Legendary Lake George coach Cathy Stanilka to be honored By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Considered by many to be the winningest volleyball coach ever in New York State, Lake George’s Cathy Stanilka is retiring at the end of this season — and she’ll be honored next week both with on-court recognition and a evening reception celebrating her career achievements. Lake George High School athletes, alumni, parents, as well as area coaches, friends, and citizens are all invited to Cathy Stanilka’s retirement celebration Friday Oct. 23. After coaching volleyball at Lake George for
40 years — tallying 667 wins as of Oct. 12 — she will be retiring from coaching the sport at the conclusion of this year’s season. “This is an opportunity to honor the dedication and commitment that Coach Stanilka has shown Lake George athletes, the sport of volleyball, and the Lake George athletic program,” school district publicist Elizabeth Wright said this week about Stenilka’s tenure which includes serving as Lake George School District’s Athletic Director from 2004 to 2010, during a time when the sports programs not only excelled but increased in scope. Stanilka is to be honored at the conclusion of Lake George High School’s varsity volleyball match Oct. 23 against Fort Edward — to begin
Meet the Candidates Night set for Thurman Staff Report
johng@suncommunitynews.com
ATHOL — A Meet the Candidates Night has been planned for 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21 to introduce those seeking positions in the town of Thurman government to the public. This non-partisan event
is to be moderated by Thom Randall, founder of the Adirondack Journal and writer for Sun Community News. Karen Smith, president of the North Warren Chamber of Commerce, will serve as host, co-moderator and timekeeper. The format is as follows: Beginning at 6:45 p.m., citizens can obtain sanctioned 3”x5” cards from the event moderators, on which they can write questions, one per card, to be directed to the town board or supervisor candidates as follows: For the town board position, only questions directed to all candidates will be accepted. For the town supervisor post, audience mem-
bers may direct questions to either both candidates, or to one specific candidate. The use of sanctioned cards only is to provide a more diverse set of questions from a greater number of citizens, rather than a few dominating the course of the discussions. The sanctioned cards bearing questions should indicate to which office the question is directed, and if for the supervisor post, whether the inquiry is addressed to both candidates, or to which one. The questions will be gathered from the audience at 7:30 p.m. and then will be reviewed, edited if neccessary and collated. >> Story Continued | pg. PB
between 5:45 and 6:30 p.m. in the Lake George High School gym. The Junior Varsity game is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. The retirement reception will follow at about 8 p.m. in the Adirondack Pub & Brewery, located at 33 Canada St. in Lake George Village. A $10 fee for refreshments and food will be charged at the door.
Routinely champions Year after year, Stanilka — honored as regional Coach of the Year no less than six times — has led teams to dozens of championships over her last 40 years mentoring volleyball and softball. >> Story Continued | pg. 10
Strategic report cites ways to boost region’s economy, quality of life Plan for sustainability issued By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
QUEENSBURY — After two-and-a-half years of public meetings and consultations with community leaders and planning experts, the Adirondack Gateway Council has released a game-plan for boosting the region’s sustainability, economic growth, and quality of life. Adirondack Gateway Council CEO Ed Bartholomew distributed copies of the strategic report, titled “Pathways to Progress,” to Warren County Supervisors last week. The report calls for area municipalities, governmental and non-profit agencies, businesses and foundations to collaborate and advance efforts to build more affordable housing, develop or renovate public
infrastructure, and to establish more recreational assets including hiking trails and bikeways. The strategic report also proposes improving public transportation, helping businesses connect with markets for their products and services, redeveloping of brownfields, and extending broadband access and cell phone coverage, particularly in rural areas. The document also calls for boosting agriculture in the region, through programs that encourage millenials to pursue careers in farming, and for connecting farmers with markets for their produce. The Adirondack Gateway Council is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote a more sustainable and economically viable future for Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties. >> Story Continued | pg. 2

