By Suzanne Ellis

he story of the birth of Jesus Christ will be brought to life during the third annual “Live Nativity� held from 3 to 5 p.m. Dec. 19 at Baldwinsville First United Methodist Church. The event, which includes refreshments and Christmas music inside the church, is free. It will be performed regardless of the weather. “Christmas is an exciting time in the life of the church,� said Rev. Jeff Hodge, director of Christian Activities and Family Ministries at the church. “Every December, we offer this retelling of the beautiful Christmas story as a gift to our community.� The story of the nativity will play out during guided tours that stop at a number of indoor and outdoor scenes around the church at the corner of West Genesee and Charlotte streets in the center of the village of Baldwinsville. Something new this year is the “Bethlehem Marketplace,� which will feature shops, street vendors and visits from the travelers who are reporting for the mandated census. Those familiar with the Christmas story from the gospels of Matthew and Luke, as well as those who may be seeing and hearing about it for the first time, are all welcome.

Baldwinsville police officers Martin Knaul and Christine Weeks, who are the school resource officers for the Baldwinsville Central School District, report that there are two drugs that law enforcement officers in the Central New York area have been encountering lately. “Molly� is a relatively new drug in the area. It is an off-white powdery substance and may be contained in a gelatin capsule. Officer Weeks said this drug has properties similar to those of Ecstasy and causes euphoria and stimulant-like effects. Other street names for this substance are legal E, legal X or A2. Officers Knaul and Weeks noted that Molly has not been found in any of the district’s schools; however, local police officers have encountered it in the Baldwinsville community. Another drug parents should be concerned about is heroin, which Officer Knaul said is making a resurgence in Central New York. Neither he nor Officer Weeks has encountered it yet in any of the district’s schools. Heroin is a highly addictive drug that is derived from morphine, which is an opiate. It acts as a depressant. Heroin can be a white to dark brown powder or a tar-like substance. It can be injected, smoked or snorted. Officer Weeks noted that the Onondaga County Probation Department has reported that, in general, there is a resurgence in the use of opiates in the area. Officers Knaul and Weeks stressed that marijuana, alcohol, See Drugs, page 9

The girls each had to do chores to earn the money. Once they earned their money, they took it to a grocery store and purchased food for those in need. The troop is in the first year on girl scouting and wants to set the example for many community service projects to come.

Opinion Editorial

A cry for help

The recent rash of youth crime in the city of Syracuse has people up in arms. The shooting deaths of Henninger High School graduate Kihary Blue, 19, and toddler Rashaad Walker Jr. stunned the entire community. “Enough.” That is the cry of the people who live on these increasingly crime-ridden streets. It’s time to take action so that the families living in these neighborhoods, paralyzed by fear, can have their lives back. But first, we need to understand why this is happening before we can help. There are several risk factors to juvenile crime; causal effects include living in poverty stricken areas that often expose youth to violence and drug abuse very early, getting into “the wrong crowd,” easy access to firearms and broken or unstable families. City Police Chief Frank Fowler confirmed this in his speech to community leaders earlier this month: Youth crime is as much social as it is criminal. Fowler said in order to prevent youth crime, structure has to be provided for young people. Where this is not available at home, military-type schools should be formed to mold children through high school. This would give children the discipline, education and sense of belonging they so desperately need. Local non profit organizations approach the problem from a different angle. They believe the root cause of violence is poverty and are engaged in a long-standing campaign to abate it. Habitat for Humanity, Visions For Change, Home Headquarters and Catholic Charities, to list a few, work on issues such as affordable housing, job training, mental health and education to transition people out of poverty. Every part of the process will have to involve the full commitment of the wider Syracuse community. To become a part of the solution, volunteer with one of these organizations: Habitat for Humanity (422-2230, syracusehabitat.org), Visions For Change (218-0938, vfcinc. org), Home Headquarters (474-1939, homehq.org), Catholic Charities (424-1800, ccoc.us) or Salvation Army (475-1688, sasyr.org).

Still time for year-end financial moves The holiday season is always a busy time of year, so you’re probably pretty busy. But, it is important to take some time now to evaluate year-end financial moves that may be beneficial in preparing for your financial future. Which year-end moves should you consider? You will want to talk to your financial advisor and tax and legal professionals first, but here are a few ideas to get you started: Boost your IRA contributions. You have until April 15, 2011, to fully fund your IRA for the 2010 tax year, but the sooner you finish with your 2010 contribution, the quicker you can get started on your 2011 contribution — and the earlier in the year you fund your IRA, the more time you give your account the opportunity to grow. Put more money into college savings plans. If you have a 529 college savings plan for yourself or someone else, consider putting more money in before year-end. You can gift up to $13,000 ($26,000 per married couple) per person per year without gift tax consequences. However, this must be accomplished by year-end. Be generous. If you’ve been thinking of making charitable gifts, don’t put them off any longer. As long as you make a donation to a qualified charity before the year ends, you can

