Local entertainment icon passes away Joan Vadeboncoeur lit up lives with her reviews By Russ Tarby Whenever Joan E. Vadeboncoeur reviewed a movie at a private press screening, she brought her own ashtray and chain-smoked through the entire film. She was a character, every bit as colorful as those she wrote about. She knew who she was, and you could take it or leave it. But she also had a soft side, one that endeared her to her colleagues and sources alike. “She was a veritable treasure trove of information and she knew every television, theater motion picture and media celebrity to ever emerge from this burg,� said Frank Malfitano, who worked with her on the 1986 Syracuse tribute to Jimmy Van Heusen and on the early-1990s Walk of Stars outside the Landmark Theatre.
The leading critic of films and theater at the Syracuse Newspapers since 1954, Vadeboncoeur sported kids’ socks with images of rabbits or offbeat stripe patterns. Whenever she reviewed a stage play, she’d be up out of her seat and out the door before the curtain call. Her affinity for cigarettes Joan E. – having out-lived its politically Vadeboncoeur correctness in recent years – was celebrated nonetheless by “Joanie’s Smoke Break,� a clever series of video interviews shot by Post-Standard feature writer Hart Seely. Vadeboncoeur died Jan. 4 at her Cazenovia home. She was 78. See Joan, page 6 syracusepressclub.org photo

The Cazenovia village board meeting on Monday Jan. 3 began with a public hearing about keeping chickens within village limits. Board members examined and rejected a proposed law to allow fowl as pets. The proposed law, titled “A local law to amend the Code of the Village of Cazenovia regarding the keeping of domestic animals,� aimed to designate chickens as domestic animals, allowing citizens to keep them as personal pets. Under the provisions of Chapter 50 and Section 180-7 of the village code, non-domestic animals are not to be kept on property inside the village. This issue was first brought forth in June of 2010. Village resident William Wester asked the board to reconsider the keeping of chickens, suggesting a number of advantages. Some board members raised negative aspects of raising fowl, noise and odor among them. Wester defended his proposal, explaining that a maximum of six chickens would keep odor and noise to a minimum, and no roosters would be allowed. The board rejected the proposed amendment, meaning the personal possession of fowl will remain illegal within village limits. Cazenovia code currently allows the keeping of domestic animals such as “dogs, cats, fish, turtles, gerbils, guinea pigs, and other household pets customarily kept in glass enclosures.� The code indicates that animals classified as non-domestic such as fowl, waterfowl, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, horses and other wild animals are not allowed in the village. Although many village residents attended the public hearing, See Chickens, page 3

Upon reflecting on 2010, I’d say that what I am most pleased about is the way the village board has worked together and openly with village residents to address the serious issues facing the village. Unlike the state and federal governments, the process has been harmonious and deliberate, often resulting in unanimous decisions. For 2011, I hope we will continue to make progress on parking, Riverside [Drive] and our aging water and sewer systems, among other things.

Post 88 nominates Dumas for Legionnaire of the Year Submitted by Al Keilen John J. Mott, Commander of the Cazenovia American Legion Post 88, announced that Legion member Robert R. Dumas of Overlook Terrace in the town of Cazenovia has been entered as Post 88’s candidate for New York State Legionnaire of the Year 2011. All candidates for this recognition are judged on attendance at post meetings, post functions, hours spent working in and for the post along with dedication, leadership, and service to the post, fellow veterans, and the community. Each candidate must win the support of their post, county and district before making it to the state level competition. Robert Dumas is a 65-year member of the American Legion, a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Simon Pierce Post 9596 and a proud World War II veteran. Robert was born in Valleyfield Quebec, Canada and has lived in Cazenovia since 1964. He joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and was quickly sent to North Africa in the area of the French Morocco. Prior to this overseas departure, he became a United States citizen. As an Allied Infantry Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne, he made a landing craft invasion at Anzio beach in 1943, and a combat parachute jump in Holland in 1944. He

By Pierce Smith Deputy Fire Chief Gil Hodges’ proposal to acquire the property at 6 Farnham Street, next to the firehouse, was met with concern at the Cazenovia Village Board meeting on Jan. 3. Hodges explained the Cazenovia Fire Department’s plan to purchase the neighboring property and outlined future possibilities. “Short term, we would use the property
as a training facility. Then we would tear the building down in a year or two, to make that more parking. We could make about 11 spots total, which would double our capacity,� Hodges said. “As it stands right now, we have no room to expand. We are at our limit� In addition to training and parking, purchasing the adjoining land would allow expansion of the firehouse itself. More See Expansion, page 7

Opinion My last issue
When I graduated from high school, I swore I was never coming back. That I ended up in a college town seemingly more remote than Cazenovia was inconsequential. But then I graduated, and I found a job back home. It was a good job, an interesting job, and as a bonus, I could live rent-free with my parents for as long as I wanted! The best part? I could get paid to learn. Campbell I hardly knew the From the difference between the village and the town of Cazenovia before I started at Eagle Newspapers. But between the challenges of reporting local news, taking photos and putting together an entire newspaper every week, I slowly grew both as a journalist and as a plain old person. While I was editor, my parents were always an invaluable resource. Even after a year and a half, when I finally moved out of my childhood bedroom into my own apartment, they kept e-mailing and calling with leads. My mom’s job as a teacher in the district and my dad’s knack for striking up a conversation with pretty much anybody made them two of my best sources. But now, after just about two years as editor of the Cazenovia Republican, it looks like my time is up. Don’t worry! I’ll still be around; if you try to call Eagle Newspapers and dial the wrong extension, there’s a small chance you’ll reach me. I’m excited to be moving into a new position at Eagle, managing our online presence and contributing in varying degrees to many aspects of our publications. Replacing me will be Pierce Smith, a rookie reporter with a suspiciously familiar backstory — a graduate of Cazenovia High School, Pierce has been writing for us since the summer, and will be an excellent fit at Eagle. I’d like to thank everyone who has helped me and contributed to this paper for the last two years. It was never my paper, but yours, and I was incredibly fortunate to be given stewardship of it, however briefly. Please, keep sending your stories, updates and photos to Pierce. His e-mail address will be editor@ cazenoviarepublican.com. And if you need to reach me, I’ll be at doug@eaglenewsonline.com. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you.

