Lincklaen House to go on the auction block

BY KATE HILL STAFF WRITER

This fall, Cazenovia’s historic Lincklaen House at 79 Albany St., will be up for sale via an online auction from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3.

The two-building property consists of a 23-room colonialstyle boutique hotel, an event space, and three restaurants — the “casual fine dining” Lincklaen House, the Seven Stone Steps tavern, and Due Passi Pizzeria.

The auction is being con ducted by Todd Wenzel of WYZE Commercial Real Estate in conjunction with the Ten-X online commercial real estate exchange. The starting bid for the property is $700,000.

The business is currently owned by Dan Kuper and his wife, Mary Margaret.

“After many independent inquiries into our desire to potentially sell the Lincklaen House, we have decided to de termine the property and busi ness value utilizing WYZE and the Ten-X platform,” said Kuper. “Our focus is to un cover the next owner/opera tor through this process and to make sure that there is no interruption in business at any point. In fact, bookings are on the rise and 2022 holiday event dates are filling up quickly, so if you’re looking for a date call soon. There is no guarantee we

will find that buyer through this process.”

If the process does not yield a suitable buyer, Kuper added, it will remain “business as usual” at Lincklaen House un der the current ownership.”

Built in 1835, Lincklaen House was named after John Lincklaen, an agent of the Holland Land Company and the founder of Cazenovia.

According to its website, Lincklaen House opened its doors in 1836 and became a notable stagecoach stop along Route 20.

Among the establishment’s most famous guests are Presi dent Grover Cleveland and John D. Rockefeller.

Following a disastrous fire in 1916, Henry Burden reno vated the building.

“[Burden] remodeled the hotel using finely carved woodwork and moldings, still visible today among the high ceilings and painted wood panels,” the Lincklaen House website states. “Each of the 23 guest rooms is unique, and re tains its 19th-century charm. The locally made brick, fine chimneys, and broad front steps are wonderful represen tations of a storied past.”

The property was purchased in 1956 by Edward and Helen Tobin, who added modern amenities and ran the business until 1997 when it was pur chased by Kuper and his part ner Charles Morgan.

The renovated two-story structure includes a mix of 13 one-bedroom, one-bath units (684-825 square feet) and 15 two-bedroom, two-bath units (1,170-1,304 square feet).

Di Peso described the build ing’s interior as having a “clean, modern feel.”

The units feature granite countertops, stainless steel ap pliances, modern finishes, washer and dryer units, spacious closets, and lots of natural light.

Most of the apartments have windows overlooking an exist ing interior courtyard, which will be extensively renovated to include fire pits, grills, seat ing areas, and game areas. Work on the courtyard is expected to begin within the next couple of weeks and wrap up in spring 2023 along with the exterior landscaping.

Every apartment unit can be accessed without the use of stairs or an elevator, and most can be entered directly from the outside through their own front doors.

According to Di Peso, occu pants will also have access to a 24-hour fitness center; a com munity room with televisions, seating, and workstations; and a rural setting on eight acres.

Di Peso said there is enough parking for each unit to have two to three spots minimum with many spaces left over.

The Cazenovia-based engi neering firm Stearns & Wheler merged with GHD in 2009. In March 2020, GHD relocated its office from 1 Remington Park Dr. to Syracuse.

Di Peso Group and Icon Companies purchased the office building in June 2021.

Locally, Di Peso Group re cently completed a $5 million mixed-use historical renovation in Syracuse’s Armory Square called the Hudson Building. The firm also owns investment properties in Martha’s Vineyard and Orlando.

In addition to his real estate investment and development firm, Di Peso also owns Di Peso Contractors, a construction com pany specializing in commercial and industrial masonry work throughout New York State.

The Courtyard at Cazenovia is currently pre-leasing apartments through Icon Companies.

“Grazi and I met in our col lege years, and Icon Companies currently handles the leasing and property management of the Hudson Building, which I own,” said Di Peso.

On Sunday, Oct. 9, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Di Peso and Zaz zara will host an open house at the building. No reservations are required.

Move-in is scheduled for Oct. 15, 2022.

Di Peso graduated from Ca zenovia High School in 2002. After college, he returned to the school to coach men’s varsity soccer.

“I have so many great memo ries of growing up in Cazenovia and most of my family still re sides there,” said Di Peso. “I al ways wanted to do a project here to fill a need in the community. Plus, it gives me a reason to vis it.”

Di Peso added that although he views Cazenovia as a wonder ful place to live, he believes the community needs more rental options, especially outside the village.

“The Courtyard at Cazen ovia will help fill that void,” he said. “. . . We feel that the Court yard at Cazenovia checks all the boxes for [everyone from] young professionals to seniors.”

Area Democrats celebrateChurch to celebrate World Communion Day

The First Presbyterian Church will cel ebrate World Communion Sunday on Oct. 2 at the 10 a.m. service, Reverend Anna Gheen will deliver a meaningful sermon and serve communion to all in attendance.

Beth Freedman will be the liturgist for the service.

A fully staffed nursery is available during the service.

School-aged children will be dismissed after the Children’s Sermon to their Sunday School

World Communion Sunday, originally called World Wide Communion Sunday, is a gift of the Presbyterian Church to the larger ecumenical church.

The first celebration occurred at Shady side Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh in 1933.

It was their attempt to bring churches together in a service of Christian unity—in which everyone might receive both inspira tion and information, and above all, to know how important the Church of Jesus Christ is, and how each congregation is intercon nected one with another.

Celebration of World Wide Communion Sunday was adopted as a denominational practice in the Presbyterian Church (US) in

Schoolhouse. Their sponsorship of Community Day is a continu ation of their commitment to the preservation and promotion of the Rippleton Schoolhouse and local history.”

At this year’s event, former public school teacher Shari Craw ford will deliver a presentation on children’s toys and games.

“Her program began as a collection of toys for her own children and developed into a program that has been used by historic sites, special events, and workshops across the Northeast,” said Wells. “. . . Shari’s toys and games presentation will focus on 19th-century toys and games in keeping with the interpretive time period of the Rippleton Schoolhouse.”

Additionally, the Cherry Valley Country Spinners and Fiber Art ists will demonstrate wool spin ning, and School Mistress Mattie Buckland will be on hand to offer tours and a chance to experience life in a one-room schoolhouse.

The Rippleton Schoolhouse Community Day is free and will be held “rain or shine.”

