Consuelo to stay as special events coordinator

Day care seeking enrollments
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — After a decision r eached D ec. 5 b y county leaders, Michael Consuelo will likely be r etaining his dual r oles of boosting tourism in Lake George and bringing conferences and special events into Warren County. Consuelo serves both as the county’s Special E vents Coordinator and as the Interim Dir ector of the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce. Some county supervisors had questioned whether Consuelo, who earlier this year r eplaced Luisa CraigeSherman in leading the Chamber, had either accomplished enough for the county or had concentrated his efforts too much on boosting business in Lake Geor ge rather than other municipalities in the county. Glens Falls Ward 5 Supervisor Bill Kenny and several of his peers had sought to eliminate the special events coordinator position, which was established several years ago with a $50,000 annual awar d to the Lake George Chamber.

Jenne Day Care seeking enrollments for its state-certified program LAKE GEORGE — Thomas Jenne, who has for years served in various roles teaching and nurturing children, is now seeking enrollments for his new enterprise, Jenne Family Day Care, a fully licensed and certified operation. A stay-at-home dad for a decade during his marriage, Jenne developed an inter est in helping children discover the wonders of life, he said during a r ecent visit to his day car e center, located the lower level of his family home. The skills he acquir ed in raising his own children and nephews, he began applying towards others, either through car eer or volunteer work in the local schools, he noted. Several years ago, he was certified for BOCES substitute teaching. He also has logged many hours serving as a volunteer parent in Lake George Elementary , wher e for five years he worked one day per week. He’s also taught Sunday School at Caldwell Presbyterian Church. His work in educating and caring for children grew into a full-time occupation, when a local teacher ’s aide suggested he open up a day care

service with his wife. Jenne pursued the suggestion, and he earned certification fr om the state Of fice of Family & Child Services — which conducted a full background check in the process and r equired training in child education, infant and child CPR, first aid and general health. “I feel I was called to do teaching and day car e,” he said as he checked on one youngster ’s work on a puzzle, and praised another nearby for her artwork during a r outine day in his enterprise. In his 700-squar e-feet brightly lit and cheery center in Lake George, Jenne has set up an ar ea for art, for play, and for games and puzzles as well as a reading and media center. An outdoor activity center also is in use during temperate months. Jenne has an extensive collection of educational toys that he employs in sparking children’s cr eativity and imagination. One particular advantage of his enterprise, is that he offers a male influence and role model in childr en’s lives, an aspect that may be lacking in many day care facilities or educational settings, he said. Jenne Day Care is now ac-

sponsored by the Chestertown Rotary Club. This year , Santa was on time, arriving at the side door of the center to the gleeful cries of adoring children. A capacity cr owd of youngsters and their family members filled the municipal center hallway . W ith children seeking to greet him personally, it took Santa a half-hour to move 60 feet or so to the town court chambers, wher e he and Mrs. Claus “held court.” With about 220 children to discuss Christmas concerns with, Santa took about three hours to gr eet them all. He did so addr essing each one by name, as Mrs. Claus had prompted him with vital information she gather ed as the children were waiting in the hallway. During the long wait, the Adirondack Gospel T rio sand melodic Christmas music for the full thr ee hours. The group, consisting of Wayne W illiams, Scott Joseph and Ruth Joseph, hail from the Faith Bible Church. While discussing Christmas details with Santa and Mrs. Claus, each child’s photo was taken — by Rotary club members Shep Peck, David Schlansker or Larry Hodgson. The photos wer e printed on the spot and inserted in mats by Bill T ierney, Ed Griesmer , Artie Gangieri, John Cober g and Joe Cargioli.

Rotary’s gift-buying spr ee cost a total of $1,600, a c lub m ember e stimated afterwards. During the visit family members enjoyed juice, coffee and donuts.

Hagmann watched the children as they took their turns meeting Santa. “We’re happy to bring so much joy and pleasure to the children of the ar ea,” he said. Rich Dwyer agreed. “The kids’ smiling faces make it all worthwhile,” he said. (Mary Jane Dower of Chestertown contributed to this report.)