Kevin Wall Financial Focus claim a deduction on your 2010 tax return. For example, if you donate $100 to a charitable group (either a religious organization or one that has received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service), and you’re in the 25-percent tax bracket, you can deduct $100 (with a tax benefit of $25) when you file your taxes for 2010, providing, of course, that you itemize. If you donate stocks or other types of assets, you may also be able to save on capital gains taxes, because it will be the charity, not you, that eventually sells those assets. Sell your “losers.” If you own investments that have lost value since you purchased them, you can sell them before 2010 ends and then use the tax loss to offset capital gains you may have earned in other investments. If you don’t have any capital gains, you can use up to $3,000 of your tax losses to offset other ordinary income. If your loss is greater

than $3,000, you can “carry over” the excess and deduct it from your taxes in future years. However, if you then want to repurchase the investment you sold, you’ll need to wait at least 31 days to avoid violating the IRS’ “wash sale” rules. Take capital gains. In 2011, the tax rate on long-term capital gains is scheduled to increase to 20 percent for most investors, up from the 15 percent rate it’s been the last several years. If you have stocks or other appreciated assets that you were thinking of selling in the near future, you might want to do so before the year comes to a close. However, it’s generally not a good idea to make investment decisions strictly because of tax consequences. If your appreciated assets are still a part of your overall financial strategy, you may be better off holding them for the long term, even with a higher capital gains rate. Considering these moves before the year ends may help you better prepare to address you financial picture in 2011.

County elects to share 911 server with surrounding counties The first of two December sessions of the Onondaga County Legislature was held Dec. 7. Most of the agenda included year-end items, such as setting the drainage district rates for the city. However, there were a couple of significant items, like approving funds for the Onondaga Lake clean-up project. First was the approval of $2.3 million in engineering fees for the next phase of construction in the Harbor Brook area. The second was setting the public hearing for $70 million in construction for the Harbor Brook area. This public hearing will be held on Dec. 21. The county has saved approximately $25 million since the original cost projections for the sewer separation projects by instituting green infrastructure and offering green incentives to commercial and residential properties. Another issue of importance at this session was authorizing an agreement with Cayuga, Cortland, Madison and Oswego counties, to utilize our 911 master site server

as they make necessary upgrades to their 911 system. This affords Onondaga County some revenue for maintenance, and upgrades to our server at no cost to our county residents. By having all five counties on the same system, we truly are using an interoperable communication system. This is especially important to our fire and police personnel that reside along the borders of Onondaga County. We still have one more session on Dec. 21. Additionally, there are many issues that will have to be dealt with in the upcoming year. A decision will have to be made on the status of the Van Duyn Nursing Home.

Should we contract the service out, sell the facility or raise taxes to keep it under county control? With the State’s reimbursement steadily dropping each year for the last decade, we have been forced to fund Van Duyn with taxpayer dollars. The census numbers will be coming out in March; the county legislature will be involved with redistricting to the newly reduced number of 17 legislators. Also coming in the middle of the year, will be the issue of funding for the sheriff ’s helicopter. Next year will be another very busy year with several tough decisions on the agenda. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season. Enjoy your families and have a safe time celebrating the season.

From the mailbag Baldwinsville has no movie theatre To the editor: A few years back, Baldwinsville had a nice movie theatre. It was small, but the area was comfortable. It was connected to the old

Tri County Mall. Then the movie theatre left. I would love to see a new movie theatre in the area and I know that I am not the only one. Without a theatre, there are no spots for entertainment. One lady wrote a letter to the editor to the Messenger about converting the old Rite Aid

into a movie theatre, which would be a great location. Is there anything wrong with having one in the old Rite Aid store? I’m sure that it can be done. Just need the money. Skip Collins Baldwinsville

Opinion Use credit cards wisely during holidays Since the recession first hit, credit card use has slowed substantially. The Federal Reserve reported that consumer borrowing fell again in August as consumers cut back on credit card use for the 24th consecutive month. That said, however, the majority of American families have credit card debt. There are varying reports of how much credit card debt the average American family holds - anywhere from $6,000 to $12,000 - so it’s important to keep a few good financial guidelines in mind, especially during this time of year when larger purchases may be in your plans, Here are some smart consumer tips on credit card use, in part provided by the New York State Consumer Protection Board: Shop for the card with the best terms. Beware that “affinity� credit cards that are affiliated with a group or school may not have the best available terms. Look for low or no annual fees on cards. Seek low-interest rates or finance charges. Some offer an introductory rate of 0 percent

