Villageamends B-1 zoning Community Bank, Caz student-athletes help kick off the Empire State Winter Games Will allow first-floor residential off side streets By David Tyler
KATE HILL
On Jan. 31, Community Bank Cazenovia and the Cazenovia High School indoor track teams participated in the 44th Empire State Winter Games Torch Relay. By Kate Hill Staff Writer Last week, Community Bank Cazenovia and the Cazenovia High School (CHS) indoor track teams helped kick off the 44th Empire State Winter Games (ESWG) by participating in an Olympic-style torch relay. Over the course of five days, the games’ two torches traveled along two routes through New York State to Lake Placid to light the cauldron for the opening ceremony on Thursday, Feb. 1. Along the way, the torch stopped at select Community Bank branches, including Cazenovia. On Wednesday, Jan. 31, the following members of the CHS Varsity Girls and Boys Indoor Track teams formed Cazenovia’s leg of the ESWG Torch
Relay: seniors Zoey Gagne, Dinah Gifford, Margaret Huftalen, Reid McMurtrie, Meghan Mehlbaum, Connor Frisbie, and Eddie Comeau; juniors Lucy Bliss, Avery Cashatt, Susie Pittman, Olivia Ruddy, Jaden Kaplan, and Finn Worthington; sophomores Becca Brooks, Lily Kogut, Maeve McGreevy, Maura Phillips, Tristan Field Bradley, and Caleb Gilmore; and freshman Olivia Dorus, Ava Eno, Ella Gale, Eliza Huftalen, Caroline Mehlbaum, Olivia Puffer, Jake Woolbert, and Jonas Putnam. The torch, which is a symbol of unity and athleticism, was presented to the studentathletes by Doug Bush, whose company, Endurancefactor, was asked to help coordinate the western part of the ESWG Torch Relay. Led by Girls Indoor Track Assistant Coach Kalin Merk-
ley and accompanied by an ESWG Torch Relay vehicle, the student-athletes ran the torch from CHS on Emory Avenue to Community Bank on Albany Street, where they were greeted by bank employees, given the chance to take
photos with the torch, and treated to hot chocolate and donuts. According to Varsity Girls Indoor Track Coach Kurt Wheeler, the indoor track program has been serving as a leg Torch l Page 4
The Cazenovia Village Board has amended its zoning in the B-1 district, potentially paving the way for a new project along the village’s Albany Street commercial district. The village’s B-1 district borders Albany Street from Park Street to Allen Street on the south side and from the firehouse to Sullivan Street on the north side. The code in that zone previously outlawed residential uses on the first floor of buildings within that zone. The local law passed on Monday, Feb. 5 creates an exception for corner lots within the B-1 district that have frontage on both Albany Street and an intersecting street. Within a mixed commercial/residential use occupancy building at such a location, dwellings would be permitted on the ground floor within the portion of the building that fronts on the intersecting street and is situated more than 60 feet from the street line of Albany Street. In such instances, the residential dwelling space would require a dedicated primary entrance facing the intersecting street in question, the proposed local law states. The change to the zoning should have little effect on the village’s core historic commercial stretch on Albany Street. Residential uses will still be prohibited on the first floor of buildings in the district with entrances off Albany Street, unless there is a separate entrance to a residential portion of the building off an intersecting street. “We don’t want somebody living in a storefront,” said Mayor Kurt Wheeler. The project site is anticipated to include 99 Albany St., which is the former Napa store; 103 Albany St., which is a former gas station; and the blue house behind those buildings on Center Street. The properties, which are all in the B-1 district, are owned by Michael and Jacqueline Silberberg, of Berkley Properties, LLC. Wheeler said last month that although there have only been informal discussions and requests for feedback on the project so far, the village anticipates receiving a formal application “any month now.” The expectation is that the developer will propose a first-floor commercial use facing Albany Street and a first-floor residential use for the back side of the building to reduce the Village l Page 13
‘Caz Cooks’ club brings together home cooks, cookbook enthusiasts By kate Hill Staff Writer
Since December 2022, the “Caz Cooks” cookbook club at the Cazenovia Public Library (CPL) has been bringing together community members with common interests in cookbooks and trying out new recipes. Typically, the group meets on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss and sample recipes from a particular cookbook. In preparation for the get-together, each member makes a dish from the cookbook at home to share with the group. The club was started by part-time CPL staff member Debora Millson,
who said she was inspired by her love of looking through cookbooks. “At a typical meeting, we sit in a circle and talk about what was made, if it was liked, if the ingredients were hard to find, [and] if spouses and children gave it a thumbs up,” Millson said. “It is interesting [to] find out what recipes were successful and what were total flops.” The club’s first book was “Barefoot Contessa, How Easy Is That?” by Ina Garten. Since then, the group has explored such books as “Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove Cookbook,” “Half Baked Harvest” by Tieghan Gerard, “Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats,” and “Endless Summer Cookbook” by Katie Lee.
“In November, we did ‘Make it Ahead’ by the Barefoot Contessa since we were coming up on the holidays and we could test recipes to make ahead for holiday family gatherings,” said Millson. “Carriage Barn Books donated some of their unsold cookbooks after their big summer sale, and I used those for our October and December meetings. We did a mystery cookbook in October where I wrapped a cookbook, and you took it on your way out or picked one up from the circulation desk. In December, we played a game [where members] could steal each other’s cookbooks [like in] a Secret Santa exchange.” According to Millson, the club has Cook l Page 3

Years Ago in History By Cindy Bell Tobey
70 Years Ago – Feb. 4, 1954
On Tuesday morning a truck with horn sounding careened through Albany Street in Cazenovia village and overturned at the Forman Street curve, rolling off the road and almost up to the fence of Lakeland Park. The truck, carrying a six-ton bulldozer, was owned and operated by Francis M. Hill of Oxford. He was on his way to Ithaca when the truck went out of control after the brakes failed coming down the hill on Route 20 east of the village. The gears locked in neutral, and the truck went through Albany Street at a great speed, finally overturning when the driver tried to make the turn at the lake and the weight of the bulldozer shifted. Mr. Hill was uninjured but was treated for shock by Dr. S. H. Raymond.
45 Years Ago – Feb. 7, 1979
Candles will twinkle on the Village streets each night during the1979 Cazenovia Winter Festival of winter sports, music, food and entertainment that begins Thursday. Among the special events is the Civic Appreciation Award luncheon at the Lincklaen House honoring Felice Tierney, librarian at the Cazenovia Public Library. Activities during the four-day celebration of winter will include a concert by the Cazenovia High School State Band directed by Joe Procopio, ice fishing, ice hockey, skating, skiing, sleigh rides, outdoor square dancing, a “Winter Disco” Festival Ball, an art show by local amateur and professional artists, snow sculpture, sports car racing on the lake, pancakes, lasagna, chili, hot cider, a Klondike Derby, and a special showing of “Downhill Racer.”
30 Years Ago – Feb. 9, 1994
A ceremony to dedicate the additions and alterations to the Green Street School will be held at 7 p.m. tonight in the new Green Street gymnasium. Approved by district voters in November of 1991 as part of an overall school facility improvement plan, the changes at the Green Street School include five new classrooms, two music practice rooms, new library, district administration offices, a two station gymnasium with locker rooms and renovated classrooms for special education and remedial services for pupils. Renovations to the restrooms, all hallways, additional student lockers, new lighting and upgraded smoke and fire alarm systems were also included in the project.
15 Years Ago – Feb. 4, 2009
An exhibit by the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum will be at the New Woodstock Free Library Feb. 1 through Feb. 28, with a special Lincoln’s birthday celebration. Refreshments will be served in honor of Lincoln’s 200 th birthday that day. The Peterboro based National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum is presenting the exhibit at New Woodstock as part of its mission “to establish and maintain a History Museum and a Hall of Fame devoted to the abolition of slavery and to the unfinished abolitions of slavery in our country.” The Hall of Fame and Museum was formed five years ago and chartered by the New York State Education Department, with the goal of “commemorating the work of the past, honoring men and women of the 19th century struggle to end all slavery and to spearhead a 21st century effort to defeat all slavery and racism.”

