Apple FestivalCAMBRIDGE Apples and all

t h e i r delicious products will be celebrated at

the Fourth A n n u a l C a m b r i d g e Valley Apple Festival on

Saturday, Oct. 6.

The Cambridge Valley Chamber of Commerce will present the festival, which takes place at Railroad Park (next to the Cambridge Hotel) and the Historic Cambridge Freight Yard behind Hubbard Hall.

It’s the perfect event for Cambridge, where Apple Pie a la Mode was created in the 1890s at the Cambridge Hotel.

This festival includes an apple pie contest, games, crafts, food, vendors, music, a community-wide tag sale and sidewalk sales.

Area residents are welcome to bake a pie for the Apple Pie Bake-off. There is no cost to enter the contest, which requires participants to enter their favorite recipe and two home-made pies. The public will sample the pies from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a small fee, and will vote on their favorites. From this sampling, the top five pies will be sent to a panel of celebrity judges at 3 p.m., who will select the grand prize win-ner. The winner will be announced at 4 p.m.

The bake-off is open to ama-teur bakers only. To enter, look for the competition rules at www.cambridgenychamber.com or call 518-677-0887.

In addition to sampling pies in the Bake-off, the public is welcome to enter the Apple Pie-eating Contest. This hands-free competition is messy fun for those watching as well as for those participating. The first person to completely finish a whole pie topped with ice cream (without using hands) will be declared the winner. Registration for the contest will begin at 10 a.m. at the Chamber’s Apple Festival booth. The chil-dren’s event for ages three to

nine will take place at 3 p.m., while the adult contest will start at 3:30 p.m.

A community-wide tag sale will take place in and around Cambridge in conjunction with the Apple Festival. In addition, Chamber businesses will be set-ting up sidewalk sales. Both parks will have merchandise vendors and food vendors with apple-themed treats for sale.

Beginning at 2 p.m., the Chamber will sell slices of apple pie a la mode. Ice cream and milk to accompany the pie will be served courtesy of Stewart’s, Inc.

The Apple Festival will include several apple-themed carnival type games for chil-dren, including an apple bean bag toss, an apple slingshot, apple mini-putt, and an apple lollipop game, all with apple-themed prizes. There will also be an area where children can create apple crafts. All chil-dren’s activity booths will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

~ Eye On Business ~

Living in a small rural town and running a business can be a challenge. To have a career that helps people improve their quality of life and be able to make a living at it is ideal. My name is Michelle Armstrong, I own In Harmony Therapeutic Massage. I have been practicing massage therapy for 4 years and have a treatment room in my home near Summit Lake, Argyle, NY. I am truly blessed!Let me tell you something about what I do.When you hear the word‘massage’ what comes to mind? Is it soft music, lotions and oils, relaxing for an hour while a trained professional coaxes the tension from your tired, stressed muscles? What does ‘massage therapy’make you think? You’re saying to yourself, “Is there a difference?” Yes, there are differences in massage. Most people don’t think of massage therapy as an option or in addition to medical care. The truth is many doctors recommend massage therapy for their patients. We massage therapists have all kinds of tricks up our sleeve to help our clients with neck and back pain, pulled muscles, joint pain, headaches, numbness and tingling in arms, sciatica and range of motion issues and sports injuries.Our therapy doesn’treplace medical care but it will do things that pharmaceutical’scannot.Another option available for my clients is an infrared sauna that will also enhance the effects of massage. Clinical studies have shown a reduction in blood pressure, improved circulationwhich reduces edema and inflammation and speeds healing. Neck, back and arthritis pain are also helped by low level heat therapy. Weight loss is facilitated by raising core body temperature and causing passive cardiovascular conditioning and increasing circulation and sweat.I know massage therapy sounds very clinical but it doesn’t have to be. My sessions are tailored to my client’s needs. I address pain issues and can still give you a relaxing massage. You tell me how much time you would like and together we plan your session. Call 638-8482 for a consultation and for rates and pictures go to www.inharmonycare.com.Call for my current special: $45 Massage and Sauna Session.

