Starting in January 2024, the GCACC Board will restructure its organization, eliminating its paid position and forgoing its brick-and-mortar tourism office at 95 Albany St.
The board voted to make the change on July 12, 2023.
“We believe tourism has changed and we want to change with the times,” said longstanding GCACC board member Barbara Houghton in a July 12 press release announcing the news. “This small sacrifice will allow more of our budget to be utilized to support local events on the ground level. We think this will have a huge impact on being able to enact some real change in the community and we are excited for the future.”
Upon learning of the planned restructuring, Mayor Kurt Wheeler said the village will strive to continue to support and collaborate with the GCACC — whatever form it may take — for the benefit of the local economy and community.

According to the GCACC, the change also represents a rebranding opportunity.

The organization recently launched “Caz Life,” a marketing and events committee dedicated to fostering local business development, promoting tourism, and implementing effective marketing strategies to enhance the vibrancy and economic growth of the village.

“The chamber has always been a great resource for businesses in Cazenovia, and in that sense, nothing will change,” said GCACC Secretary Beth Fragale in the press release. “We learned from COVID19 that businesses need to be able to adapt quickly in order to survive, and we think it is imperative to give them the support they need to see them thrive. We want to make Cazenovia a welcoming environment for new businesses and also continue to work together to strengthen our existing businesses.”

On July 1, the Cazenovia Public Library (CPL) received a $2,250 grant from the Jim & Juli Boeheim Foundation to help fund the fall 2023 through spring 2024 Snuggle Up & Read program, a collaborative community initiative organized by CPL, Burton Street Elementary School, and CazCares food pantry and clothing closet.
The program will provide 40 lowincome Burton Street families with a set of three books along with a special family snack, reading tips, and guiding questions.

According to CPL Youth Services Coordinator Jenna Wright, the most recent statistics from the New York State Education Department Data Site show that 110 students at Burton Street receive free or reduced-price lunches, and data from the United States Census Bureau show that over 10 percent of Madison County residents were living in poverty as of July 2021.

Cazenovia Heritage launches self-guided architecture tour
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230718190132-229fd1f7df5e06b7a3ba3776e6abeafc/v1/ebffecfa86d42f692d4539a8ad832fc6.jpeg)
On July 15, Cazenovia Heritage launched a self-guided driving tour as part of “Caz230,” the organization’s yearlong celebration of 230 years of Cazenovia architecture.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230718190132-229fd1f7df5e06b7a3ba3776e6abeafc/v1/cb6235dd79706d3e0b0cb064a390dc2a.jpeg)
The tour features 16 homes, each marked with a sign, along a route that travels through both the village and the town. The trip takes about an hour and can be taken anytime through July 30.
According to Cazenovia Heritage, the tour features nearly all the architectural styles found in Cazenovia over the last 230 years, from federal to contemporary, and it includes examples of how specific styles were expressed formally and then adopted and/or adapted by people of more modest means.
Recognizing that many locals are already familiar with Cazenovia landmarks like “Lorenzo,” “Notleymere,” and the “Hillcrest” Jephson Estate, Cazenovia Heritage set out to design a tour that highlights homes in a variety of neighborhoods and in the surrounding farmland.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230718190132-229fd1f7df5e06b7a3ba3776e6abeafc/v1/d5af96cdb5fb7eca5b456e18ca8b31d5.jpeg)
“We wanted to showcase homes that are often overlooked when talking about Cazenovia’s rich inventory of historical architecture, as well as its glorious examples,” said Cazenovia Heritage President Anne Ferguson.
The organizers hoped to include New Woodstock homes on the tour but were unable to secure the owners’ permissions in time to add the buildings to the map.
According to Ferguson, Carl Stearns, partner emeritus in Crawford & Stearns Architects and Preservation Planners, presented a series of well-attended Caz230 programs this past spring focused on the features associated with each of Cazenovia’s architectural styles.
“The tour gives participants a chance to apply what they learned, but just in case, we’ve noted the architectural features that describe the style,” she said. “In certain cases, a feature may have been removed as people adopted the ‘latest’ style, but you can see where it was if you know where to look, and [it] often suggests its actual age.”
A kick-off event for the driving tour was held on July 15 at the Cazenovia Public Library.

Attendees received a map that provides a photo, address, suggested route, and style description for each house on the route. The map can be downloaded from Cazenovia Heritage’s website until July 30.

