Key creates dorm room corner

By Willie Kiernan

The Key, the Albany Street consignment shop, is readying itself for the back to college kids. There is a corner set up downstairs for dorm needs. Some of these items include pj pants, dorm pants, bedding, desk lamps, picture frames, rugs, chairs and more. We welcome the college kids back and wish good luck to all the kids leaving for school, said manager Lisa Cochrane. The Key, which has been doing well in its new digs on Albany Street, offers an inexpensive way to accessorize dorm rooms. The Look Again program, recycling material to reconstruct creative new clothing, with the college was a success last year and they look forward to continuing this partnership in the upcoming semesters. The Key has also enjoyed a wave of volunteerism from some of Cazenovias young people. There have been volunteers in the store on a daily basis, partly due to the fact that the high school now requires 10 hours per student per year for graduation. They would never have volunteered unless they had to, said Cochrane. Then when they show up, they find they want to do more. Keith Stec, who suffered a sports injury in the spring semester at the high school, has been volunteering 10 to 12 hours per week since March. Theres always something to do and someone to talk to, said Stec. The Key, a ministry of St. Peters Church, regularly donates to Caz Cares, CAVAC, The Salvation Army, the Cazenovia Fire Department and many others They accept items on consignment as well as donations.

Art show may be last

The Cazenovia Fine Art Show is coming to Albany Street from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday Aug. 19 and 20. This is the 12th year of the event and as always, its held on the same weekend of the Madison-Bouckville Antique Show and the pottery fair at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park. There will be some new faces this year as well as many returning artists. The art show has historically slowed down antique trafc, allowing many of the village businesses to cash in on the popular weekend. The Farmers Market will move across the street Saturday and take Sunday off. See page 8.
The Franklins celebrate 53 years of festivities.
Museum plans stalled for now p
To celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the Franklin Trek, owners of the famed Syracuse-manufactured air cooled automobile (19021934) once again will be returning to Cazenovia from Aug. 12 to 19. The Trek is a weeklong celebration that brings together Franklin owners from across the world to share the histories, legends, and travels of their favorite automobile. Last year, over 140 Franklins participated. This will be the 36th consecutive time the Trek has made Cazenovia its destination. The Franklins will be headquartered at Cazenovia College and, on Sunday Aug. 13, will have their annual parade of cars on Albany Street beginning at 11a. m. The cars will be on display to the public that day from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lakeland Park, where there will be a chicken barbecue ($9 per person), also open to the public, beginning at noon. Of special interest this year will be the sale of the 2006 Franklin poster, which may be purchased at most village stores, and the beautiful 300+-page, hardcover book, The Franklin Story by Thomas Hill Hubbard, which will be on sale at the picnic. The book contains hundreds of historic photographs and the story of the classic Syracuse-made automobile. Designs for the Franklin Automobile Museum, to be located here, in Cazenovia, have hit a standstill. Proposed plans were presented to the Franklin Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in March. However, the project is now mired in a lawsuit due to disputes about the conditions of the trust left by Hubbard, founder of the Franklin Museum currently located in Tucson, Arizona. A

OPINION

Editorial
Home is where you find yourself
When you look at your home, what do you see? Do you see the location of it and its particular position on the planet? Do you see the leaders and gutters that dont meet, the spotty roof, the chips peeling on the sides? Do you see the faded white stripe across your fence that the vandals painted several Halloweens ago? Do you see the lawn that needs mowing or the windows that need cleaning, or do you just see the lights on inside, maybe a little smoke from the chimney, home sweet home. I know the Jews have to have Jerusalem. Theyd risk annihilation just to keep it. Im not an anti-semitic at all. I grew up with Jews and even worked in a temple. I was making a funny when I suggested Israel shouldve been put in the Hamptons. It shouldve been put in Florida. Al Gore would still be president. But it wasnt meant to be. Israel is fighting terrorism right now, as are Americans in Iraq. Why are Iraqis fighting Iraqis? I dont understand that religious thing, but it is what it is. My problem is, Im not religious. I dont buy the mumbo jumbo. Hey, if people want to have faith, let them. If they want to live life according to an ancient book, fine with me. My sense of good and right is held deep within my heart by a sense of the one God we all share, whether we like it or not. Thats all I need. I dont have the fear of God; I have the love of God. Instead of jihad or Armageddon, I concentrate more on metaphors, the juxtaposition of harmony and attached bathrooms. We took a short trip to Old Forge for two nights. It was over 90 degrees when we got there, but luckily there is that water park. Id like to take credit for the genius of being

Forum, or against em?

