We held our KLA Annual Meeting on July 9th at the Hammond-sport Central School auditorium and approximately 115 members attended We said farewell to two officers and two directors who have completed their terms: Treasurer Dick Honeyman, Secretary Bill Feinstein and directors John Webster and Bruce Inglis. Actu-ally, we are extremely fortunate that John Webster has agreed to be our new Treasurer, so we will continue to benefit from his in-volvement. Bebette Yunis, a previous director of many years, is also joining the KLA Board, after a several year hiatus, to serve as Secretary. We elected two new directors: John Hagreen repre-senting the Town of Urbana and Steve Tomlinson, from the Town of Wayne, who will be an At-Large Director. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated group to assist us with our work.

In addition to our regular reports by the Steuben and Yates Coun-ty Sheriffs, Bill Weber on the Lake Level and Peter Landre on the State of the Lake, we also had an update on Hydrofracking by Jim Barre (a further update is included in this newsletter) along with a report on our related survey by Doug DeFranco . Our Treasurer‟s Report by Dick Honeyman and Audit Report by Chuck Bastian indicated that the KLA is in good financial position with the appropriate financial checks and balances in place. We were also able to introduce our three Ester N. Wahlig Keuka Lake Water-shed Scholarship winners: Kristen Andersen, who will be attend-ing SUNY Cobleskill to study Plant Science, Matthew Dean who will be attending Paul Smith College to study Fisheries & Wildlife Conservation and Tesia Moore who will be attending SUNY Stonybrook to study Environmental & Sustainability Studies. See their photo on page 22

Incredibly, Summer is over and hopefully a beautiful Fall Season is directly ahead. Be well, be safe and recruit a new member!


Hydrofracking & Well Disposal Committee report Hydrofracking & Well Disposal Committee report -- Jim BarreJim Barre

The KLA H&WD Committee reviewed the New York State Department of Conservation‟s Prelimi-nary revised release of its draft Supplemental Ge-neric Environmental Impact Statement (DSGEIS) in July. The DSGEIS considers Keuka Lake a public water supply and will prohibit High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (HVHF) in Keuka Lake and within 2000 feet of its shoreline for at least three years. The KLA H&WD Committee considers this unacceptable and has responded to Joe Martens, DEC Commissioner. The KLA H&WD Committee expects the DEC to prohibit HVHF in entire Keuka Lake Watershed which approximates a 10,000 ft. (2 Mile) buffer.

While the revised release of the DSGEIS contains significant improvement in regulating HVHF activi-ties relating to protecting the environment, it does not treat the Keuka Lake Watershed like the NYC and Syracuse water sources. In fact, the revised release of the DSGEIS prohibited HVHF in these watersheds where previously it required an indi-vidual environmental impact statement. Although the NYS DEC uses water filtration as the differen-tiating factor between Keuka Lake and the NYC

and Syracuse watersheds, filtration has no effect on protecting the Keuka water supply from contamination by methane gas, hydrofracking chemicals and natu-rally occurring radioactive materials (NORMS) re-siding in the Marcellus Shale.

The KLA H&WD Committee is currently waiting for a response from Dec Commissioner, Joe Mar-tens and the final draft version of the SGEIS be-fore beginning further comment. A minimum 60-day comment period is expected immediately fol-lowing the release of the final draft version of the SGEIS. The final draft version of the SGEIS is ex-pected this September.

The KLA H&WD Committee appreciates the Yates County Towns of Barrington, Jerusalem and Milo passing 1 year moratoriums effective on the date that the SGEIS becomes effective.

Keuka Lake area residents are encouraged to at-tend at least one of the many Hydrofracking Infor-mation meetings being conducted around Keuka Lake to become better informed.

Membership Update Membership Update -- Dennis CarlsonDennis Carlson

After a soggy start of the season, July and August were very typical summer months on Keuka. It was amazing the number of people we have had contact with in our respective communities that have said “keep up the good work in supporting and protecting what we love about Keuka”. It is this kind of feedback that makes our efforts rewarding and we want to say thank you for your support. It looks like membership levels for 2011 will be slightly above last year but there are still many around Keuka and the watershed that are not members. We ask that should you have a friend or neighbor that is not a member please encour-age them to join.

