Wondering about

Award-winning columnist, photographer and news writer Ellen Leahy is back as the editor of the Skaneateles Press, in beautiful Skaneateles New York.

She is the former editor of the Skaneateles Press and the Marcellus Observer, and most recently the Syracuse City Eagle. She makes her home in Skaneateles where she is also a freelance photographer and caregiver for her parents, Bill and Marion Leahy.

She began her formal writing career as a columnist with one of her hometown papers, The Duxbury Clipper, in Duxbury, MASS. Born in California, she then moved to Sea Girt, NJ. She is a product of small town America - and the late great American Middle Class.

The photo at right is the drive down to Brook Farm off of West Lake Road - one of my former Skaneateles haunts.

The village board struck like white lightning

eleahy, Wondering about

I’ve never seen the village government act with such lightning speed as with their closure of the Skaneateles Dispatch Center.

Now why would this be?

Was the village board afraid this was unpopular among residents that there could be a revolt and the dispatch would be reinstated through the town board?

Why would they fear this?

Perhaps because when they had the issue studied in 2007 by an impartial Joint Town/Village Citizens Advisory Committee (John F...
