ummer is a time of opportunity. Of course, warm

temperatures and sunshine
often inspire the outdoor adventurer to explore the Tri-state
areas plethora of beautiful hiking trails, but thats only part of
it.
For me, the opportunity of
summer is best enacted when
we as social communities bring
outside what was formerly
enclosed in the intimacy of
homes, restaurants and theaters.
For me, summer is all about
live, outdoor music.
Growing up in Salisbury,
Conn., many of my fondest
memories are from the Project
Troubador concerts at the town
Grove. I can recall the many
years I wandered the beach

grounds with family and friends
while sounds from the stage
echoed throughout the Grove.
Another Troubador memory
brings me back to the year that
Red Baraat taught the audience
how to dance in a quasi-Punjabi
style to their energetic, rhythmic music. As the set went on,
a band member directed us in
pretending to screw in a light
bulb with our right hand while
swirling our bodies in a circle.
We probably looked ridiculous, but those of us who tried
couldnt help but smile and
laugh.
And that power from the music sticks with me. Luckily, Im

In recent years, several towns

VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
FOR MUSICIANS
For Eliot Osborn, organizer
of the former Project Troubador
event and band member in the
The Joint Chiefs, the concerts
have a fundamental function
for cultural and communal
cohesiveness.
For him, music is a force of
creating togetherness.
He praised the efforts made by
those who organize the concert
events, adding that local musicians need this kind of environment for their music to grow.
Mollikate Dionne, a young
musician from North Canaan
who has played in several
groups and settings throughout
the region, including Infinity
Music Hall and Bistro in Nor-
folk, Conn., described being

able to play at the local concert
series as a valuable stepping
stone for her career as a pianist,
guitar player and singer. She has
played a variety of genres, but
now focuses on country.
I went from not being OK at
all, she said, referring to public
speaking and performing, to
knowing that no matter what
I do everybody from my hometown is going to support me.
You have to get yourself out
there, she continued, giving advice to any aspiring musicians
in the area. The more things
you do, the more people hear
your name.
Dionnes name has certainly
been heard in North Canaan,
and she still continues to play
for her hometown audience.
This summer, she will perform in North Canaan on
Sunday, July 17, across from McDonalds as part of the annual

A hundred years ago, the

these towns was made live by

Osborn said. This is all it was!

The Joint Chiefs will continue this timeless tradition
on Wednesday, July 20, at the
Sharon Town Green, and on
Thursday, July 28, on the lawn by

Unique Ice Cream Treats
By Cynthia Hochswender
y favorite cookbook authors, who

happen to live in
Colebrook, Conn., have just
released their latest, which
is dedicated to the best of
all summertime foods: ice
cream.
The book is called A la
Mode, an expression that
apparently originated in the
American Midwest in the
late 1800s or early 1900s. It
was used mainly to describe
fruit pies with ice cream on
top. No one seems to know
exactly why a French phrase
(meaning in style) was
imported to describe what,
in my opinion, is a quintessentially American dessert.
These days no one would
really say that plopping
some ice cream on top of a
sweet dessert is fashionable
or au courant. Nonetheless,
the expression sums up the
book: Its all about ice cream
and baked sweeties.
The authors are Mark
Scarbrough and Bruce Weinstein, who come out with a
new cookbook pretty much
every year. One of their very
first mega-selling hits was
The Ultimate Ice Cream
Book, published in 1999.
Since then theyve published
books on everything from
cocktails to pressure cookers to knitting (yes) and now
theyve circled back around
to ice cream this time
paired with other food.
The thing that I most love
about Bruce and Marks
books is that theyre funny
and fun to read. For example, I would never cook or
eat goat meat (even though
its the most popular meat

