The guild has a heavy focus com munity service as well. Members have sewn quilts for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, which builds beds for children in need.They also recently donated 55 pet beds and 36 pee pads to HumaneC NY in Liverpool. The group’s current charitable project is creating quilts for Honor Flight veterans. At a June meet ing, quilters cut fabric for Honor Flight quilt kits, and they will spend the Aug. 24 meeting cutting the batting and backing fabric for the kits. Once com pleted, these quilts will be given to veterans returning from Honor Flight trips to Washington, D.C., to see their respective war memorials. Guest speakers offer the guild a chance to learn new techniques or get inspiration for future projects. The Aug. 10 meeting featured Rosemarie Ameen, a quilter who lives in Greensboro, North Carolina. Ameen is originally from Canada and moved to the United States as a teenager when her father was appointed pastor of a group of rural churches in Upstate NewAmeen,York. aka “the Selvage Diva,” pre sented on the use of selvages, the fin ished edge of fabrics that keep threads from fraying. Selvages often list the fabric’s manufacturer, the name of the design and dots showing which colors the fabric uses. Instead of throwing these out, Ameen collects them and repurposes them into tote bags, tab let covers, mug rugs, pincushions and even Christmas cards. “Selvages are just too precious to throw away,” Ameen said. Among the selvage projects Ameen displayed were a quilt inspired by Ja pan and a rainbow sudoku quilt, a sort of color-by-number design Ameen created by assigning a color to each answer in a sudoku puzzle. “Sometimes when I want to do something completely mindless, I just go to my selvage bin … and sew together a bunch of these blocks,” she said.After Ameen’s presentation came the show-and-tell portion of the meeting. Wilson showed a quilt she had made for her great-nephew that featured UV-reactive thread that will glow under the black lights in the boy’sWhileroom.Wilson needed a helping hand to unfold the bed-sized quilt, Corresponding Secretary Donna Hu berty shared a bite-size project: tiny quilted hearts that she plans to hide in area parks, as people have been doing for several years with painted rocks. Each heart has a tag that says “I need a home” and contains a URL with more information about the project: ifoundaquiltedheart.com. “I just thought it was an adorable thing to brighten someone’s day,” Huberty said. The Plank Road Quilt Guild meets at 9:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at Cicero UMC (8416 Brewerton Road). The next meeting is Aug. 24.

In 1982, a group of seven local la dies gathered to share their love of quilting. They called them selves “the Crazy Quilters.” By the next year, they had rebranded as the “Plank Road Quilter’s Guild” as a nod to North Syracuse’s plank road — the first in the nation — built in 1846.Now 60 members strong, the Plank Road Quilt Guild (the group shortened the name in 2001) faith fully meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at the Ci cero United Methodist Church. Most of the members are retir ees, which outgoing President Linda LoBello said is likely because Plank Road is one of the few area quilting groups that meets during the day instead of in the evening. Members are largely residents of the northern suburbs — Liverpool, Baldwinsville, Brewerton — but the group is open to all quilters of varying experience levels.Program Chair Carol Gerow took up quilting in 1988. She made her first template out of a cereal box and traced the template to cut her fabric. “I made my first quilt when my daughter was graduating high school and going to college and wanted a black-and-white quilt,” recalled Ge row.Gerow graduated from her home made cardboard template to taking classes and joining the Plank Road Quilt“It’sGuild.awonderful way to be creative and express yourself,” she said. “Even if two people make the same pattern, it doesn’t turn out the same.” The group divides its meetings into two agendas: the first meeting is a business meeting, usually featuring a guest speaker, and the second is a friendship gathering where members can brainstorm projects, browse the guild’s extensive library or just sit around and chat. The social component of the group was a lifeline for many during the first year of the pandemic. Nancy Wilson joined the guild just before COVID“Stayinghit. at home, [the guild] was a nice outlet. They taught me how to use Zoom,” Wilson said. While the full guild has 60 active members, the quilters often gather in smaller neighborhood groups of nine to 12“I’mpeople.inone that’s called ‘the Be tweens,’” LoBello said. “During the pandemic, we sometimes met in On ondaga Lake Park — not with big sewing projects. Sometimes it was just a social thing.”

C-NS’s Paragon, Hills make college choices by Phil blAckwEll
For the first time in three decades, a Cicero-North Syra cuse boys basketball player has accepted a scholarship to play in the NCAA Division I ranks. Luke Paragon, soon to be a senior at C-NS, announced early last week his verbal commitment to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, a long-time member of the Ivy League.Abig irony about Paragon’s decision is that the last Northstars alum to go to Division I, Michael Brown, did so at Providence College, a few miles from the Brown campus. Brown played four years with the Friars, averaging 9.5 points per game in his career, including 11.8 points in his senior season.Paragon, a 6-foot-4 guard, averaged nearly 20 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in his junior year, helping C-NS to a 16-6 record. When he missed three games in January, the Northstars went 1-2. All of this came on the heels of an announcement from C-NS football standout Jerrod Hills that he would attend Stony Brook University in the fall of 2023. Hills, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound defensive end, linebacker and tight end, helped the Northstars continue its streak of four consecutive Section III Class AA championships last fall. Pacing a ferocious C-NS pass rush, Hills recorded 15 sacks and 99 tackles, both of them team highs. He is attend ing Trinity Pawling Prep School in Pawling, in Dutchess County, this year.

