Busy Times Ahead ... It’s Open House season, a particularly busy time if you are a crafter who shows at these events. We’ve participated in the Estill Arts Council Holiday Craft Fair the past couple of years, and will be there again this year. I knit as fast as my hands will allow and Dave felts as fast as he can so we’re prepared for it. And if nothing else, we sure have a lot of fun that day. And if someone leaves knowing a bit more about alpacas, then we’ve accomplished our goal.
On the web: www.atcky.com PRINTED AT YOUNG’s PUBLISHING. Dayton, Ohio
I must say though, with the abundance of alpaca fleece we’ve had - I had to come up with a few different ideas for using it. And I have accomplished (well sort of) what I got my very first alpaca for in the first place for - spinning it’s fleece into yarn. I have joked many times over the years that I didn’t have enough days left in my life to achieve it, but I’ve recently found out that isn’t the case. I had my “Ah Ha” moment that my first teacher told me I would have. Everything just sort of clicked. And, of course with my personality, I’m now addicted to it. As though I don’t have enough to do on a day-to-day basis, I thought I would throw in a bit more. So our one craft show of the year has now turned into more this holiday season. We will be set up at the Red River Museum in Clay City on November 1st … and rumor has it that I’ll be doing spinning demonstrations. There’s also a Craft Show at Infinity Fitness coming up in November that I’m getting excited about too. And you just never know what else will come along for Dave and I. •••••• We had a blast at Poppy Mountain. Now, we were both somewhat sick with this respiratory virus that is going around and didn’t get to catch every show we wanted to. But, we managed to catch a lot of them. It was kind of fun listening to the IBMA Awards Show on the radio the other day and saying to myself, “hey, I met him” or “Hey, I met all of them.” That’s Bluegrass Music though. The artists are just so nice and patient with the crowds that flock to them. •••••• The Powell County Relay For Life event was held this past weekend. Dave and I always go over to it, and this year was no different. Well, yes it was. It was so COLD! Even being wrapped up in a long sleeved shirt, sweatshirt and huge scarf, I still go chilly. And I’m sure most everyone else did too. But, it’s a good cause, and it’s always fun to visit Powell County anyway. •••••• It’s sure hard to get back into the swing of things once you’ve been gone. My list only gets longer each month. But, winter is just around the corner and I have a feeling that all of us will be spending quite a bit of time inside. The snows are already hitting the northern states and I even heard of Scott Beckler of Irvine flurries up in Ohio this past took this photo of weekend. Oh, the agony of it. the Tennessee Valley And really, I’m from North Railroad Museum Central Idaho - I have nothing to complain about, do I?

Visit the Trading Post and Explore Their Shelves! By Pam Hedge
I’ve had several meetings the past few months with a group from the Red River Gorge working on the Gorge Guide and we had a couple of those meetings at one of our advertisers’ business, the Daniel Boone Trading Post. I told Nancy Hamann, the owner, that we really needed to get the word out about her up-and-coming business located near Slade. It’s the first business you will see when taking the Slade exit and heading towards the park. Of course, being the coffee lover, I was immediately happy to see a coffee bar, where they make mochas, cappuccinos and just plain coffee. They also make smoothies and offer ice cream. But, that is just the tip of the iceberg. After looking around, I noticed quite the selection of grocery items for the camper, even flash-frozen steaks, chicken and salmon. And they also offer lunch specials, which include things like Specialty Salads and some delicious-sounding wraps. They also have necessary camping items - you know the things that you forget. Lantern mantels, extra rope and even firewood.
The Coffee Bar & Lunch Counter were busy during my visit.
Nancy is trying to stock more and more Kentucky-made products. You’ll find a nice selection there now, but I’m sure by next summer she will have a bigger and better “Kentucky” section. She’s going to con her daughter into helping her re-decorate. The business has plans for a camping area, stage and even kids’ games down the road. As with new businesses, everything takes money and their slow season is just around the corner. They will remain open 7 days a week through November and maybe even December, depending on business. So stop by - or take a drive to the Gorge - and check out the Daniel Boone Trading Post. You won’t be disappointed.

