was wood to move to the house, primer to be applied, a large image to be
transferred and painted, and then the return trip to school. Caps needed to be
washed and dried. Drills, special screws, and lots of volunteers later, every
student made this wonderful mural come to life. Something that isnt thought of
as much, maybe not at all (unless you need to remove the cap before placing in
the recycling machine) became a wonderful, beautiful piece of art. For more
projects involving caps visit artgrange.com. This definitely gave me some
inspiration. I hope you are inspired as well. As we become Environmentally
Literate Citizens, lets keep in mind those little things in the waste stream and see
if maybe they are useful in some other way. Im looking forward to seeing
everyone at the annual conference October 20-23, 2011.

The Extraordinary Spirit of Green
Chimneys: Connecting Children

Ross honest, thorough look at the
struggles and successes of a
pioneering educational institution
blends memoir and history. From
humble beginnings as a private
school for 11 students in 1948, Green
Chimneys has expanded and evolved
as a non-profit social service agency
with nearly 750 acres in Putnam
County, New York, serving almost
200 students, as well as community
residents and weekend visitors from
neighboring communities and
throughout the world.
It is not what Green Chimneys does
well that counts, but how we respond
to peoples needs. It is this credo that
has enabled Mr. Ross to introduce
many innovations that truly have been
of service to his students. Student

need has essentially been what has
propelled the evolution of Green
Chimneys. Just as word traveled after
an itinerant minister of Colonel Henry
Breckinridge painted the propertys
chimneys and cupolas an
unconventional color, word traveled
far and wide about Green Chimneys
ability to educate students who have
not succeeded in more conventional
settings or schools. Green Chimneys
has successfully tried programs that
benefit the whole child decades
before other institutions have
embraced those changes, including
the year-round school plan with 223
instructional days divided over
trimesters, which the school adopted
in 1966. His best practices for year-
round schooling provides a blueprint
for others looking to implement an
alternative school schedule.
Additionally, he outlines how poetry
and a campus-wide job
training/apprenticeship program
helped foster a community of
learners.
In order to make the improvements
that were best for his students, Ross
encouraged his staff to attend
conferences. The American
Association of Childrens Residential
Centers showed that all staff on
campus played an important role in
the day-to-day care of residential
children. The New York State Outdoor
Education Association provided staff
with additional ways to integrate the
outdoors throughout the curriculum
and daily living. These opportunities
helped elevate the professional
caliber of Ross staff, generations of
whom have gone on to successful
outdoor education careers throughout
the state and Northeast. These in-
roads have also forged the way for
additional accreditations,
partnerships, and conferences. For
example, the cooperative relationship
with Mercy College of Dobbs Ferry
has led to animal-related and
education courses on the grounds of
Green Chimneys, as well as a
Humane Education Conference.
This continuing commitment to
excellence has led Green Chimneys
to where it is today. While the school
originally served ages 3 to 6 with the
dream of raising young children
together with animals, Green
Chimneys has stayed true to that
spirit but has evolved into a small,
structured, and therapeutically
supportive setting for residential and
day students from K 12. Designed
for students unsuccessful in a
traditional educational setting due to
emotional and developmental
challenges, students are referred by
their home school districts in
southeastern New York State and
western Connecticut. Also, some
parents have chosen to pay privately
for their childs tuition. In addition to
support from the various school
districts, the school is funded by
corporate sponsorships, tuition,
donations, and non-profit
organizations.
To date, the agency is considered the
strongest and most diverse of its kind
involving farm, animal, plant and
wildlife-assisted activities.
In telling his story, Ross also shares
the stories of other organizations,
groups, and movements. The story of
Green Chimneys, in this regard,
incorporates the inclusion of persons
with special needs, community-
supported agriculture, animal-assisted
therapy, and other related programs.
Ross also provides his insights about
fundraising and reflects on how some
of the challenges related to facilities
management are among the most
unexpected and serious challenges
faced by an institution. The book
concludes with an appendix that is a
valuable tool for any organization
looking to review a proposal for a new
project. The extensive chronology
outlines key shifts made as well as
awards, accomplishments, and
partnerships. A list for further reading
shows the breadth and depth of Ross
contributions in various related
subjects over several decades. A
missing index to this wealth of
information would have been most
useful and could be a welcome
addition to future print and online
versions.
Sharing over six decades of
experience, Ross story is a blend of
history and how-to. His book is an
excellent reference and should be on
the shelf of schools and organizations
looking to achieve a vision and
maintain a long-term mission while
adapting to changing circumstances.
Green Chimneys has truly become
an oasis amongst a changing
landscape, and hopefully Ross rich
contribution will provide insight and
inspiration to help others successfully
navigate these changes and
challenges for decades to come.

