Another business coming to Clay

J W didado electric to build office, training space

By AshlEy M. CAsEy AssoCiAte editor

The town of Clay is welcoming yet another business: J.W. Didado Electric is constructing a 24,000-square-foot of fice and training facility on the corner of Morgan and Wetzel roads. The electrical contractor, which is based in Ohio, held a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 19.

J.W. Didado’s $8 million facility will be just down the road from Amazon’s fulfillment center, which is the largest in New York State and employs about 1,500 people. While JWD’s Clay office will employ just 18 people, it has created 80 construction jobs. VIP Structures is de signing and building the facility, which is slated for completion by this fall.

The office also will serve as a truck maintenance facility and dispatch cen ter for JWD’s storm team, which repairs power lines and substations after storms.

JWD President Dan Sublett said there is “no limit to our ambitions.” He said the company installs electric vehicle charging

American High honchos honored at film fest

By Russ TARBy Contributing Writer

In the five years since opening its Acad emy at Syracuse Studios in Liverpool’s old high-school building, American High has made more than a dozen full-length films and had a hand in several others.

Several have even been screened at prestigious festivals such as Sundance and South by Southwest.

Last Saturday, Oct. 15, the Syracuse International Film Festival (SIFF) recog nized American High’s impressive output by bestowing its top award – the Sophia -to chief executive officer Jeremy Garelick and head of production Will Phelps.

Named for legendary actress Sophia Loren, the Sophia is awarded to filmmak ers for outstanding creative achievements in the world of independent cinema. Past recipients include Bobcat Goldthwait, Grace Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Oren Lyons, Ron Perlman, Rob Reiner and Jerry Stiller.

Phelps accepted the award at the fes tival’s finale at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown, but Garelick was unable to attend the awards ceremony.

“The festival was great,” Phelps said afterwards. “And it was fun to see so many people supporting film in Syracuse.”

The 19th annual film fest featured 33 films and short films from around the world, including movies shot in Central NY. One was “Crush,” an offbeat comingof-age comedy as it depicts a budding re lationship between two high-school girls.

“Crush” was shot as American High coordinated the collaboration with four other professional production companies. At the film festival, “Crush” was screened on Saturday afternoon at the Explora Dome, the updated digital planetarium at the MOST (Museum of Science and Tech nology) in Armory Square.

“A special video message from the director, Sammi Cohen, played before hand,” Phelps said.

Following the film, Phelps helmed a panel discussion also featuring aspiring actress and American High staffer Axelle Azoulay.

Many Syracuse University students get jobs at American High after graduation “A job like that keeps past students in the area, as opposed to relocating to places like L.A.,” according to Syracuse Inter national Film Festival President John Ginty.

The hands-on approach has long-run benefits.

“They’re seeing things from a differ ent angle and a different perspective, es pecially with the technology, social me dia,” Ginty observed. “So, a lot of that is informing how they shoot and why they shoot and how the story evolves.”

At age 46, Garelick is an accomplished screenwriter and director. Over the years, he has worked on blockbuster comedies such as “The Break Up,” “The Hangover” and “The Wedding Ringer.”

Last year, he directed Vince Vaughn starring in “The Binge.”

Garelick’s longtime production part ner, Will Phelps, earned credits as pro ducer for a dozen American High proj ects including “Big Time Adolescence,” “Looks that Kill” and “Crush.”

He’s executive producer of “I Love My Dad” and “Empire Waist.”

The 2022 film festival kicked, off on Oct. 12, with screenings at venues such as the Marriott Syracuse Downtown, as well as ArtRage Gallery, the Jewish Commu nity Center and ExploraDome.

Johnson Park usage rate raised

By Russ TARBy Contributing Writer

An estimated 100 vendors and several hundred shoppers filled Johnson Park at a Halloween-themed bazaar on Saturday, Oct. 15.

The series, presented by Jessica and Jere my Mosley – owners of the Cozmic Cauldron in downtown Syracuse – began with a spring bazaar on May 28, followed by a Fathers’ Day bazaar on June 18.

Dozens of vendors and several scores of shoppers visited the park those days, but by the time the Mosleys staged their summer time bazaar on July 23, the event had expand ed to more than 80 vendors and hundreds of customers.

Vendors sold jewelry, bath and beauty items, crocheted animals, clothes, artwork, furniture and photography. One vendor of fered tarot card readings.

At the Oct. 17 meeting of the village board of trustees, Mayor Gary White noted that the most recent bazaar created an excess of gar bage which overflowed from the park’s trash cans. White suggested that the village should raise the rate it charges to use the park for such craft fairs.

This year, the Mosleys paid $100 for each bazaar they organized here on Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. White said the fee should be increased to $250 per day.

Trustee Matt Devendorf proposed a fee scale based on the number of vendors. Events presenting 30 or less vendors would pay $150 per day, while events with more than 30 vendors would pay $250. The trustees voted unanimously to charge those fees.

Non-profit groups would continue to re serve the park at no cost.

