Members of the Old Forge Covey-Pashley American Legion Post #893 Auxiliary presented scholarships to two Town of Webb School graduating seniors at a meeting held Thursday, June 23.
Recipients of this year’s scholarships were Alicia Burnett of Inlet and Ada Rannels of Thendara.
The 2nd Annual Adirondack Memory Walk in Inlet on Saturday, June 18 was again a success.
This year, close to $5,500 was raised through the generosity of all those who walked or donated to our cause. The funds will be shared with the Resource Center for Independent Living (RCIL) and the Alzheimer’s Association and will aid in the purchase of items for the RCIL program in Inlet.
The RCIL program in Inlet is open to seniors on Wednesdays for fun, recreation, and craft work, and offers caregivers some down time.
The event was filled with friendly faces, music for our ears and memories that filled our hearts. Those that had family memories to share wore t-shirts bearing a photograph of their loved ones lost to Alzheimer’s Disease.
They shared their special thoughts with one another-making memories in their memory. That’s the cause, and hopefully there will soon be a cure.
Thank you to those who walked, donated funds, played music, sang, donated for the silent auction, baked, helped organize, dropped off golf carts, and even a porta potty!!
Your help was greatly appreciated.
Donations will continue to be accepted at the Inlet Town Offices or online at: inletalzwalk@kintera.org.

To the Editor:
I recently heard about a new “state of the art” supermarket which I have to try.
It has an automatic water mister to keep produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the distant sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
When you pass the milk cases you hear cows moo, and experience the scent of fresh cut hay.
In the Meat Department, there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks, and in the Liquor Department the fresh, clean, crisp smell of a newly tapped keg of beer.
When you approach the egg case you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing odor of bacon and eggs frying.
The Bread Department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread and cookies.
If you come across this supermarket, just a word of advice….
Buy toilet paper somewhere else!!!!
