WARRENSBURG „ A woman born in horse-and-buggy days „ before Prohibition no less „ 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. Some-time during her early childhood, she moved to South Johnsburg, where she attended a rural one-room

schoolhouse, Charlotte recalled at her party.ñ You had to run to the spring to get the water,î

she said. ñ And there were two outhouses, one for the boys and one for the girls.î

She also grew up on a small family farm, attending to a vegetable garden as well as farm animals.

LAKE GEORGE „ ñ I feel like Santa at the mall!î international celebrity Rachael Ray exclaimed midway during an inter-view with area media representatives pri-or to her annual scholarship benefi t 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.

charities include her Nutrish dog food line „ set to expand to cat food this year „ in which all net proceeds go to animal rescue.

Also, Rachael has donated $500,000 to the ASPCA to construct a shelter for ani-mals victimized by Hurricane Sandy. The 20,000-square-feet shelter opened in Sep-tember.

LAKE GEORGE „ With an intent to prompt upgrades to downtown buildings, Lake George Village trustees have proposed a property tax break for business proprietors who make improvements to their properties.

The initiative would exempt property owners from paying full taxes, for over a decade, on the assessed value of their property improvements.

Instead, the property own-ers would pay 50 percent of the assessed value of the upgrades during the fi rst year, and 5 per-cent less each year until the ex-emption expires.

Monday April 15, the trust-ees decided against a proposed stipulation that would call for a minimum of $50,000 in im-provements to qualify.

They decided to set a $10,000 minimum instead, citing that the lower amount would prompt more business owners to upgrade their properties.

The law would replace an existing schedule of exemp-tions for those boosting their assessments by $50,000, which

GLENS FALLS „ After a nationwide search to hire a new director for Crandall Library, the institutionÍ s board of trustees has decided to se-lect Kathy Naftaly of Lake George, the venueÍ s present acting director.

SheÍ s served in the position since the retire-ment last July of long-time library director Christine McDonald.

The selection was announced by the board on Tuesday April 16. Naftaly starts in her new post May 1.

A 12-year employee of the library, Naftaly was serving as assistant director during the li-braryÍ s moves in and out of temporary quarters while the extensive building addition and ex-pansion project was underway.

Naftaly also coordinated implementation of Crandall libraryÍ s modern self-help materials checkout and computerized cataloguing sys-tems. She has also garnered grants from such organizations as the National Science Founda-tion and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Naftaly lives in Lake George with her hus-

band Phillip, a SUNY Adirondack professor, and their son.

Before moving to Warren County, Naftaly was assistant director of Rutland Free Library. While serving in the post, she was named Ver-montÍ s ñ Cybrarian of the Year.î

Crandall Library has an annual budget ex-ceeding $4.1 million, about three-quarters of it from public funding. NaftalyÍ s salary has not been set, but itÍ s expected to be within $75,000 and $100,000 annually.

Soon after the hiring decision for Crandall Library was announced on Tuesday, Naftaly said she was looking forward to serving in her position.

ñ IÍ m ecstatic,î she said. ñ I love this library, and I think the fit is going to be magical.”

She said that through her work, sheÍ d be ful-filling her aim of giving back to the community „ working to further Crandall libraryÍ s already remarkable regional influence through its many services and programs.

ñ My whole life, IÍ ve been a passionate advo-cate for libraries and the knowledge, culture, stability, connections and quality of life they bring to communities.î she said.

Naftaly named Crandall Library’s new director

Kathy Naftaly of Lake George takes a break from her duties Tuesday April 16 at Crandall Library, hours after the announcement of her promotion to the position of permanent director of the influential institution.



LAKE GEORGE „ Behind a serving table, Chef Deric Buck grinned as he looked at a long line of people having his Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes and Mediterranean Chicken dished onto their plates by his catering employees.

Minutes earlier, none other than television celebrity Rachael Ray had introduced Buck to the capacity crowd gathered in the Lake George High School auditorium to hear her talk about cooking and offer details of her life.

In the local appearance, Rachael Ray praised BuckÍ s cooking and the staff of his catering operation. Buck is proprietor of Bo-geyÍ s Pub & Grill as well as Bay Meadows Golf Center, where the eatery is located at 31 Cronin Road in Queensbury.

ñ This is a huge opportunity for me,î Buck said as people con-sumed the entrees he had prepared with fresh ingredients. ñ To prepare this meal for the Rachael Ray Show represents a tremen-dous break for us, in promoting the work weÍ re doing in Queens-bury.î

While Buck and his staff dished out the entrees plus savory couscous with slivered almonds and fresh bay leaves, employees of the Lake George Baking Co. handed out orange and lemon cupcakes for dessert.

Earlier, Rachael Ray had noted that Baking Co. proprietors Buster and Debbie Alberino had recently presented her with a beloved gift „ a life-sized cake of her dog Isaboo. Last year, the Alberinos gave her a towering personalized cake to commemo-rate her 10th year of presenting a show at her alma mater, Lake George High School.

Also, Rachael erupted in a near-shriek of joy when she was presented with a gift of gourmet food from Oscar Í s Smoke House of Warrensburg, one of her favorite purveyors anywhere.

In addition to BogeyÍ s Pub & Grill, Bay Meadows Golf Center features a 9-hole course, plus five indoor golf simulators depict-ing 43 PGA Tour courses.

BogeyÍ s, which features sandwiches, wraps, pizza, salads, wings and a wide variety of specialties, serves food daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., either in their dining room or in their pub next to their golf simulators. Their dining room is open for lunch 11 to 3 p.m. daily and will soon be open three to four nights per week „ when golf season gets underway.

Take-out and delivery of their food is available seven days per week. Bogey’s and the golf center can be reached at 792-1650.

The driving range is now open „ it features inexpensive pric-es for golfers to practice their swing, and tune up for the season, Buck said.

Bogey’s, other enterprises praised by Rachael Ray in local visit

Bogey’s Pub & Grill proprietor Deric Buck (right) presides over his employees including: Angela Hooper and Loretta Shaw (center, left to right) as they serve up couscous and Moroccan Chicken to people attending the Rachael Ray Show Saturday Aug. 12 in Lake George. Television celebrity cook and talk show host Rachael Ray introduced Buck to the crowd, praising his cooking and catering skills. Buck is proprietor — along with his mother Faith Buck — of Bogey’s Pub & Grill as well as Bay Meadows Golf Center where the eatery is located, at 31 Cronin Road in Queensbury.

Cougars win key baseball game By Thom [email protected]

CHESTERTOWN „ Although the North Warren Baseball team was recently defeated by two Washington County teams, a victory last week against Adirondack League Western Division rival Bolton was welcome, North Warren coach Jason Humiston said April 16.

ñ Our defense and pitching has been fairly strong,î he said. ñ But we canÍ t continue scoring one to two runs per game, we have to manufacture five or six to compete.”

The Cougars won the game against Bolton by a score of 8-4, powered by a strong pitching and batting performance by Ethan Schenke.

Schenke tallied 14 strikeouts and hit a double as well as bat-ting in two runs.

Robert French slammed a double and a triple in the early-season victory.

The momentum in the game changed several times, as North Warren took a 5-2 lead after a four-run third inning. Bolton an-swered with two runs in the fifth, and North Warren responded immediately with three.

For Bolton, Josh Persons scored two runs and Django Denne had two hits for two at-bats.

