Ithaca Falls on Sept. 7, 2012
See it here or on TV! Recorded on September 12, 2012, and cablecast on Ithaca, NY’s cable public access TV channel 13. Host Tony Ingraham acknowledges the anniversary of the floods caused by Tropical Storm Lee a year ago by showing the popular short video he made at the time, called “Ithaca’s Gorges Flood.” We also look at the flood’s effects on Owego and Binghamton, NY. For levity, see Granny’s Pig Race at the Northampton, MA Tri-County Fair. And we visit Ithaca Falls, Buttermilk Glen, Enfield Glen in Robert H. Treman State Park, and take a close look at one of our native wildflowers.

The next episode will be shown first this Thursday, Sept. 20, at 9:00 p.m.

Wonderful images of Buttermilk Falls flooding one year and barely dripping the next. And now I know that jewelweed is native. The pig race made me howl. I wonder if the same pig always wins–but there must be enough Oreos for everyone. Over here on Seneca Lake, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wed. Sept. 26 at 2 pm at the Hector Fire House for the NYS Route 414 Seneca Lake Scenic Byway. Local conservationists will turn out to support responsible development and the tourist industry. Rt. 414 is beautiful! Thanks for keeping us conscious of the beauty of our area.
Yay, congratulations on the scenic byway! Now the Finger Lakes portion of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor will have three scenic byways (including Cayuga Lake and Route 90). Tourism yes! Pollution no!
