In the immediate aftermath of the Cicero-North Syracuse girls basketball team’s 66-47 victory at Fayetteville-Manlius, fans from both sides, especially younger girls, ran up and had their friends take pictures of them standing next to Breanna Stewart.

Stewart had, once again, earned the extra attention.

The All-American junior center burned the Hornets, who entered the night with a 7-1 record, for 33 points, plus a fair amount of rebounds, blocked shots, steals and other hustle plays that kept F-M from getting too close.

As CNS has risen to the top of the local Class AA ranks, it has largely done so at the Hornets’ expense. The Northstars beat F-M in both the 2009 Section III finals and in last year’s sectional semifinals.

Given the records of both teams this year, it’s likely they could reunite in the post-season, so it was vital for CNS to reaffirm its dominance - and for F-M to show that it wasn’t completely intimidated. In a way, they both succeeded in their respective missions.

Pushing the tempo from the start, CNS used its active defense to harass F-M all over the court. Eventually, that paid off as, with a 10-0 run that bridged the first and second quarters, it pulled away to a 26-10 lead, threatening to make it a rout.

Yet the Hornets made sure the rout never materialized,

A 29-year-old woman who was raised in the Liverpool area was arrested Friday Jan. 14, and charged with second-degree murder.

Nicole DeJaynes is accused of killing her newborn daughter whose body was wrapped in a towel and placed in a trash dumpster at the Pearl Street Apartments in the village.

At an afternoon press conference on Jan. 14, Liverpool Police Chief Bill Becker announced that a woman admitted she was the mother of the dead infant. She was not identified by name at that time, but Becker said she was receiving medical attention at a local

health-care facility. Police provided her name when she was arrested that evening after abruptly leaving the facility.

While authorities await final determinations of cause and manner of death from Onondaga County Medical Examiner Dr. Robert Stoppacher, the district attorney’s office charged her with murder. DeJaynes was arraigned at about 11:30 p.m. Friday before Liverpool Village Justice Anthony LaValle who entered a mandatory not-guilty plea on her behalf before sending her to jail at the Corbett Justice Center, in downtown Syracuse.

On Saturday, First Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Trunfio confirmed that the medical examiner had yet to receive toxicology results. Nevertheless, he added, DeJaynes’ sudden departure from the medical facility “combined with the

Community News Clay Town Supervisor Reflects on Tough Tax Year

By Matt Liptak Contributing writer The town of Clay’s supervisor, Damian M. Ulatowski, knows the town’s residents may not be happy with the big bump in numbers they recently saw on their property tax bill, but he wants to make sure they’re aware that the biggest hike came from Onondaga County, not the town of Clay.

“Residents across the state, particularly the town of Clay are charged school tax, they’re charged county tax, they’re charged town tax,” he said. “All of those bills come out through the town so to the average resident, they’re saying ‘I’ve got this envelope from the town here, this must be a town tax,’ but on those tax bills it’s clearly delineated that there are portions of it that are town, portions of it that are county and portions of it that are school.”

Clay’s portion of the tax increased just about 10 percent, according to Ulatowski, while the county tax rose 53 percent.

The supervisor said he can’t answer for Onondaga’s 53-percent increase, but believes it’s due to the county government no longer allowing a portion of sales tax to go to the towns.

Clay has made an effort to lessen its portion of the tax increase.

“We did trim budgets for highway,” Ulatowski said.

“We eliminated a lot of conferences that our employees normally go to for continuing education. We actually had to let three employees go, so we’ve made some substantial cuts, and I’ve not filled vacant positions from people who retired.”

The three jobs that were cut were in the water, planning and highway departments.

Ulatowski cited payment of retirement benefits imposed by the state on the town, and employee benefit costs imposed by unions, as other sources of the tax hike.

“If [unions] want those kind of increases, and I can do nothing through contract negotiations to make them see otherwise, I got to pass those costs along or I got to let people go, which is what we did,” he said.

The worst of the Clay’s tax woes may be behind it though. Ulatowski is optimistic that the changes already made will make for an easier time of things for the town’s residents down the road.

