200 Years Of The Erie Canal

JOHNSON MUSEUM OF ART

Ce l e b r at e T he Legacy of the great waterway.

By Matt Butler

he Erie Canal is well past its prime, but its profound importance is permanently etched in the early economic foundations upon which domestically importing and exporting led to unprecedented avenues of commerce throughout the nation and New York. Its completion was a massive success of technology of that era, both during building and the canal’s operation. To celebrate the 200th year since construction of the Canal started in 1817, a string of events will be held throughout the summer, with a litany of area groups bringing together the arts, history and festivities to mark the occasion. This summer will only be the beginning of the commemorations: the construction of the canal in its entirety took eight years, so expect celebrations of the openings of different Erie Canal portions and extensions to pop up on your calendar throughout the next several years in different parts of New York, including the legendary Wedding of the Waters, set to hit 200 years in 2025.

B i c e n t e n n i a l Bash: Fish, F loat a n d Fo rge at the La n d i n g June 17 - Chittenango, NY Obviously, this event covers all of the normal community event bases, in that there’s a little relaxation, a little entertainment, and a blacksmith. You heard me, blacksmiths will be making community bike racks on site while interacting with the audience. The day starts with a bit of friendly competition for the youths, with a fishing derby in the morning and a model boat building and race after that. There’s also an antique canoe display and a chance for a leisurely canoe/kayak/other float down the canal.

Wat e r M u s i c NY

July 2-8 – Albany, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Little Falls, Baldwinsville, Brockport and Lockport (one performance in each city per day, respectively) The Albany Symphony will be traveling the Erie Canal, performing free concerts every night for a week to celebrate not only the canal’s bicentennial but the Fourth of July holiday as well. The excursion is termed “a unique cross-regional experience that will highlight vibrant communi-

ties, emerging artistic talent and the power of the arts.”

Stand Up Paddleboarding The annual race to b e t he b e st o n t wo fe e t By Matt Butler

ver looked at an aquatic activity requiring even the most minute amount of skill or athletic prowess and thought “I can’t do that?” Ever watched countless others learn that very same lesson the hard, and usually hilarious, way? Don’t worry, there’s still some hope. The fourth annual Cayuga Lake SUP Cup, a competition attracting Stand-Up Paddleboarding talent from across the country, will be held from July 28-30 at Myers Park in Lansing, New York. Its website’s claim that it is the the “largest freshwater SUP race east of Lake Tahoe” might sound intimidating, but the Cayuga Lake SUP Cup isn’t just for experts of the craft. The event has blossomed into a multi-pronged celebration of activities both water-based and, for those who prefer it, on terra firma. There’s an environmentally themed movie night, camping, log-rolling and all packed into Thursday night through Sunday. Friday is mostly a clinical day to learn from some of the best in the sport, while Saturday is consumed by the main events: the races. There are five divisions, depending on what kind of paddleboard is being used, and two competitive races: a Paddle to the Falls elite level six mile triangle across Cayuga Lake from Myers Park to Taughannock State Park and back, along with a three mile Recreation Race to follow in the wake of the elite racers. The top three overall finishers of the Paddle to the Falls race split a $2,000 prize. For those just looking for fun, there’s also a kids’ race, a family race and even the SUP and Pup, a stamina competition to see how long boarders can keep themselves and their dogs upright before capsizing. After the races are done for the day, a luau complete with a Hawaiian-themed feast is held, marking the unofficial end of the SUP Cup. Attendance to the festival is free, and throughout Saturday food and drink is available from CollegeTown Bagels, Agava, Ithaca Bakery, Forty Weight Roasters and Cortland Beer. Stand-up paddleboarding is a relatively new phenomenon around central New York. Paul Wiech, who founded the race, said he thought some people deemed it a West Coast-

only activity initially, and that the customarily cruel Ithaca winters deterred people further even as the sport grew in popularity and prestige beyond the sunny beaches of Hawaii and California. Some SUP groups sprouted up around the Finger Lakes the last several years that pre-date the Ithaca group, such as one in Rochester, but things have moved more quickly since then. “Around 2012, [stand-up paddleboarding] was the fastest growing water sport in the country,” Wiech said. “In Ithaca, it’s been a little bit slower, but lately it’s started growing here.” North Carolina’s April Zilg, ranked the world’s ninth best female stand-up paddleboarder, will be returning to defend her Cayuga crown yet again, though she stops by beforehand to run four hours of boarding clinics on Friday. By Sunday, the competitive spirits have all been spent on the course, which means it’s obviously time for aquatic yoga. “As far as the sport, it’s really something that if people take the chance they find out it’s not as hard as they thought it was,” Wiech said. “As far as the race, it’s a ton of people watching these athletes you can talk to, vendors, sponsors with things you can try… It’s a pretty good vibe, I think.” As the sport has grown, Wiech said Ithaca’s interest, and by extension their event, has steadily swelled as well. This year, they expect over 200 racers alone to attend the event, on par with last year’s participation; their weekly Tuesday night time trials – a community building night of SUPping, cheap beer and hot dogs as Wiech puts it – have grown to a peak of almost 50 participants at points last year from a total of three on their first night years ago. Wiech, who started with kayaks before moving onto paddling, said being out on the water can have a therapeutic effect for a person, particularly when not involved in competition but just out in the open space. “For me, water is a mentally stabilizing element that you can use to smooth out your rough edges sometimes,” Wiech said. “You can see into the water, and when you want to get in, you just jump in. It’s so simple. [...] And racing helps keep people motivated and stay active.”

