In mid-January, Liverpool Police began warning drivers of heavyweight vehicles, and by the end of that month the officers began ticketing alleged offenders.
and-a-half tons. For weights between seven-and-a-half tons and 10 tons the penalty would be $1,700. The fines grow progressively higher for increased weights, with the top fine listed as $4,700 for trucks and their loads weighing 22.5 tons or more.
Police Chief Jerry Unger believes that the troublesome truck traffic has diminished by as much as 85 percent since the law went into effect, and Finney agrees.
Nevertheless, the newest proposed local law – Local Law F – would significantly lower those fines.
If the new law is approved, an overweight truck driver initially convicted could draw a fine of not more than $300. A second conviction within 18 months could draw a fine of not more than $600. And a third conviction within 18 months could draw a fine of not more than $1,200.
The proposed law states its purpose: “The village evaluated the pen-

Residents, motorists and local business owners may weigh in on the proposed local law when the trustees conduct a public hearing at 7 p.m.

New Officer Roberto Lamas
Also at the March 18 meeting, Finney administered the oath of office to Liverpool’s newest full-time police officer, Roberto Lamas. Unger, who attended the swearing-in, said that Lamas is progressing well at the Central NY Regional Police Academy. He’s expected to graduate on Aug. 9.
Cops busy in February
North Syracuse Central School District Superintendent of Schools has announced that this year’s Teacher of the Year award will go to Cicero-North Syracuse High School teacher Lydia Roldan. Roldan now moves on to the statewide program for Teacher of the Year, sponsored by the New York State Education Department. Roldan was part of a group of five outstanding teachers of the North Syracuse Central School District, each of whom were nominated by at least 10 of their District peers.
Roldan has worked with the North Syracuse Central School District students as an English as a New Language (ENL) Teacher at both North Syracuse Junior High School and Cicero-North Syracuse High School since 2017. Roldan’s passion for teaching and her commitment to supporting English Language Learners (ELLs) have made a profound impact on our students and staff alike.
Throughout her tenure as an ENL teacher, Roldan has demonstrated exemplary dedication and expertise. She
Four accidents were investigated here last month, and 20 parking tickets were issued. Officers made 39 residential checks and 343 business checks in February, while responding to a total of 791 incidents and calls for service. That’s an unusually high number of monthly calls representing an average of 28.2 calls answered per day.
The LPD arrested 51 individuals last month on 55 criminal charges.
Overnight parking ban
From now through April 15 parking along most village streets is banned from midnight to 8 a.m. On village business district streets, parking is prohibited from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Unger reported via memo that his officers made 317 traffic stops and issued 271 citations for violations of the state’s vehicle and traffic laws in February.
has not only taught ENL grades 10-12 but has also worked tirelessly to coteach content classes and differentiate instruction for classrooms with multilevel learners. She has advocated for improved scheduling practices and implementing appropriate curriculum have led to the creation of a welcoming school environment for ELLs and their families.
Roldan’s colleagues overwhelmingly supported her for Teacher of the Year praising her collaborative spirit and unwavering commitment to her students’ success. Kimberly Rice, Interim House III Principal at C-NS, commends Roldan for her dedication, collaborative spirit, advocacy, communication skills, and commitment to continuous improvement.
Amy Petersen Sagrado, a former colleague of Roldan’s, took time to highlight Roldan’s dedication to her students’ academic and personal growth, as well as her passion for implementing innovative best practices in language pedagogy.
“I don’t know that physical therapy gets the visibility it deserves within the medical community, so it’s certainly an honor for me to not only have a seat at the table, but to sit in the chair’s seat and work to continue advancing public health in our county” says Kelly. “I can offer real world experience witnessing some of our most pressing public health needs and I will work hard with my colleagues to improve outcomes and access to services throughout Onondaga County.”
Kelly represents the Legislature’s 14th District which covers a large portion of the Town of Clay.
He was appointed to the legislature by the County Executive in February 2021 and won re-election in November of 2021 and 2023.
He’s a graduate of Cicero-North Syracuse High School and SUNY Upstate and at 33, is the one of the youngest members of the legislature.
“It was an easy decision to appoint Dr. Kelly as Chair” says the Legislature’s Chairman Timothy Burtis. “His professional experience in healthcare along with his personal demeanor make him a great fit for this role and I know he will do a great job.”

