Accountant Fraud

Thomas Jones memoirs published by Cornell Press

Ithaca accountant pleads guilty to fraud and money laundering charges

A

ccountant Andrew N. LaVigne, 66, of Lansing, New York, pled guilty in federal court in Binghamton to bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud and money laundering, according to a press release issued by the U.S. Attorney’s office in the North‑ ern District of New York.

The release said LaVigne practiced in the Ithaca area for over 30 years, before filing for personal bankruptcy in 2004.

According to the press release, that’s when trouble began, as LaVigne concealed millions of dollars from the government and stole at least a million dol‑ lars from an elderly client.

“At the time, he owed ap‑ proximately $7.6 million to over 80 unsecured creditors following a failed scheme to use their money to purchase sports and entertainment memorabilia and resell it for a profit,” the release states. “Dur‑ ing the course of LaVigne’s own years‑long bankruptcy, he claimed his home as his only asset, and he did not pay back his 80 investors. In pleading guilty today, LaVigne admitted that during his bankruptcy he used his CPA practice’s bank accounts to conceal between $3.5 and $9.5 million in assets from the United States Bank‑ ruptcy Court and the Office of the United States Trustee.

LaVigne laundered money by depositing funds unrelated to his CPA practice into his busi‑ ness accounts and then used that money for his own benefit and that of his family. In doing so, LaVigne used this money to purchase sports memorabilia, and wrote checks to himself that he never disclosed in his continued on page 7

Farmers Market debuting Saturday with upgrades in mind

T

he Ithaca Farmers Market will be restarting its outdoor market this Saturday, April 6 at Steamboat Landing, running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while pursuing sev‑ eral improvements to increase customers’ comfort.

According to Ithaca Farm‑ ers Market President David Stern, the market’s leaders spent the winter devising improvement plans that they will look to implement during the market’s 46th year. First on the list is a parking lot renova‑ tion, for which the market has already hired engineering and grant writing services, with the goal of expanding access (a consistent general theme of potential market upgrades) by making the lot more amenable to shuttle services, people with disabilities and more cars.

The waterfront looks as if it will be the next spot for a run of development over the next few years, a possibility that the farmers market has noticed

and intends to take advantage of. As that development con‑ tinues, it appears that the cur‑ rent pavilion upgrades will not be the only improvements that the market will aim to make.

“If all goes well with the parking lot, a second round of activity will seek funding for priorities that have been expressed by vendors and customers including winteriza‑ tion, potential expansion and improved event space,” accord‑ ing to a press release issued by the Ithaca Farmers Market.

“The market is also consider‑ ing how an updated pavilion might allow the organization to better support the vendors and community members through a range of possibilities includ‑ ing additional business incuba‑ tion services, a commercial kitchen, community educa‑ tional activities, increased food access for vulnerable commu‑ nities and more.”

Stern emphasized that with the upgrades, the market is

looking to repair relationships with local market-goers who may have been turned off by potholes or lack of space in the parking lot while also provid‑ ing a more attractive option for people visiting Ithaca during the summer months.

“The fact that there’s a focus on the waterfront means that we’re going to have some very different neighbors than we have right now, and the area in general is just going to see a huge amount of development activity over the next, say, five years,” Stern said. “As water‑ front development ramped up, it seemed like a great idea to get in sync with what was hap‑ pening in that area and engage with neighboring developers to see how the market’s future could link to the future of our neighbors.”

Stern said through meetings with neighboring developers, they learned that the market

more of a community problem than a space problem. The city does plan to undertake a rigorous community involvement process with the new study, using stakeholder and focus groups to gather more information about parking.

Other points being analyzed in the study are occupancy rates, parking demands, revenues for on and off-street parking, what the City is paying to subsidize parking downtown and parking alternatives.

One alternative that has worked for drivers in downtown Ithaca, including this reporter, is parking in residential neighborhoods. While there are a few residents who have taken umbrage with this, Cornish said this is a problem with simple solutions such as residents applying for a Residential Parking Permit Program. She also said the city can restrict the time that a car can be parked in one location to discourage long-term parking.

Parking Director Pete Messmer has seen a great increase in the issues regarding parking in Downtown Ithaca. He noted that as the city’s growth continues in both downtown and Collegetown, the existing parking structure is reaching its capacity. Messmer said current

your car can be downright frustrating. The complaint that there’s nowhere to park in downtown Ithaca has led residents to seek answers from the city.

With plenty of spaces in the Seneca and Green Street garages leased out and shortterm limits on spaces surrounding The Commons, parking is an oft-cited point of contention for residents who live beyond a walkable distance from downtown. But Planning Director JoAnn Cornish feels this complaint may be more of an exaggeration than reality.

“One of the things we hear all the time is there’s no parking downtown, but, in fact, there are lots and lots of spaces on the street that are available,” Cornish said. “We want to make sure that people understand where there is parking, the garages are not the only place you can park downtown.”

As downtown continues to grow, parking spots seem to be decreasing, although the exact number of places to park is something of a mystery. A new comprehensive parking study from the City of Ithaca will not only take inventory of where to park downtown, but it will also analyze how Ithaca will grow over the next 10 years and assess how much new parking will be needed during that time. The study will also try to gauge any new projects that would increase the demand further.

After meeting with many downtown business owners, Cornish found this may be

He chose the latter.

“My weight hasn’t changed much since third grade,” Hart said.

Much of that has to do with his strict training schedule.

He speaks with Sumpolec daily and sends him his fitness results every day.

“It’s a physically-grueling sport,” Sumpolec said. “You’re controlling about 400 pounds of machinery going for two hours, sometimes more, at a very high intensity. Hunter is at a max heart rate of about 186 at the high end for two hours. You’ve got to be in crazy shape to do that.”

Sumpolec also said that winning is about 65- to 75-percent mental. “You can be the best rider, but if your mental is not there, you’re not going to be a champion,” the trainer said.

Hart is earning his degree in business and administration at Saint Leo University in the Bay City area.

The payout for a pro race win is $1,100, and Hart has sponsors that help support him financially. He said the four big ones are Ithaca Recreation Sports, Fly Racing, Max’s Tires and Tri Medical Solutions of Sarasota. “It’s not a cheap sport,” he said.

