In 1778 the Wyoming and Cherry Valley massacres prompted those opposed to British rule to urge
General George Washington to take action. The following year he sent Generals Sullivan and Clinton to drive the Iroquois out
of the area and destroy orchards and crops. Their march through central and western New York included parts of southern
Cayuga County, where many veterans settled.

Gloria Ann Barnell Peter Playwright Competition Winner
Adult $10, Senior $8, Student/Children $5
The third annual GABP Playwright competition received exceptional response from a
broad geographical area which resulted in the judges naming co-winners and an honorable mention. Co-winners
are William Duncan for "Trust" and Michael Vukadinovich for "Trog and Clay." Honorable
mention was given to Steve Gold for "A Credit to His Race."
"Trog and Clay", which will be performed this year, is an imagined history of the electric chair,
Edison and Westinghouse's "war of currents" and two foolish dog catchers.
"Trust," which depicts the struggle between Ida Tarbell and J. D. Rockefeller, will be produced as part of
the Morgan Opera House's 2010 season.
Siouxsie Grady, assistant professor of theatre at Wells College, will direct both plays. For more information, see
