THANK YOU!! A grateful “THANK YOU” for the prayers, cards, phone calls, visits, fruit baskets and food we received during Jay’s 10-day stay at Albany Med back in May and his recovery at home. Thanks to the prompt and expert care of our Edinburg Ambulance Squad and Fulton County crew as well. It’s a Mother’s Day we’ll never forget. We can’t thank our kids enough for getting me back and forth to Albany and for fielding our phone calls from the hospital keeping family and friends abreast of Jay’s progress. Thanks to those who stopped by or phoned us on a routine basis to be sure we were O.K. and/or needed anything. Special thanks to family and neighbors that tended to our OE Sheepdog while no one was home. She never had it so good!! Last but surely not least a big thanks to the guys who came each day to transport Jay to breakfast at the diner or coffee at Stewart’s. We can’t imagine living anywhere but in a small town surrounded by caring family and friends.

God Bless!Jay and Priscilla Edwards

Ask The Real Estate Professional

How can an FHA Loan Help Me? FHA loans have been helping people become homeowners since 1934. How do they do it? The Federal Housing Administration (FHA)- which is part of HUD- insures the loan, so your lender can offer you a better deal. Low down payments Low closing costs Easy credit qualifying What does FHA have for you? If you’re buying your first home FHA might be just what you need. Your down payment can be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, and most of your closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. Available on 1-4 unit properties. Do you want a fixer-upper?FHA has a loan that allows you to buy a home, fix it up and include all the costs in one loan. Or, if you own a home that you want to re-model or repair, you can refinance what you owe and add the cost of repairs- all in one loan. Financial help for seniorsAre you 62 or older? Do you live in your home? Do you own it outright or have a low loan balance? If you answer “yes” to all of these questions, then the FHA Reverse Mortgage might be right for you. It lets you convert a portion of your equity into cash. Want to make your home more energy efficient?

You can include the costs of energy improvements into an FHA Energy-Efficient Mortgage. How about manufactured housing and mobile homes? Yes, FHA has financing for mobile homes and factory-built housing. We have two loan products – one for those who own the land that the home is on and another for mobile homes that are – or will be - located in mobile home parks. How do I find an FHA lender to tell me more about FHA loan products?You can go to USA.gov or call 800-569-4287 and speak to a HUD-approved counselor for information and advice.

Rotary’s Woodworking and Fine Art Weekend Featured

Artists The Third Annual Woodworking and Fine Art Weekend sponsored by the Northville Rotary Club July15-17 will include over thirty participants representing a variety of art forms. Portrait and landscape painters, woodworkers, photographers, floral arrangers, jewelers, furniture crafters, potters, batik artist, quilter, tile and glass painters, and many others will be part of the festivities. Our featured artists this year are painter JC Parker of Malta and potter Andrew Minnery of Saratoga. JC Parker paints with oils and watercolors. His patrons say that his art provides “a glimpse of the spirit and captures moments in time”. Nationally known, you will find his paintings in a number of galleries, private collections and on the web. Recently, he designed a stamp cancellation for the US Postal Service honoring Elmer Ellsworth, a local soldier who was the first casualty of the Civil War. JC is a cancer survivor.

That is why he believes giving back is so important and why he and his wife Carol make significant contributions to charities. At last year’s show he was instrumental in creating a community painting that is being sold as a raffle on note cards with the sailboat painting on it. The winner gets the original and Rotary gets the proceeds from the tickets sold. Andrew Minnery studied ceramics under Marc Leuthold at SUNY Potsdam. Upon graduating, he held a residency at the Thousand Islands Arts Center in Clayton, NY from 2008-10 where he ran a pottery studio and taught both children and adults in the ceramic medium. Currently Andrew holds a residency at The Tile Company in Potsdam, NY. Andrew’s love of pottery began with the appreciation of those times we gather to eat and drink. In creating wares for these moments he demonstrates how connected we are to the earth and nature. Andrew will be demonstrating how to use the potter’s wheel at the show. Admission to the show is free beginning with a wine and cheese “Meet the Artists Pre-Sale Event” on Friday July 15th from 6:00 to 9:00PM at the Paul Bradt Municipal Building on Main

Street in Northville. The show, complete with demonstrations, silent auction, and raffles, will take place Saturday, July 16th from 9:00-5:00 and Sunday, July 17th from 10:00-3:00. In addition to the community painting, we are raffling off a Cannondale bicycle donated by the Bike Works in Johnstown, a kayak donated by Food and Fuel in Mayfield, and a handcrafted wine and spirits cabinet made by Mike Kratky All proceeds go to support Northville Rotary community activities and international projects. Food provided by the Sport Island Pub will be available for purchase. Come join us!