The Mosleys had requested to reserve Johnson Park on 12 different dates next year, twice each month May through October, but now those plans are in doubt.

“I’m afraid the additional cost will inevi tably trickle down to our vendors,” Jessica Mosley wrote in an email. “I try to keep the vendors’ costs as affordable as possible.”

Mosley owns and operates Mosley Mercan tile on Vine Street selling health and beauty products and services and helps her husband run the Cozmic Cauldron downtown.

The promoters don’t make money on the bazaar booth rentals, Mosley said.

“The only way we can make any money is by selling items day of, which is why we have our own table set up under the amphitheater’s covered pavilion,” she said.

The village’s fee increase has cast doubt on the future of the bazaars.

“We are still a bit confused as the [village’s] original charge was for use of bathrooms and electricity, which has now changed,” Mosley wrote. “We clean the park and place all garbage bags neatly by the trash cans and now that is an issue as well. We started doing this to help small businesses and crafters make money and recover from loses of COVID-19.”

“We are unsure of where we will go from here,” Mosley wrote. “It is definitely a talk we will have with our usual vendors and attend ees. We really wanted to do something great in the community and give people a way to make some extra income during these hard times.”

Ten accidents in september

At the village trustees monthly meeting, Trustee Matt Devendorf reported that the Liverpool Police Department made 412 traf fic stops in September, and officers issued 415 citations for violations of the state’s vehicle and traffic laws.

Ten vehicle accidents were investigated here last month, and three motorists were ar rested for driving while intoxicated. Officers made 92 residential checks and 148 business checks in September while responding to a total of 811 incidents and calls for service.

The LPD arrested 78 individuals last month on 102 criminal charges. That’s more than twice the usual number of monthly ar rests here.

As summer wrapped up and the school year began, the Northern Onondaga Pub lic Library (NOPL) was busy crunching the numbers for what seemed like a suc cessful Summer Reading Program. Since reopening its doors in 2020, the library has been trying to get its patron visit numbers closer to pre-COVID years with diverse and unique program offerings. With summer being the library’s most highly-trafficked months, staff prepared for safe gatherings by offering many out door events, pre-recorded programs, and takeaway projects.

The three branches of NOPL in Brew erton, Cicero, and North Syracuse offered 181 library programs to invite patrons of all ages to the library. The breakdown was 42 programs designed for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, 42 for children aged

6-11, 20 for tweens and teens, and 77 for adults. The various programs brought in just over two-thousand program goers from late June to early September.

“We were all pleased with these stats and are hopeful that program attendance will continue to increase,” says Sarah Heukrath, North Syracuse Branch Youth Service’s Librarian.

Another way the library stretched its wings was by utilizing its Pop-Up Library, a mobile library truck with gullwing doors that open to a collection of books for check-out. So far this year, the Pop-Up Library has had 113 visits and circulated 8,503 items. Jen Tolley, NOPL’s Outreach

Librarian, and her staff attended various summer events, including local concerts, festivals, information fairs, and facili ties. The Pop-Up Library can change its collection for different locations offering senior centers, daycares, and other sites

Gary Didado, recently retired president of JWD, said the company chose Clay because of its proximity to Syracuse Hancock Inter national Airport and major highways.

“Without a doubt, this was the place we wanted to be,” Didado said.

The Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency has granted JWD more than $680,000 in tax breaks over the next 15 years, including $250,000 in property tax exemptions and $323,000 in sales tax exemp tions for construction mate rials.

“Our ‘Live Classroom’ program is designed to men tor students who desire to pursue careers in the fields of construction, engineering, or architecture by focusing on STEM related training. Our 12-week workforce devel opment program, ‘Train to Hire,’ is aimed at transition ing young adults to full-time, part-time, or project-specific employment opportunities,” JWD wrote in its application to OCIDA. “The promotion of our ‘Brighter Future Pro gram’ helps to guide indi viduals who have previously been incarcerated, providing them with second chance

“It’s opportunities like this one, the New York State center of operations for an expanding company, that will have a profound im pact on our community,” said Meg Tidd, CEO of VIP Structures.

Tidd thanked Onondaga County Executive Ryan Mc Mahon and the town of Clay for making JWD’s project a reality. She also commended McMahon for his role in bringing Amazon and Mi cron to the area.

“These are tremendous successes for our region and everyone who does business here,” Tidd said. “Thank you for creating an environ ment where businesses like VIP and J.W. Didado can thrive.”

Clay Town Councilor Kevin Meaker praised the project and other recent eco nomic development in Clay like Amazon and Micron Technology.

Have a safe Halloween

Just looking around it is easy to see many are well into the spirit of the Halloween season.

At this point many have their homes decked out with ghosts and goblins, gravestones and jack-olanterns.

These days most every holiday seems to call for some amount of decorating, but Halloween may be one the holidays people have the most fun with.

Whether it is the thrill of a little safe scare or something about the feel of fall, or the fun of dressing up in costumes and celebrating, there is something about Halloween many are able to relate to.

