Village board in brief
Good news for budget, police
Mayor confirms salary reduction
Dwayne HougHton
After months of snow and cold, a week of record high winds and tree damage and another week of high water waves ripping up docks and flooding streams, good weather makes a welcome comeback. Residents awoke to rays of sunlight not pelting rain or sleet for a change. With the promise of warmer temperatures, weekend visitors and tourists are sure to follow. Put away the shovels and parkas and put on your sunglasses and shorts. It’s time to go out and play.
Finally!Good weather returns

The Skaneateles police depart-ment was awarded $25,000 in the State’s Fiscal Year 2010/2011 Byrne JAG grant Funds, Police Chief Per-kins said at the Skaneateles village board meeting April 28. The grant will be used to support the purchase of a marked police vehicle. Police Chief Perkins is currently research-ing what’s available.
Perkins also reported receiving a grant of $4,763 to upgrade the video equipment used for suspect inter v ie ws and inter rogat ions . A traffic speed monitor was also donated to the Police Depart by SkanRaces.com.
The board recognized that Ska-neateles police officer Eric Sharp-steen was honored by a resolution introduced by Senator Defrancisco to the State Legislature for his he-roic actions involving the rescue of a woman during a fire on Genesee Street on Feb. 13. Officer Sharp-steen responded to a 911 call of a house fire. Arriving at the scene, Sharpsteen learned that Shirley

In a letter to the village Clerk, Mayor Hubbard confirmed that instead of the $14,500 mandated by local law for his annual mayoral salary, he’ll
receive $5,000. Waiving his rights to the $9,500 difference, Hubbard also acknowledges the line item in the village budget reflect this figure as well. No other approvals are required for the reduction other than the letter.
Skaneateles Rod and Gun Club: Straight shootin’ for 83 yearsBy Dwayne Houghton
They meet every Satur-day morning at 9 a.m. By 9:10, residents unfamil-iar with the ensuing rifle fire noise may think the wooded area north of town is under attack.
It’s just a few members of the Rod and Gun Club, high power rifle marksmen, who meet every week and challenge each other for bragging rights and a prize of a cup of coffee.
“We shoot every Satur-day morning, rain, snow, wind – any condition,” said
Wayne Lear, club member and Skaneateles Press col-umnist. “Usually we shoot classic World War II era guns like M1 Garand’s or a Remington 1903 A3, but we’ve seen all kinds of rifles from all over the world.”
Started in 1928 by a few Sunday morning trap shooting enthusiasts, the Skaneateles Rod and Gun Club originally was located at an old horse track in the field behind what is now Bombard Chevrolet of Route 20. As the member-ship grew, regular meet-ings were held upstairs in
the Jordan Street fire hall. In 1945 the club, needing
more space, moved its loca-tion to Jewett Road, about
two miles north of town. Incorporating in 1946, it still resides there today.
The facilities include a full service clubhouse for meetings and gatherings, an indoor pistol range, a 100-yard rifle range and a multiple station trap shoot-ing field.
“Trap shooting is the mainstay of the Club,” said club President Dick Per-kins. “The pistol league has about 10 to 12 members as does the high power rifle Dwayne HougHton

league and there are still a few an-glers. The rest of the membership, about 215 in all, is made up of trap shooters.”
For the shooters of the club, it’s not about recklessly blasting away with a heavy German or Swedish made exotic firearm, it’s about the conservation and enjoyment of shooting. Members consider this at all times with great responsibility, and safety is the strictest rule.
The small Skaneateles club at-tracts members from Skaneateles as well as neighboring towns such as Elbridge, Weedsport, Marcellus, which all have rod and gun clubs of their own.
“It’s the camaraderie,” Perkins said. “There’s no ‘club within a club,’ no ‘pistols only’ or anything like that. It doesn’t matter whether you shoot a pistol or a shotgun or cast for a fish, everybody is here to have a good time together and enjoy the facility.”
Members must be sponsored by an existing member and voted on.
“By the way,” added Wayne Lear, “we’re not in the military here. It’s a firearm or gun or rifle, not ‘weapon.’”
With that, Lear cracked off a shot to the target 100 yards away.

Area boy scouts hike the Adirondacks
Submitted by Brian UnderwoodTroup 61 Chairman
Five scouts from Skaneateles Boy Scout Troop 61 spent the first 5 days of school spring break backpacking 25 miles in the Five Ponds Wilderness Area of the Adirondack Park. These scouts were David DuBois, Glen Underwood, Matt Sheppard, L.J. Mills and Matt Wolford. Two adult lead-ers, George Dickover and Bob Sheppard, accompanied the scouts.
The purpose of the trip was to clear the trail of any blow down, which may have occurred during the winter. The task was made somewhat difficult in that there was still plenty of snow in the area (more than four feet), so snow shoes were essential. Scouts also picked up garbage around the lean-tos that were visited. Several large bags of garbage were collected and carried out. In addition to cold weather backpacking equipment and hand saws for blow down removal, the scouts also brought with them a shovel, a crow bar, and a post-hole digger in order to
relocate several outhouses that were near the lean-tos visited during the trip. Environmental conservation and stewardship is a hallmark of the Boy Scout program, and these scouts heartily agreed to do their part.
The scouts started their adventure at noon on Friday April 15 when they received permission to leave school early. Donning 40-pound packs, they started hiking around 3:30 p.m. and made seven miles until darkness

