By Caitlin Donnelly cdonnelly@cnylink.com By day, Lawton Valley Hunt is like any other neighborhood in the town of Clay during the holiday season. By night, however, Harriet Fisher Drive is transformed into a front row seat to Steve Scicchitano’s front yard holiday light show. For the fourth year in a row, Scicchitano has created a sequenced light show set to the music of
four holiday classics that one can watch from the comfort of his or her car. T h e l i g ht s a re s e quenced to the music— Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song, Amazing Grace, and a song by the TransSiberian Orchestra—using the computer software system Light-O-Rama. Scicchitano uses 64 different “channels,� or 64 ways the lights can be turned on and off to the
beats and lyrics of the music. The songs are broadcast over an FCC-approved low frequency transmitter set up in Scicchitano’s garage. Passerby’s can tune in to 107.3 in their cars to hear the Christmas tunes, much like Onondaga Lake Park’s Wegmans Lights on the Lake. The entire show, including the songs and two brief introductions, lasts about ten minutes. It takes Scicchitano, his daughters Emily, 11,
caitlin Donnelly
and Maria, 6, and his wife Debbie about three months to sequence the show, set up the decorations, and string up all the extension cords before the start of the holiday season. During the month and a half that the show runs, Scicchitano said he surprisingly only pays an extra $50 in his electric bill. He attributes this to the fact that all the

Brainstorm in a snowstorm is a Blaster By Caitlin Donnelly cdonnelly@cnylink.com
With the marathon snowfall over the past few weeks, it’s natural that a new shovel would make its way to the market this winter.
The product: the Sidewalk Blaster, invented by Rich Settembre of Liverpool. This 8 pound, 3- to 4foot-long metal shovel uses the momentum from pushing and pulling to remove snow, rather than the usual
lifting and throwing. “I’m trying to change the traditional way of thinking about shoveling because people automatically think of lifting,� Settembre said. The idea for this new breed of shovel came to
Settembre in March 2010 as he was trying to clear snow off the roof of his home without getting close to the edge. He went into his

Onondaga C ounty Sheriff Kevin E. Walsh reported that the Onondaga County District Attorney, William Fitzpatrick, will present the Megabus crash details to a Grand Jury in early 2011. During a press conference on Dec. 17, Fitzpatrick announced that a Grand Jury will decide if the driver of the Sept. 11 Megabus crash, John Tomaszewski, 59, of New Jersey, will face charges to include criminal neglect homicide, a Class E felony. Fitzpatrick said that a Grand Jury will also determine if CSX, the owner of the railroad bridge, will face similar charges. At approximately 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, sheriff ’s deputies responded to Onondaga L ake Parkway at the CSX Railroad Bridge in regards to a double-decker Megabus that collided with the railroad bridge. The driver of the Megabus was in route to Toronto, Ontario from Philadelphia, Penn. and was scheduled to stop at the Regional Transportation Center in Syracuse. After exiting Route 81 North, the bus headed north onto Onondaga Lake Parkway. Despite numerous warning signs regarding the 10’ 9� bridge—some of which were flashing yellow—and the red reflective tape covering the bottom portion of the bridge, the bus, roughly 13 feet high, continued north on the 55 mph

Community News The Spirit of Giving at NOPL Despite the financial belttightening we’re all doing, The Northern Onondaga Public Libraries in Brewerton, Cicero, and North Syracuse have witnessed a record amount of donations pouring in to our Toys for Tots boxes and our mitten tree. Given that this is already a difficult year for most, the donations express a special kind of generosity, a generosity that gives out of need. Among the items donated were a collection of handmade plush toys contributed anonymously to NOPL at Cicero, and 140 pairs of hand knit mittens made and donated by Raelene Metko in Brewerton. Her husband Clem helped her string them onto the mitten tree at NOPL at Brewerton, a garland of mittens that was far longer than the mitten tree could support.  Mother Teresa observed that the needy are often given only those things which no longer have value to an owner. Her position held that when giving is convenient, it’s not really giving. She

Clem and Raelene Metko stand next to an overflowing mitten tree at NOPL at Brewerton. Raelene completed 140 pairs of mittens to donate to those in need this winter. She knitted them while watching her favorite sports on television. might have argued that most of our donations to Goodwill can have very little to do with good will—the flow of service may even travel in the opposite direction, with the poor rendering a recycling service to their wealthier peers. The donations of new toys and handmade items however, exhibit a generosity that is truly exceptional and complies fully with Mother Teresa’s preferred style of giving. “I ask one thing� she said, “do not give your leftovers.
Give until it hurts, until you feel the pain� (Mother Teresa, In My Own Words, 1996). The sacrifice of time, energy, and money--all extremely rare resources these days, not leftovers at all—was tangible, and everyone at NOPL was touched to be part of such a caring community. So take heart: you are among good people and the spirit of giving is alive and well. Happy holidays from all of us at Northern Onondaga Public Library.

