Village approves summer events

Wheeler achieves milestone in 17th coaching season

By kate Hill Staff Writer

On April 26, longtime Cazenovia High School (CHS) cross country, indoor and outdoor track coach Kurt Wheeler achieved his 100th career win in Girls Varsity Outdoor Track & Field. Wheeler, who also teaches history and government at CHS, earned his 100th and 101st wins during a “double dual” meet versus Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) and OnTECH Charter High School. The results of the competition were 122-18 against CBA and 136-3 against OnTECH. “Every day coaching these kids is a joy,” said Wheeler. “For me, the satisfaction is in the journey. This has been especially true since COVID in 2020 when we lost our spring season. We literally treasure every day.” Wheeler started out as a volunteer assistant track coach at CHS in 1997 during his first year of teaching. He was hired as an assistant in 1998 and took over as head coach in 2004 when Rich Fratini retired. Since then, Wheeler has missed only one season, in 2007, due to mobilization for the Marine Corps Reserve and deployment to Iraq. This spring marks his 17th season as head coach. “Mr. Wheeler has inspired hundreds of people over these years, and I was so honored to get to meet and work with such a humble and encouraging coach and teacher,” said Katie Pavelchak, a senior on this

Wheeler has also dedicated many years to coaching cross country and indoor track. He began coaching girls varsity cross country in the fall of 1997. In the winter of 1996-97, he started a student running club that turned into an intramural team in 1997-98 and an interscholastic team in 1998-

99, at which time he became the coach of the combined boys and girls squad. The program has since developed into separate boys and girls teams that average over 40 athletes per squad each winter. Since 2004, Wheeler has led his outdoor track team to nine regular season Onondaga High School League titles (2010,

2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021) and three Section III titles (2010, 2011 and 2012). The team also won the Liberty Division Championship Meet in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021. In 2004 and 2012 respectively, Lakers Heather Stec and 100 wins

Dead fish in Cazenovia Lake deemed no cause for alarm By kate Hill Staff Writer

Last week, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) received several reports of deceased fish in the north end of Cazenovia Lake. Upon inspection, Dave Miller, president of the Cazenovia Lake Association, determined that there were approximately a hundred dead fish, most of which appeared to be small bluegill and other sunfish/panfish. According to Kerry McElroy, public participation specialist in the DEC Office of Communication Services, observations from DEC’s fisheries experts aligned with reports that the fish were in varying states of decay, the rate of which is typically slowed by cold water temperatures. The DEC determined that the fish likely died due to a winterkill event, “a common occurrence during spring ice melt, which can be observed in waterbodies across the state.” Winterkill is a fish mortality event generally caused by a depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO). According to Thad Yorks, program director of biology and environmental biology at Cazenovia College, low DO levels

On May 2, the Village of Cazenovia Board of Trustees approved the use of the village streets for the traditional Fourth of July Parade and the 49th Annual July 4th Foot Races. Organized by Project CAFÉ, the parade will line up on the Village Green at 12:30 p.m., step off 1 p.m., and proceed along its normal pre-pandemic route. According to Mayor Kurt Wheeler, the 10mile July 4th race will begin at 8 a.m. this year. “We had two or three years in a row where the heat index was a real worry,” he said. “We were not starting that 10-mile until I think 8:45 a.m. and some of the people weren’t finishing until close to 11 a.m., and it was getting pretty darn hot. Starting the 10-mile earlier, they will be able to run in the cooler part of the day. We’ve got it worked out so that while they are on the back side of the lake, the 5K runs and finishes, so that’s done before the 10milers actually come in. [the races] will kind of overlap with each other, but we think it will be a safer environment.” The 5K race will begin at 8:15 a.m. and the Kids Fun Run will start at 8:20 a.m. The board also approved a request from the New York Bass Youth Program to present a junior fishing tournament on Cazenovia Lake on June 25. The competitors, who will range in age from eighth graders down to eight-yearolds, will fish from 7 a.m. to noon accompanied by coaches who will operate the boats. All fish caught will be weighed at the Lakeside Park boat launch and immediately released. Junior Director Michael Lawton, who was present at the meeting, assured the board that the organization is conservation-minded and will do everything it can to keep the fish alive. He also noted that the juniors conduct shoreline cleanups and fundraisers to send teams to national competitions. The program is also working to form high school fishing clubs. “The nice thing about fishing is that everyone can do it; it’s very inclusive,” Lawton said. “We are just trying to get our foot in the door in different communities. . . If you know any kids that like to fish, send them down for the weigh-in at 12:30 p.m. They’ll love it.” According to Wheeler, the village police chief and parks commissioner will both work with the New York Bass Youth Program to coordinate the event and finalize such details as where to park the approximately ten trucks and boats expected at the tournament.

Last week, community members observed around a hundred dead panfish floating at the north end of Cazenovia Lake. can result from extended ice coverage, which “short-circuits” the diffusion of O2 from the air into the water, and snow accumulation on top of the ice, which slows in-lake photosynthesis, thereby slowing

the production of DO beneath the ice. If new, freshly dead or dying fish appear, contact DEC’s regional fisheries office at fwfish7@dec.ny.gov or 607-7533095.

Wheeler reported that the next phase of work on Lakeland Park’s historic stone wall — specifically the wall along the swim area — will begin “very soon.” According to the mayor, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation approved the village’s permit application the previous week. Expert Building Services, of Cazenovia, will replace the existing stone wall with a poured concrete wall covered with a historic stone veneer. River Rock Dock, of Chittenango, will provide the cofferdams, which are enclosures built within a body of water to allow the enclosed area to be pumped out to create a dry working environment. “They are already doing the prep work down there, and as soon as River Rock can get in and start with the cofferdams, we will start the first phase,” Wheeler said. “I think Mike [Walker of Expert Building Services] has it planned out in two to three phases to break the swim area into manageable pieces.” The village hopes to complete the sections of the wall that are not near the swim area later this summer.

Rural Health Council recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month By kate Hill Staff Writer

his May, the Madison County Rural Health Council (MCRHC) is recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month with “Just Walk!,” a series of Walk with a Doc (WWAD) programs at Lakeland Park in Cazenovia. Started in 2005 by a cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio, WWAD is a national non-profit organization aimed at encouraging healthy physical activity in people of all ages and reversing the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle with the goal of improving the health and well-being of the country. According to MCRHC, the program has a proven track record of helping people commit to a healthy lifestyle through the encouragement of physicians/ other licensed healthcare professionals and interactions with others interested in improving their health. The aim of MCRHC’s “Just Walk!” initiative is to promote physical activity and mental health awareness by bringing together licensed mental health professionals and community members to learn something new and take a walk. “Given the impact of the ongoing pandemic, we wanted to focus on providing mental health information to the community through the WWAD program,” said MCRHC Deputy Director Stephanie Henry in an April 25 press release announcing the initiative. According to the press release, one in five American adults experiences a mental illness each year and one in six Americans ages 6-17 experiences a mental health disorder each year. The WWAD programs will be held on the first three Saturdays in May from 10 to 11 a.m. Each event will be facilitated by a different mental health professional, who will give a brief presentation on a current health topic and then lead participants on a one mile walk through the village at their own pace. According to MCRHC, increasing exercise, even moderately, reduces the risks of many dis-

eases, including coronary heart disease, breast and colon cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. “Research has even shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour that you exercise regularly,” the MCRHC press release states. The American Heart Association also found that walking as little as 30 minutes a day can improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels, help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity, enhance mental well-being, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. On May 7, Marla Velky-Reger, LCSW-R, will kick off the series with an informal discussion on the benefits of exercise on mental health. Velky-Reger is a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in Cazenovia. She also works with the Cazenovia Central School District as the mental health coordinator and is coowner of Cazenovia Community Fitness. “The MCRHC connected with me to discuss the program, [and] I was very interested to be a part of the dialogue with community members to discuss ways in which we can improve our mental health,” said Velky-Reger. “We have all been impacted by the last two years and this forum is an opportunity to discuss tangible strategies for improving our mental health. . . I also hope people realize that taking care of our mental health is essential and is as important as addressing our physical health needs.” On May 14, Breyanna Locke, LMFT, will share information to help people understand the biology of stress reactions within the body. Locke is a licensed clinician and resident of Cazenovia. She was clinically trained in Syracuse University’s marriage and family therapy program and has worked in the mental health field since 2010. She has dedicated much of her career to The Salvation Army in Syracuse, implementing behavioral health treatment interventions to children and families. In partnership with the director of child welfare services at The Salvation Army, Locke developed and implemented a

