Rosalie V. Pezzulo Obituary

Written by Staff Report on March 21, 2023. Posted in Community, Featured, Obituaries.

QUEENSBURY — Rosalie V. Pezzulo (Butera), 87, of The Cedars Senior Living Community in Queensbury, passed away March 17, 2023. Rosalie was born on April 9, 1935 in Brooklyn to the late Gaspare & Josephine (Oddo) Butera. She graduated from Bishop McDonnell’s High School in Brooklyn and got her medical assistant certificate from SUNY Adirondack. She was predeceased by her husband Joseph A. Pezzulo of Ticonderoga, her parents Gaspare and Josephine Butera, her brothers Gaspare and Anthony Butera.

After high school, Rosalie developed a penpal friendship with Joseph Pezzulo who was in the US Air Force during the Korean War. Before being shipped overseas, Joe went to Brooklyn to meet with Rosalie and they fell in love. Rosalie and Joe were married upon his return home from Korea. Joe passed away after their 61st wedding anniversary.

The most fulfilling work for Rosalie was her time as Dr. William Tedesco’s medical assistant for 22 years at Irongate Center in Glens Falls. She also loved owning and operating with her husband Joe, Pezzulo’s Restaurant on Lawrence St. in Glens Falls in the early 1970’s. Rosalie’s most rewarding time was being the mother of her three children, grandmother and great grandmother. Her family was her entire world and meant everything to her. She also enjoyed her time as a volunteer at St. Mary’s Church and School in Glens Falls, The Soup Kitchen in Glens Falls and Meals on Wheels at the Cedars Senior Living Community in Queensbury.

Rosalie is survived by her children, JoAnn Pezzulo and her life companion Dorothy Menard of Queensbury, son Anthony (Jeannie) of Georgia, son Joseph Pezzulo of Miami Beach, FL, grandchildren, Joseph Pezzulo (Kristen) of New Jersey and Sydney-Nicole Pezzulo (Robert) Condon of Georgia, great grandson and bright light in her life, Dante, “Adopted kids” Allison Cotter and Scott Taylor of Miami Beach, FL, brother in law Lee Coleman, many nieces, nephews & cousins.

Rosalie was a beautiful spiritual being who loved helping everyone and spending time with family and friends. She was the most inspirational, encouraging, supportive, kind-hearted and generous person who welcomed everyone into her life and home. Rosalie touched many lives with her loving heart, smile and bright light. She always made you feel special. Her dedication to and the love for her family and of life were visible to anyone who knew her. Rosalie was an incredible cook who loved feeding everyone, especially while being the cook at her restaurant.

Rosalie was an avid reader, game player – dominoes, cards, scrabble, Mah Jong and all games that were enjoyable to play with others. There were always many times of laughter and fun shared in Rosalie’s home. Rosalie was also very devoted to her religion. Her faith was extremely important to her as well as connecting with those from her church, which was very meaningful to her. She especially loved going to Italy and seeing the Pope at the Vatican for a Christmas Mass. Rosalie’s love of life, her caring, compassion, friendship, her desire to help and make others happy will live on in our hearts and memories forever.

Friends may visit from 4-6pm on Monday, March 20, 2023 at Baker Funeral Home, 11 Lafayette St., Queensbury, NY. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11am March 21 at St. Mary’s Church, 62 Warren Street, Glens Falls, NY. Interment will follow at the Gerald B. H. Solomon National Cemetery in Schuylerville, NY.

The family would like to thank mom’s aides, Lisa Clouse and Jess Worth for their caring, support and assistance. We would also like to thank Lisa Davis from Support Link and Jess Perry from Fort Hudson Health System as well as Dr. William Tedesco and all of the doctors and nurses who cared for her over the years.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to St. Mary’s Church, St. Jude’s or a charity of one’s choice.

The Shirt Factory Hosts ‘Winter Meltdown’ After The Storm

Written by Kate Haggerty on March 21, 2023. Posted in Community, Entertainment, Featured.

