Unions

Collegetown Starbucks to close, employees accuse company of union busting

S

tarbucks announced it would be closing its Collegetown store on June 10, giving workers a week’s notice about the closure. The store, along with the two other locations, voted in favor of unionization in April. A week after that vote, workers at the College Ave location went on strike for unsafe working conditions after a grease trap overflowed inside the store. Starbucks cited the grease trap as a reason for the store closure, along with staffing and “time and attendance” issues.

Starbucks did not return a request for comment in time for publication.

The worker committee is filing an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that “Starbucks closed the store in retaliation for activity protected by federal labor law and in order to stop workers elsewhere from organizing, and in violation of its legal duty to bargain over the closure.” The store employees called it “a clear attempt to scare workers across the country by retaliating against its own employees.”

According to Benjamin South, an employee at the College Ave location, the Starbucks district manager told employees that “Starbucks would bargain in good faith” when asked if the employees would still have jobs when the store closed.

“This is clearly retaliation for our small grasps at dignity as workers, but our strike showed them what power we have,” South said. “Taking a corpo-

ration to task is unprecedented, but our 100+ union stores are proof positive that there is an army of partners that won’t let Starbucks bully us.”

Evan Sunshine, a leading member of the unionization efforts, echoed this sentiment.

“We won’t let Starbucks get away with retaliating against us like this,” Sunshine said. “Whatever it takes, however long it may take, we will persevere.”

Nadia Vitek works at the Starbucks store on the Commons and said the closure of the College Ave store seemed like blatant union busting toward one of the

T A K E  Black Diamond Trail - The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation’s Finger Lakes Regional Headquarters hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of a newly built kiosk at the Black Diamond Trail trailhead on June 3. The kiosk includes

most “profitable and militant union stores in Ithaca.”

Indeed, former mayor Svante Myrick and current alderpersons Ducson Nguyen and Robert Cantelmo also expressed their concern online at the situation, with Nguyen noting on Twitter that the College Ave Starbucks location is “one of the busiest I’ve ever been in.”

“I’m a Starbucks shareholder and if this is retaliation it’s outrageous,” he wrote.

Also on Twitter Myrick called the closure shocking, adding that the “College Ave location may be the single most prime property in all of Upstate NY. Over 15,000 pedestrians cross it every day. There’s no way it isn’t profitable. This looks like union busting.”

Starbucks employees are organizing a “sip-in” on June 8 beginning at 12 p.m.

Customers are encouraged to order a water and leave a cash tip for baristas.

It was funded, in part, by the Finger Lakes Cycling Club in memory of Andrejs Ozolins, a longtime member of the club and a Black

Diamond Trail advocate and enthusiast. There is a landscaped section next to the kiosk with a rock that has a plaque dedicated to Ozolins on it. The bike repair station section was donated by Cayuga Ski and Cyclery, and the Friends of Stewart Park donated benches and bike racks.

he occasion was a sad one for sure, but what a family reunion it was...

The Cornell lacrosse family — consisting of hundreds of friends, fans and former players — converged to say farewell to its patriarch, Richie Moran, the Hall of Fame coach who passed away in April at the age of 85. Hundreds of people — friends, colleagues, former players and family members — made the journey, and while I will acknowledge some of them in the column, I apologize to the dozens I have omitted.

First and foremost, Marc Martone — with his distinctive thick silver mane — pushed on his cane and got up out of his chair every time someone introduced himself or herself at the church and at the aftergathering. Many said, “Please coach, don't get up.” Marc replied, “I always get up when I shake hands!” It was pointed out during the funeral that Martone was Richie's high

school football coach on Long Island in the 1950s, and is now 95 years old.

While Marc has known Richie longer than anyone (including Pat, Richie's wife of 61 years) many others were there who have known him for over a half century. Larry Young, Bob Rule, Frankie Davis and Jay Paxton — all members of the 1971 national championship (Richie's first as a coach) team — were there, now in their 70s, looking fit and vibrant, as was Mike Waldvogel, the assistant coach from that era.

Former player Bruce Arena was there... his name might be a familiar one...

Another group was there — several guys that were a part of the historic 42game win streak and back-to-back national championships. Bob Hendrickson, Jon and Mat Levine, Mike French and a few more.

I drop some of those names because of a very common — and special bond they share. Paxton is a retired 4-Star General,

he One World Market had a grand reopening on June 6. The nonprofit store has served the Ithaca community since 2000, and has continuously strove to advocate for international fair trade. It originally operated as a Ten Thousand Villages store, but in 2014 it decided to become a local, independent store under its current name. This reopening is a reflection of a post-pandemic change in management, and refreshed store interior.

The store’s previous manager, Curt Bayer, retired, leaving the board of directors to determine who the new manager should be. The board chose Mockingbird Paperie owner Suzanne Loesch. She had trained One World Market employees prior to her managerial role, and meshed well with the shop’s logisitics. Initially Loesch was hesitant to be both the One World Market manager and the owner of her own store, but in the end accepted the opportunity.

After being hired, Loesch made changes to the store’s interior. She cleaned the windows, and organized the back rooms of the shop. The floors were also remodeled, exchanging carpet for wood. Loesch also used the space of the second floor to feature more home decor and kitchenware,

as previously the store had focused more on selling jewelry and carpets.

The most distinctive change in the store, however, is a new mural on the wall neighboring the stairs. The mural depicts Dr. Nia Nunn’s profile against a radiant warm orange background, with florals on either side of her. Nunn is an Ithaca College professor and Ithaca icon well renowned in the Ithaca community as an artist, activist, and advocate.

Initially, Nunn hadn’t wanted to be the subject of the mural. The One World Market is reflective of a myriad of cultures, and Nunn didn’t feel like her personal relationship with culture was relevant to the store’s branding. Nunn was then reminded of how she has nurtured the Ithaca community, particularly in uplifting the voices of Black women and girls through involvement in the Southside Community Center and through directing other programs.

Her image on the wall would be an embodiment of empowerment. Specifically, Black female empowerment. Nunn finally agreed to have her likeness on the wall.

The store also has a more prominent virtual presence. While there was an online store created in 2020, One World Market has expanded to incorporate more social

media marketing for the shop. In January, they made an Instagram page [@oneworldmarketithaca], using product photography to show new items and gift ideas.

In reopening, there is also the intention to more effectively promote the store’s mission: providing fair, livable wages to artisans around the world. Not only can they support themselves and their families, but consumers will also benefit from knowing that they’re buying unique quality products without compromising their ethics. The store also supports artisans with small loans through kiva.org, another nonprofit that uses microloans which provide the artisans money that they can use for materials.

One World Market’s opening is a renaissance of what it means to buy ethically.

In refreshing and expanding its space, it’s never been easier to support fair trade.

Police

How much change will really come to the structure of the police department?

T

he debate surrounding the structural hierarchy of the Department of Community Safety continued as Common Council held an additional meeting on June 6 to discuss the issue. The plan as originally presented was to create the Department of Community Safety as an umbrella organization, overseeing the Division of Police and Division of Community Solutions. A chief of police would lead the Division of Police, while a head of community solutions would oversee the Division of Community Solutions; overseeing both divisions would be a civilian commissioner.

Adding a commissioner would trigger a referendum because it changes the reporting lines — the police chief would now report to the commissioner instead of the mayor (or possibly city manager in the future). As was discussed at the meeting, doing this would also trigger a wave of other changes, not only to the chief ’s position but to the deputy chiefs, lieutenants, sergeants, etc. It would also have civil service implications.

Director of Human Resources Schelley Michell-Nunn explained that when it comes to civil service roles, there’s a process called point factoring. Essentially, this looks at a position’s scope of supervision, impact on community, education and more. City Attorney Ari Lavine said if a commissioner position was created that would act as a department head and have final issue over things like budget, discipline and senior managerial staff, it would reduce the police chief position as a department head, which in turn would reduce the salary.

Alderperson George McGonigal said that if adding a commissioner would reduce the point factoring and salary for the chief of police, it would have the same effect on the deputy chiefs and lieutenants.

“It really creates a number of problems,” he said.

Another options proposed by council members is the possibility of a deputy chief of staff or deputy city manager who is in charge solely of all things public safety. On this year’s November ballot voters will decide whether or not to shift from a mayor-council form of government to a city manager-council form of government with a part-time mayor who is more outward facing. The city manager position would have oversight over all departments,

which Acting Mayor Laura Lewis pointed out currently includes more than 500 employees. However, that would not take effect until Jan. 1, 2024.

Currently, the mayor oversees all the departments and has a chief of staff to take on any duties delegated to them. Alderperson Robert Cantelmo said he would support the establishment of a deputy chief of staff for public safety to oversee and coordinate all matters public safety in the short-term.

“We have a lot of flexibility in creating a deputy chief of staff or a deputy city manager,” he said, noting, however, that a deputy city manager wouldn’t begin until 2024.

