Coronary equipment, paid for by contributions from community residents, has been installed in CAVAC I and CAVAC II, the Cazenovia Area Volunteer Ambulance Corps ambulances. Members of CAVAC have completed a coronary course and are now studying Trauma, involving clinical and practical work with patients and equipment at city hospitals. “We’re proud of the many people who have given themselves to the lengthy requirements of a complete Advanced Emergency Medical Services Course,” Clarence Snow, chairman of Coronary Care, said. “Soon the medics will be state certified, and the community will then be assured of the best pre-hospital coronary care.” Each CAVAC medic will carry a paging unit, coded for several local and surrounding areas. The CAVAC dispatchers will call medics in seconds by pushing three buttons of the automatic pager and transmitting information. Equipment carried in the ambulances transmit a simultaneous electrocardiogram strip to a hospital emergency room so that a physician can evaluate the patient’s coronary activity and prescribe treatment. The crew will carry out the medical instructions immediately.

The fourth annual Olympics of the Mind competition was held in the Cazenovia middle school library June 7. The students participating were from the Gifted and Talented Education program directed by Marcia Helbig. Three teams of costumed fifth graders guided a blind-folded teammate through an obstacle course using only non-verbal audio signals. The course was designed by sixth grade students who also evaluated the performances. The second portion of the competition tested the creativity of two teams of sixth graders in a spontaneous performance. Judging that event were middle school Principal Paul Darnell, Sydney Regan, and art teacher, and Connie Wilson, a parent.

The Cazenovia freshman lacrosse team recently ended their inaugural season, the first in the history of Cazenovia High School. Throughout the year the Cazenovia community showed fantastic support with over 150 people in the stands and lining Fenner’s Field, numbers unheard of even at most varsity games at established high school programs. Assistant coach Mark Evans was also an integral part of the Cazenovia success. Evans gave up his post as the varsity tennis program’s head coach to help guide this year’s Laker’s. The team was comprised of 29 young men who showed a desire to compete and learn the fundamentals of the game. Many of the players who participated on the squad scored their first goal or assist in scholastic competition, they also learned to use their left and right hands skillfully by years end.

The Cazenovia Town Board met at the Gothic Building on Tuesday, June 9. The board voted to adopt the resolution on the comprehensive plan. “On Monday we received a very positive review of the comprehensive plan from Madison County Planning Department,” said Liz Moran, Cazenovia Town Supervisor. “They applauded the cooperative effort of the village and town to work together on the plan and agree that it is a step in the right direction to help resolve any land use and development issues.” Moran said that the body was required to do a “hard look” at the State Environmental Quality Review process prior to the vote. The board took several aspects into account, going through individual anticipated impacts of the resolution. “We don’t want commercial business in residential homes unless the residential homes fall within a commercial overlay district,” said councilor Sparky Christakos. “Adoption of the comprehensive plan is the culmination of almost two years of sustained effort by many dedicated community volunteers and elected officials,” Moran said.

One team was very patient. The other was not. Yet both achieved ultimate glory.

Denver had quietly built a contender for years around the unique talents of two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, but injuries and ill fortune meant frustration in the playoffs.

Instead of chasing superstar free agents, though, the Nuggets