Pass it on and pay it forward this season L
ast year, a young woman drove 30 minutes in the dark to the nearest gas station to fill her
tank. She pulled into the parking lot with her gas light on and the engine sputtering. It was a pre-pay station, so she ran into the store to make her purchase when she realized at the counter she didn’t have her wallet. The store clerk couldn’t take a check and said there was nothing she could do to help. The young woman walked out to her car and stood there in the frigid cold, wondering what she was going to do with no money and no gas. At that point, her breath a white cloud of uncertainty, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to find a short, jolly man holding out $25. “Let me help you,” he said. “I have a daughter your age and I would want someone to help her.” The young woman tried to write him a check, but he pushed it away, gave her a hug and said, “Have a wonderful day, sweetheart.” With the season of giving upon us, it is time to pass it on and pay it forward. Life keeps us busy, with jobs, families, chores and errands. Times are tough, and many people are barely getting by. That is why it is ever more important to pay attention to your neighbor and to the people you pass by, because you never know when you might be able to make a positive difference in someone’s life. Instead of wondering why the family down the street can’t seem to clear their sidewalk as you trudge through kneedeep snow, why not get out your own shovel and do it for them. For whatever reason, they may need the help. Or, when you’re done snowblowing your
December 17, 2011
driveway after a major storm, clear out a path to your elderly neighbors’ front doors so they can get out of their homes. There are many ways to help your fellow community members and not one of them has to be monetary. Now, if you’re in the financial position to help in that regard, by all means pass along a more generous tip to the single mom waiting your table or help the family of five in line ahead of you at the grocery pay for their items. You could also donate all or part of your bonus from work to a worthwhile charity. If you don’t get a bonus and money is tight, volunteering your time is the next best thing. It is just as helpful to offer to carry those groceries and pack them in their car. And knitting mittens and socks for a neighbor in need or chemotherapy hats for cancer patients makes a big difference. If times are truly tough, as we consistently read, hear and see, then what better time to pass on your good fortune or pay it forward to someone in need. Open a door; take a hot meal to a housebound senior; drop off a gift to a family in need; volunteer at the local soup kitchen or food pantry; invite a homeless family to Christmas dinner. You just might make someone’s heart smile when they truly need it the most. They, in turn, just might make someone else’s heart smile. And what better present can you give during the season of giving, especially, when times are tough.

Bolton seeing increase in tourism, business revenue Lake George village that feature a return trip by trolley. A new trolley schedule for 2011, featuring increased trips to Lake George — one every two hours this summer — doubled the tr olley ridership to Bolton, Conover said. The upgraded town pier with its pavilion is now a popular place for wedding r eceptions as well as various other events, he said. Conover added that the town is likely to accomplish mor e upgrades, including installing permanent r est r ooms rather than having merely porta-jons at the pier. The new Bolton Farmers’ Market pr oved to be immensely well received, he said. “The Farmers’ Market was a huge success,” he said. “It was the talk of the town, for both residents and visitors.” The market, featuring a wide variety of produce and gourmet goods, was operated Friday mornings in the parking lot of Blessed Sacrament Church downtown. Another element of success, Conover said, was moving the semi-annual town craft fair

thom@denpubs.com BOLTON LANDING — Tourism and commerce in general were robust this summer in Bolton, the town’s leader told Warren County leaders at a county T ourism Committee meeting held Monday, Dec. 5. Town of Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover said business locally had been quite favorable, despite the several-week dr op-off in tourism experienced when T ropical Storm Irene roared through the area in late August. “According to r esponse I’ve gotten fr om the business community, revenue has been very good, and in some ways, better than ever,” he said. Conover identified several factors contributing to the success of tourism and commerce: the new town pier and dock, which has boosted travel on the tour boats, and promotion of one-way tour boat trips from
BOLTON LANDING — Several years ago, Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce officers decided to assist local families facing har dship in meeting their winter home heating bills. Realizing that ener gy costs have soared, they cr eated a fund known as "Heat Our Neighbor," with donations collected each year going back to Bolton Landing households in need of assistance with their home energy expenses. The Chamber is now asking the community to give generously to this worthwhile cause during this holiday season. To make a much-appr eciated donation, send a check to Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 368, Bolton Landing, NY 12814. Those local r esidents in need of assistance are urged to contact Elaine at 6443831 for an application.

