Green Street Garage

Tompkins County sees growth getting voters to polls

Vecino Group’s Green Street proposal surges ahead

N

ow that the Democratic nominees for New York State’s Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General offices are set, along with a slew of local elections, politicians are gearing up for the November general election.

Despite some progressive liberal candidates not being able to overcome their opponents, they did manage to get people to notice some of the other issues plaguing New York State that aren’t related to New York City. Kathy Zahler, Communications Manager for Tompkins County Democrats, talked about some of the reasons behind the moderate success of progressive Democrats statewide, despite plenty of momentum locally.

“Just the fact that six out of eight IDC [Independent Democratic Conference] members got primaried out of their seats indicates to me that there was a progressive wave of sorts,” Zahler said. “At the top of the ticket, though, things tend to stay more moderate and always have. We like to complain a lot for four years and then rehire the same people. Of course, Tompkins was, as always, an island in the middle of the state, favoring Nixon over Cuomo, Williams over Hochul, and Teachout over all the other AG candidates—by a lot.”

Zahler also said that some of the issues that really helped local progressives in the election were economic opportunity, healthcare, support for labor, public education, civil rights, and the environment, which are typically Democratic issues. While many people have been looking to this election as means of signifying a change within the spirit of the

T

he future of the Green Street Garage was murky, then clear, then murkier and now it’s somewhere in between. But the city appears to have signaled that one project developer in particular has taken an early lead in the sweepstakes for the rights to redevelop the lucrative downtown site.

To kick off the process of picking between the four submitted proposals, the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency’s Economic Development Committee met to rank the four projects in order of their preference. Vecino Group’s entry of Asteri Ithaca scored the best, easily outpacing the others during the committee’s numerical scoring process.

Committee members were asked to score projects based on four criteria: community benefits, project concepts, financial capacity and project feasibility and the financial terms proposed.

Each developer had already been approved as qualified and sufficiently experienced. Following behind Vecino Group’s proposal was Newman/Visum Development’s in second, then the Harold’s Holdings submission, and last but not least was Ithaca-Peak.

Vecino scored big on community benefit and project concept, winning points from the committee for its all affordable or workforce-level rent proposal, 209 units total of below-market rental units.

Members also seemed supportive of its relatively small size compared to the others, while still providing adequate housing. (Each of the projects were discussed at length in previous reporting). Additionally, it will be applying for a four percent subsidy from the state, a different program than the more commonly utilized nine percent program, which IURA Director Nels Bohn characterized as far more competitive.

Vecino has already received the four percent funding award once before, on a project in Saratoga Springs, which they used to bolster their claim that they could nab it again. The proposal includes a 33,000 square foot conference center, and dedicated space for nonprofit usage.

In terms of significant project changes, there haven’t been a ton across the board for any of the four submitted projects, with one sizable exception: the initial project that had kicked off this whole round of bids, from Ithaca-Peak (led by local developer Jeffrey Rimland, who owns the Rothschild Building and part of the Green Street Garage already), had originally come forward with 38 units of their 404 total being affordable, but that number has now increased to 60 units out of 404, at 75 percent area median income. That, though, did also come with an increase tax abatement request. It also increased the conference center from around 20,000

to 30,000 square feet. These changes were commended by the board.

Vecino has gone about a fairly substantial marketing campaign, at least compared to the other contenders, evidenced by an op-ed printed in the Ithaca Times assessing “The Future of Affordable Housing.” This seemed to have resonated with the EDC committee members, who consistently praised Vecino’s values and mentioned more than once how well they felt Vecino’s vision aligned with the city’s intentions for the site, not to mention its overall needs. This was enough, it seemed to overcome some sentiment among the board that the project should go to a local developer; of all the groups that submitted proposals, Vecino is the only one without either local ties already or a established project in Ithaca to use as an example of bona fides.

As for the city’s expectations for a project, there appears to still be some hesitation about the value or necessity of a conference center. Though a study was completed last year that showed the area had the market to support one, members of the EDC still seemed skeptical about moving forward with a conference center proposal without having completed a second or third phase of feasibility studies. Those studies are in the pipeline, however, as the city’s Deputy Director of Economic Development Tom Knipe said the second phase should begin in November and end by February.

Cornell’s campus expansion energy plan draws ire

ith criticism continuing to rise due to Cornell’s plans to use natural gas in their North Campus Residential Expansion project, the architects of the proposed project came before the Planning and Economic Development Committee to provide some clarity on the vocal concerns of the energy and environmentalist community.

Two officials from Trowbridge Wolf Michaels Landscape Architects, Kathryn Wolf

and Kimberly Michaels, both appeared to offer context, and perhaps a defense, of the plan by showing an energy presentation. Their presentation was met with critiques from the public, as the topic dominated the comment period, with complaints coming even from Cornell’s own professors.

After going through the overall plan, as has been reported on extensively before (2,000 bed expansion on North Campus that will house undergraduates and allow Cornell to meet housing demand and bring in 900 more students total), the two jumped into the energy presentation. Wolf claimed that the currently planned system is the most efficient way to effectively power the building, even though it does utilize the burning of natural gas. She said, though, that Cornell is sure there will be advances in the future and that they would be willing to adapt and install those when they are available.

Additionally, in the Taitem report, it’s stated that the expansion does actually meet or exceed the thresholds of the school’s energy consump-

tion reduction plans (Climate Action Plan), and exceeds state standards. Public critics, of course, pointed out that although the building meets that criteria, the addition of a building that uses natural gas at all is going to hurt energy progress (many don’t think much of New York State’s energy standards anyway). The project was called a violation of the Climate Action Plan.

Wolf also addressed the popular suggestion that heat pumps should be used as an alternative to natural gas.

The problem with this, Wolf claimed, is that the load of electricity that would be needed to power the heat pumps would overburden the current grid load. When electricity is overburdened, gas is burned to run the heat pumps, which Wolf used to justify Cornell’s methodology.

Wolf showed a graph, taken from a report conducted by Taitem Engineering, that stated greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide only) under the current plan would be lower than air source or ground source heat pumps. A less colorful version of that graph can be seen below.

Murtagh, though, questioned the presentation of the numbers, saying in order to get a fuller picture of the energy situation at North Campus, the levels of greenhouse gas emissions for alternative

energy plans was necessary for comparison. Fellow committee members Graham Kerslick and Cynthia Brock similarly asked for more evidence and proof of a few claims.

“The goal of the state is they want to go to 50 percent renewables by 2030,” Murtagh interjected. “So presumably the grid is going to get greener, but the Cornell plan is always going to run off natural gas.”

“Cornell agrees that there will be a better, more greener way,” Wolf said. “That is not going to happen overnight [...] Again, the systems are in place. If it happens sooner, that’s great. Today, they use less emissions by using the combined heat and power plant.”

Murtagh, though, asked for numbers that would show the greenhouse gas emissions if the grid were to be used instead.

Michaels said Cornell intends to take energy offsetting actions that would eliminate any potential net increase in natural gas production from the power plant. It was not specifically stated what those actions would be.

“We’re not climate change deniers, this project is really trying to do the right thing,” Michaels said. “We’re going to try to do a better job of communicating that, because we really are all on the same page.”

From his comfortable home on South Hill, 86-year-old Hans Gebauer reflects on a life that took him from the chaos of post-WWII displacement to a rich and fulfilling life in Ithaca.

Born in Spachendorf, Czechoslovakia, at war’s end, 14-year-old Hans, his parents, sister, and grandmother, along with three million other German-speaking Czechs, were displaced by the Czech government, loaded onto cattle

cars, and shipped to Germany.

They left the home where both his father, in 1901, and Hans, in 1932, had been born, with its solid, two-foot-thick, brick and plaster walls. Though German was the language of his youth, Germany was a country he barely knew. Nearly a quarter of the German-speaking Czech refugees perished along the way. His family was lucky to have landed in Augsburg, where they were taken in by a farmer, a sympathetic woman who helped them get back on their feet.

As was the practice then for young men not bound for university, he began a threeand-a-half-year apprenticeship, learning to repair twentieth

A Chat with Ithaca’s New Parking Czar

W

ith a variety of changes coming to the main parking garages of Downtown Ithaca, we sat down with the new parking director, Peter Messmer, to seek his input on the one thing Ithacans all have a problem with. Messmer took over the role after former parking director Frank Nagy’s left the position. Since a taking over the position, Messmer has taken over a two decaying parking garages and a several other projects to make parking in Ithaca easier for all.

