he Kirkland Art Center’s search for an executive director is closing in. According to the Board of Directors, the Center is on track to name a new leader, but finding the right person is taking precedence over any deadlines. “Our goal is not to name a new executive director by the end of the month, but to take the time to ensure that we select the best match for the Kirkland Art Center and our community as a whole,” KAC CoPresident Carrie Matt said. The process has been at the top of the Center’s to-do list since interim director Gina Murtagh’s promised term of one year expired last month. Murtagh, whose last day was May 31, stepped in on a part-time basis following Kathleen Teodoro’s departure from the position in summer 2013. DIRECTOR, page 6

representing different interests in the arts and the community attended the meeting, airing concerns and ideas. The overall takeaway was genuine excitement. Moore and Schneider began discussing the idea in February. It started more like a daydream of Schneider’s, which quickly expanded into a pulsing need to see the project through. “Clinton, perhaps, could be the focus of symphonic music. It’s a daring thought,” said Moore. “The more I thought about it, the more excited I got.”

The first signs of Clinton’s newest and boldest ambition came in the form of a typed letter. It was a short letter— only eight paragraphs—and it was signed simply “Roger.” “I have a dream,” it began. Dr. Roger D. Moore penned the letter. He, along with Maestro Charles Schneider of the Schenectady and Catskill Symphonies, have started a push to bring professional classical music to the Village in a big way. Those who received Moore’s letter were invited to the Kirkland Art Center on June 3 to discuss the proposition of a Clinton symphony orchestra in a open forum where everyone’s thoughts could “ferment.” About 20 individuals

ounty Executive Anthony Picente’s message was clear during a Monday morning press conference on Cleveland Place: No one is going to save us but ourselves. “We can’t always wait for the state and we can’t always wait for the federal government,” said Picente. “The towns have stepped up and the county has stepped up to help financially.” At the conference, Picente announced county funding aimed at mitigating flooding in the area. A project at St. Mary’s Brook and in the Oriskany Creek will take place in the Town of Kirkland. A total of $500,000 is being allocated to the county. Kirkland will receive $325,000 of it. The project does not promise to completely eliminate flooding in the area, but instead lessen the effects. Following Picente’s words, Kevin Lewis, executive director of the Oneida County Soil and Water Conservation District, explained that there are essentially two objectives with the project: to build improved waterway infrastructure and to make communities more flood resilient. “Many of these projects will have the same type of goal—to allow the water to stay in the stream and then to control the release and flow of the

took the men’s overall category. Millar finished with a time of 15:55 that left even Clinton varsity track linchpin distance runner Jack Yaworsky scratching his head. (“That was insane,” said Yaworsky.) Millar’s run is the fastest time of any runner in the event in at least the past 10 years. Rather than running, Yaworsky watched the race from the sidelines thanks to a flare-up of tendinitis during the high school state championships the day before. Instead, leading the pack for the School was Jon Kulpa, coming in with a time of 18:16, which was the third overall best in the men’s category. Taking into account the battles of his own that he was facing on race day, Kulpa was pleased with the run. “Considering my allergies and having to take an SAT this morning, yeah I’m pretty happy,” said Kulpa. “The pollen wasn’t too helpful.” Nikolas Rebovich of New Hartford finished second in the men’s division with a time of 18:01. Winning in the overall women’s and men’s masters categories were Hilde Lowenstein and Erik Jacobson with times of 26:57 and 19:44, respectively. A total of 252 competed in the 5K event, a slight drop from last year, which some chalked up to the competing boys varsity baseball regional championship game happening 50 miles away. Still, clean-spirited competition shined through until the final participant crossed the finish line at the hour mark. A Youth Fun Run was held at 4:45 p.m., followed by a 1-Mile race at 5:15 p.m. Kass Gifford and Owen Saunders of Clinton came in second and third in the 1-mile event.

Humans are creatures of comfort. Some more so than others, but chances are you have things you’ve found you like to do, and you stick with them. When John and I began talking about this week’s issue, he came to me with an idea—let’s do variable data printing. At first, I had a sense of dread. Could we pull it off? Did we have enough time? Were we going to be able to do it well? We’ve only put out the paper for two months and are finally falling into a rhythm with the production schedule. I questioned whether we really wanted to shake it up. Can you tell I am one of those “creatures of comfort”? Several phone calls to our press along with some explaining of our vision and we had our answer: yes, we were going to do this. Printing has come a long way. Though we have the convenience of laser and inkjet printers in our homes and offices, thousands of years ago the original printer was your own hand. Today, The Courier is printed on a web press at Steffen Publishing (hello guys!) in Holland Patent. What that means is, the paper is printed on a press that uses plates, almost like large negatives, rubber rollers and ink to create the pages you read each week. While there is no “file>print,” it doesn’t mean that the press and its operators can’t do some pretty neat things. You might have noticed when you picked up the paper in the store, or saw it while out shopping, that the next one in the stack was different than the previous one. Welcome to variable data printing. This week, we printed 5 different versions of the paper. Call us crazy, but we are committed to bringing you an informative, creative and

community-driven paper each week, and this week, we simply decided to give ourselves a little more work. Each version of the paper has 4 pages that change (cover, pages 10 and 11 and the back page). While the words mostly remain the same, we decided our key variable data was going to be photographs. We wanted to showcase as many photos as we could to visually recognize the hard work that went into different events this past weekend. From the more than 250 people who ran the KAC Annual 5K (see results page 5) and the Fire Department’s Barbecue and Cruise In (see page 10), to the toddlers raising money for a parent with cancer and numerous vendors at the Farmers’ Market (see page 9), the community was buzzing with spirit and dedication. It's this spirit and dedication and deep sense of community we feel here in Clinton, and an off hand comment from a friend (Hi, Lauren!), that pushed us to bring about another change to what The Courier is producing. This will be the inaugural year for a Mr. and Ms. Clinton (see page 16). Take a moment to think about that person you know who is involved in everything, and then nominate them. We hope you enjoy this week's special issue, and maybe even collect them all.

