Mountainfest ready to soar this weekend
PUBLIC EVENT AT DRUM:
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK SUMMER FUN x&x
Air show, country star
part of two festive days
FORT DRUM — Fort Drum’s 24th annual Mountainfest on Saturday and Sunday
at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield will feature
one of the largest national air shows hosted by an Army post, in addition to a Welcome Home and Salute to the Nation Ceremony.
Mountainfest, held annually, celebrates
the relationship among Fort Drum, its soldiers and families and the north country
community.
All Mountainfest events are free and
open to the public. Events on both June 27
and 28 begin at 11:30 a.m.; gates open at 9
a.m.
Saturday’s featured events include the
Welcome Home Ceremony and Salute to
the Nation, in which spectators can see the
uncasing of the division colors and honor
America and those who serve in the military. Other activities will include a highflying air show and a custom-car and bike
show.
There also will be an evening full of free
family activities.
Jo Dee Messina will sing her hits at a free
concert starting at 6 p.m., courtesy of Fort
Drum Family and Morale, Welfare and Recrteation. Ms. Messina is the first female
country artist to score three multiple-week
number one songs from the same album.
After the concert, a twilight air show will
be held at 8 p.m., followed by a huge fireworks display at 9:30 p.m.
The free admission, open-to-the-public
air show will feature:
 The Memphis Belle, a replica B-17 that
flew in the 1990 Hollywood feature film of
the same name. According to the National
Museum of the U.S. Air Force, the Memphis Belle is one of the most famous aircraft of all time.
In May 1943, its crew became the first
U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bomber crew
to complete 25 combat missions over Europe.
 The Trojan Horsemen, the only sixship T-28 team in the world. The T-28 Trojan has an extensive fighting history in
Southeast Asia and other theaters and features amazing turns and a loud, growling
engine.
 The Lima Lima Flight Team, the
world’s original six-aircraft civilian formation aerobatic team.
The team’s precision performance features several formation configurations
that demonstrate the full range of the
Beech T-34 Mentor, which were used by
the U.S. Air Force in the 1950s and early
1960s.
 The Aerostars, a precision aerobatic
demonstration team that performs in the

Messina will sing her hits Saturday at a free
concert, courtesy of Fort Drum Family and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
Yak 52 TW. The Aerostars’ routines include
graceful aerobatics flown in tight formation, spectacular breakaways and breathtaking opposing passes.
 The MCMD Stearman, a 1942 U.S.
Army Air Corps PT-17 with a smoke system
and resonance unmatched by miniature
biplanes.
 The Iron Eagle Aerobatic Team, which
flies two Super Christen Eagle I aircraft and
does a number of close head-on maneuvers, missing just feet apart.
 Dan Buchanan, a paraplegic who descends, circles, wheels and dives in his
hang glider to a musical accompaniment.
 Rob Holland, who uses a high-energy
mixture of high- and low-altitude maneuvers while flying an MX2 Aerobatic aircraft
by MX Aircraft.
The MX2 can roll at more than 400 degrees per second, when viewers will see
only a blur.
 Air Combat Command’s A-10 East
Demonstration Team, which demonstrate
the capabilities of the A-10 Thunderbolt II,
which, along with the OA-10 Thunderbolt
II, was the first Air Force aircraft specially
designed for close air support of ground
forces. They can be used against all ground
targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles.
 The U.S. Army 82nd Airborne’s AllAmerican Parachute Team.
Throughout both days of Mountainfest

