R EIMAGINING POLICE

County committee approves funding for Community Justice Center

T

he Tompkins County Public Safety Committee approved funding $144,380 for the Community Justice Center on April 15, a major part of the Reimagining Public Safety proposal that was approved last month. The money will fund the county’s portion of the joint city-county venture, bringing it that much closer to reality.

Expressed in prior meetings throughout the Reimagining process, the Community Justice Center will work with the city and county to implement the plans approved by the two legislative bodies.

County Administrator Jason Molino said employees with the Community Justice Center will be county employees who have a contract with the city.

Though he did not specify the number of employees, in past meetings it was suggested that there would be two. The origi-

nal idea was to have them work out of the county’s mental health building on East Green Street in Ithaca. However, legislator Shawna Black said she was worried about that making people uncomfortable.

“I don’t want it to have a negative feel,” she said. Black also suggested using the Office of Human Rights of the Human Services annex instead.

Molino agreed that her point was a good one, and something he’d keep in mind as they began to finalize plans.

Legislator Deborah Dawson asked, on behalf of a constituent, whether or not the Community Justice Center, and costs associated, would be a permanent part of the government. Molino explained that this proposal is for two years, and then it would be reevaluated.

“This isn’t suggested to be permanent right now,” he said.

“It’ll be an annual cost, but with a two-year expectation.

We’ll evaluate success and opportunities and then see where we are from there.”

Legislator Mike Sigler asked how the Sheriff ’s Office would be involved, and added that he’s of the mind it should all be run through Sheriff Derek Osborne. Molino assured him that all the departments will be involved in the process and will be able to participate in working groups that are relevant to the recommendations affecting them.

The Community Justice Center would also report back to the Legislature regularly on its progress, work and expenditures. The Public Safety Committee approved the funding, and it will go before the Budget Committee next before being voted on by the full County Legislature. So though a preliminary step, legislator Rich John said it was an important one.

“We really want to send a message to the community that we want to advance this,” he said.

His plans look at myriad possibilities, including units for short-term and long-term rentals, office space, meeting rooms, retail space, community meeting space, conference space and retail. The name pro-

posed is the Cliff Street Retreat.

However, because of the zoning in that area, the project was in front of the Planning and Economic Development Committee (PEDC) on April 21 for the first steps in its Planned Unit Development (PUD) consideration.

CAT unveiled its first ever fleet of electric buses on Earth Day, with a ceremony out on the Commons. Last month, Californiabased Proterra delivered seven of their fifth-generation 40-foot ZX5+ buses to TCAT. The buses, estimated to cost about $1 million each, were funded by a variety of sources, including federal, state and local funders.

Local funders include the city of Ithaca, Tompkins County 28– May

and Cornell University.

Work to secure funding for the electric bus program began in 2017, after current TCAT General Manager Scot Vanderpool took over. TCAT expects to further offset costs through the federal Volkswagen settlement, and part of the funding was provided through the FTA Low-No Grant Program with the help of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

“Earth Day is a fitting day

proposed are allowed, some are questionable,” STREAM Collaborative architect Noah Demarest said. “We’re trying to find a way to get that flexibility.”

Demarest added that they were also exploring a way to create a path down from the facility on West Hill to meet up with the Black Diamond Trail through Cass Park.

“We have the opportunity to take a more accessible route that follows along the grade and takes advantage of the length,” he said.

Committee members had some clarifying questions, but were generally supportive of the project.

“I really appreciate the mixed use,” committee member Laura Lewis said.

Committee member Cynthia Brock, who represents West Hill on Common Council, echoed that.

“There’s a lot of interest in this project,” she said. “A lot of excitement to see the reuse of this building.”

A public information session will follow in the coming weeks, and the PEDC will talk about it again at its meeting in May. Ithaca Energy Code Supplement

The Ithaca Energy Code Supplement was also back in front of the PEDC, despite previously having been approved and moved along to Common Council. After Luis AguirreTorres, the new sustainability director, started, he wanted to look over the supplement and see if there were any new ideas or perspectives he could provide. Specifically, he wanted to learn more about the environmental justice aspects of the code, though no changes were made to that.

Aguirre-Torres and Sustainability Coordinator Nick Goldsmith also met with representatives from Cornell to talk about their district energy system, and they agreed to use Cornell’s data. However, both the city and town of Ithaca will have the right to ask for a third-party review at cost to Cornell if they deem it necessary.

A few other tweaks were made to the code. Small-scale solar arrays, less than 25kW, will no longer be required to report annually, as it’s a requirement that would cause a burden specifically on homeowners and small businesses.

Additionally, Goldsmith said they took out the 15-year contract requirement for renewable energy, and clarified reporting requirements.

Overall, none of the changes were major, and the PEDC approved them without much discussion. The code will go back in front of Common Council next month for final approval.

-Ta n n e r H a r d i n g

for us to celebrate this important TCAT milestone and marks our community’s longstanding commitment toward lowering carbon emissions, and we have many people to thank for that,” Vanderpool said. “TCAT’s aim is to transform what is now a mostly diesel-powered fleet to all electric by 2035, and this day represents our first steps toward meeting that goal, thanks to the help of many of our stakeholders and supporters.