Assistance to commerce, industry In boosting the area economy, the Council called for establishing incentives for manufacturers using locally sourced wood, stone, ceramics and fibers, providing support for medical device manufacturers, recruiting technology firms companies that now use local materials and services, to welcome new warehousing enterprises and emerging industries — and to promote the use of rail freight transportation. Also, public-private partnerships should focus on incubating new health care, hospitality and information technology enterprises.
Attracting, arming the new generation The Gateway Council’s report also cites a need to both attract and retain an educated, adaptable workforce with specialized skills. This effort includes recruiting millenials, who are seeking a healthy and affordable lifestyle and expect a robust public transportation system as well as safe bike routes — as automobile ownership has dropped dramatically with the millenial generation. This objective also means working with local schools to nurture more “knowledge workers,” as well as those versed in specialized technology skills including computer-driven machine tools. To achieve this latter aim, the report suggests that an International Baccalaureate high school diploma program be established in the southern Adirondacks to prepare students for high-technology careers locally. Bartholomew cited the success that Ballston Spa schools have had with their Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School program — that prepares students for careers in renewable energy, and advanced technology including

semi-conductor manufacturing — as well as Niskayuna High’s Nanoscale Science and Engineering program. Also, the Council proposed developing telecommuting centers, and developing specific job training programs that meet the needs of rural workers.
Health care a focus of strategic report The report also suggests assisting further collaboration between Glens Falls Hospital and Hudson Headwaters Health Network, noting the Network’s remarkable expansion in recent years. “Hudson Headwaters is continuing to stretch their presence across the North Country,” Bartholomew said tot he county Supervisors, noting that HHHN, based in Queensbury and Warrensburg, is nowbuilding a $6 million health center in Champlain, NY. “Hudson Headwaters’ expansion is a very positive move — Dr. Rugge has a brilliant mind; he’s always five steps ahead of anyone else,” Bartholomew continued. “Hudson Headwaters is bringing better and greater primary care to upstate NY, and it’s important that they are partnering with Glens Falls Hospital.” Together, HHHN and Glens Falls Hospital employ about 3,400 workers.
Local rural resources, assets are vital The Gateway Council’s strategy also proposes to attract outfitters and manufacturers that reinforce the “Adirondack image,” to pursue state and federal incentives that aid existing local businesses, and to build an Adirondack “green energy” brand focusing on solar, wind, geothermal, wood and other biomass sources, as well as to expand sewer infrastructure. Noting that the region’s family farms are decreasing and access to fresh, local food could be improved, the Council suggests promoting regional Farm-to-School programs, founding new farmers’ markets, prompting overseas export of agricultural products, supporting SUNY Adirondacks’ programs in Sustainable Agriculture and Agri-business, promoting agri-tourism in the region, and partnering retiring farmers with next-generation farmers so they may prosper. To boost wellness and enhance the quality of life, the strategy report calls for extending bicycle paths into the Adirondack Park to provide a link with other bikeways in the state; expanding and improving local parks; connecting bike paths and walkways; and developing new art and heritage trails.
Housing needs a growing concern Noting a lack of affordable housing in the southern Adirondacks, the report calls for expanding emergency, transitional and supportive housing options, attracting public investment for affordable apartments and residences in rural and urbancore areas; as well as accommodating the homeless and promoting independent living. The document notes that there are few housing projects despite a prevalence of lowincome households that have high housing and utility costs, as well as burdensome taxes.

Toxic questions
side from the fame, money, power and perks you have to wonder why anyone would run for a national political office. Sadly it must be an addiction to one of the above mentioned vices or perhaps it’s the allure of the magnitude of the challenge that attracts. Either way you have to wonder if people who seek these offices really know what they are getting into. Senator Clinton obviously sees something that is worth all the pain and aggravation she’s gone through over the years through her husband’s career and now her own. Everyday seems to present another attack on her candidacy and to her personally. We really have to wonder why these people put themselves and their families through this process. Dr. Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon who has thrown his hat into the presidential ring, was recently asked a straight forward question: What would he have done if he were standing in the classroom two weeks ago in Oregon when a gunman was shooting and killing innocent students. Carson answered that he would have encouraged other students to join him in rushing the gunman instead of waiting for the inevitable. Carson, as you may know, has been ripped for insulting the students with such a ridiculous idea. But when you think about his answer and think about the process these candidates put themselves through it’s really an answer very fitting the character of a person who chooses to be a leader. These people put themselves at great risk, accepting tasks that others shy away from, be it fear of failure, lack of confidence or any one of a number of other character flaws. On September 11th in 2001 a group of airline passengers made a similar fateful decision when they realized their plane was to be used as a missile in our nation’s capital. As leaders they recognized their only hope was to either take back control of the plane or die saving countless others on the ground from certain death. We recognize those brave souls of Flight 93 as true heroes for their actions. So as we go through the political craziness during the next year, let’s remember to give all candidates a little slack and respect the simple fact they are willing to do the dirty work of leading our nation in order to make our lives a little easier. We must also be capable of recognizing the difference between a policy gaff and a trap question loaded with toxic interpretations. Dan Alexander is president and CEO of Sun Community News.

