S
ummer Fun Ahead:
As winter finally
draws to a close, we look
forward to the warm and
sunny days ahead. There
are so many events and
activities to look forward
to as our summer begins to unfold. I
would like to highlight one event and one
activity that holds a lot of positive
memories for me.
The Event is Community Day.
It is scheduled for
Saturday June 4th
2016 at Stafford Park
(Our 8th year) . It is a
jammed packed day
full of special events,
sports, food, music,
and just good old fun. The kids just run
around and have a ball with their friends,
get an ice cream, jump in a bouncy house
and yell for their duck to win the race. The
adults get to socialize, grab a couple hot
dogs, listen to some great music and try to
find their kids. The day is capped off by the
spectacular Optimist fireworks show. One
year during the fireworks show I heard an
excited parent said, “What an awesome
day! That is what small town America is all
about!” I have always thought that
comment was perfect.
The Activity is Swimming
For many of us swimming is one of our
most anticipated activities of the summer.
For this to remain a fond summer
memory, water safety must be a crucial
part of our planning. Did you know
according to the CDC, every day, about ten
people die from unintentional drowning?
Of these, two are children aged 14 or
younger. Drowning ranks fifth among the
leading causes of unintentional injury
death in the United States. Also according
to the CDC, two main factors that affect the
drowning risk are the lack of swimming
ability and the lack of close supervision
while swimming.
Last year, and again this year we will
partner with the town of Pompey summer
swim program. This program is free for
LaFayette residents and is conducted by
certified swim instructors at the Cazenovia
College pool. This a great opportunity for
our children to learn how to swim at an
early age. For more information about
dates, times and registration you can go to
the Town of LaFayette web site
www.townoflafayette.com then click on the
Community Council Tab.
Recreation Swimming opportunities will
transition from the former LaFayette beach
to the other beach within our TownJamesville Beach. This facility is operated by
Onondaga County Parks and offers a
substantial water front, sandy beach area,
picnic grounds, playground equipment,
large changing rooms and lifeguard
supervision.

May 28 - June 12: Friday - Sunday &
Memorial Day • 11am - 6pm
June 17 - August 14: Friday - Sunday & July

W
elcome Spring! It’s the wonderful time of the year
when snow finally melts, trees begin to blossom and
the streets look lively and green again! Even though there
might’ve been a bit of confusion with Mother Nature, who sent
some snow for a rather cold welcome to the new season, we
can’t wait until temperatures start going up, and we see our
areas come back alive once more. Spring comes with the idea
of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth, and most people
see it as a time of change. Here are some quotes to start celebrating Spring
and wishing everyone a happy new season!
“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” - Hal Borland
“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not
sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” - Anne
Bradstreet
“April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.” - Christopher
Morley
“Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.” - Doug
Larson
“It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you
want — oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes
your heart ache, you want it so!” - Mark Twain
“I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a
garden.” - Ruth Stout
“Science has never drummed up quite as effective a tranquilizing agent as a
sunny spring day.” - W. Earl Hall
“Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.” - Virgil A. Kraft
“Every spring is the only spring — a perpetual astonishment.” - Ellis Peters
“Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men.” - Chinese Proverb
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.” - Pablo
Neruda
“The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the
human soul is apt to revive also.” - Harriet Ann Jacobs
“I suppose the best kind of spring morning is the best weather God has to
offer.” - Dodie Smith
“Despite the forecast, live like it's spring.” - Lilly Pulitzer
“Spring is the time of plans and projects.” - Leo Tolstoy
“Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'”
- Robin Williams
Now, to Town Clerk business…….

H
ello LaFayette Residents—
Thank you
to all residents,
groups and
organizations
that participated
in making the annual Earth Day
event a HUGE success! As the
Highway Departments heads into
the summer months, a lot of
highway work is planned. Another
successful trip to Albany
advocating more money for Local
Highway roads on March 9th was Outstanding! As Vice President of the Onondaga
County Highway Association we worked with state lawmakers to increase CHIPS
(Consolidated Highway Improvement
Program) funding and
add millions to help
out our local decaying
infrastructure.

