The wall By Ellen Leahy

At some point during a renovation in the downtown building at 12 East Genesee Street a brick wall on the western side was exposed to the interior. At that time the building, which now houses Village Choices Gifts and the Skaneateles Antiques Center, was owned by Bud Cooney. It was said to have been quite a discovery as the brick added warmth and charm to the store on the first ﬂoor as well as the living spaces on the upper ﬂoors. But with the recent take-down of the Lakeview House, it was discovered that the handsome brick wall was really an outer wall of the Lakeview House. “That wall they thought was theirs, was not really theirs,” village codes enforcement officer Jorge Batlle reported at the Nov. 8 Village Meeting. Who is responsible for erecting a new wall is still up for discusssion. The building’s present owner Denise Gamble was not available for comment as she is busy with the Christmas retail season in her shop the Village Choices, which village merchants know can make or break your business.

FLYING HIGH: Lakers #26 Tim Lewis, #7 Michael Richards (MVP) keep their eyes on the ball as Skaneateles goalie Trevor Diamond makes another save in state final Sunday Nov. 21 against Burke Catholic.

Lakers navigate perfect run to state Class B title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Simply perfect. That was the only superlative left to describe the Skaneateles boys soccer team in the wake of its 1-0 victory over Goshen Burke Catholic in the Nov. 21 state Class B championship game at Middletown High School. With that win, the Lakers completed an undefeated run through the 2010 season. Twentytwo times, Skaneateles took the field - and every time, it finished with more goals than the opponent, a rare and remarkable feat over the course of an entire autumn. And it was done in every kind of manner by this special group of Lakers. Coached by Kirk Atwater, with help from assistants Aaron Moss, Jon Dower and Pete O’Connor, Skaneateles had

its fair share of one-sided efforts, but also made superlative comebacks (as in its own Finger Lakes Invitational late in September), so it was ready for any situation thrown at them. Against Burke Catholic, it looked simple enough. While the Lakers had cruised through its semifinal with Akron on Nov. 20, the Eagles had played later in the day, and had required overtime, to get past Northeastern Clinton. But the final would prove anything but simple. True, Skaneateles did grab the lead in the first half, as two seniors put the scoring play together. In the 15th minute, A.J. Richichi, off a throw-in, passed it to Jeff Baldetti, who slid a shot past Burke Catholic goalie Andrew Nutt. That would be the only goal the Lakers would get, though, as Nutt did a superb job in the net, recording 17 saves. That left it up to Skaneateles’ defense to protect the slim margin for a lengthy period of time. And the back line was ready for this challenge. Having not allowed any goals in the playoff prior to the late stages against Akron, the Laker defenders, led by Tim Lewis, Mike

STRETCHING OUT: Skaneateles midfielder #3 Jared Amory reaches for the ball during the Nov. 20 state Class B semifinal against Akron. Richards, Ryan Farrell, turned away all of the Eagles’ chances, and when shots went on the net, Trevor Diamond handled them, recording seven saves. Only once did Burke really get close, in a scramble where a shot struck both the crossbar and goal post, but did not find the net. See Champs page 9

Dog tag; we’re it! New York State hands dog licensing over to towns

Plank as Patrick Henry In July, Plank, gave a talk to the P.M. Rotary as if he were the statesman Patrick Henry addressing the group on today’s economic crisis. He was Patrick Henry at age 264. “I offer no quick solution but remain vigilant on how you will proceed. I do counsel that you think carefully before you act. We learned in our country’s founding that haste always needed to

Counsel and work together, forge documents that are rational, build consensus, work hard and pray, think and believe and act as a realistic citizen legislator and patriot. Listen and speak only to your constituents not those who seek riches through government fraud, deceit and corruption promising you a return to your seat

in government at each and every election cycle.” Patriots Plank said our history is particularly important to revisit because of the present status of our country, so he invited Nichols to speak on the founding fathers. “He’s an American, he’s a patriot and I like him a lot,” Plank said.

Nichols addressed the gathering noting that it was an honor in particular because the weekly rotary meeting was one of his late father’s, Dr. Robert Nichols, favorite places to be, when he wasn’t working or hunting or fishing. In fact, the late Doc Nichols would often seek out a Rotary meeting during his travels away from Skaneateles. See Rotary PM, page 19

hospice awards Dr. Glowacki’s service Hospice of Central New York has named Michael Glowacki, MD as the 2010 ANITA Award recipient. After considering his nomination among four other finalists the ANITA award committee voted in favor of Dr. Glowacki. The award was presented at Hospice’s Annual Board of Trustees meeting. Glowacki has been a family physician in Skaneateles for 11 years. Each year, Hospice of CNY seeks nominations from patients and their families for the annual Anita Award, which recognizes a physician for excellence in the care of patients

with life-threatening illness. The Fenton family of Liverpool nominated Glowacki for his outstanding service to their late father, Jim Fenton, who died following a long battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis better known as “Lou Gehrig’s” disease. Glowacki received his BS in Biology from Union College in 1989. He completed medical school, earning his M.D. in 1989 from New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York. He subsequently completed a residency in Family Medicine at The Mid-Hudson Rural Family Practice

Program in Kingston, New York. He was chief resident his third year. With the help of Community General Hospital he established a practice in Syracuse, which he would leave after three years to begin practicing in Skaneateles. He is now a partner in Family Care Medical Group at the Fennell Street office. He lives in Skaneateles with his wife Helen and their three children, Phoebe, Hope and Parker. Family and friends of former Hospice patient, Anita Stockman, created the award in her memory.

By Ned Campbell and Ellen Leahy Effective Jan. 1, New York State will have no hand in the issuing of dog licenses. In addition, its statewide dog database will no longer exist. “We managed before without the statewide database,” Skaneateles Town Clerk Janet Aaron said of the upcoming switch back to the town’s controlling all dog licensing. The changes come with a new law, signed June 22 by Governor Patterson that moves the remaining dog licensing tasks from the Department of Agriculture and Markets to municipalities. Town clerks first heard rumblings of the law at a statewide clerk’s conference last April and have been planning for the turnover, as an association, ever since. Some feel the change was long overdue. See Dog tags, page 11

Dr. Bill Nichols was the guest speaker at the Nov. 18 P.M. Rotary meeting at the Sherwood Inn, Skaneateles. He came before the gathering as a passionate student of American History, to speak on the founding fathers. Nichols was the guest of Rotarian Skip Plank. Five years ago Skip and Marna Plank retired to Skaneateles from 26 years at Princeton. And, oddly enough, they didn’t meet local veterinarian Bill Nichols because of a pet; instead, they met at the First Presbyterian Church. “If it happened to be a patriotic holiday, Bill would always stand up and acknowledge it,” Plank said, “in his choir robe.” Plank is originally from Oswego, which is close to many of the events of the French and Indian War. Plank sought Nichols out, as his Princeton environment was steeped in patriotic thinking because of its proximity to many

of the activities involved with the founding of our nation. During Plank’s tenure as the Director of University Printing at Princeton his office was in the historic Nassau Hall, where there is a life size portrait of George Washington. Plank said for 26 years that portrait still caused him to pause and reflect each time he saw it. He said when he told people he was from upstate New York often they would know of Skaneateles because of the former Krebs Restaurant.

