News Briefs 

The Omentum Project: Zoom 

Event and Study 

The Omentum Project aims to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors living 

without an omentum through awareness, education and informal research. The 

omentum is an organ in the abdominal cavity which is part of the immune system 

and lymphatic system. It is standard protocol to remove the omentum in certain 

cancer staging surgeries such as ovarian cancer and survival rates are higher when 

the organ is removed. However, there are some long-term ramifications for women 

living without it. 

The Omentum Project is conducting a study to determine if there’s a difference 

in symptoms after consuming a salty food. Participation in the study involves a 

one-time, three-hour home experiment eating a specific salty food and reporting 

on specific measures before and after. Join the online event on Zoom on Sunday, 

Sept. 17 from 2-5:15pm. Registration: theomentumproject.org. Participation is confidential 

and unknown to other participants. 

This is an Institutional Review Board approved research study. For questions 

related to the IRB review, contact Emily Spinner, IRB administrator at Ellis Hospital. 

For questions, contact Meg Wilkinson: theomentumproject@gmail.com. 

Saratoga Field Day 


Saratoga Field Day is set for Saturday, Sept. 23 at Pitney Meadows Community Farm 

in Saratoga Springs. The event is filled with four great events, all to benefit Building 

on Love. A morning yoga session presented by Yoga Mandali will take place inside 

the High Tunnel at 8:30am. This is a pay what you can event, with a suggested donation 

of $25. 

Upstate NY Cornhole will host the Cornhole Tourney, with divisions for all 

skill levels as well as a family division. Registration is by team and includes at least 

four games, T-shirt, snacks, refreshments, and a post event party at Harvey’s Bar & 

Restaurant in Saratoga Springs. 

The main event, Saratoga Field Day Games is a throwback to grade school but for 

all ages! Classic events include relay races and tug-of-war, games to challenge your 

mind, and other activities, plus axe throwing. Teams of 4-8 compete to earn points 

in each event as they compete for the Field Day Championship. Games end with an 

awards ceremony and post-game bonfires and s’mores! Registration is by team and 

includes t-shirts, snacks, refreshments, and post event fun. Food vendors include 

Artisanal Brew Works, Dizzy Chicken and Ben & Jerry’s. 

The day closes with the I Run For _____ Twilight 5K presented by FC4 Inc, the 

Firecracker 4 folks. All levels are welcome to run/walk on the Pitney Meadows 

Community Farm trails. Participants are encouraged to honor someone special 

that they are running or walking for. There will be music and post event bonfires and 

s’mores. Registration is $30 for adults and $20 for kids and includes a T-shirt and the 

post event fun. Register: saratogafieldday.com. 

Capital Region Aquatic Center 

picks ViaPort Mall 

The Capital Region Aquatic Center is constructing a swimming, training and diving 

complex at the ViaPort Mall in Rotterdam, next to the former Kmart. Backers of the 

center have signed a letter of intent to lease more than 80,000 square feet at the 

ViaPort Rotterdam Mall as the future home of a $36 million swimming and diving 

complex that is projected to attract thousands of swimmers and inject more than 

$9 million into the local economy annually. 

The nonprofit organization has signed a non-binding letter of intent to lease 

ViaPort property for 10 years with options for up to 20 additional years. Once a 

contract is finalized, it is expected to include an option to purchase the property. 

The aquatic center group has been fundraising and searching for a location in the 

Capital Region for a decade. 

The ViaPort location makes a lot of sense because it already is equipped with 

utilities, curb cuts and 2,000 parking spaces right off Interstate 890, creating easy 

access for local, regional and national visitors. 

The plans are to build a complex with three pools, including an Olympic-sized 

50-meter pool and diving platform. The center will be designed to host large competitions 

in addition to offering swimming, training and physical therapy programs 

for children, adults, veterans and people with special needs. The project is modeled 

after the Greensboro Aquatic Center built 12 years ago in Greensboro, N.C. 

DEC’s Forest Preserve 

Work Plan Policy 

NYS DEC announced the finalization of the Commissioner Policy 78, the Forest 

Preserve Work Plan Policy. This will serve as a guide for newly proposed projects 

and the evaluation of their site-specific impacts to the environment and character 

of the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves. 

“The Adirondacks and Catskills continue to experience significant numbers of 

visitors and this new policy, finalized with input from New Yorkers, stakeholders, 

and other partners, will provide DEC with the proper guidance when evaluating 

potential projects and any environmental impacts to the Forest Preserve,” says 

Commissioner Basil Seggos. 

The policy establishes procedures for assessing the impacts of construction and 

maintenance activities on the Forest Preserve and for drafting site-specific work 

plans. With the adoption of this new policy, DEC’s previous Forest Preserve tree-cutting 

policy, Cutting, Removal or Destruction of Trees and Endangered, Threatened 

or Rare Plants on Forest Preserve Lands, is officially being rescinded. The new policy 

formalizes DEC’s assessment of construction and maintenance activities beyond 

just the identification of vegetation impacts to include a more holistic analysis of 

all potential impacts to the Forest Preserve, with an emphasis on identifying ways 

to avoid, minimize and mitigate such impacts. Protected by the NYS Constitution 

as “forever wild,” the Forest Preserve comprises state lands in the Adirondack and 

Catskill parks. Providing a welcoming and accessible experience while preserving 

the wild setting of the Forest Preserve continues to be a priority for DEC, and CP-78 

will allow staff to design and evaluate projects to meet these important objectives.

■ THE VIEW NORTH FROM 

BUCK MOUNTAIN’S SUMMIT. 

Mountain 

Overlooking Lake George 

By Rich Macha 

■ STARTING OUT ON A 

SPRING HIKE UP BUCK 

MOUNTAIN FROM HOGTOWN. 

PHOTOS BY RICH MACHA 

The 2,334-foot summit of Buck 

Mountain is one of the most popular 

hiking destinations in the 

southeastern Adirondacks. On a clear day, 

hikers can see the High Peaks 40 miles 

away, as well as many other Adirondack 

peaks, both low and lofty, that may be 

familiar to hikers. 

The mountain can be hiked via a 

shorter and less demanding trail from 

the northeast or a longer more challenging 

trail from the southwest. 

From the Southwest – The 3.3-mile 

trail from Pilot Knob is the most-traveled 

route up the mountain despite 

being the longer option. The trailhead 

is located on Pilot Knob Road (County 

Route 38), 3.4 miles north of NY Route 

9L – the large parking area on the right 

side of the road can accommodate 50 

vehicles. Attesting to the popularity 

of the area, at mid-afternoon on the 

Sunday of Labor Day weekend three 

years ago, I counted 50 cars in the parking 

lot and over 60 more parked alongside 

the road! To avoid crowds, it is best 

to visit on weekdays or, at least, get an 

early start on nice weekends. 

