Town moves closer to e-waste disposalBy Ellen Leahy

E-waste constitutes household electronics such as cellphones, com-puters, monitors, speakers, etc. that residents would like to dispose of locally at the town transfer station.

Town Supervisor Terri Roney said she is still waiting to hear back

from the state Department of En-vironmental Conservation, as the town is looking to provide e-waste disposal as a service to residents. The hauler the town is considering would contract with the supplier rather than the town. Still, according to New York State law, the town would have to open up its site to non-residents.

Town Councilor Rick Keyes said he could see non-residents also dumping refuse at the same time as their e-waste.

“It would be like opening up Pandora’s Box,” Town councilor Nancy Murray added.

Roney said she did speak to a department head at OCCRA, who

implied that if the town hosted re-cycling once a month, it would not have to be listed on the state’s recy-cling sites as a general hauler, and therefore would not have to accept non-residents waste.

Roney said she would continue to try and connect with the DEC and report back on her findings.

Skaneateles Bell Choir raffling off quilt to travel to national conferenceBy Ellen Leahy

Behind a curtain in the sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church one will find two sets of Schulmerich brass handbells in big black cases lined with red velvet (http://www.schulmerich-bells.com/about_our_history.php). The church received one set as a memorial gift from Archie Livingston and Howard Rumbaugh; and the second set was given in honor of Charles and Margaret Evans. These beloved donations initiated a handbell choir 28 years ago that is still ringing strong with a more recent expansion that added a couple of smaller ensembles.

Currently there are 21 members including conductor Sue Grady. The choir’s ultimate goal, whether playing as 11 (Chancel Bells), eight (Fel-lowship bells), four (EmBellishment) or two ring-ers (D’Belles), is to ring as one.

“It’s a music ministry,” Grady said, used to reach people in the congregation, a beautiful form of communication.

“It’s also breathing,” handbell choir member Priscilla Worral said, “breath together, ring to-gether.”

Grady was the youth choir director at the First Pres when the bell choir began.

“I knew nothing about handbells,” she said, “a friend said ‘you should learn because this is a hoot.’ I bought a book, and six to eight people came and we started to ring.”

Choir members Peg Bennett and Sandy Nichols were there and said that looks like fun, we want to be part of it.

“I can’t imagine my life without playing bells right now,” Nichols said. “I don’t ever want to stop.”

Attending a regular Tuesday night practice four members of the choir, plus director Sue Grady, explained the power of bells echoing Nichols’ sentiment.

Skaneateles gives water foreman proper sendoffBy Ned Campbell

[email protected] Bruce Famoly

decided to retire from the Skaneateles Water Depart-ment, he didn’t have to look far. Famoly was employed by the town for 36 years.

“I sat down to put these boots on one morning … and I just said “Naw, I can’t do it anymore,” Famoly said.

It wasn’t because of any personalities or the job itself — it was just time for a change.

“I started playing golf two years ago and I real-ized that things change,” he said. “I’m kind of an old fashioned guy and I don’t necessarily keep up with the changes. It’s just the right time.” Joe Dwyer, who has worked for the

water department for about 10 years, will take over for Famoly.

Famoly was foreman of the water department since 1995, and before that worked for water depart-ment and the landfill. He was even dog warden for a short period of time.

“I wore several hats in 36 years, primarily water,” he said.

The town of Skaneateles hosted a retirement lun-cheon for Famoly Friday March 18 at town town hall. Famoly couldn’t help but reflect on all that went into working at the water department.

“We fixed a lot of water main breaks in 36 years, I know that,” he said. “Hun-dreds.”

He said his goal was al-ways to improve the whole water system, and he suc-ceeded at it.

“It’s due in large part

because the town board voted to do that, but I prodded them and showed them where we needed the improvements,” he said. “And together, I think, that’s our main accomplishment — improving the town’s water system.”

Most of the significant improvements were to the systems in Mottville and Skaneateles Falls. “That’s all relatively new, within the last 20 years,” he said.

As a lifelong resident of the town, making sure the residents received proper

drinking water was not a task he ever took lightly. For him, it was always personal.

“I grew up in Mottville, so a lot of those people I’ve

Fuel saving tips for Spring

As the warmer weather arrives, many will have the urge to visit local parks, plan trips and get away for long weekends. However, with the price of gasoline rising, it would be wise for vehicle owners to consider the following tips to maximize the efficiency of vehicles before hitting the road.Drive sensibly

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid accelera-tion and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by five percent around town. Sensible driv-ing is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.Observe the speed limit

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 miles per hour. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each five mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas. Remove excess weight

Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your miles per gallon by up to two percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight rela-tive to the vehicle and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.Avoid excessive idling

Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.Use cruise control

Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.Use overdrive gears

When you use overdrive gearing, your car’s engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.

These tips were taken from fueleconomy.gov.

Grateful for the city’s hand in protecting lakeTo the editor:

For many years I have heard people say that the City of Syracuse is getting free water from Skaneateles Lake. I respond with, I am really glad that the City of Syracuse is watching over our beautiful lake and that I drink the water that comes through the Syra-cuse Gate House next to the Sherwood Inn, then through the village of Skaneateles water system and finally through the town of Skaneateles water lines to my home where my family and I can enjoy using and drinking water that is safe to drink without having to be filtered.