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

Willow Field sixth-grader stars in ‘A Christmas Story’ Willow Field Elementary sixth-grader Nicholas Deapo is one of the Liverpool Central School District’s most multi-talented students. The 11-year-old plays violin, piano and percussion and sings in the 2010 All-District Chorus. Deapo not only plays music, he also writes it. Four years ago he won the “Hey Mozart” Young Composer Competition sponsored by Hartwick College. Five years ago he played Tiny Tim in Syracuse Stage’s production of “A Christmas Carol.” This year he’s starring as Ralphie Parker in Syracuse Stage’s version of “A Christmas Story” based on the 1983 film of the same name which is in turn based on a memoir by the late Jean Shepherd. We all know Ralphie – he’s the kid who wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas, but everybody tells him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!” The stage play features seven area youngsters in various roles including a talented Baldwinsville gal, 10-year-old Sara Goodwin as Esther Jane, and 11-yearold Madison Gregory from North Syracuse’s Roxboro Road Middle School as Helen.
Liverpool lad Jamaal Wade, a 12-year-old who attends Chestnut Hill Middle School, fills in as an understudy for three roles, Flick, Schwartz and Farkus. Wade and his fellow understudies take their turn on center stage on Wednesday, Dec. 29, at the 7:30 p.m. performance. Deapo drawing applause Meanwhile, Deapo continues drawing applause and laughter from his downtown audiences. His theatrical asides are particularly priceless, as in the fantasy scene when an older Ralphie returns home blinded by soap poisoning, and the kitchen scene in which his crocodile tears win him a reprieve from punishment. Did I mention that Nick Deapo is a young man of many talents? Besides performing on the bandstand and the stage, he’s an insatiable reader and movie-goer and a dedicated student of American history. “A Christmas Story” continues at Syracuse Stage, 820 E. Genesee St., at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 23, 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 26-27, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 29 and closes at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 30. Ticket prices
cost between $16 and $48; 443-3275. Neri running for judgeship Former Liverpool Police Chief Gerry Neri has announced that he’ll run for State Supreme Court this fall. Since resigning as police chief here in 1996, Neri – a Republican who earned his law degree in 1990 – now works as special counsel of the Fifth Judicial District and court attorney referee at the Onondaga County Courthouse, down city. He’ll run for the bench in the Fifth Judicial District which covers six counties – Onondaga, Oneida, Oswego, Herkimer, Jefferson and Lewis counties. State Supreme Courts generally rule on civil cases involving claims of $25,000 or more. Cassidy hosting baseball camp After retiring from
Major League Baseball in 2008, pitcher Scott Cassidy accepted the head coaching position this year at Le Moyne College, his alma mater. Next week the coach, who lives in Liverpool, will conduct a three-day baseball camp for aspiring ballplayers. The Scott Cassidy Baseball Camps at Le Moyne College begin Sunday, Dec. 26 with infield and outfield play, continue Monday, Dec. 27, with hitting and conclude Tuesday, Dec. 28, with pitching and catching. “This clinic is designed for any age player who is interested in further developing their skills during the winter months,” the coach said. The camp will take place at the Le Moyne College Athletic Center and Recreation Center. For info, visit cassidybaseball.com/. Cassidy, 35, graduated from Liverpool High School in 1993, after playing four seasons of baseball as an outfielder and pitcher. The right-hander excelled as a starter for Le Moyne before beginning his professional career pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers.
The everlasting impact of Lee Turner If you’ve been fortunate enough during the past thirty years to have attended a school where Lee Turner taught music, the chances are that he serenaded you and your fellow students with his trumpet upon your morning arrival. It’s a terrific way to start off the day – stirring music from Turner, a well- respected instrumental teacher, currently teaching at Gillette Road Middle School. Great teachers impact eternity through the tremendous influence they have on their students. That was borne out again this week when one of Turner’s former students, Dave Bills, contacted him after seeing Turner on television a few weeks ago when he was interviewed relative to the closing of the North Syra-
cuse Post Office. Bills, a 1983 graduate of the former North Syracuse High School, is school superintendent in Honeoye Falls. Prior to becoming a school administrator, Bills, like Lee Turner, was a high school instrumental music teacher. Bills lives in Farmington, just outside Canandaigua, with his wife and four children, ages 18, 15, 11, and 9. In his message, Bills told Turner that he references him often, even to this day. As the people around me know all too well; I have a similar habit. You never forget the teachers and administrators who positively influenced you at an early age. To his credit, Bills shared with Turner the following story that he occasionally relates to others:
“I had this teacher when I was in high school. He was my instrumental music teacher. He would frequently show me new scores or the latest recordings of various known pieces or Avant-garde and recently composed music. He was always interested in furthering his students’ repertoire and knowledge of genre. Being the conscientious student that I was, I would dutifully respond in some music-appropriate way. I’ll never forget once when I finished listening to the recording that he was
playing from the speakers in his brief case, I decided that I didn’t like the piece he was playing. To my surprise, his response was very typical of when I favored the music; he respected the opinion and asked for follow-up evidence. He was more interested in me supporting my thoughts and having conviction with my opinions. I now know this as analysis and evaluation beyond simple knowledgelevel thinking.” Turner was teaching higher level thinking skills – analysis and evaluation, making his students defend their opinions in a logical and analytical manner. He still does, thankfully for all the students who, like Dave Bills, have been influenced by Lee Turner these many years.
From the mailbag 2011 to make or break Brewerton
To the editor: Because of many months of negligence on the part of the Cicero Town Board, 2011 is
shaping up to be Brewerton’s make or break year. Thanks to the current town administration’s inattentiveness, the future of Brewerton, one of the oldest and most historically significant communities in CNY, hangs in
the balance. Brewerton has a very rich history. It was the site of an Onondaga Nation fishing village, French explorer Samuel de Champlain visited the area in the seventeenth century, it was a strategic
site during the French and Indian War, it was an important stop on the state’s canal system and it was an immensely popular Oneida Lake

