Liverpool, C-NS lax fall to league rivals by Phil Blackwell
Genesee, found itself chasing the Wildcats throughout the evening and taking an 11-7 defeat. In Liverpool’s case, its 7-1 record had included a lone April 21 defeat to West Genesee, but it had recovered two days later to beat Essex (Vermont) 13-3 as Dom Osbeck picked up four goals, with three others – Aaron Clouthier, Joe Sacco and Jalen Graham – each had two goals and one assist. B’ville provided a far greater challenge, yet for two quarters Liverpool matched whatever the Bees threw at them, ultimately reaching the half in a 7-7 tie. What made the difference was the way B’ville’s defense adjusted, making several key stops as, on the other end, the Bees remained consistent in converting its opportunities. Graham and Michaud
No one can question the vast progress the Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse boys lacrosse teams have made in the first half of the 2022 regular season. Only against the best and most established foes have both of these sides faced some struggles, as was the case when they each lost highprofile games on the same chilly Tuesday evening. At Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium, Liverpool challenged undefeated Baldwinsville for first place in the SCAC Metro division and played on even terms for a while, only to see it get away in a 15-10 loss to the Bees. Back at Bragman Stadium, C-NS, in the first of two regularseason encounters with West

For B’ville, Keegan Lynch got four goals and two assists as Trey Ordway and Ryan Hollenbeck each scored three times. C-NS was back home, confronting a West Genesee side that
was getting into gear following a 3-3 start under its own first-year head coach, Eric Burns. Once it fell behind 3-1 by the end of the first period, the Northstars found itself doing well in the second quarters, only to have the Wildcats match it and still have a 7-5 edge going to the break.

Film school’s special permit in jeopardy
Planning board wants American High to make changes or face fines By Russ Tarby COntributing writer The Village of Liverpool Planning Board met for nearly two hours on April 25 to review recent neighborhood complaints about the film company American High and its Academy at Syracuse Studios, at the former Liverpool High School at 800 Fourth St. The board reviewed a list of 19 concerns presented by Village Codes Officer Bill Reagan reflecting repeated complaints registered with his office by the school’s neighbors. The concerns ranged from the trade school’s lack of accreditation to its need to limit truck traffic between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily. “Neighbors are most concerned with the truck traffic happening outside of the permitted times and the parking of trucks overnights on the school premises,” Reagan said. A 2017 special-use permit and a 2020 siteplan approval from the village both prohibited parking on the tennis or basketball courts along Birch Street, Reagan said, except for
overflow parking during film shoots. Regardless, such parking has become routine on the 6.9-acre property. A handful of neighbors attended the April 25 meeting as compared to about 40 who turned out for the March 28 meeting which also dealt with the complaints. Representing American High on April 25 were Director of Operations Heath Cottengim. Director of Development Matt Sacca, building supervisor Paul Stacey and movie producer and American High partner Will Phelps. Planning Board Chairman Joe Ostuni Jr. asked them to consider finding alternative parking lots in the area. Board member Bob Bradt advised them to “stop kicking the can down the road…set a goal and get things done. Let’s reach a compromise that works. It’s time to resolve these issues.” Member Sam Reppi recommended finding alternative parking sites and employing a shuttle system. “I see trucks as 80 percent of the problem,” Reppi said. “This is the big one you’ve got to take off your plate. Take care of it the way you
would if it was your grandma’s home.” Ostuni predicted that if the various issues remain unresolved, “We’ll have to take action.” To that end, Village Attorney Richard Andino read a proposed resolution stipulating that the owners of the property cease violating terms of its special permit and site plan or risk their possible revocation. Ostuni hinted that continued violations could result in fines being issued and court cases instituted. The discussion, including debate over the resolution, will continue at the board’s meeting next month. Meanwhile Reagan is working directly with the Academy at Syracuse Studios to draw up revisions to their special-use permit and site-plan approvals to address the neighbors’ and the village’s concerns. “We’ll also try to fulfill the needs of the Academy to the maximum extent possible given that it is located in a residential neighborhood,” Reagan said. “It’s our intent to address any modifications at the May 23 planning board meeting.”
At a special 8 a.m. meeting on Monday, April 24, the Liverpool Village Board of Trustees passed the proposed 2022-2023 village budget. Earlier this month, the board – Mayor Gary White, and trustees Matt Devendorf, Christina Fadden, Dennis Hebert and Michael LaMontagne – was considering a $2.9 million budget, but when adding in various grants received by the village, the total increased by more than $400,000. Despite the larger budget, the village property tax rate will remain flat at $11.95 per $1,000 of assessed value, the same as last year. A village property assessed at $100,000 will receive a tax bill for $1,195. “The budget includes revenue and expenses for the Main Street Reimbursible grant for 11 properties in the village approved by Onondaga County,” according to Village Clerk Mary Ellen Sims. “The village is the ‘pass through’ agency for this grant. This has a zero effect on the budget.” Also included on both the revenue and expense sides of the budget are other grants that have been approved or are awaiting approval, Sims said. The new budget calls for spending more than $75,000 in capital projects, including the purchase of a new department of public works vehicle for $50,000, plus funding for construction of a new salt shed and to improve the village hall’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. The 2021-22 budget reduced the village’s tax rate from $12.45 per $1,000 of assessed value to $11.95 per $1,000, after the 2020 reassessment of village properties by the town of Salina. Along with the taxes, village property owners also pay a $130 annual sewer-fund assessment.
Republicans nominate incumbents Two incumbent trustees – Matt Devendorf and Mike LaMontagne – were nominated by the Liverpool Village Republican Caucus on April 28 at the village hall. Village Republican Chairman Joe Ostuni Jr. confirmed the nominations by email shortly after the caucus adjourned. Devendorf and LaMontagne will likely run unopposed in June. Democrats have failed to field any candidate for village office since 2001. The Democrats have not conducted a caucus here in the past 21 years. Devendorf is vice president of sales and marketing at Young & Franklin/Tactair. He was first elected to the village board in 2016, and is now seeking his fourth twoyear term. LaMontagne is a senior principal architect at C&S Companies in Syracuse and was first elected in 2018. He is seeking his third term as trustee.