The game was called off in the sixth inning due to rain.The Cougars were defeated 2-9 by Argyle on April 15, and lost

0-9 on April 8 to Fort Ann, which competed in the state champi-onship tournament last year.

Humiston noted that his team is now getting accustomed to playing outdoors, as they have been practicing indoors due to wet fields — as well as enduring freezing rain April 12.

Meal heralds spring’s arrivalLAKE GEORGE „ Saint James Episcopal Church is holding

its annual ñ Thank God Spring is Comingî dinner on Saturday April 20 at the church, located at 172 Ottawa St.

of volunteer opportunities available with LGLC, including with special events such as this summer Í s Hike-A-Thon.

Much more work remains to be done

A statewide $25 million project to expand high-speed internet access in rural New York through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program is welcome news.

The project includes $2.1 million to provide high-speed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the unserved areas of Schroon and North Hudson. The service will be delivered utilizing fiber to the home technology.

Also included is $557,000 for Essex County broadband service expansion. That money will pro-vide high-speed broadband service to households that do not have access in Jay and Wilmington, passing 1,900 homes. The project will also provide digital video services and potentially a competi-tive telephone service.

Statewide the projects will build approximately 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure and will provide high-speed internet service to 153,000 New York households, 8,000 businesses and 400 community anchor institutions.

While internet use has become the norm, itÍ s still not available in many areas. High-speed ser-vice, normally provided through cable companies, typically stops where cable television service ends. That means hundreds of rural areas remain without high-speed internet access.

High-speed internet expansion is crucial for the North Country, which faces the ñ digital divide.î The term was coined by sociologists to describe a split in American society between those with ac-cess to readily available information and those who do not. Most agree, people without access to the internet are at a disadvantage.

Information and communication technologies are vital in today’s world, just as reading was centuries ago. Internet access can impact education, economic equality, social mobility and a host of other issues. TodayÍ s students need the internet. Most employment applications are now found on line. Facebook, Twitter and other internet social media dominate todayÍ s society.

Internet access also benefits entire communities. It can lead to a healthier democracy through in-creased public participation in elections and decision making processes. It can also foster economic development and growth.

Bridging the ñ digital divideî is necessary in a democratic society, otherwise the United States runs the risk of becoming a nation of ñ havesî and ñ have nots.î The Connect NY Broadband Grant Program should be lauded for its efforts.

But thereÍ s work to be done. Even after the announcement in March of 18 Connect NY Broad-band Grant Program projects, many rural areas will remain without high-speed internet. The state awarded $25 million for internet expansion, but $89 million was requested. That left many North Country communities still lagging. LetÍ s hope the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program contin-ues until all of New York has the internet access it needs.

Internet expansion key for region

United 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 skir-mishes, but that, perhaps, would be expecting too much from those in control of our governments.

Two examples recently came to light. The first oc-curred 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 acknowl-edge a personÍ s contribution. The House of Representatives on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution honoring Thatcher. The tribute cited Thatcher Í s ñ life-long commit-ment to advancing freedom, liberty, and de-mocracy and for her friendship to the United States.î

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 Ro-chelle Armory.

It was after an official ceremony at the Ar-mory, 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 tradi-tion 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 Memori-

al and Patriotic Association of New Rochelle, the city manger decided he acted in haste

and rescinded his previous directive.

But the pettiness didnÍ t end there. The New Ro-chelle 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 presi-dent 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 groupÍ 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 countryÍ 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 en-gage 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 impor-tant 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 PartyÍ 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 whoÍ 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 par-ticipation.

Turning Back the PagesBy Jean Hadden

Athol-ThurmanBy Kathy Templeton

623-2967 - [email protected]

100 Years Ago - April 1913

Time before memory beganSince the big bridge between Glens Falls and

South Glens Falls went crashing into the tur-bulent Hudson River on March 27, 1913 before hundreds of onlookers, there has been much interest among historians about a previous bridge, the first bridge to ever cover that gorge. So many years have passed that nobody could be found who even remembered ever having seen it.

Eventually in Glens Falls a rare engraving by created in 1825 by a French artist, was found in the possession of C.H. Sherman of Bay Street and it is currently on exhibition in the depart-ment store window of B.B. Fowler in Glens Falls.

The bridge in the sketch is thought to be the first built over the Hudson River located near where the recent and more modern bridge went down. The Frenchman made a series of early sketches along the Hudson from Hadley south to Newburgh.

This first old wooden bridge was depicted as just wide enough for a team to pass over. It was cheaply constructed, the abutments being made of logs. The structure was evidently a toll bridge, as the toll house can be seen in the middle of the span. The date of its erection isnÍ t common knowledge.

In the old days the banks on both sides of the falls were lined with trees. The present site of the International Paper Co. plant was a forest and there was a large number of trees where Finch, Pruyn & Co.Í s mills now stand. There were only a few houses in the vicinity as seen from the engraving.

A mill, perhaps a saw mill or a grist mill is shown on the South Glens Falls side of the river. By 1828 the village had no more than 300 or 400 inhabitants.

Toll bridge had role in history[Note: The story of the later South Glens Falls

bridge (1890-1913), collapsing into the river af-ter being battered by high water and floating logs, was told in the March 23, 2013 Adirondack Journal. More information must have been

eventually found about the first toll bridge, as history books published later say it was built in 1804 by Warren Ferriss and lasted until 1833 when a new bridge was built for the benefit of the general public. In 1834 Harriet Martineau, a lady from Britain, toured the area and later wrote, ñ There is a long bridge over the roaring floods which vibrates incessantly and clusters of saw-mills deform the scene.î ]

Charles R. Bishop born on bridgeThe first Glens Falls bridge had a remark-

able connection to Warrensburgh. Three years before the ñ Frenchmanî executed his engraving of the bridge in 1825, Samuel Bishop worked in the toll booth on the bridge in the middle of the Hudson River, possibly for Warren Ferriss. It was in that booth that his wife, Maria Reed Bishop gave birth on Jan. 25, 1822 to their son, Charles Reed Bishop. Maria died two weeks later. Samuel died when his son was four.

Around 1826 Charles came to the frontier village of Warrensburgh, a village at that time only 13 years old, to live with his grandfather Bishop who had a 125-acre farm. Today this farm would have been in reality in the North Caldwell area, part of which would have been on the late Col. Ben Guiles property south of town. Charles worked on the farm tending ani-mals and he allegedly attended school in War-rensburgh, but this also could possibly have been across from the old North Caldwell Cem-etery. He was eventually hired in the village as a clerk at the mercantile company of Nelson J. Warren, the only child of James Warren, the vil-lageÍ s presumed namesake.

Bishop & Lee sailed to HawaiiCharles Reed BishopÍ s close friend was Wil-

liam Little Lee of Hudson Falls, whose sister, Eliza Lee had married CharlesÍ uncle, Linus Bishop. Charles convinced William that the way for them to make their fortune was to journey to the Oregon territory, the land of new opportu-nity „ and they took ship and sailed on Feb. 23, 1846. After sailing “around the horn” of South America, the ship stopped in Honolulu to take on provisions and the young adventurers were so taken with the Hawaiian Islands that they journeyed no farther.

Much against her parents wishes, Princess Bernice Pauahi Paki, a member of the Hawaiian royal family, became CharlesÍ wife. They had a child, Keolaokalani Davis. Bernice Bishop, 53, died in 1884.

