By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Downtown Warrensburg will be immersed in the holiday spirit of bygone eras this weekend as dozens of activities of the annual Christmas in Warrensburgh festival are held.

Scheduled for Friday Dec. 4 through Sunday Dec. 6, the event harkens back to rural mountain-town holiday traditions, featuring an array of activities through town.

Santa will be holding court from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday with a lunch break from noon to 1 p.m. Santa’s reindeer will be on site from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The craft sessions include gingerbread house decorating, miniature watercolor and Origami crafting, old-time wooden toy making, and fashioning of evergreen Christmas decorations. New this year are sessions for children to create winter collages from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.. Live acoustic music will be present-

ed by local youth, including the elementary chorus.

On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the festival’s indoor holiday market will be held in the town Senior Center at 3754 Main St. The market features artisans as well as locally sourced food products, crafting demonstrations, and local authors signing their books, many of them with Adirondack themes.

The market will feature live baroque music from eons ago by Courtly Music from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The town’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony is to be held at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Floyd Bennett Bandstand, an event that includes Santa and caroling; plus music by the Warrensburg Elementary School Band, decorating by local Girl Scouts, as well as hot

New technology helps road salting in Lake George

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — As the first blast of cold air led many local highway crews onto the roads for the first salting of the season, state of the art technology has made its way into Town of Lake George highway trucks in time for the first snowfall, enabling crews to control the amount and speed of salt distribution.

The equipment, called Dickey-john Control Point System, was purchased by the Lake George Association and Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District at a cost of $6,000 per unit. A 2014 report developed by Beth Gilles, assistant director of the Lake Champlain-Lake George Regional Planning Board, and Lake George Association staff, indicated the need for such equipment.

runoff and pollution from sources other than industrial or agricultural sites,” said C. Walter Lender, LGA executive director, in a press release. “One of those sources is salt applied to roads in the winter. We all want clear and safe roads, and we must balance that need with the concern about how winter road maintenance practices are affecting Lake George. This purchase is the next step in addressing those concerns.”

Joe Pete Wilson honored with re-opening of trail NORTH RIVER — A group of 40 avid skiers gathered at Garnet Hill and Nordic Center to celebrate the re-opening of Joe Pete’s Run over the weekend, with 1960 Nordic Olympian, Joe Pete Wilson on hand as part of the festivities.

The trail, named after Wilson, was build about 30 years ago. Several years have passed since a bridge outage forced the abandonment of the trail. A recent bridge replacement and trail upgrade, readied the bridge “for skiers to experience its challenges and rewards once again,” said center owner Mindy Piper in a press release.

“Joe Pete’s Run is great for skiers who want a more challenging trail that is great fun at the same time. There are spectacular views of the high peaks from the top portion and many interesting turns and dips as the skier descends.”

Guests were also able to take advantage of season passes at early season rates and free chili, coffee and hot chocolate, said Piper.

The facility is a four season resort offering authentic Adirondack lodging, fine dining and a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities and experiences for friends, families and groups. More information can be found at www.garnet-hill.com.

John Kindred honored

WARRENSBURG — Warrensburg Central School District senior, John Kindred was honored and surprised as he was awarded the prestigious Black Lion Award Wednesday, Nov. 18.

Mr. Kindred was nominated by football coaches Michael Leonbruno and Patrick Gormley. Mr. Kindred was presented with a framed certificate and Black Lion patch. The Black Lion Award is unique in that its format is not an “MVP” type award. It is only awarded to players that personify team play and best exemplify the character of Major Don Holleder, for whom the award is named for. These characteristics include leadership, courage, devotion to duty, self-sacrifice, and above all an unselfish concern for the team before self. Mr. Kindred’s grandmother, Nancy Kindred, was also in attendance for the special occasion.

Mr. Kindred said, “It is a great honor to be chosen to receive this award.” Coach Leonbruno stated “Several faculty and students have commented to him how excited they are for Mr. Kindred and cannot think of a more deserving recipient.

There is definitely energy a lot of positive energy throughout the school.”

Former heroin addict describes to WCS students the perils of drug use

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — Joshua Burns — a heroin addict now in recovery —looked out over his audience of 300-or-so Warrensburg Junior and Senior High School students and uttered a solemn warning.

His path into addiction to heroin and painkillers, he said, started at age 13 or so with drinking beer and smoking pot — to be part of the crowd, to be accepted — and ended up with the hellish reality of pain, crime, and destruction of what he valued in life.

This descent into addiction began with casual use of “recreational” drugs which led to hard drugs and abuse of painkillers, he said, describing his 15-year battle with addiction.

“You’ll lie and steal for drugs, you’ll become someone you’re not,” he warned in this talk presented Nov. 20 to all Warrensburg students ages 12 to 18 in an effort to stem drug abuse and addiction.

“I withdrew in jail, by myself, on the floor in pain, defecating, puking and sweating — that was the reality of drug addiction,” he continued, describing his eventual withdrawal from drugs, about four years ago in his mid-20s.

The Warrensburg students listened intently as Burns recounted his journey through life, which started off with supportive, loving family members and a fun childhood.

In junior high school, Burns was a threesport athlete and a good student with varied interests including art, he said.

“Then in high school, like a lot of other kids, I started drinking beer and smoking pot — thinking it was the fun, cool thing to do,” he said. “It was easy to go along with it and ‘fit in.’ I wanted to be accepted, be liked, and be part of the crowd. I had what I thought at the time was fun.”

