facilities project By Tami S. Zimmerman editor@eaglebulletin.com

Fayetteville-Manlius residents will have a chance to vote on a $10.5 million referendum March 1. The F-M Board of Education unanimously approved its facilities project at the Jan. 10 meeting, which includes building a new $3 million bus garage/ transportation office at its current site near Wellwood Middle School. More than 50 residents attended the meeting, down about 100 from the BOE’s special Jan. 2 meeting, when it first learned the results of a traffic study on Broadfield Road – one of the sites the board considered to build a new garage. The study, conducted by Clough Harbour, ruled the location unsuitable for a transportation center due to traffic, inadequate site distances and narrow roads. The facilities committee consequently met again last week to further discuss its options; the study results convinced members that the cons to build on Broadfield outweighed the pros. The committee’s recommendation ultimately coincided with the district

administration’s to rebuild on Franklin Street in the village of Fayetteville. The existing center, built in 1951, has numerous structural deficiencies, thus providing unsafe work conditions for employees. Storage space is also a concern. Demolition and reconstruction is the best option, officials said. During Monday night’s public comment period, most residents’ questions continued to focus on the site that board members told them was off the table. Their most pressing question: Would Broadfield Road become an option again if residents vote down the referendum? Board President John Cucinotta responded: “If the voters say no, that means the referendum fails and we are back at square zero. We can put up the same referendum again or put up a different referendum or different site.” Cucinotta noted there weren’t many other sites to consider; the board researched 12 locations. If voters approve the referendum, construction of a new transportation center would begin next year and last about four months. The bus garage is one of several See F-M BOE, page 5

Manlius recreation director retires By Tami S. Zimmerman editor@eaglebulletin.com After almost 30 years employed as the town of Manlius recreation director, Steve Miller has retired. He’ll miss it all, he said about his longtime career, from supervising special events, sports camps and staff to working with all aspects of the budget. The best part of the job, though, was the ability to be creative and see firsthand the fruits of their labor. “It’s great to see the smiles on both children and adults when they are enjoying one of our programs,” he said. Under Miller’s leadership, the department accomplished long-lasting, successful events such as the community center haunted house that ran from 2000 to 2007. The Learn to Swim program held at Green Lakes State Park offers opportunities for area youth to learn swimming skills in a beach front setting. The annual summer musical is a consistent hit, too. “There is some amazing talent in this town,” said Miller, whose last day was Dec. 28. “And I don’t know of another municipality that offers this type of theater event. It’s something we’re very proud of.” In the 1980’s, the department expanded one small summer playground that served about 40 children at Fremont Elementary School, to three sites throughout town. Now, more than 500 children each year enjoy these spots. Peggy Kenyon, recreation supervisor who succeeds

Miller as director, worked with him for 17 years. “His main goal [has] always [been] to serve the public and provide them with quality programs that helped improve their enjoyment of life,” Kenyon said. “He [knows] the value of recreation in a person’s life no matter what their age.” Miller is a also true professional, she added. He served on both the Central New York Recreation and Park Society and the New York State Recreation and Park Society, and co-chaired two of the NYSRPS conferences. “Steve [has] always [been] someone to look up to and go to with any questions because, for more than 29 years, he worked to keep the residents happy and proud to be living in the town of Manlius,” she said. Recreation Supervisor Kristine Zingaro is thankful to have worked with Miller for more than a decade. “This was my first job in municipal recreation,” she said. “Steve made it a great place to work, with his knowledge of recreation, the town of Manlius and his love for what he did.” Miller extends a huge thank you to his staff, Kenyon, Zingaro and secretary Jackie Maher: “Without such a great team, we would not be nearly as successful.” His retirement plans include a few months relaxing at home before seeking part-time employment. “I like to stay busy and productive,” he said. “Putting a smile on someone else’s face is something we should all try to do everyday.”