Will Barclay From the Assembly but watch out for balancetransfer fees and do the math. A list comparing credit card terms and some of the better credit cards is available at financialtools.money.msn.com/bestcredit-cards/ Refrain from using your credit card for cash advances and transfers. The fees and interest on such transactions are higher than for credit card purchases. Remove your name from marketing lists by calling 1-8885-OPTOUT and eliminate the temptation of applying for new credit cards. Track your spending. Incidental and impulse purchases add up. Set a spending limit. Don’t “max out� or exceed your card limit. Review your billing statement carefully to ensure all charges are correct

Library Focus

Pay what you owe. Paying the so-called “minimum payment� is a trap: in some cases, just $1,000 of debt could take 12 years to pay off if you send in the minimum payment. Pay bills no later than the due date to avoid late payment fees, which can increase your balance and cause a hike in the annual percentage rate charged to your account. In many cases, these late fees are $35. Review all notices from your credit card issuer, including changes in terms and conditions relevant to your account and privacy policies. Doing this may prompt you to change credit card companies or banks, especially with all the new Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act forces credit card companies to spell out in plain English to the consumer. (To learn more about this law that became effective in February, visit nysconsumer. gov/educating/credit_and_finances.) Secure and review your free annual credit report and learn about your credit score at ftc. gov/freereports. The New York State Consumer Protection Board keeps a

list of helpful links to help people learn more about personal finances. This list can be viewed at nysconsumer.gov/educating/consumer_resources_and_ links/consumer_links.htm. For help with debt management, visit the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at nfcc.org. Many scams focus on “fixing debt� when in reality, some of these companies only add to a person’s debt load. Be aware of these types of false promises if looking to repair credit or climb out of debt. There are a number of debt calculators, which account for interest rates that can help you manage your credit cards. These can help you establish a payment that you can afford. One can be accessed at the Federal Trade Commission’s website at ftc.gov/creditcardcalculator.

The district joins the EPA’s elite group of organizations that have improved energy efficiency across all of their buildings. “The Baldwinsville Central School District is pleased to be named an EPA ENERGY STAR Leader,” said Super-

intendent Jeanne Dangle. “Through this achievement, we have demonstrated the district’s commitment to environmental stewardship and reducing energy costs.” The district has managed energy strategically across an entire portfolio of its eight buildings using the EPA’s standardized measurement tool for tracking building energy use. Buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government.

“Morgan Murray, Megan Wrench and Tricia Herrmann have demonstrated a great collaborative effort as co-teachers in their fourth-grade classroom,” said Olivia Cambs, princi-

Sissy’s brings sassy, elegant chic to B’ville

Boivin said the selection, the feel of the store, the personal connection she has with her customers and the personal touch the store

gives is what is causing her customer base to grow and continue to return. Lisa Stewart, a returning customer from Baldwinsville, said she decided to come back because she had bought things at the store before and had liked the jewelry she saw in the e-mail sent out over the e-mail list. “I’m glad there’s a place like this in Baldwinsville,� she said. “You don’t have to go to Skaneateles or the Armory to find things like this.� Stewart has told other people about Sissy’s, including her daughter from Syracuse who was at the store with her. “I love it here,� Stewart said. “It’s cozy and unique. Stephanie is so nice and helpful. She takes time with you.� Stewart said she first decided to go to Sissy’s because she had driven by the sign in front of the store and was intrigued by the store. Like Stewart, Diane Burt and Judy Welch who were visiting Baldwinsville from

Carpeting

Cuba, N.Y., said they decided to go in the store because of the sign out front and the items they saw through the window. “It’s very unique and different,� Welch said. “We got a friendly greeting when we walked in, which was nice. I plan to tell people to stop by. It’s worth the drive.� Burt added, “There’s a little something for everyone. It’s enjoyable, relaxing and aspiring.� So far, Boivin has not faced any challenges with the store, not even the economy. “Obviously, the economy hit everyone, but I think a place like this is a feel good store, an outlet of fun,� she said. “We have a variety of gifts so everyone can come in and get something for their price point.� This is the first store Boivin has owned and it’s a step away from sign language, her major in college. “This is nothing that my degree was geared toward, but I’ve always had a flare for this,� she said. “I think I’m

doing well because I do love it and I’ve enjoyed meeting so many people.� Boivin began making plans to open a boutique in April, only two months before Sissy’s doors opened. She said it was like an itch that needed to be scratched. Named in honor of Boivin’s grandmother, who was also her “shopping buddy,� Sissy’s features aspects of its namesake like the portrait of Boivin’s grandmother on one of the store walls and a pillow made from something in her grandmother’s hope chest. As the store moves into the second half of its first year, Boivin has a few hopes for Sissy’s and other local stores. “I hope to continue to be a great boutique in the village,� she said. “I hope to be in the forefront of people’s minds when they need to get gifts. I hope that, along with other Baldwinsville stores, we can come to the forefront of people’s minds when shopping and they’ll want to have lunch and shop the village.� Sissy’s is open Tues-

day through Sunday with varying hours: 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. While Boivin takes care of her two young children at home, restricting her availability at the store, she plans to expand and grow soon, extending her hours and taking on a new project in January working with Elan, an interior decorating company.

