Wbg’s sale to have fun zone, train access

This Week WARRENSBURG

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ A select number of the many thousands of families visiting Warrensburg for the WorldÕ s Largest Garage Sale in early October will now be able to avoid the substantial traffic jams accompanying the legendary annual event.

In addition, all those attending will now be able to enjoy activities beyond bargain-hunting.

These two developments are first-ever aspects of the sale — set for Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 Ñ which has earned national notoriety.

The Saratoga-North Creek Railway has teamed up with the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce to bring people into town for the great sale, avoiding both the typical hour-long waits in traffic and parking problems, Chamber President Candice Healy said this week.

The train service, offered both days, leaves the Saratoga Springs train station at 10 a.m. and is to arrive at Thurman Station at 11:21 a.m. A free shuttle bus departs minutes later to take the passengers to Warrensburg, for an arrival at the town recreation field at 11:30 a.m., with shuttle busses circulating through the hamlet to a dozen or more drop-off points.

WCS creates Dean of Students post; teacher Bonni Roth takes on the duties

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ The local board of education has created a new position at Warrensburg High School with key administrative responsibilities — yet avoiding paying a salary that administrators typically command.

Adirondack Balloon Festival to attract thousands this weekend

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com QUEENSBURY — Over four decades, the Adirondack Balloon Festival has earned an international reputation as the premier family-oriented event of its kind.

The 42nd annual edition of the balloon festival extends from Thursday Sept. 18 through Sunday Sept. 21.

At other balloon events, spectators are routinely roped off from the colorful hot-air balloons Ñ but at the Adirondack festival, spectators can often participate, getting up close enough to help a pilot and their crew launch a craft.

And for 41 years, there’s been no admission charge.

It’s for these reasons that citizens of northern New York, as well as from around the world, have embraced the Adirondack Balloon Festival with such enthusiasm.

These aspects have also prompted a strong bond between the organizers, the pilots and spectators — prompting some of the top balloonists in the nation to participate in the event, year after year, organizer Mark Donahue said this week. Ò Our festival is truly unique Ñ thereÕ s not another event like it in the world,Ó he said.

Most events are scheduled at the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury. The traditional Thursday kick-

off launch of 20-plus balloons in the intimate setting is held in Crandall Park in Glens Falls, where a concluding mass launch occurs on Sunday afternoon on the same site.

Highlights also include a Ò MoonglowÓ mass balloon lightup event at 8 p.m. Saturday, as well as a balloon-themed block party Thursday evening in historic downtown Glens Falls, featuring live entertainment, childrenÕ s activities and a classic car show.

Fancifully shaped craft featured

The festival kicks off at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Crandall Park in Glens Falls with a performance by the beloved country-rock group Stony Creek Band, and the liftoff of about 20 balloons, weather permitting.

On Friday, the festival moves to the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury, where gates open at 3 p.m. with aircraft displays, an extensive craft fair, vendors, and childrenÕ s activities including a rock climbing wall and bounce houses. At 5 p.m. and thereafter, a launch of 80+ balloons features specially-shaped editions including “Darth Vader” of Star Wars fame.

On Saturday and Sunday at the airport, activities and breakfast begin at 5 a.m. Up to 100 balloons lift off at about 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. both days Vendors open up early and continue all day.

As of Sept. 16, however, the tickets for Saturday’s jaunt were sold out — but several dozen tickets for Sunday’s trip remained available.

Train tickets are purchased at www.sncrr. com.

Sale features new ‘Fun Zone’ for families

The great sale will also feature a new Family Fun Zone which is to provide free activi-

All flights are weather permitting.

The airport liftoffs are so eagerly anticipated that they annually prompt people to get out of bed at 4 a.m. or earlier to get to the airport in time to beat the crowds.

Sunday features a mass ascension of balloons at 6:30 a.m., a tribute to Walter Grishkot, the festivalÕ s founder. Church services are to be held at 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.