new behavioral health program for children with mental health needs across Onondaga County. She also trained over 200 staff and community members in the Community Resiliency Model (CRM). Currently, she has a fulltime private practice in Manlius. Locke is also certified in the Functional Family Therapy Model, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and the CRM. She specializes in working with children and adults with trauma using neuro-biologically based trauma treatment interventions. She also enjoys working with couples, families, and other relationship dynamics. “[During my presentation,] I’d like to share a few specific skills that anyone can use to return the body, mind, and spirit to balance after experiencing highly stressful situations,” said Locke. I hope participants learn skills and connect with each other during the program to have more useful tools for understanding the mind, body connection and bringing our bodies back to balance after experiencing physical and emotional adversity.” On May 21, Anne Reagan, Psy.D., will explore mental wellness in children and teens. Reagan is a pediatric psychologist/assistant professor at Golisano Children’s Hospital Department of Pediatrics. After graduating from Fayetteville Manlius High School in 2004, she attended the University of Massachusetts, where she studied psychology and early childhood education. Reagan went on to complete her doctorate in clinical psychology at Wright State in Dayton, Ohio, focusing on pediatric psychology, with a fellowship at Akron Children’s Hospital. She returned to Syracuse with the aim of integrating mental health resources into medical care settings and helped establish the Pediatric Psychology Consult service and Behavioral Health Clinic through Golisano Children’s Hospital. All three events are free and open to the public. Pre-registration is not required. For more information on “Just Walk! Powered by Walk with a

Mental Health First Aid trainings MCRHC is also part of a national initiative to increase mental health literacy. This spring, the organization is bringing Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainings to Madison and Chenango Counties. The skills-based course gives people the tools to identify, understand, and respond to someone who might be struggling with a mental health or substance use challenge and, when necessary, connect them with the appropriate support and resources. MHFA trainees learn a fivestep action plan that guides them through the process of reaching out and offering appropriate support. MCRHC offers the following MHFA trainings: teen, youth, adult, fire and EMS, and public safety. This spring, MCRHC is offering several virtual Youth MHFA trainings, which teach adults (18+ years old) how to identify, understand, and respond to signs

of mental health and substance use challenges among children and adolescents ages 6-18. The training will be offered on May 4, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., May 12, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 15, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., July 20, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Aug. 2, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Aug. 17, from 3 to 7 p.m. This summer, MCRHC is also offering a virtual Adult MHFA training, which teaches adults to recognize signs of mental health or substance use challenges in adults ages 18 and older, how to offer and provide initial help, and how to guide a person toward appropriate care if necessary. The training is scheduled for July 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Through grant funding and a partnership with Madison County Behavioral Health, we are able to offer the MHFA training(s) at no cost,” said Henry.

St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event exceeds fundraising goals By kate Hill Staff Writer

On Sunday, April 24, the annual St. Baldrick’s head-shaving fundraiser returned to Burton Street Elementary School following a several-year hiatus. The national St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. Since 2005, the foundation has invested over $314 million in childhood cancer research grants worldwide. Fundraiser participants sign up online and pledge to raise money to support childhood cancer research in exchange for shaving their heads to show solidarity with cancer patients who have lost their own hair. The first St. Baldrick’s

Cazenovia event was organized in 2012 by Molly Woodworth Huttar, who was a Cazenovia High School (CHS) student at the time. This year, CHS junior Christopher Kelly spearheaded the initiative with help from his parents, Sean and Erin, who organized the event from 2014 to 2017 and raised a total of about $175,000. In January 2022, the Kellys set an initial fundraising goal of $20,000. Ultimately, the event raised over $23,000 for childhood cancer research. On the day of the event, 17 participants were shaved by professional barbers and one individual donated her hair. “The largest number of shavees we had was [113 in 2014],” said Erin. “By comparison, we had 53 shavees in 2017 and raised $29,516.

Town board reignites discussions on the future of the town offices By kate Hill Staff Writer

On April 26, the Cazenovia Town Board held a special meeting to consider the future of the town offices, which have been housed in the historic Gothic Cottage at 7 Albany St. for over half a century. The town board started exploring the possibilities of either renovating the Gothic Cottage or relocating the town offices over a decade ago. Currently, the board is exploring two options: either moving forward with some version of “Plan C” — the board’s preferred plan for remaining in the Gothic Cottage — or building a new town hall at an offsite location. Holmes, King, Kallquist & Associates (HKK) — a Syracuse-based architectural firm with a record of restoring and pre-

serving historically significant buildings — initially presented a preliminarily version of Plan C to the town board in 2014 along with several other renovation options intended to preserve and enhance the Gothic Cottage’s historic character while also modifying the building to allow for more efficient workflow, more room for public meetings, better accessibility, and more secure storage. With assistance from a “citizens’ advisory committee,” the board initially chose another HKK plan, “Plan F,” which called for a modest addition for the clerks’ offices on the north side of the building, accompanied by improved and more accessible entrances; a small elevator; and alterations to the front rooms to create a more functional public meeting space. More recently, however, the board turned its attention to Plan C, which calls

for the construction of a larger addition to the rear of the building to accommodate a new meeting room and a universally accessible restroom. The plan also includes accessible entries, a more appropriate space for the codes enforcement officer, and an elevator, which would be installed in a space that is now used as a closet. Under Plan C, the front rooms — the two first-floor parlors and central hallway that are currently used for board meetings — would serve as offices for the town clerks. During the special meeting, the board had the opportunity to hear from HKK Associate Partner Julia Hafftka-Marshall, AIA, and ask questions about the potential renovation of the Gothic Cottage.

Option 1: Gothic Cottage renovation

During their conversation, the board and Hafftka-Marshall agreed that HKK’s

Plan C should be revised to reflect the town’s current, expanded needs. “If the decision is to move ahead in terms of revisiting Plan C, we would want to sit down and talk about the matrix and talk about the spaces, because things have changed due to the pandemic, due to security, [and other considerations that] were not part of the plan to begin with,” Hafftka-Marshall explained. “All those items need to be revisited, and we need to talk about what the needs are. [For example,] your storage needs have changed, because I know you’ve digitized a lot, but you still have to have certain records that stay here.” Cazenovia Town Supervisor Bill Zupan commented that secure record storage is one of the key things he hopes to see in HKK’s new plan. He also listed updating Town l Page 4

the mechanicals such as electrical, plumbing and heating as well as repairing the building’s exterior as priorities. “I want this building, if we are going to do something with it, to be good for 50 to 75 years,” he said. He also noted that if the town ultimately decides to relocate its offices, the board could consider either keeping the building for use by civic groups or putting it up for sale with “a whole lot” of covenants and restrictions. Hafftka-Marshall then reminded the board that although Plan C, unlike Plan F, does not involve alterations to the front rooms, the project would involve restoring those spaces. “You would be restoring finishes that need work, [such as] plaster work in various areas,” she said. “You’re restoring it with materials in-kind, which is what the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards would want you to do.” She also noted that the parlor windows would need to be repaired without being removed, and that the town could request approval from New York’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to install storm windows on the inside — not the outside — of the original glass. When Town Councilor Jimmy Golub asked whether it would be possible to avoid paying to relocate the town offices during the building renovation/construction, Hafftka-Marshall responded that many of HKK’s projects are phased, often for reasons related to funding availability. She added that HKK would be able to design a phasing plan that would allow the town to continue operating on-site throughout the entire project. During the meeting, HafftkaMarshall also touched on such topics as the position of the proposed addition; the entrances and bathrooms; reinsulating the roof; waterproofing the basement and deterring water away from the building; and HKK’s plan to restore the space that currently houses the clerks’ offices to its original use as an anteroom — a small outer room that leads to another room and is often used as a waiting room. “The anteroom becomes a public space of gathering, which is how it was designed” she said. The group also discussed the proposed hydraulic elevator from the first to the second floor. “The second floor is going to be used just as much, if not more, than it’s used now, realistically,” said Councilor/ Deputy Town Supervisor Patrick Race. “. . . Right now, we are flying under the radar because we are grandfathered in with the situation we have, but after this, it has to be [Americans with Disabilities Act] compliant, and we need an elevator.” When asked about the types of building alterations that would disqualify the Gothic Cottage from grant funding opportunities, Hafftka-Marshall assured the board that

HKK plans to consult with SHPO throughout the development of the project to ensure that the building adheres to preservation standards and is not disqualified. In the coming weeks, HKK will present the board with a proposal for an analysis of the Gothic Cottage to determine the building’s current needs and the full scope of the project. The firm will then present the town board with its latest version of Plan C — which will be given a new name — and an estimated total cost. “Once we have a scope of work and we are reengaged in the project, we’ll update plans, we’ll update elevations, and we’ll update renderings, so that [the board has all that],” said Hafftka-Marshall. To help calculate the project budget, Hafftka-Marshall recommended that HKK consult with a professional cost estimator. “The market has been so volatile these days. . .” she said. “For instance, roofing materials [and insulation] can change daily, it can change weekly. So, a cost consultant that does that every day would be highly recommended in this case.” According to Zupan, once the board has the updated plan and the cost, it will decide whether to continue with the renovation or “pull the plug.” “We are going to be working on this for a year,” he said. “Everybody thinks it’s going to be a slamdunk; well, it’s not. I want to pull everything apart, because if we are spending all this money, I just want to make sure we do the right thing. I think if we follow the process, we will come out OK.”

