Home of many Charlie Majors

The Bantam Team (14 and under) won the New York State Central Section Championship on Sunday by beating the Syracuse Blazers 6-5 in double overtime. Coach John Miller praised the Bantam team’s heart and character for coming from behind to tie the game with 14 seconds left in regulation and eventually winning the game in the second sudden death overtime. The team moves on to the State Championships being held in Clifton Park, near Albany March 11to13. The Pee Wee Team (12 and under) also won the New York State Central Section Championship by beating the Syracuse Blazers 2-1. Coach Mike Major praised the team’s ability to hold off a relentless attack by the Blazers in the final period and for a total team effort in winning five games played in three days. The team is hosting the State Championships at the Allyn Arena in Skaneateles March 11to 13. This is a first for the Skaneateles Youth Hockey Association with both Pee Wee and Bantam teams winning the Sectionals in the same year.

Generally the one doing the tricking, Major said this time he was tricked and totally unaware he would be receiving the award. “We told him he was just going to be taking photos,” said SYHA Board President Bill Marquardt. “He showed up to take the photos and it was great to pull the wool over him a bit.” “I knew nothing about this,” Major said.

Elbridge Village Board drops Fire Volunteer shortage leads board to consolidation By Ned Campbell Editor@eagle-observer.com The Elbridge Village Board declared a state of emergency at a special meeting last Monday, voting to terminate its contract with the Elbridge Fire Department. The village plans to contract with the Jordan Village Fire Department, but will first hold a public hearing on the issue. All calls have been turned over to the Jordan VFD. Village officials said the decision was made due to shortage of staff. The low number of volunteers responding to calls led to slow response times and heightened risk for the firefighters. The Elbridge FD has around 40 volunteers, but only six to eight have been responding as of late, said Elbridge Mayor Hank Doerr. See Elbridge Fire, page 8

have spent numerous years coaching local children on the ice and have been honored in recent years with the award. “It’s a very special group of people who’ve received the award,� Marquardt said. “It’s nice to be able to add Charlie to this list.� The award is given annually during Hockey Weekend Across America, which SYHA is encouraged to celebrate and participate in by the national youth hockey association USA Hockey. Town Councilor Steve McGlynn presented the award this year to Major after the first period of the Feb. 18 high school hockey game. He was chosen for his dedication to local hockey and the community. “He’s been involved with the association since literally

Every year he took part is constructing an outdoor rink at Austin Park before the old rink was built, which he helped pave the way for during his tenure as Skaneateles town supervisor, Marquardt said.

WHAT A YEAR FOR HOCKEY IN SKANEATELES: Skaneateles Town Justice Charlie Major, left, receives the 2011 Local Hockey Hero Award from town Councilor Steve McGlynn during the Feb. 18 high school hockey game. The award is given annually during the Hockey Weekend Across America celebration. when the village Department of Public Works was located there. For some, Major was most deserving of the award this year because of the time he’s given to the sport, but also to the community — Major has been a volunteer firefighter

for more than 50 years, was team manager for countless youth hockey teams and has worked as a public servant in the roles of town supervisor and town justice. “He’s just been one of the backbones for youth hockey for years and year and years,�

Marquardt said. “He’s a person who’s been a role model for people in Skaneateles. It was nice to give him that honor.� For 25 consecutive years, Major manned the penalty box at Skaneateles’ home games where he kept penalized players under control and let them out when their time was up. “It gets confusing when more than one [player] is in there with different times,� Major said. But with the home ice advantage, he always handled the Skaneateles box and was able to talk the players down. “I could keep them from saying anything to refs that might get them more time,� he said. Not only has Major been instrumental in turning Ska-

neateles into a hockey town, he also instilled a love of the game in his children. All five of his sons played from tykes on up through high school and continue to have great adoration for the sport. Some have followed in their father’s footsteps by taking active roles in local hockey programs, like son Mitch Major, who is currently the varsity boys ice hockey coach. Marquardt said Major is a the kind of man who shows up and cheers on the home team and is an incredibly positive and dedicated member of the Skaneateles community who is deserving of the title “Local Hockey Hero.� “The community owes him a great deal,� Marquardt said.

Obituary Robert Feldmann: Namesake of Bob’s True Value, Chamber Citizen of the Year and successful entrepreneur

Robert Feldmann Market� in the mid ‘60’s, after a fire. He rebuilt it, and by the 1970’s he had purchased another building across from Clift Park and the mail boat docks. There he could often be found on hot summer days protecting his shoppers’ parking spaces from all-day swimmers, and selling softserve ice cream, pizza and groceries to a “who’s who� of locals whose names he knew well. Feldmann served in the U.S. Navy during World War II as a Seabee - the construction battalion. He was stationed in the Aleutian Islands and Okinawa. In 1945 he married his high school sweetheart, Shirley Jane Fesenger. The couple had four children, Curt, Debbie, Scott and Leslie. They grew up on East Lake Road in Skaneateles and attended local schools. He loved his family, and relished teaching them all to waterski behind his beloved tri-hull Johnson inboard/outboard motorboat. In 1976 Bob and Shirley purchased the Reuel

