Friedman brings ‘slice of life’ to Nelson Odeon Andy Friedman, a performer, illustrator and cartoonist, will perform at 8 p.m. Dec. 4 at the Nelson Odeon. “Andy Friedman is not exactly one of those musicians you play while you’re paying your bills or cleaning the house,” according to an NPR segment, “his songs demand that you sit down and listen to them, which is why he is such a hot live act.” While his songs are anything but funny, Friedman has published over a dozen gag cartoons in The New Yorker under the pseudonym Larry Hat. As an award-winning illustrator published under his own name, Friedman’s portraits of cultural figures appear regularly in literally hundreds of magazines and newspapers worldwide, including recent covers for the New York Times Magazine and The New Republic. For the last half decade, Friedman has been carving out a name for himself. The Associated Press raved, “Friedman can
American tune.” Indie-folk icon Sufjan Stevens proclaimed, “I think the world of Andy Friedman. I’ve always wanted to be Andy Friedman.” Tickets to Andy Friedman are $12 at the door or may be ordered online at nelsonodeon. com. The Nelson Odeon is an intimate venue that offers topnotch viewing in small theatre setting for a wide variety of performing artists. For more information visit nelsonodeon.com or call 6559193.

Opinion Editorial
Nelson Odeon puts the arts front and center Nelson has always been known for its agriculture and picturesque views. But the work of the Schoenfeld family and the Nelson Odeon have been putting Nelson on the map for something a little more glamorous: entertainment. Since last spring, the reopened historic Nelson grange building at 4035 Nelson Rd., three miles east of Cazenovia, has hosted several musical acts, from Little Toby Walker to Beaucoup Blue to Billy Eli, among others. Jeff and Linda Schoenfeld purchased the historic Nelson Grange Building a year ago, in November of 2009. Together, and with some help, the Schoenfelds spent last winter renovating to convert the inner structure to the Nelson Odeon. Their plan was to create a community minded center for musicians, artists, receptions, practices and concerts. Along with promoting local music from across upstate New York, one of the Odeon’s missions is to bring small, well-respected national acts to the Central New York area to play for music lovers and music discoverers alike. Now, the Nelson Odeon is becoming more and more well known across Central New York; you can’t go to a bookstore or restaurant near Eagle’s Syracuse office without seeing a Nelson Odeon flier in the window. The old grange hall had a stage installed many years ago, complete with footlights and curtains. Going unused for decades, the Schoenfelds have breathed new life into the Nelson Odeon so that performers can take the stage and entertain audiences again as it was intended. This week’s artist, Andy Friedman, is sure to attract a crowd. With fans as varied as the New Yorker and popular musician Sufjan Stevens, it’s definitely going to be a show worth watching. We’ll see you there!

Letters Field Hockey team a source of pride
To the editor: Congratulations to the Cazenovia Field Hockey team on the greatest season in Lakers sports history. The squad’s 1-0 overtime victory over Pierson Bridgehampton for the state title typified the girls’ play throughout the season. From the opening seconds to the dramatic winning goal, the team played with skill, intensity, sportsmanship and unrelenting determination. The Lady Lakers are, and ought to be, a source of incredible pride for our community. They represent everything that is right about high school sports. These young women are not only remarkable athletes and competitors but hard-working and successful scholars, dedicated community servants and
admirable leaders and role models. Coach Scheftic, along with her modified and JV staff, deserve our praise for building a program that, from top to bottom, is based on the truest principles of athletics; moral character, teamwork and commitment. Their epic demonstration that virtue and success can coexist so effectively is an inspiration to us all. Thank you, field hockey players and coaches, for bringing such pride and distinction to our school and community. Kurt Wheeler A Proud Laker Fan
Community came together to honor soldier
To the editor: Chittenango is a wonderful and proud community. The manner in which the Chittenango
community came together to honor Sgt. Edward H. Bolen was truly impressive. It was an honor for me to be asked to arrange Sgt. Bolen’s funeral, but it was a request that could not be carried out alone. The support and assistance I received from so many people and organizations was incredible. My deepest appreciation to the Chittenango High School administration, staff and student volunteers, the Chittenango Fire Company.

