Great Camp to get new roof By Tim Rowland STA FF W RITER
NEWCOMB | Once on the brink of being allowed to decay back into the forest, the Santanoni great camp has received a $370,000 from the National Park Service that will significantly stabilize the 125-year-old retreat for years to come. Most notably, the camp will receive a new roof made of western cedar shingles — no small job on a building whose footprint artistically unfolds over 15,000 square feet. » Santanoni Cont. on pg. 3

SCHROON LAKE | As they renovated and expanded an old fishing camp they had purchased in 2002 on a narrow bank of land between Adirondack Road and the east shore of Schroon Lake, David and Peri Namerow faced a dilemma. Two stately trees would have to come down to accommodate the blueprints, something they did not want to do. After the first was cut, Peri said no, the second would stay and the house plans would accommodate the tree, not the other way around. “I said I don’t have the heart to take that down,” Peri said. In time though, the old tree did not survive — but having saved it once, the Namerows were determined to save it again. And they did, with the help of legendary Schroon Lake chainsaw carver Frank Cavoli, who has produced in his career 50,000 carved bears, but is less known for his abstract sculptures in wood and marble. David said the couple wanted to honor the tree
by making it a piece of art, somewhat reminiscent of American totems. Peri said she wanted it to be abstract — no bears — and so their wishes and Cavoli’s fine-art side meshed perfectly. Cavoli built a scaffolding and over the course of a week and nine chainsaws carved the tree into a freestanding piece of art that became the talk of boaters up and down the lake. The spire has a dark metallic coating that will keep out rot and ensure that the artwork is a landmark for years to come. Cavoli said it was a joy to work on, basking in the beauty of Schroon Lake, which the Namerows call a “hidden gem.” Cavoli agrees, and even though he’s been carving for 30 years in the area, he still stops to photograph the lake when the September mists are rising in the morning. Like the mist, his sculpture too rises and twists gracefully, its crowning wisps stretching skyward for the clouds. The project came at an opportune time, Cavoli said, as he considers moving more toward abstract art and leaving the animal carvings to his son, Frank Jr., who has added his hand to the business. Cavoli said he never specifically chose the career path, but he was fooling around in shop class when his instructor noticed his talent.
