Boys bball get sweet revenge on Grimes in double-OT classic, then take down Mustangs

By Phil Blackwell

Whatever else happens to the Skaneateles boys basketball team in what is shaping up as a potentially memorable 2010-11 sea-son, nothing might top the events that unfolded on a frigid Friday night in East Syracuse.

Trailing by 17 points at halftime to Bishop Grimes, the Lakers made it all the way back in the third quar-ter, then battled through a fourth quarter and two tense overtimes before fi-nally emerging with a 95-91

victory over the Cobras to improve its overall record to 8-1 as it hit the midway point of the regular sea-son.

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s property tax cap proposal could mean trouble for many school districts.

In the coming weeks, the governor plans to enter into legislation a cap that would apply to all school districts, as well as local govern-ments. Designed to protect property owners from skyrocketing property taxes, the cap prevents an increase in any district’s tax levy (amount raised through property taxes) above 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. However, with a 60 percent majority, residents have the ability to override the cap

during budget elections.While this is good news to property own-

ers, district administrators find the solution shortsighted.

“This is extremely limiting,” said Ska-neateles School District Superintendent Phillip D’Angelo. “It’s going to start to have a negative effect. We’re trying to not impact educational programs.”

He said the fact that the district is first deal-ing with state aid being cut, then Skaneateles’ portion of sales tax revenue from the county being reduced and now capping the property tax, it’s to fast for what the district is trying to accomplish.

“A cap is a rather blunt instrument to

control costs,” said James Rodems, assistant superintendent for management services with the Baldwinsville Central School District. “It is an easy political fix to rising taxes. What it doesn’t consider is the fact that some of these cost increases, especially pensions and health insurance, are outside of our control.”

State mandatesOther factors driving up costs are mandates

imposed onto school districts by the state.“The new commissioner of education said

he was going to try and lessen the mandates, which would give school districts more au-tonomy, but mandates have only gone up,” D’Angelo said.

Guest commentary

Town Board reviewing disposal of garbage

By Terri Roney

Let me start by being perfectly clear – the Town Board IS NOT, I repeat IS NOT closing the Transfer Station. That being said, I feel compelled to write an informational article and dispel any rumors that have arisen or may arise

As you may or may not be aware, last fall dur-ing our budget process the Town Board solicited bids for services relating to hauling garbage from the Transfer Station. We received four responses to those bids. This past week we met with representa-tives to discuss the practi-calities of how they would serve us should we, in fact, move in this direction. No decisions have been made.

Democracy rules in SpaffordBy Ellen Leahy

Brad Haines was an agen-da item at the Thursday Jan. 13 Spafford Town Board meeting. As is typical of a Spafford January board meet-ing, the snow was blowing outside the town hall; mean-while, most town officials and upwards of 20 residents were inside engaged in the democratic process.

Very politely Haines stood up and read the following statement:

My name is Bradley Haines. I have lived here, in the town of Spafford, my entire life and so have many generations of my family before me. I hope that future generations of my fam-ily will be able to live here and will want to live here.

This is still a rural town. The Intent of the new zoning code states: “to protect, pre-serve and enhance the scenic qualities and rural character of the Town of Spafford.”

Rural character is a tractor in the yard (red or green).

Rural character is a parts vehicle next to a capable person’s garage

Rural character is firewood stacked on the porch or some chickens on the lawn.

Rural character is a neigh-bor lending a hand, expecting nothing in return.

Let’s not forget our rural characters. We are a socially diverse town if not in race, in peculiarities and economic status. We have plenty of characters to keep things from getting boring.

In working on this project, I had the fortune to visit with many people in the town. I was invited in for soup, for lunch and to sit and visit with folks. We have a great community here with many wonderful people with a lot to offer: from engineers to mechanics to farmers to scientists to volun-teer fire-people.

However, there is a small group of concerned residents who are continually after the town to make one of its unique individuals, Frank Marche-terre, clean up his properties

and most recently, try to force him to demolish a house. They claim he should do so for safety reasons. I believe their mis-sion is primarily if not solely, aesthetic.

The 2501 Nunnery Road property (Marcheterre’s) has been deemed safe and brought into compliance with the town zoning code. Yet, this group continues to harass, insult and even threaten town officials and make prejudicial remarks. We feel that a different perspec-tive needs to be represented:

As residents of the town of Spafford, we the undersigned wish it to be known publicly that the Marcheterre proper-ties do not affect our standard or quality of life in any way. We are proud citizens of this town who feel that our tax money should no longer be spent on this matter. We are in no way being “held hostage,” by what a small amount of current residents deem lower class.

We are not saying that we agree or disagree with how Frank does things, or keeps his properties. We are simply saying that our quality of life is not affected by it. We are saying there must be a better place for our money than paying law-yers to fight these battles.

The purpose of this docu-ment is to put on record, the thoughts of a large cross-sec-tion of the people in the Town of Spafford; to give the town board proof that most resi-dents here are proud of where we live and not ashamed of our neighbors, including the immediate neighbors of 2501 Nunnery Rd.