The house highlighted in the Nov.17 edition of this column, pictured at right, is a home as it appears today in Cazenovia. This nineteenth century structure at 3172 East Road was one of Cazenovia’s first mills. The millstones still remain on adjacent property. As with most settlements, grist mills were the first industry established at Cazenovia, with the first one by John Linklaen in 1794. Others followed all along the Chittenango Creek. Typically, the miller would take his payment in the form of flour produced from corn or wheat brought by the farmer. Mills were an essential part of Cazenovia’s economy for much of the 19th century. This week’s photo, pictured below, tells a different story. If you know the history or significance of this structure, or if you have memories of it, send your information to discoveringcazenivoashistory@ gmail.com by Dec. 8 for inclusion in the Dec. 15 column. Please specify whether or not you’d like us to include your name. This column is contributed by members of the Historic and Architectural Resources Inventory team.

50 Years Ago December 1, 1960 – Mothers beware! Make sure the paper boy you pay is the right one! Apparently some person, or persons, has been going around the village collecting paper money. Then when the paper boy asks for his money he is told that it has already been paid. The kids margin of profit is not large and it doesn’t take too much for him to be operating at a loss. So, ladies, don’t pay just anyone who comes by. Continuing its quest for a “good” sign ordinance the Village has scheduled an open meeting for Friday, Dec, 9. The Golden family observed its fiftieth anniversary of business in Cazenovia last week. The family has operated a restaurant at the same location, 56 Albany St. since November 24, 1910. Previous to that date, V.F. Golden, father of Maurice and Terrence (present owners) of the Golden Pheasant operated a cigar factory at the site of the present Atlantic States Gas Station on lower Albany St. This column is compiled by Sharon Cooney.

100 Years Ago December 1, 1910 – A handsome set of Encyclopaedia Britannica, consisting of the ninth and tenth editions, 35 vols., has been presented to the Public Library by Mr. Walter Goodman Chard. This is a gift that is not only appreciated by the trustees and librarian, but the whole public as well. The interest taken in the library during the past year, by many Cazenovians and outside residents, is truly flattering and shows the great value the library is to the town. Friday evening, December 9, will appear the second attraction of the Union School Entertainment Course. The Tyrolean singers and yodlers will be with us with their native musical instruments. They present a charming combination of the picturesque and romantic in music. They appear in the unique national costume of their
people the most attractive in all Europe.

By Alice Borning NHS Advisor
The Owahgena Chapter of the National Honor Society at Cazenovia High School inducted 31 new members Thursday Nov. 18. The members were selected by the faculty council after each student was evaluated on the following criteria: scholarship, leadership, service and character. For the aspect of scholarship, the students had to have a minimum grade point average of 3.5. Leadership is defined by many different qualities, some of which include: being resourceful in proposing new problems, applying principles, and making suggestions; demonstrating initiative in promoting school activities; exercising positive influence on peers in upholding school ideals; and exemplifying a positive attitude. Service is defined by a student’s willingness to volunteer and character is demonstrated by the following six qualities: respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring and citizenship. The NHS advisers this year are Alice Borning and Tom Murlin. They were joined on stage by Cazenovia High School Principal Eric Schnabl as well as the current NHS members, led by their president, Chris Giardina.
The evening’s special guest speaker was Dr. Frederick Koennecke, who spoke of his past experiences as a member of the Qwahgena Chapter of NHS. He spoke of co-members with widely different interests and talents, but who shared the traits of scholarship, leadership, service, and character to high degrees. Keeping these characteristics strong and developing them even more should now be the personal goals of all the former and newly selected members. The Chamber Choir, directed by Teresa Campbell provided both a serious piece, “O Bone Jesu,” by Palestrina at the start and a more light-hearted piece, “Linus and Lucy,” by Vince Guaraldi at the close of the ceremony. Guests and ceremony participants were treated to a dessert reception in the cafeteria. The decadent desserts and hors d’oeuvres were prepared by Mrs. Kellstrand’s and Ms. Beyer’s foods classes and served by NHS members with the help of Mandi Millen and Kristin Reichert. The new members this year are: Emily Clipston, Crozer Connor, Lucas Dorsey, Kelly Dougherty, Olivia Eilers, Laura Fitch, Sarah Rose Gabor, Piper Gianforte, Matthew Henderson, Douglas Hoagland, Jeffrey Hopsicker, Molly Hudson, Meghan Karmis, Benjamin Langey, Chelsea Lauria, Jonathan Lyga, Patrick Marris, Caroline
Marshall, Emily Mastropaolo, Chelsea Perkins, Brodie Shephard, Noah Shephard, Darian Smith, Benjamin Spangler, Emmajean Speer, Ashley Stec, Brandon Swart, Rae Tobey, Keenan Underriner and Augustus Whitaker. Each student was individually and eloquently introduced by a current NHS member. Now they will serve as role models for the school. Honor comes to those who behave in an honorable manner. This year the induction ceremony had a conflict since a dozen current or new members would be involved at a state banquet for Women’s Field Hockey, our state champions. They were torn between two wonderful events. To make everything work, our induction ceremony made a slight compromise. The ceremony was conducted as planned, but the new members who were absent were honored as their parents came to the stage, lit a candle, and accepted the certificate of membership in NHS in their student’s place. This was a very touching moment for each of the parents and for us who witnessed it. The absent inductees were given full honors again at the abbreviated ceremony held at 3 p.m. Tuesday Nov. 30.

