Polar plunge, lake cruises featured over New Year’s weekend Celebration serves as kickoff for yearlong bicentennial

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — With a massive crowd of polar plungers gathering in Lake George for a frigid swim — and the many local taverns — the village has always been a prime destination for people who are seeking revelry on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. This year, New Year’s weekend in Lake George will feature additional activities and have greater significance, as the Lake George Steamboat Co. and local officials will be kick-

ing off the year-long celebration of its 200th anniversary.

That’s not a misprint. The company was chartered by the state legislature in April 1817 to begin operating its cruise ships on Lake George.

Since then, its cruises have operated without interruption for two centuries, company CEO Bill Dow said.

“2017 is a special year, when you consider our steamboat operation is older than most towns in Warren County,” he said.

While 1,000 to 1,500 people will be charging into the waters of Shepard Park Beach for the famed Lake George Polar Plunge between

1 p.m. and about 1:45 p.m. on Jan. 1, the Lake George Steamboat Co. will be conducting a New Year’s Day Champagne Brunch Cruise, featuring savory food including cod with Lobster Newburg Sauce and Chicken Francais, live music, dancing and champagne.

Boarding at noon, the ship trip traverses north through The Narrows and returns by 2:15 p.m.

On Dec. 31, the historic operation is offering two cruises, the New Year’s Eve Dinner Cruise in the early evening with a similar menu of entrees, as well as the Party Cruise boarding at 9:15 p.m. and sailing from 10 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The latter offering features music, dancing

and party favors, with a traditional champagne toast, with fireworks to welcome 2017 at midnight. This cruise, which includes hors d’ooeuvres, a pasta station and mac & cheese, includes two drinks of one’s choice — and plenty of revelry.

The earlier New Year’s Eve dinner cruise boards at 5 p.m. and tours the lake from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m..

All three cruises are aboard the upscale Lac du St. Sacrement and feature live music by the acclaimed Danny Lombardo Trio.

From Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, the steamboat company is also featuring an ice bar —where revelers can cozy >> See NEW YEAR’S | pg. 16

Musketeer Holly Bearor is a re-enactor and hunter

SCHROON LAKE – Not many women own a flintlock rifle, but Holly Bearor has two.

The Schroon Lake woman takes her muzzleloader to historic re-enactments, and has even bagged a deer with one.

She was the cover story for the October issue of Muzzle Blasts, a monthly magazine devoted to the use of muzzleloading firearms and published by the National Muzzleloading Rifle Association based in Indiana.

“I got a .45 caliber flintlock in 1978, the Tulle (.62 caliber) musket in 1990,” Bearor said. “The Tulle is a French infantryman’s musket. I have a bayonet for it that I got for Christmas.

“What other woman got a bayonet for Christmas?”

The .45 caliber was custom made for her by armorer Doug Anderson, with a Siler flintlock and a Green Mountain barrel, and she entered and won various competitions with it. >> See BEAROR | pg. 16

Ideas progressing for covered bridge, pedestrian access and parking near West Brook in Lake George

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

LAKE GEORGE — Since the advent of automobiles in the early 1900s, access by pedestrians from area motels and accommodations to restaurants, shops and attractions in Lake George has been an ongoing problem — but steps have been taken in recent years to make the village more walkable.

Just this year — following the trend in prosperous smartgrowth municipalities, Lake George officials have sought to transform their municipality by making the experience of walking though the village and town more pleasant. The Lake George Gateway project, with substantial support from the state, has been pursued to boost pedestrian access by extending walkways, establishing crosswalks and beautifying Rte. 9 with a landscaped median to make it more inviting and walkable.

In the last several weeks, progress has occurred in designing a pedestrian bridge over West Brook, connecting sidewalks in the village southward into the town. To be situated behind a guardrail on the west side of state Rte. 9, the span is to re-

semble a covered bridge — an amenity requested by Dennis Dickinson. Currently, pedestrians have to walk in the Rte. 9 roadway, which is not only unpleasant, but poses a safety risk.

The covered bridge is nicknamed the Unity Bridge, as it joins the town with the village. It would be located across the street from the Festival Commons of Charles Wood Park.

Recently, town and village officials have met with an architect, with the objective of obtaining a grant to design continuity in curbing, brickwork and sidewalk pavement to the proposed bridge.

Town Planner Dan Barusch described the plans at the December town board meeting, noting that contractors would be sought to construct the bridge’s headwalls and wooden deck, but that local municipal officials would supervise the construction of the post-and-beam housing for the covered bridge structure.

Dickinson noted that plans are finalizing and construction work is being scheduled for this spring to construct sidewalk curbing and parking areas along West Brook Road. This work is a collaborative effort with the village.

Dickinson said that John Carr’s proposed Adirondack Craft Beverage Campus, a residential university that offers instruction in brewing, distilling and fly-fishing, would be directly across state Rte. 9 from West Brook Road and the Festival Commons, where various attractions are booked all summer long and extending into fall.

Dickinson said that Carr was willing to allow the town to develop a linear park along West Brook, which would provide abatement of stormwater erosion and sedimentation problems in the area — as well as beautifying the area.

