A day of remembrance Liverpool American Legion celebrates Veterans Day By Miranda L. Pennock mpennock@cnylink.com

Goodbye, William Beach

Parks department hit hard in Cicero budget cuts The Cicero Town Board requested cuts — deep cuts — going into the 2011 budget process. Some cuts are so deep, departments are feeling the hits hard, particularly in the Parks and Recreation Department where the hardest hit to take was the decision to suspend the Learn to Swim Program and the closure of William Beach on Oneida Lake for 2011.

According to Jody Rogers, the town’s director of youth bureau, parks and recreation, when preparing her budget and looking at different operations, if the actual function could not sustain itself it was an area she looked at. “We don’t have a revenue source at beach facilities,” Rogers said, adding there really weren’t any other areas in the department’s budget to cut that much. William Park has its own specific budget because

There’s a sense of camaraderie. They sit, visit and reminisce. Stories are told, memories are recapped and friendships are rekindled. This is what Veterans Day is about for many of the United States’ military personnel, past and present. “Even at 80 and 90, they’re still talking about what ship they were on,” said Unit 188 American Legion Auxiliary President Alice Bigelow during the Liverpool Post’s annual open house on Thursday, an event she initiated more than 10 years ago. Post 188 American Legion Commander Ken Palmer, retired Army sergeant first class, said the open house was started “to show appreciation to our veterans and to our current military personnel. A lot of our veterans that show up today can’t make the meetings.” Many members of the Post are elderly and have trouble getting around, but they make a point of Please see Veterans, page 9

of the beach and costs associated with it. The park budget is generally between $40,000 and $45,000, a majority of which is the beach operation and includes the cost of hiring and training lifeguards. Rogers said her budget for William Park went from $40,820 to a staggering $10,720 once the decision to close the swimming area was made. “I was asked to give back $100,000 total,” Rogers said.

Opening December 1st!

In an attempt to reach that amount, there have been several contractual reductions in all areas of the Parks and Recreation Department. However, Rogers said she was not able to get to that number, but was able to return to the town approximately $78,000 through the cuts she did make. “It’s not something that the board took lightly. I don’t agree with the cut, but I understand,” Rogers said. Please see Parks, page 7

Marching for babies Family and friends of the Harris family, of Cicero, walked as “Team Mar-Dar” during the March of Dimes March for Babies on Sunday Oct. 24 at Onondaga Lake Park. The team walked in memory of Mark, Jr. and Darryn Harris. The team was led by mom and dad, Jennifer and Mark Harris, Sr. (center), and their brother, Joshua, who was born seven weeks premature and has Spina Bifida. The sign on his stroller read: “I am a miracle! My brothers are my guardian angels — Mark Jr. and Darryn.” Between 500 and 600 people attended the walk, which was expected to raise approximately $110,000, said Andy Carolin, board chair of the Central New York division of the March of Dimes. Last year, the March for Babies raised $106,000, which was spent locally on research.

From page 1 was stealing money from the company’s ATM account between February and October 2010. Griffo is believed to have manipulated several company accounts to mask any discrepancy and is accused of making off with nearly $40,000 in cash. A member of the Greater Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, Griffo operates a multi-faceted service business called Image Force. She had recently served as secretary for the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Liverpool Chamber Executive Director Lucretia Hudzinski said the chamber would issue no statement about the case, but she confirmed on Nov. 10 that Griffo has resigned her position with the board. “We have no comment,” Hudzinski wrote in an e-mail to the Star-Review. “It’s between Hafner’s and Bev, and she’s innocent until proven guilty.” Prior to establishing Image Force, Griffo worked as a branch manager and assistant vice president at Alliance Bank N.A., in Syracuse, according to her profile on LinkedIn.com. She indicated there she was educated at Empire State College, 2002-05. Griffo and Russell J. Griffo, also of 147 Crystal Drive, were elected to membership in the Liverpool Elks Lodge BPOE 2348 in September 2004. Griffo was arraigned in town of Clay Court released on her own recognizance. She is scheduled to return Jan. 4 to court.