in the world, apparently).
But I read Bruce and Marks
goat cookbook from cover to
cover; it was like reading a
collection of humor essays.
Theyre also very scientific
about their recipes, which
they test and re-test. Their
books have a Cooks Illustrated quality: When they talk
about techniques, they explain why they work, when
and why shortcuts can work
(or not) and they give a little
bit of history and context.
In their recipe for buttermilk frozen custard, for
example, they talk at length
about the difference between the buttermilk that I
generate when I make fresh
butter versus the cultured
buttermilk that is sold at the
grocery store.
Most buttermilk these
days isnt buttermilk at all,
the introduction to the recipe explains. That is, its not
the leftover liquid from the
butter-making process. Its a
cultured product, similar to
wet yogurt.
Their buttermilk custard
is made with the real thing.
Its easy to make butter and
buttermilk: Take good-quality heavy cream and run it
through your food processor
until it separates into solids
and liquids; the liquid is the
buttermilk, the solid is the
butter.
If youve ever wanted to
learn how to make ice cream
(and better baked goods),
this is a great guidebook. It
has detailed instructions on

ice cream treats

the science of ice cream, on how

to use an ice cream machine
and on how to make creamy
frozen desserts without an ice
cream machine. It tells you
when to be fussy and precise,
and it gives you dispensation to
make adjustments when they
wont impact the final product.
One thing I like about this
cookbook is that it isnt too
edgy or ironic in its ingredients.
There are some unusual flavors
and combinations, but nothing
that made me squirm. So yes,
there is sorghum frozen custard and goat cheese frozen ice
cream, there is chocolate olive
oil ice cream and a salty key
lime tart.
The majority of the recipes,
though, are pretty classic but
not so much that I felt like I
could save myself the $24.99

cover price and just do an internet search. Im fairly certain,
for example, that no one else
has developed a recipe yet for
Indian Pudding Ice Cream (inspired by the classic New England dessert) or Lemon Polenta
Bundt Cake.
As my daughter and I were
flipping through the pages, we
made a priority-order list of
things well try to make ourselves. On the list are the amusingly named Blueberry-Ginger
Slump; the Blackberry Pandowdy; and Mint Candy Ice Cream.
Every ice cream is paired with
a baked treat, and vice versa.
At the top of the list of recipes
were going to try is Pine Nut
Pound Cake with Orange Marmalade Frozen Custard.
Normally, I would test a

recipe out before presenting it
to you. With Mark and Bruces
recipes, that would just be silly;
theyve already extensively
tested everything, and their
guidance is always clear, accurate and excellent.
PINE NUT POUND CAKE
FROM A LA MODE
1/2 cup pine nuts, two sticks
(16 tablespoons) of cool unsalted butter, cut into small bits,
plus additional for greasing, 1
1/4 cups granulated white sugar,
five large eggs at room temperature, 1/4 cup regular or low-fat
sour cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons pure
vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt,
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Put the rack in the center of
your oven and preheat to 325
degrees. Butter the inside of a
9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Toast the
pine nuts by placing them in a
dry skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant

and lightly browned, about 5
minutes. Pour into a bowl, cool
for at least 20 minutes and then
chop into smaller bits.
Beat the butter and sugar in a
large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy
and light, about 5 minutes,
occasionally scraping down the
inside of the bowl. Beat in the
eggs one at a time, adding the
next only after the previous one
has been incorporated. Beat in
the sour cream, vanilla extract
and salt. Keep beating it until
the consistency is light and airy;
Mark and Bruce promise that
you really cant overbeat this
batter.
Turn off the beaters; add the
flour and toasted pine nuts.
Beat at a very low speed until
there are no dry pockets of flour
and you have a fairly stiff batter