Jornada del Muerto
n the weeks leading up to the first atomic bomb test, on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico’s southern desert—called the Jornada del Muerto, the “Journey of Death”, by the Spanish conquistadores—70 scientists of the U.S. Army’s Manhattan Project working to build the first nuclear weapon signed a solemn petition to head off use of the weapon in Japan at the end of World War II. Headed up by nuclear physicist Leo Szilard, the 70 signees asked U.S. President Harry S. Truman to consider a demonstration test of the bomb for Japanese officials to witness instead of dropping the new weapon of mass destruction on a city of mostly civilians. Not declassified until 1961, the Szilard petition text reads as follows: “We, the undersigned, respectfully petition: First, that you exercise your power as Commander-in-Chief, to rule that the United States shall not resort to the use of atomic bombs in this war unless the terms which will be imposed upon Japan have been made public in detail and Japan knowing these terms has refused to surrender; Second, that in such an event the question whether or not to use atomic bombs be decided by you in the light of the considerations presented in this petition as well as all the other moral responsibilities which are involved...” Plans to deliver Szilard’s signed petition to Truman were thwarted by the U.S. Army. The effort didn’t stop the bomb and instead greatly damaged the careers of the signees. Nearly all of the scientists who signed the petition eventually lost their jobs; it took years for them to recover their career paths. Following World War II, Manhattan Project lead scientist Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer told Truman bluntly, in a private meeting about nuclear weaponry, “I feel I have blood on my hands.” After the meeting, Truman told his advisors that he never wanted to talk with Oppenheimer again. The President referred to the man who built the bomb, and who started displaying public remorse, as just another “cry baby scientist.” In retrospect, Szilard’s idea to hold a demonstration test of the bomb probably might have done the trick in at least shocking the Japanese into considering surrender. However, to be fair, many respected historians and military leaders have argued otherwise. Millions of American sailors and soldiers might have died if the Japanese homeland was invaded, as planned, in September 1945. Of course, it’s always easy to judge the actions of the past from the cold and comfortable present. No matter, not a single world leader in power in 2015—with the possible exception of North Korea’s Kim Jong-un—has experienced an atomic explosion, either underground or above ground; yet, leaders discuss the bomb and negotiate treaties and agreements without having a first-hand knowledge of the sheer awesome, violent scale of nuclear and thermonuclear devices. Of the three principals involved in the on-going, controversial Iranian
nuclear agreement—U.S. President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry and Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei, only Kerry has seen the horrors of (conventional) weapons up close. And neither leader has seen the effects of an underground or above ground nuclear explosion. Would a demonstration test of an above-ground nuclear weapon explosion before the signing of the Iranian agreement changed minds or forced a rewriting of the controversial text and self inspections benchmarks� Perhaps not, but I believe that the cosmic fury of an above-ground nuclear explosion should be seen and felt—in all its roiling, thermal and radioactive intensity—by every world leader, no matter the size of the nation. When the Eisenhower administration revoked Oppenheimer’s security clearance in 1954—for both political and philosophical reasons—the physicist returned to teaching and continued to caution the world about the awesome power of the atom he helped set loose. As an eyewitness to the unfathomable violence unleashed during that first test of his own creation in 1945, Oppenheimer once reflected, “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried; most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita... ‘Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all felt that, one way or another.” Lou Varricchio is managing editor of New Market Press in Vermont, a subsidiary of Sun Community News

Community leads to great success! To the Editor: I would like to thank the community, the Elizabethtown EMS, Volunteers, The Community Sun for their coverage, the attendees and all those involved in making the 2015 Otis Mountain Get Down an outstanding success. We saw an attendance of 1,800 overwhelmingly supportive and positive attendees from across the region and country, 30+ musical acts, and numerous local and regional artists, food and craft vendors. The broad offering of genres and world class artists not only catered to all tastes, but also brought together a lineup that is seldom seen, let alone in the Adirondacks. We are already looking forward to next year in improving upon our commitments to host an event that is enjoyable for anyone, safe, sustainable and supportive of the region, environment and community.

