Lake George tourism robust as summer winds down By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com644-9758 LAKE GEORGE — Lake George business owners and managers — distressed in July over the daily rain that dampened sales — expressed enthusiasm Monday over the tourism traffic concluding the summer, particularly the long Labor Day weekend. “We have had very strong business — this has been the best Labor Day in years,” said Lake George Super 8 Motel co-owner Judy Crocitto. “We haven’t seen traffic like this in Lake
Candidates sparring for for Primary votes By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The upcoming Primary elections in Warren County are lively this year, as a relatively large number of positions in town governments are contended. No less than 13 Republican primaries are to be held Sept. 13 in towns across northern Warren County alone. Competition is most heated in Lake George, where five Republicans will be vying to be their party’s representative for two Town Board seats. (See accompanying article for details.) Lake George’s supervisor race is uncontested in the Primary. But in November, Councilman Frank McCoy will face former Town Supervisor Dennis L. Dickinson (D). In Warrensburg, there’s a con-
tended race for supervisor between two seasoned candidates and a three way race between three successful entrepreneurs for two board seats (See article inside for details.) In Thurman, four G.O.P candidates are seeking two open board seats — one of Incumbent Charles Bills, and the other of Ruth Keller, who retired from the post this summer. Former Warrensburg Central School Athletic Director Albert Vasak was appointed just weeks to Keller ’s seat for the remainder of 2009. Vasak (R) and Bills (R) are challenged by former Town Justice candidate Glenda Duell (R,I) and Rebecca DeSourdy (R). For the Supervisor post, there’s no primary, but incumbent Red Pitkin (Ic., I) will be challenged by Randy Oppitz (D,C) and assessor Thomas Birdsall (R) in November.
In Stony Creek, vying for Town Supervisor will be incumbent Frank Thomas (R,Ic), challenged by Tara Tremaine Fisher (R,C). Battling for Superintendent of Highways are incumbent Neil Bradley (R, I), challenged by Ian Thomas (R,I), and with those independent party affiliations, all will be on the ballot again in November. For the town board, incumbents Warren Braman and Bill Liebl (R) are challenged by Harry Paul Gill (R,I). In the town of Bolton, Republican Ronald Conover (R,Ic.), a retired city planner, will be seeking the Supervisor post, as well as Alexander “Zandy” Gabriels (R,I), who held the office from 2002 through 2007. For two town board seats, incumbent Owen James Maranville (R, Ic) is challenged by Scott P. Anderson (R) and Gregory R. Smith (R). In November, Ed Corcoran (D) joins the
fray. For Town Justice, incumbent Harry Demarest (R) is challenged by Richard D. Sammis (R). For Highway Superintendent, incumbent Timothy A. Coon (R) is challenged by William A. Sherman (R, I) and in November, Anton Cooper (C) joins the race In Horicon, three candidates are seeking two spots on the Town Board. Incumbents Robert E. Olson (R) and Frank L. Hill (R) are challenged by Gary F. Frenz (R). In Johnsburg, there’s no primary for town board. In November, two Incumbents Ron Vanselow (D) and Arnold Stevens (R), will be challenged by Roger Mosher (I). There’s a primary contest, however, for Highway Superintendent with both Daniel B. Hitchcock (R,I) and Frederick T. Comstock (R,I) seeking the post.

$1 million grant for tourist train expected
Oscar’s begins recovery, rebuilding efforts after fire Smokehouse employees retain jobs
Leaders gripe about rail operator
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — The long-awaited extension of Warren County's tourist railway to Saratoga Springs may become reality as soon as next spring, county leaders learned last week. Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Fred Monroe said that he had been assured by state and federal representatives that $1 million in grant funding for repair of county train track in Saratoga County has been approved. The money would be spent on upgrading the 16-mile portion of the Warren County tourist rail line that runs between the Village of Corinth and the connection with CP Rail near Saratoga Springs. The grant is going to the Town of
WARRENSBURG — While the employees and the owners of Oscar ’s Smoke House gathered Monday to strategize how to rebuild their business devastated by a raging fire Friday, the community continued its outpouring of sympathy and support. The nationallyknown enterprise is operated by the family of Jerry Quintal. Jerry’s wife Kathy described Monday the extent of the response by the public to the fire, considered a total loss. “The community is really pulling together for us, from the sea of people who gathered in the field to watch the blaze, to the donations of food for the firefighters and our family, and all kinds of volunteering to help out — from demolition to rebuilding,” she said. “This

Program on Starbuck Farm’s heritage set for Sept. 19
Things that were accomplished during my ten years as supervisor: I received $6.7 million in grant monies in my 10 years as supervisor. State mandated capped landfill - $3 million - no cost to tax payers. $4.7 million state of the art sewer system - $2.5 million state grants, plus $1 million from Ron Stafford. $750,000 new waterline up main street - no cost to tax payers. 2 new wells plus 500,000 gallon storage tank with grant monies left over from sewer grants. Water meters installed in Town Water District from grant monies.
Andy LeBlanc of Barn Works hews hemlock at the Starbuck Farm for the Horse Barn restoration. A presentation on the history of the farm is set for Saturday, Sept. 19. Photo by Paula Dennis
Now Mr. Geraghty wants to spend $170,000 to upgrade water meters so we can meter unsafe drinking water. A memo from NYS Dept. of Health says Swan Street well is contaminating the well water I put in. If elected I will spend $30,000 of the $170,000 for upgrading meters for a new well and shut Swan Street well down. A savings of $140,000. Mr. Geraghty’s budget from 2005-2009 has increased spending by $725,000, an increase of spending of 28% in 3 short years. But the amount to be raised by taxes is 39% in 3 years. I need the support of voters in Warrensburg on September 15, from noon till nine p.m., to stop this fiscal irresponsible spending, or I predict taxes will climb even higher. I fully intend to lower taxes in the town of Warrensburg as I did from 1988-1997. How? As you would watch your budget at home; by restraining your spending.
Yours truly for a more affordable town supervisor, Maynard D. Baker

CHESTERTOWN — The public is invited to a presentation at 3:30 p.m. Saturday Sept. 19 at the historic 400-acre Starbuck Farm detailing the history of the Starbuck family and their farm —established in the 1790’s — and to learn about the farmstead’s restoration and plans for the farm’s future. The afternoon program, to be presented on behalf of the Historical Society of the Town of Chester, begins with a Power Point presentation at 4 p.m. by archeologist and sixthgeneration farm owner David Starbuck and historic preservation consultant Paula Dennis. They will offer a detailed look into the historic preservation process that brought back two of the most threatened buildings on the farm, the corn house, circa 1800, and the horse barn, circa 1840.
A sampling of artifacts found beneath the buildings will help explain the important role archeology can play in supporting the restoration process as well as provide more information about family life there during the 19th century. A guided tour will follow offering scenic views of the surrounding landscape, fields and mountains as well as a glimpse inside each of the remaining historic farm buildings. Participants are welcome to bring a picnic dinner and blanket to enjoy and stay past twilight to view the night’s sky first hand or through viewing in the newly constructed observatory. All events are free of charge. The farm is located on the west side of Starbuck Hill Road. Take Theriot Avenue off state Rte. 8 by the North Warren Central School, Starbuck Hill Road is on your left.