S&H RECORDS & BOOKS United Presbyterian Church Welcomes Our

Summer Intern My name is Jonathan Britt, and I’ll be joining you all this summer in your walk with each other and Christ. As my school year draws to a close, I wanted to write to you all to tell you a little bit about myself, where I come from and who I am, in hopes that I will get to know everyone of you as well! To start off, I am from the south. I know, with that comes all sorts of presuppositions, and yes, some of them are true. I have

an obsession with sweet tea, speak slower than most people, and I enjoy spending evenings sitting on a porch swing. However, there are some parts of being a southerner that I think will fit in well with what I hear of you all as well! I love spending time outdoors and the religious life that permeates all aspects of southern culture, I hope will permeate into my time with you all as well! Growing up, my pastor always called me a “church-rat” because I spent so much time at church doing anything and everything there. I went to church every Sunday and did all the normal things that a good teenager did. My faith was what everyone else told me it should be, and I never truly questioned what I believed for myself. Then, I went to college. I knew already that I wanted to spend my life working in the church, so I became a religion major at Furman University. Going to a secular school and taking the academic approach to Christianity allowed me to open up my faith. Yes, my faith started to struggle, but I found strength and reassurance within the loving and nurturing community that I had worshiped with for most of my life. Additionally, I began to understand that following the example of Jesus Christ, has led me to a more fulfilling and fruitful life. It has been an incredible journey so far, and I cannot wait to share it with you all! Finally a few interests of mine include music, which I play the trombone, photography and I am a diehard Chicago Cubs fan. It is my hope that, this summer, we can learn and grow together, and that I can learn just as much from you all, as you all learn from me! Sincerely, Jonathan Britt.

Schutze Steps Down as President of Sacandaga Task Force for Senior

Living At its May 17 organizational meeting Peg Schutze declined to stand for reelection as president of STFSL, saying “It is time.” She also relinquished her seat on the Board of Directors while staying on a member of the Organization. Schutze served as president of the Task Force since it inception in 2006 and was instrumental in the formative years of the Task Force. She presided over the painstaking processes of developing a Board, a mission statement, and By-laws; the award of Federal non-profit 501©3 status; the many steps taken toward the building of senior housing, and the development of services for seniors including the opening of the Red Rooster, the Northville senior congregate meal site. The STFSL Board elected Jim Conkling as incoming president and Mary Ann Evans as vice president. Conkling has vowed to continue moving the Task Force forward in its dual goals to construct a moderate income senior housing facility in the Northville area and to develop and provide services that will help seniors who reside around the Great Sacandaga Lake to remain in their homes if that is what they choose to do. For more information contact Jim Conkling at 863-6382 or Mary Ann Evans at 863-7052.

Dick Schermerhorn ~ [email protected]

112 First Street, Northville

We reported last month that the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District noted at their May 10, 2011 meeting that they would consider requesting the opening of the Settlement Agreement that governs the water releases on the

lake. They suggested that this action was being taken because the agreement did not allow sufficient flexibility for the District engineer. Last month we reported that we disagreed with the District on their position. The GSLA believes that the Settlement Agreement provides sufficient flexibility to allow the District Engineer to manage water levels when faced with a potential flood event. We followed up with a meeting between the GSLA President and Vice-President (who is also the Chair of our Water Level Committee) and the Regulating District Acting Executive Director to expand on our thoughts. The meeting was pleasant, informative and worthwhile. Executive Director Clark had already scheduled a meeting with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to discuss his Board’s request and promised to share our belief that there was enough flexibility in the agreement to allow the District to take effective action. Mr. Clark reported after the meeting that DEC concurred with our position. Because we wanted to reach a similar consensus with the power companies, our Water Level Chair, David Smail, contacted a representative of the hydros and also received a similar assurance. Dave’s committee also researched operational memoranda to present a further case for our position which was presented at the June meeting of the Regulating District. Please thank Dave Smail and his GSLA Water Level Committee members, Fred Wilhelm and Bob Bielecki for sharing their engineering skills and working tirelessly over the last few years to advise the GSLA.