Located at 17 Rippleton Road,

1936.

Churches in other denominations were invited to celebrate from the beginning, but it wasn’t until 1940 when the Depart ment of Evangelism of the Federal Coun cil of Churches (a predecessor body of the National Council of Churches) promoted extending the celebration to a number of churches around the world that the practice became widespread.

Today, World Communion Sunday is celebrated around the world, demonstrat ing that the church founded on Jesus Christ peacefully shares God-given goods in a world increasingly destabilized by global ization and global market economies based on greed.

If you are looking for an open and friendly place to celebrate World Com munion Sunday, Pastor Gheen invites you to worship at the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia.

Masks are encouraged but not required.

The service will also be available on the church’s YouTube, found on the website at cazpres.org

Lorenzo is the 1807 Federal-style home of John Lincklaen, Hol land Land Company agent and founder of Cazenovia.

The Lincklaen/Ledyard fam ily continually occupied Lorenzo until the property and its con tents were conveyed to New York State in 1968. The site is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and supported with help from the FOL, a non-profit organization dedicated to pre serving and promoting Lorenzo.

According to Wells, the Rip pleton Schoolhouse was origi nally built in 1814 three-quarters of a mile south of Lorenzo on Rt. 13 across from Rippleton Cross Rd. It was one of 15 schools built in Cazenovia and functioned as a schoolhouse until 1931.

Since it was moved to the Lorenzo grounds in 1997, the Rippleton Schoolhouse has of fered visitors multiple opportu nities to “live history.”

Each May and June, the schoolhouse serves as the prima ry focus of school field trips for hundreds of Central New York students. Classes can either tour both the Rippleton Schoolhouse and the Lorenzo mansion or par ticipate in a day-long immersive schoolhouse experience.

Democrats from across NY22 gathered recently at “Our Farm” in Manlius to cel ebrate the completion of the congressional primary and the selection of Francis Conole as their candidate. It was billed as a “Unity Event” in support of the candi date. Seventh five people enjoyed snacks, speeches, pictures with the farm’s don key, and the launching of watermelons via the iconic trebuchet high into the sky. The event was hosted by the owners of Our Farm, Jimmy and Janine Golub, as well as David and Carolyn Holmes, and Maureen and Bill Zupan. Former congressional candidates Chol Majok and Sarah Klee Hood pledged their support for Conole. The Dave Novak Trio performed popular songs and Liz Moran, chair of the Madison County Democratic Party made remarks. Maureen Zupan represented Cazenovia Call to Action for remarks to the audience.

The FOL has presented Com munity Day since 2002, drawing between 300 and 400 visitors on average.

In December, the schoolhouse is open on a Sunday afternoon during Lorenzo’s holiday programming.

Visitors are delivered by horsedrawn wagons to the decorated Rippleton Schoolhouse, where they can visit with the schoolteach er and make a holiday craft.

The schoolhouse is also open by appointment from May

through November.

Veterans given heroes’ salute

By DaviD Tyler

Eighty local veterans were welcomed home at Hancock Airport Saturday evening fol lowing a day long adventure on Syracuse Honor Flight 17 to the nation’s capital.

After arriving at Reagan National Airport, chartered buses transported the vet erans and supporting flight team to the WWII Memorial, the USAF Memorial, and the Korean and Vietnam War Me morials. The capstone event was observing the “Changing of the Guard” at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ar lington National Cemetery.

Upon their return to Syracuse, the veterans were greeted by dozens of wellwishers at the gate before heading to the main con course. Hundreds – perhaps thousands – of family, friends and well-wishers waved signs and cheered the veterans on as they paraded through the con course on their way to a brief welcome home ceremony. Most of the veterans aboard Mission 17 were from the Korean War and Vietnam War eras, with more than half having served during the Vietnam War. There were five veterans aboard who served during World War II.

Honor Flight Network

was formed in 2005 to trans port veterans at no cost to Washington, DC to visit their memorials. Honor Flight Syracuse conducted its inaugural mission in Oc tober 2012 for 27 veterans and since then, more than 1,200 veterans have traveled from Central and Northern New York and the Mohawk Valley. Each veteran brings a com panion, tabbed a ‘guardian’, to help him or her navigate the flight and tours of the monu ments and memorials.

The welcome home cel ebration was held in the cen

ter of the airport, emceed by local radio personality Amy Robbins. As they do for each of the Honor Flight missions, the Tom Dooley Choraliers sang a medley of the anthems for each of the branches of the military.

“Nothing is more impor tant than showing our deep appreciation for the service and sacrifice of the veterans we serve throughout Central New York,” said Kevin Brad ley, president, Honor Flight Syracuse. “As we honor our veterans and celebrate our 10th anniversary milestone,

we are so thankful for all of our volunteers, sponsors and contributors for making Mis sion 17 possible, and for help ing us continue our mission of flying veterans to Washing ton, DC to receive the honor and recognition that they so rightfully deserve.”

Nationally, the Honor Flight program will soon have taken more than a quar ter million veterans to Wash ington.

Among the local veterans on the flight were:

Richard H. “Rick” An derson, of Cazenovia, who

served in the Air Force from 1967 to 1973, earning the Dis tinguished Flying Cross with three oakleaf clusters for de livering supplies to a besieged special forces unit near the Cambodian border while un der intense fire.

David Ashworth of East Syracuse, who served in the Army from 1969 to 1971 as a sergeant, stationed in Sch weinfurt, Germany.

Cecil Yvonne “Kitty” Bry ant, of Manlius, who served in the Navy from 1953 to 1955 in the Navy disbursing office in Hutchinson, Kan.

Michael J. Conroy, of Ca zenovia, who served in the Marine Corps from 1963 to 1969. Conroy was a sergeant with the 2nd Marines, 11th Battalion and Medium Heli copter Squadron 164. He was wounded in Vietnam and his awards include the Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Cita tion and Combat Action Rib bon.

Richard Gara, of Cazen ovia, who served in the Army during the Cold War era from 1957 to 1960 as a Specialist E-4 / Artillery Support.

Fall feelings

By the calendar at least,the seasons have officially changed and summer has transitioned into fall in Cen tral New York.

For many this is a particu larly enjoyable time of year.

Whether it is decorating for the fall harvest season holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving, and we are already seeing plenty of pumpkins and corn stalks and other orange and yellow col ored items that celebrate the season, or it is enjoying the cooler, crisper weather with sweaters and warm pumpkin spiced drinks, there is some thing that brings a festive at mosphere to the fall season for many people who enjoy the cooler temperatures and that cozy feeling of a nice blanket or heavier clothing and a warm drink in their hands.