Ithaca Times: Tell me about some of the things you’ve done in your time as parking director?

Peter Messmer: Well I’ve been here since May and one of the first big initiatives that was planned, before I got here but wasn’t done yet, was the installation of new parking equipment. Right now, we are in the process of installing new entrance and exit gates, ticket dispensers, pay units and the new pay on foot stations that are in the garages. We’re in the process of doing that for all three garages, Dryden, Seneca, and Green.

IT: How much life do you think the Seneca Street and Green Street garages have left?

PM: They’re both in the latter part of their life cycle.

The Green Street garage is already up for replacement, so that’s been the subject of four proposals that have been presented by various developers to redevelop that space. The proposals have been received and evaluated but the city is still in the process of evaluating them to determine which developer they are going to go with. The Seneca Street garage is also at the end of its life cycle, it could be replaced, it could continue to be maintained for a little while longer, but the long-term plan is being discussed and talked about.

IT: Tell me about the study commissioned about the Seneca and Green Street garages?

PM: Another thing I took on when, I started is that we’re going to be doing a comprehensive study for the city. That study’s intention is to look at the overall parking situation in the city, downtown, Collegetown and beyond and consider the increased needs of the parking structure since we have a lot of downtown development going on.

There’s a lot of additional apartments going in what with the Herald Square project and the Center City project so of course, there’s going to be increased demand from that to supply parking for the downtown workforce and people coming downtown to shop and go to the Commons. The comprehensive parking study is going to look at everything.

It’s going to look at two tracks: what the parking needs are of the people of the city and what the cost of the parking infrastructure will be, the cost of only maintaining and operating the garages, operating the on-street parking program. After looking at those we will try to develop a list of goals and strategies for a future plan to utilize the parking infrastructure to meet these growing demands on it.

IT: Aside from the main garages are there any other plans you had for the future?

PM: Well infrastructurewise, no. We’re looking at how to develop that comprehensive pan with respect to the existing garages and on street parking inventory. There is, actually a strategy to develop “park and ride” as a part of the bigger picture. Maybe that will be an additional area we’ll look hard at for the parking capacity.

IT: How do you plan on getting the community’s input?

PM: I think the Parking Division and the DPW [Department of Public Works] and the mission to provide parking downtown is an area of a lot of interest to a lot of folks so we’re going to do our best to engage the community with a stakeholder meeting and we’ll be forming that up soon.

IT: What do you consider some of the biggest issues with parking in Ithaca?

PM: I think that one of the biggest issues is the increased development downtown. It’s put an increased demand on the limited parking resources especially all the various apartment units going in, so that’s a big challenge, I’d say one of the biggest. Of course, the redevelopment of the Green Street garage is going to be a big proj-

ect and ultimately determining what the plan is for the Seneca street garage.

▶▶ THUMBS UP: The Ithaca Police Department, in their quest to reach 10,000 likes on Facebook, ran a contest on Tuesday to see if they could reach the 10K threshold. The prize was a get-out-of-jail free card (seriously), and was won by Kris Von Hagn, as identified by IPD later. The Ithaca Times reserves the right to change the grade on this to a ‘Thumbs down,’ depending on the severity of the crime this hooligan is now allowed to commit.

IT: Do you have a timeline of how this would be happening or is this all up for speculation at this moment?

PM: Well the Green Street Garage project would be going into the planning and engineering phase soon. It would probably take all of 2019 for that planning and scheduling to happen. As far as the Seneca Street timeline this just beginning to be discussed what direction we want to go with the development of it.

The [Comprehensive Parking Study], we would like to gather our stakeholder group input over the next year, tactical information, the cost of the parking program the revenue and the stakeholder would like to develop that over the next year.

▶▶ THUMBS DOWN: There have been at least two reported fires in or near the “Jungle” in the past week, where many of the city’s homeless people stay when they can not find suitable housing.

Both destroyed what appears to be some form of housing for people out there—and for the ones who desperately need it the most. Not much is known now, although police and fire officials are investigating.

Those who can are being encouraged to donate clothes and supplies to Second Wind Cottages, ATTN: Jungle Fire.

IT: Many community residents have said they don’t come downtown because there is no parking; does Downtown have a parking problem?

PM: As a lifelong resident of the area I was aware of the public opinion that parking downtown was a problem, when I came on board as the Director of Parking. Some things I’ve noticed however that may help are that the garages are fullest between about 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM. During this time period the Seneca Street Garage can be 75 to 90 percent full and Green Street Garage will sometimes be completely full. However, in the mornings, early afternoon, and evening hours there is always parking available in these garages and I think the public may not be aware of this. Also, another very helpful fact about the pay stations for on-street parking is that people can pay at one of the pay stations and park in any paid parking zone where the pay stations are used. This is very convenient because as long as you still have time that you’ve paid for you can move your car to another parking spot in one of the pay station zones to access another destination.

▶▶ Volunteers are being sought: to keep the Friendship Center at the Homeless Shelter operational over the next several weeks, until the Tompkins County contract is officially terminated with the Rescue Mission. Volunteers are needed on Tuesday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Wednesday from 12 p.m.-4 p.m., and Thursday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

he Situation Room in the basement of the west wing of the White House was the nerve center of the federal government last Sunday, and a sense of emergency was thick in the air. Seated at the head of the main room’s giant conference table were President Donald Trump, FEMA Administrator Brock Long and Chief of Staff John Kelly, but the chamber was also crowded with more than a dozen other people, about half of whom were in military uniform. Everyone was on at least one cell phone. Some were also hunched over secure laptops. The video screens that lined the walls streamed live shots of each of the eighteen holes of the Trump International Golf Course in Charlotte, North Carolina. The president was addressing Administrator Long.

“I want the full resources of FEMA and the whole federal government on this thing, Long! We can’t leave anything on the table. I want action.

And I want hourly status reports. Tell me what’s going on.”

“Well, Mr. President, right now we’ve got an 18-wheeler loaded with paper towels headed to the club, but there’s a lot of flooding and…”

“Paper towels? For a hurricane?” the president shouted.

“That’s been the protocol since last year, sir,” stammered Long. “It really worked in Puerto Rico. You said yourself it was an ‘incredible success’.

Besides, we’re using Bounty…the quicker picker-upper.”

“Now you listen, and you listen good,” said Trump, standing up and leaning into the FEMA Administrator. “That water hazard on the eighteenth hole is almost nine inches above flood stage. The greens are totally saturated. Where are the helicopters? The rescue workers? The marines?”

“E-excuse me, your majesty…”

It was Eliot Loudermilk, a FEMA Deputy Administrator, just two weeks on the job. “Those resources are all on the coast. There was a lot of wind damage, and the rivers are flooding.

Almost a million people don’t have power…”

With a barely perceptible nod of the presidential head, two marines in dress uniform appeared at Loudermilk’s elbows and he was carried from the room. There was a momentary lull as the remaining people looked at the Commander-in-Chief.

“We’re not going to let false and defamatory stories distract us in a time of emergency! Does nobody read my tweets? Believe me, that coastal area was already suffering from broken infrastructure and massive debt. They’ll have to figure it out on their own. We have a real problem here with the sand washing out of the bunkers on the second hole,” he said pointing to a screen with a shaky, rain-soaked drone’s-eye view of a long par five. “See how it dog-legs left here?” he continued. “Maybe a couple of Chinook helicopters filled with sand could land in the rough over here…”

“Sir, I just gave the order. All relief efforts are being prioritized to this situation. Help is on its way,” announced Long. “It may take several hours. It’s still pretty stormy.”

“Damn it, you know better than to use the S-word! Still…that’s more like it,” beamed the president. “I may let you stay after all. See? This is exactly the kind of all-out effort that the fake news media won’t cover, but I’ll make sure the country knows, and in plenty of time before the midterms.” With that, Trump withdrew to the secure twitter chamber, flush with winning, as always.•

methane emissions is imperative in fighting climate change. Cornell’s greenhouse gas survey found them to be almost three times as serious as all other emissions combined on campus.

Nonetheless, they propose heating this project with natural gas, inherently causing serious upstream methane continued on page 7

mer Sunday night lots of folks didn’t seem to mind the hike. Plenty of free parking, a varied and delicious menu for those who want more than drinks, it was a very cozy, mellow place to be.