Not Your Parents’ Marching Band! By Joe Crawford of Irvine
T
his ain’t your parents’ marching band! For decades, the Estill County High School Marching Engineers have been a source of pride for the people of Irvine, Ravenna & Estill County. Always disciplined and dedicated, members of the band are consistently among the best young people our community has to offer. While the band has always performed well and claims hundreds of proud alumni, it is only in the past few years that the band has been truly reaching championship-caliber. Jason Bowles was a Marching Engineer from 1990-93. During his undergraduate education at Eastern Kentucky University, he helped with the band as staff. Upon his graduation with a music education degree, he took the position as Assistant Director for Estill County under Randy Webb. In 2001, Jason took the reins as Director of the Estill County band program. During his tenure, the band has improved year after year. In 2013, Estill had its best year ever, achieving their highest scores in the history of the program. With the ultimate goal being state finals, which is top 4 in Class AA, Mr. Bowles and the band were charging ahead into regionals. Finishing 1st in the East Region, the band headed to Louisville for State Semi-finals. Faced with high winds that caused unforeseen problems with props, the band performed their best despite great adversity. However, the judges felt the problems were too great and placed Estill as 5th in the state in Class AA, which was still the highest finish ever for the program. Moving into 2014, a lesser program and a lesser director would retreat from the disappointment of nearly meeting a goal and falling short. Losing some outstanding Seniors last year, it was time to reload. This year’s band has expanded in numbers to 60 marching band members. This year’s show, “Nevermore,” contains some of the most challenging music and drill ever attempted by Estill County. Loaded with visual additions akin to professional drum corps, the show is a display of talent, skill and hard work. This

67 River Dr. Irvine, Kentucky
year’s group is truly amazing, given that 21 of them are 1st-time marchers and 17 of them are middle schoolers. They have already been showing what they can do, and they were rewarded for their hard work at the Mason County competition, where they took first overall and were named Grand Champions for the first time ever under current KMEA competition standards. This honor hasn’t been held by an Estill County band at all since the early 1980s. The future looks bright, and their community is behind them all the way. Congratulations band members, Mr. Bowles, Assistant Director Audrey Worrell, staff, and parents! We look forward to seeing you march under the big lights of Roy Kidd Stadium at Eastern Kentucky University for State Finals on November 1st. Roll on, Big Blue!

I am from places where tractors, four-wheel drive trucks and all terrain vehicles are more common than luxury cars. I am from the place where a fishing pole, shotgun or a knife are passed through families for sport or for providing for your family. The place where fields are plowed and hay is cut. Wild berries are picked and preserved or consumed right on the spot. Mud and blood sometimes go hand in hand and one is enjoyed as much as the other, badges of honor. I am from the place where neighbors still care. A call when you’re sick, a hand when you need it. A place where evening visits end in the early morning hours. Bonfires and cookouts, trail rides or camping. Where food and drink are shared as freely as the laughter and insults. Where people turn into legend from the good or the funny that they do. I am from the country where our pride and our work ethic go hand in hand. Where we can play as hard as we work. And fight for what we believe in. A place where country churches are filled with song on Sunday morning and the service sometimes ends with baptism in the creek behind. Where we still have dinner on the ground and churches aren’t the only holy places.
Catch The Dave Person on WSKV 104.9 FM
I am from frogs singing in the pond as the whip-o-will calls on a starry night around the fire. I’m from sweaty days that grow long in the fields under the baking sun and end with a dip in the creek. I’m from country festivals where the smell of frying country ham and pork chops vie with the exhaust fumes of vehicles searching for a place to park. I am from the sound of rifle fire in the cold morning air on the first day of deer season. A child’s first deer or fish, held with pride as they grin into the camera, knowing that this is what’s for dinner.

I’m from backyard baseball games refereed by lightning bugs. I’m from fodder shocks in the front yard cut fresh from the garden.

I am from Eastern Kentucky.

All three species of birds are wonderful birds to have in yard and garden. They are attractive, fun to watch, and eat thousands of insects. The boxes come from High Adventure Wilderness School. We have made over 8,000 nesting boxes. All our boxes are made from recycled wood products. The paw print was located on page 17.
To the Editor, My favorite local business would be Pickers Paradise. They always have something new, different or something old that you have not seen in a while.