E. Smith house on West Lake Street, a pre-Civil War era cottage known locally as “The Gingerbread House.� They carefully restored it and had it listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In recent years Bob cherished his perch on the front porch, where he could be found daily, waving to friends and neighbors, enjoying the bliss of the lake and the bustle of the small town. Bob was an active Rotarian, a past president and a Paul Harris Fellow, as well as a Skaneateles Citizen of the Year recognized by the Chamber of Commerce. He was well known for his dedication as a S.A.V.E.S. ambulance driver. He would often quip: “I wanted to be a doctor, but I failed Latin I - four times!� But he never failed to answer an emergency call, saving many lives. He also raised funds for the all-volunteer service. Bob’s inspiration for this was his daughter Leslie, a flight nurse with Air Life in Denver Colorado. In 1997 she tragically lost her life in a helicopter crash while on a rescue mission. The Leslie Feldmann Scholarship was established in her honor and has assisted many aspiring nurses in entering the profession. Bob Feldmann is survived by his wife of 66 years, Shirley, his children Curtis, Debra and Scott, and five grandchildren. His father Charles, mother Ha-

zel Donovan and brother “Jack� all preceded him in death. Calling hours were Tuesday March 1 at the Robert Gray Funeral Home, Skaneateles with services

following at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 37 West Genesee St.. Cremation and burial will be held in a separate, private ceremony. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to S.A.V.E.S.

Robert Curtis Feldmann, known as “Bob� to friends, died Tuesday Feb. 22, 2011, of natural causes at his beachfront home in Longboat Key, Fla. A long-time resident of Skaneateles, Bob and his wife Shirley were escaping the cold winter months by wintering in their Florida home when he passed away. Bob was known in Skaneateles as the namesake of “Bob’s True Value,� located across from the U. S. Post Office where Kinney Drugs is today. The hardware store was a part of the fabric of the community, as was Bob. There he could always be found, helping customers with a quirky product mix that went beyond paint, nuts and bolts to include hula-hoops, fresh fish, drycleaning and a pack-andship service. “You sell people what they want to buy, not what you think they should buy,� he would explain. The store was his last enterprise in a series of successful stores, including Mary Carter Paints, “The Bookie� bookstore, and a half-dozen True Values that he partnered in with his son Curtis. His first business was a minute-market in 1950’s Syracuse, before chains dominated the industry. He grew this into a fullservice grocery store in East Syracuse, and ultimately opened The Bridge Market in Skaneateles. Feldmann purchased the “Old Bridge

Recording our family’s stories in the Press My dear old dad, four brothers and I would like to thank the community for their comforting words, missives, remembrances and kind actions in regard to my mom’s recent move up to heaven. She’s definitely there, having lived with the likes of us. I apologize for the lengthy obituary in the Press, but actually, I wrote it to illustrate a couple of points. One being that if you are up to it, we do want to know more about your loved ones. The end of one’s life is not always the best time for communicating clearly, but your thoughts are always wel-

come in the pages of the Press as well as online at skaneatelespress.com. You also aren’t limited to just one picture. And, consider that we still don’t charge for publishing obituaries. Secondly, the many contributions that moms make to the lives of those in their families often go unrecorded. I thought of my mom’s story as a love letter to all Skaneateles moms, as this is a com-

munity where family is central. There are so many more things I could have written about my mother. The pure joy that she got from the little things in life, such as picking wildflowers out on County Line Road or a simple trip to the dump. The fact that she wasn’t really crazy about ice cream as she had worked a coveted soda fountain job when she was a teenager. And then, there was her modeling career that started in her 70s where she worked in infomercials, product shots with wheelchairs and had her hands and lap featured shelling peas in the official

Parmigiano Reggiano Cookbook, posing as an Italian grandmother. One of the things that tickled me the most in her later life was her deep concern for riding shotgun in the car, and her antics in trying to achieve that goal were priceless. Anyway, the Press is a place for you to journal your family’s stories, whether you want to do the writing or turn that task over to us. Your voices and images are always welcome, as we record this often misunderstood town of called Skaneateles. Leahy is the editor of the Skaneateles Press.

Letters Opportunity to vote for fresh perspective and experience on village board The March 15 election for Skaneateles is fast approaching. It is my privilege to recommend to voters of this community that a vote for Mary Sennett would be voting for a fresh perspective on the many critical issues facing the community. It would be redundant to list the many quali-

fications Holly Gregg so aptly previously described. Mary is a dedicated teacher and resident who has served the town of Skaneateles. As a member of the village board, Mary would apply her experience and common sense to serving our community in a most positive manner.

Also in this election a vote for Marty Hubbard for mayor would return proven experience to guide our village through these challenging times. Julie Sharpe Village Of Skaneateles

Based on experience, Peterson endorse Hubbard for mayor The Skaneateles community is very fortunate to have Marty Hubbard as a candidate for mayor. Skaneateles knows Hubbard through his many years of service as a village trustee and two-term mayor. Marty’s dedication to the community’s values and citizens is exceptional. What people may not know is that Hubbard is also one of the most highly respected individuals in the regional heavy construction industry. As the owner of M. Hubbard Construction, Inc., Marty has successfully completed three decades of challenging projects involving public facilities, roadway and bridge construction as well as water and wastewater treatment plants. Marty is known throughout the industry as an outstanding contractor and trusted colleague. Success in this indus-

try does not come easy and Marty’s achievements are applauded. From personal experience I believe Marty’s success is enabled by his hard work ethic, intelligence, ability to communicate with people at all levels and unquestionable integrity. Hubbard makes his living understanding problems, developing solutions, marshaling resources and implementing plans. The Skaneateles community will be well served with Marty Hubbard as mayor. Andy Peterson President, Peterson Geotechnical Construction LLC Resident, village of Skaneateles