As the meeting continued

Haines then passed out copies of a petition with 132 signatures he (with the help of other resident volunteers) had gathered from Spafford residents.

Town Supervisor Webb Stevens said, “Brad, what are you asking us to do here?”

“This is just a message that we want out voices heard,” Haines said.

“We just passed new zon-ing laws a year ago, (that) a lot

of people participated in.” Ste-vens said. “It’s not a draconian code. If we are going to have the zoning laws they have to be used.”

“I’m not asking you not to enforce the codes,” Haines said, adding for the record that the property has been brought into compliance, but that there still is a small group of people that are still going after him (Marcheterre).

There was some discus-sion as to a paint job that might be a bit vindictive on Marcheterre’s part. Stevens concern was that basically Marcheterre has to maintain his properties according to the new zoning regulations, which includes straightening out his property on Route 41, up by the four corners in Borodino.

“You need certain stan-dards you need to lead by,”

Steven said. “You have your tractor (in the yard), I can live with that; but when it turns into a littered junkyard, you have to clean it up.”

“There are two sides to ev-ery issue, I respect what Brad did, he wants to participates in the community, but you expect your property value to be kept up,” resident Frank Moran said. “What if every-body does this?”

Moran was implying, what if everyone disregarded the new zoning laws and didn’t keep up their property. Moran also noted that he was in the fire department with Marcheterre for 25 years and that he was a good fireman.

Webb thanked Brad for participation in the process.

Haines in turn thanked Stevens and the board for listening to him.

Armstrong has best and hottest‘Best Meatballs in the Falls Contest’ benefits Skaneateles Fire Department

By Dwayne Houghton

A hungry win-ter crowd gath-ered on Jan.16 at the Red Rooster Pub, in Skaneateles Falls, to sample and judge meatballs at the First Annual Meatball Cook-off. Local kitchen chefs fired up their crockpots and radiant ovens, putting secret recipes to the test to find out who makes the best ‘Balls in the Falls.’ Tom Benedict, owner of the Pub, was pleased with the turnout considering the offbeat nature of the contest.

“Chili cook-offs happen all the time. This was a nice change,” Benedict said.

More than $500 was raised from the nine entrants and almost two dozen hungry samplers who paid a small fee, which was directly donated to the Skaneateles Volunteer Fire Department.

“These events are great for getting people together and having a good time,” said Jim Buff, 48 year veteran of the fire department.

Everyone who sampled the simmering orbs judged who had the best, hottest and the biggest meatballs.

When the votes were added up, Thomas Armstrong, a chef from Skaneateles already known throughout CNY for his hot sauce, “Tom’s Bootleg BBQ Sauce,” was the maker of not only the Best, but the Hottest meatballs. Bob Wayne, also of Skaneateles, provided the Biggest meatballs.

“This was a great turnout for a good cause,” Benedict said, who is already planning more charitable events to benefit the community at large.

Revise mandates before considering imposing cap School districts need to do more with less, like every

other taxing entity in the state.Area school districts have struggled to hold the

line on spending while offering the same or compa-rable services to students within their district. Last year, districts took a blow losing millions in state aid, as well as a decrease in sales tax revenue from Onon-daga County. This year, administrators are facing a proposed tax cap from the governor, limiting any tax levy (amount raised in property taxes) increase to no more than 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less.

While this is good news to property owners – we don’t have to worry about being taxed out of our homes – it could mean trouble for programs our school districts offer to students. Rising pensions and health insurance costs coupled with unfunded and underfunded state mandates, none of which leave any wiggle room in expenditures, leave student program-ming on the chopping block.

While school districts have and should continue to do more with less, as everyone else in the state has, it’s unfair to significantly limit options, specifically ones that do not enhance the education of our young-est residents. Before approving this drastic measure, lawmakers need to seriously consider revising and possibly eliminating some outdated mandates passed from the state to local school districts and municipali-ties before enacting a tax cap.

Mr. Lemon has cabin fever, already1/11/11 - I have been looking for-

ward to this date for some time. All the ones lined up is kind of neat.

Mr. Lemon hasn’t seen any sun since Christmas, except for one day of thaw and he seems genuinely depressed. His vigor for suppertime remains strong, but he doesn’t wag his tail much for Sue or me and his countenance is kind of melancholy.

His expeditions in the evening have been very short and very close to the house. I think he is finding it very boring outside. I have not seen any fresh tracks in the new snow that has filtered down and I think the two fox families in the neighbor-hood have done in all the rabbits and other varmints that used to leave trails in the new-fallen snow.

One rabbit that lived to the south of us would check out the bird feeder droppings every night and dawn, offering a scent trail for Mr. Lemon to check out. However, there is no way that a well-fed Beagle would ever be motivated to catch a full adult rabbit.

One year a rabbit made a nest under the golf cart and it actually gave birth to a bunny. Unfortunately, it did not last long once the birth occurred and the dog realized there was a small, helpless bunny under the golf cart.

Mr. Lemon stopped in to visit his friends at the Ford garage. Mike has

discovered that if you scratch and tickle his rear down under he will get a nervous reaction in his legs and get all shook up. I don’t think Mr. Lemon likes this very much, but the production does get him moving.