Komen Grant to fund mammograms for underserved at Marcum and Wallace Hospital
M
arcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital (MWMH) in Irvine has been awarded funding from the Lexington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help fund breast cancer screening and treatment for the underserved and underinsured.
“We are committed to breaking down barriers for women who need access to healthcare,” said Susan Starling, MWMH President & CEO. “We do not want women in our community to go without regular mammograms because of costs associated with the exam.” The Susan G. Komen grant MWMH received will help women who do not have health insurance or are under-insured and cannot afford mammograms. The grant can also provide treatment and support if further healthcare is needed because of an abnormal mammogram. The American Cancer Society recommends that women, age 40 and older, have an annual mammogram. Statistics show than one in every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. Women with a family history of breast cancer should speak with their healthcare provider about the appropriate age to get their first mammogram. Mammograms are the best way to diagnose breast cancer in the early stages when it is often more easily treated. Radiology Director Sharon Whitaker said, “The radiology department at Marcum and Wallace has the latest digital mammography system. This system provides a higher resolution image, a more comfortable patient experience and requires less time to perform the procedure.” Call 606-726-2106 to schedule a mammogram or for more information about the Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant. MWMH accepts mammography orders from all physicians and local health departments. Self-referrals are also available.

Spiders And Other Creepy Crawlers Throughout the year, and especially in September and October, we usually have an occasional spider drop in the Extension Office for a closer inspection and identification. From time to time we identify a brown recluse and even a black widow spider. While this month we will see several “larger than life” spiders dangling from trees and our porches, no one likes the real ones we find in our homes this time of year. Spiders play an important role in nature as they prey on other insects and even birds and animals. All spiders have poison in their bodies that can enable and even kill their prey. However, most spiders have fangs so small they cannot puncture human skin or they have venom that will not affect humans. Of the spiders most capable of inflicting a poisonous bite, the black widow and the brown recluse spiders are the most notorious. The black widow spider female is about 2/5ths of an inch long, shiny black in color with a distinct RED hourglass mark on the underside of the abdomen. Black widow spiders belong to the cobweb spider family and spin a very loosely unorganized web, usually in corners of homes, in closets, or under furniture. This might be the spider that bites you as you put on an old shoe or an old jacket that has hung in a closet for several months. If a person is bitten by a black widow spider, you can usually feel the bite immediately and its venom effects are rapid. Persons known to have been bitten by this spider should seek medical attention immediately. Persons bitten by this spider will become nauseous, experience rigidity of the abdomen and tightness in the chest. The brown recluse spider is about the same size as the black widow spider, but not nearly as easy to distinguish as the black widow. It is far more common in Kentucky. This spider can be found in many shades of brown and its abdomen has a violin shaped mark on the top of its body. For this marking, it is sometimes called the “fiddler spider”. The brown recluse roams at night. It hides in dark corners or obscure places where people seldom are seen. Many people are bitten by brown recluse spiders when working in a dirty barn, pulling weeds in a flower bed, or even rolling over on one in bed. The bite of a brown recluse spider is not noticed quite as quickly as the bite of the black widow. Within a few minutes of the bite, victims will begin to feel pain and a small blister will form around the bite. Later, the bite will develop into an ulcerous sore which may take up to a month to heal, often leaving a deep scar. While few deaths have been reported as a result of a brown recluse spider, its bite can often bring severe pain with long lasting effects. After the trick-or-treaters leave, no one really wants spiders hanging around the house. The most practical way to keep them away is to apply home barrier treatments around the foundation of our homes. There are many name brands out on the market today, most of which contain the active ingredient-Deltamethrin, Permectrin or Cypermectrin which will prevent insects and arachnids from becoming attached to your home. These barrier treatments can be sprayed on or even sprinkled around the house for improved control. You’ll see a lot of spiders this month, but hopefully none inside your home! Happy Halloween!!

Kentucky Beef Conference It is good to be in the beef cattle business this year! “Today’s Challenges, Tomorrows Opportunities”, is the theme for this year’s Kentucky Beef Conference to be held on October 30, 2014. This meeting is a state wide, educational event that will be of interest to beef cattle producers and will be held in Lexington, Kentucky at the Fayette county Extension Office. The conference begins at 10:00 a.m. with registration starting around 9:00 a.m. Such topics as the following will be covered during the day event: Marketing Overview; Weed control in Pastures, Marketing Feeder Cattle and Marketing strategies for 2015.

