Maysel Markham considers himself a promoter of Baldwinsville. After 22 years with the Baldwinsville Department of Public Works, he will retire from his position as foreman Nov. 26. “When the ladies at the Visitor Center were told [about Mace’s retirement], they hung the black

crepe,� said Markham’s wife, Peg. “It was like they were saying ‘what are we going to do now?’,� Markham said. “It’s nice to think I’m considered the go-to person. It really makes you feel good that people think that much of you.� When it comes to the village, Markham is proud to not only be a resident, but also to have had a hand in making the village what it is today.

Plainville turkey plant closes doors By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com

Kosher Valley Poultry, formerly Plainville Turkey Farms, has closed its plant in Plainville. After placing employees on furlough in May, the plant has officially laid off 98 employees due to the economic climate, a company representative said.

“The company researched various options to process antibioticfree poultry at the Plainville site and had intended to reconfigure the plant and recall the employees by November,� the representative said. However, after reviewing several options and considering the state of the economy, the company decided not to reopen the plant at this time.

Hain Pure Protein Corporation, the company that acquired Plainville Farms in 2007, maintains administrative and sales offices in Plainville, as well as plants in Liverpool and Pennsylvania where products are produced under the Plainville Turkey Farm name. The company maintains 32 employees in New York.

Residents in Whispering Oaks can rest easy. The development, which has struggled with a failing sewer system for more than a decade and was recently fined by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for raw sewage draining into the Seneca River, has received a New York State Water Quality Improvement Program grant totaling $1.24 million. The grant will cover 90 percent of the cost to connect the Whispering Oaks Sewer District to the West Genesee Sewer District including the installation of a six-inch, 9,700-foot force main running along Route 370 from the Whispering Oaks development to the southern end of Dexter Parkway. Without the grant, residents of the development would have been responsible for the entire cost of the project. Project details include improvements to the existing pump station including the installation of new duplex submersible pumps with control panel and backboard, installation of a chlorine feed system, associated building, and emergency generator, demolition of existing pumps, bases and controls, removal of the existing absorption bed system and site reclamation. The estimated cost of the project is $1.21 million. While a four-inch force main would have been sufficient for the Whispering Oaks Sewer District, town officials chose to upgrade to a six-inch main to enable future developments to connect, and ultimately share the cost of the district. A public hearing regarding the Whispering Oaks Sewer District improvements will be held at 7:01 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 18) at the Lysander Town Hall, 8220 Loop Road in Radisson. Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and speak either in favor or against the proposed project.

Community News By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com

The Van Buren Town Board has instituted a town-wide hiring freeze. Supervisor Claude Sykes said considering the recently passed budget, officials want to ensure every position is “mission critical.” There will be no positions created and filled and any positions vacated during the freeze will remain vacant unless the town board deems them necessary. The only exception will be summer hires such as park and pool help, but these positions will also need to be approved by the board. VB seeks aid for trail Van Buren officials have applied for a grant to make improvements to the Erie Canalway Trail. Seeking $159,000, the town plans to use funds to build a handicap accessible restroom along the 12,400-foot portion of the trail in Memphis, as well as remove brush and sediment from the canal, resurface the stone dust trail and build two kayak/canoe launches. “The trail is in need of substantial rehabilitation to restore historical integrity,” said Town Attorney Jeff Brown. Should the grant be awarded, the town would be responsible for 20 percent of the project cost that can be completed through inkind services, which means no out-of-pocket costs for the town. Brown said the town should know in two to three months whether the grant will be awarded. Dangerous intersection under review New York State Department of Transportation is reviewing the intersection of River Road and Route 31, specifically the north-bound River Road lane designated for vehicles turning left onto Route 31. According to Supervisor Barry Bullis, there have been numerous head-on collisions where vehicles turning left onto Route 31 have collided with vehicles traveling south on River Road. He said because of the lane-configuration, motorists in the northbound lane believe they have the right-of-way when turning left. “The DOT recognized there is a problem and are doing something about it,” he said, adding the solution would be to assign a dedicated left arrow on the northbound River Road traffic light, and a timing adjustment. Village announcements Reminder to residents that there is no parking on village streets from 1:30 to 6 a.m. now through April 15. Due to staffing changes, the Baldwinsville Police Department’s office hours have changed from 8 a.m. to midnight to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Emergency contact still available 24/7.