“Mix is a terrific spot for this weekly fun,” Dennis said. “Anyone who comes can sit and listen, and then join the house band or create a new band for the song. I’ve organized jazz jams in other cities and it’s a great way to get to know local musicians.

It’s open to all ages; once in a while my son Max, who is 11, plays violin with us. We do a few numbers to greet our guests, and then we start mixing it up, so everyone who wants to play can join in. No long waits.”

Winge adds: “Shayne plays blues for his house music in the restaurant, so we fit right in. Shayne and Mix are

emissions.

Second, Cornell falsely claims that alternatives to their proposed heating technology will increase natural gas demand even more. They claim that using power from the electricity grid to run ground-source heat pumps would draw exclusively on naturalgas power plants. In reality all power plants supplying the grid would contribute to that electricity. Interestingly, the winter heating season is exactly when the grid has excess hydropower.

Third, Cornell’s proposed rapidfire schedule of municipal review will avoid the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS). The proposal’s considerable methane emissions alone are sufficient to make a positive declaration of environmental impact. The ensuing EIS would have to thoroughly address the critical points of contention. That’s the only way the municipalities will get the understanding needed to make valid permitting decisions.

On current political conservatism

O

ver the past 40 years, I have tried to become an expert on Conservative political thought. I believe it is important to share with your readers the one important finding I have learned.

There now appears to be a much larger number of conservatives who are essentially “survival-of-the-fittest” Social Darwinists than there were during the 1950s through 1970s.

This means, I believe, that they want to abolish and eliminate all fed-

super nice and supportive, and you can feel their warmth when you come inside. And our Jazz Jam is another way to introduce folks to this wonderful new restaurant and new music.

For me, it’s perfect since they serve non-alcoholic drinks and even vegan food.”

Jazz and blues are the perfect mellow combination for Sunday evenings.

Tell a few friends to meet you at Mix Kitchen and Bar for the Jazz Jam. No RSVP needed. You can drop by after running Sunday errands, or at the end of weekend chores. Savoring a little time at Mix’s cheery spot will make the transition back to the work week seem lots easier.

eral government safety-net programs including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and College Student Loans.

You will find many of them in the US Congress within the “House Freedom Caucus,” the old “Tea Party,” and the “Movement-Conservatives.”

You will find a heavy dose of such thinking in conservative think-tanks such as “Americans For Prosperity,” “The Heritage Foundation,” and “The Cato Institute.

While some of these groups are open and transparent about their beliefs, many use hidden stealth tactics to influence opinion and political decision-making.

Others can do the same research I have done, and will likely come to the same conclusion.

I highly recommend the books “Dark Money” by Jane Mayer and “Democracy In Chains” by Nancy MacLean.

On the new AirBnB limits

atch all the single mamas who are renting extra rooms in their home to survive then have to go back to relying on welfare to survive in this already over priced housing market? Not a smart plan Ithaca. Air bnb has been a huge solution for home owners to pay for major house repairs, and fund their children’s education. It’s a vibrant and thriving Market which keeps people out of debt and having money to spend in our community. As long as it’s being claimed and taxed, there should be no issue how many days people are allowed to do this/yr.

ELECTION RECAP Contin u ed From Page 3

Democratic Party, Zohler feels that this isn’t necessarily the case.

She said that the Democratic party is going back to its roots because of the issues that candidates are focusing on are considered, to her, basic Democratic concerns. Since the 2014 midterm elections, Tompkins County saw an increase in the polls, with the highest being in votes that were cast. There were 983 more enrolled Democrats in Tompkins County, 1,576 more votes cast than in 2014, and a 5.73 percent increase in voter turnout. Zahler feels this can be attributed to an increase in people who usually vote in only in presidential elections.

“We are seeing a change in who’s com-

ing out to vote. People who used to vote only in presidential years are now voting in midterms and primaries, which have always been where change is most possible. Statewide, we more than doubled and in some places nearly tripled 2014’s turnout. Here in Tompkins, we were significantly over 2014’s numbers by 6 p.m.”

While Tompkins County voted primarily for progressive candidates, the rest of the state mostly voted for Cuomo, with Nixon picking up votes in counties in and around Albany. According to Zahler, while Nixon received votes in New York City, she seemed to fall short upstate, as many of the issues she focused on weren’t things upstate New Yorkers primarily dealt with.

“Nixon did not resonate with upstaters because her roots were in the city, and that’s where her issues were, too,” Zahler said, noting that incumbents are very difficult to shake out of office, which accentuated the importance of the IDC losses in the state government. “MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority], charter schools, and rent control are not issues that move our local electorate. She did very well in the counties around Albany, which was interesting. It may indicate that people who work in state government want a change! Hochul is a true upstate candidate, so that helped her with voters upstate, as did her incumbency.”

Zahler also said that one of the biggest Se p te m b e r

1 9 – 25 ,

difficulties with being able to resonate with voters in a state like New York is that the state has a split landscape, with most residents being split between very rural or very urban/suburban environments.

“If you break down the numbers, though, there are plenty of counties where the divide was close, and very few where one candidate or another just fell off the map,” she said. “I think Williams could have pulled it out with a couple larger population centers. It’s hard to do a statewide primary without a serious upstate field operation, and that’s much easier to organize when you’re the incumbent. Change is hard.”

Stephen Dewitt, Board of Elections Democratic Commissioner, also saw the uptick in voter turnout and felt it was related to the increased public consciousness surrounding politics.

“People are more engaged,” Dewitt said.

“They are taking part in stronger numbers.

For quite a while now, Tompkins County has been the strongest in terms of voter turnout in the last few years.”

Dewitt also said that since there were a lot of races on the ballot and that each race appeals to people, which also gave voters a reason to flock to the polls. In November, Governor Cuomo will be facing off against former Dutchess County executive Marc Molinaro, who is running on the Republican platform. Cuomo will also face a variety of third-party challengers including Larry Sharpe of the Libertarian Party, Stephanie Miner, running on the newly-created Serve America Movement line as well as Jimmy McMillan who is running under the independent party he created in 2005, the Rent Is Too Damn High party.

Even though she did lose the Democratic nomination, Cynthia Nixon and her running mate, Jumaane Williams, will be on the ballot in November as the candidates for the Working Families Party. However, according to The New York Times, if Nixon and Williams do not garner 50,000 votes in November, the party will lose its ballot line and cease to have a political presence in New York State.

However, Nixon has not announced whether or not she intends to withdraw from November’s general election.

Getting Tommy off the Ground How a local group will make a Tommy Plane fly Sept. 29

W

By Gay Hu ddle hen chatting with Ksenia Ionova of the History Center in Ithaca, to learn more about projects they were promoting, I was intrigued by her mention of the “Tommy Come Home” project. First, who or what is “Tommy?”

Turns out that “Tommy” is a very special airplane with its history rooted in the Ithaca area, but I discovered that every bit as important as the facts about this plane would be the emotional story about a true labor of life, being in the right place at the right time, the generosity of so many and divine intervention. That story, which has taken 15 years to finish, will come to a fitting end at the end of this month, as Tommy will take to the skies again.

The Thomas-Morse S-4 Scout was an advanced high-speed trainer plane de8 T

signed for the United States Army Air Corps, and was built and manufactured in Ithaca, and became affectionately known throughout the aviation world as “Tommy.”

Thomas-Morse was an American aircraft manufacturer, started by brothers William and Oliver Thomas in 1910 in Hammondsport, New York and was originally called the Thomas Brothers Company. Invited to relocate and do business in Ithaca, the company merged with the Morse Chain Company on South Hill in 1917, and began building and selling airplanes to the United States Army. The manufacturing went on at the Brindley Street plant in Ithaca as well as at Morse Chain’s South Hill factory, then known as the Hill Plant. The Ithaca Company was the fourth largest airplane supplier in the United States during World War I. In the spring of 1918 the “Tommy” plane

left Ithaca to become a war plane and this story might have been a lost one if not for what happened many years later.

In 2003, Mr. Don Funke, President of the Ithaca Aviation Heritage Foundation (IAHF) and the other members of the group, met to discuss ideas for Airport Day at the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, which was scheduled for September 15, 2018. Their research revealed how Ithaca had played a major part in early aviation, and the idea to “bring Tommy home to Ithaca” was born. The group’s mission is to “preserve and recognize the rich aviation heritage of the Central New York area and prepare the future of aviation by exposing today’s youth to the science, excitement and thrill of flight. We wish to inspire people of all ages to discover the excitement of aviation through handson programs that will promote learning through doing.”