Option 2: building new

After ruling out the possibilities of moving the town offices into several existing buildings such as Burton Street Elementary School, the old GHD building or the Trush property at the end of the lake, the town is continuing to explore potential locations for a new building. According to Zupan, developer Dennis Gregg plans to attend the board’s May work session to present a plan for a new construction behind Cazenovia Dental on Nelson Street. About a year ago, Zupan spoke with David Muraco, of Empire Management of CNY, Inc., about a site next to Aldi on Nelson Street. “I don’t know if it’s true of not, but I heard he might have a national company coming in there,” Zupan said. “I haven’t talked to him recently, but those are the two sites I was going to look at for [building new].” Once the board feels it has enough information on its options to present to the public, it will seek input during multiple public comment periods. According to Zupan, all voices will be heard and carefully considered before the board makes its final decision.

As the special school election held in the Rippleton district Tuesday night, the proposition to permanently abandon the Rippleton school was carried. The voters by a vote of 20 - 1 decided to sell the school house and property and divide the proceeds among the taxpayers. This sale will be conducted as a public auction under the direction of the Cazenovia Central School Board. This school and site will make a desirable piece of property for either a summer or permanent home. The Rippleton district is a part of the Cazenovia Central school system and all of the Rippleton pupils commencing next fall will be brought by bus to the Cazenovia Central school. At the present time the pupils of the first six grades attend the Rippleton school and those above the sixth grade attend the Central School.

Ledyard of 27 Corwin St., chief air observer for Cazenovia village, is asking for 100 volunteers to man the observation post in Cazenovia. If you are willing to volunteer, call Mr. Ledyard’s home, Phone 133-W. On or about May 17 the post goes on a 24-hour, 7-day a week permanent basis. Included among volunteers it is hoped there will be many housewives and high school young men and women of the junior and senior years. During the past year the local observation post has been operating on a spot alert basis from Mr. Ledyard’s home with personnel of 16 men and women. Recently they were given only a five-minute alert. Another location will have to be obtained under the new fulltime setup as the post cannot be operated on a full-time basis from a residence.

Irving Buyea quonset hut contains just about everything old-fashioned general stores are famous for, except maybe a cracker barrel. Mr. Buyea, who knows where everything from hunting shirts to bicycle locks is kept, will be honored by the Association of Cazenovia Businesses at a dinner at the Cazenovia Country Club at 6:15 p.m., May 11, for the service his store has provided to the community for 45 years. He started out in the old church building on Williams Street back in 1937 but when Harry Gage, the landlord, decided to go into the chicken broiler business, Irv moved to the old wagon and sleigh works on Albany Street by the railroad track that he had bought earlier from the Grange.

Just behind all the traffic and business on Albany Street there is a unique piece of nature many know as the “willow patch.” In the last two weeks anyone walking by the willow patch on Mill Street might have caught a glimpse of students from the landscape architecture program at SUNY-ESF at work cutting, planting and weaving and in many other ways shaping the willow patch. The results of their efforts, a series of living willow landscapes and interpretive sculptures, will be open for public viewing and discussion May 4 at 11 a.m from the bridge on Mill Street. Through research and interviews with residents and town officials, students discovered many of the stories of the willow patch. The water in this wetland comes from many sources, including the lake and Carpenter’s Pond, but much of it is underground and hidden. Few Cazenovians may know that approximately two-thirds of the surface runoff from the roofs, yards and streets of the village flows into the willow patch. The willows do some of the work of filtering pollutants in the runoff before it reaches Chittenango Creek.

100 wins

From page 1

Paige Biviano won state championships in the pentathlon for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, Division II. According to Wheeler, the 2012 season, which the team finished 9-0, was particularly memorable. “We had girls competing in six events at the state championship meet and we medaled in three of them, including Paige’s gold in the pentathlon and a silver by our 4x100 meter relay team,” he recalled. “That team set school records in 10 of the 23 events that we keep records for in that one season. There are no team championships for track and field above the sectional level (only individual), but I believe that would have been a state champion team if given the chance.” The 2010 season was also notable as it marked the first time during Wheeler’s tenure that the team went undefeated and won league and sectional titles. “Last year and this year are also special in their own way because we are all so appreciative of the opportunity to have a team and to compete after losing our season in 2020,” Wheeler said. “On a personal note, I have been lucky enough to coach three of my four daughters, including Faith who is a junior on the team this year.” Melanie Michael, a senior, described Wheeler as the heart of the girls’ track program. “Not only is he invested in every girl’s individual success, but he is also always committed to making the track team a supportive and welcoming space,” she said. As of April 27, Wheeler’s head coaching cumulative record was 101-10. According to Athletic Administrator Mike Byrnes, the coach has developed a formula for success over the course of his career. “It is no wonder he has climbed to the 100-win plateau so quickly despite the limited number of meets a track team competes in each season,” Byrnes said. He also noted that Wheeler continually attracts some of the school’s top ath-

letes to the track program and develops a team atmosphere in which everyone is valued, regardless of individual prowess or talent. “[That’s] quite an accomplishment for a sport that is much of the time individually based,” Byrnes said. “He is also super competitive and works his teams hard to be prepared for their meets and events. I would say that because he has instilled such values and discipline into his program, the wins have become a product of the routine, hard work, and his good decision-making ability by putting his athletes in the best positions to be successful each and every [meet]. When we step foot onto the track, I know our team has an edge over the competition thanks to Mr. Wheeler being our coach.” Wheeler said his favorite thing about coaching track and field is the idea that every athlete is competing against the stopwatch or the measuring tape and has the chance to achieve their personal best at each meet. “We really celebrate ‘personal best’ and ‘season best’ performances on our team,” he said. “One of my highlights each week is crossing off old ‘bests’ on our season performance list after a meet and writing in new personal records. We had 38 new season best performances on Tuesday for example. The most fun aspect is watching athletes achieve goals they did not think were possible. It is a great metaphor for life with effort, perseverance, and teamwork all playing huge roles in our success.” To finish off their season, the girls will compete in dual meets on May 4 and 11, invitationals on April 28 and May 21, and the league and sectional championships on May 16 and 26. Wheeler said he also hopes to see many of the girls competing at the State Qualifier Meet on June 2. “It is truly a blessing to be coached by Mr. Wheeler,” said Mary Williams, a senior. “He is a dedicated and passionate man. Coach Wheeler does everything from planning the intricacies of our whole season to running the individual track workouts with us. I can’t imagine the track program without him.”

