McGraw was unable to offer the course because of scheduling constraints, said Mary Curcio, the superintendent for the McGraw Central School District.

A mother of a senior in the school approached Curcio about the lack of math classes for advanced math students. As a previous math teacher, Curcio said she understood the importance of having math all four years. “That’s what should happen,� she said. “Parents should be advocating for their children and superintendents should be advocating for their students.�

Lysander officials postponed voting on the proposed 2011 budget to allow residents more time to review budget documents.

Many residents spoke during the public hearing, held last night, addressing issues such as increasing health insurance costs, wage increases and whether the parks department warranted all its staff. Lysander resident Don Cole kicked off public comments by asking the board why the budget wasn’t available to residents until two days before the public hearing. “I don’t think you’re doing your jobs,� Cole said, adding the town board should adjourn the public hearing for two weeks, then reopen it.

Cole also questioned the board’s decision to take $1.26 million in sales tax revenue to offset taxes. He said county taxes for Lysander residents is expected to increase approximately $2/$1,000 in property value and if Lysander had chosen not to take the sales tax revenue appropriations, the county tax increase would have decreased by $.83/$1,000.

Considering these calculations, he asked the board why the Lysander tax rate only decreased by $.47/$1,000 and where did the remaining

Learning from a distance Baker HS offers calculus class to students in McGraw

By Katrina Koerting Pam Cassidy, a math teacher at Baker High School, writes equations on the board. Her class copies them down as a whole, but not all of her students are sitting in front of her, or even in Baldwinsville.

Four of her students are sitting 50 miles away in a distance learning classroom in McGraw, video conferencing into Cassidy’s class.

Balwinsville is broadcasting a college level calculus course to four students in McGraw who would otherwise not have been able to take the class. The McGraw students use cameras to see the class at Baker and Cassidy’s computer screen as she writes. They fax their homework to Cassidy in the morning. They are still able

to ask questions and talk to Cassidy, like the students in Baldwinsville. “The important thing is we have four students that might not have had the chance to take calculus and get college credit,� Cassidy said. “In the long run that’s what we do it for. We do it for the students.�

Boards in brief

VB approves 2011 budget

By Bruce Haney

By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com

Van Buren officials approved the 2011 proposed budget, which decreases taxes by 7.8 percent.

Officials held a budget presentation Nov. 3, followed by a public hearing at which no residents spoke either in favor or against the proposed budget.

The 2011 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.

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.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.

According to Supervisor Claude Sykes, cuts made in previous years helped cut overall expenses, as did responsible budgets submitted by department heads.

Public hearings The town of Van Buren will hold four public hearings Tuesday Nov. 16 at the town hall, corner of Ellsworth and Van Buren roads. At 7:32 p.m., a hearing regarding dog licensing will be held. At 7:35 p.m., a hearing regarding block parties within the town will be held. At 7:37 p.m., a hearing regarding the creation of a three-way stop at the intersection of Southgate Road, Lanyard Lane and Silversides Way in Harbor Heights will be held. At 7:40 p.m., a hearing regarding the extension of Village Green Sewer District for Tessy Plastics will be held.

Grace Episcopal Church in Baldwinsville was incorporated on July 27, 1835 following two years of people gathering together in homes and meeting halls to worship.

The first church building was completed in 1860 on Elizabeth Street. A New York State Historical marker reminds us that in 1886 the church was the first church to be lit by electricity. That was made possible by running a line from the electrified Morris Machine Works to the church.

The factory was located on Genesee Street (now the Kinney Drugs plaza).

The Morris family also donated all of the church’s pipe organs. That church building served its members for 100 years until it was badly damaged by an arson’s action in 1960. The church’s parish hall (the former Knights of Columbus Hall) still exists on the site.

The church called its first full time rector, William Beauchamp, in 1865.

The Reverend Beauchamp was also a well-known local historian for whom the Beauchamp Historical Society is named. There have been a total of 15 rectors serving Grace Church and many others who have served at its altar.

The current Grace Church edifice was dedicated in 1962 with additions made to it including: the Parish Center (1974), the Memorial Garden (1985), and the Welcoming area, meeting rooms, nursery and elevator (2002). Several artifacts from the original church building are incorporated into the current building including: the bell, pulpit, lectern, baptismal font, altar and several accessories for the altar.

Although July 27 is the actual anniversary day, Grace Members and

Grace Episcopal Church on Elizabeth Street 1860-1960 (top) and the new building on Oswego Road (above). friends will gather Sunday Nov. 21 for a special day of activities to celebrate its 175th anniversary. November is a significant month for Grace since both edifices were dedicated in that month, and the first church edifice burned in that month as well.

The day will begin with the usual 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services being combined into one service at 9:15 a.m., which will be celebrated by the

Rev. Dr. James Corl using a Book of Common Prayer liturgy that would have been used in 1835, music from that same period of time, and a dedication of new silver chalices, a ciborium and a paten. There will then be an intergenerational event of making advent wreaths followed by a dinner and celebratory cake.

Opinion Editorial

Celebrate our veterans

World War I, known at the time as “The Great War,” officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

A legal holiday dedicated to the cause of world peace, this day was celebrated and known as “Armistice Day” as of May 13, 1938. However, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history, and after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veterans.” With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Veterans Day honors America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Celebrations to honor our veterans will take place across the country this week. While appreciation for our veterans should be shown every day of the year, be sure to take the time to thank those who have protected and continue to protect our freedoms.