Re-gift, Re-use, Re-love Project CAFÉ’s Third Annual Toy Shop Submitted by Taylor Malmsheimer The holiday season is approaching and it’s time for Project CAFÉ’s annual Toy Shop. This year Project CAFÉ is hosting its third annual Toy Shop from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday Dec. 11 at Burton Street Elementary School. The Toy Shop has come to be an extremely successful holiday tradition. Project CAFÉ members collect gently used toys and clean the toys, package them, and replace missing batteries. Then the toys are sold for
minimal prices during the Toy Shop. Last year Project CAFÉ collected 1,421 toys, 625 books, and raffled off an American Girl Doll, wooden block set and remote control ATV. Project CAFÉ made a profit of $500, all of which was donated to the bone marrow registry to help those with leukemia and other illnesses. Any remaining toys or books were donated around the local communities. This year, Project CAFÉ members hope to continue their tradition of a fun and rewarding Toy Shop. But to do that, they need help. Without donations of toys and books from community members, the Toy Shop will not be a success. Community members are invited to drop off gently
used toys or wrapping paper in any of the collection boxes around town. Collection sites include Project CAFÉ at Dave’s Diner, St. James Church, the First Presbyterian Church, the Dewitt Community Church, the New Woodstock Library, and the Cazenovia elementary, middle, and high schools. Monetary donations are also appreciated to help buy batteries, and cleaning and wrapping supplies. Donations can be sent to the Project CAFÉ office at PO Box 408, Cazenovia, NY, 13035. Any high school team or club is welcome to sign up for a night to clean toys. If interested, e-mail projectcafe.caz@ gmail.com. Get in the holiday spirit early by donating
your gently used toys to a child whose holiday season will be brightened by your generosity! Project CAFÉ would like to thank all of the people and organizations who have helped to make the Toy Shop possible: the Cazenovia Republican for great publicity, Dave’s Diner for their accommodations and the use of their dishwasher, Wil Kox Paper/the Sparks Family for donating boxes, schools and churches that are hosting boxes for collection, Harris Cleaners for washing and drying stuffed animals, Mrs. Connor for playing the piano at the Toy Shop, and Mrs. Romagnoli for restoring dolls. Taylor Malmsheimer is a student member of Project CAFÉ.
Film series continues at library To commemorate the birthday of Walt Disney (Dec. 5, 1901), the documentary “Waking Sleeping Beauty� will be shown at 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday Dec. 8 in the Cazenovia Public Library Community Room. “During a 43-year Hollywood career, Walt Disney established himself and his product as a genuine part of Americana. A pioneer and innovator, and the possessor of one of the most fertile imaginations the world has ever known, Walt Disney, along with members of his staff, received more than 950 honors and citations from every nation in the world, including 48 Academy Awards and seven Emmys. Through his work, Walt Disney brought joy, happiness, and a universal means of communication to the people of every nation. He died on Dec. 15, 1966,� according to Disney. “By the mid-1980s, however, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old timers not yet ready to relinquish control. These conditions produced a series of box-of-
fice flops along with a pessimistic forecast that perhaps the best days of animation were over. “Only a miracle, or a magic spell, could produce a happy ending. In ‘Waking Sleeping Beauty,’ the true story of how Disney regained its magic is told. The result was a staggering output of hits during a ten-year period — ‘Little Mermaid,’ ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Aladdin,’ ‘The Lion King’ and more.� “Waking Sleeping Beauty,� a fascinating story of the rise and fall of an entertainment empire, is rated PG and runs for 86 minutes. Wide screen, surround sound, comfortable seating and free popcorn are all part of the theater experience at the Cazenovia Public Library where all events are free and open to the public. And don’t forget that free transportation through CRIS-CAT is now provided for Cazenovia, Fenner, and Nelson residents over 55 and ambulatory. Just call 655-0612 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. three to five days in advance. For more information, call 655-9322 or visit cazenoviapubliclibrary.org.

