of Long Lake. Make sure to bring a chair or blanket or come early to reserve your picnic table. If you daydreamed during 10th grade English class (sorry Mr. Farrell!) and need a lit-tle refresher on the plot of the play, it is listed below:

Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a roman-tic comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to

have been written around 1601–1602 as a Twelfth Night’s entertainment for the close of the Christmas

season. The play centers on the twins Viola and Sebas-tian, who are separated in a shipwreck.

Leave No Trace PrinciplesThe Adirondack Park

provides a haven of pris-tine wilderness in New York state’s northernmost reaches. It also offers an abundance of outdoor rec-reation opportunities for explorers of all ages and experience levels! While you enjoy your visit, please keep the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace in mind. Set forth

by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Eth-ics, and championed by many partners within the Adirondack Park, these principles will not only improve your own nature experience, but they help preserve this unparalleled natural wonder for genera-tions to come.#1- Know Before You Go

Be prepared! Re-

member food, water, and clothes to protect you from cold, heat, and rain.

Use maps to plan where you’re going. Check them along the way so you’ll stay on course and avoid getting lost. Learn about the areas you plan to visit.#2- Stick to Trails and Camp Overnight Right

Walk and ride on designated trails to protect trailside plants. Camp only on existing or desig-nated campsites to avoid damaging vegetation.#3- Trash Your Trash and Pick Up Poop

Pack it in, pack it out. Put litter—even crumbs, peels and cores—in garbage bags and carry it home. Use bathrooms or outhouses when avail-able. If they’re not avail-able, bury human waste in a small hole 6-8 inches deep and 200 feet or 70 big steps from water and the trail.#4- Leave It As You Find It

Leave plants, rocks, and historical items as you find them so others can enjoy them. Treat living plants with respect. Carv-ing, hacking, or peeling plants may kill them.

Save roaming cell phone minutes by using the free hi-speed WIFI provided by SLIC Network Solutions. Wifi hubs are available at he Long Lake Beach, Mt. Sabattis Pavilion, Long Lake Town Hall and the Long Lake Ball Field. They are open 24 hours a day so you can always stay connected even while on vacation. Use from the comfort of your car.

Webcam! The Town of Long Lake is excited to offer a 24 live webcam from the Long Lake Beach look-ing north and south and Mt. Sabattis. To access it go to https://mylonglake.com/long-lake-webcam/

Wi-Fi Hot Spots

#5- Be Careful with FireUse a camp stove for

cooking. Stoves are easier to cook on and create less impact than a fire. If you want to have a campfire, be sure it’s permitted and safe to build a fire in the area you’re visiting. Use only existing fire rings to protect the ground from heat. Keep your fire small.#6- Keep Wildlife Wild

Observe wildlife from a distance and never approach, feed or follow them. Human food is un-healthy for all wildlife and feeding them starts bad

habits. Protect wildlife and your food by securely storing your meals and trash.#7- Share Our Trails and Manage Your Pet

Be considerate when passing others on the trail. Keep your pet under control to protect it, other visitors, and wildlife. Be sure the fun you have outdoors does not bother anyone else. Remember, other visitors are there to enjoy the outdoors too.

Trailblazers ProgramTrailblazers is run

through the Prevention Department of Hamil-ton County Community Services. The mission of Trailblazers is to prevent the onset of alcohol, to-bacco, and other drug use by building an individual’s character through participa-tion in adventure activities. We hope to create a unique learning experience for kids and help them grow their self-esteem, resiliency, and learn to work as part of a team.

This year, we will be teaming up with many local agencies and organizations, including DEC Forest Rangers, Hamilton County Public Health, Hamilton County Soil and Water, Cornell Cooperative Ex-tension, and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. We hope to strengthen com-munity attachment, pride, and confidence among our county’s youth by high-lighting some of the many wonderful opportunities we have right in our own back-

yards to live, work, play, and learn!

We are looking for-ward to a wonderful sum-mer, and currently have roughly 70 3rd through 9th graders enrolled in the program county-wide. Long Lake and Indian Lake students will be grouped together and will be hik-ing Watch Hill, Buttermilk Falls, Chimney Mountain, and Castle Rock. We have a visit planned to the Adi-rondack Experience, The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake, where the students will get a chance to explore and learn about map and compass reading. The next week, we will be going out on Indian Lake with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Boat. We are also excited about our rafting trip with Adventure Sports Rafting, and our trip to Enchanted Forest Water Safari. We will wrap up the summer with an end-of-summer party and bar-beque, sponsored by The Salvation Army.

The Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) is asking people to take an online survey about mountain biking in the Adirondack Park. This is important to help determine people’s biking habits around the Park, but this also has a local impact as the Town of Long Lake is building our own mountain biking trails on Mt Sabattis this summer. The survey can be found online via the follow-ing link, and take approximately 5 minutes to complete, and enters you in a draw-ing win a GoPro Hero 9 bundle.