Adults certainly have a connec tion to Halloween, but in many households it is the children who get the most excited.

The chance to dress up as their favorite superhero or cartoon char acter and spend a night out seeking candy is simply irresistible.

As much fun as Halloween is, it is important to remember to make the effort to be safe.

Whether you will be out with your kids, passing out treats or simply go ing about your usual daily routines, there are steps we can all take to make sure the night is as safe and fun as possible for everyone.

Kids out trick-or-treating should be able to be easily seen by drivers.

Take the time to make sure children’s costumes have reflective materials if possible and children have some light source such as a flashlight or a glow stick, an item that is easily picked up for as little as a dollar a piece.

If you will be driving keep an eye out for children walking, particularly when they are crossing the road.

Safekids.org has shared a number of other things to keep in mind for a safe and happy Halloween no matter how you are celebrating it.

According to this organization on average, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

Taking measures such as carry ing glow sticks, parents or guardians joining kids under 12 while they are out and selecting costumes that limits the chances of trips and falls are all important considerations.

Other tips to keep mind ac cording to safekids.org include crossing the street at corner and using crosswalks and traffic signals; putting down electronic devices and focusing on traffic and other considerations while out as well as teaching kids to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of vehicles are all helpful tips. As well as not crossing between parked cars and not darting out into the street.

If you live in area with no side walks safekids.org recommends walking facing traffic and as far out of the road as possible.

For those out driving safekids.org recommends slowing down espe cially in residential neighborhoods. Keep in mind children are going to be excited and may move in ways you might not expect as a driver.

Take extra time to look for kids and other pedestrians at curbs and intersections.

As a driver this should go without saying, but remove distractions such as cellphones and focus on the road.

It can also be helpful as the days get shorter to turn on headlights earlier in order to better see children.

And keep in mind that from about 5:30 p.m. to about 9:30 p.m. tend to be the busiest times for trickor-treating.

Everyone making an extra effort can help ensure a safe and fun time for all.

I AM sMIlInG BECAusE...

Do you read the obituaries? I do. I could read them every day on-line but I prefer to wait and read them in the paper that I can hold. I was inspired by a book, “The Dead Beat” by Marilyn Johnson, to see each as a final biography, the “telling” of a life, written, sometimes by a profes sional, sometimes by the funeral home, sometimes by a loved one and even written by the deceased.

I feel that those who have passed deserve our attention in this one literary description of their lives.

And this week, I smiled.

I am smiling because I read Beverly’s obituary in the paper this morning. I am smiling be cause, at 100, she had lived a use ful, fulfilling, even joyous life, a life to be emulated. Beverly Bol ton was a friend, but alas, as is so often the case, as time and contact drifted, so did our friendship. Be yond the birthday (we shared the same birthday) and Christmas cards we exchanged, our contact frittered away.

Beverly Bolton was someone you listened to. I would talk with her every day when I worked at the Samaritan Center. Beverly sat at the greeter’s desk at the foot of the staircase and answered the phone for St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral. She also made deci

sions about who she would allow to enter the building. She didn’t drive because of a problem hip and mobility was a problem for her, but her strength of mind and character made her perfect for this particular job. As I said, you listened to Bev. She spoke with authority and didn’t suffer fools.

I am smiling thinking about our many conversations about our cats. I had one at the time and she had three. She was my author ity when it came to cat care. But, even more important, when I was under treatment for breast cancer and was so very sick from one of the treatments, she became my advocate, making arrangements for me to meet with a nurse prac titioner immediately.

Her resources that enabled her to help in this area were based on her many years of work at He matology Oncology Associates, where the staff and doctors held her in high esteem. Mention her name at HOA and smiles would abound. She was remembered and loved.

Wherever she went, her simple honesty and work ethic charmed people. That was and is an excep tional talent. There was one Bev erly, one way of interacting with the world and its vagaries, one based on her abiding commit

ment to her faith.

I am smiling because Beverly always accepted the many ways that people can be. While she spoke with assurance and belief, she always was aware of and ac knowledged that people came in many packages and that goodness and kindness were not the posses sion of only one group.

Bev lived, hold your breath, in the Skyline Apartments. She had lived there since it was the up scale apartment complex in Syra cuse. When I would come to pick her up for a lunch date, this wom an, 20 years my senior, would tell me to stay in my car and to keep the doors locked until she came out. She wasn’t afraid, but she was concerned for her friends.

I don’t know how she managed, but she was determined that the “riff-raff” that had taken over the once-classy address would not drive her out.

If you went to lunch with Bev at whatever variation of the old Poseidon restaurant that was op erating across the street from her home, you were treated royally. A customer of that restaurant for so many years, the entire staff knew and loved her. I don’t know of anyone who can boast of that honor.

I am smiling because Bev had

so many friends, accumulated from her years on earth, from her work life, her church affiliation and random people like me that she picked up along the way.

I am smiling because Bev was true to herself and her beliefs and set a standard for the rest of us. If there are ways to make friends in heaven, she will be making them in her own way.

