Before enjoying a family feast, hundreds will first run for children tomorrow. The 42nd annual Baldwinsville Kiwanis Turkey Trot will be held Thanksgiving morning at Baker High School. Featuring a 5K, 10K and half-mile Kids Fun Run,
the race has become a tradition for generations. “This race is important to the community, not only for the proceeds raised, but for plain old camaraderie,� said Tony Saraceni, the chairman of the Baldwinsville Kiwanis Turkey Day Race Committee and a Baldwinsville Kiwanis member. “Over the years, families and friends have made it a tradition to reunite for the See Turkey, page 9
Bad drivers accrue most arrests By Katrina Koerting A tragedy occurred at the end of October when Sonya Phillips pulled out in front of Steve Teachout, a motorcyclist traveling south along Route 48 in Van Buren. The accident resu lte d in Teachout’s death. Phillips was driving with a suspended license. According to Baldwinsville Police Chief Michael Lefancheck, aggravated unlicensed operation (AUO) is the most common arrest in Baldwinsville. This is when a person is driving with a suspended license, which usually occurs
when a driver fails to pay a fine or doesn’t appear in court regarding a traffic ticket, or without a license. Between 150 and 200 people are arrested each year with AUO charges, Lefancheck said. It is also more common to find operators driving with a suspended license rather than without a license. If a person is caught operating a vehicle with a suspended license or with no license, they’ll receive a ticket for AUO, in addition to the offense they were pulled over for. Most of the time, these drivers are caught because of traffic crimes. There are also some drivers the

Officials have approved the 2011 Lysander town budget. Ac c ord i ng to Ly s and e r 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. The tax rate for village residents within the town of Lysander is $.62 per $1,000 in home value (2010 rate was $.80/1000); the tax rate for Lysander residents outside the village is $.71/1000 (2010 rate was $.88/1000); and the highway tax rate is $.62/1000 (2010 rate was $.91/1000). The estimated town tax on a $100,000 home is $132, which is $47 less than last year’s taxes. “I think the board could have done a better job with the budget considering the current See Budget, page 9

A licensed driver can come and get the car or, if the AUO has reached a certain level, then the car has to be impounded.

Give thanks Many of us will sit down tomorrow to give thanks before sharing a bountiful meal with family and friends. We will give thanks for the meal, for the family who supports us, for the blessings we have received. For some, however, this season isn’t as promising, at least not so without the help of others. Every year, the Baldwinsville Christmas Bureau collects food and gifts the month prior to Christmas, then distributes it to Baldwinsville families in need. Volunteers are currently working to ensure participating families don’t go hungry, and that their children receive gifts Christmas morning. While the Christmas Bureau is successful in helping hundreds each year, the group still needs help from the community, namely volunteers and donations. Help a struggling family this year – either donate your time receiving and organizing donations, or give a donation to the Christmas Bureau. The Christmas Bureau accepts all donations including financial. You are also welcome to visit the drop-off destination to get gift ideas, such as books and toys. While you are there, feel free to help volunteers sort and pack donations. The donation drop off is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays from Nov. 29 through Dec. 18 at the building next to TOPS grocery store in River Mall.

