shawn@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Local politicians and representatives of various state and local agencies met Aug. 28 to mark the progress of the Adirondack Meat Company facility currently being built in Ticonderoga. The empty shell of the hulking 7,500-square-foot meat processing plant has been constructed, and is waiting to be filled with necessary equipment to slaughter, process and package meat, and to put North Country people to work. At startup, the facility is expected to employ 17 people. It will also be the only USDA certified processing plant in the Adirondack Park, and will be a boon for area farmers, significantly reducing distances they must travel to process their livestock. Ò We at Adirondack Meat Company look forward to partnering with local livestock producers to create a variety of locally grown, value added products,Ó said Adirondack Meat Company owner Pete Ward. Ò We will produce quality farm fresh meat from around the Adirondack and North Country region, to be distributed throughout New York and the Northeast.Ó There are also plans to have CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Bass tournament anglers ticketed for invasive species By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ On Aug. 4, two anglers involved in a Northern Team Bass fishing tournament were ticketed at the Mossy Point boat launch. That seems to be all that the various fac-

tions involved in the incident can agree upon. On that Sunday morning, tournament anglers began launching their boats at 4:30 a.m. in the pre-dawn darkness. Two Lake George Park Commission (LGPC) technicians arrived at about 5 a.m. to begin inspecting boats and trailers by the light of headlamps. Two boats

had already launched at that point. Later in the day, well after all the boats had launched and were out fishing on the lake, one of the technicians approached Northeast Team bass tournament director Tracey Hanchett and advised her that two of the anglers would be receiving tickets for violations of invasive species regulations. The anglers were not told at the time of the inspections that they were going to be ticketed, and likewise were not asked to wash their boats and trailers prior to launch. They were also not barred from launching. If boats or trailers were found to have invasive species present, as has been widely reported, and boats were still allowed to launch, could they have introduced invasive species into the lake? Ò Mossy Point launch is reviewed on a regular basis to check for invasive plants,Ó said Dave Wick, Executive Director of the LGPC. Ò No new populations of invasive plants have been noted in the lake or adjacent to the launch site. However, it cannot be determined at this point whether these aquatic plants or any other invasive species were introduced into the lake as a result of these launches.Ó Wick also explained that the trailers were not Ò tested,Ó but that: Ò LGPC inspectors took a look at all trailers following launching to help con-

firm that all boaters had taken proper steps to self-inspect their boats for aquatic vegetation or other marine growth.Ó Plans for a formal boat inspection and washing program are currently under review by the LGPC for boats launching on Lake George. The LGPC is refusing to release the names of the ticketed anglers. The two anglers were ticketed for each violating a Lake George Park Commission regulation that bars the introduction of invasive species to the lake. One was also charged with a violation of a New York State law that bans the transportation of water chestnuts. Fines for the park commission violation could be as high as $500, and the water chestnut violation ranges to $250. The tickets are returnable to the Ticonderoga Town Court on Sept. 4.

Weekly acoustic jams assist Ti Revitalization Alliance By Shawn Ryan

TICONDEROGA Ñ ThereÕ s a new alternative for a mellower listening experience in Ti: a weekly acoustic music jam session at the Burleigh House dining room on Montcalm Street Wednesday nights. The weekly shows, which will transition to the first and third Wednesday of the month after summer, is the idea of Roberta Whiteley. Ò This musical acoustic show is presented with a dual purpose, the first being to bring a group of people together who enjoy playing or listening to quieter music,Ó she said. Ò The second being to raise money to assist the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance with their efforts to make our town a better, more attractive place to live or visit.Ó Whiteley accepts donations in lieu of a cover charge, which all are donated to the Alliance. Ò There are some funds coming in that will help their cause, but better for us is the fact that people are getting together,Ó she said. Approximately six local musicians perform each week, encompassing a wide range of both ages and experience levels. Whiteley is constantly canvasing for musicians to play. Interested musicians can contact her at 585-6837. The shows are from 7 to 9 p.m.