And of course there is also the visual beauty of the season.

Simply going online and looking at local weather fore casts or any number of other sites will likely turn up a map depicting the changing leaves and the colors of the season.

And while it is still just early fall, Mother Nature is already starting to put on a show, displaying some of the crisp oranges, reds and yellows that make the area come alive with color this time of year.

It is likely the peek of leaf peeping season is still a few weeks off, but there is no denying the scenic beauty that fall brings to our area with a blaze of brilliant colors.

And we are fortunate to call this area home and many people will even take the time to travel, making long drives, to take in the beauty many of us are able to enjoy by simply sitting on our porch or looking out our windows.

These days, with work, fami lies and other responsibilities, it is not always easy to take the time to stop and appreciate all that is around us.

Maybe the changing of the seasons can serve as a good reminder to slow down and take some time if you can and appreciate those things we are fortunate enough to have.

Whether it is a family outing to get pumpkins at any number of local pumpkin patches, sitting by the lake shore and gazing out over the water at the expanse of leaves that decorate the far reaching hills, gathering with friends around a campfire or going for a hike, right in the thick of the natural beauty our area possesses, along the many nature trails and preserves through the area, or going on a longer outing for a weekend or even a Sunday drive around town or out of town in almost any direction toward the North Country or to the southern tier or even toward New England, this is a great time of year to try to take a moment or two to sit back and enjoy the wonder and beauty that comes to our region with the change of the seasons and take some time to relax and simply enjoy yourself and time with friends and family and all our region has to offer.

CensUs: More THan nUMBers

I’ve been dipping into genealogy for the past few years, try ing to gather those with whom I share my genes. Ancestry.

com has been a library in which I searched diligently for my Smithwick and Champion ancestors. Wandering around in data from the last century and before has been fun but, until re cently, information about the recent past has been sparse.

I did look up the Smithwicks in Brooklyn in 1940 and found that I wasn’t yet there, but my parents were already at 332 55th street, most probably awaiting my arrival. I have pointed memories of that little apart ment in which we all lived until I was about 5, the apartment that was, for all intents and purposes, my whole world.

It was only very recently that the next census was available for search ing.

Today I opened the 1950 Census record of people who lived on 55th Street in Brooklyn and it brought back memories so strong and clear, I could hear the voices of my child hood friends calling me to play.

There they were, the names of family and friends, validating those long-ago memories of my youth.

When the census was taken, I was 9 years old. I was a student at Our Lady

Top cop

To the editor:

Election Day is fast approaching. There are many offices where candi dates are vying to be elected. But for the office of sheriff, I want the top cop to be a cop. In my book, that’s Toby Shelley.

Toby has the leadership, the management and the personal skills necessary for the office. An Iraqi veteran, he had led and fought. As a retired sheriff’s deputy, he was walked the walk. Currently a police officer, he is also a small business man who knows how to supervise and delegate and with a master’s degree in criminal justice, he knows the system and is poised to work for meaningful improvements.

Toby’s roots are in central New York going back decades. Instilled in him were the qualities of honesty and integrity, an approach he will bring to the sheriff’s office where he pledges transparency and service.

Nov. 8, vote for the top cop. Vote Toby Shelley.

I’d like to thank everyone for coming out to the Fayetteville Fes tival this past weekend. We had a great turnout, great weather as well as an amazing showcase for our nonprofit groups.

The festival is about bringing our community together, for a day to celebrate all the residents, non-forprofit groups and businesses that make our village so special. If you didn’t make it, you missed a day filled with games, fireworks, dis plays from all the groups through out our village and community.

I’d also like to thank deputy clerk Shepardson for all her hard work in making the event such a success.

of Perpetual Help pa rochial school on 6th Avenue. We went to mass every day, sitting with our classmates and singing a solemn high requiem mass in Latin. Our classes were large; a typical classroom held 60. We wore uniforms and wrote with wooden straight pens, nibs at tached to dip into the inkwells on our wooden desks.

There were those friends that lived close by on our block, our “village.”

The Gillens, and the census shows their names, Kathleen and Maureen, would join us playing school, using the steps of our stoop as a classroom, or putting chalk marks on the broken sidewalk in front of our house to out line the squares that were needed to play potsie, a variation of hopscotch that uses a pink “spaldine” ball.

A few days after police and med ics rescued him from the overdose, Brad Moses resigned his position as a county prosecutor because of the embarrassment his misconduct caused the District Attorney’s Of fice. He still wants you to elect him as county judge.

On the date of the overdose, a specimen of Brad Moses’ blood was taken by the hospital and shows he had opioids, marijuana and alcohol in his blood. He still wants you to elect him county judge.

An investigation by the sheriff’s department found witnesses that Brad Moses and others were snort ing cocaine off the stove top at Moses’ house in the Town of Nel son. He still wants you to elect him county judge.

Brad Moses knows that you will only see his name on the election ballot and he hopes you won’t know about his drug abuse and will vote for him.

You have an alternative.

You can write in on the ballot the name of Rhonda Youngs for county judge. Rhonda is a well-qualified attorney who is a local judge in Cazenovia and has an unblemished record as a lawyer.

This election is about the integ rity of the court system in Madison County. When you fill out your bal lot, please take the time to support the write in campaign of Rhonda Youngs.

male siblings really never played with them because they were boys, and boys played different games, street games that we were forbidden to play. But there was the gender neutral game of “ring-a-leeveo,” a Brooklyn version of what my grandsons call kick-the-can, that put us all into the mix of fun until the street lights came on when it was time to go home.

One year, and maybe it was 1950, I don’t remember, but Brooklyn was inundated with snow, so much so that traffic came to a halt and the street became a playground. It was then open season for everyone as we worked together to build a fort made of snow. I still can see that edifice in front of our house, as wonder ful a building that was ever built by children. The boys built openings to throw snowballs and the girls built a table and chairs for eating a dinner made of snow - a childhood version of division of labor.

Everyone had roller skates that you attached to your shoes with a skate key, if you could find one. Most of us had some kind of bicycle, ours were unique in that they didn’t have brakes. Why? I have no idea.