During a week that featured a late winter snowstorm, The Shirt Factory held the “Winter Meltdown Spicy Food Festival”. This blustery Saturday afternoon was speckled with sunlight, and temperatures were comfortable for those with a heavy sweatshirt or a light jacket. From 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, food trucks and picnic tables were set up outside of the Shirt Factory in the Cooper Street parking lot to showcase a wide range of flavors. This was a hybrid event, with some vendors and shops inside the building and others set up in the Cooper Street parking lot.

People sat outside enjoying the fare… Some huddled close to the heat lamps, while others spread out using the ample number of picnic tables that were available. Families meandered through the crowds, and events goers came and went throughout the afternoon. Some were attracted by the wide array of food, and some were interested in the Shirt Factory. Jeff Rocas and his son Zack traveled from Gloversville to attend: “As a tourist, it was nice to see a good turnout for the event. The variety of food vendors was great. It offered something for everyone,” he said as he finished a spicy empanada in the picnic area. “The Shirt Factory was impressive with all of the different artists and shops. Definitely a place worth exploring,” Rocas said. He had seen the event advertised on Facebook weeks ago, and thought it would be a nice event that both he and his son could enjoy.

Coming up in April, the Shirt Factory is hosting “Spring is Sweet: Maple in April”. This event is on Saturday, April 15th, 2023, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This celebration of the maple trees features specialty dishes, using anything from maple wood to maple syrup and beyond! The event will benefit High Peaks Hospice, whose mission is to provide end of life care that “listens with respect, cares with compassion, supports with choice, and comforts with understanding”. High Peaks Hospice has been serving the Adirondack region for over 35 years. It is located at 454 Glen Street in Glens Falls, and focuses on the individual and his or her choices, wherein decisions are based on the wishes and desires of the individual and their family.

The “Spring is Sweet: Maple in April” event is a hybrid event at the Shirt Factory, which will have vendors set up inside the building, as well as vendors and food trucks in the Cooper Street parking lot. For more information, visit shirtfactorygf.com

WARREN COUNTY SHERIFF

A 22-year-old Queensbury man faces Driving While Intoxicated charges following a roll-over crash in the Town of Queensbury. On Monday March 6th, at around 8:06pm, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office responded to Luzerne Rd in the area of Laurel Ln for a report of a vehicle overturned off the side of the road, with the operator reported to have fled the scene. Responding officers located Logan C. Marshall a short distance from the crash and determined he was intoxicated and he was subsequently arrested. At police headquarters, Marshall submitted to a chemical breath test which yielded a .22 of 1% BAC. He was charged with DWI and Aggravated DWI for operating with a BAC greater than .18 of 1% and released to a 3rd party.

A 42-year-old South Glens Falls man was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated after nearly striking a Warren County Sheriff’s Office patrol car. On Tuesday, March 7th, at around 12:03am, a Warren County Sheriff’s Office patrol car was traveling west on Aviation Rd in the Town of Queensbury when a 2018 Jeep operated by Brian B. Rossley, was operating easterly and crossed into the westbound lane, forcing the officer off the side of the road to avoid a collision. A traffic stop was conducted and Rossley was found to be intoxicated and arrested. At police headquarters, Rossley submitted to a chemical breath test which yielded a .26 of 1% BAC, over triple the legal limit. Rossley was charged with DWI and Aggravated DWI for operating with a BAC greater than .18 of 1%. Rossley was released following processing and is due to appear in Queensbury Town Court later this month to answer the charges.

A 32-year-old Glens Falls man was arrested on Felony Driving While Intoxicated charges following a traffic stop on March 10th. Jeffrey E. Mckenna was stopped on Warren Street in the City of Glens Falls at around 10:07 PM after committing unspecified traffic offenses. Mckenna was found to be intoxicated and subsequently arrested. At Sheriff’s Office headquarters, Mckenna submitted to an evidentiary breath test which yielded a .14 of 1% BAC. Due to a previous DWI conviction within the last 10 years, the charge was upgraded to a Felony. Mckenna was released following processing and is due in Glens Falls City Court later this month to answer the charges.

