Van Buren oďŹƒcials have proposed a 7.8 percent decrease in town taxes. The 2011 proposed budget includes: a 2.6 percent decrease in the tax rate for all Van Buren residents; a 10.4 percent tax rate decrease for Van Buren residents outside the village of Baldwinsville limits; and a 10.5 percent tax rate decrease in the highway fund. Taxes on a $100,000 house within the village would be $154.22 (down $4.12) and $431.94 (down $36.69) on a $100,000 house outside the village. Town oďŹƒcials had to make cuts in several different areas in order to keep tax rates low. “Due to the economy and lack of

Lysander reduces St. Augustine’s welcomes new pastor spending By Erin Wisneski
ewisneski@cnylink.com
Public hearing for proposed budget to be held Thursday By Erin Wisneski ewisneski@cnylink.com
Lysander oďŹƒcials have cut overall spending by six percent in the proposed 2011 budget. The proposed tax rate for village residents is $.62 per $1,000 in home value (2010 rate was $.80/1000); the proposed tax rate for residents outside the village is $.71/1000 (2010 rate was $.88/1000); and the proposed highway tax rate is $.62/1000 (2010 rate was $.91/1000). The estimated town tax on a $100,000 home would be $132, which is $47 less than last year’s taxes, should the budget See Lysander, page 8
Father Tom Servatius is a funny, likeable guy with a progressive attitude. He is also the new pastor at St. Augustine’s parish. While his appointment to St. Augustine’s was his first encounter with Baldwinsville, he quickly grasped the character of his new congregation. “Parishioners here know that being Catholic is more than just showing up once a week,� Servatius said. “[They have] a long standing reputation for being active and vibrant with a concern for social justice as well as growing the faith.� After more than two years of sharing a pastor, St. Augustine’s parish welcomed Servatius as its own this August. “Father Tom coming here has really made this parish come alive again,� said parishioner Darlene St. John. “He’s empowered a lot of people here that have been dormant.� The parish had been linked with St. Mary’s in Baldwinsville since the Summer of 2008, which among other things meant the two parishes shared a priest. After the Syracuse Diocese reviewed the
linkage, it determined St. Mary’s should have its own pastor, and instead linked St. Augustine’s with the Office of Seminarian Formation, which keeps track of those studying for the priesthood. Servatius moved in Aug. 1 and went to work right away. For his opening homily, Servatius gave people homework. He asked parishioners to call friends and family and tell them that supper is on the table, it’s time to come home. “As a Eucharistic faith, that has a deeply significant sign,� he said. “We’re a people of word, but also of sacrament. Gather at the table, gather for prayer – the supper is the Eucharist. We’re all still invited to come to that table.� Originally from Utica, Servatius is a graduate of LeMoyne College, Syracuse University and St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Baltimore, Md. After spending nine years in the business world, followed by several years dedicated to social work, Servatius entered the seminary at age 37. While his fellow seminarians jokingly called him “grandpa� because of his age, Servatius had considered priesthood most of his life. See Father, page 8

How has chiropractic care improved the health of your family?
Our Families Speak...
Years ago, I had never given chiropractic care a great deal of thought because I never had much pain as an adult. However, I did have severe leg pain as a child but, at that time, it was called “growing pains”. This past year, I began having severe neck and shoulder pain and my fingers doubled up into a fist during the night. I had to pry my fingers open one by one when I woke up in the morning. I told Dr. Randy Boivin about my fingers and hands and he told me he would be able to help me with my problem. Lo and behold, he was right! My fingers are not doubled up when I wake up in the morning and my neck and shoulders are almost pain free. Thank you, Dr. Randy.

B’ville residents incorporate new theatre company
Village water rate update By Erin Wisneski ewisneski@cnylink.com
After a public hearing held Thursday Oct. 21, village officials increased water rates to keep the Baldwinsville Water Department from operating in the red. Rates were last adjusted in 2005. Customers within the village will see an increase of approximately $15 per quarter, while residents outside the village will see an increase of approximately $22 per quarter. A breakdown of fees shows village residents paying a $14 flat rate per billing period while users located outside the village will pay an $18 flat rate per period. This flat rate is used to keep the infrastructure maintained. Part of the reason residences outside the village pay a higher rate is due to equipment maintained by taxes, which village residents pay into. For usage, village residents will pay $1.10/cubic
foot and users outside the village will pay $1.20/cubic foot. Prior to the rate change, outside village residences paid an average $32/ per quarter bill. The new estimate for outside the village is $54/per quarter. Up until now, deficiencies in the water department budget were adjusted with monies from the public works fund balance, which is in place to cover the costs of any major work. The rate changes should replenish the fund balance by 2016, at which point it may need to be adjusted again. Public hearing A public hearing regarding a local law amending the Lysander town code adding a new Chapter 103 entitled Road Preservation and Safety will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Lysander Town Hall, 8220 Loop Road in Radisson.