Stephanie Boivin chats to customers, asking them about their lives and remembering details from the last time they visited her store. Around her, an assortment of jewelry, Christmas trees, hair pieces and furniture add character to her quaint, new store, Sissy’s Vintage & Nouveau Boutique. Opened this past June, Sissy’s sells a wide variety of items ranging from specialty gifts and jewelry to home furnishings and specialty furniture. Prices range from a few pieces for under $10 to the specialty furniture, which costs more than $1,000, said Boivin, the owner of the store. “There’s an eclectic mix that really gives people the chance to come and find something special,� she said. The merchandise sold is chosen from shows, catalogues, talking to representatives and from Boivin traveling around and out of the area to find new

pieces that people wouldn’t normally see. If a customer comes in looking for something the store doesn’t carry, then she said she enjoys looking for the items and finding new things. “Everything I pick in here, I love because I have to love everything, so I can enjoy what I look at here,� she said. Boivin also bought a lot of the things she sells for herself, family members and friends. She talks about her personal experience with customers if they are unsure who to give something to, how to style a piece of jewelry or incorporate a piece into their home. She describes the atmosphere of the store as “a cross between sassy, elegant, shabby-chic, and fun.� She added the store is constantly changing with the weekly shipments of new merchandise.

Inaugural craft fair a success By Katrina Koerting Shoppers explored the many crafts as they wandered through the hallways lined with tables and vendors at Baldwinsville Christian Academy’s first ever craft fair. The school raised about $890 on Dec. 4 at what they hope to be their annual craft fair. The proceeds will go towards keeping tuition costs low. The school’s profit came from the $25 table fee the vendors were charged, $30 if the vendor needed electricity for their table, and the concession sales, said Dava McElyea, the administrative assistant at the school and one of the organizers for the craft fair. “The fair was a success,” she said. “I’m even toying with the idea to have a spring one. Of course, we would like to have more shoppers, but that will increase in future years. We had a lot of shoppers outside of our school family, as well as a good turn out from our school family.” There were 28 tables, with products ranging from Tupperware to homemade items like jewelry and pillows. The vendors came

from all over Central New York. About one third of the tables were from people that were somehow associated with the school, either as a teacher, parent, alumna or a friend of someone at the school. The fair also had door prizes, a performance from the World of Light Ballet, a non-profit Christian dance company and Dr. Scott Kozlowski, a chiropractor, was offering free wellness screenings. McElyea said the school decided to do a craft fair because they are always looking for different fundraisers. “Other schools do them,” she said. “We have a lot of talent in the school and I thought we could do it.” She said she also wanted a place to be able to sell the necklaces she makes. She added, “You can only do so many candy bar sales and catalogue sales.” Sharon Elmer, the fundraiser coordinator for the school, agreed, “We try to stay away from the door to doors. It was also a good opportunity for the community to be aware of our school.” The school had an information table set up at the entrance of the fair.

Dava McElyea, organizer of the Baldwinsville Christian Academy craft fair held Dec. 4, shows Karen Doud the necklaces she is made and sold at the event. The biggest challenges the organizers said they faced were not starting early enough and trying to figure out where to put everyone because they had twice the amount of vendors they were hoping for. They even ran out of tables to provide. “This isn’t a bad prob-

lem to have though,” said Elmer. Another challenge they had at first was finding volunteers to run the fair because it was added later in the school year Elmer said. “We’ve been blessed that people stepped up to volunteer,” she said. Although it was snowing, the snow had not kept the customers away. Karen Doud, a customer from Baldwinsville, said, “It wasn’t enough snow to keep us from a craft fair.” Doud said she decided to go to the craft fair because her daughter was at winter guard practice and she had seen the signs advertising the fair. “It has quite a good variety,” she said of the craft fair. “I like how a lot have homemade things, instead of other fairs, which seem more commercial. It means more to me to buy when someone has put energy in and has made it themselves.” One of the vendors selling homemade items was Michael North, a leatherworker from Tully. He was