The plunge into harder drugs and desperation began soon after, he said.

“My grades slipped, I quit sports and other

Susan Roberts-McManus of Glens Falls Hospital’s Center for Recovery talks to Warrensburg Junior and Senior High School students about how recovery from drug addiction is a lifelong journey in a drug abuse prevention presentation Nov. 20. She accompanied Joshua Burns, a recovering drug addict who told the students about his own experiences with the perils of drug use, and how to avoid the destructive path to addiction.

activities,” he continued. “I made poor decisions during that time — I didn’t see then how it would affect me in the future.”

Burns said that he ended up being arrested for DWI when he was 16 and 18, and was apprehended “many times” for marijuana possession.

Burns ended up in jail at age 15 and 18, and submitted to drug and alcohol rehabilitation

several times in his late teens to avoid stints in prison.

Temporarily, his life straightened out, he said.

“I cut down on the crazy stuff, I met a girl, got married at 22, stopped drinking a lot, stopped smoking pot, I went back to school, and held down a job,” he said.

But at age 25, a doctor prescribed pain-

killers for his back and leg pain, and Burns abused them. Before long, he was shooting up heroin, and his life descended into evermore-desperate addiction.

The destructive lifestyle of drug use and addiction prompted his divorce, loss of his house, his vehicles and his job, he said. His addiction also drove him to steal valuables from his loved ones so he could buy ever >> Story Continued | pg. 5

more drugs to sustain his habit.

After his hellish drug withdrawal in jail, Burns was offered the choice of prison or Warren County Treatment Court, he said.

“I took the opportunity, and it gave me framework to turn my life around,” he said. “Now I want to help people like the counselors helped me.”

Burns looked at the young students who listened intently.

“I want you guys to understand that drinking beer and smoking pot was the easiest way to ‘fit in.’ But I didn’t realize the repercussions, the potential outcome in my life,” he said. “I want you guys to think about these things, and make healthy decisions for your lives and your future — and watch out for each other and your family members.”

In a question and answer session that followed, Burns was asked what specific steps he could have taken to avoid his descent into drug addiction.

Burns replied that he wished he’d stayed involved in sports and other rewarding, fulfilling activities.

“Get involved in sports, the arts, associating with positive people and groups,” he said. “If you hang out with losers, you’ll be a loser too. Hang out with winners, people who are making good decisions.”

Susan Roberts-McManus, Director of Glens Falls Hospital’s Center for Recovery program, backed up Burns on the panel, alongside Allison Reynolds with the area Council for Prevention.

Roberts-McManus advised the students to reach out to their peers and family members who might be drifting towards various addictions.

“Anyone at any age can become addicted,” she said. “You might be the person who’s able to help.”

www.suncommunitynews.com

Students cheer Burns’ recovery Asked about his recovery, Burns said that while he was once estranged from his family members, he has now reconnected with them — and he now exercises, takes care of his health, plays sports, associates with positive people, and attends church regularly.

He told the students that as of this year, he’s been sober and clean for four years.

His observation prompted loud cheers and lengthy applause from the young students.

Kayla Sweet listened to the joyful noise.

The way the students reacted is very moving,” she said. “It tells about our community and the support we give each other.”

She and Caitlin Vaisey and Jake Johnson ended the session by talking about their school group, Students Against Desructive Decisions, which had sponsored the presentation. Vaisey taled about how SADD can help them resist peer pressure and avoid substance abuse.

Sweet urged the students to join SADD or one of the teams, clubs or music groups.

“Make new friends, try new activities, and become involved,” she said, advising them to bypass drugs and alcohol and pursue positive endeavors.

Vaisey said Burns’ personal story had gripped the students’ attention.

“The presentation was very helpful,” she said. “I’ve heard that a lot of kids our age have struggled with partying and potential addiction,” she said.

Warrensburg High School Principal Doug Duell said Joshua Burns was “very courageous” to offer his life story to area students.

“When kids hear real-life examples, it resonates with them,” he said. “If this helped out even one student today, it was worthwhile.”

ur nation is severely polarized.

That’s certainly nothing new. I’ve written many columns on various aspects of the political polarization over the years that stalls progress and creates great frustration.

Back in 2008 and again in 2012 we all hoped that after those elections Washington would begin taking serious steps toward solving the problems facing the nation or at the very least one side or the other would have enough momentum to assume a leadership role.

Unfortunately our national tug of war persists and gridlock continues to be the strategic choice of both parties, despite claims to the opposite.

The game of chicken continues. We’ve faced the so called fiscal cliff so many times it seems more like a fairy tale than the nightmare it is. We’ve been told by our elected officials, going over the cliff would be so devastating it would force them to address the major issues too radioactive to touch were they not backed into a corner.

Well, so much for the corner! Our leaders quickly went over the cliff this fall without solving anything and here we are today looking no worse the wear on the surface but knowing deep down we’ve done nothing but turn a blind eye to the unresolved debt issues.

As sad as it sounds, as polarized as we are as a nation, doesn’t it sound totally absurd that the only way we can manage our affairs is to ignore them and jump off the forbidden cliff to prove how responsible we are? I was taught at a young age to be responsible for my actions, to make good on my promises and to exceed expectations. These were pretty basic requirements for being an adult. It seems we can’t lower the bar low enough for our government and sadly enough we are passing along the results of this behavior to future generations.

