FROM THE editor

The birds are chirping, the sun is shin-ing and the flowers are blooming. Spring seems to finally be here!

So is my annual affliction: Spring fever.I no longer want to wear pants that are

longer than just below the knee and skirts and dresses are much more appealing to me than usual workplace attire, so I am busily sorting through my clothes, attempting to determine what purchases need to be made in order to round out my spring/summer togs.

I always find it interesting that many of my favorites from last spring are no longer as appealing - retailers must be banking on this, if the inventory of stores is anything to go by. It seems all of the apparel de-partments are full of swim gear, shorts, tank tops, T-shirts, sundresses and the like.

So, what annual purchases are must-haves for your family’s sum-mer wardrobe? See page 12 for some suggestions for your spouse and yourself.

Another ritual for me with the dawn of warmer weather is a beauty regimen in order to update my look now that the gloomier days of winter are over.

It may seem silly, but highlights in my hair just seem to reflect the lightness of spirit I embrace in the spring.

And don’t forget that it’s sandal season! Why not head out to somewhere like Innovations Salon & Spa (see ad on this page) and get a pedicure in one of the hot colors of the season? It’s nice to have a mani-cure because the salon makes sure your foot, from the tip of your toe to the back of your heel, is soft and healthy looking, suitable for showing off some of the amazing footwear available in stores at this time of year.

I also will head in for a manicure, although that is a year-round must for me, since I am too lazy and don’t have time to keep up with my nails myself. I always get a French manicure, which goes with everything, but there are plenty of great options for color – from neon brights to soft pastels to stark black – with which to make your own statement.

If you want a glow, there are, of course, tanning salons, with stand-up booths all the rage or, for those concerned about the toll of tanning rays on the skin, a spray tan or self tanners are a healthier option.

There’s nothing like driving around with the windows down and a song on the radio and in your heart.

This spring, I’ll be ready.

CNY travel agent experiences Disney magic firsthand

Sharon Barnes from Travel Leaders, Bayberry Plaza, was among more than 500 top-producing travel agency owners, managers and agents who recently gathered onboard the new Disney Cruise ship “Disney Fantasy” for the 2012 Disney’s EarMarked Confer-ence – a program especially designed for agencies with the “Authorized Disney Vacation Planner” designation.

As a conference delegate, Barnes was one of the first to experience the exciting fea-tures that are part of the newest Disney Cruise Line ship. Barnes also heard from key Disney leaders and learned what’s new and what’s next for their clients at Disney vacation destinations.

Travel Leaders has been in business in Liverpool for 15 years, and has been designated by Disney Destinations as an “Authorized Disney Vacation Planner” based on its strong support in selling Disney vacations. Their expertise includes the Disneyland Resorts, the Walt Disney World Resorts, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii.

Many travel counselors at Travel Leaders – Bayberry Plaza have received extensive training on Disney theme parks, resorts, cruises, vacations packages and more, and can provide the utmost in professional assistance in planning customized Disney vacations. In fact, one reason the agency has been designated an “Authorized Disney Vacation Plan-ner” is that at least half of its leisure travel counselors have completed Disney Destinations Genius online training courses, which are in depth, comprehensive programs that allows agents to develop their expertise in planning Disney vacations.

What is “Adventures By Disney?” Call 622-2040 for more details.

Liverpool resident Jef-frey Merola wears many hats – he is a teacher at Webster Elementary in the Syracuse City School District who has coached high school football for the past 18 years - 16 at Solvay and the past two at the Institute of Technology in Syracuse. He’s husband to Lori Merola and father to Megan, 10, and Merino, 6.

One hat he has worn over the years has added the title of author to his resume. That hat can be found in many varieties today, but the most classic version is all black with an impossibly round ear sprouting from either side.

That’s right, that American icon, Mickey Mouse, and his east coast home, Walt Disney World, having captured Merola with their magic, have now been captured by the author on the pages of his book The Busy Family’s Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2012,” recently released on Kindle and in print.

By amanda SeefA public access point along Nine Mile Creek was filled by local fisherman

in the first week of trout season.The location on Airport Road in Camillus runs along the creek, offering a

stairwell and trails to access the creek about a mile north of Amboy dam.“Before, it wasn’t easy having to hike through the woods with fishing

poles,” said North Syracuse fisherman Chris Daniszewski. He and his cousin, Robert Precourt, of Solvay, were checking out the site for the first time Monday. It opened along with trout season on Sunday, April 1.

“We try out a lot of spots on Nine Mile, but we haven’t had a lot of luck,” said Precourt. “This looks a little better around here.”