OBITUARIES Penelope L. Costello, 80

Loving wife, mother, grandmother Penelope (Penny) L. Costello, 80, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her children on Monday night, April 25, 2022. Penny was born on Dec. 30, 1941, in Morrisville, N.Y., to her parents, Kenneth and Rosannah Roeller. Her family owned the Romar’s restaurant, and Penny worked there as a young girl growing up. Penny was married to William (Bill) Marcellus and had four children, Kim, of Cazenovia, Kelley (Dick) McLaughlin, of Cazenovia, Tammy (Lonny) Dickerson, of Colorado and Michael (Carolyn), of Florida. Tragically, Bill passed away suddenly due to an automobile accident. Penny worked at the Nelson Inn restaurant in

Dorothy Murphy, 94 Realtor

Dorothy Murphy (Dorothy Wheeler), of Fayetteville, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2022, after more than 94 years of a life well lived. Born in 1927 in Brooklyn, N.Y., she was a 1945 graduate of Fontbonne Hall Academy in Brooklyn. After years of modeling in New York’s garment industry, Dot married Joseph V. Murphy in 1958. After living in Staten Island and East Rockaway, Dot and Joe moved their family to Fayetteville in 1976. Dot’s greatest happiness came from being a mother, a role which she cherished more than anything. In addition to the happiness Dot enjoyed in being a wife and mother, she found a love outside of her home as a eucharistic minister

Cazenovia where she met Frank Costello. Frank and Penny married and had four more children, Ann Ammann, of Cazenovia, Susan (Chris) Raven, of Albany, Nancy (Tony) Imbraguglio, of Maryland, and David (Diane), of Maryland. Penny and Frank had a wonderful life raising eight beautiful children, affording them all the dreams that any family would love. Penny committed and devoted her whole life to raising her family and supporting her husband. She was an exemplary model of independence and strength as she sacrificed her life for others. Her passion, devotion and love will forever be remembered. She was proud to be a wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. Bridging so many aspects of the Cazenovia community with eight children, both Penny and Frank were

at Immaculate Conception Church and as a realtor, a passion which she excelled in throughout the greater Syracuse area. One of Dot’s most powerful gifts was her voice, which she used to advocate to improve situations she felt were in need of change. Dot was predeceased by her husband, Joseph; her sister, Betty; and two of her grandsons, Connor and Matthew. She is survived by her children, James, Joseph, Kevin (Carol), Robert, Patrick (Kathleen), Timothy (Cynthia), Patricia (Michael) Winje, Karen (Christopher) Aquiline; and her cherished grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Dot’s family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, staff, and especially the nurses at Crouse Hospital for their exceptionally compassionate care for Dot when she needed it most.

very active in the Cazenovia community and St. James Church, where Penny was a parishioner for her entire adult life. Fond memories of growing up on a family farm, owning a family restaurant and luxurious vacations were all part of a charmed life for this family of 10. Penny was always there supporting her eight children in their various sporting events and Church activities. From Caz Laker golf to football to soccer to field hockey to wrestling, she was always in the stands supporting her children. Growing up, their weeknights consisted of practices or games and then off to the Nelson Inn for dinner. Surviving to cherish her memory is her sister, Patty Addison, her eight children and their families. Penny was a wonderful grandmother who took such pride in her 20 grandchil-

How far can you hit a golf ball? Are you sure? Every golfer in America wants to know how to hit the ball farther. Farther than what? If you don’t know how far you currently hit a golf ball, how can you determine whether you are hitting it as far as you think you are? Are you sure you hit it 220 yds off the tee or perhaps even 250 or 275 when you brag to your buddies? There is a way to determine, with uncanny accuracy, how far you can hit a golf ball….I’t’s The TrackMan Driver Fitting Chart: TOTAL Optimizer. TrackMan is a radar system that uses Doppler technology to track and record 3D characteristics of a golf ball in motion. It is set up behind the golfer and is about the size of a laptop. With each swing it measures every aspect of the club movement, the trajectory of the ball and it’s landing. It is equipped with a video camera so golfers can watch themselves while looking at information about their swing. It can track the entire flight of the ball from the moment of impact to the point where the ball comes to rest. TrackMan was created in 2003 by golfers Klaus (CEO), Morten Eldridge Jorgensen and engineer Fredrick Tuxen. The team developed the TrackMan system and demonstrated it in the United States to Mizuno, Nike, Ping, Callaway and Taylor Made before they became their first customers. Whether you play competitive golf, you play in a league or are a recreational/casual golfer, TrackMan can give you information about your golf swing that was not available just 20 years ago. Their Driver Fitting Chart predicts how far you can hit a golf ball based on your; club head speed, attack angle, ball speed, launch angle and spin rate. All of these factors and others, are important but I believe the two most important ones are; your “club head speed” and the “attack angle” when your club makes contact with the ball at impact. The definition of club head speed is simply how fast you swing your driver in MPH. Attack angle is a little more difficult to understand. The Technical Definition: It is the vertical direction of the club heads geometric center movement (up or down) at maximum compression of the golf ball, relative to the horizon (ground), at the moment of impact. In layman’s terms, you can maximize distance with your driver by hitting up on the ball

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.

(positive attack angle) and decrease your distance with the driver by hitting too much down (negative attack angle). There are other factors that can influence the distance you hit a golf ball but only a Certified Fitter can properly analyze the data. TrackMan’s “Driver Fitting Chart” is remarkably accurate. It shows how far you hit your driver at different swing speeds. Be careful when you tell your friends you can hit your drives 275yds when your club head speed is only 85 MPH. It is impossible! Want to know how far you really hit your driver? Check out your numbers in TrackMans “Driver Fitting Chart” based on your club head speed.. At 75 MPH you will hit your driver between 182-206yds depending on “attack angle”. At 80 MPH you will hit your driver between 188-209yds depending on “attack angle”. At 85 MPH you will hit your driver between 215-241yds depending on “attack angle”. At 90 MPH you will hit your driver between 231-259yds depending on “attack angle”. At 95 MPH you will hit your driver between 247-276yds depending on “attack angle”. The numbers don’t lie…believe them. As you already know, if you read my columns on a regular basis, there is a way to increase you driver distance…make a commitment to get on a “flexibility and strength” training program for a minimum of 60 days. It “might” increase your club head speed by as much as 5-6 MPH. DO IT! It’s worth it! Now you absolutely know how far you hit a golf ball. Surprised?I would love to see every golfer in CNY have the best season of golf they have ever had.

Volunteers

The month of April has long been recognized as a time to celebrate and honor volunteers. Whether it is the people who give their time to reading programs or providing transport to doctor’s appointments or give time to food pantries or any number of other volunteer opportunities, these people deserve a moment of appreciation whether it is April or any other month on the calendar. Volunteers make a huge difference in our communities by giving their time in a wide variety of capacities and to numerous organizations. Perhaps one of the most prominent of these organizations are the volunteer fire departments that serve our local communities. This is also an organization that has been facing challenges to find volunteers in recent years. According to recruitny.org, the past several years have been challenging for volunteer fire departments throughout New York. Many are faced with decreased membership and increased call volume – which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many other organizations that rely on volunteers, volunteer fire departments are only able to function because of the commitment people are willing to make to their communities and fellow residents. These volunteers, those who give their time to volunteer fire and emergency services, are the people that are often there when people in the community need them the most. These are the people that respond when there is a car accident and the people who are there when there is a fire or medical emergency and they give their time heading into a call no matter the time of day or night, no matter what the temperatures or how snowy or rainy it may be. This committed group of individuals give countless hours answering calls, whether it is the middle of the night or dinner time, they step up. They also give countless hours to training so as to be prepared to answer no matter what they are called out on from fires to medical issues and everything in between. Unfortunately the volunteer fire service has been experiencing many challenges in recent years. For many departments its membership is on the older side. There are members who have dedicated decades to being a part of the volunteer fire service and who are still going out, often the first on the scene, to respond to emergencies. But departments are struggling to attract new and younger members who can step in and ensure the volunteer departments are able to continue to operate well into the future. For many people making the commitment to the fire service is not easy. There are the commitments to training and a need to be available when calls come even when they are at inconvenient times. In today’s world where many are already working many hours a week and have family and other obligations it is understandable that it is not easy to make a commitment to the fire service or any other organization. But if you are able or have ever given consideration to volunteering for the fire service, it may be a commitment that is well worth making. The hours and the commitment people make can go a long way to serving their communities and helping people when they are needed the most. This can be a rewarding experience that is not easily put into words even by those who have served for many years. For more information visit your local fire department or recruitny.org.

I absolutely refused to let her do our laundry. The washing machine was in the garage. There was no dryer but there was a clothes line. I would start to hang the clothes when she would appear to help, reminding me to turn the clothes inside out to prevent fading.

