As county legislators gingerly removed items preserved from the 1968 time capsule on Saturday, one read aloud from a document describing the technical aspects of the building. The letterhead on that message belonged to J. Victor Bagnardi, the architect of the

T

he William Henry Miller Inn in downtown Ithaca has officially been sold to its new owners, Amy Fuhr and Chris Anderson of Ithaca.

The property sold for $1.147 million, passing from Lynnette Scofield to Fuhr and her business partner Anderson.

Fuhr used to work for the

Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce and Anderson is a faculty member at the Hotel Administration and Hospitality Management school at Cornell University. Fuhr said the sale had been agreed upon late last year but could just recently become official because of various small delays.

Although the gut reaction from Ithacans might be nervousness at the famous old inn changing hands, rest easy. Fuhr and Anderson have no plans to make any sweeping changes to the inn’s operations. Anderson said they would likely take the first several months to smooth out any kinks in the business, then look to make some minor changes to improve the building—things like capital improvements, interior tweaks like new wallpaper, etc. The building has been historically designated, so exterior changes are difficult to accomplish and would have to be approved by the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Fuhr said she’s lived down the street for years, walking by and admiring the building on a regular basis. Then, after moving on from her old job, she was inspired to jump into the hotel business when she saw the inn, located at 303 N. Aurora St., was up for sale.

Scofield sold to Fuhr and Anderson despite interest from far and wide, including from overseas in owning the property.

“I’d been thinking about a career change because I’ve been doing things where you just sit all day,” Fuhr said. “And I wanted to work for myself, totally, again. Then I saw the article that it was for sale, and I joked with [Scofield] that I

wanted to buy it. But then I started really thinking about it, and I decided that’s what I really wanted to do.”

Fuhr said she’s never owned an inn before, but that she does have experience with hospitality and food service, having run a pizza shop and German-style deli years back. She and Anderson met through a mutual friend before deciding to go into business together.

“It’s a natural fit with Amy,” Anderson said. “She can do all the parts after the people get here, and I can do all the parts before they get here. We’re really excited. Lynnette has obviously built a great business and we just want to do a few tweaks here and there.”

Fuhr agreed, emphasizing that Scofield’s business, and her help and patience during the sale process, had also helped to ease the transition until Fuhr finally was able to take over last week.

“We knew Lynnette was running a successful business, and it’s basically a turn-key operation,” Fuhr said. “If we just came in and did what she was doing, with Chris’ expertise and doing a little bit more marketing and increasing our occupancy, everything was going to be fine.”• -M att Butler

Local First Ithaca creating its inaugural “Independents Week”

F

ireworks, flags, and financial responsibility: Patriotism and Ithaca-pride can adopt a new tradition with this July’s “Independents Week,” a designated period by Local First Ithaca and the American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA) to promote buying local products.

Businesses around Ithaca have opted into the week, which will run from July 1 to 7, looking to bring awareness to the impact of buying products and services locally. The idea for “Independents Week”— pun intended—was first coined

by AMIBA, but will debut for its first time in Ithaca this year.

“After all, what’s more American than supporting local businesses?” asked Jan Norman, co-founder of Local First Ithaca.

Different businesses will participate in the week in their own, independent ways, as LimeBike will do a presentation of their new e-scooters and Bikewalk Tompkins will have a Wheel of Fortune activity with small prizes. “The flavor of each community comes through,” Norman said.

Over 20 businesses were recruited to participate by Local First Ithaca, a network of locally-owned businesses, services, and nonprofits that

New Veterans Services Director

L

ast week, the Tompkins County Legislature unanimously confirmed J.R. Clairborne as director of the new Office of Veterans Services, a staterequired office that will connect local military veterans with state and federal services. He will report to County Administrator Jason Molino, who appointed him from a pool of 37 applicants.

Clairborne is the first person to serve in the role for the newly-created agency in Tompkins County. It was approved in February of this year, and the department will have an office in the Office for the Aging on West State Street.

Since 2012, Clairborne has been the advocacy coordinator for Loaves and Fishes of Tompkins County, and is currently affiliated with the United Way of Tompkins County, the Tompkins County Public Information Advisory Board, and the Community Housing Development Fund (of which he is a founding member). From 2006 to 2015, he represented Ithaca’s Second Ward on the Common Council and served on the Tompkins County Council of Governments.

