rumors of my death.....

wolCott - a faithful reader of the lakeshore news called the office Friday to ask if we had any information on the death of James yadanza. yadanza was a popular chi-ropractor located in wolcott until he moved to Florida several years ago. after cursory research on the internet came up empty, we called dr. ya-danza’s office in Punta Gorda. we are pleased to report he is alive and well and was quite enjoying himself on a ride at disney at the time.

“Please put something in the paper to the effect of ‘reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated,’” dr. yadanza requested. here it is. may you enjoy many more healthy years.

aid Pouring in for savannah water system Project mike Costanza | lakeshore news writer

Good news flowed from savan-nah on aug. 17, when super-v isor Kenneth l auderdale

announced that the town landed $3.5 million in federal funding for major upgrades of its water system.

the aid will allow the town of sa-vannah water district to upgrade or replace about 80 percent of its water system, lauderdale says. Plans for the project include the building of a new water filtration plant and water tank, and the replacement of miles of aging pipes. though district customers should find themselves with a safer source of water, the average charge for water services is expected to rise.

the aid comes in the form of a $2 million grant and a $1.5 mil-lion, no-interest, 30-year loan from the drinking water state

o P i n i o n we welcome your opinions. Please email your letters of 500 words or less to editor@wayuga.com or mail them to 6784 main st., red Creek, ny 13143.we must verify the author of each letter, even if you wish to have your name withheld from publication, so please don’t forget to sign your letter.

thank youto the Editor:as of last month, the lyons heritage society has been in posses-

sion of the hotchkiss Essential oil Company Building in lyons. i would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all those individuals for their support of the preservation of the building and its artifacts.

First and foremost, a big thank you to the author of the piece to save the building, sharon lilla, retired wayne County senior Planner. with her vision and insight and the work of obtaining almost $1 million in grant money for the building, was incredible. we thank you so much!

second, when the county asked for a group to step forward to help save the building, wECa under the leadership of Peg Churchill came forward. they saw our need and we thank you for your support.

as our campaign to save the building proceeded, my hotchkiss Building steering Committee became invaluable as they attended many a meeting and were most supportive in our efforts. thank you to: Janet thomas, dave alena, Jack mcCranels, Corrine Kleisle, dick Kelley, dan lagasse, Jerry ashley and Carol Bailey.

a big thank you to our lyons supervisor, Brian manktelow, who spent much time and energy to try to convince the County to preserve the building by using the grant money. i also want to thank other wayne County supervisors, especially steve Groat (Clyde), dick Colacino (newark), laurie Crane (huron), lucinda Collier (rose) and Ken lauderdale (savannah). your support and realization of the value and importance of this historic building and its contents were certainly appreciated.

to the lyons heritage society Board and members who supported the campaign and worked hard to save the building, especially Carol agnew, Pat and Bob Gorthy, mark deCracker, dick Kelley, dave alena, rick Kelley, anne salerno, stuart smart, and Janet thomas.

the final huge thank you and the one that really made the dif-ference goes to the village of lyons mayor Corrine Kleisle and the village Board: dennis alvaro, terry vanstean, Joanne Greco, and Ernie Evangelist. thank you for stepping forward to accept the building and transferring its ownership to us, the lyons heritage society.

Even though the grant money did not transfer with the building, we are happy to have it in our possession and will start over again. Presently, we are renovating it with private donations.

if i inadvertently forgot someone, please accept my apology and thank you. those of you who attended meetings over the last three years with voices of support, i really appreciate it.

- Patricia alena, President, lyons heritage society

misses savannah Column

to the Editor:For years i have looked for-

ward to my weekly copy of your paper. now, not so much.

savannah is my home town and even though i no longer live there, i am interested in read-ing about relatives, friends and events happening there.

what a disappointment when you removed the savannah Column.

my first thought was to not renew my subscription, but i’ve decided to give you another chance. maybe something will change.

- dorothy B. lux, former savannah resident

wake up americato the Editor:do you actually realize what we as a whole are doing to our

country? do we care enough to try and do something about it or are we just going to sit back and complain and let our country go down the tubes.

yes, i know, you say no one will listen when actually everyone does listen but no one does anything about it. Come on people, we need to group together, watch our labels and buy american made! and i have said myself, “we can’t afford american made” but the concept that you are saving money by buying off-shore is bogus. the truth of the matter is that the jobs lost and subsequent lost income will eliminate the ability for us to buy any products at all. this can only lead to increased unemployment and cause company bankruptcy, not to mention our own. don’t be fooled, the politicians intention is to line their pockets and grab more power, by making us all poor and by controlling more big busi-ness. the greed of us all wanting lower prices is also cutting our own financial throats in the process. do you know that when you shop at such stores as wal-mart, lowe’s, Kohl’s, home depot and target, that is exactly what you’re doing due to most of their merchandise being imported.

if the government won’t help, then the people must do it them-selves. if 300,000 people living in american each spent $1 less on foreign-made goods and $1 more on american made goods, after a year this would add up to $109,500,000,000. what could the real, productive american economy do with an extra $109.5 billion? how about 2,737,500 new jobs paying $40,000 per year.

shopping for back to school and for Christmas will soon be upon us so if you start now it’s possible to local some good sales, american made, of course. all in all, if you can’t buy american, then you don’t need it. don’t let greed and lust for the good life take our country away from us, fight for it!

For more inspiring information on this subject, type in how to buy american made on your Google page and get inspired. (some information obtained from www.madeinusa.org.)

o P i n i o nan open letter to area Christians - Creation Care: a neglected spiritual mandate

dear Fellow Christians:i write this with the understanding that as Christians striving to

live their beliefs, we are challenged daily to make decisions based on our Christian precepts. as someone falling far short of perfec-tion, i hesitate to point what suggests a finger of condemnation at my fellow humans, especially my fellow Christians.

