Marcellus considers pricey composting project to turn wastewater troubles around
Ask any wastewater treatment plant operator, treating sewage is easy. It’s dealing with the final waste product that’s difficult. “When I go visit across the state, the most frequently asked question is ‘How do I deal with sludge?’ said Jim Bower, New York Rural trainer/technician, during a Nov. 4 Marcellus village board workshop meeting at Village Hall. “And they tell me what they’re doing and the majority of them aren’t satisfied.� Village Operator Greg Crysler presented
the village board with a letter indicating his concerns about village sludge, as Seneca Meadows is beginning to push the New York State Department of Environment Conservation’s limit for sludge intake. “I live 30 miles away from Seneca Meadows Landfill and it is now affecting the horizon,� Bower said. Why bother crowded landfills with village sludge if there’s a way to turn it into something useful? The village’s operators have looked to composting village sludge to produce valuable mulch as a short and long-term solution. The proposed project is estimated at $700,000, half of which would be covered by a New York State Department of Environment Conservation grant currently available to treatment plants that are willing to make the switch. The plant would be the first of its kind See Compost, page 19

Marcellus residents take a whack at Borden play By Michael Penny
Jenn DeCook, Bernard Kaplan and C. J. “Chuck� Parsons of Marcellus aren’t sleeping very well these days. “It’s the kind of story that you can’t just forget about when you leave rehearsal,� DeCook said of the new play she is directing about Lizzie Borden, the main suspect in the 1892 hatchet murders of her father and step-mother. “It stays with you all the time.� The play is titled “Lizzie Borden Took an Axe�
and was written by Garrett Heater, grandson of Marcellus residents Jim and Charlotte Cusick. DeCook is a teacher at K.C. Heffernan Elementary School in Marcellus. “It’s really a frightening mystery: all of this evidence pointed to Lizzie but she was acquitted of the crime. Her sister and uncle seem guilty as well,� said DeCook, “but it is an unsolved case.� History may have unjustly condemned Lizzie over the past 118 years. Following her vindication at the trial, Lizzie used her dead father’s

Town of Camillus budget passes, tax rate lowered 5.74 percent By Ned Campbell
The town of Camillus passed its $17.8 million budget for 2011 Tuesday night following its second public hearing, decreasing overall spending by $1.2 million from the 2010 budget. The budget produces a tax levy of $9.23 million, resulting
in a tax rate of 7.080 – down 5.74 percent from last year. Town Supervisor Mary Ann Coogan spoke of ways the town has saved money in recent years during the first hearing Nov. 4 in town hall. “We’ve had a hiring freeze on for the past four years,� she said. “We have consolidated our assessor’s office with the
Barclay adds four local sites to troops item drive By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com For the fourth year, Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C,I – Pulaski) is collecting items to assist the Ladies Auxiliary and Pulaski VFW Post 7289 in sending care packages to active military troops. Donations must be received by Nov. 18 for packages to make it in time for Christmas. “The soldiers are sacrificing a lot for us,� Barclay said. “We figure it’s the least we can do to show them that we care.� Local drop-off sites started as Barclay’s office at 200 North Second St. in Fulton and Camillus Town Hall, located at 4600 West Genesee St. The assemblyman added four town hall drop-off sites to the drive on Friday, placing boxes in the towns of Lysander (8220 Loop Road, Baldwinsville), Elbridge (Route 31W, P.O. Box 568, Jordan), Marcellus (24 E. Main St., Marcellus) and Skaneateles (24 Jordan St., Skaneateles). Barclay hopes this will make it easier for people in those towns to support their troops. Since first getting involved with the drive during the height of the Iraq War in 2007, he’s seen
the number of donations decrease. “It seems like there’s a little less focus on troops on the whole,� Barclay said. The troops are in need of the following items: - Handmade items, cards, cards from children, pictures from children - Halloween candy, candy canes, individual packages of cookies/crackers, tuna and chicken kits, DVDs, CDs, puzzle books, writing paper, phone cards (AT&T works best), disposable cameras, gum - Travel-sized hygiene products such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, baby wipes, shaving items, feminine products, nail polish, nail clippers, candles, lip balm and eye drops - Soups and hot drinks such as tea, cocoa, instant coffee - Power bars, granola bars, dried fruit, slim jims, beef jerky, instant soup, individual cocoa packets, powdered Gatorade, Kool-aid, individual packets of oatmeal cereal Monetary donations for shipping are also welcome.

Opinion Editorial
Make some noise With the appointment of Larry Zacher to interim superintendent and the start-up of a community engagement effort, the Jordan Elbridge School Board looks to be moving in the right direction. That doesn’t mean we should take our eyes off the prize. We are all busy, but Friday’s impromptu board meeting to appoint Zacher saw few people attend. This was the first chance to meet the man who, pending ongoing legal battles, could play a vital role in the recovery of our school district. For those with children in the district, take note that a healthy learning environment at JE could be riding on him. Fortunately there will be many more chances to meet him, if not in the halls of JE, at the next school board meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 17. The board also announced a community engagement effort meant to bring the taxpayers and board together. We understand that’s not as easy as it sounds. We’re not sure when, or if, the board will form a residentfriendly superintendent search committee and/or budget committee, but it seems for now our best shot at being heard could be as members of this newly launched group. At its meeting Wednesday Nov. 3, the board told Anthony Scro, who was fired from the district in September, he would no longer be allowed to speak at open meetings because he wasn’t a resident of the district. We hope this does not discourage others from attending meetings and making their voice heard as taxpayers of Jordan Elbridge Schools. So get out there. Make some noise. Because if you, the taxpayer of this district, won’t, who will?

