Greater Lovell Land Trust to lead Amos Mtn. hike
LOVELL — Join the Greater Lovell Land Trust for an evening presentation on hummingbirds, a guided walk up Amos Mountain this week and a daylong Natural History course in August. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird: A tiny gem of a bird will be presented at the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library on Wednesday, July 20
at 7:30 p.m. The ruby-throated hummingbird, Archilochus colubris, weighs approximately the equivalent of three pennies. Yet, this bird flies from its wintering grounds in Central and South America to the treetops in Maine’s forests where it build spider web-lined nests for the breeding season. Join Bonny Boatman for a presentation on
these and many other wonders in the life of this tiny gem of a bird. The guided active walk up Amos Mountain leaves from the Gallie Trail parking area off Route 5 in Lovell on Thursday, July 21 at 9 a.m. Explore a new GLLT property that offers a climb to a hilltop through an interesting forest crisscrossed by unique stone walls and dotted
with cellar holes. Participants should bring water and a lunch, comfortable and sturdy hiking shoes and bug repellent. Due to the increased prevalence of deer ticks in the region, lightweight long pants are also recommended. Finally, on Friday, Aug. 12, Bridie McGreavy, GLLT education director, will offer a natural history course in Lovell from 9

(Continued from Page C) and chili dogs. After completion of the tournament, participants feasted on an array of hors d’oeuvres followed by a delicious sitdown meal. Once wined and dined, it was time to start the awards ceremonies. Thanks to many local merchants, numerous surrounding golf courses and generous crafters and donors, tourney organizers had more than enough prizes to hand out. First on the agenda was the winners of the “skills games” played on Holes 1, 8, 11 and 12. They received two rounds of golf from Lake Kezar, Naples Golf & Country Club, Indian Mound, Eagle Mountain and Norway Country Club. Closest to the pin winners were Terry Holden on Hole 5 at 4-feet, 8-inches (he received two rounds of golf at Bridgton Highlands). Unfortunately, none of the ladies landed on the green, so their prize was added to the skills game lucky losers’ drawings. Megan Nyberg was the women’s winner on Hole 16 at 8-feet, 5-inches (she walked away with a new 3 Hybrid), and Mike Woodside was the men’s winner at 5-feet, 4-inches (that earned him a 60 degree lob wedge). During the festivities, a special raffle was held for five cooked lobsters, donated by the Center Lovell Market. The big winner was lobster lover Gerri Foulds. The last of the awards was the presentation of team honors. First place low net (35) for $240 went to the team of Kay and Lenny Desmarais and Sue and Alan Leck. Second place low net (39) for $120 went to Donna and Gary MacDonald and Carole and Leo Trahan. Both teams graciously donated their winnings to the fundraiser. What a contest for first place low gross. Can you believe that four teams came in with identical scores of 59? The scorekeepers had to go back four holes before the tie was broken and they could declare a winner. In the end, first place for $240 went to the team of John Chandler, Dan Lalone, Don Neidetcher and Cliff Abbott. Finishing second for $120 was Russell Knox, Dick Goss, Tim George and Jerry Labbe. The festivities concluded with the presentation of 27 silent auction items going home with the highest bidder. This year, the auction items were well worth the bids, and thanks go to the many donors and those who dug deep to outbid their competitors to raise $1,600. “While we all enjoyed a fun-filled day of golfing, the real winners will be those cancer patients that receive the benefit from the proceeds of the day,” tourney organizer Moe Foulds said. “All golfers, donors and committee members should feel good knowing in some small way we are helping the less fortunate through some difficult times.”
