For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
The Sugar Free Gang Kids Kamp marked its 10th year with a special visit on Thursday from Kris Freeman a two-time Olympic cross-country skier and the reigning U.S. national champion. He will participate the 2010 Olympic Games. He signs an autograph for camper Drew Bogdan,7, of Gulderland at the camp being held at theClifton Park Elks Club.
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 19, Freeman learned how to manage his disease and continued to pursue his dream – competing in the 2002 and 2006 Olympics and winning 7 national cross country titles.
