Sycamore Hill pond.

Skaneateles native, best-selling author to speak at CCC Best-selling author and Cayuga Community College alumna Kim Edwards, Class of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;78, returns to the area that inspired her latest book to deliver â&#x20AC;&#x153;To The Lake of Dreams: One Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journeyâ&#x20AC;? at 7 p.m. Wednesday April 27. The talk, which is part of the Noreen and Michael J. Falcone Lecture Series, will be held in the Irene A. Bisgrove Community Theatre at Cayuga Community College, 197 Franklin St., Auburn. The event is free and open to the public.

While on campus, Edwards will speak to a gathering of several English classes and meet with some faculty and administrators.

Copies of Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; books will be available for purchase at the evening public talk, which will be followed by a book signing.

In her latest novel, Edwards reportedly

drew on her childhood experiences in her former home of Skaneateles, keeping a china bowl full of Finger Lakes shale on her desk for inspiration as she wrote. Set in the Finger Lakes region, the book tells â&#x20AC;&#x153;the story of Lucy Jarrett and her discovery of a hidden past, glimpsed first through fragments of old letters and traces left in stained glass windows.

Lucyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest through the artifacts of history brings her face to face with the dynamics she fled the summer after her father drowned; it compels her to make an inward journey, too, one that will alter her understanding of herself and change the course of her life,â&#x20AC;? according to Edwards.

Her previous novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Memory Keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daughter,â&#x20AC;? won a Barnes and Noble Discover Award pick and became a word-

of-mouth best-seller, spending 122 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, 20 of those weeks at #1. Published in more than 38 countries, it was also a best seller in Italy, France, Germany, England, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Holland, and Taiwan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Memory Keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daughterâ&#x20AC;? won the Kentucky Literary Award and the British Book Award, and was chosen as Book of the Year for 2006 by USA Today. It was made into a 2008 television movie, starring Emily Watson, Dermot Mulroney and Gretchen Mol. In the story, a doctor who delivers his own twins gives away his daughter at birth to prevent his wife and his healthy newborn son from knowing the baby girl was born with Down syndrome.

Kim Edwards

Creekside hailed an immediate success for her precise language, and her skill at measuring the natural power of her native land. Her poetry has appeared in publications such as Southern Review, Poetry and North American Review, and on the website Verse Daily. Her collections include Bone Strings, Violet Transparent and most recently A Measureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hush. She also co-edited Crosscurrents North, a collection of environmentally themed essays and poems.

To Corayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elegiac meditations, Kahnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hard Way Homeâ&#x20AC;? juxtaposes lean narratives of (as the subtitle has it) adventure, friendship and the hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a perfect balance, he notes, for marital bliss.

Born and raised in Alaska, Kahn has worked as a wilderness lodge caretaker, a commercial fisherman, and a hunting and fishing guide.

As a writer, Kahn says his goal is to communicate a renewed feeling of respect and appreciation for the Alaskan environment and a sense of

history, of what Alaska was like in the recent past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, I really want to document some Alaska history that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, to my knowledge, been covered in literature. For example, offering a personal perspective of the big-game guiding industry beyond just hunting yarns, giving a deck-level view of work-

ing on the Exxon Valdez oil spill far outside of Prince William Sound, providing the background story of the Farewell Burn.â&#x20AC;?

In his work the people, geography, politics and culture of Alaska are all considered from an intimate perspective, leading to hardearned lessons about conservation, sustainability and

living well. Ever the guide, Kahn invites readers in to share his experiences and discoveries and to consider questions about a place and a life that is rapidly disappearing. When he speaks at the Creekside next Saturday, he may even share his recipe for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tangcakes,â&#x20AC;? a specialty born out of depleted camp ingredients.

But her primary motive for writing is to try to change the world, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as if it were possible, through written expression, to change humanityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genetic code,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Opinion Editorial

Support fire departments April 10 through 16 marks National Volunteer Week.

While there are many opportunities to volunteer in greater Baldwinsville, our local fire departments are facing a shortage of volunteers, which is one of the reasons departments such as Skaneateles are looking into operating more efficiently through consolidation and shared services. These efforts aren’t enough, though. More volunteers are needed.

Fire departments throughout New York State have had a tough time recruiting and retaining volunteers for a variety of reasons.

For one, today’s economy makes it difficult to find the time to volunteer, especially considering many people work two or more jobs, not to mention familial commitments.

However, fire departments need to increase emergency responder numbers so they can continue to provide the optimum level of protection for residents. More than ever, they need more of their neighbors joining the fire department, and not just firefighters.

Check out what volunteer opportunities these departments have to offer and whether you have the time to lend a hand.

Warmer weather means more friends for Mr. Lemon Joseph

Sunday was a great day for a walk around the Spalding village. Sue and I are not interested in walking Mr. Lemon up our driveway along Route 41A, so we loaded him into the Trailblazer and headed off to the village. We found a convenient spot close to Doug’s, where we planned to reward ourselves with a hot dog when we completed our circuit.

