Delphi Falls park getting ready to open for visitors

By Jason Emerson Editor

Madison County has been working hard this year to get its newest county park, Delphi Falls, in Cazenovia, ready to open to the public before the end of this year — and the work has been steadily progressing.

The 60-acre property containing a two-tiered waterfall, located off Cardner Road, was acquired by the county on Jan. 2, 2018, thanks to the hard work of county officials and the generosity of local philanthropist Harold Jones, of Manlius. The land, owned by the Allen family since the 1960s, contains 60 acres, the waterfall, a

house and a barn. The falls, two-tiered with a higher and a lower falls, is accessible on foot up to the base of the lower falls.

“It easily rivals Chittenango Falls; we expect tens of thousands of people to enjoy this,” Brookfield Supervisor John Salka said at the time of the acquisition. Salka is chair of the county board’s Planning, Economic Development, Environmental and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee.

Because the land was privately owned, the county has been making numerous infrastructure changes and improvements to the land this year to make it accessible, safe and available for public visitation, according to Samantha Fields, Madison County

public information officer. The work has included building a small parking lot at the park entrance, creating a stone-dust pathway from the lot to the lower falls, adding signage and picnic tables.

“We are really excited at the county to allow people to enjoy something that the community in the area has known about but never seen,” Fields said. “Things progressing forward and we really are very happy with the way they are moving forward.”

Cazenovia Town Supervisor Bill Zupan said the county is currently looking for grants to help pay for future improvements to the site, including trails to the upper falls, safety fencing, a second park-

ing lot on the north side of the stream, and a bridge over the stream to allow access to the house and barn.

“I think it’s looking great,” Zupan said. “The highway department went in and cut lot of trees down — you can now stand at the lower falls and see the upper falls, which you couldn’t before. … It’s coming together slowly. Hopefully, we can get a grant to finish it up, and if we don’t it’ll be a slow process of expanding it a little bit every year.”

No date has been set for the park’s official opening to the public, although it is hoped it will be ready for a soft opening sometime in the fall.

Work preparing Delphi Falls Park for public use has occurred all year and is continuing. New trails have been put in, as well as picnic tables and other amenities for visitors.

Community, InterFaith Works help refugee family resettle to Caz

By J.B. McCampbell, Communications/Events Coordinator InterFaith Works of Central New York

The Othman family in front of the “Old Manse,” which the family is renting from the First Presbyterian Church. The Othmans have relocated to Cazenovia from Iraq with the assistance of multiple local organizations and individuals. hammed Ameen, and father, Rzgar Othman, carried boxes, while younger sisters Rinad and Iman scurried about amid the commotion. Rasan turns nine years old in late-September. When she does, she’ll enter school in Cazenovia and spend two months dreaming of the big day in her new home at the “Old Manse,” which the family is renting from the First Presbyterian Church located next door.

When asked why her ninth birthday was to be so grand, she simply said, “because we’re here.”

Scenes like the Othman fam-

ily resettlement in Cazenovia have drawn to a trickle around the U.S. because of the federal government’s severe limits on legal immigration and refugee entry into the United States. Even though the Administration set the number of refugees allowed entry nationwide at 45,000, the lowest since the 1980s, some experts expect the number to reach only about 20,000 by the end of the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

This impact is playing out closer to home: InterFaith Works of Central New York, which provided the truck and driver that helped

ship with InterFaith Works and was not a one-time event for the community-based initiative.

“This is the start of building a community here of new Americans,” she said, adding the group had spent a year educating and preparing the Cazenovia community by sponsoring public forums at the local library, the VFW and Cazenovia College. Former refugees spoke at the forums. “What we’re about is creating a sense of community,” Cargo explained as mattresses, furniture and other household items were carried up a staircase to the second-floor bedrooms.

During a break on moving day, Rzgar Othman expressed his appreciation for Cazenovia Welcomes Refugees and said InterFaith Works’ Center for New Americans was instrumental to his family’s resettlement, helping complete immigration documentation, find housing and secure employment.

In August, he was hired for a job in Cazenovia, only six minutes away from his new home.

“Everybody should be able to live in the home [country] they’re born in,” he said, “but what makes you be a refugee is the system and regime that work in those countries. Once you get a better chance for leaving and your kids being safe, [you come to] America. Yes, once they tell you you’re welcome to the United States and you can get into that great country, the greatest country in the world, you will be so proud.”

Cazenovia’s tranquil, small town pace of life evokes a time from another era. Big selling points are its small shops and historic buildings nestled alongside its namesake picturesque lake.