to Memorial Day Weekend. For 2012, efforts to boost tourism include moving the Bolton Bike & Art Fest, held on Americade weekend, from Veterans Park to Rogers Park, closer to downtown. The town is also sponsoring a French and Indian War Encampment event in June 2012, a month in which Americade and the Centurion bicycle race are also occurring. “Our shoulder season for 2012 looks very good,” Conover said. He added that part of the r eason Bolton has experienced increased tourism and growth in business revenue is the recent investment in private pr operty upgrades — both residential and commercial. Conover pointed out to county leaders that by summer 2012, the Sagamore Resort is constructing a new enclosed activity space, as well as adding 16 new rooms to their hotel. “We had a very good 2012, and we expect the trend to continue,” he said.

Bakers Mills featured in Stephen L. Smith music video
jgrybos@denpubs.com BAKERS MILLS — Following a night of carousing at J&J’s tavern, California Jane turns on her date, knocking him over the head with a tire iron and stealing his truck. Broke-down on the r oad to Bakers Mills, Jane showed some leg to catch a ride to J&J’s for a music video shoot with Steven L. Smith and Metamorphose Jones. The band’s eighth video wasn’t inspir ed by a personal event in Steven Smith’s life, but he thinks the story of deceit willesonate r with viewers. They’ve performed their music in Nashville, all over the East Coast and even for a radio tour in Ir eland after his albums charted internationally. “But J&J’s is still my favorite place to play music,” said Smith. The band tries to be genuine and honest, he said. That openness helps them connect with their audience, a special feeling for Smith. That’s why they enjoy performing at J&J’s so much. The audience ther e is r eceptive to their music, and the band appre ciates that connection. He bills his band’s music as original Adirondack jam music, and said their style is dir ectly r elated to the for ever wild landscape. “It’s where we’re from. It’s the culture we live in,” he said. The most distant member of his band is the

drummer, who lives in Hoosick Falls but is looking to move inside the Blue Line. Smith grew up in Brant Lake, and he and his wife tried settling in Saratoga. After a few years , though, it was traf fic jams and cramped spaces. He wanted to get back to the freedom of the mountains and raise his children in an environment that encouraged free spirits. There’s a deep connection to the landscape
that comes with the fre edom of living in such a wilderness-dominated place, Smith said. “We can walk out our front door and hike for 20 miles without ever seeing another human being,” Smith said. “That’s a lot of fre edom.” That sense of independence has r eturned to his life with authority in the last few years. He worked construction until his sister was diagnosed with cancer. She died two
years ago at Halloween. The loss of such a close family member changed Smith's outlook. “Maybe what was a hobby should be moved into the foreground,” he said. Those thoughts inspired him to start pursuing what he loves, making music on stage and in his acoustic guitar workshop. His band has appear ed in early Grammy ballots for categories, including best country vocal, best country album and best country song. Nominated this year was “Can’t T ake It With You,” r ecorded with Nashville performer Crystal Gayle, well known for “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.” The guitars he makes in his home workshop are premium products with a premium price. Sometimes his guitar shop is a bigger money-maker than his band, but a r ough economy has put a pinch on luxury goods, he said. He’s made some guitars with Adirondack spr uce tops, a material first popularized by C.J. Martin’s early guitars, which are now high-demand collectibles. He had to or der his tops fr om California because local sawmills don't process the wood finely enough for instrument-building. As a local, though, he’s been able to r eclaim some wood fr om his back yar d for flourishes on his custom guitars, including a carefully carved flower for a headstock. He’d like to thank all those involved with his video and encourage viewers to shar e links to it fr om his webs ite, www.stevenlsmithband.com.