The school board has learned well from years of being shot down. Instead of separating items in the upcoming Capital Project, theyve lumped them all together. Now if people want to vote for repairs, a new roof and safety provisions, they must also accept night games and artificial turf. This is a clever political ploy that had one board member saying, If they dont agree with what weve decided, they shouldnt have voted us in. Is it too late to separate the items? The mighty board seems to think so. There will be a forum held Thursday Aug. 17 at the high school auditorium for the public to once again have its say The first forum was sparsely attended. The sec. ond forum almost got ugly This upcoming meeting promises. to have all the goods. So whats at stake? Is it really as garish as they say to host night games? Is it really a terrible thing to allow all sports and genders to use the same field? Is it not better to have lacrosse, field hockey and baseball practice on the field instead of in the school corridors and the parking lots? Yes, old fashioned is nice, but with respect to the Lorenzo Driving Competition, this is 2006 and the horse and buggy days are over. This Capital Project is not about politics. Its not about power-crazy board members wielding their contrivances like sledge hammers on a house of cards. And it shouldnt be about dividing a community It should be about the fu. ture. It should be about the kids. This vote should be multi-part; that would only be fair. It would deflate some of the smugness that the school board seems to have acquired. Property upgrades and safety issues should be separate from multi-use athletics. But both parts should be voted in. Other schools have modernized, just as other countries have. It is wrong to expect anything less from Cazenovia. There is no time to lag behind, whether its athletics or academic study Modern housing projects are one thing, but. when it comes to the kids, thats something else. That lights at night might ruin the pristine neighborhood may be true, but that was the gamble of people buying property next to the school. That is the schools neighborhood. The future, and the kids, must not be compromised for the sake of some historical romance. Dont like the lights? You live on the other side of town, but love to argue these issues because thats what you do? Crawl back into the woodwork and wait for something really important, like another Walmart siting. Build a museum, create shrines so that no one forgets the days of your forefathers, but clear a path for the kids. The children of Cazenovia deserve as much as they can get, all sports, all genders, everyone.

On the job
at the right place at the right time, but it was actually my daughter Mays who planned the whole trip. Mays said, The cabin looked bigger on the computer. It was an adorable little construction, one room, no bath, that featured an overhead light and a wall socket. It had a double bed, bunk beds, and just enough space for an air mattress in between. It was plenty of room for the five of us and maybe even Baxter, my desk jockey jackrabbit. After stocking up at the local grocery store, we made a wood fire and roasted hot dogs from skewers. We ate gherkins with our fingers, apples to be full, and later, smores for dessert. It really wasnt going too bad until my son saw eyeballs glowing in the darkness from the reflection of his flashlight. Son: Mom, see those eyeballs? Mom: Those arent eyeballs; thats a bear! Argh!#!%#911*!!! I ran out, but didnt see the bear. I told my wife to come to bed, where she laid eyes wide open until dawn. Through the night it thundered and poured. It was hot in the dinky airless cabin, but we didnt get wet. Naturally, I slept like a grizzly in hibernation. We were safe and dry and though a little cramped, that little cabin was home. I fetched McDonalds for breakfast, which irritated my son. A return to the water park washed all the crankiness away and the fun only stopped
when we were waiting on long lines. After a second, less eventful night in the cabin, I rousted all the sleepy campers and packed the van. The ride home was downhill and fast. In less than two hours we found our house right where we had left it, seemingly much larger somehow. By noon I was in my office fielding complaints of omissions, admissions and poor visions. It was like I never went away, as Baxter stifled a smile. This morning I woke up and put the water on our flat electric stove for coffee. I rubbed a few shiny beans of Columbian before grinding them. Like always, the daily rag was delivered to my doorstep. With it under my arm, I entered my most holy of shrines, the master bath attached to my bedroom. When the water was boiling, I slowly lowered the glass-stemmed basket with the freshly ground coffee into the pot and set the timer for eight minutes. During that time, I turned on CNN to hear about more tragedy in the Middle East. I remained sad until the timer dinged. Yes, my wife routinely receives her coffee in bed. She likes it with half and half, which we keep in an electric refrigerator right there in the kitchen. I always take a sip from her cup before carrying it upstairs because mine is black and still too hot. I crawled under the covers and nudged her awake. In our horizontal privacy we planned the day She had to bring the. little one for a doctor appointment. I had this column to write. Later, we would play a wedding gig. Just another day, except I think Ill get the boys to paint the fence and that invasive white stripe.