Before the season started, Jillian Vogl and her Cazenovia field hockey teammates made it clear what their field hockey goal was for the upcoming year. “From day one in preseason we have goal cards and everyone wrote “Win state championship,� Vogl said. The Lakers fulfilled their season-long objective as Vogl knocked in the winning goal in overtime to help Cazenovia win its firstever Class C state championship (and the first by any Cazenovia team, period) with a dramatic 1-0 win over Pierson/Bridgehampton on Nov. 20 at CiceroNorth Syracuse’s Bragman Stadium. After Vogl’s thrilling game-winner, a frenzied celebration scene followed. Vogl jumped into the outstretched arms of senior Tori Widrick before team-

But Vogl finally broke through with the winning goal at the fiveminute mark in sudden death. “EmmaJean (Speer) reversed hit it and I just saw it
out of the corner of my eye,� Vogl said. “I just hit it and closed my eyes and hoped for the best.� Vogl finished with 21 goals for the year but none were bigger than her state championship game-winner. But the modest Vogl downplayed the significance of being the team hero. “It was amazing (to score the game-winner),� Vogl said. “But we won as a team. Everyone’s effort helps.� Defender Ellen Burr
said the overtime win for the state crown was a perfect Hollywood ending to the Laker season. It was Cazenovia’s 15th shutout of the year. “You see all these sports movies and you think “Why do they feel so good about winning?� Burr said. “But it’s all that and more. This was out last game ever and we left in on the field. It was so emotional.� Coming into the final, Cazenovia outscored opSee Champs, page 11

From page 10 Widrick said good communication keeps her offense clicking. “It’s chemistry, one, and second it’s communication,� Widrick said. “Communication out there on the field is huge. We talk out there.� “It’s almost like telepathy,� said head coach Lorraine Scheftic. “They know where each other are. Everyone just really stepped up.� The Lakers tacked on a third goal at 13:30 in the second half. Abby Eschen tipped in a ball off the stick of Widrick for a 3-0 lead. Widrick capped off the scoring with a bullet into the box with 3:15 remaining. Cazenovia dominated Briarcliff in shots (21-2) and penalty corners (13-3). The Lakers’ defense also contained the Bears top scorer, Melissa Colton, who came into the game with 23 goals. One day later, it proved a lot closer – but Cazenovia still made history. Burr was selected to the state all-tournament team, as was Widrick and Vogl. Belle Hoagland received the state sportsmanship award. The Lakers finished the year at 21-2 and will start the 2011 season with a sevengame win streak to go with their 59-game OHSL win streak.

years – or more – in the making. When Jillian Vogl’s shot found the net in overtime on Nov. 20 at Cicero-North Syracuse’s Bragman Stadium, the Cazenovia field hockey team had achieved the first state championship by any Laker team in the school’s history. Yet this was far from an overnight success story. Four straight times, the Lakers had gone into the state tournament, only to get eliminated long before the championship round. Breaking that spell required the same traits that all championship teams carry – a fair amount of talent, for sure, but also a larger amount of leadership and, whenever it was needed, an ability to make the big plays. Not too long ago, just winning a Section III title was a big accomplishment. In both 2004 and 2005, head coach Lorraine Scheftic’s Lakers made it to the finals, only to get beat, and followers wondered if the breakthrough would ever take place. Then came 2006, when the Lakers trailed Holland Patent in the closing seconds of regulation in the Class B finals on the same Bragman Stadium turf where greater glory would be achieved four years later. But the Lakers got a goal to force overtime against the Golden Knights, then won in that extra period 3-2 to finally claim the sectional banner. Great as that was, though, a different kind of frustration would soon set in.
Starting in ’06, and continuing through the next three years, the pattern would repeat itself. Each time, Cazenovia would blaze to a Section III title (it moved from Class B to
C in 2007) – and each time, it would lose in the regional playoffs. That included a 7-0 defeat to Marathon in ’08 and a 4-0 loss to those same Olympians in ’09. This was the background
for Cazenovia going into 2010, who figured that if a regional title, or even a state title, was ever going to happen, now was the time. Up front, the Lakers See Champs, page 16