Final Reminder One FINAL announcement concerning the use of Farmers Market Coupons, both the WIC checks and the Senior coupons. If you have either of these coupons which are to be used at the Powell County Farmers Market, all coupons MUST BE USED BY October 31st. If you do not use them before this date, you will lose the value of these coupons. The farmers who sell produce at the farmers market will have a few additional days to sign and place their farm number on each check or coupon and redeem them. The market will continue to run the rest of the month. No doubt there will still be a few sweet potatoes squash and pumpkins available for sell there. Make sure to not let those coupons expire! It has been a challenging year for the Powell County Farmer’s Market but we appreciate all our good customers who actually keep the market going.

Harvesting Pumpkins For many people, pumpkins are a symbol of the fall season. Here in Kentucky, commercial farms are harvesting pumpkins, and they are readily available in local markets. For those Kentuckians that grow their own pumpkins, these are probably ready to harvest as well. Whether you grow or buy pumpkins for fall decorations, it is important to realize that careful harvesting and handling will help them last throughout the season. Pumpkins should be harvested as soon as they are ripe and show a good orange color. Although ripe pumpkins can be left in the field for a period of time and tolerate light frost, heavy frost can cause damage. Do not try to harvest when the fruit and vines are wet since this can lead to the development of fruit rot. The best time to harvest is during sunny, dry weather. Cut vines with a pair of shears and leave four to five inches of stem, or handle, attached to the pumpkin to further reduce the chance for rot. Any pumpkins that display signs of rot should be left in the field since these will not store for very long. Damaged pumpkins are much more likely to rot, so handle each fruit carefully to avoid bruising or puncturing the rind. Be sure to store pumpkins in a cool and dry location. To prolong the life of the fruit avoid exposure to direct sunlight as much as possible. Also, store pumpkins in a single layer to promote better air movement, which
Continued on Next Page
Eric Baker,
Continued from Previous Page creates a less than favorable environment for bacteria and fungi. As a consumer, avoid buying pumpkins that show any signs of rot. Also, steer clear of fruit that do not have handles or have handles in poor condition or are rotting. Handle pumpkins with care on the way home and store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep in mind that once a pumpkin is carved, its days are numbered. After cutting, exposed surfaces become colonized with fungi and bacteria. The warmer the weather after a pumpkin is carved, the quicker bacteria and fungi will break down the fruit. For more information about harvesting and handling pumpkins, contact the Estill County Cooperative Extension Service at 723-4557 or your local Extension Office.
Forestry Seminars The Estill County Extension Office is partnering with the University of Kentucky Department of Forestry Extension to offer a Fall Forestry Webinar Series. Forestry extension professors and professional foresters will be presenting the webinars. A webinar is an educational seminar conducted through the internet to satellite locations across the state at the same time. In a webinar meeting, we can use a projector to put a video feed onto a screen so you can see the presenters as they speak. In addition, a microphone will be connected so that we can ask questions to the presenters during the question/answer time. Participants will be connected to locations across the state in a real-time format and receive copies of the presentations from each night. This educational series will be held at the Estill County Extension office on October 7th (topic: help for you and your woodlands), October 14th (woodland certification), October 21st (black bears in Kentucky), October 28th (what’s killing our trees and what we can and can’t do), and November 11th (winter tree identification). The meeting time is from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. each night. Certified Kentucky Master Loggers can receive 1-hour of continuing education credit for each night they attend. If you are interested in attending, please call 723-4557 to pre-register. Estill County Extension is located at 76 Golden Court (off Stacy Lane) in Irvine. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.

Double Trouble.....
Two little boys, ages 5 and 7, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. The mother sent the 5 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?” The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?!