Assemblyman Al Stirpe announced he is hosting a free recycling event on Sat urday, Aug. 27, at East Syracuse Minoa High School from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The event is an opportunity for residents, busi nesses and all community members to get rid of unwanted paint and electronics safely. Stirpe is looking forward to seeing residents from across the 127th Assembly district take advantage of this free drop-off event in partnership with Sunnking and Empire Recycled Paint Inc. “Reducing our environmental footprint doesn’t have to be a daunting task, it can be as simple as recycling e-scrap and left over paint safely and sustainably,” said Stirpe. “It’s an absolute delight to host and welcome all Central New Yorkers to my Free Recycling Event where common household items like outdated televisions, broken computers, and printers can be re cycled. We are also excited to kickstart the leftover paint recycling service where paint items like primers, sealers, stains, interior and exterior paint can also be dropped off and safely recycled.” Since electronic waste must be recy cled under state law, this event is making it easier to recycle unwanted or outdated electronic items including computers, tab lets, monitors, cameras, copiers, audio and video equipment, game consoles, recharge able batteries, GPS devices. Annually, around 10% of household architectural paint is leftover, amount ing to about 80 million gallons each year. Improper disposal of unused paint harms the environment. As part of the New York Paint Stewardship program Stirpe helped pass in 2019, consumers, retailers, munici palities, and producers must safely dispose or recycle leftover paint. Stirpe is holding this free community wide event to ensure leftover paint does not end up in landfills and can instead be collected and recycled. Robert Burns, director of marketing for Sunnking said, “Thousands of Central New Yorkers are getting more accustomed to recycling their electronics each year. This pairing gives us a chance to promote the reduction of e-waste and paint waste, saving our state money and protecting our personal health. The opportunity for this partnership came about, and we all jumped on it. Hopefully, if it’s a success, we can offer more collections like this going for ward.”Robert Matheson, general manager for Empire Recycled Paint Inc. said, “Empire is excited by the new program set up in the State of New York to divert paint from landfills and incinerators and generate an environmentally friendly and recycled product! We believe a dual partnered recy cling event is great for both the commu nity and Communityprograms!”members can register for a recycle drop-off time by visiting

Eighteen children were registered in the 1000 books before kindergarten program in July, the most in one month since Amanda Riccardo took over the program this spring. by MARk biAlcZAk lpl CommuniCAtionS SpeCiAliSt Many elements about her responsibili ties as a children’s librarian at the Liverpool Public Library make Amanda Riccardo smile. What’s not to like when the Carman Community Room or tent on the Dinosaur Garden lawn are filled with happy children, parents and caregivers learning and growing at her popular events Baby Time, Sensory Bins for Toddlers, Sensory Story Time, Tod dler Toy Time and Stretches and Stories. In the past few months, Riccardo also has spotted an increase in requests for chil dren to sign up for the LPL’s 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program. In July, Ric cardo said, 18 children were registered, the most in one month since she took over the program this spring. The program starter kit, which every family receives when signing up at the LPL, includes informational handouts from local group Help Me Grow Onondaga and na tional organizations Association for Library Services to Children and the Public Library Association.“Tryingto encourage reading literacy at that age is so important,” Riccardo said. The LPL’s 1000 Books Before Kinder garten program awards a prize to the partici pating child for every 100 books read. The kit a parent or caregiver receives at the LPL Children’s Room desk includes sheets to log books. Families can also register to partici pate and log books read through the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten page on our website, at LPL.org/1000Books. The prizes are claimed at the Children’s Room desk.

When receiving the prize at the LPL, the children can hold up a sign provided by the LPL for a photo opportunity for parents and caregivers.“Thekids get very excited for the prizes,” Riccardo said. “Oliver just got to hold up our special sign for reaching 1000 books in August. It was very exciting for everybody.”
This week’s question: Who built this house, where is it and what industry was it temporarily used for? Last week’s answer : The photo included with this mystery is of Richard “Dick” Williams, the pro prietor of Williams Funeral Home on Brewerton Road in Cicero for over 55 years. He was also a resi dent of Cicero living upstairs in the same building all those years. Dick was the son of Dr. Frank and Eunice (Hales) Williams of Cicero. He graduated from Man lius Military School and Simmons School of Mortuary science. Al though I didn’t know him at that time, he married his wife Martha and they had a daughter, Nancy, who I did meet several years ago. Because we all went to Immanuel Church, I knew his second wife, Barbara.Itwas said by his many friends that he worked very hard and was dedicated to his music. He loved the piano and the organ. When he played, it became obvious how ac complished he was, especially when he would play at the funeral home during calling hours and before funerals. When he completed his performance, he would raise his hands in the air and turn around on the bench. He loved playing for birthday parties and holidays. This photo I took at a Clay Historical As sociation Christmas party; I believe was his last performance. His social activities included 60 years as a member of the Masonic Memorial Lodge #648, a member of the Cicero Historical Society, the Clay Historical Association, on the board of the Pine Plains Cemetery Association and a member of Im manuel Lutheran Church. In his spare time, he carved miniatures. A display of photos showed a piano, various chickens, several trains and other items he loved. Another great love was his gar den. He was so proud of his vari ous and sometimes exotic produce items. One never knew when they would appear on the table at the back of the church for all to take home and enjoy. He left his brown eggs for the pastor telling him he did not need to know where they came from! I remember that he al ways sat at the end of the third pew from the back of the church. Al though not fancy, he always wore a suit and tie to church with a usually bright colored shirt. He had to sit there so if he received a phone call to plan a funeral, he would be able to leave fast without disturbing the service.Among all the Boy Scout Badg es Dick received, he should have gotten one called a People Badge because of his wonderful work as a people person. He was compas sionate with bereaved families be fore the funeral. He would hold their hands and explain how to look forward to life after death of a loved one. He said he would be with them through making the ar rangements and the calling hours. A fact only known after his passing: If someone did not have enough money to bury their loved one, he would take care of it. Email your guess to starreview@ eaglenewsonline.com or leave a message at 315-434-8889 ext. 340 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.