With the national primaries only a few weeks away the polls continue to show an electorate infatuated with unconventional candidates who, despite their missteps and faux pas, continue to appeal to an electorate that is frustrated with Washington and career politicians. I think the hope is that if we break the political mold we can break the political stalemate and get government working

Thanks for an outstanding sports season

T

his, without a doubt, has been the greatest single season of sports in Section VII. Let’s start with the obvious, the section, one of the smallest in student size in the state, brought home two state championship trophies as the Plattsburgh High Hornets claimed the NYSPHSAA Class D boys soccer championship and the Lake Placid Blue Bombers were victorious in the Class D boy’s state cross country meet.

The Hornets knocked off a pair of top-ranked teams on their way to the state title, taking out Shalmont in the regional finals before defeating Skaneateles and East Aurora to claim the title in Middeltown under the direction of first year head coach and former PHS and Plattsburgh State standout Patrick Shaughnessy.

The Bombers placed their top five runners far enough ahead in the field to claim its championship at Monroe-Woodbury High School, a course considered by many insiders to be one of the toughest championship courses in the state. Many believe this team may follow in the footsteps of the last Section VII boys champion, Saranac, whose roster included three future Olympians.

That alone may make this one of the most accomplished seasons in Section VII history, but there’s more.

Along with two championships, the section also boasts a pair of state finalists in the Elizabethtown-Lewis/Westport Griffins’ boys soccer team and the Ticonderoga Sentinel football team.

What may be equally for the Griffins in making it to the state championship game before losing to perennial state power Fort Ann is the path they took to get their. Crown Point presented a tough opening challenge is sectional play, but then the road went straight uphill as the Griffins had to defeat seven-time state champion Chazy at George Brendler Field (a feat never accomplished on Brendler before and not since 2001 in Chazy) and defending Class C champion Northern Adirondack, who they had lost two twice in the regular season.

That was just to get out of their own section! Then they faced a game against Chateaugay for a chance to get to Middletown and a tough Cincinnatus team to earn a shot at Fort Ann. For the Sentinels, the squad continued to amaze with punishing defense and a relentless running attack through the playoffs, scoring a 6-0 overtime victory against Moriah to advance into state play then dominating Tupper

Lake, Whitehall and Tuckahoe respectively, by a total combined score of 1140. Then it was onto the Carrier Dome, where they gave hits which were just as hard as the hits they received, playing a game which was level, 26-26, into the final minute of play.

So there’s four amazing teams right there from a section which usually sends one or less teams to a state competition.

But that’s still not all!

Jonathan Gay and Margaret Champange both finished in the top five in the state cross country meet. The Beekmantown and Chazy girls soccer teams each made it to the regional finals round, one step away from the Final Four in Cortland. Moriah, while falling to Ti in the Class D final, was the premier football team in the 2015 regular season, finishing atop the CVAC with a perfect record.

These are times these players, parents and communities will always remember. It was amazing how many times student-athletes would comment to our reporters how happy they were to, “make their community proud.”

Not only did they make their local community proud, but the section at large. NYSPHSAA President and Willsboro Central School Superintendent Stephen Broadwell said this about the accomplishments of Section VII in the fall sports season: “The 2015 Fall NYSPHSAA Championships have collectively been one of the very most successful years for North Country athletes. Section VII athletes represented the region very well this year at the State level. Despite being one of the smaller sections, our student-athletes can, and do, compete with athletes from much larger sections from around the State.”

And, as we celebrate these teams and the success Section VII has had in the fall season, we also look to February and March, when teams like Moriah boys basketball, a two-time consecutive state semifinalist with a solid core of returning players, have us all hoping there is more to come.

SilverÊ BayÊ YMCAÊ continuesÊ toÊ haveÊ SuccessfulÊ dinnerÊ comesÊ fromÊ greatÊ anÊ impactÊ onÊ community communityÊ efforts To the Editor: Silver Bay YMCA has a long tradition of impacting the community in a positive way. Year to date nearly 200 north country children are among 700 other young people who have benefited from Silver Bay YMCA programs.

The start of the 2015-2016 school year has brought new and returning faces to the continued youth programs provided to the next generation within Ticonderoga, Hague, and other surrounding communities. Over 115 youth are currently participating in healthy, safe, and supportive environments aimed to provide avenues for personal growth and responsible outlets. This past summer brought more than 700 children and teens, including 80 local youth, who enjoyed endless fun and educational experiences through Silver Bay YMCA summer day camp.

Amongst such offerings include the After School program at the Ticonderoga Elementary School, the Youth & Government Program, and the Leaders School Program run within the YMCA Teen Center in Ticonderoga. The Teen Center, now in its fourth year, continues to provide local young people with a consistently safe and welcoming environment dedicated to providing ample opportunities to further one’s passions and education. As described

by Jackie Palandrani, Youth & Teen Director for Silver Bay YMCA, “The Teen Center acts as not just a play area, but more importantly a safe and reliable haven to many kids who otherwise might be left alone to fend for themselves.” Since opening its doors on October 29 in 2012, the Center has received over 800 memberships from local youth, averaging over 40 kids each day.