Opinion School bond issues exposed This article is the second in a series designed to provide readers with criteria they may wish to consider when examining school funding issues. The series includes the topics of school construction and renovation, school employee costs, technology, and school budgets.
School Facilities School construction and renovation issues typically attract much taxpayer attention. It is very common for such projects to have considerable price tags associated with them and “sticker shock” can result. New York State has its own unique way of handling school construction and renovation funding. Because there exists such an enormous range of “have” and “have not” school districts in New York, the state government has determined that it needs a mechanism to level the playing field across the state so that all New York children have acceptable school facilities to attend. Without such a mechanism, districts with large tax bases could erect magnificent school buildings with very little tax effort, while poorer districts would have to im-
pose huge tax rates for even meager school bond projects. In an attempt to alleviate this problem, the state subsidizes school construction and renovation projects based on a wealth ratio; poor schools get more state aid for facility projects, rich school districts get less. The type of capital project affects the rate of state rebate. For some types of construction or renovation (e.g. classroom space) the state funds the project at much higher rates than others (e.g. administrative offices). The maximum state rebate rate in Liverpool is 86.2%. This means that, for a $1 million school construction or renovation project, the state pays $862,000 and the local (property) taxpayers pay $138,000. While the state pays for the lion’s share of school projects in Liverpool (of course, these are also tax dollars), the local citizen should pay close attention to these projects and employ discretion in the ultimate decision to support them with their vote or not. Below are some suggestions one may want to consider when reviewing a school bond issue:
3 School buildings should be functional. Communities may want to have the “latest and greatest” in their school architecture. This, to me, seems like an option for the community to consider. While beautiful and majestic school buildings are very nice, the community may believe them to be beyond their budgets. School buildings should be “nice” but not necessarily opulent. 3 While “stature” of a school is optional, functionality is not. All school buildings have to be well-maintained, a pleasant place for children to learn, and sufficiently designed and equipped to provide quality instruction. School buildings that are not properly designed or maintained contribute considerably to dysfunctionality both instructionally and in facility management. 3 A huge effort was placed into school construction in the “baby boom” era (1950’s and 60’s). A huge portion of the school buildings now in use across America are this vintage. These buildings currently
find themselves with a lot of “life” left in them but typically with major internal needs (e.g. HVAC, room remodeling, security and monitoring systems) as well as “envelope” problems (e.g. roofs, doors, windows) needs. Often attention to these kinds of building needs will save the taxpayers significant dollars in their school district’s general fund (particularly in maintenance and energy costs). 3 The American baby boom is over. American families, on the average, are shrinking. Most New York school districts are experiencing a slow, but relentless, decrease in enrollment. School districts across the state are finding that they have historically provided enough school buildings for “high tide” and the enrollment tide has now gone out. Present bond issues must demonstrate to the taxpayer that careful consideration has been provided in the study
of enrollment trends and projections. 3 Education today is quite different from past generations. Straight rows of student desks have been replaced with team tables and learning modules. When I first became a superintendent the only computer to which my district had access was 100 miles away and required an entire building and several staff; we literally ran punch cards back and forth for input. Today, systems exist that fit into a child’s hand that are many times more powerful than those of yester-year that were accessible to only an elite few. When voting on a school project, the taxpayer must make sure that the capital project in question is preparing the child for the life he or she will have in tomorrow’s world, not yesterday’s. 3 Districts must protect their flexibility. While enrollment decreases would warrant close regard for operating buildings far below maximum capacity, districts should not “cut themselves short” with too little operating space. Significant alterations in how children are educated often are ac-
companied by increased space needs. Contemporary education will demand more and more collaboration among education entities. These new partnerships will create new opportunities for children. Districts need to retain their ability for metamorphosis and not shrink their facility capacity with no consideration to the future. The criteria above are suggested to determine a position on a proposed school bond issue. There is no substitute for each person having a firm grasp of what is being voted on in a school capital election. In Liverpool, the process of reviewing a capital proposal is a very methodical one. Students need the best education we can provide for them. The school buildings’ condition and capacity figure considerably into our educational mission. It has been recommended that the Liverpool Central School District should consider a series of capital improvement bond issues during the decade. I encourage each community member to become actively engaged in the conversation about how to best address these needs.
Putting it into perspective
Great Northern Mall, where I waited, eh hem, patiently, at Verizon to replace my shattered device. After the unexpected and costly transaction, we made our way through the crowded parking lot, back to the car and drove home. On the way, my disgruntled conversation with Elaine must have gotten the best of my baby nephew, who was secure in his car seat, silently absorbing the swift change in mood. “Tata?” (that’s what he calls me).
“Yeah, Greg?” “You shouldn’t be mad,” he told me. “You are loved.” Wow. He said it, with all the wisdom of a 4-year-old boy. My sister and I looked at each other, each feeling the about the size of a small child – but without the big words. He put Christmas – what it really is meant to be – back into our hearts and minds. Why do we make things so complicated during what is supposed to be the most joyous time of year? Greg’s reminder made me realize just how simple it can be to find happiness. All the pressure, tight schedules and material gifts aside, the basic meaning of Christmas comes down to what matters most. “You are loved.”
CARDIAC REHABILITATION
How important is cardiac rehabilitation? It can reduce the risk of premature death among hospitalized heart patients by more than 20 percent. However, only about 12 percent of Medicare patients who are hospitalized for a heart condition or who undergo angioplasty or bypass surgery avail themselves of a cardiac rehabilitation program. Women are less likely to get cardiac rehab than men, and patients with the greatest likelihood of deriving benefit from cardiac rehab (such as older individuals and those with diabetes or a prior history of stroke) might be less likely to be referred to rehab. With all these factors in mind, heart patients emerging from surgery are encouraged to ask for a referral
to a cardiac rehabilitation program. People of all ages can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation. The lifestyle changes made during rehabilitation have few risks and can improve your overall health and prevent future heart problems and even death. The cardiac rehab team may include doctors, nurses, exercise specialists, physical and occupational therapists, dieticians or nutritionists, and psychologists or other mental health specialists. To schedule an appointment for physical therapy, please call 315-476-3176. We are located at 207 Pine Street in Syracuse. Happy Holidays! P.S. A cardiac rehabilitation program should include a thorough initial evaluation, a supervised exercise program, and nutrition counseling.