“Hopefully we’ve rightsized our government now to help mitigate future rate increases,” he said. “I think we still run a very efficient town. I know that from a tax-rate perspective—actual cost of taxes—we’re still the lowest in the county. I think we’re doing a great job.”

Amey’s insight reflects district woes across the state Some of you will remember Bruce Amey as a Liverpool High School teacher in the 70s and 80s.

Others will know Amey as a very effective High School Principal at A-P-W. I remember Amey well, as a committed and enthusiastic English teacher during those Liverpool years.

Thus, it was with sense of pride that I read Amey’s very logical letter in the Dec. 30 Buffalo News. Starting with Governor Cuomo, every member of the New York State Legislature—Assembly and Senate alike—should read his letter which makes so much sense.

Amey, now the school superintendent in Avon, a community just west of Rochester, very clearly explained that most school districts will be financially

devastated if a tax cap levey becomes law at the very same time that school districts are experiencing major cuts in state aid. Bruce wrote that in Avon, the mandated increases that the district must pay into the retirement systems alone will result in a tax levy increase of more than 2%; yet Governor Cuomo is promoting a maximum tax increase of 2%. As he stressed, if the Governor’s proposal is passed, his school district would not be able to raise the “revenue to even cover costs that the state mandates the district to pay.”

Tax caps make good politics anytime, especially in a state where property owners are paying some of the highest taxes in the nation. But the Governor’s timing leaves a great deal to

be desired, especially when the feeble state economy makes it necessary for New York State to keep cutting school aid. North Syracuse Central School District took an $8 million hit in state aid this year and all the signs indicate a similar reduction next year. We have some definite facts: based on a 1.6% CPI, the Governor’s tax cap levy proposal would require next year’s budget to be cut by $8.5 million. Add on the possibility of another $8 - $9 million state aid cut and the North Syracuse Central School District would be forced to reduce its $135

million budget by approximately $17 million. Let’s not kid ourselves –the school district would be crippled.

I would be remiss if I did not add that the Governor’s proposal allows voters to raise the cap if 60% of those voting endorse the school budget. That’s a positive.

Remember, this year we lost $8 million in state aid, eliminated 102 positions, and ended up with a budget $2 million less than the previous year.

If both a tax cap and a horrendous state aid cut occur at the same time, this school district as we know it, will be significantly damaged and will not be able to offer the same quality and quantity of academic, operational, and extracurricular/academic services as currently exist.

A call for safety on the Parkway

By Judy Tassone This year, Onondaga Lake Parkway experienced one of the worst accidents in its history, with the fatal Megabus crash on Sept. 11. For most of us, we travel along the Parkway numerous times a week, and are very aware of the low bridge at the railroad crossing. However, the mall, the stadium, and the regional transit center play host to many individuals who do not travel along the Parkway on a regular basis and are not familiar with the area. The warning signage seems noticeable and explicit, yet, year

after year, there are instances of tractor trailers that hit the low bridge inadvertently causing accidents and sometimes closing the roadway.

I sponsored a resolution requesting the Governor of New York, the New York State Department of Transportation and the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council to take immediate action to protect the traveling public on Onondaga Lake Parkway including the imposition of travel restrictions similar to those for state parkways. Onondaga Lake Parkway is owned and maintained by the State of New York. Until the State takes ac-

tion on this roadway, horrific accidents will continue. In the past five years there have been ten accidents along that stretch of road and five fatal crashes since 1991.

New York State, along with Onondaga County, has a responsibility to the safety of its citizens. A human life is much too precious to wait for a study that may take months or years. It has been proven, time and time again, Onondaga Lake Parkway is a dangerous roadway in need of improvements. New York State’s Department of Transportation needs to make changes to this roadway immediately.

Guest commentary

January is the time for juniors to get started!

Attention all juniors, and parents of juniors, it is time to get going on the college process.