Dickinson also said that talks have begun with the owner of a substantial plot of under-utilized land behind commercial properties along the southwest side of Rte. 9 for the development of a large parking lot — with the intent of providing a considerable number of parking spaces for people attending events at the festival commons.

“We do not now have sufficient parking area in the village or near West Brook, and it hampers the success of events held in the festival Commons,” Dickinson said. “Parking is one of most serious issues facing the town and the village of Lake George.”

I

can’t help but wonder if the fast pace of a wireless society these days, where we are overloaded with too much information, much of which is over glorified, lends to how quickly the years seem to slip by.

The past year was one of major change both here at home in the United States and around the world.

Terrorism, war, the economy, immigration, refugees, guns, rising debt, email hacking and the election results no one expected seem destine to capture the headlines as we move into 2017 and beyond, in what should be another pivotal year in our ongoing nation’s story.

It’s anyone’s guess what direction the powers that be will allow the nation to take in 2017. The one thing we know for sure is the side that lost the election seem hell bent on making certain that if they couldn’t win the other side must completely fail.

If we can believe the news reports some are threatening disruptions at the inauguration and even talking impeachment before the president-elect is even sworn into office.

Not only is that dead wrong, but it’s unamercian.

We had an election, the opposition needs to get on board and let the new administration get their feet under them.

We need to start working together to find common ground. We can’t continue tearing at the very fabric of the nation at a time when we need to be united in purpose.

The audition for role of Commander and Chief has ended. He doesn’t need cartblanche, but he needs a fair opportunity to do what he does best which is to bring a sense of business acumen to the office of President.

It’s time to quit hurling insults and threats, and begin looking for the silver linings that most certainly will be in our future, if we can look past the bitter campaign.

2017 Can hold a great deal of promise but at the same time presents potential risks to the stability of the world.

A united America sends a much stronger message to friend and foe alike. A divided country only invites greater challenges from those outside our borders.

We can only hope and pray that reasonable national and world leaders take steps to lessen the growing tensions and that all God’s people can take a step back and learn to live in harmony on this small planet and great country we must to share if we are to live in peace.

Boreas classification process was flawed from the start

R

egardless of where you stand on the classification of the Boreas Ponds Tract, on one point it seems everyone agrees — the state dropped the ball on adequately surveying what is there and presenting that information in a usable form so people could make a fact-based decision.

Just why that happened is open for interpretation.

But the results are indisputable: The dearth of accurate information made available — like environmental impact statements and the exact location and condition of the man-made components in the tract — left the door ajar for inaccurate information to be disseminated.

As such, people were coerced to take a stand with half-truths.

There is no daylight between the two sides when it comes to this.

All seem to also agree that the process was rushed by the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, leading both sides to believe it was internally biased from the start.

Interestingly, they are not the first to make that assumption.

Former APA Commissioner Richard Booth believes the process is flawed as well, a fact he made clear during his farewell speech last spring.

Instead of allowing a full, honest dialogue of the facts, Booth said the governor steered APA staff into presenting pre-determined conclusions.

He said the chief executive and his staff “rigidly controlled” the analysis APA staff were allowed to prepare and present to the commissioners and public during the hearing process.

That influenced public comment and prevented commissioners from making recommendations based on full disclosure, Booth contends.

The broader ramifications past the current debate, he said, is a precedentsetting discussion that may weaken the agency in the long run.

So is the Boreas Ponds Tract classification déjà vu all over again?

We will leave that conclusion to you, but something doesn’t smell quite right.

Take, for example, the point made by Access the Adirondacks that the roadways within the parcel weren’t laid out by APA staff until the sixth public hearing — after hundreds of people had already voiced an opinion.

Some attendees of the initial hearings no doubt did not even know roads existed — or certainly not to what extent they exist — pointed out Access member Jason Kemper, forcing members of the group to use their precious speaking time simply presenting the facts.

Across the aisle, members of BeWildNY pointed to trails nowhere near hikeable on APA maps and “phantom roads” that were listed as navigable — aged logging roads that had all but been overtaken by the forest.

Adirondack Council Executive Director Willie Janeway pointed out that council members sunk six inches into some roadways when attempting to navigate them with mountain bikes.

So did the governor have a preconceived notion for the parcel well before anyone had a chance to speak and held much of this information close to the vest?

Given the facts, it is hard to say he did not, which as Booth pointed out in March, is a slippery slope that undermines environmental safeguards and due process of allowing New Yorkers to chime in.

Either way, the stark reality is that none of this has been good for the process and has only served to stifle dialogue, drive people apart and widen our distrust in a transparent process.

Zooming out to examine the bigger picture, all of this could have most like-

ly been averted if the state would just add a new classification allowing certain uses like mountain biking while slamming the door permanently on others altogether — including the use of ATVs. Again, interestingly, Cuomo was against a similar measure during the classification of the Essex Chain Lakes Complex — another fact brought forth by Booth prior to his departure from the board.

As we’ve witnessed speaking with everyone involved, compromise can be attained, but not in a vacuum in which the decision has already been made.

That simply is not good for anyone.

Cuomo’s love for the Adirondacks is well-documented — and sincere.

