It most commonly occurs in the Northeastern,Mid-Atlantic and North-Central states.

8:30 p.m. CDT,April 30,2012 It’s not that there haven’t been other great Olympic horses. Rembrandt,ridden byGermany’sNicole Uphuff,won two individual gold medals and two team gold medals during the 1988 and 1992 Olympics in dressage. But Rembrandt wouldn’t stick his nose in a trash can because curiosity trumped caution. Rembrandt wouldn’t turn around and try to reenter Tampa Stadium after a major competition to return immediately to the scene of triumph. As far as great U.S. Olympic horses are concerned,Authentic is the tops. The 17-year-old bay gelding,who was bred in Holland,is a happy retiree in Cazenovia,N.Y.,where he is an impish playmate to the other horses in the stable of John and Beezie Madden and owner of two team golds from Athens and Beijing and an individual bronze from Beijing,making him the most decorated Olympic jumper.

Contributing writer The spirited restaurant owner who threw a party in the face of brain surgery is already back on her feet. Alicyn Hart,head chef and owner of the restaurant Circa on Albany Street in Cazenovia,had a brain tumor removed March 23. Beforehand,she prepared for surgery by throwing a “head-shaving party.” Just 12 hours after the surgery was over,she was eager to get on her feet. Continue reading at Post Standard By Don,on April 12th,2012 After more than a year of dormancy,the vacant 8,750-square-foot retail space at Town and Country Plaza on Route 20 East will soon be occupied by a Sears Hometown Store. Local property developer David Muraco recently struck a deal with Steve Seitz,general manager of Sears Hometown/ SR &Development Inc.,who hopes to open the new location by June. “The best thing that [a Sears Hometown Store] provides to a small community is competitive pricing. All the products are priced by Sears Corporate,” Seitz said. “We chose Cazenovia to be the first store we open based on the different demographics and the unique market that exists … We’re not setting up shop in a smaller community and raising prices. Customers can drive into a Sears store in Syracuse and pay the same amount. It’s a good feeling to be part of the growth that’s happening in Cazenovia.” Continue reading at Cazenovia Republican By Jim J,on April 9th,2012 ZEPHINIA COMSTOCK/ENDERS FARMHOUSE (c. 1825) STATUS OF DEMOLITION REQUEST Last summer the Town of Cazenovia Planning Board received a demolition application from New Venture Assets LLC,owners of the Zephinia Comstock House,built c. 1825, also known as the Enders House,2363 Route 20 East. State law requires environmental review of certain land use actions,and the Planning Board ordered the applicant to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) based on the potential impact of the proposed demolition (the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places). The Board has received comments on the draft EIS,and requested additional information from New Venture. This information was supplied in time for the Thursday,April 5 Planning Board meeting. From April 5 there is a 10 day period for additional written comment. There will not be another public hearing. The Board expects to vote on the demolition request at its May 3 meeting. For the complete background on this see CPF’s Fall 2011 Upland Journal on the website or call the office,877-1742,for a hard copy.

CPF plays ‘I Spy’ with national bird in Caz | Cazenovia Republican. By Don,on March 29th,2012 By Martha E. Conway (Cazenovia,NY – March 20,2012) After navigating the good and the bad of natural gas development in his Pennsylvania home,Bradford County Conservation District Manager Michael Lovegreen said he would hazard the opinion most residents there most likely would do it again. He told the standing-room-only crowd that Bradford County has seen impacts from drilling,but not from hydraulic fracturing. “A 1,000-unit housing develop unit would have a greater water impact than what we are seeing now,” Lovegreen said,explaining that the quality of the project is only as good as the conscientiousness of the company doing the work. Lovegreen was the featured speaker at a presentation at Cazenovia High School sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Cazenovia Town Supervisor Ralph Monforte,chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors Planning,Economic Development &Environmental and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee,and League spokeswoman Anne Redfern introduced the program.