Two Buffleheads, Mergansers and several Mallards
From the mailbag
The wind tossed my deteriorating dock system some more on Saturday am and early pm. We did get a line on some of the parts, but did not have enough muscle to move it at all. Tommy Terrific, Mighty Henry, plus Grandpa dragged and tugged, but no mechanical motion was accomplished.
The duck population is down to a pair of Buffle-heads, two Mergansers, and several Mallards. A group of eight female Mergansers also came by. They are probably siblings, born last year. I have not noticed any Mallard pairs moving around on the lake.
Last week, a pair of Mallards was ambling across Kelly Street from south to north. I stopped and waited until they approached the Creekside steps. However, a driver, female I think, got really agitated that she had to wait for the duck passage. In my mind, it is a natural flow and we should slow down and enjoy the animals. The waterfowl are doing their thing. I am just pugnacious enough to get out of the car and ask these anxious Nellies if they need any help and why are they are honking the horn. I might get shot one of these days, as lots of folks are packing pistols.
Aside from items of natural interest, it is really sad around Upstate Temperature Control because
Peter Buff, a former employee, died last Thursday after a run. Peter began by helping me at the West Lake Road house with my projects and woodwork-ing. He helped build my first 10-foot rowboat in my basement and we got it out just fine.
Peter moved on to Delhi to study HVAC (heat-ing, plumbing, and A/C) and continued to work with us during breaks and summer holidays. When he graduated, he signed on full-time. Under the in-struction of his longtime friend Peter Brillo and my partner Earl Vibbard, Peter became a great tempera-ture control and air-conditioning technician.
Earl had worked at Honeywell in service and service management for 20 years. He really knew his stuff and how to train young men. It was during these years that Peter and Earl really got close. Earl was a real bridge aficionado and he died in Sep-tember of 2010. I am sure Earl will call out to Buff, “There’s not much stuff up here to fix, but I can get you fixed up in one of the greatest bridge games you can imagine.” Earl never got into the digital control systems as Pete did, but I’m sure Pete will update him.
All in all, Peter worked for Upstate about half the time the company has been in business. When he got married and the heavy traveling got to him, he moved on to work on automotive technology and I have been told he was a star at that also.
As you can probably understand, we are having trouble trying to accept the death of Peter at age 42.

‘Run for HOPE’: Remember your loved ones, celebrate youLast week my fiance
Tim and I went for an ex-hilarating jog in the rain and thunder and light-ning. I splashed through and hopped over puddles, got soaked and loved it. There’s nothing like al-lowing the rain to work its magic instead of fighting it off with a bulky umbrella. For us, the experience released joy and laughter; it freed us to let go of silly cares and just be in the moment.
Spring is full of hope; a fresh start. Everything is new again. Trees bud, flowers bloom, birds sing and the days are becoming longer and warmer. The tran-sition from winter to spring always turns my mind to themes of hope and renewal.
A top facilitator of this process in Syracuse is the community organization, HOPE for Bereaved. Since the mid 1970s, HOPE has been dedicated to helping people in their journey from grief to hope through support groups and counseling free of charge. Founder Therese Schoeneck, whose personal loss in-spired her to establish HOPE, is known to say, “you may never be the same, but you can be a new you.”
Next month, HOPE is launching its first 8k run and one-mile walk in the village of Marcellus. Since “Run for HOPE” is about lifting spirits, remember-ing loved ones and discovering you again, partici-pants are encouraged to remember their loved ones by bringing a photo, special memento or note to post on a memory board. Participants are also encour-aged to meditate on their own journey, recogniz-ing what they’ve been through and how far they’ve come. Those just beginning the journey can make this their first step toward a future filled with hope and happiness again.
Run for HOPE will take place on Sunday June 5. Registration begins at 9 a.m. at Marcellus High School; the 8k run (which is a rigorous course) begins at 10 a.m. The one-mile Remembrance Walk will begin at 10:15 a.m. Create a team in memory of a classmate, co-worker, friend or family member.
For more information or to register, go to GetEn-tered.com or download a registration form at Hope-ForBereaved.com. You can also download a form on FleetFeet.com. All proceeds will benefit HOPE. The race will take place rain or shine – this is your chance to be in the moment.

Mayor’s ‘change’ put three out of workTo the editor:
It was recently reported that Skaneateles Mayor Martin Hub-bard hoped that Village DPW employees can repair the recent damage to the seawall walkway on Skaneateles Lake, without having to hire an outside firm.
What he hasn’t said, publicly, is that just a few weeks ago he rec-ommended and passed a budget that cut three positions from his Village DPW crew.
Yet strangely, he never spoke publicly about any layoffs prior to the budget being passed. In fact, even after one of our CSEA rep-resentatives spoke out at a board
meeting to oppose the layoffs, Mayor Hubbard still wouldn’t admit that his budget would lay anyone off. He said he preferred to think of it as “change.”
Well, Mayor Hubbard, your “change” put three hard-work-ing people out of work, people who have families that depend on them, and people who provided years of dedicated service to your village and took care of emergen-cy repairs, like the seawall project.
Mayor, you never even gave village residents, businesses and employees the respect of coming clean about your job cuts. I think everyone involved had a right to a more open and transparent bud-get process, and deserved to know how these budget cuts would im-
pact village services and residents’ quality of life.
I hope that when projects, like the seawall repair, cannot get completed as quickly or by village workers, residents will remember who is to blame for these unnec-essary cuts.

I read Fran Rotunno Fish’s letter and agree with almost all he said. The city water department has kept the lake level too high the last two
at the scene, Sharpsteen learned that Shirley Cavaiolo was still inside the burning house but unable to get out.

In other board news
Parkside Skaneateles Creek Walk property, a majority of which was donated by Dr. Daniel Elstein, generated the question of what are the parameters of right-of-way for the access driveway the City of Syracuse uses. Codes Enforcement Officer Jorge Battle said the Creek Walk maintenance obligation ends just north of the village limits.
The tentative budget was voted on and approved with no new changes . Mayor Hubbard took a moment to thank the board members for their hard work and hopes that the public will support it. Approval for the additional $98, 000 from the general fund is still necessary.

winters. Fran called for a popular revolt of sorts and a committee to determine the proper lake levels. The second half of this call to arms has already been done! Years ago a study was done costing thousands of dollars with specific winter and summer target elevations for the lake level. In June the lake is supposed to rise to an elevation of 863 feet above sea level. In December it is supposed to drop to 860 feet above sea level.
I understand the city does not have absolute control over the lake level, but they can anticipate, with the weather over the last nine months, the ground water is full and there would be a lot of runoff this spring. The city did not try to lower the lake level last fall as the outlet level spent several months a low flow rate. Now the lake is high and there is little anyone can do about it in the short run. The city has made our bed and now we have to lie in it.
I would think it would be in the city’s own interest to keep the spring water level down to prevent ero-sion of the lake shore. The biggest fear the city has is turbid water from the lake. If certain turbidity limits are broken the EPA will force the city (and the village and the town) to filter the water before sending to their customers. This will cost millions. In fact tur-bidity notices were issued for Dec. 1 and 2 and more recently April 17. If you go down to the shoreline and look at the exposed roots of shore side trees, holes on the soil behind breakwalls and other structures you can get an idea of how much soil is entering the lake this spring.
I have lived and recreated on the lake for my whole life, and have seen the lake at its historic high of 867 feet in 1972 and its lows in the ‘80s and ‘90s. As resi-dents we have to watch the performance of the City’s management of this resource and make sure they watch for their interest and ours. We should have been writing these letters last fall, when they could have taken preventive action. Now all we can do is yell loud enough now so they remember and do not let it happen again.

