Time for change

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

Dan Stec, Supervisor of Queensbury, was recently chosen to succeed Fred Monroe of Chester as chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors.

The changeover is to occur in January.

WARRENSBURG — The leadership of Warren County government will be changing as of January.

County Board of Supervisors chairman Frederick Monroe of Chester will be stepping down, and Queensbury Supervisor Dan Stec will be taking his place.

Monroe said Friday he was turning over the reins of the county because he wanted to devote more time to both his personal life and his work as chairman of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board.

Stec was chosen by a caucus of Republican Supervisors Nov. 19 to replace Monroe. He was selected after Queensbury at-large supervisor William VanNess decided not to seek the post this year. Stec received the unanimous support of the 14 Republicans serving on the 20-member board, plus he received expressions of support from Democrats as well.

ALBANY — State Sen. Elizabeth O’C. Little, R-Queensbury, says she wants to chair the Senate Tourism Committee.

With the GOP having officially seized control of the state’s upper house, Republican senators are jockeying for leadership positions.

Little is no exception.

WARRENSBURG — A revitalized Warren County Fair could recapture its former success by offering a midway, amusement rides and a variety of Adirondack-themed contests and demonstrations, potential fair organizers said Monday at a meeting to revive a traditional annual event that has been dormant for nearly a decade.

A total of 17 people interested in bringing the Warren County Fair back to life discussed ideas that included moving the fair to a new site and coupling it with other entities or existing area events to boost its fortunes.

Two representatives of The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom amusement park — Mike Wood and Rebecca Close — suggested hosting the fair at their facility as a way to combine topquality amusement rides with traditional fair activities.

The planning group members, on the verge of forming a fair association, were receptive to the idea, despite the difficulty of planning event around The Great Escape’s busy season of July and August.

The Warren County Fair in recent decades had been sponsored and managed by Warren County Cornell Cooperative Extension, which is seeking to turn over its role to an independent fair association, due to the greater flexibility and lower event liability insurance costs of an independent organizing entity.

Such concerns, plus hefty financial losses, led to the conversion in 2002 of the Warren County Fair from a popular multi-day event with entertainment and rides and well-known regional entertainers, to a one-day youth fair that was focusing on 4-H activities.

That downsized event is to be held again in 2011 on Aug. 6, and is to include a sustainable living expo. Beyond this next year, however, Cooperative Extension officials, who have led several planning sessions, envision a fair association taking over the helm of the county fair.

The planning group meeting Monday exhibited enthusiasm for such a plan.

The planning group decided to meet again on Jan. 10 and nominate officers of a fair association, to be formally elected at the following meeting.

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — On a trip to Binghamton last weekend, sisters Tracy Cheney and Melissa Barrett implored their deceased father, Don Cheney, to intervene on their behalf with the supreme heavenly powers and arrange for a sweepstakes win, Cheney recalled Monday.

“My sister and I said, ‘Come on, Dad, give us the winning ticket!” Cheney said. An employee of Warrensburg Laundry, Cheney bought the ticket jointly with her sister and Mickey Monroe — another employee at the laundry.

The ticket was one of 200 sold for $100 apiece in the annual Church of the Holy Cross raffle, which has a $5,000 first-prize payoff, and three secondary $1,000 prizes.

When they were on their way home to Warrensburg, the sisters received a call on Cheney’s cell phone from fellow employees at the Warrensburg Laundry, who had bought a total of four tickets. The fellow employees told them the good news the Cheneys and Monroe had won a $1,000 prize.

“My sister and I were very pleasantly surprised,” Cheney said. The duo is sharing

the winnings with Monroe.

“We were hoping for the $5,000 — but I guess Dad didn’t want us to be greedy.“ Other winners of the secondary $1,000 prizes were Rick Galusha and a group of maintenance employees at Echo Lake Camp.

The top prize of $5,000

was won by eight of the Warrensburg firefighters — Bruce Belden; Gary “Wally” Ross; Sean, Kevin and Jonathan Geraghty; Paul Bederian; Rudy Squires and Dave Spatz.

The group had bought four tickets with each firefighter contributing $50,

Local raffle winners reflect on their luck, good fortune

1-10498

Attendee Don Bagwell of Warrensburg Bike Week suggested holding the county fair during his event which is held annually to coincide with the Americade motorcycle rally.

Fair organizers like the idea of linking a fair with other popular functions, but balked at the idea of holding the fair during Bike Week, held in early June, because children were still in school.

John Warren of the Adirondack Almanack and former fair board member Duane Griffin suggested bringing back special events traditionally held with the county fair — or launching new ones — including logging skills contests, rodeo events, a gymkhana, a lawn-tractor or ATV weightpull competition and a car show.

It was also suggested that the fair include a lineup of sports-related competitions be-

tween the various children’s camps that operate in the region during the summer.

Also discussed was reviving farm-animal exhibitions and contests — a tradition at the Warren County Fair — despite most agricultural activity ceasing in the county since the 1940s.

Pam Morin, for years the county fair administrator who organized the myriad details of the event, offered suggestions on getting dozens of organizations involved and boosting support for the event.

Cooperative Extension director James Seeley said he was impressed with the ideas and enthusiasm that surfaced at Monday’s meeting as he noted that 17 people attended and shared in the planning, rather than two turning out at an earlier meetup.

“There’s strong leadership in this group,” he said. “I think a fair association is going to go forward — finally.”

First Presbyterian to host ‘Christmas Carol’ Photos needed of Stewart’s store, Morehouse Does anyone have photographs of the old Stewart’s Shop when it was located in the building on Main St. now housing Willows Bistro?

Kathy Quintal is seeking historic photos of Stewart’s at its former location, and ones that include former 30-year manager, the late Max Morehouse.

These photos include ones that depict some of the promotions Stewart’s conducted, including ones of children with Perky the Lamb, Stewart’s mascot during the 1960s or so.

Quintal plans to have copies of photographs she locates hung on the wall of the new Stewart’s Shop, scheduled to open this week on Stewart Farrar Ave. Quintal is also seeking to have recognition brought to Max Morehouse, and have at least a casual dedication of the new building in his honor.

Readers with historic Stewart’s photographs are urged to contact Quintal at 623-9429.

All are invited to attend several Christmas-themed events at First Presbyterian Church of Warrensburg.

On Saturday, Dec. 11, the church will host Rev. Tim Coombs in a one-person presentation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” at 6 p.m. Refreshments will be available beforehand. The church is located at 3 Stewart Farrar Ave. A Christmas program including carol singing and a holiday youth drama will be presented on Sunday, Dec. 12, during the 10 a.m. worship service at the church.

Kane to conduct writing workshop

WCS Dance Marathon plans progressing Warrensburg High School students are continuing to develop plans for their Marathon Dance fundraiser modeled after the renowned South Glens Falls Marathon Dance that’s raised millions of dollars for various charities.

A core group of 10 adults and 12 students, primarily from the WCS Junior class, have been meeting regularly to sponsor a charity dance. Expectations are circulating that about 400 to 500 students from both Warrensburg Jr.-Sr. High School and neighboring schools will participate.

All area students in grades 7 through 12 are invited to participate, and each student must obtain a $25 in donation from one or more sponsors.

The South Glens Falls Marathon Dance, thriving since the 1970s, raised $283,407 in 2010 alone for charity.

Unlike this marathon which extends over two days, the Warrensburg marathon dance will likely be limited to 12 hours, extending from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Some of the proceeds of the dance will go towards helping out various families in need, perhaps those with a family member enduring a life-threatening illness.

