Warren County voters head to polls

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY Ñ In the Sept. 10 Primary election, voters throughout Warren County will be choosing candidates for a variety of local public offices.

In the contest for two town board seats in Lake George, three candidates will be competing in the primary to be the Republican partyÕ s nominees in November.

Incumbent councilman Vinnie Crocitto (Rep., Indpc.), is challenged by former county Public Works chief Fred Austin

(Rep., Indpc.) and retired teacher Nancy Stannard (Rep.).

Kevin J. Mulcahy (Ind.) will be on the ballot in November as an independent candidate for the seat. If Stannard is not one of the top two vote getters, she wonÕ t appear on the ballot in November.

In the towns of Bolton, Horicon and Stony Creek, there are no primary races for the position of town Supervisor.

But in November, two-term incumbent Town Supervisor Ron Conover (Rep., Indpc.), retired from the post of Director of Planning and Community Development for Rome, NY, faces a challenge by

Kam Hoopes (Ind.), a former local Zoning Board of Appeals member and retired Finch-Pruyne executive.

In Horicon, relatively new town board member Matthew J. Simpson (Rep., Indpc.) is running unchallenged for the position of town supervisor, with longtime supervisor Ralph Bentley slated for retirement. But thereÕ s a three-way contest occurring in November for two Horicon town board seats in November, bypassing the September Primary.

Bloated Toe Publishing film upcoming NBC feature

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ ThereÕ s an old journalism adage that says Ò If It Bleeds It Leads.Ó That same philosophy has led Bloated Toe Publishing to the verge of prime time.

Local author and publisher Larry Gooley Ñ a regular participant at annual author fairs in Long Lake, Indian Lake and North Creek Ñ has written and self-published numerous books, from histories of local North Country places like Lyon Mountain and Altona, to the Adirondack Literary Award-winning Ò OliverÕ s War.Ó But itÕ s GooleyÕ s numerous stories featuring North Country murders that are currently garnering the most attention.

Gooley, along with Jill Jones, his partner at Bloated Toe, were recently contacted by a representative from NBC, who wanted to use one of the stories from GooleyÕ s 2012 book, Ò 25 Diabolical Adirondack Murders: The Twisted, Fiendish Deeds of Adirondack Killers,Ó for an upcoming segment on their Discovery ID channel. Ò We got a call...it actually said Ô National Broadcasting CompanyÕ on the caller ID,Ó said Jones about the July phone call they received at their office. “We figured it was just a telemarketer, so we didnÕ t want to answer the phone. I answered it, and it was someone from 30 Rock.Ó Not only did they want to use the story, they wanted Gooley to narrate part of the story.

Gooley and Jones were flown to New York City, and traveled to the studio at the National Arts Club across from 30 Rockefeller Center by limousine. They spent the better part of a day filming Gooley for the segment, and the rest of the day exploring Manhattan. Ò It was pretty interesting to watch. TheyÕ re so fussy about everything,Ó said Gooley. Ò You give the perfect answer, and you think Ô there, I nailed that one,Õ and then theyÕ d say Ô no, do it again, there was a truck backing up.Õ Ó They are not at liberty to say the name of the upcoming show

because the name hasn’t been finalized, but it is “in the can” for airing in the very near future.

National attention for a North Country murder story is not totally new for Bloated Toe. Just a week before the call for NBC, Gooley and Jones received a call, again unsolicited, from a California production company who was interested in GooleyÕ s 2009 Ò Terror in the Adirondacks: The True Story of Serial Killer Robert F. Garrow.Ó They are in talks to turn Terror in the Adirondacks into a movie. Ò This all came to us,Ó said Gooley. Ò We should be out getting a TV network or a movie, and weÕ re not. These are coming to us.Ó Gooley is hopeful that this project comes together as well, but warns that movies are a much lengthier and tenuous prospect than a television feature. Ò Whenever we get something like this we sort of make note of it, put it aside, and keep working.Ó Working for Gooley is writing and publishing, and he doesnÕ t plan on slowing down regardless of how much attention his stories are garnering. Bloated Toe has just published Ò Killing in the Kuyahoora Valley,Ó and Gooley is currently working on another compilation of North Country murders.

Photos from Gooley and JonesÕ trip to Manhattan can be found at the Bloated Toe Publishing Facebook site, and books from Gooley and numerous other North Country authors represented

by Bloated Toe Publishing are available at www.bloatedtoe.com.

If it bleeds it leads ... and itÕ s leading Gooley and Jones well past the confines of the North Country literary scene.

Newcomb Sportsmen’s Club celebrates anniversary Club life has changed dramatically since 1952

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB Ñ Members of the Newcomb SportsmenÕ s Club werenÕ t able to celebrate their 60th anniversary in 2012, so they held a party on Aug. 17 this year at the town beach. The club is now 61 years old and has seen a major shift in the way families recreate in this part of the Adirondack Park since 1952.

“We were a hunting and fishing club when this all started, and over a period of time itÕ s all changed,Ó said Newcomb SportsmenÕ s Club President Joe Novak. Ò Now weÕ ve become a hunting, fishing and family club.”

The Newcomb SportsmenÕ s Club leases about 7,000 acres of land west of County Route 25 Ñ the road to Tahawus Ñ from Upper Hudson Woodlands ATP, LP, which contracts with the owner, F&W Forestry Services, Inc., to manage the lands. The property borders the Camp Santanoni Historic Area to the west and will soon border state land to the north acquired from the Finch Pruyn purchase. That land is currently leased by the 4,100-acre Santanoni Club. Ò We will be the last club at the base of the High Peaks,Ó Novak said. Ò This will open up that land for us to enter the back side of it, to hike, hunt and fish that area. We can get there quicker than anybody else can.Ó Hunting and fishing were the mainstay activities at the Newcomb SportsmenÕ s Club for decades, and they were enjoyed mainly by men.

Now women are members, and activities are more diversified. Ò You donÕ t have the fathers, the grandfathers and the sons hunting like they used to.Ó Novak said. Ò And I think thatÕ s changed the club and the way we operate. ItÕ s becoming more of a family thing because the history of hunting has changed dramatically since the 1960s and 1970s. Before when somebody came up here, theyÕ d have their father, their brother and their uncle. Their sons and everybody would hunt.

Now itÕ s completely different.Ó Kayaking, bird watching and hiking are now

just as popular as hunting and fishing. Ò A lot of clubs lost memberships because they didnÕ t open it up to more recreational uses like snowmobiling, four-wheeling, hiking and kayaking and taking in women members.

WeÕ ve done that,Ó Novak said.

There are about 80 full paying members in the Newcomb SportsmenÕ s Club, not including a couple dozen honorary members and two military members. And members donÕ t have to live in Newcomb. Ò In fact, there are very few members from Newcomb,Ó Novak said. Ò We have a lot of people from downstate. Most people come from Albany and south.Ó One plus is the proximity to Great Camp Santanoni, which is about a 2-mile hike from the clubÕ s property line, as opposed to a 5-mile walk from State Route 28N. The club used to lease about 700 acres on the Hudson River side of the Tahawus road, but they recently lost that to state acquisition.

Club amenities

Many members construct camps or cabins on the Club property. Camping is allowed on the Club in designated areas. The club has 15 miles of roads and several miles of trails. All Club roads are available to hikers, bikers, equestrians and ATVs. In the winter, the roads are used by snowshoers, cross-country skiers and snowmobiles. Canoeing and boating are allowed on the waters of the Club. Club members can canoe any navigable stream such as the Hudson or Newcomb River. The Club also allows row boats and small boats with electric trolling motors on the Beaver Flow. A Club Lodge is available to members and their guests. Also, a day use area is provided on the shores of the Beaver Flow, complete with a picnic pavilion. The Club often holds meetings, open houses, and family events at the pavilion.

The Club sponsors an annual Family Day, when members are encouraged to bring their families for food and fun. Family Day includes a fishing derby, games and educational outdoor activities.

In Lake George, Town Supervisor Dennis Dickinson (Rep., Indpc.) is running unopposed; and in Stony Creek, long-time Supervisor Frank E. Thomas (Rep.) is also unchallenged.

But in neighboring Warrensburg, Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty (Rep., Con., Indpc.) Ñ who serves as the countyÕ s Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Ñ is being challenged in a Republican Primary race by former town supervisor Maynard Baker Rep., Ind.), who gave Geraghty a formidable opposition for the post in 2009. Regardless of the outcome Sept. 10, the two will meet again in November due to their independent filings.

Incumbent Johnsburg Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow (Dem., Cons.) is unchallenged for his party nominations, but he will be facing off in November with Curtis C. Richards. For the post of Johnsburg Town Clerk, present Deputy Town Clerk Jo Ann Smith (Rep., Ind.) will be challenged in November by Sharalee

For two seats on the Johnsburg Town Board, Republicans Katharine Nightingale and Arnold Stevens are being challenged in November by Robert Nessle (Ind.).

For Johnsburg Town Justice, thereÕ s a three-way race this year between incumbent Vincent Schiavone (Rep.), Howard E. Tucker Sr. (Rep.) and James W. Haker (Ind.).

In Queensbury, itÕ s a political free-for-all, where thereÕ s a nineway race this year for four at-large seats on the Warren County Board of Supervisors. Competing in November are incumbents David J. Strainer (Dem., Cons.), Matthew Sokol (Rep.), Mark Westcott (Rep., Cons., Ind.), and Bill Mason (Dem., Cons.) Ñ challenged by present Queensbury Town Supervisor Ron Montesi (Rep.,Ind.), W.

