Krystal expansion Project nears completion
Warrensburg sets goals for 2016
By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — If a new proposal becomes reality, Warrensburg residents will have a new recreational venue where they can socialize — and their canine companions will also, as they get some beneficial exercise. When the Warrensburg Town Board convened Dec. 16 to set goals for 2016, they decided to explore an proposal submitted by town Deputy Supervisor John Alexander — to develop a municipal dog park. Alexander noted this week how a fenced-in dog park was a very popular venue in various other municipalities. “People elsewhere really love these dog parks — it’s a social thing — and it would be ideal for Warrensburg, with all its >> Story Continued | pg. 15
Warrensburg Central School technology students are giving back what they learned in class this holiday season. Mr. Donato’s eighth grade technology students have been learning skills including measuring, sawing, and safety by making wooden toys over the past few weeks. Each student produced at least one toy, while some students made several toys; a total of 60 toys. The toys will be donated and distributed by the TCT Federal Credit Union and the Salvation Army Christmas Collection. “The students not only learned valuable skills, but will experience the joy of giving and thinking of others,” said Donato.

Cycle ADK bike route to begin, end in Hadley-Lake Luzerne By Christina Scanlon

KEESEVILLE — It’s eight months away, but the excitement is already building for the 2016 Cycle Adirondacks tour. The route for the weeklong event, which returns in August after its successful debut last year, was unveiled last week by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The event, which was broadcast live from the Ad-
irondack Architectural Heritage office, drew views from around the globe. “We’ve had incredible feedback,” said Doug Haney, event manager. Less than a week later, cyclists from 18 different states and British Columbia had already registered for the tour which takes place Aug. 20-27. It’s not just the cyclists who are eagerly awaiting the event. Officials and residents along the tour will be preparing to welcome the guests in
their communities. “Cycle Adirondacks had such a positive influence,” said Mark Hall, former town >> Story Continued | pg. 7

Joint committee to hear applicants LAKE GEORGE — The joint committee on occupancy tax for the town and village of Lake George has announced they will hear presentations from applicants Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the 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 more than 25 applications for amounts ranging from $1,000 to $24,000. Blais reported that special emphasis this year will be placed on the expected impact on overnight stays, time of the year, advertising outside a 50 mile area and the quality of the event and how it enhances the family tourism image. Several new events are planned as well as others returning for the last several years. “The occupancy tax has been a great asset to attract new events and support existing ones,” Blais said. 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. Those with questions should call Blais at 668-5771.

Expansion plans at Krystal Chrysler nears completion
By Christina Scanlon
christina@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — Krystal Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Warrensburg has a problem. “But I guess if you have to have one, this is a good one to have,” said Andy Studler, service manager. The growth of the company has them bursting at the seams. They’ve doubled in sales and service in the last five years and nearly doubled their number of employees. They are currently ranked second in customer satisfaction out of 80 dealerships in their region, with a hopeful eye on taking over the top spot but the end of the month. All that business, like Studler said, is a good thing, but was causing some back-ups in the service side. “We had a two week wait for oil changes,” said Studler of
their busiest and most challenging times in the service department. They improved, bumping wait times to a few days and currently, they can sometimes take people right away, other times there’s an hours-long wait. It’s an issue thats about to be behind them as the new threebay garage is completed, with an anticipated open date of Jan. 4. With it, comes a state-of-the-art alignment system, one of only two in the area, said Studler. Express lube service will now be available. To offer the express lube, two new mechanics were hired, going through an intensive three-day training on every make and model vehicle. “Any car, we’ll have in and out in 30 minutes,” said Studler. The service comes with a complete check-over of the vehicle and price are comparable, if not cheaper, than many around, said Studler. Another newly hired crew member will specialize in vehicle detailing. While Studler is excited for the expansion, what has made the location a success is not new. “It’s pretty simple,” he said. “You just make people happy.”

