WARRENSBURG — Regardless of the bolstered state education aid in the recently enacted 2016 state budget, area school districts will likely be facing continued financial pressure in upcoming years, area school district officials predicted this week.
Administrators at Warrensburg, Lake George and North Warren school districts all said they were relieved that the Gap Elimination Adjustment or GEA — a take-back of state aid that lasted seven years, causing substantial fiscal pain for New York’s schools — was finally retired by state officials. The 2016 state budget includes increases in basic “foundation” per-pupil aid and facilities

SARATOGA SPRINGS —When 2,000 people filled the City Center’s main hall Monday evening to hear Republican candidate John Kasich, Erik and Jenna Duffy, of Hudson Falls, were among them. They’d brought the whole family, including children Lydia, 5, Robbie, 7, and Savannah, 15. While Erik considers himself a supporter of Ted Cruz, Jenna is still deciding between Donald Trump and Cruz. Neither had plans of casting a vote for Kasich in the state primaries April 19. “We want Savannah to form her own views by being exposed to both sides of the coin,” said Duffy. They’d taken Savannah to see Cruz in Scotia the week before. “The differences I saw at the rallies were that the crowd had much less energy than at the Cruz rally,” said Savannah following the Kasich event. “This could because we weren’t allowed signs or because it was recorded for live TV, but the >> See KASICH | pg. 11
construction aid, as well as the eradication of the reviled GEA. North Warren Business Manager Mary Lou Carstensen noted that the GEA elimination means a boost of $201,551 this year alone in her school district’s budget. She estimated that the GEA had cost North Warren taxpayers about $2.3 million over the last seven years. North Warren Superintendent

Bernard McCann said that he was relieved that the GEA, originally proposed as a way to help the state balance looming deficits during the economic collapse, was now history. “The Gap Elimination Adjustment was a bad idea to begin with — and now that it’s gone, we can move forward from here,’ he said. “But as long as tax cap of any sort ex>> See GEA | pg. 13
Sun Community News Editor Pete DeMola named NYPA writer of the year
ELIZABETHTOWN — Sun Community News Editor Pete DeMola has been named writer of the year by the New York Press Association at its annual spring conference in Saratoga Springs. The state-wide acknowledgement is John one of the most prestigious awards given Gereau by the association each year and is highly Managing Editor competitive, according to Rich Hotaling, NYPA’s association and creative services manager. DeMola was one of 57 newspaper professionals vying for the honor, which was judged by members of the Washington Newspapers Publishers Association, Hotaling said. The award required submitting five non-related articles written by one author and published in 2015. In their critique, the judges said DeMola did a great job of investigative reporting — best among the 57 entries — and said he did a fine job of storytelling using vivid words to help.

“He showed great depth in many stories, too,” the judges went on to say. “All five stories are strong which is rare.” The articles on which DeMola was judged included an indepth investigative piece on former embroiled Essex town clerk William Morgan; an article about a businessman who conned the community one nickel at a time; a human interest piece about the prison break in Dannemora; a lighthearted feature about the Essex County Fair and a whistleblower article about a plan to pump PCB-laden water from an old missile silo in Lewis, New York. >> See PETE DEMOLA | pg. 13

No increase in spending or tax for Warrensburg CS Ballot prop will ask voters to greenlight $1.16 million from fund balance for 2016-17 By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG —When voters in May vote to approve the Warrensburg School District’s 2016-17 budget, they’ll be looking at no increase in spending or taxes, according to Superintendent John Goralski. A ballot proposition will ask for approval of a transfer of $1.16 million from fund balance to a capital reserve fund in anticipation of a number of projects. “We’re not just squirreling money away,” said Goralski. “We have a definite purpose.”
An engineer’s report identified approximately $20 million in necessary projects, which includes classroom and security upgrades, along with energy efficiency improvements such as lighting and heating. Some of the improvements are necessary due to the age of the building and previous years of deferred maintenance. “It’s nothing glamorous, but needs to be done,” he said. Last summer, the doors were replaced, lighting in the gym was upgraded, the elementary school got a new roof, heating and ventilation were upgraded and a new playground was installed. “We did our last two capital projects with no additional tax impact,” Goralski said. “Our goal is to do that again.” The increased debt service due to those im-
provements did have an affect on the district’s tax cap, allowing an increase in taxes up to 2.47 percent. An increase was not necessary, said Goralski, crediting some to the contract settlement with the teachers. A less expensive health insurance plan is now in place: teachers will contribute 17 percent, instead of 14 percent, of the premium costs. Total savings were anticipated to be about $100,000. The state budget gives the final payments in Gap Elimination Funding this year. Warrensburg is receiving approximately $48,000, which Goralski said they had anticipated. No cuts were necessary in programs or services. Some after school programs may be added, but nothing had been decided as of
early this week. There’s nothing in the works as far as additional shared services with other districts, either. “We already share merged sports. We’re part of the True North school consortium,” he said, which brings shared professional development and other training. In addition to shared educational services through BOCES, Warrensburg hosts an after school enrichment program with students from Bolton and Lake George. Budget spending for 2016-17 remains the same as the previous year, at $19.87 million. Taxes collected will also remain the same at $8.29 million. The public vote will be held from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 17 at Warrensburg Junior-Senior High School.
Lotus Group’s second-year Poetry Slam seeks participants WARRENSBURG — The Lotus Group will be hosting its second annual Lotus Loves Literacy Poetry Slam in honor of National Poetry Month on Thursday, April 21, on the Lodge on Echo Lake, at 6 p.m. This year, the public chose the beneficiary and have selected the World Awareness Children’s Museum in Glens Falls. A portion of the proceeds will go to the children’s room in Richard Library, the inaugural year’s beneficiary. Tickets will be $10 in advance, $12 at the door, and $5 for students. Food and soft drinks are included with the purchase of a ticket. The contest is free to enter as a poet.
The event is an effort to gather participants from across the region, young and old, novice or professional, as well as audience members looking to attend a celebration of the spoken word. Last year, over 30 participants (whose ages ranged from 6-80) read their original poetry and over 100 guests attend the event. The charity’s goals for this year are to bring together talent from all the North Country, beat last year’s attendance and participation, and double the amount raised in the 2015 Slam which was $1,500. The contest will have participants enter into one of three categories based on age where they recite their original poetry to
a panel of judges. Age groups will be as follows: ‘Littles,’ ages 6 through 11; ‘Juniors,’ ages 12 through 17 and ‘seniors,’ for those 18 and over. There are no limitations or restrictions on the poetry that is entered, all styles and subjects are welcome. Winners will be chosen from each division and awarded a price (places depend on amount of participants) and will also have their work featured on the Lotus website, the library’s website and all respective Facebook pages. If poets would like to inquire about what judges will be looking for, a rubric is available upon request. For more information, call Maggie Morgan at 478-8069 or email maggie@lotusanalytics.com.