History Mystery North
Do you know anything about this picture? By Dorothy Heller Clay Historian
This week’s question: Do you recognize this woman? As a youth, she spent much of her time at a place owned by her grandfather. Who was he, and what did she do there? Last week’s answer: Toward the end of 1976, the State Department of Transportation (DOT) began a project to make improvements along the Syracuse-Fulton-Oswego rail line that called for replacement of the pictured 82-year-old railroad bridge. It spanned the Oneida River east of Three Rivers. According to DOT officials, the replacement would aid Miller Brewing Co.’s Oswego County plant and “any other industry that comes along.” The present bridge, built in 1892, could accommodate only four trains a day and was limited in total capacity because of the ancient bridge and also in speed, according to Don Hutchins and Mike Green, associate civil engineers with T’s design section. Upgrading the bridge would allow trains to cross at 30 miles per hour. The existing speed limit was 10 miles per hour, the engineers said, to reduce vibrations which could damage the span. “The bridge is basically in good shape,” Hutchins said, “but the quality of steel used
then to build bridges was not as good as that used today, so we really don’t know how sound it is.” The present bridge’s capacity was not as great as the planned span either. The project included a new 218-foot truss bridge with two approach spans and was due to be completed in February 1978. Funds for the project were part of an $811 million state and federal Rail Preservation Bond issue approved in a referendum by state voters in November 1974. An estimated cost could not be given because projection costs could influence bidding on the project. Upgrading of the rail line along this section would be conducted by railroad crews. “Rail traffic will be interrupted for a maximum of three days to install the new bridge,” the engineers said. Plans called for the new bridge superstructure to be placed on a barge and floated to the site after the old bridge was lowered onto another barge and removed. Preparations before setting the new span in place included sinking caissons for a new foundation. According to the engineers, horizontal clearance would increase by three feet with the new bridge. Other dimensions, including the 20-foot maximum clearance above the water, would remain basically unchanged. When asked how important the new bridge was, Hutchins answered, “Right now the trains are limited in the loads they can carry and in speed. With the new bridge
the trains will be able to carry full loads at normal speeds and that is important to the brewery operation and any other industry that comes along. The brewery is the immediate beneficiary of the new bridge, though.’ Although in 1976, when the outcome of this planned project was unknown — whether it would result in an increase in the number of trains slated for runs on the line, it seems today that it did. The sound of the train whistle is an everyday occurrence. (And many times!) Email your guess to editor@eaglestarreview. com or leave a message at 315-434-8889 ext. 332 with your guess and your name by noon Friday. If you are the first person to correctly identify an element in the photo before the deadline, your name and guess will appear in next week’s newspaper, along with another History Mystery feature.