Endorsement for Angelillo, Sennett and Hubbard in Skaneateles Village election

I encourage all eligible voters to come to the polls on March 15 to participate in the village elections. In particular I support the candidacies of Marc Angelillo and Mary Sennett for village trustee and Marty Hubbard for mayor. I have served on the village board and the village municipal board with Marty Hubbard and know him as an outstanding leader who has a unique command of the issues facing the village as well as the ability and vision to address those issues and provide solutions. He is a long time resident of the village and has shown his commitment to the community in a variety ways, both in public positions such as his service as mayor and trustee and in more understated personal contributions that do not draw attention to himself. Mary Sennett has an assortment of experience that will make her an outstanding addition to the village board including an extensive business background with IBM, her current position with the Lafayette School District and her work with the town as a member of the zoning board of appeals. Marc Angelillo has served two terms as a village trustee and has been a very active and involved member of that board. Marc’s intelligent and thoughtful approach to the job of trustee allows him to garner the respect of all he comes in contact with while holding to his firm convictions and a solid resolve while dealing with difficult issues. In addition, Marc, like Marty and Mary, is a person of great character both personally and in his public dealings. Mark Roney Village of Skaneateles

Make your vote count

To the editor: Absentee ballots are very important, as has been shown in some recent, very close count elections. Many Skaneateles residents have plans to go south during the March 15 election coming up for mayor of Skaneateles. Please go to the village office and fill out and vote on the absentee ballot. Let your voice be heard in this forthcoming important village mayoral contest. George Haux Skaneateles

Opinion Skaneateles – how much do we miss you...?

Seems the older I get the faster the summers go. For those of us with summer homes on Skaneateles Lake the months over the winter when we are unable to get up to our camps due to weather, lack of heat at cabins, etc. can seem an eternity. Yet, most of us are fortunate and have a full and productive life wherever it is that we migrate to each summer. We miss the view, the people and our lives on the lake but we are not without other resources. These feelings express how we feel under what can be called ‘normal circumstances’ in a ‘normal winter’ season. The winter of 2011 will go down as definitely NOT a ‘normal winter.’ Here at the Jersey Shore we have had one of the worst winters in decades. A blizzard in December left 32 inches of snow piled halfway up entrances to homes. And before cleanup from the blizzard could truly get underway there was another 10 inches, then 8 inches and then maybe an additional 12 inches. Just to hold its reputation intact February gave us another 6 inches – wouldn’t want to be able to

say, “It didn’t snow at all in February of 2011.� On and off there have been ‘dustings’ of 4, 6 or 8 inches. The snow was piled more than 5 feet on the roadsides and higher than that in driveways and off of sidewalks. The remnants of that first snow in December are still about – each following snow fall just adding to the piles. And – winter still has a month to go. I realize this is nothing for you hardy folk in the lake regions but, although our public works departments did marvelous jobs each storm – we have NOWHERE to put this lovely white stuff. Long story short here – it is only the end of February and we are very anxious to return to Skaneateles. We’re so anxious that we’ve decided to take a weekend in March and come up and treat ourselves to a stay at the Sherwood – why not, everyone else we know has stayed there while we’re out at camp cooking and cleaning and preparing for barbeques. Can’t wait to get some ‘good food’ at Doug’s and that breakfast

sandwich with coffee at the bakery. We’ve been told by the few brave souls that live year-round on our lane that it would be foolish to try to navigate the mile-long hill to our cabin. To say nothing of the fact that there will be no water, no heat until we get everything percolating again. So – we’re up for the trip‌looking forward to seeing the village – three months is a long time and it will be good to just get away for three or four days. And of-course we’re eager to pick up on our condo search. Must alert the ‘Kewpie Doll’ Gail Brewer at Williams Realty that we will be up. Most of all it will be good to see our ‘friends’ (like Gail) once again – or as we call them – the ‘Village People.â€? Yeah, sorry guys, you are the ‘Village People’ to us - the wonderful, wonderful ‘Village People.’ Not just our personal friends mind you but the people at the library (love that library); the sales help in the stores – can’t wait to see the changes at TOPS; the chamber people; all the guys and gals at the restaurants; Roland’s – gosh, I need a new Skaneateles sweatshirt; St. James Church; just to be able to look at the lake. Good Lord – maybe we’ll come up this weekend. Carolann McLoughlin, a writer and editor from New Jersey with a home on Skaneateles Lake, can be reached at mcloughlin43@gmail.com.

Quiet mentor: remembering Bob Feldmann By Diana Whiting Bob was an essential part of the fabric of our community. I came to know him and his family in 1978 when I rented a space from him to open my Headquarters Salon in the village of Skaneateles. When I was older, I realized that I might not have looked like the best prospect. I was 26 and didn’t have any business background, clients or much start up capital. Yet, after our interview across his deli counter, he gave me a chance. Years later, he told me he liked my moxie. Perhaps, he saw a bit of himself having started up many businesses himself. As a landlord, he was very fair and helpful to this newcomer. For me, he was good role model and friend. His daughter Debbie and I took him out last October for her birthday. Mike Tudor at the Sherwood kindly got us a table up front in the tavern so Bob could get a good seat for Loren Barrigar and his brother Kevin’s performance. A good time was had by all and his sense of humor was as good as ever. I am glad I got to give him one more haircut that day and reminisce about the past. I will miss him.