To the editor, Let me start off by saying two things, (1) I, like you, oppose higher taxes and (2) I am for the Cazenovia School Districts capital improvement plan. The estimated building project cost is close to 13 million dollars. Most people at the last two community forum meetings did not dispute the need for such improvements as the roof replacement at the high school, asbestos removal at the elementary school or updating the multi-use areas for academic programs. These projects, if not done now would only cost more to repair in the future. The real issue was the addition of the multi-use turf field, and the field lights. There were good questions from both sides of the argument. Will there be a request

If youve been holding your breath waiting for Congress to come up with a solution to what some are calling a crisis, you know, illegal immigration, you can exhale. Nothing is going to happen until after the November elections, if then. In the meantime, lawns will be mowed, stuff shoveled, dishes washed, toilets cleaned, boards nailed, concrete poured, crops picked, in general all the heavy lifting and dirty work we ourselves dont want to do will get done by men and women with Latin-American surnames. Oh yes, forest fires will be fought and our border with Mexico will be patrolled by police and National Guard that include many members with those same last names. Not to forget the U.S. business that will continue to profit from exploiting immigrant, legal or not, workers. Here in Central New York our hundreds if not thousands, so says a U.S. Attorney, can go about their work at minimum or

No denying the given that all of us, American Indians excluded, of whatever generation, are descendents of immigrants not all with Anglo-Saxon names, not all having come over on the Mayflower. Do we ever wonder what might have been for us if our forebears hadnt transported their genes from there wherever to here? What if theyd not been permitted to come? Menaces to America? Once off the coast not allowed to land? Wrong skin color? Wrong religion? Quota already filled? Remember the German ship St. Louis, May-June, 1939, steaming up and down the east coast with 930 refugees? Refused landing in U.S. ports and Cuba, then under U.S. control? FDR had no comment.

self the other day when I came across a copy of Seduced by Hitler, the Choices of a Nation and the Ethics of Survival, by Adam LeBor and Roger Boyes (2000). Interesting reading in itself, but it was the jacket photo that struck me: Adolf Hitler standing with his hands on the shoulders of black-uniformed boy, 12 or 13-years-old, member of the Hitler Youth. The blondhaired boy locked familiar. I went to a box of old family photographs Sure enough, there was photo of blond, 12 or 13-year-old Donald in his military school uniform, gray not black. Why I was in military school is a whole
other story, but comparing the two photos I had to say, but for an immigrant grandfather carrying my genes to this country, that could have been me in the black uniform.

Its time for a six-month check-up on my stint as town supervisor. Many people ask how I am doing, and I usually joke about honing my juggling skills. Its a fair question, and I decided to use my monthly column to provide a more thoughtful analysis of the state of local government. The town board-elect met late in December 2005 to set our priorities for this year. Review zoning along the Route 20 corridor. Update the comprehensive plan. Develop strategies to protect agricultural lands. Audit the town books. Investigate costs and benefits of centralizing operations of the highway dept. and the towns water districts. Communicate through an improved web presence and columns in the Cazenovia Republican. Take actions to protect and improve Cazenovia Lake. Its an ambitious agenda. Getting things done sometimes takes longer than I had hoped, and Im learning that government is different from the business world, where collaboration and team building are the norm. The good

news is that we are making progress. The priorities encompass three areas: (1) adopt planning tools that guide growth and protect critical resources; (2) make our local government more accessible; and (3) find ways to cooperate and consolidate services to improve efficiency As of March. 2006 we have a town attorney specializing in municipal law; John Langey is supporting our efforts as we move forward with these priority tasks. In the areas of planning and inter-municipal cooperation, the town agreed to serve as lead agency for a joint grant application for state funds to support collaborative land use planning. Cazenovia town and village, Nelson, and the school district and CACDA have been meeting since January We. issued a Request for Proposals and interviewed professional planners, and selected

Environmental Design and Research (EDR) of Syracuse. EDR has begun work with an analysis of rezoning in the Route 20 corridor. We meet regularly with representatives of the lake association and have begun to examine the impervious surfaces local law to see how it can be improved. Ill add the towns agricultural protection grant application in the category of tools to guide growth. The purchase of development rights grant would protect over a thousand acres of productive land in the town. EDR will look for other innovative approaches to guiding development and protecting prime agricultural lands. We are making progress on the second front, transparency in government. The towns web site is being overhauled using the Digital Towpath, a cooperative for upstate NY local government. Brenda Kayne CPA of Auburn is auditing the town financial accounts. We are developing an employee manual with job descriptions and uniform policies and procedures. Thats my assessment of progress to date. If anyone has suggestions, Im listening.

