The berry business is also busy at Rulfs Orchard in Peru, where Anne Bassler of Keeseville and her son Michael, 12, weigh their hand-picked straw-berries 6 pounds worth. While 28-degree temperatures two nights in a row back in May killed the first blossoms, the strawberries they have now are "unbelievable," Laura Rulfs said. The picking season may go well into July, as long as temperatures don't get too hot.(P-R Photos/Gabe Dickens)

Workers from the Tartaglia Railway Service of Syracuse do some scheduled maintenance work on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad line between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. The Town of North Elba has agreed to pay for an economic-impact study of the potential use of the tracks. The study will look at the possibility of taking up the tracks and creating a recreational path for bicycles and snowmobiles. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year.(P-R Photo/Jack LaDuke)

Kindergartners Emma Collard (left) and Sayuri VanEer put their pumpkin plants into the ground in Westport Central School's newly created garden. The students planted pumpkins and sunflowers that they hope will be mature when school reconvenes in September. The pumpkins will be used for Halloween as well as for pies to be served in the school cafeteria. Long-range plans call for an expanded garden that will utilize compost from the cafeteria and produce a wider variety of fruits and vegetables for the school. High-school science teacher Jason Fiegl and some of his students assisted in creating the garden, which was financed by the Honeybee Community Fund and GardenShare. Other contributors were DaCy Meadow and Juniper Hill Farms, and Bessboro Builders, all of Westport. GardenShare gave a total of 10 grants to schools around the North Country, among them Bloomingdale Elementary, too.(Staff Photo/Alvin Reiner)