Letters Compensation for teachers, administrators, staff not sustainable
To the editor: In the latest issue of the Blue and Gold, Mr. Bill Furlong outlined the dire situation the school district faces as it prepares the 2011 – 2012 budget for our school district. Mr. Furlong points out that cuts required to balance the budget will directly and adversely affect our children’s education. What Mr. Furlong’s article does not address is compensation for administrators, teachers and staff. Voters are being asked to make a meaningful decision without all the necessary information. Contract negotiations are still underway between the administration and the teacher’s association. As such, taxpayers are not allowed to be informed of the progress of the negotiation, or the potential impact of its final terms, yet we are expected to vote on a budget that funds the contract. Once again we are in a no-win situation. If we vote the budget down we hurt our kids. If we vote for the budget we conceivably agree to be taxed at a higher rate to provide funding for a teacher’s contract we do not agree with. Can the board really expect us to pay more for less service? The concept makes absolutely no sense but this is the situation the state of New York and the New York State United Teachers have put us in. The issue of teacher’s compensation is a divisive subject with strong feelings on both sides. The first step toward coming to substantial, meaningful solutions on a local level is to agree that we can openly and honestly discuss the subject of teacher’s compensation without fear of reprisal. We need to remove the emotion from the discussion and focus on the facts. The current system is totally unsustainable. If we continue down this path the district will certainly lose students. Those that can afford to send their kids to private schools will do so. A loss in student population translates directly to a loss in state aid. Foreseeably, we can end up with a small student population being taught only the basics by highly compensated state employees. Our community has always taken great pride in our school district and
the quality of our children’s education. We are on the verge of losing this valuable asset. Instead of cutting educational opportunities, I propose volunteers be used to fill the gaps. We are fortunate to live in a community that possesses a highly experienced and educated populace. I’m sure many would be willing to volunteer. We also need to appeal to our state representatives for immediate, temporary relief from unfunded state mandates, such as local school districts picking up the tab for underfunded pension plans. If alternate sources of funding exist, our district needs to aggressively seek them out. The administration should carefully consider a tax increase or diminished educational opportunities to our children unless the district is willing to reduce teacher compensation by the same degree. I would encourage those in agreement with my position to sign my petition at cazcontract.com. Jerry Romagnoli Cazenovia
Progress report: Historical resources project well underway
To the editor: The town of Cazenovia’s project to identify and inventory its historic and architectural resources has reached a significant milestone: Over 300 properties have been identified as having potential significance to the history, culture, or broad economic development of the town! Searching for our history has uncovered many unknown treasures, however, we still need your help! Establishing a record in time of the property requires a photograph. Team members on the project have been searching the neighborhoods, taking photographs. But many of the properties cannot be seen from the road. If you suspect or know your property to be old and you know it cannot be seen, please contact us and we will arrange for someone to stop by. Only the exterior of the buildings or house will be photographed. All such properties become candidates for further research as to their original owners’ part in making Cazenovia what it is today.
Be a part of Cazenovia’s history. Contact Sarah Webster at dpswebster@aol.com or Sara Chevako at stchevako@frontiernet.net to include your property in Cazenovia’s historical inventory. And in the meantime, see how much you know of Cazenovia by checking out the Discovering Cazenovia’s History column appearing every two weeks in this paper.

Wanderers’ Rest helped over 600 animals in 2010
To the editor: 2010 was a great year for Wanderers’ Rest Human Association During the year, we reunited 170 stray dogs with their families. A total of 461 cats and dogs were adopted into new, loving, forever homes. And 27 healthy but unadoptable dogs were transferred to our partner rescue organizations. We also provided spay/neuter assistance to 76 incomeeligible families and emergency food and supplies to others, enabling many families to keep their pets in their homes. On behalf of the cats and dogs we serve, we are very thankful for the support we received from generous donors throughout Central New York, and for our fruitful, contracted partnership with Madison County. We are also grateful to volunteers who volunteered in the shelter, at community events, and in their homes where they provided respite for many of cats and dogs through our foster program. As we look forward to 2011 – our thirty year anniversary – we anticipate another very successful year as we continue to shelter, heal and enrich unwanted or stray cats and dogs, and as we educate our community on the importance of responsible and humane pet ownership. If your travels bring you to Canastota, please stop by the shelter to visit with cats and dogs that are eager to meet you, or find us on the website at wanderersrest.org. Glenn H. Ivers Executive Director Wanderer’s Rest