Vanderpool added that despite the bump in the road of 2020, TCAT is currently still on track to meet that goal.

“TCAT is proud to be doing our part in reducing the carbon footprint and benefitting

generations to come,” he said.

The New York Power Authority’s eMobility team helped TCAT design and install the necessary charging infrastructure for the new buses. The installation provided electrical capacity and civil infrastructure for a total of 12 Proterra 125kW fast chargers allowing for future expansion.

The buses can carry up to 675 kWh of energy on board, and on a full charge can drive for a maximum of 329 miles.

The MPGe peaks at 23.5, and the bus can hold 40 people in total. Spectators at the unveiling were offered free rides around the Commons to try out the new vehicles.

Students, youth activists rally on the Commons for Earth Day, social justice

A

group of students and activists from Sunrise Ithaca gathered at Bernie Milton Pavilion on the Commons on Earth Day to call for bold climate action and social justice.

“Our country is grounded in a system built for the protection of material goods over the wealth and health of workers and the planet,” said Nicole LaFave, activist, Board of Education member and County Legislature candidate.

“In order to mitigate climate change, we must dismantle and end racism. A decarbonized planet and economy cannot

exist without crippling the structures that perpetuate disparate outcomes for the most marginalized communities.

In order to take care of planet Earth, we must first take care of the people who reside on this planet.”

Students marched from Ithaca High School, led by Magnolia Mead, to meet at the pavilion on a cold afternoon that alternated between sun and snow. There were signs that read things like, “system change not climate change,” “the oceans are rising and so are we” and “raise your voice, not the ocean.”

Luis Aguirre-Torres, the city of Ithaca’s director of sustainability, was also on hand to share his experience of fighting for both climate and social justice.

“The fight never ends,” he said. “It continues every day.

Working in climate change is the stuff of nightmares because you’re so aware of everything that’s happening, and everything that’s happening to people that you love and people that you know […] We want to change people’s lives, and make this a better world for everybody, not just a few.

The vast majority of the rally attendees were high school and college students or young adults — there was a shoutout to all the students who were “striking from school” to be in attendance — and activist Christa Nuñez emphasized the importance of young people to the movement.

“You are our future, you are the future of this planet, and I encourage you to continue in the steps you are forging right now,” she said.

bout a week ago, four pieces of Amy Dickinson’s mail were delivered in error to SBR headquarters. Can’t blame the US Postal Service — these are crazy times. Still, in the spirit of helping out, and also because I don’t know how to forward snail mail, I thought I’d do Amy a kindness by handling these few questions for her. I’m thinking if things work out, she might let me handle some of the overflow in the future.

Dear (Amy) SBR: I recently moved from Bugtussle, Kentucky to Ithaca, New York. I’m told it’s spring, but it keeps on snowing and whatnot. Also, down home it don’t matter if you’re real pretty or look like ten miles of bad road, we show our faces. All y’all are covering up with masks up here and I get the stink eye whenever I’m out doing my business. Makes me feel lower’n a snake belly in a wagon rut. I reckon my question is what the Sam Hill is the story? Is this some kind of Yankee holiday?

Signed: Why the Ruckus

Dear In: I tried to get in touch with Legal, but she hasn’t gotten back to me, so I’m just going to go with my gut on this one. Nothing says “I trust you” like an envelope of cash. A certified check just seems a little impersonal under the circumstances. Congrats on finding true love!

Dear Why: That’s not the stink eye you’re getting, my grit-loving friend.

It’s good old-fashioned inquisitiveness.

With civic-minded people wearing masks to protect themselves and others from spreading or catching COVID, you’re something of a curiosity. Say, who’s that bold gambling man rolling the dice with his own and others’ health? It’s not hostility you sense, but admiration for a hero who isn’t going to let anyone tell him what to do! You show your face with pride, and when you see those admirers you raise your middle finger high. It’s how we Yankees say “thank you.”

Dear John: Short answer: relax. This is America, and the ready access to weaponry for all, from single-shot derringers to weapons-grade fissile material, is the bedrock on which our republic is built.

(District of Columbia v. Heller.) Top GOP lawmakers, sponsored by the non-profit Smith & Wesson Foundation, are working tirelessly to keep the floodgates open.

Still, it might be a good idea to wait until people are distracted by celebrating a holiday, like Samuel Colt’s birthday, before you ‘pull the trigger.’

Dear (Amy) SBR: Two weeks ago, I met my soulmate online. The problem is that he lives in central Florida, and I live in Ithaca. We’ve agreed that I should quit my job, sell my house and move there so that we can get married.

It’s a little complicated because he’s still married and living with his wife and children. Also, he thinks I’m a woman, which I’m actually not. We said ‘I love you’ the first time we Facetimed, and he really gets me like nobody else. He’s going to get a job and leave his wife as soon as I get there. We have it all planned out. My question is this: When I sell my house, which is better: sending him the cash, or putting the money in a certified check in his name?

