Nearly 200 Participate in Hoosic River Ride

A bicycle ride through the Hoosic River watershed in Massachusetts, New York and Vermont attracted 186 riders and 20 volunteers on August 21, a record-setting number. According to Hoosic River Ride organizer Lisa Carey Moore, a combination of good weather and widespread, positive word-of-mouth about the event, in its sixth year, was responsible for a crowd that was half again as large as the previous high. “This is a lovely ride along the Hoosic River, through beautiful farmland mostly on lightly traveled roads,” said Carey Moore. “Once you do it you want to do it again, so the numbers increase.” The ride benefits the Hoosic River Watershed Association, a tri-state, Williamstown, Massachusetts-based river advocacy group. Riders had a choice of 75-mile, 50-mile, 28-mile or eight-mile loops, crossing three covered bridges, passing the Bennington, Vermont Battle Monument, the Old First Church and other historic sites — as well as, on the longest run, climbing to Petersburgh Pass on the New YorkVermont border. Lead sponsor for the ride was Heleocentric, Inc. of Williamstown. Other major sponsors were Cobble Hill Farm, Donovan & O’Connor, Greylock Animal Hospital, Mark A. Pullano DMD, and Jack Miller Contractors. Several other area businesses contributed as well. Along with gorgeous scenery and river views, the ride, headquartered at Southern Vermont College in Bennington, featured aide stations, technical support, and a huge post-ride picnic. Volunteers are needed for the 2011 Hoosic River Ride.

FROM MY CORNER

Auxiliary Meeting

■

— by Susan J. Coons ...looming in the distance... I can feel its approach...it’s looming off in the distance, but I know it’s coming! I know because the days are getting shorter. You know what I’m thinking about, don’t you? Yes, you do. First fall and then...and then winter! Oh, no! This week and for the next couple of weeks, I’m going to begin my summer wind-down and make the necessary phone calls for furnace cleaning, filling the tank (I only use one tank of oil for the winter since I have been using my pellet stove), and ordering pellets. I have to paint the cellar door this week and take care of some trimming in the yard. I want to get the outside of my house and yard secure before the leaves fall and the snow flies. In a few weeks the early mornings will be covered with blankets of fog along the streams and rivers as their warmth evaporates into the cooler morning air. And before you know it, we’ll be picking apples on brisk September afternoons and enjoying hot cider as we sit around the wood stove. I enjoy autumn. The crisp air is invigorating and the colors are beautiful. It’s just that what follows is not my favorite season! About the only good thing about winter is that there’s wall-to-wall football on television! I start to count the hours of daylight in each from the winter solstice to spring. I’ve tried many ways to keep the dark and gloomy days of winter from getting me down. I turn on my happy lights (soft, warm lights), I light all the candles, I play the Beach Boys, Abba, Frank, Rolling Stones, Beatles, symphonic and classical music, I draw and paint, and I work. I like to bake in the winter. The wonderful aroma of pies or bread baking in the oven fills the house on those closed-in afternoons, while I lie back on the sofa and read my New Yorker. I won’t think about having to bundle up and dig myself out to get to the trash can. I won’t think about what would happen if the power went out. I won’t think about how cold the kitchen is when I get up in the morning (sometimes 36 degrees). I won’t think about having to warm up the car every morning. I won’t think about the car not starting when the temperature is 20 below! I won’t think about falling on the ice! I won’t think about having to keep my dog, Jill, company when she goes out to do her business because she doesn’t like the cold any more than I do. I won’t think about boots on and boots off. OMG! I just remembered! I have to get my coats cleaned! CYA! ________________________________________________

The Hoosick Falls, New York American Legion Auxiliary will hold its September meeting on Thursday, September 2 at 7 p.m. at the Post on Main Street, Hoosick Falls, New York.