The three of us marched briskly east on the north side of East Genesee Street. About four sidewalk blocks south of Leitch Avenue, I caught the toe of my left shoe on a raised corner of the sidewalk. It was only about 1¼” high, but I was launched on one of my patented “not picking your feet up enough” falls. No great damage was done, but the preparation to arise without a handy wall or tree to get me started was a puzzle for about a minute or two. A rather small man arrived from a parked car and we tried a maneuver. Unfortunately, we were not particularly successful.

Suddenly, I started to rise up and when I looked

Along the Lakeshore

Mr. Lemon down, I saw two large sneakers with yellow stripes next to me. I felt a strong pull in my underarm area and I was upright again. A familiar face was smiling at me and he and his wife were checking that I was OK. I am sure that I would eventually have worked out See Weather, page 14

It’s going around Ann

This all started after a perfectly wonderful lunch with a friend at which we enjoyed what we consider Ramblings to be some of the best fare from the in Little Italy. No matempty nest ter that I had blown my daily allotment of Weight Watcher points, my well-fed and salubrious mood continued through a bit of grocery shopping as I headed home.

Somewhere around three o’clock or so I noted that something was not quite right — a bit of agita, as my husband’s people would say. OK, I did indulge in a lot of olive oil and garlic, and my digestive system isn’t as young as it used to be. Who am I kidding? I spend a fortune on drugs to control its off kilter manner of moving sustenance into energy, so a little stomach something-orother isn’t unusual. I forged ahead into the late afternoon until the agita, which began as just a little niggling thing, began to resemble something that might be measured on the Richter scale. There were rumbles coming from my innards that startled the cat. “This is not good,” I thought.

Antacid didn’t work and I began to become a tad apprehensive since the contents on the inside of me appeared to be edging quickly to the outside. Then, all heck (I cleaned that up because I know that some nuns read this) broke loose. When my children were small and similarly afflicted we would call this a bucket call. Thank God I had a bucket and two commodes at the ready.

Appropriately, the cat, a male, seemed to think all of this was a game and watched me in my misery while crying loudly for his supper.

At one point, head now aching along with everything else, I knew that it was time for serious medicine. I dug out my cache of ginger ale. I sat on the living room sofa, wrapped in a blanket praying for something, anything to feel close to normal. My abdomen was in knots, painful ones at that. Since nothing would stay down or up except small sips of ginger ale, there was little I could do. Still, through all of the self-pity, I knew that sooner or later both ends of my alimentary canal would slow down.

But, as I sat there, retribution toward the causal agent or agents seemed to distract me. Was this food poisoning? I called my luncheon date. She was fine and her digestion is worse than mine. Cross that off the list. After several inept attempts at typing the word “Google” while juggling my symptoms and bathroom expeditions, I came up with a diagnosis of gastroenteritis caused by the dreaded norovirus… or as everyone else would say, the stomach bug. I reviewed all of my interactions during what the Google answer said was the incubation period, I have no idea where I contracted it. Maybe some passerby at WalMart?

I began calling and cancelling my life for an indeterminate period. No dentist appointment, no cantor rehearsal or visiting my grandchildren. After three days of wretchedness I was feeling a bit better. I made myself a simple ham sandwich on rye. Big mistake. Big mistake.

I was up all night trying to keep things down. Back to ginger ale and the couch.

Funny what goes through your mind at such junctures. One shining thought penetrated the awfulness… I would probably do very well at my next Weight Watchers weigh in. Now I have to reschedule that dentist appointment.

From the mailbag Please sign petition against hydrofracking

To the editor: This letter is a plea to town and village residents to please sign the new petition imploring the Town Board to ban hydrofracking in the Town of Skaneateles.

Please go to thepetitionsite. com/726/petition-to-ban-hydrofracking-in-the-townvillage-of-skaneateles and sign the petition, which will be forwarded to the town board.

The board is thoughtfully researching the best ways to regulate this industrial use in our rural community and they’ve imposed a temporary moratorium on any drilling while they get the new zoning legislation in place.

Please note that our state and

federal government regulations do not fully protect us under the current environmental legislation so it’s best for us to establish clear regulations in our Town & village zoning codes as soon as possible.

A blue-ribbon committee has been formed to help the board in their research. The community now has the opportunity to tell the board that we are concerned about the negative impacts of this heavy industry throughout the town and in CNY. For more information on hydrofracking and its potentially disastrous effects on our community, go to fivetownwatershed.wordpress.com.

If you own or manage a business in the community, please send a letter to the town board today expressing your opposition to hydrofracking in the town.

Physicians, economists and environmental health experts have shown that hydrofracking’s negative environmental impacts will adversely affect local business and the quality of life of our amazing community.

Send your letter to: The Town Board of Skaneateles 24 Jordan Street Skaneateles, NY 13152 Att: Supervisor Roney and the Town Board If you would like to sign a paper petition instead of going on line, please call 685-8336. This is a big deal and very time sensitive. Spread the word and let your voice be heard!

It is up to us to make this happen.

Thank you!

