Volume 180, No. 52 Dec. 29, 2010 to Jan. 4, 2011
Gregory Wanamaker Ph. D., a professor at Crane School of Music, has been awarded a 2011 National Endowment for the Arts Access to Artistic Excellence Grant. The $10,000 in NEA funding will support the commissioning and presentation of a collaborative work with renowned visual artist Carrie Mae Weems (Syracuse) through the Society for New Music in Syracuse. The new musical work will be scored for a large chamber ensemble and Wanamaker will conduct free workshops at area education centers in conjunction with its premiere. Wanamaker is a professor of composition and theory at SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music, where he has taught composition, theory, counterpoint and literature since 1997. A native of Skaneateles, Wanamaker first came in contact with the Society for New Music in 1994 when founding members Neva Pilgrim, a soprano celebrated for her work in the performance of contemporary classical music, and clarinetist David Abrams performed his “Mid-Winter Waking” on two of their summer concerts.

The crew that turned out to bag cookies. Each bag contained a couple of dozen cookies of all varieties.
Sweet Success By Lori Ruhlman
In December, students in Skaneateles Schools choose to bake and bake and bake during classes and after school, baking for the local food basket for needy families. Baking cookies as a gift for others has become a tradition among students in Skaneateles High and Skaneateles Middle Schools. Led by the Interact Club, students in school clubs and classes baked an estimated 150 dozen cookies this season. In addition, senior (and Interact member) Abigail Rathgeb and her mom, Kerri Rathgeb, put the word out to the community and collected scores of dozens more cookies to add to the mix. Students from the high school and middle school showed up in the cafeteria last Thursday to bag the cookies, which
were given to the outreach office at the Skaneateles Food Pantry to be included in the Christmas basket program. Interact Club Advisor Karen Price said there were so many cookies that no one has an official count, but she estimates that there were as many, or more, than in previous years when the count was between 2,400 and 3,000 cookies. Home and Careers students from the high school and middle school baked for several days, while students in clubs including SADD and Interact hit the kitchens after school to pitch in. Judy Hall, home and careers teacher at the middle school, said she had four different classes of sixth and seventh graders working on the cookies. “I can’t imagine how many dozen we made,” she said.
In retrospect, the Skaneateles boys basketball team’s 75-49 destruction of defending state Class B champion Westhill on Dec. 17 looked even better, when considering that Westhill would beat Solvay 69-40 the next time it played. And the Lakers would not have anything close to a letdown in last Tuesday’s game against Hannibal, where it more than doubled the Warriors’ output in an 80-37 victory. Skaneateles toyed with Hannibal all night, bolting out to a 22-5 first-quarter lead, then spending the rest of the night adding to that considerable margin. Pat Roberts, with 13 points, led a balanced effort as Jimmy Atkinson (11 points) and Kevin Rice (10 points) also hit double figures. Craig Pille came off the bench to earn nine points as Paul O’Donnell got eight points, with Mike Richards and Ryan McQuiggan each earning
seven points. As this went on, the Skaneateles girls team, still in search of its first win of the season, went to Hannibal and stayed close until the fourth quarter before taking a 61-47 loss to the Warriors. Only down 12-11 after one period, Skaneateles watched Hannibal go on a 16-7 tear through the second quarter, only to inch back closer. With one period left, the Lakers trailed 41-34, but it could not make the run it needed to make it tighter, despite Jackie Leslie setting a season mark with 19 points and Emily Call hitting four 3-pointers on her way to 14 points. Allie Taylor (18 points) and Devin Sorell (13 points) led Hannibal, but they had more depth behind them, as the Lakers got just three field goals outside of Leslie and Call. Skaneateles would turn its attention to the Wayne Tournament this Wednesday and Thursday as the boys Lakers are off until a Jan. 4 non-league tilt with Corcoran.
A chilling experience returns ‘Freezin’ for a Reason’ returns Ellen Leahy Last Jan. 30 in Clift Park, the Skaneateles Polar Bear Club took its first plunge into Skaneateles Lake. Eighteen participants raised more than $2,200. The club was formed as a way to bring fun and excitement into the dark days
of winter said co-founder and President Todd Marshall. “While having fun, we also have a mission to fundraise for the Skaneateles Fire Department, the Skaneateles Education Foundation and SAVES,” he said. “One hundred percent of our profits go toward these causes.” The club’s timing is fortunate as they have piggybacked this event with the Sunrise Rotary

