thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Brimming with holiday spirit from a bygone era, the 24th annual Christmas in Warrensburgh celebration is to be held the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1-2 with events throughout town.

Warrensburg Health Center plans revealed

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The proposed new Warrensburg Health Center complex, to be developed mid-town this coming year, is planned to include a riverside park, a main building with far more exam rooms, and architecture featuring European-style towers with

arches and glass.

Local officials said this week the health center complex will permanently transform the downtown streetscape.

Construction on the development, expected to cost about $8 million, is expected to begin this spring.

Richard Jones, the architect designing the new health center, presented the Warrensburg Town Planning Board

Nov. 20 with sketches and a site plan.

The board received the plan with enthusiasm and compliments.

“This is a welcome addition to our town,” planning board chairman Shale Miller said.

With more than double the present floor space, the health center is expected to accommodate more patient visits CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Warrensburg Central may outsource school meals

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Warrensburg Central School District may soon be turning over its kitchen and cafeteria operations to private enterprise — and the change is anticipated to

save taxpayer money but involve cuts to jobs and employee benefits, officials said this week.

The changeover is expected to save taxpayers about $50,000 annually, but reduce food service workers’ hours plus curtail or eliminate most workers’ benefits, area school administrators said this week.

Warrensburg Central recently advertised for bids on providing breakfast and lunch for its students.

Bids will be opened at 9:30 a.m.

Dec. 3 at the school, and they will be subject to a vote by the school board that evening, school superintendent Tim Lawson said this week.

Tuesday, Dec. 12. For details, see: www.youthadvocate.net.

All are welcome to both sessions.

mrs.butterfly-10@hotmail.com

Talk topic: reaching out to youth

Museum open during local fest

Warren County is very fortunate to have youth advocate Irv West adopt Thurman as his home.

For decades, he has worked tirelessly to inspire at-risk youth — which some people in our society turn their backs on — to follow a new fulfilling path in life.

He also possesses of knowledge on how to reach out and communicate with youth — that may simply be obstinate, or perhaps dealing with critical issues that may not be apparent.

Recently, he chronicled much of his experience in a book, “Breaking the Rules,” which details his fresh approach of building of the strength and courage of struggling youth, rather than being adversarial with them by enacting needless rules, or trying to impose one’s will on their lives. We hear the book is full of concrete examples, drawn from his personal experiences.

Just a reminder — This Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1 and 2, the Warrensburgh Museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the Christmas in Warrensburgh festival. Refreshments will be served both days.

The weekend features the opening of the museum’s holiday exhibit, "Our Toys" which promises to be a lot of fun.

The exhibit includes toys and games from the 1920s into the 1980s. As always, Museum admission is free. For details, contact the museum at 623-2928 or check out the website at www.whs12885.org/museum.html.

Also, reservations are due by Monday, Dec. 3 for the annual Holiday Dinner of the Warrensburgh Historical Society. The event is to be held Friday, Dec. 7 at Lizzie Keays Restaurant, 89 River St. For reservations, contact the restaurant at 504-4043. Entree choices are Italian Stuffed Chicken, Grilled Bistro Steak, or Seafood Sampler Platter. The price of $28 includes tax and tip. All are welcome.

Town water use slashed

New dog Warden as Hall retires

By Thom Randall

Also, Geraghty announced that Brenda Barrett is to become the town Dog Warden as of Dec. 21, replacing Dave Hall who is retiring. Geraghty praised Hall’s performance, noting he has served in the position since 1981.

“Dave’s done an admirable job,” Geraghty said. “I’m sure we’ll miss him, but Brenda is willing and ready to do the job.”

Geraghty joked that in six months, she might change her mind.

“Welcome, Brenda — and farewell to Dave,” he said, noting that residents are now to call 538-3648 with their canine concerns.

The board passed a resolution formally making all town owned recreational properties tobacco-free. Signs to declare the status are to be provided at no charge by the regional Tobacco-Free Coalition.

Although the resolution was initially drafted to cover all town properties, the board decided that it should apply to just the recreational facilities.

In other business, the town board: • Voted to purchase a one-year music performance license from the American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers (ASCAP) so musicians at the town bandstand concerts could perform music protected by the union.

• Approved payment of $608 to the Warrensburgh Historical Society, drawn from Occupancy Tax Funds, for a newspaper advertisement.

• Agreed to pay $2,727 to Warrensburgh Beautification for advertising and spring flowering bulbs.

• Authorized paying $2,000 for a town ski program at Gore Mountain.

• Announced that the new town website is up and running, and that local businesses can obtain a link on the site to promote their respective businesses.

• Heard that on May 19, a bicycle rally based in Chestertown, with 100 bike riders, has Warrensburg as one of its primary stops.

The event is to feature a theme of fighting the global war on terrorism.

• Heard that a contest was launched to develop a new town logo designed. Entries are now being accepted at the town hall, or through the town website. The artist of the

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — A plot of prime downtown property — a vacant “brownfield” cordoned off for 12 years or so — will soon be available for commercial use, Warrensburg supervisor Kevin Geraghty told his town board this week.

After years of delay, a final engineering report was issued by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which concludes that the site, once the Econo-Quik Car Wash & Gas Station, is now free of pollution exceeding state standards.

In 2001, the DEC mandated a cleanup of the site due to underground fuel contamination from fuel tanks on the site. In the intervening years, the agency oversaw cleanup of the site.