Simply making contact could make a big difference.
Who would ever want to run for elective oďŹƒce? Is there anyone out there interested in running for the state legislature or Congress in 2012? After all, there are probably many people interested in running for public office. There is the desire to perform public service, with the altruistic goal of bettering one’s community. However, is there anyone out there who wants to be put through the political wringer created by the torrent of mudslinging in the negative political advertising of 2010? In the old days, running for public office often commenced with the annual Labor Day holiday. This meant you would be campaigning for only
eight to nine weeks. However, this is no longer the case. July 1now seems to be a much better kick-off for these races. For starters, one must develop issues, prepare strategies, compose literature and raise funds to pay for campaign expenses. As an extreme, the race for the White House, and Congress, in 2012 started actively on Nov. 3, 2010, one day after the mid-term election. And, as the recent 2010 elections on New York State and federal levels so aptly demonstrated, one has to be aware of the fact opponents will be doing personal research on the opposi-
tion, going back as far as possible. The intent is to find something calling into question the personality, the character, the experience or past mistakes of an opposing candidate. This facet of campaigning was aptly demonstrated during the just-completed 2010 state and federal campaigns, with many candidates joining in what could’ve been described as a race to the bottom. Many individuals have a positive vision of what should be done in campaigning, but not as many have the singular ability to communicate that vision in a positive way, something considered an important ingredient in any campaign.

Through the eyes of the Nightingales (Part III) By Ann Ferro Contributor The guns of war reverberated in Marcellus in the years before Pearl Harbor as the country stretched its resources to help our allies. When war did come, Doug Nightingale tells us, “All the boys served in World War II.� Jack, Bill, Donald and Dick Nightingale and their brothers-inlaw joined the US armed forces with a promise that there would be employment at the mill for all when they returned. All of the “boys� came home to the mill save one. Bill, Harold’s son who joined the army in 1939, was a casualty of the infamous Bataan Death March in the Philippines. Those who returned came back to a changing world and a changed mill. There had been a fire at the mill in 1944. Speculation was that the wooden bearings on which the old water wheel revolved hadn’t been properly cared for and the resulting friction caused the blaze that damaged the back of the mill. With the building repaired, the mill continued its operations, but as farming changed, so did the needs of the farmers. By the late 1960’s and 70’s the farm equipment business was in decline. The demand was now for outdoor power equipment, lawn tractors, chainsaws and such. When Richard and Donald Nightingale took over the management of the company, the family decided to add a retail store to the mill’s other services.
The new shop was a Western Auto hardware store. The mill continued to operate and bulk deliveries of farm seed, fertilizers and dairy and poultry feed were still a focus of the company and, as in the past, the family shuttled among the changing technologies. Kelly Nightingale Sommerlot, a seventh generation Nightingale, remembers, “ ‌the excitement of the gigantic mountain of corn in the parking lot every fall when the corn was drying in the mill.â€? Her father, Mark, adds his memories, “I would come home on weekends from college to work the night shift with the corn dryer (which ran 24 hours a day) so that the other employees could take a break. Walk around the mill today and you will see how it has transformed itself. The old mill building with its overhang constructed from World War II glider frames, has been refurbished for storage. The store is a now a True Value hardware store where amidst its heterogeneous stock you can purchase canning jars, animal feed, paint, barbecue grills, gardening supplies and fishing equipment. The fuel pumps outside are the only left-over from the earlier fuel supply days while the new greenhouses that sit alongside the creek are evidence of the addition of the spring, summer and fall sale of annuals and perennials. The repair shop services small engines, lawn mowers and sells and install tires and outdoor power equipment

Autumn at Driver Middle School would not be complete without Suzanne Alexander and Jeanine Snyder’s fourth grade classroom pie baking experience. This year’s project took place on Oct. 4 in the DMS Home Economics Classroom. This hands-on learning event involved students and parent volunteers in all aspects of the pie making process. The activity contained elements of math, science, social studies, health, and English languages arts curriculum. Below is a story written by one Alexanders and Snyder’s fourth grade student writers:
Unique Opportunity to Join Our Team! An opportunity like this doesn’t come along often -- to be part of the launch of “Syracuse Woman Magazine”, a sister publication to the very successful “Rochester Woman Magazine”.
By Riley LaFrance I leaped out of bed and ran as fast as I could down the stairs to the kitchen to see my dad pouring my cereal. “What’s the big rush?” he asked. “We are making apple pies today at school!” I gobbled down my breakfast and ran to the bus. I hopped on and took a seat. When I arrived at Marcellus Driver Middle School on October 4, I hung up my backpack and sat at my seat and waited for the directions for today’s big event. My friends and I lined up. We walked down the hall and I saw the Home Economics room and I

