanted to know what you asked by the quarter and I told him I didn’t know.

He said if you sold for 10 cents a pound by taking a quarter they wanted one and Mrs. March thought Ira Cole would buy a quarter. Your sister, M.I.E.”

Unique decoration Henry Crandall of Glens Falls, aged philanthropist, has caused a number of electric lights in the form of a star to be placed on the granite monument, designed by William S. Tuttle, under which will be his final resting place. The monument is in the center of Crandall Park under which he will some day be laid to rest. The monument is in the center of Crandall Park which was given to the city some time ago by Mr. Crandall and the light can be seen from the summit of Prospect Mountain in Lake George and from nearly all of the surrounding villages.

(Note: Henry Crandall’s house in Glens Falls was located on the lot where Crandall Library was later constructed. A few months later in 1912 he was again in the news loudly opposing the city’s plan to remove the Soldier ’s Monument from Monument Square, in front of his home. The monument was in bad repair and it would take considerable money to again put it in good condition. He said, “Ever since the monument was erected I have looked after it and kept it in repair and I firmly believe that it would be a rank injustice to disturb the memorial of the Civil War veterans.” He went on to say that when the shaft was erected it was one of the largest and handsomest monuments in the state and commented that many people daily used the seats, surrounded by an iron fence, that were arranged around the base of the monument.

(Note: R.T. Baxter, a 19th century local dealer in marble and monuments constructed this monument in 1868 at a cost of $12,000 and it was said to have been dedicated in May, 1872. The now 140-year-old Civil War monument, at the intersection of Glen and Baystreets, underwent painstaking restoration in 1998 and 1999.)

“Uncle Henry” Crandall had a large easy chair placed in his upper bay window, fronting the square, and spent many hours

Big crime, small gain Patrick J. Gamby, employed as a deck hand on the Lake George steamer Sagamore, was arrested by Deputy U.S. Marshal Elmer E. Belden, charged with having stolen a registered letter from the mail Aug. 23, 1912 on board the steamer . It was said that the letter contained only $2.

Martin's mills both hardwood and softwood grown and selectively cut on their property. The lumber is rough-sawn and has attractive grain and knots.

They find wood with the most interesting grain and character, which imparts distinctive beauty to each sign. Both milled edges or the natural edges are offered.

Martin’s creates personal and business signs, plaques to display house numbers, logos, , or virtually anything.

Featured at Martin’s is Lucyann's Crafts an enterprise that creates jewelry from paper products. If you need jewelry for a wedding anniversary or a special occasion, they will handcraft a gift just for that. Beads can be made from paper that has special significance — like the wine list or menu from that restaurant where he popped the question, or a flyer from the show you attended. Folks can reach both Martin’s Tree Farm and Sawmill & Lucyann’s at 623-9595.

On a personal note Celebrating anniversaries this week are Betty and Frank Gallup on Sept. 2, and Cindy and Tom Needham on Sept. 6.

Celebrating birthdays are Marty Baker on Sept. 1; Bill Jack Galusha on Sept. 2; Beth Galusha, Donna Herrmann and KyleLee Combs on Sept. 3; Ruth Russell, Daniel Cobb, Beth Ligon and Jean Coulard on Sept. 4; Rene Yarmowich on Sept.

LAKE GEORGE — The Village of Lake George has chosen the Fun-A-Rama property on Canada Street and the private residence of John and AnaMaria Hladik on Parrotts Pond Drive to receive the municipality’s 2012 beautification awards.

Tom and Kim Zeppieri, owners of the amusement park on the corner of Beach Road and Canada Street, invested more than $500,000 in improving the popular corner that was until recently home to the nation’s oldest miniature golf course.

From fall 2011 through May, the Zeppieris upgraded the exteriors of all the buildings and installed new signs, landscaping and seating areas and purchased a carousel to serve as the fanciful centerpiece of their property which combines a mini fun park, stores and eateries.

Mayor Robert Blais presented the Zeppieris with the award Aug. 23 during the Lake George Music Festival concert in Shepard Park.

“The new carousel and retail shops at the entrance to our downtown adds excitement and vitality to our family resort,” he said.

The Hladik residence located on the former Parrott farm is a new two-story colonial residence that overlooks the pond that has been cleaned up and improved.

The residence is landscaped with flowers and stonework and provides a lovely country setting within the Village, Blais said.

“The Hladiks invested their time and money in making this former barren area one of the most scenic and peaceful in our Village,” he said.

Autumn on the rise: Time for fur, fins and feathers

A

ccording to the most reliable reports, angling opportunities on most local lakes and ponds has slowed down significantly in recent weeks.

Overall, it has been a very slow season, even for anglers with the expertise to fish in deeper waters.

Anglers can only hope for cooler air temperatures and cold rains to help salvage what has been largely, a dismal fishing season.

Although I’ve seen a few nice specimens, and heard tales of a few others, ‘few’ seems to be the most commonly used term. Many anglers have asked if the lack of finding active fish was just an oddity? I’m sorry to report that this season’s distinct lack of action appears to be a consistent trend for most fish species including trout, bass and walleye. Lake trout and salmon, which tend to inhabit the deeper, cooler waters were taken a bit more readily by those who prefer to plumb the depths with downriggers and wire or leadcore lines.