The trail starts out relatively flat on an 

old woods road where some mud may be 

encountered, then at 0.2 miles, bears left at 

a junction. The climb is gentle at first and 

Butternut Brook is crossed by hopping 

across on some rocks. Your route makes a 

left turn at the 1.2-mile mark (the sign says 

you have 1.8 miles to go but it may be more) 

– the trail straight ahead leads to Inman 

Pond and the Lower Hogtown trailhead. 

The trail up the mountain remains wide. It 

is smooth at times and full of loose rocks 

at other times. A couple of small waterfalls 

can be seen to the left. The climbing 

becomes a bit steeper for a while and then 

a lot steeper after the 2.2-mile mark. 

At three miles, the trail emerges out 

onto a large open rock outcrop with wonderful 

views of the southern end of Lake 

George and of Crossett Pond – the latter is 

on private land so it is a bonus to be able 

to admire it from above. Blueberries can be 

found here and around the summit area in 

mid-summer. This is an excellent spot for a 

rest before making the final push to the top. 

The junction with the trail from 

Hogtown is reached in a rocky area a little

HIKING continued from 7 

before the summit – bear left here. You will have gained 

2,000 feet from the start of the hike. From areas of open 

rock at the summit the views are primarily to the south, 

west, and north. Lake George stretches out below and, to 

the west, undeveloped Dome Island contrasts with Green 

Island’s development where The Sagamore Resort stands 

out from its surroundings. Motorboats look like tiny bugs 

scooting across the water. 

You could spend some time trying to name all the 

mountains in sight, near and far, many that are familiar 

to those who hike regularly in the Adirondacks – Gore, 

Crane, Snowy, Blue, Pharaoh – to name only a few. On a 

clear day, Mount Marcy and other High Peaks can be seen 

in the distance. East of the summit, the Champlain Valley 

and the Green Mountains can be seen from a small area 

of open rock. 

From the Northeast – The 2.3-mile trail from Hogtown 

is a less-traveled route up the mountain and has an ascent 

of only 1,130 feet. To get to the trailhead from NY Route 

149, drive about 10 miles on Buttermilk Falls, Sly Pond, 

and Shelving Rock roads. There are small parking areas 

on both sides of Shelving Rock Road. 

The trail heads south and soon it passes a campsite. 

Several brooks are crossed and the trail gets steeper the 

further you go. Huge boulders are passed at the 1.7-mile 

mark, then the route crosses a brook twice in a small 

gorge, before reaching the junction with the trail from 

Pilot Knob. Bear right to the summit. 

Fall foliage colors in the area should be good in 

early- to mid-October, but the views are impressive at 

any time of year. 

Be Prepared – As we move into late summer and 

fall, hikers have less daylight to work with. Always carry 

a headlamp or flashlight and spare batteries, just in case 

of a delay. Start out with food, high-energy snacks, and at 

least a quart of water. Bring a zip bag for your trash (food 

wrappers, fruit peels, tissues, etc. – used toilet paper can 

be carried out or buried six inches in the ground at least 

150 feet from the trail and covered up). 

Bring a paper map, like the National Geographic #743: 

Lake George/Great Sacandaga map, and compass – and 

know how to use them. Phone apps should be used only 

as a backup; I keep my phone on “airplane mode” to save 

power. You should have extra non-cotton clothing in your 

pack – it gets colder the higher you go and can get quite 

chilly at the summit whenever the wind is blowing. 

A pocket knife, a basic first-aid kit, fire-starting equipment, 

and some repair materials (such as some duct tape) 

are always in my “essentials” kit. 

Groups should stay together and should pace their 

hike to the slowest person – stop at every intersection to 

make sure everyone is accounted for. Each hiker should 

carry a whistle. Most experienced hikers use trekking 

poles to minimize the stress on their knees, especially on 

the descent. Poles also make it easier to cross streams and 

to help maneuver around rough and rocky areas. 

More detailed advice can be found on the NYSDEC 

website: dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28708.html

By Josh Clevenstine 

Whether you’ve been pedaling in 

the woods for decades, months, or 

just started riding, there has never been 

a better time to be a mountain biker in 

upstate New York. There is quality riding 

for ALL levels everywhere. I live across 

the street from Round Lake and whether 

I want to drive to the trailhead to be 

five minutes, three hours, or anything 

in between, a wealth of riding options is 

waiting for me. 

Twenty minutes north lies my personal 

go to, Daniels Road State Forest. 

The 523-acre area features designated 

mountain bike trails under the volunteer 

stewardship of Saratoga Mountain Bike 

Association. Daniels Road info: dec.ny.gov/ 

lands/104708.html. 

Under the leadership of president Art 

Picard, SMBA has added over five miles 

of sanctioned trail to Daniels as well as 

addressed problematic spots with some 

quality stone work. Art leads by example 

and the club has seen tremendous turnouts 

on trailwork days and outstanding 

snow tracking efforts for winter fat biking, 

which I’ve been involved with for two 

years. SMBA continues to grow and attract 

new riders and group members: saratogamtb.org. 

A few minutes north of Daniels on US 

Route 9 lies a plot of land that was once 

a graphite mine, a driving range, and is 

COMING SOON as a beauty of new intermediate 

flow network, Graphite Range 

Community Forest in Wilton – on trails 

built by Steve and Sylvia Ovitt’s Wilderness 

Property Management. It’s a multiuse, 

community-managed forest which will 

be owned by Saratoga County. Stretching 

across 200 acres, this will be a recreational 

hub for the surrounding communities and 

a space for environmental education and 

economic opportunity – all while helping 

to protect the ecological value and resilience 

in an area vital for regional natural 

resource connectivity. 

I got a chance to ask Ethan Winter, the 

current land owner with the drive to make 

this network happen, for his thoughts on 

the project so far. “As this project has developed, 

we focused on the concept of communities 

building trails and trails building 

communities. This project has been such 

a fun experience for my family and me 

because every time we take people out on 

the land, we make new friends. I tell people, 

it’s a community forest, and it’s also a 

friend factory. This project has been a way to 

engage the community in trail building and 

hopefully create a model for the Adirondack 

foothills, Saratoga and the Capital Region.” 

More info: saratogaplan.org. 

Just west of Graphite lies another 

network featuring Wilderness Property 

Management’s signature flow trails, 

Tupelo Community Forest in Greenfield 

Center. Tupelo opened briefly in 2022 but 

is temporarily closed while they secure a 

permit from the Town of Greenfield. Part 

of growing a mountain biking region is 

learning how to work well with local entities 

and this has been a learning experience 

for all, as the mission of Saratoga 

PLAN continues to move toward the goal 

of linking Daniels Road State Forest to 

Moreau State Park. 

