High honors and a slice

Between their stellar academic achievements and the beautiful spring weather, Webutuck High School (WHS) Principal Katy McEnroe couldn’t have asked for a nicer day to celebrate the students who achieved the Principal’s Honor Roll for the third marking period on Tuesday, May 10. McEnroe invited the 10 students honored for their high marks to a pizza lunch held in the WHS Library at 12:30 p.m. Savoring their pizza and lemonade, the students spent the afternoon catching up with McEnroe before returning to their classes. From left are some of the students who achieved the honor, including Ethan Rebideau, Olivia Wickwire, Jordyn Thorne, Andrew Dorfschmidt, Morgan Sprague and Carrissa Whitehead.

Magic Fluke Ukulele Shop and True Wheels Bicycle Shop are not only under the same roof in a beautiful solar powered building on Route 7 in Sheffield, but they are also both run by the Webb family, telling a tale of familial passion, innovation and a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

In the late ‘90s, Dale Webb was working in engineering and product design at a corporate job. “I took up instrument manufacturing as a fun challenge,” said Dale. After an exhibit at The National Association of Music Merchants in Anaheim, California, in 1999, The Magic Fluke company was born. “We were casting finger boards and gluing these things together in our basement in New Hartford and it just took off,” Dale explained. “It was really a wild ride, it kind of had a life of its own.”