Opinion Editorial

Calling all veterans Veterans Day has come and gone. To some, it’s a day off work. To millions more it’s a day to remember the living veterans who walk among us, most never asking for recognition of the service they have provided our country. Last week, many local veterans gathered at Post 188 American Legion in Liverpool to kick back and enjoy the day reserved for them. Sadly, some of those American heroes had to use one of their personal or vacation days to attend the open house put on by the Auxiliary ladies. When so many have given the ultimate sacrifice — life and limb — why are they not granted one day away from their jobs without penalty? It’s vexing to think some receive a day of rest from a menial job when they have not fought for that holiday, but those who were drafted for Vietnam, battled it out in France and Italy during World War II and the men and women who have served in the most current conflicts must offer up time earned to share a beer and stories with their comrades on a day reserved particularly to recognize them. And while those veterans took time off work to attend, and did so gladly, there are hundreds more who live locally and have made no attempt to join organizations like the Legion or the VFW. We ask you, young vets, to get involved. Call the Legion, stop by the VFW, see what they’re all about.

New video celebrates the veterans of Post 188 There’s no doubt war is hell. Just ask Bob Albro. He was there in 1945 when the U.S. Army liberated the Dachau concentration camp in Southern Germany. “That was pretty gruesome,” remembers Albro, who lives in Liverpool. Bob is a member of the village’s American Legion Post 188, whose veterans are the subject of a new Liverpool Legends video produced by Liverpool Public Library. The war crimes could be hard to stomach and harder yet to understand, but so could human error. John Grom was an Army mailman north of Saigon during the Viet Cong’s Tet Offensive in 1968, but what he remembers most vividly is the friendly fire that accidentally took the lives of American soldiers at Camp Red Ball. Too busy to worry While death and destruction characterize the “art” of war, lighter moments also flicker in the memories of the men who fought them. In the new DVD, “The Veterans of Post 188,” Navy vet Dino Paschetto recalls proposing to his future wife, Ida Cairus, via V-mail.

It took him some 30 days to receive her response. “Weren’t you anxious to hear from her?” asked interviewer Linda Loomis. “Yeah, but we were pretty busy,” Paschetto said. Busy is right. Paschetto was working feverishly repairing vessels on the Admiralty Islands in preparation for the invasion of the Philippines in the Pacific Theater. Bill McGee, an Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War, recalls a happy accident, landing a single-prop plane sideways during a windstorm. Marines helicopter mechanic Roy Johnson remembers the way monsoon season simply washed the weeks away. “There was no such thing as weekends,” Johnson said. “Every day was the same — months of rain, 24 hours a day.” Johnson returned to active duty more than 20 years later as a commander of a tank platoon in the Persian Gulf War. Besides liberating Kuwait, he accomplished his personal goal. “I brought all my Marines home,” Johnson

told Loomis. Scouts view vets’ video More than 100 viewers turned out as “The Veterans of Post 188” was screened on Veterans’ Day, Nov. 11, at the library. While most of the baker’s dozen interviews focused on war stories, members also recount a brief history of Post 188 and its annual Memorial Day ceremony. Fred Wyker recalls taking over Memorial Day responsibilities from its founder Fred Kies. Ken Hurst tells a funny story about a saxophone band playing at one of the lateMay parades, and Bob Albro recalls a certain one-armed bandit that did business upstairs at the Gleason Mansion, Post 188’s home until 1972 when it built the hall now standing on Cypress Street. Last Thursday’s screening was attended by members of Boy Scout Troop 139, Girl Scout Troop 706, pianist Barbara Harshberger, vocalist Mary Dean Landers and library Director Jean Armour Polly. Producers Rick Fensterer and Cindy Hibbert were joined by videographer

