LAKE GEORGE „ With an intent to prompt upgrades to downtown buildings, Lake George Village trustees have proposed a property tax break for business proprietors who make improvements to their properties.

The initiative would exempt property owners from paying full taxes, for over a decade, on the assessed value of their property improvements.

Instead, the property owners would pay 50 percent of the assessed value of the upgrades during the first year, and 5 percent less each year until the exemption expires.

Monday April 15, the trustees decided against a proposed stipulation that would call for a minimum of $50,000 in improvements to qualify.

They decided to set a $10,000 minimum instead, citing that the lower amount would prompt more business owners to upgrade their properties.

The law would replace an existing schedule of exemptions for those boosting their assessments by $50,000, which

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

Kathy Naftaly of Lake George takes a break from her duties Tuesday April 16 at Crandall Library, hours after the announcement of her promotion to the position of permanent director of the influential institution.

Photo by Thom Randall

GLENS FALLS „ After a nationwide search to hire a new director for Crandall Library, the institution� s board of trustees has decided to select Kathy Naftaly of Lake George, the venue� s present acting director.

SheĂ? s served in the position since the retirement last July of long-time library director Christine McDonald.

The selection was announced by the board on Tuesday April 16. Naftaly starts in her new post May 1.

A 12-year employee of the library, Naftaly was serving as assistant director during the libraryĂ? s moves in and out of temporary quarters while the extensive building addition and expansion project was underway.

Naftaly also coordinated implementation of Crandall libraryĂ? s modern self-help materials checkout and computerized cataloguing systems. She has also garnered grants from such organizations as the National Science Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Naftaly lives in Lake George with her hus-

band Phillip, a SUNY Adirondack professor, and their son.

Before moving to Warren County, Naftaly was assistant director of Rutland Free Library.

While serving in the post, she was named VermontĂ? s Ăą Cybrarian of the Year.ĂŽ Crandall Library has an annual budget exceeding $4.1 million, about three-quarters of it from public funding. NaftalyĂ? s salary has not been set, but itĂ? s expected to be within $75,000 and $100,000 annually.

Soon after the hiring decision for Crandall Library was announced on Tuesday, Naftaly said she was looking forward to serving in her position. ù I� m ecstatic,Î she said. ù I love this library, and I think the fit is going to be magical.�

She said that through her work, she� d be fulfilling her aim of giving back to the community „ working to further Crandall library� s already remarkable regional influence through its many services and programs. ù My whole life, I� ve been a passionate advocate for libraries and the knowledge, culture, stability, connections and quality of life they bring to communities.Î she said.

LAKE GEORGE „ Behind a serving table, Chef Deric Buck grinned as he looked at a long line of people having his Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes and Mediterranean Chicken dished onto their plates by his catering employees.

Minutes earlier, none other than television celebrity Rachael Ray had introduced Buck to the capacity crowd gathered in the Lake George High School auditorium to hear her talk about cooking and offer details of her life.

In the local appearance, Rachael Ray praised BuckĂ? s cooking and the staff of his catering operation. Buck is proprietor of BogeyĂ? s Pub & Grill as well as Bay Meadows Golf Center, where the eatery is located at 31 Cronin Road in Queensbury. Ăą This is a huge opportunity for me,ĂŽ Buck said as people consumed the entrees he had prepared with fresh ingredients. Ăą To prepare this meal for the Rachael Ray Show represents a tremendous break for us, in promoting the work weĂ? re doing in Queensbury.ĂŽ While Buck and his staff dished out the entrees plus savory couscous with slivered almonds and fresh bay leaves, employees of the Lake George Baking Co. handed out orange and lemon cupcakes for dessert.

Earlier, Rachael Ray had noted that Baking Co. proprietors Buster and Debbie Alberino had recently presented her with a beloved gift „ a life-sized cake of her dog Isaboo. Last year, the Alberinos gave her a towering personalized cake to commemorate her 10th year of presenting a show at her alma mater, Lake George High School.

Also, Rachael erupted in a near-shriek of joy when she was presented with a gift of gourmet food from OscarĂ? s Smoke House of Warrensburg, one of her favorite purveyors anywhere.

In addition to BogeyĂ? s Pub & Grill, Bay Meadows Golf Center features a 9-hole course, plus five indoor golf simulators depicting 43 PGA Tour courses.

Bogey� s, which features sandwiches, wraps, pizza, salads, wings and a wide variety of specialties, serves food daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., either in their dining room or in their pub next to their golf simulators. Their dining room is open for lunch 11 to 3 p.m. daily and will soon be open three to four nights per week „ when golf season gets underway.

Take-out and delivery of their food is available seven days per week. Bogey’s and the golf center can be reached at 792-1650.

The driving range is now open „ it features inexpensive prices for golfers to practice their swing, and tune up for the season, Buck said.

CHESTERTOWN „ Although the North Warren Baseball team was recently defeated by two Washington County teams, a victory last week against Adirondack League Western Division rival Bolton was welcome, North Warren coach Jason Humiston said April 16. ñ Our defense and pitching has been fairly strong,î he said. ñ But we canÍ t continue scoring one to two runs per game, we have to manufacture five or six to compete.”

The Cougars won the game against Bolton by a score of 8-4, powered by a strong pitching and batting performance by Ethan Schenke.

Schenke tallied 14 strikeouts and hit a double as well as batting in two runs.

Robert French slammed a double and a triple in the earlyseason victory.

The momentum in the game changed several times, as North Warren took a 5-2 lead after a four-run third inning. Bolton answered with two runs in the fifth, and North Warren responded immediately with three.

For Bolton, Josh Persons scored two runs and Django Denne had two hits for two at-bats.

The game was called off in the sixth inning due to rain.

The Cougars were defeated 2-9 by Argyle on April 15, and lost 0-9 on April 8 to Fort Ann, which competed in the state championship tournament last year.

Humiston noted that his team is now getting accustomed to playing outdoors, as they have been practicing indoors due to wet fields — as well as enduring freezing rain April 12.

Internet expansion key for region Much more work remains to be done

A

statewide $25 million project to expand high-speed internet access in rural New York through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program is welcome news.

The project includes $2.1 million to provide high-speed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the unserved areas of Schroon and North Hudson. The service will be delivered utilizing fiber to the home technology.

Also included is $557,000 for Essex County broadband service expansion. That money will provide high-speed broadband service to households that do not have access in Jay and Wilmington, passing 1,900 homes. The project will also provide digital video services and potentially a competitive telephone service.

Statewide the projects will build approximately 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure and will provide high-speed internet service to 153,000 New York households, 8,000 businesses and 400 community anchor institutions.

While internet use has become the norm, itÍ s still not available in many areas. High-speed service, normally provided through cable companies, typically stops where cable television service ends. That means hundreds of rural areas remain without high-speed internet access.

High-speed internet expansion is crucial for the North Country, which faces the ñ digital divide.î The term was coined by sociologists to describe a split in American society between those with access to readily available information and those who do not. Most agree, people without access to the internet are at a disadvantage.

Information and communication technologies are vital in today’s world, just as reading was centuries ago. Internet access can impact education, economic equality, social mobility and a host of other issues. TodayÍ s students need the internet. Most employment applications are now found on line. Facebook, Twitter and other internet social media dominate todayÍ s society.

Internet access also benefits entire communities. It can lead to a healthier democracy through increased public participation in elections and decision making processes. It can also foster economic development and growth.

Bridging the ñ digital divideî is necessary in a democratic society, otherwise the United States runs the risk of becoming a nation of ñ havesî and ñ have nots.î The Connect NY Broadband Grant Program should be lauded for its efforts.

But thereÍ s work to be done. Even after the announcement in March of 18 Connect NY Broadband Grant Program projects, many rural areas will remain without high-speed internet. The state awarded $25 million for internet expansion, but $89 million was requested. That left many North Country communities still lagging. LetÍ s hope the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program continues until all of New York has the internet access it needs. „

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden 100 Years Ago - April 1913 Time before memory began

Since the big bridge between Glens Falls and South Glens Falls went crashing into the turbulent Hudson River on March 27, 1913 before hundreds of onlookers, there has been much interest among historians about a previous bridge, the first bridge to ever cover that gorge.

So many years have passed that nobody could be found who even remembered ever having seen it.

Eventually in Glens Falls a rare engraving by created in 1825 by a French artist, was found in the possession of C.H. Sherman of Bay Street and it is currently on exhibition in the department store window of B.B. Fowler in Glens Falls.

The bridge in the sketch is thought to be the first built over the Hudson River located near where the recent and more modern bridge went down. The Frenchman made a series of early sketches along the Hudson from Hadley south to Newburgh.

This first old wooden bridge was depicted as just wide enough for a team to pass over. It was cheaply constructed, the abutments being made of logs. The structure was evidently a toll bridge, as the toll house can be seen in the middle of the span. The date of its erection isnÍ t common knowledge.

In the old days the banks on both sides of the falls were lined with trees. The present site of the International Paper Co. plant was a forest and there was a large number of trees where Finch, Pruyn & Co.Í s mills now stand. There were only a few houses in the vicinity as seen from the engraving.

A mill, perhaps a saw mill or a grist mill is shown on the South Glens Falls side of the river.

By 1828 the village had no more than 300 or 400 inhabitants.