OBITUARIES DEATH NOTICES
first lieutenant Gordon E. Dahlin photo General tomoyuki yamashita
subMittED by Roge R Dahlin The exact date for V-J Day (Victory Over Japan) that ended WWII is often debated. This includes Aug. 14, 1945, when the Japanese government cabled the U.S. their sur render, Sept. 2, 1945 when a formal surrender was signed in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri that included an American delegation headed by General McArthur and Sept. 3, 1945 when Japanese General Tomoyuki Yamashita officially surrendered the Japanese army. My brother, First Lieu tenant Gordon E. Dahlin, was an eye witness to the unofficial surrender of Gen eral Yamashita. His personal “brush of history” that I tape recorded in 2002 is part of the narrative that follows. This narrative also briefly covers Gordon’s WWII career. An overview of Yamashita’s mili tary career, war crimes trial and demise also follow. Gordon’s trip to the Philip pines thanks to uncle sam. Gordon, age eighteen began his WWII military od yssey with the 299th Combat Engineers at Camp White Oregon. Combat Engineers’ primary responsibility is to clear the way for the invading forces, consequently they are generally the first on the battlefield. A photo of him is shown during Camp White maneuvers behind a water- cooled machine gun. He later attended Officer Candidate School at Fort Belvoir, VA, was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and shipped to the Philippines. He was assigned to the 32nd Infantry Division as a platoon leader with the 126th Combat Engineers Battalion. General tomoyuki yamash ita –A brief overview Yamashita, was a brilliant Japanese Army Gen eral during WWII. He was responsible for the invasion of Malaya and Singapore that was accomplished in 70 days. This led British Prime Minister Winston Churchill calling the fall of Singapore to Japan the “worst disaster and largest capitulation in British military history.” On Feb. 15, 1942, Yamashita’s 30,000 front line soldiers captured 80,000 British soldiers. Later in the war he was assigned to defend the Philippines from the invad ing US forces. While he was unable to hold the U.S. advance, he was able to hold on to part of Luzon until the formal Japanese surren der. Yamashita rejected the traditional samurai ceremony of hari-kari in the belief he had a higher responsibility. “If I kill myself” the general explained, “someone else will have to take the blame” Road to surrender In late August 1945 Yamashita and his staff had retreated to the little tropical village of Kaingan that is located in northern Luzon (largest Philippine Island that includes Manilla.) Access to this village, laced with palm and banana trees, was by donkey trail and could be reached only by foot or using small horses or donkeys. Gordon’s battalion was re sponsible for building a road to Kaingan that was a few miles from the main highway to secure Yamashita’s surren der. According to Gordon, the village consisted of about 20 native huts. The huts were made of bamboo with woven roofs setting on stilts with the floor several feet above ground level. In the center of the village was a medium sized school house which is where Yamashita and his staff were located. Gordon un derstood that the school was built and operated by Belgian Missionaries. Gordon did not see Yamashita while he was at the village but he observed some lower-level Japanese soldiers plus local villagers. Gordon recalled his eye witnessing experience of Yamashita’s surrender. “The Engineers found and old Japanese truck laying on its side, turned it over and got it running. The old truck was used to transport Yamashita out of the jungle to the main road. Arriving at the main highway, Yamashita was met by a contingent of reporters and U.S. military person nel. Yamashita sat in the resurrected truck in an erect and aloof position with his chin jutting out.