The WCS students have talked about donating the proceeds to such charities as High Peaks Hospice, North Country Ministry, or House of Grace.

A food drive will also be held in conjunction with the event.

Anyone who wishes to watch the marathon may do so in a portion of the marathon hosting spectators — between the hours of 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.. Spectators will be asked to bring a donation of non-perishable food items to be distributed to local food pantries. during this portion of the event, gift baskets will be raffled, and proceeds will go to the Junior class and the school’s goodconduct PRIDE program.

Entertainment for the event is to be provided by WZRT-FM 97.1 radio station, and to feature music provided by Chip Aldrich of Johnsburg, of After-Fx deejay service.

Participants will be eligible to win prizes based on the amount of donations they collect. Those local businesses or community members who wish to donate can contact Darlene Gordon at Warrensburg Central School. Gift certificates can be sent directly to: Warrensburg High School, 103 Schroon River Road, Warrensburg NY 12885 Those with questions or seeking to donate, call Terry Leguire at 623-9778.

WARRENSBURG — Jessica Smith of Brant Lake — author, playwright, artist spoken-word performer, and singer — will be conducting a writing workshop in January.

The goal of the workshop is to complete a short essay or a short story, and then record it as an audio piece, Kane noted this week.

The writing workshop will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on three consecutive Saturdays: Jan. 15, 22, and 29 at Willows Bistro in Warrensburg. The class sessions break for lunch from noon to 1 p.m.

After these three sessions, once everyone's pieces are complete, we will arrange the recording sessions on a one-by-one basis.The fee for this course is $200, which includes the recording session.

Class is limited to six participants. RSVP by December 15.

Kane’s off-kilter humor is threaded through her work, whether it’s her nouveau-country singing, her idiosyncratic narratives and poetry, or her eccentric sculptures.

Reviewers have praised her writing, noting that her keen observation transforms the mundane world into a compelling new light.

Kane has been published in Prevention Magazine, Carbon 14 and El Petit Journal. In 2008, she wrote a series of weekly personality profiles for the Adirondack Journal.

Public to vote on local fire commissioner post

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Voters in the Town of Warrensburg may not be aware of it, but an election is coming up this week in which they have the power to choose a public official.

Up for election is one of five fire commissioners for the Town of Warrensburg.

This year, there’s a contest.

Brian Engle, who’s been a fire commissioner since 1999, is being challenged by Don Bagwell for a five-year term.

The vote is to take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14 in the Warrensburg Firehouse on Elm St. All voters in the Town of Warrensburg who are registered as of Nov. 23, are eligible to cast a ballot.

Brian is a dispatcher for the Warren County Sheriff ’s Officer, for which he has worked for decades.

Don Bagwell, 54, is an entrepreneur from North Warrensburg, who joined the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. in May 2009. He is owner of Spruce Mountain Surplus, which markets military goods at shows and over the Internet.

Bagwell said he has no issue with the way Engle has served the public — he’s running merely because he’d like to be part of the decision-making process for local fire protection over the next several years.

The fire commissioners are likely to be considering whether to build a new firehouse, and perhaps considering purchasing a new fire truck, which may cost $560,000 or so, Bagwell said.

“There are some interesting potential changes in fire service that are coming up, and I’d like to be on the board to help make decisions,” he said.

Engle couldn’t be reached as of Tuesday noon.

Besides Engle, existing Warrensburg Fire Commissioners are Jim Hull, Rick Hull, Rudy Squires, and Dave Spatz.

Although the Warrensburg Fire District covers portions of North Caldwell in the town of Lake George and other areas outside Warrensburg, only those voters duly registered as residents of Warrensburg, may vote in the fire district election, according to Kevin Geraghty, secretary of the district.

Stony Creek Library board meets, all invited The Stony Creek Library Board of Directors meets the second Tuesday of each month. The general public, and all those interested in library activities — or in serving on the Library board — are invited to attend.

Launching this new enterprise, named Massage & Body Boutique, are Karen Belsteadt and Carl Duell, who were recently certified as massage therapists.

They plan to offer Swedish massages, myofascial massage and other soft-tissue therapies and therapeutic massages as well as couple massages.

Stewart’s to open ‘Christmas in Warrensburgh’ offered festive family fun snafu a Wednesday morning Santa’s minor issue Cumberland grand opening held

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

Competing Cumby’s holds ribbon cutting Tuesday, the Warrensburg central hamlet’s competing corporate convenience enterprise, Cumberland Farms, held a grand opening complete with a ribbon cutting for their existing store, which was gutted and rebuilt over the past several months.

Cumberland Farms took over a formerly rented space at the southern end of their building, and doubled the size of their store. This store reconstruction resulted in the company expanding their hot food and bakery offerings and making their interior far more spacious, while installing a public rest room.

The renovated Cumberland Farms exterior is also white, with logos in sea green. An existing store sign is not as high as the former sign, but has red digital numbers displaying gas prices. The LED signage has caused concern with some town residents who have said the sign is visually intrusive and not in harmony with the town’s historic character.

The Work - Out - Den

WARRENSBURG — A substantial number of children and families participated in this year ’s Christmas in Warrensburgh event, which offered traditional holiday music, craft-making and activities for children and families reminiscent of a bygone era, event organizer Teresa Whalen said Monday.

And although Santa and his helpers may have bungled a detail or two in the traditional tree-lighting ceremony, it didn’t dampen the fun people had, she said.

“There were a lot of families and children attending this year,” she added, noting attendance that was perhaps greater than other recent years. “Everyone caught the holiday spirit — not only children, but the young at heart.”

Dozens of children enjoyed making gingerbread houses, ornaments and crafts including winter toys at the town hall, converted for a day into “Toyland.”

Some children focused on fashioning Origami creations, a variety of natural crafts and watercolor paintings — all under the tutelage of North Country artisans.

Skye Gregson, daughter of Barry Gregson of Schroon Lake’s Adirondack Rustic Gallery, fashioned wooden toys for children to play with, and her father also attended, mentoring craft sessions. The two reported they used twice as much material as in recent years, which indicated the popularity of the sessions. Barry’s mother Carol Gregson, famous as the “Pottersville Complainer,” was among those spinning natural fibers in traditional craft demonstrations during the weekend at Riverside Gallery.

struction session on wreathmaking with Adirondack native plants, was well attended, she said.

By the fall of darkness however, the crowds dissipated. Gone were the scouts who were scheduled to sing carols at the tree lighting ceremony at the town’s historic bandstand.

Santa was scheduled to wait until a crowd formed and then arrive out of the darkness in an aura of magical suspense, Whalen said — then after introductions, carols and pastoral prayers, the ceremonial town tree is lit, according to the event’s tradition.

Instead, Santa just plugged in the tree early without the traditional fanfare, and few people were present.

Whalen said she was aghast when she saw the tree suddenly illuminate with no crowd.

“I’m like, what the heck is going on?” she said Monday, recalling she hurried across the street to see what was

transpiring and was nearly rammed by a vehicle — which complicated matters.

With few present, no caroling scouts and no pastor blessing the tree, members of the local Elementary School Band played to the few brave souls left wondering what was going on.

Then the hot chocolate showed up 15 minutes later after the stragglers left, she said.

Whalen said these issues didn’t dampen her enthusiasm for the weekend, and she added she didn’t blame Santa in the least for the short-circuited schedule.

“It was not a problem, our Santa’s always been the best,’ she said, noting he was apologetic for any mishaps he or others might have been a part of.

Whalen said the weekend had delighted crowds despite the off-kilter treelighting event.