FDA may approve genetically modified fish By Justin Kaskel Do you ever take a second to think about what is really in your bag of potato chips? All the artificial ingredients ranging from high fructose corn syrup and “orange #4” have become such a staple in our diets that most people don’t blink twice when seeing them on a label. But how about consuming genetically engineered salmon? If this raises your eyebrows you’re not alone. The FDA is on the verge of approving what many now call “Frankenfish,” which could be in your local supermarket within a few years. But what may seem like a creation out of a scifi movie may not be as bad as some people think, and there are certainly some strong opinions from both sides of the aisle. If someone were to tell you 10 years ago that in the very near future a laboratory-produced fish could be on dinner

plates, you’d most likely think they were crazy. But if the experts are right, this could become reality within the next 24 months, according to a recent ABC news report. Developed by the American company, AquaBounty Technologies, the “AquAdvantage Fish” is a genetically-modified farm-raised salmon that grows to maturity in half the time a regular salmon does, or approximately two years. The way this technology works is that scientists have figured out how to take part of the growth gene of the Chinook salmon and insert it into a regular salmon egg. Chinook Salmon grow year round, versus regular pink salmon, which do not grow during the winter. This would allow salmon farmers to get more of their product to market at a much faster pace, reports BusinessWeek. Early clinical data conducted by AquaBounty Technologies, which has been supported by the FDA, has suggested there are virtually no side effects or nutritional differences between regular salmon and its genetically See Food, page 8

Joanie was our Bette Davis Whenever Joan Vadeboncoeur reviewed a movie at a private press screening, she brought her own ashtray and chain-smoked through the entire film. She was a character who knew who she was and you could take it or leave it. She wore kids’ socks with images of rabbits or offbeat stripe patterns. Whenever she reviewed a stage play, she’d be up out of her seat and out the door before the curtain call. Her affinity for cigarettes – having out-lived its politically correctness in recent years – was celebrated nonetheless by “Joanie’s Smoke Break,” a series of video interviews shot by Post-Standard feature writer Hart Seely. Joan E. Vadeboncoeur died Jan. 4 at her Cazenovia home. She was 78.

“For me, Joanie was the last of those great iconic newspaper dames I saw in the movie houses of yesteryear, and in the films she so loved she almost certainly would’ve had to have been played by the great Bette Davis,” said Frank Malfitano who Vadeboncoeur worked with her on the 1986 tribute to Jimmy Van Heusen here and on the early-1990s downtown Walk of Stars. “No one else could have come close to capturing Joanie’s presence and power on screen. She was a giant and Hollywood would’ve had to cast a giant to play her.”

Job hunting? DCL can help By Carol Youngs

There’s a new service at the DeWitt Community Library: One-on-one resume/cover letter review. Working toward submitting a resume to a prospective employer? Trying to think of the best wording to craft a special cover letter? I’d be pleased to assist you. Among many patrons whom I’ve recently helped with resumes and cover letters is Iris K. Evans of Fayetteville, a Spanish tutor with office and human service experience who is eyeing a full-time career that will best use her many skills. Creatively and patiently, Iris worked with me to prioritize her top skills and achievements at the top of her resume. Her two-page first draft resume is now a finely honed one-page document highlighting her best experiences and illustrating more clearly what she has to offer a prospective employer. Iris took the draft we worked on, tweaked it a bit, and came back to visit with me for a final review. A few weeks ago I helped a prospective graduate student edit an admissions essay. For those who like to work on their own first, check out our laptop loaner (in library use, ages 16-plus). Just present your library card and a picture I.D. at the reference desk.

items included in the facilities project and costs less than one-third of the total project. Other capital improvements include locker and elevator replacement at Eagle Hill Middle School; a full fire alarm system replacement at Wellwood Middle School; an HVAC replacement, casework and flooring replacement at

Fayetteville Elementary School; and interior door and frame replacements at the high school. High school funds would also go to field drainage, irrigation and sod replacement, but if the turf field project goes through, that money would be allocated to additional infrastructure needs, officials said.

Because voters approved a capital reserve fund last May, officials said there is already money set aside, and there would be no tax impact on residents. The referendum is scheduled to take place on Tuesday March 1 at Fayetteville Elementary School. Polls will be open from 7 am. to 9 p.m.