The Baldwinsville Public Library celebrated the opening of its public computing center and business resource center with a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house last Friday. Using grant monies, the library expanded its reference area, training facility and added the new business resource center. “When the economy is tough, it is good to see the library take a proactive stance,” Assemblyman Will Barclay said during the ceremony. Mayor Joseph Saraceni added the library is a great resource for both village and greater Baldwinsville residents. “As a business owner, I will certainly utilize the new center,” he said. The library was recently awarded a $244,517 Public Computer Center grant as part of the broadbandexpress@yourlibrary project from the U.S. Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). It was one of 30 libraries across New York State to receive this federal stimulus grant, which will provide more than 860 computers in 30 libraries and five mobile training centers across 41

The business resource center will offer patrons a plethora of resources, in addition to mobile training laptops, a new SmartBoard, expanded hours and an increased number of computers available to the public. Overall, the grant will increase the library’s training abilities.

“I think this is one of the most advanced libraries in the county,” said Carl Lutz, the library’s network engineer. “They have always been ahead of the curve.” “It is a jewel in our community,” said Robert Manning, president of the library board of trustees.

Baldwinsville cub scouts learn about fire prevention Former Chief Courtney Rutherford recently gave a fire prevention talk to cub scouts, leaders and parents of Cub Scout Pack no. 71 Baldwinsville. With the aid of the Baldwinsville Volunteer Fire Company ladder company crew, Rutherford spoke and demonstrated some of the fire fighting equipment used by volunteer firefighters when battling fires. To ease any fears cub scouts may have should they need rescuing, the crew of the ladder truck also dressed in their personal protective gear to demonstrate what to visually expect during a rescue. Cub scouts and parents were then treated to the trucks emergency lights and the sound of the fire trucks emergency air horn and siren. The truck’s ladder was also fully extended to show the cubs its capabilities, which elicited amazement from the young spectators. Photos by Gary Williams, Baldwinsville Volunteer Fire Company

Opinion Editorial

Is it in the water?

Baldwinsville has topped its performance last year with four fall sports teams heading to the state championships this year. The Baldwinsville Boys Soccer team will head to the state championship in Middletown this weekend. The Baldwinsville Girls Soccer team heads to Cortland for the state finals starting on Friday. The Baldwinsville Girls Volleyball team will compete for the state championship in Glens Falls starting on Saturday. The Baldwinsville Boys Football team heads to Rochester Saturday night for the state semi-finals and, if they win, will head to the state championship the following weekend in the Carrier Dome. It is also worth noting that despite losing his shoe during the competition, Shaun Thompson, the senior cross country runner, finished third in the state championship last weekend after winning the Section III championship a week earlier. With the fall sports season coming to a close and semifinals and championship games getting underway, there will be a lot of excitement this weekend for the Baldwinsville Central School District. Rally behind our teams and show your support for these young athletes - Go Bees! Be sure to check out game results at baldwinsvillemessenger.com. In fact, due to next week’s holiday, production will take place before the games are determined, so results will not be published in our hard copy edition until the following week.