Hundreds of runners expected for marathon fest By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — Athletes from around the nation and overseas will be in Schroon Lake Sept. 19 and 20 for the 13th annual Adirondack Marathon Distance Festival. Past races have attracted runners from Japan, United Kingdom, Egypt, Alaska, California, Oregon and elsewhere. Highlighting the festival on Sept. 20 will be the Adirondack Marathon, a 26.2-mile road race around Schroon Lake, which includes a two-person marathon relay. The festival also includes a half-marathon in Schroon Lake on Sunday Sept. 20, and a 5and 10-kilometer road races in Chestertown Saturday Sept. 19. New this year will be a 1K Children’s Fun Run for ages 4 through 12 at 2 p.m. Saturday Sept. 19, the day prior to the Adirondack Marathon. The Fun Run will begin near the Adirondack Marathon Finish Line (Leland Ave. in Schroon Lake) and will end by crossing the actual Adirondack
Marathon Finish Line. The entrance fee is $10 that will include a T- shirt and medal for each runner. There is on-line registration at www.adirondackmarathon.or g The half-marathon is closed with a field of 400 runners, while about 300 runners are expected in the full marathon. The marathon has been recommended by Runner’s World magazine as one of “Eight Great Events to Kick Off the Fall Racing Season.” The race was also named elsewhere as one of the top 50 races in the country. Prevention Magazine listed the Schroon race as one of the best “walker-friendly” events in the country. The marathon, 26 miles and 385 yards, will start at 9 a.m. on Main St. in Schroon Lake. The course circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon Lake town beach. This will be the final year for the course, which will be changed in 2010, according to Joel Friedman, race director.
Law Offices of
The course records in the marathon belong to David Herr, who ran the race in 2 hours, 36 minutes, 55 seconds, and Simone Stoeppler, who toured the course in 3:04:08. Bill Schwarz holds the hand cyclist mark of 1:45:32. People who wish to walk the marathon course can get started at 7 a.m. The course will remain open until 3 p.m. The marathoners have company over the second half of the course as the half-marathoners will toe the starting line in Adirondack at 10 a.m. to race to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later. The course records in the half marathon belong to Eric Blake, who ran it in 1:10:43, and Annette Acuff, who was clocked in 1:23:13. The Taiko drummers will be performing Sunday near the finish line. Marathon weekend begins Saturday Sept. 19 at 9:30 a.m.
with 5- and 10-kilometer runs through Chestertown. Beginning and ending at the Chester Municipal Center, Helpers Fund director Carl Lamm is hoping for more than 300 runners this year. Individual racers as well as teams can register Friday, Sept. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m. or Saturday morning from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the Chester Municipal Center. Also participating will be about 500 volunteers, who will man aid stations along the courses and work the finish area. Packet pick up for marathon and half marathon racers will be Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Schroon Lake Central School. At the same time there will be a running expo as well as local craft vendors. There will be a pasta dinner, open to runners and others, that night at 5:30 at Word of Life. Tickets are available at the expo and at the door.