Area citizens offer fond memories of Amanda Barnes By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews
ATHOL — Friends and associates of Amanda Barnes — who passed away March 29 at the age of 70 — shared their memories this week of the Thurman woman wellknown for her community involvement and positive impact on education regionally. Barnes was an active, dedicated member of the Warrensburg Central School Board of Education from 1984 to 1994, a period of considerable transition in education. Her tenure concluded with her serving as school board president from 1990 through 1992, when the Warrensburg Junior-Senior High School on Horicon Avenue was developed. Barnes was a leading advocate for construction of the new school, and was a member of the team that enabled its development at a minimal cost to taxpayers — a remarkable accomplishment for the era — by garnering BOCES financial support as well as maximizing state aid. Gary Martin of Thurman served on the school board alongside Barnes. “Amanda always worked for the good of the community,” he said, noting her commitment to education and her wise decisions. Thurman town supervisor Evelyn Wood also noted her dedication. “Amanda was a wonderful woman who could take an analytical look at a problem or situation, and come up with an appropriate
solution,” Wood said. “She was an outstanding member of our community as well as Warrensburg.” Martin noted that in later years, Barnes was an active advocate for literacy, helping many local residents achieve their General Education Diplomas. “She was always there for anyone,” he said. Wood offered a similar thought. “She was a great neighbor to people in Thurman — always willing to help them out,” Wood said. Rex Reynolds of Thurman — an American History teacher at Warrensburg High School from 1983 to 2014 — also praised Barnes’ commitment to education, noting that her positive influence in the Thurman-Warrensburg community will last for generations. “Amanda was a remarkably effective board member and a great advocate for the children and the area communities,” he said. “Also, she was personable and easy to talk to.” Amanda “Mandie” Barnes passed away peacefully March 29 at her Thurman home. She was born April 10, 1945 in Hackensack, NJ. She earned a Bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude in 1967 and Master’s degree, summa cum laude in 1968, both from Fairleigh Dickinson University. She married Sydney M. Barnes, on January 23, 1965, and they eventually settled in Thur-
man. Barnes taught middle and high school English, first in northern NJ, then locally, at Stuart Townsend Middle School in Lake Luzerne until she retired in 2002. Through her teaching years and beyond, she gained the reputation of exerting a positive impact on many lives, inspiring students to have high expectations for themselves and achieve their best. People in the Thurman and Warrensburg
have said she was a strong advocate for open, honest government, and that she was also dedicated to the principles of social justice. Expressions of sympathy may be made via donations to the Warrensburg Central School Scholarship Association, 103 Schroon River Road, Warrensburg, NY 12885, or to a similar organization of one’s choice. People are encouraged to visit alexanderfh.net fto view and add their reflections to an online guestbook.
Lake George Clean-up Day coming soon LAKE GEORGE — Property owners in the town of Lake George are asked to do their part in tidying up the municipality. The annual town of Lake George Spring Clean-Up effort, involving the curbside pickup of brush, is to be held from Monday April 25 through Friday May 20. Town highway workers will pick up brush tied in bundles so that one man can handle them, and no longer than eight feet long. Branches must be no more than 3 inches in diameter. Leaves do not have to be bagged, but if they are, a paper biodegradable bag must be used. Curbside pickup of brush will end May 20. The bags and piles of yard waste must be free of rocks, stones and debris — they will not be picked up if they contain these items. There will be no curbside pickup of solid refuse such as appliances or furniture. After May 20, brush and leaves may be taken to the town Transfer Station, located on Transfer Road, by residents. Town highway employees thank residents for their cooperation

PLATTSBURGH — Donald Trump will hold a rally in Plattsburgh on Friday. Clinton County Republican Committee Executive Vice Chair John Zurlo confirmed a rally is scheduled for the Crete Civic Center at 7 p.m. New York has become the epicenter of the presidential race this week before voters head to the polls for the primary on April 19. On Monday, Trump, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Bernie Sanders campaigned in the Capital Region. Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, who represented New York in the Senate from 2001-2009, appeared in Cohoes earlier this month, while Sen. Ted Cruz stumped in Scotia.

