Bishop’s Academy at St. Charles Borromeo in the town of Geddes will close at the end of the school year, Bishop Robert J. Cunningham announced last Monday night to faculty, staff and parents. The school is one of three other academies the Syracuse Catholic Diocese is dissolving, including the Cathedral at Pompei, Holy Family and Most Holy Rosary. The latter two will transition to parish schools. According to diocesan officials, each school community was asked to prepare a viability study to find out if it were feasible to continue school operations at the parish level. The plans were submitted and reviewed, and it was determined St. Charles would cease operations in 2011. “These are difficult days to operate a school whether it is private or public,’ said Superintendent Christopher Mominey. “Unfortunately, financial support has decreased and enrollment trends have declined which have had a direct impact on operating costs.” Mominey said the diocese will assist families with a smooth conversion; it is offering a $650 transition scholarship to students who enroll in another Catholic elementary school. St. Charles School has served its community for more than 60 years.

the next morning after battling cancer. Sup e r i nte nd e nt C h r is Brown said students and staff first heard the news at 6 a.m. on Wednesday Jan. 12. “Our school really is a family, and when we lose somebody, it is really like we’re losing one of our own kids,” Brown said, adding that for a lot of the students, it’s their first look at “not being invincible.” The school community took Wednesday to grieve, and by Thursday had begun to think of ways to help memorialize Craig and reach out to his family. Craig left behind his parents, Mark and Ellen; two sisters, Sarah and Karen; his brother, Eric; and several aunts,
uncles and cousins. “It’s a very personal time where you realize how close of a family you are, even though you’re in a building that has 1,700 students,” Brown said. Austin Gambino, Peter Johnson and Lindsey Sweet, friends and classmates of Craig, led a blue ribbon campaign during the school day Tuesday Jan. 11, and organized a 50/50 raffle that raised well over $1,000 during the first half of the game against Corcoran. “I really think that all in attendance felt they would have an opportunity to give him what they raised, and they didn’t have a chance to do that,” Brown said.

West Genesee considers salary freeze School district could be faced with $4.5 million budget gap By Ned Campbell After hearing of Governor Mario Cuomo’s proposed tax cap, West Genesee Superintendent Chris Brown started to look harder at ways to save the district money. Cuomo proposed capping property tax at 2 percent or the inflation rate, whichever is lower, and Brown estimates that inflation will be at around 1 percent by February. A 1 percent tax cap would amount to a $4.5 See Salary freeze, next page

million dollar gap in the district’s budget. The superintendent asked union officials to consider freezing the salaries of all district employees, including his own. Brown said the freeze would save the district, which staffs about 800 employees, an estimated $900,000, leaving a remaining gap of $3.5 million. “[The salary freeze is] an option we’re exploring, but it’s one of many options that we’re going to explore to close a gap like that,” Brown said.

In his 11 years as a superintendent, this is the most difficult budget year Brown has ever seen. He said the next closest was in 2002, when state aid to schools in New York State was frozen. “But that recovered really quickly; this one’s not going to recover as quickly,” Brown said. He sees New York State’s current fiscal crisis as more of a global problem than a state problem. “The market and things we need to generate income aren’t turning around as fast as they did before,” Brown said.

Local, state officials call for state mandate relief In the coming weeks, the governor plans to enter into legislation a cap that would apply to all local governments, as well as school districts. Designed to protect property owners from skyrocketing property taxes, the cap prevents an increase in any local tax levy (amount raised through property taxes) above 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. However, with a 60 percent majority, residents have the ability to override the cap during budget elections. While this is good news to property owners, local government officials find the solution shortsighted. “A small village like Marcellus, already reeling from a loss of over $150,000 in sales tax revenue, would be forced to make severe cuts in its budget, restricting essential services or laying off employees,” Curtin said.