Roldan’s accomplishments and dedication to her students extend beyond the classroom. She has actively participated in various professional development activities, including workshops, conferences and training sessions, to enhance her teaching skills and support her students’ needs effectively.
Roldan’s outstanding contributions to our school community have not gone unnoticed. She exemplifies the qualities of an exceptional educator, including dedication, collaboration, advocacy and continuous improvement.
Other nominees in this year’s Teacher of the Year competition were: Karen Seamans at Cicero-North Syracuse High School, Danielle Delfanian at Smith Road Elementary School, Kathy Conese at Allen Road Elementary School and Kathy Krichbaum at Roxboro Road Middle School. Congratulations to Roldan and all our dedicated educators!
Many thanks are also due to those who served on the Teacher of the Year Interview Committee: Phil Cleary (Committee Chair), Linda Congdon (Smith Road Elementary School), Lisa Goldberg (SEL Director), Amy Hysick (CNS High School), John Kuryla (NSEA), Colleen O’Connor (Roxboro Road Middle School) and Kathy Wheeler (Cicero Elementary School Principal).

Eighth graders experience high-tech careers
events hosted by Micron and oCM BoCes
Lyncourt eighth-grader Aedan Tarrats knew one thing about Micron Technology, Inc., before attending a STEM event on Feb. 22 at the OCM BOCES Main Campus in Liverpool.
“I knew they made chips,” he said. “That’s about it.”
All that changed when Tarrats joined about 60 other eighth graders from 11 Syracuse-area school districts at “Careers in a High Tech World,” a fourhour event that exposed them to the inside world of Micron, the broader semiconductor industry and a wide range of STEM careers. A similar event is scheduled for April 25 at Cortland Junior Senior High for eighth graders in Cortland-area schools.
Robert Simmons III, Director of Micron Gives for North America, said Careers in a High Tech World offers young people “the opportunity to not only learn about Micron but also gain insights into the semiconductor industry and understand what it takes to pursue a career within this sector.”
“This partnership with BOCES is wonderful because it enables us to bring together districts across the region, ensuring this opportunity reaches as many students as possible,” he said.
In 2022, Micron announced its plans to build the largest semiconductor fabrication facility in the history of the United States in the town of Clay.
This new “megafab” is expected to increase the domestic supply of leadingedge memory technology, create nearly 50,000 jobs in New York State, and represent the largest private investment in New York State history.
OCM BOCES District Superintendent Matt Cook, Ed.D., said he was “incredibly impressed” with Micron’s commitment to diversity and workforce development and making sure all students have equal access to STEM opportunities.
“Whether it’s a student from an ur -
ban, suburban or rural school district, male or female — it doesn’t matter,” Cook said. “Micron wants all kids to have an opportunity to be exposed to the exciting world that’s coming.”
The event on Feb. 22 offered a full day of fun, hands-on activities and a long list of guests that included representatives from the Museum of Science and Technology (the MOST), Onondaga Community College and a Zoom panel of Micron employees from across the country. It was organized by Landon Loeber, STEM outreach and student engagement coordinator for Micron, and Amanda Viel, Ed.D., Director of Instructional Support Services at OCM BOCES. Several BOCES teachers, administrators and other staff also helped with the event. The MOST provided free passes for attendees and their families.
“Our K-12 STEM programs are designed to engage and excite students, offering them a glimpse of the myriad opportunities available,” Loeber said. “Each student might resonate with a different field, which aligns perfectly with the diverse career opportunities at Micron and the semiconductor industry as a whole.”
In the morning, students bounced from one STEM activity to another. They used an “ASCII binary decoder key” and black-and-white beads to create bracelets representing their initials.
They donned head-to-toe “bunny suits” that prevent contamination in a cleanroom facility. They used virtual reality headsets and laptops to “tour” Micron and Cornell University cleanrooms. They engineered plastic racing cars using dowels, clips and rubber bands, then raced them across the carpet.
SubMitteD photoS
About 60 eighth graders from 11 Syracuse-area school districts attended “Careers
In the afternoon, they heard about the MOST in downtown Syracuse and posed questions for a panel that included Loeber; Ana Gil, a local businesswoman who does photos and videography for Micron; and four representatives from Onondaga Community College, including a student who switched to a STEM major after exploring other fields.
The event wrapped up with four guests on Zoom from Micron facilities in Georgia, Virginia and Idaho, where the company is based. They talked about their roles in the organization, the pros and cons of their jobs, and their unique paths to a STEM career. Speak-
ers included an equipment technician, a wellbeing specialist, a logistics analyst and a senior data analytics engineer.
Liverpool eighth grader Emma Huynh said she was grateful for the opportunity to learn about Micron, but she has yet to decide what she wants to do as a career. STEM, in general, is exciting for her.
“I like thinking outside of the box and being able to find out more about our lives,” she said.

