The Enterprise — Melissa Hale-Spencer

Slice of life: A boy, far left, makes a jungle gym of a bike rack while a girl, Natalie Dodge, 4, far right, sits on a park bench last Friday on the edge of the village green in Altamont. In between is an old-fashioned lemonade stand, staffed by Altamont Elementary kindergartners, part of a nationwide mission — Alex’s Lemonade Stand — to raise funds to fight childhood cancer. Kindergartner David Dodge, sporting a yellow kerchief, is posted in front of the stand, ready to help customers. While his mom, Kelly Dodge, gets a hug from her friend, Bill Dvorscak. Another kerchiefed classmate clings to a lamppost while keeping a lookout for future patrons as Principal Peter Brabant, his chin in his hand, takes in the scene that looks as if it could have been painted by Norman Rockwell.
