Interest in drama is so high at Skaneateles Middle School that drama director Colleen Anna had to make significant cuts while casting the recent musical (Oklahoma!) even after deciding to double cast the production to include as many as possible. “I had to cut 15, all sixth graders,” she said. Last year, 90 students tried out for the middle school musical and Anna had to cut 40. The high demand led to the creation of something new this year: a special drama program for sixth grad-

SKARTS announces funding for grants The Skaneateles Area Arts Council is pleased to announce funding opportunities for interested individuals or groups that live or hold events in the Skaneateles area. This year there will be two calendar deadlines for applicants to consider: May 1 and Nov. 1. “ The Arts Council is delighted to provide this important community support once again,” said Barbara Delmonico, committee chair and arts council board member. “Last year we were able to contribute a total of $7500 to eleven deserving individuals and groups. Once again we hope to help a number of artists, musicians, students, performing arts groups and community organizations through this funding initiative. We realize that throughout the calendar year different situations and needs arise; therefore we thought it would be helpful to provide two different chances to apply.” For the first funding initiative, applications must be received no later than May 1. Winners will be notified by June 1. To download an application, go to skarts.org, email bkdelmonico@hotmail.com or call 685-7427.

Golf even worse. Lemp said when he first told people about the tremendous need for this type of service, they didn’t want to believe that this kind of abuse was going on in Central New York. The Post-Standard recently
reported that “the number of reports of abused and neglected children has risen dramatically. In 2009, there were 6,998 such children in Onondaga County. Last year, that number was 9,264. Abuse cases, which involve sexual assault or
serious physical injury, dropped slightly, from 385 to 372. The number of neglect cases rose by nearly 2,300.” Lemp said last year 4,000 calls were fielded at McMahon-Ryan while 350 youths came through the House.
“And trust me they see kids from all over including, Skaneateles, Cicero, Fayetteville,” Lemp said. The 100 holes tournament has raised more than $500,000 in its seven years. This directly impacts the operation of

It will also host a presence for the District Attorney’s office and the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Department. Lemp said the fundraiser is also very important because of the lack of state aid available for McMahon Ryan’s mission. Lemp said one of the key ingredients is Clear Channels sponsorship; and, Jim Reith’s tremendous contribution as a spokesperson for the event has been invaluable. “These guys are players,” Lemp said, “there are no prizes, instead the tournament has become a badge of honor.” For more information on the tourney or how to pledge your financial support to the players, mcmahonryan100holes4kids. org.

Community News Skaneateles loses a bright light Jean Graham was ‘a sister to all of us’ By Ellen Leahy The last time I saw Jean Graham she graciously comforted me about my mother’s recent passing. I was covering the first collaboration between Skaneateles School’s young art students and the Skaneateles Library. It was very stressful to be out in public around so many people. I certainly didn’t feel up to much interaction, but wanted to report on this momentous event. To have your work displayed in public is quite an occasion, at any age. After mingling around the stacks and the colorful, clever artwork, I was drawn to Jean’s sweet face and calming presence. She just knew how I was really feeling amidst that celebration, and took time out to make it all better. She was exercising yet again her classic teacher intuition. I also learned that day that she was in charge of the children’s books, and I remember thinking that our children were in really good hands. Your first books stay with you for life; those stories truly matter as we find our way. We really do reflect back to their humor, images, characters and lessons. When I heard of Jean’s sud-
den death, it was such a shock. I couldn’t help but think about her vibrancy that day with her absolute delight to be part of our library, our schools, our lives. Hundreds of people turned out for her funeral at the First Presbyterian Church on March 19. I had family visiting who came back from a trip downtown and said, “What’s going on, the village is packed with people!� It wasn’t the festival or the boat show or Dickens Christmas, instead it was the people whose lives had been touched by Jean Graham. One in particular was the violin sensation, Hilary Hahn, who performed Bach Andante from Sonata No. 2 in A minor, BMV 1003 at Jean’s service. She had met the Grahams while attending our internationally recognized yearly chamber music event, The Skaneateles Festival. The Grahams had hosted her in their home during her many visits to perform in the festival. Jean’s funeral was the first time Hahn had ever heard a bell choir. Jean was a founding member of the First Presbyterian bell choir, which performed “On Eagles Wings� at her service. The choir was an integral part of Jean’s spiritual life. Dave Graham told the congregation that Jean thought of Hilary

A letter from Jean’s brother
Jean’s brother Don Schaffner of Atlanta, GA, is house-bound with ALS. He summed the tributes up best in a letter he wrote, which was read by his son Todd Schaffner at Jean’s service: Dear family and friends, Jean was a truly wonderful person whose love of life, compassion for her fellow human beings, commitment to education, concern for nature, love of learning, leadership, kindness and friendship will be greatly missed by Dave, our sister Sue, her family including Wendy, Ginger, Scott, Parker, Eliza, as well as our family, her friends and her community.   Jean was a sister to all of us. Love, Don as her third daughter; and her other daughters, Wendy Graham and Ginger (Graham) Livingston refer to Hilary as “the one who got all the talent.� Ironically, Hahn was able to pick up and attend Jean’s funeral because her tour to Japan was suddenly canceled because of the massive earthquake that rocked that country. The Grahams had their own connection to Japan, as Dave was stationed in Japan as a Navy man