“It was delightful sharing an old-fashioned holiday celebration in the Adirondack Mountains,” she said.

WARRENSBURG — The new, controversial Stewart’s Shop on Stewart Farrar Ave. is opening to the public Wednesday, Dec. 15, Stewart’s officials confirmed Tuesday.

The construction of the new store has been challenged in an Article 78 lawsuit by a group of citizens who have said the store would compromise the neighborhood’s character as well as create traffic safety problems for pedestrians.

As of Tuesday, the motions in the lawsuit were still pending. The store, however was constructed over the past 10 weeks or so — regardless of the challenge.

Tom Mailey of Stewart’s Shops said the store would be opening to customers at 4 a.m. on Wednesday without fanfare. A grand opening might be held in several weeks, but there are no firm plans for one at this point, he said.

The store offers a considerably expanded parking area, with access and room to maneuver — much improved over the existing store on lower Main Street, where vehicles routinely have trouble squeezing between the parking spaces in front of the store and the gas pumps.

The inventory from the old store will be moved to the new store in the hours after it closes Tuesday night at midnight, store employees said. They added that the existing store will be closed for business beginning the day the new one opens.

Tuesday, workers were constructing the fascia on the gas pump canopy, as well as finishing the store’s interior, including counters, coolers and booths. Signage was expected to be installed late this week.

Mailey said that local community activist Kathy Quintal has been seeking historic photos of Stewart’s former stores, and has suggested that Stewart’s hang them on their walls.

She particularly has been searching for photos of Stewart’s long-time store manager, Max Morehouse, who retired in the early 1990s.

Mailey said they’d love to display such photos on the new store’s walls.

“Max was an important part of Stewart’s history, and a member of the Stewart’s family in Warrensburg,” he said.

cording to Museum Director Steve Parisi.

“We’re very happy that we hosted more than 50 people — more than last year,” he said.

Parisi added that a lot of people appreciated the Museum’s new Veterans Appreciation Room which includes excerpts from Joe Aiken’s World War I diary and photos he took while he was serving on the war ’s front lines as an ambulance driver. Aiken’s uniform is included in the collection.

During Christmas in Warrensburgh weekend, the Museum also hosted an exhibit of toy trains and accessories, in Lionel scale. The display intrigued the crowd, Parisi said.

Outside, children took carriage rides around the town hall in a downsized rig pulled by miniature horses.

Two reindeer — one a mere baby -- were on site in pens, for children’s enjoyment and edification — included were educational signs on their pen describing the creatures‘ habits and habitat.

While the churches around town hosted bazaars and food sales, Riverside Gallery hosted craft demonstrations including rug hooking, spinning, weaving and porcupine quill work.

Saturday night’s concert at St. Cecilia Catholic Church,featured advent selections from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque eras performed on acoustic recorders by the Courtly Music Unlimited group. The presentation was well received by good crowd, Whalen said.

“The concert was spectacular and very well-attended,” she said.

The prevailing cold weather didn’t keep people away during the day, although the evening treelighting might have been a different matter, she said.

•100 Years Ago – December, 1910• Magic cure-all touted Winter is a season of trouble. The frostbitten toes and fingers, chapped hands and lips, chilblains, cold sores and red and rough skins prove this. Bucklen’s Arnica Salva, which can be bought at B.F. Hammond’s drug store in Warrensburgh for 25 cents, can help cure all this as well as burns, boils, piles, cuts, sores, eczema and sprains.

Tobacco intoxicated the unruly man A man was arrested and taken to jail recently as he had acted in a very violent and disorderly manner at a local public area. He had quarreled with a cabman to such an extent that police took him into custody believing that he had been drinking alcohol, which proved not to be true. The doctor who examined him reported that he had chewed tobacco to such an extent that it had intoxicated him.

Horror for innocent female workers The big news story sweeping the northeast U.S. is coming from Newark, New Jersey. A girl in a factory there held a can of gasoline too near a lighted gas jet. In the fire which resulted, at least 24 girls were killed and there could be many more as the bodies of all of them have not yet been recovered. Twenty-three other girls were gravely injured.

Inadequate fire escapes, plus narrow winding wooden stairways rotted and dried with age as the only means of exit, and blind, wild, unreasoning panic forced by a rush of smoke and flame through the floorings and walls, soaked for years with oil drippings, sums up the story of the horrible fire in the factory occupied by a large underwear and boxmaking concern.

Five minutes after the fire was discovered the fourth floor girls were diving through the thick smoke to the sidewalk in groups. As many as six at a time, holding hands, they plummeted to the earth as firemen struggled to catch some of them in their nets. An estimated 57 young women took the leap fifty-two feet to the ground and 16 were killed by jumping. Eight dead girls were later found in the ruins and fifteen more, presumed dead, are missing. Many more are dying in the hospital.

Wallace seeks return of lost cash Lawrence Wallace placed an ad hoping for the return of $2 in currency that he lost somewhere between the post office and Dr. Cunningham’s house on Elm St., Warrensburgh.

A gentleman from The Glen paid for an ad in the War-

rensburgh News looking to correspond with a lady, 30 to 40years of age, who would like a good husband and a quiet home in the country. He emphasized that only ladies who mean business needed to answer his ad as “triflers” were not wanted.

A Warrensburgh resident placed an ad to sell a lady’s driving mare who was “speedy, a good saddler, absolutely fearless and kind.” Included was a fine cutter and assorted horse paraphernalia of all kinds. They would only sell to someone who would guarantee that their “family pet” would have a good and loving home.

New steamer Horicon launched Regardless of the inclemency of the weather, a large crowd gathered at Baldwin Dec. 1, 1910 to witness the launching of the new 230 foot steamer, Horicon on Lake George. The boat has three decks and a dining room with a seating capacity of 100 people. Mrs. Clifford S. Sims, wife of the vice-president of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, was the sponsor. She broke a bottle of wine over the bows to christen the Horicon.

The new, modern steel craft took to the water without incident and a great cheer went up. It will be placed in service about July 1, 1911 and will replace the old Horicon which was built in 1876 and was dismantled after 34 seasons on the lake. The old Horicon had made its last regular trip Sept. 10, 1910 and later filled in for three days for the steamer Mohican, which was having repair work done on her boilers, before it had been finally scrapped. The new Horicon will have the latest features known to modern shipbuilding.

Construction boom in Bolton Landing The advent of electricity seems to have inspired everyone in Bolton with a desire to build. Zero weather is no longer a sign of cessation of outdoor work.

Truxton Braley and Dr. D.L. Rogers are breaking ground for a big steam-heated store and apartment building lighted with electricity. Sheridan Finkle has a large dwelling well underway. Orlie Vandenberg has completed his barn and horse stable and will soon commence the foundations of his new house.

James Maranville has added 25 horse stalls to his livery business. Summer resident Antonio Knauth is building a garage where he will house one of his Pierce Arrow automobiles next season. Mrs. Percival Knauth is having built an extensive greenhouse to provide her with early vegetables.

Count Cassimer Mankowski has a contract to have a 100foot-long boat house built to house his fast racing boats. Miss Crandall, of Albany, is building a charming residence under

Support offered to overcome life’s struggles BOLTON LANDING — Everyone wrestles with substantial challenges at some point in their life, whether it is sickness, divorce, addiction, abuse, depression, death, or family struggles.

If you or someone you know has struggled with such setbacks, a Bible study group locally is offering insights to help deal with and recover from such challenges.

This Life Recovery Bible Study & Support group will meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday nights beginning Jan. 3, at the Church of Saint Sacrament, 4879 Lake Shore Dr. “Even if you don’t have significant issues at the moment, come anyway, and be a blessing and source of strength and healing for someone who does,” a leader of the group said.

