Critz Farms to host 40th anniversary celebration

C

BY KATE HILL STAFF WRITER

ritz Farms in Cazenovia will host a celebration on Saturday, July 5, from 12 to 9 p.m., to mark 40 years of family farming, innovative agritourism, and community engagement.

The free event will feature live music, a variety of food trucks, limited brewery releases, kids’ entertainment, giveaways, wagon rides with views of the farm fields and orchards, and cidery and brewery tours.

The tap room and gift shop will also be open to visitors.

First-generation farmers Matthew and Juanita Critz founded the farm in 1985 as a Christmas tree operation. It has since evolved into a multi-faceted agritourism institution known for its seasonal celebrations, handcrafted beverages, and commitment to local traditions.

The couple first expanded into agritourism with pumpkin patches and other small fruit, eventually adding a corn maze in 1999 and apple orchards in 2005.

In 2011, Harvest Moon Cidery was established, followed by the Critz Farm Brewing & Cider Company in 2015.

Today, the farm welcomes over 50,000 visitors annually, offering yearround attractions such as maple syrup weekends, U-pick blueberries, fall har-

vest celebrations, cut-your-own Christmas trees, and winter holiday traditions.

“When we started in 1985, our goal was to build something lasting, something that connected people to the land and to each other,” Matthew said in a press release announcing the anniversary celebration. “We poured our hearts into it, and watching it grow over 40 years, alongside our family and our incredible team, has been the greatest reward.”

Juanita added that every single person who works at the farm, from the fields to the tap room, is considered part of the Critz Farms family.

“Their dedication is absolutely vital to creating the memorable experiences our visitors cherish,” she said. “We are also grateful to the hundreds of thousands of people who have come to the farm over the years. Traditions really do start here.”

Critz Farms was recognized by the NYS Department of Economic Development as the NYS Agritourism Business of the Year in 2002 and the NYS Agricultural Society Business of the Year in 2018.

According to the press release, the farm not only contributes to the local economy and community fabric of Madison County and Central New York, but it also maintains a strong commitment to land preservation.

Cazenovia to host Towpath Quilt Guild’s biennial show

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

The Towpath Quilt Guild’s biennial quilt show will be held in Cazenovia on Friday, July 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

BY KATE HILL STAFF WRITER The Towpath Quilt Guild will present its biennial quilt show, “Along the Towpath,” on Friday, July 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Cazenovia High School gymnasium.

Admission is $8, and the public is welcome to attend.

The mission of the Fayettevillebased Towpath Quilt Guild is to “promote awareness and provide educational opportunities in the art of quilting.”

The guild’s 2025 show will feature approximately 150 quilts crafted by guild members, including an array of “challenge quilts” created from the same pattern but personalized

with fabrics and colors that reflect each quilter’s unique style.

Other highlights include live quilting demonstrations, raffle baskets, vendors from area quilt shops, a guild boutique filled with handmade gifts and goods, scissor sharpening, and two special exhibits.

One of the exhibits will honor Freddy Moran, an internationally recognized quilter, artist, and teacher who passed away in 2024 at the age of 94.

She is known for her vibrant, colorful designs and her motto, “Red is a neutral.” As a tribute to Moran, 24 Towpath members have created “face quilts” — playful and imaginative portraits accompanied by whimsical poems — intended to capture the joy and boldness of her work.

“This was a very fun project for

members to test their creative juices,” said guild member Terri Feola, who credited Donita Whelan and Terry Richey with spearheading the initiative. “We are excited about this display.”

The second special exhibit will showcase “The 1935 Friendship Quilt,” an antique quilt that sparked an unexpected connection between Gillian Bullmore, a resident of London, England, and the Cazenovia community.

Like many friendship quilts, the textile is stitched with the names of the people who contributed to its creation. When Bullmore saw it for sale online a few years ago, she knew it had a unique story to tell. After purchasing the piece on eBay, she made it her mission to find out as much as Quilts l Page 10

Two area authors to present history-focused book talks at the library

BY KATE HILL STAFF WRITER

The Cazenovia Public Library & Museum (CPL) will host two book talks in the community room in July.

“History buffs will love both these talks,” said CPL Adult Programming and Service Coordinator Renee Joseph.

On July 15 at 6 p.m., Cazenovia author Maureen Sullivan will discuss “Dear Brother.”