Mrs. W.F. Allen, CharlesÍ niece, left Warrens-burgh to live in Hawaii at his invitation and sent back many artifacts to be displayed at the RichardsÍ Library and they are still there today.

Duo attains influence and fameWilliam Little Lee also did well in the islands

— he practiced law and became a chief justice of Hawaii as well as founding private property rights „ but he died in 1857 when he was only 36 years old. His body was shipped home and his impressive monument now stands in the Fort Edward cemetery.

Charles Reed Bishop, a dynamic hard work-er, achieved fame in Hawaii as a key founder of educational, banking and historic institutions. He also was an influential politician and philan-thropist. Bishop died June 7, 1914, at the age of 93 in San Francisco. His body was shipped back to Hawaii to be buried there beside his Hawai-ian wife.)

Lady escapes tyrantNews has been received from Hartzell, Colo.

of the divorce of Viva Harrington, a country schoolteacher and Ralph M. Harrington, a wealthy rancher. It is alleged that soon after their marriage he threw her on the floor and held her until she admitted he was boss. Then he forced flypaper into her mouth to close it. She was granted a divorce and alimony after telling her story to a judge.

Big log jam in the HudsonThe largest jam of logs ever known by river

men in the Hudson River has been lodged, the week of April 24, 1913, between Thurman and Stony Creek. The jam extends up the river four and a half miles, a solid mass of spruce pulp logs. Great difficulty is being experienced in breaking it up.

(Note: The controlled movement down the Hudson and Schroon rivers of masses of single logs began in the Adirondacks as early as 1813. Occasionally such a pile-up had to be dynamit-ed but usually seasoned log drivers preferred

to let brains and brawn get the logs moving. In the river many met their death in a roiling mass of logs.)

Charred body found in ruinsWilliam Merrill, for many years a prominent

businessman and leading citizen of the little hamlet of Bakers Mills in the town of Johns-burgh, was burned to death shortly after 1 a.m. April 8, 1913, in a fire that destroyed his store and residence and the nearby barn. Mrs. Merrill and her nephew, Edgar Cole, asleep in the up-per story, barely escaped with their lives.

Mr. Merrill had been sleeping for some time in the store and it was there the fire started. It is believed to have caught from a lantern the man was carrying about the building during the night while he was intoxicated. Rumors of arson and suicide are discredited.

Man dies sitting in a chairJoseph LaFlure, 73, one of the best and most

widely-known lumbermen in northern New York died the night of March 27, 1913 while seated in a chair in his home in Chestertown. He was talking with his daughter, Mrs. Eliza-beth Kittenbach, when he suddenly threw up his hands and fell backwards dead.

He was born in Canada in 1840 and had lived in Chester for 32 years where he had estab-lished for himself an enviable reputation as a businessman.

Man’s sleep disturbedWhen a small blaze in a coal vault beneath

the New York City house occupied by General Daniel Sickles filled the place with smoke and drove three other families into the street, the general became peevish when he was aroused by the firemen. He went back to bed and told the firefighters they could notify him if the blaze got any worse. Informed that the house was full of smoke, he said, ñ What do I care, I donÍ t want to be disturbed at this hour of the morning. If the flames come up into the house, you can notify me then.î

Lake Luzerne, Rachael grinned.“The Harvest is always my first stop,” she

said. ñ IÍ ve been going there for the same pizza since I was 12, and I still get the same pizza „ only now I get to sit at the bar and feel like a big kid!î

She continued that her other favorite lo-cal food-related destinations include the Lake George Bakery, Montcalm Restaurant and Ridge Terrace.

ñ But I like to cook at home when IÍ m home,î she laughed. ñ Maybe IÍ ll even get my mom to cook for me!î

Rachael said that despite her fame and in-fluence stemming from her Manhattan-based television show, she is happiest here in the Ad-irondacks.

ñ ItÍ s home and nothing feels better!î she said. ñ My favorite part is coming along Route 9 past the Great Escape and catching my first glimpse of those mountains.î

Rachael Ray said Aug. 12 that although she was staying for a week „ her version of spring break „ she has the food schedule for her mini-vacation planned to a ñ T,î including dinners like spinach lasagna and chicken fries.

ñ IÍ m always comfortable cooking „ They donÍ t make me, I like it,î she said. ñ I love go-ing out and meeting new people, but what IÍ ve

learned is that people are just people.”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,” she said. “It’s re-ally about the storytelling. I like to make meals that people feel they could easily make them-selves at home.î

While Rachael RayÍ s shows have featured such stars as President Bill Clinton, Julie An-drews, Clay Aiken, and Michael J. Fox, sheÍ s also hosted ordinary people „ welcoming them with similar cheerfulness, attention and charm.

ñ Our goal is to make famous people forget that their famous and make viewers feel like theyÍ re part of the program,î 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, ñ My Year In Meals,î Rachael said she plans to con-tinue writing her popular line of cookbooks, in-cluding two with her husband John Cusimano. She said she also plans to continue „ ñ Knock on wood!” she jokes — with the seventh season of her daily talk/cooking show.

SheÍ ll also be concentrating on the second season of ñ Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off,î a Food Network series with Rachael Ray and fellow television chef Guy Fieri mentoring two teams of celebrities, she said.

“It’s my most intense project yet,” she said.

Charlotte Woodfrom page 1

ñ I was a tomboy,î Charlotte said, recalling how she enjoyed fishing and hunting with fam-ily members „ both as a youth and an adult.

As a teenager, Charlotte lived temporarily in Warrensburgh „ she worked for room and board in town „ to attend Warrensburgh High School for a year, but returned to Johnsburg to finish up her education.

In her teens, she worked as a clerk for her fa-ther, Algie Pasco, in his butcher shop in North Creek.

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

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

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

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

In the 1950s, Charlotte worked at the Empire Shirt Factory on located on River St. in Warrens-burg „ now where Lizzie Keays Restaurant is located. That job was followed by employment at the Embassy Shirt Factory in Glens Falls „ in the building on Broad St. that was enlarged and converted several years ago into The Mill apart-ment complex.

Otis Rumble died in 1960, and 10 years later, Charlotte married Ernie Wood at the age of 57.

CharlotteÍ s daughter Cindy Lamb, with whom she now lives in Warrensburg, said this week that Charlotte spent her adult years tend-ing to others. She has 13 grandchildren, about 31 great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great grandchildren, Lamb said.

î Most of my momÍ s life, she took care of fam-ily members,î she said. ñ And she loved every minute of it.î

After sharing memories with people attend-ing her 100th birthday party, Charlotte shared the source of her longevity.

“Take each day as it comes — and enjoy it,” she said with a smile.

During her 100th birthday celebration Saturday, April 13, Charlotte (Pasco) Rumble Wood shared sentiments and memories with family members including grand-son Larry DeLoria (left), Joni Rumble Elifritz (rear) and Cindy Lamb (daughter).

Tax breaksfrom page 1

granted a 25 percent exemption the first year, followed by a 10 percent exemption the following three years, and 5 percent the next three years.

The new expanded exemption was initiated by Lake George Mayor Robert Blais. He said April 15 that Glens Falls Economic & Community Development Director Ed Bartholomew told him that a similar tax break in the city had spurred considerable up-grades to downtown Glens Falls.

The proposed ordinance is subject to a public hearing at 6 p.m. May 20.

Townhouse initiative defeatedAnother proposal to boost development in Lake George Vil-

lage didnÍ t garner the support April 15 that the tax exemption did.