Reflecting on the Nov. 2 vote SU professor, retired journalist encourages Skaneateles Democrats to get out the vote
By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer. com How did Dan Maffei lose to his congressional seat to Ann Marie Buerkle? Gustav Niebuhr, a journalism professor at Syracuse University, asked this question when he spoke to the Skaneateles Democrats earlier this month in the district office meeting room. His presentation was titled “Now What? Looking Back on November 2.” As a journalist, Niebuhr wrote for the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the New York

Skaneateles resident Gustav Niebuhr, an author and journalism professor at Syracuse University, spoke at the December Skaneateles Democrats Meeting. Times, covering religion in America as a cultural phenomenon. He still writes on occasion for the Washington Post online. Niehbuhr noted that up until about a year ago, Democratic registration had been growing in Onondaga County at the expense of Republican registration — to the point
of parody. “How didn’t [Maffei] see this coming when he had four times the amount of money?” Niehbuhr said. Niebuhr pointed to the Citizens United Decision of January 2010, giving credit to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, “which I think you all know opened

up the idea that money is speech, and you cannot limit it in campaigns,” he said. “Therefore corporations and unions can contribute as much as they want and they don’t necessarily have to disclose [that] they are in so doing.” Niehbur predicted that the high number of political ads on T.V. that resulted will continue to grow. “Anyone who’s interested in the grassroots concept of democracy has to factor that in,” he said. “Which means, I think, looking at other ways of getting messages out and also at ways of organizing people. And thinking hard, hard about how you get people to the polls, because ultimately that is what wins elections.” Niebuhr sees Nov. 2, when the House was taken back by the Republican Party, not as a trend, but as an event to learn from. He brought up some “points for Democrats for ponder,” starting with Gallup Poll statistics showing President Barack Obama’s approval rating at four ar-
bitrary dates from March to December — his rating started at 49 percent in March and dropped to 46 percent in June, where it remained in December. Obama’s disapproval rating started at 46 percent in March and was down just 1 percent by December. “They’re not moving,” he said. He also noted that according to a Bloomberg survey of 1,000 adults, six weeks after the midterms, 48 percent of Americans held a favorable view of the Democratic Party, while 43 percent held a favorable view of the Republican Party. The same poll showed that 37 percent viewed the Tea Party movement favorably, while 41 percent did not. Niehbur felt these numbers should not be too surprising. “We don’t need surveys to tell us that the issue Americans care about most is jobs,” he said. “We may need to be reminded that they want the two parties to work together.”

It is truly so cliché to drone on about old friends being the ‘golden friends,’ the ‘best friends,’ the ‘true friends,’ and on and on. I’ll do it anyway. In the course of any summer season on Skaneateles Lake we have numerous Hooleys (wild, raucous parties usually presented by wild and raucous Irish people). Hm, that would be us. These occasions are great fun and I’d like to think that our guests would agree to that fact. And, let it be known that we do not shrink from our party responsibilities over the winter. Once we close up camp after Thanksgiving we return to the Jersey Shore and prepare for the ‘Party Season South,’ which runs through the Christmas holidays until the last weekend in March when we throw our annual St. Patrick’s Day Hooley. Rarely are there fewer than 30 people at any ‘fancy’ affair held in our home. Usually the number is closer to 50 and the St. Pat’s Hooley can be assured of more than 100 guests, often more. At any of these social events there will be numerous family members from three generations, neighbors and friends from near and far. At the height of any party I can look out to the crowd and count from 10
to 30 individuals with whom I attended high school. Making note of this fact to another magazine writer, he replied, “Why, that’s extraordinary. You still keep in contact with friends from high school? I never even see anyone that I graduated with and I went to school just 15 miles from where we are standing.” I thought about this and I realized that although my life has been filled with friends made after my teens, during college and in many career venues – so much of my life has revolved around those very first meaningful friendships. These friendships have grown and cemented over the years to the point where I guess I didn’t stop to think that maybe this isn’t the ‘norm’ for everyone. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I have been coordinating our class reunions for what will be 50 years come 2012. These reunions can number 70 classmates in attendance out of a graduating class of 133 – not bad. Yet, this particular group has shown an exceptional desire to ‘stick together’ if you will. We
reach out to each other constantly and many live states away, some even oceans away. We have stayed in touch and in doing so have shared the good and the bad of lives that all began at the same moment as we burst out the doors of St. Rose High School in Belmar, New Jersey hell bent on saving the world, making a difference and conquering the universe. To be able to pick up the phone and call a classmate who left the gate at your side and commiserate the state of affairs as compared to THEN – what a grand point of reference – they do know, they do remember. I think about these women and men and I can recall numerous times with each of them either in group settings or one on one and - I smile, sometimes I laugh out loud. This treasure chest of memories of many years ago has overflowed because each year we have added gold nuggets to the cache. Admittedly, we work at it. We travel, sometimes many miles, to be together. When one of us is hurting we see to
it that one or more of us are there for support. We scramble to share in all the joyous occasions that life has served up for each classmate. Sometimes it is merely a pop-in visit from someone on a business trip back in the neighborhood. I’ve thought about what has made this class so different. I’ve wondered why this coming together has happened so effortlessly and why we work at keeping it that way. We’ve been lucky, just plain lucky, I guess. The gods have smiled down on us and kept our stars aligned. With the holidays there are always small and large get-togethers. We’ll reminisce a bit, plan for the future a lot and look at each other with an awareness that maybe we wouldn’t have had all those many years ago. How blessed we have been to share our lives. How blessed we are that, now that we are getting older, we can justify forgetting some of the silly, stupid and unbelievable things we did so many years ago.

