Planned by Harriet Budke and Myrle Willis approximately 30 persons turned out bringing the usual delightful variety of foods which were soon consumed, while friendships were renewed and made. After furnishings were rearranged the group re-sat for business and a fine showing of slides. Business was election of a Nominating Committee to "hame candidates for '85 offices. The Committee elected were Cliff Berg, Edna Clausen, and Mary Purchase. Then the travellers took•over, showing slides which covered a wide part of the world.

Walk, Look, Learn Hike. #277 (ll/ll/84) was a loop going along Mark Smith Rd. and Gorge trails back to the starting point. A cool, good day for a hike and for exercising both lega and brains when trying to identify the trees and shrubs en route. Pads and pencils were busy and at the finish of the walk points were totaled for a winner. Laura McGuire won with only one error and is enjoying the prize, a pint of home-made maple syrup. --Leader Alec Proskine/L.McGuire The Christmas Brunch and free-lance Hike came off on schedule/Dec. 9th. It was a cheery and gay success attended by about 25 members. With the aid of the Abbotts, Cliff Berg, and Fran Lauman the Yule fire was started and tables set up for the gathering. Warmed with Christmas good will and "spirits” everyone sat down to a candle lit feast of goodies, chattering away so much that the traditional carolling was forgotten. After picking up the remains most everyone took off for a walk in the general direction of Treman Lake, each at his own pace and in sundry directions, but enjoying the snowy but mild weather. — Harriet Budke, Soc. Chn.

Gyrisco Historic Ithaca. 1984 Hidden by the bushes and brambles at the base of Ithaca Falls is an im­ portant part of Ithaca’s heritage. The crumbling remnants of walls and raceways are surviving evidence of a once thriving industrial complex. The proposed hydro­ power plant will add a new chapter to the story. In preparation for this reuse of the site, the City of Ithaca hired S.J Oberon and C.F. Perez to undertake an arehe- ologica^survey of the area. , For more than a million years, Fall Creek has cut into the siltstone and shw.e bedrock, creating a gorge. Ithaca *alls, 150 feet in both height and width, was created when the glaciers retreated about 10,000 years ago. A few scattered fluted spear points found on the ground surface Hear the southeast end of Cayuga Lake show that a nomadic hunting-gathering people, known as Paleo-Indians, at least occaiaion- all^ccupied the vicinity around 9000 BtC» Later Native Americans, occupying T>erman- ent agricultural villages, may have made seasonal fishing expeditions to the area below the falls. Industrial development of the area began in 1813 with the construction of a sawmill by Phineas Bennett. By 1817 a gristmill, a plastermill, carding room, oil mill, and chair factory had been added to create an industrial complex. In 1835 S.Southwick, in his book "Views of Ithaca and Its Environs" noted that on the south side of the falls, goods for a predominantly local market were produced annually* plaster; chairs; machined articles such as pails, tubs, and measures; carded wool; and foundry products such as mill gearings, railroad castings, and plows. During this first phase of development, water was diverted from Fall Creek above the falls and conveyed through a wooden flume mortised to the south wall of the gorge, then down a flume cut into the rock to the mill complex below. The wood flume was efficient during warm weather, but during the winter it frequently froze and split, interrupting industrial production. In 183^/Jeremial S. Beebee hired Ezra Cornell, then his employee at the gristmill, to design and direct construction of a tunnel^hrough the rock to replace the wooden flume. The tunnel-completed in 1832 extended 200 feet through the rock, 15 feet high, and 15 feet wide. It was regarded as a major engineering feat, making possible further development of the mill complex by larger industries that eventually served regional and national markets. Passage of the Public Utility Regulatory Review Act of 1978 provided a financial incentive to use the falls again as a source of power. The ^ity of Ithaca is currently applying for a permit to develop a small hydro-electric plan^ear the site of the former flour mill. Ezra Cornell's tunnel would be used once again, this time lined with concrete to keep falling rock from getting into the turbines. A penstock, or large pipe, would be buried in the still existing main raceway to carry water from the tunnel exit to the new facility. Today one can get a glimpse of the ends of Ezra Cornell's tunnel and the raceway cut in the rock by taking a path from the end of Willard Way down to the top of the gorge. Some of the mill foundations, the main raceway, and the dams and head races that fed the various mills can be explored in the park at the base of the falls. (Good walking shoes and considerable caution on the wet slippery rocks are advised.) In time a formal program will be provided.