ponents 21-3 in six playoff games, but it was unable to solve the Whalers until Vogl’s goal. The highly-skilled Lakers were relentless on attack but the Whalers kept thwarting every challenge. The Lakers outshot the Whalers 18-0 in the first half. Cazenovia’s defense, led by Burr, Raeanne Clabeaux, SarahRose Gabor, Molly Hudson and goalie Emily Mastropaolo, held its own in crucial situations including three penalty corners by Pierson with under a minute to play in the regulation. A day earlier, in the state semifinals against Briarcliff Manor (Section I), the Lakers had little trouble, speeding its way to a 4-0 victory over the Bears. Cazenovia came into the state semifinal as the most prolific offensive team in Section III history. The Lakers (19-2) set a Section III record for most goals in a season as its 103 goals so far in 2010 eclipsed Rome Free Academy’s record of 92 goals in 1994. Vogl got the offense cranking early with an unassisted goal at the 25:08 mark. She added another marker eight minutes later, also unassisted. Cazenovia, the five-time defending sectional champs, averaged 4.9 goals per game before Friday. Widrick continued the offensive onslaught with a high blast into the box for the Lakers third goal.

A New Year, A New You Planning is key to keeping New Year’s resolutions Most people have made New Year’s resolutions at some point in their lives -- with varying degrees of success. The secret to making -- and keeping -- a New Year’s resolution is to start thinking about it before New Year’s Eve. Be realistic The surest way to fall short of your goal is for it to be unrealistic. Resolving to never eat your favorite
food again is a set-up for failure. Set a goal that is attainable, such as avoiding that food more often than you do now. If your resolution is something like losing weight, do some research to see what a realistic, attainable goal would be. Choose wisely Don’t decide on a resolution at the last minute on New Year’s Eve.
It may help to make a list of possible resolutions and develop this list over time. Keep it with you and ask others to contribute ideas. You should know what your goal is well before December 31st arrives. Create a plan To be successful, it helps to have clear steps to put into action. Write See Resolutions, next page
Resolution ideas to consider for the new year Each and every New Year’s Day, millions of people across the globe resolve to make positiive changes in their life. Known as New Year’s resolutions, these ideas or commitments can fall by the wayside or prove to be a positive life-changing experience. Some of the more popular resolution ideas include the following: 3 Losing weight 3 Saving more and spending less 3 Visit a foreign country 3 Volunteer to help the less fortunate 3 Start (or finish) writing that novel 3 Quit smoking tobacco 3 Be more environmentally-friendly 3 Reduce stress 3 Spend more time with the family Many parents choose to spend more time with their family as their New Year’s resolution each year.
A champagne toast fit for a festive New Year’s Eve
Champagne is as much a part of New Year’s celebrations as countdowns and the ball dropping in Times Square. Those hosting a New Year’s party this year might want to consider the following recipe for “Champagne Punch” from A.J. Rathbun’s “Good Spirits” (Harvard Common Press). Champagne Punch Serves 10 6 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice 4 ounce simple syrup (see below) 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice 2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice 6 ounces white rum 6 ounces dark rum 1 25 fluid ounce bottle of champagne Orange, lime and lemon slice for garnish Ice (in block form of possible; if not, large chunks) 1. Add the ice to a large punch bowl. If using chunks (as opposed to a large block of ice), fill the bowl just under halfway. 2. Add the orange juice, simple syrup, lime juice, and lemon juice. With a large spoon or ladle, stir 10 times. 3. Add the light and dark rums. Stir 10 more times. 4. Add the champagne, but not too quickly. Enjoy the moment. Add a goodly amount of orange, lime and lemon slices. Stir, but only once. 5. Ladle into punch glasses or festive goblets. Try to ensure that every guest gets a slice of fruit and a smile. Simple Syrup Makes 41/2 cups 21/2 cups water 3 cups sugar 1. Add the water and sugar to a medium-size saucepan. Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Lower the heat a bit, keeping the mixture at a low boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Turn off the heat, and let the syrup cool completely in the pan. Store in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator.
‘Winter blues’ might be something more serious The arrival of the New Year brings with it many things besides just a turn of the calendar. A time for reflection, resolutions and looking forward, the New Year represents a clean slate, one many will welcome after a rather tumultuous 2009. Another image the New Year invokes is that of winter weather, replete with its short days and snowstorms. While the official arrival of winter is 10 days before the turn of the calendar, for many the unofficial start of the coldest season is when the holiday season ends and the new calendar year begins. Though winter has its afficionados, for many people winter can be a difficult time of year, one characterized by feelings of depression and indifference. For those who find themselves with those feelings each year, the cause could be a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which most commonly begins to occur during late fall, extending into the winter months. In fact, many simply assume the symptoms of SAD are the “winter blues,” a common misconception that could be masking a larger issue. However, understanding and recognizing SAD could be the first step for those looking to have a more enjoyable winter. What is SAD? SAD is a type of depression that is cyclic, affecting a See SAD, next page