When customers at the Ithaca Farmers Market and GreenStar persuaded Asya to teach others to prepare South Indian dishes, Asya agreed. Her classes at GreenStar were sold out. Next, a class at Cornell for staff and administration was warmly received. This past February, Asya began an online series of presentations over Zoom, filmed live in her kitchen in Ithaca.

“Cooking over Zoom turned out to be great fun. Before each class, I shared the ingredients for the upcoming class with my classmates. Some emerging cooks shared ingredients with other classmates.

A few people prepared the ingredients

before the class and they were able to cook along with me… With two screens, everyone in the class could watch the food preparation. People chimed in and said they enjoyed the group participation during the class. This was not a lecture.”

Asya’s plans include a mid-May class on idli and dosa. No experience is necessary, and interested young people love to make these recipes as well. Family and friends, separated by the pandemic, can sign up and take one or a series of classes together. Asya hopes to also add some summer classes outdoors, observing safe social distancing. “Summer is the ideal time to make idli and dosa in Ithaca. The warmer temperature creates the perfect setting for natural fermentation.” Classmates can watch or they can join the set, au naturel.

Since the murder of George Floyd, President Martha Pollack has been sending missives to the Cornell campus community on racial violence in the United States. These communications express both grief at the incidents and Cornell’s continued commitment to social justice.

The latest of these messages, sent on April 20, 2021, was prompted by the guilty verdict in the case of Derrick Chauvin, George Floyd’s murderer. The president terms this just verdict “a pivotal moment in our nation’s reckoning with racism.” We shall see, though history suggests otherwise.

At the same time that the president has been sending out these calls for social justice, Cornell has not wavered in its continuing educational partnerships with regimes around the world where social justice is violated every day for the marginalized: the Uighurs in China, Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Territories, and South Asian guest workers in Qatar, who in their dangerous jobs suffer disproportionate deaths and injuries in a country where Cornell has a medical school. In addition, Cornell partners with a business school in Saudi Arabia as the country conducts its genocidal war in Yemen. And the university has yet to make an honest public statement about the fact that its founding was enabled, under the Morrill Act of 1862, through the selling of stolen Indian land in the course of a national genocide.

One is reminded here of Dr. King’s dictum that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Cornell’s actions, then, both at home and abroad threaten the very social justice that President Pollack calls for in her messages.

trials. The County legislature should stick to county matters that are within its jurisdiction. Of course each individual legislator has the right to comment as as an individual on any matter but such statements should not be issued on behalf of or signed as a legislator.

Dear Community Members: The Ithaca Police Benevolent Association stands firmly in our stance that due process is extremely important and needed to protect the rights of the accused and to ensure fair and impartial outcomes. We believe that not only does this concept apply to members of the public but it also applies equally to any public servants accused of wrongdoing to include Police Officers.

The tragic events of May 25th, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota during which George Floyd was killed by Derek Chauvin have tested the very fiber of our Community and our Nation for the better part of a year and have resulted in much civil unrest and calls for public safety reform. The facts and evidence in the case have finally been reviewed by an impartial jury who yesterday concluded that Derek Chauvin is guilty of murder and manslaughter.

The due process has spoken and the Ithaca Police Benevolent Association supports the outcome. Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd and his actions were in no way consistent with those that are considered acceptable by the rest of the law enforcement profession.

Our profession holds itself to the highest standards both locally and nationally and Derek Chauvin is in no way representative of that. He is a criminal plain and simple and it has now been proven in the court of law.

Now is a time for peace and healing and we need each other more than ever.

As we move forward together in continued partnership with the Community we plan to continue the important and challenging work that lies ahead of us. Together we can achieve meaningful changes to the way in which police services are provided in the City of Ithaca and in doing so we can secure a better overall future for our Community for many generations to come.

CURTAIN CALL County Administrator Jason Molino steps down and takes a position in Livingston County as he seeks better work-life balance.

fter three years, County Administrator Jason Molino is leaving his position with Tompkins County and heading west to become the Executive Director of the Livingston County, New York Water and Sewer Authority.

Molino described the decision as a personal one stemming from the long hours and generally high demand of the job.

“I have four children,” he explained.

“They’re 6, 8, 10 and 21 […] We felt there was a change we needed to make in our lives as a family to spend more time together, and this was an opportunity that would bring us closer to our extended family. The choice came from that.”

The Legislature is expected to name an interim administrator soon, and a comprehensive search for the next county administrator will begin later in 2021. Molino said he plans to work closely with the Legislature and administration over his final weeks to ensure a smooth transition following his departure.

Prior to coming to Tompkins County in 2018, Molino had been the city manager in his wife’s hometown of Batavia for over a decade. He said his perception of Tompkins County was that it was a place unafraid to be a leader, and said he’s found that to be true in the three years he was here.

“It had a reputation of always being progressive and not being afraid to take risks,” he said. “And that’s been true since I’ve been here. That reputation of progressiveness and willingness to try new things to move forward.”