The group grows smaller, the memories grow fonder Charlie

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;down the roadâ&#x20AC;? group that I know keeps getting smaller. This is a photo of the Willow Glen School that closed about Swamp 1953 with centralization of to the the school district. If you Glenside are interested in a touch of history go to the historic Willow Glen CafĂŠ and view all their old photos as well as enjoying good food and atmosphere.

Frances Loperfido Tanner and Lillian Wall Wright went to school there and told me great stories of that time. Liz Kellogg Tarnow was born on Crow Hill Road and went to the Mottville School. They all have recently passed away.

Both Francis and Lillian told stories of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Briggs Room,â&#x20AC;? which was a combination store and home next to the schoolhouse, and of course they also sold candy, ice cream and soft drinks.

Sam Briggs also had a farm across the tracks toward Auburn where the Tanner family eventually lived. The woods out back toward village is still called Briggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woods. This school was heated by someone, often a student, coming early and starting a coal burning stove. Every student walked to school. If you wanted to go to seventh grade you walked to Skaneateles or took the train at bottom of hill to station in the village. Bus transportation did not start until 1939. Train

Major

tickets were 5 cents or 10 cents depending if in Mottville or Willow Glen, but you still had to walk up to school from the station next to the now Milford Building. They all said in good weather they would try walking, especially to home, as over 50 percent of the time someone would pick them up.

They did not have to always go to the grocery store in Willow Glen as Jim Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara would deliver meat from his meat market in the Falls. Roy Clark or Cadyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deliver milk and Ed Cronauer deliver groceries and of course they had their own food gardens. In Mottville they also had two stores available with Farrarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also making deliveries. Now I know why I get lost in the local Tops as many things used to be delivered. I think I will try calling in for milk, bread and meat, then I will not have to search every time.

Francis became the wife of a farmer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gingerâ&#x20AC;? Tanner on the former Briggs farm. Liz Tarnow married Harold Tarnow and moved to village. She was a secretary for the Waterbury Felt Company in Skaneateles Falls starting at $15 per week and Lillian married Clark Wright of the Falls. Clark was a sheriff and then they ran the former Cronauerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store in the Falls. Clark served on the town board with me during the 60s. They enjoyed their families and neighbors and especially the radio that they could sit around and listen to as a family in evenings when all work was done. On Saturday afternoons it was sometimes possible to go to movies in the village but for them this again would normally involve walking. The

The Willow Glen School closed in 1953. movies were a great deal as you could see a double feature and cartoons all for about fifteen cents and stay for a second showing.

President Obama would be disturbed to learn that Liz did not have any health insurance provided at her job at Waterburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; however, she said that it was a wonderful place to work. Waterburys never laid anyone off even during the great depression. These ladies never complained to me about what they went through during their lives but all thought that even with the luxuries we have now that today young people seem to have more problems. They did not have those â&#x20AC;&#x153;walk aboutâ&#x20AC;? things some have for communication today, but they did not have a drug problem either.

Former Marcellus Mayor (2006-10) Someone passing through the village of Marcellus today for the first time since the fall of 2006 would need to be blind to not be overwhelmed by the massive changes before their eyes.

As the last snow now finally melts away and the sunlight of the spring of 2011 shines down upon our beautiful village, the fruit of four years of infrastructure reconstruction and accompanying landscaping comes to bear.

While the project was ac-

tually completed late this past fall, the bare trees and early snows of the time detracted from the glory of what was achieved. With the coming of spring, however, the immensity of what has occurred comes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; figuratively and literally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; into full bloom. I thank everyone in the community for their four years of support and patience in the face of all the inconveniences that the 2006-2010 Marcellus village reconstruction projects inherently caused. With all that behind us now, we can take pride in what we have achieved.

Then: 2006 If someone stood at the intersection of Main and North Streets in 2006 and walked north, not only would they be walking on a street in need of repair and lined with damaged sidewalks, but as they looked to their left and right they would see other streets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reed Street, Maple Street, Orange Street, and Reed Parkway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in far worse shape and with even more damaged sidewalks (and in some areas, no sidewalks).

Moreover, these damaged streets were only covering See Spring, page 14

Students get top honors in photo show

By Lori Ruhlman

Skaneateles High School photographers earned top honors at the 26th Annual Storrs All-High Photo Show Sunday April 3 at the Kenan Center Gallery in Lockport.

More than 360 students, teachers and parents attended the show opening, which put the spotlight on Skaneateles by naming it “Best Overall School.”

Students from 37 high schools in western and central New York were represented.

Teacher Linda Torrey entered 12 pieces, one from each of 12 students. She said all of the 12 pieces helped the school win was considered “the highest award” and $100.

In addition, senior Patrick Rooney won Best of Show and a $100 cash award for “Waterwheel.” Senior Erin Herr earned a merit award for SHS for her photograph “Lost.”

The students whose work helped earn the Best Overall award are: Erica Nye, Peter Cihon, Julianna Augustine, Maddie Legg, Elise Pajak, Taylor Saulsbury, Adam Osiecki, Pat Rooney, Becky Flannigan, Erin Herr, Holly Ross and Allie Hagen.