Clairborne has also worked in communications and marketing for Cornell University and Ithaca College, as a reporter and assistant editor for The Ithaca Journal for six years, and served eight years in the United States Navy and U.S. Naval Air Reserve, where he reached the rank of Petty Officer Third Class; Aviation Boatswain’s Mate – Handler.

In a Q&A with The Ithaca Times, Clairborne detailed his expectations for his new position, which he will begin in late July. Responses have been edited for clarity.

Why did you apply for this position?

I put my name in the hat for this role after being approached by people who thought I’d be a good candidate. After looking deeper into the position, I saw it as an opportunity to serve my fellow veterans in a greater way. During my time at Loaves & Fishes of Tompkins County, I’ve worked with our staff and others to make our dining hall a welcoming place for veterans, as well as anyone who joins us as a guest. Becoming director of veterans services puts me in a position to use my knowledge of local resources available to connect veterans when they need those services.

A vast wealth of experiences gained from my professional and civic roles coupled with a solid base of knowledge of our local resources. I also think I know a few people around town, at least, I can call on when I need more information to help meet a need for a veteran and his or her family.

What local entities do you expect to work closely with?

Any of the local social, medical, mental health, housing, veterans, and any other service agencies that will work with me in service of local veterans. In addition, I plan to look toward our financial and business communities, as well as any other willing entities, for potential partnerships or assistance.

You served in the military. How will that guide your work?

Being a veteran gives me a place for connection with other veterans.

Chances are good that we have some shared or related experiences in common, be it during our times of service or since then. I also believe I share a sensitivity to the concerns many of our families encounter or have overcome.

What do you hope to accomplish as director?

Regardless of the reasons we answered the call to serve our nation, the distinction of “veteran” means we served. Today, many of our veterans just want to reclaim their place at home or in the community, without fanfare but with simplicity, dignity, and respect.

I want to help as many of our 4,100 veterans across Tompkins County who need it make those connections.

Lastly, to say I am thankful for this opportunity is an understatement. My selection by Tompkins County Administrator Jason Molino and members of the search committee, coupled with the show of confidence by the unanimous vote of the county legislature, excites me to no end. I’ve said thank you to God many times daily since the county tapped me. I plan to use this excitement as added motivation in service to our community of veterans across Tompkins County.•

UPS&DOWNS

▶▶ Thumbs Up - News broke last week that not only had the Ithaca Teachers Association and the Ithaca City School District come to an agreement on a record-breaking six year contract, but also that the teacher’s union membership had voted to ratify it.

Hopefully, this will serve as a beneficial step considering some of the news that has come out of ICSD recently regarding student behavior and teacher complain about staffing.

▶▶ Thumbs Down - While it hasn’t been confirmed in any official capacity, Mayor Svante Myrick tweeted last week that he had received a few phone calls regarding the possible sighting of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement van in the area.

There’s no good advice to offer here, as even the “know your rights” stuff seems to ring hollow when there’s no evidence those rights are actually being respected. Just stay safe. ▶▶ Seen - As noted online at Ithaca.com this week, TCAT has decided that as part of its efforts to expand rural access to transportation, they are going to eliminate the additional fares in Zone 2, meaning the further reaches of Tompkins County will be able to ride TCAT buses without incurring extra expenses. Considering how often this is mentioned as a complaint, this seems like a low-risk, high-reward move. ▶▶ The most popular stories this week on Ithaca.com are...

1. Two Trumansburg Teachers Retire 2. A challenger for Myrick emerges 3. William Henry Miller Inn sold to new owners 4. Tompkins County retailers in compliance with age limitations 5. Commons Playground stays shuttered for now

ntelligence Quotient (IQ) is a number meant to measure people’s cognitive abilities in relation to their age group.

An IQ between 90 and 110 is considered average. What follows is the revised list of indicators with which, in the absence of other evidence, the presumed IQ of a subject may be reliably adjusted, from a starting point of 100 (average intellectual capabilities). These tools, while generally empirically valid, have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 IQ points.

British Accent (All kinds, even Cockney) +12 points. This metric has been revised downward from last year’s guideline (+15) because of Brexit.

Southern Accent -16 points. This is an upward revision from last year’s guideline (-12) due to the continued support in Kentucky for Mitch McConnell.

Handlebar Moustache +9 points. Numerous studies have established a link between intelligence and looking like a walrus.