How to choose a financial professional As you navigate the financial world, you’ll most likely deal with a wide array of investment choices, constantly changing tax laws, estateplanning considerations and other issues. And then, to make things even more complex, you’ll have to consider your own risk tolerance, time horizon and individual goals. If you’re like most people, you don’t have the time and expertise to create, monitor and adjust your investment strategy by yourself, so you’ll need to get some help. But how can you choose a financial professional who is right for you? You’ll need to do some research, possibly by interviewing a few candidates. Here are a few questions you may want to ask: Do you have experience working with people like me? Ideally, you’d like to work with someone who has experience in helping people like you — that is, people with similar income and asset levels, family situations, goals and so on. The more familiar a financial professional is with people like you, the better that person will be at helping you identify the appropriate investment moves. Do you have a particular investment philosophy? Look for someone with a thoughtful, reasoned philosophy on investing. As a general rule, be suspicious of anyone promising you big, quick gains. The best financial

Kevin Wall Financial Focus professionals seek to help their clients achieve positive long-term results through disciplined, persistent and sensible investment moves. How often will you communicate with me? If you’re going to entrust your hard-earned financial resources with someone, you’ll want that person to communicate with you regularly as to how you’re doing and what changes you may need to make. How often will you receive investment statements? How many times a year will you meet to review your progress? Can you have face-to-face consultations whenever you need them? These are the types of questions you’ll want to ask any prospective financial advisor. Will you be my primary contact? If you seek a one-on-one relationship with a financial professional, you’ll want that person to be your main contact, if not your exclusive one. You deserve the attention and expertise of a financial professional, so if you’re interviewing someone who seems as if he or she might try

to “pass you along” to subordinates in the office, keep looking. What services do you offer? If you want your financial professional to help you create a unified investment strategy, you’ll also want that person to help you implement it, which means he or she needs access to a full range of investment and money management products and services. How are you paid? Financial professionals are compensated in a number of ways. They may work strictly on commissions, or they may work on a fee-only basis, with the fee either agreed upon in advance or based on the level of assets under management. And some financial professionals work in a combined fee-and-commission arrangement. From an investor’s point of view, one method of compensation may not be “better” than the others; nonetheless, it’s important for you to fully understand how your financial advisor will be paid. By doing your homework in advance, you can develop a solid relationship with a qualified financial professional — someone who will be with you far into the future.

From the mailbag Thank you to the voters in the 120th To the editor: I want to take this opportunity to thank the voters in the 120th Assembly District for their support on Election Day. During the campaign, we spent the past six months listening to my constituents, to their fears and frustrations – and yes, anger. What I learned by meeting with people on their doorsteps, at regular meetings and through mailings will be brought to Albany this coming session. Since 1998, my focus as a member of the New York State Assembly has been on revitalizing our local economy, providing tax relief, investing in quality education and improving health care. I am grateful that my constituents have confidence in and see the positive outcomes of my efforts. In the next term, I plan on further working on these issues, as well as serving the state as Chair of the Assembly’s Veterans Affairs Committee. I look forward to representing the 120th Assembly District – to the best of my ability – in the coming session. I am honored to represent the 120th Assembly District. William B.

Baker High School students Michael Muldoon, left, and James Lang, teach numbers in German to Brandon Gee, a second-grader at Elden Elementary. This fall, students studying German 4 at the high school spent time in the second-grade classrooms of the elementary school, teaching the younger students songs, colors and shapes, all in the German language. It was part of a language enrichment exercise for the high school students as well as for the elementary students. The Baker students worked in groups of two or three and prepared their own professional lesson plans incorporating visual aids such as flash cards and posters that they made themselves.

On Friday Nov. 12, construction began at Baker High School. This is part of phase 1 of the Baldwinsville Central School District’s 2008 Capital Project, which voters approved in December 2008. As of Nov. 12, the main entrance of the high school will be closed for construction. The main entrance for students and visitors will be located at exit 23, which is the door near the school nurse’s office at the north end of the building near the quad. Visitors will still be required to sign into the building with a driver’s license. Between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., visitors and parents dropping off and picking up students should not park in or enter the bus loop of Baker High School. Bus traffic is the only traffic allowed in the loop during these hours. For safety reasons, parents are asked to drop off and pick up their children in the parking lot behind the high school, rather than on the main road of the district campus. Visitor parking is located in the quad.