An initiative to allow townhouses in R-1 residential zones in town was defeated by a 3-2 split vote.

Trustees John Root and Ray Perry who supported the change said that the initiative would encourage more young families to move into the village „ which would boost year-round activity and commerce as well as enhance the local quality of life.

But Blais raised concerns that allowing townhouses might worsen an existing problem with property owners renting their homes out on a weekly basis, which is now not permitted „ but is difficult to enforce.

Trustee Joe Mastrodomenico cast the decisive dissenting vote, noting that he was not necessarily against the measure, but sought time to examine what areas in the village would be most suitable for townhouses. He joined Blais and Deputy Mayor John Earl in defeating the townhouse proposal.

In other business, the village trustees:• approved an additional curb cut for a driveway at Lake

George Bed & Breakfast to allow its patrons better access. Al-though the change would displace two parking meters, Blais said they could be relocated to retain the revenue. The cost of $1,000 in materials is to be born by the venueÍ s proprietors.

• heard that the old railroad station across from the steel pier and owned by the Lake George Steamboat Co. has been named to the National Historic Register.

• approved a contract for fire protection in 2014 that repre-sents a modest decrease from the current year.

• were informed that the Beach Road reconstruction work was progressing. Curb construction on the lake side of the roadway

is to be completed this week, and construction of sidewalks is planned for next week. Paving of the road, with innovative permeable pavement, is to begin in about two weeks. Blais said he was receiving a lot of complaints from Lake George residents

about the trees being cut along lower West Brook „ and that the height of the new stonework where West Brook runs under Beach Road was excessive and would be blocking views.

Eight buildings were destroyed by fi re 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 Offi ce 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 fi re 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 fi re fi ghters. Rugs were spread over the side of the building nearest the fi re and kept constantly wet. Twice the clapboards ignited but watchful volunteers succeeded in promptly extinguishing the blaze. Masonic Hall, adjoining the hotel, also caught fi re 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 fi re. Much of it was of course ruined but the greater part was saved. When the fi re was at its height the fl ames leaped 100 feet into the air and sparks were carried a quarter of a mile.

A new masonry wall built where West Brook runs under Beach Road and empties into Lake George has prompted complaints from some local residents about its height — and how views of the lake might be blocked. The walled stream corridor is part of the Beach Road reconstruction project that is now under way. Curb construction on the lake side of the roadway is to be completed this week, and construction of sidewalks is planned for next week. Paving of the road, with innovative permeable pavement, is to begin in about two weeks.

Letters to the Editor

Academics aren’t the end-allTo the Editor: I am writing to comment on the full page ad placed in your

paper by the New York State United Teachers union.The ad states: ñ ItÍ s wrong for children to come home crying

after taking a test.î While they are referring specifically to the absurdity of impos-

ing new standardized testing on students before they have had a chance to prepare, I need to give it broader context.

Every night at midnight, my alarm goes off. I wake up and, after a strong cup of coffee, I go on Facebook and start messag-ing with high school kids who are just finishing their homework. By that time it is about 12:30 a.m. The students tell me often how appreciative they are that I am there to help them through their stress.

It shouldnÍ t be that way, and we are making it worse. We have lost our way. In Finland, widely considered to have the best school system in the world, they give no homework in high

school because they believe that a healthy child should have time for family and friends. In this country, we are talking about ex-tending the school day.

Our teen suicide rate is at frightening levels, but theirs is among the lowest in the world.

In Sweden, they teach no ABCÍ s or numbers counting until children are six years old. Instead, they promote socialization skills, self-esteem building, and nature activities. By the age of ten, their children score higher on every testable subject than ours in the U.S.. Yet in this country we are talking about a full-day pre-kindergarten, presumably to enhance academic skills.

Why must we demean a childÍ s inherent need for play in younger years and to grow through socialization as teens? Why are we more concerned (obsessed?) with our young people ac-quiring academic skills at an earlier age, then we are with their emotional well-being?

I invite parents to comment on my forum at: www.groups.ya-hoo.com/group/myteenisincrisisandsoami/.

It is only through unity that we can stop this insanity „ the ridiculous race to educate that we have recently embraced. I may use some of your comments anonymously at my talk in May, to which you are all invited. My presentation is to be held at the Crandall auditorium May 8, from 6 to 8 PM and is titled “We are Destroying our Youth.î

We will talk about advocating for your child, building stron-ger communication between parent and child, and much more. The following week there will be a parent workshop „ I will provide details on that event at the presentation.

There is power in unity, and unity is something government often fears.

Intent of zoning group compromised?To the Editor: I was a member of the Lake George Village Zoning Steering

Committee, tasked with recommending zoning changes. I am now compelled to express my opinion on what happened during that process.

A committee of nine members was appointed by Mayor Blais and the Village Board. It included two Village Board members, three from the zoning board, two from the planning board, one from the Lake George town board, and one citizen. It didnÍ t take long before it was obvious that something was amiss!

Dave Kenny, the developer for a proposed six-story hotel was continually vocal at meetings and “selling” his proposed project. It was quite obvious that certain committee members were very supportive of the proposed project. I complained to the Mayor about this.

We received a letter from the Mayor stating that he had in-structed the developer to stop addressing the committee.

The committee composition, especially concerning the two elected village Trustees, was questioned and Mayor Blais along with the committee members, received a memorandum on Dec 5, 2012 from Village Planning and Zoning Counsel Mark Schach-ner.

In part, this memo stated ñ While such attendance and/or par-ticipation is not unlawful, it is generally considered more appro-priate for elected officials to not attend or participate in these types of meetings.î It also stated ñ ƒ to the extent that a com-mittee meeting includes discussion ƒ of a particular application for a particular property, participation in this sort of discussion by Planning Board or ZBA members could create a troublesome ethical issueƒ î

The committee met on Dec. 11. In a stunning move, the chair-man wrapped up the short meeting saying enough information had been gathered, he would write it up to present to the Board, and called an end to the committee.

It was always the intent of the committee to exclude properties on the lake side. Much has changed since then.

Fire and ashSpring 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 winter Í s worth of cleanings, probably 5 to 10 buckets worth.

Whoa, letÍ 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 „ trees! This so called waste product has many uses.

First let’s look at where it came from, and then we will fi g-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 fi nally to old age, unless Mr. Stihl or Mr. Husqvarna decide to intervene, and turn the tree into a log for boards or for fi re wood. Cull-ing out damaged, diseased or inferior species of trees for fi rewood 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 trans-ported 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 fl oating 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, IÍ m trying to keep it simple). Photosynthesis is the process where solar energy is converted to chemical energy. Car-bon 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, fl ower, 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 fi ction.

So, you had your dry fi rewood (clean wood, no paint or wood preservatives) stacked up. You’ve handled it 3, 4 or 5 times now and it’s fi nally made it to the stove. The fi nal 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 oxy-gen from the air. Parts of the wood like sap and resins have greater deposits of glucose which is a volatile compound, making it very fl ammable. The carbon and minerals are resistant to burning. ThatÍ s what your ash is composed of, the left over products of combustion that didnÍ 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 min-erals 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 donÍ t want to try growing acid loving plants like blueberries in neutral, alkaline soils. Most of the recommendations IÍ 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 fi re 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 fi re is com-pletely out before you use it. As a fi refi ghter 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 donÍ 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 com-post 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 dur-ing 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 natureÍ 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 fi sh 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 fi rst. You are on your own on this one.