The exhibit continues through April 22 at the Kenan Center House Gallery, 433 Locust Street in Lockport. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Class tours are welcome during school hours.

Earlier this year, fourteen Skaneateles High School students won a total of 34 awards in the Scholastic Art Awards program.

In what Torrey called the most winning year ever, Skaneateles High School students earned seven gold keys, seven silver keys, 18 honorable mentions and two very select honors.

The Lockport show is named in honor of Lockport artist William Storrs, who passed away in 2005. An accomplished artist and long-time contributor to visual arts programming at the Kenan Center, Storrs was instrumental in starting the All High

Photo Show which was designed to showcase the photographic work of high school students.

Children’s author visits State Street

School district directory Skaneateles Central Schools

By Lori Ruhlman

When Gail Carson Levine was the age of her fans at State Street Elementary School, she read lots and lots of books — but her dream was to become an artist. Although she loved to read and to write, she never thought of herself as a writer, and she never thought of writing as a real profession.

After all, she told students during her recent Author Day visit, most of the authors of her favorite childhood books were dead. (Mark Twain and Louisa May Alcott, for example.)

It wasn’t until she was much older and had gone through several careers that Levine wondered why she had never thought of writing a book.

Boys tennis sweeps MPH, Westhill

By Phil Blackwell Without dropping a single set, the Skaneateles boys tennis team got off to a rousing start in the OHSL Liberty division last Thursday afternoon and beat Manlius-Pebble Hill 5-0.

Of the three singles matches, Will Bolton had the toughest time, working his way to a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Ryley Almond.

Ethan Wilcox bolted past Jon Koss 6-0, 6-2, while Ryan Sayko handled Justin Oh 6-3, 6-1.

Meanwhile, in doubles the matches went the same. Will Bersani and Matt Kallas got past Tristan Almond and Tyler Greco 6-4, 6-2, while Sasha Darovshikh and Katik Sharma topped Alex French-Lawyer and Ben Parks by those exact totals.

Then the Lakers made it 2-0 on Friday afternoon, beating Westhill 5-0 in a contest where, three times, matches went to three sets. Every time, Skaneateles prevailed, starting with Bolton overcoming a rough start to beat Dan Chang 1-6, 6-1, 6-3. Bersani and Kallas topped Dan Haynes and Brian McMullen 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, while Darovshikh and Sharma had a 6-4, 2-6, 10-5 win over Nate Chapin and Jordan Frary.

Elsewhere, Wilcox handled Cole Kelly 6-4, 6-3 and Sayko got past Lee Detota 6-1, 6-3. Skaneateles would visit Hannibal on Monday before a key match Thursday against CBA.

Boys track opens with meets

By Phil Blackwell The Skaneateles boys track and field team got the jump on most of their peers by participating in the Homer April Fools Relays to open its 2011 season.

Out of seven teams in the field on April 2, the Lakers managed to take fifth place with 52 points. Lansing, from Section IV, won with 99 points, edging the host Trojans (95 points) for the top spot.

Only once did Skaneateles get a victory – in the pole vault, where three athletes combined for clearance of 28 feet, six inches better than Tully.

In all, the Lakers had top-six finishes in 10 of the 15 events.

It was third in the 4x100 relay (47.6 seconds) and fourth in the 4x800 (9:52.4), sprint medley relay (4:33.2) and long jump, with three combined leaps of 45 feet 7 inches. Skaneateles added a fifth (87 feet 2 ¾ inches) in the shot put.

Then the Lakers went to Saturday’s Cicero-North Syracuse Relays, where it got 8.16 points, most of them from Taylor Weyneth (11 feet 6 inches) and Carson Schwab (10 feet) tying Ithaca for second place in the pole vault, Rush-Henrietta (23 feet) finishing on top.

Tim Lewis stood out in the high jump, clearing 5 feet 10 inches to tie for third place among individuals, as he also helped Schwab, Weyneth and Max Weiss finish 10th in the 4x100 relay in 48.51 seconds. Sean Cooper was fifth in the 110-meter high hurdles in 16.10 seconds.

Lakers pull away from Phoenix

By Phil Blackwell Determined to climb back to the top of the OHSL Liberty division, the Skaneateles baseball team might find that task easier in 2011.

Part of it is that the Lakers bring back a solid core of players.

Another part of it is that Bishop Ludden, undefeated in the league a year ago, got moved up to the OHSL Freedom division, removing one large obstacle.

Still, the likes of two-time defending state Class B champion Westhill are around to conquer – but before Skaneateles could do that, it first had to face Phoenix in last Thursday’s season opener. And the Lakers handled it, beating the Firebirds 7-2 with some late offensive heroics.

Single runs in the second and third innings produced a 2-2 tie. Skaneateles did not take the lead for good until it got another run in the fifth, but it really put things away with a four-run rally in the seventh inning.

Pat Roberts had two hits, scored two runs and earned an RBI. Tom Jones and Conor Herr also drove in runs, with Brandon Barron scoring twice. Ryan Prochna pitched six solid innings to earn the win, surrendering just three hits while striking out seven as Roberts worked the final inning for the save.