Everything about Blenheim is grand: the front of the house is 856 feet wide; it has hundreds of rooms and covers a full seven acres of land. The land itself was a gift to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough by Queen Anne in thanks for the Duke’s victory at the Battle of Blenheim. Construction began in 1705 as a kind of monument to Queen
things get sticky, because the Duke’s wife, Duchess Sarah, who was a favorite of Queen Anne, argued with the architect Vanbrugh until he resigned. Then, Sarah fell out of favor with the Queen, so much so that the Marlboroughs fled the country for a brief time. Originally budgeted at 30,000 pounds, the final bill was about ten times that and eventually, the duke paid to complete the palace. The duke must have been

The twopound melons have a thick rind and intoxicatingly fragrant deep red-orange flesh. The seed cavity is small so there is more “meat” than one would expect. Like all melons these prefer warm soil and lots of sun. You can start them indoors about four weeks See Garden, page 5

Garden From page 4 before setting them out or you can direct seed them in the garden once the soil is warm and all danger of frost has passed. A sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.5 to 8 is best. In the garden plant the seeds about an inch deep in hills of six seeds each. Space the hills about two feet apart in the row. Keep a good five feet between each row. You can improve yields by pruning the ends of the vines when they are about three feet long. Blenheim Orange melons do best with plentiful watering for
steady growth. Once the melons reach full size cut back on the watering so the melons don’t become mushy. Try not to water overhead, which can lead to mildew, though this variety is quite resistant to mildew. During the growing season, side dress the melons with compost or manure tea every 2 to 3 weeks. Muskmelons do well when planted near “companion plants” such as corn, radishes, beans, and flowering nasturtiums. Seeds of Blenheim Palace Orange Muskmelon are available from heirloom
Looking forward Our To Do list for 2011 is already lengthy, and I look forward to facing these challenges with the village team and the community. We will not be treating the lake this year, but will rather monitor the sparse remaining milfoil plants and observe their behavior. In the meantime, we will continue our other lake health efforts, focusing on other initiatives within the Watershed Management Plan such as stormwater runoff and drainage projects. The Tree Commission is beginning work on a tree care ordinance to fulfill the application requirements for the Tree City USA designation, and is planning another seminar. We will begin the restoration of Carpenter’s Barn using the $250,000 grant that was received in 2010, and we will continue to seek a permanent, potentially community-based use for this special property. We will continue to look for ways to encourage economic development, and will watch the progress of such proposed projects as Riverside Drive and the potential brewfarm, which could bring new services and industry to the village. Lastly, we have just received the first phase of the Shared Services Committee report, and look forward to exploring
seed sources such as Seeds of Change (888-762-7333 or seedsofchange.com) or High Mowing Seeds (802472-6174 or highmowingseeds.com). If you don’t want the vines to sprawl you can train them up a sturdy trellis or fence and use netting or old stockings to support the two pond fruits. If grown on the ground you may want to place a board or straw under the ripening fruits so they don’t come in contact with wet soil and rot. Your Blenheim Orange melons will be ripe when

We sat down with Robert Dubik, who listed some of his proudest accomplishments. “At the top of the list has to be the Field Hockey team,” he said. “I think the district’s proudest moment is our accomplishment of how well our students do, both in the classroom and on the athletic field. “We’re halfway done with the $12.5 million [capital] project that the community supported.” “Our graduation rate was 92 percent,” he said. “We are one of the highest in the area.” “We’re proud of what the kids do, you know, their community service. They’re required to do community service, but they go over and above. “We have additional classes and reading programs at Burton Street that have been recognized statewide. We have people calling us from the states of Oregon and Washington. “We’re always looking for grants, and our teachers have done a great job. “The quality of our students and teachers is very high.” they can “slip” off the vine easily. If the melon requires more than just a little pressure to come loose from the vine, then it isn’t ripe yet.

parks. I am always excited to see creative solutions, especially those that lead to greater use of our parks. The Tree Commission continued its efforts to monitor the village tree inventory, identify planting sites, and often wielded the shovels themselves. I am very proud of this volunteer group and grateful for their dedication to our tree canopy, which is one of the village’s most striking features. 21 trees were installed in 2010 throughout the village, including several memorial trees, and of course the new fledgling village Christmas tree, which was planted to honor Arbor Day and will be called into service in the future when our current tree expires. The commission also sponsored a well-attended educational seminar. Finally, I am proud of my colleagues on the board and all of the village staff. As the mayor pointed out, we waded through a tremendous amount of legislation and issues in 2010. Whether we were all in agreement or not – and we are not always – the group has an excellent working relationship and a huge amount of mutual respect for one another. We take in an enormous amount of public input, as well as input from each other, and consistently throughout my tenure I have seen thoughtful, creative, dedicated problem-

land Park in July, which saw 75 kids participate in a fishing derby in the lagoon, orchestrated by conservationists and the DEC. All of these measures were closely intertwined, and it was very exciting to see so many groups bond together to protect our most precious asset. Our parks continued to be used heavily and enjoyed by many, which was very satisfying given the troubling near-closure of many of our surrounding state parks due to budget woes. Our parks hosted the Chamber Concert Series, the farmers market, the softball league, the Joint Youth Rec Program, youth baseball, hockey and lacrosse, not to mention the hundreds who enjoyed the playgrounds, the skating rinks, the swimming areas, or just a place to enjoy our spectacular natural beauty. Many thanks go to our phenomenal DPW for their tireless upkeep of these resources. Thanks as well go to the community members who helped initiate new, creative, and resourceful uses for our parks. I am delighted to see the box lacrosse program at Burton Street rink continue, and equally delighted to see the Rowing Club set up its winter training program in Carpenter’s Barn.