Since taking over as county administrator in January 2018, Molino has taken on typical duties such as budget planning and managing the day-to-day operations of a county, but he’s also been faced with challenges like navigating a pandemic and finding ways to dismantle systemic racism in policing.

He also oversaw the establishment of the county’s Office of Veteran’s Services and hiring its first director, the establishment of the county’s first Chief Equity and Diversity Officer and led the review and recommendation to merge the Mental Health and Public Health Departments.

Throughout arguably his two biggest challenges — the pandemic and the reimagining public safety process — Molino has expressed his belief in putting real re-

Jason Moli no (P hoto: S h e ry l S i n k ow)

sources into finding a solution. As of April 19, the county had spent over $3 million on the COVID response effort, much of which is related to staffing hours and testing; the county has conducted over one million COVID tests in the past year, which is more than some entire states. Additionally, about 60% of the county has received one dose of the vaccine and 41% is fully vaccinated. Those vaccination numbers are good for second best in the state, only behind Hamilton County, which has a population a fraction of the size.

Molino said that while he hopes to never go through another pandemic, if he had to, he wouldn’t do anything differently.

“COVID in general was a tragedy,” he said. “But the people I’ve worked with, the county staff, the community partners, it’s been a remarkable experience to have partnered with them.”

Molino credits the county’s partners often, and said he thinks it’s one of the biggest strengths Tompkins County has.

“The big thing I noticed is the relationships with our partners in the community are incredibly important,” he said. “We need to make sure we’re in good terms and good standing, and make sure we can work through issues. When those relationships succeed, we all succeed.”

The Reimagining Public Safety also relied heavily on those partnerships, particularly with the City of Ithaca as the two administrations teamed up to come up with recommendations for changes in law enforcement in the county’s two biggest police forces.

“One of the big hurdles that both the Legislature and Common Council got over was adopting a plan that hopefully focuses on addressing systemic challenges in law enforcement,” Molino said. “I think that first step was taken, and we are on a path now and as long as I’m here we’ll continue to push that forward.”

He recently made a step toward achieving that plan by getting approval from the Public Safety Committee to spend over $144,000 to establish the Community Justice Center, which will be in charge of implementing the Reimagining Public Safety Plan. The Budget Committee and then Legislature will vote on it next.

Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, chair of the Tompkins County Legislature, thanked Molino for his service.

“Jason has served this county with integrity every single day in this role,” she said.

“He has brought a thoughtful presence as our administrator, showing deep support

for our staff and fiduciary tact putting together budgets under ever more complicated circumstances. The Legislature wishes Jason our best as he embarks on the next chapter in his career. Livingston County will be lucky to have him.”

She also lauded his accomplishments, particularly his efforts in the Reimagining Public Safety process.

“Tompkins County has had a track record of excellence under Jason’s leadership,” she said. “We’re often first in the state and a community that others look to and admire. Jason has shown compassion for our community, especially visible in the fast forwarding of our movement toward safety and equity for all residents, with a keen focus on those most marginalized.”

Perhaps the most recognizable and visible part of a county administrator’s job is budgeting. He left Batavia with an impressive record: minimal if any tax increases each year, a $10 million downtown revitalization grant from the state and creative cost-cutting measures to stabilize the city’s budget. When he came to Tompkins County, he inherited a budget in the black, but with less flexibility as he’s required to navigate the county’s discretionary funding, funding social services and paying for state mandated programs.

Molino called the budget process in Tompkins County “interesting,” and said though it’s different than a lot of different counties, it works here.

This past budget season was particularly difficult due to COVID shortfalls from sales tax and state aid, Molino was able to pass a 2021 budget that saw a decreased tax rate for the seventh consecutive year. The budget overall was down by 5.64%, or nearly $11 million from the previous year. The Legislature approved the use of $1.4 million from the county’s fund balance in concurrence with a 2.21% tax levy increase to get the decreased tax rate.

At the time, Molino said it was one of the more difficult budgets he had worked on, because though it was easy to identify the problem, it was impossible to find a solution when the variables were constantly changing. As a feather in his cap, it’s worth noting that no county employees were laid off during the pandemic.

Molino will finish up with Tompkins County at the end of May, and reflects back on his time in Tompkins County fondly. He said most of all, he appreciated the people he worked with.

“The staff of the county are very special people,” he said. “They’re incredibly pasA p ri l

sionate and take pride in what they do. It’s interesting, I’ve been able to communicate more with my staff when they’re working remotely than I did when they were working in the office. I do a town hall every Friday where I answer questions submitted beforehand and take live questions. It’s an opportunity for a half hour or so to connect with the workforce in a way I never did before. That connection with the staff and the camaraderie we’ve had over the past year is what I’ll miss the most.”

He also again pointed out the relationships with community partners as something he’ll miss.

“The community is incredibly compassionate and has a lot of heart and passion.

It’s been incredibly rewarding,” he said.

“I’ve gotten to develop some great partnerships with great folks. Folks in the city, people at Cornell…I meet with town leaders every Thursday and it’s one of the phone calls I most look forward to every week.”

