Rodeo dreams

Theresa Stannard earns spot in professional rodeo circuit

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — The Grayrider Ranch in Chestertown is a relatively new venture for Theresa Stannard and her husband, George.

They are hopeful that when Theresa joins George in retirement from the New York State Police, the ranch will be in full swing.

It’s not the only recent challenge for Theresa to take on, as she quickly earned a spot in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, just months after deciding to up her game from amateur status.

Theresa, now 39, credits her path from an upbringing with strong values.

“We grew up with responsibility,” she said of her childhood with two younger brothers. “We knew what we had to do.”

There was ample influence from an uncle, as well, an inspiration she still feels today.

“I learned bareback. When the pony wasn’t fast enough, I’d move up to a faster one,” she said. They were her father’s working ponies, short and strong, built for pulling. It wasn’t long before she’d outgrown ponies.

Her uncle Bill Ryder was a bachelor. She and her brothers, “were like his kids,” she said.

At age 12 or 13, she recalled, Ryder introduced her to something that would heavily influence and shape the direction of her life.

“It was my first Gymkhana,” she said of the event, consisting of patterned horse races. It was barrel racing that struck Theresa. “That was the beginning,” she said.

She made friends with girls competing in the Adirondack Gymkhana Association. It was then, she graduated from ponies to horses, as her friends allowed her to ride theirs.

At age 14, her parents made a deal with her.

“If I worked and saved my money, they’d match it,” she said. By the end of the summer she’d earned $250.

With $500 in her pocket she bought her first horse.

She named her Satin Beauty and she had her for the next five years.

“She taught me a lot, but I plateaued on her,” she recalled. “She wasn’t fast enough.” >> Story Continued | pg. 10

Campaign to build a WCS auditorium gains widespread support

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — For many decades, people attending plays, musicals and concerts at both of Warrensburg’s public schools have had their vision of the performances partially blocked by other audience members

seated in front of them. They’ve also put up with poor sound quality, because the schools’ stages are located in the cafeteria in the high school and the gymnasium in the elementary school.

In the last two months, a campaign has emerged to build a school district auditorium with professional

acoustics and tiered seating at Warrensburg High School, which if it became a reality, would solve the above problems.

Over the last several weeks, the campaign has gained traction via Facebook postings and an Internetbased petition to the school board and administrators, which as of Dec.

8 had 284 signatures and dozens of comments expressing enthusiasm for the idea. The petition is available at iPetitions.com.

The plan that’s being advanced is to build a new auditorium without any expense to taxpayers. >> Story Continued | pg. 14

Bright Beginnings prepares to open in Chestertown

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — The excitement is building in Chestertown, as Bright Beginnings readies to open. The new child care center is tucked away at 18 Be At Ease Lane, a hidden little drive off Route 9. The setting is serene, with Panther Mountain the beautiful landscape overlooking the soon to be installed play yard. Upon first inspection, you might think the property is a new build. Instead, it’s a compete renovation of a former gym. Three rooms await infants though school age children all full stocked for fun and learning.

“This is my dream job,” said owner Carrie Remington of deciding to open the facility. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in childhood education from SUNY Plattsburgh and followed it up with her Master’s in curriculum, instruction and special education from Concordia.

Her knowledge of pre-school learning will be an asset to the children who attend the center, as she will lead the preschool room.

“It’s data driven instruction,” she said of the curriculum, focusing on the needs of the children, with kindergarten readiness a priority for that age group.

While letters, counting and early literacy will be a focal point for the group, “There will be a lot of learning through play,” she said. “Pre-school is my favorite. I really can’t wait to get going.”

For now, Remington is waiting what is hopefully her last review by the state Office of Children and Family Services.

“They’ve been wonderful. They take all my calls and have helped me every step of the way,” she said of the oversight in getting licensed.

She’s currently wrapping up some minor details in the facility which should be her final tasks to complete.

She credits her husband Cody, whom she will celebrate her one-year anniversary with this week, and her father-in-law, Rick Monroe of R&B Construction, with support and encouragement in the major undertaking.

She purchase the property just over a year ago, with Monroe’s vision and handiwork a major piece in it’s completion.

Some unique items, like a child’s urinal in the bathroom, came after insistence of Remington’s father, John VanDerwarker.

Toys, books and even some of the furniture came by way of family, friends and community members, after learning the center was in the works.

“I really hope that once I am up and running to be able to give back to the community,” she said.

While she will man the pre-school room, she’s already got two staff members on board for the toddler and infant room.

Though not concrete yet, Remington is hopeful to be part of a new state program encouraging a continuum of care, allowing infants and toddlers to be in a mixed setting. It allows care providers to remain with the same children from infant through potty-training, when they typically move to a preschool setting.

“If you have a two-year old you’ve had all along, you’ll know how to comfort them. You’re going to know that child,” said Jessica West who will take charge of the toddler room.

She’s got a Master’s in education, as well, and look forward to bringing that knowledge with her.

If the center is allowed to utilize the continuum of care model, they’ll join only one other full care facility in the state to conduct the new practice.

While the official opening date is expected in the near future, Remington is currently creating her roster and enrolling children while awaiting the nod from the state. She’ll be open Monday through Friday, but like the curriculum, her hours will be driven by the needs of the families.

For enrollment information, pricing and other details, contact Remington at 518-494-0046.

Carrie Remington, center, prepares a changing table in the infant room at her new business, Bright Beginnings, as employee, Jessica West, looks on.

Warrensburg Central participates in SADD program WARRENSBURG — The Warrensburg Central School District SADD Chapter participated in “Project Sticker Shock” Tuesday, Nov. 24.

Project Sticker Shock is a program and partnership between various SADD Chapters, the Council for Prevention, and retail stores with the shared mission to cease underage drinking. The program specifically targets adults purchasing alcohol for minors.

The brightly colored stickers placed on alcoholic beverages are to provide a strong message to adults that purchasing alcohol for mi-

nors is irresponsible, unsafe, and illegal. The sticker states the penalty of up to one year of jail time and/or $1,000 fine.