THE LADY LIVES — Margery Corbett National Parks - May/June 1984 The has been a major tourist attraction for visitors to City since its acceptance - along with Ellis Island - into the National Park System in mid-century. Soon, Ellis Island will be open to tourists too. In 1982, the (NPS) announced plans for a massive fundraising and restoration project at both Ellis Island and the Statue. The arm that holds the^torch sags a bit, and on closer inspection her brow is pockmarked with holes from popped rivets. But her expression, the grace­ ful folds of her cloak, and her stolid stance on a tiny island in the middle of NYC's harbor still inspire millions of Americans. She is one of our most treasured national monuments and the Park System assisted by the Statue of Liberty— Ellis Island Found­ ation along with private industry and individuals needs ta raise $230 million to complete the renovation project by 1986 when she will reach her hundredth birthday. Cayuga Trails =5=. Jan-Feb 1985 FOREVER WILD - Ithaca Journal, "For the Record” 12/14/84 According to R.T.Trancik, Asst. Prof. of Landscape Architecture as Cornell •Forever Wild' makes a fine but a poor economic environment for the 125,000 people in 135 hamlets in the area. "The majority of the Adirondack communities are either too small, too poor, or too disorganized" to do much about their dilemma." Trancik headed a study group, initiated a year ago, with the objective of finding a balance between economic development and environmental preservation. Also part of that foal is to encourage investment in the settlements by people inside and outside of the Adirondack region. New York's six-million-acre Park is the largest park ini the continental U.S. and the biggest wilderness area east of the Mississippi River. The work resulted in a publication that is a descriptive survey of the 135 hamlets, and another which discusses specific planning, marketing and investment strategies for the hamlets . The study is a joint effort of Cornell and four Adiron­ dack counties. It is supported by the park agency and the NYS Council of the Arts.

The Piseco Weekend (2/I-3 ) provided spring turning to winter weather and the 12 members attending had pleasant (though sloppy) driving conditions and a change to cold for skiing and hiking. We shared the Lodge with two couples from Rochester, which added interest to the days and much kidding of them as winners of a local ski race. Their Olympic style medals and our Linda's spontaneous antics added up to FUN. That with sumptuous meals provided by the new management of Sherry and Clyde Randall made for a very satisfying week-end. Reservationshave been scheduledfor winter '86.^F Walk, Look, Learn Hike #278 - (I/I3/85). On a sunny day 23 people (10 guests) and a dog took a circle hike starting on Millard Hill Rd in the Trumbulls Corners area.

The weather was 25° »bd Avercast and over unpacked snow the going was slow, but Dave Burnett and Cliff Abbott spelled the leader in breaking trail. From the top of the hill they crossed fields and trails along the notth side of the ridge to a steep hillside overlooking Old 76 Rd and the farms below. Then there was a long glide down to the start, a total of 5 miles. — Leader Peter Harriot Publicity - Notices of the monthly WLL Hikes and Trail work session were printed in the Ithaca Journal (under "People" and in "Leisure Calendar"); in Ithaca Times' "Calendar"; in Grapevine's "Calendar"; and 0«iessey Publications including Newfield News.

Approximately 25 members attended. After the brunch, most went for an unsupervised walk in the general direction of the lake. — Harriet Budke, Chn. pro tem Trail Committee '84 - Several changes were made in the trail after landowners withdrew permissions for crossing their propertiesj 1) The geneca Lake section - 3*7 miles north of Watkins Glen the trail is temporarily re-routed, up Middle Rd to Burdett and up Satterly Hill Rd to intersect with the trail. Other routes around Burdett are being considered; 2) The trail in the Connecticut Hill section between Rumsey Hill Rd and Trumbulls Comer has been'ffcmporarily re-routed along roads, but permission has been granted for a new route west of the old one, down to the creek and to rejoin the trail; 3) Also in Connecticut Hill sector the trail from Hines Rd to Thomas Rd was shifted north mostly onto State Land (Treman Park); 4) In the Danby Section the trail now leaves Lick Brook at Dug Rd and follows roads weBt, south and east to re-join the old trail near Crane Hill. A new route is being investigated through woods and fields west of Jersey Hill. There were 3 trail clearing sessions and several members worked independently. Except for a short portion in Watkins Glen all of the FLT was checked, re-blazed, and cleared. Only part of the Cayuga Trail was covered. — Peter Harriott, Fran Lauman/ Editor's Report-8^ Newsletters came out on schedule, but mostly in bi-montfiSy* issues - a total of five plus two singles. The objective being two fold - to ease the burden on the editor and secondly to cut expenses of postage. However there are drQ-w-teacks. It is difficult when deadlines fall at or during vacations and also a problem to fit the timing to accomodate news and reservations for meetings of FLT Conferences. Perhaps these latter could be a separate mailing, though more expensive. The Mailing Ch'n changed this year and it was thought that a committee could be set up to share the job, but it seems to be easier for a single person to do all the work and Edith Dimock took over as Ch'n. Also it recently resolved on the Editor to be responsible for purchasing stamps and maintaining the membership list up to date, acting as go-between with the Membership and Mailing Ch'ns and the master of computers. Chris Haller has been providing us with mailing labels. Getting the Newsletter materials organized, edited, typed, printed and then distributed is enough for the Editor. It might be that an assistant could be helpful in sharing the work, but I've not figured how as yet* Lois Fogelsanger, Editor Annual Banquet - Jan 20, I985. In almost zero weather and gusty wind chills about -15° forty people arrived for dinner at the Farmers and Shippers Restaurant. After a noisy and crowded social hour, dinner was efficiently served and deliciously satisfying. Business followed - Secretary1s minutes of Jan. '84 banquet were voted omitted; Treasurer's report read, accounts in the black were accepted; other reports of the numerous committees to be condensed and printed in the Newsletters. Much trail re-routing is needed and the Guide Book and maps must be revised. Then the Nominating Committee. Edna Clausen Mary Purchase, and Cliff Berg, Chn. presented their slate of Officers I985* for Pres. Linda Loomis; Vice-Pres. Myrle Willis; Secv. Helen Haller; Treas. Mary Morrison. It was unanimously accepted and since there were no nominations from the floor the secretary was authorized to cast a single ballot for the slate as presented. After a few announcements there was the annual re-appearance of our two "special Oscars", which squirrels each year move into new nests, in recognition of another member who has contributed much to the well being of CTC. This year "Oscarita Brown" and little "Brownie" will be staying with Linda Loomis who graciously accepted the presidency last year with its problems and will keep it running this year; "Oscar Gray broke with tradition by moving in a second time with Lois Fogelsanger who, it has been said,"kept the wheels turning" and "supplied the glue" to hold things together.