The book shares the story of Stephen and Hannah McOmber and their nine children, as told through their letters spanning 72 years from 1851 to 1923.

“Their stories are personal, yet universal,” Sullivan’s website states. “Individually, the letters reveal the experiences, thoughts, and feelings of the writer; collectively, they offer a time capsule of sorts, offering insights into the social history of pre-Civil War America to the early 20th century.”

The book is structured mostly chronologically but also by topic, with chapters such as “Leaving Home,” “Civil War,” “Friends,” “Free Silver,” and “Enid, Oklahoma.”

“With each letter that I read, I wanted to know more, and the only way to make sense of them was to transcribe them and arrange them chronologically, and in time, chapters made sense,” said Sullivan.

Most of the featured letters — those addressed as “Dear Brother” — were written to and collected by Edmund McOmber, the great-great-grandfather of Sullivan’s husband, Peter Tonetti, whose family home was in Waterville, NY. The collection, known in the family as the “Civil War letters,” was passed down and saved by Tonetti’s grandmother, Mildred Kellogg, who lived in the same house Edmund built in Black River, NY. Edmund died at the age of 95 in Black River in 1924, and Kellogg died in 1990 at the age of 96.

“From time to time, someone might casually mention these ‘Civil War letters,’ but what they contained and who had written them remained unclear,” Sullivan wrote in her book’s introduction. “One day, interested in learning more, I asked my mother-in-law about them. She handed me a cardboard box filled with old letters. As I began to sort through and read them, it became apparent that this box of letters contained far more than letters written by brother soldiers who served together in the Union’s Army of the Potomac.”

Sullivan noted that she knew little about the McOmber family when she began reading, but each letter revealed a bit more about Edmund, his family, his neighbors, and his friends.

“I was intrigued by the sketches of Civil War camps that brother George included in his letters home,” the introduction says. “I wished to know more about the young Theodore who wanted new boots for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations, but who didn’t have [enough money] to buy them. I wondered if Edmund’s sister Hank would end up marrying the man she wished her brother to meet, and I was eager to know more about that spirited girl named Nettie who wrote that she was ‘mad as a hen’ at her brother for not coming home for a visit. At one point, I

gasped out loud when a lock of chestnut brown hair fell into my lap upon opening one of the envelopes.”

Sullivan grew up in upstate New York and began her college experience at Cazenovia College before moving to New York City, where she continued her studies and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from New York University’s Stern School of Business.

After a 25-year career in finance, she earned an additional master’s degree in teaching from Manhattanville College and is now a certified pre-k through 6th-grade teacher in New York State.

Before releasing Dear Brother, Sullivan published a book titled “Simply Growing Up: Stories of Family and of Life Growing Up on a Farm.”

Both books are available through Amazon and links on her website, mjsdearbrother.com. Copies of Dear Brother will also be available for purchase at the July 15 event.

“Angels of Bastogne” Book Talk

On July 30 at 6 p.m., North Syracuse native Glenn Ivers will discuss his book “Angels of Bastogne, a Remembrance of World War II.” Based on a true story, the book follows US Army doctor Jack Prior, M.D., and two heroic Belgian nurses, Augusta Chiwy and Renee Lemaire, who volunteered in his aid station in Bastogne, Belgium, which was bombed on Christmas Eve, 1944.

It is also the story of soldiers and civilians swept up in the struggle for control of the strategic town during the Battle of the Bulge, and of the veterans who reunited in Bastogne 50 years later to reminisce and remember fallen comrades.

Ivers graduated from Colgate University in 1973 with a degree in English literature. He served in the US Peace Corps in Liberia, West Africa, from 1974 to 1976, and he traveled extensively throughout West Africa after completing his service.

Ivers spent his professional career in the human services field in Central New York.

During the 1990s, he produced three one-hour Telly Award-winning documentary films that were distributed by the Public Broadcasting Service.

Angels of Bastogne is his first booklength publication.

According to Ivers’ website, he was the executive director of the American Lung Association of CNY during the Authors l Page 11

It was nothing … except

Safety first on the Fourth

As July Fourth approaches many are likely looking forward to enjoying some fireworks whether that is in the form of a professional show their community is hosting or buying some for personal enjoyment.

It was a little more than 10 years ago former New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill allowing the use and sale of “sparkling” fireworks only during specific time periods, namely from June 1 to July 5 for Fourth of July celebrations and Dec. 26 to Jan. 2 for New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Since then it is not uncommon to see fireworks for sale in stores like Walmart and Target and various vendors set up locally.