About four years ago, I wrote about how my nephew, then age 4, taught me a huge lesson during the holiday season. I came across the column last week and decided to tell the story again. It’s a good reminder as we rush through these last two weeks of juggling sundry tasks to make Christmas, well, Christmas. One night, my sister and I were shopping from store to store, crossing off items from our lists of “necessities.” We had my nephew Greg with us, and we were in Target on Route 31 in Clay. As I passed my cell phone to my sister, it dropped to the floor, in pieces. I wasn’t happy. Inevitably, our spree stopped short and we were back at the

Celebrate New Year 2011
Plans are underway for our annual Dollars for Scholars Phone-a-thon, when Liverpool High School students will call Liverpool School District residents, family members, and friends to gather pledges for scholarships to be awarded to graduating LHS seniors in June 2011. The more money we raise, the more scholarships can be awarded and the closer we get to our goal of a scholarship for every college bound senior.
There will be an informational meeting for seniors during Academic Advisement sometime in February. Dollars for Scholars board members, Liverpool High School personnel, and recent graduates will talk about Dollars For Scholars, the Phonea-thon, and the scholarship application process. Student volunteers will be recruited to participate in the Phone-a-thon, which will be held in the LHS cafeteria on Sundays March 6 and 13, 2011. The Phonea-thon is a wonderful opportunity for students to
provide a community service and have fun working together for a worthwhile cause. Volunteers are treated to supper and a training session before they begin making phone calls. Students in grades 9, 10, and 11 will also be encouraged to participate. Dollars for Scholars board member Matt Hinkey will chair the Phone-athon, with lots of assistance from other active board members who continue to work hard to raise money for LHS graduating seniors. The Phone-a-thon is our biggest fundraiser and we
look forward to another successful year. During these difficult economic times, we are more grateful than ever for the generous support from individuals and businesses in our community. When money is tight, the Dollars for Scholars scholarships make an even bigger difference in the lives of the Liverpool High School graduating seniors who receive them. The board continues to appreciate the support of the entire Liverpool community as we work together for the higher education of our LHS graduates.

North Syracuse BOE lists uncollected tax percentage LHS Senior of the Week By Caitlin Donnelly cdonnelly@cnylink.com The North Syracuse Central School District Board of Education met in the Cicero-North Syracuse High School Auditorium for the year-end meeting on Monday Dec. 20. During the meeting, the Board discussed the amendment to the district’s Flag Display policy as well as co-curricular advisor positions at Roxboro Road Middle School, listened to the tax collector’s final reports, and acknowledged outstanding students. As part of the district’s flag display policy, the flags outside the schools are flown at half-staff in the event of “the death of a
former or present employee, staff member or Board of Education member� under the direction of the superintendent. This was not stated in the original policy, and was amended and readopted during the Dec. 20 meeting. The board also discussed the fate of two co-curricular advisor positions at Roxboro Road Middle School. After the retirement of the Yorker’s Club and Lifesavers Club advisors, no one applied to fill the positions, so the board decided to abolish these two jobs and create two general service positions which would be filled by advisors of a proposed new Fitness Club effective Dec. 21. The new advisors have not yet been
named. During the meeting, David Allard, director of business operations and treasurer noted that the district’s tax collector’s final reports were complete, and that this year’s percentage of uncollected taxes in the towns of Cicero, Salina and Clay is up from last year’s percentage despite the current economic hard times. Last year, the percentage of uncollected taxes was 6.13 percent. For the year 2010/2011, the percentage is 6.15 percent, which totals $3,479,740.82. This listing will be forwarded to the Onondaga County Treasurer for reimbursement. Finally, the Board also took time to recognize the
Fall 2010 Scholar Athletes at Cicero-North Syracuse High School, as well as four outstanding students that earned perfect scores on the 2010 Grade 4 NYS Elementary-Level Science Test. These students were recognized during a presentation by the Director of Science John Rice. The students include Natalie Ackerman and Julia Digiulio from Smith Road Elementary, James Harte from Cicero Elementary and Michael Middleton from Lakeshore Road Elementary. The next Board of Education meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday Jan. 3, 2011 at the Administrative offices, 5355 W. Taft Road in North Syracuse.

a chance to get back at—and beat—the snow.” “The Rink Blaster has a 3foot blade with a 6-foot handle that lets ice rink workers remove snow left from the Zamboni while standing off of the ice, eliminating needs for squeegees, and preventing slips and falls on the ice,” saidSettembre. The Roof Blaster has a 4foot blade with a 6- or 8-foot handle that allows an individual to push heavy snow off the roof at a safe distance— often 8 to 10 feet—away from the edge, minimizing the risk of falls, he said. Finally, the Sidewalk Blaster has a 3-foot blade with a 4-foot handle that, unlike traditional shovels, won’t get stuck in cracks in the sidewalk, is quiet with no scraping sounds on the pavement due to rubber edge, allows for a smooth process with no heavy lifting, and it is the first shovel that can be pulled. “Safety and speed are the main concern for many of the contractors involved in snow removal,” said Settembre. “So my idea was that when you buy this product, you get the safety free.” The fiberglass handle, the steel blade, and all the other shovel materials are produced in the United States, and Settembre assembles the shovels in his basement. So far, he has made 30 shovels by hand, all of which have been sold. Prices range from $256 for a three-foot shovel blade to $274 for four-foot blade. Customers include Bald-

In addition to the Sidewalk Blaster, Rich has a few other inventions lined up that he would like to work on through his company, Way Cool Product Co., including an alarm clock that helps those with seasonal affective disorder, and a bio-diesel and electric hybrid vehicle. When people make comments about his inventions and “thinking outside the box,” Rich tells them, “Well, in my universe, there are no boxes.” While Some days he finds it very hard to run his business and has his moments of doubt, overall, he said he would give the overall experience a nine out of ten. “My goal is to be a million-