The festival moves back to Crandall Park Sunday afternoon, with the Jonathan Newell Band performing from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., when about 20 balloonists will launch their craft, concluding the festival.

Spectators are urged to bring their cameras because there are plenty of dramatic photo opportunities — but dogs are barred.

For the activities occurring at the airport, VIP parking is available, conveniently located in front of the airport terminal. For details, see: www.adirondackballoonfest.org.

Donahue said the ambiance of the festival is inspirational, and he annually is touched by how people embrace it with such joy.

“The festival has a spirit of awe and adventure that brings out the kids in all of us,Ó he said. Ò I canÕ t tell you how many adults are so excited about the festival each year, let alone the children.Ó

ties for children at the town recreation field, Healy said.

The Warrensburg Chamber is now seeking enterprises, both non-profit and otherwise, to present games and activities at no charge to the public. As of Sept. 17, face painting, a caricature artist and musical entertainment has been signed up, she said, noting that the Chamber might also be hosting food vendors at the Fun Zone.

Also, the New York Army National Guard

will be on site with their NASCAR interactive apparatus, which simulates a tire-changing experience during a race.

“Our Fun Zone will be providing a place for families to take a break from shopping and enjoy some time with their kids,” Healy said.

People or organizations interested in providing activities, entertainment or food are encouraged to call the Chamber office at 6232161.

Music festival

Continued from page 1 Festival Production Manager Dave Ehmann of Improv Records said the event would be a fun memorable party, bringing enthusiasts of leading-edge rock Ô n roll and country music to the village.

An additional evening of hip-hop and rap music has been slated for Friday evening.

Scheduled to perform at this music festival Saturday are the renowned Robert Randolph & the Family Band whose leader has won acclaim for his Hendrixlike riffs on the pedal steel guitar; Paranoid Social Club, a punk-pop trio that’s achieved a cult status following two international hits; the famed NRBQ band that has riveted audiences with its repertoire of blues, rock and swing; the twangrock alt-band North & South Dakotas; as well as Wild

Adriatic, the Capital Region rockers that have earned national fame.

Slated to perform at the fest Sunday are: the supergroup New Riders of the Purple Sage that once included members of the Grateful Dead and have been called Ò the cosmic cowboys of country rock; the Claire Lynch Band whose namesake was awarded Female Vocalist of the Year three times and has been nominated for two Grammys; Rosco Bandana, a southern band that blends country blues and folk; the Boston band Girls Guns & Glory which has gained thousands of fans during its recent international tours; plus area favorites The Stony Creek Band. A schedule of concerts and tickets can be viewed at www.festivalforthelake.com.

A portion of all proceeds of the weekendÕ s events are to go towards enhancing the ecological health of Lake George. The weekend is a ex-

pansion of last year ’s Festival for the Lake which raised more than $22,000 for the protection of Lake George’s water quality.

V.I.P. seating is available for $10 per day additional.

“Super V.I.P.” tickets” for $100 allow entry to the backstage hospitality tent with food and drinks, presumably with the opportunity to meet and greet performers. $50 of this premium charge goes towards thwarting invasive species in Lake George and qualifies as a charitable deduction.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said Tuesday he has high expectations for the event. Ò Take home a wealth of memories and know that you’ve also helped to preserve our treasured Queen of AmericaÕ s Lakes,Ó he said.

Adirondack Journal - 5

Additional Friday hip-hop concert set

Friday nightÕ s concert, set for 7 p.m., features the Cleveland group Bone Thugs Ô n Harmony, which has sold 40 million records and won a Grammy in the 1990s. Advance tickets for this event are available for $25 at EventBrite.com. V.I.P tickets are $45, and thereÕ s an optional $80 extra for a special access, including a meetup with the band.

Ehmann said he had high expectations for the weekend, and he was aiming at attracting a crowd of at least 1,500 on Friday and Sunday, and 2,500 on Saturday. Ò I wanted to bring the finest acts I could to Lake George now that the new festival space is open,” he said.