He said though it was a difficult decision to make, he’s confident it’s the right one for his family, and he’s looking forward to his new position.

“It’s exciting,” he said. “I did a lot of water and sewer work as a city manager, and it’s huge in respect to community development. It’s a relatively young authority, about 20-25 years old, and I think there are opportunities for more collaboration with other towns. Plus it’s in an area I’m fairly familiar with, and I’ll be close to extended family.”

As for what’s next for the county once he’s gone, Molino said he isn’t worried, and again praised his colleagues.

“I don’t think the county will miss a beat,” he said. “I’ve been surrounded by great people, amazing people, and amazing leaders in the community and public service. That’s the reason the county’s success has been what it has been.”

He added that the county administration team knows everything on the table, and that him leaving won’t force anyone to scramble.

“One person doesn’t know everything going on,” he said. “We’ve made sure the team is aware where certain initiatives stand and what steps are being taken.”

In-person summer classes back at Hangar Theatre

By Tanne r Harding

T

hough described as “slightly smaller than usual” by director Shirley Serotsky, the Hangar will be bringing back a robust schedule of in-person classes for the Next Generation School of Theatre this summer. The program is open to any students entering grades 2-10, and will run weekly from July 5-August 20.

Capacity will be reduced and classes will mostly take place outdoors for the highest level of safety and compliance.

“Education will be outdoors, as much as possible,” Serotsky said.

The goal of Next Generation is to give young people the opportunity to “learn from theater artists/educators as they kindle new friendships and awaken their most creative selves.”

Every class includes theater games, warm-ups and collaborative creation, and

each week develops specific skill sets that focus on the whole student and prioritize the activation of mind, body and heart.

Other safety measures added this year will be staggered drop-off and pick-up times to control density, in-person health screenings during drop-off and a mask requirement during class time.

The first week of classes, July 5-9 offers an introduction to musical theater for students in grades 2-5, and a musical theater experience for students in grades 6-10.

Though details will vary based on age, both classes focus on expressing themselves and a story through song, dance and movement.

The following week, July 12-16 offers “Musical Break-a-Leg” for the younger group, and “Performance Lab: Scenes & Songs” for the older group. Both classes

will end with a performance piece at the end that the students will get to share, and will focus on building confidence in different areas of theater.

The next two weeks are spin-offs of the same program, focusing on storytelling through improvisation exercises, rehearsal, and working on a play.

From Aug. 2-Aug. 6, the younger group class is a mix of theater and creative play, called “Dramatic Kids: Fantastical Fun.” Students will combine games, storytelling, crafts and puppets. The older group will focus on improvisation and ensemble building while working to develop theater skills like active listening, clarity of choices, confidence, timing and teamwork.

The following week is another Dramatic Kids class for the younger group, though this time focusing on superheroes and the types of stories they would tell. The older

group will be learning the basics of filmmaking via smartphone technology, and will learn to write scripts, create scenes and learn about storytelling through imagery, framing and dialogue.

The final week features the third Breaka-Leg course, where younger students will explore storytelling through a variety of skills and exercises before sharing an original play at the end. The older group will end with an acting workshop that focuses on creating memorable characters and the skills needed to sell it.

Tuition is $325 per week, and scholarships are available to ensure program fees are not a barrier to participation. To register or to learn more about the scholarship program, visit https://hangartheatre.org/ education/school-age/next-generationschool-of-theatre/.

The Cayuga Chamber Orchestra embraces the new normal with hybrid concerts

A

By Jane Dieck mann

s we all know, the 2020–21 concert season has been more than challenging — and mostly nonexistent — for musical organizations worldwide.

Here in Ithaca, our local and greatly admired Cayuga Chamber Orchestra decided to meet the major issues surrounding the performance of live concerts in public places head-on while abiding by governmental restrictions and the safety concerns of everyone involved. Live concerts would be presented if possible, and audiences also had the

option of simultaneous online streaming. The season brochure, published in October 2020, announced a reduced number of concerts, of shorter duration and priced accordingly. The musicians themselves stated that they really wanted to perform live and, at the very least, to give this approach a try.

With two scheduled concerts remaining, here is the story of the orchestra’s 44th season and the ways in which this brave enterprise worked out. Last Sunday afternoon, April 25, the third programmed concert in the Chamber Music Series called “French Masters” took place in the First Presbyterian Church (since the very beginning of the season, concerts were moved to this venue, the most spacious available locally). As printed in the brochure, it featured two first-chair members of the orchestra joined by pianists Miri Yampolsky and Xak Bjerken, performing the Violin Sonata No. 1 by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921) and the Trio for Piano, Violin and Violoncello by Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). As I was attending live for the first time, I could be part of an uplifting and truly wonderful experience.

AN ADVENTUROUS SEASON

The orchestra’s leading violinist, Christina Bouey, performed both works and was joined in the Ravel by principal cellist Rosemary Elliott. Bouey joined the orchestra as concertmaster in 2015, stepping into the very large shoes of Linda Case, who retired after more than 30 years and who, incidentally, originated the Sunday afternoon Chamber Music Series.