FROZEN CUSTARD

The introductory notes warn
that this is a very soft custard

ber spatula to fold the last few

turns). Scrape down and remove
the beaters. Pour and spread the
batter into the prepared loaf
pan.
Bake until a toothpick or cake
tester inserted into the center
of the oven comes out clean,
about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
If the cake begins to brown too
deeply, cover it loosely with
aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time. Cool the
cake in its pan on a wire rack
for 10 minutes; then turn it out
of the pan, right it on the rack
and cool to room temperature,
Heat the cream and milk in a

large saucepan set over medium
heat until puffs of steam rise off
its surface. Meanwhile, beat the
egg yolks and sugar in a large
bowl with an electric mixer at
medium speed until thick and
pale yellow, about 4 minutes,
occasionally scraping down the
inside of the bowl. Beat in the
marmalade and cornstarch.
Beat about half the hot
cream mixture into the egg
yolk mixture in a slow, steady
stream until smooth; then beat
this combined mixture into the
remaining cream mixture in the
pan. Set over low heat and cook,
stirring constantly, until the
custard thickly coats the back of
a wooden spoon and the temperature registers 170 degrees (4

to 7 minutes).
Pour the mixture into a bowl
and refrigerate for at least four
hours or up to two days, covering it once the custard is cold.
Prepare an ice cream machine. Stir the cold custard
once more and freeze it in
the machine according to
the manufacturers instructions, until you can spoon up
a mound without edges that
instantly melt. Store in a sealed
container in the freezer for up
to one month.

A Pulse-Racing Season
At Lime Rock Park
By Alexander Wilburn
ith the scenic hills

of Connecticuts
Litchfield County
in the background, Lime
Rock Park has long attracted
race fans through beauty
the pastoral scenery and, of
course, the sleekly designed
cars zooming across the track
at the speed of lightning.
After a multi-milliondollar reconstruction, Skip
Barbers motorsport raceway
is looking better than ever,
and new fans are always
welcome.
Press and PR Spokesperson Rick Roso took the time
to speak on whats coming
up at Lime Rock, all while a
sparkling Aston Martin and
cherry red Ferrari California
were parked on the pristine
new paddock. If that whets
your appetite, just wait. Its
going to be an exciting summer for sure.
IMSA WEATHERTECH
SPORTSCAR SERIES
On Friday and Saturday,
July 22 and 23, Lime Rock
will host what Roso calls
one of our biggest events of
the year the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Northeast Grand Prix.
Those are the same cars
that race at Le Mans. Theyre
the same cars that race at
Daytona. They have a number of different classes, so
not all classes race at every
venue, Roso said. For Lime
Rock this year we get the
prototype challenge cars,
and then whats called GT Le
Mans. Those are what most
people will be excited about.
The Corvettes, the new 4GT,
the Porches. Its probably
our largest single-day attendance.
THE HISTORIC FESTIVAL
Roso said the Historic
Festival will be held Labor
Day weekend, running from
Thursday, Sept. 1, through
Monday, Sept. 5.
The race car parade starts
at Lime Rock Parks Sam
Posey Straight on Thursday,
Sept. 1, at 4 p.m. More than
120 cars are expected to take
a 17-mile route along local
roads through Lakeville and
Salisbury as parade-goers
line the sidewalks.

Friday is all practice and
qualifying, and Saturday every
race group has two races. So you
race in the morning, theres a
lunch break with demo laps,
then the afternoon is racing,
Roso explained.
He was excited to talk about
Sunday in the Park Concours
dElegance, which will be held
on Sept. 4.
Sunday is crazy 300 Concours-quality cars on Sam Posey
Straight, and then the rest the
of the track is just filled with
people bringing cool cars! Car
clubs, collectibles, anything
thats cool and nice. You can
come walk the 1.5 miles around
the track. Its just great for
everyone. There are vendors and
food and music.
FERRARI CHALLENGE
The Ferrari Challenge will be
held on Saturday, Sept. 24.
If youre a car fan, particularly a Ferrari aficionado, its
something to see, Roso said.
Ferraris are great cars, and its
great racing. The whole paddock is nothing but Ferrari. Ferrari brings old F1 cars, like 01, 02,
05, Michael Schumacher cars.
A PARK FOR FAMILIES