This vortex, seen during its installation next to Reed Street in October, removes phosphate from storm water that flows into Nine Mile Creek as required by the NYS DEC. Curtin stressed the pressures of unfunded state mandates. The village recently installed an expensive vortex filtration system to ensure that storm water flowing across Reed Street was treated before
Town of Marcellus shortens firehouse bond
By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com The Marcellus Town Board approved a bond resolution for the Marcellus Firehouse at its Jan. 10 meeting. The resolution shortens the remaining time on the bond from seven years to five — which amounts to a savings of $30,000 for the town over the five years. Supervisor Dan Ross said the proceeds from the bond will be used to purchase the fire station from the village, and the transaction should be finalized by April 1. A five-year bond is not subject to referendum and does not require a public hearing, Ross said. “The whole legal structure has changed from a village fire company that contracted with the town to a fire protection district that the town manages,” Ross added. The Marcellus Fire Department separated itself from the village to seek town governance in 2005. Mayor John Curtin said the mayor at the time, Fred Eisenberg, stated that if the town was going to take over the fire department, then the building should go with it. “In other words, the town would assume full legal and financial responsibility for it,” Curtin said. “That required special state legislation, because techni-
cally, a town cannot own a fire house.” Legislation was acquired in 2009. The town has been paying for the building since the change in governance in 2005, but the title remained with the village. “The village received reimbursement from the town each year for the cost of the building,” Curtin said. Town switches healthcare plans The board approved to switch to a new Excellus healthcare plan for current town employees. Ross said the plan will save the town an estimated $29,000 annually. “We’re always looking for ways to do things less expensively without having a tremendous impact on the benefits we offer to employees,” Ross said. The plan includes a new inpatient hospital deductible and allows employees to receive cash rewards for certain healthy practices. The board enlisted Chris Arnold, a broker with Reagan Insurance Agency of Marcellus, to find the most cost-effective healthcare plan. “He’s paid out of the premium that we would have paid anyway,” Ross said. “That gave us the opportunity to get somebody that has a lot of expertise in that area to tell us what products are out there.”
Replacement fee added The town approved a dog replacement tag fee, which allows the town to charge dog owners $2 to replace lost dog tags.
entering Nine Mile Creek. Curtin said the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation only ordered the village to install the unit after extra publicity was given to the reconstruction of Reed Street, when residents demanded the protection of a Champion Black Maple Tree. Curtin said the bill for that projected totaled more than $31,000. “It’s a nice sound bit that comes from politicians, but if there is a property tax cap it must include mandate relief for local governments,” Curtin said. “You just can’t impose these mandates on local governments and expect them to pay for it with nothing.” The village passed a resolution last month that protested a property tax cap, considering that “two of the largest components of every municipal budget over which local officials have little control — pension payments and health insurance costs — are increasing at exorbitant rates.”
The mandate issue has not gone unrecognized at the state level. Gov. Cuomo recently formed a Mandate Relief Redesign Team charged with reviewing existing poorly funded mandates imposed by New York State. “The enormous burden of unfunded and underfunded mandates is breaking the backs of taxpayers, counties and municipalities across the state,” Cuomo said in a news release. New York State Senator David Valesky supports a property tax cap, but agrees mandate relief is needed. “[The tax cap] has to be accompanied by real mandate relief because many of our local governments and school districts simply cannot continue operating under the status quo,” he said during a Jan. 11 state of the area forum in Cazenovia. “The revenue is just simply not going to be there for the State of New York, and we have to do things differently at all levels of government.”

Opinion Editorial
Revise mandates, then impose cap Like every other taxing entity in the state, school districts need to do more with less. Area school districts have struggled to hold the line on spending while offering the same or comparable services to students within their district. Last year, districts took a blow losing millions in state aid, as well as a decrease in sales tax revenue from Onondaga County. This year, administrators are facing a proposed tax cap from the governor, limiting any tax levy increase to no more than 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. While this would be good news to property owners – we wouldn’t have to worry about being taxed out of our homes – it could mean trouble for programs our school districts offer to students. Rising pensions and health insurance costs coupled with unfunded and underfunded state mandates, none of which leave any wiggle room in expenditures, leave student programming on the chopping block. While school districts have and should continue to do more with less, as everyone else in the state has, it’s unfair to significantly limit options, specifically ones that do not enhance the education of our youngest residents. Before approving this drastic measure, lawmakers need to seriously consider revising and possibly eliminating some outdated mandates passed from the state to local school districts and municipalities.