Toll bridge had role in history

[Note: The story of the later South Glens Falls bridge (1890-1913), collapsing into the river after being battered by high water and floating logs, was told in the March 23, 2013 Adirondack Journal. More information must have been

eventually found about the first toll bridge, as history books published later say it was built in 1804 by Warren Ferriss and lasted until 1833 when a new bridge was built for the benefit of the general public. In 1834 Harriet Martineau, a lady from Britain, toured the area and later wrote, ñ There is a long bridge over the roaring floods which vibrates incessantly and clusters of saw-mills deform the scene.î ]

Much against her parents wishes, Princess Bernice Pauahi Paki, a member of the Hawaiian royal family, became CharlesÍ wife. They had a child, Keolaokalani Davis. Bernice Bishop, 53, died in 1884.

Mrs. W.F. Allen, CharlesÍ niece, left Warrensburgh to live in Hawaii at his invitation and sent back many artifacts to be displayed at the RichardsÍ Library and they are still there today.

The first Glens Falls bridge had a remarkable connection to Warrensburgh. Three years before the ñ Frenchmanî executed his engraving of the bridge in 1825, Samuel Bishop worked in the toll booth on the bridge in the middle of the Hudson River, possibly for Warren Ferriss.

It was in that booth that his wife, Maria Reed Bishop gave birth on Jan. 25, 1822 to their son, Charles Reed Bishop. Maria died two weeks later. Samuel died when his son was four.

Around 1826 Charles came to the frontier village of Warrensburgh, a village at that time only 13 years old, to live with his grandfather Bishop who had a 125-acre farm. Today this farm would have been in reality in the North Caldwell area, part of which would have been on the late Col. Ben Guiles property south of town. Charles worked on the farm tending animals and he allegedly attended school in Warrensburgh, but this also could possibly have been across from the old North Caldwell Cemetery. He was eventually hired in the village as a clerk at the mercantile company of Nelson J. Warren, the only child of James Warren, the villageÍ s presumed namesake.

William Little Lee also did well in the islands — he practiced law and became a chief justice of Hawaii as well as founding private property rights „ but he died in 1857 when he was only 36 years old. His body was shipped home and his impressive monument now stands in the Fort Edward cemetery.

Charles Reed Bishop, a dynamic hard worker, achieved fame in Hawaii as a key founder of educational, banking and historic institutions.

He also was an influential politician and philanthropist. Bishop died June 7, 1914, at the age of 93 in San Francisco. His body was shipped back to Hawaii to be buried there beside his Hawaiian wife.)

Charles Reed BishopÍ s close friend was William Little Lee of Hudson Falls, whose sister, Eliza Lee had married CharlesÍ uncle, Linus Bishop. Charles convinced William that the way for them to make their fortune was to journey to the Oregon territory, the land of new opportunity „ and they took ship and sailed on Feb. 23, 1846. After sailing “around the horn” of South America, the ship stopped in Honolulu to take on provisions and the young adventurers were so taken with the Hawaiian Islands that they journeyed no farther.

Over the fence

While driving through Thurman on April 9, I experienced my first seasonal sighting of three Great Blue Herons, plus I saw an Osprey at the pond on Glen-Athol Road. This sighting was just two days before the freak mixed-bag of precipitation we received on April 10 and 11.

Lady escapes tyrant

News has been received from Hartzell, Colo. of the divorce of Viva Harrington, a country schoolteacher and Ralph M. Harrington, a wealthy rancher. It is alleged that soon after their marriage he threw her on the floor and held her until she admitted he was boss. Then he forced flypaper into her mouth to close it.

She was granted a divorce and alimony after telling her story to a judge.

Big log jam in the Hudson

The largest jam of logs ever known by river men in the Hudson River has been lodged, the week of April 24, 1913, between Thurman and Stony Creek. The jam extends up the river four and a half miles, a solid mass of spruce pulp logs. Great difficulty is being experienced in breaking it up.

(Note: The controlled movement down the Hudson and Schroon rivers of masses of single logs began in the Adirondacks as early as 1813.

Occasionally such a pile-up had to be dynamited but usually seasoned log drivers preferred

Charred body found in ruins

William Merrill, for many years a prominent businessman and leading citizen of the little hamlet of Bakers Mills in the town of Johnsburgh, was burned to death shortly after 1 a.m.

April 8, 1913, in a fire that destroyed his store and residence and the nearby barn. Mrs. Merrill and her nephew, Edgar Cole, asleep in the upper story, barely escaped with their lives.

Mr. Merrill had been sleeping for some time in the store and it was there the fire started. It is believed to have caught from a lantern the man was carrying about the building during the night while he was intoxicated. Rumors of arson and suicide are discredited.

Man dies sitting in a chair

Joseph LaFlure, 73, one of the best and most widely-known lumbermen in northern New York died the night of March 27, 1913 while seated in a chair in his home in Chestertown.

He was talking with his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Kittenbach, when he suddenly threw up his hands and fell backwards dead.

He was born in Canada in 1840 and had lived in Chester for 32 years where he had established for himself an enviable reputation as a businessman.

Man’s sleep disturbed

When a small blaze in a coal vault beneath the New York City house occupied by General Daniel Sickles filled the place with smoke and drove three other families into the street, the general became peevish when he was aroused by the firemen. He went back to bed and told the firefighters they could notify him if the blaze got any worse. Informed that the house was full of smoke, he said, ñ What do I care, I donÍ t want to be disturbed at this hour of the morning. If the flames come up into the house, you can notify me then.î Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden atjhadden1@nycap. rr.com or 623-2210.

During her 100th birthday celebration Saturday, April 13, Charlotte (Pasco) Rumble Wood shared sentiments and memories with family members including grandson Larry DeLoria (left), Joni Rumble Elifritz (rear) and Cindy Lamb (daughter).

Charlotte Wood from page 1

ñ I was a tomboy,î Charlotte said, recalling how she enjoyed fishing and hunting with family members „ both as a youth and an adult.

As a teenager, Charlotte lived temporarily in Warrensburgh „ she worked for room and board in town „ to attend Warrensburgh High School for a year, but returned to Johnsburg to finish up her education.

In her teens, she worked as a clerk for her father, Algie Pasco, in his butcher shop in North Creek.

Rachael Ray from page 1

Lake Luzerne, Rachael grinned.

“The Harvest is always my first stop,” she said. ñ IÍ ve been going there for the same pizza since I was 12, and I still get the same pizza „ only now I get to sit at the bar and feel like a big kid!î She continued that her other favorite local food-related destinations include the Lake George Bakery, Montcalm Restaurant and Ridge Terrace. ñ But I like to cook at home when IÍ m home,î she laughed. ñ Maybe IÍ ll even get my mom to cook for me!î Rachael said that despite her fame and influence stemming from her Manhattan-based television show, she is happiest here in the Adirondacks. ñ ItÍ s home and nothing feels better!î she said. ñ My favorite part is coming along Route 9 past the Great Escape and catching my first glimpse of those mountains.î Rachael Ray said Aug. 12 that although she was staying for a week „ her version of spring break „ she has the food schedule for her minivacation planned to a ñ T,î including dinners like spinach lasagna and chicken fries. ñ IÍ m always comfortable cooking „ They donÍ t make me, I like it,î she said. ñ I love going out and meeting new people, but what IÍ ve

Soon after her graduation from Johnsburgh High School in 1932, she met Otis Rumble at MaxamÍ s Boarding House on Garnet Lake. At the time, he was a construction worker, in a crew building a road through Johnsburgh.

The two were married a matter of months after CharlotteÍ s graduation from high school.

The couple had three children: Patricia, John Algie and Cindy „ all born at home.

Prior to CindyÍ s birth in 1943, Charlotte and Otis Rumble moved to Warrensburgh. After she was born, Dr. Bibbe of North Creek told her not to have any more kids because it was ñ too far to travel from North Creek,î Cindy recalled this week.

In the 1950s, Charlotte worked at the Empire Shirt Factory on located on River St. in Warrensburg „ now where Lizzie Keays Restaurant is located. That job was followed by employment at the Embassy Shirt Factory in Glens Falls „ in the building on Broad St. that was enlarged and converted several years ago into The Mill apartment complex.

Otis Rumble died in 1960, and 10 years later, Charlotte married Ernie Wood at the age of 57.

CharlotteÍ s daughter Cindy Lamb, with whom she now lives in Warrensburg, said this week that Charlotte spent her adult years tending to others. She has 13 grandchildren, about 31 great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great grandchildren, Lamb said. î Most of my momÍ s life, she took care of family members,î she said. ñ And she loved every minute of it.î After sharing memories with people attending her 100th birthday party, Charlotte shared the source of her longevity.

“Take each day as it comes — and enjoy it,” she said with a smile.

learned is that people are just people.”

She said that her shows, whether broadcast nationally or held in Lake George, represent more than just cooking instructions.

“A cut of fish or a chicken breast is just that: a cut of fish or a chicken breast,” she said. “It’s really about the storytelling. I like to make meals that people feel they could easily make themselves at home.î While Rachael RayÍ s shows have featured such stars as President Bill Clinton, Julie Andrews, Clay Aiken, and Michael J. Fox, sheÍ s also hosted ordinary people „ welcoming them with similar cheerfulness, attention and charm. ñ Our goal is to make famous people forget that their famous and make viewers feel like theyÍ re part of the program,î she said. Rachael added that she continues to be inspired by her mother, late grandfather, and such chefs as Julia Child and actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

Along with the release of her new book, ñ My Year In Meals,î Rachael said she plans to continue writing her popular line of cookbooks, including two with her husband John Cusimano.

She said she also plans to continue „ ñ Knock on wood!” she jokes — with the seventh season of her daily talk/cooking show.