True character shown in Ti

I

September 20, 2014

t is often said that true character is not revealed until a time of crisis.

This can be true of individuals, but it can also be true of entire communities. It has been shown time and again throughout the North Country as communities band together in times of hardship to take care of each other.

The case of St. Mary’s School is the most recent example of this. In the late evening hours of Sept. 5, a teacher who was working late to help enhance the educational experience of her class heard noises and investigated, finding a hallway full of smoke. Thankfully, the teacher was able to escape and call for help, but the ensuing fire caused massive damage inside the 59-year-old Catholic elementary and middle school.

The concern for the future of the school was immediate. Among the tears and sorrow for loss was a determination to resume the education of the 100-plus students who call St. Mary’s home. Within hours, Father Kevin McEwan said the fire would not mean the end of St. Mary’s. Into the early morning hours of Sept. 6, hundreds of people lined the streets offering not only their well wishes to the members of the staff who also stood and watched as events unfolded, but their services to make things right.

Character was shown that night, as fire departments from throughout the region arrived on scene to attempt to save the building. Several members of the local departments, which included Ticonderoga, Hague, Chilson, Putnam, Crown Point and Port Henry among others, had worn the St. MaryÕ s uniform and shield. There were tears shed, but there were also hands offered the next day to start the cleanup process. Impressive considering these fire fighters had spent two straight nights responding to emergency calls that lasted well into the morning hours. They all deserve commendation for the work they did, all as volunteers in their communities.

More character was shown by the members of the St. MaryÕ s staff, who quickly went to work determined to get their students back to school. As it has been said several times, the fact that students were back to school on Monday, Sept. 15, in their new homes at St. Mary’s Church and the Ticonderoga First United Methodist Church, is nothing short of a miracle. Teachers and community members worked tirelessly to make sure classrooms were painted, chairs were organized and lessons were ready to be given and received. There is no price tag that could be put on the amount of extra work these people did. Their reward came in the faces of students excited to return to school and reunite with teachers and classmates. Their own smiles and determination throughout the trying ordeal was a source of strength for community members.

The community showed an outpouring of support to the school, whether it came from Ticonderoga Central School, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, many of the local businesses or individuals determined to help bring St. Mary’s back. When students returned to school, they had everything they could need and then some, as community members donated supplies to replace those the youth had brought in for their original first day of school two days prior to the fire. The halls of the First United Methodist Church were filled with books for all ages as people donated to help rebuild a library that was taken out by fire. Local contractors helped to build and wire the new school rooms to meet the needs of the teachers. An online fundraising page was set up which has raised over $17,000 to date.

All rallied around this school which was the victim of what has been deemed a suspicious fire. Police continue to investigate the matter, and we hope people will give them the space and time they need.

We need to remember that in the real world, crime analysis and investigation does not get wrapped up in one hour prime time television show segments. If anything, we want the authorities working as deliberately as they can to ensure the outcome they come to leads to the proper conclusions and, if needed, justice.

For the North Country, though, this is nothing new. Communities rally around those who fall on hard times through illness offering benefit events to help families.

The entire North Country rallied after Tropical Storm Irene battered the region, destroying houses and causing massive flooding throughout the region. In the days following the storm, communities banded together to help others clean out the mud that had gone from the riverbeds and into their bedrooms, pick up the pieces of homes carried downstream by the raging waters, and offer food and encouragement to those who were short on both.

Hopefully, events like this will not happen as frequently in the future. But, if they do, it is nice to know we live in a region that has our backs. Ñ Denton Publications Editorial Board

Turning Back the Pages

By Jean Hadden

One Hundred Years Ago – September, 1914 Baby girl killed by train

Little Jane Wellington, 16 months, toddled in front of a southbound D&H train at the Hudson Street crossing in Glens Falls at 8:45 o’clock on the morning of Sept. 16, 1914 and was struck by the locomotive and instantly killed.