HiSTORic MOMENT
aug 17, 2022 5eagle News CNy’s Community News s ource by JoRGE bAtllE SkAneAteleS villAge hiStoriAn Village Law, Sec tion 89 provides that the village have a “public inspection and parade of the fire department.” It was up to the chief to de clare a specific day as the “inspection day.” This day varied from late August into October. For example, in 1888 the Inspection Day was Sept. 12. The inspection was done by the village trustees who were deemed fire commissioners. A small parade followed. This was not a fund raising event. As far back as 1876, the fire department had a parade. For the one of Oct. 10, the department hired the Skaneateles Band for $6. On Sept. 10,1889 there was a parade, racing, and a dance at Legg Hall hosted by Skaneateles Torrent Engine Company #.1 In December of that year they held a New Year’s Eve masquerade ball fund raiser at Legg Hall. In 1892 Inspection Day was Sept. 12, with a parade and a supper. In 1893, In spection Day was Sept. 19, with a public reception at the new fire station on the corner of Jordan Street and Railroad Street (Fennell Street). This open house featured a parade, music by the Borodino Band, and photos with various politi cians.Between 1887 and 1894 about 30 states ad opted Labor Day as a state holiday. It was created in the late 19th century by the labor movement to celebrate workers and their achievements. President Grover Cleveland made it a Federal holiday June 28, 1894. That year the parade and inspection was cancelled due to rain. In 1895 the depart ment held Inspection Day on Aug. 23. In 1896 the Inspection Day and parade actually fell on the new Federal holiday, Sept. 11. There was a dinner at The Packwood House (Sher wood Inn).
n 1898 The Skaneateles Free Press announced that the Village Labor Day Committee will offer base ball games, bicycle races, a southern cake walk, decorated boat parade, band concert and a grand ball at Legg Hall. This was under the direction of local retailer Levi Brounstein. In August, Fire Chief Bray designated Labor Day, Sept. 6, as Inspection Day for the department. There was a department parade at 10:30 a.m. that morning. The following year, the fire chief desig nated Sept. 12 as Inspec tionInspectionDay. Day and parades were not seen as fund raisers for the fire department. One fund rais ing event was a week-long bazaar in December of 1894 at the Odd Fellows Hall. It netted $721.04 which was used to buy uniforms. Another event was less successful. This was a minstrel show in February of 1896. Income was $150.55 and expenses were $149.30 with a net of $1.25.Finally in 1900 the department stabilized Inspection Day to be Labor Day, and that has carried forward. In 1904 the department set a fine of $1 for a member missing Inspection Day. In 1906, after the annual inspection, the department invited the Waterloo Fire Department to an outing at Ten Mile Point.Aug. 8, 1910 a mo tion was made to have $10 worth of fireworks on Inspection Day. The Motion was defeated. A new motion was made to use part of the $100 annual stipend from the village for the fireworks. That motion passed. At a later meet ing in August they voted to have no fireworks and have a dance. But, at the Sept. 12 meeting the min utes state that a draft be drawn on the treasury for $125 to pay for fireworks. The Skaneateles Free Press states that the fireworks were shot off the steamboat dock. There was a concert at the band pavilion in the park and a dance at the Odd Fellows Temple. Aug. 27, 1915 the de partment held “Old Home Week” with a parade, sports events, pie eating contest, tug of war, with cash prizes and ending with fireworks. In 1916 the village was under quarantine from the polio epidemic. Because of that, Inspection Day was moved to November.In1943the fire depart ment voted to discontinue the annual Labor Day cel ebration for the duration of the War. In August of 1945 the department sent out letters soliciting funds. The Labor Day event was resumed in 1946. Most of these events were held in Clift Park on the shore of the lake. Fireworks were shot off the end of the municipal pier or from a barge on the lake. In 1954 the city repaired the jetty (pier) to accommodate the fire works. In 1956, according to the department’s min utes book, they voted to have “Labor Day as usual in the park on Genesee Street.”Theminutes of the June 15, 1959 meeting of the fire department, De partment President Carl Fisher said that he and Fire Chief George Spear ing attended a village board meeting on June 8, and the village would al low the use of Austin Park for the Labor Day activi ties. John Williams and George Scriven made the motion that the depart ment hold its field day in Austin Park. The motion was1964carried.brought up the discussion about rides. Insurance costs were a factor that needed further investigation. Kiddie rides were discussed in 1965. The rides location was suggested between the Sims Building and the tennis courts. It was in 1970 “The Wonderful World of Rides” brought in six rides, a popcorn stand and six other con cessions. Profit from the event was $5,468. This money went to purchase future fire trucks for the department. This tradi tion continues today. The new trucks are turned over to the village for $1. In 1974 The fire department’s Labor Day Committee suggested that all the events be held in the ice rink (Allyn Pavil ion) and do away with the use of tents. Alcohol was approved for Austin Park. Sink the boat competition was held at Sandy Beach. In 1975, the Labor Day event went to two days, Sunday and Monday. This, with the sale of alco hol, the profits increased to $21,240. The money went into an account reserved for the purchase of fire trucks. In 1979 the rink’s rest rooms were out of service due to a new addition to the building. This prompted the use of portajohns.In1998 Labor Day was canceled due to a major storm that hit the area. The New York State Fair was also canceled. The 1998 Labor Day event was completed by moving it to Oct. 10, and holding it in an airplane hangar off Kane Avenue. In 2009 the event was changed to Saturday and Sunday, giving the depart ment’s volunteers the actual holiday off to spend with their families. Today the fire chief still does the traditional Inspection Day duties, re viewing the fire trucks and the uniformed volunteer members, as was done 146 years ago.