DEC’s final approval, freeing up the property for resale, is pending. Once the agency issues this certification, the town will be seeking to take ownership and sell the prop-

Holiday Celebration set for Tannery Pond Community Center NORTH CREEK — The North Country Singers, under the direction of Denise Conti, invite you to their annual Holiday Celebration on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 7 pm and Sunday, Dec. 2, at 2 pm at Tannery Pond. Their repertoire will include Irving Berlin’s Christmas, In the Bleak Midwinter, featuring Carolyn Bischoff and Dan Studnicky, Carol of the Magi, featuring cellist, Demetria Koninis, and Hallelujah Chorus from the MESSIAH. The Holiday Celebration will also feature the Holiday Children’s Choir ’s musical, Home For the Holidays, the OTTG’s skit, “The Christmas Dress,” the JCS Jazz Band, Don Preuninger on piano, and Rob Smith singing O Holy Night.

Admission is free for this popular festive event.

chosen entry is to win goods and services donated by local businesses.

• Learned from local history museum director Steve Parisi that the museum is developing an audio tour for exhibits, to be playable through visitors’ cell phones. He also said that the Warrensburgh Historical Society was seeking to obtain one of the turbines used in the 1800s to harness water power for a local riverside mill.

• Were informed that most residents taking trash to the landfill are now segregating plastic materials for recycling. The first load of recyclable plastic transported recently for recycling earned the town $128 – plus the avoided cost of disposal, town board member Linda Baker Marcella said.

“In the long run, this will benefit everybody,” said Marcella,who has spearheaded expansion of recycling in town.

Sandi Parisi asked if such conservation efforts could be expanded to include composting leaves and lawn clippings. Supervisor Geraghty said the idea would be explored.

Citizens are slashing water use Also, the town board was informed that the recent conversion to water meters has enabled the town to shut down one of the three wells that it normally runs in winter, saving electricity and water purification costs. Town water superintendent Tom Belden said the town is now pumping 250,000 gallons per day instead of the average of $300,000 gallons per day. Town board member John Alexander noted that this cutback by local water customers would save the water district many thousands of dollars per year, which would be reflected in the savings passed on eventually to district residents. The reduction in water use also means that the water district – recently producing at capacity — can now accommodate new customers, including commercial clients, without expenses of developing new wells and storage capacity.

“Thanks to all those in the water district for hanging in there,” Alexander said, referring to the process of converting to meters.

Dec. 10 public forum set for Warrensburg Central budget WARRENSBURG — A community forum on the 2013-14 Warrensburg Central School District Budget is to be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10 in the high school Cafetorium.

This public meeting is the first of two scheduled forums to be held on the budget by Warrensburg Central’s Board of Education and the school district administration. “The district is seeking input from all stakeholders as it begins to discuss and develop the budget,” superintendent of schools Tim Lawson said in a prepared statement.

The goal of the forum is to ascertain community direction for budget planning, he said.

Lawson will provide information to district residents on the state budget, state aid, and its effect on our school’s current fiscal condition. The community’s input will be sought so the district can plan its budget with these aspects in mind.

School district residents are encouraged to attend. Lawson will provide a brief presentation. Attendees will then break out into small groups and provide input in a friendly and non-intimidating environment, school officials said. A board member will act as a facilitator at each table and record every participant’s views and report out the table’s priorities at the end of the event.

Results of the forum will be tabulated and posted on the school district website as well as emailed to all participants.

Reservations are not required. For details, call the district superintendent’s office at 623-2861, ext. 208.

Christmas bird count set The Lake George Land Conservancy is again seeking volunteers to help out with Audubon’s annual Christmas Bird Count, set for Saturday, Dec. 15. At least a dozen local volunteers are needed to ensure a good census for the Bolton circle.

Volunteers choose to survey routes by foot, car, or boat,

and submit bird counts as well as weather conditions and hours to the Conservancy, which then provides the compiled information to Audubon — which is no longer charging a participant fee.

“We’re proud to be part of this international effort,” said Sarah Hoffman of the Conservancy, who noted that the annual effort is the longest-running citizen science survey in the world.

Since 1991, the LGLC has acted as the clearinghouse of all data collected within 15-miles of Bolton Landing. On average, 1,299 individual birds are reported each year, with an average of 34 different species.

Counts are often family or community traditions that make for fascinating stories. Accuracy is assured by having new participants join an established group that includes at least one experienced birdwatcher. Count volunteers follow specified routes or can arrange in advance to count the birds at home feeders inside the circle and submit the results.

The Bird Counts are conducted between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5. Data collected is employed in scientific studies and provide input for decisions by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency. Because birds are early indicators of environmental threats to habitats in North America.

Last year ’s count broke records. A total of 63,223 people tallied over 60 million birds in counts held across North and South America. Anyone interested in volunteering for the Bolton Landing-area circle should contact Sarah Hoffman at 644-9673 or email shoffman@lglc.org by Dec. 7.

Foster Brook restored by Lake George Association LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Association recently completed a project to stabilize a section of Foster Brook in the hamlet of Huletts Landing, a shorefront community on Lake George.

The brook was severely eroded during last year ’s Tropical Storm Irene.

Substantial amounts of silt, gravel and debris was deposited along the banks of the stream and in the waterway, diverting the natural flow of the water.

This material was removed, and some was used, — along with purchased stone — to stabilize the stream banks.

Rock vanes were constructed to help direct storm flow and keep downstream banks protected. Large 36-to-48-inch stone was brought in to create the rock vane. A nearby off-line sediment basin, designed to handle

stormwater, along the stream was cleaned out; an estimated 35 cubic yards of material were removed. Areas that were disturbed were graded and covered with straw and seed.

Downstream where a secondary stream enters Foster Brook, a large amount of material was deposited.

The deposited material was pulled back against the eroding bank to stabilize it and open the stream channel. A second rock vane was installed to keep the flow of the stream in the middle of the channel and protect the other shoreline.