The point is located on property owned by Honeywell, the company who is spear-heading the Onondaga Lake cleanup project, and is one of two that Honeywell has opened. The second is on Onondaga Creek in the Tully Valley.

The community helped design the points, allowing for safe parking and access to the creek. Honeywell and the state Department of Environmental Conservation worked together in the fall to hold meetings where local groups could suggest ways to improve access, enhance safety and provide for a better fishing experience.

“Nine Mile Creek is recognized as one of the best trout fishing streams in this region,” said David Tarr from the Iroquois Chapter of Trout Unlimited. “Providing public access in these unique locations will offer a better fishing experience and help provide an opportunity to educate younger generations

about conserving fish habitats.”The Nine Mile Creek Conserva-

tion Council has helped design a trail to connect a forthcoming dock to the parking area. The new dock will allow for launching of canoes and kayaks on Nine Mile Creek.

“Providing public fishing access on Nine Mile and Onondaga Creeks reflects Honeywell’s commitment to involving local community members throughout the Onondaga Lake cleanup,” said Stephen Wowelko, president of the Onondaga County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. “Sportsmen have long wanted ac-cess to these creeks for fishing and other outdoor recreational activities, and now that vision is turning into a reality.”

This summer, work will begin to fix forested wetlands, enhance stream conditions for fish spawning and migration, and to improve habitat condi-tions in the area of Nine Mile Creek closest to Onondaga Lake.

Nine Mile Creek runs north from Otisco Lake into Onondaga Lake.

Fish Carpenter’s BrookCarpenter’s Brook Fish Hatchery has been busy gearing

up for trout fishing season and County Executive Joanie Mahoney is pleased to announce the return of the popular Public Fishing program.

Families and individuals can now enjoy a morning of fishing at the facility. Sessions will be offered each Saturday,

9:30-11:30 a.m., through May 26. The cost to fish is $5 per person with bait, rods and reels provided. Reservations are required by call-ing 451-6249.

Carpenter’s Brook Fish Hatch-ery, an Onondaga County Park, is located on Route 321 in Elbridge.

For more information, call 689-9367 or visit OnondagaCoun-tyParks.com.

Go where the fish areIt’s no wonder that Nine Mile Creek gets the most traffic of the many

trout streams around Central New York: it’s full of fish!Whether you’re a trout enthusiast or new to the sport, knowing where

the fish are is a key to success. Each spring, the state Department of Environmental Conservation stocks tens of thousands of trout in area streams. The vast majority of the stocked fish are 8 to 9 inches long, but the DEC also stocks a number of 12 to 15 inchers in local waters. That’s a catch that can make your day!

Below is a list of the top five most heavily-stocked streams in the greater Syracuse area.

Important dates for anglers:The opening day of trout season, which for Central

New Yorkers signals that spring has arrived, came on April 1. The season lasts through Oct. 15 in most places, but is open longer than that North of Route 20 in many area streams.

But for many of the big game fish, the season starts on the first Saturday of May (this year it’s May 5). That’s when it becomes legal to catch and keep northern pike, muskies, pickerel, and that staple of Oneida Lake, the walleye pike. If you head up to the shores of Oneida Lake on opening day, you won’t have to look hard to find a pancake breakfast or fish fry celebrating the day.

Bass season for both large mouths and small mouths opens on the third Saturday in June (June 16). Al-though fishermen can catch and release bass before that date, if you do fish for bass in the spring, try to steer clear of their spawning beds so they can continue to make little bass that will make future seasons fruitful.

For over 100 years Bartlett Tree Experts has provided tree and shrub pruning, pest and disease management, fertilization, removal and more at your home or business. If it’s about trees trust the teamat Bartlett.


Ask the expertProtect your trees from a deadly pest

For local ash trees, the arrival of a devastating pest in Western and parts of Central New York is very bad news. The Emerald Ash Borer has been an unwelcome guest in the United States for several years, but until recently it had not been found in our area. Unfortunately, all that’s changed and the beautiful ash trees that shade our neighborhoods and line our streets are now in danger.

Recently, various media have shared the ramifications of Emerald Ash Borers on local ash trees. In their larval stage, these beetles bore into trees causing thinning of the tree canopy and branch dieback. While it is true that in most cases infested trees die after three to four years, residents should not give up hope for their trees.

Significant research has and is currently being conducted to yield treatment options. In Michigan, where it’s suspected that the borer has been present for over ten years, a study by Michigan State University has proven that there are valid treatments.

Tests indicate that although severely infested trees typically cannot be saved, attacks on healthy trees can be prevented.