They’re not likely to change. But make no mistake, the people that comprise the tapestry of this Madison County community and call it home is growing.

It’s a process that’s transforming a community fueled by the welcoming spirit of a group of residents of different ages, faiths and business and professional backgrounds that banded together two years ago under “Cazenovia Welcomes Refugees.”

It’s a name that might seem out of place or even odd in an age of backpedaling federal immigration policies. Yet, on this warm day in late July, a dozen volunteers from the group helped move in a family whose journey to Cazenovia began in 2017 and thousands of miles away in Iraq, where the family’s father served as an interpreter for the U.S. Army.

The family was allowed entry to the U.S. on a special immigration visa for refugees who assisted the U.S. military.

“This is going to be the best birthday, ever,” Rasan Othman quipped as her mother, Ivan Mo-

load the vehicle in Syracuse for the Othman family, resettled just two refugees in July. During the same month, just one year ago, the agency resettled nearly 80 people.

“In these hard times for refugees all around the world, Cazenovia Welcomes Refugees has given hope to not only the Othman family, but to all of us who work with refugees,” said Beth Broadway, who is president and CEO of Syracuse-based InterFaith Works and a resident of Cazenovia.

“Seeing this community come together across faith traditions, civic organizations and educational institutions in such a powerful way has renewed our agency’s staff. CWR not only settled a family; they are moving the minds and hearts of a whole community towards compassion, service and openness. We look forward to many years of working together with this coalition and share the family’s appreciation for all involved,” said Broadway, who is also a member of the CWR coalition.

The move to the “Old Manse,” erected in 1806 and the former home for the church pastor, took place on a busy morning as First Presbyterian hosted a marriage ceremony and the village’s weekly farmers market attracted visitors across the street.

Caroline Cargo and Cindy Sutton are co-facilitators for Cazenovia Welcomes Refugees. According to Cargo, the Othman family’s move to the Manse was the result of months of planning, a partner-

Catherine Cummings Theatre – A cultural hub for Cazenovia

Cazenovia College’s Catherine Cummings Theatre has stood as a multipurpose facility in the heart of Cazenovia for over 100 years. Originating as a town hall before transitioning to an opera house, the theatre has welcomed generations of audiences with its many shows and presentations.

The Catherine Cummings Theatre showcases events throughout the year, ranging from musical productions, plays, distinguished lectures, cultural events, children’s theatre camps, movies and the annual Jazz-N-Caz event.

Renovus helps you take care of your energy expenses using solar power The energy landscape in Central New York is changing. Looking forward, folks are facing two choices: Stay with their utility company and face ever-escalating utility rates, and administrative headaches, or switch to something new.

This reality was clear to the folks who founded Renovus Solar in 2003. Even then, when solar and other renewable resources were breaking into the market, one could see the tides changing. Now, as we enter our 15th year doing business in New York State, our team is helping thousands of Central New York families take control of their energy expenses using solar power.

Where solar’s price used to be prohibitive, now we’re faced with record low project costs.

Customers used to be restricted to an on-site roof or ground-mounted arrays, now Renovus offers offsite community solar systems to anyone in CNY. The top players in the NYS solar market used to be multi-national energy conglomerates, now Renovus is the largest solar company in CNY with more than 70 local employees hailing from Horseheads to Manlius and everywhere in between.

We’re proud to have played a role in shifting power towards individuals who want to keep more of their money. We’re

even more proud that our steady growth has brought us to the doorsteps of the Cazenovia community.

Renovus’ dedication to every community it serves has been a tenant of its core values since day one. We host events across the state to connect with individuals and community groups, spread the gospel of energy independence and answer questions about solar. We see our role in customer’s lives as more than sales, installation and service. We want to be educators, partners and community advocates.

If you’re interested in learning more about Renovus, organizing a solar educational session in Cazenovia or exploring how you can use solar power to take back control of your energy, please let us know.

With staff stationed in Manlius, Cortland, Ithaca and the Southern Tier, we’re never far away.

If learning about solar power at your own pace is more attractive, head to RenovusSolar.com and check out our Solar Guide Series: a free suite of eBooks, webinars and articles that can help you become a solar pro in no time.

We’re excited to be a part of the energy revolution in Central New York, and we hope to hear from you soon!

2018 Our Town Cazenovia

A little bit of Cazenovia history...

Caz turns 225

Entries from the journal of Cazenovia founder John Lincklaen Compiled by Erica Barnes Contributor

The year 2018 marks the 225 anniversary of Cazenovia’s founding in 1793.