Hamilton brothers lead CNS hockey past Hamilton By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com When the snow wasn’t flying, the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool ice hockey teams tried to get into the win column. And the Northstars proved successful on Friday night, going to Colgate University’s Starr Rink and registering a 6-1 victory over Hamilton, one of the Division I newcomers. Much of the show belonged to the Hamilton brothers, as they helped CNS break a 1-1 tie with four unanswered goals in the second period. All told, Brian Hamilton finished with four goals and two assists. Time after time, those passes came from Eric
Hamilton, who had four assists to go with her lone goal. Matt Flume had the other tally, with Jake Farabee adding two assists and Joe Gracz also getting an assist. Nick Hall played in goal, stopping 21 of the 22 shots he faced. Liverpool, meanwhile, lost twice. It could not get on the board in last Tuesday’s game against Ontario Bay at State Fair Coliseum, taking a 3-0 loss to the Storm. It was close most of the way, Ontario Bay (one of the many Division I newcomers this season) only leading 1-0 until the third period, when it added two more goals. Joe Cicciarelli, in defeat, stopped 28 of the 31 shots she faced. Cal Longley led the Storm
with two goals as teammate Ben Englebrecht had the other tally. Then the Warriors fell to Utica Proctor 6-2 on Friday night at Utica Memorial Auditorium, watching t he R aiders erase Liverpool’s 1-0 lead in t he s e cond p er io d by getting five straight goals. Alex Bittel got both of the Warriors’ goals, with Kody Gaulke adding an assist. Ciciarelli, under constant attack, managed 48 saves, but Proctor broke through as Faruk Lidan and Mickey Militano led them with two goals apiece. This led to a showdown between Liverpool and CNS Tuesday night at the Twin Rinks, with the Northstars also hosting Solvay Thursday night.
Liverpool edges CNS for Invitational title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com For the second time in as many weeks, the Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse girls indoor track and field teams battled for top honors. And just like the first time, the Warriors came out on top, taking last Saturday’s John Arcaro Memorial Invitational with 63 points to the Northtstars’ total of 59 points. Jamesville-DeWitt was third with 40 points in an event where two athletes on each team combined times, distances and heights. Liverpool piled up points in field events, including the shot put, where Tatiana Gladney and Kyrra Emanuel had total throws of 58 feet 7 ½ inches, nearly two feet better than Skaneateles. Shae Shenandoah and Breanna Burns were second in the pole vault (14 feet), with Meagan Turner and Tammy Brodie second in the high jump as they cleared 9 feet 6 inches between them. CNS was fifth (9 feet). Brodie and Shanice Leach were fourth in the long jump (25 feet 9 ½ inches) as Armani Moore and Megan Earle took fourth in the triple jump (59 feet 5 ¼ inches), just behind the CNS tandem of Katie Osborne and Laura Tolbert in third (60 feet 2 ¼ inches).
Moore and Hannah Anthes pushed the Warriors to the top spot in the 55-meter dash, edging Tully, 16.13 seconds to 16.17, as CNS tied for third with 16.30 seconds. The Warriors also were fifth in the 300-meter dash (1:35.49). CNS did prevail in the 55-meter high hurdles, where Jessica Wheeler and Justine Seliger had a combined time of 19.88 seconds, well clear of Baldwinvsille (20.48 seconds) as Liverpool, with 21.48 seconds, finished fifth. Also, in the 600-meter run, Marissa Colburn won the individual event in 1:46.12 as she and Nicole Campagna (third in 1:48.16) took the top spot in 3:34.28, more than 10 seconds ahead of the field. In the 3,000-meter run, Maria LaMontagne, with her top time of 10:06.87, combined with Bori Toszer to win in 21:00.42 as Liverpool’s Ashley Letteney and Rachel Putman was second in 21:55.53. Katie Laris and Dana RInaldi were third in the 1,500-meter run in 11:03.85. Neither CNS nor Liverpool proved as successful in the boys Arcaro meet, as the Northstars took fifth place with 33 points, edging the Warriors (31.5 points) in sixth place as Baldwinsville won with 51.5 points. CNS’s Mike Hyde won the individual pole vault,