It is an unconventional path for a teenager from rural New York, but Hart said he wouldn’t trade it for a regular high school experience.

“I don’t think I missed anything,” he said. “I’ve done things that other kids have never done; I’ve been to up to 25 states in a year and I get to race an ATV for a living. It definitely turns into a job, but at the end of the day it goes from being just fun to a fun job.”

Brown, who has been Ithaca City School District’s superintendent since 2011, is receiving the award due to his lifelong dedication to youth education and the community, according to the Boy Scouts. ▶▶ Thumbs Down - Stop taking money from people!

Tompkins County has seen at least two confirmed major scams over the last several months: the arrest of David Hall of National Book Auctions for failing to repay at least a million dollars to a client, amid complaints from plenty of other customers, along with the recent guilty plea of Lansing accountant Andrew LaVigne for stealing millions as well. ▶▶ Seen - Ithaca Police Department issued a worrisome warning on Sunday, after what they called “several complaints” regarding possible drugging at downtown bars over the weekend.

SURROUNDED BY REALITY

Let’s not forget Iran this New Year H

Worth the Wait

By A m be r G i l ewsk i

appy Persian New Year to all who celebrate! Nowruz, the New Year for Iranians around the world, started on March 21st of the solar calendar and is celebrated for the next two weeks.

While most Americans don’t think about Iran, let alone dare to travel there, I compel us to do so this New Year.

I just returned from a 10-day peace delegation in February/March to Iran with CODEPINK, a women-led peace and human rights NGO. I traveled with 28 Americans to form personal connections and to learn about the impacts of the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal and sanctions on the Iranian people.

We met with academics, politicians, filmmakers, and everyday Iranians in our daily excursions. One thing I can say about our interactions is that the Iranian people love Americans and want nothing more than a peaceful relationship between our two countries. Like us, they may not like the actions of our government or even their own, but there is a basic humanity, respect, and friendship that can come out of our connections with the Iranian people.

On our first day, we met with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. Zarif worked on the

Iran Nuclear Deal and said that when it was implemented in 2015, 80% of Iranians were hopeful it would make a difference.

Now only 51 percent of Iranians think they should stay in the deal. Zarif told our delegation, “The U.S. difficulty with Iran is not because of the region, not because of human rights, not because of weapons, not because of the nuclear issue—it’s just because we decided to be independent.

That’s it, that’s our biggest crime.”

For Iranians, who Zarif noted are more historically focused than Americans, one hundred years is not that long ago. He stated that the U.S. coup d’état of the Iranians’ democratically elected government in 1953 is still very fresh in their minds.

This historical amnesia of many Americans came up again when we visited the Tehran Peace Museum. The museum is run by veterans of the Iran-Iraq war from 1980-1988. We were greeted by the director who had lost both of his legs in the war. The U.S. government sold chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein in Iraq that were used on Iranians during this war.

inter is receding in the rear view mirror. Mayor Myrick, probably gearing up for a bruising re-election campaign against nobody, has spearheaded a number of intriguing initiatives that will delight visitors and locals alike now that spring is finally here. I managed to get the rough draft of the promotional brochure: Everything’s Coming Up Lime Was it only a year ago that LimeBikes were introduced? They’ve become part of Ithaca’s landscape, with the bright green cycles parked everywhere from sidewalks to front lawns. Soon, the pedal-powered and electric bikes will be joined by a kindred vehicle, as Lime, the transportation company that runs the bike-share program, has plans to launch an e-scooter program here as soon as mid-May. In late July, the City and Lime will again partner in introducing a test fleet of Lime Roman chariots, powered by miniature horses (yes, they’re a thing, and super cute) with a specially-designed narrow gauge wheel base for sidewalk use. It’s never been more exciting to be a pedestrian in Ithaca!

Indigenous Fauna Ithaca has a reputation for a high density of liberals, and though organized tours exist, it is quite manageable to observe them in the wild by yourself. With a clipboard and an ‘Impeach Trump’ petition, you can easily flush out half a dozen or more on the municipal preserve located on the

Commons. Be careful, though, they can be touchy. (Many, though dressed in full tie die in spring, are temperamentally more similar to Cotton Mather than Jerry Rubin.) Still, they are picturesque, and generally amenable to photo opportunities. Crouch down and hold out an ‘AOC 2024’ button in your open palm and they should come right over to you.

Super-Fun Sites The Cayuga Wine and Beer and Distillery Trails are wonderful for tourists and residents, but if you’ve done them already, how about checking out the less formal but still-ablast Cayuga Environmental Site Remediation and Superfund Trail? Three of the 13 EPA-designated superfund sites are currently active. (Map available at epa. gov) Pick up a fistful of souvenir magic lead beans over at the colorful Ye Olde Ithaca Gunne factory.

Gimme! Bingo Yo, what’s so great about noshing al fresco in front of the State Street Gimme!? Go ahead, grab a cup of locally-roasted mocha java and a seat, and you’ll soon see what all the fuss is about! In coordination with the City of Ithaca, and as a special promotion this spring, each table has a stack of bingo cards and a bowl of discs so that you can keep track of local sights, like the Subaru Outback left idling in the handicapped space while the driver continued on page 7

Waterfront, Ho! Ithaca’s 5.5 mile paved path connecting the community’s favorite waterfront destinations is one of our most valuable community assets, increasing lake access and opportunities for recreation and transportation. With the Black Diamond Trail and progress being made to establish further trails in Tompkins County, we celebrate this path toward an exceptional regional trail network, and thanks to the city’s ‘Dredging’s For Chumps’ program, the Inlet is now so shallow you can tiptoe across it without getting your socks wet.

Look Up! The City of Ithaca is kicking off its ‘Look Up!’ campaign sometime in

early May. City Enthusiasm Coordinator Meghan Cornstarch has yet to reveal all the activities, but generally the theme is always to be looking up at all the shiny new luxury buildings downtown. Not down at all the depressing 100-year-old water mains that apparently didn’t get the memo that increased urban density is always good.