There were no contentious topics, just questions and declarative statements about our lives, as sweet as the fruit that was ripening on the tree. It’s only now, when I have grandchildren, that I realize how important it was to my mother to plan for our visits, to prepare the house, plan the meals and outings. It was her way of expressing her love during the few days when we were together with all of the affection unexpressed in the days we were apart, to recapture, in so many ways the lost days when we were children at home and she was the Mom. My children and grandchildren live nearer to me than we did to her, but I know now how easy it is to want to say “I love you” without words in the preparations, the wrappings, the extras that I do when we are together. It’s my way, like it was her way, to be Mom again. 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.

FROM THE MAILBAG

Wheeler for school board

To the editor: I encourage my fellow citizens to vote for Daryll Wheeler for the board of education because of the sensitivity and sensibility she has demonstrated throughout her tenure and which she will continue to bring to our district during this challenging time. Daryll has been an active participant in the community through her own history in her education here, her teaching career, and her children’s education in this district. She knows the emotional, educational, financial territory, in their values and challenges, as well as the impending issues, and how to seek consensus. Her board involvement includes the audit and facility committees as well as two years as board president -and she is yet willing to lend her deep commitment and expertise to our community. I don’t believe there is a more qualified, committed, informed candidate who understands the physical challenges and balances that well with the commitment that we have to our youth and to inspiring them to be good citizens in all ways. Our children and all of us as citizens benefit from this sensibility and sensitivity that Daryll Wheeler lives and brings to this role. Therefore, I encourage us to choose her If we wish to continue the quality of education for which F- M has always been known and in which we all take such pride for ourselves and for our children.

FM school board candidates

To the editor: I am writing to endorse Daryll Wheeler and Sarah Fitzgerald as candidates for the Fayetteville-Manlius Board of Education. Daryll is running as an incumbent for a third term and Sarah is running for her first term. I have known Daryll for over 30 years and Sarah for over 10, and while they have different backgrounds and life experiences, they have a number of common strengths and attributes, and have a common vision for the students in our school district. Daryll is a product of F-M Schools herself, as are her children and grandchildren. Three of Sarah’s children currently attend F-M schools, and her fourth child will begin kindergarten in the fall. Both candidates are passionate about contributing to their community. They have been active volunteers on a variety of local committees over the years, both in our schools and in non-profit organizations. Because of their ability to share their passions with others and to encourage collaborative team dynamics, they consistently rise to leadership positions. They both aspire to continue this collaborative team style as school board members. They are strong role models of collaborative, inclusive and effective leadership. Daryll and Sarah have the same vision for serving on the F-M School Board: to help initiate, support

and facilitate policies and practices that enable every student at F-M to achieve success to the best of their abilities. In their campaigns, Daryll and Sarah have been working hard to gather input from parents, teachers and other community members about what they think is working well in our schools, and what could be improved. They will be very open to input from a wide array of sources if they are elected. Daryll and Sarah have two special interests that they plan to pursue if elected. It is highly important to both of them to address facilitating students’ access to emotional and social wellness support whenever needed. They also wholeheartedly support the F-M School District’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative. They passionately believe in F-M Schools supporting the whole student—and every student. I wholeheartedly encourage you to vote for Daryll Wheeler and Sarah Fitzgerald for F-M School Board. The primary way that I know both of them is through their children and grandchildren. Observing them as loving, supportive parents gives me the confidence that they will always put ALL children first. Karen Porcello Fayetteville

Changes

To the editor: Voter registrations are changing quickly. Just five years ago, the Republican party registration outnumbered the no-party registration by 250,000. But in five short years, the no-party registrations have gone way up, and now outnumber the Republicans. The Democratic registration lost ground too. This is a significant change. What has not changed is the requirements for a no-party candidate to be on the ballot – a candidate must secure three times more petition signatures than a Democrat or Republican. So, although voter preferences are changing, evident by registration trends, the requirements to be on the ballot remain the same. This trend is a signal to our political leaders that changes are needed to ensure candidates, no matter the party, get a fair shot at being on the ballot. Changes made in other states, such as open primaries, ranked choice voting and parity of signature requirements to be on the ballot, should all be considered. I am running to represent the 122nd Assembly District, and will be on the ballot as a Democrat, but that is not enough. My goal is to represent everyone and to include as many people in the process before election day, so I will be passing an Independent Nominating petition as well – referred to as “Party for a Day.” This petition is often used by no-party candiLetters l Page 7

Airplane Observer Post Here to be Manned 24 hours daily; Need 100 Volunteers – John P. Ledyard of 27 Corwin St., chief air observer for Cazenovia village, is asking for 100 volunteers to man the observation post in Cazenovia. If you are willing to volunteer, call Mr. Ledyard’s home, Phone 133-W. On or about May 17 the post goes on a 24-hour, 7-day a week permanent basis. Included among volunteers it is hoped there will be many housewives and high school young men and women of the junior and senior years. During the past year the local observation post has been operating on a spot alert basis from Mr. Ledyard’s home with personnel of 16 men and women. Recently they were given only a fiveminute alert. Another location will have to be obtained under the new full-time setup as the post cannot be operated on a full-time basis from a residence.

From page 6 dates. The name of my party for the election is common sense. We need action on common sense solutions that address the problems of our generation, and in order to succeed we need more people engaged in the political process. Daniel Butterman Oneonta

Thank you Mark Olson

To the editor: The Fayetteville Senior Center would like to extend grateful appreciation to Mayor Mark Olson for once again sponsoring the annual Mayor’s Dinner that was recently held at the Center. Thanks to the generosity of Mayor Olson and the volunteer efforts of the Center’s board of directors and various Village of Fayetteville personnel, we served more than 300 delicious turkey dinners, complete with everything from stuffing to pie, on what proved to be a glorious Sunday afternoon. The dinner, which is an important annual fundraiser for the senior center, was a resounding success and raised money for programs and meals for our local senior population. Without the ongoing support of Mayor Olson and the village, we would not be able to fulfill our mission of meeting the challenges facing the senior community by offering social events, educational and exercise programs, health screenings, meals, movies, games and other activities. Thank you, Mayor Olson, we are grateful for everything you do for the Center. Janet Callahan, Secretary Fayetteville Senior Center Board

Mother’s Day

To the editor: Mother’s Day didn’t start out as a commercial holiday. Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the stirring Battle Hymn of the Republic during the Civil War had a change of heart. Sick of the carnage of continuing wars, in 1870 she proposed Mother’s Day be celebrated as a day for the women of the world to come together and demand an end to war. Part of the universal peace movement, she endorsed their plan to get every country to agree to mandatory, binding arbitration of any disputes they had with each other. When Matilda Joslyn Gage supported Belva Lockwood’s presidential campaign in 1884, Lockwood

had declared, “war is a barbarism of the past.” Her Equal Rights Party platform endorsed the Universal Peace Union’s plan to end war. If all the nations of the world agreed to settle disputes between them by engaging in mandatory, binding arbitration, war would be taken off the table as an option. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel to create a society based on peace among nations. Over 1,000 years ago, on the shores of Onondaga Lake, five warring nations came together and agreed to form a confederacy of peace among themselves, inviting other nations to join them if they agreed to a peaceful resolution of conflicts. Women were given the final word in maintaining the peace since it was their sons who would be killed in war. The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy of now six nations gives us a model today for living the original Mother’s Day dream of Julia Ward Howe. The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation will hold a “Mother’s Day Call for Peace” in front of the Gage Home (210 E Genesee St, Fayetteville) on Sunday, May 8, at 3pm. We will share sunflower seeds, the Ukranian national flower, a symbol of peace throughout Ukraine’s history, and we will be joined by choristers to sing John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Please join us.