Opinion Editorial

Wishing you safe travels “Have a safe trip!” It’s normal to hear those four words before hitting the road for a family getaway or holiday trip. So, before you load up the car this winter to visit loved ones, we have a few suggestions to help make your trip a safe one. ✓ Check tires: Make sure to check the tire pressure and tread depth on each tire, including the spare, when the tires are cold. Also look for uneven tire wear as it can indicate alignment, suspension or wheel balance problems. ✓ Examine wiper blades: Your wiper blades should completely clear the glass with each swipe. Replace them if they leave streaks or miss spots. And don’t forget to top off your windshied washer fluid reservoir. ✓ Inspect the battery: Make sure battery cable connections are tight and terminals are free from corrosion. If the battery is more than three years old, you might want to have it tested to see how much life it has left. ✓Prepare an emergency road kit: The winter emergency kit should include an ice scraper and snow brush; sand, cat litter, or traction mats; a small shovel; gloves, hats and blankets; flashlight with fresh batteries; paper towels; jumper cables; warning flares or triangles; drinking water; non-perishable snacks; extra warm clothes; first-aid kit; basic hand tools; and a mobile phone and car charger with important numbers preprogrammed, including a roadside assistance provider. ✓Conduct a vehicle maintenance inspection: Take the opportunity to have your vehicle serviced before a trip, especially is it’s almost time for its scheduled maintenance. Don’t let being unprepared put a damper on your trip. We hope everyone traveling for Thanksgiving and the coming holidays arrives safely at their destination. Happy holidays! Tips courtesy of AAA.

More adventures at home and abroad Sue and I are back from our 21-day marine adventure. I’ll mention certain vignettes from time to time about things I saw that piqued my curiosity. We stopped in Cadiz, Spain and the shore map indicated the Museo del Mar. As you would surmise, I am drawn to this sort of venue like a bear to a honey tree. We walked off the ship and wharf and hailed a cab. I showed the driver the map, but when we got to the location, it turned out to be a seaside park and a gated area. The facilities are used for theatrical and musical productions, probably on the weekends. We walked back toward the dock area and passed through a handsome square with upper income apartments surrounding it. The map indicated that if we followed San Francisco Way, we would reach the main divided boulevard that parallels the waterfront. It was close to the 2 to 4 pm. siesta time when all Spanish stores and restaurants are closed, reopening from 4 to 8 pm. The street was wide enough for delivery vans and public safety vehicles to snake their way through, but it was primarily a pedestrian passage with lots of coffee shops and small eateries. There was a larger establishment, which was sort of

Joseph

Spalding

Along the Lakeshore a small supermarket with lots of customers bustling in and out. A small dog that looked a lot like the “His Master’s Voice” dog “Nipper” on RCA products was sitting right in front of the door opening. This little fellow appeared glued to his spot, but he swung his head from side to side when folks tried to get his attention. I watched him for about five minutes and he stayed at his duty, waiting for his owner and then the return home for siesta time and probably a small snack. I think the dog was mostly a Jack Russelltype terrier. I recall that there was a man in Skaneateles who walked to the P&C, with two dogs to accompany him. They were both tied to something when he was in the store, but when he came out, he would release the larger dog, who then picked up the small dog’s leash and off went the three of them. Mr. Lemon has become an

excellent walker, probably because of his exercise walks at the Wags Motel and dog camp (near the soccer center on Route 175). He prefers to walk and sniff on the long line, but he will walk close to my left side if asked to do so. However, I’ve not had much luck in getting him to sit down when I stop. The park I mentioned prior to the dog encounter had two of the strangest trees I’ve ever seen. They were huge, 8’ to 10’ in diameter, with large limbs about 15” to 16” each in diameter. The branches were 10’ to 16’ off the ground, spreading out horizontally, and then some of them swooped back down to the ground. They seemed to sit on the ground or close to it. I’m sure they probably rooted where they touched the soil. I have a picture with Sue for a size reference. When we got back to the wharf, I saw that the Star Clipper was docked just down the Quay. Sue and I were on the Clipper last January in the Caribbean. I tried to visit her, but even though I had a ship’s card that expired on 1/23/10, the gatekeeper told me to take a hike. It was very beautiful sitting there in the setting sun. Sue and Joe Spalding live onthe western shore of Skaneatatele Lake.

Littlehale’s memories of Krebs In the late October edition of the Skaneateles Press you asked for favorite memories of the Krebs. Here goes: On Friday July 19, 1929, Larry Bates invited the whole Littlehale Family for dinner at Krebs – ostensibly to celebrate my ninth birthday. Actually, the affair was to announce his engagement to Mary Pierson, a family friend whom he had met at our cottage on the lake. The engagement took, and they lived a long happy life in Seattle, Washington. Family connections to Krebs began back in 1900 or 1901 before

Mother and Dad married. Mother and her sister “took room and board” at Krebs for a few days. Mrs. Krebs shared her brownie recipe with Mother, and it was our favorite dessert. Fast forward to last May. I had returned for my 90th year at the cottage and was stocking up on supplies at the P&C when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I got a big hug from Jan Loveless, welcoming me back. She asked how I was doing without my late wife Edna. Somehow, that little gesture lifted my spirits, and I felt far less lonely

the rest of the day. While living in Japan in the 1950s, I was asked several times about “Klebs Lestulent” on a lake with a funny name that began with and “S.” And now living in Florida, but spending summers on the lake, I am frequently asked about Krebs when I mention Skaneateles. Little did Mr. and Mrs. Krebs dream that their modest beginnings would span not only continents but more than a century as well. ED LITTLEHALES VENICE, FLORIDA SKANEATELES, NY

‘Skaneateles: the characters of a lakeside village’ well-written Thank you for the article on Kihm Winship’s new book – “Skaneateles: the characters of a lakeside village.” It is a remarkable collection of essays on our area. It’s a well written easy read. I’m going to give copies to family

In memory of Robert J. Levett It is with much sadness that FISH of Skaneateles acknowledges the loss this past week of a great supporter, Robert J. Levett of Camillus. Bob and his wife Pat lived in Otisco but were devoted volunteers for FISH until her death several years ago.