clearing 11 feet 6 inches with fewer misses than Marcelllus’ Nick Huss, as Hyde and Joel Brousseau tied for second in the high jump with combined leaps of 11 feet, just behind Corcoran, who won with 11 feet 2 inches. Liverpool (10 feet 10 inches) shared fourth place. Chris Buchanan raced to the top spot in the individual 1,000-meter run in 2:36.86, as Jared Walther took third and the Northstars prevailed in 5:22.56 over B’ville (5:31.59), with Liverpool in fifth. Also for the Northstars, Alex Bottorff and Derek Heiser took second in the 600-meter run in 3:07.15, with the Warriors’ Kameron Arnold and Joe Spernyak third in 3:07.73. The same thing happened in the mile, with CNS’s Anthony Lupia and Ken Ryan second (9:34.54) behind Marcellus (9:33.33) as Liverpool’s Zavon Watkins won the individual race, edging the Mustangs’ Ryan Manahan, 4:38.29 to 4:38.49. Watkins and Anthony Ostuni were third in 9:38.77 Justin McGriff and Ryan Ronk gave Liverpool a win in the triple jump, going 72 feet 5 ½ inches to beat JamesvilleDeWitt by more than a foot. The Warriors also took fifth in the shot put (73 feet) and 55 hurdles, and were sixth in the 300.
Liverpool girls take second at Central Square tourney By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com As many other high school winter sports teams in Central New York saw games and practices get wiped out amid the record December snowfall, the Liverpool girls basketball team did not sweat it too much. The Warriors did not see any games postponed, its opener not taking place until Friday, when it met Christian Brothers Academy in the opening round of Central Square’s Traci Zimmer Memorial Tournament, a benefit for Coaches vs. Cancer. But Liverpool did not suffer too much for waiting, as it beat the Brothers 52-46 to reach the championship round, where it fell to Fayetteville-Manlius 49-39. Liverpool, under coach Mike Olley, went 10-9 a season ago, losing to Corcoran in the Section III Class AA quarterfinals. But it returns most of its lineup, including Nicole Ciricillo, Ally Zywicki and Nina Tassone, for 2010-11, believing it can rise up and be a serious challenger to two-time defending champion Cicero-North Syracuse. Those veterans gave the Warriors a slight edge over CBA, which had seen its all-time leading scorer, Leanne Ockenden, graduate (she’s now at Marist), along with Michelle D’Amico and Victoria Johnson. Still, Liverpool trailed,
15-14, through one period, before picking up defensive pressure in the second period – which translated to baskets on the other end and a 30-26 halftime edge. CBA closed in during the third quarter, then remained right at the Warriors’ heels behind the work of Marisa Romeo (15 points) and Ellen Voorheis (13 points) as the game went down to the final minutes. Then Ciricillo struck the biggest blow, draining a 3-pointer with barely two minutes to play. All CBA could manage was one more field goal the rest of the way as the Warriors used free throws to seal the win. Overall, Ciricillo had 21 points, while Zywicki and Tassone each got 11 points. Each of them hit on three 3-pointers to help Liverpool prevail. A day later, the Warriors ran into F-M, who was already 3-0 and had handled host Central Square 60-38 in the other half of the opening round. Liverpool dashed out to a 12-10 lead, but in the second quarter F-M bounced back with a huge surge, gaining a 28-24 lead at halftime. Still, the real turning point came in the third quarter, where F-M’s crisp passes led to many easy shots and lay-ups while, at the same time, its defense held Liverpool to only seven points. Now ahead, 43-31, going to the fourth quarter,
the Hornets saw Liverpool try to fight back as it got within nine points a couple of times, but could not get any closer. No Warrior player scored in double figure, as Ciricillo had nine points, Zywicki seven points and Tassone and Sydney Chalifoux six points apiece. F-M forward Kiley Shoemaker led both sides with 17 points and Ali Pliszka added 14 points. Before all this, Liverpool’s boys basketball team slipped to 0-2, the result of Thursday night’s 65-45 defeat to Utica Proctor in its home opener. Five days (and two snowed-out practices) removed from its Dec. 12 loss to Cicero-North Syracuse in the Carrier Dome, the Warriors now had to confront a Proctor team with 10 players back from a run to last year’s sectional AA final. Though playing in its first game of the season, the Raiders still cracked down on defense, rarely giving Liverpool any space to maneuver as it fell behind 3319 by halftime. The margin grew to 53-31 before the Warriors made a belated push. Adam Misener led with 14 points, with Ian Hamm adding 12 points and Ben Peet producing eight points. Proctor’s T’Andre Richardson, who also had 14 points, led a balanced attack where five of his teammates had between six and nine points.
Liverpool, CNS bowlers earn wins By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com High scores marked a terrific boys bowling match between Liverpool and Oswego last Tuesday afternoon, but it was the Warriors coming out on top over the Buccaneers in a 2-1 decision. Improving to 2-0 on the season, Liverpool saw Travis Tucker earn a 712 series with a high game of 257. Tony Hamlin shot a 245 game during his 645 set, while Rick Boullosa gained a 619 series (225 high game)
and Alex DiGenaro shot a 236 during his 599 series. In defeat, Oswego impressed as Cameron Byrne shot a three-game total of 690 (241 series), Matt Clemons earned a 676 series (249 high game) and Zach DelBrocco added a 628 set. Liverpool’s girls team beat Oswego by that same 2-1 margin. Mary Townley, not long after she notched a 300 game in youth competition at Flamingo Bowl, had a 190 high game and 474 series here. Ruth Feliciano (378 series) and Lauren Bo-
simenu (365 series) helped out. On Friday, Cicero-North Syracuse returned to action, splitting with Central Square. The girls Northstars beat the Red Hawks 3-0 as Becca Olivadoti shot a 648 series with a 239 high game. Jena Tafei added a 513 set. Meanwhile, the boys Northstars lost to Central Square 2-1, as Jake Patterson led CNS by posting a three-game total of 616. Anthony Mazzye, with a 686 series (246 high game), led the Red Hawks along.

lights are rarely on at the same time. Despite the numerous cars that drive slowly through the neighborhood and cluster in front of his home, Scicchitano said he has had no issues with his neighbors so far, and that “the community has really adopted the show.� “About twenty to forty cars stop outside t he house to watch the show each night,� said Scicchitano. “During the week of Christmas, we expect even more than that.� Clark Darby, of North

Syracuse, brought his grandchildren to see the light show on Dec. 17. “It’s awesome!� his grandchildren yelled from the backseat. Their favorite song: Alvin and the Chipmunk’s Christmas Song. Ken Briggs and Michelle Fitzsimmons, of Clay, live around the corner from the Scicchitano’s and also stopped by Harriet Fisher Drive to catch the light show. “This is the third time we’ve been here already,� Briggs said. “It’s really neat.� “Each year we expand with new decorations or
new sequences, so it gets better and better each year,� Scicchitano said. “This year, the newest addition to the show is Santa’s Workshop. People have been getting a kick out of it, so it’s great.� The light show officially ends Jan.1, so stop by Scicchitano’s front yard at 5211 Harriet Fisher Drive in Clay during the peak of this holiday season. The sequenced light shows run continuously from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Great Northern Mall hosted the “Tear it Up for Charity & Get Gifted� event on Friday Dec. 17. During the event, representatives from the Salvation Army, Rescue Mission and The Food Bank of CNY unwrapped presents with gift cards inside to be used by the charities. Pictured, from left to right, are Major David Champlin, area coordinator for the Salvation Army; Chaz Parker, executive director of the Rescue Mission; and Thomas Slater, executive director of The Food Bank of CNY.  At the conclusion of the event, The Food Bank of CNY and the Salvation Army unwrapped $600 in gift cards each, and the Rescue Mission unwrapped $900 in gift cards.