After waiting and watching for the backwoods ponds to shed winter Í s hard cap, I couldnÍ t take it anymore.

Two full weeks had passed since the Opening Day of trout season and I’d fi nally had enough.

So, I loaded up a boat, packed the usual gear including rods, net, PFD, and a fi shing vest bulging with a pile of my fi nest fl ies, lies and lures.

I also tossed in a pair of snowshoes in for good measure, before setting off to fi nd 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 im-poundment 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 fi rm 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 fl oat 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 expo-sure, 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 werenÍ t working so well this year.

Although there was enough of an opening near the inlet to fl oat a boat, I knew the depth of the open water was more conducive to wad-ing 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, ea-gles and osprey. However, there were no three-toed tracks in the mud or the sand.

However, I still took a couple of dozen com-pulsory casts, and I even tossed out a bobber with a worm dangling below in an effort to at-tract any type of fi nned 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 snow-mobile traffi c. 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 mis-sion.

The region’s signifi cant snowpack discour-aged 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, fi rmly covered.

I did get to wet a line in the St. Regis River, which is directly across the road from Black PondÍ s parking area. In year Í s past, IÍ 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, in-cluding 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 IÍ 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 fi shing holes on the way to Tupper, and head-ed directly to Bog River Falls. The location is a beautiful sight, and in the early season it at-tracts a variety of fi sh species including pike, bass, lake trout, salmon and the occasional brook trout.

Due to the shallow waters and the turbu-lence of the frothing falls, the south end of the lake warms up sooner than the rest of the fl ow; which often results in active fi sh. 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 didnÍ 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 orna-ments like a redneck C h r i s t m a s tree. I discov-ered nearly a dozen lures and spoons tangled up in the mess, in-cluding sev-eral, brand new jointed Rapalas, a few spinner baits and several Daredevils. IÍ ve lost my share of fl ies and lures to the trees over the years, so it was nice to get a few back.

In the future, IÍ ll pay more attention to the surrounding canopy before I set off. IÍ m more likely to replenish my tackle box than catch fi sh.

After a long day of searching for fi sh, I fi nally turned toward home. It was late in the after-noon when I got back, and I was still anxious to land the fi st 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 fl yrod 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 fi sh.

However, I did manage to greet an angry bea-ver 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 IÍ m will-ing to take my licks, nicks and kicks. ThatÍ s the way I fi gure it.

Woman’s Fly Fishing SeminarOver the years’ I’ve had the pleasure of fi sh-

ing with many competent fl yfi shemen. How-ever, there have also been many women among the fl yfi sher ‘men’, I’ve accompanied.

IÍ 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 ï bullingÍ their way through it.

Women are also better listeners and are will-ing to ask questions when they donÍ t under-stand. Most importantly, they usually havenÍ t developed the bad habit of attempting to ac-complish a cast by ï throwing the footballÍ . 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 fl yrod, which is a recipe for failure.

There is now an opportunity for women in-terested in learning the sport, to get some solid hands-on training. The Lake Champlain Chap-ter of Trout Unlimited will be sponsoring a two-day fl y- fi shing seminar for women June 22nd and 23rd on the Saranac River in Plattsburgh.

Program Coordinator Janice Opal explained, ñ This seminar is geared exclusively for women looking to begin or improve their fl y-fi shing skills. It will cover instruction from beginner to advanced stages of fl y-fi shing, fl y fi shing tips and tactics, and hands-on instruction per-taining to Lake Champlain tributary-style fi sh-ing, which can also be applied to many other streams, creeks and rivers.î

Opal said the seminar will take place in a re-laxed atmosphere where participants will learn how stream entomology applies to tying fl ies that fi sh species eat, beginner fl y-tying, and how to rig and make casts using traditional fl y rods and reels.

The deadline to register is June 8. Registra-tion is $50. Participants must be age 18 or older and must have a current New York State fi sh-ing license. The seminar is limited to 12 partici-pants. 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 sem-inar, including rods and reels, but those who have a good, working fl y rod set-up should bring it.

Trout Unlimited is reaching out to women anglers this year offering a one year introduc-tory 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

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 Sec-tion 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 fi ve starters returning from a year ago when the club posted a 14-8 record and won the Champlain Valley Athletic Confer-ence Division II title. Ti advanced to the state tournament, winning a fi rst 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 Aus-tin and Tan-ner 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. Jor-dan Woods is also a three-

year starter.”Austin hit .451 and had 19

runs batted in to pace the Sen-tinels last spring.

He’ll by joined on the in-fi eld by Denno, Mark Dono-hue, Michael Graney, Ryan Trudeau and Blake Gautreau.

The outfi eld will feature Woods, Wright, Costello, An-thony 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 de-fense and buy into the concept of the team and we hope to be competitive in every game,” Dorsett said.

Helping Dorsett in the dug-out will be assistant coaches Rick McClintock and Scott Nephew.

Youth to be served on Ti track team


TICONDEROGA — Young athletes will have an opportunity to shine on the Ticonderoga girls track team this spring.

The Sentinels will fi eld 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 weak-ness, with a team made up of four experienced athletes and 11 fi rst time athletes — 8 who did indoor track,” he said. “We have a lot of holes to fi ll.”

The Sentinels posted a 3-4 record in 2012.Leading Ti this season will be Naomi Forkas, a state cham-

pionship race qualifi er in cross country and indoor track.

Forkas will be joined in the distance races by Rebecca Bar-ber, Ashlynn LaPerle and Liz Aranquiz. All ran cross coun-try for the locals.

Aspen Olcott, McKenzie Price, Constance Bailey, Lillith Ida, Natasha LaFrance, McK-insey Price,Haley Kuhl, Casey Hargett, Meg McDonald and Cassidy McKee will line up in the sprints and jumps.

Josie Worley and Kady Sharrow will throw for the Sentinels.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 softball just keeps rolling along.

The Sentinels will look to defend their Cham-plain 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 ar-ea’s top pitchers, return for the Sentinels along with their catcher Katie Palandrani.

The infi eld fi gures to be solid with Meg Campney, Lexi Moore, Jaelyn Granger and Tay-lor 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 out-fi eld. She’s joined by newcomers Logan Mars, Sadie Hamel and Jenette Coon.

“This year we return two experienced pitch-ers along with a catcher,” said Shelly Young, who co-coaches the team with Shannon Huntington.

“We will need to fi ll three s t a r t i n g p o s i t i o n s and we are looking for players to step up. We look to defend our title, but it will re-quire hard work and desire to win.”

Ticond-eroga’s co-coach ar-rangement is unusual, but successful. Young and Hun-tington led Ticonderoga to a 17-6 overall mark in 2012 and are 136-36 overall in their 10 years sharing the bench duties. They have a 118-13 CVAC record.

Ti has 19 track athletes returning


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 fi nished eighth in the 60-meter hurdles at the New Balance Indoor Track & Field National Champion-ships 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 Associa-tion 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 semifi nal 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 fi nishing 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 fi rst 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 Coffi n.

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

section championship cross country team last fall that took fi fth place at the state championship race.

“I expect our boys team to be competitive in the section this season, Thorne said. “At-titude, team balance with 19 returning athletes from last year’s outdoor team and six new members will be our main strength.

“The distance team will be led by Javeed Nazir, Kody Quigley, Shawn Silliman, Ryan Price, who had a very good in-door season,” he added. “Our sprinters will be led by Jay He-bert, 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.

