A legacy continues Upstate Medical University honors Debbie Gregg By Kate Hill Staff Writer This past fall, Upstate Medical University presented its President’s Award for Excellence in Philanthropic Service to the family of Deborah Schutzendorf Gregg (1964-2012), a longtime Cazenovia resident and an ardent supporter of Upstate’s brain cancer research. Gregg was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008. In the years that followed, she not only battled her disease but also fought to raise awareness and money to support brain cancer research. Despite a taxing treatment plan, she sponsored and helped organize several fundraising events and rallied friends, family, community members, and local businesses to participate. In June 2012, Gregg opened Debbie’s Brain Cancer Research Fund at the Upstate Foundation. “She had stopped treatment and knew that she did not have much longer to live,” said Gregg’s sister, Jennifer Hooley. “She wanted to raise money to support her doctor at Upstate Cancer Center who was dedicated to neuro-oncology research specializing in brain tumors. Debbie believed that, of all things, her doctor’s brain cancer research could make a difference for others in the future. She also left her body to Upstate medical school for research.” In July of that year, many of Gregg’s friends and family members came to see her at the Cazenovia July 4th Foot Races. She completed the race in her wheelchair adorned with pink and

In September 2023, Upstate Medical University named longtime Cazenovia resident Deborah Schutzendorf Gregg (1964-2012) as the recipient of its President’s Award for Excellence in Philanthropic Service. Her daughter Pamela Townsend Rich received the award on her behalf. green ribbons. “This was the first fundraiser [for her research fund],” said Hooley. “Debbie passed away about a month later.” According to Hooley, while her relationship with Gregg was not perfect, their bond as sisters was very strong. She said she especially misses Gregg’s contagious energy, tenacity, and fearlessness, and she feels inspired every time she hears Gregg’s favorite song, “You Get What You Give” by New Radicals, which she used to blast and sing along to. What Hooley admired most about her sister at the end of her life was her enthusiasm for the Upstate Cancer Center, which was completed shortly after she passed

away. “She was thrilled when she saw the plans that included heated infusion chairs and rooms overlooking the tea gardens,” Hooley recalled. “She knew this would make a difference for other cancer patients. Although I hope no one ever needs to go to Upstate Cancer Center, for those who do, it is not only a worldclass facility but also a beautiful place that Debbie was proud to support through her fundraising for brain cancer research.” Since Gregg’s passing, her family, friends, and supporters have continued to raise money for her fund and organized several events and initiatives, including a Brain Cancer Walk and the

“Climb Your Mountain 29” challenge. “My whole family is grateful to everyone who has participated in the events and helped grow the fund,” said Hooley. “Debbie would be so thrilled.” As of Dec. 22, 2023, $158,000 had been raised through Gregg’s fund to support brain cancer research at Upstate Medical University. So far, $67,000 from the fund has been invested in the research lab of Mariano Viapiano, Ph.D., an associate professor of neuroscience and physiology, cell and developmental biology, and neurosurgery. The President’s Award for Excellence in Philanthropic Service is given to an individual or fam-

ily who has demonstrated significant generosity and effort in support of the mission of Upstate Medical University and the Upstate Foundation. Award recipients are nominated by the Upstate Foundation. The award was presented to Gregg’s daughter Pamela Townsend Rich at Upstate Medical University’s annual Fall Faculty Convocation in September. Before the

ceremony, the family was invited to tour Viapiano’s laboratory. “It has been my biggest honor to accept the award on my mother’s behalf,” said Rich. “She will always be remembered for not only her strength but also her fun, charismatic personality. She cared so much for everyone around her. Ever since I can remember, she has always taught me to Upstate l Page 2