The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “WHERE IS GOD?!” The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?” The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time!” “GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!” www.atcky.com

Happy Poppy! By Pam Hedge
We’ve returned from our yearly vacation to Poppy Mountain and, like in years previous, we had a wonderful time. The inset quote from Bill Monroe sums it up pretty well for us. We have made many, many friends attending bluegrass festivals and each year that we head ‘up the mountain’ we meet a few more there. This year was no exception. Poppy Mountain is an event. It’s a mixture of music, camping, four-wheeling, parades around the campgrounds and just plain fun. At least it is fun for us Idaho people, who had never attended a bluegrass festival before moving to Kentucky. It amazes us to see that many people together in one place and very little problems
from the crowds. It certainly wouldn’t happen at a rock’n’roll concert. Something else you’d never see is people of all ages, all enjoying themselves. The youngest person at the festival was two months old, the oldest was 93. It’s always a treat for us to drive around the different camping areas on the mountain and look at license plates. We’ve yet to spot one from Idaho - but maybe someday. We met a lovely gentleman from Seattle, and I heard there were folks there from Montana. The person that drove the farthest came from San Bernadino, California! There was someone there from Hawaii, but obviously they didn’t drive. We saw cars from Wisconsin, Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Florida, Alabama, Washington, Virginia, Indiana, Maine, West Virginia, Ohio and Montana, in addition to hundreds from Kentucky. There were even folks there from Australia! It was my goal to get as many autographs as I could … and I did quite well, if I don’t say so myself. We didn’t arrive in time on Tuesday to see any of the performances, but I started out Wednesday getting just as many as I could. I managed to get all the big name groups’ autographs and even managed to get Vince Gill to sign the book! We enjoyed the music this year, even though many didn’t quite like Vince Gill and The Time Jumpers as much as I did. But, then again, I did my research before-hand and knew the type of music they played. I must say that one of my very favorite performances this year was by a group called “First Time Around” who is comprised of kids between the ages of 8 and 12. They played a couple of times in the Showcase Barn and we sure enjoyed them. We also enjoyed The Jenkins Twins, from little ole’ Irvine, Kentucky. We’ll be back next year, God willing.
Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.
First Time Around playing in the Showcase Barn were a big hit. They are from the Greenup area. (Photo to the left).

Wilderness Wanderings . . .
By Bill Gordon Stanton, KY
Night paddling... I am writing you from the north woods. …About the latitude of Newfoundland, but nearly due north from Kentucky. My canoe group of eight is six days out from a float plane flight fifty miles back into the bush. …Just us and the wilderness. …Raw, untamed beauty; life’s classroom in mega-Imax proportions. …The land of Moose and Bear, Eagles and Wolves, clean water and clear skies, muskeg, boulders, and pine forests. Here is our story of last night. Sometimes you just know when something special is going to happen. It’s some kind of inner prompting, when all the pieces come together. That’s the way I felt as I paddled around a marshy bay getting in some solo time after a particularly enjoyable day with the group. We were six days into the course, and everyone was used to the routine. Canoe handling was smooth, breaking and setting camp was now quickly and efficiently done, and everyone had settled in to the relaxed backcountry attitude that only comes with putting in the time. The weather was perfect for this time of year, calm, cool, clear. The days were t-shirt warm paddling days, and at night the temperatures would dip into the low 50’s which was great for sleeping. Sculling the canoe forward slowly without a sound, I watched for the movements of wildlife around me. A Loon wailed out her eerie call from somewhere deeper in the cove. I could see fish in the deep, clear water, as well as numerous waterlogged trees, and a variety of boulders scattered across the lake bottom. From the shadows along the shore a dark spot on the surface made its way out into the cove, creating a perfect V pattern on the smooth lake surface. A beaver! It was making the first evening jaunt for supper, looking for some tasty birch saplings to nibble along the opposite bank. Working in closer to the bank, I spied the lodge, a pile of sticks and mud about fifteen feet across, with three underwater entrances. A trace of silt in the water showed me which tunnel the beaver had just used. It was dusk, and the shadows were long fingers on the water, the shoreline dark. An incredible bright orange sunset was now all but over, and the remaining colors were now a deep, dark orange turning into a purple color as a backdrop to the few clouds visible in the twilight. It would be a beautiful night. As I paddled back around the point, our camp became visible. A cheery campfire had been started, and the fire glow matched the intense colors of the sunset. The canoes were pulled up on the rock ledge, turned over and tied for the night, and a couple tents were just partially in view from under the fragrant pine forest canopy. The surface of the lake was like black glass, and the perfect reflection of shoreline and camp was like an artist’s canvas before me. The group was quiet, savoring the moment as they sat in awe of the landscape, each in a comfortable spot by the fire or perched on a rock outcropping along the shore. As the darkness enfolded us in its blanket, under a sky filled with more stars than you can imagine, we gravitated to that cozy circle of light around the fire to share stories of the day, as well as bits of our lives, with each other. These are good times, and many special life memories come out of times spent lingering around a wilderness campfire. I presented an idea to the group for their consideration. “It’s such a beautiful night, I’d like to do something completely different for all of you” I said to the group of eight teens and adults on this wilderness canoeing adventure. “Let’s break camp at 1 a.m. and paddle through the night. We’ll reach our next campsite for breakfast,