I know it seems soon, but I can assure you that the students that started in the winter of their junior year were, by far, better prepared and submitted much more thorough applications. Perhaps, just as important, they submitted fewer applications than those students that started the process later. This point usually gets parents’ attention, since each application ranges about $60. Most of the student I worked with submitted eight applications, but it is not unusual for unsure students to submit up to 20 applications.

So what can students and families start to do? Begin by planning some college visits, particularly if your son or daughter is not sure of what

kind of college they are interested in. We are fortunate to have a range of schools in our area. Visit a SUNY, a large university like Syracuse, Ithaca, or Cornell, and some smaller liberal arts institutions like Hobart &William Smith, Union and Colgate. Assure your student that these are not necessarily the schools they have to attend, but that this is just practice in how to get the most out of college visits.

These early visits will give your student a frame of reference. “I like campuses that have X,” or “I hate colleges that focus so much on Y.” These likes and dislikes help students begin to define what they want from a college, what programs are offered, what kind of students they feel most comfortable with, what learning style matter most to them.

I encourage families to schedule visits online as early as possible. Yes, you do have to register now. Many students waited to the last minute this year and were not able to schedule themselves on tours or information sessions. It’s difficult to get a real sense of what a school is like without taking the tour or hearing the admission staff representative’s address. Holidays like Martin Luther King weekend and February break are great times to visit since college student are on campus.

The other important area juniors can begin to explore is summer plans. Does the student plan to get a job, attend a summer enrichment program, do community service? Many of these programs actually have applications due in the winter. How students spend the summer between

their junior and senior year matters. Many colleges actually have an essay question on their applications asking about this. Others certainly ask in the interview. So it is a good idea to give it some careful thought.

I share this advice not to put families in a panic, but to give everyone a ‘heads up.’

More students are submitting more applications than ever before. So getting yourselves organized and thinking about the process will help your son or daughter approach this important time thoughtfully and with more confidence.

Murder

No one’s laughing at Joanie’s ‘big joke’ Joanie Mahoney admits that she may have come on too strong when she first took office. After being sworn in as county executive on Jan. 1, 2008, she was rarin’ to go and perhaps she overplayed her hand on the subject of government consolidation, she said shortly before New Year’s Day. Nevertheless, she insisted, “We need less ‘Us versus Them’ and more regional cooperation.”

Mahoney suggested that Central New Yorkers abandon their allegiance to arbitrary geographical boundaries because it’s simply “too expensive” to maintain so many individual small governments.

“But I’m certainly not one to come in and tell people they’ve got to change things they’ve been working on for many years,” she backtracked. “It has to be a partnership. We have to work together.”

She even hinted that her rocky relationship with the county Legislature can be repaired. Conjuring up her best Pollyanna imita-

tion when discussing the hot and hostile legislators, Mahoney said with a wry smile, “Things are getting better all the time.”

Yeah, and it’s going to stop snowing any day now…

New aide gets earful!

Meanwhile, the county’s newly appointed director of inter-governmental relations, Travis Glazier, has been busily meeting with supervisors of the county’s 19 towns and mayors from the county’s 15 villages, all of whom are anxious to hold on to their individual fiefdoms.

Mahoney’s hand-picked assistant, who replaced Ben Dublin, certainly got an earful from the honchos of the hinterlands. Their noses are still way out of joint about the way Joanie jerked lucrative sales tax revenues out from under them last year.

No sense of humor?

Local governments aren’t the only ones reeling from the sales tax fiasco.

Home owners in the

town of Salina can’t believe what they’re seeing when their 2011 tax bills arrive in the mail. If you’re one of those whose assessment has just skyrocketed, you can complain to people like Town Supervisor Mark Nicotra, but he’s unlikely able to provide more than heartfelt sympathy. Town taxes on his own Lyncourt home zoomed up from $239 last year to $510 this year. He blames Mahoney.

“Another big joke played on the taxpayer,” he snorted.