From the Dog Control Officers
W
e recently have received many calls from both
Lafayette residents and non residents reporting that
they have found a dog walking along the town road and have
stopped and picked it up. We want to review the town laws
in regards to this action and the reasoning for this action
being an inappropriate one.
The Town of Lafayette, at the present time, does not have a
leash law. The dog you see walking down the road may
belong to your neighbor or a resident in the vicinity of your
home. In many cases the dog may find his way home. If you
do pick up the dog and involve the Dog Control officer the
dog needs to be transported to the shelter. The owner then
has to retrieve the animal from the shelter and is billed a
minimum of 150.00 dollars to retrieve their pet. If the owner
does not retrieve their pet the town is charged costing the
taxpayer.
We know that you all have very genuine concern for the
animals safety and welfare but perhaps before loading the
dog in your car it would be better for all concerned to either
call us to investigate further and hopefully reach out to your
neighbors to locate the owners.
We have had some instances where the person that has
picked up the dog has been bitten and this is always a
possibility when dealing with animals that may be anxious,
scared or even hurt.
The other important part is
that all dog owners are
responsible to keep their
pets safe and I encourage all
pet owners to accept this
responsibility. We also have
a chip reader and
recommend pet owners to
take advantage of this technology. It is also a law that your pet
has a collar with identification in place to make identification in
cases that involve your pet.
Tickets can be issued if your dog is a nuisance, destroys property
and hurts someone and this may also involve the court and legal
action. It is also the law that all dogs have an up to date rabies
shot as well as a license. Please refer to the free rabies clinics in
the Town Clerk’s article or on the town of LaFayette event
calendar on the home page www.townoflafayette.com If you
have any questions regarding the NYS laws as well as our town
laws you can obtain them from our town office or please feel
free to contact us.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this issue and
let's all keep our pets safe and happy!!

From the LaFayette Optimists
S
pring is in the air and the Lafayette Optimists
are on the ground ! We will do a clean up of the
park and then it’s on to the Fishing Derby and the
Bike Rodeo. We will be replacing some picnic tables
and adding benches to the walking path.
First we need to report that the Second Annual
Lafayette Optimist 7th and 8th Grade Boys
Invitational Basketball Tournament was a great
success. Money was raised for two local families in
need and the kids tore up and down the basketball
courts at the high school . A good time was had by
all.
The Fishing Derby is an annual event in May at the
pond at Fred Stafford Park. The pond is stocked
beforehand and the kids are let loose to catch what
they can. Plenty of prizes are given out for the different age
groups etc. We also have hot dogs aplenty which we cook up
under the pavilion. To see so many kids , young and old, with
poles out ringing the pond is like something out of a Norman
Rockwell painting.
Also, we sponsor / run the Bike Rodeo. In June ..we have a bike
course, etc. . Kids doing laps on their bikes around the pond .
Bike safety is stressed of course. We also sponsor an Oratory
contest in the school system as well. Both boys and girls
compete.
Lets not forget that the Lafayette Optimists also sponsor the
Fireworks at the Lafayette Community Day event. If you
haven’t seen this pyrotechnic display you are missing a great
show ! The fireworks are put on by a very professional outfit
and we fund it with our annual Golf Ball Drop so if you see
signs up for ticket sales or are approached by an Optimist with
tickets in hand you know the money stays local and is enjoyed
by the entire community.
We will also be sponsoring several athletic related activities
involving the High School. We decide on which activities to
sponsor based partly on whether it's an ongoing
partnership/relationship but also on how local it is and how it
directly relates to the kids in the community. As a rule though
we are a doing club not a check writing club. We have offered
the High School Prom people a bus ride home from the after
prom party back to Lafayette. If they just want the check fine
but we thought this would be a nice idea to keep the kids
together and maybe minimize some late night mischief or at
least maximize the safety of the kids.
That brings us to another line from the Optimist Creed.
“Promise yourself to forget the mistakes of the past and press
on to the greater achievements of the future. “As an Optimist
I would have written the line “Learn from the mistakes of the
past and use this knowledge to press on to the greater
achievements of the future But I am not messing with the
Creed. Every Great Man or Woman has made mistakes. Bon
Jovi said the secret to success is to fall down 9 times but to
get up 10 times! I love the phrase...Press On! Its not sit back
and wait to see what happens ...Its not imagine that you have
no control over your life but Press On!...Lean In!
Take Charge! Make a Difference! Take Control ...Be
Positive...in fact Be Optimistic!