Prepare for spring
Despite some lingering signs of winter, by the calendar, we are in spring and likely the warmer weather and brighter days of spring are not so far off.
As spring approaches there are often things we do to prepare for the new season. Whether it is a bit of spring cleaning, some repairs or maintenance around the house or out in the yard, there are likely things many of us will be doing to get in the swing of things for spring and summer.
This time of year, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing outdoor power equipment, small engine, utility vehicle, golf car and personal transport vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, reminds homeowners to keep safety in mind.
“Before you use a mower, trimmer, blower, power washer, chainsaw, pruner, portable generator or other piece of outdoor power equipment this season, it’s important to be up to date on handling and safety procedures,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of OPEI. “We’re all eager to get outside and enjoy our yards, but you also need to take the time to do maintenance to ensure your equipment operates safely for the season and is ready to get the job done.”
The organization shared some tips to help people prepare for spring and make sure there outdoor equipment is safe and working properly.
OPEI, recommends that you read your owner’s manual. Follow all guidelines for your outdoor power equipment and familiarize yourself with the controls. Review how to shut on, shut off, and use the equipment safely. If you have lost your manual, look it up online and save a copy on your computer for easy reference in the future. Inspect equipment. Check the air filter, oil level and the gasoline tank. Also check for loose belts and missing or damaged parts. Ensure all safety guards are in place. Replace any parts needed or take your equipment to a qualified service representative for servicing. If using electric equipment that relies on power cords, make sure cords are in good condition and not damaged.
Protect your power by only using E10 or less fuel in gasoline-powered outdoor power equipment. With today’s higher ethanol content fuels, most manufacturers are recommending a fuel stabilizer be used, especially if you don’t use up all the gas purchased right away. Some gas stations may offer 15 percent ethanol (E15) gas or higher ethanol fuel blends, but any fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol can damage, and is illegal to use, in small engine equipment not designed for it.
Store fuel safely. Label your fuel can with the date of purchase and ethanol content of the fuel. Never put “old” gas in your outdoor power equipment. If you don’t know the date of purchase, dispose safely of the fuel in the can and buy fresh fuel. Always store fuel out of the reach of children or pets and in approved containers. You should
TUESDAY DELigHTS
The big thing on Tuesdays is to remember to take the garbage and recycling bins out. Today was a bit different.
It started … well, not differently, but pleasantly … when I awoke to find our big gray cat named Brother asleep, purring happily by my side. He is a sweet boy who usually sleeps at the foot of the bed. A foretelling?
I was looking forward to that morning, anticipating the arrival of our son, who had would be driving in from Rochester to help with some family business. Later that day, our daughter would be picking her father up to go to see “Pretty Woman” in the city. There was enough of yesterday’s Chinese “take out” left to cover the evening’s dinner. The first of three loads of laundry were in the washing machine. It was going to be a good day.
It got better. I went to get my mail.
Let me explain. I have subscribed to a number of publications for different reasons over the years. I was one of the original subscribers to Living, the Martha Stewart magazine with the aspiration of becoming organized enough to emulate Martha’s sweeping success at home keeping. There was this innovative feature called “good things” that demonstrated how to use ideas and objects in creative, useful ways.
In my mind … terrific.
Could I have arcana chickens that lay colored eggs, an orchard with a zillion types of peaches, several houses with what, at one time, had servants’ quarters, etc.? It became abundantly clear that the answer to these questions was no.
Martha went to jail, the magazine limped along and then expired.
And then social media sealed the fate of many such magazines, decimating what had been a profitable niche in print journalism. But some did continue and I, being eternally hopeful, continued to add subscriptions to fill in for those that left, enticed by slick ads that promised me personal fulfillment and the ability to continue to reinvent myself with decorating and new clothes.
It took a while, but it became abundantly clear that I was not in the group of people to whom these journals were targeted.
I mean, I don’t know anyone who goes away for a weekend packing a pair of jeans that cost more than my first car and some hand lotion that has to be imported. Recipes called for ingredients and equipment that I consider to be exotic and not readily available. What is Za’atar anyway? And I don’t know anyone who would redo their living room by wall -
Ramblings from the empty nest ann Ferro
papering the ceiling with a zebra print. My taste and that of the editors - were definitely not the same. And then there are the country-focused magazines that are no more country than Times Square is Navarino. In these publications city dwellers who are mostly antique dealers or decorators have a weekend house of more than 3,000 square feet with furnishings that have all been found on antiquing trips through some mountain villages in France. Tell me who takes care of the city and the country houses?
And a pox on magazines that use impossiblyyoung ultra-wealthy entertainment personalities to tell us about the things we should aspire to be or own. A pox! Since I can’t enforce that, I simply unsubscribed - my version of “poxing.”
So…with this in background in mind … what was so special about the mail? Woman’s Day magazine and the Bas Bleu catalog were in the mailbox. I have read Woman’s Day since I was a teen. It was the only magazine in our house, bought by my mother when she went grocery shopping. Its articles are real, relating to ordinary folk. You can actually do what is described on its pages without taking out a loan or travelling to places where you need injections and don’t speak the language. Sure, it’s not a sophisticated exploration of cutting-edge decorating, gastronomy or organizing, but so what. That is what I find charming. And Bas Bleu? Oh, my!
I am all for rejecting the accumulation of stuff except for books, and Bas Bleu is a catalog that will inveigle me into adding to my collection of books that are still unread. It is, in my mind, a Sunday afternoon before Christmas dreaming with the Sears catalog when I was a child. List and descriptions of titles, mostly from across the pond, British, and lately about WWII or nature, quirky books about ideas or information, a veritable treasure hunt for the unusual that is so very ordinary. There are puzzles and gifts for children on its pages, pages which are laid out in so pleasant a way that I find my time just reading it, a delight, a real delight.
So, between remembering the trash cans and everything else that was good on Tuesday, I found the time for delight, and that is a good thing (to quote Martha.)
Ann Ferro is a mother, a grandmother and a retired social studies teacher. 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.