JE Eagles march to Annapolis and back
President George H.W. Bush dismissed it, rather impatiently, as that “vision thing.” The skill to speak and act in a way that inspires voters is invaluable – and very rare. It is small wonder so many campaigns today resort to “negative campaigning.” Apparently, many campaigners are incapable of presenting with voice and words a creditable picture of a better future for the voters. In the end, “go negative or go home” seemed to be the guiding force in the just-completed campaigns. The litany of TV advertising, sometimes five and six ads in a row, provided new excesses in negative, mudslinging campaigning. By the way, the cost of running as a Congressional candidate is over one million dollars. Campaigns for the state senate can reach nearly as high; for the state assembly over $500,000. Given the mudslinging and the high cost of running, who would ever want to run for elective office?
The Jordan Elbridge Marching Eagles traveled to Annapolis this past weekend to compete in the United States Scholastic Band association national Competition. Under the direction of Tom Gegenheimers, the Eagles earned a score of 91.625 to place 15th in their class of 25 bands. Mary Jo Wick, proud parent of JE seventh grader and second year marcher Marissa, wished to thank the community, friends and families of the JE Marching Eagles for all their support. The Eagles are far younger than most nationally competing, with members ranging from ages 10 to 18. 48 of the 70 marchers are first and second year members, which means an exciting future for this young, talented Eagles squad.

having the ability to come in from the outside with an objective eye. “You haven’t been buried in something so deep that you can’t see the forest for the trees,” Speck said. “There’s going to be a lot of ‘Holy Moly, we can do that? Why haven’t we been doing that?’” More than just an objective eye, Zacher brings important knowledge of the principle position to Jordan Elbridge. The district placed Principle David Zehner on paid administrative leave in September and moved Associate High School Principal Mary Thomas-Madonna to interim principle. “That’s going to be key to this district,” Speck said, adding that Zacher’s strong background in finance also played a role in his appointment. Bill Hamilton, assistant superintendent of business and finance, was put on paid leave in July and District Treasurer Anthony Scro was fired in September. Speck feels that Zacher’s personality is a good fit for the community – “he’s open, and he’s transparent.” Zacher has dealt with his share of key personnel issues

“I went into a district that didn’t have a teacher contract for two and a half year years and settled that,” Zacher said. “I’ve had to fire people in districts that I’ve been in for what I would call immoral behavior. I’ve had lots of experience with personnel issues.” His first plan of action is to look at what’s in front of him, and see what can be fixed right away. “Is there any of this that can be resolved relatively quickly?” he said. “Can we get one thing off the plate?” He’s not sure where he’ll begin; finding out is part of the process. “I don’t know how strong these cases are or how critical they are,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s a matter of personalities versus performance, I don’t know any of that. “I’d like to believe that the district’s position is a solid one that is based upon warranted action … But do I know that? I don’t know that.” Speck believes that when you bring in an interim, it’s about more than just getting through time. “A good interim can actually move the district forward,” Speck said. “He’s got the ability to do it.”

New committee launched The school board also announced a community engagement effort modeled after one of its neighboring districts. “This community group will consist of business owners, educators and community members who meet on a quarterly basis,” reads a letter from the school board to employees and community members. “The purpose of this effort is to bring together multiple points of view, make sure the district understands the needs of the community, and to keep information flowing.” The board hopes the new group will foster community involvement in school initiatives. “We see this as a first step toward beginning the healing process.” The community has asked in board meetings for both a budget and superintendent search committee open to residents, but Alley said this committee will be separate from those, and focus mainly on student activities. “This is something that I would like to see continue on, past the superintendent search, past budget season,” Alley said. “This will be something that will be a permanent part of our community for years to come.”

All of the area’s cross country teams went in pursuit of Section III championships Saturday at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School - and two of them would emerge victorious. Marcellus, no. 4 in the latest state Class B rankings, easily won the sectional crown thanks to the 1-2 finish posted by Jesse Garn and Ryan Manahan, while Westhill sneaked in to claim the Class A championship in a nailbiter with Jamesville-DeWitt. Not only that, but West Genesee (in Class AA) and Jordan-Elbridge (in Class C) both had second-place finishes in their respective sectional gatherings. The Mustangs dominated 13 opponents in
Class B, earning 35 points, well clear of runner-up Hannibal (91 points). At the front of the field, Garn, in a time of 16 minutes, 44.6 seconds, held off Manahan (16:46.5) by 1.9 seconds for individual honors. John Bell worked his way to seventh place, in 17:29.9, while Joe Fallon took eighth place in 17:32 flat. Mike Epp clinched the title when he crossed the line in 17th place with a clocking of 18:15.4. Solvay, in fourth place (150 points), saw Cody McCarthy earn 10th place in 17:35.4, just 0.3 seconds behind South Jefferson’s Nicholas Tyler for the fifth and final individual qualifying spot for next Saturday’s state championships at Lakeside Park in Pawling. Matt Cregan was 21st, in 18:37.7, while Nate Carr was 30th.
Swimmers from West Genesee and Westhill/Corcoran would find a fair amount of success during last week’s Section III championships at Nottingham High School. For the Wildcats, Kim Pedrotti stood out, qualifying for two different events at the Nov. 19-20 state championships at Buffalo’s Erie Community College and making some history along the way. In the 500-yard freestyle during Saturday’s
overall sectional final, Pedrotti’s time of 5:21.14 set a new WG school record as she took second behind CBA’s Ruthie Speidel. Pedrotti also finished fourth in the 100 breaststroke in a state-qualifying time of 1:08.84. For the Warriors, Lauren Perry won the 50 freestyle, finishing in 24.42 seconds, 0.25 seconds ahead of another CBA swimmer, Maggie Fletcher. Perry also came close to winning the 100 freestyle, her time of 52.79 seconds just behind Liverpool’s Becky EvanSee Sectional swim, next page