He gets quite enthusiastic about new faces and smells. Sometimes I think he is still looking for his original people. Perhaps a bit of sun for a day or two will invigorate Mr. Lemon as well as the rest of us.

The guns have been booming around the west side

A few ducks have probably splashed down, but I have been told that the goose population is taking a good hit.

I’ve heard that some folks have also shot a few Buffleheads. I don’t think neat little ducks like that are suitable fare for the table, as they are so tiny. They’re also very perky and it’s fun to watch their diving antics. They certainly never leave the water to roost on my dock or paint it with large droppings like the Mallards do.

Mallards are big enough to make a good meal and they feed on green stuff, not fish.

Mallards have a lot of fun from time to time. You can see them on the creek at the Kelly Street Bridge as they vie for handouts and storm the shore for breadcrumbs. They also seem to like to sprint upstream and then cruise down with the current looking very content with them-selves.

A substantial flock of ducks ar-rived in Bentley Cove on the north wind with the snowfall on Tuesday evening. The total was around 60-70. The numbers decreased during the day, but many were still here at sun down. Needless to say, visibility and light were greatly reduced and iden-tification was hindered. The primary divers were Redheads. I also spotted 2 Buffleheads, 2 Canvasbacks, and some Common Mergansers.

I’m looking forward to getting out my skis when a bit of sun comes along. Gray, cold days and weekend crowds discourage me. There is suffi-cient base to make skiing interesting to an old schusser like me.

We are still gathering informa-tion to see if there might be a better, more efficient, more economical way for us to dispose of garbage. Should we decide to implement any chang-es, they should be virtually trans-

parent to the general public using the Trans-fer Station.

This Town Board feels strongly that one of our re-sponsibilities as elected officials is to periodi-cally examine how business

is conducted. If you have not had the opportunity to review the 2011 adopted budget, a copy can be found on the Town’s website at townofska-neateles.com. On page 8 of 35 under the heading “Home and Community Services,” there is a subheading “Re-fuse and Garbage.” This section sum-marizes the total projected operating costs for the Transfer Station. For 2011 the projected cost is $474,150.

You might ask why we are meet-ing with the companies since we had

specifications in the bid packages.The bid specifications and the

hauler responses were based upon the approximate amount of ton-nage that is handled at the Transfer Station on an annual basis and the number of trips per week that Trans-fer Station employees haul material. What was not part of the bid speci-fications was the manner in which a company would serve us. When we requested bids, we were not focused on how a company would haul our trash as much as whether they could handle the volume generated, frequency of trips to and from our facility and ultimate cost.

In fact, how they would haul our garbage matters because we have existing buildings that may or may not be able to accommodate their equipment. If we want to consider changing how we do business, we need to have all of the facts before us prior to making a decision. If we have to retrofit buildings or expand them in order to accommodate a private hauler, those costs need to be determined and considered in the decision making process.

Once we complete this process of gathering and evaluating informa-

tion, the Town Board will have to make a decision. Do we continue business as usual or implement some changes in the best interest of taxpayers and the community? If we conclude that there is a more economical way to haul trash for our residents, it should be virtually transparent to the end user.

There is no proposal to reduce the hours or number of days the Trans-fer Station will be open. We would still need some Town employees to load trash and recyclable items into hauler containers. Cost savings would be seen in the elimination of expensive vehicles and their mainte-nance and reduction in the number of employee hours spent actually hauling material to various locations in Central New York.

Most importantly, I want the public to understand that the Town Board IS NOT closing the Transfer Station. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact any Town Board member by stop-ping by town hall at 24 Jordan Street or call 685-3473.

I attended the late morn-ing “Meeting of the Minds” up at the HillTop on Thurs-day after President Obama spoke the night before at the memorial service in Tucson for the victims of the Jared Lee Loughner’s rampage, which included an assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford.

For this “Meeting of the Minds,” Gentlemen gather from the four corners of Skaneateles for coffee and/or breakfast, and to discuss topics of the day. On any given day four to 10 guys can show up. First of all, there is always politi-cal discourse with former Skaneateles high school principal and World War II vet John Geiss sometimes being the lone voice from the left. He said some might not like what he has to say, but they always listen.

Harold Bronson, the un-official mayor of Mottville, said, “Obama is doing a halfway decent job.”

Dick Marchand said he’s not a fan of President Obama but that he made a point to tune into his speech.

“He gave a good a speech, (he) got away from the po-litical,” Marchand said, “He did a good job and I hate to admit it.”

Marchand added that he felt Obama would do a bet-ter job if he had some better people working with him.

Jake Sheahan said, “It was a real tragedy, shame someone didn’t identify the

problem with Loughner.”He said we’ve all run

into people that could be of interest to the law. And then he recounted a couple of close calls with the mentally unstable from his own life experience that were bone chilling.

Spafford’s Ed Lukens, a former gym teacher and coach from Westhill, said as a coach you get close to kids and you find out their dads are knocking them around, so you stay close to the kid.