Her mother, Mrs. Earl Wellington, who followed the child not more than a minute after the little one left her home nearby, reached the crossing just in time to see the mangled body of her darling hurled through the air, a lifeless mass of mangled flesh and bone and heard the horrid thud as the precious body struck the ground.

Mrs. Wellington rushed to the lifeless form crying, Ò My baby is killed! My baby is killed!Ó Neighbors attracted to her cries hurried to the crossing. The train was brought to a stop and the members of the crew did everything they could before proceeding to the station.

Hardly five minutes had elapsed after the accident before Mr. Wellington, who is employed by J.E. Sawyer & Company, was on the scene trying to console the grief-stricken mother. She was hysterical and it was necessary to remove her to the home of her sister, Mrs. Stephenson on Baldwin Avenue. Mr. Wellington took her there in a cab. The couple has one other child, Rhoda, who is but an infant.

No watchman is stationed at the crossing, which is a dangerous one, and this is the second death that has occurred there within two years. On May 25, 1912, Supervisor Frank J. Kelleher, 57, was killed there. (Note – The story of Supervisor Kelleher’s untimely death was told in this column in the May 19, 2012 Adirondack Journal.)

Bringing music to town

A Haynes piano was sold at auction the evening of Sept. 24, 1914 on the porch of the Adirondack Hotel in Warrensburgh. It is a beautiful high grade instrument, brand new, shipped here by the factory, being one of twenty-one taken from a dealer who was unable to meet his obligations. A representative of the factory conducted the sale. (Note – This sale took place directly across the street from todayÕ s Floyd Bennett bandstand.)

Horicon boy makes good

Stealing from his home at the break of dawn, one morning in 1884, Hiram Bennett, then a boy of fourteen, shook the dust of Horicon from his feet and fared forth into the big world beyond, in a quest for fame and fortune.

Last week he came back, not like the prodigal son in rags and tatter, but clothed in fine raiment and accompanied by a wife and two beautiful children. He was warmly welcomed by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jeptha Bennett. Though he has perhaps gained little fame, he has made an honorable place for himself in the city of Albany and holds a lucrative position as head bookkeeper for a construction company in that city.

The boy’s departure from home was due to his extreme distaste for the plodding life of the farm upon which he was reared.

He was ambitious to secure an education and a place in the larger life of a more populous community. He decided to run away and find possible possibilities for himself.

After drifting about the county for two years, where he did not find a bed of roses, he secured employment as a hired man

on a farm using the name of George Waters. It was here that his father finally found him. He refused to return home and his father left him there to his own resources. After a time the boy went to Albany and by his own exertions, secured a fine education by taking a full course in the Albany Business College.

After his marriage several years ago he secured the legal right to the name of George Waters and he is now a prosperous man of affairs and happy that he no longer has to live in Horicon on the farm. He remained on a two week vacation there with his wife and children before they returned to their home in Albany.

Compensation a God sent

Angelo Agro is a laborer employed by the Bradley Construction Company of New York. While working on a building being constructed by his employers, he was struck by a beam and as a result was unable to work for four weeks, suffering from lacerations and contusions of the chest.

As his daily wages were $1.75, Argo received compensation in the amount of $13.46 covering two weeks and all medical attention during the time he was away from work. Under the new law compensation is payable after the first fourteen days following the date of an accident.

Harry Itzikowitz, of New York, operates a die cutting machine in the shop of Herman Lakner. His wages are $1.33 a day. On Aug. 31, 1914 his left index finger was cut off by the machine.

He received immediate medical attention which was continued until the wound was healed. Notice of the injury was sent to the Workman’s Compensation Commission at once and because it was shown that this was a case of exceptional distress, the commission immediately awarded him compensation for forty-six weeks. Just three days after the accident Itzikowitz was given a check for $10.22 covering two weeks compensation and will receive twenty-two more payments of $10.22. Because of the recent cost of living high increase, both gentlemen are very grateful for this new law.