Sports Westhill JV soccer closes out incredible season
Submitted by Mike Paraszczak On Friday Oct. 22 the Westhill Warriors JV soccer team upended the Marcellus Mustangs 4-2 at the Onondaga Hill Middle School soccer field. Both teams came out strong in the 40-degree overcast afternoon with the Mustangs scoring the first goal. The Warriors answered back with a quick succession of 3 goals to end the half at 3-1. The second half was dominated by the Warriors and both teams

And in the diving competition, Westhill/Corcoran’s Imani Williams took the top spot, using a new dive to work her way to 448.70 points, beating Sylvia Ross (422.90 points) and the rest of the field. WG finished fifth in the 200 medley relay as Pedrotti, Olivia Castro, Brianna Smith and Emily Kanoza got a time of 1:57.59, just ahead of the Warriors as Lauren Perry, Rachel Perry, Williams and Maura Fleming took sixth in 1:58.17. Rachel Perry, on her own, got fourth in the 200 individual medley in 2:20.22. Two days earlier, in the Class A portion of the sectional meet, WG finished fourth with 232 points and Westhill/Corcoran

Matt Battaglia (41st) and Pete Ciafratta (48th) also cracked the top 10. Westhill moved up to Class A because it was a combined squad with Bishop Ludden. The Warriors picked up 54 points, holding off J-D (56 points) to win the team crown as Whitesboro (75 points) finished third. Jonathan Moore finished seventh, in 18:19.4, while Casey Bunce finished eighth (18:29.3) and Peter Lynch took ninth place in 18:30.8, all ahead of the second J-D runner, Dan Driscoll. Then, amid a pack of the Rams’ other competitors, Will Downs finished 14th (18:35.0) and Mitchell Lamb

scored an additional goal. The game ended with the Warriors ending their season in victory. The team had an incredible season. Their only loss came in their first game, oddly enough against the Marcellus Mustangs. The game ended with a controversial winning goal by the Mustangs in sudden death overtime that left the score at 3-2. The Warriors ended their season with a record of 14-1. Nine of the games ended in a shutout. The Warriors scored an incredible 74 goals against the other teams while giving up only 9.
(154 points) earned the seventh spot. Lauren Perry’s of 24.67 seconds in the 50 freestyle was enough to hold off Auburn’s Maryjane Leja (24.93 seconds) and the rest of the field. In the 100 freestyle, Perry was second, in 53.40 seconds, again behind Evangelista. Williams first won last Wednesday’s sectional Class A diving competiton. Her total of 407.25 points was enough to hold off Amy Bright (Fayetteville-Manlius), who was second with 395.30 points. Stacie DeCarr (Cicero-North Syracuse) was third with 379.10 points. Rachel Perry worked her way to third place in the 100 backstroke (1:00.97) and fourth place in the 200 individual medley (2:20.40). Rachel Perry joined Lauren Perry, Williams and Fleming to claim fifth in the 200 medley relay (1:59.69), while
Ashley Rocker helped Fleming and the Perrys get sixth in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:54.69. WG saw Pedrotti take second place in the 500 freestyle in 5:25.84, behind Speidel (5:08.89), and add a fourth-place time of 1:11.11 in the 100 breaststroke. Ashley Miedaner was sixth (294.80 points) and Ali Miedaner eighth (273.65 points) in diving. Castro took eighth in the 50 freestyle in 26.04 seconds and Breanna Smith worked her way to eighth place in the 100 backstroke in 1:06.65. From the relay standpoint, Pedrotti, Castro, Smith and Kanoza claimed fourth in the 200 medley (1:58.20), with the Wildcats also sixth in the 200 freestyle (1:47.70) and seventh in the 400 freestyle relay in 3:55.88.

Up in Class AA, West Genesee had a strong showing, getting 68 points to beat everyone except defending state champion Fayetteville-Manilus, who took the top spot with 31 points Billy Gabriel, with a sixth-place time of 16:32.8, and John DeLallo, who finished eighth in 16:53.8, both earned trips to the state meet. Martin Leff also ran well, claiming 11th place in 16:56.4, while Matt Byrnes landed in 16th place in 17:15.4 and Matt Gonnella (17:59.8) earned 30th place. Running in Class C, Jordan-Elbridge held off Sauquoit Valley, 93 points to 108,
to finish second behind another reigning state champion, Holland Patent, who blew past the field with 33 points. Greg Bader led the Eagles as he claimed fifth place in a clocking of 17:26.3, good for a berth in the state meet. Steve Slonosky just missed that cut, but still took ninth place in 17:50.2, while Jack Gugel got 19th place in 18:31.8. Further back, Alex Suslik took 34th place in 19:04.1 and Scott Sullivan was 39th in 19:25.6. All of these top runners, plus the teams from Marcellus and Westhill, are going to Lakeside Park in Pawling for Saturday’s state meet, which starts at 8:45 a.m.