“Keep an eye on him,” Lukens said.

“It’s not guns,” Sheahan said. “It’s analyzing the personalities. What can you do to identify the problem kids? You didn’t have to be a psychiatrist to understand that his kid (Loughner) was odd.”

Geiss said, “We have laws to protect the indi-vidual, which actually are detrimental to society.”

Ultimately all the gentle-men agreed that it is impor-tant to come to the table and to hear what the other side has to say.

Sheahan said he often harkens back to a quote a friend of his named Butch-ello had on his restaurant wall over in Olean, NY. The restaurant was called the Castle.

“Do as attorneys do, strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.”

Tax capsGovernor Andrew Cuo-

mo is in favor of a tax cap, so where do the guys weigh in on this subject?

Geiss said, it’s odd that people will say in the same breath, keep government out of our lives, keep their hands off our Medicaid and our social security. Where do they think Medicaid and social security come from?

Sheahan said, “What the hell good are tax caps, they ought to freeze tax-es.”

Shadow Johnson joined the table, and agreed, “Tax caps gives them the right to raise it. Freeze it.”

“You have to look at both ends,” Geiss said. “You can’t just cut off taxes (which is income), you need to look at expenses.”

“People are double dip-ping,” Sheahan said. “Look at Sheriff Walsh, if people had known that he wouldn’t have been re-elected.”

Sheahan was comment-ing on public employees taking retirement and then continuing to work, so that they are collecting their pension and a paycheck at the same time.

“You have to change the rules,” Johnson agreed. “Double dipping shouldn’t be allowed.”

Geiss said, because they look at your last three years to calculate your pension, people pile on the overtime during these years.”

It’s not the people who are corrupt, it’s the system. But either way, “people are really disappointed in the corruption,” Sheahan said.

“Some of these things seem to be common sense,” Johnson added.

Skaneateles soccer honored with ‘Believe to Achieve’

For example, there is a new graduation require-ments proposal that in-cludes each student re-ceiving four years of math and four years of science. D’Angelo said it’s a great idea, but it’s hard to accom-plish without hiring more teachers.

“District expenses such as facilities’ maintenance and union contracts are increased by state man-dates. For examples, the Tribourough Agreement requires expired union con-tracts to remain whether or not a new agreement has been negotiated, and the Wicks Law forces districts to have multiple construc-tion contracts. It has been estimated [Wicks Law] increases a building project by 10 to 20 percent,” Ro-dems said.

Other mandates include paying prevailing wages to outside contractors and pollution control compli-ance for buses, which adds $10,000 to the cost of every new bus.

The mandate issue has not gone unrecognized at the state level. In fact, Gov. Cuomo recently formed a Mandate Relief Redesign Team charged with review-ing existing unfunded and underfunded mandates imposed by New York.

“The enormous burden of unfunded and under-funded mandates is break-ing the backs of taxpayers, counties and municipali-ties across the state,” Gov. Cuomo said.

New York State Senator

David Valesky agrees man-date relief is needed.

“[The tax cap] has to be accompanied by real man-date relief because many of our local governments and school districts simply cannot continue operating under the status quo,” he said during a Jan. 11 state of the area forum in Caze-novia. “The revenue is just simply not going to be there for the State of New York, and we have to do things differently at all levels of government.”

While the cap will im-prove the quality of life for residents, the long-term

effect may lead to inferior educational programs un-less mandates and other state level issues are ad-dressed and rectified.

“If our schools suffer, will people still want to live here?” D’Angelo said.

State aid to schools and the bottom line

He also noted Ska-neateles’ state aid percent-age, whereas Skaneateles budget is $29,000,000 over-all, 5 percent is federal aid, 20 percent is state aid, another 5 percent comes from other, then the re-maining 70 percent comes

from Skaneateles taxpayers. Other districts get more like 60 percent in state aid.

“Unless state aid is re-or-ganized to enhance equity, I think the net effect of a cap will be to reduce opportuni-ties for students,” Rodems said. “Seventy-five percent of our costs are employee related. Over time, as dis-tricts are forced to meet the demands of a cap, the public vote and reduced state aid, educational programs will be affected.”

D’Angelo said to consid-er that overall we are deal-ing with three variables: In-equities in funding, politics

and a terrible economy.“We need to work to

ensure that we have a good educational product for our students and community - that we graduate young men and women ready for the world. We cannot forget that we are in the ‘kid busi-ness.’ Losing our student focus in all of this would be a tragedy,” Rodems said.

In the wake of winning its first-ever state Class B championship, the Skaneateles boys soccer team has received a fair amount of accolades.

Another one arrived last Tuesday, when the Lakers were given the “Believe to Achieve” award from the Syracuse Sports Corporation for the Fall 2010 season under the “Male Sports Team” category in a cer-emony at LeMoyne College.

Several different teams and individuals were honored, including the Cazenovia field hockey team that won its first-ever state Class C championship and Bill Aris, coach of the five-time national champion Fayetteville-Manlius girls cross country Hornets.

