LOCAL FUN AND FARE

(102-3618) Frontenac Winery – Carol Doolittle Friday, June 14th 2:30-4:00pm -AND- (3632) Friday, June 21st 2:30pm tour of the vineyard at Frontenac Winery Optional tastings available at winery for $4 per person

 Description: Learn about the happenings during a full year in the vineyard and the value of the vineyard in

making wine! Frontenac Point is on the west side of Cayuga Lake, and all of the grapes used to make their

wines are grown in the winery's own 18-acre vineyard, on slopes of low elevation, protected by a

microclimate influenced by Ontario and Cayuga Lakes. Frontenac Point's focus is on the production of dry wines, using barrel fermentation and other modern processes to permit the wines to gain complexity. The Doolittles are committed to the notion that change is good and that just because there's a traditional way of making wine, that doesn't make it the only way. There will be a lot of time for Q&A and one sample of a resulting wine!

 Bio: In 1976, after working for the New York State government in Albany for eleven years and assisting with the passage of the farm-winery bill, Jim Doolittle (Cornell University - CALS '67) and Carol Doolittle (Good Counsel College/Pace University '68) decided that they wanted to have their own winery. "It sounded like fun," and so they embarked upon an adventure. In 1978, they purchased a promising site with a panoramic view of Cayuga Lake, and planted their first three acres of vines. In 1982, Frontenac Point Vineyard became New York farm-winery #44, producing only 400 cases of wine. Carol got the “off the farm” job at Cornell University managing the marketing and distribution of Cornell Cooperative Extension and other University educational materials. She retired from Cornell in 2000 and now enjoys puttering in the vineyard and

walking Jazz and Boots their rescue dogs.

(104-3624) Beyond Exercise: Aging with Agility and Awareness – Mona Sulzman th Tuesday, June 25 2:00-3:30pm

 Description: This introductory Alexander Technique presentation and hands-on workshop offers an approach to movement that leads to greater well-being, progress, and satisfaction. A unique method of awareness, a skill for “embodied consciousness,” Alexander Technique shows you how to prevent what gets in the way of your best efforts and intentions: injury, frustration, self-doubt, lack of motivation, and other obstacles. By learning how to notice and intercept unconscious neuromuscular habits that interfere with your best coordination and functioning, in both every day and more challenging activities, you can achieve greater stamina, flexibility, strength, balance, ease, and confidence. Whatever your level of mobility and physical condition, you can apply Alexander Technique to whatever you do and increase your capacity to age with agility—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

 Bio: AmSAT Certified Alexander Technique Teacher, Mona Sulzman, has been helping people of all ages achieve greater functioning and well-being through Alexander Technique for over thirty years. Along with her private practice, which includes many performing artists, she has worked with diverse populations at colleges, universities, performing arts institutes, community centers, and workplace sites. Movement, breath, and voice are regular components of her AT work with her students. Mona has been a professional singer and dancer (Trisha Brown Company 1975-80) on and off since childhood. www.monasulzman.com.

 Description: This is a 4 session course designed to get you talking about AND engaging in health related changes.

We will identify and remove barriers that get in the way of reaching your health goals. This group is limited to 6 Participants so sign up today! Plan on attending all sessions.

(403-3626) “Trippingly on the Tongue” Alexander Technique & Shakespeare – Mona Sulzman (6 sessions) Tuesdays, July 9th to August 13th, 12:00-1:00pm

 Description: How effective and at ease are you while reading out loud, reciting, or speaking in public? Before developing and teaching his unique method of psychophysical re-coordination (the Alexander Technique), F. M. Alexander (1869-1955) was an actor who performed Shakespearian monologues. Once, when asked to describe the Alexander Technique, Alexander said that everything you need to know about it could be found in Hamlet. He was referring specifically to Hamlet's instructions to the players of the “mousetrap” play (Act 3, Scene 2). And it most likely echoes Shakespeare's own advice to the actors performing in his plays. We will explore Shakespeare, other texts of your own choosing, and speaking, while learning to apply the Alexander Technique. Mona Sulzman will guide you as you discover how to transform self-consciousness into constructive self- awareness, forced projection into audible resonance and clarity, and emotional intention into naturally engaging expressiveness.