He took us on an historical and archeological trip over and under the waters of our lakes.

NEWS ABOUT MEMBERS - To two of our members we send sincere sympathy - Marion Mack's sister Leona Mendenhall, with whom he lived,passed away earlier this winter; and within the the month Bob Martin's mother died quite unexpectedly; Katrina Martin let us know Bob's sad news and in conversation also told me that she is the busy President of the Cortland Bird Club; Speaking of presidents we know that Helen Haller is this year's President of Sigma Delta Epsilon, Alpha Chapter which was established at Cornell in 1921. It is a national organization for graduate women in the sciences. Helen has been editor of the National news and is now president of the local Chapter; And it seems the Cliff Berg is now chairman of the Central N.Y.S. Chapter of Nature Conservancy. He is serving to cover a resignation this year; The sunny south and a sister have called Flo DeRemer for a visit. She was to go in January but a miserable case of shingles put off the trip until now; It's hard to believe*but true, that Claire Tallman was not busy enough in retirement snd so returned to: her job in the High School when it was offered; But Gladys Goldsmith is very busy acting as "Grandmother" to a bunch of Trumansburg Elementary School children, teaching them folk dances and having fun. She recently moved from the DeWitt Apts, to Lakeside; And Ronda Engman is compiling a guide to easy walks in Tompkins County not on the FLT system. If you know of one call her(589-4031), So. Danby Rd.; Then there is Vivian White. She returned in Oct. from China where she had been as an invited delegate with a group organized by request of the Science and Technology Commission of the Peoples Republic of China. She has since been to England serving as a leader of the U.S. delegation to the International Standards Organization meetings (textiles)*

APPALACHIAN TRAIL CLUB - Hiker Security Guidelines In April 1984, the ATC Board of Managers accepted the report of the "Hiker Security Task Force" and adopted the findings and policies recommended by this temp­ orary committee of hikers, ATC and club officers, and law enforcement experts. While the principal finding of the Task Force "affirms that the is a safe place to hike", the group made several recommendations for improving hiker security, including preparation of educational guidelines for hikers. 1. Do not hike alone - Hiking with at least one partner reduces the potential for harassment, but limit total group size to 10 hikers or less; 2. Inform others - Always leave your trip itinerary with family and friends; 3. Dress conservatively - Choose your attire to avoid unwelcome attention.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT --Rima Farmer, Southern Trail Coordinator, ATC Early in this year's ($4) hiking season a woman tnru-hiker was assaulted on the Appalachian Trail in northern Georgia. The young woman was not seriously hurt and after a medical examination and police investigation continued her trip. As a hiker and ATC employee, I have often been asked my opinion about this. My standard answer is this: for men and women alike it is always safer to hike with at least one companion in case of injury or illness. But men are not viewed as potential victims; women are. While the Appalachian Trail is not in a foreign country, there is a great cultural diversity along its route, and there is mjich opportunity for misinterpretation of one's actions. This reality is particularly pertinent to women hiking the Trail. Wearing shorts and a skimpy top may invite little comment on the beach, but it may be highly provocative in some rural areas.... Likewise while over vast stretches of A.T. one can safely suspend her "street smarts" they should be packed as handily as a pair of socks, ready to be put on at road crossings, in small towns and urbanizing areas. I view all of this physical and psychological preparation as a means of being in control of whatever situation one chooses. Of course there is risk inkll adventures and activities. The important thing is to know the risks and make decisions based on such knowledge and the relative benefits expected from the experience. The A.T. offers a multitude of challenges. Women should be aware of the risks and arm themselves with information about how to minimize them. No one else can decide.