It is open to debate whether the poor fishing can be attributed to the scouring effects that occurred on local waterways during last year ’s extreme water levels, or to the diminished oxygen content resulting from the season’s usually warm waters.

While I have enjoyed a couple of days of consistently good fishing this season, the feeding has been largely sporadic, if at all.

Fortunately, there is already the hint of autumn in the air, and the hardwoods have begun taking on their fall colors. Hopefully, the subtle seasonal changes will prompt a feeding streak that’ll last through the end of trout season.

As September rolls around, so do many other sporting opportunities, with birds again available on the wing, and turkeys in fields. Big game hunters have been counting down the days to the start of Early Bear Season, as archers await the beginning of Bow Season for whitetail deer.

Traditional hunting opportunities will mix easily with the tail end of trout season, and the beginning of the annual salmon spawn runs.

With such a wealth of outdoor opportunities, it is easy to understand why autumn is considered the High Holy Days of Sportsmen.

Sporting Traditions

In the Adirondacks, fishermen and women qualify for an Angler ’s Grand Slam by catching at least three different

species, or taking three fish of a singular species in a single day.

According to the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) a saltwater Grand Slam is achieved when an angler lands a bonefish, tarpon and a permit during one day of fishing. An Inshore Grand Slam includes three species on the same day, including bonefish, tarpon, permit or snook.

A freshwater, Grand Slam may include any combination of three distinct species such as bass, pike or trout in a single day’s outing. The achievement can also be ‘species specific’ with the combination of any three single species, whether brook, rainbow, brown, lake, splake, or tiger trout.

A Super Grand Slam, also known as an Adirondack Five Star requires five of the same species such as a brook, brown, rainbow, lake and a splake to be taken in a single day. Similarly, a Super Grand Slam could be accomplished by combining five different game fish species including a Northern pike, walleye pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and a lake trout or landlocked salmon. Any combination of warmwater or coldwater gamefish species is considered acceptable.

The Real Mcnab: Rod, Rifle and Gun

Once every four or five years, New York State’s sporting calendar provides sportsmen and women with a unique opportunity when the bird hunting, deer hunting and fishing seasons all overlap.

The timeframe when these concurrent seasons occur is usually of a short duration, however it provides Adirondack sporting enthusiasts with an opportunity to pursue a unique American version of a fabled Scottish sporting accomplishment, known as a Macnab.

A Macnab is a sporting challenge similar to an angler ’s ‘Grand Slam’, however, it is compounded by a combination of angling, stalk hunting and wing shooting required in the effort.

To accomplish a pure Macnab, it helps to have a good friend with a large estate in Scotland, or a lot of money.

Opportunities to accomplish an Adirondack version of The Macnab are limited to three days Oct. 13 through 15. The effort will require catching a brook trout on the fly, harvesting a whitetail buck with a muzzleloader and taking a pair of ruffed grouse on the wing in a single day.

Currently, Highland Lodges in Scotland offers a MacNab Challenge hosted at the Aberchalder Estate near Invergarry in the West of Scotland for roughly $2500 per person.

Meals, lodging, transportation, gratuities, trophy fees and airfare are all extra.

A New York state Sportsman’s license costs $47, and it entitles the holder to take fish, fowl and game.

Typically, the day begins at dawn on the River Garry where an experienced Ghillie assists attempts to catch a salmon on the fly.

Anglers are later whisked off to heather covered mountains to stalk a Red Deer Stag and the day is completed after shooting a brace of grouse on the wing.

It is conducted under the guidance and advice of experienced Ghillies, Stag Stalkers and Gamekeepers. Fees include all licenses and permits.

Rods, reels, flies, waders, rifles, shotguns and ammunition are all extra.

In the Adirondacks, the annual trout season concludes on Oct. 15, and the Muzzleloader Season for Whitetail Deer begins on Oct. 13. Ruffed Grouse season opens on Sept. 20 and runs through Feb. 28, 2013.

For the current year, opportunities to accomplish an Adirondack version of The Macnab are limited to just three days, from Oct. 13 through 15. The effort will require catching a brook trout on the fly, harvesting a whitetail buck with a muzzleloader and taking a pair of ruffed grouse on the wing in a single day. Good luck, and take plenty of pictures!

STONY CREEK — Thousand Acres Ranch held a Car Show and Cruise-In the weekend of Aug. 25 and 26, and the event attracted several hundred visitors to scrutinize about 40 vehicles, including classic and custom sedans, trucks, motorcycles and even tractors.

Winners in various categories were chosen by public vote, and 22 trophies were awarded. Entries were primarily from the Glens Falls region and Capital District, but some vehicles were from as far away as Vermont.

A barbecue lunch was served under the Thousand Acres pavilion while AfterFX deejay provided the music. The event featured a “Tex-Mex” barbecue Saturday night with entertainment provided by the band Roadhouse.

Thousand Acres has held car shows in the past, but this is the first one held under new general managers Jim and Michelle Prybylski in conjunction with promoter Steve Lobban, who organizes the Lake George Hot Rod Show held at Million Dollar Beach.

“We were happy with the turnout for the first year and look forward to growing the show next year,” Michelle Prybylski said. “It was a lot

Balloon Fest to celebrate 40th anniversary

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — The renowned Adirondack Balloon Festival is observing its 40th anniversary this year, and a giant birthdaycake shaped balloon will be launched to kickoff the 2012 edition of the fest to celebrate this landmark occasion.