Dragon Salt Works offers variety of peaceful pieces By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
GLENS FALLS — It was 2013 and Diane Piccirillo was stressed out. “A friend said, ‘You need a salt lamp,’” recalled Piccirillo. “When I saw the lamps for the first time I knew I needed more than one. I wanted a car full of them.” The lamps, produced from natural salt crystals formed over 300 million years ago, absorb moisture from the atmosphere and build up a negative ion field. The negative ions set into the atmosphere by the salt lamps are said to neutralize positively charged dust, pollen, bacterial and contaminant particles. Users report it helps balance the levels of serotonin in the body, a chemical linked with mood and stress. She tried one out and before she knew it, was selling them from her home. Those that tried the lamps, like Piccirillo, became quick believers. Before she knew it, her venture had outgrown her home and she needed a new location for Dragon Salt Works. Piccirillo settled into a shop in The Shirt Factory in December 2013, at the corner of Cooper and Lawrence streets in Glens Falls. The collection of other offerings in the space, including acupuncture, yoga, essential oils and a variety of artists spanning a multitude of mediums, was the perfect fit.
The lamps, made of Himalayan salt mined in Pakistan and India, are believed make users feel relaxed, yet energized, enhancing concentration, productivity and alertness. The mood in Piccirillo’s shop reflects those qualities. It’s quiet and calm. The glow from the lamps is peaceful and inviting, a perfect match with its well-worn wood floors and streaming natural lighting from large industrial windows. “Initially, customers usually purchase a small lamp. It isn’t long before they are back buying more,” she said. Indeed, there are many to chose from, varying in color from a soft white to warm orange. Some are a rustic, natural shape, appearing to be freshly retrieved from the salt mine, while other take on sculpted shapes, such as sea shells, globes or leaves. “It’s really all a matter of personal taste,” said Piccirillo, who sells them both from the shop and online.
To offer online shoppers a personal selection, she photographs several, based on the customer’s preferences, and lets them select their favorites. One aspect that make the collection unique is the availability of large lamps. Some can be up to three feet tall, weighing over 200 pounds. “We have the unique ability to special order any size lamp a customer may need,” she said. Large Himalayan Salt Lamps are difficult to find, if not impossible locally. Piccirillo’s distributor has a close relationship with the family-owned operation in Pakistan where all of her salt comes from. Lamps are not the only thing to be found, either. She’s recently expanded her line to include salt licks for horses. Gourmet salts include, Himalayan white pink and black salts. There are grilling planks and shot glasses, both which enhance the flavor of drinks or food. Piccirillo also carries a line of Himalayan Salt spa and massage products. The fine ground salt is a great alternative to products containing microbeads. “It’s great for your skin and better for the environment,” she said. “It completely dissolves.” To view the products or to get more information, visit dragonsaltworks.com. Dragon Salt Works, located at the corner of Cooper and Lawrence streets in Glens Falls, offers a variety of Himalayan salt products.
‘Spotlight on Broadway’ fundraiser to give support QUEENSBURY — The North Country Ministry is holding a “Spotlight on Broadway” Friday, April 29, at Hiland Park Country Club. Tickets are $65 and are now available. The evening will include hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and raffles as well as dinner followed by a live auction featuring auctioneer Martin Seelye. Glenn and Leigh Anne Dorman of The Offero Project, a group of Queensbury High School’s Madrigal Singers directed by Penny Schiek, and North Country Ministry’s caseworker, Rebecca Bammert, will entertain with renditions of favorite Broadway show tunes. “All of us have had moments in our lives where our resources have run dry – whether financial, spiritual, or interpersonal,” said Judy Carr, executive director. “It helps to know you are not alone at times like that.” North Country Ministry’s emergency assistance fund as well as its advocacy and referral services often provide the material assistance to help someone through a hard time and return to financial self-sufficiency. However, Carr identifies the compassion shown by the Ministry’s staff and volunteers as the key factor in ensuring that clients know they are genuinely cared for. In addition to these emergency services, North Country Ministry also runs a Food Pantry every Wednesday afternoon which is also available on an emergency basis. Their Baby’s Place program provides clothing, diapers and other infant items to families in need. This program is supplemented by both a play group and a grant-funded program to provide new infant and child car seats to those who qualify. There is
a Family Clothing Center, the Gathering Place weekly community meal, affordable efficiency apartments for adults, and the Furniture Barn which makes home furnishings available to those in need. In addition, a health insurance advocate and an advisor for the SNAP program are often on hand when the Food Pantry is open to sign eligible clients up for nutrition assistance or health insurance programs. “The gala is a wonderful opportunity for neighbors to help neighbors while enjoying a festive celebration of human compassion,” said Dr. James Morrissey, chairman of North Country Ministry’s Board of Directors. “Countless individuals and businesses contribute items to the silent and live auctions, are underwriters for the event, give their time, or make monetary donations,” he added. “It is inspiring to see how the community comes out to support this important organization in its mission.” Auction items include a week’s stay on Sanibel Island in Florida, a Noblesse pendant necklace donated by Frank Adams Jewelers, golf packages to Cronin’s Golf Resort, Hiland Park Country Club, and the Sagamore Resort as well as a week’s vacation at a beautiful beach house in Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. Theme baskets, tickets to area activities such as The Wild Center, Whiteface Mountain, Gore Mountain and Garnet Hill Lodge and gift certificates to local restaurants such as the newly renovated Merrill Magee House, Jack’s American
Bistro, and 190 Grille and Cinema will all be auctioned off. Lovely handmade furniture, jewelry and other items reflecting our region will also be included in the auction. Major underwriters and sponsors for the event include The Himoff Family, Stafford Carr & McNally, Barton International, Community Bank NA, Hudson Headwaters Health Network, James and Kay Morrissey, Behan Communications, Gary and Charleen Bivona, Cronin’s Golf Resort, Glens Falls National Bank and Trust Company, Lake George RV Park, The Michaels Group. O’Brien Insurance Agency, Steve and Sandi Parisi, Saratoga Spine, Trustco Bank, and Edward Jones/Carl Cedrone. Media sponsors are Sun Community News, The Lake George Mirror, and Regional Radio Group. Tickets are $65 per person. Advance reservations are required and will be accepted until Wednesday, April 20. For reservations, pcall Sally at 793-7409 or download an invitation from NorthCountryMinistry.org where more details about the gala may also be found.

Augmented Reality
ugmented Reality: Now there’s a phrase I never thought would become part of my everyday vocabulary, but for the last few weeks it has perhaps been my most used phrase. If you aren’t familiar with Augmented Reality, or the acronym AR, you will be very soon. When I first heard of it several years ago it sounded like some digital tech guy’s dream and like most of you, I never really gave it a second thought. When it resurfaced recently during a conference call with publishers from around the country, we were all ready to move on to the next subject. But then one publisher got our attention and made us take a closer look. Even within our own company, our very astute publisher in our Syracuse office, who also serves as president of the New York Press Association, told me he never really understood AR, but now can’t stop talking about it. AR allows any visible product in print or on a screen to magically come to life. The process of AR memorizes an image and then digitally allows us to associate that image with eye popping video and graphic movements on a mobile devise, when scanned. Still not impressed? Are you still reading the column? In this week’s paper you’ll begin to see several ads and soon articles with a small box shaped-like a smart cell phone with an AR inside. Download a free App from the Apple Store or Google Play called “Layar” then scan the ad or article. The phone or tablet will briefly go to a ghosting look on the copy and then watch what happens! The newspaper comes to life, transporting you to digital interaction. Still not sold? Not a big smart phone or tablet user? I can appreciate that, but this version of AR is only the beginning. Picture some point in the not so distance future when your everyday eye-wear is digitally enhanced. Images and sounds from all kinds of material will be a tap on the eye-wear away. For a long time, people assumed the internet was the future of newspapers. However, new research finds that over the past eight years the websites of 51 corporately owned newspapers have not seen appreciable readership gains. The average reach of a newspaper website within the newspaper’s market has gone from 9.8 percent in 2007 to 10 percent in 2015, while at the same time, print readership has fallen from 42.4 percent in 2007 to 28.5 percent in 2015. Readers haven’t abandoned print, it’s newspapers that have abandoned readers. AR is the first of many steps to bring hard copy and digital into one platform. Once again our newspaper is proud to be the first newspaper in our region to bring AR to you. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News.