 WALKING AMONGST GIANTS
This photo from 1974 features Harlan "Gold"
Metcalf, first Art and Literary award recipient.
Photo Credit: Frank Knight
It was November, 1976. I was in Cortland, NY
to attend the annual Recreation Conference
held at the college. While having lunch with Dr.
Marcia Carlson I casually mentioned (OK,
begged might be more like it) that Id love to
help with the departments annual outdoor
education class held each spring at Raquette
Lake. As a student my experience at Camp
Huntington, SUNY Cortlands outdoor education
center, was the highlight of my academic career.
At that point in my life, the best way to pay it
forward was to pay back all that I had received.
So it was with great joy that I disembarked from
the boat onto the camp dock the following
spring. During my previous stay a new interest,
Adirondack history, was piqued. Now, because
of my staff status, the opportunity to explore the
many nooks and crannies of the camps myriad
buildings presented itself. While exploring I
th
learned not only about the 19 century
luminaries that made Pine Knot Point, the
facilitys original name, famous, but I discovered
a direct connection to NYs premier outdoor
education organization; the NYSOEA.
While on a canoe trip in 1947, Dr. Harlan Gold
Metcalf, came upon this retreat hidden in the
woods along the shore. From the seat of his
canoe he could make out trees growing from
building roofs. But he also foresaw the outdoor
education facility SUNY Cortland was searching
for. Some initial research gave Dr. Metcalf the
information he needed to contact the owner of
the camp; Archer Milton Huntington. After the
preliminary correspondence a meeting between
the two gentlemen was agreed to. To quote
Paul Harvey, the rest of the story would take a
book but suffice to say, both parties worked
together to make the transfer of the camp from a
private retreat to a public college facility a
reality.
Page 5 of 8
The following summer hosted the first camp for
students in the Recreation Department. Under
the leadership of Dr. Metcalf these young man
cleaned buildings, built latrines and established
water lines while engaging in educational
sessions on conservation, camp crafts, archery
and other appropriate topics. Within this first
group of students was a future outdoor educator
of note by the name of George Fuge. His hard
work, along with his peers, put the new center
on a firm foundation for the future.
By now I trust most people have recognized at
least two of the individuals mentioned above.
Both Dr. Metcalf and George Fuge were
founding fathers of the NYSOEA. Our most
prestigious award is named in honor of the
former gentleman and our organizations first
president was the latter. Their collective
connection to both the NYSOEA and Cortlands
outdoor education center cannot be separated.
As forerunners in the field, they were on the
cusp of the relationship that developed between
these two entities. Other well known and
respected outdoor educators who have
continued along this path include Dr. Marcia
Carlson, Jay Cummings, Joe Pierson and Dr.
Anderson Young. Each has had a direct
influence on the Raquette Lake outdoor
education center while also making positive
contributions to the NYSOEA. It is these giants
of our profession that Ive had the privilege of
working with, and following in the steps of,
throughout my teaching career at Camp
Huntington. While I may never reach their
heights, I am the better for following in their
footsteps.
Until next time, may all your rambles lead you to
new and exciting places.

Skipping under the pebbles and speckled stomachs of the newts
Shades laughing with delight as their fluid bodies change
To the hue of skies, of pine needles and sunburned soil.
When the river twists from side to side with the movement of a

Water sprays out, like small parachuted florets, and people blink
Then catch the droplets in their hands, making a wish
For World Peace, The Jackpot or some Great Big Shiny Future.
I wade into the river
Hug it, soft, pure liquid, it licks my arms
Wets the whiteness of my knuckles, the half-moons of my ankles
Exchanges colors, swiftly, happily, with my eyes
So that everything and nothing is the tint of blue, green, brown
The river runs, eternal, under and above the ground
Engulfing the wrinkly skin of Mother Earth
And the country is an island embraced bysay itaitch two oh.