The governor seldom leaves the state, and the fact that the chief executive chooses to vacation here year after year over more exotic locales speaks volumes.

In fact, the governor’s public schedule had him Essex County this week.

While his itinerary was not made public, we hope he spent some time on the ground in Boreas to get a true lay of the landscape and walks away with the proper understanding to make an informed and fact-based decision.

lETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WildernessÊ v.Ê WildÊ ForestÊ debateÊ moreÊ thanÊ justÊ citingÊ stats

To the Editor: Mr. Peter Nelson, Co-founder, Adirondack Wilderness Advocates, may well teach statistics, but it is my belief that he is missing a very important variable in his equation. It seems to be his belief that if the Adirondack Park Agency and the Department of Environmental Conservation simply call a tract of land a ‘wilderness’ that the people will suddenly flock to the area in unmanageable crowds.

They obviously screwed up by not classifying the entire Essex Chain as Wilderness, proven by his statement regarding the declining use of the area.

The hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake is, in fact located at the junction of two major state highways on the interior of the Park, but they don’t have quite the amount of access that Route 87 provides.

Blue Mountain Lake does, however provide the easiest access to the Blue Ridge Wilderness via the Northville-Lake Placid trial. The Blue Ridge Wilderness, at 47,125 acres, is not one of the larger Wilderness areas, but it does have some 23 miles of foot trails, according to the APA website.

West Canada Lakes Wilderness, at 168,920 acres, and Siamese Ponds, at 113,176 acres, located nearby, are both fairly significant in size.

The APA website lists Hamilton County at 1,156,130 acres, or 1,097,515 acres when the area of the water (lakes and ponds) is excluded. This equals about 1714.87 square miles of land.

The state of Rhode Island has a land area of only 1,045 square miles, according to 50states.com, and the state of Delaware is 1955 sq. miles. Hamilton County is therefore 1.64 times the size of Rhode Island, and about 88 percent of the size of Delaware.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, we have a population of 4,836 full time residents, and not a single traffic light. Imagine attempting to travel through Providence or Baltimore with no street lights.

The latest statistics listed on the APA website for parkwide land use classification is for the year 2014. They list Hamilton County as having 473,279 acres of land classified as Wilderness under the State Land Master Plan. Slightly more than 40.9 percent of Hamilton County was classified as Wilderness in 2014. That number has now grown with the approval of the Hudson River Gorge Wilderness Area as part of the classification of the Essex Chain.

Mr. Nelson’s esteemed and robust town of Keene is located in Essex County. Essex County, at 1,224,679 acres, water included, is a bit larger than Hamilton County, but, in 2014, contained only 366,640 acres of land classified as Wilderness, only about 77 percent of the amount of wilderness that is located in Hamilton County.

Mr. Nelson states that 93 percent of the respondents to the survey stated that natural beauty and open space draws them to the Adirondacks. With our full time population of 4,836 people, about 12 percent of the 2010 population of 39,370 in Essex County, and 40 percent of our land area classified Wilderness, or 66.68 percent (770,978 acres) of the total land area classified as either Wilderness, Primitive or Wild Forest in 2014, it seems like we should qualify as having a fair amount of open space.

As a statistician, please teach me where your simple equation of “wilderness is the answer” fails for Hamilton County.

Maybe all the Hamilton County open spaces just somehow lack “natural beauty.”

TrumpÊ supportersÊ canÕ tÊ faceÊ theÊ truth To the Editor: The letters of Lori Kovarovic and Raynard Corrow in the Times of Ti sounded like the same old rhetoric Republicans have been using for years.

Ms. Kovarovic states that she is sick of Hillary Clinton’s lies, even though these charges have been proven false.

The Clinton Foundation has done nothing but good for those who needed help, but this is contrary to Republican philosophy. (One should never help those less fortunate less they be called “liberal!”)

She ignores the deaths that occurred when Reagan had the marines stand down and a terrorist ran a truck loaded with explosives into their barracks, killing 241 of our finest.

She ignores the 76 who were killed at our embassy in Beirut, Lebanon while Regan was president — but blames Hillary Clinton for the four deaths at Benghazi.

My guess is that she simple ignores the truth. As the days pass we find out more about Trump and the “Russian connection!”

Trump has been hobnobbing with the very elite of Russian society who are friends with Putin. Also, his children have visited Russia many times doing the same thing: selling their condos and living the good life.

The Russians are not our friends, but to Trump, it is money in the bank!

Ms. Kovarovic listened to the lies of Trump and her letter was filled with hate for Hillary Clinton. Will she acknowledge that Trump lied? No, this won’t happen!

Will Raynard Corrow rethink his comments? I don’t think so!

Like Trump, his supporters have so much hate they can’t face the truth when it is plainly shown. The fact is; Trump will be our President and I will accept him. I will pray for him to be what he isn’t now and that he grows to be humble. Humility is something Trump supporters should learn, as hate will do nothing but bring them down.

In my prayers, I ask the Lord to be with these people and bring us back to a better time. God bless America.

CostsÊ forÊ newÊ countyÊ nutritionÊ buildingÊ seemÊ excessive To the Editor: Well hurrah! Here we go again. Where is a Trump-like person at our county level to challenge, “The structure clocks in at $1.2 million, not including equipment costs.”