Money meeting on Jan. 31 So far village of Liverpool taxpayers haven’t felt the effect of the county’s sleight of hand, but come July, that’ll be a different story. Concerned villagers should make a point to attend a special village board meeting about the impending financial crisis at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 31, at the Village Hall, 310 Sycamore St. Board of Supervisors?

Early last year in light

of the county’s decision to rescind sales tax monies from towns and villages, Geddes Town Supervisor Joe Ranieri wrote a letter urging the dissolution of the county Legislature and the county executive’s office in order to return to a Board of Supervisors form of government.

“I’m not sure if he’s being serious or tongue-incheek,” mused Liverpool Mayor Gary White.

School districts need consolidation Meanwhile, Mahoney and her minions keep pushing for consolidation.

But no one, including the county executive, seems to have the chutzpah to take aim at the school districts. They’re the highest-taxing entities in New York State, and there’s more than 700 of them not counting New York City.

A visionary leader would force the schools to regroup with one district for each county.

Right now Onondaga County has 18 school districts. That’s 17 too many!

would not provide details.

Investigators continue to follow leads “to ensure that any and all possible persons involved in this incident are contacted and identified,” Becker said.

LPD Det. Michael Lemm supervised the probe which was conducted jointly by officers from the Manlius and Camillus police departments working under the auspices of the Onondaga County Major Felony Unit, as well as members of the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office. The county office of Child Protective Services was also consulted.

Two days before the mother’s arrest, Liverpool Police named the baby Isabella Marie, and said they were planning a funeral service for the victim. DeJaynes indicated no interest in the funeral plans, Becker said.

When asked if the mother expressed any remorse about the disposal of the infant, Becker said, “No, she did not.”

Officers’ door-to-door canvassing and online tips from the public led detectives to DeJaynes early last week, Becker said. When initially interviewed by detectives, DeJaynes denied involvement in the incident, Becker said, but after several interrogations over

From page 1 three days, she admitted she had given birth to the baby.

She and her boyfriend, 23-year-old Zach Prouty, had reportedly been visiting friends who live at the 60unit Pearl Street Apartments.

Prouty’s father, Greg Prouty of Baldwinsville, told a reporter that he believes his son knew nothing about the abandoned infant. Regarding the child’s paternity, the elder Prouty maintained that his son had been dating DeJaynes for no more than seven months.

“She’s the mother of the child,” Becker said at Friday’s press conference, “I’m not going to comment on who actually placed the child into the dumpster.”

Zach Prouty was arrested on a bench warrant on Jan. 11, the first day police interviewed DeJaynes. He’s being held without bail on charges of possession of a hypodermic instrument and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, charges originally brought by Syracuse police.

Trunfio revealed Saturday that DeJaynes is the also mother of a 5-year-old child now in the custody of a grandmother. DeJaynes’ mother has been identified as Tessa Bona-Blewett of Clay.

By Phil Blackwell From its rough early days, the Liverpool boys basketball team has matured into a serious CNY Counties League National division championship contender.

Still unbeaten in league play, the Warriors hosted Nottingham last Tuesday night and won its fourth game in a row, taking out the Bulldogs 65-48.

Steadily, Liverpool established control and got a 3122 halftime lead. Then it put away Nottingham by going on a 20-9 third-quarter run.

As in recent games, Ian Hamm proved tough to stop, as his 22 points was a third consecutive 20-point outing.

Connor Rogers took a larger role and finished with 14 points, with Adam Misener adding seven points. John Foley and Ben Peet got six points apiece.

The Warriors went for its fifth straight win Friday, at Central Square, and got it, fighting off the pesky Red Hawks in a 60-49 decision.

Hot shooting in the first quarter propelled Central Square to a 20-15 lead. But Liverpool’s defense adjusted and the Red Hawks went cold, the Warriors outscoring them 16-5 to move ahead for good.

Still, Central Square hung in there, only down 46-41

going into the fourth quarter before the Warriors could get away. Hamm had yet another 20-point outing, with Misener hitting four 3pointers to account for most of his 18 points. Peet added seven points. T.J. Perkins led the Red Hawks with 18 points.