SheÍ ll also be concentrating on the second season of ñ Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity CookOff,î a Food Network series with Rachael Ray and fellow television chef Guy Fieri mentoring two teams of celebrities, she said.

“It’s my most intense project yet,” she said.

Tax breaks from page 1

granted a 25 percent exemption the first year, followed by a 10 percent exemption the following three years, and 5 percent the next three years.

The new expanded exemption was initiated by Lake George Mayor Robert Blais. He said April 15 that Glens Falls Economic & Community Development Director Ed Bartholomew told him that a similar tax break in the city had spurred considerable upgrades to downtown Glens Falls.

The proposed ordinance is subject to a public hearing at 6 p.m.

May 20.

Townhouse initiative defeated

Another proposal to boost development in Lake George Village didnÍ t garner the support April 15 that the tax exemption did.

An initiative to allow townhouses in R-1 residential zones in town was defeated by a 3-2 split vote.

Trustees John Root and Ray Perry who supported the change said that the initiative would encourage more young families to move into the village „ which would boost year-round activity and commerce as well as enhance the local quality of life.

But Blais raised concerns that allowing townhouses might worsen an existing problem with property owners renting their homes out on a weekly basis, which is now not permitted „ but is difficult to enforce.

Trustee Joe Mastrodomenico cast the decisive dissenting vote, noting that he was not necessarily against the measure, but sought time to examine what areas in the village would be most suitable for townhouses. He joined Blais and Deputy Mayor John Earl in defeating the townhouse proposal.

In other business, the village trustees:

• approved an additional curb cut for a driveway at Lake George Bed & Breakfast to allow its patrons better access. Although the change would displace two parking meters, Blais said they could be relocated to retain the revenue. The cost of $1,000 in materials is to be born by the venueÍ s proprietors.

• heard that the old railroad station across from the steel pier and owned by the Lake George Steamboat Co. has been named to the National Historic Register.

• approved a contract for fire protection in 2014 that represents a modest decrease from the current year.

• were informed that the Beach Road reconstruction work was progressing. Curb construction on the lake side of the roadway Offering a selection of...

Fire Sweeps Pottersville

Eight buildings were destroyed by fire in Pottersville Sunday evening April 7, including H.P. Brace’s general store, Mrs. Dora Locke’s residence and barn, Byron Prosser’s store building and barn, the Post Office building owned by S.R. Pritchard, the residences of Miss Ida Dunn and Elmer Russell and Fred Lavery’s saw mill. The loss is estimated at $70,000.

The fire started from a defective chimney in the Brace store at 5 o’clock and fanned by a strong wind spread with great rapidity, attacking the various buildings in its path and in a remarkably short time reducing them to piles of smoldering ruins. For a time it seemed as though the little hamlet must be completely wiped out and only a favorable change in the wind prevented this disaster.

The Wells House, a large frame building and the only hotel in the place, was saved only by severe exertions on the part of the fire fighters. Rugs were spread over the side of the building nearest the fire and kept constantly wet. Twice the clapboards ignited but watchful volunteers succeeded in promptly extinguishing the blaze. Masonic Hall, adjoining the hotel, also caught fire twice but was saved by prompt action. The windows of this building were cracked and broken by the heat.

The furniture was carried out of the hotel and other buildings in the path of the fire. Much of it was of course ruined but the greater part was saved. When the fire was at its height the flames leaped 100 feet into the air and sparks were carried a quarter of a mile.

A new masonry wall built where West Brook runs under Beach Road and empties into Lake George has prompted complaints from some local residents about its height — and how views of the lake might be blocked. The walled stream corridor is part of the Beach Road reconstruction project that is now under way. Curb construction on the lake side of the roadway is to be completed this week, and construction of sidewalks is planned for next week. Paving of the road, with innovative permeable pavement, is to begin in about two weeks.

is to be completed this week, and construction of sidewalks is planned for next week. Paving of the road, with innovative permeable pavement, is to begin in about two weeks. Blais said he was receiving a lot of complaints from Lake George residents

about the trees being cut along lower West Brook „ and that the height of the new stonework where West Brook runs under Beach Road was excessive and would be blocking views.

By that time it is about 12:30 a.m. The students tell me often how appreciative they are that I am there to help them through their stress.

Intent of zoning group compromised?

To the Editor: I was a member of the Lake George Village Zoning Steering Committee, tasked with recommending zoning changes. I am now compelled to express my opinion on what happened during that process.

A committee of nine members was appointed by Mayor Blais and the Village Board. It included two Village Board members, three from the zoning board, two from the planning board, one from the Lake George town board, and one citizen. It didnÍ t take long before it was obvious that something was amiss!

Dave Kenny, the developer for a proposed six-story hotel was continually vocal at meetings and “selling” his proposed project.

It was quite obvious that certain committee members were very supportive of the proposed project. I complained to the Mayor about this.

We received a letter from the Mayor stating that he had instructed the developer to stop addressing the committee.

The committee composition, especially concerning the two elected village Trustees, was questioned and Mayor Blais along with the committee members, received a memorandum on Dec 5, 2012 from Village Planning and Zoning Counsel Mark Schachner.

In part, this memo stated ñ While such attendance and/or participation is not unlawful, it is generally considered more appropriate for elected officials to not attend or participate in these types of meetings.î It also stated ñ ƒ to the extent that a committee meeting includes discussion ƒ of a particular application for a particular property, participation in this sort of discussion

by Planning Board or ZBA members could create a troublesome ethical issueƒ î The committee met on Dec. 11. In a stunning move, the chairman wrapped up the short meeting saying enough information had been gathered, he would write it up to present to the Board, and called an end to the committee.

It was always the intent of the committee to exclude properties on the lake side. Much has changed since then.

school because they believe that a healthy child should have time for family and friends. In this country, we are talking about extending the school day.

Our teen suicide rate is at frightening levels, but theirs is among the lowest in the world.

In Sweden, they teach no ABCÍ s or numbers counting until children are six years old. Instead, they promote socialization skills, self-esteem building, and nature activities. By the age of ten, their children score higher on every testable subject than ours in the U.S.. Yet in this country we are talking about a fullday pre-kindergarten, presumably to enhance academic skills.

Why must we demean a childÍ s inherent need for play in younger years and to grow through socialization as teens? Why are we more concerned (obsessed?) with our young people acquiring academic skills at an earlier age, then we are with their emotional well-being?

I invite parents to comment on my forum at: www.groups.yahoo.com/group/myteenisincrisisandsoami/.

It is only through unity that we can stop this insanity „ the ridiculous race to educate that we have recently embraced. I may use some of your comments anonymously at my talk in May, to which you are all invited. My presentation is to be held at the Crandall auditorium May 8, from 6 to 8 PM and is titled “We are Destroying our Youth.î We will talk about advocating for your child, building stronger communication between parent and child, and much more.

The following week there will be a parent workshop „ I will provide details on that event at the presentation.

There is power in unity, and unity is something government often fears.

Searching for spring

A

fter waiting and watching for the backwoods ponds to shed winterÍ s hard cap, I couldnÍ t take it anymore.

Two full weeks had passed since the Opening Day of trout season and I’d finally had enough.

So, I loaded up a boat, packed the usual gear including rods, net, PFD, and a fishing vest bulging with a pile of my finest flies, lies and lures.

I also tossed in a pair of snowshoes in for good measure, before setting off to find open water. As I traveled north from home, I noticed that Lake Flower in the village of Saranac Lake had shed most of its ice cover.

However, I also knew that the shallow lake has a steady current, as it is formed by an impoundment on the Saranac River.

On the opposite side of the village, I stopped to check Lake Colby which holds a generous population of browns and rainbows, as well as landlocked salmon. To my dismay, the lake was nearly completely covered with ice that was firm enough to support skaters.

There was however, one small opening where a small stream enters from a nearby marsh.

There was hardly enough open water to float a boat, so it remained on the cartop racks.

Following a few futile casts, it was obvious nothing was interested in what I had to offer.

So, I packed up the gear and headed further north toward Lake Clear.

Lake Clear has an expansive western exposure, which often provides the strong winds necessary to break up the ice pack. But, as I strolled to the lakeshore from the parking lot, it was obvious the winds werenÍ t working so well this year.

Although there was enough of an opening near the inlet to float a boat, I knew the depth of the open water was more conducive to wading than boating. There was no evidence of any smelt in the brook, and no tracks of predators on the sandy shore.

If smelt were around, they would attract salmon and browns, as well as heron, gulls, eagles and osprey. However, there were no threetoed tracks in the mud or the sand.

However, I still took a couple of dozen compulsory casts, and I even tossed out a bobber with a worm dangling below in an effort to attract any type of finned creature. It was to no avail.

My next stop was a short distance further north, to the St. Regis Lakes. As I had expected, the large lakes were sealed tighter than a drum with ice that offered evidence of recent snowmobile traffic. I hit a few of the inlets just for the sake of practicing my casting abilities, and to ensure the due diligence of my scouting mission.

The region’s significant snowpack discouraged me from bothering to journey into any of the ponds in the locale, although I did make a brief stop at Black Pond on Keese Mill Road, where I discovered that even the small outlet pond was as of yet, firmly covered.

I did get to wet a line in the St. Regis River, which is directly across the road from Black PondÍ s parking area. In yearÍ s past, IÍ ve taken a few small brookies below the outlet dam, but not this year. After losing one good lure to a tree branch, and another to a snag, I decided the location was just too expensive for my meager tacklebox and I moved on.

Similar stops continued as I headed west towards Tupper Lake, to visit Bog River Falls.