WARRENSBURG — There’s a robust competition for the top office in town this year, with a choice between two experienced politicians seeking the supervisor post. Former town supervisor and funeral home owner Maynard D. Baker (R,I) is challenging incumbent supervisor Kevin Geraghty (R,C), long-time officer of the local fire company, for a four-year term. For Warrensburg town board, former town planning board member and chair Bryan Rounds (R) is challenging incumbent trustees John Alexander (R ), a funeral home owner, and Joseph Barlow, R,C,I) an insurance executive. At the center of the supervisor race are allegations by Baker that Geraghty has been extravagant with the taxpayers’ money — but Geraghty disputes the charge. Baker said that from 2005 to 2009, Geraghty increased the budget by $750,000, a hike of 28 percent. Geraghty counters that he wasn’t responsible for the first year ’s spending plan — it was his predecessor — and the tax rate has increased only 3.8 percent per year during his tenure, a figure Baker says doesn’t tell the whole story. But Geraghty added that much of the increases were due to mandated programs or expenses over which the local board doesn’t wield
control. He said this year ’s tax rate of $3.40 per $1,000 of assessed valuation is the town’s lowest since 1995. But Baker said this figure needs to be evaluated in light of the taxpayers recent hikes in assessments due to revaluation. Geraghty notes his fiscal cost-cutting has been proven as county budget officer — under his tenure this year, dozens of positions have been eliminated, and spending on programs and bureaucracy has been cut by millions of dollars. Also, he noted he has experience as an operations executive with a Fortune 500 company. Baker notes he has launched two successful funeral home enterprises. Baker has spoken out against installing and activating water meters, saying it’s an expensive proposition with upgrade costs projected at $170,000. Geraghty has countered that metered water is the responsible, fair way to charge, so people can’t abuse the system under flat charges. Baker has campaigned that one of the town’s wells, the Swan St. well, needs to go offline as it is producing water that doesn’t meet state standards. Rather than spend $170,000 on meters, he said that spending $35,000 for a new well would be a better investment. He’s also criticized Geraghty and the town board for spending another $140,000 on a street sweeper. He’s suggested the board should have paid $10,000 for repairs rather than the larger sum. Geraghty counters that the old street sweeper was getting costly to repair — and with its vital parts near failure, it was approaching the end of its useful life. Both Baker and Geraghty say they’ve been prudent with the taxpayers’ money. Geraghty’s been supervisor for four years, and Baker
served in the post from 1988 through 1997. Both said they were successful at obtaining grant money. Baker notes he closed the town landfill for $3 million at no cost to the taxpayer, obtained $3.5 million in grants for a $4.5 million sewer system for town residents, and was in power when a $500,000 water tank was constructed and $750,000 in water lines were laid, both at little or no cost to taxpayers. Geraghty noted his administration has brought a professional grants writer on staff who is both obtaining and seeking more and more grants, for parks and recreation, basic infrastructure, and other town amenities, as the months go by. Both are on the ticket with supplementary party labels, so they’ll undoubtedly be back wrangling in November.
Board candidates look to future In the town board race, incumbents John Alexander and Joe Barlow cite the accomplishments of the past four years, which include developing two town parks, bringing a manufacturing operation to the town Industrial Park, and overseing computerization of many town functions and records. Challenger Bryan Rounds, owner-operator of Bryan Rounds Paving & Excavating, echoes Baker ’s objective of cutting spending. “There’s an abundance of extravagance,” he said. Alexander and Barlow counter that they’ve been frugal with taxpayer money while vastly improving the lives of residents — plus that Baker and Rounds’ allies, Austin Markey and Dean Ackley, have voted in favor of the expenditures. Rounds argues that assessments are too high. Alexander counters that the town board has no control over assessments, equaliza-
tion rates, and school tax bills. Rounds, however, said that town employees shouldn’t be cruising around town in new town vehicles. Older models, with tighter control over use would be more frugal, he said. Also, the town seems management top-heavy, he said, with department heads earning about twice the average local private-sector wage. All three cite their successful business experience. Rounds notes also that he has personal experience in infrastructure construction, and that such expertise might be useful as the town takes on such pending upgrades. Barlow cites his involvement in a roster of community groups. Alexander notes his service on the school board and the Hudson Headwaters Board. Alexander notes his work in boosting public safety through his work to bring the sheriff ’s substation back to town. Rounds said his independent viewpoint would provide balance on the board. Both Rounds and Alexander said that their knowledge of municipal planning will be helpful in the future. Rounds served for 9 years on the town planning board. Alexander said that with Luther Forest developing and Gore Mountain evolving, Warrensburg has potential benefits if planning is strategic. “We’re in the middle of a lot of success stories, and we need to capitalize,” he said, suggesting that the hamlet expand northward. “We need to allow businesses to grow up here without APA restrictions,” he said. Rounds said that his talent as a natural-born negotiator would be useful on the town board, when the two factions chafe. “I can provide the voice of reason between opposing viewpoints,” he said.
Memorial service to honor heroes, victims of Sept. 11 attacks By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com
45999
WARRENSBURG — The region’s premier memorial service for those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is scheduled to be held Friday at 7 p.m. More than 200 people are expected to attend the emotion-filled public event, set for the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand in the center of town. Held annually on Sept. 11 since the year after the attacks, the candlelight service includes a crowd of people surrounding the bandstand, their faces illuminated with candlelight. Prayers, a solemn bell-ringing, wreath-laying, and memorial speeches are included in the ceremony. Musical selections will likely be offered by the Warrensburg High School Band. Also, the local American Legion post has annually passed out American flags for the public to display their patriotism during the ceremony. All area emergency responders have been invited to participate. Thurman firefighters and emergency squad members are expected to be among those on hand Friday. The ceremony is sponsored by the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. in conjunction with the Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services.

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets: In 'BOGO' We Trust
Secret #1: Coupons for "One Free Item" You may be surprised how many coupons for free products exist! You can regularly find coupons for free items in newspaper inserts, on the Internet or even in the stores you regularly shop. These are some of the easiest and most fun coupons to use! Recently, our newspaper inserts had coupons for one free loaf of a brand-name bread, a free single-serving beverage and a free air freshener. There's nothing better than getting something for free with little or no effort. Or is there? You may be surprised to learn that running right to the store with a coupon for a free item isn't necessarily the best way to use these types of coupons. When I get one of these coupons I file it away and then I watch the sales. If my
store features this item in a "Buy One, Get One Free" (BOGO) sale, that's when I redeem the coupon for the free item... because I will then get two of that item for free instead of one! Why does this work? I'll give you an example. I have a coupon for a free bag of frozen vegetables. The coupon states that it has a value of up to $1.99, which is what the store will receive when they redeem the coupon. That's also the normal price of the vegetables. But when the store puts the vegetables on sale BOGO, they're selling two bags for $1.99. If I walk in and buy two bags and pay cash, I'll pay $1.99 and get two, right? The same thing happens when I use my coupon for one free bag of vegetables. The coupon covers the $1.99 cost of the first bag, and the second bag is free.
This is all part of playing the coupon game. Getting one item for free is good, but getting two items for free is even better! Now, if my coupon gets close to the expiration date, of course I will redeem it and get my free product. But it often pays to play the waiting game, as the BOGO sales will play out in your favor more often than not. Over the course of the past few months, I kept track of the coupons for free items that I accumulated: 38 in all. I held all of them and watched closely, matching them to BOGO sales over that time period. During that time frame, 31 of the items went on sale BOGO. By playing the waiting game, I was able to get 62 free items with those 31 coupons! And with the remaining seven coupons, of course, I still got those seven items for free, too. This truly is the best way to

Dear Friends: My name is Scott Andersen, and I am a candidate for a seat on the Bolton Town Board. As the manager of F.R. Smith and Sons Marina, a former member of the Bolton Town Board and of the town’s Planning Board, I feel I can bring a helpful perspective and useful expertise to our town government. Bolton Landing is a great community, but we all need to work to maintain the life style we all enjoy. If elected to the Town Board, I pledge to work hard, not only to maintain the quality of life in our community, but to continue to help move Bolton forward in a positive direction. Among the issues now confronting the Town of Bolton are proposed projects that require careful scrutiny. Bolton needs to monitor its expenditures closely. We are very fortunate to have a very low tax rate, but because of the weakened economy, revenues are down. While serving on the Town Board, I supported the Bolton Conservation Club rehabilitation project at a time when the costs of the project were estimated to be $300,000. Now it is estimated that it could cost as much as $500,000. If elected, I would work to ensure that this project, and other projects like the rehabilitation of the Town Pier, are viable without additional tax increases and are cost-effective. The administration of Bolton’s zoning department also needs attention. As a town board member, I supported the hiring of a Zoning Enforcement Officer to assist with the growing amount of duties associated with the Zoning Office. Unfortunately, this has not worked as well as it should have. After listening to complaints from local residents, it appears that this office has become ineffective in serving the public. Since other efforts seem to have failed, I strongly recommend an external, objective review by a professional firm to ensure that this office serves the public as diligently and as equitably as possible. I am proud of what Bolton’s town government accomplished when I was a member of the Board. I strongly supported the formation of the Bolton Landing Development Corporation, which purchased Norowal Marina. That acquisition has been a tremendous asset for the community, allowing boaters, campers, anglers, visitors and residents access to the lake into perpetuity. No taxpayer dollars were used, and the project continues to pay property taxes to the town and school. I also supported the construction of a new highway garage as well as a salt shed to prevent road salt from contaminating nearby streams. Additionally, I supported the restoration of foot patrols by our local police officers in the hamlet area. Maintaining a local police department is vital, especially in the off-season to help safeguard vacant properties. In addition to serving on the Town Board and the Planning Board, I was a member of the Bolton Volunteer Fire Department and rescue squad for fourteen years. My wife and I are life-long residents of Bolton, and we look forward to continuing to serve the town that has given us so much. I appreciate your support, and look forward to speaking with you. Paid for by candidate. Sincerely, Scott P. Andersen 45266