I am thinking of Beverly Bol ton as I write this and wishing to give all of those who knew and loved her, the warmth that my memory of her creates. I know that the writer of her obituary did a good job, but in the final analy sis, it’s hard to capture a person’s life, their contributions … the ripples, the waves created in the lives of others around them, the little and the big things that have meaning for those left to mourn, the hole in the world left by their passing.

Still, sometimes a life can be captured in a smile.

Ann Ferro is a mother, a grand mother and a retired social studies teacher. While still figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up, she lives in Marcellus with lots of books, a spouse and a large orange cat.

Lucky local judge hits lucrative scratch-off jackpot

Town of Salina Judge Andrew Piraino stopped in at Keiffer’s Cigar Store last month to buy a few newspa pers. While there in the village, he decided to buy $10 scratch-off lottery ticket for a new game named Triple Red 777.

“It was a one-in-a-million chance,” he said last week. “I started scratching off numbers, and I matched one of the num bers. I thought, because it was a new game, I might have won a few hundred dollars. When I scratched off the prize it said JACKPOT. Unbelievable!”

Piraino won the game’s top prize of $3 million. Of course, federal and state tax authorities will take their cut, but the judge should end up with a cool million and a half clams. He expects to receive his payout in about eight

weeks.

The judge plans to spend the windfall wisely.

“I have no immediate plans other than to invest and set up a trust for my daughter and buy my wife a new car,” he said.

In the 2021 election, town voters returned Piraino to the bench for his eighth four-year term. While he’s also a lawyer in private practice, as a town judge he makes an annual salary of $46,871.

she is the only candidate cut out for the job. She understands the plight of seniors in New York. She has seen how lawmakers take us for granted and spend little to no time considering our needs.

New Yorkers have serious issues these days. Many are on fixed incomes, and with the way prices are rising in New York, people are very worried. We are looking at nearly 40% increases in home energy costs this winter, groceries are already up almost 15% from last year, and the State Legisla ture continues to spend and spend from your pocket.

It’s time for change in Albany. I have seen the good and the bad New York has to offer over the years, and I’ll tell you one thing for sure: Rebecca Shiroff is the good! She will take your voice to Albany and make sure seniors in New York aren’t ignored any longer. She will fight for safe neighborhoods and an affordable New York. Central New York will always be at the top of her priority list.

Election Day is November 8th and Early Voting starts on October 29th. If you are unable to vote in person, be sure to vote by absentee ballot. Join me in supporting Rebecca Shiroff for State Senate this year.

Virtual Celebration of hOPE silent and premier auction

The Syracuse-based nonprof it organization, Hope for Bereaved (HFB), will hold its largest annual fundraiser the first weekend of No vember. This year’s event will begin with a live virtual presentation with Syracuse’s Dan Cummings, who for years has been the host during this special evening.

This year’s theme is “Giving more for 44” commemorating Hopes ser vice to the community and beyond since 1978

Therese Schoeneck founded Hope after the death of her daughter, Mary, who died in a car accident. At the

time, Central New York did not have support grief groups available. Since then, the organization has expanded to include 12 support groups, indi vidual peer counseling and the news letter—all free of charge to anyone who seeks help.

During Celebration of Hope, HFB will recognize long-time supporters during the evening including the O’Marah Family, the event’s commu nity co-chairs. They have supported HFB for more than 20 years. They will also honor Ed and Lanie Moses, and Bob and Marcia Hunt who have raised funds for more than 25 years.

Send your events to adearborn@eaglenewsonline.com. Notices must have the date, time and location of the event. Deadline for submissions is 12 p.m. Friday. No calendar item can be guaranteed for placement in the papers, nor run for multiple weeks, unless it is a paid announcement. All free placement is on a space-available basis. Event in formation may be subject to change, so be sure to contact the event organizer to confirm the details.

From Pamela Hunter

To the editor:

Since 2015, I have had the privilege of representing my neighbors in New York’s 128th Assembly District. When I first asked for your vote seven years ago, I promised to be your voice and advocate in Albany.

Since then, I have been committed to passing legislation to strengthen and uplift Central New York communities. I am proud to have sponsored legislation such as the Driver’s License Suspension Reform Act and many other significant bills that have brought material changes to New York residents. Throughout my time in office, I have valued the support and collaboration that my constituents have generously offered. In the new term, I will continue to build on all of our ac complishments to navigate the challenges ahead.

From adding new tenant protections to improving veteran services to addressing climate change, I have listened to con stituents and have sponsored legislation

that improves the lives of New Yorkers not only here in Central New York, but throughout the state. Tenants experienc ing new disabilities, for example, have an easier time exiting a lease to access supportive housing and new standards have been enacted to improve hous ing quality. As the only woman veteran serving in the State Legislature, I have improved veteran services for all veterans while also providing input that ensures we meet the specific needs of our growing women veteran population. On climate, I worked to utilize resources we already have in place to reduce carbon emissions. When businesses apply for certain tax incentives for development, a new criteria I added through legislation is to consider how much that development will utilize green technologies and energy efficiency measures.

