MAKING A SPLASH

CSEA, Essex Co. OK contract

This Week IN WARRENSBURG

Former resident of Johnsburg turns 100

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ The Essex County Board of Supervisors approved a new threeyear contract with members of the County Chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA).

The board voted to approve the contract, which would retroactively take effect as of Jan. 1 of this year and give no pay increases to members of the union in 2013, with a 1 percent increase in 2014 and a 2 percent increase in 2015.

County Manager Dan Palmer said that the contract represented a compromise between the two sides. Ò This contract represents a cooling off contract between both sides because it was rather contentious at times,Ó Palmer said. Ò This really is kind of a compromise. It leaves the union with certain items that they felt were important to be preserved.Ó Palmer said that a major compromise came between the annual wage increases and overtime in the SheriffÕ s Department, where the 12-hour schedule led to four hours of overtime per pay period. The union agreed to language that would remove the overtime charges from the payroll while the county increased their pay increase offer from zero percent in the second year to 1 percent. Ò That provides a savings of about $175,000 per year with CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

LAKE GEORGE Ñ Ò I feel like Santa at the mall!Ó international celebrity Rachael Ray exclaimed midway during an interview with area media representatives prior to her annual scholarship benefit show Saturday Aug. 12 at her alma mater, Lake George High School.

The room broke into laughter.

In a display of cheerfulness, charm and charisma, Rachael Ray shared banter, news and laughter with

press, television and radio reporters for more than a half-hour.

Seeming genuinely pleased to be in her hometown, the internationally renowned television star shared her thoughts and plans for a very busy 2013.

Rachael spoke passionately about her work with the First Lady Michelle ObamaÕ s program for kids “Let’s Move” and her fight against childhood obesity with the ChildrenÕ s Initiative. Her other charities include her Nutrish dog food line Ñ set to expand to cat food this year Ñ in which all net proceeds go to animal rescue.

Also, Rachael has donated $500,000 to the ASPCA

to construct a shelter for animals victimized by Hurricane Sandy. The 20,000-square-feet shelter opened in September.

Asked about her favorite destinations during her many visits to her home in Lake Luzerne, Rachael grinned.

“The Harvest is always my first stop,” she said. Ò IÕ ve been going there for the same pizza since I was 12, and I still get the same pizza Ñ only now I get to sit at the bar and feel like a big kid!Ó She continued that her other favorite local foodCONTINUED ON PAGE 8

WARRENSBURG Ñ A woman born in horseand-buggy days Ñ before Prohibition no less Ñ shared memories with her friends Saturday about growing up in northern Warren County.

Charlotte (Pasco) Rumble Wood is observing her 100th birthday on Friday, April 19, and her family and friends held a party Saturday, April 13 at Echo Lake Lodge to celebrate the occasion.

Charlotte was born in a home that still stands on High St. near Mountain Road in Thurman.

Sometime during her early childhood, she moved to South Johnsburg, where she attended a rural one-room schoolhouse, Charlotte recalled at her party. Ò You had to run to the spring to get the water,Ó she said. Ò And there were two outhouses, one for the boys and one for the girls.Ó She also grew up on a small family farm, attending to a vegetable garden as well as farm animals. Ò I was a tomboy,Ó Charlotte said, recalling how she enjoyed fishing and hunting with family members Ñ both as a youth and an adult.

As a teenager, Charlotte lived temporarily in Warrensburg Ñ she worked for room and board in town Ñ to attend Warrensburg 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.

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

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

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

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

Adirondack Teen Leadership and Service graduates first class Question: How many teens does it take to make a difference?

Answer: Eleven.

NORTH CREEK Ñ The Johnsburg Youth Committee is proud to present its Adirondack Teen Leadership and Service (ATLAS) first graduating class of talented high school students. On March 23, the ATLAS group, which had been meeting monthly for six months, celebrated the successful completion of the programÕ s first year. The high school students were handpicked by their school administrators to participate in a pilot program designed to encourage, motivate and inspire future leaders.

Joined by Tony Vacca, of Arts Are Essential in Northampton, Mass., the teens along with their parents, grandparents and friends, got together to form an impromptu band made of nothing but household

scraps to create an ensemble that sounded like a well-rehearsed orchestra. The metaphor, not lost on any of the students, was that you donÕ t need experience, money or innate talent to make a difference in the community or in life. There is nothing that perseverance, belief and a winning attitude canÕ t overcome.