•100 Years Ago – September, 1909• Historic Collins House purchased
W
.H. Kelley of Glens Falls has purchased the Collins House, the big hotel at Stony Creek, and took possession Aug. 30, 1909. He is an experienced hotel man and will remodel and refit the Collins House throughout. The establishment can accommodate 30 guests and it incorporates a livery. Hunting parties will be catered to and fed good meals this fall. (Note – Landlord Collins leased the Collins House for several years and bought it in January, 1904. In July that year the Tannery Pond dam gave way and the rushing water knocked out the supports of the building and slid it into the Roaring Branch stream, “the front of the house being crushed like an eggshell.” Local residents who were sharpshooters saw lamps burning in the building and shot the lights out to prevent fire. The water took away furniture, dishes and hotel paraphernalia and deposited the debris for miles along the shore of the swollen creek. Collins rebuilt and opened his “new hotel” in January, 1905. Years later this old hotel, at Hadley and Roaring Branch Roads, became the Stony Creek Inn. In 1916, owner John H. Arehart built an addition and enlarged the inn. It is exists today, and includes a restaurant operation.
The perfect wife “When the bread is perfectly baked, the coffee strong and hot, the steak juicy and fragrant, the hash well built and appetizing and the batter-cakes light and smoking as the melting butter is absorbed, the spirit of the Lord descends upon the household like a dove and the caverns of the lucky man’s soul echo with ‘Glory Hallelujah!’ The girl who can cook is a divinity. She is the delight of a man’s soul.”
Happy newlyweds William D. Combs and Miss Alice Baker, both of Thurman, were quietly married on the evening of July 28, 1909 at the residence of Sanford Truesdale, by the Rev. William Bills. Hollis Russell and Miss Mina D. Morehouse, both of Warrensburgh, were married the evening of Aug. 30, 1909 at the Baptist parsonage by the Rev. W.S. Warren. Earl R. Vetter, one of the most popular young men of Chestertown, took unto himself a bride in the person of Miss Julia Schell, of Little Falls. Leslie Tripp, of Warrensburgh and Miss Estella Bennett, of Garnet, were married Sept. 4, 1909 at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage, Johnsburgh by the Rev. D.E. Williams. Henry Shaw and Miss Lulu Stevens, both of North River, were married Tuesday, Sept. 7, 1909, at North Creek by the Rev. J.B. Randall.
Stony Creek news Francis J. Dean, 84, an esteemed and life-long citizen of Stony Creek, died the morning of Aug. 28, 1909. He is survived by a widow and six children, two sons, Jason and Joel Dean and four daughters. The funeral was held from the Wesleyan Methodist Church of which he was a member for over 50 years. Internment was in the Dean Cemetery. (Note – On Aug. 7, 1898, John Smith wrote in a letter to his father, “Jason L. Dean, son of Francis Dean, has built a large two story house right on the corner of the Dean farm as you turn to go towards the bridge, and has made a fine looking place out of an unsightly looking corner. He and also his father do quite a business keeping summer boarders.”)
New building projects Ira Wilsey has completed the cellar and foundation walls for his new house on Fourth Street, Warrensburgh. The foundation of the new concrete dam for the Schroon River Pulp and Paper Company, at Burnhamville (Thurman Rd.), is half done and work on the apron has been begun. Work has been started on the construction of the new Methodist Episcopal Church near East Thurman, The cornerstone was laid Sept. 22, 1909 with all the appropriate ceremonies, conducted by the Rev. Fred L. Decker.
Fire destroys local property A fire in East Thurman which was seen for miles around occurred the evening of Sept. 2, 1909, when the barn and corn crib on the Ransom Wilsey farm burned to the ground. Mr. Wilsey had 25 tons of hay and a large quantity of farm implements stored in the barn, all of which were destroyed. The house on the William Bates farm, which was occupied on Sept. 3, 1909 by some lumbermen, was destroyed by fire that morning.
Local news roundabout Cold and clear was the order for Labor Day weather and the holiday was passed pleasantly by Warrensburgh folk. Miss Jennie Smith has returned home to Warrensburgh from Athol where she was employed this past summer at the Cameron boarding house. She has resumed her position in the factory of the Empire Shirt Company. Mrs. Warren Curtis, of Corinth, with an automobile party, passed through Knowelhurst to and from West Stony Creek. The large auto was decorated with American flags. Mrs. Ross Taylor, 40, of Pottersville died Sept. 6, 1909 of cancer. She was a great sufferer for weeks but bore all the pain with Christian patience and fortitude. She leaves a husband and five children. She is also survived by her mother, Nellie Keyes. Interment was in the Griswold Cemetery. W.H. Noxon of North Creek purchased a horse and wag-