Pavilions at the Town Park are filling up fast as we jump head first into summer. If you have a particular picnic area or date in mind for your event this summer, be sure to reserve early—you will be competing with the countless other school, community and sporting organizations in Town. If you’re a Town Park skeptic, you should note that Mike Orsino and the Town staff have been hard at work this spring making the Park a particularly pleasant place to spend

time outdoors. Picnic tables have been painted, netting has been put up in pavilions to keep birds out, wild flowers have been planted near the upper baseball field to add color, and work has been done to fix and clear pathways in wooded areas. With great things comes great demand. Plan ahead for your event.

Clinton Scene: Insanity Treated in Utica Letter: Soccer Team Car Wash This past Saturday, the Clinton boys soccer team held a car wash at the Stewart's on Route 12B, and we would be remiss if we didn't thank our entire community for their support. The people who attended our event, and generously reached into their pockets to contribute, did so all day long. There were times our three dozen players from grades 7 through 12 were washing four cars while four cars were waiting! Everyone was so kind. Everyone was so patient. The families who gave us their sons for the day also need to be thanked. The Landry family helped all day long and made it an efficient and fun activity. Most of all we want to thank Stewarts, who gave us half their parking lot, their water supply, and equipment to make our event successful. More than the things they gave us, every single employee at Stewarts could not do enough for us. They acted like they were working for us. There isn't a year that goes by where I am not reminded what a great place to coach Clinton is! Thank you. –Gil Palladino Head Coach, Boys Varsity Soccer

By Richard L. Williams Town and Village Historian

fter a series of four articles on the temperance movement and Prohibition here in Central New York, we will turn towards West Utica and explore the Greek Revival building on Court Street, which was called the New York State Insane Asylum when it opened in 1843. More recently it has been called “Old Main.” Mental health today often makes the news, ranging in issues from domestic abuse to violent crime. Insanity defenses are not uncommon in our courts. But let’s take a look at the state of mental health 170 years ago and how Utica pioneered the movement with an impressive building still standing today. Over 2,000 people were admitted to the New York State Insane Asylum in its first 10 years of existence from 1843 to 1853. What insanity was and how to treat it were major questions. The Utica location was chosen by the state, and $60,000 was appropriated to build it. Within four years it was home to more patients than any other similar institution in the country. To lead this new mental health venture, Dr. Amariah Brigham, one of the founders of the American Psychiatric Association, became the first director. He had stature in the medical community and founded the American Journal of Insanity, which was printed on the site and became known later as the American Journal of Psychiatry. Brigham had written a book in 1835, which contained his theory that, “certain religious beliefs and

Past Issues 25 Years Ago June 7, 1989 The Clinton Fire Department handled a total of 16 calls during May. Of the 16 calls, nine were medical emergencies, with the other calls including a person locked out of their home, smoke from a popcorn machine and a motor vehicle accident. Michael Marko has been selected as a summer scientific research assistant by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research. He will serve as an apprentice to Herbert Klumpe III at the Rome Air Development Center. About 240 people gathered at the Clinton Central High School to help celebrate its designation as a top U.S. secondary school. Alison Ferris, Alisa Marko, Jessica Pillsbury and Lindsay Tangel will join with six other selected MunsonWilliams-Proctor School of Dance students in a performance in Albany. 50 Years Ago June 4, 1964 Opposition to the cable television in Clinton was heard by the Village board on Thursday evening. No action could be taken as only the mayor and Howard Berg were present. If a decision is made in favor of cable, construction would start in June. Albert Alter, member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, placed a wreath at the foot of the memorial in the Village park in tribute to those who died in the service of their country. Students arrived at the High School for the sports events held during Maroon and White weekend. Wheelbarrows were used in races while speedier scooters and automobiles were just functional transportation. Quotes on preliminary demonstration brushing and inspection of the Clinton sewer lines have been received by the Village. The work proposed will be a cleaning and sealing operation designed to stop surface water from getting into the lines.

75 Years ago June 8, 1939 The outbreak of smallpox in three widely separated localities in New York is causing considerable alarm, and rigid preventative measures are being taken by authorities to check the spread of the disease. While the college boys are to have their chance among the rulers of men, married women will be restricted— except in the home where they always rule them. Twenty states are considering proposals to prohibit the employment of wives in government service, and four states already have enacted such bans. At the regular monthly meeting of the Village Board, Claus Beck was selected to succeed Fred Doyle as the chief of police. R.H. Brown, Sanford Avenue, announced this week the start of the Brownie Rug Cleaning Company. By means of the most scientific electrical equipment, he offers to clean and revitalize rugs and carpets. 100 Years Ago June 3, 1914 It is stated that the trolley officials are thinking of abolishing the smoking compartment on the Clinton cars to provide more room for passengers. This would be an unpopular move for many Clinton patrons of the line. The village trustees have decided to stop the automobile speeding through the Village, and hereafter offenders, whether residents or non-residents, will be fined if they exceed the speed limit of 15 miles per hour. A horse belonging to Henry Jelliff of Utica Street was seriously injured by the breaking of one of its legs while plowing at the Jelliff home Monday. A handsome new gavel was presented to Clinton Masonic Lodge on Monday evening by a former member of the Lodge, W.H. Wilson, now master of a lodge in New York City.

