Something old, something new

If you love weddings, there is a local exhibit that you just won’t want to miss. The Ontario County Historical Museum is featuring gowns, formal attire, accessories, photographs and life stories from area weddings from 1790-1990. The exhibit, entitled Tying the Knot: 200 Years of Wedding Traditions in Ontario County, runs through April 2015. Canandaigua National Bank is the major sponsor of this exciting display.

Take a step back into time and see how weddings of yesteryear were celebrated. During the only immediate family and very close friends in attendance. At these weddings, the bride often wore a colored gown, rather than white, as a source of good luck and practicality. Flowers were worn in the hair rather than carried in a bouquet. However during the Victorian era, weddings began to change and become more ritualized and follow rules of etiquette. Queen Victoria’s marriage in 1940 set the precedent for white wedding dresses. Weddings became increasingly more elaborate and refined into the early 1900s and included more extravagant wedding attire and accessories, church ceremonies, engraved invitations, bridesmaids’ dresses in contrast to the bride’s gown, gift giving at weddings, formal receptions, bridal cake rituals, and the floral bouquet.

After 1910, simpler wedding styles and activities returned as women’s role in society changed. The Depression era also forced families to choose more modest ceremonies. During World War II, weddings were often done in haste as men left for war. Military

uniforms and borrowed gowns or short day dresses replaced traditional attire. Immediately after the war, wedding dresses were made out of parachutes.

During the prosperous post-war years the bridal industry began to flourish as young women had the means to achieve their “dream” weddings. Receptions became more elaborate as did bridal wear. The pendulum shifted once again during the late 1960s and 1970s when anti-establishment and non-traditional values took hold. Wedding ceremonies reflected the societal shift and were less formal, often customized by the bride and groom. But the wedding of Lady Diana to Prince Charles in 1981 once again brought back the fairytale wedding traditions that continue to flourish today.

The exhibit not only illustrates the evolution of wedding traditions but also highlight real people from the area. See the gowns and accessories of many of the “first” families of Ontario County including

the 1798 wedding dress of Mary Phelps, daughter of Oliver Phelps; wedding cap and locket of Sally Chapin Howell; and elegant wedding gown and veil worn by three generations of women in the Meyers, Jewett and Stickler families. The wedding dresses of Canandaigua’s Mayor Polimeni and museum curator, Wilma Townsend are also on display.

During regular museum hours, through April 2015. 55 North Main Street, Canandaigua. For more information about the Ontario County Historical Museum visit www.ochs.org or call 585-394-4975. You can also find the museum on Facebook.

The Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival has again partnered with Finger Lakes Community College for a summer concert series that will celebrate the series’ 10th anniversary. The festival is centered on four chamber concerts in FLCC’s auditorium over two weekends: Friday and Sunday, July 11 and 13, and Friday and Sunday, July 18 and 20. It also includes a series of community concerts, including a 10th anniversary celebration on July 12, a less formal “Classical Blue Jeans” and barbecue concert at Bristol Harbour Resort on July 16, a performance for children at Canandaigua’s Wood Library on July 17 and a series of free “pop-up” shows in Canandaigua.

“LakeMusic is thrilled to once again partner with FLCC,” said Aimee Ward, executive director of the festival. “The college’s state-of-the-art auditorium is the ideal venue for our world-class performers and has allowed us to expand to larger audiences over the past two years.” Launched in 2005, LakeMusic began as a series of concerts in area churches. In 2012 festival organizers partnered with FLCC and relocated the festival’s four formal main performances to the auditorium in the college’s just-opened Student Center. The partnership continued in 2013 summer with four concerts, including a performance by world-renowned pianist Jon Nakamatsu. The 2014 concert series will feature:

Soprano Amelia Watkins, who has appeared in leading concert halls and opera houses in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. She has performed with the New York City Opera, at the Estates Theatre in Prague, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Carnegie Hall, at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland and at the National Arts Center in Ottawa, among others.

Violinist Kristin Lee, winner of Astral Artists’ 2010 National Auditions and a top prize winner of the 2012 Walter W. Naumburg Competition. She has appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and with the Ural Philharmonic of Russia and the Korean Broadcasting Symphony, among others. Her endeavors include regular collaboration with the frontman for the Grammy-

winning band, The Roots.

Pianist Audrey Andrist, a prize winner at such competitions as the Mozart International, the San Antonio International, Eckhardt-Gramatte and the Julliard Concerto. She has performed in some of the country’s most prestigious venues, including the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and she is a member of Strata, a trio with her husband, violinist James Stern, and clarinetist Nathan Williams.