Oneida Health names new CEO

Oneida Health recently welcomed its next president and CEO, Felissa Koernig, JD, MBA, FACHE. Koernig officially began on Sept. 18. At that time, Jeremiah Sweet who served as interim president and CEO resumed his role as vice president of finance and CFO. “We performed an exhaustive six-month search across the country for the ideal candidate to move our healthcare network into the future,” said Mike Kallet, Oneida Health Board of Trustees chair. “We couldn’t be happier with our selection. The board and I are confident that Felissa’s experience and expertise perfectly align with Oneida Health’s current and future organizational goals.” Koernig comes to Oneida Health with over 15 years of leadership experience in strategic and operational management in the non-profit, federal, and private sectors. She received her juris doctorate (law degree) and master of business administration (MBA) from Pennsylvania State University and previously served as the president of Guthrie Corning Hospital in Corning, New York. Additionally, Koernig has served as senior vice president/ chief operating officer (COO) of Guthrie Towanda Memorial Hospital in Towanda, Pennsylvania, and associate director/COO of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina. Koernig is a Presidential Management Fellow (PMF), a highly selective and prestigious two-year training and leadership training program offered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. The PMF program is the feder-

Felissa Koernig al government’s premiere pipeline for promoting advanced degree graduates into government leadership positions. “I am excited to join a healthcare organization with a wellknown reputation for providing award-winning patient safety and experience to the community it serves,” said Koernig. “Our top priority will continue to be providing convenient access to the highest quality of healthcare. I am honored to serve the residents of Madison and Oneida County while leading a talented team of medical providers and professional staff.” In 2024, Oneida Health will be celebrating 125 years of providing healthcare. Koernig is the first female CEO in Oneida Health’s history. “Our organization has a rich history of great leaders for more than a century,” said Kallet. “While leaning on our vast experience, we will continue to strive to deliver progressive care and produce the best results for our patients. In Oneida, the future of healthcare is bright.”

The same month as the award ceremony, Gregg’s family members opened Debbie’s Brain Cancer Research Endowment through the Upstate Foundation to ensure that her legacy will exist in perpetuity at Upstate. Gregg’s father, Gordon Schutzendorf, said the endowment was established so that future money would be invested in long-term brain cancer research. “[Debbie] gave her body to the Upstate Cancer Hospital for cancer research, and we hope to

Cazenovia College partners with Roberts Wesleyan University

Roberts Wesleyan University has been named a teach-out partner for Cazenovia College— providing a seamless and cost-effective transition experience for students seeking to complete their studies. Under its financial promise to Cazenovia, Roberts Wesleyan will waive all transfer application and admissions fees and will work to match or reduce current out-of-pocket costs for tuition, housing and meals. The agreement applies to currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students in good academic and social standing as well as incoming firstyear students. Committed to preparing graduates who are thoughtful, spiritually mature and service-oriented, Roberts Wesleyan is prepared to provide further assistance and support tailored to students opting to start or complete their academic careers in their chosen fields and will transfer equivalent earned credits to ensure students graduate on time. The university has the same agreement with Medaille, which is also set to close. “Our first priority is to the students, and we have deep empathy and compassion for the those who were looking forward to their next year at Medaille or Cazenovia, and who might rather be making summer plans than education plans,” said Kimberley Wiedefeld, vice president for enrollment strategy and marketing at Roberts Wesleyan University. “We applaud the work of their campus leadership in caring for students during this time of transition by seeking out

trusted teach-out partners like Roberts to further their students’ academic pursuits. As New York’s leading university for character education, we take great pride in being named a teachout partner to provide a seamless transition experience to an affordable and high-quality education at Roberts.” Roberts Wesleyan offers a broad range of more than 90 undergraduate, graduate and adult degree-completion programs across disciplines in health care, education, business, criminal justice, social sciences and other areas. Through years of intentional program development, Roberts continues to expand its catalogue of advanced academic offerings, including its doctoral programs in clinical/school psychology and occupational therapy, fully online associate degree programs and regionally recognized teacher education training, which will be available to Medaille and Cazenovia students who choose to continue their studies at Roberts in fall 2023. “Both Medaille’s and Cazenovia’s programs closely align with ours, and our expertise in creating customized educational pathways for traditional undergraduate students, or adults going back to school for associate or graduate degrees, made both institutions feel like natural partners,” Wiedefeld said. “Not only is Roberts a strategic choice, but it’s also a convenient option in close proximity to both schools for students looking for an in-person experience on campus, and we look forward to showing them all our campus and the Greater

