Queensbury UFSD Inducts First Members of the New Athletics Hall of Fame

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Education, Featured, Sports.

When John “Jack” LaBombard came to Queensbury in 1966, he fell in love. 

“I absolutely fell in love with Queensbury,” LaBombard said. “Not just the school and the district, but even looking around at the mountains, it felt like home.”

LaBombard was a physical education teacher at Queensbury Union Free School District from 1966 to 1997 and coached baseball, football, golf, and wrestling… LaBombard led Queensbury’s varsity wrestling program for 31 years and is considered one of the most successful wrestling coaches in New York State history!

LaBombard was inducted into the Queensbury UFSD’s new Athletics Hall of Fame during a ceremony Saturday, October 14th at the Courtyard by Marriott in Lake George. 

“I showed up every day, and I worked hard, and I was very intense, and I loved the kids, I loved the school, I loved everything about it,” LaBombard said. “Teaching and education in general is a giving profession. A little bit of you gives every day when you go to school… And coaching is a giving profession.”

The new Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes and honors athletes, coaches, teams, administrators, staff and community members who have made significant contributions to Queensbury’s athletics program. 

After nearly 75 years of athletic excellence, the inaugural class includes two teams of distinction and 41 individual honorees. The first half of the group was inducted Saturday. The second half will be inducted in fall of 2024.

Tim Jones, the school’s sports information specialist, served as the evening’s master of ceremonies. Jones spent countless hours researching, and collecting information and stories about the rich history of Queensbury athletics. 

“It is truly humbling to be in the presence of this tremendous group of inductees and a pleasure to honor your gifts and achievements,” Jones told the crowd. “Thank you all for authoring such amazing stories, which embody the Spartan spirit. To those we’ve lost, the memories of your contributions to Queensbury’s history of athletics and our community will be cherished forever.”

Rich Keys – Queensbury’s director of health, physical education and athletics – recalled being interviewed by Lloyd Mott, who was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame.  

“I always knew that if I could work to develop the passion for coaching and teaching that both Terry Martin and Jack LaBombard had, have the poise of Bill Smith, Al Hammel’s ability to connect with children, Fran Cabana’s energy and enthusiasm – that of a superhero, which many of those elementary students still think that he is – and the class and professionalism of Lloyd Mott, things would work out just fine.

“Now, it’s been 30 years, and I haven’t achieved any of those things,” Keys laughed, “but I certainly am appreciative for what those people have done to influence me so I could further my career and have an opportunity to do things like this.”

Robert “Bob” Glendening traveled to Queensbury from his home in Scotland to be inducted into the Hall of Fame… A standout three-sport athlete at Queensbury, Glendening was a Major League Baseball eighth-round draft pick, and signed with the Chicago Cubs following his junior year at St. Lawrence University. Following his professional baseball career, Glendening served as a U.S. Marine Corps pilot for 14 years.

“When I see so many men that I work with now that didn’t have the background that I had — two parents who love each other, a support group like this, a dream of a childhood through high school… I’m just so grateful for all the people in this room that poured so much in me,” Glendening said.

Many athletes and coaches honored Saturday night paid homage to fellow inductee John Dennett, a physical education teacher, coach and administrator who completely transformed the district’s athletic department from 1968 to 1982. 

Jennifer Dennett Johnston held her father’s hand as she called her father a role model for his family, young athletes and the greater Queensbury community.

“He has taught us that success is not about the destination, but the journey, and that true victory is not just about winning on the field, but about winning in life,” Johnston said. “As a father, he has instilled in all of us the values of commitment, respect and integrity. He has been our pillar of strength, our source of wisdom and our greatest fan… He has shown us that greatness is not just about what you accomplish, but the impact you have on others, the lives you touch, and the legacy you leave behind.”

Superintendent of Schools Kyle Gannon reminisced about time he spent with many of the coaches honored Saturday night… He recalled the distinct voice of the late-Dr. John “Jack” V. Irion, who was Queensbury’s superintendent for 21 years from 1973 until 1994. 