Along the way I checked out a few waters, including Lake Clear outlet, Follensby Clear Pond outlet, and a few others around the Fish Creek Ponds. Firm ice was all I found, except for a few of the inlets, outlets and the resulting streams.

Winter is really holding its own this year.

However, it was nice to take my boat out for a drive. I also had quite a few folks stop to ask if IÍ d managed to catch anything beyond a cold.

Most of the inquisitors were old friends who had actually stopped to check on my sanity, which was certainly a viable question at that point in the day.

I skipped out on checking any of the usual fishing holes on the way to Tupper, and headed directly to Bog River Falls. The location is a beautiful sight, and in the early season it attracts a variety of fish species including pike, bass, lake trout, salmon and the occasional brook trout.

Due to the shallow waters and the turbulence of the frothing falls, the south end of the lake warms up sooner than the rest of the flow; which often results in active fish. It doesn’t hurt matters much that there is also an annual run of smelt at the falls.

So, I took a couple dozen casts, and a lot of photos before leaving. However, I didnÍ t go home empty handed this time.

As I climbed the steep bank away from the falls, I was nearly clobbered by a large branch from a birch tree that was blown down by the stiff winds. The branch landed nearby and it

www.adirondackjournal.com

was dangling with ornaments like a redneck Christmas tree. I discovered nearly a dozen lures and spoons tangled up in the mess, including several, brand new jointed Rapalas, a few spinner baits and several Daredevils. IÍ ve lost my share of flies and lures to the trees over the years, so it was nice to get a few back.

In the future, IÍ ll pay more attention to the surrounding canopy before I set off. IÍ m more likely to replenish my tackle box than catch fish.

After a long day of searching for fish, I finally turned toward home. It was late in the afternoon when I got back, and I was still anxious to land the fist trout of the season. So, I skidded the canoe over the snow in my backyard and plopped it in the stream.

With a paddle in one hand and a flyrod in the other, I set off in search of brookies. I tossed everything at them, short of a stick of dynamite, and I never raised a single fish.

However, I did manage to greet an angry beaver at the entrance to his lodge, and I jumped several pairs of mallards that were resting in the cover of the shallows.

Even though the trout failed to cooperate, it was good to be out on the stream. It was a chance to be reacquainted with the spring woods and waters. I expect the tables will soon turn in favor of the angler, and for now IÍ m willing to take my licks, nicks and kicks. ThatÍ s the way I figure it.

Woman’s Fly Fishing Seminar

Over the years’ I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with many competent flyfishemen. However, there have also been many women among the flyfisher ‘men’, I’ve accompanied.

IÍ ve always believed women pick up the sport more easily than men, and I far prefer to instruct them. Women are better listeners, and they tend to accomplish tasks like casts, by learning the proper techniques rather than ï bullingÍ their way through it.

Women are also better listeners and are willing to ask questions when they donÍ t understand. Most importantly, they usually havenÍ t developed the bad habit of attempting to accomplish a cast by ï throwing the footballÍ .

Women are more willing to allow the rod to do the work for them, whereas men often attempt to ‘throw the long bomb” with a flyrod, which is a recipe for failure.

There is now an opportunity for women interested in learning the sport, to get some solid hands-on training. The Lake Champlain Chapter of Trout Unlimited will be sponsoring a twoday fly- fishing seminar for women June 22nd and 23rd on the Saranac River in Plattsburgh.

Program Coordinator Janice Opal explained, ñ This seminar is geared exclusively for women looking to begin or improve their fly-fishing skills. It will cover instruction from beginner to advanced stages of fly-fishing, fly fishing tips and tactics, and hands-on instruction pertaining to Lake Champlain tributary-style fishing, which can also be applied to many other streams, creeks and rivers.î Opal said the seminar will take place in a relaxed atmosphere where participants will learn how stream entomology applies to tying flies that fish species eat, beginner fly-tying, and how to rig and make casts using traditional fly rods and reels.

The deadline to register is June 8. Registration is $50. Participants must be age 18 or older and must have a current New York State fishing license. The seminar is limited to 12 participants. The seminar will be held rain or shine.

Participants should dress for the weather and bring bug repellant and sun block as needed.

Some equipment will be available at the seminar, including rods and reels, but those who have a good, working fly rod set-up should bring it.

Trout Unlimited is reaching out to women anglers this year offering a one year introductory membership. As part of this seminar, all participants will become members of TU. More information will be available at the seminar.

Classes will be at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 22, at the Conservation Building on the Clinton County Fairgrounds in Plattsburgh, and at 8 a.m. Sunday June 23 For more information or to pre-register contact Janice Opal at: jopal@charter.net .

Fire and ash S

pring is here and the woodstoves will be going into the summer mode. They will be shut down and cleaned out, semi-retired for the season. Wood ash will be shoveled out and put into ash buckets and dumped over the bank, along with the winterÍ s worth of cleanings, probably 5 to 10 buckets worth.

Whoa, letÍ s backtrack in time, and reevaluate what we have here. Wood ash is not a waste product. Wood ash is a valuable natural resource, from a renewable resource „ trees! This so called waste product has many uses.

First let’s look at where it came from, and then we will figBy Rich Redman ure out where it should go.

A tree starts out as a seedling, and then grows to a sapling, then to a small tree or pole timber, then to a saw log, and finally to old age, unless Mr. Stihl or Mr. Husqvarna decide to intervene, and turn the tree into a log for boards or for fire wood. Culling out damaged, diseased or inferior species of trees for firewood or other wood products are sound forestry and silvicultural practices and should be encouraged, not frowned upon. Try to leave a few dead trees per acre for cavity nesting birds.

As a tree grows, the nutrients and water in the soil are taken in by the root hairs and transported throughout the tree. Nutrients and minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and other trace minerals are taken in through the roots, which also support the tree. Much of what is taken up depends on what is in the soil. Rich soils versus nutrient poor soils make a difference in the quality of the tree, type of tree and nutrients in the tree. Some trees like aspen (popple) are higher in calcium, while others have different ratios of minerals in them.

OK, we have looked at the roots. Now, what about the leaves? The leaves are involved in the greatest wonder of the ecological world; photosynthesis. This stuff is very cool. Without this process, there would be no vegetation on earth. We would not exist. The earth would be a dead rock floating around in space. (Some scientists will call me out on this and say there would be some slime mold or something weird like that that would grow, but hey, IÍ m trying to keep it simple). Photosynthesis is the process where solar energy is converted to chemical energy. Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are used to produce glucose, oxygen and water. The chemical reaction is 6CO two, 12H two O plus sunlight ---converts to C two H twelve O six and 6 O two and 6H two O. Which means carbon dioxide and water plus sunlight converts in the leaf to glucose (sugar) with oxygen and water given off. Solar energy is being converted to chemical energy.

The minerals and nutrients along with the glucose and water combined with the biological process of cell division and all the other wonders of growth make a tree, shrub, flower, alfalfa, green bean, corn plant and grass plant that feeds wildlife, dairy cows and grass-fed beef. This stuff is the real deal, not science fiction.

So, you had your dry firewood (clean wood, no paint or wood preservatives) stacked up.

You’ve handled it 3, 4 or 5 times now and it’s finally made it to the stove. The final heating cycle you get from the wood is when you burn it. Now you ask, what is the burning process?

Living things are made of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen along with all the minerals that we got from the roots and the glucose from the leaves. When wood gets hot it, the chemical bonds of the cells and structure of the wood start breaking down and they releases gases; hydrogen is one of them. This process is called pyrolysis. The released gases, burn due to the addition of oxygen from the air. Parts of the wood like sap and resins have greater deposits of glucose which is a volatile compound, making it very flammable. The carbon and minerals are resistant to burning. ThatÍ s what your ash is composed of, the left over products of combustion that didnÍ t burn, carbon (charcoal) and minerals, which added together we call ASH. Depending upon the temperature in the woodstove, more or less of the carbon compounds get burned off. The high temperatures due to increased oxygen, burn off more carbon leaving only minerals. Now you know what ash is! So what do you do with it?

Ash is used as a soil amendment to increase the pH of the soil. You can add all of those minerals that the roots took in over the years and spread them around the yard for growing grass, trees, and in your garden. Check out gardening books and see what the pH should be for the plants you are growing. You donÍ t want to try growing acid loving plants like blueberries in neutral, alkaline soils. Most of the recommendations IÍ ve seen, say about 10 pounds of ash per 1,000 square feet to start with. Ash has potassium and potash in it, but no nitrogen, which is burned off.

Common sense says; make sure the fire in the coals and ash is completely out before you use it. Sadly, common sense doesn’t prevail anymore so I must resay it. Make sure the fire is completely out before you use it. As a firefighter I don’t really want to make another house call at 3 a.m. Been there, done it! Stay up wind when you spread the ash, you donÍ t want to breathe it in.

Wood ash is used instead of salt on the walkways and driveways to add traction during icy weather. You can use it for traction in the barn. Mix it in with manure when you spread to add minerals to the soil and it can be sprinkled on plants as an insect repellent. Mixed in with compost you get excellent nutrient rich fertilizer to spread around all those apple trees you released and pruned during the winter. Spread wood ash out on that new food plot seeding you did during the frost thaw period. Feed the plants, feed the wildlife! Over the years wood ash has also been used to make soap, and as a mild abrasive for polishing metals. And you thought it was just something to dump over the bank. This is simple recycling of nutrients. We are all part of natureÍ s circle of life. Our food comes from the earth.

