No zoning for trellises By Ellen Leahy On Feb. 14, while most people were concentrating on celebrating love, town officials were instead wrestling over the definition of a structure. Specifically, town codes enforcement officer Deborah Williams, Town Supervisor Terri Roney, town council and the planning board were discussing the regulation of trellises and pergolas. At the March 1 zoning board of appeals the discussion was reviewed. The topic was “What do we consider is a structure and how do we regulate it,” Williams said. “The consensus was that we weren’t going to regulate it; so it is as if it is invisible. I left the meeting thinking it wasn’t going to be regulated at all.”
ZBA attorney Scott Molnar agreed that it is more decorative and it doesn’t hold things up, so it isn’t regulated by building code. See No zoning, page 3

Press reporter Dwayne Houghton went for a ride in this town plowtruck to see just how one man operates the two plow truck.
What’s this winter snow removal been like for our road warriors? By Dwayne Houghton People who live in Skaneateles earn their summer. From mid-November to somewhere in April residents wage a personal sort of snow war
with weapons like shovels, four-wheel-drive SUVs or maybe a plane ticket south. The really big guns are the dinosaur size municipal snow plows thundering around town and country roadways in the small hours of the morning. Like man-size Tonka Trucks, menacing and threatening, but oh-so cool to any guy who had a toy one as a kid, pedestrians can’t help gawking a little when the monster trucks pass by. The heavy
steel blades curl the snow and forcefully fling it to the side. Oddly, as heavy and brutal as they appear on the outside, on the inside, driving the 400-horsepower, stick-shift beast while manipulating the winged plow is an experienced coordination of delicate feel and precision few often know. Usually, it’s a solo act. Allan Wellington, foreman of the town highway department, has been plowing his route for more
than 17 years. “I’ve lived in Skaneateles my whole life, I raised hay, straw and grain on my family’s dairy farm,” Wellington said, his eyes steady on the road, right hand constantly working the plow and wing lever controls. “I’m still a farmer, but now the crop is snow. And it’s a good crop this year.” In the 2009-2010 winter season, the department logged about 82 plow runs. This season has seen better than 162 runs. See Wing man, page 26
The Finger Lakes Land Trust announced it has received an unprecedented gift of land featuring 1,300 feet of pristine shoreline on Skaneateles Lake. The 20 acre property is located in the town of Spafford and features steeply sloping woodlands overlooking the lake as well as a significant portion of the Staghorn Cliffs – a 100 foot escarpment that is well known for its scenic character and its abundant fossils.The gift was made by Syracuse area resident David Dickinson and his children: Thomas Dickinson, Scott Dickinson, Gary Dickinson, Laura Dickinson Maguire and Hollis Dickinson Wilson. The land had been in their family for more than 50 years. The Dickinson property is located in an area known as the Skaneateles Highlands: a mosaic of forest and agricultural lands that encompass the southern half of Skaneateles Lake. The Land Trust recently completed a conservation plan for the Highlands, which identified undeveloped shoreline as the highest priority for protection. A year in the making, the Dickinson family’s donation to the Land Trust reflects their desire to keep the land in its natural condiSee Staghorn, page 16

Community News Y campaign on
The Skaneateles YMCA and Community Center kicked off its first annual support campaign last week to raise scholarship dollars for program and membership subsidies. Central to the Y’s mission is the principle that no one is turned away for an inability to pay. As a community–centered organization, the Y wants to ensure that its program and services are accessible to everyone in the Skaneateles, regardless of financial, personal or family circumstances. “Losing a job should not mean that you can’t stay healthy,� said Elisabeth Hurley, campaign chair for the Skaneateles Y’s fundraising campaign. Dollars raised underwrite the Y’s scholarship fund, which provides subsidies for youth, adults, families and seniors. Financial assistance is available not only for memberships, but also programs, including school age child care, which provides a safe, caring environment for children before and after school and on school vacation days, the Terrific Twos preschool program, youth programs and aquatic therapy. Concurrent fundraising efforts will be run in the Auburn and Skaneateles communities. Skaneateles’ goal is $25,000. More than 30 volunteers will be involved. Interested in volunteering or donating? Contact Dorothea Hughes at 685-2266 or e-mail at dorothea@ auburnymca.net. The campaign runs through March 30.

Town ZBA meeting report
Legitimization of two projects in town If you build it improperly, they will come By Ellen Leahy Town Zoning Board of Appeals Chair David Graham said that 90 percent of what the ZBA deals with are older homes that aren’t in compliance with new zoning regulations. For example, John and Deborah Sheldon would like to expand their Sheldon Road home. It’s the 1865 Sheldon homestead on two plus acres. The house’s proximity to the road is not in compliance, but consider the house was built a century before the zoning was established. “They need a bigger house and way back in the 1800s they built the houses closer to the road,� said Debbie Williams, the town of Skaneateles Codes Enforcement Officer.
“They need a bigger house and way back in the 1800s they built the houses closer to the road.�
Debbie Williams
What isn’t typical before the board is the legitimization of two properties, Tim and Ilyssa Green’s shoreline structure off Greenfield Lane and Welch Allyn’s The Lodge. Green’s lakefront It was brought to the ZBA’s attention that the lakefront structure, which includes retaining walls, docks and storage had exceeded the allowed 780 square feet. The Greens are in the unfortunate position of having to renovate the structure to bring it into compliance, as the original structure was built with a permit, but the end product doesn’t resemble the plans that received the permit. Williams said it didn’t resemble the initial drawings. There was a stop work order in March of
No zoning Board member James Condon said but these are structures. Williams countered that a mailbox is a structure, asking“Should we regulate someone’s garden bridge?� You will find people who will abuse any rule, Williams said, but reminded
ELLEN LEAHY
Welch Allyn’s Lodge is a favorite place for weddings and other celebrations in Skaneateles. A parking lot expansion is underway connected to the major renovations at WA’s State Street Plant. 2010, then the town office received calls that truckloads of materials were still going down to the Green’s lakefront. “The upper storage shed was never in the plan,� Williams said. A large permanent dock was constructed by Masterdocks in Waterloo that the board thought was a non permited dock, but that turns out to not be true. “It’s allowed but they built it to big,� Graham said. And the Greens have had to take an upper dock down. “When construction exceeds the original plans, you take a look at it,� Graham said. He added that the ZBA is entrusted by the public to review construction in the town before, during and after it goes up.
From page1 the board that if it is a rule, you have to be consistent. Molnar said if it becomes an issue that is unmanageable then you amend the code at that time. “All I can say is ‘If it’s a trellis, I don’t see it,â€? Williams said. “We tried to regulate hedges once ‌â€?

Welch Allyn’s the Lodge will go back before planning board As part of Welch Allyn’s major renovation project on the State Street plant, the manufacturer is also adding additional parking to its Lodge facility and bringing it into compliance with town zoning by legitimizing existing parking lots. “It was just a conference center and has involved more into public assembly,� Graham said. Originally the Lodge was constructed with a special permit as a conference center not to be leased out, so they want to legitimize it, Williams said. There also was additional parking put in that was never approved formally. The ZBA named the planning board for the Lodge to go through this process.