Marcellus, Skaneateles Superintendents weigh in on school consolidation By Ellen Leahy and Ned Campbell The Marcellus and Skaneateles administrative office have been meeting for a couple years, considering how best to consolidate business office functions, custodial services and building to grounds operations, says Skaneateles Superintendent Phil D’Angelo. Chuck O’Neil’s guest column in the Skaneateles Press and Eagle Observer

two weeks ago proposed a consolidation of the Skaneateles and Marcellus School Districts (read it online at skaneatelespress. com). Marcellus Superintendent Craig Tice said full consolidation of the districts is “nothing we’ve pursued,” but advocates for sharing services behind the scenes – “in a way that would not readily be seen by students,” he said. “We’ve been talking to Skaneateles about back

office operations,” Tice added. Tice is no stranger to consolidation – this past fall the district worked with the Marcellus village and town boards to secure a State Assembly block grant to fund a new message board that will eventually go up on North Street in Marcellus. The board will display announcements and notices about community events such as the Marcellus Olde Home Days. Tice said the district is thankful to the

town and village for collaborating on the project. “It’s something we’d like to do more of to save taxpayers money,” he said. Options galore D’Angelo said consolidation of transportation hasn’t been on the table, as Skaneateles is contracted with First Student, a service that supplies and manages bus drivers, whereas Marcellus has its own drivers. Schools have a number of different options for

providing services such as transportation and dining. D’Angelo said it’s important to keep in mind that not every option works for every district. “[New York State would] like us to go to county run school districts,” he said. States such as Maryland and Florida are models. D’Angelo warns that it’s a little like comparing apples to oranges, as in Maryland the counties are much smaller, maybe only encompassing a total of four

school districts compared to Onondaga County’s 19 districts. And also consider that Florida schools are not known for the quality of the education provided. “Florida schools are big, you can’t focus on what is important,” D’Angelo said. “Craig Tice understands his community; he knows how to operate to service its specific needs.”

Sports

By Phil Blackwell Happy opp or tunity smiled upon the Skaneateles girls basketball team just when it looked like its comeback season was about to end short of a Section III Class B playoff berth. Thanks to a Feb. 18 win over Bishop Grimes, the Lakers were 7-10 with one regular-season game remaining, against Westhill the following day. Had it played that game and lost (Westhill, at 12-5, was a considerable favorite and had beaten Skaneateles 7333 early this season), the Lakers would not make the playoffs. But on Feb. 19 a huge snow and wind storm hit

Central New York, and it was decided that the Skaneateles-Westhill game would be canceled – the best possible news for the Lakers since, by not playing, it could finish above. 400- and make the sectional tournament. Given the no. 10 seed in the sectional bracket, Skaneateles made its way north, to Dexter, to face no. 7 seed General Brown in last Tuesday’s opening round –and with a stirring late comeback, the Lakers beat the Lions 39-36. Perhaps the long bus ride had an early effect, for Skaneateles trailed 11-5 after one period before settling down and, by halftime, only trailed GB by an 18-16

seven points as Elizabeth Lane put up six points, five assists and four steals. This sent Skaneateles into an imposing Class B quarterfinal at no. 2 seed Cazenovia, a team it lost to twice in the regular season. And it would fall a third time, this one a 51-10 defeat where it did not manage a single point in the first quarter and saw two Cazenovia players, Raeanne Clabeaux (16 points) and Ellen Burr (15 points), outscore them alone. That loss, though, could not erase the vast improvement Skaneateles made in 2010-11. Ross and Sheldon depart, but the return of Leslie, Lane and Erin Tonzi, plus a strong JV squad, means that the Laker program might not be done moving up.

margin. Yet the Lions started fast in the third quarter with an 8-0 run, making it 26-16 before head coach Bob Braunitzer could call a time-out, telling his players not to end the season like this. Sure enough, the Lakers blanked GB the rest of the period and pulled within one, 26-25, setting up a tense fourth quarter where both sides traded the lead. Skaneateles moved in front, 38-36, in the waning moments and, with 3.6 seconds left, got a free throw from Erin Tonzi to help seal the victory. Though no Laker scored in double figures, Holly Ross amassed 16 rebounds and four steals. Ashley Sheldon had 10 rebounds to go with her six points, while Emily Call led with eight points.

Lakers top Lowville to get to semis By Phil Blackwell More than a week had passed since the Skaneateles boys basketball team had completed its OHSL Liberty division regular-season championship run. Now the Lakers, as the top seed in the Section III Class B playoffs, were eager to set out on the quest to end an 18-year championship drought – but had to wait an extra day as snow postponed Friday’s quarterfinal against no. 9 seed Lowville. The delay did little to slow Skaneateles down, though, as it emerged Saturday and methodically took the Red Raiders apart, easily prevailing by a score of 63-35. Lowville, who had ousted no. 8 seed South Jefferson 54-38 in the first round, never gave the Lakers a serious worry as the hosts held them to six points in the opening quarter. Still, the rust may have showed up on the offensive side, as Skaneateles only led 26-16 going into halftime. But a stern halftime talk from head coach Karl Norris seemed to awaken

GOTCHA: Skaneateles center, 42, Pat Roberts gets this jump ball in Saturday’s Class B quarterfinal against Lowville. the attack as Skaneateles outscored the Red Raiders 21-7 in the third quarter to pull clear. Kevin Rice again provided a major spark, the senior pouring in 18

points. Pat Roberts earned 10 points, while Jimmy Atkinson nailed a trio of 3-pointers to account for all of his nine points. Brandon Barron and Paul O’Donnell each had seven points as James Smith got six points. The early rounds of the Class B tournament revealed, once again, the strength within the OHSL Liberty division as, just like 2010, all four semifinalists came from the league – Skaneateles, Bishop Grimes, Marcellus and defending state champion Westhill. In one of those semifinals, Skaneateles would try to beat Grimes, the no. 5 seed, for the third time this season. Led by Mike Stone’s 29 points (including all 19 his team got in the third quarter), the Cobras took out Bishop Ludden 55-49 in its quarterfinal – and burns to avenge those regular-season setbacks, especially the 73-42 beating it took at Skaneateles on Feb. 18. Whoever wins that game would draw Westhill or Marcellus on Saturday in the Class B title game, to be played at Utica Memorial Auditorium.