Adding a deputy chief of staff would not require a referendum, it would essentially only require the creation of a job description and funding in the budget.

Alderperson Jorge Defendini said he personally supports adding the commissioner position, as well as creating a police accountability board to support the commissioner.

Alderperson Cynthia Brock said she was feeling a little impatient, and thinks it’s important to make progress, and do it “deliberately, consciously and without delay.”

She said the draft of the local law to create the commissioner position still needs a lot of work, and that she wants to work with what the city has right now.

I do agree that we need to have an individual that is solely tasked with overseeing public safety,” she said. “I do believe the depth and breadth of this requires an individual person to do this. I think we can do

this without upsetting or restructuring our existing managerial structures, which the commissioner role would require.”

Brock noted that they could proceed with a deputy chief of staff right now and build a job description that could easily merge and evolve into a deputy city manager position if the referendum is approved.

“I’m feeling very impatient,” she said. “I think there’s a lot we can do right now. We need to come up with solutions that are grounded in the reality of what we have.

Let’s get it done.”

McGonigal agreed with Brock, and echoed that he prefers the deputy city manager position because it doesn’t create “all the salary compression implications that a commissioner would.”

There was much talk from many of the council members about not wanting to disrupt or change the current structure of the police department. However, MichellNunn reminded council that there are people, especially people of color, who think that’s exactly what needs to be done.

“My caution is that there are people who, like [Alderperson Phoebe Brown] says, look like me, that feel differently,” Michell-Nunn said. “They do want to see change. Not that it has to be disruptive, but I’m just cautioning us in terms of our language, and that we’re doing this because there is recognition that something different needs to happen. And I just think it’s important to keep that in the forefront.”

Brown agreed, stating that the whole goal of Reimagining Public Safety should be about reimagining and coming up with new ideas, not preserving what people say hasn’t worked for them.

Ultimately the discussion was just that, though there are plans to continue to pursue next steps as quickly as possible.

veryone needs help sometimes with mundane health issues such as rest and exercise, and I once read something that helped me with both, involving the olfactory.

It came from Dear Abby, the famed advice columnist, with a tip to a reader who had trouble with overnight travel because of difficulty sleeping in unfamiliar bedding.

Abby advised the reader to bring along their own pillowcase. It will help, she said, because it smells like sleep.

On a holiday trip I took the advice and found it sound, promoting sound sleep.

I get similar help in exercising, which I can generally use help initiating, from the scent of my workout clothes, which I purposely wash infrequently.

Certainly they would hardly take any time to rinse out after each session, but this would destroy a distinctive aura, let us say, that for me embodies emanation of a fit foundation. They smell like exertion, reminding me I’ve done it before and can do it again. Of course I will wash them before they actually break, but meanwhile I need maintenance more than they do.

This ripe topic comes to mind on the advent of Ithaca’s 13th annual Peter De Mott Peace Trot, a five kilometer run (and one kilometer “fun run”) held on Father’s Day every year.

Peter was an Ithaca resident and noted peace activist who died tragically in a work accident in 2009. He was a committed community member and an avid runner. His family and friends started the Trot to honor his memory, work and passions. Peter was the loving husband of Ellen Grady and devoted father of their four daughters, thus the Father’s Day date.

Peter and I were friends, and while I understood his dedication to physical activity in general and running in particular (“A day without sweat is a day to regret,” he used to say), I have never shared it enough to forestall, most days, the regret he described, although I find I can forgive myself fairly easily.

But I happen to know that Peter and I shared one aspect of exercise strongly: the care of the clothes. His daughter Cait once described in a humorous note the place in the house where his running clothes stood waiting for him every day, as in stood up. He used them a lot.

Despite his high sights in all aspects of life, Peter was the kindest, most encouraging and charitable of men, and the Trot reflects his openness to all levels of benevolent attempt and being. The event is for everyone: “Trot, run, walk, stroll, skip, mosey, saunter,” its website invites.

For the serious runners attending, it is a well-run competitive event. Leone Services, a decades-old company, provides computerized timing and results for all individuals in various groupings. Group winners receive, in the website’s words, “unique, practical, artistic or quirky prizes of their own choosing.”

“Quirky” might be an operative word, whatever the professional components.

The feeling is one of community and fun, with something of a festival air. A couple hundred people run, with family and friends accompanying. There are many children and seniors.

Also central to the event are social and political activism. Proceeds from registration fees and donations go to the Catholic Worker, a movement founded in the 1930s by Dorothy Day (currently under consideration for sainthood) and others to alleviate poverty and injustice, promote non-violence, and oppose war.

Peter worked with the group in Ithaca.

Catholic Worker houses provide shelter and support to people in need; the Ithaca house, on S. Plain Street, is named in Peter’s honor.

The group donates to others in support of varied work and emerging needs.

A Catholic Worker member writes to the Ithaca Times, “For the past five years the Ithaca Catholic Worker has tithed (given 10 percent of) our net monies raised through the Trot to racial justice organizations. We consider this a kind of ‘reparations,’ an acknowledgement that the playing field isn’t level, that groups lead by people of color don’t necessarily have access to the resources and networks that they ought to in order to advance their causes. So we’ve supported the traditional Cayugas, the Share Farm, Black Lives Matter, the Learning Farm, and others.”

The Trot is not just good exercise, but a good collective exercise. It brings a particular closeness and so, for me, will warrant a pre-race wardrobe wash. Peter wouldn’t mind one way or the other, but it’s a special day.

the home to families seeking to farm this property, as part of Khuba International’s Quarter Acre for the People (QAP) project.

“We hope to integrate youth education, sustainable agriculture and community development through hands-on programming and inclusive partnership-building in Tompkins County,” Christa said. “Our activities seek to engage and empower community members impacted by racism, redlining, genocide and colonization, and families who, despite historic trauma, seek to build healthy lives on this land.

We support Black and Indigenous community members who wish to forge their own land and food empowered paths.”

According to Christa, the families who will be embarking on this project have been meeting and discussing their vision for their cooperative development on this lovely land. As collaborators decide to grow mushrooms and berries, raise bees and sheep, plant orchards, and market their homegrown products, they are also considering what cooperative structure will best support harmonious co-dwellings and co-stewardship of land.

“We have been dining and talking at the Learning Farm and sending food to each other’s homes and then eating and talking over Zoom meetings,” Christa said. “Families have been getting to know and develop trust for one another and this landmark undertaking. As friendships deepen, the families are feeling their way to balancing individual family ideals with group projects. And on top of all that, they realize they are creating a blueprint for future cooperative land projects.”

The families participating in this endeavor — both on the newly purchased Danby land and other QAP farming cooperative projects — are diverse in themselves and hail from communities in the Caribbean, Vietnam, Ghana, Brazil and African Americans whose ancestors built this nation, but were kept from enjoying much of its benefits. Some are folks who have rented homes from wealthy landlords and corporations and wish to break cycles of marginalization and disenfranchisement.

Now, together, they begin their gardens and plan their own homes. Many of the participants are seasoned farmers, shepherds and gardeners, some with strong relationships to local farming networks.

Some have had their own garden plots or labored on local farms; some are new to it all and eager to learn.

“Building projects will be a combination of learning opportunities for new

landowners to realize dreams around culturally relevant architectural planning and collaborative building endeavors,” Christa said. “The Black-owned construction fi rms, ARDM Enterprises and TP Work Pro, will be consulting on projects as well. Cooperative participants, Yao Foli “Chacha” of Ndor Ecovillage [in Ghana] and Jay Smith, an Eco-Agricultural Activist and Food Justice Advocate, contribute their extensive knowledge and experience in farming, land stewardship, environmental protection, composting, permaculture, and land-centered healing to the project. As cohort members work on developing bonds of cooperative trust, models for self-governance, and a group method for working out the design of the communities, the breadth of knowledge of cooperative members brings the rich and diverse heritage and Indigenous ways of being on land. They aim to heal and support an array of dignity-affi rming and collaborative opportunities for all.”

In addition to the guidance of Town of Danby Planner David West, Assemblyperson Anna Kelles, and the Cooperative Development Institute, Christa also mentions Groundswell Center for Local Food and Farming and the Youth Farm Project as primary partners in this work to support farmers in realizing their land visions.

“These entities have provided land access, asylum, opportunities to grow and sell culturally relevant crops, youth leadership, and technical and financial support to many interested farmers over the years.” Christa cites their input and work as vital for a vision for food and land security in our region.

For more information about these projects, go to the websites KhubaIntl. org and LearningFarm.org, and contact khubainternational@gmail.com Stay tuned for news of Shirley Sherrod’s upcoming visit to Ithaca. Revered for her powerful role with Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), she is famous for her role in the Pigford case, which highlighted the disparity in USDA support for Black farmers.