Voters approve reducing county legislature First, I would like to thank everyone who voted on Election Day. The turnout in the first district was above average for a midterm election. I would also like to thank the voters for approving the proposition to reduce the size of the County Legislature from 19 legislators to 17. Projected census numbers have shown a reduction in population in Onondaga County necessitating a reduction in the number of representatives proportionately. The redistricting process will begin once the census is finalized on or before March 31. At that point, a committee, consisting of appointments from the County Executive, the Legislature’s Chairman, the Minority Leader, the Board of Elections Commissioners, and the Majority Leader will meet to discuss how the lines should be redrawn for the 17 legislative districts. As Majority Leader, I have one appointment to this committee. We will have a short time frame to do this as nominations for the respective dis-

tricts will take place before the end of April, and elections for the newly drawn legislative districts will take place in November. I do not believe the first district will change much as the population in Lysander has increased over the last 10 years.

The main issue discussed at the Nov. 3 legislative session was the contract for the health services at our three correctional facilities. I am sure many of you are aware of the problems we have had at the correctional facilities over the last year resulting in two deaths. The legislature, as part of next year’s budget, authorized the correctional health

services at these facilities to be contracted out to a private vendor. Our hope is that this will improve the care while reducing future potential liabilities. At the November session, the legislature approved starting some phases of this service this year.

Although there is very little savings by contracting this service over the short term, I do believe there will be savings in the future from the consistently increasing cost for employee benefits and pensions. I also believe that the care can be enhanced; many counties have chosen to contract out their correctional health services, and we have received very good recommendations on the company we have chosen.

Lastly, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Rich Lesniak represents the first district, which includes the Town of Lysander and the western portion of Clay.

Rich welcomes constituent feedback; he can be contacted at 638-8373.

From the mailbag ‘Good enough’ is not safe enough

To the editor: The Baldwinsville School District recently praised themselves for having received only five transportation complaints this year. Then why have they not avidly addressed those concerns, especially considering that they have a lesser number of issues to deal with this year?

I’ve been battling with the school district since the beginning of the year, when the district changed my son’s bus stop. He is the last of four children we’ve had in the district, this year it has been decided that the very same bus stop that was deemed unsafe for the past 20 years has now been deemed an “economical” choice and safe location, despite the fact that the main road that he now

waits on has recently expanded to four lanes of traffic at 45mph. The district believes my son is safe at this dangerous intersection because he is 17 years old and also waits at the stop with another child, 11 years old.

I’m wondering when the district believes sex offenders stopped targeting teenagers and who will be waiting with my son or the other child, when one of them is absent on a particular day. I’m also wondering why the district believes that waiting there in the dark during winter months, when cars are skidding off the roads to stop at the red light, which is not far from the stop, is safe for children to be standing unprotected waiting for the school bus.

The 11-year-old who waits with my son actually has to cross four lanes of highway to get to the bus stop. Our dead end roads were

designed with school buses in mind, as there are large turnaround areas at the end of both dead end streets.

The elementary bus uses it every day.

The very same school district that has prided itself on improvement and satisfaction has completely ignored my requests. As a responsible parent and a loyal taxpayer, I expect that the school district will provide a higher level of safety for our children. When the district has settled for “good enough” where does our children’s safety fit in? And where are the parents to turn for help when the bureaucracy has failed, the superintendent and the transportation department has turned a blind eye?

From the archives

Sketches of Yesterday: The Flu of 1918 In the Dec. 29, 1960 edition of the Baldwinsville Messenger, A.J. Christopher, author of the column Sketches of Yesterday, wrote the following column: The fall of 1918 can be remembered as bringing something else beside the end of World War I. The war ended, sure enough, on Nov. 11, which eventually received the name of Armistice Day. In recent times, it has developed into an occasion of greater meaning—Veteran’s Day. An epidemic of Spanish influenza, starting mildly the previous year, became worse in 1918, reaching its peak when the cold weather of that year stemmed the infectious virus disease. Invading Europe and America, it harassed the men in the trenches of France as well as the civilians at home.

September, 1918, was a cold, rainy month, very suitable for spreading the terrible “flu.” The

malady baffled the medical profession to an extent, thus delaying its eradication.

If you were fortunate enough to keep yourself toned up, avoided drafts, wet feet and fatigue, and your constitution was hardy, perhaps the “grippe” (an older name for influenza) might not attack. But just fall down on one of these points and you had it. When you came down with the flu, you didn’t care for anything.

You felt as though you could sleep indefinitely—and many did.

Yes, I contracted the ailment.

Laid it to the draft coming through an open window. This was Saturday.

By Sunday I could have lain down in the street and gone to sleep. All the medics were swamped; it was two days before a doctor could be had.

Monday afternoon, Dr. Spengler arrived in response to my mother’s call. “He’s got a pretty high temperature. Give him this medicine (three

varieties of pills) and don’t try to feed him,” I heard the doctor say.

In a week or 10 days, exhaustion replaced the desire for sleep.

Three weeks of good, old fashioned mother’s care and Spengler’s pills put me on my feet again. A great many were not so fortunate. It is said that coffins could not be made fast enough to supply Camp Syracuse on Lakeland Hill. Imagine the toll of the flu on the battlefields of Europe!

The approach of cold dry weather in November brought a check on the grippe epidemic, reaching a controllable stage. Many places in shop and office were empty—the former workers, victims of the flu.

Chronicles of A.J. Christopher’s Sketches of Yesterday can be found at the Baldwinsville Public Library, where Lysander Historian Bonnie Kisselstein, along with the help of librarians, recently catalogued the entire collection.