The group was also introduced to Claire Buchinger, a first-year graduate student in Cornell University’s Historic Preservation Planning program, who is interning with Cazenovia Heritage this summer.
Through a grant jointly funded by Cazenovia Heritage and Cornell, Buchinger is conducting a summer-long architectural reconnaissance survey that examines the history of the working-class people living within the boundary lines of Albany Street to Corwin Street and east of Lincklaen Street to Sims Lane.
According to Cazenovia Heritage, the
neighborhoods in this area of the village grew up around a wool mill and a paper mill.
“The survey emphasizes the relationship between social identity and its influence on local architecture, or how the socioeconomics of the neighborhood was reflected in the character-defining features of the property, and how those changed over the years,” said Buchinger. “The purpose of this architectural reconnaissance survey is to establish a general foundation for later architectural research regarding the neighborhood’s construction practices and to foster a greater understanding and appreciation for architectural integrity amongst homeowners, residences and visitors.”
During the July 15 event, Cazenovia Heritage recruited volunteers to help the organization describe the socioeconomic development of the neighborhoods in Buchinger’s study area. According to Ferguson, some volunteers will research census records to identify occupations from 1850 to 1880 and to identify settlers from 1800 to 1840. Others will search online archived issues of the Cazenovia Republican for news related to the inhabitants. Follow-up meetings are anticipated to compare volunteers’
results.
A presentation of Buchinger’s findings, as well as those of the volunteers, is targeted for this winter.

The Gustav Stickley House at 438 Columbus Ave. in Syracuse will host a “Cazenovia Day” on Saturday, July 29.
Located in the city’s Westcott neighborhood, the three-story house was the home of designer and furniture maker Gustav Stickley, who is known as the father of the American Arts and Crafts movement. The interior, which Stickley designed, is regarded as the first comprehensive American Craftsman residential interior in the United States.
The exterior of the house was recently restored, and the interior is undergoing restoration. Although the building is currently closed to the public, it will be open to Cazenovia residents for brief tours at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
On Saturday, Aug. 5, the Cazenovia Public Library and Cazenovia Heritage will present a hands-on workshop for kids exploring architectural concepts in Cazenovia buildings. The program is for ages

will become a part of their ever-growing background knowledge,” CPL explained in its grant application. “Our goal is to provide these families with a selection of vocabulary- and image-rich books that will provide [them] with a glimpse into experiences beyond their front door.”
The books selected for this year’s Snuggle Up & Read program are “The Lost Package” by Richard Ho, “Mousetronaut” by Mark Kelly, and “Shark Nate-O” by Tara Luebbe and Becky Cattie.
According to Wright, these titles were selected with the intention of inspiring and appealing to all kids in kindergarten through fourth grade, providing the students with narrative nonfiction text, and increasing their knowledge and vocabulary in specific content areas.
“Literacy research indicates that children benefit from reading texts that are rich in vocabulary and content knowledge, both of which support the development of language comprehension,” she said.
Wright also said the program organizers hope the books will serve as motivation for families to carve out time to sit down and read together.

“In some instances, this may look like caregivers reading to their children, or Englishspeaking students reading to their non-English speaking caregivers,” she said.
CPL has been working over the past several months with Burton Street teachers, the school’s mental health team, and the administration to create a program that will complement and enhance the social-emotional learning work that the elementary students are already doing.

According to second-grade teacher Julie Kielbasinski, Burton Street students participate in monthly assemblies focused on character traits such as honesty, respect, caring, responsibility, and kindness. They also engage in daily social-emotional activities in the classroom to
reinforce their understanding of concepts like empathy, a growth mindset, goal setting, and dealing with stressors.
“For many of these lessons, a carefully chosen picture book is the catalyst and leads to the development of new vocabulary and productive discussions,” Kielbasinski said. “[Snuggle Up & Read] is another way to put intentionally selected content- and vocabulary-rich books directly into the hands of the families that need them the most — those with English as a new language and families receiving support from our Burton Street social worker.”
According to Wright, the guiding questions in each family’s book kit include not only questions that check for literal comprehension but also questions that facilitate conversation about feelings between caregiver and child or between siblings. Such questions might prompt the students to consider what the problem in the story makes them think about in their own life, how they are like the main character and how they are different, how the setting of the story compares to where they live, what specific things they noticed, and what they wonder about.
CazCares, which is based at 101 Nelson St, is providing the snacks for the take-home kits.

“We hope that some of these families who might not take advantage of the many free services provided at CazCares — groceries, clothing including coats, school supplies, holiday meals, [and] emergency assistance — will learn more about these offerings and will feel more comfortable visiting,” said Wright. “. . . [Additionally,] we will encourage these families to engage with both the library and CazCares through a series of follow-up questions, check-ins, and information that will be available for them to access online or via text message.”