In the late 1950s I worked for two years for the Village of Skaneateles Electric & Water Departments, and since then I have had a very sincere interest in the protection of the Watershed to Skaneateles Lake. In 1996 I was elected town supervisor with a responsibil-ity to insure that our customers continued to receive good quality water into their homes and businesses. As town supervisor I began to receive a wealth of information, much of it related to filtration and other methods of trying to provide water to users that had to be processed in some manner. before it was fit for consumption.

I had not been in office long before I received an invitation from the program chairman of the Ska-neateles Lake Watershed Agricultural Program invit-ing me to attend their annual meeting. I was quick to accept the invitation because my interest in protecting the Skaneateles Lake Watershed dates back to one of my first part time jobs working for Paul Zechman emptying Privy Pails and carrying them down to the dock at Five Mile Point for the City of Syracuse Potty Boat to pick up. As a matter of fact I still have one of the original galvanized pails (only slightly used), which I keep as a souvenir. A lot of improvements have been made around the lake, thanks to the City of Syracuse.

Before becoming supervisor I was a member of the town planning board and often acted as vice chair-man in the absence of Chairman Herb Edwards. In this position I became well aware of the need for a joint village-town comprehensive plan with sup-porting zoning laws. As farming practices changed, more and more land on the lake watershed became available for development. Farmers that remained in business needed guidance and financial assistance to improve their practices. We have been fortunate to have received grants from several different sources. Former Congressman Jim Walsh managed quite well in directing several milions of dollars in our direc-tion, which, annually funded a variety of erosion and pollution controls on our watershed farms. I do not know where all of the funding originated from; how-ever, I am quite sure that besides federal, there have been state, county and City of Syracuse funds directed toward the protection of this very valuable resource. I do know that I am pleased to have seen the effort that has gone into protecting our Skaneateles Lake water supply over the last several years.

Since 1996 I have annually traveled to LaFayette to the offices of the Onondaga County Soil and Wa-ter Conservation District to board a bus with other interested individuals for a tour of some of the most recent projects that they have helped to install. Their projects vary from stream bank stabilization, strip cropping, keeping storm water runoff out of barn yards, controlling sileage leachate, and pathogen management, to name a few. Each trip has been to a different area and may even be on a watershed to a different body of water than Skaneateles.

Skaneateles Lake watershed lies within the borders of five towns, Scott, Spafford, Sempronius, Niles, and Skaneateles; three counties, Cortland, Cayuga and Onondaga; and one village. For years all efforts to bring representatives of these municipal territories together to discuss watershed issues failed. With help from Cornell Cooperative Extension providing the food served by the Scott Methodist Church, I sent out invitations inviting elected or appointed officials to a Skaneateles Lake Watershed program. These have become a biannual event, and are now held at the Presbyterian Church in Skaneateles.

I feel more comfortable knowing that this effort is going into trying to protect the quality of water that is entering our distribution lines. I am, however, very concerned about the monster that can be lurking in our future called hydrofracking. Is it safe or not? Who can we trust to know what they are saying?

BILL PAVLUS

Bob Feldmann – a great neighborJust a note to say that Bob Feldmann was a great

next door neighbor. We will truly miss his presence next door.

Doug really enjoyed his nice long chats with Bob on his lake view veranda.

Bob would yell out, “Hi Clara,” on my trips to my mailbox. I thought that was so nice of him!

It’s the little things in life that count.Bye bye Bob.

Callahan thanks voters for supportThank you, thank you to all of the Skaneateles

residents who recently supported me throughout the mayoral race.

Each candidate conveys their own leadership style during a campaign, whether it be through their literature, signs, answers to media questionnaires or by their example when dealing with the public. My spirit of initiative was most evident to those observ-ing the simplicity and consistency of my engaging each person who generously spoke of their issues and concerns.

Democracy is a gift that our forefathers formulated for us. When implemented, people execute this right as a citizen to choose his or her next leader ... and Skaneateles residents did that.Thank you for allow-ing me to give you a choice. Thank you for participat-ing with me, sharing your time, your thoughts, your questions. Thank you for standing with me whether it was at informational forums, reading the articles in the newspapers, or giving me of your precious time as we would review my literature.

You see... I really did win! I met new residents, reacquainted with many, which really raised this level of engaging the political process, allowing me to ac-complish a goal... giving you a choice, a choice to elect a public servant to represent your interests. Truly, I wish the best to the new elected officials.

PATTI CALLAHAN

Thank you Skaneateles for a successful electionTo the editor:

I would like to thank the community for making our recent village election such a success. The voter turnout was very high. There was a great deal of enthusiasm and spirited debate. I congratulate Mary Sennett and Marc Angelillo on their successful campaigns for the Village Board of Trustees. They are both well quali-fied individuals who will represent us in a professional manner. I would like to congratulate Marty Hubbard on his successful bid to serve as mayor again. Marty brings a wealth of experience and knowledge with him. I believe our village government is in good hands. I also commend Patty Callahan for having the courage to run for mayor. Uncontested elections are never good for the community.