The Stewart’s Shop in Warrensburg participates in Project Sticker Shock as do other Stewart’s Shops throughout the region. Maria D’Amelia, Stewart’s spokesperson stated, “At Stewart’s Shops we are committed to not selling alcohol to minors. We welcome these students into our shops in a number of communities, including Warrensburg, as their sticker shock campaign serves as an important reminder for everyone that is illegal for

persons 21 and over to purchase or supply alcohol to minors. We as a community need to work together to keep teens safe. This program supports our ongoing efforts toward making our communities a better place to live and work.”

Warrensburg CSD SADD President Kayla Sweet added, “The Chapter is pleased with

Stewart’s support of our goal, and proud to part of one of the largest and most active SADD Chapters in the region.” The Chapter has approximately 32 members and students are welcome to join at any point in the school year. The next meeting is Thursday, December 10 at 11:30 a.m., room 208. The SADD adviser is Ms. Laura Uhly.

Law practices to merge GLENS FALLS — Two well-known regional law firms have announced plans to merge their practices and expand services available to their clients.

Kimberly M. Wells and Sterling T. Goodspeed have agreed to join their two firms with offices in Glens Falls and Johnsburg.

“The idea is to provide a broad spectrum of legal services both to the Glens Falls area and the entire Adirondack Region,” Wells said.

The new firm, Wells & Goodspeed will maintain physical offices at 40 Dix Avenue, Glens Falls and at the intersection of Rtes 8 and 28 in Johnsburg.

“Merging our two offices permits us to make more legal services available in the Adirondacks while adding depth to the Glens Falls practice,” Wells said.

In addition to handling real estate matters, estate planning, divorce and family court practice, the new firm will add criminal defense to its service areas.

Goodspeed, who served two terms as Warren County District Attorney and ten years as Hamilton County Assistant District Attorney will again handle defense work as he concluded his prosecution work to facilitate the merger.

“Kim and I were opposed to each other in a difficult trial some years ago,” Goodspeed recalled. “I always remembered her as a skilled practitioner and importantly, a good person.

The idea of working together to build something of significance is something we both find exciting.”

The firm will joined by associated Linda Richards, who brings with her two decades in the U.S. Air Force Jag Corps, as well as experience as an administrative hearing officer.

Additionally, paralegal and support staff joining the newly merged firm include Sandra Dubay, paralegal, Susan Goodspeed, paralegal and Sarah Brennan, legal secretary.

The merger is effective Tuesday, Dec. 1, and the two firms can be reached at both 7430455 and 251-2702.

Students from Warrensburg Central School participated in the SADD Project Sticker Shock program.

Issue Divide

e can talk all we want about how to best address these repeated mass killing events, but our leaders continue to miss the most important step.

You do not build a house or construct a child’s Christmas toy in one simple step. You start at the base and work your way to the finish. It requires different tools and skills to address each unique aspect. It also requires patience and the recognition of time while paying close attention to the directions.

These soft target killing sprees must stop and our leaders repeatedly make the same mistake every single time by using them to promote their political agendas and vow to put “our” arms around an issue that is just too big to address with only one approach.

Ask yourself, what have any of our leaders done to address these issues in the last 25 years, except talk and blame the other party for their failure for not building bi-partisan consensus on the other side� First and foremost we need to keep dangerous people away from destructive weapons of all types.

We know that potential weapons today include not just guns but knives, cars, planes, explosives, poisons, gases, alcohol & drugs, unstable people, and in some cases even religion.

We know most of those items by themselves are valuable everyday items in our lives but when mixed incorrectly or used by misdirected individuals they can and have become deadly.

You can not address all those items and the many more I’ve neglects to include with one approach. It requires us to divide the issues and address each individually, the same way you construct a home, build a shelving unit or put together a child’s toy…. One focused step at a time.

I learned a long time ago when taking over troubled businesses; you do your best to set priorities and try to fix one thing each day. After many days you’ve made headway. After many months you are on your way to solving problems.

After many years your efforts begin to pay dividends.

Unfortunately, there will always be more problems to solve and in order to keep the dividends flowing, the same process must continually be applied to the new problems that will undoubtedly arise in the future.

Cooler heads need to prevail

L

ike everyone else, we’re struggling to understand this rash of violence at home and abroad.

The nature of these attacks is hard to stomach and it’s difficult to understand what’s driving them.

We’re unsettled and saddened by not only this jarring violence, but also feel as if we’ve entered an uncertain new era as the dueling threads of terrorism and mass shootings have seemingly wound themselves together to form a new breed of unpleasantness.

Not surprisingly, the rash of tragedies has led to a jittery public.

There’s been no shortage of politicians seizing on this fear and capitalizing on the tragedies before all the facts are known.

Both sides have been quick to assign blame, be it on the availability of guns or what some perceive to be lax national security policies.

Muslim leaders across the United States are already reporting a new wave of xenophobic sentiment and hateful episodes not seen since the Sept. 11 attacks.

The fear-mongering being spewed against Islam by several GOP presidential hopefuls, including Donald Trump and Ben Carson, has been particularly odious, including calls for a national registry and the closing of mosques.

ISIS, who took responsibility for the Paris attacks, thrives on this knee-jerk reaction.

This escalation of rhetoric plays into their hands and is used as a recruitment tool, attracting disaffected people like Tashfeen Malik, the San Bernardino perpetrator whom authorities believe was radicalized by the terrorist group.

The combination of widespread access to guns and hate speech is a noxious combination.

Shaming American Muslims and putting them on the defense is not the answer.

But neither is sweeping gun control reform.

With 300 million firearms circulating in the US, any policy seeking to restrict firearms from circulation will not work.

In the wake of these shootings, more and more guns are being pumped into the country’s national bloodstream. It’s a weapons boomlet fueled by those seeking safety and as a possible bulwark against future legislation.

The actions are amplified by officials like Paul Van Blarcum, the Ulster County Sheriff who sparked a firestorm last week when he urged licensed gun owners to carry their weapons in public.

How about Europe� Haven’t they nipped mass shootings in the bud� While advocates point at Australia’s massive gun buyback program following a 1996 mass shooting as a success that helped curb gun homicide, the same program is unlikely to be successful here, owing to both our sacrosanct gun culture, our porous borders and our climate of entrenched political polarization.

More sensible solutions, as others have pointed out, are universal background checks, longer waiting periods and banning sales of firearms to those on the country’s no fly lists.

