Got Game!

Volume 181, No. 5 Feb. 2 to 8, 2011

I have decided that I would like to give the village residents an opportunity to have a choice when selecting their next mayor. Having the freedom of democracy is a gift from past leaders who conferred and formulated the American political process. One of the benefits of democracy is that if we are given a choice to select a candidate during an election we can cast our vote in support of the candidate of our choice. As a 30-year resident and a mother, I have raised two sons who have now given me the pleasure of five grandchildren. Successfully, I am a real estate broker for 20- plus years.

Rotary’s Winterfest

Event warms community Boys hoops handle South Jefferson, Cazenovia despite the cold weather By Phil Blackwell

Inside and outside the OHSL Liberty division where it sits on top, the Skaneateles boys basketball team did not find too much resistance in advance of a big showdown Wednesday against defending state Class B champion Westhill. Up against South Jefferson last Tuesday night in a non-league encounter, the Lakers used big scoring spurts to put away the Spartans in a 70-43 decision. Skaneateles set a fast pace in the first

quarter, jumping to a 24-11 lead, and continued to shut down South Jefferson on the defensive side as the lead grew to 41-19 by halftime. Pat Roberts finished with 17 points. Jimmy Atkinson’s recent surge continued as he put up 13 points, including three 3pointers, while Paul O’Donnell earned 11 points. Kevin Rice had nine points, with Justin Sisson (eight points) and Brandon Barron (six points) close behind. See Boys b-ball, page 12

By Miranda L. Pennock Thousands of community members converged in the business district Jan. 29 in the village of Skaneateles to celebrate winter and all it has to offer, from comfort foods and sled dog rides to a quick dip in the lake. Throughout the last seven years, Skaneateles Winterfest has turned the last

Saturday in January from a quiet day in the village into a full-blown community event. While the day included a 5K fun run, Polar Bear Swim and the Taste of Skaneateles — which made its debut two years ago and was the centerpiece of Winterfest last year — it gave merchants an opportunity SeeWinterfest, page 9