Image of “Old Main” facade via Flickr/ mrsmecomber practices were extremely dangerous to one’s mental health,” according to the spring 2014 issue of New York Archives, the journal of the Archives Partnership Trust. The book caused Brigham to be accused of heresy and non-belief due to his thoughts on religion. In general, social conditions at that time were held to be causes of insanity, not biological issues. Brigham and others felt that too much stress and strain on the brain could cause derangement and injury that would affect one’s feelings, habits and affections. The solution then was to provide a quiet place and a calm environment to allow the patient to restore his health. Some examples of these excitements, which caused mental stress, were business failures, loss of property, and emotional distress such as romantic disappointments. Physical problems such as head injuries and spousal abuse also were causes of some people’s insanity. Religion seemed to lead Brigham’s list of causes. In the 1820s and 1830s, this area, sometimes called the “Burned-Over District,” saw long religious meetings and revivals that took over small villages for several days or weeks. Nightly preaching and Bible study plus prayer was supposed to awaken attendees to evangelism

and renewed fervor for one's religion. To Brigham, these meetings were an example of the kind of excitement that could harm the brain. It was thought that the patients’ condition was connected to the mental and physical stresses of these practices. An example was a patient who, after hearing a Calvinist minister describe that a part of mankind was doomed to eternal damnation, attempted suicide, but survived. While many patients were treated and were released, others stayed for years without showing much improvement. Superintendent Brigham died in 1849. The institution continued until 1978, when patients were moved to other facilities. Let’s turn now to the imposing structure, which was the first publiclyfunded institution for the treatment of mental disorders. From Court Street, a long driveway leads to the columned facade that fronts the huge building. It is 550 feet long and the central portico is 120 feet long. It has six doric columns of New York limestone 48 feet high and eight feet in diameter at the base. The designer of the building was architect William Clarke. His masterpiece is considered a shining example of the Greek Revival architecture of that period. Architectural historian Henry Russell Hitchcock commented, “No European public edifice has a grander Greek Doric portico than that which dominates the tremendous four-story front block.” This is from Hitchcock’s “Architecture: Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries.” As an indication of the size of the institution, a listing of accommodations in 1850 had 380 single rooms, 20 dormitories accommodating 5 to 20 persons, 16 parlors or day rooms, 12 SCENE, page 14

Letters From the Chief: Seat Belts By Daniel J. English Chief of Police, KPD

irst, I want to thank The Courier and the community for allowing me the opportunity to provide information on safety-related topics for our residents in Kirkland. Too often I find that our residents, in their daily hustle and bustle, are not in touch with the ever-changing laws that evolve on the federal, state, and local levels. These topics are so important to keeping our Town’s people and their families safe. When officers are out on the street and a motorist receives a ticket, the person receiving the ticket usually makes a comment like, “Isn’t there anything better you could be doing, like catching a burglar or drug dealer, than giving me a ticket?” Tickets are given to improve your safety and the safety of those around you. I want to address my information towards seat belt compliance and “Click It or Ticket,” which is improving the safety of our roads and reducing fatalities and injuries. The weeks of May 19 to June 1, 2014, saw the New York State “Click It or Ticket” seat belt compliance initiative. According to the governor’s traffic safety committee, we are at 90 percent compliance in the state for usage of seat belts. This has shown a direct benefit of saving lives. Locally, when we respond to accidents in the Town of Kirkland, the Police and Fire Departments pull up to see vehicles that are mangled with airbag deployment. When we identify the persons involved, the ones using

Illustration by Bernie Freytag the seat belts often are up walking around and not injured. They may have bruising and small lacerations, but the seat belts and airbags work, and the message is getting out there by education, training, and unfortunately, traffic tickets for those that are slow to adopt the trend. I—after 30 plus years of police work and traffic enforcement—remember the time when seat belts were not required. When the law changed in 1984, there was a period of grumbling about wearing the seat belts and that it was safer not to wear one. My children grew up with seat belts and were my biggest advocates for change. They reminded me regularly I

Library Notes Attainable Summer Vacations By Meghan Milligan, Librarian - Adult Programs, Kirkland Town Library The season of travel and vacation is nearly upon us! Time for planes, passports, and currency exchanges. But do you ever feel like you need a vacation from your vacation when you return home? Take a week to travel and then need a week to recover? Perhaps you can find some of the same benefits of faraway travel (food, family, fun, relaxation) a little closer to home; think short drives, day trips, and staycations. The library can provide you with more than just paperback fiction to read at the beach or in a hammock (though we encourage that and have lots of choices!). We also have many resources for those of you planning short trips, and those of you looking to take time off and stay home. Perhaps you want to get out of Central New York for a few days. A short road trip might be for you. Try “Scenic Driving: New England,” by Stewart M. Green (917.404 GRE). It includes 28 itineraries for trips ranging from 20 miles to 125 miles, along with tips about what to see and eat, and where to stay along the way. If you want more sleeping options, try “The Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfasts,” by Pamela Lanier (647.947 LAN), which lists over 4,500 B&Bs, inns, and guesthouses. For New York City trips, try Frommer’s “Memorable Walks in New York” (917.471 WOL), which offers 12 walking tours through NYC’s most interesting neighborhoods. If you’re bringing the kids, try Fodor’s “Around New York City with Kids: 68 Great Things to Do Together” (917.471 BAI) with tips and ideas galore. Perhaps even a few days away from home is too many, you want to be back in time for dinner! You might take a day trip. A day trip to the Adirondacks is a classic outing and we have plenty of books to help you plan your trip: “FiveStar Trails in the Adirondacks: A Guide to the Most Beautiful Hikes,” by Tim Starmer (917.475 STA), “Hiking the Adirondacks: A Guide to 42 of the Best Hiking Adventures in New York’s