Rochester community has to offer.” Per the agreement, student-athletes at Medaille and Cazenovia will have the opportunity to consider joining one of Roberts’ 20 NCAA Division II athletic teams, including four inaugural sports programs—Women’s Field Hockey, Men’s Volleyball, Women’s Triathlon, and E-Sports— starting in the fall. Qualification for athletic scholarships in overlapping programs will also be considered for students hoping to continue their athletic journey as a Roberts Redhawk. The Redhawks are the only NCAA Division II team in Rochester, competing as a member of the East Coast Conference. Informational resource pages and guides for students considering transferring to Roberts Wesleyan are available for Medaille and Cazenovia students. Roberts has also appointed Tai Aderounmu, director of undergraduate recruiting and athletics, to serve as a trusted point of contact for students at both Medaille and Cazenovia to address any questions, needs or concerns for students seeking more information about transferring to Roberts. “We know this may be an overwhelming time for many,” Wiedefeld said. “Our promise is that each student, regardless of where they are in their academic journey, will receive the resources and support to continue their education and we look forward to welcoming them to Roberts Wesleyan University.” For more information about Roberts Wesleyan University, visit roberts. edu.

Retired nurse, loved her family It is with great sorrow that the Craig, Wheeler and Reagan families announce the passing of their cherished mother and g r a n d m o t h e r, Susan E. Craig, 77. Susan passed away peacefully at home of pancreatic cancer surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2023. The sorrow of Susan’s passing was tempered for her family Susan E. Craig by the great joy knowing that she was ready to join her beloved husband of 51 years, who also had pancreatic cancer, and passed away six weeks previously. Susan was born on May 21, 1946 in Clifton, NJ, to Donald H. and Matilda H. (Seidel) Kredell and was a graduate of the registered nursing program at Farleigh Dickinson University. She was employed as a registered nurse at hospitals in New York City and Ohio before joining the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ and moving to Syracuse, where she met her great love and future husband, David E. Craig. After they married, they moved to Cazenovia, where they raised their four children. She returned to nursing and was employed as an OBGYN nurse for Dr. Marotta and immensely enjoyed caring for her patients. Susan found her greatest satisfaction in her work at home caring for her family and home. After her retirement from nursing Susan devoted her time to her grandchildren. She was extremely affectionate and always ready to laugh and play, being the fun-loving Grammy that she was and so greatly loved by her grandchildren. Susan had a deep appreciation of nature, enjoyed gardening, sewing, and home improvement projects. She was always vocal about her faith and was a member of Eastern Hills Bible Church. She was truly a woman of integrity, faithfulness, and deep feeling, had a wonderful sense of humor and dearly loved her friends. Susan is survived by her children, Stephanie (Brendan) Reagan of Cazenovia, Rebekah (Kurt) Wheeler of Cazenovia, Benjamin (Erin) Craig of Ada, MI, and Andrew (Priscilla) Craig of East Greenbush, N.Y.; her sister, Linda Richardson of Ringwood, NJ; 12 grandchildren, Grace (Peter), Bella, Clara, Faith, Elizabeth, Gabriel, Ella, Addison, Emet, Victor, Leon and Evangeline as well as several nieces and nephews.

The new Emergency Department of Community Memorial Hospital.

Community Memorial Celebrates Organizational Growth [Hamilton, NY] As 2023 is bid farewell and the new year is welcomed in, the Community Memorial (CMH) healthcare network takes stock of a year marked by remarkable progress, celebrating significant advancements in both patient care and the addition of new medical staff.

December 2021. With additional treatment space and reduced wait times compared to other regional hospitals, the ER serves patients 24/7, offering a seamless transition for those requiring admission to the hospital or transfer to a tertiary facility for higher acuity care.