Last week the GSLA requested a meeting between the electricity providers and the Regulating District to share thoughts and reach an agreement on the operation of the Great Sacandaga. We will certainly share these results as they develop. The GSLA hopes that the discussions will result in a procedure which will eliminate the extremely high waters in the spring which cause erosion in parts of the lake while at the same time meeting the Settlement Agreement’s target of maintaining water for recreational boaters through October. In May, we announced the GSLA’s FREE NYS Boater Safety classes. The first session was held at the Sacandaga Boat Club and was attended by 25. The second (June 25) and third (July 9) sessions are closed because they have met their registration approvals. There are a few seats at the August 6 (Northville) session. Reservations should be made by phone message to the GSLA at 863-6848. Reservations are required as space in each session is limited. Further information can be obtained by email to [email protected] The GSLA has been working to make this season a safe one on the lake. Join us by visiting our web www.gsla.org

SVAN to present the Woods Tea Company at the Hope Pavilion

The Sacandaga Valey Arts Network (SVAN) series of free concerts at the Town of Hope Pavilion will feature Woods Tea Company on Saturday, July 9th, 6-8 pm. This group is comprised of Howard Wooden (vocals, bass, guitar, bodhran), Tom MacKenzie (vocals, hammered dulcimer, banjo, guitar, ukulele, keyboard) and Patti Casey (vocals, guitar, flute, penny-whistle, and clogboard) Woods Tea Company is an acoustic group that performs Celtic tunes, sea shanties, American folk and novelty songs with ease and skill. All members are fine vocalists and audiences often leave in awe of their wonderful harmonies. During a performance they use as many as a dozen different instruments. After building a solid reputation in New England, Woods Tea Company started touring on the concert circuit nationwide, eventually playing in all the lower 48 states. Notable performances include New York’s Lincoln Center (twice), the Chautauqua Institute (three times), appearances on PBS and National Public Radio, who labeled them “Vermont’s hardest working folk group.”Folk Music Quarterly described them as “one of the hottest up and coming acts,” saying “sidestepping pretension and going for the grit, this New England group gives a lusty performance, every time.” A few years ago, the Irish Heritage Foundation honored the group with their “Outstanding Innovation Award, in appreciation and recognition for their creative contributions to Irish music.” Please join us for an evening of fun and entertainment on July 9th. This event is made possible in part with public funds from the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts part of the Decentralization program, a re-grant program of the New York Council on the Arts, In Hamilton County; these funds are administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts Located in Blue Mountain Lake.

The faster we find you the faster we can help you. Our motto is “Help us Help you!” If you have a relatively long driveway or think we may have trouble finding you try to send a bystander to the road to direct us. - While boating and enjoying the lake this summer please stay safe especially near the existing/new bridge.- And of course please be responsible and do not drink and drive this summer, or any time of year. Look for us in July doing our Annual Coin Drop! We appreciate your support, all the money that is collected goes towards new equipment and training for our members. Our next monthly meeting will be held Wednesday July 6th at 7pm. We are always looking for more Volunteers; if you are interested please stop in on our meeting night.

Build to Suit Any of my readers that have watched the History Channel, picked up a magazine or read a newspaper in recent months probably know by now that 2011 marks the 150th year since the beginning of the Civil War--also known as the Great Rebellion of 1861. All wars are dreadful and this one especially so since it pitted state against state, town against town and brother against brother. Battles were fought in fields, cow pastures and back yards. From February 4-March 11, 1861 seven southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy. On April 12 the South fired on Fort Sumter at Charlestown, NC and the war was off and running for the next 4 years. On April 15 President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 three-month volunteers to build up the current 16,000-man Union Army and put down the “insurrections”. By July he obtained authorization from Congress to raise an army of 500,000 for 3 years or the end of the war, whichever came first.

As in years past bounties of cash, land or both were incentives used to acquire enlistees. During the Civil War the bounty system became abused and confused. Federal, state and local governments kept increasing funds to encourage enlistees. By 1865 a man could collect as much as $1500 by just signing up. Many abused this system by deserting and re-enlisting--thus collecting again and again. When volunteer enlistments started to slow down Congress passed our country’s first Military Conscription Act on March 3, 1863. This act required that all men between the ages of 20 and 45 were to register for the draft. The population of Edinburgh in 1860 was 1479. 120 men of that population saw service in the Civil War and much to their credit 93 of that 120 volunteered in 1861/62, long before the draft act took effect. The draft law also allowed any prospective draftee--for the sum of $300--to buy a temporary exemption from military service or he could be permanently exempt if he hired a substitute to fight in his place. Many states however continued to raise the bounty payments to meet enlistment quotas rather than draft men. Bounties in the North during the length of the war amounted to $750 million plus 9.6 million acres in Federal lands. It wasn’t until 1864 when only three men in Edinburgh--Charles H. Barker, Leman Partridge and Henry Wadsworth--hired substitutes to fight for them. Asa Deming, Leman Frost, Paul R. Williams and Theodore Worden each collected $300 as substitutes. $300 was a lot of money in 1864 and if you were going to be drafted anyway--why not get paid for it? Other men who could also have afforded to buy their exemption , instead, promptly joined the fight in 1861. George S. Batcheller became a lieutenant colonel in the 115th NY Infantry, a unit