on from Scott Monthany, of Indian Lake. John Hall of Newcomb has sold his auto to Anna Lindsey. H.C. Ingraham took a load of people from Landon Hill at Moon Hill Camp to Chestertown on Sunday to church. Arthur Cleveland, of North River, has gone to Tahawus, where he is employed carting iron ore.
Warrensburgh’s schools in bygone days A question this week from local resident Mildred Johnson read prompted research into where early schools were located in the center of Warrensburgh. Around 1800, the only building in uptown Warrensburgh was a schoolhouse which stood near where the Methodist Church is today. There was no church edifice in those days and the Methodist Society held their services in this school house. In 1810 the society built a Methodist Episcopal Church on Judge Kitchel Bishop’s land across the main street from today’s church and the town cemetery was in the church yard. The late Town Historian Mabel Tucker recorded that this school was on a lot owned by Lemuel Woodward who afterward conducted a business in a stone store there. In 1811 through 1812 the school, with 60 to 70 students, was taught by Samuel Lake of Chestertown, followed by lawyer Samuel Stevens of Albany. In 1840 the church was moved across the street and about 1895 the cemetery was moved to its present location. Because of travel limitations, there were later several small schools in different parts of town. My late husband’s father, Ed Hadden, born in 1872, attended school in a building still standing today on the south section of River St. Later on, shares of stock were sold in the prestigious Warrensburgh Academy and this school, which produced many outstanding men of the day, was built in 1854 of native stone and wood where the Hudson Headwaters medical offices stand today. A small school built in 1832 once stood there. The total cost was $4,500 and 75 to 100 students a year attended. The first principal was the Rev. Robert C. Clapp of Chestertown. The Warrensburgh Union Free School and Academy was later organized March 6, 1888 and in June, 1899 work started on a new building on a different part the same lot, made of native stone from nearby Hackensack Mountain. The old building had closed its doors in 1898 and was demolished. This new school opened in March, 1900. The street, now Stewart Farrar, was called School Street in those days. Many people living in Warrensburg today went to school there. The school building was abandoned in 1943 and much later a small, brick post office was built on the lot. The medical offices are in that same building today. Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210

To the editor: I’d like to help clear up some misunderstandings regarding 2009 property assessments, current tax bills, STAR exemption rates and STAR rebates that have been circulating: •First off, the state has determined that the STAR exemption rates for 2009 for the Town of Warrensburg are $32,670 for the Basic STAR (reduced $4,040 from last year) and $61,860 for the Enhanced/Senior STAR (reduced $7,640 from last year). This is something the state determines; local assessors have no control over this. Because of this cut, and although a person’s assessment may have remained the same as last year, their taxes will most likely be higher than last year if they are STAR-qualified. •There are no STAR property rebates this year. As such, property owners will not be receiving rebate checks from the state as in the past few years. •As this year ’s equalization rate” for Warrensburg is .94, this causes the tax bills to reflect a higher “market value.” This is not a true market value, rather it is a “theoretical market value” that the state formulates. [This value is arrived at by taking the assessed value and dividing it by .94. As an example, a property with an assessed value of $100,000 would show a “theoretical market value” of $106,383. Likewise, this is something the state mandates; local assessors has no control over this. • Property owners need to know is that their assessment determines their real estate taxes, not the “theoretical market value” that’s on their tax bill. As the majority of properties assessed values have not changed from 2008 to 2009, the 2009 tax bill might show a higher amount even if the homeowner receives a STAR exemption, due to the STAR rate cuts for 2009. Our office has received many calls from property owners who don’t understand why their taxes have gone up even though their assessment has remained the same as last year, and this is why. I hope this clarifies any confusion related to tax bills that Warrensburg property owners recently received.

Gregory Klingler Assessor of Real Property Town of Warrensburg
To the editor: On September 15, Warrensburg residents have a choice for Warrensburg Town Supervisor. Considering Kevin Geraghty’s experience, personal attributes, and expertise, he is the one well-qualified to move Warrensburg forward. Geraghty is a life-long town resident, and he as served the community as a volunteer fireman for 39 years. He worked for a Fortune 500 company for 33 years, working his way up to a management position. He has considerable experience as a town councilman and now as town supervisor. He is in the best position to get the town through the recession. He understands the financial position of the Town, county and state. Regardless of what some will say, the town tax rate is the lowest since 1995. He and the town board keep looking for grants to make the town better. They have been successful in obtaining grants for planning, water meters and a new playground at the town recreation field. A sidewalk was constructed to the high school and sidewalks have been replaced around the Elementary School along with interactive speed-detecting signs which help protect your children who may walk or bike to school. Geraghty and the board have stopped the former practice of selective zoning enforcement, brought jobs to the town industrial park, and completed two parks along the Schroon River including the Fred Flynn veterans park and the riverfront park hosting the weekly farmer’s market which brings many people the community. The Warren County Sheriff’s substation was relocated to Warrensburg. The town has obtained engineered plans for expansion of their sewer system and is now seeking grant money to fund it. The Town is moving forward in this digital era. We now have upgraded accounting and office management systems and have established a website where the public can obtain forms, and board minutes and other information. When you vote for Geraghty, you will continue to get honesty, accountability and fiscal responsibility in the office of supervisor. You also get an open-door policy at the Town Hall. Geraghty’s record speaks for itself. He was chosen by Warren County supervisors to serve as county budget officer, and he has cut government spending substantially. Geraghty puts the Town of Warrensburg and its taxpayers first. But most importantly, I trust Kevin Geraghty. Thank you Don Bagwell Warrensburg

Lake George has hot five way race for town board By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Competition is brewing in Lake George for the upcoming Primary, where five Republicans will be vying to be their party’s representative for two town board seats. In this race, seats of incumbents Vinnie Crocitto and Frank McCoy, who is vacating his seat to run for town supervisor, are up for the taking. Crocitto (R,Ic), councilman since 2002, is challenged by local businessman John Carr (R), former Town Board member George McGowan (R,C), Fran Heinrich (R,Ic), and Janie Green (R,D). In November, they’ll be joined in the race by Democrat Marisa Muratori, a former Lake George Village trustee. Without a supplementary party endorsement, this Primary is Carr’s first and only race for this year. Lake George’s supervisor race is uncontested in the Primary. But in November, Councilman Frank McCoy (R) will face former Town Supervisor Dennis L. Dickinson (D). John Carr’s candidacy is based on creative solutions to longstanding issues. George McGowan’s is based on his belief in smaller government and separation of private and public power. Vinnie Crocitto, owner-operator of Lake George Super 8 Motel and the local laundromat, is running on his record and accessibility and commitment to the community — as are the other candidates. He listed among his accomplishments working to redevelop Gaslight village into a viable venue for festivals, renting the facility out to organizations to defray costs. “We want to keep it affordable for taxpayers while boosting tourism,” he said. Also, he cites his longstanding work with the town youth commission. John Carr said if elected, he’d get to work defending property owners’ rights in the face of pending Lake George Park Commis-