he Cornell Botanic Gardens step into summer with a new name. Formerly the Cornell Plantations, the gardens will kick off seasonal events with a title that embraces diversity in both the cultural and biological senses. Executive Director Christopher Dunn finalized the name change this past October, completing a nearly 10-year-long process of brainstorming, proposing, changing and planning. The word “plantation” — along with its denotation of a field growing a single type of plant — is often associated with American slavery and black oppression, which does not reflect the cultural history the Cornell Botanic Gardens highlight. “It seemed that the time was right to look at the name,” Dunn said. “It doesn’t really fit for what we do, nor is a plantation a botanic garden. … Any botanic garden is about diversity: it’s about showcasing the rich diversity of plants that we can grow in this area.” Honing in on diversity, summer events begin June 17 with guided garden and gorge trail tours. The gardens integrate both cultural and biological diversity through different plants. Each flower, herb, tree or any other plant in the garden has a story that talks of the plant’s roots — both in the literal and metaphorical sense. One of the highlighted plants, the peony,

grows in the garden before a book display. In this book, the peony is described within the context of cultures in countries such as China, Japan and Greece. The same flower exists in several parts of the world, and each display connects these cultures through botanical sciences. “Sometimes you see these beautiful blue and white porcelain vases from Japan that depict peonies on them,” Dunn said. “So we can interpret the peony — not only in terms of its horticultural value or where it came from — but how it has been used by different people and different cultures. We get people to appreciate plants not just for their own sake but also for how the plant is important to them.” Sonja Skelly, director of education and communications, says each person can have a connection to a certain plant. She asks visitors about their favorite flowers and for their stories behind them. Perhaps one person favors tulips because of family memories of gardening while another can favor tiger lillies because those were the flowers received after each school play growing up. Each plant has a rich history. After the community becomes acquainted with the gardens, participants can begin learning and volunteering. Community members can take part in “weeding therapy” Tuesday evenings beginning July 11, where Ithacans can help keep the garden in order while simultane-

Christopher Dunn (Photo: Casey Martin) ously learning about the plants and gardening techniques. The botanic gardens also plan to celebrate invasive species week. The gardens work to combat pests in the natural areas, and this summer the hemlock woolly adelgid will be highlighted. Hemlock trees line the gorges, and the trees are often in danger of hemlock woolly adelgids taking over and killing the plants. The goal of the hike is to educate Ithacans on the efforts they can take to fight the invasive species. “We’re working to protect the hemlocks: they’re part of our nature’s flora,” Skelly said. “They’re these little woolly bugs, and they cover all the trees and kill them basically. If we lose the hemlocks, it’s really going to disrupt the ecosystem.” Rounding out the summer events will be photography and illustration workshops. In addition, the gardens will host a book talk from local author Linda Spielman regarding her latest book on animal tracking. On July 27, the annual Booze and Botany cocktail party will

take place in the herb garden. Cornell Botanic Garden members will sip on drinks featuring herbs from the gardens and cocktails provided by Agava restaurant. Each of the events aim to bring the Ithaca community together while also broadening the community’s understanding of cultural and biological diversity. “If you live in a particular area of the world and you don’t move around much … when you see these things start to change around — birds disappearing or plants aren’t flowering the way they’re supposed to, thing of which you have no control — these changes start to cause cultural shifts,” Dunn said. “These communities that have been in tact with their environment for thousands and thousands of years are now being shattered. … We’re doing this for the survival of humankind and human cultural diversity.”

The gardens are open each day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

hey you are, traveling up a winding hill in the midst of a perfectly green countryside. The wind is light, but real. The scene is tranquil and you continue up towards an architecturally resonant little building at the top, sitting there like an ark in the middle of a fairy tale. You feel strangely at ease. Where am I, you ponder? “I love coming to work every day, I really do,” mused Lesley Williamson, Executive Director of the Saltonstall Foundation of the Arts. “I’m very lucky. Six years ago I had just received a Maters Degree in Arts Management and this was sort of the result of my first serious job hunt. It’s worked out amazingly.” Wi l l i ams on works in the little building at the top of the magically winding hill, running the Saltonstall Foundation: an art colony started by Connie Saltonstall, just before she passed away. Saltonstall had hoped her home and property could become a retreat where artists and writers could pursue their dreams and visions. It has. The Foundation runs a summer juried residency program every May to September that sees varying artists from all over New York State come for two and four-week fellowship residencies. The jury process is unique. “It’s a fascinating really,” noted Williamson. “The only things the jurors see are the artist’s samples. They don’t know anything about them. It was designed to be egalitarian and to be open and accessible, so that no artist gets intimated. The age spread is about 24 to 72. It’s really great.” Five artists at a time reside on the property during a residency. The mediums they work in are varied. Typically one poet, one photographer/filmmaker, one prose writer, and two visual artists make up each selected group. The variance is the key to the residency. The opportunity to connect the artist’s physical space with their mental space is one of the

ultimate goals. “The sculptor that’s currently here, really has a lot in common with the poet who’s currently here,” Williamson said. “Their processes are actually really similar, and they’ve found that they have the same challenges in some ways. It’s always fascinating to see the way artists of different mediums come together.” At the end of their residencies the artists combine for an open house that’s opened to the public. People get a chance to explore the property and each artist’s space. This summer there will be open houses July 16, August 20, September 10 and 26. When November hits, Saltonstall open its doors to the local creative community. “Out biggest connection to Ithaca is what happens between October and April,” Williamson explained. “When the jury portion program ends, we rent the spaces out for 25 dollars a night. You basically send me an email saying you Lesley Williamson want to reserve a painting studio for three nights in the middle of November, bring a little bag of groceries and you basically get this…without the chef,” she laughed. Williamson looked out the building’s large south facing window, a heaven-like scene in widescreen. The sun was shining inside like a ray of pureness. The place felt magical and the abundance of green grass and rolling hills swept your thoughts up and away. “When you walk into a place and you feel the space is really cared for, you kind of feel like you’re being cared for,” Williamson said. “That’s the kind of environment that we want to provide up here.”