March is the American Dietetic Association’s National Nutrition Month – how are you celebrating it? We received a letter this week from Kimberly Vespi, Nutrition Director for Loretto’s AdvancedMeal Food Services, that shared some tips about making proper nutrition a habit. “Proper nutrition is more important than ever as we age,” Vespi says. “While good nutrition may not turn back the hands of time, it can certainly help you prevent, treat and recover from illness and improve your quality of life in later years. As we age, we may need fewer calories. However, we still need the same nutrients.” Here are those tips: Consume calcium and vitamin D-rich foods. These nutrients help maintain bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. With age, we are less efficient in absorbing calcium from foods and often don’t consume enough foods that contain calcium and vitamin D. Low fat dairy foods as well as fortified juices, cereals and breads are good choices. Stay hydrated! As we age, our thirst mechanism can decrease. Many older adults tend to limit fluid consumption to prevent frequent trips to the restroom. Try keeping a water bottle with you throughout the day to sip on. Fill up on fiber. Fiber can prevent constipation, control hunger and weight and help decrease your risk for heart disease. Fruits and vegetables are always an excellent choice. Whole grain breads, cereals, rice and pasta also provide fiber. Choose lean protein. Maintaining muscle mass is important as we age. Fish, skinless chicken and turkey, nuts and beans are excellent sources of protein. If you feel you may not be getting sufficient amounts of some nutrients, Vespi recommends talking to your doctor about a vitamin/mineral supplement. For those looking to develop a healthier lifestyle, she suggests starting with small, gradual changes. Old habits can be difficult to break, so don’t try and change everything at once,” Vespi says. For a personalized plan to meet your needs, go to mypyramid.gov. To find a registered dietitian in your area, log on to www.eatright.org and select “Find a Registered Dietitian.”

Recognizing greatness
Some bits and pieces easily recognized Others, was I really there? Yeah, I sure remember that It hurts to this very day Oh, how I remember her! She briefly took the hurt away But, inevitably hurt revisits Then leaves and joy returns Some lessons taken solidly to heart Sadly, others never learned I did some good, accomplished a little Helped out when I was able Though at times I dropped the ball, missed the boat Brought precious little to the table I tried! That can be said for certain Failed, but kept on trying I’ve laughed so hard my sides have ached And my whole being has ached from crying Never stolen, always earned my own The only one I cheated at times was my self I’ve made some good choices, mature decisions But have been known to leave good sense upon the shelf The wonders of nature have left me breathless At sunset that never fails But more often than not, the nature of man Has taken the wind out of my sails Oh, how I have loved my kids One love that would not be compromised Yet, that another could truly love me Would be a mystery, a complete surprise! Yes, in the grand scheme of things It’s been a life more charmed than cursed I probably didn’t always do the best I could But I sure as hell could have done worse If ever I happened to touch someone’s life I pray that touch was for good not ill Now at this moment in my life journey I have so few pages left to fill My desire dear friends, is to fill those few With only good, to give my best For only then as I open for the final time Can I peacefully go to my rest Oh, this old scrapbook, it’s cool to look At the million whos, whats, wheres and whens And to realize that if I could but fill it over I would doubtless fill it the same way again!

One of my older brothers, Michael, spent a lot his grammar school years at the the Sisters of St. Joseph’s convent in Spring Lake, NJ. It was a calling of sorts. One called detention. It had something to do with his attention span, or lack there of, for reading, writing and arithmetic. It seems Michael was wired more for adventuring than a small desk job. He’ d rather be at the beach mending a wounded sea gull’ s wing or pulling a bluefish out of the surf with his bare hands. Or, one could often find him down at the railroad tracks studying tressel construction or wandering around the firing range at the National Guard camp gathering statistics in the form of picking up spent shells. My mom never seemed to be alarmed at Michael’s eccentricities. Instead, she admired his individual spirit as well as his freckles. She thanked the police for returning him home safe when he had run away yet again at the age of two and dutifully picked him after his many detentions. During my mother’s prolonged illness it shouldn’t have come as such a surprise that Michael came to her rescue, again and again. Staying surely connected

to her dwindling persona from his home in Arizona’ s desert, he often flew my parents out for extended visits, where he would take time off from work to entertain them in his new homeplace. When my mom could no longer handle traveling, he came home over and over again to help straighten us out. Helping us sell the house, helping us move, helping us do all the paperwork, and helping us dig out of the cobwebs that were clouding our thinking. And most of all helping us cope during her extended illness that had robbed her of many of her sensory powers. Through this I got what my mom saw in Michael throughout those wonder years. His enduring sense of humor, generosity, attentiveness and kindness was such a source of comfort in a very trying time that it was nothing short of wonderful.

Thanks from Dick Pitman On Jan. 15 I was the guest of honor for a retirement celebration given for me by the Skaneateles community at the Sherwood Inn. After 38 years of banking in Skaneateles, I retired Dec. 31, 2010. My family and I enjoyed the evening tremendously. Seeing so many friends, relatives and community members made
for such an enjoyable evening. A special thank you to Anne Bishop and Sue Dove for organizing the event and to Jed Dove who, as master of ceremony, presented a “hilarious roast” on my behalf. Thank you so very much for such a great “send off ” as I begin the next stage of my life. DICK PITMAN
Parking concerns at Krebs
As a Registered Landscape Architect, in practice for forty years, I have dealt with numerous parking lot issues. Granted there will be noise concerns, people walking and talking and vehicle sounds. As far as the aesthetic impact of the lot, with the proper fencing and plantings in place, this will be all but eliminated from the neighboring properties. I think we need to consider the whole pie rather than one or two slices on this issue! SCOTT DRAHOS

Mr. Lemon still wants in Mr. Lemon is doing well, except his disdain of cold and snow. He will approach the sliding door and sort of ask to go out. I open the door about 6 and a half inches so Lemon can stick his nose out. He sniffs to determine the weather condition and the presence of any interesting smells. He usually sprints out the door and is gone for three to 30 minutes. This winter, he just turns his head and flops back onto his bed for another 30 to 50 minute snooze. Sometimes when Sue goes to the door with him, she plants a little nudge with her right leg and foot and Mr. Lemon is out the door before he makes his decision. I have

Along the Lakeshore not been able to perfect this move, so Lemon skips around my foot and is on his sleeping cushion immediately. Mr. Lemon has developed a vivid imagination. He will be sleeping soundly with his eyes closed and start to bark and yip. This brings one awake, wondering if the house is being broken into or is it on fire. It is sort of like the 3 a.m. phone call when you have young adult drivers out and about. FIOS failure We just had a failure of our FIOS Internet at the office. The tech that answered my call asked if anyone had been gardening and might have disturbed the fiber optic cable entering the house. He was in California and I told him it might

Let’s dip into the Mediterranean Last fall, Sue and I went on a 21 day cruise that I only mentioned in passing, so I thought I would write a little bit about the trip now, as it is settled in my mind and it’s a good time to remember how nice the weather was in the Mediterranean. Firstly, this was a relocation cruise, intended to show folks the Mediterranean and to get the ship back to the Caribbean for winter cruises. The ship was the Nieuw Amsterdam, a brand new 2,100passenger ship that started cruising July 1, 2010. The captain was a crusty Englishman by the name of Jonathan Mercer. He lives in Florida and Great Britain, depending on the weather. The ship is decorated in an art deco theme, with lots of brown and big blue

balls for doorknobs. Stainless steel is the featured material for hardware and elevator doors and entrance doors to the decks. Everything worked very well and there were no significant problems. Some electrical work was going on relative to an extensive data system. We joined the ship in Barcelona, after being up for about 24 hours with only a short doze on the 747 from Boston. The program is for the ship to move at night to allow passengers to visit the countries during the day. Each day at a port is an opportunity to go ashore where there are day trips of one sort or another at an extra cost. We went to Florence and Rome on these trips, which I will report on in the future. The ship left Barcelona for Monte Carlo, then on to Livorno (port for Florence) and Civitavecchia (port for Rome) in Italy. We returned westerly toward Spain for two days at sea en
I can’t ignore the great duck action the last week There have been migrant Canada Geese arriving about 8 to 10 p.m. each day. They like the safety of space and are usually 500 or 600 yardds, out in the lake where land-based predators will not mess with them. I usually see them between 6:30 and 8 a.m. They have a conference and vote on the day’s objectives, then off they go for food or to the north. On Saturday, 12 canvas back ducks passed the house going south and then returning to the north. They were diving through the minnow bed on each trip.