Skaneateles, coached by Kirk Atwa-

ter, Aaron Moss, Jon Dower and Pete O’Connor, had a perfect 22-0 record, beat-ing three Class AA opponents in the regular season. Then it beat Clinton for the Section III Class B championship and claimed the state title at Middletown High School, beat-ing Goshen Burke Catholic 1-0 in the Nov. 21 championship game.

The roster: A.J. Richichi, Eric Edmunds, Bryan Stokes-Cawley, Jared Amory, Kevin Rice, Jeff Baldetti, Ian Hilpl, Mike Richards, Adam Miles, Spencer Parker, Jeff Higman, Ryan Farrell, Trevor Diamond, Trevor Hin-man, Zach Brownlee, Sam Goodell, Sean Farrell, B.J. Kerr, J.J. Gregg, Austin Amory, Ryan Higman, Eric Pola, Alex Brownlee, Taylor Weyneth, Piotrek Dygas, Kieran Daley, Tim Lewis, Nico Petrocci and Con-nor Gustafson.

Random Thoughts: The lessons of TucsonBy Phil Blackwell

Okay, so the nation on Monday observed a moment of silence in honor of the six lives lost, and 14 lives altered, by an act of violent madness in a parking lot in Tucson, followed by a memorial service two days later. That was the least we could do.

True honor to the victims – and to Gabri-elle Giffords, the Congresswoman targeted and shot in the head – might never really come. Not as long as our country continues to wal-low in guns, heated rhetoric and tacit encour-agement of violence against those we disagree with.

The hours and days that followed Tucson exposed our worst qualities and excesses, starting with erroneous reports that Gifford had died of her wounds, reported as fact by NPR, CNN and others before they took it back hours later. Again, being accurate was not as important as being first.

Then Sherriff Clarence Dupnik, in report-ing on the progress of the investigation, had the audacity and sheer nerve to point at the increased vitriol in current political discourse as a contributing factor to Jared Loughner’s actions. Naturally some wanted to throw him out of office. That’s what you get for telling the truth.

We have spent years slowly and inexorably descending toward this latest low blow to the American psyche. And the culprits are twofold – a frightening tolerance for guns, and a desire for some in our political “discourse” (the quotes are quite intentional) to use extreme metaphors and seek extreme remedies when they don’t get their way. And those factors are not mutually exclusive.

Start with the gun part. Nobody, from our elected officials to our most ordinary of citizens, absorbed the sobering, deadly lessons of Columbine and Virginia Tech, among many other mass shootings in recent times.

Instead of doing everything in their power to make sure that guns were out of the hands of those least capable of handling them, lead-ers kowtowed to the NRA, lest they get voted out of office. When it came to gun control, common sense was not as important as the sacred Second Amendment. Safety concerns got cast aside in favor of weapons worship.

Not coincidentally, the political culture coarsened, with opponents turned into en-emies for reasons real and imagined. Worst of all, an African-American made it to the Oval Office. That really set things off.

Suddenly, it was okay to bring loaded weap-ons to a presidential rally. It was just fine to transform rational town-hall meetings about health-care reform into screech-fests full of finger-pointing, accusations of treachery, de-monization and false terms like “death panels” thrown around like candy.

It was a great career move to heckle Barack Obama in front of a joint session because, hey, you got all the attention afterward. Unchecked, the bad behavior and vociferous opposition led to GOP control of the House, and the par-tisan rancor, again from both sides, promised to heat up even more, if that was possible.

Then a member of Congress gets shot in the brain. Six real live human beings, from a federal judge to an aide to an elderly couple to a 9-year-old girl (born on 9/11/01, no less), are killed. Some people who screamed and carried on suddenly cared for their fellow human be-ings. Others just pointed fingers at the usual

scapegoats they bashed before.Thankfully, the Wednesday memorial

service in Tucson was something beautiful to behold. Much like the service held after the Virginia Tech shootings, there were cheers for the brave men and women that saved lives as people in that community, with one collective voice, showed that they could carry on and that no tragedy was going to tame that spirit.

To top it, President Obama used the service to remind the nation that the people lost all were valuable in their own special ways. He said that since their lives had value, so should ours, and the best way to honor their memory was to be a better citizen and, more impor-tantly, a better human being.

Let’s see if the dissident voices across our political spectrum have the same sober aware-ness of what their words may lead to, in the hands of the wrong people. But don’t expect much, for it’s easier to point fingers at every-one else, and demonize everyone else, than look in the mirror once in a while.

In a hospital in Tucson, Gabrielle Giffords battles for her life, and is winning the battle. As we grieve, and mourn those we have lost, we should devote ourselves to a battle just as important – a restoration of decency and civil-ity in American political culture.

Put down the guns. Heck, put down any inappropriate and violent analogies. Hear what I have to say, but just as importantly, let’s hear what you have to say, with emphasis on the “hear” part. Each side has good points, and they’re worth listening to.

We just might get somewhere. We have to, or we risk having more tragedies to ponder.

Skaneateles b-ball girls lose Leslie to broken finger

Girls hockey takes trio of defeats

Boys hockey Lakers blank Fulton

By Phil Blackwell

Though it only got half the work in last week, the Ska-neateles ice hockey team made it count in an emphatic manner.