Direct investment is also a critical component of advocating for the 128th Assembly District. Throughout my tenure, I have secured state funding that has brought much needed improvements and jobs right here to Central New York. In consecutive budgets, I have secured record funding for our public schools

and places of higher education. SUNY EOC has received state investment and continues to be a significant resource for those looking to invest in themselves. In the Town of Salina, I secured funding to install a new sidewalk leading to Liver pool Elementary School and also secured a grant to create a dedicated teen area at the Salina Library. Additionally, I have secured significant investment for revital ization initiatives such as what is taking place in the Southwest Gateway District. I also championed the current state gas tax holiday and enacted legislation to create a property tax credit to offset mandatory flood insurance costs in Syracuse.

Going forward, I will continue to pri oritize making New York a more afford able place to live and will look for ways to decelerate the cost inflation of essential services such as utilities and childcare.

It has been an honor representing our District in the New York State Assembly and I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish, however, I understand that our work is far from over. I humbly ask for your vote this November so that to gether we can continue to ensure that our communities are places of opportunity,

progress and development.

Vote for Conole

To the editor:

I urge the residents of Central New York to send Francis Canole to the US House of Representatives. I heard Francis speak recently and I am convinced he the best person for the job. I was inspired by his passion for service. Francis was raised in Onondaga County before attending the Naval Academy and serving in the Navy. He is committed to Central New York, while his opponent does not even live in the district. Francis will fight to bring jobs to our region and will fiercely support farmers. He will protect a woman’s right to privacy and to make her own medical decisions. Francis will work with fellow representatives in Congress to invest in job training, infrastructure and clean energy. This is how to grow our local economy and prepare for the future. Francis Canole is who we need right now to represent Central New York in Congress.

Do you know anything about this picture?

By DOROThy hEllER ClAy historiAn

This week’s question: “Who lived here in his adolescence, where did he move to and what he is remem bered for?

Last week’s answer: Pictured are the six Bonsted brothers celebrat ing on the left Marvin’s 89th birthday; he lives in Baldwinsville. Continuing ,are: Charles Bonsted of Syracuse; Melvin Bon sted of Utica; James Bonsted of Cicero; Calvin Bonsted of Clay; and John Bonsted of Cicero. Marvin is the eldest and John, the youngest is 71. Their ages total 480 making their average age to be 80. They all still had a youthful outlook on life and they loved brotherly banter, telling tales on each other.

A heated debate began at the party when

a reporter questioned then on where they were born since at that time, they repre sented five different locations. One broth er, who at first was positive that he had been born in Cicero, was converted finally to an acceptence of Alexandria Bay as his birthplace. In the end, it was agreed that Marvin was born in Minden, Montgomery County; Charles in Cicero; and the other four in Alexandria Bay, Jefferson County.

The family originally included three sis ters and a seventh brother, who had died some time before. Longevity is traditional in their family. Their father, Charles, lived to be 94 and their grandfather, Peter Bun stadt, to be 99.

At Marvin’s 90th birthday celebration the next year, the same question of where they were born was asked by a reporter.

Melvin said he was from Cicero again and a heated debate began. A ballot by the five brothers indicated that he was born in Al exandria Bay! It seems. Melvin will never be convinced.

C-NS, Liverpool football win before sectionals

By PhIl BlACKWEll

With only seven teams left in the Section III Class AA football ranks, each of them would get a taste of post-season action, no matter how the regular season went.

Thus, Cicero-North Syracuse, with its 7-1 mark, would be joined by 2-5 Liverpool, with the Northstars hosting Henninger and the Warriors going to Utica Proctor this weekend in the opening round.

Before this, both would win their regularseason finales on the road, starting Friday with Liverpool seeing its five-game skid finally end at Rome Free Academy with an emphatic 4914 win over the Black Knights.

The night mostly belonged to senior run ning back Jah’Deuir Reese, who tore up RFA’s

defense to the tune of 377 yards on just 13 car ries and scored five touchdowns, most of it in a first-half showcase of speed.

Twice in the first quarter, Reese would take handoffs on the Warriors’ end of the field and end up dashing to the end zone, his scoring runs covering 56 and 65 yards.

After a third TD by Reese early in the sec ond quarter, Liverpool found itself pinned on its own seven-yard line. All that did, though, was give Reese more territory to cover as his career-long run covered 93 yards and made it 28-0.

By halftime, the Warriors had a 35-7 edge thanks to John Sindoni’s 10-yard scoring pass to Tai’yari Sholtz, but Reese would add one more highlight with a 64-yard TD dash in the

third quarter before he exited the game.

Ny’Quez Madison added a fourth-quarter score as the Warriors watched C-NS travel to Utica a day later to face Proctor, knowing its spot in second place in Class AA behind CBA was already locked up.

Perhaps that knowledge led to a so-so effort by the Northstars that put the game in doubt until a big fourth quarter produced a 42-14 vic tory over the Raiders that did not reflect the concern shown much of the way.