This for a very plain building, single-story 3,689 square feet.

Now if I have done my math correctly, that equals $325.29 per square foot.

Granted, a building for this purpose will have multiple special purpose sinks as well as rest room(s), handicapped accessible and heavy duty electrical capacity.

Perhaps I am mistaken. However, this sounds a little excessive. Somebody saw willing taxpayers coming.

SchuylerÊ FallsÊ supervisor:Ê Ô ThankÊ you!Õ

To the Editor: On behalf of the Town of Schuyler Falls, I’d like to thank all who participated and attended the third Annual Tree Lighting event at the town hall in Morrisonville.

The weather again cooperated and a good-sized crowd of all ages enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies, conversation and storytelling inside, followed by carol sing and brief introductions outside.

The event culminated with the countdown and lighting of the huge evergreen tree in front of the town hall lit from top to bottom with a bright star (new this year), multi-colored lights, with the white lights inside from the early tree-lighting times over 25 years ago still visible!

We’d like to thank those special groups that attended. The Morrisonville Fire Department with their trucks, the Morrisonville-Schuyler Falls Ambulance Corps with their equipment (and for leading the carol-sing), the town government members and other volunteers and who decorated and organized and participated, members of the town board, the highway department, the historians’ office, the town hall.

We especially thank the town residents and friends whom, we hope, enjoyed the event.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year — and we look forward to next year’s event. If you have ideas, would like to help organize and/or participate, please contact me.

Richard “Rick” Potiker Supervisor Town of Schuyler Falls

NoÊ illegalÊ orÊ secretÊ meetings To the Editor: Keith Parent’s statements are not all as they appear. He states he has lost his right to speak, talks of illegal meetings and equates his crude actions to that of state Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and Assemblyman Dan Stec (R-Queensbury).

Privilege of the floor was suspended when necessary for four months due to uncontrollable behavior by unruly members of the audience. Yelling and vile language prevented those speaking from being heard and they refused to stop. It was difficult for the Board to converse and to do their work.

When privilege of the floor was suspended, the unruly behavior stopped and work was completed.

During open floor, all are called on and given three minutes to speak on agenda topics. Parent has spoken several times, often over the allowed three minutes, and mostly off topic. He complained about not getting a job with the highway, made accusations regarding hiring practices, and praised himself as though he should be chosen above others.

Another time when he was called on, a full minute went by but he did not speak due to disturbance in the audience. The board eventually closed the floor, not to shut him down, but because his cronies were uncontrollable. In attempting to gain order, an apology was given to Parent, the floor was closed and Parent was invited to speak to the supervisor after the meeting. The next time Parent was given privilege of the floor, he spoke over the three minutes again, complaining about being “shut down,” and made accusations of secret meetings.

There are no secret or illegal meetings. Board members Seaman, Shepler and Youngblood individually check in with Supervisor Wood throughout the month, keeping up to date on town issues. Secret or illegal meetings, as Parent claims, simply do not happen. These board members are conscientiously doing their job so that they show up to board meetings

prepared (something not done by Mr. Eddy unless it relates to his own personal agenda).

Parent was rightly “booed” by the Post Star for his crude behavior during “Meet the Candidates” night. Due to busy schedules, Sen. Betty Little and Assemblyman Dan Stec left only after being offered that opportunity by the moderator, Thom Randall. Their actions can’t even begin to compare to Parent’s crude actions.

As Don Lehman says, “facts be damned.”

Winefred Martin Warrensburg

Ô WeÊ haveÊ metÊ theÊ enemy,Ê andÊ heÊ isÊ usÕ To the Editor: As I read Dan Alexander’s plea for “Respect and Understanding,” to end the senseless killing, I was struck with the strength of his desire, if only he/we could somehow make it so.

The problem is, no one hears anyone today unless it’s something he/she would want to say and likes hearing it from someone else, probably having heard it already many, many times.

We hardly make contact with or listen to anything that might actually lead or induce us to change. We are ill equipped to open to adversity. We would rather ignore or try to stamp out (kill) than painfully struggle to learn to become better people, or struggle to help others become better people.

Efforts to make a difference can fall in the realm of individual, relational (e.g., spouse or child), group (e.g., family or team), culture (e.g., organization or town, national or global), but I believe it has to start with each of us, individually. I say this because I have to know what seems right and effective to me, for me, before I can intelligently focus on it. There are meaningful answers to questions of what to focus on, and how, but we each have to sincerely ask before there will be answers.

As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” The root causes are not something you can just cite, vote for, and have someone else do the changing for us. Until we grasp this and begin to change ourselves, “it” is not going to get better!

BombÊ trainsÊ passÊ throughÊ ourÊ preciousÊ farmland To the Editor: During the weekend of the memorable “Super Moon” that shone over Essex County, I stopped at a railroad crossing between Essex and Whallonsburg and watched a hundred tankers full of highly volatile Bakken Crude Oil pass by.