Bob then built a house in Camillus but never wavered in his dedication to FISH and continued to drive Skaneateles residents at least twice a month, whenever he was needed. Many here never knew of his generous gift to us. The community has

lost a true and cheerful friend and Bob will be greatly missed. We send our deepest condolences to his family. PAT BLACKWELL FISH

Opinion Barclay takes a tip from the press I talked to Will Barclay, Assemblyman for the Ned 124th District, two Fridays Campbell ago after receiving notice From the of an item drive he is once editor again involved in. The Ladies Auxiliary and Pulaski VFW Post 7289 are collecting items to send to troops in time for Christmas. The only local drop-off site indicated on the press release was Camillus, so just to be sure I asked if there were any others. If there were, I told him over the phone, I could potentially have the article published in multiple Eagle Newspapers to help spread the word. Barclay’s response surprised me: “No, just Camillus. But that’s a great idea.” Thanking me for the suggestion, he said he would call up area town halls and see if they’d be willing to have a box set up on site for collection. Adding a few boxes would be easy enough, he said, and could make a big difference in the number of donations coming in. Less than an hour later I received an e-mail from his office saying that boxes had been added to town halls in Lysander, Elbridge, Skaneateles and Marcellus. I commend the assemblyman for taking my question as a suggestion and taking quick action to improve an already productive effort to support the troops. He could have easily stopped at, “No, just Camillus.” Donations must be received by Nov. 18 for packages to arrive in time for Christmas. A full list of suggested items can be found at eagle-observer.com. Ned Campbell is the editor of Eagle Newspaper’s Eagle Observer, which covers Camillus, Jordan, Elbridge, Solvay and Marcellus.

Making a Mark… An Army brat, I didn’t have a pet in my home until I was entering into my teen years and we were finally living stateside. Transferring post to post ‘in country’ then allowed us to have a dog at last. My parents were both animal lovers so for the remainder of my dependent child days we always had animals about, more often than not they were of the canine persuasion. We loved them, we lost them and we mourned them. On several occasions after we had buried a pet I remember hearing my mother say, “That’s it, I’m done – I can’t go through this again – it’s too hard.” A bit of time would pass and a neighbor’s dog would have a litter of little Heinz pups and my mother could be easily won over as we placed a small puppy in her arms. And, as in every home that ever had a pet (even though we would promise to walk the dog, feed him, empty the cat’s litter pan, etc.) the work-a-day care of the animal always fell to my mother. And – I suspect she loved it. I do know that when I became the ‘mom’ and listened to the same litany of promises I knew full well that although everyone would play, cuddle and love the pet – the care of said pet would be mine. When we bought the home we still live in down the Jersey Shore we had one dog and one cat. Introducing the two pets to the backyard I came across, tucked under a corner of the small stoop leading to the backdoor, a piece of slate about 18 inches square. Reading what was scratched out on the slate – probably with a penknife – I saw that it was a marker for a pet buried there several years prior. I was touched by the fact that all these years later this marker remained. Needless to say I placed the marker front and center in the very first garden I planted in our

new backyard. Over the years I would point out the marker to visitors and tell the story of how I came across it – all the time wondering which owner before me placed the marker, picturing in my mind this pet running about in the fenced-in backyard. No less than five fabulous dogs, two capricious cats and a French eared rabbit have called this backyard home. They gave love and were loved back tenfold. One continues to dish out joy on a daily basis. In this lovely fencedin yard right next to the flower garden with the marker there rests seven beloved pets – four dogs, two cats and one rabbit. As I offered my condolences a few weeks back to our editor, Ellen Leahy, on the passing of her dear little Grace, I couldn’t help but think of the wonderful times I shared with those animals that rest in our garden, the moments I had with them at home alone – just ‘mom and a furry friend’. I went out and stood by the garden – I thought of Ellen and how she spoke of her ‘Amazing Grace’ and I remembered the dear friends I had buried there. Just then Odie O’Doul pulled up alongside of me and sat by my foot. I looked down at him and read out loud to him the words scratched out over 60 years ago “BUD” 1947 More Than Just a Dog And that is, indeed, the truth. So there!

Schools Landsberg takes the grade One mom’s initiative provides keepsake for Skaneateles elementary students By Ellen Leahy Stacia Landsberg has been capturing and providing poster size photographs for all Waterman and State Street Schools grades. These hang in the hallways for the enjoyment of the students. This year she added the ability to purchase 5x7 prints as a fundraiser component for the elementary schools Parent Teacher Committee (PTC). Landsberg is a professional photographer with a line of greeting cards that are sold nationally. Her business is called Stacionary. She credits the late Karen Foltz of Pomodoro I and II in Skaneateles with getting her line of cards picked up for national distribution. Her contribution to the Skaneateles School District began when the Landsberg’s son Solomon started kindergarten, Stacia knew as his mother, she wanted to do something extra for the school.

“I wanted to do something to contribute. Like all the mothers do.”

Stacia Landsberg

“I wanted to do something to contribute,” she said, “Like all the mothers do.” So, she asked herself, what can I do as a mom and an artist? She remembered back to when she was in elementary school and how her whole grade took a trip to Washington D.C. After seeing the sights, they were all lined up on the steps of the capital for a group shot. Not a class picture, but instead her whole grade. She knew Skaneateles had individual class pictures, but what if she captured each grade? Stacia approached Waterman’s principal, Mrs. Marianne Young, and asked permission to provide this free photographic service.

WORLDS APART: Unaccustomed to being on the posing end of a camera, professional photographer Stacia Landsberg is modeling alternative frames as she strikes a serious pose at the Creekside. A professional shooter turned mom, she takes both these roles to heart. And when the two collide as in her grade foto fundraiser for the PTC, there’s nothing better.

Permission was granted enthusiastically. Next Stacia selected Waterman’s distinctive, colorful playground as a backdrop. After capturing the pictures, she blew them up poster size and decorated the hallways of the school. The kids really enjoyed picking themselves out of the crowd. They’d walk by the enlarged photos and say, “There I am.” That was four years ago. Solomon’s sister, Graeson followed in his footsteps and entered Waterman, meanwhile last year he moved over to State Street upon entering third grade. Stacia continued capturing images of the Waterman grades, but also approached State Street’s principal, Mr. Woodruff. He was also very supportive of the idea. This time they used the big tree out front and the school building as a backdrop. This project is a labor of love done entirely at her own expense. It’s continued growth stems from “the love the children have from looking at the photos,” Stacia said. That love inspired her last year to approach the PTC to offer 5x8s of the photos for sale for $5 as a fundraiser. A flyer goes home “Grade Foto Fundraiser” and parents send back checks or even cash clipped to the return form. All monies collected go to the PTC. So far this year, she has sold 70 at Waterman and 100 at State Street. If you haven’t ordered your grade photo yet, it’s not too late because Stacia will always make more – as she prints them herself! Contact skanptc.org/elementary. Landsberg makes her home in Skaneateles with husband Dr. David Landsberg, (a Mottville Volunteer Firefighter), their two children and two dogs. Editor’s note: got an idea for a great mom story? Send it to skaneatelespress.com or call 729-5063, because Mother’s Day shouldn’t come just once a year!