Thurman EMS from page 1
Board Pr esident Bob Farr ell said his squad would not be responding to ALS calls in Thurman after Jan. 1 when his squad’s contract with the town expires. His statement followed criticism of the board’s recent proposal to pay $200 per call to whatever ar ea agency r esponds first, which Farrell said was “a bogus idea.” Town Supervisor Evelyn W ood r esponded she was disturbed that the Warrensburg squad would declar e they’d intentionally r efuse to care for patients in town. The angry exchange of wor ds followed Farrell’s advice to the town boar d at their monthly meeting to grant adequate funding for emergency medical services. The Warrensburg Squad was seeking $50,000 annually from the town of Thurman to cover its 100-odd c alls, w hile i t r eceives o nly $ 30,000 from its hometown to subsidize about 1,000 calls. Warrensburg squad officials cite the pr evailing lack of health insurance coverage among Thurman residents as justification why they need such a pr emium fr om Thurman for emergency services. Following the meeting, Wood hinted that the town board was giving serious consideration to the Thurman squad’s r equest for $40,000, an amount that Coulard said her agency could live with — but an amount that Farr ell pr edicted would put patients at risk. The r emainder o f m oney n eeded t o a ssure proper ALS staffing and equipment, Coular d said, could likely be raised fro m donations, not-
ing that a woman with pro fessional fundraising experience had just joined the squad. “We’re going to do our darndest,” Coular d said about raising money to keep the squad appropriately funded. Moments earlier , the boar d voted to sign a letter of intent to contract with the Thurman squad, as long as there was some financial guarantee in place that local taxpayers would get their money back if the squad folded. Also, Wood said she agr eed in concept to pr oviding fuel for the squad’s ambulances at cost. Thurman’s ALS certification was r evoked in late 2010 amid financial and staffing difficulties under different squad administration. In other business, the boar d voted to allow snowmobile traffic for four months this winter over River Road and Bowen Hill Road to George’s K noll s o a s led tr ail c onnecting t he western Adirondacks with points east and north would r emain open. The move was prompted by a ban on snowmobile traf fic over the Warren C ounty railr oad ri ght-of-way, as train traffic has resumed on the tracks. Board members said they were hesitant to do so, however, because of a sharp curve in Bowen Hill and narr ow r oadways, but that maintaining a legal snowmobile pathway was important to the region’s economy and recreation. While the snowmobilers at the meeting said they wer e pleased with the decision, r esident Joyce Eddy, a former snowmobile club official, said the boar d’s decision was “a terrible mistake,” as she cited various vehicle collisions on a curve in the roadway. “This board has voted for an accident to happen to innocent people,” she said.

WARRENSBURG — Plans are now progressing for the second annual Dance Marathon at W arrensburg Central School — and donors are now being sought. Recipient charities, also, are now being lined up and applications are invited. The 12-hour marathon is scheduled for Satur day Jan. 14, with musical entertainment pr ovided by deejay Andy Pratt — and several new activities are planned. Similar to last year ’s event, students will be raising money through sponsorships from family, friends and neighbors. The event will be open to the public fro m 7 to 11 p.m., with area r esidents bidding on gift baskets, gift certificates and various donated goods and services to be raf fled. So far , a Kindle Fire, skiing and golf package sand 100 gallons of heating fuel have been donated for the raf fle. These items and others can be viewed at the high school on the day prior to the event. Participation in the event has been expanded. Sixth graders who raise sponsorship money are invited to participate in the first 90 minutes of the event — and the Warrensburg Elementary School has helped this year in fundraising efforts, hosting a number of activities to gather donations. The top fundraisers from grades 6 through 12 can win various prizes. In the highschool, the top three in each grade are eligible for such awards. Information and updates on the dance marathon — and application forms for participants — can be obtained via the school district website at www .wcsd.org. The link is on the lower left side of the home page. A form to apply to be a recipient of proceeds is also available at the link. Recipient forms are also available at the high school office, and they should be re turned to Darlene Gordon there. Several of the recipients for 2012 have already been chosen: North Country Ministry and High Peaks Hospice, and a fund to support various W arrensburg Central enrichment and sports programs in light of government cutbacks. The dance marathon committee will continue to select r ecipients as requests are received. The 2011 marathon raised just over $7,500, which was donated to the North Country Hardship Fund, High Peaks Hospice, Cindy’s Comfort Camp, Mito Hope & Help, and The Ben Osborne Memorial Fund, among others. There are a number of ways that businesses and members of our community can support the dance marathon. Those who wish to make a cash donation, can send checks for that purpose to the school. Those who seek to donate a gift basket, gift certificate or raffle item, contact Donna Engle at 623-3453 or Lori Combs at 744-4225. To volunteer for the marathon, contact Marc y Flores at 6234845 or: marcyflores2004@yahoo.com. For general inquiries, contact Marlene DeLongis at 623-4917.