Bill Walsh raised family to be a monument to civility I never met the Honorable Bill Walsh. I did see him in church from time to time after he moved to Highland Drive in Marcellus, but I think I know him, at least in one way, because I’ve met and talked with one of his sons and one of his daughters. It was only a few years ago, before Bill’s son, Jim, decided to hang it up as a Congressman. He had graciously agreed to meet me at the Niagara Mohawk building (Yes, I know that it’s not named that any more, but it still is to me) to talk about the nominee for a testimonial dinner. I had been to his office several times as a petitioner for one cause or another. But this time, he said that it would be easier for me if he just walked over to NiMo. We discussed the nominee and then we chatted about the city, how it stretched out from the window of his office in the Federal Office building, how beautiful it was to him. He talked about Most Holy Rosary, his friends, his time in the Peace Corps and the meaning
of service. He asked me about the Samaritan Center and how it was doing. He said one of the most compelling things that I have ever heard from a public servant. When we were discussing the need to help the poor in the community, he said, “This is a nation built on competition and not everyone is equipped to compete.” Wow! Yes, yes, not everyone can compete, for a lot of reasons. That pretty well sums it up, I thought. His sister Mary is another story. It is only quite recently that I came to know that Mary Brown’s maiden name is Walsh. Her daughter played soccer with my daughter for Marcellus, and we would often meet alongside muddy fields late in the afternoon, each of us playing our own version of adult hooky to be there for our children. Both of us, dressed in business attire, would find ourselves with highheeled shoes stuck in the soft
earth. One day, Mary just took her shoes off and spent the rest of the time watching barefoot in the soft squishy earth. I really admired that. I thought, “There’s a woman who knows who she is.” These were not newsworthy moments, but rather, the moments of people who had learned to be real in the place where they lived. Their values of compassion and family spoke from an upbringing that can be attributed to their parents, one of whom happened to be the former Mayor of Syracuse and Congressman from our district, someone who has recently left us. This family exemplified the quintessential meaning of civility… to use one’s resources, one’s individual gifts for the greater good. And in a world where instant gratification is exacerbated by a media that has desensitized us to violence, that is quick to draw lines between one group and another, that has promoted a sense of “me first” above others, Bill Walsh’s family understands that the operative pronoun is not “me,” but “us.”
100 or so years of tradition unimpeded by progress An old saying in the fire service is “100 or so years of tradition unimpeded by progress.” As a matter of political gospel — and survival — volunteer fire departments across Onondaga County are almost sacrosanct, practically immutable to change. No matter the budget pressures created by the state of the modern-day economy, no matter the pressures on state and local governments to increase their cost-effectiveness, the fire department budgets are generally considered to be untouchable by many local elected officials. The current economic landscape clearly has been shaped by the almost brutal fiscal conditions in localities across Upstate New York. Presently, we are in an era of severe economic uncertainty, created by the floundering economy, compressed sales tax revenues, uncertain but diminishing future state aid to municipalities, a static population, increases in the annual cost-of-living, plus the pressures involved in raising property taxes. It is worthwhile to examine a basic question. To wit, is the present arrangement for firefighting in Onondaga County, with its 57 volunteer
fire departments, vacuuming up more than a fair share of municipal budgets in its continued pursuit of new and very expensive equipment, too often duplicated by neighboring departments, and new and very expensive fire stations? Many municipal officials don’t feel confident tangling with their community’s fire departments. A way to do that, however, is to establish a county-wide study to determine and then to implement a more modern, more cost-effective system. Frankly, with 57 fire departments across the county, it is incumbent for the county to take the lead in this issue. Thanks to modern improvements, it is possible to respond more quickly to fires. In the case of the village of Camillus Fire Department, it was quite time-consuming for the older fire apparatus to chugchug-chug up the east hill out of the village. Today, with the modern, more powerful apparatus, the hill is a breeze. One characteristic regarding fire services in the Camillus Fire Protection District is the fact it is not included in the general tax levy
of the municipality. Instead, it appears as an “off-budget” item, in an arrangement referred to as a special district. The amount is subject to village review and final town board approval. In the case of fire protection, as provided by the Camillus VFD, the basic charge to the special district residents is $521,000 for the 2011 calendar year. This translates to a charge of $1.036 6 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. But other factors have contributed to the new view, and one is a question of efficacy. There’s a growing discussion about whether — in a world with fewer fires and more emergency medical-related incidents and automobile accidents — firefighters are deploying resources to maximum effect. One of the big questions right now is whether the fire services are actually learning anything amidst the constant economic threats to their local communities. The pressure is really on local governments to fund smarter ways to manage their resources in the era of increasing budget pressures.
Each local committee has the option of sharing with local hungerfighting groups up to 25 percent of the money raised. As a result of choosing this option, the Marcellus Food Pantry recently received a check for $555.71 from Church World Service.