The pursuit of happiness in CNY A new study published in the Atlantic Monthly attempts to quantify the amount of happiness people in various communities feel, From the and Syracuse, it seems, is a little below average on the publisher joy meter. We’re happier than Uticans, who are near the bottom of the smile scale, but not as happy as those who hail from Rochester or Albany. No upstate cities are particularly cheery. Of course, it’s March, and although the snow has mostly left, the biting winds and horizontal rains of our early spring are enough to make even the heartiest of Central New Yorkers wince a little bit. And with our collective pride wrapped so closely to the Syracuse Orange’s tournament hopes, this season’s premature exit did little to brighten spirits in these parts. So … I’ve noticed a collective grumpiness in the last few weeks. But what’s interesting about the study are the similarities between grumpy places and happy places. In a lot of cases, the happy towns and Syracuse have quite a bit in common. Several are college towns (Lincoln, Neb., Burlington, Vt., Boulder, Colo.). And before you tell me that weather is the dominant factor, a look at the happy map would show that there are a lot of cold-weather cities that tip the smile scales, and a bunch of warm-weather locales where frowns appear to be the norm. Madison, Wis. is a happy place, according to this study. I was briefly there a few years ago and it reminded me of Syracuse. And by a demographic and climate standpoint, there are a lot of similarities. Madison is bigger than Syracuse (208,000 people as

opposed to 145,000), but like Syracuse, the focal point of the town is the university. It has a cleaner, nicer lake than Onondaga Lake, but the weather is similar (Madison is a little colder, Syracuse is quite a bit snowier). Like Syracuse and many college towns, there are a number of arts and cultural attractions that are unavailable in other small cities. And similar to the place we call home, Madison seems to spill out of itself into a suburban sprawl that I found very familiar. There are subtle differences. A higher percentage of Syracusans live as families, and more Madisonites live alone (solitary happiness?). Syracuse is a significantly more diverse place than Madison, which has a minority population of only 16 percent, compared with around 45 percent in Syracuse according to our most recent census. But that doesn’t explain why they’re happier. According to this study, it comes down to a few important things, which can be summed up in one word: money. The median household income in Syracuse is $30,075. In Madison, it is $49,595. Money can’t buy you happiness, but the lack of it can create a whole lot of pain. When a community’s economy is hurting, it shows on the faces of its residents. High unemployment, low wages and over-taxation don’t warm your heart. I love the seasons and the snow and the camaraderie this community offers. Our long winters make our glorious late springs and summers all that much more enjoyable. We have friendly neighborhoods, many great schools, beautiful lakes and parks, and a diverse culture. I’ve never wanted to live anywhere else. Nonetheless, there are economic barriers in Upstate New York that don’t exist in other parts of the nation. Until those barriers are removed and our state and local leaders adopt forward-thinking economic policies, more and more people will take their pursuit of happiness elsewhere. And that won’t make anyone smile. David Tyler is the publisher of Eagle Newspapers. He can be reached at dtyler@eaglenewsonline.com.
Joining the pieces together The waitress at the Hilltop in Skaneateles kept our breakfast coffee cups filled as Jackie Bays and I talked about cabbages and kings, Ramblings books to read, how to retire with some sense of style, from the my continuing dance with empty nest Weight Watchers and the coming birth of my second grandchild. We couldn’t help but talk about the civilized Japanese reaction to the indescribable aftermath of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear emergency that has befallen that country. We both agreed that Japanese culture defines the individual’s position in the world differently than ours. The world view of the Japanese might be best compared with that of one Native American group that sees God as, (and I’m using a metaphor to describe a metaphor since the Native Americans did not have mirrors before Europeans came.) a shattered mirror with each animate and inanimate part of our world having a shard from that mirror. Look into the shard of the other and what do you see? Yourself. To find the divine, you must join the pieces together. This is elegantly much like that expressed by many eastern cultures in the greeting, Namaste. We have seen from our own media how the sense of family and community rise strong in the Japanese heart, how individuals reached out to help others, how devastated villages and towns mobilized what few resources remained to help each other survive, how tender care for the elders, for children and even for pets is the rule. No one looted, no insane anger as the speed of government response … measured, self help as one elderly woman said, “We are all in the same situation.” We have wonderful citizens here, people who subscribe to the golden rule, our version of the shattered mirror.