Flood Zone Roulette It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s easy: 1. Go to the interactive map gallery on the Tompkins County government’s website. The 100-year-floodplain exactly matches Ithaca’s municipal boundary lines! That means that every year there’s a 1% chance that we’ll be navigating the breakfast cereal aisle at Wegmans by kayak. 2.

When he is sentenced in July, LaVigne will face a maximum term of 20 years for the mail fraud count, 10 years on the money laundering count and five years for the bankruptcy fraud count. There may also be supervised release after he is freed from prison, and potentially as much as $750,000 in fines.

Separately, the release details LaVigne’s defrauding of a senior citizen as part of a mail fraud scheme that took place from 2014 until 2016. The announcement states that LaVigne convinced the victim to pay $3.6 million for shares in a company that LaVigne said would be developing property at 101 Pier Road in Ithaca, which is now listed as Newman Municipal Golf Course.

“After the victim bought 90% of the company, LaVigne obtained an additional $1 million from her, purportedly to invest in the company,” the announcement continues. “LaVigne did not use the $1 million to invest in the company, and never developed the property.

Obviously, that would likely result in more pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

“We have to upgrade our facility to be ready for what’s happening around us, and also just because the market pavilion is old and it’s not going to last forever,” Stern said. “We need to think about what the next version looks like. The fact is, we’ve lost local customers increasingly because of the shoddy state of the parking lot and how crowded it gets on the weekends.”

Even with the wave of development now aimed at its surrounding area, Stern said he’s not worried about the farmers market getting lost amid the changing neighborhood. With support from the city, he believes that some of the issues the market faces could be solved simply by

neighboring projects addressing problems they will also face.

“The risk is overcrowding that area with traffic and people,” Stern said. “Everybody is going to have a problem, not just us. The traffic and access problems that have to be solved by the neighboring developments are going to help solve the market as well.

The amount of support the city has shown us has been generous, and seems to be unequivocal.”

While the market will only run on Saturdays at Steamboat Landing, located at 545 Third St., for now, it will soon add Sunday hours from May 5 through Oct. 27, opening from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. those days, with an additional Thursday night market starting on June 27 and running until August 29.

Staying on the Right Side of History From Willard Straight to Wall Street

T

By M att Bu tler he image is emblazoned in the minds of virtually anyone who’s seen it, one of the seminal photographs of the Civil Rights movement era and particularly reminiscent of the role college students played in the movement.

Thomas Jones, armed with a rifle in his right hand and raising his left fist in triumph, strides out of Willard Straight Hall on Cornell University’s campus in an Associated Press photo that won a Pulitzer Prize that year. Jones was the last to exit the building after the historic takeover in 1969, a student-led occupation that served as the culmination of years of racial tension on campus when, as Jones puts it, this idyllic campus in rural upstate New York 8 T

took center stage in America’s race drama.

Now, 50 years after the event, the image will have a new, updated home: on the cover of Jones’ new book, “From Willard Straight Hall to Wall Street: A Memoir,” which details his life journey from his days just before coming to Cornell University up to the present day. The memoir will be published in April 2019, and unfurls a rollercoaster story that follows Jones from campus activist to the heights of the financial world to venturing out into that same world on his own.

It begins by detailing Jones’ path to Cornell and his early experiences while there. Though he arrived, it’s fair to say, with some measure of ambivalence to race relations, as he studied he gathered knowledge and a general anger about the state of 3–9,

black people in America. In the book, he spoke about that gradual transition that was put to the ultimate test during the takeover.

“If that day arrived, I thought, my place would be fighting next to my black brothers and sisters for freedom and respect,” he writes, in a mission statement of sorts for the next year or so of his time at Cornell.

Essentially, that day did arrive during Jones’ senior year. Fed up with the Cornell administration’s resistance to the establishment of a black studies program and the subsequent punishment of black protestors for their demonstrations in favor of the program, Jones joined dozens of other black students, led by Ed Whitfield, to evict those inside Willard Straight Hall and occupy the building. As Jones de-

scribes the event, it was a run-of-the-mill building takeover, which were a frequent (“more common than dirt”) fixture of the late 1960s era, but a brawl with white fraternity vigilantes then led the 80 or so occupiers to arm themselves with several guns they had stored across campus. After well over a day of occupation and mounting concern that the situation would end violently, the students agreed to leave the building. Though it took several more days, the black student protestors were eventually cleared of wrongdoing, and those who participated in the takeover, with support from the campus’ ample

weighed by a conviction that in a broader sense he was on the right side of history, and had a duty to be a part of the Willard Straight takeover.

In another example of Jones’ optimism, his favorite anecdote of the book is, on its face, one of the darkest. Jones underwent an years long legal battle on his way out of Citigroup, dodging scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as, he claims, his former colleagues tried to blame him for a 2004 scandal involving vi-

olations of Japanese banking laws that led to the forced closure of Citigroup’s private banking operations in Japan. The outcome was he started an investment firm based out of Stamford, Connecticut, called TWJ Capital. While that came after a long period of meditation through pain, he credits it with driving him closer to his wife, Addie, and children, as well as back to his spiritual roots. It also, he said, probably saved him from working himself to death.

This portion of the book also includes profound reflections from Jones about his relationship with his children and family, particularly in the context of his up-and-

down experiences on Wall Street that had consumed him for a significant portion of their lives.

Obviously, there were challenges aplenty to his optimism throughout his life, and

more than one might expect. He maintained a positive outlook despite acknowledging and voicing dour notes like the following, a bit of perspective he gleaned from his ouster at Citigroup. It signaled the end of his time as a high-ranking official in arguably the largest financial institution in the world at the time, and he acknowledged the role his race may have played in the manner in which he was treated during the saga.

“There’s an important lesson here for aspiring minority executives, public company boards of directors, and the broader business community,” Jones writes. “It is to understand that these kinds of immoral and cynical events can occur even at the highest levels of the largest and most respected companies in America.”

Jones has led a life of enough excitement and significance to satisfy more than one person, and “From Willard Straight to Wall Street” encapsulates that fairly well considering how many stories are packed into the book’s 11 chapters. Unlike some who pen life reflections out of some form of boredom or morbid self-assessment, Jones seems to understand that there’s true value in his story and that to not share it would be a waste.