The American public agrees with these proposals.

An October Gallup poll, which was taken shortly after a mass shooting left 9 dead at an Oregon college, determined 55 percent of Americans said they supported stricter gun control laws.

In that same poll, 86 percent of Americans said they favored legislation that would require universal background checks for all gun purchases in the US, while a recent Quinnipiac poll found 77 percent of respondents were in favor of closing the so-called terror gap, the loophole that allows those on the fed-

eral government’s terrorist watch list to purchase firearms.

That measure was defeated by the Senate GOP last week, and was one that President Obama took them to task for in his address on Sunday night.

We agree with the president that lawmakers should immediately get to work on crafting policies that will protect the American public, but throwing legislation at the problem does little but appease the party faithful.

At the same time, it should be made easier to flag the mentally ill.

While we’re not calling for a McCarthy-type system of citizen surveillance and spying, it might not be a bad idea for all of us to be more alert of our surroundings and alert authorities of red flags as they pop up.

Time and time again after these incidents, we’ve learned the perps have left a long trail of unheeded alarm bells prior to committing their heinous acts, but it goes unreported due to onerous privacy laws, cutbacks in mental health funding or other loopholes.

To be clear, while we continue to have serious reservations about our state’s controversial gun control legislation, the SAFE Act provision giving judges the power to strip firearms from those found to be mentally unfit is a model that should be emulated nationwide.

We cannot, however, get behind the calls from the far left to outright ban semi-automatic weapons like the ones used by the perpetrators in San Bernardino, Colorado Springs and in other massacre sites across the US. As we’ve seen here in New York, it would make otherwise law-abiding citizens criminals, while loopholes would undoubtedly arise that would circumvent the regulations.

Criminals would still secure weapons, leaving the public increasingly at the mercy of law enforcement agencies for their protection, while their trustworthiness and credibility has also been called into question in a parallel national debate.

We cannot entirely legislate our way out of what has become a national crisis, but failure to act is no longer an option.

COMMENTARY

GiveÊ toÊ UnitedÊ Way

FeelÊ goodÊ aboutÊ giving

To the Editor: Our community has experienced some tough times in the past few years.

Many of your friends, neighbors and coworkers need help today that they didn’t need 2 or 3 years ago.

The United Way campaign is one of the easiest ways to help give back to our community because 100 percent of the funds raised stay here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties and directly support programs and services provided by our 42 partner agencies.

I am passionate about this campaign because I have seen firsthand just where a large percentage of our community stands today-our neighbors are hurting. But our community has always demonstrated the willingness to volunteer and contribute to these 35 United Way agencies who serve more than 80,000 people every year-and that number continues to grow.

Our campaign has an aggressive goal-to raise $725,000 this year. To achieve this year. To achieve this goal, we have to engage more members of our community. If you have not donated in the past, you are the one that can make a difference in the lives of your neighbors who need it most. Consider the few dollars you spend each week on coffee.

We always have had wonderful people here in Clinton, Essex and Franklin Counties that truly care about their neighbors...and that is what really makes our community great.

If you have a United Way campaign at your workplace, please support it and talk up the need and value to our community to your friends, family and coworkers. If you don’t have an employee campaign but would like to give to the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., please call 5630028. You can also visit our website unitedwayadk.org, for more information on the 42 agencies served or to view our campaign video.

Kathy Snow Plattsburgh

To the Editor: The Adirondack region has over 750 nonprofit organizations listed with New York’s Department of State. This group, as a whole, does a number of things daily that touch all of our lives. Some organizations are protecting our life-sustaining environment for the future; many others are helping our youth grow up to be strong, responsible, contributing members of our community; some deal with the horrors of domestic abuse of women and children; and several agencies help those near the end of their lives.

In the small towns that make up most of the Adirondack region, the nonprofit sector is best represented by the people. When you give to a charity, an organization, or even an institution, what you’re really doing is supporting the people that make it tick.

When you give to PRIDE of Ticonderoga, you’re helping the staff and volunteers invest in the community’s future. When you give to High Peaks Hospice, you help people like Joseph Dufour and Brenda Stevens provide the best possible care for their patients in Warren County. Your donations help the dedicated volunteers at the Adirondack Community Outreach Center provide clothing, food, mentoring, and many other services in North Creek and Johnsburg. A gift to the Indian Lake Library means Nancy Berkowitz and her team can operate an excellent community resource for residents of Hamilton County.

We could go on and on. We hope you will look within your own community to see the many and increasing needs that require our attention—even as we remain vigilant about needs elsewhere. With issues like family economic instability, and costs of living increases, many more people will need support in the coming months, and perhaps years.

Our charitable dollars can have a direct and often immediate impact on helping people meet basic needs. If the economy is affecting those of us fortunate enough not to think about putting food on our table, then imagine the impact it’s having on those who almost always need to think about the source of their next meal or rent check.

Make giving back a family affair by involving children, parents, siblings and others in your giving decisions. Consider making a financial gift or volunteering your time for a local charity.

Please consider contacting Adirondack Foundation to discuss how we can partner with you to give back or visit AdirondackGives.org to make an immediate impact today.

PrayÊ forÊ theÊ USA! To the Editor: As Trump said on TV “Pray for the victims of the terrorist attack, then be prepared for World War III. It is not coming, it is here.”

A sheriff down south of here said, “If you have a pistol permit, start carrying.”

I would like to go one step further. If you have a carry permit, call your local sheriff and request he opens up his department pistol range to citizens and provide his firearms training staff to qualify you in safety, marksmanship, and firearms law. Just because you own a hand gun no more makes you a marksman then a hammer makes you a carpenter!

I would urge each and every gun owner to call Cuomo and not ask but demand the gun stupid act be repealed. We need to go back to being a nation of armed marksmen and women. Armed citizens stopped the Japanese from continuing from Hawaii to California at the beginning of WWII. Most of the local conservation clubs have shooting ranges. Maybe the police could use them to train shooters. Something tells me, we are going to need a citizen militia very soon.

Stay safe, stay armed, keeping the faith.

George Phillips Chestertown

Alexander From page 4

once again for the people.

I fear that’s a risky gamble but it shows how desperate many are becoming.