While fireworks have become more commonplace and readily available, it is still important to keep safety in mind when using any kind of fireworks.

As July 4 fast approaches, the Firefighter’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) is encouraging people to take the time to be aware of some of the dangers associated with fireworks and to take measures to ensure their safety while avoiding accidents, fires and injuries.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) highlights that fireworks cause an estimated 19,500 reported fires in the U.S. each year.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an estimated 10,200 people were treated in an emergency room due to firework-related injuries in 2022.

It is important to remember that in many cases, the individual injured was not always the individual using the explosives.

Also, sparklers may look harmless, and almost toy-like, but they can be incredibly harmful and can cause serious injury and fires.

The U.S. CPSC reported that in 2022, 600 individuals were injured due to sparkler use.

The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause severe 3rd degree burns. According to the NFPA, sparklers cause roughly 25% of all fireworks-related emergency room visits, the most of any type of fireworks device.

“As New Yorkers make plans to celebrate Independence Day with friends and family, we encourage everyone to take into account the dangers associated with both legal and illegal fireworks and review firework safety tips and have a preparedness plan,” said FASNY President Edward Tase Jr. “The safest way to enjoy fireworks and avoid firework-related injuries this Fourth of July is at professional displays in your community. We hope all New Yorkers can make this a memorable celebration for all the right reasons.”

NFPA and FASNY also shared some other tips to keep in mind.

They recommend attending a local professional fireworks show if possible as the safest option for enjoying fireworks during the Fourth.

These organizations go on to recommend using glow sticks in lieu of sparklers.

It is also recommended to resist the temptation to get close to the firing site—the best view of a professional fireworks display is from a quarter of a mile or more away; Do not possess or shoot off illegal fireworks on your own. Besides risking injury to yourself and the crowd watching the demonstration, it is breaking the law; Fireworks, with the exception of handheld, groundbased effects, and sparklers, are illegal in the State of New York; Do not pick up or attempt to re-light used or “dud” fireworks—they may still cause serious burns or injury.

I bought myself a pair of Ramblings blue crystal earfrom the empty nest rings on my 60th birthday. On Ann Ferro my 85th birthday, however, jewelry was not on my mind.

My mission at Nightingales prompted by a surprising surfeit of birthday money? Find a spectacular perennial to brighten a sunny spot near the roses in my garden.

And there it was, in all its loveliness, a hydrangea of epic beauty. A House and Garden cover flower, it was filled with mop head effervescent yellow blooms, each encircled by shimmering chartreuse green petals. It was my birthday gift to myself … until I saw the gooseberry bush. Nothing effervescent about it…green leaves on branches filled with spikey thorns and small globes of sour, tart not-yet-ripe berries.

There was no choice. My birthday gift had to be this gooseberry bush. Its beauty was of another kind, another time. It was a talisman enshrining a time and place with powerful memories unique only to me.

Between the ages of 5 and 13 I spent two weeks, sometimes more, with my grandmother at her tiny bungalow in Lake Carmel. We lived those summer days and nights filled with excitement created from nothing … except the stream that ran across the dirt road behind my grandmother’s house where I would capture polliwogs and try to raise them in a water filled mason jar tucked in the shade of a mountain laurel.

It was nothing … except for fishing with a bent pin, kitchen string and a stick on the three logs shaky dock at the end of Ogden Road.

It was nothing … except for the patience of my grandmother teaching me how to remove the scales and clean the fish that we caught.

It was nothing … except for the time we spent making root beer, capping each bottle and storing them under the cottage out of the summer heat or when we would lie on a mattress in the attic and listen to the rain on the roof.

It was nothing … except when we walked barefoot along the roads to go to the grocery store for a container of milk to go with the kitchen sink cookies that my grandmother had made on the kerosene stove.

It was nothing … except when I learned how to make jam out of whatever we picked, carefully sealing each jar with melted paraffin. Among the nothings that we made into jam were the rhubarb and the unripe gooseberries that lined the back of the garden.

Both were terribly tart and sour, but my grandmother, with little more than nothing, made miraculous things happen to them.

It was triple decker sandwiches and chocolate cake for lunch every day, washed down with the homemade root beer and the nothing of how to make bread which became part of the sandwiches.