Warm Wishes
his time of year we all think about others and putting a smile on the faces of those we love. Many feel even happier when they can create that smile for a perfect stranger. Giving and caring are the hallmarks of our nation. Despite the often combative and competitive nature of people in the media spotlight these days, beneath the visible crust is a nation of everyday people, going about their lives doing the small things that make our nation special. The holidays are all about hope, faith and love. It’s a time for giving and receiving, a time for friends and family and it’s a time to remember the true meaning of the season. For many it’s about how a small child born in a manger over 2000 years ago changed our world forever with a simple message. We hear a lot these days about apostasy, which is the term given to people turning away from any religious affiliation. For years we’ve heard the cry about the commercialization of Christmas and the effect it was having on the reason for season. The reality of life and religion can not be classified by terms or affiliations. Jesus made it very clear. Religion is all about how we care for each other and how we take care of those who are in need. He didn’t care what you called yourself, your state of life nor your position in society. In his eyes, all were equal. Religion is more about what’s in your heart and how you conduct your life which is why this is a season for all men and women of goodwill; Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Atheist or Agnostic. Practicing an organized faith works perfectly for many Americans, but at the end of time we will all be judged not by our affiliation but by how we conducted our affairs here on earth. Gifting friends and family and treating them with respect throughout the year is important but how we choose to treat and respect the perfect strangers we come across says more about who you are than anything else you do. So let’s not get too caught up in all the crazy stuff we hear flying around in the media pitting one against another. We need to stay focused on making our world a better place every minute of every day. If we do that, everything else will take care of itself. On behalf of the Sun Community News & Printing staff and family I would like to wish you, your family and your community a very joyous and safe holiday, a prosperous new year and wish that we are all granted lives of joy, peace and caring. May God bless us all. Dan Alexander is CEO of Sun Community News

What makes our tiny communities so special is you
E
very year is busy. This has been no exception. Alongside the heavy-duty events that have recalibrated our national discourse — fear is in, economic concerns have taken a backseat — several local stories have emerged that will make likely make 2015 more memorable for historians. Two killers escaped from Dannemora, leading to a three-week manhunt that held the region captive and brought the nation’s attention to our otherwise sedate doorstep. We’ve seen the shocking fall of state and local officials, including those who have held hallowed roles right here in our very own backyards. Our local athletic teams came close to statewide victory, with most falling heartbreakingly short. Controversy swirled as a college attempted to rename themselves after a donor, giving birth to another round of impassioned discussion that has come to characterize North Country discourse. The seeds have been planted for sweeping statewide legislation, including minimum wage reform. Voters headed to the polls in local elections, dashing dreams and giving birth to others. Several legendary local leaders have retired. One village has dissolved and another has voted to follow in its footsteps. Fires have reshaped neighborhoods. Businesses have come and gone. Local emergency squads have pulled themselves back from the brink. And the tax cap continues to reshape life here in a place where life has never come easy. And of course, this weekly newspaper has seen our own rebranding, our own sun rising, casting rays over this dynamic, always-interesting landscape. Perhaps this is all just business as usual: The days creep by and some changes appear to be more sweeping than others. But the biggest stories this year are yours. We’re always amazed at the North Country’s penchant for helping others — Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. You. We’re inspired and moved by your selfless efforts. This year, we’ve witnessed schools being reborn from ash in Ticonderoga. We’ve watched as committed volunteers have raised barns from once-fallow fields in Essex; constructed community pavilions from donations in Wadhams; reignited dreams in Newcomb and created civic institutions from the recesses of their memories in Keeseville. You stepped to the plate to salvage a field trip to Washington, D.C. after a roaming charlatan raided your trust. We sat back in awe as teachers and student associations stuck up for alienated students. You’ve rallied for teachers across the region and walked alongside an educator from Saranac Lake to Albany in her quest to remedy injustice. You have filled food pantries, adopted children, started charitable programs, helped drug-addicted prison inmates, filled backpacks with food and stepped forward to fill vacant positions in all manner of civic organizations, from fire departments to ambulance squads. You have raised thousands for local families in need, constructed libraries in neglected communities and breathed technicolor into sleepy locales by way of regular cultural series. As public officials, you’ve have made it rain for your constituents. Through your efforts, funds have come in to raise the quality of life for those who
haven’t always had a voice. Communities have been linked in, wired and drawn closer to the world. We’ve slimmed down and have been enticed into making healthier lifestyle choices. As religious leaders, you’ve guided your flocks through these turbulent times. You’ve brought us closer to a moral center through both word and deed, including selfless acts like offering tickets to Pope Francis during his historic trip to the US. As veterans, you have humbly recounted stories from the battlefield, from the fronts of Europe to the scorched earth of Vietnam, while asking for nothing in return. And as just regular folks, you’ve inspired us. It’s been an interesting year. But only because of you. Thanks and happy holidays. See you in 2016.