he helped organize. His cousin Oliver H. Batcheller, a lieutenant, graduated from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD. He served with Admiral Farragut and was promoted to lieutenant commander. The Civil War was a very deadly war with the loss of 620,000 lives on the North and South combined. Three times more than that were wounded and maimed. Costs of the war were unbelievable and it would take generations for the South to recover from the damages. Of the brave Edinburgh men who went off to war 24 never made it home. Some died in battle while others died of disease. Willard Jones died of starvation at Andersonville prison, the largest and most inhumane Confederate prison holding Union prisoners during the war. Of those veterans that made it back to Edinburgh several were disabled for the rest of their days. On the mountain east of the Sacandaga River very near the Day/Edinburgh town lines lived several families by the name of Deming. Henry and James

Deming were probably brothers and the other Deming families were their offspring. It’s very difficult to track these families in the early census records as one year they were in Day--another year in Edinburgh. They didn’t move--it was just how the census taker decided to cover the area between towns. If anyone were poorer than church mice--the Demings’ were. All of them lived in rough log cabins (one was valued at $3 in 1855) well into the 1860’s, while all their neighbors had replaced their log cabins with framed homes thirty years before. Poor or not the Demings’ were not afraid to fight although the bounty and/or conscription monies must have looked very inviting. John and Mary Deming had at least 4-possibly 5- sons in the Civil War. Asa, Ezekiel, Horace and Simeon came safely home. Henry and Martha’s son Mansfield, age 17, died in the war. Another older Asa, son of Solomon and Eunice also served and returned home. Two others that I can’t identify as to parentage were John H., home safe;____,died of disease. In the Town of Day Andrew, son of James and Clarissa and Edgar, son of John and Sarah also served and returned home. These 10 brave young men represented the Deming family of the Sacandaga Valley in the Civil War. Alanson and Barbara Graves were the parents of 11 children. 3 older sons joined the war effort but only one came home alive. William, age 24 and John, age 21 died within a day of each other at the 2nd Battle of Bull Run. They were privates in Co. G, 30th NY Infantry. 18 year-old Julian, a private in Co. D of the 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment came back home to Edinburgh. Here we have only two stories of Edinburgh boys who fought for their country during the Civil War. More on the war and Edinburgh’s involvement at another time.

Or call a local YMCA, parks-and-recreation department or volunteer hotline to see where assistance is desired. Other possibilities include volunteering for programs that allow people with special needs or the elderly to enjoy outdoor activities. You’ll enjoy summertime fun (vacation) and the knowledge that God is working through you (vocation). NEW BABY IN TOWN!

Volunteers Recognized at STFSL Annual Meeting

The Sacandaga Task Force for Senior Living held it’s annual meeting on May 17. President Peg Schutze summarized the accomplishments of the Task Force over the past year. She also thanked Task Force volunteers for their outstanding service to the STFSL Board and to our communities. Peg acknowledged and thanked the following volunteers for their services as members of the Services Advisory Committee, a working group that ensures that the Red Rooster functions smoothly and that the weekly programs are informative and/or entertaining. Red Rooster volunteers include Bev Ashbey, Marjorie Decker, Marilyn Greenhill, Janis Serfis, Beverly Vertucci, Jean Watkins, and Judith Wilcox. The Red Rooster, a senior congregate meal site held every Thursday, is a joint effort of the Northville Baptist Church that provides the facility, the Fulton County Office for the Aging that provides the meals, and the Sacandaga Task Force for Senior Living that provides the programming. Peg also thanked individuals who are

working with Task Force members to develop a volunteer transportation system that will provide transportation for medical appointments and occasional shopping for area seniors. Transportation Committee volunteers include Kitty Ingalls, secretary, John Spaeth, chair, and Judy Wilcox. Although it is still in the planning stages, the Transportation Committee hopes to provide senior transportation by the end of 2011. Peg also expressed gratitude to Hank Lang for legal services, Judith McKinnon for professional assistance relating to senior services, and John Scunziano for assistance with publicity. Georgia Jacquard, election inspector, reported that Jim Beirlein had been elected as Treasurer and Judy Wilcox as Secretary. Marion Balch, Rick Brissee, and Jim Conkling were re-elected to three years terms as Members of the Board and Janis Serfis was elected to a two year term.