All open house events are free of charge and open to the public. For more information visit saltonstall.org or email artscolony@saltonstall.org

Escape Around The Lake

SHARED PURPOSE. MUTUAL VALUES.

We’re in this together.

A g u i d e to 650 miles of tr ails a nd outdoor fun By Brad Edmondson

ou have a free day this weekend and the weather looks great. You hate crowds and you’re on a tight budget, so the state parks are not an option. All you really need is peace and quiet, a place to launch a kayak, and a trail that’s suitable for a city bike. Where can you go? Until a few weeks ago, it wasn’t easy for Finger Lakes residents to find new places to paddle, cycle, or hike. But a new website, GoFingerLakes.org, changes the game. Check the appropriate boxes and you’ll learn about places like the 6,315-acre High Tor Wildlife Area at the south end of Canandaigua Lake, where you can paddle along the West River, ride on the Lehigh Valley Rail Trail, get lost in an expansive upland plateau, or wade up mysterious Clark Gully which, according to a Seneca Indian legend, contains a crevice from which their ancestors emerged to populate the earth. The website has everything you need — maps, campsite locations, trail descriptions, and gorgeous photos — and, like High Tor, it’s free. GoFingerLakes.org is a free public service from the Finger Lakes Land Trust, which has worked for 28 years to conserve land and promote quiet outdoor recreation across a

open lands, and to inspire them to support the mission of the Land Trust and other conservation organizations. The Land Trust, which counts 2,300 families as members, hopes to attract more young people. It is also looking for commercial sponsors so the site can stay free. The big idea is to accelerate the pace of conservation. “Many people come to an understanding of land and water conservation when they fall in love with a beautiful trail or a particular forest,” says Kelly Makosch, director of development and communications, who lead the team that launched the site. “Go Finger Lakes will help people appreciate and protect the wild places that make our region so special.” One of these places is the Bahar Preserve, a 1.6-mile walk to the shore of Skaneateles Lake that begins with a 100-foot waterfall and continues through a hidden gorge formed by Bear Swamp Creek. Another is Lick Brook, just south of Ithaca, where a secret gorge conceals waterfalls with 25, 47, and 93-foot drops. These are among more than 30 preserves owned by the Land Trust, which protects more than 20,000 acres of forests, gorges, wetlands, lakeshores, and farmlands. It took more than a year, five grants, and

a lot of desk time to build GoFingerLakes.org. Zepp and Makosch worked with communications consultant Jeff Katris and a team of volunteers, including more than a dozen photographers and writers who contributed stunning images, immersive videos, and authoratative short articles on wildlife and natural history. The site locations were curated, mapped, and interpreted by Land Trust staffers and outdoorsman Tim Starmer, author of Five Star Trails: Finger Lakes and Central New York. The team really sweated the details, and it shows. GoFingerLakes.org works seamlessly with mapping services so you know exactly where to park, where the hidden canoe slip is, what the trail markers look like, and what you’ll find along the way.

Finger Lakes Footlights T h e fi n est ch oices for su mmer theatre. By Bryan VanCampen

ummertime in the Finger Lakes is a magical time. It’s also a great time for theatre. The Hangar Theatre opens its 43rd season with Ayad Akhtar’s Disgraced (June

15 - 24). A 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner, Akhtar’s explosive drama explores what it’s like to be a Muslim-American living in a post 9/11 world. Then it’s “Comedy Tonight” in the Greco-Roman

farce A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (June 29 - July 15). A tale of a slave who will do anything to secure his freedom, this hilarious musical mixes lusty old men, true love and cross-dressing, with a script by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Blending jazz, ballet and musical theatre dance styles with popular music, Mimi Quillin’s Dégagé (July 20 – 29) tells the story of The Dancer as she becomes the artist-in-residence in a hospice. Inspired by the patients and their unique stories, The Dancer comes to terms with her own artistry and humanity. A world pre-

miere that intertwines dance with theatre and shows us how we can all just let go. Larry Shue’s The Foreigner (August 3 – 12) is an inspired farce about the perils of prejudice and the importance of good friends. Stranded at an inn and terrified of strangers, a milquetoast Englishman does the only logical thing: pretends that he doesn’t speak any English. Of course, nothing makes the staff and guests want to confide in him more. Joe Calarco’s Shakespeare’s R & J (August 17 – 26) is a powerful adaptation of the Bard’s greatest romantic tragedy. Shakespeare’s language has never felt so contemporary in this retelling of the most famous romance ever told. Cortland Repertory Theatre’s 45th season gets off on the right foot with The 39 Steps (June 7-17).