Second graders learn the reason for Thanksgiving Second graders at Waterman School in Skaneateles learned about the first Thanksgiving by ‘meeting’ people who were there for the very first one, in 1620, via a webcast by Scholastic. Filmed at Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, MA, the webcast featured presentations and interviews with colonial and Wampanoag role players. After the webcast, students did enrichment activities to deepen their understanding. “The First Thanksgiving” is the latest in Scholastic’s ongoing series of live virtual field trips designed to give students everywhere a chance to visit unique places around the country and help schools make subjects like science, social studies and math come to life.

TRULY THANKFUL

Dusty Pas’cal and Loren Barrigar in concert Thanksgiving eve at Auburn Public Theater

By Ellen Leahy

Giant guitarist Loren Barrigar

Loren Barrigar, who makes his home in Elbridge, will produce Pas’cal’s next CD, as he did “Home.” “Barrigar is my mentor,” Pas’cal said. “I run every song by him.” And like an old tried and true friend, every time the two take the stage together it is as if no time has passed. It has been said that Barrigar’s exceptionally clean technique as a guitarist is reminiscent of the late Chet Atkins. On stage, he stands tall with a relaxed but energetic presence while moving easily among country classics, rock, folk, old-time standards, patriotic songs and original tunes.

Construction Martial Arts Florist Tree Care

“I instinctively get out of the way – I’m just a roofer – when my brain and my ego take a nap, I do the best writing,” he said. Pas’cal works with his family: Dad, John who oversees the entire business; brother, Bob who runs the work crews; Sister Kelly Doldger who runs the office. They also work with his Guitar man Loren Barrigar will prouncle and cousins and focus duce Pas’cal’s next CD. their business in Skaneateles and Marcellus, every once in awhile running over to Cazenovia. Dusty credits his dad as not only his business mentor, but also as a songwriter. “I was most inﬂuenced by my dad, who’s a songwriter himself,” he said.

A turnaround, inside out and upside down song

Dusty Pas’cal takes to the stage of APT with mentor and fellow songwriter Loren Barrigar Thanksgiving eve. He’s a born performer but with a reserve that is comforting, one that allows the audience to lean in for more. Barrigar’s debut CD “Dance With Me” won a SAMMY Award (Syracuse Area Music Award) in 2009 for best Country CD.

Wednesday’s show at APT

After the openers, Pas’cal will play a set with his bass man Bobby Perry. Pas’cal said Bobby is an old blues player who lived in LA and played with a lot of greats, but came back to Otisco to raise his teenage son. Barrigar will join Pas’cal during this set, then take the last set on his own. Pas’cal said I know enough to get out of the way of Barrigar and his audience. And that’s also what he has learned about his songwriting.

Carpeting

Optometry

Pas’cal said writing “Hot Air Balloons” was a recent turning point, a wake up. One Wednesday at 4 a.m. he was sitting at the kitchen table. “You are ﬂoating around – the most beautiful spot in the world when you are in the middle of the song. I was trapped inside that waltz and I’m drinking coﬀee, I’m so happy to be there and I don’t want it to go away.” As the time drained away: “I heard the kids stirring and I took me and my little recorder out in the backyard and finished the song, he said. “It’s nothing fancy, but the truth that’s in it reminded me that I am a songwriter. Because of it, my songwriting, and artistic perspective changed. That song allowed me the confidence to revisit the songs I had been agonizing over. I realized that if could somehow remove any agenda that I had been putting on my music, I could get a clearer image of what the songs that I’d been writing were trying to say. It’s just simply getting out of the way of yourself, “Hot air balloons” gave me the key to songwriting. Drop your guard and let go.”

It’s fair to say this is going to be a songwriter bonanza, as Auburn Public Theater presents Barrigar and Pas’cal together with openers Tommy Connors and Jeﬀery Scott Connor (no relation) the night before Thanksgiving, Wednesday Nov.24 at 7:30p.m. Skaneateles’ Dustin “Dusty” Pas’cal is an old soul, as tall as a pine tree with a boyish exterior for bark. He said people can hear at this show what is going on with his next album, working title, “Hot Air Balloons.” “Music is so important to me, but I lost my way – that’s a good thing – if you don’t lose your way you never know where you are.” He lost his way like many of us during this recession. Trying to keep the family business D.B. Pas’cal Chimney and Roofing aﬂoat and to be a good husband to Michelle and to raise their five precious children, he didn’t have time for his music. But it kept pouring out of him. He said it was like writing his first CD, “Home” in 2004 and 05. At that time he was so busy immersing himself in the family business. He was really trying to make a go of it as the sales manager, to pull his own weight instead of just carrying the shingles as he had done for the 15 years before. “When I was pushing so hard to accomplish things, I was writing the most ‘cause I needed a diversion,” Pas’cal said. And now, “With the recession and the business and the five kids –these songs started rolling out when I didn’t want them to.” He summed it up as being so busy that it forced him to get the hell out of the way. “If your so close to it, it becomes bullshit,” he said. “I’m learning so much from these songs, it’s an exploration.”

Dickens update Village gets ready to set the stage for classic Christmas story By Ellen Leahy

SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT: The Dean Brothers Band (from left) Peter Dean, Holly Gregg, John Dean, Bob Dean before they heard they could add a second show.

Dean Brothers add second performance at red house Dec. 4 &5 The Dean Brothers, one of Central New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular rock bands in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, will perform at the Redhouse Theater in Syracuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armory Square. Their Dec. 4 show sold out immediately, so the Redhouse asked the Deans to add a second performance. The Sammy Award-winning band agreed to a second date on Sunday, Dec. 5 at 4 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very excited to be playing in the intimate setting of the Redhouse Theater, which seats around 90,â&#x20AC;? said Holly Gregg, one of the four original musicians in the pop vocal band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our two sets, we hope to create a type of live â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;variety showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concept, which will feature a cappella, acoustic and full-blown rock & roll music. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play some tunes to put us in the holiday spirit, too!â&#x20AC;? Special guests will make appearances throughout the night. Tickets are selling fast for the Dec. 5 performance. For ticket information, call the Redhouse at 425-0405.

Each year the Dickens details are worked out with the village board in April. The Director of the Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce, Sue Dove comes before the board each November as a courtesy visit to update the board and to keep communications open. At the Nov. 9 village board meeting, Dove reviewed the Dickens schedule, which opens Nov. 26 at noon with a very small parade from the Fire House to the Sherwood Inn. What is it about Skaneateles Lake and tiny parades? Borodino sports a wee one in May for Memorial Day. It, too, starts at a fire house and marches up the street a short way to the Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial at the four corners.