Organizer Graham Bailey says dancing is encouraged. He said the Fritz Polka Band is nationally acclaimed for their great polka and oompah interpretations. The Adirondack Brewery will be showcasing several seasonal brews to taste and Adirondack Winery will also serve wine during the event on Friday and Saturday.

Ti DAR chapter promoting Constitution Week awareness

Evie Nadeau enjoys playtime at the Ticonderoga Tots daycare center. Photo by Nancy Frasier

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 1723 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on Aug. 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizensÕ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for AmericaÕ s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. The United States of America functions as a Republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world. Ò Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties,Ó states DAR President General, Lynn Forney Young. Ò We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to reflect on our heritage of freedom and come together to celebrate America!Ó DAR has served America for 123 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America. Known as the largest womenÕ s patriotic organization in the world, DAR has more than 175,000 members with approximately

3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships and activities for children, and programs for new immigrants. For more information about DAR and its programs visit www.dar.org or call (202) 628-1776.

TICONDEROGA Ñ Friday, Sept. 17 begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The weeklong commemoration of AmericaÕ s most important document is one of our countryÕ s least known official observances. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those unalienable rights to every American.

Cost for a college education becoming exorbitant

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

Appreciates support To the Times of Ti: The Horace Nye Home Activities Department would like to send out a huge thank you for all of the efforts put fourth by the Essex County Board of Supervisors as well as community members who supported and donated items in our recent drive for supplies. With the generous donations made by many community members, the activities department at Horace Nye was able to obtain a variety of items for the multi-sensory stimulation room (snoezelen room) and hope to get that up and running very soon. The dedication and support our nursing home receives from the surrounding communities is outstanding. Everyone here at the nursing home would like to share our heartfelt appreciation for all that has been done for our facility and, most importantly, our residents. Candy Goff Elizabethtown

Ticonderoga From page 1 a retail store at the facility next door to Tractor Supply on Route 74. With less distance to travel to a processing plant, and a shorter turnaround time, local farmers will be able to save money on processing, and thus make more money from the sale of their livestock. Ò Ticonderoga is very fortunate the WardÕ s are locating their new business here,Ó said Ticonderoga Supervisor Debbie Malaney. Ò The Adirondack Meat Company will have a great economic impact by providing a much needed regional agricultural service that will also create a good number of full time and part time jobs.Ó The Adirondack Meat Company is a North Country Regional Economic Development Council priority project, and was awarded a total of $465,000 in Round 2 of Gov. Andrew M. CuomoÕ s Regional Economic Development initiative. In rounds 1 and 2 of the Regional Council process, a total of $1.5 billion was awarded for job creation and community development projects consistent with each regionÕ s strategic plans. As part of that process, the Adirondack Meat CompanyÕ s investment was aided by NCREDCÕ s allocation of $300,000 from Empire State Development and $165,000 from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, through the Essex County IDA. In addition the USDA is guaranteeing a loan for the Adirondack Meat Company through Glens Falls National Bank. The Adirondack Meat Company is expected to be up and running by early November.