sion stream corridor regulations. McGowan’s been fighting against excessive government regulations for years. McGowan also said the existing town board should insist that all hiring be conducted with the explicit approval by the full town board. He said for years, town employees have been hired by the supervisor’s sole decision and knowledge. Also, he said, the town budget should be written in descriptive English, rather than code numbers, which the public can’t interpret. “All efforts should be made toward containing the town budget, seeking not to invent ways to spend public money, but seeking to reduce government,” McGowan said. Candidates also said it was wise to thoroughly research the possible consolidation of town and village governments. McGowan said that the town should scrutinize the associated financial transactions. McGowan’s been critical of village government in the face of the recent sewer system break, charging that proper upgrades hadn’t been accomplished in recent years. Also, he said the village ought to charge dumping fees for private haulers, and use the money for system maintenance. Carr cites his extensive business experience as a potential asset in the town board’s decision-making and budgeting process. The new ideas he’s already concocted include creating a bike trail network that attracts green and athletically oriented tourists, and establishing a restaurant district in town that has a distinctive, charming streetscape and ambiance. Carr is owner of Adirondack Pub & Brewery, Common Man’s Bistro, and North Country House Crafters — all of which he actively runs — and they are all growing to date. Janie Green said she’d work to improve infrastructure, boost tourism and scrutinize the effects of potential consolidation. Crocitto, Green and Heinrich cite their experience in land use issues. Crocitto has served as chairman of the town zoning board

of appeals, and Green has served on the same panel for five years, with a prior stint on the planning board. Heinrich has worked for the town for 17 years as planning and zoning coordinator. She cited her years of work for the town and county as helping her devise innovative ways of helping the middle class and those on modest incomes. Such ideas include intermittent half-price sales on landfill punch cards, amnesty for minor town code and landuse infractions, and holding local hazardous waste collection days. Carr notes his regular attendance at town and county board meetings, which has given him considerable insight into local and regional issues. “I look toward innovation, and I’ve got no axe to grind,” he said.

These works will be featured in a group show, “Views from the Adirondacks,” set for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Also to be exhibited at that show will be works of local Lake George artists Marianne Kuhn, Anthony Migliaccio and Catherine Minnery. Rymanowski’s works capture the majesty of Lake George with a fine eye for light and detail, which has earned her jury prizes for 20 years in national shows. Romano, an Albany native, paints landscapes that capture the tranquility and beauty of treks through the Adirondack wild country. Ms. Romano’s work has been featured in Artists Magazine, as well as many national and regional juried shows.

Bolton residents watch bear visiting their backyard BOLTON — A black bear wandered Friday into the backyard of Bolton residents Russell and Marina Skea. The Skeas were alerted to the bear by their cat “Moll Flanders” at about 2 p.m., when the feline leapt to a window, Marina Skea reported. Responding to see what was outside, the Skeas saw what they described as an adult black bear about 25 feet from the back of their home off Coolidge Hill Rd. The bear had already taken down a suet holder and consumed the contents, Marina Skea said. Surprisingly, the wild creature had not disturbed several other suet, seed and hummingbird feeders, she said. The bear then easily dug a hole in the ground, about two feet wide and the same depth, and there appeared to be a nest of bees or wasps in the ground, Marina Skea said. These angry insects, she said, began swarming around the bear's head, but the bear was undaunted and casually strolled away, until it found and decided to inspect one of the Skeas’ bluebird houses. The bear then walked into the woods, concluding a visit that lasted about 10 minutes, she said. This incident was the second time the Skeas have seen a black bear on our property — the first time was about six years ago, in the fall and occurring past midnight. In this earlier encounter, the Skeas were awakened by a bear that had taken down a bird-seed feeder. It feasted on the contents and then proceeded into the woods, they said.
Bolton students to watch Obama broadcast BOLTON LANDING — When Bolton Central School students return back to school Tuesday, Sept. 8, they will watch a live broadcast at 1 p.m. of President Obama's national address to students on the importance of education Bolton Central School plans to video stream the president's address directly to all the teacher's computers and then project it via the classroom “Smart Board.” School Districts received an e-mail from the U.S. Dept. of Education urging participation of students. The President is expected to challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning. He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives, the Dept. of Education said.

Grant From page 1 Corinth, which is to administrate the grant, authorities said. Corinth Town Supervisor Richard Lucia confirmed Friday that the money was granted by the state Dept. of Transportation, but the grant was awaiting a signature of the state Attorney General. For well over a decade, county leaders and area economic development officials have envisioned regular train service connecting North Creek with Saratoga Springs, the Capital Region and New York City. This connection would allow Manhattan skiers to leave their vehicles at home and enjoy a scenic ride all the way to North Creek, they've said. Also, it was envisioned that a series of stations would be constructed at towns along the route. When federal grants promised didn’t materialize, these stations weren’t built, and several platforms were constructed instead at considerable cost — a situation
that angered taxpayers and eroded support this year among county supervisors for the tourist railway. However, this $1 million grant is likely to make the connection with Saratoga Springs and New York City a reality, Lucia said, if it indeed materializes. “The game plan is all there,” Lucia said. Cliff Welz and Jerry Riegel of the Upper Hudson River Railroad said that the money would be spent on installing a crossing signal at Anton Mountain Road in Corinth, and replacing ties and improving the rail bed along the 16 miles of track from Corinth to the connection with the CP Rail line near Saratoga Springs. Upper Hudson River Railroad operates trains daily from North Creek to Riverside. The $1 million would bankroll upgrading the track to Class 2, which would allow train travel at 30 m.p.h. The portions of the track which are passable south of Corinth are now just Class 1 with a speed limit of 15 m.p.h., Welz said.