It was a beautiful early spring day, but because the weather was also very calm few geese were in the fields where they usually remain after feedin when the lake is rough. However, hundreds were spotted resting on the lake in long black lines which moved around from time to time. A stop was made at Long Point where Harriet Budke (in the absence of Dorothy Mcllroy, the Canada geese authority but indisposed) talked briefly tobout the birds their population and social behavior patterns. The trip ended with an hour's walk along country roads down to the lake. On the return trip deer could be seen in the fields and at least two white deer were seen. H. Budke

TRAIL TOPICS FLT News - Winter 84/85 The Queen Catharine Trail. a 9-mile loop trail sponsored by the Friends of the Queen Catharine Marsh, has just been added to our system. The trail loops south from Watkins Glen to Montour Falls. Connection to the FLT is made on the west side of Watkins Glen at 10th Street and on the east side of town near Rte. 4l4 and Cass Road. Fred Yahn of ADK/ Finger Lakes is QC Trail Chairman. The 23-mile Onondaga Trail (an FLT branch) was headlined in the Syracuse Herald-Journal's Oct. '84 issue. Twenty-two years of planning and work made it a reality. ADK/Onondaga not only sponsors this branch trail but also 43 miles of main trail that is completed and an additional 19 miles that is being laid out. Cayuga Trails April 1985 WALKING LIGHTLY - S.

CAYUGA INDIAN LANDS CLAIM REVISITED - W.P.Kinne NYS C.C. March 1985 1985 presents new opportunities regarding the so-called "Cayuga Indian Land Claim". Most important, the problems of the citizens of Cayuga and Seneca Counties are being perceived nation-wide as aspects of a serious national problem: American Indian claims to ownership of lands which are the basis of our Constitutional State and Federal sovereignties. Concerned citizens of Cayuga County and Seneca County can take encour­ agement from the general shift of public opinion away from "liberal" attitudes regarding public policy. The mood of the country is clearly against what ,is increasingly perceived as "reverse discrimination" and this change prompt action in Cayuga and Seneca Counties. As the national perception of the Indian Land Claim problem grows, so grows a national understanding that the resolution of such problems must occur within, not outside of, our judicial system. Justice may now be done to sorely burdened state and local governments in New York, South Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin and Washington, to say nothing of the remd)§3ning states formed from the old Northwest Territory, the Louisiana Purchase, and the other territories west of the Mississippi.

BOOTS and HIKING - A layer of lubrication is exactly what is wanted in a hiking boot. When the skin/sock interface is forced to be the "lubricating layer", blisters are usually the result. Even in warm weather, long distance hikers use two socks that slip over each other. Proper fitting of the boot prevents excessive movement, also. More socks are not necessarily warmer, for if the built-up layers restrict the circulation at all, the feet are deprived of their only source of heat. -Camping Journal

THE SWAMP GALLED "YYUCH" - "We started in town and headed north. Kit was at her best with a brush and paint. Dietmar is going to make stiles for this portion of the trail. And Bob reported that the owner is somewhat up-tight about our weakening his wire fences". We should all make a special effort to roll underneath instead of climbing over these fences. This is most likely the main reason why we have been losing permissions. It is certainly worth our consideration for future activities. — FLT News - '78

PROJECT 'WILD' REINSTATED NYS Conservation Council March 1985 Environmental Conservation Commissioner Henry G. Williams announced on Jan. 25 that the Dept, will proceed immediately with the implementation of Project WILD in New York State. Project WILD is a supplemental environmental education program which is designed to enhance elementary and secondary school courses such as math, English and science... the objective of the program is to develop awareness, knowledge and commitment among youth to result in informed decisions, responsible behaviour and constructive action concerning our environment. The project had been suspended because of objections of several organizations to the language in the teacher manuals which they felt promoted consumtive use of natural resources, in particular, advocating hunting and trapping as recreational activities. ENDANGERED BALD EAGLES NYS C.C. March 1985 In an action which could signal the final indignity heaped on American wildlife and the sportsman-conservation movement in this country, the 8 th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that..."Indians may kill endangered species and any other wildlife they choose on reservation lands... By a 5-3 vote, the appeals court said that the Indians have treaty rights to hunt on reservations as they please. This, the court said, "includes the right to kill endangered wildlife..." This controversial issue was tested when U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service law enforcement people arrested a number of Indians last year for killing more than 200 bald eagles in South Dakota and Nebraska. The defendents also were charged with selling part of the birds as native American arti­ facts. The Endangered Species Act prohibts killing and selling of endanger ed animals. A Federal court convicted the Indians of the killing and selling charges. Four of the Indians subsequently appealed their conviction and part of the decision was reversed. The court did rule that the Indians do not have the right to sell any part of animals, thus the lower court's conviction for selling arti­ facts will stand. The appeals court indicated in their ruling that the only way that the Indians can be stopped from killing endangered species, or other wild­ life at will, is to abrogate the treaties to that effect. Only the U.S. Congress can do that. Many native Americans are equally disturbed over the prospects of the mass killing of eages not only being condoned by the courts, but continuing in the future. When the treaties were made, those species of wildlife that are now endangered, were plentiful- especially the great eagles. Now they must be protected and managed if they are to survive. The Seneca Indian Reservation in western New York State has placed strong and sensible fish and wildlife management laws into effect on their lands, governing both Indian and non-Indian users. The rules closely follow those set by the State conservation law and Indian conservation officers enforce those laws - very strictly I So, it can be done and there is little doubt that Congress must address the Indian vs. natural resource issues - and soon. The philosophy of anti-conservation regarding Indian issues, based primarily on ancient treaties, has swept across the country to where it is now a major problem in just about every state. The Wildlife Legislative Fund of America is now addressing many of these issues and several confrontations are now taking place from coast to coast. •€ rw f>-eir«sk* ' t o

Walk, Look, Learn Hike #281 - (4/9/85)- That learning session on Orienteering brought out a collection of some 22 eager learners and hikers with compasses and maps. It sas one of those bright warm spring days and after an hour of explanations on the nature of compasses and maps,demonstrations and questions, the crowd took to the out-doors. They trekked from the Vet School across camjms and along the Cayuga Trail in the Plantations to several stopping points along the way to test their new knowledge. For most it worked and the session ended with satisfaction and a new interest. Leader: Tom Reimers/LF.