Leadership, openness and vision To the editor: As districts prepare for their board of education elections one can become rather excited about the new developments that schools across the State of New York will be implementing in the years ahead. All schools are to broaden their entire fabric of operation with a new focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. It was however deeply troubling to have heard comments after a recent FayettevilleManlius School Board Meeting where language of hate, racism and ignorance condemned such initiatives. It is for such inappropriate language and thoughts that makes the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion [DEI] initiative essential here in the “enlightened time” of the 21st century. It will take leadership, openness and vision to create a school

district where each individual is met with respect, valued for their uniqueness and appreciated for their contribution to the whole of our community. It is such a foundation that helps to create a civility in our interactions, through awareness and understanding of others, leading to kindness and collaborative success. Daryll Wheeler, Cindy Hefti and Sarah Fitzgerald are three such individuals who are running for the Fayetteville-Manlius School District Board of Education. They each have a dedication to lead and develop the fullest and healthiest school district for our children. These three individuals are driven to create the greatest opportunities for success and safe, respectful learning for each student. Ms. Wheeler has served on the school board for six years, two years as president. She has chaired the audit committee, served on the facilities committee and the ad hoc committee of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee. Her long-term stake holding role with her children and now grandchildren enrolled in the FM district as well as her family having deep roots in public education brings an immense sensitivity toward the changing world into which our children are growing. Ms. Hefti comes from the classroom as an inspiring English teacher. She has an acute understanding of contemporary youth needs and capacities. She has often guided them through a variety of literature weaving together a fabric of experiences that promote a deeper understanding of many members of our society, helping to raise the next generation of thoughtful and sensitive adults. Ms. Sarah Fitzgerald, a human resources professional and mother of four young children is seeking to play a major role in crafting a caring, dynamic and successful school district where her children are better prepared for these modern times. It is with honor that we wholeheartedly endorse their candidacy for the Fayetteville-Manlius School Board of Education. May we and they now begin to weave a more beautiful tapestry for our children by developing an educational system to better promote civil discourse, informed and kinder citizens for our futures together. Ms. Wheeler, Hefti and Fitzgerald are three insightful individuals who can help create a safe, inclusive environment that respectfully incorporates each student as we learn more about and celebrate our differences.

CPF acquires conservation property With the generous support of the Central New York Community Foundation, Cazenovia Preservation Foundation (CPF) has acquired an important conservation property that will provide a significant new addition to the Burlingame Trail Network. In December 2021, the CPF purchased 27.5 acres of undeveloped land with 470 feet of road frontage on US Route 20, west of the Village of Cazenovia. This newly acquired land is located adjacent to other CPFowned property and is part of a larger network of conserved lands that host the very popular Burlingame area trails. This new property will now be known as the “Burlingame Trails Northwest Gateway.” “The importance of this property cannot be overstated,” said Jennifer Wong, CPF executive director. “This acquisition secures permanent public access to 1,400 feet of the Sherman’s Gulch Trail which connects CPF’s uniquely beautiful Sherman’s Gulch property to the larger network of CPF-maintained trails. The Sherman’s Gulch property boasts stunning rugged terrain, ferny glens and a cascading scenic waterfall.” CPF’s Burlingame Trial Network are enjoyed by walkers, hikers, bikers, and the Limestone Creek Hunt Club in the warmer months, and cross-country skiers and snowshoers during the winter. In addition to its importance as an outdoor recreation area, this property has been designated as an important area

So, to only have 18 participants this year and still raise over $23,000 is pretty fantastic.” Cazenovia High School Principal Molly Hagan participated in the event for the first time this year, singlehandedly raising over $8,000. “I participated this year to support the Kelly family, who has done an amaz-

within The Nature Conservancy’s Resilient and Connected Network to support plant and animal species migration and range changes. The acquisition was made possible by the Central New York Community Foundation, out of the first round of grant disbursements from the newlyestablished Dr. Robert J. Vitkus Fund. Bob Vitkus was a successful Central New York oral surgeon and an avid hunter and fly fisherman who loved the outdoors. In his last will and testament, he gave a generous gift to support outdoor parks and recreation, particularly conservation efforts to improve wildlife habitat and forest health. The generous Vitkus gift adds to an impressive history of philanthropy in support of land conservation in the area. The property was purchased from Augustus, Jason, James, and Maxwell Moore, descendants of the Hubbard family, who donated much of the conserved lands in the Burlingame Road area to CPF decades ago. “CPF’s interest in this property dates back nearly two decades,” said Jim Steinberg, CPF board president. “The property has been on and off the market in recent years and was listed for sale again in early 2021. We are extremely appreciative of the Community Foundation, The Robert J. Vitkus Fund and those Cazenovia families that have made this purchase and network of trails possible,”

ing job with this event for our community,” she said. “I hope my participation will inspire high school students to participate in charitable events [and] get involved in non-profit organizations, and also serve as a reminder to serve others. We can all make a difference if we put ourselves out there. In the past, we have had a lot of young people participate and I hope that by participating this year, we will have increased interest from

On April 18, 2022, CPF was awarded two New York State Conservation Partnership Program (NYSCPP) Grants from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund (EPF). The NYSCPP is administered by the Land Trust Alliance in coordination with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). One of these grants will fund the installation of a driveway and parking area off of Rt. 20 at the newly acquired Burlingame Trails Northwest Gateway property to improve maintenance, emergency, and public access to the trail. The grant also will pay for drainage improvements and surface repairs of the trail, the installation of an informational kiosk, trail signage and markers, as well as a gate to prevent unauthorized vehicular traffic from proceeding onto the pedestrian/ bike trail. “We are thrilled about this grant award,” said Jack Stevens, CPF stewardship committee co-chair. “With these grant monies, CPF can properly steward the property and improve the quality of the user experience in this section of the trail network.” Finally, but equally noteworthy, CPF also won a Capacity Grant from the New York State Conservation Partnership Program, which will be used to hire a part-time stewardship manager and bolster administrative support to prepare the renewal application for Land Trust Alliance Accreditation. CPF first earned

accreditation status in 2018 through a detailed process that secured independent verification that their work and operations met high standards for land conservation, stewardship, and nonprofit management. Land trusts must reapply for accreditation every five years. “Maintaining accreditation status is critical to CPF’s success,” said Cynthia Curtin, vice president of CPF’s board. “It’s important for obtaining grants and gives our supporters, potential land donors, and the community confidence that CPF can carry out its conservation mission in perpetuity.” CPF is a private, non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization protecting important historic, agricultural and natural resources in and around the Cazenovia community in Central New York. CPF protects nearly 2,700 acres of farmland and scenic landscapes through conservation easements and owns over 400 acres of open space with thirteen miles of public-use trails. CPF also holds seven historic structure easements that help maintain the character of the historic village center. In 2018, CPF was awarded accreditation from the Land Trust Alliance signifying that the organization has demonstrated fiscal accountability, organizational leadership, sound transaction practices and diligent stewardship of the lands it conserves.

students in the future.” According to Erin, the shavees were cheered on by a crowd of supporters. “We had forgotten how much fun the event can be and what a great feeling it brings to everyone in the room,” she said. “. . . We hope that, if we bring it back in years to come, we’ll have even more participants and support from Cazenovia and surrounding communities. We’re so thankful for the help of the staff from

Cazenovia Central Schools who volunteered their time to work the registration desk, bake sale, emcee the event, and help behind the scenes. We’re also grateful for the guys from Saving Face Barbershop — Taylor Horsman and Zach Fonda — for taking time on their day off to shave for us.” To learn more about the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, visit stbaldricks.org.

Cazenovia boys tennis Boys lacrosse Lakers take trio of tough defeats gets 3-2 win over CBA by Phil Blackwell

by Phil Blackwell

Over the years, the Cazenovia boys tennis team often had its path to the top of the OHSL Liberty division blocked by the likes of Christian Brothers Academy. This is exactly what made the Lakers’ 3-2 victory over the Brothers last Monday afternoon so particularly sweet as close, hard-fought matches went Cazenovia’s way. Traian Cherciu, in first singles, won 6-3, 6-3 over Chanu Yang. By those same scores, Garret Lounsbury lost to Soren Kang, but Jake Wardell got through two close sets to beat Gabriel Yang 6-4, 6-4. Needing a point after Ethan Camp and Carter Ruddy fell 6-0, 6-2 to John Engle and Will Vandemeer, Cazenovia saw Andrew Falso and Gabe Reagan rally to clinch the match 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 over Fabrizio Arezzo and Finn Doyle. The Lakers were then off until Friday afternoon, when it took on Homer and, by a 4-1 margin, was able to improve its overall record to 5-1. Cherciu lost in two sets, but Lounsbury battled past Raymond Meng 7-5, 6-4 as Wardell beat Randolph Kruman 6-2, 6-3. Ruddy and Cy Lurie had a 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 win over Brandon McLaughlin and Jackson Henderson as Reagan and Falso rallied in first doubles to beat Jake Camp and Conor Powers 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.

