Snapping out of it

From the mailbagA man of his wordTo the editor:

As parents, we are always looking for ways to reinforce the core values that we want our children to have. One of the key values that we strive to have our children live is that you keep your word. While attending one of the summer football practices, Coach Green was ending the practice with the players lined up on the sidelines telling them that “one should say what they are going to do and do what they said they would”; that is keep your word. Green went on to explain that he had told them if they worked hard in practice that they would not have to run the end of practice. He saw that the players played hard that day and thus no running required. What a great lesson!

At the spring meeting for football last year when Green announced the coaching staff, the practice schedule and the activities the boys would undertake to get ready for the upcoming season, he stated that if there was anyone who wanted to go on to play college football, he and the coaching staff would do whatever they could to help and support you in this endeavor. For our son James, Green held true to his word and helped James get an offer to play college football.

Coach Green actually did more than hold true to his word, he was persistent from the end of the season until James got an offer. He started by reaching out to his former coach at SU – Coach Mac to inform him of James. Mac called Kelly at Georgetown and passed along Green’s assessment of James. In his conversation with Kelly, Green was very direct in what he asked of him. He asked him to help get James in school, give him

a spot on the team and if he proved himself, then give him a scholarship. Green and Sindoni then spent time guiding us through the process of get-ting the information together required of college football recruits. Green continued to reach out to Kelly to make sure that James did not get lost in the shuffle.

In our various conversations with Kelly, he gave us no guarantees, but he did say that if he had a spot open he would ask James to play at Georgetown. He reiterated this point to Coach Green; no guarantees, but if a spot opens up then I will give it to James.

On the evening of Feb. 16, 2011, James found out that Coach Kelly was true to his word, just as Coach Green told the players in summer. He told James he had a spot for him and that he would be getting a letter from the Dean of Admissions. Lat-er in the month, James got the letter which among other things said that Georgetown had received 19,000 applicants for the 2015 class which would have 1580 incoming freshman.

The Dean of Admissions said that at the request of Kelly, the Admissions Committee had reviewed his application and found him to “likely to be admitted.” Yesterday, James got the admis-sion letter.

The lesson of true to your word continues.Coach Green has kept his word in shar-

ing his passion for football and helping all of our sons find success inside and outside of football. Thanks, Tim.

Now let us all keep our word in supporting Skaneateles football, Coach Green, the entire staff and the players.

GeorGe and ellen Smith

What a cold snap we’ve had since last Wednes-day’s snowfall. My son skied two days at Song Mountain and said the conditions were excellent. In fact, they were proba-bly the best of the winter. Even the natural snow trails were in good shape.

The ducks have mostly moved on to other abodes. I saw a group of 12 ducks moving north. ‘Twas too early to see the critters clearly, so I identified them as black ducks. They were obviously puddle ducks and had a profile similar to a Mallard. I couldn’t see any white sides, so, therefore, they were black ducks. If anyone has another guess, give me a call.

Mr. Lemon has had a session of “spring break” at the Wags Motel and Dog Camp. He seemed to have had a good time, but when my granddaughter Victoria showed up to bring him home he was ex-tremely excited to jump into Molly’s car for the trip to East Lake Road. We picked him up on our way back into town that night.

I spent Friday morning in Connecticut with Dana Hewson, Curator for Watercraft and Vice Presi-dent of Watercraft Preservation Programs at Mystic Seaport. We discussed the procedures involved in getting Lightning #1 back to Skaneateles for the grand opening of the Skaneateles Boat Museum at the Creamery.

This is the culmination of five years of conver-sations which started with “Not ever in a hundred years” to a workable renewal loan arrangement for a minimum of one year until whenever they get orga-nized to stage their big exhibit titled Olin Stevens: 60 Years of Yacht Design. Olin and the museum were very close the last 25 years of his life.

A lot of credit goes to Laurie Winship, Director of the Skaneateles Historical Society, who worked

out all the details of a multi-page application for an artifact loan. After lots of talks, the Seaport decided that the folks in Skaneateles had constructed a venue suitable for the display of such a significant artifact of the modern sailboat era. The pictures of the inte-rior of the boiler plant and the specifications of our alarm system satisfied their concerns.

Luckily, I was also able to present the insurance certificate for the boat hauler who will provide the insurance coverage in transit between here and there. Arranging the insurance coverage of some-thing that the Historical Society doesn’t own for transit and while on display was rather difficult. There is reluctance on the part of many capable, interested people that do not want to be responsible for a pile of sticks or charcoal alongside the highway if the unbelievable were to happen. All the insur-ers in the world would not replace Lightning #1. A replica built from salvage pieces and parts would not be #1. Over 15,452 Lightnings have been built and they are continuing to be built, so having #1 is truly significant.

Hopefully, the presence of #1 at the Skaneateles Boat Museum will draw local residents and out-of-town visitors to the museum. The community can take pride in having had a thriving boat building industry in Skaneateles for many years.