“The team behind Tupelo is actively 

in the process of getting the permit.” says 

Will Aldrich, the current land owner of 

Tupelo Community Forest – which will be 

owned by Saratoga County, “Tupelo is a 

much mellower ride than Daniels Road 

and will be a great way for kids and families 

to get started on adventures in the 

woods on bikes.” 

It’s a 145-acre forest with three miles of 

narrow trails created to provide a welcoming 

forest recreation experience to be fun 

for beginner and intermediate mountain 

bikers, as well as hikers, cross-country 

skiers and snowshoers. It also has access 

to a grove of 800-year-old tupelo trees in 

adjacent Lincoln Mountain State Forest.

150 acres with 13 miles of trails for yearround 

enjoyment; seven miles of singletrack 

and six miles of doubletrack. Last 

year, work was completed on Rush Pond 

after nearly ten years of work. The intermediate 

flow trails offer crafted bridges 

and views of the pond wetlands in the 

woods between Queensbury Schools and 

Gurney Lane. 

I remember when Gurney itself flowed 

like Rush Pond. Now I hear riders refer to 

Gurney as ‘North Gurney’ and say how it’s 

‘way more rugged’ than Rush Pond. The 

reality is, they’re not wrong as years of use 

have made it more challenging. Riders 

looking for a bridge between the relentless 

tech of Daniels or Moreau, and the intermediate 

flow of Rush, Graphite or Tupelo 

can now find it on many of the trails at 

“North” Gurney – this natural aging process 

has been so cool to watch. 

This article gave me an excuse to talk 

to one of the stewards at Gurney/Rush, my 

pal and fellow winter rider, Scott Wheeler. 

“Nearly a decade ago Gurney Lane was 

just getting its feet wet with new construction 

of a few miles of singletrack,” recalls 

Scott, “…Queensbury Parks & Recreation’s 

continued investment into mountain 

biking has paid dividends, with nearly 

20 miles of singletrack spanning Gurney 

Lane and Rush Pond. We aren’t done 

growing either! Rick’s Bike Shop recently 

opened their ‘Outpost’ this summer at 

Gurney, providing the area’s first on-trail 

mountain bike rentals, service, and retail 

shop. Future trails are planned to be built

by Wilderness Property Management and 

additional investments are being made by 

the town, local businesses, and community 

leaders – we are extremely fortunate 

to live in an area where mountain biking 

is thriving!” More info: recreation.queensbury.net. 

Staying on I-87 and crossing into North 

Warren County, we’re under the volunteer 

stewardship of Upper Hudson Trails 

Alliance: upperhudsontrails.org. UHTA 

came under new leadership last year with 

Drew Cappabianca, owner of The Hub 

and Brant Lake Bike Park (Bartonville 

Mountain) in Brant Lake, and they’ve 

been on an absolute tear since. 

“We’ve been busy writing grants, 

building trails, and building UHTA to be 

the primary trail organization for Warren 

County,” Drew said. “We’ve been building 

beginner and intermediate flow terrain at 

Dynamite Hill in Chestertown. We hope 

to have a two-mile loop completed by 

snowfall, with a total of 4-5 miles in the 

coming years. We purchased a powered 

wheelbarrow to help move material on 

this project and others. In North Creek, 

we’ve secured funding to hire professional 

trail builders to make mountain 

bike specific trail improvements to the 

Rabbit Pond Trail, which will effectively 

extend the top of the Long Trail at the 

North Creek Ski Bowl into a 6-7-mile loop 

through the Vanderwhacker Wild Forest. 

We’re currently working with the DEC to 

finalize this plan, and hope to have it completed 

by snowfall.” 

If UHTA gets the green light, they will 

build it. I can’t wait to see the Long Trail 

become a loop. The other networks they

take care of have also seen noticeable 

steady maintenance and improvement 

under their guidance. More info: upperhudsontrails.org. 

About an hour west of our immediate 

region sits an explosion on the scene 

that is now wrapping up its third year, 

Wheelerville Trails. The network is made 

possible through collaboration with the 

Adirondack Foothills Trails Alliance and 

the Town of Caroga. It’s the brainchild of 

trail steward, Jeremy Manning, and trail 

builders Eli Glesmann and Justin Vesp. 

Reflecting on how Wheelerville went 

from nothing to a destination riding location 

in less than three seasons, Jeremy 

said, “Wheelerville started out as an idea 

that was hatched at a town board meeting 

back in 2016. The Town of Caroga was trying 

to decide what to do with a 118-acre 

parcel of land it has owned since the early 

1960s. We applied for and received some 

DEC funding for a feasibility study, and 

received another DEC grant in 2019 which 

we used to start construction.” 

Jeremy and his crew knew our region 

was lacking high speed gravity trails loaded 

with big jumps, drops and berms. 

Wanting his trails to be fast, aggressive 

and gravity oriented he looked northwest 

to the trails in Old Forge where he connected 

with trail builders Eli Glesmann 

and Justin Vesp. 

“We partnered with AFTA and hired 

many of the builders from Old Forge. At 

this point,” Jeremy continued, “we have 

about nine miles of trails which are mostly 

downhill focused. Honestly, I really can’t 

believe how successful it’s been and the 

support we’ve received from the moun- 


tain bike community. The next phase we 

are looking to complete is the connection 

of Wheelerville to the downtown area of 

Caroga, and the addition of more beginner 

and intermediate terrain. We have 

plans for about 7-10 more miles of trails 

over the next three years.” 

This past summer saw Eli Glesmann 

and his crew back at Wheelerville beginning 

to cut the miles Jeremy mentioned 

above. Eli’s trails have an aggressive feel 

that rewards the bold. The faster you ride 

and the bigger you jump, the more the 

trails make sense. Getting to know a little 

more about Eli, he shared some of his 

story and what he loves about building in 

2023 in the Adirondacks. “I always try to 

incorporate the natural features the land 

has to offer,” said Eli, “which is a big part of 

the reason Old Forge and Wheelerville are 

so appealing. There’s no lack of exciting 

terrain! I started building trails in 2018. I 

knew there was demand for trails in the 

Adirondacks. I’ve been lucky to work with 

Old Forge and Wheelerville to create successful 

trail systems,” More info: wheelervilletrails.com. 

In the greater High Peaks Region, 

Barkeater Trails Alliance builds, maintains, 

and advocates for a system of community 

and backcountry trails for mountain 

biking and cross-country ski touring. 