The project was funded through a grant from the Helen V. Froehlich Foundation.

Construction was completed by Nims Outdoor Services with some assistance from the Dresden town highway workers.

December 1, 2012 from page 1 hour, and increases to about $11 per hour after 20 years, Lawson said.

The school’s food service manager, who earns $35,000 per year or so, works full time.

All of the workers now earn retirement pensions and health benefits. Present food service manager, Linda Bennett, is scheduled to retire in late December.

Warrensburg Central’s food service operation, serving a student population of 785, costs about $400,000 per year, of which about $350,000 is reimbursed through state and federal aid, leaving a $50,000 average annual deficit for local citizens to shoulder through property taxes, Lawson said.

The proposed contract is to specify that the successful bidder conduct the cafeteria and kitchen operation on a break-even basis without any local taxpayer subsidy.

Private enterprise is able to run the operation at a lower cost primarily by curtailing or eliminating employee benefits like state retirement benefits — now costing 21 percent of employees’ salary and generous health care coverage, school officials said.

The proposed contract specifies that existing food workers have the opportunity to be interviewed for the new jobs. The contract

also stipulates that the school administrators have input on choosing a new food service manager.

Lawson said the public employees union representing the District’s present food service workers is asking for severance pay if privatizing occurs.

This week, rumors circulated in town that students would likely be fed microwaved, pre-packaged food, but such a scenario is not taking place at Fort Ann Central and Queensbury school districts, both which have outsourced their food service.

Queensbury’s Assistant Superintendent for Business, John DeSanto, said food served by their private contractor is ordered locally, features fresh vegetables and fruits, and is primarily prepared in the schools’ kitchens. Food service has been privatized in his school system for at least 20 years.

“These are not pre-packaged meals,” he said. “They prepare fresh salads among a variety of healthy options — We’re pleased with our private food service.”

Their operation, serving about 3 ,600 students spread among four buildings, cost $928,000 last school year, and the school annually receives a guaranteed minimum rebate from the firm of $30,000, DeSanto said.

Per pupil, Queensbury’s annual food service cost is about half of what Warrens-

burg now pays.

DeSanto noted that private firms not only save districts money, but they conduct rigorous food-safety training, and have specialists that oversee compliance with nutritional guidelines. They have extensive knowledge of what’s appetizing to children, he added.

Fort Ann Superintendent of Schools Maureen VanBuren said her district’s food service operation, privatized for about 10 years, serves 520 students. It has yielded a slight surplus each year, she said, eliminating the traditional deficit shouldered by taxpayers.

VanBuren said the food is prepared in the school’s kitchen, as it was when it was operated by the district.

“The quality of the food has been outstanding,” she said. “They’ve worked hard to make sure the food is flavorful, attractive and appetizing.”

Chartwells, Inc. is Fort Ann’s food service provider.

VanBuren said the present food service manager and various food workers were former school district employees, and they were retained by Chartwells.

The food is so good, VanBuren said, school administrators have chosen Chartwells to cater the luncheons served to teachers at their professional development workshops.

Viewpoint

The season of giving is upon us It’s a Charlie Brown Christmas I T

he stores are draped in color, the golden tunes of Bing Crosby ring through the air and houses are aglow with decorations. The holiday season is once again here.

With the season comes an increased concern for those around us who may need a hand. Most all of the holidays we celebrate in the final two months of the season are based on the tradition of helping those less fortunate.

One place that sees an increased need during this time are food pantries and emergency food shelves. There is a combination of factors that lead to this need, as families start to face colder temperatures and the decision of whether or not to use their paychecks to provide warmth or nourishment.

Not only are fuel prices higher than they used to be, but now food prices have also seen a rise with recent drought and market conditions.

We’re not talking about providing the extra’s here, but the basic food needed to maintain a proper diet from day to day. In a recent interview with the directors of the Willsboro and Essex food pantries, they said that they were making multiple trips up and down the Willsboro town hall stairs each day to get packages from the pantry to families in need. For them, a savior showed up in the form of two local businesses, as Champlain National Bank and NYCO combined to contribute $3,200 to the pantry. We commend these organizations for their service to the community.

We also commend those who contributed throughout the region during the recent Scouting For Food and U.S. Postal Service drives. Postal workers collected food to be sent to the New York City area, where the need is great after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Cub and Boy Scouts contributed to local food pantries, collecting on Saturday morning, Nov. 17, youth gave their precious Saturday morning time to help others. If you would like to help these pantries, contact your local town hall for hours and details.

Another way to help local food pantries is by stopping by and watching the annual CP Rail Holiday Train pull into town. The train will be coming through Friday Nov. 30, and making stops in Whitehall (2:30 p.m.), Ticonderoga (4 p.m.), Port Henry (5:45 p.m.),

Plattsburgh (8:15 p.m.) and Rouses Point (10 p.m.). Visitors are asked to bring nonperishable food items to the train station, then stay to enjoy music, events and a beautifully decorated train.

There are also those who are helping to make sure that families can provide gifts to their children in tough economic times.

Some may say that if you can’t afford gifts, then go without; or gifts are not what make the season. While gifts may not make the season, try to put yourself back in the shoes of a young child returning to school after the holiday break or seeing friends for the first time after Christmas morning. How would it feel to sit there and listen to all of your friends talking about their shiny new toy or show up dressed in new clothes while there was nothing under your tree? Not a pleasant thought.

The need continues to grow. In Elizabethtown, teachers at ELCS have found that their donations are no longer enough to fuel their Secret Santa Society, and so they are seeking the help of the community. They are accepting donations of toys, clothes and money through Dec. 14.

