Discover Marcellus Fall Festival October 2 Come to Marcellus for a day filled with fun fall stuff ! Parade at 3 PM! The Greater Marcellus Community Chamber announces a wonderful new annual event for Marcellus. It’s called Discover Marcellus Fall Festival. The Festival, planned for Saturday, October 2, 2004, will feature a street fair from 9 AM to 4 PM along North and Main Streets in the village. A Discover Marcellus Fall Festival Parade will step off at 3 PM. The festival is sponsored by Slate Hill Constructors. “It’s going to be very exciting,” said Greater Marcellus Community Chamber Vice-President and Fall Festival Organizer Jeri-Marie DeWitt. “There will be plenty for families to do including a pumpkin decorating contest, sidewalk art, games, food, crafters, line dancing and much more!” Crafters, street vendors and
non-profit groups with fundraising activities are encouraged to register for a street booth. The fee is $25 ($15 for chamber members, no charge for non-profit groups). To register call Sharyn Malinowski at
The JavaJuice Café at 315-6732599. To participate in the Discover Marcellus Fall Festival Parade contact Jeri-Marie DeWitt at Marcellus KeyBank at 673-2035. Community groups, owners of antique cars, and businesses are
encouraged to march in the parade. “This is just another way to bring the community together before the long winter,” explained Greater Marcellus Community Chamber President Scott McClurg. “We really have plenty to be proud of in this town, so the Greater Marcellus Community Chamber is just looking for more ways to show it off.” McClurg says the idea for a Fall Festival was born when chamber members discussed ways to celebrate September’s scheduled re-opening of the bridge. “Our bridge closing party (in June) was such a success, we decided we needed to plan something like it for the re-opening. Then we said why not plan something we could repeat every year,” said McClurg.

Chamber Welcomes Stenuf Music Studio The Greater Marcellus Community Chamber recently officially welcomed Stenuf Music Studio to the Village of Marcellus. Located at 19 North Street, Stenuf Music Studio offers voice and piano lessons to people of all ages. Stenuf Music Studio is owned and operated by Marlene Stenuf. Stenuf says she brought her music studio to Marcellus because she loves the people here. “The kindest people I’ve ever met live in Marcellus,” said Marlene Stenuf. “It is a really nice, familyoriented town.” She also liked the fact she could design the perfect studio from the ground up for her voice and piano classes. Stenuf, a music teacher for 25 years, graduated from Syracuse University with two degrees; one in Music Performance and the other in Music Education. After finishing her post graduate work in Vevey, Switzerland, Stenuf studied piano many years with Lydia Edrei at the Paris Conservatory and voice with Neva Pilgrim of the Vienna Conservatory of Music. After performing herself for a number a years, Stenuf has decided she likes teaching the best. “It is an art to teach. It’s a very giving profession which makes me feel fulfilled,” she said. Stenuf says her new studio on

