This Joker’s not wild, but he is unsettled. But what would you expect from a young australian Cattle dog mix who lost his family and found himself in a shelter? Joker came to the shelter when his family was unable to care for him. he’s under two years old, and weighs about forty-five pounds. Australian Cattle dogs were bred for droving cattle over long distances through rough terrain. They’re energetic, quick, cautious, independent, intelligent, sure-footed, active and agile. They need to be kept busy and they need a job to do. If you’re looking for a couch potato - keep looking! But if you’re active, love the outdoors, and are willing and able to give this special dog the outlets he needs to use his brain and energy, Joker is the dog for you - and that’s no joke!

The art of Scalamandré comes to Caz
Cazenovia will experience a first-hand view of the legendary Scalamandré mill and manufactory on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 2 p.m. at Hillcrest, the Jephson Estate.
Leslie Degeorges, former director of restoration and archives at Scalamandré, will present “The Art of Reproduction – Three Generations of Scalamandré Textiles, Trims, and Wallcoverings” and share her 25 years of experience with the firm under family ownership.
Scalamandré’s name is synonymous with the very finest quality of interior appointments and furnishings in America.
Franco Scalamandré came to America in 1923, and after only four years established a small weaving studio in Paterson, NJ. By 1929, his fine woven silk fabrics were in demand and the business expanded, relocating to a textile mill in Long Island City, NY.
The business coincided with a growing movement in the United States surrounding the restoration of historic houses and furnishings. He and his wife Flora, an educated designer, directed their talents into reproducing historic textiles – damask, lampas, as well as silks. Their custom reproductions can be found at numerous American landmarks and historic museums, including the White House, Monticello, Newport RI mansions -- and even at Cazenovia’s own Lorenzo.
“Hillcrest is the perfect setting for a look at Scalamandré’s beautiful creations. We’re delighted that Linda and Brian Osborne are offering us this venue for the program,” said Anne Ferguson of Cazenovia Heritage.
Seating is limited, and pre-registration for the program is required by calling 315-655-2092.

Next week Wednesday afternoon Cazenovia’s last Wednesday half-holiday of the season, there will be a big ball game at Lakeside Park.
The management has arranged for what is expected to be one of the best games of ball seen here this season.
All-Oneida will be the opposing team. This team hasn’t been defeated since they re-organized last July.
It is one of the strongest ones of Central New York, and as Cazenovia is now playing mighty good ball, a real contest is looked for. As this is to be a testimonial game, plan to attend and help cheer the team to victory.

In spite of the late spring, crops as a whole in the Cazenovia, Fenner, Nelson three-townships community are about up to average, say most farmers interviewed by a representative of The Republican.
Some crops aren’t so good as they should be but others are better than usual so that all in all the season has been far from the failure predicted during the extremely wet spring.
Hay is a bumper crop, one of the largest ever, due to the frequent rains in the spring. Barns are bulging to capacity and hundreds of tons haven’t been cut because of lack of storage and lack of good weather to get it in, rains spoiling much that already had been cut.
In spite of the fact that corn was planted late, and in some cases was planted twice because of once having been “rained out,” August’s excellent growing weather, hot days and nights, brought it along so fast it went from fair to a good crop – especially that on the well drained high lands.

The landfill fight in Nelson is over. At 2 p.m. Friday the Solid Waste Committee, chaired by Bernard T. Brown Jr., announced that the committee had dropped its option on the Riedl site in Nelson.
The committee issued the following statement: “At a meeting of the Solid Waste Committee held Friday, September 1, the committee decided to renew the option for the farm of Emory and Josephine Palmer in the Town of Lincoln. The committee decided not to renew the option for the Riedl site in the Town of Nelson and are seeking alternate sites in the area.”
Earlier on Friday Justice Paul Yesawich, presiding in Supreme Court at Cortland, turned down the request by the Nelson Preservation Committee for a temporary injunction against the proposed landfill at Stone Bridge Rd and Rt. 20 in Nelson, but also ordered the case continued.
Joe Schapiro, attorney for the Nelson group, said that would have meant a