Hoffman Falls Wind LLC – Hoffman Falls Wind Project Madison County, New York 3-DAY NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE AN APPLICATION Hoffman Falls Wind LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Renewables Inc. (“Hoffman Falls Wind” or “the Applicant”) is proposing to construct the Hoffman Falls Wind Project, a utility-scale wind energy generation facility with up to 100 megawatts (“MW”) in generation capacity in the Towns of Fenner, Nelson, Eaton, and Smithfield, Madison County, New York (the “Facility”). This notice announces that on or about February 12, 2024, Hoffman Falls Wind will file an Application with the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (“ORES”), pursuant to Section 94-c of the New York State Executive Law (“the 94-c Process”), seeking a Siting Permit from ORES authorizing the construction and operation of the Facility. The 94-c Process has been implemented by rules enacted by ORES and establishes a review process with uniform standards and conditions for all renewable energy projects. The uniform standards and conditions are available at 19 NYCRR 900.6 and www.ores. ny.gov/regulations. The Facility is proposed to include up to 24 wind turbines, as well as an associated underground medium voltage collection system, a permanent meteorological (MET) tower, an aircraft detection lighting system (ADLS), temporary construction laydown areas, a temporary concrete batch plant, a medium voltage-to-transmission voltage collection substation, a point of interconnection (POI) switchyard, a short 115- kilovolt (kV) gen-tie line that will connect the Facility to the high voltage electrical grid, gravel access roads, and an operations and maintenance (O&M) building. The Facility will interconnect to the New York power grid via a point of interconnection (POI) switching station that will connect to the existing Fenner-Cortland 115-kV transmission line, owned, and operated by National Grid. More information on the proposed Facility can be found on the project’s dedicated website (https://liberty- renewables.com/hoffmanfallswind/). The Facility is a zero-emission wind energy facility that will assist the State in meeting the goals of the Climate Leadership and Protection Act and State Energy Plan, which includes obtaining 70% of energy generation from renewable sources by 2030 and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Other positive impacts of the Facility include the creation of full-time equivalent construction jobs; local spending on accommodations, dining, and other local services during the construction and installation period; payments to landowners; increased revenues to the Towns, County and School Districts; and bill credits paid directly to residential electric customers in the host municipality; and the generation of enough electricity to power approximately 17,968 homes annually, helping New York State to become energy independent. In addition, Hoffman Falls Wind has attempted to minimize impacts associated with the Project, for example, by limiting the disturbance to forested lands, wetlands and streams, and threatened and endangered species to the maximum extent practicable. Hoffman Falls Wind will submit an Application for a Siting Permit that includes extensive studies evaluating the potential impacts associated with the Facility and identified methods which have been agreed to be implemented to avoid, minimize, and mitigate potential impacts. No sooner than three days before the Application is filed, an additional notice will be published announcing the anticipated filing of the Application. This notice is being provided in accordance with 19 NYCRR 900-1.3(d) and is being published at least 60 days prior to the filing of the Application. Pursuant to 19 NYCRR 900-5, Hoffman Falls Wind will submit with the Application $1,000 dollars for each MW of capacity for local agencies and potential community intervenors, which for this project, totals $100,000.00. Any local agency or potential community intervenor can submit a request to the Office for funding within thirty (30) days of the date of the application filing. By regulation, 75% of the local agency account funds shall be reserved for local agencies. Intervenor requests may be made by mail to the Office of Renewable Energy Siting, Attention: Local Agency Account Funding Request (Matter No. 23-00038), c/o OGS Mailroom, Empire State Plaza, 240 State Street, P-1 South, J Dock, Albany, NY 12242, or by email to hearings@ ores.ny.gov, Subject line “Local Agency Account Funding Request (Matter No. 2300038).” Further details regarding the Project and updates on the Application will be provided on https://liberty- renewables.com/hoffmanfallswind or the ORES website, https:// ores.ny.gov/permit-applications under Matter No. 23-00038.

On Jan. 31, Community Bank Cazenovia and the Cazenovia High School indoor track teams participated in the 44th Empire State Winter Games Torch Relay.
Torch
From page 1 of the ESWG Torch Relay for about eight to 10 years. “We are so lucky that [the torch’s] path goes through Cazenovia,” said senior Meghan Mehlbaum, who also participated in the relay her sophomore year. “If we were even just a little l
bit north or west or east, we wouldn’t get to [participate]. It’s so fun that we get to be on the journey of the torch. And we get free shirts.” The CHS students, ESWG helpers, and Community Bank staff were joined at the post-run celebration by 11-year-old figure skater Jillyan Strain, who was looking forward to competing
for the Clinton Figure Skating Club in the 2024 ESWG over the weekend. Strain is the niece of Community Bank Cazenovia Branch Manager Heather Russell. Community Bank was the title sponsor for the games this year. From Friday, Feb. 2 through Sunday, Feb. 4, an estimated 2,500 athletes ages
8-80 competed in more than 20 winter sports, including hockey, speedskating, ski orienteering, bobsled, and alpine skiing. The ESWG is the largest Olympic-style winter sporting event in the Northeast for all ages and abilities. For more information, visit empirestatewintergames.com