munity. The food pantry volunteers are very grateful for this support from the community and we applaud all those who were involved with the Crop Hunger Walk.

Marcellus volleyball moves to fall in 2011 By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com
In the opening days of 2011, the Marcellus girls volleyball team made it official – it will move from a winter to a fall schedule. This decision was years in the making. Prior to 2006, all Section III girls volleyball teams played in the winter. But in the fall of that year, Class AA schools moved to the fall, giving themselves an opportunity to compete for the state championships held each November at Glens Falls Civic Center. The trend continued last September when the area’s other OHSL Liberty division powers, Skaneateles and Cazenovia, moved to the fall, battling for a sectional title – which Skaneateles won. Both schools saw participation in volleyball increase, too. As this was going on, Marcellus conducted a survey with all of its girls in sixth through 10th grades, asking whether a move from the winter to fall would adversely affect established fall programs like soccer and cross country. When the school district found that little impact would be made by a season switch, they agreed to the move, meaning varsity and JV teams will now compete August through November – though the modified team (seventh and eighth grade) maintains

So this is the last go-round for Marcellus volleyball in the winter – and it’s a good one so far, as the Mustangs, off its first loss to the season to Homer on Jan. 7, swept Westhill 25-16, 25-8, 25-15 to improve its record to 7-1. On the back line, Jenna Annable recorded nine assists, while Tori Bingham amassed six assists, five digs, three kills and two aces. Nicole Fletcher had seven kills, with Devon Landers adding five kills. Sara Ryan had four kills and three aces as Allie Massara contributed three aces and Allie Vanderwerf added three assists.
Hourigan hurt as Eagles fall to Cazenovia By Phil Blackwell In an instant Thursday night, Molly Hourigan fell to the court, took her time getting up, went to the sidelines - and the JordanElbridge girls basketball team’s championship ambitions got thrown into question. The large story that emerged out of the Eagles’ 52-39 loss to Cazenovia at Buckley Gym was not that J-E’s seven-game win streak came to an end, or that the Lakers stayed undefeated and moved into sole possession of first place in the
OHSL Liberty division. It was that Hourigan, the Eagles’ imposing junior center who had made triple doubles in points, rebounds and blocks a routine matter early this season, left the game early in the fourth quarter with a hyperextended knee. Without Hourigan to worry about, Cazenovia outscored J-E 20-2 down the stretch. Going in, it looked like the Eagles had all the advantages. It was at full strength, while Cazenovia had to play without starting forward Ellen Burr, out with an illness.
But the Lakers were used to missing players in the lineup, having started 8-0 even though its top player, Ashley Stec (who is going to Manhattan College next year), missed five games due to an ankle injury. J-E trailed 8-2 in the first quarter when it rattled off eight straight points, four of them from Hourigan, who included a block, rebound and steal during that stretch. But the Eagles still trailed 13-12 after one period, and had to play the rest of the half without senior forward Kelsey RichSee J-E, next page
Warriors sweep thrillers with Bishop Ludden By Phil Blackwell Just a few minutes and a couple of blocks away from each other, the Westhill and Bishop Ludden basketball teams gathered on Friday night, a neighborhood showdown augmented by new and exciting plot lines. Fittingly, both games were close – and both were won by the Warriors. The Westhill boys prevailed 51-47 at Ludden with a second-half comeback propelled by
Nathan Nigolian’s hot shooting, while the Westhill girls fended off a furious Gaelic Knights comeback to gain a 52-50 victory at home. Given their close proximity, Westhill and Bishop Ludden were inevitable rivals - but events in the last year only added to the intensity of it. First, there was the baseball battles of the spring, where Ludden won twice in the regular season on its way to the top of the See Warriors, next page