ItÕ sÊ coolÊ today... To the editor: Honoring a 20-year-old promise (or was it a dare?) to perform in Harold Pinter’s first play, “The Room,” I’ve spent much of November in The Wooster Group’s Performing Garage in New York City, longing for home. Each week the “Leaving Adirondack Park” sign in Queensbury gets me down. I signed on to the project last year, as a commitment to the experimental theater company I was part of for many years. So here I am, writing the Upper Jay Art Center’s end-of year fundraising appeal from a noisy railroad flat on the Lower East Side. If I were younger, this would be really cool. But I’m not younger. Cool today, for my money, is a sweaty crowd dancing to a 13-piece Latin orchestra at The Recovery Lounge. (Thank you, Peg Wilson and Bob Andrews.) Cool is Maeve and Zoe Brammer bravely joining the cast of 16 in Caryl Churchill’s play “Love and Information,” directed by James Coleman. Cool is watching Liza Amirault growing up each year behind the microphone at the January Jams. And major cool is running into my pal Frank Owen at Stewart’s on a sunny day, laughing about a brief, brief-less appearance as King Lear I have been begging him to make at the Lounge someday (another dare). I am pleased to be using the phrase “10th anniversary” for the last time. It’s been a banner year, starting with grilled cheese sandwiches, beer, and Peter Landau’s brilliant public audition as a stubborn opossum. Thank you to everyone who participated in our 10th anniversary fundraising campaign-to those who gave, those who came, and those who gave again. It never stops, this asking for help. Think of it as a gift to the community. Your way to support the place where we gather to celebrate, relax and recover. That would be cool. Scott Renderer Artistic Director Upper Jay

QuitÊ smokingÊ forÊ NewÊ YearÕ s To the editor: Thinking About Quitting for the New Year? If you are a smoker thinking about quitting for the New Year, here are a few things you can do to before New Year’s Day to increase your chances of quitting for good. 1) Talk to your doctor or counselor – many North Country providers have made treating tobacco dependence a priority and are ready to help you be successful. 2) Ask about medications that can help – using medication can double your chances of becoming a former smoker. Even if you’ve tried a medication before and think it didn’t work, talk to your doctor about it anyway. There may be new options you can try. 3) Call the NYS Smokers’ Quitline at 866-NY-Quits – you’ll be able to talk to a cessation counselor who can help you make a plan, plus you may be eligible for a free 2-week supply of the nicotine patch. 4) Visit BecomeAnEX.org – this is a great website that can help you prepare to “become an ex.” 5) Identify your triggers and have a plan for dealing with those when your quit day arrives - each time you light up a cigarette, notice how you are feeling and what’s happening around you. What time is it? How strong is the urge? Write it down. After a couple of days, review what you have written and think about what you will do instead, starting New Year’s Day, when those moments or scenarios arise.
6) Tell family and friends about your resolution – find the people who will be supportive, and make a plan for being around people who may trigger an urge to smoke. Whether you decide to quit for New Year’s, or another day, remember that quitting for good is tough, but very possible with some planning, medication and support. Ann Morgan, project coordinator North Country Healthy Heart Network Saranac Lake
GratitudeÊ goesÊ toÊ theÊ wholeÊ community To the editor: We cannot begin to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in The Magic of Christmas in Essex this year.

We would like to acknowledge the following for their efforts: all of the visiting vendors and downtown Essex businesses (Adirondack Art Association, Pink Pig Antiques and Café, Essex Ice Cream Café, Neighborhood Nest, Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness, ReNew, the Cupola House, College for Every Student, Essex Inn, Essex Community Church and the Belden Noble Library) for being open and for decorating, a huge thank you to Jay and Sarah White for all they did to make this event possible, Susan Hughes and the Pleasant Valley Chorale for their beautiful music, Tom and Mary Ann Mangano for their PR help, Colleen and Jim VanHoven, Drew Reithel of the Willsboro Diner for preparing the pancake breakfast, the members of the Essex F&A Masons and Ron Jackson, Frank Wahls and the Essex Volunteer Fire Department for all of their support, the Essex Beautification Committee and Boquet Valley Blooms for the festive decorations and greenery, Norma Goff and the members of the Essex Community Church, Hillary Stransky, Emily Phillips and the members of Essex Initiatives, Steven Kellogg for sharing his imagination and creativity with us, Supervisor Gardner, Cathy DeWolff, Bradley French and the Essex DPW for procuring and installing the permanent Town tree, Ted and Cathy Taylor of Taylor Tree Care for finding just the right Christmas tree, Jan and John Fortune for hundreds of cookies and delicious cocoa, Katie Shepard, George Davis and Donna Sonnet for helping get the word out, Pat Burnes, Sharon Boisen, Emma Paladino, Debbie Alterie, Jodi Browning, Deb and Fred Schrodt of Pink Pig Antiques and Café and Tom Duca for their extra efforts, the staff of CFES (Tara, Kristina and Chelsea) for helping organize the Reindeer Run, Michelle Maron of Lake Champlain Yoga & Wellness and Rick and Karen Dalton of College for Every Student for opening their businesses to house our vendors and finally, Santa and Mrs. Claus for taking time out of their busy schedule to be with the children. We thank everyone for coming to Essex to help celebrate the Christmas season and look forward to seeing you next year. Ken Hughes and Susie Smith Co-organizers, Christmas in Essex
WeÊ stuffed-a-bus!! To the editor: Many thanks to everyone who supported our efforts to support the Ticonderoga Food Pantry Saturday, Dec. 5, at the Ticonderoga Walmart store. Whether you purchased goods to help stock the shelves of the food pantry or if you made a cash donation, your support is very much appreciated. Thank you for your generosity, especially now during the holiday season. Thanks to your support, we were able to fill a full-size school bus with food for the food pantry. In addition, we were able to collect $920 in cash donations, also for the food pantry. We never cease to be amazed by the generosity of the citizens of our community. A special “thank you” goes out to Alex Smith and Jay Wells, the faculty advisors who organized this event. They reserved the school bus and organized the student volunteers who handed out flyers at Walmart and encouraged shoppers to help support the food pantry. Last, but most certainly not least, many thanks to all of the student volunteers who took time away from their Saturday to come out and help everyone to stuff-the-bus.