“I thought it was a story worth telling, something historians might be interested in,” Jones said. “But also something that America needed to understand and reflect upon. It doesn’t mean that everything is perfect, but it means that this country has changed enormously in the last 50 years for the better, and frankly I think the country should spend more time recognizing how much progress has been made [...] even as we continue to recognize and understand that we have further to go.”

Prescription: More Dinosaurs Mary Beth Ihnken’s vivid CMC installment helps aim for children

By Tyl e r Lu c a s intense feelings of anxiety related to doctor’s offices and hospitals, which is why local muralist Mary Beth Ihnken has undertaken a unique and exciting project at the new Cayuga Medical Center location that is being built on Hanshaw Road.

Ihnken is in the process of completing her third black The new black light mural in Cayuga Medical Center’s light mural for the phlebotomy rooms.

to the eye, especially in young children.

Such bright and engaging artwork can only be fully appreciated in person, and this past week I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to do just that, and ask Ms. Ihnken more about her work.

As I approached the partially completed medical center, I asked one of the construction workers where I might find Ms. Ihnken, half expecting a confused look and a shrug. Instead, he immediately grinned widely and exclaimed, “Oh, you mean the dinosaur lady!” He led me inside to the room she was painting, which was dark save for the large, glowing dinosaurs on the wall. Ihnken has found that dinosaurs are some of her favorite subjects to paint, and they seemed like an apt choice to distract and calm future patients.

Indeed, the Maiasauras and Trodden that greeted me on the wall were imposing, but also distinctly friendly looking. These specific dinosaurs were chosen for this mural, because theoretically that they had the strongest maternal instincts and highest intelligence, respectively, of their time period.

Ihnken is careful to conduct such thorough research while preparing for her murals because “We live in Ithaca. People will question,” she says, laughing.

Ihnken’s work has always been motivated by a strong connection to her community. After graduating from Rutgers, she moved to Ithaca in 1994 and quickly began painting furniture, which segued into more public works like her murals and paintings. She also does many

private works along the East Coast, but she strongly prefers “painting big.” She’s completed murals for Alternatives Federal Credit Union, Tompkins County Library, Caroline Elementary School and DeWitt Middle School, to name a few. Ihnken’s personal favorite out of her oeuvre is the 50-foot mural she painted for the Museum of the Earth in 2015, when they received a Stegosaurus skeleton from the Smithsonian. This increased her interest in dinosaurs as a subject matter, in that they elicit a positive, inquisitive response from the viewer. She told me that as an art student, “I learned a lot about theory, but I just enjoy paintings that are pretty and put a smile on your face.”

Ihnken describes her work as “realistic, with some colorful whimsy.” Given the unforgiving logistics of painting blacklight murals, her style has had to evolve slightly to suit her current medium. First of all, black light paints don’t mix normally, so much of the conventional theory used in painting does not apply. Also, black light generally limits detail, and some of the specialty paints have less than a twoweek lifespan once they’re opened, so the murals need to be completed relatively quickly. Since the paint is also invisible unless viewed in total darkness, much of the work needs to be completed in the dark.

However, Ihnken cites her versatility as a key asset throughout her career: “If you really want to be an artist, you have to be flexible,” Ihnken said.

PARKING STUDY Contin u ed From Page 4

development projects would generate the need for an additional 300 to 500 parking spaces in Downtown Ithaca.

With the Green Street Garage undergoing a much-needed rehabilitation project in the coming months, this leaves downtown with just the Cayuga and Seneca Street garages that will be fully operational. In the coming years, though, the Seneca Street Garage will be undergoing a similar rehabilitation. Though a timeline has not been established for when the work will begin, according to Cornish, the city will send out requests for expressions

of interest within the next six months for the Seneca Street redevelopment.

One thing the city wishes to avoid is any overlap in the closing of the Seneca and Green Street garages. Since the Seneca Street Garage still has some life left, this could be easily avoided. According to Cornish, that will be a prominent factor in how the Seneca Street Garage project is phased.

“We’re looking very carefully at how to phase this,” Cornish said. “We have put a substantial amount of money into the Seneca Street Garage, so there is life left in it. Not a 20-year life span, but it’s a 5- to 10-year lifespan. We feel that while we do need a plan for replacement of that garage, [with] the Seneca Street Garage, we have

like to do is get through the Green Street Garage and associated residential project and then move on to [the] Seneca Street Garage.”

Despite a lack of details as to what will be prioritized at the Seneca Street Garage, the idea of putting a new downtown bus depot on the ground floor has been considered. There are also talks of adding in some retail spaces on the first floor as well.

Overall, Cornish hopes this will help to make the first floor more active.

Other considered ideas include adding more parking to both garages but Cornish is set on finding other means of parking that doesn’t require residents to constantly park in the garages. Recently, the city received a grant for a Transportation Demand Management Program in the downtown area, which has given rise to a plethora of ideas on how to expand the number of places to park around Ithaca.

Some of the concepts being explored to keep many residents’ cars out of the downtown garages are park and ride lots and implementing a new scooter share program that would accompany the already existing bike share program. One idea behind these is potentially putting scooters at park and ride lots to allow people a different way to get to Ithaca’s downtown core.

Locations are being scouted for where some of these park and ride lots could be.

For now, Cornish said the city is looking near the big box stores, or somewhere people could either walk, bike, or use a scooter to get downtown. Another proposed idea was to implement a shuttle bus that would circulate from the lots to downtown.

The newly emptied spaces in the garages would then be free for either shoppers or visitors. As downtown Ithaca continues to develop, the issue of parking will continue to grow. Cornish knows this is something of a conundrum, but is ready to spend a great deal of time to solve it.

“It’s sort of a double-edged sword in the city because we’re so lucky to have all this development, whereas other upstate cities are not growing,” Cornish said. “But, at the same time, it’s painful when you grow this fast and you have aging infrastructure.

We’re just trying to balance that, predict the needs and also to allow for more development if that’s the case in downtown, but we have to make sure we can accommodate it.”

Boomerang Ninja wants others in on the fun

By Ste ve L aw re nc e

F

amous parental buzzkill sayings include: “You’ll never make any money doing that!” or “You’re wasting your time!” and “You should be developing marketable skills.”