The district has been reviewing and fine tuning traffic changes on the main campus that were implemented at the start of the school year. For safety reasons, and because of the closure of Baker’s main entrance, as of Dec. 1, the traffic pattern for buses in Baker’s bus loop will change. Buses will enter the loop from the north end and they will exit at the south end and proceed to Durgee Junior High School. At the junior high school, buses will enter the bus loop from the north end and exit the loop at the south end, on to Albert Palmer Lane to leave the district campus. Durgee parents are asked to drop off and pick up their children in the school’s main parking lot. On the district campus, cars continue to pass school buses that have their flashing lights on. Please remember that it is illegal in New York State to pass a school bus while its lights are flashing, no matter where the bus is stopped, even when it is in front of a school building. Flashing lights indicate that students are either boarding or exiting a bus.

Originally hired as a mechanic in 1988, Markham became foreman in mid 1990s. His position encompassed taking care of highway functions such as road, storm sewer, culvert and park maintenance including the trail system, which Markham considers a highlight of the village. “[The trails] were designed to make the village a showplace,� he said. In fact, his most memorable experience as foreman is the Southshore West Trail, a project that gives him a sense of ownership. “It was the first trail I was in charge of building,� Markham said. “I was there everyday for a complete summer. I enjoyed that the most because it was the first.� In addition to the trails, Markham considers the trees to be another feature that makes the village attractive. “We’ve been a tree city for 23 consecutive years,� he said, adding that the DPW is also responsible for caring for village trees. “We take down old trees, trim them, anything to do with the tree itself.�

From page 1

While caring for the village has been a big part of his job, Markham said what he enjoyed most was learning to talk to the public. “When I first started the job, I wasn’t as adept at talking to the public. Now I truly enjoy talking to the public,� Markham said. “You can’t tell people what they want to hear all the time, but in the end, you don’t feel bad about telling them that you couldn’t do it.�

When it comes to retiring, Markham said he would miss the routine. “I’ve worked my entire life,� he said. “I don’t know what it’s going to be like not to do anything when I get up in the morning. I’m always thinking a week, month, year in advance – what needs to be done. Probably what I’ll miss the most is the planning process I go through.� While Markham and his wife, Peg, plan to enjoy his retirement by traveling more and spending time with their two grandchildren, he will remain involved with the village as a founding member of Celebrate Baldwinsville and a member of the Baldwinsville Memorial Day Parade Committee. He would even consider positions in village government such as the planning board. “I definitely want to stay involved with the village,� he said. “I think I have a good sense of common sense.�

Bees pull away from Corning in regionals By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

True, it’s difficult to imagine that anyone as special as the Baldwinsville football team could feel like something - or more specifically, someone - was missing as it battled its way to its second consecutive Section III Class AA championship. Yet it was quite apparent, in the wake of the Bees’ 49-20 conquest of Section IV champion Corning in Saturday’s AA regional final at East Syracuse-Minoa Stadium, that the return of that missing piece turned an already great team into something much greater. Sophomore sensation Tyler Rouse, who had missed most of the Bees’ sectional semifinal win over Fayetteville-Manlius and all of its nail-biting 15-13 thriller over CBA in the sectional finals with a concussion, was back - and did he ever have an impact on the outcome. First, there was the ground game. From small, meaningful gains to a pair of spectacular long touchdown runs in the fourth quarter that sealed victory, Rouse didn’t stop until he had picked up 213 yards on 21 carries, offering a lethal complement to fellow back Parker Kiff, who managed 119 yards on 18 carries and added a touchdown. “Tyler has got that spring