Less waterfowl, but plenty to see abroad Joseph
After the great waterfowl viewing last weekend, things have been rather Spalding dull. Monday morning’s hard southeast wind wiped out each and every piece of ice that had been softened up by the warm weather and strong sun on Sunday. I got a report from the boss of the Young Clan that there were 10 acres of white geese and not one square inch for one more bird to land on the ground west of the Cayuga County line. They seem to like the flat expanses of those cornfields. Early Sunday, two pairs of Buffleheads were bobbing up and down in front of the house and on Saturday and Sunday there was an open fishing boat over the perch bed. I don’t know if they had any success catching anything. The water level went down a few inches, but I think it is right back up there as high as it has been in some time. The city is letting out as much water as it can. It appears that we will be having another no-beach year. The continued high water and high winds have dissipated the weathered shale supply and the material does not seem to be available to rebuild our beaches. I have been told by someone in the water department that the water level on the north end of the lake will rise a noticeable amount where it is measured at the city boat dock when we have a hard south wind for a day or two. This seems reasonable. At the ocean shore, they claim that the tide levels are enhanced by onshore winds and wave action. Last weekend, Susan went to Connecticut to homeschool Evan (our grandson) while his parents are at a weeklong Coast Guard training session. Mr. Lemon and I drove her to the Cracker Barrel in East Greenbush, which turns out to be within a mile of half way. I guessed this, but the Google maps confirmed it. So far, in my travelogue of our Mediterranean cruise, we have progressed from Monte Carlo to Livorno, the port for Florence, where we had signed up for a bus trip and a walking tour of the historical area along the Arno River. The bus left bright and early and a stop
Along the Lakeshore
was scheduled for a small leatherworking factory with bus-sized restroom facilities. I suspect that at one time, fine leatherworking was actually accomplished at this locale. Most everything I saw had an offshore origin and the bags and boots were of a higher price range than our bus riders were interested in. This stop served only to delay our trip, shortening our time in the historic area of Florence. The weather was just what you might expect in Skaneateles in the last week of October — gray and rainy. We finally arrived at a park high above the river valley. I think its purpose was to give an overview of the Arno Valley and to let all the buses regroup. A copy of the ever-present “David” statue was in the center of a large parking lot. After a stretch, we all re-boarded and made for Florence Central, where we were eventually dropped off a few blocks from the center of the tourist area. Our guide gave us a quick explanation of where we were on a map and where we must end up in two hours to re-board the bus. Sue had been in Florence for several days during the summer of 55-56 for her junior year in Europe. She had a good memory of the city and we wound our way to the cathedral known as D’Uomo di Santa Maria del Fiore. At the end of the plaza was another statue of David, also a copy. The nearby Palazzo Vecchio has a tower with a very distinctive top. It was copied and used as a design feature of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad Station in Waterbury, Connecticut. My dad’s office at the American Brass Co. was across the street from the station and I traveled back and forth to Columbia College from that station. We also went to the Baptistery, which has doors decorated with cast bronze plates depicting the Gates of Paradise by Lorenzo Ghiberti. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get a good picture of these doors. We then moved to the market area and bought three very nice leather belts for our sons. They were designed so they could easily be trimmed if too long. We bargained hard and even evoked a bit of Brazilian Portuguese when we found that the vendor was from Southern Brazil. However, the final price remained firm and we paid up. We had a good time and the Christmas gifts See Lakeshore, page 5

Opinion From the mailbag On behalf of the Skaneateles cross country and track and field teams, we would like to extend a sincere thank you to the community for supporting the fourth annual Sweetheart Dance which was held on Feb.12. Once again we surpassed our previous year’s attendance record with more than 320 elementary girls and their fathers attending the event. The Sweetheart Dance serves as the main fundraiser for both the boys’ and girls’ varsity running teams. As running is the only sport which traverses three seasons, with cross country in the fall, indoor track in the winter and outdoor track in the spring, the Sweetheart Dance contributes significantly to the success of the Booster Club, thus increasing the opportunities available to the runners. The Sweetheart Dance typically offers a variety of crafts, music, professional portraits and a wonderful array of desserts. Contributions from local merchants, team parents, and the athletes themselves support each of these features. Once again we would like to thank Bijou Salon for donating nail polish and hair glitter for our beautiful little girls to use at the hair/nails table at the dance, Laxton’s Florist for graciously handcrafting our corsages and boutonnieres even though our event took place a mere two days before Valentine’s Day ( a rather busy holiday for florists!), and, last but most certainly not least, our wonderful photographer Bruce Silvers for returning yet again to provide a lovely souvenir for those attendees who chose to partake of his wonderful portrait services. Additionally, we would like to thank Danette Davis for generously donating her time and camera to provide us with wonderful candid shots of the
Lakeshore
evening. Thanks especially to the support and assistance from elementary principals Marianne Young and Steve Widrick. Proceeds from this event support the running teams by helping defray the cost of jumping mats, running mats, training gear, tents and uniforms for the teams. Additionally, the Skaneateles XC and Track Booster Club offsets certain expenses incurred by team trips, providing the opportunity for dedicated athletes to travel to select meets and compete against a greater variety of competitors. In previous years, runners have made trips to the Stanner Games at Armory Track in NYC and the internationally acclaimed Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Furthermore, proceeds from the Sweetheart Dance contribute to the annual Booster Club scholarship for a graduating senior, and also cover banquet fees, awards, and medals. Our gratitude is difficult to put into words. Year after year, this wonderful elementary school community generously steps forward and provides tremendous support. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughters with us, thank you for always amazing us with how quickly you bring the glittering dance floor to life, thank you for bringing smiles to our faces and tears to our eyes as you hold your little girls and dance to the last song of the evening “Daddy’s Little Girl.� We sincerely thank the fathers and daughters of Skaneateles for such great attendance each year, and we truly appreciate your continual support and overwhelming generosity. We hope you created some wonderful memories and we are looking forward to seeing you again next year! Dina Sakal Skaneateles XC and Track Boosters

To the editor: Jean Graham would have been proud of her funeral. Inside the Presbyterian Church, hand bells rang; beautiful eulogies, family scripture readings, hymns and memorials by Jean’s husband and pastor celebrated her life, well lived, though compressed into a very short space of time. Outside the Presbyterian Church, another kind of tribute was being paid to her memory. Jean also would have been very proud to know that the inconvenient truth of 500-plus mourners confronted by limited parking for her funeral was relieved by Laker Limo, which provided free shuttle service from and to the lot at Skaneateles High School. Volunteer service rendered by Laker Limo drivers Randy Stockweather, Myron Steen and Rich Brown was the perfect way to honor Jean Graham’s