What a bluebird day, as my friend Rob always calls the day following the passage of a cold front. The day that ensues is usually a big change from the previous days, which in this area are usually gray and interspersed with some sort of rain and fog or snow. Rob uses these days as an excuse to make a pilgrimage to “The River� and into his boat at Wellesley Island for a bit of cruising.

Schools Mom and daughter awarded NIA Scholarship
Susan Benjamin of East Street in Skaneateles and her daughter Bradley Benjamin Stone were awarded a $1,000 scholarship to attend a week long certification program for NIA. NIA is a class which encompasses dance, yoga, martial arts and principles for healthy living. The NIA center is located in Portland Oregon. There are only a very small number of NIA teachers in the Syracuse area with none being located west of the city. Susan instructs classes at the Mirbeau Inn and Spa and at the Skaneateles YMCA. Her daughter Bradley performs in Broadway shows and acts as an assistant choreographer for the Reprise theater company at UCLA whose artistic director is Jason Alexander (George from Seinfeld fame.) The NIA scholarship is a new one that has not been given in the past. Susan hopes to be able to bring the NIA program to Mirbeau and to the YMCA in order to enhance the healthy lifestyles of members at both locations. Sue recently received a certification in the WILL Power and Grace Program, along with Stacy Palladino and Holly Falso of Skaneateles. Bradley has just completed her BFA degree in Fine Arts with the LEAP program from St. Mary’s College of California.

Immediate past chair of the Christian Brothers Academy, Syracuse, board of trustees Edward Barno was appointed by Brother Dennis Malloy to serve on the Christian Brothers District of Eastern North America Mission Executive Council as an at-large appointment, according to Alan Weyland, executive director for mission and ministry. Barno’s appointment adds to the district’s effort to address the challenges of continuing to strengthen communication between the district and the board of trustees, as well as among the boards themselves. Barno will bring an important perspective of an experienced board chair to the deliberations of the Mission Executive Council for the District of Eastern
North America. Barno served as chair of CBA’s board of trustees from 2007-2010 and has been a board member since the late 1990s. He was instrumental in developing CBA’s current strategic plan. Under his leadership as board chair, the school implemented a comprehensive capital campaign, which raised $11 million. Campaign dollars allowed for increased funding for scholarships and aid, renovation of academic areas, and refurbishment of the Brothers athletic complex with two turfed fields, a softball field and practice areas. A resident of Skaneateles, Barno is an independent investment management professional and has an extensive background in various indus-
tries. A former CPA, he is the founder of Salt City Energy, LLC, and Senior Select, LLC. Barno and his wife, Sharon, have two children who graduated from Christian Brothers Academy, Andrew ‘00 and Meagan ‘02. “Christian Brothers Academy congratulates Ed Barno on this prestigious appointment,” said Brother Joseph Jozwiak, FSC Principal, “Ed has long been a supporter of CBA and his leadership has helped to strengthen our school, our students and our Lasallian mission. Certainly, his experience will translate well to his position with the Mission Executive Council, and he is certain to be a great asset to the district.”

Natures Chemistry mills the seed to break the husk: this creates flour that releases a gel in the body’s system that slows down digestion. “It gets to the small intestine in better physical shape,” said chemist Barbara Norris, who is working as Greacen’s executive assistant. “That is where you absorb your nutrients.”
People talk about heart health and the air they breathe and they forget about the digestive tract. “Chia is basically a chimney sweep for your colon,” Greacen said “Kids are picky eaters,” Norris said, but move over cod liver oil. As a mom, Norris said she can easily add chia to her kids’ diets. It’s great tossed into salads, sprinkled over a meal or mixed into juice.
She said the western diet is out of balance because we eat a lot of omega 6, which are fats that can be detrimental to our health. “We have gone from eating from the farm to eating processed food,” Norris said. They don’t process chia in Mottville. Instead it is milled to make it faster to digest. Chia is also a rich
source of magnesium, boron, iron, calcium and amino acids. The amino acids make it a complete protein. Go to runningfood.com to learn more about its nutritional value.

Natures Chemistry is located just past the southern entrance to the Charlie Major Nature Trail in Mottville, in the former Miller Ceramics Building. CEO Matthew “Matt” Greacen and 13 employees are milling, marketing and distributing a raw, whole, super food. We saw it first at the Skaneateles Race Weekend this past Labor Day as “Running Food.” “It may be the oldest brand on earth,” Greacen said. The Aztecs called it “chia,” which meant running food. They would run for days with only these seeds for fuel, as it nourishes as well as keeps one hydrated. Chia is a seed from a species of mint named salvia hispanica L. But it’s not just for runners, or even athletes. The reason chia is so powerful is that it’s loaded with Omega 3. Omega 3 has to be ingested. Think flax seed, salmon and sardines, only this seed is tasteless. It really is. And unlike most foods rich in Omega 3, chia does not require refrigeration and has a two year shelf life. It is also gluten free and high in fiber, which means it’s great for the digestive tract, not only moving food through, but also aiding in the absorption of

plants depends upon your internal environment. If you live near dusty roads, or where there’s a lot of wind, you might have more airborne particles than a quieter home. Since most houseplants benefit from the increased humidity of a shower you usually can’t go wrong washing the leaves under running water every month. Very small plants that might be hurt by running water or even a show plant can be cleaned by holding the plant firmly at soil level, tipping it upside down and gently dipping the plant in a bucket of lukewarm water. You can swish the plant around in the water for a moment or two then carefully tip it back upright to drain. To keep the soil in the pot when it’s tipped upside down, it’s best to water the plant, as you normally would, just before tipping it
Lakeshore different species mixed in. Last week, there was a bit of skim ice that had established itself. We had open water, as my ice agitator had kept a large pool around the dock and boat hoists open. We spotted a mammal swimming along the edge of the skim ice. We are sure that it was not a muskrat and I think it was an otter. I should have called Charlie Major,
into the bucket of water. For plants that are too large to move, you can simply wipe the leaves off with a damp cloth. Plants with sticky or fuzzy leaves probably shouldn’t be exposed to a lot of water. So you may want to gently blow off the leaves of plants that don’t like surface water on their leaves, such as African Violets. While you’re showering your houseplants, it’s a good time to trim off any dead or broken leaves and stems. Remove any spent flower buds. Now that the plants are clean you can clean the pot. Avoid soaps or any chemical cleaners because they can seep into the soil or be absorbed into the pot itself. To remove mold or stains try a very weak solution of one part chlorine bleach, to 20 parts of water. Always rinse the pots well after cleaning. Bathing your houseplants will clean their pores, increase photosynthesis, and add much needed moisture to your winter air and dare say, bathe you both in good health.