Baltimore Woods features student art Fluffy little owls sitting on a branch. A sea turtle swimming through waves of blue. A butterfly approaching similarly-colored flowers against a watercolor sky. These images are among the nature-inspired works of art on display in the 2022 Student Art Exhibit at Baltimore Woods Nature Center. Now through June 3, student work, from kindergarten through the high school levels, may be seen in the art gallery of the Interpretive Center. The public is invited to attend the show on Saturdays throughout May. Those interested in viewing the gallery Monday through Friday, 9 to 4 p.m., are asked to call the office at 315-673-1350 in advance to arrange a viewing time. The nature center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road in Marcellus and there are no admission or parking fees. Connecting children with the natural world and educating children to become good stewards of the earth are among the primary goals of Baltimore Woods Nature Center. The creation and appreciation of nature-inspired art is one of the many ways of making those fundamental connections. “This is an exhibit that always makes us smile. It is so enjoyable to see what the students produce - from the fresh and expressive work of the kindergartners through to the accomplished renderings of the senior students. This year we are pleased to have a variety of artwork by students from Auburn, Skaneateles, Marcellus, and
Onondaga School District,” says Gallery Coordinator Karen Jean Smith. “The art educators go above and beyond their normal responsibilities to make their students’ work available for this show, and we are very appreciative of their efforts.”

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
When considering school board candidates
To the editor: There is a lot of controversy across this country regarding what ought to be taught in public schools and what role parents ought to have in that equation. I read a post in which the person wrote: “Not sure where this ‘parents should control what is taught in schools because they are our kids’ is originating, but parents do have the option to choose to send their kids to a hand-selected private school at their own expense if this is what they desire. The purpose of a public education is not to teach kids only what parents want them to be taught but to teach them what society needs them to know.” I found that disturbing in its arrogance that parents ought not to have a role in that process as well as it saying that if you don’t like it, then spend your own money somewhere else (ignores the fact that every parent is paying school taxes to begin with). That statement smacks of big brother control of citizens, indoctrinating kids as those in power see fit. This is not the principle that our great country stands on. Family and parental rights was and ought to remain the foundation. I believe all or most of this heated controversy stems from the fact that schools have decided to teach more than basic academics encompassed in something emanating from the U.S. Department of Education and strangely, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) wherein topics such as critical race theory, gender fluidity, equity vs. equal opportunity and all the other progressive topics of society today are woven into a variety of basic subjects including even math. It seems that parents should have an absolute right to be involved in

those discussions and decisions so as to be confident that what their children learn at home is being supported and not compromised at school. It would be concerning if that wasn’t the case. But sadly, progressive, woke themes are being implemented whether parents like it or not. In looking at who is running for a seat on the school board, it might be wise to consider endorsements. The school board made up of community members ought to be as objective as possible and not beholden to any group or progressive ideology I would think. While it is fine for a teacher’s union to like and endorse particular candidates, I wonder if in principle we should be wary of such endorsements because in a sense it would be like employees deciding who their bosses ought to be. Might the students and community be better served by choosing candidates that have no vested interest or ideology except an interest entirely for what is best for students along with their parents? Such a candidate will at times certainly challenge controversial themes versus rubber stamping what federal and state agencies or even teachers say must be done. At the very least, conversations on such topics ought to be encouraged and welcomed instead of disparaging those who have the courage to speak out and question what is going on in our schools.

Hospitals merging?
To the editor: As a concerned citizen, I feel it is necessary to speak up about the Upstate and Crouse Hospital merger, which would end up creating the largest health system in the state. First and foremost, I question if there has even been a due diligence process created. My action plan would start with forming a

committee combined of at least 1012 people that are doctors, nurses, lawyers, administrators, union reps., etc. from both organizations. They are the ones that understand the day to day operations and their input would be far greater than the state just telling them this is a good idea. We have been down this road before with the criminal justice reform (Cashless Bail, Raise the Age, Discovery Law) over the last few years where there was no input from industry experts such as DA’s, judges or police officers. It was only state law-makers doing what they felt was best without proper research. For those that have forgotten, a similar merger happened with Community Hospital and Upstate back in 2011. The state came in and saved the failing private entity. Fast forward to today, Crouse’s financial health is at stake and the state is here to bail them out. We have to remember that Upstate Hospital is a state funded hospital and also a SUNY school. I’m all for making sure that our hospitals do not fail and are able to provide the necessary services to our communities but I don’t support using state tax dollars to bail out failing organizations. As a state, we have many concerns to worry about, like infrastructure, education and public safety. The list goes on but I’m sure reading this, you as a taxpayer understands the true message. My proposal would be to have Upstate sell off some of their properties they own that aren’t being used to help fund this deal instead of only using taxpayers’ money. Rumor has it, that this is already a done deal and like an old wise tale goes, “When you hear about something, it’s already too late.” Dominick J. Ciciarelli Candidate NYS Assembly 128th District

OPINION
Two legends of the ice tude 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 English-speaking 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

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

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.