Eyeglasses +10 points. Does not apply to eyeglasses with transition lenses.

Over-Pampering Small Dog -7 points.

Qualifying activities: transporting a dog in a stroller or baby carrier, the purchase of Neuticles or any similar testicular prosthetic product, throwing a birthday party for a dog, spending more than $55 on a dog bed.

Loud Muffler -8 points. While it’s obvious that whoever has the louder muffler is the manliest, merely entering that contest is a sign of constricted mental agility.

Ability to Name Two or More Kardashians -15 points. That’s pure science.

Dry Martini Gin, +12 points. Vodka, +10 points. This does not apply to dirty martinis, appletinis, chocolate martinis, or anything else that includes ingredients other than gin, vodka or vermouth. In fact, subtract 4 points just for suggesting it.

Mouthbreather -13 points. Last year’s class action by the slack-jawed notwithstanding, mouthbreathing is hardly the sign of a nimble mind.

Backwards Baseball Hat -5 points.

The five minutes during which a backwards baseball hat denoted a rebel spirit and a bold willingness to flaunt convection occurred during Ronald Reagan’s first term. Now it’s just a uniform and it makes no sense as far as taking advantage of the protection provided by the baseball hat design.

Lipsmacker -6 points. Also, it’s really irritating.

Having An Actual, Physical Book +10 points. Sightings are increasingly rare, but just in case.

Can’t Read A Map -9 points. Thank you, GPS for making us dumber.

Waited in Orlando, Florida to Hear a President Launch a Reelection Bid -21 points.

That’s right, it starts you out at a presumed IQ of 79.

Speaks More Than One Language +13 points. Being able to do a credible accent is by itself also plus 5 points.

Suspenders and a Belt +5 points.

Wearing suspenders and a belt simultaneously indicates a healthy respect for safety, gravity and well-secured pants, all of which is smart.

Face Tattoo -9 points. Bespeaks an inability to conceive of a world years from now, in which one might regret a highlyvisible hasty decision.

Musical Instrument +18 points.

Except kazoos, which require only the ability to hum annoyingly.

Baseball Knowledge +13 points. 75 years ago, knowing Whitey Kurowski’s batting average (it was .270) was common enough knowledge to clear you of suspicions of espionage in the hedgerows of Normandy. Now, baseball stats have acquired enough cachet to raise a presumption of braininess.

Confederate Flag -17 points. No argument you can make will change this.

playing video games growing up, saying that Parappa the Rapper, Rhythm Heaven and Super Smash Bros. were his favorites.

He created an avatar to represent himself with 3D modeling and animations he picked up on YouTube. Over the years, Ahmed has linked up with people from all over the world.

When playing games like VRChat, he enjoys conversing with all types of users.

Ahmed explained that some unpopular users are “blocked” (muted), but he continues the conversations with those folks as well. Ahmed early on perceived that people are continually developing, and he models his mother’s generous attitude— ”It’s good to have at least one person around when you feel like everyone else has given up on you,” he says.

“Art and music: I liked to draw, usually just comics, and had friends who drew a lot as well,” he says. “I did like music, probably because of the Parappa the Rapper game. I played viola in elementary school with NYSSMA and sang in Vitamin L from 2005 to about 2015.

After high school, Ahmed spent a year away studying theater and art in college. But the pull to return to Ithaca was strong. Finding that he could pursue his interests on his own, Ahmed completed his associate’s degree in psychology at Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3).

After TC3, Ahmed did a short stint working at Papa John’s Pizza, cashiering and manning the oven, alongside his

sister Ja-Toni. Both tall and engaging, between them they knew lots of the customers and the work shifts passed quickly.

From there, Ahmed moved to Jo-Ann Fabrics, and for the next two years he learned lots more about commerce.

Nowadays, friends and fans of Ahmed chat briefly as he runs the register at Aldi’s, while sister Ja-Toni manages Papa John’s across Route 13. After sampling some of the popular local retail franchises, Ahmed has some hilarious anecdotes which he relates in his understated style. None of the humor is at anyone’s expense. Underlying all that Ahmed shares in his interview, is a sympathetic, non-judgmental attitude to others. Wherever he has studied or worked, he has learned new skills, sharpened his observations of the world, and made new friends.

As a keen observer of the world around him, Ahmed describes many strong points of growing into adulthood in his home community. With praise for his family, his employers and co-workers, he appreciates this diverse community he comes in contact with, including people from so many countries he has learned about, maybe even studied their language.