I got the idea for taking a few minutes out of the day to stretch from a hunting companion, my springer spaniel....My discovery certainly was not original. Stretching is commonplace to wild and domestic animals alike. They don't stop to think about it, they just do it instinc­ tively. This prompted me to look into the whole subject of stretching.... "A few minutes a day invested in the gradual lengthening of muscles and tendons, can pay big dividends. Just a few payoffs include: --More relaxed body and reduced muscle tension; — Increased flexibility and mobility; — and Fewer muscle strains. Stretching is a great year-round regimen for anyone who is active out-of-doors..... "Hunters and backpackers can benefit by stretching. Also canoeists, climbers, birders, swimmers, cyclists, and others can all ease the strains from strenuous or prolonged outdoor activity by regular stretching. To achieve benefits there are a few Basic Rules to follow: — Start out slowly and gently, gradually, put the muscle under tension. If it hurts, back off; — Hold the stretch 10-30 seconds; — As the muscle loosens, stretch a bit farther and hold for 10-30 seconds more; The Do Nots are equally important; — Never bounce or jerk; — Pain is the body's way of saying, 'you're over-doing'; — Don’t try to progress too fast. Daily stretching will allow the body to loosen-up gradually...... "You will be amazed how much better you feel in a couple of weeks." — NYS Conservation Council Comments

FLTConference Annual Meeting (5/4-5/85) held at the Empire State Speech and Hearing Camp outside of Spencer, NY, was catered by the Newfield Lions and Lionesses, and a great success. It started in chilly weather and ended warmly and happily. Over 100 persons attended, of which 18 were CTC-ers, assisting as well as partaking of the events. Laura McGuire is to be commended for the smoothness of the whole operation. And the Lion/Lionesses are thanked for preparing the facilities which were comfortable and the meals which were GOOD. All hikes (on FLT) went off on schedule as planned and the weather cooperated until the last. The FLTC business meeting and board meeting were handled efficiently. At the former the Wally Wood Award was presented to Ervin Markert, long-time member, past president and trail chairman, now editor of the FLTC News and very active on legislative matter* pertaining to the Conference. A slate of officers for'8 5 -'8 6 was not completed by the Board as all candidates were not available.

Learn Hike #283, a local history jaunt, came on a hot, sultry day (6/9/85). It was about- 2j miles of easy walking on a well marked trail along the south side of Six-Mile Creek above Va* Natta's Dam to the 30' dam at the far end. Much of the trail is along the old road bed of the abandoned D.L.& W. RR switch-back, originally constructed in I85I and not used since 1956. All the near-by area is now over-grown with trees and brush so wildlife was secluded. The trip ended close to Jane Brentlinger' home and the thirsty hikers were invited in for some welcomed limeade and crackers. --— Leader: Harold Donner LICK BROOK GORGE - NATURAL HISTORY GARDEN The Natural History Society of the Finger Lakes Region has announced plans to purchase land in the Lick Brook Gorge area for its proposed Natural History Gardens. Harriet Budke and Harold Donner were asked by Cayuga Trails Club to attend a June 22 informational meeting and hike of the selected site. Since 1981, the Society has been working towards establishing a facility modeled after the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum which provides ..."displays and interpretation of regional life forms and environments in the combined format of a zoo, botanical garden, museum and nature center. Executive Co-Directors of the Society and long-time members are Ronald M. Schassburger and Robert M. Beck. Schassburger designed and managed a set of displays of wild animals for the Binghamton Zoo.

I985 Trail Crew Needs Volunteers. TheFLT Trail Crew did a fantastic job on several major projects on the trail last year and the program will be run again this fall (Oct, 12-13). The basic idea is to supplement the work of the regular Trail Sponsors, helping them do work they cannot get done themselves. The overall objective is to hasten the completion of a first-class trail. Last yeacr projects included building steps on several gully crossings, "paving" a quarter mile of wet trail with flat stones and installing water bars, and also disssembling and rebuilding a 37foot bridge near Watkins Glen. This year's activity has been set for the week-end (10/12-13)# with work beginning at 9*00 Saturday and continuing through Sunday to 4:00PM. In order to minimize travel time the trail will be divided into east, central, and west sections. Volunteers will be asked to sign up for work in the area nearest to them (see sign-up over-— ). The crews will work with a knowledgeable supervisor who will in turn work closely with the Trail Sponsor of the section. Work is undertaken only at the request of the Sponsor. All expenses will be borne by the volunteers except for a special Saturday evening meal for which the Board of Managers FLTC has voted funds. Volunteers need not be FLT members. Anyone who can billet a worker,provide campsite, or suggest where reasonable accommodations can be found, should contact a member of the Committee. — Ron Skvik (716-377-1812) Severe Damage reported on some sections of the Trail, in particular some on Connecticut Hill and the Interlokken Trail (spur). It must be remembered that on State (or Federal) lands we can make no restrictions. Those lands are under control of those authorities, and for public recreation. On private lands the owner may make restrictions. But it is, possible to post signs indicating that the trail is for hikers. FLTC has such signs which can be obtained from them.