The SCS choral music teachers (Mickey Kringer, Coleen Anna, Nancy Fortais, student teacher Mat-thew Jones and accompanist Anna Egert) have done it again, with the spring choral concert at the high school. For the finale, every singer from grades 5-12 was on the stage. Each group sang a verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic and the whole group did the chorus. It was magnificently well worth the time commitment to stay for the whole show and it held all the parents to the end. It also demonstrates that music in our schools is truly a good community investment.

Warm weather warnings

Now that we’re officially into spring, it is also time to re-assess our surroundings. Children are out in force, playing in their yards, walking or riding their bikes along the road and, basically, revelling in the fine weather.

Make sure to take care when driving, especially near schools and parks. It only takes one moment of inatten-tion to cause a tragedy.

Also, cast your eyes upward as you walk around your yard. Are there any branches that have broken and are dangling? This can pose a hazard to yourself and your family. Then look down to see what shape your driveway, sidewalks and front walkway are in. Did they survive the winter snow? Or are there cracks and holes in their surface? Fixing them now can help avert a dangerous situation.

This is a good time to get your lawn mower sharp-ened and tuned up. If your mower quits, do not reach into the blade, as many catastrophes have resulted from a stuck blade coming loose. When using a riding mower, keep cognizant of your surroundings. Listen-ing to music while mowing can pose a distraction from those around you.

While it’s important to mind these warnings, it is also important to get outside and enjoy the all-to-brief wonders of spring - catch a baseball game, walk around Green Lakes or visit Beaver Lake Nature Center or get some weeding done. The fresh air will do you good!

Marcellus Memories

50 years ago, 1961 “Memories of Marcel-

lus” by Frank Griffing went as follows… This week I will tell you about teasels. George Phillips, my wife’s grandfather, came over from England in 1833. He brought teasel seeds with him and settled on West Hill. He sowed the seed in 1834, and as it takes two years to grow a crop, he harvested his first crop in 1835 and in the fall, he went down east where the large woolen mills were at that time and sold his crop and came home and trimmed and packed the teasels in large boxes and shipped them and that was the begin-ning of raising teasels in Marcellus and Skaneateles. Teasels were a good money crop when farmers got three or five dollars a thousand, ten lbs. made a

thousand. I do not believe they were grown in any other place in the state, other than in Marcellus and

Skaneateles. Gallop Broth-ers of Marcellus were large buyers of the teasels. They had a number of women and men trimming and packing the teasels in the boxes to be shipped. Carl Wood owned the build-ing that was used for trimming. When I was a boy, I worked for George Stuckey and he raised teasels, so I know how it was done. I believe there are some teasels grown now in Oregon and some in France. The last teasels that I know of

raised around here were grown by Jack Byrne on Limeledge Road and Will

Rickard on Rickard Road.

As indicated one year ago, the purpose of this change is to honor more students who have excelled in their studies at a time when graduating classes are growing in size. The Hon-ors Group is composed of those students who have in January of their senior year earned a 3 ½ year grade point average of 3.5 (A minus) or higher, and are eligible to receive NYS Regents Diplomas. This year the Honors Group includes the following stu-dents: David Bush, David Driver, Rose Anne Frost, Dawn Harkness, Roberta Little, Elizabeth McNally, Susan Raynor, Christopher Wiles, David Smith and Mary Ann Wilcox.

Assemblyman responds to state budget passing

Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C,I — Pulaski) issued the following state-ment after the budget passed when session continued late into the night:

“I’m pleased the budget was enact-ed — on time and without new taxes. By no means was this an ideal plan, but it is the first budget that reflects the economic difficulty New York has faced over the last three years. Previ-ous leaders refused to deal with the financial reality, which is why cuts in state aid this year are severe. I am hopeful that the tough choices made this year will set the state on a new course — one that creates jobs and

grows our economy. Job growth would restore funding to those areas and programs which experienced steep cuts this year — such as healthcare and education. This budget closes the deficit, enacts a better Power for Jobs plan, decreases spending and does not create new borrowing. All of these are important to the overall health of our state, and are priorities I have long fought for. Moving forward, we need to create mandate relief for local gov-ernments and school districts, which would help lower property taxes for New Yorkers and keep residents and jobs here.”

5 Skaneateles grad Americorps volunteerKatherine Figura, a 2005 gra-

date of Skaneateles High School, is one of 240 young people pledging to perform 10 months of public service throughout the country as part of the 17th class of the National Civil-ian Community Corps, an Ameri-Corps program.

As a corps member, Figura will spend 10 months getting things done for America and its communi-ties. Figura and her team will work on four projects involving environ-mental conservation, infrastructure improvement, urban and rural development, energy conservation

and disaster relief. For Figura, it is a sense of social

responsibility that motivates her to serve.

“I am motivated to serve my com-munity because I feel it is my civic duty to give back and to offer help to those less fortunate.”

She was also seeking a deeper learning experience.

“I wanted to see different parts of the country, and have a better un-derstanding of some of the harsher realities that many Americans face,” Figura said.

After her 10-month stint, Figura

will graduate from NCCC on No-vember 17, 2011, with an education award of $5,550, which can be used to continue education or pay back student loans.

Figura, a resident of Mottville, graduated from Cornell University this past spring and is currently in-volved in a six-week service project at a Maryland state park.