Adirondacks,” by Lisa Densmore (917.475 DEN), or “The Adirondack Book,” by Annie Stoltie and Elizabeth Folwell (917.475 STO). These guides can help you plan your hike, activities and more. And if you do make it to the Adirondacks this summer, don’t forget to borrow the library’s discounted pass to the Adirondack Museum. If you’re looking for a weirder day trip, check out “Curiosities of Central New York,” by Melanie Zimmer (974.1 ZIM). This one isn’t written as a travel book per se, but it contains lots of odd local places like the world’s smallest church (in Oneida) and North America’s only Tibetan monastery (in Ithaca). There’s also “Shadows of the Western Door: Haunted Sites and Ancient Mysteries of Upstate New York,” by Mason Winfield (133.1 WIN). It’s another non-travel book, but it’s full of creepy stories and local haunts. Perhaps you don’t want to leave home at all. So how do you take time off, stay home, and make it special? Throw a party just for fun, make a new meal, or play some games at home. For parties and food, try Real Simple’s “Celebrations: Easy Entertaining for Every Occasion” (642.4 RAI). It emphasizes stressfree gatherings and offers ideas from set up to cleanup. There’s also “Simple Soirees: Seasonal Menus for Sensational Dinner Parties,” by Peggy Knickerbocker (642.4 KNI), which features seven beautiful summer menus. The title “Wine, Food and Friends,” by Karen MacNeil (642.4 MAC), really says it all: Hello, summer! For games, try “The Treasury of Family Games: Hundreds of Fun Games for All Ages--Complete with Rules and Strategies,” by Jim Glenn and Carey Denton (Q 793 GLE). Included are games for inside and outside, and even for parties. Whether your summer agenda involves elaborate vacations, foreign destinations, short drives, day trips, or staycations, the KTL has information to help you plan. Happy travels!

Cerebral Palsy Exhibit Breaks Barriers at KAC

Visitors gather at a reception at the KAC on the night of Wednesday, June 4. Written and Photographed by John Howard

n display at the Kirkland Art Center is one of the most dynamic exhibits to be featured in the main gallery all season. “Pieces of Heart” returns with an impressive collection of thought-provoking works by members of the Upstate Cerebral Palsy (UCP) community. Through the use of new techniques and technologies, artists normally restricted in their hand movements are able to create works in sculpture, acrylics, watercolor and textiles. In 2011, two programs known as the Studio Art Learning Program and the Artists Realization Technologies (A.R.T.) were introduced to allow inividuals a creative outlet. This is the third year that UCP has showcased its artists at the KAC. With a disorder like cerebral palsy, each individual’s process is different. Staff at UCP work with each artist to find a solution that accommodates their vision, whether it's a tracking system to a more hands-on approach where artists communicate with personal trackers, determining which brush strokes will be taken. Painting studios have been set up at three of the UCP locations. “It’s like I’m the paintbrush for the individual,” said Melinda Karastury, who works hands-on as an artwork tracker with the artists. “I take myself out of the equation and let the individual choose through ‘yes’ and ‘no’ responses to figure out what they want to do on the canvas. … Everything is in their hands, we’re just facilitating as their paintbrush.” It isn’t an expensive program to implement and Karastury insisted that its effects are lasting. “Everything is in their hands,” said Karastury. Works created by the artists on

display at the KAC were all customframed by Victor Lenuzza. Along with Karastury and Susan Macrina, Lenuzza helped curate the show, which will run through the summer and into the fall. Like painting, the process of throwing clay is just as collaborative. “We have hands-on students where we actually become their hands,” said Vartan Poghosian, a pottery instructor at UCP. “Students, for instance, might hold your hands and your fingers— your hands become their hands. “ New to the program this year is the ability for some artists to sell their work to benefit both the artist and the organization without affecting Medicaid individuals' benefits. “This program is helping with community,” said Karasty. “We really want to branch out to the community, raise awareness, and showcase our artists, because that’s what’s most important.” A reception was held for the show on June 4. Many of the contributing artists attended and posed for pictures alongside their work. Since its inception, the administration said that the program is “blossoming,” with some of the artists resuming full control of the paintbrush to create abstract and solo works of their own. “We’re trying out new artists all the time,” said Macrina. “We kind of branch out and let them experience whatever they want to.” “Pieces of Heart” is open to the public and on display through June 20, when it will travel to other galleries in the area.

Clinton High School Hosts Battle of the Bands

linton High School held a Battle of the Bands competition on Thursday, June 5, in the High School gym. A total of four groups varying in size and style took to the sonic arena to showcase their talents, and compete for the title of best band. The School’s Model UN presented the event. Outgoing President Sophia Atik introduced the bands. Junior Amara Rojo, who helped sell tickets at the event, will take over the reins of the organization next year. Opening the show was a band simply titled Jake, Kayla and Allie. The trio took home such honors as best harmony and best hair. Things heated up when Red Cream Soda Inc took control of the amps. The tricked out, Jack White-influenced four-piece lead by Brian Oehlsen played hits by the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, and Green Day, and featured prize-worthy stage thrashing from guitarist Evan Whightman. Oehlsen went on to receive the impromptu sportsmanship award when he lent his guitar to a fellow band after a string break. A.J. Giaccio, of New Hartford, went on to slow things down, offering both originals and covers from a solo acoustic perspective. If there were a charmer award, A.J. would have received it. A highlight of his performance included a song titled DIRECTOR (continued from page 1) Over the past few weeks, the KAC has been interviewing candidates and there are still more interviews to be done. Both the Board and Murtagh have noted that special care and attention is being paid to the decision, as it will

“The Thaw,” which he told listeners he wrote immediately after seeing Disney’s “Frozen.” “This is a song about a girl,” the performer announced. “It didn’t work out.” Last up was Rex Graves, the largest and tightest act of the day. The group featured Firestar Gomez on vocals, Sam Olsen and Noah Morgan Jr. on guitar, Alex Dobrzenski on bass, and Ben Elgren on drums. Their set included five songs, covering Coldplay, Weezer and Jack Johnson, as well as an impressive mastery of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Snow (Hey Oh).” The judging podium was handled by High School teachers Kathleen Glickman, Amie Johnson, Michael Stanto, and Señor Matthew Shearin. Each judge’s vote counted for 20 percent of the overall tally. A remaining 20 percent was left up to the audience, which consisted of fellow students and parents, who submitted ballots. First place went to Rex Graves; second went to Red Cream Soda Inc. Both bands earned a headlining spot at the KAC Run and Walk awards ceremony. Additionally, the members of Rex Graves were awarded gift certificates to Bonomo’s Dari Cream and Alteri’s Restaurant, and Red Cream Soda Inc was awarded a gift certificate to All Season’s Cafe on College Street. have a significant impact on the success and brand of the KAC moving forward. “Our entire Board of Directors is taking part at various stages in the hiring process,” added Matt. “We're excited and optimistic about the choices within our pool of candidates, but we have no deadline as to when the final selection must be made.”