All membership funds are used to focus on those issues that you have told us are important. Whether it be water quali-ty, boater safety, watershed storm water manage-ment, water level, invasive species management or any other peripheral activity that compromises Keuka, Board volunteers standby to get involved to understand the issue and take action. Thank you for your support and we support you on your continuing enjoyment of Keuka Lake and the surrounding area. The long standing Mission of the KLA is to Preserve Keuka Lake and Its Natural Beauty for Future Generations. Your support makes this a reality.

Water Quality Water Quality -- Bill LaffinBill Laffin

It‟s difficult to believe that the “Summer of 2011” is winding down and a spring time of very high precipitation was followed by a June and July of below normal precipitation. To top that off, we felt the Virginia earthquake today in Penn Yan. Very weird!

Yates County Soil and Water Conservation District (YCSWCD) held a water chestnut pull in the

Penn Yan marsh in the July timeframe and successfully pulled about same amount of invasive weeds as 2010. We were able to find an airboat operator in Dundee and he assisted with maneuvering into the thickest parts of the marsh. The density of Asian Water Chestnuts appears to be less than the summer of 2010. For 2012, the YCSWCD is planning to apply for a grant from the KLA so the same airboat operator can perform an extended evaluation and pull in the Penn Yan Outlet Marsh and if time permits, maybe a survey Sugar Creek in Branchport. At this point the Keuka Watershed Improvement Cooperative (KWIC) has put its plans on hold to revamp its website and to create a public portal so that residents can access the inspection data in a “read only” format. They are evaluating alternatives other than a complete web site rebuild.

The revised Waste Water Law has still not been passed by Urbana and Penn Yan. Penn Yan is working on it and Urbana appears to be waiting until after the fall elections. Again, this is not a new law but only a revision to existing code in order to keep up with the changes in State requirements since the mid 1990‟s.

Waste Water System Inspections are progressing but are behind expectations for this time of

year. If you have been notified that your system is due for an inspection, please call your inspector to schedule an appointment. There are penalties for non compliance so please don‟t forget to get your system inspected.

As previously reported, the 15+ years of test data that the KLA has accumulated provides a

good base line (Ph, conductivity, nitrates, phosphorus, and zooplankton) for measuring any future im-pact of Marcellus Shale drilling activity, if it gets approved. Based upon research and consultations with other agencies, the KLA has added chloride and barium testing to its deep water samples. The KLA has also performed its first complete scan on the deep water samples, similar to what Steuben County is doing at their county landfill site. The results of these tests have not been received yet and will hopefully be reported on in the next Newsletter.

Navigation & recreation Navigation & recreation -- Chuck BastianChuck Bastian

Looking Ahead to Fall 2011Looking Ahead to Fall 2011

If you want an extra copy of the Directory, it is available at the KLA Office ($10 for members, $15 for non-members), Browsers (H‟sport) & Longs‟ Cards & Books (PY). Keep on in your car & boat or take one to your winter home - a very handy reference! See order form on pg. 24.