CATARACT AWARENESS June is national cataract awareness month. WebMD Medical Reference states that more than half of all Americans age 65 and older have cataracts. Cataracts occur as a result of build up of protein in the lens of the eye. This build up prevents light from passing clearly through the lens, causing some vision loss. New lens cells form on the outside of the lens and the older cells are compacted into the center of the lens, resulting in the cataract. Many people believe that cataracts only develop as we age. However, there are several types of cataracts that individuals can have. These types of cataracts include: Age-Related Cataracts: This form develops as a result of aging. Congenital Cataracts: Babies can be born with cataracts. This is the result of an infection, injury or poor development before they are born. These cataracts can also develop during childhood.Secondary Cataracts: These develop as a result of other medical conditions. Diabetes or exposure to toxic substances, ultraviolet light, radiation and certain drugs can lead to the development of these cataracts. Traumatic Cataracts: These develop as a result of injury to the eye. Cataracts usually develop slowly and cause few symptoms until a noticeable amount of light is blocked. When symptoms are present, they include:Cloudy, blurry, foggy or filmy vision.Progressive nearsightedness in older individuals.

This is referred to as “second sight” because they may no longer need glasses.Changes in the way individuals see color. Problems driving at night, such as glare from oncoming headlights.Problems with glare during the day.Double vision.Sudden changes in glasses prescription. There are two basic treatments for individuals with cataracts. Some individuals may be able to correct their vision to an acceptable level with a change in prescription, eyeglasses, or contacts. This correction will eliminate the need for surgery at that time. If vision can not be improved and cataracts interfere with daily life, that individual may be a candidate for cataract surgery. This surgery involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with a clear and artificial one. Unfortunately, there is no proven method of preventing cataracts. Because cataracts are common in older adults, it is important for individuals to have eye examinations on a regular basis. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that individuals ages 40 to 60 should have comprehensive eye exams every two to four years, and individuals 65 and older should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years. Individuals with a history of eye problems or medical conditions that increase the risk of eye disease, such as diabetes, should have an eye exam more frequently.

Paddle Making Workshops Offered at the Adirondack

Museum Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y. Craftsman Caleb Davis will return to the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake, New York this summer to teach a series of one-day paddle making workshops. Students will use hand-tools to craft their own wooden canoe paddle. The first workshop is offered on June 29, 2011. Additional workshops on June 30, July 5, 7, 12, 19, 21, 26 and August 2, 18, 25. Students may choose a single or double blade cherry wood paddle. The workshops start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. Space is limited to 5 participants per workshop, and pre-registration is required. The non-refundable fee is due at registration: $115 for single blade paddle, $120 for double blade paddle. Register online at www.adirondackmuseumstore.com/workshops.html <http://www.adirondackmuseumstore.com/workshops.html>. Please note this is a physically demanding activity. Caleb Davis, proprietor of Tremolo, creates beautiful handcrafted canoe paddles. He is a former shop teacher and a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Tremolo is both a vocation and a passion for Caleb, whose enthusiasm towards the art of both canoeing and paddle making is contagious; all it takes is five minutes with Caleb to make you want to pick up a blank and craft that perfect paddle, then to jump into your solo or tandem canoe and master traditional flatwater paddling techniques. Davis is a skilled instructor and continues to

enhance his skills with course work and certifications. His past and current certifications include: Canadian Recreational Canoeing Association Instructor, Canadian Recreational Canoeing Association Instructor, Eastern Professional Ski Touring (XC) Instructor, United States Rowing Association Coach, League of New Hampshire Craftsman - Canoe Paddles, American Canoeing Association Flat Water

Summer 2011 Community Update

The Sacandaga Protection Committee (SPC) is an all volunteer, not-for-profit corporation

formed in May 2009. The SPC fights for permit holders’ exclusive use, opposes the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) belief that the band of land surrounding the lake is “forest preserve”, and represents the legal interests of the Great Sacandaga Lake community. In this update, we’ve briefly identified some of our past successes, our position on various issues, our goals, objectives and our fundraising needs. To learn more about any of these issues or to ask questions, please visit our website at www.lovethesacandaga.com.

Exclusive Use: The issue of exclusive use of the permit lands remains our top priority. After multiple meetings with the HRBRRD executive director and its attorney, DEC staff, and Governor Patterson’s staff, Daniel Spitzer (our attorney from Hodgson Russ) attended the May 2010 HRBRRD board meeting in Johnstown, New York. After Mr. Spitzer’s presentation, the HRBRRD board took the highly unusual step to immediately vote to return “exclusive use” to permit signs and permit applications. The HRBRRD has agreed to replace permit holder signs that do not include the “exclusive use” language (this generally applies to signs installed

between 2007 and early 2010. Despite our efforts and progress in restoring exclusive use at the HRBRRD level, the DEC continues to assert that the permitted lands should be classified as forest preserve and open to the public. Moving forward, we are evaluating several alternatives that would provide a long-term permanent solution to the issue of the exclusive use of permit lands. However, we must remain diligent in our defense of the existing system while we explore alternatives.