BETA has been connecting and nurturing 

community-based trail systems for 35 

years, covering 125 miles. In 2011, they 

began building mountain biking trails in 

Wilmington, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, 

Elizabethtown and Keene. 

This year, BETA is partnering with 

three professional trail builders, Tahawus 

Trails, Peduzzi Trail Contracting and 

Backslope Trail Building, to open three 

new machine-built gravity trails in 

Wilmington, Keene/Jay and Lake Placid.

It’s a great time to be a mountain biker 

in upstate New York. Thanks to many people, 

we are BLESSED to have such a wide 

variety of riding in our backyard. My call 

to YOU, riding reader: give back. Reach 

out to your local trail organization. Get 

involved with SMBA, UHTA, AFTA, BETA 

or whatever outfit stewards your region. 

I promise you it’s worth it.

Running through a sun-dappled 

forest canopy just after a brief 

shower, with my sneakers touching 

lightly upon a mosaic of freshly fallen 

colorful leaves never fails to define my 

autumn experience. For others, it might 

be planning to run in a festive costume, 

sampling a locally brewed pumpkin ale, 

or harvesting crops from your own garden.

The following weekend, on October 

22, take a trip down memory lane with a 

jaunt through Winnie the Pooh’s 100 Acre 

Woods at the Malta 5K & 3K/2K Trail 

Races in Luther Forest. This is truly a family 

affair, with the Kids’ 3K and 2K around 

the playing fields attracting an impressive 

contingent of enthusiastic children. After 

cheering on the littles, adults and older 

kids sample the 100 Acre Woods, always 

on the lookout for Eeyore’s House and 

Winnie. The trails, laboriously crafted by 

the Roundabout Runners, are a mix of 

stone dust, soft dirt and wooden bridges, 

with the six-foot width allowing for easy 

passing. There are enough steep hills to 

offer an honest challenge. 

The welcoming atmosphere and the 

obvious pride the locals display when 

showing off their meticulous trail-building 

skills, makes it a favorite. The littles 

each get their own ribbon, while 5K finishers 

receive a wooden medal handcrafted 

by Pooh’s helpers. This year, for the first 

time, participants will receive running 

caps. All proceeds go to the Roundabout

a myriad of exercise and entertainment 

possibilities. For those wishing to take 

their recreation a step further, there are 

normally at least two snowshoe races, 

and coming up this October 28 is the

facilities for first-timers. 

Wooded trails are available for family 

hiking and in the winter these same 

trails and the golf course itself feature 

free snowshoeing and XC skiing on volunteer-groomed 

trails. Look for the donation 

box near the starting bench to support 

equipment updates. In the winter, the 

Town of Greenfield, under the direction of 

Rebecca Sewell, hosts guided snowshoe 

hikes with rentals available. Everyone 

is welcome at the snack and drink bar, 

which frequently features evening musical 

entertainment. Afterwards, plan on 

hanging around to cheer the kids on their 

1K Fun Run and then enjoy Greenfield’s 

Halloween festivities, including music, 

food, entertainment and golf cart decorating, 

in anticipation of the 2-5pm Trick 

or Treat. To reserve a cart, call Rebecca at 

518-428-2267.

One of my greatest joys in paddling is exploring 

new paddling waters. We are blessed with many 

great places for canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding 

around the Greater Capital Region. There are 

too many for just one article. For this installment, let’s go 

north to south along the Hudson River with my personal 

favorites. I’m sure that I’ve left out favorites of some other 

paddlers and I hope to hear some suggestions from readers. 

I will leave it to your own resourcefulness to look up 

specific directions to these launches. 

As always, a word of caution is in order. The Hudson 

is a big river, with power boats ranging from jet skis to 

ocean-going freighters. Winds, waves and currents can 

present a challenge, and the tide range of four feet will dry 

out paddling areas at times. Always wear your life jacket, 

and paddle with some knowledgeable people if you are 

not familiar with river conditions.

IN FAST WATER AT 

THE FALLS NEAR 

PEEBLES ISLAND. 

Waterford – The Mohawk and Hudson rivers meet 

right at the launch on the south end of First Street in 

Waterford. Or at least a main channel of the Mohawk 

meets there. Poking around this area with paddle in hand, 

you will find that the Mohawk splits into three channels 

near its end. The Waterford launch sits at the end of the 

northern channel, and is the entrance to the Erie Canal. 

In fact, one paddling route here is to take your kayak or 

canoe through the Waterford Flight of Locks – the eastern 

end of the Erie Canal. I’ve done it and it’s interesting, but 

it involves a lot of sitting and waiting for locks to fill and 

open. Going through five locks in just over a mile, you rise 

by 165 feet, the greatest lift for the shortest distance of any 

lock system in the world. A landing at Flight Lock Road, just 

west of the locks, is a convenient takeout spot for this trip. 

From Waterford launch, I like to head south around 

the nearby tip of Peebles Island State Park (0.2 miles 

away), and into the middle channel of the Mohawk. This 

channel winds through calm waters along the steep shore 

of the park, and to a pool and waterfall. The brave can play 

in the fast water at the base of the falls, if the flow is not 

too strong. Back on the Hudson and a mile or so further 

south, you will find the southern channel of the Mohawk 

and you can take a nice paddle up that one until you run 

out of water depth. 

Two other routes are fun here – paddling about three 

miles north from the launch, you can paddle around 

Campbell Island, just below Lock One of the Champlain 

Canal. Watch for shallows and fast currents at the north 

end of the island. You can also paddle south from the 

launch, staying on the main river for about two miles, 

where you will come to the Troy Dam and the Federal Lock 

that marks the northern end of the tidal Hudson River. 

ADK PADDLERS ON 

THE HUDSON NEAR 

THE BERKSHIRE 

SPUR BRIDGE. 

Henry Hudson Park – When my wife and I started 

kayaking back in 2000, this park was our first go-to paddling 

spot. More recently, the state has placed a nice 

boat launch at the north end, good for both trailered 

power boats and our hand launched boats. The town also 

installed a special kayak launch, just inside the mouth of 

the Vlomankill stream on the south end of the park. From 

the park, you can paddle north on the river to Van Wie’s 

Point and the port of Albany, or south to the NYS Thruway 

Berkshire Spur bridge, Schodack Island State Park and 

Coeymans Landing. 

Our favorite is to go straight across the river and paddle 

up the Papscanee Creek. The creek and its wetlands 

are said to be the largest tidal wetland area on the Hudson 

Estuary, and you can paddle nearly two miles up that creek. 

Caution: playing the tides here is tricky. To avoid the 

old break wall at the entrance to the creek, it’s best to go

CHAR MAPES EXPLORES 

THE HANNACROIX CREEK 

NEAR COEYMANS LANDING. 