By Michael R. Babcock Utica is the Gateway to the Adirondacks, so it makes sense to drive up north and enjoy the amazing scenery en route to the mountains. Beyond Deerfield Hill the elevation increases as the foothills appear. The air is clear, the views are stunning, and the atmosphere is peaceful. You'll feel the difference driving through Barneveld, Remsen and Alder Creek on Rt. 28 to Forestport. The bridge over Kayuta Lake and the Black River provides gorgeous views on both sides. One of the nicest things about the drive north is— nothing. Not a lot of distractions, and most of the advertising invites you to eat, drink, be merry, and rest. A recent cartoon described a family's ride in the country to find serenity, and the kids said they couldn't find an app for that on their smart phones. So the parent replied, “You have to turn off your phone to find it.” After White Lake and Otter Lake, there aren't many towns until Thendara just south of Old Forge. A little before Thendara, a parking area on the right leads to a leisurely hike to Grass Pond. The trailhead—across Rt. 28—also leads to further destinations, but Grass Pond is an easy 3-mile round trip. You'll know you're in the mountains pretty quickly as the first 1/10 mile is pretty steep. Then it levels off to gentle ups and downs for the remainder. Grass Pond is exactly what it says, a grassy pond. We forgot to approach quietly, and scared a Great Blue Heron, a lovely sighting. Tranquility and serenity are definitely available here, for free. Little trails near the shore are great for exploring, or just sit on a log and do nothing but listen. If you plan to hike during mid-June,

beware of black flies—the plague of the Adirondacks and probably the only negative. Puny, pervasive and persistent, they will find you and torture you. Bring some bug spray. Now that you're hungry, Old Forge has a wide variety of restaurants. Tony Harper's Pizza and Clam Shack is popular with bikers, so it must be good. We devoured a tasty pizza sitting on the shore of Old Forge Pond. The Pied Piper, just before Water Safari on the right, is another great spot to grab a meal or snack and enjoy the water's edge. Strolling through the village, there are all kinds of shops for souvenirs, real estate, candy, and clothing. A few minutes in Old Forge Hardware could easily expand to an hour. A new addition to Old Forge is Montezuma Winery, a satellite site from their Finger Lakes location. Most of their wines tend toward the sweeter side, but they have many to choose from and taste. Onward to Inlet for the adventurous! The road is windy and bumpy but worthwhile to see the lakes and mountains. Stop at Northern Lights for ice cream and walk down to the shore of Fourth Lake. Consider going further north if you have the time. Fewer towns and people with incredible scenery and serenity.

detention basins and stormwater retrofits to reduce flooding in the Village. The total cost of the project is $500,000. In the Oriskany Creek, a total of $300,000 will be spent, $100,000 of which will come from the county. Here, work will be done to re-stabilize streambanks. Picente and Lewis stood before the edge of the Oriskany Creek on Cleveland Place to deliver the message. Also in attendance were County Representatives George Joseph, Chad Davis and Colin Idzi, as well as Town Supervisor Bob Meelan, Highway Superintendent Jon Scott, and representatives from the Town of New Hartford. For resident William Waldron, who has lived on Cleveland Place for 14 years and whose house borders the creek, any news that wasn’t “to be determined” came as a relief. “Our house was built in ‘58 and 50 feet has gone to the creek,” said Waldron. “The last two years have been the worst, and last June was the kicker.” Picente called the fund allocation “a start” in alleviating the ongoing flooding issues in Kirkland and surrounding areas, a result of

The St. Mary’s Brook work is the larger of the two Kirkland projects. $225,000 has been allocated to install

continuous neglect for the Oriskany Creek by the state. The money for flood mitigation is coming out of the county’s fund balance, which often draws controversy. Picente defended the move, explaining that the reason fund balances exist “is

so that we can alleviate problems that occur.” “We have to use our resources and work with the towns,” said Picente. “That’s what this is about.”

Farmers' Market Season Kicks Off on Green

THE CLINTON COURIER

Trike-a-thon Raises Funds for Parent With Cancer

Mae Herringshaw munches on spinach in front of Common Thread Farm’s booth.

Kids ride to raise funds at the CELC bike path at Hamilton College. Written and Photographed by John Howard endors at the Clinton Farmer’s Market are slowly filling up every nook and cranny of the Village Green. This season’s market kicked off last week with more vendors, more variety and plenty of attendance to support it. “Each year we have been adding to the market … we’ve added about 20 vendors recently, mostly crafts,” said Ferris Betrus Jr., executive vice president of the Clinton Chamber. “It was a fantastic first day.” Since last season, as many as 300 new vendors inquired about participating. That number was paired down for spacing reasons. Despite a concern about congestion in the center of the Village, parking last Thursday did not appear to be an issue. According to Betrus Jr., at the height of the season in July and August, there will be as many as 75 vendors on the Green, offering anything from jams and jellies, to produce, to paintings. Many of the vendors, like Mark Weiss of Fan’s Flower Farm, have only been coming to the market for a couple years, a direct result of an effort to expand the market’s offerings. “It’s a lot of work for the business we do each week,” said Weiss in front of his potted flower display, one of the largest exhibits at the event. “We still think it’s worth coming to, though.” Common Thread Farm, who participates in the Fayetteville and Hamilton Farmers Markets in Madison, is another recent addition, offering spinach, kale, carrots and other fresh ingredients from its Madison location. Farm apprentices Stephanie Joyce and Gabe Burford are manning the booth in its sophomore RUN WALK (continued from page 1) Walk kicked off early in the day this year, stretching from 11 a.m. until well past a 7 p.m. award ceremony when Clinton High School Battle of the Bands' winners took the stage on the Gazebo. Community members gathered at the Green all day leading up the big

