Yet one such unique attraction is all too often absent from the high-visibility list of local resources, the Cazenovia Ski Club. Tucked stealthily away beneath some of the county’s highest altitudes along Ridge Road and just above the valley vistas from Rathbun Road is some of the best skiing in all of New York state. This hidden gem boasts roughly 100 acres of incredibly diverse terrain, from heart-stopping “steeps,� to powder-laden glades, to groomed cruisers, and to gentle beginner trails.

CARDIAC REHABILITATION
How important is cardiac rehabilitation? It can reduce the risk of premature death among hospitalized heart patients by more than 20 percent. However, only about 12 percent of Medicare patients who are hospitalized for a heart condition or who undergo angioplasty or bypass surgery avail themselves of a cardiac rehabilitation program. Women are less likely to get cardiac rehab than men, and patients with the greatest likelihood of deriving benefit from cardiac rehab (such as older individuals and those with diabetes or a prior history of stroke) might be less likely to be referred to rehab. With all these factors in mind, heart patients emerging from surgery are encouraged to ask for a referral

The lifestyle changes made during rehabilitation have few risks and can improve your overall health and prevent future heart problems and even death.

Opinion Editorial
Let it snow, but drive safely
Central New York has seen an incredible amount of snowfall already and winter has just begun. While we wish everyone safe travels during the holiday season, we also ask you to remember to exercise caution when our children return from their school break, especially considering this is when the weather typically worsens. Motorists should also remember to exercise increased caution during the morning hours when our children are waiting for their school buses. Frigid winds, snow and ice trigger important winter weather safety reminders to motorists who share the road with school buses. Motorists should use extra precaution and allow plenty of room to stop when approaching or following a school bus as they make frequent stops loading and unloading students. While school buses are the safest way to get to and from school (nearly 10 times safer than walking to school and as much as 13 times safer than traveling in a passenger vehicle, according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), parents also need to exercise extra safety measures during the winter months. Tell your children to follow these guidelines: Dress appropriately for cold, icy weather - warm coats, gloves, hats and waterproof footwear. Passengers should not wear clothes with toggles or dangling key chains as they can get caught in the bus doors or on the handrail. Stop, look and listen – Remaining alert is so important for school children. Hoodies, headphones and portable electronic devices can distract students from paying attention to surrounding traffic. Never run after the bus. Plan ahead and allow sufficient time to get to the bus stop. Wait for the bus to stop completely before approaching the bus to get on or before standing up to get off. Always use caution when stepping on or off the bus and at crosswalks. We wish you all a happy and safe holiday season. Source: First Student, Inc.

Letters Local realtor says $110,000 too much for village property purchase
To the editor: On Wednesday Dec. 8th, as a public service to the Cazenovia Fire Department, I viewed the property located at 6 Farnham St. and adjacent to the fire department that the fire department in conjunction with the village of Cazenovia is considering to purchase. I was asked as a real estate professional with 16 years experience specializing in the Cazenovia area to offer my opinion of its market value. The two-family property on .11 acres is in complete disrepair and could be considered a tear down. Madison County tax records show its current total assessment to be $60,000, 80 percent of market value, which would place it at about $65,000. Based on the current real estate market, the condition of this home and its location, the market value I suggested to the fire department representative, was a generous $75,000. Much to my dismay, on the front page of the Dec. 15 Cazenovia Republican, it states that the village is considering a purchase price of $110,000. I invite the village to hire an independent apprasier to prepare a formal, professional market analysis before considering this potential offer as I consider it a misuse of taxpayer’s dollars at $110,000. My sense is that further due diligence is in order before proceeding to purchase. If the current owner/seller is unwilling to accept less than $110,000, I suggest that the owner place 6 Farnham St. on the open market through the multiple listing system with full disclosure regarding its liabilities to see what the market will bear and in the spirit of good citizenship, that the fire department/ village be given right of first refusal to purchase. Because of its location, this property is of value to the fire department and thus in conjunction with the village is a logical candidate to own if determined to be a wise purchase. Also, the address in the Republi-
can was 3 Farnham, with the correct address being 6 Farnham St. The village taxes of $800 was also inaccurate. The Cazenovia Village Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing public hearing at 6:45 p.m. on Jan. 3 to discuss the possibility of the buying this house next to the fire department. If you are interested in how your tax dollars are being spent, please attend. Cindy Clark Realtor RE/MAX Masters Real Estate
Thanks to community support, tree sale a huge success
To the editor: The Saturday following a week defined by 96 consecutive hours of snowfall created the perfect environment for Cazenovia Community Preschool’s Holiday Tree Sale on Dec. 11. So while Mother Nature is certainly deserving of thanks for contributing to the success of the event, a number of community members round out the list of those to whom extreme gratitude is due. Frolic Taylor, proprietor of Deer Hill Estate Bed and Breakfast, provided the quintessential setting for hearty tree hunters to cut their own trees and enjoy baked goods and hot chocolate, as well as visit with Santa and make reindeer food. Ms. Taylor’s generosity in donating the trees from her property is much appreciated. Event organizers, Rosemary Thompson and Torrey Lansing, recruited a dedicated group of volunteers to publicize the sale, bake delicious treats, make ornaments, man sale tables, take photos with Santa, and serve as “woodsmen.” Special acknowledgement is extended to Shelley Hausser, Joe Lansing, Kevin Thompson, Charlie Andrews, Scott Baker, John Ross, Peter Winkert, Chrissie Tyrrell-Baker, Renee Adams, Kelly Isbell, Stefanie Lints, Joe Lazarsky, Aileen Randolph, Christy Falso, Corinne Enders, Sue Lordon, Ken Cheal, Tricia Larkin, Karen Reynolds, Sue LaGorga, Jen Hunt,
Correction Cindy Clark’s letter to the editor correctly notes a typo in last week’s story, “Village of Cazenovia discusses purchasing new property.” The property is located at 6 Farnham Street, not 3 Farnham Street. Additionally, according to Village Clerk Katherine Burns, the village would lose closer to $430 a year in tax revenue if the property were taken off the tax roll. The $800 figure, which was presented at the Jan. 3 village board meeting, was incorrect.
Debbie Campbell and a special guest from the North Pole for their willingness to brave the cold and wear a smile throughout the day. Cazenovia Preservation Foundation’s notification of all CPF members with regards to the event ensured additional patrons and is gratefully acknowledged. A final thank you is extended to all who attended the Holiday Tree Sale. The unprecedented traffic jam on Burlingame Rd. was a sight to behold! All proceeds from the Tree Sale and the Christmas Walk booth are used by CCP to offer tuition scholarships. Community members are reminded to mark their calendars for CCP’s next fundraiser, the WinterFest SnowBall, to be held Saturday Feb. 5 at the Brae Loch Inn.