CNY Folksmarch coming to Minoa this weekend By Jason Klaiber Staff Writer
Chilly weather notwithstanding, the recreational club CNY Folksmarch is welcoming walkers of all ages to get their steps in and join them in the village of Minoa this weekend. Those who take part can choose to walk on either Saturday, Feb. 10 or Sunday, Feb. 11, depending on which day is preferred. Participants are urged to sign in and sign out between 9 a.m. and noon if they decide to walk on Saturday or between 1 and 3 p.m. on Sunday if they pick that day, so the organizers can keep track of the amount of people showing up. Not everyone, however, needs to start walking right at 9 a.m. Saturday morning or 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon, and they can feel free to walk as fast or as leisurely as they wish. This weekend’s stroll in Minoa will start at Northbound Mind + Body Shop at 116 N. Main St., which will turn one of its rooms into a registration location with an information table. There will be onstreet parking by the shop and in the nearby municipal lot. Walkers are encouraged by the organization to browse around Northbound with its tea bar, selec-
tion of scented candles, books of affirmations and meditation cushions and to support other Minoa businesses like Trappers II Pizza & Pub across the street. The casual walk will then go north down Main Street and through the residential neighborhoods of the village before eventually leading back to the starting place. As long as they clean up after them, people are allowed to bring their dogs on leashes, but not inside Northbound. To cover the cost of supplies and other expenses involved with running its events 12 times a year in different locations—typically the second weekend of every month, as is the case this time—the nonprofit CNY Folksmarch Inc. asks adults who register to pay a fee of $4, while it’s $1 for kids ages six to 18 and free for children five and under or firsttime folksmarchers. All who register will also receive a commemorative, collectible pin. Annual passes are $40, and they include 12 pre-paid walks for the cost of 10 full-priced walks. The passes also come with a yearly passport card for recording completed walks and total kilometers or miles, which would be $10 to purchase otherwise. Picking up an annual pass or a folded, stampable passport on its
own makes the buyer a member of the nonprofit with the right to vote at its annual meetings. In both cases, they are also sent online copies of the monthly CNY Folksmarch newsletter. For each month’s walk, a 5K route is defined on the maps given to each participant and marked by orange directional tags on the path, but if anyone doesn’t want to walk the full distance, they don’t have to. Instead, they can follow an adjusted one-mile walk outlined for them. Also, if someone is in the mood to walk the length of a 10K, they can always walk the 5K route twice. Patterned after and named in reference to German volksmarching, the Folksmarch program in Central New York began in 1981 under the leadership of the YMCA of Greater Syracuse, thanks to “founding father” Walt Price and his wife, Peg, and, in 2017, the monthly tradition evolved into its own independent organization that exists to this day. At 92, Walt Price still takes part in the walks when he can. Adria Ripka, a folksmarcher since the early days in the 1980s who calls herself a “lifer,” said the year-round walking group provides the impetus for people to leave the house for exercise at least one weekend a month, perhaps to visit a place
they’ve never been before. “It’s something you put on your calendar and then you’re gonna do it,” said Ripka, the organization’s volunteer publicity coordinator. “We’re not offering a race, and we’re not a competition. It’s just to get out and walk, enjoy the scenery and fresh air, experience different localities, and maybe meet some new friends.” The walking group goes all over and within 30 miles of Central New York. For the winter months, the organization tries to seek out flatter, more accessible terrain in easy-tonavigate places that wouldn’t likely be very icy, Ripka said. The turnout varies depending on the weather, she added, but she said she can count on a steady flow of 40 or more longtime folksmarchers to come out, with their umbrellas if they have to, all ready to brave the conditions. The monthly folksmarch rarely if ever gets canceled, unless there’s a full-blown dangerous storm brewing, she said. This past December, CNY Folksmarch had its walk in downtown Syracuse so people could see the festive decorations, and in January attendees walked the floors of Destiny USA from end to end with a choice to hike the Onondaga Creekwalk not far from the shopping mall.

Community art showcased at CLD&J through Feb. 23 By Jason Klaiber Staff Writer
The Community Library of DeWitt & Jamesville is holding a community art showcase in its Wendy Scott Art Gallery until Friday, Feb. 23. With light refreshments served in one of the community rooms, an opening reception from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 1, allowed the participating artists to invite their family and friends to be the first to see their work on display. One of the artists, Adriana Becker, said her acrylic piece, titled “Mother Nature,” was inspired by the perfection and divine presence she sees in nature and the new life constantly produced around the world. Becker, a DeWitt resident,
said that when she started painting her piece she became fascinated with sketching birch trunks because of their unique, white hues. Suddenly she saw an eye inadvertently created in her piece and decided to incorporate birds because she always appreciated their joyful singing, later turning a section of the piece into a shape that resembles the beak of a toucan. To add balance to its composition, she then added a free-spirited, “wild” woman inspired by Mother Nature that she colored red to symbolize vibrancy and lifeblood. Becker said she started painting as a hobby during the height of the COVID pandemic and became immersed in primary colors. She said she’s “very excited” to have her art featured in the library at 5110 Jamesville Road and
that she’s interested in hearing what people think once they see it, especially with this being her first time showing her artwork in a public exhibition. Syracuse resident Sarah Reynolds is another artist who has her work up at the library. Her piece, called “Parts of Me,” is a mixture of poetry and several layers of paint that surround the boxes of words. Reynolds said the message of her piece is that everyone has parts of themselves they aren’t as fond of that they wish to suppress or change, but that we all need to accept who we are and not get so down on ourselves. “I was wanting to express my deep belief that we’re all just doing our best,” she said. “I want to encourage people to meet themselves where they’re at. Unconditional love
for yourself can go a long way, because then it domino effects to other people.” Because “Parts of Me” conveys that people should embrace their faults, Reynolds said she wanted it to come through in her piece that the base for it was done slightly messily by her daughter back when she was a toddler. Reynolds said it was her first time showcasing her artwork in the library’s gallery also. She said she enjoys being able to express a sense of vulnerability as well as her feelings about how people should carry themselves as they go about their lives. In all, there are 10 pieces by 10 different local artists being shown in the art gallery on the library’s main level. Kelly Novak, an adult services specialist at the library who helped to put the show-
case together, said she likes seeing interests and thoughts of the community reflected in a range of artistic mediums and styles. “I think it’s fantastic that people want to share with their community their perspectives and their visions and their creativity,” Novak said. “It’s really great that libraries now are a space where we can bring people together in more ways than just taking out books.” The community art showcase also features a painting of a frog on a fingertip by Kat Molina; a liquid watercolor piece by tattoo apprentice Courtney Kain; printed images by Jeb Loomis; a Posca marker piece by Isabella Loomis that quotes Psalm 120:1; a circular copper and enamel glass work by Pam Steele; an untitled piece by

