Excerpt from Syracuse.com / The Post-Standard
I have vivid memories of September 11, 2001. As a third grader, I understood very little about the details of the situation, but I certainly knew enough to be afraid and saddened by the events. The losses were devastating, and to this day I grieve for the victims and their families.
However, we now find ourselves almost nine years into a war whose benefits remain questionable to me. The War in Afghanistan began when the United States stepped in to protect its citizens, to combat terrorism, and to capture bin Laden.

The sixth-grader at Skaneateles Middle School approached Applebee’s in Auburn and asked that staff collect any crayons after young patrons use them. Instead of throwing them away, the employees dropped them in a bucket Chloe provided that carries her logo. Read entire article here.

It’s hard to imagine a team that has been that has been bumping, setting and spiking its way to an undefeated record all season looking like an underdog when it mattered most.
But there was the Skaneateles volleyball team on Saturday, tied 1-1 with Cazenovia in the Section III, Class B volleyball championship down 8-1 in game three, dropping balls and missing hits like it was the first day of practice.
And then what coach Doreen Doctor was hoping, wishing for herself and her five seniors, happened… Read entire article here.

“Author, lawyer, reality TV host and former pro football player Tim Green has applied to be head football coaching job at Skaneateles High School.
The Lakers are looking for someone to replace John King, who has resigned after six seasons as head coach. Skaneateles went 1-7 in 2009. “I know what’s it’s like to rebuild a program. … I can bring other people together with a common purpose and use everyone’s greatest assets for the benefit of the whole group,” Green said.”

“Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all the things that one is thankful for.
But, in Skaneateles, it is also a time to go for a leisurely run and then drop a few dollars in a hat to benefit a local charity.
The Annual Turkey Trot in Skaneateles is never planned, but the crowd seems to have grown considerably over the years, said Dennis Owen, who is known to many as the event’s grand marshal.
“They try to call me the grand marshal, but I say, ‘No, I’m the grand turkey,’” Owen said.
Aside from Owen, the Turkey Trot is possible with the help of Kevin Cahill, Jimmy Gregg, Bill Marquardt and Jimmy Strodel.”