I am very proud of my campaign and what I have achieved. I took a firm stand on the issues and didn’t waiver. I walked every street in the village and tried to meet and listen to as many village residents as I possibly could. I am humbled by all of the people that supported me and embraced my candidacy. The ground swell of emotion that I felt from the community has warmed my heart. For a first time candidate to draw 300 votes is a pretty good showing! I thank you all for taking the time to listen to me. You have all witnessed my work ethic and my heartfelt love for this commu-nity. I may have worn out a pair of shoes, but I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. I thank you all.

WOYSAWestern Onondaga Youth Soccer Association

My name is Roger Garcia and I am the president of WOYSA. I am making an appeal to the WOYSA community at large for volunteers to step up and take on the responsibility of running the day-to-day operations of WOYSA. I have announced my retirement to the Board of Directors. In addition I must also announce that the following positions will also be vacant very soon, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar, Web Site Coordinator, Field and Resource Coordinator, Micro Soccer Division Director, U10 and U12 Boys Division Directors. This is very serious and without mincing words, if members from the WOYSA community do not step up to fill this void, we will be forced to make decisions that may include dissolving the league. That of course is a last resortbut be clear; the league cannot effectively run without more help fromthe community.

Most of the volunteers stepping down have been volunteeringfor 10 years or more with several over 15 years of communityservice. It is time for others to step-up. As the second mostsenior member I will agree to remain on the board as anadvisor for a period of two years to help guide and trainany new members who volunteer.

With the current economic times it seems modifiedsports programs may suffer. WOYSA is the perfectvehicle to fill that void. However this will createthe need for a U14 boys and girls Division Directors.This is something we want to do, but it requires twoadditional committed volunteers.

This has been a very rewarding experience and allwho serve will tell you the same. If anyone wishes toenquire please e-mail me at: [email protected]

Sincerely,

Roger Garcia

Hurry springOur narrow, tree-

lined camp road is still slumbering under its winter blanket, waiting for a string of warm days to melt the still pristine snow. The cottage at its end, hard by the lake, also waits, home, per-haps to small critters who sought shelter against the season’s precipitation and frigid temperatures. The lake, never alone, speaks only in its almost spring-time voice, accented by calls of returning wildlife.

The winter has been long, cold and dispiriting, sometimes so much so that even thoughts of sum-

Along the Lakeshore

Saturday through Tuesday evening produced a long-running waterfowl display. First, there were bands of Redheads, Scaup, Ring Necks, Goldeneyes and Buffleheads in various groupings passing by Bentley Cove. (Fire Lane 16 through Greenfield Lane).

The first big-time flock of Snow Geese appeared Sat-urday March 11 in the middle of the lake, right in front of the house. There had to be at least a thousand geese zipping around. They would all land for a few minutes, then whoosh off, circle two or three times, and land close to where they had started. By the end of the day Saturday, they had relocated to the north end of the lake.

Saturday evening, a noisy bunch of Canada Geese showed up. They spent all night talking and pulled out an hour after first light.

The same routine existed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday, the only ducks left were a mixed bag that had collected behind the breakwater of the club’s slip sys-tem. They were seeking refuge from wind and waves dur-ing the south winds. I saw Buffleheads, Redheads and oth-ers that I could not identify due to the light and distance.

Mr. Lemon’s evening trips are getting longer and life must be more interesting inside his one-acre playground. I have been told that cats have no limit as to how much they can sleep and I think Mr. Lemon has some cat habits. He always seems to be able to catch a few winks. Humans mostly get slept out and can’t snooze anymore until some time has passed. Of course, we all know certain individuals that might be exceptions to this observation.

Last week I gave you a list of the ports-of-call on our vacation trip in the Mediterranean. Our first stop at Monte Carlo began with a boat ride to the dock on the ship’s tender. Anchored near the dock were two monster yachts, one over 125 feet long. One belonged to the doctor for the Saudi ruling family, and the other was owned by an Onassis cousin.

We traveled by bus, somehow managing the full size tour bus around turns that are fit only for Italian sports cars. We also crossed over into Nice, France. We had a good guide who explained what buildings are what. Later we stopped, and after a hearty walk to the top of the hill, visited a small old village. Until the 20th century, the resi-dent women walked down and up to carry water. I found a nice table and had a small dish of what we would call frozen custard. On the way back, we were shown the road and curve where Princess Grace (Kelly) was killed.

There was an individual on the bus who took pic-tures of almost everything and videos of the rest. I started wondering if he was making a photo essay for some extremist group to stage an event such as the one in India. That attack was scoped out by a tourist from Chicago who provided videos for the training. I tried to talk to our photographer from time to time, but he was not the chatty type.

This was all I needed of Monte Carlo. To really appreci-ate the buildings, you would need to stay there for 2 or 3 days and I was happy to get back on the ship. I usually enjoyed the tender trips, as they were on smallish boats, which also serve as lifeboats. Their capacity is 80, but I think we usually had about 50 to 60 on board. You would really be snuggled up if you had to put 80 souls on the boats in an emergency.

To purchase extra supplies (mats, rollers, etc.) to help in the interior painting project

at the day care facility. Teens will be recruited to con-duct project. - $ 1,000 grant United Way Young Leaders Club project, E. John Gavras Center, sponsoring agency.

known since childhood,” he said. “They’re my friends and neighbors, and it’s been a pleasure to be able to take care of them and make sure they have good drinking water.”