Ahmed is hard-pressed to identify anything missing in Ithaca, but he does come up with one idea: “For young adults who are not in college, not coffee drinkers, not nighttime club goers, it would be nice to have more social places to hang out,” he says. “When friends want to get together, we may sit and talk and draw together at Center Ithaca or at the Library, but we are still looking for the ideal place.”•

back to the community.

The group also issues “The Guide to Being Local,” a coupon book that features testimonies and stories of Ithaca area businesses, and has put on other campaigns to promote community businesses.

In addition to the playful festivities, the organizers also commissioned a study by Civic Economics, an economic analysis firm, to look into the “recirculation of revenue,” or the amount of revenue that goes back into the surrounding community..

Each business that opted in completed a survey about its business practices and their revenue distribution.

The study found a difference of more than 30% between the revenue circulation of local and national businesses. While national chain eateries recirculated 30.4% of revenue, independently-owned businesses recirculated around 65%. The same analysis was done with retailers, which estimated that 13.6% of national retailers’ revenue recirculates, in comparison to 46.7% of local retailers. Civic Economics looked at local eateries like Purity Ice Cream, Cafe Dewitt and Red Feet Wine Market & Spirit Provisions, and compared their revenues to national chain eateries Red Lobster, Olive Garden, McDonald’s and P.F. Chang’s; the same model was used

for retailers.

The Civic Economics study demonstrates the importance of shopping local for community wellbeing, according to Norman, a longtime local business owner.

Norman has run Ithacamade, a gift shop nestled in Dewitt Mall, for 11 years, and started a clothing line, Silk Oak, 42 years ago with her friend.

Norman highlighted the histories of other local hotspots, pointing to GreenStar’s and Ithaca Bakery’s longevity, noting that part of the importance of these businesses is the development of a “local business ecosystem.” The bookkeeper at a local retail store may contract art from a local graphic artist, Norman said as a hypothetical example of the interconnectedness of independent businesses.

Aside from a social media campaign, buttons and other activities, one part of the week’s festivities will be an “Indie Challenge” where participants try to see if they can meet their needs by only purchasing products from locally-owned and locallyoperated business.

Celebrating locally-owned businesses alongside Independence Day is fitting, Norman said, because “it is patriotic, the fact that anybody could start their own business.”•

Dear Editor,

T

he hypocrisy of the anti-vaccination mind set is blatantly revealed by the fact that all antivaccers undoubtedly “vaccinate” and protect their computers against electronic viruses, but refuse to protect their children. Let the children crash, but protect the precious, dead machines at all cost.

I can only shake my head and wonder where their priorities truly lie, knowing their arguments have not one defensible leg to stand on.

Is it not our collective policy to eliminate the conscious efforts of those who threaten our personal, public, and national security? With any luck, Darwinian evolution will come through and do the eliminating for us.

FIREWORKS! Lighting Up

The Town

I

By M att Bu tler thaca’s skies will illuminate on July 3 as they have for years, celebrating America’s Independence Day with a nighttime fireworks display hosted at Stewart Park by the Rotary Club of Ithaca, the City of Ithaca, and the Friends of Stewart Park, who have banded together to reinvigorate the event over the last few years.

The event will run from 6 to 9:45 p.m., when the fireworks will be launched. The Smoking Loons will perform starting at around 8 p.m., and donations can be made during the event or online at the event’s GiveGab. A rain date of July 5 has been scheduled if necessary.

Rotary Club spokesperson Dale Johnson said this is the third year of working with the city, as the event continues to grow since its migration back to downtown Ithaca, pulling in more agencies as it strengthens. The growth is even obvious in the amount of services Johnson must pro8 T

tainment earlier in the day, more variety in terms of food, just make it more attractive.”

Johnson said the Rotary Club became involved in the event after several other hosts felt unable to host it anymore. That includes Cornell University, Ithaca College, Tompkins Cortland Community College, and an effort made by Downtown

Ithaca Alliance to keep the event going as well. That was in 2017, but the event has steadily expanded since then, regaining the foothold that years spent outside of downtown Ithaca had helped deteriorate.

Johnson has visions of growing the event even more, hopefully revitalizing it to the point that it recaptures the excitement of yesteryear, a goal he has held onto since the rotary club first took over the event.