Lock down your life online How secure is your online identity? On Dec. 11, hackers managed to break into the records for technology website Gizmodo and the gossip website Gawker (both websites are owned by Gawker Media). The hackers released a database of thousands of users’ e-mail addresses and passwords to the public. In theory, this would not be too much of a problem for most users — if your account was compromised, at most, the hackers could make a comment on the website under your name. But if you’re like most people, you use the same password for everything. And that can be dangerous when some websites, like Gawker, are less secure than others. It isn’t too much of a stretch: If you use the same email address and password on several sites — to check your e-mail, to access online banking, etc. — and someone finds that same password, you could be vulnerable to an attack. But the fix is easy. Change your passwords from website to website! Don’t use a simple dictionary word, either — sophisticated hackers’ computer programs can try to break into your account with brute force, guessing thousands of words at a time. Google has provided a list of suggestions for password security. For more information, visit google. com/accounts/PasswordHelp.
Tips for creating a secure password
Include punctuation marks and/or numbers. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter ‘O’ or ‘$’ for the letter ‘S’. Create a unique acronym. Include phonetic replacements, such as ‘Luv 2 Laf’ for ‘Love to Laugh’.
Things to avoid
Don’t use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.) Don’t use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary. Don’t use keyboard patterns (asdf ) or sequential numbers (1234). Don’t make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters. Don’t use repeating characters (aa11).
Tips for keeping your password secure
Never tell your password to anyone. Never send your password by email. Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.

Random Thoughts: Looking back, Part II By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Having already spent one column pondering the vast amount of milestones achieved by local high school sports teams in 2010, now it’s time to ponder the larger sports picture in this wild, tumultuous year. And here is what remains true. Despite the dollars, the scandals, the quasi-scandals and “The Decision”, sports still is able to get us and, like Michael Corleone, pull us back in when we think we are out. L
Take the NFC Championship game, Vikings vs. Saints. Never, it seems, had a conference title game carried so much emotion. Admit it – you were willing New Orleans across the line, just like those screaming masses in the Superdome. And when Garrett Hartley’s kick went through the uprights, the release was immense, the tears across the Bayou copious. True, the Super Bowl summit was scaled two weeks later, but for a long-lost franchise and a oncesubmerged city, this night was true catharsis.
Move on to the Olympic gold-medal ice hockey game, Team USA vs. Team Canada in Vancouver. Yeah, it would have meant a lot for the Yanks to win, but for Canada this was about national identity, and the fear among our northern neighbors when the Americans tied it in the last minute of regulation was immeasurable. Just as the joy that was released when Sidney Crosby slid the puck past Ryan Miller in overtime. March brought the NCAA Tournament, and no sports event this year, from beginning to end, was as