It’s March and the air indoors is stuffy and stale, there seems to be dust everywhere. Indoors is not outdoors and it’s time for a bath. Rodney Dangerfield said he hated baths, because he could tell his parents hated him when his bath toys were a toaster and a radio. On the other hand, the renowned Roman baths made bathing an event. Romans were famous for their public baths, some with separate hot and cold rooms, luxuries such as food, wine and even personal trainers. But it’s time to bathe your plants. Dust and dirt that accumulates on plant leaves can block sunlight and disrupt photosynthesis. Dusty leaves also have a harder time transpiring or emitting oxygen. Clean plants are not only nicer to look at, they’re healthier. The easiest way to wash a plant is under a shower or in the kitchen sink with a hose. Use a gentle flow of lukewarm water. Go lightly so you don’t break leaves or stems and be careful you don’t wash out the soil around the roots. How often you wash your

In the wake of Japan’s nuclear horror, looking back at another nuclear accident It was just about 32 years ago this month that the U.S. faced the most significant nuclear accident in the nation’s nuclear power history – Three Mile Island. I was there. So, it’s with a sense of fear and awe that I watch Japan’s nuclear horror unfold in the wake of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that peeled open at least two of the country’s nuclear power plants and prompted the evacuation of thousands. March 28, 1979, brought a bright, sunny and unseasonably warm day to Harrisburg, Pa., the state capital where I worked as the bureau chief for a metropolitan newspaper. It was a slow time in the legislative calendar and most of its members were back in their districts. The newsroom was on the second floor of the Capitol at the rear of the rotunda. I was prepared for a lazy day of phone calls and maybe a walk around the grounds before calling it day. As usual, I stopped by the Associated Press desk to see if what was making news overnight.
Gary Catt Notebook
The on-duty reporter shrugged that there wasn’t much news, but something might be going on at the power plant down the (Susquehanna) river. He heard from a radio reporter who heard from someone else that the state police had been called to Three Mile Island. The exchange raised my curiosity. There wasn’t much going on. It was warm, sunny and open sunroof type weather. I asked my colleague from another newspaper if he wanted to take a ride. The sweep of subsequent events gobbled the next two years of my professional life. Some 30 minutes later I was at the entrance gate to TMI. The gatekeeper and a single trooper manned the checkpoint outside the fenced causeway to the plant. We were, of course, barred entry and told to contact the plant owner, Metropolitan Edison if we had any questions. There

The presence of the trooper, however, was a tip-off that news was about to be made. I drove to the TMI Welcome Center a short distance away and called my office, leaving word for someone to call Metropolitan Edison and
get the story. I figured I was done with it‌ Retracing the route took me past the TMI gate again. Carloads of people were being driven off the island. It looked pretty much like an evacuation to me. I parked the car out of the troopers’ vision and my colleague and I and scooted down a bank from
which we could observe the island. With an almost whispered, kind of whooshing sound a wisp of white rose skyward from what we were to learn was the containment building. The steam contained radiation spewed into the containment by a runaway nuclear reactor. There
was an effort underway to relieve built-up pressure in the structure to prevent an explosion, I learned later. I headed for the Welcome Center pay phone, again. This was awfully wrong and I needed to get outside help to figure out what was going on. I wasn’t the only newsSee Catt, page 20

Random Thoughts: A championship weekend in Utica By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com From a warm and windy Friday to a Sunday blanketed by relentless snow, they got in 12 basketball games at Utica Memorial Auditorium and handed out 12 Section III championships. And each of the 12 contests provided a specific memory, something that lingers long after the awards are handed out and fates in the state playoffs are determined. To start on Friday‌.Kirsten Dodge comes of age. Raw at the start of the season, the 6-4 Fabius-Pompey sophomore was the main reason the undefeated Falcons stayed that way. With Mohawk bent on stopping Stevie Ray in the C-2 final, Dodge kept getting open inside, kept receving the ball – and kept converting, to the tune of 30 points. And F-P had a first-ever girls hoops title to celebrate. Then there was Watertown IHC’s first quarter against Cooperstown. So what if the Redskins were the top seed. The Cavaliers, led by Adrianna Spicer, spent those eight minutes putting on a clinic of full-court chaos, pressure leading to turnovers leading to fast breaks leading to baskets. In all, 24 points in a row, and IHC had the Class C-1 title firmly secured. Saturday saw two city upstarts have their day, starting with Syracuse Academy of Science over Onondaga in the C-2 final. It was impressive enough that the Atoms could prevail while playing far from its (very fast-paced) comfort zone. But SAS also made the plays in the clutch – Kaleel Johnson’s steal and lay-up to get the lead, and Dakeem McLain’s two clutch free throws with 5.7 seconds left. IT went from nothing (4-14 a year ago) to the C-1 championship on Jahcin Ingram’s wings. Merely good until late this season, he became the Eagles’ undisputed
leader, and did just about everything in the final, from 23 points to eight rebounds and eight steals. Both SAS and IT played its best in the stretch, just when a newcomer ought to fold, which was quite impressive. On the other hand, JamesvilleDeWitt is very used to this. Still, the toughest thing to do is what everyone expects, and when Cortland, in the Class A final, threatened to derail the Red Rams again, DaJuan Coleman got a bit assertive. Try 22 second-half points, everything from dunks that nearly brought the rim down to a pair of 3-pointers. So that makes four in a row. No one delivered more than Westhill’s Kevin McAvoy in the Class B final – which figures, since his ace pitching got the baseball Warriors a state title nine months ago. Here, he fired up 34 points to put a stunning end to the Skaneateles dream season. Great athletes seem to deliver in the clutch, no matter what the sport in question. In the third epochal Class AA final in as many years, the hero was‌Terrell Nelson? He never even played at Henninger until his senior year, yet somehow he put up 19 points in this overtime classic and the Black Knights, overcoming the loud home crowd and three players fouling out, broke Utica Proctor’s hearts. Of course, the Raiders’ woes at the foul line contributed, too. Like J-D, New York Mills only has a state championship in mind and a big man in the middle, Matt Welch, to take them there. The Class D final presented itself as a small bump, but Lyme made the Marauders work for its latest crown. It took Welch’s 24 points and 11 rebounds to get Mills home for its 43rd win in 44 games. Not that anyone is counting. Move to Sunday, and what stick out most, out of all the girls finals played, was Hamilton’s Katie Weeks staying cool in the most heated of situations. Faced with three free
throws in the waning seconds of regulation in the Class D final, and needing to make all of them to tie Sackets Harbor, Weeks went swish, swish, swish – none of them even touched rim. The Emerald Knights then fended off the Patriots in overtime for back-to-back sectional championships. Nothing as dramatic took place in the other finals, but there was still a lot to praise, starting with Cazenovia’s dual sports threats. Like Kevin McAvoy on the boys side, Ellen Burr and Raeanne Clabeaux are state champions (from field hockey), love the big stage and relish big-time pressure. So was it any surprise that it was Burr and Clabeaux fueling the second-half comeback that the Lakers used to subdue Utica-Notre Dame in the Class B final? Even less surprising was seeing Whitesboro complete its seasonlong Class A blitz over rival New Hartford. In each aspect of the game, the Warriors delivered, whether it was smothering defense (just nine first-half points allowed) or a diverse attack which mixes well the size of Allie Cady and Francesca Cotrupe with the skill of Jennifer Deuel. No wonder a huge Whitesboro contingent turned out for the coronation. Finally, two stars glowed in the Class AA final. Pitt-bound Bri Kiesel did everything she could for Utica Proctor, causing defensive havoc and lighting up the board for 23 points. Alas, Cicero-North Syracuse had too much, and it doesn’t hurt to have UConn-bound Breanna Stewart turn into a point guard to help the Northstars get away in the second half. And Stewart still had the usual 12 boards and nine blocks. True, it’s been a frightful winter, and the trip home from Utica Sunday night – an hour and a half through a 50-mile snow tunnel – was quite fitting. Still, seeing all that great basketball, and the champs it produced, was worth the trouble.
A week with a lot of threes
On Saturday, March 5, at 0900, three riflemen met at our range to shoot our regular weekly high power match. The temperature was 38 degrees, there was a stout south-west wind and it rained. Between the wind and rain, some of the target patches were taken off, making scoring difficult. The match was over at 1030. We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match, as fired at the national matches. Paul Straka won the match with his ’03-A3 by hitting 88+92-1X+70=250-1X and we all congratulate him. Chuck Chernoff fired his ’03-A3 and hit 87+881X+71=246-1X. I fired my ’03-A3 and hit 90+911X+58=239-1X. We all went to the fine Willow Glen CafÊ for beverages after the match. Brittany poured and Chernoff paid. We thank them both. On Sunday, March 6, about 50 trap shooters, including three ladies, three male juniors and three male subjuniors, competed in the last shoot of the 10 week winter league. The shoot-off is all that is left, and that will be fired on Sunday, March 13. The weather was not nice. It snowed. Lots. The temperature was about 30 degrees and the wind was blustery from the north. Urb Womer and Justin Slater, a junior, had 24 hits. Dennis Billington hit 23. The ladies were led by Leslie Slater with 18. Nikki Hai hit 11 and Allison Radcliffe hit 8. The juniors were led by Slater. Colton O’Neil hit 19 and Brandon Murray got 8. The sub-juniors were led by Trevor Parker with 21. Sam Rice hit 10 and Brenden Radcliffe got 4. Congratulations to you all. On Tuesday night, March 8, seven hand gunners met at our range at 1900 and fired the match of the 25 match winter league. There were no center fire shooters. Chuck Chernoff won the match with a rim fire score of 264-4X’s. He shot again and hit 259-1X. Lynn Lepak was third with 244-1X. Mike Curtis led the two hand rim fire shooters with 265-2X’s. Stuart Cook hit 213 and I hit 129. Congratulations to the high scorers. Shoot safely.