Scrooge cruisng the streets of Skaneateles is quite a common sight each Christmas season. A horse of a diďŹ&#x20AC;erent color?

About the only change in Dickens activities this year is that there is a new horseman. And instead of one horse drawn ride, there be a second smaller coach for hire. This will enable cozier trips, perhaps even prompt a proposal or two during the holiday season?

The Police Chief Lloyd Perkins was not daunted by the additional ride. He had spoken with the chief of police in Lake Placid, where they also have a second ride, and was told it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t present a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop traffic,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;more of a calming (inďŹ&#x201A;uence).â&#x20AC;? Calm is good!

A reading of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Christmas Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with music Dec. 12 Reading to take place Sunday at St. James Episcopal Church on Genesee Street, Skaneateles. It will feature guest reader John Hurlbutt, former longtime morning host WRVO-FM. This was also Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice when he conducted his readings in England and the U.S. Music begins 4:15 p.m. with the read-

ing from 5 to 7 p.m. Come enjoy and sing Christmas carols. Doors open at 4 p.m. Tickets $6/person â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Children 12 and under free. Available at Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce, at the door, or by reservation at achristmascarol@earthlink. net. All proceeds support Skaneateles Outreach.

From page 1

Helped by that small bit of fortune, the Lakers held on - and won it all. A day earlier, led by senior Kevin Rice, the Laker made it 21 wins in a row by beating Section VI champion Akron 4-2 in the Class B state semifinals. Against Akron, the only major question surrounded whether Skaneateles would feel nerves about appearing in the state final four. It took approximately one minute, 23 seconds for that question to be answered as the Lakers quickly moved ahead 1-0, Spencer Parker accounting for yet another post-season goal. Rice then converted in the 34th minute, with an assist from Baldetti, which made it 2-0, where it stayed until halftime. Then Rice tacked on another goal early in the second half as Jeff Higman got credit for the assist, expanding the margin to 3-0. Akron did score, the first goal Skaneateles had allowed in the entire sectional playoffs, but the Lakers restored the margin to 4-1 as Rice fed Baldetti for the clincher. The Lakers cruised through the rest of the game on its way to the state finals, even though David Malone and Peter Durden accounted for Akron’s late tallies. A day later, Skaneateles won once more. And for the big senior class that includes Lewis, Richards, Baldetti, Farrell, Rice, Parker, Higman, Jared Amory and Zach Brownlee, it proved the only appropriate ending to a perfect season.

Eye on Foundations

The Skaneateles Foundation is related to commerce and much more in the community By Ellen Leahy

Charles Major

IN THE GAME: Skaneateles Town Supervisor Terry Roney, Director of the Chamber of Commerce Sue Dove and Mayor Bob Green take on fifth graders at State Street School in the first publically played Skanopoly game on Monday Nov. 15. Skanopoly is available for purchase at $30 plus tax at Creekside Books, First National Gifts, Imagine, Kinder Garden, Riddlers, Sherwood Inn Gift Shop, Skaneateles Artisans, Chamber of Commerce, and Skaneateles Town Square. Sponsored by the Skaneateles Education Foundation to benefit eduacation in the community. “This community has come out in an amazing way to support education by purchasing over 750 games in the first week of sales. We are probably going to sell out before Thanksgiving,” said Sharon Magee, Executive Director of the Skaneateles Education Foundation. When all first shipment games are sold, the Education Foundation will be offering a Skanopoly voucher, purchased at the Skanopoly retailers, which can be gift wrapped or stuffed in a stocking. When the second shipment of games comes in after the holidays, it can be turned in for an official Skaneateles board game at that time. “We owe a debt of gratitude to the retailers who are selling Skanopoly for us,” Magee said. “Sales levels have surpassed all of our expectations.”

Show • Skaneateles Charity Golf Outing in conjunction with the Skaneateles Lions Club • Easter Egg Hunt in conjunction with the Skaneateles Rotary Club • Winterfest in conjunction with the Skaneateles Sunrise Rotary “These programs and events contribute to the quality of life we enjoy in Skaneateles,” Foundation president Tracie Barnes said. “We also recognize the importance of volunteerism in our community, and are supported by the business community and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as other community organizations. The Foundation provides the vehicle to pursue grants and other funding that might not otherwise be available to these and other community activities.” Lynn Brown, Arnold Rubenstein and Laura Coburn are The Skaneateles Foundation officers. Anne Bishop and Elaine Slater-Kogler are on the committee to support this foundation. As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, The Skaneateles Foundation can accept donations to advance its mission. To make a tax-deductible gift before the end of the year, make your check payable to The Skaneateles Foundation Inc. and send it to 22 Jordan St., Skaneateles, NY 13152.

It’s important to realize that foundations are on the rise in Skaneateles. These are used as a vehicle to generate long term funds for not for profits and other organizations such as Welch Allyn (Allyn Foundation). The organization in charge typically invests funds, and then uses the interest for betterment of the community or to specifically fund its own programming; for example, the Skaneateles Festival has a foundation. “The Skaneateles Foundation” established in 2008 for the betterment of the Skaneateles community, was recently granted not-for-profit 501(c)3 status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation seeks to promote performing arts and music, preservation of the cultural heritage of boating on Skaneateles Lake, the area’s economic development and conservation of Skaneateles Lake and its surrounding facilities, and to provide financial assistance to deserving individuals without regard to race, nationality, sex, color or creed.

Programs supported by The Skaneateles Foundation include:

• Citizen of the Year bi-annual awards dinner • Community Docks • Dickens Christmas in Skaneateles including Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign • Skaneateles Antique and Classic Boat

Note: This is seperate from the Education Foundation, which just released Skanopoly.

Dog tags

From page 3 a pain in the butt,” he said. “The database was a big help to me on weekends; during the work week I can call the town office.” The town of Camillus, whose dog population towers over that of Marcellus, has relied entirely on the database ever since it was established four years ago. The state’s catalog made it easy to transfer dogs between towns, said Town Clerk Martha Dickson-McMahon. D i c k s o n - Mc M a h o n noted that when the dog control officer finds a dog from another town – one that is properly licensed – he will now have to get on the phone and track down the appropriate town official. The new law requires the tags carry the name of the town and the town’s phone number, along with the registration number. Aaron said Skaneateles is giving animal control officers, Matthew and Rose Olszewski, the power to license a dog. Plus it has added a pet lost and found to its website, which the animal control officers will monitor. This includes making sure there is nothing freaky added to that section. “Some people’s interpretation of pets,” Aaron said, “You never know.” She said that problems arise with our proximity to Cayuga County, when dogs wander over the line untagged. She said if pet owners do the responsible thing and license their dogs the town will easily be able to find and return the pets because the new tags as of Jan. 1, 2011 will have the town name on it. Licensing their pets also helps because “They won’t face the hardship of losing their dog,” Aaron said. It is also important to

we don’t have a breeder … It didn’t make any sense to continue that program,” Pollard said. Skaneateles is waiving the fees for guide and service dogs Aaron said. Skaneateles will keep its licensing fees the same that’s $7.50 for spayed dogs and $20.50 unspayed. There is also a senior rate reduction of -$5. The state is taking a surcharge of $1 for spayed dogs and $3 for unspayed dogs, which will be used to work on controlling the unspayed population. The agency that will handle this task and the respective funds has not been named yet, Aaron said. elleN leahY