“There was a real interest, I think just generally, to make this more than just shooting off the fireworks,” Johnson said.

“And I think there’s a real interest in showing off what’s possible in Stewart Park and Cass Park, and showcasing what a wonderful place somewhere like Stewart Park can be for that.”

The fireworks show has been a mainstay for midsummer in the city since 1947, when it was originally organized by Sam Woodside, who was the sports director at radio station WHCU at the time. And it has had its fair share of quirky ups and downs, including in 1979, when there was

Ithaca High School rowers savoring time as a duo

By Ste ve L aw re nc e

I

t is no secret that teenagers like to “sleep in” during the summer, and Isabelle Zanen and Deborah Hoffstaetter, both rising seniors at Ithaca High School, are no exception. If one, however, were to ask most high school students if they would like to try Isabelle and Deborah’s “sleeping in” schedule, they would likely decline.

On a typical morning, Isabelle gets up, takes in a significant number of calories, and hops on her bicycle to ride six miles to her morning rowing practice.

That session starts at 8 a.m., and she and Deborah (her doubles partner) row for two hours, then climb back on their bikes and ride home.

Isabelle said, “Last summer, we did double sessions, but this year we’re doing one per day and training on our own.”

Both rowers started rowing for the Cascadilla Boat Club (CBC) as middle-

schoolers, and Isabelle offered, “I started when I was 12, in seventh grade, and I recruited Deborah.” She added, “My dad rowed at a university in the Netherlands, and Deborah has several family members who are rowers.”

just returned from the U.S. Rowing Youth Nationals (held in Sarasota, Florida), where they finished first in the B Division (equivalent to seventh in the nation).

According the U.S. Rowing website, “The championships serve as the premier youth rowing event in the United States, with approximately 1,500 athletes competing in more than 350 crews, representing some 150 teams from across the country—all vying for national titles in 18 boat classes.”

The trip to Florida is a story on its own, as the pair woke up at 3 a.m. and were driven to Syracuse by Teresa Allessio, their coach. They chose an early flight so they could get on the water and practice, but when they took their boat (which had been driven down from Newark) off its trailer, they were amazed to observe that it bent in the middle in the 90-degree heat.

The athletes had trained in coats and hats to prepare for the heat, but the boat was

As for the 8 a.m. practice time, it does feel like sleeping in to the pair, who are on the water at 6 a.m. during the spring and fall rowing seasons. The hard work is paying off, as evidenced by the fact that they

apparently unprepared.

This unexpected twist necessitated that they rent a different boat (fortunately, a team had brought two and thus had an extra one), and they set about the task of

changing the settings and trying to adjust to the unfamiliar vessel. The boat was also constructed from a different material, and all the extra adjusting and practicing resulted in a 13th-place finish in their first race. That dismal result landed them in the last (and most undesirable) lane for the semi-final heat, which was disappointing given their knowledge that a boat had never won from that lane. Isabelle and Deborah were determined to reverse that trend, given all they had been through to get into the semis, and they did so, winning both the semi-final and the final.

That impressive showing on the big stage is a point of pride for the CBC, as the pair was the first from the club ever to go to Nationals. It also gives Isabelle and Deborah extra motivation as they train for another upcoming big event.

“We are currently working toward competing in the Canadian Henley,” Isabelle said.

“We hope to finish in the top three, but it’s a big international race, so we know what a challenge it will be.”

Isabelle said the pair would like to continue in college, if presented the opportunity. When asked if she and Deborah would like to attend the same school, Isabelle said they would, but she added “In college rowing, the boats have either eight rowers, or four. There are no doubles in collegiate rowing, so we would not be able to row as a pair. That will have to wait until after college, maybe at the masters’ level.” •

original dedication ceremony; the pledge of allegiance was led by the family of James Graves, the former town supervisor who led the pledge five decades ago.

The program also featured speeches from invested community members, including Howe, Tompkins County Public Library director Annette Birdsall, and Ithaca City School District superintendent Luvelle Brown. They highlighted the importance of shared history, the values of reading and writing, and the unifying space that is a public library.

“The day is significant because this library has been founded [...] and funded through community support since the beginning, and they thought of the library for the future when the Old Library was being built,” Birdsall said ahead of the ceremony.

Birdsall invited those who had been students and written notes over 50 years ago to come forward and read them aloud.

A handful of attendees walked forward and shared the short messages written by students.