KLA 2011 DirectoryKLA 2011 Directory

We hope everyone has been enjoying the great summer weather we have had out on the lake. As you As you may have noticed the boating activity really seemed to pick up this year. With that came a greater responsibility of all operators to be more in tune with Safety and Navigation laws as well as re-spect for your neighbors. As you begin to wind down your boating activities this fall, please keep in mind a number of safety con-cerns: WATER TEMPERATURE - Make sure you are properly dressed and outfitted as the lake tem-peratures begin to drop rapidly (please see the water temperature graph on the KLA website). It has historically dropped from the 70's down into the 50's from Mid-September to mid-October. SAFETY EQUIPMENT - As you begin to winterize your boat and put it away, take an inventory of your safety equipment to see if anything will need replacing for the upcoming 2012 season (time to get those items onto your Christmas lists now while they are fresh in your mind). Also think about any other new safe-ty equipment that you might have seen this summer that you should have for next summer - marine radio, depth finder, new spot lights, etc. Also, please continue to watch the future NYS Legislative Sessions to see if the previous Assembly Bill (A5889) gets resurrected for the legislative approval process or not. This Bill would require anyone born after January 1, 1992 to hold a Boater Safety Course Certificate in order to operate any "mechanically propelled vessel". Whether or not this ever becomes law in NYS, it still is a great idea for EVERYONE to take and pass a Boater Safety Course. Recently, the Sheriffs have mentioned to us that residents need to take extra caution regarding "Chinese Flying Lanterns" around the lake. First of all they could be a fire hazard when they land, and secondly if they land in the lake they would then become a navigation hazard, not to mention pol-lution to this eco-system. Please be responsible with these. Lastly, but most importantly, please keep in mind the new law that is now in effect: Have a great Fall!

Subject: Navigation law amendment effective 11-01-09 Navigation Law § 40 currently requires certain vessels to maintain personal flotation devices, and also mandates that they be worn in certain circumstances. It does not, however, require passengers of pleasure vessels, over the age of eleven, to wear a PFD when the vessel is underway. A 6784, now signed by the Governor, states that “No owner or operator of a pleasure vessel less than twenty-one feet, including rowboats, canoes, and kayaks shall permit its operation, between November first and May first, unless each person on board such vessel is wearing a securely fastened United States Coast Guard approved wearable personal flotation device of an appropriate size when such vessel is underway.”


ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES July 9, 2011

Hammondsport Central School

President Rob Corcoran called the meeting to order at 9:00 AM and thanked everyone for coming. I. Introduction of Officers and Directors and KLA – Rob Corcoran

Rob introduced the current KLA Officers, Directors, Consultant and Administrative Assistant. Rob then gave an over-view of KLA‟s activities since the 2010 Annual Meeting.

Joined Finger Lakes Regional Watershed Association (FLRWA)

Continued our involvement in hydrofracking issues; conducted a member survey on the subject

Continued to work closely with KWIC, KLOC & Cornell Cooperative Extension

Published a Directory this spring

Continued to provide KWIC with funds to pay for the development of a web-based septic inspection system.

Continue to be involved with LULA.

The Keuka Lake Book is on our website and our quarterly newsletter continues to be published.

He summarized our past contributions & involvements: Assisting KLOC, Friends of the Outlet, LULA, Ham-mondsport‟s Fire Boat, defribrilllators for the Sheriffs‟ boats, water testing & scholarships.

He asked that any new ideas be presented to the KLA.

Rob concluded by stating that there are over 2900 dwellings on the lake, plus many more in the Keuka Watershed and the KLA should be considered an “expanded neighborhood association”.

II. Approval of the 2010 Annual Meeting Minutes Following an agreement to dispense with reading of the minutes from the 2010 Annual Meeting, as they were report-

ed in the KLA newsletter, the minutes were accepted by all after a motion by Dick Honeyman, seconded by Bill Laffin

III. Introduction of 2011 Scholarship Winners

Rob introduced the 2011 winners of the Esther N. Wahlig Watershed Scholarship: Matthew Dean, Tesia Moore and Kristen Andersen. All are graduates of Penn Yan Academy.

IV. Treasurer’s Report – Dick Honeyman Dick reported that the KLA is in healthy financial shape. He shared the following financial figures for the 12-month

period ending June 30th:

1. Data includes both operating funds and the Esther Wahlig Watershed Endowment.

2. Our main source of revenue is Membership Dues. Because dues are mostly received in the first 6 months, but expens-es are spread throughout the year, net assets are higher at mid-year than they will be at year end. 3. A new Lake Directo-ry was published this year which causes both revenue and expenses to be at higher levels than 2009 or 2010. 4. 4. Our ongoing strong financial position allowed us to continue many key programs and activities in support of Keuka Lake and the KLA Mission. Some of the key expenditures during the last year include:

• Navigation safety and law enforcement

– Boating and fishing regulation flyers

– Equipment to aid Sheriff‟s patrol

• Lake level management support

2009 2010

2011 Thru June 30

Revenue $100,788 $102,284 $88,885

Expenses $95,581 $95,379 $73,122

Balance on Hand $150,013 $156,918 $172,413

V. Audit Report – Chuck Bastian

Audits were conducted in January and June. All was in order.