Moriah now in Class D


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 Tour-nament 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, Da-kota 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, Mar-cotte third base, Greenough the outfi eld, Rancour fi rst base and Clarke fi rst base and the outfi eld.

Adkins will roam the outfi eld and Petro will man shortstop.New to the club this spring are C.J. Raymond, Austin Allen,

Jarred MacDougal, Gage Denton, Sam Russo and Brandon Chappell.

Raymond will catch. Allen and MacDougal will pitch and play the outfi eld. Denton will be a designated hit-ter. Russo will play the middle infi eld and outfi eld. Chap-pell is an outfi elder.

Assisting Nephew on the bench this season are coaches Jimmy Langey and Tim Breeyear.

PORT HENRY — The Moriah golf team has some holes to fi ll this spring, but the cupboard isn’t bare.

The Vikings lost three of their top scor-ers — Landon Cross, Carlo Calabrese and Keith Ida — from last season’s 6-4 Cham-plain Valley Athletic Conference team.

But there’s good news. Three regulars return. Dylan Scozzafava, Derek Bras-sard 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 Bras-sard, 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 fi lled due to graduation. The key to our success will be round-ing out the top six with three players that can shoot consistently.”

SCHROON LAKE — When the Schroon Lake baseball team steps on the fi eld for its fi rst game of the season, it will be a victory for the Wildcats.

Schroon Lake was nearly forced to cancel the 2013 season be-cause of a lack of players.

After considering options, the ‘Cats will fi eld 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 benefi t 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 fi rst base. DeZalia will pitch and play second. Wilson will split time be-tween second and the outfi eld. Gardner is a utility player.

Also returning are Eric Paradis, Logan Mitchell and Chris Barror.

Paradis will pitch and play in the out-fi eld. Mitchell will man fi rst base and roam the outfi eld. Barror will catch and play in the out-fi eld.

New to the club are Brandon Du-gan, Derek DeZalia, Cole Anauo and Braden Hall. Du-gan is an outfi elder. DeZalia, Anauo and Hall are utility players, which will give Sharp fl exibil-ity with a limited roster.

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 fi rst 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 poten-

tial 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 fl exibility and we have many play-ers 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 infi eld will be DeZore Cleveland, Brooke Wheeler,

Dakota Gadway, Joelle Kowalka, Fiore and Wisser.The outfi eld 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 modifi ed level with Coach (Lee) Silvernail.

“I look forward to getting these kids into game action,” he con-cluded.

Jay Wells now the coach


TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga golf team has a new coach at the helm.

Jay Wells, best known as an outstanding Senti-nel runner who became a cross country and track coach, now leads the Ti golf team. He replaces long-time mentor John Dreimiller, who has re-tired.

“We look forward to improving as a team this season and building upon the foundation that was solidly built under Coach John Dreimiller,” Wells said.

The 2013 Sentinel golf team includes Michaela Baker, Cody Henthorn, Jacob Young, Karney Manning, Nick Bezon, Tylor Jordan, Tucker Ward,

Brandon Wright, Adam Geiser and Zeshan Afzal.

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 fi rst 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 infi eld. Stahl will man shortstop and Fleury will roam the outfi eld and play some infi eld.

“It’s a strong core group of returners,” Simpson said. “ I’m look-ing 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 Lash-way, Ashley Shores, Blake Bigelow, Caitlin Pelkey, Kayla Curran,

Shelby MacDougal, Courtney Burch and Nicole French.

“We have not been able to get outside to feel out where to put the girls on the fi eld,” Simpson said. “The majority of them played on modifi ed last season.”

Assisting Simp-son on the bench will be assistant coach Don Tesar.

Coach Mike Ross retires


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 fi ll 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 tech-niques.”

Ross was kind enough to leave the Panthers with a talented, vet-eran roster.

“We have high expectations to be at the top of the MVAC (Moun-tain and Valley Athletic Conference) again this year,” Coach Macey said. “I have seven starters returning this year that will bring expe-rience, confi dence 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,

posting a 14-2 record on the mound. She was dominant, fanning 160 batters in 16 games. She also hit .508.

Foote was a MVAC fi rst team all star at shortstop last season. She led the Panthers with a .519 bat-ting average.

Maria Malone returns to give Crown Point pitching depth.

The entire infi eld re-turns with Foote at short-stop, Logan Harrington at third base, Ellen Kiely at fi rst base, Malone at second when not pitching and Macey at fi rst when not in the pitching circle.

Taylor Booth and Hunter Spaulding return to catch.The outfi eld features Spaulding when not catching, veteran Ta-

sha Hay and rookies Morgan Macey, Shelby McGuinness, Abby Carpenter and Hannah Landry.

Assisting Coach Macey on the bench this spring will be Todd Malone, Jesse Harrington and Jack Harrington. rience, confi dence and ability forward into this year.

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 fi nals, beating several top-seeded teams along the way.

After losing John Joseph, Mike Curtis and others to graduation, the team experienced a rebuilding year that had a dreary 0-5 start — but the team rebounded, fi nishing off with a respectable 9-7 re-cord in the Adiron-dack League and 9-9 overall.

This year, the team lost no less than six seniors to graduation: Lucas Nelson, Tyler Wil-liams, 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 short-stop; plus sophomores Shea Irish, pitcher and third baseman; and Marcus Perrone, shortstop, pitcher and outfi eld. They are joined by senior Nolan Maltbie as fi rst baseman and pitcher, seniors Jeff Ben-tham in center fi eld, Beecher Baker on second base, Pep Perrone as catcher, with Will Yarmowich and Joe Brunelle in the outfi eld. 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-pow-erful 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’ ev-

ery 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.”

WARRENSBURG — Last season represented a formidable chal-lenge 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 load-ed with solid athletes, many of them competing in three sports.

The team’s goals in-clude reversing their 2012 record of 5-12, win the Adirondack League Western Division, then compete in Sectionals — they didn’t qualify last season.

The Burghers have the roster, loaded with ath-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 ef-fective 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; Chi-ara Russo, fi rst base; Braydin Smith, left fi eld; and Amy Toolan, center fi eld. Besides Morehouse and Baker, juniors feature Merissa Hayes, second base/outfi eld; Kerrigan Roth, third base; Josie Stone, utility; Whitney Markwica, pitcher/outfi eld; Nazareth Goucher, outfi eld; and Kate Morehouse, outfi eld. They are joined by Sopho-more Liz Turner, utility; and Freshman Erin Langworthy, outfi eld and second base.

Key to success this year will be strong batting, Bump said.“We are a much more confi dent 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 offen-sively and defensively.”

On the mound will be Mika Morehouse, a Junior, who will be

BOLTON LANDING — In 2012, the Bolton High School Varsity Baseball Team was loaded with young, relatively inexperienced players.

Up against far larger schools in the competitive Adirondack League, the youthful players had a tough time, but they put up a good fi ght, although the season tally of 3-12 was discouraging.

This year, the battle-scarred Eagles are likely to take a substantial step forward, as they put their game experience and improved skills to use, coach Mark Andre-jkovics said this week.

“The players have put a lot of time into our off-season practices and clinics and are confi dent in being a tough team,” he said noting their athleticism. “We will be a very aggressive team at the plate and on the base paths.”

Experienced veterans will be leading the way for the younger players, he added.