Fallan Hogan, who was raised in Cazenovia, “We used to think, ‘Joan Vadeboncoeur’s coming!’ And it was like Walter Kerr coming from the New York Times … She was a fair, fair critic. It didn’t matter that I was from Cazenovia. If I didn’t do a good job, she’d write it. She was fair. She was honest. She was hilarious.” For her fellow journalists, she was a constant source of inspiration and information. Whenever they needed to contact an entertainer, she never hesitated to help, and her jam-packed Rolodex rarely failed her. Over the years she interviewed stars such as Robin Williams, Julie Andrews and Dennis Quaid, but her favorite subjects were Central New York performers who distinguished themselves on the world stage, people like Fallon, Thommie Walsh, Richard Gere, Ben Burtt and Richard Jay-Al-
exander. “For me, Joanie was the last of those iconic newspaper dames I saw in the movie houses of yesteryear and in the films she so loved she almost certainly would’ve had to have been played by the great Bette Davis,” Malfitano said. “No one else could have come close to capturing Joanie’s presence and power on screen. She was a giant and Hollywood would’ve had to cast a giant to play her.” She was predeceased by her parents, Curly and Orletta Vadeboncoeur, and is survived by two cousins, Jayne Street and Faye Brooks.

would receive payment in lieu of taxes. Even though they would be physically connected, the first floor medical complex would be considered a separate entity from the housing. The medial center will not be exempt from taxes, and could generate some tax revenue for the village. Shannon also offered positive aspects to developing, noting that the improvements would be beneficial to Cazenovia both financially and aesthetically. The former, and long unused, home of Pepi’s Pizza would be torn down to make an entrance to the facilities. About $2 million of funding is still needed to proceed, and the proposal was critiqued by many of the public members in attendance. The board decided to table the discussion after a number of comments and deliberation made it clear that more planning and the consideration of other viable options is still necessary. The item will be added to the agenda for next month’s Feb. 7 village board meeting.

The fate of development on Riverside Drive in downtown Cazenovia remains unclear. At Monday’s village board meeting, the proposal to construct senior housing and a medical center behind the Cazenovia Public Library was presented by developers Ed Green and Scott Shannon. Their presentation was met with opposition from some local business owners and uncertainty from village citizens. The plans for the Riverside Drive development include 24 apartments and a medical center on the vacant lot behind the Cazenovia Public Library, accessible from Riverside Drive. After three revisions, the most recent plans call for a single two-story structure. The hospital will occupy the first floor and housing units will be located on the second. Green explained the advantages of proceeding with construction. “First of all, parking for the library will increase. We will wind
up with a park. We will wind up with St. Joseph’s, a major center, and have a strong street presence,” he said. “There is also going to be some chance for more profit for the village, regarding two sites that are going to come out of this project that can be resold to a third party” Green and Shannon may have found interested partners, the non-profit management company, Christopher Community, currently constructing senior housing facilities in DeWitt. The proposal was initially rejected by the village because the subsidized housing would be exempt from taxation. The board was willing to take a second look at the plan because of the Christopher Community’s ability to generate additional revenue, and obtain federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Green explained that he is currently pursuing a PILOT agreement between Christopher Community and Cazenovia. The senior housing will be tax exempt, but the village
space for equipment and offices could be added, eventually including live-in quarters for a team of professional firefighters. The building and .11 acres of land at 6 Farnham St. are currently listed at a price of $110,000. Hodges and members of the fire department are optimistic that the amount is fair and wish to acquire the property before another offer is made, losing the opportunity for expansion. Village Trustee Peggy Van Arnam voiced her concerns with proceeding. Arnam said she felt more information and planning was needed before the funds could be appropriated, and a number of townspeople in attendance agreed. Others at the meeting said that properties around the same location in better condition have been sold for less. Feeling that the asking price was too currently too high, the board recommended an independent third party appraisal be conducted before moving forward. The Cazenovia Fire Depart-

ment had previously encountered issues with expansion. The station was formerly located at 90 Albany St., the current home of the police station and municipal building. The initial move was made because the growing department called for more space. But now they have new reasons to expand. Some of the fire department’s equipment is currently stored in a shed at the department of public works. While the two locations are relatively close together, volunteer members said it is difficult and inconvenient to gather equipment from multiple sites. The purchase proposal was postponed as an agenda item for next month’s meeting. It was established that more due diligence is needed, pertaining to the plans for expansion and real estate prices. Hodges was also asked to consider alternate options, such as adding a third story to the fire department’s current structure and negotiating a parking agreement with Buyea’s True Value Hardware. The next village board meeting be held Feb. 7.