The settlement of this case enabled Mrs. Sherrod to create a large community farm where Black farmers can create networks of business development and cooperation and find refuge in sustaining food systems of their own making. Collaborators in this event include Cornell’s Small Farms Program (Anu Rangarajan) and Global Development Department (Scott Peters) in conjunction with Building Bridges (Laura Branca), Youth Farm (Astrid Castillo & Katie Church), Social Ventures (Jeff Furman and Sara Hess).

Re: The art of bike racks

W

e have until July 1 to comment on the gaping holes in New York’s current draft Climate Plan, and we need to do so loudly, clearly, and in large numbers. Two key points: ban the use of PFAS-laden sewage sludge and end toxic incineration.

The state of Maine encouraged the use of PFAS-laden sewage sludge 40 years ago, as a result the Maine state legislature is considering establishing a $100 million fund to compensate farmers whose land is now TOO CONTAMINATED TO FARM (tinyurl.com/ycn2y2hl). Yes, you read that correctly: farmland in Maine is now too contaminated to farm due to this practice.

New York should never allow this devasting pollutant to be appplied to our farm fields and crops.

There are currently ten polluting trash incinerators in operation across NYS. Waste-to-energy incineration is the most inefficient, polluting, climate-destroying, and expensive way to generate energy and manage waste. These incinerators emit 1.7 times more greenhouse gasses compared to coal-fired power plants; and cost 4x more than solar and offshore wind energy.

These incinerators are responsible for emitting PFAS ‘forever’ chemicals that persist in the environment and in our bodies. Studies show that PFAS affect human’s cholesterol, hormones, and immune systems; and show a correlation between PFAS and certain types of cancers. Dirty, wasteful incineration like this needs to stop now.

Please submit comments by the extended July 1 deadline via nyserda. seamlessdocs.com/f/DraftScopingComments or via email to scopingplan@ nyserda.ny.gov.

The reasons for a personnel action could ble benign, even involve an employee’s request for privacy. No one should jump to conclusions. On this type of issue, we just have to trust our Board members to do their job and give the employee full due process.

By L au r a I l ioa e i

T

he Handwork is an artisan cooperative where participating artisan members can sell their crafts. These works include woodwork, glasswork, photography, jewlery, prints and leather goods. The Handwork is owned, operated

and staffed by its artist members. The last two years have affected Handwork’s staffing and operations, however.

“COVID brought a myriad of changes to Handwork and to the members of our coop at the time. During this time of change, we said goodbye to some members who

moved on to other priorities and pathways, some choosing to keep their work in our shop on consignment but were not able to staff the store. Since facing changes with COVID, opening our brand new online store and having some membership turnover, we decided to put out a Call for Art-

ists in July 2021,” Jill Hoffman, marketing and interim operations manager, said.

Following this Call For Artists, several new members have joined Handwork.

They all come from a variety of artistic disciplines, bringing in new perspectives and refreshing the space:

PASSED LEGEND contin u ed from page 4

played lacrosse at Cornell — have said many times that there is no doubt who taught them how to be leaders.

Retired NFL lawyer and Cornell Law professor Buck Briggs has known Richie for well over 50 years. Buck was there last weekend, and when asked in 2016 to say a few words in Richie's book, he referenced the Reader’s Digest feature entitled “My Most Unforgettable Character,” pointing to the iconic coach as his most unforgettable character.

Local media mogul Mark Goldberg was also asked to share some observations in the book, and he — having known Richie since his (Mark's) childhood — said, “Some people enable you to forget your troubles by just being around them.”

Goldberg's former boss and retired Cornell Sports Information Director Dave Wohlhueter was there, and he has gone on record as saying that of the hundreds of coaches with whom he interacted over the course of his long career, Moran stood head and shoulders above them all.

Dick Pepper and Larry Carroll — who were instrumental in working with Richie to get the Irish Lacrosse Foundation off the

ground in 2001 — made the trip, as did John Tillman, the head coach of the Maryland Terrapins, Richie's alma mater and the 2022 undefeated national champions.

Tillman played for Richie at Cornell 30 years ago, and he told me after making the six-hour drive, “I wasn't that good a player (that's being modest, he played some pro lacrosse) but I learned so much about the game from being around Coach Moran.”

As the co-author of Richie's autobiography and an invited eulogist, it was my honor to share the pulpit with Father Tim Murphy, who flew in from Mississippi to lead the service. Tim's father, John Murphy, was a dear friend of mine

— and of Richie's — and when he passed in January we knew we would miss him a lot. John was three months shy of his 100th birthday. On behalf of the church, Father Tim put forth the contention that it would be appreciated if I could keep my segment around 10 minutes. We looked at one another, simultaneously thought about the likelihood of my ability to encapsulate a 40-year friendship and the highlights of a 350-page book into a 10-minute eulogy, and we laughed and laughed...

or Ithacans, there are a few waterfalls that could be considered standards — Buttermilk Falls, Ithaca Falls, Lucifer Falls. But if you’re looking for something a little bit different to explore this summer, check out some of the falls below.

Free Fallin’ C H E C K O U T T H R E E F R E E A N D L E S SE R K N O W N WAT E R FA L L S T O V I SI T T H I S S U M M E R

AU N T S A R A H’S FA L L S Located in Montour Falls, Aunt Sarah’s Falls is more than several hundred feet tall from the top of the gorge. And while the top 2/3 of the falls are not accessible or visible, you’re still left with a whopping 90 feet of falling water to enjoy. The water falls freely and narrowly for about a third of the way, before fanning out across a steep slope of shale for the next third.

The final third falls freely again into a shallow plunge pool.

Thousands of years ago, the area would have been under water when the lake levels of Seneca Lake were much higher. The origin of the name isn’t known for sure, but it’s rumored to be named for the Seneca wife of a pioneer who jumped over the falls to her death.

The best time to visit Aunt Sarah’s Falls is after a heavy rain, as the water flow generally tends to be on the low side. The area is handicap accessible and pets are allowed on a leash, plus there’s no admission or fee.

It’s a quick and easy stop on your waterfall tour, but pays off with a dramatic photograph.

There’s no hiking to get to the view and it’s visible right from the parking area off Route 14. If you take Route 14 south toward Montour Falls, the waterfall will be visible on your right just before hitting the village. The parking lot is just across the street from the falls.

B y Tanner Harding

H E C T O R FA L L S Perhaps predictably, Hector Falls is located in the town of Hector, north of Watkins Glen.

The falls is generally considered 165 feet tall, though there are a series of cascading drops above the main falls that adds up to about 250 feet of waterfalls in total. Like with Aunt Sarah’s Falls, this water changes as it drops.

It begins with narrow, foamy cascades before spreading wider and wider across an expanse of shale and limestone. The best spot to see most of the falls is from the lake.

The upper third is visible from Route 414 or the creek bed, but you’ll have to get on a boat to see the entire cascade. You can either rent a boat or try a boat tour like Captain Bill’s. And because Hector Falls is just a couple minutes from Watkins Glen, it’s easy to make a day out of checking it out.

The best time to visit Hector Falls is after a heavy rain, as dry summers can reduce the stream to a trickle. The area is handicap accessible, but it’s not recommended to bring pets as the nearby highway is very busy.

There’s no admission or fee and you don’t need to hike out to the falls. Be careful when pulling over, as you’ll be parking on the shoulder of Route 414 where the speed limit is 55 mph. From the village of Watkins Glen, take Route 414 north along the east side of Seneca Lake for 2.5 miles. When you pass over a bridge, look to the right for the falls.

T I N K E R FA L L S Headed in a different direction, Tinker Falls is part of Labrador Hollow in Cortland County.

Tinker Falls is the smallest waterfall on the list, but offers a serene, wooded area to visit.

The top 50 feet of the falls is an overhang, with water dropping vertically before running down a rocky cascade.

This one requires a little more effort to reach. The falls are about 1,500 feet in on the Gorge Trail in Labrador Hollow, though the trails are mostly gravel and well-constructed.

There are some dirt portions that could get muddy after heavy rain, so keep that in mind.

The trail head is well marked and there are benches available if you need to rest. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the falls.

Because of the hike required, Tinker Falls is unfortunately not handicap accessible. Pets are allowed on leash and admission is free. If things have been extremely dry it might not be the best time for a visit, but generally the falls has a medium flow and doesn’t dry up completely.

To get to Tinker Falls, take I-81 to exit 14 and proceed east on Route 11 through Tully.

Turn right onto Route 91 south. Tinker Falls will be on your left, shortly after passing Labrador Pond on your right. There are two gravel roadside lots across from the trail head.

ortland Repertory Theatre is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and kicking it off with a performance of “Hair” on June 8 at 7:30 p.m. Before the show the theater is hosting a pre-show reception at Little York Pavilion, 6799 Little York Lake Road in Preble, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. There will be proclamations made by both the city and county of Cortland in honor of the anniversary, according to Producing Artistic Director Kerby Thompson.