Soaking willow bush branches and stripping away their bark were likely among young Ken Hurst’s earliest childhood assignments. It was 1925 or so, and he and his German-immigrant family lived on the 800-block of Oswego Street. In the family’s backyard stood a shack where the Hurst’s weaved willow baskets. I first got to know Ken Hurst about 35 years later when he ran the S&K, a quintessential mom-and-pop grocery store on Second Street where I would buy White Rock soda pop, comic books, ice cream, bubble gum, jawbreakers, Pez and plenty of penny candy.
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-in50 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 Ar-
Phil Blackwell bour 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. 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-to-earth. 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.

by Phil Blackwell 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 atti-

Baldwinsville History Mystery
Do you know anything about this picture?
This week’s question: Do you know the location of this photo? What was happening and why? When did it take place? Last week’s answer: Traffic on Syracuse Street was not an issue when this photo was taken more than a century ago. A horse drawn vehicle and a couple of pedestrians may be seen in the distance. The photographer was standing in the street facing south with the camera angled toward the east side of the street. Three clues help to date the photo and its location. The distinctive spire of First Baptist Church is visible at the far right; the church is located on the northwest corner of Syracuse and Tappan streets. Trolley tracks and flat terrain date the photo as being taken between 1900 and 1906. Although trolley service arrived in Baldwinsville in 1899, the trolley did not extend across the Seneca River until after the new bridge was constructed in 1900. In 1906 construction of the Barge Canal changed the contour of the street which was raised to allow vessels to pass under the canal bridge. Canal construction also required relocation or
demolition of several structures to create a channel for the new waterway. Several of the structures on the east side of street stand yet today. The small one-story building with the Haberle sign at the far left was J.T. Carroll’s café. Built on the edge of the river’s south side bank, its address was 1 Syracuse St. The large frame building to its right housed T. H. Shoens shop, which featured confectionery items as well as tobacco and cigars. Today the Suds Factory River Grill occupies this building as well as the parcel that held Carroll’s café. The three-story brick building seen next was built by Drs. Mason and Molby, who ran a drug store. The business featured a wide variety of patent medicines including Electric Bitters which was reputed to cure all diseases of the liver, kidney and blood. At 50 cents a bottle, it was quite popular. The building and the business were sold to druggists Gardner and Davis in 1898 and became an anchor in the southside business district. The neighboring two-story brick building went up in 1880. Built by Seth Dunbar, it was a
drug store until Gardener & Davis moved in next door. Dunbar then sold it to James Shea, who converted it to Shea’s Hotel. A series of businesses followed and the building was demolished in 1967. The next frame building was once the Globe Hotel; at the time of the photo it housed a couple of shops on the ground floor. Its neighbor to the south was the office of prominent attorney Dewitt C. Greenfield. The tall spire seen next is part of the Quinlan Hotel. Located on the northeast corner of Syracuse and Water streets, the hotel was an anchor of the “Southside Four Corners.” The hotel would soon be moved to the north side of Marble St. to make room for construction of the new canal. A narrow street comes next, Marble Street, and the last discernible business is Russell’s Hardware, once Fugett’s blacksmith and wagon shop. Shortly after this photo was taken the building was used by Stewart Construction Co., builder of the new canal, as a company store. Described as “rickety,” the wooden structure was demolished when no longer needed by Stewart. Today the site is a parking lot for Canal Side Café and Bistro. The three-story frame building seen on the west side of the street was the Blanchard and Frazee Novelty Mill. Its neighbors to the south include the Brown Block and First Baptist Church. Most of the structures on this side are no longer standing. While several of these buildings remain, many changes have occurred. Today it may not be wise to stand in the middle of Syracuse Street to take documentary photos.
Email your guess to editor@ baldwinsvillemessenger.com or leave a message with your guess and your name at 315-434-8889 ext. 310 by noon Friday. If you are the first person to correctly identify an element in the photo before the deadline, your name
and guess will appear in next week’s newspaper, along with another History Mystery feature. History Mystery is a joint project of Sue McManus of the Museum at the Shacksboro Schoolhouse and Bonnie Kisselstein of the Baldwinsville Public Library.

Historical society plans plant sale By Jason Gabak Editor

On May 13 and 14, the Skaneateles Historical Society will host its fourth annual Spring Plant Sale which helps support the work of the historical society. According to museum director Geralyn Huba, there will be a wide variety of plants for sale.
With about 50 varieties of plants there will be everything from perennials, native plants, shrubs and much more. The first sale came about four years ago in 2019 as an idea proposed by historical society board members Julie DiBagio and docent Colleen Plimpton. Plimpton is a master gardener who offered to dig up a few hundred plants