For her début, she wowed the audience with an exceptional performance of the Beethoven violin concerto. Elliott, on the faculty at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, is a core member of the CCO’s chamber music ensemble and serves on the Artistic Advisory Committee. She has also performed as a soloist.

Both well known locally, Yampolsky and Bjerken are founding co-directors of the international music festival Mayfest, held annually at and around Cornell since its inaugural year in 2007. Because of the pandemic, this popular event has been on hold for the last two seasons. Both pianists are on the faculty at Cornell: Yampolsky as a senior lecturer in music in charge of the chamber music program, and Bjerken has been professor of piano since 2012. Both have performed with the CCO in the past.

About three weeks ago I spoke with CCO’s music director Cornelia Laemmli Orth, who at that time was in her native Switzerland. She was especially eager to talk about the upcoming concert, the artists and the featured works.

Not among the most familiar chamber music pieces, they complement and contrast each other in interesting ways. The Saint-Saëns sonata got off to a rather rocky start, Orth told me, as the soloist chosen by the composer — the then-famous Belgian violinist Martin Pierre Marsick (who, by the way, played a Stradivarius) — found it “bewildering.” Many violinists since have declared it unplayable.

It premiered in 1885, with Saint-Saëns at the keyboard. A virtuoso pianist, known as the “French Beethoven,” he had a huge career,

I t h a c a T i m e s 11

CAYUGA CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Contin u ed From Page 11

performing all the Mozart concertos in London in a series of concerts. Orth added that we were very fortunate to have two such outstanding musicians available to play this formidable work. This proved to be true. Bouey came out with quite a score, an accordion sheaf of pages on two music stands, assuring us that it looked longer than it was. She made it sound easy, and Yamplowsky, a pianist with extraordinary technique and strong musicality, matched her rendition with equal ease. In four movements, the sonata has a world of different sounds, warm yet agitated in the first movement, a gentle and peaceful adagio second movement, and a third movement that opens dance-like in threequarter time. Although clearly challenging , it wasn’t until the fourth movement that one understood the designation “unplayable.” Marked allegro molto, it sounded like “The Flight of the Bumblebee” because the violin fairly buzzes at the start, and then the piano gets all those notes and the music sparkles. It was an amazing achievement.

The Trio for Piano, Violin and Violoncello by Ravel, performed by Bouey, Elliott and Bjerken, is “one of the best piano trios ever written,” according to Orth. Composed in 1914, Ravel hurried to finish it just in time to enlist for the Great War (he never made it to combat because, by one

report, he was underweight by two kilos).

The work demands virtuoso playing from all three instruments, and these musicians performed with great understanding and exceptionally beautiful sound. It was especially interesting to watch them, both as individuals and as an ensemble playing off each other. You can hear the way Ravel gives space to each instrument, bringing out its entire range and with no one blocking the sound of the other (just think of the amazing third-movement passacaglia).

When I asked Bjerken about it, he wrote,

“it is my favorite piano trio, bar none. It sounds like a whole orchestra, the way it’s written — so colorful and texturally layered.” Moreover, it was deeply moving at times — the end of the first movement is heart-rending and poignant; the passacaglia, after many passages with instruments in pairs, closes with the piano at the very bottom of the keyboard, the sound dark, all alone.

It was an exciting and successful concert, and being there in person continued on page 16

ver since Karrie Moore was hired after the 2015 season as the head coach of women’s lacrosse at Ithaca College, the program has been on an upward arc. Coming into the 2020 season, coach Moore and the seniors that had been with her since they all started together were looking to accomplish big things. They roared out to a 5–0 start — taking down ranked teams one after another — and then… Well, you know…

That five-game win streak has now been stretched to 16 games, as the Bombers have run the table heading into this week’s Liberty League tournament. Ithaca’s 11-0 season has, fittingly, earned them home-field advantage for the tournament, and they will face off against St. Lawrence on Wednesday. Given they win that semi-final match up, the Bombers will play for the L.L. title on Saturday, and for the automatic bid that comes with it.

That automatic bid is an important

goal, because as Moore said, “They have reduced the size of the NCAA tournament field this year, and, it’s uncertain how many at-large bids will be given out.”

I asked Moore if the Bombers have ever been ranked as high as #7, and whether such a lofty ranking serves as a motivator or a distraction. She replied, “For us, a high ranking is exciting, but we don’t talk about it very much. We expect excellence, it’s what we prepare for and play for, and the ranking is just a function of that.”

Moore talked about what she calls “a great senior class.” She said, “There are twelve seniors, and four are co-captains [Jacqui Hallack, Caroline Grant, Molly Nodiff and Megan Motkowski], and we have gotten awesome leadership from them. I am grateful to them and to so many others. It took a lot of work from a lot of people to get us on the

ozens of mundane moments in life coalesce into a larger meaning in Roy Andersson’s “About Endlessness” (Magnolia Pictures, 2019, 78 min.), opening in Cinemapolis’ “virtual cinema” this April 30.

