Warren County seeks new owner for bridge; Middleton Bridge available for the taking
Warren County is looking to give away a bridge as a project to replace it goes forward.
The historic Middleton Bridge over the Schroon River has been closed since 2009 because of major deficiencies. Warren County is moving forward to replace the bridge in a location upstream, and as part of the project will be seeking the removal of the closed structure.
The prospective new owner’s plan must include a timeline presenting the completion of efforts to disassemble, relocate, and reassemble the bridge within 12 months of ownership. The bridge transfer deed will include a preservation covenant that requires the new owner to maintain the bridge in accordance with the “Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings.”...”This has been a very complicated and time-consuming process but it is moving forward," explained Bolton Supervisor Ronald Conover, chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors Public Works Committee.

- Each patient may have two designated visitors per visiting period.
- Visitors must be age 12 and older.
- Visitors will enter only through the West Entrance where they will be greeted and screened by security by answering a series of COVID exposure questions and if they recently had a fever.
- Visitors must wear a mask at all times and should bring their own personal mask.

- On the day of discharge from an inpatient stay, one visitor may accompany the patient for the discharge process outside of visiting hours.
- Visitation is also expanded to allow one unique visitor in the Emergency Department, outpatient testing areas, and physician offices (or two for pediatric patients) for the duration of a patient's stay outside of visiting hours.
- Visitors for patients who are receiving same-day surgical and procedural treatments may accompany them during admission and rejoin them for the discharge process.

QUEENSBURY, N.Y.—Indulge your daughter’s love of basketball and prevent the dreaded “I’m bored” complaints this summer with SUNY Adirondack’s Girls Basketball Clinic.
The weeklong camp — July 19 to 22 for girls entering grades 5 through 12 — is hosted by the college’s head women’s basketball coach, Cornelius Tavarres, and members of the women’s team.
“This is a great opportunity for girls interested in the sport to learn from college-level athletes and improve their game,” said Julie Clark, assistant director of Athletics at SUNY Adirondack.
The young women are led by Tavarres, who signed on at SUNY Adirondack in 2020, after a decade of coaching. Tavarres is founder of Adirondack Shock AAU basketball.
“You won’t find a more dedicated person, invested in developing every aspect of a player’s skills, on and off the court,” said Zach Schwan, director of SUNY Adirondack Athletics.
The clinic runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Players will be grouped based on age (with some adjustments for experience). Each should bring lunch and snacks. The clinic, which includes a T-shirt, costs $225, with a $25 discount for each sibling in an immediate family. For more information, click here. To sign-up, click here.