Val Jerabeck for Skaneateles BOEThe upcoming elections to the Skaneateles school
board are important seats to fill with the most quali-fied candidates. The school board will be facing very tough decisions in upcoming years, both with personnel and long term planning. During this eco-nomic climate it is important that the school board makes decision that the community can afford to support. Our school district is no different than the neighboring districts; we are all faced with reduced state aid and low enrollment. The school board will
need to find ways to provide a quality education for our children on limited funds. The changes will need to be well though out, how does today’s decision impact the students of tomorrow.
The individuals that we elect to these positions will need to immerse themselves into the business side of our school district. Change is never easy, especially when it directly affects your family. But in the near future, change is what our school district will need to embrace. In my opinion, the publics’ job will be to elect two people that can look objectively at these changes and make some very hard decisions for the benefit of all of us.
It has been my pleasure over the years to work with Val Jerabeck. Val is someone that comes to every meeting prepared to participate. If she does not know the information, she will do her research and prepare a list of questions. She approaches working on boards as a collaborative effort, informa-tion and knowledge is shared freely. Val has spent countless hours supporting the school through PTC. She has held treasurer and president positions at every school. She has worked with the District Wide PTC, which allowed her to share her knowledge and experience with new board members. She has volunteered her time on the District Planning Team; she knows where our school district has been and where we want to go in the future. Val has also spent time in our community supporting the efforts of the Skaneateles Rotary Club.
The school board seat should be filled with someone who has worked hard over the years to be activate in the school system and desires to continue being active, that is why I support Val Jerabeck for the Skaneateles School board.
BRIDGETT WINKELMAN
In support of Illyssa Green for Skaneateles BOETo the editor:
I write to express my strong support of Illyssa Green to serve as school board member on behalf of the Skaneateles Central School district.
Having known Illyssa for the better part of 20 years, she is not only a neighbor, but has more im-portantly become a dear friend and close confidant over the years. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her raise five beautiful children to grow and become bright, respectful and competent youngsters. In doing so, one thing always remains clear and consis-tent. No matter what, the children come first. For this reason, I am confident Illyssa will serve as a great addition to the Skaneateles School Board. The best interest of the students will always be a priority and something she’ll not compromise.
Having lived and been very much involved in this community for over 60 years and a Skaneateles graduate myself, Illyssa exhibits the type of character we want as an advocate for the children of our com-munity. My five children are Skaneateles graduates, and I have watched them put my 11 grandchildren through the same system. Illyssa is certainly some-one I want on their side.
Illyssa is smart, thoughtful, approachable, and will take a sound approach to each and every issue. I have no doubt Illyssa will welcome, with open ears and an open heart, those with problems and ideas alike. Above all, Illyssa has a heart of gold. Her abil-ity to truly care about others is something I have always respected. Over the years I have found this kindness to be one of her most redeeming quali-ties. When she sees or learns of a child in some kind of need, she is the first to jump in and help. She requires no recognition for her deed because for her, as long as the child’s needs are met, that’s all that matters.
In closing, I believe Illyssa Green is an excellent candidate to fill one of the two vacancies for Ska-neateles School Board member. She is persistent, conscientious, and someone I believe will represent this district with a level of character that is tough to rival. I urge my fellow neighbors and friends to consider Illyssa Green for Skaneateles School Board member.
Thank you.BARBARA K. GREENFIELD

Mottville Fire Company Inc. gets grantThe little firehouse that could
By Dwayne Houghtoneditor@
skaneatelespress.com
The firehouse looks only a bit bigger than someone’s private garage. It houses just five fire-emergency vehicles. Membership is about 35 members, all volunteers.
But don’t second guess what can’t be seen. The Mottville Fire Company is no small operation.
“We average about 250 calls a year,” said seven-year Fire Chief Tim Baker. “This year in the first four month we’ve already logged 105 so far. We’re busy.”
Mottville is a sleepy little community, a mile or so north of Skaneateles, and the fire company is lo-cated right in the middle of a residential street. Drive down Frost Street too fast and you may miss it.
The company’s location is ideal for supporting the emergency services of the surrounding com-munities like Elbridge, Marcellus, Jordan and of
course, Skaneateles. The company’s website dis-plays photographs of the volunteers responding to vehicle accidents and fire and natural disaster emer-gencies both on their own or aiding larger response organizations.
During the rainy spring, the company pumps out flooded basements and helps with recovery.
The site also describes how, in 1925, the company was created. By 1926, the company had one truck, a Ford, donated by a private individual. An ordinary vehicle of that era, the truck had to be rebuilt by the members of the fire company so it could be used to fight fires.
Presently, the company uses a 2000 E-One Ladder truck, two rescue-pump-ers, a custom Chevy 3500 and a Ford pick-up. Train-ing, education and con-stant drilling enables the members to provide well-respected, professional
service. Recognized for this, the company has just received an $85, 000 grant from the federal govern-ment for the purchase of new Scott Airpacks.
“The old airpacks were pretty worn out and re-ally needed to be replaced,”
said Baker.The airpack is an essen-
tial piece of any firefighters’ gear, constantly subjected to the harshest of elements — freezing cold, fire, water, the battering of a hostile environment — and must always be in the best con-
dition.Last year, the Mott-
ville Fire Company, too often not recognized for its actions and dedication, logged more than 4,000 man-hours. Their airpacks are more than 15 years old.