And thus began the 15-year labor of love to bring “Tommy” home. The deep emotion Funke holds when talking about “Tommy” is immediately obvious as he talks about it. It’s clear how very important this has been to those involved, and for myself, I was just amazed at the beauty of the restored airplane, which sat right next to us while we talked. Funke also spoke glowingly of his wife, Caryl, who was a “Tommy plane widow” while he spent hours on the restoration project. Funke says Caryl was completely supportive and he could not have made this dream come true without her.

The first stumbling block in the search was the discovery that the Scout was nearly extinct, with only 15 known to exist worldwide, but the group all agreed that “If there was only one ‘Tommy’ left in the world, shouldn’t it be in Ithaca?” The biggest issue for the group, however, was

the fact that if a collector or museum had one, they would want a lot of money for it, or a trade, and the group had neither.

Undaunted, dedicated volunteers worked to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the project they had lovingly dubbed “Tommy Come Home.” Of course, then, there is divine intervention in the form of a certain Dr. William Thibault of Newport Beach, California, who had bought a “Tommy” plane at an auction and lent it to a San Diego museum, and here the story becomes one that supports the existence of fate. At a kiosk the aviation group set up at the Ithaca Festival in 2009, a lady was overheard telling the child she was with that “this group wants a “Tommy” plane and we have one.” A good bit of tracking down after that led to the news that Dr. and Mrs. Thibault (who was the lady at the festival) had a son and daughter-in-law right here in Ithaca, and messages flew back and forth as the effort was made to convince the doctor to donate the plane to the Ithaca group. Randy Marcus, colloquially known to the aviation group as The Closer, spoke with Dr. Thibault, wanting to convince him of the sincerity and dedication of the group’s mission. The doctor was not completely on board with the idea at first.

Then on Christmas Eve, 2009, Funke, being the only member of the aviation group in town during the holidays, met with Dr. Thibault, here visiting his family, and was the first to hear those long-awaited words: “The airplane is yours.”

The plane arrived in Ithaca in May, 2010, and the search began for a place to house it during the restoration project, resulting in the use of the Emerson Power Transmission plant on South Hill, formerly the Morse Chain plant, where, 100 years prior, craftsmen first manufactured this very airplane. In fact, the volunteers on the restoration team used some of the same tools from the original build, and when the facility closed down a year later, the equipment was donated to the IAHF to continue in the restoration. During this time, volunteers also helped restore “Tommy” at the Significant Elements building in Ithaca, known then as the Experimental Plant, another site where Thomas-Morse planes were built over 90 years ago.

Next stop for the restoration work was in a facility generously offered by Albert “Skeeter” Heidt of Dryden, and it went on there for the next three years, until Mike Hall, Manager of the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport asked, “When is this plane coming to the Ithaca airport?” Funke felt it would take a few months to move ev-

erything but Hall correctly predicted two weeks.

“Mike was on board with this project from the very beginning and his kindness, generosity and support have been invaluable,” Funke said.

As the work progressed, the primary deviation from the way the airplane left the factory is the use of a synthetic covering called Poly-Fiber. According to an article in the Hemmings Motor News, written by J. Daniel Beaudry, the material was chosen because of its durability and ability to retain size and shape. That ensures the plane can last for as long as possible in a museum setting.

This restoration project has been funded through the Ithaca Aviation Heritage Foundation, a charitable non-profit corporation that accepts donations and pledges of support for “Tommy Come Home.”

Donations can be made at the Tommy Come Home website. Our financial support will help with the cost of the Centennial Flight Celebration and the ongoing use of “Tommy” as an educational tool at Tommy’s permanent home, front and center, in the new Tompkins Center for History and Culture on the Commons in the former Tompkins County Trust Company building in downtown Ithaca, New York, set to open in early 2019. Rod Howe, the Executive Director at the History Center in Tompkins County, has also been another completely supportive friend of this project. Additionally, bringing Tommy home was made possible in part by a grant from the Tompkins County Tourism Program.

The History Center will, in fact, be offering a guided bus tour of Ithaca’s aviation-related sites from 1 to 4:30 p.m., Friday, September 28, on the eve of “Tommy’s” centennial flight. IAHF member Mike Shay, who has been directly involved with the restoration, will lead the tour, which will include visits to the Hangar Theater, the Aeroplane Factory site, and the Morse Chain plant (now Chain Works District). Don Funke will guide visitors through the Morse Chain plant and tell stories of what happened there 100 years ago. Please note that the Morse Chain plant is not wheelchair accessible.

The IAHF group also accepts volunteers of any skillset. The work includes woodworking, metal working, painting, sewing, administrative duties, and fundraising, to name a few.

The public is invited to watch “Tommy” grace the skies again, 100 years after it first flew, from 2 to 5:00 p.m., Saturday, Sep-

tember 29, at the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, 72 Brown Road. There will also be local food vendors, family-friendly activities, stories about “Tommy” and more.

This is a free event open to everyone.

I have a bracelet, made for me by a friend, engraved with the words “Don’t

just fly, soar!” Safe to say that on September 29 the Tommy Plane, and all those who brought it home to Ithaca, will truly be soaring, including Funke’s family coming in for the event from Florida and Montana, along with wife Caryl and their Ithaca-based daughter. •

Cornell’s Sprint football team gives opportunity

By Ste ve L aw re nc e

I

am always grateful for the opportunity to attend the Tompkins County Sports Luncheons, and when the event kicked off its 42nd season last week, I was there. The head coaches from all three local football teams give updates every week, and guest coaches are brought in periodically.

Dan Swanstrom was the leadoff hitter (sorry, wrong sport), and he talked about his Ithaca College Bombers’ seasonopening win over Saint Vincent and their disappointing loss to nationally-ranked Brockport. He said the Bombers were looking forward to their road trip to Alfred, and while it is a coach’s job to project optimism, Dan was believable.

Next up was Clarence Welch, Ithaca High’s new coach, and he was welcomed warmly. All football fans know that the Little Red have struggled considerably for the past few years, and Welch’s fresh outlook was bolstered by the fact that Ithaca won their season opener at Oswego. They have dropped two since that big win, but there is plenty of room for optimism, as

evidenced by big turnouts at Joe Moresco Stadium.

David Archer’s Big Red – always the last to the party – had not yet taken the field in 2018, but he talked about his team’s attitude regarding their designation as a 17-point underdog in their contest against the University of Delaware. The Red were undaunted, but it is likely that some oddsmakers were smiling on Saturday night, given the 27-10 Blue Hen victory.

When I clicked on the Cornell Big Red website on Saturday evening, I was startled to see this headline: “Big Red Takes Season Opener…” A closer look revealed that it was the Cornell Sprint Football team that won its opener, and it made me realize that Ithaca is, after all, home to four football teams.

The Sprint game is an entertaining variation, as the game is designed for “the average-size American male,” and weight limit is 178 pounds. Many players who were skill position players in high school find themselves playing on the line, and it is not uncommon to see a lineman run

Family & Children’s Services Open House

By Mat t Butl e r

T

he Family & Children’s Services organization exists in a strange spot, providing a necessary and virtuous service to the community but only being able to talk about it to a certain extent, lest they run afoul of privacy laws.

So when the organization gets the chance to market themselves, they have to take advantage of it. They did get an opportunity on Sunday, when they held an open house event at their location on West State Street to allow community members and benefactors the chance to get a glimpse at the breadth of services the organization carries out on a daily basis.

Vicki John, Development Coordinator for Family & Children’s Services (F&CS) said the purpose of the event was to illustrate how versatile and far-reaching the services at F&CS are, including showing people examples of play and art therapy, mindfulness training, sensory-integration therapy, etc., and give those who donated

or might donate in the future a better idea of what their money is going to fund. It included tours of the three floors of the building, getting to know clinicians who work there, food and drinks and the Fall Creek Brass Band.

“We’ve been in this building for 10 years, and we had a large capital campaign and just finished renovating this building 10 months ago,” John said. “We really hadn’t been able to bring our donors and friends into see the building, and not just to see the building but to see what goes on here.”