Response to comments on freedom of religion

To the editor: Jim Coufal’s recent letter to the Eagle Bulletin regarding freedom of religion in our country repeats much of an earlier letter by Jackie Michel on the same subject when he suggests everyone must “account for a diverse amalgamation of people with differ ent beliefs.” I thought I did just that in my second letter when I stated it’s my understanding all religious faiths (approximately 85 percent of the world’s population) believe in a divinity that wants us to love oth ers as we would wish to be loved. I added it’s my hunch over 50 percent of the remaining 15 percent of agnos tics and atheists also believe in the Golden Rule. Therefore, I thought I clearly accounted for all beliefs.

I then made it clear in my second letter there is nothing vague about my using the terms secular-human ism and secular-socialism. Both do not believe in a creator – period! Ap parently, Mr. Coufal believes human ists are very capable of developing their own principles of life “through the application of human reason and science to the understanding of the universe and to the solving of human problems.” That is very impressive. Note, however, nowhere does he say anything about the importance of love in our lives – love that I believe is the essence of what brings us genuine happiness.

Finally, Mr. Coufal should know my letter comments never said they “can’t be refuted.” The actual text read, “It’s my belief the above mes sage can never be successfully rebut ted by the secular socialists of either party and the social media.” I still stand by that statement.

Perhaps this closes the tit for tat. Let’s hope so.

Ramblings from the empty nest ann Ferro

FROM THE MAILBAG

Historical echoes

Three nights of last week was spent enduring a pain ful but necessary lesson.

Airing on PBS, The U.S. and the Holocaust took us back to one of human kind’s most awful episodes – namely, the murder of millions of people solely be cause of who they were and how they worshiped.

Filmmakers Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein were not inter ested in simply retelling the events from 1933 to 1945 that provoked a world war and brought us sick terms such as genocide.

Instead, they provoke us to see this tragedy as some

thing we, as Americans, may not have prevented, but at least could have done a little bit more, that even a few more families saved would certainly have justi fied the effort.

Even more important, the film does what all good documentaries should, and is a hallmark of the incred ible work Burns has done for more than four decades on subjects large and small.

In short, they provide a mirror of ourselves, and it isn’t always pretty.

Nothing in history just happens. Events of the past are always connected to what took place before and

always shape where we are now, in ways both healthy and otherwise.

Such was true of the rise of the Nazis, which required a combination of Germany getting punished for its role in World War I and a calam itous worldwide economic depression that led nations to seek drastic solutions.

America was fortunate in that the convulsions led to Franklin D. Roosevelt and a political upheaval that didn’t make things much, much worse, even if it took another world war to get ev eryone back to work.

Germany went in anoth er direction. But even if the

Next Wednesday is the day set for the second great County Day to be held in Madison County – a day set apart by the combined Madison County organizations to celebrate the development of Madison County and to discuss the problems that are of interest to the people. The first County Day, held in the Court House at Wampsville three years ago, was a huge success. This year the sessions of County Day will be held in Madison Hall at Morrisville. It is planned to have all the activities of the county during the next year summed up by D. D. Norton, chairman of the board of supervisors. A chance will be given for questions and free discussion. On the other hand, many more speakers of prominence will be heard. Never before in the history of Madison County have so many been gathered together at one time and for one occasion. There are com ing from New York City, from Albany, and from other counties to present methods and ideals that may help in the solution of our problems.

Mrs. L. H. Whitehead returned to her home in Maplewood, N. J. last week after a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Hawthorne. While here Mrs. Whitehead made a study of wild flowers in the vicinity of DeRuyter. During the months of July and August she was able to identify 91 specimens. Among the easiest wild flowers to identify were, of course, Devil’s Paint Brush, Hawkweed, Cinquefoil, Wood Sorrels, Vervail, Blue Vetch, Elecampane, Healall, Speedwell, Yarrow and St. John’s Wort. One specimen only of two flowers was found. One was the Ragged Fringed Orchid, a yellowish-green inconspicuous relative of the showy orchid. This specimen was found on Crumb Hill. The other was Closed Gentian, whose closed blue flowers never open. This specimen was brought from the woods by Miss Grace Wheat and is now growing in her garden.

Moving the swamp at the north end of Cazenovia Lake would be a good way to save the lake from being overgrown by weeds. Far from be ing the brainstorm of a barroom wit, eradicating the swamp’s influence on weed growth was recommended last week at a meeting held to discuss the lake’s future. The recommendation was made by the guest speaker at the meeting, Dr. Daniel F. Jackson of the school of civil engineering at Syracuse University, an expert on fresh water. Attending were village and town officials, and private citizens interested in the welfare of the lake. The meeting was called by Bernard T. Brown, Jr., town supervisor, due to growing concern over the accelerating weed growth in the lake which led to an inspection of the lake’s condition by Dr. Jackson last month.

Cazenovia’s scarecrows, that will line Albany St. throughout October, are planned to attract, rather than frighten away, both local residents and visitors to the plentiful attractions Cazenovia offers. The Retail Com mittee of the Assn. of Cazenovia Businesses is encouraging its members and all local residents to participate in the effort to dress the village for autumn and share a good time in the process. The theme of the activity is “Storybook Scarecrows” and the committee hopes to involve as many people as possible in creating and displaying an assortment of those characters, that need not be of the traditional sort but of a happy fanciful nature based on storybook persona.

mere idea of someone like Hitler is beyond repulsive, as The U.S. and the Holocaust showed, we were in no posi tion to lecture anyone about our democratic purity.

Whether it was the con stant presence of hate groups and nativism or the virulent anti-immigrant policies our government introduced as a reaction to mass waves of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th century, the leaders of the Third Reich had ample inspiration for their sick ideology.

What was more, they knew that, for all of our talk about America as a welcom ing place for immigrants, we were in no position to truly help the millions of Jews targeted from the mo ment Hitler took power.

tion to do more to lift im migration quotas. But it wasn’t popular among the public, the Depression was still raging in the 1930s and then, when the United States did enter the war, its aim was military victory against the Axis, not a hu manitarian effort.

Not only does the film lay out, in excruciating and awful detail, what hap pened to millions of inno cent people, it frames that story in a larger narrative that stretches to the pres ent day.

Images of the church in Charleston and the syna gogue in Pittsburgh where mass murders full of ha tred took place, the march in Charlottesville and, yes, the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol all serve as stark reminders of what happens when hate and prejudice manifests into deadly ac tion.

fered that history doesn’t re peat but that it can rhyme.