A renowned composer, whose music was premiered, remarked that hed never had a better performed premiere of any of his nearly 500 works, while a Juilliard faculty member who attended a Rising Stars concert was extremely impressed with the level of young talent featured. Many attending took advantage of the wonderful restaurants in Cazenovia, in addition to purchasing art and books. Over 80 performers and artists participated in the festival, and all praised the beautiful setting, wonderful people, and the enthusiastic audience response. With the continued support of the Cazenovia community, the committee hopes to keep this unique festival, highlighting the gifts of regional artists, flourishing for years to come.

This year we were fortunate to have a large number of wonderful high school student helpers to accomplish the big book-moving tasks (the Boy Scouts helped with this as well). We would like to specifically thank MacKinnon Liquors, Brookside Greenhouses, the many local merchants who placed book sale flyers in their shops, Anne Saltman for her timely and delicious goodies, and the dedicated library staff members. We look forward to seeing everyone next year. ALLYN STEWART, PRESIDENT FRIENDS BOARD To the editor, Most of the Village residents are aware that Cazenovia College is building an addition to Shove Hall. However, how many of the villagers are aware that part of the project involves a significant increase in the size of the parking lot at the colleges Edwards Hall. The parking lot expansion is on property that the college bought following a hearing in October 2000. Neighbors present at that hearing were concerned about the potential change in use that might occur when the formerly residential property was eventually developed by the college. At the hearing the colleges attorney pledged a buffer area of 50 feet on the north and west property lines for any development that would occur. Move forward 5 years and the college presented their plans for the Shove Hall expansion to the Village Planning Board. The SEQR process requires the impact on the Shove Hall project on neighbors to be assessed, and any negative impacts should be mitigated. During the hearings both the village and the college determined that the impacts on neighbors that were to be assessed include visual impact, impact on the neighborhood, and impact on the historic district. During the August 23, 2005 hearing, no mention of the parking lot design was made by the colleges representatives or Dr. Tierno. The only discussion concerning the parking lot centered on the number of vehicle trips which would result from the increase in number of spaces; which the college indicated would be negligible. A village planning board member also indicated the site plan appeared to pro

Come hear all of your favorite songs and see all of the beloved characters, from the Tinman, to the Lion, to Dorothy herself, when Sherburne Music-Theater Society and the Earlville Opera House bring The Wizard of Oz, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday August 11 and 12 and at 3 p.m. Sunday August 13 to the Sherburne-Earlville High School Auditorium. Donna Moren directs The Wizard of Oz, the Royal Shakespeare Company version of the show. It includes many of the songs from the well-loved 1939 movie, including the favorite Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The story of the Wizard of Oz is a classic that is beloved among all generations. When a nasty neighbor tries to have her dog, Toto, put to sleep, Dorothy (Jenni Larchar) takes Toto to run away. A cyclone appears and carries her to the magical Land of Oz where she meets a whole village of Munchkins and Glinda the Good Witch of the North (Heather Bagnall). Wishing to return to Kansas, Glinda instructs her to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City where she will meet and gain help from the great Wizard of Oz (Richard Heim). On her way she meets a Scarecrow (Adrian Enscoe) who needs a brain, a Tin Man (Michael Moren) who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Frank Bianchi) who desperately needs courage. They all hope the Wizard of Oz will help them, before the Wicked Witch of the West (Cindy Neal) catches up with them. The production was originally going to be held at the Earlville Opera House, but everyone agreed it was better to move to a larger space when community interest in the production soared. The SMTS production of The Wizard of Oz boasts a cast of close to 100 members, making it one of the largest, if not the largest, production ever staged by Sherburne Music-Theater Society.