Gananoque play pays tribute to Jazz Age cliches
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK SUMMER FUN x&x
GANANOQUE, Ontario— “The Drowsy
Chaperone,” an homage to American musicals of the Jazz Age, kicked off the
Springer Theatre season at the Thousand
Islands Playhouse in a run that ends Aug. 1.
Thr play made its debut in 1998 as a
unique wedding present for Bob Martin
and his bride, Janet Van De Graff. After a
sold-out run at the 1999 Toronto Fringe Festival, the expanded “Chaperone” opened at
the Marquis Theatre on Broadway in 2006.
Playing to packed houses for 647 performances, the U.S. production earned solid accolades from New York critics and won five
Tony awards, including the awards for best
book of a musical and best original score.
Act one begins with Man in Chair
(David Talbot), a mousy, agoraphobic
Broadway fanatic, listening to an old
record of a classic 1928 musical comedy,
“The Drowsy Chaperone.” By the time the
first note sails out of his speakers, he’s been
transported to a magical dream world,
where the actors in the recording enter his
dingy apartment and transform it into a
set complete with seashell footlights,
sparkling furniture, painted backdrops
and costumes that would put the Ice Ca-
pades to shame.
The show-within-a-show centers on
Janet Van De Graff (Marisa McIntyre), a
showgirl and star of “Feldzieg’s Follies,” giving up the stage to marry oil tycoon Robert
Martin (Sean Ban Beaton). Janet’s producer,
Feldzieg (Murray Furrow), receives pressure from two pun-happy gangsters in the
employ of the chief investor of Feldzieg’s
Follies disguised as pastry chefs to ensure
that the wedding does not take place (Jacob
James and Sean Robertson). To ensure this,
he enlists the help of Aldolpho (Larry Herbert), an over-the-top Latin Lothario, to se-

cold feet, and a massive misunderstanding
emerges between her and Robert. What follows is a pastiche of every classic, clichéd
plot thread ever to grace the stage. The production is directed by Kathryn MacKay.

Wetlands Wildlife Walk scheduled this Thursday
SANDY CREEK — The Eastern Lake
Ontario dune steward program will offer
a Wetlands Wildlife Walk at 11 a.m.
Thursday at the South Sandy Creek cartop boat launch and fishing/parking access off state Route 3 in southern Jefferson County.
“On a visit to the wetlands you are sure
to encounter interesting wildlife,” said
steward Stacy Furgal, who will be talking
about the diverse animal species in habitats in the area. “Some species found in the
dunes and wetlands are rare, some are en-
dangered such as the bog buckmoth, and
others are more easily seen, such as turtles.”
The Eastern Lake Ontario Dunes and
Wetlands Area stretches nearly 17 miles
along the lakeshore in Jefferson and Oswego counties.
Among the species is the bog buckmoth
that New York State currently lists as endangered. Oswego County has six of only
10 bog buckmoth colonies known worldwide.
Five of these are found in the wetland

musical comedy opens
TIPAF season Thursday
CLAYTON — The Thousand Islands Performing Arts Fund summer season will
open Thursday with the musical comedy
“Forever Plaid” at the Clayton Opera House.
With four performances scheduled
Thursday through Saturday, this whimsical revue of the close-harmony “guy
groups” of the 1950s offers a light-hearted, highly entertaining kick off to a full
season of diverse events. “Forever Plaid”
made its off-Broadway debut in New York
in 1990 and is now performed internationally.
Steve Petrillose, Kevin Kitto, Dan Davis
and Jim Goodenbery portray the quartet of
high-school buddies whose dreams of
recording an album end — symbolically
and literally — when their cherry-red 1954
Mercury convertible collides with a bus
filled with Catholic schoolgirls who are on
their way to see the eatles’ American debut
on the Ed Sullivan Show. The play really gets
rolling when the Plaids return from the afterlife for one final chance at musical glory.
The musical score of “Forever Plaid” in-

“No, Not Much,” “Chain Gang,” “Perfidia,”
“Cry,” “Heart and Soul, “Shangri-La,” “Rags

Thing” and “Catch a Falling Star.” Terpsie
Toon is director and choreographer and
Marietta Kitto is musical director.
Evening performances will take place at
7 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There
will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday
Ticket prices are $15 for side section,
general admission and $20 for center section, reserved seating.
“Forever Plaid” was presented last year,
with the same director and quartet of actor-singers, at the Lake Ontario Playhouse
in Sackets Harbor.
The TIPAF season at the Clayton Opera
House will continue July 2 with a patriotic
pops performance by the Orchestra of
Northern New York, followed by a multimedia art and piano performance, “Reflections,” on July 17; tenor Michael Slat-
tery with the Skye Consort on July 24, the

In addition to these performances
sponsored by TIPAF, many artists and other organizations also program events at
the opera house. A complete calendar of