halted further advance. Saturday morning dawned overcast but the scouts were able to make it to the Big Shallow lean-to and col-lect firewood just in time before it started to rain and then snow. It proceeded to rain/snow the entire after-noon with high winds, but that did not stop them from visiting the Little Shallow lean-to to clean it up and move the outhouse. On Sunday, the scouts hiked to the High Falls (upper) Lean-to. Along the way, the trail was flooded causing the group to trudge for 300 yards through knee deep ice-cold water.
After working on the lean-to and doing trail
clearing along the way, the scouts were treated to more snow around dinner time which lasted the entire eve-ning. The group awoke on Monday to about 2 inches of fresh new powder. The scouts hiked north toward Cranberry Lake and took a detour to hike up Cat Mountain (2267 feet) to get a great view of the Five Ponds Wilderness Area. It was then off to the Janack’s Landing lean-to where the third outhouse was moved and significant garbage was collected.
Tuesday morning broke clear, crisp and sunny with a pair of loons just offshore giving everyone a special send-off call. Despite the
challenges of the weather and trail conditions, all agreed it was a fun back-country adventure. These five scouts are part of a Boy Scout contingent head-ing to the Philmont Scout Ranch in July to backpack for ten days above 10,000 feet in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Cimarron, N.M.
The Boy Scouting pro-gram is open to boys ages 11 to 18, and no prior scouting experience is nec-essary. Troup 61 is currently welcoming new scouts and parents. Inquiries should be directed to Scoutmaster Robert Sheppard at 685-0257.
WCNY wins Murrow Award for veterans documentary
WCNY-TV has won a 2011 regional Edward R. Murrow Award for its docu-mentary “Our Veterans and Their Families: 21st Century Challenges.’’
WCNY won the award in the Video News Documentary category for small market television stations in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The docu-mentary is now entered in that category for a national Murrow Award.
“Our Veterans’’ tells the compelling stories of veterans and their families and the unique challenges they face in this new century. The one-hour documentary focuses on issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, special needs of injured veterans, recon-necting with family and friends, the stress of re-deployment, and the hardships faced by female veterans.
“War tears away at the fabric of families, separating them by thousands of miles and forcing them into desperate realities,’’ said WCNY’s Peter Spartano, the documenta-ry’s producer and writer. “Viewers meet soldiers and their families and their words define their experiences and offer guide-
posts for those who follow.’’Spartano, now WCNY’s Vice President
of Broadcasting, said the production of “Our Veterans’’ was a team effort that also included videographer and editor Brian Anelli, host Liz Ayers, and associate pro-ducer Christa Grome.
The Murrow awards are named after the legendary journalist who was a pioneer of television news broadcasting. Presented by the Radio Television Digital News As-sociation since 1971, the awards are given to stations that demonstrate the spirit of excellence that Murrow made a standard for the broadcast news profession.
“This documentary is a shining example of what we strive to do every day, which is educate our viewers about issues that touch all of our lives,’’ said Robert J. Daino, WCNY’s President and CEO. “We’re proud of this award, but we’re more proud of the veterans who fight for our freedom.’’

St. Joseph’s to hold annual gala at Turning Stone
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.

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.

Lakers softball has 1-2 weekBy Phil Blackwell
Like many others, the Skaneateles softball team had seen its early-season schedule turned around by the various rainstorms that marked the entire month of April.
When the Lakers visited Solvay last Monday, it was just the second game of the season, and many things were still uneven during a 9-3 loss to the Bearcats.
Solvay, returning from its own 10-day break, used three runs off Laker pitcher Alyssa Stevens to take the lead. And it was 4-0 when, in the top of the fourth, Skaneateles nearly caught up.
Going through its entire order, the Lakers tagged Solvay pitcher Brenna Poli for three runs as Carrie Hinchman and Erica Nye both earned RBIs as Chelsea Hamilton scored a run.
But with the bases loaded and two out, Poli escaped the jam and watched as the Bearcats got to Stevens for five runs in the next three innings. At the same time, Julie Gardner relieved Poli and struck out eight in her three-inning relief stint.
Back home at Austin Park on Wednesday afternoon, the Lakers pushed Christian Brothers Academy to the wire, but still lost to the Brothers 9-7.
One bad inning made the difference. Skaneateles was up 2-1 after a pair of first-inning tallies, but watched in the top of the fourth at CBA batted around, scoring six times.
Despite this, the Lakers worked hard to the final out as Sarah Tomlinson earned a home run and three RBIs. Julianna Augustine doubled and drove in two runs as Emily Call got two hits and Stevens scored twice. Stevens and Emylie Garcia combined for nine strikeouts as CBA ace Jordan Sheridan amassed 13 strikeouts.
Maybe that comeback gave Skaneateles some confidence that carried over to Friday’s game at Jordan-Elbridge, where the Lakers’ skid ended with a 12-8 victory over the Eagles.
By the top of the fourth, Sknaeateles had a 12-0 lead. Tomlinson scored three runs, with Call and Ham-ilton both scoring twice. Garcia got credited with three RBIs. Stevens had all sorts of late-game struggles in the pitcher’s circle, allowing 12 hits and seven walks, but still got the win.
Twice this week, Skaneateles will face rival Marcellus, with games against Cazenovia and Hannibal also on the slate.
Skaneateles baseball goes 3-1, beats Auburn
Girls track Lakers take out Marcellus
By Phil Blackwell [email protected]
In warm, windy conditions, the Skaneateles girls track and field team improved to 3-0 in the Onondaga High School League Liberty division last Wednesday afternoon by going to Marcellus and defeating the Mustangs in an 82-59 decision.
A big part of the win was the Lakers sweeping the field events. Caroline Walton threw the shot put 33 feet 2 ½ inches and had a top discus throw of 90 feet 6 inches, while Gabby Eckles won the long jump by going 15 feet 7 inches and cleared 5 feet 1 inch in the high jump. Kaela Fiutak cleared 9 feet in the pole vault.
Meanwhile, on the oval Madeline Adams ran 3,000 meters in 11:36.3 and also was first in the 800-meter run. Erin Tonzi took the 400-meter dash (1:04.6) and helped Julia Judge, Anna Barrett and Aine Rooney claim first in the 4x400 relay in 4:36.4. Taylor Woodruff beat the field in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:13 flat.
The Skaneateles boys team lost, 99.5-44.5, to Mar-cellus, despite Sean Cooper landing titles in the 110 high hurdles in 17.0 seconds and the 200-meter dash in 24.1 seconds. Patrick Biver won the triple jump by going 30 feet 7 inches. John Bell led the Mustangs with wins in the mile and 800-meter run and helped his side take the 4x800, too.
Both Skaneateles teams would compete Saturday in the Chittenango Invitational – and both would earn seventh-place finishes, the boys with 29 points, the girls with 26 points.
Walton swept the girls throwing events. She threw the shot put 36 feet 1 ¾ inches as no else even got to 33 feet, and in the discus her heave of 91 feet 7 inches put her well past Jamesville-DeWitt’s Brooke DeRob-erts (85 feet 4 inches) and the rest of the field. Tonzi, Adams, Woodruff and Danielel Mazzeo were third in the distance medley relay in 13:25.83.
Cooper emerged victorious in the 110 high hurdles, his time of 15.59 seconds holding off Westhill’s Jack Honis (15.82 seconds) for the top spot. Cooper, Sam Kriever, Patrick Biver and Nick Smolenski rose to fourth in the 1,600 sprint medley relay in 3:55.79.
Tim Lewis went over to the five-event pentathlon, where he finished third with 2,525 points as teammate Taylor Weyneth got fourth place with 2,393 points. Carson Schwab cleared 10 feet to get fourth place in the pole vault, with Ari Hristodulou, Max Weiss, Nico Petrocci and Josh Lotkowictz sixth in the 4x100 in 50.18 seconds.
By Phil Blackwell [email protected]
Without a lot of fuss or attention, the Skaneateles baseball team worked its way to 6-2 on the season when it wasn’t kept of the field by various bouts of wet weather.
At least things were dry on the weekend – including Saturday’s game against defending Section III Class AA champion Auburn, where the Lakers prevailed 3-2 over the Maroons.
Skaneateles used a pair of runs in the second inning to move ahead 2-1, then tacked on another run an inning later.
Brandon Barron had two hits, including a double, and scored a run as Luke Dranscak and Matt Carvallo earned one RBI apiece. Tom Jones had two hits and one run scored.
Dranscak got the pitching as-signment and went the route to earn the win, only allowing five hits and one walk while striking out six.
This was the second of back-to-back games, which included
Friday’s trip to Jordan-Elbridge where Jones pitched the Lakers past the Eagles 7-3.
Like Dranscak, Jones would pitch a complete game, overcom-ing eight walks and five hits as he constantly escaped trouble, earning six strikeouts.
It helped that Skaneateles owned a 5-0 lead by the second inning, all the offense it would need. Ryan Sherman scored twice and drove in two runs as Dranscak, Barron, Conor Herr and Jared Amory each got two hits. Pat Roberts joined Barron and Amory with single RBIs.
Even when the rain fell at Solvay last Monday afternoon – and even when it fell behind - the Lakers handled it well, rallying to beat the Bearcats 4-2.
A first-inning run got negated when Solvay, keyed by Forrest Gilbert’s double, scored twice off Ryan Prochna in the bottom of the second inning to gain a 2-1 edge.
It remained that way until the sixth when, keyed by some sloppy Solvay defense, the Lakers earned
three runs to move ahead for good. Mike Morris doubled and earned an RBI as he, along with Herr, Roberts and Barron, scored the team’s runs.
Prochna blanked the Bearcats after the second inning, improving to 2-0 with a complete game that included eight strikeouts against five hits and four walks allowed.
Two days and another rainstorm later, the Lakers went out of league play to face Fayetteville-Manlius and struggled in a 13-1 loss to the Hornets.
Never trailing, F-M scored twice in the first inning and four more times in the third. Roberts pitched six innings and got the loss as Skaneateles got its lone run in the fourth, Herr earning the RBI.
Hornet teammates Brooks Weigl and Sean Bright both hit home runs.
If the weather holds, Skaneateles is home all of this week, playing Cazenovia, Marcellus and Hannibal as it lurks right behind Westhill in the OHSL Liberty division.