Safety tips- Issue overlooked by residents
By Fire Chief Thomas Tait
Last month I discussed the importance of having your house number placed in a highly conspicuous location, preferable on both sides of your mailbox if you live outside of the village, using large, reflective numbers. I am pleased to announce that several residents contacted me for more information so that they can become compliant! It is gratifying to know that this Safety Tips column is an effective way for the Cazenovia Fire Department to share valuable information for eliminating hazards and improving the safety of your home and property for you and your family. An issue that is often overlooked by residents is the ability for emergency apparatus, specifically fire trucks, to easily access your driveway and stage close to your residence in the event of a fire. There have been more than a few occasions over my career as a firefighter where we have been either slowed down or altogether prevented from getting to a residence because of poorly planned or improperly maintained driveways. Low hanging branches, narrow driveways or drives with sharp curves, inadequate snow removal, lack of a turn-around and excessive grades are just a few examples of the obstacles we face on a regular basis. Perhaps next to not being able to find a residence because of a lacking house number, not being able to gain close access to a residence is one of the most frustrating experiences for a fire department. Residents must be mindful that todays fire equipment is larger in every way than what they might imagine. Their height, width and length are often underestimated. For instance, our first due fire engine is 8 feet wide, 10 feet tall and 30 feet long and is an essential piece of equipment for us during a structure fire. Could your driveway accommodate it? As a rule of thumb, your driveway surface should be at least 12 feet wide with a substantial gravel base. The vegetation should be at least 14 feet from the ground over the drive and 4 feet from either side of the edge of the drive. On long driveways a turn-around at some point is helpful. If you live on a fire lane or private drive with multiple residences, signage at Ys in the drive indicating where the houses are (by number) is extremely helpful. Be mindful where you pile your snow. Would it impede our ability to get to you? Planning is the most important part of the process. I am a proponent for the local municipalities adopting guidelines for driveway construction so as to avoid a tragic outcome later. There are currently several driveways to new residences that may not be accessible during inclement weather. Slope restrictions, finished width minimums, construction specifications, vegetation clearance standards and negotiable driveway curves are some of the issues our municipalities should address with new construction. For existing properties, the responsibility falls on the homeowner. As Chief I am more than willing to meet with a resident of our fire district and review your access and offer suggestions for improvement. Take a moment and review the access to your property A. bit of work now could mean the difference between life and death later. Next month Ill address smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Stay safe!

By Mark David Blum, Esq.

First let me say that I have known Jeff since we were in law school together. I have eaten at his home, met his family and consider myself a friend of his father. Jeff and I will never agree on anything political and do not travel in the same circles. Apparently, my blood is not blue enough to qualify. I firmly believe Jeff is an honorably intentioned man. He is good and kindhearted and is the guy you want to marry your daughter. He does however have bad counsel, which may explain his political impotence these past years in office. Overall Jeff has failed his promise to take up the cause of giving New York citizens the power that is theirs originally; the power of the referendum. Jeff sat on the all-powerful Assembly Health Committee but took no steps to help passage of the Medical Marijuana Act here in New York. He took campaign donations from the pharmaceutical companies to make sure New Yorkers do not get Canadian drugs. Jeff did nothing to bust the power orgy in Albany. Lying and misrepresenting are almost standard fare these days for Republicans. But in a move so dangerous and disgusting, I read how Brown is actively working to prevent upstate voters from having a selection of candidates on the ballot. It is appalling that a man who allegedly touts his role as a soldier, lawmaker, father, and American would devote energy and resources to block the American people from being able to have the candidates of their choice on the ballot. Being unable to win an election at the ballot box, this Republican like so many others, use the courts to cripple all Americans rights to vote for the candidates of their choice. But my ability to remain friendly and hospitable toward Mr. Brown ended with the recent spate of radio commercials he is running on WSYR. Frankly, I am sick and tired of listening to the gross misrepresentations and attempts to outwardly lie to the public in an effort to garner votes. For

Colgate is preseason favorite
Defending champion Colgate has been picked as the preseason favorite to win the 2006 Patriot League football title in a vote of the league coaches and sports information directors. The announcement was made at the Patriot League Media Day at the Green Pond Golf Course in Bethlehem, PA. In other news, Colgate sophomore tailback Jordan Scott (Hyattsville, MD/DeMatha Catholic HS) was selected as the preseason Offensive Player of the Year, while senior strong safety Geoff Bean (Oneonta) was named the preseason Defensive Player of the Year. The Raiders, who won their fifth Patriot League title last fall under head coach Dick Biddle, return 36 letterwinners including 10 starters from last years 8-4 squad which qualified for a seventh appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. Besides Scott and Bean, Colgates other key returnees are first team all-league quarterback Mike Saraceno (Sunrise, FL/ American Heritage H.S.), second team center Jake Sulovski (Hampton, NJ/North Hunterdon HS) and second team cornerback Cody Williams (Blasdell, Orchard Park HS).
The Morrisville State College Mustangs, who finished 5-5 last season in the NJCAA, begin their first season in the National College Athletic Association as a provisional member of Division III, with the opening of pre-season football camp Wednesday Aug. 9.