Based on the classic French comedy – remade in America as The Birdcage – La Cage Aux Folles (June 21-July 8) is a multiple TonyAward winning musical. After twenty years of un-wedded bliss, Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse, get a bit of both when Georges’ son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a closed-minded politician. A stage version of the 1984 Kevin Bacon film, Footloose (July 12-29) invites you to kick off your Sunday shoes and cut loose. City boy Ren thinks his life is over when he is forced to move to a rural backwater town. But things are worse than he could have imagined, because the town bans dancing of any kind. CRT’s children’s show this summer will be the literary favorite The Velveteen Rabbit (Jluy 15 & 24). In the imaginative world of toys, life begins when humans leave the room. When one group of toys discovers a velveteen rabbit, they learn what it means to be truly loved by their owner. Then comes the annual murder mystery – always a favorite with audiences - Agatha Christie’s Appointment with Death (August 2-12). While touring Jerusalem, an international group of travelers, including a young English doctor, her French colleague, a debonair American, and the belligerent Lady Westholme are joined by the domineering Mrs. Boynton and her four stepchildren who are kept firmly under her thumb. On a sightseeing tour to the desert, one of the travelers is murdered and someone is responsible. A regional premiere, Nana’s Naughty Knickers (August 16-26) comes up next. Bridget and her Grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York City for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five borough area! CRT’s season closer, Life Could Be A Dream (August 30-September 16) features the greatest “doo-wop” hits of the ‘60’s. Meet Denny and the Dreamers, a fledgling doo-wop singing group preparing to enter the Big Whopper Radio contest to realize their dreams of making it to the big time! Trouble comes in the form of Lois, who arrives to put some polish on the boys. Denny falls in love, Wally falls in line, Eugene falls apart, and along comes handsome heartthrob Skip to send the whole situation spinning. The ‘60s hits say it all: “Fools Fall in Love”, “Tears on My Pillow”, “Runaround Sue”, “Earth Angel”, “Unchained Melody”, and many more. Merry-Go-Round Playhouse goes all Damon Runyan in the classic musical Guys and Dolls (June 7 - 28). From the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana to the sewers of New York City, gangsters and missionaries team up for an unforgettable adventure. This bubbly musical is full of laugh out loud comedy, zany antics, soaring melodies and unabashed romance as its lovers quarrel and make up as only guys and dolls can do. Based on the fascinating true story and courtroom drama surrounding the famous trial of Leo Frank, Parade (July 5 – 26) is a powerful and compelling musical that captures a storied moment in American history. Leo Frank, the meek manager of the National Pencil Factory in Marietta, GA, was falsely accused and charged with a heinous crime. His trial became a national

news item and was sensationalized in the press. In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (August 2 – 23), it’s the 1970s in Gilbert, Texas. Miss Mona and her girls are under fire from the religious televangelist Melvin P. Thorpe and all hell breaks loose on the chicken ranch. Based on the true story of a legendary Texas brothel, this funny, sexy, high energy song and dance comedy about the oldest profession will laugh you right out of your seat. Ghost, The Musical (August 30 - September 16) is an adaptation of the 1990 hit paranormal romance. Sam and Molly are moving into their new NYC loft when Sam is killed by a street thug. He finds himself trapped between worlds, but with a newly discovered power to communicate through select people. Enter Oda Mae Brown, a psychic claiming to have “the gift,” and the hilarious shenanigans begin.

Always...Patsy Cline (September 21 - October 11) is a vehicle for one of America’s biggest musical legends, Patsy Cline, who catapulted to fame and sold over 10 million records in her short but legendary musical career. Always… Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy’s friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger, with a story taken right from their pen-pal correspondence. The show focuses on the fateful evening at Houston’s Esquire Ballroom when Seger learns of Cline’s death in a plane crash. What follows is an inspiring retrospective of her life and music with over 30 of her famous hits including “Walkin’ After Midnight” and her iconic hit, “Crazy.” Ithaca Shakespeare Company will pair the final installment of its five-play history cycle with one of the greatest romantic comedies ever penned. Richard III: The Winter Of Our Discontent (July 13, 15, 21, 23, 27, 29 at 6 pm) is the

grand finale in ISC’s epic series of Shakespeare’s English history plays The Wars of the Roses are over, the house of York has been victorious, and England is at peace...until Richard of Gloucester begins maneuvering against his own family to take the throne for himself. Then it’s a comic war of words and endless deceptions all in the name of love in Much Ado About Nothing(July 14, 16, 20, 22, 28, 30 at 6 pm). When Don Pedro and his soldiers arrive in sunny Messina for some much-needed R & R, love blossoms, and Beatrice and Benedick rekindle their merry war of wit. Don Pedro attempts to out-do Cupid by tricking Beatrice and Benedick into falling in love with each other, while Don John and his drunken henchmen scheme to ruin the marriage of their hated rival. All ISC shows are held at Treman Marina in Cass Park.

Dave Breeden, of Sheldrake Point.. (Photo: Casey Martin)

inot gris is a summer wine. Its fruit flavors are more restrained than those of a Riesling. It’s made entirely in steel, so it lacks the vanilla taste of oak aged wines like a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. And it’s drier than a Chenin Blanc or any of the hybrids that are popular in the Finger Lakes, like Seyval Blanc and Cayuga. It is, as Damiani Wine Cellars tasting room manager Michael Cimino says, “a real crowd pleaser.” Cimino, who came to the Finger Lakes from New York City, said that Pinot gris has been a staple on wine lists in New York restaurants for 25 years. According to Sheldrake Point Vineyard winemaker Dave Breeden, there has been a growing demand for his Cayuga Lakegrown Pinot gris, which he could attribute in part to his winery’s increasing penetration into the New York City market. Until 2014 the grape was used as part of the Sheldrake Point blend called Luckystone White, but since then they have bottled everything they grow as a varietal. In 2015 they bottled 862 cases, and it now outsells everything in their catalog with the exception of their rosé. Ventosa Vineyards, which is on the east side of Seneca Lake near Geneva, also sells it as a varietal. But they still use Pinot grigio fruit in a blended wine, making it part of their Vino Bianco, along with Chardonnay, Riesling, and Friulano grapes. The grape was originally developed in the Burgundy region of France. It is a mutation of the “mother grape” that also produced Pinot noir and Pinot blanc, although it is often said to be derived from Pinot noir. It was known as Fromenteau in the Middle Ages and is still called that in present-day Languedoc, France. By 1300 it was grown in Switzerland and was rediscovered in 18th century in the Rhine Valley, where it is known as Rülander. Elsewhere in Germany and in Austria it is called