Signage should not obstruct lake view
To the editor: The Skaneateles village board wants to hear from residents about proposed signage in Clift Park and along the pier. I am a town resident, none-the-less caring about this issue. The proposed signage is under consideration in order to accommodate the city of Syracuse’s intent to demonstrate graphically that the city is attending to the proper care of Skaneateles lake drinking water. Thus it would be declared worthy of its continuing permit from the NYS Department of Health which grants it a waiver from filtering the water. The proposed signage – a 42� x 24� wooden sign in Clift Park and 18� x See Letters, page 12
Village of Skaneateles Spring 2011 - Brush Pick Up to Resume The Village DPW crews will begin the pick-up of brush, small tree limbs, and other yard debris starting on Monday, April 11, 2011. All debris must be limited in size to no more than a 6-inch diameter and no longer than 6 feet. Due to regulations, leaves must be kept separate from brush and no plastic bags may be used. If you don’t keep these items separate, DPW forces will not be able pick up your yard. We ask that you place piles parallel to the road and not behind the electric poles, street signs or any other obstruction. In addition, keep leaves out of the roads and gutters to prevent clogging of the catch basins. Please note that grass clippings are no longer picked up. The last day to put out yard debris for pick-up will be Sunday, June 12, 2011. After June 13th, we will utilize our crews for street, parks, sewer and building maintenance and other projects that will be completed this summer. We will resume yard debris collection in early October. In the meantime, please keep the street right-of-ways free from these materials during the summer months.

were well received. We had hoped to get to the Ponte Vecchio (bridge), which crosses the Arno and has lots of shops and cafes built on it. Unfortunately, we had to work our way back to the pickup area and wait for the bus. We did get some postcards, which help refresh our memory. Between the rain, wasted time, and the short time allotted to mog around the plazas we felt the trip was a bit of a rip-off. Some of the more experienced travelers made connections with small van tours for six or eight people and they had much more time to see the wonders of Florence. We were told that a taxi ride back to the ship was â‚Ź500 and that discouraged us from being too aggressive about venturing off the ship-sponsored short trips. I felt the ship would not leave without us if one of their sponsored trips were late getting back. Ships routinely leave passengers

Author Day inspires reading and creativity By Lori Ruhlman
Waterman School students were amused, entertained and inspired by visiting author Suzanne Bloom at this year’s PTC sponsored Author Day. Bloom is the author and illustrator of books for children, including “A Splendid Friend,� Indeed–chosen as the 2007 PA One Book; “Treasure�; “No Place for a Pig�; and “We Keep a Pig in the Parlor.� She is also the illustrator of Melissa Parkington’s “Beautiful, Beautiful Hair�; “My Special Day at Third Street School�; and “Girls A to Z.� Bloom read, drew and entertained during sessions throughout the day.
With her sharp memory for childhood and her ability to put those feelings and observations into words, she inspired students to create. Preparing for Author Day also inspired students to read. The event coincided with Gold Coin Reading Week. Teacher Pam Anastasio suggested the week as a way of connecting families to the visiting author event. Students were encouraged to read books at home and to bring in large paper coins with the name of each book they read. Students ended up reading 1,722 books. “I never thought the school would reach 1722 books,�
Anastasio said. “We had the whole school involved from speech teachers to music and art teachers who all helped reach such a high number. I definitely think bringing the coins to school was a big incentive even though we didn’t have a goal or prize.� Anastasio said that as a parent and a teacher, she has noticed that students “will read more at home if there is something tangible like a coin that comes back to school to show the class that a book was read. We had books from all authors both picture and chapter. I had a lot of enthusiasm for Gold Coin Reading Week with over 75 percent of my class participating.�

Onondaga County’s top middle school science teachers can now apply to receive one of 15 full scholarships to a hands-on professional development program that offers an invaluable experience and new tools to stimulate student learning. Honeywell Institute for Ecosystems Education, now in its second year, was developed by Honeywell, the Montezuma Audubon Center and the Onondaga Audubon Society to provide unique learning opportunities to help the area’s best teachers excite and inspire a new generation of scientists in their classrooms. It is part of an overall initiative to recognize the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education and to educate youth about habitat and conservation. The program is scheduled for Aug. 8 through 12 and combines classroom instruction with diverse outdoor experiences at sites
throughout the Onondaga Lake watershed. The curriculum also is designed to complement the adoption of Onondaga Lake as an Important Bird Area as recognized by the National Audubon Society. Honeywell Institute for Ecosystems Education provides inquiry-based techniques for teachers to learn about habitats and ecosystems, water quality, birds, native plants and sustainability. The program is aligned with New York State’s standards in math, science and technology, and is adaptable to classrooms. “Audubon is excited to partner with Honeywell, a corporate leader in STEM learning initiatives, to provide educators with techniques that will inspire their students to learn about natural systems and the environment,� said Frank Moses, Director of the Montezuma Audubon Center. “The real-world science lessons in the program will
inspire students to take a more active role in preserving their environment and encourage them to become environmental stewards in their own communities.�   Last summer, 15 teachers from 10 different Onondaga County school districts completed the week-long exploration of the watershed. They examined freshwater and field habitats, explored streams and marshes with environmental leaders and naturalists, and took a boat tour of Onondaga Lake. “The Honeywell Institute provided a learning experience that directly aligns with our science curriculum,� said Jennifer Cohen, a sixth-grade science teacher at Long Branch Elementary School in Liverpool. “The students are excited because they already know about the lake and they take ownership in knowing they are learning about science through our local community. Also, the materials we received were
very valuable. We use the statistical information to read tables and interpret data.� Honeywell Institute for Ecosystems Education offers participants opportunities to model lessons and learn new teaching techniques, gain practice using field study instruments and technologies, and discover creative ways to integrate natural system studies into their existing curriculum. All teachers who are accepted into the program will receive a full scholarship from Honeywell to attend the five-day program. For more information or to apply, go to honeywell. com/Citizenship/Pages/ habitat-conservation.aspx and click on the Central New York link. Additional questions should be directed to the Montezuma Audubon Center at 315365-3588 or clajewski@ audubon.org. Applications are due by June 17.

