Little, GOP Chester citizens rally to help kill revive their downtown ethics bill override By Mary Jane Dower denpubs@denpubs.com
CHESTERTOWN — For years, Chester citizens have been perplexed and distressed that their once-vibrant downtown, full of business activity decades ago, has declined substantially. Where local citizens once shopped and socialized in Chestertown, many storefronts on Main St. are now vacant and deteriorat-
By Jon Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com ALBANY — State Senator Betty Little and most of her Republican colleagues stood behind Gov. David Paterson Monday and effectively killed the Democratic Senate majority’s attempt to override last week’s veto of the controversial ethics reform bill. A two-thirds majority is required to override a gubernatorial veto — and with only 35 votes in favor, the senate Democratic leadership fell seven votes short of achieving its goal. Little, who originally voted for the bill’s passage two-weeks ago, said Monday she believes that there is some good in the now dead-ethics bill, but said it wasn’t as stringent or effective as it needed to be. “Since its initial passage two weeks ago, there has been universal agreement that it doesn’t go far enough. I’ve never seen legislation so widely, yet so unenthusiastically, supported by lawmakers,” Little said. “Voters are hungry for something transformative, not half of a loaf of half-baked reform.” An overwhelming 31 of 32 Democrats supported the override joined by Republicans Roy McDonald, Hugh Farley, Frank Padavan and Joseph Robach. Ruben Diaz was the only Democrat to support Paterson’s veto. And almost immediately after the earlyevening vote, Majority Conference Leader John Sampson hammered the minority party and its support of the governor. “For the second time in six months, Senate Republicans have killed ethics reform in

2 - ADIRONDACK JOURNAL • WARRENSBURG
School budget discussions continue The Warrensburg Central school board heard about cutbacks, savings and boosted costs as they reviewed anticipated expenses of their Transportation, Buildings and Grounds division at the budget committee’s Feb. 21 meeting. A full-time position now paying $8,500 annually at their centralized print office not be filled, in order to save taxpayer money. The Cable television connection in the employee break room at the school bus garage was terminated in mid-January, saving about about $65 per month. The high school and elementary school are not charged by Time Warner for cable connections, as the company shoulders the costs for connections to educational facilities. The trash pickup at both schools was decreased several weeks ago from four times per week to three. The savings to taxpayers is estimated to be $100 weekly, or about $40,000 per year. Green fiber units have been installed to recycle paper products. The possibility of renting compactors is being looked into as well. The work of applying sealant to the high school parking lot will be put out to bid along with the option of sealing the back parking lot at the Elementary School. It is hoped that by leasing three new buses, a proposal up for public vote March 9, the school will reap savings on repairs. The transportation for special needs children — which involves long-distance travel to specialized services in the Capital Region — is contracted out. The school board anticipates that these services may cost more this next year.
Gov. Paterson’s proposed 2010-11 budget calls for a reduction of $605,000 in state aid from the current school district budget. The total gap, however, is predicted to be $700,000, when including non-recurring federal stimulus monies. The next budget session of the school board — in conjunction with the community budget advisory committee — is scheduled for 6 p.m. March 1 in the High School Library. The expenses related to instruction, pupil services, and employee benefits are to be discussed.
Updates from the Chamber of Commerce At the Feb. 4 meeting of the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce, changes to the Chamber ’s website were discussed. The Chamber is now taking bids on updating and revamping the website. A bid of $2,000 has been received. Those who know of a company that creates websites, are welcome to invite them to contact the Chamber by email at info@warrensburgchamber.com or by fax at: 623-2184. The beautiful, historic building that houses the Chamber offices and the town’s senior center could be less colorful this year. The Chamber is considering reducing the cost of landscaping by eliminating the flowers in the flower boxes and putting in more shrubs and a perennial garden. Bids on this work are being sought as well. Dates have been determined for the Chamber ’s principal events during the year: Arts and Crafts Fair, July 10 and 11; the 31st edition of the Worlds Largest Garage Sale, Oct.2 and 3; and the Holiday Craft Fair, Dec. 5.
Pancake Supper set for this Tuesday The First Presbyterian Church will hold a Pancake and Sausage Supper from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tues. Feb. 16 at the church. The cost is $5 per person.

School eyes leasing buses to boost safety, avoid repairs By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Central School Board of Education is proposing a novel idea for their school bus fleet that may save taxpayers money. The school board is seeking to lease buses rather than own them — and a proposition to solicit a lease agreement for an initial group of three buses will be up for public vote in a special election early next month. Leasing buses, according to Superintendent of Schools Tim Lawson, will mean school children will travel in newer, safer buses — and costs associated with transportation will be more predictable. Leasing buses will also eliminate the need to raise $300,000 annually from taxpayers to pay for the up-front expense of purchasing three buses, while waiting for 85 percent state reimburse-
ment that is strung out over a five-year projected lifespan of the vehicles. “Previously, we’ve run buses until they drop, they've rusted out and structural members have had to be replaced by the manufacturer at great cost,” Lawson said Monday. “With leasing, any rust or other repair issues would be the liability of the manufacturer.” The estimated leasing cost for three buses is expected to be about $48,000, based on a quote from Matthews Bus Co. The actual amount would be determined by the bidding process, which is up for public vote. The lease costs would be reimbursed by the state in the year the expense is incurred by the District. Lawson said the school district is not waiting until the annual school district election in May to hold the vote because school officials need to include firm figures — reflecting either bus leasing or purchase — in preparing the 2010-11 budget which goes before the
voters May 18. The plan, if approved and bids come in as expected, is to lease three additional buses each year until the school’s entire fleet of 15 is replaced, Lawson said. “After five years, we’d have no buses over five years old,” he said. The result would be a newer fleet with improved safety, far less repairs and less administrative hassle — all at a similar cost, he said. In the long run, there might be cost savings by reducing the number of school fleet mechanics through attrition, or downgrading the positions to driver, which could also save taxpayer money, Lawson said. The vote on the proposition is set for 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. March 9 in the Elementary School Gym. The proposal entails leasing three vehicles: one 66-passenger bus; one 48passenger bus and one 36-passenger bus.
Prom gown show and sale offers savings CHESTERTOWN — A local mother with seven children is organizing an event that will likely help families with teenaged prom-goers to stretch their budget. Cindy Jennings is planning a fashion show and sale of preowned prom gowns to be held from 6-8 p.m. Friday March 5 at North Warren High School. People from all over the region are urged to bring their prom gowns they want to sell to this Prom Gown Extravaganza, and model them on stage. Those showing their prom gowns pay an advance fee based on the asking price for the gown: $5 per dress for those with an asking price of $75 or more, and $3 per dress for less than $75. All entry fee money will be applied to advertising expenses and for the door prizes. There is no admission fee to see the fashion show and view the dresses. Those showing their dresses should supply the following information for the show narrator to announce while the model is wearing the dress onstage: a brief description of the gown, asking price, school where gown was worn, and additional optional information: original asking price and gown size. Those participating must email answers to these questions by March 1 to Cindy Jennings at billncindy@nycap.rr.com or by mail, send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Jennings at 7 May Rd. Chestertown 12817
Warrensburg Central faces new budget squeeze Scott Remington fundraiser By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Warrensburg School District taxpayers could be facing a substantial tax increase this year, if the Warrensburg School Board members don’t figure out how they can cut hundreds of thousands of dollars from the 20102011 spending plan. Facing a proposed cut in state aid of $605,000 and about $100,000 less in federal aid due to non-recurring stimulus money, school board members will be grappling with a $705,000 deficit, school officials estimated Monday. This deficit could translate to a 14.7 percent increase in taxes if Gov. Paterson’s proposed education aid proposals are enacted, Warrensburg Superintendent of Schools Tim Lawson said.
He said that either instructional wages need to be reduced, or staff cutbacks are likely. For the past two years, school budgets have been a lightning rod of controversy, as property owners have demanded no further increases in taxation, yet many community members have voiced strong objections to cuts in staff and programs. The outcry from the public saved a considerable number of the latter. Over these years, the local teachers’ union has stood fast on their wage increases and has declined to negotiate. The result was the elimination of several staff positions and school programs, including driver ’s ed, gifted and talented offerings and some advanced study opportunities. “We’ll have to be looking at employees salaries, and evaluating programs now,” Lawson said. “It’s likely we’ll be reducing staff or eliminating certain programs.”