Grauburgunder. It has many names throughout the world, but in the United States a lot of the more inexpensive bottles come from Italy where it is called Pinot grigio. In the Finger Lakes, most wineries go with gris, but Damiani, in honor of the owners’ Italian heritage, goes with grigio. Both gris and grigio translate as “gray,” and indeed the fruit is usually grayish red, but it varies widely. Winemaker Peter Becraft of Anthony Road noted that he regularly sees bunches that include mixtures of individual berries that range from bluish to nearly white. Most of the 16,000 acres of American Pinot grigio is grown in California and Oregon, but several Finger Lakes wineries grow small amounts of it. In addition to Sheldrake Point, the Peterson family—who call it Pinot grigio— grows it for both their Goose Watch label on Cayuga and for the Penguin Bay label on Seneca Lake. Very little is grown by Keuka Lake wine makers; only Dr. Frank produces a Pinot gris. That lake at a higher altitude and more shallow, Becraft noted, so it freezes over in the winter, losing the ameliorating effects of the open water at Cayuga and Seneca lakes. While Pinot grigio is a cool-climate grape, it is not the most cold hardy, according Becraft. He said while Anthony Road never has a problem with the vines planted near the lake by the Martini family in the late 1990s, the vineyard west of Route 14 has needed special measures to preserve the Pinot grigio vines. “We installed wind machines to circulate the cold air,” said Becraft. “There are some low spots in there where it settles on clear nights without wind.” Breeden, on the other hand, called the grape “reliable” at Sheldrake. Even though it is planted further up the hill away from the lake, they have not had Anthony Road’s problem with vine damage.

Pinot noir has famously tight bunches— teresting. Becraft agreed, but said that you have pinot is the French word for “pine cone”— to pay more for a good Italian Pinot grigio. which makes them susceptible to rot. Because Indeed, Finger Lakes bottles are priced like of its shared ancestry, Pinot grigio has similar better Venezio labels. tightness and thin skin. “If [rot] sets in early,” The Anthony Road winemaker described said Becraft, “when there is a lot of acid in the his approach as somewhere between the grapes, then it can turn to sour rot, and we’ll go French and Italian approaches. He also puts through and drop those grapes.” But if the rot aside a small portion of his juice to age it in oak develops later, he said, perhaps within a month barrels. Pinot grigio is—unlike Chardonnay or of harvest, when more sugars are present, then Sauvignon blanc—generally made entirely in Botrytis or “noble rot” may develop. Becraft steel. But Becraft tasted some Oregon Pinot and other winemakers are happy to work with gris that had been finished in oak and decided that in the winemaking process, where it can to try it.

Summer Sounds

he summer air has a magical breeze to it that collects your most vivid musical memories. Whether it’s thrashing some punk rock in your friend’s backyard in high school, listening to The Orb while rolling down the Pacific Coast Highway, or seeing Phish at Vernon Downs in ’98 (what an epic show), the summer air blows a mystical energy: timeless and true. Ithaca and The Finger Lakes Region has an insane amount of music going on this summer. Here are some of the free shows you attend in between all the ones you have to pay for. Up at the Cornell Arts Quad you can get some free action on Friday evenings starting July 14 with the jazzy Diana Leigh and the Savoy Stompers. The classical-pop quartet, Not From Wisconsin, offers their elaborate (but resonate) compositions July 28, and the everjoyous Annie and the Hedonists forge their Americana numbers on August 4. Rotary Ribs Rhythm & Blues Festival is happening July 15 through 17 at Deauville Island at Emerson Park in Auburn. Located at the foot of the spectacular Owasco Lake, this is the sort of festival summers were made for. Billy The Kid and The Regulators headlines Saturday night and legends Gap Mangione & The New Blue Band Sunday night, with support from acts like Funky Blu Roots, Buffalo’s The Maria Aurigema Band, Syracuse’s Carolyn Kelly Blues Band, Watkins Glen’s Startcat Willie & The Stray Cats, and Auburn’s Inside Job. Not only a banger of a music fest, but this is also a Kansas City Barbeque Society sanctioned and NY State Championship event. There’s a suggested donation to attend, but no required amount. Summer also brings the ever evolving and always entertaining CFCU Summer Concert Series to downtown Ithaca. Showcased at the Bernie Milton Pavilion, this summer long series happens every Thursday night starting in late June with performances by both local and regional acts. You get your musical “bang for your zero-bucks” with this thing, as rock, bluegrass, hip-hop, pop, reggae, dub, folk and Americana artists rage the city center hard each week through the middle of September. This year’s lineup includes names like The Blind

Conversations With A Winemaker M e e t h o sm e r’s newest c r e ator

By Peggy Haine

inemaker Julia Hoyle is tall and lanky, with generous features and an animated face whose expressiveness vouches for her love of her art. She moves with ease and grace among the barrels and vineyards of Hosmer Winery where she was appointed winemaker in January. The first time we met, she was fearlessly straddling the top of a twentyfoot-high stainless steel vat at Sheldrake Point Winery, deep-cleaning, prepping it for the coming year’s juice. She seemed equally fearless in the face of heavy equipment in motion. Winemaking can be dangerous work. Philadelphia born, Hoyle has traveled the world in search of learning, good works, and wine, ultimately returning to the Finger Lakes, where she had studied French and women’s studies at Geneva’s Hobart and William Smith College. She spent time in Senegal, where she studied sociology and then taught fourth grade at Dakar’s International School, and with her husband, Red Newt winemaker Shelby Russell, she has traveled through France as the two acquainted themselves with that country’s wine and food. During her college years she began her vintner’s path, working in Fox Run Vineyards’ tasting room, and it was there that respected winemaker Peter Bell took her under his wing to become her winemaking mentor. It was there that she met Russell, who was also working there. She also spent a harvest working with winemaker Vinny Aliperti at Atwater Estates Vineyards. Then, in the midst of her three-year tenure as assistant winemaker to yet another mentor, Dave Breeden at Sheldrake Point Winery, she took a sabbatical to work a season as a night-shift winemaker at Yalumba Winery in Australia’s Barossa wine region, eventually returning to the Finger Lakes to continue her work with Breeden. “Everything I’ve learned,” she said, “is through mentoring, asking the right people the right questions.” Remarking on the rare and happy culture of collegiality among Finger Lakes winemakers, she said, “There’ll always be people like me, like Kelby. As regions mature you lose some of that, but there are really great