AmeriCorps NCCC is a leader-ship program for people ages 18 to 24. Interested applicants and project sponsors are encouraged to learn more by visiting americorps.gov/nccc or calling 1-800-942-2677.

RE/MAX welcomes Jeanine Larose

St. Joseph’s to hold annual galaEvent to be held at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino June 3

St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation will host its annual black tie optional gala dinner dance on June 3. The event, which netted more than $304,381 last year, will be held at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino with a “green and silver eco-chic” theme.

The theme celebrates the first stage of one of the largest “green” building projects in Upstate New York – St. Joseph’s emergency services building – as well as the 20th year of successful galas held to support St. Joseph’s many programs and services.

Presenting sponsor is Central New York Infusion Services, LLC; gala co-chairs are Drs. Susan Merola-McConn and Mark McConn, and Dr. Alan and Mrs. Deborah Simons.

Cocktails begin at 6:45 p.m. in the event center atrium with dinner to follow at 8 p.m. in the main ballroom. Dancing will be to the live music of Atlas.

In addition, this year’s gala features “Champagne ‘On Ice’” by Cazenovia Jewelry. One lucky guest will take home a pair of one-carat total weight diamond stud earrings. 100 guests will have the opportunity to purchase a glass of champagne for a $75 dona-tion to St. Joseph’s Hospital Founda-tion. Each glass will contain a pair of stud earrings; however, only one glass will contain “real” diamonds. Ralph Monforte of Cazenovia Jewelry will be on-site to tell you if yours are “the real thing,” or simply an elegant pair of cubic zirconias.

Proceeds from the gala are used to support St. Joseph’s programs and ser-vices. Tickets to the event are $200 per person; $300 per patron and $3,000 per patron table. A discounted room rate is available at Turning Stone until May 3, for those attending St. Joseph’s gala.

To RSVP by May 6, contact St.

Joseph’s Hospital Foundation at 315-703-2137 or e-mail [email protected]. For more information, visit the website at sjhsyr.org/foundation.

Auburn Players to ask: ‘What would you do if you were left $10 million?’In Auburn Player’s production of

“The Curious Savage” by John Patrick, Mrs. Savage is left a large estate by her late husband. She wishes to use the money to help others; however, her greedy stepchildren want to use the money for personal gain. In attempts to obtain the money, they have Mrs. Savage committed to a sanatorium, declaring her mentally incompetent.

While in the sanatorium Mrs. Savage

meets a group of social misfits. These individuals have hearts of gold but can-not adjust themselves to the outside world. This heartfelt comedy reminds the audience that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection can sometimes be found in the least likely of places.

Taking place in the 1940s, the set will take the audience to a bygone era, but resonate with a classic theme.

The production will run at 8 p.m.

Friday April 8 and Saturday April 9, and at 2 p.m. Sunday April 10 at the Irene Bisgrove Theater at Cayuga Com-munity College, 197 Franklin Street, in Auburn.

Tickets are $12 general admission and $10 senior/student. Group rates are available and reservations are taken at the box office, which can be reach at (315) 258-8275.

Demonstrating humanitarian spiritThe Cayuga County Chapter of the

American Red Cross met with youth around Auburn this week to accept checks on behalf of the Japan Disaster Relief. Chief Operating Officer Renée Smith and Board Member Joe Vitale accepted a donation of $585 from the students at Owasco Elementary School during their character education assembly this week. The students participated as part of a “Wear Green, Give Green” fundraising effort led by speech therapist Ken Sargent, kindergarten teacher Amy Bryan and the entire character education committee. The fundraiser kicked off on St. Patrick’s Day and concluded on March 31.

Additionally, during a recent Boy Scout Pinewood Derby, Boy Scout and Cub Scout members from Pack 6, Troop 21 led their own fundraiser of collecting money for the Japan Disaster Relief. Scout leader John Cummings indicated that the young men thought of the idea and implemented it on their own and was pleased that the seeds of giving back to others had really taken hold with this group of youth. Jarred Cum-mings, Jacob Cummings, Jimmy Dauen-hauer, Kyle Wilmot, Shane McGregor and Owen Sparing led efforts to hand out flyers and speak to attendees at the Derby about their fundraiser. The young men presented their check for $81 to the Cayuga County Chapter of the American Red Cross on behalf of the Cayuga County District Boy Scouts of America.

The local Red Cross applauds the ef-forts of these young heroes in our com-munity for their humanitarian spirit and selflessness. To date, the local Chapter has received $1,686 from the community

on behalf of the Japan Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts. The Japanese Red Cross has deployed nearly 425 medical teams consisting of more than 3,000 people who are working through hospitals, mobile clinics and other health facilities to provide medical care and counseling for survi-vors. Nonmedical volunteers are running

soup kitchens, using bicycles to check on residents and delivering relief items. The Japanese Red Cross is also offering coun-seling and emotional support to survivors who have lost their homes and traditional way of life. Approximately 174,000 people are staying in shelters at this time.

The Red Cross’s Cayuga County Chap-

ter, a nonprofit and not a government agen-cy, depends on voluntary contributions of time and money to perform and achieve its humanitarian mission for the 81,000 citizens of Cayuga County. For more infor-mation on the Red Cross, call 315.252.9596 or email [email protected].