I also have my thoughts about spreading it on stream-banks and ponds to slowly dissolve in the water to help in pH and add minerals for bugs, which feed fish of course. I can’t advise you to do this due to NYS DEC regulations. A permit may be required. Ash may be considered a waste product. So don’t do it without checking with DEC first. You are on your own on this one.

T i baseball team eyes continued dominance

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga High School baseball is like a run away train. The Sentinels just keep winning and winning and winning.

Ti will be shooting for its ninth straight Section VII Class C championship this spring.

There’s no reason to think the Sentinel won’t win another title, especially since last season’s runner-up — Moriah — has moved to Class D in 2013.

Ticonderoga has five starters returning from a year ago when the club posted a 14-8 record and won the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Division II title. Ti advanced to the state tournament, winning a first round game before being eliminated.

Returning are Miles Austin, Tanner Wright, Ty Denno, Aaron Bush, Jordan Woods and An-

thony Costello.

“We will be led by seniors Miles Austin and Tanner Wright,” Coach Dan Dorsett said.

“Both were named league all-stars and to the all-state team.

Miles is a fouryear starter and Tanner a three-year starter on the varsity.

Jordan Woods is also a three-

April 20, 2013

year starter.”

Austin hit .451 and had 19 runs batted in to pace the Sentinels last spring.

He’ll by joined on the infield by Denno, Mark Donohue, Michael Graney, Ryan Trudeau and Blake Gautreau.

The outfield will feature Woods, Wright, Costello, Anthony Dushane, Jesse Wilson and Jarryn Granger.

Wright, who was Ti’s top hurler a year ago, returns to the mound. He’s joined on the hill by Denno, Graney, Trudeau and Granger.

Bush and David Bevins will handle the catching duties.

“We must play solid defense and buy into the concept of the team and we hope to be competitive in every game,” Dorsett said.

Helping Dorsett in the dugout will be assistant coaches Rick McClintock and Scott Nephew.

Lady Sentinels feature newcomers Youth to be served on Ti track team

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Young athletes will have an opportunity to shine on the Ticonderoga girls track team this spring.

The Sentinels will field a 15-member squad with 11 rookies.

“We have four girls returning from last year’s team,” Coach Walt Throne said. “Certainly we have no expectation, but we are optimistic based on what we have seen so far in practice.

“Lack of experience and numbers will be our greatest weakness, with a team made up of four experienced athletes and 11 first time athletes — 8 who did indoor track,” he said. “We have a lot of holes to fill.”

The Sentinels posted a 3-4 record in 2012.

Leading Ti this season will be Naomi Forkas, a state cham-

pionship race qualifier in cross Sentinel schedule country and indoor track.

Forkas will be joined in the April 20....CVAC distance races by Rebecca BarPre-Season Invitational ber, Ashlynn LaPerle and Liz April 23....at Lake Placid Aranquiz. All ran cross counMay 2........at Peru try for the locals.

TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga softball just keeps rolling along.

The Sentinels will look to defend their Champlain Valley Athletic Conference and Section VII Class C championships this spring with a strong group of returning players.

Leading the way will be a veteran battery.

Kylie Austin and Jordan McKee, two of the area’s top pitchers, return for the Sentinels along with their catcher Katie Palandrani.

The infield figures to be solid with Meg Campney, Lexi Moore, Jaelyn Granger and Taylor Dorsett returning to join rookie Maura Jebb.

Campney led the club last season with 21 runs batted in.

Andrea Rich, who led the Sentinels with a .513 batting average last year, returns to the outfield. She’s joined by newcomers Logan Mars, Sadie Hamel and Jenette Coon.

“This year we return two experienced pitchers along with a catcher,” said Shelly Young, who co-coaches the team with Shannon Huntington.

Kylie Austin returns as part of a strong Ticonderoga pitching staff.

Sentinel thinclads appear strong this season Ti has 19 track athletes returning

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga’s boys track team will again battle for Champlain Valley Athletic Conference and Section VII honors this spring.

Coach Walt Thorne’s thinclads were 6-1 in 2012 and return 19 athletes this season — including Jay Hebert, the most successful Sentinel track athlete ever.

Hebert of Ticonderoga finished eighth in the 60-meter hurdles at the New Balance Indoor Track & Field National Championships March 10 in New York City.

The Ticonderoga High School hurdler also won a pair of state titles at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association indoor track championships March 2.

Hebert was clocked in 7.31 seconds in the state championship race (55 meters) at Cornell University, setting a new personal and Section VII record. In fact, he broke his own section and school records in both the preliminary and semifinal rounds.

The win gave Hebert both the NYSPHAA and Federation

championships. The NYSPHAA includes all the state’s public schools while the Federation includes both public and private schools.

Since finishing third at the 2012 state indoor meet, Hebert’s only loses have come in national championship meets.

He won the outdoor state and Federation 110-meter hurdle crowns last spring. This winter he won the 55-meter hurdles at the New Balance Games in New York City Jan. 26 and won the Dartmouth Relays Jan. 12. Hebert is the first Section VII athlete to ever win an event at the Dartmouth Relays, according to Thorne.

While Hebert is the headline act, the Sentinels have a deep stable of athletes this spring.

Joining Hebert in the springs and jumps will be James Cook, Matt Cook, Coleman Granger, Justyn Granger, Marcus Moser, Shawn Silliman, Keegan Tierney, Skyler Gilbert, Stephen Bartlett, Tyler Loudermilk and Sean Lawrie.

Bartlett and Tierney will also throw for the Sentinels. Joining them in the shot and discus will be Steven Bussey, Cody Shaner, Zechariah McLaughlin and Taylor Coffin.

Ti will also boast a strong middle and distance corps. Silliman will join Javeed Nazir, Kody Parrott, Ryan Price, Cody O’Hara, John Cook, Martin Glazer, Brandon Charboneau, Milo Thurban and Aaron Russell. most of them ran on Ti’s conference and

“I expect our boys team to Invitational April 23....at Lake Placid be competitive in the section May 2........at Peru this season, Thorne said. “AtMay 7........at Seton titude, team balance with 19 May 9........Saranac returning athletes from last May 14......EKMW year’s outdoor team and six May 16......at Plattsburgh new members will be our May 21......AVCS main strength.

“The distance team will be led by Javeed Nazir, Kody Quigley, Shawn Silliman, Ryan Price, who had a very good indoor season,” he added. “Our sprinters will be led by Jay Hebert, state champion in the 55-meter hurdles, Coleman Granger, a member of the 4x200-meter state qualifying relay team with emergent eighth grade sprinter Justyn Granger.

“Our throwers, led by senior Steven Bussey along with Cody Shaner and Zack McLaughlin, should provide much needed points in the shot put,” he said.

Assisting Thorne this season with the coaching duties are Phil Knellor, who tutors the throwers, and Michelle Stahl, who will work with distance athletes.

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — This is a season of change for the Moriah baseball team.

The Vikings have an almost entirely new roster and have moved into Class D after reaching the Section VII Class C Tournament championship game a year ago.

“We are a young team,” Coach Casey Nephew said. “Our goal is to improve as the year goes on.”

The Vikings return seven players from the 2012 team that lost to Ticonderoga in section title tilt. Back are Tom Callahan, Dakota Marcotte, Dillon Adkins, Jordan Greenough, Tom Rancour, Christopher Clarke and Billy Petro.

Callahan, Marcotte, Greenough, Rancour and Clarke will all see time on the mound. Callahan will also play second base, Marcotte third base, Greenough the outfield, Rancour first base and Clarke first base and the outfield.

Adkins will roam the outfield and Petro will man shortstop.

New to the club this spring are C.J. Raymond, Austin Allen,

Viking linksters optimistic; young players need to step up

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah golf team has some holes to fill this spring, but the cupboard isn’t bare.

The Vikings lost three of their top scorers — Landon Cross, Carlo Calabrese and Keith Ida — from last season’s 6-4 Champlain Valley Athletic Conference team.

But there’s good news. Three regulars return. Dylan Scozzafava, Derek Brassard and Travis Nephew all played in the Moriah’s top six a year ago and return for

Coach Lynn Galm.

New to the links for Moriah this spring are Wesley Belzer, Ryan Shpur, Cory Daly, Zach Beeman, Kyle Wilson, John Brassard, Nick Rotella, Brandon Hammond, Ryan Munson, Joe Stahl, Samantha Ida and Taylor Whalen.

“This year’s golf team should remain competitive after a 6-4 record last year,” Galm said. “Three positions in the top six will have to be filled due to graduation.

The key to our success will be rounding out the top six with three players that can shoot consistently.”

Schroon Wildcats lack depth this season fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — When the Schroon Lake baseball team steps on the field for its first game of the season, it will be a victory for the Wildcats.

Schroon Lake was nearly forced to cancel the 2013 season because of a lack of players.

After considering options, the ‘Cats will field an 11-man team with three freshmen and an eighth grader.

“This will be a tough year for us only because we lack numbers,” Coach Mike Sharp said. “We return all of our pitchers so that will benefit us. Our returning seniors and juniors will be the backbone of our squad and will help lead us to a competitive season. We look to rebound after a couple of rough seasons.”

Jeffery Armstrong, Joe DeZalia, Nate Wilson and Max Gardner return for their senior seasons. Armstrong will pitch and play first base. DeZalia will pitch and play second. Wilson will split time between second and the outfield. Gardner is a utility player.

Also returning are Eric Paradis, Logan Mitchell and Chris Barror.

Paradis will pitch and play in the outfield. Mitchell will man first base and roam the outfield.