Julia Hoyle. (Photo: Casey Martin) winemakers here who are willing to share information.” At Hosmer, whose wines have been hailed by the Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal, her shortterm aim is to wrap her mind around the Hosmer portfolio. While Hosmer has long been known for its luscious Cabernet Francs, longer term she’d like to see the Riesling side of things take off. “Riesling’s going to be the big thing,” she said. One Riesling she’s excited about is their Patrician Verona Riesling, named for one of Hosmer’s vineyards. Because Hoyle stops that wine’s fermentation by chilling the wine outside, then adding sulfur to kill off the yeast, it will be a little sweeter than some of the winery’s other Rieslings. She’s working on a Cabernet Franc too, and she and Hosmer are developing a new product, possibly a higher-end reserve. “I found about eight barrels that I thought were wonderful, and pared it down to four that worked well

together.” Great wine is all about the vineyard, until it comes time for blending, and therein lies the true winemaker’s art. Most of the reds, she said, will spend a fair bit of time in oak, developing their tannin profiles and textures, including the Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, and a hybrid red the winery uses in its estate blend. Their Lemberger, from a grape sometimes known as Blaufrankisch, that also does well in the Finger Lakes, remains unoaked for a fresher style that is a little more fruit forward. She is also working on a sparkling Cayugabased wine, and a rosé made from Pinot Noir. Both are made in the methode champenoise – the traditional French Champagne method that allows wine to ferment until all the sugars have been consumed by the yeast, discharges the yeast from the bottles’ necks, adds a dosage of the wine and perhaps some sugar, and then corks and cages the tops of the sturdy bottles for a further fermentation in glass, and that’s where those delightful bubbles come in. They also make a bubbly raspberry wine by the less time- and labor-consuming crémant method. She dreams of getting to better know the seventy acres of vineyards, working along with owner Cameron “Tunker” Hosmer, and she has recently hired a “cellar rat” helper, Hannah Schockner, and is showing her the ropes over the summer, while things are still relatively calm before the harvest. How has this sociology and women’s studies graduate risen to winemaker in one of the fastest-growing wine regions in the country? Winemaker Peter Bell said simply, “She gets the gestalt of winemaking. What separates a good aspirant winemaker from a task-oriented cellar hand is that they get the whole idea of this ensemble you’re conducting. It starts as a little quintet, winds up as an 88-piece orchestra. She has native intelligence, motivation, and communications skills, and by that I mean talking AND listening. She’s personable and tops it off with a big grin.” He added, “Winemaking is all about joy. The drinking of wine brings joy, and by extension the making of wine should also provide joy.”

A Trip Through Time R oa d T rip p in g Throu gh Upstate Hi story By Charley Githler

he Finger Lakes area was on the forefront of forces that molded much of American history in the 19th century and there are scores, if not hundreds, of state historical markers throughout the region. An excellent sampling of that history and those markers can be found driving around Cayuga Lake. The National Scenic Byways Program recognizes certain roads as ‘National Scenic Byways’ based on their archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and scenic qualities, and the route around Cayuga Lake has been officially so designated. Though it’s only 90 miles long, and mostly through farmland, there are 18 wineries, five craft breweries, a distillery, seven main parks, 17 bed & breakfasts, spectacular waterfalls, deep gorges, hiking, fishing, antique stores, and innumerable restaurants on the route itself. It’s a birder’s paradise, loaded with at least twenty historical markers, and the views of Cayuga Lake are sensational. The route is comprised of Routes 34, 34B, and 90 on the east side of Cayuga Lake, Routes 5 & 20 across the northern end of the lake, and Route 89 on the west side. (A map is available at www.cayugalake.com) It’s all two-lane state highways. Going counter-clockwise around the lake (north up the east side on routes 34, 34B and 90, and south down the west side on route 89), the views of Cayuga Lake tend to be more dramatic and sweeping. It makes an excellent two-day bicycle adventure. Park at a hotel or B&B anywhere on the route, ride halfway around the lake, and return to base camp the next day. Most of the ride is ideal biking. Heading north on Route 34 out of Ithaca can be a little tricky in the afternoon, when the traffic is heavier, but the rest of the ride is rolling hills and smooth roads with wide shoulders. Climbing north up Route 34 out of Ithaca and through Lansing, the road ends in a “T” at Route 34B, where a marker designates the landmark Rogues Harbor Inn on the corner. The three-story Greek Revival brick building was built in the 1830s and operates now as a bed & breakfast, restaurant, and craft brewery.

At various times during its illustrious career the inn has been a speakeasy, a stagecoach stop, and a place of refuge for fleeing slaves. It’s been a fixture in the local landscape since its earliest days and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Further north, in the hamlet of King Ferry, where the route turns off Route 34B and onto Route 90, many of the houses and buildings date back to the 19th century. There are a number of markers identifying the location of the residents of the earliest American settlers. Many of the markers along the route tell of the very early days of American settlement. Some of the names on the markers around the lake – Ledyard, Burroughs, Dean - live on as the names of roads, creeks, gullies and hamlets. Some are reminders of the enterprise of those pioneers. (“Home of Jethro Wood inventor of the cast iron plough”) The first decades of the 19th century were a time of activity and energy in the Finger Lakes. Though the structures would benefit from a little TLC, the area might well be recognizable in many ways to a resident from 200 years ago. Indeed, though there are certainly dramatic views and vistas to be seen, the countryside from King Ferry north on the east side of Cayuga Lake offers a solemn and mature kind of beauty. The sensational gorges and waterfalls near Ithaca give way to long, rolling hills, old farmhouses, and wide-open spaces where the sky can take center stage. Heritage is close to the surface. It can feel eerily empty and a little wild at times, too. The east side was settled before the west side and it feels older. In fact, on this side of the lake the road itself is older; most of route here originated as Native American trails. The village of Aurora, on the east shore of the lake, is home to Wells College. In 1980 its Aurora Village-Wells College Historic District, comprised of more than 50 contributing properties was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the village is fairly bristling with historic markers. One of the markers identifies the home of Henry Wells, founder of American Express Company, Wells