The Keene town board adopted a resolution of the board last Monday evening calling on the U.S. Department of Transportation, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the NY DOT and the NY DEC to impose a moratorium on transport of Bakken Crude Oil by rail from Montreal to Albany, until a comprehensive study determines the public health, safety, economic and environmental impacts of a derailment.

Accidents involving this highly volatile crude oil carried in rail cars designed for vegetable oils include one in Lac Megantic, Quebec that killed 47 residents, one as young as 4 years old, and an explosion in Oregon that narrowly missed a school raise concerns about these shipments through the Champlain Valley rail corridor.

Keene’s board sent copies of the resolution to our U.S. senators and congresswoman, as well as the governor and Essex County Board of Supervisors. Moreover, our local fire departments are not prepared for a catastrophic derailment and cannot afford to train for such an event.

The local action group Mothers Out Front hopes that other towns in the Champlain Valley will pass resolutions to draw attention to this danger on the rails. I urge concerned residents in other Essex County towns to ask their town board to pass a similar resolution.

Only with the support of our government can we draw attention to these “bomb trains” that pass through our precious farmland and beautiful countryside, and the lacustrine wetlands and shoreline of our local treasure, Lake Champlain, home to fish, birds and other wildlife that we share our natural resources with.

EyE On THE ARTS

New Year Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”

Benjamin Franklin said that.

Though one does not have to wait until a new year arrives to become a better person, there’s something nice about having a definitive start date for life goals.

Whether misguided or not, it’s comforting to say: next year, I will be better.

I’m a firm believer that getting involved in the arts can aid anyone in their journey toward betterment.

Here are a few suggestions on how to start your year — and your personal journey — off right with local music, arts and entertainment: The Champlain Wine Company in Plattsburgh will open a new exhibit by Ann Praire on Jan. 6. Praire is a Plattsburgh native, whose photographs have been shown in juried art shows throughout the North Country. Praire’s exhibit will be on display throughout the month of January. The opening reception is slated Jan. 6 from 5-8 p.m. For more information, call 564-0064.

“Monsters in the Closet,” an exhibit by Rose Herbert, will open at the Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh on Jan. 6 at 5:30 p.m.

Hebert is a contemporary folk artist best known for her paintings that drip with vibrant colors, organizers say.

“Rose has a fresh, energetic style, very intense, very brash, and we are very lucky to have her work in our gallery,” said Gallery Director David Monette.

Hebert’s artwork will be on display from Jan. 6-27. For more information, call 5631604 or visit strandcenter.org.

The Newman Center in Plattsburgh 16mm film series will screen the 1972 film “The Man,” a Rod Serling screenplay imagining the first African-American presidency 36 years before the fact. Starring James Earl Jones, this undiscovered classic will be shown Friday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. in a “pre-Inauguration Day special engagement.” Tickets are free, with donations encouraged. For more information, contact serious_61@yahoo.com.

Timothy Messner of SUNY Potsdam will present “Hidden Beneath Our Feet,” a presentation on recent archaeological investigations carried out over the last several years, at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake.

The Saranac Lake Free Library will screen the Jim Griebsch film “Hotel Hope: the Story of Will Rogers Hospital” at noon on Jan. 5 in the Cantwell Room.

Organizers say that the film “provides an overview of the history of Will Rogers Memorial Hospital from its beginnings as the National Vaudeville Artists Lodge in the 1920’s through its many stages of evolution as a hospital.” The movie was made in conjunction Historic Saranac Lake.

This free presentation is part of the Library Luncheon Series. Organizers encourage attendees to bring soup or sandwich. For more information, call 891-4190.

A paint and sip fundraising event is slated for Jan. 8 at the Ticonderoga American Legion Post 224.

“With our depth, we have solid scoring, — It’s always a plus to be able to score points from a lot of different spots,” Coach Jones said. “I’m pleased how we’re playing now with a little more energy and focus on defense.

We’re sharing the ball well and getting good play off the bench — and they all perform well under pressure.”

LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Boys basketball team, which won two state championships over the past four years, has compiled a remarkable record this year despite the absence of any single nationally-ranked player, as Joel Wincowski was in those two recordbreaking seasons that re-wrote school history.

With a deep roster of talented athletes who all contribute to both defense and offense, the 2016-17 Warriors are now 7-0 overall and ranked sixth in New York State — without consideration of their two latest wins.

Warrior Coach Dave Jones — who a year ago was honored for amassing the 300 career wins in his 18th year at the helm — talked this week about how his roster’s depth was a key asset.

“From a coaching standpoint, it’s a nice luxury to have such balance on a team,” he said, observing that he has four players scoring in double figures. “Everyone’s been contributing — When one player has an off night, someone else steps up.”

On Dec. 23 against Maple Hill — like in most of their games this season — every player contributed to the score as well as hauling down rebounds, forcing turnovers and pressuring their opponents in the 59-47 Warrior victory.

In this game, junior 6’3” forward Caleb Scrime and shooting point guard Alex Jones both hit two free throws in the closing minute or so, preserving Lake George’s lead as Maple Hill players were on a comeback streak hitting three-pointers.

Scrime, top scorer for the game, said that Maple Hill was battling to revenge a 76-55 loss to Lake George on Nov. 30.