ways; he possessed an inability to change, and I believe he also had trouble with emotional intimacy.” Andrew’s relationship with Lizzie has been described as mutually close, though the brutal violence used to dispatch Andrew, had Lizzie done it, points to a troubling undercurrent of deep-seated hatred. C.J. Parsons, who works in Inventory Control at the RiteAid Distribution Center in Liverpool, plays Lizzie’s maternal uncle John V. Morse in the play. “He’s a horse trader, a some-time lawyer, an East Coast cowboy of sorts,” Parsons explained, “and if you had to ask
me if I think he’s the one who swung the axe, I would have to tell you I’m not quite sure!” Much mystery surrounds Uncle John and his involvement in the double-murder. “He showed up unannounced the day before the murders, yet has an air-tight alibi the day they occurred,” Parsons said. “He was not present in the house when the murders took place, but came slinking into the backyard once they were done. He’s a man of the shadows – very odd.” The world premier of “Lizzie Borden Took an Axe” will take place at 8 p.m. Nov. 12, 13, 19 and 20 at the Bevard Room in Syracuse’s John H. Mulroy Civic Center.

Marcellus tops Westhill for Class B soccer title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Kathryn Busa was a sophomore two seasons ago when the Marcellus girls soccer team shared the Section III Class B championship with rival Westhill, only to get denied entry into the state tournament via a penalty kick shoot-out. “I remember crying for days after that,” Busa said. Well, those tears turned into cheers - and lots of smiles - for Busa and her fellow Mustangs Friday night at SUNY-Cortland as it beat those same Westhill Warriors 3-1 to earn its first outright sectional championship since 2007. And it was Busa, along with freshman teammate Brielle Filtch, who played a key role after they combined on both of the Mustangs’ goals in the second half that accounted for the final margin. The task facing head coach Laurie Updike and her Marcellus players was a tall one - beat a second straight opponent for a third time this season, just as it had done getting past Skaneateles 3-0 in the semifinals. Westhill, after two defeats to the Mustangs, was bent on breaking the Mustangs’ hearts again. Aggressive from the start, Marcellus quickly grabbed a 1-0 lead. Just 6:38 into the game, Nicole Dorio’s corner kick lofted to the middle - and Jessie Nye perfectly timed her leap, heading the ball past Sam Peebles into the top right corner of the net. From there, though, the Mustangs gradually saw Westhill pick up its attack. And it had a series of good runs late in the half, making Marcellus sufficiently worried, even though it still had that 1-0 lead at the break. “We knew we had to come out and get a goal,” Busa said. “We knew one goal was not going to be enough.” As if on cue, just 57 seconds into the second half Busa, from the right side, fed a ball to the middle, where Filtch sneaked in her foot and banged it past Peebles, extending the Mustangs’ lead to 2-0. But just when it looked like the Mustangs were about to put it away, Westhill’s Brenna Rainone made a long run up the right side in the 60th minute and took a shot. Marcellus goalie Sophie Jackson could not handle it, and Nicole Veit poked in the rebound, cutting the margin back to one. At this point, Updike said, the team kept its poise, mainly because its senior trio of defenders - Jessie Manahan, Annie Dailey and Emily Pawliewicz - kept calm and broke up possible attacks, giving Marcellus time to regroup. “They (the defenders) really took control,” Updike said. Soon enough, the Mustangs were making runs at the net. And with 13:30 to play, Filtch, from the right side, crossed to the net, where Peebles had difficulty hanging on to the ball - giving Busa a chance to bang home the clinching goal. Marcellus now advanced to Tuesday night’s opening round of the Class B regional playoffs against Section II champion Chatham at West Genesee High School. Game time is 7:30. The Mustangs need to win two regional games next week in order to advance to the state final four on Nov. 19-20 in the Cortland/ Homer area. In last Tuesday’s Class B semifinal, also played at West Genesee, the no. 2 seed Mustangs used a pair of goals late in regulation to pull away and beat no. 11 seed Skaneateles 3-0, the third time it had beaten the Lakers this season. For much of the game, Marcellus could not fully unwind its vaunted possession game, getting only occasional shots from its usually busy attackers. One big exception came in the 22nd minute, when Busa broke free on the right side and took a direct shot that slipped out of the hands of Skaneateles goalie Mary Buck and slid across the goal line, the only tally of the first half. Deep into the second half, it remained 1-0, the Lakers playing on even terms but finding that the Mustangs’ defense was difficult to unlock. See Soccer, page 19