COMMENTARY
Little Bits Wind-up toys Gordie Little
Columnist
H
as anyone ever said, “You’re really wound up today”? It happens. It’s that time of year when you’d like to just crawl under the Christmas tree and take a nap. We’re supposed to be joyful, but the world is in such a state of being wound up and messed up, that it’s not so easy. I’ll try to lighten it up a bit. Unwind. Relax. Count your blessings, one by one, to quote a line from a great song. Travel back in time, if you will, to far less hectic days when toys didn’t have batteries. Yes, there was a time when you didn’t have to worry whether you had enough double A’s or triple A’s or regulars or lithiums or whatever. Remember when the best toy under the tree was mechanical with a key sticking out? I do. The best toy I ever had was the only toy I got one year, because that’s the way it was back then. It was a wind up tank--a replica of the famous Sherman tank. It was awesome. My tank had rubber treads. You turned the key until it couldn’t turn any more. There was a lever you pushed to start it up. It could climb over mountains of books. It could move up a slope so steep, it would finally tip over. Inside was a clockwork motor tough enough to withstand the fat hands of little Gordie Little. We would put the cat in a tiny wagon and hook it up to the tank which would tow it across the floor as long as the long-suffering kitty would sit still. What fun. How long has it been since you wound up anything but yourself? For me, it’s only been a few days. My weekly ritual includes winding my clocks and there are many. Kaye or I will sometimes wind up a music box from her collection and listen to the melody. But, we’d have to search drawers to find wind-up toys from when our brood was young. I awoke with that thought this morning. If I wanted to buy wind-up toys, could I find them on the Internet? The answer is a resounding YES. I took a trip down memory lane and typed “wind-up toys” into my favorite search engine. There they were, available for old codgers like me to goggle over, and for a new generation who has never known such things existed. I couldn’t find Sherman tanks, but I did come across a chicken that wiggled across the floor and laid eggs. Come to think of it, I believe I know a drawer in our hutch containing a wind-up purple Papa Smurf. It might be too late for you to pick some up this year, but, it’s a good exercise to remember back to a day before you put batteries into anything except a flashlight.