“Senior leadership from our catcher Hunter Brown and our fi rst basemen Carl Ciccarelli will

be important in molding our younger players,” he said. Hunter is considered an anchor for the team play, and Ciccarelli, with his long reach, has great defensive skills.

Two other seniors will be mentoring the team this year: Dustin French, who handles his short-stop duties with expertise as well as providing solid pitching; and Kevin Pratt, an experienced

ballplayer in center fi eld. Andrejkovics said the team will be rely-ing on them for solid hitting as well as their defensive work.

“Both Kevin and Dustin will play a ma-jor role this season providing both power at the plate and on the mound,” he said.

These experienced 12th graders will be backed up with four veteran juniors: start-

ing pitcher Josh Persons, the athletic duo of Sam Cady and Django Denne — a left-handed batter — as well as Alex Maxam, lending his skills as backup pitcher and at third base.

They are joined by junior Kevin Wholey, who was one of the top Junior Varsity players last year, and is slated for second base.

This lineup, with their strong defense, will

likely be playing with remarkably fewer errors, which posed a problem in 2013, Andrejkovics said.

“The kids realize the importance of limiting ex-tra outs and the free passes,” he said.

On the mound in 2012, Persons gained a lot of experience, School Superintendent Ray Ciccarelli said.

“He’s versatile, a complete player both offen-sively and defensively, and he’s got a good head on his shoulders,” he said.

Joe Connery and Ben Blanchard, who both have promise, are likely to make key contribu-tions, he continued.

Ciccarelli said that coach Mark Andrejkovics and Luke Schweickert both worked hard in 2012 and this year developing the athletes’ skills, as well as encouraging them toward their goals.

“Both coaches have tremendous experience, and the kids’ attitudes have been great — they are very positive regardless of last year’s record,” he said.

Andrejkovics said he’s looking forward to the season, which has a lot of promise.

“This year the players are very athletic and this provides us with fl exibility defensively and on the mound,” he said.

BOLTON LANDING — The Bolton Eagles Var-sity softball team may have a lot of young play-ers, but their youth is offset by a dedication to the sport and a will to win, new Varsity Coach Kristen DePace said this week. DePace was a three-sport athlete who graduated from Bolton Central in 2001.

That’s not the full story about this squad, how-ever. DePace’s guarded optimism about the team’s 2013 season may be a matter of modesty — her team is loaded with area all-star athletes, award-ed for substantial accomplishments in soccer and other sports.

This talented lineup will offset the loss to gradu-ation of stellar pitcher Tori Persons and her athletic teammates Rosie Denne and Marie DeLorenzo.

The Eagles secret weapon this year may be se-nior Maddy Wilson, who’s been sidelined from softball for a few years due to injuries. She’s the lead pitcher, backed up on the mound by sophomore Olivia Seamans.

DePace described Seamans as versatile and having a strong bat.“Olivia can be placed anywhere she is needed on the fi eld,” the coach said. “And Maddy is

CHESTERTOWN — North Warren High School has tradition-ally developed solid athletes, who have per-formed way beyond expectations for schools with such small enrollment.

North Warren’s baseball, basketball, cross-country, tennis, softball, and fi eld hockey teams have all \underscored this point in recent years, achieving considerable success.

Area fans will never forget the North Warren baseball team of 2008 that had a fair season, but ended it with a fl ourish, defeat-ing far-higher ranked teams in the Section II tournament, taking their winning campaign all the way to the tournament fi nals.

Last year, the team was relatively young, and their win-loss record refl ected the situa-tion. But this year the entire lineup — except for star athlete Kristian Seeley — returns with a wealth of experi-ence.

Considering his deep roster of veterans, twelve-year head coach

Jason Humiston has high expectations, despite the relatively low number of hits and runs the 2012 team produced.

“We have the pitching and defense to stay in games,” he said, noting that each season poses new uncertainties.“The biggest question is whether we have enough fi repower offensively to win

games.”Humiston, who’s always focused on im-

proving his athletes, often sounds less than effusive about his teams — even when they are on a winning streak. This week, he ex-pressed a warning. Coming from Humis-ton, some might interpret it as optimism.

“We must have more offense if we are to improve,” he said. “Also, pitching and de-fense must be more consistent.”

Last season, six players hit under .200. It’s a new year, however, and the baseball players are concentrating on conditioning and developing their skills.

Area fans, knowing the baseball team has been working hard under the mentorship of Humiston and his assistant coaches, have high hopes.

The 2013 starting lineup features Robert Vaisey as pitcher; Ethan

Schenke at shortstop; Robert French, catcher; Colby May, fi rst base; Chris DeFranco, second base; Jacob Hill, center fi eld; Daren Grang-er, left fi eld; Christiaan Van Nispen, right fi eld; 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.

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 substan-tial.

Coach Jeremy Whipple, however, is yet hopeful — in the tradi-tion of Cougar teams.

Despite the loss to graduation of in-fi elders Nicole Parker and Kateryna Strauss and starting pitcher Charissa Cronk, the remaining players are taking on the new season with resolve.

Pitching for the team will be sopho-more Taylor Olson, now one year re-moved from ACL surgery. Whipple said Olson has been very focused on working her way back to the mound.

“We need Taylor to throw consistent strikes,” he said.

Laura Tennyson, a senior infi elder, is shifting from behind the plate to infi eld.

LAKE GEORGE — For years, the Lake George High School Base-ball Team has been a powerhouse.

Having captured three championship titles in the last fi ve sea-sons, Lake George has proven the strength of their baseball program — the legendary Warrior will-to-win, the school’s coach-ing expertise, and the players’ annual dedication to skill development and conditioning.

In 2012, the War-rior baseball team had struggled some 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 tourna-ment. Seeded no. 5, the gritty Warriors beat No. 1 Greenwich — which had in 2011 competed in the state tourney — in the Class CC semifi nals by a convincing score of 9-1 in a fan-pleasing upset vic-tory. 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 lim-ited loss, the Warriors’ 2013 squad is now loaded with experience.

Key in those 2012 tournament wins was the outstanding pitch-er 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 ath-letic Willy Blunt, who’s now entering his fourth season on Varsity.

He batted .449 last season. He’s likely to be in center fi eld for 2013.Although the roster is a little thin, the players are versatile, tal-

ented and determined. Take as an example Craig Keenan, a sopho-more 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.”

but rallied at the conclusion to win the Adirondack League title,

TalentaboundsforWarriors,thereigningALchampions


LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Girls Softball team enjoys an outstanding legacy that stretches back decades, and this year, local fans are anticipating a strong sea-son to continue that tradition.

In 2012, the Warriors — combining strong defense and timely hitting — won the Ad-irondack League title, culminating in a scrappy battle with Argyle. The victory was the high point in a season that tallied a 13-3 record in the highly competitive league.

Although four accomplished athletes graduated last June — 2012 area All-Stars Chelsea Sipowicz, Amanda Chambers, Re-becca Kandora and Jamie Jarrett — there’s plenty of talent remaining, Warrior coach Kyle Manny said this week.

“We have a pretty good number of expe-rienced athletes returning and some young players moving up,” he said.

Leading the campaign on the mound will be Amy Sander —

also named a 2012 area All-Star — who not only has a solid pitch-ing record, but is a good all-around player, Manny said.

“Amy’s a hard worker, and she hits to locations well, scoring some runs last year,” he said.