But as both a Christian and a trained naturalist, i am saddened by the lack of attention on the part of much of the Christian com-munity to Creation Care, and the absence of Christian voices against such examples of environmental abuses as mountaintop removal, irresponsible drilling operations for oil and natural gas, factory farms, and other excesses of our society that threaten the gifts of soil, air, and water with which the Creator has blessed us. if we, as Christians, display a singular lack of attention to our driving habits, levels of consumption, recycling practices or lack thereof, diets, and other aspects of our daily lives that compound the stress on the earth’s life support systems, we cannot expect our God to provide for us forever.

Just as we as Christians have traditionally proven ourselves true children of God in caring for the poor and needy, giving spiritual comfort to the distressed of mind and spirit, and in other ways demonstrating our concern for the well being of humanity, so we are called upon to escalate our efforts toward a more marginalized obligation: ongoing stewardship of the earth itself. the Bible is replete with passages that remind us of our duties as earth keepers, and these we need to translate into action wherever we are.

Practices such as hydrofracking, mountaintop removal, oil ex-traction from tar sands, offshore drilling and drilling in pristine wilderness areas are political and economic issues, but are first and foremost Creation Care issues.

my fellow Christians have every right to choose other tasks as their spiritual priorities, but i nevertheless opine that attention to and concern for the blessings of Creation is an area suffering from serious neglect by the Christian community. with its bulldozers, drilling rigs, drag lines, and other products of an advanced tech-nology capable of altering the face of the Earth, the human species has not exercised wisdom and restraint in their use, and for the first time in history, is capable of self extinction. Christians-along with other people of good will-need to speak out.

information from the wayne County website

lakeshore livingGalen

the town of Galen was formed from Junius, seneca County, February 14, 1812. it included what is now the town of savannah. on april 11, 1823, Galen became part of wayne County. in november 1824, savannah was set off. Galen is composed of nearly 35,300 acres of rich, sandy, gravely loam and black muck. the east-ern section of the town is hilly and the western is more level. the Clyde river flows through the southern part of the town.Galen comprises township no. 27 of the new military tract. it was reserved for physicians and surgeons of the new york regiments in the revolutionary war. it was named in honor of Galen, a celebrated Greek physician.the first settler in Galen was laomi Beadle, who settled in the hamlet of marengo in 1800. here he built the first log house, planted the first orchard and built the first sawmill.the glass industry was the most important early industry in the town of Galen. william s. dezeng and his broth-er-in-law, James rees, founded the first glass factory in 1828 on the south side of the Erie Canal in the village of Clyde. this factory was for the manufacture of window glass only. the company was continued until 1864 under several names. in 1864, the bottleworks was started and was then combined with the glassworks. the bottle and glassworks operation continued, again under several dif-ferent owners until 1895. at this time, the manufacture of window glass was discontinued, and the firm was in-corporated as the Clyde Glass works. By 1915, with the coming of machinery to do the work of the glass blow-ers and the fact that the plant was not easily accessible to the railroad, the Clyde Glass works closed its doors. many efforts were made to revive the business, but to no avail.

another interesting fact about the town of Galen is that it was the location of one of the four world war ii Prisoner of war Camps in wayne County. in addition to the village of Clyde in the town of Galen, Prisoner of war Camps were located in the towns of arcadia, marion and sodus. the camp in Clyde was located in the old high school building on the corner of Caro-line and lock streets. this building became home to 50 italian prisoners in the fall of 1943. the following summer, the italians were relocated and replaced by 116 German prisoners. By march 1946, all the Pris-oner of war Camps in wayne County had closed.today the town of Galen is a rural community with a population of over 4,400.

found the C. h. stuart Com-pany.

John Zornow, president of the newark-arcadia historical society and museum, says C. h. stuart initially sold toilet-ries and household products door-to-door. the company then went on to offer first per-fumes and cosmetics, and then silver and china. the company was also a kind of incubator for more than 13 other firms, Zornow says, including sarah Coventry inc.

Bill stuart, C. h.’s grandson, founded sarah Coventr y in 1949, a time of prosperity and social and economic ferment. americans had more disposable income, and sought to spend it after the privations of world war ii. at the same time, wom-en who had worked in offices and factories during the war found themselves forced out of jobs by returning servicemen. the jewelry company offered women the opportunity to earn money through in-home sales and products that appealed them. the company’s “party plan” sales system, under which sales personnel presented their wares to groups of potential customers in the relaxed set-tings of private homes, also gave women the chance to socialize while shopping. at a time when women spent less time outside the home, such opportunities proved attractive-and bore fruit in sales.

sales of sarah Coventry jew-elry took off, and the company’s products came to be offered in homes and stores throughout the us. sarah Coventr y inc. acquired nationwide brand recognition, its jewelry adver-tised in national magazines and prime-time television com-mercials and given as treasured prizes on television game shows

such as “Queen for a day.” the company sponsored the sarah Coventry, a golf tournament on the lPGa tour, and even miss universe once sported a sarah Coventry crown.

over time, sarah Coventry inc. branched out, acquiring subsid-iaries in Europe, australia and beyond. James doyle, who once traveled the world as president of sarah Coventry international, remembers traveling to the southern african Kingdom of swaziland in the 1980’s with his wife. while the couple reclined on low couches, their host gave a sarah Coventry jewelry sales party.

“it was the most interesting that i’ve ever been to,” doyle says.

as the company’s fortunes rose, so did its stature in new-ark, where the company was headquartered. sarah Coventry inc. employed 1,300 in its hey-day, Zornow says, and filled out the ranks of local churches and service clubs.