Forest Preserve Issue: The “forest preserve” land designation issue goes hand-in-hand with the exclusive use issue. The DEC’s position has not changed; they believe the buffer strip of land around the lake is forest preserve. The DEC says private enterprise is not allowed on state land, especially forest preserve. If we are not successful in defeating this designation, marinas and businesses on the lake may be forced out of business.

Nimo (Niagara Mohawk)/National Grid Lawsuits: The SPC authorized Hodgson Russ attorneys to request legal intervention in Nimo (Niagara Mohawk)/National Grid’s federal lawsuit against the HRBRRD. As an intervener, the SPC filed legal arguments opposing the lawsuit and elimination of the permit system. Chief District Court Judge Norman A. Mordue of the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York granted the SPC and HRBRRD request for summary judgment and dismissed Nimo’s lawsuit. Nimo/National Grid has now appealed this decision, asking for $5 million for repayment of 10 years of property tax payments made to HRBRRD,

plus attorney and court costs. In addition to this appeal, Nimo/National Grid also filed lawsuits in state courts repeating the same arguments they made in the federal filings. Due to the significance of this lawsuit and specifically the threat to the permit system, the SPC authorized our attorneys to again petition the court for intervener status so that we can be sure the rights of the permit holders are protected.

The Local Property Tax Issue: A 2008 Federal Court of Appeals ruling (separate from the National Grid lawsuit discussed above) in favor of the power producers that benefit from the Conklingville Dam, has left the regulating district with a significant revenue shortfall, preventing it from paying its 2009 and 2010 property taxes. The SPC has asked our Congressmen to search for a federal solution to the revenue problem. The SPC believes the power producers, as part of the FERC Licensing Agreement, agreed to reimburse the District for property taxes and that this should be included in any beneficiaries study. We are actively working with our legal team, the HRBRRD and our federal elected officials to identify potential solutions for this significant issue.

2011 Oakridge National Laboratory Beneficiaries Study: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the HRBRRD board have contracted with Oakridge National Laboratory to identify beneficiaries of the Conklingville Dam. This is a comprehensive study of the downstream beneficiaries, and we believe it will include beneficiaries beyond those identified by the HRBRRD staff in their 2010 flood protection benefit study. We will monitor this study to ensure that it fairly represents our communities and permit holders.

Our Future Role in the Lake Community: As you can see, the SPC has achieved several goals that are very important to the property owners. Without these accomplishments, the values of the properties around the lake would have dropped significantly. The permit system, allowing for the exclusive use of the permitted area, is absolutely necessary for the continued enjoyment of these properties. The rules changes and DEC impacts have been defeated for now; exclusive use has been restored to the permit system and we are currently on the winning side of the lawsuits that threaten us. As the only organization that provides legal representation to the lake community, our goal is to continue to advocate on behalf of the lake community and monitor, from a legal standpoint, all the potential threats to the way of life so enjoyed by those who live around the lake.

2011 Fund Raising Goal: Our legal expenses since our inception in 2009 through the end of 2010 were $141,006, representing 88% of our funds spent. The remaining 12% represent fund raising (7.3%) and general administrative expenses (insurance, accounting and office supplies, 4.7%). Now that we have accomplished returning the permit system to the way it has been for the past 80 years, with the exception of our ongoing legal expense to represent our views in the ongoing lawsuits, our costs should be reduced as we spend more of our efforts in monitoring any future or renewed threats. However, we must raise money this year to replenish our treasury. We encourage you to contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns via our website. Sincerely, Joe Sullivan, Co-chair, SPC Travis Mitchell, Co-chair, SPC

by Marge Ludwig The Edinburg Historical Society will be holding their meeting on June 19th, 7pm at the Edinburg Community Center. This meeting will feature Roy Pearsall who will share his reminiscences of growing up in the Edinburg and Northville area. Our June program welcomed Edinburg 4th grade students, their teacher and parents. The students shared with us what they learned about local history on a tour of our museums with Town Historian Priscilla Edwards. Our Society’s Nellie Tyrrell Award was presented at this meeting to the