At the start, WG took charge with Tyler Zapisek, Matt O’Donnell, Pat Guy and Mike Mellen working together to win the 200 medley relay in a time of 1:51.61. On his own, Zapisek claimed the 50
freestyle in 24.52 seconds, while O’Donnell needed 5:28.65 to earn first place in the 500 freestyle. Later, the pair worked with Collin Zapisek and Jake Mullet to win the 400 freestyle relay in 3:40.01. Ben Seketa had his lone win in the 200 individual medley, tearing to a time of 1:57.34, just after Mullet had needed 2:00.84 to prevail in the 200 freestyle. CNS featured Billy Werksman earning 247.85 points in diving and, in a rare display of versatility, also winning the 100 backstroke in 1:03.96. All this leads the Wildcats to a big meet Wednesday night at Liverpool that will go a long way toward deciding the CNY Counties League race.
Intending to shake off all the rough patches it went through early this season, the Marcellus girls basketball team earned its second straight win last Tuesday night, topping Skaneateles 49-33 at Onondaga Community College. That was the first game of a doubleheader at OCC, which also featured the Marcellus boys meeting Skaneateles – and never getting close in a 75-54 loss to the Lakers. Both the Marcellus boys and Skaneateles girls ceded home games to take part in this fund-raising doubleheader at OCC. All proceeds from this game, plus three other doubleheaders in the ensuing two weeks, would benefit the “More Than A Game” Foundation and its charitable partner, the Golisano Children’s Hospital. The Marcellus girls were facing a Skaneateles squad that had won three games in a row – but had just lost one of its top players,
Jackie Leslie (averaging 11 points per game) to a broken finger. Taking full advantage of this, the Mustangs seemed to make every shot in the first quarter, including three 3-pointers, as it bolted out to a 21-10 lead and would not trail all night. Skaneateles would make sporadic runs and were still within 33-22 late in the third quarter before Marcellus reeled off seven straight points late in the period, all but putting the game away. Emily Brissette and Melissa Lee led the Mustangs with 11 points apiece, while Bethanie Abbott put up 10 points. Mary Buck led Skaneateles with 10 points as Emily Call got eight points. Marcellus could only wish for similar success in the boys game – but Skaneateles didn’t allow that to happen. All through the first three periods, the Mustangs’ offense stagnated, and the Lakers See Hoops, next page

state Class B rankings, only to see Westhill prevail in the Section III finals on its way to a second consecutive state championship. Then events in girls basketball added to the flavor, as before her senior season Ashley Cianfriglia transferred from Ludden to Westhill. Since both teams were already situated in the OHSL Liberty division, it insured that, when this winter, it would have even greater intensity. Their first encounter took place Friday, and for a half neither side could gain any kind of advantage. Both offenses struggled until the second quarter, when baskets started to fall with more regularity. At the break, Westhill clung to a 24-23 lead. Cianfriglia helped her new team seize control in the third quarter, hitting on a series of shots to push the Warriors (5-2) to a 47-37 lead. For the n ight, Cianfriglia had 24 points, converting on five of her trademark 3-pointers to account for most
the main support. Despite all this, Ludden (3-6) nearly caught up to its one-time star in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of a Westhill slump to move within a basket before its furious rally got stopped. Kayla Kibling led the Gaelic Knights with 16 points, while Natalie Barletta got 13 points. Lauren Roy (seven points) and Nicole Granteed (six points) helped out. Down the road, Bishop Ludden’s boys were determined to maintain its hold on first place in the OHSL Liberty division, a place to which it returned this season after a nine-year absence. Yet it caught Westhill just as the reigning state Class B champions, with its new-look lineup, were flush with newfound confidence in the wake of its 65-58, come-frombehind win over Bishop Grimes earlier in the week. In front of its raucous home crowd, the fired-up Gaelic Knights led throughout the
Ludden to seize a 26-21 advantage going into the break. But Westhill made up the ground in the third quarter and took its first lead. Ludden regained that edge, but Nigolian’s jumper just as the period ended pulled his team back even, 35-35, and foreshadowed more heroics in the fourth quarter. Nigolian was having a great week, having held Bishop Grimes star Mike Stone to 14 points before going to Ludden. Here, he would excel on the offensive side, nearly getting a triple-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. And 10 of those points came in the fourth quarter, as Westhill, trailing 44-40 midway through the period, roared back again behind a Nigolian 3-pointer and a Justin Biles jumper to grab a 45-44 lead. Not done yet, Nigolian got a key rebound, then raced to the other end for another basket in the waning minutes and, to cap it off, sank four crucial free throws.
sectional baseball final seven months ago - who finished with 12 points as Biles got nine points. For Ludden, Corey Hunter, with 12 points, and Dan Kaigler, with 11 points, both hit double figures with Beaudoin as Casey Ganley added six points. Ludden, before meeting Westhill, dismissed Jordan-Elbridge 63-35 on Wednesday night, breaking away in the middle stages as it outscored the Eagles 34-8 in the second and third periods. Dan Kaigler had 12 points, with Corey Hunter adding 10 points. Ben Hackett got nine points as Matt Rogers and Kelly Beaudoin earned seven points apiece. Even with the defeat, the Gaelic Knights could regain control of the league race if it beats Skaneateles Wednesday night.