Hope springs eternalChiefs return to Alliance Bank Stadium April 13

By Russ Tarby

With a baker’s dozen returning players, a new no-nonsense manager and several proven sluggers, the Syra-cuse Chiefs appear primed to make a run at the 2011 International League playoffs.

The last time Syracuse made the IL playoffs was in 1998. The Chiefs last won their division in 1989, and last won the Governor’s Cup championship in 1976.

The Chiefs are now in their third year as the top affiliate of the Washing-ton Nationals.

New manager Randy Knorr, who played with the Chiefs in the early-1990s before becoming a journeyman major-league catcher, expects pitching to be the Chiefs’ strong suit.

Hurlers with previous Triple-A ser-vice here include right-handers Collin

Balester, Adam Carr, Yunesky Maya, J.D. Martin, Garrett Mock, Craig Stam-men and Josh Wilkie along with lefties Ross Detwiler and Matt Chico.

Righty Cole Kimball and lefty Tom Milone are up from Double-A Harris-burg, and southpaw Lee Hyde is here from the IL’s Gwinnett Braves.

Catcher Jesus Flores missed all of last season with an arm injury, but Knorr hopes Flores can flourish in Triple-A after hitting .364 in Double-A in 2009. Back-up catcher Carlos Maldonado played for Syracuse last year, while third-stringer Jhonatan Solano played here two years ago.

A newcomer, left-handed power-hit-ter Michael Aubrey, will DH and play some first base. Last year he knocked out 22 home runs, two triples and 25 doubles for the IL’s Norfolk Tides.

Chiefs infielders include 21-year-old

Girls lax Lakers rally past Marcellus again

By Phil Blackwell [email protected]

Nothing new in this tale – once again, the Ska-neateles girls lacrosse team snatched a victory from main rival Marcellus.

So many times in recent years, both in the regular season and the playoffs, the Lakers have found a way to beat the Mustangs in an exciting manner, and Thursday night’s 9-8 vic-tory at Marcellus was no different.

Once down by four goals in the second half, the Lak-ers stormed back, pulled even - and won it when, with 2.2 seconds to play, senior Dianne Vitkus slid a shot past Mustang goalie Renee Poullott.

Skaneateles begins 2011 determined to regain the Section III Class C title it ceded to Carthage a season ago. Though Maddy Mor-rissey is now at Duke, most of the starting lineup is back, including two juniors who just made Division I verbal commitments - Shelby McNeilly to Cor-nell, Carly Davis to North Carolina.

To start with, the Lakers had to face Marcellus - and especially had to deal with senior Nora Barry, arguably the top player in Central New York. The Florida-bound senior had opened the season with six goals (surpassing the 200-goal mark for her career) as the Mustangs romped past Ci-cero-North Syracuse 17-3 two nights earlier.

Skaneateles was effective

in this task in the first half, keeping Barry off the board as they double-teamed her and, at times, had as many as four defenders tracking her every move. In turn, the Lakers dictated the game’s tempo, never letting Mar-cellus go at a faster pace.

Yet despite this, and despite two goals from Davis and one from Vitkus, Skaneateles could not hold three different leads in the first half. Marcellus saw Catherine Nolan convert twice, with Ellen Brooks and Molly McGuane also scoring, to take a 4-3 lead to the break.

Then Barry made things worse, finally breaking loose early in the second half for three consecutive goals to make it 7-3. Just when the Lakers looked finished, though, McNeilly countered with her own goal just 14 seconds after Barry got the hat trick, and the comeback began.

A yellow card gave the Lakers a power play where, in a 15-second span, Davis and Erin Callahan con-verted to slash the margin to 7-6 before Barry’s fourth goal with 11:19 left restored the margin. But that would be the Mustangs’ last goal of the night as goalie Shannon Byrne, along with defend-ers Sharon Adams, Elyce Buell and Sheila Gaffney, picked up their level of play in the homestretch.

Meanwhile, Taylor Kerr scored with 6:21 left to cut it to 8-7. When another yel-low card left the Mustangs a player short, Skaneateles took full advantage as, with

52.3 seconds left, McNeilly beat Poullott for the tying goal.

Skaneateles won the en-suing draw, worked down the clock and drew a foul with 5.6 seconds to play. Callahan had the free-posi-tion shot, but had enough time to make a move on a defender, then pass it to a wide-open Vitkus, who slid it past Poullott for the game-winner.

In total contrast to the drama in Marcellus, Ska-neateles rolled through Saturday’s home opener against Cazenovia, smash-ing that other group of Lakers 19-5.

Attacking hard against a vulnerable Cazenovia defense, Skaneateles scored 12 times in the first half. Meanwhile, the defense did a superb job on Cazenovia’s top player, Gabby Jaquith, holding her to two assists.

Emma Ford stepped up on the offensive end, matching Vitkus with four goals and two assists, while Davis also found the net four times. McNeilly added her own three-goal hat trick, plus an assist, while Callahan got a goal and two assists. Kerr and Ni-cole Beaston had the other goals.