Following the energetic musical session was a graduation ceremony led by ATLAS founder and Johnsburg Youth Committee member Deb Morris of Barkeater Chocolates. The graduation took place in Wevertown with a catered lunch by North CreekÕ s Eats and Sweets. The ceremony recognized the 11 teens who participated in monthly sessions led by inspiring facilitators from upstate New York and New England. Morris said, ÒW e have been so fortunate to have worked with these students since last fall. The goal was to teach

them life lessons, but in so many ways, they have taught us.Ó The ATLAS class of 2013 is Taylor Feiden and Larissa Smith from Minerva Central School; Julianna Dewer, Megan Miller, Krista Millington, Lexi Pratt and Courtney Viele from North Warren Central School; and Colleen Fuller, Sarah Morris, Sara Pierson and Shiloh Wood from Johnsburg Central School.

Speakers and sessions are already being planned for the next ATLAS program; with the selection process beginning in May. Morris adds, “Our first year was a test year. We now know what works and what can be improved upon, and weÕ d like to expand to other area schools for the class of 2014.Ó For more information, visit the ATLAS Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AdirondackTeenLeadershipAndService.

Shiloh Wood GirlsÕ State: Shiloh Wood has been selected as a delegate to attend GirlsÕ State, which will be held from Sunday, June 30 to Saturday, July 6 at SUNY Brockport.

Members of the MCS screening team and teachers who will be involved with incoming students will introduce themselves and be available to answer questions. Parents will have an opportunity to ask questions concerning the screening process. Refreshments will be served.

A completed questionnaire, immunization records, a birth certificate, and a social security card in the childÕ s name should be brought to the informational meeting.

Screening will take place on Thursday, May 9, 2013. To be eligible, incoming Pre-Kindergarten students must be 4 years old on or before Dec. 1, 2013. Incoming Kindergarten students must turn 5 on or before Dec. 1, 2013.

Parents of eligible students who are known to reside in the MCS district will be sent notification of the Round-Up date in April. Parents of eligible students who do not receive this information should contact MCS secretary Rose Frettoloso @ 251-2000.

to create a state-wide database for names that come up the same and then check them with their tax records.Ó Lewis expressed her hope that once the database is created, local assessors would be able to use that information in working locally. Ò The state is concerned about the STAR exemption because it is their exemptions,Ó she said. Ò When an assessor is asked to remove an exemption, they will also look at the other exemptions the person may have. But there are many other exemptions that assessors have to look at that this database could help them with.Ó Senior citizens receiving the Enhanced STAR are not affected by the new registration requirement, but they must continue to apply annually or participate in the Income Verification Program.

Lewis said at there is new legislation that would void the STAR exemption if one or more property owners that receive the exemption have unpaid state tax debt as of May 31 of this year. The state will notify any delinquent taxpayer of the impending suspension at least 45 days prior to the date of potential suspension.

North Country Ministry receives large donation

NORTH CREEK Ă‘ A donation of $78,000 has been given to North Country Ministry in honor of Father Paul Cox of Cleverdale.

Father Cox was most recently former pastor of St. MaryÕ s Church of Glens Falls and Scared Heart of Lake George and is currently Sacramental Minister at St. CeciliaÕ s of Warrensburg.

The gift was given by Tim McDonald of Manchester, Mass., whose family was impacted by the friendship and kindness of Father Cox when he was a young priest at St. Vincent de Paul parish in Albany.

McDonaldÕ s sisters, Patty Rossi and Karen McLaughlin, wrote that both and he and Father Cox are humble men who donÕ t seek recognition but both felt this story might create an awareness and opportunity for others to pay it forward in a way they know will help others in need.

Father Cox and his Lake George parish were founding supporters of North Country Ministry, which began in 1992 in Warren County and have continued to lend their support to this day.

It is McDonaldÕ s hope that there are many other people who were helped by Father CoxÕ s compassion and are now in a position to honor him with a gift to North Country Ministry.

The organization is planning to expand the Warrensburg building and create a larger food pantry and BabyÕ s Place Program. This donation will be used for emergency services and to contribute to this expansion. There are currently a hundred volunteers who help in a variety of ways to serve nearly one thousand people a month in an area over 650 square miles. Visit the NCM website to see what we have to offer at www.NCMadk.org.

Hospice is covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid and most private carriers but these reimbursements covers only 85% of actual costs of providing hospiceÕ s specialized care. Hospice also never denies service due to inability to pay. High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care relies on the financial support of the communities they serve through fundraising efforts to make up the difference.