S
usan Blumer of Radisson and Garrett Heater of Oswego, formerly of Baldwinsville, have created a new theatre company. The Covey Theatre Company recently received its certificate of incorporation as a non-profit, an exhausting paperwork process that took Blumer months to negotiate. “It is difficult setting up a non-profit without the aid of a lawyer,” explained Blumer, “but not impossible. It took about three months of constant work, but well worth the effort.” While Blumer delved into the world of tax ID numbers and phone calls to Albany, Heater was busy preparing the inaugural production of The Covey Theatre Company: an original play he wrote titled “Lizzie Borden Took an Axe.” The play traces the tumultuous events leading up to the gruesome 1892 double axe murder of Andrew and Abby Borden, Lizzie’s father and step-mother. Lizzie Borden was put on trial for the murders, but acquitted by an allmale jury who simply could not believe that a wealthy socialite could butcher her own parents in cold blood. “Since Lizzie has become such a dark, iconic curiosity in American folklore,” Heater explained, “it was fascinating to research the people involved, all of the strange events that happened before the murders, and re-evaluate this enigma from many angles.” Heater began writing the play on Aug. 3 of this year, not realizing that the murders occurred on Aug. 4, 118 years earlier. “That coincidence stunned me,” Heater said, “and I knew I had to see this play through, all the way to the stage.”
Former Baldwinsville resident Garrett Heater wrote the original production “Lizzie Borden Took An Axe” for the Covey Theatre Company formed by Garrett and Radisson resident Susan Blumer. “Lizzie Borden Took an Axe” is a world premiere that will take place at the Bevard Room in Syracuse’s John H. Mulroy Civic Center, at 8 p.m. Nov. 12, 13, 19 and 20. Call 420-3729 for tickets.

Opinion Editorial
Attend budget hearings
Officials in Lysander and Van Buren have presented budgets that will reduce the tax rates for residents of both towns. While it is always good news to hear taxes are being reduced, it is especially nice in the current economy and impressive that the towns were able to do so despite mandatory increases in retirement and insurance costs. However, cuts often come with the loss of services and sometimes jobs. While both towns have managed to phase out positions in the past to save money, Van Buren’s proposed 2011 budget scales one position back to part-time. Learn more about the specifics of the proposed budgets by attending this week’s public hearings. Van Buren will hold a presentation on the budget followed by a period for public comments at tonight’s meeting, held at 7:30 p.m. at the Van Buren Town Hall, corner of Ellsworth and Van Buren roads. Lysander will present its budget along with an opportunity for residents to make comments regarding the budget at the town’s 7 p.m. meeting tomorrow evening at the Lysander Town Hall, 8220 Loop Road in Radisson.

Use open enrollment to help meet financial goals November is a popular month for “open enrollment” — that time when you can choose from the options offered in your employer’s benefits package. By making the right moves in some key areas — such as your 401(k) and life insurance — you can help protect your family and boost your progress toward your longterm financial goals. Let’s consider your 401(k) first. If you haven’t taken part in your 401(k) plan, you need to review the benefits of this excellent retirementsavings vehicle. First, you contribute pretax dollars to a traditional 401(k), so the more you put in, the lower your adjusted gross income — and the lower your annual tax bill. Also, your 401(k) earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. Furthermore, your employer may offer a matching contribution, and if you’re not participating in your plan or not putting in enough to earn the match, you’re essentially leaving money “on the table.” If you’re not already investing in a 401(k), now is the time to get started. And if you’ve already been contributing to your 401(k), you may want to use the open enrollment period to increase your contributions or to rebalance your investment choices in response to changes in investment performance or in your goals or risk tolerance. Of course, depending on your plan, you may also be able to make changes
Kevin Wall Financial Focus to your 401(k) at other times in the year. During open enrollment, you’ll also want to look at your insurance choices. Your employer may offer a certain amount of life insurance, and possibly disability insurance, at no cost. Clearly, this coverage can be beneficial — but is it enough to meet your family’s needs? To answer this question, you’ll need to review at least three key areas of your family’s finances: • Debts: Try to calculate your overall debt load — mortgage, car payments, credit cards and so on. • Education: If you are planning to help your children pay for college, try to estimate these costs. Keep in mind the considerable differences in expenses between colleges: public versus private and in-state versus out-of-state. Also, remember that college costs have been rising faster than the overall cost of living. • Income replacement: Try to determine about how much of your income would need to be replaced for your family to maintain its cur-
rent lifestyle if something were to happen to you. Once you’ve made these types of calculations, you’ll be in a better position to know if the life and disability coverage offered by your employer is sufficient to meet your needs. You might be able to purchase additional insurance through your employer, but even this coverage may not be enough. That’s why you may want to work with a professional financial advisor — someone who can help you identify any gaps that may exist in your coverage and recommend any additional coverage to fill this void. You may also find other advantages to individually owned insurance, such as portability (taking your policy with you, no matter where you work) and affordability. You may find that some policies, particularly term life insurance, may be less costly than the supplemental insurance you could purchase from your employer. So review both your insurance situation and your 401(k) plan during open enrollment. It’s a great time to make those choices that can help you during all the seasons of your life.