Lucia said his town has an engineering firm on board, ready to draft upgrade plans as soon as the $1 million check is signed. Upper Hudson River Railroad is planning a series of excursions this fall from North Creek south through Warren County. Two trips are scheduled — one each on Sept. 30 and Oct. 7 — to go from North Creek to Thousand Acres Ranch in Stony Creek, and another run is slated to go from North Creek to the Hadley station platform on Oct. 17. Riegel and Welz said they'd need a minimum of 45 reservations to make these runs. County supervisors expressed frustration Thursday over the fact these trips were conditional, and that UHRR had cut their daily runs in half. The county is ready to issue a request for proposals for operation of the train service, the role that UHRR now serves, effective be-
ginning in 2010 when their 12-year contract with UHRR expires. Supervisors have said they are frustrated with the declining ridership of the railway, which they blame on lack of promotion by UHRR. This, in part, has prompted them to open up bidding on the service to other enterprises. But Riegel contends he had to cut the number of trips this year to cut his financial losses; and that to build ridership, the railway needs real stations, not platforms, and vibrant communities at each stop-off. He said that Warren County hasn't lived up to their agreement to provide the rail stations. Supervisors blame the federal government for backing away from its long-standing commitments to fund the stations.
Summer
happy to have nice weather,” he said. “July was a very difficult month with the rain, and August was a welcome relief from all that.” Andersen said he was looking forward to autumn. “Hopefully for all businesses in town, weather remains good and we have a prosperous fall,” he said. Bill Manion, owner of the Molly Malone’s Irish Gifts said that sales were strong over the weekend, which made up partially for the depressed sales in July due to the soggy weather that set records for rainfall. “July was a bummer,” he said. “If we could have the whole summer like this past weekend, this summer would have been wonderful.” Saturday started out with vacant streets, which worried him until he realized it was only 7 a.m, he said. “I cheered up when people really started rolling in,” he said. “At times, traffic was backed up from Beach Rd. up the hill past Fort William Henry — and I thought, ‘This is a good sign.‘“ Manion said he was looking forward to a strong fall tourist season, in contrast to the worries persisting elsewhere in the nation over the economy. “All my friends I’ve talked to said they had business this weekend like gangbusters,” he said.
From page 1 George all summer long — this has been a phenomenal weekend.” John Carr, owner of Canada Street enterprises Adirondack Pub & Brewery and Common Man’s Bistro, said sales were robust, and the brewery’s sales for Labor Day weekend were about 10 percent over a comparable weekend last year, a season-long growth rate the tavern has sustained for years. “It was very busy this weekend — our sales are up.” he said. ”A lot of people were feeling the need to get out and enjoy summertime after all that rain.” Carr said the sunny weather this past week had prompted the increase of tourism back to traditional levels. “There were a lot of day-trippers visiting that were grabbing for that last bit of summer,” he said. “Tourists should know it’s beautiful here in October, too.” Boaters were back on the waters of Lake George enjoying the experience, marina managers said. Scott Andersen, general manager of F.R. Smith & Sons Marina, said although there was some rough water for portions of the weekend, Saturday and Sunday were good, and that business was strong. “We had a great weekend, and we’re very

support has been just overwhelming.” The Quintal family’s phones didn’t stop ringing over the weekend, and hundreds of people have come to the store site to express their sorrow over the fire, she said. “The traffic the day after the fire was unbelievable,” she said. “People were coming and going Saturday in a steady flow as if we were open, and we’ve been getting emails from people all over the U.S.,” Quintal added that various enterprises and individuals had volunteered to help in the recovery and rebuilding effort. Echo Lake Camp offered their coolers to accept some of the processed meat products that were salvaged, she said. The Quintals were busy Monday outfitting a newly built pool house at their home next to the burned-out business as new temporary headquarters for the enterprise. Employees were assured they would remain employed by Oscar ’s in an effort to rebuild the enterprise, Jerry Quintal said Monday. Their paychecks would be underwritten by business continuation insurance that was in force, Quintal said. Quintal said Monday that employees would be busy ordering new specialized meat processing and other equipment, retrieving and restoring business records, and contacting hundreds of customers — all to get the enterprise back on its feet as soon as possible. Key employees will also be helping to plan the layout and construction of the new building, he said. Quintal estimated that Oscar ’s could be back in business in three months or so, but it was too early to tell. Quintal said that he had offers from other businesses to host a smokehouse operation temporarily, but it was impractical to do so. The fire happened at a very busy time of year, as Oscar ’s ships its specialty smoked meats and cheeses daily to farmer ’s markets, apple orchards and other venues that have a lot of activity in autumn. Oscar ’s will also be temporarily missing its business of supplying gourmet meats to various restaurants, not only in the region, but from afar. One restaurant enterprise, Bubby’s in New York City, orders 400 to 500 pounds of bacon per week, Quintal said. Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce President Lynn Smith wished the Quintal’s a speedy recovery from the devastating fire. She said Oscar ’s Smoke House not only brought fame and jobs to Warrensburg, but that the Quintals were generous contributors to charity and were active in community service. “This fire represents a great loss to the business community,” she said. Warrensburg Fire Chief Justin Hull voiced thanks Sunday to the various area businesses that donated food and refreshments to the 100-plus firefighters while they battled the blaze. Those contributing included Gino’s Pizzeria, Luck-E Star Cafe employees, the Methodist Church, and Luna Pizza of Chestertown. Quintal said his son Joq, a co-manager of the enterprise, has advocated “going green” when the business is rebuilt, using solar and geo-thermal power if possible. Kathy Quintal said that much of the existing charm of the retail store’s accouterments were either salvaged, or would be recreated. Saved from the blaze, she said, was the pig mailbox and the pig statue on which customers posed their children for photographs, she said. The signs and a mural that date back to the 1940s were salvaged or will be restored, she said. “It’s truly amazing when a tragedy like this occurs, everyone steps up to the plate, offering their help and services in any way they can,” she said.

Famed Oscar’s Smoke House consumed in blaze By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Oscar's Smoke House, one of the most famous enterprises in the North Country, suffered a devastating fire Friday evening. The business, an Adirondack landmark for generations of residents and visitors alike, is considered a total loss. The heat of the blaze was so intense it melted stainless steel doors and processing equipment and split the heavy steel and brick walls of the smokers on site. The fire occurred at about 5:45 p.m. while the business was open and employees were busy helping customers, owner Jerry Quintal said Monday. Within minutes, the fire raged out of control, he said, and the employees were evacuated from the store in uptown Warrensburg on Raymond Lane. “I was in store’s retail area waiting on customers when I smelled smoke, and sent my son-in-law Gabe Egloff to check it out,” Quintal said, adding that Egloff discovered that a portion of the building next to an exterior woodpile was on fire. “Our alarms went off, three of our employees ran to the back of the building with fire extinguishers, the fire company arrived, and police told us we have to evacuate, while we were scrambling to get our business records out.” As of Monday, the cause of the fire was still

the usual grease fire.” Within seconds, flames were shooting out of the roof and a thick plume of black smoke were then soon visible a considerable distance. After the buildings were evacuated, firefighter Scott Combs went inside the business and brought out a painting of the enterprise’s founder, Oscar Quintal — a painting that for two generations had hung over the cash register. Combs had also grabbed the checkbook on his way out, Jerry Quintal said. About a half-hour later, the main structure had collapsed on itself, and several hundred people had already gathered to watch the fire and mourn the devastation of the enterprise. Considerably more than 100 firefighters from Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. and 12 neighboring fire agencies -- as far away as Bay Ridge -- were on site soon afterwards to fight the blaze. They were able to keep the fire from damaging other nearby houses. Involved in the blaze were firefighters from Warrensburg, Lake George, Chestertown, Bolton, Thurman, Horicon, Riverside and Queensbury. Witness Dawn White saw the smoke billow skyward from her home on Lake Ave. "It's really awful," she said. "Oscar's is like a staple in this community," she said. "I hate to see it like this." Operated by the Quintal family for generations, Oscar ’s Smoke House has been a business that for decades has attracted visitors to Warrensburg.