“all these stuart employees were these smar t , posit ive people who were assets to any club,” Zornow says.

with newark’s permission, the company built a park opposite its headquarters where it could entertain its sales personnel, Zornow says. the company subsequently gave the property to newark, which named it the t. spencer Knight Canal Park. Knight was a former newark Parks Commissioner and presi-dent and chairman of the board of sarah Coventry. Zornow says sarah Coventry also maintained a facility in sodus.

van develde worked for sarah Coventry in the late 1970’s-though not in swaziland.

“i actually worked at a sarah Coventry factory in newark two

summers when i was in (high) school,” she says.

sarah Coventry inc. expanded its product lines to include other accessories, including men’s jewelry and ladies watches, but by the early 1980’s women had begun to find more lucra-tive positions outside the home. sales of the company’s products flattened, and never recovered. in 1984, the company went bankrupt.

Zornow says the loss of sar-ah Coventry inc. hit newark hard.

“the worst thing that ever happened to newark was the loss of the stuart companies,” he says.

a co m p any su bs e qu e nt l y bought the sarah Coventr y name, but an attempt to market jewelry under it failed.

the newark-arcadia museum is a repository for memorabilia from the stuart family, Zornow says, and many items made by the family’s companies, includ-ing about 500 pieces of sarah Coventry jewelry.

van develde entered broadcast journalism, and spent 25 years working in that field in Pitts-burgh. after working as a pro-ducer of investigative television pieces, she turned to freelance filmmaking.

along the way, van develde began collecting antique cos-tume jewelry, and developed an interest in the sarah Coventry line. an ad for the jewelry from a wolcott collector piqued her interest, and drew her, camera in hand to interview Zornow and local collec tors of the jewelry. she hopes to turn the interviews into a documentary about sarah Coventry, the com-pany and the jewelry.

“it kind of lives on,” van de-velde says of the pretty pieces. “younger people are now col-lecting it.”

sarah Coventry-Jewel

John Zornow, former president of newark-arcadia historical society and museum, holds a gleam from newark’s past, a shining pendant from the museum’s collection of sarah Coventry jewelry.

these pieces show the richness available to lovers of sarah Coventry jewelry, each piece reflecting a love of color, form and intricacy. the newark-arcadia historical society and museum holds about 500 pieces of the line in its collection.

Chris loveless plans to run for wolcott highway superintendent as an independent.

“i feel we have a very strong chance of winning the general elec-tion,” loveless said.

loveless lost his bid against maybe for the republican slot on the ballot 91 to 72, but discounted the vote, saying that it reflected his opponent’s ability to draw supporters to the caucus more than town resident’s views of the two of them.

loveless said he plans to run on a platform of cutting his depart-ment’s costs and his experience as a general contractor.

“i’ve been running a business,” he said. “i feel there is a lot of money that could be saved in different ways through the highway budget.”

tom agnello said he might run for town Board, or even for wolcott town supervisor, on the independent line.

“i’m still weighing all my options at this point,” he said agnello lost his bid to run for town Board on the republican ticket

to Felker 87 to 65. he said he’d make his decision about running for office on monday or tuesday of this week. if he did decide to run as an independent, he would have had to dash to gather the petitions that allowed him to do so-they had to be in to the wayne County Board of Elections no later than aug. 23.

revolving Fund of the us Environmental Protection agency. savannah applied for the aid through the state Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) and department of health (doh.)

lauderdale says construction firms are preparing to break ground on the project, which is long overdue.

“this system, in its present state of deterioration, will absolutely fail in the future,” he says.

savannah’s water system serves more than 50 percent of its resi-dents, lauderdale says, (the rest have wells) and has long been a concern of town officials. in a nutshell, the system consists of a water treatment plant, water tank, and miles of pipes. much of the system is not entirely adequate for the town’s current needs, or could fail in the future.

savannah began looking into upgrading its water system about eight years ago, lauderdale says, when the state department of health determined that its water treatment plant might not always be up to the job. the plant draws water from the town’s wells, treats it with chlorine, and pumps it out to customers.

“Because we have shallow wells, the department of health has made the finding that we’re likely to be contaminated by ground-water,” lauderdale says.

though tests have found savannah’s water is still safe to drink, doh mandated that the town correct the problem. the town subsequently decided to expand the construction project to encompass the water system’s other problems, and began look-ing for the financial means of doing so. after lots of hard work, lauderdale says, the town was able to secure state approval for the aid package.

the centerpiece of the water project is a new $1 million, 1,000 square-foot water filtration plant. Gregory hotaling, project man-ager for mrB Group, the rochester engineering firm that designed the water system’s upgrades, says well water coming into the new plant would be filtered, treated with ultraviolet light, disinfected, and piped into the community.

“the residents should be getting higher-quality water,” hotaling says.

Construction of the water filtration plant would bring savannah’s water system into compliance with doh regulations, lauderdale says.

Crews would also replace some of the water district’s pipes as part of the water project. some are narrower than they should be, and many are aging-some date back to 1912. Each year, the danger of a breakdown that could require expensive repairs increases.

“if the water district starts to have a series of serious failures, the cost to repair would be astronomical, and must borne by the customers,” he says.

Finally, the project would leave the water district with a new water tank that should serve its customers more adequately. hotal-ing says the current water tank is too low to the ground to serve higher elevations, some of which have only about 25 pounds of water pressure at times, 10 pounds less than the industry standard. the new 60-foot water tower should raise water pressure in the district by about 27 pounds, hotaling says.

savannah resident tammy Carey welcomed the news that the pipes on her street could be replaced. Carey, who lives in the water district with her family, says tree roots poked into the water line in front of her house about three years ago, flooding her basement.

“i had about three feet of water in there,” she says. though crews repaired the pipe, she and other homeowners on

her street continue to suffer from flooding during heavy rains. while her street seems to suffer from poor drainage, she says some of the blame for the flooding might also be laid upon the water system.

