Just like in Italy, the Italians in the Mohawk Valley have their little gardens filled with tomato plants and herbs. Malio's is brimming with basil, so he shares a recipe for delicious pesto, make some with fresh basil and freeze it for a mid-

picture of Sands Higinbotham is on
display at Cottage Lawn. Higinbotham
is created with founding Oneida. He
gave the railroad company right-of-way
across his property in the 1800s with
the condition that it stop for 10 minutes
in Oneida when passing through. If you are a fan
of Louisa May Alcott, be sure to ask about the Higinbotham daughters who lived here.
HP Hood LLC
With all the local dairy farms populating the hillsides of the Mohawk Valley, we decided to visit HP Hood, a local processing plant in Oneida. Hood was founded in 1846 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. It employs about 200 people at its facilities in Oneida.

This is a
wonderful opportunity

The Wonderful Wizard of Was
August 22-23-24
Our own, Richard Enders, stars as the Wizard of Was in this For the Good Inc. production. The youth of Utica and Cornhill are joining forces with The Stanley Center for the Arts to bring this production to the newly renovated world stage.
This parody of Frank Baum's children's classic, written by Cassandra Harris-Lockwood, features the most memorable songs from The Wiz and The Wizard of Oz. The play tells the story of the young Utican, Dorothy, who prefers to be called DJ, seeking to rid her neighborhood of drugs and violence and restore life to the way it "Was."