“I believe the only way a program like this can work in a school is if the administration and the entire staff work collaboratively to support and promote it,” Marciniak said.

He noted that the school’s administration and staff welcome a studentcentered guidance office, allowing for the development of programs at Durgee that positively impact a student’s academic, social and emotional growth.

The youth leaders will create several activities throughout the school year to keep their peers informed and to educate them on various issues.

This fall, the Durgee Leadership Team (DLT), at Durgee Junior High School, presented its annual series of skits on sensitive school issues to the school’s eighth-graders. This year’s skits had a strong emphasis on bullying behaviors in school, in light of recent tragic incidents of bullying around the country.

With the assistance of their advisor, guidance counselor Christopher Marciniak, the ninth-graders wrote all of the skits that they performed. The skits highlighted tips and strategies for combating the three forms of bullying – physical, verbal and psychological.

Besides bullying, the DLT members included information on Internet safety, rumors, academic support, the district’s dress code, diversity and sports contract fulfillment.

Marciniak formed the DLT in 2005 to identify student leaders at Durgee and to draw on their strengths in order to promote a positive school environment. Each year a group of Durgee teachers selects the DLT members, based on each student’s academic performance, interpersonal skills, and motivation.

Members of Durgee Leadership Team include:

Their educational efforts aren’t limited to Durgee’s classrooms. Over the last couple of years the DLT has been traveling to the district’s elementary schools to educate fifth-graders about recycling and being environmentally responsible. Earlier this year the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency (OCRRA) recognized the DLT as an area leader in recycling.

On its website, OCRRA notes that the DLT’s ability to communicate on a peer-to-peer basis has made its recycling message effective.

This year there are 38 ninth-graders in the DLT.

Lysander resident Billy Palmer asked whether the town was covering 100 percent of health insurance costs for town employees, which board officials confirmed. Palmer then suggested the town take a look at the private sector, which makes employees pay a portion of health insurance premiums.

Lysander resident Chris Patrick suggested the town save money by making town board councilor positions volunteer rather than paid positions like the Baldwinsville Central School District does.

The public hearing lasted approximately 45 minutes before officials closed and continued it to the next board meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. Thursday Nov. 18 at the town hall, 8220 Loop Road in Radisson.

Budget details The proposed tax rate for village residents within the town of Lysander is $.62 per $1,000 in home value (2010 rate was $.80/1000); the proposed tax rate for Lysander 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 be approved.

According to Lysander

From page 1 Comptroller David Rahrle, the total budget appropriations for the general, part town and highway funds is $5,638,406, which represents an increase of $945,012 when compared to the 2010 budget. However, by taking $1.26 million in sales tax revenue, the town was able to reduce overall spending by six percent.

Looking at a breakdown of the budget, the general fund spending decreased by $433,707 from 2010, and the part town and highway funds’ spending increased by $8,328 and $1,370,391, respectively. The total revenues for the 2011 proposed budget are $2,730,825, an increase of $944,185 from 2010 (this includes the $1.26 million in sales tax revenue).

A significant portion of the proposed budget is designated to the highway fund, which includes appropriations of $502,631 for road construction projects, $150,000 for road maintenance, $189,000 for road salt and $217,600 for equipment purchases (the equipment purchases and 20 percent of the road construction projects will be funded by sales tax revenue).

Officials have until Nov. 20 to adopt the proposed budget.

Supervisor Barry Bullis added that the entire budget would be available for residents to review on the town website at townoflysander.org.

Learning

From page 1

She then put a call out to superintendents in the area over the listserv asking for a school to partner with them to teach the class. Baldwinsville was one of two districts and was chosen based on scheduling, she said. “We’re so grateful Baldwinsville took it,� she said, adding she gives Cassidy, the teacher of the course, a lot of credit for taking the class because the technology provides extra work for Cassidy.

Cassidy said the students have been great, but the technological problems have been frustrating. When she was first approached about teaching the course, she was intrigued but also wary of the technology.

She said the technology had been acting up during the past week and she was worried for the students at McGraw who might not get the full lesson. She posts the notes online to her website so students can see what they missed. She also revisits parts of the lesson, which she says is also beneficial to the Baldwinsville students because it gives them a second chance to hear her explain it.

While she said she is happy to be able to help the McGraw students take the class, she said it is not an ideal situation because they are unable to ask questions, they are unable to meet with her before and after school and she is unable to see their work. “They’re very motivated and very bright though,� said Cassidy.

She said her favorite part of the distance learning was “camera wars,� which she ends each class with. Camera wars are when each class gets a chance to control the other class’s camera. She said the students have a lot of fun with it and helps them come together as a class.

During camera wars they are able to learn about each other. Cassidy said one thing the students found interesting was the size of the senior class. Baker High School has 463 seniors and McGraw has about 38 seniors.

part in the class. “Our district saw it as an opportunity to help out another district that had a need,� he said. “We have a good math department and the fact we can help share knowledge with students in another district is something we’re proud of.�

West Genesse also has distance learning, but DeBarbieri said he is unsure if they are currently using it.

Usually the larger schools will provide the broadcasted classes because they have a lot of staff and electives, he said.

This was the first time the district used their technology for distance learning with another school.

They have used the equipment for virtual field trips, where students are able to see places and things without having to leave the classroom, DeBarbieri said.

Since the school already had the equipment, they decided to help out McGraw, said RJ DeLisle, the director of technology for the Baldwinsville Central School district.