Letters to the Editor

Movies and real life To the Adirondack Journal: In the movie ”Wag the Dog”, the U.S. president’s popularity rating is dropping as fast as his pants (no pun intended) after he is caught in a sexual encounter with an underage ”Firefly Girl.”

In order to repair the damage and to divert attention from the issue of his infidelity, his spin doctors quickly manufacture a phony war with Albania -- because no one knows anything about Albania or Albanians. Sure enough, the Nation unites behind the president in a burst of sudden patriotism and he wins re-election in a landslide.

In the movie ”Election Year 2014”, the U.S. president’s declining popularity rating is dragging down Democrats’ election prospects for the November elections. In order to divert attention from the real issues – amnesty for, and favored treatment of illegal Mexicans, politically-motivated undeserved minimum wage increases for union allies, and handouts to Wall Street such as the so-called ”Jobs Act” -- his spin doctors quickly manufacture a phony war with ISIS. Although no one had ever heard of ISIS a few weeks earlier, the media quickly turns ISIS into a household word for bad guys out to get the U.S. Sure enough, the Nation unites behind the president in a burst of sudden patriotism and his party’s ratings rise as the election nears.

The characters change, but the plot’s always the same.

I guess allÕ s fair in an election year David Safrany Half Moon Bay, Calif.

The Johnsburg Youth Committee (JYC) used its grant to support the Adirondack Teen Leadership and Service program, which promotes leadership skills for high school students. Ò Our regional community life would not be as meaningful without the help CFGMR extends to all the small nonprofits who struggle to bring good things to each community,Ó said Kelly Nessle, acting director of JYC. “We who live here are indeed fortunate to have the opportunity to request help.”

Girls night out set at Runway67

By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG Ñ Wondering whatÕ s trending for fall and winter fashion this year?

The answer awaits at Runway 67 on Sept. 26, when owner and veteran fashion guru Tina Combs presents a girls night out evening at her 3897 Main Street store front. Ò This will be a fun night for the girls,Ó said Combs. Ò We will be talking about what colors are in style this season. The prints, patterns and fabrics that have been seen on the runways in New York.”

Combs will be narrating upcoming looks and demonstrating how to create the perfect outfit. She will be pairing separates in store, to provide attendees with a unique behind-the-scenes view into the dressing rooms of models in all the major fashion capitals.

“We also have some fabulous sweaters in pastels. It used to be only the dark colors in winter and while we do have those as well, the pastels are haute right now.”

Combs will also be providing tips on how to where seasonable fashion trends like the oversized sweater, jeggings and boots. Ò When you are wearing an oversized sweater you need to make sure it fits in your shoulders,” said Combs. “You don’t want to look like you borrowed something from your fatherÕ s closet.Ó The event will be free and open to the public.

Car show to benefit Christmas joy in Stony Creek

By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com STONY CREEK — A weekend car show will help the Stony Creek Fire Department bring smiles to the faces of area children this December.

The department presents their fifth annual Toys for Christmas Car Show Sept. 21 at the town field from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The proceeds from the show will benefit the department’s annual kid’s Christmas party, which will be held in December, according to department member Jim Mansfield.

“We go out and get the toys and have a party at the firehouse that kids come to and they each get a gift,” Mansfield said.

Mansfield said there were several “excellent” giveaways at the car show, along with door prizes and raffles.

“There are a lot of good people that donate to this,” he said.

“We keep getting more and more people here which is great because it all goes right to the kids.Ó The show has averaged anywhere between 40 and 80 vehicles, but Mansfield expects an increase with word that a Jeep club may be showing up for the event.

The registration cost is $10 and the day of the show is $13. For information, contact 696-3121 or Doreen at 696-7226.