“It was a tough win tonight — they wanted to beat us really bad,” he said. “It got frantic at the end, but we fought back.”

Scrime tallied 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Jones scored 16 points and 4 assists. Mason Flatley recorded 7 points and 6 rebounds. Scott McLaughlin had 8 rebounds. Like most of their games this season, every single player scored. For Maple Hill, Jack Santore was top scorer with 15 points.

Lake George defeats North Warren Dec. 20, Lake George defeated North Warren 88-47 after the Warriors’ offensive machine racked up 24 points in the second quarter to North Warren’s 8 after a nearly even 1816 first stanza. McLaughlin was the statistics leader with 23 points including 4 three pointers; 4 rebounds and a steal. Alex Jones followed with 17 points. Scrime contributed 13 points, and Flatley tallied 13 points and 7 rebounds. Nick Hoffis scored 7 points, Kaleb Helms talled 6, and Zeke Reynolds, 4. Hoffis and Scrime each grabbed 5 rebounds. Coach Dave Jones credited McLaughlin for getting his team into the game by scoring one-third of his points in the first quarter.

For the Cougars, Joe Phelps lead with 15 points, including three long-distance shots. Hayden Smith and Pat Terry followed with 9 points, and Steve Monroe contributed 8.

On Dec. 16, Lake George cruised over Salem 77 to 31. Jones and Hoffis shared the spotlight as scoring leaders, with 14 points each — followed by McLaughlin with 12 points, plus Flatley and Zack Layton with 7 each, Scrime with 6, Helms with 5, Reynolds with 4, Ian Devlin and Nick Ure each with one three-pointer apiece, and Steve Colletti with 2 points.

Coach Jones praised Hoffis for coming off the bench and sparking the offense with his three steals as well as his scoring.

On Dec. 13, Lake George defeated Fort Edward 55-43.

Scrime was scoring leader with four shots from behind the arc and four within — for 20 points. Flatley contributed 14 points, followed by Alex Jones driving inside for 9. McLaughlin and Reynolds scored four points each, while Layton and Hoffis each hit a basket, while Hoffis also grabbed six rebounds. Coach Jones praised Reynolds for his 10 rebounds, three steals and two assists as well as his points.

Dec. 9, Lake George defeated Whitehall 62 to 50. In that game, Alex Jones was hailed for sparking his team to victory with 11 points, 4 steals and 5 assists. Scrime led the Warriors with 18 points followed by McLaughlin’s 14 and Flatley’s 11.

For the Railroaders, Evan St. Claire tallied 24 points.

On Dec. 6, Lake George cruised over Ticonderoga 60-43 after a commanding 19-8 first quarter. Over the game, Scrime posted 20 points, followed by Flatley’s 17. McLaughlin had 7 points, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 assists in the victory, in which every Warrior player scored. Scrime and Jones both had five rebounds.

In their season opener against Maple Hill on Nov. 30, Scrime tallied 25 points, 12 rebounds and five steals. Jones followed with 19 points, Flatley added 10 and McLaughlin

Burghers to host basketball tourney On Thursday Dec. 29, the George Khoury Christmas Invitational tournament starts its two-day run beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the Burghers joined by Doane Stuart, MinervaNewcomb and The King’s School. The second round of the Khoury tourney continues Friday. Warrensburg stands at 0-4 in the Adirondack League, 0-6 overall and is counting on a victory or two in this tournament.

Most recently, the Burghers were defeated 66-52 by the talented Hadley-Luzerne team, which is enjoying a good year so far. The Burghers’ performance has been improving, narrowing their opponents’ margins as they progress through this rebuilding year.

In the game against the Eagles, Garry Ross was top scorer for the Burghers with 19 points and 10 rebounds, matching the Eagles two top scorers, Cody Patnode and Connor Backus in points. Following Ross was Zach Smith and Joe Turner with 11 points each, John Kelly with 5 points, and Evan McDuff and Cole Lanfear with 3 each. Kelly and Turner had six rebounds apiece.

The Burghers were neck-and-neck with the Eagles until they were outscored 20-8 in the third quarter; Kelly was praised by coach Mike Perrone for holding Backus, a prolific scorer, to six points through the first three quarters.

ABOVE: Late in the fourth quarter against Maple Hill on Dec. 23, Lake George basketball players hear inspirational advice from coach Dave Jones after Maple Hill narrowed the Warriors’ lead with several threepointers. Lake George prevailed with some key foul shots in the final seconds to win the game 59-47. The victory preserved their unbeaten record for 2016-17.

InÊ pivotalÊ leagueÊ battle,Ê CougarsÊ haltÊ LakeÊ GeorgeÕ sÊ winningÊ streak

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

CHESTERTOWN — The North Warren girls basketball team wrote a full chapter in their school’s history book Dec. 21, as their small-school D team beat Lake George, the Section II 2015-16 champions who last week were ranked No. 4 in New York State among all Class C schools.

The Cougars beat the Warriors by a score of 65-58, leading the entire highly physical game.

Both teams battled to remain undefeated in Adirondack League play this season. Last year, Lake George had a 21game winning streak.