Resolutions
Opinion
Resolve to be involved
your resolution and plan down in a notebook or journal. Decide how you will deal with the temptation to backslide. This could include calling a friend for support, taking a walk around the block or simply thinking positively. Start your plan during the first few days of January to harness your motivation. Don’t expect overnight miracles. Resolutions are accomplished with a hundred tiny steps that happen throughout the year. You should think of a New Year’s resolution as nothing more than a starting point and that developing positive habits will keep your plan moving forward. Talk about it Tell friends and family members who will be there to support your resolve to change yourself for the better. The best-case scenario is to find a friend or family member
As 2010 comes to a close, and the confetti and streamers are swept up, the hangovers are medicated and the calendars are thrown away, many Central New Yorkers will look ahead to 2011 and make a resolution. That resolution may be something tangible, like quitting smoking, getting more organized or losing weight. Or it might go deeper, like being kinder, making new friends or taking up a new hobby. If you are looking for a way to improve your life and the lives of those around you, why not resolve to become involved in your community? Volunteer at or donate to a local organization, whether it be one that helps people in crisis, such as Vera House or the Rescue Mission, or one which helps children or the needy, such as Meals on Wheels, the local food pantry or a hospital’s pediatric ward. Or become a mentor or a Big Brother/Big Sister to a child who could use a helping hand or someone to look up to, someone to lend support when needed. Some web sites to help you get started helping others include volunteermatch.org and oasisnet.org, or use the “Volunteer Syracuse” search engine. Become involved in the government which shapes our towns and villages. Attend local board meetings or volunteer for civic organizations or municipal committees. Reach out to your neighbors, perhaps by starting a homeowners’ group, a neighborhood watch or something as simple as a local book, pitch or bridge club. Giving of yourself by getting involved in your community is a way to keep the holiday cheer going throughout the year.

Do the best you can each day and keep moving forward. Expect that your plan can and will change. Sometimes even the goal itself will change. But most importantly, recognize partial successes at every step along the way. Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity, such as exercising, to become a habit, and six months for it to become part of your personality. Give it time and your new habits are sure to become second nature.