The balloon festival, considered the premier event of its kind in the nation because of its family-friendly nature, is to be held Thursday Sept. 20 through Sunday Sept. 23 this year.

The birthday cake balloon is 80 feet tall, and has 12-foot high candles. It is to be inflated during the festival’s opening ceremonies, set for 5 p.m. Thursday Sept. 20 in Crandall Park, on upper Glen St. in Glens Falls.

Also to be featured at the festival is the “T.Rex” balloon that will tower over all others, according to a prepared statement released by the event’s organizers.

Depicting a Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur, the craft is 12 stories tall. It is piloted by

Ernie Lee of Toronto, Canada.

Another fancifully shaped balloon is “Clawd the Crazy Crab,” which sports an engaging grin. The colorful creature is to be flown by veteran pilot Jim Regan, a firefighter from Kensington Ct. Other specially shaped balloons to be featured include “Betty Jean,” called the “world’s most beautiful butterfly” and “Spyder Pig.” Festival organizers say this array of about a dozen unusually-shaped balloons is the most in the festival’s four-decade history.

While the balloon fest opens Thursday afternoon in Crandall Park — followed by an evening block party in downtown Glens Falls — it moves to Floyd Bennett Airport off Queensbury Ave. beginning at 3 a.m. Friday Sept. 21, where it continues through Sunday with morning and late afternoon launches.

At 8 p.m. Friday, Lake George hosts the ever-popular “Moonglow” event which several pilots in Battlefield Park near the lake light up their balloons for a crowd-pleasing spectacle.

New this year for the balloon festival is

special designated parking near Warren County’s Floyd Bennett Airport — the headquarters for the festival — with a fee of $15 for the entire weekend.

Festival organizers announced that CNN recently named the Adirondack Balloon Festival as one of “Seven Breathtaking Balloon

Adventures,” alongside ballooning events in France, Turkey and Canada.

The festival, considered one of three most popular annual events in Warren County, event annually draws tens of thousands of people into the area.

Farmers’ market from page 1

Warrensburg Court Report Aug. 15: Judge Bryan Winslow • Abigail Kimmelman of Mountain Lakes, NJ was arraigned on a charge of speeding 95 mph in a 65 mph zone at 4:29 p.m. Aug. 8 southbound on I-87 Northway. Her case was adjourned to Aug. 29.

• Mark T. Miller, 39, of James St. in Warrensburg was arraigned on a charge of DWI based on a traffic stop at 11:15 p.m. July 24 on Echo Lake Rd. He is also charged with driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08

Widlunds, Lamm to be honored BRANT LAKE — Carl Lamm of Chestertown and Elise and William “Woody” Widlund of North River are to be honored for dedicated service to others — at the annual Community Champions dinner sponsored by Hudson Headwaters Health Network.

The banquet celebrating these northern Warren County citizens — and to raise fund for Hudson Headwaters — is to be held Sunday, Sept. 9 at Jimbo's Club, Point O'Pines camp on Brant Lake.

"The purpose of the dinner is to honor deserving friends and to celebrate the Network's service to the area," Hudson Head-

percent or more. Police said his blood-alcohol level was 0.12 percent.

• In a plea Bargain, Edward Brayman, 47. of Athol pled Guilty to Unlicensed Driver in satisfaction of an original charge of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation. He paid a fine and surcharge totaling $135.

• The cases of David Simmes, Keith Sonley, and Joshua Warren were adjourned to Aug. 22. The case of Joseph Giustino was adjourned to Sept. 5. waters CEO John Rugge said. "The funds we raise support our mission: to provide high quality health care to everyone in the communities we serve, regardless of insurance or financial status."

Lamm and the Widlunds have both established charitable funds. Carl Lamm founded the Helpers Fund — a charity that assists Chestertown-area residents in need, and Elise and Woody Widlund are in charge of the Rivendell Foundation.

Tickets to the fundraising event begin at $125. Raffle tickets are also available for a Hornbeck ultra-lightweight canoe. Tickets are $25; only 200 will be sold. For information, call 761-0300 ext. 31112.

leader of the Chester ’s downtown revitalization committee — refuted the allegations and defended the market, point by point.

Her points received hearty applause from the audience. Also, the conduct of the market was praised by the board.

Tennyson said in his letter that vendors trucks were parked on the sod that was just planted as part of the Veterans’ Memorial Plaza project. Dower countered that no vendors had parked on the sod, but on old grass that hadn’t been watered regularly and was dead. She said that those vendors who needed ready access to their inventory were parked in appropriate places where they wouldn’t hurt the lawn.

Referring to a complaint by Tennyson that one market attendee picked town flowers and that a child or two had climbed on a monument, she said the incidents weren’t necessarily problems caused by the market, but were simply inappropriate behavior.

She noted that the traffic “problems” were actually an indication of a positive trend.

She said it was the goal of town leaders to boost traffic into downtown Chestertown to patronize local businesses and boost the economy — and eventually fill up the empty storefronts with viable businesses.

The market has been bringing in an average of 500 or so people each Wednesday into town, which is in line with that objective, she said. She also noted that the specific parking problems were being dealt with by volunteers as they occurred.