recreation destination. Restaurants, shops, hotels, excursion boats, docks and other recreational facilities once dotted the shoreline. Several years ago Brewerton residents and business owners began to think about restoring their community to its glory days. I and other town officials joined the effort and sought state and federal support for the project. This truly was a community-based and bi-partisan effort. In the summer of 2008, Sen. Charles Schumer and state Sen. David Valesky came to Brewerton and delivered nearly $1 million in seed money to improve Brewerton’s streetscape, infrastructure and appearance. Senator Schumer said the money would “breathe new life into the exciting redevelopment project along the
riverfront in Brewerton.” Sadly, the money has not been used and Brewerton’s redevelopment has stalled. Why? The development money cannot sit idle forever. Eventually, if unused, it will be taken back and, with all that has gone on this year in Washington and Albany, I fear that day will come soon. Members of Cicero’s current administration have stated the town has no money set aside for the Brewerton project. That is true. This project was never intended to cost town taxpayers anything. Like most federal grants, the town has to first borrow the money and then receive reimbursement through the grant to pay off the loan. This amounts to nothing more than paperwork. The town does have a Brewerton revitalization
plan. However, in the past year, town officials have not met with the Brewerton community to update the project and the plan has remained untouched. Many in the state understand the importance and potential of New York’s canal side communities. The state’s Canal Corporation is a strong revitalization proponent. Even our neighboring towns have taken steps to improve their waterfronts. Across the Oneida River in Hastings, parks have improved, public marinas have been upgraded and plans are underway to restore the old canal lighthouse. In Clay, the town began acquiring property in the Three Rivers Point area years ago with the goal of one day developing the site for commercial and residential use.
Granted these are not the best of economic times. But bad times don’t last forever. By using the grant money now, Brewerton will be poised for growth when the economy turns around. And doing the improvements now will give the local economy a boost. Hopefully, the Town Board will get its act together and decide if 2011 will be a year of continued stagnation or rebirth for Brewerton. Sincerely, Chet Dudzinski Cicero Supervisor 2003-2009

to the Maroons 83-82. CNS did managed to win two of the three relays. Chris Drummond and Joe Tillman both took part in the Northstars taking the 200 freestyle relay (1:42.00) and 400 freestyle relay (4:15.66), with Anthony Dundas, Dan Eager, Joe Smith and Marc Halbritter helping out. Tyler Fornito, on his own, gave CNS a first-place time of
1:17.31 in the 100 breaststroke. Auburn saw Collin Mitchell (100 backstroke, 200 freestyle) and Connor Kilmer (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle) each win two races. Liverpool, meanwhile, has also seen the snow wreak havoc on its schedule, as meets against Auburn and Fayetteville-Manlius were nixed – which will mean more activity when 2011 starts.

Nothing of that sort happened on Thursday night, when Liverpool met Auburn and roared to a 75-6 victory over the Maroons. Other than the 112-pound match, the Warriors won everywhere. That included Capria pinning Nick Pysnack in 41 seconds and Munson finishing off Brandon Malone in 45 seconds. Cukalevski took 1:02 to pin James Murtari. Pins also went to CarrollMarsh, Pizzuto and Hathaway, who bounced back from the Shaheen loss to get a fall over Andrew Merrill in 1:33. Eason and Guilfoil earned third-period falls, as did Matt Call (152 pounds), while Brock Barton (140 pounds) had a 90-second pin over Steve Ansteth. This busy Liverpool week concluded Saturday, at Indian River, where it competed in the North Country Invitational and finished sixth in a 19-team field with 109.5 points – ahead of B’ville, who was eighth with 86 points. Eason made it to the 130pound finals, only to fall to Tyler Spann (Adirondack) in a 4-2 decision. Carroll-Marsh also had a runner-up finish at 285, reaching the title match before Alex Tibbles (Indian River) pinned him in the second period.

Right up to the last second of the last match, the Liverpool and Baldwinsville wrestling teams remained in close conflict, the result of their battle on the Warriors’ home mat a mystery. It was perfectly appropriate that it ended 37-37, in terms of actual points. However, the Warriors lost as the Bees earned the decisive criteria point because it had prevailed in eight of the 15 matches. With one match to go, Liverpool led 37-34. All it needed, in the 119-pound finale, was to have Nate Hathaway beat B’ville’s Joey Shaheen by any margin. For six minutes, Hathaway and Shaheen stayed close, the points difficult to attain. However, Shaheen inched ahead in the late going, then held on for a 6-4 decision that pushed the Bees to overall victory. Prior to that tense finish, the two sides had traded two separate runs. Liverpool struck first, at 125 pounds, as Casey Guilfoil pinned Connor Ross 11 seconds into the second period and Tyler Eason (130 pounds) rolled past Steve Petrelli 11-4. Then it was the Bees’ turn, Jacob Norton earning his sides’ first points at 135 pounds with
a pin over Lucas Castellanos in 3:47 and Ryan McArdell (140 pounds) shutting out Brockton Barton 9-0. Liverpool would seize a big lead in the higher weight classes, taking five of the next seven matches, including a forfeit to Pat Carroll-Marsh at 285 pounds. Dakota Inman (145 pounds) beat the Bees’ Brent Grippe 4-1, with Mende Cukalevski (152 pounds) taking just 29 seconds to pin Gunner Stephen. Joe Pizzuto (171 pounds) and Sean Munson (215 pounds) also earned pins for Liverpool – Pizzuto finishing off Joe Nasoni in 2:51, Munson stopping Jacob Florack with 46 seconds left in their match. B’ville stayed alive with two hard-fought decisions, as James Eustice, at 160 pounds, held off Matt Call 7-5 and Pat Nasoni (189 pounds) kept Brendan Capria off the board in a 7-0 shutout. Still, it had to win each of the last four matches in the lighter weight classes to have any chance. Sure enough, Kevin Paul (96 pounds) and Chad McArdell (112 pounds) both picked up quick pins – Paul over Travis Chewning-Kulick in 37 seconds, McArdell over Sam Marleau in 44 seconds – with a forfeit to Tim Sposato at 103 pounds in between, leading up to the big finish.