It was fetching and hauling gallon glass bottles of potable water from the spring on Beekman Drive that we stored under the kitchen table and cooled off in the small refrigerator.

It was the nothing of Bingo and card

games and pick-up-sticks on the porch on rainy days, or on sunny days, building houses out of stones and twigs on the sand pile in the back of the house.

It was the nothing of dress up with daisy crowns and princess capes made from old curtains; the nothing of playing pirates using curtain rods for swords.

It was the nothing of watching for the postman to stop at our mailbox at the bottom of the road or the nothing of fireflies dancing in the weeds or the horror of large miller moths crashing into the kitchen screens at night.

It was picking the Japanese beetles off the vegetables and dropping them into a can of kerosene. Mostly nothing.

And more nothing: There was no phone, no car. My grandparents never learned how to drive. We walked everywhere. Water for dishwashing and the loo came from a juryrigged cistern made from a metal barrel that collected water from the roof. There was also sun-warmed water collected from a water barrel to fill the galvanized tub for our Saturday baths.

But it was the gooseberries that held it all together, their tart sourness combined with the equal tart rhubarb made into luscious jams and pies with my grandmother’s magic and dictum that you make the best with what you have.

And that belief was the nothing of those summers.

In my memories, these times were among the best of my life. Their lessons emphasized the importance of living within the life you have been given, making the best of what was or is.

My grandmother had little in the way of earthly treasure.

What she had, she shared with flair…always with herself present to guide, to teach, to move you forward with an exploration and imagination built on what you knew how to do. Daily life was our recreation. We were a functioning part of that daily life, nothing special.

If I can examine my life, surveying each era … an always short-of-money student on scholarship, a young teacher overwhelmed with work, a bride figuring out how to live in a house that “needed work,” a working mother often too tired … I had this time of gooseberries as a guide, a blueprint, a prototype with which I could modify the guesses, stresses and messes of life.

Maybe, if I am lucky, I will have the chance to teach my grandsons how to turn sour/tart fruit into a pie or jam, leaving them with at least a tiny bit of my format for living. I’ve begun with the gooseberry bush.

And so, while that exquisite hydrangea would have added so much to my flower borders, the gooseberry bush adds not only its fruit but a solid, thorny reminder of who I am at 85 is because of who I was a lifetime ago.

Ann Ferro is a mother, a grandmother and a retired social studies teacher. While still figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up, she lives in Marcellus with lots of books, a spouse and a large orange cat.

FROM THE MAILBAG

From page 4

The three-member quorum voted unanimously in favor of a motion not to include potbellied pigs in the definition of domestic animals.

Any ownership of the petite swine within the village will have to be obtained through a variance.

And that’s just with Pat Trusselle of Sims Lane is seeking. Trusselle who has a degree in animal science and is a self-proclaimed “animal lover,” first brought the issue to the attention of the village planning board in October 1994.

The board denied her request to build a house for the potbellied pig in her backyard, further citing the fact that pigs are not currently maintained within the village limits as domestic animals.

20 Years Ago – June 29, 2005

The 2005 Cazenovia Village Election Day may be a day that goes down in history.

More than 800 voters visited the polls, resulting in what may have been the largest voter turnout Cazenovia has seen in all of its history.

The reason, a contested trustee race that had the whole village talking.

“This is the largest turnout that we’ve seen since I’ve been here,” Cazenovia Village Clerk Laura Herber Abernathy, who joined the village office in 2000, said.

Challenger Kurt Wheeler, who won the trustee seat to incumbent Bob Frazee 451 to 345 votes was delighted with the amount of residents who came out to cast their votes.

“We went down to the municipal building after the polls closed Tuesday night and waited patiently, with about 30 to 40 other people, for the Madison Board of Elections poll workers to take the papers out of the machine and count all the absentee ballots,” Wheeler said. “It was very exciting when they announced the totals, not because of the results per candidate but because of the total turnout.

“We were all just delighted that 800 people can come out to vote. As far as I know, that’s the most amount of voters Cazenovia has seen during any election,” Wheeler said.

10 Years Ago – July 1, 2015

State Department of Environmental Conservation staff stocked Cazenovia Lake with 23,280 walleye fingerlings for the first time since the late 1970s this week, part of a five-year fish stocking program aimed at restoring a quality walleye population to the lake.