Accusations need fact checking To the Editor: On first read of your letter in The Times of Ti Sun, the Saturday, Oct. 3 issue, I thought it very strangely written and would have dismissed it until you wrote “Then on Monday, you show up at our house with someone introducing himself as the mayor and then the vice mayor as we denied his fraudulent introduction. To us, he was just someone off the street trying to illegally record everything that was said.”
This paragraph gave me real pause. The accusations needed to be checked. I have checked them and this is what I have discovered. You do have two facts correct. There was a village worker driving a Bobcat along the sidewalk in front of your house while going to his work on a street beyond your house. The second correct fact was that the Deputy Mayor and the head of the village’s DPW did come to your house to find out if there was a problem, if so, what it was and how to solve it. It seems that none of those involved in the short meeting were happy with the results. I have but one observation, Bobcats are much, much smaller than the eighteen wheelers that often use Broad Street. Sandra Lovell, Port Henry
Appreciates Honor Flight To the Editor: On Oct. 3, I had the privilege of taking part in the North Country Honor Flight trip to Washington, DC, along with 13 other WWII and Korean War veterans. It was a day filled with activities and honors that created many memories for me. I would like to thank Frank McGrath, our flight commander, and everyone else involved in the NCHF program for their dedication to our veterans. I would also like to thank the Essex County Sheriff ’s department, the Combat Veteran’s Motorcycle Association (“The Ghost Chapter”), the students who wrote us letters, family, friends, and everyone else who took part in making this a memorable experience.

t happens every year, just as the annual Big Game Hunting season is set to open. It’s as reliable as clockwork. It starts about a week before Opening Day. Before the season ends, I will answer a flood of phone calls, emails and even a few handwritten letters from rookies, wanna-bees, former dropouts and some folks that just want to know what they are doing wrong. Typically, the range of questions tends to center on the topic of where to, and when to hunt whitetail. I suppose if they are truly interested in answers to such queries, they’ve already figured out the how and why of hunting. I usually try to explain the best method to increase their odds of achieving hunting success is to increase the frequency of their hunting opportunities. If the deer are not coming to you, then you must go to the. Deer. This entails spending as much time as possible in locations where deer tend to frequent, which are surprisingly similar to comparable locations where humans tend to hangout. It also requires a skilled hunter, or huntress, that has the skill, equipment and ability to get close enough to harvest a wild animal on it’s own, familiar territory. Whitetail deer seek food, water, shelter (cover) and companionship, just as humans do. And bucks, the male of the species are also seeking the companionship of females in earnest at the same time, especially as the breeding season begins. It’s not really rocket science, whitetails have instincts that humans share with all fellow animals, the need for food, water, shelter, safety and sex. Often, prospective hunters follow up with questions regarding how and when to pursue “the “sport; which is not actually a sport. In fact, hunting is more likely an instinctive, human response to a biological urge, rather than a competitive ‘sport’. The only comparison to hunting as a sport involves the proscribed rules of conduct, and the limited season. When we enter a forested stadium, and set foot on the hunting field of play, there is no score-keeper, and no game clock. There are no referees, beyond our own conscience, and more often than not; we are the only spectators. Despite the fact that hunting is truly an instinctive, human behavior, it still requires a certain degree of practice and training to refine and retrain the skills necessary to be successful. Although humans are biologically designed as predators with eyes in the front of the head, and ears on the side, their advanced intelligence is what typically sets them apart from most other living creatures. Although humans are the only animals on the planet with the ability to make and tame fire for cooking, light, and protection; they have grown so tame over the course of time, that many of their inherent predatory skills and abilities have long since atrophied from a lack of use. The skills and endurance that once allowed humans to perfect persistence hunting techniques, which involve capturing prey through a process of walking, running and tracking it down, are no practiced. While a few primitive hunters still retain and practice such ancient skills, the vast majority of humans have long since forgotten the way. As hunters return to the Adirondack backwoods this hunting season, it is important for them to continually update and refine the hunting and stalking skills that have been passed down to them. At the same time, it is equally important for them to discover new hunting strategies, methods, and techniques. In the ongoing effort to upgrade their knowledge, it is often helpful