Silver Bay YMCA is, and always will be, dedicated to providing healthy, inspirational, rejuvenating, and supportive avenues for children, adults, families and the community. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, Silver Bay nurtures the potential of every youth and teen, improves family ties, and strengthens one’s inner self. In essence, all are welcome to pursue the act of renewing, rejuvenating, and nurturing their spirit, mind, and body.

In addition, Silver Bay YMCA continues to provide respite to active military personnel, cancer survivors, clergy members, and struggling families with quality and energizing time with their loved ones. Over 650 such individuals and families members have gained lifelong memories and respite through Silver Bay YMCA doors this year alone. Through partnerships with such noteworthy organizations such as the CR Woods Foundation at Glens Falls Hospital, Silver Bay YMCA is able to come alone side so many local individuals and families in need.

We here at Silver Bay are so thankful for serving the local youth and our community as it brings us much joy and fulfillment. We wish you and your family the same happiness this holiday season.

Please visit silverbayymca.org to learn more and/or to give your support to Silver Bay and the community.

CompetentÊ emergencyÊ roomÊ medicalÊ staff Ê savedÊ myÊ husband To the Editor: A few days ago my husband had a medical emergency and went to the Elizabethtown Community Hospital Emergency Room. The competent medical staff quickly assessed our needs and performed a battery of tests, the results of which were relayed to the Emergency Room at CVPH. (With modern technology vital information can be transmitted quickly from one hospital to another). It was determined that transport to CVPH was necessary to perform a medical procedure.

The transport was handled very smoothly.

We want to thank the Elizabethtown Emergency Room Staff for their efficient, professional and compassionate care. It was comforting to know that we were receiving the best care possible and we feel so fortunate to have this facility so close by.

Thanks to everyone involved in helping to ease our concerns during this stressful situation.

BullyingÊ programsÊ wasteÊ taxÊ payerÊ money To the Editor: Hello readers this letter to the editor is to talk about high school bullying, cyber bullying as well people. Readers I am getting sick and tired of the out right waste of taxpayers dollars being used on programs that do not work at all, like the one at Minerva Central School that took place Tuesday, Nov. 17.

“A change of heart” is a prime example of how are taxpayer dollars is being wasted on programs like that, that do not work because you can not have a healthy dialogue and expect to turn this around here come on now.

People, schools like Minerva Central School and many others have school boards that only put band aids on this bigger issue here and it is time to go after this and end high school bullying and cyber bullying once and for all people by giving the schools broader powers including putting kids into a military shock program and also force the parents to pay for medical bills and for the pain and suffering there kids have done people and that’s how you are going to end bullying once and for all instead of this wasteful spending like Minerva Central School board did and others as well.

Christopher “Hawk eye “ Bennett Minerva Central School alumni, Olmstedville

To the Editor: When so much of our attention and news is centered on financial despair, innuendo and aspersion; arguably created by greed and misconduct, I believe that a little good news goes a long way during this season of Joy and Hope.

I’d like to acknowledge the intent, effort, and the success of this years Holiday Meal in the community of Crown Point.

Conceived with a desire to provide a place of fellowship for those who are alone or without the financial ability to enjoy a Traditional Meal, virtually all agencies in the Crown Point area came together to offer, if only for a short time, a place and time of respite for those who might benefit and feel welcomed.

Accordingly, on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 25, this small community joined hands to ensure that all who attended were filled in spirit and body by the time they left.

The meal, consisting of Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, peas, squash, rolls and homemade apple, cream and pumpkin pies was served at the United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall in Crown Point from 4:30 to 7 p.m. There was no cost for this community meal!

The meal is a collaborative between and the faith communities of Sacred Heart/St. Patricks Churches, Crown Point United Methodist and the First Congregational Churches. We are grateful to Debro’s On The Way Café, Gunnison’s Orchard, A & S Custom, Crown Point Telephone, Crown Point Citgo, Haps, Village Auto, Crown Point Teachers Association, The Post Office Team, Champlain National Bank, Bodettes’ BarBQue, Torri’s Hair Dresser, the Knapp Club, Avery Energy, CPCS, The Hammond Library, as well as many individual members of the Crown Point area who joined with us to make this a true community time of fellowship and thanks giving. Where possible, the meal will be served with locally grown and prepared items; We are gratefully looking for staff to help us ensure the success of our Community Meal.

Volunteers from local churches and the community hosted this year’s community event. No one was paid!! Generous donations were made by local “friends.” These funds helped us to purchase many of the incidentals.

Our gratitude goes to many additional members of the Crown Point area who joined with us to make this a true community time of joy and fellowship.

This was a “total” community effort that brought together people and resources to ensure true fellowship and a “Traditional” hot meal for those who might not have one, here in Crown Point. We served approximately 140 meals, including in-house and deliveries to those who were unable to join us.

I want to personally thank Yvonne Dushane, Charmaine LaFountain, and Lorraine Turgeon. These women from each of our faith communities, provided the leadership and support to ensure a blessed event!

It is my prayer that as the months go by, this meal will serve as a point of pride and accomplishment not only for the community of Crown Point but for others who will look for ways to share in the ability to build a stronger, caring community. “Together.” What a wonderful word and what a wonderful way to share. Mr. Editor, I am proud to be part of this true expression of hope exercised in this small community!! Thank you to all!