The equipment was purchased last year with the intention of students to be able to take virtual field trips because trans-

The equipment needed consists of a camera, microphone, monitor, remotes and a network connection. Two sets of the equipment cost about $4,000 and was purchased through the BOCES threeyear lease program with the school district, he said.

In case of technical difficulties, there are trained people to troubleshoot at both high schools, as well as a phone number to call at BOCES, he said. “We didn’t plan for this so we weren’t able to test it before we went live,� said DeLisle.

He said if Baldwinsville were going to do distance learning again, they would

create a connection for the two schools instead of having each school connect to BOCES. “It was going great and now it’s been acting up,� he said. He added they are unsure of the reason but they are working to find the problem.

Chloe Leibrock, a senior at Baldwinsville said she was excited when Cassidy informed the class they would be participating in the distance learning. “I think it’s kind of cool,� she said. “It doesn’t really affect us much unless there are technical difficulties. It’s just a regular class. I feel like it would be weirder for them not being able to see us.�

Lysander Parks and Recreation Department is “Going Green� with its seasonal brochure. The brochure will be available in pdf on the website (townoflysander. org), where visitors can view it online.

Football Bees survive CBA, repeat as AA champs

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Wide right - two words that will please the ears of the Baldwinsville football team, and haunt Christian Brothers Academy, for a while to come.

The Bees, who waited 20 years (1989 to 2009) between sectional titles, earned back-to-back championships for the first time Sunday in the Carrier Dome, beating the Brothers 16-14 - but not before seeing its championship reign come down to a single kick.

With 21 seconds left, CBA’s Riley Dixon lined up a 42-yard field-goal try. Make it, and the Brothers would be champions.

Miss it, and B’ville would hang on to its crown.

“I didn’t watch it,” said B’ville head coach Carl Sanfilippo. “I didn’t have the heart to watch it.”

If he did watch, Sanfilippo would have seen Dixon, with his strong right leg, crush the ball toward the uprights, with plenty of distance. But the ball started to hook, and went into the net wide right, setting off a celebration for the fans in red - and consternation for the fans in purple and gold.

CBA, to some degree, caused its own trouble by suffering four turnovers, two of them in the fourth quarter, and also muffing a punt that led to B’ville’s first touchdown.

But much of the trouble, at least in the early going, was caused by B’ville’s stingy defense.

That unit features Nick Robinson, Jake Margrey, Nate Stoughtenger and Mark Stanard on the line, with Dave Middlemore, Steve Mitchell and Carter Twombly at the linebacker spots. Antonio Peck, Eric Tommarello, Collin Twombly and Ben Paprocki work in the secondary, and put together, they kept B’ville ahead and forced the Brothers into crucial mistakes.

But CBA wasn’t moving the ball as the Bees’ defense continued to punish Hamblin every time he tried to run or throw. The Brothers had just two first downs and 38 total yards in the entire first half and made things worse when, late in the half, it tried a fake punt, only to see Stanard tackle Dixon at the CBA 26.

Finally, the Bees broke through with this fourth scoring opportunity. Aided by a pass interference penalty, the Bees used three runs

by Kiff and Colligan to move it to the one-yard line - from where, with 25 seconds left in the half, Kiff (who would finish with 138 yards on 40 carries) bowled into the end zone. Stanard’s extra point made it 7-0, where it stood Pat Duffy at the half.

With 5:37 to play, Stanard hit a short punt, and though three Bees tried to down it, the ball remained in play. Knowing that the ball was not dead, CBA’s Evan Adamo scooped it up and, before B’ville could properly react, returned the punt 78 yards, untouched, for a touchdown that, with Dixon making the PAT this time around, cut the Bees’ margin to two.

Now just trying to hang on, the Bees went back to its trademark ground game. Kiff got one first down on a third-and-five, but Colligan got stopped on a third down at midfield, giving the Brothers a chance to move ahead.

Taking over at its own 22 with 2:34 left, Hamblin scrambled and hit Adamo on a 23-yard completion to put it near midfield, then found Adamo (who had seven catches for 138 yards) again on a 10-yard completion. But on a screen pass with 1:57 left, Greg Thomson fumbled it - and Carter Twombly recovered at the Bees’ 37. It was CBA’s fourth turnover.

CBA used its timeouts to get the ball back on its own 29 with 59 seconds to play. Hamblin got two quick completions to Adamo, then got 15 more yards thanks to pass interference that put it inside the Bees’ 30, within field-goal range. A short completion put it on the 25, but there the drive stalled, setting up Dixon’s fateful boot.

When it went off course, B’ville had the championship - and a date Saturday with Section IV champion Corning in the Class AA regional playoffs at East Syracuse-Minoa Stadium. Game time is 2:30. The winner gets Clarence or Rush-Henrietta in the Nov. 20 state semifinals at Marina Auto Stadium in Rochester.

Thompson wins Class AA cross country sectionals

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Two Baldwinsville cross country runners – one with lots of experience, the other just getting used to the whole deal – are on their way to compete in the state championships.

Shaun Thompson, a senior, got there by winning last Saturday’s Section III Class AA race at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School, while eighth-grader Rachael Miller earned the same honor in the girls sectional event.

Thompson was fresh off his victory in the CNY Counties League championship meet at Jamesville Beach on Oct. 30, and was eager to take on all of AA’s top runners

once more.

Soon enough, the race turned into a duel between Thompson and, leading the chase pack, FayettevilleManlius senior Mark McGurrin.

But Thompson had too much and crossed the line in a time of 16:00.7, the fastest time of the entire sectional meet, as he beat McGurrin by 6.7 seconds.