selling boxes, hats, bags, belts and other items he has made from cowhide and tooled. This is his first time selling at a craft fair but he said he is enjoying it and that he plans on continuing to do them. He got a table because a friend, whose daughter takes lessons from him and attends the school along with her brother, asked him to participate. “I sold a few things, which made it worthwhile, but it would have still been worthwhile even if I didn’t sell anything,” he said. “It’s nice having the kids come and look at me tooling at the table.” Like North, this was the first craft fair Elisabeth and Katie Austin had been vendors at. Elisabeth Austin, a teacher at the school, and her sister, Katie Austin, a student at the school, were selling candles, jewelry and other things geared towards little kids. “I decided to have a table to support the school as much as I can, since I’m a part of it,” Elizabeth said. Both sisters said they were surprised by the turn-

out. Neither expected as many people to come that did and considered it a success. Tiffany Marleau, a vendor for NYR organic from Syracuse also said the craft fair was a success. NYR Organic is a company that was originally based in Europe and sells skin and body care products. They promote education on how to be healthy, in particular about the benefits of skin care and the affect it has on individuals. NYR Organic became involved with the craft fair because they saw it as an opportunity to teach the public. “We really just want help educate people so they can live a healthy, less-toxic lifestyle.” Marleau said she is looking forward to the next craft fair the Academy puts on and hopes to participate in it. “I’ve been to four other fairs, but this one by far is the best one,” she said. “People are more into talking, learning and they’re loving the free hand massages. Over all, it’s been a better day.”

Baldwinsville’s comical son returns New York City comedian raised in B’ville returns for a holiday comedy show

Baldwinsville Alum and New York City Stand Up Comedian Dan Frigolette, left, is back in town for the Holidays, bringing yuletide laughs to all those in the area, along with Moody McCarthy, right. mock Mr. America Pageant before his Baldwinsville Baker High School peers. Frigolette also spent two years on Baldwinsville’s own WBXL, and five on Syracuse University’s Z89. Post graduating from Syracuse, Frigolette immediately moved to New York, jobless and homeless but with solid goals in mind. Within a year he was working with the self-dubbed “Queen of Mean” Lisa Lampanelli, opening for her on road gigs and helping her fill rooms in Manhattan. Not long after, he began producing his own comedy shows, hosting and bringing in big name talent all over Manhattan. He now lives in Hoboken, NJ, home of baseball, Frank Sinatra and “Cake Boss”’s Carlo’s Bakery. “It’s a small town with a big city feel just 12 minutes from Manhattan,” said Frigolette, likening the town to Baldwinsville in its cute quaintness. “Who wouldn’t want the best of both worlds?” Fr i g o l e tt e re c e nt l y brought comedy to this

Parents and students need to be cognizant of the physical and legal consequences of drug use, as well as school consequences, which are outlined in the district’s Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct can be found online at bville.org. Under the heading “Parents” at the top of the home page, you will find a link to “Code of Conduct.” Page 13 of the document describes the infraction of drug possession, use or sale. The district’s penalties for violations of the Code of Conduct begin on page 26, and Appendix B-54 specifies the penalties for

In an article for NJ.com Frigolette was quoted: “The goal was to unite Hoboken through comedy - and show locals they don’t need to travel to Manhattan for great entertainment.” Staying on as the producer, Frigolette let the big name comedians take the spotlight as he sat out from telling jokes to make sure the four-day festival came off without a hitch.

In a joint fundraising venture, the two organizations came together again for the last chicken barbecue of 2010. The joint venture was so successful last year in raising funds for both organizations’ activities, it was agreed to venture forth and do it once again this year with a highly successful result. Both organizations express appreciation to the community and supporters for the barbecue’s huge success.

Everyone needs a laugh at this time of the year. December may be a month filled with overeating, familial disputes, financial woes about not being able to afford the biggest and brightest goodies and gadgets for the loved ones, and the back breaking task of snow removal. December is ripe for stimulating the funny bone, and who better to bring humor to the situation than Baldwinsville’s own Dan Frigolette. A 2001 Graduate of Baldwinsville’s C.W. Baker High, Frigolette went on to Syracuse University to study at Newhouse’s Communications School graduating in 2005 with a dual degree in advertising and communication rhetorical studies, with a minor in fine arts. “Four years of college at an impressive university and now I tell fart jokes for a living,” Frigolette wryly said about his career path. Don’t let him fool you though; his education comes in handy when putting together comedy shows in New York and this month’s performance in Syracuse. Starting out at Viva Debris in the basement of the Hotel Syracuse, under the guidance of Joe DeLion, Frigolette took his first steps in comedy and decided running was inevitable. Although he credits Debris as his starting point, one might remember Frigolette earning the “Mr. Baldwinsville” crown in 2001 in a

appeared on Bridge Street, Hot107.9, Z89, Wiseguys Comedy Club and numerous times at the Palace Theater. Frigolette brings with him Moody McCarthy, a New York comedian who got his start in Syracuse. McCarthy, a 1984 Corcoran High School graduate, got his start at the original Wiseguys Comedy Club on Erie Boulevard. After earning local celebrity status on Y94, McCarthy moved to New York to make his dreams come true. He has since appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Comic Standing and the revival of Star Search. Moody travels the country bringing laughter with his blend of sarcastic humor aimed mostly at himself. McCarthy also recently released a comedy CD entitled “The Night it Went Well.” The Christmas Comedy Spectacular show will take place on Thursday Dec. 23 at Jazz Central in downtown Syracuse, and will feature 90 minutes of comedy from the two satirists. There will be an 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. show. Tickets are $10 and can be reserved by calling 635-7752.