Skaneateles now gets another full week to prac-tice and work on its game before next Monday’s re-match with Cazenovia at the Fenner Street complex – followed immediately by a home game with long-time Class A power Fayetteville-Manlius on April 12.

Skaneatles senior Dianne Vitkus defends sophomore Molly McGuane of Marcellus.

A method for the madnessFive weeks ago in this space, I offered

the notion that March, and college bas-ketball’s post-season, ar-rived with a large dose of uncertainty about it, that there was no super team, that the upcoming NCAA Tournament would surprise and confound us before it was done.

Well, I turned out wrong. It wasn’t sur-prising or confounding. It was downright shocking.

Okay, some people thought Connecti-cut would stay hot and that Kentucky would continue its late surge and get to Houston. But Butler again? Virginia Commonwealth? What is going on here?

The Rams’ run to the Final Four, after being one of the last four teams in the field and forced to play an extra round, drew particular attention, as much for the vehement criticism that followed Shaka Smart and company everywhere.

Right from the moment the selections were announced, commentators and

columnists tripped over each other flogging VCU and griping that the likes of Virginia Tech and Colo-rado weren’t selected. They questioned the tournament committee’s intelligence, among other potshots.

And even after the Rams’ extraordi-nary performance in the Dance, these same “experts” lined up again to take one more whack, begging the NCAA to never, ever let the tournament expand again. Better to point fingers elsewhere than admit you were wrong about VCU.

All this has caused me to ponder the very nature of the tournament and its components – power conferences, mid-majors, and everything in between. Then I would ask the question – how big should

Hematology-Oncology Associates provides the highest level of quality careSince 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 practitio-ners/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 pa-tients 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 Syracuse facility also houses the CyberKnife, the world’s most

accurate radiosurgery weapon, which painlessly treats tumors with minimal effects on nearby healthy cells.

Syracuse Home specializes in short-term rehabilitation In a blink of an eye, Mi-

chelle Rurka’s life changed forever. 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 the hospital weeks later, she chose Syracuse Home’s short-term rehabilitation to help her recover from her injuries. “I am so grateful for the care I re-ceived at Syracuse Home. The therapists are well-trained, supportive and committed to helping us return home to our fami-lies,” says Rurka.

Syracuse Home’s com-prehensive short-term rehabilitation has rapidly become one of Central New York’s most rec-ommended programs.

Short-term rehabilitation at Syracuse Home fo-cuses on recovery by help-ing individuals build the strength, independence and confidence they need to return home.

The professional reha-bilitation therapies staff works with individuals with orthopedic condi-tions resulting from elec-tive surgeries like hip or knee replacements or injuries such as multiple fractures resulting from accidents.

Physical and occupa-tional therapies develop skills that enable resi-dents to lead independent lives. “After my accident, I never thought I would walk again. Within three weeks of rehabilitation, I returned home. Words cannot describe how won-derful 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 recom-mend Syracuse Home for short-term rehabilitation,” says Rurka.

Occupational therapies address muscle strength, range of motion, plus cog-nitive and visual skills that enhance every day ac-tivities. When appropriate, speech therapies address treatment and manage-ment of communication impairments as well as swallowing disorders.

Located on a beautiful 150-acre campus in histor-ic Baldwinsville, Syracuse Home offers a full continu-um of healthcare programs and services for seniors including; independent retirement living, assisted living, memory care, re-spite care, skilled nursing care and short-term reha-

bilitation. As a not-for-prof it

Because ear-ly detection is a key to survival,

Seneca Federal: Navigating economic changes, same solid community foundationKatrina Russo, President

– CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Asso-ciation is very passionate

about her community bank and its solid decision mak-ing. 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 finan-cial industry and we’re proud of it. Given the competitive environ-ment and state of to-day’s economy, within which Seneca Federal operates, the asso-ciation 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 unem-ployment rates, a rising number of foreclosures, declining home prices and contractions in business and consumer credit. The unemployment rate locally was slightly below the na-tional average, which was 9.4 percent in December

2010.” She explained that in

2010, the association con-tinued to have strong as-set quality based on the association’s conservative underwriting standards and diligent monitoring of delinquent and nonper-forming loans.

“We have remained committed to our charter of fostering homeownership during 2010 by originating over $12.4 million in resi-

dential mortgage loans,” she said. “Our net interest income is above last years’ level and we have maintained liquidity while pre-paring our balance sheet for the risk of inflation, and expanding our resi-dential mortgage loan business as well as to invest in what management believes will be a future higher rate

environment.” The association’s oper-

ating expenses are below last year’s level as a result of various factors includ-ing the completion of the final phase of the succes-sion plan, developed by the board over four years ago.

“The succession plan was a slow, seamless pro-cess that was completed in mid 2010. We were able to

it is important to see your dentist regularly. ViziLite Plus with TBlue, used in conjunction with a routine head and neck examination performed by your dentist, can help to find abnor-malities that could lead to cancer. That’s the kind of screening that could help save lives.How does ViziLite Plus work?

