School, cutting pumpkins as light splashed through the windows on a brilliant autumn afternoon. Hours earlier, students tucked into a midday meal of tacos and beans, with locally-produced organic beef and veggies as the main ingredients. The room was silent now as the kitchen manager took stock of the district’s new farm-to-school program. Food from four local producers now winds it way through the mountain roads and into local stomachs. The kids were fed, and he was happy.

Newcomb Central introduced their farm-to-school program at the beginning of the academic year. It’s an idea that sprouted from the district’s desire to improve their wellness policy. “Are we doing this, and can we be doing it better?” recalled Chris Fischer, the district’s director of curriculum and instruction.

LAKE GEORGE | Initial enthusiasm among Lake George officials over a $4.27 million grant pledged recently by Gov. Cuomo for a new village sewer plant was dampened last week by the news that the cost of the proposed facility is projected to increase as much as $4 million by the time it’s actually built. Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais said this week that he and village Public Works Superintendent Dave Harrington met recently with representatives of the engineering firm Chazen Companies, who informed them that the existing cost estimate for the plant of $17 million — reached in 2015 — is likely to increase to $20 million or more by 2021 when final construction bids are obtained. » Sewer Plant Cont. on pg. 14
