Biomass in Chester may serve as demo
This Week BUSINESS

CHESTERTOWN Ñ Despite delays in funding, the project to convert the Chester Municipal Center to biomass heating is moving ahead, town supervisor Fred Monroe told municipal officials this week. Officials from the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority and their engineers were at the municipal center, examining the heating system, gathering information so they could develop preliminary design criteria for a biomass heating system theyÕ d provide funds for, Monroe said Nov. 18. NYSERDA officials seek to have the expansive Chester Municipal Center serve as statewide demonstration project, showcasing high-efficiency biomass heating in a governmental building, Monroe said. Monroe said that the NYSERDA representatives were seeking to evaluate the heating requirements of the building Ñ and how the stateÕ s existing engineering prerequisites for state funding might be adjusted to accommodate biomass fuel for an existing steam heating system.

HOMER Ñ The Bolton-Warrensburg girls soccer team’s 2014 season, which set new records for both schools — came to an end Saturday Nov. 15 as they lost a Class D state championship semifinal game 0-4 to Arkport Central, a team with substantial experience in state-tournament play. The frigid battle was waged on a field that was
covered in snow for the first two-thirds of the game. The game was held at Homer High School near Cortland, NY. Bolton-Warrensburg girls soccer coach Patrick Morency didn’t blame the weather, however. “Both teams practiced on a snow-covered field,” he said moments after the loss. Ò We struggled technically, whether it was ball control connecting on passes or exploiting the spac-
es,” he added, noting that the soccer ball skids over snowy surfaces. The ball control and score was even until midway through the first half when Arkport’s Korin Kilbury scored the first goal. Not long after, Bolton-Warrensburg standout Olivia Seamans was sidelined due to a cramp in her leg. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