Watkins, Lee and Andrist will be joined in performances with several other accomplished musicians, including cellist Amy Sue Barston and violinist Kevin Kumar, the festival’s co-artistic directors. Kumar succeeds longtime artistic director Edward Klorman, a violinist.

“For this 10th anniversary season we are celebrating the world-class quality and incredible tradition of the festival while infusing stellar new talent and audience-

friendly programming,” said Kumar, who was part of last year’s LakeMusic Festival. “Each concert was designed to be a distinctive experience.”

LakeMusic’s organizers strive to make chamber music accessible to those who may have had little exposure. From the stage, musicians introduce themselves and each piece, explaining why it was selected and offering background on the composer. “Cultivating new audiences is central to our mission,” said Kumar. “We want people to see that classical music is a creative process, open and relevant to anyone, anywhere.”

The free “pop-up” concerts are supported by a state grant administered by Finger Lakes Community Arts Grants. Featuring Barston and Kumar, they will be held in the festival’s second week. Barston sa id the 30-minute shows are “the perfect introduction to classical music without needing to get dressed up, come to a concert hall or even buy a ticket.”

A brief history of Naples - by Jane MillsOn April 23, 1788, Nathaniel Gorham and Oliver Phelps secured from Hon. John Hancock, Governor of Massachusetts, the right to purchase lands west of the Hudson River in the State of New York. On July 8, 1788, a large part of Western New York was deeded to Phelps and Gorham by the Indians. Sixty settlers at Partridgefield and Windsor formed a compact and selected a committee to buy a township. This committee sent Edward Kibbe, William Cady and Nathan Watkins to select the purchase. Township No. 7 consisting of 21,120 acres was bought for about twelve cents on an acre. The Indians had hunting and fishing privileges for twenty years. The first settler to arrive in Naples was Samuel Parrish and his family in February, 1789. About two months later John Johnson, Nathan Watkins, William Watkins, Jonathan Lee, William Clark, Ephraim Cleveland, Robert Wiley and others, with some of their families, arrived. Late in 1789 or in 1790 Alanson Lyon, Simeon Lyon, Jr., and Joshua Lyon came to the town. The town was first called Watkinstown. In 1795 the name was changed to Middletown, and in 1808 it became Naples.

Churches. The first square log house, when not occupied by families, was used for church services. In June, 1972, the Reverend Zadok Hunn delivered a sermon here. Around 1799, the Rev. Judediah Bushnell was sent by the missionary society. On February 1, 1880, a church was organized by the name of The First Religious Society Compact of Middletown. It is supposed that the name was selected in deference to the groups of Presbyterians and Congregationalists. In 1815 this society joined the Geneva Presbytery and all were required to adopt the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechism, this group was known as Presbyterians. The old church on the square was constructed after the Erie Canal was built, and abandoned in 1850 when the brick building uptown was built. In 1826 the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized, in 1843 the Baptist Church was formed. In 1842 the Christian Church was organized and a church was built in 1845. This church was disbanded about 1881. Later a Lutheran organization was formed and functioned for a few years. The Roman Catholic church was dedicated on May 19, 1879, by the Rt. Rev. Bernard J. McCabe, D.D. A tabernacle was dedicated in 1936.

Schools. Miss Susanna Parish, who came with the first group of settlers, opened the first school in a log house two years after her arrival. In 1792 or 1793 Miss Olive Cleveland taught school in her father's barn. 1797 marks the building of the first schoolhouse. This was a two-room structure also used for church and town meetings. The teacher, Isaac Blanchard, received twelve dollars a month. The town was divided into two districts in 1812, with a school building in each district. Many select schools flourished in private homes, between 1820 and 1860. In 1859 a charter was granted by the state for an academy. Nearly one hundred citizens contributed from $25-$2,500 and the Naples Academy was erected on land given by James L. Monier. It was completed free of debt at a cost of $12,750.

Early Industries. In the fall of 1789, the settlers, aided by the Indians, constructed a hominy block. A large oak stump was hollowed out and a large pestle made which was attached to a strong elastic pole with one end on the ground and resting over the end of an upright post for a fulerum. Here the whites ground their corn in the forenoon and the Indians in the afternoon. In 1792 Reuben Parrish built the first sawmill. In 1792 Nathan Watkins built a log house and covered it with hickory bark. This was the only tavern for several years. In March, 1793, Benjamin Clark and Jabez Metcalf completed a race from Grindstone Creek to the site of the Naples Mill and opened one of the first sawmills in the Genesee Country. In 1795 Benjamin Clark built the first grist mill. Until 1795 the settlers had to go first to Elmira and later to Wilder's mill at Seneca Point for grists.