As part of the celebration, the Cazenovia Public Library is publishing a series of entries from John Lincklaen’s journal with notes by Helen Lincklaen Fairchild. This series chronicles Lincklaen’s exploration of the Cazenovia Tract in October 1792. It is written in the style of the time.

Friday, 5th October

I left Mr. Hovey’s (Gen. Benjamin Hovey came to what is now Oxford, in the autumn of 1790, built a log house on the present site of S.H. Farnham’s store, and named the place for his native town in Massachusetts.) after breakfast, having with me a guide who assisted in surveying the land which I am to see. I followed the Cayuga road for three miles, and thence directed my course West, following the South line of the Twenty Townships (or Governor’s Purchase). I found the land good along the line, with some hills to cross but not bad ones, and arable to the tops: the timber was beech, maple, basswood, white ash, chestnut, elm, and very little hemlock except along the brooks, of which I have crossed many.

At 4 o’clock in the afternoon I arrived at the South West corner of Township No. 13 (McDonough) which is the S.E. corner of the 15,000 acres of Watkins and Sacket. Thence I directed my course N.W., and after travelling a mile arrived at the bank of a brook where I encamped.

Saturday, 6th October, 1792

We set off at eight o’clock, travelling N.W. and at ten o’clock crossed the Cayuga road. At one o’clock we arrived at the S.W. corner of the 50,000 acres. During all the morning the land was generally good, some small hemlock swamps, the rest beech, maple, basswood and white ash, with no streams.

From the S.W. corner of the 50,000 acres our course was N.E., the land excellent and generally level. We encamped on the West side of Township No. 12 (Pharsalia).

Sunday, 7th October, 1792

We travelled N.W. At 10 o’clock we crossed the Hoksilic (Otselic) Creek, which runs S.W. At noon we came to another creek of considerable size; half a mile further on we reached the corner of Nos. 6 & 7, west line. All the morning the land was of the best quality- maple, basswood, cherry, ash, elm, & beech.

Crossing the creek, we found a mountain to be climbed, but the land is capable of cultivation from the base to the summit, and along the creek are some fine flats.

In the afternoon our course was N.E., the land hilly but of the best quality and with the best kinds of timber. We camped by a stream.

Monday, 8th October, 1792

After having made half a mile, we arrived at the East line of the Gore; thence we went N.W., the land always the same.

We came to the corner of Nos. 11 & 12.

The land throughout of the best, but hilly.

Tuesday, 9th October, 1792

At 11 o’clock we arrived at the N.E. corner of the 50,000-acre tract; during the morning the land was of the best, with much butternut timber; from the

corner our course was W.N.W. We arrived at evening on the Military Lands Line.

Wednesday, 10th October, 1792

na). Arrived at the north west corner of No. 9 (Sherburne) at the house of one Guttry (William Guthrie, from Litchfield, Conn., kept in 1793 on the place of this settlement the first tavern in the town, about two miles from the village of Bainbridge, on the farm now owned

by Philo Kirby) who has b e e n settled there for four months.

Our course was N.E. through the best kinds of lands. At 1 o’clock we came to the Canaseraga Creek; along the creek are black ash and red elm, s o m e beaver d a m s , fine meadow ground; beside the creek is a swamp where there are cyder (cedar), pine, balsam fir and hemlock. We encamped beside the creek.

ston.

Thursday, 11th October, 1792

Friday, 19th October, 1792

Our course was west through good land, near the line is a creek which seems to issue from the Road Township, and runs into No. 10 of the Military Lands; there is a mill seat near the line. We came to the Military Lands line at noon, thence travelled N.N.E.; arrived at the lake where we encamped. Situation superb, fine land.

Thursday, 18th October, 1792

Left Guttry’s by a road which leads to the Unadilla, arrived at evening at Edmin-

(Louis de Villars erected the first mill in Morris on Aldrich Creek. First settlement 1773).

Saturday, 20th October, 1792 Rested

Sunday, 21st October, 1792

Left DeVillars’, and arrived at Birch’s (By Van der Werken’s Mills. He erected the first mill in Oneonta) on Charlotte River.

Monday, 22nd October, 1792

Passed through Harpersfield and arrived at Esquire More’s.

Tuesday, 23rd October, 1792

Left More’s and came to the widow Horsebrock’s (Hasbrouck? Perhaps the present village of Hasbrouck in Fallsburgh, Sullivan Co., said to have been settled by Germans before the Revolution).

Wednesday, 24th October, 1792 Arrived at Ezopus.

Friday, 26th October, 1792 Arrived at Fishkill.