So how did CRT get its start? In the winter of 1971-72, Dr. James Palmer, who was the associate director of theater at SUNY Cortland, and David Yaman, a real estate developer, noticed a need for a summer theater experience for Central New York residents and visitors.

With 23 charter members, CRT opened its doors on July 5, 1972 in the Pavilion at Dwyer Memorial Park on Little York Lake. For the next six years, the theater played an eight-week season, after which the format was changed to five plays running for two weeks each. In 1998, a sixth production was added to the schedule.

Thompson was hired in 2000, and since then CRT has undergone much growth. A 2005 capital campaign allowed for a sprinkler system and accessible elevator to be installed at the Little York Pavilion, and five years later a former bowling alley in downtown Cortland was purchased with plans to convert it into a year-round venue for the theater. After rais-

ing $2.5 million in five years, CRT Downtown opened. The new venue allows for stand-up comedy, concerts, cabaret nights, community dances and proms, alongside CRT productions, to be held year-round.

Since its first season in 1972, which opened with “Fiddler on the Roof,” “The Fantastiks,” “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown,” “Robin Hood,” and “The Bremen Town Musicians,” there has only been one “intermission” season in which no shows were performed — the summer of 2020, while the world was still learning how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The theater bounced back in summer of 2021 with “The Honky Tonk Angels,” “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)”, “Goin’ to the Chapel,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and “Pirate Schmirate!”

In its 50 years, the theater has performed classics like “West Side Story” and “Les Miserables,” as well as lesser-known tales like “The House at Pooh Corner” and “The Kitchen Witches.” This summer the schedule include “Hair,” “Over the River and Through the Woods,” “Kiss Me, Kate,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Treasure Island,” “Murder on The Orient Express,” “Upcycled Cinderella,” and “Mary Poppins.” There are generally three musicals and three non-musicals each season.

f you’re looking to explore a little local history on a rainy day — or just out of the blazing summer sun — The 1890 House in Cortland offers a reprieve from the outdoors. The stately mansion is located on 37 Tompkins St. in downtown Cortland and is open for tours Thursday-Saturday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and on Sunday from noon-4 p.m.

Guided tours are the best way to explore the house and can be booked ahead of time online, of you can take your chances as a walkin.

The tour guides will bring you through the four floors of the impressive house, and tours last between an hour and an hour-and-a-half.

They cover the Wickwire family history, servant life in the home, and the social customs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The guided tours do up to the second and third floors plus the cupola, so contact the museum ahead of time if you need an accessibilityfriendly tour.

House admission, which is for guided tours or self-guided tours, is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, $10 for military and students,

$5 for children ages 6-18, and free for children 5 and younger. Additionally, active duty military and their families receive free admission from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Ardell Rouse Wickwire, her husband Chester Wickwire, and their children Charles and Frederic moved into the mansion in 1890.

As the lady of the house, Ardell was in charge of running the house and supervising the staff, whom she met with every morning to go over daily assignments. Ardell was also heavily involved in the community as a member of the Finance and Entertainment Committees of the Cortland Library Association and the Social Committee and Women’s Auxiliary of the YMCA. The family also donated $80,000 toward the construction of the Cortland Memorial Hospital.

Charles, the oldest child of Ardell and Chester, married his childhood friend Mabel Fitzgerald, and the couple built the red mansion to the left of the 1890 House, which now serves as the SUNY Cortland Alumni House.

Wickwires, you’ll also hear about their staff, such as cook Margaret Stack, an Irish immigrant from County Limerick.

The grand mansion and comfortable lifestyle of the Wickwires was funded by their successful wire-weaving factory. Their factory was located on South Main Street and made the family into millionaires. The business produced goods like barbed wire, chicken wire, wire screening, window screens, coal sieves, corn poppers, dish covers, strainers and horse muzzles. They even suppled wire for the building of the Panama Canal.

Wire Works was the largest employer in Cortland by 1910 and contributed greatly to the city’s industrial and economic growth.

The last Wickwire to live at the 1890 House died in 1973. A group of Cortland County leaders, including Wickwire family members, campaigned to preserve the house and it became a museum two years later. The house aims to promote and interpret the historical and cultural significance of the property, while teaching visitors about the cultural heritage of the time period.

new historical marker at Lansing Town Hall commemorates Dr. Robert Baker’s work with the poultry industry, including developing the famous Cornell Barbecue Sauce recipe.

Organizers recently dedicated the new marker and held a chicken BBQ fundraiser at the nearby Bob Baker BBQ pavilion. Proceeds from the sale went to the Savage Club, an arts organization now headquartered in Lansing.

The chicken was prepared by Jeff Sandsted and his son, Travis Sandsted, grandson of Robert Baker.

The marker, funded by a grant from the William C. Pomeroy Foundation, reads “Barbecued Chicken Ca 1950. Dr. Robert Baker of Cornell U. developed chicken barbecue sauce & safe cooking methods to support fundraising by community groups in NYS.” The Town of Lansing passed a resolution in 2021 to honor Baker and authorize the commemorative marker. Baker resided in North Lansing from 1949 until his death in 2006 and was a professor of poultry science at Cornell.

His recipe for barbecued chicken was first published in a Cornell Cooperative Extension bulletin in 1952.

With a focus on helping community groups with their fundraising efforts, Baker perfected ways to cook chicken over charcoal fires. His technique allowed a few people, often volunteers, to cook hundreds of half-chicken pieces on screens using raised cooking pits. The screens had handles on each side, allowing just two people to turn screens holding 25 chicken halves.

Baker’s son, Dale Baker, says his father’s first chicken BBQ was at Penn State University in the late 1940s. “They asked him to host a BBQ for the governor of Pennsylvania,” said Dale. He learned from this experience to cook above ground using pits.

He also created a recipe for Cornell Barbecue Sauce that has been enjoyed for decades in New York and across the nation. The sauce includes vegetable oil, vinegar, salt, poultry seasoning, pepper, and whole eggs. “Prior to the Baker sauce, most barbecue sauces were tomato-based,” said Dale. “My dad loved eating raw tomatoes, but he was very critical of using sugary, tomato-based sauces for basting cooking meats because they burned easily.”

To give the most robust flavor, Baker taught the importance of frequent basting, especially during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

In 1949 Baker became an assistant professor in the department of poultry science at Cornell University. As part of his outreach efforts, he traveled to county Cooperative Extension offices around the state to teach about chicken BBQs as fundraisers, including the grilling

A new historical marker commemorates Dr. Robert Baker’s work with the poultry industry (photo: Provided) and sauce. He also taught the techniques to community groups and commercial barbecue cookers.

The following year, working with the NYS Poultry Council, Baker started selling BBQ chicken at the New York State Fair. Due to expenses, the Council decided to abandon the effort after the first year. The Baker family took it on as a family business, calling it Baker’s Chicken Coop. Baker’s wife, Jacoba, initially managed the business, followed by his daughter, Reenie Baker Sandsted, who took over in 1988.

Bakers Chicken Coop ended operations in 2019.

“We would cook about 1,500 chicken halves each day of the fair,” said Sandsted. “On a high demand day, we would cook 3,000 halves.”

Baker was also instrumental in the development of 50 chicken products, including nuggets and chicken hot dogs. He did research on deboning machines, eggs and turkeys. Baker passed away in 2006. According to his obituary in the New York Times, Baker oversaw the “fundamental transformation of the poultry business.”

The dedication of the historic marker was organized by Dale and Reenie, along with Donna Scott, who worked for Robert Baker for eight years in his product development baboratory in the poultry science department at Cornell. Scott prepared the application for the marker to the Pomeroy Foundation.

“Bob and his wife Jackie were wonderful people,” said Scott. “They regularly hosted his students at their home and if a student was alone at Cornell during holidays, they would invite them to stay at their home in North Lansing.”

Scott said that Baker was devoted to helping the poultry industry. “Even though his recipe helped community groups to fundraise, the original purpose was to help the New York state poultry industry to sell more chicken,” she said.

an Barry is the winemaker for Six Eighty Cellars in Ovid. He and Dave Pittard, the vineyard manager — who with his wife Melissa is the owner of both Six Eighty and Buttonwood Grove Winery in Romulus — have been making wine in containers that are not steel tanks or barrels.

“Finger Lakes wines have come a long way,” said Ian Barry, who has been in the wine business for 25 years and in the Finger Lakes since 2003. “What should we do to move the story forward? We were trying to see what’s next, so we looked to the Old World.”

The Pittards bought Buttonwood Grove from Ken Reimer in 2014 and inherited the Buttonwood winemaker Sue Passmore. Eight years ago they brought in Barry as a consultant and had him “tweak” the Buttonwood wines here and there. Then, in June 2020, at the start of what has turned into a two-year-plus pandemic, they purchased the former Toro Run Winery. Buttonwood Grove already distinguished itself by making good wine with some non-standard grapes, and the Pittards wished to distinguish Six Eighty from that established brand, as well as the rest of the Finger Lakes

wineries.