The group is open to all regardless of religious affiliation.

Events planned for Bolton Library The Bolton Free Library announced this week its lineup of December activities, which includes far more pursuits than merely reading.

On Monday, Dec. 13, the Library Book Club will meet at Miriam Mastrianni's house at 7pm to discuss the book Heartbreak Hotel by Anne Rivers Siddons. Everyone is welcome.

On Tuesday, Dec. 14, the Sembrich Winter Film Festival will present The Dead, at the Bolton Free Library. This final film of legendary director John Huston was based on the closing story of James Joyce's Dubliners.

Anjelica Huston is top-billed as Gretta Conroy, the niece by marriage of turn-of-century Irish spinsters Kate Morkan (Helena Carroll) and Julia Morkan (Cathleen Delany). At the home of these two curious ladies, Gretta is prodded into remembering her long-dead lover. She tearfully reveals to her husband (Donal McCann) that the deceased boy may well have died on her behalf. Her tale of woe bespeaks the sentiment shared by James Joyce: no matter how long in their graves, the dead will always influence the living. The film stars Huston's daughter Anjelica and was co-written with his son Tony Huston.

On Thursday, Dec. 16, Mark Perry and Bonnie Donnelly will present a Christmas Sing-Along at 7 p.m. So bring your best singing voice and prepare to join the festivities. Refreshments will be served.

The Friends of the Bolton Free Library will present their Annual Winter Reading on Monday, Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. Come hear several community members tell their favorite winter and Christmas stories and enjoy a few refreshments as well.

Not fit for habitation In a letter to area town supervisors, George McLaughlin, secretary of the state Commission of Prisons, warns them to take serious steps to prevent prisoners from being sent to the Albany County Penitentiary and urges the supervisors to extend the warning to town officials. He says that the institution is unfit to house men and women and he is backed up with reports made by inspectors. He tells of unsanitary conditions and says that until some of the reforms recommended are carried out, the penitentiary remains “an unfit and degrading place for any prisoner to be confined.”

Holden nominated as state historian James Austin Holden of Glens Falls has been suggested as a worthy candidate for appointment by the governor to the position of State Historian and it is widely believed that he is the best man in the state for the position.

Mr. Holden graduated from the Glens Falls Academy in 1881 and from Williams College in 1885 at which time he officiated as class poet. He began his career as a successful editor of the Glens Falls Times and later turned to the study of history and showed to the highest degree his ability along the lines of patient and painstaking historical research.

To the large library of Americana, possessed by his father, the late Austin Wells Holden, M.D., Mr. Holden has added greatly and now has one of the most valuable collections of history relating to this region. Like his father and his grandfather , he has always been a Democrat and has held many positions of trust and honor in Glens Falls.

(Note…James Holden traced his ancestors back to Richard Holden who with his brother, Justinian embarked at Ipswich, England on the ship Francis in April 1634 for America and settled in Watertown, Mass. His descendants moved to Glens Falls in 1836. James’ father, Dr. Austin Wells Holden was a legend in his own time, a famous educator and historian who wrote, A History of the Town of Queensbury, N.Y., “which will bear his name down to posterity,” a volume brought out in 1874 which is much quoted by historians today. apparently James Austin Holden is no relation to the Warren County Historian Emeritus, former judge John Austin.)

To the editor: I just found out that James Perrigo, Lake George Elementary School Counselor, has been wrongfully suspended without pay from his job for four months.

I’ve known Mr. Perrigo for 22 years. He’s a good man who doesn’t deserve this punishment. The school is saying that I was trying to get Mr. Perrigo to counsel me because I was going through a divorce. This simply isn’t true.

In August 2008, I was in the emergency room and Mr. Perrigo was admitted a couple of hours later. I called him at school a few times to see how he was doing, but he didn’t return the calls. That’s when I decided to stop in to the school in October 2008. While I was there, I noticed he had a seventh grade picture of me on the wall.

I stopped back in to give him an updated picture of me with my children in December 2008. Because of these two visits, the school is accusing him of counseling me. I thought we live in the good old U.S.A., where we are innocent until proven guilty.

There isn’t any proof that Mr. Perrigo counseled me at that time. The only time he ever counseled me was when I attended Lake George elementary School.

I have set up a fund for Mr. Perrigo, “Justice for Jamie,” to help him financially during his time of need. If anyone would like to help with this cause, please send a check to: James Perrigo, 197 Valley Road, Warrensburg, NY 12885. I will personally make sure they are delivered to him weekly. Check out Friends of Jamie on Facebook.

Thank you.

E-Z Marine to open new store in Aviation Mall

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — A successful boating equipment shop well-established in Brant Lake is now opening a marine store in Aviation Mall, its owner announced Monday.

Bernie Hill of E-Z Marine is opening a store of the same name adjacent to the mall’s food-court entrance. The store is expected to open to the public as soon as Friday, Hill said.

“There’s not a whole lot going on in the dead of winter, so I thought I’d give the mall store a try and keep my employees on the job,” he said.

This is the first marine store ever located in the mall, although the facility has hosted boat shows through the years.

Hill said he was opening the store in December to take advantage of holiday shopping.

“Now’s the time for people to buy what they need for summertime boating and watersports activities,” he said.

In addition to boating equipment and supplies, the E-Z Marine store will offer fishing gear, wakeboard, tubing and water skiing equipment, outboard motors and various watercraft accessories.

E-Z Marine has been flourishing in Brant Lake for 21 years. It has provided six jobs for local folks in the summer, while downsizing to four in the winter, Hill said.

“People are most welcome to stop in and check out our inventory and say ‘Hello’,” Hill said.

“We’re here to help anyone find anything they need.”

Acclaimed coach to talk to North Warren youth about character

By Lynn Smith denpubs@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — This Sunday, a retired Saratoga Springs high school basketball coach will be presenting several sessions to North Warren area youth about respectful conduct on the court and off.

Rich Johns, 35-year coach at Saratoga High, has delivered a message of “Act with Respect Always” to about a dozen high schools and campuses.

The Dec. 11 session of the Chester-Horicon Youth Basketball program will feature Rich Johns as guest speaker, and he’ll be offering brief presentations at noon, 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Parents of children who play in any of the Youth Commission sports programs are invited to attend one of the free presentations at the North Warren Central School’s gymnasium.

Johns guided Saratoga high school teams to 17 league titles, nine sectional titles and one of his squads to a Section II record with a 85game winning streak.

Johns seeks to prompt student athletes to evaluate their own character, recognize its impact on others, and to strive to develop positive personal traits in athletics and life.

Using eight positive character traits as the foundation of his campaign, Johns now spreads his message to students and coaches in school districts across the region. His organization and a summary of his message can be viewed at: www.actwithrespectalways.com.

Bringing Johns to North Warren are Youth Commission representatives Mindy Conway, interim executive director, and Ron Lewis, a volunteer board member, in conjunction with Jeremy Whipple from the North Warren athletic department.

Rich Johns, noted speaker on athletics and character, describes his mission recently to the Rotary Club of Saratoga Springs as he accepts an award.

EMT donates kidney to daughters’ schoolmate

By Colin Wells

denpubs@denpubs.com WESTPORT — For the last year and a half, Molly Rascoe, a senior at Westport Central School, has traveled to Burlington three times a week for dialysis. In July 2009, Molly was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that impaired her kidney function, and she needed the regular blood treatments in order to survive.