VI. Recognition of Retiring Board Members – Rob Corcoran

Rob recognized and praised retiring KLA Officers for their dedication & hard work: Dick Honeyman, Treasurer and Bill Feinstein, Secretary. He presented them with pottery wine coolers.

VI. Nominating Committee Report – Bill Laffin The Nominating Committee would like to thank all the KLA members who responded to our call for volunteers to serve on the Board of Directors. The response was a clear indication that the membership of the KLA is desirous of participating in the operation of the organization. The biographies of the proposed new board members were includ-ed in the letter announcing this meeting. Their backgrounds are varied and these nominees will be an asset to the continued forward progress of the KLA. Proxy cards have been distributed & received from members that are eligible to vote and will be voted by President Rob Corcoran & Secretary Bill Feinstein. Bill asked for nominations from the floor. As there were none, Bill said “At this time, I make a motion to elect the following first term members of the Keu-ka Lake Association Board of Directors

And to re-elect the following current Board of Directors members.”

The motion was seconded by Dennis Carlson and approved by the membership. The Nominating Committee thanks you.

VIII. Special Reports

A. Lake Patrol Report Chuck Bastian began by thanking the Sheriffs‟ Marine patrol for bring equipment to display and offering informa-

tional flyers. He shred actions/suggestions from his committee:

Each year we update our Navigation & Fishing Regulations Flyer that we distribute to different commercial operations and publish in various area publications and in our newsletter.

We meet with the sheriffs each year to discuss navigation & safety issues and any new laws.

One concern is help in identifying distress situations by using one of these blue light flashing flashlights. They can be purchased at Staples, Wegmans, and Home Depot.

Watch your wake so that is does not disturb the shoreline – especially important when the lake level is high.

“Float Plan” – File one with your family when you go for a ride.

Take a boater Safety Course – Chuck received $50 off his boat‟s insurance by taking one.

Chuck then introduced Yates Sheriff, Ron Spike and Steuben Sheriff Deputy, Ray Dell. Ron Spike spoke first and introduced his deputies Ed Nemitz & Greg Fingar. He extended his thanks to the KLA for its support and advocacy in helping to recover funding for the 2011 Marine Patrol. In 1959, they received 75% of NYS Boater Registration fees – now, they get 50%. He summarized the Marine Patrol‟s 2010 statistics, adding that they had 223 individuals in boater safety classes. He stated they have a new boat (displayed out front) from a $50,000 grant. Lighted buoys have been placed in front of Camp Cory and Eggleston Point and new channel markers in PY. He isn‟t sure what next year will bring as 5% has been cut from the Yates County budget – it could result in one less day of patrolling.

Ray Dell used a Power Point presentation to share statistics of the Steuben Marine patrol: • One primary 22 foot Boston Whaler • Five Part-time staff • Budget of $35,187 for the year • NYS Reimbursed $22,085 • Steuben County taxpayer yearly cost - $13,102 • All public waterways within the county • Also mutual aid with adjoining counties • Increased emphasis on answering all complaints along the shoreline • Respond to general complaints, MVA‟s, fire and ambulance calls • Loss of State funding then the reinstatement of the funds… • Only 50% of the collected boat registrations in our County • Increase fuel costs • Maintain our current program and expand the staffing with addition of two additional part time deputies. • Receive an additional patrol vessel from NYS later this year (at no cost to our local taxpayers) • Acquire a “used” jet ski • Ray also summarized Steuben‟s Marine Patrol stats for 2010. B. Lake Level – Bill Weber Bill is Chairman of KLOC (Keuka Lake Outlet Compact). He described the flood situation that occurred in April, em-phasizing the strong coordination our all of our neighboring lakes and waterways. Our high water was a “mere incon-venience” compared to the flooding occurring downstream. He showed several slides that displayed the lakes‟ differ-ent elevations. Bill added that they will study the Birkett Mills Gate to decide whether or not to repair or replace it.