supervisor of Fine, where cyclists traveled last year. “Economically it was a real boost, but even more important was that it brought our community together in a way that nothing else has – it galvanized our pride in where we live, and that effect has lasted beyond the event.” In Old Forge, officials reported seeing participants from the 2015 tour return to other events during the year, after learning the many wonderful things the area has to offer. The 2016 route starts and ends in Hadley-Lake Luzerne with overnight stops in Ticonderoga, Keeseville, Saranac Lake, Indian Lake and Northville. A layover day in Saranac Lake gives riders an optional route touring Lake Placid or a day off their bikes to enjoy the amenities available in the Olympic Region. Some participants may choose a three- or four-day route, instead of the week-long option, beginning in Lake Luzerne and ending in Saranac Lake, with transportation provided back to the start. For non-cyclists, a program called Cycle Adirondacks Adventure Travelers, offers outdoor activities and wildlife interpretation each day and reuniting with the cyclists in camp each evening. Haney recalled some unexpected experienced from last year, which attracted riders from 29 states and Canada. Noticing participants wearing wooden medals, he inquired about them. “You’re the organizer, don’t you know?” answered one of the riders.
Connor, Tripten, Maggie, and Ariana were part of Mrs. Raymond ‘s first grade class, who challenged her students to collectively read 5,000 minutes at home. The students, comprised of 18 first grade and one kindergarten student, were promised a pizza party once the goal was met.
TSA applications now available THURMAN — Thurman Station Association (TSA), which contracts with the town of Thurman to manage a portion of the town’s occupancy tax dollars, invites local businesses and organizations to submit applications for occupancy tax funding for any tourism-related projects or event being planned in Thurman for the coming year. Those seeking grants should fill out the two page form, using it as a way to demonstrate how their funded activity will draw tourists to stay overnight in Warren County, and, specifically, in Thurman. Applicants should familiarize themselves with War-
Community members had greeted every rider with the gifts, unbeknownst to Haney. It’s that sort of welcome that shows off the heart of the Adirondacks, “Our inaugural event (last year) was a resounding success because every community welcomed our cyclists as family. That is not something you can script into a cycling tour. It was genuine and is what will continue to make Cycle Adirondacks special,” Haney said. Post-event surveys showed 99 percent of riders rated the event highly positively and would recommend it to others. In addition, 98 percent said they are likely to visit the Adirondacks again, with 100 percent saying they will tell others to visit. Roughly half the participants had never visited the Adirondack Park before the 2015 tour. “WCS created the eco-tourism event to provide a world-class, fully supported cycling adventure that gives hundreds of riders the opportunity to enjoy the Adirondack Park’s natural and recreational resources,” said Zoe Smith, Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society Adirondack Program. Cycle Adirondacks enlists local volunteer groups to help stage
ren County’s Schedule “A” and feel free to ask questions of the committee as they plan their projects and draft their applications. Applications should be received by the committee by January 1, and an announcement will be made in early January about a date for the review committee meeting. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to attend the meeting, and it will be open to the public. To obtain an application, email Perky Granger at PersisGranger@aol.com or phone Wini Martin at 6239595.

Large crowd expected for Lake George New Year’s Day polar plunge By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
LAKE GEORGE — Whether it’s a way to impress others of one’s bravery, win the heart of a sweetheart, boost personal vitality or cure a hangover — or just have fun with friends, thousands of people annually turn out for the annual New Year’s Day polar plunge event in Lake George. People of all ages from near and afar each year run into the bone-chilling waters of Lake George — and most run back our shrieking — during this annual public demonstration of hardiness — or insanity. What started out as a First Day frigid frolic of several dozen people has developed into a colorful, fanciful mass plunge into Lake George by more than 1,000 revelers. This year, the celebratory plunge is set to occur in several waves, with 400-or-so swimmers to charge off Shepard Park Beach into the water at 1 p.m. Friday Jan. 1, event organizer Linda Duffy said. A second wave is to take the icy plunge 30 minutes or so later, then a third and fourth if necessary to accommodate all. Registration on New Years Day begins at 10:30 a.m. at Duffy’s Tavern on Amherst St., and long lines are annually experienced. Those who want to avoid the wait can pre-register at the tavern from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday Dec. 31. Those registering for the event receive a commemorative polar plunge long-sleeved T-shirt. Through the annual icy swim, people have traditionally expressed their creativity and humor, through crazy antics and bizarre costumes. For 43 years, people of all ages have enjoyed the offbeat spirit and party atmosphere of the festive, frigid event. Groups of relatives, co-workers and fraternity members have annually lent the polar plunge a party atmosphere. A large crowd is expected this year, as a the weather is predicted to be mild. Weather forecasts for Lake George published Dec. 18 call for temperatures hitting 34 to 40 degrees on Jan. 1, rather than the 18 degrees recorded on Jan. 1, 2014 and 26 to 30 degrees last New Year’s Day.
At the conclusion of the swim, an after-party begins at Duffy’s Tavern. The rock band Master Cylinder will be performing, and beverage specials will be offered. Revelers are urged to bring dry clothing, a towel, a robe or outerwear, and perhaps most important, sneakers or water shoes to protect feet, Duffy said. In the past, the event has since received substantial national attention. It’s not only been reported in widely in the media, but it has earned a permanent listing on Wikipedia — an entry that’s accompanied by a link to a YouTube video. Duffy said the Lake George Polar Plunge is a phenomenon that’s unique in the region.
“It has an incredible spirit,” she said. “For many, it’s an invigorating way to wash off the old, and start out the new year fresh.” For updates on the Lake George Polar Plunge, call Duffy’s Tavern at 668-5323 or Linda Duffy at 361-2559. ABOVE: A mass of revelers head into the waters of Lake George to take a frigid swim during the annual Lake George New Year’s Day Polar Plunge event. The frigid frolicking — which includes bizarre, creative costumes and lots of socializing — begins at 1 p.m. Friday Jan. 1, but registration starts at 10:30 a.m.. Many pre-register to avoid long lines — and that may be accomplished from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 31. Photo by Thom Randall