With the world in turmoil, a frustrated electorate at home, a government that is paralyzed by in-fighting, and a national media that no longer serves as the nation’s watchdog, the nation’s voters must figure out a way to put aside its partisan interests and make a critical decision in the best interest of the entire nation, if not the world.

The nation has always found a way to select the right leader at the right time.

Our system of government and the American people will once again be put to the test as designed by our nation’s founders to cut through the bragging and over-stated, unrealistic promises to make a choice in 2016. Let us hope we make the right choice and set the nation on a new course to prosperity and peace.

DENIM DAYS

When the Indian Lake Central School Faculty and Staff put on their jeans for a Denim Day, it seems they reach for ones with deep pockets. Two times a month during the school year, teachers and staff set aside a day to wear jeans to school. In return for dressing comfortably, they make a donation to a specific community organization. Fundraising efforts in November are for Operation Santa.

This non-profit organization began in Hudson Falls forty years ago as a way to help families in need at the holidays. Indian Lake Faculty Association has proudly participated with this organization for 38 years. Funds that are raised for Operation Santa benefit families in the Indian Lake community by providing money for clothing and food for the holidays. Two Denim days were held in November so children in our community will be warmer this winter.

Little Bits Christmas Music Gordie Little

Columnist

S

ome radio stations began playing Christmas music before Halloween.

I love the holidays, but this is a bit much. Back in my radio days, we had strict rules about when the carols and secular songs were spun on the turntables (yes, there were turntables at that time).

After Thanksgiving, there was only one per hour. They became more frequent as December 25th grew closer. It wasn’t the 18th that the Christmas music was “wall-to-wall.” We wrote, produced and recorded numerous, special Christmas programs. We played many parts as we repeated some of the same shows each year and added new ones.

It was hard, but happy work for those of us in that medium way back when. I, for one, remember them with great fondness. We broadcast live from area churches. We played dozens of school musical presentations.

We did our bit to spread Christmas joy using all 1,000 watts of radio transmitter power. The season was magical and we tried to keep it that way.

Some of that wonder, charm and delight has been worn thin by garrulous glitter and mandatory gift-giving. We all get caught up in the process, but at our house, Kaye and I struggle to keep it beautiful and simple, at least in our hearts.

That’s not easy with such a huge family, but we firmly believe that LOVE is the essence of it all and we have plenty to go around. Our taste in holiday music ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime. “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” would fit the former and “We Three Kings” would define the latter.

I’ll wager none of you recall who recorded the hippopotamus song. It was Gayla Peevey who was just 10 in 1953 when radio stations began to play it regularly. I am pleased that there are still those who can sing the lyrics with Kaye and me. It was a favorite for our late son, Gary.

It’s also possible you are not familiar with the Plattsburgh connection attached to “We Three Kings.” I’m here to fill in the blanks. It was penned by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857. He wrote both the words and music for a New York City Christmas pageant. It wasn’t published until 1863. Hopkins graduated from UVM and became rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Plattsburgh in 1872.

He would no doubt stir in his grave if he heard the sacrilegious lyrics we applied to his wonderful carol when we were kids.

Smoking on a rubber cigar, indeed.

I beg you not to forget the traditional carols as you try to keep up with the frantic rush of the season. But we must also let our hair down occasionally and sing silly songs like “Hippopotamus.”

And, if anybody cares, It is proper to refer to hippopotamuses as the plural, if you feel silly talking about hippopotami.

Wbg. EMS seeks drivers, paramedics, medical tech trainees

By Thom Randall thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — With the busy lives people now live, fewer have time to volunteer their services on an ambulance squad, Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services Operations Manager Steve Emerson said this week.

Due to this trend, Warrensburg EMS is now seeking more volunteer members, he continued.

Volunteering time to the emergency squad helps others at a time of critical need, and provides volunteers with a profound sense of fulfillment, he said.

“We welcome people from all walks of life who want to help their neighbors — and perhaps launch a professional career in emergency medical services,” he said.

Financial assistance is available for training costs, whether it’s for basic EMT duties or advanced life support expertise.

Emerson and others have noted that there’s a strong camaraderie among EMS volunteers — yet another reason to join the squad.

People can volunteer in a wide variety of ways: as an ambulance driver, first responder, emergency medical technician, paramedic, vehicle mechanic, accountant, custodian, board member, project manager, or a Junior Member. For the latter, one must be at least 16 years old.

Emergency responders and drivers are particularly needed on weekdays, Emerson said.

Warrensburg EMS is one of the most active squads in the area, responding to 800 to 1,000 calls per year. The squad serves Warrensburg, Thurman and neighboring communities including Diamond Point, North Caldwell and many others during mutual aid calls.

Warrensburg EMS headquarters is located at 3 King St. The squad was formed as an independent non-profit corporation in 1999.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Emerson on his cell phone at 232-0817 or at the squad headquarters at 623-4911 and leave a message.

Also, membership applications are available on the squad’s website at: www.warrensburgems.org The website provides information on the organization as well as photographs of the squad’s many community-related activities.

Warrensburg Emergency Medical Services personnel respond during a mock drunk driving crash drill conducted this past year. The “Emergency medical services is a very rewarding and fulfilling field to emergency squad, one of the busiest in the area, is now seeking volunteer drivers, EMT trainees and other help. get into,” Emerson concluded.

Burghers take third in Saranac wrestling tourney

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

SARANAC — The Warrensburg wrestling team started off their 2015 season on a promising note Dec. 5 as they placed third in the annual Saranac Early Bird Tournament.

Leading the effort were Zach Davis and Trevor Winchell who won championships in their respective weight classes.

Both of these athletes were named Adirondack League AllStars last season.

Davis, a freshman, took first place at 120 pounds. He pinned all three of his opponents by lifting them up into the air and lowering them to the mat in sudden, surprise movements catching them off-guard, Warrensburg coach Mark

Trapasso said.

“Zach is a ‘thrower’ — he loves to put his opponents on their back from their feet,” he said.

Winchell, a sophomore, took first place at 106 pounds.

Trapasso said Winchell has boosted his skills this year, primarily by wrestling with some aggressive workout partners in practice.

“Trevor is a tough, mature lightweight,” he said. Both Davis and Winchell have wrestled varsity for two years.

