Opinion Editorial

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 inattention 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 sharpened 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. Listening 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!

Snapping out of it What a cold snap we’ve had since last Wednesday’s snowfall. My son Spalding skied two days at Song Mountain and said the conditions were excellent.

In fact, they were probably 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 extremely 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 President 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 conversations 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 organized 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

Joseph Along the Lakeshore

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 interior 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 something 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 insurers 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-oftown 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 Matthew 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.

From the mailbag A man of his word

To 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 getting 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. Later 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 admission letter.

The lesson of true to your word continues.

Coach Green has kept his word in sharing 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.

Marcellus Memories

50 years ago, 1961  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memories of Marcellusâ&#x20AC;? by Frank Griffing went as followsâ&#x20AC;Ś This week I will tell you about teasels. George Phillips, my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 beginning 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

raised around here were grown by Jack Byrne on Limeledge Road and Will Rickard on Mary Jane Rickard Road.  Happy Domurat Birthday notes Years went out to Ronald Frost, Alice Frost and Belva Taylor on March 31, Michael Wheeler and Charles Schuyler on April 1, Glenn Snell on the 3rd, Jean Whalen on the 7th, Helen Hunt on the 10th and Donald Newell and John Newell on the 11th. Belated wishes went out to Roger Trendowski on March 15, and Beverly Schmidt on the 18th, Sharon Sweeney on the 22nd, Bill Sweeney on the 24th, Gary Schoonmaker on the 26th and Larry Birchmeyer on the 27th.

Eddie Sharpe celebrated

ago Skaneateles. Gallop Brothers 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 building 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

Assemblyman responds to state budget passing

Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C,I â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pulaski) issued the following statement after the budget passed when session continued late into the night: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased the budget was enacted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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. Previous 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that creates jobs and

grows our economy. Job growth would restore funding to those areas and programs which experienced steep cuts this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 governments and school districts, which would help lower property taxes for New Yorkers and keep residents and jobs here.â&#x20AC;?

The Honors 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 students: David Bush, David Driver, Rose Anne Frost, Dawn Harkness, Roberta Little, Elizabeth McNally, Susan Raynor, Christopher Wiles, David Smith and Mary Ann Wilcox.  George Washington may have never told a lieâ&#x20AC;Ś but he was relatively new to politics.Â

Skaneateles grad Americorps volunteer Katherine Figura, a 2005 gradate 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 Civilian Community Corps, an AmeriCorps program.

As a corps member, Figura will spend 10 months getting things done for America and its communities. Figura and her team will work on four projects involving environmental 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 community 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 understanding of some of the harsher realities that many Americans face,” Figura said.

After her 10-month stint, Figura

will graduate from NCCC on November 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 involved in a six-week service project at a Maryland state park.

AmeriCorps NCCC is a leadership 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.

Demonstrating humanitarian spirit

The 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 Cummings, Jacob Cummings, Jimmy Dauenhauer, 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 efforts of these young heroes in our community for their humanitarian spirit and selflessness. To date, the local Chapter has received $1,686 from the community

Hope springs eternal Girls lax Lakers rally Chiefs return to Alliance Bank Stadium April 13

By Russ Tarby With a bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dozen returning players, a new no-nonsense manager and several proven sluggers, the Syracuse 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 Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup championship in 1976.

The Chiefs are now in their third year as the top affiliate of the Washington Nationals.

New manager Randy Knorr, who played with the Chiefs in the early1990s before becoming a journeyman major-league catcher, expects pitching to be the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strong suit.

Hurlers with previous Triple-A service here include right-handers Collin

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

Righty Cole Kimball and lefty Tom Milone are up from Double-A Harrisburg, and southpaw Lee Hyde is here from the ILâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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-hitter Michael Aubrey, will DH and play some first base. Last year he knocked out 22 home runs, two triples and 25 doubles for the ILâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Norfolk Tides.

Chiefs infielders include 21-year-old See Chiefs, page 23

past Marcellus again

Nothing new in this tale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once again, the Skaneateles 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 nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-8 victory at Marcellus was no different.

Once down by four goals in the second half, the Lakers 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 Morrissey is now at Duke, most of the starting lineup is back, including two juniors who just made Division I verbal commitments Shelby McNeilly to Cornell, 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 Floridabound senior had opened the season with six goals (surpassing the 200-goal mark for her career) as the Mustangs romped past Cicero-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 gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempo, never letting Marcellus 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 converted to slash the margin to 7-6 before Barryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth goal with 11:19 left restored the margin. But that would be the Mustangsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last goal of the night as goalie Shannon Byrne, along with defenders 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 yellow 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 ensuing draw, worked down the clock and drew a foul with 5.6 seconds to play.

