Finger Lakes Realty Partners is celebrating 10 years as a private, locally owned real estate company based in the village of Skaneateles. Owner and broker Jerry Morrissey and his partners opened the Genesee Street doors in the summer of 2011, touting a boutique buying and selling experience with an emphasis on partnership, professionalism, confidentiality and personalized service. In 2018, Morrissey and his wife, Kathleen, bought out their founding partners and have moved forward on their own ever since. Amid a historic real estate market during the COVID-19 pandemic, Finger Lakes Realty Partners recently rolled out a brand refresh with the new tagline, “Your best life is our life’s work.” They're also kicking off a campaign highlighting the “Top 10 Reasons Skaneateles is The Place to Live Your Best Life”, teaming up with other local businesses and give back to the community through donations, experiences and more. For more information, follow Finger Lakes Realty Partners on Facebook and Instagram @fingerlakesrealtypartners.
The Owasco chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution has remained active during this past year’s curtailment of in-person meetings by holding its monthly meetings virtually. But that changed when the organization sponsored a flag for the Healing Field of Hopes and Dreams at Hoopes Park. On the bright but chilly morning of May 29, several members met in the park, gathered informally at the flag the group sponsored, and remembered the service of American patriots in all wars and conflicts. Members were humbled by the sight of hundreds of American flags and the sacrifices of all military members. All those able to be present on that morning delighted in the shared in-person event and looked forward to regular events and meetings going forward. The first of those will be the annual Flag Day Luncheon to be held at the Auburn Masonic Lodge on June 19. Next, the chapter will host Daughters of the American Revolution District VII for a July 24 roundtable meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn in Auburn. Pictured in the front, from left, are Laurel Auchampaugh, Marsha Ashbarry (Owasco Daughters of the American Revolution regent) and Joan Panek. In the second row, from left, are Joanne Shernesky, Judy Boedicker and Joan Minde Welch. And in the third row, from left, are Helen Lyons, June Janssen, Jackie Valentino and Lynda Padula.
Auburn Elks Lodge No. 474 held its Flag Day ceremony June 14. The history of the flag was read by state Vice President Frank Saya, Boy Scout Troop 43 and Cub Scout Pack 40 presented the flags, and grandchildren of state Americanism Chair Mindy Johnson, past district deputy to the grand exalted ruler, presented the Pledge of Allegiance.
Evyn Klipple, an Eagle Scout candidate with Throop 95 in Ledyard, recently concluded a book drive he undertook as one of his required Eagle Scout projects. In all, Evyn collected approximately 3,200 books — 2,200 of them were donated to the library at Cayuga Correctional Facility in Moravia, and 1,000 children’s books were donated to the E. John Gavras Center in Auburn. Evyn, accompanied by his mother, Erin Klipple, Scoutmaster Larry Brown and fellow scouts Aidan Brown and Alex Keeney delivered the books to the center May 27. Bob Padula, community liaison at Gavras, said in a news release that “donations like this go a long way in our quest to provide the highest quality educational and therapeutic services to both special needs and typically developing children in our inclusive pre-school program.” From left are Keeney, Aidan Brown, Evyn Klipple, Gavras social worker Josephine Emilio, Larry Brown and Padula; not pictured is Shawn Ganey, an employee at Cayuga Correctional Facility.
From left, Cayuga Community College professor Theresa Misiaszek, Auburn Police Department Sgt. Christine Gilfus, Seymour Library staff member Leigh Romano and Cayuga County affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness President Bart Wasilenko hold mental health backpacks recently donated to the library that are geared for the academic level of a child and contain materials such as coloring books, crayons, reading books, puzzles and other activities. Each backpack has a theme such as worry, sadness and loss. Any library card holder in the county can access these materials through their local library in Cayuga County using the Finger Lakes inter-library loan system. Backpacks can be checked out for three weeks, and the family may keep the consumable materials. When the backpacks are returned, everything is sterilized and restocked with new materials. Currently the library has about 10 backpacks and because of the demand will be putting together more. Funding for the backpacks came from donations to NAMI following publication in The Citizen of the organization's efforts to provide materials to the library.
Chris Molloy recently took his electric blue harp to the top of the Phoenix Building, left, and Hoopes Park in Auburn as part of his Random Acts of Harping series of performances around the community. To watch a video of Molloy performing on top of the Phoenix Building, visit auburnpub.com.
Visitors walk among the hundreds of flags on May 30 that were set up for Memorial Day weekend as part of the Healing Field of Hopes and Dreams display, which was brought back to Auburn's Hoopes Park to raise funds for Operation Enduring Gratitude. Operation Enduring Gratitude takes veterans on a three-day bus trip to Washington, D.C., so they can visit the national war memorials. The next trip is scheduled for spring 2022.
Swagler Strength & Performance in Auburn held its seventh annual Memorial Day Murph workout on Monday. Named in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy, who died in Afghanistan in 2005, the workout consists of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and another 1-mile run, all while wearing a 20-pound weight vest. Murphy used to complete the workout on a regular basis. Swagler owner Jaime Swagler told The Citizen the workout honors those who have lost their lives defending the country and supports those who currently serve, and said he personally completes the workout for his uncle, Craig Swagler, who was in the Navy and died in Vietnam. About 35 people participated in the workout this year.
The Weedsport Jr.-Sr. High School Class of 2021 held its prom May 15 at Old Hickory Farm in the village. The prom queen was Jocelyn Kepple and the prom king was Joey Benedict.
Weedsport junior Matthew Picciano uses Adobe Animate to make a commercial for an insurance company, a project he was assigned in the Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES Emerging Careers in Commerce program. Picciano drew each frame of the commercial by hand and used the software to animate them into a video. “Making each frame and seeing the story come to life was the best part,” Picciano said in a news release. “It was really cool. I think the hardest part was just creating the concept for the business.” The BOCES program gives students opportunities to explore interests in fashion, sports marketing, music, gaming and entertainment, diving into real-world learning business applications and developing a professional portfolio.

Fostering fowl
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cayuga County distributed more than 1,600 day-old pheasant chicks to 20 foster families on Tuesday. The program is a partnership between the Department of Environmental Conservation, hunters, 4-H youth programs and volunteers. The pheasants are available at no cost to any New York resident to raise, but volunteers must provide a brooding facility, a covered outdoor rearing pen and an adequate release site. Sites must be open to public pheasant hunting opportunities. Volunteers must also provide daily care for the chicks, and ensure they have adequate food and water. They can be released when they are eight weeks old, and must be released by Dec. 1. For more information, visit blogs.cornell.edu/ccecayuga.