for hunters to look back on their efforts, in order to move forward. Despite the prevalence of a wide range of technological hunting aids that include advanced optics, laser range finders, scentless clothing and game cameras that can actually provide hunters with real time images from remote locations; there is no way to compensate for a lack of time in the woods. The only proven method to truly get tuned into the woods, is to spend more time there. A hunter can’t expect to pattern a buck’s movement, without experiencing the animal’s actual physical presence. A virtual hunt doesn’t put any venison on the table’. Hunters are now able to employ all sorts of hunting aids that include scents, sounds, mock scrapes, bleats, decoys and a host of similar hunting equipment. However, there is nothing to beat being in the right spot at the right time. The most successful deer hunters are the ones who know where to find that spot, and how to be there on the hunt most often. They simply put in the time, and I have yet to discover a more reliable technique.
Hunt Safely Safe hunting is accomplished through a process of planning and preparation that is combined with a bit of attitude. It is a frame of mind that insures nothing is overlooked or dismissed as routine. Before hefting a pack and heading off to the woods, it is important to know you will be carrying everything that is needed to get in there and back out again. It’s also important to realize that accidents do happen, so make a point of leaving word with someone regarding your planned route of travel, and specify when you will be back. Hunting can be relaxing, and exciting, but it also presents a measure of risk. As a result, it is important to stick to your plans� Since most hunters prefer to stay away from marked hiking trails, it often makes search efforts for lost or injured hunters very difficult. Although cell phone coverage in the Park has improved significantly in recent years, never rely on a cell phone to get you out of a jam� There is still a lot of territory where cell phones are as useless as a ...on a bull. Hunting requires constant observation, quick wits, sharp eyes, and often instant decision making. Typically, there is only one chance to get a shot off at a deer, and it must be good. Conversely, there are over a thousand ways to take a bad shot, unless a hunter remains diligent at all times. Always expect to see a deer where and when you least expect to, it’s the first rule of the game. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

o you doodle� Sorry to pry, but I’m interested. Most people make repetitious circles, squares and triangles. I have always doodled. Mine were different from the average bear--strange creatures, odd designs and reflections of a weird mind. Only recently have experts begun to tell us you can absorb a lecture more thoroughly when doodling. I always thought it was natural to do so. Each day from 1961 until I left the radio business in 1997, I drew pictures when interviewing guests or playing records. When I finished a task, I would look down in amazement at the strange concoction on the reverse of a news story or sports score I had just read. I call them subliminal, because I had no idea what I was drawing. I signed and date each, brought them home and Kaye stashed them in drawers and boxes. There they languished until our youngest son Kirk asked if he could archive them. I was flattered as he loaded them into his vehicle and took them back to Ohio. He scanned, photographed and categorized more than five thousand drawings. In time, he handed me a thumb drive and, for the first time, I was able to view them in chronological order or any other way that suited my mood. They are some distance outside the box, if you get my drift. What to do with them was for me a dilemma. Should I leave them hidden from public view forever or somehow share them with friends� I tried putting some on t-shirts. I framed a few and displayed them in shops. I was told I should put them on calendars with a different drawing each day. Eventually, I was led to the concept of adult-oriented coloring books. 2015 has become a bonanza for people who publish and print them. Psychologists are proclaiming them as new age meditation. Hospital gift shops are selling them like hot cakes. Patients and doctors are gobbling them up and announcing that coloring is therapeutic. You only have to hit me in the head with a hammer once to get my attention. I contacted my son Kirk and he agreed to write a forward. I broached the idea on my social media pages and displayed them at public presentations. I dropped off the thumb drive with a local printer. In 1997, a friend noticed that my signature on the doodles was “GLittle,” but it looked like “Gittle.” From that day forward, I called them “Gordie Little Gittles.” Of course it’s silly, but so am I. I wrote three rhyming children’s books using Gittles to encourage young people to draw. None have been published. Now to try and decide which Gittles to put in the first coloring book. Why� Because it seems like a good idea at the time. Columnist Gordie Little may be reached at gordie@suncommunitynews.com.

Mimi Jones is described as a New York bassist and vocalist stylishly eclectic, mixing jazzy soul-pop, world beat rhythms, and chilled-out balladry. A positive and inspiring composer, Jones’ songs melt seamlessly from one to another. Jones and her quartet perform music from the ambitious 2014 release Balance. All About Jazz says the recording “leaves little doubt that Jones is really doing it — and doing it well.” For more information, and a complete list of performances visit vermontpbs.org/jazz. Northern New York is full of autumnal events, visit our calendar of events and on-line posts for more inclusive listings. I write my column two weeks ahead, so please send the details of your events to me in time for inclusion in my column. Thanks! Linda@suncommunitynews.com.
Hill and Hollow embraces their anniversary

To celebrate 20 seasons, Hill and Hollow have planned something both impressive and local. They have invited North Country native, Soovin Kim and his ensemble — the Johannes String Quartet to perform. Angela Brown, of Hill and Hollow, said, “Although he performs in Burlington, Vermont on a regular basis, he does not play on our side of the pond very often. This concert is a pretty big deal for us and we are so excited�” I was curious about the places Kim has played, “on this side of the pond.” My sleuthing efforts proved interesting. Seems the Johannes String Quartet’s other New York gigs include performances at Carnegie Hall, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Brown was correct, this string quartet is impressive. And having performed at any celebration is a significant score. The string quartet will play on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 3 p.m. at the historic United Methodist Church on Route 3 in Saranac.