Haskell’s ability to assume office, if elected, has not yet been settled. Haskell was removed from his supervisor post after his 2008 conviction for Defrauding the Government, a felony. Wood has contended that Haskell is unable to hold office because of that conviction, and she has said she would challenge his ability to do so, if necessary. Legal experts are divided on the issue.

Cost for a college education becoming exorbitant

W

hen looking at investments, the smartest thing to do is to weigh the cost and the potential reward.

Every year students are working hard through high school in hopes of getting into a good college to further their educational goals and prepare themselves for the workforce.

If students are smart they can get scholarships to pay for college. If they are lucky, their families have stockpiled money for them to attend college, or perhaps they have a combination of the two.

Most college students start out with no financial debt and no real know-how of balancing a checkbook, planning their financial future, and no investments other than their potential investment in their education.

New Yorkers in recent years have seen a steady increase in tuition for State Universities (SUNY) or City Universities (CUNY). The $100 increases may not feel like an immediate punch to the wallet but over time those increases have mounted, severely impacting students.

Why is New York State using our students to settle debts made by its lawmakers? In recent years the tuition hikes have gone straight into the state’s general fund — not a penny benefited the educational institutions.

The state needs to start seeing college students as more than a revenue source if they truly believe they are Ò our future.Ó Many other countries see the value in providing a free college education to their citizens as a security deposit for a profitable future. European countries like Sweden offer a free college education to citizens. Though student loans are also taken out to provide food and housing while students attend college, SwedenÕ s college graduates are leaving with a degree and 60 percent less college debt than students in America.

Tying the financial burden left by financially established adults to newly self reliant young adults is unethical. Mortgage loan debt can be forgiven when someone declares bankruptcy.

Student loan debt will never be forgiven and interest rates are allowed to jump any which way the lender wants.

If our educated young adults must make a choice between securing a job in their field or taking a hit and starting in an entry-level position which pays more, many will be forced to leave their chosen field to pay off the debt.

Carrying this debt results in future impacts to the stateÕ s economy. Not only might graduates leave their field, they could leave the state to find cheaper cost of living elsewhere. This

abandonment will be one less New Yorker paying taxes, buying a home and or sending their children to New York schools.

If this is a graduate’s first loan, when a minimum payment comes through on the bill the first thing an untrained person will see is the minimum allowable payment. The minimum payment could be $50 or it could be hundreds.

Either might feel more manageable for the student. Unfortunately, paying just the minimum debt does little to lower the principle. It could be 10 or even 20 years before the student is debt free.

And, the option of deferring students loans can only be accessible for so long.

Most college graduates go into fields still as entry level workers with minimum paychecks living in modest homes if not back in with their parents to pay back the student loans.

The question needs to be raised why is New York strapping people who are just starting out with debts that most simply cannot afford to pay back Ñ at least in the foreseeable future.

In 2011, The New York State Legislature passed legislation which authorized the SUNY Board of Trustees to raise tuition for SUNY and CUNY campuses every year for the next five years.

SUNY schools will raise tuition $300 per year for in-state students through the 2015-2016 academic year, $940 per year for out-of-state students at SUNY colleges and $1,340 per year for out-of-state students at the SUNY University Centers located in Binghamton, Stony Brook, Buffalo and Albany.

Earlier in the summer Republican senators shot down bills before the Senate that would have stabilized and regulated interest rates for student loans and set a precedent in investing in the future of students in New York.

An analysis by the State Budget Office estimated that interest rates for students will rise nearly 3 percent this year alone. The cost of a college education is simply becoming too overwhelming in this state and a majority of the country.

Is the alternative to simply not attend college and enter the workforce debt free?

It is a question todayÕ s high school graduate really needs to ask themselves. In the meantime, state lawmakers need to do a whole lot more when it comes to investing in higher education, because these individuals truly are our future. Ñ

Romance, mystery in ‘The River’s Tale’

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ Lost Pond Press Publisher Phil Brown was right; you donÕ t need to read Michael Virtanen’s first award-winning book, Ò Within A Forest Dark,Ó to enjoy and understand his latest one, a prequel called Ò The RiverÕ s Tale.Ó It stands well on its own.

In fact, I liked Ò The RiverÕ s TaleÓ better. Maybe itÕ s because Virtanen threw me into a tense situation right away, with Alison Reade escaping her stalker ex-boyfriend and New York City home to visit

her aunt in the Adirondacks.

Or maybe it was because I knew the people who Ñ it looks to me Ñ probably inspired two of his characters: the aunt, Lottie of Newcomb, and the whitewater rafting guide, Wallace Lafluer of Lake Placid. In any case, it didnÕ t matter that the main character of Ò Within A Forest Dark,Ó insurance agent Jack Kirkland, was introduced later in VirtanenÕ s new book Ñ way back in Chapter 23. I was already engrossed into the lives of Alison and Wallace and the mysterious death on the Hudson River.

Taking me back to Newcomb, where I fell in love with the visitor center while working for the Adirondack Park Agency, was comforting. Virtanen picks the perfect place for Alison to escape her

psycho ex, Will. Newcomb is remote, even by Adirondack standards, and introduces us to the Hudson River, which plays a key role in this story.

LottieÕ s camp is located there, and the death of a rafting patron occurs on the Hudson.

ItÕ s a familiar setting for me, but most likely a foreign one for those escaping from the big city.

Lottie is the typical Adirondack woodswoman. Sound familiar? She lives in the woods with her dog. She works on projects for the APA. It sounds like Anne LaBastille to me. I knew Anne a little, meeting her at author fairs, so this was a character I instantly liked.

Lottie is ornery, feisty, independent and caring. I wanted to see her beat up the bad guys.

Wallace is an Adirondack

guide living east of Lake Placid at a B&B. This sounds like Wayne Failing, of Middle Earth Expeditions, an Adirondack guide who lives east of Lake Placid at a B&B and someone who Virtanen has interviewed in the past about his experiences as a whitewater rafting guide on the Hudson River. About 20 years ago I took a whitewater rafting trip down the Hudson River with Wayne and a handful of fellow Adirondack Mountain Club employees. Everyone in the raft had a job. WayneÕ s was to get us from Point A (Indian Lake) to Point B (North River) safely, which he did. Others had to paddle. I was given a bucket and told to bail out the water from bottom of the rubber raft so we wouldnÕ t sink.

Wayne is a colorful, carefree character, as is Wallace. I like them both.

26849

Novel takes place on the Hudson River

Although characters may have been inspired by real people, they are not real. Still, I couldnÕ t get Anne and Wayne Ñ and the familiar villages of Lake Placid and Newcomb Ñ out of my head when reading Ò The RiverÕ s Tale,Ó and that made it extra special. It gave me faces to go along with the names.

Using Alison and WallaceÕ s romantic tale to introduce Jack Kirkland was appropriate in this prequel, as itÕ s the insurance agent whoÕ s the go-to guy in Ò Within A Forest Dark.Ó AlisonÕ s not there in VirtanenÕ s first book, and Wallace only makes a brief appearance. But the chemistry between Alison and Wallace was enough for me to want more of their adventures together. Ò The RiverÕ s TaleÓ didnÕ t make me care about Kirkland at all. He seemed annoying as the nosy insurance man and a little creepy as the third wheel between Alison and Wallace.

Yet, at the end of Ò Within A Forest Dark,Ó I wanted to read more tales about Kirkland. I was just starting to warm up to him when the book ended.

What I really liked was the mystery and the nosy man poking around trying to find answers to tough questions. I want Kirkland to get his hands dirty solving crime. Ò The RiverÕ s TaleÓ was a great read, but IÕ m left wondering, Ò WhatÕ s next?Ó Will we see more of Alison and Wallace in the future? Will Kirkland find more mysteries to solve? And how many psycho girlfriends will he go through to do it?

As a reader, IÕ m confused at this point, and I hope Virtanen straightens me out. It will be interesting to see whether he chooses Alison and Wallace to engage in subplot material while Kirkland drives the plot; whether theyÕ ll all work together; or whether Kirkland will fly solo or get a sidekick and weÕ ve heard the end of Alison and Wallace.

In any case, it would be a shame to drop the series now.

Virtanen should keep those

Jack Kirkland books coming.

He has the basic ingredients of a well-tuned mystery series in his cupboard. I canÕ t wait to see what comes out of the kitchen next.

About the author

Michael VirtanenÕ s newest novel, Ò The RiverÕ s Tale,Ó and his first one, “Within a Forest Dark,Ó are infused with the authorÕ s knowledge and love of the Adirondacks. As he notes in Ò The RiverÕ s Tale,Ó Ò This is a work of fiction. The extraordinary places are there. The characters, while inspired by extraordinary people in those places, are not.Ó Virtanen grew up in New Hartford, outside Utica, and often vacations in the Adirondacks. In 1998, he traveled the entire length of the Hudson, from its headwaters in the High Peaks Wilderness to New York City. On that trip, he met a rafting guide who inspired one of the main characters in Ò The RiverÕ s Tale.Ó Published by Lost Pond Press, Ò The RiverÕ s TaleÓ was launched with a book signing at Schenectady County Community College in early May. English teachers at the college have used Virtanen’s first novel in their reading and writing classes.

