4 Bristol Valley Theater presents Rent Bristol Valley Theater, the Finger Lakes award-winning live professional theater, continues its summer season with Jonathan Larson s blockbuster musical, Rent. Widely-known and internationally acclaimed, Rent won the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama during its original Broadway run. For over a decade, it toured the nation and was eventually adapted into a Hollywood feature film. It celebrates the joys and the heartaches of a year in the life of a group of friends. Writer Jonathan Larson based his story on Puccini s La Boheme and then updated the setting to his modern-day Bohemia NYC s East Village during the early 90s. Jonathan Larson took an old story and looked at how to make it relevant to a modern audience, says Bristol Valley Theater Executive/Artistic Director Karin Bowersock. The result has become a contemporary classic that ultimately changed the face of musical theater. Performances run from July 9 19 at the theater at 151 South Main Street in Naples. Performance times are July 9 11 at 8 p.m., July 12 at 2 p.m., July at 2 p.m., July at 8 p.m., and July 19 at 2 p.m. Ticket prices range from $ for adults to $12 for children, with senior, student and group discounts available. For reservations and further information, call the box office at or visit The cast will include Andre Torquato (Roger), David Shane (Mark), Liz Wasser (Maureen), Taylor Alexis Bass (Mimi), Lora Nicolas (Joanne), Matthew James Sherrod (Collins), Bernard Davis (Angel), and Michael Radi (Benny). Completing the ensemble is Shane Heidecker, Hannah Karpenko, Adam Marino, Amanda Popielarz, Marlin Slack, and Amber Smith, who will also co-choreograph. Innovative Theater Awards Best Director winner Suzi Takahashi will direct. Rent is about believing in love says Takahashi, And being brave enough to keep your heart open even in the midst of crisis. Rent is sponsored by CIG Insurance, Lynnie Lou s Ice Cream and Hazlitt s Red Cat Cellars. The 2015 season is sponsored by Constellation Brands with additional support from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. The Bristol Valley Theater 2015 season continues through August 0 with the black comedy, Becky s New Car and Family Matters.

6 Nature in the Little Finger Lakes What Glows in the Night By Angela Cannon-Crothers Night buzzes. Night blooms. Night unravels its mystery in long threads of conversations, each connected to the inner workings of the nocturnal world in an afterglow all its own. A light show still pulses in tall grasses and forest edges here in the Little Finger Lakes Region, as if someone were sprinkling glitter there. Lampyridae is the Latin name of a family of true beetles we know as lightening bugs or fireflies. There are thousands of species of fireflies but not all of them produce a luminescence. The blinks of bioluminescence derive from a chemical reaction between oxygen and luciferin in special cells in the beetle s abdomen. Scientists are still learning about this cold light reaction that produces almost no heat. If you spot a lightning bug flying and flickering about in the darkness, it is probably a male. Females sit like indifferent wall flowers, observing the mating show and blinking back only if interested. Different species of lightning bugs create different patterns of blinks to attract a mate. Sometimes I try counting the beat of their flashes, trying to ascertain the mysterious rhythm they go by, but I can t quite get the beat, then again, I m not a firefly. And although there has been some research done regarding false calls by females to lure in males of other species for prey, most adult lightning bugs feed only on nectar and pollen. In the summer weeks to come, some of their hatched larvae the glowworms will glimmer on the ground. There are other Kingdoms of life on earth that produce bioluminescence; certain species of fungi also contain luciferin; species of Armillaria, Panellus, and Omphalotus olearius (known fittingly as the Jack-o -Lantern mushroom) and a few others. These bluish-green lit mushrooms are referred to as Foxfire. Foxfire can be found glowing dimly or brightly on both down, rotting timbers, and upright trees. The original folkloric name stemmed from Fairy Sparks and Fairy Fire and was morphed linguistically to Foxfire, where other legends evolved. A porch light in the darkness calls in numerous night flying insects confused by the earth bound glow. Nocturnal insects navigate using the moon and stars as overhead guides and are still adapting to humankind s explosive transition to electric lights. Slender bodied, spritely green colored Green Lacewings are common at night as are the softly scaled wide wings of moths. In early July you may find visitors with - to 5-inch wingspans from the Cecropia, Polyphemous, and Silk Moth families; among them, the near luminescent green of the Luna Moth. Equally large but narrower in wingspan are a variety of Sphinx Moths who swoop and buzz in flight; hence their other names as Hawk Moths and Hummingbird Moths. There are Underwings and Tussucks, Geometers and tiny, tiny Casemakers several thousand species of moths in all. Some nectar feeding and rolled tongued species will seek out the tall stalks of night blooming evening primrose and other blooms. Other species lack mouth parts and are just looking to mate and lay eggs on a favorite host tree for their voracious young to chow on leaf by leaf. Still others will be mesmerized by the light of a porch, a gas station, or highway lamp post, and dance the night there, forgetful of their purpose. The eerie spots of eye shine via headlights or flashlight give us clues as to the wildlife that share our environment. Humans do not produce the reflective light in the back of our retina, and although there is some discrepancy amongst viewers in general, white or bright yellow eye shine are most likely deer or raccoon and possum depending on the height at which they are seen. Golden, dull yellow are coyotes or dogs. Taking out a flashlight and looking closely in the grasses and forest leaves you can even find brilliant tiny red or green eye shine from spiders, or the slightly larger red shine from rabbits. Nighttime s great master of the hunt, the owls, may be red for a small Screech Owl, or large bright yellow with black pupils of the Great Horned Owl. The hours of darkness are alive and lush with activity, the sounds of soft wings, croaks, cackles, hoots, buzzes, whirs, gnawing, and all the stuff of life... many with a glow all their own.

