Queensbury Union Free School District Hires New School Resource Officer

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Education, Featured, Workforce.

When students return to campus in September,  they will see a new face in uniform – retired NYPD lieutenant Robert Sannasardo will take on the role of School Resource Officer on September 5th, replacing Harry McDonald, who will be leaving the district.

Sannasardo will be joining George Carpenter as the second SRO at Queensbury Union Free School District. 

Sannasardo, 43, moved his family to Queensbury from New Windsor in July after retiring from the New York City Police Department… They moved to Queensbury for the school district and the number of after-school activities. 

He took a job as a bus driver for the district in October.: “I enjoy talking and interacting with the kids on my bus,” Sannasardo said. “I want to do more than just drive them to and from school, so I looked into becoming a school resource officer.”

Sannasardo has already formed positive relationships with the students on his bus route and with those he drives to sporting events. 

“I park the bus and I sit there and I cheer them on,” said Sannasardo, who also has two young children who attend Queensbury UFSD.

In his new role, Sannasardo will continue to build positive relationships with district staff, students and parents as he patrols school campus and responds to any emergency situations. 

He will be a liaison between the school and the Warren County Sheriff’s Department, as well as a liaison for the school safety committee and part of the incident command structure, assisting with fire drills and lockdowns and walking the buildings looking for propped doors… His job, overall, will be to prevent or minimize dangerous situations. 

Sannasardo received training this summer, and will tour the 222-acre campus and its property lines. He will start the first week of school. 

“The safety of our students and staff is our No. 1 priority at Queensbury,” said Superintendent of Schools Kyle Gannon. “I am excited to bring Officer Sannasardo onto our team to ensure we continue to give our students a safe learning environment.”

Sections of Quaker Road Closed to Evening Traffic August 20th- 24th

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Business, Community, Featured, Workforce.

A portion of Quaker Road in Queensbury will be closed to all traffic during the evenings of Sunday, August 20th through Thursday, August 24th, as contractors resurface a section of the road.

The stretch of Quaker Road between Ridge Road and Quaker Ridge Boulevard (entrance to Walmart)  will be closed to traffic between 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM these evenings. Those who plan to visit the Walmart store on Quaker Ridge Boulevard – the only business in this stretch of road regularly scheduled to be open during these hours – will be able to do so from Quaker Road by entering the road from Dix Avenue.

From 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM, the Quaker Road will be closed from Ridge Road to Dix Avenue. Those intending to head east on Quaker Road during the closure will be able to use a signed detour onto Ridge Road to Hicks Road, Queensbury Avenue, and Dix Avenue.

The closure will occur as contractors resurface the road in preparation for re-paving. This work is part of a rehabilitation of 3.96 miles of Quaker Road that began in June, and is expected to wrap up in the Fall.

Motorists are reminded to move over and slow down significantly whenever encountering roadside vehicles displaying red, white, blue, amber, or green lights, including maintenance and construction vehicles in work zones.

Battlefield Park Alliance Hosts Members and Holds Elections

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

The Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance held its annual meeting on Saturday, August 19th at Battlefield Park, where Alliance President John DiNuzzo reported on the organization’s success over the past 12 months… During this time the Lake George Battlefield Alliance has seen a 78% increase in membership, and have hosted programs that have attracted as many as 152 attendees!

Russell P. Bellico, author and Alliance Trustee 

DiNuzzo also noted that the Battlefield Park Visitor Center seems very likely to exceed its attendance figure from last year, due to popular exhibits such as the diorama of Abercromby’s 1758 flotilla donated by the Adirondack Experience, artifacts of Native Americans, an 18th Century British bateau provided by the State Museum, and a replica cannon loaned by Fort William Henry.

The Alliance membership elected the following individuals to serve on the organization’s Board of Trustees:

• President: John DiNuzzo of Lake George

• Vice President: Francis Cocozza of Lake George

• Secretary: Peter Wuerdeman of Queensbury

• Trustee: Vinnie Crocitto III of Lake George

• Trustee: Jay Levenson of Ballston Lake

• Trustee: Bob Wilcox of Clifton Park

They will join the Alliance’s current governing body incumbents: Rosemarie Earl the Treasurer, and Trustees Larry Arnold, Russell Bellico, Todd Earl, Margaret Mannix, Pat Niles, and Bruce Venter.

The day’s events concluded with a presentation by Phil Giltner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, who shared the State’s plans for the 250 anniversary of the American Revolution and highlighted the number of Revolutionary sites in New York – a number unequaled among the states.

Phil Giltner, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

DiNuzzo concluded his remarks by highlighting some of the events for the year ahead, and thanking volunteers: “It’s been a terrific year for the Alliance, thanks to the member-volunteers who have worked behind the scenes with our board to bring great programs to fruition. Despite some challenges that all history organizations face, many unique opportunities – as represented by our excellent Visitor Center, the prospect of reinterring in the Battlefield Park the remains of 44 Continental soldiers found in 2019 at Lake George, the upcoming 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, and several other initiatives already underway – await us!”