Warrensburg ‘Gift Baskets Galore’ event this weekend Holiday charity is marking 30th year By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
Graveyard Walks, Dinner with Dead set WARRENSBURG — The history of Warrensburg is to come to life soon in a novel way, as the Warrensburgh Historical Society holds its 15th annual series of Graveyard Walks and Dinner With the Dead. The three events feature actors and local history enthusiasts portraying noted townspeople from past eras who are buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery. Those attending will have the opportunity hear a half-dozen “ghosts” tell the interesting stories of their past lives in Warrensburg. The Graveyard Walks will be conducted at 7 p.m. sharp on two consecutive Fridays in the Warrensburgh Cemetery, which is 166 years old this year. The first walk is to be held Friday Oct. 16 for a price of $8 per person. The
Claus himself had been there,” she said, noting that about 20 volunteers annually help buy, wrap and distribute the gifts of clothing, toys, necessities and food. Among the long-time volunteers is Trudi Egan, a teacher at Warrensburg Elementary School from 1992 to 2010. She taught alongside LaPoint for years. Egan said that LaPoint would gather information from local teachers about children in need, finding out their interests, their clothing sizes and preferences, so the children would be thrilled with the gifts. “She matched up children with what they really needed and wanted,” she said. “Florence is the most amazing, most modest and unassuming woman.” Egan added that the scope of LaPoint’s charitable efforts were so expansive, that she’d work on Operation Santa Claus all year long. “She was tireless in working for charity,” Egan said. “Even when she was on vacations in Florida, she’d find gifts for children and ship them home to Warrensburg. Florence’s dedication is just incredible -- I don’t know how she accomplishes it all.” Baker noted that another fundraiser for Operation Santa Claus is occurring this fall. Local photographer Mac Morey will be taking family and individual portraits, donating the entire $10 sitting fee to the charity. Morey can be reached at 6234201.
presentation is to be followed by a buffet of homemade desserts at the Warrensburg Senior Center — also known as Miles Thomas House, at 136 Main St. in Warrensburg. The second graveyard walk is to be held Friday Oct. 23 for a price of $13. This excursion into local history is followed by a dessert buffet at the Cornerstone Victorian B&B on Upper Main St. To reserve tickets for either event, contact Elaine Cowin at 504-4035, or call 623-2928. These walks are popular and space is limited, so call early. It is recommended that spectators wear warm clothing and carry flashlights. The cemetery is located on Hudson St. Extension. On Sunday Oct. 25 at 6 p.m., a full course “Dinner With The Dead” will be served at Lizzie Keays Restaurant at 89 River St. in Warrensburg. Diners will be visited between the meal courses by a half-dozen of the historical re-enactors who performed in the graveyard walks. Call the restaurant at 504-4043 before Thursday Oct. 22 for reservations, prices and menu choices.
THE LARGEST SOURCE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.
WARRENSBURG — Hundreds of people are expected to gather Sunday, Oct. 18 to bid on many dozens of gift baskets while they assist a worthy cause in the region that brings cheer to dozens of local families during the holiday season. Set at the Warrensburg High School Cafetorium is the 14th annual “Gift Baskets Galore” silent auction. The event raises money for the local Operation Santa Claus, an effort that’s observing its 30th year of helping people in need. The charity is spearheaded in the Warrensburg area by Florence LaPoint, a former local elementary school teacher who ran a dance studio in town for generations. Doors at the Gift Baskets Galore event open at 12:30 for viewing and bidding for 100 or more baskets, filled with items and services donated by area merchants. The drawing of the winners will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Single admission is $8 which provides 25 chances in the drawings — with additional tickets available for $5. Children age 5 and over must purchase an admission ticket. Tickets may be purchased in
advance from Willows Bistro on Main St. in Warrensburg, or by contacting Jean Rumble at 6234160. Advance ticket purchase is recommended; however tickets will be available at the door. Warrensburg’s Operation Santa Claus provides clothes and food for families in the Warrensburg School District who are facing urgent needs. LaPoint has also silently made a variety of other donations annually to families through other charities. For decades, her annual dance extravaganzas packed the school auditorium, and the event’s proceeds were donated towards her charitable efforts. Contacted this week, LaPoint credited others in the community who have volunteered to help the charitable efforts, as well as the donors. Throughout those 30 years, Barbara Baker of Warrensburg has worked alongside LaPoint in the Operation Santa Claus. “I can’t praise Florence enough — I don’t know how she organizes it all,” Baker said, noting that LaPoint also has conducted variety shows as fundraisers to purchase gifts for children in need. “People just swarm to her events.” She said that people visiting Florence LaPoint at her home or dance studio during late autumn over these 30 years, would see presents — ready to be delivered to area families — stacked to the ceiling. “If anyone walks into studio, they’d think Santa