“The reintroduction of walleye to Cazenovia Lake makes the lake a prime fishing destination for anglers locally and throughout New York state,” said DEC Regional Director Ken Lynch during the fish stocking event at Lakeside Park. “Stocking the lake also serves to bolster the economy of the area as anglers who come to Cazenovia to fish spend money in local restaurants, stores and motels.”

Thank you Cazenovia community

To the editor: I would sincerely like to thank all who came to pay last respects to my beloved son Ty Freyer last week. Ty was a bright light and had a high impact in his too short 23 year life on all who came into his path, both on and off the field. He will be sorely missed and always remembered.

God Bless David Freyer Cazenovia

Rural healthcare

To the editor: The massive cuts to the Medicaid Program proposed in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) currently in the US Senate and passed by the House will have a devastating impact on Upstate New York rural hospitals. Gov. Hochul estimates the annual loss to New York State’s healthcare sector will be $13.5 billion dollars.

Rural hospitals will be disproportionately impacted by the loss. There is no question that some already financially fragile hospitals will close.

Rural hospitals serve a captive population. Patients who because of age, poverty, lack of insurance, or lack of transportation cannot access healthcare services in larger urban centers. Most rural hospitals get 6580% of their reimbursement from Medicaid and Medicare. Under current Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement our rural hospitals already experience financial distress and are losing millions of dollars.

NYS has provided support to essential rural hospitals for years. Some have been converted to Critical Access hospitals permitting cost based reimbursement. The reduction in Medicaid dollars to our state will certainly reduce the state’s ability to continue that support.

Beyond providing essential healthcare

I look forward to working with everyone in the village to build on our community’s successes in recent years and also to address the challenges that are ahead.

I would also emphasize these hospitals are typically the major employers in their areas.

The current financial challenges that rural hospitals face in our state are well known. So it is striking that Republican House members from Upstate New York overwhelmingly voted for the House version of the BBB. Elise Stepanik NY -21 has no less than five hospitals in her district and Claudia Tunney has three. All of the hospitals in their districts already are currently experiencing financial distress.

This bill will certainly cause some to close.

Why a congressperson would undermine healthcare for their own voters is hard to understand.

Prior to our retirement, my partner and I spent many years consulting with rural hospitals including some in NY-21 and NY-24. They have always faced serious challenges but they are essential to our healthcare system and to New York’s most vulnerable residents. This bill is bad for them and bad for New York.

OPINION

The price of genius

Less than 48 hours apart, and just before the United States celebrated birthday no. 249, two storied figures in American popular music left us.

One was Sylvester Stewart, better known to all as Sly Stone. The other was Brian Wilson. Together they helped alter and define the sound of the late 20th century and, while doing so, reminded us that supreme talent rarely arrives without dealing with supreme struggle.

Just like the classical greats of other centuries like Mozart or Schubert, Sly and Brian were capable musicians from a very young age, demonstrating gifts rarely bestowed among mortals.

In Sly’s case, it went from gospel recordings with his siblings to work as a famed DJ in the bay area and a producer before he put together Sly and the Family Stone in 1966.

Then and now, what Sly did was revolutionary. Keyboards, guitars,

drums, horns all together but, what was more, it was multiracial and was capable of just about anything – soul, R&B, funk, rock, and a few other genres blended together into the most infectious thing you ever heard.

Their songs and their message were the same.

People could live together.

And it was joyous at the start, from “Dance to the Music” which broke it all down, instrument by instrument, to ‘Everyday People” and countless other gems. Try to watch the Woodstock movie and not respond, “Wanna take you higher – HIGHER!” But Sly’s utopia ran into the harsh reality of the late 1960s and early ‘70s.

That and the burden of his gift gradually sent Sly into darker places, from the missed concerts to the bleak realism of There’s a Riot Goin’ On. He showed us what was possible – Prince, for one, never happens without Sly – but was broken, piece by piece, and

never fully recovered.

The same 1966 where Sly and the Family Stone was created also gave us Pet Sounds, a record still not equaled in its concept or its harmonies or its sounds or its sheer beauty. Brian Wilson was responsible for all of it.

Brian’s famous musical ear (just in on ear) was also evident in childhood, as was the harmonies he devised while with brothers Dennis and Carl, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine in the group which became the Beach Boys.