TC-3 Section of the Trail is the first to officially become a part of the . Official sponsor approval from FLTConference is first needed and must be applied for. And Outhouses must have the approval of the Regional Forester before being placed on State land. Also lean-tos. Land-owner permissions are also needed. Membership in FLTC for individuals is available and encouraged. Annual dues are payable April 1st each year and are as follows — Class III Adult $8,-Spouse $1, Student (full time) $3, Contributing member $25# Life Member $125.

Nuts to Hungry Hikers - Oetober is the time to go on outings to collect nuts. All across the US wild and domesticated nut trees will be dropping their fruit which are protein and oil-rich. Many require little, if any, processing before they can be eaten, though some such as acorns and walnuts necessitate a tedious process before they can be consumed. The hickory tree is found primarily in the east and south of US. The nuts are relatively small but all kinds can be eaten though some don't taste good. Acorns are the single nut that can be found in any part of the country. They are edible from any oak tree but most are quite bitter when raw. However the bitter tannin^an be removed by soaking the shelled acorns overnight or longer as the Indians used to do.

Learn Hike #284 - 7/7/85: It was partly cloudy and a slight breeze moving when 9 members and 1 guest collected for a leisurely hike. They went up hill on Heisey Rd. in the township of Danby, stopping often to look at and identify numerous interesting plants along the way. Where the road meets the F L Trail, they turned onto it proceeding along an old roadway crossing Durfee Hill and paralleling Rte. 96B. Along the trail there were raspberries to sample and interesting fungi to inspect. The walk proceeded past an area which had been lumbered, a private “retirement cabin" and along the F L Trail down Durfee Hill Rd. to the starting point. -- Ronda Engmanf Leader

Walk. Look. Learn Hike #285 -8/85. It was a hot, beautiful day when we left Ithaca for the Carter Creek Rd passing the State Caretakers house. ollowing a nice shady drive on the county gravel roads we started the hike on the FLTrai]/on an abandoned road. It was a nice walk excepting for the mud puddles aggravated by motor bikes and 3-wheelers. We looked at a possible bivouac area and a spring, crossed Todd R. and hiked down a beautiful gorge with very little water but some interesting rocks and plants. Climbing out of the gorge into the sun we reached the site of an old cemetery with a very unique fence. Leaving the state land on Connecticut Hill the 10 hikers stopped at 1 Boylan Rd (Laura’s) for a cool drink of lemonade and some brownies. — Leaders: Laura McGuire/Cornelia Marks

Cruising Cayuga Lake: The day, August 3, was certainly the perfect one for a boat trip. Warm sun, clear skies and quiet waters greeted the 39 members and guests who gathered at dockside for a float over Cayuga's blue waters. The lake launch Corinne had been readied, tables set, the galley stocked and the bar opened when, "all aboard" was called. Settling at tables in small groups, the passengers relaxed and chatter rose and fell as the captain pointed out a number of sights along shore. The captain's commentary, as advertised, was at some disadvantage as a number of the passengers were knowledgeable "locals" and familiar with some of the sites. Shoreline features as seen from the water were interesting and drew comments from sundry quarters as the crew served a substantial lunch "from the sea". The trip went down the Inlet and into the lake along the east side to the salt company, across the lake and returned along the west shore. It was perfectly timed to arrive back at dockside within two hours, according to plan. But, everyone was so relaxed that it would have been easy to stay aboard the rest of the afternoon. — -Lois Fogelsanger

Well. Well. Well ; At last, that hole which c M m & d a skunk (or?) and offered only putrid water is filled in. Good as his word, Cliff Berg took the matter in hand, tackled the Enfield highwaymen, and they did the job for us. A couple of men, a tractor, a load of gravel and a slow schedule all came together and the deed is DONE! Cliff couldn't believe his plan had worked until he saw it, then he made a quick trip to deliver some appreciative six-packs to the collaborators. Final tidying-up was accomplished by the threesome.