Rev. David C. Hirtle Pastor, First Congregational Church Crown Point

ThankÊ youÊ forÊ savingÊ myÊ cottage To the Editor: We are writing to give our heartfelt thank you to the fire departments of North Hudson, Schroon Lake, and Chilson, who responded quickly early Monday morning Nov. 16, to my cottage that was on fire. I cannot praise them enough for risking their own lives to put out the fire, and preventing it from spreading further. Also for the dedication of these men and women for helping others in need with no monetary return. Thank you again.

once again for the people.

I fear that’s a risky gamble but it shows how desperate many are becoming.

With the world in turmoil, a frustrated electorate at home, a government that is paralyzed by in-fighting, and a national media that no longer serves as the nation’s watchdog, the nation’s voters must figure out a way to put aside its partisan interests and make a critical decision in the best interest of the entire nation, if not the world.

The nation has always found a way to select the right leader at the right time. Our system of government and the American people will once again be put to the test as designed by our nation’s founders to cut through the bragging and over-stated, unrealistic promises to make a choice in 2016. Let us hope we make the right choice and set the nation on a new course to prosperity and peace.

ow cold was it? It was so cold our words froze in mid-air and we had to go inside and thaw them in a frying pan. You’ve heard that one, right? How many more “cold” jokes do you know?

I spent much of my childhood in the tiny northern New York community of Massena Center. Old folks like me remember some frigid winters in the mid to late 1940s. Day after day of minus 30 degrees were not uncommon and jokes about it were spawned. I have heard many since then.

They resurfaced last Monday morning, November 30, as we were greeted with temperatures in the lower teens. Not zero yet, but we knew that would be coming. Amazing, because we had just enjoyed 64 degrees right after Thanksgiving and had no appreciable snow on our Morrisonville lawn.

The jokes that came to mind are mostly mindless, but so am I. I asked Kaye for input as she washed my underwear. The topic wasn’t necessarily titillating for her, but she responded: “We didn’t pay much attention to the cold as kids in Saranac Lake. We just bundled up and went outside to play.”

She also recalled that our kids here in Morrisonville would go sliding and skating in the frigid weather and never seemed to mind the cold. Their noses would run and freeze to their cheeks and it didn’t matter. Were we a heartier bunch back then?

We like to think we were. Outdoor play in winter has mostly given way to games on little screens. That makes me sad and a bit nostalgic.

I remember a few of the old cold jokes: It was so cold hitchhikers held up pictures of their thumbs; pickpockets put their hands in other pockets just to keep warm; shops were selling coffee on a stick; we chopped the piano up for firewood, but only got two “chords”; we couldn’t drive our snowmobiles straight because they kept turning south; ambulance people were getting emergency calls for people trapped under too many quilts; politicians actually stopped blowing hot air and put their hands in their own pockets; when we frowned, our faces froze that way. I guess our mothers were right, after all; if you kiss somebody with braces, you might need an operation; the local weatherman threatened to keep it cold until he got a raise in pay; our dogs got stuck to fire hydrants; we caught mice playing hockey in our toilet bowl; If you played outside in the cold and peed your pants, you were stuck that way till the spring thaw.

And, my favorite: I got sick and my mother served me a block of chicken soup. Or, I know the difference between an iceberg and a clothes brush. One can crush a boat and the other can brush a coat.

New coaches drafted for merged WCS-BCS basketball team

By Thom Randall thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The newly combined boys basketball team of Warrensburg and Bolton high schools has an additional benefit beyond a robust roster of players — the squad has two coaches mentoring them towards their goals.

Ryan Volkmann and Mike Perrone, graduates of Bolton Central and Warrensburg High respectively, will be jointly coaching the team this year, following the departure of Bob Hummel.

Both are accomplished athletes.

Ryan Volkmann, 30, an English Language Arts teacher at Bolton Central for five years, has coached the modified basketball at the school for four years.

Volkmann graduated from Bolton Central in 2004 after playing soccer, baseball and basketball throughout high school. During his senior year, his team won a basketball championship, and in his junior year, he and his team won a Sectional title in baseball.

After pursuing studies for two years at North Country Community College — where he played basketball both years — he completed his undergraduate work in Child-

Salting << Continued from | p. 1 In previous winters, stopping the spinning mechanism that distributes salt to the roadway was done manually by the plow driver, turning it off, for example, at a stop sign. With the new system, the driver now controls precisely the amount and rate of speed at which it is delivered.

While the potential for salt reduction is welcome news, Town Highway Superintendent Dan Davis said the equipment opens other doors, too.

“We’re going to try to track our

hood Education at SUNY Plattsburgh where he later received his Masters degree in Literacy.

Volkmann said the merger of the two schools’ basketball programs provided new athletic opportunities for students.

“This merger gives Bolton a Junior Var-

sity team, which is a tremendous step for the school’s basketball program, providing continuity and giving the kids at the JV level the playing time and the athletic development they need,” Volkman said. He praised the athletic directors of both schools for arranging all the details of the team merger. “This offers the students competition with others

usage over the next few years, to see if there are places we can further reduce (salt usage),” he said. Until now, the town hasn’t had such a sophisticated way of monitoring specifics about salt usage.

The nearly 66 miles of town roadways are primarily plowed with three trucks. Two of those vehicles have the new equipment, that work in conjunction with temperature sensors purchased last year by the LGA and Regional Planning Board.

The sensors display the temperature of the roadway in real time.

Because pavement is often warmer than the air – and because the snow

or ice crystals will melt more quickly on warmer roads – the sensors allow truck operators to apply enough material to ensure the snow and ice are melted without over-application.