Virtanen usually reports on state politics and courts in Albany, but he also has written numerous articles about the Adirondacks that have appeared in newspapers throughout the country as well as in Adirondack Life and Adirondack Explorer. On one memorable assignment, he got frostbite while skiing through the High Peaks Wilderness, but he has lost none of his zest for outdoor adventure. Ò The RiverÕ s TaleÓ ($14.95) and “Within a Forest Dark” ($11.95) can be purchased in regional bookstores and on the Lost Pond Press website: www.lostpondpress.com. Both are softcover books, with cover photos by Carl Heilman II. “Within a Forest Dark” won the Adirondack Center for Writing’s award for best fiction of 2007.

Seduced by a Stream

R

ecently, I was seduced by a small stream that continually calls me back to its banks for a final embrace, and just one last cast. There is no doubt the natural siren has my number, and she knows exactly what I need.

When I last visited, she provided me with a beautiful, sleek rainbow trout that was almost translucent in its all-natural, crimson and scarlet garb. Soon after the release, I was again contemplating an escape from the watery vixen, until my efforts were rewarded with another battle-worn veteran of the great piscatorial wars.

Although the old, brown trout was barely a nudge beyond 13 inches, it waged a battle worthy of a specimen far larger than his actual measure.

It possessed the punch of a heavyweight, and as it hunkered down in the swell of a small waterfall, it put up a fight far greater than his size would generally permit.

I battled him back and forth on his own terms, and he used the familiar environment to his advantage again and again. Eventually, after untangling my line from various streamside entanglements, I brought him to the shore.

Being careful not to mare his image in the handling, I gently twisted the hook upside down and shook him free.

Stunned for a moment, he soon swam slowly away before coming to rest in the shade of an overhanging rock ledge, which is when I believe I discerned a sly grin overtaking his wide, hooked chin.

I again attempted to depart the luxurious embrace of my steady and gentle streamside siren. In my mind, I had already shed my waders, and retired my vest to the riverbank.

In reality, my flyline was still on the water, and as my fly was sucked into a small eddy, a strong whirlpool pulled it under the surface.

Serendipity certainly has its moments, and this time it provided me with one of my own.

As I reached down to pick up my rod, a beautiful brook trout slapped and skittered across the surface of the small, backwater pool.

The fish took my fly subsurface, without even the thought of an attentive twitch on my part. The little brookie appeared to be intent on committing individual piscicide, until I gently landed and unleashed him.

I held it up with my two fingers and admired it for the shear beauty of its markings, rather than for its diminutive stature, which was small, but feisty.

Obviously, no one in his school bothered to teach the youngster about the necessary cautions required when chasing a false slab of fur and feathers thatÕ s often found swirling beneath a dark cloud of a watery debris.

Although I only removed him from his watery lair for just a moment, he took off like a fish on a mission upon release.

It was nearly four oÕ clock by my reckonings when the afternoon sun slowly slipped beyond the far treeline.

Again, I went through the rites of a proper streamside retreat. I knew I needed to depart the caressing arms of the lonely stream, in order to escape her sweet babble.

She had held me in her spell for far too long, and now it was time to retreat!

Quickly, I repacked the small wicker creel, and restored numerous flies to my vest. My hiking boots were rebooted in an exchange with felt bottomed waders, and I was well on my way back to the truck when it struck me.

My favorite flyrod remained cradled in the careful arms of a small bush on the bank of the stream, way back down in the gorge.

I promptly deposited an armload of belongings in the back of the truck and hopped over the bank to return to the stream. Ò She simply wonÕ t let me leave,Ó I remarked to no one in particular, Ò Which is probably a good thing.Ó I grabbed my rod from the streamside and as I turned to head back up the hill, the sound of the slightest splash caught my ear. Then there was another, and then some more!

At the head of the big pool, I could see small, silvery fish that were attempting to navigate their way over the tall falls.

For a moment, I sat on a streamside boulder and simply stared. I was transfixed by the audacity of the diminutive salmon as they sought to answer an instinctive urge to complete an upstream migration completely driven by their genes.

As tiny fry, the silvery marvels were stocked in the headwaters of the brook, and unbeknownst to them, there was no real need for them to return to breed.

If they failed to complete their genetic mission, the DEC would still continue to stock many more of their kind.

Obviously, nobody bothered to tell the salmon about the situation, and as a result, they continued to leap into the falls in contemplation of making it to the big show.

I knew dinner was nearing the table at home and surely, I should go. IÕ d had my fun for the day, and I know a busmanÕ s holiday should never be overdone.

But retreat as I may, my feet simply couldn’t move. I stood transfixed at the sight of salmon leaping into the air, despite being pounded back into the holding pool. Ò What the hell, IÕ ll take one last cast and then get out of here,Ó which I did. And as my line neared the falls, a slender, silver missile took the fly right out of the air. Carefully, I released it up above the falls.

Without hesitation, I sent a second cast out and landed another salmon, and then another in rapid secession. With each release, I pitched a fish above the falls. They wanted the river, and the river wanted them.

It was almost too easy, but I wanted to fulfill my duty. In a span of 10 minutes, I tossed more than two dozen salmon over the falls on the way to a migration they neither understood, nor had the capacity to complete. But at least they would get there!

In a single afternoon, I attracted three varieties of trout and over three dozen salmon to the tip of my flies. No wonder I found myself caught in a siren’s grasp. If the erasable grin on my face offered an indication, it was well worth it!

And being the dutiful deadbeat Dad who often fails to return on time for supper, I ate every bit of the burnt steak and endured the scorn of the cold corn waiting on the dining room table.

Fortunately, my presence at dinner was neither expected, nor required. However, the lame excuse did serve as false alarm to help wrench me away from a sensuous, small stream and a multitude of energetic playmates that willingly attended to my every need.

Dam dilemma!

T

hroughout the North Country, there are streams that have been used as power sources in the past. Logs were transported downstream in the early spring via the power of the moving water. This fluid power ran sawmills, grain grinding grist mills, and supplied hydraulic muscle to turn turbines for electric power. Water was used by many factories along the rivers for the manufacturing of various items like paper making.

In the southern Adirondacks water was used in many of the tanning facilities like those in Amsterdam and Gloversville.

The streams were a tool to be used and little thought was given to protect fisheries. Numerous chemicals and other pollutants were dumped into the streams, many changed with the color of the chemical being used that day.

The fish had to fend for themselves. They either went up clear water tributaries to survive or downstream to lakes if they could get there.

If they didnÕ t make it, they were sushi for the birds and mammals along the shoreline.

Many of the old stone and wooden cribbed dams that were layed up in the early years of the Adirondacks are gone. Some still remain as dams for reservoirs for town water supplies, although surface water supplies are no longer allowed in New York, with the exception of New York City.

NYC gets their water from open reservoirs in the Catskills. New York City gets away with a lot of things that the rest of us have to deal with. I guess we know where the voting power is for New York, donÕ t we!

Many of the dams in the state are getting old, and becoming a threat to downstream residents. Repairs are expensive and engineering to ensure safety is costly, very costly now days. With the increases in high volume storm events like Hurricane Floyd, Irene and others, having a dam in a state of disrepair is a liability. No town can afford a lawsuit brought on by a dam that gives way.

On the fisheries side of the story, tail water streams below dams are some of the most productive fisheries. Cold water discharged from the bottom of the dam supplies a continuous supply of cool water to the stream below.

These dams release water at certain rates, so the stream doesn’t have great fluctuations in stream flow. This makes the stream ideal trout habitat. This nutrient rich, cold water makes a fabulous trout fishery.

In New York, the East Branch of the Delaware River along the NY and Pennsylvania line gets water from the Pepacton Reservoir.

This tail water stream is world famous for its trout fishing. The Pepacton Reservoir is one of the holding areas for the NYC water supply.

Every fly fisherman has heard of the Frying Pan, the South Platte and the Arkansas in Colorado, or Lees Ferry on the Colorado River in Arizona. All of these are famous gold class tail water streams. The nutrient rich, cold water makes these streams, the Ò dream streamsÓ of many fly fishers. Folks like myself, travel all over the US to fish these waters. These streams draw in thousands of fisherman into the area where they purchase meals, hotels, fishing equipment, hire guides and just plain old spend money locally. Our own Ausable River is not a tail water stream, but it does bring in hundreds of fly fishermen to the area, where they spend their money. That is good for our local economy.

There are also downsides to dams. One downside is that all dams are not bottom discharge dams. Many dams have the water released from the top of the dam, or over spillways. The problem then becomes warm water. The lake behind the dam heats up during the summer and that warm water is then discharged into the stream, affecting the trout fishery below. Much depends on the size of the impoundment and supply temperature of water to the stream above the lake. Large impoundments have a greater effect on the stream below.

The plus side to this type of dam is that bugs that hatch on the lake get washed over the spillway and feed the fish below the dam.

Trout are cold water species. When the water warms, they migrate into cold water spring seep pools, cooler water stream tributaries or out to a lake to get to their comfort zone. If they canÕ t migrate to colder water, they can die. Once again, sushi!

A second problem is that the natural migration of aquatic organisms is stopped by dams.

Whether it’s the fish, invertebrates, minnows or other stream critters, dams can stop their natural migration up or down stream. This results in a loss of diversity in the upstream reaches. The continuity of the stream habi-

tat must be maintained to keep a sound aquatic community.

On the flip side, dams may prevent

By Rich Redman the spread of invasive species into a river system, like lamprey eels.

Brook trout, brown trout, rainbows (steelhead) and smallmouth bass all spawn in the streams at various times. Some spawn in spring and some in fall. They may migrate back to the lake or stay in the stream. Steelheads are rainbow trout that migrate back and forth from stream to lake. Cattaraugus Creek in western NY is known for its steelhead runs and smallmouth fishery. Dams can stop this natural occurrence from ever happening. There is talk of removing the dam in Springville NY to allow access to another 20 or more mile of habitat for trout and other fish. We have dams in our area that also limit fish passage.