In Saturday’s first round of the Juggler Classic at SUNY-Utica Tech, Liverpool made it six wins in a row, rolling past Monsignor Scanlon, a school from the Bronx, in an 85-48 romp.

Liverpool had its best first half of the season, jumping out to a 24-10 lead and not letting up until it had a 45-26 halftime edge. Then came a 23-8 romp through the third period, just to be sure.

Hamm’s hot play (and consistency) continued with 24 points, wile Misener threw in 15 points. Abe Odum stepped up for nine points as John Foley finished with eight points.

Once the Juggler Classic was done, Liverpool would rest a bit, then head home Wednesday to seek payback against unbeaten (10-0) West Genesee, the last team to beat them on Dec. 27 in the first round of the Bishop Ludden Rosemary Corcoran Holiday Classic. Another big game follows as the Warriors go to Utica Proctor Friday night.

Liverpool girls basketball has 3-1 week

By Phil Blackwell Having passed a milestone (Mike Olley’s 100th career win) and announced its contender status by knocking off previously unbeaten Fayetteville-Manlius on Jan. 7, the Liverpool girls basketball team now fought to keep that status intact through its busiest stretch of the season.

It played four time in six days – and nearly won them all.

It was that defeat that would stick out, though, as in the first round of the Juggler Classic at SUNY-Utica Tech, the Warriors saw a big fourth-quarter lead disappear in a wild 67-64 loss to Utica Proctor.

From the time the game

started, all looked to be fine for the Warriors as it gained a 17-9 first-quarter lead. The two sides then traded baskets until another surge in the third period pushed the Liverpool advantage to 49-35.

Ally Zywicki could not miss much, hitting five 3pointers and 11 overall field goals on her way to a new career mark of 32 points.

Nicole Ciricillo (12 points) and Lyteshia Price (10 points) were helping out, too, and the Warriors, as a whole, were keeping Proctor star Brianna Kiesel from breaking out the Pittsburgh-bound senior had 18 points through three Please see 3-1, page 14

Liverpool bowlers outscore CNS

By Phil Blackwell High scores and plenty of strikes marked the Liverpool boys bowling team’s showdown with Cicero-North Syracuse last Wednesday afternoon.

The Warriors did enough to beat the Northstars 2-1, as Travis Tucker made a spare, followed by 11 consecutive strikes during a 290 game that was part of a season-best 760 series.

Alex DiGenaro also flirted with perfection during a 276

Carpeting

game as he worked his way to a 656 series, while Rich Boullosa had a 678 series that included a 245 game. CNS saw Erik Liepke post a threegame total of 647, with a 252 high game thrown in.

CNS rebounded on Thursday, beating Baldwinsville 2-1 despite the Bees’ Sam Sojdak registering a 300 game in the opener. Ultimately, Sojdak had a 636 series, less than that of Jake Patterson, who led the Northstars with a 673 set as Zach Szumloz posted a 612 series.

CNS boys hoops sweep trio of foes

By Phil Blackwell

Weather made the CiceroNorth Syracuse boys basketball team stew for a week in the wake of its Jan. 4 loss to Henninger.

As it turned out, though, the unscheduled rest helped the Northstars refresh – and it turned around and won three times in a span of six days to improve to 7-2.

When the Northstars went back on the court last Tuesday night at Oswego, it methodi-

cally took the Buccaneers apart in the first half and breezed to a 72-54 victory.

All through the first half, CNS maintained full control, continuing to build its margin until it had a 40-19 edge. That sort of domination did not last, but Oswego could not inch much closer.

Ten different players scored, with Zach Coleman again leading the way as Please see Hoops, page 14

Watkins wins mile at NYC meet

By Phil Blackwell Liverpool’s Zavon Watkins made his indoor track debut in 2009-10 a memorable one with, among other things, a national sophomore record in the 1,000-meter run set at the Molloy Stanner games at the Armory in New York City.

When Watkins returned to the Armory Saturday for this year’s edition of the Stanner Games, he focused on the mile – and what would

turn out to be a great duel with Cicero-North Syracuse’s Chris Buchanan.