Mahoney blocks budget changes, Republicans appalled We, the Republican Legislators, are angry and appalled. A battle ensued and the loser is you, the taxpayer. After weeks of debate, a budget has been adopted, but it is far from the budget that the Republican legislators worked thoroughly on for the past four weeks. Furthermore, the adopted budget is not in the best interests of the taxpayers of Onondaga County. After the Oct. 12 budget vote of 15-3, there was hope that this legislature was on its way to making drastic changes to County Executive Joanie Mahoney’s proposed $1.18 billion budget. The legislature had removed $45 million off your property taxes. Then the vetoes started. Eleven vetoes totaling over $23 million dollars. It was well known from the very beginning that each veto was putting money back into the budget thereby increasing property taxes. The Republican legislators diligently reviewed each account and made practical decisions as far as revenue projections and cost cutting measures. The adopted budget represented fair and conservative projections for sales tax revenues, as well as sustainable cuts. The most severe veto was the objection to the use of funds
from the county’s savings account. The Republican legislators recommended the use of only $12 million of funds from the county’s savings to offset property taxes. The county’s fund balances total over $120,000,000 and are earning little to no interest. Much to our caucus’ dismay, County Executive Mahoney and the Democrat caucus were not willing to use any funds from the county’s savings account. Ironically, during the 2010 budget process, Democrats fought to use more fund balance monies, arguing that we were saving too much and that the excess money should be “returned to the taxpayers.” In 2010, the legislature dedicated almost $8,000,000 from the county’s savings account and those funds have more than replenished themselves over the last year. By the County Executive’s and Democrat caucus’ refusal to use funds from these accounts, the taxpayers will now suffer double and, in one case, triple-digit increases in property taxes. The fund balance was established specifically to avoid spikes in property taxes as a direct result of sudden increases in costs. Former County Executive Nick Pirro agreed that the proposed use of fund balances by the Republican legislators was advisable and in accordance with
the stated purpose for which these funds were accumulated. To override the vetoes, we needed 13 votes or a two-thirds majority of the legislature. Unfortunately, the Republican caucus has only 12 members. The Republican legislators remained united, and voted unanimously to override all but one of the vetoes. As a direct result of not being able to override the majority of the vetoes, over $18,000,000 will now be added back to the tax levy thereby increasing your property taxes. Over the next year, the Republican legislators will continue to be a steward of taxpayer funds. It is with great sorrow that we are forced to deliver this year’s budget with the increases it contains; especially without any use of the $120,000,000 in funds that have been previously taxed for.

Dairy calf visits Reynolds Marching Bees compete at Dome KatRINa KOERtING
Baldwinsville Marching Bees Drum Majors Morgan Noune, left, and Daniel Mullarney salute the crowd during Sunday’s New York State Field Band Championship held at the Syracuse University Carrier Dome. By Katrina Koerting The Baldwinsville “Marching Bees” placed fifth in their class on Sunday Oct. 31 at the New York State Field Band Championship. The 126-member marching band’s performance of their “Star Trek” show earned them a score of 88.10. This is 2.10 points less than Brentwood, the first place band in their class, and 6.2 more than Huntington, the last place band in the class. There were six bands in the Large School 2 Class. This was the 36th year the Marching Bees performed at the New York State Field Band Championship, which is held at Syracuse University in the Carrier Dome. They have won several times, including first place last year. The music for the “Star Trek” show was arranged by Nick Baratta, based on the music from the movie and TV show, which was composed by Michael Giacchino and Alexander Courage, respectfully. Some of the songs in the performance were “Star Trek,” “Enterprising Young Men” and “Labor of Love.” The Baldwinsville Central School Marching Bees are directed by Casey Vanderstouw, with student drum majors, Daniel Mullarney and Morgan Noune.

District partners with ADADC to promote healthy foods, exercise By Kelly Cary, BCSD To emphasize the important role dairy products play in a balanced diet, the Baldwinsville Central School District recently partnered with the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, Inc. (ADADC) and hosted a special visitor at Reynolds Elementary – a dairy calf. The one-month-old calf was accompanied by its owner, Onondaga County Dairy Princess Kaitlyn Guptill. It’s all part of the Baldwinsville
Central School District’s efforts to promote wellness, physical activity and healthy foods. As students were petting the calf, Guptill answered their questions about how milk is produced and she described her experiences growing up on a dairy farm. She also spoke about the importance of drinking milk and consuming dairy products every day as part of a nutritious diet. During lunch periods, students posed with milk mustaches, provided

Reynolds Elementary is participating in this program. As a reminder to get active and eat right, students and staff members have been wearing football jerseys every Friday since the beginning of the school year, and they play football at recess.

Milestones
Van Buren significant building, the codes office clerk position has been scaled back to part-time,” said Supervisor Claude Sykes, adding, “It is never pleasant to reduce job position hours and displace workers.” With the exception of a replacement vehicle for the codes department, which is covered by a reserve fund, there are also no new equipment purchases in the proposed budget. In addition to contractual salary increases and a rise in utility costs, major factors affecting this year’s budget included a 55-percent increase in retirement costs, as well as an increase in insurance costs ranging from 8 to 36 percent, depending on the carrier and coverage. Despite these increases in costs, department heads and cuts made in previous years helped cut overall expenses. “[Department heads] were asked to submit responsible budgets with no new equipment and were asked to hold the line as best they could,” Sykes said. “Also, many of the changes we have implemented for three years now are beginning to bear the savings and are reflected with this year’s 7-percent rate reduction.” The town will hold a public hearing at 7:30 p.m. this evening at the Van Buren Town Hall, corner of Ellsworth and Van Buren roads. The town comptroller will give a budget presentation, after which, residents will be able to comment on the proposed budget.