For the past two Augusts, the little city at the southend of Skaneateles Lake, Cortland, becomes home to the New York Jets training camp. This has been a boom for businesses especially in this difficult economy. The Jets training camp brought 41,000 visitors and $6 million into Cortland last year. That’s up 36 percent over 2009. “In these times, everybody is struggling, to have that kind of money coming into the town, it can only help. Even if it’s a small business, that’s not directly affected by the extra people coming into town, I’m sure that trickles down, and everybody benefits,� said Eric Cole, the manager at Cortland’s Doug’s Fish Fry. Now that the NFL has imposed a lockout, businesses are concerned what effect it could have on Cortland. “Cortland and all the people that get to enjoy the camp, I think they would lose out, and of course, the organization would lose out on that extra time to prepare. So hopefully they come to a deal soon,� said Cole. The team signed a three year contract with SUNY Cortland last year so businesses were expecting steady income this summer. While the situation doesn’t look good at present, they say there’s still hope things will be cleared up in time for camp. “I’m sure there’s a lot of disagreement on how to solve it, but I think in the end, everybody loses if they don’t come to an agreement. So I think they will,� said Cole. For now it’s the waiting game.

‘The scariest of killers’
Jenni-Lyn’s parents and sister address the court as Pieper is sentenced for murder “Jenni-Lyn’s friends and her friendships in general were always a problem for Pieper,” the father said in his statement to the court. “He didn’t want to share Jenni-Lyn’s time and feelings with anyone [because] this threatened his greedy, cowardly needs.” And the lies piled up, one upon another, David Watson said. “Even while claiming to want Jenni-Lyn back [after they’d broken up], he is out carousing with other females.” On the other hand, his daughter “never said a bad word about Pieper,” her father said. “Jenni-Lyn always looked for the best in people,” and Pieper “took full advantage” of her kind and forgiving nature. “Instead of learning from Jenni-Lyn, Pieper felt threatened by her because she had goals, plans and visions of how she wanted her life to be…This evil bastard Pieper stepped on, laughed at and trashed all the goodness, happiness and potential of Jenni-Lyn,” her father told those listening in the packed courtroom. District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick also pointed to Pieper’s pattern of deception. After Jenni-Lyn went missing, the 21year-old Pieper repeatedly lied to his family, his lawyer, his friends and the police, Fitzpatrick said. Before Aloi sentenced him to 23 years to life in state prison, the defendant addressed the court as he stood next to his attorney, Scott Brenneck. In a strong voice, Pieper admitted his guilt, expressed regret and said, “There’s not enough time in this world to fix what I have done.”
By Russ Tarby Jenni-Lyn Watson’s parents characterized her murderer, Stephen M. Pieper, as a greedy, self-centered young man who ingratiated himself into their family with lies and false promises. “He lied about the ring he gave her,” said Jenni-Lyn’s father, David Watson. “He lied twice about having cancer. He lied about having a concussion...He lied about why he got fired from Wal-Mart…He lied about everything. He can’t be trusted.” Jenni-Lyn Watson, a 20-year-old dance student at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa., was strangled to death Nov. 19 while spending Thanksgiving break at her parents’ home in Clay. Pieper, her former boyfriend, admitted he killed her and then drove her body to Clay Park Central where it lay hidden for eight days before being discovered by searchers from the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Office. On March 8, Watson’s parents and younger sister spoke at a hearing at the Onondaga County Criminal Courthouse in downtown Syracuse prior to Pieper’s sentencing by Judge Anthony Aloi. Directly addressing Pieper, who stood shackled 14 feet to her left in Aloi’s courtroom, Jackie Watson, Jenni-Lyn’s mother, said, “Steve, you are the scariest of killers.” She recalled inviting him to family gatherings, sharing meals, watching TV, playing games and exchanging gifts for a year-and-a-half while he dated Jenni-Lyn before she headed off to college. David Watson expanded on that theme. “He’s the scariest killer because of the mask he would wear in our presence to not allow us to see his true self,” the father said at a post-sentencing press conference. “There were times it was laughable, but we never thought he’d go to this ultimate act.”
Stephen M. Pieper Lauren Watson, Jenni-Lyn’s 16-year-old sister, labeled Pieper as “a pathetic excuse of a man.” Selfish jealousy was Pieper’s motive for murder, David Watson said.