The Madison County Health Department an nounced the county’s first positive Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus mosquito pool of the season was collected Aug. 3 at a trap site on Smith Ridge Road in the Town of Sullivan. The type of mosquito identified is primarily a bird-biting species. The test results from the State Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center Laboratories were reported to the Madison County Health Department on Aug. These9.positive finding serve as a reminder for all residents that these viruses are present and it is important to take measures to protect yourself, your family and others from mosquito bites. According to the Onondaga County Health De partment, West Nile virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Most people who are infected with WNV do not develop symptoms. One in five people with mild cases may develop fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, or rash. People with severe illness usually have a high fever, sudden headache, neck stiffness, altered mental status, and inflammation of the brain or membrane of the spinal cord, encepha litis or meningitis. People at greatest risk of develop ing severe disease are those over 60 years of age and people with certain medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, or who have received organSeveretransplants.casesof EEE infection begin with the sud den onset of headache, high fever, chills, and vomit ing that may progress into disorientation, seizures, encephalitis and coma. According to the Onondaga health department mosquito counts in Central New York currently are extremely low, but it is always important to protect yourself and your family from mosquito bites. Whether West Nile or EEE or other factors are a concern, the guidance is much the same across the board when it comes to steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of mosquito bites and possible trans mission.Thecounty health departments note that per sonal protection is recommended during outdoor activities by wearing shoes, socks, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt when outside for a long period of time.Use insect repellents containing DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and other products that have been approved by the Environmental Pro tection Agency (EPA). Follow the manufacturer’s in structions on proper use for safety and effectiveness Insect repellents should be applied only to intact skin or over clothing. Do not apply DEET or Picari din directly onto children’s skin—apply to your own hands and then put it on the child. Repellent should never be used on babies younger than 2 months old, the Onondaga health department noted. Other measures to consider include the removal of standing water from your property as this can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The health departments also recommended to throw away outdoor containers, ceramic pots, or con tainers that hold water; Remove all tires from your property; Drill holes in the bottoms of recycling containers that are kept outdoors; Clean clogged rain gutters and make sure they continue to work properly; Turn over wheelbarrows and wading pools when not in use; Change water in birdbaths at least every four days; Clear vegetation and debris from the edges of ponds; Clean chlorinated swimming pools, outdoor saunas, and hot tubs; Drain water from pool covers; and Use landscaping to eliminate low spots where standing water accumulates. In regard to EEE veterinarian and horse owners are encouraged to contact MCDOH if a horse begins displaying neurological signs of illness. Horses are also recommended for EEE vaccination every six months, or twice a year.

Marvelous moonshot! On Thursday, July 28, soon after making his Triple-A debut here in the International League, Álvarez blasted a walk-off home run deep over the left-field wall, propelling the Mets to a 5-3 win over the Omaha Storm Chasers. I attended that game, and that hit was a marvelous moon shot!What was even more impressive was the way the rookie rose to the occasion, even under pressure. The game was tied in the bottom of the ninth there were two outs and a run ner at third. The Omaha reliever, a tall Texas righthander named Colton Brewer, quickly got ahead in the count, 0 balls and two strikes. Now with two strikes many bat ters would choke up a bit, adjust his swing to make contact rather than swing for the fences. But Álvarez had other ideas. When he saw Brewer deliver a hanging curveball, he wal loped the horsehide and sent it high and far into the night sky. That game-winning dinger was a thing of beauty. outta the park! He did it again on Aug. 3 in Al lentown, Pa.’s CocaCola Park against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The Penn sylvania fans were left shaking their heads in wonder after Álva rez slammed the first pitch of the seventh inning out of the stadium, literally.Over 23 games played, Álvarez’s batting average here lingers be low the Mendoza Line, but he has slugged four doubles and five home runs and has 18 walks and 17 runs battedThein.parent NY Mets whined about their inability to snag a catcher via trade before the Aug. 2 deadline, well, maybe the executives shouldn’t overlook this kid. Sure, he’s just 20, but he seems ready now.
Red sox next week And there’s no doubt that his work behind the plate is also improving daily. Álvarez pretty much proved his defensive mettle by catching future Hall of Fame hurlers Max Scherzer (June 21 in Binghamton) and Jacob deGrom at NBT Bank Stadium (on July 14 and again on July 27). If you enjoy baseball, do yourself a favor and make sure to take in a few Syracuse Mets games just to see Álvarez in action. The Junior Mets host the Worcester Red Sox at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23 through Saturday, Aug. 27 and at 1:05 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28. The season ends with a rare morning game at 11:05 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28 versus the Lehigh Valley IronPigs; milb.com/ syracuse / ; 315-474-7833. A life with baseball Speaking of the national pas time, my friend, former umpire Herm Card has written a mem oir, “Looking Back…a life with baseball.” A longtime poet and teacher, Herm now shoots photo graphs for the Syracuse Mets and his images have often appeared here on the pages of Eagle News papers.His91-page collection of essays is dedicated to his grandmothers, his parents and his wife, aptly emphasizing the way the love of baseball is naturally passed on from generation to generation. Herm’s 27 essays run the gamut from memories of a Yankees game in 1954, to recollections of playing the infield for Syracuse University to an appreciation of Challenger Baseball which invites disabled children to learn the game. One of his best chapters is “A Baseball,” inspired by the time he spent last summer as color man for Syracuse Mets play-by-play broadcaster Michael Tricarico. Herm waxes poetic recalling all the colorful terms used to describe various baseball plays. Home runs earn varied descriptions including “dingered, downtowned, fourmasted, jacked, short-porched, tape-measured and tattered.”