An Empire worth saving As you can probably tell, summers are, for me, a quieter time – maybe too quiet. One can only play so much golf before the desire to watch other, far more talented athletes compete for high honors takes over again. Fortunately, there was something to quench that thirst for competition at the tail end of July with the Empire State Games. Not only was covering it great fun, but seeing familiar faces in a grand and exciting setting served as a reunion of sorts. Note that I talk about this in the past tense – which is, at best, sad and, at worst, shameful. You might have heard that the state, citing its well-documented budgetary issues, pulled the plug on the ESG last week, just as plans were being made for next year. That means no Winter Games in Lake Placid. No Senior Games, either. No Games for the Physically Challenged. And no Summer Games in Rochester, completing the wipeout. Part of what makes this news so jarring and depressing is that the open wounds of the ESG, made plain when the planned Summer Games in the Hudson Valley in 2009 got canceled, appeared to be healing. They put on a great show in Buffalo last summer. Without asking for a big ransom (sorry, participation fee), but with a great deal of First Niagara and other corporate money, the summer version of the ESG thrived, and even turned a profit for the local organizing committee. No doubt, the folks in Rochester were ready to do better in 2011 – if only they got the chance. What went wrong? You can point fingers in a thousand different directions, but I’m pretty sure most of the fingers (I’m not telling you which finger to use) will get aimed at Albany, always an easy target in times good and bad.
Phil Blackwell Random Thoughts Here, though, the odium is justified. Our state got into fiscal trouble for all kinds of reasons, and all kinds of things can be done to even things out. But why go after the Empire State Games? You see, their impact went far beyond a line in a budget. Their mere presence, for one week every summer, electrified the areas in which they were held. Thousands of athletes and families and friends came to town, plugged their hardearned money into the economy, and had a great time. The competition wasn’t bad, either. Whether in dark blue (Western), light blue (Central), black and gold (Adirondack), green and gold (Hudson Valley), blue and orange (New York City) or red and silver (Long Island), the battle for medals and regional pride was real and intense, without getting too crazy. Six different times, I had the good fortune of covering the ESG. They had pristine blue skies in 1999 in the Mohawk Valley, reasonable heat in two trips to Binghamton and a stint in Rochester, ungodly heat in Syracuse in 2002 and a real homecoming last summer in Buffalo. No, it wasn’t perfect, and sometimes the driving around got a bit repetitive, but the winning spirit of the athletes, and the warmth and energy that hundreds of volunteers poured into their duties, were just as memorable as the medals being won. Maybe there’s a way this can all come back. Buffalo showed a partial template, only relying on $1 million
or so of state money and getting the rest through private means. Even in trying economic times, this is a good, positive event that corporations should feel good about getting behind. In the meantime, maybe we can fire up some good old-fashioned populism and get our state officials riled up about this. And maybe there’s an ally right near the top. As noted, the ESG Summer Games of 2011 were set for Rochester. And its mayor, Robert Duffy, just received a promotion – to lieutenant governor, no. 2 behind Andrew Cuomo. In the immediate aftermath of the ESG cancellation notice, Duffy said he was “certain that the incoming administration will revisit this decision after Jan. 1.” That leaves five weeks, folks. Five weeks for athletes and officials from across the state to put their geographic, economic and sociological differences aside and work together to put some pressure on the powers-to-be (Cuomo, Duffy and every state legislator) to bring the ESG back. The point is to be loud, and consistent, and insistent. Tell them that, yes, the state has many, many problems, but that the ESG is not one of then. There’s no appreciable impact on taxpayers to fund it, and the goodwill generated by a new administration can’t hurt, either. In some form or another, funded in some way or another, the Empire State Games is a proud part of our athletic history. By getting pro-active to save them, we can make sure that the history can continue to be written, year by year, for a long time to come.

From the mailbag Thank you for support To the editor: I thank my constituents for electing me so that I can continue to work for them, and I also congratulate all others who were elected. As to those who are now going through tedious ballot counts and still do not have a final determination as to their fate, I wish them well. A special thanks to all volunteers who put up signs, passed out materials, stood out in the cold as human billboards, assisted in mailings and did everything necessary to win an election. Many of these volunteers have been helping me for years and I truly appreciate everything they’ve done. I stand ready to work with our new governor who has pledged to put New York’s financial house in order by cutting state spending and making New York more attractive in creating jobs, objectives that have been largely ignored over the last
two years, while we’ve been in a recession. It’s time to get the job done. John A. DeFrancisco New York State Senator
What happened to B’ville To the editor: What has happened to our town? Anyone driving through our village must think that we really don’t care about our appearance. Yes, we had a bad fire a few years ago, and finally, finally, something is being done about it and construction has started in cleaning it up, but look how long it has taken. That is just the icing on the cake. Take a drive or walk down our main streets and what do you see? A-frame signs all over our sidewalks. On Genesee Street, as you approach our town, we have a vacant building, which once housed Burger King. The appearance has gone to pot.
Now head towards the four corners and we see A-frame signs all up and down the street. In front of the Village Hardware, I counted four and they were in the middle of the sidewalk causing walkers to almost have to walk in the road to get around them. All the way up to the light, more signs of advertisements for businesses. Why? Then, when you get to the light, turning right or left, are signs, or better yet, appliances on our walkways for all to see. Makes our village look like a junk collector. Isn’t there any ordinances regarding this? I grew up in Baldwinsville and was proud to do so. Our education standards and sports teams excel. Why can’t our village do the same? It truly saddens and angers me to think we don’t care about our appearance any more. Wake up town officials and do something about it. Clean up your streets and make us See Mailbag, page 5

Support appreciated To the editor: I am writing to thank the voters of the 124th Assembly District for their support on Election Day. It has been a privilege to represent this area in the State Assembly and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve another term. In this next legislative session, I pledge to continue to do what I have been doing since I was first elected and that is to advocate for reform in Albany and reduce the tax burden on our already over-

Further, I will continue to support and introduce legislation that will implement policies that will cut the cost of energy for small businesses and lower property taxes to create a better environment for job creation. Since being elected, we have taken steps to achieving these goals but there is still much more to be done. I would also like to thank the many volunteers and committee members who assisted my campaign. Without their countless hours of hard work, I could have not been successful.

