Gracie Jefferies didn’t expect to visit, eye to eye, with a gray rat snake.

But that was her unexpected treat Friday, Jan. 13, when she was the first beneficiary of a close encounter with reptiles in her after-school session at the Olive Tree Care Center.

“We are planning to set up presentations by different community resources as part of our program,” said Kristy Spreng, director of Olive Tree. “The visit today by Kyle Casey, naturalist at Mohican State Park, was the first session in this program.”

Casey provided the dozen or more students at Olive Tree, which offers before and after school care for students in grades K-6, an interesting and at times entertaining presentation on Ohio reptiles as the inaugural program.

The program started off quietly enough, with Casey unpacking a box filled with various turtle shells, ranging from tiny ones, about three inches long, to huge and scary snapping turtle shells, a foot or more around.

After talking about the shells, he went to a plastic tote and pulled out a live turtle, a box turtle, one of the species most commonly found in Ohio, and discussed its characteristics.

“This is a girl turtle,” he said. “You can tell by the shape of their shells. Females are higher and more rounded, while male turtles have flatter shells.”

Shells that turtles carry on their backs are for protection, and if for some reason a shell is broken, a turtle will grow another, Casey told the children.

After packing the female turtle back in his tote, he pulled a more exciting creature out of it, a gray rat snake, about long.

Who’d have thought a pickle hunt would evolve into a much-anticipated community event?

It’s happening in Loudonville, where the Mohican Historical Society is gearing up for its 10th annual hun. The society, borrowing on a very old and not very well-known tradition of hunting for pickles at Christmastime, has turned it into an exciting and entertaining, tradition.

In many towns, the holidays often bring about excitement for tree lightings, parades and Santa visits. In the villages of Loudonville and Perrysville, those holiday activities are taking a back seat to pickles.

More specifically, residents are looking for pickles. The pickles, though, come with prizes.

The Pickle Hunt is promoted by the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum and sponsored by nearly a dozen businesses.

According to the museum’s curator, Kenny Libben, the event has century-old origins rooted in a Victorian-era tradition of hiding a pickle in the tree on Christmas morning, with the first child to find it receiving an extra gift.

Pickle clues are highly sought-after by game players

Though that tradition has largely faded away, it is once again popular, at least in the Mohican area, Libben said. The current version of the pickle hunt was developed by the museum nearly a decade ago, first introduced at private events where, Libben said, “It was a fun game that quickly became the focus for attendees.”

Seeing the positive response, the museum launched a community-wide pickle hunt with new pickles hidden throughout December, leading up to Christmas, and clues to their location posted on social media.

Libben said the rules are simple: A pickle is hidden, or “dropped,” somewhere in the Mohican area and a clue is posted on the Facebook group The Pickle Hunt. The first clues are vague, only giving a general…

Someone posted a note on “Williamstown Issues and Information” suggesting the Mohawk Trail, so labeled on new signs on the Williamstown bike path, wasn’t a good name because it could be confused with the automobile road and because we should consult with Native Americans before borrowing their names.

A response attracted a whopping 72 likes and 54 comments, some for or against the name but most dealing with “cancel culture” — that is, whether we’re being too fussy about the (mis)use of Native American names. As with athletic team mascots.

A Mohawk Trail sign recently appeared on the nearly completed bike path.

History is fun — and revealing.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation provisionally calls it the Mohawk Trail because initial funding came from grants associated with the automobile road. The road got its name, really, from a pageant held in North Adams to celebrate the state’s 1914 improvements to the way over the Hoosac Range. A scene in the pageant depicted the Mohawks’ 1665 trip over a foot path from their Hudson Valley home to drive the Pocumtucks from their Connecticut Valley home. Thus, settlers of European origin found the richest agricultural land in New England already cleared of trees and uncontested in what they called Deerfield.

Entrepreneurs in North Adams and those setting up gift shops, restaurants and cabins on the refurbished road took to the pageant’s “Indian” theme. Gradually, the state came around to following their lead, calling it the Mohawk Trail — even though, rather than Mohawks or Mohicans whose land the trail crossed, the businesses tended to favor Western Native Americans. Their removal and whites’ settlement of the West was fresher in peoples’ minds than Colonial days; the “Big Indian,” which gave its name to a…