Sports By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com
No, it did not have the same stakes. And it did not include a wild, buzzer-beating bank shot replayed for a lifetime by players, coaches and fans alike. But the boys basketball reunion of Cicero-North Syracuse and Utica Proctor, the two combatants in last March’s memorable Section III Class AA championship, in Friday night’s Peppino’s Invitational at Henninger High had plenty of excitement in its own right. And it also had the same happy result for the Northstars, as it pulled out a 69-65 victory over the Raiders in a game unsettled until Josh Williams sank a pair of clinching free throws with 15 seconds left. Prior to that, it was senior Zach Coleman providing the main spark for CNS. Nine months ago at Utica Memorial Auditorium, he was on the court, a direct eyewitness when Anthony DelCoro’s desperation 3pointer crashed off the backboard through the net as time ran out, giving the Northstars a 61-60 win and its first-ever sectional title. Now Coleman made sure that Proctor did not get revenge - a tall task when, early in the second quarter, the Raiders, sparked by T’Andre Richardson’s 14 first-half points, led 27-19
and was threatening to get away. With just one field goal to his credit at that point, Coleman took over. In a span of barely a minute, Coleman sank a jump shot, drained a 3-pointer, then added back-to-back layups, all of which pushed the Northstars into a 34-30 lead. That outburst accounted for nearly half the 24 points Coleman would get on the night. “Our team did a great job distributing,”’ said Coleman. “They were moving the ball around, and (as a result) my shots started falling.” Just as important was the contributions Vaughndell Brantley made off the bench. Every time Proctor tried to inch closer, Brantley seemed to provide a key basket. That included back-to-back layups late in the third quarter that expanded the Northstars’ lead to 54-47. And it was 61-53 in CNS’s favor with less than five minute left when the cumulative full-court pressure put on by the Raiders started to wear CNS down. Gradually, the margin got smaller until, with 2:46 left, Richardson, who matched Coleman with 24 points, hit on a lay-up to tie it, 63-63, capping a 10-2 run. Staying cool, the Northstars regained the lead when Coleman hit a pair of foul shots with 1:34 left. Then CNS forced a turnover and fast break, capped off
by Williams (who had not scored all night) making a key lay-up with 1:13 to play that made it 67-63. Richardson’s basket cut the margin to two with 52 seconds left, and Proctor got the ball back on a turnover with a chance to tie or go in front - but Riley Moonan made a big steal near the basket, then called time-out in order to maintain possession. CNS worked the ball until Williams got fouled and his conversions helped CNS improve to 2-0 on the season, knowing that yet another showdown with the Raiders looms on Feb. 1 in Utica. Brantley finished with 15 points, while Elliott Boyce earned 11 points. Moonan (seven points) and Dave Jackowski (six points) also had solid showings as, on Proctor’s side, Kerion Barton and Jayson Jackson (11 points each) backed up Richardson. CNS held Raiders star Walkery Mills to just a single field goal and two points. The Northstars could now look ahead to a visit Tuesday night to Buddy Wleklinski Court to face Christian Brothers Academy, the team it beat 53-47 in last season’s sectional semifinals - and, of course, the alma mater of CNS head coach John Haas, who is enshrined in the Brothers’ Athletic Hall of Fame.
CNS wrestlers compete at Tri-Valley meet By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com To this point, the Cic e r o - No r t h S y r a c u s e wrestling team has spent more time waiting for meets to take place than participating in them. Already, CNY Counties League contests against Institute of Technology Central (on Dec. 8) and West Genesee (on Dec. 15) have been pushed back due to the intense storms that helped the area establish a record for December snowfall. But the snow stopped l on g e n ou g h f or t h e Northstars to venture e ast , to C amd en , for
last Saturday’s Tri-Valley Tournament, where it managed to earn 85 points and take 11 th place in a 19-team field. Fulton, with 191.5 points, edged Queensbury (175 points) for the top spot. Two CNS wrestlers reached the final round – but neither would prevail. James Segars made his way to the 160-pound ch ampi ons h ip m atch , b e at ing Q ue ens bur y’s Frankie Nassivera 5-2, only to fall to Canastota’s Tyler Sirota 13-6 and settle for second place. The same thing happened with Clayton D’Onofrio at 285 pounds, as he pinned Erik Eichler (Sherburne-Earville) in
40 seconds and Brennan Roberge (Fulton) in 1:11 to reach the finals before another Queensbury wrestler, Alex Pontiff, beat him 6-3. Dan Ciciarelli finished fifth at 112 pounds, topping Camden’s Garrett Mitchell 6-2 for that spot, while Matt Mastro, at 215 pounds, got injured in his match with Rome Free Academy’s Kevin Torchia and finished sixth. If the weather holds, CNS will meet RFA headto-head on Wednesday, then go back to Camden for a dual meet the next day to get one more bit of work in before Christmas.
CNS girls hoops splits New Jersey trip By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Fresh off opening its season with a victory in the Lady Raider Tournament, the Cicero-North Syracuse girls basketball team tried to find similar success when it went to Kean University in Union Township, N.J., for last weekend’s Festival of the Phoenix Tournament. In last Friday night’s opening round, the Northstars faced Blair, one of the local opponents, and though it got slowed down, CNS still won by a score of 48-38. New Jersey, like most states, does not employ a shot clock in high school basketball, so teams can set whatever tempos they like, fast or slow, without
worrying about having to do it within 30 seconds, as CNS has to when it plays at or close to home. It took a while for the Northstars to adjust, as it dragged through a 12-12 first half that included a second quarter where CNS got just two points. Finally breaking out in the third quarter, CNS outs core d Blair 19-6, moving ahead for good and negating the opposition’s slow-down tactics. Breanna Stewart finished with 17 points, including a 3-pointer, while Sarah B owles stepped up to score 11 points and point gu ard Kels e y Matt ice added nine points. Those same strategies were present in Sunday’s final, against St. John Vianney – and this time CNS could not overcome
t hem, t aking a 48-37 defeat. Through three evenly played periods, neither side could break out – which Vianne y didn’t mind, since it was keeping the Northstars from playing at a faster pace. In the fourth quarter, though, Vianney doubled CNS’s output, 20-10, as Zoe Otterman and Kate O’Reilly got 11 points apiece. In defeat, Stewart led both sides with 18 points as Abbey Timpano earned eight points and Brittany Paul added six points. CNS practices all through this week, then travels to the Disne y World complex in Orlando just after Christmas for another high-profile tournament on Dec. 28 and 29.