person during the same season each year. The symptoms of SAD will arrive and go away at the same time each year. As mentioned earlier, the majority of people who suffer from SAD will begin to experience symptoms in late fall, and those symptoms will continue through the winter months. What are the Symptoms of SAD? Symptoms of SAD often start out mildly and become more severe as the season progresses. Those symptoms can include: * Feelings of sadness * Anxiety * Withdrawal from social activities and situations * Loss of interest in usual activities * Feelings of hopelessness * Oversleeping * Weight gain * Difficulty concentrating * Craving of carbohydrates, such as bread and pasta While SAD is most common in late fall and early winter, it can also occur in spring and summer. This is called summer-onset seasonal affective disorder. Symptoms of this type of SAD are, in some cases, the opposite of winter seasonal affective disorder. * Irritability * Insomnia * Weight loss * Poor appetite What Causes SAD? It is still uncertain as to the specific causes of SAD. Experts, however, have theorized that lack of sunlight might be a contributing factor. A reduction in sunlight can cause a drop in serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that influences mood,
appetite, sleep, and a host of other behaviors. An imbalance in serotonin is believed to influence mood in a way that leads to depression. That lends credence to the theory that a lack of sunlight and its subsequent depletion of serotonin could be a cause of SAD. Changes in season can also disrupt the balance of melatonin, a natural hormone that plays a role in sleep patterns and mood. What are Risk Factors for SAD? According to the Mayo Clinic, there are a handful of factors that may increase a person’s risk of SAD. Those include, but are not limited to: * Gender. Studies have shown that SAD is more commonly diagnosed among women than men. However, the same research has indicated that men often have more severe symptoms. * Geography. Where a person lives is also a risk factor for SAD. The further a person lives from the equator, be it north or south, the higher the risk factor for developing SAD. That’s likely due to the harsh decrease in sunlight during the winter months in areas far from the equator. * Family history. In general, depression tends to run in families. Because SAD is a type of depression, family history can also be a risk factor. Are Treatment Options Available? First and foremost, persons suspecting they or a loved one are suffering from SAD should consult a physician and get a diagnosis. Those who are diagnosed with SAD do have treatment options available to them, including light therapy and medications.

Hematology Oncology Associates (HOA) offers our patients a wide variety of treatments. These range from standard of care treatments, which have been proven effective, to a variety of clinical trials in which investigational medications are given with or compared to a standard of care to aid in the discovery of future cancer therapies. Currently, we are accruing patients to over 80 different studies primarily through research administered by the National Cancer Institute. For over 24 years, HOA has been the recipient of a grant called the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) that aims to provide cutting edge research opportunities to communities throughout the nation. To compliment what is available through CCOP, we also participate in a few studies with pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, we have authored and initiated several studies ourselves. Our participation and initiative in oncology research has garnered national attention and several awards for excellence. To our surprise, word of our outstanding research program has recently reached around the globe. Yair Dotan is much like any of our other patients who participate in research.

Champs From page 11 had one of the most potent offenses Central New York had ever seen. At its heart was Tori Widrick, the senior going to Ball State, along with Vogl, a junior, and two more seniors, Abby Eschen and Belle Hoagland, each of whom could take over a game at any time. In support was a midfield that included EmmaJean Speer and Kara Stalder, but just as important was the experience Cazenovia possessed in the back. Goalie Emily Mastropaolo was a steady presence, and in front of her Raeanne Clabeaux, Ellen Burr, SarahRose Gabor and Molly Hudson could turn any kind of attack away with their sticks. Ever ything went smoothly in the regular season. Despite non-league defeats to Rome Free Academy and Camden, the Lakers went 14-2, increasing its win streak over Onondaga High School League foes to 59 games. It would also score 104 goals for the season, the most by any Section III team in a single season. The sectional playoffs passed without incident, as the Lakers handled Canastota, dominated the Class C final with Holland Patent despite a 1-0 winning margin (Hoagland’s late penalty stroke decided it), and destroyed New York Mills 7-0 in the C/D state qualifier at CNS on Nov. 6, a turf to which it would return a couple of weeks later.

Now came that all-important regional, the roadblock in years past. Only this time, it was Whitney Point, not Marathon, serving as the opposition – and in a personal tour de force Nov. 9 at Greene High School, Eschen served up a three-goal hat trick in a 3-1 Laker victory. As it turned out, the regional final against Greenwich Nov. 13 at Shenendehowa (near Albany) proved more harrowing. Cazenovia actually trailed, 1-0, at halftime, but pulled even late in the second half with Widrick’s goal, then won it 2-1 as Hoagland, just as he had done in the sectional final against HP, won it with a late penalty stroke. On the familiar CNS turf for the state final four the Lakers made short work of its semifinal against Briarcliff Manor, a 4-0 rout that left Cazenovia just one victory short of the ultimate prize. Pierson Bridgehampton stood in the way, and for 60 tense minutes of regulation it remained 0-0, Cazenovia wondering if would ever convert – especially after Hoagland saw a penalty stroke stopped early in the second half. Then came the overtime, with its seven-on-seven format designed to open up the field and allow someone a good chance to win it.