4th grade students most interested in local history. Winners of the award were Brianna Bace and Elijah Blackwood. On July 16th we will be celebrating our 20th annual Historic Edinburgh Day. This event is held at the site of Edinburg’s museums. Check out information on this event in an article in this publication. Please mark your calendars and be sure to join us at this community event which is made possible by the hard work of many volunteers and enjoyed by all who attend. The museums will be open for public viewing during the months of July and August, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 12 Noon to 3pm or by appointment. Visitors can view many artifacts of historic interest pertaining to Edinburg and the surrounding

area. Both the Edinburg Rural Museum and the Nellie Tyrrell Museum are located on No.Shore Rd. (Cty. Hwy 4). Information our museums, historic sites and events are posted on our website - www.edinburg-hist-soc.org The Copeland Covered Bridge is also open for public viewing. This historic site also includes the Copeland Carriage Shop which sits adjacent to the bridge. The bridge and carriage shop are now part of the Copeland Historic Site. At present, much restoration

work is needed at the carriage shop which our Society hopes to fund through the generosity and support of our community and visitors to this historic site. You can help by your purchase of share certificates which are available for $25 per share. Purchase one for yourself, a family member, as a gift or in memory of a loved one.

THE TAOIST TAI CHI GROUP OF NORTHVILLE

Terry Frank opened her house to our Tai Chi group in June so that we could all get together and say a huge THANK YOU to Margreet Monster who has been the leader and very patient instructor of our group for many years. We meet at the BCON building every Monday and Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. Margreet leads us in yoga and Tai chi exercises for a half an hour and them we perform two sets of the 108 moves of Tai Chi. Margreet gives private instruction to beginners and those of us who want and need to perfect our moves at 8:30 a.m. Come see what we are all about. Since ancient times, Taoists have been renowned for the cultivation of health and harmony in both body and spirit. To make the benefits of this tradition available to people everywhere, Master Moy Lin-shin, a Taoist monk, founded the International Taoist Tai Chi Society in 1970. Since then, members in 27 countries have found the Taoist Tai Chi™ Internal Arts of Health to be profoundly effective for people of all ages and abilities. Margreet, we are so lucky you are willing to share your time and your knowledge and, from all of us, a very big thank you.

Have a happy, healthy summer!

Northville United Presbyterian Church Introduces

The Wedding Closet. In our area, there are many couples planning new lives together who do not have the resources to stage a full-on wedding. On the other hand, many couples who have enjoyed their own weddings do not know what to do with the decorations, ribbons, silk flowers, wedding dresses, ring-bearer pillows, and the like that were only used for one day. The Northville United Presbyterian Church has started a Wedding closet to store these items to be used again. The Wedding Closet is located at the Batchellerville Presbyterian Church at 25 DeGolia Rd, Edinburg ( just over the Batchellerville bridge from Northville). If you are planning a wedding check out what we can offer you. We also would accept any donations that you may have such as wedding dresses, shoes, silk flowers and bows, ribbon, table runners, linens, leftover unused paper plates, centerpieces, ring-bearer pillows, flower girl baskets, unused guest books, invitation kits, etc. If you would like to get in touch with us to see what is available or to make a donation either email us at [email protected] or call Marilyn at 863-2201.

SACANDAGA GARDEN CLUB

by Barbara Henry

Oh my goodness, looking back I can remember a cold windy day in early June when our club went to visit Tom and Kathy O’s perennial gardens in Ephratah. Anna Johnson was all bundled up in a blanket she keeps in her car – smart woman! Still, the rains held off and Kathy greeted us with a hot cup of coffee. Their gardens are lovely, both sun and shade plants in wonderful combinations so we could see just what might work in our own gardens. I picked up several pots of a cranesbill geranium which makes a lovely mounded plant and blooms most of the summer. Those went in my front yard where I am trying to create a cottage/wildflower garden to encourage more birds and insects. I have had lots of butterflies so far this year and I hope they will use the parsely plants I have dotted about to shelter the chrysalis for next year. Did you go see the flower show we had at the library – our members are so talented, the arrangements were spectacular. If ever you need help with any type of table design or designs for the holidays and are not sure how to go about it, do give one of our members a call. We are all happy to help in any way.