The gift of knowledge
Wrestlers drop showdown with Hannibal By Phil Blackwell Fresh off its sweep at the Dec. 18 Fabius-Pompey Duals, the Skaneateles wrestling team visited Hannibal last Wednesday night in a key OHSL Liberty division showdown. And the Lakers would lead early, thanks to four consecutive wins, but watched as the Warriors rallied to prevail by a score of 45-34. In the second match at 140 pounds, Kevin Pembridge put Skaneateles on the board when he pinned Alex Race midway through the second period. Following up, Jake Valentino (145 pounds) pinned Ray Bortle at the end of
the second period, with Jon Leubner (152 pounds) taking just 1:46 to finish off Austin Woodworth. Jacob Brillo, at 160 pounds, pinned Walter Forbes with 37 seconds left. Hannibal countered with its own run of four straight wins – two pins, a forfeit and a decision – before Josh Brillo gave the Lakers a 96-pound win by beating Dustin Ouellette 13-5. B u t t h e Wa r r i o r s clinched the meet with two late pins following Brillo’s triumph. Ryan Dick gave Skaneateles a late highlight at 125 pounds by pinning Zack Janes in 2:43. Skaneateles returns to action Thursday, going north to Copenhagen for the Lewis County Duals before returning to the OHSL Liberty division Jan. 5 to face Jordan-Elbridge.

By Lori Ruhlman In an age of technology, the item causing the biggest stir at State Street School is a dictionary — the old fashioned kind that can be held, leafed through, puzzled over and explored. The Skaneateles Rotary Club recently placed a dictionary into the hands of every third and fourth grader as part of the Dictionary Project. “We call it a gift of knowledge,” Superintendent Philip D’Angelo said as he told the students about the dictionaries containing their individual names. The students, who were called up onto the stage in the cafeteria one-by-one to receive the personalized books, began delving into them the minute they left the stage. They buried their heads, they found words and tidbits, and they shared discoveries with friends. “Their interest was priceless,” said Suzanne Dmochowski, a fourth grade teacher, after all 219 copies had been handed out. “The children were as excited as on Christmas morning!” said fourth grade teacher Irene Manna. She said the most common comment she heard was, “Mrs. Manna, let me show you the longest word in the dictionary!” The immediate buzz was all about the last page where they discovered the longest word in the English language had 1,909 letters. Back in their own classrooms, the students were torn as they waited for the bus bell to ring. Their teachers said

Other students are in line waiting for their names to be called. they couldn’t decide whether to keep their dictionaries at home or at school. Many of them decided to keep the dictionaries in their backpacks so they would have easy access anywhere. Handing out the dictionaries with D’Angelo were Principal Stephen Widrick, Rotary Club President Roberta Williams and Rotarian Ward Vuillemot. Vuillemot, who brought the project to Skaneateles, told the students that he hopes they will use and keep their dictionaries for many years. “I have a dictionary that was given to me by my teacher … and I have had it and carried it with me for more than 55 years,” he said. He said the Dictionary Project “has been around the world. I ran into it in Montreal and decided to bring it here to Skaneateles.” D’Angelo said that the Rotary Club, which received a grant for the project, will provide dictionaries annually to every third grader. This year, fourth graders were included in an attempt to “catch up,” he said. “This is sweet,” third grader Thomas Smith said as he paged through his dictionary
immediately after shaking Vuillemot’s hand and saying thank you. “This is the best book in the world. I’m going to keep this forever.” After spending time examining the books, fourth graders Hope Allyn and Patrick Hackler said they thought it was especially neat to be able to read facts about the presidents. Fourth grader William Frank said “I never knew the Romans didn’t use the same numbers as us!” Other students said that while some dictionaries are “old and bulky,” their gift dictionaries “are small enough and light enough to fit in our backpacks.” At a morning meeting the next day, Gillian Carey shared that she discovered a page on the Braille alphabet. On the way to recess, she and her classmates were intrigued with actually touching the Braille letters on the bathroom signs. Fourth graders said they want their third grade friends to notice the information about the European countries for the third grade research projects. Others were already using the sign language page
as a resource. The teachers, in an email, said: “The teachers and the students of the third and fourth grades are very excited about their new gift and would like to thank the Skaneateles Rotary Club. The children felt very special to have their individual names called and then to walk across the stage to meet and shake hands with the Rotarian representatives. The kids really loved it ... a gift that really keeps on giving for our life long learners!” The Dictionary Project is designed “to aid third grade teachers in their goal to create confident writers, active readers and creative thinkers,” Williams said in a letter to parents. “Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn,” the Dictionary Project, a nonprofit organization, says on its website, dictionaryproject.org. “Every year we watch The Dictionary Project grow by expanding our pool of sponsors, so more children can enjoy the benefits of owning their own personal dictionary.”
Hockey falls to Cazenovia again