Preschool director advocates for Community Chest
To the editor: The annual fund drive for the United Community Chest of Cazenovia, Fenner, and Nelson has begun with a goal of raising $40,000. Please consider making a contribution to help realize this goal. Year after year, the United Community Chest provides vital funds to local organizations that serve our community in very important ways. In economically challenging times, the need for funding is ever greater while available funds seem to be harder to find. It has always been our mission at the Cazenovia Community Preschool to provide a quality preschool education to all area residents regardless of ability to pay. In recent years, CCP has seen an increase in families eligible for our tuition assistance. Last year, the funds received from the Community Chest allowed us to continue to offer our sliding scale, even as the need has significantly increased. CCP is very grateful for this support. The efforts of the volunteers and board members of the United Community Chest allow our community to continue to thrive. Please check your mailboxes for your Neighbors Helping Neighbors fund drive letter and consider a donation. Thank you for your support. Torrey Lansing Cazenovia Community Preschool Director
Bridge results
Salisburys win cozy, three-table game By Dave Bull Another cold and snowy December day in Caz kept all but our die-hard players at home. Our policy is: if there is school, there is bridge. There was school today and 12 bridge players
showed up for a cozy threetable game. Toni and Bob Salisbury found the only slam of the day and parlayed that into a winning performance with Penny Emerick and Dave Bull finishing a poor second. The group meets at
1 p.m. Tuesdays at the Cazenovia Public Library, usually in the community room. All games are open to the public, but we ask players to come with their own partners. We are not a sanctioned American Contract Bridge
League game by choice, so we don’t give ACBL master points and try to keep it a friendly game. The skill levels of our players vary considerably. Dave Bull is volunteer publicist for the Cazenovia Bridge Club.

Midwinter tends to make us go inward and snuggle or cozy up. Peanut butter seems to fit right in. Sometimes peanut butter is the “poor man’s” diet and symbolizes frugality and back to the basics. Or peanut butter is the simplicity of every kid’s lunch. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is actually quite nutritious and rich in folates, the naturally occurring form of the B vitamin folic acid, found useful in reduction of birth defects and lowered heart disease. Though peanuts come from Africa, there is another plant that yields a fruit that tastes just a little bit perhaps like peanut butter. From South America comes not a peanut butter sandwich but the remarkable “Peanut butter fruit” plant (Bunchosia argentea.) This upright plant can be grown as a large houseplant that will bloom with sprays of bright yellow flowers from spring
on each stem. The fruit is dense but soft and sugary, with a tiny hint of peanut butter! If you grow them in a greenhouse or conservatory with a lot of heat, fruiting will be even earlier. Try to keep the humidity up around 50 percent by misting the plants daily. Use a potting mix with a pH from 6.1 to 7.8. Peanut butter sandwiches aren’t usually the sign of a rich diet, and the peanut butter fruit plant is no different. Don’t overfeed it. You can dig in some organic fertilizer into the top of the soil every four to six weeks when the plant is actively growing, usually from early spring until late summer. Let the soil surface become dry between waterings. When you do water, soak the soil enough that water runs out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. This house plant does best in full sun. It grows anywhere from three

Peanut butter fruit plant (Bunchosia argentea) can be found at specialty nurseries or by mail from Logee’s (free catalog online at logees.com or by phone 888- 330-8038.) While the Saint Louis Fair claimed may not have invented things like the waffle-style ice cream cone, as claimed, the exposure of so many fairgoers from all walks of life and all areas of the country truly did popularize everything from hamburgers, hot dogs, iced tea, cotton candy, and of course peanut butter. What better to chase the winter blues than to tend to a houseplant that gives you not silly flowers nor boring herbs but a fruit with the taste of real peanut butter.