raise $1,500 for the historical society. Since 2019 the fundraiser has proven popular with all involved while also being a successful event for the historical society. “The plant sale has grown in ways we could never have imagined,” Huba said. “We went from selling a few hundred plants the first year, to over 750 last year, primarily from Colleen Plimpton’s magnificent garden, and then a 100 or so from volunteers and friends of the SHS. Our profit was over $5,000.” Ahead of the sale a lot of work goes into preparation. Huba also credits a dedicated group of volunteers for making this event so successful. “This event is almost totally volunteer driven, it is something the dedicated committee of six works on for the entire year beforehand, especially March and April when they pot up the plants, storing them in Colleen’s driveway, move and cover them depending on the weather, create the labels, help with the publicity, and then pray for good weather the day of the event,” Huba said. “But the beauty is it will be rain or sun or sunshine. We will be here on the 13th and 14th ready to help people plan their gardens.” Huba said this work pays off and connects with the people who come to purchase plants each year. “People have come to love this sale because we do most of the hard work for them, pick out the right plants, pot them with a special soil mix that Colleen has created,” Huba said. “We label the plants for the appropriate place in someone’s garden - sun or shade, etc., and we sell them at incredibly reasonable prices.” The variety offered is also a draw.
Submitted photo
The Skaneateles Historical Society will host its fourth annual Spring Plant Sale May 13 and 14. ““The variety of plants over 50 different types - appeals to people very much,” Huba said. “Popular sellers are the hostas from Bob Eggleston’s Trolley building on East Genesee Street, poppies, bleeding hearts, and small flowering plants that look lovely as soon as you pop them into the ground.” All involved have found that supporters have come back year after year. The reasons vary from just a love of plants to support for the historical society, but no matter the reason they come, Huba said the support means a great deal to the historical society. “After our first year folks have been marking their calendars for the event,” Huba said. “I think people know the quality is excellent, the amount of effort that has gone into making it successful is appreciated and respected, and the monies all go towards operating expenses for the SHS. We, like so many other not for profits, were hurt quite badly with income and revenue dips of almost 20% each of the past two years, so every dollar helps. It’s a good cause.” This year also marks an important milestone for the historical society, one Huba
said will be celebrated in a number of ways. “May 23, 1992 was the dedication of the SHS at the Creamery Museum and we will be celebrating this 30th anniversary year with a variety of programs, mini exhibits, talks, and work on the buildings which will ensure their stability for at least the next 30 years,” Huba said. “Our emphasis is that even if you only moved here a few months ago, or were born and raised here, this is your historical society, these are your museum buildings, and our collective past is here, and we want to continue to share it.”