Even though Spot thinks he’s a dog, he does not qualitfy to be licensed under the new law, it’s just for dogs. note that dogs aren’t required to get the new tags on Jan.1, 2011 according to assistant town clerk Julie Stenger in Skaneateles. Pet owners will be sent a renewal, and at that time they should re-register. But also if you haven’t registered your dog, this January will be a good time to get it done. One town’s approach With the new law, every town in the state must draft a local law redefining its approach to dog licensing. Skaneateles held its final public hearing at the Thursday Nov. 18 meeting and it passed. The state had exempted show dogs from having to be licensed, which Aaron said the town of Skaneateles hopes to do away with. Owners of purebred dogs could also license them in groups, which Skaneateles and Marcellus hope to cease locally as well. “We don’t have kennels,

Cutting to the chase Municipalities will continue to enforce the state dog licensing law. Pollard estimates that nine out of 10 dogs in Marcellus are either unlicensed or are licensed with no tag worn. “The thing is, you have to put the tag on the dog,” she said. Stapleton says Elbridge has the same problem. “We have 1,000 dogs licens ed; w ho knows how many dogs are unlicensed, she said. Remp urges that not licensing your dog is not an option.

“The problem is when I pick up a lot of dogs without the tag and they end up at the shelter,” he said. After six days, some shelters put unlicensed dogs to sleep. But Remp takes dogs to a “no-kill shelter,” the Fingerlakes SPCA of Auburn. Remp admits that unlicensed dogs can often be identified in other ways – if not by a personalized tag, the increasingly popular embedded micro-chip. In those cases, he would call the owner and get the dog home. “I’d rather help than hurt,” he said. A shifting program

The new law significantly changes the Animal Population Control Program, which was enacted in 1995 in an eﬀort to encourage adoptions from animal shelters. The program oﬀered vouchers for spay and neutering services to people who adopted dogs and cats from the pound. The APCP was amended in 2006 to reach out to lowincome pet owners, making vouchers available to them, regardless of where they obtained their pet. According to a letter from the state summarizing the program changes, this is what did the service in. “Due to the unprecedent-

ed demand created by the 2006 law,” it reads, “the balance in the dedicated APCP Fund – fortified primarily by a $3 surcharge on licenses issued for unaltered dogs – depleted quickly.” The letter states that the current APCP has been dormant since October 2009, during which time municipalities have continued to forward cash to the Department of Agriculture and Markets. The balance is expected to exceed $700,000 by January, all of which will remain in the APCP Fund, according to the letter. New York is in the process of selecting an administrative entity to run the APCP. The entity will remain responsible for disbursing funds to shelters, pounds, SPCAs and other groups The most important change in the program’s operation, according to the letter, will be its transformation “from a state-operated voucher/veterinary reimbursement program to one that authorizes the chosen administrative entity to disburse grants to eligible spay/neuter programs.” The law mandates that municipalities collect at least $1 for an altered dog and $3 for an unaltered dog to be given to the ACPC in its new form.

“The state’s participation was minimal at best,” said Marcellus Town Clerk Karen Pollard. “All the state did was send out the renewal form and provide the tags.” It’s been the case that if you needed a license for your dog – state law requires all dogs be licensed after four months – you would go to the town clerk. The clerk would set you up with the paperwork, then the state was responsible for sending out the first renewal reminder and form; license renewal is typically due yearly. According to Elbridge Town Clerk Deb Stapleton, the state recently fell behind on this responsibility. Stapleton said the Department of Agriculture and Markets sent her an e-mail apologizing for sending out 100,000 license renewal forms past the Sept. 30 renewal date. This e-mail came after she sent out reminders to dog owners who were about three weeks late on their renewal. “Most people rely on that three-part form to remind them,” she said. The loss of the statewide registry will affect different municipalities in different ways, often depending on their size. Ma ny t o w n s h av e their own database already in place. Clerks for smaller towns like Skaneateles, Marcellus and Elbridge will not necessarily miss the state’s service. Pollard said she never once used it. “We have a better handle on our database than the state does,” she said. While the town of Elbridge has its own database as well, Steve Remp, the town’s dog control officer, will feel the loss of the statewide registry. “On weekends it will be

County hopes to hand over plowing duties by 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have an obligation to look at whether, combining our forces, we can pass a smaller bill on to you at the end of the day.â&#x20AC;?

- County Executive Joanie Mahoney

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plowing, in theory, is one of those services that is best delivered closest to where it is needed.â&#x20AC;?

- County Commissioner of Transportation Brian Donnelly

of transportation, said that the price per mile was determined by a formula that looked at three specific areas -- personnel, fuel and material costs -- all calculated back in 2008. The contract specified that personnel costs would be increased five percent every year, the material costs were determined by the county every year, and the fuel costs were dependent on projections made at the time. In 2008 the price of the fuel was $3.01; if the price of gas ever exceeded that mark, towns would receive a raise in their per-mile payment. If the cost of gas stayed below $3.01, then the rate would remain the same, said Donnelly.

But the towns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Donnelly and his staff got the numbers right. Too many miles William Asmus, the superintendent of the Department of Public Works at the village of Liverpool, said that it already takes four to five hours for his fleet of one plow and three pick-up trucks to plow the combined 10.82 miles of both county and village roads that his department is responsible for. Adding more miles just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to work, Asmus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small village, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the manpower,â&#x20AC;? Asmus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, it would be ludicrous for us to do something like that. We have enough to take care of right here with the five guys that I have.â&#x20AC;? For bigger towns, the burden isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same. But Town of DeWitt Highway Superintendent Brian Maxwell agrees with Asmus and thinks the county should be giving the towns more money. Maxwell is responsible for 129 miles of road in DeWitt, 6.9 miles of which are currently county roads; this year, the county wants Maxwell to plow an additional 2.7 miles. He said that while he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem with the additional workload, he knows some of his counterparts will. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the town of DeWitt to do the county roads, we would probably have to add onto our building a little bit to house the equipment,â&#x20AC;? Maxwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as severe for us to handle as, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say, the town of Clay. â&#x20AC;Ś They would have to add on so much.â&#x20AC;? Thomas Weaver, the town of Clay highway