Thompson joined Chris Buchanan (Cicero-North Syracuse), Billy Gabriel, John DeLallo (both from West Genesee) and Trevor Mayer (Central Square) on the Section III All-Stars as they head for Lakeside Park in Pawling, east of Poughkeepsie, for Saturday’s state meet.

Meanwhile, in the girls AA race,

Miller stood out amid the usual onrush of competitors from F-M, the nation’s no. 1-ranked team, who had nine of the top 13 finishers.

Miller took 11th place in 19 minutes, 49.8 seconds. But since she was fourth among runners outside of F-M, she earned a spot on the same All-Star squad as Thompson that will be going to Pawling.

She joins a strong (and very young) quintet that includes two freshmen, West Genesee’s Laura Leff and CNS’s Maria LaMontagne, and two sophomores, CNS’s Nicole Waterrud and Liverpool’s Ashley Letteney.

In the boys Class AA meet, B’ville had 101 points, taking third place. Defending state champion

Fayetteville-Manlius won with 31 points, as West Genesee and CNS manned the second and third spots.

Alec Peinkofer just missed reaching the state meet, but the sophomore still ran to 10th place in 16:55.4. Sophomore Andy Fleming was 24th, in 17:48.3, just ahead of senior Ethan Pacheck (17:50.4) in 25th place.

Matt Pond (18:40.6) and Josh Perez (18:42.1) were 53rd and 54th, respectively, with Casey McCallister (19:05.1), Ronnie May (19:25.2) and Jack Martin (19:26.2) rounding out the field.

As F-M dominated the girls

AA meet, B’ville, a team filled with plenty of youth, finished fifth with 129 points.

Sophomore Annie Peterson had a strong showing, as she got 16th place in 20:40.5, just three spots out of the state qualifier. Another sophomore, Julia Johnson, was 35th in 21:51.4, with senior Mallory Warner 38th in 22:03.5.

Freshman Nicole Lyons was 44th in 22:20.2, with sophomore Emily Thompson taking 57 th place (22:56.3), just ahead of Lydia Darling (23:02.6), Sydney Slavik (23:07.3), Danielle DePaulis (23:39.1) and Holly McMahon (23:57.5).

B’ville field hockey wins first sectional title

By Phil Blackwell

pblackwell@cnylink.com

An important milestone - namely, its first-ever Section III Class A championship - was within the grasp of the Baldwinsville field hockey team, and it seized upon that piece of history with confidence and verve.

Up against defending champion Rome Free Academy in Saturday night’s championship game at CiceroNorth Syracuse’s Bragman Stadium, the Bees used an offensive surge early in the second half to beat the Black Knights 3-1 and reach a place no B’ville field hockey side had reached before.

“It means the world to us,” said senior Lindsay Varga, who scored twice in the final.

“It’s the most incredible thing, to set the bar (higher) for the next couple of years.”

Coach James Hanley agreed. “It’s quite the accomplishment,” he said. “We’ve got a real dynamic team.”

Only once before, in 2002, had B’ville reached a sectional final, losing that game to Liverpool 4-0. The result here would prove far different, despite RFA’s daunting legacy of success that included nine previous sectional titles.

They had split in the regular season, each side winning at home by healthy margins B’ville 4-0 in early September, RFA 7-1 a month later. It was that latter result, said Varga,

that served as a galvanizing force and source of motivation for their encounter in the sectional finals.

“It (that 7-1 loss) riled us up a lot,” said Varga.

Aggressive from the opening whistle, B’ville earned two early penalty corners. Off the second of them, just 4:03 into the game, Varga, the team’s leading scorer this season, took a hard shot from the right side that skidded past RFA goalie Danielle Famolaro into the net, and the Bees had a quick 1-0 lead.

Flat at the start, the Black Knights took an early timeout, and after it started to attack more. This put the Bees’ defense to work, and with Nicole Piontkowski, Sierra Earle and Andrea Davaro working in the back and offering protection for goalie Lindsay Farrell, RFA’s push was repelled.

The action went back and forth until, with 3:47 left in the half, the Black Knights broke in and, off a pass from Stacie Skidmore, Kaysie Gregory crushed a hard, point-blank shot just past Farrell and into the net, tying it 1-1, where it stayed until halftime.

During the break, Hanley said he challenged his team to put everything into the remaining time on the field.

“I told them we’ve got 30 minutes,” he said. “It’s now or nothing. No complaints, no whining. And they did it.”

Just as in the first half,

CANCER BEWARE

B’ville gradually worked its way toward the RFA net, then made the night’s decisive move.

Less than four minutes into the second half, Paige Corso saw Famolaro make a diving save on her shot- but seconds later, on a penalty corner, B’ville swarmed the net again and Nicole Bourdon slammed the shot home, putting the Bees back in front 2-1.

Just three minutes later, the Bees were back on the doorstep with another penalty corner. Again, several Bees attacked the net at once - and Varga got a stick on the ball, pushing it past Famolaro to get her 22nd goal of the season and extend her team’s lead to two.

Though RFA would try to rally once more, B’ville kept attacking and refused to sit on its lead, forcing penalty corners and keeping the pressure on the Black Knights’ defenders. Even though the shots were off target (and one hit

the left post), the Bees would not surrender control the rest of the way, Farrell making a big kick save with 6:50 left to keep the margin intact.

B’ville would play Section IV champion Greene Tuesday night on Greene’s home turf, with the winner to get the Section II champions next Saturday for a berth in the state final four, to be played Nov. 19-20 right back at the CNS turf where Raymond McKenna B’ville made its championFIRST TIME ON TOP: Baldwinsville’ s field hockey team with the Section III Class A ship breakthrough. championship banner after beating Rome Free Academy 3-1 in last Saturday’s final.