Grinell From page 1 primary Sept. 10. Regardless of the outcome of that vote, Grinnell will be on the ballot in the November general election on the independent line. Ticonderoga government is short-sighted, Grinnell believes. Ò There are no long-range plans for any part of local government,Ó he said. Ò We need to set goals and make plans to reach those goals to have an effective government. WeÕ re completely reactive when we need to be proactive.Ó Grinnell is the retired owner of Grinnell Construction, a 100-year-old building firm in Ti. He believes his business background has prepared him to be supervisor. Ò IÕ ve run a successful business,Ó he said. Ò I hope to bring that experience to town government.Ó Grinnell has several specific items in his platform. TiconderogaÕ s infrastructure, especially its water system, will be a priority for Grinnell, if elected. The town is now in the initial stages of a $13.6 million project to convert its water system from surface sources to groundwater. Ò I disagree with the direction the town is headed,Ó Grinnell said. Ò My experience tells me surface water is a better way to go.Ó The candidate said one of his first acts as supervisor would be to meet with state Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation officials to map out a plan for Ti’s water system. Ò IÕ d like to see the town board take a step back from this and take a deep breath,Ó Grinnell said. Ò I donÕ t believe all the options have been fully investigated.Ó Grinnell also noted the need for a new or renovated police headquarters, a deteriorating town shed and the use of the Armory as important issues facing the town that have lingered for years. Ò Somebody has to take control of town government and move it to the decision-making process,Ó he said. Ò We donÕ t need an individual to make the decisions, but we need someone to move things along until a decision is made.Ó Grinnell also believes Ticonderoga should consider hiring a town manager. The town manager, which could be shared with another town or agency, would be responsible for the day-to-day operation of local government and for seeking grant funding. Ò So much of a supervisorÕ s time is spent in Elizabethtown (the county seat) and the day-to-day things that thereÕ s little time for anything else,Ó he said. Ò We need someone who can lobby our officials in Albany and Washington. That’s an important role of a supervisor.Ó Grinnell said he would be willing to cut the supervisorÕ s pay to help fund a town manager. Helping the Ticonderoga business community would also be a priority for Grinnell. Ò I donÕ t believe weÕ ll see another IP (International Paper) coming anytime soon, but we should be doing everything possible

www.timesofti.com to support and attract small businesses to the community,Ó he said. Ò IÕ d like to see a closer relationship with Fort Ticonderoga. I believe tourism is a real key to our economic future.Ó The candidate would also like to encourage business development along the LaChute River. He supports the planned construction of a replica 18th Century sawmill on the LaChute and feels a microbrewery on the river would Bill Grinnell be a perfect business for Ticonderoga. Ò That river was a source of industry in Ticonderoga for 200 years,Ó Grinnell said. Ò The type of industry may be different now, but the river is still a resource.Ó

Times of Ti - 9 Grinnell said he would have an open-door policy and welcome the input of residents, if elected. Ò IÕ ll listen to anyone,Ó he said. Ò ThatÕ s how you learn. ItÕ s where ideas are generated.Ó Grinnell ran against Malaney four years ago in the GOP primary, losing 198-173. That election followed a long illness that hospitalized Grinnell from May to August. HeÕ s healthy now and believes a more active campaign will make him a more viable candidate. Ò IÕ ve been out talking to people and will continue to do so,Ó he said. Ò I plan on talking to the senior citizens (club) and would be happy to speak to any group thatÕ s interested in hearing my platform. YouÕ re going to see a lot of me.Ó Grinnell, age 66, lives on Grace Avenue with his wife, Laurie, and youngest son. He has four children. HeÕ s a former member of the Queensbury Homebuilders Association and former member of its board of directors. HeÕ s a member of the Masons and Elks. He has served as town building inspector, planning board member, zoning board of appeals member and is currently ZBA chairman. He spent 15 years on the Ticonderoga Central School Board of Education and 30 years with the Ti Little League as a coach, officer and president. He also is a member of the Valley View Cemetery board of directors.