Defense carries boys lacrosse past Cazenovia

By Phil Blackwell

pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com There was a fairly good reason why the Skaneateles boys lacrosse team mobbed sophomore goalie Ryan Higman after the final horn sounded in last Friday night’s 10-8 victory over visiting Cazenovia.

For in this highly-anticipated battle of Laker teams favored to duel for Section III Class C honors this spring, it was Higman’s sharp work in the net, combined with a sturdy back line, that allowed Skaneateles to

finish in front.

Going into 2011, the biggest question facing Skaneateles in its quest to repeat as sectional champions was how the defense would fare. With the likes of Kevin Rice, Paul O’Donnell, Mike Richards and Zach Brownlee working on the attack, there wouldn’t be a problem scoring goals.

That was evident in Wednesday night’s season opener, a 23-10 win over Christian Brothers Academy at Alibrandi Stadium where Rice and O’Donnell both scored six times and the Lakers used 10 goals in the second

quarter to take charge.

For the home opener, the challenge was much greater. Cazenovia had roared out to a 4-0 start and had scored 82 total goals in routs over CBA, Manlius-Pebble Hill, LaFayette and Jordan-Elbridge. Containing them appeared a tall order.

And early in the first half, the two Laker sides did take part in a fastpaced exchange. It was 3-3 when, early in the second quarter, Rice, Richards and O’Donnell hit on consecutive goals to push Skaneateles ahead 6-3, See Lacrosse, page 14

Lakers celebrate successful season The Skaneateles varsity basketball team held a banquet April 5 at the Springside Inn to celebrate the 2010-11 season. The Lakers won the Class B regular season title with a record of 17-1. They advanced to the sectional final game, losing only to Westhill, the reigning state and sectional Class B champions.

Q: When should I begin planting?

armers and gardeners often disagree about a lot of things, when to plant being the most basic. So called “gambling growers” will try to beat others to market by planting their crops as early as possible, taking the risk that the crops will be killed by a late frost or other natural disaster.

Seed packets often say “plant as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring.” But what does that really mean? Like the phrase, “your mileage may vary” - taken from the disclaimer of EPA mileage ratings by car makers - which has become itself a qualifier so that it translates roughly as “who knows what will really happen in your situation.”

One of the problems of the early spring garden

isn’t just the weather, it’s the soil. Usually gardens are just too wet to work in early spring. One test is the Barbano mud ball test: dig down about to six garden four inches and take a handful of soil. Squeeze the soil into a ball and try to crumble it between your fingers. If it won’t break apart, it is too wet. Once the soil ball crumbles easily, you are ready for planting.

Think cool weather crops and you get the idea. The list of frost hardy vegetables includes carrots, radishes, peas, snow peas, snap peas, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, Swiss chard, lettuce, cilantro, kale and beets.

Simply till your garden and plant any of the above vegetables. Even a brief

Protect your trees from the Emerald Ash Borer

For local ash trees, the arrival of a devastating pest in Western and parts of Central New York is very bad news. The TN.GOV Emerald Ash Borer The Emerald Ash Borer has been an unwelcome guest in the U.S. for several years. 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 five 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 See Pest, continued on next page

‘As soon as the soil can be worked…’ cold snap shouldn’t harm them, though most will be done in by a heavy snow or prolonged freezing.

For flowers, try: pansies, snapdragons, and dianthus, also called pinks.

You can also plant lily bulbs and bare root roses.

To further speed up warming your soil try using raised beds. Since they sit above ground level raised beds tend to drain better and warm up faster than the open ground.

You can also cover garden beds with sheets of black plastic for several weeks before you plant.

You can even use black plastic trash bags. Just See Planting, continued on next page

Was your home built before 1978? If it was, it may contain lead paint. When lead paint is disturbed during remodeling, dangerous lead dust is created. Young children and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from exposure to lead dust, but anyone can become lead poisoned.

remove the plastic before planting. Or, plant seeds or set out seedlings through holes cut into it.

Besides cold weather vegetables, many flowers do well in early spring. Pansies, snapdragons, pinks, roses and lilies can all be set out while the weather is still far from balmy. You can buy flats of pansies or grow your own by direct seeding into the garden.

Pansies (Viola × wittrockiana) are extremely cold hardy and can even withstand brief spring frosts and freezing spells even while in full bloom.

Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) have the advantage of coming in various sizes and forms from so called “low growing carpet snapdragons” to “spikes of rocket snaps,” whose colorful blooms often reach two or three feet tall. Snapdragons can endure cool temperatures and light frosts, and can be planted as early as a week or two before your last frost.

Dianthuses (Dianthus spp.), also called pinks, are perennial flowers that actually prefer cool growing temperatures. Pinks begin blooming when daytime temperatures get into the sixties. In spite of the name “pinks” they are available in red, white, pink, and even striped varieties.

Lilies (Lilium spp.) are hardy flowering bulbs that can be planted very early spring.