At the meeting, Florence Converse — a supervisor at Grand Union — said the extra traffic in town during the market was boost-

ing the store’s revenue by about $1,000 per hour. it was reported that Grand Union has added staff on Wednesdays to handle the increase in business.

Later, Hemlock Ledge Restaurant owner Steve Caunter said he recently decided to offer lunch, after seeing the flood of traffic through town mid-day on Wednesdays.

“The farmers’ market has been incredible — it’s a real boost for the town,” he said.

“We’re now doing really well on Wednesdays.”

At the meeting, Dower noted that if the market were moved to Dynamite Hill, it would defeat its purpose, with patrons continuing to bypass downtown.

Don Butler of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance, an action-oriented group seeking to boost commerce, praised the market’s influence on the local economy.

“It’s the greatest thing that’s hit Chestertown in a long time,” he said. “It’s the talk of the town.”

Referring to complaint from a Warrensburg resident — penned in a letter — that it was “disrespectful” to veterans to have the market nearby, a woman in the audience said the veterans’ memorials get far more people appreciating them with the market being adjacent.

“The memorials get a lot more exposure — people from the market go over and examine the monuments, and the benches give them places to sit and reflect,” she said.

After several town board members voiced kudos for the market, Chester Supervisor Fred Monroe took his turn.

“The market has been very successful, and very good for the town,” he said. We’re glad all the volunteers invested so much time into the market.”

State land purchase

Fall Edition

from page 1

In the past, Finch had selectively harvested portions of it to supply their paper mill in Glens Falls.

Monroe said the purchase contradicts the state land master plan, which specifies that the state should be careful to achieve a balance between forest preservation and reserving lands for producing forest products.

“The master plan says the state should not buy highly productive forest lands outright — because the forest products industry is so important to the economy of the Adirondacks — unless it is threatened by development,” Monroe said, noting that the land bought wasn’t at risk of development.

Monroe noted that Finch Paper will be forced to travel ever further — to Maine or Canada —to obtain the wood they need to produce their paper. He said the purchase, in today’s stressed business climate, threatened the survival of Finch Paper and other mills, as well as dozens of familyowned sawmills in the Adirondacks.

“The state says they’re ‘Open for Business,’ but that’s not true in the Park,” he said. “They’re determined to ship jobs out of the Adirondacks.”

Monroe noted that through the acquisition, 200 camps would be eliminated, and 1,600 building rights would be extinguished.

Citing the Warren County board’s resolution, Monroe called for the state to provide $50,000 — a sum similar to the purchase price — towards promoting economic development and infrastructure investment to offset the loss to the economy of the Adirondacks.

“It’s very clear this will have a serious impact on the area’s economy,” he said.

Glens Falls Ward 3 Supervisor Bud Taylor applauded the idea of seeking compensation.

“This is a great move,” he said. “The state does what it can to hamper the economy up here, and then they send the economic development money downstate,” he said.

County Board of Supervisors chairman Dan Stec said the state’s action seemed to contradict its longstanding commitment to maintaining a balance between preserving the economy and culture of the Adirondacks, while protecting the forests.

“The state should strike a compromise reasonable to all, divvying up acreage for preservation, recreation and working forest that’s selectively harvested,” he said.

Despite losing talented players to graduation, the Cougars’ soccer team has formidable prospects for 2011, Humiston said.

and are competitive regardless — because of the school’s tough, disciplined soccer program as well as the character and determination of the Cougar athletes.

In practice, the North Warren soccer team is subjected to challenging drills. The players this year are responding by concentrating on honing their skills, developing reflexes and boosting their endurance, the coach said.

“Our players know how to work hard,” he said. “Our success this year will be a matter of fine-tuning skills and finding the best fit for the team.”

plished, versatile athlete Ethan Schenke — both key players on last year ’s soccer team, Humiston said.

Senior Robert French will be moving into the goalie position, where he will undoubtedly be putting his physical approach to good use for the team.

Schenke has a reputation of controlling midfield play, and he’s able to assume multiple positions as needed.

“With his versatility, Ethan is one of the best players in the Adirondack League,” Humiston said.

North Warren perpetually faces an uphill fight in sports, as its low enrollment means its teams compete against farlarger schools. The teams annually respond to the challenge

NWCS field hockey

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — It’s been only two years since North Warren High School’s “Miracle Squad” of dedicated field hockey players captured regional attention.

That gritty, determined Cougar team was initially ranked last in the league, but they ignored the lowly label and clawed through a season game by game, capturing one victory after another in an improbable but successful mission to capture the Adirondack league cochampionship.

Those 2010 players wrote a chapter in school history books — and the spirit from that campaign has continued to provide inspiration, not just for North Warren students, but for all smallschool athletes in Northern Warren County.

The North Warren Hockey team followed up in 2011 with a runner-up title in the Adirondack League, losing to the undefeated rival Johnsburg team that featured eight seniors who played together since fourth grade.

It’s a new year, with new competitive opportunity, coach Lynn Lewis said this week after watching her team members battle for ball control in an early-morning

practice.

“We’re regrouping and replacing key offensive and defensive positions all over the field, but these players know how to win,” she said.

“Our players are young, but they are talented and dedicated, and they are willing to work hard.”