information
It is increasingly common many of us do our banking and pay our bills online. In some instances out of convenience and in some cases because that is the way many businesses are heading, offering only online options to make payments. And this time of year, many will be doing their taxes online as well. While many of us can appreciate the ease and convenience of using these options, likely we all harbor a few concerns about how safe our information is and if it is vulnerable to hackers. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, the Office of Information Technology Services, Department of Financial Services, the Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection, and the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services encouraged New Yorkers to take a proactive approach to ensure their private information is secure online and at home. To keep personal information and data safe, the New York State agencies are partnering to share these tips: Be wary of unsolicited emails and telephone calls asking for personal information. Never share personal information, such as your Social Security number, in response to an unsolicited email or telephone call. If the email or call claims to be from a company with which you do business, call it first to confirm the contact is legitimate. Secure your mobile devices. Apply software updates that patch known vulnerabilities as soon as they become available. Use security features built into your device such as a passcode and use programs that encrypt data and remotely wipe contents if the device is lost or stolen. Be careful with Wi-Fi hotspots. Public wireless hotspots are not secure, which means that anyone could potentially see what you are doing on your mobile device while you are connected. Limit what you do on public Wi-Fi and avoid logging into sensitive accounts. Know your apps. Thoroughly review the details and specifications of an app before you download it. Review and understand the privacy policy of each mobile app. Be aware that the app may request access to your location and personal information. Be cautious about the information you share on social media. Avoid posting your birthdate, telephone number, home address, or images that identify your job or hobbies. This information may often reveal answers to security questions used to reset passwords, making you a possible target of scammers looking to access your accounts and secured information. Use strong passwords. Create different passwords for all your accounts. Use 10 to 12 characters in a combination of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and symbols. Individuals should regularly change their passwords as well. Change your security questions. Don’t use the same security questions on multiple accounts. Be careful to select security questions for which only you know the answer. Make sure the answers cannot be guessed or found by searching social media or the internet. Turn on two-step verification to access accounts. To enhance the security of your account, require your password and an extra security code to verify your identity whenever you sign-in to your accounts, where available. Beware of phishing. Do not click on links, download files or open attachments in emails from unknown senders. It is best to open attachments only when you are expecting them and know what they contain, even if you know the sender. Access more information on phishing from the Office of Information Technology Services YouTube page.

Many good people
To the editor: Neighbors: Over the years I’ve realized how easy it is to write about things that seem out-of-line, just plain bad, and I’m guilty of having done so. In that category, I put the many assertions that people need to be just plain nicer like we once were. That would take a much closer look at how nice we were then compared to how we are now. Such analysis would need to be empirically sound, not just on fantasizing about the “good old days.” Think about it. Would you have had it better than now? Having, in my dotage, ending up with two bad knees and constant vertigo, I’ve concluded there are very many “nice,” thoughtful people. I’ve come to realize I’m a cripple or put in today’s language, I’m disabled, not able to use my hands or knees like “normal, and I have constant vertigo. I’ve also come to appreciate how many nice, caring people, of all ages, there are. Drop my cane, they are there to pick it up. Try stepping up a curb or using stairs they are there to hold my arm. If I struggle to get up or need to cross a room to get something, there is help. These folks all do such acts with a smile and a comforting word. Is this an empirical study? No, it is an accumulation of one-plicates in a small community. But they reflect the spirit of community---looking out for one another and they do so with warmth. It strikes me that, putting down teachers and students becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. So, this is just a simple reminder, there are many, many good people out there; give them their due; be kind to all. The Golden Rule arose in many civilizations, including long years before Jesus. With no disrespect meant, we don’t need Ten Commandments, the 5 pillars, or the Torah---keep it simple but direct. Jim Coufal Cazenovia

village. She appreciates its historic nature and envisions melding that with common sense projects that will only enhance its appeal to residents and visitors alike. Sara has a strong managerial background, having guided non-profits to continued success and having run a successful consulting business. She has also kept pace with village initiatives while serving on the village planning board as well as the comprehensive planning committee. All of that is in addition to serving on the town board in a second term where she is currently deputy supervisor. With experience gained from those positions, she will strive to respect what the village offers while bringing fresh ideas to the fore. She will use her expertise in grant writing to bring funds to the Village that will help with needed infrastructure and more park development, for example. She will collaborate openly with surrounding municipalities to best implement the comprehensive plan. She will be open to technology that ensures better communication with businesses and residents. I have had a unique opportunity to observe Sara up close for the past several years, having worked with her on her Town Board campaign and now this campaign. I can attest to the fact that Sara works wholeheartedly when she has a job to do. She listens to all sides. She does her homework on issues. She is truly a public servant who works for all her constituents. Fayetteville would be fortunate to elect her as its mayor and face the future with a leader who has vision and ideas. Roseann D.

Moving elections
To the editor: Advocates of moving Fayetteville Village Elections to November submitted a petition to the village clerk to put a proposition on the ballot for the March 19 election. The proposition asks villagers to consider whether they think it’s a better idea to vote in November. I’m writing to support this change. The idea is simple: Village elections

would be in November, when most elections take place. The board of elections already conducts November elections so there is no extra cost - as there is in March. At a time when assessments (and taxes) are increasing, this is one way to save money. There are several reasons to make this change. First, and most important, voter turnout will be higher. Currently many residents don’t know about the March elections, and turnout is very low (one estimate is that an average of 13% of village eligible actually voted in elections since 2000). We all know about voting in November and turnout is higher. November has the added advantage of voting over 10 days rather than just one day. Absentee ballots postmarked on Election Day are counted in November elections. In March elections only absentee ballots received on Election Day are counted. One third of the 15 villages in the county vote in November, and they have seen an increase in villagers voting in November rather than in March. Second, campaigning is safer in November. There is more opportunity for villagers to talk with candidates. With elections in March, campaigning has to take place when the weather is often bad and the hours of daylight are shortest. Residents are often reluctant to open their doors to talk in the harsh weather. Third, all elections favor incumbents. But March elections, because of the reasons listed above, discourage villagers who might be interested in running. This is one reason why the former mayor was on the board for 24 years, the current deputy mayor for 22 and one trustee for 44 years. Those men took office in their 30s or early 40s. The barriers to today’s 30 and 40 year olds lead to an unbalanced generational perspective. We are missing out on newer skill sets and fresh energy. At a time when voter suppression is a strategy used by some, let’s make sure we take every reasonable step to encourage voting in the Village of Fayetteville.

A balanced discussion
To the editor: The Jan. 31 article “Fayetteville gives statement on request to move elections” reinforces what the Deputy Mayor Michael Small is doing: presenting only one side of a topic that should be a balanced community conversation. I spoke to Mr. Small on Jan. 5 to ask if two villagers, other than me, could address the board at its Jan. 8 meeting. The speakers hoped to begin a conversation on letting voters decide if the village elections should be moved from March to November. They wanted to ask the Board to put a proposition on the ballot for a straight-up yes or no vote by the voters. Mr. Small adamantly refused to let those residents speak, saying the board had talked about the issue in the past and it was not open for discussion. He stated that he would not even consider having a conversation until after the village elections on March 19. But, then, Mr. Small used the Jan. 8 meeting to read off a statement against the idea. The residents prepared to discuss the idea were not in attendance. Why would they be when they were denied an opportunity to address their elected representatives on the topic? It was not on the agenda as we had requested. And then, as the Jan. 31 article describes, Mr. Small read a written statement, again not on the agenda, No opportunity for comment. The board has been against the idea of moving village elections to November historically. It turns out that they do not know why they think what they think and cannot readily justify their position. Only now do they see the need to gather statistics, weigh the pros and cons and consult with the board of election. Those in favor of giving the voters the right to decide know why we think what we think. We have gathered statistics, weighed the pros and cons and consulted with the Board of Elections. We are prepared to have that conversation, but the Board refuses to talk with us. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking toward the deadline for getting the proposition on the ballot for the election on March 19. Mr. Small has been on the board for 22 years. He is against “moving so quickly.” He objects to the topic being brought up so close to the election.

narrative, which undermines what Everyone Else has done, as if their rings aren’t the same as the one Patrick Almighty would get. Which almost makes it preferable if San Francisco to prevail, for you’re almost forced to deal with the collective effort the Niners have put together, getting so close so many times and finally breaking through. John Lynch took over as GM in the Bay Area just when Veach did, in 2017, and hired Kyle Shanahan. What they’ve done together is collect remarkable talent on both sides of the ball, mostly through the draft. George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner- all of them at or close to the best of their position in the NFL, all drafted by Lynch and Shanahan. Free agency brought fullback Kyle Juszczyk. A trade with Carolina brought in the touchdown machine that is Christian McCaffrey.