Southern Hills Preservation Corporation
C
hristmas Comes But Once a Year –
Or does it? This past Christmas parents across Central New York asked Santa’s elves to visit their children, inspect for good
behavior, and hand deliver a personalized letter from the Jolly Old Elf, himself. Visit they did -- delivering holiday magic, dreams
come true, and the spirit of giving.
Dispatched by the North Pole Inspection Company (northpolesyr.com),
these elves did more than create lasting childhood memories. They
delivered the ‘spirit of giving’ to southern Onondaga County when they
generously donated one-third of their proceeds to Southern Hills
Preservation Corporation. Southern Hills is a nonprofit agency that will use
this donation, throughout the year, to provide housing services to low and
moderate-income residents of Southern Onondaga County.
Since 1986, Southern Hills Preservation Corporation (SHPC) has been
assisting individuals and families fulfill their dream of having safe, decent,
and affordable housing. Located in LaFayette, SHPC serves residents living
in the towns of Otisco, Onondaga, Pompey, Spafford, LaFayette, Fabius,
Marcellus, Skaneateles, and Tully.
Southern Hills has funds available to help income eligible residents buy
their first home, or make much needed repairs to their existing home. The
agency can also assist with information and referrals to other programs.
More information is available at www.southernhillpc.org, or stop by the
office at 2383 US Route 11, where the spirit of giving is celebrated year
round.

LaFayette Rural Cemetery
Y
our volunteers at the Cemetery Board are still on the
job!
The Cemetery Board welcomes Esther Klaiber, our newest
member, who is filling the spot vacated when Dick Allen
resigned recently due to ill health. We thank him for his
many years of faithful service. Esther’s new colleagues on
the board are Lloyd Amidon, Ray Bishop (Treasurer), Bud
Fisher (Secretary), John Hughes, myself (Vice President),
Dick Naylor (President), Sumner Palmer, and Dick
Scammell. If you own a cemetery lot and think you might
be interested in sitting on the board, let a board member
know. Vacancies come up from time to time.
We would usually not be able to dig graves during the
winter months because of frozen ground, but thanks to
the mild winter we’ve had, there have been two burials in
the cemetery already this year. If the ground had been too
hard to dig, the caskets would have been stored in our
vault the building that is below the area where the
Memorial Day ceremonies take place—at no extra cost to
the families, until weather allowed for their burial. The
only time we charge for vault storage is when the remains
are going to be buried elsewhere than in our cemetery.
We still have cemetery lots for sale. Call me at 677-9363
for more information
about lot sales or
burial costs.
Everyone is welcome
to attend the
Cemetery Board’s
annual open
meeting, which will
be held at the
Session Room of
Columbian
Presbyterian Church
on Tuesday, May 17
at 7:00 pm.
Donations to the
cemetery are always
welcomed to help us
with the costs of
mowing and upkeep.
We also invite you to consider making bequests to the
cemetery association in your wills to help us to maintain it in a
condition that respects all of our deceased loved ones.