“i think it’s because of blocked pipes,” she says. Carey would also welcome better-tasting municipal water. she

says and her family dislikes the taste of what comes out of their taps so much that they drink bottled water.

upgrading the water district’s infrastructure could make savan-nah more attractive to developers, and eventually boost its tax base, lauderdale says. at the same time, it does come with a price tag. though the amounts the district charges its customers varies with their property values and other factors, the project would bring the average annual household charge for water services to $432, he says. By comparison, the district now charges an average $272 a year for its services. lauderdale says the project should take about two years to complete.

hotaling says crews plan to break ground on savannah’s new water filtration plant just after labor day.

williamson’s newest Eagle scout is Josh havranek, son of Josh and angela havranek, of Boy scout troop #90. on august 2, he was recognized at his Eagle Court of honor at the williamson town Park. For his Eagle project, Josh painted sections in the basement of the united methodist Church.

a solar panel system will be installed at the town Complex this fall. it will be located just to the east of the main entrance public parking lot. originally, a 4 0 K w solar system was planned for the project. how-ever, the lowest bid of $169,848 was much lower than expected and may allow a 50 Kw system to be installed instead. a 50 Kw will save approximately 20 percent of the total electric needs of the town Complex. a 40 Kw system will produce ap-proximately 16 percent of the total electric needs.

the town Board is looking at the possibility of having a moni-tor mounted on a wall inside the town Complex which will track and display solar panel system activity at both the town Complex as well as the solar system installed last year at the waste water treatment Plant. the monitor will have a touch screen which will enable the public to navigate through a variety of display options.

the Computer and Electronics recycling event held on satur-day, august 13 at the william-son town Complex was a huge success. a tractor trailer was completely filled with 20,053 pounds of the discarded equip-ment.

sheriffs’ to operate saFE Child

auBurn - sheriff david Gould of Cayuga County announces the operation saFE Child program will be offered again this year at the new york state Fair in syracuse, which runs from aug. 25 through labor day, sept. 5. administered by the new york state sheriffs’ association, this valuable service is free to fami-lies. in less than two minutes, plastic coated cards are created that includes a photograph, index fingerprints, physical de-scription (height, weight, hair and eye color, date of birth), and any medical conditions.

with the authorization of a par-ent, this data is digitally stored on a secure server at the new york state missing and Exploited Children Clearinghouse at the division of Criminal Justice ser-vices. the information is readily available to law enforcement personnel in the event a child becomes missing or is abducted. when used in conjunction with the amBEr alert or a nys miss-ing Child alert, the saFE Child Card serves as an important tool by quickly providing important details to police agencies inves-tigating child disappearances.

sheriff Gould points out that when a child is reported miss-ing, time can be the greatest adversary. Possessing up-to-date photographs and detailed infor-mation about a child assists law enforcement in quickly respond-ing to a child’s disappearance, dramatically increasing the pos-sibility of safely returning a miss-ing child. By the closing date of this year’s new york state Fair, the number of records retained since the program began will exceed 400,000 children.

the operation saFE Child booth is located in the Center of Progress Building. working in conjunction with the new york state sheriffs’ associa-tion, sheriffs from across the state and their deputies have volunteered their time to help families get or update these important cards at no cost, and look forward to meeting you at this popular event.

south Butler Church to Be taken down

south ButlEr - the First Church of Christ disciples building is currently being taken down after many years of discussion.

the church’s congregation traces its roots back to 1831, when eleven residents met and organized the church at the home of lyman hill. the original building was constructed in 1861 at a cost of $3,000. however, the original building burned to the ground in 1916 and was replaced with the current building.

derek loperfido, an associate pastor at lighthouse Church Fellowship, says that the decision to take down the church has not been a quick or easy decision as the lighthouse Church Fellowship has discussed what to do with the building over the past five years. there were many factors that led to the decision such as the building not being handicapped accessible and black mold in the basement. loperfido said that the buildings should fit the ministries rather than ministries fitting the building and it was not cost effective for the church to fix the older building due to the new facilities that were built and they did not want to use the other building just because they had it when the new facilities were able to meet their needs.

there is no set time fame for the church to be taken down and the church is currently getting things out of the building and giving it to former members and those who have family con-nections to the church.

loperfido says there may be plans for the space, but there is nothing definite at this time.

C a y u G a & o s w E G oCovering northern Cayuga and southwestern oswego counties

sign up now for Project lifesaveroswEGo - the oswego Coun-

ty E-911 and sheriff ’s offices are asking residents living with alzheimer ’s disease, down syndrome, dementia, autism and other related disorders to sign up now for the Project lifesaver (Pls) program. this service helps with their rapid location in the event that they walk away from their home or caregiver and become lost.

“we are fortunate to be able to offer the Project lifesaver program to residents in oswego County,” said linda lockwood, chair woman of the Count y legislature’s Public safety and Emergency services Committee, “it provides assurance to fami-lies of loved ones who wander due to cognitive conditions.”

Project lifesaver works with more than 1,200 agencies across the united states, Canada and australia. together they have performed over 2,000 searches in the last 11 years with no seri-ous injuries or fatalities being reported. the u.s. national av-erage recovery time of a missing client is just 30 minutes.

“Project lifesaver provides a quick response to save lives and reduce potential serious injury of our clients,” said oswego County sheriff reuel a. todd.

“the program assists our lo-cal county and municipal law enforcement and public safety organizations with equipment, training and support to aid victims and families living with these disorders.”