Burgher girls win two more; Langworthy takes aim at scoring record By Thom Randall
thom@suncommunitynews.com
WARRENSBURG — All-Star basketball player Erin Langworthy of Warrensburg High receently moved within a few points of claiming her school’s all-time scoring record — both boys and girls basketball — by amassing 37 points in her team’s 58-36 Adirondack League victory Dec. 18 over Salem. As of Dec. 21 — having scored a total of 1571 career basketball points — she was 3 points shy of the record set by Terry Kohlman, who happens to be Langworthy’s great uncle. As of Monday, Langworthy was expected to break that record Tuesday Dec. 22 against North Warren. Dec. 8, Langworthy broke the career girls basketball scoring record of 1,439 set by Crystal Stone in the mid-1990s. In the Dec. 18 game against Salem, both the Burghers and the Generals played tough physical games — evident in the low scores of the first quarter, when both teams struggled on offense. After managing a slim 9-8 lead after the first quarter, Warrensburg adjusted their attack to meet Salem’s challenge and outscored the Generals 16-5 in the second stanza, taking a 25-13 halftime lead. Langworthy scored 20 of those points. Both team’s however, were in foul trouble before the half ended as a result of the scrappy play. Salem started out the second half with an aggressive team, compiling a 6-0 run. Warrensburg responded with an 20-2 run of their own to end the third quarter, putting the game out of reach for the Generals, and Warrensburg brought in players off their bench. In addition to her scoring tirade, Erin Langworthy had 11 rebounds, and 7 steals to lead Warrensburg. Her sharpshooting drew close coverage from Salem — and with the Generals focusing on guarding Langworthy, the remainder of the scoring was distributed widely among her teammates.
Starr Hughes scored 6 points; Britanny Frasier, 4 points; Madison Sheridan, 3 points; Zoie Morgan, 2 points; Kerri Fino, 2 points. Coming off the bench, Megan Hughes tallied 10 rebounds and 4 points. Ryley Scott had 6 steals. Jessi Vidal led Salem with 11 points, followed by Hailey Vincent with 10. With the win, Warrensburg boosted their season record to 5-1 i the league and 6-2 overall. The Burghers Junior Varsity team won their game against the Generals.
Warrensburg 59, Hadley-Luzerne 31
LAKE LUZERNE — The Warrensburg girls basketball team used tough defense to accompany their predictable, productive offense Dec. 15 to defeat Hadley-Luzerne by a decisive score of 59-31. Warrensburg’s offense was potent from the beginning of the game, leading to a 22-6 first quarter lead, which widened as the game progressed. Erin Langworthy led the Burghers with 39 points. Britanny Frasier had 12 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists. Coach Scott said he was happy to see the aggressive defense his players employed against the Eagles. “Special credit goes to Ryley Scott and Zoe
Morgan who did a terrific job defensively in holding Luzerne’s two leading scorers to a combined 2 points in the game,” he said, adding that Burgher Freshman Megan Hughes played well coming off the bench to score 3 points and grab rebounds. Kassidy Plummer led Luzerne with 10 points.