What words can I conjure to describe the oppressiveness of last week’s heat? I began to think about hot summer days when I was a child and I heard the weather report given with both temperature and humid ity. I remember wondering what humidity was and why anyone would care about it. Last week I found out. I made the mistake of think ing that 90-ish temperatures were nothing much more than, oh, say 85 Idegrees.completely ignored the humid ity warnings and headed out to the side garden … planning on a sensible 15 minutes of weeding. In less than five minutes, my hair was so wet from sweating (perspiration for the more gentile) that it looked like I had just washed it. Figure from this that my face and clothing were no less blessed. Dripping was the word. I poured cold water on my wrists, a strategy from my grand mother’s GDR (Grandmother’s Desk Reference) for being over heated brought back a memory of a piece I wrote more than 10 years ago. I hope you like it. A tale of two pillows There was a tree in front of our house in Brooklyn. For years I thought it was the tree referred to in the book and play of the same name. Of course, I also thought that the palisade cliffs on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River were the White Cliffs of Dover. Such is mind of a child. The sidewalk was broken near that tree, heaving with the pressure from old, large roots that sought water and nutrients in an urban setting. I spent hours playing hopscotch and “Potsy” on those broken pieces of sidewalk. That sidewalk wasn’t like the smooth sidewalk at the top of the street outside of the Flying A garage, nor that of the few remain ing pieces of slate that were the old sidewalk near Third Avenue. I googled my address, and, wonder of wonders, there it was, a contemporary street view of 32955th St. The tree was gone. The sidewalk was fixed. Without the tree, there was no shade for the airy way, the little courtyard in front of the house. The house, now clad in something modern and ex pedient, had lost the soft allure of wood siding. The cut glass door at the top of the stoop was also gone, replaced by something sturdier, probably to protect the inhabitants from malefactors who roamed the area even when I was a child. I noted, with a smile, that there was an air conditioner in one of the second floor windows. How we suffered in the summer’s heat. Outside air could only enter our tall double hung windows through small six-inch-high expandable screens that had glass awnings attached to keep rain out. Air had to struggle to get through that barricade. Searching for a cool spot on one’s pillow was a nightly challenge. Summer sleeping was notTherefun. were other windows 50 miles away in Lake Carmel. The windows in the little bungalow had screens from top to bottom and my grandmother opened the windows as wide as she could. I would lie in the big double bed next to one of these marvelous windows where cooler air flowed freely. Someone had painted the screens green. Some of that paint had lodged in the holes, giving my childhood mind another thing to ponder. So, there I would lie, peering through the green screen, watching the fireflies dancing in the weeds beyond the big boulder which, by the way you can see on local.live.com.Iwouldlisten to the frogs that lived near the stream in the woods, the cicadas singing their August songs and wonder at the flashes of light in the sky that came without sound.“That’s heat lightning,” my grandmother would say. “It chases away the heat.”

One of the great things about hav ing a Triple-A minor league baseball team in Syracuse is the chance it gives fans to see superstars of the future as they make their way up to the big leagues.This summer Syracuse Mets fans have been thrilled by the precocious catcher Francisco Álvarez, who was promoted here on the Fourth of July from the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
DEMEtRA VounAs SkAneAteleS Regarding senior citizen tax exemptions To the Editor: In response to the letter written by Marilee Bogdanovs. New York State Real Property Tax Law dictates how the income of every senior citizen has to be calculated for the Low-Income Senior Citizen. (This is a separate exemption from the STAR.) The reason for this is so that there is not an undue burden placed on everyone else in the taxing entity. Each entity has the option of setting the income level to be used and the Town of Salina’s income requirements are the highest income limits allowed by New York State at the present time.
I saw Alex at the annual PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, more o en than not, his behavior o camera seemed, shall I say, a bit arrogant and condescending. I always felt it was unfair of me to come to that conclusion because I did not know him professionally or personally so I gave him the bene t of the doubt. However, his story about Jessica’s 3-over par for the second round of the Women’s Open… hardly a disaster…has rekindled my interest in his potentially “arrogant and condescending” manner. Please help me judge Alex by reviewing some of the things he said in his story. Under COMMENTARY, the title of his story was…“Jessica Korda Had a Bad Day at the Women’s Open, But Revealed More About Herself by Blowing O Media A er the Round. * Korda shot a disappointing 3-over 74 on Friday to topple o the leaderboard. She still owed the press an explanation for her play. * Normally at this point I would o er up what happened to Korda and break down her four bogeys to not only fall out of the lead, but into a tie for 17th place. But Korda declined the interview request posed to her by the R&A and decided to leave you and me guessing.
thE bVillE connEction — PREsiDEnt kiM lAnE; DiREctoR kRistin bionDi ; sEcREtARy MElissA DElGuERcio May works diligently To the editor: I take exception to former state senator John DeFrancisco’s recent letter to the editor in support of Julie Abbott. He accuses the second term incumbent State Senator Rachel May of being an advocate for “far left” policies. And indeed, on Julie Abbott’s website, she calls Senator May a “radical socialist.” What is it about Senator May that is so radical?Shechairs the Committee on Aging and the Legislative Commission on Rural Resources and is a member of multiple other committees within the State Senate. She is focused on broadband for all, protection of water resources, support ing small businesses during the COVID epidemic, fair voting, and public schools, to name but a few. What is radical about these? It is both easy and lazy to throw around derogatory labels but much harder and more valuable to do the hard work that Rachel May has done as the incum bent State Senator. I see no cheap insults on her website. I see a candidate who continues to work diligently and modestly to improve the lives of her constituents. And I plan to support her.
* With ursday’s weather cool and rainy early and Friday’s wind, it’s possible that Korda’s back might have tightened up, but none of us know. She mentioned on ursday that with her bags still in Zurich Airport she was missing heating pads for her fragile back.