There are also those churches who are taking part in the Operation Christmas Child Program. Denton Publications and Families First of Essex County are partnering for the fifth annual Operation Boxed Smile Program. There is the Adopt-a-Family program at CVPH, Toys For Kids, the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and many more.

Then, there are the familiar, “Red Kettles,” that accompany the annual American Red Cross donation drive. There are many who volunteer their time, standing in the cold, ringing a bell and giving a smile to everyone who passes by. We ask that you return the smile and some change any chance you get, whether one time or many.

Through these many chances to give, we can all find an appropriate way to help our neighbors and help provide everyone with a truly happy holidays.

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Thom Randall, Fred Herbst, Shaun Kittle, Keith Lobdell, Stephen Bartlett, Andy Flynn, Katherine Clark and John Gereau. Comments should be directed to denpubs@denpubs.com.

n the most recent flare up an atheist group is accusing an Arkansas grade school of violating the constitutional rights of students by inviting them to a performance of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at a local church. I fear we will continue to see more of these challenges to remove all types of community support for any activity with a religious overtone, going against the long held beliefs this country was founded upon.

Students at Terry Elementary School in Little Rock were invited to a performance of the show at Agape Church, a non-denominational Christian Church. Reportedly teachers informed parents in letters sent home that a school bus would shuttle children to and from the show, which would be performed on a school day.

“We're not saying anything bad about Charlie Brown,” said Anne Orsi, vice president of the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers, “The problem is that it’s got religious content and it’s being performed in a religious venue and that doesn’t just blur the line between church and state, it oversteps it entirely.”

According to the letter the teachers sent home, the students would need to pay $2 to cover the expense of the bus ride but students were not required to attend the production, according to the school district. A spokeswoman for the Little Rock School District said the district did not endorse any particular faith or encourage any specific religious activity.

One parent contacted the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers after receiving the letter.

The parent, who did not want to be named, said that although she could choose not to allow her child to attend, she was letting her daughter go to the performance for fear the girl could be singled out.

For a nation founded on religious freedom, a nation that has become more tolerant of many views and changes in society it seems odd to me to find religion under so much fire today. But it’s clear the nonbelievers and atheists have chosen to draw a line in the sand. Instead of celebrating the freedom to believe as each individual sees fit, we find a group putting up barriers to the outward beliefs of others. These

groups apparently want to change the One Nation under God to something very different.

Dan Alexander Recent studies Thoughts from have shown that Behind the Pressline while 46 million adults are unaffiliated to a specific religion they are religious or spiritual in some way. Two-thirds of them say they believe in God (68%). More than half say they often feel a deep connection with nature and the earth (58%), while more than a third classify themselves as “spiritual” but not “religious” (37%), and one-in-five (21%) say they pray every day. In addition, most religiously unaffiliated Americans think that churches and other religious institutions benefit society by strengthening community bonds and aiding the poor.

With few exceptions, the unaffiliated say they are not looking for a religion. Overwhelmingly, they think that religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules and too involved in politics.

It’s been said that when things look down, people look up and seek the help and comfort of their God. It will be interesting to see how these challenges to religion and the customs that will be playing out throughout the upcoming Christmas season will be further affected this year. A number of nativity events have been shuttered as a result of legal threats, but as we’ve seen throughout history, efforts to restrict certain practices or beliefs tends to have the reverse affect. It’s unfortunate that we go through these challenging periods of time, but like so many things we experience in life it all seems to be for a purpose in the end. Those of faith and those who chose a different path will hopefully look back on this time period as some type of turning point and however you chose to view these events, I hope we can all agree the discussions and outcomes will serve to strengthen our nation, our beliefs and our ability to be tolerant of each other.

December 1, 2012

100 Years Ago - December 1912 Charged with crookedness The Siegal brothers, Jacob and Lewis, who formerly conducted clothing and dry goods stores at North Creek and Indian Lake, than removed later to Burlington, Vermont, where they engaged in the same business, on July 15, 1912 went into bankruptcy. When their affairs were being settled they were charged with willfully and fraudulently concealing from the trustee and receiver, William A. Vial, the sum of $10,000.

When thus accused both fled and have since been fugitives from justice until Saturday morning, Nov. 30, 1912 when Lewis Siegal was arrested by Patrolman Thomas Clancy in Glens Falls. The whereabouts of Jacob Siegal is unknown. Attorney Henry Williams has been engaged to defend the prisoner who is currently free on $1,000 bail.

Old Glory raised high The new schoolhouse in district No. 2 in Chestertown is getting along finely and will be a great addition to the town when finished.

The Italian masons working on the schoolhouse recently after finishing the chimney, placed a flag of their own country on the building. This was just too much for Earl Carpenter so he procured an American flag and clambering to the roof hoisted the good old Stars and Strips over the foreign banner and it waves there where it always should be, on top. (Note…The complete story of the hard struggle to create a new Chestertown school was told in this column in the July 28th and Sept. 22, 2012 Adirondack Journal.)

Birds feast on oysters Thomas Bolton of Horicon was in the town of Adirondack Thursday morning, Dec. 12, 1912. “Tommie” left his horse standing in front of Smith Barton’s residence while he was inside visiting. In the meantime a blast was sat off nearby on W.L. Potter ’s place and the horse, concluding that home was the best place for him, turned around and rapidly

started in that direction but was stopped by some of the boys at the schoolhouse. No serious damage was done except the spilling of a few gallons of oysters which Tommie had brought into town to sell.