When I asked three-time World Boomerang Champion Logan Broadbent if he had ever heard such admonitions, he laughed and said, “No, I have been around boomerangs my whole life. My dad has made boomerangs his life’s work.”

Indeed he has. Gary Broadbent is a four-time world champ, a member of the USA Boomerang Team, owns Broadbent Boomerangs and spends a lot of him time using boomerangs in appearances that combine demonstrations and motivational messages. Logan said, “After falling in love with Australia, he tried a number of storebought boomerangs, but they didn’t work.”

Given Gary was unsatisfied with their quality and aerodynamic capabilities, so, as his son stated, “He figured out how to make them, and he started competing.”

Logan has taken his dad’s recipe for spreading the Gospel of Boomerang, added his own pinch of media savvy and taken it to new levels. His is a viral trickshot artist (aka Dude Perfect on YouTube) and his videos have north of 50 million

views. He knows how to hire the right people to work the publicity pipeline, and that team effort has put him on American Ninja Warrior three times. On that show, he is known as—what else—“The Boomerang Ninja.”

Broadbent landed in this column because he will be offering a free demonstration at Cornell’s Barton Hall this Saturday from 3-6 p.m. Many of us who have never seen an updated demo or video hold onto the tired old image of a person throwing the boomerang, waiting for it to circle back around, then catching it. Logan shared a number of the different disciplines, saying “Contrary to some perceptions, boomerangs are not used for hunting, or for throwing at each other.

There is a series of events in competition, for example, Fast Catch, in which you throw and catch as fast as possible.” He added, “There is an endurance event and a doubling event in which you’re using two at once.” High-level boomerang throwers unleash it at around 80 mph, and Logan holds the current U.S. distance record.

When asked how far he threw it, he humbly offered “177 yards out and 177 yards back.”

Of commercially made boomerangs,

Logan Broadbent became the youngest ever member of the US Boomerang Team at age 14. (Photo provided)

Logan said “They’re kind of where they were years ago, and we’re trying to change that.” He speaks fondly of what he calls “the collective boomerang community,” and he said that community is comprised of “doctors, lawyers, businesspeople, artists—we’re all into sharing tips, info and technology.”

Speaking of the technological aspects, the boomerangs can be made of traditional wood (like birch), aircraft-grade plywood, fiberglass, nylon, plastic or carbon-fiber. The basic models can cost around 20 bucks, while the carbon/Kevlar/ epoxy units cost well over $100 I asked about the concept of a “boomerang team,” and Logan said, “Most people think of boomerang as a solitary sport, but it’s a blast in parks or beaches.

There are a lot of things you can do as a group.”

Broadbent’s appearance at Cornell might include his friend Kian Snousser, another expert who happens to attend Hobart. The demo will, Logan said, “be a combination of the history and science of boomerang, plus some motivational and personal stories.”

Sounding a bit autobiographical, he added, “You know, motivating people to take what they love to do as far as they can, and maybe even make a living.”

The event will be interactive, and Broadbent will be doing some teaching of various throws and catches as well. For more info, visit http://www.loganbroadbent.com.

A barn’s second life as a versatile event location

By Peggy Haine Artist/stonemason Kevin Reilly fell in love with a derelict 19th century threestory threshing barn that straddled a stream, had a broken ridge line and could just barely hold itself up. But it called out to him from its spot on Newfield’s Decker Pond, speaking of its decades of useful agricultural life and practical construction.

So Reilly bought it and took it apart, numbering boards as he went. Loading the post-and-beam, mortise-and-tenon skeleton onto three flatbed trucks, he hauled it back to his property on the edge of Robert H. Treman State Park. There he built a beefy stone foundation for it, and with the help of dozens of local craftsmen (carpenters, electricians, roofers, iron artists, barn restoration experts) put the monumental puzzle back together again.

With green-friendly design in mind, Reilly embraced high-technology electric work, radiant floor heat, air conditioning and tight construction practices.

While Reilly and his wife and partner, Leslie Carrère, first thought to make the

restored barn their home, they say its majestic 6,000-square-foot size and pleasing proportions called for a higher use. The Treman Center was born of a desire to provide an inspiring home for gatherings of all sorts, and support for community interaction and participation.

Carrère, the center’s factotum, problem solver-in-chief, returner of phone calls and general magician-in-residence had the community vision. She also had the eye for interior décor and for many of the building’s design elements, including four hip bathrooms and a lush and sprawling collection of living greenery. Her genius for working with clients to bring their own ideas to fruition brought early and continuing success to the three-yearold center. While the structure itself is astonishing, to its creators the focus is on “simplicity, elegance and whimsy”—and community.

Leading up to this venture, Carrère’s accomplishments included captaining trans-Atlantic ocean crossings, teaching art in Italy, heading the design firm LunaMedia and founding the not-for-profit Restore the Earth Foundation, which has reforested thousands of acres of Louisiana and Mississippi post-Katrina coastline, among other accomplishments. Reilly is

most beautiful state parks in the region, but also close to town and with easy access and plenty of parking […] special, lovely, unique.”

While wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners help keep the lights on and are, according to the center’s raft of thank-you notes, a joy to bridal couples and their families, the center continues to be a draw for all sorts of events, large and small. It has been an inspiring setting for Educate the Children’s and others’ fundraisers, a Cornell Information Science retreat, a couple of Flamenco festivals (one with artists from Spain, the other with performers from Taiwan), teaching sessions conducted by Qi Gong masters from China, a retreat for Cornell’s architecture faculty and a semester-long charette for its students, events for Cornell’s hotel and management schools, a retreat for Ithaca College’s Student Council, painting classes offered by Cornell Professor Terry Plater, and dozens of other gatherings and events. It can host up to 150 for meetings or conferences, and has many options for break-out session locations. In addition, it is handicap-accessible on both first and second floors, and has four comfortable bathrooms.

The place bursts at the seams with surprising amenities. A Steinway grand piano provides support for concerts and cocktail music.

Kevin Reilly and Leslie Carrère first wanted to make Treman Center their home, but instead they decided to convert the old barn for other purposes. (Photos provided)

Gathering places include areas around the four indoor fireplaces, the reflecting pool, the stone fire pit, and dozens of nooks and crannies throughout the building and grounds.