A baker’s dozen published authors will gather at Liverpool Public Library at 6 p.m. Monday, April 1. The writers will discuss the creative process and autograph copies of their books which will be available for sale.
“We will kick the evening off by hearing from a panel of authors about their personal experiences as authors as well as the ins and outs of publishing,” said community engagement librarian Cindy Hibbert, who organized the event.
“Following the presentation, the sparkling cider will be flowing and cake will be served while guests talk one-on-one with more than a dozen authors and have the opportunity to purchase books signed on the spot by their creators,” Cindy said.
The panelists include Jon Anderson, author of one of the best local history accounts ever, “Gannentaha: The 17th Century French Jesuit Mission Ste. Marie among the Iroquois Haudenosaunee at Onondaga Lake.”
Also on the panel is writer Roxanne Bocyck, who has penned a delightful novel, “Catherine’s Dream: A Story of Spirit and Courage” about a Polish immigrant assimilating into American culture. Children’s author Patricia Bonesteel will serve on the panel and discuss the publication of her colorfully titled book, “The Flamingo with Two Left Feet.”
‘Jaws’ prequel Rounding out the panel is Ryan Dacko, who has written a gripping novel – “The Book of Quint” –which is a prequel to Peter Benchley’s 1974 novel, “Jaws,” which was made into a blockbuster horror film. Dacko’s book follows clues and characters from the movie and creates an entire backstory for Captain Quint, the fearless fisherman made famous by actor Robert Shaw’s performance.
As we approach the 50th anniversary of the film “Jaws,” Dacko has devised the definitive prequel. Beginning with Quint adrift in the Philippine Sea, and following him first to San Francisco and then to Amity Island, we learn how he acquired his many scars, how he came to own his boat, the Orca, and how he developed his shark-hunting techniques.