Responding to the growing demand for specialized care within the community, the organization welcomed three new practitioners to its expanding orthopedic practice. Dr. Richelle Takemoto joined the team in March 2023, followed by Dr. Kamaljeet Banga and Physician Assistant Frank Walczak in the last quarter of the year. With the new team, CMH required additional patient care space to accommodate the growing practice. With this, a state-of-the-art orthopedic practice is slated to open on the hospital campus in the former Mid-York Building, which is scheduled for early 2024. This facility will also host visiting specialists, including Dr. Nicholas Qandah, who specializes in neurosurgery, as the Community Memorial Leadership Team actively recruits other essential providers to meet the diverse needs of patients.

“In looking back at 2023, every provider and staff member should take immense pride in the strides we have taken as a team,” remarked Jeff Coakley, President and CEO. “Amidst change and expansion lies remarkable opportunity, and our dedicated medical team has risen to the occasion, diligently working towards our shared mission of delivering topnotch care to every patient. As we embrace the promise of 2024, our leadership team is taking our momentum into the development of even more services to bring care to patients in Hamilton and surrounding communities.”

In addition, the Cardiology Department at the Hamilton Family Health Center welcomed Nurse Practitioner Sherri Loucks to join Dr. Avneet Singh and Nurse Practitioner Shelby Sharp in response to the increasing demand for cardiac care. General Surgeon Dr. Gregory Ripich expanded services at both the Hamilton and Cazenovia Family Health Centers, introducing a new vein ablation procedure. Dr. Ripich continues to be a valuable asset to the CMH medical staff, streamlining local patient care. Community Memorial’s primary care division was thrilled to announce the addition of Nurse Practitioner Kelly North and Doctor of Nursing Practice Michele BrennanVuocolo to the medical staff, both now caring for patients at the Morrisville Family Health Center. North also became an integral part of the Urgent Care team in Hamilton during the latter half of the year. Additionally, Dr. Isiah Hammonds, who is experienced in internal medicine, is set to join the primary care team in early 2024, adding valuable expertise to the organization. Finally, the Emergency Department of Community Memorial witnessed record patient visit volumes, continuing a trend since the opening of the new and expanded space in

For more information about the new medical staff providers, primary care, specialty services, and more, please visit www.communitymemorial.org.

A new year

By the time readers get their papers we will be in 2024. It is not uncommon for people to see the start of a new year and wonder what happened to the previous year. There are times, particularly like New Year’s Day, when we take the time to reflect and look back and it can seem like time, a year, 365 days, have all flown by all too fast. We may stop and wonder how that happened, how did that time go by so fast and what was I doing? In some ways it is easy to understand. We all know how busy life gets with work, children and all the myriad responsibilities that we all face in our day to day lives. The start of a new year can be a time to see the imperfections of the previous year, but it is also a time that presents an opportunity. Perhaps the most important is the opportunity to focus on the positive and the possibilities as we being 2024. With this in mind, a common resolution in the new year is to make more time to enjoy the little things and to try to enjoy and appreciate things and be more in the moment. While it can be viewed as an arbitrary date on the calendar, we do place a special emphasis on the new year and the chance to make some changes and improvements as the new year presents us with a clean slate so to speak. There is of course the actual rejuvenation that is taking place. It is painstakingly slow, but each day is getting a little longer and the sun will be in the sky more and more as we get one step closer to the spring each day. But it is a more metaphorical emphasis we tend to place on the new year. It is often a time to make a fresh start, make some changes, hopefully changes for the better, and the new year give us that little push we need to take that first step. With a new year comes new hope and new possibilities and something of a fresh start, a time to put an emphasis on those personal objectives and really try to get to make the changes we want to see in our lives. While there is never a bad time to decide to make some positive changes in your life, whether it is the new year or not, if this time serves as inspiration grab this opportunity. If you have decided it is time to exercise more, be more active, eat healthier, quit smoking or some other bad habit, travel more, make more time for family, become more involved in community organizations, use this inspiration for all it is worth and put your plans in motion. Statistics say only about eight percent of people keep their resolutions and 80 percent or more resolutions are broken by February. There is no doubt that change can be difficult and challenging and there will be setbacks and limitations, even for the best intended changes. But as cliché as it is, the journey of a thousand miles does start with just one step, and gradually one step will follow the other and with a little luck you will find yourself making the changes you want in your life. We hope your 2024 is off to a good start and the year will bring you much joy and happiness and you will find what you need to make the changes and live the life you want in the new year.