Yet from the outset Brian faced adversity. First it was the tyrannical rule of his father, with physical and mental abuse a notable part of the story. Then it was his own breakdown at the height of the Beach Boys’ popularity which took him off the road and relegated him to the studio, the place he loved best.

In those Southern California studios Brian really did his magic, from arranging the harmonies of

classics like “Surfer Girl” to layering instruments into exquisite soundscapes – the opening of “California Girls”, for example.

They all paved the way to Pet Sounds. Few pieces of music have ever proved more influential. Paul McCartney, blown away, knew he and his mates had to try and top it and, well, Sgt. Pepper happened.

Just about everyone else serious about music has attempted for nearly 60 years to match the pure sonic wonder of that album.

Again, though, the price of genius was quite steep.

More darkness for Brian followed, persisting for decades, and while he finally recorded and played live again, he struggled until the end, not helped by Mike Love, whose jealousy and attempt to keep the Beach Boys legacy all for himself persists to this day.

Recent movies and documentaries have helped fill out the pictures of these two remarkable lives, leading to a renewed and

Truth is, they’re both massive contributors to what American music feels and sounds like. You’ll hear them plenty next weekend at holiday picnics, even if the concerts and pyrotechnic shows lean toward macho flag-waving which looks great on the surface but lacks much depth.

Legendary art is rarely produced by contentment.

The lives of Sly Stone and Brian Wilson, both unique and both instrumental (pun intended) in shaping modern sound, bear this out, and as the years pass their troubled lives will soon give away, leaving us the songs, plenty of reason to celebrate – and dance, of course.

Cazenovia Artisans welcomes artist Moe Lalonde in July Moe Lalonde is an avid woodworker with over 40 years of experience.

With a history of building custom cabinetry and furniture, he has transitioned to more innovative techniques in creating wood sculptures.

Lalonde now specializes in sculpting with locally sourced hardwoods, using no mechanical fasteners.

Some of his pieces have contained nearly two hundred linear feet of precision glue joints.

From there, he creates sculptures that work with the natural colors and outstanding textures of these beautiful hardwoods.

Lalonde’s work draws off the natural beauty of wood.

“People should be drawn to touch and question it, to find awe in the color, grain, and texture unique to every piece,” he said.

Living at the foothills of the Adirondacks, he is surrounded by some of the best hardwoods found anywhere.

Most of the wood he uses comes from trees that have reached the end of their natural lives.

The story each tree has to tell unfolds as it is sawn, dried, and transformed into another form of art.

“It is an act of respect when I make a piece that allows a tree to live on,” Lalonde said.

Lalonde is drawn to creating pieces that are both beautiful and technically challenging.

He pushes the edge envisioning new techniques and working many iterations of them until they become a success.

From this process where some unique and creative form emerges.

Cazenovia Artisans will feature his work during the month of July.

A reception will be held July 11 from 5 to 7 p.m.

The reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served .

For more information visit cazenoviaartisans.com, or call 315-6552225.

Cazenovia Artisans is located at 39 Albany St.

Quilts

She told me she planned to visit in July and attend our show. I asked her if she was willing to bring the quilt for us to display, and she was thrilled with the idea.”

Quilt show attendees can also purchase tickets to win a raffle quilt crafted by guild members Carol Holladay, Arlene King, Cathy Lee, Dale Shinneman, and Kate Toole. Tickets will be available at the registration desk for $1 each or $5 for six.

“Vicki Swanson was the committee chair who organized the show this year,” said Feola. “. . . This is a lot of work, and she was a great leader. The committee consisted of several members, all contributing to a different part [of] making this show happen.”

Cazenovia Artisans will feature the work of Moe LaLonde in July.

possible about the women who stitched it and the connections between them.

Her research revealed that the quilt was made by the “R. and T. Class of the Baptist church” in Cazenovia to celebrate a marriage on Feb. 23, 1935.

Bullmore has no personal ties to Cazenovia; however, piecing together the quilters’ stories has given her a sense of Cazenovia in the 1930s and life in the community today.

It has also given her a desire to see and experience the town firsthand.

“I got [Gillian’s] email address from [a ‘Cazenovia Republican’] article and wrote to her,” said Feola. “She learned a great deal about Cazenovia while researching the women who created that friendship quilt.

About the Towpath Quilt Guild

Founded in 1981 by a small group of women passionate about quilting, the Tow-

path Quilt Guild now has more than 67 members across Central New York.