LaFayette Outdoors
We are saddened to announce the retirement of Rainer Brocke as contributor to
the LaFayette Outdoors Column. He has held the position for many years with
countless stories speaking of and capturing the beauty of our environment that we
are so lucky to have here in LaFayette.
Thanks to Greg Titus, our local town historian, for tracking down what we believe
to be his very first LaFayette Outdoors article printed in July of 1995.
As a dedication to him, we have reprinted that article on the following page. Enjoy one
last story from Rainer Brocke. Thank you Rainer for all you have done for the Town of
LaFayette.
Here’s to continued recovery from all of us and thanks again for all your wondrous stories.
My name is Craig
Giancola. My wife,
Gina and our three
girls moved to
LaFayette almost a
decade ago. The
only regret we have is that we
didn’t do it years sooner! We
absolutely love living here! I
have the honor of filling the
position that Rainer has held for
so many years. Rainer does
such a great job with the newsletter...so I have big shoes to fill!
But, I am excited to share my
stories and the local news of the
“LaFayette Outdoors” beginning
next edition.

From the Parks Department
T
hank you to the Highway Department for providing the Parks Department with a tractor to plow the recreation path this
past winter. Their efforts, and the cooperation of Mother Nature, allowed the path to be cleared and opened for use
many days, providing residents with additional opportunities to get outside to enjoy the parks for healthy activities.
Despite Mother Nature’s early spring attempts to keep winter weather around, the snow and
cold weather will eventually give way to warmer weather, which means the grass is going to
green up and start growing. When you use the parks, please be cautious when mowers or
other power equipment is being used while you are present.
The swings, and the volleyball and tennis nets, have been reinstalled, for the warm weather
months. New trash receptacles have been purchased and placed throughout the parks. Please
be “co-responsible” and help keep the parks clean by picking up any litter you may find while
using the parks and appropriately discarding it in the receptacles.
REMINDER: ALL dogs are REQUIRED to be on a leash at Stafford Park. Please clean up after your dog – waste bags and a
disposal receptacle is located in each section of the park.

The following piece about LaFayette’s Wildlife will introduce
this column. Through a gap in the May greenery, we secretly
watched in the predawn light as a pair of beavers rippled the
glassy waters of their pond. Suddenly, the whistle of wings
overhead caught our attention. Ever so gracefully, two wood
ducks tipped out of the sky, banked sharply and skated to a
stop beyond the beavers. The beavers didn’t seem to notice,
probably because the wood ducks had been frequent visitors
lately. Would they nest the old white pine snag on the far
shore? Up about 35 feet in the snag a pileated woodpecker
had hollowed out of a cavity just the right size for a wood duck
nest, or so we hoped! The wood ducks sat motionless and
alert in the water, so neat in their spring plumage.
grand forest of American beech, sugar maple, yellow birch,
white pine and other species. The floor boards of our old
farmhouse are made of American chestnut felled from that
virgin forest 150 years ago. Unfortunately, we’ve lost the
chestnut permanently to an imported disease, the Europena
chestnut blight.
The transition from open land to forest is dramatically
apparent when one compares today’s scenes with landscapes
shown in old photos, Such comparisons are readily made using
Roy Dodge’s excellent book: “Crossroads Town, A Photobiography of the Town of LaFayette.” (This book is available at
the LaFayette Public Library.) The forest wildlife we enjoy
today-species such as the white-tailed deer, turkey and ruffed
grouse are products of habitat succession over the last 100
years. However, this same change has also led to the decline
of open land dwellers such as the bluebird and ring-necked
pheasant.
There is another reason for LaFayette’s varied wildlife. On a
clear day, drive along Route 11 and park on the crest of the hill
just south of the High School. Look north and you will see the
plain beyond Syracuse. This plain was once the bed of mighty
Lake Iroquois, an enormous glacial lake that include Lake
Ontario. The current elevation at Syracuse, just north of
LaFayette Town is 450 feet.
Now look directly south. On the distant horizon, an angular
ridge named Morgan Hill is just visible. This ridge flanks a “U”
shaped valley—the glacial valley of Labrador Hollow. The ridge