Boating season
As Central New York experiences summer, one of the activities commonly enjoyed across the Finger Lakes region is boating.
Whether it is a one person kayak or a canoe, fishing or water skiing, or even a languid scenic venture along the waterways, it is likely there will be numerous boats out on the region’s many lakes this summer.
While boating in any form should be an enjoyable activity, it is also one that should be safe for all who are out on the water.
With this in mind it is often deputies from the sheriff’s department that are assigned to patrol the regions waterways and ensure safety as well as that rules and regulations are being adhered to.
One of the things these units will be on the lookout for is activity that arouses suspicion of intoxication.
According to the sheriff’s office, alcohol is the number one factor in recreational boater deaths.
Like operating a vehicle on the road, operating a boat on the water, requires the same attention to traffic, people and conditions and requires the same amount of attention and clarity to operate in a safe manner.
The sheriff’s office website also provides other regulations people should keep in mind.
To operate a motorboat an operator can be as young as 10 or under with a person 18 or older on board, if you are between 10 and 18 years old and have a person 18 or older on board, or if you hold a safety certificate and people are 18 years old or older.
The same regulations as apply to boats apply to personal water craft such as jet skis according to the sheriff’s office and operators must complete a boating safety course, the operation of these craft is prohibited from sunset to sunrise, operators and passengers must wear personal flotation devices and an engine cutoff lanyard must be attached to the operator.
Other regulations state that vessels should also be equipped with a fire extinguisher.
Vessels must display their navigation lights at all times between sunset and sunrise, and during daylight periods of reduced visibility.
Personal flotation devices are mandatory and should be in good working order free from tears or any other damage that may inhibit their effectiveness.
It is also recommended that craft carry first aid supplies, oars/paddles and spare lines as well as binoculars.
Operators should also be aware of local ordinances that may impose regulations on speed
It is also important to note, in an effort to curb the spread of invasive species, the New York State DEC has implemented cleaning programs with washing stations at or near boat launches.
Boats, trailers, waders and other fishing and boating equipment can spread aquatic invasive specie s from waterbody to waterbody unless properly cleaned, dried or disinfected after use.
Although some invasive species such as water milfoil are readily visible to the human eye, many others are too small to be readily noticed.
To avoid spreading invasive species please follow the guidelines in the following steps: check, clean, drain, dry and disinfect.
The most effective method to ensure that no invasive species or fish diseases are transported to a new body of water is to completely dry your boating and fishing equipment. The key, according to the DEC is to make certain that equipment is completely dry before using it in a new water body.
Drying times vary significantly depending upon the type of equipment, air temperature and relative humidity.
While the outside of a boat will dry relatively rapidly, bilge, live wells and other areas of a boat not reached by the sun or lacking good air circulation will take additional time to dry completely. A minimum of five to seven days drying time in dry, warm conditions is recommended.
WE All SCREAM foR …
Thomas Jefferson wanted to be remembered as “author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia. I would like to add that he is also credited to be the person who popularized ice cream in the United States. His original ice cream recipe still remains available online.
I am one of those for whom Ice cream is a key part of the food pyramid, a much loved confection that can be savored and critiqued. Like most things, it all goes back to my childhood.
They cost five cents. Our mother and father were ice cream aficionados and so our begging for ice cream was often heard by giving us the money to go to Pop’s candy store on the corner of 55th and 3rd Avenue to buy Dixie Cups, little four-ounce paper cups with lift-off paper lids filled with mostly vanilla ice cream. They also included the affectionately-remembered wooden flat spoon used to scrape the ice cream into a form that we could eat. Now, this isn’t widely known, but my siblings and I saw that wooden spoon as a bonus; not only could we use it in our make-believe play as a piece of flatware, but when you had a loose tooth, it would be the device that would free the tooth engendering a visit from the tooth fairy who would leave 10 cents under our pillows … 10 cents would buy two more Dixie Cups. It was a crude version of “cash back” for those under 10 in Brooklyn a long time ago.
I saw Dixie Cups again in the freezer section of a grocery store just last week. I don’t’ think they were the “Dixie Cups” brand as such, but the same cup form, multiples packed in a plastic bag, without wooden spoons. Maybe they gave you the spoons when you checked out. I didn’t pursue this line of questioning because my love off ice cream was now fulfilled by other offerings in that same freezer section. Half gallons or cartons that looked like half gallons offering multiple flavors of the dessert. “Monkey paws, Orange sunset, Key Lime,” etc. - exotics to tempt the consumer.
As tempting as the many brands and flavors are, the offerings are not the same quality. If you purchased a
Critical of Olson
To the editor:
Mark Olson has not posted on his Onondaga County Legislator page since August 2022. Recently he broke his silence with a post about his favorite candy. Candy? Seriously?
In addition to his full-time job as a salesman, Mr. Olson collects two salaries funded by cash-strapped taxpayers. He is both the long-term mayor of the village of Fayetteville and the county legislator for the 10th district. The village is encompassed within that county leg district.
In Onondaga County there are thousands of children being poisoned by lead every day! It is an emergency – but it is not treated as one. We consistently rank first in child poverty nationwide, but the county fails, year after year, to change that ranking. Our infrastructure sorely needs millions in investments. We need affordable and low-income housing, quality childcare, and a mass transit system that meets the needs of a city on the verge of historic change.
But the county executive wants a frivolous aquarium. Olson was the 9th and deciding vote on the $85 million aquarium, despite his constituents being against it 10 to one, as he reported publicly. Mr. Olson voted recently to spend an additional $1.7 million to buy polluted land in the Inner Harbor for the aquarium without an appraisal. The return on this investment will take over 100 years to repay and the county has not released a business plan to prove the wisdom of this expenditure.

