Generous
Agreement Between Bank and
Skaneateles
Area Chamber of Commerce
SKANEATELES
SAVINGS BANK HAS AGREED TO be the Official Sponsor
of this year's Annual Antique and Classic Boat Show. The agreement between
the Bank and the Skaneateles Area
Chamber of Commerce(click to visit), was struck primarily as a result
of the initiative and fine efforts of outgoing Chamber President, Sarah
Wiles-Ehmann, who has been a devoted supporter of the Annual Antique Boat
Show in Skaneateles and who believed that strong local support could be
realized. The Bank's sponsorship of the Show is also strong confirmation
of the community's approval of the Chapter's efforts to put together a
quality event, one that benefits local merchants and the community as a
whole. It also bodes well for similar sponsorships in future years.
In
announcing their sponsorship, John P. Driscoll, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Skaneateles Savings Bank, noted, "The event which pays respect
to an activity and industry which has been a major part of our community
for many years is important to us as a bank and as a community. As a lender
to our community and the marine industry since 1866, boating is an integral
part of our business. For the community this activity complements nicely
the summer activities that make use of beautiful Skaneateles Lake and lends
its support in keeping the history and culture of the area alive. Skaneateles
Lake and the Finger Lakes have seen a great deal of marine traffic throughout
the centuries.The area would not have developed at the same pace or with
the same distinction without it."Skaneateles Savings Bank is a locally
owned and headquartered financial institution that has been servicing the
needs of the community for over 130 years. It has nine branches, with offices
located in Skaneateles, Camillus, Syracuse, North Syracuse, Cicero, Liverpool
and Oswego. They can be found on the World Wide Web at:
www.skaneatelesbank.com ()
The
Finger Lakes Chapter thanks Sarah Wiles-Ehmann, John Driscoll and the entire
Skaneateles Savings Bank staff for the confidence they have shown in the
Chapter. All can be assured that FLC will do its best to merit that confidence
in 1998 and beyond.
Over 100FLC members
and their guest attended the Chapter's Annual Dinner Meeting and Silient
Auction on January 24th at the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles.Bill
Eberhart's staff did a first class
job of providing a well planned set-up for the evening's activities and
an outstanding dinner buffet. In addition to the announcement of the Skaneateles
Savings Bank's spon sorship of the Chapter's 1998 Boat Show, several other
items were on the Annual Meeting's agenda:
President's
Cup Awarded Because of his successful
efforts to organize and promote the Chapter's Annual Boat Show in Skaneateles,
Bill Murphy was
awarded the 1997 President's Cup by Outgoing FLC President, flrnie
Rubenstein.In late 1994 when the idea of moving the
Chapter's annual show to Skaneateles was first being considered, Bill was
winding up his tenure as President of the Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce.
Under his guidance and promotional efforts, the idea gained momentum and
be came a real possibility. In 1995 and 1996, working closely with the
Chamber, local merchants, the community's governmental offices and the
Chapter, Bill orchestrated the way for FLC's first two antique boat shows
in Skaneateles Thanks and congratulations, Bill, for all you've done to
successfully es tablish the Chapter's home in
Skaneateles.
It couldn't have been done without you!
Successful
Silent Auction Thanks to the generosity
of many FLC members and several Skaneateles merchants, the Chapter's Annual
Silent Auction was very successful, raising over $1700. for the Chapter's
treasury. Among the several very fine items in the auction: A black walnut
steering wheel made by Scott
Dorrer; a beautiful monochrome print of two race boats
moving at speed across the water in the moonlight, donated by Jim
Brennan ; and a couple of original Hickman Sea Sled
Brochures provided by Steue White. Many
thanks to everyone who donated items and many thanks to those who bid on
them.
Poster
Art Work Raffle Capping off the evening
was the drawing for the winner of the original art work used to produce
the 1997 FLC Boat Show Poster. Congratulations to the winners, Bruce
& Sharon Hall of King Ferry, NY, who opted for
the $2000. cash alternative, leaving the art work available to any FLC
member who wished to bid on it via sealed bid. Two sealed bids were subsequently
received and the winner was Arnie Rubenstein with a bid of $3,118. Congratulations
to everyone who participated in the raffle and bidding.