Famoly worked under seven different su-pervisors. Skaneateles town clerk Janet Aaron compiled a “partial list” of employees Famoly worked with during his run.

“On July 2, 1972 Bruce Famoly began his employment with the town of Skaneateles working at the Landfill for $3.25 per hour,” she wrote. “Little did he know that he would outlast so many people employed by the town.” (See list at right)

One of those people was Charlie Major, who was town supervisor for 14 years starting in 1977. He said Famoly’s service to the town could be summed up in two words — reliability and dedication.

“The whole key is dedication and always be-ing on the job,” he said. “Water mains break at all times of the night and day, and it’s not fun in the winter being down in a hole if the water breaks in the middle of the night.”

Famoly asked the town board to promise him to “please just make sure that our water custom-ers keep getting the same level of service that they’ve always gotten.”

“Because you get attached to something after that many years,” he said. “And they promised me they would, and I believe them.

“For some reason I think I own that water system, because I’ve taken care of it so long. And I want the customers to get good service, and they will. They will.”

“The more you know, the more you want to know,” said Deb Covell, who is a newer member of the choir.

It’s music, math, fellowship, craft, meditation, performance, concentration, handwork, joy and teamwork all rolled into one very spiritual exercise.

“Playing bells frees me to live my faith,” Nichols said.

Grady said over the years they have developed a bench, “so we can pull in people who love to ring.”

Ringer Priscilla Worral started as a sub and is now a standing member of the choir. She had played bells as a teen-ager, actually performing with her high school bell choir at the1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows.

All the players agreed that there is a cooperative bond that grows ever stron-ger that they haven’t experienced in other group activities. Worral said this was even true of the experience in high school, bringing the students together much like a Championship Sports Team, similar to the Skaneateles Lakers Boys soccer team this past fall.

“It’s respect for one another and admi-ration for the others,” said Covell, while also relieving tension and stress.

The actual bellsHand bells originated in England.

These were tooled in order for church tower bell ringers to practice without the whole town having to experience it. Note, when church bells ring, one never sees the ringer. With handbells there is a certain amount of stage fright one must endure.

Skaneateles’ First Pres handbells were manufactured in Pennsylva-nia. The White Chapel Handbells manufactured in England are more brilliant and brassy Grady said.

For a performance, the hand-bells are arranged on a cushioned table, as keys on a piano, with flats

and sharps lined up in separate rows.“The first commandment of bell ring-

ing is don’t cross your arms, or you can get pretty pretzel like,” Grady said.

Instead there is a lot of weaving as players keep their arms open.

“Cross lateral movement is good brain exercise,” Grady said, “counting, reading, ringing all at once.”

Fundraising to get to the National Conference

Every time the bell choir has the op-portunity to attend the yearly national conference, it returns renewed and in-spired. This year’s conference will focus on small ensembles.

“Our ensemble ringers will be reunited with the instructors and performers who were instrumental in getting us started in small ensemble ringing.” from the First Pres Press (church’s newsletter).

“Every time we go something has changed with the philosophy or the technique,” Sue said of these educational conferences. “It doesn’t matter who you are, after the conference there is growth in all the players.”

Seven members would like to take the trip this year from July 27 to 31 to the Glen Eyrie Conference Center, a castle at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado Springs. They have started sev-eral initiatives to raise travel funds. First they are raffling off a “Kaleidoscope”

quilt, which was pieced together by Peg Bennett and quilted by Julia Graziano of Manlius.

Brenda Davidson said each of the quilt’s kaleidoscopes are like the choir members, “It all came from one fabric but each one is different, pieced together to make something beautiful.” She added that in the case of the bell choir, Grady is the thread that strengthens and holds them together.

Raffle tickets are available with a suggested donation of $2 each or six for $10. The drawing for the quilt will take place April 30 at the choir’s Spring Ring potluck fellowship dinner. The evening begins at 5 p.m. with dinner, then a “Bell Petting Zoo” and an opportunity to try out the bells.

Since there is only one quilt, the choir has also created packaged notecards cap-turing each of the quilt’s eight designs. These are available in the church’s office and also from choir members.

They are also working with the Hill-Top Redemption Center (next-door to the Hill Top Restaurant) where you can donate your bottles and cans and a por-tion of this will be donated to the choir’s efforts.

For more information, contact the church office at 685-5048 or skaneate-lespresbyterian.org.

‘Sisterhood’ remembers one of their own

First Presbyterian Church congregant Jean Graham was a founding member of the bell choir. She played the same bells in the same spot until last week when she was stricken ill, and suddenly passed away. When Jean didn’t show up for rehearsal the shocked choir did not fill her position, instead they drank in the silence where she normally would have chimed in.

“We are like sisters,” Sue Grady said, “a sisterhood.”

Besides the school, the li-brary, the Skaneateles Festival, the local chapter of the Ameri-can Association of University Women, the Ecumenical Food Pantry, the early childhood center, Baltimore Woods and so many other organizations in Central New York, First Pres Bell Choir is one more place where Jean’s pure grace rang true.

“We have times where we are like one,” Sandy Nichols said.

Her passing is such a loss for the community, as well as her loving family.