On March 12th at approximately 12:17am, officers with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding (84mph in a 55mph zone) on State Route 9 in the Town of Warrensburg. After being signaled to stop, the driver accelerated and attempted to evade police. When the vehicle came to a stop, the driver was apprehended. The driver was identified as Ryan C. Barrett, 26, of Warrensburg. An investigation determined Barrett was driving with a suspended/revoked driver’s license and was intoxicated. Barrett was taken into custody and transported to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office where he provided an evidentiary breath test which determined his BAC to be .12%. Barrett was processed for multiple counts of DWI, felony Aggravated Unlicensed Operation in the 1st Degree, misdemeanor Unlawfully Fleeing a Police Officer in the 3rd Degree, and issued multiple traffic tickets. He was released pending prosecution in Warrensburg Town Court at a later date.

A Queensbury man was arrested on March 12th on Driving While Intoxicated charges following a traffic stop on Veterans Rd in the Town of Queensbury. At around 9:47pm, a Warren County Sheriff’s Officer conducted a traffic stop on a 2007 Mitsubishi after it was observed committing unspecified traffic offenses. The operator, Ryan M. Brainard, 38, was found to be intoxicated and operating with a revoked driver’s license. Brainard was arrested and while at Sheriff’s Office headquarters, refused to submit to an evidentiary breath test. He was placed in Sheriff’s Office lock up and was arraigned the following morning on the charges of Driving While Intoxicated, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor-Vehicle, and numerous traffic tickets.

Glens Falls Seeks Public Feedback Regarding Noise Ordinance

Written by Staff Report on March 20, 2023. Posted in Community, Downtown, Featured.

The City of Glens Falls Building and Codes Committee is in the process of reviewing the City’s Noise Ordinance. The Committee is seeking comments and concerns from residents, as well as those who work within the City of Glens Falls.

“Any changes to the noise ordinance will have to be measurable and objective,” says Ward 3 Councilwoman Diana Palmer. “While we will be looking at other communities for examples, we want to make sure we are crafting an ordinance unique to our city and the needs of our residents.”

“Chapter 45 of the City Charter entitled ‘Prohibited Noise’ (https://ecode360.com/14409121#14409121) only addresses a limited number of situations as it stands and relates to ‘noise’. If any situation arises above and beyond the limited language within the code, we can’t really do much if a situation becomes a persistent problem.” Justin Reckner, the City’s Code Enforcement Officer said.

The Building and Codes Committee is inviting everyone who lives and works in the City of Glens Falls to complete this Noise Ordinance survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GFNoiseOrdinance. The feedback provided will be reviewed and discussed in the next Building and Codes meeting on March 27th, beginning at 1:00 PM on the Second Floor of City Hall.

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.

Glens Falls Weekend of Champions

Written by Kate Haggerty on March 20, 2023. Posted in Community, Downtown, Featured, Sports.

This past weekend, the Cool Insuring Arena hosted the 2023 New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Boys Basketball Tournament; a weekend the City of Glens Falls looks forward to all year! On Thursday afternoon, Mayor Bill Collins started off the festivities with a press conference. The mayor, along with Dr. Robert Zayas (Executive Director, NYSPHSAA), Gina Mintzer (Executive Director, Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce), Tricia Rogers (President and CEO Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce) and Chip Corlew (Director of Greater Glens Falls Amateur Athletic Association) spoke of what this event means to the athletes, coaches, families, and the community of Glens Falls.

This event – billed as, “The Road to Glens Falls: Where Legends are Made” – is the epitome of all things Glens Falls. The city of Glens Falls loves showcasing student athletes, tourism and community, and this weekend celebrates all of those things.