A third problem is that dams can allow ice to form and build up. In spring thaws, flooding can occur due to the ice jamming. Fast running water tends to be open, meaning itÕ s not frozen over, so ice jamming is less likely.

Dams also stop the natural transport of sediment through the river system, which can increase erosion along stream banks.

From a river restoration view point, the removal of some dams is a good thing. The effect on the river system depends on the location of the dam within the river. A dam at the top of the watershed doesnÕ t affect the river as much as one near the mouth of the stream.

The closer to the mouth, the less likely there will be much fish and aquatic migration.

Top discharge dams affect the water temperature for the fish below the dam, and can restrict fish and aquatic organism passage from their natural migration patterns.

With fast moving waters ice formation is reduced and there is a greater probability of less flooding in the immediate area.

Dam removal projects get very emotional for people, especially the ones who live right on the impoundment. People fear it will turn into a mud hole or swamp. But it really turns back into the original floodplain. Usually the vegetation takes over so fast along the old shoreline that the restoration process happens on its own. With foresight and planning, the old shoreline can also be planted with various grassesÕ to keep it open. Folks can then enjoy the new fast moving rapids and stream flow alongside a grassy bank that will supply fish with terrestrial bugs like grasshoppers, crickets and ants. You will get to see the river the way it was, not hidden under water.

Dams were built by man and can be removed by man. Power dams that supply electricity for the country or reservoirs for human water supplies are important and we need them. Some dams in the west restrict salmon migration and have garnered considerable heated discussions among fisheries groups.

We are not talking about the Hoover Dam or the pyramids or some historical site. We are talking about old stone and wood cribbed structures and dams that are in need of costly repairs. They are liabilities to the human residents downstream and to the aquatic residents in the stream. We have seen numerous flooding events in recent years and its time we take a real good look at all of our watersheds and make decisions that are good for the economy of our area and are long term solutions to flooding.

This is where the whole dam dilemma comes into play. Removal of a dam changes the landscape for the people nearby, but in the long run it will reduce many of the problems associated with the dam. If the fisheries can be improved, ice jamming reduced and the river brought back to its natural state, then it gets my vote. An improved fishery can start drawing folks from other areas and states to our area.

When they come here and spend money it is good for our economy. They can enjoy our local foods and fish, served up on a platter at a local restaurant or bar!

Now we need some homegrown beer, wine and cider to go with that fish dinner.

Gibson Brothers to headline Plattsburgh Bluegrass Festival Set for Sept. 12-15 at county fairgrounds

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Ellenburg Depot natives Eric and Leigh Gibson will return to the 2nd Annual Plattsburgh Bluegrass Festival for a Sept. 14 performance with their award-winning band, the Gibson Brothers, at the Clinton County Fairgrounds. They will join nine other bands during the Sept. 12-15 event.

The festival will be held two weeks earlier this year, and it will last for four days instead of three like it was during the inaugural year. Ò This year, IÕ ve started the music on Thursday,Ó said Clinton County Fair Manager Glenn Gillespie said. “Last year was my first year, and I noticed that a lot of people came in on Thursday, and everybody was waiting for music. This place was packed on Thursday, so we decided to start it a day earlier.Ó In 2012, the crowd was bundled up as the temperatures do during the fall in the North Country. But thereÕ s no telling what the weather

will be like, according to Gillespie. The 2013 festival will be held just as the fall foliage season is getting under way. Ò Last year it was cold the three days we were here, but the following week it was in the 80s, so you just canÕ t tell with the weather,Ó Gillespie said.

For a new event, it seems as though the festival is gaining some momentum. Ò Last year, we didnÕ t know how it would work out, and we actually did very well last year,Ó Gillespie said. Ò Now this year has just gone crazy. TheyÕ ve been calling for a spot since January.Ó All electric sites are sold and theyÕ re renting out dry camping spots behind the stage. They expect regular bluegrass festival goers and visitors from north of the border. Ò IÕ m getting a lot of interest from the Canadian crowd,Ó Gillespie said. Ò I was up in Pembroke, Ontario last week and passed out a bunch of our brochures, and the phone has been ringing off the hook ... We had a lot of Canadians last year, but this year it looks like weÕ ll have even more.Ó One reason for the interest north of the border is the popularity of the Canadian bands on

Sentinels ready for a competitive 2013 season

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ The Ticonderoga varsity football team will return a lot of experience from the 5-4 2012 squad which finished 5-4 on the season.

“We are excited to get back on the field after last season and return both a good number of players and a decent amount of experienced players,” head coach Robert Sutphen said. “So far that experience has really shown up in practices, particularly among the backs, receivers and secondary.”

Sutphen said that the key has been putting units together and getting them repetitions in practice. Ò Our offensive line is coming together, but how we fair against other competition remains to be seen,” he said. “The defense has progressed nicely but we know we will certainly be tested.”

Seniors on the roster include Jarryn Granger, Mike Graney, Ty Denno, Matt Cook, Sean Lawrie, David Bevins, Cameron Wright, Skyler Gilbert, Jesse Wilson, Shaner Cody, Taylor Coffin, Blake Gautreau and Anthony DuShane.

Juniors include Garrison Hughes, Dominic Banish, Parker Granger, Marick Ross, Konner Bruce, Ian Lawrie, Devin Alkinburgh, Dalton Huestis and Colby Bradford.

The roster also includes a pair of juniors in Ryan Trudeau and Chase Dixon.

Sutphen is assisted by Scott Nephew, Dan Dorsett, Jim Decker and Todd Mitchell.

Sentinel harriers want to continue to make noise at state level

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ It may be as close as the Ticonderoga varsity cross country team is going to get to a state championship home game, and the team wants to make the most of it.

“We look to improve on the fifth place finish in the state championships last year,” coach Jay Wells said. “Many of the members of that team are returning and we will look to them for leadership. Our keys to success this season are consistency in training and racing with more intensity.”

The team has its sites set on returning to the state championships, which will be held this season at Queensbury High School, a much shorter drive for the team to a neighboring Section II school.

Members of the team who made the state meet last season include Tyler Beldon, Shawn Silliman, Jacob Young, Cody Parrot, Martin Glazer and Milo Thurbon. Ò These experienced runners that have combined with a hungry core of talented young runners and can accomplish great things if they are willing to work for it,” Wells said.

The roster also includes Colvin Chapman, Dillion Crowe, Aaron Russell, Darby Guay, John Cook, Joel Cook, Ryan Price, Tim Ryan and Nick Fitzgerald.

Experience to drive defending sectional champ Vikings

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com MORIAH Ñ The Moriah varsity football team will have 19 seniors on its roster, bringing experience back to the Section VII/X champions from one year ago. Ò Senior leadership will be the key top this years success,Ó head coach Don Tesar said. “17 of these seniors are returning for at least their second season of varsity experience.”

Tesar said that the defensive side of the ball will be anchored by returning linemen Tom Rancour and Hayden Fernandez with linebackers Skyler Graham, Austin McKiernan and Cole Gaddor also returning, with Noah Gilbo transitioning between outside linebacker and line.

In the secondary, corner Tyler Pratt and safety Jordan Greenough return and will be joined by CJ Raymond at corner and a rotation of Austin Allen, Arto Nadeau and Dylan Blaise at safety.

On offense, Gaddor will be the signal caller at quarterback and will be joined by fullbacks Graham and Gilbo along with

halfback Pratt and tailbacks Raymond, Troy Welch and Kyle Stockwell in the backfield. Rainer Garnica will play tight end, while the outside will include receivers Bill Petro, Allen and Greenough.

McKiernan and Fernandez will anchor the left side of the offensive line, with Rancour at center. Tesar said several players were competing to fill in the right side of the offensive line, including Gilbo, Dylan Scozzafava, Jeremy Murcray, Gage Denton and Tristan Shappy. Ò Hopefully we will be able to throw the ball consistently this year so it can take some of the pressure off our running game,Ó Tesar said. “Getting people in the right places early will help us mesh as a team faster. Developing solid backups will help us rest players that are going two ways for us.”

The Viking roster also includes lineman AJ Childs, Sam Russo, Nick Allen, Jacob DiFelice, Troy Welch and Mike Flack; and

backs Dylan Blaise, Matt Heald, Kyle Van Buren, Ryan Jaquish and Andrew Green.

Tesar is assisted by Tom Anderson, Chris Lobdell, Casey Nephew, Pete Gilbo, Jim Lagey and Ed Trombley.

Lady Wildcats looking to build skills throughout season

By Keith Lobdell

Schroon Lake Girls Schedule

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ The Schoon Lake girls varsity soccer team will take to the field this season looking to improve on a 1-9-0 record in 2012.

“We have lots of newcomers to the field this year,” coach Mary Lou Shaughnessy said. “We are hoping to show a competitive spirit and lots of determination. With each game that we play, our goal is to improve on our skills and build our confidence.”

The Lady Wildcats will be looking to replace the experience of six graduates. Ò It will be important for our new group of seasoned players to step up and guide our new teammates,” Shaughnessy said.

“Back to the field players include our front line force of senior Megan Hall, senior Desiree Lanoue and junior Abby Welch.

Controlling midfield will be senior Lexi Subra and junior Molly Wisser. Senior Destinee McCoy will return to the defense. These ladies will need to show leadership and guidance as we compete against some strong teams.”