LARRY COKLIN OF LONGMONT, 

ENTERING STOCKPORT CREEK 

AT THE RAILROAD BRIDGE. 

KAYAK, CANOE & SUP from 19 

near the time of high tide. The pitfall, though, is the second 

bridge you come to on the creek. The first bridge is the 

railroad and has lots of head room for paddlers. The second 

bridge is just the steel beams and pilings from an old 

access road, and the head room to paddle under it can disappear 

at the highest part of the tide. If you find the head 

room is minimal and water is still flowing into the wetland, 

don’t go further. You may not have clearance to get out 

again until the tide falls an hour or two later (don’t ask how 

I know). At Papscanee, look for a bald eagle’s nest near the 

mouth, marsh wrens nesting in the cattails, and six-foottall 

plumes of wild rice growing along the waterway. 

Coeymans Landing – Getting my favorite lady out 

paddling requires the promise of good food afterward. 

Coeymans is the perfect location, with the marvelous 

Yanni’s Too waterfront dining establishment – open for 

their 25th season – right next to the boat launch. From this 

launch, we like to paddle south, entering the bay about a 

half-mile on the right, and going up the Hannacroix Creek 

as far as the high tide will allow. Continuing south along 

the western shore, we watch out for the concrete breakwater 

as we exit the bay. 

Next is Donovan’s Shady Harbor Marina with its 

huge cabin cruisers tied up at docks and their waterfront 

Boathouse Grille with wonderful views from their deck. 

Paddling a little further, you find a takeout at Cornell Park 

in New Baltimore village. Go another mile south and you 

can cross to the southern tip of Schodack Island and a 

small sandy beach just around the backside of the island. 

That backside bay goes north about five miles to a kayak 

landing at the Schodack Island State Park (the bay dries 

out at low tide). We usually return back north along the 

shore on the river side of the island. 

Coxsackie –This launch and the next one both put you 

in the area dubbed “eagle central” by a friend. From the 

revitalized Coxsackie State Boat Launch and Riverside 

Park in the village of Coxsackie you can paddle either

north or south – both directions give you islands, bays and 

creeks to explore. At least four bald eagle nest sites are 

found within a five-mile stretch of river here. Next to the 

park, Patrick Henry’s Waterfront Tavern recently opened 

in a historic building. 

Going north, explore Coxsackie and Rattlesnake 

islands, and Coxsackie Creek along the west shore. 

Crossing to the east shore, you find Mill Creek, Stuyvesant 

village (with a boat launch/landing and Pico de Gallo 

Mexican restaurant), and Nutton Hook State Unique Area. 

The largest ice house on the Hudson was located there 

and the massive brick chimney from the steam plant is 

a landmark. 

Going south, we usually cross to the eastern shore of 

the river to explore Little Nutton Hook wetland, the landing 

at Hudson Islands State Park (with boat access campsites), 

and Stockport Middleground Island. That brings us 

nearly to our next launch. 

Four-Mile Point Preserve – A short dead-end road 

south of Coxsackie offers this park by Scenic Hudson with 

dramatic river vistas, plus the lively Vosburgh 

Swamp State Wildlife Area (home to many 

birds and amphibians), and a beach where 

you can launch kayaks – and enjoy a shoreline 

picnic. 

Directly across the river is Stockport 

Middleground Island and the mouth of 

Stockport Creek – with a landing and launch. 

Going south, you find Stockport Flats State 

Wetland Preserve on the east side and opposite 

that, the West Flats Wetlands. Both provide 

interesting paddling at high tide. 

For any of these paddle trips except 

Waterford, you should consult the tide chart. 

Why? The direction of flow in the river changes 

about every six hours. Remember that the 

Hudson River from Troy to the Atlantic Ocean 

is a large estuary – a tidal arm of the sea. As 

tide goes up and down in the ocean, it affects 

the current direction and the level of water for about 150 

miles inland, all the way to the Troy Dam. 

The currents in the Hudson are not very fast, usually 

not more than 1.5 miles per hour in the areas covered in 

this article. You can successfully paddle against the current, 

but it’s more work. Add a strong head wind to the 

current, and it can spell trouble. I check the tides with 

an internet search on “Hudson River Tide Chart” and 

the name of a nearby river town, like “Hudson River Tide 

Chart Coxsackie.” 

To learn about safe paddling on big waters like the 

Hudson, I recommend taking a few trips with a group like 

the Adirondack Mountain Club or a reputable paddle tour 

company.

NON-MEDICATED LIFE 

Potential Benefits of 

Sulforaphane 

By Paul E. Lemanski, 

MD, MS, FACP 

Medicines are a mainstay of 

American life and the healthcare 

system not only because they 

are perceived to work by the individuals 

taking them, but also because 

their benefit may be shown by the 

objective assessment of scientific 

study. Clinical research trials have 

shown that some of the medicines 

of Western science may reduce the 

risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, 

strokes, cardiovascular death, and 

even some cancers. 

In the first 110 installments of the 

Non-Medicated Life, a healthy diet and 

lifestyle has been shown to accomplish 

naturally for the majority of individuals 

most of the benefits of medications in 

the prevention of the chronic medical 

conditions mentioned above. With 

respect to a healthy diet, certain foods 

may have a disproportionate benefit. 

This may be true for cruciferous 

vegetables and their most active and 

well-studied ingredient sulforaphane. 

The cruciferous vegetables include 

arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels 

sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard 

greens, kale, radish and watercress. 

Epidemiological data suggests that 

cruciferous vegetables may reduce 

the risk of all-cause mortality and the 

risk for certain cancers. For example, 

while observed for some time, a study 

published in 2011 in the American 

Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed 

individuals in the top 20% of vegetable 

consumption had a 16% reduction in 

Editor’s Note: This is the 111th in a 

series on optimal diet and lifestyle 

to help prevent and treat disease. 

Any planned change in diet, exercise 

or treatment should be discussed 

with and approved by your personal 

physician before implementation. The 

help of a registered dietitian in the 

implementation of dietary changes is 

strongly recommended. 

all-cause mortality. Of interest, individuals 

in the top 20% of cruciferous vegetable 

consumption reduced all-cause mortality 

risk by 22%. 

In another study, men who consumed 

three-to-five servings a week of cruciferous 

vegetables had a 40% reduction in 

their risk for prostate cancer as compared 

to men eating less than one serving a 

week. In another study, smokers consuming 

four servings of cruciferous vegetables 

per month had a 55% reduction in 

lung cancer risk. Studies have also shown 

women consuming cruciferous vegetables 

once a week reduced risk for breast 

cancer by 17% and by up to 50% in those 

consuming cruciferous vegetables on a 

daily basis. 