Marcellus Celebrates Bridge Re-opening
Marcellus children help Onondaga County Executive Nicholas Pirro and Marcellus Village Mayor Fred Eisenberg cut the ribbon to re-opn the bridge in the Village of Marcellus. Slate Hill Constructors beat their deadline to complete the bridge.
Greater Marcellus Community Chamber President Scott McClurg of McClurg Associates with Onondaga County Executive Nicholas Pirro and Nojaim’s Rich Nojaim at Bridge Celebration.
The Town and Village of Marcellus rejoiced recently when the new and improved span which connects Main Street in the Village with Seneca Turnpike re-opened. Onondaga County Executive Nicholas Pirro joined Marcellus Village Mayor Fred Eisenberg in cutting the ribbon to officially open the new bridge. Village children were also asked to assist. The new bridge was built by Slate Hill Constructors. “I would like to thank Slate Hill Constructors for doing such a fantastic job in such a timely manner. They understood the bridge closing was going to be a hardship for this community so they planned and executed the reconstruction so the bridge would be open before the start of school. They actually came in under deadline!” said Greater Marcellus Community Chamber President
Scott McClurg. “I would also like to thank the wonderful community of Marcellus for taking the time to use the detours to continue supporting our local businesses. It was a challenging three months but together we all pulled through!” The bridge project began June 21st. Traffic was re-routed around the Village all summer. The expected opening was September 10th...the actual opening was September 3rd. Slate Hill Constructors continues to support the Marcellus community. They’re sponsoring the Greater Marcellus Community Chamber’s first annual Discover Marcellus Fall Festival, Saturday, October 2, 2004 from 9 AM to 4 PM in the Village. “The community is very grateful to Slate Hill Constructors for their hard work and support,” said McClurg.
Marcellus villagers watch as the first car in three months crosses the new span.
Behind the scenes: Rita Weeks loves flowers but most of all she enjoys making people happy. Rita is the new owner of the florist shop on North Street in the Village of Marcellus called ‘Florist at One North.’ “By biggest thing is customer service,” said Rita. “We’re very friendly and low key.” Since for Rita, it’s all about the customer, she and her staff are very open-minded when it comes to customer suggestions and ideas. “We want your flowers to match your vision,” Rita said. Rita has worked in the customer service industry her whole career for mostly large corporations. “It was time to do something on my own for myself,” she said. Rita says she worked with former florist shop owner Anita Williams extensively to learn every aspect of the business before the transition. Rita works with two employees: 7 year shop veteran Donna Shoudy and Colleen Sheridan, an interior designer. Together they all love working with the people of Marcellus. “It’s just a lovely community,” said Rita. “I love the people, I love the Village immensely. I just love being a part of the Village.” Rita has exciting plans for her shop ‘Florist at One North’ including expansion of her gift line. “Look for changes but we still the same friends,” Rita said. Rita lives in Marcellus with her husband, Dan. She has two grown sons who live in Los Angeles.

Greenfield Pottery Offers Unique Ceramic Creations Michael Greenfield first began making ceramic pottery when he was ten years old. After a small hiatus while in college, Greenfield rediscovered his long-time hobby again in 1998 when he purchased a wheel and kiln for his basement. After a few years of just selling his ceramic pottery at shows and festivals, Greenfield was encouraged to take over the village storefront recently renovated into an art studio by artist Edie Brown. Now Greenfield teaches pottery classes and produces his own line of hand-made mid-range stoneware at his North Street location. All of items Greenfield produces are works of art but they’re also
functional. “They’re safe for the dishwasher and the oven,” Greenfield said. Greenfield recently won first place at an art show at Onondaga Community College. His ceramic teapot was entered in the contest without his knowledge by his instructor. Greenfield lives on First Street in Marcellus with his wife, Theresa, and their two children, Meghan, 10, and Joshua, 6. Greenfield Pottery is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 TO 9 PM, Saturdays 10 AM to 5 PM and Sundays from noon to 5 PM.
OFF THE CUP
with Sharyn Malinowski I’ve been know to spend a few hours a day in a coffee shop...(oh who’s kidding...I’m the owner of JavaJuice Cafe in Marcellus)... anyhoo...I’m around coffee talk Sharyn all day that I would Malinowski like to share with you. No, not really talk that occurred over coffee but talk about coffee... For example, did you know that coffee was first known in Europe as Arabian Wine? It is generally believed that coffee was first brewed in the Middle East. Milk as an additive to coffee became popular in the 1680’s,
when a French physician recommended that cafe au lait be used for medicinal purposes. The heavy tea tax imposed on the colonies in 1773, which caused the “Boston Tea Party,” resulted in America switching from tea to coffee. Drinking coffee was an expression of freedom. The founding fathers of the U.S., during the revolution, formed their national strategies in coffeehouses. In early America, coffee was usually taken between meals and after dinner. Now don’t hold me to these tidbits of coffee trivia...they’re just something I heard between pouring cups. Sharyn Malinowski is the owner of JavaJuice Cafe, serving gourmet coffee, specialty drinks, breakfast and lunch, located on Main Street in Marcellus.
