Treating our Water By Ellen Leahy
Patience ELLEN LEAHY
Eric Allyn with a Skaneateles 125th Anniversary edition of the Skaneateles Press Vol. 124 from June 25, 1964, No. 26, which hosts a full page congratulation’s ad from Welch Allyn and a feature article on William G. Allyn, “Welch Allyn Instruments Bring Worldwide Fame.”
Mayor Bob Green suggested at the Oct. 25 Village Board meeting that the director of Municipal Operations-Bob Lotkowictz, the village engineer consultant from Stearns and Wheeler, the village board members and the village’s municipal board get together for a face to face discussion concerning water issues. The village is coming down to the wire on the purchase and installation of an ultra violet water disinfection treatment system to kill possible bacteria, such as Cryptosporidium in the water supply. Once this system is installed, the village will be able to store more water in their tanks. See Water, page 7

Tuesday evening Oct. 26, Eric Allyn had the 60 plus crowd at the Skaneateles Historical Society riveted with his presentation of his family’s company, Welch Allyn (WA). He broke his talk down into two parts starting with the history of his family, then the company’s beginnings and progress by decades. He brought many of the company’s diagnostic devices for a show and tell, saying that he wouldn’t be using any on the audience, especially the Sigmoidoscopes, which he had purposely left back at the plant. He opened by noting how amazing it is that WA’s two Skaneateles plants make products that are shipped to China, India, Russia, as well as many other places around the globe. “Exciting that we make these devices
right here,” Allyn said. Then, he stepped back to Matthew Allyn born 1605 in Devon, England. Matthew sailed to the new world in 1632 landing first in Cambridge then moving to Connecticut. William Noah Allyn (WNA) the founder of Welch Allyn was the ninth generation, while Eric’s children are the 13th generation. Eric walked the audience through the development of each product, starting with the ophthalmoscope, then continuing on to diagnostic equipment used to look into every opening in the human body without surgery. He talked about spin-off technologies, such as white light and fiber optics, and how family members played different roles in the evolution of WA. He was so engaging that about a third of the way into his lecture the President of the Skaneateles Historical Society, Car-
lene Miller, gave voice to many when she said out loud, “He’s a great speaker!” Allyn wound up his talk by pulling out a copy of the Oct. 20 Skaneateles Press. He said he is a big fan of the Press and had meant to start out with that week’s front page story about the Lake View House once hosting go-go dancers. He said perhaps that’s the real reason why WA moved their plant from Auburn to Skaneateles back in the 1950s. A synopsis of Eric’s talk starting with William Noah Allyn (WNA) Part I: One of Eric’s prized possessions is a book written by Helen Rutledge Allyn (Aunt Helen or HRA). She was actually WNA’s second wife. His first wife died fairly young and he didn’t remarry until he met Helen 10 years later. See Allyn history, page 8

IS SHE A GOOD WITCH OR A BAD WITCH: Glenda Weinertonsen, age 1242, failed to navigate her broom properly early Sunday morning while circling for a landing at Freitag’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch on Route 321, Skaneateles. Evidently a random storm shower or front came upon her while hovering on her broom above the autumnal attraction. The timeless Weinertonsen, native of Transylvania, is a seasoned instrument rated Broom Pilot, but was caught in the unexpected downdraft as her thoughts were occupied by the upcoming day’s events - it was Halloween. She was revived and checked out satisfactorily sustaining no long term injuries. But said she thought she would just rest a bit, while she settled her petticoats.
Turkey Trot time change The village’s annual Thanksgiving family fun run will take off an hour early By Ellen Leahy Grand Marshal Dennis Owen said 9:30 a.m. will be the new start of the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot in the village of Skaneateles. The annual family fun run starts right in front of the Sherwood Inn on Route 20. After the adults cross the finish line, the kid’s run starts on Hannum Street. “The kids are so excited, because no matter where they come in, they get a medal,” Owen said. After the two events, participants and their friends and families retire to the Sherwood Inn tavern and lobby. The Inn’s owner, Bill Eberhardt will open the bar at 10 a.m. this year. “Bill will open up the bar at 10 a.m. for Bloody Marys and also there will be hot cocoa for the kids,” Owen said. “After the runs, I take my top hat and turn it over to collect funds for the Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantry.” Last year he collected $827, and has set

a goal to break $1,000 this year. The Trot draws a minimum of 200 runners each year. The race will start promptly at 9:30 a.m. with a 3.5 miles course through the village. “You can’t believe the families that gather there,” Owen said. “People get a chance to see old friends before going home to enjoy dinner with their families.” Speaking of old friends Owen looks forward each year to see which of his eight children will be able to make it back to Skaneateles for Thanksgiving. So far this year he’s pretty sure he’s going to have 25 of the 37 extended family home. Keep an eye out around town that week for Brian and wife Chris, Molly and husband Paul, Marty and wife Jan and Brendon with wife Delphine. Owen said Eileen and husband Michael are still on the fence (hint, hint). For more information contact Sue Dove at the Chamber of Commerce or call Dennis Owen at 685-5828.