Barror will catch and play in the outfield.

New to the club are Brandon Dugan, Derek DeZalia, Cole Anauo and Braden Hall. Dugan is an outfielder.

DeZalia, Anauo and Hall are utility players, which will give Sharp flexibility with a limited roster.

Panthers look to enjoy the 2013 season

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Could this be a break out season for the Schroon Lake Central School softball team?

Under the eye of Coach Jeff Cutting, the Wildcats have been patiently building their program. Two years ago the ‘Cats won their first sectional playoff game in 20 years. Last season they posted a 4-11 record, but led or were tied later during seven of those loses.

Seven starters that team return in 2013.

“Here in Schroon Lake we are very excited about our potential this softball season,” Cutting said. “We have worked hard to make our program competitive the past several years.

“Our numbers are up from previous years, from 10-11 to 14 players,” the coach said. “This gives us a lot more flexibility and we have many players who can play more than one position at a high level.”

Schroon returns three hurlers this spring.

Miranda DeZalia, Kiana Fiore and Molly Wisser will take the mound again

“As always, it will come down to pitching,” Cutting said. “It’s about throwing strikes and not giving teams extra outs.”

Playing the infield will be DeZore Cleveland, Brooke Wheeler, Dakota Gadway, Joelle Kowalka, Fiore and Wisser.

The outfield will feature Desiree Lanoue, Brianna DeZaila, Chloe McKenna, Destinee McCoy, Tyler Swartout and Miranda DeZalia.

Miranda DeZalia led the Wildcats with a .375 batting average a year ago.

Abigail Wisser and Amanda James will catch.

“I know I can count on my seniors and juniors and so far the sophomores have looked outstanding in practice,” Cutting said.

“They have experienced a great deal of success at the modified level with Coach (Lee) Silvernail.

“I look forward to getting these kids into game action,” he concluded.

Youthful Vikings look to improve in 2013

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY — The Moriah softball team will be very young in 2013. The Vikings, who graduated 10 players last spring, return only two seniors.

“It’s a very young group,” Coach Billie Jo Simpson said, “but always willing to learn and improve.”

The Vikings do return four players this season — Taylor Sprague, Lauren Brace, Madison Stahl and Tori Fleury. Sprague played first base last season, but will pitch in 2013. Brace, a Champlain Valley Athletic Conference all star a year ago, will again catch. She’ll also pitch at times and play on the infield. Stahl will man shortstop and Fleury will roam the outfield and play some infield.

“It’s a strong core group of returners,” Simpson said. “ I’m looking for them to provide leadership to a very young team.”

The Vikings will be versatile. Simpson expects at last six players to play multiple positions.

Newcomers to the squad include Sadie Fosco, Christina Lashway, Ashley Shores, Blake Bigelow, Caitlin Pelkey, Kayla Curran,

“We have not been able to get outside to feel out where to put the girls on the field,” Simpson said. “The majority of them played on modified last season.”

Assisting Simpson on the bench will be assistant coach Don Tesar.

Pictured at right: Taylor Sprague will anchor the Moriah pitching staff this season.

Panthers have new softball coach this season Coach Mike Ross retires

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point Central School has dominated Section VII Class D softball for more than a decade. That may well continue, but the Panthers will have to do it without Mike Ross.

Ross, who coached the club the past 14 years, has retired. Taking the reins is his former assistant, Tony Macey.

“I have some big shoes to fill with Mike Ross retiring,” Coach Macey said. “Mike has taken the softball program here to the next level in the last 14 years. I was fortunate enough to coach with Mike for the last three years and learn some of his coaching techniques.”

Ross was kind enough to leave the Panthers with a talented, veteran roster.

“We have high expectations to be at the top of the MVAC (Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference) again this year,” Coach Macey said. “I have seven starters returning this year that will bring experience, confidence and ability forward into this year.

“This is a great group of girls with a lot of talent,” he said. “I am looking forward to what they can accomplish in the 2013 season.”

A year ago Crown Point posted a 15-2 record, winning the MVAC and Section VII Class D titles.

Returning from that club are Alex Macey and Brittany Foote.

Macey was the MVAC Division I Most Valuable Player in 2012,

Warrensburg With strong 2013 start, hopes are high for Burgher baseball

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Two years ago, the Warrensburg High School Boys Baseball team had a lineup of powerful athletes who took their team to the Section II finals, beating several top-seeded teams along the way.

After losing John Joseph, Mike Burgher schedule Curtis and others to graduation, the April 22 Hartford team experienced April 24 @H. Luzerne a rebuilding year April 25 Hudson Falls that had a dreary April 26 Bolton 0-5 start — but the April 29 Whitehall team rebounded, May 1 H. Luzerne finishing off with a May 3 North Warren respectable 9-7 reMay 6 Argyle cord in the AdironMay 7 @Cooperstown dack League and May 8 Lake George 9-9 overall.

May 10 @Corinth This year, the May 13 @Salem team lost no less May 15 Fort Edward than six seniors to

graduation: Lucas Nelson, Tyler Williams, Austin DeMarsh, Jacob Siletti, Gabe MicGlire and Chris Cupp — but the returning veterans have already exhibited their depth of experience.

Topping off the lineup are senior Justin Baird, pitcher and shortstop; plus sophomores Shea Irish, pitcher and third baseman; and Marcus Perrone, shortstop, pitcher and outfield. They are joined by senior Nolan Maltbie as first baseman and pitcher, seniors Jeff Bentham in center field, Beecher Baker on second base, Pep Perrone as catcher, with Will Yarmowich and Joe Brunelle in the outfield. Chris Persons assumes the duties of designated hitter.

Varsity Coach Rex Reynolds, in his 11th year, said this week that the 2013 season holds a lot of promise, adding that Irish “works his tail off,” and that Baird is “gritty,” — and Baird’s attitude is likely

to be adopted by the younger players on the team.

Reynolds said the team focuses on one game at a time, and has been engaged in strength workouts and speed training, which should help not only their base-running, but their defense.

In their opening game April 10, the Burghers beat the ever-powerful Lake George — demonstrating their speed, tough defense and power batting.

“The players are scrambling to get the ball — they want the ball

home base, hit to them,” Reynolds said. “We’re gelling as a team.”

This doesn’t mean the 2013 season is going to be easy, Reynolds warned.

“In the Adirondack League, you have to play your ‘A game’ every night,” he said. “I’m extremely encouraged to see the style of play they’re demonstrating, and if they continue to work hard like this, we’ll be around at the end of the season.”

Senior Justin Baird, pictured above sliding into home base, will return on the mound this year for the Burghers. Baird is a senior.

Experience, talent abound on lady Burgher squad

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Last season represented a formidable challenge for the Warrensburg High School Softball team, following the graduation of a talented group of seniors. The 2012 team spent a year rebuilding — with only one senior competing on the squad.

Now, with those young players having experienced all those rough-and-tumble games against more experienced mature teams, the Burgers are well prepared for solid accomplishments in 2013.

Also, the team is loaded with solid athletes, Burgher schedule many of them competing in three sports.

April 22 Hartford The team’s goals inApril 24 @H. Luzerne clude reversing their April 26 Bolton 2012 record of 5-12, win April 29 Whitehall the Adirondack League May 1 H. Luzerne Western Division, then May 3 North Warren compete in Sectionals — May 6 Argyle they didn’t qualify last May 8 Lake George season.

May 10 @Corinth The Burghers have the May 13 @Salem roster, loaded with athMay 15 Fort Edward leticism, to make these goals a reality.

On the mound will be Mika Morehouse, a Junior, who will be pitching for her third year. She not only has deep experience, she’s got good speed, can place the ball well, and is developing an effective change-up, coach Mary ann Bump said. She’s teamed up with classmate Makayla Baker — and they’re a formidable duo, the coach added.

“Mika is willing to take the role as leader on the team, and that will be a big factor,” Bump said.

Seniors on the team include talented athletes that can win games when the going gets rough. Korynn Raymond is at shortstop; Chiara Russo, first base; Braydin Smith, left field; and Amy Toolan, center field. Besides Morehouse and Baker, juniors feature Merissa Hayes, second base/outfield; Kerrigan Roth, third base; Josie Stone, utility; Whitney Markwica, pitcher/outfield; Nazareth Goucher, outfield; and Kate Morehouse, outfield. They are joined by Sophomore Liz Turner, utility; and Freshman Erin Langworthy, outfield and second base.

Key to success this year will be strong batting, Bump said.

“We are a much more confident hitting team with the additions of Turner, Langworthy and Markwica,” she said. “We are anxious to play games and prove ourselves to ourselves,” she said. “Our theme is ‘Armed and Dangerous’ and we hope to be — both offensively and defensively.”

NORTH WARREN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

43478

CHESTERTOWN — If the girls on the 2013 North Warren softball team need any inspiration, all they need to do is look in their school’s trophy cases and read the press clippings describing the successes of the 2012 Cougar basketball team or the 2010 North Warren Field Hockey Team.

The latter was ranked pre-season as last in the league but fought hard regardless all year long and won a league title —and then battled deep into Sectionals setting new school records. The former soared past expectations when they defeated Perennial favorite Lake George for a League division championship.

For the current North Warren softball

team, coming off a 1-15 season, the challenge ahead is substantial.

Coach Jeremy Whipple, however, is yet hopeful — in the tradition of Cougar teams.

Despite the loss to graduation of inCougar schedule fielders Nicole Parker and Kateryna Strauss and starting pitcher Charissa April 19 Corinth Cronk, the remaining players are taking April 22 Fort Edward on the new season with resolve.