In summer, the lawn, enclosed by 535 feet of dry-laid stone walls and stone steps leading to Hines Road, is home to a towering beige stretch tent imported from South Africa.

In the spring, apple trees’ blossoms spread their fragrance around the grounds. And the property across the street, also owned by Reilly and Carrère, while as yet undeveloped, is home to an additional 500 feet of dry-laid stone wall and a chorus of stone columns, both round and square. In the center’s three short years in existence so much has been created, and the possibilities are endless for continuing to shape both a property and a community.

A barn of that size could have been creaky, dark and dismal, but the owners chose lightloving walls of windows on the first and second floors, and painted interior walls and original hand-hewn beams white. The view takes in a Tuscan-inspired stone patio and reflecting pool surrounded by 12-foot-high stone walls pierced with small round windows, and by low seating walls. The patio’s large slate pavers, lovingly collected piece by piece over Reilly’s stonemason career, are punctuated by mammoth pots of elephant ear plants during summer. Indoors, gargantuan 200-year-old slate slabs, formerly Pennsylvania sidewalks, cover tubing for radiant-floor heating, and guests can additionally warm themselves before one of the barn’s four fireplaces. In summer, the stone floors’ natural cooling is enhanced by air conditioning.

Dryden resident and author Louis Eltscher has a book out now recounting stories of German resistance to Nazism. (Photo by Casey Martin)

A History Account For All Time

By Isabe l l e Philippe

L

ouis Eltscher is a passionate historian with a love of politics and, of course, history. The author’s upbringing in a distinctly turbulent time of history has nurtured his profound respect for and dedication to the subject.

Born to German-American parents in 1932 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Eltscher’s childhood was heavily saturated with World War II propaganda. Within the United States, people of German ancestry faced a number of hateful comments and actions as a result of the war. Anything associated with Germany became stereotyped as blood-thirsty and barbaric. As a result, Eltscher wondered about his own characteristics and attraction to militarism, which manifestly led to a lifelong study of German history and the publication of “Traitors or Patriots?: A Story of the German Anti-Nazi Resistance.”

The book features numerous accounts of groups and independently-acting individuals who sacrificed their lives in 16 T

the attempt to rid Germany of the morally corrupt and ruthlessly murderous Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime. Beginning at the conclusion of World War I, Eltscher recaps the desolate conditions succeeding the end of the war that inevitably made an economically- and socially-weakened Germany susceptible to Hitler’s rise and false promises. Eltscher is thorough and comprehensive in his relation of German history, recounting everything from the early influences of Prussia on the German army to the demise of the Weimar Republic, a condition that contributed to the rise of the Nazi Party.

This broad study of German history becomes narrowed down as Eltscher pinpoints key individuals and morally disillusioned groups who sought Hitler’s elimination. Concisely written and incredibly informing, Eltscher’s second edition of this work illuminates the history of a discordant nation whose experiences serve as applicable lessons for world events today.

“Traitors or Patriots,” a decade long work in the making, is written for those who wish to learn more about history and its implications. According to Eltscher, all information within the book is featured in published accounts, with more than 95 percent coming from German history books.

The primary goal he hopes to convey is that not all Germans of the time were Nazis. There were individuals within Germany who fiercely opposed Hitler’s rule and the actions that came with it. A number of people, both individual and collective groups, were willing to risk death as a result of their deeply imbued moral courage to rid the nation of Nazis and restore Germany back to its former glory. Though the regime did see the support of many German people, there were a number of factors (economic, political, and emotional) all touched upon within the book that clearly exemplify just how conflicted many were by Hitler’s violent actions and his words of promise for a better Germany.

It is exactly this conflict that Eltscher accredits to being one of the most difficult parts in writing the book. During his process, he wished to remain balanced and neutral, illustrating how deep-rooted evil does exist; however, so too do those with substantial senses of morality and courage who are willing to challenge death at the desires for a brighter future.

Eltscher’s attribute to the greatest failure of the anti-resistance movement points to a certain irony: the attempted assassins were not blood-thirsty enough. They did not harbor the supposed German characteristics that defined their nation and brutal ruler. Many groups and individuals themselves, particularly within the army, longed for a return to Imperial Germany and desperately believed Hitler would serve as the messiah, the benefactor that would revive the nation’s golden days.

Particularly in political climates across the world today, Eltscher’s account of Nazi Germany serves as a potent warning to the harms of totalitarianism. He finds that the vilification of the adversary can often leave the public susceptible to people with political prowess, as was the case of Germany following the conclusion of World War 1. Political and military struggles found across the world today highlight his theory. Yet, by his clear descriptions of key resistance figures, Eltscher demonstrates a hopeful attitude towards nations that parallel Germany’s once-totalitarian police state, for where there is a source of malevolence, just assuredly lies a source of integrity waiting to be surfaced.

Louis Eltscher resides in Dryden, New York. The author currently does not have any upcoming works. “Traitors or Patriots?: A Story of the German Anti-Nazi Resistance” is available for purchase now.

Fantastical “Alice in Wonderland Jr.” takes the stage

By Linda B. Glaser

Running to Pl a c e s’ (R 2P) mu sic al produ c tion of “Alice in Wond e rl an d Jr.” i s not the Walt D i sne y mov ie . It ’s be t te r.

T

he stage version of Lewis Carroll’s tale has snazzier dialogue, new songs and characters, and an emphasis on inclusion. Every kid has a line, as artistic director Joey Steinhagen reminded them in a recent rehearsal at the Just Be Cause Center, and even if it’s only a gasp, that line is important.

The story is the familiar one: Alice follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole into Wonderland, where she wanders about having fantastical adventures and meeting a dizzying area of eccentric beings. Those include the funny Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who say nothing of any sense—which turns out to be one of Alice’s many lessons in the show.

“We’ve all had moments when nothing makes sense,” said Maggie Schneider (Tweedledee). “Alice learns how to deal with it.”

Julia Smith said her Alice “is really spunky, high energy and adventurous.”

One thing about a middle school-only cast: all that energy makes for a very entertaining production.