What’s Old is New Again

ily. Abutting neighbors like Nemer Automotive, Vermont Composites, Grace Christian School, NSK, and others are welcoming us back with much excitement. This will also place the Car Show back in close proximity to the Quilt Show now being held at the Mt. Anthony Middle School during the same weekend – always two weeks after Labor Day. We want to thank Colgate Park who offered their gorgeous property. If only it had been a bit larger I think the Committee could have made it work. It was a tough decision for everyone. Melissa Morrison at the Holden Farm also would have worked with us to expand the Car Show Site out on Route 9 West. I have to say how nice everyone was to help us in our quest for the ultimate location. It’s good to know that so many people want to help keep Bennington on the map with community events. We look forward to a great Car Show this year in Pownal. Look for it next year back home at Willow Park, Bennington, Vermont with some new activities and expanded programs. Check www.bennington.com for many of the Chamber of Commerce projects and membership opportunities.

The Car Show Steering Committee of the Bennington Area Chamber of Commerce, Bennington Rotary, and the Green Mountain Car Club are pleased to announce to the public that the Bennington Car Show will be returning to Bennington in 2011. This will be our last year down at the Track in Pownal. We want to thank all the wonderful people in Pownal who have made it such a pleasure. The Pownal Rescue Squad, Winchester’s Market, the Pownal Select Board, Stewarts, Chick and Doug, the Shriners, Tornabene’s, Jelley’s, John Armstrong, and all the rest of the businesses. The Car Show move is a return to its roots. The fields at Willow Park have been restored by the Town of Bennington and will be ready for September 2011. We are very excited to be able to come home. There will be plenty of parking, room for cars, vendors, and food. The infrastructure that the Car Show had built in to the park will supply a lot of our logistical needs.

To register for the bake-off or to find out more information, please go to www.cambridgenychamber. com and click on the events page. This information is also available in printed form. Please contact the Chamber by phone 518-677-0887 for an application. Do you think you can eat an apple pie (ala mode of course) faster than anyone? The Chamber’s hands-free pie eating event was a huge attraction last year. Contestants must finish their pie and ice cream first to claim the prize. Open to all ages, this event is good (and messy) fun for entrants and spectators! Crafts, vendors and more! In addition to the apple pie events, there will be children’s activites, crafts, vendors, music, great food and fun. In the evening the Cambridge Hotel is sponsoring great music under the tent and the party continues!

B-b-b-but Gladys, I thought if I saved the most money...

Well, thanks for thinking, Fester... You did save big on the HomeLegends laminate at only $149 a square foot...

with

*That’s 88 cents a square foot, folks!

...but it looks like the HOME OFFICE isn’t going to happen after all, now that we’re going to have a LITTLE VISITOR...

Wow, Fester. That’s a lot of laminate. I hope those are steel-toed sneakers...

Meet Jill and Alexandra

��

The story of Jill and Alexandra is heart-warming. Jill is less than one year old, a very happy, affectionate and unusually sweet cat. She came from a low income family who could not keep her but gave her plenty of affection. Alexandra is a 13 week old kitten rescued from a trailer park in Bennington. She is shy, very sweet and loving. Jill and Alexandra met at their foster home. Jill has taken the little one under her care and with her gentle, sweet personality managed to make Alexandra feel secure and loved. As a consequence, Alexandra is less shy and a happy kitten ready to be adopted. It would be great if both could go to the same home, but they are also available separately as well. Jill and Alexandra are being fostered by Celeste O’Malley at the Handsome Hound on Route 7A, and can be seen during the day by calling 802- 447-2333 for an appointment. Francis of Assisi currently also has five other kittens available for adoption; Sonya, Chip, Bonita, Little One and Nicole. If you are considering cat or kitten adoption, please contact Francis of Assisi Society for Companion Animals at 802-236-9123 or 802- 4473191. All animals adopted from our organization have been thoroughly tested and vaccinated and age-appropriately spayed or neutered. Francis of Assisi Volunteers run our organization entirely on donations and 100% of money donated is spent on health care and nutrition for the animals. If you are interested in contributing, please send your donation check to Francis of Assisi Society for Companion Animals, P.O. Box 496, Shaftsbury, VT 05262.