SACKETS HARBOR — The Sackets Harbor Historical Society opens its 25th concert series season at 3 p.m. Sunday with
Frank Sacci and his celebrated orchestra
and the return of vocalist Laura Atkinson
of Harrisville.
Mr. Sacci, whose orchestra plays the Big
Band-era music of Harry James, Count
Basie, Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman, has played in the concert series since
its inception and has opened the series for
the past four years.
Ms. Atkinson, the featured vocalist,
taught piano and voice in the Lowville area
until recently, when she took some time off
to raise her young family. Her mother-inlaw, Shelene Atkinson of the Atkinson
Family Bluegrass Band, enticed her to sing
for co-worker Tim Savage, baritone sax
player in Mr. Sacci’s Big Band. Mr. Savage
made the connection with Mr. Sacci, and
Laura Atkinson found herself on center
stage at the Watertown Mayor’s Ball at Jefferson Community College.
A child of Army and Air Force parents,
she lived in 22 communities before set-

Tale of two shipwrecks
will be told in Sackets
SACKETS HARBOR — A re-enactor portraying War of 1812 sailor Ned Myers will
tell his lively tale of the sinking of the
Hamilton and the Scourge at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 16 at the Great Lakes Seaway Trail
Discovery Center. The authentically costumed James H. Fischer will relate the story of the famous shipwrecks’ survivor in
this presentation for the 2009 Great Lakes
Seaway Trail Experience Series.
Seaman Myers lived to tell his story to
noted American author James Fenimore
Cooper. Mr. Fischer, a marine consultant
who has studied the underwater history of
Lake Ontario for 22 years, draws on Mr. Myers’s narrative as told to Mr. Cooper for “A
Life Before the Mast.” Mr. Fischer tells details of the moments before a squall surprised captain and crew.
The wrecks of the two merchant ships —
the Hamilton, built as Diana in Oswego,
and the Scourge, originally Lord Nelson —
were discovered in 1973 and are considered to have national historic significance
to both the U.S. and Canada.
Mr. Fischer’s presentation will also include a series of Jacques Cousteau slides of
lake bottom vessels.
“This presentation of the sinking of the
Hamilton and the Scourge is one of many
exciting maritime heritage experiences to
be found on the Great Lakes Seaway Trail.
We invite history enthusiasts to explore the
518-mile freshwater shoreline of New York
and Pennsylvania and dive into our rich water-based history,” said Great Lakes Seaway
Trail President and CEO Teresa Mitchell.
The $5 program fee benefits educational programming at the Great Lakes Seaway
Trail Discovery Center, Ray and West Main
streets. For more information, visit
www.seawaytrail.com or call 646-1000.

New environmental festival debuts in Syracuse next month
SYRACUSE — Central New York’s first
multi-day, family-friendly environmental
festival will take place in Hanover Square
and City Hall Commons Court on July 23 and
24. The Blue Rain Ecofest will be the fourth
major component of Syracuse Artsweek, the
“festival of festivals” that includes the Jazz in
the Square Festival, the Syracuse Arts &
Crafts Festival and a public art walk.
Interested parties should call 479-5299
for information. Prime exhibiting locations in Hanover Square and City Hall
Commons Court are limited, and a wideranging, diverse collection of vendors will
be chosen.
A production of CNY Jazz Central with
cooperation and support from the Center
of Excellence, National Grid, the Downtown Committee, the city of Syracuse and
the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, the event is the product
of research dating back to early 2008.
“With help from key members of my
board of directors, a green plan for Jazz in
the Square was devised, but formulated a
bit too late to attract sponsorship,” said Larry Luttinger, director of CNY Jazz Central.
“We continued to develop the idea, and
found that there were no large eco-events in
upstate New York that were directed at families, just business-to-business and scientific conferences. We heard first-hand testimony that individuals were asking how to
attend these conferences, and in some cas-
es showing up and crashing them. There
were no significant public green festivals in
the country being produced in the Northeast closer than Washington, D.C.”
The two-day event features vendors and
exhibitors showing products and techniques designed to raise awareness of how
every family can lead a more ecologically
efficient lifestyle and in many cases save
money as well. One exhibit, organized by
Cuse Car, is a display line of various fuelefficient and alternative-fuel vehicles that
will be available for test drives.
There will be plenty of entertainment as
well, on stage in Hanover Square. On Friday
and Saturday evenings an eclectic lineup of
bands will appear from 5 until 10 p.m. on the
Bull and Bear Stage and appear later in the
evening in the Bull and Bear. Dance troupes
and clubs will be performing, demonstrating and teaching in Hanover Square during
the day Saturday. Organic foods and beverages will be available. A complete schedule
of events and activities will be announced
soon,
and
the
Web