the summer. Quinn said that his business would significantly decrease without the tents. “For many years, I’ve paid my taxes, and without the tents, I’d have to lay off long-time employees,” he said. Regulations over erecting and using tents in town is the focus of a municipal law now under development and will be subject to a decision by the incoming town board, which includes thr ee new members, constituting a new majority. The r esolution to grandfather the use of existing tents on Quinn’s pr operty is conditional that they be erected only from May 1 to Nov. 1. Outgoing Town Supervisor Frank McCoy said the resolution would settle the long-standing controversy over Quinn’s tents. “This is a no-brainer,” McCoy said. “The tents have been there forever.” After the meeting, Quinn said he was pleased that the board resolved the issue. “The board acted responsibly in protecting jobs and tax revenue,” he said. The board also decided to grant a one-year appro val of snowmobile travel down Mountain View Lane. The roadway abuts the Warren County Bike Trail, which in winter months is available for use by snowmobiles. The resolution was passed after Ed Pagnotta, owner of the Barnsider Restaurant said he sought to stay open through the winter and keep his staf f employed during the off-season. Board members noted that both The Barnsider and Mama Rizzo’s Restaurant would benefit by granting the new access, which would be ef fective for a one-year trial period. Board members noted that Mountain V iew, a deadend road, would be marked with signs that declare No Through Traffic, and snowmobiles would be prohibited from turning left onto state Rte. 9.

Chewing tobacco now prohibited on town property Town’s finances are rosy
By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — A policy pr ohibiting the use of chewing tobacco on town of Lake Geor ge property, including government buildings and vehicles, was enacted Monday, Dec. 12 by the Lake George Town Board. The vote was taken as the town board updated provisions in the town employee handbook. Board members Caryl Clark and Fran Heinrich pr oposed the pr ohibition, as an expansion of the existing r ule of no smoking on town property or in municipal vehicles. The vote was not without some opposition expressed by a few board members. “It’s not a hazard — this just represents just another right we’re taking away,” board member Vinnie Crocitto said. Clark responded that allowing chewing tobacco was likely to boost health car e premiums, and the habit pr esents a health risk. Crocitto retorted, “So does eating fatty foods.” Board member Scott Wood agreed with Crocitto. “I don’t want people spitting on sidewalks, but ar e we legislating away a person’s rights?” Heinrich said chewing tobacco could be offensive.
“It smells, and it’s a health hazard,” she said. Town Supervisor Frank McCoy sided with Clark and Heinrich as he cast the deciding vote. “We shouldn’t be encouraging our employees to get cancer,” he said. Crocitto cast a “no” vote to the initiative, and W ood abstained. Also approved for the new edition of the town employee’s handbook wer e the conditions under which an employee could drive a municipal vehicle from home to a job site. They could do so if approved by the board, and only if the employee maintains a mileage log to submit monthly to the town comptroller. A meeting is set for the afternoon of Monday , Dec. 19 to evaluate and finalize other handbook pr ovisions. The policies are to go into effect Jan. 1. In other business, the board: • Heard from McCoy that the town was $613,000 ahead of its 2011 budgeted expenditures as of Nov. 30. If the town finishes of f the year at the pr esent rate of spending, ther e should be a surplus of about $450,000, accord ing to McCoy’s figures. He also noted the town has $949,535 cash in the bank. “This is phenomenal,” McCoy said. • Approved exemptions fr om sewer usage fees for those residents of the Caldwell Sewer District unable to connect to the sewer mains. • Voted to purchase a pickup truck for town Highway Su-
perintendent Dan Davis, and r eassign Davis’ pr esent truck to the Planning & Zoning Department. • Decided to issue a letter to the municipal Boar d of Health, calling for the panel to mandate pr operty owners with private septic systems to connect to the municipal sewer within a year. • Hear d that the town court had collected a sum of $308,948 so far this year in fines. • Was informed that town Code Enforcement Officer Rob Hickey had inspected 450 r esidents’ sump pumps this year to assure that they weren’t pumping into the town sanitary sewers. He r eported that ther e were 150 left to inspect. Six violations were noted, and five of the situations were rectified, he said. •Heard several complaints fr om ar ea government critic John Salvadore — one that conditions on site plan appro vals granted by the town Planning Board in some instances actually represented variances, which the board was not empowered to grant. McCoy refuted his claim. Salvatore also called for the town to conduct a evaluation r of property, noting that a mansion on Cooper Island of fshore from the Green Harbour development recently sold for $5.25 million in a depr essed r eal estate market,, although it was assessed at $1.85 million. He said that inaccurate assessments like this unfairly shifted the tax burd en to other property owners.
Special events coordinator from page 1
But after impassioned pr esentations by upcounty supervisors listing Consuelo’s accomplishments — detailing the gr oups he’s brought in and their economic impact — the County T ourism Committee voted to r etain Consuelo’s position for at least another year . The decision is subject to a vote by the full Boar d of Supervisors next week. Committee Chairman Gene Merlino, Supervisor of Lake Luzerne, noted that Consuelo had br ought in over a dozen special events or conferences, which will have spurred $1.2 million or mor e new economic activity in the county after all are held. Merlino figured that in occupancy tax and sales tax r eceipts fr om direct income fr om these events, Consuelo has br ought in nearly $30,000 to date to county cof fers, and that figure is to swell to about $140,000 by November 2012 after pending events he arranged for are held. The total benefit to the county is much higher in indirect monetary impact, he said. Merlino observed that despite a lagging economy that was hurting other r egions, Lake Geor ge’s tax receipts were growing. “We ar e definitely getting our ‘bang for the buck,’” he said. “W e are spending our money in the