aug 17, 2022 7eagle News CNy’s Community News s ource ‘Park at Dark’ seeks vendors To the Editor: I am writing on behalf of The Bville Connection, a local non-profit that seeks to create connections in our greater com munity by facilitating positive familyfriendly events. During each one of our events, we partner with other local non-profit groups to share our proceeds to benefit the community at large. A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated back to the park and we are still determining which local non-profit will receive a portion of the proceeds as well. On Saturday October 1, 2022, we are hosting “Park at Dark,” a Halloween cel ebration at Heritage Park in North Syra cuse. For a $5 entrance fee per person, the event will include various elements including trick or treating, face painting, food trucks, costume contest and more, ending with a flashlight walk through a luminary lit trail at dusk. We are inviting businesses and orga nizations from the area to join us! There is no fee to be a vendor at this event; we ask only that you have candy/treats to pass out to our guests who will be wearing a paid entry bracelet. At our last Park at Dark event in Baldwinsville we had close to 500 trick-or-treaters. Heritage Park has plenty of parking and is a central location for walk-in guests. Being the first time hosting here, we are unsure how many people will be in attendance but our “Save the Date” event post on Facebook is al ready getting traction, so we expect a good turnout. To be prepared, we are asking that vendors for this years’ Park at Dark be ready for at least 500 trick-or-treaters as well.Asa vendor, you will have a 10x10 space. You need to bring your own table, chairs and if you’d like, a pop-up tent. We ask you to consider decorating your space and wear a costume. In the past our vendors have played music, set up games for kids to participate in, and did demon strations of their products – we want you to have fun with it! There is no electric hook up along the trail where the booths will be located, but you are welcome to bring a generator. You are also welcome to sell your product as well as hand out and/ or display flyers or marketing materials you would like. We will be featuring all our vendors in our digital marketing of the event as well. If you are unable to join us, we are looking for costume contest prize spon sors and overall sponsors to help purchase supplies for the event. We also welcome any additional elements to the event that your business or organization special izes in. In the past, we’ve had story time, dance demonstrations, mascot/character appearances and more. If you are inter ested, please let us know! If you have further questions or wish to participate, please email us at thebvil leconnection@gmail.com or contact us through our Facebook page: facebook.com/thebvilleconnection.ttps://www.WehopetoseeyouonOct.1!
* On Friday Korda fell short of supporting… ”extensive coverage to create engagement to raise the pro le of women’s golf”, as announced by Martin Slumbers, the Chief Executive of the R&A when he raised the purse from $5.8 million to $7.3 million for the Women’s Open. ere is no free lunch in professional golf, men’s or women’s. * Korda was unhappy and frustrated. We all get that, but we wanted to know more. Instead we learned something about Korda we didn’t expect, and it wasn’t positive. Incidentally, South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai won on the Women’s Open on the 4th extra hole playo with a spectacular 35yd. bunker shot to 18 inches of the cup. I would love to comment on each of the bullet points Alex is making but there is no more room available for this article. Ladies and Gentlemen, “What we say is not as important as “how” we say it. I can just hear ole Alex muttering all of those things he wrote about Jessica Korda in private conversation and it sure sounds like “arrogant and condescending” to me.