Lakers record high finishes at state track qualifier By Phil Blackwell

Skaneateles indoor track and field seniors Caroline Walton and Gabby Eckles both managed high finishes during last Saturday’s Section III state qualifying meet at Colgate University’s Sanford Field House. Walton would battle Auburn’s Corrine Taylor for the top position in the shot put. Walton threw it 36 feet 8 inches, beating everyone except Taylor, who won by going 37 feet 10 ½ inches, but still had the best finish among small-school competitors. As for Eckles, she rose to fourth place in the high jump, clearing 5 feet 2 inches as Mexico’s Kaylea Morse (5 feet 4 inches) grabbed the top spot. Over in the triple jump, Eckles went 32 feet 5 Âź inches and took fifth place. Elsewhere, freshman Madeline Adams worked her way to fourth place in the 3,000-meter run in 11:37.21, while fellow ninth-grader Taylor Woodruff earned seventh place in the 300-meter dash in 44.98 seconds. In the boys state qualifier, Skaneateles senior Sean Cooper was fourth in the 55-meter hurdles, speeding to a time of 8.21 seconds as Liverpool’s Joe Spernyak (7.84 seconds) went to the front. Senior Tim Lewis topped 5 feet 8 inches to get to sixth place in the high jump, as Junior Taylor Weyneth cleared 10 feet 6 inches for seventh place in the pole vault.

Blessings

From page 1

Fast forward to Iraq 2008 For his heroic action under direct enemy fire and safely retrieving a fallen comrade, Blessing humbly accepted the Commendation Medal. Proud to be serving, as are a majority of today’s soldiers who enlist in the Armed services, Blessing wasn’t in it for medals. He felt it was his duty. Naturally, Bill Sr. and wife Sue were proud of their son’s decision. Proud and naturally a little concerned. America is at war. Still, there were plenty of duty stations outside of active combat. Possible assignments included the 10th Mountain Division located north of Watertown at Fort Drum. Their son would be relatively safe and close to home, Bill Sr. and Sue thought hopefully. Their hope was soon replaced by a dark cloud of worry beyond words. Bill Jr., with a rank of Army Specialist, was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 327 Infantry Division, 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, KY. The infantry fights wars on the ground, front and center. Eclipsing his parent’s dread, Bill Jr. was thrilled beyond measure to join the 101st Airborne, the honorable division that earned distinction on D-Day in WWII, recounted on film as “The Band of Brothers.� The small town kid who played army in the trees was now officially a “Screaming Eagle.� Tour of duty,Combat Outpost (COP) Monti, Kunar Province, Afghanistan, April 2010

From Specialist to Corporal to Sergeant Blessing, he was deployed to Combat Outpost Monti, located in the unforgiving, rocky landscape of the Kunar Province in northeast Afghanistan, close to the Pakistan border. The young Sgt. was assigned as a leader of a fire-team of three infantry men. COP Monti, a hostile and deadly location, is relentlessly “active.� The almost daily engagements with Taliban and insurgent forces are often brutal and bloody. Last August, Sgt. Blessing, his fire-team and a number of men from his company were manning a heavy .50 caliber machine gun dug in on a low mountain ridge, anticipating another enemy assault. When it came, the Taliban attacked with roughly 100 fighters, Blessing and his soldiers took and returned fire, the big .50 hammering away for what might have been hours. During the engagement, an enemy round tore into the arm of a member of Blessing’s team. The sudden impact of the bullet pitched the man and he fell hard onto sharp rocks below, fracturing his leg. Under heavy fire, Blessing, who had medic training, scrambled to the man and dragged him to a safe position. Another soldier took an enemy round in the chest. The bullet, deflected by his protective body armor, instead tore into his arm. Again under constant enemy fire, Blessing made his way to the wounded man and got him to safety as well. Blessing returned to his team, fewer now, and continued

to pound the enemy with the heavy gun, not stopping until ordered to do so. For his courage and meritorious actions under fire, Sgt. Blessing received the Bronze Star, the fourth highest military decoration. Parents of soldiers serving in an active war zone, serve as well The children, whom they’ve protected from birth, are in harm’s way, leaving the parents enveloped in a dark cloud of helplessness. It’s a cold, inescapable feeling that comes with knowing the horrible realities of war. It’s always there, surrounding them, dread beyond worry, every second of every minute of every day. Advancement in communication technology has brought the war zone from newsreels and telegrams, to live reports on laptops. Immediate and face-to-face, parents have virtually live contact with sons and daughters on location as they serve. Military family support groups keep parents in touch with other parents of serving children, letting them know they’re not alone. It all helps, maybe even eases a bit of the heavy burden of worry parents constantly carry. But the blank spot is always in front of them while they carry on with daily tasks. There’s no medal for parents, nor would they want one. When the kids come home safe, that’s the reward. Thank God for Skaneateles’ many Blessings

Elbridge Fire “Not everybody can respond because the economy has changed, some have two or three or four jobs,� Doerr said, adding “Close to a dozen calls this month have been delayed or no response.� In cases where Elbridge did not respond, mutual aid fire departments were called in. Three Elbridge firefighters, including second assistant chief Keven Mead, last Thursday approached village board members with concerns about the safety of residents as well as their own, prompting the village board to take action. “When you call in for an emergency, [the firefighters] don’t always know the full scope of it – the six to eight firefighters are so at risk,� Do-