WOYSA
Western Onondaga Youth Soccer Association My name is Roger Garcia and I am the president of WOYSA. I am making an appeal to the WOYSA community at large for volunteers to step up and take on the responsibility of running the day-to-day operations of WOYSA. I have announced my retirement to the Board of Directors. In addition I must also announce that the following positions will also be vacant very soon, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar, Web Site Coordinator, Field and Resource Coordinator, Micro Soccer Division Director, U10 and U12 Boys Division Directors. This is very serious and without mincing words, if members from the WOYSA community do not step up to fill this void, we will be forced to make decisions that may include dissolving the league. That of course is a last resort but be clear; the league cannot effectively run without more help from the community. Most of the volunteers stepping down have been volunteering for 10 years or more with several over 15 years of community service. It is time for others to step-up. As the second most senior member I will agree to remain on the board as an advisor for a period of two years to help guide and train any new members who volunteer. With the current economic times it seems modified sports programs may suffer. WOYSA is the perfect vehicle to fill that void. However this will create the need for a U14 boys and girls Division Directors. This is something we want to do, but it requires two additional committed volunteers. This has been a very rewarding experience and all who serve will tell you the same. If anyone wishes to enquire please e-mail me at: rogerg@woysa.org Roger Garcia

Merle Builders combines Seneca Federal: Not an quality, experience average mortgage originator By Erin Wisneski
With 35 years in the home building and renovation business, Scott Merle, owner of Merle Builders, Inc. has the experience homeowners deserve whether looking for their first home or an upgrade that better fits the buyer’s lifestyle. Merle Builders offers clients custom-built homes, as well as moderately priced townhomes and patio homes. In addition to new construction, Merle Builders also has extensive experience in remodeling and designing aesthetic additions to existing homes. Despite a slow building climate due to the economy, Scott thinks people’s confidence in the economy will rise this spring and 2011 will prove fruitful. “There seems to be a lot of people who have been ‘on the fence’ waiting for the economy to recoup and are now ready to build this year,” Scott said. He added that his decades of experience combined with the quality of his work give his clients the advantage. “Quality and longevity position me to compete with my fellow homebuilders and definitely with the ‘one-truck operators,’ whose numbers have multiplied during the recession,” he said. One-man operation Previously partnered with his brother, Ron, Scott is now the sole operator of
Scott Merle, owner of Merle Builders. Merle Builders, a business that the brothers’ father, Harold T. Merle began in 1962 with “$1,000 in his pocket.” In 2009 and 2010, Merle Builders saw a decrease in business due to the economy, which resulted in a company downsize. In addition to eliminating several employees, the brothers decided that only one of them was needed to keep the company going. “We needed to be leaner and more competitive in the marketplace,” Scott said. “Ron was just about at full retirement age and I am 13 years younger. So, naturally, we decided that I would continue the ‘Merle Legacy.’” That legacy includes the following ongoing projects: a 2,700-square-foot model home in Timber Banks located on the golf course; two- and three-bedroom Townhomes in Clay
starting at $132,900; Patio homes in Radisson beginning in late spring, early summer; custom one- to two-acre lots remaining in Melia Park off Route 370; and custom lots at Whisper Ridge in Radisson. With so many projects in the works, Scott is embracing the future of the company as it approaches its 50th year in business. “I will do my best to insure the legacy passed down to me and take Merle Builders into the next new and technologically exciting decade,” he said. Merle Builders, Inc. is located at 2 Canton St. in Baldwinsville. The office is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; potential and existing clients can call the office at 635-6917 or contact Scott at 952-6498. Merle Builders will also be at the Home and Garden Show, March 17-20 at the State Fairgrounds.
“Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, president-CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.” Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. “We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We

Seneca Federal Vice President – Lending, Tammy Purcell, left, and Assistant Vice President – Lending, Rebecca Smith. also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent. “A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the underwriting process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are ver y thankful when a customer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and before the loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with experienced loan underwriters who assist you in your mortgage loan application process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan. The lending team is carrying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,”
said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.” The mor tgage ser vicing is always retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan. One example of a loan that is often tailor-made to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made loan includes a mortgage where a customer is purchasing a house in which projected renovations are included. The purchase and renovation costs are wrapped into one mortgage loan. Other features which add to Seneca’s app eal as a mor tgage lender include no flood certification fees and no underwriting fees. “This culture of personalized service was instilled into us by our predecessors, so that Seneca Federal’s continued success is guaranteed for decades to come,” she said. “We pride ourselves on providing the best possible products with the lowest possible lending rates. As a community bank, it is our job to increase the wealth of our members through low lending rates and high savings rates, given the state of the economy at any given time,” according to Russo.

Simple spring cleaning Ten cheap, easy tips for the kitchen
You don’t even need to leave the house for supplies with these inexpensive spring cleaning tips. Just open your cabinet, make these homemade creations and clean beyond your counter tops and cupboards. Add these suggestions to your spring cleaning to-do list to eliminate odors, remove stains and get rid of food buildup in the kitchen. “Don’t neglect your kitchen appliances during spring cleaning,â€? said Doug Rogers, president of Mr. Appliance Corp. “Your appliances never get a day off. They take the most abuse, yet probably get the least attention. Keep them clean to help them last longer and run more efficiently.â€? Give spring cleaning a new meaning with these 10 unique and often forgotten tips from Mr. ApplianceÂŽ and Mr. RooterÂŽ Plumbing: 1. To eliminate odors, pour vanilla extract into a bowl with a paper towel and wipe down the refrigerator walls. 2. Soak refrigerator removable parts in the sink with warm, soapy water to remove stains from food spills. 3. To remove food residue, run an empty dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar. 4. Take out oven racks and wash them by hand with warm soap and water to remove caked on food. 5. To eliminate odors, place handful of ice cubes and citrus peels in garbage disposal, turn on cold water and then the disposal for 15-30 seconds. After turning off disposal continue to rinse with hot water for 15 more seconds. 6. Wipe interior microwave surfaces with a mixture of two tablespoons baking soda and one quart water to remove food stains. 7. Use a sponge with a mixture of ½ cup bleach, Âź cup baking soda and four cups warm water to avoid yellowing of white appliances. Let it set for 10 minutes before rinsing and drying. 8. To remove grease buildup from garbage disposal, turn on hot water, then disposal. Squeeze tablespoon of dishwashing liquid in disposal, and run hot water for 15-30 seconds. Turn off disposal and let hot water run until suds are gone. 9. Heat a microwave-safe bowl of vanilla extract for three minutes and use it to wipe surfaces for stubborn residue and stains in the microwave. 10. Clean condenser coils located behind the fridge with a brush or hand-held vacuum to remove dirt, dust and pet hair. “The best way to ensure an odor-free and grease-free kitchen sink is to prevent the smell and buildup before it begins,â€? said Mary Kennedy Thompson, president of Mr. Rooter Corporation. “A good dose of spring cleaning can clear the air, keeping your garbage disposal in good working condition.â€? By following these tips from Mr. Appliance and Mr. Rooter Plumbing, kitchen appliances and plumbing fixtures will continue to sparkle and smell fresh for many springs to come. For more information on Mr. Rooter or to find the location nearest you, visit mrrooter.com or mrrooter.ca. Mr. Appliance’s website is mrappliance.com.
By Waded Gonzalez-Candelaria, public health educator Are you thinking about fixing up the old homestead? Are you planning on doing the project on your own or hiring someone to do it for you? Was your home built before 1978? If it was, it may contain lead paint. When lead paint is disturbed during remodeling, dangerous lead dust is created. Young children and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from exposure to lead dust, but anyone can become lead poisoned. The Onondaga County Health Department Lead Poisoning Control Program would like you to consider the following questions before you start your project: Was the house built before 1978? Will you be disturbing the paint? Have you had the paint tested to see if it is lead paint? What safety precautions will you or your contractor/handyman take to protect yourself and your children from exposure to hazardous lead dust? The most impor-
tant thing to consider when remodeling is controlling the lead dust. You can do this by following these tips: Work smart To keep paint chips and dust contained, work in one area at a time; enclose the work area using heavy plastic (6 mil); Keep pregnant women and children out of the work area; Protect yourself by washing your hands and eating or drinking outside the work area; Wear a protective mask to prevent inhaling lead dust. Work wet Avoid creating lead dust by using a spray bottle to wet an area to be sanded or scraped Work clean Clean up daily. Don’t allow anyone into the work area until the daily cleanup is complete Learn more about working safely with lead paint. To sign up for a free one-day Lead Safe Work Practices training, call the Lead Poisoning Control Program at 435-3271.