Lily Ryan’s “small” Alice becomes “tall” through a particularly fun bit of staging that I will not spoil for readers by divulging, but suffice to say that the local Circus Culture was involved.

There’s a quintet of flowers, the snootiest girls in school, who have a Diana Ross and the Supremes-like big musical number, and a trio of Cheshire cats who narrate and serve as mischief makers.

My favorite character description, though, comes from Corinne Ford about the Queen of Hearts who, she said, “is a bit of a nightmare. She has control issues.”

But this is a friendly ensemble cast, very much a family, according to company members.

“There’s no drama behind the scenes,” said Mwape Sokoni (Caterpillar)—which is saying something for a middle school production. That camaraderie makes for rehearsals where the actors are willing to take risks, which translates onto the stage as great chemistry between the actors. This enables the enormous cast (more than 60) to run through the family-length produc-

tion in an hour and a half. It’s a nice, tight show, Steinhagen said.

And a funny one, too, with everything from Gilbert & Sullivan in-jokes to Bugs Bunny references. Adults will appreciate the humor, while the younger audience members will no doubt be impressed by the action on stage.

“The dancing is captivating, especially for the younger audience,” said choreographer Harmony Malone. “There’s a lot of movement in a little bit of time. I think a lot of people will be wowed.”

Resident music director Jeremy Pletter said the songs are “jazz, jazz, jazz the whole time. The music is challenging and complex and seriously fun.” Sokoni even does scat and trumpet solos as the caterpillar.

But the show is not just about having fun. There are life lessons to learn here about the importance of being yourself; as Steinhagen said, Alice is “taking her own

power, to be who she is and not apologize for it. As an organization, R2P tries to encourage this in all of our kids, too.”

From the White Rabbit, said Maren Friedman, Alice learns that “instead of always worrying about things that make you anxious, focus on the moment.” A lesson we all could learn.

The performance will be held in R2P’s (temporary) Theatre at the Shops at Ithaca

Mall in the former Sears/Ultimate Athletics space, while the permanent theater at the mall is under construction. Entrance is through the food court.

The show runs one weekend only: April 5-7, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m.. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students and seniors, available online at www.runningtoplaces.org.

I.C. Film Course Creates Twilight Zone Spinoffs

By E dw in J. Vie ra

(Students Chrissy Guest’s Fiction Field Production Class at I.C. (Casey: Martin)

very New Year’s Eve, some people gather with family members to bring in the new year with a great deal of fanfare. Others choose to watch one of the many television marathons that air that night. Many people choose the great comedies that are “The Odd Couple” and “The Honeymooners,” while others go for something a little darker, like “The Twilight Zone.”

“The Twilight Zone” will be coming back to television for a third time, only with Jordan Peele taking the place of Rod Serling as host.

Ithaca residents will always remember Serling for the time he spent teaching at Ithaca College.

Professor Chrissy Guest has been teaching Fiction Field Production, a 200-level course, at Ithaca College for a few years in the televisionradio program.

For this class, she’s developed a special project based on Serling’s series.

The project is called “The Twilight Zone Cross-

overs,” and allows her students to create a story around a background character in any one of the original episodes of “The Twilight Zone.” She allows her students to take an in-depth look at just how the character might have gotten to a certain point in the story. The short films are shot in black and white, running about four minutes in length.

One of the challenges Guest wants to see students attempt in their projects is to use Serling’s style of having a social justice theme in their episodes. In the class, she talks about cultural bias as well as how science fiction has challenged social and cultural norms. Guest found the inspiration while she was waiting for the elevator in the Ithaca College library around the time she first started working at Ithaca College.

“I saw a plaque next to the elevator that said Rod Serling’s archives were on the fifth floor of the Ithaca College library and I just said, ‘We have an archive?’” Guest said. “So, I wandered up to the fifth floor and met with Bridget Bower, the archivist for the Rod Serling collection, and she was saying at that time people were using it but not as widely as you might hope. I thought I have to do something with this. This is such an amazing resource that Ithaca College has, especially the Park School.

I thought, ‘How could I incorporate the archive, that type of research into the production classes I’m already teaching?’”

Glenwood Pines

By He nr y Stark

A

n Ithaca restaurant in virtually the same building for almost 100 years? With the same ownership for almost 40? And still thriving?

That’s amazing, and that’s Glenwood Pines.

“The Pines,”as many call it, is a destination restaurant: it doesn’t depend on a mall or downtown foot traffic for clientele. A free-standing building located on the west shore of Cayuga Lake, diners must choose to go there and most need to have access to a car to carry out their wish.

There are two main dining areas: one I enjoy frequenting, and one not so much.

When you enter the establishment, you find yourself in the bar area, with about a dozen chairs facing a couple of TVs as well as tables for approximately two-dozen diners. A pool table and some game machines are very much in view. Many regulars prefer this area. I, on the other hand, head to the adjacent dining room with a view of the lake. That room, with a capacity for three-dozen diners, is surrounded by wood-paneled walls and many windows, offering a more rustic atmosphere. There is also a third dining area which is used for group reservations and overflow during busy periods. It’s down a rather steep flight of steps toward the lake.

Management touts the Pinesburger ($7.45) as “world famous.” I do like it, however, even though it’s meant lightheartedly, it seems like a bit of hyperbole.

The beef is ground in-house and it’s a large portion served on a hunk of Ithaca Bakery white French bread. It’s topped with raw onions, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese.

Since I usually order meat rare, the cheese comes barely melted but that’s expected.

Unless you’re a mayonnaise aficionado, I would recommend the Thousand Island dressing. For my personal taste, I’d prefer the bread to be grilled or toasted and the

onions, which when raw can have a sharp bite, sautéed.

Having never heard of a steak named for a sport, I once asked my server why a steak was named a “10 oz Baseball Filet” ($21.95). The server responded, “Because it’s shaped like a baseball.” Oh, of course!

I ordered it anyway and it was one of the few steaks I’ve ever had that was flat, round and delicious. Rare, as ordered, lean and appropriately salted. One of the accompanying two sides was a salad of fresh, refrigerated, crispy greens.

There are daily specials listed on the menu. On a recent Friday I chose a cup of chili ($3.50), which was loaded with meat and had a bit of a “bite.” I liked it.