Van Buren vs. Onondaga County
Van Buren officials have been criticized for their decision to take nearly $1 million in sales tax dollars next year in cash rather than using it to reduce residents’ county property tax levy, which will result in a significant increase in residents’ county tax bills – in the triple digits for many property owners. Despite the town’s ability to cut expenses in order to reduce town taxes for residents, the county portion of the tax bill counters town officials’ efforts. When asked what his thoughts were on this issue, Supervisor Claude Sykes gave the following response: “The county taxes have been a contentious issue this year in light of the county changing the sales tax formula. The county tax line is higher in Van Buren since the town board made the decision to take the sales tax money in cash to continue to fund drainage projects in the town. We felt it made more sense to take the sales tax money rather than borrowing money and paying the interest.” “In the past, the town had the option of cash or a credit against our constituent’s county property tax line. With the change in the formula by the county, the option of a credit was no longer available to the town. The county now has complete say if there will be a credit or not. As it worked out, there was not much of a credit with only $3.1 million being applied against the county tax levy, the balance of the sales tax money going to balance the county budget.” “The town was very transparent that our taking the county sales tax money in cash would increase the county tax line. It is unfortunate that county officials are not as forthcoming to claim their +/-50% portion of the overall increase, trying to make people believe it is all the town’s fault. It appears that if you do not subscribe to the theory that bigger government is better you are wrong.” “Our town board believes that we as the locally elected officials know how to best apply the tax monies for the benefit of the people of Van Buren.” “Consolidation is the buzz word at the county level. Our town has streamlined town operations to the point where this year we will realize a 7 percent reduction in rates, without major consolidation. Are we opposed to consolidation? No. But each case has to be weighed on its own merits.” “I was out of town last week and did not hear the Jim Reith show during which the county executive said Van Buren needs to come into the 21st century. I would submit that the county is not the end all of governments and that perhaps they should look at some of the innovative things some town governments are doing county-wide to streamline government. Rather than county leaders bashing the town, their efforts would be better spent trying to affect change in Albany on state mandated issues.”

From page1 tax revenue and expenditures, the overall spending was cut approximately 6 percent,” Rahrle said. “The overall levy was reduced by 26 percent by using sales tax revenue to eliminate debt, procure needed equipment and fund townwide road construction projects.”
Rahrle said a similar plan is being developed for 2012 and 2013 to use the remaining sales tax revenue. A public hearing regarding the proposed budget will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday Nov. 4 at the Lysander Town Hall, 8220 Loop Road in Radisson.