C-NS had jumped out in front thanks to La’Quan Lemon’s six-yard TD run in the first quarter and Jaxon Razmovski scoring from one yard out in the second period.

Proctor did not got away, though, putting together its own second-quarter drive. Keni

jaymes Johnson went three yards for the TD and also ran in for two points, cutting the Northstars’ edge to 13-8 going to halftime.

Even when Lemon struck for a 73-yard TD run (his longest run of the season) in the third quarter, the Raiders again had an answer, driv ing to the Northstars’ five before Todd Abra ham found Trevon Anderson in the end zone.

It went to the final period 21-14, Proctor knowing that one defensive stop could make things far more stressful, but never able to get it.

Lemon’s third TD, on a two-yard plunge, began a getaway that continued minutes later when Razmovski hit Nate Williams on an 18yard scoring pass. Anthony Johnson added a 19-yard TD in the final stages.

Charles-86, Arvin-90, and Calvin-76 Cel ebrated Melvin’s 84th bitthday. James and John were unable to attend but there ages totaled 155 to make a grand total over 500 divided by six, still makes an average over 80. James and John were missing because of rush work on their farms. Melvin is also a farmer in Clay at this point. Charles who’s son is a Syracuse attorney and Cal vin who operates a hotel in Clay were farmers. Besides all being farmers, they were all Masons.

Even though it was Melvin’s birthday, Marvin, being the eldest presided over the diner and controlled the good-natured bantering. Leaning back leisurely in a stiff-backed chair, Marvin revealed he was smoking his first cigar! Calvin jibed, “and

the first thing you know, you’ll be taking to cocktails and cigarettes.” After a good laugh they decided to go for a walk and pose for a few snap shots by the reporter. When they returned, out came the “shoes.” After a few games of horseshoes, Marvin admitted the cigar was getting to him. Cal vin offered to get him some “liquor”. Mar vin told him he was old enough to get it himself. The banter ended the day with a toast at the bar at the Evergreens of Three Rivers.

Charles Bonsted who passed at the age of 95 in 1945 is of interest to Clay. Although his final notice says he was born in Cicero, he was born in Alexandria Bay. But, he spent several years in Cicero as a carpenter building farm and village homes. He then started and operated for six years the old Cicero horse-drawn stage coach line which ran daily on the Plank Road from Cicero

with passengers and orders for goods in Syracuse in the morning and returned at night with passengers and filled orders. Next he worked for the water department in Syracuse.

Calvin passed away at 85 on April 9-45 in Clay where he spent most of his life. He operated a hotel for many years and was widely know in Onondaga County as a host to travelers and neighbors. His funeral service was conducted by the Rev. John Kisselburgh.

James Bonsted died on 5-27-54 in Central Square and was the last of the six brothers. .He operated a farm in the town of Cicero for 80 years. As a member of the Cicero Methodist church, he was also a member of the Brewerton Masonic Lodge. Funeral services were conducted at the Sears Funeral Home, the Rev. Earl VanScoy officiating.

Marvin was 99 when he passed away. His last birthday celebration was his 95th on May 19, 1944. Charles-90, James-87, and Calvin-80 attended with their families.

Melvin of Utica and John of Cicero were deceased by then. Marvin remembered going to campaign meetings for Abraham Lincoln as a small boy, and recalled the worry of the nation about Lincoln’s abili ties as president. As a staunch Republi can, he had cast his first vote for Ulysses S. Grant, but didn’t know who to vote for in1944. Marvin and his 87 year old wife lived alone in their small house. Their only son. DeForrest Bonsted, was an attor ney in Tacoma, Washington. At 95, Mar vin said, “I haven’t felt better in two years” as he began his birthday party.

Liverpool girls soccer joins C-NS in AA semifinals

By PhIl BlACKWEll

Every Liverpool and Cice ro-North Syracuse girls soc cer fan can easily recall how, in 2021, the Warriors rose up and stunned the undefeated Northstars in the Section III Class AA semifinals.

That can’t happen this time, since the two rivals found themselves on oppo site ends of the 2022 sectional bracket and could only meet in the Nov. 1 championship match.

However, two things are the same from a year ago –C-NS has a bye straight into the semifinals, this time as the no. 2 seed, while Liver pool, as the no. 4 seed, will need to upend a top seed in order to reach the finals.

Of course, the Warriors first had to get past last Fri day’s opening-round match against no. 5 seed Rome Free Academy, and getting a pair of early goals, Liver pool knocked out the Black Knights 2-0.

From a scoring and com petitive nature, the game was not as lopsided as the 4-0 deci

sion Liverpool earned at RFA Stadium in early September.

Still, it took less than 17 minutes to establish the win ning margin. Just before the nine-minute mark, Alexa Marsh’s sharp pass freed up Grace Muller to run up the middle and push a low shot past Black Knights goalkeep er Miranda McCormick.

Before RFA could settle

down, it turned the ball over deep in its own end, freeing Ciarra Fox to take a pass from Marsh and put home the sec ond goal.