But we also have those whose rule is a bit different, something like “Do unto others before they do unto you,â€? and while they may have a mirror image of themselves, that is all they see. So it was earlier today as I drove joyously into the city to greet my newest grandchild, William Alexander Stevens, and his parents. Somewhere on Genesee Street as it rises to meet Erie Boulevard, the driver of the car in front of me opened his car window and dumped his ash tray into the street. I couldn’t help but think what he must see in his piece of the mirror, how he would react in desperate times. Maybe if he looked in his rear-view mirror he would have seen a reflection of sadness and concern about the world in which my grandson will live. I can and will give little William gifts, my time and my love, but I would also give William a shard that allows him to see a world where he has dynamic links to the world around him, responsibilities, purpose and a part of that which is divine. Namaste, little one‌ from the part of God that is in me, to the part of God that is in you. Namaste!

High power match held under overcast skies By Wayne Lear
On Saturday March 19 at 0900, four riflemen met at our range to shoot our regular weekly high power match. The temperature was 29 degrees, the sky was overcast and there was a light north wind. We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match as fired at the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio each summer. Dave Spearing won the match by hitting 96+93-1X+89-1X=278-2X’s with his AG42 Ljungman in Swedish 6.5X55mm caliber, and we all congratulate him. Chuck Chernoff fired his ’03-A3 and hit 90+93-1X+82=2651X, which would have won a bronze medal at Camp Perry and we all congratulate him, too. I fired my ’03-A3 and hit 92+94-1X+741X=260-2X’s. Paul Straka fired his M1 and hit 90+84+72=246. We all went to the excellent Willow Glen CafÊ for beverages after the match. Brittany poured and Spearing paid. We all
thank them both. On Tuesday night March 22, ten hand gunners fired in the last shoot of the winter league. The ending shoot-off will be fired Tuesday evening, March 29. Chuck Chernoff won the match with a rim fire score of 259-1X. George Newton was the only center fire shooter. He hit 249-3X’s, for high center fire and second place in the match. Dick Bailer was second in rim fire and third in the match with 239-3X’s. Lynn Lepak was third in rim fire and fourth in the match with 234. Mike Curtis was first in two hand rim fire with 257-2X’s, Stuart Cook was second with 207 and I was third with 153. Congratulations to all. Ron Roberts has advised there will be trap practice on Mondays at 1700, starting March 28. The CNY Trap League starts Tuesday, April 19 at 1700. It will be a home shoot against the Pompey Club. Shoot safely – and accurately, please.
Snow is still on the ground here – but never mind that, bring out the bats, gloves and pine tar and get to baseball already. March 31 is a mighty early time to start a season, but they want an earlier finish and won’t budge from 162 games, so we’ll just have to cope. In a reversal from previews past, we’ll start in the other league and the other coast, because the champs reside there‌ NL West – Everything broke right for San Francisco to win it all. Expecting the same from the Giants is a tall order, and already there’s troubling signs, like closer Brian Wilson’s bum oblique, so there might not be a beard to fear. Colorado gave megabucks to Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez to secure the future, and Gonzalez is actually worth it. San Diego will again lean on its arms to provide an encore to its surprising 2010 run, while two big names, Don Mattingly and Kirk Gibson, take over in Los Angeles and Arizona, respectively. Needless to say, the Dodgers’ path to contention is a lot shorter than the Diamondbacks at this point. NL Central – No news here, really, other than the fact that Albert Pujols might leave St. Louis, Adam Wainwright is already gone for the season, Prince Fielder is set to bolt from Milwaukee and the Cubs championship quest is at 104 years and counting. Given all that, Cincinnati, young and restless, has to feel quite good about its chances to
repeat as it returns virtually intact. Too many clouds over the Cardinals, so Blackwell hang the Brewers, with a win-orelse mentality, might give the Reds the best challenge. Look out for the Cubs – in 2012, once Mike Quade’s sound methods sink in. Houston is even more future-oriented, which is better than Pittsburgh’s hopeless state as it slogs toward a 20th straight losing season. NL East – Can we just go ahead and hand the title to Philadelphia again? Really, the Phillies’ hold on this division trumped all others in baseball before Cliff Lee signed. Chase Utley’s knee is the only possible concern at this moment. Atlanta begins something strange – life without Bobby Cox, but Fredi Gonzalez is a capable successor and the Braves can make Philly sweat a bit. This is a pivotal season for Florida as the Marlins have to move the meter before finally moving into its own ballpark next spring. The Mets’ Madoff-tied woes fill far too many back pages (and have), but Terry Collins is the right guy to improve the on-field product. Washington waits for Steve Strasburg to heal, Bryce Harper to grow and Jayson Werth to justify his $126 million (!) bonanza. AL West – Another pennant for Texas? The Rangers didn’t, or couldn’t, take much of a victory lap thanks to Lee’s departure, not to mention others (Vlad Guerrero), so it’s vital for a young lineup and pitching staff to prove See Baseball, page 19