B’ville hockey sweeps to Conklin Tournament title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

When it was time to take to the ice for the start of the 2010-11 season, the Baldwinsville ice hockey team was eager to show that it was ready to make yet another Section III Division I championship push - and perhaps reach the top this time. Under the guidance of longtime head coach Mark Lloyd, the Bees rolled to the title at its own Bobby Conklin Memorial Tournament at Greater B’aldwinsville Ice Arena in Lysander, outscoring its two opponents by a combined 11-3 margin. It all started Friday night, when B’ville took on Central Square and proved shaky at the outset - but quickly took charge in the middle stages and moved on to beat the Red Hawks 5-2. Central Square actually led 1-0 at the end of the first period, getting strong work in goal from Cory Gossiuax, who finished with 29 saves. But in the second period B’ville used a pair of goals to move out in front, then found more success in the final period to pull clear. Parker Ferrigan, the Bees’

quick and exciting sophomore forward, led that push, scoring twice. Andrew Tiner and Brian Burlingame each picked up one goal and one assist, while Ronnie May landed the other goal. Ron Bertrand earned a pair of assists as Matt Colclough and Griffin Noffey picked up single assists. In the other opening-round game, Clarence edged Solvay 21, so it was the Red Devils, from the Section VI Buffalo suburbs, meeting B’ville in Saturday’s championship game. It turned into a showcase for sophomore Matt Zandri and junior Justin Newman as B’ville breezed to a 6-1 victory. Again, the start proved troublesome, as B’ville barely got any shots until it picked up a power play midway through the first period. On that man advantage, Kevin Cullen converted on a rebound goal as Zandri and Tiner earned assists. Late in the period, Ferrigan and Newman broke in, two-on-one, and though the puck got mishandled, Newman still pushed it home to make it 2-0. B’ville maintained control by killing off several of its own penalties in the second period, goaltender Chris Johns making

Then the Bees picked up a 5-on-3 situation, and Zandri scored on a shot from the point to expand the margin to 3-0 - but Zandri was just getting started. Early in the third period, Shane O’Brien’s deft pass sent Zandri in alone on a breakaway, and he got his second goal. After Newman got his second tally off a pass from (Photo, left) UP IN THE AIR: Baldwinsville forward Matt Zandri (22) juggles the puck and checks a Clarence player during the finals of the Bobby Conklin Memorial Tournament. Zandri had a three-goal hat trick in the Bees’ 6-1 victory over the Red Devils.

Ferrigan, Zandri saw his fluttering shot find the net with 3:48 left to complete the hat trick. B’ville has reached the Section III Division I finals each of the last two years. Both times, it has lost to West Genesee, including a 4-0 decision in 2010 that helped push the Wildcats to an undefeated 25-0 mark and a state championship. To get back to the finals, the Bees need to climb through an expanded Division I field. Statemandated realignment sent several Division II sides, including Hamilton, Solvay, Watertown IHC, Rome Free Academy, Utica Proctor, Cortland/Homer, Corco-

ran and Ontario Bay, up to Division I while Auburn and Oswego moved down to Division II. B’ville now plays in Division I-A, and will face each of the 14 league opponents only once, which deprives the team of home-and-home showdowns with rivals like West Genesee and Liverpool. Heavy snow kept the Bees from playing its league opener against Hamilton last Tuesday night. League play is set to begin this Tuesday against one of the newcomers, RFA, at Kennedy Arena before returning to Lysander Thursday to face Cortland/Homer.