Fifty years ago – October, 1965 Homeland Madame Louise Homer, who made more money than any other American opera star and her husband, Sydney Homer, author of “My Wife and I,” purchased Bolton shoreline in 1917 from W.K. Bixby and in 1919 built there a beautiful home, “Homeland,” on the west side of Lake George at a cost of $25,000. Today, in 1965, the colonial structure is valued at $300,000. The Homer estate was purchased by Huldah M. Kunker Hyney in 1938 and today she and her husband, J. Erwin Hyney, an investment banker with Shields and Company, live in one of the four homes on the 55 acre site year round. The main colonial house sleeps twenty-two in the main quarters with bedrooms on the top floor for servants. Thirteen fireplaces are spread throughout the house with one in each main bedroom. The basement was blasted out of solid rock which forms the main foundation of the house. A fifteen hundred foot lake frontage included a private island. (Note – Sydney and Louise Dilworth Beatty Homer were married for 52 years. Operatic contralto Louise Homer, 76, died May 6, 1947 in Winter Park, Florida after five weeks of ill health.)
Days gone by Mrs. Ellen E. Frazier, wife of Albert S. Frazier, an executive of the old Imperial Paper and Color Corp., for many years, died early Oct. 3, 1965 at her home, 136 Main Street, Warrensburg, after a brief illness. Until 1957 Mr. Frazier was a secretary and treasurer of Imperial Paper. The Emerson National Bank has purchased William Frazier

land at 136 Main Street, Warrensburg, adjoining the site of the Emerson Bank, it was announced by Maurice Ashe who handled the transaction. Mr. Ashe said that the bank will announce its plans concerning the property at a later date but it is understood that present parking facilities will be expanded and at a later date an addition to the bank building will be planned. (Note – Ellen and Albert Frazier lived at what is today known as the Miles Thomas house, built in 1873, which Supervisor Charlie Hastings purchased in 1978 as a Senior Citizens Center. The land bought by the bank next door, where the parking lot is now, was once called Louis Reoux’s tennis court. This wonderful house at 3847 Main Street, around which Queen Village history has whorled in and around for 142 years, has been in constant danger from short sighted people with no respect for our heritage and we all must fight for what we hold dear because when something of great value is gone, it is gone forever.)
Tragic accident Herman Muller, 66, a summer resident of Diamond Point and his wife, the former Florence Sidur, 54, were killed in a crash between an auto and a tractor-trailer on Route 96 near Candor, in a fatal collision which also took the lives of two other persons. Mr. Muller has owned the former “Sol” Russell place on the Diamond Point road for many years.

Coach << Continued from | p. 1
Regardless of whether each early-season talent pool looks promising or not, Stanilka’s squads have again and again acquired skills and team chemistry and achieved remarkable success, at times surprising area sports gurus. Her teams have competed in the state volleyball championship Final Four 12 times since the statewide volleyball tournament was established in 1990. Her 2000-2001 team won the state Class C Volleyball Championship in 2001. In addition, the Warriors won 15 consecutive Section II titles from 1989 through 2003 — and added three more in the mid-2000s. In softball, which she coached for 26 seasons at Lake George, Stanilka tallied 329 career wins and a state championship in 1992. But Stanilka’s influence has gone far beyond mentoring teams that win lofty titles. She’s had a profound impact on the hundreds of athletes she’s coached through the last four decades.
Stanilka inspired others’ careers Kelly Collins, a 1990 graduate of Lake George High, talked this week about how Stanilka influenced her career and life. Collins was on Stanilka’s softball and volleyball teams in high school, and she came back to Lake George to coach junior varsity volleyball, varsity softball, and later, track and field. “I have utmost respect and admiration for Cathy,” Collins said, noting how Stanilka inspired the players to work hard together towards their goals. “She goes way beyond teaching the specific skills of sports — she really motivates kids, and makes sure they work together as a team.” Collins said Stanilka has been an inspiration for her own path in life. “What makes her unique is her ability to get the most out of every athlete,” she said. “I went into my profession because of the impact Cathy had on me.” Stanilka is known through-