C. KLA Survey Report – Doug DeFranco Last spring, the KLA decided to survey our members to find out their perception & knowledge of hydrofracking, to validate that the KLA has clearly communicated its position on the subject and see if there were any other important issues we should be looking at. We used a program called “Constant Contact”. We had 80% of the members e-mail addresses; 15% were invalid. We ended up with about 66% for the survey and 51% of those responded. Using the slides that are on our website, Doug detailed the results. He finished by encouraging members to make sure their e-mail addresses are current with the KLA Office.

D. Hydrofracking Report – Jim Barre Using slides, Jim explained the NYS-DEC actions to date, significant DEC statement, hydrofracking process, # of local leases, original KLA comments, KLA concern and goals and the following summary (a complete Power Point of Jim‟s presentation can be found on our website.): The KLA will:

Comment back to NYS-DEC.

NYS-DEC E. State of the Lake – Peter Landre

Peter used a set of slides to illustrate his objective of reviewing the water quality testing program and results for 2010 and to discuss watershed issues. The results are sent to NYS Certified labs that do the analysis for us. They have been doing this for 20+ years. They cover 110,000 acres in the watershed collecting monthly, sometimes twice monthly about 9 months of the year.

Points he emphasized were: nutrients were 5.5 pp billion; water clarity, as measured by the Secchi disk, is 8.1 me-ters; algae levels 1.3 ppb – well below average; phosphorus 4.6 ppb; chlorophyll 1.3 ppb. Overall, the lake is in very good shape. Enhanced testing has taken place in 2011: adding barium & Chloride testing & gas well baseline suite.

Emerging issues involving invasive species:

Water chestnut – pulling this eliminates it. The times this will take place in later July

Rock snot – didymo – not here yet

Hemlock woody adelgia (insect) – will kill 100% of the trees – call CCE for help

Emerald Ash Borer – insect – call CCE for help

Japanese knotweed – plant – Cornell is tracking it

No transporting of firewood more than 50 miles to help prevent spread of insects.

Giant Hogweed – grows 15020‟ tall; can damage skin & eyes; leaves & flowers green & red with hair-like stems – call Cornell – working with DEC to eradicate it.

DEC Hotline: 845-256-3111; Cornell Coop. Ext. – Yates: 315-536-3111

(Peter‟s slides can be found on our website)

IX. Question & Answer Time There were several questions/comments concerning: condition of Rte.54A; purchasing cold weather protective cloth-ing for the Marine Patrols; visiting Mansfield, PA to view effects of hydrofracking; sending comments to DEC. Rob concluded the meeting by requesting that members send ideas & observations to the Board and talk to their neighbors about joining the KLA.

The meeting was officially adjourned at 11:25.

In 2006, a caver photographed hibernating bats with a strange white substance on their muzzles in a hibernacula (cave where bats hibernate in winter) west of Albany and noticed several dead ones. Since then, more than a million dead bats have been found in and around caves and mines from New Hampshire to Tennessee. In some hibernacula, 90 to 100 percent were dying. Most seemed to have the unknown white substance on their bodies.

Unfortunately, despite research to find the source of this con-dition, the cause of the bat deaths remains unknown. Cave-hibernating bats seem to be ones affected, and at least eleven different species of bats in 16 states (including New York) have been identified with the disease. Affected species living on/around Keuka Lake include the big brown bat, little brown bat, eastern small-footed bat, and northern long-eared bat. An endangered bat, the Indiana bat is also affected, but there are no known hibernacula of Indiana bats around Keuka Lake. Bat numbers are way down around Keuka Lake; observers are lucky to spot one per evening flying over the lake.

Things to do to help reduce the spread of the disease:

· Stay out of caves and mines where bats are known - or suspected - to hibernate (hibernacula) in all states.

· Honor cave closures and gated caves.

· Stay out of all hibernacula when bats are hibernating (winter).