Snowed out from a game Wednesday against Auburn, the well-rested Lakers welcomed Fulton to Allyn Arena last Friday night – then proceeded to flatten the Red Raiders in a 5-0 shutout to improve to 6-2-1 on the season.

This proved one of the best all-around efforts of the Ska-neateles season. It scored twice in both the first and second periods, then tacked on another goal in the final period while Trevor Diamond stopped all 25 shots he faced.

On the offensive end, Mike Benson, with three assists, fed passes to Dan Tarolli and Jacob Cooney, both of whom had two goals. Brendan Major had the other goal, with Tyler Stanton and Jon Rogalia joining Tarolli in the assist column.

Still in fifth place in Division II with a 3-2-1 league mark, the Lakers go to Whitesboro Wednesday, then have an intriguing home-and-home weekend set against CBA/J-D, first at Onondaga Nation Arena on Friday, then at its old home rink at Austin Park Saturday.

CLOSE QUARTERS: Skaneateles forward Erin Tonzi (24), who replaced an injured Jackie Leslie in the lineup, works her way past Marcellus’ Molly MacLachlan in last Tuesday’s game.

By Phil Blackwell

Adding a new element to the Skaneateles-Marcellus high school sports rivalry, the basketball Lakers and Mustangs moved their varsity games on Tuesday night to Onondaga Community College’s gymnasium, all for a good cause as proceeds from the doubleheader benefited the “More Than A Game” Foundation, support-ing cancer research at Upstate Goli-sano Children’s Hospital.

Skaneateles emerged from the twin bill with a split, as boys won – but the short-handed girls Lakers saw its three-game win streak halted in a 49-33 loss to the Mustangs.

Just when it looked like Skaneateles had broken out of a years-long funk, a key player got lost. Junior forward Jackie Leslie broke a finger late in the third quarter of last Saturday’s 47-46 win over Bishop Ludden. To that point, she had averaged 11 points

per game.Erin Tonzi replaced Leslie in the

lineup - but it took a while to adjust and, in the meantime, Marcellus jumped out in front, putting Ska-neateles behind 12-2 before the game was four minutes old and 21-10 late in the first quarter.

And the Lakers spent the rest of the game trying to climb out of that early rut. the Mustangs cooled off in the second quarter, but all Skaneateles could do was close within 10 early in the third period. Marcellus used a 7-0 run late in the third period to make it 40-22, essentially putting the game out of reach.

In defeat, Mary Buck led Ska-neateles with 10 points. Emily Call had eight points, with Ashley Sheldon contributing six points. Marcellus had a well-balanced offense as Emily Brissette and Melissa Lee each had 11 points and Bethanie Abbot added 10 points.

The Lakers’ struggles continued Friday night with a 43-37 defeat to Bishop Grimes, who moved up to the OHSL Liberty division this season af-ter years of Class C success, including a sectional title in 2009.

A rough start left Skaneateles be-hind, 21-9, before it scored the last nine points of the first half to move within three, 21-18, at the break. Infused with that momentum, the Lakers even took a 29-28 lead late in the third quarter.

But Grimes scored the last six points of that period and moved ahead for good, negating the work of eighth-grader Elizabeth Lane, who had 13 points, and Call, who added nine points. Holly Ross added six points. For the Cobras, Amelia Heisel-man led with 13 points, most of it from a trio of 3-pointers.

Skaneateles will try to recover this week in games against Bishop Ludden and Jordan-Elbridge.

By Phil Blackwell

Resuming its season after a prolonged break, the Skaneateles girls ice hockey team took on Oswego last Tuesday night and went to overtime before losing to the Buccaneers 1-0.

Having not played since late December, the Lakers saw its offense struggle to find traction. Oswego had

the same issues, though, and for three periods neither side could break through.

Skaneate les goa l ie Amanda Lupo made 24 saves, with Oswego coun-terpart Madisyn Whalen making 22 saves. Only in overtime did it get settled, as the Bucs’ Devyn Hutcheson taking a pass from Caty Darling and

beating Lupo to end it.Then came a rough

weekend for the Lakers as, in back-to-back home games, it took two more defeats, both in regula-tion.

First, Chazy beat them 2-0 on Friday night, using single goals in the second and third periods to ac-count for the final margin. Alex Brown did everything

she could to keep it close, stopping 34 of the 36 shots she faced in the net.

A day later, Skaneateles had a 4-1 defeat to Canton, finally seeing its shutout streak end, but without a satisfactory result. The Lakers stay home this week to face Potsdam and St. Lawrence, needing wins to return to playoff con-tention.

By Phil Blackwell

Rested and ready to hit the mat again, the Ska-neateles wrestling team began its 2011 portion of the schedule when it visited Deposit High School for the Stan Elinsky Tournament on Jan. 8.

Out of 13 teams in the field (three of them state-ranked), the Lakers fin-ished sixth and saw two of its stars, Kevin Pembridge and Jacob Brillo, reach the championship round.