Schools Woodland Elementary student â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;breaks the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Break the Bank,â&#x20AC;? especially in the current economy, but last Friday one lucky Woodland elementary school student had the chance to do just that. Kindergartener Aiden King demonstrated that when you are a good saver it gives you the ability to break the bank occasionally. Aiden had 60 seconds to show his classmates what a good saver he is by depositing oversized coins into a giant piggy bank. The coins were minted with ESM School Superintendent Donna DeSiatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face (DeSiato Dimes) and CORE Federal Credit Union CEO Bill Sweeneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face (Sweeney Cents).

For each coin Aiden deposited, he got to smash a small piggy bank filled with cash. Aiden smashed his way to a $215 deposited into his CORE savings account. Break the Bank is sponsored by CORE Federal Credit Union as an incentive to encourage students to save consistently. Over the past few years, the school district and credit union have collaborated on a variety of financial literacy programs to help encourage good savings habits and increase student financial literacy, including a high school student run credit union, a district-wide bank at school program and student-facilitated adult education seminars.

CBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perkins achieves Eagle Scout status Christian Brothers Academy student Sidney Perkins recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable from the Boy Scouts of America. To achieve this designation, a Boy Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges, while also demonstrating service, spirit and leadership. A key element in the process is completion of an extensive service project, which the scout organizes and leads. Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project took place in the Adirondack Mountains along the Oswegatchie River. He supervised 18 volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both family members and Boy Scouts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as they cleaned up campsites and hauled out two boatloads of compressed trash. The project also included

digging fire pits and staining lean-tos. Perkins had to lead his team to the site by boat and on foot, while also planning the food, team activities and work assignments. Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court of Honor was held Dec. 27, one day before his 16th birthday. He is a member of Troop 62, based Eagle Scout Sid Perkins and his dad, in Tully. Jeff.

CBA volleyball goes 3-0; J-D wins twice By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

A busy first week of 2011 saw Christian Brothers Academy, Jamesville-DeWitt and East Syracuse-Minoa’s girls volleyball teams each engage in multiple matches. CBA’s roared out in last Monday’s match against Solvay, winning the opening set 25-10. And once it survived a 26-24 second set, it breezed to a 25-18 win in the third set to complete the sweep. Claire Gollegly set up points with her 14 assists and Kelly Bewley got nine assists, with Alexis Koval contributing 11 digs on the defensive side. On the front line, duties were just as split, with Ivanka Temnycky and Sophie Racciati getting six kills apiece as Becky Scullin, Marisa Hamel and Kara Modliszewski gained four

kills apiece. On Thursday, the Brothers swept Jordan-Elbridge 25-10, 25-18, 25-16. Gollegly had 11 assists and three kills, with Bewley contributing eight assists as Modliszewski had five kills. Scullin and Hamel each had four kills. Then CBA beat Chittenango in four sets on Saturday, taking the first two sets by equal 25-17 margins, losing the third 25-10 but holding on in the fourth 2522. Temnycky (seven kills) and Racciati (six kills) split front-line duties as Bewley got 11 assists and Gollegly added 10 assists. Jamesville-DeWitt lost the first set to Phoenix 25-23, but then won the next three sets 25-20, 25-15 and 25-18 to conquer the Firebirds. Ally Loewy and Diane Casinella each had seven kills, with Loewy adding five

digs and three aces as Jenna Hayward got six blocks and four kills. Taylor Bierwagen picked up four kills and four aces. Emily Parker (14 assists), Lena Winterman (10 assists) and Sonia Naripur (eight assists) shared the back-line duties. The Rams then made it back-to-back wins Tuesday by doing the same thing to Cortland. It nearly fell behind 2-0 in sets, but after losing the opener 25-19, J-D pulled out the second set 25-23, then won the third set 25-17 and finished off the Purple Tigers in a tense 25-23 fourth set. Through it all, Loewy (nine kills) and Jess Butler (eight kills) led the front line, with Hayward contributing five kills and six blocks. Parker had 21 digs and five aces as Dallalah picked up 12 assists and Winterman finished with seven assists and seven