After the box was emptied, the items were laid out on the table and people unwrapped the tiny gelatin capsules for themselves to read. Eventually, all of the items of the capsule will be archived and displayed for public viewing at the History Center.

“People need to know history,” Bagnardi Farr said, “because that’s part of who we are.”•

currency, and other documents, county historian Carol Kammen explained on Saturday.

Last December, the Old Library was demolished after a plan for a senior living provider to take the building’s space was approved. Amid concerns about asbestos, the cornerstone was pried from the building and the time capsule was seen for the first time in years. The box was scheduled to be opened 100 years after its initial burial, in 2068, but after the demolition it was decided it would be opened this year.

The copper box was sealed shut and required a team to carefully remove the lid prior to the ceremony, said Rod Howe, director of the Tompkins County Center for History and Culture. Finally, the box was opened, and county legislators were invited to assist in the unveiling process as audience members leaned forward and stood in anticipation.

The contents were removed as sighs, laughter and gasps punctuated their presentation to the viewers. Inside, tucked next to a hefty copy of The Ithaca Journal and other piles of papers from the time, a shoe-box-sized box was heavily wrapped in paper and string. The box was filled to the brim with tiny notes that were tightly rolled into gelatin capsules, where students had scrawled quick quips about reading or libraries.

New Judges

New York State authorizes third Tompkins County Judge

D

uring the end of the legislative session, both houses of the New York State Legislature passed legislation authorizing a third Tompkins County Judge. Presently, the bill awaits Governor Cuomo’s signature. The law will come into effect as soon as it’s signed, with the election for the judgeship taking place with the general election in November.

According to a press release from Tomp-

kins County, the judge would be seated in January.

A third Tompkins County judgeship was first recommended in 2016 by the Tompkins County Municipal Courts Task Force with county legislators urging the bill to continue since then. The bill to create a third Tompkins County justice, along with three additional Supreme Court judges in New York City, were all sponsored in

the State Assembly by Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton, who was pleased with this bill’s passage, according to the release.

“I’m very pleased to have championed the passage of this bill by the legislature, which will create a third county court judge for Tompkins County,” Lifton said.

“The number of judges has not kept pace with the growth of the county’s population over the years, producing an overly heavy caseload for our judges and longer waits in jail. Increasing the number of Tompkins County court judges from two to three will result in more balanced caseloads and a more efficient court system. This legislation only allows four new judges across the entire state, and I’m extremely pleased that Tompkins County will get one of them.”

Tompkins County Court judges preside over the County, Surrogate and Family Courts, in addition to five specialized courts: Family Treatment Court, Sexual Offender Supervision Court, Felony Drug Treatment Court, Integrated Domestic Violence Court, and the new Wellness and Recovery Court, established this spring.

Tompkins County Judges also have the acting capacity in assisting the Supreme Court caseload in the county.

While drafting a memo to state leaders, the county identified the specialized courts as critical to the bevy of Alternatives to Incarceration programs that are active in Tompkins County. The lack of a third judge to efficiently process cases has been noted as a major barrier in moving people through the county court system and out of jail.

Martha Robertson, chair of the Tompkins County Legislature, mentioned how the county’s population has grown and should be matched in the number of judges.

“Tompkins County’s population has grown 60% in the 50 years since we last had an increase in the number of judges, and we have needed this new court to make our local criminal justice system function more fairly and efficiently,” Robertson said. “We are deeply grateful for Assemblywoman Lifton’s advocacy in making the case to Legislative leadership, together with a broad coalition including Senators Tom O’Mara and Pam Helming, Presiding Justice Elizabeth Garry and Administrative Judge Molly Fitzgerald, and many strong local advocates as well.”

Robertson said it’s early to tell what new opportunities will be presented with an additional judge, but did mention that there have been ongoing discussions regarding the establishment of a veterans court or a DWI court, in the same vein as the newly-established mental health court.

But those talks have been only preliminary. Ultimately, the state’s decision just further shows Tompkins County that its plans to add property and expand its office space were necessary, seen recently with the purchase of properties on Sears Street.