A hospice family recently wrote: All of you were the most caring, giving people we have ever met. Your patience, compassion and all-over loving care far exceeded what any human being could give to another. IĂ• m sure (he) is looking down on all of you, asking you to cover his feet and change the

News Enterprise Editorial

Pardon our mess (The following edition of Ò Ski Bowl Park NewsÓ was submitted by the Friends of the Park Improvement Committee. It is printed here as a guest editorial.)

G

olly Ñ what have they done over at the pavilion? Did you see the mess?

Yup Ñ itÕ s a mess for right now. But come May and June, it will start improving.

Last summer the town of Johnsburg decided to act on the New York State Parks and Recreation grant and encouraged us to get as much done as we could while the weather held. So, in September, after the summer activities died down, we started in.

We put in a climbing boulder for the older kids in the playground and refurbished the wood fiber surface of the play area. After a curb is constructed, the remaining wood chips still be smoothed out and distributed more evenly. By the big cedars, a fence around the hydrant and electric box will be built. We also put in walkways to the pavilion and the newly named Joe Minder Lodge (ski hut).

Parallel to the buildings and road, we are developing planting beds for shrubs. Another walkway will run parallel to the bed, so when you get out of your car, you have a path to walk on. There are piles of dirt in the middle of everywhere right now, but eventually it will be used or distributed and grass re-established.

Please say thank you to the people who have helped make Ò the messÓ : Bob Nessle, Paul LoGuercio, Lee Keeler, Lou Falzerano, Joe Connelly, Bob Manning and Kelly Nessle. They have worked many volunteer hours Ñ all of which can be used as a contribution against the matching grant the town received back in 2007.

Jim and Carol Dwyer donated several hundred cubic yards of top soil to the landscaping project.

Dan Hitchcock and his highway department employees trucked the dirt from Wevertown to Ski Bowl Park. Rob Wing, owner of Volt Landscaping in Queensbury loaned his landscape design assistant to help plan the landscaping and offered to purchase shrubs at his cost.

We would encourage anyone who wants to be a part of the work, to give us a shout by calling 251-3739. On June 8, shrubs will be planted. Helping hands will make a huge job go quickly Ñ and all you need is a shovel, gloves, and a few Saturday morning hours.

This summer we will not only be finishing up the landscaping project, but Steve Ovitt will be constructing the hiking/biking/ski trails he designed last fall. Signs and dog stations for the park, donated by the Rivendell Foundation, will be established. The pond will get some attention as well. The Friends of the Parks received a $10,000 grant from The Charles R. Wood Foundation to help control the weeds and to aerate the pond which will help promote a balanced, healthy pond to maintain water clarity. We hope with these measures that swimming can be an activity in the park again.

All of these projects could use helping hands and support.

The pettiness of politics U

nited States politics is one of the biggest money businesses in the world. In so many ways the channels to gain political influence can trump even the largest multi-national corporation. As citizens of this great nation, we would like to think those involved in the business of politics could look beyond petty skirmishes, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our governments.

Two examples recently came to light. The first occurred last week when the Senate chose to hold up a resolution honoring former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who died on Monday, April 8 at age 87. The resolution was scheduled to pass late Wednesday prior to being sidelined

by Senate Democrats.

Could the reason for the snub be that the former Prime Minister was too closely aligned with Republican President Ronald Reagan? The purpose of a resolution like this is merely to show respect for and acknowledge a personÕ s contribution. The House of Representatives on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution honoring Thatcher. The tribute cited ThatcherÕ s Ò life-long commitment to advancing freedom, liberty, and democracy and for her friendship to the United States.Ó The second example of political pettiness is taking place in New Rochelle, where the city council has refused to allow a veterans organization from displaying the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from the New Rochelle Armory.

It was after an official ceremony at the Armory, in March, that a new American flag was unfurled to replace the previous weathered flag. Under the new flag was the flag known as the Gadsden, which is a common tradition at many military sites.

Within a week the New Rochelle City Manager ordered the Gadsden removed because of “unidentified complaints” that the flag is a symbol of the Tea Party. But after learning greater detail of the flag’s origin and lengthy tradition from the veterans group United

Veterans Memorial and Patriotic Association of New Rochelle, the city manger decided he acted in haste and rescinded his previous directive.