Donation sought for Benefit Barn Party Event to aid Skyler Castro

THURMAN — Donations are now being sought for Roy and Jamiee Ross’s eighth annual Benefit Barn Party which has raised thousands of dollars for families of local cancer victims.

Consumer crusader Ralph Nader blasts prevailing U.S. politics as he stumps for Funiciello pete@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS — Dozens of area citizens heard famed consumer crusader and political reformist Ralph Nader castigate the prevailing U.S. political system as he campaigned Sunday Sept. 14 for Congressional candidate Matt Funiciello in Glens Falls.

In a speech to Funiciello’s supporters gathered at the Rare Earth Wine Bar, Nader berated the prevailing two-party political system, accusing it of being manipulated and corrupted by corporate interests. He urged Funiciello’s supporters to take back the reins of government and work towards establishing social and economic justice.

As long as a majority of the public supports issues — like curbing corporate tyranny, establishing single-payer health care, and pursuing environmental health Ñ then it can be done, he said.

Nader: the ‘Majoritarian’ issues matter

The firebrand responsible for government setting standards for automobile safety and consumer protection told Funiciello supporters that while these issues are supported by 70 to 80 percent of U.S. citizens, the nation’s political system has been held captive by merely one percent of the population that has been intent on retaining power and wealth.

He noted that Wal-Mart workers get paid less than they did in 1968, and increasing the federal minimum wage is near universal — it’s even supported by Republicans in Alabama.

“These are ‘majoritarian’ issues,” he said of the populist objectives such as universal health care and wage equity. Ò When you go to where people work and raise their families, we live in the same reality. Right-wingers bleed, too.Ó Nader recalled taking on the auto industry in the early 1960s. His book “Unsafe at Any Speed,” exposed how automotive industry executives ignored safety considerations in pursuit of profits. Publicity over Nader’s consumer-protection efforts sparked Congress’ passage of the 1966 National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, leading to requirements for cars to have seat belts and windshields that didn’t splinter into deadly shards. His later efforts lead to the

founding of a myriad of consumer protection laws and governmental oversight of environmental protection.

Such accomplishments are still possible today, he said.

“We used to whip these industries. Once we knew people were behind the issues, then we let Congress know and they took action.Ó Nader that in his 20s and 30s, a number of his friends were killed in automobile accidents, which prompted his crusade on behalf of the public. Ò I lost a lot of friends. Some were killed, others were turned into paraplegics. It was grisly — decapitations, blood, screams, silence.”

Claiming that Democrats and Republicans maintained a stranglehold over the political system and were virtually indistinguishable, he called contemporary politicians “dittoheads.” Ò TheyÕ re not talking about the real issues, about civic skills and training in schools. TheyÕ re not talking about whatÕ s going on in our communities or contaminated water from fracking.Ó The five-time presidential candidate challenged those at the rally to get fired up and work towards fundamental changes in politics that have lasting, positive consequences.

“We need to free ourselves from the two-party tyranny,” he said.

“You can’t have justice until you break the routine.” he said.

Nader continued that corporate executives have a lust for power — they have no allegiance to the public, no loyalty to the community, he said.

“They control us by building a two-party system that excludes competition,” he said. “It should be illegal.”

Nader later lobbed dozens of verbal grenades at the status quo, during his speech at the Charles Wood Theater: “Eight-hundred people die each week from a lack of health care, 3,200 per month — that’s more than on 9/11.”

He said that 400,000 people per year die from preventable causes. Ò Is this not a kind of institutional terrorism?Ó he asked.

Nader talks about Funiciello’s campaign

Nader said the race to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, was one of the most pivotal in the nation — and that Matt Funiciello, was almost the perfect candidate.

“I call him ‘Democracy’s baker’ — He’s knowledgeable, persuasive, congenial and he shows up. I’ve never seen anyone like Matt.”

Nader commended Funiciello for putting forth concrete ways to improve the upstate economy, including the retention of billions by taxing stock derivatives.