L’pool softball edges Marcellus, blanks B’ville by Phil Blackwell
In consecutive games, the Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse softball teams were both scheduled to take on undefeated Baldwinsville for early superiority in the SCAC Metro division. Prior to that, the Warriors, rebounding from April 23 defeats to Victor and Williamsville North, went to Marcellus last Monday and prevailed in a 1-0, eight-inning classic over the Mustangs. All through regulation, the two pitchers did their parts, with Cassie Wiggins allowing eight hits but
constantly finding her way out of trouble as Liverpool couldn’t do much against Marcellus ace Aubrey Fraher. However, in the top of the eighth Ava Falvo reached base and Joelle Wike drove her home, one of just two hits on the afternoon. Then Wiggins closed out her completegame shutout that included 11 strikeouts. Great as that win was, what Liverpool did on Thursday against undefeated Baldwinsville was far more impressive, the Warirors teeing off on the Bees in a 13-0 shutout. Even though B’ville carried a 9-0
record into the game, Liverpool lit up Bees pitchers Taylor Tripodi and Bella Hotchkiss, getting 18 hits and scoring multiple runs in five different innings. Falvo, Joelle Wike, Jenna Wike and Lauren Ragonese each finished with three hits, and every Warriors batter got at least one hit as Tristen LaForte doubled and drove in three runs. Falvo and Joelle Wike had two RBIs apiece. What made this remarkable was that B’ville had floored C-NS 17-1 earlier in the week. A three-run first inning and six-run third inning had C-NS in trouble before it netted its
lone run in the top of the fourth, but B’ville kept adding to its total. Between them, pitchers Sydney Puttkamer and Eva Farone allowed 21 hits, four each by Bella Nazdan and Ayla Fleming as Bella Hotchkiss earned three RBIs and pitcher Taylor Tripodi limited the Northstars to three hits while striking out 14. To its credit, C-NS turned it around Thursday and crushed Fayetteville-Manlius 23-7, a close game broken wide open when the Northstars netted 10 runs in the top of the fifth, with nine more runs in the next two innings.
All told, there was 30 hits, five each by Farone and McKayla Barrett, who combined for seven RBIs. Farone also scored five runs as Paige Pangaro got four RBIs. Riley Barrett, Danielle Filapello and Tahlia Gerardi had four hits apiece, with Filapello and Gerardi each tallying three RBIs. Bella Julian drove in a pair of runs. Playing in a doubleheader Saturday at the Gillette Road complex, C-NS split those games, falling 10-2 to Section V’s Victor, but handling West Genesee 12-2 as it used 11 runs in the third through fifth innings to get away.
C-NS girls star at meet C-NS baseball team’s win streak ended by F-M by Phil Blackwell
Whether inside or outside Central New York, the Cicero-North Syracuse girls track and field team knows how to impress anyone again which it competes. The Northstars again stood out in the last days of April, taking team honors at Saturday’s Chittenango Invitational after Hannah Boyle went to the Penn Relays in Philadelphia and set a Section III record in the 1,600-meter run. In the High School Girls Mile Run at Franklin Field, Boyle’s time of four minutes, 46.50 seconds shattered the previous mark of 4:48.05 set by Tully’s Brooke Rauber two years ago. And it nearly gave Boyle a victory as she placed second in that race, beating most of an elite national field that included teammate Kate Putman, who was fifth in 4:48.46. Juliette Whittaker, from Mount de Sales (Maryland), won in 4:41.18. Two days later, the C-NS girls would win at Chittenango with 93 points over second-place Fayetteville-Manlius (70 points) by getting three victories from Lilly Capria. First, in the high jump, Capria cleared 5 feet 3 inches as no one else topped 5 feet. Then Capria wonthe long jump with a top leap of 15’8 ¾ to edge the 15’5” from FabiusPompey’s Jamie Ratliff, and was nearly a foot ahead of the field in the triple jump by going 35’ 1/4” as teammate Morgan Hayes was third with 33’7”. Boyle and Putman, back from their trip to Philadelphia, paired with Jaydin Mackey and Grace Murray to win the 4x400 relay in 4:05.79, more than 11 seconds ahead of the field. Putman stepped up and won the 400 hurdles in 1:06.37, going 1-2 with Grace Murray, who was second in 1:09.41, while Boyle was second (59.97 seconds) in the 400-meter dash to Westhill’s Ashley Bolesh, who won in 57.01. Danielle Crivelli took second in the 100 hurdles in 16.82 seconds. C-NS also got third in the 4x800 relay in 10:30.34. Cha’Nya Jones earned sixth place in the shot put. Liverpool had Ryan Hagan compete at the Penn Relays Friday in the boys 3,200-meter run, where he took 17th place in a time of 8:46.69. Meanwhile, the girls Warriors had its own strong showing in the Chittenango Invitational, including the 4x100, where Sophia Jarosz, Mia Wright, Mikayla Greene and Janea Hamilton-Brown prevailed in 51.43 seconds as C-NS was third in 52.27. Hamilton-Brown had a third-place shot put toss of 30’3 1/2”. Eva Woodworth took third in the girls mile in 5:31.11, with Meghan Moyer sixth. Beatrize Gurgol finish fourth in the girls pentathlon with 1,629 points while the Warriors were third in the 4x400 in 4;25.51 and fifth in the 4x800. Taylor Page took fifth in the 800. The C-NS boys also had a strong showing, with Trevon Walker, Zuriel Dickerson, Josh Adams and Carlton Garnes third in the 4x100 in 45.96 seconds, with James McConnell, Liam Adams, Jake Trubia and Dan Henry third in the 4x400 in 3:42.57. Sean Graves got second in the 400 hurdles in 1:02.37, with Garnes earning a third-place triple jump of 38’9”. Gavin McAllister was third in the pole vault, clearing 10’6”, and took fourth in the 400 sprint in 53.34 seconds. Nathan Connors ran to fourth in the 800 in 2:06.82. Dante Melfi was fifth in the boys mile in 4:42.90, with Vince Pisa seventh in the shot put.

l From page 1 Then, similar to Liverpool, C-NS was kept quiet for large portions of the second half. What was more, only three different players scored. Ian Leahey got four goals, Mason Blakeman scored twice and Mason Ciciarelli had one goal. Elijah Martin had two assists. Liam Burns paced WG with three goals as Ryan Mahoney, Jack Mellen and Teshale Kelly had two goals apiece. Liverpool would rebound from the WG defeat in a big way by going to Fayetteville-Manlius Thursday and, by a 14-7 margin, complete a regular-season sweep of the Hornets. Unlike their April 12 encounter at LHS Stadium (a 9-8 win), the Warriors had control from the outset, speeding to a 5-1 lead by the end of the first quarter and pulling further away early in the second half. Sacco had four goals and one assist, with Clouthier getting three goals and two assists. Michaud and Graham each converted twice, Michaud adding two assists as Osbeck got a goal and two assists. Furr and Gavin Kenna tacked on single goals. C-NS took its own shot at B’ville Friday at Bragman Stadium and lost, 12-4, to the Bees, only getting one goal in each quarter as Ciciarelli had two of them, the others going to Leahey and Carter. Blakeman had a pair of assists. In Saturday’s game at Watertown, Liverpool handled the Cyclones 16-6. with Furr netting four goals as Sacco and Osbeck both had three goals and three assists. Graham and Michaud had matching totals of two goals and two assists as Gavin Kenna had two goals and one assist.