But the pettiness didnÕ t end there. The New Rochelle City Council entered the fray, overruled the city manager, and voted 5-2 to have the flag removed. The council objected to the flag because they said the president of the veterans group is a member of the Tea Party and wants to display the flag to push a political agenda. Despite denial from the groupÕ s president city DPW workers were ordered to confiscate the Gadsden.

The Gadsden flag, sometimes referred to as the Jack, is steeped in U.S. history back to the countryÕ s founding days. It has been used by both the U.S. Marines and Navy since 1775 when Commodore Esek Hopkins used the First Navy Jack as a signal to engage the British in the American Revolution. Since the New Rochelle Armory was at one time a New York Naval Militia Armory and training facility for both the Navy and the Marines the flag has sentimental value and roots in that facility.

You have to wonder when you hear or read of events like these if values like respect, honor, tradition or appreciation of service have any basis in the business of big politics today? Surely these folks have more important issues to address than the fear of being one upped by a kind gesture to the deceased former Prime Minister or overlooking the short lived Tea PartyÕ s perceived association to a symbol long associated with American democracy and independence. I was always taught to speak kindly of the dead and have respect for those whoÕ ve served our country.

Childish behavior has no place in American Politics nor in a serious society that seeks to uplift its people and encourage active participation.

At home with the Allens Bakers Mills News

W

From the Archives

By Kathy Maiorana

A

remarkable couple was interviewed by the Living History program of Johnsburg Historical Society November 9, 2012. George and Harriet Allen of Barney Hill Road, Bakers Mills are typical of JohnsburgÕ s strong work ethic and at the same time extraordinary in their unwavering commitment to family, work, church, community and each other.

The interview was conducted on GeorgeÕ s 82nd birthday. Also present to add their own colorful stories were his brother Lee and two of George and HarrietÕ s daughters, Gretchen and Stella.

One of nine children (eight boys and a girl), George was born in the Bartman district of Bakers Mills. His father, a lumberman, was a sawyer all his life. HarrietÕ s father also worked in a sawmill for a time, as did George as a young man.

Harriet (Ross) was born October 7, 1931, one of seven children who were raised at the Izzy Richards place off Garnet Lake Road. As a four year-old, Harriet followed her older brothers to school, walking behind them to the one-room schoolhouse for eight grades on South Johnsburg Road. Amazingly the patient teacher, Mrs. Shortsleeves, allowed Harriet to stay, and even found time to teach the four year- old to embroider.

Mrs. Shortsleeves became a lifelong friend and always called Harriet Ò SisterÓ like her siblings did. Gretchen remembers Mrs. Shortsleeves visiting the family at Christmas with presents for all. The teacher, a sister of Ed McKee and Fayette McKee, remained friends with the family all her life. Ò A LickinÕ Every DayÓ George and his brother LeeÕ s school experience was not as sweet. Male teacher Jack OÕ Donnell would take Lee aside and give him a Ò lickinÓ every school day, for no apparent reason (according to Lee).

George told Mr. OÕ Donnell that their Daddy said that the lickins had to stop, or he would come to school and give the teacher a lickin. Lee was never bothered again. Ò I Would Do Anything to Go to a Square DanceÓ As a teenager HarrietÕ s favorite activity was square dancing. She was 16 when her mother finally consented to allow Harriet to attend her first square dance, at the Buckskin Valley Dude Ranch at Garnet Lake. Ò I would do anything to go to a square danceÓ and Harriet remembers having to clean the whole house and bake a cake before being allowed to go dancing. She had to be escorted by her brother Howard Ñ not Harry, because Mom thought he was too wild.

Even after Harriet and George were engaged, Harriet would attend square

dances without the groom-to-be. Reasoning that Ò George doesnÕ t need to knowÓ , Harriet wore her new wedding shoes to a square dance weeks before the wedding.

The young couple who had met at church and had grown up together were married January 1, 1949 on a minus 30 degree day at Bakers Mills Wesleyan Church. The ceremony was simple, with two witnesses and followed by a reception at HarrietÕ s motherÕ s home.

When George was hired by National lead in 1951, the growing family moved to Upper Works where housing was provided for employees.

His first job there was at the cinder plant where coal was mixed into ore. A specific amount of water was added so that the cinder-filled bins and ore-filled bins would not flare up when set on fire.

After burning for fifteen minutes, the cinder chunks were ready to be dumped into railroad cars which were sprayed with water to keep them cool. The cars would be weighed, then sent to the lower yard, and then sent south by train, some containing titanium and some containing iron.