LGA is partnering with a subcommittee of the Lake George Watershed Coalition on a project hopeful to discover ways for regional DPWs to reduce their salt use.

their age.”

Mike Perrone, who graduated from Warrensburg High in 2010, played varsity basketball at WCS for four years. He also played baseball and football through high school.

Continuing his education at SUNY Adirondack, Perrone played baseball at the community college, being named MVP twice.

He finished off his undergraduate studies at Castleton University in Vermont, where he ended up serving as a defensive coaching assistant in football. He also coached varsity baseball at Proctor High School, Proctor Vt. Perrone, 23, graduated from Castleton in 2014, majoring in Physical Education. He’s currently finishing up his Masters degree in Sports Administration, while seeking out a teaching position in the area.

Perrone’s father Albert Perrone has served for years as an assistant football coach at Warrensburg High.

Perrone said he’s happy with the enthusiasm among students for basketball: 37 students from Warrensburg and Bolton have turned out for the sport this year.

“It’s nice to be back in Warrensburg,” he said. “I want to help rebuild the program — and so far, the co-coaching is going really well — the number of students is amazing.”

Wbg. EMS seeks drivers, paramedics, medical tech trainees

By Thom Randall thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — With the busy lives people now live, fewer have time to volunteer their services on an ambulance squad, Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services Operations Manager Steve Emerson said this week.

Due to this trend, Warrensburg EMS is now seeking more volunteer members, he continued.

Volunteering time to the emergency squad helps others at a time of critical need, and provides volunteers with a profound sense of fulfillment, he said.

“We welcome people from all walks of life who want to help their neighbors — and perhaps launch a professional career in emergency medical services,” he said.

Financial assistance is available for training costs, whether it’s for basic EMT duties or advanced life support expertise.

Emerson and others have noted that there’s a strong camaraderie among EMS volunteers — yet another reason to join the squad.

People can volunteer in a wide variety of ways: as an ambulance driver, first responder, emergency medical technician, paramedic, vehicle mechanic, accountant, custodian, board member, project manager, or a Junior Member. For the latter, one must be at least 16 years old.

Emergency responders and drivers are particularly needed

on weekdays, Emerson said.

Warrensburg EMS is one of the most active squads in the area, responding to 800 to 1,000 calls per year. The squad serves Warrensburg, Thurman and neighboring communities including Diamond Point, North Caldwell and many others during mutual aid calls.

Warrensburg EMS headquarters is located at 3 King St. The squad was formed as an independent non-profit corporation in 1999.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Emerson on his cell phone at 232-0817 or at the squad headquarters at 623-4911 and leave a message.

Also, membership applications are available on the squad’s website at: www.warrensburgems.org The website provides information on the organization as well as photographs of the squad’s many community-related activities.

“Emergency medical services is a very rewarding and fulfilling field to get into,” Emerson concluded.

MINERVA — It is truly that time of year again – it’s early December, and that means that the annual Minerva Christmas Bazaar is ready to go at Minerva Central School.

The day is Friday, Dec. 4, and the time is set for 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will be something for everyone at the Bazaar this year, which is in its 59th year.

The theme of the Christmas Bazaar this year is “Golden Memories,” so there will be plenty of gold-themed goods, decorations, and fashions to be enjoyed.

This year the host of the event is the Minerva Service Organization, and a lot of work has gone into the planning of the Bazaar.

Several planning meetings have taken place involving the MSO and other

participating organizations, including the Minerva Historical Society, the Sleeping Giants Seniors, the Minerva Volunteer Fire Dept. and Rescue Squad, the Minerva Bicentennial Committee, the Veterans Committee, the MCS Alumni Association, 4-H Club, Community Scholarship Fund, Operation Santa Claus, and others.

The gymnasium will be crowded with vendors offering plenty of festive goods, including needlework, crafts, knit goods, decorations, jams, syrups, wreaths and more.

Present will be annual favorites such as the Cozy Café; dinner in the cafeteria; the Cookie Walk; a visit from Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and possibly Santa’s elves; and the lighting of the Christmas tree by Minerva Citizen of the Year David LaBar. Special performances by the North Country Singers, the MCS Select Chorus, and the MCS seventh grade guitar class will also be given.

North Warren girls on winning streak, other area teams debut

By Thom Randall

by Morgan Yarosh with 16 points and 7 rebounds, and Sarah Stewart, a JayVee draftee, with 13. Cate Hill contributed 4 points and Hannah Kenney added 2. Hill and Kenney both tallied three assists apiece.

CHESTERTOWN — North Warren utilized a balanced offensive attack and tenacious defense to defeat HadleyLuzerne 56-29 in their first Adirondack League matchup of 2015-16. The scoring tilt in this season-opening victory fueled their fans and exceeded the expectations of some area sports enthusiasts.

The Cougars’ effective guarding of Hadley-Luzerne’s regional All-Star Reagan Kelley, a hot outside shooter, contained her to 2 three-pointers.

North Warren’s aggressive inside threat Madasyn Bush hit from all over the court, scoring 5 two-point shots, 2 three pointers and 3 free throws to lead her team with 19 points.

She also dominated the boards with her 11 rebounds.

Wowing fans was Junior Varsity draftee Hannah Kenney, who shot from both inside and outside to score 15 points.