“It’s better to know now than a year from now,” Robertson said. “It certainly reinforces that we need to get out of the main courthouse. It just really emphasizes that we need more space.”•

Legally Blonde

Slew of stellar performances carry CRT show

By Br yan VanC ampe n

can’t begin to remember how many hundreds of movies I saw just once, only to see them attain their own loyal fans over the years. Once these things get out there, they wind up on cable and peoples’ DVD libraries. People watch them

all the time. Take the 2001 rom-com called “Legally Blonde.” I saw it once, and now it’s been adapted for the musical stage. I remember liking Reese Witherspoon and the flick, but it never occurred to me that this was any kind of dry run for a song and

dance show, which was first produced in January 2007.

For those who haven’t seen the film, the story concerns Elle Woods (Lara Hayhurst), a California sorority girl who gets dumped by her boyfriend Warner (Jeffrey Keller) when he gets accepted to Harvard Law School. With her dog Bruiser (played by the adorable and well-trained Ricky) on her arm, Elle decides to go to Harvard and win Warner back. Against the odds, Elle finds her inner lawyer and lands an intern spot working for hard-nosed Professor Callahan (Greg Bostwick) on a murder case involving a celebrity fitness guru (Caitlin Lester-Sams). And there’s another guy in the mix, good guy student Emmett (Woody Minshaw).

Once you’ve seen the show, it all works like a charm. The opening number, “Omigod You Guys,” sets the fun, bubblegum millennial vibe right away, with Elle and her sorority sisters freaking out, gossiping about Elle’s relationship, and, of course, texting and taking selfies at every opportunity. The fitness celebrity gets a nice number, “Whipped Into Shape” and Bostwick’s droll take on “Blood in the Water” makes legal intrigue hummable and fun.

Space prohibits the listing of every performer in this sprightly show, but they all work as a seamless ensemble, playing multiple roles and changing scenery. As usual, Kennedy Salters, so great in “Newsies” and “Saturday Night Fever” last year, steals every moment she’s in as Paulette, owner of the local hair salon. And Steven Martella brought the house down on Saturday night playing a randy UPS man.

The orchestra is fine, though the vocal mix is muddy here and there during large ensemble scenes. Shelley Barish’s set design is worth mentioning. Going in, I wondered how Cortland Repertory Theatre would recreate everything from a California frat house to Harvard Yard and more. Barish has eschewed any “realism” and instead has concocted a set that looks like something you would have seen on a ‘60s variety show: backing panels that fly in and out, boxes onstage and stacks of more boxes with lights inside. The result is a much more imaginative and impressionistic notion, allowing the audience to fill in the ambiance on their own.

Cortland Repertory Theatre Legally Blonde, book by Heather Hach, music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe & Neil Benjamin. Directed by Trey Compton, choreography by Matt Couvillon, music direction by Jacob Carll, scenic design by Shelley Barish, costume design by Jennifer Dasher. At CRT through July 6.

Reggae Fest Returns

By Mat t Butl e r

A

s Ithaca’s festival season continues, one of the area’s newest annual events returns to celebrate the strong local reggae tradition..

This year’s Reggae Festival, being held this weekend, will feature a full day of reggae music on Saturday, bookended by pre- and post-parties held at the Haunt.

Tickets are still available for $40 and $30 for a weekend pass or Saturday-only ticket, respectively, though prices rise slightly for day-of purchases. The event is familyfriendly and kids under the age of 16 can enter for free.

The festival is organized by Michael Mazza, Russ Friedell and a team of others, and held to benefit Cayuga Lake protection efforts; over its first two years, over $10,000 has been raised for the cause, according to organizers. In addition to music, the festival will again feature educational and environmental aspects, including the Cayuga Lake Floating Classroom and other ways to provide hands-on learning experiences that shed light on the importance of future care of the Finger Lakes.

Of course, the most important element of any music festival is the lineup, and the organizers’ excitement over this year’s roster of performers is palpable. The main event will take place on Saturday, June 29 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in Ithaca’s historic Stewart Park, featuring performances from legendary Grammy Award-winning Jamaican recording artists Mykal Rose with Sly & Robbie (although Robbie dropped out with health issues), alongside Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Kevin Kinsella, Double Tiger, Cha Cha & The Medicinals, Dub Apocalypse, E.N. Young, and The Analogue Sons.

“They’re pretty iconic, they’re pretty well-known,” Friedell said of several of the performing acts, in particular Mykal Rose with Sly & Robbie. “So for us to get them is a pretty big deal.”