To her credit McCormick stopped everything else, fin ishing with nine saves, and the Black Knights would threaten from time to time against an otherwise stellar Warriors defense.

By far, the best chance for RFA came in the 52nd minute, when a free kick left an open header that Amelia Furbeck guided just over the net.

Handling it the rest of the way, the Warirors advanced to Wednesday’s sectional semifinal against no. 1 seed West Genesee, with whom it

Liverpool, C-NS girls volleyball take defeats

By PhIl BlACKWEll

Right before they announced the pairings for the Section III Class AA playoffs, the Liverpool and CiceroNorth Syracuse girls volleyball teams would face one another at the LHS gymnasium.

Having swept the first meeting Sept. 28, the Warriors carried confi dence into the rematch, along with a string of recent victories.

A big match last Friday against reigning sectional champion Fay etteville-Manlius had Liverpool’s

Before this, Liverpool swept Henninger 25-8, 25-13, 25-14 last Tuesday night, with Mya Vallat leading the way as she picked up six of the Warriors’ 25 aces.

Lola Sageer, Lauren Poland and Eliana Vangelov had four aces apiece, Poland and Vangelov each adding three kills to match Madison Ames, one behind Sophie Sageer’s four kills. Addie Tanton finished with seven assists.

As for C-NS, it routed Notting

ham 25-7, 25-9, 25-9 last Tuesday night, with six aces from Elle Blum er and five aces from Carly Overend.

Maddy Howell got five kills, with Karley Eymer adding four kills as Marissa Baker earned eight assists and three aces.

But when the Northstars faced unbeaten Baldwinsville on Thurs day night, the Bees, still remember ing its loss to C-NS in the 2021 sec tional semifinals, dominated to the tune of a 25-14, 25-9, 25-9 sweep.

Howell had four kills, with Eymer picking up three kills. Baker had five assists as, for B’ville, Kyrah Wilbur had nine kills, Madison MacKaig got 18 assists and Mada lyn Diep earned four aces, plus six digs.

Liverpool had its own challeng ing match against Fayetteville-Man lius on Friday, looking to avenge a four-set defeat to the Hornets late in September.

After dropping the first two sets 25-23 and 25-17, the Warriors ral lied, taking the third 25-17 and then

pulling out the fourth in another 25-23 decision.

However, F-M dominated the final-set race to 15 points, winning 15-5 to negate 14 kills from both So phia and Lola Sageer, the latter of whom added six blocks, seven digs and three assists.

Tanton got 24 assists, with Ames adding four kills and nine digs as Allyson Crandall earned 10 assists. Vangelov and Kyle Walker had eight digs apiece, with Lauren Ragonese and Eliana Page both getting six digs.

F-M got 55 assists from Zoe My int, who evenly spread it around as Kalyna Dannenberg finished with 18 kills, while Rebekah Beasley and Kaylene Nobel each finished with 17 kills.

Liverpool turned around on Sat urday and, in a non-league match against Jamesville-DeWitt, swept the Red Rams 25-22, 25-18, 2512, improving its overall record to 12-4.

C-NS boys volleyball tops Liverpool again

By PhIl BlACKWEll

Everyone on the Cicero-North Syracuse boys volleyball team is aware that, in 2021, its regular-season wins over Liverpool were turned around when the Warriors beat the Northstars in the Section III final.

So no one on C-NS is feeling con tent right now, even though it again finished off a regular-season sweep of Liverpool last Monday night in a tough four-set battle.

When they met on Sept. 20, it was a sweep, the host Northstars facing little stress. Now, at Liverpool, each of the first two sets were controlled by the visitors as C-NS won them by equal 25-17 margins.

Instead of going away, though, the Warriors were able to snare the third set 25-21, a rare instance of a Section III team able to get a set from C-NS at

any point this fall.

This didn’t sit well with the North stars, who by a 25-11 margin closed it out in the fourth led by Jack Waite, who dished out 42 assists and added five digs.

Joe Seliger put together 12 kills, five aces and six digs. Andrew George and Reece Congel had nine kills apiece, with Peter Gill earning eight kills. Josh Luce had nine digs as he, along with Nick Bisesi, got a pair of aces.

On Liverpool’s side, Anthony Pezzino finished with 16 kills and 18 digs, adding two aces and two blocks.

Shah Sahak had 15 digs as Jack De Forge had 18 assists, six blocks, five digs and three kills. Sean Frawley also had four kills.

Back in action two nights later, Liverpool lost the first set to Syra cuse City 25-20, but then took the

next three sets 25-21, 25-19 and 25-17 to win the match.

Pezzino was a one-man show at the net, putting away a career-best 30 kills to go with four blocks, four aces and 11 digs.

DeForge fed Pezzino with 29 as sists, adding six kills and seven blocks, with Frawley and Aiden Hunter both getting three kills. Sahak worked on defense, earning 22 digs.

C-NS, meanwhile, took on Central Square Friday night and kept its mo mentum going with a 25-11, 25-18, 25-17 sweep of the Redhawks.