Project lifesaver training in-cludes the use of specialized electronic search and rescue equipment as well as teaching rescuers how to communicate with individuals afflicted with these conditions, all of which are essential to a successful rescue.

the oswego County sheriff ’s office recently held a training session for the Pls program at Great Bear springs recreation area in the town of volney.

the exercise began with one deputy taking a transmitter out into the nature park while the remainder of the five-person team “searched” for him. they began the search with a car-mounted receiver designed to pick up a signal within a quar-ter of a mile. the trail eventu-ally became impassable and the team switched to a hand-held device with a scanning radius of one mile.

the search continued to test the functionality and accuracy

of the Pls equipment which was confirmed by the receiver “chirping” out a steady signal from the transmitter. shortly thereafter, the “lost” deputy was found safely.

the training continued with a second exercise. two deputies took the transmitter further into the park and the rest of the team began the search. the “lost” deputies traveled in the opposite direction as the group approached them, prompting the search to continue back to the entrance of the park where they were finally located.

according to deputy Kristy Crast, “this is a very realistic component of a search. when clients on the Pls program wander off, they will likely be confused and disoriented and may not even realize that they are lost. they could become scared and run away from those who are trying to help them.”

this makes the regular checks that are part of the program so important. Pls personnel visit with the client when they change out batteries and wrist-bands and test equipment each month. this gives the client an opportunity to become familiar with the team members who will actually be searching for

them. the aim is that, by building a good rapport, the cl ient wi l l recognize them during an actual search and not be afraid.

in the event of a real emergen-cy, the oswego County sheriff ’s o f f ice Proj e c t l i f e s av e r Pe r-sonnel and the oswego County search and rescue team would be dispatched when the E-911 Emergency Communications Center receives a cal l that someone with a Pls transmit-ter wristband has wandered off. these teams are specially trained to respond with Pls receiver units that pinpoint the lost client’s location.

oswego County maintains a contract with Project lifesaver international, a not-for-profit organization that assists in the location of lost people with cognitive disorders. it provides local law enforcement and pub-lic safety organizations with equipment, training and sup-port while administrative duties associated with the program are performed through the oswego

wayne & Cayuga Counties hit hard by storm heidi smalling | lakeshore news writer

late monday the national weath-er service confirmed what some unfortunate residents of savannah and Conquest already were pretty sure of: the storm that passed through their neighborhoods sunday, august 21 was in fact a tornado.

meteorologists from the Buffalo office of the weather service vis-ited the area to inspect the damage from sunday’s storm after numer-ous reports of funnel clouds being seen. they estimate that an EF2 tornado with top wind speeds of between 115 and 124 mph created the damage that spread across an 11 mile path about 200 yards wide between savannah and Conquest over a 20 minute period.

First reports of storm damage began coming in to the wayne and Cayuga 911 Centers about 3:15 p.m. so many calls that mutual

aid assistance was called in from departments all over the area as emergency and rescue crews tried to clear roadways, secure dangerous situations including downed power lines and propane leaks and comfort shell-shocked residents who literally saw their world turned upside down in a matter of minutes.

on taylor road in savannah, homeowner Karen stewart said she was home with her son and t wo dogs. “ we just hunkered down. it was so loud we didn’t even realize the roof had blown of f.” stewar t ’s home suf fered the most dramatic damage from the storm. roof gone, windows blown out, extensive damage to the back of the two-story structure and an attached shed no longer attached. “and all my beautiful pines.” neighbors were stopping by stewart’s home monday morn-

the King family on Bush rd., Conquest, found pieces of their barn in trees and in a neighbor’s yard.

hurd’s, along slayton rd. suffered little damage to their primary residence, but a mobile home positioned behind their house was blown off its foundation and damage was done to a boat, shed and tractor.

hundreds of trees were damaged by what the national weather service has confirmed was an EF2 tornado.

numerous sheds and outbuildings, along with their contents, were scattered across a wide area.

Bush hill road in Conquest was particularly hard hit.

this shed owned by linda Briggs on route 38 was literally torn from its cement footers.

wayne & Cayuga Counties hit hard by storm ing in a steady stream; checking to make sure the family was okay, offering assistance, stunned by the amount of damage done to the home while properties just a short distance away remained untouched. “i don’t think we’ve ever had this much traffic on this road,” stewart said.

on Bush hill road in Conquest, the King family saw a disturb-ingly dif ferent landscape when they looked out after the storm. “a good section of the barn roof was tangled in the trees and parts of the barn were blown over into the neighbor’s yard, all our trees were gone.”

south of them, aldrich road had to be evacuated for several hours because of a propane leak that occurred when a tank was ripped from its platform. a shelter was set up at the Conquest Fire hall for those residents and others

who found themselves temporar-ily homeless until roadways could be cleared and structures checked for stability.

linda Briggs on route 38 found her shed, secured by cement poles, had blown off its foundation and rolled across her property, its contents, including a lawn tractor, scattered.

By monday morning, cooler tem-peratures and clear skies shone down on cleanup efforts. at a large mennonite farm along route 38, cement was already being poured for footers to replace outbuildings lost in the storm.

officials are checking to see what disaster assistance might be avail-able for victims and local farms that suffered damage. they are encouraging all reports of damage be reported.

wayuga employee Chris akins contributed to this story.

this mobile home along Carncross rd. in savannah was almost hidden by the trees that used to surround it.

the home of the stewart family on taylor rd in savannah suffered the most damage in the area. their two-story home suffered extensive damage including having the roof ripped completely off.

a shed attached to the stewart’s home was blown completely apart and stacked along their yard.

Giant trees on the stewart property were either uprooted or shorn off in the storm.

neighbors and sightseers led a steady line of traffic through the area on monday.

tools and equipment were located and the clean up begins.

Frog Crossing?huron - assemblyman

Bob oaks is questioning why, with the state’s f is-cal crisis, the department of Parks, recreation and historic Preservation has erected 12-foot tall “Frog Crossing” warning signs on roads near several state parks.

oaks also noted that the signs, which state Parks representatives told the me-dia were put up to increase public awareness of biodi-versity, look like they were designed more for traffic control than education.