Friedell said they strive to make the festival a full community event, and to that end they have. The official pre-party on Friday, June 28 will feature a DJ sound clash, and the after-party on Saturday, June 29 will be hosted by The Crucials. Both parties will be held at The Haunt. There

traditional Caribbean strongholds. The city’s relationship with reggae is something people would know had they attended last year’s festival, when organizers and the History Center teamed up to create a timeline of reggae culture in Ithaca as well as make a booth where people could share their reggae experiences from the area.

Friedell said the idea for the festival was originally born out of an affinity for the traditional final day of the Ithaca Festival, which was held on Sunday at Stewart Park. The final day became a favorite of Mazza’s and others who enjoy reggae and liked the outside park setting, and in 2017 they decided to build a separate event to celebrate the genre.

Strewn Forgotten Gathered ReImagined Rethinking Garbage at the CSMA

useful, a new piece of trash.

Caroline Byrne’s “Trash Pictures Behind TOPS and Stewart Park” elevate trash to a new level of poise. Framed beautifully with nature, the pieces of refuse blend with the landscape. In one, a mannequin head lays in the lake, parallel to fallen branches, the water a deep blue around it.

In another, a puzzle piece sticks out from underbrush and the roots of a tree. The white and rigid structure of the puzzle piece is juxtaposed against the more organic edges of the earth, yet somehow still seems in place.

Environmentalism has become a pressing issue over the past many years and “Strewn Forgotten Gathered ReImagined” does a strong job of reasserting the

importance of awareness and does so via a very local and accessible lens. Along with that, it’s nice to see a fully-curated show with a purpose, something that, despite Ithaca’s art-focused community, can at times be far and few between. The show could have benefited from a prominentlydisplayed show statement to press the points further, and admittedly some of the artworks appeared a touch out of place— Robin Tropper-Herbel’s found objects, for example, were intriguing enough for a standalone show, but here carried an air of nostalgic mystique in conflict with the more environmental-lens of the rest of the show. Overall, however, “Strewn Forgotten Gathered ReImagined” was certainly a success.

zine hangs within the gallery, its insides marked with pages of blue marker script calling for action. “While plastic can be a hero to modern society,” an excerpt reads, “we must remember that the production of this artificial, almost-too-resilient material is in our hands. And we have been greatly abusing our power.”

The piece, Alyssa Anderson’s “Every Piece of Plastic Ever Made Will Outlive You” zine, is joined in the gallery by another work of the same name, in which the artist showcases plastic collected from around the Cayuga Lake area. Displayed against the wall, as if presenting a case study, there’s anything from caution tape, a tampon applicator, and an NSYNC CD to cigarette butts, ear buds, and much more.

These benign everyday objects add up.

“Strewn Forgotten Gathered ReImagined” is a show displayed at the Community School of Music and Art (CSMA) through July, and was created in collaboration with Cayuga Lake Watershed Network and the Glorious Trash Birds (a local Facebook group), both of whom regularly work together to pick up trash along the inlet and watershed areas. Artists within the group take claim to some of the findings and repurpose the objects into works of art, intended both to create artworks and to promote a larger message of awareness toward the amount of trash we produce regularly and the need for more environmental and sustainable thinking.

Within the show, Nancy Corwin Ma-

lina repurposed plastic straws into a dense forest. They populate a shadow box with crusted dark bark and a shredded mess of foliage, dipped thickly in acrylic paint colored with coffee grounds. One wouldn’t have guessed that the work was created from literal garbage, including Styrofoam and headphone wire, along with the actual straws.

Magdalena Zink’s “Cups” works, of which there are five in the show in total, take disposable cups from Gimmie Coffee and deconstructs them to their core materials. Separating the plastic and paper of each cup, Zink flattens the materials and lays them out against the wall, creating a surface that is unrecognizable and appears similar to handmade paper. In my mind, the works are beautiful in aesthetic: crinkled and uneven, rough at the edges.

But, again, they also carry a message, highlighting the push and pull between resources we use, in this case the plastic and paper of our coffee cups that most often can’t be recycled.

Interestingly, trash has proven to be a fruitful subject matter for photographers as well, whose works in the show appear thoughtful and emotive. Marsha Taichman’s “#underwearincollegetown” series documents a slew of colorful underthings happened upon outside, from a neglected nude-colored bra strung over a curb to black Calvin Klein briefs deserted on some grass. Devoid of their owners, the underwear becomes displaced—a glimpse of an untold story and also, proven no longer