Weather issues had allowed the Cazenovia boys lacrosse team to sneak in another full week of preparation for its toughest stretch of the regular season. Over the course of six days, the Lakers would take on three high-quality opponents, two of which were direct rivals for supremacy in the area Class D ranks. First was last Monday’s showdown with reigning sectional champion Westhill, a tense game where Cazenovia got off to a terrific start, but could not sustain it in a 9-6 loss to the Warriors. Cazenovia’s attack clicked while building a 4-1 first-quarter lead. But Westhill countered with four unanswered

goals in the second period and took the lead for good. Throughout the second half, Cazenovia tried to regain its early magic but could not do so, seeing Warriors goalie Owen Mahar record 11 saves to prevent a comeback. Brody Coleman and Jack Wright had two goals apiece. James LaFever and Forrest Ives had the other goals, with Chris Vecchiarelli winning 10 of 17 face-offs. For the Warriors, Kyle MacCaull had three goals, with Kyle Rosenberger adding two goals and one assist. Just as instructive was Wednesday’s game against undefeated Christian Brothers Academy at Alibrandi Stadium, where the Lakers were the better team most of the way, yet still fell to the Brothers 12-9.

Chittenango softball blanks Cazenovia, 25-0

by Phil Blackwell While it has battled consistency throughout this young season, the Chittenango softball team can take solace in the way it dominated against its neighbors from Cazenovia when they faced off last Monday afternoon. Enjoying the warm temperatures, the Bears’ bats warmed up, too, and didn’t cool down until it had put together a 25-0 victory over the Lakers. A four-run first inning was followed by nine-run outbursts in the second and third innings, Chittenango eventually producing 17 hits while pitcher Caroline Porter kept Cazenovia hitless. Madison Wagner led the way, going five-for-five with a home run, four singles and three RBIs. Lily Callahan went four-for-five, scored four times and drove in four runs as Allison Soulier also had three RBIs. Lauren Machan scored twice and earned two RBIs. Moving on from this game, Chittenango prevailed again a day later, topping Altmar-Parish-Williamstown 10-2 with runs in the first three innings and a six-run rally in the sixth to get away from the Rebels. Olivia Jackson went three-for-three, with Soulier and Stephanie Huckabee earning two hits apiece as Wagner and Avree Salce joined Soulier in scoring a pair of runs. Then, in a doubleheader Thursday against Hannibal, the Bears overwhelmed the Warriors with 53 total runs, winning the first game 33-4 and the second game with a 19-0 shutout. As this went on, Cazenovia absorbed a 7-5 defeat to Phoenix, dropping to 1-3 on the season, while Chittenango’s win streak continued Friday by topping Westhill 14-6 to move its record to 7-2.

Cazenovia baseball beats Chittenango, 10-6 by Phil Blackwell

When Cazenovia baseball team has managed to take the field around the various weather interruptions, it has put together some big numbers. After piling up 28 runs in an April 22 shutout of Jordan-Elbridge at Cortland’s Gutchess Field, where Jack Byrnes threw a five-inning no-hitter, the Lakers were at it again last Monday against Hannibal, this time “settling” for 20 runs on the way to blasting the Warriors 20-1. Having scored three times in the first and second innings, Cazenovia unloaded for 12 runs in the top of the third, ultimately accumulating 23 hits. Byrnes and Jack Donlin both hit home runs, combining for six RBIs. A.J. Rothfeld went four-for-four and scored four times as Sully Clarke went three-for-four with three RBIs. Donlin also pitched a complete game, striking out 10 and only surrendering three hits. Far more modest numbers were achieved a day later when Cazenovia took on Chittenango, but the Lakers still had more than enough on hand during a 10-6 victory over the Bears. Two first-inning runs got Cazenovia in front. Then, with the score 3-1, the Lakers batted around in the bottom of the fourth, plating six runs to all but put the game away. Helped in no small part by the Bears committing seven errors, Cazenovia saw Donlin score three runs and Byrnes score twice, with Jacob Grevelding and Jacob Szalach earning RBIs. Byrnes pitched six innings and amassed 13 strikeouts as Chittenango got two hits and two RBIs from Ty Kelly. When Cazenovia challenged reigning sectional Class A champion Christian Brothers Academy on Thursday, it got overwhelmed in a 24-1 defeat to the Brothers. With its top pitchers resting, the Lakers gave up nine runs in the first and third innings, only getting on the board when Peter McCole drove home Grevelding in the top of the second. Ethan Harris (four RBIs), Cooper Marko (four-for-four, three RBIs) and Jack Landau (home runs) paced CBA’s 19-hit attack. Baseball l Page 14

It was all due to the third quarter. Prior to that, the game was played at Cazenovia’s pace as it didn’t let CBA quicken the tempo, patiently working the ball around and converting enough to inch in front, 5-4, going to the break. But everything changed in the third period. The Brothers won a series of face-offs and scored seven times, not letting up until it had built an 11-6 advantage. Battling to the end, the Lakers saw Coleman light it up with six goals as Jack Wright scored twice and Vecchiarelli had the other goal. LaFever added an assist as, for the Brothers, Dan Anderson (four goals) and Joe Papa (three goals) led the way. Trying hard to turn this around in Saturday’s game against Marcellus, the Lakers could not quite do so, taking a narrow 7-6 defeat to the Mustangs.

Chittenango lost last Tuesday to Skaneateles, 19-9, unable to keep up with a wellbalanced attack where Ethan Hunt (four goals, one assist), Colin Morrissey (three goals, three assists) and Sean Kerwick (two goals, five assists) also had big point totals. But the Bears turned around Thursday and beat Fulton 21-9, mostly with a three-man show. Vince Lazzaro scored eight times and got two assists, with Connor Meeks-Vaughn getting six goals and four assists as Brandon Barnard banged out nine assists to go with his pair of goals. Then, in Friday’s 21-8 win over Holland Patent, Chittenango got eight goals from Meeks-Vaughn as Barnard gained five goals and three assists. Jack Lamphere had a three-goal hat trick, with Lazarro and Ryan Moesch adding two goals apiece.

Caz boys track fourth at VVS Invitational

The Cazenovia varsity boys outdoor track team took fourth place at the April 23 Vernon-Verona-Sherrill Invitational, where the strength of the team was the 400-meter runners, each achieving season best and sectional qualifying times. Andrew Kent took second place in 51.54 seconds, a time that meets the “super standard” for the Section III state qualifying meet, followed by Dan Millson in fourth place (54.84, personal record) and Jaden Kaplan in eighth place (56.04, personal record). Also, Kent delivered the outstanding individual performance of the meet, winning the 200-meter race in 23.44 seconds, qualifying for June’s state meet and close to the 22.58 school record he set in 2021. Cazenovia had two scorers in the pole vault, with Sam Wilcox and Killian Blouin both clearing 8 feet 6 inches, Wilcox taking fourth place and Blouin fifth place. The 4x100 meter relay team JP Hoak, Tommy Insel, Wyatt Scott, and Andrew Lee took second place in a season- best time of 47.64 seconds. The 4x400 team of Kaplan, Scott, Insel and Kent was third in 3:54.70 Fifth-place finishes included Hoak in the 100 meters (12.34, sectional qualifying); Cooper Hughes in the 800 meters (2:11.40, sectional qualifying); Will Austin in the 3200 meters (11.27.80, personal record) and the 4x800 meter relay team of Millson, Brayden McColm, Quinn Smith, and Will Austin (10:00.80). Smith and Connor Frisbee both had sectional qualifying jumps in the high jump, clearing 5’2”, with Smith taking sixth place. Wilcox rounded out the scoring with a sixth-place finish in the discus (89’ 10.5”, personal record). Individuals achieving personal records on the day included: Frisbee (19.2) and Willem Light-Olsen (22.7) in the 100 hurdles; Austin (5:28.90) and J.D.Dolly (5:33.90) in the 1,600 meters; Braydon Weismore (1:10.54), Light-Olsen (1:15:54), and Matthew Tugaw (1:18.64) in the 400 meter hurdles; Dolly (2:24.90) in the 800; Miles Weiler (31’2”) and Aiden Bailey (29’10”) in the shot put; Weiler (72’3”) in the discus, Weismore (15’6”) in the long jump, and McColm (12:19.30) in the steeplechase. The meet was notable in that it marked the return of senior captain and all-CNY cross country runner Cassidy Gilmore, cleared to compete again after recovering from a nagging injury. The team will receive a huge boost going forward, as Cassidy works his way back to top form. After a meet with CBA on Tuesday, Cazenovia went to Friday’s Onondaga Central Invitational, where it finished third with 56 points, trailing only Class A schools Oswego and East Syracuse Minoa/ Hughes won the 800 in 2:04.76, edging the 2:04.87 from Homer’’s Tommy Mahunik, and Kent tore to victory in the 400 sprint in 51.45 seconds while also helping Hughes, Millson and Kaplan win the 4x400 in 3:37.74. Also, Kent went 22.84 seconds in the 200 for second place, with Clement throwing the discus 102’6” for third place. McColm took fourth in the 1,600 in 5:07.75 as Blouin was sixth in the pole vault and Frisbee seventh in the long jump.