State fair’s Chevy Court
features new format
FREE SHOWS: Switchfoot, Four Tops, Sara Evans on
schedule revamped to add acts, reduce repetition
SYRACUSE — The legendary Four Tops,
country music star Sara Evans and alternative rock band Switchfoot are among the
stars scheduled on the New York State
Fair’s Chevy Court this summer, part of a
new effort to offer twice as much national
entertainment for the price of fair admission.
About two dozen national acts will be
perform at Chevy Court, which is free for
all fairgoers. Last year, 11 national acts —
fewer than half of what is planned for 2009
— played the venue.
All Chevy Court concerts are included in
the price of Fair admission. Tickets to the
fair — $6 in advance, $10 at the gate — will
not be increased for 2009.
“In these difficult times, families need
to make sure they get the best value possible for every dollar they spend,” state
fair Director Dan O’Hara said. “Gov. Paterson recognizes this and has urged
families to vacation close to home, at affordable destinations in New York State.
Our new Chevy Court format supports
his initiative. As the state’s largest annual
event, we feel an obligation to make the
Fair as attractive and affordable as possible.”
Ms. Evans will sing on Thursday, Aug.
27; the Four Tops will play on Monday,
Aug. 31; and Switchfoot on Friday, Sept.
4. All three acts will play at 8 p.m. on
Chevy Court, with a different national
artist performing at 2 p.m. on the same
stage.
In the past, the same artist performed
two concerts on Chevy Court, one in the
afternoon and one in the evening.
Earlier this year, the fair management
decided to reduce the number of paid concerts at the grandstand from 11 to seven
and dedicated more resources to hiring
performers for Chevy Court.
The fair hired Triangle Talent, a Kentucky firm that specializes in state fairs, to
book performers for both venues.
“By shifting our resources like this, we
can ensure the highest quality entertainment possible at both Chevy Court and the
Mohegan Sun Grandstand,” Mr. O’Hara
said.
Country music superstar Kenny Chesney, whose previous two concerts at the
fair broke successive attendance records,
will perform Friday, Aug. 28.
“We asked ourselves how many families
were likely to be able to afford multiple
grandstand concerts this summer. We
looked at the economic forecasts and decided that — regardless of the quality of
Switchfoot, a California-based alternative rock band known for its energetic live performances, is scheduled Sept. 4 at the New York State Fair.
Sara Evans, a traditional-style country
singer and songwriter who has become one
of the most popular women in country music, will perform Aug. 27 at the state fair’s
Chevy Court.

the acts we booked — the market was not
likely to be there,” Mr. O’Hara said. “By refocusing some of our money and energy to
Chevy Court, we believe we’ll be able to
give many more people an opportunity to
enjoy a memorable, top-flight performance. We’ll be able to tailor acts to please
seniors and offer entertainment for children while making sure Chevy Court is
alive with the kind of music that will draw
people in the evening.”
The expanded format at Chevy Court
will allow the fair to offer a more diversified
lineup of entertainment. The afternoon
concerts will tend to be aimed more at seniors and families. The evenings will feature
adult-oriented performances from a wide
range of genres. The first three announced
performers, for example, are aimed at fans
of Motown-era rhythm and blues, progressive rock, and strong female country vocalists.
The Four Tops helped define the popular
Motown sound of the 1960s. The quartet
has been performing for 56 years and did
not have a change of personnel until 1997.
The group scored a long list of popular
hits during its first decades, including “I
Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey
Bunch),” “Reach Out, I’ll Be There,” “Baby,
Featured Aug. 31 will be the legendary Four Tops, who helped define the popular Motown
sound of the 1960s and performed without a change of personnel until 1997.
I Need Your Loving,” “It’s The Same Old
Song,” “Standing in the Shadows of Love,”
“Bernadette,” “Keeper of the Castle,”
“Ain’t No Woman Like the One I’ve Got,”
“Are You Man Enough,” “Sweet Understanding Love,” “When She Was My Girl”
and more.
Sarah Evans is a traditional-style country singer and songwriter who has become
one of the most popular women in country music. Ms. Evans was named Female
Vocalist of the Year in 2006 at the Academy
of Country Music Awards.
She has had many top 10 country hits,
several platinum-certified albums, and a
resume that includes the songs “No Place
That Far,” “Born to Fly,” “I Could Not Ask
For More,” “I Keep Looking” and “Suds In a
Bucket." She was a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2006.
Switchfoot is a California-based alternative rock band known for its energetic
live performances. Two of its most widely
known songs, “Meant to Live” and “Dare
You to Move,” topped popular music
charts, and its 2003 album, “The Beautiful
Letdown” sold 2.6 million copies, going
double platinum. The band, named for a
surfing term, has been part of the Christian rock scene and has been involved in
many humanitarian causes. Several of
their songs were used in the soundtrack
of the 2002 romance movie “A Walk to Remember,” starring Mandy Moore.
The Chevy Court lineup also includes
Eric Church and Chuck Wicks, two of
country music’s hottest rising stars, and
the legendary Oak Ridge Boys, one of the
most popular and long-lasting groups in
country music.
Eric Church, a popular singer-songwriter whose two albums have had major
runs on the country music charts, will play
on Chevy Court at 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4,
when Switchfoot plays the 8 p.m. show.
The 2009 fair will run from Aug. 27 to
Sept. 7.