The ViziLite Plus exam is a painless exam that your dental professional can per-form in just a few minutes. ViziLite Plus uses a light

source that helps to im-prove the examiner’s ability to identify abnormalities that may have been missed under normal lighting. Your dental professional will conduct the exam as follows:

1. First your dental pro-fessional will exami=ne your mouth and look for any abnormalities.

2. Next, you will rinse with a solution that will help your dental profes-sional conduct the ViziLite Plus exam.

3. Then, your dental pro-fessional will examine your mouth using ViziLite.

4. If a suspicious lesion is detected, it will be marked with TBlue, a blue dye, and documented.What will my dentist see?

Most of the time your dental professional will conduct a thorough oral cancer screening examina-tion that includes ViziLite Plus, and will see that everything looks com-pletely normal. That is good news!

However, there may be times when your den-tal professional identifies something that looks ab-normal. At that point, your dental professional will use their expertise and may ask you to come back in a few weeks to follow up, or may refer you to an oral surgeon for a biopsy.One American dies every hour from oral cancer.

The typical risk factors for oral cancer such as tobacco use and chron-ic alcohol consumption may be commonly known, however a new risk factor called HPV is now chang-

ing the face of oral cancer. HPV has long been known to cause cervical cancer in women and recent studies show that it may play a role in more than 25 percent of oral cancer cases.

The human papilloma virus is a common sexually transmitted virus that is thought to be causing oral cancer in an increasingly younger patient popula-tion. Few people, if any, even know they have it. That is why your dentist recommends a potentially life saving screening exam called ViziLite Plus.

During April, this $50 procedure will be offered at $25 in recognition of Oral Cancer Awareness Month. If you are looking for a den-tal provider, Dr. Shapero is featuring a New Patient Special. Receive a free exam with cleaning and X-ray. Offer ends July 1, 2011.

navigate our own internal changes while also navigating all the various changes in the economy and banking regula-tions,” 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 com-mitted 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 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 compli-ance, 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 association will continue an ongoing commitment to educate and train its employees regarding new and changing compliance regulations to better assist both customers and noncustomers.

She believes that it’s reassuring for members to know our officers and employees have the capability and initiative to successfully implement programs required by the complex regulatory environment. This ability is just as necessary as financial performance in keeping community banks viable as dictated by the federal examination process.

Russo said, “The association remains continued com-mitment to the financial needs of our members regardless of economic conditions here or nationwide. Whether the need is for home ownership (regardless of income level),

home refinancing, auto loans and other consumer loans, business needs, or our community and charitable financial support, Seneca Federal will be here.”

CANCERBEWARE

“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, dis-traught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. �en 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.

Skaneateles riding team heading to NationalsBy Ned Campbell

With a highly success-ful year of riding under its belt, The Emerald City Equestrian Team, based in Skaneateles, will travel to the national competition April 28 in Maryland.

The top 17 teams (out of 36) in the ECET’s zone recently competed at the Zones Finals Horse Show at Alfred University, and the Skaneateles team finished place overall. Skaneateles riders Karen Osborn and Casey Abbene-Meagley qualified individually for Nationals.

Ava Gurney and Casey Abbene-Meagley won year-end awards for hav-ing the most points out of all riders in their divi-

sion. “Overall, all of our rid-

ers had a great year,” Pad-dock said.

T he E me r a l d C it y Equestrian Team practices at Affinity Farms and is open to riders in grades 6-12. Riders can come from any local riding program. Coaches are Sara Pad-dock, Kim Allan and Meg Maloney.

The team is a part of the Interscholastic Eques-trian Association, whose

concept was drawn from the highly successful In-tercollegiate Horse Show Association in order to prepare high school and middle school students for college level riding. The IEA prides itself on introducing students to the equestrian industry and therefore provides competitive riding for the novice level rider (walk, trot, canter) all the way up to the more advanced open 2’6” jumping divi-

sions. Through the IEA, stu-

dents have the oppor-tunity to win scholar-ships towards their college education. The IEA also provides students the op-portunity to be recognized by college coaches and recruiters. To learn more about the team or the IEA, email Sara Paddock at [email protected].

County Executive introduces penguin chickCounty Executive Joanne M. Ma-

honey joined the staff at the Rosa-mond Gifford Zoo July 1 to introduce one of the zoo’s Humboldt penguin chicks.

“I am pleased to announce that two penguin chicks have hatched at the zoo this year,” said the county executive. “It’s a testament to the dedication and expertise of our staff that in six years, 28 penguin chicks have hatched at the Rosamond Gif-ford Zoo.”

The 27th penguin chick, belong-ing to parents Poquita and Frederico, hatched on March 19, followed by its sibling on March 22. The gender of the chicks is unknown; a blood test is required to determine their sex.

As in previous years, the Rosa-mond Gifford Zoo will be work-

ing with the Species Survival Plan (SSP) to send some of its chicks to other zoos in order to maximize the genetic diversity of Humboldt penguins in zoos across the country and Canada.

“As more zoos open Humboldt penguin exhibits across the country, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo contin-ues setting the standard for penguin husbandry and welfare in an effort to preserve this endangered species,” said Ted Fox, curator at the zoo.

Humboldt penguins are named after the Humboldt Current, a cold, nutrient-rich ocean current that flows along the west coast of South America. Humboldt penguins are endangered with only 12,000 to 30,000 remaining in the wild.