In 1797, Mr. Heselgesser, a Hollander, opened a small general store on the flats. Other early stores were kept by Warren Clark, Mr. Selby, Cavin H. Luther, Hale and Monier, and Paul B. Torrey. In 1818 or 1819 Simeon Lyon built a tavern just north of what is now the Naples Hotel. Later he applied for and obtained the postoffice for Naples. Maxfield's wine cellars were established in 1882 by D.H. Maxfield, and are now conducted by his son, Hiram Maxfield. Widmer's wine cellars were established in 1888 by Jacob Widmer. In 1833 the first newspaper here was established by Charles Waterman, The Naples Free Press.

Ontario Pathways The Trail is a 23-mile rails-to-trails project located in Ontario County. The Trail is composed of two "legs" that connect Canandaigua, Stanley, Seneca Castle, Orleans and Phelps/Clifton Springs. The trail is open to the public year round for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. No motorized vehicles allowed. No charge for use of the trail.

The Ontario Pathways trail is built on abandoned railroad beds. This makes it mostly flat with only gentle hills except for a couple of detours around private property. The surface is primarily grass with a bare single track of packed cinders down the center. In heavily wooded areas the grass is shaded out leaving just the

packed cinders. For bicycling a mountain bike or hybrid is preferred over a skinny tire road bike.

Ontario Pathways, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization with over 300 members. The organization owns, develops and maintains the trail property on a volunteer basis. There are no paid employees. Funding for preservation of the land and development of the trail has been raised by the organization via memberships, fund drives, fund-raising events and donations from private individuals, organizations and businesses. For more information, events and a map of the trail visit www.ontariopathways.org or call 585-234-7722.

ERIE CANALThe New York State Canal System is not only rich in history, but also culture. From its inception, the canal helped form a whole new culture revolving around canal life. At one time, more than 50,000 people depended on the canal for their livelihood. As the population grew and the transportation waterway prospered, packet boats and passenger vessels, traveled from town to town. Entertainment was prevalent and families would often meet each year, at the same locations, to share stories and adventures...just as they do today.

The Erie Canal is a major attraction and recreational resource. The canal had a huge impact on its surrounding

villages, providing inexpensive and easy transportation of goods, which allowed agriculture and industry to develop. Local museums depict the “Era of the Erie”. Many exhibits and remnants of the old canal are plentiful throughout the area.

Today, the canal is still filled with pleasure boats, fishermen, visitors, and wildlife. Cyclists, runners and walkers enjoy the towpaths, their natural beauty and their history. Culture still abounds along its banks with many events that are cherished in many communities today.

The canal provides recreation for the whole family. Whether you fish, boat, canoe, kayak, hike or bike miles of canal are waiting for you. Modern facilities such as marinas, hiking and biking paths, and canalside parks make your experience a pleasant one.

The Canal Way Trail System offers miles of scenic trails and numerous parks for hiking, biking and cross-country skiing. Enjoy wildlife viewing along miles of green and tranquil trails that line New York’s canals. The trail system includes more than 150 miles of exiting trails comprised of four major trail segments: The Erie Canal Heritage Trail, Old Erie Canal State Park, Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway and the Glens Falls Feeder Canal Trail.

Ironwood Folk School begins second seasonTucked into a small cove on the eastern shore of Canandaigua Lake lies a small hamlet called Vine Valley. It’s here that Ironwood Folk School offered its first season of unique craft classes in the summer of 2013. The school began as a local education experiment and is now growing with the support of artists, teachers and learners of all ages. The school strives to foster healthy, vibrant communities by inciting creativity and encouraging sustainability through non-competitive educational opportunities rooted in traditional crafts. During its first season, IFS held classes on a variety of topics ranging from fermented foods to alabaster stone carving.

They are now busy planning a second season of workshops with expanded course offerings. “Our main objective is bringing people together to celebrate both the joy of learning and the joy of creating,“ says Ironwood Folk School co-founder and director, Nathan Hayes. “The key to any great class is having a teacher whose joy for their craft is infectious.” Whether it’s one of the evening classes exploring a unique and traditional method of fermentation or a stone carving intensive molding of your first piece of alabaster, your class will be fun, engaging and relaxed.

For Ironwood, the summer of 2013 was experimental and modest but the school’s model proved successful. IFS’s initial partnership with the Vine Valley Community House allowed for classroom space on the shores of Canandaigua Lake. “This is just perfect,” said Joe Allgeier, the stone carving instructor at Ironwood, of the space on the community center’s lawn where he had set up his carving station. Working in the shade of a beautiful tulip poplar tree he could gaze up from his carving piece and out into the expanse of Canandaigua Lake. Allgeier, who lives in Victor, is the kind of teacher whose joy and love of his craft is infectious. After working on his own piece, he made the rounds to check in on his six students whose ages ranged from 18 to 60. He shared tips and techniques, answered any

questions, and was compassionate and supportive of what they set out to accomplish.