Although eight starting North Warren players graduated in June, moving up into leadership roles are seniors Dakota Wood, Krista Millington and Amber Frasier, Lewis said. They will be backed up by talented younger players including standout Kerrianne Belline, an athletic sophomore drafted from the school’s winning Junior Varsity Squad.

“The JV players moving up have a good work ethic, they get along, they’re dedicated, and they want to be here,” she said.

The players’ dedication to the sport is demonstrated by their participation in weeklong field hockey camps at Syracuse University and Skidmore College.

Lewis said her players are concentrating on skill development and teamwork, so their actions on the field become second nature and virtually reflexive.

“Practices are going well as players are adjusting to their new roles and positions,” she said.

Also, the team is ignited with enthusiasm over this year ’s field hockey prospects, as Wood and Frasier were on that miracle squad that earned a permanent place in the hearts of North Warren citizens.

Lewis said she expects the 2012 team to show the character and determination their 2010 and 2011 predecessors did, and become the pride of the school.

“Our players will be stepping up and enjoying a really competitive season,” she said, noting her team is aiming for the Adirondack League championship and taking their campaign into Sectional II tournament play.

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Despite ever-tougher competition in the Adirondack League, the North Warren Cross-Country team is likely to continue its tradition of substantial success, considering its roster of experienced athletes and dominant program.

The Cougars long-distance runners have captured one title after another over the years, and this tradition will likely continue in 2012.

All the boys from last year ’s team — which achieved second-place in the League last year — are returning for 2012.

“We’re anticipating vast improvements this year,” Cougar Cross-Country Coach Bernie McCann said this week.

The girls’ squad won the Adirondack League Championship last year as it did in the prior two, and it placed second in the Section II tournament. The girls team has only experienced one league

The Cougar runners keep in top shape with jump rope drills, core exercises, 10 minutes of yoga, followed by running 7 miles around Chestertown, up and down hills, explained McCann, one of the winningest upcounty coaches in recent history.

Two Cougar girls advanced to the 2011 state championship meets, including 2012 team member Megan Erickson, who’s been competing in the state tournament three years so far.

Erickson, renowned in the region for her fast times and endurance, will be leading this year ’s girls squad.

Another standout is Sophomore Ellie Underwood, who’s been running competitively since 7th grade.

“She’s got incredible potential,” McCann said.

Over the past decade, the boys squad has won more than 100 meets and lost only about 20, McCann recalled.

WARRENSBURG Burgher muscle and talent raise expectations for gridiron season

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — For a half-dozen years, Warrensburg football fans have faced each season with high hopes, but finished them off with frustration, having experienced thrilling plays, aggressive field action yet seeing games end up with

scores that don’t fully reflect the talent and determination of their players.

The team’s brilliant drives have been often cut short by unexpected turnovers or blunders.

This year could bring a big change of course, as the football team has new strength in some critical areas that have been lacking.

The offensive line, a weak

point in recent years, is loaded with veteran blockers, and they are all beefing up by working hard in the weight room, Burgher Football Coach Mike Leonbruno said.

“By far, this is the strongest team we’ve had for

years,” Leonbruno said.

“Also, we’re much further ahead this year in practices than we have been at this time last year.”

The steely offensive line is likely to give veteran back Marcus Perrone, elevated to quarterback in 2012, suffi-

cient time to make the spontaneous plays he needs to in moving the Burghers downfield, Leonbruno predicted.

“Perrone makes good decisions on the field, he controls the ball and gets it where it needs to be,” he said. “He’s got confidence

Burghers have talent, work ethic

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Looking through fog lifting off the hockey field, Warrensburg Varsity Field Hockey Coach Mary ann Bump watched her players perform drills in an early-morning practice session.

Between calling out ball-handling tips to her players, Bump reflected on the season's prospects.

“Moving with Mojo is our theme this year,” she said after urging a player to run faster in chasing the ball.

With a reorganization of the Adirondack League and rival Johnsburg losing a lot of talent to graduation, this year offers a prime opportunity for Warrensburg to prevail, Bump said.

For decades, Warrensburg was a dominant force in hockey regionally, often capturing the Adirondack League title, winning Sectional titles, even ending up in state championship finals in 2001.

Four years ago, the Burgher field hockey

team won the Adirondack League and Class C Section II championships.

But experiencing declining enrollment and ever-tougher competition, Warrensburg has experienced several lackluster seasons recently.

The 2012 team includes a strong core group of veteran players, including Korynn Raymond, Cregan Callahan, Kerrigan Roth, Merissa Hayes, and Braydin Smith to lead the team.

Raymond was the team’s leading scorer in 2011 and Kerrigan is showing similar traits of her older sister Abby, who was drafted in 2009 for Division I hockey.

Bump said the 2012 squad — showing a commitment in practice, working very hard toward skill development and acquiring field vision — appears to have the determination to live up to the Burgher legacy.

“We’ve got promising athletes in all positions,” she said. “And with the team’s hard work, we’ll be moving forward to our goals of securing the Adirondack League championship and returning to sectional finals.”

WCS launches X-C running team

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Cross-Country running, a program dormant for at least 30 years at Warrensburg High School, is now being revived — and a substantial number of students have signed up for the debut year.

New recruits are joining the team every day, coaches Brian Winchell and Doug West said Aug. 27 moments before they introduced two new members of the squad to the team, poised to take a practice run circling the town.