What makes Lime Rock Park a
summer destination? Roso says
its all about the experience.
You bring your picnic blanket, you bring your lawn chairs
and you sit on the hillside.
There are no grandstands here,
and thats by design, Roso said.
We dont charge for parking.
We dont charge guests who are
16 and under.
Roso emphasized that the
park offers a family-friendly
atmosphere, but noted that
hardcore racing fans can get
right up to the track.
Youre not even 30 feet away.
If youre a car nut, this is heaven, he said. If you dont know
a McLaren from a Ferrari, its
still heaven because youve got

Extraordinary Music
In a Beautiful Setting
By Bruce T. Paddock
orfolk is a remote community tucked away in

the Connecticut countryside. Many of its residents love
this aspect of the town. Some
chose to live here because of it.
But the fact that Norfolk is remote doesnt mean its isolated.
Every summer, some of the best
musicians in the world come to
Norfolk to learn, to teach, and to
perform.
We are primarily a school,
Jim Nelson, the general manager of the Norfolk Chamber
Music Festival, said during a
recent interview. And then the
festival is a part of that.
The Yale School of Music is a
graduate-level program based,
not surprisingly, in New Haven.

But it holds its three summer
sessions in Norfolk.
Nelson says of the students,
I like to say that theyre done
with Juilliard and Eastman and
the Royal Conservatory and
the Paris Conservatoire, and
then they come to us. He adds,
matter-of-factly, We get the best
students in the world.
The school also gets some
of the best performers in the
world to serve as instructors.
They stay for a week, so over a
six-week session, students get
one-on-one instruction (or, in
the case of quartets, one-on-four

fter a long climb, the reward for hikers is often a

viewpoint of some sort.
But Sages Ravine in Salisbury,
Conn., is the opposite a hemlock gorge about a mile long
where you sink deep below the
ridgeline of the Taconic Range
into a shaded, watery world that
is famed to be one of the most
beautiful spots along the Appalachian Trail.
I meet a lot of AT hikers, and
many of them gush about it.
A thru-hiker from Wisconsin
explained that on the AT, All
youre seeing is trees a lot, and
this is actually something scenic. Its not up high, but its kind
of a fairyland, and emerald, and
theres moss everywhere. The
water was shockingly cold ...
that kind of take-your-breathaway cold.
All this water feeds the

Schenob Brook Basin, a unique
biologically diverse area, which
was nearly drowned in the 1970s
by a proposed reservoir project.
FINDING A PERFECT POOL
I wanted to see it for myself.
The lower portion of Sages
Ravine can be accessed from an
unmarked trailhead on Route
41 just south of the ConnecticutMassachusetts line. A small pulloff has room for a few cars. The
trail isnt too well marked, and
is sometimes a tight squeeze
through mountain laurel, but
basically, just follow the brook.
In barely 10 minutes, I
reached one perfect pool, with
water cascading above it off the
mountain. It was 90 degrees out
but felt at least 10 degrees cooler
here, especially if you jump in
the frigid pool which I did.

Sages Ravine features nooks, crannies, small waterfalls and gentle pools.
It may be possible to climb

further up the ravine here, but I
didnt. I wanted to see the whole
thing.
OTHER ACCESS OPTIONS
The most accessible trailhead
is the Undermountain Trail,
which has a large parking lot on
Route 41. But if you dont want a
four-hour, seven-plus-mile hike,
you can also access Sages Ravine
by taking Mount Washington

Road down from Egremont,
Mass. After it turns to East Street
and crosses the Connecticut
line, there is a trailhead that lets
you access the ravine in half an
hour or less.
From the Undermountain
Trail, which I took, it is 3.2 miles

a hike

to the entrance of the ravine,
and then youll want to wander
another half mile or so. But the
hike is fairly level apart from
the strenuous Undermountain
Trail itself.
In 1.1 miles, the Undermountain Trail meets the Paradise
Lane Trail, which you should
take for an easy hike. You can
also keep going on the Undermountain, which hits the AT
and traverses Bear Mountain.
Thats what I did, and the view
was worth it from this highest
peak in Connecticut (2,316 feet).
This route only adds 0.2 miles in
distance to the 3.2 mile hike in,
but is far more strenuous, with a
steep rock scramble to descend
the mountain.
Either way, youll hit a sign
marking the ravine, and the AT
takes you down past a plank