Shaughnessy said that along with the returning players, she is hoping the newcomers can add some firepower to the Wildcats attack. Ò We are determined to make changes and put some numbers on the score board,” she said. “Our new players senior Kiana Fiore, junior Amanda James, sophomore Katie Botterbusch and junior Dakota Gadway are aggressive new additions in both our offense and defense. Senior Abi Wisser and senior Shannon Garland will assist with midfield duties. Sophomore Dejanira Plumstead will help out on defense while freshman Julianna Finnerty will prove a force in the net.”

Warrensbu rg Warrensburg football team seeks to overcome deficit

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Adversity is something that he Warrensburg High School football team has endured for years, and this year is definitely no exception.

Missed practices on behalf of a half-dozen football players, several disciplinary-related cuts and a few dropouts leaves the team to play its first 2013 scrimmage with 16 players, the state’s legal minimum, rather than the 30 players who showed up for the first practice a week ago. Add that on top of losing the 2012 standout players like Adam Langworthy, Desmon Allen, Tyler Wilcox and Jerico Converse, and the Burghers have a problem.

Burghers, however are known for overcoming adversity Ñ old-timers recall one season in the mid-1980s when virtually all the starters were suspended, and the junior varsity players became the varsity team.

Two years later, the battle-hardened WarrensburgÕ s team won the regional Super Bowl. That young Junior Varsity quarterback, who battled against players that must have looked like amazons to him at the time, is now the schoolÕ s high school principal, Doug Duell.

Then a decade later, with a new coach at the helm in 2004, the team fought with heart all the way into the state semifinals.

In recent years, the school has endured falling enrollment, but the gritty players have served up some exciting football action.

Last year’s record hovered around .500, but the 2012 season offered thrills for local fans. After a disappointing 0-2 start to their year, they beat Bishop Gibbons 64-18, the widest margin of victory in recent school history. Not long after, they stunned Salem in a gritty comeback win after committing a slew of fumbles Ñ a perplexing ailment thatÕ s plagued the Burghers over the past six years or so.

Coach Mike Leonbruno, however, plans to drill, drill, drill effective ball protection this season, he said.

“We’re going to overcome that lack of discipline, he said. “Our goal for every snap is to have the ball in our hands for the next snap.”

With this weekÕ s roster cuts, the beefy veteran line that might have bulldozed competition is now going to depend on some less experienced players to step up and perform.

The experienced offense however, with Marcus Perrone ready for his third year at quarterback, is back and ready for more action.

Receiver Malachi Prosser, known for eluding defenders, showed his skills Aug. 22 as he stretched his body out and pulled in a pass from Perrone that had landed on his fingertips. Ò ThatÕ s the way to keep the ball dry,Ó Coach Leonbruno yelled as Prosser caught the ball. “All right, that’s all we’ve got to do to score touchdowns!Ó Other players likely to play key roles include running back

Connor Scott and Trevor Baker on the line, Leonbruno said afterwards. Ò WeÕ ve got a skeletal team right now, but the guys that are left are dedicated,” he said. “We’re moving forward.”

Rebuilding Cougar soccer team likely to beat the odds

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN Ñ The North Warren High School Soccer Team is headed into 2013 armed with a legacy of accomplishment, a new head coach, and a strong roster Ñ all which are expected to result in success.

The Varsity soccer team has 18 players, with a substantial number of seniors in the lineup.

Coach Jeremy Whipple, formerly the JV soccer coach, has moved into the post formerly held by Jason Humiston, who took on the Athletic Director position at Fort Ann Central.

The 2013 squad will be missing standout 2012 athletes Ethan Schenke, the squadÕ s leading scorer, and 2012 goalie Robert French, Whipple said.

“This will be a rebuilding year,” he predicted this week.

Whipple added he expects Seniors Justice Parker, Dan Hill, Jacob Hill and Joe Strauss to provide leadership, backed up by classmates Robert Wallace, Ethan Frasier, J.J. Dray, and Maxwell May. Chris DeFranco, a Sophomore who’s served as Junior Varsity goalie for two years, will likely be filling the role at the Varsity level.

North Warren, with its low enrollment, has a disadvantage against larger schools, but the Cougar soccer players, season after season, overcome such challenges and tally a good number of victories as well as a offering action-packed play that local fans enjoy.

Cougar athletes have a reputation of beating the odds Ñ achieving goals beyond expectations Ñ and the reason goes beyond athletic skill and school pride.

ItÕ s based on relentless practice and shared objectives of the players. Their legacy is exemplified by the 2007 soccer team, which swept the Adirondack League and took their school to the 2007 Sectional finals.

The 2013 Cougar Soccer Team, backed up with a strong program and a heritage of success, will doubtlessly not only rebuild, but prevail, local fans are predicting.

No. Warren field hockey team has deep but young roster

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — This year’s field hockey team at North Warren High School is bound to continue a recent tradition of giving fans exciting action and plenty of victories, coach Lynn Lewis said this week.

North Warren has made its mark in the sport in 2010, when the gritty, determined Cougar field hockey team was initially ranked last in the league, but they ignored the lowly label and clawed through a season, capturing one victory after another to capture the Adirondack league co-championship.

Those 2010 players not only earned a prominent spot in school history, but their accomplishment continues to provide inspiration for all small-school athletes in the region.

The next year, the returning veterans followed with a runnerup title in the Adirondack League, losing to the undefeated rival Johnsburg team.

Incidentally, Johnsburg Central dissolved their field hockey program this year, and they are now sending their field hockey players to North Warren. Two Johnsburg students — Juniors Anna Liebelt and Charlie Reidinger Ñ are playing on the North Warren team this season. Ò TheyÕ re great kids, our girls are excited to have them on the team,” Lewis said.

The 2012 squad tallied a decent 8-10 record. Although it was tilted toward losses, many of the games were lost by only one goal. Four key players on the 2012 team graduated: goalie Megan McDonough, plus midfielders Krista Millingon, Dakota Wood and Amber Frasier. With this quartet gone, the Cougars will be rebuilding their defense, Lewis said.

One Senior, Nicole Fish, and seven Juniors are leading the team this year. Standouts include forward Kerrianne Belline and Kate Hill, Lewis said. Ò Kerrianne has good ball-handling skills and she knows how to lead the field,” she said.

While the entire squad has high expectations, competition is likely to be tough this year, as the Wasaren and Adirondack Leagues have combined, Lewis noted.

The 2013 team has been exhibiting dedication to the sport, Lewis said, noting that four players attended a hockey camp at Syracuse University and two participated in hockey schooling at Skidmore College.

Besides shoring up defense, Lewis said she wants to work on developing an aggressive offense. Ò We hope to generate more goals this year,Ó she said, predicting a successful season. “We’ve got a great group of kids Ñ theyÕ re very close-knit and team oriented. The girls have great spirit, and they The 2013 North Warren Varsity Field Hockey team includes (front row, left to right): Cate Hill, Hannah Kenney, Julianna Dewar, Sarah Converse, Sarah Stewart, Megan want to accomplish a lot Ñ So hereÕ s hoping!Ó Miller, Madasyn Bush, (row 2): Coach Lynn Lewis, Nicole Fish, Kerrianne Belline, Taylor Feldeisen, Amanda Braynack, Charlie Riedinger, Anna Liebelt, Courtney Viele and North Warren Field Hockey Schedule Morgan Yarosh.

NW running team is small, but is poised for achievement in 2013

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — The 2013 North Warren Cross-Country program is likely to overcome its shortfall of runners this year and have a successful season regardless, considering the dominance of the program for well over a decade. Ò We took quite a hit with the 2012 athletes graduating,Ó coach Bernie McCann said, noting the 2013 team will be missing 2012 standouts Megan Erickson, Cody Phillips, Ryan Olson, Christiaan VanNispen and Anthony Sapienza.

The 2012 boys team captured second place in the Adirondack League, and Erickson individually won the overall girls title for the league. She also placed third in the Section II tournament and competed in the state tourney for the fourth year in a row.

McCann said he expects Alyssa Dewar and Ellie Underwood to step up this season to Erickson’s level.

This is not a long shot Ñ Dewar has been undefeated at the Modified level, McCann said. Ò Alyssa is our next Megan,Ó he remarked, watching the team conduct its drills. Years come and go, and McCann and his assistant coach Judy Benway have routinely turned out champion-

ship runners. Since 2005, the North Warren team has produced 47 Adirondack League All-Stars and nine state tournament qualifiers. They’ve also racked up 120 wins and 20 losses, two Section II championships — one each for the boys and girls squads.

Additionally, the Girls team has won the Adirondack League title outright three times plus two times in second place, and the Boys have won two league championships and four secondplace titles. The teams have also won “All-Academic” status as the runners have all held a 90-plus average in their scholastics, McCann added.

How have McCann and Benway accomplished it? McCann deferred credit to the athletes, but he also said he likes to inject some humor into practices to offset the hard workouts. Also, Benway Ñ whoÕ s a home economics teacher Ñ likes to feed the athletes spaghetti dinners before meets, McCann said.

“We like to keep it fun,” he said.

They also follow a principle of inclusiveness. Ò We make each kid, whether theyÕ re stars or not, feel important,Ó McCann added, noting he was going to recruit more members for the team even before school starts. “We define winning as finishing the race.”

Bolton Landing Bolton boys soccer retooling for 2013

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING Ñ ItÕ s a rebuilding year for the Bolton Central School Varsity Boys Soccer Team, according to award-winning coach Francisco Roca.