half gallon of ice cream and allowed it to melt (and who does that on purpose?) you can compare it with other melted half gallons. There are significant differences because of the amount of air or “overload” that the ice cream maker beats into the basic ingredients. Less air, more ingredients, equals a creamier mouth feel and, in my mind, a better ice cream.
How do I know this? When I was in high school, I worked three summers at a venue in Lake Carmel that made and sold frozen custard. The custard mix was rich with eggs and cream and would make a superior product. The degree of superiority was determined by how much air was added as the giant machines churned the mix into frozen custard. My boss was adamant about producing the most superior product. Eating that ice cream was a pleasure played out in taste and how long a cone would last.
You can also judge how much overload was used in making any ice cream by seeing how fast it melts.
Seeking really good ice cream is a side hobby of mine which has contributed to my sides, my front and my back, but that is another story… related but not germane here. Once, when my spouse and I were on a tour in Italy, I found myself climbing the hill that led to the town of San Gimignano. Half way up this precipitous hill, I began to have chest pains.
“Oh, my God,” I worried. Am I having a heart attack?”
My spouse had long reached the town and disappeared. The rest of the tour group were scattered. I began to walk more slowly, thinking about my mortality and wondering how they would get my body home, when I spotted Gelateria Dondoli, a gelateria the guide had told us produced the best gelato in Italy. OK, I figured, if I was having a coronary, I might as well go out enjoying the best gelato in Italy. So, I went in and bought the biggest cone that I could. I sat in the ancient town square and ate my gelato, the strains of sad melodies in my head. The pain disappeared with the first lick. A side note, it was the Howitzer style coffee that I had for breakfast that had awoken my esophageal problems. The cool gelato calmed the angry cells
FROM THE MAILBAG
Mr. Olson is neglecting his responsibility to exercise due diligence in ensuring public funds are well spent on that contaminated land. Prove to the public that the land was cleaned up according to the agreement between the seller and the city of Syracuse. There is a great deal of information that is unknown – and for some odd reason, hard to find. He should take a pause and proceed with serious deliberation rather than bend over backwards to please a developer eager to break ground without public scrutiny.
Perhaps if Mr. Olson had more time to devote to county business we would see his performance improve. It is not only unseemly to accept the salaries and benefits of two elected positions, there is a glaring conflict of interest. Mr. Olson should resign as mayor of Fayetteville and prove his focus outside of his sales job is on the more complicated issues before Onondaga County at a time of unparalleled change. Be a leader, not a follower.
Olson, like most in his party, votes as directed by the county executive. It makes his job easier and limits the amount of time he spends on county business. Mr. Olson has not held a single town hall, on his work as a county legislator, let alone the multiple town halls he promised publicly during his campaign, after winning the seat, and, in both village and town of Manlius meetings after the election.
Mr. Olson wants you to know his favorite candy though, and, he really

down. I credit the gelato for saving my day, if not my life. Gelato is a poster ice cream for low overload. So creamy tasting, it is made from milk rather than cream and churned slowly with practically no air added.
I often take my grandsons to the ice cream stand next to the Bowling Alley in Marcellus. On a hot day there is nothing like one of their “small” black raspberry cones to cool down your body and mind. Watching those boys enjoying their treats, laughing, giggling and exclaiming about the amount of ice cream they are eating is a gift I give myself. Of course, I will have had my own small cone too. If you haven’t partaken of said small cone, you are missing something that revises the meaning of small.
I have, in my mind, a list of places where I can find great ice cream. I recently added the Ice Cream Sandwich shop in Marcellus to that list which also includes … now these are my favorites …the Marcellus Lanes ice cream stand, Doug’s ice cream, Abbots Frozen Custard on Onondaga Boulevard in the city, the little shop in the building that houses the Chinese restaurant on Kasson Road across from Tops in Camillus and the Creamery in Caz. But there is one source of ice cream, no longer available, that makes me smile the most. I was working at Catholic Charities on the west end of Syracuse, about two city blocks from the legendary Marble Farms where, in the summer of 1979 I was with child, and craving ice cream. Marble Farms made the best ice cream, using fruits in season. That summer, I ate a giant waffle cone (is there any other kind?) filled with peach ice cream at least once a day, sometimes more than once a day.
One has to think of sampling a wide variety of ice creams as having historical and scientific connections. As you sample, you are recreating Thomas Jefferson’s delight as well as measuring how much air the maker added to the ingredients. Or … you could just admit, in all transparency, it just tastes so good