back in his step,” said head coach Carl Sanfilippo. “He’s a good back, and he is doing his job well.” As usual, Rouse paid full complements to his highly-regarded offensive line - Nick Robinson, Matt Moreland, Ryland Jennings, Jake Margrey and Joe Tanguay - while saying it was fun to play again. Corning, of course, would disagree, and never more so than in the closing seconds of the first half, just after the Hawks had seized a 20-14 lead with Jordan Frysinger’s long interception return that set up his own four-yard touchdown run. Rouse, who had landed his own TD on a six-yard run a few minutes earlier, received the kickoff at his own 25-yard line. He said he wanted to run right, but when he saw the blockers open up a hole on the left side, Rouse cut back - and before Corning knew it, Rouse was gone to the end zone. That 75-yard kick return for a touchdown, finished off mere seconds before halftime, completely swung the game in the Bees’ favor. “That (return) was the game,” said Sanfilippo. Instead of trailing, B’ville went the break with a 21-20 lead, and would never get caught. It helped that the Bees’ defense, which (except for Ben Paprocki’s interception) had all kinds of trouble

dealing with Corning’s team speed, clamped down and forced a pair of key fumbles deep in its own territory that Mark Stanard and Steve Mitchell would recover, both leading to scoring drives on B’ville’s part. For the game, Nate Stoughtenger led with 10 tackles, while Mitchell and Margrey each notched nine tackles and Robinson added eight tackles. Those turnovers also negated the 385 yards of offense Corning put up as quarterback Brandon Griffin ran for 165 yards on 18 carries and Frysinger had 112 yards before leaviing the game in the third quarter with a knee injury.

Casey Colligan ran five yards for the Bees’ first TD in the opening period. Late in the third quarter, from Corning’s 26, Colligan threw a wobbly pass that looked up for grabs - until Tyler Russell shook loose from his defender, ran back to catch it, then sprinted to the end zone for a crucial TD that made it 35-20. Rouse then put it away in his own unique way. He took a toss from midfield and streaked 49 yards to the end zone with 7:23 to play, and capped off his triumphant return by outrunning all the Corning defenders on a 64-yard TD sprint with 2:52 left. Now Rouse, and the

Field hockey Bees fall in regional playoffs By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

No one on the Baldwinsville field hockey team wanted the joyous, historic excursion through the 2010 season to end. Yet it did end last Tuesday night in the Class A regional playoffs, where Section IV champion Greene, playing on its home turf, beat the Bees 1-0 in overtime. Just three days after securing its first-ever Section III title over Rome Free Academy, B’ville found itself confronting the first of a two-step regional process if it wanted to go to CiceroNorth Syracuse’s Bragman

Stadium for this weekend’s state final four. And it involved beating Greene, a well-regarded Southern Tier power with the rare advantage of playing on its home field – something that didn’t prove all that advantageous for the Trojans over the 60 minutes of regulation. The two sides set a quick pace, exchanging runs at the net. B’ville’s defense had to be good – and the back line of Sierra Earle, Nicole Piontkowski, Andrea Davaro and Liz Ventura kept flicking away all of Greene’s opportunities. By the same token, every time Lindsay Varga, Paige Corso and the rest of B’ville

attackers had a chance to work in the Trojans’ end, it met with frustration, as regulation play ended 0-0. Now it went to overtime, and a seven-on-seven format. It was a similar scenario in the sectional Class A semifinals where B’ville had won over Liverpool, 1-0, but this match would turn out different. Greene found room for a fast break – and before the Bees could react, the Spartans’ Andrea Day had put a shot past B’ville goalie Lindsay Farrell into the cage for the game-winner. So ended the Bees’ 15-4 campaign, which might be tough for coach James Hanley to replicate in 2011.

No less than 11 seniors depart, including Varga, Ventura, Earle, Davaro, Natalie Lynch and Emily Brissenden. Farrell, Corso and Piontkowski lead the list of returnees, but finding the same kind of depth that produced this championship season will be a real test. In alumni news, two B’ville graduates, Abby Sayler and Alyson Tarney, helped Geneseo State College’s field hockey team go 18-2 this season and win the SUNYAC championship. It lost in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs to Stevens Institute by that all-too-familiar 1-0 margin.

rest of the Bees, go back to Rochester’s Marina Auto Stadium, where it lost in last year to eventual champion North Tonawanda, and meeet Rush-Henrietta (Section V) next Saturday at 6 p.m. in the state Class AA semifinals. The Royal Comets held off Clarence 42-34 in the West regional

final. The winner here goes to the Nov. 28 state final in the Carrier Dome. Having been here before, Sanfilippo said his team clearly wants more than just a regional championship. “It’s not enough just to be here,” he said. “We’ve got to finish the journey.”