New sheriff takes oath Sheriff-elect Richard J. Bolton took the oath of office before County Attorney and Notary Loyal L. Davis on Friday afternoon, Dec. 13, 1912, in Glens Falls. (Note…In January, 1913 Sheriff Bolton succeeded Sheriff Thomas J. Smith and received more than 100 applications from Republicans in the north country, particularly Horicon and Chestertown, for the job of Deputy Sheriff. The new sheriff appointed to that post his father, Richard J. Bolton, Sr. of Horicon, at a salary of $50 a year.

He also appointed three others as special deputies, without salaries, who were Alpha St. Claire, Fred Case and Herbert Smith.)

Slide nears completion The toboggan slide at the Fort William Henry Hotel in Lake George is nearing completion and as soon as the lake freezes over it will be ready for use and it will be a busy time.

The Charles J. Peabody residence now in course of erection is progressing rapidly, the current fine weather being very favorable for the work. (Note…Charles Jones Peabody bought the Lower Price Place, an English Tudor Mansion on Millionaires’ Row which he named Evelley. The house was in later years owned by Paul Carroll.)

Testing apple cider The determination of when apple cider has become “hard” suggests the well known test by means of which toadstools are differentiated from mushrooms. You must drink the cider and if all the apple trees in your vicinity begin to participate in a measured movement to waltz time the cider is indeed “hard.”

Bazaar featured local creativity Nov. 24 was designated national Support Small Business Saturday, and Thurman residents and vendors accomplished this objective in style at the annual Thurman Christmas Bazaar.

There was a troop of Brownie Girl Scouts selling handmade Christmas decorations made from recycled baby food jars, also homemade brownies and cookies — all at reasonable prices.

Wini Martin of Martin’s Lumber had a display of beautiful handcrafted jewelry, made from recycled paper. Wini was also making some of her lovely jewelry on site, giving the youngster and shoppers a lesson in how she makes them, from start to finish.

Mary Kenyon brought along her handmade wares, consisting of pot holders, dish towels, and fleece blankets, all at incredibly reasonable prices.

Donna Wormwood of Adirondack Rustic Miniatures had her collection of handmade doll house furniture, crafted with natural materials. No two pieces are identical, and they show off Wormwood’s remarkable creativity and her appreciation of nature. Some of Donna’s work is a featured in the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake.

The Christmas Bazaar also included tables of baked goods, maple products from Adirondack Gold, incredibly cute handmade Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and embroidered pillow cases.

Cheryl Kenyon organized this event and reported that it was a very good year, with nearly 150 shoppers showing up in spurts throughout the day.

The next day, he was driving on the Northway and was stopped by state troopers for swerving, and was arrested for DWI and having a crack pipe in his car, he said in the statement.

Health Center from page 1 and spur the growth of good-paying local jobs, officials said.

The expanded main health center is to be built close to Main St. and Richards Avenue.

The present health center, a former supermarket building located several hundred feet back from Main St., is to be torn down after the new health center is constructed — so patient care isn’t interrupted during the construction process.

Plans call for the old health center ’s site to be developed for parking, now located toward Main St. The rear of the health center campus is to be developed into a riverside park, Jones said.

“With its excellent vantage points of the river, this relocated park will provide scenic views,” Jones said, noting that as many mature trees as possible — including memorial plantings — will be relocated from the their existing sites to the new park.

Jones told the board the center ’s architecture reflects influences of the historic Holy Cross Episcopal Church across Main St. He said that the face of the health center would include stonework from locally mined materials.

“This is going to be a high-end building,” Jones said. “It will be a major facility for downtown Warrensburg.”

The vastly enlarged health center, featuring an efficient layout and a substantial amount of new equipment, is expected to boost services and enhance efficiency in patient service, said George Purdue, Chief Administrative Officer of Hudson Headwaters, which operates the Warrensburg Health Center and 14 similar clinics.

Purdue said the number of Primary Care exam rooms would increase from 10 to 15, Urgent Care would increase from four to six, and Behavioral Health, from two to five rooms. Women’s Care and Specialty Care facilities are also

expected to double. The imaging facilities are also expected to more than double in floorspace.

The health center ’s expansion, Purdue said, will allow the health center to offer new health services, including cardiology, orthopedics and perhaps cancer care. More doctors and physicians’ assistants will be on the health center ’s staff, he said.

Plans now include hosting a CAT scan device — the first in the southern Adirondacks, Purdue said.

Lighting on the parking lots is anticipated to be the new downward-facing lights that are considered far more efficient and environmentally friendly.

The Albert Tucker building, which now hosts a pharmacy and dental offices, is to remain on the campus, separated

from the main building by a “healing garden” and partially covered walkway.

Warrensburg Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said that he was impressed with the plans for both the new health center.

“We’re very excited about the health center,” he said.

“Hudson Headwaters has really paid attention to detail in this development.”

Geraghty said the campus, as designed, would be a landmark in the North Country.

“The new health center will not only be a huge plus for our streetscape, but it will provide outstanding health care for citizens of Warrensburg and the surrounding communities for decades to come,”

LAKE GEORGE

24146

Warriors to rely on endurance, team chemistry

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Last year, the Lake George Boys Basketball team faced a formidable challenge. They had lost six talented seniors, the core of a “dream team” that included three stellar athletes who could dunk the ball as well as dominate both ends of the court. The players who remained on the 2011-12 team, however, were undeterred. They pledged to work hard, develop skills and chemistry, and strive for achievement and success.

The players did just that, and racked up a remarkable 17-3 record — and claimed the Adirondack League Western Division Championship with solid team execution rather than relying on a few star athletes.

For 2012-13, a good number of players on this team are back, and they know what it takes to work hard to achieve lofty goals.

Senior Alex Labruzzo was one of the key elements of that squad.

