‘Realignment’ of LG schools’ administration to go forward
WCS teacher Io Bruce recalled as nurturing, inspiring, enthusiastic
By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
LAKE GEORGE | A realignment of Lake George Central Schools’ administration developed primarily by Superintendent of Schools Lynne Rutnik — a transformation that she says will better address the needs of students and boost curriculum coordination — is to be accomplished by this fall. The major changes call for the reassignment of administrative duties to existing school district personnel as well as establishing a new dean of students position. This realignment also calls for establishing a wellness room: a comfortable, inviting and safe place where students could go before, during and after school and de-stress, enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and re-focus, according to Rutnik. On May 7, Rutnik presented a group of about 45 interested citizens, school alumni and teachers with a 25-page “Draft Transition Plan” document at a meeting dubbed as a “Community Conversation.” The plan described how administrative duties would be refined and redistributed T~~among ~ about a dozen existing school employees. The transition, she said, embodies an effort to meet new state mandates, focus more intently on boosting student success, and create an even closer relationship with students than the school district is renowned for. The changes are also envisioned to provide greater outreach to students to nurture their social and emotional well-being.

WARRENSBURG | A Warrensburg High School teacher beloved by hundreds of area residents for nurturing, challenging and mentoring students through their teenage years died last week — and people of all ages shared their memories of her as they grieved. Students, parents and community members were shocked when Io Tebbutt Bruce was suddenly stricken with a ruptured brain aneurysm and hospitalized May 25. She died May 30 at Albany Medical Center with her family members at her side. Io Bruce began teaching at Warrensburg High school in 1995, and for 24 years taught U.S. history, while her husband, Matthew Bruce, whom she married in 1988, taught global studies in back-to-back classrooms. » Bruce Cont. on pg. 7

Bones are to be returned to Lake George; summer 2020 re-interment envisioned By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
Bucket by bucket, workers from the New York State Museum and volunteer archaeologists shovel and sift dirt adjacent to an apartment development off Courtland Street in Lake George. Their mission is to uncover additional bones or artifacts at the site where remains of about 15 people from the 1770s were unearthed in mid-February. Photo by Thom Randall
LAKE GEORGE | For about two weeks, a group of professional and volunteer archaeologists have been sifting through many tons of dirt excavated from a construction site in Lake George Village where 18th century human
bones were unearthed in late winter — and this subsequent dig has yielded additional human remains, a village official said this week. In early February, bones were unearthed during excavation of a foundation for the construction of one of two triplex apartment buildings near the intersection of Courtland and Mohican streets in Lake George Village. Th is discovery prompted archaeologists of the New York State Museum to conduct an archaeological excavation at the site, in which skeletal remains of about 15 or so humans believed to be from the 1770s were uncovered. Also, two buttons were found that bore markings indicating they were from clothing issued to soldiers of the First Battalion of Pennsylvania. » Bones Cont. on pg. 3
Donors, foundations praised at Charles Wood Park dedication
LAKE GEORGE | A park adjacent to Lake George that has been acclaimed for its innovative ecological functions was hailed May 29 at its grand opening ceremony — for its cultural and social benefits as well as for boosting the lake’s water quality. The philanthropists who donated toward the development of the Charles R. Wood Environmental Park and Festival Commons received prominent praise,
alongside the public officials, environmentalists and community leaders who lobbied for it to be created. The southern half of the park, developed on the site of the former Gaslight Village amusement park, includes a man-made wetlands that purifies stormwater before it reaches Lake George. The northern 12.5 acres was transformed into the Lake George Festival Commons, which hosts concerts and other events that draw thousands of people annually to Lake George. » Park Cont. on pg. 8
At the grand opening celebration of the Charles R. Wood Environmental Park and Festival Commons on May 29, Lake George Mayor Bob Blais describes the lengthy history of the park’s development, while praising the various foundations, families and philanthropists who donated to the project to make it a reality.