Now, she has every reason to hope that those long hours hooked up to the dialysis machine are a thing of the past. On Dec. 1, Molly underwent a successful kidney transplant at Burlington's Fletcher Allen hospital.

Molly's new kidney began functioning almost immediately, and her recovery has gone smoothly. She came home Dec. 5, two days earlier than expected.

She and her family are overjoyed at the successful outcome, though Molly's doctors caution that there is still a chance that her body might reject the kidney.

“The next two to three weeks will be critical,” Brad Rascoe, Molly's father, said shortly after Molly returned home. “After that, the chances of rejection go down. We're hoping for the best, but we have to be very careful for a few weeks.”

To lessen the chance of rejection, he explained, Molly is being given medication to suppress her immune system. “She can go to a movie, but if someone’s coughing near her she'll have to leave. She's looking forward to seeing her friends again, but she won't be able to go back to school for at least a month or so.”

Molly, whose positive attitude throughout her illness has impressed everyone who knows her, has her eyes on the slightly longer term. Westport girls shine at basketball, and Molly, a dedicated athlete, is no exception.

“I'm going to be on the team,” she said, smiling. “I'll probably sit on the bench, but my goal is to play in a game before the end of the season.”

If Molly does get to play in a game, it's likely that Ben Sudduth will be sitting in the bleachers cheering her on. Sudduth, whose own daughters Mallory and Megan attend WCS with Mol-

ly and her sister Emily, donated the kidney that's now working inside Molly.

Sudduth has been a volunteer firefighter and EMT for decades, and is currently captain of the Westport Emergency Squad. He still remembers a call to the Rascoe home when Molly suffered seizures from her illness in August 2009. He said that after years of focusing on just keeping people alive and getting them to the hospital, “I'm grateful that now I've had a real chance to actually fix somebody.”

“For the rest of my life, I'm going to feel good about doing this,” he continued. “I highly recommend that people think about becoming a donor.”

People are born with two kidneys, he pointed out, but only need one. Studies have proven that kidney donors are just as healthy and live just as long as those who keep both kidneys.

“There's thousands of sick young people waiting for kidneys.

Most anyone can do this,” he said.

He urged those interested to call Kate Devine, Fletcher Allen's pediatric transplant coordinator, at (802) 847-4291.

The day before the transplant, the school and the community gathered in the school gym for an emotional send-off hosted by Molly's fellow seniors. Each elementary class presented Molly with a “Get Well Soon” card, and well-wishers had a chance to express public appreciation for Ben Sudduth's selfless act.

Molly's cause was taken up by a number of local organizations, including the Christopher Emmet Hallowell Fund, the Adirondack Polo Club, the Pull Tabs for Molly campaign, the Westport Education Association, and the Westport Fire Department and Emergency Squad. In Vermont, Molly and her family benefited from the assistance of Ronald McDonald House and Child Life of Vermont Childrens' Hospital.

“First and foremost, we're so grateful to Ben,” Brad Rascoe said after Molly was home. “We've had such strong support from the whole community, and he was the icing on the cake. Molly's attitude from the beginning has been that she just did what she needed to do. But with the tremendous amount of support that we've received from people in Westport and neighboring communities, that made it so much easier.”

ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 9

Biking to school?

Not this century!

A

ccording to a study released by The Outdoor Foundation, more than 137 million Americans participated in outdoor recreational activities last year. That figure represents nearly 50 percent of all Americans, age six and older.

However, the study failed to illustrate the growing inactivity crisis among our youth and the alarming disconnect that has been occurring nationwide between children and the outdoors.

In less than a generation, the United States has become a very mobile and consumptive nation. The average American household now has at least two cars in the garage, and often three. There are also about 2.7 cell phones per household and we use them more often than our landlines.

Over the same timeframe, the average number of bicycles owned has shrunk dramatically, nationwide. In the 1960s, 60 to 70 percent of students who lived within two miles walked or took a bike to school. Now, it’s down to less than 9 percent and bike racks have been replaced by student parking lots.

As one student recently explained, “Bikes are fun, but not for school. If you’re 16 and still riding a bike to school ... well, it’s just not too cool.”

Digitally inanimate Today’s young men and women are aptly described as the “Digital Generation.” They came of age at a time when the world was connected as never before.

With the advent of computers, the Internet and cellular phones, today’s youth are encapsulated and ensnared by a technological bubble. Childhood has changed dramatically.

Today’s kids consider radio an ancient technology. As explained to me by an earphonewagging fan, “Why wait for a DJ to play a song I like, when my iPod is already full of them?”

Modern day children are extremely wellconnected. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation study reveals the average kid consumes 2.5 hours of music each day, as well as nearly five hours of TV and DVD movies, three hours of Internet and video games, and just 38 minutes

of old-fashioned reading. The report did not even consider the time kids spent on the phone or texting and yet the average kid is currently connected for a combined 11.5 hours per day.

The burgeoning demands of “wired play,” which are often accomplished alone or with just one other kid, leave little time for Junior to ride a bike, take a hike or go skiing or sledding. Is it any wonder we are becoming an obese nation?

You can’t throw a snowball or ride a sled on a Wii. This growing inactivity crisis among America’s youth and the quiet disconnect between youth and the outdoors may have serious consequences unless it is addressed in the near future.

What are we doing?

Although The Outdoor Foundation’s 2010 report revealed increases in a number of recreational pursuits last year, there were also significant decreases, especially in activities they have been tracked for more than a decade.

The Outdoor Foundation worked with its partners in the Physical Activity Council to measure participation in 117 diverse sports, fitness and recreational activities. In total, 77 percent of Americans age 6 and older, or about 217 million people, participated in at least one activity.

However, this still leaves 33 percent or 64.6 million people who are inactive, even in the broadest definition of activity.

The report revealed the major activity increase has been in running/jogging, which is up 39.8 percent over the past decade. Activities including day hiking/8.4 percent, trail running/16.0 percent percent and snowshoeing/17.4 percent experienced similar increases.

On the flip side, activities reporting a decade long decrease include BMX bicycling/-43.6 percent, canoeing/-7.6 percent, freshwater fishing/-6.3 percent, flyfishing/17.1 percent and scuba diving/-36.7 percent It is estimated nearly 151 million Americans took part in at least one high calorie activity.

This number drops to 78 million people who

claim to be frequent participants in high calorie activities, less than one-third of the nation’s population above the age of six.

More than half of the adult population is sedentary; they do not participate in any physical activities. Although three-quarters of all student age respondents reported they took part in PE at school regularly, only about onethird participated in outdoor activities, team sports or cycling. Better than half (55.6 percent) of all school-age children reported being non-active outside of PE class.

The Shoe Leather Express While the numbers may be startling, it is important to note three-quarters of all children, ages 6-12, report their parents are the most important influence on their participation in outdoor activities.

If we want our kids to get involved, we must involve ourselves. The most important form of recreation is an activity that becomes routine and regular, they become a part of your lifestyle.

Start simply, by walking to the store, the Post Office or to another easy to access landmark whether a bridge, a stream or a nearby open space, and take Junior along. It’s always more fun to share an activity with someone.

During the winter, it is important to have a regular routine for getting outdoors. Preferably, try to find one comfortably accessible and easily managed in all sorts of weather. It doesn’t take much time, an hour a day is suf-

HOW TO REACH

ficient I was often reminded in my youth, “Keep your feet moving and your mouth shut, and you’ll go places,” and it’s still true today.

Sure, it’s nice to stop for a chat and be neighborly, but the point is to keep moving.