By Kelly Cary, BCSD
hen English teacher Michael Culhane spoke to his class at Baker High School about illiteracy in the United States, senior Maria Grammer was stunned to learn how many people cannot read. According to ProLiteracy, an organization that works all over the globe to teach adults to read, 30 million American adults over the age of 16 cannot read well enough to understand a newspaper story. Grammer wanted to do something meaningful in the Baldwinsville community to address this problem, but found she didn’t have the time to become a literacy volunteer. With the help of Patricia Gursky, a teacher aid in Baker High School’s library, Grammer developed a literacy service project to encourage children in the community to read. She’s noticed that many businesses and offices have a supply of toys readily available for children to keep them occupied. Why not give them the option to read as they wait, she wondered. Grammer’s idea is to get kids reading, no matter where they are. She also wants to provide a tangible sign of hope to children whose families cannot afford to purchase books. Grammer calls the project Books for Thoughts. “It’s like Toys for Tots, but with books,” she said. To collect books, Grammer has enlisted the help of the whole school. Book donation containers can be found in every homeroom. Students and staff are encouraged to donate new or used children’s books, and Grammer is going to reward the class that donates the most books with a cider and donut party. She even figured out how the books will be displayed and stored in the local businesses. She teamed up with technology teacher Maria Coglitore and her production systems students, who designed and built bookshelves and bookends for the local businesses that are accepting the books. Currently, these businesses are Colonial Laundromat, Koala Kare Daycare Center

If they don’t return the books, Grammer said it will be as if they are recycling them. She explained that regardless of where the donated books end up, they will continue to encourage children to read, and that is her ultimate goal. “It’s important to do something. It’s about getting in the community,” she said.

Stepping in someone else’s shoes Teenagers spend the night homeless for Rescue Mission
“One lady told me that she would pledge $10 if I spent the night and $15 if I spent the night without my cell phone,� said Melissa Voyer, 14, and one of the participants. “So I got the extra $5.� They raised $1,356.75 by collecting pledges from people in their community and friends. This is about double what they raised last year, said Voyer. They will present the money on Dec. 5 on channel 9 during the telethon for the rescue mission. All of the money will go to the Rescue Mission.
By Katrina Koerting Instead of spending Saturday night at the movies or the mall, eight ninth-grade girls and a chaperone spent last Saturday night outdoors in a cardboard box. “I don’t know how people do it everyday,� said one of the girls Kirby Socker, 14. In recognition of national hungry and homeless week, the ninth graders spent 12 hours in a homemade cardboard box, on Nov. 13, to raise money and awareness for the local rescue mission. They started at 7:30 p.m. and camped at the Belgium Cold Springs Fire Department between a dumpster and a shack, the girls said. National hungry and homeless week was recognized from Nov. 14 to 20. Their box was about 6 by 10feet and was not tall enough for them to stand in. It was held together with duct tape with a tarp for its roof, they said. The group said they decided to do this event because they were approached by the rescue mis-

Missing is Sarah Karl. sion to help and they wanted to do something that they could get pledges for, such as walking. “So, we decided to walk in a homeless person’s shoes,� said Grace Santoro, 14, one of the girls that participated.
The girls went the whole night, with nothing but a camera, blankets and some drinks. To help the time go by faster, they sang songs and tried to sleep, they said. “We didn’t think it was right to have food and drink,� Santoro
said. “It defeats the purpose.� Socker added, “If we’re sleeping outside, why not go the whole way?� All of the participants went the whole night without their phones.
Some of the Rescue Mission’s projects are feeding the homeless, driving around to take them off the street, providing a place to sleep and thrift stores, said Lisa Santoro, the troop leader for the girls. While all of the participants were senior scouts in Troop 166, it was not a Girl Scout event, due to Girl Scouts’ insurance policy, Santoro said. “We had helped at the Rescue Mission before and had learned it was a really great organization that helps people get on track,� she said. Santoro said she was very proud of the girls for sticking out See Stepping, page 15