LAKE GEORGE Warrior football players preparing for comeback season

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The football program in northern Warren County renowned for its long history of combative, intense but exciting football is now working hard for a dramatic comeback from several lackluster seasons.

The team’s 2011 campaign, featuring talented players but many injuries, ended up 4-5 overall.

The Lake George High School football coaches, normally conservative in their outlook, are predicting a substantial turnaround. They’ve set their sights on a 2012 campaign more like the one five years ago, which featured an undefeated season in which their team shattered virtually every school record for their sport.

This year ’s players have the attributes which enable them to achieve such expectations, coach Jeff Bennett said this week.

“We have good, tough, solid kids, and they work hard — everybody is out there to really play football,” she said. “It will be a good year.”

Bennett said the players are aggressive and physical.

“Our guys have a willingness to hit — they like to go to the ball and really hit hard.”

Speed will also be a factor leading to the team’s success, Bennett predicted.

“The players really got the legs to get where they need to go — they really can run — and we’re excited about it,” he said. “It’s not only genetics — they have quick motor reflexes — but it’s also conditioning. There are no slow kids out on our field. Even our big players can run fast.”

Among the returning backfield players returning is Willy Blunt, who played quarterback a few initial games in 2011, but was sidelined with a concussion. He’s likely to play tailback this year.

Blunt is joined by the talented running back Alex LaBruzzo. Nate Fidd is also returning as linebacker and tight end.

All of the above were standouts last season.

The 2012 Lake George Varsity Football Team includes (front row, left to right): Art Barber, Alex Labruzzo, Hunter Bosy, Dylan Stein, Nate Fidd, Willy Blunt, Jordan Clark, Brandon St. John, (row 2): Brendan Johnson, Bryan Kane, Tyler Brown, Adam Agresta, Tom Clark, Floyd Bombard, (row 3): Cassius Allen, Austin Gentner, Patrick Barber, Mark Mellon, Jake Pagnotta, Mallar Peters, Nate Moores, (row 4): Craig Malcolm, Willie Arnold, Mike Forceone, Kyle Young, Noah Brumagen, Brett Parsons, Ricky Jowly, Forrest Kubricky, Arthur Burnett, and Kyle Bachem.

They are joined by Junior Tyler Brown, who observers say is promising as the team’s playmaker. One of his strengths is throwing from the perimeter, or on the run.

Brown will have an edge in that he’ll be given sufficient time to make such plays —protected by a tough, strong offensive line.

Although Lake George is known primarily for their ground attack, Brown will likely be throwing to several new receivers. Bennett said that as of this week, several players are jockeying for that role.

“We will have a solid core of receivers,” Bennett said.

Also on board for 2012 are Dylan Stein at guard and de-

fensive end, a position in which Art Barber will also be serving, plus Patrick Barber at nose tackle.

“Arty is big, strong and fast — and he looks great — and his brother, Patrick Barber is even bigger,” Bennett said.

This last week, the players were bashing into each other with gusto, preparing for the season, which opens with contests against three tough teams: the ever-strong Greenwich and Canajoharie, large schools that both dropped down from Class C to D, plus the storied Cambridge squad.

Bennett said that starting off with such a tough schedule would prepare the Warriors well for the remainder of the season, and help them compete well in Sectionals.

“A lot of the team members can play defense, forward or midfield,” he said.

“They are all very wellrounded.”

The team features a young but talented goaltender, Kerry Walker, who moved up from the Modified squad, where she’s gained valuable experience, McLaughlin said.

He said he’s coaching his players to develop a balanced scoring attack, while avoiding a “run and gun” style of play.

“We’ll play good defense, and take the opportunities as they come up,” he said.

McLaughlin said he has high expectations for the season.

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Soccer team, which in 2011 battled hard all season and won various accolades, is likely to have another great year in 2012, sports observers have predicted.

Their 2012 campaign, which included an Adirondack League Western Division title, was capped off with a Sectional run that ended in a suspenseful, aggressive matchup in the finals against the team’s nemesis, Maple Hill. The playoff game ended in an overtime loss.

Graduating from that 2011 team, were the athletic David Bruno, talented 6’4” goalie Brian Moll and two central defenders, Jackson Donnelly and Will Connelly.

Key returning players, however, are likely to fill the void. These veterans include Carson Lambert, a four-year Varsity player, and Mason Vreugde, the 2011 team’s high scorer. They are joined by Sasha Goodman, a three-year starter, and Jake McMahon, a four-year player who’s consid-

ered a great ball handler. Both are to play midfield. The 2012 team also includes threeyear starter Brian Stoya, the lone returning defensive player, coach Blake White said.

“Our veteran core players are really special,” he said, noting that the team has particular talent at the midfield and forward positions.

While Moll and Greg Rosenthal served as dual goaltenders last year, Rosenthal is back, alone in that position, White said.

“Greg is really experienced, and he’s looking great this year,” he said. “He should be able to hold the fort down if we don’t give up too many chances.”

The Lake George soccer program is renowned for its success under White, who has served 31 years as coach.

In recent years, the team achieved an undefeated season in 2008, winning the Sectional championship. In 2010, the team battled deep into the Sectional tourney.