If anyone needed a prime example of the fickle nature of baseball, Cicero-North Syracuse offered it. Undefeated in its first six games this spring, the Northstars visited 0-2 Fayetteville-Manlius last Monday – and promptly got beat, its comeback falling just short in a 5-4 loss to the Hornets.F-M struck for a pair of first-inning runs off C-NS starter Sam Shaw and added two runs in the fourth after the Northstars cut the deficit to 4-1. As it turned out, the Hornets’ fifth-inning tally that made it 5-1 was needed, for C-NS would score once in the sixth and twice in the top of the seventh before Sam Kuss, in relief of Max Danaher, was able to record the final out. Corey Cartier managed a home run and two RBIs as Logan Karwowski and Anthony Testa also drove in runs. Battista Wood and Casey Gunnip pitched well in relief of Shaw as, For F-M, Robert Mason tripled, singled twice and drove in two runs, with Seth Albert adding three hits and an RBI. Ironically, Liverpool was F-M’s next
opponent, but the Warriors would have a far different outcome, scoring four times in the first inning and pulling further away from there to beat the Hornets 11-1, Noah Klasen pitching six innings and giving up just four hits along the way. Taking advantage of four F-M errors, the Warriors saw Andrew Contos and Jack Hoppe each pick up a pair of hits. Nathan Benjamin, Alex Evans and Gianni Toscano each scored twice as Benjamin joined Tyler Vivacqua and James Tearney in the RBI column. Yet when F-M met C-NS again Wednesday in the “Strike Out ALS” event at NBT Bank Stadium, the Hornets again got the best of it, rolling past the Northstars 11-2. Bryce Zicaro, who tossed a two-hit shutout at Baldwinsville in his last start on April 22, was tagged for four runs in the first inning. Zicaro settled down until the fifth, when he was knocked out by a Hornets lineup that got him and three relievers for seven total runs. C-NS only got on the board in the fourth as Karowwski and Grayson Gid-
dings drove in the runs, but managed just four total hits against F-M pitchers Sam Kuss and Dan Swift. Liverpool took a shot at undefeated West Genesee Thursday night at NBT Bank Stadium, but was unable to overcome some early outbursts from the Wildcats in an 8-5 defeat. WG struck for four runs in the first inning and four more in the third after Liverpool briefly cut the deficit to 4-2. A run in the fourth and two runs in the seventh was half what the Warriors needed to rally, though Benjamin had three hits and scored twice as Vivacaqua and Lance Phillips got two hits apiece. On Friday, C-NS handled Rome Free Academy 12-3, with a five-run first inning all that the Northstars would need, though it added multiple runs in the third, fourth and sixth for insurance. Karwowski provided the power, twice going deep for home runs on his way to four RBIs. Sean Lawler also had a home run as he and Giddings both got two RBIs. Gunnip pitched five innings to earn the win.
C-NS girls lacrosse team goes 1-2, beats West Genny by Phil Blackwell
The Cicero-North Syracuse girls lacrosse team found a shot of confidence that it badly needed. The Northstars were only 4-3 going into last Tuesday’s game against West Genesee at Mike Messere Field, but mostly leaning on its defense, C-NS was able to gain late control and beat the Wildcats 7-5. Rylee Gonzalez scored in the game’s opening minutes – and WG earned nothing else for most of the rest of the first half, thwarted by a Northstars back line that kept making key stops. On the other end, C-NS scored four times to build a 4-1 advantage, and didn’t flinch when Cara Major and Ally Major hit on back-to-back goals bridging the first and second half to cut the Northstars’ margin to one. Instead, C-NS again shut things down, Nicole Mirra working her total to eight saves, and with a timely run of three consecutive goals was able to absorb a late Wildcats surge and overcome Allie Hanlon’s 14 saves. Fran Tortora and Sam Klein got two goals apiece, helped by Brooke Malchanoff, who had a goal and three assists. Mackenzie Prentice had a goal and two assists as Gabby Putman earned the other goal. Then C-NS would gear itself up for a