Years past In history
From the Madison County Historian
125 Years Ago January 14, 1886 – The intense cold of this week almost suspended business in some places. Tuesday morning the thermometer ranged all the way from 20 to 40 degrees below zero in this village. The ice is reported as being eight inches thick on the lake. If the present cold weather continues, the harvest will soon commence, giving employment to a large force of men. At the raffle in Eggleston’s for an accordion, Geo. Stevenson was the lucky man. There was never so great a demand for houses and stores as there is this year, and the supply is not equal to the demand.
equipment of lamps and reflectors. On account of the superior efficiency of the Tungstoen lamp it will be possible to supply current to the enlarged system of 140 poles for the same money as the present system of 78 poles requires. Messrs. A.D. Blodgett, F.C. Blodgett of Syracuse and H.G. Blodgett of this village have purchased the omnibus and baggage business of Mr. Geo. S. Shute and will take possession on Jan. 15th. The Blodgetts are all Cazenovia boys and they will doubtless enjoy the liberal patronage which has always been accorded Mr. Shute. For fifty years Mr. Shute has been driving stage and he has earned a much needed rest.
100 Years Ago January 12, 1911 – The ice harvest on Cazenovia lake has commenced. Scraping was started on Thursday and ice was cut the first of this week. It is about 10 inches thick. John Wilson has about twenty men on the lake, ten in his icehouse and twelve teams working. The People’s Ice Co. has also commenced work. At the regular monthly meeting of the Cazenovia Business Men’s Association held Tuesday evening, Mr. Henry Burden, at the request of the Association, gave a talk on the proposed change in the street lighting system as presented to the village trustees. This new plan contemplates sixty-two additional poles equipped with Wheeler reflectors and sixty watt Tungstoen lamps, such as are now in use in Hurd street, and refitting the old poles with the same new

Cazenovia manufactured impressive clocks in 1800s By Matthew Urtz As we reached the New Year and watched the ball drop in New York City, I was reminded of an industry that was once located in Madison County that has been long since forgotten. Up until about 1900, tower clocks were manufactured in Cazenovia and DeRuyter under a number of different names. According to records, clocks made in Cazenovia were shipped as far as California, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Michigan. A few of the clocks are visible today in Cazenovia, Smithfield, Delphi Falls and New Woodstock. Fabricating clocks was a tradition handed down from craftsmen to craftsmen, and the amazing work shows in the clocks that are still around today. The first clockmaker who came to Madison County was Jehiel Clark Sr. Clark was born in Connecticut and moved to Cazenovia some time around 1810. Clark was a silver and goldsmith among other things and his first clock was produced in the early 1830’s according to the Cazenovia Republican.
Thank you to Dale Bowers, who wrote in to share a wealth of interesting details about the history of the house highlighted in the Dec. 29 edition of this column, pictured at right, at 2475 Fenner Road. This house dates back to the early 1800s. Among its earliest owners were sisters who intended to raise silk worms on the property’s Mulberry trees to make silk. Unfortunately, the silk worms needed White Mulberry trees to thrive, while the trees on this property are Red Mulberry. The Macaully family owned the house in the early 1900s until it was purchased by the Stannards. Mrs. Stannard taught math at Cazenovia High School and her husband, known as “Prof,” taught chemistry and physics at Syracuse University. They had three sons, one of whom frequently played the bagpipes on the front porch of the house. Prof liked to invite his students to the house for a meal at the end of the school year. After dinner he would inform them they had just consumed woodchuck. He used dynamite to deal with his hedgerows and Mr. Bowers, who now owns the house and property, remembers getting to push the plunger. Prof Stannard had an airplane that was eventually crashed on landing in the field next to the barn. The stencils he used to paint “Cazenovia” on the barn roof as a locator are still hanging in the barn. Mr. Bowers also found the plane’s original wood propeller. The auction for the Stannard estate featured many interesting items, including an original Maytag washer and hundreds of motors. The property for this week is pictured at left. If you know the history or significance of this house, or if you have memories of it, send your information to discoveringcazenivoashistory@ gmail.com by Jan. 19 for inclusion in the next column. We want to hear from you! Please specify whether or not you’d like us to include your name in the column.

He was the original clock maker for the Cazenovia Methodist Church, although it has since been replaced. Clark retired in 1846 and left the business to his son, Jehiel Clark Jr. Clark Jr. inherited the business and the building that appears to have been his father’s office on Sullivan Street. Records do not indicate if this was where the clocks were manufactured, as it is not on the Cazenovia Creek, and both men would have needed mill work for the gears among other items. According to an article in Madison County Heritage by Russ Oechsle, Clark Jr. appears to have sold his first clock in April of 1847 when the Delphi Falls United Church purchased a tower clock for $225. The clock is still visible on the front to the church today. Clark Jr. did not last long in the business. He is listed as a goldsmith by 1850, and he left Cazenovia shortly after his father’s death in 1852. As the Clark family exited the business a new name appeared, Austin Van Riper. Austin (who had an uncle of the same name who ran a brewery in Cazenovia) had a machine shop located on Farnham Street. Van Riper is commonly linked to the clock at the New Woodstock Baptist Church and many wonder if he was the machinist that the Clarks employed. This would explain why he appears upon the departure of Jehiel Clark Jr. According to deed records both men also owned the same piece of property a few years apart, although it is not known if there was any business operated there. Clark brought in two apprentices: Justice Marshall and John Stone. Van Riper designed a new clock with the help of Marshall and math professors from the Cazenovia Seminary (Cazenovia College). They made the clocks in two parts instead of one, which made the clock easier to install and repair. By May 1858, Van Riper’s health was failing and he turned the business over to Stone and Marshall. According to the Cazenovia Republican, the official transfer took place in May 1858. Stone and Marshall made variations of both the modern Van Riper and the Clark style clocks. They moved their business to the old “Knowlton Oil Mill” in March 1864, near the intersection of Fenner and Nelson Streets, just before the bridge. Stone and Marshall built numerous clocks,
but two still stand in view in Madison County today. They replaced the original Clark clock at the Cazenovia Methodist Church around 1862. The clock was moved to the current church after it was built in 1870. Stone & Marshall also built the clock located on the Smithfield Community Center (see above) in Peterboro. The original clock fell into disrepair in the1930’s, long after Stone & Marshall had discontinued their business, but by sheer luck a local official was able to find two clocks remaining in the old Stone & Marshall building. These were purchased and installed in the 1935. Stone & Marshall sold their business to M.E. Card who made traps for glass ball shooting, ending the Cazenovia tower clock era in 1875. There was one other tower clock manufacturer in Madison County, according to Oechsle’s article, located in DeRuyter. Hopkins, Wright and Millard manufactured clocks for a short time period from 1849 to 1851. The factory was located near Wood Road along the Tioughnioga River. Daniel Hopkins worked as the clock maker, David Wright was the machinist and Ira Millard financed the operation. In their short span, they produced over 10 clocks including one that was located at the Union School in DeRuyter around 1850. The school was destroyed in 1907 and the clock whereabouts are unknown. All three men were hit hard with the failure. Hopkins and his wife left and were never heard from again, Millard was forced to sell his farm and moved to Sullivan and Wright worked various odd jobs for the remainder of his life. No example of a DeRuyter clock is known to exist. The clocks of Madison County illustrate the amazing genius and ingenuity of the people of this county.