“usually, signs on a high-way that look like this one, large yellow caution signs, address safety issues. who are we protecting here with a warning about frogs? i am puzzled by Parks and recre-ation’s decision,” the assem-blyman said.” if we want to highlight the variety of plants and animals found in the state it seems we could do that, in better f inancial times, with an off-road kiosk that features educational information,”

the assemblyman viewed a newly-erected “Frog Crossing”

sign on East Bay road near Chimney Bluffs august 16 af-ter receiving a phone call from town of sodus super visor steve leroy. leroy was upset that the state would consider spending money for what he sees as a trivial issue.

“new york state is laying people off and we’re trying to find money for water, and construction projects. it ’s ri-diculous,” leroy said about the frog crossing sign.

a ss emb ly man oak s in January wrote a letter to Governor andrew Cuomo, advising that as part of the 2011-12 state budget, vari-ous costly mandates and other spending should be suspended for two years while the state got its own fiscal house in order and had a chance to review ex-isting mandates and regula-tions.

‘ if that had been done, this proposal for the signs could have been reviewed and vetted properly,” the assemblyman said. “only last year, state park closings were threatened due to lack of money. now limited

state resources have been used on these signs.”

assemblyman oaks has called the state parks department, asking about the rationale for the signs. he said he would follow up his phone call with a letter to Parks, recreation and historic Preservation Commis-sioner rose harvey.

savannah Candidates Bring Experience, attention to water and agricultural issues to the Primary mike Costanza | lakeshore news writer

savannah - recent news from savannah upped the ante for the sept. 13 republican primary and the subsequent general election. supervisor Kenneth lauderdale announced on aug. 17 that the new york state Environmental Facilities Corporation has approved a $2 million grant and a $1.5 million no-interest loan for the town. lauderdale says the money would be used to build a new water filtration plant, replace of much of the aging pipe in savannah’s water dis-trict, and perform other water projects.

Construction of the filtration plant is necessary to bring savannah’s water system into compli-ance with state department of health guidelines. lauderdale says. the town Board would watch over one of the most significant projects the town has undertaken in years, and two of its five seats are up for grabs. its members are addressed as “Councilmen,” or “Councilwomen.”

three hope to run for those seats on the repub-lican ticket. incumbents Julie van leeuwen and John metcalf want the chance to return to the Board in January, and relative newcomer Fred Baker has thrown his hat in the ring for a place on the ballot. town Board members serve for four years, at an annual salary of $2,000.

see page 1 for details of the water project.

John metcalf John metcalf has a simple pledge for savan-

nah’s residents. “i believe in savannah and its future, and i will

continue to give the people equal representation on sound issues,” says metcalf, who hopes savan-nah’s registered republicans will give him the nod to run for town Board for a seventh term.

metcalf was first elected in 1987, and is the old-est and most experienced member of the Board. since he took office, savannah has undergone many transitions, he says, including the creation of three sewer districts. as a Councilman, he has helped guide the town through such projects, he says.

“we have to appropriate and approve the grants that come in, and the bids that come from the construction people that are going to do it,” metcalf says.

“we’re all part of that system when we approve or disapprove of something happening in the town.”

metcalf says he supports the $3.5 million project to upgrade savannah’s water system. in addition to enhancing the water service available to those in the town’s water district, the completed project could make savannah more attractive to outside businesses.

“it would be wonderful if we could get some more industry in town,” he says.

metcalf says he had not intended to run for office again, but decided to do so because he wants to see the water project through.

Public service seems to run in metcalf’s family. his great-grandfather and grandfather both held elected offices for many years in savannah, he says, including seats on the town Board. the savannah resident also gives his time and energy to local organizations. he serves on an advisory panel for the nearby montezuma audubon Cen-ter, which is part of the audubon society, and is a long-time member of savannah masonic lodge #764, and of lyons Elks lodge no. 869.

metcalf spent over 30-years as in the aerospace industry, and is now a semi-retired aerospace quality engineer, he says. the 69-year-old is mar-ried, and a father of four grown children.

Julie van leeuwen

after over three years on the savannah town Board, Julie van leeuwen is ready to run for another term.

“i enjoy working for the town,” she says. van leeuwen first ran for the Board in 2008. her

platform, which she called “cleaning up savan-nah,” called for stricter enforcement of town’s property codes. some properties in savannah, particularly those owned by absentee landlords, were not being properly cared for, she says.

“i was pushing for compliance of the current laws that were on the books,” van leeuwen explained.

after taking office, she pushed for passage of a town law that would hold absentee landlords accountable if their properties were not kept up to code. though the law didn’t pass, van leeu-wen says it had the desired effect on property owners.

“once people realized that we were pretty seri-ous, they began to clean up, (properties)” she says.

van leeuwen also co-founded savannah activi-ties for Everyone, (saFE) while on the Board. the local non-profit provides safe, enjoyable, family-oriented activities for local children and adults at minimal cost to them, she says. saFE also founded a summer sports league for local kids, savannah summer soccer.

if voters send van leeuwen back to the Board next year, she plans encourage savannah resi-dents to support the $3.5 million water project.

“we have people in savannah who don’t want to take out needed loans,” she says.

van leeuwen works as a corrections officer for the wayne County sheriff’s office, and has been with the department for 27 years, she says. the 51-year-old has two grown children.

Frederick Bakeras a member of savannah’s town Board, Baker

says he would work to improve communications within savannah’s government.

“i would like to see better communication through different positions, through board mem-bers, between all facets of local government,” he says.

Baker is no stranger to public service. he was appointed to savannah’s Planning Board when it was formed in 2006, he says, and re-appointed to a second term in 2010. while on the board, he has represented the interests of farmers, who he says are “kind of a forgotten identity.”

“i have a very deep passion for agriculture,” says Baker, who helps operate his family’s farm, Baker Family Farms, in savannah.