Chia in Phoenix, NY) got the US rights for the seed and had invested his life savings sending three truckloads of the product and packaging material to a plant in Canada. When it got there the plant had been shut down and he had nowhere to go. Knowing Greacen as a problem solver in the industry he called him and said, “You gotta help me.” Matt told him to send it and he would hold it in his garage. He didn’t expect it to be three tractor trailer truckloads. He had chia everywhere - eventually warehousing it in a building in Syracuse, and milling it in North Carolina, which burned up $500,000 doing it wrong. That initial run totaled up to $1.2 million in sales. So, Greacen decided to take on the milling himself; but where? Mandana connection Matt and his wife Kim make their home out in the hills behind Mandana. Everyone in Mandana knows Bobby DeWitt, who owns Lakeside Auto and Marine. It’s the local garage, where locals also gather to talk. DeWitt, a driving and diving enthusiast, introduced Greacen to a fellow diver, John Menapace, who also happened to own a former manufacturing facility that backs up onto the creek on Mill Road in Mottville. Greacen started with a
From page 7 room and then two and now is renting most of the 20,000 square foot or most of the facility. In 2010 Natures Chemistry brought in $3.5 million in sales. Greacen has reinvested the profits into the Mottville plant, which is vegan, raw food, Kosher and allergy- free. “It’s been a dog fight, struggling to build it without debt.” Greacen said, “We have no debt, fought for every millimeter of success we have today. And we have a shot at becoming a monster here.” He is thinking they will double in size in the next 12 months, hiring another dozen employees. And Greacen wants his facility to eventually run totally on green power. He would like to harness the power of the creek as was done in the 19th century and is seriously looking into the mechanics to make that happen. Right now he is also experimenting with a Perendev Motor. This is a magnetic wheel that wouldn’t require fossil fuels or sun or water. He’s the kind of guy that is preparing for “peak oil” to happen, rather than wondering if it will. “If peak oil happens, I’m already preparing for this place to run on its own,” he said. A farmer at heart Matt is one of Louise and John Greacen’s eight chil-
dren from Cazenovia. He graduated in ‘84. His family had a horse farm. He said one day his dad came in and saw him eating a Twinkie and watching TV. “He ripped it from my hand,” Matt said took me down to Joe Ryan’s Farm where he was milking 125 cows. I was this chubby little kid and that farm transformed me.” Chia transformation Chia is grown 10 degrees north and south of the equator and is a crop most often associated with Mexico. But Natures Chemistry purchases its seeds from a consortium of farmers in Bolivia, where the farming practices are more desirable. Yes, Greacen’s seeds are related to the seeds that grow on the notorious Chia Pets. But Greacen’s seeds are not playthings, instead these are nutritional powerhouses. Norris said the only complaint she has heard since coming to work at Natures Chemistry is customers not receiving the product fast enough through the mail. Chia is sold locally at Valentine’s Pizza and Green Mountain Coffee and also at Green Planet in Camillus and at independent health food stores nationally.

Catt man on the case, it turned out. Ten minutes later, the TMI juggernaut was on. A clog of TV vans and multiples of other reporters, camera people, sound technicians and the like converged on the site. Within hours it became clear that no one in authority had a grip on what was going on inside the plant. Industry officials moved from a public position of “no problem” to a minor problem that prompted a shutdown. No one believed the officials including the Republican governor of the state, Dick Thornburgh. He sought, and received, help from President Jimmy Carter. Those living around the area were put on notice that an evacuation might be necessary; people living nearby, especially pregnant women were told to stay indoors. By the third day of misinformation and hysterical reports, an estimated one-quarter of the areas 950,000 residents packed up what they could transport, withdew their savings from banks and fled the area.
From page 9 Rumors and rumors of rumors reverberated through the hundreds of news people who poured into the area, which prompted network TV types to be evacuated by helicopter because of fears the plant was about to explode. The foot soldiers, such as myself, slogged it out daily working 18 to 20 hours a day churning out minute-tominute coverage for our publications. Some slept in their cars. I took refuge at a friend’s apartment. On April 1, Roman Catholic priests granted general absolution during Sunday Mass. It was a rite usually restricted to war or other circumstances when it might be impossible for people to make confessions to priests. Area hospitals announced they would accept only emergency admissions, to clear beds in the event an evacuation is required. Three days later, Thornburgh went on TV and announced the crisis was over. An uneasy calm settled

in quickly and the real questioning started into what happened. The problem, it turned out was a faulty valve which triggered misleading readings and resulted in a partial meltdown of the nuclear core. It would not be until July, 1982 when the true danger of the crisis would be revealed. That’s when the site became cool enough for a remote camera to be dipped into the nuclear core. The camera showed a full five feet of the fuel rods had burned. Roger Mattson, NRC Senior Engineer at the time, said of the accident, “We had a meltdown at Three Mile Island… Fifty percent of the core was destroyed or molten and something on the order of 20 tons of uranium found its way, by flowing in a molten state, to the bottom head of the pressure vessel. That’s a core melt-down. No question about it.” By that time, I was working in another job, and gratefully another state.

4th annual Chili Cook-off raises $1000+ for Food Pantry By Dwayne Houghton He did it again. Dan Short, ‘Shorty’ took 1st prize at the 4th Annual Charity Chili Cook-Off. Again. This year’s event was organized by local Adam Cottrill of Skaneateles and held at the Cedar House Bowling Center. “I’m a familiar face in town, business owners and merchants know me and are extremely generous donating gift cards and certificates we use for raffle prizes,” says Cottrill. “100% of the proceeds go directly to the Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantry. We raised over $1000 this year. “
In 2007, the first cookoff was held at Morris’s Grill and Shorty’s chili recipe won to honors. Applauded by the crowd, Shorty went home with his prize, a new crock pot. The next year, he won again, although along with cheers and new crock pot, there was a little good-natured whispering. Something about a ‘fixed contest’ maybe? Short donated the prize pot to the Food Pantry. Announcing he would always support the cause, he won’t enter the 3rd contest. Maybe somebody else should win, Short halfjoked and skipped the next chili competition. This year he brought his
chili back and reclaimed his ‘Best Tasting Chili’ title for the third time. All in fun, the whispering turned to shouts of, well, disagreement. “It’s about the Food Pantry of course,” smiles Short. “I love to stir up a good pot of chili as well as stir up a crowd.” Along with all the funds raised, Shorty naturally donated the trophy crock pot to the food pantry. “When gas prices go up, food costs always follow, hitting organizations like the Food Pantry hard,” adds Cottrill. “You can always count on the good people of this town to help.”
A Report from Station 54:
February kept up the fast pace By: Dan Evans This just in, the annual Skaneateles Fire Department Labor Day Celebration will be held once again this year. After much debate, the members of the department have decided to host their annual end of summer celebration Labor Day weekend, Saturday Sept. 3 and Sunday Sept.4. To help offset the costs associated with running this event, the SFD is looking for individuals or businesses interested in supporting the weekend’s events. If you or your business is able to support our efforts through a donation of time, money, goods or services, please send an email to sfdparade@hotmail.com. During the course of February, the dedicated members of the Skaneateles Fire Department responded to 32 emergency alarms with members spending 427 personnel hours on these alarms. In an effort to provide the most accurate information regarding our emergency responses, a more detailed breakdown of monthly SFD responses is located below:
February 2011 stats:
Fire: 19 Rescue: 6 EMS: 4 (SFD responds when SAVES is on another call) Water Rescue: 0 Mutual Aid: 3 (SFD responds to another fire district) Total # of calls for February: 32 Total personnel hours for February: 427
2011 stats:
Total # of calls for 2011: 68 Total Personnel Hours for 2011: 723
Please note that the dedicated members of the SFD have responded to an additional 22 alarms this year in comparison to last year’s responses during the same time frame. The officers and members of the department would like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest member, Joseph Pratt to the Skaneateles Fire Department. Joe joins the SFD’s ranks after transferring from the Borodino Fire Department. Firefighter Pratt is also actively involved with SAVES Ambulance. Finally, tickets for this year’s “Big Money” drawing are available from any firefighter or online at www.skanvfd.com. $100 monthly drawings began this month, with the following numbers being selected: 0113, 0223 and 0849. Congratulations to March’s winners and the monthly drawings will continue until the final “Big Money” drawing to be held on Sunday Sept. 4 at the Skaneateles Fire Department’s annual Labor Day Celebration. If you have any questions regarding the “Big Money” raffle, email sfdbigmoney@yahoo.com. Thank you for your continued support of our efforts. The Skaneateles Fire Department… Serving the Skaneateles Community with Pride, Commitment and Dedication since 1833.