HUNTERS VS.
CONSERVATIONISTS
Rocker Ted Nugent: Hunters Are Conservationists
Interview by Tom Foreman
We, as humans, have lead to the extinction of
many animals and the destruction of countless
acres of land. Due to our rate of consumption and
depletion of the Earths resources we hear a lot
about conservation these days. People from all
walks of life are recognizing that something needs
to be done to preserve the Earth that we live on.
Hunters are some of those people. But can
someone who kills animals in nature also be a force
in protecting those same animals?
In his interview with Tom Foreman, Ted Nugent
believes that hunters are conservationists. He
believes that throughout history hunting has been
necessary for survival and those hunters are the
same people who look out for the land; they put
value on wild ground. But can someone who kills in
nature protect nature?

- JESSICA KRATZ
ACCESSING NYSOEAS RICH
ARCHIVAL PAST [OR HERITAGE]
Here I am in that lovely lull between the end of the school
year and the beginning of camp. This is a great time to
pause and reflect. The year 2011 has put me in a
historical frame of mind, as my beloved borough of Staten
th
Island is celebrating its 350 anniversary. As part of this
celebration, I have found myself spending hours in
museum archives, looking at places I thought I knew and
viewing my hometown through new eyes. Last summer,
inspired by Karen Robertson, who, along with Mary Miller,
completed an extensive physical and digital compilation of
NYSOEA conference booklets, I started inquiring about a
digital archive for our organization, as we too have
decades of history. MaryLynne Malone, Frank Knight,
Darleen Lieber, and several others searched for past
issues of Pathways (and its predecessors). Countless
hours of scanning and posting to the social publishing site
Scribd has made dozens of Pathways articles available to
us right from the nysoea.org homepage! Since they put all
this work into the project, the least I could do is read
through the archives and write about it.
If you havent yet explored Scribd, youre in for a treat.
st
This 21 century website, Scribd www.scribd.com sits at
the confluence of social networking and online publishing.
The site offers you the opportunity to read articles posted
and recommended by your friends, as well as to peruse
and publish presentations, recipes, resumes, book
excerpts, event flyers, and much more. It is a great way to
promote your business or organization and develop an
online institutional history.
In order to peruse the archives, all I needed to do was
make sure I opened the website through Google Chrome
instead of my usual browser, take some notes, and allow
the experience to sink in. One of the first things I noticed
was the continuity within the organization. Some names
are mentioned in nearly every issue. For some families,
Page 8 of 8
such as the Roosa and Hopkins families, the organization
is a family affair, with two or more generations playing an
active role. One of the other things I noticed is how well
Pathways has documented each technological step the
organization has taken: from a webpage to listserv to
Yahoo Groups and now Facebook and other social
networking. It seems that each of these technological
steps seems to coincide with a change of the look of the
newsletter, and over time, the document has become
more digital, more colorful, and the graphics have helped
to maintain the cohesion. Looking at some of the amber-
hued newsletters from the 1990s, with longer articles and
black-and-white photographs complemented by pen-and-
ink illustrations, I truly admire the cohesiveness around
themes and concepts, such as partnerships and
families. One of my favorite pairings is the spring 1994
pairing of Bruce Matthews feature article, Fishing for
Environmental Education with Maxwell Corydon Wheat
Jr.s poem Casting.
I also found some of the items to be unintentionally
humorous, such as the red-and-green boxer shorts from
the NYSOEA store in the Summer 1999 issue. Times have
certainly changed, but some of the questions asked in
previous issues still face us today, such as How can we
attract more college students and professors?
Pathways has also provided a visual testament to the rich
literary legacy that exists in the organization. A good
number of the article contributors and publication
committee members have subsequently gone on to
publish books, and some, including Dan Kriesberg, Brian
J. Heinz, Kathy Ambrosini, and Samuel B. Ross Jr., have
had their books reviewed in Pathways. Hopefully, this
years inaugural Authors Corner will showcase even more
of the organizations literary talent.
My final thought is about the prescience and profound
perspective within the Presidents Messages. From
Snapper Pettas summer 1998 commentary about making
Pathways a more timely and cost-efficient newsletter to
Heather Chadwicks remark in Summer 2001 about the
world on speed dial, the comments have proven to be
incredibly insightful and timely.
But my favorite find is MaryLynnes advice from the Fall
2001 issue, written shortly after 9/11:
Sit back. Look out the window. Start thinking about
things like the fact that the sun is going to rise and set
today. For as long as they are on this earth we should
cherish the time we spend with those around us.
Take a walk, find a rock or log, and sit down for a
while For no good reason, plan a date with your
parents, spouse, or your child;
May you find your own insights, inspiration, and joy from
the online archive. The search will certainly be time well
spent.