Kiff powers Bees into AA football finals By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@cnylink.com
Back in September, senior Parker Kiff, who had hoped to be the featured running back on the Baldwinsville football team, left the squad when he found out that sophomore Tyler Rouse would get most of the carries. “I was just hot-headed,” Kiff said of his abrupt departure. Within a few days, Kiff was back on the team - and when Rouse went down with an injury early in last Saturday night’s Section III Class AA semifinal against FayettevilleManlius at Cicero-North Syracuse’s Bragman Stadium, Kiff took charge. The quick, powerful runs of Kiff and his backfield mates, combined with the superb blocking offered once more by B’ville’s offensive line, led to a 21-14 victory over the previously unbeaten Hornets, the second time in as many years that the Bees (8-1) have knocked the Hornets out of the postseason. All told, Kiff had 155 yards on 31 carries, with 20 of those carries coming in the second half as the Bees broke out of a 7-7 tie with a pair of scores, then held off a fierce F-M rally to advance to a sectional finals rematch against Christian Brothers Academy. Head coach Carl Sanfilippo praised his team’s character, saying his players refused to panic when Rouse went to the sidelines at the end of the first quarter, not to return. At the time, B’ville trailed 7-0, its ground game stifled even with Rouse in the lineup as it had not recorded a first down. F-M had gone ahead thanks to a 58-yard pass from John Wittig to Austin Perez that set up Wittig’s own five-yard touchdown run late in the opening period. Not until the middle of the second quarter did B’ville start to move the ball with regularity. An 18-yard pass from Casey Colligan to Carter Twombly keyed a 50yard march where Kiff and Ben Paprocki did most of the running. Kiff scored on an eight-yard run, and Mark Stanard’s extra point made it 7-7, where it stood until halftime. It wasn’t until the second half, though, that the real power surge began. As so
many other times this season, the front line of Nick Robinson, Matt Moreland, Jake Margrey, Ryland Jennings and Joe Tanguay, combined with tight ends Twombly and Stanard, plus fullbacks Steve Mitchell and Jim Lang, started to dominate the line of scrimmage, pushing aside a tough F-M front seven. Paprocki ignited the third-quarter push with a 42-yard punt return to the F-M 23, setting up a short drive that consisted of three plays, all runs by Kiff. He went three yards, then 10 yards, and finally bulldozed his way into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown, his second score of the night. Later in the period, B’ville went 68 yards, with Kiff mustering the same kind of power runs that Rouse had made routine for much of the season. He had five carries on the drive, after which Paprocki took it to the goal line, from where Colligan sneaked in to make it 21-7. Still, F-M would not go away. On fourth-down-and-10 on the first play of the fourth quarter, Wittig, from the 50, threw deep down the left side and found Perez, who caught it at the 10 and scored. Ari Waffle’s PAT moved the Hornets within a touchdown. With Kiff continuing to churn out big gains, B’ville used two long drives to eat up most of the fourth-quarter clock. Yet it still could not get one last first down to end matters, setting up a nervous finish. From his own 32, with just 31 seconds left and no time-outs, Wittig had a short scramble, then threw a pair of first-down passes to Waffle before spiking the ball. FM had one more chance from the 32 on the game’s last play, but Wittig’s pass was short - and Eric Anthony picked it off to clinch B’ville’s victory. And it sets up next Sunday’s Class AA final in the Carrier Dome at 2 p.m. against CBA (9-0), whom B’ville defeated 30-12 for the sectional title in that same spot a year ago. Of course, the Brothers handed the Bees its only defeat this season, a now-infamous 14-10 game played Oct. 15 in treacherous, muddy conditions at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium. CBA beat West Genesee (55-6) and Utica Proctor (27-13) in this year’s playoffs to get to the Dome.
Thompson streaks to victory in CNYCL meet By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@cnylink.com
Once sidelined by a broken foot, Shaun Thompson has healed up quite nicely – as the rest of the CNY Counties League field found out Saturday at Jamesville Beach Park. Thompson, a senior, went right to the top of the standings with his fine effort at the league meet and helped the Bees finish second, with 60 points, behind defending state champion FayettevilleManlius, who won with 27 points. On the rugged 3.1-mile
Jamesville Beach course, Thompson steadily pulled away from his main challenger, Cicero-North Syracuse’s Chris Buchanan. With a time of 15 minutes, 37.4 seconds, Thompson beat Buchanan by 8.2 seconds. F-M won by occupying half of the top 18 spots in the final order. But the Bees fended off CNS for the runner-up spot by having sophomore Alec Peinkofer work his way to eighth place in 16:35.7, well clear of the Northstars’ second runner, Anthony Lupia, who was 14th. Then Andy Fleming, in
15th place (17:05.2), and Josh Perez, who was 16th in 17:07.8, both beat the third and fourth CNS finishers to secure the runner-up spot. Ethan Pacheck closed out the scoring as he ran to 24th place in 17:26.4, with Matt Pond 38th (18:09.5) and Ronnie May 47th in 18:24.1. Meanwhile, in the girls CNYCL meet at Jamesville Beach, B’ville managed a fourth-place finish, earning 110 points as F-M, the nation’s top-ranked team, dominated once more, sweeping the top four positions.

clean this time. “We just have to be ourselves, and not be fancy,” he said.
B’ville swimmers beaten by West Genesee continued as she landed in 12th place with a time of 19:52.7. She was the youngest runner in the field. Another young runner, freshman Nicole Lyons, gained 23rd place in 20:55.6, while sophomore Julia Johnson got 28th place in 21:18.9. Mallory Warner was 37th (21:45.9) as Sydney Slavik worked her way to 40th place in 22:02.6. B’ville’s runners now head to Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School for this Saturday’s Section III Class AA championships. The girls race is at 11 a.m., while the boys head off at 12:30.

When its trip through the CNY Counties League was complete, the Baldwinsville girls swim team stood at 3-4. The Bees’ attempt at gaining a winning league mark ran into turbulence in last Wednesday’s regular-season finale at West Genesee. The Wildcats, who finished first in the league, moved to 7-0 by beating B’ville 96-81. And this came despite some early success in the Bees’ races. Kaitlyn Martin tore through the 200 freestyle in a winning time of 2:07.80, while Margot Cour-
tois stepped up and claimed the 100 butterfly in 1:07.16. Later in the meet, Samanda Sidorakis won the 100 backstroke (1:07.91) and Charis Parker claimed the 100 breaststroke in 1:12.80. Martin, Courtois, Elena Margrey and Amy Sidorakis needed 4:06.41 to win the 400 freestyle relay. WG prevailed by taking two of the three relays and seeing two of its swimmers earn a pair of titles. B’ville will now get set for this week’s Section III championships, which run Wednesday through Saturday at Nottingham High School.