Baldwinsville wrestlers beat RFA in league opener By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

A new season began for the Baldwinsville wrestling team without a central figure from recent years - but it still found a way to finish in front. The Bees, coached by Ken Brown and Anthony Smith, took to the mat Thursday night in the Baker High School gym and worked all the way to the wire to earn a 45-37 victory over Rome Free Academy to gain a key early edge in the CNY Counties League National division. Not until Joe Nasoni, in the

171-pound finale, pinned the Black Knights’ Robert Fragapane did the Bees get clear, as it fended off a late RFA rally and stepped into a new era with some muchneeded confidence. The off-season saw Anthony Finocchiaro, a two-time reigning Section III Division I champion and three-time state tournament qualifier, transfer to Canastota, depriving the Bees of one of the top winners in the program’s history. Undaunted, B’ville began practice for the 2010-11 season on Nov. 15, and got in three solid weeks of work before the massive

winter snowstorm caused a threeday break, just before the Bees took the mat against RFA. The first four matches were split, B’ville getting on the board when Pat Nasoni, at 215 pounds, pinned Derek Bruce in 36 seconds, but when Kevin Paul earned a victory at 96 pounds by pinning DeAndre Norman midway through the second period, it kicked off a streak of four straight pins for the Bees. Tim Sposato (103 pounds) finished off Dillon Stasio in 2:32, while Chad McArdell, at 112 pounds, needed just 1:32 to pin Collin Newman. Joey Shaheen

topped them both, though, in his 119-pound match with a 30-second fall over James Repath. RFA would get back in it by winning five of the next seven matches. Still, the Bees stayed ahead with Ryan McArdell needing just 49 seconds for a 135pound victory over Nick Argenzia and Antonio Peck, fresh off his work with B’ville’s Section III Class AA championship football team (he started at defensive back), beating James Yates 16-8. The Black Knights’ late surge pulled them within two, 39-37, so any victory by Fragapane in the last match could help RFA steal

it. But Nasoni refused to let that happen, taking charge early and pinning Fragapane 45 seconds into the second period to seal it. B’ville wrestled again Saturday at Dexter in the General Brown Dual Meet. Overall, the Bees went 3-2, beating Ogdensburg Free Academy 60-25, Homer 53-24 and Clifton Fine 60-30, but losing a narrow 43-38 decision to Beaver River and also falling to the hosts from General Brown by a score of 52-24. A busy week awaits the Bees as it would meet Liverpool on Tuesday and Fayetteville-Manlius on Thursday night.

Sports Bees take dramatic path to Middleton title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

One week, Liz Giromini was playing a key role in the Baldwinsville girls volleyball team’s run to a first-ever state Class AA championship. And a couple of weeks later, she brought her magic to the basketball court. Giromini sank a shot from near half-court as the buzzer sounded in Friday night’s opening round of the Bill Middleton Tip-Off Tournament, giving the Bees a 39-37 victory over Rome Free Academy, and B’ville would go on to fight past West Genesee 42-38 in Saturday’s final. B’ville, who went 9-10 a season ago, is still a youthful squad. Head

coach Kathy Morse has just one senior on her roster, and her five starters include four juniors - Giromini, Claire Monnat, Maggie Monnat and Drey Moore - plus sophomore Gabi Jordan. Together, they went after RFA, but it proved quite a battle. Tied 9-9 after one period, Bv’ille watched as the Black Knights inch out in front in the game’s middle stages and take a 34-28 lead into the final period. Only here did the Bees’ depth and relentless defensive pressure start to make a serious impact, as RFA managed just three points in those last eight minutes. Yet it nearly proved enough - until Giromini, who already had 10 points, saved the night. With less than 10 seconds

Indoor track Bees take second at Morse Relays By Phil Blackwell

pblackwell@cnylink.com

Quickly announcing its status as a top contender, the Baldwinsville boys indoor track and field team nearly claimed the top spot at last Saturday’s season-opening Jack Morse Relays at SUNY-Cortland. Overall, the Bees put up 41 points, just behind Liverpool, who won with 44 points, and Andrew Hoover had much to do with that finish, taking part in two different winning efforts. In the 1,600 sprint medley, Hoover teamed with Todd Mitchell, Alex Nagy and Alec Peinkofer for a time of 3:53.10, which beat runner-up Tully by 2.48 seconds. And in the 55-meter hurdles, Hoover had the fastest individual time of 8.30 seconds, with Jon Hingre taking sixth (9.10 seconds). The combined total of 17.40 blew away second-place Altmar-Parish-Williamstown by more than two seconds. In the mile relay, Ethan Pacheck, Andrew Fleming, Josh Perez and Casey McCallister took third place in a combined 20:27.81. Hingre and Fleming returned to get third in the long jump (32 feet 1 ¾ inches), while Tom McGetrick and Tyler Rawson teamed to finish third in the shot put with 71 feet 1 ½ inches. Also, Matt Pond, Matt Cainan, Joe Morra and Greg LeFancheck got to fifth place in the 4x400 relay (4:15.39), with Mitchell, Nagy, Nate Wicks and Steve Cavallario sixth in the 4x200. Over in the girls edition of the Morse meet, B’ville worked its way to sixth place, earning 31 points. Liverpool won here, too, earning 55 points to edge Cicero-North Syracuse (50 points). Gina Carnovale, Allie Vroman, Cierra Allen and Laura Farleman got together to finish third in the 4x200 in 1:59.76. Kim Cushman and Lindsay Beck were third in the high jump (8 feet 8 inches), with Carnovoale and Stephanie Vasteno third in the long jump (26 feet 1 ¼ inches). In the 1,600 sprint medley, Vasteno, Quaneisha Ivey, Erin Nagle and Sarah Layton ran to fourth in 5:06.05. Allen, Alex D’Huy, Kirby Socker and Julia Nagy took sixth in the 4x400.