– traditional firefighting at its finest – and he wants to do everything he can [to help],� Doerr said. Doerr said Elbridge Fire Chief Tim Ganey had indicated that he wouldn’t run for election in April. “The firefighters approached us and said they’re

not sure they’re gonna live till April,� Doerr said. “That’s untenable.� In December, Onondaga County released response times for village fire departments, listing Jordan as the department with the slowest response time at nearly 16 minutes. Elbridge was listed at around 9:35. Doerr said county officials admitted to getting the numbers wrong in this case. Jordan Mayor Dick Platten said that on several occasions, the Jordan VFD has had more firefighters at an Elbridge fire than the Elbridge VFD. He said he supports reorganizing fire services within the town of Elbridge to make sure both villages ar as safe as possible.

Mottville, Camillus fire departments offer added support Tim Baker, chief of the Mottville Fire Department, called Elbridge Town Supervisor Ken Bush last Tuesday morning and asked him to reassure residents that the Mottville FD is willing and able to help assist through mutual aid any emergency situations that should develop in the town of Elbridge. “This offer of assistance is especially important to those residents living in the southern portion of the township,� Bush said. Camillus Fire Chief Scott Binns also called Bush that day offering added assistance to the town of Elbridge and its residents.

If you’re in the market for a recreational vehicle, look no further than the 41st annual Central New York RV Show this March 3-6 at the New York State Fairgrounds. “It’s a great place to come if you’re interested in an RV, whether you’re just starting to look or if you’re seriously looking at buying one,� said Paul Oot, owner of Seven-O’s RV Way in Cicero, one of the participating dealers. “Everything is indoors. There’s a huge variety of models in every price range. There are also great pricing and great interest rates – through all the banks at the show.� Sponsored by the RV Dealers Association of Syracuse and the Campground

Owners of New York, the show, which takes place from 12 to 9 p.m. Thursday March 3, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday March 4 and Saturday March 5 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday March 6, will occupy three buildings at the Fairgrounds: the Americraft Center of Progress, the Toyota Exhibit Center and the Horticultural Building.

Tickets for the RV show are $9 for age 16 and up; kids 16 and under get in free and receive a free Kid’s Camping Meal. “As far as special pricing goes, on Thursday, tickets are half-price, and Friday through Sunday, you can get $2 off your ticket by going to our Web site at cnyrvshow. com,� Oot said. In addition, if you attend the show Thursday, you can come back any day for free. Free shuttles will take visitors to and from the parking lot and between buildings. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will be on hand to greet visitors, help on the shuttles and give demonstrations. Oot said about 15,000 people attend the show every year. “Saturday is the busiest day,� he said. “Thursday and Friday tend to be a little slower, especially during the day, so that’s a great time to come and kind of peruse what we’ve got, especially with the halfprice tickets on Thursday.� Oot also encouraged families to check out the show. “RVing is a great way to go, especially with the family, whether it’s just over the weekends or for a big vacation,� he said. “In New York alone, there are hundreds of campgrounds, whether you’re going to the Adirondacks or really anywhere in the state.� The same is true throughout the nation, with more than 16,000 campgrounds See CNY RV Show, next page

Yogi Bear…Family fun-close to you! Jellystone Park marks 41st year

asked us to take Yogi to a holiday event in Rochester on Dec. 2. It was a tree lighting and a variety of family activities. We spent about two and a half hours meeting and greeting families. Yogi kept the children busy while waiting to have their picture taken with Santa. Yogi and Boo Boo traveled to Carousel Mall for the opening night of the new movie. They were on a red carpet as they greeted movie-goers. Later they were asked to ride the carousel with the children. It was difficult to move through the food court both Friday night and Saturday because so many children and adults wanted their picture with the bears. Saturday, when someone on the carousel spotted Yogi work his way for aother ride, a loud “Yogi Chant” was started that certainly got some attention. They also rode the glass elevator and the escalator. What a great experience for all of us,” said Barb Lighthall. Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is located at 601 County Route 16, Mexico. For more information call 963-7096 or visit jellystonecny.com. Propane is available year-round; call ahead. Store hours starting April 1 are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

rience for the family. “The great thing about RVing in terms of the family is that it kind of forces you to be together,” Oot said. “There’s not as many distractions and you’re not all going in different directions. Throughout the trip each day and for the vacation itself, you’re spending time together, from the morning until the campfire at night.” For more information on the CNY RV Show, call (877) 228-8240 or visit cnyrvshow. com.

throughout the country. “Pretty much any destination you’re thinking about, there’s a campground nearby, whether it’s a private campground or one of the state-run ones,” Oot said. “The same is true throughout the country. Let’s say you’re going to Disney. They have a campground along with their hotels. Every resort has a campground. You can bring your own things, sleep in your own bed, there’s no airport delays or cancelled flights.” RVing also provides a good bonding expe-