Tim Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of the Bestâ&#x20AC;? brings back popular characters, Josh, Jaden and Benji for his third book of the Baseball Great Series. The book begins with Josh still flying high from his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament win at Cooperstown. But his parents start talking about a divorce and now his dad is challenging him to play the best of the best at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Josh out of t he w ay ? T w o things are sure: H i s fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s n e w girlfriend, Diane, is looking to change things, and Josh is determined to get her and her terrible son out of his life. With the help of Benji and Jaden, Josh races to get the facts that can keep his family togetherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever harder to concentrate on the game and make the winning plays that will lead his team to victory. In his compelling style, Tim Green delivers great sports action and moreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a fast-paced adventure about friendship, the power of be-
coming a team, and finding a way to get what you need when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have what you want. Tim Green played Little League baseball for many years before specializing in football in order to become an NFL player. But his love for baseball lived on, inspiring him to coach his own sonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams. After graduating as co-valedictorian from Syracuse University, he was a first-round NFL draft pick and played as a star defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons. He earned his law degree with honors and has worked as an NFL analyst for FOX Sports and an NFL commentator for National Public Radio. Always an avid reader, he became the New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Side of the
Game and a dozen suspense novels, including Above the Law and False Convictions. Tim Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting books for young readers include the New York Times bestselling Baseball Great and Rivals, also starring Josh, Jaden, and Benji. His Football Genius novels include Football Hero, starring Ty Lewis, and Football Champ and The Big Time, starring Troy White. Note: Customers who pre-order Tim Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best of the Bestâ&#x20AC;? will receive 20 percent off of the price of the book and will be guaranteed seating at the booksigning on Saturday, April 9.

The view from inside the sowplowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cab reveals an invisble Skaneateles road.
Brought to you by: Eagle Newspapers
Wellington, part of a five-man crew, is pounding down Fuller/ Franklin Road pushing heavy snow. The huge steel plow and wing take up two-thirds of the road. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high wind making visibility poor and a car is coming at him. He shifts gears, pulls the wing and raises the plow all at once. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one effortless, instinctive move, like an elephant doing ballet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, on coming traffic, raise the gear,â&#x20AC;? he explains.

Asked the obvious question, Wellington is almost apologetic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, we really do feel bad when we fill in a driveway thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been plowed out. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plow drivers are very property conscientious and most of the residents are courteous and share the road.â&#x20AC;? There are four road-snow removal teams responsible for the Skaneateles area. The town, village, county and state, each with its own designated routes, work indepen-
dently yet together and clear the record snow so we can get where we have to go. The seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first measurable snow fell on Nov. 19, almost 33 days before the first day of winter, and resulted in the fourth snowiest winter for this area. The first day of spring is this Sunday March 20, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put away the shovels just yet.

Consolidation still an option Doerr said consolidation is not off the table for good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not out of the picture,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is coming and they have to be prepared for it.â&#x20AC;? The village board did a consolidation study two years ago that found various fiscal advantages in pooling the two departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources. Doerr said it was also clear that there were times when more Elbridge firefighters were be available for certain fires than Jordan firefighters, and vice versa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, it gives you the chance of both buildings responding to a particular need, depending on what the need is,â&#x20AC;? he said. Doerr said a strengthened Elbridge VFD will allow for an easier, more affective consolidation of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire departments.

a major change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not know things would move in the direction they moved so quickly,â&#x20AC;? Doerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was shocking to them as well.â&#x20AC;?

Local government directory
Elbridge Fire President Bob Chuff is serving as interim chief until the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections in April. Doerr said part of the problem before, that led to the state of emergency, was poor communication between the board and the fire department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could be talking to a toaster and it wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten back to the department as fast as it was,â&#x20AC;? Doeer said. After last night, village officials expect that to change. The board and the department agreed to have at least five Elbridge VFD representatives attend the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly meetings instead of just one. The board will also require the department to submit more specific monthly reports that include time of incident, how many responded and what time the fire engine rolled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on top of that much more than we were in the past, and they want that as well,â&#x20AC;? Doerr said. The board specifically asked the volunteers who came to them a few weeks back with safety concerns if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen an improvement in the department. They said that they had seen

Two weeks ago the Elbridge village board passed a resolution ending the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract with the Elbridge Volunteer Fire Department, paving the way for consolidation of the Elbridge and Jordan volunteer fire departments. But after a meeting between the board and Elbridge firefighters last night at village hall, consolidation will have to wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hard part about any consolidation is somebody has to be dissolved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nature of the word,â&#x20AC;? Doerr said before the meeting. The Elbridge village board voted unanimously to lift a state of emergency, to cancel last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution to abolish the fire department and to cancel a referendum allowing residents to vote on whether to abolish the fire department. The board also waived any future public hearings on the issue. Elbridge Mayor Hank Doerr was pleased with the civil nature of the meeting, attended by about 50 people, where the Elbridge VFD was successful in convincing the board it
should remain an active fire company. About 22 of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 44 registered volunteers attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cooler heads prevailed and sanity took over last night,â&#x20AC;? Doerr said. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to lift the state of emergency was influenced by an unexpected boost in response by firefighters following the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feb. 21 vote. On Feb. 23, 15 Elbridge firefighters responded to a call at around 5 p.m. after a tractor trail had backed into a building off Route 5. Doerr said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember the last time that many volunteers responded at 5 p.m., a time when many are preoccupied getting home from work. The fire department also gave the board reason to think the improvement would not be temporary. Since Feb. 21, six firefighters have become up-to-date on their physicals and the fire department agreed to accept the village boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workplace violence policy. The department also plans to increase recruiting and update its bylaws. Elbridge Fire Chief Tim Ganey resigned last Thursday, though he remains a member of the department.