It is also important to note regular riders of the old “Shoe Leather Express” rarely stop to linger at the doctor ’s office. The more often you keep your treads in two-wheel drive, the less often you’ll need to bring them to the repair shop.

Despite the downturn in our national economy, the fact remains travelers are gravitating to natural settings where recreation is relatively inexpensive and readily-available.

This is good news for the Adirondacks, from a market perspective.

“We see the economy driving people back to nature. This has tremendous implications for health and wellness issues surrounding the sharp increases in childhood obesity,” said Christine Fanning, executive director of The Outdoor Foundation. “Outdoor recreation is finally being recognized as part of the solution. Our position is that nature should be the first prescription.”

CHESTERTOWN — That jolly super-sized elf who annually spreads good cheer will be visiting two northern Warren County towns this Saturday, Dec. 11.

In Chestertown, Santa Claus will be hosted by the local Rotary Club. This hometown visit, arranged by the Rotarians, has been a beloved tradition for nearly 40 years. The event is to begin at 9:45 a.m. at the Town of Chester Municipal Center.

Santa is expected to arrive at 10 a.m. on a fire truck.

In Warrensburg, Santa will be welcomed at noon by dozens of children gathered at the Warrensburg Firehouse on Elm St. The event includes hot chocolate and cookies and free photos with Santa, who annually hands out bags of candies as he listens to Christmas wishes. The visit has been sponsored for decades by the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. to the delight of local children.

In Chestertown, the event includes free photographs with Santa and refreshments for all as well as complimentary gifts for children. Hayrides are expected to be available from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

In conjunction with Santa’s visit , the Chester Library will be holding a Gingerbread House Workshop. During the sessions, set for 9:30 and 11 a.m., children can create their own gingerbread house — one savory structure per family, and materials are free. Simultaneously, a cookie-decorating workshop will be offered at the library by the ChesterHoricon Youth Commission.

Shop locally and save money For your holiday gift giving needs this year, support your local merchants The holiday gift buying season is officially in full swing. It seems to be starting earlier and earlier each year. You start seeing commercials and decorations in September.

For many retailers hoping to end the year with a profit, the season “officially” starts on what is known as Black Friday. The Friday following Thanksgiving is called Black Friday in reference to the fact that many retailers operate in the “red” all year and thanks to this most important holiday shopping day, this is when they finally start to turn a profit.

While consumer spending is an important part of our national economy, concern is growing over where we spend our money.

This is why shopping locally is so important for the holiday season. Economically speaking, doing this helps to keep businesses open and people employed. These local businesses support local charities and non-profit organizations.

Business taxes help support local governments.

Don’t fight huge crowds at the mall and spend hours in lines that never seem to end searching for something that has just been sold out. Doesn’t it make more sense, take less time and save lots of money (in gas alone), to shop your local merchants?

This year relax, knowing you’ve saved money, time and your sanity, and find the perfect present in your own home town!

SATURDAY December 11, 2010

beloved by residents of Thurman and nearby communities. At times, the line of mourners extended from the funeral home down their driveway to the street, an uncommon sight in Warrensburg.

Vern Baker wa a friend to many, a skilled vehicle and equipment repair technician, and owner of Bakers Motorsports, which sold parts and accessories for snowmobiles and ATVs and offered repair services.

Baker was also a talented woodworker and builder.

Baker not only enjoyed snowmobiling — he was a founder of the local snowmobile club — but he loved outdoor sports including hunting and fishing.

Baker leaves behind his wife Amy Combs-Baker and their children, plus many, many relatives in the area.

We offer condolences to the Baker family as we recall fond memories of Vern and the positive impact he has had on so many lives in the North Country.

Thanksgiving gatherings around town Irene Hall of Hudson St. in Warrensburg enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner with Kim and Keith Evans on River St. They all had a surprise phone call from Romania. Irene's great grandson Nathan Evans is going to college in Romania, and he called to wish his parents and grandmother a happy holiday.

Dot Maxam of Bowen Hill Road enjoyed the holiday with family members in Greenwich at the home of Jeffrey and Jean Hall and family. Her sister, Allie Hall of Hadley and Melissa and John Hall, also of Hadley, enjoyed time spent together on Thanksgiving with their Aunt Dot. Paula and Russ Hubert of Combs Road decided to eat out at a restaurant in Queensbury! They enjoyed no dishes to wash!

A surprise call was received from former Thurman neighbor Randy Baker to say all was well in Alabama. He misses their friends but not the snow and cold weather.

Barb and Charlie Metzger of Sky High Road enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with their daughter and family Donna and Bob Herrmann and their children at their new home on South Johnsburg Road.

Nora and Marc Merkle and daughter Heidi of Luzerne hand delivered a delicious big dinner to their mom, Barb Keene, South Johnsburg Road on Thanksgiving and spent the day with her.

Doris Bunker of Drexel Road enjoyed the holiday with her daughters, Sue Moffitt, and Kathy and Kevin Clark from Pennsylvania in Fort Edward. Also spending the day were many grandchildren.

Leila Wood and many other family members gathered for a big Thanksgiving dinner at the Mud Street home of her daughter, Eileen Baker.

Karma and Ernie Smith of Cameron Road had a late Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday because the “boys” wanted to go hunting on Thursday. Her grandson Jerrod Smith and his friend both came home with a deer.

Gathering at the home of Liz and Stu Stewart on Athol Road for dinner were their daughter Anya and Scott Young and son Slade of South Bethlehem. Frank Stewart of Vancouver, Washington had been up earlier spending time with his brother and family.

Special days in the hill country Blowing out birthday candles this week will be: Ruth Keller on Dec. 11; Frank Gallup, Suzie Baker, Carolyn Grotevent and Rolland Hennesy on Dec. 12; Louis Gregory on Dec. 14; Freda West on Dec. 15; Amanda Baker, Brian Angell and Tom Palleschi on Dec. 16; and Bob Baker on Dec. 17.

Happy Anniversary wishes are out to Joe and Ginny Mosher, wed 44 years on Dec. 17.

Personal news Sympathy from the community is out to the family of Lorna Blanchard who passed away Nov. 21.

Wanda Wood of Easton came to visit her mom Leila Wood at her Mud Street home Nov. 23. Some family members stopped to say hello while she was here, and always enjoy their short visits with her.

Irene Hall has new great-grandchild Thomas and Stephanie Hall of Oxford, Mass. are proud to announce the birth of a baby girl born at 2:47 p.m. Nov. 23.

Burgher girls on a roll as they start season

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — For the first time in recent history, the Warrensburg Girls Varsity Basketball team has started out their season with two consecutive wins.

For team coach Scott Smith, who’s kept up his positive, encouraging and enthusiastic mentoring over years of losing seasons, this 2010-11 debut is more than welcome.

“It’s been quite a while for a season opening like this, so it’s a nice start for us,” he said.

Monday, Warrensburg beat Bolton 37-31 after trailing most of the game, occasionally trading the lead with the energetic Eagles.

The game followed the Burgher ’s decisive 44-19 victory Dec. 2 over Johnsburg Smith said Monday’s victory wasn’t an easy win, because Bolton fought hard, and the crowd in the Eagles’ gym was vocal in support of their team.

“It was everything we needed in an early season game — both teams played tough defense, there was a hostile crowd that was loud and rambunctious,” he said. “It took us a while to get our nerve and settle down.”

Headlining the Burgher effort against Bolton was high-scorer Ashlie Morehouse, who tallied eight of her 14 points in the fourth quarter — 12 of them in the second half.

Early in the game, Morehouse forced some shots, but later on she worked hard to get open inside and take successful shots.