Home & Garden
Preparing for the ‘honey-do’ list W
ith the onset of spring in a few months, the average homeowner’s “honey-do” list likely has its share of outdoor landscaping tasks that need to be tackled. The right tools can make easier work of outdoor chores. A report from the Associated Landscape Contractors of America titled “Economic Benefits of Landscape” states that landscaping can add as much as 14 percent to the resale value of a building and speed its sale by as much as 6 weeks. Homeowners looking to sell their home or just improve its market value will want to consider landscaping a viable investment. A March 2003 article in Smart Money noted that homeowners can expect to earn back 150 percent or more of their landscape investment through the value it brings to a property.
Whatever the landscaping project, the right tools will make any task that much easier. There are certain items every homeowner should have in his or her gardening arsenal. * Soil cultivator: A multi-pronged tool that breaks up clods of soil and grass to provide easier planting. * Various garden hoes: Hoes can be used for breaking up soil, weeding, cultivating, aerating, and many other purposes. * Spading fork: Another tool that loosens soil with straight tines that dig through dense soil. * Shovel: A multipurpose shovel can dig through dirt, gravel and the like. * Rake: A steel-pronged rake will till soil and spread out mulch and other organic matter in planting beds. A flexible rake is good for collecting leaves and thatch. * Edger: Available as manual or gas powered, an edger gives planting beds and the
Seneca Federal is not an average mortgage originator “Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, president-CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.” Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. “We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent. “A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the underwriting process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are very thankful when a customer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and before the loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with experienced loan underwriterswhoassistyouinyourmortgageloan application process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan.
Seneca Federal President–CEO, Katrina Russo left, and Executive Vice President-CFO, Wendy Bodnar The lending team is carrying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is always retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan. One example of a loan that is often tailormade to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made loan includes a mortgage where a customer is purchasing a house in which projected renovations are included. The purchase and renovation costs are wrapped into one mortgage loan. Other features which add to Seneca’s appeal as a mortgage lender include no flood certification fees and no underwriting fees. “This culture of personalized service was instilled into us by our predecessors, so that Seneca Federal’s continued success is guaranteed for decades to come,” she said. “We pride ourselves on providing the best possible products with the lowest possible lending rates. As a community bank, it is our job to increase the wealth of our members through low lending rates and high savings rates, given the state of the economy at any given time,” according to Russo.
edges of lawns a clean look. * String trimmer: Weeds can easily be trimmed with a string trimmer that can work around bushes and other hard-to-reach areas. * Gloves: Avoid blisters and insect bites with durable gloves that protect the hands. * Lawn mower: To maintain a healthy lawn it will have to be trimmed to the correct height. A manual or powered lawn mower is the essential landscaper’s tool. * Collection bags/bins: To properly dispose of organic matter like leaves and branches, it pays to have recyclable or reusable bags on hand for transporting waste. * Hoses: Drip irrigation hoses can deliver water right to plants’ roots where they need it most. A regular nozzle-powered hose can be used for cleaning and misting plants and surrounding hardscapes. * Compost bin: “Black gold” is the ideal landscaping supplement. By creating compost from discarded food, a homeowner can generate the prime fertilizer needed to keep plants healthy. * Wheelbarrow: Transporting gravel, rocks, mulch, shrubbery, and many other garden essentials is made easier with the help of a wheelbarrow or a garden cart. * Branch pruner: A durable branch trimmer/pruner can cut through thick or thin
branches and keep landscape items tidy. Pruning also helps promote growth of many flowers and shrubs. * Overhead pruner: Errant branches in hard-to-reach areas can be trimmed with an overhead pruner with an extendable arm. Depending on specific interests, homeowners can stock up on trowels, bulb planters, chain saws and other items that will get jobs done around the exterior of the home.