This year, the team is aiming to win the Sectional title and continue into the regional competition.

LAKE GEORGE — Lake George Girls Soccer Coach Mike McLaughlin was on the hot seat last year.

McLaughlin took over the coaching position after long-time coach Joel Gordon was terminated due to an administrative conflict, a decision that raised an uproar with the players in 2011, as well as the Lake George community.

Some wondered whether McLaughlin and the team would share the chemistry that Gordon did with his players, achieving championships year after year.

While Gordon’s charisma, enthusiasm and empathetic approach inspired the girls to garner a string of titles, some questioned whether McLaughlin’s style, which included elements of military-style mentoring, would be successful.

The proof is now in the record books. In 2011, the girls won the Adirondack League, tallying 10-0 in league play and 11-5 overall.

Although the team lost five standout players from this accomplished team — including two-time league MVP Rebecca Kandora — McLaughlin has nine seniors returning and a lot of other experienced younger play-

ers on board.

Late last week, McLaughlin followed his traditional routine, reading passages from the ancient book “Art of War” by Sun Tzu, circa 500 BC. he reminded the girls that for many, many centuries, successful generals read the same passages to their troops, preparing them for battle.

“The book explains how to win conflicts,” he said of the lengthy treatise on warfare strategy.

Whether they really needed instruction, however, on how to overpower enemy troops — however, might be subject to debate. The girls demonstrated skills more specific to their sport this week, with their swift accurate kicks, efficient passing, and savvy field vision.

McLaughlin praised their abilities.

“My core group of talented senior girls will be providing leadership, and there’s a lot of talent in the younger players too,” he said.

The seniors are Emma Underwood, captain, plus Giselle Shaw, Amy Sanders, Vanessa Baird, Kelsey Alfonso, Josette Riley, Jessica Bauder, Morgan Rivette, and Marlena Rovetto.

Mclaughlin said the experienced players have been cross-trained to serve in various positions.

BOLTON LANDING Bolton boys soccer team has depth, experience

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — The Bolton Central Soccer team is poised to experience yet another stellar year, considering the depth of the team and their skill level, area sports observers have said.

Last year, Bolton had a shallow team but three outstanding athletes: top scorers Kevin Pratt, Billy Smith and Section II Goalkeeper of the Year Mitchell Jordon plus regionally acclaimed Todd Markham. The team fought into a latter round of the Section II tournament, after recording 15 wins and merely a few losses. Their 2011 campaign ended with a 1-2 defeat by Argyle in double overtime.

This year, lack of depth — which can wear players down in a lengthy contest — isn’t an issue.

Returning talented veterans include not only Smith and Pratt — referred to by the area daily as “the two-headed monster scoring threat’ — plus fellow seniors Kelton Donohue, Dustin French and Eric Onjack, who also garnered regional acclaim in 2011.

Taking over for Mitchell Jordon as goalie is experienced Senior Carl Ciccarelli, who played all season last year as the Junior Varsity starting goalkeeper, Assistant Coach Scott McCarthy said.

“Our strength this year is experience,” he said. “We have more than a half-dozen returning Seniors, and every other

player on the team served as a starter on JV in 2011.”

McCarthy said he has high expectations for the group. Head coach Francisco Roca was unavailable for comment this week — He was in Spain.

“This is one of the most talented groups we’ve had in last several years, considering their skills, ability and knowledge of the game,” McCarthy said, adding that many of the team members play league soccer in winter, spring and summer to maintain their skills and game reflexes. “We’re so excited to have so many talented players coming back this year.”

McCarthy also had praise for his mentor, Francisco Roca, who was elevated this year to Ath- The 2012 Bolton Boys Soccer team includes (front row, left to right): Carson Fitzgerald, Andy Kirk, Eric Onjack, letic Director.

WCS volleyball team determined to blaze new path

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Full of energy and enthusiasm, Warrensburg’s 2012 volleyball team is poised to chart a new course, coach Stephanie Gordon said this week.

Armed with a positive attitude, the players are determined to shake off a decade of seasons in which they were languishing at the bottom of the Adirondack League standings.

Their commitment to this mission is demonstrated by their participation in double practice sessions to boost their fitness, learn their fundamentals, and hone their ball-handling skills, Gordon continued.

“The players are working hard together, they’re getting the skills down and they have a willingness to learn,” she said.

In the mid-1990s, the Warrensburg volleyball

team was annually a top contender for the Adirondack League title — but then fell into a prolonged slump. During the last several years, the volleyball program was almost scrapped in school district budget cuts.

However, 2012 may be the turnaround year, Gordon said.

Six seniors are back to lead the team: Amy Toolan, Katie Riddle, Nequia Langabeer, Sara Walczak, Andra Leigh Apple and Ashley Barnaby.

These players had a rare taste of victory at the end of the 2011 season when they beat Corinth after 10 straight losses, Gordon said.

“The girls are determined to repeat that feeling,” she said of the rare win. “We’re hoping that we’ll pick up this year where we left off last fall.”

This year ’s players are demonstrating a dedication to the sport and a spirit of teamwork along with their contagious enthusiasm, Gordon said.

“The team has good chemistry, everyone’s friends — it’s all good stuff,” Gordon said.

WCS runners Winchell, a wrestling and youth football coach, said he initiated the Cross-Country team to get more local students active in sports.