Guest viewpoint: A true view of Donald Trump
T
here has been so much hatred directed at Donald Trump lately — a lot of it in this newspaper — by what are obviously coordinated “cut and paste” efforts, taken from internet propaganda sites, to smear him by some of your readers — who are trying to paint him as some kind of xenophobic monster, fascist, sexist, Hitler clone, bigoted, business bankrupter, con man, womanizer — you name it. I feel compelled to counter some of these vicious attacks. It’s very comforting for naive persons led by organized political activists to attack someone by hiding behind perceived shields of Christianity, patriotism and other kinds of political correctness. I want to make clear that this is not an endorsement of Donald Trump in any way. However, there are always two sides to every story. I only want to put things into proper perspective. A lot of people have been conditioned to believe that Donald Trump’s success was primarily owed to his “Daddy’s money.” Nonsense! Anyone who has ever owned a business knows that it takes a lot more than money to run a business. I can assure you that Donald Trump has put in, and still puts in, a lot of sleepless nights worrying about his business ventures. I also guarantee that he has earned every penny of his efforts —just like every other successful businessperson in the world. His father, Fred, started his first business—a very successful market called Trump Market in Woodhaven, Queens—coincidentally my childhood hometown! Fred Trump could easily be the poster person for the American Dream; rightly or wrongly, his son Donald, is now the premier Manhattan real estate developer and a major symbol of elegant American capitalism at its finest. Yes, his father left him a significant inheritance which certainly helped him succeed in his business ventures, but so what? I am also a serial entrepreneur, on a smaller scale of course, and many times I wished that I had a rich father. But, I didn’t; yet I never begrudged anyone’s business successes. Professional political propagandists want naive people to think of Donald Trump as a rude, crude braggart and blowhard. Nothing could be farther from the truth! He may not speak eloquently (of which I am sure that he can when a black tie occasion demands it) but he has a genuinely honest style. He doesn’t need to cover stupidity with polished phoniness. He’s only being a true native New Yorker: sometimes loud, sometimes argumentative, sometimes obnoxious, sometimes aggressive, sometimes polished, but always sincere (unlike longterm permanently ensconced politicians). Owing a lot to their New York values, New Yorkers Generally say what they mean and mean what they say. It’s a characteristic of successful entrepreneurs to take great pride in their accomplishments and they enjoy talking about them. Donald Trump has rightfully earned bragging rights for his achievements. (I, like him, also take pride in my accomplishments and like to talk about my rightfully earned achievements.) Professional political propagandists want naive people to believe that he is racist, sexist and anti-immigration. More nonsense! Business people are too busy to concern themselves with a person’s color, origin, sexual or any other preferences. Donald Trump didn’t build a diversified, multinational world-class organization by excluding from his business ventures blacks, women, Saudis, Israelis, Muslims, Mexicans, Cubans or any other potential customers. Professional political propagandists want naive people to fault him for his personal life and especially his choice of women. He’s a wealthy celebrity who married a woman who in her own right was a celebrity model. What’s the matter with that? Professional political propagandists want naive people to paint him as being a Hitler clone. More nonsense!
Adolf Hitler came from a modest Austrian family and aggressively rose to power through manipulative political maneuvering. Donald Trump became a multinational builder of exclusive tangible properties through his ambition, hard work and determination to further his American Dream. Professional political propagandists want naive people to paint him as some kind of incompetent playboy jerk who has Photo courtesy of Gage Skidmore through Creative Commons Licensing. Some rights reserved. bankrupted several businesses. More nonsense! Businesses go bankrupt all the time and for many reasons: major economic recessions, changing fashions and fads, unexpected natural disasters, raw material shortages, political pandering to anti-business activists etc. Think: Super Storm Sandy, Hurricane Katrina, the Northridge Earthquake, the Phuket Tsunami, TWA, United Airlines, GM, Sears, AIG, Lehman Bros, etc. I guarantee that the recent push for a nationwide $15 minimum wage will bankrupt even more businesses—maybe even some of Donald Trump’s! Professional political propagandists want naive people to paint him as a con artist who has been, and is being, sued many times. Again, anyone who has ever been in business, gets sued sooner or later: Someone slips on your sidewalk, you or an employee back a truck into someone’s building, an employee drops hot coffee into a customer’s lap, a disgruntled employee accuses you of unfairly firing him, etc. There is an entire industry of desperate lawyers just stomping at the bit to sue for any of these reasons and plenty more. Look at all the TV ads by these shady law firms. Professional political propagandists urge naive people to poke fun at the time that he served Trump wine and steaks at one of his earlier political events to woo voters. What did his critics expect him to serve: Kentucky Fried chicken and coleslaw, with bottled water—like they do at many small town church picnics? Serving quality food to important guests in a world class Trump venue is an elegant sign of mature etiquette and political savviness. Professional political propagandists want naive people to paint him as an uncaring rich person insensitive to anyone else’s personal feelings. More nonsense! When Ted Cruz stupidly and ignorantly attacked Donald Trump’s “New York values” on national television, he instantly responded without hesitation that he lost several friends in the 9/11 attacks on his beloved Manhattan. This was especially meaningful for me because I, too, happened to be in New York on 9/11. No compassion? Just more BS from Trump haters! I could go on and on, but, lastly, professional political propagandists want naive people to paint him as a political bumpkin who understands business, but doesn’t know how the world of politics works. This is the biggest nonsense of all! I can assure you that Donald Trump learned from his Dad at a very early age how to deal with politicians at all levels—both in the U.S. and internationally. If any readers want to learn about Donald Trump’s world class business empire, unclouded by propaganda, visit the Trump Organization‘s website at trump.com. It’s abundantly clear to anyone that Donald Trump is at least as qualified to be President than all 545 of the U.S.’s current “leaders” put together. David Safrany Lake View Terrace, CA

PortÊ HenryÊ wonÕ tÊ loseÊ identityÊ withÊ dissolution To the Editor: I recently attended a meeting in Port Henry regarding dissolving the village. The village and town came up with a dissolution plan for all residents to read. At the meeting, this plan was explained to us through the Laberge Group. Our fire department is going to remain the same, the only change will be in the name i.e. Port Henry Fire District. Our sidewalks are still going to be shoveled. As far as garbage/recycle pickup, a sanitation company has agreed to service seniors (55 and above) for $12 a month. At the end of the meeting. a vote was passed (4 to 1) in favor of the dissolution. Now, a group that wants to keep the village is circulating a petition to stop the dissolution. I am urging residents not to sign this. I, as a taxpayer here, am tired of paying village taxes. We are not going to lose our identity, we are still going to be “Port Henry.” The only thing we will lose is paying village taxes. Another plan you might want to think about is the possibility of a hydroplant in Mineville. If we are still a village, we will not be entitled to any tax breaks that the town will get. So please keep this in mind if this group asks you to sign this petition. Patty Urban Port Henry
KeepÊ upÊ theÊ goodÊ work! To the Editor: I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Sun for providing a public forum for the free exchange of ideas on the relevant issues of the day. While I don’t always agree with their positions, I recognize that they are expressing real concern for the people in the area and their future. This past week, I dropped my longtime subscription to the Press Republican. Their editorial “slant” has moved way too far from my comfort zone. I’ll try the Post Star for a while and see how that goes. But increasingly I find the Sun has useful and interesting content. I hope that trend continues. Keep up the good work. Fred V.