Walking has Ann Ferro my ever-growing list become a feat (not feet) of groceries needed to of almost legerdemain complete my ever-growing list of for me.

There are times when you know that you should intervene, that it would be the right thing to do but then ... I noticed that he was having a problem. The elderly gentleman, about the same age as myself, was trying to pick up a cucumber that had escaped from the vegetable bin at Nojaims. Holding on to his cart in which one could easily see his cane, the fellow’s hand was visibly shaking as he pushed himself to stretch a bit further toward the floor so that he could grab the escaped cucumber.

There we would be two old folks on the floor while wellmeaning store personnel and shoppers tried to help us as more cucumbers and some loosely organized peppers tumbled off the bins because of the vibrations. I could ask if the gentleman needed help. Yes, I could do that. He might say, “No, thanks. I’ve got this,” or he might reply in the affirmative which would mean that we would have to negotiate how this help would happen as we blocked the aisle with our

Madison County landfill

To the editor: I’ve recently engaged with various individuals, including former and current members of the Madison County Board of Supervisors, as well as concerned citizens, regarding the proposed public-private partnership involving Casella Waste Systems Inc. for the operation of the Madison County landfill. Having shared my perspectives and pertinent information with the Madison County Board of Supervisors, I’m pleased that the decision regarding the partnership has been prudently postponed until after Jan. 1, 2024. This delay will allow the newly elected board to conduct a thorough assessment of all available options. The Cornerstone study, presented to the Madison County Board of Supervisors, notably underscores the unparalleled value inherent in our county’s landfill. This resource offers an estimated service life of over a century, prompting a critical question: why consider relinquishing this invaluable asset to a private entity for substantial profit when it purpose was originally to serves the needs of all communities within Madison County? The study’s insights on the solid waste industry’s trends in New York State emphasize the declining disposal capacity and the limited capability for expansion. With Madison County possessing one of the few operational municipal solid waste landfills in the state, with significant allowable future capacity, it’s evident that the county harbors a crucial and scarce resource. I strongly believe that alternative avenues exist for securing necessary tonnage and funds through direct arrangements with other municipalities or brokers, potentially stabilizing operations financially for the long term. This approach would avoid the drastic reduction of the landfill’s service life, as proposed in the 25year contract with Casella Waste Systems, which would shorten the life expectancy to a mere 25 years or less. While acknowledging the need for out-ofcounty waste allocation, the proposed 25-year contract, allocating 75 years’ worth of space, seems disproportionate to our county’s actual needs and the inherent value of this resource, as emphasized in the Cornerstone report and Casella’s proposal. The Cornerstone study unequivocally affirms Madison County’s ownership of an exceptionally valuable asset. Therefore, I implore the new Madison County Board of Supervisors to meticulously reconsider any decision that compromises this invaluable resource for future generations of Madison County. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I extend my best wishes to the Board in their decision-making process. James A. Zecca Former Director of Madison County Department of Solid Waste and Sanitation

deliberations. Or I could just push by around him as he struggled or make a sharp turn to the right to enter the next aisle. Nothing like ignoring a problem, hoping it would just go away. But there is always the thought of Sister Mary Robert and her ilk to bring right behavior to the issue. While all of this was filling my brain with “what if ’s,’ a little girl, about 6 or 7 years old ran in front of me, picked up the cucumber and gave it to the struggling man who in turn courteously thanked her and her parents. I just knew that there were those who thought “she (meaning me) should have done something” or, more sadly, have I been relegated to that part of humanity as no longer capable, bordering on the edge of “Poor thing.” Another random thought: Maybe I needed to hydrate so that I could get through the store and purchase the things that I came for. If I could remember them all. Hmmm. I wonder what I would have done if my brain still worked, or if my cane had a sharp point on the end, sharp enough to stab the escaped vegetable.

While still figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up, she lives in Marcellus with lots of books, a spouse and a large orange cat.