Seliger put up six aces to go with his nine kills. Gill earned seven kills, with Congel and George again match ing one another, this time with six kills, and Carter King earning four kills as Waite got 26 assists.

Liverpool field hockey falls in sectionals to F-M

By PhIl BlACKWEll

As it turned out, the Liverpool field hockey team’s 2022 season peaked when it knocked CiceroNorth Syracuse from the unbeaten ranks on Oct. 12.

Having worked so hard just to qualify for the Section III Class A playoffs, the Warriors could not rep licate that magic in last Wednesday’s opening-round game at FayettevilleManlius, falling 3-0 to the Hornets.

In a six-team sectional bracket, C-NS still held the top seed despite

its late-season losses to Liverpool and Canastota, but the Northstars had to be concerned.

This was because Liverpool en tered as the no. 5 seed and, armed with the momentum of a 4-1 finish to the regular season, tried to turn around its luck against no. 4 seed F-M.

But the Hornets were well-pre pared, carrying over what had hap pened in mid-September when, four days apart, it recorded 1-0 and 2-0 shutouts of the Warriors.

On the attack most of the way, F-M went out in front and stayed there led

by Ella Herber, who notched two of her team’s goals. Carlye Bryant had the other goal, with Carine Smith get ting an assist.

Stopping everything else, Liv erpool goalie Lana Webber had six saves, but a solid Hornets defense contained the Warriors and held it to three shots, all stopped by Kaleigh Hamilton.

So in Sunday’s sectional semifinal at VVS it would be C-NS against F-M, the winner advancing to the title game exactly one week later against Rome Free Academy or Baldwinsville.

Meanwhile, C-NS will host no. 3 seed and defending champion Fayetteville-Man

C-NS soccer advances; Liverpool season ends

By PhIl BlACKWEll

From opposite sides of the Section III Class AA play off bracket, the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool boys soccer teams were both determined to find their way to the championship round, but it wouldn’t be easy.

Each side had to navigate quarterfinal games against tough league foes they had faced twice in the regular sea son, with the no. 4 seed Northstars going first against Baldwinsville and the no. 3 seed Warriors following two nights later when it faced West Genesee.

C-NS took the first turn and, mostly powered by its strong defense, turned back B’ville 1-0 last Wednesday night at Bragman Stadium.

Both of the Northstars’ regular-season meetings with the Bees were also shutouts, so any goal, early or late, was expected to be valuable.

Perhaps that was why B’ville’s leading scorer, Evan Smith, expressed furstration when, in the game’s open ing minutes when he had an open header – but put it just over the net.

That loomed even larger when, in the 13th minute, C-NS earned a free kick on the left side. Goalkeeper Wyatt Dupell lobbed it to the middle, where the ball bounced around until Sean Graves, from the right side, kicked it past Nick Hollingshead to put the Northstars in front.

As the half wore on, C-NS put on heavy pressure to add to it lead, requiring B’ville’s defense to work hard to keep the margin at a single goal.

There, and for much of the second half, C-NS’s back line, led by Adam Bonnier, Zack Scott, Aaron Huskic and Jacob Dietter, formed a formidable well that rarely allowed the Bees to get anything close.

Still, there were scares, from a Miles Spiegel header that went just over the net to a much bigger chance with 6:10 to play.

B’ville earned a free kick on the left side. Ben Ramin’s ball lobbed to the top center of the net and Dupell, hav ing to time his leap perfectly, did so enough to deflect the ball off the crossbar, with the Bees unable to corral a rebound and not get as close again the rest of the way.

Then it was Liverpool’s turn, as it hoped to avenge two 1-0 defeats to West Genesee in the regular season, but could not do so and, instead, saw its season end in a painful manner.

Eighty minutes of regulation and 30 minutes of over time elapsed without either side finding the net, the third straight time the Warriors had got shut out by the Wildcats.

Liverpool spent long stretches of the first half camped in WG’s end, yet could not get out in front, the tension building as the long night wore on.

The Wildcats did have chances, too, including a sec ond-half free kick by Jadin Lyle that the Warriors’ fresh man goalie, Jacob McQuatters, dove to stop.

The defense only tightened on both ends in the pair of OT periods, and with the game ending 0-0, it would take a shootout to decide who would advance to the sec tional semifinals.

Both teams scored in the first round, Antonio Wil son doing so for Liverpool. Then WG goalie Anthony Augello stopped Lucas Smith in the second round and Anthony Pontello converted, putting the Wildcats front 2-1.

Christian Hope scored for Liverpool in the third round. Then McQuatters stopped Tyler Wavercak, and it was tied again, 2-2. Each side then made their fourth shots.

Now, in the final round, Warriors senior Edis Omerovic took his turn, and shot to the left - where Au gello dove to make the stop right at the post

WG’s Casey Scharoun now made the slow walk from midfield to the spot. The midfielder wasted little time as the whistle blew, firing right as McQuatters dove left, into an open net, ending Liverpool’s season.