The bell choir performed at Jean’s packed to the rafters memorial at the First Presbyte-rian Church on Saturday March 19, along with violinist Hilary Hahn.

See obituary on page 10.

Jean S. GrahamRetired Skaneateles teacher

Marguerite C. Sterling, 58Longtime educator

Jean S. Graham, of Ska-neateles, died unexpectedly at Auburn Memorial Hospital Saturday evening, March 12, 2011, with her husband at her side. She was a resident of Skaneateles for over 40 years. Jean was born May 11, 1938, in Barranquilla, Colombia, daughter of John and Dorothy Schaffner. Her family moved to Darien, CT, in 1952. She graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1960 and received a master’s degree from SUNY Cort-land as well. Jean taught elementary education in Fairf ield, CT, U.S. Navy schools in Japan, Summit, NJ and finally for 22 years in Skaneateles, retiring in 1998. She loved the chal-lenge of teaching and work-ing with young children. She was a member of The Junior League of Syracuse, serving as Environmental Group Chairperson and Treasurer prior to resuming her career as a teacher. She was also a member and past President of AAUW. She was an active elder in the First Presbyterian Church serving on the Mission Committee, a volunteer at the Ecumenical Food Pantry and Meals on Wheels. She was a charter member of the church’s Bell Choir. Jean played a key role in the Skaneateles Early Childhood Center, serving as President throughout the relocation and new building process. She continued to read to the children every Thursday morning. She

took the lead as Board President with Balti-more Woods Nature Center’s successful building expansion. She a lso ser ved as Plant and Herb Sale chair for many years and as a weekly office volunteer. In 2005, the Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce honored her as Co-Citizen of the Year for her dedicated service to the community and the compassion she demonstrated to all. Jean was proud of her member-ship in The Portfolio Club, a 136-year old Central New York group and was serving as current President. She researched and introduced the most interesting and challenging topic “Wonders of the World” for papers and discussion. Since retirement, Jean worked part time at the Skaneateles Library and en-joyed expanding her reading knowledge and sharing favor-ite books and authors with others. She and her family found time to travel over the past 15 years-Alaska, Europe and especially Central Amer-ica where she could use her Spanish as interpreter. Jean’s love of music was a perfect fit for serving as a long-time board member of The Ska-neateles Festival. She served as Musician Housing Chair for many years. Certainly one of the highlights was sponsoring, hosting and befriending world renowned musicians. She was also a board member of the

Skaneateles Education Foun-dation, which was a natural choice in view of her love for teaching and education. She enjoyed playing “Skanopoly” with her grandchildren.

Survivors: her husband David of 48 years, daughter Virginia (Scott) Livingston of Brookfield, WI, daugh-ter Wendy of Hoboken, NJ, grandson Parker Livingston, granddaughter Eliza Livings-ton, sister Sue Sherwood of New Canaan, CT, brother Don (Pat) of Atlanta, GA, and sev-eral nieces and nephews.

Memorial Service: 1 p.m. Saturday March 19 at at the First Presbyterian Church of Skaneateles, followed by a reception in Dobson Hall, 97 E. Genesee Street, Skaneateles, NY 13152. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Skaneateles Library Asso-ciation, 49 E. Genesee Street, Skaneateles, NY 13152 or The Skaneateles Education Foun-dation, Attention Sharon Ma-gee, P.O. Box 16, Skaneateles, NY 13152.

Arrangements by Robert D. Gray Funeral Home, Ska-neateles.

Marguerite (Midge) Sterling, 58, passed away peacefully on Feb. 26, 2011, at the Evergreen Hospice Center in Kirkland surrounded by her family. She was born on June 29, 1952, in Omaha, NE, the daughter of Lloyd and Yvonne Mattson. Midge, her sister, Connie and brother, John, were raised in Omaha.

Midge attended the University of Kansas majoring in elementary education and where she developed into a life-long, die-hard, Jayhawks basketball fan. Her passion for teaching, acquired at an early age, led her to a career over 20 years in teaching elementary and gifted and talented education. Most recently she served as a long-term substitute teacher in the Edmonds School District.

Midge met her husband, Kirk Sterling, while living in Denver, Colo. They married in Denver on July 21, 1990. Their lives together took them to Portland, OR, Cincinnati, OH, Naperville, IL, and Mill Creek, WA. Midge had a unique ability to orga-nize, which was exemplified by her ability to sell a house, pack and move at the drop of a hat. Midge and Kirk were blessed with a daughter, Simone (19), and a son, Clark (16).

Midge had a deep love for her children, family and friends and was always interested in others. She was very involved in her children’s lives, volunteering as a “team Mom”, attending concerts, and enthusiasti-cally cheering at sporting events. Midge enjoyed hiking and camping in the mountains, family vacations to Hawaii and Florida, traveling, mu-sicals, vintage movies, photography (film only) and sunny days. She had a sense of adventure, having climbed several “Fourteeners” in Colorado

and loved to visit National Parks. Perhaps her legacy, besides her

children, will be how Midge faced the adversities in life head-on. Over the course of 16 years she battled cancer: Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (twice, including a stem cell transplant) and breast cancer (twice). Her love of family, singular strength and her determination to live life to its fullest are an inspiration to all.