7 Springwater Trails invites area hikers to join them Summer has arrived in the Finger Lakes Region, and, for those who love to hike, it s time to lace up those hiking boots and get to it with the Springwater Trails hiking group. Formed in 2010, the group hikes year-round at various locales in the Finger Lakes area. Our summer season fare starts off with a hike at Cohocton Town Park and, for those inclined, weather and river level permitting, kayaking down the Cohocton River. Also included in the summer schedule are two hikes in High Tor, the Bristol Branch of the Finger Lakes Trail, Canadice Lake Outlet, All Western Tree Farm and Schribner Valley in Springwater, Atlanta Woods walk at Black Crick Hollow, and Canadice Lake Hike and Kayak. Also scheduled are a couple of trail buildings where we get together to trim overgrown, usually thorny, multiflora and other non-desirable foliage with clippers, loppers, and weed whackers so that we, and others, can hike the trails unencumbered. Hikes run from 4 6 p.m. and are followed by a social where we eat, drink and are merry. This is an adult group and is dog-friendly on most of our hikes. All events are free and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Please check out our website: springwatertrails.org for additional and up-to-date info.

Co-sponsored by the Town of Livonia, The Chip Holt Nature Center is hosting the first ever recycled boat regatta as their annual fundraiser. Prizes will be awarded for the fastest boat, the most creative boat, and the Titanic award for the boat that has the most epic loss! Designed to raise awareness of the free programs being offered at the Nature Center, recycling, protection of our watershed, and protecting Conesus Lake, The Anything That Floats Regatta will be a great family and community event. The rules are simple; boats must be made only of recycled materials. No pool toys, no boats, no hazardous materials, no motors. Paddles and sails must be made of recycled materials as well. Crews of 2 5 people, ages 10 and older may race. All rules, waivers and registration forms can be found on The Chip Holt Nature Center website chipholtnaturecenter.org. The registration fee is $50 and is due by July 25, All proceeds benefit The Chip Holt Nature Center. The Chip Holt Nature Center is located in Vitale Park, at the north end of Conesus Lake. It is a non-profit organization that provides free nature based programs for the local schools and community. Our Nature of Things series is offered monthly. Topics in the past have included speakers on coyotes, bears, the health of Conesus Lake, a wreath making class, butterfly gardens, Wild Wings, and more. Students from the Livonia School district have attended a Marsh Madness program at the Center, learning about the watershed and the walleye spawning. A Summer Nature Camp runs daily from June 29 August 7. This free camp is open to kids 5 10 years of age. All are welcome. Not interested in racing? Come on down and cheer on your favorite team! Food, music, a 50/50 raffle, and an open house at the Nature Center will provide even more fun and enjoyment. Are you a business or community member who would like to sponsor the event?