efit Ronald McDonald Charities of Central New York, Kamp Kiwanis and other charities that help meet the needs of children. “Our mission in Kiwanis is to improve the life of children in the Baldwinsville and CNY area. All proceeds raised from this event go directly towards the local youth in our community. This is what makes not only the race, but the Kiwanis Club itself a great thing to participate in,” Saraceni said. In 2009, the Baldwinsville Kiwanis Club pledged $25,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of CNY to help build a new, larger Ronald McDonald House. The event also provides funding to send 12 local children to Kamp Kiwanis, a co-ed camp for children ages 8 to 14 that is aimed at providing fun, physical exercise and adventure. “The bottom line is the Baldwinsville Kiwanis is an organization that whole heartily focuses on providing resources for local children, no matter there situation, to improve there way of life,” Saraceni said. In addition to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of CNY, the Baldwinsville Kiwanis also donate to the March of Dimes, Toys for Tots, Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce Kids Fishing Derby, Van Buren Elementary Kindergarten Orientation, and many other organizations.
Drivers

Receiving two AUOs is a misdemeanor and receiving 10 is a felony. If the police need to get bail from the offender, then they will ride back to the station with the police, Lefancheck said. “We prefer for a licensed driver to come or we’ll park [the offender’s vehicle] in an area that the car can be legally parked in because it’s obviously an expense to the owner,” he added.
said unlicensed drivers or drivers operating vehicles with a suspended license are not involved in more accidents than other drivers. Incidentally, Phillips was scheduled to appear in Van Buren Court on Nov. 8 regarding charges in the accident, but failed to show. She was rescheduled to appear in court at 7 p.m. Dec. 13. According to court officials, the judge presiding over the case would not speak about the details of an ongoing case.

economic condition,” said resident Joe Coleman during the Nov. 18 public hearing, which was continued from Nov. 4. “I think it is good that you gave the taxpayers time to review the budget,” said Bill Palmer, after inquiring about salaries for various employees and the budgeted legal fees ($70,000) for the Budweiser litigation. He said the extra two weeks gave him time to take the budget home and review it.
Two items of contention at the hearing were the 2.5 percent across the board wage increase and the 100 percent health insurance coverage the town provides to all town employees. “You should give serious thought to modifying the budget and eliminating pay raises, if not this year, then next year,” said Tom McMahon. Officials present approved the budget unanimously.

or administrative costs associated with the project. During a public hearing held Nov. 18, engineers representing the town said the estimated construction cost for the project was $968,000 and the estimated engineering, legal and administrative costs were $242,000. Residents within the district will be responsible for costs the grant does not cover and officials are seek-
ing to finance the difference through the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund, which offers reduced interest rates. Considering an estimated 2.1 percent reduced rate, estimated costs per unit per year range from $711 (30-year term) to $822 (20-year term). Preliminary work still needs to be done; officials anticipate bidding the project in the summer of 2011.

race and run together before they indulge themselves in their turkey feast. It is great to see the same faces year in and year out.” “The most amazing aspect of the race is the dedication and commitment of all those that participate for our cause. Anytime you see a community come together in such large numbers to support a local charity, it is truly amazing,” he added. While the tradition has existed for years, there have been some minor changes resulting in greater participation. “The past few years we have spent a lot of time fine tuning the race to attract more runners,” Saraceni said. “Last year, we set a new record for participation with over 1,400 runners. Some of these changes include new timing technology to assure exact race times for our participants, online registration, long sleeve shirts to participants, fresh fruit and pizza for our finishers and more.” Even if you don’t run, Saraceni encourages people to come for the experience. “Come out to show your community spirit. I am sure that the event will bring a smile to your face and may even encourage you to get in shape,” Saraceni said. Registration is $25 on the day of the race.