Midge will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She is sur-vived by her step-mother, Helen Mattson, sister and brother, and her husband and children, Midge loved the Lord and we know that she is healed, free and with her maker in heaven! A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. Sunday March 13 at North Creek Presbyterian Church in Mill Creek.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be given to the University of Ne-braska Foundation in her memory where they will help fund clinical research in hematological malig-nancies at: University of Nebraska Foundation, 2285 South 67th Street, Suite 200,Omaha, NE, 68106 or nu-foundation.org/leukemialympho-maresearch.

The songs can go onJon Bon Jovi commit-

ted the most egregious sin imaginable.

It wasn’t the mere fact that he exists (as some will snark), or that his music, praised and panned in equal volume, proved rather successful in the not-so-distant past.

Worse, far worse, JBJ had the nerve, the sheer gall, to take a shot at Ap-ple’s Steve Jobs, the Man Who Can Do No Wrong. In a recent interview with the Times Magazine, Bon Jovi lamented the total shift to iTunes and digital downloads and said “Steve Jobs is personally respon-sible for killing the music business.”

Of course Jon has received endless grief for this statement, slammed as another out-of-touch old man who just doesn’t get it. And those are the kind words.

Yet read the whole quote, and JBJ does make a valid point about how young people, in this gen-

eration, are missing out on the whole experience of going to a record store since all they need to do is

click and download what they want.

True, music is more portable, and we have

more choices, and we can pick out just the songs we want and discard the filler. But is that truly better? Or

is it just isolating us, and our tastes, from

Skaneateles Rod and Gun Club News

Three riflemen met at our range at 0900, Satur-

day March 12, 2011, to compete in our regular

weekly high power match. The temperature was 32

degrees, the sky overcast, with a light southwest wind. We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match.

Paul Straka won the match with his ’03-A3 by hitting 82+86+79=247 and we all congratulate him. I fired my ’03-A3 and hit 87+78+81=246. Jon Knickerbocker shot his 7.62X39mm Yugo SKS and hit 73+57+52=182. We all went to the fine Willow Glen Café for beverages after the match. Brittany poured and Knickerbocker paid. We all thank them both.

On Sunday March 13, 58 trap shooters, including four ladies, one lady sub-junior, five male juniors and six male sub-juniors, competed in the shoot-off of the winter league.

This was a 50 target shoot-off.

The temperature was 33 degrees, the sky was over-cast and it was windy, making the targets do their little dance.

There were 3 shooters in A class — Mike Clancy hit 46. Mike Richardson hit 43.

There were 14 shooters in B class — Bill Main hit 49 and was high score in the shoot-off. Bob Hollo-way hit 46.

There were 15 shooters in C class — Chris Bacon, Roger Elliott, Tom Main and Dean Slater all hit 42. There were 10 shooters in D class — Chris Czenig hit 42. Rob Radcliffe hit 38

Audrey Clark led the ladies with 31 hits. Leslie Slater hit 30, Allison Rad-cliffe hit 26 and Nikki Hai hit 23.

Emma Greenfield was the sub-junior lady, and she hit 18.

The male juniors were led by Justin Slater with 45 hits. Morgan Ward hit 30. The male sub-juniors were led by Trevor Parker with 41 hits.

TJ Greenfield hit 33 and Dan Tierney hit 33. Congratulations to you all.

On Tuesday night, March 15, seven hand gunners fired in the 24th week of the 25-week win-ter league. No one fired center fire.

Chuck Chernoff won the match with a rim fire score of 277-9X’s. Dick Bailer was second with 258-2X’s and Paul Straka was third with 221. Mike Curtis was high in two handed rim fire with 261-2X’s, Stuart Cook was second with 204 and I was last with 119. Congratula-tions to the winners.

The first shoot of this year’s CNY Trap League for us is a home shoot April 19. There will be trap practice on Mondays, starting April 4 at 1700.

Shoot safely.

Syracuse Crunch on a rollKyle Palmieri scores six goals in three games

By Russ Tarby

After being booed off the ice at the War Memorial on Wednesday, March 16 follow-ing a dismal 6-1 loss to the Albany Devils, the Syracuse Crunch bounced back for three impressive wins in a row.

On Friday, 21-year-old goalie Timo Pielmeier recorded his first pro shutout, making 30 saves to secure a hard-fought 1-0 win against the Toronto Marlies.

Rookie right wing Kyle Palmieri tallied the lone goal for the Crunch that night. With about eight minutes left to play, he crashed the net and banged home a re-bound past an outstretched Ben Scrivens, who stopped 23 of 24 shots for the visitors. Forward Maxime Macenauer and defense-man Mat Clark assisted on the play.

Several Crunch player had publicly apologized for lack of effort in the mid-

Crunch rookie right wing Kyle Palmieri – a 19-year-old native of Smithtown, Long Island – scored his second hat trick of the season Saturday night at the Onondaga County War Memorial as Syracuse defeated the Toronto Marlies, 6-2.

week game against Albany, but Palmieri put it all in per-spective after Friday’s shutout.

“Obviously, we had a tough game Wednesday night,” Palmieri said, “but we just have to put it in the past and come out here and do our best to get two points. We have a lot of games at home this last part of the season, and we want to have our fans behind us and keep going and hope-fully keep winning.”