Also contributing points for Warrensburg in the tournament were Hunter McKenna, Jack Binder and Gary Hill — all who placed second in their respective weight classes.

McKenna, who wrestled at 99 pounds, is a 7th grader who Trapasso said has a “great future” in the sport.

Jack Binder wrestled at 195, and Gary Hill, at 285. Trapasso praised these two, both sophomores, as solid athletes.

Saranac won their tournament and Noble of Maine placed second.

Next up for the Burghers is a meet Thursday Dec. 10 against Salem, away, at 6 p.m. followed by the Duanesburg Duals at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015; then against Granville High School Tuesday, Dec. 15.

Trapasso said that his team’s showing at the Saranac Tournament was respectable, and that he and his assistant coaches are confident the WCS wrestlers will be working hard in practice to build their skills and strength in the coming weeks.

“We’re a young team,” he said. “We hope to keep it all together and improve.”

Holiday spirit shines on Warrensburg thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — The 2015 edition of Christmas in Warrensburgh, complete with an expanded roster of activities and sunny warm weather last weekend, proved popular with people from near and far, event organizer Teresa Whalen said Wednesday.

The annual two-day event has for decades focused on mountain-town holiday traditions.

“Toyland was absolutely mobbed on Saturday,” Whalen said, referring to the town hall which is converted for one day per year into holiday headquarters.

She said hundreds of children from local communities and from afar enjoyed Toyland’s craft sessions, and visits with Santa and his live reindeer.

Whalen said it was the warmest-ever edition of Christmas in Warrenburgh, which was held this year on Dec. 5 and 6.

“People were in the Christmas spirit despite the lack of snow — they were enjoying the sights and sounds of Christmas, including Santa and his reindeer, the live nativity, the holiday market, the various activities, and the Warrensburg school bands and choruses which were performing throughout town,” she said. “We had a great crowd.”

One of the new attractions was Craig Wright and his chainsaw carving demonstrations — he sculpted several bears from tree trunks in front of the two new stores across from the town’s Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand — the new Lotus thrift and Deadwood Mountain trading.

A tree lighting ceremony Saturday night at the bandstand featured local boy and girl scout troops not only decorating the town Christmas tree, but singing carols with dozens listening. In this ceremony, town supervisor Kevin Geraghty welcomed the event attendees, noting how proud townspeople were of the newly renovated bandstand, a memorial to Warrensburg’s world renowned pioneer aviator.

Also, dozens of people enjoyed mule-powered wagon rides provided for the festival by Todd Olden of Our Simple LIfe Farm and his Belgian draft mules.

The craft sessions included gingerbread house decorating, miniature watercolor and Origami crafting, oldtime wooden toy making, and fashioning of evergreen Christmas decorations.

The holiday craft fair on Sunday was very popular, exposing the public to the wares and works of various talented local artisans, Whalen said.

It was a beautiful day — people were all over town and they were embracing the holiday spirit,” she concluded.

Stannard << Continued from | p. 1

She’d been working every job she could at Ridin’ Hy Ranch, from lifeguard to housekeeping, waiting tables to wrangling in the barn. She was babysitting and taking on any odd job she could.

At 17, Theresa sold Satin Beauty and borrowed money to buy 4-year-old Pete.

Getting faster, Pete and a fateful week It was on Pete, now 26 and retired to Theresa’s back field, that she began competing in barrel racing.

“I never won money on Pete until the week my uncle Bill died,” she stated, with silence to follow during an interview in her home this week.

She doesn’t need to say another word to explain the impact Ryder continues to have on her life.

It’s on her face and it’s in her daily life, working on her horse three or four times a week, and a newly installed booth at her ranch overlooking the ring carries Bill’s name.

“He was a huge inspiration. He’s a huge influence,” she said, poring over photos of the day her husband and sons, Colton and Tristan, surprised her with the booth dedicated to Bill.

The week he died unexpectedly in a car crash was the same

week she was to leave for college in Brockport, having completed two years at SUNY Adirondack. It was there, her life took direction into law enforcement.

The long gray line She took her state police test while still in college, earning a spot in the academy at age 24.

“People are familiar with the ‘thin blue line’,” she said, but New York State Troopers know the term long gray line.

“The uniforms haven’t changed since they were started in 1917,” she said, noting it was two women that took charge in the department’s creation.

The “Gray Rider” monument stands at the State Police Academy in Albany, and helped the Stannards arrive at the name Grayrider Ranch, now with a sprawling 200 acres off Igerna Road.

Theresa said discipline is the common theme between her racing and police work. Both also require confidence, which seems odd that for, at least a brief moment, Theresa felt lacking in that category.

Niks and the pro circuit Today, she races 8-year-old Niks, purchased six years ago as a “green” horse.

Published by Denton Publications, Inc.

“I think he had 30 days of riding,” she recalled of her first days with him. She wasn’t sure right away how he’d end up as a racer.

“He needed to mature physically and mentally,” she said.

There came a time, though, when Niks was turning 5 and she was pregnant with her now- 3-year-old, she took him for training to have him ready for racing by the time she was ready to ride.

With the baby in a stroller, she’d squeeze in workouts with Niks, in between her 12-hour shifts on duty.

It’s that kind of dedication that led her down the next successful path and had her in the running for Rookie of the Year with the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.

“At first I thought, I can’t compete with those girls,” she said of the first idea at earning her pro card.

To do so, she’d have to get a permit, renewing it every year until she’d earned $1,000 in winnings on the pro circuit. At that time, she could essentially “go pro.”

It took her just seven months.

George says she’s humble, but he knew all along she had it.

Through the summer, her times placed her among the best in competition around the Northeast. She was looking like the woman to beat as she held the top-spot for Rookie of the Year.

That dream was dashed when Niks had a temporary health issue, easily fixed once Theresa figured it out.

“He’s my partner. I have to listen to him,” she said, but for a bit, she didn’t understand why he would sometimes not cooperate, when others he was dead-on.

“He had a little trickle of blood on his nose,” she said. It tipped her off to an issue he was having when adrenaline would expand his capillaries, giving him the sensation in his lungs that he was drowning.

A simple shot remedied that, though the races she lost in the meantime bumped her out of contention.

She ended the 2015 year ranked 341 in the country and 19 in the First Frontier Division, comprised of competitors from Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.

