Last week, following a practice we started at the turn of the century, we identified the top sports stories of the year. Here are the picks we made in previous years.
Willow Avenue Elementary School has only known one principal – Greg Schmalz. He’ll be retiring at the end of this year after a 31-year career as an educator and administrator.
The year began with record-breaking English Language Arts and Math state assessment scores that resulted in our Grades 3-8 being ranked in the top 7% of New York State.

“The blood was pumping,” Chief Steve Dixon admitted. It was Thursday night, and he and his Cornwall-on-Hudson Police Officers were inside the elementary school for rapid response training.