10 - Times of Ti From page 1 Ò The last two years have been about developing relationships with our county, state and federal legislators. ItÕ s been a blur.Ó With that experience, Malaney feels sheÕ s well prepared to lead Ticonderoga into the future. ThatÕ s why sheÕ s seeking a third two-year term as Ti supervisor. Malaney will face challenger Bill Grinnell in the Republican primary Sept. 10. Regardless of the outcome of that vote, both will remain on the ballot for the Nov. 5 general election on the independent line. Malaney said her greatest accomplishment as supervisor has been holding the line on taxes. Ticonderoga has always met the stateÕ s 2 percent tax cap on her watch. Ò The biggest success of my tenure is the huge savings of taxpayer money with grants and cost cutting efficiency measures that allows us to maintain our critical services and programs and keep town employees working,Ó she said. Ò We have secured over $10 million in grant funding for town improvements, treatment plant and infrastructure upgrades, completed seven critical sewer and water replacements at little cost to taxpayers, upgrades to airport runway, road, and a fuel base operation coming. Many town wide improvements to parks, walking trails, including the new Alexandria Avenue trestle and sidewalk project. WeÕ ve applied and received grants for energy efficiency in town buildings, for Lake George stormwater runoff protection and a myriad of planning grants. WeÕ ve done much new infrastructure work and more to come, Meyer Street, St. Claire, John/George Street, Park Avenue, Streetroad. “We’ve had other notable successes that are of true benefit to the town in economic development and human services; Silver Bay is now providing quality youth programming, the summer program and Backpack Program to feed our hungry children, town creation of the Ti Alliance and the cultural arts initiative,Ó she said. Ò We have new rehabbed downtown buildings and new businesses in the Industrial Park and downtown. The economic development and social improvements have really made a difference in Ti.Ó There have been disappointments in her first two terms. Malaney said her greatest disappoint was the closing of the LoweÕ s store. Ò The past four years were bursting with challenges,Ó she said. “The town board inherited difficult legal matters, Killicut Mountain, highway department issues, state DEC violations, (state) department of health violations, Gooseneck water replacement project, the boilers blew in the Armory and Community Building. We faced Hurricane Irene and repeated 100-year flooding rains that compromised our old infrastructure. I remember wondering if swarms of locusts would be coming next. Ò Another challenge is keeping Ti a safe, clean, affordable place to live and work,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a herculean effort for rural municipalities, especially during a weak U.S. economy.Ó

The town is in the early stages of a $13.6 million project that will convert TiÕ s water source from Gooseneck Pond and Lake George to primarily groundwater, although itÕ s likely some Gooseneck water will still be used. That project follows state and federal mandates that the surface water sources either be updated or replaced. The cost of updating the present system is $30 million, Malaney Deb Malaney said. Ò We really donÕ t have a choice,Ó the supervisor said of the project. Ò We are under a tribunal order to take action. The days of taking water directly from a lake are a bygone era.Ó Projects to divert storm water from the town sewer system and to replace aging infrastructure are also in the works, Malaney said. The next two years will also be crucial to TiconderogaÕ s economic future, Malaney believes. The North Country Community College proposal to utilize the vacant LoweÕ s store on Wicker Street and convert it to an applied technology center could be a tremendous boost the community, she said. Ò IÕ m very excited about the potential NCCC applied technology curriculum at the LoweÕ s building,Ó Malaney said. Ò A consortium of four colleges is discussing the possibilities of repurposing LoweÕ s to offer a variety of degree programs, including new green technology with a focus on biomass energy resources.Ó The START-UP NY program could lead to businesses locating in Ticonderoga. That state program gives tax breaks to businesses aligned with the academic mission of a college campus, college or university. Participating companies in START-UP NY will not pay any taxes for 10 years. Employees in participating companies will pay no income taxes for the first five years. Ò With this, the potential for additional incubator businesses would be very promising,Ó she added. Ò This project and the additional business opportunities it creates would have a great impact on our continuing efforts to revitalize Ti.Ó The economy and jobs will always be MalaneyÕ s top priority, she said. A graduate of Ticonderoga High School, Malaney worked 15 years in sales and marketing in the Albany area before returning to her hometown in 1990. She operated AidanÕ s Lair gift shop

Whitehall organization wins Technical Assistance Grant Whitehall Skene Manor Preservation Project Secures $2,100