Competing with other top ranked women has further raised Theresa’s competitive spirit.

The 2016 year began in October and she’s off to a great start, placing second at the Adirondack Stampede Charity Rodeo in Glens Falls last month.

The world championship for barrel racing is held each year in Las Vegas. When asked if she’d like to be there some day, she just smiles.

“Yeah, that’d be nice.”

Mikelean Allen, a substitute teacher at Warrensburg Central and production manager for the Warrensburg Drama Club, is leading the campaign. In October, she made a presentation to the Warrensburg school board to inspire them to approve constructing the venue, and the concept is now under preliminary consideration.

“A professionally designed auditorium is a facility the community really needs,” she said. “It would benefit students in drama and music programs — it’s a totally different experience to act or sing onstage in an auditorium with proper acoustics and theater seating — and it would allow the audience to see and hear performances so much better.”

She also noted that an auditorium would enhance lo-

cal students’ academics, too, by providing a far better setting for presentations, testing events, conferences and assemblies.

“Students could better hear and see what’s going on in front of them,” she said, noting that she first thought of the idea while attending a choral concert in May, and giant portable fans were blowing on the audience to provide relief from oppressive heat.

A well-appointed auditorium, like the ones at Lake George High School and North Warren Central that have been well-utilized for decades, would also enrich the lives of community members, Allen said.

“An auditorium would bring new arts and culture experiences to Warrensburg for the whole community to enjoy,” she said, noting that the stage in the cafetorium has inadequate storage, antiquated technology and com-

promised safety.

Allen said that the high school drama club has provided lifetime memories for dozens of students. In total, 350 students in the school are involved in musical or drama programs, nearly every student enrolled, she continued.

Warrensburg’s drama productions and musical presentations have won accolades for nearly 20 years — since Jim Corriveau was hired to be vocal music instructor in the school district, and he launched an ambitious drama program.

His student musical productions have featured live music performed by ensembles of professional musicians — and he’s teamed up his vocal groups with college choirs for performances.

Corriveau said this week he supported the idea of an auditorium, but he wanted Allen to be quoted on the concept. Corriveau and Al-

len said the plan is to convert the existing high school gymnasium into an auditorium, and build a new gym just south of the existing one. Building a new gymnasiums — and converting an auditorium into a gym, they said, can be bankrolled primarily with state aid, while constructing an auditorium wouldn’t qualify for state aid.

Corriveau has noted that if Warrensburg doesn’t take advantage of the available state aid for an auditorium, the cash will go elsewhere.

Allen observed that a school auditorium would alleviate existing scheduling conflicts with meetings, sports, drama, dances, concerts and meals — often needing the cafetorium and the gymnasiums at the same time..

Coaches at the school have noted that if a new gym were constructed with state money, it could include a muchneeded weight room and

storage space. Others have suggested the facility could also incorporate a new room for wrestlers — who are now cramped into a space not much larger than an average residential living room.

Warrensburg alumnus Gabe McGlire, a 2012 WCS graduate, said he was “extremely excited” about the proposal for his alma mater to host an auditorium, especially because the drama productions at the school have been “outstanding.”

“The drama club was a second family for me during my three years of being in productions,” he said, noting the friendships he developed through the drama curriculum and experiences with the group were a prominent element of his high school years.

Fellow alumni Blake Vaisey also expressed support for constructing an auditorium, in a posting at iPetitions.com.

“This is something that Warrensburg has needed for years,” Vaisey said. “The drama and music programs have more than earned this, and it would be great to get them a place to be able to achieve their maximum potential.”

Others noted that a real stage boosted student performers’ confidence, inspiring them to ever-greater achievements.

“There needs to be an environment for students to properly perform,” another alumni posted.

Susan Miller, whose children attended Warrensburg schools, also offered her thoughts online.

“With all of the wonderful productions at the high school, an auditorium is a must! It would certainly lend itself to many other activities,” she said.

Several of those posting comments noted that the high school’s dual-purpose “cafetorium” was a concession to avoid a small hike in property taxes associated with a real auditorium when the high school was constructed in the mid-1990s, and that it is woefully inadequate.

On Facebook, Allison Lanfear posted her thoughts.

“The music department at WCS is beyond fantastic and the students, faculty, and community of this district deserve to have a space created to showcase the talents and efforts of so many students in an environment that is of the highest quality,” she said. “This space would offer enhanced acoustic quality, storage space for costumes, props, and instruments, and comfortable seating for audience members. This is a much needed renovation and would overall provide a positive artistic atmosphere for this community.”

Books available THURMAN — To supplement our supply of free seasonal books, TBC has purchased a selection of books about Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanza from the Saratoga Library used bookstore.

The Thurman Book Connection will be helping at the Saturday, Dec. 12 children’s party, giving out books, encouraging children to chose books as gifts for family members and helping them wrap their books to take home.

WCS names scholar athlete teams WARRENSBURG — Officials of the Warrensburg Central School District have announced the scholar athlete teams for the fall season. To be recognized as an NYSPHSAA scholar athlete team, teams need to have a required number of players whose GPA, when averaged together, is 90 or higher.

(Two of the teams are comprised of students from the Bolton Central School District due to the merger). The teams include: Bolton boys varsity cross country, Bolton varsity field hockey, BoltonWarrensburg boys varsity soccer and WarrensburgBolton varsity volleyball.

All-Star Burgher athlete breaks two school basketball records

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

CORINTH — The All-Star Warrensburg basketball player drove past her Corinth opponents to score a layup Dec. 8, and her hometown fans roared.

The game was stopped at 2:44 remaining in the second quarter, and the Burgher coach and the athlete’s family members gathered at mid-court to congratulate her.

It was a scene few athletes have ever experienced, but familiar to Warrensburg Senior Erin Langworthy, as she attained the highest score of all time in girls basketball for Warrensburg Central School. In the Corinth game, she broke the record that Crystal Stone set with 1439 points in the mid-1990s.

“Your family, coaches, teammates, school, and community are extremely proud of your efforts on and off the court,” Burgher coach Scott Smith said as he presented her with the game-ball at center court.

Langworthy and the other athletes resumed the game; and with her teammates continuing to feed her the ball, she sank many more shots from all over the court. When the final buzzer sounded, she had broken another school record, the all-time single game scoring tally for a player in girls basketball — 51 points, and had advanced her career total to 1,463 points.