Reduction will improve efficiency By John Dougherty

On Nov. 2, an important public referendum was approved by voters that will affect County government (in a positive way) for many years. The referendum asked the voters to approve a proposal to reduce the size of the county Legislature from the current 19 members to 17. This proposal was born from within the county Legislature during this year’s budget process as a way to reduce cost and improve the efficiency of county government. It is also part of an overall strategy to keep the number of people in each legislative district about the same. As people move between districts, or into and out of the county, the boundaries of each Legislative district need to be adjusted. The last time the size of the Legislature

was changed was in 2001 when it was reduced from 24 to 19 to accomplish a similar goal. By periodically adjusting the size of the Legislature and the boundaries of each district, it guarantees that each citizen in the county has equal representation in county government and prevents certain areas from having more or less control than others. That brings me to the question of “how?” How exactly does the county Legislature decide how to redraw the district boundaries and how do we decide which two Legislators get “the boot?” As you can imagine, this is going to be a difficult process. The U.S. Census results will be available in March 2011. The Census results will show the populations in each of the current Legislative districts which will

indicate which districts have experienced the biggest increases and the biggest decreases since 2000. Based on those figures, we will be able to tell which of these districts need to be enlarged (due to decreasing population), which need to be reduced (due to increasing population) and which ones can be combined because they have decreased in population and have no place to expand to. Based on data taken since the last Census, we know that the city of Syracuse has continued a population decline over the past few years while most of the surrounding towns saw population increases. This is a trend that has been seen nationwide as more people move from cities into the suburbs. The northern suburbs (including Clay) have been growing, but at a well-managed rate

Dan Moore. “It was a privilege,” Moore said, “to be with these great men.” Brass players wanted Speaking of Post 188, the Liverpool American Legion Concert Band could use a couple extra trumpet and tuba players. The band has rehearsed every Monday night since 1955. If interested, please call leader Kathy Stickler at 492-3421. Music Friday at Café at 407 The pop-rock duo Micaroni & Vulcano, who’ve been entertaining Upstate since the 1960s, will perform at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19, at Café at 407, at Ophelia’s Place, 407 Tulip St., in the village. Admision is free, but donations are encouraged. “We’ve played at pretty much every type of venue you can imagine,” said Sam Vulcano who plays guitar in tandem with Tony Micaroni. “We played at the War Memorial for a USA/USSR wrestling match, at a prison, at campgrounds, weddings, christenings and even a birthday party for a 100-yearold, and we’ve played in about every bar, tavern and roadhouse in CNY.”

which means that the redistricting will likely not affect the residents of Lysander, Clay and Cicero in a very dramatic way. It is much more likely that the residents of Syracuse will have different representation after this process is complete. In closing, I thank all those who supported this referendum. I voted for this proposal when it was presented to the Legislature, and I voted for it on Election Day. This is an important step towards containing cost and improving efficiency in County government. It also maintains a tight connection between the size of Government and the number of people it serves. John Dougherty is an Onondaga County legislator representing the 2nd District, which includes a portion of Clay.

Opinion A community gives HOPE Friday night, I witnessed what one person on a mission can accomplish. In 1978, Therese Schoeneckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter died in a car accident. While she mourned like any mother would, she pressed forward, determined to see that something positive came from Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. Out of the ashes of grief and despair, HOPE for Bereaved, a support group for those who have lost a loved one, was born. The group started small, as an informal parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support group, but has blossomed into a not-for-profit commu-

nity organization that now serves thousands of people each year. On Nov. 12, HOPE held its 32nd Annual Celebration of HOPE, its biggest benefit of the year. Dan Cummings of WIXT-TV 9 played the role of emcee. Scores of people who support the mission attended the event and shopped special items and a silent

auction, which included more than 250 items donated by individuals, groups and local businesses. These included sundry gift certificates, baskets of wine and spirits, paintings, jewelry and sporting goods. There was also a live auction later in the evening. HOPE honored five volunteers: Marv Hahn, Jean Lawson, Jeanette and Loren Peterson, and Jim Roschick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most of whom first came to HOPE themselves needing help to get through a critical time in their life. Jean Lawson came to HOPE after her husband