ICHOR THERAPEUTICS
LaFayette biotech company started by former SUNY Upstate student lands $1.35 million, attracts international investors.
LaFayette, New York, March 2nd, 2016 -- Ichor Therapeutics, a local biotechnology company focusing on therapeutic
interventions for age-related disease, receives $1.35 million in new funding -- including $1 million from European investors -- and
begins a 4-fold expansion of research capabilities in LaFayette, NY to engage in FDA compliant pre-clinical research.
Ichor was founded in 2013 by CEO Kelsey Moody - originally from Beekmantown, NY - while he was a medical student at SUNY
Upstate Medical University. From its humble beginnings in the living room of Mr. Moody’s Tipperary Hill apartment, Ichor
relocated to its current LaFayette location in 2014. “The town of LaFayette has been incredibly supportive of the company, and is
a wonderful community in which to live and work.” said Moody of his decision to keep the business in LaFayette as it moves to a
larger facility.
Investor Roger Bagg, founder of UK biotech company BioSenex, Ltd. began as one of Ichor’s contract customers in 2014. “I have
invested in biotech companies in both the UK and the US. Between its internal ophthalmology and aging research programs, as
well as its contract research services, I believe Ichor is in a unique position to shake up this space,” said Bagg of his decision to
invest in Ichor. “My confidence in Ichor is born out of working closely with its CEO Kelsey Moody. His ability to grow Ichor from a
small set-up in his living room, to the current team and facility, has impressed me greatly.”
Moody received a BS from SUNY Plattsburgh and MBA from Concordia University. While an undergrad, Moody founded the SENS
Foundation Academic Initiative, an international student research and development program which emphasizes regenerative
medicine and biomedical gerontology. SENS Foundation Chief Science Officer Aubrey de Grey, who also serves as a scientific
advisor to Ichor, is not surprised by news of Ichor’s rapid growth. “Kelsey Moody built and led highly effective teams at SENS
Foundation, and I have had no doubt that he would be successful in establishing Ichor. His ability to deliver on even his most
aggressive plans is well-proven.”
After completing his undergraduate education, Moody moved to Silicon Valley where he worked as Chief Technology Officer at
ImmunePath, Inc., a start-up biotech company backed by Peter Thiel and Founder’s Fund. In 2012, he returned to the Syracuse
area to attend SUNY Upstate Medical University. As a medical student, Moody independently won a $540,000 research grant
from Life Extension Foundation, which he used to found Ichor Therapeutics. “It was actually easier and less expensive for me to
create a start-up company in my apartment than to operate through a university or existing company,” recalls Moody. “There is
a misconception out there that the barriers to entry for this sort of work are unsurmountable, but that is not the case. No one
believed that my living room was as well-equipped scientifically as any faculty lab at my medical school – except the investors
and clients who actually saw it.”
Ichor quickly caught the attention of several prominent research organizations in the United States and abroad. By the end of
Moody’s 2nd year of medical school, Ichor had raised over $1 million in grants and contracts, and expanded to its current
LaFayette location. To enable more time for research, Moody transferred from SUNY Upstate to an executive Ph.D. program
through the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, designed for working professionals. In the past year, the company
has continued to grow. Its many backers and supporters include the Methuselah Foundation, a major sponsor of Ichor’s oncology
program. “Mr. Moody and the scientists at Ichor are making a signal contribution to exploring and solving the degeneration of
aging,” stated Dave Gobel, CEO at Methuselah Foundation. “We frequently call on Ichor when a knotty problem needs to be
unraveled, or to verify critical findings from other investigators.”
To help balance the intense workflow of a start-up
biotechnology company, Ichor facilitates a casual work
environment. New employees receive challenges to earn
company paraphernalia, including t-shirts, personalized lab
coats, and ultimately NERF guns for use in company sponsored
activities. Unfortunately for Roger and Ichor’s other investors,
Moody insists that “T-shirts, personalized lab coats, and NERF
guns are earned at the company and cannot be bought.” Roger
noted that he plans on lobbying Ichor management in an
attempt to overturn this, “outdated and persnickety policy.”