Many of the clinicians who work there volunteered to come in for the event and explain what kind of therapeutic services they provide, another group that usually cannot tout its work due to privacy issues.

Joana Chan, the organization’s staff writer, said the event gave F&CS the chance to show some of the more unexpected methods they use to help kids,

Chan explained the organization’s rural and community outreach facets, which allow them to either help struggling people in the immediate area or bring children in from nearby places like Groton or Dryden. Whether it’s helping get someone into their doors to work with their staff, or finding ways to assist them on their level and in their own comfort zone, Chan said there’s an emphasis on creating a safe space for people to reflect upon and recognize parts of their life that might need or will need addressing, particularly if that Sunday’s event at Family and Children’s Services on person has undergone some West State Street was meant to invite the community sort of traumatic experience inside the organization’s walls, giving a better sense or finds themself vulnerable to of what they do.

Mobilepack program sends food around the world

It’s clearly about faith and making a difference, because a lasting and positive change for society is needed. According to Father Joe Marcoux of St. Catherine of Siena Church, last year they had packed their 2 millionth meal for Feed My Starving Children. And this year they hope to pack 300,000 more meals. But Marcoux said it is the collective efforts of the congregations that raise $66,000 each year to host the mobilepack.

According to World Hunger, “Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more

“There are children that are hungry all over the world, but this is part of the answer – it’s not the answer, but it’s part of the answer,” Marcoux said.

The theme this year for the event is titled “What The World Needs Now...” a name inspired by the immediate need of feeding children is what area congregations are doing with the public event in Ithaca, which was held last week.

t’s many steps taken over time that bring about real change. A choice is made and hopefully a transformation occurs and this can make a lasting difference.

These steps for change have been taken by many, and for St. Catherine of Siena Church of Ithaca, which has been working with several other area congregations on a life-sustaining event, the work taken on will aid the non-profit group Feed My Starving Children. The vital work that

has been undertaken over time is for the benefit of children who are underfed and in great need from numerous countries around the world. And the Ithaca Feed My Starving Children mobilepack is the only one of its kind in the United States that works with different faith communities that come together so they can help the Feed My Starving Children organization.

St. Catherine of Siena Church began hosting the event about two years ago in which many meet in October and the custom “handpack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children,” are amassed and then shipped to distribution partners worldwide at different locations -- according to St. Catherine of Siena Church’s website. This year’s main pack will be held from October 10-14 at St. Catherine of Siena’s parish, where volunteers will be able to directly contribute to the effort. To assist with funding, a benefit concert was held last week to assist gathering donations.

For Rector Megan Castellan of St. John’s Church, one of the area congregations involved in the upcoming event, this event is important because “[I]t’s one of several programs that we support and does help those around the world who don’t have as much as we do.”

WHAT TO LOOK FOR AT THE 36TH ANNUAL CELEBRATION

thaca’s favorite fall festival is sticking with its seeds this year, bringing with it a 36th year of music, food and applecentric festivities for a three day stay on the Commons from Sept. 28-30.

The festival opens on Friday at noon and lasts til six, then operates from 10-6 p.m. the next two days. Downtown Ithaca Alliance Special Events Director Summer Keown said this year’s festival is going to stay with the successful formula its built over so many years prior: bring farmers downtown, where they might not normally be given a space to sell, and let the products do their own work. This year’s event is promotionally partnering with the First Peoples’ Festival, the Finger Lakes Comedy Festival, and the 2018 Tompkins County Public

The festival will retain its normal slate of weekend musical performances, splitting them up between the Bernie Milton Pavilion on the Commons and another venue on West State Street, with 22 performers booked total. West State Street will also include carnival rides and games, along with a mini-ferris wheel according to the event map. The event is presented by Tompkins Trust Company.

The family fun zone, which runs from 12-4 p.m. each day inside Center Ithaca, will include a miniature golf area, and balloon artist Amazing Pete will be constructing an apple tree made entirely out of balloons. The highlight of the zone this year is a LilySilly Puppet show on

“We’re kind of sticking to the basics this year,” Keown said.

And why mess with it? The festival is already eminently popular among Ithacans and can fill the Commons from top to bottom, even during the stressful weeks at the beginning of school for college students and parents. Apples have a long history in Ithaca, highlighted perhaps most significantly by the success and prestige of Cornell’s Society for Horticulture, who are a yearly participant in the festival.

“We’re really focusing this year on the traditional parts of Apple Harvest Festival, we have a lot of different types of farmers coming down with every type of apple you can imagine,” Keown said. “We’re very much keeping that the focus. All up and down the Commons will be different types of apple-related foods from Amish and other farmers.”

As for foods, downtown will be filled with the smells of fall as local vendors like Little Farm Bakery and others bring the city’s favorite fresh donuts, while the craft festival that

Sunday at noon.

Keown said the DIA is also working with select downtown restaurants to create a Bite of Ithaca-style aspect to the festival, where attendees could obtain a pass and the restaurants would be serving special apple-inspired drinks or dishes for purchase throughout the event.

Despite a burgeoning fall festival schedule that now includes the successful Cayuga Sound music festival, Keown said she isn’t worried about drawing people to the Harvest Festival or about overall attendance. While the possibility of festival fatigue exists, it’s dwarfed by Ithacans’ desire to support a local festival, Keown said.

The good foods help too.

“People have been asking us for months, we still see how excited people get through Facebook,” Keown said. “One thing I’ve noticed since I moved here [from Indianapolis at the beginning of the year] is that people come out and support everything that’s going on. I feel like there’s just as many events here as there were back in a bigger city, but there’s more support for them here.”

Apples through the Ages FROM THE BIBLE THROUGH ISAAC NEWTON

TO JOHNNY APPLESEED

By C a s sa n d ra Pa lmy ra

T

he ancestors of the domestic apple (Malus domesticus) are M. sieversii and M. sylvestris. They are native to the Trans-Caucasus region of central-southern Asia— southern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and southwestern China—but the center of diversity for the genus Malus is eastern Turkey.

It may be the oldest domesticated fruit. But it was not actually identified as the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Genesis accounts. Various interpretations of the text have that fruit as a grape, a fig, or ... wheat.

(Michelangelo went with figs on the the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.)

In any case it was not until depictions of the myth during the Middle Ages in western

Europe did the fruit become an apple. It is possible that this was a mordant joke on the part of various artists, who knew enough Latin to know that malum means both ‘apple’ and ‘evil’ (spelled the same, but pronounced differently).

Apples were known in the Middle East in the centuries before the Christian Era.

They are mentioned in Proverbs and they are also used as metaphors for sweetness, desire and the female breast in the Song of Solomon.

Fur ther west in classical Greece Homer had the Trojan War ultimately caused by an apple.

A golden apple label “To the fairest” was thrown among Aphrodite, Hera, and

Everyone knows the story about Isaac Newton hitting upon the theory of gravity after being hit on the head by a falling apple.

Unlike the completely apocryphal business of George Washington and the cherry tree—like the apple, a member of the rose family—there is some truth to Newton and the apple.

Apparently the natural philosopher did indeed like to sit contemplatively in a Lincolnshire apple orchard (owned by his mother), watching ripe apples fall to the

ground. According to the memoir of his contemporary William Stukeley, Newton told him at tea one afternoon in the 1660s that he couldn’t help noticing that the apples always fell straight down. He concluded that the Earth was actually drawing them towards its center.

“If matter thus draws matter,” wrote Stukeley, quoting Newton, “it must be in proportion of its quantity. therefore the apple draws the earth, as well as the earth draws the apple.”

Of course there had to be “the tree” and so a likely suspect was dug up and replanted outside the window that was formerly Newton’s quarters at Cambridge. Grafts from that tree have been replanted and the apples from it turn out to be a variety called “The Flower of Kent,” which is neither red nor round. It is green when ripe and pear-shaped and is used for cooking not eating.

Like Newton’s apple the story of “Johnny Appleseed” is a combination of actual history and a fair amount of fable. John Chapman was born in Leominster (pronounced “LEH-munsta”), Mass. in 1774. He went west from Springfield, Mass. in 1792, living a nomadic life until his father moved the entire family to Ohio in 1780.

At that time his father apprenticed him to an apple orchardist. When he resumed his nomadic life he began planting apple nurseries wherever he went. This is in contrast with the Walt Disney depiction of Johnny Appleseed simply scattering seed as he walked along with a pan on his head.