HEALTH & WELLNESS Hematology-Oncology Associates provides the highest level of quality care Since 1982, Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY (HOA) has been a private practice dedicated to providing optimal care in a healing environment for the mind, body and spirit of patients dealing with cancer and blood disorders. HOA is comprised of 16 physicians, 22 nurse practitioners/physician assistants and 200-plus clinical personnel in four locations including one in Rome and three in the greater Syracuse area. They are privileged to have patients entrust them with their medical care and allow them to be an integral part of their healthcare journey. HOA treats about 2,500 new cancer patients and 1,300 new patients with blood disorders each year. HOA’s Clinical Research Department and Clinical Trials are one of our community’s jewels. HOA is one of just 50 National Cancer Institute Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) participants in the U.S. There are times when HOA’s patients can benefit from clinical trials using new cancer treatments or technologies that are unavailable anywhere else in Upstate NY. Everyone at HOA is deeply committed to offering their patients the most advanced treatments available. Their clinical staff is highly skilled and certified in their Oncology specialty. HOA’s comprehensive cancer sites offer infusion therapy and radiation therapy via two advanced Varian linear accelerators for IGRT (Image Guided Radiation Therapy). Their East

HOA is deeply committed to offering their patients the most advanced treatments available. Syracuse facility also houses the CyberKnife, the world’s most accurate radiosurgery weapon, which painlessly treats tumors with minimal effects on nearby healthy cells. The CyberKnife tackles tumors throughout the body including the spine, brain, lung and prostate – even those deemed inoperable. Because it’s so effective, patients need far fewer treatments. HOA also offers in-house CT imaging, giving their treatment teams quick, desktop access to each patient’s cumulative imaging, so physicians can closely monitor progress. In addition,

their certified laboratory offers extensive on-site testing for exceptional results and patient convenience. What makes their practice truly special is that everyone at HOA is “united in spirit” – a spirit that is filled with possibilities and hope. They believe that effective medical treatment is not only about healing their patients’ physical illnesses, but also about promoting their emotional, mental and spiritual well being. Their patients are treated like people – not cases. They offer counseling and alternative therapies such as Reiki, massage, healing touch, acupuncture and foot reflexology to complement their state-of-the-art medical treatments and clinical trials. The mission of Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY is to provide the highest level of quality care in a healing environment for the mind, body and spirit of patients dealing with cancer and blood disorders. HOA’s sites include Brittonfield Parkway in East Syracuse – 472-7504; Onondaga Hill in Syracuse – 472-7504; North Medical Center in Liverpool – 472-7504, and East Chestnut Street in Rome – 339-5783. Their beautiful, healing space called “The Wellness Center” is located at 5700 West Genesee Street in Camillus and provides a haven of opportunity for the mind, body and spirit and it is open to the public.

Popular alternative to nursing home care thrives in CNY

Who would have dreamt that one of Central New York’s most popular alternatives to traditional nursing home care today originated nearly 30 years ago on the west coast of the United States? PACE CNY, Loretto’s popular Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly in cooperation with St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, is based on the national PACE model created in 1973 to help the AsianAmerican community in San Francisco care for its elders in their own homes. It provided an innovative way to offer and coordinate a comprehensive array of medical services, physical and occupational therapies, nutrition, transportation,

respite care, socialization and other needed services using home care and an adult day setting. In 1994, Loretto determined that it would pursue development of a PACE program in Onondaga County. PACE CNY officially opened its doors on December 1, 1997, and has since expanded to include two full PACE Day Centers serving a current census of more than 400 enrollees. According to the National PACE Association, the typical PACE participant is over the age of 80, lives alone or with relatives, and requires help with personal care and with activities of daily living to maintain safety and security. The Interdisciplinary Team

Approach One of the unique aspects of PACE CNY is its interdisciplinary team approach to providing or coordinating care of those people who are nursing home eligible and are age 55 or older. Every weekday morning the team gathers for “Morning Meeting,” where they discuss any findings or concerns about each individual participant’s health and well being. Every participant has a team that manages their needs. The PACE CNY interdisciplinary team includes medical care from primary care physicians and nurse practitioners, and home care services from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certi-

fied home health aids. In addition, PACE CNY offers physical, occupational and massage therapies, as well as therapeutic recreation, day care, nutrition, medication management, transportation and case management staff services. Recent developments at PACE CNY In 2008, Loretto’s Forest View at Fayette opened to provide quality, low-cost housing for 14 older adults in Syracuse. PACE CNY provides supportive services for these residents to help them remain independent and living in the community for as long as possible.

Excellus BCBS awards hospitals $19 million for quality improvements Fifty-two upstate New York hospitals last year earned more than $19 million in quality improvement incentive payments from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield as part of the health insurer’s Hospital Performance Incentive Program. In the past two years, quality performance incentives from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield have exceeded $40 million. “By tying our payments to these hospitals to improvements in health outcomes and patient safety, we’re helping assure that our members and all others get the best quality care and the most value for their health care dollars,” said Carrie Frank, vice president of quality and health informatics at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. Eight hospitals in Central New York participated in this program in 2010, including Community General Hospital, Cortland Regional Medical Center, Crouse Hospital, Massena Memorial Hospital, Oswego Hospital, Samaritan Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center and SUNY Upstate University Hospital. “Working with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield complements our robust quality improvement program at Upstate University Hospital,” said James Legault, director of clinical practice analysis and infection control at SUNY