“Bolton did a good job collapsing on Ashlie when she got the ball — But later, she executed well in the fourth quarter —she stepped up big,” Smith said about his 6-foot center.

Backing her up was Senior Ariella Allen, who is enjoying a meteoric rebirth of her career this year after one season off. She grabbed 13 rebounds while contributing 7 points, Smith said.

“Ariella was huge for us against both Bolton and Johnsburg,” Smith said about his 5’8” Senior forward, mentioning her 10 rebounds and 7 points against the Jaguars.

“She’s really done a great job.”

In the back court, Junior guard Isabella Szabo has been performing well, Smith said, in the absence of experienced playmaker Jaci O’Brien, who is sidelined with an injury until January.

Against Bolton, Szabo scored 7 points, including the game’s lone three-pointer.

Against Johnsburg however, Szabo hit two treys and 10 points to help secure the Burgher victory.

Senior Katelyn Kuklinski, the companion guard, tallied 8 assists and 5 points against Johnsburg, plus 4 more against Bolton.

Against the Eagles, Ashlie Morehouse scored a career-high 18 points along with 10 rebounds, Smith said.

“We’re working hard as a team and excited to be 2-0 at this point,” Smith said, adding a note of caution. “But now we’re going into Adirondack League play, which is highly competitive, and we need to step up to that challenge every night.”

On Friday the Burghers host Argyle, and on Monday, they host Corinth. Both teams traditionally have fared well.

Smith said his squad is ready for some grueling action.

“We hope to keep the momentum going,” he said. “We’re going to make a little noise in our league this year.”

Right: Burgher point guard Isabella Szabo drives around a Corinth defender while teammate Acacia Ladd-Cocca watches during a 2009 matchup.

Considered an outside scoring threat, Szabo is a key player on the 2010-11 team that is now 2-0. The Burghers will host Argyle on Friday and Corinth on Monday as they shift from non-league games into the competitive Adirondack League play.

Vaisey victory tops team effort WCS wrestlers fare well in tourney

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg High School Varsity wrestlers served up a solid early-season showing Saturday by placing sixth in the Saranac Early-Bird Tournament.

This respectable showing was overshadowed by another aspect of their performance — every wrestler in the Burgher lineup competing won at least one match in the tourney. This feat is the first-ever for the Warrensburg squad in recent history, WCS wrestling coach Mark Trapasso said Monday.

The Burghers’ individual accomplishments Saturday were headlined by Jon Vaisey who took first place in his 103pound weight class.

Vaisey’s championship was backed up by Lucas Nelson taking second in the 160-pound weight class, and Beecher Baker tallying fourth at 112 pounds.

Vaisey, a junior, beat top-seeded Nate Marshall of Franklin Academy in Malone, Trapasso said.

“It was a big upset,” he said. “Marshall was all over Jon very early, but Jon countered every move Marshall did, and

then Jon hit him with a headlock and pinned him in a minute and 5 seconds.”

Trapasso said Marshall is an exceptional wrestler — he’s competed in state tournaments twice — but Jon happened to derail him in this matchup.

“Saturday was Jon’s day to win,” he said.

Vaisey’s ability to counter every move may have been sharpened by competing during the off-season this year in the Empire State Games, assistant wrestling Coach Scott McKenna said, noting that Vaisey has in the past been noted for his muscle mass rather than savvy moves.

“Jon is muscular and intimidating — he’s a good brawler,” McKenna said. “But this past spring and summer, he picked up a lot of wrestling technique.”

Monday, Vaisey was recognized by school officials, who allowed him to wear his Saranac championship T-shirt through the school day.

With a smile,Vaisey said he enjoyed both the attention and the victory.

“It was the first tournament I ever won,” he said. “It was an exciting new thing.”

Vaisey’s teammate Lucas Nelson, a junior, won his qualifying matches during the Saranac tourney, but was beaten 10 in the finals, Trapasso said.

“Nelson wrestled well, but he happened to let this match get away,” the coach said.

“This match provides an early-season lesson.”

Beecher Baker, a sophomore, wrestled in the tough 112-pound class and did well under the circumstances, Trapasso said.

Other Burghers also tallied some accomplishments at the tournament.

Max Roach, an 8th grader, placed 5th at 96 pounds.

Zach Baer, a junior, placed 5th at 152 pounds. Jeremy Barber, a junior was 5th at 171 pounds. The team’s heavyweight, Tony Auricchio, a senior, placed 5th at 285 pounds.

Seven of their teammates placed 7th: Nick Nedelcu, a freshman, at 119 pounds, Masyn Morey, a senior, at 125 pounds, Will Yarmowich, a freshman, at 130 pounds,

Denver Berry, a freshman, at 135 pounds, Chris Robinson, a sophomore, at 140 pounds, Andrew Fish, a junior, at 145 pounds, and Desmon Allen, a sophomore, at 189 pounds.

Trapasso said he was happy for the results.

“It was a good team effort,” he said. “The squad is young and inexperienced, but they’re working hard and they’re listening to instruction — it’s a great group of kids.”

SPORTS • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 17 from Tori Persons, Alana Peterson and Roselynn Denne.

Boys basketball

Girls basketball

Lake George 57, Ticonderoga 38

Hartford 60, Bolton 13

TICONDEROGA -- The Lake George High School Boys Basketball team continued to demonstrate the versatility and talent of their players Dec. 3 as they defeated Ticonderoga Dec. 3 by a score of 57 to 38.

Although the Warriors’ offense pumped up their fans, their defense and depth were perhaps most consequential in winning this non-league contest, as three players alone accounted for 36 rebounds.

While 6’7” Matt McGowan shot a solid 25 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the Warriors, Matt Stover at 6’5” put on a performance defensively with seven blocks, 11 rebounds, plus four assists.

In a clear demonstration of the Warriors’ depth and courtsense, the ultra-hot Aaron Chambers scored 14 points -- including four 3-pointers -- and J.D. Jenkins hauled down 10 rebounds.

Alex Hladik contributed 8 points, Jeff Maldonado tallied 6, Ryan Moll added 2, and Matt Stover chipped in 1.

The Warriors, frustrating the Ticonderoga offense, were able to keep Ticonderoga away from the basket for most of the court time.

Nate Lenhart sank 13 points for Ticonderoga, a tally which included 3 three-pointers.

With the win, Lake George starts out their promising 201011 season 2-0 overall.

Peru 74, North Warren 32

HARTFORD -- In an impressive offensive show coupled with furious defense, the Hartford Girls Basketball team buried Bolton Dec. 3 by a score of 60-13.

Kayla Casey scored a game-high 16 points with 4 threepointers to lead the Tanagers.

Dominique-Jean Servelli's four points led Bolton, followed by a three-pointer from Emma Cady, and 2 points each

PERU -- A runaway second half in which they were outscored by 42-11 buried North Warren in a contest against Peru during the opening round of Peru’s Stephanie Wheet Tip-Off tournament. The annual competition is named after a Peru High School student killed in a motorcycle accident.

Kiera Warner led the Cougars with 12 points — including two 3 pointers, Margo Broderick contributed 10, and Chantal Millington added 8 —including two 3-pointers, and Lindsey Meade chipped in 2.

Greenwich 73, Warrensburg 30 GREENWICH -- Greenwich hit no less than 11 three-point shots to crush Warrensburg 73-30 Sunday in the championship game of the Witch’s annual boys basketball tournament.

Four players scored in double figures for Greenwich.

For the game, Burghers Ryan Belden scored 15 points and John Joseph tallied 6. Despite the loss, Joseph and Belden 15 were named all-tournament players.