You may want to cover very early lily plantings with a light mulch to protect against hard freezes. Once lilies begin to sprout, gently rake back the mulch to allow the soil to heat up. Like all bulbs, lilies do best with good drainage, as too much soil moisture will cause the bulbs to rot. Bare root roses are another good choice for planting in early spring as soon as the ground is thawed enough to be dug. So take a chance and plant cold hardy vegetables and flowers, “as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring.”

So when is “as soon as the soil can be worked?” Old farmers often went by the obvious rule that as soon as the weeds start to grow in your garden, it’s time to plant your hardy vegetables and flowers. Your mileage may vary.

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-bycase basis. “In many ways, trees are like humans and pets. Each tree responds differently to stressors and the prescribed treatments,” stated 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.”

OME & GARDEN financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change when it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;convertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. 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.

bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.â&#x20AC;?

Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,â&#x20AC;? said Tammy Purcell, VPâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;lending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.â&#x20AC;? Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;traditionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,â&#x20AC;? said the president, 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our loans are often tailor-made to our customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;same sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We are very thankful when a customer 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,â&#x20AC;? added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with experienced loan underwriters who assist you in your mortgage loan application process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan.

The lending team is carrying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,â&#x20AC;? said Purcell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cookie cutterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.â&#x20AC;?

Off-color target added to trap house

By Wayne Lear On Saturday, April 2 at 0900, four riflemen met at our range to shoot our regular weekly high power match. The weather was clear, the temperature 33 degrees, with a light west wind.

We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match, consisting of thirty shots, ten slow fire prone, ten rapid-fire prone and ten slow-fire standing.

Dave Spearing won the match by hitting 993Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s+95-1X+89=283-4Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with his Swedish Mauser in 6.5X55mm. He would have won a gold medal at Camp Perry and we all congratulate him on both. Paul Straka used his â&#x20AC;&#x2122;03-A3 and hit 90+94+85-1X=2691X. He would have won a bronze medal at Perry and we congratulate him, too. I fired my â&#x20AC;&#x2122;03-A3 and hit 88+84+64=236. Chuck Chernoff fired his .44 Magnum revolver twenty-four times from the bench, and hit 180-1X. Stuart Cook, a hand gunner that shot the

last winter league with us, paid us a visit and wanted to try a .44 Magnum. He fired Chernoff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three times and hit 23. Then he tried Spearingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mauser three times slow fire prone, and hit 30, all bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. Then he tried my â&#x20AC;&#x2122;03-A3, which is a larger .30-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06 caliber, slow fire standing, and hit 13. We hope he joins us regularly, with his own gun.

Four of us went to the fine Willow Glen CafĂŠ for beverages after the match. We were joined there by Dick Perkins, who graciously paid the bill. We all thank Perk. We also thank Brittany and Stacey for keeping our cups filled.

On Monday night April 4, 22 trap shooters, including 2 ladies and 4 juniors, attended practice. The weather was threatening rain, the temperature was about 50, and the south wind, a strong one, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t subside until 1830. From 1700 until then, targets took evasive action and scores suffered. The beautiful Swedish sweetheart sister in trap house one threw our targets with no complaints.

Something new was added at this practice. An off color target (dark green instead of orange) was added to the stack of targets in the trap house for each squad of 5 shooters. If you happened to be the lucky shooter when the off color target came out of the house, and you broke the target, you won a free shoot. We had seven squads and five of the off color targets were broken. The winners were Jane Murphy, Mike Richardson, Dennis Billington, John Cusick and ME. We all thank Dick Perkins, Dave Barron, Wilma and Ron Roberts for the off color target and supervising the practice.

That was the beginning of something that would change her life, and would in turn reach out and touch young readers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including many at State Street School.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. She worked hard, took many writing classes and â&#x20AC;&#x153;collected rejection letters for nine years.â&#x20AC;?

Levineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first book for Children, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ella Enchanted,â&#x20AC;? won the Newbery Honor in 1998. She went on to write such books as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fairest,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dave at Nightâ&#x20AC;?

Levine spent the entire day with State Street School students: talking, dancing, answering questions, eating lunch and laughing. She told stories in a way that caused snorts and giggles from audience members from 9 to 59.

Her quick mind and spirit, along with her approachable manner, made a writing life seem to be a real possibility. She may have never met a living author of any of her favorite books, but State Street School students now certainly have.

In several sessions, the question and answer period would have gone on for hours if Library Media Specialist Deb Covell hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been forced to bring it to an end.

Skaneateles Music Guild gets set for spring luncheon It’s finally time to put on colorful clothes and enjoy friendships and warmer weather at the annual Skaneateles Music Guild Spring Luncheon.

The event will be held at 11 a.m. May 4 at the Skaneateles Country Club.

Many amazing items have been donated for the silent auction, the Middle School jazz band is all set to entertain and the latest men’s and women’s fashions from the following local shops will be modeled: Cate and Sally, The Country Ewe, Echo off the Lake, Rolands, Skaneateles 300 and the SCC Pro Shop.