“He believes in single-payer health care, a solution to the present corrupt and bloated system,” Nader said, adding that Funiciello’s positions on local food would revive the upstate economy.

“He gets his wheat from upstate New York and one of his platforms is bringing back family agriculture, thatÕ s the wave Ñ community business as a way to displace multinational corporations.”

By Pete DeMola

Nader, a political independent, cited last week’s poll that showed Funiciello would capture 10 percent of the vote. Elise Stefanik, a Republican, stood at 46 percent while Aaron Woolf, a Democrat, had 33 percent.

The firebrand said it is harder for candidates to attain 10 percent of the vote than reach the 20 percent level.

FunicielloÕ s star is now on the rise, he said, citing Jesse Ventura, the pro-wrestler turned Minnesota Governor who got a boost after each of his debates.

“Matt’s going to go out in those three debates and mop the floor with these people,” Nader predicted, criticizing Stefanik for being allied with the George W. Bush administration, and accusing Woolf of not being a full-time resident of the 21st Congressional District.

Nader deflected when asked about Funiciello possibly acting as an election “spoiler.” Allegations have dogged Nader since the 2000 presidential election in which George W. Bush defeated Al Gore in Florida by 537 votes.

Nader, who ran as a Green candidate in that election, garnered over 97,000 votes. Democratic Party officials continue to blame Nader for GoreÕ s loss.

“I’m worried about the Republican and Democratic candidates taking votes away from Matt,” he said about the spoiler allegations.

Funiciello identifies his objectives

Funiciello told his supporters after he’s elected in November, the next step is to elect 10 more representatives with similar viewpoints.

“Imagine what a block of 50 independent Congresspeople can do,Ó he said.

Funiciello said he became inspired by the Green Party’s action to eschew corporate funding. Ò That ensures only one voice at the table,Ó he said.

Citing an Iroquois principle, Funiciello criticized legislators for their lack of foresight. Ò When you make a decision, make sure youÕ re making a decision for seven generations,Ó he said.

Beth Shropshire, a BOCES staffer from Glens Falls and a Green Party member, said she plans on voting for Funiciello, citing his background and stance on the issues.

“He’s a big social justice advocate,” she said, noting that Funiciello is a local business owner that puts his beliefs into action. “He uses local produce, so he’s aware of issues related to food. He pays his people a living wage, so he supports labor… and he’s done this for years Ñ ThatÕ s integrity.Ó Nader said he supported Funiciello based on his knowledge of the candidateÕ s character and convictions.

“I’m not known for flattery,” Nader said. “You have an exceptional candidate here.Ó

Turnovers crucial in Warrensburg’s gridiron loss to Rensselaer

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Despite a relentless rushing attack, the Warrensburg Football team lost to Rensselaer 31 to 14 Sept. 13 — and two second-half fumbles were primarily to blame, coach Mike Leonbruno said. ”We spend all week in practice protecting the ball Ñ so these fumbles are frustrating,Ó he said. Ò We really should have won considering how tough we played, but we made too many mistakes.Ó Standouts in the game were running back Joey Schuster, who scored an early touchdown with a 35-yard run, and Donnie Stone, who ran for 142 yards despite a suspected leg injury. In the fourth quarter, he scored a touchdown on a 10-yard run capping off the Burgher’s 64-yard drive accomplished in 10 plays. Stone also was key on defense, accomplishing a considerable number of tackles while enduring leg pain.

Another key player defensively was Aidan Szabo, Leonbruno said. Ò Aidan has a Ô nose for the ballÕ Ñ heÕ s very aggressive for a linebacker, which has been unusual for our team,Ó Leonbruno said.

The coach also complimented the Burgher players blocking for Schuster, Stone and the other ball carriers. The efficient blocking cleared the path for the Burger backs who ran 45 times for 233 yards, more than twice the yardage in 50 percent more plays than the Rams.