TeachÊ yourÊ kidsÊ aboutÊ gunÊ safety To the Editor: Tonight on channel 10 TV was an article on Nicholas’ Law. I believe this is just for Albany County. It is a mandatory firearms storage law in a locked case. Any loss of life is a tragedy, especially if it was preventable. There is no reason the parents can’t instruct their children in firearms safety. You teach them to look both ways before they cross a street, to wear a seat belt, to wear a bike helmet, not to go with strangers and on and on. So why not firearms safety? The NRA has the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program, which I might add, many schools refuse to use, even though it is free. Very simple—see a gun, don’t touch, leave the area, tell an adult. “Oh we don’t want to glorify guns.” Come on, get real. My first “instruction” in firearms safety was when I was about four to four-and-a-half years old when I picked up my mother’s Colt 25 auto, unloaded in the chamber, but with a full mag. A one foot wooden ruler was applied across my butt and across my fingers! It was applied hard enough so that it at 75 years old I still remember it. George Phillips Chestertown
US needs a flat tax To the Editor: It seems the older I get, the more I become concerned with the direction our great nation and country is going. Things don’t seem to be getting done in Washington as they might. Though some of the fault may be our own (the voters) due to who we put in office. I believe it is time for term limits—instead of the same old life-timers holding down their precious seats. Maybe we should limit their terms in office to eight or maybe 10 years or less. The great compensation and benefits our representatives receive is more than incentive to try to keep one’s seat. Perhaps, with little interest or concern for those who put them there. This goes for senators as well as our representatives. The so-called power of one rep or senator should be no greater than the man or woman in the next seat before one could run again for that office. There are many out there with good ideas and common sense that need a chance to do the public good. I also believe in a flat tax. The first requirement being to determine the country’s gross national product. That being found—the need to determine what percentage of the gross product would be needed to run the government—the military—social security, etc. The gross product is so large that probably only a small percentage would be needed for taxes. “Possibly” 3 to 5 percent. Every company—business organization would need to report deductions to complicate things (Sorry!) Instead, everyone would pay his or her 3 or 5 percent. The beggar on the street (sure) the working family—big corporations and the millionaires—their 3 to 5 percent! No one would be pointed out as not paying their fair share.
The Bible refers to the promised land—there is nor, has ever been in all the world’s history, a country with more opportunities or freedoms than the United States of America. Lets do our best to insure these freedoms and pass them on to other countries as time passes and they are so motivated. E.C. James Shoreham, Vt
COMMENTARY
Little Bits A Sunday of Solid Gold
PortÊ HenryÊ dissolutionÊ planÊ isÊ notÊ legallyÊ binding To the Editor: A headline like “Port Henry board adopts dissolution plan” gives a true fact but does not tell the true story of the Tuesday, April 5 public hearing. Without exploring other tax saving options, several village residents petitioned last June, on the promise of tax relief, to have a vote on dissolution of the Village of Port Henry. In October, by 19 votes, the measure passed. At that point, village and town officials were legally required to draft a plan for dissolving the village. With the help of the LaBerge group of Albany, they did so. Since then, public hearings have been held and villagers were told they will have a chance to vote on the final version of the plan for dissolution. We get our chance only if petitions with 25 percent of the registered voters are presented within 45 days of the last public hearing. Several reports of the April 5 meeting describe it as “contentious” or “hostile.” Well, there’s a good reason for that was not mentioned in any articles I read. The fatal flaw in the plan for dissolution, no matter how well worked out the details sound, is that it is not legally binding. It takes very few words to describe that very big problem. When I first heard this, I really did not believe it. I e-mailed a representative from the LaBerge group asking if the plan was legally binding. Her response: “There is no legal weight of enforcement that the plan carries” and “The dissolution plan represents the recommended implementation strategy from the village to the town.” In other words, the plan is a polite note to the town to please be nice to us. When the town gets into budget trouble, which will happen, any promises made to the village costing the town money will be dropped. At that point, our only recourse will be to pull out our copies of the plan and say “but you said...you promised.” Because of the relative population numbers, after dissolution, voters from Port Henry will have much less effect on town policy. We will have voted away our political voice. In case the reader has not guessed by now, petitions for a referendum on the plan are now circulating. It is my sincere hope that these petitions are filed with a large excess of signers, the plan is rejected by village voters and dissolution is stopped. Kim Gilbertson Port Henry
ViolenceÊ atÊ TrumpÊ ralliesÊ causedÊ byÊ theÊ left To the Editor: I keep seeing in your paper letters claiming that Trump and Hitler are one and the same. I guess I read a different history than all the rest of the writers. It’s not Trump followers who are taking to the streets to break up political rallies of their opponents. It’s not Trump followers who have shut down an opponent’s rally. It’s not Trump followers that have claimed their opponents have no right to share their ideas or to gather together. Trump followers do not go to Sanders or Clinton rallies just to disrupt them and try to shut them down. Trump followers do not mass in the streets and try to stop Sanders and Clinton followers from getting into their rallies. All the violence at Trump rallies has been caused by the left. (What little there has been.) They are the real fascists. So I stop here to ask, who are the real bullies here? Or is it okay or the left to do what they please and no one is allowed to defend themselves, except the left? Trump offers to pay for legal help for any of his people that run afoul of the law. So the left cries foul. They have doing the same thing for years. But there is one thing Hitler and Trump do have in common: Charisma. Obama has this too and he also has a fawning group of followers who would do anything for him. Let’s not forget that Obama also has been friendly with a domestic terrorist. No, I still am not going to vote for Trump. But it is past time for the name calling to stop. It is time for Sanders and Clinton to stand up and condemn all violence done by their followers as well as their opponents. Raynard Corrow Indian Lake