While such reductions are impressive, 

such epidemiological or population-based 

studies do not establish causality. 

For establishment of causality, 

randomized prospective clinical trials are 

needed, and finding the possible causative 

substance for the observed benefit 

would aid the design and completion of 

such trials. 

Starting over 30 years ago Dr. Paul 

Talalay and the Johns Hopkins’ Cullman 

Chemoprotection Center attempted to 

identify the active ingredient responsible 

for the benefit seen in epidemiological 

studies. Ultimately, the lab identified a 

substance from broccoli called sulforaphane 

and set out to study it for efficacy 

and possible mechanisms. To date, thousands 

of research studies have been completed 

investigating sulforaphane and its 

potential benefit in human health. 

Broccoli plants do not contain sulforaphane. 

Rather they contain the precursor 

of sulforaphane, called glucoraphanin, 

and an enzyme called myrosinase. The 

precursor and the enzyme are stored in 

small vesicles in close proximity to one 

another within the broccoli floret. When 

an animal or human chews the plant, 

the vesicles are broken and the glucoraphenin 

is acted upon by the myrosinase to 

produce sulforaphane. The sulforaphane 

has a disagreeable taste to many animals 

and some humans and the plant may use 

this property to protect itself from being 

eaten. While this may help the plant, what 

is its connection to possible cancer prevention 

in humans? 

Cancer is a multistep process of damage 

to DNA ultimately resulting in uncontrolled 

cell division and dissemination 

called metastasis. Damage to DNA may 

come from a variety of sources including 

ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation, 

viruses such as HIV, HPV and Hepatitis B, 

as well as exposure to certain compounds 

called carcinogens. Carcinogens may be 

artificially made compounds but also 

may be naturally occurring. For example, 

a naturally occurring fungus growing on 

moldy peanuts and tree nuts produces a 

toxin called aflatoxin that increases the 

risk of liver cancer. 

Thankfully, the liver which is the 

major detoxifying organ in the body, can 

act upon both ingested drugs and carcinogens 

to modify them and, when potentially 

unhealthy, help enhance their excretion 

and thus body cells’ exposure time. 

The liver has two enzymatic systems for 

drug and carcinogen processing: Phase 1 

biotransformation enzymes and Phase 2 

conjugation and detoxification enzymes. 

Phase 1 enzymes can actually take prodrugs 

(and pro-carcinogens) and process 

them to active drugs or carcinogens. Phase 

2 enzymes can combine carcinogens and 

cocarcinogens with substances that make 

them water soluble and thus able to be 

eliminated from the body via urine. 

Sulforaphane appears to influence 

both Phase 1 and 2 enzymatic systems. It 

decreases activity of Phase 1 enzymes and 

increases activity of the Phase 2 enzymes, 

thus reducing the formation of carcinogens 

and cocarcinogens and increasing 

their elimination from the body. Reducing 

carcinogen exposure in this way, may thus 

help prevent the development of cancer. 

In addition, sulforaphane may 

have a direct effect on DNA by protecting 

tumor suppressor genes, portions 

of DNA that help control cell 

growth. In a study of men with diagnosed 

prostate cancer who showed 

evidence of recurrence after prostate 

surgery, 60 milligrams of sulforaphane 

a day (equivalent to what results from 

ingesting approximately 140 grams of 

broccoli sprouts) slowed the rate of 

rise of tumor marker Prostate Specific 

Antigen (PSA) by 86%. (Please note: 

although safe in moderate dosing, 

the adjunctive use of high-dose sulforaphane 

described above in cancer 

patients as with all patients should 

first be discussed with your oncologist, 

urologist, or primary care physician to 

determine any possible contraindications 

to use). While slowing the rise 

of this tumor-marker would seem to 

indicate a slowing of cancer growth, 

further studies are needed. 

In summary, vegetables in general 

and cruciferous vegetables particular 

appear to lower all-cause mortality 

including cancer. One of the mediators 

of this benefit appears to be 

sulforaphane, a substance derived 

from the mastication of multiple cruciferous 

vegetables, but especially 

broccoli florets and broccoli sprouts. 

Sulforaphane activates enzymes in the 

liver that deactivate carcinogens and 

increase their elimination from the 

body. It may also have direct effects on 

protecting DNA. 

Sulforaphane is representative of 

a number of naturally occurring substances 

that may lower cancer risk and 

be used adjunctively 

with traditional 

Western medical 

treatments to 

potentially improve 

outcome once cancer 

is diagnosed.

“I run because I can’t sit still 

(and I love it)” 

Be a lifelong athlete 

for a long (and fulfilling) life 

By Kristen Hislop 

Lifelong athletes are people who have 

been active in sports for their entire 

lives. We read about many sports that 

engage athletes over their lifespan on the 

pages of this publication. From hiking, 

skiing, running, swimming, biking, tennis, 

and golf – these sports attract athletes 

of all ages. According to the President’s 

Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition 

Science Board, 73% of adults who play 

sports also did so when they were young. 

We may know someone who swam in a 

summer league as a kid and continues to 

enjoy lap swimming as an adult. 

But of the 16 million lifelong athletes 

in the United States, only a small percentage 

are competitive at a high level for their 

entire lives. We could consider them elite 

athletes; however, we often think of elite 

athletes as professionals. Those who get 

paid to compete, but how about the people 

who compete regularly without getting 

paid. They still stand on the overall 

or age group podium at races they choose 

to attend. Many of those events are local, 

but can be regional, national and even 

international. 

Now, thinking about a lifelong athlete 

you know who has and still does compete 

at a high level, and your list is likely shorter! 

As Judy Guzzo will tell you, it isn’t easy! 

It takes planning, balance, consistency, 

family support, and a good dose of motivation. 

Judy focused on soccer and volleyball 

until her older sister Trisha, who ran for 

Notre Dame High School in Utica, got 

her hooked on running. “In high school, 

my girlfriend and I started the first girls 

cross country team at New Hartford High 

School. I continued running cross country 

and track at SUNY Plattsburgh and loved 

it. The team was a big part of my life in 

college.” 

Certain races became family traditions 

early on and the Utica Boilermaker 

15K was one. Watch for this to become a 

theme. 

After graduating from SUNY 

Plattsburgh, Judy went to work at GE 

Research for about two years. Like many 

with inquisitive minds, this scientist 

decided to pursue a graduate degree in 

Inorganic Chemistry at University of Notre 

Dame. Anyone who has been on the science 

track in college knows that Organic 

Chemistry is the course that crushes many 

dreams. On a school tour, the summer 

before she started, Judy met a guy. He 

invited her on a group bike ride with his 

lab and then to a BBQ at his house. “It was 

love at first sight, literally.” 