Ladies night out
Rotary kicked off annual dictionary donation project at State Street
By Phil Blackwell Nearly 10 months have passed – and the Skaneateles ice hockey team is no closer to Cazenovia than it was in last season’s Section III Division II semifinals. Back then, Cazenovia marched into Allyn Arena and blanked Skaneateles 2-0, a signal that its oncefledgling program had caught, or even passed, that of the more established Laker side. And when the two sides reunited last Tuesday night at the Morrisville State College IcePlex, it was much the same result, Cazenovia this time
prevailing 4-1. Right from the opening face-off, Cazenovia attacked hard, forcing the Skaneateles defense to work hard. For a time, it did work, as Trevor Diamond turned aside a long series of shots. Cazenovia did break through, though, in the second period, scoring twice to negate Skaneateles getting on the board with Brendan Major’s goal, assisted by Tyler Stanton. Diamond was sensational, recording 45 saves, but Cazenovia still got away late behind the work of Brian Gara, who had one goal and assisted on all three of his team’s other scoring
plays, converted by Sean Cannizzaro, Lucas Catania and Joe Nardella. Two nights later, Skaneateles visited Oswego The Skaneateles girls ice hockey team struck again on Wednesday night, going to Alexandria Bay and holding on for a 1-0 victory over the Purple Ghosts. It proved to be a showcase for Lakers goalie Amanda Lupo, who turned away all 29 shots she faced. That effort got rewarded when, in the second period, Taylor Kerr earned the game’s only goal as Kalie Pidgeon and Michelle Bronk got the assists.

we had around here came in the spring – especially May, when Stephen Strasburg came to the Chiefs and sold out Alliance Bank Stadium for his AAA debut. The control, the speed, the filthy curve, the K’s that piled up – and he even drove in a run with a single. We sure hope that arm heals fast after Tommy John surgery. Many, when looking back at the World Cup in South Africa, will fixate
on the American drama just to reach the knockout round, or their annoyance with the vuvuzelas, or Spain erasing a history full of underachievement. But I’ll always go back to that quarterfinal, when Ghana played Uruguay. All of Africa stood behind the Black Stars as they pushed at the end of overtime, forcing that handball in front of the net and that penalty kick to win. Asamoah Gyan had a See Sports, page 9

Novels don’t carry this many plot twists, from Northern Iowa shocking Kansas to the full amount of last-second finishes, in every round, to the ill-timed injuries that doomed so many, Syracuse included. All of it leading to a crashing climax in Indianapolis, hometown Butler trying to shock Duke, and Gordon Hayward’s last heave…so, so close to immortality. SU aside, the most fun

chance to put an African team in the semis for the first time, and he crushed it – off the crossbar. The heartache he felt could be felt across a continent, and beyond. Back in this land, two instances of unrequited love finally came to an end. There was Chicago’s Blackhawks claiming the Stanley Cup 49 years after it last won it all. Hockey fans in the Windy City had to endure near-misses, long periods of ineptitude and horrible ownership before a new regime, and young stars like Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, brought redemption. Four months later, it was the baseball Giants’ turn. They had never won a World Series since moving to San Francisco in 1958, and only made the playoffs on the last day of the season, a relative afterthought amid the bigmoney powers. But with a beguiling group of leftovers, outcasts and odd-looking stars (long hair, beards, that sort of thing), the Giants stunned the Phillies, shut down the Rangers and became the ideal representative of a city that prides itself on flouting conventions. Yet another moment of pure drama sticks out – namely, the last match of the Ryder Cup. It all came down to Graeme McDowell against Hunter Mahan, with pressure none of us can fathom –even McDowell, who had won the U.S. Open. But Graeme sank that 15-foot putt on 16, and one hole later the Cup was in European hands. It figured, in a year with enough scandal and controversy to engulf the events on the field, that a figure that represented both extremes provided the last definitive mark on 2010. No one really knew Auburn’s Cam Newton September. Come November, though, he was famous for dominating on the gridiron and infamous for his father’s attempts to sell him. And none of that might matter now, were it not for that day after Thanksgiving in Tuscaloosa. Auburn, down 24-0 to Alabama…. and then Newton leads them all the way back to victory, an eventual SEC title and a date with Oregon Jan. 10, 2011. Not a bad place to start another year full of memories.