Teams, families, coaches, scouts and enthusiasts checked into their hotels and had the opportunity to walk the streets of Glens Falls. They got to experience a vibrant downtown filled with restaurants, retail shops, and art. Family members commemorated the weekend with souvenirs of the wonderful accomplishments that they had witnessed, and athletes anxiously awaited the experience of the last game of their season… Because win or lose, everything that they had worked for culminated during these three days.

During Thursday’s press conference, Dr. Zayas said, “We are excited to be back here in Glens Falls. This is truly the home of New York State Basketball State Championships. We have over 700 teams that participate in the sport of boys basketball within our association. We are so excited to welcome the top 20 teams from New York State to participate right here in Glens Falls to contend for the title of New York State Champion. These teams started three months ago with the quest of earning the right to be here in Glens Falls, to compete for a State Championship. So Glens Falls is truly the place where dreams come true.”

This event also makes dreams come true for local businesses and tourism in the area: it’s estimated that this event will bring more than $5-million in profits along with it! This figure is an estimation of accommodations, food and beverage, retail, recreation, and transportation, as well as other factors. Gina Mintzer said. “We are very excited, as everybody is, to welcome all of the student athletes, the fans, the spectators, the recruiter and the scouts who are going to be here to see the best of the best around New York State during these next three days… But this particular tournament, more than 5-million dollars is the estimated economic and employment impact for 2023… It’s more than just room nights… people are going to spend money on eating and shopping and just getting to know the area in addition to their accommodations… There are some people who will stay until the very end because they want to see the very best of the best.”

This weekend, the Queensbury Hotel was filled with the teams and their families. When sitting in the lobby, teams would noisily pile in, celebrating their victory or lamenting a loss. The Fenimore Pub was the gathering place on Saturday night for a victory celebration for a team that had clinched the tournament that day. One staff member described the experience: “We were busy here all weekend with the basketball tournament, but it was fun on Saturday night… After a team that was staying here won their championship game, the families came down here to the pub to celebrate. It made us feel like we were part of the event.”

Throughout the course of the weekend, from the vantage point of the Fenimore pub, teams could be seen walking the streets together. On Sunday, the team from Westhill – who won the Class B final over Catholic Central – walked along Ridge Street with a championship placard. The heroes of the court walked into the Queensbury Hotel, and shape-shifted back into teenagers who were ready to head back home.

For a brief moment in time, “Hometown USA” was their hometown, too… Our city anxiously awaited the games to begin, we cheered, we lamented the losses, and just how far each team had come. Each of the players experienced the apex of what they worked for over the course of their basketball careers… The future, past, and present all came together as Glens Falls crowned the High School Boys Basketball Champions.

The Car Shoppe Will be Hosting the First Annual Spring Fling Festival!

Written by Kate Haggerty on March 16, 2023. Posted in Business, Community, Entertainment, Featured.

Who’s ready for Spring? The Car Shoppe – located at 1110 US-9 in Queensbury – will be hosting their First Annual Spring Fling Festival on Saturday, May 20th (with a rain date of May 21st), from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The proceeds from this event will go to the Adirondack Vets House Incorporated, which is a longer term facility for homeless Veterans located at 26 Pine Street, Glens Falls. Statistics show that Veterans make up as much as 40% of the homeless population in the United States… The Adirondack Vets House can accommodate up to nine residents, whose stay can range from one month to years. This is a working program ,which means that most of the Veterans find gainful employment to aid in their goal of finding permanent housing.

100% of the money raised will go to the Adirondack Vets House! To create this day of fun that benefits such a worthy cause, general admission will be free to the public! Attractions will include pony rides, farm animals, a bounce-house, vendors, live music, raffles, and carnival games! The goal of this event is to maximize attendance, support local businesses, and raise critical funds for the Adirondack Vets Home Inc.

For more information about the event, contact Kiera Zmitrovitch by phone at (518) 742-0301, or by email at Kiera@518EXfinance.com. There is also a Facebook event page at https://fb.me/e/40iW9Is5K. For more information regarding the Adirondack Vets House, visit adirondackvetshouse.com.