A creative arts program for residents at Springside at Seneca Hill was recently led by SUNY Oswego Professors Brad Korbesmeyer and Mark Cole, and SUNY students Kate Boswell and Sarah Sterling. The program culminated with a readers’ theater performance of act one of the play, “Mornings at Seven.” Participants shown above, seated from left, are residents Shirley Cianfarano, Dorothy Putnam, Jim Abel, Georgie Powers, Eloise Slife, Sherwood Dunham, and Fred Clemens. Standing from left are Boswell, resident Bob Wood, Korbesmeyer, Cole, residents Barbara McCormack and Ann Heckethorn. Music was also provided by Springside resident Mary Agnes Brown (absent from photo).
The American Society of Clinical On-cology (ASCO) is the premier resource for cancer doctors and oncology practices in the USA. They provide data and guidance regarding the treatment of cancer, guide-lines for care, cancer research, education and public policy and their membership includes over 27,000 doctors and health-care providers, worldwide. Dr. Jeffrey Kirshner, physician and partner of Hema-tology-Oncology Associates (HOA) was chosen to present his most recent research at the 2010 annual meeting. This selection signified recognition of not only the impor-tance of his work but also the quality of its conduct. In addition, he has received the distinct honor to be selected as one of the “Best of ASCO.”
“It’s very impressive that one of our phy-sicians was selected,” said Carolyn McAu-liffe, Ph.D., Director of HOA’s Clinical Cancer Research. Jeffrey Kirshner, MD au-thored the study: Prevention of Pegfilgras-tim-Induced Bone Pain: A Randomized,
Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of 510 Cancer Patients. “The results of his study were extremely exciting as many pa-tients are unable to continue aspects of their cancer treatment because of unbearable pain,” states Dr. McAuliffe. Dr. Kirshner’s study offers promise that administration of naproxen can significantly diminish this common side effect of pain.
Dr. Kirshner has served as Principle Investigator of the Hematology Oncology Associates Community Clinical Oncol-ogy Program (CCOP) for over 23 years. This unique research program is aimed at providing research typically conducted at large, urban academic medical facilities to smaller, local communities, allowing cancer patients access to state of the art treatment while remaining close to family. HOA is the only CCOP in the USA not affiliated with a large academic medical center and is only one of two CCOPs in New York Sate – the other on Long Island.

