Warren County Probation Department Teaches Life Skills Through Gardening

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

The Warren County Probation Department has instituted a program to teach life skills to young people who are put on probation through gardening. Leaders of the program hope that this program will better prepare youths on probation for their lives to come.

Thursday, July 20th was an uplifting day for the staff of the Juvenile Unit of the Warren County Probation Department – it was the day the first tomato was harvested from the new garden being minded by the agency’s youth probationers, under the supervision of their probation officers!

As of early August, six youth have been spending parts of their supervisory visits with Probation staff planting, weeding, watering and tilling in the “Warren County Youth Garden” in what was a vacant field at the Municipal Center. It sits near a perennial wildflower “pollinator” garden that has taken shape the last few years.

The vegetable garden rules are spelled out in bright lettering on a sign outside the garden fence – work hard, be kind, stay on the path, pick up after yourself, and be respectful.

The summer weather has made for challenges, with extra watering needed in June before the summer deluge began… But a robust crop of veggies is shaping up, to be eaten by families of the probationers and donated to community organizations. As is the case with many gardens, there will be a ton of zucchini!

One teen probationer who has been most active in the garden is Caleb, 16, from Lake George, who said: “I go to the garden, let out my stress, with all of these plants, I am feeling blessed. I look forward to coming to the garden. Our garden has helped me learn how to take care of plants, and be part of a team that is responsible for them.”

Amy Secor, supervisor of the Probation Department Juvenile Unit, said: “When we have juveniles who are put on probation, we do an initial assessment that includes learning their interests. During a recent assessment, a number of them said gardening was an interest. We did some research and found there are mental health benefits to gardening, and life skills that our youth will gain from this as well. Our probation officers have been relentless in attending to the garden and ensuring that our youth are building skills through creative alternatives to supervision.”

Special thanks for this project goes to Warren County Buildings and Grounds and Warren County Soil & Water Conservation District, who provided vital assistance in getting the program off the ground.

Amy Secor noted that “Jim Lieberum and Jake Dunkley, from Warren County Soil and Water, really impressed me with their willingness to provide us with grant funding and support to start the project as well as offered ideas and resources that we can use for future collaborations. The Building and Grounds crew are invested in the garden as well. They check on it regularly and check in with us to see how things are going. They have made it a fun project for all of us, not just the youth. “

Follow-Up: Water Discoloration in the City of Glens Falls

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

As another follow up to “Water Discoloration Issues” first experienced in the City of Glens Falls during the week of July 24:

Per Bill Norton, Superintendent of the Water and Sewer Department: “Employees at the City of Glens Falls Water Filtration Plant (WFP) continue to monitor and follow up with a few city residents who have made complaints regarding their water quality. While there have been no additional calls or complaints over the last five days, the WFP continues to monitor the situation since the exact cause of these issues has still yet to be determined.”

As you may recall, a couple of weeks ago, the Glens Falls Water Distribution System experienced sporadic very high flow demands for extended periods of time. These flows were “spiking” in nature, and it was believed to be caused by a very high demand and not a break within the water distribution system.

These sporadic demands greatly increased the turbidity (color and cloudiness issues) in certain portions of the Glens Falls Water Distribution System.

If you have any questions or believe you’re experiencing cloudiness in your water, you are asked to contact the Glens Falls Water Filtration Plant at 518-312-4571.

Summary of “Last of the Mohicans” Program Held on August 3 at Fort William Henry Conference Center

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Columns, Community, Entertainment, Featured, In the Arts.

LAKE GEORGE, NY – The presentation by the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and the French and Indian War Society at Lake George of a program entitled “James Fenimore Cooper: History & Fiction in ‘The Last of the Mohicans’”, drew a rapt audience of 152 to the Fort William Henry Conference Center, Lake George on Thursday evening, August 3.

Dr. Nick Junkerman, Associate Professor of English Literature at Skidmore College, recounted
the backstory of Cooper’s life and the creation of the book’s memorable characters, such as
Natty Bumppo/Hawkeye, Magua, Chingachgook and Uncas, in the context of the historical
events surrounding the Siege of Fort William Henry in 1757.

The 50-minute presentation was followed by an extended question-and-answer session by Dr.
Junkerman with the audience, many of whom expressed appreciation for their enhanced
understanding of the Siege and its aftermath that occurred at Fort William Henry, the nearby
Lake George Battlefield Park (site of a large British encampment and much of the massacre that
occurred following the British surrender to the French), and other area locales referenced by
Cooper in his story.

About the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance

Tu-Ner Featuring King Crimson Legends Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto With Markus Reuter To Release Debut Double Album “T-1 Contact Information” August 14, 2023

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Columns, Entertainment, Featured, News.

From the kitchen of the original King Crimson R&D fraKctal units & Stick Men comes Tu-Ner featuring touch guitarist Markus Reuter, alongside the powerhouse rhythm section of Pat Mastelotto on drums and Trey Gunn on Warr guitar.

Defying logistics to grab four days together, the immersive session included repertoire rehearsal; as well as recording semi-prepared pieces and several full improvisations. The band’s chemistry has deep roots and connections are made quickly so large slabs of music appear unedited.

These two hours of recordings are the outcome of their debut double disc album “T-1 Contact Information” coming August 14th.

Pat Mastelotto – Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, and so too has Pat Mastelotto, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming. Pat has spent a lifetime jumping genres from pop, to prog, to electronica to world music with – among others – Mr. Mister, XTC, David Sylvian, The Rembrandts, Kimmo Pohjonen, and for the last 25 years with King Crimson and Stick Men.

Markus Reuter is a composer, guitarist, and producer. He began his musical journey as a composer before delving into Robert. Fripp’s Guitar Craft, mastering the Chapman Stick, and eventually transitioning to the U8 Touch Guitar. Reuter has released numerous solo albums and has collaborated extensively with various musicians. He holds a prominent position in the experimental band Anchor and Burden and forms the duo Tuner with Pat. Additionally, he was a member of Europa String Choir and has worked alongside notable artists such as Gary Husband, Robert Rich, J. Peter Schwalm, Mark Wingfield, and many others. Reuter’s versatility is evident through his involvement in Devin Townsend’s touring band. Notably, he also performs in power trios including Stick Men with Pat and Tony Levin, TRUCE with Asaf Sirkis and Fabio Trentini, and Markus Reuter/Tim Motzer/Kenny Grohowski.

Trey Gunn, the extraordinary Warr guitarist and musician, has left an indelible mark on the world of progressive music. Renowned for his virtuosic talent, he has graced the stages and recording studios with legendary acts such as King Crimson, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Robert Fripp, Happy Rhodes, Puscifer, Tool and John Paul Jones, contributing his unique blend of mesmerizing and innovative playing. As the founder of the esteemed 7D Media record label, Gunn continues to be a guiding force in curating exceptional musical experiences. Trey Gunn’s visionary artistry and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of sound make him a true luminary in the realm of progressive music.
