Going To The Prom!

It seemed like yesterday when our son started school.  Last night he put on his tux, borrowed my car to pick up his date for the A.C.S. prom.  I managed to get some video shots of his departure, but I did not want to cramp his style, so I stayed at home.

Thinking.... back to my prom in '78..... Recalling all the fun times of being a senior at I.H.C. This prompted me to do some more reflection.  I am closer now to becoming a senior citizen than a senior in high school and it seems when ever I close my eyes.... another year has passed.

I am not going to share any of my profound wisdom after all you have plenty of your own.  That is something that I will dole out to our son one day at a time.  The video I made shows just how quickly our children grow up.

Antique Boat Museum: A Brief History

Clayton New York:

It all started in 1965 with a boat show that featured Idyll Oaks.  Over the past 5 decades, many Classic and Antique boats have been spotlighted at this  yearly boat show.  This video chronicles a condensed version of that history and the beauty of each nautical artifact. The Antique Boat Museum opens for the season on May 2nd.

Slow Down In T.I. Park

Summer residents of T.I. Park have been complaining that vehicles drive to fast within the Park.  One of those residents, Emilie Cardineaux who is also a singer, songwriter wrote a song about how everyone needs to Slow Down! The lyrics to this catchy song, Slow Down go like this:

....Slow down, slow down, slow down
It's a fifteen mile an hour town....

I recorded Emilie's song at the Top Of The Bay summer 2013.



In the 2014 Spring publication of the Gazette, T.I. Park president Bill Burns made the following comments:
I ask you to review the section on Speeding and Signs located on Page 16. A perennial, yet growing concern of Park residents is vehicle speed. Consequently, the Board has decided to reduce the speed limit throughout the Park to 10 miles per hour. Adherence to the lower speed will better protect our kids, keep dust levels down, and reduce costly road damage during rainy periods. The Corporation will fine and enforce better than we have, and we ask you, the resident, to help keep our Park safe by reporting speeders to the Security or Corporation Offices. 

T.I. Park is located on Wellesley Island, one of the largest on the St. Lawrence River.  T.I. Park is also a Historic District and noted for it's whimsical  turn of the century summer cottages.