digs. Naripur also had seven assists. The win streak ended Thursday with J-D falling to Mexico 25-21, 25-15, 25-22. Loewy had eight kills, while Butler got five kills. Narfipur (11 assists) and Dallalah (six assists) worked on the back line. Parker had 12 digs and four aces. East Syracuse-Minoa nearly squandered a big lead to Cato-Meridian, but won last Monday’s non-league match over the Blue Devils in five sets. The Spartans claimed the first two sets 25-16 and 2510, but then eased up as Cato rallied to win the next two sets 25-16 and 25-19. Only in the final set did ESM move ahead for good in a 25-20 decision. Laura Adams had 16 kills, six digs and three aces, with Charlotte Visser (nine kills), Danielle Steigerwald (eight

kills) and Olivia Chopskie (seven kills) offering lots of support. Kristina Spero had 10 digs as Kaitlyn Shaughnessy, working alone on the back line, finished with 34 assists. ESM lost Tuesday to Chittenango, not able to sustain things after winning the first set 25-22 as the Bears took the next three sets 25-18, 2523 and 25-21. Paige Holt had 22 assists and Shaughnessy got 17 assists as Visser had 13 kills, Steigerwald 12 kills and Adams 11 kills. The Spartans also lost Thursday to Homer 25-12, 25-17, 25-15. Shaughnessy had 13 assists, with Chopskie and Adams each getting seven digs and Visser earning six kills. Holt had five assists. Back on Tuesday, Bishop Grimes beat Manlius-Pebble Hill 25-18, 25-15, 25-23 as Abby Rogers earned nine

assists and Taylor Bourdon added six aces and four kills. Grimes then lost to Fabius-Pompey on Thursday as the Trojans took a threegame defeat to Pulaski, and the Cobras also fell to Port Byron on Friday night.

Excitement surrounded the CBA/J-D and Fayetteville-Manlius ice hockey teams in the opening days of the new year. The Brothers, just off a second-place finish at the Churchville-Chili Tournament, returned home to Onondaga Nation Arena last Wednesday night and did just enough to put together a 1-0 victory over the Whitesboro Warriors. Much of the game involved the two sides attacking – and the defenses holding up. Whitesboro goalie Joe Tartaglia finished with 30 saves, while CBA/J-D counterpart Dan DiStefano finished with 24 saves. Only once did the Warriors crack – in the second period, where the Brothers’ Harry Kalet took a pass from Brendan Flanagan and put home the decisive goal. A crucial home game followed on Friday, against Clinton, who sat in second

place behind Cazenovia in Division II following a win over Skaneateles earlier in the week. Here, the Brothers lost to the Warriors 21, despite pulling ahead in the first period. Papayanakos scored off a feed from Kalet, but Clinton countered in the second period as Luke Lauchert fed Pete Hameline and Connor Eisenbeck for goals. DiStefano stopped everything else, making 22 saves, but Clinton clung to its slim edge in the third period as Cory Harris stopped 21 of the 22 shots he faced. F-M sought its first win of the season against Baldwinsville last Tuesday night at Cicero Twin Rinks, only to see the Bees rally and beat them 4-3 in overtime. Even with a 2-1 lead through two periods, the Hornets could not hang on as the Bees pulled even late in regulation, then won it on Parker Ferrigan’s goal just 27 seconds into the extra period. Bob Heintz, Ryan Fero and Matt McDonough got the goals. Gunnar Blanchard,

ESM girls take out Mexico, Fulton By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

At 3-3 going into the new year, the East Syracuse-Minoa girls basketball team rose back to a winning mark in a decisive manner with back-to-back OHSL Freedom division wins. The Spartans first went above .500 during last Tuesday night’s 64-28 romp over Mexico. Suffocating on the defensive side and productive enough on the offensive side, ESM had a 32-12 edge by halftime and did not let up one bit. Olivia Luciani led with 21 points, including four 3-pointers. Brooke Gilkey (11 points) and Gabby Eure (10 points) balanced it out on the inside as Julie Maselli contributed seven points. It proved closer on Thursday night, when