Locally, leading tree care provider Bartlett Tree Experts is working to preserve trees and help educate property owners on this pest. “It is extremely important that residents understand what this pest can do, how it spreads, and what can be done to prevent loss of this important component of our urban forest,” said Mike Gorham of Bartlett’s office in Syracuse.

According to Gorham, scientists have developed specific treatment recommendations for managing this pest.

In fact, Bartlett offices in other states with Emerald Ash Borer have already implemented these recommendations and are successfully preserving trees. Periodic inspections, prompt removal of infested trees and annual treatments with the appropriate insecticides are just part of this success.

Gorham, a Board Certified Master Arborist, urges property owners to remember that each tree is different and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. “In many ways, trees are like humans and pets. Each tree responds differently to stressors and the prescribed treatments,” said Gorham.

“By assessing trees individually, we can determine how to best treat them. Or, if removal is the only option, we can do so in a way to help protect other trees on the property from the same fate.”

The annual Jellystone Park Open House will be May 18 - 20. The park will be open on Saturday and Sunday for the general public to tour the park facilities. There will be wagon rides, children’s activi-ties, games with Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, a camper yard sale, craft-ers and entertainment. A great spring family fun day!

In May one of the newer recreation phe-nomenons for camping

guests — the Jumping Pillow — was installed. The camper response was truly awesome by all ages. Children, parents and grandparents could be

observed bouncing on the pillow from opening until closing each day. The pillow is roughly 34 feet by 70 feet and can accommodate as

many as 45 people of varied ages and weights. Parents remarked that family members were

tired at the end of the day. They were ready to relax by the campfire then get some rest to be ready for the Pillow the next day. Bouncing — fun and healthy exercise at the same time.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is lo-cated at 601 County Route 16, Mexico.

For more information call 963-7096 or visit jellystonec-ny.com. Propane is available year-round; call ahead. Store hours starting April 1 are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Family tubing at Jellytone Park is great fun for the whole family.

Recreation for people of all abilities

RISE at the Farm offers year-round

recreation for people of all abilities, and this summer is no exception. With horseback riding, horse cart driving, acces-sible fishing, high and low ropes challenge courses, and a paved path for walking or cycling of all kinds, ARISE at the Farm offers something fun for everyone. Located at 1972 New Boston Road in Chittenango, ARISE at the Farm is a short drive from Syracuse and in the heart of Central New York.

Horsemanship Camps encourage youth to learn how to ride horseback and also how to care for horses. Camps run Monday through Thursday and start on July 9. Therapeutic Riding takes place 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, in half-hour or hour sessions. People of all ages increase strength, mobility, and cognitive skills while having fun on horseback. There are some eligibility requirements for camps and riding sessions.

The second annual ARISE and Ride at the Farm, a fun-filled family event, will be July 28. Participants can register to ride 10 or 25 miles through the Chittenango countryside, or join us for the Farm Festival that will run all afternoon. It’s the perfect time to see all that ARISE at the Farm has to offer.

For more information or to sign up for activities, contact Laura Little, ARISE at the Farm Manager, at (315) 687-6727, [email protected] or visit ariseatthefarm.org.

ARISE serves children and adults with disabilities through more than 50 programs and services in several broad areas including advocacy, employment, independent living supports, information and referral services, inclusive recreation programs, mental health services, and peer coun-seling. Programs are primarily based in Onondaga, Oswego, and Madison Counties, though some programs serve an 8-county region across Central and Northern New York.

ARISE has offices in Onondaga, Oswego, and Madison Counties and operates ARISE at the Farm, a 77-acre recreational facility in Chittenango, NY, and ARISE & Ski at Toggenburg Winter Sports Center in Fabius, NY.

ooking for a challenge? Here are nine great holes at public courses around Central New York. Some make the list

for their confounding obstacles while others just provide a fair test and a pretty view. All are worth checking out.

Seven Oaks - No.1Par 4 – 335/405/433It may not be the signature hole, but the

first at Seven Oaks provides as stiff a challenge as any hole on the course. With the campus as a backdrop, a good tee shot to the landing area in front of the creek leaves an uphill second shot to a well-bunkered green with a lateral hazard looming on the left. The green slopes severely in the front, up to a large plateau in the back. A par will make even the best golfer smile … until he realizes there are 17 more challenges ahead.

Camillus Country Club - No.14Par 5 – 420/494/502At 500 or so yards, with little bunkering

and no water, accomplished golfers will look at this hole as a birdie opportunity. But while birdies can be had, so can snowmen. More of a semi-circle than a dogleg, woods on both sides find more than their fair share of errant shots, and any shot with a left-to-right tail on it will have the owner reaching into their pocket for

another ball. The hole culminates in a long, narrow green that looks pool table flat, but has subtle, unrecognizable breaks. Members at the course often play the hole with three mid-irons, and happily walk away with par.