Backyard garden effort back by popular demand WARRENSBURG — With an eye on the financial and nutritional stresses families are facing, Cornell Cooperative Extension in Warren County is sponsoring a program for people to raise their own vegetables and herbs. So many people responded to Cooperative Extension’s “Victory Vegetable Garden” program in 2009 that the agency is expanding it this year by offering new herb seed starter kits as well as those for vegetables,
agency Community Educator Julie Nathanson said. Each seed kit is only $5, and both kits are $9 for together. Proceeds from the starter kits are to be used to support the Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H and the Master Gardener programs in Warren County. Beginning Feb. 16, the kits are available at the Cooperative Extension office on Schroon River Rd, Nathanson said. Cooperative Extension can be reached by calling 623-3291.

Downtown From page 1 spinoff businesses will likely flourish as satellite high-technology enterprises relocate to be near the multi-billion-dollar, state-of-the-art plant. Chestertown needs to spruce up and enhance its image to attract these people and enterprises, he said. Monroe also talked about how planned extensions of broadband Internet connections are likely to include Chestertown, bringing along business opportunities and people who want to relocate to rural areas while keeping connected to the information highway. Broadband is likely to be serving Chester as soon as next year, he said, and Chester needs to offer a pleasant downtown experience and a pleasing streetscape to attract its share of people migrating to upstate New York, he said. Warren County has received a $100,000 streetscape improvement grant, and Chester will be a partial beneficiary in developing strategies for revitalizing its downtown, he said. Chestertown Rotary Club official Rich Dwyer said his group would be interested in helping to clean up and beautify Main Street, and the club members were ready to volunteer their services. Resident Ann Murphy proposed a study be conducted to determine the demographics of Main Street, so an effective, sustainable revitalization strategy could be pursued. Town Water Superintendent Jason Monroe said that the influx of summer visitors has changed from those renting cabins and motels to those occupying their second homes. A way has to be found to get local people, including second homeowners, to shop locally, he said. In the same vein, entrepreneurs and community leaders have to work together to bring good jobs and affordable housing to town so that younger people can remain in the town without relocating to other regions, he said. This migration of youth has been a trend in the Adirondacks that has alarmed community leaders and public policy observers in recent years. Resident Ann Murphy advised that applying paint and planting flowers would help improve the downtown, but to be wary that too extensive upgrades might drive up property values so local stores might not be viable, and local residents might not be able to afford wares and services offered. Local resident Mary Miller said that the older buildings downtown are expensive to heat and that parking is a substantial problem. Markie Carroll, former co-owner of Panther Mountain House, said that merely washing windows in the vacant buildings would make them look better and that the school children could create seasonal art work on the windows to make the buildings more attractive temporarily while they remain empty. Carl Johnson, who co-owns a bed and breakfast enterprise on Landon Hill, said that at a recent Chamber meeting it was announced that the new owners of Lincoln Logs will be working more with the community, and perhaps this will include beautification and redevelopment efforts. After much discussion, it was agreed to send out a survey to the those attending the meeting to gather input in devising a plan. Monroe suggested that once the plan has been drafted, it should be presented to the Town Board for review. A committee was formed to prepare and send out the survey before the next meeting which will be held at 7 p.m. March 3 in the Chester Municipal Center. Journal Editor Thom Randall contributed to this report.

From page 1 Albany,” Sampson said. “They have once again asked New Yorkers to do as I say and forget what I do, while special interests have tightened their stranglehold on Albany.” Paterson had promised to veto the legislation prior to its Jan. 20 passage. He called it “election year window dressing” because it did not create independent oversight commissions composed of non-legislators. Republicans argued that with the state Senate in Democratic control, ethics commissions composed of legislators would be a breeding ground for anti-Republican witchhunts. The bill would have required greater disclosure of campaign donors with an aim to curb widespread pay-to-play politics. Along with GOP legislators, Paterson hammered on what the legislation would have exempted from oversight, like a clause that would have exempted legislators, who are also attorneys, from divulging their incomes outside the Senate. Senate Democrats argued that requiring the disclosure of such information violates the attorney-client privilege. Paterson and his new GOP allies have promised to introduce new ethics legislation that closes the loopholes within the next few weeks. And for Little, the death of the ethics bill presents an opportunity. “Now that the override has been upheld, we have a chance to negotiate openly and in a bipartisan manner,” she said. “The manner in which this override attempt was rushed through today speaks volumes about a political process that isn’t known for expediency.” The veto override breezed through the Assembly with little dissent. As recent as last week, Senate Democrats were confident that they had the votes to successfully override the veto.

