Hey Prudence, come out to play! Prudence is a four year old bulldog mix who came to the shelter as a stray. She weighs a whopping 65 pounds but there’s a gentle heart in that big barrel of a body! Prudence is super sweet and super snorty. We think she would make a great family dog. Prudence was the shelter ambassador at the Syracuse Nationals and met scores of people, include kids. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her. But Prudence doesn’t want the adulation of crowds; she just wants one special family who she can call her own. Could that be you?

The group of local youth with the mission of offering alternative activities for their peers, who are led by Cazenovia High School History Teacher Kurt Wheeler, have begun the process of developing a coffee house for young and old alike at the corner of Albany and Sullivan streets in the village of Cazenovia from the group’s beginning, it has searched to develop a place for local youth to go and be with friends.

The coffeehouse/restaurant will be a first class operation, Wheeler said.

In order for it to be successful on an inter-generational level, which is wanted, everything will need to be of the highest quality and adults will need to feel comfortable there.

35 Years Ago – July 27, 1988

Officials representing Fays Drug store were pleased by the number of people who applied for jobs at the new store scheduled to open in Cazenovia next month.

The new store will be located in the Town and Country Plaza on Rt 20 in the village.

It has been scheduled to open Aug. 24 and according to Harry Quinn, district manager for Fays, all is proceeding according to plan.

Mr. Quinn said he was very pleased with the people he interviewed at the village’s municipal building for positions at the store.

“The turnout was very good and I was very pleased by the quality of the people we interviewed,” Mr. Quinn said. Mr. Quinn said people applicants came from Morrisville, Eaton and New Woodstock, but the majority were from Cazenovia. “Based upon what we saw here today, I think we could staff the store right now and at this point I see no need to do any further interviews although we are always accepting applications. We will be hiring both full and part-time employees but primarily part-timers. The village has been very kind to us and at this point was are just anxious to get started.” bolster our small businesses such as restaurants and local hotels. It will also offer incredible educational opportunities for kids who otherwise may not have an opportunity to experience marine life from their schools in land-locked Onondaga County, many of whom will be able to visit for free through their schools and sponsorship programs. Students at SUNY ESF, Cornell University, OCC, LeMoyne, and Syracuse University will be able to do in-depth study and even research at this facility without having to travel hours away from campus.

Our county is seeing a generation changing investment by Micron into our community, and that announcement came after years of negotiations and conversations. Decades of planning went into securing Onondaga County as the semiconductor manufacturing hub for Micron, and that happened on the heels of the county legislature voting to fund this aquarium. Our investment here will enhance Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. The funds it will bring in will be used to invest more heavily in lead abatement for impoverished communities, provide greater services to our veterans, and increase mental health services in our schools. These programs are incredibly important, they are not free. It costs millions of dollars to provide for our community, I for one would prefer to see those dollars come from tourism revenues than increased taxes.

This aquarium is a chance to decrease our reliance on the New York State Legislature to fund our localities. It is our opportunity to bring our own investment to Onondaga County and punch our own ticket to a brighter future for our kids and grandkids.

Onondaga County’s best days are ahead of it, I am proud to stand arm in arm with my colleagues in providing for every resident in the community, even those who don’t yet see the full picture.

To the editor:

On behalf of all those who organized and took part in the 2023 Cazenovia July 4th Footraces, we would like to thank the many people and groups who helped to make it possible. We had an amazing turnout, with nearly 900 runners participating in the 1 mile, 5K and 10 mile events to celebrate the 50th edition of the Dan Sutton Memorial Races!

Many thanks to our generous race sponsors: Fleet Feet Sports, Cazenovia Community Fitness, McIntosh Box & Pallet Company, Creekside Dental and the “Caz Life” committee of the chamber of commerce. Thanks also to our prize sponsors Ralph Monforte/ Cazenovia Jewelry, the Brewster Inn and the Lincklaen House. Thanks to River Valley Foods for the refreshing popsicles, to TOPS for their gift card and assistance with finish line food and drinks, to McDonalds of Cazenovia for the water stop cups and to the Cazen - ovia Bagel Co. for the discounted pricing on their bagels.

We also appreciate the continued support of the Cazenovia Village Police Department, the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, CAVAC, Cazenovia Fire Department Rescue Squad, National Grid, and the Town and Village of Cazenovia.

Thank you to the many volunteers who handed out bib numbers and shirts, worked water stops, controlled the traffic, set up cones, cheered on the runners, passed out refreshments and cleaned up after the event. People like you are the life blood of our sport. The efforts of all those who helped organize and support the race were critical to the success of the event.

Thanks to all those who helped in ways large and small to make the event successful. No matter what your contribution to the 50th Annual July 4th Footraces, your help is deeply appreciated. Most of all, thank you to our many runners! We hope to see all of you next year as we kick off the second half century of this great race.

Saddened by behavior

To the editor:

I like Mark Olson. I was pleased when he ran his first campaigns and came to our door and accepted phone calls with questions or ideas. I began to question some of his information sources and approach in an encounter that involved a public entity and thought that something had changed.

When he ran for county legislator, I called him and told him I was concerned that he should not be mayor and legislator for reasons of possible conflicts of interest and pure time and energies. He told me that he would resign as mayor if elected after a few months when a trustee would take over the position. I believed him and told others that. Ask him!

He either lied or changed his mind on that.

Casey Cleary-Hammarstedt’s accurate and sardonic letter is on point. He rejected the overwhelming expressed will of his constituents on his vote for an $85 million fish bowl in which statistics for proposed fees and patrons are beyond absurd - especially in light of county needs to help chronically poor and underserved.

He scoffed at the need for land review and remediation in whatever understanding he has of COR and its promises.

Most recently, his and planning board’s promotion of another supermarket- a mile from another- which will dramatically change life for those of east of that area is a capitulation to forces antithetical to the value of this village and area.

I am really saddened by Mark Olson’s behavior which has grown more autocratic and more aligned with big money and power while he concentrates on favored candy.

I think he had a period of serving the village well but we deserve open and well publicized open forumsnot dinners and parade appearancesor now is the time for him to resign one or both positions.