B’ville earns fourth straight boys soccer AA title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

No amount of interpretation was required when the Baldwinsville boys soccer team collectively held up four fingers at the end of Monday night’s 2-1 victory over Fayetteville-Manilus in the Section III Class AA finals at Liverpool High School. After five long decades without a championship, the Bees had now claimed its fourth consecutive sectional title, and in the most dramatic way possible as Stefan Merchant notched the game-winning goal with 27.3 seconds left in regulation. “It’s unbelievable,� said head coach Tim Scheemaker. “And it says a lot for the soccer community in Baldwinsville.� Many in that community filled the stands at Liverpool for this, the Bees’ third sectional final against F-M in its four-year run. And it all came down to one fateful free kick as regulation time wound down. From 40 yards out, and left of the net, Mike Guardino lobbed the free kick into a crowd of Bees and Hornets players in front of F-M goalkeeper Ryan Carter. Merchant, among that crowd, said he stood and watched as Alex Bono, the one-time goalie turned

forward, got a piece of the ball and hit it toward him. “Alex got a touch (on it),� said Merchant. “I fired and hit it as hard as I could.� Merchant did better than that, beating Carter as the ball tumbled into the net. Seconds later, the Bees had that fourth sectional title, and the fourth for a B’ville team in as many days following the successes in girls soccer, field hockey and football. The situation for B’ville exactly mirrored 2009, where F-M won both regular-season meetings, but the Bees won the sectional final. Here, it had happened again, the Hornets squeaking out 1-0 and 2-1 victories in evenly played regularseason showdowns. Again, though, it would turn in the third and most important meeting. But it didn’t happen right away. Indeed, it was F-M dominating the game’s early stages with a series of attacks that culminated when, just 3:19 into the game, Brian Ward fed Joe Mahr, whose shot slipped off the hands of goalie Andrew Coughlin and found the net. “The goal woke us up,� said Scheemaker. “We started playing again. They (F-M) started sitting back, and that gave us confidence. I was happy with our response.�

In short, the response was B’ville picking up heavy pressure on the Hornets, Ben Ramin providing the big spark. In fact, it was Ramin who, in the 15th minute, offered a deft pass to a wide-open Dan Knight, who beat Carter for the tying goal. From there, it settled into a long stalemate that lasted more than an hour of game time. Other than a handful of pushes, F-M found itself in a constant defensive mode, successfully turning away chances, but rarely threatening the Bees. “They (B’ville) were the better team tonight,� said F-M head coach Jeff Hammond. “They were better with the ball, and they dealt better with the pressure.� Indeed, the pressure grew as the game entered its late stages. B’ville nearly went ahead with 5:50 left and it was Merchant whose touch shot beat Carter, but banged off the right post, without a rebound. Five minutes later, Merchant atoned - and B’ville was again on its way to the state Class AA playoffs. In the Class AA regional finals, Baldwinsville defeated Saratoga Springs 3-2, advancing to the state final four for the third year in a row.