Gannon coached football, and after the team lost to Scotia, Dr. Irion looked at Gannon and said, “Good game, Coach.”

“That one statement of encouragement makes me think of all the individuals being honored here tonight,” Gannon said. “‘Good game…’ Such a small but poignant way to cap off years of work, hours of practice, daily sacrifices, everything that makes these athletes, coaches and contributors extraordinary.”

Stolen Fuel Truck Recovered… Ran Out Of Fuel

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured, News.

On Monday, October 16th at 5:45 AM, a fuel truck was stolen from Rutland Fuel Company in Rutland, Vermont… The fuel truck was recovered later the same day in Glens Falls, after the truck seemingly ran out of fuel. The 2023 Frieghtliner, owned by Scot Sullivan, was carrying 800 gallons of fuel. No arrests have been made.  

 The truck was located at 1:35 PM in Glens Falls,and reported to police by Kelsey Duprey of Glens Falls: “I was pretty shocked to see the truck where I am right now just because of how far away it is,” Duprey said. 

The truck had been seen early in the morning being operated in an unsafe manner. The concerned citizen called the Rutland Fuel Company and left a message regarding the vehicle being driven recklessly. 

Owner, Scot Sullivan posted on Facebook for help. There was a sighting reported by a woman from Ticonderoga who spotted the truck and posted a video of the alleged thief wearing a hardhat and vest. She called the police.

Sullivan credits the use of social media for helping to recover the truck: “I think it helped law enforcement, and it certainly helped us track where he was. People of all walks of life were sharing it and we were getting reports of the truck in Pittsford, in Brandon, in Middlebury, in Vergennes,” Sullivan said.

Fall Trout Stocking by Warren County Fish Hatchery

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Entertainment, Featured.

Warren County Fish Hatchery

Fall is a great time to do some fishing! The staff at Warren County Fish Hatchery have begun their Fall trout stocking program, preparing allotments of rainbow trout for Schroon River and Glen Lake.

The hatchery is located on 38 acres along the Hudson River in Warrensburg. The grounds offer two sheltered picnic areas with restrooms, a children’s play area and canoe access site, as well as a large open area for other activities.

The Warren County Fish Hatchery is operated by the Parks, Recreation and Railroad division of the Warren County DPW.  The Hatchery has been in operation since 1914; however Warren County obtained the facility from New York State in 1982.  Since then, they have had great success in raising domestic brook trout, rainbow trout, landlocked Atlantic salmon, and heritage brook trout.

The fish raised here provide improved sport fishing throughout Warren County waters. Wild strains of brook trout, which are provided by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), are raised and stocked as fingerlings each fall… These fish are 3 to 4 inches long, and have been obtained as eggs from state and federal hatcheries. They are incubated, hatched and transferred to “grow out” in the hatcheries’ raceways – these are tanks that are relatively shallow and rely on a high water flow to sustain aquatic life.

In the summer months, these fish are moved to rearing ponds for future growth. The facility currently utilizes 10 rearing ponds and a Display Pond, which allows visitors a close-up view of mature trout. Their ages range from one to five years, and they may weigh upwards of five pounds. These fish are typically not stocked in area lakes and rivers, and are kept for display only.

Warren County Held Special Meeting to Begin the Process to Renew Tax

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Business, Community, Featured, Home & Garden.

On Friday, October 13th, 2023, The Warren County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting to begin the process to renew the county’s 0.25% tax on new mortgages.

Director of Public Affairs Don Lehman said: “The way the calendar falls this year, beginning the process at the regular Board of Supervisors meeting on October 20th would not have gotten it done in time for when it expires at the end of 2023, so a special meeting was scheduled.”

This tax has been on the books since 2009. Annually, Warren County collects as much as $1.6-million through this tax. This tax is renewed every three years through this process.

The board set a public hearing regarding the local law that allows the tax. This public hearing will be held at the Board of Supervisors’ monthly meeting on Friday, October 20th. This meeting will start at 10:00 AM, at Warren County Municipal Center.