Now Dacko’s inviting all fans of the movie to demonstrate a demand for the prequel to be filmed by Universal Studios. “Everyone says it would make a great movie,” he said.
Authors galore
It’s impressive how many published authors we have living in Central New York, and many of them will be at Liverpool Library on April 1. For instance, there’s Apple An, author of a memoir, “Las Crosses: A Wavering Journey to a New Life in America,” as well as a self-help book, “All-in-One Dotted Journal Notebook for a Busy, Productive, Mindful Life.”
Romance writer Patricia Antone is the author of “When Destinies Collide.”
The versatile Ron Baliere dabbles in both fiction with “The Himalayan” and memoir with “A Second Chance to Get it Right.” Playwright Daniel Colasanti Sr. has published a yuletide stage play, “The Shepherds’ Quest.” Short story writer Christopher DelGuerico has penned a compilation called “An Unsettled Score: The Collected Twisted Visions of Christopher L. DelGuercio.”
Children’s author Lindsay DeRollo is pretty prolific. Lindsay has five books out, “Sugarplums & Shooting Stars,” “Pinky Takes the Stage,” “If the Slipper Fits” and “My Grandma’s Guardian Angels.”
Retired Onondaga County Medical Examiner Dr. Mary Jumbelic has forged a second career as a writer. Her first book, the memoir “Here, Where Death Delights,” shows how after facing blood, gore, violence and grief in morgues and mass disasters, the forensic pathologist finally integrated death into her own life.
Poet John Queor has two books to his credit, “Resembling a Moth” and “Bypass.” And author Ava Zacardi has written two books as part of an ongoing family saga, “Always Julia: The Art of a Life” and “Honestly Julia: A Matter of Perspective.”
Last word “Anyone who says writing is easy isn’t doing it right.”
– Novelist Amy Joy.

never leave fuel sitting in the gas tank of your equipment for more than 30 days as it may cause starting or running problems or damage. For battery-powered equipment, recharge your equipment only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Follow all charging instructions. Do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Store batteries safely. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Clean your equipment and store it in a dry place. Remove any dirt, oil or grass. Clean equipment will run more efficiently and last longer. Never store your equipment in a place that is damp or wet. Always keep kids and pets away when operating outdoor power equipment.

Onondaga County veterans Favor Card program relaunched
Onondaga County Clerk Emily Essi Bersani is relaunching the Onondaga County Return the FAVOR (Find and Assist Veterans of Record) program. Honorably discharged veterans are encouraged to come to the Onondaga County Clerk’s Office during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday) to file their DD-214 and sign up for the Veterans FAVOR Card program.
In regard to the program, Bersani said, “Onondaga has a long history of supporting our veterans. I am proud to continue this tradition by relaunching the Veterans FAVOR Card program that offers discounts and services from restaurants to bookstores and everything in between.
Thank you to the partnering businesses in every corner of Onondaga County for making this program possible. To those who have bravely served our country – thank you for all you have done for us.”
Honorably discharged veterans can receive a FAVOR card by bringing their DD-214 and valid ID to the county clerk’s office or at their local municipality’s clerk’s office. If the DD-214 is not already on file, the county clerk’s office is more than happy to complete this process. Filing the DD-214 is not a requirement to receive the card but is strongly encouraged. A list of partnering businesses, merchant application forms, and more information on the program can be found at ongov.net/favor. OBITUARIES