right places — we should continue the contract with the Lake Geor ge Chamber.” Kenny suggested that the position be eliminated and that T anya Brand of the county T ourism Department assume the duties of spe-
cial events coordinator for a $5,000 raise and an extra $20,000 travel allowance. Others said that Consuelo, working in the private sector , could accomplish things that a public employee would be unable to do.
Kenny noted that virtually all the events and confer ences Consuelo arranged for booked accommodations just in Lake George. Other supervisors came to Consuelo's defense, noting that Lake George is the draw of the county ,
and that boosted tourism and convention activity in Lake Geor ge benefits the entire county. Merlino noted that Consuelo had booked various groups including and IRS confer ence, a cheerleading competition, a state Jaycees confer ence, as well as a beach pole vaulting competition in Lake George. He also observed that Consuelo is now lining up a lar ge r eligious convention and has been a key player in establishing the Centurion Cycling race that is expected to draw thousands of people into Warren County this summer. Also, Consuelo is in the pr ocess of lining up a Cadillac-LaSalle Grand National event, which is expected to give a $232,000 economic boost to the county. While Johnsbur g Supervisor Sterling Goodspeed questioned whether Consuelo’s dual position represented a conflict of inter est, Sagamore sales dir ector Kevin Rosa disagreed. “I don’t see any kind of conflict,” Rosa said. “He’s r epresenting the entire area to niche markets.” Lake Geor ge Supervisor Frank McCoy and Bolton Supervisor Ron Conover expressed strong support for Consuelo and his work. “Fifty-thousand dollars is a minor amount compar ed to the $1 million or more he’s bringing into the county,” Conover said.

WCS wrestling squad starts season with victories
By Thom Randall
thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — T ough conditioning has yielded early-season rewards for the Warrensburg High School team, surprising local sports fans and thrilling the vocal crowd. The 2011-12 wrestling team r oster has been filled primarily with rookies, since the departur e last year of a number of talented veterans that left the team r oster r emarkably shallow. So the strong performance of the team against Granville on Dec. 6 was a heralded event for the school. The WCS squad beat Granville with a score of 53 to 21. “Conditioning has definitely helped i n b uilding o ur w restlers’ strength and endurance,” WCS Wrestling Coach Mark T rapasso said. “We’re lifting kettle bells or running the school halls carrying them,” he said. “And the kids ar e working extra hard — they believe in what we’re doing.” Perhaps most unexpected was the upset victory Bur gher Jerico Converse accomplished with an 86 decision in overtime against vet-
eran Granville grappler Hayden Miller at 145 pounds. Trapasso said that Converse outlasted Miller due to being in good shape. Conditioning also was a deciding factor for teammate Charlie Giknis at 152 pounds, Trapasso said. Behind his opponent, Christian Carr by a daunting 0-5 scor e, Giknis captur ed 1 1 straight points — eight points alone in the thir d period — to win the match 11-5. At 160 pounds, Andrew Fish of WCS won a 7-0 decision over Brad Perry. At 170 pounds, Desmon Allen of WCS was pinned in 3:40 by Granville’s Paul Hanna, although he had some good earlier moves. At 182, T revor Baker of WCS pinned Zack McClellan in 47 seconds, using a quick double-leg attack, flipping the Granville wrestler on his back. At 195, veteran WCS grappler Lucas Nelson, the 2010 Section II Class D Champion, won an 18-2 technical fall over Mack Rozelle. Nelson let him go several times so he could take him down more times and accumulate the heavy point total.