WHITEHALL Ñ The Preservation League of New York State has awarded a Technical Assistance Grant to a group directly engaged in the stewardship and public use of a historic building in Washington County. A $2,100 grant to Whitehall Skene Manor Preservation, Inc. will support the cost of an engineering structural analysis of Skene Manor, an 1874 mansion perched on a bluff overlooking the Village of Whitehall. Built for U. S. Supreme Court Judge Joseph H. Potter, the mansion was designed by Philadelphia architect Isaac H. Hobbs, and constructed by local contractor A. C. Hopson. Construction took place from 1872 to 1874 at a cost of approximately $25,000. The building was constructed of gray sandstone quarried from Skene Mountain by stone cutters from Italy. Listed on the National Register in 1974, the mansion had fallen into disrepair when it was purchased by a group of concerned local citizens. The not-for-profit Whitehall Skene Manor Preservation, Inc. operates the mansion as a house museum. TAG funds will support a structural analysis of the porte-coch• re, which is pulling away from the main building. Structural engineering firm Ryan Biggs Associates of Clifton Park will complete the project. Ò Whitehall Skene Manor Preservation is very grateful to receive this grant to study the architectural structure of the porte cochere at Skene Manor,Ó said Catherin Manuele, the groupÕ s treasurer. Ò Our group is administered solely by volunteers, and

all monies earned are restricted to building restoration. Since Skene Manor Preservation was established in 1995 our goal has been to restore this beautiful building to its original stature in the community. This study is vital to its restoration.Ó The Preservation League of New York State launched the Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) program in 2012 to support discrete projects that preserve New York StateÕ s cultural and historic resources. Grants of up to $3,000 are available to not-for-profit arts and cultural groups and municipalities managing historic sites, museums, arts facilities and other culturally important institutions that are located in historic buildings and structures open to the public. Ò In a very competitive grant round, applicants sought funds for technical studies to be carried out by preservation and design professionals which included building conditions surveys, engineering and structural analyses, and feasibility and reuse studies,Ó said Erin Tobin, the LeagueÕ s Regional Director of Technical and Grant Programs in eastern New York. Ò The Preservation League is delighted to help advance the efforts of the Whitehall Skene Manor Preservation Project with this grant.Ó Guidelines for application for the second of two grant rounds in 2013 are now available on the LeagueÕ s website.

State parks urges boaters to help stop aquatic hitch hikers TICONDEROGA — The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation launched an education campaign at its 149 boat launching sites statewide urging boaters to help Ò Stop Aquatic HitchhikersÓ by ridding their boats of potentially harmful invasive species before and after each visit to State Park marinas and boat launches. Ò Aquatic invasive species can spoil boating and fishing trips, reduce lakeshore property values and undermine the tourism industry,Ó State Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey said. Ò Once established, controlling non-native plant and animal life is extremely costly – and eradication is very difficult, sometimes impossible. We need the assistance and cooperation of boaters to prevent invasive species from degrading State Parks and waters.Ó Trailered boats, car top boats and equipment moving between waterways are among the leading ways invasive species can Ò hitchhikeÓ to new bodies of water. With Environmental Protection Fund support through New YorkÕ s Department of State and Department of Environmental ConservationÕ s Ocean and Great Lakes program, State Parks has developed the Ò Stop Aquatic HitchhikersÓ signs for 149 boat launch

sites statewide Ð informing visitors about what they can do to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. Each sign describes steps boaters should follow: Clean and remove all visible plants, animals, fish and mud from your boat, trailer and other equipment, and dispose of it in a suitable trash container or on dry land. Drain water from bilge, live wells, ballast tanks and any other locations with water before leaving the launch. Disinfect when possible. Dry your boat, trailer, and all equipment completely. At least 5 days of drying time is recommended. Drying times vary depending on weather and material. State Department of State Secretary Cesar A. Perales said, Ò Access to New YorkÕ s waterways provides tremendous recreational opportunities for residents and for visitors from all over the world. I applaud the work of Commissioner Harvey and her staff in their work to enlist boaters to help keep New YorkÕ s lake ecosystems healthy and our coastal communities thriving.Ó State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens said, Ò Invasive species present a risk to the ecosystem, impair recreational opportunities on New York water bodies, and can cause billions of dollars in economic losses. Governor Cuomo has committed state resources to address this problem, and we encourage all New Yorkers to join this effort by being aware of the threat and taking steps to prevent

the spread of aquatic invasives.Ó Aquatic invasive species are non-native plants and animals that threaten native plants, wildlife and their habitats. Aquatic invasive species negatively impact recreation for boating, fishing and swimming by clogging waterways, changing the aesthetics of water bodies, and adversely altering natural habitat. Species such as Eurasian watermilfoil, zebra mussels and Hydrilla have already impacted several State Park lakes and ponds. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation maintains and oversees 179 parks and 35 state historic sites. For more information about state parks and historic sites in New York, please visit www.nysparks.com.