Pembridge, entering the tournament unbeaten, pinned Deposit’s Brock Martin in 19 seconds and Binghamton’s Kevin Nieves in 3:01 to reach the 140-pound title match. Against Tioga’s Derak Heyman (a state finalist last year), Pembridge nearly made it 18 wins in a row, only to fall to Heyman in an exciting 14-10 decision.

As for Brillo, at 160 pounds he went through three rounds, pinning Joe

Maranto (Calvert Hall) and Joe Jackson (Oxford), then surprised favorite Justin Hoffmeir (Newark Valley) 6-0 in the semifinals. Only in the championship match did Brillo run out of magic, falling to Deposit’s Justin Bronson in a second-pe-riod pin.

Three other Lakers had third-place finishes. Garrett Navaroli, at 285 pounds, grabbed that spot, as did Chris Wise at 171 pounds as he pinned Travis Phillips (Newark Valley) in 2:58 to win the consolation brack-et. Jacob Valentino worked his way to third place at 145 pounds by beating Mark Caulfield (Duanesburg) 7-0, his fourth win of the tournament.

Tyler Saunders went 2-2 to earn fifth place at 119 pounds, while Ryan Dick (125 pounds) and Josh Brillo (96 pounds) both finished sixth.

Spearing won the match with his U.S. made P-14 Enfield

Four riflemen met at our range at 0900, Saturday, Jan.8, to shoot our regular weekly high power match. The temperature was 12 degrees, the weather clear and the wind calm. We all fired the A Course of the John C. Garand Match, as fired at Camp Perry, Ohio, at the National Shooting Matches.

Dave Spearing won the match with his U.S. made P-14 Enfield in .303 British caliber. He hit 90-2X’s+95-1X+90-3X’s=275-6X’s. He would have won a gold medal at Camp Perry and we congratulate him on both wins. Paul Straka fired his ’03-A3 and hit 91+92-2X’s+78-1X=261-3X’s.

I fired my ’03-A3 and hit 87+81-2X’s+76=244-2X’s. John Knickerbocker fired his short magazine Lee-Enfield Mk.4, No.1 in .303 British and hit 73-1X+70+63=206-1X. Three of us went to the fine Willow Glen Café after the match for hot beverages. Aryana and Lynn poured. We all thank them. I paid.

On Sunday, Jan.9, sixty trap shooters, including two ladies and several juniors, participated in the second shoot of the winter ten week league. It was snowing, the temperature was in the mid 20’s and the wind was calm.

Urb Womer led the men with a perfect 25. The ladies were led by Addison Radcliffe with 8 hits. Justin Slater and Ben Tierney tied at 16 hits to lead the juniors. Con-gratulations to you all.

On Tuesday night, Jan. 11, eight hand gun shooters participated in the 15th shoot of the winter league. There were no center fire shooters for score.

Chuck Chernoff won the match with a rim fire score of 258-4X’s. Dick Bailer was second with a rim fire score of 238-1X. Paul Straka was third in rim fire with 224.

Stuart Cook led the two handed rim fire shooters with 222-3X’s.

Congratulations to you all.

Genesee and tied the Wildcats 39-39 – but because the Lakers lost eight of the 15 matches, WG earned the tie-breaking criteria point and won 40-39.

The Lakers won every match from 140 to 160 with a pin. Neil Ruggles, working at 145, earned his fall over Cody Ward midway through the sec-ond period, while Pembridge pinned

Wajeeh Hasan in 3:31. Jon Leubner, at 160, pinned Evan

Stefano 36 seconds into the third period and Valentino gained his pin over Dustin Wright-Schwanke just six seconds before the match ended.

Outside of that streak, Jacob Brillo earned a pin over Sean Fronce with 33 seconds left, with Josh Brillo claim-ing a forfeit at 96 and Dick battling

his way to a 12-7 victory over Tyler Heggelke.

Skaneateles would take on Caze-novia Tuesday night, then visit On-ondaga Friday before hosting its own dual meet tournament on Saturday, with teams visiting from Auburn, Fayetteville-Manlius, LaFayette and Chittenango.

Incredibly, it was the second straight time Ska-neateles and Grimes had played a double-OT game. They had done so last February in a remarkable Section III Class B semifinal at Onondaga Community College, where the Cobras prevailed by a four-point margin, 70-66 - the same margin as would happen here.

Back then, Grimes sur-vived largely because for-ward Mike Sugamosto had a triple-double of 23 points, 17 points and 10 blocks, making a 3-pointer at the end of the first OT to keep the game going and add-ing six more points in the second extra period after two Skaneateles for-wards, Pat Roberts and Paul O’Donnell, fouled out.

Many of the Laker stars of that sectional semifi-nal, including O’Donnell, Roberts, Kevin Rice and Brandon Barron, were bent on getting revenge against Grimes. Sugamosto, Mike Stone and the rest of the Cobras were just as bent on stopping them. Together, they produced a classic.