Caz girls return with Stec, stay unbeaten to more scoring chances. Offensively, she only had one field goal and five points, but Cazenovia had already proven this season that it had many other options. That includes forward Raeanne Clabeaux, who led both sides with 19 points, and Ellen Burr, who worked her way to 12 points, eight of them in the fourth quarter to put the game away. Maggie Carpenter chimed in with eight points and Colleen Dougherty threw in six points. Maria King led Grimes with 18 points. So long as the Lakers got past Solvay on Monday night, it would set up a
first-place showdown in the OHSL Liberty division next Thursday against JordanElbridge at Buckley Gym. The state-ranked Eagles have started 6-0 and are led by junior forward Molly Hourigan, who has achieved four triple-doubles (double figures in points, rebounds and blocks) this season, including Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 49-37 win over Westhill where she had 17 points, 14 rebounds and 11 blocks. Despite its mark, the girls Lakers had, as 2011 started, not garnered enough respect for its own state ranking, falling behind J-E, plus South Jefferson, Westhill and Utica-Notre Dame in such considerations. Maybe conscious of that snub, the Lakers went out last Wednesday and toyed with visiting Hannibal in a 58-32 romp. More air-tight Cazenovia defense helped the hosts gain a quick 15-5 edge, and it kept adding to that margin the rest of the way, doubling the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
production in the second half. Inside, no one could stop Clabeaux as the Laker forward notched 10 field goals on her way to 22 points. Burr stepped up, too, earning 13 points as Dougherty, with 10 points, hit double digits and Taylor Malmsheimer posted seven points. As the girls Lakers were rolling to its seventh straight win, the Cazenovia boys team was at home, witness to a thrilling individual duel, even if it resulted in a 68-56 loss to Bishop Grimes. The first half proved decisive, as the Lakers fell behind 35-20. Thanks to guard Tanner Whiteman, it never got more lopsided, as Whiteman thrilled the home fans with seven successful 3-pointers on his way to a new career mark of 30 points as Doyle Judge added 11 points. Yet Whiteman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have the best perfor-
mance of the night. Grimes senior forward Mike Stone hit on every kind of shot, matching Whitemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of seven 3-pointers, adding six other field goals and nine successful free throws to finish with 42 points, the highest individual total in any OHSL Liberty game this season. Cazenovia got a rough start to the new year when it went to Hannibal last Tuesday and lost to the Warriors by a score of 57-54. All game long, it proved close. Hannibal inched its way to a 47-43 lead through three quarters, then withstood all of the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attempts to catch up late. Whiteman led with 17 points, including four successful 3-pointers. No one else hit double figures, though, as Ben Romagnoli had eight points, Chris Schaffner seven points and Judge and Joe Romagnoli six points apiece.
Lakers rule in Mohawk Valley Cazenovia track girls win second straight eastern title  By Kurt Wheeler The Cazenovia girls indoor track team dominated the field at the Jan. 4 Mohawk Valley Indoor Track and Field Championship, scoring 201 points to claim the Division II title, well ahead of runner-up Clinton. Both Cazenovia and Clinton outperformed the larger Division I schools.
The Mohawk Valley group features teams from the eastern half of Section III. This was Cazenoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second consecutive title among the eastern teams. The Lakers will next face Syracuse-area rivals at the Onondaga High School League Championship before advancing to the overall Section III meet. Cazenovia won 11 of 16 events, set a new school record and posted section-leading times in two relays. Jill Vogl set a new indoor 400-meter record, with a 1:01.8 split in the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; section-leading 4x400 relay. Ashley Winn, Hollie Marcelle and EmSee Track, page 11

What had made the Cazenovia girls basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-0 start so impressive was the fact that most of it was done without Ashley Stec, the Manhattan College-bound 6-foot senior forward who got injured in the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season-opening win over Bishop Ludden on Dec. 10. Now Stec is back - and the Lakers, at full strength, remained perfect Friday night by going to East Syracuse and registering a 58-42 victory over Bishop Grimes. Grimes, the 2009 Section III Class C champions
who were undefeated in the 2009-10 regular season, moved up to the OHSL Liberty division this season amid a major roster turnover, but had split its first four league games, so it was by no means a pushover. And it was close until the second quarter - when Cazenovia, utilizing its size advantage against the smaller Grimes lineup, outscored the Cobras 15-7. Eventually, the margin grew to 44-30 by the end of the third period as the Lakers continued to shine in all phases of the game. Stec immediately made an impact on the defensive side, as her rebounding led

Paige Biviano won the long jump with the best Class B performance this year (15-3), followed by Audrey Bowers (fourth, 14-5.5) and Becca Wheeler (sixth, 13-2.5). Biviano also led the Lakers in the triple jump with a fourth place, 32-foot effort while Megan
Stanford (sixth, 28-2.5) also scored for Cazenovia. Piper Gianforte continued to lead Section III in the pole vault, winning at 8-3, with Michelle McGinnis (fourth, 69) and Emily Clipston (fifth, 6-0) also getting on the board for the Lakers. The high jumping trio of Laura Fitch (third, 4-5), Marie Sugio and Emmajean Speer
(tied for fifth, 4-2) closed out the team’s scoring. Cazenovia raced at Colgate for the OHSL title on Jan. 8 (too late for this edition) and will begin gearing up for a run at its first Section III title on Jan. 28. Kurt Wheeler coaches the Cazenovia girls indoor track team.