Judy tackled her classes with success 

and along the way, the chemistry grew

with fellow graduate student Pete Guzzo. 

Graduating together they also tied the 

knot in South Bend in 1994. The Northeast 

was calling them home and so Pete took a 

position as a postdoc at RPI in Troy and 

Judy was happy to join GE Research in 

Niskayuna as a chemist. 

Today, Judy has been with GE for 30+ 

years. She notes, “primarily because of 

the unique opportunities at GE Research 

to work in a variety of roles, technologies 

and GE businesses. I transitioned to roles 

as project leader, Principal Investigator, 

and now as a Senior Manager for External 

Technology Partnerships. I’ve spanned 

technical disciplines from robotics to 

systems engineering and am currently 

focused on enabling government programs 

at GE with strategic partners using 

innovations to modernize the electric 

grid.” Suffice it to say, Judy has had a huge 

impact on GE. Rarely do we hear of people 

with long careers, but as we look at Judy’s 

athletic endeavors, they follow the similar 

theme of new challenges and a chance to 

tackle big ventures and adventures. 

She also competed for GE’s Corporate 

Track & Field Team in the USCAA Track & 

Field Nationals for six years in the 5K, 10K 

and 800m; raced as part of the GE Co-Ed 

Team at the 2006 and 2007 Hood to Coast 

Relay (winning the Mixed Corporate 

Open Division in 2006); has been part 

of GE Womens and Co-Ed teams for the 

Chase Corporate Challenge in Albany and 

Finals in New York City; and has been GE 

team co-captain for the Workforce Team 

Challenge for 15+ years. 

Back to South Bend. It was there that 

Pete introduced Judy to triathlon. The Sun 

Burst Triathlon marked the beginning and 

they’ve been doing them together ever 

since. For Notre Dame alums, swimming 

in St. Joseph’s Lake on campus and finishing 

the run in the football stadium drew 

them back. With a plethora of races on 

her resume she says, “I love the Olympic 

distance. It’s a physical and mental challenge 

for both the training and racing.” 

Over the years you accumulate a lot of 

stories. A favorite is from the Piseco Lake 

Sprint Triathlon in the Adirondacks. “One 

year we had my entire family participating 

on relays or doing the full triathlon. 

My sister, niece, two of our kids, Pete, and 

half of our neighborhood on Arrowhead 

Road. We took home a pile of medals and 

ice cream.” 

Judy’s husband, Pete, is also very 

active and accomplished: a five-time finisher 

of the Wakely Dam Ultra 55K trail 

run; an Adirondack Winter 46er; almost in 

the Northeast 115 Club for those who’ve 

climbed all 4000-foot peaks (only seven 

remaining!); and a member of Hudson- 

Mohawk Search and Rescue. He’s also in the 

band, AROX: facebook.com/acoustixrox. 

Remember that 73% of adults who 

participate in sports did so in their youth. 

In the Guzzo family all three kids were 

required to do at least one sport during 

school. “They thought it was normal for 

parents to get up at 5am for a 10-mile run 

and do races on the weekend. By middle 

school, they realized it was not the ‘norm.’ 

Overall, I think it’s encouraged them to 

participate and enjoy sports with teams 

and have a healthy lifestyle.” 

What are these amazing kids up to 

now? Robby, 23, said we were an “exception” 

to the families he knew. Robby 

was an accomplished runner at Notre 

Dame-Bishop Gibbons High School in 

Schenectady, and has run the Philadelphia 

Half Marathon and the local Stockadeathon 

15K while being in college at SUNY 

Schenectady, and now at Siena. 

Anna, 21, has been an avid swimmer 

since grade school with a short break to 

participate in cross country and track at 

ND-BG during high school. She started 

swimming competitively again at SUNY 

Oneonta as a freshman, and will be finishing 

her senior year on the swim team 

as one of the team captains. 

After swimming and trying about six 

different sports, Olivia, 18, became very 

involved in mountain biking with the 

Niskayuna Mohawk Composite Mountain 

Goats team (NICA NY) starting in eighth 

grade through senior year, and also competing 

in cyclocross with the Capital 

Bicycle Racing Club team for two seasons. 

Of her family Anna says, “growing up, 

I thought it was completely normal that 

my parents would wake up early and run 

or bike. In my everyday life, I always make 

sure that I am moving whether it is lifting, 

running, swimming, or just going for a walk. 

Now that I am swimming in college, I am 

even more grateful that my parents pushed 

me and my siblings to be active every day.” 

Let’s get back to role model mother 

Judy. Not only does she compete, but 

she also steps up on the podium regularly. 

She has outright won the Corporate 

Challenge in 1997 (now the Workforce 

Team Challenge) and a few of the HMRRC 

Mother’s Day races in Delmar. In 2021, 

she placed second in her age group at the 

Philadelphia Half Marathon in 1:34, and 

was recently third in her age group at the 

Tupper Lake Tinman Olympic. How do 

you keep motivated to continue year after 

year? Family and friends – that theme just 

keeps coming up! 

In 2000, Emily Bryans, one of the most 

accomplished runners in the area, casually 

asked if Judy had interest in joining 

a running team. Thrilled with the idea, 

it became a reality as the Willow Street 

Athletic Club was formed. Twenty-three 

years later this USATF Adirondack club 

continues to grow and support top athletes 

in the region. Willow Street brings 

like-minded runners together to develop 

individual talent as well as assemble competitive 

teams while fostering friendships. 

The team is Judy’s extended running family. 

“I cherish these friendships and racing 

experiences with the team, and am grateful 

for the support from Fleet Feet to this 

team and the running community.” 

When you’ve won races as long as 36 

years ago, it’s tough to look at a personal 

record as a success. Instead, Judy measures 

success by staying healthy and in 

the game! She maintains a good level of 

fitness that allows her to place in her age 

group at races. A priority is always having 

fun with teammates at races and other 

outdoor adventures. 

You might be tired reading this article 

and thinking – well she can do this, 

but I can’t. Judy has some great advice, 

“Commit to making it part of your daily 

lifestyle, even if it’s 30 minutes.” You’ve got 

to be in it to win it! 

What’s next for the woman who won’t 

sit still? This fall you’ll find her at the 

MVP Health Care Stockade-athon 15K, 

Cardiac Classic 5K on Thanksgiving with 

family and friends, and the Philadelphia 

Half Marathon. In 2024, it will be toeing 

the line with her team wherever Willow 

Street races, including the Freihofer’s 

Run for Women 5K. Of the Run for Women 

she says, “Freihofer’s is one of my favorite 

races. I love the team spirit and female 

camaraderie. The event showcases the 

depth and breadth of women’s running 

from beginners to the elite racers in our 

very own Capital Region and around the 

nation!” 