Heidelberg Inn to be Featured on America’s Best Restaurants

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

QUEENSBURY, NY – Local restaurant Heidelberg Inn will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR) in late August 2023.

America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, will bring its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on August 29th. Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owner John Weber about the restaurant’s special place in the community. The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.

Heidelberg Inn, open since 1972, has been under Weber’s ownership for over eight years. He claims they are the last truly authentic German restaurant in the area. With an outdoor covered biergarten, staff in traditional lederhosen or dirndls, and a full menu of German and American specialties all made from scratch, they offer a fun and different experience for locals and tourists alike.

“I think there’s something unique about what we offer and what we’re doing,” he says. He is looking forward to the upcoming visit from ABR to potentially get new customers in the door.

They have a big draw for Oktoberfest, which runs from mid-September through October at the restaurant.

A popular menu item that may be featured on the episode is the ‘German Tour’, a platter of options which consists of veal jagerschnitzel, choice of one wurst (which is sourced from a NYC charcuterie) and sauerbraten, which is beef marinated in a red wine vinaigrette for ten to twelve days, slow cooked for hours, and served with a beef-based gingersnap gravy.

“It’s definitely unique,” notes Weber. “Some people come in exclusively for that.”

And don’t forget the German beers on tap, available in das boot – 1.25 liters or 2 liters in a glass shaped like a boot.

America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location on Tuesday August 29th from 9 am to noon EST. The press is invited to attend but the filming is closed to the public. The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/rests/new-york/heidelberg-inn.

Restaurants featured on the ABR Roadshow are found through customer nominations or by a restaurant applying to be featured at www.americasbestrestaurants.com.

About Heidelberg Inn: Open Wednesday through Sunday, Heidelberg Inn is located at 352 Quaker Rd, Queensbury NY 12804. Telephone is (518) 792-5556. For more information visit www.heidelbergny.com.

Tim Drawbridge Leaving City Service

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Downtown, Featured, Workforce.

Tim Drawbridge, the City’s first full-time Communications Director, is taking a new position in the Capital District closer to his daughter, and will be leaving the City before the end of the month.

“Tim has taken on a significant challenge here in Glens Falls,” said Mayor Collins. “Tim is the City’s first true communications director – and if we learned anything during his tenure, it’s that the position is critical to keeping City residents informed.”

“While we all are sad that he is leaving, we appreciate all of his hard work to blaze the trail on the outreach processes we are now using every day,” Collins said.

During his tenure, Tim created hundreds of press statements and news releases, developed processes to ensure that critical information was distributed as widely as possible, and set in motion a number of upcoming changes that are expected to streamline how City news and events are published.

“It has been my incredible honor to work with Mayor Collins and all of the talented City employees who go about their work largely unnoticed,” said Drawbridge. “I hope that we’ve been able to shine a light on all of the hard work being done for the benefit of the community.”

Thanks to Tim, the City has presences on social media channels that didn’t exist previously, expanding the ability for the City to reach out directly to more residents than ever before: “With Tim’s departure, we will be posting the position immediately in an effort to have little to no break in outreach with our residents,” said Collins. “You can find job information on the City’s social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn), and on the City website at https://cityofglensfalls.com/jobs.aspx

Warren County 2040 is led by a nine-person Project Advisory Group, representative of county leadership, staff, and community members who were nominated through an open solicitation process this spring and summer.

The Project Advisory Group includes residents with a diversity of perspectives from different stages of life, community engagements, and geographies. The Project Advisory Group’s work will be reported to the Board of Supervisors’ Economic Growth and Development Committee.

The group is made up of: Ryan Hutton (Chester), Patrick Dowd (Glens Falls), Joshua Westfall (Bolton), Brady Stark (Queensbury), Tammy DeLorenzo (Bolton), Paul Cummings (Queensbury), Craig Leggett (Chester), Connie Bosse (Glens Falls), Anna Bowers (North Creek). Molly McCarthy (Chester) is an alternate for Anna Bowers.

The Project Advisory Group will help guide the technical planning work that will be conducted by a consultant team led by LaBella Associates of Glens Falls.

Ethan Gaddy, Warren County Planner, said Warren County 2040 will be a stakeholder-driven, inclusive planning process to ensure that community priorities are at the heart of the Comprehensive Plan. Community members will have an opportunity to provide feedback and participate in public events, surveys, and focus groups throughout the planning process.

“Input from the public and other stakeholders in the county is critical to the development of Warren County 2040,” Gaddy explained. “The consultant team and the Project Advisory Group will develop a robust public engagement plan to ensure that the public is involved and assisting us throughout the process.”

Warren County Planning Department will also be providing regular updates on the Comprehensive Plan’s progress through the website, its social media accounts, and e-mail outreach.

The Warren County Planning Department is committed to transparency at all stages of plan development… The Wednesday, August 23rd meeting is open to the public, and will be held at Warren County Municipal Center’s Human Services Building, starting at 10:00 AM, though public participation will be limited at this stage of the process. Additional public meetings are planned in the future.