and be able to spend the day there, relaxing and exploring a bit” I scanned the faces of each individual...eager, thoughtful, surprised...their emotions highlighted in the dancing glow of the crackling birch wood campfire. “The spot I have in mind is on a sandy point, and we can do some swimming as well.” Night paddling is a particularly enjoyable and rewarding experience, and something that really needs to be experienced to understand. Add to this the dynamics of wilderness navigation, the different uses of your senses, and the unfamiliarity of the night environment, …WOW! The experience is a tremendous memorybuilder for all. The night would be pleasantly cool, clear, and the sliver of a moon would allow for excellent star observation. I knew the route we would take would lead us through a series of rocky islands, with some spectacular rock ledges and shoreline formations that would be eerie and ghostlike in the night shadows. Then we would pass through a long, narrow lake where the shoreline would at times be a few canoe lengths from bank to bank, and at other times be nearly a quarter mile distant. We would be heading almost directly due north for several hours, making for good star navigation, and a heading that proved later to be incredibly lucky for us. Everyone was church-mouse quiet as we broke camp in the middle of the night. I made the rounds of each tent site, and knew that the level of excitement was high. Everyone was eager to begin this new adventure. Aside from the occasional clink of a tent pole being packed, and the rustle of packs being loaded into the waiting canoes, the night was quiet save for an occasional wail of a Loon, or the deep bass “harrumphs” of Bullfrogs crouching among lily pads and cattails. When everyone was packed and we did a final search of the camp to make sure everything was in order, I personally checked each canoe team as they sat quietly at the shoreline.
“Life jackets on?” “All packs tied into the canoe?”
“Do not use your flashlight except in an emergency, let your eyes adjust to the darkness and you’ll see fine. “ I spoke just above a whisper to each in turn as I made my way past the four canoes of eager paddlers. All were excited and ready. My canoe partner Ryan and I silently made our way out from shore and set a leisurely pace for the group to follow. I wanted everyone to stay close, and careful instruction earlier in the evening assured me they were prepared for this different type of paddling experience. The weather was perfect, and there was hardly a sound from anyone. Looking around, each canoe was a black silhouette slipping through the glassy surface of the lake, in and out of the dark shadows of the trees and boulders that rimmed the shoreline. We were gliding along about fifty feet from shore, far enough to avoid any shoals, trees, or boulders, but close enough to make the shadowy landscape interesting and intimate. As we passed a patch of lily pads a beaver slapped his tail on the surface of the water, sending out a loud crack and splash, a sound that travels amazingly far in the north woods night air. I smiled as I heard someone shift their weight and miss a stroke as their paddle clunked against the side of the canoe. The unexpected splash from the beaver startled them, and there were several murmured exclamations among group members. I anticipated this occurring regularly throughout the night, as we paddled from one beaver lodge territory to another. Several miles passed under us as we easily fell into the now-familiar routine of the group’s paddling pace. At about three a.m. I noticed a strange
Continued on Next Page
Night Paddling, Continued from last page glowing in the northern sky, almost like a thin patch of mist or cloud. I whispered to Ryan that the show was about to begin, one we eagerly looked forward to, and hoped would be evident for this group. We called quietly for everyone to move into “park” position; where we have all canoes pull up close, gunwale to gunwale, for rest breaks or instruction. I asked everyone to take a break, get comfortable, and keep their eyes on the northern sky. Minute by minute the glowing increased, until the hazy patch that looked like clouds floating across the night sky became a shimmering band stretching across the deep velvet black of night from west to east. It increased in intensity until it cast a shimmering greenish-yellow light that was so unique it is hard to describe. The wavy ribbon became so distinct that for all the world it looked like a piece of old fashioned ribbon candy stretching across the sky. But...it was always moving, waving back and forth, and pulsing, almost like a living thing up there in the heavens. Somehow, you want to reach up and touch it, or maybe feel it touch your face in the cool, stillness of the night, like snowflakes falling on your skin- but you can’t. Occasionally the pulsing ribbon changed to yellowish white or reddish color. Awesome, just totally awesome!