Football Memories
To the editor: Your recent article about the Cortland State football team was read with much interest. I was a member of the 1947-48 Cortland team. I am now 97 years old. My high school football was at Cazenovia High School. I was discharged from the U.S. Army in 1947 after two years’ duty as a Japanese interpreter in the medical corps with duty in Japan. I reentered Cortland. I had my first taste of college football on the ‘47-48 Cortland Red Dragon team as a quarterback. We played Hartwick College in Oneonta, a night game. When we played the game, Hartwick was the only undefeated, untied and unscored upon college football team in the country. Cortland won (that game) 10-0. I threw the touchdown pass, held the ball for the point after, and held the ball for the field goal in our win. While our celebration was not like winning a “national championship,” we were every excited and happy for “our school.” I have never forgotten that night. My coaching career was at Hamilton Central. Four of our six children attended SUNY Cortland. Three were team captains, one an All-American men’s soccer player. Our daughter is a vice president at Nike in Portland, Oregon. My wife, Trudy Moore, survived Hitler’s Holocaust and we met at Cortland in 1949 and were married 69 years. She deceased in 2020. Best regards and keep writing, Walter S. Moore

CNYSPCA PET OF THE WEEK
Village taxpayers pay extra to have a March election. A proposition on the March ballot is preferable to paying even more for a special election after March 19. Mr. Small was one of the leaders on the petition drive to force a special election on the question of breaking the Town of Manlius into wards. We really do not want a special election in Fayetteville. The months preceding an election are precisely the time to debate ideas. I respectfully request the Eagle Bulletin allow villagers in favor of moving the election equal space in the paper to present our thoughts.

ecently, 11-year-old Cazenovia athlete Christian Choquette was selected to play on a national 11 and under (11U) baseball team at the 3rd Annual Perfect Game East MLK Championship in Fort Myers, Florida. Locally, Choquette plays travel baseball with the Central New York Rawlings Tigers, a baseball and softball club aimed at helping youth and high school players reach the next level of competition. Rawlings is a national brand that has travel teams in over 30 states. According to James Garrett, director of CNY Rawlings Tigers, Choquette has been part of the regional program since its first year in 2022. Garrett said he has viewed Choquette as a team leader and a leader within the
program since day one. “[He’s] always there with a smile and ready to work hard,” he explained. “Christian is a player who uplifts his teammates in times of adversity and celebrates with them in moments of triumph. He always strives to look for improvement in all facets of baseball.” Garrett added that Choquette also shines off the field, maintaining an A average in all his Cazenovia Middle School courses, being dependable, and “always going the extra mile to ensure that he has not missed any details.” Choquette’s CNY Rawlings Tigers 11U team is coached by his father, Kyle Choquette. According to Kyle, players try out for their local travel teams each July. “We have some fall practices then take a break until January,” he said. “We then do winter training into April. We start playing outside as soon as the fields allow us to. We then play games against other local travel teams and play in five tournaments. The season will end for us the second weekend of August.” Players hoping to make the roster of
a Rawlings Tigers National Team must complete an application process that includes submitting videos showcasing their skills in different aspects of the game, such as hitting, fielding, throwing, and pitching. Choquette, who plays center field, catcher, and pitcher, was one of only 11 players from Rawlings teams across the country to be selected for the 11U national team. The Perfect Game East MLK Championship was held Jan. 12-15. The Rawlings Tigers 11U team finished with a record of one win and two losses. Over the course of the weekend, Choquette had a batting average of .400 and an on base percentage of .572. He scored two runs and stole one base. “This was achieved while facing pitchers throwing 67 to 69 miles per hour,” noted Garrett.
According to Kyle, Choquette was also a “jack of all trades” during the tournament, playing six different positions — catcher, left fielder, right fielder, shortstop, second baseman, and third baseman. “It was really cool that I was able to meet people from around the country who love baseball as much as I do,” said Choquette, who hopes to play baseball in college. “Playing on the national team was challenging because it was a different style of baseball; the game was quicker, the pitchers threw harder, and the players were faster.” According to Garrett, one of the advantages of playing for a national organization, such as Rawlings Tigers, is the opportunity for exposure. “There were scouts from colleges present at this tournament, and Louisiana Tech University seemed to be Team l Page 13

Girls indoor Lakers get first league title since 2017 by Phil Blackwell
In a decisive manner, the Cazenovia girls indoor track team began its post-season journey by beating the field in last Wednesday’s Onondaga High School League Division I championships at SRC Arena. By the time the night was done, the Lakers had put up 158 points to top Westhill (125) and 11 other teams for the league title. In doing so, Cazenovia athletes accumulated 13 first team all-league honors and seven second team honors. The win earned Cazenovia its eighth OHSL crown and their first one since 2017. Westhill had nipped the defending Section III Class B-2 champion Lakers five times in a row until the 2024 contest. Izzy Stromer-Galley led the team with three first place finishes, starting out by winning the 55 meter dash in
a career best 7.62 seconds and then winning the 300 meter dash in 44.62. Stromer-Galley also anchored the 4x200 meter relay to victory with a 27.2-second leg. Audie Spring ran her fastest time of 7.84 seconds to score in the 55 while Reid McMurtie (third, 45.78) and Meghan Mehlbaum (fourth, 46.11) were close behind in the 300. Claire Marris, Dinah Gifford and Caroline Mehlbaum also contributed to the winning 4x200, whose 1:53.61 beat out Marcellus’ second-place 1:55.92. Susie Pittman also earned triple league honors, winning the high jump with a career best leap of 5 feet 2 inches and the pole vault with 9’6”. She returned to place second in the triple jump with a season best distance of 34’7 1/2”. Tara Pratt also scored in the pole vault with a personal best height of 7 feet while Marris placed third in the
triple jump at 32’11 1/4”. Maddy Rothfeld was the Lakers’ other individual league champion, winning the shot put with a career best throw of 33’1 1/4”. She also took third in the weight throw with an effort of 35’11 1/2” that tied her own school record in the event. Lily Kogut anchored Cazenovia’s 4x800 meter relay to first place with a personal best leg of 2:35.6. Maura Phillips, Maeve McGreevy and Sally Hughes also contributed to the league championship time of 10:44.71, nearly half a minute ahead of Westhill’s second-place 11:11.22. Kogut (fourth, 3:19.89) and McGreevy (sixth, 3:25.92) also scored in the 1,000 as they backed up Olivia Ruddy’s second team all-league performance of 3:17.97. Ruddy also led the Lakers in the 1,500 with a gutsy 5:26.24 performance for fourth place, with Zoey
Gagne and Abbie Comeau scoring in the event as well. McMurtie scored points in three events, anchoring the 4x400 meter to second team league honors with a 1:02.1 leg and earning allleague in the 600 also with a personal best 1:44.12 second place finish in addition to her 300 meter effort. Phillips also scored in the 600 with a season best time of 1:47.35 and led off the 4x400 with Meghan Mehlbaum and Ava Eno adding to the 4:21.49 performance. Comeau led Cazenovia’s triple score effort in the 3,000 with a third-place time of 11:50.03. Gifford was fourth in 12:00.90 with Haylee Stearns sixth in 12:42.40, all season best times.\ azenovia now advances to the sectional championship meet on Wednesday night where they will battle Clinton for their 10th Class B-2 title since 2011.

