Thank You Seldovia Volunteers!
by Sandy Murray – Chair, Parks, Recreation and Trails Committee
A big THANK YOU to the following 11 volunteers who showed up to help clear the Rocky Ridge Trail on Saturday, July 14th!
Happy Schneider, Kari Heinrich and Duna, Bob Moser, Tobben and Tania Spurkland, Mary Ann Driscoll, Frieda Erickson, Sachiko Scott, Jere Murray and yours truly. It took us about 5 hours of tedious work. But looking behind to see an open path was instant gratification!! We were two groups of happy workers when we met clearing the trail from opposite directions! On their way down those who worked from the Airport side were able to enjoy the trail newly cleared by those of us who started from Rocky Rd.
Thanks go also to Walt Sonen who took his chainsaw and hiked the trail the day before clearing the trees and to Dean Lent who was kind enough to shuffle the workers up to the trailhead in his 4-wheeler. It would have taken longer and we would have been more tired without your help!
The trail is now cleared from end to end and ready for everyone to hike and enjoy. If you see any of the volunteers, please give them a big thank you! Clearing trail is never an easy task. Fun, lots of exercise and lots of work!
Thanks again for a job well done.

Sorry for the super delayed photo story about the fabulous Chainsaw Exhibition 2012!
Here is a great combination of photos – from beginning to end – almost like you were there! You can click here or on the image to the left to open the link for the large photo story! Another great feature of this format is that once you click on the image – you can click on any photo in the layout and it will open a slide show format, and you can view all the photos at your own pace in full size! (Depending on the size of your screen, some of the text on the left side may not be visible – but the “whole” story and more is below! Also, please note that there are a lot of photos and may take a few minutes to load, depending on your Internet speed.)
This Memorial Day chainsaw competition was a little different from the previous years. Due to a myriad of scheduling conflicts (a move out-of-state, opening a new gallery, moving a shop/workshop across town, building a home, etc.) many carvers weren’t able to make it to our event this year.
We were thankful that three great carvers joined us this summer, Ben & Silas Firth (2nd year), Jimmy Kitchens & Carisa Curtis (5th year) and Rob Younkins & Deveyn LaCroix (3rd year)!
Due to the small participant size, we modified the event to be an exhibition, Continue Reading