ardson, who picked up three fouls. But Hourigan continued to produce inside, finishing with 12 first-half points. That, plus timely shots from Kali Davis, helped J-E go to halftime with a 25-22 lead, and Davis stayed hot in the third quarter, getting seven of her 16 points. When Davis sank another 3-pointer with 7:39 to play, the Eagles extended its lead to 37-32 - and would not get another field goal the rest of the night as, a minute later, Hourigan, who only had two points in the second half, fell hard to the court while scrambling for a loose ball,
then hobbled off and did not return. Cazenovia took over, as Raeanne Clabeaux notched 10 of her game-high 22 points in the fourth quarter and Stec added 13 points. Just before going to Cazenovia, the Eagles nearly got another triple-double from Hourigan in the course of last Tuesday’s 47-31 win over Bishop Ludden. In a first-half statement, J-E’s defense limited the Gaelic Knights to single digits, heading out to a 27-8 lead, which allowed the Eagles to play on even terms in the second half and still breeze home. Hourigan fell one point short of that triple-double, backing up her nine points with 13 rebounds and 13
blocks. Kali Davis and Kelsey Richardson each finished with 10 points as Natalie Andrianos contributed seven points. Ludden’s top scorer, Nicole Granteed, had nine points. J-E’s boys would lose 63-35 to Ludden, with Tom Poppe (12 points) and Leland Holmes (eight points) accounting for much of the offense. Then, in back-to-back weekend games, the Eagles fell to Cazenovia 59-46, despite Poppe’s 17 points, and took a 72-30 defeat to Bishop Grimes on Saturday. With or without Hourigan, J-E is in action next week against Hannibal and Skaneateles.

First Niagara opens Fairmount branch
WG boys basketball improves to 10-0 In the course of streaking to an 8-0 start, the West Genesee boys basketball team had rarely faced late-game pressure such as what it dealt with in last Tuesday night’s game against Corcoran. Yet the Wildcats responded to it well, coming from behind and making all the key plays in the homestretch to beat the Cougars 67-64 to make it nine wins in a row. Corcoran, who entered the game with a pedestrian 1-3 record, pushed the tempo from the start, forcing WG to adjust – which it did, though it trailed 21-17 after one period. All through the next two periods, it

became an exchange, the Wildcats again turning to Eric Spencer for consistent production. The senior center would work his way to 28 points, hitting on 12 field goals and four successful free throws. Despite this, WG still was behind, 52-50, going to the fourth quarter, but it fought its way to the front behind Spencer and Corey Herrington, each of whom hit on three field goals. Ahead 65-64 as time began to wind down, WG knew that Corcoran would concentrate its defense on Spencer – so he passed to Phil Allen, who drove in for the basket with 17 seconds left.