superintendent, said that he currently plows 16 miles of county road, with three more miles proposed for next year. If the three miles are added to his route, then his fleet of 17 plows will have approximately 167 miles to plow each time they go out. The future of the facilities One of the main reasons that the county is trying to cut back its presence from the plowing business is because it only has four locations spread out through the county. One of the main issues with the current system in place is that the county workers spend more time traveling to the roads then they do actually plowing them. The four locations that the county currently has are in Marcellus, Camillus, Jamesville, and DeWitt. Donnelly said that in 2009 the county talked about possibly combining the out-ofdate facilities in DeWitt and Camillus into a more centrally located and up-to-date facility in Clay. The project would cost anywhere from $20 million to $25 million -- a cost Donnelly said the county cannot currently swallow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the state of the economy right now... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be cost prohibitive,â&#x20AC;? Donnelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that right now.â&#x20AC;? A guessing game The shift in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach has upset some legislators, too. Thomas Buckel Jr., 7th District Onondaga County Legislator, expressed his unease with the situation in September as the DOT made its budget proposal to the legislature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have is 19 towns with 19 different distractions on our hands,â&#x20AC;?

Onondaga Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towns and villages will be asked to plow an additional 61 miles of county roads this winter, the result of a provision in the adopted 2011 county budget. The move is the first step in County Executive Joanie Mahoneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to completely turn over snow removal of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 800 miles of roadway to the towns and villages by May 2012. In return, the county has budgeted to pay the various municipalities a total of $360,000. Mahoney said that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently not possible to determine how much money the county could save with the initiative as it is currently in the process of negotiating with the towns and villages. At the moment, eight municipalities have agreed to take on more county roads next year. Despite the uncertainty, Mahoney said that the county will conserve money if the towns and villages agree to plow the additional miles at the proposed rate of $5,910 per mile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give you a dollar amount until some of the missing pieces fall into place,â&#x20AC;? Mahoney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are confident that there is going to be a savings, ultimately, and that the service is going to be delivered at the appropriate municipal level.â&#x20AC;? Currently, Onondaga County is entering the last year of a three-year contract that pays the towns to plow 304 miles of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 793.5 miles of highway. This past season, the towns were paid $5,660 per mile for the plowing season, which was increased by $250 per mile in the 2011 budget. Brian Donnelly, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commissioner

New shooter on the range On Saturday, Nov. 13, at 0900, four riflemen met at our range to shoot the regular weekly high power match. It was a beautiful day and the temperature was 43 degrees. Everyone fired the John C. Garand Match’s A Course, consisting of 30 shots, 10 slow fire prone, 10 rapid fire prone and 10 slow fire standing. Dave Spearing fired his M1 hitting 93-1X+89-2X’s+88=270-3X’s, winning the match and would have won a bronze medal at Camp Perry, and we all congratulate him. Chuck Chernoff fired his M1 Carbine and hit 913X’s+88+80=259-3X’s. Jon Knickerbocker, a new shooter with us, fired his 8mm K98 Mauser and hit 88-1X+87+781X=253-2X’s. Ron Troch fired his LeeEnfield Mk.IV in .303 British and hit 943X’s+86-1X+70=250-4X’s, and bought the

beverages at the fine Willow Glen Café after the match. On Tuesday evening, Nov.16, ten hand gunners fired the 7th shoot of the 25 week winter league. No one fired center fire. Chuck Chernoff won the match with a rim fire score of 261-4X’s, Lynn Lepak was second with 250-3X’s and Bill Woodworth was close with 2502X’s. In two handed rim fire Mike Curtis hit 274-1X, Gary Snyder hit 244-1X and Stuart Cook hit 198. Congratulations to you all. I owe Dave Spearing and Dick Bailer for getting the scores to me. Thank you both. Shoot safely.

Random Thoughts: An Empire worth saving By Phil Blackwell As you can probably tell, summers are, for me, a quieter time – maybe too quiet. One can only play so much golf before the desire to watch other, far more talented athletes compete for high honors takes over again. Fortunately, there was something to quench that thirst for competition at the tail end of July with the Empire State Games. Not only was covering it great fun, but seeing familiar faces in a grand and exciting setting served as a reunion of sorts. Note that I talk about this in the past tense – which is, at best, sad and, at worst, shameful. You might have heard that the state, citing its well-documented budgetary issues, pulled the plug on the ESG last week, just as plans were being made for next year. That means no Winter Games in Lake Placid. No Senior Games, either. No Games for the Physically Challenged. And no Summer Games in Rochester, completing the wipeout. Part of what makes this news so jarring and depressing is that the open wounds of the ESG, made plain when the planned Summer Games in the Hudson Valley in 2009 got canceled, appeared to be healing. They put on a great show in Buffalo last summer. Without asking for a big ransom (sorry, participation fee), but with a great deal of First Niagara and other corporate money, the summer version of the ESG thrived, and even turned a profit for the local organizing committee. No doubt, the folks in Rochester were ready to do better in 2011 – if only they got the chance. What went wrong? You can point fingers in a thousand different direc-

tions, but I’m pretty sure most of the fingers (I’m not telling you which finger to use) will get aimed at Albany, always an easy target in times good and bad. Here, though, the odium is justified. Our state got into fiscal trouble for all kinds of reasons, and all kinds of things can be done to even things out. But why go after the Empire State Games? You see, their impact went far beyond a line in a budget. Their mere presence, for one week every summer, electrified the areas in which they were held. Thousands of athletes and families and friends came to town, plugged their hardearned money into the economy, and had a great time. The competition wasn’t bad, either. Whether in dark blue (Western), light blue (Central), black and gold (Adirondack), green and gold (Hudson Valley), blue and orange (New York City) or red and silver (Long Island), the battle for medals and regional pride was real and intense, without getting too crazy. Six different times, I had the good fortune of covering the ESG. They had pristine blue skies in 1999 in the Mohawk Valley, reasonable heat in two trips to Binghamton and a stint in Rochester, ungodly heat in Syracuse in 2002 and a real homecoming last summer in Buffalo. No, it wasn’t perfect, and sometimes the driving around got a bit repetitive, but the winning spirit of the athletes, and the warmth and energy that hundreds of volunteers poured into their duties, were just as memorable as the medals being won. Maybe there’s a way this can all come back. Buffalo showed a partial template, only relying

on $1 million or so of state money and getting the rest through private means. Even in trying economic times, this is a good, positive event that corporations should feel good about getting behind. In the meantime, maybe we can fire up some good old-fashioned populism and get our state officials riled up about this. And maybe there’s an ally right near the top. As noted, the ESG Summer Games of 2011 were set for Rochester. And its mayor, Robert Duffy, just received a promotion – to lieutenant governor, no. 2 behind Andrew Cuomo. In the immediate aftermath of the ESG cancellation notice, Duffy said he was “certain that the incoming administration will revisit this decision after Jan. 1.” That leaves five weeks, folks. Five weeks for athletes and officials from across the state to put their geographic, economic and sociological differences aside and work together to put some pressure on the powers-to-be (Cuomo, Duffy and every state legislator) to bring the ESG back. The point is to be loud, and consistent, and insistent. Tell them that, yes, the state has many, many problems, but that the ESG is not one of then. There’s no appreciable impact on taxpayers to fund it, and the goodwill generated by a new administration can’t hurt, either. In some form or another, funded in some way or another, the Empire State Games is a proud part of our athletic history. By getting proactive to save them, we can make sure that the history can continue to be written, year by year, for a long time to come.