Most conversations about making wine include the question, “Did you make this in steel or oak?” For a long time Chardonnay made in oak barrels was popular because the wood imparted a rounded vanilla flavor to it. Then there was a backlash as people looked for something less oaky, and several Finger Lakes wineries began to make it in steel tanks (“French style”), which produces a brighter, lighter wine.

It was Dave Pittard’s idea, Barry said, to make Six Eighty’s wine in terracotta amphorae. Most of us first heard the word “amphora” when reading about the discovery of Bronze Age shipwrecks in the National Geographic magazine. Invented by the Greeks, who called it an “amphoreus” (handles on both sides), like so many other parts of Greek culture, they were absorbed by the Romans. The tall, curved Roman pots were mass-produced, made of clay, thrown on a wheel, and not glazed.

“Terracotta” is Latin and Italian for “baked earth.”

“Terracotta is very porous,” said Barry, “so it slowly oxidizes the wine. The Chardonnay that we have in it now is getting these nutty The

aspects.” It is still a bit raw, but he thinks that when it is ready it will be a bit “wild.” Barry often pauses before he chooses his adjectives when talking about the wines he is making in these off-beat vessels. It is clear that he enjoys the exploration, but like a 19th century New England whaler in the South Seas, he is not always sure how to describe what he is experiencing … but he likes it.

“We hope the novelty attracts people,” he said, “but we aren’t doing this just for the novelty.” In addition to the terracotta amphorae, Barry and Pittard are making wine in receptacles made of sandstone, concrete and glazed ceramic.

“Nothing hasn’t worked,” Barry said. “It produces a textural difference, more than anything, a nuance.”

In 2020 they made Pinot noir in a 1,200-liter sandstone jar. Like the terracotta pot or an oak barrel, the sandstone is porous. It allows for a slow oxidation process, but it doesn’t impart the flavor of a barrel. Instead, perhaps unsurprisingly, it gives the wine a “stony minerality.”

Six Eighty Cellars is not all-novelty-allthe-time. They also make Pinot noir in both Sum m er

new oak and older French oak barrels. The characteristic cherry notes are in both the sandstone and barrel-made batches but, said Barry, the wine made oak is more structured, fuller bodied and a darker color.

Barry described a 2020 Chardonnay made in sandstone as “the best of both worlds. The sandstone gives it weight and texture without the barrel flaver. It’s a rich mouth-filling wine with lots of layers.”

He has also been tasting wines made in concrete — Glenora and Dr. Frank are both experimenting with the medium — and he is convinced that it adds something but he is not sure how to describe it yet. “It’s too simple to say that it’s a stony note.”

Six Eighty Cellars has a concrete “tulip” (shaped like the unopened flower) imported from Italy. The sandstone “egg” came from France. “These are made of the material of the earth where they come from,” Barry said. “The Clayvers are more manufactured. They’re a bridge between the ancient and the modern.”

Indeed, Clayver is a brand name, and they were engineered and manufactured in Genoa, Italy. The company’s website says: “Clayver

needed texture and body,” he said, “so we went with the Clayvers.” This inductive, empirical approach has served them well so far, but Barry thinks it will be about a decade before they can unerringly match a vintage to a vessel.

“We keep extensive records of what we have done,” he said. “We’ve started a wine library, so we can go back and try the wines, instead of just relying on our memories.”

Oh, and why is it called “Six Eighty”?

“That’s the difference in altitude between the bottom of Cayuga Lake and the top of the vineyard,” Barry said. “We wanted people to ask that question.”

Dave Pittard and Ian Barry like asking questions. It’s what makes life and wine interesting.

ceramic wine barrels are made of a particular homogeneous and compact natural ceramic stoneware. This material is similar in many aspects to a natural granite … The intrinsic microporous structure of the ceramic material can allow a gaseous exchange with the outside of the container but only in limited quantities and on very long time scales.”

Barry and Pittard have made a Riesling in their Clayvers, as well as a Grüner veltliner and a Pinot gris ramato. In this latter style, the juice is left in the company of the pinkish-gray skins, giving the wine a coppery color.

680 is nominally an estate winery, but the Pittards do stretch the definition to include some Buttonwood vineyard grapes in the 680 wines. This means the lesser known grapes for which Buttonwood Grove is known are appearing in Six Eighty wines. For example, in 2020 they made a Pinot meunier — which is usually blended into Champagne — in French oak, as if it were a Pinot noir. “It’s a beautiful wine,” said the winemaker, “very similar to a Pinot noir. It’s a little wilder, like Pinot noir’s unrefined cousin from the country.”

The experimentation at Six Eighty extends beyond vessels and grapes and into the processing of the grapes. Pittard and Barry devoted one of their terracotta “cigars,” an amphora that is barrel-size, around 50 gallons, to making a Cabernet franc. “It was Dave’s idea to make it appassimento,” Barry said. “People associate it with an Amarone; you dehydrate the grapes beforehand.” Although used for centuries in the Valpolicella region of northeastern Italy, it only became an intentional style in the 1950s.

Barry regards himself as a “low intervention” winemaker, a philosophy that he shares with his employer. By this he means that he makes wines that “fit the vintage rather than being consistent from year to year.” If the grapes get more ripe in a given year, then the wines will be heavier. They don’t add sugar or subtract acidity and all their yeasts are indigneous; the wines ferment on their own. That given, “we’re not above fixing it, if there is a problem.”

Why low intervention? “That’s the basis of what wine should be,” Barry said. “It’s why we put a vintage [year] on a bottle. That growing season did or didn’t provide the sugar or the acid. The wine should be reflective of that year.”

Last year was a particularly challenging year for a low interventionist. It was cool and wet and the grapes “took their time” to ripen and “disease-pressure was setting in.” But Barry said that the early ripeners were fine and the later ripeners turned out well. “It was the mid-season grapes that had it the toughest.”

The multitude of different wine-making vessels make sense in light of this approach. If you are going to let your wine be what it’s going to be, you might as well give as many ways as you can to let it get that way. “We’re making it up as we go along,” Barry admitted. “We don’t know what Mother Nature will provide.”

Barry has a quarter-century of experience and Dave Pittard, although new to winemaking, comes from eight generations of apple growers. Between them, that’s a lot of intuition to work with. The winemaker offers his 2021 crop of Grüner veltliner as an example. “It

radley Gillett would like to make one thing clear from the get-go: it’s not flat and it’s not warm. British ale, that is. Real ale or cask ale, that is. Whatever you call it, it is served at cellar temperature, which is about 52° to 57°F, and it is naturally carbonated.

Americans, with our fixation on all things technological, insist on drinking our beer refrigerated to 36° and we force carbonation into it. It is not that Gillett is anti-technological.

Far from it; he financed the growth of Seneca Lake Brewing Company by licensing a travel technology platform that he developed.

Gillett was drawn to living and working in the Finger Lakes in the same way a lot of people are: he visited and was charmed. The region reminded him of where he grew up, in Cranleigh, England, a small village 20 miles south of London in the shadow of the Surrey Hills.

“We didn’t have the lakes, but we had the rolling hills and the outdoor lifestyle.” He loved the “lake life” here and the fact that it

was a wine region, so he purchased 20 acres in Rock Stream on the west side of Seneca Lake.

The brewery owner traveled around the world when he was younger and then began to work for corporate travel agencies. He moved from England to Dallas. In an increasingly online world, he built out his “custom travel companion” platform. In 2012 a New York City company bought his product, but he didn’t want to live in the city. A Portland, Maine company bought his platform, but they didn’t ask him to move to Maine, although he does like Portland.

In 2014 he bought the land in the Finger Lakes, which included a house and a barn. “I didn’t know what I was going to do with it,” he said. “Was it going to be a family home or a vacation rental or what?” One day he grabbed a couple of growlers at a regional brewery and drove up to his property and had a few beers on the deck. As he worked his way through the local brew, his future rose up before him. There were not many breweries in the area, and he had worked in a lot of bars, managed the cellars and the casks …

“I formed the LLC the next day,” Gillett said. “I saw the writing on the wall for the region.”

Eight years later his is one of 13 breweries arrayed around Seneca Lake. It took him two years to get his Rock Stream property ready, but in the meantime, he opened a temporary location across from Glenora Wine Cellars in Dundee. He opened his present location in July 2016 and closed the Dundee site at Christmas in the following year. The pandemic shut down the entire tourism industry for four months in 2020, but Gillett said he has been busier than ever since reopening.

The Beerocracy, as Gillett’s pub is called, is the “only fully dedicated cask brewery in New York State,” he said, and one of only six in the United States. It is also equipped with authentic British “beer engines” that pump the ale from the cask to your glass; the Beerocracy has more taps on engines than any other in the U.S. Making real ale begins the same way as other beer-making: you put your ingredients in a vat and it goes through its five-day primary fermentation. Then the paths divide: real ale is then moved to a cask, where priming sugar is added before the cask is moved to a cellar, where it goes through a secondary fermentation. It is at this stage that the natural carbonation is induced.