Langworthy’s teammates stepped out from the Corinth locker room and paused to talk about the accomplishment, with the 66-27 score in lights overhead on the scoreboard.

“It felt really good to be a part of this effort — pushing in transition and working towards the boards tonight — helping

her work towards her record,” junior forward Britanny Frasier said.

“We’re all good friends,” Starr Hughes added. “We pushed the tempo to get her open so she could score her points.”

“It makes me happy to know we helped Erin reach her goal and towards many other future goals,” junior Madison Sheridan said.

“We worked as a team to help Erin because we know how much she loves basketball,” multi-sport athlete Ryley Scott said.

Being presented a game-ball at center court is a familiar experience for Langworthy — last January, she was similarly honored for reaching 1,000 points, alongside five other girls basketball players — not only Stone, Jill Toney, Rachelle Black and Judi Durkin, but also her mother, Amy Monroe Langworthy.

Erin’s next goal, she said Tuesday, is to surpass the all-time career scoring tally for both boys and girls basketball, a record of 1,563 points held by Terry Kollman, Erin’s great-uncle.

“It’s do-able,” she said, adding that she’s also gunning for the single-game point record for both boys and girls basketball, now held by Shea Irish, who hit 60 points in a game last season against Hartford. Already, Langworthy has twice been named both Adirondack League MVP and an All-State First team member by sportswriters statewide.

Grinning as she spun the game ball in her hands after the matchup, Langworthy shared her thoughts.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my teammates, coaches, family and community,” she said. “I was nervous before this game, but after my first several shots, I settled down.”

Smith, who is Warrensburg Central’s athletic director as well as varsity girls basketball coach, praised Langworthy for her signature abilities — not only her deadeye outside shooting and how she eludes defenders as she drives to the basket, but also how she draws fouls, then sinks a high percentage of her free throws. In the Corinth game, Langworthy scored 13 foul shots as well as 16 two-pointers and two from beyond the arc.

“We’re proud of Erin — she

Committee to meet LAKE GEORGE — The joint committee on occupancy tax for the town and village of Lake George has announced they will hear applicants’ presentations Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the Lake George Town Hall.

Cochairs Supervisor Dennis Dickinson and Mayor Bob Blais have announced a deadline of Thursday, Dec. 31, for all applications seeking funding for 2016 events. The Committee has already received over 25 applications for amounts ranging from $1,000 to $24,000.

Members of the committee in addition to the supervisor and mayor are Councilman Vinnie Spitzer, Trustee John Root and business owners Carollee LaBruzzo, Dave Menter and Joseph DeSantis. For any questions call Blais 668-5771.

works so hard toward her goals and the team’s accomplishments, and she’s so humble,” Smith said. “And her teammates deserve credit for feeding her the ball, sacrificing their own statistics so she could surpass the record.”

In the game’s scoring, Brittany Frasier contributed with 5 points, Zoe Morgan with 4. Starr Hughes, Ryley Scott and Madison Sheridan each hit a two-pointer. Brooke Emery led Corinth with 11 points.

The Burghers are now 2-1 in Adirondack League play and 3-2 overall — but face a lineup of talented teams in the months to come, Smith said.

“Hopefully we can take this momentum and carry it forward through the season,” he said, noting that North Warren and Lake George are both very strong, experienced teams.

EYE ON THE ARTS

LINDA DOLLY

> Arts Editor

linda@suncommunitynews.com

I heart u!

I love the collective us, those who live in Northern New York.

There is no reason to tiptoe around the subject: we know it, and they know it. The people from the country, or even the suburbs, are different than those who live in urban environments.

Some say the difference is because we don’t have the same opportunities as urbanites; others think it’s because they don’t have the same opportunities we enjoy. Both are probably true.

Awesome After living in large cities, small cities, the suburbs and rural areas, I believe rural areas have a disproportionate number of people who go above what is required. Because of their moxie, leadership skills or cleverness they bring a spark, and because of it, the event or project is even better.

Baby, it’s dark out there For example, we see more stars than those living in a city, it’s a fact. On a clear night, free of light pollution, we can see galaxies of stars. Not everyone has access to a majestic evening sky — it’s a lifestyle choice.

displays featuring local history. Discounts are also available at the in-house gift shop.

Gordie, please pass the yellow crayon However, those historians weren’t satisfied. They wanted to make their open house even better.

They “turned up the volume” by inviting a local man about town: Gordie Little. Little is curious by nature, so he will be stopping by the open house on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 1 to 3 p.m. After checking his favorite exhibits, Little will sign copies of his recently-published coloring book for adults. The book, titled “Little’s G littles,” can be purchased at the museum store. The Clinton County Museum is located at 98 Ohio Avenue in Plattsburgh. For more information about this program, please contact the Clinton County Historical Association at 561-0340.

A few more notes The Keene Valley Congregational Church will be jamming when the Market Street Brass performs a mix of seasonal music. The six local musicians are from Keene, Keene Valley, and Chestertown.

The ensemble will assemble in Keene Valley on Dec. 20 at 4 p.m. Students are free and there is a suggested donation of $10 for others.

Kicking it up In Tupper Lake, there are numerous wild places to see amazing twinklings from above. However, it wasn’t enough for some people in Tupper Lake — they want more. As a result of their desire and tenacity coupled with member donations, they kicked it up a bit.

Now Tupper Lake has a place called the Adirondack Public Observatory (APO).

Additionally, there is an affiliated outdoor space called Roll Off the Roof Observatory (RORO). I assume the name came from the extremely steep roof. At ROR, they offer free public stargazings with an astronomer and the use of some of their equipment.

Dolly’s Word: On Northern Highlights

Falalalalala Three dynamic musical groups will take the stage for a free concert at St. Peter’s Church on Cornelia Street in Plattsburgh on Saturday, Dec. 12. Champlain Valley’s Sweet Carolines, who we all know and love, are presenting a program called “Towne Meeting.” The outfit is known for their powerful vocal harmonies, eclectic musical styles and their wicked sense of humor. As if that wasn’t enough, the Cumberland Bay Show Chorus is also in the lineup.

Don’t miss this heartwarming musical event for the entire family.