All funds raised allow the guild to continue to support music education in our Skaneateles schools, so luncheon spon-

sors (Arlene VanRiper of Landscape Design, Creekside Books and Coffee and Carolyn Legg Interior Designs) are very much appreciated.

Checks payable to Skaneateles Music Guild, Inc. for $35.00 should be sent by April 26 to PO Box 279, Skaneateles, NY, 13152. Please include a phone number or email address; this event sells out quickly.

Skaneateles Music Guild board members Charmaine Krebs and Tracey Blackwell prepare to send invitations to the annual Spring Luncheon to be held May 4 at the Skaneateles Country Club. The invitation printing sponsor is James Gregg of Wells Fargo Advisors who allows the Guild to provide more funds to our students.

Spring a more insidious problem: a rusting and collapsing network of water and sewer pipes (with some water pipes over a century old).

Now: 2011 Today, someone can walk northward on a brand new North Street with brand new sidewalks and landscaping, and look left and right and see this pattern continued along the four aforementioned side streets. Although unseen to the naked eye, all of the repaired streets are also full-depth reconstructed in order to lessen future potholes and to increase longevity. Main

From page 5 Street and certain portions of South Street had been the only streets as of 2006 to have had received full-depth reconstruction; I was adamant that all streets re-done during my administration have full-depth reconstruction along the entire length of the street. In this climate, a full-depth reconstructed street that is well maintained should last 40 years or more with only surface repairs needed. Thus, all of these reconstructed streets should last until 2050 or more. Also unseen, each street, along with Highland Drive, now also has new (entirely new in many

cases) water and sewer piping. A person could even end their walk within sight of the village’s newly renovated wastewater treatment plant near the end of North Street. In fact, all of these repairs to the Marcellus village sewer system from 2006-2010 were the primary reason cited by the New York State Rural Water Association in naming the village of Marcellus sewer system as the “New York State Sewer System of the Year” for 2010.

A ‘whole new village’ Independent of the 2006-2010 village reconstruction projects, but

during the same timeframe, three other major construction/reconstruction projects occurred in the village: a new stateof-the-art library was constructed, the inspiring Upper Crown Condominiums rose like a phoenix from the ruins of the old Upper Crown Mill, and the Marcellus School District campus underwent its own impressive reconstruction project.

All of these projects dove-tailed wonderfully with the village reconstruction projects — after all, all three projects are bounded by streets the village renovated

(the school campus sits along the intersection of Reed Parkway and North Street, and the new library and the Upper Crown Condominiums are at the intersection of Maple Street and Orange Street). Although independent of the village’s actions, these other projects did influence the village reconstruction project to the extent that they only increased the need for the nearby village infrastructure to be of solid durability.

The immensity of all of these combined improvements in the village (especially when

Weather some way to get up, as I have never spent a night in the driveway at home because I couldn’t find something to help me get elevated. However, it is a good feeling to know that friends and neighbors are there when you need a hand. I had spent the last two or three weeks congratulating myself that I had gotten through the whole long snowy winter without a crash in my backyard a time or two. What a disappointment it is to have crashed on a bare sidewalk on a dry day.

From page 4 We continued our circuit by walking to West Lake Street and then out to the end of the pier.

The pier was rather chilly and windy.

Mr. Lemon met at least 20 dogs out for the air. The sizes ranged from fluff balls to giant Great Danes. The white male is bigger than any Great Dane I have ever seen. Lemon really enjoys meeting other friends and is all tail-wagging and minor sniffing.

Finally, we circled back to Doug’s where the hot dogs were very tasty.

We spotted two Loons near Loveless Creek when we returned home as dusk closed and we could hear their distinctive cries. There is also a pair of Buffleheads in the neighborhood. On Thursday April 7, I saw 12 to 15 Buffleheads in West Lake Street Cove.

The snow pile in the yard is still with us, but much reduced in volume.

It is sort of like a glacier, bringing all of its mess and tree parts etc. to the sea. The underflow is going into the drainage system as designed, with

no problems and no big backup like an ice jam in a northern stream.

We spent 17 winters and springs in the Waitsfield Valley in Vermont and the going out of the ice was always something everybody worried about. Two or three times I recall that the ice buildups caused the river to form a big lake over the low-lying pastures and hay land alongside the creek. When the water subsided, there were assorted large chunks of ice standing all around. It was really

odd to see these chunks as you drove north along Route 100 headed toward Waterbury. The locals who live there and whose families had worked these lands were always nervous until “Ice Out.” Having your farm fences and buildings inundated by the backed-up moving chunks of ice that weigh up to several tons is like being in a ship and having a collision with ocean ice. Fortunately, it is usually benign and just an interesting natural late-winter occurrence.

Recently, our lake

Lacrosse only to see Cazenovia pull within one, 6-5, when Brad Nardella and Mason Powell converted.

It stayed that way deep into the third period. Skaneateles, in fact, would go more than 16 minutes without a goal and fall behind, 7-6, before O’Donnell hit on his fourth goal to pull his team even again.