This week he offered his thoughts on the 2012-13 season.

“Nobody on our team is selfish about the ball or shooting — we have one shared goal, to win the game,” Labruzzo said.

His teammate Ethan Wincowski agreed. “it’s a team concept,” he said, adding that Coach Dave Jones was the key element in school’s boys basketball teams’ success for more than a decade. Jones has coached the varsity boys team for 14 years, during which he’s guided one team — the 2004 squad — to the New York State final four, plus his teams have won two Section II championships, five Adirondack League championships, eight divisional championships, and far more than 200 total wins.

“Coach knows what he’s doing,” Wincowski said. Labruzzo echoed the point.

“He watches the films, identifies mistakes and knows what we need to work on,” he said. “And he’s very positive.”

Jones said he’s enthusiastic about the year ’s prospects.

“We brought back a good group of guys, and we have players coming up from our nearly undefeated JV team,” he said, addinging that the season may have a slow start.

Sophomore Joel Wincowski, Ethan’s brother and a leading scorer last year, was injured in soccer, and he will be sidelined until Christmas, he added.

Labruzzo said his team will be

relying on their considerable speed as well as their endurance, developed through arduous conditioning routines.

“In the third and fourth quarter, when the other team is worn out, we’ll be playing as hard as we can, he said.

In a recent practice, the Warriors were working develop such stamina as well as agility. The players were jogging at a furious speed through a rope-ladder on the floor, and jumping rope for long intervals, employing a routine provided by Fitness in Action.

Watching the players execute their fitness routines, Jones offered his thoughts.

“These players are hard working, developing chemistry, and they’re easy to get along with,” he said. “This will be a great year, as long as we stay grounded.”

NORTH WARREN

24143

For 2012-13, Cougars have talent and ambition

By Phil Sherotov

denpubs@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — Upcounty sports fans have high expectations for the north Warren Varsity Boys Basketball team this year, considering last season’s success and the graduation of only three players.

Last season, the Cougars fought to secure the second place in the Adirondack League Western Division, amassing a 9-9 league record, 10-10 overall. North Warren lost close games to both Warrensburg and Fort Ann because of buzzer beaters, but achieved a significant win against Corinth — a team that qualifies as B-level. Their campaign didn’t stop in the regular season — they played two games in the Section II tournament.

Three talented players graduated last year: Benn Frasier, Kristin Seeley, and Karl Brugger.

Stepping up to fill the void they left are brothers Nick and Anthony Sapienza, as well as Ethan Schenke — considered the top returners.

Speaking of some of his strongest players, coach Jason Humiston said that 6’ 3” sophomore Jacob Dunkley has really impressed the coaching staff with his talent and work ethic.

“They may beat him, but they will not out-work him,” Humiston said.

Humiston added that Nick Sapienza, also a sophomore, “can shoot with the best of them” and scored 52 three-point

shots last season, while senior, Ethan Schenke, can run the team and “knock down shots as well.”

In terms of team chemistry, Humiston said that the players are all friends and have grown close over the past few seasons.

Also, the players work very hard, and are hungry to surpass last season’s record, the coach said.

Their practice sessions exhibit both the players’ intense effort and their coach’s focus on helping them improve all aspects of their skills.

This summer, the players participated in St. Lawrence University’s Basketball Camp, participated in the Hudson Falls and Queensbury summer leagues, and attended open gym at North Warren High to play basketball two nights per week.

Watching the team practice this week, Humiston offered his thoughts about the season.

“Our goal never changes—we want to get better through the season. November and December are about winning and learning, January and February are about winning and losing. Our goal is to win the West Divison of the league.”

BOLTON LANDING

24145

Bolton girls look for turnaround

By Phil Sherotov

denpubs@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — At the end of their last practice before Thanksgiving break, Coach Luke Schweickert offered some important words for the Bolton School’s girls varsity basketball team.

Schweickert recognized their dedication and commitment, said he understood how busy their schedules are with school and other activities, he stressed the importance staying healthy, and told the players that with continued hard work he was confident they would develop into a great team.

The team has their challenges this season.

Their win-loss record in 2012-13 was 0-16, due to competing in the ultra-competitive Adirondack League. At the end of the season, five players graduated.

In addition, Molly Schoder, junior point guard, was nursing a hip fracture that she sustained during soccer season in late 2012. “She will be extremely difficult to replace, especially on a team with only seven players,” Schweickert said.

Their strongest returning player is senior Maddy Wilson, whose last season was cut short by a knee injury. Sophomore Kaitlin Urtz transferred from North Warren where she played Junior Varsity Basketball last year. Freshman forward Erin Courchaine is expected to supply strong support off the bench this year — in 2012, she was called up late in the season and really sparked the team.

Schweickert said that the team possesses great rapport and the players get along great on and off the court. They have played Kingsbury Recreation Dept. summer basketball for two years as well as enjoying practice at Bolton High.

Schweickert said he expects junior guards Molly Schoder and Kim Wright to anchor the back court, while small forwards Olivia Clesceri and Olivia Seamans control the inside game, and Sarah Calzada sets the tempo for the team as a point guard.

This season, the team is focused on developing their skills and tallying some wins, Schweickert said.

“I am confident they’ll become a dynamite team over the next two years if they keep up their level of dedication,” he said.

Eagles ready to tackle rebuilding

By Phil Sherotov

denpubs@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING—The Varsity Boys Basketball team of Bolton high School is facing a rebuilding year after experiencing the graduation in June of four talented players, including an Adirondack League All-Star.

Boys Basketball Coach Steve Showers commented this week on the challenges that exist this year for his team, which includes facing larger teams with highly competitive squads.