“I’ve been a member for nine years,” said Feola. “I learned to sew at a young age, but I started quilting about 20 years ago after a friend invited me to take a quilting class. I was hooked. After I retired, I had the time to join the guild and continued to build on my basic knowledge of quilting. Towpath has many members with vast experiences; all are willing to share their talents.”

Quilters of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned experts, are welcome to join.

The guild meets on the second Tuesday of the month at the Fayetteville United Methodist Church and offers workshops, guest speakers, and opportunities to learn from other quilters.

This year’s guild co-presidents are Berta Keeler and Jeannine Lloyd.

According to Feola, Towpath members are deeply committed to supporting the CNY community.

“One of our main focuses is creating quilts to donate to a different charity every year,” Feola said. “. . . Our members also make and donate quilts to their favorite charities on their own.”

This year, the guild has created and donated nearly 123 quilts for children and 529 infant burp cloths to the Ronald McDonald House of Syracuse.

Past charitable contributions have supported organizations such as the YMCA Men’s Shelter, Hospice and Palliative Care, the ALS Society, and the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center.

Residents organize first Cazenovia Community Yard Sale

BY KATE HILL STAFF WRITER

The first Cazenovia Community Yard Sale is scheduled for July 11-13, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at various locations within the greater Cazenovia area.

Homeowners will host sales throughout the village, offering a variety of secondhand items, including home décor, women’s clothing, toddlers’ clothing, shoes, furniture, and art supplies.

Some families who live outside the village also plan to hold sales at their homes.

“Some people have too much [stuff] to relocate to the village locations,” said Julie Wallace, who is organizing the weekend with Jessica Mulet, Winnie Parker Macheda, and Michelle Belden.

“For convenience, they are having [their sales] at their homes. However, for people who felt they lived in areas that would not get good traffic or visibility, they can optionally arrange to set up at the [former Howard Hanna] space across from Pewter Spoon or the Buyea’s parking lot, if prearranged with Jessica in advance.”

Mulet can be contacted via text at 315-570-8441. Residents interested in hosting sales at their homes can also contact Mulet up until three days before the event.

As of mid-June, sales were planned for Nickerson Street, Oxbow Road, West Lake Road, Emory Avenue, Wyss Road, East Lake Road, Fenner Road, Evergreen Lane, Moraine Road, Nelson Road, Lincklaen Street, the Pewter Spoon, and Buyea’s.

On June 23, Wallace said Mulet was

working on a map that can be accessed via a QR code. Once finalized, the map will also be posted on flyers and social media.

Shoppers are invited to stop by photographer Terresa Mattison’s home at 3334 Wyss Rd., Cazenovia, for drop-in mini photography sessions. The cost is $30 for 15 minutes, and five edited photos will be sent directly to an online gallery. Any questions can be directed to Mattison at 607-378-7552 or Terresalynnphotography@gmail.com.

Examples of her work can be viewed on social media @terresalynnphotography.

According to Wallace, the money generated from the yard sales will go to the families selling the items.

“Although, when the sale is over, it is recommended [that sellers] donate remaining clothing items that are unable to be sold [and are] in good condition to local organizations such as CazCares or the Laker Locker,” she said.

“Any home goods could be donated to the Salvation Army or another local organization.”

The community yard sale idea was inspired by posts Wallace saw on social media showing similar initiatives in other towns.

“Some have been doing them for many years,” she said. “A friend of mine from high school was sponsoring one in her town near Albany. I thought it would be a good idea for Cazenovia to increase visibility for local families selling gently used items. [We wanted] to choose a weekend to try to get as many families to participate as possible. This could bring business to the

Authors

According to his website, Ivers planned to produce a documentary film about Prior revisiting Bastogne; unfortunately, Prior’s health declined before the project could get off the ground, and he passed away in 2007.

Ivers documented his writing process in “Author’s Journey to Bastogne” on his website.

“There are all sorts of terms for books that blend fact with fiction, but I prefer narrative nonfiction,” he said.

“The book is based on Jack’s actual experiences and follows the historical timeline. The dilemma for me was that, other than a few short conversations, there is no record of what any of the people said to each other. So, I added virtually all the dialogue. In essence, the characters — some real and some imagined — ‘narrate’ history.”

To purchase and learn more about the book, visit angelsofbastogne.com.

l From page 2 same period that Prior served on its board of directors.