But it didn’t seem that way in the first half. Even though Sugamosto would manage just one field goal all night, Stone and Casey Evans would atone for it, hitting a full array of shots in those first two periods to keep Skaneateles off balance. By the time it

reached the locker room for halftime, the Lakers were down 46-29, and appeared in serious trouble.

It took all of eight min-utes to turn that around. Just as Grimes’ offense was starting to cool off in the third quarter, the Lakers caught fire as the veteran quartet - Rice, Roberts, O’Donnell and Barron - each took turns hitting big shots. What had looked to be a runaway was, by the end of the period, just a two-point margin at 57-55. And the drama was just get-ting started.

All through an exciting fourth quarter, the Lakers and Cobras traded blows, the pace quick and intense. It was Skaneateles cling-ing to a 76-74 lead as the final seconds of regulation

ticked down.With a chance to tie it,

Grimes’ Gai Ater missed - but Stone charged in from the left side and put home the rebound just before the buzzer sounded, making it 76-76 and sending the two sides into overtime once more.

Owning the momentum again, the Cobras inched out in front in the first OT period, claiming an 85-83 edge. Just like that sectional semifinal, though, the game would get prolonged - only this it was the Lakers pull-ing it off, Roberts hitting the tying basket in th waning seconds.

And just like that playoff classic, the second of the four-minute extra sessions would belong to the team that kept the game alive. Skaneateles got big baskets from Barron and Roberts (who stayed on the court all the way this time around) to finally close things out.

Through the long, wild affair, O’Donnell led the way with a career-best 27 points, 13 of them free throws. Roberts had 24 points - eight field goals and eight successful foul shots - with Barron grabbing 21 points and Rice work-ing his way to 17 points. Remarkably, that quartet converted 35 foul shots between them.

Grimes saw Stone pour in 32 points (though he had 42 in a regulation game

against Cazenovia a week earlier), while Evans made four 3-pointers to account for most of his 20 points. Ater had 12 points, with Connor Sohl and Mike Timpano earning nine points apiece.

Before all this, Skaneae-tles had beaten another big rival, Marcellus, 75-54 last Tuesday in the girls/boys doubleheader at Onondaga Community College that benefited the “More Than A Game” Foundation and Golisano Children’s Hos-pital.

Marcellus had struggled through the first half of its regular season, starting 4-5, and the Lakers would not

make things easier.Clamping down on the

defensive side, Skaneateles never allowed Marcellus to get comfortable. And the margin kept growing, from 21-10 in the first quarter to a third-quarter barrage that included 26 points on the Lakers’ side and a 60-27 edge, as lopsided as this rivalry has been in a long time.

This allowed the starters to rest in the late going - but not before Rice and Barron had each put up 16 points, with Pat Roberts working inside to get 12 points. James Smith (seven points) and Mike Richards (six points) were close behind

as each of the 11 Skaneateles players that saw action got at least one field goal before it was done.

As if all this wasn’t enough, on Wednesday Skaneateles gets a chance to avenge its lone loss of the season, to Bishop Lud-den Dec. 12 in the Carrier Dome, when it meets the Gaelic Knights in Ged-des. Ludden was in sole possession of first place in the OHSL Liberty division before Westhill beat them 51-47 last Friday night.

Blair ScottNavy PT boat gunner during WW II

Obituary

Blair Scott

Blair Scott, of Bald-winsville and Skaneateles, New York, passed away peacefully on Jan. 10, 2011. Born in Waynes-burg, Pa on Nov. 2, 1926, he was the son of Worthy and Mary Blair Scott. A graduate of Waynesburg

High School, Blair enlisted in the United States Navy during WW II, was deployed and saw action in the South Pacific Theater as a PT boat gunner.

Blair worked as a steam fitter his entire life and helped build many of the pipelines and power generating stations that are still in use today. His free time was spent fishing, hunting, gardening and reading. He and his wife Bonnie raised six children and found time to also raise German Shepherds and several other breeds over the years.

Blair was a “Meals on Wheels” volunteer. During the 1950s and 60s, while the fam-ily lived in Skaneateles, he coached little league baseball.

His wife of more then 50 years, Ska-

neateles native Marilyn “Bonnie” Davis Scott predeceased him in 2004. Blair’s parents and only sibling, Janet Lively of Pittsburgh also predeceased him.

Blair is survived by five sons and one daughter: Joe of Carlisle, PA; Kyle of Au-burn; Tom (Pia Helgesson) of Maui, HI; G. Rob (Lynn Shepard) of Baldwinsville; Clay of Maui, HI, and Dr. Jennifer Miceli (James) of Huntington, NY; 11 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, as well as a niece and nephews.

Calling hours: 6 to 7:30p.m. Friday Jan. 21 at Grace Episcopal Church, Os-wego Road Baldwinsville, with a memo-rial service (Navy Honor Guard) starting promptly at 7:45 p.m. at the church. Friends and relatives are also invited to share light refreshments downstairs in the church fel-lowship hall following the service. Burial is private.

Contributions can be made to the Cen-tral New York SPCA, 5878 East Molloy Road, Syracuse, 13211. Falardeau Funeral Home in Baldwinsville has charge of ar-rangements.