He was also very active in the Rotary District level as the Governor’s Representa-tive, and later as Assistant governor for the eight clubs that made up the south west corner of district 7150.

Born in Gary, Ind., on July 31, 1917, Bill moved to Spafford when he was five years old. Raised on a dairy farm, he was one of the students in Spafford’s one-room schoolhouse and went on to graduate from Morrisville College in 1939 with a degree in dairy science. He became the owner of the

Borodino IGA Grocery Store in 1945 and then went on to build Marcellus Lanes with his brother George Fesko in 1959. He was also one of the founders of the Borodino Volunteer Fire Department and proudly served the com-munity for many years.

Bill is survived by his three children – Con-nie Klassen, Gail Shenfeld and Chip Fesko, and four grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife of 44 years, Agnes Hribick Fesko, in 1991.

They resided in Syracuse from 1940-1942, Troy from 1947-1950, Syracuse from 1950 – 1978 and Skaneateles from 1979–2011. They were happily married for 70 years and possessing an adventurous and independent spirit traveled and sailed regularly to their favorite parts of the world. A lover of the outdoors, Marnie, loved hik-ing, birding, canoeing, and spending sum-mers in Maine with Pidge and her children and grandchildren.

Marnie always found ways to give back to others. She was a breast cancer survivor

and worked in hospitals counseling other women dealing with the disease. Mar-nie was a trustee of Syracuse Memorial Hospital (now Crouse), President of the Huntington Family Service Agency, mem-ber of the Jr. League of Syracuse, an elder at Park Central Presbyterian Church and a deacon at the first Presbyterian Church of Skaneateles, as well as an Honorary Life Member of the Presbyterian Women of the Presbyterian Church USA.

Skaneateles Rod and Gun Club News By Wayne Lear

Three riflemen met at our range at 0900, Saturday, Mar. 26, to par-ticipate in our regular weekly high power match. The temperature was 22 degrees, the sky had big white clouds and the wind was out of the north-west, making the wind chill factor down around Moravia. We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match, as fired at the National Matches. Dave Spearing won the match, and would have won a silver medal at Camp Perry, by hitting 92-1X+93-1X+87=272-2X’s with his Springfield made 1898 .30-40 Krag-Jorgensen, and we all congratulate him. I fired my ’03-A3 and hit 88-1X+94+70-1X=252-2X’s. Chuck Chernoff fired his Springfield made 1898 .30-40 Krag-Jorgensen and hit 81+53-1X+77-1X=211-2X’s. We all went to the fine Willow Glen Café for beverages after the match. Brittany and Lynn kept our cups filled and I paid. We thank both of them.

On Monday night, March 28, twenty trap shooters, including one lady and one junior, had a cold practice. The sun was on us, but the north wind’s chill factor was down around Locke. The beautiful Swedish sister in trap house one threw the targets without a complaint, but the wind made some targets do the jig, making hits hard to come by, and some shooters used it as an excuse for missing.

There were no perfect scores but Tom Main hit 24. Karen Graham was our lady shooter. She hit 16. Justin Slater was the junior shooter. He hit 23 and 22. Congratulations to you all.

Tuesday night, March 29, nine hand gunners participated in the ending shoot-off of the winter league. No one fired center fire, not even George Newton. The battery driven sight on his .38 went dead, and he had to shoot his .22 rim fire as we had to. We all fired three courses of fire, in five shot increments, each course consisting of ten shots. We shot ten shots slow fire in ten minutes, ten shots timed fire (20 seconds for five shots, reload, and five more shots in 20 seconds.) and then, ten shots rapid fire (10 seconds for 5 shots, reload, and five more shots in 10 seconds). We all did this three times for a total of ninety shots, with the following results:

Chuck Chernoff 750-5X’s — Year’s average for 30 shot matches 263.28; Dick Bailer 738-4X’s — Years average for 30 shot matches 227.32; Lynn Lepak 730-5X’s — Years average for 30 shot matches 247.88; George Newton 728-7X’s – Year’s average for 30 shot matches 261.40 (with .38); Paul Straka 650-2X’s — Year’s average for 30 shot matches 203.04.

The following were two handed rim fire shooters: Mike Curtis 799-13X’s — Year’s average for 30 shot matches 252.56 ;

Stuart Cook 744-9X’s — Year’s average for 30 shot matches 201.24; Dave Spearing 534-4X’s — Year’s average for 30 shot matches 180.67; Wayne Lear 523-2X’s — Year’s average for 30 shot matches 147.73.

The CNY Trap League starts Tuesday April 19 at 1700. It will be a home shoot against the Pompey Club.

Shoot safely – and accurately, please.

a year of ‘contributions’ for skaneateles’ aauW

The Skaneateles Branch of the American Asso-ciation of University Women chose “Contributions of Women” as its theme for 2010-11. Several programs focused on the efforts of the women who gave so much to bring about the 19th amendment in 1920.