Ravine campsite. In the summer, the Appalachian Mountain

Club keeps a caretaker there. It
can fill up pretty quickly, if you
plan to camp.
The brook tumbles delightfully in a series of small waterfalls, and creates many gentle
pools that are perfect for taking a dunk. This is a place that
invites one to linger.
While the nooks and crannies along the stream bank are
inviting, they are also somewhat fragile, so try to keep your
impact low while exploring.
The walls of the ravine got
taller as I went in. Thrushes and
other birds of deep hemlock
woods sang their ethereal songs
and darted all around.
Up beyond the walls of the
gorge, it was bright and sunny.
But it was evening already, and
the ravine was getting dim. I
took the required cold dip and
headed home. The way back
is nearly all downhill, and my
headlamp worked great.

Paintball:
A
Fun
Way
to
Exercise
for
All
Ages
By Darryl Gangloff
f youre looking to get some

exercise in a teamwork setting this summer, consider
visiting Modern Paintball Club in
Falls Village, Conn.
Modern Paintball is a private
club open to introductory trial
members, members and their
guests, said Brian Paliwoda, who
co-owns the club with Brendan
Nania.
The pair enjoyed playing
paintball a game in which players shoot paint-filled pellets at
each other to mark when theyve
been hit while attending
Housatonic Valley Regional High
School, and they wanted to bring
the sport to more people.
They searched for a piece of
property, signed a lease for land
on Under Mountain Road in 2012
and, after receiving the towns
approval, opened their private
club to members of all ages. Pali-
woda said their youngest player

is 10, and their oldest is in his late
60s.
Modern Paintball Club offers a
variety of memberships, but the
most common are trial memberships and gold memberships.
The trial is perfect for players
who are interested in trying out
the sport without a commitment. It costs $25 for the first day,
and you can return twice within
six months for $20 each day.
The gold membership is similar to a season pass for $250,
you receive a one-year unlimited
membership, as well as a 10 percent discount on paintballs and
rental packages.
These rental packages include
all of the items necessary to play:
a paintball gun, compressed air,
goggles and of course a bag
of paintballs.
Those goggles are important,
because safety is key in paintball.

Paintball is one of safest
sports you can play, Paliwoda
said. There are less injuries per
100,000 participants than any
other commonly played sport.
The most common injuries are
twisted ankles or things like that.
We always have guides (aka referees) on the field to make sure
everyone is safe.
The fields help set paintball
apart from other sports. They
dont follow specific guidelines,
like a football or soccer field
they can be as wild as the imagination of the creators. Modern
Paintball Club currently has nine
fields, which can be updated
with all sorts of obstacles.
Weve put a lot of time and
effort into the Forest of the Dead
field, Paliwoda said. Its 400 feet
long by 150 feet wide. There are
four cabins built on it, as well as
rock walls, log piles and a trench.

A stream goes through it.
Modern Paintball Club is open
for reservations on weekends
(they require eight players, 72
hours notice and a 50 percent
deposit), but theyve also started
something new this year: The
third Sunday of the month is
open play for walk-ons from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m.
Theyre also hosting an event
based on Game of Thrones on
Sunday, July 31, from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. Preregistration ends July 24.
When does their season end?
As long as the weather is nice,
well play. Below 40 degrees the
equipment starts acting up.
Modern Paintball Club is located
at 1 Under Mountain Road in Falls
Village, Conn. For more information, go to www.modernpb.com or
send a message via Facebook.