Clarence died in 2006. She now organizes and oversees the monthly newsletter. Jeanette and Loren Peterson sought out HOPE in 2002 following the death of their son, Ben. The couple became coordinators for the Butterfly Garden of HOPE, enlisting volunteers to groom the beautiful garden where many weddings, prom photos and memorial services take place. Jim Roschick attended HOPEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bereaved Parents Support Group following the death of his son, Eric, in 2001. Having experienced grief, as well as having a career in

counseling, Jim became a grief counselor and eventually started up the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support group. Marv Hahn started volunteering in 2002, using his skills as an electrician. The number of clients who have become volunteers shows how effective the HOPE process is in transforming grief. The staff and volunteers are warm and genuine. They understand the hurt and pain of losing a parent, child, spouse or friend. Still, laughter, smiles and a positive outlook towards the future is in the air. HOPE

helps people get their life back. As Therese always says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never the same but you can be a good new you.â&#x20AC;?

fortunate, the poor, disabled children, and the underrepresented. Human rights, civil rights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; these were her issues and she always stayed strong in her convictions. Not to be forgotten has been her long-time concern for animals, particularly cats. Her compassion for abandoned animals is without parallel. But in the midst of all

these achievements, let us never forget that she has always retained the enthusiasm and commitment of that second grade teacher who came to Lakeshore Road Elementary School in 1964. First of all, she is a teacher of children. If Sylvia were to identify her greatest accomplishment, she would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a teacher!â&#x20AC;?

Matousek personnel file a walk down memory lane A few weeks ago, in recognition of her retirement after 46 years as an elementary teacher and president of the North Syracuse Education Association, Sylvia Matousek was honored by her many friends. As I reminded the audience, looking through Sylviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel folder is like taking a walk down North Syracuse memory lane! â&#x2013; We start off with an appointment letter from Superintendent Mark Wayne in 1964 with an annual salary of 4,900 to teach second grade at LRE;

â&#x2013; Even an approval letter from one of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legends, the late Charles Bradley, to go to a conference in Binghamton in 1969; â&#x2013; We move through the years with a very positive evaluation report from your friend, Bob Maloney, at Lakeshore Road Elementary School; â&#x2013; Correspondence appears from Tim Palmer,

Blaise Salerno, Bill Frame and Dave Smith; â&#x2013; And finally, my letter acknowledging her intent to retire after a distinguished career of 46 years! Sylvia was honored that evening as a leader of teachers, a strong unionist, who was not hesitant to take a stand during some very difficult times. Of course, that role and all her achievements were noteworthy and

commendable. But there is much more to Sylvia. Coming from Ballston Spa in 1960 to Oswego, and attending college during the early 60s, a period marked by John Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Frontier, and Lyndon Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Great Society, and capped by the Civil Rights Act of 1965, Sylvia was strongly influenced by the times which sparked her concern for the less

To the editor: The Cicero Town Board voted on Nov. 10 to reinstate an agreement for a shared assessor with the town of Salina. Prior to the vote a thorough explanation of shared services was explained by Supervisor Judy Boyke, including but not limited to the financial burden placed upon the Cicero budget. The current costs of the combined service program cost each town $64,089, for a total of $128,179 including benefits and family medical. We are paying $64,089 for a part-time employee. If each town had its own full-time assessor at the current rate the annual cost savings per town would be $23,000. It is difficult to understand why any town board member would agree to support such a contract after hearing the facts a presented by the supervisor. It is a common assumption that each town will receive a $7 per parcel state reimbursement as a result of the shared service agreement. Ms. Boyke continued to explain that there is a definite difference in a consolidated assessment program versus a shared contract and neither municipality will qualify for the reimbursement. A consolidated agreement requires a local law subject to a permissive referendum. Other requirements for consolidated assessing units mandates employing a single assessor, preparing a single assessment role, assessing at a uniform percentage, conducting reassessments at one time and having a single Board of Assessment Review. Then and only then would the municipalities benefit from the $7 per parcel reimbursement from the state of New York. The sole board member who changed his vote from the original motion passed on Oct. 27 stated his reason was that there were no qualified candidates applying for a full-time assessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. It is difficult, again, as a resident to understand why this would be a reason to change his vote. In July the town board agreed to advertise a full-time assessorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. Applications were received and this same board member criticized the supervisor of her recom-