Springside residents celebrate their community
The residents of Springside at Seneca Hill are celebrating its 11th Anniversary at a spe-cial party on May 2, 2011.
Springside Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Teresa Ferlito, noted, “We have seen how much freedom the residents have gained from living in a supportive com-munity where a caring staff takes of many things to help make life simpler for its resi-dents.” While gaining freedom from chores, the residents can enjoy many fun and informa-tive community programs brought right to their door on a regular basis. At the senior community, whether it’s tak-ing part in a creative writing program taught by a SUNY Oswego professor, or an os-teoporosis exercise program, the nearly 70 residents have many programs available right where they live. Recently, there have been Health Information Workshops offered including those on nutrition and heart health.
In turn, community orga-nizations utilize Springside’s
facilities when holding meet-ings and other functions in their grand dining room or library. Springside hosts between 40 and 50 events each year, for organizations including local service clubs, retiree groups, RSVP work-
shops, and SUNY-Oswego. The facility is also often the location for many Oswego Health functions such as board meetings and social gatherings. Then there are the ever popular Soup Lov- See HOA, next page
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.

McHarrie Pointe marks one-year anniversaryBy Kelly O’Neill-Rossi
You’re never too old to fall in love. Evelyn Cady married her husband, Ralph when she was 80 years old.
“We were friends for 50 years before we were married,” Evelyn said. “I never thought I would marry again but it just happened!” For the next seven years, the newlyweds enjoyed retirement living in Sedona, Arizona.
“We walked one and a half miles every day together. We also enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and Mexico,” she said.
Unfortunately, health issues brought them back to Central New York. Soon after, Ralph needed 24-hour nursing care due to complications from a stroke. Evelyn, too, needed assistance with everyday living.
The Cady’s chose the newly opened
McHarrie Pointe Assisted Living for Ev-elyn in April of last year. “I love it here. The people who take care of me are wonderful. They are all so nice.” Since McHarrie Pointe is part of the Syracuse Home continuum of care campus, Evelyn visits Ralph at Syracuse Home, as both programs are located in the same building.
McHarrie Pointe offers assisted living Evelyn and Ralph Cady enjoying an afternoon visit together.
Seneca Federal: Not an average mortgage originator“Seneca Federal Savings and
Loan Association is not an average mortgage origina-tor but it IS an average com-munity bank,” said Katrina Russo, president-CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and re-member what is really at the
heart of this nation, which I believe is what all com-munities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conserva-tive manner and still render positive results to many.”
Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, lo-cal home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. “We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tam-my Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to pre-qualification re-quests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Sen-eca Federal has never used
credit scores as a ba-sis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on ac-tual consumer credit history. This ‘tradi-tional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent.
“A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the presi-dent, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the underwriting process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans
are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the begin-ning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are very thankful when a cus-tomer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and before the
loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with
experienced loan under-writers who assist you in your mortgage loan appli-cation process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan.
The lending team is carrying on with the phi-losophy of individualized
lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our com-munities and want to offer competitive mortgage, con-sumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage mar-ket lender. We understand the needs of our communi-ties and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is al-ways retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan.

From previous pageSeneca FederalOne example of a loan that is often
tailor-made to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mort-gage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commit-ment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made loan includes a mortgage where a customer is purchasing a house in which projected renovations are included. The purchase and renovation costs are wrapped into one mortgage loan. Other
features which add to Seneca’s appeal as a mortgage lender include no flood certifica-tion fees and no underwriting fees. “This culture of personalized service was instilled into us by our predecessors, so that Seneca Federal’s continued success is guaranteed for decades to come,” she said.
“We pride ourselves on providing the best possible products with the lowest possible lending rates. As a community bank, it is our job to increase the wealth of our members through low lending rates and high savings rates, given the state of the economy at any given time,” according to Russo.

Tiger Woods to return to Atunyote July 5By Phil Blackwell
Not even two years has passed since Tiger Woods, the world’s most famous golfer, came to Central New York to participate in the Notah Begay III Founda-tion Challenge.
A whole lot has changed since then, from Woods’ personal reputation to his
once-unquestioned status as the game’s top player. Still, he figures to draw quite a crowd when he ap-pears again at Begay’s annu-al charity event at Atunyote Golf Club in Verona.
This year’s event will take place July 5, nearly two months earlier than the first three editions, all of which were in late August. And it will feature Woods, up-and-coming
star Rickie Fowler and, as pro-am partners, NFL quarterbacks Tony Romo (Dallas Cowboys) and Sam Bradford (St. Louis Rams). The rest of the field will be announced shortly.
This single-day activity partially makes up for the loss of the Turning Stone Resort Championship, played from 2007-2010, but taken off the PGA Tour schedule when a suitable date could not be found.
Among the many chang-es from Woods’ appearance is 2009 is the cost of a ticket. Then, they ran up to $330.
Now, any ticket purchased before May 15 is $40, and only rises to $50 after that date. Children under 16 will be admitted free with the purchase of an adult ticket, and active military members with a valid mili-tary ID will get a 50 percent discount.
What happened to Woods following a No-vember 29 car accident outside his home is well-chronicled. Reports of af-fairs with other women led to a divorce from his wife, Elin, and Woods lost numerous multi-million
dollar sponsorships.And from a golf stand-
point, it’s hardly better. Woods has not won any tournament since late 2009, despite contending in the last two editions of the Mas-ters, plus the 2010 United States Open at Pebble Beach in California. He has also lost his no. 1 world ranking, currently held by English golfer Lee Westwood.
Ironically, on the same day that Woods’ appear-ance at Atunyote was an-nounced, he also revealed that he suffered a sprained MCL in a left knee that un-
dergone four surgeries, plus a sprained Achilles tendon. No surgery is required this time, and Woods is ex-pected to return in time for the U.S. Open in mid-June at Congressional Country Club near Washington, D.C.
As for the Pro-Am par-ticipants, Fowler, 22, was in this event one year ago, just before he appeared as a rookie on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. He is also part-Navajo, giving him a Native American tie.
Romo, aside from hav-ing the highest profile on the high-profile Cowboys, is also a scratch golfer who made it to U.S. Open sec-tional qualifying in 2010. Bradford won the Heis-man Trophy at Oklahoma in 2008 and nearly led the Rams to the NFL playoffs in his rookie season.
All proceeds will benefit the Notah Begay Founda-tion, which supports health initatives on behalf of Na-tive American youth. In the three years of the challenge, more than $2.4 million has been raised for the founda-tion.