Community News Healing our land and waters New approaches to addressing the environmental crises facing our community and world will be the focus of the next Onondaga Land Rights and Our Common Future program on Monday Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. at Syracuse Stage. Speaking to “Finding Common Ground: Indigenous and Western Approaches to Healing our Land and Waters,” Tuscarora artist and environmentalist Rick Hill and SUNY ESF Professor Robin Kimmerer will discuss the challenges and opportunities of weaving together these two different approaches to understanding and working with the natural world. “As we face climate change, dangers of hydrofracking and a still-polluted Onondaga Lake, this topic couldn’t be more timely,” said series coordinator Andy Mager. The series is coordinated by Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation with co-sponsorship by Syracuse University, Le Moyne College, SUNY ESF and nine other major universities and community organization. Admission is free and the presentation will be followed by a reception and small group discussions. For more information, including the full series schedule, see peacecouncil.net/noon or call 472-5478.

‘SKANEATELES’ is hot off the press! ELLEN LEAHY
By Ellen Leahy Trick or Treat? Writer, raconteur and man about town, Kihm Winship’s “Skaneateles: The Character and Characters of a Lakeside Village,” arrived in town over the weekend. In true Winship form, a copy of the tome was delivered to the satellite Press Office in Skaneateles’ Austin Park Village Limits, in person, on foot, on Halloween. Winship’s 498 pages in-
clude an index, pictures, notes, a forword and 118 remarkable essays (give or take a few). It is dedicated to his wife, Laurie Winship, who is the director of the Skaneateles Historical Society’s Museum. Some of the titles, “Air Mail in Skaneateles,” “The Dump,” “Upscale Roadkill,” “One Night at Krebs’,” “The Saloons of Skaneateles,” “Convicts on West Lake,” “A Fallen Woman,” “The Loney Family,” promise that this new volume of stories will defi-

nitely be a treat to read alone or when friends and family gather in Skaneateles! When Winship isn’t writing about Skaneateles, he is often writing for Chase Design, his Skaneateles employer by day. In the forword, Winship thanks Tom Riley, whose job offer at Chase brought Winship and his young family to Skaneateles. Skaneateles must thank Tom, too, as Winship’s book is certainly a treasure trove of Skaneateles lore.
Town hall takes on renovations By Ellen Leahy
Now that the Town Hall has a full time Real Property Assessor, Ron Miller, it makes more sense to have that office located on the first floor. It’s difficult to ask older residents to climb the stairs, Miller said. “We would like to move the assessor from upstairs to downstairs, into the tax office, then move tax officer over,” Terri Roney said explaining the reorganization of the first floor to the town board at the Oct. 21 regular meeting. The tax collector, Lori Milne, will have a counter space between her and the general public. Roney reported that at this year’s Supervisor Meetings there has been discussion on having something between the tax collector and the general public for safety reasons. Town officials asked for $10,000 to be moved into a fund for these improvements but town budget officer, Bridgett Winkleman said she would feel more comfortable allocating $15,000 in the hopes that they will come in under this but have the necessary funds at the ready if needed. Also at this time, town clerk Janet Aaron will be looking into a sound system that could come out of these funds. “I would feel more comfortable to bring it to $15,000 - not to exceed,” Winkleman said. The board is hoping to have the renovations completed by the end of the year. “I welcome anyone who may have a question to call and make an appointment to meet with me so I may have the opportunity to meet you and also to hopefully answer your question. The main purpose of the assessor’s office is to provide a service to our customers, which are the taxpayers of the municipality., Ron Miller wrote on the town’s website.
When every second counts
SAVES calls on community to aid in ‘Coming to the Rescue’
Submitted by Daniel Labeille SAVES (Skaneateles Ambulance Volunteer Emergency Service) will be reaching out to the community this week looking for contributions to ‘Coming to the Rescue’, the volunteer organization’s annual fund appeal. Success in this campaign is vital in that SAVES must raise at least 20 percent of its annual budget of some $400,000 through charitable contributions in order to remain viable and financially stable. Unlike the Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department, SAVES does not receive prescribed county and town tax revenue based on property assessment. It depends on some private
billing, negotiated third party payments from Medicare and other insurance companies and discretionary municipal grants to meet the other 80 percent of its annual operating costs. The missing 20 percent can only be made up by donations from local residents and businesses, donations that reflect, on the part of the donor, an understanding and appreciation for the fact that if SAVES were not there for us 24/7, 365 days a year, the wait time for an ambulance call would be at least three to four times as long. A SAVES ambulance, equipped with state of the art medical gear and professional staff, is more than an emergency transport system – it is an emergency room on wheels! During the past year SAVES answered more than 900 emergency calls and logged more than
10,000 hours of volunteer help to assist the modest staff of full-time and part-time Certified Advanced Life Support paramedics who ride the rigs. SAVES also needs you to do your part in this partnership; one which benefits all of those in our community who may have need of emergency medical care. When you get your letter from SAVES in these next few weeks, don’t toss it aside. Rather reflect for a moment on how important it is to have such a dedicated volunteer emergency service right here and consider supporting the organization’s effort as generously as you can. Checks made out to ‘Coming to the Rescue’ Annual Fund can be sent directly to SAVES at 77 Fennell Street, Skaneateles, NY 13152.