Well, recent years have provided far too many rhymes and reminders of what we wished were buried echoes of a shameful past.

Worse yet, a whole bunch of so-called “leaders” are determined to keep stu dents from learning the full, sometimes uncomfortable truth about our collective history. Better that they ad vance their careers, and con solidate their power, than have anyone grow through knowledge and wisdom.

What are they afraid of? Well, exactly what The U.S. and the Holocaust shows us – a story of a people con demned to extinction that, despite the best efforts of monsters, did not go away, but rather lived, and survived to tell their ter rible tale and warn us that it could happen again.

May their light, and the eternal light of millions of souls, continue to show us toward a better way.

Is there a link between golf and life?

ose that don’t play golf would probably say it is silly to even think about any kind of link between golf and life. ere are those who have played the game who feel the same way but they are probably the ones who experienced disappointment and frustration to a degree that caused them to quit the game and have nothing good to say about it.

Someone once described the game this way, “It is as perfect a window into the constitution of a person and the challenges of life as one can nd”. Gardner Dickinson, a PGA Tour player from 1956-1971 had this to say about the game, “ ey say golf is like life, don’t believe them. Golf is more complicated than that”.

Now that the golf season is 3/4 over, you have certainly gained another year of experience and knowledge to be able to answer yes, no or maybe to the title of this article. If your answer is yes, congratulations, and join the club. If your answer is still no, not a problem. Hopefully, some day when you least expect it, you will become one of us.. If your answer is maybe, perhaps what some famous people have to say might turn you to the “good” side of the force.

Caz resident brings art installation to Fayetteville bookstore

By Jason KlaiBer Staff Writer

A Cazenovia resident stopped by Doyle’s Books in Fayetteville last week to present an art installation and sign copies of her autobio graphical photography book.

After graduating from Maine Media Col lege during the COVID era and holding her thesis exhibition in her bedroom when the school’s gallery was closed, Patricia Christakos decided to get a collection of her still photogra phy published to document the art from that final project all in one place.

Her minimalist, imagery-centered book, entitled “Sleepover Secrets,” burrows into memories of being 12 years old, right on the cusp of teenhood.

It contains “poetic fragments” in the form of stand-alone phrases and short sentences placed next to each photograph—a design that prompts the reader to slow down and concen trate on the individual messages, such as the assurance on one page that all will be well in a petrifying moment.

Along with the coming-of-age aspect, cer tain self-portraits are meant as personifications of the elements earth, wind, water and fire.

Christakos’ art installation displayed last Thursday at the bookstore next to the Manlius Town Hall allowed the same themes to come alive through indoor wall projections.

The exhibit featured a bricolage of abstract clips, some recorded by Christakos herself and

others extracted from motion pictures of de cades past. One example of found footage used is an especially important touchstone for the local artist: the scene in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy steps from a sepia-toned Kansas landscape into the colorful dreamland of Oz. Other quick snippets of film in the instal lation showed the fields of Cazenovia followed by waves crashing onto Gasparilla Island, where Christakos resides through parts of the winter.

In an adjoining room of the book shop, the theme of “domesticity” came into play with her three framed photos of kitchen sinks. A mother to three children, Christakos intended to con vey the everyday beauty of a sink piled high with dishes after a family gathering as well as a comparative sense of decay shown by withering flowers and a lone plate from a meal for one.

In the back room, an experimental video in troduced a non-linear narrative subtly inspired by Jeanne Baret, an 18th century French voyager recognized as the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. That work in progress referenced Ba ret’s decision to disguise herself as a man aboard her ship and the encounters she had with animals like iguanas and whales while out at sea.

The owner of the Fayetteville bookstore, Michael Brophy, said the event was a “great success” in that everyone in attendance ap peared to enjoy the display. Comparing the art show to Andy Warhol’s psychedelic exhi bitions, Brophy said he applauds Christakos’ “compelling vision” and the way the projec tions popped in his shop.

“I leap at opportunities to support local au thors, artists and people that are doing interest ing things,” Brophy said.

Portions of the proceeds from “Sleepover Secrets” have gone to helping at-risk teenagers through Florida’s Pace Center for Girls, where Christakos once taught a self-portraiture course. Formoreonherartwork,visitpatriciachristakos. com

Christian Brothers Academy girls tennis team remains undefeated

By PHil BlaCKWell

Area high school girls tennis teams had to work in between bursts of bad weather that, at the outset, wiped out all of last Monday’s scheduled matches.

When play resumed a day later, Christian Brothers Academy was again showing itself to be the dominant side in the OHSL Liberty division, getting a 7-0 victory over Homer.

Allie Mancini defeated Molly Gallagher 6-4, 6-1 in singles to complement shutouts by Giselle Vlassis and Rowan Doyle. In doubles, the teams of Audrey Schaefer-Meredith Som mers, Hana Kang-Maddie Kanerviko, Claire Schaefer-Julie Zdep and Gianna Moore-Moni ca Fallon did not lose three games in any of the eight sets they played.

Finally giving up some points, CBA was tested more by Westhill last Wednesday, but still beat the Warriors 5-2.

In single-set matches to 10 games, Vlas sis, Doyle and Mancini dropped just two to tal games. The teams of Sommers-Audrey Schaefer and Zdep-Claire Schaefer both won, too, but Kang and Kanerviko lost 10-8 to Isa

bella Johnson and Kathleen Rogers as, by those same scores, Moore and Fallon fell to Megan Battista and Samantha Burkett.

Fayetteville-Manlius was again showing top form, shutting out West Genesee 7-0 and preserving with a doubles battle where Lina Linam and Kayla Quinn rallied for a 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 win over Calina Olson and Angelina Al len. Challenged in singles, Trisha Adavikolanu beat Isabelle Wells 6-4, 6-3, with Selena Chen topping Margaret Mello 6-3, 6-1 and Angelina Fang beating Cindy Schlenker 6-3, 6-1.

Lindsey Chong and Julia Comprix with stood a late push from Helena Allen and Gwen Shope to win 6-2, 7-5 as the teams of Samreen Mangat-Shreya Bhattacharya and Aimee Fousek-Caitlyn McLain also won in two sets.

East Syracuse Minoa took a 4-3 defeat to Central Square, despite a pair of three-set vic tories to go with Brooke Kirkpatrick’s 6-3, 6-0 romp over Catherine Hayes.