The enterprise employs 14 local people including Quintal family members, and it ships gourmet smoked meats across the nation and internationally. It incorporated both a wholesale meat processing and packing operation with a retail enterprise that was a destination for people from both nearby and hundreds of miles away. Oscar ’s Smoke House was established in 1943 by Oscar and Edith Quintal in the Music Hall block on Main Street, which burned down in 1945. The Quintals relocated to its present location in 1945. The enterprise has been operated for decades by Jerry Quintal, Oscar and Edith's son. In recent years, Jerry's sons Joq and Joel have joined their father in operating the business. Jonathan Alexander contributed to this report.

under investigation. Fire Chief Justin Hull said that the cause of the fire was the subject of a continuing investigation. “We’re not sure if it was an errant ember, or what,” he said. The blaze was difficult to fight because it went up into the eaves of the roof and quickly spread to adjoining areas of the sprawling building complex, he said. A lack of water supply to town hydrants also hampered the firefighting effort, Hull said. Warrensburg firefighters established a 5-inch hose line to bring water down Third Ave. from Hudson to Main St. to the fire scene, he said. Raymond Lane neighbor Joe Barlow called 911 to report the fire. He said he had just sat down to dinner, and his wife Ellen glanced out the window and she remarked there was a lot more smoke coming from Oscar ’s than was normal in the meat-smoking process. “I then looked at the smoke, saw flames coming out the roof and I grabbed the phone, called 911 and then went out to take photographs which I later gave to an investigator,” Joe Barlow said. Jerry’s wife Kathy Quintal, said she was home at the time the blaze broke out. “I went to open up some windows and there it was, smoke billowing out from under roof,” she said. “We’ve had minor grease fires in the smokehouse before, but I could tell, with the amount of smoke, this was not

Burgers gain victory in final seconds By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With 39 seconds left on the clock and a tied game Saturday, Warrensburg High School Quarterback Brendan Frye kept the football on a option play and cut back and forth four times over 48 yards through Fort Edward territory for a touchdown that turned a tied game into a 24-16 victory. The jersey he was wearing as he ran into the right corner of the end zone belonged to Freshman teammate Nolan Maltbie, because his standard No. 12 had been torn to shreds earlier by aggressive Fort Edward tacklers. The jersey left no doubt that Frye endured some punishment in this season-opener for the Burghers, as he ran 107 yards in 17 carries. Warrensburg Coach Mike Leonbruno said Monday that Frye earned his playmaker status earlier, by his gritty performance in preseason practices. “Brendan was throwing well, making good reads, and he got the job,” Leonbruno said. In Saturday’s game, Fort Edward initially put forth a sustained offensive attack that put Burgher fans on edge. On the Forts’ first possession of the game, they drove for 17 plays — but the Burghers
halted them at the 13 yard line. The ball changes hands several times, and the first quarter ended 0-0 — but the Forts had run 24 plays and Warrensburg, only three, Assistant Coach Rex Reynolds said. “At this point, we thought ‘Uh-Oh!” Reynolds said. Two Fort Edward fumbles in the second quarter led to a Brendan Frye 10-yard pass to Sophomore Hunter Werner, wide open in the end zone, for his first Varsity touchdown. Frye ran it in for the conversion. Fort Edward then continued their offensive show, with four pass completions in 6 plays, including a 32-yarder. Their airplay then hit a headwind when Burgher Mike Curtis intercepted and returned the ball for a 13-yard gain. In the third quarter, the Burghers scored a touchdown in a seven-play drive which included two runs by Mike Perrone totalling 22 yards. The Burghers capped it off with Frye hitting David Boodman for a 15-yard touchdown. Boodman ran with the ball for two extra points, and the Burghers led 16-0. On the next kickoff, the Forts’ special team fired back with a 65-yard return for a touchdown, which they converted. In the fourth quarter, Warrensburg enjoyed
a sustained 12-play drive, ending up with a fourth-down crunch with 6 yards to go on the 16-yard line. Frye threw the ball into the endzone, and Fort Edward intercepted and ran it back 55 yards. Within three plays, they’d scored a touchdown, and the score was tied with 60 seconds on the clock. “We were sure the game would go into overtime,” Reynolds said. Then on the ensuing kickoff, David Boodman returned the ball 37 yards, to the Forts’ 48-yard line, setting up the final zig-zag, game-winning run by Frye . Leonbruno said the Burgher veer play, a dive option, worked well. Mike Perrone led the rushing attack with 109 yards on 22 carries. While Leonbruno praised Frye and back Jason Power and other individuals, he said the team as a whole fell short of expectations. The team needs to be more aggressive, he said. “We’ve started out the season looking like we don’t want to play ball — it’s scary — but we ended up getting the win.” After the game, Leonbruno told the pumped-up players that their potential this season was unlimited. “I told them as long as we’re undefeated, we’re state champion and league champion

Vinnie Crocitto tallied the first touchdown for Lake George Warriors squad, which was trailing 6-0 through the first quarter. Crocitto’s charge was an 8-yard run that helped launch the Lake George ground attack and relieved edgy Warrior fans. Bennett spread the praise beyond Meroski, who ran over, around, and through his opponents. Bennett also praised Crocitto for throwing the ball accurately, and receiver Matt McGowan for some key catches that fired up the offense. In a a 4th down and 18 yard situation, McGowan caught a pass and tallied a 25 yard gain to spark the Warriors, Bennett said. “His really big play led to our first touchdown, and that set the tone for the rest of the game,” Bennett said. But his lavish praise was reserved for the guys who clear the field for the glory players. “My linemen and blockers hit even harder than they did in pre-season practice,” he said. “If Meroski is racking up 269 yards, that means our offensive line blocked really well — I’m impressed about how all the players showed up with the attitude they wanted to play football.”