The pan on the head represents true eccentricity on the part of Chapman.

SPONSORED BYHe dressed in rags, preached the gospel of the Swedenborgian church as he roamed, was kind to animals in an era when such was rare, and most appleual h Annsignificantly 36t wise, he was strictly against the grafting of apple trees.

Apple The only way to get a variety to be consistent through generations is to graft cutting from the previous generation festival onto a stock root system. Chapman would have none of it.

Apples that grow from seed are a tart fruit that is primarily good for making apple cider. And in an era before the advent of refrigeration, nearly all cider was hard cider or “apple jack.”

In The Botany of Desire Michael Pollan refers to Chapman as “the American Dionysus.”

Chapman planted his nurseries and later orchards in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

Orchards were established in what is now New York while it was still New Holland under Dutch. Peter Stuyvesant, the governor of the colony, planted a tree in front of his residence in New Amsterdam in 1674. At the other end of the state the French colonists were planting orchards along the Niagara River in the late 17th century.

The first commercial apple tree nursery was established in 1730 in Oyster Bay, Long Island, and by the end of the 18th century orchards were well established up and down the Hudson and Mohawk valleys. By the 1760s apples were be exported to England.

According to the New York Apple Growers Association, in the late 18th century John Chapman visited his uncle’s farm in Olean, N.Y. and planted his very first nursery.

Some of the apples that are now regarded as “heritage varieties ” were first planted in New York in the latest 18th and early 19th centuries. The Northern Spy, which is still grown and used for hard cider making today, was first planted in East Bloomfield in 1800.

The Tompkins King was once thought to have originated in Jacksonville, N.Y. (a hamlet between Ithaca and Trumansburg), but none other than Liberty Hyde Bailey, Cornell professor and dean of American horticulture, took a look at the purported original tree and found that it was a graft. The variety was apparently developed in New Jersey brought to upstate New York sometime after 1804.•

mong the cider, the candied apples, etc., apple donuts have become one of the yearly Apple Harvest Festival’s most sought after treats, annually creating long lines that stretch around the popular Littletree Orchards booth, who have long been the area’s gold standard in terms of apple donuts, and were the festival’s only apple donut purveyors until this year.

This year’s Apple Harvest Festival takes place Fans of the snack will be able to stop by another vendor this year, operated by Indian Creek Farm out of Trumansburg. Indian Creek’s owner Steve Cummins said he doesn’t want to compete with Littletree, but that they’ve been making donuts at his farm for so long they finally decided to introduce the product at the Apple Harvest Festival this year, which is their fourth in attendance. Cider donuts are popular in the area in general, with Littletree, Indian Creek, Hollenbeck’s in Cortland and Stoneyridge in Erin all among the local orchards and farms specifically offering the delicacy during the autumn months.

“I love Littletree Orchard, that’s where I learned how to farm, so it’s not a competitive thing it’s just something we want to do ourselves,” Cummins said. “We’ve been making apple donuts for 10 years, but we just never brought them down. We think of Apple Harvest Festival as a show that we’re putting on for the community.”

Cummins’ view of the festival as a chance for significant exposure, some of that through performance and entertaining customers,

18

contributed to the decision to purchase their latest addition: a mobile donut machine that they will bring with them this year, accompanying their traditional copper kettle of warming cider.

Cummins has other ideas he said he’d like to present to the city too, like setting up applebobbing competitions or pumpkin-carving. He said he figures the more apple-specific events that could find the same success as something like the donuts can serve to further separate the Harvest Festival from Ithaca’s many other seasonal celebrations, helping it stand out and generating even more interest.

Cummins said the machine, built by Belshaw, boasts that it can make up to 120 batches of a dozen donuts per hour, and that he believes it will be the first time fresh donuts will be made on-site at the festival.

“We want to put on a good show for everybody, that’s our main focus is putting on a good show,” Cummins said. “Each year we want to try to make things just a little bit cooler, because kids never get to see things like this [...]

We’re trying to do that each year, just offer a few more things to the public that are a little bit more apple-y.”

This year’s “apple-y” addition is the on-site donut maker, for which the Indian Creek team is currently building a full structure to house their Commons spot for the three-day event.

Cummins said the process is easy enough to make the donuts themselves. Unlike some convenional donuts, Cummins said these are made with baking soda instead of yeast to make the dough rise. After futilely attempting to

make their own donut mix, Cummins said Indian Creek decided to start buying a mix and, to flavor them, use cider instead of water as an additive to the mix. Once those ingredients are mixed, they’re fed onto a conveyor belt and fried in oil. That’s when the “Donut Robot” takes over, dispensing four donuts at a time.

They’re minidonuts, at about two to four inches wide and an inch tall, but with a dozen or so coming out every 30 seconds, Cummins is excited for the possibilities. If it’s warm enough, Cummins said they might bring down their cider slushie machine too, to go along with the freshlycooked donuts.

All of this is done in the name of increasing the farm’s visibility, which Cummins said is

the main value for farms that go to the event. Though it’s nice to make some supplemental income while there and be part of something that celebrates their industry so unabashedly, Cummins said, the real impact of the event for Indian Creek, Littletree Orchards, or any other farm in the area is appealing to college students and people who live downtown to venture outside the city and to get the full farm experience, especially now during the busiest season.

“The townies all know us, but for the college kids, this might be the closest they get to a farm,” Cummins said. “It’s long-term for us.”•

X Ambassadors’ Cayuga Sound returns after fun first year

I

By K at e ly n L e boff

thaca is all about inclusivity, community, and diversity as no one knows better than locals like native Ithacans Sam and Casey Harris of worldrenowned alternative rock group, X Ambassadors. In collaboration with DSP Shows and local businesses and sponsors, X Ambassadors is coming home to Ithaca once again bringing a second year of Cayuga Sound music festival this coming weekend. This year’s lineup is an eclectic mash up of genres and artists from rock to experimental to folk to hiphop representing the diverse music X Ambassadors listened to, but very rarely had access to, growing up in Ithaca. And just like the Ithaca we know today, Cayuga Sound is bringing a little bit of everything and something for everyone.

Cayuga Sound is more than just a music festival; it’s a celebration of all things Ithaca and an effort to give back to the community that X Ambassadors, Dan Smalls, and Ithacans love so much.

“It’s another great thing to bring people to Upstate New York and Ithaca and is a way for us to continue giving back to our town,” Sam Harris said.

“We [DSP Shows] put on 700+ shows here in Upstate New York and the surrounding areas,” Dan Smalls, founder of DSP Shows, said. “This is my hometown, and I love it here and the community, and this is a collaborative effort to recognize all that Ithaca has given us and can offer.”

In its first year, Cayuga Sound raised nearly $50,000 for local charities and non-profits. This year the funds will be donated to two organizations: the Reach Clinic, which uses harm reduction techniques to fight the opioid crisis, and the Downtown Ithaca Children’s Center, which offers an after-school program on a pay what you can scale.

“It meant a lot to me growing up whenever my favorite bands and artists would come through Ithaca,” Harris said. “And it rarely happened... it was mostly bluegrass, Zydeco, maybe some Americana. But not much alternative

rock, hip hop or R&B that was on such a large scale.”

Harris said this year they wanted to start totally fresh with the line-up, though still have it retain a “eclectic and diverse” set of performers from all genres, backgrounds, and demographics.

Dan Smalls agreed, “We wanted to stay diverse and continue to bring acts people know and love while exposing them to things they may not have heard of.”

Friday night brings local indie folk rock group Lady D & the Shadow Spirits to get the two day festival going at 6 p.m., and Sofi Tukker on at 7 p.m. to change things up and get you raving. To close Friday night will be Young the Giant.

Sofi Tukker is a NYC-based EDM, house music duo who are constantly creating and innovating. They record their music in various places all over the world and embody that inclusivity and community that is the root of the Cayuga Sound festival and X Ambassadors/Dan Smalls’ vision for it.

“We will be performing some new music - a couple of unreleased tracks and a brand new song. And audiences should expect to sweat, dance, and smile,” the group said.

Coming all the way out from homebase Irvine, CA, Young the Giant will finish out the first night. This indie rock fivesome can transition easily from sweet, mellow, airy acoustic tunes to an interlude of a upbeat, more rock n roll vibe. They’ve also got new music in tow with a forthcoming full-length album, Mirror Master, to release in early October.