Adrianna Byrd outlasted Grace Roberts 6-4, 4-6, 10-5, with Gianna Brilbeck and An gelina Baxter rallying past Chloe Giblin and Finley Harwood 2-6, 6-3, 6-1. Tierrah Bauer and Jessica Baker had a chance at a clinching

point, but lost in three sets to Samantha Young and Paige Westfall.

Matching that point total against Auburn a day later, ESM found itself on the wrong end of another 4-3 decision.

Brilbeck and Baxter won in straight sets, as did Erin and Emily Murnane, with Baker and Bella Sylvester pairing up to outlast Abigail Car and Ashlyn Feneck 6-0, 3-6, 7-5.

However, the Maroons won each of the singles matches, with Brooke Kirkpatrick and Sophie Jones taking defeats and, in three sets,

Byrd falling 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 to Cara Vasile.

Yet another close match on Friday ended in yet another 4-3 defeat, the Spartans this time falling to Liverpool.

Unable to get a point in singles, ESM had Sylvester and Rhiannon Axtmann win in doubles in straight sets, as did the teams of Baker-Bauer and Brilbeck-Baxter, who both got shutouts. But Liverpool earned the re maining doubles point when Stella Nesci and Maya Boots lost, 6-0, 6-1, to Hailey Jaquin and Isabella Turck.

Caz football battles to 28-21 win over Solvay

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

Elevated to the no. 4 spot in the first state Class C rankings of the fall, the Cazenovia foot ball team was now a clear target for any opponent - as it quickly found out.

Venturing to Solvay on Fri day night, the Lakers had to go all the way to the wire before holding off the Bearcats 28-21, a game far closer than Cazen ovia’s comfortable wins over Skaneateles and Bishop Lud den.

Solvay entered the game with a 2-1 record, having shown vast improvement from the side that went 1-6 a season ago, and in front of home fans at Al Merola Field it spent most of the first half keeping the Lakers’ potent

offense quiet - with one excep tion.

Cazenovia drove to the Solvay 28-yard midway through the first quarter, from where J.P. Hoak threw deep and found Brayden Weismore, who got be hind the Bearcats secondary for the touchdown.

For a while, that single play was enough since, for the third week in a row, Cazenovia’s de fense recorded a first-half shut out, which allowed the Lakers to wait out its struggles on the other side of the ball and lead 7-0 at the break.

Not until the midway point of the third quarter did Cazen ovia add to its margin, Hoak scoring on a one-yard plunge. But then Solvay, down 14-0, struck for the first time, driv

ing to the Lakers’ seven be fore Jaysin Bliss found the end zone.

Again, the Cazenovia de fense took charge in the fourth quarter, forcing a Solvay punt deep in its own territory. Tak ing it at midfield, Jack Byrnes picked up blocks and made his way 52 yards to the goal line for the Lakers’ first special-teams TD of the season.

When the Bearcats cut the margin to 21-14 when Bliss scored on a six-yard run, a pa tient Lakers drive restored the two-score cushion, Jack Donlin going the final four yards for the TD.

Even here, the visitors could not relax. Solvay cut the mar gin to seven when Bliss netted his third TD from one yard out

with under a minute left. Only when an onside kick rolled out of bounds could the Lakers put the game away.

Hoak ran for 103 yards on 14 carries to go with his eight-for14 passing for 129 yards. Don lin gained 82 yards on just nine carries.

Solvay would have far more time on the field - 65 plays, to Cazenovia’s 42 - and got 300 total yards. Byrnes and Jed Olkowski each got six tackles, with Brad Gagnon getting 11 assists to go with his four solo tackles and Connor Adams add ing 10 assists.

Cazenovia returns to Buck ley-Volo Field next Saturday at 1:30 to host Clinton.

Chittenango remains in search of its first win of the

season, but showed some spark last Friday late in a 49-35 de feat to Homer.

The state Class B no. 7-ranked Trojans jumped out to a 28-0 lead before the Bears got on the board late in the second quarter with Jack Lamphere’s eight-yard TD pass to Zailor Caras.

Then Chittenango, down 35-7 at the break, would net four touchdowns in the second half, even as Homer found the end zone twice to make sure the Bears didn’t catch up.

Lamphere, who was 18-for31 for 244 yards, threw three more scoring passes and added a TD run as Kyle Wherlin car ried the ball 12 times for 65 yards.

Caz girls cross country remains undefeated

BY KURT WHEELER

The Cazenovia girls cross country team earned another pair of league victories last Wednedsay to remain unbeaten atop the OHSL Liberty-National Division with a 4-0 mark, then turned in a top-three per formance at the massive Baldwinsville In vitational three days later.

First, the Lakers visited Hannibal in week three of league action, upending Ska neateles 25-33 in a rematch of their seasonopening victory, The girls also earned a forfeit 15-51 win over the host Warriors, who were unable to field a team.

Cazenovia had to rely on its exceptional depth to achieve the victory over those other Lakers with some of their usual top finishers out of the lineup for the day.

Olivia Ruddy was number one for the team again, running an exceptional 19 minutes, 53 seconds, on the slightly short Hannibal course, beating the rest of the field by more than a minute.

Skaneateles managed to grab three of the next four spots with Lucy Fleckenstein (20:59) leading the way, but Faith Wheeler broke them up by claiming the third posi tion overall with a gutsy 21:07 race.

Cazenovia then slammed the door on the victory, claiming six of the next seven spots across the line.

Freshman Maeve McGreevy led the Laker pack, earning third place for the team and sixth overall in 22:53. Veteran Zoey Gagne was next 23:05 with Freshman Haylee Stearns earning her first top-five finish for the team with a 23:37 effort.

Bonnie Pittman (23:55) and Sedona Millard (25:30) contributed to the win by displacing Skaneateles’ final scorers from

their number six-seven spots.

Cazenovia again found itself once again as it traveled to the Baldwinsville Invita tional, but still managed to finish third in the 33-eam field in the Varsity Small School division.

They were led by Ruddy’s exceptional fourth-place individual finish in 20:18.3 as the tenacious sophomore moved up through the pack from start to finish.

With several of their traditional top runners out for the day, the Lakers once again looked to their deep roster for help and the girls answered the call.

McGreevy ran her best race yet to finish second for the team (29th overall) in 22:20 flat. Gagne also had her fastest race of the season in 22:40.5 and Dinah Gifford was close behind at 23:02.0.