Attic exhaust fan Many attics are equipped with an exhaust fan to vent hot air from under the roof. Animals can scurry through the opening of the exhaust pipe and into the attic itself.

Attics are very attractive to animals because they tend to be warm and infrequently visited -- a perfect place for a nest.

Window wells Basement window wells offer areas where animals can spend time unnoticed gnawing away at loose trim or caulking to sneak past.

However, when the cooler weather arrives, and animals are looking for burrows and nests to weather out the chill, your home may be especially attractive. An autumn project to undertake should involve keeping unwanted wildlife out of the house.

A home presents a number of entry points for animals.

Timber Banks – Upstate New York’s premier golf experience Constructed to Nicklaus Designs highest standards, Timber Banks’ four sets of tees offer players of every level a challenging and enjoyable round of golf. Come and enjoy a world class experience on this magnificently scenic and beautifully appointed layout. Playing through and across woodlands, meadows and wetlands, Timber Banks is a natural and tranquil setting; winding through ancient forests and emerging neighborhoods, you’ll see golf in a very new way.

The Front Nine at Timber Banks This straight forward opening hole measures 390 yards from the BEAR Tees, watch out for the tree guarding the right side of the fairway off the tee. A short iron approach to a unprotected green, at least by Nicklaus Design standards, leaves you a chance to get your round off on the right foot.

A well placed drive between the bunkers gives you the best opportunity to go for the green in 2. The green is well protected and one of the most severely sloped on the course. Hole number 2 is a true risk reward hole- reachable but dangerous.

This dog-leg right par 4 is one of the shortest par 4’s we have and also one of the tightest. A tee shot placed left center of the fairway past the corner gives you a great look at this ‘mild’ green by Nicklaus’ standards.

This is the longest of the par 3’s measuring 226 yards from the Bear Tees, it requires a long iron or hybrid, between the water on the left and the bunkers on the right.

The green is one of the deepest on the course- knowing the pin location is essential for selecting the proper club.

The number one handicap hole requires a well placed big tee shot right- center of the fairway that gives you the best angle for your long iron approach. Avoid the greenside bunkers or a bogey or worse is likely.

A slight dog-leg left, your tee shot must stay left of the tree that protects the right side of the fairway. The lone bunker steals the headlines. A mid to short iron approach must carry to the correct portion of the green, otherwise break out your short game and try to get up and down from one of the many collection areas that surround one of the largest putting surfaces on the course.

A par 5, 3-shot hole all the way. Measuring 584 yards from the bear tees, it plays longer than the yardage indicates. The second shot is key to leave yourself a short iron or wedge to this elevated green which is protected by the water hazard front and right.

This par 3 provides a challenge with club selection because it has one of the shallowest greens on the course. Once you have the right club, avoid the large bunker on the right and the collection area on the left. Take your 2- putt par and move on.

This hole hosts the most challenging tee shot we have. A long drive placed to the right of the massive fairway bunker will leave a long iron or hybrid to a green that is another Nicklaus Design staple, sloped from back left to front right.

And don’t forget about the well placed green- side bunker, it will catch an errant approach shot.

The Back Nine at Timber Banks A solid tee shot slightly left of center will leave a short iron approach on this shorter par 4. Accurate club selection is critical to find the relatively shallow putting surface. The fairway bunker on the left is 259 yards from the BEAR tees.

CAUTION! Lateral water hazard right of fairway bunker and behind green!

Avoid the bunkers on this beautiful three shot par 5 for a chance at par or better. The fortress green demands precision, so be resolved and commit to the shot! The bunkers on the left are 260 yards from the BEAR tees.

A tee shot of 228 yards from the BEAR tee will safely carry the water hazard on this medium length par 4. The green falls away behind and to the right and demands a confident approach. The bunker on the right is 298 yards from the BEAR tees.

The first of the back nine’s par 3s, this well guarded green requires proper club selection for a chance at par. Beware when the flagstick is above the bunker!

Timber Banks’ second par 5 requires brains, brawn, and a deft touch. The fairway is wider than it appears from the tee. Avoid the bunker on the right and you will marvel at the challenges that remain. Place your second shot where you can use your “old reliable” for your third. You will need all its magic to safely find the elevated green. The bunker on the right is 296 yards from the BEAR tees.

Timber Banks’ November special – weekdays $25; weekends $30. For tee times, memberships and tournaments call 635-8800.

One of Mr. Nicklaus’s most masterful short par 4’s, do not be deceived by #15’s beauty. The bunkers on the right grab the headlines; lateral water hazards on the left and right do the damage. The sliver of a green completes the package. The bunkers on the right are 360 yards from the BEAR tees.

The Seneca River and an early peek at Timber Banks’ coming attractions add majesty to an already beautiful par 3. The green is the largest on this nine, but…the greenside bunker is as well. Choose wisely.

The prudent play may be a lay-up short of the cross bunkers leaving a comfortable mid-iron approach on this medium length, slight dogleg right par 4. When the wind is right a long drive will leave only a short pitch. The green is narrow with no bunkers and water to its left. The first bunker on the right is 222 yards from the BEAR tees and will be carried with a drive of 252 yards. The last bunker on the left is 254 yards from the BEAR tees. th Long but downhill, the 18 is a classic, daunting Nicklaus Design par 4 finishing hole. A narrow lateral hazard runs the length of the left side emptying into a guardian pond. The bunker on the right is 270 yards from the BEAR tees.