FROM THE MAILBAG FROM THE ASSEMblyMAN Back to school shoppers to face challenges due to inflation by AssEMbly MinoRity lEADER will bARclAy Even under the best economic conditions, back-to-school shop ping can be financially challenging. In today’s times of historic infla tion and economic uncertainty, it’s an even bigger hill to climb. Un fortunately, this is the reality facing many New York families as Sep tember rapidly approaches. And for this reason, the Assembly Minority Conference has offered proposals to help ease the burden for families facing mounting education-related costs as well as for teachers who will inevitably wind up spending personal funds on their classroom and student needs. To put the issue in context, ear lier this week the U.S. Department of Labor released new consumer pricing figures showing inflation continues to linger at a near-fourdecade high. Inflation rose 8.5% in July indicating we are still far off from any sort of normalcy. To that end, the Assembly Minority Conference is advocating, as we have broadly for months, for consumer relief measures as the new school year approaches. Specifically, Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C,I-Corning) and I are calling on legislative leaders and Gov. Kathy Hochul to consider two important pieces of legislation to help both families and teachers in the coming weeks. Those bills are the: Teacher Tax Credit: Provides a $500 tax credit to teachers who contribute and/or purchase supplies, pay for field trip costs and help with student expenses (A.4977, Palmesano); and the College Supplies Tax Deduc tion: Establishes college supplies as a tax deductible expense (A.5301, Barclay).Wehave also introduced legisla tion and called upon our Demo cratic colleagues to reduce the cost of everyday items like household items, food purchases and gasoline. We’ve also supported across-theboard tax and spending cuts. The cost of living in New York has been too high for too long and something needs to be done about it. Now, as many in the state prepare to take on the added financial strain of a new school year, is a particularly opportune time to mitigate as much of these costs as we can. Whether it is educators, college students, families or simply indi viduals trying to get by, we must provide relief from the harsh, over whelming economic conditions suppressing our state. Right now, that is simply not happening, and I am calling on all of my colleagues across the state to take the steps needed to address these concerns as students, teachers and parents get ready to head back to school.

Income: Exemption Amount 0 - $29,000 50% $29,001 - $30,000 45% $30,001 - $31,000 40% $30,001 - $32,000 35% $32,001 - $32,900 30% $32,901 - $33,800 25% $33,801 - $34,700 20% $34,701 - $35,600 15% $35,601 - $36,500 10% $36,501 - $37,400 05% There has never been, at any time, a 50% exemption for an income over $29,000.Thetown of Salina allows seniors to offset their income by providing unreimbursed medical expenses. That is also a local option. Below is the NYS RPTL stated in come for Low Income Seniors: Income includes: • all Social Se curity payments • salary and wages (including bonuses) • interest (includ ing nontaxable interest on state or local bonds), total dividends • net earnings from farming, rentals, business or profession (if any amounts have been claimed as depreciation for income tax purposes, they must be added back in) • income from estates or trusts • gains from sales and exchanges • the total amount received from governmental or private retirement or pension plans • annuity payments (excluding amounts representing a return of capital) • ali mony or support money • unemploy ment insurance payments, disability payments, workers’ compensation, etc. It is not as simple as just looking at 1040 filed by the senior to see what income they report to the IRS. This is not a choice that we make but it is the law that we must follow. Aged exemption (income require ment) (retirement benefits - IRA’s)RPTL, § 467; 26 U.S. Code § 408: For the purposes of determining whether an applicant for the aged exemption satisfies the local income requirement, contributions to an individual retirement account (IRA) are not deductible; earnings on IRA’s should be considered as income; and distributions from IRA’s should not be treated as income. ... Income is defined to include “so cial security and retirement benefits, interest, dividends, total gain from the sale exchange of a capital asset in the same income tax year, net rental income, salary or earnings, and net in come from self-employment, but shall not include a return of capital, gifts, or inheritances.”Incomefor tax (income tax) pur poses is not the same as income for Exemption purposes. That is clearly stated in the RPTL. The assessment office encourages anyone who believes that they may qualify, to stop and in and let us review their income statements. The town of Salina strives to be fair to all of the tax payers in the town! town of sAlinA AssEssoR’s officE 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. A few weeks ago at Mur eld, Scotland, the Royal and Ancient (R&A) held the AIG Women’s Open at Mur eld’s historic and storied links course. “ e Women’s Open” is a major on the ladies schedule and is comparable to a PGA Tour player winning the “British Open”. On the 8th hole of the 2nd second round that was played on Friday, Jessica Korda, the 29 year old (#14 ranked female golfer in the world) made a birdie on the par4-hole to tie for the lead at 5 under par. Although her golf hat and other clothing were still at the Zurich Airport, she seemed unfazed by the delay and was doing her best to adjust to her new tournament wardrobe. Unfortunately, she bogeyed the next four holes to drop o the leaderboard a er shooting a 3-over 74. By the way, Jessica is the older sister of Nelly Korda, formally ranked #1 in the world who was also in the eld and currently is #3 in theOnworld.Saturday mornings a er doing my radio show, I check almost all of the scores, highlights and stories that are written about the PGA and LPGA tournaments as well as other professional tours. I noticed one story in particular that was written by Alex Miceli, a journalist and radio/ TV personality who has been involved in golf for 26 years. He is the guy who always wore a bow tie when he was being interviewed on TV. Now do you remember him? He was the founder of Morning Read, a website covering golf as well as all major sports. It has been one of my favorite reads over the last few years. He sold it to Bu alo Groupe but continues to write, do podcasts and videos for the new Morning Read onWheneverSI.com.

Author Barb Warner Deane will share about the Clubmobile program and all the ways in which American women helped win the war! Her books will be for sale after the program.