Schenke at shortstop; Robert French, catcher; Colby May, first base; Chris DeFranco, second base; Jacob Hill, center field; Daren Granger, left field; Christiaan Van Nispen, right field; and Ethan Frasier, third base; and Dan Hill, closer.

Key players are Robert Vaisey, Ethan Schenke and Robert French — known as the “Big Three,” not of U.S. golf or basketball, but of northern Warren County baseball.

Humiston said he has high expectations for the talented trio.

“These guys are the key to what we will accomplish this year,” he said, adding that all three pitch, and French has the ability to shut down opponents’ running games. “They are the senior leaders that need to step up and produce like I know they can.”

It’s a new season with new opportunities, Humiston said.

And as proven in the past by other North Warren teams that have blown away expectations, the sky’s the limit.

“We are looking to have a better season, and get back to being competitive every game,” Humiston said.

Talent abounds for Warriors, the reigning AL champions

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — For years, the Lake George High School Baseball Team has been a powerhouse.

Having captured three championship titles in the last five seasons, Lake George has proven the Warrior schedule strength of their baseball program April 22 Argyle — the legendary April 23 @Luzerne Warrior will-to-win, April 24 North Warren the school’s coachApril 26 Luzerne ing expertise, and April 29 @Fort Edward the players’ annual May 1 @North Warren dedication to skill May 2 Corinth development and May 6 @Hartford conditioning.

May 8 @Warrensburg In 2012, the WarMay 10 Bolton rior baseball team May 13 Fort Ann had struggled some May 14 @Glens Falls during the earlier weeks of the season, but rallied at the conclusion to win the Adirondack League title, stunning Fort Ann, which had won 37 straight league games.

Lake George’s campaign continued into the Section II tournament. Seeded no. 5, the gritty Warriors beat No. 1 Greenwich — which had in 2011 competed in the state tourney — in the Class CC semifinals by a convincing score of 9-1 in a fan-pleasing upset victory. Lake George ended up Section II runners-up, however, after a disappointing loss to Cambridge.

From that ultra-talented 2012 Lake George team, two notable se-

niors graduated: Lee McCabe and Peter Fisher — with such a limited loss, the Warriors’ 2013 squad is now loaded with experience.

Key in those 2012 tournament wins was the outstanding pitcher Connor McCoy, a junior, who is 17-1 from 2010 through 2012 with 187 strikeouts. McCoy was recruited by St. Michael’s College, where he will be playing next year.

Also pitching this season for the Warriors will be Charles Barber, who backed up McCoy in 2012. Not only did he have 40 strikeouts last season, but he batted .397. He’ll be pitching or on duty at third base.

The Warriors’ powerful offense goes deeper — consider the athletic Willy Blunt, who’s now entering his fourth season on Varsity.

He batted .449 last season. He’s likely to be in center field for 2013.

Although the roster is a little thin, the players are versatile, talented and determined. Take as an example Craig Keenan, a sophomore that can play in any position. A veteran who has proven his talents, Keenan batted .353 last year. He’s pencilled in at shortstop.

Coach Erik Hoover said this week he’s optimistic, considering the depth of experience his players have, as well as their work ethic and determination.

“This year we are really excited about the number of arms we have to pitch,” he said. “We have a good core of seniors that are hungry for a deep sectional run.”

looking strong so far.”

Anchoring the team will be sophomore Sarah Calzada, serving her third year as varsity catcher.

DePace said Sarah is a smart player, who’s quick to the ball, making a lot of key plays.

“Sarah is dangerous behind the plate,” DePace said, noting that Sarah was drafted for varsity years ago as an eighth grader.

Kim Wright, a junior, is a versatile player with a strong, accurate throw. A good hitter, she’s slated to be lead-off batter and covering second base. She demonstrated her role as an offensive threat in the April 10 game versus North Warren, in which she went 2 for 5 with a double and two RBIs. “Kim is quick and agile, and will be a strong part of our infield,” DePace said.

Abbie Seamans, the team’s sole 8th grader, is already proving her worth to the team. Against North Warren, she was 3 for 6 with 2 RBIs, DePace observed.

“Abbie is a very fast base runner, and she’s versatile,” DePace said, noting that she is now on duty at shortstop, but is also the team’s backup catcher.

Kaitlin Urtz, a sophomore who transfered in from North Warren, is a valuable addition to the team, DePace said, noting she has a strong throw and is stationed at third base.

They’re joined by solid athletes Olivia Clesceri, a junior at first base; senior Sydney LaPan at center field; and ninth graders Caroline Clesceri and Lindsay Markham in right field.

DePace said she had high expectations for the team.

“They’re very hard workers, they’re optimistic and they try hard no matter what,” she said. “The players have a positive attitude, they encourage each other — It’s a very good mix.”

Lady Cougars From page 13

“The transition is going to be a challenge for her but we are looking for big things,” Whipple said.

Sophomore Gabriell Needham, also a pitcher, was drafted into Varsity last year, demonstrated that she was very consistent on the mound and in the field, Whipple said.

“Gabriell should be ready to contribute in a big way after a year of experience under her belt,” he said.

Megan McDonough, a senior outfielder, contributed a lot in 2012, Whipple said.

“We’re looking for Megan to play a key role in our success,” he said.

Joining these four are sophomore catcher Alexandra Newer; pitcher/infielder Gabrielle Vaisey, also a sophomore; senior outfielder Jessica Lylyk; junior outfielder Lexi Pratt, and freshman infielder Courtney Viele. They are backed up by junior fielder Desiree Smith; sophomores Julianna Dewar, outfield; Rickie-Lee Wicks, outfield, and Amanda Braynack, infield/outfield.

Whipple said he has confidence in the progress his team is making toward their goals of becoming more competitive.

“This year’s outlook is positive,” he said. “We’ve filled the gaps pretty well and are looking for some of the younger players to step up.”

year’s league championship game; Kenzie Baerstchi on either first base or second who Manny said has “a great glove and stretch at first;” Emma Underwood who will put her speed and athleticism to good use in the outfield; and Alyssa Condon with her admirable range as well as speed running the bases.

The strengths of the team are a good mixture of strength and speed, as well as timely hitting, Manny said.

“Our team members play sound fundamental defense behind good pitching,” he said.

“They take advantage of their speed on the base paths.”

In addition, the 2013 Warriors can mix up a bunting game with power hitting, catching their opponents off-guard, Manny said.

“Our team has the ability to play the ‘small ball’ speed game, but we also have some power hitters,” he said. “We’re excited to have this dual-headed attack.”

Manny added that the players are dedicated to their goals, and are looking forward to playing — having fun as well as working with dedication towards divisional and league titles.

“Our team has good chemistry and we’ve got high hopes,” he said.

Minerva • Newcomb MOUNTAINEERS

Mountaineers lack experience this baseball season

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — At first glance, a 16-player roster for the Minerva-Newcomb varsity baseball team sounds impressive, but veteran Coach Ed LaCourse is faced with several challenges this season that could prevent the team from beating its 6-4 record last season.

“It’s a weird season,” said LaCourse, a teacher at Newcomb Central School. “I have no idea where we’re going to end up this year.”

The first question mark is the group of six international students. They’ve never played baseball before.

“It’s more of a challenge Mountaineer schedule for me because when April 19 @ Elizabethtown you’re coachApril 20 Chazy @ Minerva ing at the varApril 22 @ Long Lake sity level and April 24 Wells @ Minerva you end up April 29 @ Keene having to deal May 1 @ Schroon Lake with some May 3 Westport @ Newcomb of the most May 8 @ Johnsburg basic skills May 10 @ Crown Point that are usuMay 13 Indian Lakeally done at Long Lake @ Newcomb Little League May 15 @ Wells level, it kind May 20 Keene @ Newcomb of slows things down at times,” LaCourse said. “I’ve decided they’re just going to have to basically come along with whatever gifts they have.”

That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Last year, for example, the team was fortunate to have one player from Brazil who caught on quickly and ended up being an All-Star caliber player. And there are currently a few international students who have the potential to be good ball players.

“They’ve never played, but they’ve got the athletic ability and they are coming along at an accelerated rate,” LaCourse said.

One standout could be Bryton Chikukwa, of Zimbabwe, who has played on the Mountaineers’ soccer and basketball teams this year.

“I’ve never seen a kid hit a ball so hard in my entire life,” LaCourse said about Chikukwa. “He’s never hit a baseball in his entire life, but he hits it like he’s Hank Aaron.”

Hitting a ball in a batting cage is one thing; hitting during a game situation is another.

“He’s never been in a game situation and faced a pitcher,” LaCourse said. “It’s just a big question mark whether he’ll pan out or not. He could be a monster hitter. The kids don’t even

Andrew Sponable, who pitched for Johnsburg last season, will take the mound for the Mountaineers in 2013. want to get out there when he’s hitting because he’s just cremating it.”

Another challenge this year has been the weather, with snow on the ball field late in the season. Coach LaCourse was hoping to teach the inexperienced players the baseball fundamentals on the diamond, but their inability to go outside and practice on the field “has just destroyed those plans,” he said. The weather also forced the cancellation of four scrimmages.

There’s only such much the team can do inside. Last week, LaCourse was desperate for a change and decided the team needed some fresh air.

“I had them out in the snow yesterday with boots on,” LaCourse said Thursday, April 11. “I got pretty desperate. I hit them fly balls in the snow.”