Timber Banks’ November special – weekdays $25; weekends $30. For tee times, memberships and tournaments call 635-8800.

B’ville girls breeze into AA volleyball final pblackwell@cnylink.com

One more victory separates the Baldwinsville girls volleyball team from its 13th Section III title in the last 15 years.

The Bees’ total dominance of the Class AA ranks continued in last Tuesday’s sectional semifinals at Baker High School, where B’ville dismissed no. 4 seed West Genesee, the last team (in 2007) to beat the Bees in a sectional match.

B’ville treated West Genesee, the no. 4 seed, like it had treated 16 previous opponents - by sweeping them. The Bees beat the Wildcats 25-5 in the first game, then claimed the next two games 25-17

and 25-18.

Brianna Stewart’s night included 28 assists, six aces and seven digs. A balanced B’ville front line included Allegra Bell picking up nine kills and three blocks, while Paulina Rein had eight kills. Emily Walser and Erica Miller each had six kills, while Sarah Klaben picked up four aces and Becca Maher contributed five digs.

In the Class AA final Wednesday night at Cicero-North Syracuse’s gym, the Bees will get no. 3 seed Liverpool, whose threegame sweep of no. 2 seed CNS prevented the Northstars from getting a chance to play the championship match on its home court.

B’ville swimmers compete at sectional meet

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Baldwinsville’s girls swim team finished ninth among 13 entries at last Thursday’s Section III Class A championship meet at Nottingham High School.

Overall, the Bees had 122 points, well off Christian Brothers Academy, who repeated as champions with 381 points.

Samantha Sidorakis was fifth in the 100 backstroke in 1:05.88. Charis Parker did take seventh place in the 100 breaststroke

in a time of 1:12.05.

In the 200 medley relay, Parker, Sidorakis, Elena Margrey and Margot Courtois got sixth place in 2:01.33. Parker and Sidroakis joined Alexandra Connor and Margaret Walsh to take eighth in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:50.18.

When it moved to Saturday’s overall sectional final, Sidorakis did manage eighth place in the 100 backstroke in 1:06.63, the only Bees’ swimmer to reach any of the championship races.

Kids are particularly susceptible to sports injuries especially those younger than eight.

They are typcially less corrdinated and have slower reaction times than adults because they are still growing and developing. In addition, kids mature at different rates, and there’s often a substantial difference in height and weight between kids of the same age. When kids of varying sizes play sports together, there may be an increased risk of injury. If you or a family member needs physical therapy, please call our clinic at 315-476-3176 to schedule an appointment. We are proud to offer hight trained and experienced professionals to serve you.

Almost half of the sports injuries suffered by middle- and high-school children are caused by overuse. Moreover, a coalition of doctors’ groups and elite athletes involved in the Stop Sports Injuries campaign says that these injuries are preventable. According to this campaign, the sports with the highest risk of overuse injuries are baseball, basketball, cheerleading, dancing, football, gymnastics, running, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and volleyball. The factor that underlies overuse injuries in all these sports is specialization.

This is to say that children are being forced to choose a single sport to concentrate on and are playing it nearly exclusively all year-round.

As a result, their growing bodies do not get the chance they need to rest and recover.

Firenze sisters lead B’ville to AA soccer crown

By Phil Blackwell

pblackwell@cnylink.com

Sisters in real life and teammates on the field, Jackie and Emma Firenze drove the Baldwinsville girls soccer team to its second Section III Class AA championship in three years.

Jackie, a junior, and Emma, a sophomore, accounted for all of the Bees’ goals in a 3-1 victory over Fayetteville-Manlius in the AA finals Friday night at SUNYCortland, a game that was in real doubt until the final minutes.

F-M was back in the sectional final for the second year in a row (having lost to CBA in the 2009 title game), and was trying to earn some payback for that, plus a 2-0 defeat to the Bees on Oct. 14 where Jackie Firenze had one of the goals.

It was the Hornets getting most of the chances in the early stages, its front line going on a series of solo runs and finding some gaps in the B’ville defense. Before the game hit the five-minute mark, Allison Baynes had an open look and Claire Monnat down on the ground, but shot it over the net.

Monnat made a good stop at the nine-minute mark, too.

Gradually, B’ville began to build its own attack, Jackie Firenze getting a shot just over the net in the 20th minute and Angelica Romeu unable to get the ball past Nina Quigley on a close-up look five minutes later. Each side ran back and forth, the opportunities constant as the defenses had to stay alert.

Then, less than four minutes before halftime, Lily VanDevalk made a crisp low pass from the left

corner that Jackie Firenze, with a side-winding shot, put past Quigley into the net, giving B’ville a 1-0 lead that held until the break.

As the second half started, the Bees could not add to its margin, despite a handful of opportunities.

And F-M kept attacking until the 56th minute, when Allison Baynes threw a well-timed pass to a streaking Brenna Kincaid, whose low shot zoomed past Steph Lynch into the net to tie it, 1-1.

Unfazed by this, B’ville resumed its push - and turned to its talented sister act to offer the game’s decisive blows.

Just six minutes after Kincaid tied it, Emma Firenze crushed a 25-yard shot into the net, putting the Bees in front for good. And with 12:06 left, on a free kick from 35 yards out, Jackie Firenze returned to offer a low, hard-

spinning shot that slipped out of Quigley’s hands and past the goal line to clinch it.