Jean Graham on Skaneateles’ Education Foundation, which she was a founding member. The foundation’s director Sharon Magee said, “I cannot say enough about Jean’s commitment to education. She believed that it is a community’s responsibility to provide the best education possible for the children of that community.” Baltimore Woods Director Patty Weisse said that what drove Jean’s actions came from something without limit — a very deep, heartfelt commitment that our families, our community, and our world is a better place when our children spend time outside exploring the natural world. Patti Carey spoke on
behalf of the Skaneateles Festival where Jean was the hospitality chair. “The Skaneateles Festival is now famous for hospitality and friendship as much as for our wonderful concerts held here in this room and at Brook Farm, in large part because of our best diplomat, Jean, who convinced many, many people they were crucial to our success,” Carey said. Ginny Mar ty f rom (The) Portfolio Club, a women’s group founded in 1875 based on intellectual curiosity, shared members’ comments about Jean: “Jean’s light will shine forever brightly in our hearts for she gave us much to cherish and remember.” “She represented the
best of Portfolio values in her grace, compassion and loyalty.” “Her quiet confidence made her so lovely in my eyes.” “All I can see is her beautiful smile and shining face and hear her gentle voice, so full of all of the parts of our lives that are rich and meaningful, a true beacon of all that is good.” “She had a warmth that was almost palpable, and she shared this warmth and innate kindness with anyone and everyone. She did not discriminate.” “I w a s i m m e n s e l y touched by her intelligence, humanity and modesty.” “She was the epitome of a Portfolian-curious, insightful, friendly and
delightful.” Marty said, “Whether on a large or a small scale, Jean went about her days with humility, dedication, a list and a smile.” The following is from Sarah Redding at Skaneateles Early Childhood Center, an organization that Jean was involved with. “I am not going to recite a list of Jean’s history of service to our Center,” Redding said. “What I will say is that we might not have had a thriving child care organization, a school- age program, a lovely building for our community’s young children without having had Jean in our midst. She has been with us for nearly all of our 33-year history, both on the board and off

all these efforts was not recognition or accolades, but it was the satisfaction that the buildings were built, money was raised, programs were complete, musicians were housed and most recently Skanopoly was sold out. Dave told the gathering that “we as a family have been overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of support, words of kindness and sympathy, food and dinners, visits, cards, flowers, housing — this list goes on and on. Jean is probably thinking all this for me? But we all know she would want us to continue to smile and give back to others.” When Dave mentioned Skanopoly, he was referring to one of Jean’s more recent projects from her work
From page 3 but mostly on, participating in all things both ridiculous and sublime. I feel sure that Jean improved all of us who worked with her. “This past week Jean was scheduled to read to the children on Thursday. When we spoke with our four year old children about her death, they decided to write to her and do some artwork to give her. For those of us who know fours, we know they are still quite egocentric, cannot yet grasp the permanence of death and need reassurance that they are not going to die and their mothers and fathers are not going to die. Still, compassion is starting to bud for fours. Allowing for who they are, here are a few of their thoughts:” From Tobey: “Wait a minute — Mrs. Graham died? She was my daddy’s teacher!’ “I love Mrs. Graham. I will give you presents. I wish you were here reading books. Love, Alyssa.” “Mrs. Graham, I wish you could feel better. I wish you could have presents. I like your clothes and I wish I could see your clothes. Love, Maggie” “I love you Mrs. Graham. I love your clothes. I liked your books. I wish you could be here reading to us. I wish you weren’t died. You’re cute, Mrs. Graham. Olivia.” And then from Anthony: “Why don’t we ask Mr. Graham to come read to us?” “For the rest of us I have a quote which may help comfort us,” Redding said. “The author is unknown. ‘There are some who bring a light so bright to the world that when they are no longer here, the light remains.’ For us at the Center, the challenge is to continue our work with young children in ways that show respect for Jean’s immeasurable gifts to us. If we can do this, Jean will always be there with us.” Teacher Janet Fagal said, “I am surrounded by materials and books, lesson plans and ideas in my classroom today that Jean carefully organized and gave to me when I moved to her third grade position when she retired. “Some said that she taught third grade at the college level and it was true; Jean had high standards, she honored children and their thirst for knowledge, but her lessons were spiced with love and compassion. She supported and guided each one.” Another iconic Skaneateles teacher, Carol Anne Smith, collaborated in April of 1972 on an Earth Week celebration in both State Street and Waterman schools.