We Are A Locally Owned & Operated Company! 1470 Rt. 9, Town of Moreau CHESTERTOWN — For decades, local residents have fashioned weird craft — anything from simple cardboard creations to complex or bizarre feats of engineering — to slide down the short snowy slope of Dynamite Hill Ski area. The fun-filled contest has been a way for local residents to fend off cabin fever. For 35 years, the Derby has helped residents release some competitive energy — as well as enjoy fun-filled but frigid socializing. This year is bound to be no exception, as the North Warren Chamber of Commerce holds its Krazy Downhill Derby & Broomball Tournament Saturday, Feb. 20 at Dynamite Hill Ski area on Rte. 8 in Chestertown. The roster of eccentric skivehicles will not provide the only competition at the event, as the sport of broomball, with its enthusiastic practitioners, will also capture spectators’ attention. Broomball registration will be at 9 a.m., with a start time on the ice at 9:30 a.m. Derby registration is at 11 a.m. and start time for the downhill race is noon. Over the years, hundreds of participants armed with handmade, non-motorized contraptions have competed for the prizes. Some of the most creative entries have been Chestertown Fire Department’s famous “Flying Ladder,” the “Maidenform
Special,” the “Flying Carpet,” the “Poop Tube,” the “Housewife’s Dream,” and more. Those from out of the area, or residents with short memories, need only ask an oldtimer about these creations which earned their spot in local history. Sleds are limited to four passengers. The race is for all ages, individuals and groups. All are invited to attend and enter their creation. Prizes will be awarded after the events. The Broomball Tournament, held under the pavilion at the top of the hill, always proves to provide a good time for spectators and participants. Four persons per team are allowed — and competition is annually intense, but always fun. Activities are open to the public.
Chili and hot dogs will be available inside Dynamite Hill’s warming hut. For entry forms and details, call the Chamber office at 4942722. Chamber officials contacted this week said they appreciated the local businesses and individuals who helped to make the 2010 event possible: Adirondack Attractions, Adirondack Internet, Adirondack Pines Bed and Breakfast, Eric &Eric Construction, Erin E. Hayes, Esq., E-Z Marine &Storage, Glens Falls National Bank, Loon Lake Construction, Loon Lake Marina, Natural Stone Bridge & Caves, Stevenson Agency, Stewart’s Shops, and Strike a Pose Images.

6 - ADIRONDACK JOURNAL • OPINION
•100 Years Ago – February, 1910•
Ladies had narrow escape
Frigid weather, snow, hamper life locally The water level in the Schroon River was raised considerably by the heavy rains last month and has been furnishing excellent power for the industries on its banks which have previously been so hampered by low water. It was 20 degrees below zero in Minerva Feb. 7, 1910 and due to the poor conditions of the roads, the North Creek high school pupils did not attend school. It was 24 degrees below zero in Johnsburgh. The blizzard made drifts as high as fences. It took two men who live on Edwards Hill, Bakers Mills, all day to shovel their way to town to use the scraper. At The Glen, snow had so drifted that the roads were near impassible. They were so bad in Hague that the mail carrier was unable to do his route.
Teacher mourns her sister Miss Marietta J. Searles, of Schaghticoke, was burned to death at her father ’s home there on Feb. 14, 1910 in a fire that totally destroyed the house. The fire started in her room from an overheated stove which before its discovery had so far advanced that it was impossible to save her life. She was a sister of Miss Lillian Searles of Chestertown, who is teaching school in the White Schoolhouse there about two miles out of the village.
Fatal fist-fight W.H. Weeks, a mason, died in the Saratoga Hospital on Feb. 7, 1909 from a fracture of the skull, resulting from an assault made upon him while he was searching a hotel for his two young daughters. In falling after a blow, Weeks’ head struck on the curbstone. James Capen, a member of the New York National Guard and a well known baseball player is under arrest, charged with manslaughter. He admitted that he struck Weeks and his bail is fixed at $10,000. He is having difficulty in securing a bondsman. Capen was composed and indifferent when arraigned. All the persons implicated in the affair are well known in the Saratoga area and the case has caused a furor.
Civil War veteran dies Thomas Simmons, 68, died of Bright’s disease, Feb. 9, 1910 at his home in North Warrensburgh. The deceased was a lifelong resident of Warrensburgh, a veteran of the Civil War and as a citizen was held in the highest esteem. He is survived by a widow and one son, James and also a daughter Anna, who live at home. Another daughter, Mrs. Garry Hall, lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. The funeral was held at the Warrensburgh Presbyterian Church. (Note…Thomas Simmons was the maternal great-grandfather of present day Warren County Judge John S. Hall.)
Mrs. John G. Hunt — or Kate Woodruff Williams Hunt — of Warrensburgh and her granddaughter, Elizabeth Patnode who had been visiting her, were passengers on the D&H train header for Rutland, Vt. when they had a narrow escape from being wrecked near the high bridge over the falls on Otter Creek at Center Rutland. A wheel assembly broke and the train came close to being derailed as it bumped along at 20 miles an hour along the ties over the entire length of the bridge. Upon departing the train, the ladies took a trolley car to Rutland. (Note…John G. Hunt’s dry goods store was located in the north part of the modern-day Marco Polo Pizza building. John Hunt’s daughter, Margaret G. Hunt taught at the Warrensburgh School. Their home was next door north of what is today The Cornerstone Victorian Bed and Breakfast. The railroad bridge described was close by the elementary school I attended and less than a mile from my childhood home.)
Spit and polish at the jail Warren County Jailer Mac R. Smith had a thorough house cleaning done at the Lake George Jail. He later warned all of his guests that ten days would be added to their sentences if they were caught spitting on the clean floors. He quoted from the book of Kings in the Bible saying, “And wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.” (The county jail was located in the basement of the old Warren County Courthouse, now housing the Lake George Historical Museum and the Lake George Arts Project on Canada and Amherst streets.
Horse in a bad mood J.H. Roberts was laid up for repairs at Riverbank for several days owing to a kick from his horse. He was in the stable and was about to adjust the blanket on the horse when the animal savagely kicked him striking him on both legs near the knees. The shock caused intense pain and chills for a day or two but he has since recovered.
Hunting small game A total of 2,183 hunting licenses were issued in Warren County in 1909. The largest number issued in any town was in Johnsburgh which reports 430 licenses sold during the year and in Warrensburgh 200 were issued. More popular than ever is the sport of hunting rabbits with the merry little Beagle, the smallest of the hound family. Myron Tripp of Riverbank killed three rabbits on Sunday after church for his dinner table.
Deaths in the news Patrick McGann, 65, died suddenly of heart disease on Friday, Jan. 28, 1910. The deceased was a well known and life-
SATURDAY February 13, 2010
long resident of Warrensburgh, having been born here Nov. 20, 1844. He leaves a widow, three sons, Thomas, Henry and William McGann and also two daughters, Lillie and Margaret McGann, all of Warrensburgh. A long line of sorrowing relations and friends accompanied the remains to St. Cecelia’s Cemetery. Courtney S. Collins, 70 a native of Chestertown, died Friday, Feb. 11, 1910 at his home in Glens Falls. He was a former sheriff of Warren County and during his term of office for three years, he resided at Lake George. After his term expired he moved to Glens Falls and conducted the Collins’ boarding house. He leaves a widow, four daughters and two sons, Howard and Clarence Collins. He was buried in the Chestertown Cemetery.
News roundabout Business is very dull at present. Candles will be distributed after High Mass at St. Cecilia’s Church, Warrensburgh on Sunday for the ceremony of blessing throats, customary on St. Blaze’s day. The dedication of the new Methodist Episcopal Church in North Thurman was largely attended on Sunday, Jan. 30, 1910 considering the big storm of the day before. The church will seat about 160 persons and it was comfortably filled for the dedication. A troop of jubilee singers will be the main attraction Feb. 19, 1910 in the entertainment course of the Epworth League of the Warrensburgh Methodist Episcopal Church. Fred Pratt of West Bolton recently lost a nice lot of pork, presumably due to marauding bears. There is now known to be a bear trap in that area and someone may feel the consequences if they are not careful. D.C. Remington has opened a shop in the second story of Lewis Evert’s building on Lower Main Street, Warrensburgh, and is prepared to do carriage painting and trimming. Lemuel Woodward has begun work on the destruction of the old storage shed for lumber that has been standing for so many years on Hudson St., Warrensburgh. C.S. Wade’s team cut loose and ran from the depot in North Creek up through the village on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 1910 but after the excitement was over, no damage was done. In North Thurman, Henry Westcott was called home from work in the lumber woods because of the illness of his little child. Hilon Westcott is drawing pulp wood for Charles Smith of Garnet. In Johnsburgh Noble Armstrong shipped a car load of cattle and sheep. Twin babies, a boy and a girl were born to Mr. and Mrs. G.D. Easton of North River. Emerett Walker of Bolton Landing broke one of his wrists while loading logs. Mrs. Joseph Dunn is confined to her bed at Hague and is unable to use one of her limbs due to a fall she took off her front porch.