In history brave and courageous spirit (or perhaps by his stature) frightened the spector and it quietly disappeared and has not been seen or heard of since. 100 Years Ago December 22, 1910 – The post-office will be open the usual time Sunday, Christmas Day, and will be open until 10:00 am Monday, after which time it will be closed for the day. On Christmas day the chalice presented to Rev. Father Murphy by his former parishioners in Utica will be used for the first time. The cup is of solid gold studded with rubies and is of Father Murphy’s choice and design. The smartest reception given at the Seminary in a number of years was that tendered by the Philo-Eromathean societies to new members, in the gymnasium last Saturday evening. The societies departed from
the usual prosaic affair of past years and made the guests thoroughly at ease. The gymnasium which is usually so hard to decorate, presented a most artistic appearance festooned with evergreens and electric lights. Orchestra music played as the guests arrived and were presented to the receiving committee… 50 Years Ago December 22, 1960 – …The Rescue 12 Unit consisting of members of the Cazenovia Fire Department and headed by Doctor Robert Schramm, have recently purchased a “resuscitator-inhalatoraspirator” for emergency use in the Three-Townships area…the funds used are proceeds from the annual Easter Ball. Cannon Park is probably at its most beautiful…what with the Knights of Columbus Nativity scene and the blanket of pine trees for sale
right around it. Christmas music in the Village…an impartial poll of the pedestrian traffic, including business folk in the area, gave a majority endorsement to the playing of Christmas songs. After all, it’s only for a week. Frances T. Costello of Cazenovia has purchased the Nelson Inn of Mrs. Mary Oswald of Nelson…Mr. Costello plans to maintain the excellent reputation for Chicken-in-the-basket and Raw & Steamed Clams that the Inn has enjoyed. In addition Pizza will be sold both for on premises and take-out enjoyment as well as full course dinners. This column is compiled by Sharon Cooney from the Cazenovia Republican archives at Lorenzo State Historic Site in Cazenovia. It is written in the style of the time. Sharon Cooney is Interpretive Programs Assistant at Lorenzo.

We understand he will erect a mammoth ice house there, and that the grove will not be used for picnics any more. Rippleton – Our unusually quiet little hamlet was recently thrown into a state of excitement from the fact that Charlie Perkins had seen the ghost as he was going to Cazenovia one night recently. Unlike the young man of Oneida, his overcoat was not warped out of shape, nor did his hair stand perpendicular by the ghostly appearance, but on the contrary by his

American Red Cross Measles Initiative aims to immunize children It takes about a dollar to immunize one child against measles. The American Red Cross Measles Initiative, “Vaccinate a Village,” has immunized more than 700 million children in less than a decade. Recently, Cazenovia College students joined the effort, presenting a $500 check to the Red Cross, with money still coming in from their fundraising initiatives. The fundraising effort began because Erich Lange, of Greenfield Center, an international studies major at Cazenovia College, and Alicia Priest, of Warners, a human services major specializing in services for children and youth, needed a service learning project for their Introduction to Human Services class. Their instructor, Professor Mary Handley, had asked Angel Rivera, a 2010 alumna of Cazenovia College’s Human Services Program, to speak to the class about Americorps, and the Vaccinate a Village program, sponsored by the American Red Cross. Rivera is an Americorps VISTA youth services coordinator for the American Red Cross of Central New York. “The goal of $500 was set because it’s estimated that an average village might have about 500 inhabitants,” Rivera said. Lange and Priest decided they would take on “Vaccinate a Village” as their service learning project. They were joined in their efforts by Ashley Ference, of Hillsdale, an interior design major, and member of the Human Services Club, who chaired a bake sale.

James Hastie, left, and Angel Rivera stand with the donation check. Seated, from left, are Ashley Ference, Erich Lange and Alicia Priest display certificates of appreciation from the American Red Cross. Lange enlisted his uncle, a middle school teacher in Shippensburg, Pa., to host a “Hat Day.” Students each paid one dollar to be allowed to wear a hat in school. Priest organized her Introduction to Human Services Club to sell Christmas cards, and Ference organized a bake sale. In addition to these initiatives, the Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall hosted its inaugural craft fair, selling handmade art and craft items during Cazenovia’s annual Christmas Walk, with proceeds going to Vaccinate a Village. In accepting the check, James Hastie, major gifts officer for the American Red Cross of Central New York, said, “We’re very proud to accept this gift – I’ve been involved in fundraising for 20 years and I’m still amazed by the power and enthusiasm of students when they set their minds on reaching a goal.” Hastie also noted, “I also ask people to remember the Red Cross disaster
relief services - we have assisted the survivors of 19 fires in Onondaga and Oswego counties alone since Thanksgiving Day. We depend on philanthropists in the community to maintain our ability to help those in need.” Rivera has been a member of AmeriCorps VISTA since August of 2010. She is spending her year of full-time service with the Red Cross, helping to address the needs of lowincome communities. Her work is focused on building permanent infrastructure to help bring individuals and communities out of poverty. Visit americorps.gov for more information. To find out more about services provided by the American Red Cross, visit RedCrossCNY.org. For more information about Cazenovia College’s Human Services Club, contact Professor Mary Handley, the director of the Human Services Program, and adviser to the Human Services Club, at 655-7131 or mhandley@ cazenovia.edu.
New stallion comes to Caz College Equine Center Festrausch will teach students in college’s breeding program
Festrausch (Florestan-Carprilli), a 1994 Westfalen stallion from Hilltop Farm in Colora, Md., recently arrived at Cazenovia College, where he will be involved in teaching students at the Equine Education Center, standing at stud for the College’s breeding program and for breeders throughout the Central New York region and beyond. Brittany Callahan, of Wrightsville, Pa., is a senior in the Equine Business Management Program.