ALEXANDRIA BAY — The 32nd annual
vintage boat show scheduled July 18 is expected to attract a wide range of classic
and antique boats from the Northeast and
beyond.
Chairman Robert Lloyd said the show
frequently has around 80 vessels. Cruisers,
yachts, runabouts, utilities, launches, race
boats, canoes, skiffs and more will be evaluated by teams of judges for originality
and overall condition.
Although some pristine boats are
placed in the the show, the judges encourage entries of older boats that are still used
by their owners but carefully maintained.
The judges have developed a system
whereby these well-maintained, used
boats can compete for high scores and
awards along with boats that are primarily
“show boats.”
In addition to the judges’ scoring, visitors are provided with ballots. Their decision determines the winner of the popular
People’s Choice Award.
Also among the special awards each
year is the prestigious Renaissance Cup.
This trophy is given to a well preserved
boat that for many years has been an important part of the Thousand Islands culture. This award is sponsored by Dr. Sandy
Gregory and is highly prized by local boat
owners. The annual winner is determined
by a special committee.
The Alexandria Bay Vintage Boat Show
has been designated by the International
Antique and Classic Boat Society as an official event with the judges using the society’s criteria to determine the winners in
each category.
Boat show activities begin at 6:30 p.m.
on Friday, July 17, at the Boldt Castle Yacht
House on Wellesley Island, where a kickoff party will be held by the Thousand Islands chapter of ACBS.
Tickets to the party are available in advance for $15 per person with the boat
show registration Form (no later than July
10) and at $20 per person at the door,
where refreshments and light food will be
served.
On Saturday, July 18, the boats will be at
the upper village dock in downtown
Alexandria Bay. The show will open for
public viewing at 9 a.m. and will remain
open until 3:30 p.m.
At 3:30 the boats will prepare to leave the
dock to form a parade. The route will go
past the park on Casino Island, to River

UPPER CANADA COMEDY:
Production now running
to July 5 in Morrisburg
MORRISBURG, Ontario — Upper
Canada Playhouse has opened its 2009
summer season with the comedy “Perfect
Wedding,” by Robin Hawdon, playing until July 5.
A wedding suite becomes a battleground for a madcap series of gaffes, cover-ups and misunderstandings. It’s more a
perfect storm than perfect wedding for the
bridegroom, Bill, when he wakes up in bed
the morning of his wedding and discovers
a mysterious lady beside him.
The shenanigans and cover-ups shift into high gear when his best pal, Tom, arrives
and is forced into pretending the mysterious girl is his girlfriend. Added to the fun is
the over-anxious bride-to-be, a wisecracking chambermaid and the bossy
mother of the bride, who all arrive to complicate matters.
Sweeney MacArthur and Debra Hale star in ‘Perfect Wedding’ at Upper Canada Playhouse.
The play stars Sweeney MacArthur,
Timm Hughes, Susan Greenfield, AnnaMarie Lea, Debra Hale and Brenda Quesnel.