The 19-year-old Long Island-bred winger certainly did his part to keep the team winning. On Saturday night, Palmieri scored a hat trick prompting a blizzard of fans’ hats to hit the ice after his third goal of the game. Patrick Maroon, Matt Belesky and Josh Green also lit the lamp for the Crunch as Coach Mark Holick’s skaters coasted to a 6-2 win over the visiting Charlotte Checkers.

Palmieri, who was Syracuse’s lone American Hockey League all-star this season, scored twice the following

night in Pennsylvania, pacing the Crunch to a 5-2 victory over last year’s Calder Cup Champion Hershey Bears. Also scoring for Syracuse Sunday were Matt Kennedy, Nick Bonino and John Mitchell, while netminder J.P. Levas-suer nailed down the win by turning away 30 of 32 shots by the Bears.

Over the last three games, the white-hot Palmieri has notched six goals and an assist and now leads the club with 20 goals in 58 contests this season.

The Crunch has eleven games left in its 2010-11 season, six of which will be played at home.

The team busses to Binghamton Wednesday, March 23, before returning to the War Memorial at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, to face off against the Albany Devils and the Rochester Amerks, respectively. Ticket prices range between $13 and $22; 473-4444; syracusecrunch.com.

others whose tastes might be differ-ent?

All these are valid questions. Where JBJ was off was in his target of who, or what, brought the music industry down.

Mainly, in my view, record companies and/or their business partners have consistently misread, or even underestimated, the public’s ability to determine what is good and what is not. They also think publicity and headlines should out-weigh talent.

Worse yet, in the heyday of the CD they kept records at $15 to $20, regardless of quality. Thus, even if you took the leap of faith and bought it, you had to pray that the whole thing was good, not just two songs out of 10.

This happened, too often, and people moved away once digital op-tions, especially iTunes, opened up. Now they mostly don’t bother with whole albums, for good reason. A majority of artists simply aren’t good enough to have their work sustain itself for a whole record.

Add to that another modern hor-ror – Auto-Tune. There’s no defense for this. Whether in pop or country or any other genre, far too many performers resort to this pitch cor-rection so that they can “perform”

better. Yeah, maybe so, but there goes your authenticity. It’s lazy, too, to let some machine save you if you can’t sing on your own.

Yet as the good and bad parts of technology grab our attention for the right and wrong reasons, there’s still reason to hope that true, authentic music can win out.

Note Arcade Fire getting the Grammy for Album of the Year. Note how the ultra-cool Decem-berists from Oregon snared a top-seller with The King Is Dead, recorded in a barn with real instru-ments and real voices – with really good songs from start to finish.

For me, though, the most striking example of how the public still has good taste, when allowed to express it, is in the rise of a young woman from Britain named Adele.

A couple of years ago, Adele’s de-but, simply called 19, helped propel her to the Best New Artist Grammy, and deservedly so. With a resonant and soulful voice, she could skip from ballad to dance track without losing any of her power. What’s more, she never oversings just to show off. It’s a lesson divas twice her age never learn.

Adele’s self-penned songs in the debut were, at times, uneven, but a few stay in the bloodstream long

after you listened to them. Just try to listen to “Chasing Pavements” or “Hometown Glory” and not be moved. Oh yeah, and not one note Auto-Tuned.

Good as that was, Adele’s fol-low-up, the just-released 21, is even better. More versatility is shown, and the songs, all about (or inspired by) a relationship that had just ended, shows a young woman who writes as well as she belts.

Even the cover tracks shine. The first time around, Adele made Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” her own, a nearly impossible trick. On 21, she does the same with the Cure’s “Lovesong”, turning a some-what morbid late-80s standard into a cool, wistful bossa nova number with awesome guitar backing.

Lo and behold, 21 topped the album charts here in the States and in many other countries. The sad part is that some take shots at Adele because, well, she carries a few more pounds. What, you want her to be anorexic and/or strung out?

So to Mr. Bon Jovi, the music in-dustry is not dead and no one, Jobs or otherwise, is going to euthanize it. Not as long as Adele and her friends are around to keep things interesting – and as long as fans recognize that talent and reward it.

Drug testing would help people access careGuest column

I recently signed onto legislation that, if passed, would require those apply-ing for public assistance to undergo a drug test. This is a small request to make of any applicant seeking pub-lic assistance. If the applicant tests positive for drug use, this would help him or her receive access to drug treat-ment so they can focus on recovery, as well as providing for themselves and their families—even possibly to the point where they may not need public assistance.

The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Sub-stance Abuse Services estimates that one in seven state residents (2.5 million) suffer from a substance use disor-der (SUD) or problem gambling. The agency estimates that 11 percent, or 1.8 million, state residents age 12 and older (including 160,000 adolescents ages 12-17) experi-ence a SUD (substance dependence or abuse) annually. Our laws and public benefits should be designed to help people and put them on the path to recovery. If people on public benefits are using drugs, we are enabling an illegal drug habit paid for with the help of public ben-efits—the very public benefits that were designed to help people feed themselves and their families when times are tough and help close the gaps that the economic down-turn has created. Studies show that when the economy is struggling, families and providers struggle too. Crime is up, drug use is up and poverty increases. Those who have lived with drug addiction and those who treat

people in rehab have seen firsthand how drugs can tear families apart.