With the loss, Warrensburg slipped to 1-1.

Warrensburg 54, Salem Central 44 GREENWICH — Warrensburg’s offense jumped out to an aggressive 18-5 first-quarter start as Warrensburg defeated Salem 54-44 in the John Traver Memorial Tournament opener held Dec. 2. Senior Burgher Forward John Joseph scored 16 points in the victory, and classmate backcourt standout Mike Curtis tallied 13 points. Contributing to the season-opening win were Senior Ryan Belden with 9 points, Senior Nick Monroe with four points, Juniors Corey Chadwell with 6 points and Tyler Williams with 4, and Senior Aaron Seeley with 2.

Hartford 42, Bolton 35 HARTFORD -- Hartford combined an aggressive defense with persistent, consistent offense to defeat Bolton Dec. 3 in a semifinal Dec. 3 of the Coaches vs. Cancer Shootout.

With Hartford pressuring the veteran Eagle players and foiling shooting opportunities, the younger Eagles topped the scoring statistics.

Bolton was led by Junior Todd Markham’s 10 points and Sophomore Will Smith’s nine. Assisting the two were three Seniors: Caleb Kneeshaw with 6 points, Tyler Calzada with 5 points, Matthew Smith with 4 points and one Junior, Mitchell Jordan with one point.

Hartford’s defense contained much of Bolton’s offense to the outside, where Bolton managed to score five three-point goals. Hitting trees for Bolton were Markham with two long-shot goals, and Calzada, Will Smith and Kneeshaw with one each.

Players on the Harlem Wizards basketball team trade quips with members of the crowd who attended their matchup Monday with faculty of North Warren Central School. The event, now annual, raises funds in part for the school’s girls basketball program. The event was well-received — the Wizards presented stunts as well as impressing North Country residents with their ball-handling prowess.

LGCS War Eagles Wrestling

‘War Eagles’ likely to extend success

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

LAKE GEORGE — Three years ago, a group of athletes at Lake George seeking to keep in shape during the off-season for football, teamed up with Hadley-Luzerne to form a wrestling team.

Competing against well-established wrestling programs elsewhere, they had their work cut out for them.

In only two seasons, they made their mark, under the mentorship of legendary 40-year coach Jack LaBombard and the talented Larry Rounds of Hadley-Luzerne.

In February, the War-Eagles team placed an admirable fourth in the Section II Class CC tournament, competing against some established powerhouse teams.

On top of this feat, no less than seven War-Eagle wrestlers qualified for the Section II finals. Heavyweight Jack Clark, in the 285-pound weight class, placed third in Section II and qualified for the state tournament. Clark, Hunter Hamilton, Jason Yard and Dan Jardine all made it to the Glens Falls Civic Center. Clark was beaten only by the wrestler who continued on to become the state champion, LaBombard recalled.

“We shocked everybody,” he said.

Clark, Hamilton and Yard are returning along with Kyle Bachem — these four have been active in the program for its entire existence — plus outstanding Hadley-Luzerne wrestlers Zach Olson at 130 pounds and Joe Plante at 125.

Bachem competes at 171 pounds, Clark at 285, Hamilton at 140, and Yard at 189.

These experienced wrestlers are joined by returning juniors Casey Bills at 112 pounds, Lee McCabe at 285 and sophomores Art Barber at 165 or so, and Dan Jardine at 119.

tis McCoy at 116, junior Robert Ford at 171, sophomore Jamie Dolan at 130, and seventh grade sensation Forrest Kubricky at 105.

LaBombard said he’s expecting his experienced veterans to set the tone for the newcomers.

“Jack Clark is a powerful wrestler — he’s built like a ox, and when the whistle blows, he comes out like a firetruck,” he said.

Jason Yard also received LaBombard’s praise.

“Jason’s the best pure athlete on team — he’s extremely athletic, and he’s got a good work ethic — he can do any-

thing,” he said.

LaBombard said his 2010-11 squad is geared up to propel the program to new heights.

“The team as a whole has a great work ethic,“ he said, noting the team will be very strong in the lower weight classes as well as the upper weight classes. *Editor’s Note: The LGCS War Eagles were inadvertantly ommitted from an Adirondack Journal Winter Sports Preview printed last week.

SATURDAY December 11, 2010

Change From page 1 Stec is the first county board chairman hailing from Queensbury for 20 years. Traditionally, board chairs have generally been chosen from the municipalities other than Queensbury or Glens Falls, some say in a gesture to provide a balance in power on the board, as the voting by supervisors is heavily tilted toward these two municipal entities because the weighted voting is based on population.

Positions and votes on a variety of issues have often been divided along such rural-versus-metropolitan lines.

Stec assured Friday he will not be showing favoritism to his hometown or Glens Falls at the expense of rural upcounty towns.

“There will be no directional changes nor geographical shifts when I become chairman,” he said. “I will continue to focus on economic issues which affect Main Street regardless of where people live.”

Stec said the pressing issues facing the county, including economic development and figuring out how to relieve the burden of unfunded state mandates, effect upcounty and down-county residents equally.

He said that one issue dear to upcounty residents remains atop his action agenda — availability of broadband services in rural areas at a reasonable cost.

Four years ago, Stec was considering a candidacy for county Treasurer. Last year, he initiated a drive to gain the Republican endorsement for the U.S. 20th Congressional District seat, but was overtaken in

his primary quest by Chris Gibson, who won the seat in November from incumbent Scott Murphy.

Stec said Dec. 3 that he wasn’t going to seek the county Treasurer post, although incumbent Treasurer has said he’s retiring when his term is completed at the end of next year.

Stec said he’d be running again for Queensbury Town

ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 19

Supervisor post, and thus seeking to continue in his position as chairman of the county Board of Supervisors.

What lies beyond the top county political post for Stec?

He declined to say Friday if he’d run for a state or federal position.

“Being the chairman of the county board, however, doesn’t hurt me politically,” he said with a smile.

Little From page 1 Little said Monday she’s seeking the chairmanship of the committee because she represents a Senate district largely driven by a tourism economy.

“I’m beginning to look more favorably on asking for the chairmanship of tourism,” she said. “Our area is so dependent on upon it and it seems to get the short end of the funding stick.”

Under the Democratic majority, Little has been the ranking Republican on both the Senate Tourism Committee and the Local Government Committee.

The post would give Little even greater sway over deciding on funding for influential entities in the area like the state Olympic Regional Development Authority.

“I do have a leadership position, but sort of at the bottom rung,” she said. “I’m looking to do more of that.”

Little has drafted a memo to incoming Majority Leader Dean Skelos seeking not only the top tourism post, but also a seat on the influential Finance Committee.

Syracuse lawmaker John DeFrancisco is currently the ranking Republican on the Finance Committee. He made it a habit to challenge Democratic Finance Committee Chairman Carl Kruger.

Several retirements will bump Little up in the Senate GOP hierarchy.

Skelos spokesman Mark Hanson said this week that no concrete choices for committee chairmanships have been made.

“You’re a little ahead of the game,” he said. “Senator Little has done an outstanding job in a number of areas and we’ll be determining that as we go forward.”

With Democratic Sen. Suzi Oppenhiemer’s victory over Republican challenger Bob Cohen in Westchester County, Republicans are expected to hold a 32-30 Senate majority come January.

The majority will give the GOP its only statewide power base and allow the party to drastically influence gubernatorial appointments and the state budgeting process.

Little called the GOP Senate takeover a blessing for upstate.

She said that after two years primarily in the minority, Senate Republicans may be more agreeable to Democratic bills than they have in the past.