Pittman took fifth for the team in 23:56.8 to close out the Lakers’ total of 132, just two points behind Cato-Meridi an’s second place score of 130. Defending sectional champ South Jefferson was first with 60 points.

Michaela Tobin ran her best race yet to earn sixth for the team at 25:12.4, with Mesi Stevens earning the number seven spot at 25:48.2. Ilsa Denton and Emma O’Shea also raced well for the Lakers.

Cazenovia will have Homecoming Week off to train and get healthy before return ing to league action on Oct 5 and traveling to New York City for the Manhattan Invi tational on Oct 8.

Cazenovia girls cross country freshman Maeve McGreevey had a breakout week for the Lakers, excelling in both her team’s win over Skaneateles and its fourth-place finish in the Baldwinsville Invitational.

Caz girls volleyball tops Solvay, Cato-Meridian

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

Every single time it looked for crucial points, the Ca zenovia girls volleyball team would earn them.

That was what made the difference in last Wednesday night’s match at Buckley Gym, where the Lakers were able to defeat Solvay in four sets and improve to 5-1 on the season.

Having lost the opening set 25-22, Cazenovia handled the

Bearcats 25-14 in the second, but then the real drama start ed.

Five different times in the third set, possible set points were turned back before the Lakers, at 27-27, claimed the serve and earned the point to win 29-27.

Even with this, Solvay near ly extended the match in the fourth, but by a 25-23 margin

Cazenovia clinched a victory as Maren Smith led the way

with nine kills, 11 digs and two aces.

Sophie Reger and Ashley Lordon had five kills apiece, while Zoe McLean earned four kills. Becca Ziemba, with 14 as sists and 13 digs, led the back line as Lucy Bliss got seven as sists, eight digs, three aces and two kills.

On Solvay’s side, Ashley Filicia had 17 assists and four aces. Nevaeh Baker and Tay ler Kadlubowski also had four

aces as Hannah Haase got six kills and four aces, with Carly Overend adding five kills. De fensively, Baker amassed 27 digs and Haase had four digs.

It wasn’t as dramatic in Friday’s match against CatoMeridian, where the Lakers needed just three sets to put away the Blue Devils, even if the scores were 25-19, 25-21 and 25-22.

Abby Falso’s four assists aided Bliss, who had three aces

to go with her eight assists. Ziemba got five assists as, up front, Smith had five kills, Mya Skeele got four kills and Lordon notched three kills and three blocks. Anna Bjork finished with five assists and five digs.

A tough match awaited Monday night, Cazenovia vis iting Sknaeateles, before it was home Friday to face JordanElbridge.

Cazenovia, Chittenango tennis teams earn victories

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

When all of the early-week rains tried out, there was time for girls tennis matches on a warm Wednesday afternoon, with Ca zenovia and Chittenango both successful.

Even though the Lakers were able to shut out Mexico 7-0, the margin did not reflect the battle

as four of the seven matches went to three sets.

Rachel Molloy, in first singles, claimed a close one over Juliana Smith 6-1, 3-6, 7-5, with Madden Cobb also playing a tight third set in her 6-3, 6-7, 7-5 win over Paige Masrouri.

Over in doubles, Erin Kuhn and Katie Williams needed a third-set tie-breaker to complete

its rally and beat Anita Druce and Grace Schipper 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Tea gan Brown and Cady Webb came back, too, for their 4-6, 6-3, 8-6 win over Shealyn Burns and Ol ivia Bartel.

Having an easier time of it, Grace Probe routed Zoe Grzesik 6-0, 6-1, with Nora Bera and Leah Bell handling Avery Mack and Is abella Ponzi 6-2, 6-0 as Ava Dal

ton, paired with Kiana Vazquez, beat Morgan Benton and Nata leigh Smith 6-2, 6-1.

As for the Bears, it beat Bish op Grimes 6-1, claiming all of its points in straight sets except for Emily Gushea’s 6-2, 6-0 defeat to Sofia Ziankoski.

Sarah McKillid won 6-0, 6-3 over Riley Broton, with Maddy Douglas also wasting little time

defeating Isabella Bonacci 6-0, 6-2.

Two of the doubles matches were forfeited, but Savannah Drake and Anna Spencer did play, blanking Ashlee Brisson and Kristina Kovar 6-0 6-0 as Evelyn Keville and Allison Bar toszek beat Francesca Smith and Lania Young 6-1, 6-1.

Caz boys soccer breaks out with pair of wins

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

With plenty of patience on hand, the Cazenovia boys soccer team is witness ing some growth, putting its early lop sided defeats long behind them.

And a month’s worth of frustrations was taken out by the Lakers last Thurs day night as, led by Sully Clarke, it roared past the Solvay Bearcats by a 7-0 margin.

More than half of Cazenovia’s 13 shots found the net and Clarke was most responsible, his four goals setting a new career mark as Clarke also got an assist.

J.D. Dolly had a goal and two assists,

with Jack Coburn and Dan Raymond also finding the net. Alex Dolly got two assists and Alex Coburn added an as sist.

A day later, against Camden, it was another impressive effort by the Lak ers, who bolted to a 3-1 lead on the Blue Devils by halftime and doubled that margin until it had prevailed 5-1.

Staying red-hot, Clarke had his sec ond consecutive hat trick, converting three times as J.D. Dolly got a goal and two assists. Raymond had the other goal, while Connor Frisbie and Cole Frazee gained assists.

When Cazenovia challenged reigning

state Class B champion Sknaeateles last Tuesday night, it did get on the board and stayed within sight most of the way during a 4-1 loss.

Utilizing its depth quite well in the first encounter between these teams since Skaneateles’ 2-0 win in last fall’s Section III title game, Sknaeateles had four different players - John Phillips, David Petercsak, Quinn Cheney and Heschel Eidel – pick up the team’s four goals.

After beating Solvay, Cazenovia took aim at Camden 24 hours later, its third game in four days.

Chittenango found itself challenged

last Tuesday by 3-3 Phoenix, who stayed in it all the way to the end before the Bears were able to edge the Firebirds 1-0, its first-half goal proving enough.

Now at 6-1-1 at the midway point of its regular season, the Bears took its own shot at Skaneateles two nights later, and got a bit closer than Cazenovia did, but still was shut out 2-0.

A scoreless first half added to the suspense, but Sknaeateles remained pa tient and, after intermission, took over as Andrew Falkenburg and Wyatt Lang ford earned goals and Teague Foley got an assist.