Baker says that as a farmer, he views savan-nah’s plan to improve its aging water system as a plus.

“i know how valuable water is,” Baker says. “i also don’t want to see stuff wasted.”

he would also like to see savannah’s water sys-tem extended into more of the town. right now, it serves only that which lies within the town’s water district. outside the district, residents rely on their wells.

“if we could grant to expand the water system without raising taxes, that would be great,” he says.

in addition to farming, Baker cares for residents from the Elmira Psychiatric Center at his savan-nah home. the 47-year-old also coaches youth softball during the season. he is married, and the father of five children.

alfred hines- hermit of sterling swamp

by various contributors

another character of the ster-ling-Fair haven area from the 1930s was alfred hines who befriended a variety of swamp creatures during his summers aboard a houseboat on sterling Creek. the boat he lived on originally came off a sinking freighter.

the steamer Jesska went down about ten miles off Fair haven on october 7, 1926, and the captain and crew of six came ashore at Fair haven in the ship’s lifeboat. after the crew went on their way to oswego and then back to Canada,, the sturdy steel hulled lifeboat be-came the floating home of ster-ling resident alfred “nuggie” hines. (the nickname, “nug-gie” comes from two people who, as children, visited alfred hines at his floating home.)

hines, a carpenter by trade, built a six foot by eighteen foot structure on the lifeboat . the usual dock side tie up for the floating home was in sterling Creek back of the then Floyd waldron farm, a short distance from old state road bridge and some four miles upstream from the lake.

a 1934 newspaper clipping from the archives of historian hallie sweeting titled “Floods

no terror to sterling’s noah lives ta x Fre e on ster l ing Creek” recorded that mr. hines, sterling Creek’s “noah,” outfit-ted his boat with a stove and sleeping quarters. “now he devotes his time to f ishing, growing flowers and vegetables, and gathering relics of the late centuries along lake ontario. he has many spearheads and other indian relics.”

hines was a carpenter, and be-ing lame, his dog would pull a cart with mr. hines’ tools to his carpentry jobs. one news story reported that he has made many utensils out of tin for his use. it also wrote “he makes friends with the squirrels, who come to his window to be fed nuts, and last summer a carp came to the boat each day to be fed bread from his hand.” another account of his life in the marsh says when he moved the boat, a snapper that got regular hand outs followed him to the new location. another news story from 1938, stated, “he pays no rent, has lots of water, and part of the time has a gorgeous moon for a lamp. most of the year he has fish when he cares for them. in cold, wintry weather he keeps his cabin warm with a stove, and is very snug and comfortable.”

“he can enjoy free music from all kinds of birds, who live by the creek. he can also hear the chatter of the squirrels and the hoot of the owl.

“he has no near neighbors running in to borrow sugar or the daily paper or to hang over the back fence and gossip, but taking all things to account, he lives a happy, carefree life. with the coming of spring when nature bursts forth with green leaves and flowers, his back yard is a place worthy of a painter’s brush.”

i’m also looking for information about the following Civil war soldiers:

replicating Fine dining at homerich duncan | lakeshore news

sous vide at homerich duncan | lakeshore news

i will admit that until a few years ago, despite my love for cooking, i had no idea what sous vide was. i would watch those competi-tive cooking shows and without fail, at least one time throughout the season someone would try cooking a dish using a technique called sous vide. so what is it exactly?

sous vide is a technique of cooking by placing a protein such as fish, steak or other meat in a sealed bag and cooking it for a long period of time in hot water. the technique is used to create an evenly cooked piece of meat that is perfectly cooked and retains most of its moisture.

however, for most amateur cooks, this technique is hardly ever used because it requires a lot of expensive equipment like a vac-uum sealer and a special machine. while this is still required for things such as chicken and other meats, cooking website Chow tips says it is possible to utilize this technique for cooking fish without the expensive equipment. here are the quick and easy steps for using sous vide in your own home.

• All you need to do is take a small cut of salmon and place it in a zip loc bag with your desired seasonings (they recommend olive oil or butter).

• Place the bag in cold water, but leave the top of the bag outside the water and use that to remove the excess air and create a tight seal.

• Fill your sink with hot tap water that is about 122 degrees Farenheit and place the bag in the water for 15 minutes, but you can leave it in a little longer if you want.

• Place the thermometer in the center of the fish after this time and make sure it is between 43-48 degrees Celcius, or whatever temperature you normally cook your fish.

• Cook it in a hot pan with butter and other spices for about 20 seconds to finish cooking the fish through and add more flavor. if you feel that the fish needs to be cooked longer, than cook it until it is done to your liking.

i have yet to try this technique for myself, but it comes from an experienced chef and is a way to util ize a cooking technique that used to be exclusively used by fancy restau-rants, but can now be accomplished in your own home.

the living page in the lakeshore news is a rela-tively new aspect of the paper and each week there is a topic that the page centers around such as living “green”, going back to school and much more.however, there is always room for improvement.

Feel free to send any suggestions to editor@wayuga.com with the subject title “living Page” or stop by our offices and let us know.

this is a pork chop recipe that i learned from my mother. often times pork chops can be a little boring, but this is a recipe that i really enjoy and is a little outside the box in terms of traditional pork chop recipes.

1. melt butter in large skillet, over medium heat. season the pork chops with black pepper & garlic powder. Fry the pork chops in butter until no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 to 25 minutes. turn occasionally to brown evenly.

2. remove pork chops to a plate and keep warm. stir the whipping cream into the skillet, loosening and meat stuck at the bottom. stir in blue cheese. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over warm pork chops.