Fargo Express Company, and Wells College. The Aurora Inn, a landmark built in 1833 and now owned by Wells College, underwent an extensive renovation and facelift, re-fitted for lodging, dining and special events. Finished in 2003, it has guest rooms, and a restaurant with lakeside veranda dining. For Wells College, the transformation of the downtown was a shot in the arm. The decision to admit men, starting in 2005, coupled with the upgrading of the village, stemmed a slide in enrollment, and the college is currently thriving. At various points on the route, on both sides of the lake, there are historical markers identifying the sites of some 13 Cayuga Native American villages that were destroyed by the

Sullivan-Clinton military campaign in September 1779. Though it’s common to think of this area as having been settled in the 1790s when a few hardy American families made their way to the frontier, staked their claims in the wilderness and began clearing the virgin forest, the fact is that people had been present in our area for thousands of years. Kurt A. Jordan, associate professor of anthropology and American Indian studies at Cornell, has tracked evidence of Native American presence in central New York his entire career. His research suggests that Cayuga populations tended to be larger and more stable toward the north end of Cayuga Lake, where conditions were better suited to farming and

fishing. The pattern was for Cayuga villages to relocate every 15-20 years due to the characteristics of ‘shifting agriculture’, a technique of clearing land for cultivation and then leaving it after a few years. The markers along the lake are like a snapshot of the locations of those villages when the American army swept through. One of the largest of those villages (fourteen longhouses) lay between the present-day locations of Aurora and the village of Union Springs and is designated with a marker identifying it as ‘Chonodote’ or ‘Peachtown’ Because of the thousand peach trees that were destroyed. In that September of 1779, the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition, a campaign of the Revolutionary War, set out to deliberately destroy the presence of Native Americans in the Finger Lakes. Our scenic byway follows the path of two detachments of General Sullivan’s expedition (Colonel Dearborn on the west side of the lake and Colonel Butler on the east side) and there are numerous markers denoting their route and campsites. General George Washington himself ordered General John Sullivan to move “against the hostile tribes of the Six Nations of Indians, with their associates and adherents,” t h e immediate object being, Washington said, “the total destruction and devastation of their settlements, and the capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex as possible.” Sullivan was told to carry out his mission “in the most effectual manner, that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed.” The “total ruin” of the settlements, Washington wrote, would guarantee America’s future security by inspiring the Native Americans with terror through “the severity of the chastisement they receive.” General Sullivan considered his scorchedearth expedition an outstanding success. He boasted to Congress that “every creek and River has been traced, & the whole Country explored in search of Indian settlements.” He bragged that there was “not a single town left in the Country of the five nations.” Toward the northern end of Cayuga Lake, on either side, is an historical marker designating the location of the Cayuga Bridge. Before the Civil War, one

way west was through the Finger Lakes on the Genesee Road. Until the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, that meant having to cross Cayuga Lake or the Cayuga Outlet. The ferry service begun in 1789 quickly became inadequate for the amount of traffic. A bridge was needed to cross Cayuga Lake, and during the course of the 19th century at least five different bridges would be built, the first in 1800. At a length of 1 mile and 8 rods (5,412 feet), it was the longest bridge in the Western Hemisphere at that time. It was 22 feet wide, making it possible for wagons to pass in opposite directions. Tolls were $1 for a four-wheel carriage, 75 cents for a wagon and horses, 50 cents for a one-horse cart and 2 cents for each sheep or hog. Local residents were exempt from the tolls. The lake is only about 6 to 10 feet deep where the bridge was located, and that portion of the lake froze each winter. The bridge’s supports, driven into the mud lakebed, were not able to stand up to giant sheets of moving ice, and it lasted less than a decade. A new Cayuga Long Bridge was completed in 1813 and was very successful. Typical toll revenues in 1828 were between $100 and $150 weekly which remained fairly sound until the early 1830s. In time, a third Cayuga Long Bridge was constructed in 1833 on the north side of the second Cayuga Long Bridge, but with the coming of railroads to the area, it fell out of favor and was abandoned in 1857. Today, you will see virtually nothing of the Cayuga Long Bridges except the historical markers where the roads come down to the shore on either side of the lake. From the air, however, stumps of the old bridge piles can still be seen. The few words on the markers hardly do justice to the engineering marvel that was the Cayuga Long Bridge. It’s a testament to the enterprise of those times. Land was cleared, roads laid out, a bridge was built, all with an unconquerable industriousness that can only be impressive to modern eyes. It’s a remarkable and worthwhile journey, right in Ithaca’s back yard. The trip can be done in two hours, though stopping to read markers and visiting one or more of the dozen or so wineries, breweries and the distillery along the route could easily turn it into a day-long affair.

