OLMSTEDVILLE | For nearly 25 years, the schools at Minerva and Newcomb have shared student athletes in order to have enough players to fill out the roster in team sports. Separated by 22 mountainous miles, the relationship established a close bond between the communities among students, parents and fans. But at an emotional meeting last Tuesday in the Minerva gymnasium, a crowd of about 75 people was told by Minerva Superintendent Timothy Farrell that there’s a real possibility that the school will pull out of the Newcomb partnership and send its athletes to play sports at Johnsburg, which is both larger and closer. The reality, Farrell said, is that student populations and participation in sports at Minerva and Newcomb are declining, and even with the partnership, there will likely come a day when there aren’t enough kids to form a team. » Split decision Cont. on pg. 2
CHESTERTOWN | Loretta Prosser of Pottersville and Bruce Bartlett watched their 4-year-old child Jace Prosser talk to Santa about his Christmas wishes 20 minutes after the red-suited oversized elf was delivered to town offices via firetruck for his annual visit. Prosser and Bartlett were near the front of a long line snaking through the municipal center’s hallways — children, with their parents, waiting for a conversation with Santa. “This brings a lot of joy to the kids,” Loretta Prosser said, guessing that her son asked for a monster truck or a fourwheeler. “This gets everyone in the holiday spirit.” Bartlett said that as a child, he annually visited Santa, and it was great for the new generation to follow the tradition. “It lets people know there’s still goodwill in the world,” he said. “This event also gets people out to spend time with each other, sharing their thoughts and feelings.” Held Dec. 8, the local visit with Santa has been sponsored for 40-plus years by the Chestertown Rotary Club. Long-time club member Larry Hodgson watched the 100 or so children waiting patiently in line a half-hour after Santa’s arrival.