Car Show BEST BETHARTFORD For seniors at

Hartford High School, running a car show is one of the rites of passage.

“The whole senior class is involved,” said Drew Rubin, one of the members of the class of 2013 putting together the 11th Annual Classic Cruise On In and Show it Off Car Show on

Saturday, Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hartford Central School.

“Everybody’s been doing something; it’s really our first fund-raiser,” Rubin added. “It brings us together as a class.”

Senior adviser Andrea Stoddard got the event started in 2005, and during the first few years, it was held twice a year. Now it’s a focused, October event held annually at the school, which is at the corner of routes 149 and 40.

Rubin said late last week that the trophies had already arrived, and the gift bags were about to come in. “We’re work-ing on some other fund-raising, too.”

Stoddard said she enjoys working with the seniors. “You see them as they are just about to head into the world. I cannot describe the feeling I get seeing them at graduation.”

There’s one problem with that.

“We get a new group every year,” she said. “So each group has to learn how to put the show o n . ” Registration all cars of all years will be at 9 a.m. The entry fee is $5 in advance or $7 on the day of the show. Spectator admission is $3.

For more information or to register for the show, please call Stoddard at 632-5222,

The rain date for the show is Sunday, Oct. 14.

In the spring of this year Double L Stable Equine Rescue and Sanctuary received a phone call about a small pony in need of help in Vermont. The little paint stallion had made the long trip from the Midwest in a stock trailer packed with other hors-es on there way to an auction in Connecticut. This pony only stood about 42 inches tall or so and he had been traded to a man for a cart. Not having a barn and not having any fencing the man chained the spotted pony to his porch railing and tossed him some hay. A sign was placed out front announcing the equine’s arrival and that he was available for sale or trade.

A group of women working near by saw the sign and the tiny white and brown stallion and knew he needed to be moved out of there before he began to break down. This pony posed all kinds of logistical problems from a rescue’s standpoint. He needed to be quarantined, he needed a current coggins test to be moved, most of all he needed to be gelded. The group of car-

ing women all volunteered to help with everything needed if Double L could quarantine and house the pony and take over finding him a permanent home. The wheels were set into motion. A vet was called and as soon as the coggins was faxed into the vet’s office Double L started rolling toward the small steed.

It was determined by the vet that the pony was only 2 years old. This brings up a new set of problems. Will he load on a trailer by himself, does he even lead, and did he know he was a stallion yet? Yes, yes, and no. Yeah! He traveled like a champ and stepped off the trailer at the rescue and was lead into a private paddock with a sturdy run in shed a safe distance from the other horses but where he could see and talk to them. He was given the name Little Joe to start his new life. He was geld-ed the very next day. He turned out to be gem. After about 2 weeks of watching for impend-ing health issues he was deemed in fine condition and was given

a stall in the barn. Now is when the really hard

work comes in. Finding him a new home where he can be loved and cared for forever. Little Joe was so small but his heart was as big as the sky. He loved everyone and it did not take too long for word to spread to some local grandparents looking for their 5 year old granddaughter’s first horse. It was love at first sight and with-in a weeks time Little Joe was at his new home being fed treats

and loved on. He has given his new charge plenty of pony rides and acts like and old champ instead of a young scamp. What a great way for a pony to spend his days…………………..There is no telling where he could have ended up but due to some very caring women who knew they needed to act fast to make sure this pony landed some-where safe and the assistance of Double L Stable Equine Rescue and Sanctuary Little Joe will never have to worry again.

We at Double L wish all the horses could have such a happy ending. We can only do it with help. Please stop into our Barn Sale and Open House on October 6, 2012. Come anytime between 8-3 and meet our sanctuary horses. Please feel free to bring any cans and bottles for recy-cling and used ink cartridges too. The recycling money goes to helping the rescue horses. Located at 9 Tilford Rd. Argyle, NY 12809.