“Our total student population from Pre-K to grade 12 is 203, which makes it really hard because we just don’t have the numbers to choose from that other schools do,” Showers said. Injuries are also a big concern because with such small numbers, as any injury can have dire consequences.

Showers said he’s counting on returning starters Dustin French and Carl Ciccarelli to be leaders for the squad, particularly to help bring everyone together as a team.

Another strong returning team member is Alex Maxam. These players are joined by four recruits from the Junior Varsity squad: Sam Cady, Django

Denne, Jack Hughes, and Josh Persons. In addition, Kevin Pratt has signed up to play basketball.

During practice, Showers and assistant coach Ed White watch carefully, provide continuous feedback to players, and take time to demonstrate plays and skills.

Showers said he makes sure that every player is engaged and putting forward their best effort.

In a recent practice, it appeared that all players take the practice time and feedback seriously.

Showers said the team is coming together well.

“We’re working on developing our identity for this year,” Showers said.

Despite the small size of their school, last year’s team finished the season with an admirable season record of 7-10, including notable wins against Warrensburg, Hadley, and Corinth.

The Eagles are particularly proud of their win against Corinth, a team that qualifies as a B-level squad. This season, the players have been instructed to treat every game as the most important game of season, Showers said.

“We know the road to success is difficult, but we are willing to travel that road and persevere through any of the challenges that lie ahead,” he said.

Among those returning for Lake George are Adam Agresta, a Junior at 285 pounds. LaBombard said Agresta was dedicated to the sport.

“Adam is knowledgeable and he works hard,” the coach said, adding that Tom Clark, a talented Junior, will be competitive in the 170- or 182-pound weight classes.

Patrick Barber, a Sophomore at either 195 or 220 pounds, will also be a contender, the coach said.

“Barber’s a tough kid,” he said.

“Our team will be developing skills this year, acquiring a dedication to the sport,” he added.

For 2012-13, War-Eagles have a young, inexperienced squad

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — In just four seasons of existence, the Lake George-Luzerne wrestling team has achieved a prominent position in the region.

Although reduced in numbers from last year's record size — and having enduredthe loss of some great athletes to graduation — this year’s joint wrestling squad should attain a solid level of success, legendary coach Jack LaBombard said this week. LaBombard has been coaching wrestling for 42 years, and he’s had quite a few athletes competing for state championships through the years. He’s coaching on behalf of Lake George High, and Larry Rounds is LaBombard’s counterpart for Hadley-Luzerne High School.

“We’ve got a smaller team this year and we’re really young,” LaBombard said, noting there will be a few vacant weight classes for the War-Eagles, particularly at the lightweight level. “But we have good participation from Lake George, and our wrestlers have a lot of potential.We’ll put a competitive team on the mat this year.”

Standouts on the War-Eagles team include Dan Jardine, the defending Section II Class CC Champion, wrestling in the 120- or 126pound weight class.

LaBombard said Jardine can wrestle for hours without tiring.

“Jardine can go forever,” he said.

Also a standout is Jason Hoffman of Luzerne, an 8th grader who can out-wrestle many competitors that are far older and more experienced, LaBombard said.

“Jason is a cut above,” the coach said.

This year, the Lady Burghers offer intrigue, promise WARRENSBURG — The Burgher Girls Basketball team has been on an upswing in recent years, seeking to recapture the glory of the 1980s when they were dominant in the Adirondack League.

Last year ’s team had seven experienced Seniors on the squad, several earning All-Star status.

Although these veterans mentored the younger players well, such a large contingent of Seniors in 2011-12 means a lot of positions to fill now, Coach Scott Smith said.

“The Lady Burghers have many new faces on the roster this year,” he said. “ Nine players are new to the Varsity level this season and will be called upon to play significant roles.”

Returning players Chiara Russo, Mika Morehouse and

Merissa Hayes will be called on to provide leadership and experience on and off the court for the Lady Burghers this year, Smith said.

Newcomers Erin Langworthy and Liz Turner are expected to provide an effective inside-outside combination on both ends of the court, the coach added.

One of the aspects likely to offer some intrigue is that Korynn Raymond and Braydin Smith, both Seniors, return to basketball after taking several seasons off. They will be called upon to play a big role for the team this year, Smith

said.

“Korynn is very athletic and gives Warrensburg substantial speed and height,” the coach said. “And Braydin will be asked to shoulder some of the ball-handling responsibilities along with Langworthy.”

Kaylene Norton, Catie Baker, Makayla Baker, Amanda Gee, and Aineen Callahan have made many improvements already this year and should make strong contributions off the bench as well, Smith continued.

“If Warrensburg is to be successful this year, we will need to play strong defense, rebound, and push the tempo on offense,” he said. “With so many newcomers to Varsity, we are confident that we will continue to improve every day.”

Armed with a new head coach, Burgher boys have bright future

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — For years, despite exhibiting intense and aggressive play, the Warrensburg Boys Basketball team has not enjoyed the degree of success they’ve sought or deserved.

This year may be a turning point, however.

They’ve got a not-so-secret weapon for 2012-13: a college-level coach.

Bob Hummel has served for several years as Assistant Varsity Coach at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute following an 18-year tenure at Queensbury High School — and now he’s heading up the Burgher Boys team.

This a really big deal not only for fans and the school, but the players, one member of the team said this week after a rigorous practice.

“It’s pretty awesome to have a college coach,”

Nolan Maltbie said. “He’s a great coach — Our practice is not flat-out conditioning; he’s got us playing basketball.”

What’s this?

Hummel explained his approach this week as he watched his players charge the floor.