Bullying – Where Does It Start…?
Editorial
Your community, your news, and now - your website
Eagle Newspapers launched a new and improved network of websites, with one especially tailored for your community. The Skaneateles Press has a new home at skaneatelespress.com . Eagle has created a website for each of its seven local publications. “By creating separate sites for each of our newspapers, rather than one large site which aggregates the content from all of our products, we have refocused the attention on the individual communities we serve,” says Publisher David Tyler. “We’re making it easier for our web users to find news and content that is local and useful to them.” At the new websites, you will find breaking news stories throughout the week, as well as school, business, arts, history and events news. Stories, letters to the editor, obituaries and more can be submitted with our online forms. Reading something online doesn’t offer the same tactile feeling as sitting down with a newspaper, and we don’t think that will change. But our websites offer a new way for you to interact with your community paper, and to stay up-to-date with the latest news skaneatelespress.com.

Sadly the last month or so has been filled with an inordinate amount of news reports about bullying, especially in schools. The result of much of this bullying has been that many young people have chosen, rather than face another day of this torment, to end their lives. I’m certain that in your home it has been no different than in mine – the subject has been talked about and hashed out over and over. As disturbing as it all is, even more disturbing is the fact that after all the talk and sharing there are no answers. I’ve discussed this subject with grandchildren who are in grammar school, high school and college. To my horror they all said, “Yeah, sure, Grandma, it goes on all the time.” For the most part the bullying that my grandchildren relate is hopefully not of the caliber that would push someone to take their life. Yet, bullying is bullying and most things in this life tend to escalate over time. I know things are different now with all the technology that sends things out into the universe for eternity. I also know that young people have not cornered the market on bullying. People are bullied in the workplace, in their communities, in just about every venue known to the human race. Pressure is put on individuals because of race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic background, the way they dress, age or just because they may have rubbed someone the wrong way. Very often, too often, this pressure takes the form of bullying. People leave jobs they find rewarding, quit organizations they have come to enjoy working with and stay away from getting involved in their community because they fear the bullying. I was amazed to find that there are people who refuse to speak up in their community about what they termed ‘police bullying’ – i.e. they feel they have been treated unfairly by a police officer yet they do not complain as they fear retaliation on their children (especially those with teenage drivers in the family). Having always been very outspoken in the community I asked my children if they ever felt the wrath of the powers that be due to my activities. One reply was, “Well, Mom, it wasn’t always easy being your kid.” Of the three no one ever mentioned this before – small miracle they all grew up to be strong and outspoken members of their communities. Mulling all this over, I come back to the same question. What makes a bully? What makes someone deliberately do something that is hurtful and that they know will result in pain (emotional or physical) to another human being? For most of us the very thought of doing anything like this is foreign. Children aren’t born bullies. Must it not be acquired, learned, practiced? A conundrum, isn’t it? Who would offer this type of behavior to their child? Who would teach and then encourage such venom? These thoughts running through my mind I decided one afternoon this week to push myself away from the computer and get some fresh air
at a middle school field hockey game (6th to 8th grade). It was chilly but the sun was shining in the late afternoon and the fall air was refreshing. Plopping my foldout chair about seven or so feet behind some other field hockey fans I settled in for the game and to bask in the glory of watching, not one, but two granddaughters do battle on this huge field. I have to admit here that although I am a lover of all sports I have not yet gotten a handle on all the rules and regs of field hockey. So as penalties were called and settled my mind wandered to the conversation going on between the fans in front of me. One woman, the mother of two girls on one of the teams, was there with a young boy about 10 or 11 who appeared to be her son. The other man and woman sat near enough to talk to the mother but were not necessarily ‘with’ her. Early into the game the mother began commenting on some of the players on her daughters’ team. I didn’t have to lean in too very far to hear every word she was saying. She was speaking in a condescending tone, using not the nicest language and berating the two players up one side and down the other. When she finished with her tirade on the girls she took off on one girl’s family. All the while the young boy was sitting there on the grass taking this all in. She even went so far as to indicate what she might do if the mother of the one girl ever got ‘in her face.’ I could tell that the man and woman sitting by her were getting uncomfortable. Hell, I was uncomfortable and barely able to contain myself. If I had passed this woman on the street or seen her in some other venue, I might have smiled at her and thought, what a nice woman out with her kids on a sunny day. She looked like every other mother there at the field hockey game watching their kids. A little bit of asking around told me that this is the ‘M.O.’ for this woman. It troubles me. Should I have gotten in her face? I’m troubled over this as I sit here and write. I do think I have an answer to my question though on how children, teens and even adults come by this bullying – they are taught by example. Maybe not in every instance but I would suspect more often than not. I’m sure there are kids who are pulled into bullying by peer pressure probably by someone who was taught or, tragically, even bullied themselves. We are so quick to look to the world of technology, the school, other outside influences. Isn’t it time we look to ourselves and ask – “What type of example have I set to the young people in my family and others whose lives I touch?” There is much we can do to wipe this scourge from our society – be diligent, be mindful not only of the behavior of others but of our own.