How to keep critters out of the home
Attic exhaust fan Many attics are equipped with an exhaust fan to vent hot air from under the roof. Animals can scurry through the opening of the exhaust pipe and into the attic itself. Attics are very attractive to animals because they tend to be warm and infrequently visited -- a perfect place for a nest. Again, use a wire mesh hardware cloth securely
Drainage pipes Homeowners with a sump pump or other drainage system may have pipes extending from a basement to the outdoors. Burrowing animals may
Window wells Basement window wells offer areas where animals can spend time unnoticed gnawing away at loose trim or caulking to sneak past. A plastic covering or commercial grate can usually do the trick of securing the window well area. Fences and decking Animals can dig under fences and take up roost in the yard, or they may

Chimney A professionally installed chimney cap or a mesh hardware cloth can keep animals out of the chimney -- a common entry place. Animals can transmit diseases through their droppings and block the release of smoke in a chimney, which are two potential hazards. A securely fitting cap or mesh covering can keep animals outdoors. Do not use window-screening material as it will clog with soot and other debris causing a fire hazard.

ildlife, such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, bats, and birds may see your home as a quiet, safe and dry retreat anytime during the year. However, when the cooler weather arrives, and animals are looking for burrows and nests to weather out the chill, your home may be especially attractive. An autumn project to undertake should involve keeping unwanted wildlife out of the house. A home presents a number of entry points for animals. Having an animal nest or live in your home can be unsanitary and potentially dangerous -- especially if you startle an animal or if they block the release of smoke or exhaust from the house. Examining potential entrances and closing them up is key to keeping animals out.

Camping World’s RV sales event set for Nov. 10-14 To be held at off-site location at New York State Fairgrounds Camping World RV Sales begins their big RV sales event today through Sunday Nov. 14 at their off-site location at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse. “We’ve got something for everyone,” said Ed Forget, general sales manager. “Coleman Travel Trailers start at $98 a month, for example. We have travel trailers to high end diesel motor homes. We’ll take almost anything on trade – now is -Kevin Bostrom, Camping definitely the time World regional vice president to buy, and interest rates are low.” The four-day event will draw buyers from all over the state. Sale hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
“We have 218 tradeins from our recent show in Hershey, PA.”
“You’ll find what you’re looking for at this event,” said Kevin Bostrom, regional vice president. “We’ll have 218 Hershey, PA, show trade-ins. This is an excellent time to start enjoying the RV experience.” “Camping is great family fun – and the memories will last a lifetime. Kids will remember the great times they had camping with family and friends. Our customers are always sharing stories about this trip or that trip.

Regional Vice President Kevin Bostrom, left, and General Manager Ed Forget invite you to their big RV sales event now through Sunday at the NYS Fairgrounds.
Timber Banks – Upstate New York’s premier golf experience Constructed to Nicklaus Designs highest standards, Timber Banks’ four sets of tees offer players of every level a challenging and enjoyable round of golf. Come and enjoy a world class experience on this magnificently scenic and beautifully appointed layout. Playing through and across woodlands, meadows and wetlands, Timber Banks is a natural and tranquil setting; winding through ancient forests and emerging neighborhoods, you’ll see golf in a very new way. The Front Nine at Timber Banks This straight forward opening hole measures 390 yards from the BEAR Tees, watch out for the tree guarding the right side of the fairway off the tee. A short iron approach to a unprotected green, at least by Nicklaus Design standards, leaves you a chance to get your round off on the right foot. A well placed drive between the bunkers gives you the best opportunity to go for the green in 2. The green is well protected and one of the most severely sloped on the course. Hole number 2 is a true risk reward hole- reachable but dangerous. This dog-leg right par 4 is one of the shortest par 4’s we have and also one of the tightest. A tee shot placed left center of the fairway past the corner gives you a great look at this ‘mild’ green by Nicklaus’ standards. This is the longest of the par 3’s measuring 226 yards from the Bear Tees, it requires a long iron or hybrid, between the water on the left and the bunkers on the right. The green is one of the deepest on the course- knowing the pin location is essential for selecting the proper club. The number one handicap hole requires a well placed big tee shot right- center of the fairway that gives you the best angle for your long iron approach. Avoid the greenside bunkers or a bogey or worse is likely. A slight dog-leg left, your tee shot must stay left of the tree that protects the right side of the fairway. The lone bunker steals the headlines. A mid to short iron approach must carry to the correct portion of the green, otherwise break out your short game and try to get up and down from one of the many collection areas that surround one of the largest putting surfaces on the course.
A par 5, 3-shot hole all the way. Measuring 584 yards from the bear tees, it plays longer than the yardage indicates. The second shot is key to leave yourself a short iron or wedge to this elevated green which is protected by the water hazard front and right. This par 3 provides a challenge with club selection because it has one of the shallowest greens on the course. Once you have the right club, avoid the large bunker on the right and the collection area on the left. Take your 2- putt par and move on. This hole hosts the most challenging tee shot we have. A long drive placed to the right of the massive fairway bunker will leave a long iron or hybrid to a green that is another Nicklaus Design staple, sloped from back left to front right. And don’t forget about the well placed green- side bunker, it will catch an errant approach shot. The Back Nine at Timber Banks A solid tee shot slightly left of center will leave a short iron approach on this shorter par 4. Accurate club selection is critical to find the relatively shallow putting surface. The fairway bunker on the left is 259 yards from the BEAR tees. CAUTION! Lateral water hazard right of fairway bunker and behind green! Avoid the bunkers on this beautiful three shot par 5 for a chance at par or better. The fortress green demands precision, so be resolved and commit to the shot! The bunkers on the left are 260 yards from the BEAR tees. A tee shot of 228 yards from the BEAR tee will safely carry the water hazard on this medium length par 4. The green falls away behind and to the right and demands a confident approach. The bunker on the right is 298 yards from the BEAR tees. The first of the back nine’s par 3s, this well guarded green requires proper club selection for a chance at par. Beware when the flagstick is above the bunker! Timber Banks’ second par 5 requires brains, brawn, and a deft touch. The fairway is wider than it appears from the tee. Avoid the bunker on the right and you will marvel at the challenges that remain. Place your second shot where you can use your “old reliable” for your third. You will need all its magic to safely find the elevated green. The bunker on the right is 296 yards from the BEAR tees.
Timber Banks’ November special – weekdays $25; weekends $30. For tee times, memberships and tournaments call 635-8800. One of Mr. Nicklaus’s most masterful short par 4’s, do not be deceived by #15’s beauty. The bunkers on the right grab the headlines; lateral water hazards on the left and right do the damage. The sliver of a green completes the package. The bunkers on the right are 360 yards from the BEAR tees. The Seneca River and an early peek at Timber Banks’ coming attractions add majesty to an already beautiful par 3. The green is the largest on this nine, but…the greenside bunker is as well. Choose wisely. The prudent play may be a lay-up short of the cross bunkers leaving a comfortable mid-iron approach on this medium length, slight dogleg right par 4. When the wind is right a long drive will leave only a short pitch. The green is narrow with no bunkers and water to its left. The first bunker on the right is 222 yards from the BEAR tees and will be carried with a drive of 252 yards. The last bunker on the left is 254 yards from the BEAR tees. th Long but downhill, the 18 is a classic, daunting Nicklaus Design par 4 finishing hole. A narrow lateral hazard runs the length of the left side emptying into a guardian pond. The bunker on the right is 270 yards from the BEAR tees. Timber Banks’ November special – weekdays $25; weekends $30. For tee times, memberships and tournaments call 635-8800.