Federal programs offer conservation funding for landowners, farmers Deadline to sign up is Jan. 14 New York landowners, farmers, and forestland owners have until Jan. 14 to apply for 2011 conservation program funding. The programs falling within this deadline include the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative, the Agricultural Management Assistance Program and the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program. Conservation programs were authorized by Congress under the 2008 Farm Bill to provide funding and technical assistance to landowners who voluntarily implement conservation practices. These practices improve natural resources and wildlife habitat on privately owned agricultural land and forestlands. “We are pleased to offer landowners in New York opportunities to address resource concerns related to soil, water, air, plants and animals
through a variety of programs,” said NRCS State Conservationist Astor Boozer. “The result will be cleaner water, more productive soils, healthier forests, improved grasslands, and more abundant wildlife for all New York residents.” The Environmental Quality Incentives Program offers funding assistance in the form of engineered structures, such as manure handling facilities, and conservation practices such as grassed waterways. Focus areas within the EQIP program include livestock waste, cropland, and grazing. Private forestland owners have opportunities to improve forest health and productivity under the woodland program focus area. The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative assists producers to help minimize excess nutrients and sediments in order to restore, preserve, and protect the Chesapeake Bay. In New York, the Bay program offers funding and technical assistance to producers in the priority areas of the Upper Susquehanna Watershed. The Agricultural Management Assistance
Program focuses on improving irrigation efficiency. A primary goal of the program is to assist agricultural producers in mitigating risk through production diversification or installation of conservation practices. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program focuses on improving habitat for at-risk shrub-dwelling birds. Additional funding for this program was received as part of the New England/New York Forestry Initiative. Another focus within the program is establishing and enhancing grassland habitat for declining bird species, pollinators, and other wildlife. Applications for EQIP, CBWI, AMA, and WHIP are competitive and ranked based on national, state, and locally identified resource priorities, and their overall benefit to the environment. Interested landowners can apply for all programs at their local USDA-NRCS office. For sign-up details or additional conservation program information contact a local USDA-NRCS office or visit ny.nrcs.usda.gov.

GHD Service Group Manager Howard LaFever has been appointed to the nine-member board of directors of the newly formed Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure by American Public Works Association President George Crombie. In February 2009, Stearns & Wheler environmental engineers and scientists joined forces with international professional services company GHD; Stearns & Wheler has a regional office in Cazenovia.. The independent, non-profit ISI was formed by the three national organizations – the APWA, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Council of Engineering Companies. Its purpose is to create a sustainable infrastructure project rating system and certification program to enhance the sustainability of the nation’s non-building infrastructure. The system will allow owners, operators, designers, and builders to rate the infrastructure’s sustainability, at any point in the lifecycle, in a manner that is understandable, easy to utilize, and affordable. The program will provide guidance to engineers and public works practitioners to plan and deliver infrastructure solutions that achieve higher levels of sustainable performance in the community and environment while being responsible stewards of public and private spending. LaFever, with 41 years of engineering experience, is a Board Certified Environmental Engineer with specialty certification in Environmental Sustainability and Water & Wastewater.

Ski Club
From page 1 Central New York’s winters and a strong desire for local adventures with family and friends. But the club’s culture transcends the singular enjoyment of winter athleticism. Indeed, most participants are folks who place a large emphasis on trust and cooperation, both on the hill and in life. “This is a characterbuilding club as much as anything, and is one of the few remaining ski clubs of its kind,� said long-time member and current board seat holder Scott Falso. The entire ski area’s operations are handled by club members themselves, from lift maintenance, to ski patrol, to trail grooming, as well as year-round social events. Even the snow making operation is managed by enthusiastic volunteers who brave frigid temperatures and 2 a.m. shifts to ensure a consistent quantity and quality manmade output. The Cazenovia Ski Club has had its share of ups and downs over the years. The ski industry’s 1980s rough patch spelled the demise of local ski areas Mystic Mountain and Ironwood Ridge, but though the ski club’s membership dwindled to a small core during those
years, it managed to hang on through sheer will of spirit. Through those ups and downs, reams of ski club lore has accumulated which has been passed down from generation to generation. M a ny m e m bers tell stories of former race team member and eventual Olympic great Vicki Fleckenstein, breaking numerous local records as a young ski racer.