After having worked at National Lead for twenty years, George reluctantly went on strike along with the rest of the work force of about 300. He never returned to work after the strike, but went to work at Barton Mines Hudson River garnet mining plant in North River, where he remained another 22 years.

GeorgeÕ s brother Lee worked at the Barton Mines Ruby Mountain facility.

Lee was caught in an avalanche of rocks off the wall, broke a bone in his back, and was out of work for four months. Ò If We Had Food, It was Because Dad Grew ItÓ Daughters Gretchen and Stella described their fatherÕ s dedication to work and family. Ò He probably never slept more than four hours a nightÕ Ó and all through those years he plowed, logged, shoveled, farmed, took care of farm animals before heading off to work. To feed

his family of nine children, George had huge potato gardens, grew corn, beans, pumpkin and made butter and cheese from the cowÕ s milk. As Stella noted, Ò If we had food, it was because Dad grew it.Ó This father/husband/farmer/miner was a kind of horse whisperer as well.

He plowed with horses until he owned a tractor. To tame an uncooperative horse, he would ride it bareback until the horse acquiesced. Admiring the illustrations of the Lone Ranger and his horse Silver rearing up on hind legs, George taught his fatherÕ s plow horse to rear up. One day when Grandpa was plowing the field, the horse suddenly reared up, like the Lone RangerÕ s horse. Grandpa was not happy. Ò Bakers Mills Is My Favorite Place on EarthÓ George credits his mother and his pastor as the major influences on his life, and is most proud of his 63 years of marriage to Harriet. Noting that Bakers Mills is his favorite place on earth, he wishes to be remembered here simply as Ò an honest man.Ó Harriet, proud mother of nine good, successful, hard-working, honest children, wishes to be remembered as a loving mother. For the immediate future Harriet plans to continue working three days a week at North CreekÕ s Grand Union, where she lights up customersÕ lives with her sense of humor and with her sign, Ò Please be nice to me Ð YouÕ ll be old some day.Ó This heartwarming interview was interrupted by frequent loud laughter and the recounting of numerous hilarious family stories. Johnsburg Historical Society hopes to make this and other oral histories accessible from a new JHS web page, thanks to a generous grant from the North Creek Calendar fundraising project.

Interviewer was Kathy Maiorana ; videocamera , taping and DVD were handled by David Braley.

Question of the Month

What is something that makes you laugh?

Johnsburg Central School Ms. Hagadorn, Grade 1 Ò When I watch AmericaÕ s Funniest Home Videos! One time I watched a goat cut the cheese!Ó (Levi Neal) Ò I laugh when I see dogs because they play funny tricks on each other.Ó (Alesha Johnston) Ò I laugh when my dog licks me.Ó (Hayden Baker) Ò When I see funny tricks!Ó (Hunter Denno) Ò When I see funny faces and see silly tricks!Ó (Angelo Galle) Johnsburg Central School Mrs. Morris, Grade 4 Ò When my litle sister snorts and she laughs. That means she is having fun so I am having fun too. When she is feeling down she makes me down too. So I need to bring her back up which might involve falling down stairs or getting Ò hurt,Ó but

IÕ d do anything to make my little sister happy.Ó (Ethan Gereau) Ò I have a tendency to burst out laughing when I see members of my family laughing. I laugh when my family is laughing because I somehow involuntarily feel like I have to laugh with them. One time my younger brother Caden was laughing, and I had to laugh because it was so entertaining to see him laugh.Ó (Mason DeGroat) Ò When my dad and family tickle me because I am very ticklish. Also my family says funny jokes and we have a good time together. My five-year-old (in dog years_ Dude also makes me laugh. ItÕ s funny when he sneezes because he blows boogers all over the room that he is in. My grandpa by singing these old songs when he makes breakfast. He purposely sings the songs wrong and puts my name in the songs. My teacher Mrs. Morris makes me laugh by talking very seriously about funny things. She will use things that we find

funny in her lessons to teach us.Ó (Pheobe Glover) Ò When my hamster is running on her wheel. It is so funny when her little body is in one place and the rest of her is all over the bottom of the wheel! It is hilarious when she jumps from the floor of her cage to the top of her sleeping hut (which is covered with poop) and immediately jumps down. When I read a book out loud to her, she actually comes to the front of the cage and sort of listens. Sometimes her hind legs get stuck on a piece of bedding when she is moving around, and it drags behind her around the cage. Occasionally one of the hamsters tries to steal a piece of food from the other one and they both end up spinning around in circles. So from what IÕ ve written, you can conclude that my hamsters make me laugh.Ó (Helena Williams)

Mill Creek Musings

By Jan Nickerson

I

Õ m a bridge player and, as such, my partner and I are sometimes Ò vulnerable.Ó This means that if we fail to make our bid, the opponentsÕ points are doubled.