If the Mountaineers are going to make a move anytime in the next few years, this is the season, and LaCourse is hoping his four returning seniors will lead the way with their solid hitting and defense: Austin Williams, Wesley LaBar, Tyler Clickner and Justin Viele.

One bright addition to the team is Andrew Sponable, a Newcomb Central School sophomore who played for the Jaguars in 2012.

“He pitched well for Johnsburg last year, and this year he’s bigger and stronger,” LaCourse said. “I was a pitcher, so I’ve been able to work with him. He looks very good.”

The pitching rotation also includes seniors Wesley LaBar and Austin Williams.

Here is the roster for the 2013 Mountaineers: sophomores Andrew Sponable, Mickey Johnson, Steven Viele, Dustin Saville and Elias Ahrens; juniors Jorge Bertomeau, Borja Martinez, Alex Ruzbacki, Jacob Galusha and Marco Silvo; and seniors Tyler Clickner, Austin Williams, Wesley LaBar, Justin Viele, Xian Zhou and Bryton Chikukwa.

The Mountaineers were expected to open their season at home against Johnsburg on Wednesday, April 17 and had games scheduled for Friday, April 19 in Elizabethtown and Saturday, April 20 at home against Chazy.

McGinn — who is the highway superintendent for the town of Minerva — returns as the Lady Mountaineers coach and hopes the team comes close to last year’s record of 12-3.

“We’ll be fairly strong,” McGinn said. “We lost four big-time seniors, but we have a nice crew coming back … I expect to be

This is Farr’s first year of coaching, ever, but he’s no stranger to the ball field.

“I have umpired for the Southern Adirondacks for eight-plus years,” he said.

In his spare time, Farr works for the Long Lake Central School District, so he’s already familiar with many of the softball players.

“I know the kids,” Farr said. “I drive the school bus part time for Long Lake, so I got to know the team pretty good, and when

they were looking Orange schedule for a coach I decided to put my name in.”

April 22 Argyle Like other local April 23 @Luzerne softball and baseball April 24 North Warren coaches, Farr has April 26 Luzerne had to deal with the April 29 @Fort Edward fickle spring weather May 1 @North Warren this year.

May 2 Corinth “We’ve just been May 6 @Hartford practicing inside May 8 @Warrensburg and doing what we May 10 Bolton can do inside,” Farr May 13 Fort Ann said. “We have a hitMay 14 @Glens Falls ting cage in the Long Lake gym, so we’ve been using that, but it’s a lot different when you get outside.”

Luckily, as of Sunday, April 14, the field in Long Lake was snowfree.

“It’s a little soft, but we can still practice outside on it,” Farr said.

One of the main strengths for the Lady Orange this year is experience. The team didn’t lose one player to graduation in 2012 because there weren’t any seniors on the team last year. But 10 of the 11 players this year came back to play for the Lady Orange in 2013.

Only freshman Madelyn Penrose is new to the rotation.

“They all hit pretty strong so far,” Farr said. “We’ve only been outside twice, so it’s kind of hard to tell.”

The leader of the pack — for pitching and hitting — is Emma Gray, who will be backed up on the mound by Madison Miller.

“I think we can be very competitive in this league,” Farr said.

Here is the roster for the 2013 Lady Orange: seniors Emma Gray (P), Jessica Bain (OF), Meg Smith (OF), Emily Waters (2B) and Prudence Dechene (OF); juniors Shannon Farrell (3B), Rayna Hamdan (C), Jazmin Piraino (IF), and Shaneka Burch (1B); sophomore Madison Miller (SS); and freshman Madelyn Penrose (OF).

Jaguars face a rebuilding year in baseball

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — After losing longtime varsity baseball coach Tim Leach at the end of the 2012 season, Johnsburg Jaguar fans are putting their faith in first-time coach Ryan Carpenter, who took over Leach’s teaching job at the beginning of the school year.

“I am excited to be a first year varsity coach,” Carpenter said.

“I actually remember reading the article in the Post-Star last year about Tim Leach retiring, and he said that the kids were looking for someone difJaguar schedule ferent — a new spark. I have April 18 @ Minerva-Newcomb been trying to April 19 @ Westport give them that April 24 Indian Lake-Long Lake spark. I have April 26 Elizabethtown been trying to April 29 @ Wells instill a hard May 6 Keene work ethic in May 8 Minerva-Newcomb the kids, and so May 10 @ Chazy far, I think they May 13 @ Old Forge are responding May 15 @ Indian Lakepretty well. I Long Lake am just hoping May 16 Crown Point it pays off and May 20 Wells makes for a successful season.”

Overall, the Jaguars will field a young team with many of the 15 players returning from last year: seniors Ethan Cooper, Nick Porter, Kaleb Persons and Chet Prouty; juniors Kyle LaBounty, James Ordway and Dylan Moore; and sophomore Dillon Bradway.

“There will be a lot of underclassmen in the starting lineup,” Carpenter said. “Plenty of players with speed and athleticism that can contribute to the success of the team.”

Five players were lost due to graduation: Dustin Weller, John Gahan, Liam Harrison, Taylor Ordway and Chris Scott.

Only Porter remains from last year’s five-man pitching rotation. With Weller, Harrison and Taylor Ordway gone — plus sophomore Andrew Sponable, who now plays for the MinervaNewcomb Mountaineers — the Jaguars lost four pitchers.

Players to watch are freshmen Mark Cleveland and Ty Berg and sophomore Nate Prouty. Cleveland will replace Dustin Weller behind the plate.

“These are three young players with speed and athleticism that will be key contributors to the pitching rotation and top part of the lineup,” Carpenter said.

Here is the starting lineup for the 2013 Jaguars: Ethan Cooper (OF), Nate Prouty (IF), Mark Cleveland (C), Kyle LaBounty (IF), Ty Berg (IF), Dylan Moore (IF), Aidan Connelly (OF), James Ordway (DH) and Moses Mulvey (OF).

Rounding out the roster are seniors Nick Porter, Zach Watson, Kaleb Persons and Chet Prouty; sophomores Brandon Tyrel, Shawn Nevins and Dillon Bradway; and freshman Josh Donohue.

The Jaguars were expected to open their season at Minerva on Wednesday, April 17 and had a game scheduled for Friday, April 19 in Westport.

Lady Jaguars return seven this season

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Johnsburg Central School teacher Phil Goodman returns for his 16th year as the coach of the Lady Jaguars varsity softball team.

The team lost five seniors to graduation in 2012: Rachael Dunkley, Sierra Galusha, Ashley Hitchcock, Michelle Merrithew, and Meghan Sponable.

However, seven players are returning from last year’s roster.

“Our starting lineup should be comparable to last season, but we have a great deal more depth with solid players coming off of the bench,” Goodman said.

Courtney Allard returns to the mound this year as the starting pitcher.

“Allard should continue to be a good pitcher for us, but we have several more girls who could potentially give us productive innings as well,” Goodman said. “The beginning of our order should be solid, and we hope the bottom will contribute more as they gain experience. Our infield should be good, and the outfield should improve if we ever are able to get outside where we can practice some fly balls and positioning.”

ers, I feel we should be very competitive in our division this year,” Olbert said. “Wells should offer the stiffest competition within our division and out of division Chazy and Crown Point will be difficult to beat.”

Eight of the 14 players on the Orange roster will be returning this year: seniors Collin Farrell (P/SS), Matt Moore (P/3B), Kyle Douglas (C), Arthur Jennings (OF) and Taylor Wells (OF); junior Shane Short (OF/C); and sophomores Henry Sandiford (P/SS) and Curtis Seaman (2B).

Six players are new: seniors Kyle McMurty (1B), Chaitin Giessen (1B/OF) and Vinnie Smith (OF); junior Robert Miller (OF); and sophomores Lance Gocke (OF) and Joey DeShaw (IF/ OF).

“Returning our No. 1 pitcher from last season, Colin Farrell, will be key to our success,” Olbert said. “If he pitches well this year he will be hard to beat. Henry Sandiford and Matt Moore will also be in the rotation or come in relief. Newcomer Kyle

Orange will fi eld an experienced team in 2013 andy@denpubs.com LONG LAKE — Long Lake Central School teacher David Olbert returns to coach the Orange varsity baseball team this year in the hope of winning the division again and improving on the team’s 9-4 record.

The Orange could have a good shot at it; they lost only two seniors to graduation in 2012: first baseman Kevin Boya and center fielder Sam Miller.

right in the hunt.”

The team saw the following seniors graduate in 2012: Amanda Bellotti, Renna Yandon, Tara Galusha and Marlena Peter.

This year, the Lady Mountaineers look strong on pitching, hitting and speed. Juniors Gabrielle McNally and Dakota Bennett return for their third year as starters. Sophomore

Makenzie Winslow will also be a standout, as will sophomore Mary LaBar and seniors Ashley Miller and Shelby Hogan.

Hogan is the team’s main pitcher and will be backed up by freshmen Cheyenne Williams and Danielle McNally.

The international students have no softball experience, but there’s an upside.

“They’re much better at softball than they were in basketball,” McGinn said.

Although this is her first year, Williams could very well be the team’s best hitter.

“But it’s hard to be the best hitter on this team,” McGinn said. “There are a lot of decent ball players on this team.”

Here is the roster for the 2013 Lady Mountaineers: Dakota Bennett (shortstop), Makenzie Winslow (3B), Shelby Hogan (P/1B), Cheyenne Williams (1B/P), Gabrielle McNally (LF), Mary LaBar (2B), Ashley Miller (CF), sophomore Angela McCall (C/RF) and Danielle McNally (RF/C/P).