year on the Green. Gourmet bacon smoker Mike Champagne spent opening day tutoring his daughter, Emily, who will operate their booth this summer. With most of his business in the local farmers' market scene, Champagne likes the Clinton Farmers' Market for the variety of vendors it attracts. “I had someone come up to me and ask if they thought they could sell handmade furniture here,” said Champagne. “I was like, ‘Sure. I think you would fit in fine.’” Veteran sales people didn’t seem to mind the extra competition. Rosemary Koukol, of Rosemary’s Thyme in New Hartford, has been selling at Clinton’s market since 1998. She saw plenty of foot traffic at her spot north end of the Green. “I love the Village setting … the fact that it’s on the Green,” said Koukol. “It’s well-organized and the people are just wonderful.” With vendor space quickly approaching capacity, Betrus Jr. hopes to expand its attractions even further. As the season progresses, he hopes to add craft demos in things like steam wood bending from a Sauquoit merchant, as well as presentations from local vendors like Clinton Pottery and The Two Ewes Yarn and Fiber. “People want to feel a connection to where their food is grown and to the people who produce it," said Betrus Jr. “Besides, it is great fun to shop.” The Clinton Farmers' Market is presented by the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, Mang Insurance Agency, and LutheranCare. It is open Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Village Green through October 9. race, thanks to the KAC dance recital showcase, local food vendors, live music, and the now kid-famous Dragon Run presented by Jonathan Woodward and the team at Clinton Pottery. Shortly after its completion, and even while it was still finishing up, race organizers noted their appreciation for the community’s support. For full results of the 5K Run and Walk see page 5.

he Clinton Early Learning Center (CELC) held a four-day Trike-a-thon to raise funds for Deb Hooks-Klar, a former parent of the center who is battling leukemia. Heidi Griffith, a toddler teacher at CELC, headed the event. Parents collected pledges and children rode tricycles around the center’s bike path at Hamilton College. “The kids are not only [Hamilton College] faculty and staff children, a lot of them are just community

children,” said Sue Winkler, a fellow toddler teacher. “It was very cute. They all wore matching orange shirts.” Hooks-Klar has been involved with the CELC since 2009 with her sons Jonathan and Dominic. She was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Nearly $1,000 was raised in the Trike-a-thon effort. Hooks-Klar is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Funds were donated to offset the medical costs.

Fire Department's Cruise In and Barbecue Draws Huge Crowds

Photo by John Howard Volunteers serve hundreds of guests chicken barbecue dinners at the Fire Department’s 3rd annual Cruise In. By Staff

hen the grill opened for business, a line of hungry customers was already stretched as far back as Dawn Marie’s shop from the firehouse on the closed-off West Park Row. Anyone with eyes could see that the 3rd Annual Clinton Fire Department Cruise In was a big success. “We have enough to at least feed these people,” said Fire Chief Bill Huther, pointing to the line. “We made the decision on Wednesday to order more food.” Parallel to the line leading up to the firehouse, a barbecue pit the length of a semi-truck had been assembled, throwing smoke and fragrances into the waiting crowd. Brooks’ House of BBQ provided the temptation. Food ticket sales began at 11 a.m. By 12:30 p.m., all the ribs had been accounted for. Still the line stretched on. The Chief credited the “bigger and better” Cruise In to the sunshine. Sunday saw sun all day long and temperatures in the mid-80s. The weather not only got people out to the event but kept them there to linger by the hot rods on display. West Park Row and the Village Green hosted more than 100 vintage, apparatus and muscle cars—another

improvement from last year’s event, which saw closer to 90. While some aimed to sell their vehicles, most were just there for show and tell. Families wandering through saw everything from Ken Sheets’ ‘53 Buick which “has been in the family for about 53 years,” to a 1925 Model T Depot Hack, provided by Duane Isenberg. “I just heard about this on Saturday, and came up from Remsen,” said Isenberg, sitting in his shaded spot on the Green. “It’s a nice event.” Also on display were some unexpected spectacles, like a vintage Divco Crane Dairy Co. milk truck and ‘66 teal green station wagon, provided by Dustin Zajac of Williams Street. “It’s not your typical muscle car, it’s an everyday use vehicle,” said Zajac, who collects cars. “I love Chryslers, specifically. … These everyday living cars are historical in a different way.” Hundreds of community members left the event with full stomachs and a renewed appreciation for automobile craftsmanship. Most grateful, though, were the men and women throwing the event. “The community always comes out and supports us,” said Chief Huther. “We really appreciate it.”