Bees hold off Saratoga in soccer regionals
Thompson, minus shoe, gets third at state meet
When Tim Scheemaker walked back to his bench after post-game handshakes, he released a sigh of relief. Although the Baldwinsville boys soccer team successfully advanced to the Class AA state final four with a 3-2 victory over Section II champion Saratoga Springs on Nov. 13, it was a nerve-wracking finish for Scheemaker, the Bees‘ head coach. After dominating play for the first 50 minutes, the Bees saw a three-goal lead evaporate on two quick goals by the Blue Streaks. But in the end, the Bees withstood the second-half rally and nailed down the state regional win at Liverpool. “In the second half, I thought that we played okay,” he said. “It was a little of a survival mode. But we made enough plays to win.” Senior co-captain Dan Knight scored twice for the Bees including what turned out to be the deciding goal. Knight, who tallied only two goals in the regular season, has four markers in the post-season. “This is our third regional title in a row,” Knight said. “It feels good to actually be participating in states this year.” This is B’ville’s third straight state regional title but first trip to the state semifinals since 2008. The Bees (17-2-1) were coregional champs last year but failed to advance after losing to Shenendehowa on penalty kicks. The Bees advanced to play Clarence (Section
Perhaps with two shoes on his feet, Baldwinsville boys cross country runner Shaun Thompson arrives home with a New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class AA championship. As it was, Thompson still managed to get to third place in the Nov. 13 state AA race held at Lakeside Park in Pawling, near Poughkeepsie. But he had to watch a runner he beat in the Section III championships finish in front. Somewhere early in the state race, Thompson, a senior, lost his left shoe, and it caused him to lose ground behind Cicero-North Syracuse’s Chris Buchanan and Saratoga Springs’ Sam Place. Thomp-
VI) Saturday at Middletown High School in the state semifinals, with the championship game a day later (for a recap on those games, go to baldwinsvillemessenger.com). Knight, a central midfielder, scored the game’s first goal at the 35-minute mark. He gained control of the ball in the middle and popped it home for a 1-0 lead. Ben Ramin got credit for the assist. B’ville made Saratoga chase the ball around with its organized attack. The Bees added on another goal 10 minutes later. Midfielder Casey Murphy launched a corner kick into the box and Michael Guardino used his right foot to flick the ball in to put Baldwinsville up 2-0. With a 2-0 halftime lead, the Bees were in a comfort zone. Unlike the Blue Streaks, who were making their state playoff debut after advancing on eight rounds of penalty kicks against Ballston Spa Nov. 10, the Bees were familiar with their surroundings at Liverpool High School as well as the pressure of playing in the regionals. The Bees appeared to have the game in hand when Knight kicked in his second goal to give the Bees a 3-0 lead with 28 minutes to play. But the Blue Streaks had other ideas. Saratoga Springs tallied its first goal with 21:36 left when John Lahut chipped a ball up to Ercan Kilic, who put it away. It was only the ninth goal given up all year by the Bees. The goal ignited the
Blue Streaks, who stunned the Bees by scoring again 29 seconds later. Morgan Smith dribbled toward the goal on a breakaway and left-footed a shot into the net after a defensive breakdown. Senior goalkeeper Andrew Coughlin, who is headed to Syracuse University, said the Bees didn’t panic after two goals in less than a minute. “Wouldn’t say I was nervous but after the second one, it was a little shaky and we had a meeting,” Coughlin said. After the Smith goal, the Bees players gathered around the 40-yard line and reminded each other to mark up and stay with their runners. Coughlin finished with three saves. “They are a great team,” Coughlin said. “They saw our weakness was the big ball over the top and they kept playing it. They played real well in the second half.” “After they got that second goal the captains got them together,” Scheemaker said. “I didn’t have to shout too much to them because I knew that they were taking care of it.” But what looked like a B’ville rout suddenly became a tense match at the 21-minute mark. After the second goal with so much time left in regulation, Scheemaker put all of his starters back in to get control of the game. “We got a little content,” Knight said. “It’s hard to say sometimes. We kept our heads and held down the victory. It was good to get that third goal.”

son had topped Buchanan on Nov. 6 to win the sectional Class AA race at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill. To his credit, Thompson found his top speed again and hit the line in 16 minutes, 0.7 seconds. It still wasn’t quite enough as Buchanan, in a time of 15:55.9, edged Place (15:56.7) to earn the state title. Earlier that morning, in the state Class AA girls championship at Pawling, B’ville eighth-grader Rachael Miller made her debut on this big stage. In a time of 20 minutes, 15.7 seconds, Miller took 55 th place, fourth among eighth-grade runners as Saratoga’s Estela Smith (17th, 18:54.8) fared best in her age group. Fayetteville-Manlius stars Christie Rutledge (17:31.0) and Jillian Fanning (17:46.1) went 1-2, leading the Hornets to a fifth consecutive state title.