New Cazenovia community yard sale
To the editor:
Recently a few members of the Cazenovia community felt that there was a need to assist others in the greater Cazenovia area that are in need of housewares, furniture, books, electronics and other home and outdoor items but could not afford to purchase new items. Likewise there was a group of Cazenovia area residents that have these items in abundance and are interested in down-sizing. It seemed logical to solve two problems with one solution and the idea of a greater Cazenovia community yard sale was born.
The yard sale functions by members of the greater Cazenovia community donating their good reusable items to the sale on the first day and on the later days other community members make a cash donation to purchase these items. All proceeds from the yard sale would be donated to local and international charities.
The yard sale will be located on the south side of Route 20 just east of the village of Cazenovia. Community donations of good usable items will be accepted on Friday August 11 from 8am to 8pm and the sale will be Aug. 12-13-14.
Any individuals who would like to help with the sale can contact Tom Green at 315-655-3655 or they can

arrive at the sale site at the times they are available to help. Any local charity who might be interested in partnering with us to run the yard sale can also contact Tom Green. We are not able to accept clothing, mattresses, or large pieces of exercise equipment at this sale.
Sorry but we are unable to accept donations prior to Aug. 11.
toM GREEn CazenoviaPark or folly?
To the editor:
In the depth of the Great Depression, hunger causing dust storms bringing America to its knees—the Delphi Falls Park was first imagined. It wasn’t created for the privileged few. It was originally converted from cow pasture to two public pavilions with four by eight wooden shutters that let the public, come free, even in the rain and sit at the picnic tables.
On beautiful days—there were rows of picnic tables and small wood burning brick fire grills lined up all the way to the falls— free for public use. The park wasn’t built to turn a profit. The park was built by a Roosevelt’s CCC camp that housed and fed men who slept and ate at their CCC camp, built the falls public park with dignity and
able to send money home to their families weekly. They were careful when they built the stairs up the hills and the cinder paths above the cliffs not to disturb Native American burial grounds – but to have safe trails enabling walking tours of nature’s beauty. Our family was fortunate during the depression—my father, Big Mike Antil, was a baker—a partner in a bakery that baked 82,000 loaves of bread a day, seven days a week— servicing upstate New York, the then Pine Camp (now Fort Drum) and the bread lines that fed the hungry daily by the tens of thousands.
On a Sunday drive in the late 1930s my mom and dad bought the then vacant park and gifted the two farmers above the falls – acreage on either side of the second falls –to water their stock.
The plan was to move our family of ten from our 3-bedroom home on Helen Avenue in Cortland to the Delphi Falls and convert the pavilion into a home. The war effort halted construction. The park remained open for public picnicking –only charging companies for company picnics – or very inexpensive admission for local farmers to weekly round and square dances in the pavilion.
It became our home in 1947.
I remember my dad not allowing loggers to

bulldoze on top of the cliffs, possibly damaging Native American burial mounds – requiring them to pull logs out by horse.
I remember someone from a university offering two hundred thousand for the property in 1952. I remember Dad turning them down saying when Jim Brown was given a football scholarship because of his talent and not refused because of his skin color, he’d consider it.
Now guaranteed income for life parks department people – nice folks, mind you –but absentee planners building highways up cliffs… and subway-like concrete stone walls from soon to be demolished home to the falls –the barn too, for coming cold stone and glass white elephant like edifices for the privileged – soon competing with local businesses in the same community whose two-century old Cazenovia University closed its doors for good this year.
Delphi Falls or Madison County folly?
JERoME MARk Antil Judge
Moore
To the editor:
I was saddened to learn recently that former Cazenovia Town Judge Timothy Moore passed away. Tim Moore was a good lawyer, a good judge – and a good man. He was, in my opinion, the personification of how New York’s system of
local judging is supposed to work.
I think highly of his judging because of the way he mixed justice with mercy. I’ll give you an example which involves Judge Moore mitigating the draconian impact of a law depriving college students of financial aid for doing nothing more than smoking some pot. This is something which is now legal in New York but which, when Judge Moore was on the bench, wasn’t.
The law in question, a section of the federal Higher Education Act (HEA), denied loans, grants and even work study jobs to tens of thousands of students every year who have drug convictions. The law did not meaningfully distinguish between serious drug-related felonies and misdemeanors. In terms of student aid, the hapless marijuana smoker could be punished as harshly as a heroin dealer.
It was the pot smokers who got routinely hauled before Judge Moore – not the heroin dealers. He cut them a break first time around by letting them plead down to something innocuous. He did this because he was aware that the HEA hurt mostly lower income families by denying aid to those who need it the most.
Judge Moore took some heat for this exercise of judicial discretion. There was a strongly

critical editorial in this newspaper expressing outrage and suggesting that Judge Moore would keep treating repeat offenders leniently. This was silly. In my experience representing criminal defendants before him, it was a really bad idea to come back twice.
So there you have the measure of the man. Wise. Compassionate. And brave. He will be missed.