B’ville soccer teams roar into sectional semis Neither of the Baldwinsville soccer teams will feel satisfied unless they win their respective Section III Class AA championships. The first steps to such a sweep were taken last Friday night. In the case of the girls Bees, it involved atoning for 2009’s shocking exit in the AA quarterfinals at the expense of Auburn, which it did by blitzing no. 9 seed Oswego right from the opening whistle and not stopping until it had registered a 5-0 shutout of the Buccaneers. Meanwhile, the B’ville boys team, beginning its pursuit of a fourth consecutive sectional title as a no. 2 seed, surged in the middle of its AA quarterfinal against no. 7 seed Liverpool and
breezed past the Warriors 4-0. Both games were played on the new turf field at Fulton, a move made by B’ville officials when they decided that the grass at PelcherArcaro Stadium had not sufficiently recovered from the beating it took during the football game against CBA two weeks ago. Even in a different venue, though, absolutely nothing was going to keep the B’ville girls team from exorcising those year-old ghosts. Now, just as in ‘09, the Bees were a no. 1 seed - and though Oswego prevented an Auburn rematch by beating the Maroons 2-1 in the opening round earlier this week, the Bucs would face the same kind of lethal payback. It took less than 90 seconds for B’ville to take a
1-0 lead as Lily VanDevalk scored. Then Jackie Firenze converted off a feed from Emma Firenze to make it 20, and Emma added her own goal to make it 3-0, all in the first 20 minutes of play. And it didn’t stop there, either, as Emma Firenze returned to post a second goal in the 28th minute to extend the margin to 4-0, and four minutes later Jessica Elliott joined in by converting Katie Sullivan’s pass into the fifth goal of the night. With a big lead established, the Bees spent the rest of the game protecting its shutout and, in the latter stages, making lots of substitutions to make sure that the entire roster avoided injury - which it did. Once that work was done, it was the B’ville boys team’s turn to hit the Fulton turf
against Liverpool, a team it beat 2-0 just 13 days earlier on the Pelcher-Arcaro quagmire, Ben Ramin picking up both goals in that earlier meeting. Despite the Warriors’ late-season improvement, it would find itself in a defensive mode against B’ville from the start. The only difference from the girls game was that Liverpool was able to keep the Bees off the board early, making the partisans in red worry. But in the 26th minute, B’ville seized a 1-0 lead when, on a free kick, Mike Guardino took the rebound from Liverpool’s wall and fed it right back to the middle. When Warriors goalie Joe Gilbert could not handle the ball, Jon Price swooped in to put home the rebound.

Virginia Kamide posted the top all-around score as the Baldwinsville girls gymnastics team held off Central Square 119-112.45 last Tuesday night. Kamide’s total of 31.05 points included a victory
in the balance beam, where she had a 7.9 routine, and a first-place tie with the Red Hawks’ Bethany Cripps on the uneven bars, each of them posting 7.2. Lauren Furcinito finished with 30.05 points, just one point behind Kamide, and posted an 8.2 on the floor
exercise, just behind Central Square teammates Allyson Thompson (8.4) and Elena Araya (8.3). Furcinito also had a 6.4 on uneven bars. Lauren Fisher, who had 29.75 all-around points, posted an 8.2 on the vault and 6.7 on uneven bars, while Casey Devlin got 7.4
on the beam. From there, B’ville went to the Section III championships and finished fourth in the large-school category with 134.43 points. Jamesville-DeWitt/F-M (175.45 points) edged Whitesboro (172.18 points) for the top spot.

two games. Stefan Merchant would convert in the 51st minute on a hard shot from the point to wrap things up. In the Class AA semifinals, B’ville’s girls would go first, playing no. 4 seed Liverpool Tuesday night at West Genesee High School. The Bees won a pair of 2-1 decisions in the regular season as the winner gets Fayetteville-Manlius or Cicero-North Syracuse in the finals. B’ville’s boys head Wednesday to Liverpool, going up against no. 3 seed Cicero-North Syracuse in what promises to be a fierce, physical battle (the Bees won 1-0 at Gillette Field in their only regular-season encounter on Sept. 20). The winner gets F-M or West Genesee in the title game.
B’ville volleyball sails into semifinals
B’ville gymnasts beat Central Square By Phil Blackwell
It looked like Liverpool would maintain that onegoal deficit through the rest of the half, and a series of sporadic Warrior attacks signaled to B’ville that it could not relax, which may have led to the game’s pivotal moment. As the first-half clock wound down, B’ville again made a push. From the left side, Jack Jeffery flashed open and passed to the middle - where Ramin smacked a touch shot between his legs past Gilbert into the net just 3.6 seconds before the horn sounded. Suddenly ahead 2-0, B’ville carried that good feeling into the second half as, 1:33 into that frame, Ramin pounced on a loose ball in front of the net and easily converted his fourth goal against Liverpool in

Make that 16 straight wins – and 48 consecutive games – for the Baldwinsville girls volleyball team as it inches closer to yet another Section III Class AA title. In Thursday night’s opening round of the AA playoffs,
the Bees toyed with no. 8 seed Utica Proctor, earning a 259, 25-13, 25-17 sweep of the Raiders. Brianna Stewart finished with 27 assists and three digs. Sarah Klaben served up six kills, adding four kills and three digs. For the full story, visit baldwinsvillemessenger. com.