½ teaspoon garlic powder1 cup whipping cream

2 ounces blue cheese crumbled

2 tablespoons butter4 thick cut pork chops½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Pork Chops with Blue Cheese Gravy

For all of the cooking fanatics out there, chances are you have watched one of the numerous cooking shows that now fill the airwaves from top Chef, master Chef, and all of the shows that are on the Food network. however, for the most part, these shows focus on fine dining cuisine and ingredients that are hard to come by and most of the time, quite expensive. this week i want to show you it is not hard to create fine cuisine on a budget and that it is quite possible to replicate those meals without break-ing the bank.

utilize your local markets: your local market has a variety of ingredients that are often reasonably priced. instead of visiting specialty stores that offer exotic ingredients for a hefty price, utilize your local market and farmers stand to get the freshest ingredients for a fraction of the cost.

all about technique: you can take cheaper cuts of meat and work with them until they are similar in quality to more expensive cuts. use a lot of salt on a rough cut of steak 40 minutes before cooking and rinse off the excess before cooking in order to tenderize your steak. if you have a slow cooker, with the right spices and marinades, you can create tender, mouth watering meat-based recipes.

Go straight to the source: sometimes it is cheaper to by meats and produce directly from a local farmer. often times you have to purchase the meat in larger quantities, but you can easily split it with someone you know or freeze the extra.

seasonings: it is a lot easier (and more affordable) to purchase cheaper cuts and use the money you save to purchase spices to flavor the meat. you can easily transform a cheaper cut of meat by be-

ing creative with spices and marinade types.

Choose the right wine: wine is not an essential part of dinner, but if you are throwing a dinner party of some sort, wine is usually present. luckily, we live around numerous local wineries that produce excellent wine that is often relatively inexpensive.

sometimes Cheaper is Better : al-though they require more time, cheaper cuts of meat are often loaded with more flavor (pork shoulder, short ribs, etc). you can also save money by buying meat with the bone in and just removing them yourself.

hopefully these tips encourage you that you can make dishes that seem straight out of a fine dining restaurant but for half the cost.

harvest Fest Plannedsodus - the sodus Chamber

of Commerce is planning for the fourth annual harvest Fest to be held on sept 24, 2011 at the sodus Central school, off rt. 88, in the village of sodus. numerous plans are already un-derway and include a commu-nity pumpkin growing contest (the 2010 pumpkin weighed in at over 300 lbs!)

other plans for the harvest Fest include a baking contest with adult and youth divi -sions with ribbons and prizes awarded. another big hit last year was the produce carving and decorating contest for all ages. Pumpkins, apples, and watermelons were carved or decorated and displayed and ribbons awarded by age groups. if your harvest produce goes astray we will also be display-

ing any “Freaky Fruits” you’d like to share. there will be pumpkin droppin’ and “chuck-in” (but only with owner ’s permission). and we promise to have plenty of seeds on hand for the seed spitting contest so keep practicing.

the traditional arts and crafts merchants will be there with the unusual gifts for Christmas. vendor applications are being taken for just about anything. last year’s vendors had lots of food like warm apple crisp and homemade soup, hots, hamburgs, chicken barbecue and more. the farmer’s market portion was a big hit as well. For more information on vendors applications please see web site at www.sodusny.org under spe-cial events, or call the chamber at 315-576-3818, or email the

chamber14551@yahoo.com. a free wagon ride will again pro-vide the transportation around the track.

and that’s just the beginning, by partnering with the school there will be many things to see and do for the whole family with free activities for the kids. For more information and pic-tures on previous years see our web site at www.sodusny.org

teachers deb Benson (center) and Bonnie hall (right) pose with Jibreel Khazan a member of the Greensboro Four who staged the woolworth’s sit-in during the Civil rights movement.

wolCott - “remember to bring a good pair of walking shoes” was the advice given to summer scholars attending the national Endowment for the humanities sponsored landmarks of american history and Culture workshop: sailing to Freedom: new Bedford and the underground railroad. how prophetic it was. daily the scholars walked the 13 block district in downtown new Bedford, mass. to attend lectures and workshops held in a variety of venues. a trolley tour of the mansions built by whal-ing entrepreneurs and a walking tour of the historic area gave a deep understanding of the impact of the whaling, f ishing and maritime industries in new Bedford in the 1800s that continues to this day.

local teachers, deb Benson and Bonnie hall, at-tended the week long teacher institute in new Bed-ford. in lectures they learned that new Bedford was and continues to be home to many cultures due to the various employment opportunities for all people including maritime / whaling jobs for enslaved indi-viduals seeking freedom. new Bedford was an active abolitionist community that provided protection for these fugitives from slavery.

a walking tour of the abolitionist homes on Beacon hill of Boston started at the monument to shaw’s regiment across from the state house building. the mass. 54th was an all black regiment which fought in the Civil war. (the movie “Glory” was based on this regiment.) at a time when most monuments and statues honored the commanding officer, this one is unique as it shows also the men he led. the tour ended outside of the african meeting house which is undergoing renovations and has been purchased by the african american museum next door.

the us Constitution, known as “old ironsides” and the maritime museum was the next stop. Participants toured the ship, then visited the museum to learn about life at sea and more maritime history.

one evening was devoted to readings of the words of freedom seeking refugees interspersed with negro spirituals. invited guests included Jibreel Khazan of the Greensboro Four, who staged the woolworth’s sit-in activity for the Civil rights movement in 1960.

visits to the new Bedford Free Public library and the umass/dartmouth library gave participants a chance to work with primary source documents. Participants were also given an opportunity to learn techniques to facilitate teaching and understanding of the subject matter. these techniques can be used in the classroom in a variety of ways across the cur-riculum.

Exhausted but inspired, our local teachers returned home ready to incorporate their new information into their classrooms. always ones to follow directions, these ladies were very glad they had remembered to wear their good walking shoes!

they are available to speak to groups about this adventure as well as about their previous experiences in Colonial williamsburg and mount vernon.