Saving his best stuff for the final lap, Watkins, in 59 seconds, pulled away from Buchanan and won in four minutes, 19.86 seconds.

Buchanan had to settle for second place in 4:21.54.

Watkins also helped Liverpool finish third in the 4x400 Please see Watkins, page 15

Lloyd E. Schwarzmeier, 89

Former inventory technician at the Navy Supply Center Lloyd Edward Schwarzmeier, 89, of Alameda, Calif., passed away peacefully at Alameda Hospital on Wednesday Dec. 29, 2010. Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on Jan. 11, 1921, Lloyd spent most of his youth in Syracuse.

called him “Swarzie.” Lloyd had been a resident of Waters Edge Nursing Home since October 2003.

Lloyd loved people, reading and memorizing poetry, dancing, singing, fishing, coin collecting and selling antiques. He had a vast amount of knowledge about many subjects, and could have a conversation with anyone about anything.

His sister, Gladys Dimon, predeceased him in November, 2006.

Post office

list of stations and branches being considered for closure or consolidation in August 2009 and was whittled down to 371 locations in October 2009. The village received a letter with the final decision to shut the post office down in late October of last year.

Mary Anne Surlock has been the primary postmistress at the North Syracuse location for seven years. While she said she was not authorized by the U.S.P.S. to discuss the details of the closure, she did say she would be moving to the Mattydale Post Office on Brewerton Road.

Dave Bromfield, of Cicero, was surprised to hear about the closure as he made his weekly stop at the post office. “Every Friday I’m in and out in five minutes max and it’s so convenient,� he said. “It’s not just the village that will miss this.�

Mayor Diane Browning also expressed her displeasure with the post office being shut down as she stopped by for a final farewell to Surlock on Friday. “It’s very sad,� she said. “This post office has been the centerpiece of our village for some time. A lot of senior citi-

zens come in here because it’s easy to walk to. With the post office and the different businesses, it has been a walkable village for many people.�

Browning sent a petition with more than 800 names to the Postmaster General in Washington D.C. to voice the displeasure of the village and make suggestions on how to keep the post office open, but it fell upon deaf ears.

Village residents are now being directed to the post office branch on East Taft Road, nearly a mile and a half away from the North Syracuse Post Office.

he posted 21 points. Elliott Boyce had a season-best 15 points, connecting on a pair of 3-pointers as Riley Moonan and Vaughndell Brantley each finished with seven points.

CNS then hosted Fayetteville-Manlius on Friday, the same team it throttled 94-44 on this same home court on Dec. 30.

The sequel proved no different, as the Northstars this time crushed the Hornets 76-30. Other than an active first quarter that saw F-M make a fair share of baskets,

it was never a contest as CNS outscored them 56-16 in the last three periods.

Boyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine play continued as he led the Northstars with 17 points, including a trio of 3-pointers. Coleman gained 15 points as Josh Williams and reserve Bryan Quartier got eight points apiece. Brantley, Moonan and Shakir Thomas each got six points.

On Sunday, the Northstars went to Erie, Pa., to play in the Martin Luther King Jr. Classic against Erie East â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and won again, this time using a big late

run to prevail 61-48.

For much of the first three quarters, CNS was shaky on the offensive side, and Erie East pounced, steadily building a 43-33 lead with two minutes left in the third quarter.

What followed was the single most impressive run of the entire season as the Northstars stunned the Warriors with a 26-3 outburst that covered eight minutes of clock.

Ten of those points came from Coleman, who earned 19 points overall. Boyce was

periods.

Then came the fourth quarter, and Kiesel took over. Almost by herself, she brought the Raiders back, hitting on every conceivable shot and eventually matching Zywickiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of five 3-pointers as Proctor closed on a 3215 run to pull it out. All told, Kiesel had 40 points, tying the school record for points in a single game.

Stunned by this result, Liverpool nearly lost again in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consolation game against West Genesee, but recovered enough to beat the Wildcats 72-70 in overtime.

