Back on Monday, the Chittenango girls faced Christian Brothers Academy and rolled through the first set 25-13 before claiming a close second set 25-23.

CBA, who rallied from two sets down to beat East Syracuse Minoa earlier in the month, rallied here, too, getting the third set 25-22 and earning several chances to win the fourth.

However, the Bears pulled out that set 28-26 and ended the match, Taylor Streiff picking up 27 digs to go with her seven kills as Stephanie Huckabee added six aces to her seven-kill total.

Meanwhile, Rachel Gilbert got six kills, ply hoping to get out what they put in and to bring in a good long-term owner for the campus.

“It’s really a very selfless effort, putting their money at risk to do something good for the community,” Wheeler said.

According to Wheeler, the local group, which is collaborating with the village, the Town of Cazenovia, and local agencies, such as the Cazenovia Area Community Development Association (CACDA), has already had a couple of rounds of discussion with the bondholders.

“The fact that they are talking and negotiating I think is very positive,” he said. “We anticipate a follow-up round this week, and we are optimistic. You never know until you come to an agreement, but I’m encouraged by the tone of the discussions and the negotiations.”

The mayor next proposed the hiring of commercial realtor Joshua W. Podkaminer, of JWP Commercial, to serve, on an as-needed basis, as a consultant to the village and the broader community during the post-college planning process and the transition of the college’s real estate assets to new uses.

“None of us on the village board are experts in this type of transaction,” said Wheeler. “It’s really a pretty unique situation.”

Wheeler also commented that Podkaminer came highly recommended and that because he does not have a financial stake in what gets sold to whom, his only interest is in providing good advice to the village.

The board voted to dedicate a total not to exceed $12,000 to Podkaminer’s services over the next four months until the end of the fiscal year.

“We can build in additional funds in next year’s budget,” Wheeler said. “Of course, it’s not budgeted in this year’s, so we will amend the budget.” four blocks, three aces and 13 digs. Alex Sylstra had 15 assists and 11 digs, Anna Spencer adding seven assists and 20 digs. Cara Kielbasa finished with 21 digs.

Prior to authorizing Podkaminer’s hiring, the board voted to amend the 2022-2023 budget and take $12,000 from the unallocated cash reserve and put it into the trustee contractual line of the budget.

When Chittenango faced Oneida on Wednesday night, the Bears were steady and relentless in a 25-18, 25-16, 25-15 sweep over the Indians.

Anna Spencer (11 assists, nine digs) and Sylstra (nine assists) split setter duties as Streiff recorded 13 digs. Huckabee, aside from her six kills, had 10 digs, Julia Spencer also getting six kills and Gilbert four kills.

Later in his update, Wheeler informed the board that CACDA Executive Director Lauren Lines is seeking proposals for a professional study to compile all the available information on the college properties such as buildings, as-built drawings, zoning, highest and best uses and community input on future uses for example, into a single package that can be used to market the campus to potential buyers.

Wheeler also reported that the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation led an approximately 20-person “visioning session” the previous week to explore potential uses for the campus, that former Cazenovia Public Library Director Betsy Kennedy and Cazenovia Town Councilor Kyle Reger researched what has happened in similar communities that have lost their colleges, and that the village has been maintaining a good dialogue with elected officials at the state and federal level throughout the planning process thus far. in other news

The board voted to designate the American Legion Post 88 (26 Chenango St.) as the official polling place for the 2023 village elections on June 20.

The board also passed a resolution recognizing the recent retirement of Sergeant Karen Zaleski and her 20-plus years of dedicated service to the Village of Cazenovia Police Department.

During his report, Trustee/Public Works Commissioner Justin Fuchs announced that the Village of Cazenovia Department of Public Works (DPW) has started going door-to-door as part of an effort to inventory any lead service lines that may exist within the village.

“This is part of a long-term, proactive inventory of what we have so that we [can hopefully] take advantage of some of the federal monies to go in and replace any lead infrastructure which may remain in the village,” explained Wheeler. “We certainly don’t have any significant amount. . .”

Fuchs added that all the DPW personnel involved in the effort have official identification badges.

Golf

Last week I reported on the 70th PGA Merchandise Show but did not have enough space in the article to inform you about the biggest change at the show I have observed over the 23 shows I have attended. e biggest change I have noticed has been the number of women who are attending and how many of them own their own companies.

You have probably never heard of Jane Spicer or what she has contributed to the golf industry but that changes right now… providing you read this entire article. For your information, Jane has been one of the exhibitors at the PGA Merchandise Show for over 30 years and is one of the longest running female CEO’S in golf. She has been connected to the golf industry for 44 years as the owner of her company, Daphne’s Headcovers. As one of 80 female business owners exhibiting at the show she says, “It is something to absolutely celebrate that we can come together supporting and upli ing each other. It is exciting to see innovative and smart women doing wonderful things”. What else does Spicer do when asked, “I mentor a few of the women entrepreneurs from companies that are here on the oor. I’m watching them slowly grow just like I have been mentored by other women in business. ere’s just more of us now”.

Remember the name Nancy Lopez. She le the University of Tulsa a er her sophomore year to join the LPGA Tour in 1977. She played only six events that year, nishing 2nd in three of them. In 1978, she became a household name in America because she won 9 tournaments that year, including 5 consecutive wins and the LPGA Championship. I remember having a crush on her. When Nancy started playing, there were “NO” clubs speci cally made for women. “I had a meeting with Arnold Palmer and we decided to start a women’s line of golf clubs. Our focus has always been on women…not just the clubs but on the clothing line”, she said about the beginning of Nancy Lopez Golf.

Being a female entrepreneur in golf is not the only area where more and more women are nding inclusion. According to the National Golf Foundation, the number of women “playing golf” is up over 25% in 2021…up from 19% ten years ago. ere was an even bigger jump among female junior golfers where more than 1.1 million (35%) are girls compared to 15% in 2000. And the numbers go even higher when you consider “entertainment venues” like Top Golf, where the focus is more on having fun, instead of a score or golf swing. Women now account for 45% of all o -course golfers. ere is also a national junior golf program that specializes in providing girl-friendly opportunities for juniors to learn the game of golf. It is the LPGA/USGA “Girls Golf”. ey have more than 500 sites around North America. e reach of the program is up by 1,800% since 2010.

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.

Let’s face it gentlemen, golf has always been known as the good ole “boys club” for hundreds of years….until recently, that is, where these things happened:

1. Augusta National, the host of the annual Masters tournament, began accepting female members in 2012.

2. e Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, voted to allow women as members for the rst time in it’s 260 year history.

3. Pine Valley, the #1 ranked golf course in the U.S., agreed to begin allowing women members for the rst time in 2021. Sounds like a trend…feels like a trend…acts like a trend. erefore, it must be a trend. ere has never been a time in my life where the opportunities for women to make a good living in the golf industry, without being a professional golfer, has been stronger than now. Amateur and Professional women’s golf are great to watch on TV…a wonderful game to play and now, an industry that welcomes women into its ranks as never before. “ e Gals Are Into Golf”…it’s about time.