Realtor of the Year

The Realtor of the Year is an award given by the Southern Vermont Board of Realtors each year to a Realtor nominated by their peers.This year, that honor was bestowed upon Troy Richardson of RE/MAX Maple Leaf Realty in Bennington. “It is an honor to be recognized for volunteering within the community,” said Troy. The realtor of the year recognizes realtor spirit defined as the faithTroy Richardson fulness and willingness to support the articles and principles designed to distinguish realtors, activity within the Southern Vermont Board of Realtors, activity within the state and national association, civic activity and business accomplishments. Troy has demonstrated accomplishments in all of these areas. Troy has co-owned RE/MAX Maple Leaf Realty since late 2007, is the current President and past Treasurer of the Bennington Catamount Rotary, is President-Elect of Catamount Rotary Charities, serves on the Board of Directors of the Southern Vermont Board of Realtors, Northern New England Real Estate Network, Career Development Center Building Trades Department, and was appointed by the Bennington Select Board as Commissioner representing Bennington on the Bennington County Regional Commission. Through his career in real estate, he has also served on the Board of Directors of the Vermont Association of Realtors, the Vermont Real Estate Information Network and has served as a voting delegate to the National Association of Realtors in New Orleans. Troy has been involved in fundraising in the area by bringing the RE/ MAX hot air balloon to Bennington twice to raise funds for American Cancer Society Relay for Life, participating in Bowl for Kid’s Sake for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, volunteering at the 100 for $100 art event downtown, Catamount Rotary Pancake Breakfast, and assisted with the Catamount Rotary Moonlight in Vermont event in 2008 and this coming October 2010. Troy has also raised funds for the past three years for a New Orleans based program called Food for Friends, which provides meals to those afflicted with and affected by HIV and AIDS. Other volunteer activities include participating in Spirit of Sharing, Warm the Children and serving as a moderator for online real estate discussion forums, sharing and exchanging ideas with real estate practitioners nationwide. In the interest of educating the public about realtors, Troy has cohosted over 75 weekly broadcasts of a radio show called Real Estate Today on WBTN-AM in Bennington. Troy has achieved the professional designations of Accredited Buyer Representative, e-Pro and gained his broker license in 2008, providing further proof that continuing education is so important in this business. The Realtor of the Year from each regional area in Vermont is then nominated for the State Realtor of the Year recognition awarded in September at the annual convention, held this year in Stratton. The Southern Vermont Board of Realtors is the regional membership association for realtors to network, learn and provide local assistance to fellow realtors.

Fish Available for Pond Stocking

The Rensselaer County Soil & Water Conservation District’s Annual Fish Stocking Program is currently taking orders for Rainbow and Brook Trout, as well as Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Fathead Minnows and Crayfish! Call the Conservation District at 518-271-1740 for an order form with more information on stocking. Orders will be taken up to September 24, with the distribution to be held on October 1, at 1:00 p.m. The fish will be distributed in the parking lot of our Agriculture & Life Sciences Building in Troy. A fish-stocking permit is required through NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. This permit is available free of charge and will last for five years. Fall is a great time to stock your pond! Trout do best in spring-fed or deeper ponds. Bass and Catfish can tolerate a lot of conditions. With trout you can expect to restock every three years, with bass usually reproducing on their own. Again this year we have fish food. With fish pellets you can get a tremendous increase in growth rates. Don’t wait, call for an order blank! The Fish Stocking Order Blank is online again this year. You may also download an order blank by going to the Rensselaer County Web Site, which is, www.rensco.com, and follow the link to the “How to”….box on the left hand side of the page, scroll down to the Fish Sales link, click and print it out. The Conservation District is an equal opportunity Employer and Provider.
