Summer Swimming Lessons at Glens Falls High School

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

The City of Glens Falls Recreation Department will be offering swimming lessons in three different two-week sessions at the Glens Falls High School swimming pool! The first session will begin on Monday, June 26th. The cost is $60 for each swimmer for each of the two-week sessions.

The swimming lessons will be tailored to six different levels of swimming:

Level 1: Water Exploration (Ages 3 years old & older) – This course is designed to help preschoolers feel comfortable in the water.  Elementary aquatic skills will be taught, which will allow students to develop fundamental skills and good foundation as they progress through the various levels of swimming.

Level 2: Primary Skills (Ages 4 years old & older) – This level will build on the student’s success in developing fundamental skills and the beginning of true locomotion skills. Students will learn to float without any assistance from the instructor, and to recover themselves into a vertical swimming position.

Level 3: Stroke Readiness (Ages 5 to 6 years old & older) – At this level of swimming, students will learn to perform the front crawl and the back crawl, the rules for diving safely into the water, as well as the fundamentals of treading water and doing the backstroke.  All students must demonstrate what is taught at the Level 2 swimming level before moving up to Level 3.

Level 4: Stroke Development (Ages 7 to 8 years old & older) – The objective of this level is to develop more confidence in performing the front crawl and the back crawl as well as the backstroke while starting to increase the swimmer’s ability to perform these swimming movements over a longer distance.  Swimmers will also be introduced to the breaststroke and the sidestroke while learning to turn at the side of the pool.  All swimmers must demonstrate what is taught at the Level 3 swimming level before moving up to Level 4.

Level 5: Stroke Refinement (Ages 9 to 10 years old & older) – At this level, swimmers will continue to refine the various swimming strokes learned at the lower levels while being introduced to the butterfly stroke, the feet-first surface dive as well as springboard diving.  Swimmers will also be expected to further increase their swimming distances with the front crawl, the back crawl, the side stroke, and the back stroke.  All swimmers must demonstrate what is taught at the Level 4 swimming level before moving up to Level 5.

Level 6: Skill Proficiency (ages 11 & up) – This is the highest level that will be taught as all swimmers will focus on improving the various swimming strokes so one can swim with great ease, efficiency, and power over a long distance.  Swimmers will also be introduced to the pike and tuck surface dives.  All swimmers must demonstrate what is taught at the Level 5 swimming level before moving up to Level 6.

The first session will begin on Monday, June 26th, and run to Friday, July 7th.  The second session will run from Monday, July 10th, to Friday, July 21st…  And, the third session will run from Monday, July 24th, to Friday, August 4th.  All levels of swimming will be scheduled as follows:

Chef Donnah Dignan-Lewis Receives Women of Distinction Award

Chef Donnah receives 2023 Women of Distinction Award from Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner

Lunch has become an event many students look forward to at Glens Falls High School! Much of that is thanks to the hard work the Head Chef for the High School and Middle School, Donnah Dignan-Lewis, and the entire cafeteria staff put into their delicious creations each and every day.

Chef Donnah’s contributions to the community go well beyond the school campus, which is why she is one of the recipients of the 2023 Women of Distinction Award, given out by Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner.

“For generations, women have made a difference in our communities, often with little recognition or acclaim,” said Assemblywoman Woerner. “These awards are given each year to women who have gone above and beyond to make a positive difference in the lives of others.”

Chef Donnah has been working in the food industry since 1998, and has been with the Glens Falls City School District since 2020. However, her connections to the Glens Falls community run much deeper. She owned and operated G.G. Mama’s Restaurant for eight years, and currently operates a personal chef and catering business when she isn’t busy making meals for students.

Elementary Art Teacher Suzanne Reed nominated Chef Donnah for the award. In the nomination Reed highlighted how excited and energized the entire school community has been about the food being offered in the cafeteria.

“Donnah has been cooking amazing, restaurant-quality food for school lunches,” said Mrs. Reed. “She has an ethnic flair to her cooking and has been introducing students to amazing new cuisine every day. She cooks healthy, interesting meals – some of them vegetarian. I simply can’t believe how delicious her food looks and how it’s opening the eyes of our students to cuisine from around the world.”

When Chef Doonah is not busy with her catering business or feeding our hungry students, she enjoys spending time with her two daughters and working out at ADK Crossfit and Queensbury Hot Yoga.

City of Glens Falls – Storm Water Separation Making A HUGE Difference!

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

For decades, the City of Glens Falls has been continuing to protect the environment, preserve its investments, and be good stewards of the environment by removing a significant amount of stormwater being sent to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)… These changes to the city’s infrastructure have made a huge difference in the number of bypasses at the WWTP, resulting in a substantially lower amount of overflow into the Hudson River!