rematch with undefeated Baldwinsville, whom it lost to two weeks earlier. Now on the turf at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium, the Northstars were close for a while, but lost 13-6, nearly identical to the 12-5 score of the first meeting. C-NS, at least in the first half, kept the Bees from anything close to the blizzard of goals late in the first half which defined that initial meeting. Only leading 7-5 at the break, B’ville started dominating at the draw circle thanks to Pozzi and Sophia Ianno, leading to extra possessions and a gradual erosion of the Northstars’ defenses. Malchanoff had four of C-NS’ six goals. Tortora and Prentice had the others and Mirra got seven saves as, for B’ville, Mia Pozzi poured in five goals, while Carlie Desimone scored three times and got three assists. Sopiha Muscolino had two goals and two assists B’ville had just did a number on Liverpool, topping the Warriors 24-7 in a game where Mia Pozzi gave the Bees eight goals and two assists as Carlie Desimone had three goals and eight assists, with Sophia Muscolino getting three goals and five assists. With little chance against that swarm, Liverpool got what it could, especially
Maggie Tifft, who had four goals as Gianna Carbone converted twice. Lana Alampi had the other goal as Grace Geary got two assists. Single assists went to Cali Brancato and Cailtyn Guilfoil. Liverpool lost again, 16-13, to Fayetteville-Manlius on Thursday, not quite able to keep pace with the Hornets despite Abby Geary’s five goals and two assists, plus hat tricks from Tifft and Carbone. Ava Angello led F-M with five goals as Julianna Cogliandro and Emily Noel had four goals apiece. Both teams played on Saturday, with varying results as C-NS suffered its second consecutive defeat against South Jefferson, falling 8-7 to the Spartans and see its record dip to the .500 mark at 5-5. Malchanoff ’s two goals and two assists were the only multiple tallies by any Northstars player. Prentice, Shea Firth, Tori Iannotti and Gabby Ciciarelli had one goal apiece as Savannah Hodges (three goals) and Julia Garvin (two goals, one assist) led South Jefferson. Liverpool was able to defeat Webster Thomas 14-3 with three-goal efforts from four different players – Tiff, Carbone, Mia Berthoff and Abby Geary. Berthoff added two assists as Michelle Sacco converted twice.
C-NS boys tennis team defeats Liverpool, 5-2 by Phil Blackwell
Now it was time for both the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool boys tennis teams to enter the heart of their league schedules, if the weather would allow it. Cold temperatures kept the Northstars and Warriors from going head-to-head last Wednesday afternoon, but they would make it up 24 hours later and C-NS would get the best of it, prevailing by a score of 5-2. All four doubles matches went in the Northstars’ favor, starting with Dan Jordan and Brady Petranchuk rolling past Andrew Caimano and James Welch 6-2, 6-2. Joe DeGroat and Tim Mai went through two tough sets, yet won 7-5, 6-4 over Anthony Raineri and Brad Ritter, with Pete Gill and Ryan Keil routing Mason Pinchin and Aydan Presley 6-1, 6-0. Mike DeGroat and Andrew George handled Jimmy Bui and John Ioannidis
6-0, 6-2. Liverpool did far better in singles, seeing Justin Barrett beat Wyatt Dupell 6-2, 6-2 and Billy Balduf prevail 7-5, 6-1 over Brandon Nguyen. But the Northstars countered with Matt Jordan getting past Evan Miller 6-3, 6-4. Amid last Monday’s 80-degree temperatures, C-NS took to the court against Baldwinsville and found some success in doubles, but still lost, 5-2, to the Bees. Mai and DeGroat beat Aidan Delaney and Logan Bolton 7-5, 6-0, while in a come-from-behind effort George and Ryan Fehrman defeated Cameron Dougherty and Aidan Stan 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. Another doubles match went to three sets, but Gill and Keil lost, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, to Zach Pendergast and Zach Treichler as Petranchuk and Dan Jordanlost to Nick Licciardello and Andrew Jung 6-1, 6-1.
All of the singles matches went to B’ville, including a three-set duel where Matt Jordan fell to Mason Doan 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. Dupell fell to Antonio Marsallo 6-0, 6-0 as Nguyen had a 6-1, 6-2 loss to Connor Tutor. C-NS played again on Friday, against West Genesee, and built upon the Liverpool win by taking out the Wildcats by a score of 6-1. Dupell lost in singles, but Nguyen beat Cooper Corcoran 6-0, 6-0 as Matt Jordan topped Ty’san Scott 6-0, 6-0. The doubles teams of PetranchukDan Jordan, Mai-Tim DeGroat and George-Mike DeGroat each won in two sets as Gill and Keil needed three sets to get past Joe Paoli and Nate Ruston 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. This happened as Liverpool was shut out 7-0 by first-place FayettevilleManlius. Most of the matches were lopsided, but Barrett did play a close first set before falling 7-5, 6-1 to Cameron Lukasik.