To the editor: The Adirondack Park Agency in conjunction with the Nature Conservancy, the Adirondack Mountain Club, Citizens to Protect the Adirondacks, Earth First, Adirondack Council and others clearly have a goal: to rid the Adirondacks of man and his property. What the APA has done financially and mentally to so many private landowners is beyond comprehension. LeRoy Douglas of Black Brook spent a small fortune to save his land from the APA’s clutches, as did John Mayes, also of Black Brook. Thanks go to attorney Matt Norfolk of Lake Placid, and Howard Aubin, the councilman of Black Brook for revealing collusion between the APA and the Nature Conservancy. The APA then dropped the case and said they found no violations after years of absolute torture and attorney’s fees. I quote the first APA Commissioner, Whitman Daniels, who in 1971 stated the APA's intention to "Protect the environment while aiding the economy in the Adirondacks." The APA has strayed way too far from this concept since 1971. The Adirondack Park Agency is NOT worth saving. The APA only protects their own. Ann LaBastille, a former member of the APA, built a cabin in the park with no permit to do so. When this was reported to her agency, the APA convened and gave her an "after the fact" permit — end of story. Also, in recent years, seven members and employees of the APA headquarters in Ray Brook caught with state-owned computers watching and displaying pornography during Governor Pataki's watch. These seven people were never fined, suspended or fired — but only lost two days vacation pay. The APA protects their own. The horror stories go on and on. Maynard Baker Warrensburg
Main St. is already commercial
To the editor: I am 100 percent behind Stewart's moving to the vacant lot at the corner of Route 9 and Stewart Farrar Street. There's a Subway, Family Dollar, and Grand Union across the street, so I don't think a Stewart's is going to change the feel of the neighborhood. Main Street is pretty much a business district already. When I was younger, I worked for Stewart's and they are a great company that takes pride in supporting local causes. Those of us who like to shop there will be happy to see the new location and better access. Linda Harrington, Main St., Warrensburg
of our town’s heritage! To the editor: The proposed acquisition and development of property on Stewart Farrar Ave. by Stewart’s Shops should have every Warrensburg resident, historian and business owner concerned. Preserving the historical charm and grandeur of Warrensburg needs to be at the forefront of all development proposals. A major mistake has already taken place on the same property when the beautiful Cunningham house was demolished to make room for a parking lot that was never utilized anyway. The historical significance will never be restored and the end result certainly did nothing to improve business, property values or aesthetics. As a gateway to the beautiful North Country, Warrensburg has a lot to offer business and property owners alike. However, permitting destruction of the town’s heritage and the very attributes that define this community will not result in a positive outcome. Stewart’s new Lake George store is a great improvement over the old facility and would be a welcomed improvement to their existing store in Warrensburg. However, efforts should be concentrated on acquiring the dilapidated Potter ’s Diner property for this endeavor. A clean, well-kept facility would be a welcoming sight for all, would blend well with existing retail businesses in the area and have much less impact on the solitude of area residents. I would also like to see more emphasis placed on construction requirements to compliment area architecture and culture such as what has been done in Lake Placid and many local communities. We live and work in a very special area of the U.S., so decisions such as this need to be closely reviewed to ensure the goodwill of all, not a select few for sole personal gain.

A
local lady called and wishes to thank six Thurmanites for their thoughtfulness and generosity. She had a very nice surprise when she found her fuel tank had been filled, in this last week of January just when our temperatures dropped way below zero. Thank you to the secret angels! Now that our ground hog has nestled back in his warm den after looking out last week on Feb. 2, we have another holiday, and this one is for love-birds — Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! But are those other birds — snow birds — keeping warm in the south? A call came in this week from a gentleman who was excited to have seen a bald eagle in late January sitting in a tree near the river when he was taking a trip via state Rte. 418 to Warrensburg. Congratulations to Cheryl Kenyon for being elected as president of the Warrensburg chamber of Commerce. I have only three Persis Granger books left — two of the original Adirondack Gold volumes, and one of the sequel, “A Summer of Strangers.” If you wish to get one, give me a call at 623-2580. The books are $11.95 and $9.95.
The Thurman Emergency Medical Services squad meets at 6 p.m. Sunday Feb. 14, at the High Street squad building. Meetings are open to the public and at this time there is a need for volunteers. The EMS group is also planning to start up a junior squad, age 14 and up. Call and leave a message 623-9014 and all will be called back, we’re told. The Thurman town board will hold their fiscal meeting, open to the public, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 16. The regular monthly business meeting follows at 7 p.m. Residents are encouraged to air their opinions at the meetings. Bring your sweetheart to the next meeting of the Sugar Loaf Seniors on Saturday Feb. 20 which will incorporate a Valentine’s Day theme. Bring a dish for luncheon at noon at the Thurman Town Hall and join the other seniors from our area. The group will be discussing upcoming trips during this year. Call 623-9425 for details.
Town government news review
Bob and Becky Hitchcock of Drexel Rd. have returned from an extended visit in Gainesville, Fla. where they enjoyed time with their son Jason Sparks and family. Their grandson Hayden is now three years old. Congratulations to Steven Smith who made the Dean’s List at ACC and to his brother Eric who has been accepted at Delhi University. All the family is proud, boys, keep up the good work! Get well wishes are out to Elmer Buyce, Becky Hitchcock, Boyd Guynes, Don Vopleus, Richard Wormwood, and Ed Brown.
At the fiscal meeting held Dec. 15, discussion occurred on how to reduce veterinary bills. Also, Councilman Leon Galusha reported that National Grid has pledged to look into ways to help save energy at the town hall. It was noted that the town assessors will not be moving into the town hall until the ramp for those with physical limitations is installed. Councilman Al Vasak volunteered to survey area landfill operations to check on disposal prices, to see if some minor fee increases would be appropriate. Two town employees resigned in December — town Tax Collector Eileen Baker, and part-time account clerk Susan Shepler. At the December meeting, the board voted to appoint Robin Croissant as Tax Collector for the term ending Dec. 31, 2011. Discussion occurred regarding the position of accounts clerk, with talk centering on the town board deciding who to hire for the position, rather than allowing the supervisor to choose, as has occurred in the past. After a closed-door session, the meeting was adjourned.
Gather your coupons … and multi-stack!
L
ast week, I introduced you to the concept of multistacking, a term I use to refer to any deal at the grocery store that involves applying multiple discounts to the purchase of the same items. Through multi-stacking, shoppers can enjoy even greater savings at the register each week, leveraging the power of store coupons, manufacturer coupons and additional sales or special promotions being held at the store. My favorite deals are “money-back” supermarket sales, in which part of what you pay for your items is returned to you at checkout in the form of a Catalina coupon good for money off your next purchase. One of the stores I shop at recently had a “Spend $30, get $15 back” sale on a variety of items. I get very excited when I see these sales, because that $30 is the total before coupons are factored in – pre-coupon, I call it. This particular deal included a variety of cereals. All of them were priced at $2 a box. By buying 15 boxes I could reach the $30 spending mark and qualify for the special sale. Now, right away, I suspect a few of my readers may be snickering a bit. Fifteen boxes of cereal? In one shopping trip? You bet! At my store, these great, high-level moneyback sales tend to come around only once every few months or so. When they do, it’s a great opportunity to stock up on the cheap. Cereal is an excellent item to add to your grocery stockpile at home. It typically doesn’t outdate for 11 months or more. And when you buy more, you save more. I always take advantage of these sales when they come along. And I can’t remember a time when I paid more than a quarter a box for a name-brand cereal. Really. That’s actually the high end of what I’ll pay. I typically pay much less than that for cereal, as you’ll see during my story of this $30/$15 sale. As I entered the cereal aisle, I was on the lookout for instore coupons. It’s always a good idea to scan for coupons that may be in dispensers or on the shelves of your supermarket. When I see coupons for products I like I always take a few, because I will have those coupons on hand next time a sale comes around. Sometimes, the coupon you need to sweeten a deal is hanging right in front of you on the shelf. Keep your eyes open! That was the case with my cereal buy. As I added 15 box-