SYMPHONY (continued from page 1) Changes in the Utica Symphony, which Schneider was formerly affiliated with as well, formed a trend to a more modern repertoire of music. At the meeting, several voices likened it to pops orchestra. More simply put, as Moore might say, the symphony doesn’t have “the luster” it once did. The shift left a void in the local classical music scene. Audiences had to find other offerings and the change left as many as 40 trained local artists with no outlet to express themselves. The Clinton symphony would aim to fulfill the unmet needs, both for audiences, as well as professionallytrained players living in the area. “We would like to think that the motivation is entirely an aesthetic one, and most of it is,” said Moore. “The players have no place to play. But that’s not a bad motive, you know?” The Clinton orchestra would be a union organization. Schneider would use his knowledge and connections to both develop a program and attract talent. Location is key. At the center of the intention is the Clinton Central School Performing Arts Center. In stage size, technical capabilities, and acoustics, the state-of-the-art facility antiquates other area performance spaces, including, said Moore, the Stanley Theater. At the meeting, Schneider proposed a sample season to give attendees an idea of budget. Four shows would cost $75,000. That number could drop with a negotiated long-term union contract, he said. Moore hopes to capitalize on the influx of people coming into the Mohawk Valley for the Utica nanotechnology movement to fill the room of the 900seat auditorium on a regular basis. The cost of doing business comes with added benefits that aren’t necessarily fiscal. With tactics like free, educational concerts, Schneider thinks that having a professional symphonic presence so close to students will inspire an interest in the arts, which could have lasting auxiliary effects to the symphonic program itself. “One of the most important things we will do is youth concerts,” said Schneider, citing similar programs within his other symphonies. “The kids get really involved. It’s amazing how they react to the concerts … It also helps with school band recruitment.” According to Moore and Schneider, the School has so far been enthusiastic about the idea. While fundraising will prove to be the lifeblood of the movement, organizers recognize that it is only one piece of the puzzle. With such a large ensemble, each player with a conflicting schedule, there’s a need for significant and constant coordination. There is paperwork and planning. Organizers are considering hiring an executive secretary to handle the day-to-day responsibilities. Other elements are very much up in the air at this point, like the name of the symphony (Should “Clinton” be in the title or should it be more broad?), and what they should charge for tickets ($5 or $50?). The first steps have been taken in order to make this dream a reality. Following the KAC meeting, the group decided to pursue an opening season schedule of two performances. They hope to feature a show this coming winter during the Shopper’s Stroll weekend. “We don’t know what the future holds,” said Moore. “If these concerts go well, and there seems to some thrust, then we will proceed.” While he openly admits that he brings some bias to the conversation as a longtime resident of the Village, Moore insisted that Clinton offers the perfect environment for a symphony orchestra, and it was worth at least a try. “People whom I have spoken with are either passionately for the whole idea or passionately against the whole idea,” said Moore. “But I would hate to see symphonic music die in this area.”

SCENE (continued from page 3) dining rooms, 24 bathing rooms, 24 closets and 24 water closets. Hot air wood-burning furnaces provided heat, and ventilators kept air circulating. Efforts to save “Old Main” and make it useful again have been a goal of the Greater Utica Landmarks Society for years. The state has floated several plans but funds never seem available. The Landmark Society will hold tours this summer to view this 170year old building in West Utica. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it could be fully used again for some government functions? CHIEF (continued from page 3) was not wearing it enough. Now, I find that I don’t even put the car in gear until I buckle up. My job does require I get in and out of the car fast. I have found that is not a good excuse for not wearing my seat belt. New York State Seat-Belt Law 1229 is a “primary enforcement law,” meaning that you can be stopped just for not having your seat belt on. The excuse of “I am just going to store or down the street and don’t need it” doesn’t cut it. Most accidents occur within 3 to 5 miles from your home. I would like to remind all our Town residents that even the police are required by their department to use seat belts. It is true that the state law does exempt police, fire, and ambulances, as well as taxis, liveries, and buses. The Kirkland Police joins with all other police agencies that have found their departments need mandatory seat belt use policies, to show we also believe in the benefit of seat belts. More information on seat belt laws is available on the governor’s traffic safety website (http://safeny.ny.gov/). Please remember, the police officer that stops you for not having your seatbelt on is doing his job. It is a law and he is hired to enforce it. That is what he is paid to do. He is keeping you, and others on the road, safe. Daniel English is chief of police for the Kirkland Police Department with over 30 years of experience with community law enforcement. “Notes From the Chief ” is a monthly column aimed at offering insight on local legal issues, laws and public safety.

Violet “Whit” Gosline Violet Whaley (Whitford) Gosline, 89, of Clinton, died peacefully on Saturday, May 31, 2014 with her loving family at her side. Born in Kenyon, R.I., on January 22, 1925, Violet was the third daughter (Natalie, Ruth, Violet) of the late Nathaniel and Mabel (Browning) Whitford. Her parents named her Violet after the Rhode Island state flower, but most of her friends and family affectionately called her “Whit.” Whit graduated from Westerly High School, in Westerly, R.I., and received her nursing training and RN from Methodist Episcopal Hospital in Brooklyn. While at Methodist Hospital, she became president of student council and graduated second in her class, eventually becoming night supervisor. Whit was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Ernest Gosline. They were married on January 11, 1948, in Brooklyn. She is survived by her 3 children, Scott (and Susan), of Leesburg, Virginia, Peter (and Connie), of Peterborough, New Hampshire, and Susan (and John) Sector, of Sand Lake, N.Y.; 9 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. Whit adored her husband Ernie,

whom she met as an Intern when they were both at Methodist Hospital. They spent 65 glorious years at each other’s side. During this time, they traveled extensively, to many parts of the world. Their favorite destination was Hawaii, and they returned with many memories created there. Whit had a special talent of bringing out the best in people, encouraging them to realize their full potential. She was very comfortable around others, and had a special knack for story telling. She surrounded herself with family, friends, and acquaintances, who loved her dearly. She was devoted to her family, and for many years she wrote weekly letters to each of her grown children. Whit was very active in the community, and over the years, volunteered on a number of Boards and community organizations. She skied, played tennis, and at one point she organized a dancercise class for young mothers at Kirkland Art Center. She was active in both bridge and whist clubs locally, and subsequently developed a special circle of friends who still enjoy being with each other today. Whit had an active spiritual life, and was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Utica, for many years. It is the wish of the family that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made in memory of Whit Gosline, to Westminster Presbyterian Church, 714 Washington Street, Utica, NY 13502, to the Siegenthaler Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, 4277 Middle Settlement Rd.