I have come to the realization that my vulnerability is not limited to the bridge table. It extends to all aspects of life.

We are all vulnerable when it comes to health issues, forces of nature, the potential for accidents at home, on the highway and in the skies.

In the past I pictured myself as a turtle and my little green car as my shell, my carapace. It fit me. If it snowed hard all day, IÕ d stay indoors. In other words, if I sensed potential trouble IÕ d pull in my head until it passed by.

Being a turtle isnÕ t all bad. In AesopÕ s Fable, Ò The Tortoise and the Hare,Ó it is the tortoise who wins the race because of his slow, steady pace. But a turtle whose hiding his head is like a rock. HeÕ s rooted to the spot, not going anywhere, and he canÕ t even see what heÕ s missing. He certainly wonÕ t win any races.

Last Friday I had to drive in a nasty snowstorm. Like a turtle, I pushed on slowly and steadily and made it home safely. It felt good to be a winner!

Ò Maybe IÕ ll even get my mom to cook for me!Ó Rachael said that despite her fame and influence stemming from her Manhattan-based television show, she is happiest here in the Adirondacks.

Rachael Ray said Aug. 12 that although she was staying for a week Ñ her version of spring break Ñ she has the food schedule for her mini-vacation planned to a Ò T,Ó including dinners like spinach lasagna and chicken fries. Ò IÕ m always comfortable cooking Ñ They donÕ t make me, I like it,Ó she said. Ò I love going out and meeting new people, but what IÕ ve learned is that people are just people.Ó 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,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s really about the storytelling. I like to make meals that people feel they could easily make themselves at home.Ó While Rachael RayÕ s shows have featured such stars as President Bill Clinton, Julie Andrews, Clay Aiken, and Michael J. Fox, sheÕ s also hosted ordinary people Ñ welcoming them with similar cheerfulness, attention and charm. Ò Our goal is to make famous people forget that their famous and make viewers feel like theyÕ re part of the program,Ó 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, Ò My Year In Meals,Ó 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 Ò Knock on wood!Ó she jokes Ñ

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.

Hazardous waste pickup days discussed in Essex County keith@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ New regulations could make it harder for Essex County to hold a hazardous waste pickup day.

During the Public Works Committee meeting April 15, department director Anthony LaVigne proposed two sites to hold a day for residents to dispose of any hazardous materials and products in the town of North Elba and at the county DPW headquarters in Lewis.

However, LaVigne said that new regulations

require that residents bring the items to the transfer stations themselves, instead of having towns transfer the waste to the disposal sites for them.

Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said that previously, his town had collected hazardous waste from residents and then transported it to wherever the county was holding its pickup. Ò The last time we did the project, we brought a couple of fairly significant loads over,” Canon said. Ò Now we are being told that we cannot do it that way and my concern is that we have a lot of woods where it can go for a lot cheaper if we

do not give people a chance to get rid of these materials properly.Ó Ò I do not think you are going to have people driving to Lewis or driving to North Elba to take care of that waste,Ó Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava said. Ò I think that the only way that we can do this is to have a waste disposal day at each transfer station.Ó Ò We need to have these locally because there are people who want to take care of these items properly,Ó Schroon Supervisor Michael Marnell said.

LaVigne said that it would be difficult to hire a hazardous waste contractor to hold a pickup day at each of the countiesÕ 14 transfer stations. Ò Right now the contractor has three dates available,Ó he said. Ò To do 14 different sites, you would have to have the contractor here for 14 different days and it is very hard to get them here that much because they are busy.Ó LaVigne added that any site has to meet state

permitting standards and that any waste has to be brought in by residents in order to be eligible for a 50 percent funding grant. Ò They are throwing so many stipulations on this that they are making us try to figure out how we can make this happen,” Chesterfield Supervisor Gerald Morrow said.

Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said that last year, when he joined with the town of North Elba for a hazardous waste pickup day that had no grant funding, it cost the town around $2,500.