world-class musicians.
MUSIC FESTIVAL OFFERS
MANY PUBLIC EVENTS
Of course, none of this would
mean much to local residents
if not for Nelsons chamber
music festival. Between June 26
and Aug. 27, the festival offers
36 events that are open to the
public, 21 of which are free.
On Thursday nights and
Saturday mornings, students
perform the pieces they are
working on in concert. Friday
and Saturday night concerts
feature members of the faculty.
Wednesday evenings are
devoted to piano master classes.
A student presents a piece, and
then an instructor offers advice
and suggestions on how to improve everything from timing
and interpretation to technique
and mechanics. The entire lesson is open to the public.
One-offs include a fundraising gala on July 16, a family-oriented open house on Aug. 7 and
the Norfolk Listening Club on
Aug. 10, which is led by Nelson
himself and billed as an opportunity for both the experienced
concertgoer and the classical
music novice to enjoy an informal discussion of chamber music among friends. Nelson says
he intends to get participants
actively involved in discussing their likes and dislikes and
more.
IMPRESSIVE SOUNDS
IN AN INTIMATE SPACE
The concerts all take place
in the festivals Music Shed. It
seems that shed is or was
in the 1920s the generic term
for a concert space at a summer
venue. From the outside, this
shed looks like a rambling country home. Inside, it looks like a
barn and sounds like a top-level
concert hall.
The best part about the space
(from this writers perspective,

anyway) is that there is seating
on both sides of the stage. For
large concerts, musicians play
to a 700ish-seat house. But the
baffles behind the performers
are movable. For the free events,
such as the student concerts
and the master classes, the
baffles are placed on the other
side of the stage, blocking off
the huge hall. On this side are
maybe 200 seats, few of which
are more than 20 or so feet from
the stage. You couldnt ask for a
more intimate space.
AN UNLIKELY MUSE
IS ENJOYABLE FOR ALL
I asked Nelson to recommend an event for someone
like me who enjoys listening to
music but knows next to nothing about classical composers
and musicians or about chamber music. He suggested An
Unlikely Muse, which will be
presented on Saturday, Aug. 13,
at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $30
to $100.
Developed by Harry Clark
as a sort of hybrid between
a play and a concert, An Unlikely Muse tells the story of
Johannes Brahms and the clarinet player who inspired him to
come out of retirement near the
end of his life.
Weve got David Shifrin
top clarinetist. Weve got Andr
Watts top pianist. And then we
have a couple of student groups
as well. Theyre doing this whole
presentation on Brahms with
clarinet music and some other
things in there. And an actor,
Jack Gilpin, is coming in to play
Brahms and carry the story
along.
Quoting the late founder of
the Hartt School, Nelson said,
For the average guy in the
street who doesnt know the
difference between Beethoven
and a ham sandwich, I think
PHOTO BY LISA MARIE MAZZUCCO
The Emerson String Quartet will perform on Saturday, Aug. 6, at 8 p.m.
this could be a fun, interesting,

and enjoyable evening.
As most Norfolk residents
know, the music school sits on
an absurdly beautiful piece of
property with rolling fields,
gardens, woods and streams
crossed by stone bridges. So
bring your ham sandwiches and
a bottle of wine or beer, have
a picnic, and then enjoy some

extraordinary music.
Performances for the Norfolk
Chamber Music Festival are held
in the Music Shed on the grounds
of the Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate,
located at 20 Litchfield Road in
Norfolk. For the full schedule,

they wanted to raise goats for the county fair, John financed

there were no 4H market goats at the fair. Johns kids

Walbridge Farm is a sustainable Registered Black Angus farm located in Millbrook, New York.
Our pasture raised angus is grass fed and nonGMO grain finished. Their diet consists of our own silage cornlage, sunflower meal
and haylage grown on Walbridge Farms 900 acres plus the additional 700 acres we farm. We do not spray our fields with pesticides or
insecticides, our soils and water are tested yearly, our crops are rotated in order to care for the nutrients in the soils and our cattle are
moved throughout our fields in order to preserve our pastures.
To do all this we must invest more.But it is of utmost importance to us, as committed stewards of the land, to have a
well maintained and healthy farm at all times.