With the limited practice time available, players should prepare for games by running plays as much as possible, rather than executing drills, he said.

“They need to learn game skills, not just repeat drills that look good,” Hummel said. “Time is precious — I have to make sure they do everything that transfers to success on Tuesday and Friday nights.”

Hummel, who’s served RPI as a scout and recruiter in his coaching post, said he’s aware his present knowledge of the Adirondack League teams is minimal, but he plans on soon checking out as many of the teams as possible.

WCS wrestlers have depth, guts and brawn

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With an infusion of tough football players joining veteran athletes, the Warrensburg High School wrestling team will likely be experiencing a victorious year in 2012-13.

There’s a robust roster of experienced wrestlers returning, joined by football players who are experienced in smash-up physical contact. These recruits may lack the finesse that some of the experienced wrestlers have developed, but they know how to push other guys around.WCS wrestling coach Mark Trapasso used the word “tough“ a dozen times or more this week when describing his team, which last year amassed a 20-8 record.

All but two of the wrestlers are underclassmen, but they make up the age difference with guts and brawn.

Here’s the lineup: In the 99- and 106-pound weight class are Freshman Aiden LaPoint and 7th grader Dan Monthony, who will be competing for the 99-pound spot — with the runner-up in wrestle-offs taking on the 106-pound slot.

At 113 pounds, is 10th grader Austin West, a veteran who had a great year in 2011-12, and is certain to repeat, Trapasso said.

At 120 pounds is freshman Wesley Bessaw, a rookie on Varsity, but has experience on the Modified squad, and shows promise.

At 126 pounds are two experienced WCS wrestlers: Denver Berry and Nick Nedelcu, both Juniors. Nedelcu has unorthodox moves, but knows how to use his muscle to defeat opponents, Trapasso said.

Junior Denver Berry is an experienced wrestler who’s also famil-

Photo by Thom Randall Although he may not yet know the prevailing style of play in the league, in the meantime he’s got a few objectives for the Burgher boys, he said.

“I want our team to up-tempo the game,” Hummel said. “We need to force our opponents not to run their half-court offense.”

This strategy will be employed at the other end of the court too, Hummel said.

“Our players should push it on offense in tran-

sition and shoot the ball quickly,” he said. “I expect the shot-clock not to be an issue.

Hummel continued that he is likely to have the Burghers employ a man-to-man defense, mixing in some zone play.

Warrensburg High School Principal Doug Duell said this week that the players, fans, and school community are energized having a college coach heading up the Varsity Boys’ basketball team.

iar to area sports fans. Trapasso said he’s a solid athlete who will be a formidable competitor in either the 126-pound or 132pound weight class.

Competing in the 132- and 138-pound classes is Lane Oehler, a Sophomore veteran with an impressive win-loss record who Trapasso described as “gnarly.”

At 138 pounds is Freshman Colby Russo, new to the Varsity squad, who has strong potential, particularly because he works hard, Trapasso said.

Warriors seek to follow long legacy Two of his players sat out last year with knee injuries — Senior Hahnah Saroff and Junior Savannah Inge — but they’ll be getting back into their groove, he predicted.

Saroff, the team’s captain, said this week she was excited about the season.

“We’re having fun, supporting each other and playing as a team,” she said.

Tefft said he expects “quality minutes” from Saroff as well as the other two seniors, Mackenzie Baertschi and Emily Borgh.

Tefft added that he expects sophomores Cora Connolly and Vivian Jaworsky and Freshman Kenzie Bennett to gain skills and experience to back up the veterans.

The Warriors will have to focus on their goals and continue their dedication to developing skills and chemistry, Tefft said.

“We have to practice hard, because the whole Adirondack League is very good this year,” Tefft said.

Kiera Warner who is now playing in college for Russell Sage.

The departure of the 2011-12 seniors prompted the draft of three players from the Junior Varsity squad — Kerrianne Belline, Elle Underwood, and Nicole Fish.

Coach P.J. Hogan said that the leading players on the team at this point are Amber Fraiser, Megan McDonough and Janae Williamson.

In terms of team chemistry, Hogan said it’s still early in the season, but he’s already observed that they are working hard and dedicated to attaining achievements similar to their storied forerunners.

He said that most of the girls play Amateur Athletic Union basketball and that Frasier, McDonough, and Williamson attended a basketball tune-up clinic at Skidmore College.

Frasier said this week she felt privileged be identified as a leading player, but deferred credit to her mentors. She said Hogan and the other basketball coaches have helped her develop into the player she is. Frasier also credited her parents for being very supportive.

Williamson said this week that playing AAU basketball has been a key factor in developing her skills. Noting that all her family members are enthusiasts of basketball, Williamson said she intends to continue playing basketball in college — and work on her jump shots in the meantime. She added that Skidmore Basketball Camp helped her learn effective drills and new moves.

Talking about the Cougars’ team goals this season, Hogan said that the players want to get better every day as both a team and as individuals.

“They’re not trying to fill anyone’s shoes at this point,” he said. “But they’re determined to live up to their own expectations.”

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Each year, Lake George Girls Basketball Coach Rob Tefft warns that his team is young and inexperienced, and the players have a considerable challenge to achieve the success that’s a longstanding tradition for the Warrior hoopsters.

This year was no exception, as Tefft talked this week about his team as they practiced.

“We’re extremely ‘green’ this year, but the team works hard in practice, they play hard and are very receptive to what we are trying to do,” he said.

Behind him on the wall, however, was a banner that showed what the Warrior girls accomplish each year, despite any perceived inexperience: 10 consecutive years winning Adirondack League or divisional championships.

This year’s squad has its share of unknown aspects and potential surprises.