The Cazenovia girls track and field team finally got its weather-delayed regular season off to an impressive start as it won two dual meets and dominated the Onondaga Central Invitational with a first place finish among 18 teams. First, the Lakers topped Christian Brothers Academy 122-18 and overwhelmed On- Bonnie Pittman scored in Tech Charter School 136-3 in three events versus CBA and a double-dual meet contest was one of 19 girls to achieve last Tuesday, achieving 38 new a season best at the meet. season bests despite the cold conditions.

Whitney won the 100 (13.2), 200 (28.1) and anchored the 4x100 relay to victory in 53.8 seconds. Michael won the 100 hurdles (17.8), 400 hurdles (1:17.0) and helped the 4x100 to victory.

Grace Dolan added a trio of wins in the 400 sprint (career best of 1:02.4), 4x100 and 4x400. Corinne Albicker was a double winner as she captured the long jump at 14’2” and helped the 4x100 to first while also adding second place finishes in the 100 hurdles (18.9) and triple jump.

OPINION

Two legends of the ice

Seven days apart, hockey fans around the world found themselves in mourning for two men who, in their own way and with their own styles, fueled championship dynasties bridging the 1970s and 1980s. The passing of Mike Bossy on one Friday in April, and Guy LaFleur the following Friday, seemed especially cruel on the eve of the playoffs, the stage where each of them made permanent marks as their respective team’s most potent scoring threats. It’s unimaginable to ponder Montreal without “The Flowe”, no. 10 in “Bleu, Blanc et Rouge”,, one of the last great players who didn’t wear a helmet, tearing down the ice with those flowing locks. Similarly, the New York Islanders didn’t reach the summit until Bossy arrived, adding skill to a group that already had plenty of toughness and attitude but now had an unstoppable sniper on the wing. My youth of loving hockey (cheering for the Buffalo Sabres, of course) involved Bossy’s Islanders sitting at the top, having dislodged LaFleur’s Habs. Between them, they won it all eight straight formative years.

In terms of pure love from the Montreal faithful, only Rocket Richard and Jean Beliveau topped LaFleur’s standing. All were Quebecois, of course, and their success carried with it a bit of rebellion against the Englishspeaking portion of Canada. No wonder the Forum was as much shrine as it was hockey rink. Even on a team with legends like Dryden, Robinson, Gainey, Lemaire, Cournoyer and Shutt, with the incomparable Scotty Bowman behind the bench, LaFleur carried his own magic. He had so many big goals, none more important than the slap shot in 1979 that made Don Cherry forever pay for having too many men on the ice. Bossy picked up the mantle. No one else has ever scored 50 goals nine straight years. Only Rocket had done the 50-in-50 games thing before, and only some guy everyone called The Great One did it after. But Bossy’s goals-per-game average tops them all– Gretzky, Howe, Ovechkin, everyone. There’s also the 19 straight playoff series wins, almost certain never to be done again. Their careers did differ in how they ended.

LaFleur, similar to Phil Esposito or Brett Hull, chased rainbows a long time after his prime. Bossy left at 32 with his body and mind intact, something even Bobby Orr couldn’t claim. Maybe the best thing about them is that they bridged eras in this sport. Howe, Richard and Bobby Hull carried the sport before, with Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and others taking the torch in the mid-1980s and beyond. Oddly, perhaps the best part about them was that, because they were great but part of all-time great teams, they never got drawn into the tiresome GOAT debates that plague so many sports. LaFleur had a squad of Hall of Fame teammates. So did Bossy, who had Bryan Trottier, Denis Potvin, Billy Smith, Clark Gillies, John Tonelli and Bobby Nystrom around to make their own impact on a team coached so well by Al Arbour and built perfectly by Bill Torrey. In both instances, it was vast, wildly divergent talents who, put together, produced some of the best hockey ever played. No one person did it alone – something we might need to remember.

Random Thoughts

Phil Blackwell

These days, regardless of the team sport, it’s too easy to fixate on a superstar (especially quarterbacks) and hang the glory of championships solely on them. They’re ready-made narratives, perfect for hot takes and a whole lot of hot air. Reality is different, and the NHL provides the ultimate antidote. When they hand out the Stanley Cup, every player and coach associated with the run gets carved into the trophy, and most of them are granted a full day to take the Cup home, the experience of a lifetime. Great as Guy LaFleur and Mike Bossy were, and singular as their talents, they always understood, and conducted themselves, as small parts of a larger story of accomplishment. They had every right to feel entitled to idol worship, and preferred to be down-toearth. No wonder their deaths hurt so much, even if it was divinely timed as 16 teams begin their spirited pursuit of the same hockey Grail they once made their own.

Laker girls lax takes loss to Westhill Cazenovia girls golf opens with defeats by Phil Blackwell

Hitting the heart of its league schedule, the Cazenovia girls lacrosse team looked for any sort of momentum. But the Lakers lost on April 24 to Marcellus 15-3, a game where only Madison DeAngelis, Dali Dennisson and Riley Knapp were able to pick up single goals. Julia Reff tacked on an assist, with Mackenzie Halliday picking up six saves. On the Mustangs’ side, Claire Card had five goals and one assist, with Anna Spitzer and Lucy Powell each scoring three times and Spitzer getting three assists. Looking to turn it around when playing at

Christian Brothers Academy on Wednesday night, Cazenovia instead saw the Brothers play a big first half on the way to topping the Lakers 18-8. Scoring at will in the early going, CBA was up 13-3 by the break, with Gracie Britton earning six goals and two assists and Amelia Bonacci matching that point total with five goals and three assists. Finding some success in the late going, the Lakers saw Knapp pick up four goals, with Charlie Prior getting two goals and one assist. DeAngelis got three assists and Megan Kuhn two assists as Katie Rajkowski and Caitlyn Smithers earned one goal apiece.

Through a month of starts and stops, the Cazenovia girls golf team kept practicing and waited for its 2022 season to get underway. And when it finally did last Monday at Camillus Golf Club, Sophie Clancy had the best individual round, but it wasn’t quite enough for the Lakers in a 216-237 defeat to Westhill. Clancy’s nine-hole score of 49 in windy conditions was one shot better than the Warriors’ Catherine Dadey.

Another setback came on Saturday, Cazenovia falling 3-0 to Phoenix in a game that was scoreless, Donlin matching Ty Corey zero for zero, until the Firebirds struck for all of its runs in the top of the seventh. Clarke, in defeat, went three-for-three, with Donlin adding a pair of hits. Before this, Chittenango, who has gone through its own early-season ups and downs, met Homer last Monday and struggled in a 9-4 defeat to the Trojans. They traded two-run rallies in the first inning before Homer went in front with three runs in the third, then pulled away late as Ian Gilbert went three-for-four with two RBIs.

Claire Marris had a 60, but Westhill’s Hannah Johnston equaled it and her teammates, Charlotte Ross (52) and Bella Jones (55) topped the 61 from Grace Probe and 67 from Kim Marris. In Thursday’s 200-225 defeat to Christian Brothers Academy, Clancy shot 48 to equal the Brothers’ Grace Catalano and Bella Meade, while Marris and Probe both improved to 56. Bella Fazio had a 65, matched by Jordan Bradley as Lucy Hagan shot 66.

The Bears got two hits and two RBIs from Austin Khammar, with Kelly scoring twice as Drew Thomas and Tanner King each had an RBI and Carlos Torres-Carman scored two runs, aside from pitching four innings. After the loss to Cazenovia, Chittenango recovered on Thursday with an 11-1 win over Hannibal that featured two hits and four RBIs from Carlos Torres-Carman as David Bruno drove in a pair of runs. Austin Khammar and Bryce Bishop had two hits apiece. On Saturday, the Bears blanked Fulton 5-0 behind pitcher Kyle Peryer, who struck out six and held the Red Raiders to five hits, also getting two hits at the plate as he and Kelly both earned RBIs.
