Only one animal would left Erin Rock hold it while she was visiting Peter Conte’s barn in Worcester and, so, “Self

Picture of Myself and a Chicken” was the 8-year-old’s only option.

The resulting photo won the youth category in the Otesgo Lake Trust’s annual photo contest. The 2011 competition was on the theme, “On The Farm, In The Garden.” (Erin won an hon-

orable mention in last year’s contest, “People and Trees.”)

Other winners of $100 prizes were:• In the amateur category, Robin Supak won

for “Sonia Sola, Arthur and Daisy, Nectar Hills Farm, Late August, 7 p.m.,” snapped just as the sun was about to sink behind the barn.

• In the professional category, Leah McDon-

ald won for “Curious Cows,” taken on a road-side in West Winfield.

Three times as many entries as last year – 92 – were submitted this year. Judges were Dave Kiehm of Oneonta and Richard Walker of West-ford. “Honestly, so many of these photographs could have taken the prize,” Kiehm said of the scope and quality of the work.

All the entries will be go on public exhibit at the Smithy Pioneer Gallery. An opening recep-tion is planned 5-7 p.m. Monday, May 21.

It was late February, and a short-lived snowstorm helped give maple pro-

ducers the cold night they were looking for. The next

day, the taps at Buck Hill Farm were running smoothly.

“Snow cover is helpful to keep that long thaw and freeze cycle going,” explained Sharon Collins, owner of the Delaware County maple syrup enterprise. “But I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter what happened last year or the

year before – there are signs to look for, like a high water table or ice on the pond, but you just never know.”

Though the season usu-ally runs from the beginning of March to the beginning of April, there have been years where the weather hasn’t

MAPLE/From B1exactly fit the maple farm-er’s calendar. In 1993, days before Sharon’s son Sam was born, the season didn’t start until April.

“Nothing happened all that winter,” she said. “And then it snowed on April 3. April 4, the sap started run-ning and it ran for 10 days straight.”

That day, Sam Collins, now 18, drilled the first hole in the maple Sharon planted to celebrate her

daughter Charlotte’s birth. The sap flowed easily out of the hole, but couldn’t be directed into the tap. A few adjustments, however, and the bucket fitted fine.

The point is, maple-syrup producers like Collins say, as long as the freeze-and-thaw cycle of the past couple of weeks continues, this relatively balmy winter will have no impact on their crop.

“We usually start on President’s Day weekend,

but even starting this week-end, I don’t feel like we fell too far behind,” Sharon said.

Dennis Hill of Shaver Hill Farm, Harpersfield, who supplies maple prod-ucts to Brooks BBQ and several local B&Bs from their 5,000 taps, echoed similar sentiments. “We’ve had these kinds of winters before and we’ll have them again,” he said. “But we won’t know the yield until May.”

It takes 40 gallons of sap at 2 percent sugar content to make a gallon of syrup,

and if the sugar content is less, the more sap is needed. “One year I only got 1.6 percent sugar,” said Dave Sullivan of Sullivan Maple, West Oneonta. “I had to use 55 gallons of sap.”

Sullivan started his taps two days before Sharon Col-lins. “The sap just ran out,” he said. “Friday I started the vacuum and I got 570 gallons of sap.”

Despite last year’s bru-tally cold conditions, it was also a good year for syrup, Sullivan said, and he keeps careful records on a plank of

wood hung in his sap house. “2010 was the worst year

anyone can remember,” he said, pointing to the mark-ings on his makeshift chart. “It started on March 3 and was finished by March 17 – the trees just shut right off. I made 47 gallons. I don’t think this year’s weather is going to effect it too much.”

The warm weather influ-enced some to get started early. Unlike Hill, Sullivan and Collins, Larry Rose-boom of Breezie Maples in Roseboom drilled his holes in mid-January. “We’ve

already had a couple of good rounds this year,” he boasted.

“We depend on Mother Nature completely,” said Mary Stannard of Stannard’s Maple Farm in Cherry Valley. “We need those 20 degree nights and 40 degree days.”

“If I was new to this, this winter would have driven me crazy,” said Collins. “But I’ve been in this busi-ness long enough to know that worrying doesn’t do any good.”

2 HOT OTSEGO COUNTY JOBS

&

Accomplishments—quAntified or not—plAy vitAl role!

Thanks for your helpful, practical insights about

résumés and job hunting. Would you please

address the matter of quantifiers? Certainly it is

valuable if one can present documented value

by quantifying achievements (such as growth

in sales or reduction in expenses), but what

about those of us who don’t have that kind of

achievement to document? Perhaps you could

identify quantifiable events we haven’t thought

of or alternatives if our work doesn’t produce

documented metrics. – Duane

Dear Duane: That’s an excel-lent question, and one I field quite often when candidates find it difficult to discern their own value via quantified achievements. While it is great to have quantifiable accom-plishments on a résumé, I understand that sometimes it just isn’t possible. Whether it is because the quantifiers are not impressive and wouldn’t position one correctly for the opportunities they were pur-suing, or if as you suggested, the company simply doesn’t document such metrics, there are often times when adding quantifiers is not possible. Typically however, one can add achievements to their résumé of a more qualitative nature.

Let me give you some ex-amples of great achievements that are not quantified:

· Motivated and mentored cross-functional team mem-bers to hold accountability for performance goals, support clients and peers, and model a sense of empowerment to exceed service objectives.· Selected to serve as one of three trainers facilitating field training for new sales associ-ates, introducing company processes, systems, products, and sales and marketing methodologies.

· Noted as a competent project leader and asked by several departments to assist with special initiatives based on extensive knowledge of accounting, consumer fraud, and customer service.· Enhanced effectiveness by organizing information, track-ing cases, fielding client con-cerns, and supporting legal proceedings within personal injury, contract, entertain-ment, and sports law arenas.

While none of these achieve-ments are quantified, they still present where the candidate went above and beyond and added value to the organiza-tion.

Try perusing old performance reviews to jog your memory as to where you have gone above and beyond, ask your friends and family if they remember times you came home from work particularly excited about a project or task you had accomplished, or even ask your references to discuss areas in which they felt you excelled. Sometimes it takes those around us to tell us what we do best! Use this insight to guide the develop-ment of the accomplishments on your résumé and remem-ber, quantifiers are nice but accomplishments can be just as effective without numbers.