On the triathlon scene, she’ll be back 

up in Tupper Lake for the Olympic in June 

2024 and likely taking her age group again 

at the Crystal Lake Triathlon in August. 

I’m sure if some friends suggest another 

race, she might just show up. After all, 

family and friends are a key component 

to being a lifelong athlete.

Masters and 

US Masters 

Swimming 

By Kathy Meany 

As swimmers and triathletes in the 

great Northeast, we are fortunate 

to live in an area where we have 

access to beautiful lakes and outdoor 

town park pools to swim in throughout 

the summer months. But like it or not, 

the outdoor season comes to an end, and 

we are forced to move our workouts to an 

indoor pool at a local fitness club, high 

school, college or community center. The 

challenges of returning to swimming in 

an indoor pool for many months of the 

year can include finding a facility with lap 

swimming hours that match our schedule, 

getting a lane, endlessly staring down 

at the black center line, and dealing with 

the effects of chlorine! 

For some of us, the reality of returning 

to indoor swimming is mitigated by the 

opportunity to swim in programs sponsored 

by Adirondack Masters Swimming 

(AD-LMSC). Adirondack Masters 

Swimming is one of 53 local Masters 

swimming “committees” (LMSCs) 

affiliated with United States Masters 

Swimming (USMS), the national governing 

body of competitive and recreational 

swimming for athletes age 18 and above. 

Adirondack Masters, one of three of the 

committees in New York State, covers the 

greater Capital Region, Hudson Valley, 

Mohawk Valley, Adirondacks, and the 

Leatherstocking region. 

Who are the swimmers who comprise 

VOLUNTEERS CHEER 

ON SWIMMERS AT 

THE ADIRONDACK 

MASTERS MEET AT 

SKIDMORE COLLEGE. 

the membership of Adirondack Masters at 

the local level and United States Masters 

Swimming at the national level? Many of 

our members swam competitively as kids 

in age group programs and/or as young 

adults on high school and college teams 

who want to continue training for and 

competing in races and meets once youth 

swimming opportunities are in life’s rearview 

mirror. Many of our members are 

“lapsed” competitive swimmers, those 

who swam competitively at an earlier time 

in their life, got out of it for any number of 

reasons, and want to get back into training 

and competing later in their twenties, thirties, 

forties, fifties, sixties … you name it! 

Some of our members are triathletes 

who appreciate the importance of a good 

swimming stroke, want to improve their 

performance in the swimming leg of their 

events, or want to add variety and diverse 

goals into their training during the off-season. 

And the majority of our members are 

dedicated recreational swimmers who 

have no interest in competition but want 

to take advantage of Adirondack and US 

Masters resources and programs for continuing 

on their fitness journey. 

There are diverse benefits and 

advantages to becoming a member 

of Adirondack Masters/US Masters 

Swimming. US Masters Swimming offers 

a TREMENDOUS collection of workouts 

to tap into for athletes of all interests and 

ability levels, as well as a vast collection 

of training tips and instructional articles 

and videos. These are great resources, 

especially because many of our members 

train on their own instead of with a workout 

group or in a coached program. 

Membership is often a gateway to 

opportunities to enjoy the fun and camaraderie 

of swimming with others, sometimes 

in a clinic with certified coaches, 

in a group fitness event, or in an ongoing 

coached Masters workout program. As 

the number of athletes in our area committed 

to swimming returns to pre-Covid 

levels, Adirondack Masters is pushing 

for more coached Masters workout programs 

where adults of all skill levels can

SWIMMING continued from 35 

improve their strokes, increase their fitness, and enjoy the 

company of like-minded athletes. Time in the pool and 

the intensity of training are so much more enjoyable when 

swimming with friends! 

For those interested, membership in Adirondack 

Masters/USMS allows the opportunity to swim in 

open-water races and pool meets in our committee, 

those in nearby states, as well as across the nation. USMS 

offers an impressive calendar of sanctioned meets and 

open-water races across the country. Our local meets 

include all standard competitive swimming events: 50-, 

100- and 200-yard freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, 

butterfly and individual medley events; 500-, 1000- or 

1650-yard freestyle; and several medley and freestyle 

relays. Training for even two or three of these events in an 

upcoming meet can offer many advantages, including the 

motivation needed to get to the pool and get the workouts 

done, and a chance to benchmark progress by comparing 

times from one meet to another in a standard distance 

with relatively standard conditions. 

We often hear that, “Swimming is a lifelong sport,” 

truly evident in our 80- and 90-year-old members. But, 

“Swimming is a lifelong sport,” also because, for most us 

mortals, it will take a lifetime to come close to “mastering” 

all of these strokes and racing all of these distances! 

On the Adirondack Masters calendar for this fall are 

two meets: the Kingston “First Capital” Masters Meet at 

the Kingston/Ulster County YMCA on Sunday, October 

8, and the Leatherstocking Masters Meet at Hartwick 

College in Oneonta on Sunday, November 5. 

As we move towards this winter and next spring, we’ll be 

hosting our annual New Year’s Group Fitness Workout; one 

clinic on Preparing for a Masters Swim Meet and another 

on Open-Water Swimming Skills; and our annual meet 

at Skidmore College and one at Mohonasen High School. 

In the summer, we partner with US Masters Swimming 

and Green Leaf Racing on the annual Betsy Owens/Terry 

Laughlin Open-Water Swim Races in Mirror Lake. 

For information about and registration for fall events, 

visit: adms.org. On our website, you will also find the link 

to register for membership in Adirondack Masters/US 

Masters Swimming, as well as postings about future events 

and links to communicate directly with our Adirondack 

Masters officers. You can also follow us on Facebook at 

Adirondack Masters Swimming. 

There is a misconception that Masters swimming is 

only for “expert” swimmers or that Masters swimmers 

are swimmers who are “old.” Yes, many of our swimmers 

are extremely competitive in their age group and in their 

events, and, yes, we have the privilege of having members 

who are super, super seniors. But Adirondack Masters 

Swimming and US Masters Swimming are truly welcoming 

of all levels of swimmers ages 18 and over. All that’s needed 

is an appreciation for the sport! Jump into the pool and 

give us a try! 

Kathy Meany (kmeany2@verizon.net) is vice-president 

and sanctions chairperson of Adirondack Masters 

Swimming. She is a retired teacher, principal, and 

school district superintendent who is an avid swimmer, 

cyclist, triathlete, hiker, pickleball and tennis player. 

Kathy volunteers in many capacities in the community.

training tool for their cross-country running teams. Low impact training 

allows recovery of injured hips, knees, ankles. So smooth 

it feels like running on air, very gentle on your joints.