DEC Commissioner Joe Martens to give keynote address at Symposium April 8 in East Syracuse Rhea Jezer, founder and chair of the Seventh Annual Symposium on Energy in the 21st Century, recently announced that the newly confirmed commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Joe Martens, will be giving the keynote address at the symposium, “Reducing Our Carbon Footprint – Taking the Right Path” to be held Friday April 8 at The Links at Erie Village in East Syracuse. This is the first time the commissioner will be addressing a Central New York audience. His topic is “The State of the DEC,” which is most relevant with the recent drastic cuts to the agency.
Martens will be joined on the program and for a panel discussion by other distinguished speakers including Peter Lehner, executive director, Natural Resources Defense Council; Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, US Green Building Council; Frank Murray, president and CEO NYSERDA; Steven Leibo, professor, Russell Sage College and International Affairs Commentator for WAMC Northeast Public Radio; Jill Harvey, NYS director, Rural Development USDA; Kit Kennedy, counsel to air and energy program, NRDC; and Joanie Mahoney, Onondaga County executive.
This is the seventh year Jezer has chaired this symposium which draws 350 attendees from around the state as well as several other states. It is known as one the most important energy conferences in the state. The program is from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by optional tours. Registration fee, including breakfast and lunch, is $40, $20 for students or limited income. Seating is limited. To register, go to energy21symposium.org or contact rjezer@gmail.com.
Letters 5’ banners along the pier – makes no mention of other concerned bodies, e.g. the Skaneateles Lake Association’s daunting, expensive and successful milfoil eradication project. The proposed colors of blue and white hardly matter. I think that any new signage in municipal parks should not interfere with vistas, except when necessary for safety issues or to educate, not merely inform. There are more effective ways to educate the public about what we can all do to preserve the pristine quality of the lake and that would be a worthy goal. Why not suggest that the city put such signage on the north wall of its own brick building on the east side of the pier? I have complained in these pages and elsewhere that public visual enjoyment of Skaneateles lake vistas is diminishing every year, due to the continuing growth of old growth flora, new installations of berms, hedges, trees, etc., and new and more obtrusive rooflines. I think the public deserves to see and enjoy the lake from its shores wherever possible, especially those iconic views along Genesee Street in the village, not obstructed by more signage. Even the Purple Martins know enough to fly about – happily, I think – respective of their own sightlines and ours. Mary Gardner Skaneateles
Commending the town’s moratorium on fracking
To the editor: Gratitude and kudos to our town board in Skaneateles for its recent vote to extend a moratorium to prohibit horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or “hydrofracking,” for an additional six months. The board demonstrated its vision by calling for a six-month moratorium in 2010, which was due to expire. Throughout this time, the board has been actively researching the best ways to handle the impacts of this burgeoning industry. And the impacts of industrial gas drilling are far-reaching. Large truck traffic stresses roads, impacting air quality and local traffic. The requisite compressor stations and condensate tanks outgas toxins continually, the engines running night and day the life of the well impacting air quality. Property values decline. Mortgages are increasingly denied outright on leased property (this has already happened in Skaneateles). Hotel rooms are booked long term by gas companies. (Where does that leave our summer visitors?) Rental rates on homes and apartments double and triple, displacing
From page 5 long-term renters, often families and the elderly, dividing neighborhoods. Crime increases. Emergency response calls stress local volunteer fire departments. Rural landscapes turn into industrial zones. ‘Round the clock construction comes with stadium lighting and twenty four hour noise for the access roads, well pads, drill rigs, tanks, trailers, compressor stations and pipelines. Tourism declines drastically. But the biggest concern is the integrity of the water quality of Skaneateles Lake. Millions of gallons of toxic, radioactive carcinogenic waste and chemical additives will be stored, handled and transported through our neighborhoods, in our fields, on our roads. The reality is that accidents, spills and explosions are impossible to entirely avoid, happen with alarming frequency. Aquifers are compromised, streams are polluted, water wells are ruined, gas migrates underground. Is the risk to our drinking water, to Skaneateles Lake, worth it? Many communities are saying no. In New York, there is a moratorium on high volume horizontal drilling until July to review the antiquated permitting documents. In Maryland, a twoyear moratorium is proposed. Drilling is being halted in Quebec. New Jersey may be the first state to enact a ban on the process. Across Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand scientists are issuing grave warnings on the dangers of hydrofracking for gas and oil. Closer to home, cities, towns, counties are saying no to industrial drilling — Buffalo, Onondaga County, our neighbor Camillus and countless other towns have enacted resolutions against hydrofracking. Many other town leaders, including our own, are in the process of organizing and exploring protections from the impacts of high volume gas drilling. Please attend your town and planning board meetings to voice your opinion. Please check out fivetownwatershed.wordpress.com for information on local educational events, county lease maps and references. Please thank the Skaneateles Town Board for their enlightened and cautionary stance on hydrofracking so far. Mary Menapace Citizens’ Hydrofracking Committee of Skaneateles
Join fight against Cystic Fibrosis
To the editor: On May 21 at the Inner Harbor in Syracuse (it is between Carousel Center and Armory Square and not hard to get to), there is a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. Registration is at 10 a.m. and the walk is at 11 a.m. I am a team captain and I am looking for
your help. Please consider joining my team or creating your own. Go to greatstrides.cff. org or cff.org to find more information. It is very easy to navigate. Look for Janet Fagal or Caden’s Buddies in Central New York. You can donate online, too, or mail in a check or send one to me. Raising money to fight this disease is what we need to do! The Great Strides walk is for Caden Custer and all those who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis. They need us and they need a cure! The sooner the better! I hope we can come together to join the effort in finding that cure. Each day Caden never complains in class and to look at him you would not know he has this life-altering and life-threatening disease. Did you know the lifespan is only 37 years for most patients and that only 45 percent make it into their 30s? Finding out the details is sobering. Cystic Fibrosis patients take many pills a day (right now our Caden takes 36 every day and sleeps with a vibrating vest all night, every night, to break up the mucous in his lungs, and the disease also affects his digestive system). And yet he is very active and an all-around terrific kid. He never seeks any special attention for his condition. He is a hard-worker and a terrific L.A.K.E.R. at State Street School. Honestly, it breaks my heart to think about this. And Caden is just one of many who suffer from this genetic disease. Great Strides is a family fun. We will walk about 2 ½ miles on a flat route. Kids can bring bikes and scooters. There is food and entertainment. The zoo brings animals and Caden’s dad is working on bringing the “reptile guy” who will have lots of snakes and other creatures near and dear to our Caden’s heart. Please join our team. I would love it if every family in our class, in third grade and in our school could come to this event. And if you can’t attend maybe your child would be able to travel with another family. I want Caden to know he can count on me and the rest of us to help fight this disease. The government gives no money to support the needed research, so it is up to people who care to help in any way they can! I plan to stay involved in fund-raising for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for the rest of my life. Lisa and Eleni Gotsis have formed Eleni’s Team for Caden and perhaps you might consider doing this, too. Josiah Jensen in grade 4 has a team. Former student and high school soccer star AJ Richichi is forming a team at the high school! The more teams, the more money we will raise. 90 percent of all dollars go directly to finding better treatments and a cure. I have contact information as well as a pamphlet for you, so please let me know and I will send it home. You can also contact cjardine@cff.org with questions as she is here in Central New York and ready to help. Teams generally have 15 to 20 members. For school, we are going to be one or two big teams. You do not have to attend on May 21 in order to join a team. We are
looking to do a small fund-raiser at school in May. There are lots of ideas for other fundraisers and I am going to appeal to all of my personal email address-book friends to join or sponsor me in bringing hope and help to Caden and all others like him. And any amount helps! If we all give a little it will help a lot! But of course please be as generous as you are able. As I head into retirement people are saying “congratulations” to me and I am not sure how to respond. (I am sure you have heard by now that I have decided that I will retire in June.) I do not really want to stop teaching, but I know I can’t teach forever. As my final contribution as a teacher I am glad I can make a difference in Caden’s life and help with finding that cure. Along with spreading my poetry ideas to other schools, I will be spending as much time as I can, along with Caden’s family and all those other sufferers, fighting to help cure Cystic Fibrosis. And they are making progress! The gene that causes it was found in 1989 and one very effective new drug is hopefully soon to be released, but that one will only help 5 percent of sufferers. (It targets a specific gene mutation.) Progress is moving along to help others, so there is hope! But what they need is money for research to help it happen sooner. Since there are around 30,000 sufferers at any given time, there is no real financial incentive for drug companies to do the expensive research to find new medicines and treatments. Please join me and keep Caden and Cystic Fibrosis in your thoughts, too. My true “congratulations” will come when the cure for Caden is found and I know I helped in some small way. As we made leprechauns this year each child put his or her wish for good luck on a Shamrock. Caden’s wish was for a cure of Cystic Fibrosis. When I saw it, I made a decision. Each St. Patrick’s Day from now on when I find my “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow, I will make a donation at cff.org to honor and support Caden! I hope you will decide to do this, too. In closing, there is a story I would like to share with you about a man walking along a beach. In the far distance he sees a figure continually bending down and throwing something into the water. He becomes more curious as he gets closer and he sees a host of starfish washed on shore. The little boy is tossing as many as he can back into the waves. When the man reaches him, he says, “Little boy, you are wasting your time throwing those starfish back into the sea. It really won’t matter. There are too many. You can’t possibly save them all.” But the little boy just smiles as he bends down yet again. And as he tosses another starfish back into the ocean he says, “Well, it matters to this one.” Sincerely and thank you. Janet Fagal jfagal@ skanschools.org