· Report unusual bat behavior to the New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-tion, including bats flying during the day in winter when they should be hibernating. Bats una-ble to fly or struggling to get off the ground would also be unusual (but they could also be rabid so do not handle such bats).

Only time will tell if researchers will come up with a cause and a cure (imagine giving shots to wild bats!), or the bats will develop resistance, or if the population crashes will continue, possibly leading to eventual extinction of one or more bat species. Fortunately, we still had the swallows and mar-

Grass “All flesh is grass,” the Good Book tells us. This has literal meaning as we learned in Bio 101: the food chain starts with grass (and other vegetation) at the bottom, which is eaten by herbivores like mice and deer in the middle, which are then eaten by carnivores (coyotes, hawks, humans) at the top. So functioning ecosys-tems, like the watershed surrounding Keuka Lake, must have grass (and other vegetation) to support a diverse plant and animal community. However, the Good Book does not say that all grass is flesh, nor does it say all grass is good. Cut to the issue of carving “view lots” out of forestland surrounding Keuka Lake, where acres of trees are replaced by acres of grass to provide homeowners magnificent and unfettered views of Keuka Lake. Although the forests surrounding Keuka Lake are populated by more than 50 species of grasses and sedges (grass-like plants), they are rarely the species of non-native grasses planted to maintain the grassy vistas for homesites above Keuka Lake. More often, non-native exotic grasses are used, and they are mowed regularly, depriving wildlife of much of the nutritional benefit provided by grasses in the woods (seeds and flowers) or cover re-quired to hide the young of wildlife from predators and/or provide the bugs eaten by forest songbirds, grouse, and turkeys. Worse, grasses planted to maintain the views are not nearly as effective in preventing water run-off in storms (their root systems are not as deep or extensive as the trees, shrubs, native grasses and wildflow-ers they replaced). Maintaining grassy cover also requires annual expenditures (exposure to the environment), on herbicides and fertilizers that can end up in Keuka Lake. Building homes on areas barren of trees and their leaves has the additional downside of eliminating the natural cooling of homes in summer. As a final negative, weekly mowing of those acres of grass puts pollutants in the air and adds to the fuel we buy from foreign coun-tries. So, in the name of ecological consciousness and responsibility, view lots with their acres of opened, grass-replaced forestland should be banned, right? Nope, not even close. There actually is a win-win solution. It‟s the grass that‟s the problem, not the view lots. Ask any student of forest ecology what forest stage is in short supply and they‟ll tell you it‟s “early succession.” This stage is created when the forest is opened by disturbance, such as windstorms and wind shear, ice storms, landslides and natural fire. It‟s characterized by a few snags, and a lush, rapidly growing green layer of grass, wildflowers, shrubs, and tree seedlings. This stage lasts 10-20 years, when it is replaced by a layer of young trees (called saplings) in the 10-30 foot height range. Early succession habitat is critically important to wildlife as a source of highly nutritious vegetation, a place for young wildlife such as fawns to hide from preda-tors, and as an additional source of food in the form of an abundant supply of bugs for all kinds of forest birds. Snags (one or two per acre) left standing after disturbance provide homesites for birds, mammals, and amphib-ians in the form of cavities in standing snags and hollow logs with sloughing bark. The openings don‟t have to be large to work – openings of less than one acre are incredibly beneficial. So, what‟s the win-win solution for homeowners who want “view lots?” If you need to cut down the trees to get your view, engage a certified forester who will actually give you some value for the trees that are cut and removed. A few snags will be left for wildlife (they can be strategically left to minimize interference with the view). There will be minimal ground disturbance or compaction, and the shrubs, native grasses, wildflowers and tree seedlings left behind will provide all those wildlife benefits, and reduce run-off into Keuka Lake. You‟ll have an unobstructed view of the lake. Once the small trees turn into saplings and begin to block your view, cut them down (and leave them on the ground: they‟ll rot and recycle nutrients), setting succession back to the shrub-grass-seedling stage and maintaining early succession habitat. If your view lot is already grassed or was agricultural land? Let it go. Native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses will seed themselves in, creating early succession habitat. When needed (in about 20 years), trim back the saplings that will develop. Then, instead of spending your weekends mowing the lower forty, put up your feet and enjoy the show – all those songbirds, turkeys, grouse, deer, foxes, and occasional bears. Harvest and eat the blackberries that will grow. And feel good about what you did.