Andersson has been making his own idiosyncratic art films — and a ton of commercials — for decades; I’ve also seen his “You, the Living” when it screened a few years back at Cornell Cinema. In “About Endlessness,” he shoots every scene as its own static master shot as Jim Jarmusch did in “Stranger Than Paradise” (1984): everything plays out from one point of view, cuts to black, and then the next scene plays.

A female narrator adds enigmatic descriptions of what we’re seeing and what it means.

A man emerges from a subway entrance and talks about

meeting someone he went to school with as a child. Outside a café with music playing, three women saunter through, stop and perform an impromptu dance. In a foggy, windswept and rainy field, a man stops and ties his daughter’s shoelaces. A man and woman sit in a bar and sip champagne as Billie Holiday sings “All of Me” on the soundtrack.

Another man and woman float in the sky as the city below is being bombed and destroyed, and this is the only shot in the film that has any camera movement, and it’s almost imperceptible.

There is a narrative of sorts, but it’s really more about the gradual tour through many seemingly routine moments in the life of human beings. It’s sad and odd and funny, just like life. Andersson keeps things moving with this series of still paintings, and because you’re follow-

It’s a good time when Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon decide to do some travelling and eating. The hook for “The Trip to Greece” (IFCRevolution Films-Baby Cow-Small Man-SKY, 2020, 103 min.), the fourth and final film in collaboration with director Michael Winterbottom, is that Coogan and Brydon retrace the steps of Odysseus in “The Odyssey” from Troy to Ithaca; as Brydon says at the outset, the Odyssey was a 10-year journey, and he and Coogan have been making this “Trip” series for a decade.

There’s always a slight tension between these two complicated comedians, and they do like to wind each other up. The formula is well established: the duo eats at a series of the best restaurants wherever they are, and there’s much dueling celebrity impressions and one-upping each other. Marlon Brando and Ray Winstone are favored this time around, and since Coogan recently played Stan Laurel in 2018’s “Stan & Ollie,” Hardy has a lot of fun doing Laurel and Hardy with him, but this time it’s Tom Hardy.

As usual, Winterbottom shoots in a fast and loose documentary style, but all aspects of Coogan and Bry-

It’s come to this. Robert De Niro, star of Martin Scorsese classics like “Goodfellas,” “Raging Bull” and “Taxi Driver,” is reduced to starring in movies like “The War with Grandpa” (Universal-Marro Films, 2020, 94 min.). Aside from the flawed technique of “The Irishman,” I’d say De Niro’s been slumming for more than 20 years; his last great films are “Heat” (1995) and “Ronin” (1998). This turkey provides no actual reason that a seemingly decent kid snaps and starts battling with his grandfather when the old dude comes to stay with his daughter’s family — and takes the kid’s room.

Big deal, I hear you say. You’re right.

The whole thing is so dumb.

It’s a coin toss as to what makes my soul ache more. On the one side, it’s a shame that a whole new generation only knows Robert De Niro as a faint parody of himself in lame family comedies like this. On the flip side, it bums me out that talented people like De Niro, Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour and Cheech Marin have to pay the rent by acting in lazy, lousy, sub- “Home Alone” comedies like “The War With Grandpa”.

The coach also had high praise for Bailey Herr, who was a senior on the 2020 team that had the rug pulled out from under it, so to speak.

“Bailey was a dominant player and probably would have been an AllAmerican,” Moore offered. “She has been helping out this year, and it has been great to have her still connected to the program.” ● ● ●

More on Tim Locastro, who is preparing to come off the MLB 10day injured list…

After setting an all-time Major League Baseball record by stealing 28 bases without getting caught to start his career, Locastro was thrown out (by about a millimeter) attempting to pilfer second base against the Washington Nationals on April 17.

Employing his customary Kamikaze, full-speed, flat-out, head-first slide, Locastro caught his left hand on the base and dislocated his pinky finger.

I talked to George Valesente — who recruited Tim out of Auburn, New York, and coached him for four

years at Ithaca College — and the now-retired coach told me (after I questioned the call), “Yes, he was out, and after that slide his bone was sticking out of the skin. He popped it back in, they stitched it up and he’ll be fine.”

I have been watching a lot of Locastro highlight clips on YouTube, and I implore any athlete or coach to do the same. The guy plays like we all like to think we would play if given the chance, and the list of clips keeps growing. “Tim Locastro Makes History.” “Tim Locastro Highlights, 2019 and 2020.” “Tim Locastro Hitting Infield Singles.” “Tim Locastro Hitting Home Runs.” “Why Tim Locastro Should Be Your Favorite Weird Player.” I want every young player to watch these clips and make a commitment to bring some of that passion and desire to whatever they do in whatever sports they play.

Locastro’s is a blue-collar, underdog story — a Division III player drafted in the 13th round — and while many are surprised by his success in The Bigs, Valesente is not one of them.

“Tim just does whatever it takes to win,” he told me. “He was exactly the same way when he played for us.”

made all the difference in the world.