the Spartans went to Fulton, but a steady effort allowed ESM to beat the Red Raiders 59-46. Here, Fulton kept up with the brisk pace for a while, the Spartans only leading 18-15 after one period. ESM tightened on the defensive side, though, and with that the margin grew to 34-23 by halftime, and stayed at double digits most of the rest of the way. Eure had her way in the paint, setting a new career mark with 21 points. Balance came from the perimeter as Luciani earned 11 points, Maselli threw in nine points and Gilkey had seven points. ESM’s boys team made up its snowed-out Dec. 7 opener with Christian Brothers Academy last Tuesday and kept up for a half before falling to the Brothers 77-59. All through the first half, the two sides traded the lead, ending up deadlocked 34-34. But the Spartans’ defense got picked apart in the third quarter as CBA used a 23-12 run to

move ahead for good. Matt Placito still had 18 points as he, Sharif Nero (16 points) and Joe Greco (15 points) accounted for most of the Spartans’ production. By contrast, 11 different CBA players got into the scoring column as Andy Drescher (14 points), Rob Cuomo (13 points) and Greg Thomson (12 points) set the pace. The Spartans had no trouble recovering on Thursday night, taking out Fulton 66-45. ESM outscored the Red Raiders in every single period, steadily working its way to a 35-23 halftime lead and continuing to add to the margin later. Keith Caiello emerged as a new offensive force, finishing with 14 points, just behind Nero, who led with 15 points. Stuper (11 points) also hit double figures as Tyler Johnson got nine points. Improving to 3-4 on the season, ESM hosted Cortland on Tuesday and meets Chit-

ESM’s Gavan nearly perfect By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

A case of near-perfection from Sean Gavan highlighted the East Syracuse-Minoa boys bowling team’s undefeated week. During the Spartans’ 4-0 shutout of Chittenango Thursday at Strike-N-Spare Lanes, Gavan rolled 11 consecutive strikes and needed one more for 300 – but saw a single pin stay up on the last ball. Still, it was a 299, and Gavan finished with a 711 series, just ahead of Joe Erardi, who had a 706 series and 257 high game. Nate Piston, with a 659 series, and John

CNY SPCA

Monaghan, with a 641 set (234 high game), also rolled well. ESM also won 4-0 on the girls side, with Alyssa Boccardo posting a 622 series and Alysha Buck a 542 series. A day earlier, ESM swept Cortland, also in 4-0 matches. Erardi, with a 648 series and 221 high game, led the boys Spartans as Piston got a 573 series and David MacCombie posted a three-game total of 587. Meanwhile, in the ESM girls win, Boccardo posted a 546 series, with a 200 high game. Buck (483), Christina Episcopo (481) and Abby Gendron (480) were close behind. Fayetteville-Manlius had its first match

of 2011 against Oswego last Tuesday night, and emerged with a split. The girls Hornets beat the Buccaneers 2-1, led again by Tricia Miller, who earned a three-game total of 561. The F-M boys lost 3-0 despite Nick Agrippino earning a 667 series, with Chris Prestia (587) and Bobby Schepp (585) not far behind. Oswego’s Gavin Gilbert led his side with a 691 series. But the Hornets swept both of Thursday’s matches with West Genesee by 3-0 margins. Schepp improved to a 607 series in the boys match, with Prestia (578), Agrippino (575) and Rick Meyers (555) adding depth.

tenango Saturday afternoon as part of the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame festivities. ESM’s girls visit Cortland Tuesday for its only game action of the week.

Formal inductions will be held during a dinner event at the Hilton Garden Inn in East Syracuse later that evening. For information, please contact Michael Albanese at malbanese64@ yahoo.com.

Miller’s 545 series and Matika Groesbeck’s 201 game pushed F-M to a girls win. CBA split a pair of 4-0 matches with Chittenango, Connor Harrington standing out as he shot a 684 series with a 254 high game. Dan Fatane added a 610 set. Bishop Grimes lost both sides its match with Solvay 4-0. Then, in Thursday’s head-to-head match, CBA beat Grimes 4-0 on the boys side. Anthony Carno rolled a 250 game for the Brothers on his way to a 680 series as Harrington had a three-game total of 628. Mike Ostaszewski had a three-game total of 510 for the Cobras.