Sticks and Stones Wood Fired Bistro opens in Schroon Lake Two Albany restaurateurs convert former furniture store into European inspired restaurant By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ This summer, diners in Schroon Lake have been treated to an authentic wood fired bistro experience with the opening of Sticks and Stones Wood Fired Bistro and Bar at 739 Route 9 in Schroon Lake. Sticks and Stones is owned and operated by Steve Holmes and Gary Tromblee, who both come from the Albany area but have strong Adirondack ties. They purchased the former Adirondack Rustic Gallery, and extensively refurbished the building along with the help of the former owner, Adirondack builder Barry Gregson. Features of the restaurant include hand scraped wood timbers, a slate, stone and cedar dog friendly patio, two stone fire pits outside, a stunning stone fireplace inside, a Neapolitan wood fired oven imported from Naples, Italy, hand crafted birch and pine dining tables and

a hand made cherry bar built by Mr. Gregson. Ò ItÕ s one of the coolest bars youÕ ll ever see,Ó said owner Steve Holmes. Ò ItÕ s hand made out of local hardwoods. And weÕ ve got a gorgeous stone fireplace.” The Neapolitan wood fired pizza oven, built into the bar, is a focal point of the restaurant, and cooks pizza at 900 degrees. But, Holmes points out, they are far from just a pizza place. “We do other items in our wood fired oven like wood fired wings, plus we do grilled steaks, seafood, chicken...we have a full bistro menu.Ó They also feature an in-house baker, who prepares fresh pies and hand-made desserts. Holmes has been in the restaurant business for 30 years. He has open and run restaurants all over the country. Ò I decided to make a change in my career so I could work where I wanted to live. It was time to get more local, to work for ourselves instead of working for someone else,Ó said Holmes. Tromblee has been in the restaurant business for decades as well. With a summer season that surpassed the challenging goals they set for themselves, Sticks and Stones will remain open year-round. Holmes is however contemplating altering their hours for the winter season. They are currently open seven days a week, from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

High Peaks Hospice appoints Meg Wood executive director SCHROON LAKE Ñ The High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. Board of Directors has announced its appointment of Meg Wood of Schroon Lake as the organizationÕ s Executive Director and the promotion of Tina Moody, of Bloomingdale, NY as its Chief Operating Officer. Both Meg and Tina have long term relationships with High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care. Meg Wood has been on the High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care Board of Directors for seven years and has most recently served as its president. In this capacity, she gained a deep and comprehensive understanding of the organizational structure and its challenges as well as opportunities. When asked about her new position, Meg stated, Ò I look forward to working with our volunteers and staff to continue High Peaks Hospice & Palliative CareÕ s mission to serve patients and families in need of end of life support. Especially important is our ongoing goal to enhance and improve the quality of care that has been an integral part of our North Country communities since 1986.Ó Tina Moody has been with the agency for 10 and a half years

and its business manager for the past eight years. Her move to Chief Operating Officer comes with a change to the organizational chart of the agency. This newly created position gives Tina greater authority in making financial decisions for the agency. It also is recognition of the many positive contributions that she has made to the agency for the past 10 years. Ò I am thankful to have this opportunity to help High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care continue to grow. I am honored to be part of the team that helps patients and families during their difficult time,” said Tina. “We have a lot to offer but unfortunately all too often, we are only there for the last couple of days or weeks. I hope we can change this so everyone receives the care they deserve.Ó High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care is designed to give supportive care to people in the final six months of a terminal illness and focuses on comfort and quality of life, rather than cure. The goal of hospice care is to treat the whole person enabling patients to be comfortable and free of pain, to provide support for the patientÕ s emotional, social, and when requested, spiritual needs