es to my cart, I spied a tear pad of $1 coupons for the cereal hanging on the shelf right under the boxes. So, I took 15 of them. I never clean out a store of coupons; there are typically more than a hundred coupons on a tear pad. Don’t be afraid to take what you will use! Remember, coupons are placed there in the hope that you will use them and try the product. I headed to the register By Jill Cataldo with my 15 boxes of $2 cereal and 15 $1 coupons. The cashier scanned my cereal and the register total came to $30. I handed the cashier my $1 coupons; after they were redeemed, my bill was $15. I paid $15… and I received $15 back in Catalina coupons good for my next shopping trip. So, I got back the same amount of money I spent on the cereal. My 15 boxes of cereal are, essentially, free. I’ve stressed this point in previous columns but I can’t say it often enough: shoppers must think of coupons as cash. They are essentially a form of cash, for shoppers and for the stores where we do business. When a supermarket has a sale like a “Spend $30, get $15 back,” shoppers still spend $30 on the items. My $1 coupons “paid” for $15 of my $30 spending and the store will get that $15 back from the manufacturer when it redeems the coupons. The $15 in Catalina coupons that I received function just like cash in the store. They’re good for anything I want to buy on my next shopping trip. So, I view this as having exchanged one form of cash for another… but I’m still holding the $15 in my hand that I just paid for the cereal. It’s just in the form of a coupon now. And you know how much I love coupons!

Guest Opinion
We need Murphy to stand up for health care reform O
n a cold day almost a year ago, many of us stood beside U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy, then a U.S. legislative candidate, as he pledged to work with President Obama and his Congressional colleagues to fight for quality, affordable health care in 2010. Murphy eloquently said that “It’s shameful that in the richest country in the world that we can’t provide basic health care for everyone in our community.” We worked hard to elect him last year primarily because of this commitment. Yet, Congressman Murphy deeply disappointed us by voting against the House health care reform bill in November. Scott’s vote was contrary to the interests of his constituents, including moderate income people struggling to pay for health care, people with coverage who are driven into bankruptcy due to high out-of-pocket costs, chronically ill people who can’t get health insurance because of outrageous “pre-existing” coverage limitations, and small businesses that want to offer their employees coverage but can’t due to rising health care costs. According to House staff, the bill will allow 15,500 small businesses in the 20th Congressional District to provide insurance through tax credits, protect up to 1,200 families from bankruptcy and provide coverage to 35,000 uninsured residents. Roughly 8,000 area seniors with Medicare Part D who now have to pay their full drug costs would have a significant portion of these costs covered immediately. And coverage would improve for hundreds of thousands with employer-based coverage. House and Senate leaders are working on a final bill with the President. Yes, the legislation can be improved. For example, the subsidies should be increased so that more people will be able to afford to purchase health insurance, and the proposed tax on health care plans should be eliminated. But, on balance, the bill will represent a major milestone in the nation’s march to provide quality affordable coverage to every American. Thirty million more will be covered, and the rest of us will be protected from outrageous insurer practices like “pre-existing” coverage limitations and lifetime caps on benefits. With health care costs expected to increase from $2.3 to 4.3 trillion dollars by 2017, we simply can’t let this chance at reform slip away for another generation. On Jan. 11, Citizen Action launched a new website, http://standupscott.org with a petition for New Yorkers who supported Rep. Murphy during his campaign to ask him to vote for health care reform when Congress takes its final vote. Let’s hope that Congressman Murphy stands with the interests of his constituents next time.

Hotel proposed for Schroon Lake By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Construction of a new $8 million hotel in Schroon Lake could begin this year, as talks are now under way to bring a national chain to state Rte. 9 south of the hamlet. Roger Friedman, one of the investors in the project, spoke this week about bringing the first accommodation of its type ever to the Schroon Lake community. “It’s no secret we’ve been discussing a hotel,” Friedman said. “ It’s needed badly in our community.” Joining Friedman in the investment group are his brother, Joel, and David and Jane Kaufman, summer residents of Schroon. Plans call for approximately 81 rooms and suites, meeting rooms, an indoor pool and fitness center. It’s uncertain if there will be a restaurant or other amenities. Joel Friedman said he and his partners are still discussing which hotel franchise to align with. “We’re looking for a mid-scale property appealing to both the highway traveler and the leisure-destination traveler,” he said, noting several studies over 30 years have indicated the need for hotel rooms in Schroon. The Friedmans said they believe a new hotel will be an economic boost to the entire community. “We need tourism dollars in Schroon Lake,” Roger Friedman said, adding that construction could begin as soon as spring or summer.