T
he number of those who remember my radio career is dwindling. It was April, 1997 when I left that adventure. The page turned and what followed couldn’t have been more satisfying. While on the radio, I originated a music program titled “A Sunday of Solid Gold.” Using records I collected since childhood, along with some belonging to the station, I was able to feature songs that dated from the beginnings of recorded music right up to the more recent decades. You might recall a song called “With a Little Help From My Friends.” It applied to that Sunday program. On holidays, friends like Don Cassidy would show up with rare songs I didn’t possess. His wife Lillian gave me her collection. The late dentist, Dr. “Ditt” Dittmar, often came in with records and tape cassettes. When he passed away, I learned that he had willed to me his entire music collection, meticulously annotated and labeled. I have never seen its match. Through the years, others left us and I was the recipient of their collections as well. Another friend I simply refer to as “Dickie,” knew my love of old country music and kept me well supplied with cassettes that I shared with my listeners. Then, there was Ron Longto. If you knew him, you need no explanation. If you didn’t, it was your loss. He wrote for a newspaper called “The North Countryman” and loved old music as much as I. While Kaye was cleaning out a bedroom in preparation for guests recently, she stumbled upon a cardboard box jammed full of cassette tapes, each of which had been carefully edited and recorded for me by Ron in his home on equipment that was state of the art at that time. He supplied me with full, numbered lists, replete with all the pertinent information about each song. He made hundreds of those tapes for me and we were fast friends until he also had the bad fortune of passing away. To say that Kaye and I have been enjoying those tapes again is a gross understatement. The music dates back to the teens and twenties and runs the gamut from early jazz and Dixieland to big band, swing and beyond. As I pushed the “Play” button on my cassette player, I offered a silent prayer of gratitude to Ron’s spirit for his indefatigable efforts on my behalf. I often wondered what happened to his record collection when he died. These days, I dare say not one out of a hundred of you even knows what a cassette tape is. I still have many and have the means of converting them to a digital format; but we enjoy listening to them the “old way.” I also have a decent turntable for listening to my many record albums. Yes, I even have an 8-track player. Yup, I’m as old as dirt and darn proud of it. Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

People from near and far enjoy creative dishes, socializing at Thurman’s 57th Jack Wax party By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
ATHOL — Thurman’s 2016 Jack Wax party held recently had several new aspects this year — it accommodated the crowd more efficiently and had a wider variety of appetizing food for its 57th annual edition, attendees and organizers said. “The Jack Wax Party ran very smoothly this year — the weather was great and we had a really good turnout, Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood said, crediting event organizers Kathy and Andy Templeton and the many volunteers who assisted. Kathy Templeton, who works in advance for months to plan and accomplish Thurman’s signature annual event, said the event ran well because she and Andy had three years’ experience of running it. “The traditional long line stretching out the door moved faster because we were ready earlier,” she said, noting that about 190 people were served, and almost $2,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society. Also, guests at this fundraiser were treated to some sumptuous food this year, Templeton continued. The donated entrees included slow-roasted beef sirloin from Oscar’s Smoke House, gourmet free-range turkey from Whitefield’s Farm of Thurman, a maple-glazed boneless ham from Bill’s Restaurant in Warrensburg, gourmet goats’-milk macaroni and cheese from Nettle Meadow Farm, tasty corned beef from Erin Connolly of Warrensburg and tender pork shoulder bought with cash donations. “You just do not see this quality and variety of food at most all fundraisers,” Kathy Templeton said. She prepared and roasted all the meats, including glazing one pork shoulder with maple, and preparing the other Asian style. Templeton also peeled 20 pounds of potatoes to make traditional, hearty mashed potatoes. “It was the real kind made from scratch — none of that box stuff,” she said. Thurman’s sugar houses — Hidden Hollow, Toad Hill, Adirondack Gold and Valley Road maple farms — all donated maple syrup used for the Jack Wax confection, which is maple syrup boiled for hours over snow or shaved ice, a process which gives it a taffy-like consistency. Randy Galusha of Toad Hill Maple Farm bought an industrial-strength snow-making machine this year for the annual benefit party, Templeton said, expressing appreciation. A wide variety of creative side dishes donated by townfolk included red cabbage; garden salads; baked ziti, baked beans, pork chops with sauerkraut and a various desserts including homemade pies, tarts and a fruit platter.
“The food was really great,” Evelyn Wood said. “This year, the local cooks hit the jackpot with some really creative dishes.” Steven Wood boiled down the Jackwax on the town hall’s stove as he has in recent years, and members of Warren County Youth Court helped prepare the confection. Pack 31 Cub Scouts served Jack Wax and waited on tables, said Evelyn Wood, who worked alongside them. “The Cubs were so helpful and as cute as can be,” she said. “The seniors particularly enjoyed engaging with the kids — it was a lot of fun.” People waiting to be seated listened to the traditional mountain music of Hoddy Ovitt and the Warren County Ramblers — and their down-home music was well appreciated by the crowd. Town Board member Gail Seaman was among the volunteers serving in the buffet line
as well as delivering prepared meals to home-bound residents. Councilman Jay Youngblood helped with setup and preparations. Board member Susan Shepler also was involved with the event. Youth court teens helped with cleanup chores, along with other volunteers. The Templetons spent the two following days cleaning up the town hall, particularly the kitchen. Kathy Templeton said that people attending had a good time. “People from all over town enjoyed not only the hearty food, but sharing conversations, greeting neighbors they hadn’t seen for a while —or making new friends.” Erin Connolly (right) and other volunteers serve up some savory food during the recent Jack Wax Party which raised about $2,000 for the American Cancer Society. At this 57th annual edition of the event, diners enjoyed spirited conversations, hearty food and live mountain music.

One Hundred Years Ago – April, 1916 Thief on the run James A. Young, former National Express agent in Warrensburgh, who embezzled $1,700 from his company while agent at St. John’s, Canada and was arrested a few weeks ago in a country town in Indiana, when arraigned recently pleaded guilty and was sent to prison for one year. Because he made a clean breast of his wrongdoing and had previously had a good record, he was let off with the minimum sentence. Poker playing is alleged to have been the cause of his downfall. His family lived in Saratoga while he was on the run and was ignorant of his whereabouts.
Farmer Bill nostalgia Bill Turner was a farmer, he labored all his life. He didn’t have no schoolin’ and neither did his wife. But Bill was built for business and made the wheels go round, and left a healthy fortune when they put him underground. He was always taking chances, paid a hundred for a bull. His neighbors called him crazy, but he left a stable full of cows that broke the record, making butter by the top, as Bill had his picture printed in the Squeedunk Weekly Sun. He had newfangled notions of making farming pay. He even bought a fool machine to help him load his hay. His neighbors fairly snorted when they saw the bicomin’ thing; said Bill would never make it work. It wasn’t worth a ding. Bill didn’t say a single word, an’ didn’t care a darn ‘bout what they said, fer slick as grease, his hay went to the barn an hour before a thunder storm came sailin’ out that way and caught the neighbors in a pinch and spoiled their new mown hay. Bill’s neighbors put their milk in cans, and set ‘em in a tank, Bill skimmed his milk with a machine and turned it with a crank. Smith chops his firewood with an ax. Bill used some gasoline and saws a hundred cords a day with another blame machine. Today Bill’s wife rides in a car and dresses up in silk. Smith’s wife rides in a wagon and keeps on skimming milk.