Radisson Greens - No. 3Par 5 – 437/514/578The third at Radisson regularly makes lists

of the area’s top holes, and for good reason. This three-shot par-5 offers multiple chal-lenges to low- and high-handicappers alike. The tee shot comes out of a wooded shoot down to a landing area in front of a large pond – but don’t go too far, or you’ll be penalized before you even get started. From there, the second shot is a lay up to a fairway that gets narrower the more you try to bite off. If you manage the first two shots unscathed, you have a short iron over the edge of the pond to a small, sloping target. Good luck.

Green Lakes - No. 1Par 4 – 395/363/355The first hole at Green Lakes isn’t the best

hole on the course. It doesn’t provide the stiff-est challenge or the most unique experience. What it does provide is the best view. Waiting for your round to get underway at this beau-tiful spot doesn’t seem like a wait at all. The

hole cascades down the side of a steep hill to an undulating fairway, leaving a short iron to a bowl shaped green. But it’s the vistas from the tee box that you’ll remember.

Erie Village - No. 16Par 4 – 294/275/203No guts, no glory. This tiny little hole is one

of the best short par-4s in Central New York. The hole can be played around the water with a long iron and wedge, or straight across the pond to the smallish green with a driver. The carry from the back tees is less than 260 yards, so it’s driv-able for advanced players, but danger lurks on all sides. So what’s it gonna be? Lay up, and work for a par, or bang one over the hazard and make a birdie? Like I said … no guts, no glory.

Lafayette hills Golf & CC - No. 9Par 4 – 384/374/293Although short by comparison with many

of the par-4s at Lafayette, the 9th is one of the most challenging, with an awkward tee shot to a landing area in between trees on the right and some ball gobbling bushes on the left. A good tee shot leaves a mid-iron approach straight up the hill to a green that slopes steeply from back to front. Don’t go long of this pin, or you’ll be putting for a while.

Lnine great holes found in cnY

See Nine great on page 26


timber Banks - No. 2Par 5 – 558/514/405It took a lot of imagination for Jack Nicklaus’ team to carve this

hole out of the woods and fields hard by the Seneca River. Like many holes on this tricky course, it is protected by the three Ws: woods, waste areas and water. Target golf at its finest, you may end up hitting driver, 8-iron, 7-iron and be in good shape. But Timber Banks is known for greens that play tricks, and the second is no exception, with a massive swale in the middle of the green that can send balls skipping off in any direction to the collection areas beside the green. Playing it safe is usually the way to go, but on this hole, playing it safe is hard.

Foxfire at Village Green - No. 3Par 3 – 180/155/133Pick your poison. It’s picturesque from the tee, but don’t let that fool

you. If you protect too much from the woods on the right, you’ll pull it into the water on the left. If that water gives you a chill, you might over compensate and send one into the bushes. And if you hit it straight at the pin, make sure you don’t go long, as that’s dead as well. Maybe it’s better just to stand up on the tee, enjoy the view and let your partner go first.

Conklin Players Club - No. 8Par 4 – 420/360/300How much do you want to chew off? The tee shot on this treacher-

ous test of golf goes across the edge of a large lagoon to a fairway that works away from you and to the right. If you bite off too much, you’ll be hitting your third from the drop zone. Bite off too little and you’ll be out of reach for your second shot. Hit the perfect drive and you’re still left with a treacherous second shot to a green that cozies up to the other end of the pond. Although Conklin is a bit of a drive from Syracuse, tests like these make it worth the trip.

timber Banks- getting into the swing of things

Another golf season is upon us and finally we can say that it is here early! The weather last month brought out Central New York golfers in masses to courses all across Onondaga County and Timber Banks was no different. “We could see a record number of rounds this year” says Timber Banks General Manager, Perry Noun III. “With the extreme warm temps, we have seen players we usually do not see until mid May. Now, everyone is thinking golf.” Not only could we see a record number of rounds in Syracuse this year but the golf course conditions should be better as well. The Superintendent at Timber Banks Kyle Erdige uttered similar remarks, “The grass has started to grow early this year. This gives us the

Nine great from page 25

See Timber Banks on page 27


opportunity to get out and start working ahead of schedule. The course will be in better shape than last year and it will get better, faster.” This will be a tall task for the folks at Timber Banks considering the conditions they have produced over the past few years.

Timber Banks is not only making noise locally. Golfweek Magazine ranked them the 16th best new course in the country for 2011 as well as ranking them No.15 on the best courses in New York State. Impressive accolades for a facility that we are proud to have right here in Central New York!