Skaneateles girls lax beats Tully, 14-11
Golfers resume, stay unbeatenBy Phil Blackwell
Still atop the OHSL Liberty division, the Skaneateles boys golf team resumed its season after nearly two weeks of practice – and waiting for the rain to stop.
Conditions were not easy, though, as the Lakers de-feated Westhill 205-218 last Wednesday at Skaneateles Country Club in the makeup of an April 14 rainout.
Jeff Baldetti shot a 37 for nine holes, tied by the Warriors’ Gus Gosson. But Baldetti had more help as Justin Sisson shot a 40 and Matt Lee contributed a 41.
On the girls side, Skaneateles lost 235-247 to Westhill, Kelsey Fenner posting a 51.
Boys lacrosse Lakers rally past Tully
Chernoff wins A CourseThree rifle shooters met at our range at 0900 Saturday
April 25 to fire our regular weekly high power match. Dwayne Houghton, editor of the Skaneateles Press news-paper, met with us for a few minutes. He is going to do an article on our club. Dick Perkins, our club’s president, soon joined us, and after some questions and pictures, Hough-ton and Perkins went to the club house, and the three rifle-men fired the match. It had been raining, but stopped just after 0900, thankfully. The temperature was 40 degrees, the sky overcast, with a light south wind.
We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match, consisting of ten shots slow fire prone (in 10 minutes), ten shots rapid fire prone (in 80 seconds for bolt action rifles and 70 seconds for semi-automatic rifles, like M1’s), and ten shots slow fire (in 10 minutes) standing.
Chuck Chernoff won the match, and would have won a bronze medal at Camp Perry, by firing his ’03-A3 and hitting 91-1X+92+84=267-2X’s, and we all congratulate him. Dave Spearing fired his M1 and hit 97-1X+83+81-1X=261-2X’s. I fired my ’03-A3 and got 91+94-1X+75=260-1X, and won the tail gunner’s position, again.
We all went to the fine willow Glen Café after the match for refreshments, and were joined there by Dick Perkins. Brittany and Lynn kept the cups filled and Chernoff paid. We all thank them.
Skaneateles boys tennis team edged by Cazenovia 3-2
Time to go to ten?
By Phil Blackwell [email protected]
So the month of April concluded with the Skaneateles boys lacrosse team undefeated and atop the state Class C rankings - which only makes them the prime target of every opponent, now and in the near-future.
That certainly was the case in Friday’s game at Tully, where the Lakers trailed at halftime before a complete takeover in the late stages produced an 18-9 victory over the Black Knights.
Perhaps it took a while for Skaneateles to get used to playing on a grass field. Or maybe Tully was just fired up for the chance at an upset. Either way, the Lakers only led 5-4 after one period, and Tully continued to apply pressure in the second period.
Led by Chris Cook, who had four goals and one assist,
and Jake Guy, who produced three goals and two assists, the Black Knights took a 9-8 lead by halftime. But Tully found that, when the game resumed, its energy was gone.
Skaneateles quickly reclaimed the lead in the third quarter. Then, with Mike Richards continuing to get open and Kevin Rice continually feeding him with crisp passes, the Lakers added seven straight goals in the final period. At the same time, the Lakers’ defense clamped down, holding Tully without a goal.
All told, Richards had seven goals, plus two assists, as Rice amassed eight assists to go with his three-goal hat trick. Paul O’Donnell also scored three times, adding an assist as Brenden Major, Steve Bright, Jack Fabrizio, Con-nor O’Hara and Nate Scuderi earned one goal apiece.
This followed the Lakers’ home date with Onondaga on April 23, where a big first half again proved useful in a 13-6 victory over the Tigers.
Steady on the attack, Skaneateles scored five times in each of the first two periods and were up 10-3 on OCS at the break. Though the Tigers would slow the game down in the late stages, it could not cut into the Lakers’ comfort-able margin.
Rice and O’Donnell had a part in more than half the Lakers’ scoring plays, Rice finishing with four goals and three assists as O’Donnell got two goals and five assists. Fabrizio also scored twice, with O’Donnell earning a goal and three assists. O’Hara, Major and Steve Bright got single goals.
After playing Manlius-Pebble Hill and CBA early this week, Skaneateles plays its two most important games of the season, going to Onondaga Community College to face LaFayette Saturday at 4 p.m. and also meeting Cazenovia May 10 at the Fenner Street complex.
By Phil Blackwell [email protected]
Even with an all-weather field, the Skaneateles girls lacrosse team could not avoid having to postpone last Tuesday night’s home game against Onondaga.
However, all had cleared out by Friday, when the state Class C no. 8-ranked
Lakers squared off with no. 7-ranked Tully and put together a 14-11 win over the Black Knights.
Tully proved quite a difficult team to put away, despite the fact that Ska-neateles steadily built an 11-6 lead through a fast-paced first half. Amanda Briggs led the Black Knights with five goals and one assist as it ate away at the Lakers’ mar-
gin in the homestretch.Still, Skaneateles fin-
ished in front as Erin Cal-lahan had a part in half the scoring plays, earning four goals and three assists. Shelby McNeilly had two goals and three assists, with Carly Davis managing three goals and one assist. Emma Ford and Casey Van Slyke also had two-goal outings as Dianne Vitkus contrib-
uted a single goal.In many ways, the Lak-
ers proved more impressive than at any other time this season during its 11-9 de-feat to Farmingdale back on April 23 on Long Island.
Farmingdale is the reign-ing state Class A champi-ons, and had every right to figure it could devour Skaneateles without heavy effort. Instead, an exciting
first half saw the Lakers stay within one, 8-7, despite a frantic pace, and it stayed in the game all the way to the end.
Vitkus, with four goals, and Davis, with three goals and one assist, accounted for most of the offense. Van Slyke and McNeilly also scored, with Callahan add-ing an assist.

Determined to climb up to the top of the OHSL Liberty division, the Ska-neateles boys tennis team got blocked Friday afternoon in a 3-2 defeat to
first-place Cazenovia.In this clash of Laker powers, both
of the Skaneateles points came in singles. Ethan Wilcox dominated in a 6-1, 6-0 sweep of Lee Cudney, while Ryan Sayko also needed just two sets to get past Nick Christakos 6-3, 6-2.
Elsewhere, Matt Carroll fell to Sam Concilla 6-2, 6-0. In doubles, Dan Glaza and Shiva Sharma took a 6-1, 6-2 loss to Pat Marris and Noah Zims-meister, while Will Bersani and Matt Kallas battled hard, but fell to Crozer Conor and John Lyga 6-2, 7-5.