“In the last several years, the city has spent more than $17-million separating stormwater from sewer water by installing separate pipes for each purpose,” said Mayor Bill Collins. “This progression of separating sewer lines and storm water lines has made a significant difference, as we’ve seen a 50% reduction in the number of bypasses and an 85% reduction in the total amount of bypassed sewage at the WWTP into the Hudson River… Even if a bypass is required, WWTP blends bypassed sewage with treated effluent, and our impact on the Hudson River is minimal and very difficult to measure.”

“The number of bypasses continues to depend on the amount of precipitation during the year and the intensity of a rain event,” said Bill Norton, Superintendent of the Water and Sewer Department.  “Glens Falls and the surrounding area have experienced an increase of intense rain events over the last couple of years… When we receive a large amount of rain in a short period of time, the result is the collection system experiencing a rapid increase in flow, that peaks and then quickly dissipates. When the rainfall intensity exceeds 0.1 inches within 15 minutes, or exceeds 0.2 inches in five minutes, a bypass event is most likely to happen… Conversely, rain events that have been spread out over four hours or more while also receiving up to an inch of rain have not resulted in any bypass issues.”

“The number of bypasses and the amount of sewage overflow during an intense rain event continues to decrease as we improve our system through this separation program,“ continued Norton. “The removal of storm water and ground water flow from infiltrating the collection system has allowed the WWTP to reduce daily flow and improve the amount of sewage treated… That’s even while additional tributary sewage flow has been added from the Town of Queensbury, the Village of South Glens Falls, and the Town of Moreau. These three ‘Tributary Communities’ contribute about 32% to the City of Glens Falls WWTP daily flow.”

“Additional efforts to reduce the storm water impact on the sanitary sewer line have been made by using bioretention basins, rain gardens, and dry wells to collect the runoff and allow the water to seep into the ground after receiving any amount of rainfall,” stated Collins. “The City of Glens Falls has concentrated on separating the combined sewer systems while performing road construction and repair projects. I know the Planning Board is paying particular attention to stormwater management on any building permits submitted, and those efforts are playing out now in the oldest part of the city – including South Street, Broad Street, Elm Street, Warren Street, Glen Street, Bay Street, Ridge Street and Hudson Avenue.”

If you would like any additional information, or if you would like to discuss the stormwater management program with the Glens Falls Water and Sewer Department staff, please contact the office during regular business hours at (518) 761-3850. Otherwise, for more information regarding this or any other issue, please reach out via email at communicationsdirector@cityofglensfalls.com, or tdrawbridge@cityofglensfalls.com. If your issue is urgent or if you’re looking to speak with Mayor Collins regarding a formal comment, please call (518) 920-4884.

July 14th Payment Deadline Set For Tax Delinquent Property Owners In Warren County

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

Warren County property owners who are delinquent on property tax bills should contact Warren County Real Property Tax Services by Friday, July 14th, 2023 to discuss payment arrangements as deadlines approach for the annual tax foreclosure auction.

Warren County property owners who are behind on their taxes and would like to discuss a payment plan should contact Lexie Delurey, Warren County Director of Real Property Tax Services, at (518) 761-6466 by 9:00 AM on July 14th to avoid potential public auction of their property to recoup taxes.

The Warren County Board of Supervisors is considering doing away with the annual “last chance” public meeting for tax-delinquent property owners this year in light of dwindling attendance, so arrangements must be made with the Real Property Tax Services Office Director by July 14th.

In addition, Real Property Tax Services staff will be visiting tax-delinquent properties the week of June 5th, 2023 to begin the process of posting them for the annual property auction. This year’s auction has been scheduled for October 21, 2023 at Warren County Municipal Center.

For more information, please visit the Warren County Real Property Tax Services website.

Key Club & NHS High School Kids Visit Senior Living Community

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

Residents at The Landing at Queensbury recently received a special visit from Fort Ann Central School students! Students who participate in National Honor Society and Key Club helped with a variety of tasks and socialized with the residents. The Landing at Queensbury is an assisted living facility and memory care unit in Queensbury, where residents maintain an independent lifestyle while continuing to grow and and maximize their abilities while receiving the best senior living and memory-care services. 

For their “Senior Give-Back Day” in May, the students did a variety of cleaning tasks for the residents, including wiping down the dining room and picking up debris outside. They also played a game of dominoes, enjoyed an ice cream social, and visited with the dementia care connections residents in their outdoor courtyard.

“We are so grateful for their visit and their generosity,” shared Alisha Stosic, Executive Director of The Landing at Queensbury. “They did so much in a short amount of time. We can’t wait for them to visit us again!”

Intergenerational friendships create powerful benefits for both groups… Each group learns from each other and forms a special bond, building respect and support.