“It takes 10 to 14 days to develop the carbonation,” Gillett said. “It is a two-and-half to three-week process, start to finish.” This is versus 10 days for “regular” beer or ale.

Demand fluctuates through the year at the Beerocracy, which requires Gillett and his staff to be careful planners. “From the minute of tapping,” he said, “you have about 10 days to sell it before the carbon dioxide starts to go out of it and oxidation sets in.” But the Seneca Lake brewer has a contingency plan for this event. He calls up his club members and informs them that growlers are available at a bargain rate. Problem solved.

Real ale is a different drinking experience for many reasons. Because of the warmer temperature, the drinker’s palate experiences a wider range of flavors in the ale. Also, the natural carbonation produces a smooth mouth

feel. Generally speaking, these are also lower alcohol beverages. Gillett emphasizes that his ales are for social occasions, where people get together and talk and drink for hours.

Seneca Lake Brewing’s standard bitters — the quintessential British pub drink — is only 3.8% ABV. Their “Best” bitters is 5% and the ESB is 6%. While these are the core, something to be found in every UK local, the Beerocracy also serves a golden session ale, a New England IPA, and a hefeweizen, all of which are popular during the warmer months, and their stout sells well through the cold of winter.

Gillett was excited about a brand-new offering. “A customer came in one day and said ‘I just had this red ale called Kilkenny that was really good. Can you make one?’”

In short order Gillett and his brew masters came up with “Kilkenny with Kindness,” an Irish-style red ale that sold so quickly that they are now making more of it.

“It’s just drinkable,” he said with an almost audible shrug at something ordinary yet existential. “It’s halfway between light and heavy.”

Seneca Lake Brewing operates on a farm license, which is analogous to the state law that made the Finger Lakes wine industry blossom in the 1970s. The beer law went into effect on January 1, 2012. Until the end of 2018, farm breweries were required to source 20% of their ingredients from New York State growers. It then rose to 60% and will remain there until the end of 2023, when it will rise to 90%.

In exchange for this restriction, Gillett said that the farm license came with “a lower price of entry” and a market permit to pour his ale anywhere in the state. Farm breweries are also allowed to have five additional branch locations at no further cost. “This [law],” he said, “has been instrumental to the growth of the industry.”

When he began in 2014, he was worried about finding enough local ingredients, but the growers of malted barley, hops, and other ingredients have grown exponentially since then.

New York hop growers raise the classic British hops, like East Kent Golding and Fuggle, that Seneca Lake Brewing depends on to make cask ale.

Another ingredient vital to producing the real ale taste is brewers’ yeast. Gillett and his staff have not developed their own cultures but purchase the classic high-flocculation strains that sink readily to the bottom of the cask at the end of fermentation and produce a clear ale.

In addition to his regular pours that are consistently available — five or six through the winter and nine or 10 in the summer — Seneca Lake Brewing produces “single release” casks of Christmas, Harvest and “old ale,” a dark, malty beverage that is higher in alcohol.

Gillett was especially excited about a recent Oyster Stout that he made in collaboration with Lucky Hare Brewing in Hector. They began the primary fermentation together, adding 100 Blue Point oysters, but then Gillett took his share for cask conditioning, and Lucky Hare continued along the conventional brewing route. “On the keg it was really stout forward,” he said, “but in the cask it was really briny with much more complex taste.”

winemakers are finishing Bourbon in wooden sherry casks and stouts are aged in wooden whiskey barrels, Gillett is having none of it.

His casks are made of stainless steel and constructed to be tapped while the ale is fresh. It takes him twice as long to make, and he mostly makes it one firkin (86 pints) at a time, but he wouldn’t dream of doing it any other way.

“It would be great to make it in kilderkins

[160 pints],” he said. “Maybe in the future.”

The owner of Seneca Lake Brewing is building and “verticalizing” his business to hand it on to his son. The 18-year-old Eden Gillett, however, recently dropped a bombshell on his dad: he wants to work at Barnes & Noble … because he loves books. His father, who has been down the corporate route, is philosophical in that if-you-love-him-let-himgo way. “It’s good really,” he said. “He’ll learn what it’s like to work for something that’s not a family business.”

hen it comes to exploring the Finger Lakes, there are a lot of ways to do it. You could rent a boat or a kayak and take in the shoreline from the water, or you could grab your bike to explore the towns from the streets.

But if you’re looking for something a little more passive than a bike but a bit dryer than a boat, you could always try horseback riding. There are many stables throughout the area offering riding lessons, but D&K Ranch in Interlaken and Painted Bar Stables in Burdett both offer trail rides through the Finger Lakes National Forest, offering a different way to see the area.

D&K R A NCH

Kelly Paonessa is the owner and operator of D&K Ranch and said they offer all kinds of programs for folks looking to ride horses. They do community work with the Ithaca Youth Bureau, Seneca Central School District and the Girl Scouts, plus have different riding experiences for people of all levels.

There are cabins on the ranch’s property that have a real cowboy feel, Paonessa said.

“People can come stay in a cabin like it’s a dude ranch,” she said.

It’s a whole experience in addition to the horseback riding, with bonfires, s’mores and cookouts.

“It’s a fun outdoors experience that guests can enjoy,” Paonessa said. “Plus, we’re near wineries if they want to venture out.”

The cabins are about five minutes from the

parking lot, so a pony cart will bring your luggage back at check in, while you choose a riding schedule. An experienced wrangler will be on hand to work with individuals to figure out the best activities based on skill level.

One of the rides is called the Shaved Tail Ride, which is an hour-long trail ride perfect for those with little or no horseback riding experience. Starting at the ranch, you’ll take a stroll down a seasonal road into the wooded trails, with a possible cool-off through a shallow pond.

More experienced riders can venture into the Finger Lakes National Forest, the area “between the lakes” (Cayuga and Seneca).

Paonessa said that it can either be just a scenic ride, or they can work in some history of the area for those who’d like to learn a bit more.

People who own their own horses are also welcome to visit and bring them along to the ranch, where they’ll be able to explore the trails in the forest.

Paonessa noted that D&K Ranch can offer an experience to anyone who’s interested, and that their wranglers and horses are both trained to work with people who might be a little excited or nervous to be riding a horse.

“Every ride we do we start out in the riding ring,” Paonessa said. “We teach [riders] how to breathe, how to be comfortable. And then we start the trail. Most people are comfortable on the trail without us right next to them, but we can walk with them if that makes them most comfortable.”

There are weight limits for horseback riding and reservations must be made in advance.

Prices vary for different rides. For more information, visit www.dkranch.com.

trail roads, which are offered at every level.

Any child over the age of 10 is allowed on a trail ride at Painted Bar, and private riding lessons are available for kids who are 8 or 9.

“We found a lot of parents were getting a lot of kids in over their heads in public, so we started trail experience lessons that’s in a private setting for kids,” Eckstrom said. “We start them in the arena and then hit the trails.

And the idea of that is just to make sure the kids feel like they’re going to be a success the entire time.”

Eckstrom said some kids get on a horse and are great, while others are terrified.

“It gives them a little wiggle room without people watching,” she said.

Anyone can book trail rides as private rides, even the adults, but Eckstrom said even the public rides are usually fewer than eight people.

“We don’t want giant huge rides, because each person adds a little more chaos,” she said.

There are a few different trail rides available, depending on comfort level and experience. The one-hour Scenic Ride is a slow speed ride with a few obstacles, but nothing challenging for the horses. It’s mainly walking through the woods and down by the creek.

“That’s great for all ages and abilities,” Eckstrom said. “It’s very user friendly. People who have never ridden do great. It’s peaceful and pretty.”

She said that it’s about 70-80% shaded in the woods, so people don’t have to worry about spending too much time in the summer sun.

The next ride is the Spirited Ride, which has a few more obstacles like riverbanks and creek crossings and hills. There is also the opportunity to go faster if you’re comfortable and skilled enough to do so. Eckstrom said they have had first-timers on that ride, but doesn’t

suggest it if you’re nervous.

“It’s better to leave hungry for more than wishing you had done less,” she said.

Next there’s the Adventure Route, which is an hour-and-a-half ride that goes a bit further than the Spirited Ride. It also provides even more opportunity to ride faster, and it goes into the Finger Lakes National Forest. For people who aren’t experienced riders, Eckstrom said this ride is usually their limit. Horseback riding can cause soreness due to using new muscles and sitting in an unnatural position.

And on that note, the next ride is the Saddle Sore Route. It’s a two-hour ride through the National Forest with hillside views and lake views depending on the speed of the ride.

Eckstrom said that this route is about half in the sun, so it’s more comfortable if you can ride faster and pick up a bit of a breeze.