Probably one of the most well known and most talented Ithaca groups, upbeat alt rock trio with a folk twang Vee Da Bee, will be firing off the festival on Saturday performing first on the Hudson Whiskey Acoustic Stage. Next up on the Hudson Whiskey stage will be singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and recording engineer Aaron Rizzo, with a voice reminiscent of John Mayer and a more upbeat, pop Sam Smith style with soothing vocals and emotional lyrics.

Things get amped up again when Uni, NYCbased glam pop rock trio with a lot of sass, attitude, weird and just enough rock, takes the stage. The threesome packs in ethereal vocals, futuristic sounds, heavy guitar riffs that fade into slow melodic sounds, and a flamboyant, exaggerated look and performance.

Curated by Dan Smalls and the X Ambassadors, Cayuga Sound’s lineup features national acts like Talib Kweli and Young the Giant to local groups like Vee Da Bee. (Photo by Casey Martin)

To finish up the set at the Hudson Whiskey Acoustic Stage is The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, an Americana Rock quintet channeling rock, folk, bluegrass, and more and that can guarantee you’ll want to sing and dance along.

On the mainstage, No-Comply trio with rappers Kuya (David Cabueñas) and Bori (Matthew Valdez) and drummer Charles Chatman offer a unique combo of hip hop, rap and sound project.

Up next to the mainstage will be Ithaca living, NYC transplant KNEW featuring Ava Knew, hip hop artist, rapper, and mover and shaker, who is pursuing music while finishing up her undergraduate degree.

After back to back hip hop performances, we shift gears as bluesy, rock n roll Hannah Wicklund & the Steppin Stones take the stage bringing her booming voice and mean hand at guitar shredding.

Back at it again with the hip hop,Towkio, a multi dimensional and instrumentalist Chicagobased hip hop, rapper and vocalist, takes the stage. Towkio creates tunes that transition back and forth from bumping beats, base, and hard fast rapping to easy breezy hip hop with emotional lyrics. Towkio has collaborated with artists like Chance the Rapper, Lido, and SZA and just released his first full length album, .WAV theory.

Brooklyn-based Talib Kweli, who was a major influence on the X Ambassadors, comes on next. Talib Kweli is an alternative, hip hop rapper in the game since the early 90’s and smoothly spits out lyrics that tell stories and still holds that old school feel.

Indie dance pop duo, Brooklyn-based Matt and Kim are the last performance of the night before the X Ambassadors close out the festival.

It is hard to listen to any of their bouncy, beatdriven tracks and resist the urge to dance and smile. They are also bringing some new tunes with them as they just released their newest album, Almost Everyday, in May. “This is the last show of our tour so I think continued on page 25

Her still-lifes, generically titled, embody a sense of silence and inner life that resonate with the work of the 17th century Dutch masters while employing a festive yet subdued sense of color and light that feels distinctly modern. I was reminded as well of the late photographer Rudy Burckhardt, whose own still-lifes display a similar combination of delicacy and subtle wit.

Two to Tango

Local duo’s show a refreshing success

By Ar thur W hit m an

T

his month at the CAP ArtSpace, an unusual treat: observational painter Gillian Pederson-Krag and assemblage sculptor Victoria Romanoff side-by-side in a contemplative, gently humorous dialogue of new and old work. Pederson-Krag and Romanoff are local veterans, having graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1963 and having gone on to get their MFAs at Cornell. In a visual arts community that admires young talent – or would-be-talent – it’s refreshing to see two artists, whom in their distinctive ways embody such perseverance and depth. (Pederson-Krag, in particular, has been painting in this manner since at least the seventies. But it would be churlish to object.)

It’s a pairing which might seem arbitrary or sentimental, especially in a diverse, fragmented contemporary art environment in which “realist” painters and assemblagists often seem to occupy separate worlds (and to address separate audiences). Yet it takes but a little time spent in looking to see the emotional and narrative resonances between the two. One rounds the gallery, investigating a grouping of one artist, then the other, until one emerges with an enhanced sense of what each has to offer.

Pederson-Krag, recently returned to the area from Santa Cruz, is showing a group of small oil paintings – mostly still-lives, most of them square in shape. (Missing and missed are her masterful, eccentric

quarter view, a young woman sits on what looks like a small round table or stool, sharply lit by the warm sunlight coming in from an unseen window, stage right. The walls are aqueous green while the floor is built in shades of reddish and yellowish brown. A purple-blue table stands in the foreground, oblique. Three small landscapes – presumably paintings – on the wall and floor offer pictures-within-thepicture showing nature as something both venerated and distant.

Romanoff, an architect well-known for her local historical restorations, brings a related sensibility to her scrap sculptures.

As in previously exhibited works, she arranges and manipulates wood furniture parts and other found and constructed things, building-up visually punning structures that combine abstract form with hints of narrative and portraiture.

Several pieces are mounted on painted wood supports playfully mimicking classical columns. One of the best of these, “High Wire Act Above a Stupa” centers on a tiny, Calder-esque copper wire figure and line – constructed, unexpectedly, by Pederson-Krag. The line is suspended from two of the four wooden poles that surround the tiered mound “stupa” (an allusion to traditional Buddhist architecture) – all on a temple-like base placed incongruously on one of the artist’s signature Dorics.

A series of recent sculptures incorporate roots and driftwood. The artist has painted these rougher, natural forms in distinctly unnatural shades of red, yellow, and orange meant to evoke the body and its innards. They bring a sense of brashness to an otherwise quiet, meditative exhibit. Particularly notable is “Fleur du Mal,” a “bouquet” of three sunflower-like forms standing independently on tall steel and iron supports fabricated by blacksmith – and fellow Trumansburg artist – Durand van Doren. The collision of stiff, spiky metal, with knotty, writhing wood is not Romanoff ’s most assured – but it shows the artist at her most brash.

Neither Pederson-Krag nor Romanoff has exhibited their work extensively in the Ithaca area in recent years. This is a two-person show of uncommon depth and reward.•

Ithaca’s native celebration Porchfest returns for its 12th year, taking over Fall Creek for a Sunday of music acts with local ties and food trucks with pun-centric names.

This year’s event takes place Sunday, Sept. 23, spanning from noon until 6 p.m.

Genres featured normally stretch from acoustic guitar to hip-hop and R&B, and the event is free to attend with several food trucks stationed there.

Lesley Green, one of the founders of Porchfest who is still organizing the event, said the basic structure of the event will remain the same, with some certain schedule and amenity tweaks. The event has come a long way from its humble beginnings, particularly after the community began assisting with financial expenses, and now stretches from Ithaca Falls and Fall Creek all the way to a large slice of downtown, bordering on the Commons in 2017.

“It started out at about 20 bands, and grew by about 20 bands every year for the first bunch of years and fortunately has leveled out the last few years,” Green said.

“So we’re looking at about 175 bands this year.”

The plateau is not a discouraging sign for the festival, Green said, and actually more of a relief than anything. Maneuvering the schedule is the toughest part of the organization process, she said, and coordination is already difficult enough as it is.

Most porches host just one act, and the maximum is three per porch, which means somewhere between 60 to 150 or so porches are hosting shows this year throughout Fall Creek. This year Green said they have made sure the first hour of the event, the noon to 1 p.m. hour, will be dedicated to acoustic acts, something that has been somewhat challenging in the past as acoustic acts can struggle to be heard

over the din of their counterparts. Currently, 21 bands are slated to during the opening period.

“Back when it was very small, it was also much quieter,” Green said. “And we’ve definitely heard from people who miss that mellow, quiet vibe so the first hour of Porchfest is going to be all acoustic. So we’ll ease the sound in.”

The festival was born in 2007 after a simple conversation between Green, her husband and fellow founder Gretchen Hildreth about their desire to create a community-based music festival. Now the brainchild has grown to include 123 different cities for different Porchfests across the United States in 2018.

Perhaps the most notable change coming to the festival this year will be with food options and distribution. Green said for years the city has wanted to step away from managing the food truck permit process for each individual vendor for the festival, something that is finally happening this year. Kate Foley, owner and operator of the Silo Food Truck, offered to organize the applications herself, which has opened up the field to more opportunities for different types of food truck vendors this year. Included in the aptly named PorchFeast roster this year are Silo Food Truck and Cayuga Lake Creamery, with Shuck Yeah, the Good Truck, Eat the Food and Cascadeli, from Cornell University. Those trucks will be stationed at two locations: Thompson Park and Auburn Park.