Girls soccer Bees smash way to state final four By Jeff Brewster Leaving little in the way of doubt, the Baldwinsville girls soccer team easily secured its second visit to the state Class AA final four in three years. To get there this time, the Bees had to conquer Section II Bethlehem in the AA regional finals Saturday at Fulton - which it did with a first-half offensive surge that the Eagles could not match, leading to a 3-0 victory. Though the game was an evenly contested battle, with both teams playing all-out, the difference in the game was a series of quick goals by B’ville in the first half, all in a span of 16 minutes, to secure regional honors. The Bees, 18-1 coming into the game, got out early and attacked the entire first half, although they didn’t

score a goal until close to the midway point of the first half. With 20:25 remaining in the half, Angelica Romeu received a pass and found herself behind the Bethlehem defense on the right side of the field. Seeing a clear path to the goal, Romeu fired away and knocked in a sharp shot, giving the Bees a 1-0 lead. Just eight minutes later, the Bees were right back at it as the ball was consistently in Bethlehem’s end of the field. An array of passing led to another goal for the Bees as Erin Ward scorched the ball into the net to extend Bville’s lead to 2-0. And eight minutes after that, with 4:43 to play in the half, B’ville found itself with another great scoring opportunity. Emma Firenze, who had the winning goals in each of the Bees’ two previous playoff wins, took

the pass and moved up field before firing a rocket toward the net. The kick sailed in, which gave B’ville the margin it would hold the rest of the afternoon. Bethlehem came out aggressively in the second half in an attempt to rally. But Bville’s defense also turned up the intensity and, led by Sarah Lindovski and Alexis Czyz, did a good job of keeping Bethlehem out of its end of the field to preserve the shutout. B’ville moves to 19-1 on the season and will play next Friday against Long Island champion Massapequa in Friday’s state Class AA semifinals at SUNY-Cortland. The championship game is on that same Cortland campus next Saturday at 1 p.m., with the B’villeMassapequa winner getting North Rockland or Webster Thomas.

Wednesday night in the Section III Class AA final at Cicero-North Syracuse’s gymnasium, it completed a second consecutive year where it did not lose a single game to any Central New York opponent. At the same time, B’ville provided the exclamation point to the school’s extraordinary feat of seeing five teams (in girls soccer, field hockey, football, boys soccer and girls volleyball) and one individual (cross country runner Shaun Thompson) earn sectional championships in a span of six days. Of course, none of those teams have dominated for as long as the volleyball Bees, but head coach Mary Jo Cerqua said the winning feeling “never gets old. It’s a big deal for us, and a big deal for the school.� B’ville simply refused to surrender any game at any time, and this despite the fact that it had just four players back from the 2009 squad that performed the same feat on its way to the same final. That quartet - Brianna Stewart, Allegra Bell, Paulina Rein and Sydniee Hamm - led the way again. “The main thing (that keys our success) is that we are all like a family, and we all work hard to be our best,� said Stewart. “We practice hard (too), and

that shows on the court.� Indeed, Stewart was in top form on this night against Liverpool, recording 30 assists, an average of 10 assists per game. “She leads with her play calling and she’s a quarterback for us,� said Cerqua. Up front, Rein finished with 12 kills, adding eight digs. Hamm had seven kills, while Sarah Klaben played superb defense, earning nine digs. Emily Walser contributed five kills and three aces, while libero Becca Maher was superb on the back line and Liz Giromini offered up a series of big serves that led to long point runs. B’ville broke out of a 4-4 tie in the first game by going on an 8-1 run, the first of many big spurts that included a 6-0 streak near the end of a comfortable 25-14 decision. Only in the second game did any real danger pop up, as Liverpool took a 6-3 lead, only to have the Bees reel off seven straight points on Walser’s serve to move in front for good and eventually prevail 25-18. The third game mirrored the first, with an early 4-4 deadlock, followed by a B’ville breakout when, up 11-8, it reeled off 10 of the next 11 points, closing out the match - and the sectional championship - with a 25-12 romp.