Upstate University Hospital. “The ability to combine our goals with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield works well for both organizations.” Launched in 2004, the HPIP program evaluates participating hospitals on more than 300 performance measures. Target outcomes are jointly agreed upon by each hospital and the health insurer using benchmarks established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Leapfrog Group, the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and others. Four areas are targeted for improvement: Clinical Outcomes – Focused on improvements in heart attack care, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. Patient Safety – Focused on reductions in hospital-acquired infections, improved medication reconciliation processes and National Quality Forum Safe Practices. Patient Perception of Care and Patient Satisfaction – Focused on a hospital’s use of a national survey tool. Efficiency – Focused on generics utilization, length of stay and readmissions. “Having a financial incentive to improve quality has resulted in participating hospitals consistently scoring higher

on CMS Quality Measures than hospitals whose payments are not at-risk,” said Frank. CMS is the federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Relevance in upstate New York In 2007, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield issued a fact sheet on hospital-acquired infections which showed an estimated 19,500 upstate New Yorkers acquired an infection during a hospital stay in 2004 and nearly a thousand deaths were likely to have occurred as a result. The fact sheet, titled HospitalAcquired Infections in Upstate New York, is archived under the heading “Hospitals” in the News & Information section of excellusbcbs.com. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, a nonprofit independent licensee of the BlueCross BlueShield Association, is part of a family of companies that finances and delivers vital health care services to 1.7 million people across upstate New York. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield provides access to high-quality, affordable health coverage, including valuable health-related resources that our members use every day, such as cost-saving prescription drug discounts and wellness tracking tools in our Step Up program.

Seneca Federal: Navigating economic changes, same solid community foundation Katrina Russo, President – CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is very passionate about her community bank and its solid decision making. 2010 marked Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association’s 83th year of providing financial services to communities within Central New York. “This milestone is rare in today’s financial industry and we’re proud of it. Given the competitive environment and state of today’s economy, within which Seneca Federal operates, the association is fortunate to have a dedicated staff of employees who continue to provide exceptional, personal customer service to our members. This dedication has proven to sustain us through many years,� Russo said. Russo continued, “The national economy has been marked by high unemployment rates, a rising number of foreclosures, declining home prices and contractions in business and consumer credit. The unemployment rate locally was slightly below the national average, which was 9.4 percent in December 2010.� She explained that in 2010, the association continued to have strong asset quality based on the association’s conservative underwriting standards and diligent monitoring of delinquent and nonperforming loans. “We have remained committed to our charter of fostering homeownership during 2010 by originating over $12.4 million in residential mortgage loans,� she said. “Our net interest income is above last years’ level and we have maintained liquidity while preparing our balance sheet for the risk of inflation, and

expanding our residential mortgage loan business as well as to invest in what management believes will be a future higher rate environment.� The association’s operating expenses are below last year’s level as a result of various factors including the completion of the final phase of the succession plan, developed by the board over four years ago. “The succession plan was a slow, seamless process that was completed in mid 2010. We were able to navigate our own internal changes while also navigating all the various changes in the economy and banking regulations,� Russo said. “Many small banks face a merger at the time executive and senior officers retire,� she said. “The continued viability of Seneca Federal is not only a tribute to the board, but also to the retiring officers and employees who provided others with the knowledge and skill sets necessary for the association to carry on for many more decades under the thrift charter and to this end we are very thankful to be given this opportunity entrusted to us.� Looking ahead to 2011, management remains committed to maintaining a steady course in carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to them by the board, as the merger between the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of The Comptroller of the Currency occurs in July of this year. “The extensive regulatory changes brought about by the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the passing of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and

At left, Seneca Federal Savings President-CEO Katrina M. Russo and Wendy K. Bodnar, EVP-CFO. Consumer Protection Act in 2010 marks yet another transformation in banking activities, which can stretch the resources of small community banks,� points out Russo. Reform will be far reaching into such areas as Federal consumer protection law compliance, state law compliance, and Homeland Security Regulations. The regulatory burden is always disproportionately heavy for reputable lenders such as Seneca Federal as attempts are made by the federal government to police the dishonest few. Russo is emphatic that the See Seneca Federal, continued on next page

On her way to visit her family in New Jersey, she hit a patch of black ice on the highway and lost control of her car. It flipped several times before resting on its roof. The impact of the crash broke her back. Once stabilized in t he hospit a l weeks later, she ch o s e Sy r a c u s e H o m e’s s h o r t term rehabilitation to help her recover from her injuries. “I am so grateful for the care I received at Syracuse Home. The therapists are well-trained, sup-

portive and committed to helping us return home to our families,” says Rurka. Syracuse Home’s comprehensive short-term rehabilitation has rapidly become one of Central New York’s most recommende d prog rams. Short-term rehabilitation

Within three weeks of rehabilitation, I returned home. Words cannot describe how wonderful it felt to actually walk into my home. I can’t say enough about my experience. The nurses went above and beyond their normal duties to address my individual needs. I highly recommend Syracuse Home for

short-term rehabilitation,” says Rurka. Occupational therapies address muscle strength, range of motion, plus cognitive and visual skills that enhance every day activities. When appropriate, speech therapies address treatment and management of communication impairments as well as

Some of their favorites are the upcoming Mardi Gras, and the traditional St. Patrick’s Day Party where they’ll enjoy entertainment and the traditional fare for the event. In turn, community organizations utilize Springside’s facilities when holding functions. Springside hosts between 40 and 50 events each year, for organizations including local service clubs, church-related groups, retiree groups, and SUNY-Oswego programs. The facility is also often the location for many Oswego Health functions such as board meetings and social gatherings.

These luncheons, which are open to the public, attract as many as 200 individuals each month. In addition to the Soup Lovers events, there is a strawberry Festival held in mid-June and summertime hotdog luncheon events. “These events keep our residents connected with the community,” said Vice President/COO Teresa Ferlito. “Their interest is always piqued as to what organization is using their beautiful facility to host a meeting or dining event.” Springside residents enjoy the delicious meals prepared for them by the in-house chef.

CANCER BEWARE “I had cancer. Cancer never had me.” Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.