At 220 pounds, WCS Fr eshman Blake Vaisey pinned Scott Reed in 4:32, demonstrating to local fans that he has a promising career ahead of him. At 285 pounds, Granville’s Josh McKittrick pinned Dakota Kimball of WCS in 27 seconds. The 99pound weight class was a forfeit to Granville. In the 106-pound class, veteran scrapper Jon Vaisey pinned Dylan Martindale in 1 minute 19 seconds, using his signatur e “cement mixer” move, which involves attacking the opponent’s head, underhooking his arm and flipping him to the mat. While the fans expected the muscle-bound Vaisey to prevail — he’s a 2010 Class D Champion — they were caught of f guar d when WCS
freshman Austin West won a 7-0 decision over his opponent at 1 13 pounds. “Austin contr olled the match,” Trapasso said. “He’s gritty , tough and determined.” At 120 pounds, WCS junior Beecher Baker pinned Granville’s Steve Cohen in 4:40, showing why he’s consider ed a key veteran of the WCS team. At 120 pounds, WCS’s Nick Nedelcu pulled of f a stunning achievement. Utilizing his blistering speed, he pinned Damien Duffy in 18 seconds, slamming him on his back, Trapasso said. “Nick’s not a technician, he’s a brawler,” the coach said. At 132 pounds, Nathaniel Palmer of Granville decisioned veteran WCS wr estler Denver
Berry, 7-2. At 138 pounds, W ill Yarmowich proved his athleticism by pinning Granville’s Matt Decker in 3 minutes, 27 seconds. Warrensburg’s convincing win against wasn’t the end of the good news. Dec. 10 in a multi-team tournament, the wr estling team beat both Watervliet and 2010 Section II Champions Duanesburg, although the Burghers followed up by losing to Cobleshill-Richmondville. Trapasso said Dec. 11 he was encouraged what he’s seen so far this season, with his wrestlers compensating for a team r oster that’s r emarkably thin this year. “We’re excited,” he said. W e’re hoping we can turn a few heads if we keep doing what we’re doing.”

At home on Dec. 7, North Warren trounced Bolton Central 61 to 32 with hot shooting, particularly from freshman Nick Sapienza, who hit no less than six thr ee-pointers. In the game, Sapienza totaled 23 points, and senior Benn Frasier tallied 21 points and 10 rebounds, Humiston said. “Benn and Nick did what we expected them to do,” Humiston said. “We shot the ball r eal well — But we also had a smothering defense; we for ced Bolton into doing things they didn’t want to do.” Bolton struggled to get their shots off , but senior Mitchell Jordon scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds, aided by 13 points from Junior Billy Smith.

A key player in the Cougar defense was Senior Kristian Seeley, who returned in 2011-12 to the active ro ster after tearing his ACL last year. Humiston said the senior is utilized to shut down the opposing teams’ best players. “Seeley’s real fast, athletic, and his work ethic is tremendous,” Humiston said. “He takes every day as a challenge.” After a game against Hadley-Luzerne on Dec. 13, the Cougars are slated to take on Salem Dec. 16 at home. “So far, we couldn’t ask for better start,” he said.
During a Dec. 12 practice session, North Warren Athletic Director and Basketball Coach Jason Humiston counsels his players, including (rear, from left): Karl Brugger, Anthony Sapienza, Justice Parker and Iain Underwood.