Currently, if someone processing a benefits applica-tion suspects an applicant is using drugs, the applicant is recommended for drug testing. However, this method-ology is flawed, with too much room for interpretation. If a user is aware of any kind of red flags a screener is looking for, much can be done to hide or disguise these warning signs.

There would be some minimal costs associated with drug testing, which would ultimately save taxpayers’ money in the long run. Funds which are spent on drug screening, drug treatments and prevention, would theo-retically save money spent on welfare and crime.

Recovery stories and assistance

I invite you to read recovery stories from New York State residents. Two years ago, Gov. Paterson began an effort with the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services to log first-hand accounts of people who underwent a successful recovery—from drugs, alcohol or gambling. The site is called iamrecov-ery.com. There are hundreds of stories on this site that detail what life is like living with addictions. Many have found help and have recovered. They are from all differ-ent walks of life. One writer, Rachel, a young mom who lives in New York State, shared the following:

“Addiction started for me at a very early age. I can

remember as far back as fifth grade — the first time I had even heard about drugs — and telling myself I wanted to try them all. My childhood was near perfect, no troubles at home, no abuse of any kind, but I never felt comfortable in my own skin and didn’t like who I was… What I want the peo-ple who haven’t yet found recovery to know, is no matter how much pain you are in right now, there is an end other than death. You can choose today to stop the pain and start a new life in recovery. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, and neither does recovery. No matter who you are, where you live, no matter what your addiction is or how long

you’ve been using, there is always a way out.There are many more stories like this. To read,

mer moments were impossible. Will it ever be warm again? Will we ever be able to find solace in the feel of sun on our backs as we dig our hands in the soil, luxuriating in the smell of the born again earth? Can we conjure planting and caring for our gar-dens, of eating from the table of local bounty? Can we recall what a tomato from the garden smells like, tastes like? It did seem a stretch with more than 15 inches of snow falling in less than a day.

But, as ever, spring is com-ing, if only in small pieces, geese flying north, a day of sunlight here, warmer temperatures there and water in the basement from a mountain of melting snow. Lawns and garden beds will reap-pear with the detritus of winter

demanding attention. A new kind of “to do” list will appear and the dirt tracked in will change to grass clippings and garden soil.

I am beginning to dream of the summer to come, my family, my children and grandchildren sharing the joy of togetherness in our rustic retreat. Friends gathering for no particular rea-son save perhaps a casual meal, a libation and time spent in the quiet summer evenings. “Drop by anytime,” I invite them to share. As I dream, I am try-ing to remember the sounds of summer, the soft splash of water against the shoreline, the screams and laughter of children, ice in glasses, the whirr of the fans in summer bedrooms, spring peep-ers, crickets, cicadas in the trees

and birds calling to their young to fly with them. No TV, no cen-tral air or any air conditioning for that matter.

We are people who go to the lake because it is simpler, because the spaces are simple, the furni-ture is old, even shabby but still useful. We go because we can forgo the trappings of a digital world, despite the omnipresence of cell phone, iPads and such. When a soft breeze calls us to play scrabble on the dock or a mirror clear lake invites a kayak ride, or when friends appear to spend time, and at our ages, time is a valuable commodity, we feel blessed. Hurry is a forbidden word, a taboo idea… except now when I want the sun to hurry its job on those narrow camp roads.

projects.The SAGE Garden Club and the Spafford Area

Historical Society has collaborated successfully this past year.

SAGE sponsored a garden tour in July 2010, featur-ing the gardens of six members and Susanne Hopkins, who is a member of both groups, solicited donations from vendors such as seed and plant suppliers, as well as gardening magazines, etc. for donations toward a raffle.

The tickets were sold on the tour and the proceeds benefited the historical society.

SAGE was able to make a $500 donation to the res-toration fund for Borodino Hall.

The donation came from the proceeds of the garden tour.

SAGE also conducted a workshop in December where members created beautiful holiday centerpieces that adorned the tables at the annual holiday potluck for the community organized by the Historical Soci-ety.

Borodino Hall was beautifully decorated and pro-vided a festive backdrop for the gathering and the centerpieces were offered to members and guests for a donation.

This year SAGE is planning a garden at the Sidehill Schoolhouse. We are in the planning phase right now

and will be installing plants in April and May. Heritage plants common in country gardens will be featured as well as herbs.

Club members will be donating plants from their gardens and writing up descriptive notes on the his-toric features and uses of the plants to be compiled in a notebook to be made available to the public visiting the schoolhouse.

The one-room schoolhouse is located at the corner of Stanton and Willowdale roads, and represents the restoration efforts of the historical society.

It is visited by area school children in May and June to provide them with a trip back in time to the days when children walked or rode in a wagon to school.

Spafford has four of its schoolhouses still standing and the historical society is planning to conduct a tour of these and some area gardens on Saturday June 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The cost of the tour will be $10 advanced sale and $15 at he door. For more information, call Mary Bean at 391-8477.

In a rural community such as Spafford, where resi-dents can be separated from neighbors by miles, some-times a sense of community can be hard to maintain.