Cazenovia boys indoor track dominates OHSL meet by Phil Blackwell
Having emerged victorious in the face of large-school competition throughout the winter, it only figured that the Cazenovia boys indoor track and field team would do the same against its peers - only by bigger margins. The Lakers lapped the field last Wednesday night at SRC Arena to take the Onondaga High School League Division I championship, piling up 138.5 points, well clear of Syracuse’s Institute of Technology Central (64 points) in second and Marcellus (58 points) in third place. In field events, there was Killian Blouin reaching a new personal mark of 11 feet 3 inches winning the pole vault over Marcellus’ Andrew McCaffrey (10’6”) as Caleb Gilmore was third with 9’6” and Charles Wilcox tied for fifth, topping 9 feet. Eliot Comeau cleared 6 feet to win the high
jump as Judah Ossont was fourth with 5’8” and Finn Worthington fifth at 5’6”. Braden Carnahan emerged victorious in the long jump, going 20’1 1/4” as the only competitor to break the 20-foot mark, Connor Frisbie taking third at exactly 19 feet. Again, Cazenovia stood out in relays, starting in the 4x400, where Worthington, Jaden Kaplan, Tristan Field-Bradley and Eliot Comeau would go three minutes, 37.46 seconds to pull away from Marcellus (3:40.86) in the runner-up spot. Then, in the closing 4x200 relay, Worthington and Kaplan were back, this time with Carnahan and Wyatt Scott, as the Lakers posted 1:36.93 and beat out ITC (1:37.43) by half a second. Scott added a fifth in the triple jump with 40’3 1/4”, beating out Frisbie’s sixth-place 39’10”. Jake Woolbert again starred in distance
events, the freshman winning at 1,600 meters as his time of 4:44.36 set a new season mark and held off Westhill’s Edward Popp (4:46.83), with Eddie Comeau fourth in 5:07.01 and Alex Neis eighth in 5:26.14. Also, Woolbert went 10:47.64 for second place in the first race of the meet, the 3,200-meter run, with fellow ninth-grader Will Galton fifth in a season-best 11:13.50. Woolbert, Ethan Camp, Eddie Comeau and Robert Dorus were fourth (9:22.63) in the 4x800 relay. Eliot Comeau contended in the 300-meter dash, his 37.86 seconds just behind the winning 37.57 from ITC’s Demeaco Jefferson. Kaplan earned third place in the 600-meter run in 1:28.53, with Field-Bradley fourth in 1:31.29. Frisbie also took third in the 55-meter hurdles in 8.64 seconds, ahead of Carnahan (8.74) in fourth place as Wilcox was seventh in 9.72. Gilmore got fourth in the 1,000-meter
run in 2:48.42 as he, fifth-place Eddie Comeau (2:53.16) and sixth-place Camp (2:53.74) all had their best times of the winter. Jonathan Sweet earned a sixth-place weight throw of 47’8 3/4” as Ethan Burry (45’9”) was eighth. Chittenango got its best boys finish from Sean Eiffe, fourth in the shot put with a throw of 43’4 1/2”, but it was the girls Bears picking up 23 points to finish seventh in the team standings. Hannah Wagner nearly won the girls 55 sprint, going 7.75 seconds to finish runner-up as she also was sixth in the long jump with 14’8 1/2”. Sophia DiGennaro rose to third place in the 1,000 in 3:19.39 and helped the Bears take third in the 4x800 in 11:15.48. Ava McLean finished fifth in the girls 3,000-meter run in 12:07.52, with Laura Powers eighth in the 1,500 in 5:31.84 and Allie Bartoszek seventh in the triple jump with 29’6”.
Cazenovia ice hockey goes 2-0-1
Enders leads wrestling Lakers at meet
Heading into a busy regular-season homestretch, the Cazenovia ice hockey team knew that it could fall back in the Division I pecking order or make a climb to improve its eventual post-season standing. A memorable Senior Night lat Monday at Morrisville State IcePlex saw the Lakers twice go in front of CNY Fusion (the newly combined Liverpool and Fulton team) and twice get answered, including a late comeback by Fusion that resulted in a 3-3 tie. Cazenovia had 12 shots to Fusion’s one in the opening period, but Trevor Smith stopped all of them, and after Jack Donlin scored 25 seconds into the second period, Cal Brown countered on the very next shift. Early in the third, Rhiley Montoya put Cazenovia back in front. Better yet, on a Fusion power play Shamus Newcomb earned a breakaway for Cazenovia and put it past Smith to make it 3-1 with 5:22 left. However, a five-minute major penalty by the Lakers put Fusion into a man advantage. With 2:16 to play, a goal cut it to 3-2, then, six-on-four after Smith was pulled, Rodman scored with 51 seconds left in regulation. Neither side would convert in overtime Tyler Bertrand, John LaPlante and Evan Haskins also earned assists for Fusion and Smith finished the night with 32 saves, more than twice the 14 from Cazenovia counterpart Tucker Ives. Now it was on to a weekend trip north to face non-league competition, starting
Getting his post-season started on the right note, Broden Enders emerged as the 152-pound champion, highlighting the Cazenovia wrestling team’s appearance in the Onondaga High School League tournament on Jan. 27 at Jordan-Elbridge. Starting his meet in the quarterfinals, Enders pinned Cash Homer (Southern Hills) in 40 seconds, then moved on to a semifinal where he nearly got a technical fall on Marcellus’ Anthony DeCapio in a 15-1 victory. The final, against Phoenix’s Will Burnell, proved much closer, but in six minutes Enders was able to secure a 6-2 decision and, by doing so, improved his season record to 31-3. As a whole, the Lakers finished with 70.5 points, sixth in an eight-team field. Chittenango finished fifth with 99.5 points, the field ultimately chasing Marcellus, who had seven finalists, two champions and won with 179.5 points. Gryphon Foster was Cazenovia’s other finalist, at 101 pounds. Having pinned Chittenango’s Noah Haarman in 73 seconds in the quarterfinals and APW/Pulaski’s Logan Zimmer in the semifinals, Foster ultimately was stopped by J-E’s Mason Tanner in the championship round in a second-period fall. Gabriel Sanchez, edging Phoenix’s Chase Huntley 8-5, finished third at 145 pounds, with Finn Tobin taking third at 170 pounds when he earned a 5-2 decision over J-E’s Drake Allen. Bryce Enders nearly got third place at 160 pounds, only to take a 2-0 defeat to Southern Hills’ Aidan Moltion in the consolation bracket final.