Vying for a title in the highly-competitive Adirondack League, the Bolton team finished last year with a record of 10 wins and 6 losses.

Graduating in June were a large number of experienced and talented Seniors Ñ including standouts Dustin French, Erick Onjack and Carl Ciccarelli. The team’s remaining players along with new recruits will have to fill their roles.

Low numbers and lack of experience are the two big obstacles that the Eagles are facing this

48794

season, Roca said. Ò Colin Dowd is the one returning player with plenty of Varsity experience, and the team will need his leadership to be competitive,Ó Roca said, noting that Seniors Andy Kirk, Josh Persons and Alex Maxam will have to contribute in both scoring and defense as well.

“If the team comes together quickly, a .500 record should be considered a success,Ó said Roca, who is known to be modest through the years about his various teams’ prospects.

Area sports observers note that Roca, named regional Coach of the Year in 2009 for his work in building championship-level teams at Bolton Central, will be developing talent and skills in his athletes, and the 2013 soccer team will likely have considerable success.

The reason is no secret. The team is loaded with talented athletes that have earned regional acclaim.

Yes, the team lost two outstanding athletes — Maddy Wilson and Sydney LaPan — but the 2013 squad still has a stellar lineup.

Offensively the team will be lead by Junior Olivia Seamans who finished 2012 with 21 goals and 14 assists. She’s a four-time Adirondack League All Star, a three-time Section II All Star, and an All-State honoree. She also is a key member of a Capital Region soccer team that

Warrior’s beefy line likely to be key to their success

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE Ñ Lake George High School Football Coach Jeff Bennett shouted out encouragement to his running backs as they ran through a gauntlet of defenders pushing padded obstacles in their way. Ò ThatÕ s what weÕ re looking for,Ó he said as one athlete slammed through the shields and collided with a news photographer. Ò This is the physically strongest team IÕ ve had in years,Ó he continued, adding that the squad’s linemen particularly are big and strong. Ò The guys have been very dedicated in their workouts in the weight room.”

His comments underscored predictions heard recently around town.

The Lake George football team has talent, determination and a talented lineup for 2013, and local sports observers say this might be a return to the teamÕ s glory years, an era that extended for a quarter-century through 2007.

The 2012 team recorded a 5-4 season, which didn’t really reflect the effort and athleticism of the yearÕ s campaign, which showcased the talents of such athletes as running backs Willy Blunt and Alex Labruzzo as well as receiver Nate Fidd.

Seven seniors on that team graduated in June, a substantial number, but the younger players have been bulking up and honing their skills, Bennett said.

The team will be depending on those linemen to keep up their conditioning Ñ and play tough and smart through the season, Bennett said. Ò If we have a good year, itÕ s because weÕ re

making big holes for our running backs,Ó he said. “If we can’t do that, we’ll have a long season.”

One key player is offensive guard and nose tackle Pat Barber, whoÕ s been chosen to compete in the Citrus Bowl All-American game this winter. That opportunity followed him being chosen as Best Defensive Lineman this summer at a football camp held at Bryant University.

Bennett praised BarberÕ s work ethic and dedication to football. ÒB arber absolutely loves football, and itÕ s fun and exciting to watch him at work,Ó Bennett said.

Barber will likely be creating scoring opportunities for fullback Tom Clark, who doubles as a linebacker, as well as Cassius Allen and Ricky Jowly, both new at the Varsity tailback position.

Clark offered his thoughts on 2013’s prospects. ÒQ uarterback Tyler Brown and I have good chemistry Ñ weÕ ll be communicating well and moving the ball down the field to score,” he said.

Brown has been praised by Bennett for his quick moves and his ability to throw on the run.

Senior Tackle Adam Agresta is considered the 280-pound anchor of the beefy line. As Agresta stood at the sidelines of a pre-season practice this week, he said that despite the loss of seven experienced seniors, the Warriors have bright prospects for 2013. ÒT here are a lot of young guys with great potential,” he said gazing over the field. “I feel we can make some noise.”

The key, he added, was the love of football among his friends.

“We have a lot of fun in practice,” he said. “We have a great time here.”

The 2013 Lake George High School Football Team includes (front, left to right): Patrick Witherbee, Brendon Johnson, Tom Clark, Adam Agresta, Tyler Brown, Bryan Kane, (row 2): Mallar Peters, Austin Gentner, Kyle Young, Willy Arnold, Cassius Allen, Mark Mellon, Patrick Barber, (row 3): Cory Reale, Nate Moores, Ricky Jowly, Brett Parsons, Patrick Mellon, Arthur Burnett, (rear): Joe Austin, Nick Motta, Zack Layton, Noah Brumagen, Forrest Kubricky and Eric Schreiber.

thom@denpubs.com

48930

LAKE GEORGE — The 2013 Lake George High School Volleyball team, armed with no less than eight Senior players, is ready to accomplish another landmark year in their schoolÕ s impressive legacy in the sport.

Acclaimed coach Cathy Stanilka Ñ who has led teams to dozens of championships over her last 38 years mentoring volleyball and softball— praised the 2013 players for their dedication and spirit.

“They have a willingness to work as a team,” she said. “For them, it doesnÕ t matter who scores the points, they all get the job done.”

She noted the teamÕ s commitment to volleyball includes a lot of the players participating in as many as three sports camps over the summer, as well as playing club volleyball off-season.

The 2012 team Ñ which featured graduating seniors Kenzie Baertschi, Hahnak Saroff, Emily Borgh and Kate Bauder Ñ took the 2012 team into the Section II semi-finals.

This year, competition is likely to be tough, with perennial leading teams Argyle and Hartford in the hunt for the championship, joined by Fort Edward, which also is expected to be a formidable competitor, Stanilka said. Ò IÕ ve got to admit we have experience, but itÕ s going to be a new mix, a new starting team,” she said. “We have to develop teamwork with a new lineup.”

This week, Stanilka was leading team drills with the same enthusiastic attitude and energy that sheÕ s exhibited for more than three decades. Her volleyball teams have gone to the state Final Four no less than 12 times Ñ just since 1990 Ñ and they won the state title in 2001. Through the 1990s and into the 2000s when the school had a deeper enrollment, her volleyball teams won the Section II title for 16 consecutive years.

Stanilka has routinely deferred credit to the commitment of her players, and this week, she praised the 2013 team for their dedication. Ò The players enjoy spending time with each other and they are working very hard on drills and developing their skills,Ó she said, declining to identify key players in the 2013 lineup. “They all have their own high expectations.”

Those objectives, she said, include raising money for the upcoming Power of Pink tournament in Queensbury. The 2012 Lake George squad raised more funds for Breast Cancer Research than CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Warrior girls soccer team has challenges ahead thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Varsity Girls Soccer team is ready to reclaim the glory days they enjoyed for a decade or so through 2010, area sports observers are predicting.

Through that year, they routinely either won Adirondack League championships, or were in the hunt for the title Ñ Lake George was a leader in popularizing the sport for girls in the region during that era.

This past yearÕ s campaign for the soccer team was frustrating, as Captain Emma Underwood was injured, which set the team back in their game attack. Her teammates, however, responded to the challenge and finished off the season strong, said Mike McLaughlin, who was appointed coach in 2011 after the departure of Joel Gordon.

McLaughlin remarked this week that he was proud how his 2012 team won a Sectional playin game against Cambridge, then put up a credible battle against state-ranked Hoosic Valley. Ò We gave them a run for their money,Ó he said.

McLaughlin noted that the 2013 players have their work cut out for them, as they must fill the roles of the nine 2012 seniors who graduated in June.

The team has two Seniors returning Ñ Emily Lindsay and Brittany Motta Ñ and McLaughlin said he expects leadership from the two in mentoring the seven Juniors, five Sophomores and three Freshmen on the 2013 team.

Ò They are all very enthusiastic, and talented,Ó McLaughlin said. “They’re all good athletes.”

The coach added that he is seeking to develop a squad that can exert control over game play, day after day. Ò WeÕ re developing a team that can play with consistency, end to end.” he said. “It’s a matter of grace under pressure.”

McLaughlin noted the dramatically increased competition in the Adirondack League in the league since 2011.

He observed that Bolton has a remarkably good team, and that Fort Ann also has a talented squad.

“There are no easy teams this year, “ he said. Ò I prefer to have the girls challenged every game Ñ Nothing gets accomplished in a Ô cake walk.’”

Minerva-Newcomb girls soccer Minerva-Newcomb boys soccer

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com MINERVA — The Lady Mountaineers hope to improve upon their 7-3 Division 3 record (7-4 overall) and look strong in the Section 7 Class D field as the team is packed with veterans.

Minerva-Newcomb only lost one senior to graduation in June Ñ team standout Shelby Hogan. But their six seniors have plenty of experience. Ò This year could be our best year,Ó said returning Coach Candice Gereau. “Having only lost on player last year to graduation and gaining eight talented sophomores, we have a strong core with a lot of talent and heart.”

With 24 players on the roster, including eight

sophomores and 10 juniors, the team is set up to gain experience for future years. Key players to watch this year are junior Makenzie Winslow, junior Rachel Bush, senior Gabby McNally and junior Mary Labar. Ò Mary is our goalie for the second year in a row,” Gereau said. “Her goal-tending skills continue to improve. She has begun to really be able to anticipate her opponents moves and cut off the angle of the most difficult shots.”