The year began with a reading of one of the suf-fragettes’ propaganda plays, plays which were acted out in homes in order to persuade people – in particular, hesitant women — to act on behalf of the amendment. This was followed with a showing of the movie Iron-jawed Angels, which depicts the suffering of the suf-fragettes who were imprisoned for picketing President Wilson’s White House. Trips to Harriet Tubman’s Home in February and Matilda Joslyn Gage’s house had to be cancelled and will be on the schedule for next year. This year’s program culminates Saturday May 14 at the AAUW an nual “Issues at Breakfast,” with a talk by Sally Roesch Wagner about Matilda Joslyn Gage, an often ig-

nored leader in the women’s rights movement. Wagner is Executive Director of The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foun-dation, and her talk is a part of the lecture series offered by the New York Council for the Humanities.

The Gage Foundation and museum are in the home of Matilda Joslyn Gage in Fayetteville. Gage was an early feminist who worked with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Gage is also known for having her home in Fayetteville one of two “stops” on the Underground Railroad and for publicly announcing her intention to defy the Fugi-tive Slave Law.The AAUW

annual “Issues at Breakfast” will be held at the Ska-neateles

Country Club Saturday May 14 and is open to the public. For more information, call Cynthia MacBain at 685-1931.

the tournament be? Then, once that is figured, who should get in?

Maybe the 64-team model was perfect, but those days are gone. The current 68 is incomplete if the snubs are obvious. The much-discussed 96 doesn’t feel right, and though the late John Wooden would have loved it, inviting everyone into the field already happens, to some degree, with conference tournaments everywhere except the Ivy League.

Eventually, the number I settled on was 80 teams. Before you say it’s too much, though, let me show you how we would get to that number to insure that (1) the best possible field takes the floor and (2) no more class time is missed, which the NCAA constantly carps about. Here goes:

-Give the non-power conferences the option of discarding their tournaments (which don’t make much money anyway) and just send the regular-season champion. Then protect their place in the tournament, even if it’s a no. 17 through 20 seed.

-Big or small, every regular-season conference champion goes into the main field. Most likely, a Big East, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC champ would be a no. 1 to no. 8 seed anyway.

That rewards the regular season.-In all, 48 teams would be protected – the

top eight seeds in each region, with all the major conference champions and top at-large teams, plus the champions of the 16 lowest-ranked conferences that, in tournaments past, never had better than a 13 seed.

-Then, take the 32 remaining teams, all of them at-large selections by the tournament com-mittee, and play 16 games Tuesday and Wednes-day, rather than the “First Four” we saw this year. Make them earn their place in the field. To save time and travel, use the same sites as the next two rounds Thursday through Sunday.

Under this system, VCU would not have to justify their place in the field. For all you Syracuse fans, the Orange, instead of getting snubbed in 2007 and ’08, would have made it, with a chance to play their way in. All possible snubs, from power conferences or mid-majors, would get their chance, too. And TBS, TNT and TruTV would be glad to telecast all of them as the appetizer for the main event, once it’s pared down to 64.

In short, it’s an old-fashioned compromise be-tween those who say that having 64 teams is the

ideal format (because of bracket pools, no doubt) and those, like Jim Boeheim, that insist on expansion because, among other things, coaches get canned for not making the Dance.

With nearly 350 teams in Division I basket-ball, even an expansion to 80 would still mean that less than 25 percent of the schools get in. That’s less than the NBA, NHL or NFL playoffs, about the same as Major League Baseball, and far less than the bloated college football system where more than half the Division I schools can flag a bowl bid, even if they’re 6-6.

Five years ago, George Mason broke new trails when they stunned Michigan State, North Carolina and Connecticut on their way to the Final Four. Butler did even better, going to the big show twice, and VCU’s stunning rise further confirms that college basketball, at least in late March, is no longer confined to the big names. Deal with it.

The NCAA Tournament needs to deal with this changing reality, and make sure that the powers and dreamers alike have their chance at glory. Maybe, with an 80-team field, that could happen.

first baseman Chris Mar-rero, who hit 18 homers for Harrisburg last year. Brian Bixler and Seth By-num – who both played well here last year – will play the middle positions with Chris McConnell, and Alex Valdez will play third. Last season, McCo-nnell and Valdez sweated it out in the Double-A Texas League.

Returning outfielders include speedsters Roger Bernadina and Boomer Whiting as well as Corey Brown who played in the Pacific Coast League in 2010 and Jeff Frazier, who hit 25 home runs for the Toledo Mudhens.

The Chiefs open the season at 3:05 p.m. April 7 in the Queen City against NY Mets’ farmhands the Buffalo Bisons.

The hometown nine start swinging their bats at Alliance Bank Stadium at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Apr i l 13 , against the Pawtucket Red Sox. The ser ies cont inues at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 14, 7 p.m. Friday, April 15, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 16.

Alliance Bank Stadi-um is on the North Side, just east of the Region-al Market, at Tex Sim-one Drive (First North Street). Field-level ticket prices range from $9 to $20, while upper-deck seats cost $8, and $4 for kids and seniors.

Chiefs management has added a “Home Plate Club” in the first four rows behind home plate which will be serviced by a wait staff. Those 192 seats cost $20 each. The stadium parking fee has increased to $5 per vehicle; 474-7833; syra-cusechiefs.com.