One Stroke Wins It

Clinton varsity wins league championship, one swing under Herkimer

THE CLINTON COURIER

Boys and Girls Track and Field Compete at States By Staff

Sophomore Tim Scoones eyes his line on the 11th green of the Rome Country Club. By John Howard

linton looked strong from the shotgun start of last Wednesday’s tight CSC West boys varsity golf championship. Neither Tim Scoones nor Tyler Jury were letting par too far out of their sights, but the team’s final standing wouldn’t be clear until the end of the day. “We actually didn’t know until they were on their way back to Clinton,” said assistant coach Pat Monaghan. “The bus had to get back and I stayed back to get the results.” When he heard, Monaghan called the team and they celebrated in their seats during the commute. Clinton bested Herkimer by a single stroke, winning 166-167. Little Falls was only two strokes behind that at 169. Going into the event, which was held at Rome Country Club, Herkimer and Little Falls were the unofficial favorites. The Warriors overcame the odds by playing steady and confident, with no particular holes standing out. “I figured we would be in the top four teams there,” said head coach Bill Owens. “But that’s just going off of scores and records. You never know how the kids are going to play.” Owens said that many of the kids competing were unfamiliar with the club’s course, including the Warriors, who play their home games at Westmoreland Golf Club. Scoones, a sophomore, shot an 81 for the day. Two double-bogeys put his score up out of the 70s-range. Par for

the course is 72. Where Scoones struggled more early on, junior Jury struggled with some of the later holes. He shot an 85 and he said he was happy with performance. “I could have played better,” said Jury, who in his first three holes was scored at just one over par. “I had a couple of rough holes, but I got it back in the end.” Teams could qualify up to three athletes for the championship match— two for the team and one for individual events. Zane Monaghan, an eighth grader powerhouse on the course, also represented Clinton. He shot an 87. Scoones and Jury were named first team all-stars for the league. Out of six to make the season performancebased team, Scoones was third and Jury was fifth. Monaghan was just shy of qualifying. Following a section qualifier in May, Wednesday’s championship win wraps up the team’s competitive 2013-14 season. For the team and coaching staff alike, the winning season has become a whole lot more than numbers and record books. “It’s a pretty close-knit group of kids,” said Owens. “It’s a team that has matured throughout the season. They’ve just gotten better every day.” The entire roster of the young squad will return next season. The championship trophy will belong to the Warriors until next year. It will be kept and displayed in an area of their choosing.

epresentatives from both the girls and boys track team competed at the New York State Track and Field Championships last Thursday. Solid performances by seniors Hannah Shankman and Jack Yaworsky capped a record-breaking season for both squads. Shankman competed in the pole vault, where she achieved a height of 9 feet 6 inches. The jump brought her into a seven-way, fifth-place tie in the Division 2 competition. As The Courier previously reported, Shankman has been tapped to suit up for the Division 1 Binghamton University Bearcats next season. She will play soccer for the university’s team in the fall. Yaworsky ran the 3200-meter race for the Warriors. He finished in 9:46.73, landing him the eighth position on the podium, beating out runners from schools including Bayport-Blue Point, Spackenkill, Collegiate and East Rockaway. Earlier this season, Yaworsky set the school record in the event with a time of 9:47.46, a personal goal for him this season. Yaworsky will run cross country and track for Vassar College next year.

Bound for the Final Four

Varsity baseball journeys back to the state finals By John Howard

wenty-four hours after his team’s regional championship victory, head coach Tom Pfisterer was full of questions. Not about Susquehanna Valley Sabers, whom they beat 3-2 in the quarter finals, but about Schalmont, the 24-1 team the Warriors will face in the final four game on Saturday. “Who are they? Do they bunt a lot? How is their pitching?” Pfisterer said, thinking out loud. For better or worse, every week in the postseason is a clean slate. Clinton’s coaching staff and players have already moved on to the next challenge. Some called last Saturday’s win against Susquehanna Valley sloppy. Clinton didn’t have the hitting they’ve been used to all season long—a typical game would see the Warriors’ side of the scoreboard stretch into the double digits, even if their opponent wasn’t along for the ride. “We didn’t have the runs we

“I

Why the Mohawks?

t’s a team bonding thing to be honest with you, one that we all kind of do. Ian Foxton went with a mullet this year … Jon Hardy’s got zigzags in the back of his head. It’s like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ … I remember my sophomore year when Zach Lehman did ‘The George Costanza’ where he shaved a bald spot on the top of his head. It’s not something new this year ... It’s something to get the laughs. It’s something serious, but it kind of relaxes us a little bit when we see each other in the hallways at school. It’s just fun, that’s all that is.” –Catcher Andrew Taft on the Clinton varsity baseball team’s haircut tradition.

If anything, Clinton's pitching and fielding—while it may not impose the towering strength of the team’s collective batting average—have been consistent in responding to what’s happening at bat. With the score set at 3-2 early in the game, Clinton held off any further runs with Sabers runners on base in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Junior Jon Hardy, who pitched the Section III championship win singlehandedly the previous week, threw 6 1/3 innings on Saturday. Behind Hardy, first baseman Justin Jandke, center fielder Alex Dobrzenski, and third baseman Andrew Hobika, who relieved Hardy from the mound in the seventh inning, made crucial plays to keep the Sabers at bay. The team has done a fair share of

adapting at the plate, too. In an effort to avoid the intentional walk, catcher Andrew Taft has been moved from the cleanup position to leadoff. With the move came added responsibilities on base for the senior. After stealing second in the first inning, Taft made his way around the bases to score Clinton’s first run. The following two runs were scored after a Susquehanna Valley error on a fly ball from Hobika’s bat. Clinton is currently ranked eighth in the state in the Class B division. If they beat Schalmont, ranked third, they will go straight into a game for the title on the same day. The Clinton-Schalmont winner will play the winner of a earlier game where second-ranked Rye Neck will face off against first-ranked Livonia. For the seniors like Taft, Dobrzenski, Hobika, Jandke, Ian Foxton, and Lenny Ortiz, who make up a strong presence both on the field and in the dugout, a state title in their final year would be extra special. “I think it would be fantastic … not only for me but for my teammates,” said Taft. “The seniors have grown up since Little League together … For the younger kids, too, who may never experience a run like this again.” The Warriors came in second at States last year, falling to Fredonia. With a lot of pieces left to fall into place, Pfisterer is confident in his team. Going into the weekend, he said they are expecting nothing short of a first place finish. “We can play with any team on any day,” said Pfisterer. “But we’re going to have to play well this weekend, that’s for sure.” The Clinton Warriors will play the Schalmont Sabres in the Class B semifinal at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Binghamton University. The championship game will follow immediately after at 4 p.m.