Years Ago in History By Cindy Bell Tobey

89 Years Ago – Jan. 4, 1934

The Cazenovia harness horse sportsmen are making plans for the winter’s ice racing card. The schedule of events is incomplete at this date, awaiting weather conditions, and ice formation. It is said that a “try-out” schedule the first of the week was called off because of heavy rains and general thawing conditions. Some of the local sportsmen have been training at the head of the lake the past several weeks. For two years the weather conditions have prevented racing on Cazenovia Lake but the present outlook is favorable for an excellent and safe speedway and these events being scheduled in the near future.

70 Years Ago – Dec. 31, 1953

The third stage of the three-fold plan of development at St. Peter’s Church, expansion and remodeling of the chancel and sanctuary, is well underway with construction scheduled for completion sometime in February. It is hoped that the new organ ordered last year as the second stage of the program, will be ready for installation at that time to complete the plan. When the present work is done the church will have an entirely new sanctuary and chancel, 11 feet deeper and 8 feet wider than before. Twelve feet have been added to the parish house which provides for a new robing room for the choir and storage closets for the robes. There will be two new entrances into the church from the parish house and a new entrance from the sanctuary to the parish house. These entrances are designed to facilitate movement of clergy, acolytes, the choir and processions from the parish house robing rooms to the church and sanctuary.

Engineers from the State Division of Canals and Waterways were unable to open the Mill Street dam lower gates last Thursday as the water level of Cazenovia Lake rose 23 inches above normal. Ordinarily, the gates are opened in November, Donald G.M. Hart, Hickory Lane climatologist told The Republican, but this year they were not. The lake level was as high Thursday as during the Hurricane Agnes floods, and the Pig City creek waters were flowing back into the lake, Mr. Hart said. The gates were frozen when the engineers, summoned by Mr. Hart, arrived in Cazenovia.

Mystic Mountain, a ski area in New Woodstock, has a potential buyer. Michael Spader, of the US Small Business Administration, confirmed last week that the SBA has a contract with someone to buy the ski area of more than 300 acres. “At this time, I can’t talk about the price,” Mr. Spader said. “Once the deal closes, it will be a matter of public record.” He did confirm that the buyer is a man from the Philadelphia area named Justin Green. Mr. Spader said he was not in a position to talk about the deal – and there were some contingencies on it, at this point. Mystic Mountain was offered for sale by the SBA in October 1983. It was the second time in eight years that the SBA has owned Mystic Mountain.

CNYSPCA PET OF THE WEEK

Harry needs a home by Donna Newman photo by Donna Newman

There’s something about Harry! This two-year old bull terrier mix came to the shelter as a stray in August. Bull terriers are described as energetic, exuberant, sweettempered, stubborn, mischievous, trainable, and protective. Like most members of his breed, he’s happy, goofy, has a lot of personality, and will give you endless amusement. He thrives on exercise and affection. He’s a proud member of the doggy playgroup and we think he’ll do well with respectful kids. If you’re looking for a couch potato – keep looking! Harry would do best with an energetic, active owner. But if you’re looking for a friendly, intelligent, playful, and endearing dog who’ll keep you on your toes, Harry’s the dog for you. Once you meet him, there’s no doubt that you’ll be wild about Harry! For more information about adoption, call 315-454-4479, email frontdesk1@cnyspca.org, or visit cnyspca.org.

Boost your mood with fragrant indoor plants There’s no need to visit a spa for a bit of soothing aromatherapy. Grow fragrant plants indoors to improve your mood and promote a sense of relaxation. Gardenias may be the first fragrant flowering plant that comes to mind. They can be challenging but are worth the effort. Grow them in moist acidic soil, in bright light, and surrounded by other plants or on a gravel tray to increase the humidity. Jasmines are known for their sweet fragrant flowers. Arabian jasmine (Jasmine sambac) will flower indoors several times throughout the year if it receives sufficient light. Consider adding artificial lights to boost flowering. Grow this plant in a warm draft-free location and allow the soil to dry several inches below the surface before watering again. Citrus are valued for their fruit, but they also produce fragrant flowers. Give them bright light and keep the soil slightly moist for the best results. Stephanotis floribunda was frequently used in wedding bouquets. Grow it in a sunny window and watch for flowers to appear in spring on new growth. Complete all necessary pruning as soon as the plant stops flowering. Plumeria are the fragrant flowers often used in Hawaiian leis. Provide bright light, moist well-drained soil, and fertilize throughout the summer to promote flowering. Allow the soil to go a bit drier during the winter. Don’t panic if the plants go dormant and drop their leaves in winter. New leaves will appear as temperatures warm. String of pearls (Curio rowleyanus) is

