Reduce, Reuse...ReStore!
by Joseph Guastaferro
You’ve just spent a weekend cleaning out that cellar jammed wall-to-wall with years of “maybe I better save this one because you never know when it’ll come in handy” types of collectibles that never got used. Or possibly you’re a contractor and the refurbished houses you’re working on have left your waste containers full of useable bathroom and kitchen paraphernalia. Or maybe you’re a store manager and the boss tells you that outdated inventory that’s been taking up space for a year needs to go, but where? Read More

Canandaigua Lake Music Festival to run from August 17 to 28
The 2011 season of the Canandaigua Lake Music Festival celebrates the vibrant impact of folk music and storytelling traditions on classical music, with performances by an exciting roster of musical stars. From the Czech folk flavor of Dvorak’s String Sextet to the Spanish rhythms and Oriental flavors in Ravel’s Quartet in F, the folk spirit continues with the pioneering multi-genre cellist Mike Block (who has toured extensively with the Appalachia Waltz Trio and the Silk Road Project, and who has been acclaimed by Yo-Yo Ma as “the ideal musician of the 21st century”). Hailed as a “virtuoso soloist and a rhythm monster” (Darol Anger), Block’s fiery performances combine Appalachian fiddling to bluegrass to classical styles for an unprecedented concert experience.
