jgrybos@denpubs.com JOHNSBURG — While the flatlanders in Saratoga and Albany aren't seeing snowstorms this year, the woods and slopes of Johnsburg are ready and waiting for skiers to dig in their poles. Garnet Hill Lodge is in great condition to host cross-country adven-

turers, said Ski Shop Director Jay DeJesus. With the help of their master groomer, Dale Monthony, the ski trails can open with only a few inches of snow cover and offer plenty of room to explore. They regularly host local high schools' cross-country teams, and have had visits from schools as far away as Yale in this low-snow season that leaves the lodge as one of the few ski centers in the East with

open trails. DeJesus is working to expand Garnet Hill's relationship with ski teams regionally. The Johnsburg Central Nordic team had just wrapped up some time on the trails. “You want to do everything you can to seed your future,” said DeJesus. He tapped a JCS Nordic team member on the shoulder and said, “This guy could be a future Olympian.”

Garnet Hill is lucky this year, partly because of its elevation, but DeJesus couldn't speak more glowingly of the lodge's groomer, who has 25 years of experience and long family history with the place. At Garnet Hill Lodge, new owners Don Preuninger and Mindy Piper had a meeting with a group hoping to bring events for disabled veterans to the cross-country ski center.

NORTH CREEK — The North Creek Volunteer Fire Company is looking for donations to help one of its members rebuild a small business after a fire destroyed the firefighter's outbuilding on Jan. 28. Fire company Chief Steve Studnicky said Jan. 29 that about 10 North Creek volunteers responded to a fire on the Old River Road in North Creek around 11 a.m. Jan. 28 and extinguished the blaze in an outbuilding that housed a small engine repair business, including tools and equipment. Nobody was injured, but the building is considered a complete loss. Members of three other fire companies — Johnsburg, Wevertown and Riverside — responded in mutual aid. The fire lasted about 90 minutes. Studnicky said the building is owned by Rich Kuhlmann and his wife, Janet, and the company is accepting donations of money and tools to help him rebuild. Rich has been a member of the fire company for about five years, and Janet has helped out with the support team. “When it comes to our brotherhood and our sisterhood, when it comes to one of our own, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure they come through it,” Studnicky said. Send donations to the North Creek Volunteer Fire Company at PO Box 112, North Creek, NY 12853. Call (518) 251-2324 for more information.