Manny continued that when she pitched in 2012, Sander mixed her vari-ous pitches well and had plenty of strike-outs, with the benefi t of a strong defense backing her up.

Brittany Motta and Cassie Sipowicz, both junior veterans, will be among the players playing key roles on defense this year.

The team will also be relying on Senior Kelsey Alfonso, who had the highest bat-ting average last year, Manny said.

“Kelsey is a standout on offense,” he said, noting she will be leading a lineup of power hitters.

Manny is also expecting athletic play and strong batting from senior catcher

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 hit-ting, 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 play-ing — 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.

“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 in-fielder 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 becom-ing 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.”

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 slat-

ed 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.”

NEWCOMB — At fi rst glance, a 16-player roster for the Mi-nerva-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 fi rst question mark is the group of six international stu-dents. They’ve never played baseball before.

“It’s more of a challenge for me be-cause when you’re coach-ing at the var-sity level and you end up having to deal with some of the most basic skills that are usu-ally done at Little League level, it kind of slows things down at times,” LaCourse said. “I’ve decided they’re just going to have to basi-cally 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 po-tential 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

want to get out there when he’s hitting because he’s just cremat-ing it.”

Another challenge this year has been the weather, with snow on the ball fi eld 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 fi eld “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 fl y 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 New-comb 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 An-drew Sponable, Mickey Johnson, Steven Viele, Dustin Saville and Elias Ahrens; juniors Jorge Bertomeau, Borja Martinez, Alex Ru-zbacki, Jacob Galusha and Marco Silvo; and seniors Tyler Click-ner, 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 sched-uled for Friday, April 19 in Elizabethtown and Saturday, April 20 at home against Chazy.

MINERVA — Like most Adirondack high school ball teams, the wintry spring weather has been a real hardship for Coach Bruce McGinn and his Minerva-Newcomb varsity softball team.

“Our biggest weakness right now is our inability to be out in the fi eld to have these new girls be up to speed on what happens

at the varsity level,” McGinn said. “It’s hard to do the game-sit-uation 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

LONG LAKE — One of the newest members of the Indian Lake-Long Lake varsity softball team will be the coach, Long Lake Town Highway Superintendent Chip Farr.

This is Farr’s fi rst year of coaching, ever, but he’s no stranger to the ball fi eld.

“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 for a coach I decided to put my name in.”

Like other local softball and baseball coaches, Farr has had to deal with the fi ckle spring weather this year.

“We’ve just been practicing inside and doing what we can do inside,” Farr said. “We have a hit-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 fi eld in Long Lake was snow-free.

“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 expe-

rience. The team didn’t lose one player to graduation in 2012 be-cause 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.

Only freshman Madelyn Penrose is new to the rotation.“They all hit pretty strong so far,” Farr said. “We’ve only been

outside twice, so it’s kind of hard to tell.”The leader of the pack — for pitching and hitting — is Emma

Gray, who will be backed up on the mound by Madison Miller. “I think we can be very competitive in this league,” Farr said.Here is the roster for the 2013 Lady Orange: seniors Emma Gray

(P), Jessica Bain (OF), Meg Smith (OF), Emily Waters (2B) and Pru-dence Dechene (OF); juniors Shannon Farrell (3B), Rayna Hamdan (C), Jazmin Piraino (IF), and Shaneka Burch (1B); sophomore Madi-son Miller (SS); and freshman Madelyn Penrose (OF).

The Lady Orange was expected to open the season on the road, playing in Keene on Wednesday, April 17 and in Chazy on Friday, April 19.

NORTH CREEK — After losing longtime varsity baseball coach Tim Leach at the end of the 2012 season, Johnsburg Jag-uar fans are putting their faith in fi rst-time coach Ryan Carpen-ter, who took over Leach’s teaching job at the beginning of the school year.

“I am excited to be a fi rst 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 dif-ferent — a new spark. I have been trying to give them that spark. I have been trying to instill a hard work ethic in the kids, and so far, I think they are responding pretty well. I am just hoping it pays off and makes for a successful sea-son.”

Overall, the Jaguars will fi eld 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 Brad-way.

“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 fi ve-man pitching rota-tion. With Weller, Harrison and Taylor Ordway gone — plus sophomore Andrew Sponable, who now plays for the Minerva-Newcomb 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 Coo-per (OF), Nate Prouty (IF), Mark Cleveland (C), Kyle LaBoun-ty (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 Wat-son, 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.

NORTH CREEK — Johnsburg Central School teacher Phil Goodman returns for his 16th year as the coach of the Lady Jag-uars varsity softball team.

The team lost fi ve 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 infi eld should be good, and the out-fi eld should improve if we ever are able to get outside where we can practice some fl y balls and positioning.”

Coach Good-man is looking to Astasia Myler to help out the team. She’s a key player and has the potential to become one of the strongest hitters and fi eld players they’ve ever had, he said.

“ C o u r t n e y Allard and Brooke Denno are a strong bat-tery for us, and along with Anna Gahan should provide us with senior leadership,” Goodman said. “We think that freshman pitcher MaKayla Denno has the potential to become a strong pitcher for us for the next four years as she gains varsity experi-ence.”

Here is the starting lineup for the 2013 Lady Jaguars: sopho-more Valerie Gereau (2B), sophomore Astasia Myler (SS), senior Brooke Denno (C), freshman MaKayla Denno (DP), senior Anna Gahan (1B), sophomore EmmaLee Ellsworth (3B), junior Karlee Square (RF), sophomore Laura Richards (LF), senior Alyssa Mul-vey (CF), and junior Courtney Allard (FLEX/P).

Rounding out the roster are senior Jessica Morehouse; juniors Morgan Amell and Shiloh Wood; and sophomores Montana Berg, Elizabeth Ordway and Meghan Pierson.

The Lady Jaguars expected to open their season Wednesday, April 17 in Minerva and were scheduled to play in Westport on Friday, April 19.

LONG LAKE — Long Lake Central School teacher David Olbert returns to coach the Or-ange varsity baseball team this year in the hope of winning the division again and improving on the team’s 9-4 record.

The Orange could have a good shot at it; they lost only two seniors to graduation in 2012: fi rst baseman Kevin Boya and center fi elder Sam Miller.

“Along with several newcom-

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 diffi cult to beat.”

Eight of the 14 players on the Orange roster will be return-ing 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

McMurty may also offer some help on the mound.”

The Orange were expected to open their sea-son at Keene on Wednesday, April 17 and had a game scheduled for Friday, April 19 in Chazy.

The Chazy Ea-gles beat the Or-ange in the quar-terfi nals last year.

right in the hunt.”The team saw the following seniors gradu-

ate 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 Ash-ley 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 fi rst 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 Moun-taineers: Dakota Bennett (shortstop), Maken-zie Winslow (3B), Shelby Hogan (P/1B), Chey-enne Williams (1B/P), Gabrielle McNally (LF), Mary LaBar (2B), Ashley Miller (CF), sopho-more Angela McCall (C/RF) and Danielle Mc-Nally (RF/C/P).

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

juniors Caitlyn Yandon and Rebecca Marra; and senior Natasha Cartnonis.

The Lady Mountaineers expected to open their season Wednesday, April 17 at home against the Johnsburg Lady Jaguars and were scheduled to play in Elizabethtown on Friday, April 19 and at home against Chazy on Satur-day, April 20. McGinn expects to have tough competition this year from the Indian Lake-Long Lake team.