“I was inspired to write Angels of Bastogne after Dr. Jack Prior told me his extraordinary World War II story in 2002 and gave me a copy of an article he wrote about it in the Onondaga Medical Society newsletter in 1972,” Ivers said. “It was a long, arduous process, but I finally published the book in 2022.”

To learn more about the context in which the story occurred, Ivers first read Charles MacDonald’s “A Time for Trumpets: The Untold Story of the Battle of the Bulge,” in which Prior is quoted twice.

He then read dozens of other books and articles and travelled to Bastogne in 2014. He recently returned to Bastogne in May.

Did the players “Break The Bank” for $10,000?

The answer to the question is NO, but, they came close…again!

The 2nd Annual Senior Invitational, “Break The Bank Shootout” was hosted by the Lakeshore Yacht & Country Club last week. Head Golf Professional Jonny Petrin and his staff did an outstanding job of organizing and administering the somewhat complicated format for the “new” event that invited the “Top” senior male and female golfers in Central New York to compete for $10,000. To the best of my knowledge, it is the first time in the long history of amateur golf in the United States that this type of format has been played and that 100% of the entry fees were distributed back to the players. The format is unique because all of the participants received “CASH” payouts for their participation in the event. It is not just for the top 5 or 6 players.

Everyone had the opportunity to win “CASH” based on the number of points they earned for pars, birdies, eagles, holes-in-one, closest to the pin, leading money winners, and putts they had to make from 7ft and 20ft. The players competed in four age divisions and each player had “24” opportunities to share just over $9,200 in CASH” during their round.

EVERYONE CASHED! This event is now on the official annual schedule of the Central New York Senior Golf (CNYSG) consortium. Co-Comisioners, Don Christian and Ken Bodley are carrying the torch” for Pete Frank (who started it about 30 years ago), followed by Larry Duchaney and Phil Allen. I have often mentioned on my radio show that the competitive amateur schedule in CNY is the finest I have ever seen, anywhere. I would like to praise one more individual who’s contribution to the event, on behalf of the CNYSG, earned her the “Most Valuable Player” award for the way she managed her many roles and responsibilities during the exciting event…Mary Ann Bodley, Ken’s wife. And thanks to Nancy Miller for her assistance with breakfast.

Perry Noun is the former executive director of the Northeastern NY PGA as well as a competitive amateur golfer and winner of the New York State Super Senior Amateur Championship.

Perry Noun can be heard on “Tee Time With The Pronoun” on... News Radio 570 WSYR and 106.9FM.

PGA players are now using some form of Aim Point Putting techniques in their pre-putt routine.

The highlight of the evening for me was announcing that Phil Allen, long time successful amateur golfer in CNY and past president of the Syracuse District Golf Association (SDGA) was the recipient of the Bill Noun Humanitarian Award. Among Phil’s treasured trophies stands the “3” Match Play Championships that required him to win “12” consecutive matches during his stretch. Phil was also elected Grand Chief Sachem of the League of Iroquois that is the oldest Amateur Golf League in the world. So said, Grantland Rice, one of the greatest sports writers in history. The four clubs of the League include Oak Hill in Rochester, Wanakah in Buffalo, Yahnundasis in Utica and Bellevue in Syracuse. My brother Bill knew Phil and I believe with all my heart that he would be very happy Phil was selected.

The “Leading Money Winners” by divisions were…

(Ages 55-64) - Kevin Vandenberg…(Ages 65-72) Don Christian…(Ages 73-83) - Mike Vinciguerra… and (Women’s Division)…Monica Hamilton.

Monica also won last year. Special recognition goes to Kevin Vandenberg for shooting a round 65 and shattering the record for the largest “CASH” payout to a player. Also, you might be interested to know that Kevin is the highest ranking Senior Amateur Golfer in the United States. CONGRATULATIONS Kevin. CNY is fortunate to have a history of producing some of the best senior golfers in New York State and the country.

I, along with every member of the Noun Family are proud to be part of this unique event for the best senior male and female golfers in CNY and wish to thank Joe Convertino Jr., President of CH Insurance and Co-Host of my radio show, for his friendship and assistance with the underwriting of this tournament.

My brother Bill wrote this many years ago for his students as they moved on from Oswego High School through life.

“All students have to do is find and use that speck of greatness they have in themselves and run with it the rest of their life”.
