Lee Macbeth, from Syracuse Water, came before the village board to discuss two educational exhibits about Skaneateles Lake in Clift Park. She said the city of Syracuse is concerned that people living in the watershed are still not aware of what the city does to keep the lake clean and its water unfiltered. The exhibits/signage would also educate residents and people visiting Skaneateles on the history, geography and science involved in protecting the lake. “How this community works with our community (Syracuse) to keep the lake clean,” Macbeth said. Exhibit 1: Permanent display designed similar to the national parks service signage. See Park signage page 13

Easters have been tickling Skaneateles’ funny bone for three generations, with a fourth generation currently attending Skaneateles Central Schools. The latest embodiment of this Easter tradition is Hetty Rodes Easter. She is Dave’s daughter, Ann’s granddaughter and Henry and Haas’ mom. Hetty is living in one of

the family’s former homesteads, a 150 year old farmhouse in the town of Skaneateles. The largest room in the house has not one but two fireplaces. Hetty, a fine arts painter, has transformed this living space into her studio. She actually prefers to paint outside, onsite, which is called en plein air (the term is French) but she also spends time inside toiling away at studies, portraits and finishing touches.

A visit to her studio is at once relaxing and a bit overwhelming at the sheer magnitude of work she has going. “Through her paintings, Hetty explores the space between stillness and motion. With the stroke of the brush, she captures the moment of inspiration. Her work is not guided by genre as much as by the quickening of her pulse. She gratefully explores the See Easter, page 9
