seth@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK Ñ The Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek has been a community icon for more than 10 years. Prior to hiring their first executive director in July of 2012 the center was run through the generosity of volunteers throughout the community. In recent years the center has built a strong and vital board and established TPCCA as the primary lead partner working in cooperation with participating partners, Our Town Theatre Group and Upper Hudson Musical Arts. In 2002, a group of concerned parents and citizens got together and established the Teenagers Only Program. The program offers teenagers an opportunity to participate in biweekly activities. These events range from workshops to movie nights, dances, coffeehouse and open mics, rafting trips and other opportunities for teens to maximize socialization skills. In 2013 the center launched its first ever season of events, focusing on a vast collection of exceptional music programs including classical, jazz, swing, folk, contemporary as well as drama plays and presentations for all ages. This year, officials of the center have announced an even more diverse list of events. TheyÕ ll continue to offer a mixture of exceptional music programs including classical, rock, Brazilian jazz, world, the American song book and much more. Movies, plays and a wide variety of presentations will also be offered throughout the year.
On Saturday, April 12 at noon behind Minerva Central School, It’s About Thyme Farm will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The event is free to all, and there will be thousands of eggs to find, baskets and flower door prizes, for adults as well as children. All ages are welcome. You’re never too old for fun. Don’t forget the jelly bean count and two children’s bikes will also be given away. All you have to do is come. The Easter Bunny will be there to start the hunt and pose for pictures. Spring has sprung in Minerva.

NORTH CREEK Ñ The Widlund Gallery at Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek is pleased to present recent artwork by Queensbury artist Yvonne Wild, and New York City based oil painter Robert Schultheis. The exhibit will be on view from April 26 until May 21. Meet the artists at a reception on Sunday, May 18 from 12 until 2 p.m., followed by a concert by The North Country Singers and the QMS Select Choir. Yvonne Wild has created Ò Functional Pottery.Ó In YvonneÕ s hands, functional works are also works of art. Bowls, vases, platters, pitchers and mugs are covered in expressive glaze combinations that add to the artistry of her forms. Utilizing ancient Raku and Saggar processes, WildÕ s dramatic pieces draw a connection to the natural earth. In Ò Non-Objective in New York City,Ó Robert SchultheisÕ focus is on finding ways to condense color, form and movement to express his intimate relationship with the city in a non-objective way. Details are available at www.tpcca.org. TPCC is located at 228 Main Street in North Creek. Gallery hours are 10 am Ð 4 pm, weekdays, and open most weekends from 12:30 3:30 pm.
JOHNSBURG Ñ Over February break, eight students and two teachers from Johnsburg Central School left the frigid Adirondack Mountains, and were welcomed by palm trees in sunny Key Largo, Florida. The trip acted as the finale to their semester of Marine Biology taken as an independent course at Johnsburg. Students Patrick Harrison, Anna Liebelt, EmmaLee Ellsworth, Liz Ordway, Alicia Hagadorn, Meghan Pierson, Angelina Conte, and Samantha Woodard were ac-
companied by teachers Chad Pooler and Gary Wilson on this trip. The group took three planes and a crowded van between Burlington, Vermont, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida to reach Key Largo. Once in Key Largo, the group stayed at the Marine Lab facility on Largo Sound, for five days. The facility has dorm rooms, indoor and outdoor showers, a cafeteria, classrooms on the Bay and Ocean Side, labs, a beach used with free-time, and even a volleyball court. Marine Lab also owns a fleet of Twin Vee boats, which transported the students on snorkeling field trips to the mangroves, sea grasses, and two coral reef areas.
The group took several trips out into the Atlantic to snorkel and explore. Twice a day, after breakfast and before dinner, they boarded the boats that were manned by a highlytrained and lively crew. Snorkeling gear was provided by Marine Lab, along with a basic run-down on what to expect when in the water, and the proper hand signals to use. Students were fortunate enough to swim with everything from angelfish, blue crabs, and Goliath groupers, to barracuda, sharks, and moon jellyfish. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7