world.� The property’s location allows it to harness Mother Nature’s winter goodness to its fullest potential. Prevailing northwesterly winds collect the accumulated snow from the meadows of Ridge Road and distribute it generously across the club’s terrain. An unofficial rule of thumb among members is that if you want to know how much new snow there is to ski on, simply take the amount of snow in the village and double it. The ski area is steeped in Cazenovia tradition. The woodsy slopes were first cleared for skiing in the 1930s by a group of hearty local residents who were keen to participate in the alpine craze that was sweeping the nation on the heels of the 1932 Lake Placid Olympics. The early enthusiasts ascended the rugged slopes by virtue of a portable rope tow, powered by an old Ford Model-A motor. Ultimately, these pioneers purchased the property and incorporated as the Cazenovia Ski Club in 1941. Over the ensuing decades the ski club developed a deeply rooted culture, defined by participants who share a passion for

instructs several courses in the breeding program, and also coordinates internship placements for students in the Equine Business Management Program. “We are pleased that Hilltop Farm placed Festrausch at our college when they needed time and room for the young stallions coming into their showing and breeding program,� she said. “We have been very fortunate to stand quality stallions at our college. Adding a stallion like Festrausch to our program continues and advances this trend. He is a magnificent animal and we are all very excited to offer him to the public for the 2011 breeding season.� Natalie DiBeradinis, general manager and breeding manager of Hilltop Farm, Inc., noted that Festrausch’s “bloodlines, incredible movement, and elegant type stood him apart, and it is the movement and character he passes to his offspring that have made many of his breeders very loyal to him over the years.�
DiBeradinis continued, “We’ve had a wonderful association with Cazenovia for many years through their internship programs, and Hilltop Farm appreciates the quality of education they are providing to our future professionals. Their facility is top-notch and with the retirement of their current stallion, we knew they needed an exceptional stallion to bring additional focus and opportunities to their program.� For information about Cazenovia College’s Equine Business Management program, contact Barbara Lindberg at 655-7212, or e-mail belindberg@cazenovia.edu.

Caz hockey stops Lakers lose Stec, still Clinton, Oswego rip Skaneateles By Phil Blackwell Barely a week into the season, the Cazenovia ice hockey team has already climbed to the top spot in the Division II rankings on the heels of two impressive wins against league foes. A key to that success was last Tuesday night’s visit to Clinton Arena, where the Lakers did lots of early damage and produced a 4-1 victory over the Warriors. Under a new head coach in John Hughes, Clinton, trying to restore some of its former majesty (it won back-to-back state Division II titles in 2005-06), had started 2-0 and were on its historic home ice, looking for a breakthrough. Cazenovia did not get cowed, though, fighting its way to a 2-1 lead through one period, then adding two more goals in the second period to pull away. Joe Nardella, with three assists, and Sean Cannizzaro, with two assists, anchored the attack. Connor Cannizzaro earned two goals as Brian Gara added one goal and one assist. Sam Lewis also score as Kyle Murray contributed an assist. And the Lakers didn’t stop there, venturing north to Crisfaulli Rink (also known as “The Fort”) and watching Brian Gara take charge against league newcomer Oswego in a 6-2 romp of the Buccaneers. Again, Cazenovia staked itself to a 2-1 firstperiod edge and, again, made its big move in the second period, skating its way to a 5-2 lead to all but put the game away. Whatever took place, Gara was in the middle of it, carrying the Lakers as he found the net four times and assisted on Cazenovia’s
other two goals – both by Nardella. Sean Cannizzaro finished with a pair of assists as Nardella also got an assist. Hamilton, in its Division I opener against Utica Proctor, got its own career effort from senior Alex Foster – and needed it to beat the Raiders 8-6 at Utica Memorial Auditorium. The Emerald Knights established its twogoal margin, 4-2, in a wild first period. For the rest of the game, every time Proctor would get on the board, Hamilton would answer, and usually with Foster putting a shot in the net. Before he was done, Foster had notched six goals, the most of any individual in a Section III game this season. Brandon Thomas and Charlie DeCock had the other goals, with Ryan MacDowell earning three assists. Sam Hale, Nick Koen and Kam Mikulka joined DeCock in the assist column as goalie Brady Carroll recorded 31 saves. Back home at Colgate’s Starr Rink on Friday, the Emerald Knights faced Cicero-North Syracuse and again saw its defense struggle in a 6-1 loss to the Northstars. Alex Brink’s first-period goal produced a 1-1 tie, but CNS took charge with four unanswered tallies in the second period. Brian Hamilton, in particular, led the Northstars as he landed four goals and two assists to negate Carroll’s 25 saves. Hamilton would visit Central Square Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Cazenovia awaits a showdown with Skaneateles (whom it beat in last year’s Section III Division II semifinal) at the IcePlex Tuesday and a date with New Hartford on Thursday night. The Spartans are reigning state champions, but have started 0-2 after a mass departure of most of its top players.
By Phil Blackwell At least in the early stages, the Cazenovia girls basketball team is showing every intention to challenge for the OHSL Liberty division regular-season title again – even as its top player is forced to sit out for a while. In the second quarter of the Lakers’ season-opening 53-38 win over Bishop Ludden on Dec. 10, senior forward Ashley Stec, already signed to attend Manhattan College in the NCAA Division I Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, suffered an ankle sprain. Cazenovia head coach Steve Miles said that Stec is expected to miss at least two weeks of action, but should be back in time for some key league contests in January. Meanwhile, Caroline Franz has replaced Stec in the starting lineup, and the Lakers continue to flourish. In its only action of the week, Cazenovia went to Skaneateles last Tuesday and beat those other Lakers 62-38. A steady, productive attack helped Cazenovia take control in a fast-paced first quarter, leading 23-15 at the end of it. Gradually, the defense took hold, too, especially in the third period, when it held Skaneateles to four points and expanded its lead to 52-28. Raeanne Clabeaux continued her fast start, setting a career mark with 22 points that included nine field goals, while Ellen Burr worked his way to 16 points. Skaneateles could not con-
centrate on them, either, as Colleen Dougherty and reserve Maggie Carpenter put up nine points apiece. In that win over Ludden, Clabeaux had established herself as a new force with 19 points, while Carpenter put up 12 points and Burr added 10 points. This came just three weeks after Burr and Clabeaux, as starting defenders, helped Cazenovia’s field hockey team win the state Class C championship. Cazenovia’s boys team still looked for its first win of the season, but could not keep up with Skaneateles last Tuesday in a 65-49 defeat at Buckley Gym. Having lost to Bishop Ludden in the Carrier Dome two days earlier, Skaneateles, considered to be one of the OHSL Liberty division favorites, was eager to bounce back. For a while, Cazenovia kept up, only trailing 22-20 before a decisive second quarter where Skaneateles outscored them 21-6. The margin grew to 59-33 before Cazenovia could recover and finish strong. Tanner Whiteman did produce 15 points. Tom Toole had seven points, while Ben Romagnoli and Travis Mimms each got six points. On Sknaeateles’ side, senior forward Pat Roberts led with 20 points as Kevin Rice added 16 points. Both Cazenovia teams meet Marcellus this week – the girls on Tuesday, the boys on Wednesday - in the last action for both teams before the holiday break.