out the region for not only having high expectations of her athletes and their performance, but inspiring them through her encouraging, charismatic approach. Heather McGuire, a member of the 2001 Lake George Volleyball team that won the Class C state championship, said Stanilka had a strong influence in her life and career as well. McGuire credited Stanilka for inspiring her to pursue a teaching and coaching career. McGuire came back to Lake George in 2006 as an assistant volleyball coach for two years, then moved on to teach History at Johnstown High School — and coach the Varsity Volleyball team. From 2011 through 2013, McGuire’s volleyball teams competed in the Final Four of the state Class D championships. “Cathy had such a strong influence on me — she solidified everything I wanted to do; teach and coach,” McGuire said. “She has this incredible spirit, and she inspires players’ hard work,

perseverance, class, and dedication to goals — and they embrace these traits in their own lives and careers. Whenever I think about what kind of coach I want to be, it always comes back to her.” McGuire added that Stanilka, known through her career by the name ‘Panic,’ relates to each player individually. “She knows how to ‘read’ people — she figures out what each player needs and how to motivate them,” McGuire said. “She’s a master at creating team chemistry.”
‘Panic’ sought to promote girls’ sports Stanilka said this week she was inspired to become a coach because when she was in high school, sports weren’t offered for girls — and after playing softball, field hockey and basketball in college, she wanted to become a physical education teacher and coach girls sports teams, creating opportunity for girls so they could benefit from competi-

tive team play. “Back when I was in high school, girls could only be cheerleaders, and that was it,” she said. Debbie Beck, Lake George’s Modified Volleyball coach, has known Stanilka for about 30 years. In the mid-1980s, Stanilka recruited Beck to serve as the Warriors’ JV Volleyball coach. “Not only does Cathy feel strongly about girls sports, she has a special bond with her players — she treats them like they are her own kids. She puts every thought into how she can improve the girls’ skills, and what makes them play well together.” Beck said that through the years, Stanilka has bought equipment and clothing for players who couldn’t afford the expense, and paid for some to go to sports camps. Beck added that Stanilka has helped students through personal turmoil, and even helped her players resolve personal conflicts that have occasionally surfaced. “She’s like a counsel-
or, mother and coach all wrapped up in one,” Beck said. “Cathy is amazing — she inspires the girls to work hard with each other, work through challenges, which makes them stronger athletes. She goes way above and beyond what an average coach would do.” This deep bond with her athletes prompted her 2014 team members to cry when Stanilka revealed in May she was going to retire. Especially upset were the younger players who knew they wouldn’t have her for four years as their coach. Stanilka’s mentoring abilities are underscored by the fact she although hadn’t played volleyball, she acquired the knowledge she needed to become a remarkably successful coach as soon as the late 1980s and 1990s. Stanilka said this week she gained her knowledge of volleyball from reading books on the sport, attending coaching clinics, and learning techniques from other coaches. During the early 1990s, Stanilka’s coaching techniques advanced, she said, when she and her team accompanied the Hudson Falls Volleyball Team on bus rides to the state tournaments. During those long trips, she gained knowledge from the Tigers’ coach Gail Shaffer, who won three consecutive state titles, concluding undefeated seasons, Stanilka recalled. Section II Volleyball chairman Peggy Seese, who’s coached volleyball at Argyle for 24 years, offered her thoughts. “Cathy’s been a huge asset to volleyball and to women’s sports in general,” Seese said. “She’s a great ambassador for the sport — She cares a lot about the kids and the sport — she puts her heart and soul into it.” Although others hail Stanilka for her success, she deferred credit to her students, parents, other coaches and school staff. “I’ve had the remarkable opportunity to work with so many wonderful colleagues, supportive staff members and parents,” she said this week. “I’ve been blessed working with very talented young ladies who have bought into the concept that volleyball and other sports at Lake George are a program and not just a team.” Stanilka said she’ll be treasuring the memories in the years to come, and that she was going to stay active in sports by serving on the state committees for volleyball, softball and girls basketball. “I have so many cherished memories I can’t begin to count them,” she said. “I’ve developed friendships on all fronts that will last a lifetime.” ON THE COVER: Cathy Stanilka, coach of the Lake George High School Volleyball team for 40 years, is to be honored for her successful tenure in a ceremony and a reception Friday Oct. 23. This week, her fellow coaches talked about how she inspired them in their careers and lives. Photo provided