The kitchen in the Vine Valley Community House serves as classroom space for the Living Foods Series. These classes explore techniques in making multiple fermented foods and drinks that are laden with healthy pro-biotic properties. Beth Altemus, the instructor for the kefir and kombucha portions of the living foods series, sets up her classes to prepare students to be able to go home and begin making their own batches of these drinks. “The kombucha flights seem to be the highlight of the classes,” says Altemus. She prepares weeks in advance by brewing with various teas and flavors and brings in samples for students to taste and compare.

The future of Ironwood looks bright, with the number of class offerings more than doubling for 2014. Some of the new classes will explore such crafts as songwriting, home beer brewing, painting and wooden bird carving. Ironwood is also partnering with the Honeoye Craft Lab to present a fiber arts series. Students will learn different methods for turning sheared wool into a knitted scarf and will be able to learn and practice spinning, dyeing, and knitting.

Partnerships with local entities, like the Vine Valley Community Center and Honeoye Craft Lab, speak to Ironwood’s aim of fostering positive community development. “I would love to design classes that are locally relevant and that contribute in some way to local organizations and businesses,” says Hayes. “We are always open to proposals.” IFS hopes to expand its courses into such realms as sustainable building techniques, woodworking, blacksmithing, and homesteading skills.

Every September for the past two decades, a crowd of fiber artists has gathered at the quaint fairgrounds in Hemlock to revel in their crafts. The Genesee Valley Handspinners Guild will welcome the public again this year on September 20 and 21, to celebrate 20 years of the Finger Lakes Fiber Festival!

Authors Sara Lamb and Barbara Parry will headline the festival this fall. Parry’s book, Adventures in Yarn Farming, tells of life on a 220-acre fiber farm in western Massachusetts, where she dyes and spins the wool her animals produce. Lamb, who will visit from northern California, is author of Spin to Weave. Both of these gifted artists will offer presentations which are open to the general public.

Featured at the festival are exhibits, workshops, competitions and free demonstrations of the latest trends in fiber arts, including handspinning, knitting, crocheting, weaving, felting, rug hooking, lacemaking and basket weaving.

Almost a hundred vendors will offer supplies and equipment to support all these crafts and more, in addition to freezer lamb, fiber processing, lotions, soaps, and exquisite gifts for every taste!

Regional fiber artisans will exhibit their handcrafted masterpieces in the festival “Skein and Fiber Arts” competition. In-depth

Canandaigua is a Seneca Indian word which means Chosen Spot, and when you spend time along the western edge of the distinctive Finger Lakes Wine Region, you will see why. The Canandaigua Wine Trail features some of the region’s most spectacular scenery overlooking Canandaigua Lake, one of the most beautiful of the Finger Lakes.

The Canandaigua Wine Trail is a collection of unique, award-winning wineries and wine centers, restaurants, shops, art galleries, golf courses and attractions which surround Canandaigua Lake. The north end of the trail is located in the Town of Perinton, the center is the city of Canandaigua, and the south end is in the Village of Naples, offering 41 miles of distinctive shopping and dining experiences.

“We are a small but mighty wine trail,” says Cathy Fabretti, President of the Canandaigua Wine Trail. “We are different from the other Finger Lake wine trails because the Canandaigua Wine Trail can be experienced and traveled in one day.” She describes it as a quintessential trip that includes time for a delicious meal, shopping for fresh produce and local goods, and tasting exquisite wines, all with the shimmering lake as the backdrop.

The trail offers a wide range of wineries and wine centers, large to small, boutique to grand. Several of the wineries have been in existence for more than 30 years, and those winemakers have been the forefathers in helping elevate the Finger Lakes into a world class wine region, all producing award-winning wines. Established in the early 1990s, the trail has continued to grow, adding new wineries and businesses.

In addition to the wineries, there are other members, including restaurants, bed and breakfasts, specialty gourmet shops, and more. The trail hosts seasonal events, welcoming visitors to experience all the Canandaigua Wine Trail has to offer.

“There is a lot that makes us unique,” Fabretti says. “I am proud to share this little slice of heaven with family and friends passing through, tasting and traveling the trail.” She says the number of out-of-state visitors to the Finger Lakes Wine Region is growing by leaps and bounds, as many as five million came last year. “Yeah...that’s right,” she says. “We are really that good.”