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Recipe for disasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Teens and smart phones a risky combination

By Matthew Liptak Contributor Â Onondaga County Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Cali told parents Nov. 8 at Roxboro Middle School in Mattydale the combination of the Internet, digital cameras and cell phones was causing real problems in the local community and called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;recipe for disaster.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is having smart devices, computers with cameras ... and access to the Internet in the pockets of middle school and teenage students has been a recipe for disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The convergence of junior high and middle school reality and smart phones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found in law enforcement has been really, really difficult,â&#x20AC;? Cali said in a presentation by the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. His talk concentrated on three different dangers involving students: â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexting,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;cyber-bullyingâ&#x20AC;? and online predators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sextingâ&#x20AC;? is the transmission of indecent images or text via a cell phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right here in Onondaga County itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a huge issue

for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens all the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some young girl takes a picture of herself and she sends it to her boyfriend because she thinks he loves her, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never tell anyone and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never show anyone ... and then when they break up that thing goes to everybody.â&#x20AC;? He gave an example of one local football star and his girlfriend, who remained unnamed. The boy was caught with a photograph of the couple engaging in a sexual act. The player was an upstanding student otherwise, and was given a break. Authorities didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t register him as a sex offender. Prosecutors often struggle with how far they should go with a case involving minors as the perpetrators. Most technology-related crimes carry serious penalties. Anyone possessing a sexually explicit image of a child under 16 is guilty of possessing child pornography, Cali said, and a person who transmits a sexually explicit image of a child under the age of 17 is guilty of distributing child pornography. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ also â&#x20AC;&#x153;cyber-bullying,â&#x20AC;? or harassing somebody through online means. Prosecutors call it aggravated harassment and a Class A misdemeanor. Roxboro principal Steve Wolf said it has almost become common at his school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we see here a lot is

the bullying and harassment online. When it spills over into school we act on it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge thing that we see almost daily here.â&#x20AC;? And what starts off school grounds often ends up on them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times what happens is things become heated long before they show up to school and then when they show up to school it kind of boils over and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fight, or somebody gets hit or somebody gets hurt,â&#x20AC;? Cali said. Parents and children should be aware too, that predators continue to use the Internet. The assistant district attorney cited multiple cases. In one instance, a local teenager struck up an online relationship with an adult through Facebook, a social networking website. The adult began making sexual advances online. A friend of the girl notified her parents, and the parents notified authorities. Police took over the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end of the correspondence, posing as two teenage girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was planning to come up to meet this 15-year-old and this 13-year-old, and he bought a bus ticket and he came up to Syracuse,â&#x20AC;? Cali said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was arrested and now he has a bunch of new friends somewhere else.â&#x20AC;? Cali said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t telling the stories to scare people, nor was he against the use of technology. Instead, he

wanted to show such events can and do happen locally and there are actions that can be taken by both parents and students to stay safe. For instance, always thinking before you post is critical because images canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be recovered after you send them, Cali said. Everyone has a forward button, and students should not only be thinking about predators online, but also potential future colleges and employers that may see the pictures.Â Â Also, never meet someone offline that you meet through the Internet, but, if you must, bring a parent and meet in a public place. According to Cali, parents should seriously consider not giving children phones with Internet access and camera capability in the first place. They can call their service provider to have image texting eliminated from their plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying the bill.â&#x20AC;? The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force has devoted considerable time to educating students and parents about being safe online. The presentation has been given to 8,000 students over the last several years, Cali said. But the jury remains out on if they are listening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going after it and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better,â&#x20AC;? Cali said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.â&#x20AC;?