Cross country girls celebrate historic season By Kurt Wheeler Members of the Cazenovia Lakers girls varsity cross country team gathered for their team dinner on Nov. 17 to celebrate the most successful season in the program’s history. There was much to celebrate by season’s end, with the team achieving a series of “firsts” and establishing new records in nearly every category. The team swept through their regular season schedule, achieving a perfect 7-0 undefeated record in league contests, no small feat in the highly competitive Liberty Division of the Onondaga High School League which saw five of its eight teams state-ranked over the course of the season. The harrier’s league championship was its first ever in the OHSL and the first title of any type since a 1982 Tri-Valley League Championship. The Lakers were also highly successful at multi-school meets, winning its first small schools title among 30 competitors at the Baldwinsville Invitational and placing first among all Class B schools at the Chittenango, VVS and ES-M Invitationals as well as the OHSL Championship Meet. Cazenovia also won its second consecutive Madison County Championship with an exceptional performance that saw the Lakers claim nine of the first ten places. The team
presented to the Town Board of the Town of Cazenovia, New York, on November 1, 2010, proposed Local Law No. 7-2010, titled, “A Local Law to Amend Chapter 52 (Animals) of the Town Code of the Town of Cazenovia Relative to the Licensing and Identification of Dogs in the Town of Cazenovia.” Said Local Law, if enacted, will amend Chapter 52 (Animals) with respect to dog identification and licensing. The full text of said Local Law is on file at the Town Clerk’s Office at the Town Offices located at 7 Albany Street in the Town of Cazenovia for inspection by all interested persons. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that on November 1, 2010, the Town Board determined that this proposed Local Law is an unlisted action, there are no other involved agencies and the Town Board will act as lead agency in this matter; NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Town Board has determined that the adoption of proposed Local Law No. 7-2010 will have no significant impact on the environment, an environmental impact statement will not be required and has issued a negative declaration under SEQR.

Schools using maps on a computer. The collaborative project was a Thanksgiving-themed practice of deductive reasoning, camouflaged as a fun game of 20 Questions. The activity was titled “The Turkey Disguise Collaboration” and each school had designed a colorful turkey for the other to see. Pupils from both Tully and Cazenovia were remarkably well-behaved throughout the activity, exchanging friendly waves and a few quiet smiles. After each classroom had their turn guessing which turkey was chosen, the students had a chance to discuss a number of books that both they had recently read. The class-to-class collaborative project was coordinated by BOCES educators and facilitated by the New York State Distance Learning Consortium members. The event ran in numerous schools throughout New York state, as 10 other districts had also received new video conferencing hardware through the grant. Burton Street Librarian Kathy Elliot and Computer Technician Becky Fuller received training from BOCES and knowledgably conducted the conference. Many were in attendance on both sides of the screen. Cazenovia Superintendent Bob Dubik was present to witness the first transmission, as was Donna Fountain, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. Fountain was filled with excitement after the 40-minute conference. “There are a lot of possibilities with this equipment, and we are really looking forward to exploring more. I think it is really good for the kids to see what is out beyond us and that other kids are doing the same thing,” she said. While this technology has been available for years, what really makes this platform so successful is the social networking tool, CAPSpace. Over the
21
From page 1 Internet, 7,698 educators in 33 different countries are able to make connections and visit each other’s classrooms daily. The curriculum offered through the web has incredible potential. Students now have the opportunity to partake in distance learning; they can sit in on advanced courses not offered at their schools, take field trips to museums across the world, and even explore the universe with NASA scientists. In the next few months the school will be partaking in “Read Around the Planet,” organized by Two Way Interactive Connections in Education, a division of CAPSpace. Elliot and Fuller are incredibly proud to help make these collaborations possible and are optimistic for future transmissions. Fuller discussed the simplicity of the seemingly complicated technology. “We can hook up with anyone as long as we know their IP address, and the time zone difference finds them within the parameters of a normal school day,” she said. Elliot added: “It is a wonderful teaching tool, and it’s very exciting that we have received this equipment. The possibilities are truly limitless.” It’s impressive to consider how far technology in the classroom has come. Overhead projectors have been replaced with television screens and VCRs with DVD players. The video conferencing equipment is somewhat portable, and can be easily moved from classroom to classroom. An ethernet cable and an electrical outlet is all that’s required to take the students wherever they wish. While textbooks are still current and widely used, multiple daily hookups will soon allow students to not only look out the window and across the street, but through a window taking them across the planet.