Melodramatic
To the editor:
Regarding the two mailbag letters in the recent Eagle Bulletin by Alicia Loomis and Prerna Deer, they both seem to have a bit of melodramatic exaggeration in their criticism of Moms for Liberty. Does Ms. Loomis have actual examples of this group openly harassing and intimidating people?
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230718190132-229fd1f7df5e06b7a3ba3776e6abeafc/v1/6ba781cb874ac72ecde729f8f0a32885.jpeg)
As for “stripping history,” Democrats and the Left are the ones creating new history with “The 1619 Project,” the tearing down of historical monuments and failing to bring out the true facts that Republicans fought to end slavery, Dems fought against ending it and created the KKK after the Civil War.
Moms for Liberty was started in response to this new movement that parents (who pay for the schools) do not have a say
in what is taught to their children and that parents who dare to state their views at school board meetings are terrorists who must be investigated by the DOJ. The new curriculums indoctrinating children with CRT and gender identity issues are serving to pit children against each other and totally confuse them. The group only wants books with explicit sexual and racial content to be withheld from young children whose developing minds cannot comprehend these issues yet. Whatever happened to teaching a strictly academic curriculum with a side of respect for everyone, regardless of sex, race, religion or opinion. Whatever happened to the Dems and Liberals being the party of tolerance of everyone?
What can be seen in these two letters is exactly what the writers accuse the GOP of: divisive rhetoric and intimidation.

If future parades are so uncomfortable to Liberals, they can either stay away, or invite the Southern Poverty Law Center to march alongside the Manlius and Onondaga County Democrats. The people of Manlius will certainly allow them a “space in the community.” Aren’t we all for free speech and Democracy?

focused on connecting local businesses to one another via networking events, connecting local businesses to the public via large-scale inclusive community events, and acting as a promotional arm for all businesses providing complimentary marketing support.
On June 19, the committee launched a website, Cazenovialife. com, and debuted a logo featuring two light posts as a nod to the Lakeland Park Pier.
The new website highlights upcoming community events hosted by local merchants as well as nonprofits and other organizations.
“We are so delighted to share Caz Life with the community,” Monforte said in the press release. “It can be a little scary, but as an organization, we feel that the time was right for this change, and when the opportunity presented itself, we just had to jump. We want to build upon the incredible work of our executive director and our board and remain relevant and impactful to future generations of Cazenovians. We love this community, and we look forward to sharing what makes it so special.”
As part of the upcoming transition, GCACC Executive Director Anna Marie Neuland will be vacating her paid position but will

Up next is the annual Block Fest Weekend, which is scheduled for Aug. 4-6. Suitable for all ages, the community celebration will feature a bounce house, face painting, balloons, a cornhole tournament, a drum circle, live music, community yoga, and more. The main event will take place at Lakeland Park this year. There will also be sidewalk sales downtown, food trucks, and ice cream. A full list of events will be available on the “Cazenovia Block Fest 2023” Facebook page.

Recently, someone accused me of being addicted to “golf”. When I asked them to explain their ridiculous claim, the only thing they could come up with was to say, “you’re addicted because you play every day”. I immediately denied that lie and informed them that although I like to practice and try to have a club in my hands as often as I can, the only time I play 18 holes is in a tournament, unless it is a very special occasion…maybe 3 times a year. If this person had accused me of being addicted to playing in tournaments, I might have agreed. Nevertheless, because I am the “most open minded person I know”, I decided to research the topic and find out what health professionals have to say about golf addiction. I believe most of us look forward to playing golf because it is a way of getting rid of the “cobwebs” that accumulate during the day in our minds and helps us to “escape”…for a little while…to “clear our heads”.
Charlie Blanchard,The Golf Doctor says, “Just about all addictions have fundamentally the same underlying habits, thought distortions, denials and emotions in common”. Compulsive golfing seems a more “socially benign affliction than say gambling or drug use”. Mr. Blanchard believes more people are addicted to golf in one form or another. He says if that thought concerns you, there are a few warning signs and symptoms that suggest you could be addicted:
* Have you let golf interfere with your work so that your job or business is suffering?
* Has golf affected your personal relationships with loved ones resulting in friction, resentments, and arguments?
And then there is Dr. Lawrence Conell, a psychiatrist, addictionologist and avid golfer who believes that, “many of us are physiologically and psychologically addicted to this beautiful, aggravating, consuming game we call golf”. He doesn’t want us to immediately jump to conclusions but he does want us to understand the criteria for something to be classified as an addiction:
1. The behavior is repetitive.
2. The subject will persistently pursue the behavior, even in the face of adverse consequences.
3. The subject feels compulsion to satisfy the need to do the behavior.
4. The behavior grants the subject an initial sense of well being.
5. A subject feels a craving for the behavior.
6. The subject creates a tolerance to the behavior over time.
7. Ending the behavior yields a form of emotional/physical withdrawal.