dog lovers,” he said. Alexander proposed a park of about an acre, featuring separate sections for large and small dogs, complete with water troughs, signs, doggie-bag dispensers and high fencing. He suggested siting such a park between the town beach parking lot and a local cemetery off Hudson St. Extension. Alexander said developing one would be inexpensive, and that most of the cost could likely be covered by a grant. “These parks seem to be a big deal with towns that have put them in,” he added. He also noted that no other town or city in the Glens Falls region has a municipal dog park, and hosting one in Warrensburg would attract visitors. “We ought to make this happen,” he said. Clifton Park, Albany and Guilderland have dog parks where dogs can run free in a secure setting, providing good exercise for the animals while their owners enjoy socializing. Officials of these municipalities have reported that the residents have respected the dog park rules — which include prohibition of aggressive dogs, owners picking up their dogs’ excrement, and minimum age restrictions. New events, business recruiting eyed In addition to this initiative, Warrensburg town board members suggested boosting municipal departmental efficiency, empowering employees, initiating new events, and attracting new businesses as objectives. Most all the proposals were endorsed by the town board at their goals meeting. Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty said he wanted additional decision-making to be delegated to employees of the town recreation and water departments. “We have a change pending in personnel — we will have a smaller work force — so employees will need to accomplish more on their own,” he said. He also said that he and the board members would be working with business and economic development groups in 2016 to recruit new businesses to fill empty storefronts, particularly on Main St..
www.suncommunitynews.com
Geraghty also proposed developing a new well for the town water system. He suggested it could be located either adjacent to Countryside Adult Home off Schroon River Road, or at a site in the River St. area. He also said that town government should sell the 600 acres it owns off Alden Ave. near the municipal reservoir, and that doing so would pay for a new town well or two. Local broadband expansion a goal Board members also suggested researching the possibility of bringing broadband Internet access to unserved areas in town by employing broadcast “white space” technology like Thurman is now pursuing. Areas needing broadband the most are Forest Lake Road, Harrington Hill, and Schroon River Road, the town leaders said. Also endorsed was councilman Bryan Rounds’ idea of upgrading the area around the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand, giving it the ambiance of a town plaza by installing brick pavers on the adjacent short alley between Main St. and Elm St. The council members discussed whether to remove the tree on the Main St. side of the bandstand, deciding to give the idea further thought. Board member Joyce Reed suggested constructing a pole barn to protect town highway equipment from snow and rain. The board members endorsed the idea, suggesting it be located adjacent to the town garage on King St. Reed also suggested establishing new events in town, perhaps a community chili
cook-off, or a jazz or blues festival. Geraghty and the other town leaders endorsed this idea also. “We should improve on the events we have, as well as developing some new events to be held off-season,” he said. Geraghted added that in 2016 the summer concert series will be moved back to the Floyd Bennett bandstand from the recreation field. He also suggested that the Warrensburg High School Band be recruited to perform in a summer concert or two — and that the town should host fireworks at least once during the summer. Also endorsed for accomplishment in 2016 was completion of pending projects, most of which have grant funding lined up. Such project include dredging the lagoons at the town wastewater treatment plant, finishing up the bandstand restoration, rebuilding pump stations, extending sewer lines up Schroon River Road to Countryside Adult Home, and developing the planned recreational park adjacent to the hydropower pond. Other goals endorsed include boosting the town’s fund balance by $100,000, upgrading the Farmers’ Market Park and the Veterans Park, and drafting an equipment purchasing plan for the town highway department. Geraghty noted the need for the town to purchase a new sidewalk sweeping machine, expected to cost about $30,000. Alexander also proposed converting street lights to super-efficient LED bulbs to save utility costs. Board member Linda Marcella suggested the town seek grant

money that would help homeowners pay for upgrading their residences’ exteriors. Grinding free mulch for residents? Bryan Rounds suggested that the town bring in a tub grinder to the landfill one or two times per year to grind up the piles of brush left there. Board members expressed approval, as the machine could produce mulch for the use of town residents in beautifying their properties, while it would dispose of the limbs and brush that accumulate at the landfill. Rounds also suggested re-drafting the town’s sign ordinance, as it is now outdated. He and Geraghty also noted that the town’s zoning ordinances also need to be updated to meet emerging needs, noting that a developer now wants to site a car dealership next to the post office, but the existing zoning ordinances wouldn’t allow it. “We need to make our zoning development-friendly,” Geraghty said. Rounds suggested that the town seek out a developer who would invest in rehabilitating the Miles Thomas House — until recently used as the town Senior Center — under a set of restrictions that would guarantee preservation of the building’s historic architecture and specify allowed uses. Geraghty said he supported the initiative, adding that the town spending $500,000 to fix up a rarely-used building that is expensive to heat wasn’t a wise use of taxpayer money.