Bolton farmer dies Selah Fuller, 82, died at his home in West Bolton, where he was born on Feb. 4, 1834 and where he passed the entire period of his life. Death was caused by the wearing out of his body, there being no organic disease. He is survived by two sons, William and Lewis Fuller, one daughter, Mrs. John Pratt, five grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. He was a kind friend and neighbor. Burial was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.
Automobiles are hazards Mark Brown, 70, was knocked down by an automobile as he was crossing Main Street, Warrensburgh to the post office. He was knocked unconscious and suffered a slight concussion of the brain, together with several bruises about the body. His condition was considered as grave but the next morning he was much improved and doctors felt that he would recover. Mr. Brown is the father of Mrs. Gilbert Weaver of Glens Falls. The machine that struck Mr. Brown was owned and driven by F. McAlley of Chestertown. A Ford machine ran into a fence on the Thurman Road about two miles from the business center of Warrensburgh. The car’s windshield was broken and its four inmates were cut about the face and hands by the shower of glass but were not otherwise hurt. A similar accident took place on the Chesterroad near Tripp’s Lake where a machine collided with a fence.

“I think this election being so unusual makes me realize how politicians truly are, and that we have to fully analyze each candidate to see who might be best suited to run our country. That is one of the many reasons why I’m trying to go to every rally I can. Linell Pike, 62, a nurse from Manchester, Vermont, attended the event, though the Vermont primary is over. “I’m just confirming he’s the right guy,” she said. Although she said she’s been following his campaign, she heard some new things Monday night. “He said we are all given talents. We all need to use our God-given talents to make America better. I didn’t realize he was so spiritual like that. They haven’t emphasized that too much in the last few months on TV.”

three votes each will be awarded, totaling 81. An additional 14 votes will go to the winner of popular vote. “Most likely the 14 will go to Trump,” said Stallmer. “If you can develop pockets of support, you could get three in each congressional district.” The three votes are further broken down and involve some math. If a candidate gets more than 50 percent in a district, they get all three. Two candidates could still split those three, earning one or two, depending upon the outcome. “That’s why we are seeing the attention we haven’t seen in decades. This contest isn’t decided,” he said.

people at the Cruz rally just looked happy to be there.” Guests waited for entrance to the City Center for about an hour and it was relatively quiet. Signs were prohibited. Once inside, people took their seats and waited, with little movement around the room. Music pumped into the room was not especially patriotic or inspiring. When Fox News personality Sean Hannity took to the microphone, he engaged the crowd in a brief tongue-in-cheek conversation concerning “liberals” and their ability to blame former President George W. Bush for all of America’s problems. Once the Ohio governor was introduced, he quickly got to his message. It’s that positive attitude and experience that had earned the support of Steve Stallmer, publicist for Chestertown-based marijuana facility Etain and previous 113th District state Assembly seat candidate. “I plan to vote for him next week. I think he’d make a fantastic president,” said Stallmer. “I didn’t need to be convinced.” Because he’s followed the campaign, he didn’t hear anything new, but hoped others who are still deciding listened to the message. “Hopefully, people were impressed,” he said. “(Kasich) has a positive mentality. He’s not using division, fear or anger to get votes.” The change in how New York’s delegates are awarded and recent poll results, were more cause for positivity, said Stallmer. “We always get to vote, but this year, it will make a difference,” he said. Republicans will award a total of 95 delegates. From the 27 congressional districts,
Stallmer’s reasons for support, noting Kasich’s work on the House Armed Services Committee helping form his foreign policies, economic knowledge from his inclusion on the House Budget Committee and executive experience as the Ohio governor, were matched by Mark Wescott, former Queensbury-at-Large Supervisor in Warren County. His record of cutting taxes and creating jobs were at the top of Westcott’s list. “This job requires working with the other party. He’s he the only one with a record of doing that.” He’ll be voting for Kasich next week. “The polls I’ve read, it’s not promising for the two front-runners. I definitely feel Kasich is the best candidate for president. I welcome a contested convention,” he said. “The convention is designed to produce the best candidate for the general election. That candidate is John Kasich.” Recently appointed Warren County GOP committee member Chris Aiken, of Chestertown, was in attendance Monday and while he also feels Kasich is the most qualified, his vote will be going to Cruz. “I think Kasich is actually the most qualified. I just don’t know if he can get over the establishment hurdle,” he said. “I know what I’d love to see. I’m a pretty staunch conservative. I think Kasich is a solid guy. He’s impressive if you believe the record,” he said. He called Kasich’s message “heartfelt, but I don’t know if I’m going to have his sign on my lawn.”

ists, there will be budgetary pressure.” The state’s increase in foundation aid, Carstensen said, would not effect North Warren as this particular stipend is subject to various formulas which don’t favor North Warren’s per-pupil aid this year. North Warren has managed to stay within the tax cap, however — the district’s 2016-17 budget calls for a tax levy increase of 0.64 percent over the 2015-16 levy of $8.86 million. In Lake George, those foundation aid formulas actually subtract from the amount of money received last year, Lake George Central superintendent Patrick Dee said. Many school districts have had portions of their GEA reductions restored over the last several years, Dee added, and Lake George had already received about $110,000 in such restoration payments. North Warren was one of the very few districts in the region to have zero restoration in prior years. The GEA take-backs over the past seven years subtracted about $3 million from the Warrensburg Central School District’s budget over the past seven years, estimated district Business Manager Cynthia Turcotte, noting it would have been far more if it weren’t for the restoration aid received in recent years. She added that about $40,000 in GEA restoration aid is expected this year, and the increase in foundation aid is expected to yield about $60,000 for Warrensburg in 2016-17. Additionally, an increase in the state’s building aid is expected to yield more than $100,000 towards bond payments underwriting projects to replace the elementary school roof and a similar undertaking at the high school. Turcotte said that looking forward, the pressure to stay within the state’s tax cap despite increasing expenses, means the budgetary squeeze will continue. “It will always be a tough planning process,” she said, noting the state should be ramping up financial aid to help school districts keep up the quality of education they customarily provide. “If we continue to get increases in state aid, we will be okay.” She added that Warrensburg Central is now in a good position financially, as it now has a tentative 201617 budget with a zero percent tax levy increase, and is continuing its record of recent years to meet state dictates without cuts in teaching positions or educational programs. Dee offered a similar thought, noting that perpupil foundation aid should be reformulated to more appropriately fund schools in rural areas. “Going forward, it’s questionable what is going to happen with per-pupil aid which really affects schools in the Adirondacks — and public advocacy is going to be key,” he said. “ I just hope the governor and legislature work closer together to appropriately fund education.”