roar to build and when something big happens, it’s loud.
Now take all this and then add the fact that Glens Falls High School was playing. When Joe Girard won his state title in 2019, that was in Binghamton with a big crowd, but nothing like this.
Glens Falls’ semifinal was played Friday morning – and there was still 2,000 or so in the building. By the time the final came around on Saturday against Wayne, the line to get in the arena probably stretched half a mile toward the Hudson River.
And when they got in there, it was a true event , overwhelming for anyone to take in. Just imagine what it was like for the players – little surprise that the state Class A final featured a lot of ragged play.
True, Glens Falls fans roared when the Black Bears made the decisive third-quarter run. But they also gave a loud ovation when the announcer noted that a Wayne player got his 1,000 th career point.
Glens Falls won. Marcellus and West Genesee did not, both of them stopped just short in tense title games even as they both achieved magnificent seasons.
All of them, though, got to feel just how unique and awesome it was to go for a state championship in this setting. That alone made the trip worthwhile. I was grateful to be there.
Phil Blackwell is sports editor at Eagle News. He can be reached at pblackwell@ eaglenewsonline.com.
would be beyond grateful. It truly does take a village! Our tax dollars are more efficiently spent as prevention as opposed to juvenile delinquency in a reactionary manner. 25 years of experience shows this to be true!!

Glossary of terms - Part Two For recreational golfers
for the Golf Course” and “Terms for the Golf Swing”. I also informed you that I would not be be surprised if only 40-50% of beginners and recreational golfers would be able to pass a test about a basic Glossary of Terms for golf. Understanding the Terms for Golf will absolutely be a bene t to you, not only at the golf course but at home, the o ce, parties, etc. because of the favorable impression you will make with your family, friends, associates and yes…even with strangers. Last week I challenged all amateur and elite golfers to send my last two articles to at least “3” golfers they know to help them gain more knowledge and have more fun playing. Continued from last week…
Terms For Scoring
* Albatross - A score that is “3” strokes under par for a hole.
Example: When playing a Par 5…the 2nd shot goes in the hole…the score is “2”…”3” strokes under par
* Eagle - A score that is “2” strokes under par for the hole.
Example: When playing a Par 4…the 2nd shot goes in the hole…the score is “2”…”2” strokes under par
* Birdie - A score that is “1” stroke under par for the hole.
Example: When playing a Par 3…the 2nd shot goes in the hole…the score is “2”…”1” stroke under par
* Par - A score that is “equal” to par for the hole.
Example: When playing a Par 4…the 4th shot goes in the hole…the score is “4”…”par” for the hole
* Bogey - A score that is “1” stroke over par for the hole.
Example: When playing a Par 5…the “6” shot goes in the hole…the score is “6”…”1” stroke over par
* Double Bogey - A score that is “2” strokes over par for the hole.
Example: When playing a Par 3…the “5” shot goes in the hole…the score is “5”…”2” strokes over par
* Triple Bogey - A score that is “3” strokes over par for the hole.
Example: When playing a Par 4…the 7th shot goes in the hole…the score is “7”…”3” strokes over par
* Hole-In-One (Ace) (rare) - When playing a Par 3 or 4…the 1st shot goes in the hole…the score is “1”…
Hole-in-One
e odds of an average golfer making a Hole-in-One are 12,500 to 1..A Tour player3,000 to 1…A low handicapper - 5,000 to 1… Two players from the same foursome making an ace are 17 million to 1…A player making two Holes-in-One in a round is - 67 million to 1.
* Condor (very rare) - Hitting a tee shot in the hole on a Par 5…the score is “1”…Condor ere have been “5” recorded Condors in history...467yds…480yds…496yds…517yds… and 667yds on a Par 6 (only one for a Par 6).
Terms For Beginners
* Gimme Putt - When the ball on the green is so close to the hole, your playing partners say, “that’s good” and don’t require you to nish putting the ball into the hole.
* Shank - When any badly struck golf shot hits the “hosel” (the spot where the head of the club and the sha meet) and the ball goes almost 90 degrees to the right of where a righted golfer is aiming. Any other golf shot that does not hit the hosel…”is not a shank”.
* Yips - e yips are involuntary wrist spasms that occur most commonly when golfers are trying to putt. It was once thought that the yips were always associated with performance anxiety. It now appears that some golfers have the yips due to a neurological condition a ecting muscles, known as focal dystonia. Finally…I now know it’s not my fault.
* Snowman - e term is used to refer to a score of “8” on a golf hole. Why “Snowman”? Doesn’t the numeral “8” look like three balls of snow piled on top of each other that look like a “Snowman”? I rest my case.
* Worm Burner - When you strike a golf ball that barely gets o the ground and just rolls out.
When you become familiar with “all” of golf’s terms, you will receive a Bachelor of Science in Golf from the Pronoun...”Virtually”.