In 2012, the Lady Mountaineers lost key players to graduation and spent the season rebuilding. This year, Gereau calls the team “strong and united.” Ò We have speed and ball-handling skills in our offense,” Gereau said. “The girls have been working hard in preseason on being a united front. They have begun to learn to anticipate their teammates actions and know where and when to place the ball for goal scoring opportunities. With the amount of talent and heart on this team we have the potential to have a very successful year.”

Here is the 2013 roster: Seniors: Gabby McNally, Dakota Bennett, Bridgett Mather, Caitlyn Yandon, Rebecca Marra and Peyton Gould Juniors: Sydney Barber, Karissa Wright, Angela McCall, Astasia Myler, Michela Moses, Emily Marra, Makenzie Winslow, Rachel Bush, Nicole Rubertone and Mary Kale LaBar Sophomores: Danielle McNally, Cheyenne Williams, Taylor Feiden, Meranda Allen, Larissa Smith, Isabelle Bureau, Katie Geiger and Megan OÕ Donnell

andy@denpubs.com MINERVA — The Mountaineers soccer team hopes to repeat as Division 3 champs in Section 7 this year and go even further than they did in 2012, when they lost a heartbreaker in the Class D playoffs against Chazy. The Eagles eventually won the state championship title.

Minerva-Newcomb Ñ ranked 10th in New York last year with an overall record of 14-2 Ñ lost six seniors to graduation in June and their coach, Millie Winslow. Randy LaFountain takes over as coach, and he has plenty of veterans to work with on the field, including four returning seniors: Trevor Moulton, Aaron DeLoria, Jacob Galusha and goalie Alex Ruzbacki. Ò Minerva-Newcomb will focus on playing a short passing game, focusing on team play,” Coach LaFountain said. “The offense should be led by Mickey Johnson, who has the potential to score from outside the penalty box and has a very strong accurate foot.”

Young skilled players like Kalab Helms and Riley Mather should add to the scoring. Ò The defense will be led by Dustin Saville, who is strong, solid and smart; Trevor Moulton, who will be playing midfield/defense; and Randy DeCook on defense,Ó LaFountain said. “Both have speed to cover a lot of area.”

And the retuning goalie Alex Ruzbecki.

The Mountaineers have not set goals of wins, but have been focusing on the following, every day in practice, ball skills, precise passing and al lot of communication.

Here is the 2013 roster: Seniors: Trevor Moulton, Alex Ruzbacki, Aaron DeLoria, Jacob Galusha,Daghan Koraali and Jo-Ali Vtsi Sara Juniors: Stephen Viele, Andrew Sponable, Mickey Johnson, Richard Bennett and Dustin Saville Sophomores: Dan Dunbar, Riley Mather, Mark Mitchell, Ryan Tucker and Randy DeCook Freshman: Kalab Helms

With the loss of eight seniors to graduation in June, the team will be going through a time of transition. Last year’s roster included the following seniors: Somnang Mor, Seth Hart, Colin Farrell, Matt Moore, Arthur Jennings, Chaiten Geissen, Taylor Wells and Kyle Douglas. Ò We are rebuilding our defense and are easily incorporating fresh new talent,Ó Piraino said. “All athletes have demonstrated strong commitments to the season and are eager to compete.”

LONG LAKE Ñ The Indian Lake-Long Lake Lady Orange enters the 2013 soccer season with a new coach.

The 2012 coach Ñ Indian Lake Central School guidance counselor Gina Pelletier Ñ has handed over the reins to Andrew Snide, who was recently hired to replace David Olbert as physical education teacher at Long Lake Central School.

Olbert retired at the end of the 2012-13 school year.

The Lady Orange had a 10-0 division record (11-3 overall) in 2012. Ò This season will be a rebuilding season as we have lost nine seniors from last yearÕ s team,Ó Coach Snide said. “Gaps to fill will be especially noticeable in defense for the 2013 season. Both fullbacks and stopper were seniors last year.“ Snide looks to have Ranya Hamdan (sweeper) and Maddie Miller (goalkeeper) to fill the crucial leadership needed in the back. Ò Shannon Farrell will be a huge factor to this yearÕ s success as she reads the field very

well and can drive in powerful shots outside the 18,” Snide said. “Her confidence is building as a leader and she will be helpful at both offense and defense.”

Younger players will need to learn their roles quickly at the different positions in order to build the confidence they need to win games. There are five juniors, one sophomore and three freshmen on the 16-player roster. Ò The team includes two eighth graders who are improving rapidly and will be a great contribution to the team,” Snide said.

Here is the 2013 roster: Seniors: Shannon Farrell, Ranya Hamdan, Jazmin Piraino, Shaneka Birch and Cynthia Gagnier Juniors: Madison Miller, Victoria Moore, Cheyenne Wilder, Leah Foster and Alexis Seery Sophomore: Madelyn Penrose

Freshmen: Taylor Carroll, Rebecca King and Emma Gocke Eighth graders: Maria Black and Lillian Dechene

Johnsburg boys soccer

Johnsburg girls soccer

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ This will be a groundbreaking year for the Johnsburg Central School, as its newest team Ñ Lady Jaguars varsity soccer Ñ will be competing on the field for the first time.

This year marks a switch from varsity field hockey to varsity soccer for the girls.

In anticipation for this yearÕ s launch, the school district created a modified soccer team in 2012, headed by varsity Coach Cindy Homer. That created some players and experience.

Several field hockey veterans Ñ such as junior Angelina Conte and sophomore Emily Person Ñ made the switch to soccer this year.

Ò This seasonÕ s goals are to build the program and strengthen the young teams skills,” Coach Homer said.

Yet there is one soccer veteran on the team, junior Laura Richards, who chose not to play field hockey and played on the varsity boys soccer team instead last year. Ò Laura Richards will lead the team with her ball skills and her knowledge of the game,” Homer said. “Players who, like Savana Berg, Tyler Dywer and Megan Bacon played on modified last year will be looked upon to bring their skills to the higher level.”

The 15-player team lacks a senior and is not officially on the Section 7 Division 3 schedule for the Mountain and Valley League. Instead, they will be playing some Division

Coach Matthew Wells and Assistant Coach Gene Maiorana are shaping a 13-player team with one senior, six juniors and six sophomores. Ò The strengths of our team will be the returning starters from last year,” Coach Wells said. Ò Austin Washburn is now a four-year varsity player and will be vitally important to the success of our team.”

Aidan Connelly, Moses Mulvey, and Nate Prouty are three-year varsity players and are expected to play important roles. Ò Additionally, I am pleased with the progress that some of our young players from last year are making,” Wells said. “Returning players like Ty Berg, Mark Cleveland, and Tyler Glover will hopefully be ready to make the jump to be-

ing consistent contributors to the team.”

Lady Panthers to rely on defense, athleticism for 2013 season

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ While the Ticonderoga girls varsity cross country team currently has six runners on the roster, coach Jay Wells is pleased with the potential they have. Ò Our Girls cross country team is still searching for depth, but are led by Naomi Forkas who is returning after a great year last year,” Wells said. “We also return Ashlyn Laperle, Elizabeth Aranguiz and Marissa Thompson who have demonstrated great potential. The key to our success will be improving our promising newcomers, building our numbers, and challenging ourselves every day.”

The returning members of the team will be joined by Casey Hargett and Willa Shakeshaft.

CROWN POINT Ñ The Crown Point girls varsity soccer team is planning to give a tough challenge to every offense they face this season. Ò Our defense is the most experienced and will be very hard to beat,” coach Jayna Anderson said. “We have returning senior Christy McGuinness, returning junior Heather Ryan, returning sophomore Shelby McGuinness (second team all star) and one newcomer, freshman Amber DuShane. We are also returning our impressive senior goalie Amanda Wolf (first team all star).”

The team will also rely on its athleticism and added experience throughout the season. Ò We still have a young team but they are athletic, fast and aggressive,” Anderson said. “They are really coming together as a team, playing well and talking. They play hard against each other in practice and there passing is excellent.”

In the offensive third, the Panthers return sophomore second team all star Brittany Foote (7G, 2A) along with junior Hunter Spaulding (3G, 5A). They will be joined by a pair of eighth graders in Torri Vradenburg and Kayli Stone.

In the midfield, the Lady Panthers return junior Morgan Macey, sophomore Logan Harrington, sophomore Abigail Carpenter and junior Hannah Landry. They will be joined by junior Mara Vradenburg.

Wildcats focused on defensive improvement

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ The Schroon Lake boys varsity soccer team will take to the pitch looking to continue one the success of a 10-3-0 2012 campaign.

“The key will be finding the right pieces on defense to be able to force teams to score good goals and not give up any easy ones,” coach Lee Silvernail said. “We have a very positive outlook for the season, several key returners are expected and being counted on to have production seasons including seniors Bobby Rose, Justin Lough, Juniors Alex Shaughnessy, Tanner Stone Jack Higgins.”

Silvernail said that one of the big goals for the preseason was finding new faces for the defensive third of the field. Ò Gone are the four starting fullbacks and Jeffery Armstrong who was a very solid utility player who did a lot for us,” he said.

“Also gone is Jesse Shaughnessy and his 25 goals. Newcomers will also be inserted in key positions and will be counted on to fill the players who were lost to graduation.”

Returning to the attacking third for the Wildcats are Lough (10G, 5A), Alex Shaughnessy and Stone (5G, 2A) who will be joined by Austin Armstrong, Jordan Finnerty and Kyle Lebel.

WCS volleyball team ready to set new course

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Armed with a lineup of returning veterans, the Warrensburg High School Volleyball Team is poised to accomplish a turnaround, according to new Varsity coach Robin Mahler.