Green, speaking from a place of some admitted bias as she works at the Kitchen Theater, said she is probably most excited for one performance in particular: the cast and band of Kitchen’s current production, Girlfriend, will be performing during one of the shows at Porchfest this year. •

CCO Starts in Grand Style Diverse lineup looks to tackle ambitious set

By Jane D ie ckm ann the program is music by Gluck, Schumann, and Beethoven.

The customary pre-concert chat starts at 6:45.

This is, as usual, a very busy week for Cornelia, with rehearsals plus auditions This year’s Cayuga Chamber Orchestra performers, who are for brass and debuting their new season on Friday, September 21. trumpet players and a session with the Youth Orchestra on o open their 42nd season, the Sunday following the concert. She is lookCayuga Chamber Orchestra, ing forward to a very exciting season, one conducted by music director designed to convey the CCO’s dedication Cornelia Laemmli Orth and with soloist to the idea of community.

Miri Yampolsky, offers a truly compelling “No matter who you are, your nationalconcert. Titled A Heroic Beginning, it ity, your color, your religion,” she told me. will be at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, September “We all come together in a peaceful and 21, in Ford Hall at Ithaca College. On joyful way.”

T

She points to the string section’s leaders—the concertmaster is Korean/Canadian, the violin principal Japanese, the violist Australian, the cellist British, the bass player American, while her soloist for this concert was born in Russia, grew up in Israel, and now is an American citizen.

Simply said, “Music builds communities and brings us together.”

The concert opens with the short overture to “Orfeo ed Euridice,” probably the most famous opera of German composer Christoph Willibald von Gluck. “[It is] gorgeous,” Cornelia says, adding that “We want to start with something festive.”

Then comes the poignant and complex Piano Concerto in A minor, Opus 54, by Robert Schumann. Soloist Yampolsky, whose artistry and mastery of the piano is well known to many listeners, runs Cornell’s chamber music program, and with her husband, Cornell professor of piano Xak Bjerken, directs the fabulous international chamber music festival Mayfest here. Since coming here Cornelia has wanted to invite her to play with the orchestra. The two have a special connection as Cornelia’s teacher and mentor at Northwestern University was Miri’s uncle, Victor Yampolsky. Cornelia appreciates that so often the piano and orchestra are equal partners in the Schumann work, which exploits the wide register of both.

As for Miri, she told me that she first learned the concerto just a year ago, when she performed it with the Cornell Symphony Orchestra conducted by Chris Kim. It was a brand new piece for her, she says,

so in terms of ideas and structure, “it’s all mine.” But the challenge is daunting. She feels the sadness and pain, the constant push and pull of the contrasting sides of Schumann’s troubled personality, the two constantly present voices. She feels privileged to be playing the concerto, but then questions whether she is doing justice to this “incredibly emotional and beautiful piece.”

“She will make the piano sing [...] how lucky we are to work with her,” Cornelia said.

After Intermission comes the beloved Symphony No. 3, called Eroica, by Ludwig van Beethoven. Despite its customary four movements, this work breaks the traditional mold of the classical symphony and looks forward in orchestration, mood, and form. It’s “highly romantic,” Cornelia said.

“So far ahead of Beethoven’s time.”

Instead of the usual slow second movement we hear a funeral march with a magical trio, followed by an original symphonic form, a Scherzo. The finale is a very extended and broadly orchestrated theme and variations. Cornelia is amazed

by Beethoven’s contrasts—time that flows and then stands still, sunshine followed by clouds, fury versus tenderness—showing the “beauty of human character” in a heroic way. The perfect close to a powerful opening night.

The rest of the season continues the CCO’s community involvement. In Concert #2 the soloists, concertmaster Christina Bouey and Steven Doane, husband of CCO’s first chair cellist Rosemary

half of that factory to Augsburg, where Mr. Gebauer signed on.

By the time NCR bought Allen Wales, an adding machine company in Ithaca Hans’ work had caught the eye of Augsburg plant administrators, who arranged for him to move to the U.S. “I wasn’t an engineer,” he said, modestly. “I was just a technician.” In 1956, at the age of 24, the single Augsburg employee so selected, he came to Ithaca. Fortunately, Czechoslovakia’s school system taught him English in middle school. “I had so many lucky breaks,” he says of this period.

After 20 years with NCR, he knew it was time to move on. As a tradesman without a degree, he felt he could rise only so far.

He had set up a machine shop in his basement, where he had been making mechanical parts for Cornell researchers involved with the U.S. space program. He was also discovered by a professor who was using a Phillips electron microscope in his research. The microscope’s specimen holder was very delicate, and Mr. Gebauer figured out a way to repair or replace it. Soon the Netherlands-based microscope manufacturer was referring their repair business to him.

At NCR he had met Tom Overbaugh, Bill Farrell, and Tom Seany, all owners and fans of antique cars who later developed their own successful businesses. He became their go-to guy for machining out-of-stock engine parts for 1920s Model T, PierceArrow, Reo classic automobiles. And more recently he’s been involved in the restoration of the WWI Tommy training plane, manufactured in Ithaca in 1918, which was restored in Ithaca using some of the equipment originally used during WWI. It is scheduled to fly again on Sept. 29 from the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, all under the direction of Don Funke, another former NCR colleague.

“Don is a great mechanic,” he said. “He’s CAYUGA SOUND Contin u ed From Page 21

we’re going to really get down that night,” said Matt Johnson. “Last show; let’s go all in. It’s the finale, the firework at the end, which will mostly be from Kim’s aura.”

The party doesn’t stop at just the two days. There are also Official Cayuga Sound Pre & After Parties Thursday and Friday nights.

Brooklyn synthpop duo Great Good Fine OK will be starting off the Cayuga Sound weekend right with a performance at the Pre-Party Thursday night at the

for the community, “Magic, Movies, and Music,” on October 26 at the State Theatre, complete with costume parade, prizes, and music from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, plus creepy Halloween pieces.

This season, with its “heroic beginning,” promises wonderful music to enjoy and share together. •

very dedicated. The plane is better now than when it was new. There were a lot of people involved in restoring the plane,” he added. “There’s a lot of knowledge in this town.”

He says the plane is very difficult to fly, because of its 300-pound rotating engine block, a feature that presents a problem with torque.

Personally he flourished, too. In 1959 he married Anna Koerbs, also of German heritage, whom he met in Syracuse, and they raised two daughters in Ithaca. He calls her “a wonderful partner, a Girl Scout leader, a volunteer in the community, and a great cook.” She died seven years ago.

At NCR he was a tradesman; without a degree he felt he could rise only so far. He vowed that his daughters would be better prepared to succeed, and so they have.

In recent years he has become close with a woman friend, also German, a competitive swimmer, and great company on Sunday drives in one of his several cars.

Looking back on his NCR days, he said, “The end of mechanical technology was already in sight. They didn’t know that electronics were going to take over. But now the adding machines are in museums.”

“I think Ithaca is a wonderful place,” he enthuses. “It’s full of people like me, from all over the world, and there is so much talent! We’re lucky to have Cornell here—it makes Ithaca very special. At 86, I’ve had a wonderful life. And still do.”

His advice to those coming up in the world: “Don’t be afraid of anything. If you’re curious, get into it. And you’ve got to diversify, because times change.”

Looking back on his personal trajectory, he said, “We were so poor. Now, by comparison, I’m rich!” A mechanical whiz, he’s produced parts for everything from typewriters to electron microscopes, from space-buggy gadgets to Pierce-Arrows. He still loves cars. But a mechanic to his soul, he still doesn’t own or use a computer.• Peggy Haine Haunt joined by Hannah Wicklund and The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow. In the past few months Great Good Fine OK released “Change” and “Touch,” two songs that will be included on an EP they are releasing soon. And on Thursday night, you might get to hear some of that new material.

And don’t forget the IU/Cayuga Sound After-Show Party on Friday night at The Haunt featuring Queens-rooted rapper, hip hop artist, and producer Elucid. You can also catch Buffalo-based electronic experimental trio Space Cubs; Myles Cameron an upbeat R&B, hip hop artist hailing from Westchester, NY with a deep, powerful voice; and Lazy Bones is an alt-indie