LICK BROOK and THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY At the request of our Executive Board Harold Donner represented CTC at a special luncheon meeting and presentation of The Natural History Society's plan for developing a Center here. Their plans a6 reported by Harold are both ambitious and interesting. They have an agreement with Mr/Mrs Gravelding to purchase 96 acres along the south side of Lick Brook. The Graveldings will retain their home and some land for life and will accept a mortgage, while the Society proceeds with develop­ ment plans. It is hoped that this arrangement will be consummated in January '86. According to plans, - as presented at the meeting,Lick Brook will remain unspoiled, as well as the FLTrail which runs along the north side of the gorge. Development of the acreage would include1 a Center for exhibits and educational information; nature trails; Indian culture; research and reforestation plots; meadow, pond, and woodland ecologies;and earth science exhibits. All this being a combination of zoo, botanical garden, museum, and nature on a 'living' natural site. The hope is to emphasize a recreational and cultural interpretation of relationships among the native fauna, flora, and geological features of the Finger Lakes Region in particular. The Society, as an educational organization, feels that the Center should be accessible to many people and provide educational information not available by individual observation. But it is not unaware of the danger to the environment by attracting scores to an area relatively untouched heretofore. The Ithaca Planning Board has shown interest in assisting the venture, development of which will be worth watching. The Town of Ithaca Planning Board also has had in mind future development of a small park along both sides of Lick Brook, as well as others along the Inlet and on West Hill. (ith.

Falling to act properly can lead to infection, ugly scars or worse. First: control bleeding. Usually direct pressure with a sterile dressing will do nicely; maintain the pressure for three to five minutes or until clotted. After removing the compress, prepare the intact skin around the would with either "Betadine Surgical Scrub" or "Hibiclens". DO NOT get the antiseptic into the wound. It will destroy tissue, delay healing and increase the risk of infection. There is a saying that's helpful to remember, 'Do not put anything into a wound that you wouldn't put into your eye'. It is essentia^to avoid, as much as possible, breathing and sneezing into wou»ds. Probing wounds with dirty fingers is another invitation to infection. Second: irrigate the wouid. Under ideal conditions you would use a weak salt solution. But in the field, the pressurized stream of clear water from a squeeze bottle or canteen will wash soil and foreign matter from the woihd. Flush it out well. Some cuts, especially those with straight edges that are not under tension, can be repaired with "Steri Strips J,’ or similar tape. The trick to taping a wound is to clean the intact skin by first wiping it with alcohol and letting it dry. When taping, join the wound with sterik dressing. Keep bandaged for two to three days. Cuts that are heavily contaminated with soil, saliva, or feces as well as gunshot wounds, should be packed open with sterile gauze and topped with a sterile dressing after irrigation. Applying a splint, elevating the wound above the heart and taking antibiotics are necessary for wounds other than small or other­ wise minor injuries. After taking these steps track down a doctor. -— NYS Conservation Council Comments, 5/85*

WATER SLIDE IN HAVANA GJLBN. MONTOUR FALLS PUT ON HOLD (Condensed from Ithaca Journal 9/1? & 10/25/85) The town board of Montour *’alls has indefinitely put a "hold" on the proposed Seneca Hydrotube recreational waterslide in the Havana Glen Park because of concern about the town's liability insurance. While the board has been enthusiastic about the project, it is, however, opposed by a group of citizens who feel the park should remain as it is. Before the project can proceed, approvals must be granted by the town board, DEC and the county's watershed inspector--- none have been granted yet. Havana Glen, located on the east side of Rte 14 is a gorge and parkland owned by the town. Seneca Hydrotube proposed development on the northern bank of the park would contain 3 major waterslides and add a parking lot and dressing-room facility. Developer Gregory Bell of Albany wants the waterslide in the park in June 1986. Cayuga Trails______~3~______Nov.-Dec.

October— from The Executive Board IO/8/85 8 present at Edna Clausen's /LF The meeting opened with a visitor from the Carey McKinney Insurance Co., Mr. William Madder. He explained to us some of the ramifications of liability and the coverages of homCowners insurance.He then stated that since CTC is not a business activity for gain, but a non-profit organization, and that he had been in touch with another company, on a similar subject (ADK), he felt that we should not worry. But he stated that we should take care to maintain the Trail in good condition, avoid having danger spots, and that all reasonable care should be taken to avoid problems. Also we could avoid problems by posting "at your own risk" signs. His final note was that "negligence" is the key to proof of responsibility for liability. /LF. After expressing appreciation for his time, the meeting— : 1. Minutes read and accepted. Treasurer reported that FLTC insurance deposit has not been received; that one CD had been renewed for six months, one in July for a year, and another is due in Dec.

On a hot, humid, sunny day, 8 club members followed the FLT from Heisy Rd. (cff 96B) to the top of Eastman Hill. The climb was quite steep to the top of the hill where two old foundations with wells were discovered. A tower behind the Zimmerman house offered a great view. Co-leaders: Myrle Willis/Ruth Schwartz

Walk. Look. Learn Hike #287 - 10/3^/85: Fairfield State Forest. Tioga County: Partly cloudy and cool weather made for a comfortable circle hike of about 4 miles on lumber roads in the State lt>rest. The 15 members and 2 guests found walking easy with only a bit of gentle up-hill grade. After the hike, most people caravaned to the B. Huth residence several miles away for a picnic which included apple pie made by Bob Martin and "somemores" by the Hallers. Those who couldn't or didn't share the picnic missed a beautiful spot by the Huth lakeside complete with ducks and geese. Co-leaders: Frances Lauman/Robert Martin