Returning players with considerable experience are Bryana Engle, Makayla Baker, Kaylene Norton, Cierra Tyrell, assisted

by Cheyenne Ovitt and Josana Stone Ñ all of whom had plenty of time on the court in 2012. Several of the players have logged court time in prior years also.

Also, the team has a new coach, Robin Mahler, who has been teaching modified volleyball at Warrensburg High School for six years, as well as 11 years of cheerleading beforehand. Just as important, Mahler is armed with a smile and a positive attitude that’s contagious.

In the 1990s, the Warrensburg volleyball team was annually a top contender for the Adirondack League title Ñ but since then fell into a prolonged slump. During the last several years, the volleyball program was almost scrapped in school district budget cuts, despite the fact itsÕ s a sport the players can enjoy with their peers for a lifetime.

The returning players had a rare taste of victory at the end of the 2012 season when they beat Corinth after 10 or so straight losses, a virtually identical replay of the 2011 season.

But regardless of the recent seasonsÕ win-loss tallies, the play-

ers focus on improving their skills, and enjoying their time together, Mahler said, noting the 2013 players are demonstrating a dedication to the sport and a spirit of teamwork.

Several on the squad, including 9th graders Leah Terrell, Angie Miller and Jayden Cain, have been sharpening their skills in summer volleyball competition, which is bound to raise the team’s level of play, Mahler said. Ò They all have talent, whether theyÕ re veteran players or 9th graders,” she said.

Two of the players, Seniors Makayla Baker and Josana Stone, have shown leadership and are serving as MahlerÕ s assistant coaches, helping run drills and sharing their knowledge with the other players, she said.

Stepping off the court at a practice this week, Stone said the team was enthusiastic about playing this season, win or lose.

“It’s definitely different this year,” she said. “And we’ll be trying our best.”

WCS cross-country program a success right out of the gate

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ With only one season in existence, the Warrensburg High School CrossCountry running team has established itself and earned considerable respect in the region.

Not only did the team fare well in its debut 2012 season, but the bulk of the team is back for 2013. This success is not likely to be short-lived — their Modified cross-country squad has the largest roster by far of any school in the region, according to co-coaches Doug West and Brian Winchell.

The 2012 team placed third in the league last season, then placed 7th in Section II even though theyÕ d been ranked in 12th place, West said. Ò We surprised everyone,Ó he said, noting that one of the top runners on the 2012 team was Marney Chancey, who was named a league All-Star. She graduated in June. “We hit our stride late in the season,” he added.

Virtually all the undergraduate female runners from the 2012 team are back, which attests to the experience and potential of the 2013 girls’ squad.

West said that considering this experienced roster, the Burgher cross-country team is likely

to accomplish even more this year.

Standout athletes for the 2013 team include two Seniors: Glenn Warner, who was named an Adirondack League All-star last year, and Senior Nick Nedelcu, one of the top wrestlers at Warrensburg High.

There are no less than seven wrestlers on the squad, and theyÕ ve been vital members of the cross-country team, which has a roster of about 30, including the modified level.

After a practice session this week, accomplished wrestler and two-year cross-country runner Denver Berry, a Senior, talked how the cross-country running provided vital side benefits.

“Running in the fall definitely prepares you for other athletics Ñ it takes the load off conditioning in winter sports so you can focus on technique rather than endurance training,Ó he said.

Nedelcu also noted a benefit of an individual sport.

“Everyone has a shot,” he said.

Junior Julie Angell said that Cross-Country running had health benefits, as well as the competitive aspects.

“This is definitely a fun program,” she said after the team ran a considerable distance with the two coaches running alongside. “And the coaches really know what they’re doing.”

2013 is a rebuilding year for Lake George boys soccer team

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — The 2013 Lake George Boys Soccer team has its work cut out for them this season.

TheyÕ re following in the path blazed by the 2012 Warrior squad, which coach Blake White said was likely his “best team ever.”

ThatÕ s quite a statement for a coach whoÕ s been leading his soccer team for 32 years while his athletes have won dozens of coveted team titles and individual honors.

Loaded with talent, the team accomplished a 17-0 season record along with the Adirondack League Championship, only to be halted by a fluke goal in a Sectional semifinal defeat.

From that team, seven Senior starters graduated, including Mason Vreugde, an area All-Star and an AllState honoree whoÕ s now playing soccer for Alfred University. The team also featured Jake McMahon and Sasha Goodman in midfield, as well as Ethan Wincowski, Brian Stoya, Trip Heacock, and area Goalie of the Year Greg Rosenthal.

This lineup leaves a lot of substantial roles for the 2013 team to fill. Fortunately, the success of last yearÕ s squad Ñ along with veteran coach Blake WhiteÕ s practice of giving all players substantial field time — means he’s got a deep lineup of players who know what it takes to achieve a championship. The stellar season also prompted a lot of skilled athletes to turn out for this year’s team.

Likely to be a headline scorer for 2013 is Junior Ian Quillinan, White said.

“We expect that Ian, as center midfielder, will be controlling the pace of the games,” he said.

The new lineup will call for two forwards, likely to be Freshman Luke Vanderminden and Junior Greg Keenan.

Senior Quincy Devlin and Brandon Matthews are likely to be stationed as back midfielders.

Last yearÕ s backup goalie, Jeff Naftaly, is

currently the top choice for the 2013 goaltender, White said, noting Naftaly attended soccer camp this summer and learned a lot.

About 20 of the team members participated at Saint Lawrence UniversityÕ s team soccer camp, he said. Ò It was a good week for team bonding,Ó he said.

Senior Ben Smith, who was chosen for an area All-Star second team in 2012, is likely to be moved to outside midfielder. The defense is likely to be buttressed by Senior Brad Schreiber, Junior Duncan Mularz and Sophomore Noah Prime, White continued.

L.G. Cross-Country team: winning isn’t the whole story

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG Ñ Following a tradition of encouraging students to achieve their personal best, the Lake George High School Cross-Country team has made waves since 2008, garnering lots of sectional and league championships as well as sending many of its runners to state tournaments.

Last year was no exception, as the Lake George girls won the team championship, and various members, both boys and girls, were named

league All-Stars.

While coveted trophies are satisfying to win, itÕ s more gratifying to know youÕ ve been building character in athletes regardless of their ability levels, coach Scott Smith said. Ò I want everyone to know theyÕ re an important part of the team no matter how fast or slow they are,” he said this week. “We’ve had great athletes on the team as well as those who wouldnÕ t traditionally be considered as athletic, or do well in ball sports.”

Since 2008, many of the latter have made remarkable achievements for CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

the team, he said. Ò WeÕ ve had many extraordinary athletes,Ó he said. “Yet we remember that the most important kids on the team are the newest and youngest.”

In their road to success, the team has employed a novel approach, nurturing a sense of family Ñ with the experienced athletes mentoring the younger ones, as the program combines the junior-high students with the high schoolers. Team captains are chosen for kindness, patience, responsibility and work ethic, Smith said.

This family approach has prompted the team to grow year-by-year, and itÕ s now approaching 40 students strong.

Standout runners for 2013 include secondyear runner Erika Abrantes, a Sophomore, the fastest Varsity girl at this point and an Adirondack League All-Star; and John Ferrone, a Junior, who has already tallied an impressive re-

cord for his endurance, Smith said.

Others with great potential include Sophie Ferrone, Austin Zimmerman, Amanda Binder and Jessica Huber Ñ all of whom earned league All-Star status last year, as well as Molly Mogren, and Gideon Jardine Ñ who has won the Modified Adirondack League championship. Ò WeÕ ve got a strong lineup this year,Ó Smith said. The team’s final roster isn’t ready for another several weeks because more students may be joining the team, he added. Ò So much is dictated by how much a student runs over the summer,” Smith said.

won the National Presidents Cup, 17-and-under division, in July.

Erin Courchaine and Abbie Seamans, both league All-Stars as well, will help carry the offensive load for Bolton.

Note that Abbie was first named AllStar as a seventh grader. Courchaine is a deceptively quick player who has a knack for scoring important goals and creating scoring chances for her teammates, Coach Patrick Morency said.

He also reflected that Freshman Abbie Seamans has an amazing work ethic, is the creative force of this team, and has remarkable talent. The Seamans sisters and Courchaine all keep their skills sharp by playing travel soccer with various clubs.

Morency continued that Senior Molly Schoder needs to use her experience to help create scoring chances for her teammate and finish the goal-scoring opportunities, and Junior Sarah Calzada, a second-team league All-Star, has played every minute of each game in 2011 and 2012 and is a versatile player who often handles many of the teamÕ s tough defensive assignments as well as scoring goals when needed. Caroline Clesceri, Kenzie Tennent, and Caitlyn Speranza will be counted on to contribute to the attack, he added.

Regardless of the talent, Morency said this

Fall Sports Preview - 23 week his squad still faces a formidable challenge in 2013. Ò The team must improve defensively, individually and collectively, so that we can use our energy to press the ball all over the field to force turnovers and feed our attack,Ó he said. “Second-year goalkeeper Andi Pfau must make the necessary saves that will keep her team in close games. And we need as many players as possible contributing to our goal-scoring efforts so that the responsibility doesn’t fall solely on Olivia.”

Defensively, Bolton will be led by returning starters Kim Wright, second-team league All Star, Lindsay Markham, Olivia Clesceri, first year player Madelyn Pratt as well as Pfau.

Morency said Wright is a well-rounded soccer player who is a solid one-on-one defender, he said.