mated $70,000, $30,000 was funded through revenue from dog licensing. But since the state dropped the program, the county doesn’t get the $30,000, and consequently, neither does the CNY SPCA. “That money is gone now,” said SPCA Executive Director Paul Morgan, adding those funds were specifically earmarked for the cruelty investigation department. In come the city and towns. Morgan is asking that officials consider adding a $2 surcharge to their dog license fees. Losing a hefty portion of county funding will affect its cruelty department, Morgan said, which now consists of one full-time employee and two part-timers, including Morgan. “This could definitely affect the staff, thus a reduction of

services,” he said, listing food, medical service and shelter it provides during ongoing cruelty investigations. Additionally, a potential decrease in staff and services could affect how many cases the cruelty team can investigate. According to Morgan, the CNY SPCA gets called by local police departments and 911 to investigate almost all cruelty cases in the county. On a yearly basis, that number yields between 75 and 90. Last year, Morgan said, there were about nine felony arrests and up to 80 misdemeanors. “[The town of] Manlius has been very good, wonderful; [it’s] very supportive of us,” said Morgan, who is scheduled to meet with the Manlius Town Board Jan. 12. Other towns, however, ask how they can justify a surcharge for the CNY SPCA when it has nothing to do with

dog licensing. Morgan has an answer. It’s to support the animal organization’s programs. “It’s going to a good cause, it’s a not-for-profit, and it’s supporting our programs,” Morgan said. “If someone comes in and owns a dog, I don’t think it’s going to be an issue. One hundred percent [will] go back to the SPCA … “And it’s not hitting people who don’t have animals,” he said. According to records from the Onondaga County Health Department, there are approximately 28,500 dog licenses issued in Onondaga County each year. If all municipalities agree to add a $2 surcharge, the CNY SPCA would exceed its $30,000 goal by approximately $17,000. However, if enough townships say no, the CNY SPCA could still fall short of funding.

They thought it would be a learning experience for all involved, she said, and they were right. Carisma enjoyed a free two-week summer vacation in the Manlius suburbs. When she first arrived, Jackie said Carisma was in awe of the abundance of grass and trees in their neighborhood. “We thought it was fantastic that she was able to be exposed to the Central New York environment,” Knych said. “We were glad to be a part of it.” The Fresh Air Fund does not ask volunteers to host their child outside of summer months, however, according to another DeWitt volunteer Marie Canfield, some families form strong bonds and choose to bring

their child back during other parts of the year, which is exactly what the Knychs did. “It was actually the kids that planted the idea of Carisma coming up for Christmas break,” Knych said. “[They] stayed in touch by phone and email [and] my husband and I thought it would be nice for the kids to enjoy break together [and for] Carisma to encounter an upstate NY winter.” When together, summer activities range anywhere from biking, jumping rope, playing tag and roasting marshmallows to Carisma’s all-time favorite: going to the pool, Jackie said. “We also took a two-day trip to Niagara Falls – a first

time experience for my kids and Carisma,” Knych said. “This Christmas break, the kids again had fun playing outside, building snow forts and making snow paths, but everyone’s all-time favorites were sledding and ice skating, she added. In daughter Hannah’s own words, “the FAF is awesome.” When her mother asked why, Hannah responded, “because Carisma gets to come.” “The kids are already talking about [her] coming back to visit [next] summer,” Knych said.

modified counter part. But not everybody is enthusiastic about this new invention. Spearheading the effort against potential FDA approval for new salmon is Vermont-based Ben & Jerry’s CEO Jostein Solheim, who is fearful that the approval of genetically altered salmon will lead to more genetically altered animals in the future. “First comes the fish. Next comes the cow. Next comes the pig. We don’t think America or really any country anywhere is ready to eat from genetically engineered animals,” Solheim said in a September interview. One of the biggest fears of the anti-approval movement is the potential of the new breed escaping into the natural habitat of the regular salmon and interbreeding. But AquaBounty CEO