Fall Weekend - 10/4 - 6/85: Susquehannock Lodge. Pennsylvania Ten people enjoyed the fall weekend at Susquehannock. The fall color of the leaves seemed to be at its peak and the drive between the lodge and Coudersport was spectacular as well as the view from Losey Lookout. Though there was rain both nights, it cleared enough in the morn­ ings to make hiking pleasant with a fox being seen on the Sat. a.m. hike. We were grateful to Peter Harriott for bringing his guitar and song sheets thus enabling us to have an evening song fest with other guests at the lodge who joined in. Some guests from Buffalo, whom we had met last year, brought a Trivia game which we all played as teams. C.T.C. won in a very close contest. It was a fun evening. / Flo DeRemer

LLAMAS (Lama glama) Native to South America, Llamas are one of the oldest domesticated animals in the world. Carrying everything from trade goods to military supplies they were an indispensable part of the Inca culture (1200-1532 AD). Even today in parts of South America llamas are used in much the same way, as well as providing meat and wool. A member of the family Camelidae, toot more specifically they belong to the genus Lama, along with the alpaca, guanaco, and vicuna. Of these four species the vicuna and guanaco are wild but the alpaca and llama are domesticated. Currently in the U.S. llamas are experiencing an incredible upsurge in popu­ larity, in part because of their tremendous value as a pack animal. Llamas are smaller, more efficient feeders and are more easily trained than a mule, burro, or horse. With their padded foot similar to a dog's pad, they have an extremely low impact on fragile wilderness areas. Although not a riding animal, a llama can easily carry its own food and everything the average packer needs for a trip. In addition to their value as a pack animal, llamas produce soft, beautiful and unusual wool and make wonderful pets. They require no elaborate housing, feeding, or health eare and can be kept on less than an acre of land, and are a wonderful companion on the trail and at home. Cayuga Trails -6- Eov-Dec 1965 CAR-DEER COLLISIONS TAKE HEAVY TOLL NYS C.C. August 1985

Car-deer collisions continue to take a heavy toll on NY state high­ ways. There were 6,857 deer killed by motor vehicles and claimed by drivers in 1984 (a decrease of about 400 from the 1983 figure). The number is a minimum figure because it does not include deer that have been hit and not recovered or those deer not wanted by the driver. The actual number of deer killed on the highway is considerably more than cases reported. The statistics show that most car-deer collisions occur during the month of November, followed by December and then October. This is the time of year when deer are more apt to be travelling widely as they search for mates. State law does not provide for reimbursement to a motorist for damage done to a vehicle as a result of collision with a deer, however, owners or persons they designate can utilize the deer which has been killed. Motorists should consult their insurance agent to determine whether damage to their vehicle, which can be substantial, is covered by insurance. To reduce chances of a car-deer collision, drivers should be alert to highway signs specifically warning of deer crossing, slow down and be prepared to stop in the event that a deer panics and jumps across the highway. At night, reflection of headlights in the deer's eyes is usually the first warning that a deer is up ahead. If a deer is seen running across the highway, another deer will often be following close behind. /C.K.

THE REAL APPALACHIAN TRAIL HEROES KEEP TRAILS CLEAR (Condensed from a column by Bill Cochran, Roanoke, Va., Times-News,6/21/85 Reprinted in Appalachian Trail News, 9/10/85) A weekend trek on the Appalachian Trail leads to a log shelter deep in the Jefferson National Forest, where two hikers pause to escape the morning rain. One is headed north, the other south. They are end-to- enders. An elite clan that will walk every one of the Trail's more than 2,000 miles, from Georgia to Maine, a journey of 5 million steps. The accomplishment sets them apart. It makes them heroes of the famed A.T. The trench soldiers of the A.T. are the ones who help build it and maintain it. They carry the picks and shovels and white marking paint and saws for blowdowns and trimmers for brush. They keep the Trail in shape— in shape for the end-to-ender. Seldom do they draw a crowd, even when they solicit one. They wonder if it should be that way, expecially in the eyes of fellow Appalachian Trail Conference members. Maintenance needs to be taken out of the closet. "Why is the greater dream to walk 2,000 miles rather than to maintain the perfect 5-mile section?" 14 Long-distance backpackers get greater recognition within the Trail community than do Trail maintainers!' These are two comments by John Schoen of the New York/New Jersey Trail Conference. Work sessions have become increasingly important since 1968, when Congress designated the A.T. a National Scenic Trail, an act that began to give it a permanent right-of-way. Some major Trail relocations are being carried out and at least 10 people for each work hike are needed. Charles Parry, trail supervisor of the Roanoke A.T. Club, says " Although backpacking is fun, I believe the rewards of Trail work are much greater and more long-lasting." -— submitted by Doris Abbott/cM Cayuga Trails______"7-______Nov, - Dec. 1985 OUR PISECO TRADITION - A Weekead (1/31/8 5 -2/ 2/86) at the Irondequoit Club Inn on jPiseco Lake in the Adirondack Mts.