Passion By Scott Drahos “A strong or barely controllable emotion” …. “An intense desire or enthusiasm for something.” How many of us have identified our three main passions in life? This is a question I would ask students interviewing for positions with the three landscape contracting firms I worked for in the Philadelphia area. I lectured in the evening and interviewed at colleges the following day through the Placement Office on campus. I would invariably get this “Deer in the headlight look.” This is because, in more cases than not, it was the first time these young men and women had been asked this question! This is a subject that needs
to be addressed at perhaps the sophomore level of high school. Why? Well, 73 percent of we Americans go to work and do NOT like what we are doing. We are not following our passions. Money you say, sure that is nice, but I think one can have your ‘cake and eat it too.’ I had the ultimate honor of working with Ralph Nader’s staff years ago. Talk about a group of young people that were passionate, dedicated and psyched - WOW. I think I was a passionate individual at the time, but this involvement with causes so huge I could barely get my head around them was memorable. My Father was one of six individuals instrumental in the creation of Earth Day in 1969. A back-to-back All-American
football player at Cornell (Class of ’41 ), he went on to be inducted into the National Collegiate Football Hall of Fame in 1981 - Roger Staubach was at our table that night. Was football a passion of my Dad’s, nope. He played to get an education and hardly ever talks about sports. He will be the first to expound on ways to support and develop one’s passions. Is he a role model for me? You betcha! I was brought up this way, my children are working in their ‘Fields of Passion,’ and so can you and yours. Go forth and pick some Passion Fruit today!

Thanks for the balanced editorial
Your editorial about the Tea Party and voter discontent was especially well written and balanced. It was like a breath of editorial fresh air. While the personality of each candidate for public oďŹƒce is important and the party they represent can be critical their character, their beliefs and their actions are even more important. American voters want honest candidates and oďŹƒce holders (honest Abe) but they also want a press that honestly reports about real issues so everyone can be an informed voter.

Creekside to host two stars of children’s books this week
Four riflemen met at our range at 0900, Saturday, Oct. 23, to shoot our regular weekly high power match. The temperature was 44 degrees, the sky overcast and the wind calm. We all fired the John C. Garand Match – Course A, as fired at the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. Dave Spearing won the match with his K31 SchmidtRubin in 7.5X55mm by hitting 95- 1X+92+79=266-1X. He would have won a bronze medal at Camp Perry and we all congratulate him on both wins. Ron Troch fired his ’03 and hit 85+88-1X+79=252-1X. I fired my ’03-A3 and hit 85-1X+83+74=242-1X. Paul Straka fired his ’03-A3 and hit 92+85+57=234. After the match, three of us went to the excellent Willow Glen CafÊ for beverages. Carrie and Lynn poured and Spearing paid. We all thank them. Tuesday, Oct. 26, at 1900, eleven hand gunners met at our indoor range for the fourth shoot of our winter hand gun league. Chuck Chernoff won the match with a rim fire score of 273-4X’s. He came in second with a make-up shoot and a score of 260-3X’s. Lynn Lepak was third with 242-2X’s. George Newton was high man in center fire with a score of 253. In two handed rim fire Gary Snyder took first and second place by hitting 264-3X’s and 246-6X’s. Mike Curtis took third place with 249. Shoot safely.

The paintings of Patience Brewster Gregg and Marlee Brewster Brockmann through the end of the year at Pastabilities in Armory Square
By Ellen Leahy
After a decade, Mayflower descendants and sisters, Patience Brewster Gregg and Marlee Brewster Brockmann will show their work again at Pastabilities, the popular eatery at 311 South Franklin Street in Armory Square, Syracuse. Marlee resides in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and Plymouth, Massachusetts. Patience lives in Skaneateles. Although Marlee studied illustration at Rhode Island School of Design, she now paints contemplative landscapes in oil on canvas and board, and in pastel on paper. Her work is made up of layers and layers of paint eventually revealing a wet field or hidden pathway. Looking at her work, one feels as if they have stumbled upon a perfect moment when the light hits a distant bit of water, or when the clouds part or gather to reveal unexpected

S k a n e at e l e s Hi g h School junior Peter Cihon was one of three winners in a photography contest featuring “The Natural Wonders of Central New York.” The “Natural Wonders of Central New York” photography contest for Syracuse and Onondaga County High School Students in grades 9 through 12 was sponsored by Green & Seifter, Attorneys. Skaneateles High School junior Peter Of the 217 submis- Cihon takes home third place. sions, 20 photographs were chosen as finalists. On Thursday, Oct. 28, the 20 students were honored at the Photography Contest Finalist Reception in Syracuse. It was there that Cihon learned he was in the top three. Families and teachers were included in the reception. Teacher Linda Torrey, who attended, said she knew Cihon’s piece had a good chance of winning a prize. It shows an Adirondack chair near Cayuga Lake. As third place winner, he received $100. Cihon said this is his second photography class; his first digital photography class. He has enjoyed photography for years: at age 10 he photographed his brother’s wedding with a digital camera. Last summer, on a month-long trip to Spain, he took his camera and came home with great images, Torrey said. The idea for this year’s contest was inspired by the upcoming Haudenosaunee: Elements exhibition at the Everson Museum. Haudenosaunee: Elements is a special exhibition of new work by 12 contemporary Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) artists that will be shown at the Everson Nov. 13 through Jan. 16, 2011. “We encourage students to capture the natural beauty of Central New York, local and regional examples of natural sculptures, organic and natural imagery, environments and living things, and abstract interpretations of nature. We would like the works to reflect an appreciation of environmental awareness,” from the website of Green & Seifter, Attorneys.