An emotional day for those who have served, Palmer is humbled on Veterans Day and has great respect for servicemen and women who have served as he has, particularly for fallen comrades, those who have been buried on home soil and in cemeteries overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] a time to remember them. They paid their price for our country,â&#x20AC;? he said.

To show their gratitude to the men and women of our military, the students and staff collected several boxes of items to donate to the Military Courtesy Room at Hancock International Airport.

CNS boys volleyball rolls to AA title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com No way was the CiceroNorth Syracuse boys volleyball team going to let this Section III Class AA final on its home court get out of its grasp. Unlike 2009, when Baldwinsville snatched the championship from the Northstars, Wednesday night’s title match provided a sweet ending as, led by faces both familiar (Jim Coleman) and new (Ethan Irish), CNS swept no. 3 seed Central Square in three games. Head coach Michael Lucia said his team’s maturity had a lot to do with its dominant season-long run to the championship. “It’s a team with a lot of NOTICE OF FORMATION Notice of Formation of LLC.

experience (10 seniors), and they know how not to give the other team any momentum (during the match),” said Lucio. Central Square would search all night, in vain, for that momentum, but it could not match the magical effort it put forth a week earlier when it stunned no. 2 seed Baldwinsville in five games, denying the final everyone had expected for much of the season. Part of it, too, was the fact that CNS, despite two comfortable wins over the Red Hawks in the regular season, did not take the visitors for granted and brought forth its full effort with a championship banner in sight. And it began with Coleman, the steady back-line

leader. In just three games, Coleman, who also is a pitcher on the Northstars’ varsity baseball team, delivered 30 assists, using his touch and poise to set up the powerful hitters on CNS’s front line. “Jim keeps a level head,” said Lucia. “All floor leaders know where the ball is going at all times.” Irish transferred from Living Word Academy and only joined the CNS squad this fall, but instantly became its top front-line player. On this night, Irish decimated the Red Hawks in many ways, earning 16 kills and three aces, including a timely ace that closed out a 25-20 opening game. “He’s very aggressive,” said Lucio. “He goes after the ball, knows the game and has great

With Irish, Werksman (five kills), Colin Crooks (six kills) and Tyler A. Smith (nine kills, four assists) patrolling the front line, CNS, following its win in the opening game, led most of the second game and took that one 25-18. The Northstars and Red Hawks went back and forth in the third game early on, but at 12-11 CNS took the lead for good and didn’t stop until Crooks, with one last kill, closed out the match 25-17.

CNS then played Section IV champion Horseheads Saturday in the regional finals at Elmira College, and with its usual combination of power and precision, the Northstars swept the Blue Raiders in three games and earned its ticket back home. Much like the sectional final, CNS wasted little time establishing control. It won the first game by a comfortable 25-17 margin, then blitzed through the second game 25-12 as Horseheads simply could not keep up. Though the Blue Raiders put up a bigger fight in the third game, the Northstars still won, 25-18, to complete the sweep.

CNS, Liverpool to clash in Carrier Dome Dec. 12 By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Apparently, the longstanding boys basketball rivalry between CiceroNorth Syracuse and Liverpool was just too small for conventional gymnasiums to hold.

When the defending Section III Class AA champion Northstars and Warriors collide on Dec. 12, they will do so in the Carrier Dome as part of the first-ever showcase of Section III high school talent in the Dome’s 30-year history. It’s all part of the inau-

gural Scholastic Holiday Tip-Off Classic, a day-long celebration of basketball that features four games and a good portion of the area’s best players. The CNS-Liverpool showdown is at 7 p.m., the last of the four games. It starts at 1 p.m. with Ska-

neateles playing Bishop Ludden, continues with CBA facing Fowler and includes three-time defending state Class A champion Jamesville-DeWitt meeting Elmira Southside. This reconnects Syracuse University with the local high-school scene.