SUMMARY OF BOND RESOLUTION
11am til gone
In other words, “golf taken to an extreme, can definitely be classified as an addiction”, according to Dr. Conell. And if that isn’t bad enough, he believes, “excessive golfing can be compared to gambling and alcohol consumption on the course, effectively combining addictive behaviors”. He also acknowledges, “there are positive aspects of the game like being immersed in nature, exercise and being with friends that can be a fulfilling experience with lasting positive effects”. The Doctor’s last words on the subject are his best…”This game can teach us many of golf’s life lessons for success and failure. Rather than letting golf rule our lives, let’s make sure we guide golf to take us to greener pastures of mental health”. Amen Doc.
My final thought…I believe I am addicted to golf, but only in a good way. How about you?

John A. Okunski, 79 Cazenovia school crossing guard

John A. Okunski, 79, of Cazenovia, died Thursday, July 6, 2023, at St. Joesph’s Hospital with his family by his side.
John was a mainstay in Cazenovia as a crossing guard for Cazenovia schools. He was visible on the corners of the village early in the morning and in the afternoon guiding children, adults and dogs as well as school buses at times across the village intersections. This job with the Cazenovia police department speaks to what kind of person John was; loyal, dependable, kind and friendly. He cared about all of the kids he crossed and if one was absent he would wonder where they were and how they were.
John protected and provided for his Cazenovia family; his beloved partner in life Candace Nestor, his step-daughter Kristin Nestor and his precious cat, Martini.
John loved his children; Jennifer Okunski Geyer of Springboro, Ohio and his sonin-law Bryan. He adored his grandchild Francesca and his face would light up whenever he talked to her. He was so proud of his son, John, Jr., of Miami, Florida as well as his son’s beautiful wife Mirtha. He also leaves behind his treasured grandchildren, Gabriella, Amanda and Anthony.
John was extremely proud of his Polish heritage. He was born in Utica and attended high school there where he excelled in many clubs, activities and football. He then attended Utica College (Syracuse University) and graduated with a degree in biology. He was president of his graduating class and was named to Who’s Who in America Colleges and Universities. His initial goal was to attend medical school

Barbara Stuart Bradshaw Evans of Cazenovia, passed away on March 10, 2022, at the age of 96. Barbara was born on May 4, 1925, in the Stockade District of Schenectady, N.Y., the youngest daughter of Clarence Walworth Bradshaw and Dorothy Tayler Bradshaw. After graduating from Nott Terrace High School in 1942, she went on to study art at Syracuse University. It was at Syracuse that she met her future husband, James Frederick Evans, Jr. They would wed on Dec. 16, 1944, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Constantia, N.Y. James had enlisted in the U.S. Navy the previous year, and served till the end of World War II.
After the war Barbara and James (affectionately known as Bobsie and Jim) lived a short while in the Capital District of New York, before moving back to Jim’s hometown Syracuse, and settled down in the Cazenovia area for the remainder of their 65-year marriage. This is where they raised three children, James, Margaret and Bradshaw, and where Bobsie would become immersed in community activities in Syracuse, most notably with the Junior League of Syracuse and the Cerebral Palsy Center. She also sponsored Fresh Air Kids from underserved communities in New York City to come live at her home for part of the summer in Cazenovia for a number of years.
Later she dedicated her time to several organizations in Cazenovia, receiving the Cazenovia Republican’s Civic Appreciation Award in 1982. Bobsie was one of earliest and most ardent advocates for recycling and other environmental efforts and did this before Earth Day was established. She would go on to dedicate her time to several organizations including the Cazenovia Performing Arts Guild where she would bring fine arts programs to the Cazenovia Central School District, Caz Cares,
but was immediately offered a job at UPS which he was passionate about. He rose through the ranks and traveled around the country setting up management training schools. After a long stint at UPS he was active in trucking and warehousing throughout the Northeast.
John was an avid fan of all sports especially Syracuse University men’s and women’s lacrosse as well as men’s football.
John was predeceased by his parents John V. and Edwena (Dziuban) Okunski and his beloved brother Dr. Walter Okunski of Allentown, PA.
A celebration of life will be announced on a later date.

What plant or gardening question is on your mind these days? Bugs eating your cabbages? Flowers failing to flourish? Every growing season is a little different isn’t it? This year, our weather went from cold and dreary to hot and sultry almost overnight. But did you plant your tomatoes too soon? Most of us couldn’t get them in the ground until at least June 1 due to the cold night temperatures that held on well into late May. Once we got over that whacky weather hurdle, we hit a dry spell that had many of us gardeners wondering if our wells would run dry by July. Thankfully they didn’t but these weather extremes have many people puzzling over what they’re starting to see in their gardens.