Each RD is the primary fraternity resource for all of the colleges in their region helping to meet fraternity goals and objectives. He will be responsible for 20 to 25 chapters in his region (one of 11), which will be assigned during an eight week training session next summer in Richmond, VA. It includes everything from MBA classes to professionalism to how to dress. Are you or yours considering join a fraternity? The following is from The Balanced Banner Spring 2010: IFC “Snap Shot” by Alex Woodlief Class of 2011. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) at Northeastern University is the governing council for the nine IFC Fraternities on our campus, SigEp included. At just under 500 members (491), the IFC represents roughly 40 percent of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Northeastern. As SigEps we strive to be not only the strongest Fraternity in the IFC, but the
best student group at Northeastern. Having graduated 17 seniors, SigEp now stands at 61 men, third in the IFC for manpower to begin the Fall of 2010. With a 3.15 GPA, we also sit third in the IFC for academics, and higher than the Fraternity and Sorority Life average of 3.10. The main responsibility of the IFC is to foster the improvement of its members both individually, and as Chapters. The IFC meets weekly throughout the year to discuss events, organize programs and make decisions that ensure the health of the Fraternal Community. This past year SigEp was fortunate to have three of its Brothers serve in leadership roles within IFC: Alex Woodlief as President, Nick Forth as Parliamentarian, and Andrew Bosworth as Athletics Chair. Each dedicated time and energy every week to help improve the Fraternity environment as a whole at Northeastern. This year, the IFC revamped its new member education program, “Jr. IFC,” in an effort to better prepare the new members of the
Council for Fraternity Life at Northeastern. Each one of SigEp’s new members from the Fall of 2009, and the Spring of 2010 experience these educational sessions ranging from an introduction to Greek life, time management skills, and practicing responsible behavior in the College environment. The biggest event of the year for the IFC is without a doubt “Greek Week.” In March at the end of each school year, the IFC collaborates with the three other Greek Councils on campus to put on a week of events including outdoor sports, a talent show, dance competition and culminating with an awards night. It is during Awards that the IFC recognizes its member Chapters for excellence. We are proud as SigEp to be the 2010 IFC Fraternity of the Year!

Allyn history HRA wrote a 53 page book published in 1960 about her husband, “Life and Ancestry of William Noah Allyn.� “On page 35, she talks about her husband,� Eric said. He was born in 1875 in Utica. He dropped out of school at age 13, which wasn’t uncommon. But he also was a bit of a wise guy. Apparently, he lived right off the Erie Canal and loved to cause chaos down there. WNA went to work as a machinist in Rochester; that’s where he met Dr. Francis Welch who had this idea for a device. “The back of the eye is the only part of the body where you can see arteries, veins and nerves without cutting the body,� Eric said, adding that it is also a window into other workings of the body as systemic diseases will leave a footprint often visible in the eye. “If you look into the eye, you can recognize and diagnose,� Eric said. Dr. Welch didn’t know how to go about making such a device or how to sell it. That’s where WNA came in, he knew how to manufacture the device, but also it turns out, he was also a gifted salesman. In 1915, the two put
From page1 their heads and names together to form Welch Allyn. They manufactured the first hand-held direct illuminating ophthalmoscope in Auburn. “It was the one of the few times we took on any debt,� Eric said, as WNA borrowed money from family members to start the business. Shockingly, Dr. Welch died just three months into their joint venture.
“It was the one of the few times we took on any debt.�
Eric Allyn
“People like to joke that the Allyn’s took him out,� Eric said, adding that it has been suggest that Welch could be in the bottom of the lake, or perhaps the pond in front of the State Street plant. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth as, “He respected him so much that he kept his name on the company,� Eric said. WA started small, not even able to fund a booth at the biggest medical trade show put on by the Ameri-
can Medical Association. Instead, WNA finagled his way into setting up a card table right outside the men’s room. It turned out to be a great spot. From there Eric said, “The business grew slowly and steadily,� although the first 20 years continued to be a struggle. Enter William G. Allyn (WG) gets an education “He was the most wonderful man, ever,� Eric said. WG graduated from Dartmouth in 1932. The company was 17 years old and still reeling from the Great Depression of 1929, so much so that it couldn’t afford to hire him. “They didn’t have anything for him to do,� Eric said. So he continued his education at the University of Rochester, where he got a doctorate in Optometry. WG joined the company in 1934. As an optometrist, he was able to provide free eye care for employees. Eric explained by demonstrating on an SHS audience member how close one gets when using an ophthalmoscope. “He knew that when you look into someone’s eye, you get this close, you get to know them real well,�

AFTER GLOW: “Smilingâ€? John and Megan Keady of Griffin Street enjoying refreshments and a tour of the historical society’s with Pat Raith, right, of Jordan Street. Eric noted. “He was way ahead of his time, even ahead of today,â€? Eric said of WG’s personnel management skills. It’s diďŹƒcult to tell your dad something! WG was smart enough to build the infrastructure of the company, Eric said. Before that, his father would make the devices by hand, and would try to sell them himself. “WG had to tell his dad, you can’t build these (devices) yourself and then jump on a train (to go sell them).â€? Their devices, which included at this point, an otoscope (for ears), a laryngoscope (look down throat) and the ophthalmoscopes (eyes), were very useful during the war years (WWII). “You can see the optic nerve, and can tell if someone’s had a concussion,â€? Eric said of the ophthalmoscope. “And the laryngoscope allowed medics to intubate (provide an airway for) soldiers with trauma. Coming out of the war, we had a good reputation, a great brand.â€? Eric continued, “What we decided to do at that
time, of course I wasn’t born, was to make instruments to look into all the body cavities.� Then there was light Eric explained how important white light is in diagnostics. “The light that you put into the eye, is what dictates the quality of the image, how bright the light is and how white the light is. Yellow light looks jaundice, blue light looks dead, (we) needed very white light,� he said. “So my granddad decided to make the lightbulbs, so they can provide the proper light for our instruments.� High pressure xenon lightbulbs are still made right here in Skaneateles. Moving to Skaneateles They out grew their building in Auburn in the 1950s and decided to move to this huge plant in Skaneateles Falls to make instruments to look into every orifice in your body, as well as the lightbulbs. It didn’t take long before they grew into the vast plant. Bill (Eric’s father) and his brother Lew’s first job in high school was painting the inside of the Jordan Road plant. This idea of
Setting up the Foundation In the 1950s “my grand dad set up a charitable foundation.� Today the Allyn Foundation has two employees, Eric’s wife, Meg O’Connell and Amy Nye. Many companies are now setting up foundations, but 60 years ago it wasn’t that common. “They knew that was a smart thing to do, and once again, they were way ahead of their time,� Eric said. Millions of dollars have been given to mostly hospitals, schools and quality of life organizations such as the Salvation Army and the Rescue Mission right here in Central New York. Eric chair’s the committee in charge of all the Foundation’s investments. It was a $10,000,000 foundation until 2006 when WG left his entire estate of $24,000,000 to the Allyn Foundation, so that made it $34,000,000. But in 2009, the fund took a hit with the rest of the market, but is back up to $28,000,000. “This year the Found at i on w i l l g ive out $2,000,000.� Eric said. Part II will be in next week’s Press or can be found right now online at skaneatelespress.com. Eric outlines Welch Allyn’s progress from the 1960s up to the present day.

What can we expect this
flu season?
CDC answers question about what’s likely ahead
A
“While not certain,
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu seasons are unpredictable in a number of ways. The timing, severity, and length of the epidemic depends on many factors, including what influenza viruses are spreading and whether they match the viruses in the vaccine. Last flu season saw the emergence of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, also known as the “swine flu.” This virus caused the first influenza pandemic in more than 40 years. While not certain, it is likely that 2009 H1N1 viruses will continue to spread along with seasonal viruses in the U.S.during the 20102011 flu season.
it is likely that 2009 H1N1 viruses will continue to spread... during the 2010-2011 flu season.”
Will new strains of flu circulate this season?
Flu viruses are constantly changing so it’s not unusual for new flu virus strains to appear each year.
When will flu activity begin and when will it peak?
The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February. However, seasonal flu activity can occur as late as May.
What should I do to prepare for this flu season?
CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. While there are many different flu viruses, the flu vaccine is designed to protect against the three main flu strains that research indicates will cause the most illness during the flu season. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: an H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season. Getting the flu vaccine soon after it becomes available each year is always a good idea, and the protection you get from vaccination will last throughout the flu season.
-cdc.gov
People at High Risk for developing flurelated complications
Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old Adults 65 and older Pregnant women Last flu season, American Indians and Alaskan Natives seemed to be at higher risk of flu complications People with medical conditions including asthma, neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, chronic lung disease, heart disease and blood, kidney, liver, endocrine or metabolic disorders. People with weakened immune systems People younger than 19 who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy Those who are morbidly obese
Source: cdc.gov
How effective is the flu vaccine?
The effectiveness of the vaccine can vary and depends in part on the match between the viruses in the vaccine and flu viruses that are circulating in the community. It’s not possible to predict with certainty which flu viruses will predominate during a given season. Experts must pick which viruses to include in the vaccine many months in advance in order for vaccine to be produced and delivered on time. Because of these factors, there is always the possibility of a less than optimal match between circulating viruses and the viruses in the vaccine.
Can the vaccine provide protection even if it is not a “good” match?
Yes, antibodies made in response to vaccination with one strain of flu viruses can provide protection against different, but related strains.
What is the CDC doing to monitor effectiveness for 2010-2011?
The CDC carries out and collaborates with other partners within and outside CDC to assess the effectiveness of flu vaccines. During the 2010-2011 season, CDC is planning multiple studies on the effectiveness of influenza vaccine. These studies will measure vaccine effectiveness in preventing laboratory confirmed influenza in older people and in children.
What actions can I take to protect myself and my family against the flu this season?
The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. In addition, you can take everyday preventative steps like staying away from sick people and washing your hands to reduce the spread of germs. If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading influenza to others. Source: cdc.gov
Seven steps you can take to help prevent seasonal flu
1. Get your flu vaccination.
The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year.
2. Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
3. Stay home when you are sick.
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
4. Cover your mouth and nose.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
5. Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
7. Practice other good health habits.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