“The first couple of years it was covered under a grant,Ó he said. Ò Last year it was not and we were sent a bill for about $2,500. It basically amounts to $150 per person who uses the services.Ó LaVigne said that the county currently has $20,000 budgeted for a hazardous removal day, but that it would cost about $60,000 to make it a countywide happening.

the overtime,Ó Palmer said. Ò In return, we did change our original proposal from 0-0-2 to 0-1-2 for pay increases. We did that to compromise on the four hours of overtime at the SheriffÕ s Department. That is a permanent reduction, and I felt that this was a fair exchange and the committee agreed.Ó Members of the contract committee commented on the compromises that were reached. Ò I did not see everything that I wanted, and I am sure that I can say that the union did not see everything that they wanted,Ó Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston said. Ò I think that this contract is a good representation for the county.Ó Ò I think that all sides saw that we all have jobs to do and letÕ s get it done,Ó Newcomb Supervisor George Canon said. Ò It was a good job by all.Ó Ò This is good for the county, especially if you compare the increase in wages and what we have had before,Ó County Attorney Dan Manning said.

The accepted contract was approved by union membership, 193-63. It was the second time that the union voted on the contract, previously defeating the first proposal from the county. Ò I want to thank them for putting in the extra effort to get this done after it was defeated the first time,” County Chairman Randy Douglas said.

Lewis Supervisor David Blades said that he was concerned that not as many members of the union voted the second time around. Ò Only half of the employees came in and voted, and that concerns me,Ó Blades said. Ò I would have liked to have seen larger numbers to represent a more true decision by their members.Ó Ò I think that we did a good job to rally them to come out to the last vote and they turned it down in large numbers,Ó Palmer said. Ò I think that people who saw the new contract and decided that it was good did not come.Ó Union President Michael McGinnn said he felt the compromise agreement was good for all sides. Ò We worked well together in todayÕ s economy,Ó McGinn said. Ò It went really well and both sides got not everything they wanted, but it was a very, very good compromise for todayÕ s world and helping with the county budget situation.Ó

Searching for spring

A

fter waiting and watching for the backwoods ponds to shed winterÕ s hard cap, I couldnÕ 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 werenÕ 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 PondÕ s parking area. In yearÕ s past, IÕ 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 IÕ 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 didnÕ 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

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. IÕ 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, IÕ ll pay more attention to the surrounding canopy before I set off. IÕ 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 IÕ m willing to take my licks, nicks and kicks. ThatÕ 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.

IÕ 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 ‘bulling’ their way through it.

Women are also better listeners and are willing to ask questions when they donÕ t understand. Most importantly, they usually havenÕ t developed the bad habit of attempting to accomplish a cast by ‘throwing the football’.

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, Ò 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.Ó 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 winterÕ s worth of cleanings, probably 5 to 10 buckets worth.

Whoa, letÕ 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 Ñ 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, IÕ 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. ThatÕ s what your ash is composed of, the left over products of combustion that didnÕ 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 donÕ t want to try growing acid loving plants like blueberries in neutral, alkaline soils. Most of the recommendations IÕ 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 donÕ 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 natureÕ 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.

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.

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 Anthony 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 four-year starter and Tanner a three-year starter on the varsity. Jordan Woods is also a threeyear starter.”

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

Viking schedule

By Fred Herbst

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

in 2013. They will be key to Schroon Lake’s season.

“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.

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.

April 23 Heatly Pitching for the team will be sophoApril 24 @Lake George more Taylor Olson, now one year reApril 26 Corinth moved from ACL surgery. Whipple said April 29 Salem Olson has been very focused on working May 1 Lake George her way back to the mound.

May 3 @Warrensburg “We need Taylor to throw consistent May 6 @Whitehall strikes,” he said.

May 8 @Bolton Laura Tennyson, a senior infielder, is May 10 @Hadley/Luzerne shifting from behind the plate to infield.

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.

at the varsity level,” McGinn said. “It’s hard to do the game-situation stuff inside.”

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

ORANGE 44062

April 20, 2013

Madison Miller, Emma Gray, Shaneka Burch, Meg Smith, Jessica Bain and Shannon Farrell all return for the Lady Orange this softball season.

Lady Orange return a veteran squad this season LONG LAKE — One of the newest members of the Indian LakeLong Lake varsity softball team will be the coach, Long Lake Town Highway Superintendent Chip Farr.

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.

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.

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).

Rounding out the team are sophomores Sydney Barber, Riyo Onishi and Rachel Bush;