A Day In Dundee A R o o kie’s In itiation To The Di rt Track By Nick Reynolds

t’s not an easy thing to miss the 3,000 seat grandstand of Outlaw Speedway on the landscape as you pull into the tiny village of Dundee, two flags waving high above the dirt track dug into the other side of nowhere headed north on State Route 14A. That’s not to say it’s easy to find the driveway, the best indicator of a point of entry the cloud of dust kicked up on a hot summer day, or perhaps the constant stream of cars pulling into

the lot close to race time. It’s a modest track for a modest town, a home to the hottest ticket in a place smack between the proverbial heartland and wine country. It’s a venue akin to something of an insider’s club here between Seneca Lake’s south shore and Penn Yan, a far cry from the massive throngs who flock to Watkins Glen International every summer for the cavalcade of motorsport royalty that rolls through each summer: home to the wine and cheese crowd of auto racing

of area racing legend Donald “Dutch” Hoag – who brought on several promoters throughout the years. But outside the front office, little actually changed at the track over the years, the staff basically inherited with the facility itself. One woman at the gate, she claimed, had worked there almost as long as the track had been open, recalling the days when the track served as the town’s fairground. The names on the lineup sheets weren’t too prone to change either, the sons of legacy racers like the Hills and the Karlnowskis (and the occasional NASCAR star, like Clint Bowyer) posted in the standings each week. The sporting mood was one more familial than restless, the muddy ground sprung to life with a clan back together again after another week’s work: playing yard games, catching up with each other’s lives and breaking bread or, in this case, hefty half chickens fresh off smoky beds of charcoal. Though something of an unshakeable institution of the dirt track circuit, that’s not to say the track has always been a font of success. It suffered through several years of changing promoters and lagging attendance until, last year, Corning racer Tyler Siri purchased the track with an eye to turn things around, fixing the dilapidated stands of what was then called Black Rock Speedway and raising the stakes to include some of the highest payouts in the state, attracting some of the state’s top talent. Tonight was Veteran’s Night and the evening’s schedule featuring a slate of Sprint Car races; the elite, high velocity fare that attracts some of racing’s finest. These drivers were the easiest to spot, their distinctive, finned cars rolled out of chromed trailers – fully-staffed garages on wheels. These were the guys racing for the big dollars, where a win on the ⅜ of a mile oval could mean a couple hundred dollars – maybe even a few thousand – for less than an hour’s work. I was told the nights these cars were on the scene were the longest, at times running well past midnight and thousands of dollars in payouts. ATVs whirring through the “streets” of this makeshift city behind the stands, I wandered about in the mud, eavesdropping on conversation and snapping pictures. That’s how I got noticed, a woman standing beside a car waving me over as her son and husband made some final tweaks to the immaculate neon green racer they were running. “Are you shooting pictures of the cars for the track?” she asked. “This is our first time back this year, and we put a lot of work into this one.” A daycare owner from Beaver Dams, Michelle Johns has been a part of the track for years. Her husband, a longtime racer, had been running street stock racers on this dirt oval over the course of its numerous races, much in the tradition of his father. They were friends with Siri, at one time urging him to purchase the track, and

as such spent a lot of money to enjoy the night, dropping a little extra to rent out a VIP box above turn four, right above the pit. They were there that night to watch their son, David, who was running their new vehicle the first time. This was a big race for David, his first in a long while. A bassist, he’d taken some time off to fill in on the backline of the Devon Franks Band, a rising, regional country outfit with stops in several states notched on its belt, including a stop in Nashville. But Friday nights at the track, it seems, are a hard habit to kick, especially in this neck of the Finger Lakes where, as Johns said, there’s nothing exciting to do in the area except to drink wine. The P.A. crackles on and we part ways, the

“hot laps” about to start. This is where each of the racers test the track, to see how it handles. The appeal of dirt track racing for many is its unpredictability, the clay surface lacking the certainty that comes with the slick surface of the major league track 15 miles south of here. Last week – rainy – left a pitted surface, messing with a number of the cars. But tonight, with time to dry out, there weren’t anticipated to be too many issues. The cars lined up in the pit, a pageantry of cars ranging from the angular lines of the

Late Model Stocks to the Four Cylinder Racers – with little more horsepower than a low-end Mustang – some e mb l a z on e d with numerous local sponsors, some spray painted with nothing more than a number. Then there were the Winged Sprint Cars – the fastest cars on the track – with the horsepower to whip around the track without once hitting a straightaway. These are the cars that tear open the ground at the start, taking off with thunder, flinging clay into the bleachers on their way to a typical 14-second circuit. They run in orchestras of mechanical sound, a guttural roar shaking the sonic waves as a whir of the engine’s whine accentuate the scream of the race reeking of the sweet, nostril-knurling twinge of gasoline, the tempered pungent earthiness of grating clay intermingling with the smell of floating finger foods bubbling in the background. It’s a spectacle that is a total affront to a more pretentious brand of relaxation, a far scream from the calm and quiet of a country club scene. It’s loud, it’s rude, gritty… a confrontational scene in a ballpark-like setting. It’s not a scene from the mainstream, not one with universal appeal by any means and certainly, the type of scene with a certain crowd of certain persuasion. And as I dunk a greasy fry in a pat of ketchup, I think I might bring a friend with me the next time around.

It’s where they make cider.

It’s where we make our decisions. Melissa Madden & Garrett Miller - Owners Good Life Farm, Finger Lakes Cider House

Making great cider isn’t easy. Especially when you start with a wide-open cornfield. But Melissa Madden and Garrett Miller of Good Life Farm transformed that cornfield into a thriving, organic apple orchard. Then they turned to Tompkins Trust Company for the next step in their plan—building Finger Lakes Cider House.

“They loaned us the full amount we needed for equipment,” says Melissa. “We couldn’t make our cider here without them.” The couple also depends on Tompkins Insurance Agencies for policies on both their farm and their cider house.

“They make decisions locally, and they’re easy to work with,” says Melissa. “They’re truly part of our team.” Need a local decision? Call 888-273-3210. Or visit TompkinsTrust.com. For insurance call 607-257-4440. Or visit TompkinsIns.com.