Cazenovia Caz hockey wins four times in five days wrestlers fall to Marcellus A late struggle kept the Cazenovia wrestling team from getting a key OHSL Liberty division victory in last Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against Marcellus at Buckley Gym. The Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 41-34 defeat to the Mustangs was in doubt right until the end, when Anthony Randino needed a decision over 171-pound opponent Aaron Murphy to tie up the points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and give Cazeonvia the eight win and tie-breaking criteria point, too. Randindo never got going, though, as he lost to Murphy 4-1, ending a furious Marcellus rally that negated Cazenoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domination of the matches in the middle. Brad Lucas (285 pounds) put the Lakers on the board with a forfeit, the only win for Cazenovia in the early going as it fell behind 18-6. Then Chris Biviano, at 103 pounds, beat Neil Ruggles 7-3, igniting Cazenoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-match win streak. In order, Nick Petroff (112 pounds) pinned Nate Long in 1:32, Dylan Evans (119 pounds) finished off Dan Tierney in 3:29 and Ryan Cook provided an exciting moment at 125 pounds when he pinned Keith McIntosh in just 14 seconds. As the Mustangs started to climb back, Teddy Kugler dominated at 140 pounds, beating Matt Dempsey 11-1, and Dan Cossitt (152 pounds) beat Grady Ryan 10-6. Still, Marcellus made up all the ground, then used Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closing win to seal it.

And though it was playing for the fourth time in five days, the Lakers (who got Lewis back in the lineup) would not show much fatigue. Just as in the Corcoran game, Cazenovia seized a 3-0 lead in the first period. Colligan got the first goal just 1:57 into the game on a nifty wrist shot from the left point, and Greacen put home a rebound less than three minutes later. With five minutes left in the period, Gara converted on the power play as Lewis and Sean Cannizzaro earned assists. Instead of folding, CNS got physical in the second period, and used a pair of goals by Matt Kennedy to creep back into the game. In between, though, Sean Cannizzaro finished off a fast break, scoring off feeds from Lewis and Gara, so Cazenovia led 4-2 going to the third period. Slowing things down and staying patient, the Lakers pulled away, as Brian Demo pounced on a rebound at the far post and scored with 9:24 left and Alan Baldwin added a clincher with 1:19 to play, becoming the sixth different Cazenovia player to score on this day. Gara and Murray both finished with two assists as Christensen got into the assist column, too. This tournament kicked off five consecutive road games for the Lakers, who sought its 12th straight win at Whitesboro Tuesday night before going to Onondaga Nation Arena Thursday night to face CBA/J-D.

Sometimes, when a team reaches an especially lofty plateau, it can start forgetting about all the things that helped them reach that point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and quickly fall. That is not proving the case with the Cazenovia ice hockey Lakers, who only seem to be getting better ever since it rose to the top spot in the state Division II rankings for the first time in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. In the first full week of 2011, Cazenovia played four times in five days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and won them all. It all started when the Lakers paid a visit to Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casey Park last Tuesday night and unleashed its highest offensive total of the season, not letting up until it had registered a 10-2 destruction of the Maroons. Attacking all the way, Cazenovia had a 4-1 edge by the end of the first period, then tacked on four more unanswered goals in the second period to further secure its position. Sean Cannizzaro, with three goals and two assists, led a deep and diverse attack. Sam Lewis had two goals and two assists, with Connor Cannizzaro, Joe Nadella, Alan Baldwin, Joe Colligan and Todd Christensen also landing goals. Goaltender Mason Powell joined Lewis and Sean Cannizzaro with two assists as Kyle Murray added one assist. The Lakers, in all, took 33 shots, as Powell recorded 16 saves. Back home at the Morrisville State IcePlex to face Fulton two nights later, the Lakers remained unstoppable, bash-
ing the Red Raiders 8-1. In the beginning and end, Cazenovia rang up goals, streaking out to a 3-1 first-period lead, then keeping relatively quiet until it exploded for four unanswered tallies in the third period. The Lakers took 47 shots, watching Connor Cannizzaro get his own three-goal hat trick, adding two assists as Lewis earned two goals and three assists. Brian Gara returned to form with a goal and three assists, with Sean Cannizzaro earning one goal and two assists and Jeff Stowell adding one goal and one assist. Nardella and John Greacen also reached the assist column. With no time to rest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or gloat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Lakers went to the Cicero-North Syracuse Optimist Tournament and took the top prize, beating the host Northstars 6-2 in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game at the Cicero Twin Rinks. Of course, to reach the final, Cazenovia first had to win in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening round - and even without Lewis in the lineup, the Lakers throttled the Cougars in an 8-0 shutout. Corcoran arrived at this game sharing the no. 10 state ranking in Division I, having scored 30 goals on its way to a 7-1 start. None of that mattered here, though, as Cazenovia sprinted out to a 3-0 first-period lead and kept applying pressure. A four-goal third period sealed things up as Greacen, just returning from an injury suffered while playing football in the fall, earned a three-goal hat trick, and Gara also had a three-goal outing. Backing up Greacen and Gara, Nardella and Connor Cannizzaro each finished with

Bridge results
Droeges take highest score By Dave Bull Jane Fuller and Barbara Roller began their winter bridge lessons on Jan. 4. They will stress defensive play for the whole winter session. While it seems to be more fun to bid and play the “wonderful” hands, in duplicate the best scores are usually turned in by the players who defend well with below average cards. These “boring” hands most often are what win or lose the match. Joyce and Gary Droege have learned this lesson well and parlayed good offense with great defense to start 2011 with an impressive 67-percent score (they won two thirds of all possible points and, in duplicate bridge, anything better than 60 percent is considered very good). Penny Emerick and Dave Bull just edged Barbara and Chuck Stine for second with Jane Fuller and Carl Bjork finishing third. The group meets at 1 p.m. Tuesdays at the Cazenovia Public Library. All games are open to the public. We ask players to come with their own partners. Dave Bull is volunteer publicist for the Cazenovia Bridge Club.