Callahan had the free-position 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, Skaneateles rolled through Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home opener against Cazenovia, smashing 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 Cazenoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Nicole Beaston had the other goals.

Skaneateles now gets another full week to practice and work on its game before next Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch with Cazenovia at the Fenner Street complex â&#x20AC;&#x201C; followed immediately by a home game with long-time Class A power FayettevilleManlius on April 12.

Syracuse Home specializes in short-term rehabilitation In a blink of an eye, Michelle 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 received at Syracuse Home.

The therapists are welltrained, supportive and committed to helping us return home to our families,” says Rurka.

Syracuse Home’s comprehensive short-term rehabilitation has rapidly become one of Central New York’s most recommende d prog rams.

Physical and occupational therapies develop skills that enable residents 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 wonderful it felt to actually walk into my home. I can’t say enough about my

experience. The nurses went above and beyond their normal duties to address my individual needs. I highly recommend Syracuse Home for short-term rehabilitation,” says Rurka.

Occupational therapies address muscle strength, range of motion, plus cognitive and visual skills that enhance every day activities. When appropriate, speech therapies address treatment and management of communication impairments as well as swallowing disorders.

Located on a beautiful 150-acre campus in historic Baldwinsville, Syracuse Home offers a full continuum of healthcare programs and services for seniors including; independent retirement living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing care and short-term reha-

source that helps to improve 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 professional will exami=ne your mouth and look for any abnormalities.

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

3. Then, your dental professional 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 examination that includes ViziLite Plus, and will see that everything looks completely normal. That is good news!

However, there may be times when your dental professional identifies something that looks abnormal. 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 chronic 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 population. 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 dental provider, Dr. Shapero is featuring a New Patient Special. Receive a free exam with cleaning and X-ray.

navigate our own internal changes while also navigating all the various changes in the economy and banking regulations,” Russo said.

“Many small banks face a merger at the time executive and senior officers retire,” she said. “The continued viability of Seneca Federal is not only a tribute to the board, but also to the retiring officers and employees who provided others with the knowledge and skill sets necessary for the association to carry on for many more decades under the thrift charter and to this end we are very thankful to be given this opportunity entrusted to us.”

Looking ahead to 2011, management remains committed to maintaining a steady course in carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to them by the board, as the merger between the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of The Comptroller of the Currency occurs in July of this year.

“The extensive regulatory changes brought about by the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the passing of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 marks yet another transformation in banking activities, which can stretch the resources of small community banks,” points out Russo.

Reform will be far reaching into such areas as Federal consumer protection law compliance, state law compliance, and Homeland Security Regulations. The regulatory burden is always disproportionately heavy for reputable lenders such as Seneca Federal as attempts are made by the federal government to police the dishonest few. Russo is emphatic that the 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.

CANCER BEWARE “I had cancer.

Cancer never had me.”

Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time.

Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.

Skaneateles Rod and Gun Club News

By Wayne Lear Three riflemen met at our range at 0900, Saturday, Mar. 26, to participate 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

Submitted photo

Co-presidents Kathy Gorr and Nedra Russell, along with Judy Lindsey, Public Policy Vice president, as they plan programs for the rest of the year.

The Skaneateles Branch of the American Association 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 suffragettes’ 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 Ironjawed Angels, which depicts the suffering of the suffragettes 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 Foundation, 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 Fugitive Slave Law. The AAUW annual “Issues at Breakfast” will be held at the Skaneateles Country Club Saturday May 14 and is open to the public. For more information, call Cynthia MacBain at 685-1931.

Chiefs From page 10 Madness first baseman Chris Marrero, who hit 18 homers for Harrisburg last year.

Brian Bixler and Seth Bynum – who both played well here last year – will play the middle positions with Chris McConnell, and Alex Valdez will play third. Last season, McConnell 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 1 3 , ag ai nst t he Pawtucket Red Sox. The s e r i e s c ont i nu e s at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 14, 7 p.m. Friday, April 15, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 16.

Alliance Bank Stadium is on the North Side, just east of the Regional Market, at Tex Simone 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; syracusechiefs.com.

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.

From page 10 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 committee, and play 16 games Tuesday and Wednesday, 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 between 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 basketball, 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.