holiday season not a joy for all The holiday season is a difficult time of year for those who are grieving the death of a loved one. Approximately 100,000 people in the Central New York community are grieving at any given time. Every day for the past 32 years, HOPE has provided one-to-one counseling, 10 support groups, telephone helpline, HOPEline newsletter and community education free-ofcharge to grieving children, families, and adults throughout Central New York. HOPE does not receive annual local, state, or federal funding. All funds needed are raised through special events, appeal letters, the sale of HOPE’s books, memorial bricks and benches and the generosity of donors and corporations. The agency primarily serves grieving children and adults throughout Central New York. Each year, HOPE touches the lives of nearly 10,000 people of all ages in our community and beyond. Therese Schoeneck founded Hope for the Bereaved, Inc. (HOPE) in 1978 after the death of her daughter, Mary, in a car accident. At the time, Central New York did not have a support group available to parents coping with the death of a child. Determined that something positive would come from Mary’s death, Therese started Hope for the Bereaved. HOPE is oﬀering a special program called “Coping with the Holidays,” and the public is welcome free-of-charge. Pre-registration is not required.

“Nineteen towns with 19 different computer operations, 19 different purchasing operations, and 19 different insurance operations.” “I think we’re foolish if we don’t do hard-number calculations,” he said But to Mahoney, it only makes sense to utilize the facilities that the municipalities already have. Mahoney said there are several other areas where the towns and the county are providing the same service. For her, cutting out the recurring lines is a priority. “There are things that you are doing on the town level

and I’m doing on a county level that are serving the same person who is paying the bills,” Mahoney said. “I think we have an obligation to look at whether, combining our forces, we can pass a smaller bill on to you at the end of the day.”

We’re consolidating and sharing services with municipalities like we never have.”

save jobs, but they have yet to produce evidence to show that the new plowing arrangements would actually save money. “Once you do it and show people it can work, that’s when you start getting a snowball effect,” Mahoney said. “The consolidation has really ramped up in a way that this community has never seen before. We’re consolidating and sharing services with municipalities like we never have.”

Rotary PM

From page 3

Bill Nichols asked if the military servicemen or women in the room would please stand up. “In my opinion you are not recognized enough,” Nichols said, “You have the same value as the founding fathers.” He also noted that many of his heroes growing up were athletes, from Willy Mays to Skaneateles’ local athletes including Art Hyatt and Jack Hyatt (Jack, a Rotarian of longstanding, was in attendance). Nichols interest in history Nichols said the roots of his interest in history began in the summer of 1969 when he was hitchhiking around Europe. Neil Armstrong had just landed on the moon, and this was being much talked about in Europe. During one conversation Nichols was having about the lunar landing, a fellow compatriot mentioned a recent visit to Dachau. Nichols followed his lead and toured the former Nazi concentration camp, which was a very moving experience. Upon leaving the camp’s grounds there was a sign that read:

“Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.” Nichols said he has found that statement to be very true.

“Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.” On a subsequent trip to Europe with his wife, Sandy, who was pregnant, they wanted to visit friends in Berlin behind the iron curtain. During their time crossing through East Berlin they became very tired and pulled over for a nap. When they later got to the gatehouse at the border, they were arrested because of the extra time the nap took up from their entrance into that country. They were held up for eight hours before they could explain their circumstances satisfactorily. “That experience made me appreciate our freedom here,” Nichols said. As years have gone by, Nichols has learned more about history and he said it

has been discouraging how history has become less and less emphasized with the younger generation. He often quizzes young people on what they might know and it is discouraging. He said historical dates are important, so one can understand the sequence of events. “I am frightened for our future,” Nichols said. “If we forget our founding fathers, I think we are doomed.” Nichols reminded his audience that what the founding fathers were doing to try and form a country, was treason at that time. If they were found they would have been hung or transported back to England, and sent to the tower to be hung. Early Americans “There had never been a country formed like the United States,” he said. “The odds against it were great back in the 18th century. First of all, there was a huge land mass. Each individual state formed their own organization, and then they fought together like cats and dogs. No other country had

formed a republic, plus we had to overthrow the most powerful country in the world.” Part of the problem was the taxation. This was brought about because of Great Britian’s (GB) expenses fighting first the French and Indian War, then GB was at war in Europe and India. These conflicts put such a strain on the national treasury that GB had to tax the colonies. “It was tax after tax, on molasses, stamps, tea …” he said. Nichols talked about specific characters and their actions such as Sam Adams, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Ben Franklin, King George III, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold. He highlighted the Battle of Saratoga, the signing of the Decleration of Independence, the Constitution and the Article of Confederations (States’ rights). “In 1788 they came up with the Constitution that is still sacred around the world,” Nichols said.

He described the initial two political parties: the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans. He said that after two terms the iconic George Washington said that two terms were enough for anybody, which set a precedent for term limits. Next up, John Adams had a very difficult presidency after eight years of being vice president. At the witching hour – which is 8 p.m. for Rotarians, Nichols closed saying that the subject was so massive and intricate that he could go on endlessly. Meeting close

Then the rotary closed their meeting as they do each week with the four way test: Of the things we think, say or do Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? Started in 1905, Rotary is the world’s first service club; named Rotary because it initially rotated among members offices. It was established by

Paul Harris who wanted to capture in a professional club the same spirit he had felt growing up in a small town. A spirit of community based on positive values. Rotarians pool their resources and contribute their talents to help serve those in need in their communities, as well as communities in need. The clubs also strive to enrich the individuals in the community it serves. Consider the successful Rotary Foreign Student Exchange Program that sends students all over the world, while also welcoming students from other lands to our community. “The organization’s dedication to this ideal is best expressed in its motto: Service Above Self.” – from the website rotary.org. Skaneateles is fortunate in that it has two Rotary Clubs to fit into today’s busy schedules – one at 7 a.m. each Thursday at the Y Community Center called the Sunrize Rotary and one at 6 p.m. each Thursday at the Sherwood Inn. For more information contact P.M. club at 685-0529 or Sunrize at 685-3416.