Curry, Black go 1-2 at sectional girls cross country meet Three Mustangs qualify for state meet By Phil Blackwell When Westhill and Bishop Ludden paired up this year for cross country, it nearly led to a sweep of both Section III Class A championships. And though the girls Warriors lost a narrow decision to Jamesville-DeWitt, 46 points to the Red Rams’ 43, Saturday at Vernon-VeronaSherrill High School, it still had the top two individuals in the field in Jessica Curry and Betsey Black. Curry needed 19 minutes, 58 seconds to navigate her way through the VVS course that will host the state meet in 2011. Black could not keep up, but still held off J-D’s Ameena Dye to grab second place in a time of 20:49.5. In the Class B championships, Marcellus put up a strong effort and finished second, with 89 points, behind Cazenova, who won its first-ever sectional title with 51 points. However, three different Mustangs qualified for the state meet by virtue of their individual efforts. Rachel Garn finished in a time of 20:38.6, putting her in second behind Homer’s Bori Tozser (19:44.8), while Maggie Dunn earned seventh place in 21:20.9 and Molly McGuane grabbed eighth place in 21:23.4.

SPORTS SHORTS Westhill boys taken out by Skaneateles
Flush with confidence, and convinced that it could get things right the third time around, the Westhill boys soccer team made the short trip to Marcellus to confront undefeated, state no. 1-ranked Sknaeateles in last Tuesday’s Section III Class B semifinal. But nothing changed here, as the Lakers fought past the Warriors 3-0, denying them a shot at its first sectional title since 2004. In defeat, Pat Scutari proved quite active, earning 15 saves as Westhill’s season concluded with a record of 13-4-1.
Ludden denied C-1 title by Sauquoit Valley
The Bishop Ludden girls soccer went to Chittenango High School last Wednesday night hoping to clinch the Section III Class C-1 title. The Gaelic Knights could not recover from a rough start against Sauquoit Valley, leading to a 2-0 defeat to the Indians. Sauquoit would beat Waterville 3-0 in

efits, and reducing the brush pickup schedule to every other week. “We have saved $65,000 a year by changing our heating and lighting fixtures, and $90,000 to $100,000 a year by going to a BOCES program,� Coogan added. Coogan thanked all department heads as well as town comptroller Catherine Albunio,
the overall Class C final on Saturday at SUNY-Cortland, earning a chance to return to the state final four. Ludden, meanwhile, would see three seniors – Grace Rooney, Meaghan McGrath and Mary Ritchie – depart. But everyone else, including Mersadiz Hayes, Shelby Hunter, Kelly Granteed, Nicole Granteed, Emily Wheeler, Alex Szelewski, Liz Tully and Korey Kibling, could return for 2011.
WG volleyball fals to B’ville in semifinals
West Genesee could not upset the Bees in last Tuesday night’s Section III Class AA semifinal at the Baker High School gym, losing all three games by margins of 25-5, 25-8 and 25-17. It was the 17th straight time this season that B’ville had swept an opponent, including a victory over the Wildcats back on Sept. 21. WG finished with a record of 12-6 as B’ville will face Liverpool for the sectional title on Wednesday night. For extended coverage of local sports, go to eagle-observer.com. new to the position this year, for their hard work in preparing the budget. “We will continue in 2011 to find ways to save money and bring in revenue where possible,� Coogan said. The towns of Marcellus and Elbridge passed their budgets as well last week, also producing a decrease in the tax rate from last year. For additional budget coverage, go to eagle-observer. com.