Now the Bees moved on to face Section II champion Shenendehowa Saturday at Union College in Schenectady – where it pulled off another sweep, beating the Plainswomen 25-9, 25-6, 25-11. Hamm had 10 kills, with Klaben adding three kills and Stewart recording 26 assists. So B’ville is back in Glens Falls for the state championships, participating in a round robin with Horseheads, Webster Schroeder, Arlington and Lindenhurst on Saturday, the two survivors advancing to Sunday’s championship match. Cerqua said this team could take that final step to the top. “We have been close before,� she said. “But if they can continue what they’ve been doing on the defensive side, they can win any championship.� On a related note, the strength of B’ville’s program is reflected in the fact that five different alums of the program started as liberos this season in the college ranks – Erika VanValkenburg (senior, Union College), Katie Mahar (junior, Roberts Wesleyan), Laura Galivin (sophomore, SUNY-Geneseo), Erin Carrino (sophomore, SUNYCortland) and Carrie Hack (freshman, SUNY-New Paltz).

I learned what it’s like to be a part of something important, what it’s like to be part of a team, a team that became a family. We never relied on one person, we played as one, all 14 of us, playing with one heart. When life throws you a curveball, make sure to take your best swing. How we deal with loss builds character. Be the optimist, find the positive, and rebuild. For some, volleyball is over. For others, it may have just begun. There’s much to be learned from a loss. Remember, it’s all

When life throws you a curveball, each individual copes with it differently. Some get hit hard, while others call it a night and move on. The Baldwinsville boys volleyball team learned this lesson first hand last week, when they fell short in their Section III Class AA semifinal match against the Central Square Red Hawks. It was just not our night. Unfortunately, we picked the wrong time to come out a little flat. Kudos should go to Central Square, though. They came to win, played hard, and persevered. The riveting match went five sets, 25-23, 20-25, 22-25, 25-21, 25-19. With that, our season came to an end in a disappointing loss to a team we could have beaten. Reflecting back on the season, B’ville has no reason to hang their heads. The team finished 10-2 in Section III, placed third in a competitive tournament in Victor, and most importantly, built friendships to last a lifetime. Our team, this year, had great chemistry. We had a saying that, “Chemistry is not just a class; it’s our key to success.” Unfortunately, the team came up just a little short. Even though this season ended much too soon, we continue to make strides in a positive direction. This fall was B’ville’s fourth

year with a boys’ volleyball program. It has grown tremendously and continues to develop, on and off the court. This year, Baldwinsville hosted a match against Oswego Sept. 27, in which the team donated $275 in proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Our JV and varsity teams also traveled to Midlakes, in October, to support breast cancer awareness and Volley for a Cure. Let’s recognize and give credit to our dedicated coaches, Dan Hyland and Glenn Gesek, who have brought our program so far in such a short period of time. As high school volleyball winds down, it is easy to remember the highs and lows of a season. Senior night against Cicero-North Syracuse was bittersweet. It was undoubtedly a night to remember, filled with passion and intensity, some of the best volleyball of the season. We took them to a fifth set and regrettably couldn’t put them away. That evening, we also honored nine graduating seniors. They are, unmistakably, the best group of guys and will be missed. In addition, many thanks go out to our parents and fans for all their support throughout the year. Winning a sectional title, in 2009, only shows that a team can win. It doesn’t reveal the bonds that are made and what one learns

Frank M. Winters, 97

Avid golfer, Yankee fan

Frank M. Winters, 97, of Onondaga Hill and formerly of B aldwinsFrank M. ville, passed Winters away Monday Nov. 8, 2010, at Community-General Hospital after a brief illness.

This fall, three of the district’s elementary schools have been promoting exercise through running. At Reynolds Elementary, students and staff members can participate in a fun run every week. Physical education teacher Colleen Natale encourages the whole school to join her outside every Wednesday to get their hearts pumping at the end of the day. Palmer Elementary students are encouraged to

The club meets three times a week before school begins. Students run outside, and if the weather is inclement, they do activities in the gym. For the second consecutive year, a group of students from Van Buren

Elementary participated in the MVP Health Care 3K Fun and Fitness Run on Oct. 3. The run emphasized the importance of physical activity for health rather than for competition. Each runner wore a bib with a number one on it to indicate that everyone is a winner when they participate in physical activity.