that 2010 wasn’t an aberration. Oakland is talking big this spring, with an actual commitment to spend a few bucks and a deep, imposing bullpen to make foes worry. Again, the Angels took on a big contract with Vernon Wells, but it may have given up too much in return, and health is a major concern. Seattle, other than Cy Young winner King Felix Hernandez, has little to shout about. AL Central – Somehow Minnesota managed to control this division a season ago without Justin Morneau or Joe Nathan. Bring them back with any kind of production, and the Twins can win the pennant. Of the others, only the White Sox and Detroit pose any real challenge as the South Siders lean on Jake Peavy’s full return from shoulder injuries that nearly ended his career and the Tigers will simply mash to get by. Cleveland and Kansas City fall into the same category, their farm systems loaded with young talent that isn’t ready, so it will be a feat if the Tribe and/or Royals avoid the 90loss syndrome again. AL East – Yes, deal with it, I saved them for last. Absolutely no one expects Tampa Bay to get a third division title in four years after the Rays were forced to shed payroll, the likes of Carl Crawford and Matt Garza departing. Of course Crawford went to Boston, whose underdog pretensions are long gone. The Red Sox and Yankees are more alike than ever, in that they can afford any guy they want and about 25 other teams can’t. This season, Boston appears to have the edge because the Yanks are not as deep, either at the plate or in the rotation. And in any case Baltimore, goaded by new boss Buck Showalter, might offer a bigger challenge than in 15 years or so. Toronto remains a tough opponent, too– though Danny Bautista can’t hit 54 home runs again, right? All this leads us to the annual Fearless World Series Prediction. Okay, perhaps it’s feckless, too, because there’s a better chance whatever I offer here will look foolish in a matter of weeks, not months. Still, here goes‌.the Phillies win the National League (yawn), and the Twins emerge in the American League (really). Philadelphia’s pitching staff just overwhelms the senses and dwarfs any NL rival’s intentions. The Twins do all the little things right and won’t have to endure the battle royal in the East, so they’ll be fresh for an October that might prove pretty cold. Just like the start, really.