“I saw a lot of kids in Warrensburg not involved in contact sports, so I pushed for it, there was enough interest, and it developed,” Winchell said.

Winchell recruited his son, Trevor, who is a wrestler, and talked with new school board member Doug West, whose son Austin is also a wrestler. They both thought that CrossCountry would be an ideal way for athletes involved in winter sports to gain endurance in the preceding season.

Winchell recruited West, who began distance running about three years ago to lower his blood pressure and cholesterol, to also serve as coach. Both are serving on a volunteer basis.

Other WCS wrestlers, including Beecher Baker, Lane Oehler, Denver Berry and Will Yarmowich, joined Trevor and Austin on the squad.

LGCS Cross Country

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For years, the Lake George High School Cross-Country team has upheld a tradition of inclusiveness and enjoyed a spirit of family.

This approach has encouraged students to achieving their personal best, and they’ve turned out a large number of championship athletes in the process. The Lake George long-distance squad is one of the rare teams that combines the junior-high grades with the upper-class athletes.

This year, the family spirit — the experienced athletes looking after the younger ones — will be important in rebuilding a team that’s lost some top athletes to graduation, Coach Scott Smith said this week.

“Everybody has a place on our team, regardless of speed,” he said. “This is what cross country is all about — inclusiveness,

LGCS Volleyball

friendly attitude and sportsmanship.”

In recent years, this mentorship has prompted a rising team population in the last several seasons, and it’s spurred achievement and some glory — the boys team won the Adirondack League title in 2009 and 2010, and the girls squad won the title in 2008.

This year is without a doubt a rebuilding year — although new, promising runners are stepping into the roles of some outstanding athletes.

On the boys team, the talented runners Travis Tucker and Richard Jelley graduated, but returning are promising athletes Senior Daniel Jardine — who’s squad captain, as well as John Ferrone, backed up by underclassmen Jacob Montana, Ethan McGowan and Max O’Connell.

Returning for the girls squad are veterans Sophie Ferrone, Erika Abrantes, Emma Collins, Jessica Huber and Tiara Palazzo, Coach Scott Smith said.

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Year after year, Lake George Volleyball Coach Cathy Stanilka has been cautious about forecasting the outcome of any season.

Each year, she takes promising players, and engages them in a demanding practice routine, including a daily roster of drills that hone their skills and develops teamwork.

This rigorous approach has paid off as lake George has dominated volleyball regionally over the last quarter century — the team has won the Section II championship no less than 16 consecutive years.

As recently as 2009, the team won the Adirondack League and was runner-up in Section II. The prior year, the Warriors racked up league, sectional and regional championships, ending up in the State Championship Final Four.

In recent years, however, the competition has adopted similar strategies, particularly Adirondack League teams from Washington County, which have recently been in annual contention for league and Section II championships.

In 2010, the Lake George volleyball team had a 16-4 record, and won the Adirondack League, despite some grueling competition.

Last year, Lake George’s falling enrollment, as well as the toughened competition took its toll. Lake George tallied an uncharacteristic 10-10 record, despite a lot of dedicated work.

The 2012 team, shows promise, however.

While talented athletes Amanda Chambers, Courtney Casey, Hayley Humiston, Amanda Mastropietro and Chelsea Sipowicz all graduated, experienced players are returning to form the team’s core.

“We’re approaching it one day at a time, one goal at a time,” Stanilka said.

Bolton Girls Soccer team is loaded with talent thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — Traditionally, as sports seasons start, news reporters hear countless coaches voice a common cliche as they talk of their teams’ prospects.

“It’s a rebuilding year,” they say, lamenting the loss of a lineup of stars to graduation.

But while the Bolton High School Girls Soccer team lost no less than seven 2011 seniors to graduation, coach Patrick Morency didn’t utter the trite phrase this week.

He’s got an experienced roster returning, including some athletes who have achieved regional acclaim.

Among those returning is Olivia Seamans, a sophomore who is a three-time Adirondack League All-Star and a two-time Section II All-Star. She’ll be taking on the role of lead forward attacker, scoring a lot of goals for the team, Morency said. Seamans was the top scorer for the team in 2011.

“Olivia is a really gifted athlete,” he said.

“She’s got a lot of speed and its deceptive how strong she really is.”

Morency added that Seamans invests a lot of time in soccer camps and plays travel-

team soccer off-season.

Joining her on the team is her sister Abbie Seamans, who was a league All-Star as a 7th grader playing Varsity in 2011.

This duo will be joined by Senior Sydney LaPan, a five-year Varsity player who’s a talented defender, as well as three-year Varsity starter Kim Wright who is so versatile she can battle at virtually any position, but she’ll likely spend most time as a midfield defender, Morency said.

Then there’s Sophomore Sarah Calzada, who in 2011 was awarded honorable mention league All-Star. She played every minute of every game last season, and is talented at controlling the midfield, Morency said.

“Sarah’s a workhorse soccer player,” he said. “I can always count on her.”

The roster of talent is even deeper.

Freshman Erin Courtney, who also won a league All-Star title in 2011, is returning as well. Despite all the 2011 individual accolades, the team tallied 5-8-2 last year in the highly competitive Adirondack League, new for the program. Most of the outstanding players were young, and may have needed more experience, observers have said.