A rookie varsity guard — but earlier this year a member of North Warren’s 2014-15 undefeated junior varsity, she hit 3 three-pointers Tuesday night. Morgan Yarosh, a steely inside player, bagged 12 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Guard Cate Hill drove to the basket effectively, scoring six points, as well as demonstrating her generosity with the ball — she tallied 5 assists. Brook French contributed 4 points.

Jaynie Ellis was top scorer for Hadley-Luzerne with 9 points. North Warren’s Junior Varsity beat Corinth 47-21.

In this game, the Cougar’s endurance and persistence was also a factor, as their 16-10 fourth-quarter advantage sealed the victory. Madasyn Bush led both teams with 21 points.

Sarah Stewart contributed 10.

Lake George 53, Warrensburg 30 The girls basketball season opened this week for teams in the Adirondack League, and Lake George won a key contest over Warrensburg — which has had a rough start — while Bolton won its debut game.

Lake George won a showdown with Warrensburg on Tuesday Dec. 1, with the Warriors prevailing 53-30. Lake George’s tenacious defense focused on hot-shooting All-Star Erin Langworthy, containing her to half her average score. The Warriors’ 18-2 third quarter effort put the game out of reach for the Burghers. With the win, Lake George is 1-0 in the league and 1-2 overall.

Warrior Lacy Cormie hit four three pointers and totalled 15 points while the Bennett sisters hit one basket after another — Kenzie led all players with 19 points and Graceann scored 13. Rachel Shambo, Nicole Nolin and Alauna Wright also scored for the Warriors.

Warrensburg, which is now 0-1 in the league and 1-2 overall, was led by Langworthy at 16 points, followed by Britanny Frasier with 9, Starr Hughes and Zoe Morgan 2 apiece and Megan Hughes with one foul shot.

Not all was glum for the Burghers: in the Junior Varsity matchup, Warrensburg defeated Lake George 25-24.

This win for Lake George follows two non-league losses to far larger schools.

Lake George 44, Cohoes 52 On Nov. 28, Cohoes beat Lake George 52-44. In that game, the Bennett sisters were top producers for the Warriors — Mackenzie with 16 points and 13 rebounds and Graceann with 13 points and 15 rebounds.

Warrensburg 58, Fort Ann 28 On Nov. 27, New York State All-Star Erin Lanworthy scored 42 points leading the Burghers in a non-league 58-28 victory over Fort Ann. Langworthy shot from everywhere, hitting 12 from inside, three from beyond the arc and nine foul shots — which attests to how closely Fort Ann tried to shut her down.

Britanny Frasier followed in the tally with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Starr Hughes, Madeline Sheridan and Zoe Morgan scored 2 points each.

Bolton 40, Corinth 31 BOLTON LANDING — Bolton Central Senior forward Madelyn Pratt poured in 20 points for her peers Dec. 1 in Bolton High’s 40-31 victory over Corinth. Pratt, who led her team last season in rebounds, grabbed 12 off the boards in this game which opened their season as well as their league campaign.

Also key in the offensive charge was Erin Courchaine with 9 points and 10 rebounds, Ashley Connery with 5, Marissa Hall with 4 and Caitlyn Speranza adding 2 points, but of more importance, no less than 6 steals which kept the game momentum favoring the Eagles.

Coaches v. Cancer tournament to feature Class D elite Potential match-up of 2014-15 #1, #3 highlights three weeks of games

By Keith Lobdell

keith@suncommunitynews.com

GLENS FALLS — A potential match-up of two of the premier boys basketball teams in Class D could happen Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Glens Falls Civic Center, a potential preview of a NYSPHSAA championships which will be held at the same site in mid-March.

Moriah and New York Mills highlight the field of teams playing in the Glens Falls National Bank’s Coaches v. Cancer basketball festival, starting Friday, Dec. 4, and continuing through Monday, Dec. 21, with a total of 26 high school games.

The main event for the event could take place early on in the tournament, as the Moriah boys varsity team plays Section II’s Granville Dec. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at SUNY Adirondack, while Mills will play in Fort Edward against the Forts at 6 p.m.

A win for each team will set up a rematch of the 2013-14 Class D semifinal between Mills and Moriah, which will take place at the Civic Center at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 5.

Mills defeated the Vikings, eventually winning the Class D title, in 13-14. Mills then lost to the Class D champion Bridgehampton in 2014-15, the team who knocked the Vikings out in the state semifinal round for the second straight year.

“We just want to play anybody who will give us quality competition, and New York Mills will definitely do that,” Moriah head coach Brian Cross said. “I would love to Play New York Mills again, but, we have to get by Granville first so there’s no guarantee we will.”

One Hundred Years Ago – November, 1915 Bridge renders man unconscious George Hitchcock was injured in a runaway accident, in Warrensburgh, just before noon Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1915, when he was thrown from a buggy wagon on the Osborne Bridge and striking the iron guard rail with considerable force made him unconscious for some time. He also suffered a mild concussion of the brain, but his injuries were not considered serious.

Mr. Hitchcock was returning from the north woods in the vicinity of Bakers Mills, where he had been hunting deer for a week. He was going down Osborne Hill, on Elm Street, driving a spirited black mare owned by his employers, T.J. Smith & Son, when the animal became frightened and broke into a run. Turning onto the bridge the wagon struck the guard rail and was overturned, throwing the driver out.