Leave a Legacy: You can make a difference in the lives that follow Over 80 non-profits in the Central New York Area, from Auburn to Utica, have banded together to share resources and spread the word about leaving a legacy. “You do not have to be a millionaire to make a difference in someone’s life,” explains Beth Lynn Hoey, director of development for Francis House and steering committee member for Leave a Legacy of CNY. “There have been so many people just like you and me who have saved lives and impacted lives by leaving a bequest or planned gift to charity.” Leave a Legacy is a campaign conducted by the Na-
tional Committee on Planned Giving to inspire people to make charitable bequests. Bequests are just one type of “planned gift” – a gift that will be distributed sometime in the future – to a charity that is meaningful to you. Through Leave a Legacy, people who have made charitable bequests and other types of planned gifts share their experiences in the hope of encouraging others to give. Leave a Legacy is a broadbased community campaign that involves all types of nonprofit groups, including social service and arts organizations, hospitals and educational in07995

Francis House provides a home and an extended family to people with terminal illnesses. They have received a bequest from a friend of past resident. The gift was used to help pay for the cost of care for residents in their final days. stitutions. The program is con- estate planning. These partners ducted by professionals who help promote the message that assist donors with charitable people from all walks of life
– covering a wide range of ages and income levels – have the ability to “make a difference in the lives that follow” by leaving a charitable legacy. Leave a Legacy does not solicit gifts for any particular organization. Instead, the advertisements encourage individuals to support their favorite charity or charities. Hoey recalls the story of one man who had a lifelong friend living at Francis House, a home for people with terminal illnesses, in Syracuse. He visited with his friend every day, and eventually got to know the residents and volunteers on a personal level. He was so moved
by the organization, the people involved, and how they cared for his friend, that he decided to make a gift to Francis House. He donated a collection of over 400 videos for the residents to enjoy. When he died, he left a bequest in his will to Francis House. His gift was used to pay for the cost of care for several residents at Francis House. Says Hoey, “he supported us when he was alive and then left us a legacy of his love by truly ‘making a difference in the lives that followed him.’” “Now more than ever, nonprofits have tightened their budgets,” explains Hoey. “It is See Legacy on page 4

CANCER BEWARE “I had cancer. Cancer never had me.” Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.

Yair Dotan with his wife and the HOA research family.
HOA research around the world Hematology Oncology Associates (HOA) offers our patients a wide variety of treatments. These range from standard of care treatments, which have been proven effective, to a variety of clinical trials in which investigational medications are given with or compared to a standard of care to aid in the discovery of future cancer therapies. Currently, we are accruing patients to over 80 different studies primarily through research administered by the National Cancer Institute. For over 24 years, HOA has been the recipient of a grant called the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) that aims to provide cutting edge research opportunities to communities throughout the nation. To compliment what is available through CCOP, we also participate in a few studies with pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we have authored and initiated several studies ourselves. Our participation and initiative in oncology research has garnered national attention and several awards for excellence. To our surprise, word of our outstanding research program has recently reached around the globe. Yair Dotan is much like any of our other patients who participate in research. He comes in for doctor’s appointments, meets with his research team, and receives an experimental drug for prostate cancer. However, unlike many of our patients, Dotan travels from Tel-Aviv, Israel, to our office in East Syracuse to participate in a trail sponsored by Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. called COU-AA-302. After trying conventional treatments in Israel without success, Dotan decided to actively help his doctors find another treatment for his progressive disease. It was through the website, clinicaltrials. gov, that he discovered the Cougar study, as well as facilities that were participating in this research. Through the website, he was able to contact the director of the study who suggested several clinics where this research was being conducted. Dotan’s first choice was to go to an oncology center at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. He was also considering hematology/ oncology centers in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as Syracuse. Unfortunately, he discovered there would be a significant delay in meeting with doctors and researchers at UCLA. This wait meant a delay in treatment that Dolan felt was unacceptable. After several emails and lengthy phone conversations across the ocean with Colleen Duchano, our research RN, Dotan chose our very own Hematology Oncology Associates of Central New York. This was an easy choice as Dotan was able to meet with Dr. Gullo and begin the process of study treatment within one week of his initial contact with HOA. As an international patient who is thrilled with his care here at HOA, Dotan has some advice to share with all of us: “Be happy and optimistic,� and always “be a part of your own care.� Dotan shares that he is not frightened by his disease—rather he makes the most out of every day and takes it all in stride. He feels optimistic, fortunate and grateful as he is love and supported by his devoted wife, family and friends. He considers HOA a significant part of his life now and states we will forever have a place in his heart. Likewise, this courageous, gracious man and his family have touched us as we engage in his fight against cancer with and for him.