Canastota volleyball improves to 5-0 Already 3-0 going into the second full week of the regular season, the Canastota girls volleyball team did not let up one bit. The Raiders went to Waterville last Monday and dominated the Indians in a 25-7, 25-7, 25-12 sweep. Despite the short amount of court time, Jessica Patterelli still picked up
22 assists and 11 digs. Up front, Stephanie Thornton had nine kills, while Melissa Krak had eight kills and five digs. Hallie Chandler contributed six kills and five blocks. Tracy O’Hern had four kills and four digs. Three days (and one big snowstorm) later, the Raiders had the same kind of result at Laidlaw Court
against Sherburne-Earlville, sweeping the Marauders 25-10, 25-10, 25-16. O’Hern took on a much larger role, earning 12 kills, three blocks and two aces, with Patterelli earning 20 assists, plus six aces and three digs. Rounds picked up five assists, three aces and three digs as Chandler and Thornton each finished
with four kills. Melissa Krak added three kills. Morrisville-Eaton found its way into the win column that same night, going to Sherburne-Earlville and putting together a 25-14, 25-23, 25-23 sweep of the Marauders. Stephanie Davis finished with 10 kills, while Sam Conklin excelled on the defensive side with
14 digs. Ashley Kincaid had four kills and three digs. Both M-E and Hamilton played on Friday. The Warriors erased a 2-0 deficit against DeRuyter, winning the third and fourth sets but falling in the fifth set to the Rockets in a 25-20, 25-17, 21-25, 23-25, 25-18 decision. Hamilton, meanwhile,
15
lost to Cooperstown 25-18, 25-18, 25-13, then struggled again Saturday in a three-set defeat to Mount Markham, which made up a snowed-out match from earlier in the week. Against the Mustangs, Emily Powrie had six kills and Hannah Sorosky recorded seven assists.

Canastota, M-E wrestlers both earn wins By Phil Blackwell
man 11-5, after which Anthony Micaroni (145 pounds) pinned James Koperda midway through the third period. By far, the most important win came in the 160-pound match. Having seen Wyatt Albanese (152 pounds) lose 3-0 to Kevin O’Rourke, Sam Farfaglia went out and, in a classic with Matt Fay, force overtime, then get the win-
ning takedown to win 12-10. Right after that, Tyler Sirota (171 pounds) pinned Kyle Platt in 1:05 and Fred Sherman won a 189-pound decision over Devin Riegler 8-4 before a forfeit to Zach Zupan clinched the victory. As for M-E, it found the win column by beating SherburneEarlville 50-36, helped by forfeits to Alex Marris (140 pounds) and
Mike Vreeland (145 pounds), but still getting enough points elsewhere against the Marauders. Orin Broulette, at 103 pounds, began a streak by pinning Calvin Minkler in 3:36, as Patrick Ashcraft (112 pounds) got a 16-1 technical fall over Dustin Mosley and Barney Prince (119 pounds) held off Alec Sheddon 3-0.