Up until 2009, the Section III championships were always staged at Manley Field House, but that ended after Manley was refurbished into SU’s football indoor practice facility. Both the Northstars, with Zach Coleman, Josh Williams and Elliott Boyce,

and the Warriors, with Connor Rogers on hand, return key players from 2009-10, only adding to the anticipation. This is a nonleague game – the league game won’t take place until Feb. 18, the regular-season finale at Liverpool.

Liverpool volleyball drops sectional final to B’ville Buchanan wins state XC championship By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com It was left to Liverpool’s girls volleyball team to try and complete the improbable task of upending the Baldwinsville machine in last Wednesday night’s Section III Class AA championship match at CiceroNorth Syracuse. Try as it could, though, the Warriors could not stop the Bees, falling in three games as B’ville won its third consecutive sectional title. Aside from trying to win it all, Liverpool had a smaller goal in mind – namely, keep the Bees from running through its entire schedule without losing a single game to a local opponent. Back on Oct. 18, the Warriors had come close in the second game, but lost 27-25. Since then, Liverpool’s confidence had increased, thanks to impressive sweeps of Corcoran and CNS in the sectional playoffs. Still, B’ville proved too good.

In the first game, the Warriors forged an early 4-4 tie, but the Bees won eight of the next nine points, went in front for good and prevailed 25-14. Liverpool’s best moment came in the second game, when it used five straight points on Anna Daucher’s served to take a 6-3 lead. B’ville promptly countered by winning the next seven points and, after the Warriors closed within 14-11, pulled clear again in a 25-18 decision. Again in the third game, Liverpool started even, 4-4. And again, B’ville took over, finishing things off in a 25-13 decision as it advanced to the state playoffs once more. Liverpool finished with a record of 13-6. Head coach Kathy Gedney will see seven seniors depart, including Daucher, Jenna Street, Paige Calabrese, Brooke Holland, Emily LaFave, Chelsey Fodaro and Sarah Milligan. But several key players, including Dorothy Rosekrans, Katie Rowell and Cassi McCrum, come back for 2011.

By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com A race covering 5,000 meters - more than three miles - came down to less than a second. And by winning that race, Cicero-North Syracuse senior Chris Buchanan is the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class AA champion after his work on a sunny, warm Saturday morning at Lakeside Park in Pawling, east of Poughkeepsie. Buchanan caught a big break when Baldwinsville’s Shaun Thompson, who won the Section III Class AA race a week ago, lost a shoe early in the race. Thompson would fight back into contention, but would not quite catch Buchanan and Saratoga Springs’ Sam Place, who would stay close to each other all the way to the wire. Holding on just long enough, Buchanan finished in 15 minutes, 55.9 seconds, beating Place (15:56.7) by a mere eight-tenths of a

second to earn the championship medal. Earlier that morning, CNS freshman Maria LaMontagne had her own strong showing in the girls Class AA championship race as the top individual outside the juggernaut of Fayetteville-Manlius, who earned its fifth consecutive state title. LaMontagne could not quite keep up with the Hornets’ tandem of Christie Rutledge (who won in 17:31 flat) and Jillian Fanning (who was second in 17:46.1), but she held off a fellow ninth-grader, West Genesee’s Laura Leff, to claim third place in a time of 17:56.9 as Leff got fourth place in 17:59.2. Not too far back, CNS sophomore Nicole Watterud had a fine race, too, earning 26th place in a clocking of 19:21.6. Liverpool sophomore Ashley Letteney made an impressive state meet debut as she covered the Lakeside Park course in 19:47.6 to finish 45th. Many of these same runners will go to Bowdoin Park, in Wappingers Falls, next Saturday for the state Federation championships.