Yet even as Richards’s third goal put his team ahead 8-7, Skaneateles found itself spending long periods of time in its own

further combined with the village’s earlier reconstruction of Main Street and South Street during the Eisenberg administration) fully occurred to me and my wife and me as we attended our 20th Marcellus High School Class Reunion in late 2010.

At the reunion, so many returning classmates — including those who had not visited the village in so little as even just a few short years — commented again and again at their pleasant shock at seeing what seemed to them as nothing short of a “whole new village.”

has not frozen often and ice from the lake has not caused significant damage. When the lake freezes 100% to the depths of 6” to 10” the ice can cause lots of property damage when the wind and water pile it up on docks, boat houses and lakeside cottages.

Almost every winter we read about ice pileups on Beach Road in Brewerton and Sylvan Beach at the north and east ends of Oneida Lake. Sometimes these piles are 10’ to 20’ high and generally smush anything in their way.

From page 8 end, protecting against the potent Cazenovia attack. Somehow, defenders Trevor Diamond, Brady Hueber and Mike Card kept making key stops, at times even blocking shots with their bodies.

Rice, always one to step up his game in a tight situation, fired home his second and third goals early in the fourth quarter, the latter a response to Powell’s second tally that made it 9-8.

Neither side would score again. Cazenovia had

all kinds of chances to inch closer in the last nine minutes, but again the defense stepped up - and Higman was clutch, too, making four consecutive saves in one sequence to give him 14 for the night.

The Lakers’ season commenced last Wednesday night, at Alibrandi Stadium, when it fell behind CBA early, but atoned with a tremendous secondquarter outburst.

Opening-night jitters may have crept into the

Lakers’ minds during the first period as CBA, fired up to face Skaneateles, sneaked out in front 4-3 – but that would be the last good moment for the home side.

For once the second period started, the Lakers could do little wrong on the offensive side. In those 12 minutes, Skaneateles amassed 10 goals, most of them by Rice or O’Donnell.

And it didn’t stop there, as the Lakers also out-

scored CBA 10-3 in the second half, not stopping until Rice had amassed 10 overall points through six goals and four assists.

O’Donnell also found the net six times, one of the best totals of his varsity career.

Behind them, Brownlee managed four goals and one assist, while Richards got two goals and three assists and Brenden Major also scored twice. Farrell, Jeff Higman and Connor O’Hara put up one goal

apiece. Ryan Higman, taking over in goal for Winkleman, finished with 13 saves – but would get better a couple of nights later.

Skaneateles now stares at three straight road games next week, trips to Jordan-Elbridge and Westhill and, most importantly, a visit next Thursday night to Marcellus, the first of two meetings with the rival Mustangs (who have started 4-0 under first-year head coach Leo McInerney) in as many weeks.

Here is his wife Sandy Nichols with their latest addition to the pack. Female puppy, Mila, joins Popi, a 6-year-old Border Collie, who is still in the lip lifting stage at the new pup nipping at her heels. Nicholâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head nurse Melanie continues to bring her three Border Collies to work as well. Each day after lunch the Doc throws the ball outback for the black and white pack. Mila is off and running with the big dogs!

The oldest of four children, Edwards graduated from Cayuga Community College in Auburn, Colgate University in Hamilton and the University of Iowa, where she received an MFA in Fiction and an MA in Linguistics. In 1994, Edwards received the Cayuga Community College Alumni Award, which is presented annually to alumni who have made an outstanding contribution in vocational or artistic achievement, volunteer service, public or civic services, or assistance to the College.

She initially enrolled at Cayuga as an accounting major but switched to English after one semesterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a decision she said brought her â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous joy.â&#x20AC;? In a 2006 interview for the Cayuga Alumni Association newsletter, Edwards described how Cayuga helped set her on the path toward her writing career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since writing is so solitary, one thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always very important to writers at any level, but especially beginning writers, is to have sense of community. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I discovered at CCC. I took a creative writing class and met a lot of other people who were interested in the same sorts of things I lovedâ&#x20AC;Ś I remember going to see the poet Etheridge Knight who read at CCC, and traveling to several different creative writing conferences at other SUNY schools with groups from CCC. Those connections â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that discovery of the larger world of writing, the wonderful ongoing dialogue of writing, were very important to me.â&#x20AC;?

Edwards is also the author of The Secrets of a Fire King, which was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, and her stories have been published in The Paris Review, Story, Ploughshares, Zoetrope, and many other periodicals. She has received many awards for the short story, including a Pushcart Prize, the National Magazine Award, the Nelson Algren Award, and inclusion in The Best American Short Stories of 1993. Two of her stories were performed at Symphony Space and broadcast on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Selected Shorts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She received a Whiting Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Award, as well as grants from the Pennsylvania and Kentucky Arts Councils, the Kentucky Foundation for Women, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

She has taught in the MFA programs at Warren Wilson and Washington University, and is currently an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky. She is currently on an 18-month tour, promoting The Lakes of Dreams, which was published in January.

Her talk is made possible in part by the Noreen and Michael J. Falcone Fund, which has brought to Cayuga Community College outstanding individuals to speak to the campus and surrounding communities since its founding in 1994.