What can we expect this
flu season?
CDC answers question about what’s likely ahead
A
“While not certain,
ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu seasons are unpredictable in a number of ways. The timing, severity, and length of the epidemic depends on many factors, including what influenza viruses are spreading and whether they match the viruses in the vaccine. Last flu season saw the emergence of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, also known as the “swine flu.” This virus caused the first influenza pandemic in more than 40 years. While not certain, it is likely that 2009 H1N1 viruses will continue to spread along with seasonal viruses in the U.S.during the 20102011 flu season.
it is likely that 2009 H1N1 viruses will continue to spread... during the 2010-2011 flu season.”
Will new strains of flu circulate this season?
Flu viruses are constantly changing so it’s not unusual for new flu virus strains to appear each year.
When will flu activity begin and when will it peak?
The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February. However, seasonal flu activity can occur as late as May.
What should I do to prepare for this flu season?
CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. While there are many different flu viruses, the flu vaccine is designed to protect against the three main flu strains that research indicates will cause the most illness during the flu season. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: an H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season. Getting the flu vaccine soon after it becomes available each year is always a good idea, and the protection you get from vaccination will last throughout the flu season.
-cdc.gov
People at High Risk for developing flurelated complications
Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old Adults 65 and older Pregnant women Last flu season, American Indians and Alaskan Natives seemed to be at higher risk of flu complications People with medical conditions including asthma, neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, chronic lung disease, heart disease and blood, kidney, liver, endocrine or metabolic disorders. People with weakened immune systems People younger than 19 who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy Those who are morbidly obese
Source: cdc.gov
How effective is the flu vaccine?
The effectiveness of the vaccine can vary and depends in part on the match between the viruses in the vaccine and flu viruses that are circulating in the community. It’s not possible to predict with certainty which flu viruses will predominate during a given season. Experts must pick which viruses to include in the vaccine many months in advance in order for vaccine to be produced and delivered on time. Because of these factors, there is always the possibility of a less than optimal match between circulating viruses and the viruses in the vaccine.
Can the vaccine provide protection even if it is not a “good” match?
Yes, antibodies made in response to vaccination with one strain of flu viruses can provide protection against different, but related strains.
What is the CDC doing to monitor effectiveness for 2010-2011?
The CDC carries out and collaborates with other partners within and outside CDC to assess the effectiveness of flu vaccines. During the 2010-2011 season, CDC is planning multiple studies on the effectiveness of influenza vaccine. These studies will measure vaccine effectiveness in preventing laboratory confirmed influenza in older people and in children.
What actions can I take to protect myself and my family against the flu this season?
The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. In addition, you can take everyday preventative steps like staying away from sick people and washing your hands to reduce the spread of germs. If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading influenza to others. Source: cdc.gov
Seven steps you can take to help prevent seasonal flu
1. Get your flu vaccination.
The best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year.
2. Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
3. Stay home when you are sick.
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
4. Cover your mouth and nose.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
5. Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
7. Practice other good health habits.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

Leave a Legacy: You can make a difference in the lives that follow Over 80 non-profits in the Central New York Area, from Auburn to Utica, have banded together to share resources and spread the word about leaving a legacy. “You do not have to be a millionaire to make a difference in someone’s life,” explains Beth Lynn Hoey, director of development for Francis House and steering committee member for Leave a Legacy of CNY. “There have been so many people just like you and me who have saved lives and impacted lives by leaving a bequest or planned gift to charity.” Leave a Legacy is a campaign conducted by the Na-
tional Committee on Planned Giving to inspire people to make charitable bequests. Bequests are just one type of “planned gift” – a gift that will be distributed sometime in the future – to a charity that is meaningful to you. Through Leave a Legacy, people who have made charitable bequests and other types of planned gifts share their experiences in the hope of encouraging others to give. Leave a Legacy is a broadbased community campaign that involves all types of nonprofit groups, including social service and arts organizations, hospitals and educational in07995

Francis House provides a home and an extended family to people with terminal illnesses. They have received a bequest from a friend of past resident. The gift was used to help pay for the cost of care for residents in their final days. stitutions. The program is con- estate planning. These partners ducted by professionals who help promote the message that assist donors with charitable people from all walks of life
– covering a wide range of ages and income levels – have the ability to “make a difference in the lives that follow” by leaving a charitable legacy. Leave a Legacy does not solicit gifts for any particular organization. Instead, the advertisements encourage individuals to support their favorite charity or charities. Hoey recalls the story of one man who had a lifelong friend living at Francis House, a home for people with terminal illnesses, in Syracuse. He visited with his friend every day, and eventually got to know the residents and volunteers on a personal level. He was so moved
by the organization, the people involved, and how they cared for his friend, that he decided to make a gift to Francis House. He donated a collection of over 400 videos for the residents to enjoy. When he died, he left a bequest in his will to Francis House. His gift was used to pay for the cost of care for several residents at Francis House. Says Hoey, “he supported us when he was alive and then left us a legacy of his love by truly ‘making a difference in the lives that followed him.’” “Now more than ever, nonprofits have tightened their budgets,” explains Hoey. “It is See Legacy on page 4

CANCER BEWARE “I had cancer. Cancer never had me.” Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.