Soccer Lakers tame Mustangs By Phil Blackwell Even at 16-0, even as the state’s top-ranked team, and even with a no. 1 seed, the Skaneateles boys soccer team might end up having the toughest possible climb to earn a Section III Class B championship. At least the first two steps for the Lakers up the tournament ladder involve beating longtime rivals in the OHSL Liberty division who know every intricate detail of what Skaneateles does on the field, which is bound to make things trickier - at least in theory. Or the Lakers could simply do what it has accomplished every other time it stared down an obstacle this fall - namely, win. And the winning continued last Friday night when one of those big rivals, no. 8 seed Marcellus, paid a visit to Skaneateles - and left the field two hours later with its season over as the Lakers shut them out, 3-0, in the Class B quarterfinals. This was, of course, the same match-up as the 2009 sectional final, where Marcellus won. But while the Mustangs underwent a coaching change and complete turnover of its starting lineup, Sknaeateles returned most of its stars, with nothing less than championships as a target. During the regular season, the quest included two wins over Marcellus. However, a 3-2 victory on the Mustangs’ turf just a week before the playoffs suggested that, perhaps,
the defending champions were catching up to the Lakers - and a 7-0 first-round romp over Ilion, where Cal Filtch and Keenan Vaughn both notched three-goal hat tricks, only added to the concern. The nerves among the Laker faithful only grew during the first half as Skaneateles unleashed a wave of attacks, but could not get anything past red-hot Marcellus goalie Mitch Schoenbrun, who would finish with 19 saves. They went to the break 0-0, Marcellus perhaps thinking that another conquest was within reach. But the second half proved a different story, as Spencer Parker took over. Parker, the Lakers’ hottest offensive player in the late stages of the regular season, gave his side a 1-0 lead on a deft free kick, then beat Schoenbrun a second time later in the half, assuring that the Lakers’ win streak would reach 17. Ryan Farrell earned the other Skaneateles tally, with A.J. Richichi and Jeff Baldetti picking up assists. Defensively, the Lakers, led again by sweeper Tim Lewis, put up a strong resistance throughout the night, limiting Marcellus to just three shots. This sets up an exciting Class B semifinal where the Lakers will take on another big rival - Westhill, the no. 5 seed, who beat Adirondack 8-0 and Mount Markham 2-0 to reach this point in the tournament. Again, Skaneateles will have to beat an opponent for the third time in 2010 if it wants to play for a sectional title against Clinton or South Jefferson.
Girls soccer make run On to the semifinals By Phil Blackwell Though it only had a 59-2 regular-season record, the Skaneateles girls soccer team still earned a berth in the Section III Class B playoffs – and has picked a good time to get hot. Two big wins in a 48hour span have helped move the no. 11 seed Lakers into the semifinals, where it will get a chance to avenge two regular-season defeats to archrival Marcellus. Thanks to Diane Vitkus, Skaneateles made it through one big road test as it went to Adams and knocked off no. 6 seed South Jefferson 2-0 in last Tuesday’s opening round. Even though the Spartans entered the game with a 12-3-1 mark, it had not faced the kind of day-in, day-out tests that Skaneateles dealt with from the likes of Marcellus, Solvay and Westhill in the OHSL Liberty division. So it wasn’t a big surprise that, in the first half, the Lakers played on even terms with South Jefferson,
getting just as many offensive opportunities. And while it remained 0-0, the visitors’ confidence slowly grew. Still, patient was needed as, midway through the second half, it was still scoreless as both sides waited for someone to break through. Vitkus would do so. She pushed a shot past Spartans goalie Bailey Graves in the 63rd minute, giving Skanetaeles a 1-0 lead, and just five minutes later Vitkus returned and got an insurance goal. All game long, the Lakers’ defense proved strong and consistent, preserving the shutout as goalie Mary Buck only had to make six saves. Two nights later, Skaneateles was back on the bus again, making another long road trip – this time east, to face no. 3 Ilion in the Class B quarterfinals. Again, it would be close, and again, it would go to overtime – but again, Skaneateles was up to the challenge, prevailing 3-2 in overtime over the Golden
Bombers. Ahead 1-0 at the break, the Lakers could not hang on to that lead, as Ilion forced a 2-2 tie. There it would stay until OT, when Skaneateles moved back ahead, then held on behind the work of Buck, who had seven saves overall. Continuing her hot play, Vitkus had one goal and one assist, leading a balanced attack where Carly Davis and Katie Baldwin also converted. Bridget Field added an assist. Now the Lakers are in the Class B semifinals against Marcellus (16-1), who beat Lowville 4-2 to get this far. In their regular-season encounters, the Mustangs prevailed 2-1 in overtime on Sept. 9, then won the rematch 3-1 on Oct. 6. Given how close those games were, Skaneateles has some reason to think it could claim the third and most meaningful encounter and reach the Class B final against Westhill (who upset top seed and defending champ Watertown IHC) or Mount Markham.

Skaneateles girls finish sixth at OHSL meet By Phil Blackwell Amid the 20 girls cross country teams gathered at Jamesville Beach Park for Saturday’s Onondaga High School League championship meet, Skaneateles emerged as a strong entry. All told, the Lakers earned 176 points, finishing sixth overall, third among OHSL Liberty division entries behind Cazenovia and Marcellus. Tully won with 67 points, with Cazenovia (93 points) in second place.
Morel Malcolm’s strong freshman campaign continued as she earned 14th place in 20 minutes, 38 seconds, while Madeline Adams got 20th place in 20:56.7. Further back, Blair Gage took 48th place in 22:09.7, just ahead of Virginia Hamlin (22:15.3) in 50th place.