For years, Lake George has prevailed in the Western division of the league, which is now split up into three divisions by school size rather than geographically. North Warren is one of the smallest of all the schools in the league; Lake George is one of the largest.

In the pivotal league showdown, North Warren was strong right out of the gate, then kept the pressure intense throughout the game.

The Cougar win was a considerable achievement, considering they were going up against a squad that features Graceann Bennett, a sophomore All-State guard-forward who scored 395 points last year and is averaging 26 points and nearly 18 rebounds per game this year — backed up by four other players with impressive statistics.

North Warren Senior Madasyn Bush — game high-scorer with 34 points along with 14 rebounds — offered her thoughts about how her team managed the feat that other teams have been unable to accomplish.

“Coach Hogan told us that we had to show up and put everything we had into the game from the start,” she said. “Our

team came in knowing we would have to work hard non-stop the entire game.

Senior Hannah Kenney, who scored 9 points in the game, also said her teammates were focused on victory.

“We went in with a mind-set to just play our hardest, no matter what the outcome might be,” she said.

The Cougars indeed worked hard. They pressured the Warriors everywhere on the court. All season, they’d practiced their full-court press, and they employed it successfully against the Warriors.

The Cougars lead 12-8 by the end of the first quarter —

which Bush described as a slow start for her team — then they widened their lead to 32-18 by the half.

“I started off rough and knew I had to get my head into the game,” she said, as she praised her teammates for their work.

“Alyssa Dewar had the defense we needed to guard Graceann and Hannah Kenney added the ‘threes’ we needed,” she said, adding that sophomore Sydney Gagnon — utilizing her exceptional speed — often scrambled into the passing lanes to deflect the Warrior’s passes.

“Our team has chemistry because we know we need each

other, she said.

With Lake George’s resurgence as halftime approached, Kenney shot two three-pointers to secure North Warren’s lead.

Gagnon, who tallied 12 points and four assists for the Cougars, said all her teammates played with intensity.

“We went into this game pumped and ready to put in our ‘all’,” Gagnon said, noting that Alyssa Dewar was focused on pursuing Bennett, and that Bush was hot on offense — she scored 9 two-point shots, one three-pointer and an impressive 13 points from the foul line — which shows how scrappy Lake George’s defense was.

“Coach P.J. Hogan is a huge factor in our success,” Gagnon added. “He pushes us to do our best.”

The Cougars’ remarkable teamwork was developed through hundreds of practices and dozens of games throughout middle school, Gagnon said.

“Our basketball team is more of a family than anything,” she said. “We have each other’s backs on and off the court and support each other.”

Kenney said all those hours in practice paid off.

“Lots of hard work, conditioning and defensive drills won us the game,” she said. “Scoring just comes when you play good defense.”

The Cougars’ family spirit compelled them to step up their game when Bush, Gagnon, and Sarah Stewart got into foul trouble or were hurt, Gagnon added.

“I was impressed that we played smart on the court and kept fighting ‘til the end,” she said.

Bennett drew many of those fouls, ending up as Lake George’s top scorer for the game with 27 points plus grabbing eight rebounds. Award-winning senior shooting guard Lacey Cormie contributed 12 points to the Warriors effort including two 3-pointers. Alauna Wright posted 8 points and 8 rebounds, Nikki Hladik scored 6 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, and Alysia Kane added 5 points.

For the Cougars, Alyssa Dewar scored 7 points and Sarah Stewart added 3 to help out Bush, Gagnon and Kenney in their collective offensive attack.

With the win, North Warren is 4-0 in the Adirondack League and 6-1 overall — and Lake George is 3-1 and 4-1 respectively.

BurghersÊ matmenÊ remainÊ undefeated;Ê WarEaglesÊ gainÊ aÊ victory

By Thom Randall

thom@suncommunitynews.com

WARRENSBURG — One rookie Burgher wrestler who won his first-ever varsity match in overtime and another who stayed home from a family holiday vacation were credited with being key factors in the Warrensburg-Bolton wrestling team defeating Salem-Cambridge 39-30 on Dec. 21 and staying undefeated in the Adirondack League.

In the 113-point weight class, Bolton sophomore Dustin Reiter was trailing Salem senior Mara Jarvis 10-11 with 11 seconds left in regulation time, and he escaped Jarvis’ hold to tie the score. Then in overtime, Reiter conducted a takedown within 25 seconds to win the match.

Burgher coach Mark Trapasso noted how important the match was for the Burgher win.

“Dustin wrestled like crazy, and it was huge for our team,” Trapasso said after the meet. “All our wrestlers went nuts after the match — Dustin really came through for us.”

At 152 pounds, Burgher sophomore Nolan McNeill decisioned Tyler Linendoll, 6-0. This match may have been a forfeit if McNeill hadn’t stayed home to wrestle while the rest of his family flew out to Colorado for a holiday vacation, Trapasso said.

“For Nolan to stay home and delay his vacation flight is true dedication — and we needed it to win,” he said.

At 285 pounds, Burgher junior Gary Hill decisioned Cambridge football star Colton Dean 7-4.

“This was a big, big win for Gary,” Trapasso said.