with Plattsburgh on Friday night in a game ruled by defenses until Donlin took over late and carried the Lakers to a 3-0 victory. Two periods passed without a goal on either side. Cazenovia took 25 shots, more than twice Plattsburgh’s total, yet was unable to find the net. A large portion of the third period passed scoreless, too, but Donlin, with 6:31 to play, finally put in the game’s first goal, assisted by Carson Spraker. Then a Lakers power play saw Donlin make it 2-0 with less than four minutes left, and into an empty net Donlin converted a third time for the hat trick. Ezra Stahlberg finished with 18 saves for the shutout. A very different game unfolded Saturday afternoon against Northeast Clinton, but again the Lakers finished on top, this time by a 6-4 margin. Here the Lakers didn’t wait to get on the board, Newcomb feeding Nat Gale for a goal before Donlin struck again, helping to create a 2-1 advantage through one period. Northeast Clinton kept Cazenovia off the board and tied it 2-2, but again in the third the Lakers closed strong, and Henry Miller led the way, hitting on two goals supported by a second goal from Donlin and another from Jack Casey. Having moved to 11-5-1 on the season, Cazenovia meets second-place Rome Free Academy at Kennnedy Arena Tuesday before back-to-back trips to Ontario Bay and Ithaca later in the week that closes the regular season.

Chittenango, for its part, gathered up podium points without an individual title, though Trevor McDonald came close at 116 pounds. McDonald pinned J-E’s Ryan Gibbs and Marcellus’ Kurtis Gardner, the latter of them in 54 seconds, to get to the finals, where another Eagles wrestler, Liam Mantell, prevailed with a second-period fall. To get third place at 285 pounds, Elijah McDonald pinned APW/Pulaski’s Nick Todeschini midway through the second period. Peter Schulz was fourth at 215 pounds. Three other Bears had fifth-place finishes. Norman Coomer got at 170 pounds beating teammate Chris Blair with a third-period pin, while Edward Geer (160) shut out Phoenix’s Leon Smith 8-0 and Casey Silvestro got it at 152 when Ethan Purdy had to take an injury default. During last weekend’s Section III championships, Cazenovia, in the Class C meet at nearby Canastota, earned 98 points and finished eighth in a field headed by Phoenix (173), who edged Adirondack (165) for team honors. And Broden Enders continued his sensational season-long run, winning bouts to reach the finals at 152 and then, against Adirondack’s Braden White, turning back all of White’s challenges to win 3-0. Bryce Enders finished third at 160, pinning Canastota’s Luken Gaiser in the third period of their consolation bracket final, while Foster pinned Zoey Jewett (General Brown) in the second period for fifth place at 101. Riley Fowler was sixth at 190.
Chittenango boys volleyball team still has perfect mark with late season wins by Phil Blackwell
What the Chittenango boys volleyball team proved by sweeping its showdown with previously unbeaten Central Valley Academy on Jan. 26 was that it would take something extraordinary to keep the Bears from sweeping past everyone else, too. Cincinattus couldn’t alter that trend as Chittenango, wasting little time, bashed the Lions 25-5 in each of the first two sets of last Tuesday’s match before taking the third set 25-12. All told, the Bears had 20 aces, four each by Seth Boulter and Will Tedford. Jacob Wagner had three aces to go with his four kills as Kai Streeter stepped up, earning 12 kills, while Micah Granata had five kills and three assists.
Cole Thomas got 10 assists, but Logan Bronner did most of the back-line work, earning 16 assists as Kyle Peryer contributed three kills to the front line. Herkimer was next on Thursday night, with the same lopsided result as Chittenango again stormed to a sweep, handling the Magicians 25-7, 25-9, 25-11. Thomas mixed in eight aces, nine assists and six kills. Bronner, Jackson Blaszkow and Quinton Hilliker had three aces apiece (the Bears had 23 in all), with Wagner also getting six kills and Hilliker adding five kills. Bronner finished with 13 assists as Blaszkow had a team-best six digs. This blitz continued Saturday afternoon at Oneida, with Chittenango sweeping the Express 25-9, 25-16, 25-7 as only the second set featured any sustained
scoring from the opposition. Mulholland and Blaszkow put up eight kills apiece, Blaszkow adding three aces to match Hilliker, who put away seven kills. Thomas also had three aces to complement 29 assists, three kills and three blocks as Andrew Uryniak stepped up with six digs and Ryan Thousand had five kills. Over in girls volleyball, Chittenango had to deal with rebounding from a brutal four-day stretch where it lost consecutive matches to Christian Brothers Academy, East Syracuse Minoa and Camden. The Bears’ recovery began in last Monday’s lopsided 25-13, 25-9, 25-10 sweep of Onondaga where it served up 18 aces against the Tigers, four each by Alex Sylstra and Caroline Porter.
Julia Spencer paced the Bears with seven kills, while Sylstra had four kills to go with 12 assists and eight digs. Sydney Martin added five assists as Stephanie Huckabee got nine digs and Ally Smith also got eight digs. Huckabee and Porter earned three kills apiece. The regular-season finale against Weedsport went a bit longer, Chittenango dropping the second set 25-20 after winning the opener 25-15, but then taking the third and fourth sets by 25-11 and 2518 margins. Sylstra had 14 assists and 16 digs, Martin adding 12 assists. Huckabee stepped up with 10 aces to go with eight kills and 14 digs as Spencer put away 12 kills and Porter had six kills. Smith managed five kills and 13 digs.

Cazenovia girls basketball handles Chittenango by Phil Blackwell
While many other things have gone sideways for the Cazenovia girls basketball team, it still has managed to maintain bragging rights over its neighbors from Chittenango. Confirmation of this was given last Thursday night, when the Lakers made the short trip to “Bear Country”, got off

