The other day, Robin Tauck counted 12 terrapin turtle nests on the beach at Compo Cove. Each nesting site has dozens of turtle eggs. Robin worries that walls on nearby properties confuse the mothers, making it difficult to find a place to nest.

Yesterday, Patty Kondub held her last outdoor Aqua Fitness class ever at the old Camp Mahackeno pool.
It will be open for only a few more days. Then camp is over, the Y closes for cleaning, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held, bulldozers move in, and a big new complex will be built.
Kathie Motes Bennewitz says she’ll miss it. The pool reminds her of when she first moved here in the late 1970s.
In honor of the last session, she and her Aqua Fitness classmates tried to spell “YMCA” with their noodles (front).
Meanwhile, she wonders if “no chicken fights” will make it onto the new rule board next summer.
