150 Years Ago – Sept. 19, 1872
The ladies of Cazenovia have always, and very justly, enjoyed a reputation for great dignity and propriety of demeanor, even carrying these excellent qualities sometimes to the extreme of severity. When these facts are considered, is it not startling, is it not astounding and overwhelming, to know that they are now daily engaged in doing the can-can?
130 Years Ago – Sept. 22, 1892
First frost Monday night. – An umbrella attachment for bicycles has been invented. – There are many more apples in orchards hereabouts than people have generally supposed. – Dwight Williams Jr. will be happy to welcome his friends and all lovers of art at the public library today and tomorrow, at an exhibition of his studies and sketches. – A dancing party will be given in the rink next Thursday evening, Keeler’s orchestra will furnish music. Tickets fifty cents. – Mr. Ledyard has sold to Mr. Preston the farm known as “Glenwood,” with the exception of that part on the lake and five acres opposite. The land is of a natural park character and will add materially to the very beautiful estate Mr. Preston has acquired on the Lake. The price has not been made public.

State Superintendent of Public Works, Duncan S. Peck is expected in Cazenovia within the next few days to personally inspect the new steel pier which Mr. Ten Eyck Wendell had started to build into the lake from his summer home, “Lakelawn.” Work was stopped upon the pier a little over a week ago by order of the state superintendent following a report made to him by assistant superintendent of public works of this division, William H. O’Brien.
The superintendent himself is now to make a personal inspection and upon his decision, it is expected, will depend whether or not the work can be completed. During the past week a petition has been signed by some of the towns people who are opposed to the pier being built and on this account
Mr. Wendell has given the following interview to a representative of the Republican in order that the former’s position may be made clear. Mr. Wendell says that the pier was to have been 210 feet long. Five-sixth of it is now completed. There were to be six spans of thirty-five feet each, five of which are now in place. The bridge stands three feet above the lake when the surface of the water is level with the top of the state dam.
90 Years Ago – Sept. 22, 1932
About 100 guests attended the meeting of the Madison County Historical Society conducted Saturday afternoon at “Lorenzo,” former home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stebbins Fairchild, and now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Eliphlet Remington. The meeting was presided over by County Judge Albert E. Campbell, vice president of the society. During the meeting Rev. John T. Rose, of Cazenovia gave a sketch from the life of Colonel Lincklaen from history and his journals. Following that he read a paper entitled “Our Pioneers” that was originally read in 1905 at the centennial celebration of the erection of the Madison County from the old Chenango County, and the paper dealt largely with Colonel Lincklaen’s connections with Cazenovia. Miss Margaret Stebbins, of Cazenovia gave an informal talk regarding the historic house built in 1807 and its contents. It was built by Col. John Lincklaen, the Holland Land Company’s agent for this section of the country. The interior of the house is finished in classic style with doors and mantles beautifully decorated in carvings and mouldings and with classic figures adorning the mantles. The house is well preserved. Cazenovia was the first village incorporated in Madison county.

Loki is an “All-American Dog” - in other words, a mutt! He’s seven years young, 65 pounds, and came to the shelter as a stray. He knows basic commands, is very food-motivated, and loves people. While Loki is named after the Norse god of mischief, Loki the dog is nothing of the sort - he’s just a happy hound looking for a home. Loki would make a wonderful addition to almost any family. If you’re looking for a friend and companion, look no further than the CNYSPCA! For more information about adoption, email frontdesk1@ cnyspca.orgor call 315-454-4479.
CNY Diaper Bank to hold Downtown Diaper Walk on Sept. 29
Diaper Need Awareness Week is Sept. 24-Oct. 2
The CNY Diaper Bank, a local nonprofit that collects and has distributed over 7 million diapers to families in need in Syracuse, encourages businesses, individuals and families to participate in its activities in honor of “National Diaper Need Awareness Week” from Sept. 24-Oct. 2. Community members can help raise awareness of diaper need by donating dollars, hosting a diaper drive and/or walking in the “Downtown Diaper Walk” on Thursday, Sept. 29. To double the impact, the first $5,000 in donations made in September will be matched, thanks to a matching grant sponsorship by Pinnacle Investments, LLC.
National Diaper Need Awareness Week was created in 2012 by the National Diaper Bank Network to raise awareness and mobilize efforts to end diaper need, a hidden consequence of poverty. In Syracuse alone, half of all children under 5 years old live in poverty, and one out of four lives in extreme poverty.
“For one in three moms, choosing between buying food or buying diapers for their babies is an everyday crisis in Syracuse that the CNY Diaper Bank is working to eliminate,” said Michela Hugo, founder of the CNY Diaper Bank. “The Downtown Diaper Walk is a new way for families and local businesses to raise awareness of diaper need in our community, collect diapers and raise funds. All funds raised will go directly toward diaper purchases to support local families facing financial hardship.”
The Downtown Diaper Walk will be held at 11 a.m. Sept. 29 in coordination with the Early Childhood Alliance and the Downtown Committee of Syracuse. The walk will begin at the Salt City Market and end at City Hall. Registration for the walk is free, but participants are encouraged to make monetary donations or donate diapers at the event.
