Lake Placid’s RJ Reid looks to avoid the tag of the Ticonderoga catcher during the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference’s season-opener April 16. Reid connected for two hits, including a double, as the Blue Bombers opened with a 7-6 win over the Sentinels, scoring six times in the final two innings to complete the comeback.

Mulderig takes leave at Lake Placid CS By Tim Follos tim@denpubs.com
Spring seasons get started PAGE 19
LAKE PLACID — The long-running saga involving Lake Placid Central School District Superintendent Randy Richards and High School Principal Katherine Mulderig took another turn last week, when word broke
that Mulderig went on an extended leave of absence beginning Monday, April 16. Sources within the school system told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that Mulderig had accepted a settlement from the district and would not return to her job. "Although it appears very hollow, the board still can-
not comment or discuss the principal situation," said School Board President Phil Baumbach. "We understand there are a lot of questions, but we must remain confidential about the principal issue. We are working with all parties to come to a resolution that is best for those who are involved."
Baumbach explained the the board’s tight-lipped approach to the matter as an issue of “policy mandates.” "Obviously, everybody wants an explanation and I'm sure they get tired of, 'Well, we can't talk about it,' but that's the real situation,” he said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
E L I Z A B E T H TO W N — A sub-committee of five will start to take a deeper look at three potential buyers of the Horace Nye Nursing Home. The Nursing Home Committee recommended that a sub-committee consisting of Lewis Supervisor David Blades, Elizabethtown Supervisor Margaret Bartley, Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery-Corey, Office For the Aging Director Patty Bashaw and Horace Nye Director Deborah Gifford to research and visit each of the three organizations that have bid to purchase the home. Upon appointing the board, there was discussion over the addition of Gifford to the five. “I think it does make sense to have Deborah or someone from Horace Nye be a part of this,” North Elba Supervisor and Horace Nye Committee Chair Roby Politi said. “Deborah works for this board and for Essex County and my personal opinion is that she would give us an unbiased view of what she sees. There is nothing that says she would be out of a job because of this.” While Politi endorsed the appointment, which County Manager Daniel Palmer said was made in part because she had requested to be on the sub-committee, others were skeptical. “Just because she asked to be on this committee, does that mean that she is the best choice for the committee or if there is another, better choice,” St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency said.