Insect pests need certain conditions to be met before they can emerge from whichever morphological state they stay in to overwinter. A slow start to spring weather followed by a sudden warm-up can mean an eruption of pests such as sawfly. Sawfly are the clever little larvae of the adult sawfly; an often unnoticed nonstinging wasp-like insect.
The larvae are often the exact color of the leaves on which they feed. When they appear, it’s seemingly out of nowhere and in bulk quantities. You will notice the damage they do way before you notice them. Since they often occur in such large quantities at once, they can strip a shrub in its early spring growth stages rather quickly. Look for sawfly on spruce, alder, azalea, viburnum, elderberry, currant, willow, dogwood, columbine and more.
The best defense against sawfly larvae is a good offense. Check your plants regularly in the spring and look for damage, then look again for these tiny critters. They can be quite small when they first start (1/8 of an inch) but tiny as they are, they will grow to about an inch long over their 4 to 6 week feeding period as they feed voraciously on the leaves of your plants. Sawfly larvae are not difficult to get rid of once spotted. If they see you coming, they may rise up on their prolegs and take a dive off your plant and onto the ground, at which point you can squash them. You can also place a bucket or other

wide-mouthed container or even a tarp under your plant and tap the branches. The larvae will often fall off and you can dispose of them easily. Small infestations can just be picked off and put into a jar of soapy water or rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will kill them quickly whereas the soapy water will kill them gradually. We also get a lot of ‘what’s wrong with my plant?’ type questions on our helpline. Many of us had to hold off on planting our tomatoes this year because of the cold spring. Plants that become root bound (their roots fill the pot so densely they dry out very fast) will undergo a lot more transplant stress once they are finally planted. And just as we are more likely to get sick when we are stressed, so are plants. Damping off (a softening and rotting of the stem tissues just above the soil line caused by Rhizoctonia, Fusarium or Pythium fungus) typically happens during damp weather coupled with cool temperatures while plants are young. Some plants, tomatoes in particular, can continue to grow through the damage caused by damping off until they become top heavy, and the damaged base of the main stem gives way. Happy looking tomatoes one day can flop over, wilt and die the next, even if they are nearly full grown.
Diagnosing plant problems is an entire section in the Master Gardener Volunteer training manual.

Years Ago in History

The refusal by the state to assume the cost of improvements to the portion of Rt. 80 in New Woodstock was scored by Justice John Libby at the Town Board meeting July 9.
“It’s called New York State Rt. 80,” Mr. Libby said. “We’ve held off improving that stretch because it’s a state road. If we take back, we’re taking back a cowpath. I think we should get a delegation to go to Albany on this we should burn up the wires to Governor Rockefeller and Malcolm Wilson. The state is welshing on a deal,” he said.
A letter from Raymond T. Schuler, commissioner of the State Department of Transportation, read by Supervisor Bernard T. Brown Jr., indicated that DOT’s refusal to improve Rt. 80 was based on the failure of the Legislature to include supplemental funds in the budget.

Nitrates or no nitrates, the 124 families in the New Woodstock Water District want to go back to using the system’s spring water.
They say it tastes better than the water from an auxiliary well that was put into service after the state discovered a high nitrate level in the springs a year ago.
“And that’s not the only reason,” Town Councilman Ivan Slocum of New

Woodstock said. “It’s expensive to run the pump at the well. It’s costing about $240 a month, and the water wheel at the springs costs nothing to use.”
“Another reason it that there’s rust and iron in the well water – it stains everything.” The main danger of nitrates in drinking water is to infants under the age of six months who could suffer oxygen starvation (blue baby syndrome) because of the reaction of the nitrates to hemoglobin in the blood.

The planned addition to the Cazenovia Public Library would mandate more parking space in a different area, and at last week’s Cazenovia Town Board meeting, councilmen had a look at the proposal put forth by architects Jack Teitsch and Robert Kent.
Bill LaRose was also there as a representative of the library.
The plan calls for a driveway leading up from Riverside Drive, near the town highway garage, to a drop-off point and 24-space parking lot to the rear of the library addition.
The addition itself will be behind the current library building on Albany Street, and offset to the southeast of the library barn.
The lot which is currently used in front of the library barn and along the library’s west side, will no longer be used for parking since it will direct foot traffic
to the main entry in the new addition.

Anyone walking by the former barber shop owned by Ford Lamb on Albany Street is in for a colorful surprise as Lavender Blue opened its doors in Cazenovia last week.
The business sells table linens, napkins, tea towels, aprons, breadbaskets and a few surprises. Eileen Lowe and Judith Warburton of Fayetteville are the owners and operators. They have been friends for more than 20 years.
The colorful atmosphere in the store
matches their outgoing personalities. Lowe and Warburton said they always loved Cazenovia, but it wasn’t until they saw the building for sale in Cazenovia that they spontaneously decided to start their own business. They picked Cazenovia because they like the historic village.
Although there is a color lavender blue, the name came from an English nursery rhyme. All the work has been done by them, from painting ceilings, scrubbing walls to laying the tile.

“We worked very hard and it came together beautifully,” Warburton said. “We knew what we wanted to do and it evolved.”