as well so that they may live each day as fully as possible. Family and loved ones are also cared for during this time as well during their bereavement. Care is given in the place where the patient calls home Ð most often in the familiarity of their own home. Hospice services are covered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit, the Medicaid Hospice Benefit and most private insurance providers. However, High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care serves anyone who qualifies regardless of their ability to pay. The mission of High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. is to provide end of life care that listens with respect, cares with compassion, supports with choice and comforts with understanding wherever people call home. The organization provides end-oflife care to residents of Essex, Warren and portions of Franklin, Hamilton, and St. Lawrence Counties. It awaits final approval by the New York State Department of Health to expand services to Washington County as well.

Star program changes Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com CROWN POINT Ñ There is a major change in store for the New York State STAR tax reduction program. The STAR tax reduction, which previously carried over from year to year, will have to be re-applied for between September and December 31. If you do not re-apply for the reduction, you will forfeit it. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has timplimented a new system, with applications now being made online at www.tax.ny.gov. You will use your social security number to identify you with your primary residence, in order to cut down on the people filing for STAR for more than one residence. Taxpayers will then receive a STAR code in the mail, which will be used to go back online and complete the application. The proceedure is slightly different for Enhanced STAR, where participants will have to find out through the website if they will need to re-apply every year.

He then opted to do a one year fellowship at The Andrews Institute of Gulf Breeze, Fla., with the renown Dr. James Andrews in the field of sports-related orthopedic surgery. Bruce has traveled a unique road to his profession with an interest in sports. Beginning at Moriah Central with his participation in football, basketball and golf he simultaneously was a member of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Team having trained in Lake Placid.

Gibson Brothers to headline Pburgh Bluegrass Festival

The Gibson Brothers

Set for Sept. 12-15 at Clinton 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. Ò 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 the schedule, such as the Spinney Brothers. Ryan Frankhouser, of Remington Ryde, will be the emcee for the Plattsburgh Bluegrass Festival, and Green Mountain Sound will provide the sound. Dave Nichols, of Whippleville, will be donating a guitar for the raffle, with proceeds to benefit the fes-

tival. Workshops will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14 in Building 16. •2 p.m. — Banjo Workshop, Billy Lee Cox • 3 p.m. — Mandolin Workshop, Dave Nichols •6 p.m. — Bass Workshop, Richard Egolf •7 p.m. — Songwriting Workshop, Eric and Lee Gibson Day ticket prices are Thursday, $10; Friday, $20; and Saturday, $25. The three-day price is $50 per person. Children 12 and under free when accompanied by parent and must be supervised. Wi-Fi will be available for a fee of $5 per day or $10 for the event. The office will be open Thursday, 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. - noon. For more information, call 561-7998 or visit online at www. clintoncountyfair.com.

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

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.

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.”

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.

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

andy@denpubs.com LONG LAKE Ñ The Indian Lake-Long Lake Orange squad hopes to improve on their 4-12 record from 2012, according to returning Coach James Piraino. Ò The Orange has four returning strong players that will lead the team in skill and experience,” Coach Piraino said. 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.” Here is the 2013 roster: Seniors: Shane Short and Kyle Lock Juniors: Rudy Giessen, Henry Sandiford, Lance Gocke and Curtis Seaman Sophomores: Dominic Miller, Zack Hoag and Ben Hinckley Freshmen: Austin Pierce and Chase Hutchins

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.” Here is the 2013 roster: Senior: Austin Washburn Juniors: Aidan Connelly, Patrick Harrison, Nathan Lucero, Jason Morehouse, Moses Mulvey and Nate Prouty Sophomores: Ty Berg, Mark Cleveland, Aaron Conlon, Tyler Glover, Patrick Kushi and Evan Riedinger

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.