Among the various tournaments that Timber Banks will host this year is the local US Open Qualifier which will take place on May 15. The owner and developer, Gary Pooler is proud to have this event “It is a testament to all of the hard work that so many have put in over the past few years. I know that it will be a great event and all of the participants will be pleased with our golf course. I wish them all luck.”

The success that the Timber Banks golf Club has had over the past few seasons is spilling over to the real estate side of the community as well. “We can see the real estate market turning around” says Gary Pooler, “I believe that 2012 is going to be a huge year for lot sales. Real estate markets are resilient and we are in a great posi-tion to capitalize.” @home Builders and Heritage Homes, the two builders at Timber Banks, offer a variety of homes from The Villa’s and patio homes to custom single family and estate homes. New models are now open so stop down to say hello.

The momentum is also building for the Timber Banks Wedding & Banquet Center. 2011 was a busy year for the newest banquet facility in Central New York and 2012 is looking even better. The Wedding & Special Events Coordina-tor at Timber Banks- Angela Pudney said “With the bookings we already have for 2012 we are going to see exponential growth on this side of the business. It is exciting to be a part of some-thing so unique and special.” Angela has already booked several weddings for 2012 and accord-ing to her, dates for 2013 are going fast. General Manager- Perry Noun III said “We have the premier outdoor venue in Central New York and combined with our ceremony site on the Seneca River as well as the photo opportunities on the golf course, we have a very special product.”

The Timber Banks Golf Academy will be expanding as well. With Director of Instruction- Kevin Savage and Playing Professional- Jim Roy both returning, the buzz has started. Assistant Professional- Evan LaBarge will be back as well with our junior programs which include the 2nd year that Timber Banks will host the US Kids Golf Camp. “Last year we were 1 of 6 facilities nationwide to host this program and we are excited to host it again this year” said Savage. The Academy will also have private and group lessons, corporate clinics, playing lessons and seminars available.

There are a couple of models, but the club is fully-adjustable and starts at just un-der $300, on the low- to middle-end of high performance drivers. The bright white head takes a little getting used to, as does the name, but the early reviews are strong. RBZ drivers are available at many area sport-ing goods stories and pro shops.

the Masters might have caught his striking new footwear – the FJ Sport Color from FootJoy. The new FJ Sport features FootJoy’s ProofGuard mem-brane technology that provides superb waterproof protection, as well as breathability. No word on when the colored versions will be available on store shelves, but a number of other, more conservative, styles are available at stores around Central New York for between $129 and $149.

ild Carp Companies will present the Second Annual Wild Carp Week May

19-25 in Baldwinsville. Wild Carp Week once again features five

carp angling tournaments in seven challeng-ing days, and this year’s event will determine which carp angling professional is national champion.

Wild Carp Week begins with a kick-off event on Baldwinsville’s Mercer Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 19. The kick-off is free and open to the public. Here anglers will be able to register for events, eat, socialize and watch the Celebrity Carp Challenge.

The Celebrity Carp Challenge will showcase local celebrities fishing as a team with local carp professionals and vying for the biggest carp caught during the event. All celebrity anglers will win cash prizes that will be awarded to the charity of their choice.

The opening tournament, the Wild Carp Classic, will showcase some of the world’s best Carp anglers competing as teams for 50 con-secutive hours. This grueling endurance event has produced over 125,000 lbs of carp caught and released in five years of competi-tion.

The team of Mi-hai Acui and Bogdan Bucur dominated the 2011 field with 84 fish at more than 1,500 pounds. The pair will be back in 2012 repre-senting Extreme Carp Fishing and looking to repeat, a task that may prove difficult with professional pairs the likes of Rafter/Terriah, Eldridge/Sylar and Strache/Brooks to contend with.

The week’s remaining lineup consists of the Big Carp Challenge, Big 4 Challenge and Total Weight Challenge. Last year these challenges functioned as standalone events, but in 2012 they

will carry point values that combine to determine the United States Carp angling champion. All challenge events will be limited to the first 40 registered anglers.

The Big Carp Challenge will test the anglers’ ability to target large Carp and awards prizes on an hourly basis. K-1 Baits’ Colin Peters won the consecutive hours in 2011 with 32.3-pound and 30.7-pound carp and looks to duplicate his success in 2012.

The Big 4 Chal-lenge will test the an-glers’ ability to target large Carp, with prizes being awarded for the

cumulative weight of their four largest carp caught for the entire day. Extreme Carp Fishing’s Bogdan Bucur bested K-1 Baits’ John Bramley by just under 3 pounds in 2011 with 110.2 pounds.