There is an upside to all the rain we have been having; my peonies are full of blooms this year and the astilbe are putting out many more flower heads, in another couple of weeks they will fill up the border with their color. All this rain also means I don’t have to go out and put more water on my water loving plants such as the cardinal flower, the Joe-Pye weed and the filipendulas. The cardinal flower does like to be wet most of the time but the others do well with an extra bucket of water now and then when the rain doesn’t cooperate. However, you might want to keep a close eye on your tomato plants because all this rain could bring on early blight. If you see the bottom leaves start to yellow, then brown and fall off then early blight may be the cause. Feed them with a fertilizer with high nitrogen, or use bloodmeal, and that should stop the problem. Tomatoes are heavy users of nitrogen – think of all those leaves as the plant grows. Now that most of your planting is done, it is a great time to walk around your garden and see how the plants are growing and perhaps what may need to be divided later in the year or what combinations are doing well and what is not doing so well. As you are walking around take a pair of scissors with you and continue to deadhead your spring flowering bulbs. Don’t tie up your daffy stalks, instead use daylilies or hosta or phlox to camouflage the foliage as it ripens. Mark areas where you need to add more bulbs so that

when you plant in the fall you don’t dig up previously planted bulbs. Now matter how many times I tell myself to keep good records I can guarantee that I will spear an existing bulb when I start planting in September. My bulb catalogues have started arriving so I am walking the garden and making notes of what I need to order to fill out the bulb display. Keep up with the weeding, the more you get it under control now, the less problems you will have later in the year. Watch for phlox and hollyhock seedlings for example, they will pop up in the most unexpected places and you can leave them and enjoy them or transplant them to a more convenient area. I have some lupine seedlings that I have no idea how they got where they are, those I am transplanting to my front garden. Lupines are best transplanted young, they really don’t like to be moved when they are bigger. Forsythia and lilacs should be pruned at this time of year. If you have large plants take out one fourth of the largest canes, these will be the older canes and this will encourage new growth for next year, keep your shrubs down in size and maintain a good shape to the plant. A light haircut to azaleas is beneficial too. The garden club is taking a couple of months off to enjoy the summer months with friends and families visiting us. We are planning our program for the coming year and will meet again in September. As always, questions and comments can be sent to POBox 675, Northville NY.

but have made no special plans. The truth is we are hoping for nice weather so we can spend the weekend on our boat. Sometimes it feels like heaven to stay home and spend time with friends. We have not seen so many of you in such a long time! It is time to celebrate the 4th of July. In 1776 we were given the right to speak freely and to live, shop, work and play where ever we choose. There is no doubt that our economy is still on shaky ground. We are all fighting to survive and it is hard for us to remember, sometimes, how lucky we really are. My Great Grandfather came up here in 1927 when times were tough. Things were no different for my father and grandfather. Growing up, I don’t remember a lot about those times but I understand them now. We, as did they, continue to believe in what we do and want to be able to continue to serve the water needs of the Great Sacandaga region for years to come. We live in a community that is trying to hold itself together. Unfortunately we are not unique. When money is tight people tend to turn their backs on the “locals”. We see people coming into the area to work from out of state. These contractors come in with cheap pricing (and materials) but they do not provide customer service. They are saying what ever they think they need to say to make the sale. We are not going to do that but can see how easy it is to get sucked into the game. When you need any work done, don”t fix your problem by taking the cheap route. We learned and paid dearly for that very early in our marriage. If you need a service, look within your community first. Do your homework, get all of the information that you need and make an informed decision. It does not matter if you are building a house, drilling a well, going out to eat or just going shopping. Don”t discount the locals! We believe in our community and are here for you! Enjoy your summer and we can”t wait to see you on the lake! Billy-Happy Anniversary ... I love you!

As you all know, I have been something of a slouch for the last few months; living the life of leisure... HA! I just had surgery to repair my ACL and it is hopefully my final surgery EVER . While I was happy to get this procedure done, the timing could not have been worse! You know how it is, when something turns to “poo” it all turns to “poo” at the same time. I thought I was prepared but I had no clue of what was to come. Everyone told me when I had my heart surgery, I would lose my appetite, be tired and want to cry a lot. Well that did not happen for that surgery it happened after my knee surgery. I rarely cry but for a week, I cried over everything. It still happens when I least expect it and every one irritates me. Everything at work has been crazy and everyone has been warned. Additionally, if I hear one more time that I only had knee surgery I am going to scream. Anyway, my body is healing fine and I want to give a shout out to the staff at Ambulatory Surgery at St. Mary’s Hospital. People kept asking me why I was

going to a hospital in Amsterdam . Let me tell you, everyone was wonderful. The staff was every bit as professional, as the staff are at the larger hospitals. I even got a “this is meant to be moment”. I found out that the nurse who prepped me lives down the road from our office and we drilled her well. Not only that, she and her husband boat on this lake! It is a small world. Cheryl if I see you out and about I will buy you a drink. You are wonderful!! Bill and I are celebrating our 35th anniversary on the 10th of July. I am guessing that after all that we have been through in the last year, we will make it another 35 years. People keep asking us how we are going to celebrate it. We have considered many options