Letter
From the Outgoing President
The last two years have gone by all too
quickly and with them a couple of my
most enjoyable years in antique
boating.
It has been a genuine pleasure to have served the Chapter and to have worked
with so many fine people in ACBS, the Chapter and the Skaneateles Area
Chamber of Commerce during my tenure as
FLC
President. And it has been very rewarding to see the Chapter grow and establish
itself in its new "home" in Skaneateles. Sponsorship of the 1998 Boat Show
by the Skaneateles Savings Bank is a fine testament to the Chapter's acceptance
in Skaneateles. Congratulations to Scott Buehler,
Roger Townsend, and Dana Ritchie
on their election to new offices. Under their leadership,
I'm confident that the Chapter will continue to prosper, grow and become
an even stronger presence in antique boating circles in the years to come.
Thanks
for the privilege of being your president and for all your support.

Letter
From the Incoming President
NEW
CHAPTER OFFICERS WERE INSTALLED AT the Annual Meeting
and all of us feel honored to serve the Chapter. Our chapter has been blessed
with a long series of strong leaders. We plan to follow their footsteps
and lead the Chapter toward even more opportunities for boating with neighboring
ACBS chapters and the Antique Boat Museum. Susan and I had antique boats
for many years before we discovered the Antique and Classic Boat
Society.
When we joined FLC, our boat, Uickster, was
in the middle of a major restoration, so we were "boatless." Members of
FLC and ACBS happily shared their boats with us for two years until Uickster
was back in the water. We ended up going as many places
and doing almost as much boating as we do now! Visiting different waterways
and sharing antique boating with other wooden boat lovers is what ACBS
means to me. I want to share
that experience with as many of our members as I can. My hope is to encourage
you to enjoy all of the fun and diversity that antique boating offers.The
first step in starting anything is to simply start. Let's start this boating
season by enjoying a day on the St. Lawrence River on May 16th. In the
morning, we help the Antique Boat Museum get ready for the season. Then
we enjoy a nice lunch provided by the Museum. Then we spend the entire
afternoon boating on the river! The Museum lets us use their antique boats,
and every one can ride as long as they want. Put it on your calendar now!
Later in the year you can plan on traveling with chapter members as we
enjoy Ohio hospitality at the Vermillion Boat Show in June, visit Canada's
Muskoka Lakes Region in July for the Toronto Boat Show, support our FLC
show on Skaneateles Lake, trek up the Rideau Canal to Westport, Ontario
in early August, and then return to the St. Lawrence River for the Antique
Race Boat Regatta
August
14th through 16th. Happy Boating! Scott Buehler

Rochester's
Corn Hill Arts Festival
AN
ANTIQUE BOAT SHOW IS BEING ADDED TO Rochester,
New York's Corn Hill Arts Festival which will be held on
Sat. and Sun., July 11-12 this year.
The Festival is one of the top-rated festivals in the United States, drawing
over 200,000 visitors each year. Festival
organizers have asked Wine Country and Finger Lakes Chapters to provide
a dozen boats in the water during the two-day event. Ed
Ritter and Ted Tinker,
both from the Rochester area, have agreed to head
up the effort to encourage antique boat owners from both Chapters to take
their boats to the Festival. In return, sponsorship funding has been secured
for the antique boats and will accrue to the two chapters. The Antique
Boat Museum will also send Dixie I I to
the Festival to be part of the wooden boat display. Well-built, heavy-duty
aluminum floating docks and boat slips are in place and will be used for
the antique boats during the festival. The boat show venue is immediately
adjacent to a major part of the Festival's activities and a hospitality
tent will be setup at the head of the main dock for exhibitors. Security
will be provided by the Festival during off-hours. Early plans include
use of a crane for launch and retrievial of boats at the boat show site.
Vehicle parking will be provided near the site for the convenience of exhibitors,
and as a safety measure, a sheriff's or police safety boat will be manned
and standing by at the docks during the Festival's operating hours. The
Corn Hill Neighborhood is an historic
mix of 19th century restored homes and modern town houses located just
south of downtown Rochester on the Genesee River. The Festival combines
an eclectic mix of artists from all disciplines with a wide variety of
food vendors, musicians and other entertainment. The June issue of this
newsletter will contain
more on Corn Hill. In the meantime, do plan to support Ed and Ted in their
efforts to line-up boats for the Festival.
Small
Craft & Marine Engines Wanted for FLC's Boat Show
ALTHOUGH
AVAILABLE DOCK SPACE LIMTS the number of in-the-water
displays in the Chapter's Annual Boat Show to about 45 boats, the expansive
lawn area of Clift Park, right next to the docks, offers a perfect site
for the display of small craft, outboard engines and unmounted inboard
engines. In addition, the availability of an adjacent dock especially for
the launch and retrieval of small craft, makes it easy for small craft
owners to enjoy their boats in the water during the course of the Boat
Show weekend. A wide range of many types of small craft and engines on
the park lawn would make an impressive addition to the Chapter's Boat Show.
Jeff Craig, owner of Amie,
an 1880s Bowdish sailing canoe, is already making
plans to bring his boat to the Show. If you're a small craft or marine
engine owner, why not make plans to spend an interesting and enjoyable
summer weekend displaying your prize(s) on one of the world's most beautiful
lakes?
Century
Boat Club FOUNDED
IN 1979, THE CENTURY BOAT Club, Inc.
was established to promote an appreciation of or interest in the wooden
boats built by the Century Boat Company over the
years.
In 1998, the CBC became an Associate Member of ACBS. Membership in the
CBC brings with
it
a quarterly magazine, "The Thoroughbred" which
is filled with helpful information on Century boats. Annually, the CBC
also holds a seminar near Detroit, MI and a boat show each July in Manistee,
MI. FLC member, Fred Marks, is
a Director of the CBC and invites inquiries about the Club. Fred can be