Judge: APA must pay farm’s legal fees By Matt Bosley matt@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — The Adirondack Park Agency will be required to pay at least some of the legal fees incurred by an Essex farmer who prevailed against them in court last summer, a judge ruled Feb. 3. Acting Essex County State Supreme Court Judge Richard Meyer said the Lewis Family Farm, owned by Salim "Sandy" and Barbara Lewis, is entitled to counsel fees and other expenses arising from a legal battle with the agency regarding farmworker housing. Meyer ordered a hearing, scheduled for Feb. 26, to determine just how much of the $208,000 sought by the farm is entitled for recovery under the Equal Access to Justice Act, which requires government agencies to pay legal fees of a prevailing party unless they can show they were “substantially justified” in their position. According to Meyer, the APA was not “substantially justi-
fied” in its decision to assert jurisdiction over three modular homes built to house farmworkers on the 1,200-acre organic farm on the outskirts of Whallonsburg. “In arriving at its administrative determination, now annulled, the APA went beyond the statutory language of its own definitions,” Meyer stated, echoing his November 2008 decision in favor of the farm, which was later unanimously affirmed by a mid-level appeals court. Meyer also said the APA went beyond their authority in an effort to “assert jurisdiction, impose a $50,000 civil penalty, and, incredibly, require Lewis Family Farm to waive ‘the right to challenge Agency jurisdiction and the review clocks otherwise applicable.’” “We’re pleased with the decision,” said Lewis. “It’s been a long time coming, but it’s just another step in the phase of this thing.” Lewis’ attorney, John Privitera, called the decision “a victory for the Lewis Farm, farmers in the Champlain Valley and all small businesses in New York.”
Sandy Lewis, co-owner of Lewis Family Farm, addresses the Essex County Board of Supervisors Jan. 4.

Area students hear about leadership, success strategies
Motivational speaker John Beede talks about pathways to success during a leadership coference for youth Feb. 4 at the Great Escape Lodge in Queensbury. QUEENSBURY — A total of 200 students chosen from 23 area schools heard about success strategies at a leadership conference held Feb. 4 at the Great Escape Lodge. Hosted by the Washington-Saratoga-WarrenHamilton-Essex BOCES, the students represented schools from Northern Warren and southern Hamilton counties. During the day-long event, they participated in workshops and activities led by motivational speaker and mountain climber John Beede. The author of "Climb On: Success Strategies for Teens," Beede sought to inspire the students to take on leadership roles in their schools and community. He spoke about selecting goals, making a plan to accomplish those goals and then taking the steps to follow through. Beede then led the students through exercises intended to sharpen their ability to achieve their aims. The students attending included those from Bolton Central, North Warren, War-

rensburg Central, Indian Lake and Minerva Central and the three area BOCES centers. The students were selected by their teachers and guidance counselors to participate. Renee Peattie, a guidance counselor at the BOCES Alternative High, said the selection is often a surprise to the students. Many don't consider themselves leaders, she said. "It's not about being the most popular or outgoing," Peattie said. "We identify students that have the potential to be leaders and those who will bring these skills back to school." Elizabeth Jones, a health occupations student at BOCES Southern Adirondack Education Center, said she was thrilled to be part of the conference. "It pushes you to reach your potential," said Elizabeth, who was one of 28 students who planned the event with BOCES personnel. "We are hearing things we need to hear, like believe in yourself — It's fun too."

Mid-winter arrives in the North Country
I
n the North Country, mid-winter is usually defined by the middle weeks of February, when many local schools typically begin a traditional, mid-winter break. Although it may be difficult for many local residents to believe, we have already passed the mid-point of the season and winter is actually on the wane. It doesn’t seem possible, with snow on the ground, solid ice on the lakes and a below zero nip to the air, that winter is on the way out. Yet, on the calendar, spring arrives on March 20, only 35 days distant. However, there remain a wealth of opportunities available for locals to get out and enjoy the winter season with a variety of classes, courses and events in the region that provide individuals the opportunity to learn or refine new outdoor skills. I am always encouraged to learn of the numerous programs in the region that help to connect local children and their families to the pleasures and treasures of the Adirondacks. Saranac Lake, which is now in its 113th year of hosting the longest-running, winter carnival in the nation, has a full schedule of events planned to get local folks outside. The annual frying pan toss is always a crowd favorite. For a complete Carnival schedule and agenda visit www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com or call the Chamber at 891-1990 for further information. The counties of Clinton and Franklin have also developed an outstanding listing of local recreational resources that are available online at http://www.scribd.com/doc/11954129/getMoving-Guide-to-Physical Activity. The website features a variety of local events and programs that allow local residents to remain active and healthy.
Guides, Gander Mountain and Frisbee Golf in Mid-Winter One of my favored programs, the 4-H Adirondack Guide Program, is again being offered in Northern Warren County and sponsored by Cornell University Cooperative Extension. An orientation meeting for the program is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Cornell University Coopera-
tive Extension Education Center, 377 Schroon River Road in Warrensburg. The Adirondack Guide Program is designed for boys and girls (12-18 years old) who would like to explore, in depth, natural resource related topics. The program gives teenagers an opportunity to gain knowledge in the biological sciences and develop teaching and leadership skills. It is conducted in an informal atmosphere, conducive to building confidence and self-esteem. By acquiring new outdoor skills, participants also develop new recreational outlets they can share with friends and family. Participants can advance from the Apprentice Guide level, through Intermediate, to full Senior 4-H Adirondack Guide status while working with licensed Adirondack Guides, Forest Rangers, Fish and Wildlife Biologists, Foresters and skilled woodsmen. Activities include field trips and classes, canoe and hiking trips, and community service projects. Topics taught include map and compass reading; canoeing; tree, plant, flower and wildlife identification; environmental teaching techniques; woods lore and safety; first aid and lifeguard training; outdoor clothing and equipment; wilderness trip coordination, and global positioning systems (GPS). For more information, or to register, call the Cornell Cooperative Extension office at 623-3291 or 668-4881. For further information, ask to speak with John Bowe. At the Pok-O-MacCready Outdoor Education Center in Willsboro, their annual Winter Break Camp, hosted from Feb. 15-19, will feature winter activities, including snow tubing, winter hiking, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. The facility also has a Winter Family Weekend planned for Feb. 19-22 and a course on ice climbing set for Feb. 20. Visit www.pmoec.org for program details or call 963-7967.