We traversed a part of No. 18 (Brookfield) and 17 (Pittsfield, Columbus), and arrived in the evening at Mr. DeVillars

Saturday, 27th October, 1792

Left with a chaloupe (a type of low, flat-bottomed boat) for New York.

Friday, 12th October, 1792

From the lake we travelled N.E. to the Genesee Road, through lands both good and bad, timber chiefly oak and poplar.

We came to the Canaseraga Creek, there are 5 German families settled on the creek, they are poor. On the other side of the creek is the Indian settlement. (Canaseraga, an ancient Tuscarora Village site, is 1 ¼ miles N.E. of Chittenango Village, where the Canaseraga Creek crosses the Seneca Turnpike.) We arrived at the house of John Denny (an Indian who kept there the first tavern, and built the first frame house in 1800); no bread, nor meat.

Saturday, 13th October, 1792 Detained by the rain.

Sunday, 14th October, 1792

Left by a path which brought us back to the little Lake, crossing good lands.

Encamped at night at the North line of No. 1 (Nelson).

We at Open Door are glad to be part of our community here in Central New York.

We are a church of not so perfect people who choose to speak, love and live the perfect Word of God.

Monday, 15th October, 1792

Rain and fog all day-the somber weather prevented our directing our course.

Tuesday, 16th October, 1792

Followed the Line which crosses No. 1 (Nelson) from north to south, land bad, in general swampy, the rest hemlock, beech, birch, and some maple, plenty of creeks, this Line I imagine runs through the dividing waters of the Canaseraga Creek and Chenango Rivers- at four o’clock we came to the S.W. corner.

Wednesday, 17th October, 1792

We traversed No. 5 (Lebanon) from the north west to the south east, lands good; at noon we reached the Chenango River; we went down the River, passing by the north east corner of No. 8 (Smyr-

caz-ual conversations What is your favorite thing to do in Cazenovia?

Laurie Hunt

Barbara Houghton

“I like shopping at the local stores and supporting the local businesses.”

“I just love the community environment, our community events and going to the lake. I just love our sense of community. [Coming together] is our theme, and that’s why I love Caz.”

Mckenzie Houseman

“Shopping at the local stores of course, because I’m a shopper. I love all the community events like Block Fest and the Christmas Walk.”

Erica Gilmore

“My favorite thing to do in Caz is the Block Fest.”

Cazenovia Artisans is always worth a visit Cazenovia Artisans, located in the heart of the lovely Village of Cazenovia, is home to a unique group of talented artists and artisans. Cazenovia Artisans is a genuine cooperative, where members sell their work and share in all the work and tasks of running a shop that is open every day of the week year round.

The cooperative has been going strong for more than 15 years. In 2002, a small group of local artists was looking for a place to hang their collective hat when the word got out that a local landlord wanted to open a space that could incubate one or two small businesses. The small group approached the landlord, and then recruited more artists to come together and become a cooperatively operated gallery and shop.

Before they knew it, they had more than a dozen people ready to dive in. Luckily, many of them,

besides being talented artists and craftspeople, also had the skills necessary to build a successful new business: they knew how to keep books, do carpentry, merchandise, run advertising and so on. They opened on short notice in order to take advantage of the upcoming holiday season, and so the pressure was on. They met all the various challenges and opened for business on Nov. 1, 2002.

Fifteen-plus years later, the cooperative thrives. Members must be juried in order to join. This ensures both the quality and the variety of the arts in the shop. While members usually stay for years (one of the original founding members is still there), they do come and go, keeping the cooperative fresh and young.

There is much work to be done to keep the cooperative thriving.

• 104 acres • 4 miles of trails

Several standing committees do the work of advertising, physical plant, jurying, keeping the books and so on. But in addition to working together, they are also friends and collaborators. They gather together in the summer at members’ homes and help each other make beautiful things that they could not make on their own. There is a spirit of collegiality and friendliness running through the cooperative, most evident in the week before Christmas, when all hands are on deck and the shop is full to the brim with happy shoppers and happy artists.

The shop is full of beautiful, handcrafted items: beautifully turned wooden bowls; pottery in a variety of designs; hand blown glass; the work of several jewelers who work in different materials; wearables and fiber; paintings, pastels, collages, and multi-media wall art; furni-

ture; painted porcelain; and more.

The work on display is constantly changing, as members bring in new work. The cooperative also brings in Visiting Artists several times a year, so there is always something new to enjoy and appreciate.

Cazenovia Artisans is always

worth the visit. The work is beautiful and the members are helpful and interesting. The shop is full of wonderful gifts and gift wrapping is always complimentary. In your travels around Central New York, be sure to keep this gallery and shop on your itinerary.