Got cottage? KLA Member, Richard Shade Gardner

June: I feel child-like excitement as we drive down this now-familiar lake road to open the cottage. I love the cottage nicknames; Cotton Patch, We‟re Not Inn; we‟ve left the real world behind. We fall silent as we turn down the final drive to the lakefront road, then into our gravel driveway, seeing the cottage for the first time in eight months…there are no words. The neighbors aren‟t here yet, except three doors down; they stay year-round. Opening the cottage door we behold a breath of last autumn. Truthfully, it smells a lot like damp bed linens. We unpack cooking staples. The mice don‟t get in the cottage since we redid the foundation; it‟s just a habit taking the spices home each fall. I replace last year‟s kitchen calendar. Away with September! In with June! We wave to the neighbors now arriving. Even though it‟s eight months since we‟ve talked, we‟re of the same mindset: return and settle in; we‟ll chat tomorrow or the next day. I think I‟ll paint the rowboat this summer. No rush; it hardly gets used now since the kids got kayaks. Our neighbors donned wet suits and put our dock in this morning, along with nine others. We‟ll help them take all the docks back out in the fall. The water‟s warmer then but it‟s all uphill work. I don‟t believe our 94-year-old neighbor is still going to take her annual birthday swim across the lake. I‟d take her picture but, as always, she refuses. Note to self: fill in dip in driveway. Same 94-year-old neighbor says it‟s where an old outhouse once was. Must save aluminum foil, bread wrappers and grocery bags for wrapping up leftovers from all food that visitors bring and leave unfinished. Slept out on the front porch last night. This experience cannot be duplicated on film even using special effects; I could feel the fresh lake air on my face. Listened to the fish moving in the water last night. A school came through the shallow water and sounded like children playing. Others jumped for insects and landed back on the surface with a slap. July: Skipping stones: I‟m up to fifteen skips, a family record. I just learned the world record is many more; must work on technique. That sure is a big “cottage” they built across the lake on opposite shoreline last year. J and R showed up with two kids and four grandkids; tracked water all over the place. The kids love the newly painted rowboat; it was used more this weekend than all last summer. Cont. on page 21

Aunt L brings drinking water in plastic gallon jugs. I think it‟s easier just to grab six-packs of bottled water and toss them in the trunk D and K are coming this weekend; must remember to ask them to bring paper towels and toothpaste; don‟t feel like driving into town just for that. Cousin E has shrunk the lake with her kayak. Rowing across was once an event. We‟d row across, taking turns rowing, chat with our opposite neighbors, loiter, and return – all over the course of an afternoon. This morning Ellen rose, put the coffee on, hopped in her kayak, and was over and back not long after the coffee was ready. August: The ducks have acclimated themselves to our presence. When we first arrive they are afraid of us. As summer progresses they try to take over the docks and floats. As of now they own the lake. Watched the storm come across the water this afternoon, the front line perfectly defined by white water churned up from rain. We measured the width of the beach; it‟s wide for August; they must be letting water out. August is cooling down early this year. We used old penny-savers to start the woodstove fire. September: Tonight is the annual Ring of Fire. This is a big gulp; the State of Eden is coming to an end for yet another year. Closed up the cottage today; how did we ever get all this stuff down here in June? I say good-bye to the kitchen calendar. Cousin E wants to bring friends up here this winter to ice fish. Sure they can use the cottage. It will be strange to know others are here enjoying it in our absence. Do they understand the water will be turned off? January: Driving to the cottage to leave keys and instructions for locking up. The place looks so different in the off-season. I feel like I‟m stealing a glimpse of the bride before the wedding. Now I can‟t wait „til the marriage – June 1st and running water! Richard Shade Gardner is the author of Learning to Walk: Book I of the Trilogy.
