Guest Mini ColumnThe Skating PondBy RON MADISONThe sports of winter in a small town in New York called Tillson is a range of many. Most of all is skating. The people are mainly children who are looking toward winter.They have in winter a pond at the end of the small town. It is a small pond with swamp weeds all around it. It is mostly smooth and where it isn’t, it is because of people trying it out.iThe dog’s like to get in the action.The people have fun but some people like to wreck it when it is good. The people that like to skate rather like skating and skiing more than most other sports.Some people have had to leave the area for reasons of relocation. It is hoped that those who replace them will be the same kind of freedom-loving, sports-minded people, willing to preserve this fun enjoyed in the town.(Eleven-year-old Ron Madison, a sixth grader at Tillson School, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Madison of 3 Wallkill Avenue, Tillson. He has a red and white dog named Puddles who enjoys skating as much as he does.)