Christmas Bureau seeks help, donations Submitted by Bonnie Kisselstein
By Kelly Cary, BCSD
Baldwinsville Christmas Bureau once again needs your help. Part of the Baldwinsville Volunteer Center, it has been at work for some time preparing for this year. All kinds of donations are needed, but this year it appears that the biggest needs will be food and new books for all ages as our major sources from years past will not be contributing this year. All kinds of food is needed, but in past years donations for the following items have been limited: cakes mixes and frosting, brownie mixes, coffee, tea, large cans of beans, gravy, spaghetti sauce and pasta, canned fruit, boxed potatoes, rice, cereal, pancake mix/syrup, crackers, cookies and peanut butter and jelly – both large and small jars. All contributions are welcome. Don’t like to shop? Drop by with a monetary donation and the volunteers will take care of it. Need ideas? Stop by and see what is needed (for example, boots and coats are often requested by families). Have a couple of hours free? Volunteer to help sort or pack. Drop off is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays from Nov. 29 through Dec. 18 at the building next to TOPS grocery store in River Mall. Call the Volunteer Center at 638-0251 with questions or to volunteer.
Baker High School will present “Our Town� at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 and 4 in the school auditorium.

BYSA names new board president Staff reports Baldwinsville Youth Soccer Association (BYSA) named Pete Simmonds as the new president of the board at October board meeting. Simmonds replaces outgoing Board President Hugh Goodridge, who has accepted a position as board secretary for New York State West Youth Soccer Association. “We are confident Pete will bring a lot of enthu-
siasm to the position,” Goodridge said. “We’ve witnessed first-hand Pete’s passion for soccer over the past 10 years as a BYSA coach and board member.” As with most members of the BYSA Board, Simmonds began his time with BYSA as a volunteer parentcoach. BYSA encourages parents to become involved in the organization and has numerous specific and at-large board positions available for other parents
who would like to contribute to the operation of the league. “I thoroughly enjoy my time with BYSA and am looking forward to building on our reputation as a strongly-run organization providing service to the soccer community in greater Baldwinsville,” Simmonds said. “We are proud that we have a program that has reached thousands of players over the years, giving them the opportunity to
learn about sportsmanship, teamwork and responsibility, both as players and as referees.” B YS A i s m i d - w a y through its 17th season of
operation and is one of NY State’s largest youth soccer programs, with almost 1,000 players per year. For the fourth consecutive year, BYSA has held online

For all of the participants, they said the hardest part was staying out in the cold night. To keep warm they huddled together in the box and had a burn barrel. Michele and Stephen Petrelli, some community members, also brought hot chocolate for the girls to help them stay warm during the night, they said. They had support from
They said another challenge they faced was trying to get people to understand why they were doing the night in the box instead of just collecting money. “It makes us feel good,” said Voyer. “We did something that helps people. We’re always trying to improve on the previous year.” The girls have already started talking about their plans for 2011. They decided a smaller box would be better and they want to open the event up to more people, particularly other Girl Scout troops. While they didn’t have fun during the event, they all agreed it was an experience they are glad they had and are willing to do it again. “It makes us thankful for what we have,” said Sarah Dugan. All of them said their beds never felt as nice as they did on Sunday when they got back from their night in the box. Voyer added, “We take things for granted.”
Santoro said she had a hard time making it through the night. “I didn’t sleep because I felt like Mama Bear,” she said. “Every noise woke me up. Being a mom, I couldn’t imagine sleeping with my family outside because we had no where to go.”

Socker saw an advantage with just collecting money instead of selling something for the Rescue Mission. “People didn’t have to buy anything so there wasn’t a fixed price,” she said. “People could give whatever they had. One person only had $1.75 in their wallet and gave that.” The girls also tried to get some of their friends to join them for the night but were unsuccessful. “A lot of people gave us money, but weren’t up to sleeping outside,” said Chrissy Linneneach, 14, and one of the participants. To advertise the event and promote awareness about the homeless, the group wore I love the Rescue Mission shirts, hung fliers and posters, made a Facebook event, and used word of mouth, they said.
other community members, especially Kevin Wisely, a past chief and a current volunteer for the Belgium Cold Springs Fire Dept. Wisely built a barricade around the box so no cars would interfere, secured the fire station as the location, got a burn barrel and kept checking on the group throughout the night, they said.

Banking lesson aims to prepare students for future By Kelly Cary, BCSD
how to write a check, and how debit cards work. Later in the course, FACS teacher Nadine Kerr will expand on Welles’ information and have the seventh-graders create a household budget and track expenses. The FACS Future course, new to students this year, will teach seventhgraders life skills and enable them to begin exploring careers.
Seventh-graders taking Ray Middle School’s FACS Future course are learning about the world of banking to prepare them for adulthood. Cheryl Welles, community relations director for Empower Federal Credit Union, recently spent three days with students to teach them how checking and savings accounts work,