Thought from around the campfire Several years ago, we had some friends visit. They were from a densely populated area. While they were here, we didn’t do anything special, just the usual country stuff. On the way home, smelling like a campfire, Jack made an observation: “All your friends tell a good story.”

I hadn’t realized it before, but I knew he was right.

“We spend time outside looking at stars, walking in the woods, and like tonight, encircling a bonfire,” I said. “We are frequently in situations that encourage conversation. We’ve had practice telling tales and spinning yarns.”

In the not too distant future, I will be describing’s the night I saw the Geminids meteors, you can take my word for it.

I frequently use information sent to me by our readers — put your newest adventure or upcoming activity into the mix. My email is linda@suncommunitynews.

Thanks for sending in your ideas, you people are awesome!

Museum celebration The Clinton County Historical Association will present their annual Holiday Open House at the Clinton County Museum.

THE LARGEST SOURCE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

Star light, star bright At the same time I discovered the observatory, I read about the Geminids Meteor Shower, which is happening now. The observation area will not be open to the public that night. It will be up to you to see the light show, if interested, pay attention.

The Geminids meteors are bright and appear multicolored, which is a bonus for an already spectacular event. These meteors seem to originate from the Gemini constellation (look it up) and span from Dec. 7 - 17. At the peak, Sunday, Dec. 12 and Monday, Dec. 13, on a clear night there will be around 120 sightings per hour.

Optimum visibility is either mid-evening, between 9 to 10 p.m., or between midnight and dawn. The waxing crescent moon provides a cover of darkness for the meteor shower.

Remember: You want a clear night. Next, find a location void of extraneous lights. Finally, look up.

Affiliates of the observatory: Way to bring it by sharing the information!

Thank you.

Fifty Years Ago – December, 1965

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur and Sharon Klussendorf tendered a party to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Edwin and Ann Hunter Jr., of 11 Richards Avenue, Warrensburg. The party was held at Harry’s Chordial Inn, formerly Andy and Bill’s Tavern, on Saturday evening, Nov. 20, 1965 and about 75 people were present. The couple was married in Poultney, Vt., on Nov. 23, 1940 and they have one daughter, Sharon Klussendorf and two grandchildren, Karla and Arthur Klussendorf.

(Note – Edwin and Ann Hunter were former owners of the Warrensburg Laundry.)

Turning Back The Pages

Warrensburg Town Hall opens Congressman Carleton J. King has sent an American flag which formerly flew over the U.S. Capitol for use at the new Albert L. Emerson Memorial Town Hall, Supervisor Charles Hastings announced on Dec. 8, 1965. Adolphus “Dolly” Harrington is custodian and he will be in charge of raising and lowering the flag. Supervisor Hastings said that the new town hall building has been completed and the furniture will be moved in this week and an open house is planned for Dec. 17, 1965. Mr. Emerson died in August, 1963 and left $150,000 in his will to be used for the erection of the building. He was president of the Emerson Nation al Bank from 1936 to 1963.

A portrait of the late Mr. Emerson painted by the well known artist David Johnson was commissioned by former supervisor, Lee Orton. Nicola and Lina Squillaci, local art dealers said that the painting will be delivered in time to be hung before the open house.

(Note - The Albert Emerson Memorial Town Hall now stands on land that was once the site of the Burhans mansion which was erected in 1865 on the hill, behind the new town, hall for Col. Benjamin Peck Burhans’ son, Frederick O. Burhans. The building was torn down in the mid 1960’s.)

Beloved supervisor dies A large number of people attended funeral services for DeWitt C. Tremaine, 65, of Stony Creek, Chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, Saturday, Nov. 30, 1965, at the Orton and McCloskey Funeral Home, in Warrensburg.

Officiating was the Rev. W. Elwood Selleck, former pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Warrensburg.

Mr. Tremaine suffered a heart attack while working at the Municipal Center in September, 1965 and was a patient for several weeks at the Corinth Hospital where he died Nov. 24, 1965 of pneumonia. He had been supervisor of Stony Creek since 1954.

Jean Hadden > Columnist jhadden1@nycap.rr.com

Survivors include his wife, Grace Tremaine and two sons, DeWitt C. and Orlin Tremaine and nine grandchildren. Burial was in the Stony Creek Cemetery. (Note – Clarence White was elected to succeed Mr. Tremaine as supervisor of Stony Creek.)

Nellie Pasco dies

Adirondack warfare

Mrs. Nellie M. Pasco, wife of Lafayette Pasco, 33 King Street, Warrensburg, died at her home Saturday evening, Nov. 27, 1965 after a long illness.

Survivors are two sons, Harold P. and Merwyn Pasco, two daughters, Mrs. Bernard Pollak and Mrs. Sumner Cowden, Jr., also two grandchildren. Burial was in theWarrensburg Cemetery.

According to Adirondack Sportsman and columnist Bill Roden, several years ago Conservation Commissioner Harold G. Wilm created a furor when he announced the closing of over a hundred roads and trails on State land throughout the Adirondack Forest Preserve to motor vehicles of all sorts.

Now, in 1965, there has been an announcement by the commissioner that certain additional roads and trails in the Forest Preserve will be closed to snowmobiles.

Dr. Harold G. Wilm is reported to be leaving his post as State Conservation Commissioner by the end of 1965 according to the Albany Times Union.

Lady flying high Mrs. Edna Bruce, just back from a short Florida vacation, saw the launching of Gemini 7 from a window of the plane in which she was traveling. “Fantastic,” was the way she described its appearance from 25,000 feet altitude.

Gala winter parade planned

Sweet and sour notes

To commence Warrensburg’s winter program a snow parade is planned to be held in Warrensburg on Jan. 8, 1966 to start at 3 p.m. The Warren County Sheriff ’s Mounted Patrol on horseback, with Supervisors Charles Hastings, Sterling Goodspeed and Spencer LaFlure from the three surrounding towns and horses from the local ranches in full regalia will take part.

Dick Potter and his buddies, which includs Dale and Barry Aldrich and Tommy Bennett, bagged four fine deer last weekend.

At Jacobs and Toney IGA store, in Warrensburg, chuck roast is on sale for 39 cents a pound and Campbell’s Tomato is 9 cents a can.