The judges said DeMola’s writing style and attention to detail stole the show. “Pete was easily the winner of the writer of the year competition,” the judges wrote. NYPA President David Tyler, who helped distribute the awards during the conference, said “NYPA represents more than 700 newspapers across the state and this year’s contest included thousands of entries in dozens of categories.” “To be singled out as the writer of the year is a tremendous accomplishment and the readers of Sun Community News are lucky to regularly read Pete’s work,” Tyler said. “He is obviously an accomplished journalist and a skilled writer.” Following the conference, which took place April 8-9 at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs, DeMola said he was honored to be recognized by the New York Press Association.

“Sun Community News is a great place to work. Without the support of my colleagues, this wouldn’t have been possible,” DeMola said. Sun Community News Publisher Dan Alexander said DeMola brings a skill set and ethic to the organization that is not easy to find. “We’ve known for some time that we had an extremely talented writer on The Sun team,” Alexander said. “His work ethic, strong personal drive and inquisitive nature are talents that make for an excellent reporter and Pete certainly embodies what every newspaper looks for in a reporter.” “Pete is a rare talent that we are honored to have writing for Sun Community Newspapers,” Alexander said. Sun Community News General Manager DJ Alexander echoed his father’s statements. “We’re so proud to have Pete recognized as the best writer in the state of New York, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of such a prestigious award,” DJ Alex-

ander said. “Pete’s name is always spoken with respect among local business people and colleagues. He has such talent and dedication to the job and profession of journalism. We are fortunate to have him writing for our communities,” the younger Alexander said. According to promotional information on the contest, NYPA members have competed in a statewide annual better newspaper contest for nearly a century. The contest is designed to measure papers of similar size against one another in categories such as news, photography, and advertising. Approximately 4,000 entries are received each year. NYPA Executive Director Michelle Rea said in a release, “The contest provides an opportunity to display the powerful, impactful work being done by community newspapers.” A Syracuse native, DeMola is now an editor based in Essex County, New York.
Following his graduation from Syracuse University in 2005, DeMola traveled to China, where he spent five years living in Beijing honing his craft at a series of new media start-ups and state-run media outlets. Stints in Guilin, Hong Kong and Korea followed. His writings on music, culture and current affairs from across East Asia have appeared in numerous publications while some of his creative campaigns, including the one that brought Record Store Day to Mainland China in April 2013, have received substantial media attention. Since returning to live full-time in the United States in 2013, Pete has been reporting on some of the most critical issues facing the Adirondack Park, including economic development and the effect state policies have on rural, local governments. DeMola joined the editorial team at Sun Community News in December of 2013.

Burghers cruising through first stretch of 2016 season By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — The Burgher baseball team is charting a new course — compiling one of the best season opening records in years, after winning their first four games of the season. Tuesday April 12, they cruised past the talented HadleyLuzerne team 20-4 despite a close differential in hits — 10 for Warrensburg versus nine for the Eagles. “We just capitalized on our hits — we pounded them out with runners in scoring position,” coach Rex Reynolds said, “and our players kept Hadley-Luzerne at bay with stellar defense.” It was the second time in five days they’d beat the Eagles, an opportunity provided by the head-scratching, unprecedented 2016 Adirondack League schedule of back-to-back games with the same opponent. Tuesday, Warrensburg picked up two tuns in the second inning and three in the third — and then the onslaught began, with the Burghers’ offense erupting for 12 runs despite two outs already on the scoreboard. The string of runs began with freshman Evan MacDuff getting hit in his helmet with an errant pitch. Highlights of this inning include senior catcher Brady Rounds ripping a double. On the mound was backup pitcher Joe Turner — a junior who was the pre-season dark-horse pitcher in the Burgher
lineup — demonstrating his keen defensive skills and earning respect with local sports fans. “Despite only three strikeouts, Joe was very efficient on the mound,” Reynolds said, noting that Kelly played a complete game. “It’s a testament to our team’s defense as well. Demonstrating such defensive determination was sophomore rookie right-fielder John Kelly, who executed a running, reaching catch; nabbing a double play and shutting down an inning of scoring by the Eagles. “That amazing catch was a huge deal for us,” Reynolds said. In another play, sophomore third baseman Garry Ross fielded a ground ball and threw it to sophomore Zach Smith at first for an out, and Smith fired the ball to Rounds behind the plate to nail a runner breaking from third to home, for an inning-ending double play which stopped a scoring run by Luzerne. Standout athlete Jake Nemec was 2 for 4 at bat with three runs scored and three RBIs, Kyle Boland was 2 for 4 with three runs, and MacDuff was two for three with two runs and an RBI. For the Eagles, Ryan Beaury was three for 4, scoring two runs, and Joshua Kipp was two for three with a run, and pitcher Jesse DeMarsh was 2 for 4 and scored a run. In the Burghers’ April 8 game against the Eagles, top pitcher Jake Nemec executed nine strikeouts and scattered four hits, for his team to win 4-0. “Nemec delivered all we needed,” Reynolds said.
In this game, Mark Monthony garnered two RBIs and a run. For the Eagles, pitcher Scott Broekhuizen was 2 for 3, smashing a double down the left field line. The Burghers’ two prior games of 2016 were a 7-6 win over perennially strong North Warren and a 9-1 win over Johnsburg. Reynolds said that he was pleased how his team had progressed so well in their first two weeks, particularly how the players had developed considerable chemistry. “They are gelling quicker than other teams I’ve had in the past,” he said, surmising that it could be due to practicing outside earlier than prior years this decade. “The players have invested a lot of work into their game, and they have great camaraderie not only on the field, but in the school hallways and classrooms — they have shared sacrifices and common goals,” he added. Following their repeat game against North Warren on April 13 and Salem the following day, the Burghers go to Corinth on Friday April 15, then compete against Fort Plain at home Saturday April 16. Fort Plain is mentored by the legendary Craig “Wild Thing” Phillips, who has won over 750 baseball games over his 40 years of coaching. Reynolds said he was looking forward to the non-league game, since the Burghers are 0-10 against the Hilltoppers to date. “This is the year we knock them off,” he predicted.