Painted Bar also offers an overnight experience, though it’s a little more rustic even than the cabins at D&K Ranch. There’s a camping site with a composting toilet in a back field where riders can sleep after completing a twohour Saddle Sore ride that evening. Then in the morning there is a one-hour ride to complete the stay.

If you’re experienced, there are also plenty of trail rides for more advanced riders, such as the Hilltop Boogie, the half-day ride and an all-day ride.

The stables also have a partnership with Fulkerson Winery, so riders can ride thorugh the vineyards for an hour and do a tasting and get a free bottle of wine. Availability for that is much more limited though, and is weather reliant.

Again, rides must be pre-booked and there are weight limits for riding and prices vary based on ride. Visit www.paintedbarstables. com for more info.

O

nly about a couple of weeks remain until Grisamore Farms opens its orchards to the public for the u-pick season with a variety of crops to choose from.

The season is expected to kick off around June 20 when the strawberries are in bloom.

Grisamore raises about 20 acres of strawberries of the jewel variety (dark red and very sweet).

The fruit is no stranger to the farm’s soil as Grisamore has been raising strawberries in Locke since its inception in 1939.

Grisamore Farms is one of few places that grow strawberries presently. (Indian Creek Farms in Trumansburg and Finger Lakes Cider House in Interlaken also raise the fruit.) Strawberries will be available to pick at Grisamore for approximately three weeks from the start date.

Another crop that is returning this year to the lineup is cherries. Grisamore raises roughly 10 acres of bing cherries, which have a dark hue and a sweet taste. The farms did not offer cherries last season due to poor weather conditions last spring.

“We don’t always have a crop,” co-owner Joanna Cornell said. “They’re really sensitive to cold weather and too much moisture and things like that.”

“Once they’re ripe, if it starts raining a lot they like to split and mold,” co-owner Mary Ann Grisamore said.

Grisamore said they were able to successfully grow a crop of them this year because the fruit fortunately blossomed during a stretch of nice weather. She said they should be available to pick around the Fourth of July.

Around that time, the farm’s 10-acre crop of raspberries will be ready to be picked. Later

in the middle of the month, their 20 acres of blueberries will also be in season. Due to the fact that they are not as perishable compared to other fruit and that they do not all ripen at the same time, the picking season for blueberries will last longer — until the end of August — than crops like cherries and raspberries, which ends near the end of July.

Around the end of August, folks will have the opportunity to pick some apples prior to the season being in full effect. Grisamore said she expects there will be some sansas (red with yellow stripes and very sweet), ginger golds (large yellow-green apples with a slightly tart taste), and possibly some early galas (red and mildly sweet). Both Grisamore and Cornell said the galas and sansas are good apples for eating, while the ginger golds are great for baking.

Prices for the crops have yet to be determined, though Grisamore said they will be higher from last year due to the rising diesel fuel and fertilizer prices. In years past, for example, blueberries cost about $3.99 per pound and strawberries cost a little over $4 per pound.

Visitors can bring their own containers to pick or use buckets provided by the farms.

Children are allowed to participate in crop picking so long as they are under the supervision of an adult. Pets are not allowed in the fields.

Individuals can also stop through the farm store, view the array of animals residing on the farms (sheep, free-ranging goats, a hinny and a mule, among others), or check out the farm’s hard cider works during their experience at Grisamore.

“There’s nothing like fresh fruit, picked right that day, by yourself,” Grisamore said.

“It’s hilarious; it also is sexy and silly and just fun. There’s this element of silliness that hasn’t been on our stage yet — not silliness — a level of humor that allows you to gasp at times. We need that right now as a community. We need to laugh.”

erations into this space… there was a really wonderful age diversity [in the artists who] were creating the work in the room. Veterans were supporting younger, first-time designers and vice versa.…Theatre is one of the places that can happen, nicely and supportively, and not feel like there is a hierarchy in line.

“I also love that this audience is on for the ride with us. There is a support here that I wasn’t expecting.” Bradshaw said she hears stories of people’s favorite shows from even 15 years ago.

“That’s such a gift to come into a theatre as an artistic director when people already like the theatre that you’re going to run.…Cause that’s not true in other places.

“The audiences feel really warm here, they’re really smart. By smart I mean they lean in and listen …There’s a wonderful critical eye in this community. I’ve had some really wonderful conversations with audience members after the show about a specific moment that made them feel something.”

Bradshaw recalls a Cornell student at a talkback of Fade (a play with two Latinx characters), who was visibly shaken, sharing “I’ve never been seen on stage like I did today in this character and that moment.”

“That is why I do this work, for people to have an emotional experience.. and to be seen, or to meet somebody they would never meet in their day to day life,” Bradshaw said.

As a director, Bradshaw views herself “as a guide. .. If I’ve done my job right, I’ve filled the room with everyone’s individual genius and my job is to tap into everybody’s curiosities and everybody’s thoughts and passions about the play and guide them through a singular journey.

“I also think as a director you have to inspire the people around you.”

So she’ll share research, or images or poems to bring “additional meaning to why we do the things that we do, why we are playing makebelieve and why we are putting on clothes that aren’t ours and standing in front of people and making them listen to us.”

“I also think that there’s a level of activism behind the theater.…Even though our stage is lower than the audience, it is still a pedestal,” Bradshaw said. “It is a pedestal for an entire group of people to be looking at and giving time and focus to. So that in itself I feel is a very activist act. And then as a director, as I’m carving the scenes and I’m creating the focus, I can highlight moments of injustice, I can highlight moments of passion, I can highlight moments of questioning the world around us that are built into that play.”

Last words about Hurricane Diane?

“It’s the kind of play that shakes the audience, but while you’re being shook you’re laughing at the ridiculousness of people behaving badly, which is my cup of tea.

I think we can laugh at ourselves through it. It’s just so juicy.”

etween the solo show and the exhibition with numerous artists, the two-person outing has a certain place in the economy of galleries and museums. Ideally, the artists both complement and contrast with one another.

Local duo shows that do this effectively are rare. While the community’s academic venues traffic in affected and pretentious curatorial conceits, Ithaca’s independent galleries arrange two-person exhibitions on the basis of programming convenience or the social affiliation of the artists.

“Manifestations,” currently (and through July 1) at The Gallery at South

Hill, is sadly no exception. The show features pastel painter Diane Newton and photographer Sheryl Sinkow, both familiar local figures.

Newton has long been one of Ithaca’s most distinctive and realized visual artists. A tough, unsentimental realist in the tradition of cityscape painters like Edward Hopper and Rackstraw Downes, she deploys what might seem a hobbyist’s medium with an uncommon acuity and depth of vision. Working over black toned paper and using her own photographs as reference, she builds up densely wrought scenes of urban and roadside landscapes that dignify what might very well be viewed as ugly and insignificant settings.

Her work in “Manifestations,” filling up one side of the gallery, is thoughtfully arranged. Larger pieces in her signature realist mode are interspersed with smaller, more experimental pieces recalling her modernist roots, as well as photographs offering hints of her working process.

Dated 1984, “Chicago Friends” is the first of four large anchoring pieces here.

Poised between abstractionist origins and the patient exploration of the commonplace that is her main achievement today, the interior scene is also fully compelling in its own right. A woman in a long coat and bright scarf and a dandyish-looking man — or masculine looking figure — lounge in a space composed of broad planes of color.

“Ludlow Stop” and “Behind Mark’s” (one wishes for dates, but both pieces were new to me) are both quintessential New-

tons. The former piece captures a gorgeous sunrise or sunset illuminating the sky above the nearly empty parking lot of a banal highway rest stop. Like Hopper — and unlike the by now stale ironizing of the Pop artists — she incorporates commercial logos as part of an honest but generous reflection on contemporary life.

“Mark’s,” the only upright piece of the four, draws from the artist’s hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. It shows an insignificant street, in deep perspective as if from the driver’s seat. It’s a bleak setting, everything white and gray — hazy shades of snowless winter. Yet the artist brings it to life with her attention to subtle shifts of tone and color and her subtle yet vivacious markmaking.

Portraying the lush greenery of the Czech embassy in Washington, DC, “Embassy Grounds” stands as a foil to Newton’s more characteristic work.

Other recent pieces here explore abstract drawing and photography. Of particular note are several quick looking pieces done earlier this year as part of a Zoom class offered by Boston artist Robert Siegelman, with whom the artist has previously worked in person.

Sinkow, known for her commercial and travel photography, is a difficult artist to pin down in a gallery setting. Her vocation isn’t one that encourages the sort of focused personal vision that critics like myself wish to see.