Moving into Center State Conference action, the Canastota and Morrisville-Eaton wrestling teams both would notch earlyseason victories. For the Raiders, it meant going to Boonville last Tuesday night and, with a late comeback, beating the Adirondack Wildcats by a
score of 39-32. Of the first six matches, Adirondack won five of them, the only break for Canastota coming with a forfeit to Jake Popple at 119 pounds. It was only after Anthony Finochiarro (135 pounds) claimed a forfeit that the rally started. Billy Rinauto earned a 140pound decision over Tom Free-

Caz indoor track girls open with big win By Kurt Wheeler
Hollie Marcelle, shown in action during the 2010 outdoor Section III championship, helped the Lakers to a team win and section-leading times in two relays to open their indoor track season. She led off the 4x800 and anchored the 4x400 to wins during the Dec. 17 meet at Colgate University. Submitted photo

From page 16
In back-to-back matches, Mitch VanOrmer (171 pounds) pinned Dalton Sopchak late in the second period and Dylan Perry, at 189 pounds, took just 54 seconds to finish off Brenon Bennett. Brian Schenk (135 pounds) pinned Ryan Wilcox in 1:50 and Jonathan Metz, at 152 pounds, earned his pin over Donovan Gale late in the second period. Both teams spent the weekend at Camden, competing in the two-day Tri-Valley Tournament, where Oneida and VernonVerona-Sherrill were also part of the 19team field. Canastota finished fifth, with 111 points, as Fulton (191.5 points) took the top spot. Finocchiaro, in the 130-pound final, edged Dan Gormley (Bainbridge-Guilford-Afton) 5-3, while Zupan pinned Nick Muckey (Fulton) in 3:50 for the 171-pound title and Sirota, at 160 pounds, beat James Segars (Cicero-North Syracuse) 13-6 to claim that title. Chittenango finished just behind Canastota with 100 points to take sixth place, with Cody Carbery reaching the 103-pound final before falling to Tyler Wood (Queenbury) in a 5-2 decision. VVS was 12th with 85 points as both Oneida and M-E finished in the back of the field. Cazenovia, off for most of the week, went to the North Country Invitational at Indian River and took 13th place in a 19-team field with 59.5 points. Brad Nardella beat Curtis Barney (Canandaigua) 6-2 for third place at 125 pounds, while Ryan Cook held off General Brown’s Brian Lear 5-2 to get third at 130 pounds. Carter Biviano was fourth at 103 pounds and Teddy Kugler got fourth at 140 pounds.

The Cazenovia Lakers girls indoor track and field team opened their 2010-11 campaign on Dec. 17 at Colgate with an impressive first place finish among all Mohawk Valley Indoor Track Association teams. The Lakers scored 90 points, easily out-distancing runner-up Clinton (59 points) and Class A and AA powerhouses New Hartford (57) and Rome Free Academy (54). Cazenovia scored in every event, winning six of 12 and placing second in three others as they dominated the 15-team field. The Lakers jumped out to a commanding lead as they won the first four events on the track. Paige Biviano (9.63) and Beth Marcelle (11.21) led off the scoring with a victory in the 55meter hurdle event. The 4x800 meter relay of Hollie Marcelle (2:32), Caroline Marshall (2:39), Margaret Wolsey (2:41) and Emma
Wolsey (2:46) captured their race in 10:38, the fastest time in Section III so far this season. Not to be outdone, the 4x200 and 4x400 relays also took first in section-leading times. Ashley Winn, Isabel Stockmar, Audrey Bowers and Jill Vogl outran the competition in 1:54.27 while Winn, Jackie O’Sullivan, Emmajean Speer and Hollie Marcelle won in 4:28.87. The 4x1500 meter relay of Jeanette Cudney (5:26), Alex Dolbear (5:39), Rachel Grimm (5:53) and Tori Wright (6:01) placed second overall in their event with Cudney finishing below the sectional qualifying time. In the Sprint Medley Relays, the team of Meghan Karmis, Emily Clipston, Kara Stalder and Abby Eschen were second overall in 5:15.88 while Katelyn Parrella, Anna Schultz, Lindsay Loeper and Becca Wheeler captured third in 5:23.61. The Laker throwing duo of Christy Tainter and
Grace Eberle led the way in the field events as they took the top two places to claim first in the shot put (25-10 and 25-7 respectively). They were also runnersup in the 20-pound weight throw (25-2 for Eberle and 20-8 for Tainter). Cazenovia continued its tradition of excellence in the pole vault as Piper Gianforte was the overall winner at 8-0, teaming up with Michelle McGinnis (6-0) to tie for first as a team. Paige Biviano and Laura Fitch each cleared 4-8 to place second in the high jump relay. Audrey Bowers was first overall in long jump (13-9) and teamed up with Emily Willard (11-0) to claim second as a team while Hannah Light-Olson triple jumped 27-0 to capture sixth place. The Lakers were back in action on Dec. 21 at Colgate. Results from that meet will be included next week. Kurt Wheeler coaches the indoor girls track team.
Looking back at CNY sports in 2010 By Phil Blackwell Seems like we spend a lot of time at this time of year reminiscing - nothing wrong with that, if there are things worth reminiscing about. And there’s plenty in 2010 that falls into the “memorable category”, so if you don’t mind I’ll spend the next couple of columns touching on the seminal moments of this sports year. This week, it’s the high school picture, and quite a pretty one. Not in the decade-plus time I’ve spent at this desk as there been so many state champions to follow from the first day of practice to their crowning glory. And no two of them were alike, even if they were from the same schools and featured, at times, the same athletes. Jamesville-DeWitt and Westhill both pulled off winter-spring state championship doubles. With the boys basketball Red Rams, it’s turning into an annual rite (three in a row now), and the threat for four and five is real with two more years of DaJuan Coleman. J-D’s boys lacrosse heroes had it tougher, losing Jake Bratek to injury – but it still went to Long Island and rolled past Garden City, proving that a great team is far more than just one star. As for Westhill, the key factors were obvious. With trademark defense and great senior leadership, Kevin King’s basketball charges beat everyone back as it gained a championship to match the last one it earned in 1997. And with Kevin McAvoy’s live arm, the baseball Warriors avenged two
losses to Bishop Ludden, then cruised the rest of the way to a second straight title in Binghamton – even through a state final four that saw a venue change and a last out recorded close to midnight. You also had an ice hockey sweep. West Geneseesomehow made it through 25 games without a blemish, capping it off with the miraculous comeback against Suffern in the semifinals and the titlegame shutout of Saratoga Springs. New Hartford had it tougher in Division II, needing overtime just to get out of the sectional finals, but then handling the rest to go back-to-back as it beat Queensbury 5-2 in front of the home folks in Utica. The fall brought four more instances of great teams reaching the top spot. Three were quite familiar, while the other took the perfect route. It was, of course, the Skaneateles boys soccer Lakers going 22-0 and winning it all in Class B. To do that required a deep and lethal offense, a superb defense (two goals allowed in the entire post-season) and some amount of good fortune. It also meant beating good local Class AA teams (CNS, West Genesee, CBA) and handling the pressure of staying undefeated, which they did, to say the least. For two other state champions, it was an event years in the making. Baldwinsville, in Class AA girls volleyball,
had made the sectional title part routine, but had just missed in two previous trips to the state Class AA show in Glens Falls. This time, with a deep front line and two rock-solid anchors in the back (Brianna Stewart to set, Becca Maher to defend), the Bees survived the round-robin and two deficits to Webster Schroeder and pulled it out in five. In the case of Cazenovia’s field hockey Lakers, it was the same story – a lot of sectional success, but nothing more, prior to 2010. It all fit this time, though, especially a record-setting offense where Tori Widrick, Belle Hoagland, Abby Eschen and Jillian Vogl supplied the goals. And it was Vogl, with two tallies in the state semifinal and the overtime game-winner in the finals, that had the final say to get her school a first-ever team state championship. Now here comes the unfair part. Each of the above teams has made their communities proud, going as far as one can in our system. The only drawback is an ability to compare them to other great programs across the country. Then there’s Fayetteville-Manlius girls cross country. Providing yet another exclamation point to yet another wondrous autumn of running far ahead of the pack, the Hornets went to Oregon See Looking back, page 18