IN A COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENT
BETWEEN the Antique Boat Museum and the Finger Lakes Chapter, both organizations
had a strong presence at the Central New York Winter Boat Show held at
the State Fair Grounds in Syracuse, NY from Feb. 18th through 22nd. The
Museum provided three boats for displays; Dixie I I (a 1908 39ft
Gold Cup racer), Miss 1000 Islands (a ,193Os 30-ft. reproduction Hacker
Craft) and Miss Behave (a 1939 16-ft. Gar Wood Speedster). The Chapter,
friends of the Museum and Museum staff provided staffing throughout the
event, plus set-up and tear-down of the displays. Thanks to the very good
offices of Show Coordinator, Dennis Honeywell, the antique boat display
was strategically located just inside the main show building's entrance.
In that location the bright mahogany transom of Miss 1000 Islands was the
first thing to greet an estimated 30,000 visitors as they entered
the CNY Show. In the course of the show, ACBS/FLC membership applications
were dispensed, Ship's Stores items were sold, innumerable visitors'
questions about antique boats were answered, and a dozen new members were
added to FLC and ACBS rosters. FLC support of the event was excellent with
several members offering to help after the staffing roster was full and
the free exhibitor passes had all been allocated. Many thanks to
Bud Ames, Bill Beall, John Butera, the Dancks family (particularly Minnie
who had the eye for properly arranging the boats for display), Bruce Hall,
Robb Kidd, John Laidlaw, Syd & Shirley Marsden, Dick Ridings, Ed Ritter,
Phil Rubenstein, Diane Schwenke,
Dick Sherwood, Roger
Spofford, Ted Tinker and Ron Svec for staffing and supporting this first-time
event for the Chapter. Wink Beadle, Mary Ellen Gentry, Tony Mollica and
Charlotte Yehle representing the Museum, also took their turns manning
the area. However, principal credit for the success of the week goes
to
Arnie Rubenstein
who organized the antique boating presence at the show and spent
much of the week at the Fair Grounds making sure everything was in order
and running smoothly.
Thanks, Arnie, for
a job very well done!

Editor's
Column
There are several
people who deserve recognition for the class act that is the Chapter's
Annual Boat Show in Skaneateles: Susan Buehler and John Laidlaw
for first broaching the idea of possibly moving the Show to Skaneateles
and then co-chairing the first three shows: Bill Eberhardt for his
promotion of the idea of an antique boat show in the village and his sense
of the community's receptivity for it; Bill Murphy for leading and
coordinating the effort to make the first two shows a reality; Peter
Wiles for coming up with the where-with-all to design and build the
excellent docks now used for lake boaters as well as the Boat Show; Arnie
Rubenstein for his leadership of the Chapter during the last two years
as the Boat Show took hold and developed into a mature, well-planned and
well-executed event; Susan Dove who as Administrator at the Chamber, has
done yeoman's service in tending to a myriad of details coordinating and
promoting the Show both within and outside the community; and most recently,
Sarah Wiles-Ehmann who, as Chamber President, coordinated last year's
show, and is leading the effort to put together this year's event and took
the lead in securing
Skaneateles Saving
Bank's sponsorship of the 1998 Show. And, of course, there are many
others who have contributed their time and talents toward the success of
the past three shows. Taken together, the result has been remarkable. The
Chapter can take great pride in the confirmation expressed by the Skaneateles
Savings Bank's sponsorship. However, that sponsorship brings with it obligations.
The Chapter must strive toward an even higher quality Boat Show weekend
that benefits local merchants and businesses, meets visitors', spectators'
and exhibitors' expectations, and reflects even more favorably on the Skaneateles
community. Much has been gained and now much is expected. We must continue
to improve the quality of our Show.
Your help is welcomed.