Definition of “sign”
The law passed Monday night also changes the definition of the term “sign” to read as follows: “Any representation placed to identify, express, advertise or promote the interests of, or portray the intellectual or artistic creation of, any person, business or other entity on a building or structure or by any other means elsewhere on a lot in view of the general public. ‘Representation’ shall include any lettered, pictorial, artistic or graphic matter, including letters, words, symbols, logos, colors, paintings, emblems and insignias, and any background panel, frame, structure, or other material or part thereof which displays such representation. This term shall include all signs.” Wheeler said last month that the

paying attention to Christian and a few others from different age groups,” Garrett said. Another advantage is that Rawlings players and their families are given V.I.P. access to hundreds of online instructional videos created by professional players. Garrett also highlighted the program’s emphasis on teaching integrity, accountability, leadership, and strong character to shape the athletes into well-rounded young men and women. “We want to ensure that when we are helping athletes venture into beginning the college selection process, they stand out as a person, not just as an athlete,” he said. “The issue we see traveling around the country is that youth coaches and families seem to glorify the athlete more than they do the person. College scouts and coaches
to a hot start and never got caught on the way to a 54-38 victory. Combined, the two sides had just five wins going into the game, so whoever could gain an early advantage would find it more pronounced than usual. Cazenovia did this with a potent attack that produced a 19-9 edge by the end of the first quarter, allowing for it to struggle the rest of the half but still lead proposed amendment resulted from a discussion about murals, which he felt were an ambiguous “grey area” as it relates to village regulation. Several communities, including the villages of Manlius and Fayetteville, have recently had large murals painted on the side of commercial buildings “We realized it was kind of a grey area; maybe it was covered, maybe it wasn’t covered,” Wheeler said last month. “We felt like the potential visual impact of a mural was significantly greater than any sign in the village, but yet, as I said, kind of a grey area. We feel like that is something that should be regulated, for the same reasons we want to regulate signs; it can have a tremendous impact on the historic character and the visual integrity of the village.”
Budget workshops
In preparation for the new fiscal year, the board has scheduled two budget workshops in the next two weeks. The first will be Monday, Feb. 12 at 5:15 p.m. and the second will be Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 5:15 p.m. The budget workshops will take place at village hall and are open to the public. Editor’s note: This article includes reporting by Kate Hill. want solid athletes, but they also want individuals who have strong leadership skills, are humble, understand personal accountability, and have high integrity.” He added that Rawlings programs are also big on supporting the athletes’ families and giving back to local communities. “This past Christmas, [for example,] our players and families raised money for Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital,” he said. “We went as a program and purchased all the gifts and handdelivered them a week before Christmas. This was something that our athletes took the lead on and made a success.” To learn more about the CNY Rawlings Tigers, visit cnyrawlingstigers. com.

Chittenango 25-21 going into halftime. It remained that tight until the fourth quarter when the Lakers finally put the Bears away, outscoring them 18-4 with another scoring burst led by Ella Baker. All Baker did was notch 23 points, setting a new season mark, but Chittenango could not concentrate on her because Sophie Rheaume was earning 14 points and Bess Johnson gained nine points. Though it had no one to match Baker’s output, the Bears, without leading scorer Abby Scheidelman in the lineup, got 15 points from Alivia Cavotta and
had all eight players that saw action get at least one field goal. Prior to this Cazenovia lost, 69-42, to Jordan-Elbridge, while Chittenango fell 70-22 to reigning sectional Class B champion Cortland last Tuesday night. In the case of the Lakers, it was fairly close until the third quarter, when J-E outscored them 19-6, led by Abbie Ahern, who finished with 25 points, and Ava Hildebrant, who got 19 points. Baker had 17 points, with Rheaume and Jocelyn Szalacheach getting eight points and Johnson earning six points.
It was a wonderful two weeks…
Those of you who read my articles and listen to my radio show know that I was in Florida from January 11-28 to attend the 71st PGA Merchandise Show on January 23-26 in Orlando, Florida. I decided to leave on the 11th to go to Port St. Lucie, Florida first, for two reasons. The first reason was to go to the PGA Golf Club to practice and prepare myself to play in the Golf Writers of America Championship at the Mission Inn Resort on January 21-22 as well as to hopefully see a few of the CNY PGA Golf Professionals who spend their Winters in Port St. Lucie. The PGA Golf Club is a magnificent golf complex that has three “tournament ready” golf courses. One of the courses was designed by Pete Dye, who also designed Sawgrass in Ponte Verda Beach, Florida. The other two were designed by Tom Fazio, who also designed Atunyote at Turning Stone. The PGA Golf Club has a recently renovated 15 acre Practice Facility with three putting greens, two practice bunkers and a six hole PGA Short Course that offers holes from 35-60yards in length. It is complementary to golf guests. I practiced and played two 9 hole rounds of golf and was very pleased with my performance considering the 2 month layoff since November of 2023. On Saturday morning the 13th, I broadcast my radio show from the famous Taplow Pub in the Clubhouse. Dir. of Golf, Holly Taylor, co-hosted the show with me. The second reason I wanted to go to Port St. Lucie on the 17th was to meet Tony Calascibetta, owner of Cam’s Pizerria’s in Camilus, Oswego, Watertown, and now, his newest location in Port St. Lucie, Florida. It is located in a very nice neighborhood at one end of a popular “Strip Center Mall”, about 14 minutes from the PGA Golf Club. The best feature is a 350-400 sq.ft. brick laid patio for year around dining and parties.The Grand Opening is scheduled for the week of February 11th. If you happen to be down there at that time, stop over to visit. You never know who might be there. They have already had two familiar faces from Camilus and Oswego stop in. On the morning of the 12th, Thursday, I drove to Howey in the Hills, Florida to practice and play a few more holes before the Golf Writers of America Championship on Sunday and Monday at the Mission Inn Resort. The Mission Inn is simply an exclusive resort that has catered to many of the Top 500 Companies in America. In fact, when I registered, I noticed that the PGA Magazine was honoring the Top PGA of America “Merchandizers of the Year” recipients for two days. The resort has two challenging golf courses that have hosted over 20 years of high school, college, state and

professional championships. The courses are; Las Colinas and the El Campeo’n masterpiece that has been the #1 ranked course in Florida since 2012 by Golf Channel’s GolfAdvisor. Let’s talk tournament! Based on my performance, both at the PGA range and on the courses I played, I am expecting to shoot scores from the mid to high 70’s to low 80’s…which is about my range when playing from the Senior tees. Well, surprise… surprise! I shot the worst two rounds of golf on consecutive days in a tournament that I can ever remember. No joke…It was a disaster. However, it was another lesson learned in humility. After the tournament on Monday, I headed to Orlando to attend Demo Day, which is always the official first day of the PGA Merchandise Show. As usual, the club manufactures lined the one/half mile driving range at Orange County National Golf Center and Lounge. I had the opportunity to hit irons, hybrids, drivers and wedges from Mizuno, Cobra, Callaway, Ping and Titleist. It’s like being a kid in a candy store for 4 hours. On Wednesday the show begins with over 30,000 attendees in the golf industry looking at products displayed by over 1,000 venders from 89 countries around the world. If you walked down every isle in the Orlando Convention Center, you would have to walk 10 miles on your bruised and sore feet. I again conducted interviews at the PGA Media Satellite Stage, on the convention floor, for the 6th consecutive year….it’s inception. My favorite conversation every year, for the past 20 years, has been with Titleist’s Bob Vokey. He’s 85 years old and still going strong. He draws the largest crowds of all the manufactures booths. I left the show on Friday morning and headed back to the Altamonte Springs area that is close to the airport. I am looking for a golf course that will allow me to broadcast my show on Saturday morning. By accident, I find the Winter Park Golf Club. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Babe Didrikson Zaharias all played in exhibitions there. Google it…please. I have been pinching myself every day since I returned to CNY.