Warrensburg, NY (February, 2010) – Scott Evans, proprietor of C.S.C., has already gained a reputation for offering the best prices for gold, silver, coins and collectibles in the 4 months since he first opened his doors to the public. He knows this because folks who have dealt with him when buying or selling their valuables have come back to C.S.C. after shopping around. Many people are not familiar with the true dollar value of their gold, jewelry or collectibles. That’s why Scott offers free appraisals and encourages individuals to get a second or even a third opinion for the best price. But he always says “Why go to the city when the mountains offer more”. C.S.C. has memorabilia for sale for those who have an interest in collecting. Among the items C.S.C. carries are baseballs cards, tobacco cards, period glassware, estate jewelry, coins, stamps, Indian pottery and arrowheads. Valentine’s Day is almost here, come in for beautiful gold, silver or diamond jewelry for your special someone at 60%-80% off retail store prices! Scott will make house calls by appointment in areas such as Tupper Lake, Blue Mountain, Saranac, North Creek and the surrounding areas. In addition, he is currently seeking to purchase cars and trucks from 1950’s – 1970’s, any make or model, whether they are functional or not. Call (518) 796-3331 to make an appointment. C.S.C. is located at 3734 Main Street, Warrensburg, 2nd light north or south on Route 9. Store hours are Monday thru Saturday, 8:30am – 4:30pm.

Facing budget axe, VICs fate mulled By Chris Morris denpubs@denpubs.com PAUL SMITHS — A diverse group of officials, activists and administrators packed a room at Paul Smith’s College Thursday to discuss the future of the Paul Smith’s Visitor Interpretive Center. Governor David Paterson’s proposed 2010-2011 state budget calls for the closure of the Adirondack Park Agency’s two visitors interpretive centers – one is in Paul Smith’s, the other in Newcomb. The closures would eventually translate to a $583,000 annual savings for the state. Last week, the APA’s Keith McKeever said the centers aren't considered part of the agency’s core mission. But it was clear Thursday that area residents and organizations are willing to step in and keep the Paul Smith’s facility running. Paul Smith’s College President John Mills facilitated the
roundtable discussion, which was more of a brainstorming session than anything else. Mills detailed the college’s role in relation to the center. “The APA now oversees 1,398 acres of the property,” he said. “We have the rest. The APA pays the town onethird of the assessed value of the land, that’s the lease agreement. The buildings that are there are not taxed, that will be a serious consideration going forward.” The buildings at the VIC were maintained by the APA and funded through the agency’s budget. Under the lease agreement, the state may only use the facilities for purposes of public education. Mills also noted the buildings and land can only be sublet with college approval. Mills said the college is in no financial position to operate or maintain the center. For one, liability insurance is far too costly and two, the college cannot afford to hire staff.

istence of the center. Most of those in attendance agreed that the end of the VICs’ relationship with the state provides a unique economic and educational opportunity for the region. Adirondack entrepreneur Brian McDonnell urged those in attendance to consider the financial benefits of expanding the center ’s role. “We’ve had the pleasure of the state running the facility since it opened,” he said. “Now we have an opportunity: it can be a place that offers much more than what it has offered.” He said the original concept of having the Center in Paul Smith’s was to bring more people to the area for both education and enjoyment — and to spend money in the local communities. McDonnell noted that the facility’s potential has never been fully realized. “I understand about the liability issue, but there are ways around that,” he said. “People come from all over the country and they want to learn more about the Adirondack Park. We have to have something like the VIC open that serves as a library and also as a model for what the rest of the park represents.” At the end of the meeting, board members from the Adirondack Park Institute said they would discuss the possibility of becoming the lead agency in steering future discussions regarding the centers. Mills said Paul Smith’s College is committed to facilitating those discussions. “We need to keep this going,” he said. “We need to keep hearing ideas from all sides, and this is a good first step.”

And that’s why Paul Smith’s College is asking for input on how best to maintain the facility as an educational facility for park residents and visitors alike. Assemblywoman Janet Duprey said the chances of getting the VICs back into the budget are slim-to-none. “It’s a decision that’s been made — and I don’t want to be negative, but I don’t see a reversal on it,” she said. “I can tell you that we’ll do whatever we can to find different sources of revenue if that’s possible. But I’m looking for ideas to take back with me to Albany.” Harrietstown Supervisor Larry Miller asked if municipalities in the region could help keep the VIC running as is. “I know money is tight,” he said. “But what about the possibility of soliciting towns, villages and counties to see if they’d be interested and willing to help fund it?” Miller noted that area communities benefit from the ex-

Bolton 41, Willsboro 39 WILLSBORO -- Bolton fought back from a four-point deficit in the fourth quarter Feb. 5 to beat the scrappy Willsboro team 41-39. Performing way beyond their enrollment figures might suggest, Willsboro kept the score low, a rarity for the hotshooting Bolton squad. Bolton stalwart Dominic Pfau scored 13 points to lead the Eagles. Mitchell Jordon contributed nine points and 13 rebounds. Bill Smith and Matthew Smith offered up six each, and Matt Peterson aided with seven. Pfau and Peterson scored two three-pointers each and Bill Smith hit one trey. With the win, Bolton’s record hiked a notch to improve to 9-3 in the Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference.
Bolton 45, Elizabethtown 36 BOLTON LANDING -- Dom Pfau scored 14 points in a game Feb. 3 versus Elizabethtown that ended up in a solid crowd-pleasing win for the Eagles. Pfau’s tally included three treys in the league win. He was assisted by Mitchell Jordan with 11 points and nine rebounds, Matt Smith with nine rebounds and four points, Bill Smith with eight points, Tyler Calzada with five points, and Matt Peterson with three. Calzada and Peterson had one three-pointer each.

Corinth 35, Warrensburg 33 WARRENSBURG -- The Burghers again proved they can play competitively with the top teams of their league as their aggressive defense held Corinth to a low-scoring tie until a basket within two seconds from the game's conclusion sealed the win for the Tomahawks. Each team put forth an efficient defense, forcing their opponents to shoot from the outside. Corinth hit five three-pointers, and Warrensburg hit two — one each for Monroe and Ryan Belden. Jordon Charbonneau's layup with 2 seconds left determined the win for Corinth, which has only lost one game this season. John Joseph led with 14 points, Ryan Belden contributed 10, Monroe added five, Mike Perrone chipped in three, and Brendan Frye, normally a high scorer, was held to one.
Lake George 58, Hadley-Luzerne 39 LAKE LUZERNE -- Lake George used their offensive power, height and solid execution Feb. 5 to defeat Hadley Luzerne 58-39. Leading the Warrior effort was Senior Matt McGowan with 20 points, along with teammate Alex Hladik contributing 15 points. They were assisted by Matt Stover with eight points, Jeff Maldonado with five, J.D. Jenkins with three, Chris Kosz with one and Cameron Dorman, Erik Jones and Kyle Burden, two each. Eagle Josh Densmore was productive despite the Warriors stonewall defense, scoring 14 points including three 3-pointers. Forced to shoot from the outside by the Warriors, the Eagles gained five long-distance buckets With the victory, Lake George advanced to 10-2 in the Adirondack League, 12-3 overall. Lake George’s Junior Varsity.
Lake George 65, North Warren 33 CHESTERTOWN -- Former North Warren standout Alex Hladik returned to his former court Feb. 3 as a member of the Lake George Warriors, and he scored 18 points — most all in the third quarter — to overpower North Warren 65-35. Matt McGowan contributed 14 points for Lake George, aided by Aaron Chambers with 12, Matt Stover with 10, Jeff Maldonado with five, and J.D. Jenkins with three. Chris Kosz and Eric Jones chipped in two each in this balanced effort. Joe Aiken led North Warren with 13, aided by Jeff Bennett and Kristian Seeley with seven each, Bryan Beckler with four and Benn Frasier with two. Each team forced the other to shoot outside, and the longdistance hotshots from each squad had a heyday. For Lake George, Chambers hit four, and Hladik two; and for the Cougars, Aiken hit three and Bennett, one.
LAKE GEORGE -- The Lake George Girls Basketball team was firing on all cylinders this week when they buried the scrappy, athletic Hadley-Luzerne team 56 to 19. They came out of the locker room supercharged, tallying a 15-0 first-quarter score to pace the game. Warrior Brittany Baker scored 14 points to lead three players in double digits. Kelly Flaherty scored 11 and Caroline Murphy tallied 10 points for Lake George. They were assisted by Sara Anderson with 6, Jenna Bechard with five, Chelsea Sipowicz with 4 and Amanda Chambers with two. Baker ’s tally included two three pointers. Flaherty and Bechard hit one trey each. With the win, Lake George advanced to 10-2 in the Adirondack League. Lake George ‘s Junior Varsity won the contest.