MRM STEAM students look to create cool schools
Over the last few months, Morgan Road Middle STEAM students have been working in teams to design ways to improve building efficiency at the Morgan Road Complex.
As part of the Cool School Project, students focused on a number of areas for improvement, including daylight and windows, building site, mechanical and ventilation, renewable energy, electrical systems and lighting and health and wellness.
At the start of the project, students met with professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering and energy systems to learn more about modern energy conservation in construction. They also worked with Liverpool High School Drone Tech students to take aerial photos of the complex to assist with their projects.

LCSD awarded State Mental Health RECOVS Grant
The Liverpool Central School District has been awarded an up to nearly $4 million New York State grant to address student well-being in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The New York State RECOVS: Recover from COVID School Program grant money will allow the district to sustain many of the mental health supports put in place over the last several school years, including several staff positions such as a social-emotional learning coach, student support and conduct personnel, additional social workers (four at the Grades 3-8 level and one at the Grades 9-12 level) and youth development coordinator. In addition, the district will expand its partnerships with Liberty Resources and Promise Zone.
Starting in the fall, Liberty Resources will have a presence in all LCSD school buildings. Liberty Resources SchoolBased Mental Health therapists provide treatment to children and families in the school setting. Its goal is to improve the quality of life for clients and to improve their ability to succeed academically.
On January 25, the MRM STEAM students presented their final projects as part of a STEAM Symposium. The students made formal presentations in front of guest judges who are experts in their fields, and created research posters that were displayed for families and guests.
Earning recognition for their Cool School projects were:
Health and Wellness: Bradan Petrella, Alainna Deyneka, Camdyn Baker and Claria Jimenez
“The STEAM students impressed our visitors with their advanced ideas, the collaborative team proposals, and their professional presentation skills,” said MRM Principal Maura White.
Daylight and Windows: Makayla Williams, Brielle Bryant and Myah Taylor
Electrical Systems and Lighting: Martin Sarkodee, Lincoln Cowan, Sebastian
Renewable Energy: James McLellan, Samir Nassar, Amanda Panayil and Sophie Moreira
Building Site: Lilyana Sharkey, Aryana BolducCruz, Alyssa Sauro and Mari Cheek
Mechanical and Ventilation: Abed-Al-Qader Mansour, Vincent Fasulo and Sheleah Cannon-Cage
The district also will bring the Promise Zone program to district middle schools. Promise Zone is a school-based mental health program that matches students’ emotional and behavioral needs with effective, targeted interventions designed to develop skills and increase engagement in instructional time through a multi-tiered system of support.
“This grant money will allow the district to sustain the programs we currently offer our students so that they don’t lose these critical connections,” said LCSD Superintendent of Schools Daniel Henner.
“Academic success for each child is our primary goal, and we work to create a healthy environment that allows children to learn and grow into the leaders of tomorrow,” he added. “By working with our community, we can ensure that our children will be equipped to make their world a better place and leave a positive legacy for future generations.”