B’ville bowlers sweep Oswego, West Genny By Phil Blackwell

pblackwell@cnylink.com

Only when the four feet of snow stopped falling could the Baldwinsville bowling teams get to work in the 2010-11 season. And the initial outing proved a success for the Bees as it met Oswego last Thursday and beat the Buccaneers 3-0 on the boys side and 2-1 on the girls side. Matt Allen, with a 642 series and high game of 232, helped overcome

the work of Oswego’s Matt Clemons, who had the top individual series of 659. In the girls match, Elizabeth Blume had a 508 series (189 high game) as Annie Peterson added a 485 set. Then the Bees knocked off West Genesee Friday in a pair of 3-0 matches. Allen improved to a 685 series on the boys side as Justin Peterson shot a 252 game in his 650 set. Taeler Kuss, with a three-game total of 556, led the girls to victory again.

left, the Black Knights, up 37-36, missed a free throw, and Maggie Monnat chased down the rebound in the corner of the court. She had enough time to pass it to Jones, who threw it to Giromini. All Giromini could do, with the clock running close to zero, was shoot from near the half-court line. It swished, and Giromini had won the game, mobbed by her teammates as B’ville moved on to the finals. Less than 16 hours later, the Bees were facing West Genesee, who had far less drama defeating Henninger 48-28 in a first-round game where it led 18-2 after one quarter and cruised the rest of the way. No one would have any breath-

ing room in the final, though. Claire Monnat’s trio of 3-pointers helped the Bees move in front by as much as four in the second period, but she went to the bench with three fouls and WG pulled within one, 22-21, at the break. The third quarter proved similar, as B’ville, pushed by Jordan (five of her 10 points came in this period), went up 29-23, only to see the Wildcats come back again, closing the period on a 9-1 run to seize a 32-30 lead. Four times in the fourth quarter, the lead switched hands. Claire Monnat’s two free throws with 4:36 helped the Bees inch ahead for good, and for the rest of the way WG got just one field goal, B’ville’s defense again excelling in

the homestretch. Maggie Monnat’s free throw with seven seconds left sealed the title as her sister, Claire, who had 14 points in the final after getting 10 points against RFA, earned tournament MVP honors. Giromini also made the All-Tournament team, as did WG freshman Melissa Fumano, who led both sides with 15 points. RFA beat Henninger 46-36 in the consolation game. B’ville will play Auburn on Tuesday, then head back to practice for nearly two weeks before resuming its season Dec. 27 and 28 at East Syracuse-Minoa’s Vince Celi Memorial Tournament, where it will play Class A contender Whitesboro in the first round.

Boys hoops wins Sherburne tourney By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

In the second year of his project to make Baldwinsville boys basketball a legitimate force again, head coach Tim Solomon might be getting some real results. The Bees, who went 4-14 a season ago, already has two wins to its credit this time around thanks to its first-place finish in last weekend’s SherburneEarlville Tournament. Mostly, the tournament served as a breakout for junior Willie Hython, who had 49 total points in the two games, most of them in Saturday’s 72-51 romp over the hosts from Sherburne-Earlville in the championship game. Sluggish in the early going,

B’ville trailed the Marauders 137 after one period. But it made up most of the deficit by halftime, then outscored S-E 20-9 in the third quarter to seize control for good. As it pulled away later, Hython, a 6-4 forward, kept making inside baskets, not stopping until he had put up 31 points and seized tournament MVP honors. Another newcomer, sophomore Kevin Drain, offered his own breakthrough as he torched the Marauders for 21 points. Everyone else took a supporting role, with Nick Riley contributing six points. A day earlier, in the opening round against Unatego, B’ville followed the same pattern that it would against S-E, starting slow

but still emerging with a 64-54 victory. Unable to practice for much of the week due to the massive winter snows, the Bees’ defense proved sluggish as it fell into a 20-13 deficit. That changed quickly, though, as B’ville held Unatego to six points the rest of the half, went in front 28-26 and stayed there the rest of the way. Hython began his weekend showcase by pouring in 18 points, just ahead of senior captain Kevin Roy, who finished with 16 points. Drain was close behind, earning 14 points. B’ville has its CNY Counties League opener this Friday, against Oswego, then is off until the Dec. 27-28 Vince Celi Memorial Tournament at East Syracuse-Minoa.