Despite its 3-7 mark, WG used a 15-5 push through the second quarter to take a 26-18 lead, and maintained that edge deep into the final period.

This time, though, it was the Warriors making the comeback as Zywicki again proved spectacular. Topping her Proctor total, Zywicki

finished with 34 points as the Warriors forged a 63-63 tie, then outscored WG 9-7 in the four-minute extra period. Price and Nina Tassone each finished with 14 points as, for the Wildcats, Katie Kolinski (22 points) and Melissa Fumano (17 points) led the way.

Before all this, the Warriors nearly squandered a big early lead at Nottingham last Tuesday night before hanging on to beat the Bulldogs 46-43.

Hot early shooting (just like the F-M game) put Liverpool up 18-7, but just as quickly the Warriors cooled off, giving Nottingham all kinds of time to rally.

It was 25-19 by halftime, and for the rest of the game the Warriors had to clamp down on defense to make sure the Bulldogs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it all the way back.

Part of the problem was seeing Tassone go without a

field goal, as both her points came at the free-throw line.

That put more pressure on Zywicki, but she stepped up and finished with 19 points, while Circillo contributed 13 points. Price helped, too, earning nine points.

Two nights later, the Warriors hosted Central Square and dominated all the way through a 59-25 victory over the Red Hawks.

From the time it started 15-2, Liverpool dictated the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire course. Zywicki again led the way, picking up 13 points as Ciricillo finished with nine points. Chloe Buccina stepped up, joining Tassone with seven points as Allie Melle added six points.

Liverpool emerged from this eventful and busy stretch at 7-3 for the season. The Warriors have to go through all of it again this week with rematches against both West Genesee and Utica Proctor.

even though two starters, Ali Pliszka and Charlotte Beers, had three fouls apiece in the first half. Pliszka had six of her 18 points late in the first half as part of an 8-2 run that cut the Northstars’ margin to 35-25 at the break.

Gradually, CNS restored its lead through several factors, including the aggressive play of Brittany Paul, who harassed F-M’s guards on one end and, on the other end, delivered 17 points, six of them in the fourth quarter.

Kelsey Mattice chimed in with 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, and capped her night with a behind-theback pass to set up Paul’s final basket.

Mostly, though, it was Stewart in the spotlight again.

Her first basket of the night was a 3-pointer from the top

of the key, and though F-M’s front line did everything within its power to deny her space, it usually led to free throws - and Stewart made 12 of the 13 foul shots she attempted. Other times, she just worked her way inside for easy baskets.

CNS entered the latest showdown with the Hornets feeling quite good in the wake of its 71-37 romp over Oswego last Tuesday night.

The first quarter alone proved too much, as the Northstars tore up the Buccaneers and took a 30-5 lead.

The next two periods weren’t that different, either, as the margin grew to 54-15 before the starters left for the fourth quarter.

Stewart, in her three periods of work, had 29 points, even connecting on

a 3-pointer. Brittany Paul (11 points) also hit double figures as Kelsey Mattice got nine points.

Following the win over FM, CNS, no. 9 in the latest state Class AA rankings, made one more long road trip, this time to Upper Dublin High School in suburban Philadelphia, to face Academy of the Holy Cross in Sunday’s Blue Star Invitational, another gathering of some of the Northeast’s top teams.

The Northstars would fall to Holy Cross 44-41 as Stewart only managed 17 points, the same total as Holy Cross senior Akilah Bethel, who is verbally committed to attend West Virginia next year. CNS was now 9-2 as it meets Nottingham and Central Square this week.

It is ironic that the exercisers in weight rooms may leave their workouts less healthy than when they arrived. The fact is that weight-room injuries have increased by 50 percent since 1990. The largest increase in this type of injury has occurred in people aged 45 years and older. Clearly, precautions must be taken to eliminate injuries among wellintentioned individuals seeking to increase their muscle strength. The first step in injury prevention involves warming up with a few minutes of jogging or calisthenics. It also may help to use resistance P.S.