B’ville will now advance to play the Section II (Albany area) champions in next Saturday’s Class AA regional finals. The winner of that game returns to the Cortland/Homer area for the Nov. 19-20 state final four.

Just to reach the final wasn’t an easy task. In last Tuesday’s AA semifinal at West Genesee, the Bees were dragged to overtime by no. 4 seed Liverpool, but pulled out a 1-0 victory, the game-winner coming from Emma Firenze after a frustrating 80 minutes of regulation.

Such was expected after B’ville and Liverpool had two close regular-season encounters - one on Sept. 17, the other on Oct. 15 - that both ended 2-1 in the Bees’ favor.

17

All through regulation, the pattern remained consistent. B’ville’s quick attackers would wander into Liverpool territory, and every time the Warriors would offer up fierce resistance. The only good thing about it was that the Bees also were quite formidable on the defensive side, unwilling to give Liverpool many close chances.

So it went to the 20 full minutes of overtime still 0-0. Just 2:12 into the extra period, B’ville put together a series of crisp passes.

The last of them saw Angelica Romeu give it to Emma Firenze, whose quick shot sailed past Liverpool goalie Tori Corsaro and into the net.

B’ville maintained that slim edge through the rest of the OT sessions, withstanding a pair of Liverpool corner kicks in the second extra period.

Stunning rally sends Bees past CNS in OT

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Four minutes from seeing its three-year reign as Section III Class AA champions reach an end, the Baldwinsville boys soccer team rescued itself - and crushed the spirits of Cicero-North Syracuse in the process.

The no. 2 seed Bees used Dan Knight’s goal late in regulation and Mike Guardino’s conversion 7:49 into overtime to turn a late deficit into a 2-1 victory over the Northstars Wednesday night in the Section III Class AA semifinals at Liverpool High School’s turf, setting up a championship showdown with top seed FayettevilleManlius, who beat West Genesee 3-1 in the other semifinal.

All through B’ville’s championship reign, CNS has posed one of the biggest threats, as the two

sides have engaged in fierce, low-scoring and physical contests normally decided by a single big play - or single mistake. That includes the Bees winning over the Northstars in the 2008 sectional finals and ’09 semifinals.

Now they were meeting again - and for a long while, that same pattern was repeating itself, as much of regulation was played in a 0-0 deadlock. Despite a vibrant pace and a whole host of scoring chances, the Bees and Northstars could not convert.

Late in the first half, CNS goalkeeper Dan DeBottis made two spectacular stops, tipping Ben Ramin’s hard shot over the net, then making a kick save on Casey Murphy’s shot a couple of minutes later, so it went to the second half still 0-0.

Midway through the second half, the Northstars nearly took the lead as

Thiago DeSouza rushed in with the ball. He shot once, and the ball slipped out of Andrew Coughlin’s grasp, allowing DeSouza an open shot into an unoccupied net - and he hit it wide right.

Both sides were starting to grapple with the possibility of overtime when, with 7:56 to play, a B’ville defender misplayed a CNS cross from the right side, allowing Josh Williams a free run to the net, and he slid the ball past Coughlin, giving the Northstars a 1-0 lead.

Now forced to go all-out or risk seeing its season end, B’ville attacked hard - and with four minutes left, Murphy collided with DeBottis just in front of the net as a shot got deflected wide.

It forced a corner kick, and because the clock stopped to attend to his injury, DeBottis had to leave the game. He could only watch as, off a short corner, Adam Lauko crossed to

Boys volleyball stunned

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Back on Oct. 25, when the Baldwinsville boys volleyball team pushed defending champion Cicero-North Syracuse to five games in the regular-season finale, most assumed that the two would gather again in the Section III Class AA championship match.

But the Bees never got there.

Holding two different leads during last Wednesday night’s AA semifinal against no. 3 seed Central Square in the Baker High School gym, the Bees could not hang on as the Red Hawks rallied for a five-game victory.

So it’s Central Square that faces CNS (who swept Oswego in the other semifinal) for the title, as the Bees’ chance to

end its 2009 crown ended.

Right from the opening game, it proved a close affair.

B’ville and Central Square traded points, but in the end the Bees finished in front 2523, getting an idea of the night that lay ahead.

Sure enough, the Red Hawks took command late in the second game and, by a 25-20 margin, pulled even.

The third game was just as tight, only this time B’ville had the last surge, winning 25-22 to take a 2-1 advantage.

One game from the sectional finals, the Bees could only watch as Central Square put things together and won the fourth game 25-21. Newly confident, the Red Hawks then played a superb final game and, by a 25-19 margin, ended B’ville’s season.

Kyle Lattanzio, with 15

kills, led the Bees’ front line, where Chris Thayer and Dan Dubiel each put up 12 kills and Jarret Reaume had nine kills. Ryan Shelton piled up 45 assists, an average of nine assists per game, as Matt McKee had nine digs.

To win, Central Square needed Nick Dale to register 41 assists, going to a front line where Sheldon Paura (12 kills), Mike Brandt (11 kills, 10 blocks), T.J. Perkins (10 kills) and Isaac Fox (eight kills, five blocks) flourished.

It might prove tough to replicate the Bees’ 12-5 mark in 2011 since nine seniors – Lattanzio, Dubiel, Thayer, Reaume, McKee, Zach Racha, Jake Toscano, Rob Sharfstein and Aaron Stolicker – depart.

New front-line players will be needed to handle Shelton’s passes.

the middle - and Knight blasted home a perfect shot to tie the game 1-1 with 3:58 left.

Shaken by this, the Northstars got it to overtime, but could only watch B’ville continue the attack.