Compost

in Onondaga County, though similar plants exist across the state, including Madison County. Crysler and fellow plant operator Ryan Riefler completed a feasibility study that showed the projected cost of hauling sludge to Seneca Meadows to be $33,350 assuming no increase in cost – if that’s even an option. Composting was projected at $5,600 a year, making for a savings of $27,750 annually. Taking into account the $350,000 to build the facility, it would take the village an estimated 12.5 years to break even on the project. Crysler and Riefler also ran a pilot test last month that confirmed that Marcellus sludge could be turned into Class A compost. Village Consultant Brian Romeiser designed his own composting system for the MachesterShortville Joint Sewer District 25 years ago and has since consulted in the design of 13 facilities. He said composting has proved much harder for other areas where heavy metals populate the wastewater. “Because this is in a pretty much entirely residential district here, the resultant biosolids from the treatment plant are of such a good quality that composting is relatively easy,” Romeiser said. The pilot test proved to Crysler and Reifler what Romeiser already knew, he said, adding that the operators also come away with “a better understanding of what’s actually going on before they spend any money.” One resident, concerned with the high cost of the project, suggested the village look into consolidating with other towns that might face a similar problem. Mayor John Curtin pointed out that most nearby municipalities have their water treated at Metro Water in Syracuse, with the exception of Tully, which has its own system in place that works well for them. Crysler explained that Tully is permitted
to dispose of its sludge through land application. “They’re not going to compost because land applying is the cheapest way to go,” he said. Even if Marcellus found a municipality interested in going in on a composting project with them, chances are there’d be no benefit to consolidating, Romeiser said. “It’s not like a newspaper where you can double the circulation; it doesn’t work that way,” he said. “The square footage directly relates to how many pounds of sludge you’re treating.” In other words, building and operating a compost facility for Marcellus and a village with the same amount of wastewater would cost twice as much. Producing quality compost would also become far more difficult once another municipality’s wastewater was brought into the mix, Romeiser said. Low on options Crysler and Riefler find themselves at a crossroads. This is not the first time they’ve had to adjust their operations based on who will take village sludge. “The frequency of this change is becoming alarming to us as the operators that run the plant,” Crysler said. Romeiser confirmed that the village is running out of options. He said Seneca Meadows is now taking sludge from Canada, capturing methane gas from it and producing electricity. “They’re taking it in such mass that these little treatment plants in New York State, they don’t want to be bothered with you,” he said. “They are going to start limiting you on what times you can bring the sludge, because they just flat out don’t want you there. “Even their own local people … as in Waterloo and Seneca Falls, are having really tight limits imposed on them.”
Give and get back Crysler said the plant would likely give the compost away to residents in return for the taxes they pay. But in Romeiser’s experience, most people see the mulch as a gift. “They strongly believe they’re getting something for nothing,” he said. “Because they’ve already paid the price at Home Depot.” Romeiser said with every composting project he’s been involved with, it’s only been a matter of time before people started lining up for their share of the compost. “Once the residents get to using it, it’s word of mouth and it goes very, very rapidly,” he said. Crysler mentioned visiting Waterville’s plant where he saw a man begging for woodchips, which are used and re-used in the composting process, because there was no compost left. Romeiser said golf courses vie for the compost, and expects schools to as well, with herbicide and pesticide bans going into effect statewide. “Organic compost naturally out-competes the weeds and the pests,” Romeiser said. “If your school system actually finds out about this and starts playing with this, you may not have a lot left for your residents.” According to plant operators, the school, being literally right up the road from the treatment plant, has already found out. Not having enough compost to go around is a problem the village can live with. “It’s a plant operator’s dream,” Romeiser said. Village trustees indicated their interest in moving forward with the project and will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Nov. 23 upstairs in the Marcellus Free Library. Romeiser expects the village to have no trouble obtaining both the DEC permit and grant.

Soccer From page 9 Finally, Jessie Nye created some breathing space when, with 12:49 left, she converted her second goal of the night, a straight shot that eluded Buck. Just four minutes later, Jackie Epp, from nearly the same spot on the field, put in the night’s final goal. Over at Chittenango’s turf, the no. 9 seed Warriors fought past no. 13 seed Mount Markham 1-0 in the other Class B semifinal. Westhill, who had rallied in the final minutes to stun top seed Watertown IHC 2-1 in the Class B quarterfinals on Oct. 28, had just as difficult a time getting rid of Mount Markham. They played through the first half 0-0. Unlike the IHC game, the Warriors had most of the scoring chances, but kept putting shots into the hands of Mount Markham goalie Tori Roberts, who would finish with 14 saves. Westhill maintained the pressure, and its patience - and it paid off in the second half. Off a feed from Bethany Hemmes, Kelly Ristoff, who hit the decisive goal against IHC, beat Roberts to get the game-winner once more.