For her latest project, begun only this past January, Sinkow has revisited her bank of digital images, recycling and juxtaposing them as photomontage. This Contin u ed on Page 15

he Zappa Band will perform on June 12 at the Center for the Arts in Homer. The band is composed largely of Frank Zappa alumni, featuring Ray White on vocals and guitars, Mike Keneally on guitar, keyboards and vocals, Scott Thunes on bass, Robert Martin on saxophone, keyboards and vocals, and ZPZ alums Jamie Kine on guitar and Zappa archivist Joe “Vaultmeister” Travers.

They had previously opened a string of shows for King Crimson and are headlining their own summer tour through the Northwest. For tickets, visit https://www. eventbrite.com/e/the-zappa-band-tickets-310150968897.

Mike Keneally spoke to the Ithaca Times about Zappa, “The Black Page,” and the effort of playing nearly impossible music.

Ithaca Times: What was Frank like?

Mike Keneally: Well, he was the coolest, most enjoyable guy in the world to hang with. His primary interest in the time that we would hang out most often was when we were working, so when we were on stage, [or] either at rehearsal working on learning the stuff or actually doing the gig. He was real straightforward about the employer/employee relationship. He was paying us to play his songs properly. And if we played the songs properly, we got along like a house on fire. The only times things could get a little sticky is if for some reason the band wasn’t delivering. It was my first professional gig, and I loved him and his music, so it was real important for me to deliver.

So we had a great relationship, because I was very devoted to playing the songs correctly, or at least as best as I could as a 25-year-old puppy who had barely seen the world at that point. But he knew that I loved his music, and he was appreciative of the fact that as I was growing up, I had taught myself to play a lot of it, so I was devoted to bringing it off as well as I could.

IT: I know there are songs I could pitch in on, like “Bobby Brown” (1979’s “Sheik Yerbuti”), but I’m sure there’s a

lot that would leave me scratching my head.

MK: It’s a specialized sort of human who enjoys that stuff in the first place, and then in the second place wants to devote a significant portion of their life to be able to play it. I had organ lessons when I was a kid, but I was self-taught as a guitar player. And because I loved Frank’s music so much, my idea of fun was to spend my spare time teaching myself, as best I could, how to play that stuff. Now, granted, it wasn’t until I actually joined the band and started playing with guys who were well-drilled in all of the theoretical nature of the compositions and the mathematics of it all, ‘cause I was teaching myself off of records. I didn’t have charts.

IT: Yeah, it’s one thing to sit down with a record on 16 rpm and it’s another when Frank just hands you the charts.

MK: [laughs] Yeah, exactly. So in the case of “The Black Page” [A Zappa piece known for being extraordinarily difficult to play], I was teaching myself what these melodies sounded like to me. But not only was I at the mercy of my ear, I was also at the mercy of the performance that was on that record. I remember having that conversation with Frank once and telling him how mind-blowing it always was to hear these musicians playing this stuff, I think

California streaming BVC checks out “George Carlin’s American Dream” and “Peacemaker”

By Br yan VanC ampe n

G

eorge Denis Patrick Carlin died on June 22, 2008. He pretty much missed out on Obama and Trump and Biden and COVID and Putin, but it’s a rare day that I don’t wonder what George would have thought about some crisis in the news; not even his jokes so much, even though they were masterfully written and always incisive, but just as often I’m reminded of George’s overall philosophy, and the way he thought about all kinds of things.

I can’t remember when I first heard of George Carlin. That’s not important, really.

What’s important is that I heard about George Carlin. My gateway George Carlin album was “On The Road” (1977), he was SNL’s first guest host, and then came all those HBO specials and the “Bill and Ted” movies and “Dogma” (1999) and “Jersey Girl” (2004) and more great stand-up than the world deserved.

I consider myself a George Carlin superfan, and truth be told, I knew most of what “George Carlin’s American Dream Parts 1 & 2” documents, but it’s important to have it all laid out in four hours of documentary footage and interviews. If you’re a Carlin fan, you probably know a lot, too. George wasn’t just a comedian, he was family. That said, Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio’s HBO documentary is divided into two parts: part one chronicles Carlin’s career through 1981, his “straight” career and the counterculture shift up through 1980, and part two tells of his struggle to stay relevant and the further shifts in his career as his voice got louder, angrier and even more honest about the state of the human condition.

For me, part one was a real treasure trove of TV clips and interviews from Carlin’s early days, when he was pursuing his mainstream dream of being “Danny Kaye.” Apatow and Bonfiglio have unearthed countless TV talk show appearances with Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas and Johnny Carson. You’ll see George riffing with Richard Pryor.

Newbs and Carlin superfans like me have a lot to appreciate over the course of four hours.

Thanks again, George. I really miss you.

George Carlin ● ● ●

It’s not quite the half-way point of the year, but I can tell you that my three favorite 2022 things are the Michelle Yeoh multiverse epic “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (Who knew that Michelle Yeoh’s multiverse would handily take the limelight from Doctor Strange’s multiverse?

Yeoh’s film doesn’t have a Bruce Campbell cameo, but that’s about all it doesn’t have.), Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” and John Cena’s eagle sidekick Eagley in the HBO Max limited series “Peacemaker.”

(More on Eagley. Promise.)

“Peacemaker” is an eight-episode HBO Max spin-off series written and largely directed by James Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), focusing on Jon Cena’s titular self-loathing lunkhead vigilante, one of the few rogue characters to survive Gunn’s “Suicide Squad” (2021). Scored with trash metal needle drops from the likes of Motley Crüe and Enuff Z’nuff, the show is a new mission story with Cena being recruited by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) to join a bunch of new operatives on something called “Code Butterfly.” No spoilers, but this is one show that kept surprising me. Most shows would be content to get to the halfway point and say, “Good enough.”

“Peacemaker” is not most shows.

You know right away that you’re back in bonkers Gunn territory; “Peacemaker” Contin u ed on Page 15

is a commonplace of local art, particularly among commercial photographers looking for a more “artistic” expression in their gallery-oriented work. More idiosyncratically, Sinkow is collaborating with her astrologer Linda Ruth for her interpretations — attempting to give weight to these sometimesunresolved images. Each picture here (see the information sheet available in the gallery) is accompanied by titles and captions suggesting a “Sabian” Zodiacal reading.

I can’t say that I understand any of this.

As an impetus to artistic creativity, the potential is surely there — let a hundred flowers bloom and all that.

tribespeople and the Dalai Lama, as well as allusions to the artist’s own Jewish heritage.

Other images explore urban life as well as seemingly untrammeled nature.

“Venus: 3º Sagittarius,” Sinkow’s only wholly new image here, captures her “metaphysical” themes with uncommon compulsion. Against a deep red cloth rest two pipes bearing bearded visages. Wisps of smoke have been digitally overlain. By the artist’s reading, “Two men, lounging in the comfort of an old drawing room, and with strong pipes, are playing a game of chess.”

According to the Sinkow, this is only the beginning of what might become a lifelong project. It might have been wiser to show other work instead of or in addition to what is on display here.

It is more natural and constructive to think of “Manifestations” as two separate, unrelated shows that happen to be sharing a room. Both are worth seeing but the edge goes to Newton’s masterful ventures in reseeing the ordinary. is crumbling with the results of the school board vote.

I used the term “perfectly,” and he just laughed. [laughs] And he said, “Man, if you knew the science fiction-type of machinations that were required to get that stuff to sound anywhere near perfect!” And of course, later on, as I came to know the songs and came to play them more and more, I’m able to hear those records now that always sounded, like, otherworldly and absolutely immaculate and spotless, and I hear all sorts of humanity on there now [laughs] because this stuff is really hard, you know? There’s going to be times where you nail a melody exactly perfectly, and then there’s gonna be other times where you do not. But part of the excitement of Frank’s music is the sound of a bunch of humans in all their lovely humanness, which is imperfect by nature, doing their best to deliver as close as possible to perfect renditions of music which is sometimes nearly impossible to play. There’s an excitement in that, and I think that Frank was aware of that, and it was important that the people who came to his shows had their minds blown by the effort.

feels like DC saying, “We can get down and dirty like Deadpool.” But that doesn’t really account for how cool and groundbreaking the show really is. It’s proof that there are other ways of making superhero shows that feature nudity, dope smoking and endless cussing. Here’s a “Peacemaker” drinking game: take a shot every time someone utters an f-bomb. The narrative is constantly being interrupted with spats, digressions and arguments. No one in this universe, it seems, can agree on anything.

And yeah, Cena has a real eagle for a sidekick, named Eagley. Gunn loves animals; this is the guy who made you believe that a racoon can cry. I’m sure Eagley is an unholy blend of all matter of special effects, but he becomes the show’s most endearing character. There’s a “Wallace & Gromit” vibe here; Eagley is probably the smarter of the two.

“Peacemaker” is streaming on HBO Max. RIP Bo Hopkins (“The Wild Bunch,” “The Getaway,” “American Graffiti,” “White Lightning,” “Midnight Express,” “The Ballad of Little Jo,” “Radioland Murders,” “U-Turn,” “Phantoms,” “The Newton Boys”)