Ronald Stotish is doing his best to subside some of these concerns by assuring critics there is virtually no risk of integration with the wild salmon population. “The engineered salmon are all female, they are all sterile, and they are raised in physically contained facilities, and they consider the prospect of their fish being able to breed in the wild as negligible,” said Stotish in front of an FDA panel. Another argument that supporters are pushing is that these new products have the potential to solve many world hunger issues. By creating food that grows faster, in larger numbers, and is disease-resistant, many developing countries with starving citizens can end up turning to technology such as this to solve their problems. There are already a handful of governments in

emerging markets that are investing heavily in this technology, including Argentina, China, Romania and Uruguay, and field studies for genetically modified seeds are currently underway in Kenya and Uganda, according to an October report from Reuters. The approval of this new salmon has the potential to be groundbreaking. How it will be integrated into our supermarkets will, however, still rely heavily on public opinion. For most people it is too premature to formulate an educated opinion, simply because new, oftentimes conflicting information is released regularly. Once the FDA hands down its decision, it should become clearer what the real facts are about what may soon become a regular part of our diet.

get any closer, as Michelle Wiese hit both ends of a one-and-one with 39.5 seconds to play, with Ellen Voorheis and Kelsey Johnson also hitting foul shots in the waning seconds. Voorheis finished with 10 points as, for J-D, Caitlin Cariseo got eight points and Kara Capstraw added seven points. Arguably, CBA achieved a bigger win earlier in the week when it went to Cortland and fought hard to earn a 52-48 victory over the defending Class A champion Purple Tigers. What made that win even more impressive was the way the game started. Cortland bolted out to an 18-8 lead, quickly forcing CBA into a more urgent tone. The Brothers responded well, closing within 26-23 by halftime, then continuing its strong play in the third quarter as it seized a 40-36 lead. Then CBA held on through a three-pronged attack that had worked all

night. Romeo led with 18 points, while Voorheis hit a trio of 3-pointers on her way to 17 points and Johnson contributed 13 points. Cortland lost despite Maggie Brown leading both sides with 24 points. J-D also felt good in the wake of Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Fowler, though it took until the fourth quarter for the Red Rams to get away from the Falcons in a 54-38 victory where Cavanaugh was not in the lineup. Fowler, in fact, led 11-7 after one period. J-D moved in front 20-19 by halftime, but still had to fend off the Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moves as it needed a string of late free throws during a closing 18-7 run. Cydney Goodrum, with 13 points (seven of them free throws), led a balanced attack where Caitlin Cariseo poured in 12 points and Ariell Mussi finished with 10 points. Abbey Smith contributed seven points as Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jaquela Lockwood led both sides with 16 points.

night. Staked to a big lead in the second half, the Brothers nearly gave it all away, but did just enough to claim a 47-40 victory over the Red Rams. Held without a point for more than seven minutes in the first half, J-D remained close by playing strong team defense and only trailed by five, 17-12, at halftime, as CBA struggled with its own bouts of inconsistency. Late in the third quarter, though, the Brothers took off on an 11-1 run, led by Marisa Romeo, who would produce a game-high 20 points.

Home & Garden

Preparing for the ‘honey-do’ list W

ith the onset of spring in a few months, the average homeowner’s “honey-do” list likely has its share of outdoor landscaping tasks that need to be tackled. The right tools can make easier work of outdoor chores. A report from the Associated Landscape Contractors of America titled “Economic Benefits of Landscape” states that landscaping can add as much as 14 percent to the resale value of a building and speed its sale by as much as 6 weeks. Homeowners looking to sell their home or just improve its market value will want to consider landscaping a viable investment. A March 2003 article in Smart Money noted that homeowners can expect to earn back 150 percent or more of their landscape investment through the value it brings to a property.

Whatever the landscaping project, the right tools will make any task that much easier. There are certain items every homeowner should have in his or her gardening arsenal. * Soil cultivator: A multi-pronged tool that breaks up clods of soil and grass to provide easier planting. * Various garden hoes: Hoes can be used for breaking up soil, weeding, cultivating, aerating, and many other purposes. * Spading fork: Another tool that loosens soil with straight tines that dig through dense soil. * Shovel: A multipurpose shovel can dig through dirt, gravel and the like. * Rake: A steel-pronged rake will till soil and spread out mulch and other organic matter in planting beds. A flexible rake is good for collecting leaves and thatch. * Edger: Available as manual or gas powered, an edger gives planting beds and the

Seneca Federal is not an average mortgage originator “Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, president-CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.” Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. “We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent. “A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the underwriting process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are very thankful when a customer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and before the loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with experienced loan underwriterswhoassistyouinyourmortgageloan application process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan.