a trailing succulent with leaves that resemble peas. Grow these in a brightly lit location that is a bit cooler in the winter. This along with slightly drier soil in winter can promote flowering. Its cinnamon fragrance is one you’ll remember. Another succulent that may reward you with flowers is hoya. Keep the soil a bit moister during the summer when the plant is actively growing. Allow the soil to dry slightly when the plant is resting during the winter. High humidity in spring and summer followed by cooler temperatures and drier soil in winter will encourage potbound plants to flower. Watch for fragrant flowers to form on the long leafless stems. Give the leaves of scented geranium (Pelargonium) a pet and enjoy the lemon, rose, apple, peppermint, or pine fragrance. Although grown for their scented foliage they also produce pretty but less showy flowers. Place the plants in areas where you brush past the leaves or can easily give them a pat to release and enjoy the fragrance. Find a cool spot in your home away from drafts of hot and cold air for your lavender plant. Make sure the plant receives plenty of sunlight from a southfacing or similar window. Consider adding artificial lights to increase your success. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Pour off any excess water that collects in the saucer. Visit your local independent garden center or reputable online plant retailers that are more likely to sell these in winter. Then clear out some space on a sunny windowsill or invest in a few plant lights and start growing some fragrant plants.

Caz wrestlers take defeat to J-E by Phil Blackwell

roster cost the Lakers in a 54-24 defeat where, six different times, Cazenovia had to forfeit, a total of 36 points going to the Eagles without a challenger. Much of this happened after Cazenovia got all of its success, as in the 152pound opener Broden Enders stepped up and, 28 seconds into the second period, pinned Adam Del-

Costello. Then the Lakers made it 12-6 when, at 160 pounds, Bryce Enders took just 53 seconds to pin Roman Wilson. J-E claimed the next two bouts, but Cazenovia had an answer. Evan Rice won at 215 pounds, his pin of Ethan Youngs taking just 99 seconds, and at 285 pounds

Luther Dannon earned his pin over Noah White with 37 seconds left in their bout. From there, though, it was all Eagles, who erased the Lakers’ 24-18 lead with four forfeits and three pins before Cazenovia headed to last week’s Windsor Christmas Tournament.

Moesch scores 55 in Bears’ double-OT loss to J-D by Phil Blackwell

bers in December, peaking with a 48-point effort in a win over Auburn. Here, he was even better. Almost by himself, and despite playing with an illness, Moesch willed the Bears to overcome the 57-44 lead which J-D had steadily built through the first three quarters. And it kept going, through one four-minute OT period and then another, only ending when Moesch had set a Chittenango school record by netting 55 points – 20 field goals (two of them 3-pointers) and 13 successful free throws, to go with five rebounds, five assists and five

What is proving the constant theme for the Chittenango boys basketball team in the 2023-24 season is that Ryan Moesch is capable of extraordinary things, but still needs help in order to succeed. No game better illustrated this duality than the Dec. 22 clash with Jamesville-DeWitt where Moesch had one of the best single-game totals in recent Central New York annals – and the Bears still lost 8381 in double overtime to the Red Rams. Moesch had already produced some big num-

steals. Somehow, J-D was able to match, and ultimately, surpass Moesch with a more collective effort since no other Chittenango player even scored in double figures, the closest a sevenpoint showing by Hunter Taylor. Terrell Willis gained 21 points and Jack Hazelton hit six 3-pointers to account for all of his 18 points. Alan Zanders had 12 points. In addition, during the game, Trent Hughes and Eamon Giblin each each ended up earning eight points and the likes of Nate Johnson (seven points) and Bryce Wheeler (six points)

