An elderly grandmother died of pneumonia after yobs hurled a breeze block through her window leaving her exposed to freezing temperatures on the coldest night of the year.

June Green, 83, who had been the victim of three previous burglaries, stayed in her bedroom when she heard the noise and spent the next 12 hours huddled under blankets not daring to investigate.

Raiders waited until she was asleep before entering the bungalow where she lived alone to steal a handbag containing a purse with around 60 cash from the bedroom.

SARANAC LAKE - Interior construction and renovation work on the Hotel Saranac, starting with replacement of all 169 of its guest room windows, is expected to begin by the end of this month.

That's what Fred Roedel III of New Hampshire-based Roedel Companies said Wednesday night. Roedel was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Saranac Lake Women's College Scholarship Club. Roughly 50 people braved the double-digit-subzero temperatures outside to attend the meeting, held in the Saranac Lake Free Library's Cantwell Community Room.

Last month, Roedel told the Enterprise the project was behind schedule, but he said he still hoped to reopen the iconic Main Street hotel this spring.

Asked by an audience member Wednesday night what the expected opening date for the hotel would be, Roedel said it will be closer to mid summer.

"We're honing in on that," he said. "Construction is going to begin in earnest by the end of this month. We're writing contracts now for our plumbing, electric, heating and air conditioning. As we hone in on that more and more, we're probably looking at July and August, somewhere in there."

That may seem like a quick turnaround, but Roedel said his company can put up a brand-new hotel in nine months.

"The great thing here is the structure is here," he said. "We're not moving any walls. When we begin work, they'll literally begin laying the electric, the plumbing and the mechanical right where it's going to go. So we think in a period of three to four months we'll be putting up paint, putting down carpet and getting ready for this thing."

The double-hung vinyl windows on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors will be replaced starting in two weeks, Roedel said. Special small tents will be extended outside the windows so workers can replace them from inside the hotel.

"They're all new windows," he said. "I'm looking forward to that day. I drove up here today from New Hampshire and fixed four windows where the window just fell out of the frame and the cold air was blowing through it."

The 2014/15 season has been a miserable one for Brendan Rodgers. HisLiverpool side has floundered in the Premier League, perhaps due to the added pressure of European competition.

The Reds currently sit eighth in the Premier League table, seven points behind fourth-placed Southampton, and a shake-up in personnel this January would be advised to improve the side's failing form.

How would Liverpool's ideal January transfer window play out?

Here we discuss the perfect outcome of what could well be a hectic month of business for Rodgers' side.

Rodgers' Transfer Strategy

In recent Rodgers press conferences, two intriguing soundbites have surfaced on Liverpool's upcoming transfer strategy.

The first, that January would be a quiet transfer window for the club, is relayed by the Liverpool Echo's James Pearce:

Whether this news is to be taken with a pinch of salt, however, could be determined by Rodgers' further comments on the value of the January window:

This is a bemusing concession. Liverpool's 2012/13 season was given a formidable boost when Rodgers signed midfielder Philippe Coutinho and striker Daniel Sturridge in January 2013, both of whom are now considered key players at Anfield.

Liverpool: Outlining an Ideal January Transfer Window for Brendan Rodgers' Reds

Greg Ritter, a 91-year-old retired Baltimore Gas and Electric employee, crafted a stained glass window at St. Paul's Independent Church in Millers, Maryland, to honor his late wife and son. (Submitted)

Walking through the front door of St. Paul's Independent Church in Millers, Maryland, you might catch a rainbow of vibrant light shining through a stained glass window.

The window isn't large, just 4 feet long and 1 foot tall, and the design of bright squares surrounding three crosses is fairly simple.

The story behind the window, though, speaks to one man's efforts to honor the memory of his son and wife.

Greg Ritter, a 91-year-old retired Baltimore Gas and Electric employee, moved to Hanover's Homewood retirement community with his wife, Josie, in 2005. Jeff, one of their four children, lived nearby with his wife and daughters.

When Josie died in August 2013, followed by Jeff in October, Ritter grew determined to honor their legacies. He got that chance in May, when his son, Mike, mentioned that the church in which he serves as an elder planned to replace the window above its front door.

Using skills he learned at classes at Homewood, Ritter carefully crafted a design for a replacement window over the course of three months a large cross flanked by two smaller ones.

Religion has always played a large role in the family's life, even though Ritter said he no longer attends church regularly.

"I'm a graduate. I'm too old to get in trouble," he said with a laugh.