Also helping the Burgher effort were two wrestlers who were outmatched, but resisted getting pinned: Senior Jared West at 170 pounds, who lost a 9-3 decision to Seth Turcie of Salem, and sophomore Chris Wilson at 182 pounds who lost a 7-0 decision to Salem’s Ryan Slater.

Also, Burgher sophomore Chris Simpson at 132 pounds pinned Tyler Andrews in 2:49, and junior Jack Binder of Warrensburg pinned Sam Stacks in merely 39 seconds, impressing the crowd — which included a lot of Warrensburg alumni home for the holidays.

Other Burghers winning their matches were: • Warrensburg 7th grader Dylan Winchell pinned Jacob Lisowski in 3:15 at 99-pounds.

Drinks will be available at the ice bar — with food trucks offering their specialties — to people gathered around the Deuce Moose fire pits between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday Dec. 30, between noon and 7:30 p.m. Saturday Dec. 31, and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday Jan. 1.

William Dow, 80, the CEO of the Lake George Steamboat Co., has worked for the enterprise for nearly one-third of its 200-year existence. His father bought the business in 1945 from the Delaware & Hudson Railroad in 1945, and it’s been owned and operated by the Dow family since then.

Bill Dow began working for his father in 1952 as a deck hand, then went off to college, served in the U.S. Navy and returned to re-join his father’s business in 1964, and he rose to the CEO post thereafter.

Dow said that owning both the Lake George and New Orleans steamboat companies has provided him with the opportunity to help people connect with the nation’s heritage.

“I don’t take pride in the ownership of the companies — but I do take pride in the companies themselves, and what they do for people,” he said.

“When I go to ‘the big steamboat in the sky,’ I like to think the company will continue long after,” he said.

Lake George Polar Plunge details The Lake George New Year’s Day Polar Plunge is to be conducted beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday Jan. 1 in several waves of about 400 people each charging into the water in 15-minute intervals until all the polar swimmers are accommodated.

Registration begins earlier at 10:30 a.m. at Duffy’s Tavern on Amherst St. Those who seek to avoid the annual long lines can pre-register at the tavern from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Those registering for the free event have the option of obtaining a 2017 Polar Plunge long-sleeved T-shirt for $15.

At the conclusion of the swim, an after-party begins at Duffy’s Tavern. The rock band Master Cylinders will be performing from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and beverage specials will be offered to polar plungers.

Revelers are urged to bring dry clothing, a towel, a robe

or outerwear, and perhaps most important, sneakers or water shoes to protect feet.

The Lake George Polar Plunge is a phenomenon that’s not only listed in Wikipedia, but its unique in the region, with hundreds of people expressing their creativity with offbeat antics and bizarre costumes which provide fun for all ages.

“You have to experience it to really appreciate how fun it is,” event organizer Linda Duffy said.

The Lake George Steamboat Co. will be offering three cruises over the New Year’s weekend, including a New Year’s Party Cruise — complete with fireworks over Lake George — to welcome in 2017.

Wildlife Institute awarded Pearsall grant

Holly Bearor with the buck she got while hunting with a black powder musket.

Bearor << Continued from | p. 1

She started attending historic re-enactments as a French marine.

“I said someday I want to participate, throw a tomahawk, shoot,” Bearor said. “My first reenactment as a French marine was the Battle on Snowshoes. I went from being a camp follower to a French marine private.

“It gave me a lot more to do. It was fun being a guy.”

The re-enactment in 2000 simulated the original March 1758 encounter between Rogers’ Rangers and French troops near what is now the Ticonderoga Country Club.

Next, she participated in the Death of Lord Howe re-enactment in 2001, which recreated events leading up to the

July 1758 killing of British Lord George Howe by French forces.

“I was on the top of Mount Pelee (Rogers’ Rock),” she said. “I had to be (play) a guy to be there.”

She said many re-enactors are now calling themselves living historians.

Bearor enjoyed 18th-century-like frontier trekking in the forests, but has had to scale back because of a knee replacement.

“I had my left knee replaced; now I’m having my right knee done,” she said.

“We go canoeing now.”

In recent years, they’ve done the U.S. Forest Services’s Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness in northern Minnesota.

She also goes hunting with a black powder muzzleloader.

“I got a buck,” she said. “I normally

hunt every year with a flintlock.”

The hunting was an experiment, she said.

“I wanted to prove to myself that back in the 18th century, if I was alive, I could provide for my family,” Bearor said. “I proved I could do it.”

The flintlock she uses is very accurate, her husband, French and Indian War historian Robert Bearor said.

“If your eyesight is good you can hit it (your target),” he said. “She’s an amazing woman. What adventures we’ve had.”

Holly and Robert have four grown children: Cliff, Ted, Rebecca and Jennifer.

“My greatest achievement was that I had four children, and they all turned out to be great human beings,” Mrs. Bearor said.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Wildlife Institute of Eastern New York recently announced that it has been awarded a donation by the Glenn & Carol Pearsall Adirondack Foundation.

Since the foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for year-round residents of the Adirondack Park, the institute will use the funds to support environmental education programs for elementary and middle school students in Crown Point, Newcomb and Minerva central school districts, organizers say.