One hundred years ago – December 1915 Vicious fire destroys summer resort The Tripp Lake House, a large summer boarding house on the Warrensburgh-Chester Road, three miles south of Chestertown, was destroyed by fire at an early hour Saturday morning, Nov. 20, 1915, with most of its contents. The loss is estimated at $5,000 with $3,500 insurance. The house is owned and operated by Robert Fox and had been a popular summer resort for several years. It was situated near Tripp Lake, a small but pretty body of water with a beautiful grove surrounding the house and lake. A dancing pavilion is situated in the grove where frequent dances were enjoyed last season. This escaped the flames. The fire started in the attic. Mr. Fox was awakened about 2 a.m. by the crackling of flames. Searching to locate the sound he opened a trap door leading to the attic and was met by a burst of fire and smoke which convinced him that the entire upper part of the house was in flames. Nothing could be done to save the structure and only a piano and a few pieces of furniture could be saved. It is believed that a defective chimney was the cause of the blaze. The house will be rebuilt in readiness for next season.
Winter gets a good start A big snow storm on Monday, Dec. 13, 1915, which broke the December records since 1874, gave winter a good start throughout this section. Snow began falling early in the morning, but until late in the afternoon only an inch or two covered the ground. Just before 6 o’clock the storm increased in violence and within a few hours nearly two feet of snow had fallen. Measurements taken in various parts of this village vary from 22 to 26 inches. A fall of over two feet is reported from Stony Creek. The good sleighing it has provided has come as a boon to many. There is considerable ice on the shores of the Hudson in East Thurman and some floating ice.
An irate citizen speaks A resident of School District No. 3, in the Town of Thurman, who is in the habit of keeping in close touch with everything going on in the neighborhood, has observed that the teacher in charge of the school is giving the children fresh air

in large doses and he’s “agin it.” He wrote to the Warrensburgh News, “The pupils of the school in district No. 3 of this place are all taking cold by having the window let down over their heads and the door thrown open wide and no fire, the teacher is sitting around with her coat on and when she gets so cold she cannot stand it any longer she will get up and walk around the school room and get warmed up and the children has to sit with the wind blowing on their feet and their head and some are home sick abed and others have such a cold they can’t speak a loud word, but the teacher says she’s got to have the window down to have air. It looks as though some people was brought up out of doors and did not know what a fire was for.”
Taps for an aged veteran Suddenly stricken by apoplexy, Capt. Samuel B. Moses, 71, an aged veteran of the Civil War, died alone some time between 9 and 10 o’clock on Wednesday night, Nov. 24, 1915 in his home on Alden Avenue, Warrensburgh where he lived alone since 1912 when his wife died. Captain Moses’ dead body was found lying on the floor where he had fallen in a hallway between his dining room and sitting room and a lighted lantern sat on his dining room table next to a quantity of provisions he had purchased to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for friends. A neighbor who called to see him made the gruesome discovery. (Note - Captain Moses was known in Warrensburgh for his rollicking since of humor and his wild and complex practical jokes. For many years he was in charge of Warrensburg parades and because he had no wild animals for show he made his own reproductions there in his cabinet workshop. He and his wife, Paulina (Bennett) Moses lived in the house on the east corner of River Street and Alden Avenue and she was known in the neighborhood as a housekeeper “as neat as wax.” Today they lie side by side in the Warrensburg Cemetery. In later years Jim and Florence Gallup owned the house and later yet their son lived there. I do not know who inhabits the lovely old home now but extensive landscaping has been cur-

rently going on and the grounds look fabulous. Life goes on!)
Setting down life’s burdens Zalmon Hall, 63, for many years a resident of the town of Caldwell, living just over the Warrensburgh town line in the Harrington Hill district, died suddenly Saturday morning, Nov. 20, 1915. Mr. Hall was ill for several weeks this fall with typhoid fever from which he was recovering when he contacted a severe cold. Pleurisy and rheumatism developed and the latter ailment affected his heart. He leaves a widow, one son, John Hall and three grandchildren. Internment was in the Warrensburgh Cemetery.
Trouble, trouble and more trouble Henry Ashe, proprietor of the Agricultural Hotel (now Ashe’s Hotel), Hudson Street, Warrensburgh, is suffering from blood poison in his right foot as the result of an accident he suffered in mid November, 1915 when he dropped a stick of pulp wood on the member and crushed the toes. Mr. Ashe suffered from the same trouble about two years ago at which time he had his left leg amputated in a New York City hospital. The trouble started from a corn on a toe which was too closely pared. Two amputations were necessary, the first failing to check the infection.
North Thurman news A number of our men have gone north to work in the lumber woods. In Kenyontown, Sanford Kenyon recently killed two pigs, five months old, that weighed 253 and 243 pounds respectfully. This would be a hard feat to beat! Sanford Kenyon’s black horse died Thursday night, Nov. 25, 1915. A great loss to him as the animal was a family pet. George H. Ingraham has raised this season, on the Meadowbrook Stock (now Nettle Meadows) Farm, a parsnip thirteen inches long. Basil Gallup has completed the work of setting up a fine headstone for his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gallup, in the Reynolds’ Cemetery.