Seneca Federal President–CEO, Katrina Russo left, and Executive Vice President-CFO, Wendy Bodnar The lending team is carrying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is always retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan. One example of a loan that is often tailormade to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made loan includes a mortgage where a customer is purchasing a house in which projected renovations are included. The purchase and renovation costs are wrapped into one mortgage loan. Other features which add to Seneca’s appeal as a mortgage lender include no flood certification fees and no underwriting fees. “This culture of personalized service was instilled into us by our predecessors, so that Seneca Federal’s continued success is guaranteed for decades to come,” she said. “We pride ourselves on providing the best possible products with the lowest possible lending rates. As a community bank, it is our job to increase the wealth of our members through low lending rates and high savings rates, given the state of the economy at any given time,” according to Russo.

edges of lawns a clean look. * String trimmer: Weeds can easily be trimmed with a string trimmer that can work around bushes and other hard-to-reach areas. * Gloves: Avoid blisters and insect bites with durable gloves that protect the hands. * Lawn mower: To maintain a healthy lawn it will have to be trimmed to the correct height. A manual or powered lawn mower is the essential landscaper’s tool. * Collection bags/bins: To properly dispose of organic matter like leaves and branches, it pays to have recyclable or reusable bags on hand for transporting waste. * Hoses: Drip irrigation hoses can deliver water right to plants’ roots where they need it most. A regular nozzle-powered hose can be used for cleaning and misting plants and surrounding hardscapes. * Compost bin: “Black gold” is the ideal landscaping supplement. By creating compost from discarded food, a homeowner can generate the prime fertilizer needed to keep plants healthy. * Wheelbarrow: Transporting gravel, rocks, mulch, shrubbery, and many other garden essentials is made easier with the help of a wheelbarrow or a garden cart. * Branch pruner: A durable branch trimmer/pruner can cut through thick or thin

branches and keep landscape items tidy. Pruning also helps promote growth of many flowers and shrubs. * Overhead pruner: Errant branches in hard-to-reach areas can be trimmed with an overhead pruner with an extendable arm. Depending on specific interests, homeowners can stock up on trowels, bulb planters, chain saws and other items that will get jobs done around the exterior of the home.

Barnes & Noble will host January Educator Appreciation Week from Saturday Jan. 15 through Sunday Jan. 23, during which the bookseller will offer special discounts. Pre-k through 12th-grade educators and administrators will receive a 25 percent discount on books and a 10 percent discount on DVDs and CDs. Educators also may take advantage of huge discounts on items that are marked down for post-holiday clearance. As part of January Educator Appreciation Week, Barnes & Noble stores nationwide will address the social issue of bullying and the importance of building awareness and promoting tolerance. Barnes & Noble has partnered with the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network and Simon & Schuster Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Publishing to support the â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Name-Calling Campaign.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Name-Calling Campaignâ&#x20AC;? addresses the problem of name-calling in schools and helps educators and students eliminate name-calling in their communities. In support of the No Name-Calling Campaign, Barnes & Noble in Dewitt will hold a Storytime event at 11 a.m. Jan. 15, featuring â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chrysanthemumâ&#x20AC;? by Kevin Henkes and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oneâ&#x20AC;? by Kathryn Otoshi. Children who participate will receive a special certificate. Educators

will receive packets with a tip sheet and lesson plans that address bullying in elementary, middle and high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninety percent of all bullying happens at school, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing books and resources to help teachers address this important issue in the classroom,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah DiFrancesco, director of community relations for Barnes & Noble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because our Educator Appreciation Week falls right before the annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No Name-Calling Week,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ideal kick-off for the events weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to celebrate that effort.â&#x20AC;? Booksellers will also be promoting â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Favorite Teacherâ&#x20AC;? contest during Educator Appreciation Week. The contest invites school children to nominate their favorite teacher by writing an essay, poem or letter and submitting it to their local store. One winner will be selected at each Barnes & Noble location and celebrated at a special event in April.