helping, too. Before all this, a couple of other Chittenango teams had their last matches before the holiday break. In boys volleyball, a Bears side which had routed in its Dec. 18 opener met Oneida in a rematch of the 2023 sectional Division I winter final and dominated the Express, winning in just three sets. Chittenango claimed 25-15 wins in both the first and third sets and earned a 25-11 second-set win in between, Cole Thomas setting the tone with six aces to go with 17 assists as Logan Bronner had 11 assists. Micah Granata, earning

nine digs, paced the Bears’ defense, also getting five kills. Jackson Blaszkow also had five kills as part of a balanced effort where Thomas, Quinton Hilliker and Kyle Peryer had four kills apiece, with Jacob Wagner, Ryan Thousand and Rodger Mulhollnad each notching three kills. Meanwhile, in boys bowling Chittenango absorbed a 7-0 defeat to Camden on Dec. 21, the Blue Devils led by Daniel James, who shot a 248 in between games of 201 and 198 for a 617 series. Alex Lallier added a 596 series. Taking a far greater blow in girls basketball, Chit-

tenango lost 92-21 to Cortland, the reigning sectional Class B champions moved up to the Class A ranks this winter. Abby Scheidelman managed 10 points, but no one on the Bears could contain a Purple Tigers attack where five players managed to score in double figures. Kendall Mack, who led Cortland with 20 points, nearly outscored Chittenango by herself. Valerosa Camibtta had 18 points, with Claire Turner getting 17 points, Aubree Larkin earning 12 points and Katherine Harris adding 11 points.

RUMORS…SPAGHETTI…ITALY…

The story..... For the last several years, a man who is a member at a CNY private country club was having an affair with an Italian women who was working at the club. One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he offered to pay the woman a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. He added, that if she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. The Italian woman agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told the woman to simply mail him a post card and write “Spaghetti” on the back of the card. He then promised he would arrange for child support payments to begin. About 9 months later, he came home one day to his confused wife. “Honey”, she said, “you received a very strange post card today from Italy”. ‘Oh really’, said the gentleman golfer. “May I see the card”? His

Perry Noun is the former executive director of the Northeastern NY PGA as well as a competitive amateur golfer and winner of the New York State Super Senior Amateur Championship. Perry Noun can be heard on “Tee Time With The Pronoun” on... News Radio 570 WSYR and 106.9FM.

wife gave him the card and watched as her husband...read the card...turned white... and fainted. On the card was written..... SPAGHETTI, SPAGHETTI, SPAGHETTI!!! TWO WITH MEATBALLS, ONE WITHOUT. PLEASE SEND EXTRA SAUCE. Unfortunately, I was not able to verify the story for my friend in Florida. If anyone “CAN” verify the story, please contact me at your earliest convenience. Moral of the Story: All golfers, both male and female, are notorious for spreading rumors. Whether the rumor is true or false doesn’t matter. They will literally do anything to disrupt the mind-set of their next league opponent or weekend match to win. Regardless of why or how the rumor got started, what matters is how we handle it. Here are a few suggestions from CLEVERISM… 1. Stay Calm and Practice Damage Control. 2. Act Confident. 3. Communicate with Everyone. 4. Clarify Your Position Using Facts 5. Set Positive Examples It may not be possible for us to avoid getting in the middle of a “golf rumor” but if these suggestions fail…don’t get mad… GET EVEN! BEAT THEM…ON THE GOLF COURSE!

Last week I received an e-mail from a “gentlemen golfer” who is spending the Winter in Florida with his wife. This particular “gentlemen golfer” has a life long reputation of being trustworthy with impeccable character and therefore, I had no reason to believe he would send me anything but reliable information about a fellow CNY golfer we both know. The information, if made public, would be damaging to his family and also to the other person who was involved and who would certainly lose her job if the information were true. He asked me to verify the story before he took official action with the Board of Governors of the CNY private country club, whose location was to remain confidential. I told him I would do what I could to verify the story. No names will be used to protect the innocent.