The Canandaigua Wine Trail is thankful for the support received from several local organizations including the Finger Lakes Visitors Connection and the Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce. The trail is sustained by membership dues, Trail Passports sales, and matching funding from the New York Wine and Grape Foundation.

It’s easy to enjoy spending time on the expanding Lake Ontario Wine Trail. Wayne County has five wineries offering wide selections, and visitors can partake in wine events throughout the year.

Wayne County is home to several festivals and parades, fairs and carnivals from late spring through early fall. These include Lyons' Peppermint Days, which delights those who love peppermint. The Wayne County Fair, a tradition of agricultural and countryside entertainment, it is the oldest in the state. Cracker Box Palace at Historic Alasa Farms Music Fest has bands, food, and fun “til the cows come home.” This historical site overlooking Sodus Bay was formerly a Shaker community.

Wayne County’s historical past is alive and well as exhibited in the many museums, like the Hoffman Clock Museum, displaying over 200 timepieces, and the Alling Coverlet Museum. The Town of Palmyra is the birthplace of the Latter Day Saint Movement. The Book of Mormon was first published here in 1830. Many of the properties in the area associated with early church history have been restored, and are an integral part of Wayne County’s history.

Unique to Wayne County, Chimney Bluffs State Park is a popular attraction. Overlooking Lake Ontario is a picturesque natural formation of spires of clay that were formed by glaciers. A beautiful must-see. Wayne County spans 1,384 square miles of local villages in countryside settings, an historical past still making memories today, and restorative natural beauty to make any day there worthwhile.

Wayne County, a visit worthwhileRural charm, scenic beauty, and plenty of festivals, fairs and entertainment make Wayne County a centerpiece for summer family fun. Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, Wayne County sports 35 miles of shoreline for swimming, boating, and fishing. The Seaway Trail (a national scenic byway) and the Historic Erie Canal wind through the county offering plenty of water recreation.

Sodus Point is a lovely community situated on Sodus Bay, named for its “silvery waters” by Native Americans. Often called, “The Crown Jewel of Lake Ontario,” there are plenty of amenities including quaint shops, cozy bed and breakfasts, campgrounds, marinas, and lots of natural beauty to enjoy whatever suits your pleasure.

From hiking and biking to antiquing and sightseeing, Wayne County is also rich in edible culture. Country farm stands, farmer’s markets, and lots of apple picking orchards delight visitors throughout the season. This is one of the world’s most productive fruit-growing regions, and according to Wayne County’s Office of Tourism, not only is it the top apple-producing county in New York, but it is the second largest producer of apples in the country. The town of Lyons is home to the historic H.G. Hotchkiss Peppermint Factory which bottled and shipped their peppermint oil worldwide.

Outdoor entertaining is a no-brainer if you’re planning a summer get-together. Whether you’re hosting a Fourth of July barbecue or the annual neighborhood cookout, you can keep your party budget reasonable with a little frugal planning. Entertaining in the backyard is a great way to enjoy summer and it lends itself to a small budget for decorating and activities, said Coupons.com household savings expert Jeanette Pavini.

Summer entertaining doesn’t have to break the bankBarbecue on a budget!

BY WYNNE EvErETT | MorE coNTENT NoW

A family-friendly event can feature yard games like badminton or croquet that you already have in your garage. And nature will provide most of the décor, she said.

“Even if you do plant some flowers or get other decorations for outside, they are things you’ll enjoy all season and not just for the party,” she said. “Also, with outdoor entertaining, people aren’t expecting a fancy or expensive meal.”

Meat and alcohol will be your biggest expenses for a large party, so focus on cutting costs here. For drinks, consider making sangria. It’s fresh and festive for an outdoor gathering and because you dress it up with fresh fruit, guests won’t notice if you start with an inexpensive wine.

Of course, some of your guests will want soft drinks and water. Instead of buying bottled versions, brew your own iced tea and serve it in pitchers. And save money on ice by making your own. Start several weeks in advance so you have time to stockpile enough. For the meat, Pavini had these suggestions:

• No need to splurge on the best cuts, especially if you’re going to marinate meat for the grill. Skip the “prime” cuts and go for “choice” or “select.”

• Consider pre-cooking meat like hot dogs so they only need to be heated through on the grill during your party. This will cut cooking time when your guests are there and keep the food moving.

• Learn when your market’s meat department marks down meat each week and shop on that day. The meat is still fresh enough to eat but often is sold for as much as 60 percent off, Pavini said.

For side dishes, you can use the grill, too. Grilled vegetables are quick and easy, and you can usually get a bargain on large quantities of fresh produce if you find your region’s wholesale produce market and learn when it’s open to the public.

For dessert, consider grilled s’mores. They’re inexpensive and a hit with kids!