WG wrestlers edge Skaneateles By Phil Blackwell By the smallest possible margin, the West Genesee wrestling team was saved last Thursday night as it claimed a thriller over Skaneateles. The two sides actually tied 39-39, but because the Wildcats had eight victories to the Lakers’ seven, it earned the tie-breaking criteria point and won 40-39. Each side got a forfeit, the Wildcats giving up 96 points but awarded the 112-pound match as Nick Fetterolf got the six points. Otherwise, everything was contested. Connor Grome had the quickest pin, at 96 pounds, taking just 33 seconds to pin Brandon Murray, while Jon Stefano (103 pounds) took just 1:28 to finish off Bradley Ditch. At 285

pounds, Joe Clancy earned a crucial pin by beating Garrett Navaroli at the end of the first period. Jon Fetterolf, at 135 pounds, had the other pin as he finished off Dominic Petrocci 35 seconds into the third period, and a trio of decisions helped the Wildcats get the other points. Ian Coolican controlled matters at 119 pounds, shutting out Tyler Saunders 6-0. Matt Nichols (171 pounds) fought his way past Chris Wise 7-3 and Marcus Walker, at 215 pounds, earned a 9-5 win over Conor Rourke.

short. In support of Spencer, Herrington finished with 11 points and Matt Naton had seven points. Corcoran saw Delvon Adams lead the way with 21 points as Brandon Reed and Shakem Buckmon each got 10 points. Two nights later, the Wildcats went for 10 in a row at Rome Free Academy and, again, had to heavily lean on Spencer to produce a 54-43 victory over the Black Knights. Sluggish at the start, WG trailed 15-10 after one period, but once Spencer started to establish his game in the paint, things turned around. The Wildcats raced ahead, 25-21, by halftime, then kept adding to the margin in the last two periods. Much of it was due to Spencer, who poured in 29 points off 12 field goals and five successful free throws. Naton, with seven points, and
Teresa “Terry” (Speach) Re, 85, of Camillus, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday Dec. 29, 2010, surrounded by her family. She was born on Saturday Sept. 26, 1925, in Syracuse, the daughter of Nicholas Speech and Rose Paris Speach.

Terry loved gardening and was a master at turning her garden bounty into delicious meals, as she was an excellent chef and baker. She and Joe turned their home into a bed and breakfast inn after retirement and enjoyed hosting people from around the world. She was a long-time member of Grace Assembly of God Church and she and her husband enjoyed holding Bible studies in their home. She was also an avid reader.

Herrington, with five points, offered the most help. Brandon Gullo led a balanced RFA attack with 10 points. A big week awaits the Wildcats. First, it would travel to Liverpool Tuesday, a team it beat 6947 on Dec. 27 in the Bishop Ludden Rosemary Corcoran Holiday Classic, but has since put together a five-game win streak thaks to the hot play of forward Ian Hamm, who is averaging more than 20 points per game this month. Then comes WG’s most anticipated game so far – a Friday-night trip to Henninger. The Black Knights are 7-2 and are considered, by many, the Class AA favorites. A win here would go a long way toward silencing any remaining doubts about the Wildcats’ ability to contend for a championship. WG’s girls team played hard at Corcoran last Tuesday, but lost to the Cougars 63-51. The Wildcats got off to a nice start, leading 13-9 in the first quarter, and were still even (24-24) at
the half before Corcoran used an 18-10 third quarter to move ahead for good. Still, the Wildcats had a fine offensive effort, as Marie Temara poured in 21 points and Melissa Fumano contributed 12 points. Katie Kolinski (seven points) and Vicki Graveline (six points) also made solid contributions. Corcoran’s Coriesha Hickey led her side with 20 points. The Wildcats also fell Thursday to Rome Free Academy 53-37, a game where it led 24-19 at the break, but fell apart in the second half as the Black Knights outscored them 34-13. Unable to rest much, WG went to the Juggler Classic and lost a tight first-round game to host Utica-Notre Dame 51-45. The Wildcats led 19-9 after one period, but cooled down as the Jugglers used a 16-5 third-quarter burst to move ahead. Fumano, in defeat, produced 18 points, while Temara finished with 13 points and Kolinski added nine points. Emily Durr, like Fumano a freshman, led UND with 19 points.