War Eagles make a statement in Class CC tourney By Brendan Manley denpubs@denpubs.com SCHALMONT — The Lake George/Hadley-Luzerne War Eagles walked away from Saturday’s Class CC Section II Tournament with heads held high, despite failing to crack the top three in the team standings. For the fledgling program, which started just two years ago, finishing fourth overall with 148 points behind seasoned competitors Hudson Falls (213), Watervliet (194) and Ravena (178.5), was a clear moral victory the team can now build upon. “The team lived up to the coaches’ expectations,” War Eagles co-coach Jack LaBombard said after the competition. “We knew we couldn’t win the tournament — you can’t beat Hudson Falls with just a two-year-old program — but we beat some very good teams. We were all satisfied.” Based upon their performances last Saturday, seven War Eagle wrestlers qualified for the Section II Finals, to be held this Friday and Saturday at the Glens Falls Civic Center: weight-class champion Zach Olson at 125 pounds; Jason Yard, runner-up at 189 pounds; Ryan Matuszak, third place at 96 pounds; Jack Clark, third at 285 pounds; Dan Jardine, fourth at 103 pounds; Joe Plante, fourth at 199 pounds; and Cecil Hayes, fourth at 130 pounds. The red-hot Olson grappled with a No. 2-seeded opponent in the final round on Saturday, earning a win by pin, and wasn’t alone in his efforts. Among other bright spots, LaBombard said that wrestler Jack Clark battled hard for his No. 3 finish, and even those War Eagles who came up on the losing end still fought valiantly, like Hayes, who suffered one of the team’s multiple one-point defeats. “We had a couple of heartbreaking losses,” Labombard said. Mourn not — LaBombard and Co. are already looking ahead to the finals this weekend, where the stakes grow still higher: winners and runners-up will compete Feb. 26 and Feb. 27 at the state tournament at the Times Union Center in Albany. While LaBombard admitted he’d be surprised to see the embryonic War Eagles make it all the way to Albany this year, the team’s presence at the finals is a sure-fire sign of what’s to materialize as the group continues to mature. “We’re not there yet, but we’re sneaking up on them,”

LaBombard said, chuckling. “The other coaches, and the other schools, they know we’re coming.”

Burghers host popular Class D Sectionals By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Local high school wrestlers performed well in the Class D Section II tournament held for the second time in recent history at Warrensburg Central School, and school officials said the tournament was a success due to an extensive staff of local dedicated volunteers. Burgher standout Donovan Santisteban won the 119pound weight class and his teammates Aidan Szabo and Beecher Baker placed second in Saturday‘s Class D Section II Wrestling Tournament, leading Warrensburg High School to a fourth-place finish Saturday among 12 teams at the daylong competition. Santisteban, Szabo and Baker were aided by teammates Jon Vaisey, Zack Baer and Lucas Nelson who each placed fourth — and by Tony Auricchio, who pleased local fans by winning a consolation round heavyweight match to take third. All these seven Burgher wrestlers are headed to the Section II tournament Saturday. Warrensburg hosted the event, at which the Duanesburg Central team scored the most wins with 247 points, followed by Whitehall and Salem. Duanesburg captured titles in seven weight classes in the lower middleweight and heavyweight classes. Whitehall won the 103, 112, 160, 171 classes. The crowd cheered Santisteban in his finals matchup against Duanesburg’s Curt Rowley, who was top-seeded in the tournament. Tied with Rowley with 30 seconds on the clock and unsure whether he could continue his dominance on the mat, Santisteban took a risk and allowed an escape, putting him one point behind. The clock ticking down, Santisteban shot for several takedowns, and the two ended out of the ring several times. Santisteban steered the action back into the center of the mat, and he charged in for a sudden snapdown with only 13 seconds left in the match, giving him the winning 4-3 margin for first place. The local spectators erupted in cheers, Burgher Coach Mark Trapasso said Sunday. “The crowd loved it,” he said. “It was a fabulous feeling,” Santisteban said Sunday. “It was like my last match in the Warrensburg gym — I wasn’t about to lose my last match in front of my home crowd.” Aidan Szabo and Beecher Baker also wrestled close, competitive matches. Baker was tied with his opponent, the talented Al Aubin of Whitehall, when Baker made a single misstep of riding him
In the closing seconds of the Section II Class D Finals, Burgher wrestler Donovan Santisteban eyes his opponent Curt Rowley to strategize a takedown. In a sudden snapdown with seconds left in the match, Santisteban gained two points and won the match 4-3 to capture the Championship in the 119-pound weight class.

a little high and Aubin caught his head, pulled him over the top and pinned him in 2:21. Aubin was the 2009 Class D runnerup, seeded second this year. Szabo, only a seventh grader, also was close to winning, Trapasso said. “Aidan came off the mat and said ‘I could have beat that kid,’ — and that‘s what you want to hear as a coach,” Trapasso said. “Aidan was under a lot of pressure as a seventh grader, underneath the lights, with a big cheering crowd on
a Saturday night -- he was a little nervous.” Trapasso said the event gave Aidan valuable experience. “Next time the tournament comes around, he’ll win it.” Also putting in a good performance was Tony Auricchio, who weighs 266, yet he’s won his share of the matches this year in the 285-pound heavyweight class. Auricchio and Zach Baer had not been seeded, but beat those who had. Auricchio won third place Saturday by pinning Bill Engelhardt of Cambridge, seeded second at heavyweight, with a time of 4:00. Trapasso said Auricchio, a Junior, showed considerable potential. “He’s a gamer, he’s going to win a lot of matches for us LAKE GEORGE NORTH CREEK WARRENSBURG in the future,” Trapasso said.