The side salad features crisp, cold, iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, cucumbers and even a few diced green peppers. Refreshing and healthy.

Another Friday special I ordered was a Reuben sandwich. Nothing exceptional, but it contained all the proper ingredients (corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese) and made for a pleasant lunch.

The Cornell Marinated Chicken Sandwich ($7.45) was excellent. It featured a generous portion of grilled, smokey and juicy chicken on a bit of lettuce with a couple of tomato slices. As with the Pinesburger, I would have liked the bread to have been toasted or grilled.

There are about a half-dozen desserts.

Long ago, I found a “winner” which I always order if I’m in the mood at the end of a meal. Perhaps, I gravitate to it because rice pudding is the only homemade dessert on the menu. It’s a large portion served in a bowl. There are three things I’d like to mention about this dish: 1) It’s made in large quantities every few days; however, the minor aging doesn’t seem to detract from its freshness 2) It’s

really good with cinnamon sprinkled on top and 3) I wish the whipped cream was homemade, however, I understand that keeping a desirable consistency over some hours, or making it to order for each customer, would present a problem for a busy kitchen staff.

The wine menu, which is heavily skewed to the Finger Lakes region, is adequate, with just over a dozen to choose from ( $4.25-$6.50/glass). There are many selections of beer on draught and in bottles.

Glenwood Pines is a local favorite featuring burgers, steaks and a view of Cayuga Lake in one of its two dining rooms. (Photo by Casey Martin)

“The Pines” is located on Route 89, 4.3 miles north of the intersection of Buffalo and Fulton Streets.

The restaurant is often noisy, and sometimes the bar dining area, with the pool table, can be quieter than the main dining areas.

students use the most as the basis for their projects, Guest has seen a recurring theme in many of the projects.

“The theme that seems to come up in the last two times that I have assigned this is invisibility and not being recognized; it is interestingly enough a theme the students often propose,” Guest said. “I find that interesting considering the amount of social media they have and their lives are so openly seen. Yet, this sense of not being seen is prevalent in their exploration of characters.”

Spencer Kenney, a junior televisionradio major at Ithaca College, met the assignment head-on. Her group came up with the idea for a story called “I Believe in Miracles,” originally titled “Brilliant Bombshell.” The person they chose is from the Season 2 episode “A Penny for Your Thoughts.”. The plot of the episode played a great deal on her group’s decision to use her character.

The episode centers around bank teller Henry B. Poole, who, when buying a morning newspaper, tosses a coin to pay for it, which then lands on its edge. Upon this happening, Poole suddenly gains the ability to hear people’s thoughts. One extra in the episode caught Kenney’s attention and became her muse.

“The girl that we picked [from the episode], she’s in a bank counting money,” Heeney said. “He can read minds and when he goes to her, there is nothing in her brain. That ticked us off in a way and that’s why we wrote it where just because she’s a girl. So, then we decided to make her smart.”

Kenney’s film is about a young woman in the 1960s who is a lab researcher named Matilda. She isn’t taken seriously by her male colleagues and longs to be treated as an equal. The lab’s receptionist sends

her to a creepy salesman who sells her a miracle beauty cream. After applying the cream, she wakes up the next day to find she is beautiful.

However, her colleagues do notice her, but only for her beauty and not for her intelligence. This becomes an especially cumbersome problem for Matilda when she finds a side effect in a drug that will primarily harm women. Most of her colleagues think she is having a mental breakdown, though she isn’t. But when the doctor comes in and she tells him what’s going on, all he says is, “You’re so pretty when you cry.” Kenney wanted the movie to show how women couldn’t be taken seriously, whether they were pretty or ugly.

Some of the major difficulties in getting this film completed was a combination of coordinating the schedules of everyone in her group as well as getting exterior shots for the film. Kenney described what specifically made filming in Ithaca such a challenge for getting certain shots.

“You have to get a permit, and some places like Homer, which is not too far away, you don’t have to get a permit to shoot there but it’s 40 minutes away,” Kenney said. “A lot of our exteriors are in Homer because we didn’t have to get a permit. But it would take three weeks to get a permit to shoot in Ithaca, so we did have to drive quite a bit to get outside shots.”

Despite this, Guest said the film was one of her favorites from those that were submitted this semester and is sure others will enjoy it as well.

Candor Rocks the Bald S

chools are usually quiet on weekends.

But on Sunday, March 31, the Candor Elementary School was rocking with music and cheers as the ninth annual St. Baldrick’s Shave-a-Thon got underway.

Forty-five people signed up to shave, said event organizer Kelly Starkweather, and that included 20 kids. There were even more people who participated in the morning 5K run-walk through town; they sported their cleat-marked T-shirts during the afternoon shave-a-thon.

Collectively over the past years, Candor has raised about $288,000. This year they hope to raise $50,000. As the clippers began buzzing, they were only a few thousand dollars shy of their goal. If you wonder why the community is so passionate about raising money to cure childhood cancer, all you need to do is look at the list of Honor Kids. These are the children living in and around Candor who have fought leukemia, medulloblastoma, and a long list of other cancers.

“We do this event because we hope that our children never have to suffer cancer,” said Starkweather. Not only are childhood cancers different from adult cancers, but the treatments are different. So, every penny raised at the Candor event goes directly to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation for

research and treatment.

There’s more than shaving going on at Candor’s St. Baldrick’s event. Volunteers and shavees who have donated three years of effort were made Squires of the St. Baldrick’s court. Seven-year volunteers and shavees were inducted into the Knights of the Bald Table, complete with a knighting ceremony performed by Honor Kids. And 10-year volunteers, Marvin Roberts, Lou Heavenrich, and Jill Parillo, were elevated to the rank of Knight Commander.

“Jill helped bring St. Baldrick’s to Candor,” said Kelly Starkweather.

“She’s shaved her head about four times.”

Though Parillo intended to go home with her hair, her son had other ideas. He promised the audience that if they could fill his bucket with $200, he’d get his mom to shave her head. Within minutes the challenge was met.

There was also a brisk business in raffle tickets at the side tables. Local businesses and individuals donated about 100 items: picnic baskets with wine and glasses, baskets of chocolates or raffle tickets or games or movie treats.