The full number of seats allowed in the sanctuary (50) were taken, plus 65 log-ins (many with probably two or three also watching), making an estimated total of over 100 from home.

Looking back on the season so far, even though the pandemic bore down, only one major presentation listed in the program for the entire season — the family-friendly holiday entertainment, “Comfort & Joy” — had to be canceled. The Chamber Music Series Concert No. 1 on October 25 was performed as announced, with five musicians from the orchestra — Wendy Mehne, principal flute; John Lathwell, principal oboe and soloist; Kirsten Marshall, violin; Josh Lohner, viola — and Ithaca College’s Vadim Serebryany, piano. A few hardy souls ventured out to join them, about 25 people in all were in the church. The very presence of these truly courageous adventurers — both musicians and audience — encouraged Orth, who reported that she could feel the joy coming all the way to her home in Tennessee.

On November 19, the first Family & Storytime Concert, recorded at the Autumn Leaves Bookstore’s upstairs café area, was shown online. Cellists Sera Smolen and Elizabeth Simkin, along with narrator Stephen Nunley from the Kitchen Theatre, presented “Gustavo the Shy Ghost.” It was a great success, with 150 people logging in, many of them with families, making the estimated count at least 200. The second Family & Storytime Concert, on March 18, starred principal flutist Mehne and guest narrator Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, chair of Tompkins County Legislature and GIAC executive director. Featuring a folktale from India called “The Flute,” it was broadcast from the Odyssey Bookstore on West Green Street. Both stores, newly added to the CCO’s list of local sponsors, provided their spaces for free.

A sad event brought a change for the first scheduled program of the Orchestral Series, the death in January of the CCO’s major contributor, Percy Browning, whose philanthropy extended to many arts organizations in our community. A special tribute concert on March 20 was organized and programmed by the orchestra’s Artistic Advisory Committee (the conductor, the executive director and four orchestra members). A string quintet — violinists Bouey and Susan Waterbury, violist Victoria Miskolczy, cellist Elliott, and double bass Max Michael Jacob (four of them principals) — presented a varied selection of modern music by mostly women composers, works and artists Percy admired.

The one local composer, the popular Dana Wilson from Ithaca College, when asked for a copy of his score, promptly donated it. Included in the program were brief tributes and reminiscences, seven in all, from friends, family and colleagues. About 42 people were in the audience and, with performers and volunteers added in, the live count came to 50, the number allowed in the church, “a full house,” according to CCO executive director (and violinist) Susan Spafford. She also counted about 80 to 85 log-ins, and estimates that more than 125 were watching from home. It was a unique experience, smaller selections of unfamiliar composers, music you wanted to hear again. It was a perfect tribute.

The programs for the final concerts in May and June, again in the Presbyterian church, and with the double option of attending live or online, have been announced.

On Sunday afternoon, May 23, at 3 p.m., a larger number of musicians (about 20) will be performing, not all together but in smaller ensembles.

On this program called “The Return of the Orchestral Series” are the Telemann Concerto for Oboe in E minor, with principal oboe Lathwell as soloist, the Nonet (scored for winds and strings) by Martinu, and Mendelssohn’s beloved Octet for Strings.

For “Orchestral Celebration,” on Sunday, June 12, Orth will return to Ithaca to conduct almost all of the orchestra — again divided into smaller groups. Because more musicians are participating and space is still limited, the same program will be performed twice, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.to accommodate a larger in-person audience. Music chosen comprises selected movements of the “Antiche Danze et Arie” by Respighi; two versions of the movement Summer from “The Four Seasons,” one (very famous) by Vivaldi, the other

by Spanish composer and guitarist Piazzolla; Copland’s “Quiet City”; and, to end with a flare, the chamber orchestra arrangement of Stravinsky’s dazzling score for his ballet “The Firebird.” The traditional Silent Auction will happen, but completely online. To keep posted, and to sign up for tickets to the concerts, go to www.ccoithaca.org. It’s wise to book early for both live concerts as space remains limited.

Some final icing on the cake will be provided by the CCO Youth Orchestra, conducted by violinist Kirsten Marshall, on June 13. More information to come.

We really can be deeply grateful to our orchestra — with all their planning, arranging, adjusting — for bringing us as much live music as possible. We are proud of them and of their efforts too. Let us support them in any way we can.

JOB OPENINGS

Rasa Spa is excited to announce the opening of job postings at all three of their locations: Ithaca, Watkins Glen, and for the grand opening of The Spa at the Inns of Aurora in Aurora, N.Y. Rasa expects to fill dozens of roles in the coming months, with the greatest focus on its new location at The Inns of Aurora. Rasa’s locations in Ithaca and Watkins Glen have enjoyed consistent demand despite challenging restrictions and economic conditions, and the new Aurora location continues the well-respected brand’s growth. The state-of-the-art facility promises to be the Finger Lakes region’s premier wellness destination, creating local jobs and driving local tourism. Creating these exciting employment opportunities and tourism revenue, at a time when they are particularly needed, feels especially poignant and reflects Rasa and its partners’ commitment to the communities in which they operate.