October Court Days Frankfort – The Kentucky Travel Industry Association has selected October Court Days as part of their 2014 Fall Top Festivals & Events. Held in Mt. Sterling, October 17-20, Kentucky’s oldest running festival is held every third Monday and the weekend prior, throughout historic downtown Mt. Sterling. As Kentucky’s oldest festival, October Court Days began at the turn of the 19th Century when the Kentucky General Assembly decided that each county should meet once a month to hold court. This day became an annual trading day where people came from miles around to buy, sell and trade. Now, this 212 year old festival entices visitors from all over the world to enjoy the ultimate shopping adventure including live bluegrass music, handmade crafts, antiques, tools, collectibles and of course, a country ham sandwich! More information: www.mtsterlingtourism.com or 859.498.8732. A panel of impartial judges selects the Kentucky Travel Industry Association Top Festivals & Events for each season. Criteria for selection include popularity of the event, its impact on the local tourism economy as well as cultural and historical significance. Kentucky Travel Industry Association is a 800 member statewide association representing all sectors of the state’s tourism and travel industry. As the VOICE for the travel industry, KTIA is committed to promoting and strengthening the common objectives of our travel partners.
I think we probably sat there in silence for nearly an hour, the canoes slowly drifting on the calm water of the lake, the night sounds around us. These are the experiences that make a wilderness adventure truly memorable. Everyone was held in captivity by the spectacular show being presented for us that night. No one spoke or moved, basking in the awesome sight and reveling in the unique opportunity we all shared. Resuming our trek through the predawn darkness, I smiled with satisfaction at having everyone experience this night. There was a hint of light along the eastern horizon; it must be just four a.m. Dawn comes early here in summer, and we all watched the eastern sky lighten as the northern lights and stars slowly faded from view. Birds began to fly overhead, and the sounds of the new day chorused around us as we made our way through a narrow cut lined with spectacular rock outcrops and laced with huge boulders strewn in the twenty foot deep clear water. How fresh everything smelled! The pungent aroma of the forest floor mingled with the heady scent of the pines. There was just enough increase in the moisture content in the air to make it feel good as the first wisps of breeze drifted across our faces. It seemed as if you could almost taste the freshness of the air. My thoughts drifted back to reality...taste the air, why ...I was really hungry. A good breakfast sounded like just the thing! Pausing from the easy rhythm of paddling, the group quickly pulled into park position and we discussed some options. We decided to push on for another hour, to that picture-perfect campsite we sometimes used when on this route. The campsite was nestled under a grove of mature pines, on one of the rare sandy points in these lakes, a gift from the glaciers that once covered this region. The ground was covered with a thick soft bed of pine needles, and the shore sloped gently into the lake, which made for pleasant swimming on warm sunny days. It would be a good place to spend a lazy day- eating, napping, swimming, and spending some quiet time with our private thoughts. As we covered the last couple miles in this beautiful land, my mind turned to a big plate of sausage and eggs, hash-browned potatoes, and a steaming cup of fresh brewed coffee. We pulled the canoes up on the sandy shoreline, and stretched our night-weary muscles. Without much discussion, everyone set to the preparations of camp and breakfast. For now, we threw tarps down as ground cloths, then our sleeping bags and air mats laid out for a morning nap in the cool morning air. A near-smokeless birch wood fire was quickly crackling and hot, and had everyone anticipating the coming meal. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a big breakfast in the woods. It is really a full sensory experience. The smells of wood smoke, pine forest, and the earthy forest floor mingle with the tastetempting aromas of sausage and coffee, guaranteed to wake up even the most sluggish sleeping bag addict. Hearing the potatoes and sausage sizzle in the pan, and the subtle gurgling of coffee brewing on the side of the fire will entice the juices to start working in my system for sure. I walked the shoreline, looking into the clear waters of the lake. This had been a night to remember. I was tired, but eager to eat, and then take a swim. But, that’s another story...