Warrensburg and Rensselaer were tied 8 to 8 at halftime, but a two-touchdown scoring spree by the Rams gave them a margin they held onto through the rest of the game.

Leonbruno predicted that as his relatively young team gains some more experience, theyÕ ll acquire the mental toughness that they need for avoiding turnovers.

Saturday’s home game against Canajoharie may be the stage on which the Burghers gain the experience and confidence they need to raise their game to the next level, Leonbruno said.

Warrensburg field hockey team savors early-season wins

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — The 2014 Warrensburg High School field hockey team is on a roll, poised to continue the success the team has enjoyed in recent years, according to fans as well as second-year coach Teresa Colvin.

“It’s definitely been a good start to the season,” said Colvin, who took the place of legendary coach Mary ann Bump last year when she retired.

This teamÕ s success has been notable, considering the loss of four veteran All-Star players to graduation: Cregan Callahan, Kerrigan Roth, Aubrey Corriveau and Whitney Markwika.

The 2014 team started out the new season by winning the Burgher Fall Classic tournament, a formidable achievement considering the talented opponents.

The Burghers defeated far-larger South Glens Falls 4-2 in the opening round held Sept. 5, then won over Greenwich 2-1 in the tourney final the following day.

The win in the Fall Classic was a notable achievement for the players, because the Burghers placed last in 2013 — although the team had been loaded with talent and prevailed at the end of the season, well into Sectional play.

The 2013 team enjoyed a 10-7 record overall. Ò This yearÕ s Fall Classic tournament victory was quite a turnaround,Ó Colvin said. Ò To come back this season and win it got the girls pumped for the season ahead.”

In the team’s first league game on Sept. 8, they beat North Warren 3-1, but two days later lost a hard-fought battle with Corinth in a score of 4-2. Ò Corinth is a strong contender,Ó Colvin said this week.

The Burghers split the next two games, defeating Greenwich 4-2 on Sept. 12, then losing

Followed by several more victories, the tourney championship started off a promising season for the Burghers.

to Hoosick Falls 3-0 on Sept. 15. Ò Hoosick Falls is team to beat this season,Ó Colvin said, noting that they won the Section II Class C championship as well as the Adirondack League in 2013. They beat Warrensburg in the Section II quarterfinals in a come-frombehind 2-1 win.

Colvin said that BurgherÕ s success this year

rival Corinth.

Turner — a veteran athlete with battle-proven reflexes and instincts — returns to the goalie position, having won a number of her awards for her achievements in past years.

“Liz Turner is definitely a force in the cage,” Colvin said, noting that all the Seniors are providing leadership for this year’s team.

Others that have been playing well in competition so far in 2014, Colvin said, include Baylee Smith, a returning Junior, whoÕ s been scoring one goal per game on the average.

Standouts also include Junior Erin Langworthy, one of three co-captains, who is stationed at center midfield, directing the play.

Also key to the teamÕ s success is Maddie Sheridan, Colvin said, noting that the returning Sophomore runs the Burghers’ 2014 defense. Ò Maddie makes great drives Ñ she carries the ball downfield, making the transition into offense happen,” she said.

Maddie is joined by three other Sophomores.

The rookies include Riley Fisk, who has gained speed and is accomplishing a lot for the team, the coach said.

“Riley has stepped up big-time this year,” Colvin said.

Riley is joined by Heather Wood, who has already proven her worth on the team, scoring three goals in the initial games of the season, Colvin said. Ò Heather had a real Ô noseÕ for the goal,Ó she said.

The strength of the underclass roster indicates that upcoming years are likely to be successful due to strong rosters of talented players, Colvin said.

“This year, we’ve got a great group of kids,” Colvin said. “They are a pleasure to coach — theyÕ ll do anything you ask of them.Ó The BurghersÕ next game, against Salem High, is scheduled for Saturday on the Schuylerville High School Field Ñ time yet to be determined.