On Dec. 4, 2010, Carl Baum Leland, 96, after a long residency at the Lutheran Homes in Clinton. Mr. Leland, second son of Issac Leland and Louise Baum Leland, was a descendent of Col. Joshua Leland and his wife Waitstill who, in 1793, were among the earliest settlers in the Chenango Valley. He grew up in Hamilton in a family of village merchants, which influenced the course of his life. After graduating from Colgate University in 1937, he traveled throughout Northern New York on behalf of the CIT Corporation, which provided financing to car dealers. During the War Years from 1942 to 1945, he was responsible for coordinating transportation for 8,000 employees of the Massena Works of the Aluminum Company of America. With the end of gas rationing and the resumption of domestic automobile and truck production in 1946, Mr. Leland opened his first business, Leland Motors,
in Massena. The business specialized in the servicing of all vehicles and the sale of heavy duty Ford snow plow trucks to local villages and townships. In 1948, he bought the Ford dealership in Canton, NY, where he moved the snow plow business and his young family. Two years later, he bought the Ford dealership in Ogdensburg and continued to operate both dealerships for several years until the Canton business was sold. Mr. Leland operated the Ogdensburg dealership until its sale in 1964, after which he and family moved to Fayetteville. He owned and operated the Ford dealership in Cazenovia, NY from 1965 until his retirement as a business owner in 1976. His selling passion was for trucks, especially those equipped to handle the heavy winter snows of Upstate New York. Mr. Leland was an historian with a particular interest in writing about the stories and legends of Madison County and other places in Central and
Northern New York. In his later years, he recounted numerous stories about historical events and people in articles published in the Mid-York Weekly. He was an organizer of and regular contributor to the writers’ club at the Fayetteville Seniors Center. Mr. Leland is predeceased by brothers, Darwin and Dexter; former wife, Eleanor Onofrey; and daughter, Constance Ann. He is survived by three children, Robert of Washington, DC; Lawrence of Manlius; and Natalie Kinsella-Flatt of East Syracuse, NY. He is also survived by ten grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. The interment of ashes is planned for spring 2011 in the Pine Woods family cemetery near Hamilton, NY. Arrangements have been entrusted to Burgess & Tedesco Funeral Home, Morrisville, NY. To send a condolence or sign the Book of Memories online go to burgessandtedescofuneralhomes.com.

Everything from maniacal training to the old standby, steroids, was brought up. A bit jealous, are we? Bill Aris, the coach responsible for this dynasty, clearly says otherwise.