Yair Dotan with his wife and the HOA research family.
HOA research around the world Hematology Oncology Associates (HOA) offers our patients a wide variety of treatments. These range from standard of care treatments, which have been proven effective, to a variety of clinical trials in which investigational medications are given with or compared to a standard of care to aid in the discovery of future cancer therapies. Currently, we are accruing patients to over 80 different studies primarily through research administered by the National Cancer Institute. For over 24 years, HOA has been the recipient of a grant called the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) that aims to provide cutting edge research opportunities to communities throughout the nation. To compliment what is available through CCOP, we also participate in a few studies with pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we have authored and initiated several studies ourselves. Our participation and initiative in oncology research has garnered national attention and several awards for excellence. To our surprise, word of our outstanding research program has recently reached around the globe. Yair Dotan is much like any of our other patients who participate in research. He comes in for doctor’s appointments, meets with his research team, and receives an experimental drug for prostate cancer. However, unlike many of our patients, Dotan travels from Tel-Aviv, Israel, to our office in East Syracuse to participate in a trail sponsored by Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. called COU-AA-302. After trying conventional treatments in Israel without success, Dotan decided to actively help his doctors find another treatment for his progressive disease. It was through the website, clinicaltrials. gov, that he discovered the Cougar study, as well as facilities that were participating in this research. Through the website, he was able to contact the director of the study who suggested several clinics where this research was being conducted. Dotan’s first choice was to go to an oncology center at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. He was also considering hematology/ oncology centers in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as Syracuse. Unfortunately, he discovered there would be a significant delay in meeting with doctors and researchers at UCLA. This wait meant a delay in treatment that Dolan felt was unacceptable. After several emails and lengthy phone conversations across the ocean with Colleen Duchano, our research RN, Dotan chose our very own Hematology Oncology Associates of Central New York. This was an easy choice as Dotan was able to meet with Dr. Gullo and begin the process of study treatment within one week of his initial contact with HOA. As an international patient who is thrilled with his care here at HOA, Dotan has some advice to share with all of us: “Be happy and optimistic,� and always “be a part of your own care.� Dotan shares that he is not frightened by his disease—rather he makes the most out of every day and takes it all in stride. He feels optimistic, fortunate and grateful as he is love and supported by his devoted wife, family and friends. He considers HOA a significant part of his life now and states we will forever have a place in his heart. Likewise, this courageous, gracious man and his family have touched us as we engage in his fight against cancer with and for him.

Thanks to Dr. Chun, patients and their families will have a new chapel funded with a gift in her estate plan.

If two sides square off in a contest, is it possible for both of them to win? Maybe not - but there’s no question that the Baldwinsville and Cicero-North Syracuse boys volleyball teams both took something positive and valuable out of Monday night’s classic fivegame battle at Baker High School. The Northstars felt good because it won the match, even if it didn’t go in front for good until late in the final game. And the Bees, defending Section III Class AA champions, could take heart in the fact that, down 2-1 in games, it pushed CNS, this year’s leader in the CNY Counties League, to the limit - something it didn’t do the last time the two sides met on Sept. 29. In that earlier match at CNS, B’ville won the first game, only to see the Northstars take over and win the next three to keep itself. Now came the rematch, on the Bees’ Senior Night, where nine departing players - Dan Dubiel, Jake Toscano, Kyle Lattanzio, Zach Racha, Matt McKee, Robbie Sharfstein, Jarret Reaume, Aaron Stolicker and Chris Thayer - were honored. Once the ceremonies were done, B’ville took charge in the opening game, leading by as much as eight points before cruis-
ing to a 25-20 victory. CNS absorbed this and, trailing 9-6 in the second game, it reeled off eight straight points on Billy Werksman’s serve. It amounted to an 111 run as the Northstars, by a 25-17 margin, evened the match at one game apiece. As always in an even match, the third game proved pivotal. B’ville appeared in command as it bolted out to a 17-9 lead. But CNS, having used both of its time-outs, climbed all the way back, tied it at 20-20, then inched in front late in the game and held on for a stunning 25-23 win to take a 2-1 lead in games. Instead of folding, though, B’ville roared right back and dominated most of the fourth game, building a double-digit advantage that stretched to 23-13 before another late comeback attempt by CNS cut the margin to 23-18. Unfazed, the Bees got the last two points, prevailed 25-18, and sent the match to the limit. After all these momentum shifts, it was the fifth game that proved the closest. Every CNS thrust was met by a B’ville answer, and neither side led by two points for much of that game as, by the time it was 17-17, they had shared 10 ties. Loud cheering sections for both teams increased their volume as the drama built. Then CNS got three consecutive points to move
ahead for good. Though the Bees never stopped battling for points, Werksman’s spike on a second attempt at match point (the first was waved off) gave CNS the 25-21 victory. Dubiel, with 13 kills, led a balanced front line where Thayer contributed 11 kills and Lattanzio produced 10 kills. Racha had six kills and five blocks, with Reaume getting three kills and three blocks. Ryan Shelton, the team’s main setter, piled up 40 assists, plus four kills, three blocks and three digs, as McKee, the Bees’ libero, had 10 digs. Jim Coleman finished with 48 assists for the winning side. Stepping up in a big way on the front line, Ethan Irish put up 24 kills, while Werksman stepped up his play and got 12 kills as Tyler A. Smith, despite feeling ill, still finished with five kills. Colin Crooks had four kills and three block, with Tyler D. Smith (three kills) and Jeff Holmes (two kills) also making contributions. There’s one more chance for B’ville and CNS to meet - on Nov. 10, in the Section III Class AA championship. Barring a major upset in either of Wednesday’s semifinals, where B’ville faces Central Square and CNS takes on Oswego, the Bees and Northstars are not done with each other yet.