The accident attracted the attention of men in the vicinity and they rushed to the scene to find the injured man lying unconscious on the bridge. He was removed to his home nearby where Dr. Griffin and Dr. A.J. Young attended him.

The wagon was completely demolished and the hysterical horse finally stopped on the summit of Ridge Street hill and was uninjured.

Fire destroys ladies’ home Flames, which broke out at 4:40 o’clock Sunday morning, Nov. 7, 1915 in Miss Laura Raymond’s double house on King Street, Warrensburgh, badly damaged the structure and destroyed the greater part of the furniture in the apartments occupied by Miss Raymond and her mother on one side and Mr. and Mrs. William Condon on the other.

The fire started in the Condon side, probably from an overheated stove or defective chimney. As quickly as possible hose was procured from the Adirondack Hotel barn (currently Rite Aid location) and from the Shirt factory (currently Lizzie Keays Restaurant) and two lines were strung from a hydrant on Main Street. Most of the structure was left standing after the fire was extinguished. (Note – In 1921 William Condon became the first chief of the Warrensburgh Fire Company.)

Fire destroys lady’s life Miss Sarah E. Farlin, who was badly burned around the last week of October, 1915, while burning leaves in her yard in Warrensburgh, died at noon three weeks later at her home.

Miss Farlin was sixty-eight years old and it was due to her advanced age that she was unable to withstand the shock and effects of the burns.

At the time Miss Farlin met with the fatal burns she was cleaning up her yard and burning the leaves. In leaning over the flames her apron caught fire and before she was aware of it she was enveloped in flames and was painfully burned about the body. Dr. C.V. Cunningham attended her.

Coming from Glens Falls, Miss Farlin had resided in Warrensburgh for a period of forty-five years. She lived alone and has no surviving relatives.

Historic hotel changes hands W.A. “Alonzo” Fosmer, known locally as “Happy Lon,” for nineteen years the proprietor and landlord of the Rising House, one of Chestertown’s two popular year-round hotels, has sold the property to John O’Connor of New York, who is expected to take possession the first week of November, 1915.

Mr. O’Connor is the son-in-law of Cornelius Murphy, proprietor of the popular summer resort, Hotel Atateka, at Friends Lake.

The Rising House has been, over the years, a refined home for the Fosmer family, a protection and comfort for the traveling public and a restful meeting place for citizens to congregate for their convenience and pleasure. (Note – One source says that the hotel was sold to John O’Connor and another says it was sold to a “Mr. McConnell.” Lon Fosmer later moved to the “west end” of Chestertown to live out his days.

The Rising House is by far one of the oldest and most history packed structures in Warren County and Chestertown is indeed fortunate to have such a treasure located in the very heart of the town. I pray that Chester never suffers the tragedy of losing it as we have had on Nov. 9, 2000 in the trashing and destruction of the historic circa 1835 Cunningham house in Warrensburg to make way for a gasoline station and place to buy quick snacks.)

Hotel resists attempts of arson The Empire House, at Hartford, on Nov. 15, 1915 was damaged to the extent of about $1,000 by fire believed to have been of incendiary origin. It is said that the floors, walls and some of the furniture were saturated with kerosene and that the fires were started in three different parts of the building.

Owing to a lack of draft, the fire burned itself out after the walls and woodwork had been blistered.

A second attempt to burn the hotel exactly one week later after it was first fired was frustrated early in the morning, Nov.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

21, 1915, by two women who from the window of their home, saw one of three men throw kerosene on the porch of the hotel and then apply a match to it. They gave the alarm and the fire was quickly extinguished. The porch and lattice work were slightly damaged.

The thirty room hotel is owned by Asa Roberts of Bolton Landing who conducted it until a short time ago when it was closed after the town had voted against licenses. The residents of Hartford are thoroughly aroused over this second bold attempt of the firebugs to destroy the hotel. (Note – In those days this heinous practice seems to be not uncommon. On Feb. 9, 1907 the Palisades Hotel, in Brant Lake, was destroyed by fire and Mrs. Edward McAuliffe was charged with arson.)

Adirondack lumber stories John H. Lockwood has brought from the woods on his place on Harrington Hill, a fine piece of timber, of perfect proportions, which he will present to the state for a flagpole on the new fish hatchery grounds on the Hudson River in Warrensburgh. (Note – It would be interesting to know if that flagpole still stands there.)

(Note – It was less than three months later, in February, 1916, that lumberman T.C. Luther cut an elm tree, in sight of Fort Ticonderoga, which he hauled to his sawmill on Lake Champlain that produced 5,600 board feet of lumber. The rings of the tree indicated that it was 720 years old, which proves that it was here long beforeAmerica was discovered. If he had done this in 2015 he would undoubtedly have become as popular as that “sportsman” recently in the news, who shot the tame pet lion when he was hunting on safari in Africa.)

Event founder Teresa Whalen said this year’s Christmas in Warrensburgh has been becoming more popular over its 27-year history, perhaps due to new activities offered each year.

“Embracing the traditional holiday spirit, Christmas in Warrensburgh has been making fond memories of old-fashioned Christmas activities for two generations of Warrensburg residents and visitors,” she said.

Sunday: craft fair, other events On Sunday Dec. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the town’s annual Holiday Craft Fair featuring a wide variety of artisans is to be held at Echo Lake Lodge, northwest of Warrensburg off Hudson Street Extension.