Caz cross country tops Skaneateles, Hannibal

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

Continuing to solidify its place atop the OHSL Liberty National division, the Ca zenovia boys cross country team swept a tight three-team meet with Skaneateles and Hannibal last Tuesday afternoon.

The Lakers edged the Warriors 27-30, and held off Skaneateles 24-34 in a race where Branden McColm went 18 minutes, 36 sec onds, behind the Hannibal duo of Noah Meltia (17:23) and Gavin Griffin (17:37).

Will Austin fnished in 19:28 as he and Eddie Comeau (19:44) were ahead of Han

nibal’s third runner, Sean Taylor (19:58). But it took Jake Woolbert finishing in 20:45 and Garret Lounsbury posting 20:58 ahead of the Warriors’ fourth and fifth runners to hang on to the top spot.

In the Varsity Small School division of Saturday’s 70th annual Baldwinsville Invita tional, Cazenovia finished 10th in a 29-team field as McColm made his way to 19th place in 18:13.7. Austin got 39th place in 19:05.6 as Comeau was 55th in 19:24.8 and Woolbert finished in 19:45 flat.

Cazenovia field hockey goes through 1-2 week

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

For the entire last full week of September, the Cazenovia field hockey team would play on home grounds at Burton Street Elemen tary School, starting in summer warmth and ending with a fall chill.

In between all the rain that fell last Mon day, the Lakers were able to squeeze in its game against Homer, making in three wins in a row by handling the Trojans 5-1.

Streaking to a 4-0 advantage by halftime, Cazenovia ultimately had five different goalscorers.

Grace Kingsley, Hannah Adams, Reid McMurtrie, Maya Gilmore and Margaret Huftalen each took turns pouring shots into the net.

They were helped by assists from Bella Fazio and Meghan Mehlbaum, with Homer managing just two shots against a vastly im proving Cazenovia defense.

Two days later, the Lakers had a chance to climb back to the top of the OHSL standings, meeting the same Port Byron/Union Springs side it lost to 4-0 two weeks earlier.

The rematch proved closer, but again the Panthers kept Cazenovia off the board, this

time claiming a 2-0 decision.

Cazenovia actually took more shots and applied relatively constant pressure, yet none of its nine shots got by Port Byron/Union Springs goalie Colleen Jump.

Rothfeld picked up five saves and the defense continued to show its constant im provement. Still, the Panthers got in front and stayed there as MacKenzie McDowell and Kylee Cordway put in goals, with Abby McKay adding an assist.

In a non-league game Friday against Fay etteville-Manlius, Cazenovia was not quite able to escape a two-goal deficit in a 2-1 defeat

to the Hornets.

Single goals in the second and third peri ods - one by Sarah Porter, the other by Car ine Smith – gave F-M a 2-0 advantage, yet it could not pull away thanks to Rothfeld’s eight saves.

Trying to come back, the Lakers inched within one on Adams’ goal, assisted by Fazio, in the fourth quarter, yet could not complete the comeback.

Having fallen to 3-5 overall, Cazenovia would go to Little Falls and Cato-Meridian early this week prior to a Friday visit from Weedsport.

Caz girls soccer ties unbeaten Skaneateles, 2-2

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

Here was the chance for the Cazenovia girls soccer team to really put itself to the test – and it found out that it is more than ready to perhaps do something special lat er this fall.

Skaneteles, undefeated and defending the Section III Class B championship, brought a no. 2 state ranking to the Sean Googin Sports Complex last Wednesday night, but it could not earn a victory as the

host Lakers matched the efforts of the visi tors and pulled off a 2-2 draw.

Not only was Skaneateles 7-0 going into the game, it had shut out six of those seven opponents and outscored them by a com bined 23-1 margin.

Yet Cazenovia needed less than the 80 minutes of regulation to double what all the previous combined foes had done against Skaneateles. Hannah Ruddy and Ella Baker picked up goals, with Dinah Gifford adding an assist.

Cazenovia, Chittenango boys golf take defeats

BY PHIL BLACKWELL

Though Julia O’Connor and Paige Wil lard put in goals for Skaneateles, it could not nab the game-winner late in regulation or in 20 minutes of overtime, Skye Sanford working her total to eight saves helped by a fierce and resilient Cazenovia defense.

Looking to follow this up, Cazenovia visited Alibrandi Stadium Friday to face Christian Brothers Academy and found it self in overtime, but was able to defeat the Brothers 2-1.

Baker led the way, as in the first half she took a pass from Caitlyn Smithers and converted to put the Lakers in front 1-0, which lasted for a while.

Lauren Zollo tied it for CBA with a second-half free kick, but that was all Ca zenovia’s defense would allow, Stanford working her way to 10 saves.

It went into OT, where Hannah Ruddy, from the right side, sent a touch pass to Baker, whose shot sailed into the top left part of the net for the game-winner.

Back on Tuesday, Chittenango took a 2-3-1 record into its game against Phoenix and was unable to get much going in a 3-0 loss to the Firebirds.

Rebecca Baldwin recorded six saves for the Bears, but she had no answer for Court ney Carter, the Phoenix forward who, car rying her own side, netted all three goals for a hat trick to give her 10 for the sea son.

Two days later, Chittenango lost to Marcellus 5-0, with Baldwin getting seven saves but the Mustangs rolling behind a deep and balanced attack led by Ava Aup perle, who had two goals and one assist.

In matches against top Onondaga High School League Liberty division foes, the Cazenovia and Chittenango boys golf teams found themselves humbled.

Cazenovia met its fellow Lakers from Skaneateles last Wednesday afternoon and, amid one more blast of summer heat, could not keep up in a 208-245 defeat.

Rebounding on a cold, chilly Friday afternoon, Cazenovia moved back to the .500 mark (4-4) when it defeated LaFayette 220-233 at Orchard Valley.

Chittenango, meanwhile, took a 5-2

record into last Tuesday’s match against Westhill at Camillus Golf Club, where the Warriors pulled out a 214-216 decision over the Bears.

This happened despite Alex Moesch, with a 36, and Ty Kelly, with a 37, putting up the two best individual scores.

Aiden Ryan, with a 39, led a quartet

of Westhill golfers that included Devin Young (40), Grady Pens (41) and Danny Young (44), overcoming a 45 from Tanner Smith and 49s from Anthony Thousand and Henry Miller.

These same two teams met again a day later at Rogues Roost, and again the scores were close – and again, Chittenango was on