September, and baseball is designed to head toward a pulsating climax where every game, every inning, every pitch could decide a season’s fate.
Yet what did we have last Septem-ber? The Yankees doing everything but tank in the AL East, knowing they could slide into the wild card and beat up Minnesota again, leaving Tampa Bay to “win” by drawing another division champion from Texas – who knocked the Rays out.
Yes, the Rangers ended up winning the American League pennant, but just the fact that a division title carried no substantial reward may have stuck with Bud Selig and the MLB powers-
that-be.Word has leaked out that Selig
wants the playoffs to go from eight to 10 teams in 2012. That means an extra wild card, and the two non-division winners will play off to see who joins the main fray. It may be a single game. It may be two-out-of-three.
As with everything baseball, the de-bates are going full-blast. Some decry a further dilution of the playoff prod-uct – too many teams get in already. Others applaud Selig for recognizing a flaw in the system and working to address it.
My reaction has come in two parts. At first, there were some exhaled groans about baseball, which once just went straight to the World Series,

edging closer to NFL-NBA-NHL terri-tory with a plan to get one-third of its teams into the playoffs.
But then I started reading some of the game’s better sages, and a different view emerged.
Only since 1995 have we possessed the six-division structure and eight-team post-season. And what’s become clear is that wild-card teams are good enough to win it all – the Marlins twice, Angels in 2002 and Red Sox in 2004.
So just having the wild card was a good move. Yes, purists will point out that 100-win teams got shut out in the past (think the 1993 Giants), but it is, without question, a fairer system.
On the other hand, the unintention-al byproduct of this advancement was the fact that a division championship, hard-earned over 162 games and six months, meant close to nothing. All it gave you was an extra home game – if a playoff series got that far.
Make it a 10-team format, and sud-denly you have to win a division in order to earn a bye and a few days of much-needed rest. Division leaders, if in a tight race with a wild-card entry, will have to use their best pitchers to avoid the possibility of falling to second.
And here’s where it really can get fun. A best-of-three wild-card round would give division champs too much rest and no real advantage, either. So why not make it a one-game deal?
Think about it. Baseball has lament-ed the attention given in September to early-season football, college and pro alike. All that would change, quickly, if we knew that, a day or two after the regular season ended, two wild cards would have their seasons on the line.
There have not been too many deci-sive games in the baseball post-season
in recent years, and no Game 7 in the World Series since 2002. A 10-team playoff with a one-game wild-card classic would guarantee two win-or-else scenarios every season.
Perhaps the best post-season games of the last four years have come in situations like this. There was the 2007 Rockies-Padres epic, with Colorado going 14 innings just to get into the playoffs, fueling a run to the Fall Clas-sic. And there was the 2009 Twins-Ti-gers classic in the Metrodome, again going to extra innings before Minne-sota pulled it out.
Had they taken place in the middle of a series, diehards would remem-ber it, but few others. However, the fact that an entire season hinged on a single game made for better theater.
Sure, it’s contrived. But so is any post-season format at the end of a long regular season in any sport, where a single result can confirm, or refute, all that has taken place before.
Not too long ago, the wisdom over adding three measly teams to the NCAA basketball tournament was se-verely questioned. Then Virginia Com-monwealth, who would have missed a 65-team field, got all the way to the Final Four.
Now Major League Baseball has that chance to create a season-long buzz and to make the phrase “September to remember” more than just a cliché that rhymes. We’ve already heard some union qualms about a longer season, but why would they oppose a chance to get more players into the post-sea-son?
Bud Selig has been criticized or blamed for everything but the weather. But he wasn’t wrong about expanding the playoffs – and he isn’t wrong here, either. More is better, if done wisely.
On Monday night, April 25, sixteen trap shooters attended prac-tice. The temperature was 50 degrees, the wind was from the north east and there were rain showers. Tom Main hit the only perfect score of 25. 24’s were fired by Mike Rich-ardson, Dave Bean (twice), Tom Main and Dennis Bil-lington. Congratulations to you all. Wilma and Ron Roberts oversaw the practice and the rest of us helped. We thank you all.
On Tuesday night,
April 26, fifty-four Ska-neateles trap shooters, including five ladies, three juniors and three sub-ju-niors, visited the Camillus Club’s forty-four shooters, for the second shoot of the CNY Trap League. The temperature was 65 de-grees, the wind was from the south, and thunder storms were in the area. Skaneateles won the shoot, 196 to 194, making our record 1-0-1.
Our 25’s were fired by Dave Cady, Chris Lander, Justin Slater (a junior) and
Bill Perkins. 24’s were fired by Mary Dries, Tom Main, Ted Kochanek, Rob Rad-cliffe, Dave Bean and Urb Womer. The ladies were led by Dries. Jane Murphy hit 22, Donna Rice hit 19, Audrey Clark hit 16 and Maria Moore hit 14. The juniors were led by Slater, Trevor Parker hit 19 and Tom Stebbins got 15. The sub-juniors were led by Patrick Greenfield with 23 hits, Sam Rice got 12 and Zachary Bobbitt hit 7. Congratulations to you all.
Shoot safely.
Random thoughts From page 15 Nonprofits team up to help others at EasterWhen Bob Andrews heard
that the Rescue Mission need-ed pies for its Easter dinner, he set aside more than 250 pies.
Bob understands the needs of a nonprofit like the Rescue Mission because he is business development manager for a nonprofit bakery in Oneida called Alternatives, an indus-trial enterprise of Madison Cortland ARC that employs adults with disabilities.
Alternatives delivered 252 six-inch fruit pies to the Res-cue Mission’s Food Services Center at 148 Gifford Street in Syracuse on Good Friday, two days before the Easter dinner. Receiving the pies on behalf of the Rescue Mission was Bob Purtell, food development coordinator.
Bob Andrews said he hopes this is the first of many oppor-
tunities where Alternatives can collaborate again with the Rescue Mission.
“We appreciate Alterna-tives’ generous response to
our Easter dinner needs and look forward to an ongoing partnership,” Rescue Mission Executive Director Chasz. Parker said.
Bob Andrews, left, business development manager for Madison Cortland ARC’s Alternatives bakery, holding his 1-year-old daughter, Jessica, delivers more than 250 pies to the Rescue Mission. Receiving the donation is Bob Purtell, food development coordinator for the Rescue Mission, which used the pies for its Easter dinner.
