Garden Club to present Christmas Walk fundraiser

By kAtE Hill Staff Writer

On Friday, Dec. 2, the Cazen ovia Garden Club (CGC) will hold a fundraiser sale during the annu al Cazenovia Christmas Walk.

For over 70 years, the CGC has worked — often behind the scenes — to beautify the commu nity and bring together people with mutual interests in home gardens and civic improvement.

During this year’s Christmas Walk, CGC members will be sell ing festive small table arrange ments as well as mug-sized ar rangements suitable as presents for teachers or hostess gifts.

The members will create the arrangements during a Dec. 1 workshop using a combination of natural greenery such as fir, juniper, cedar, pine, hemlock, boxwood and balsam, and other decorative materials, such as sea sonal ribbon, faux berries, dried seed pods, and pinecones.

The club will set up the sale on Albany Street prior to the tree lighting to allow passersby to make purchases both before and during the Christmas Walk.

“We hope to make a profit of $1,000 to $1,500, which is not earmarked for a specific project but [will be] added to the gen eral funding for all projects,” said

CGC President Glenda Pugh.

The sale is being organized by CGC Fundraising Committee members Bonnie McCabe, Cath erine Mcdonough, Mimi Weber, Phyllis Lawrenz and Pat Hill.

CGC is a non-profit organiza tion that is a member of both the VI District of the Federated Gar den Clubs of New York State, Inc. and the Central Atlantic Region of National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Founded in 1949 and feder ated in 1960, the club aims to stimulate interest in horticulture, develop skills in the beautifica tion of home and community,

On Saturday, Nov. 5, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, the Cazenovia Public Li brary & Museum (CPL) will hold a family event in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the discov ery of King Tut.

Children and their par ents are invited to the Ref erence/Museum Room to learn about the famed pha raoh, get creative, and con nect with CPL’s impressive collection of ancient Egyp tian artifacts.

During the free-form event, participants will have the opportunity to decorate a pharaoh’s head dress, create large collarstyle necklaces reminiscent of those worn by wealthy Egyptians, use hieroglyph ic stamps, make amulets and a folded pyramid, and get ancient Egyptianthemed temporary tattoos.

The activities are geared toward children ages 8-12, but families are invited to participate together.

While working on their projects, participants can step into the library’s Egyptian Room to get in spired or make compari sons between King Tut and CPL’s own Egyptian

mummy.

Youth Services Coor dinator Jenna WrightMartin, Museum Educa tor Julia Shotzberger, and Debora Millson, CPL’s new youth services assis tant and assistant museum educator, will be on hand to answer questions and provide information.

According to National Geographic, King Tut ankhamen — commonly referred to as King Tut today — was born around 1341 B.C.E. and ascended to power when he was just eight or nine years old. The “boy king” ruled for

Cazenovia Forum welcomes Mark Golden

For more than 40 years, Mark Golden, CEO and co-founder of Golden Artist Colors, has been working in a business that cares about its employees and its community. But can capitalism itself be caring?

Golden will try to an swer that question in a program presented Nov. 11 by the Cazenovia Fo rum and the Madden School of Business at Le Moyne College.

Golden began the company in 1980 with his wife, his father, his moth er and four employees. Originating in a cow barn on his parents’ retire ment home in Columbus, N.Y., the company made and delivered custom paint colors for artists in Manhattan. In 2021, the company became 100% employee owned and now sells its products in more

than 60 countries.

“We have tried to cre ate an environment where people can thrive,” Gold en said. “As a result, the company has flourished. We are so grateful for all the support and dedica tion shown by employees over the years, and be coming employee owned allows us to close the fi nal loop for our staff. Not only will our employees act and feel like owners, but they will become true owners as well.”

In discussing the fu ture of capitalism, Golden cites Adam Smith’s meta phor of the “invisible hand” that governs eco nomic actions and leads to the benefit of all.

“Smith said the econ omy works best when left alone without gov ernment intervention,” Golden says. “But with out government inter

vention, capitalism runs amuck.”

Instead, Golden sees a different “invisible hand,” one he hopes will change the direction of capitalism from one of profit for the few to a cap italism that benefits all involved, including the environment.

Often called “stake holder capitalism,” the idea is that everyone, not just shareholders and ex ecutives, should share in the profits.

Golden thinks that the big corporations are beginning “to see the light” and will eventually change to become more stakeholder driven. May be not right away, he says, but eventually.

“The arc of time is long,” he says.

Golden will be intro duced by Cazenovia resi dent Jim Joseph, dean

It also provides and maintains annual plant ings in hanging baskets on lampposts, in sidewalk planters, and in window boxes throughout the village.

Additionally, the organization funds an annual scholarship for a Cazenovia High School senior to study horticulture, do nates pantry items at monthly meetings to CazCares, coordinates the spring cleanup and mowing of the NYS parking area at the south end of Cazenovia Lake, sup

ports the Cazenovia Tree Commission, and plants and maintains gardens at the Cazen ovia Public Library, the Veterans Baseball Field, and the Village Fountain.

On Sept. 15, 2022, club members plant ed 200-plus daffodil bulbs at the southeast end of the lake, plus additional bulbs at the fountain and under the sign at Lakeland Park.

All the plants, planters, hanging baskets, wreaths, garlands, and bows used in CGC projects are paid for by the club itself.

Throughout the years, CGC initiatives have been funded by the club’s annual spring and holiday plant sales.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club was forced to cancel its 2020 spring sale as well as its 2020 and 2021 holiday sales.

The CGC’s fundraising challenges have been compounded by increasing costs from suppliers and competition from “big box” retailers, both of which have resulted in reduced profits from the annual sales.

The club’s most recent fundraiser was a perennial-only sale at the Cazenovia Farm ers’ Market on June 4, 2022.

“We are delighted to help kick off the holiday season with our Christmas Walk sale on Dec. 2,” said Hill. “We look for ward to interacting with the community and being part of such a festive Cazenovia tradition.”

Tax-deductible donations to the club can be mailed to the Cazenovia Garden Club, P.O. Box 54, Cazenovia, NY 13035.

Oh,deer

According to AAA, their re search has shown that October, November and December tend to be the peak months for crashes involving animals, particularly deer in Central New York.

There were 34,064 animalrelated crashes statewide in 2021 – up slightly from 2020 - that’s equivalent to one animal-related crash every 16 minutes, AAA said.

Of the 34,064 crashes, there were 1,515 injury animal-related crashes and five fatal crashes.

Of crashes AAA reports 972 alone were in the Onondaga County area.

AAA always encourages drivers to stay vigilant behind the wheel, but notes that this time of year it is increasingly important in the interest of avoiding a poten tial crash with a deer or other wildlife.

It is also noted that as the seasons change and the hours of daylight diminish it can be even more difficult to spot wildlife in the roads particularly later in the day.

According to AAA this season is a particularly active time for deer as it is the height of mating season.

But AAA has offered some sug gestions to help drivers mitigate the chances of having an encoun ter with a deer.

These crashes can be costly in terms of vehicle repairs, but also in terms of personal injury to drivers as well as passengers.

In the interest of safety there are some things drivers should keep in mind this time of year.

Drivers should always be vigilant when behind the wheel, avoiding distractions like cell phones and keeping focus on the road.

When it comes to deer and other animals it is recommended that drivers scan the shoulders of the road as deer may dash out from the shoulder or wooded ar eas adjacent to the road and keep in mind that they often travel in herds.

Drivers should also follow the speed limit. Lower speed will give you more time to respond to un expected wildlife movements.

Unfortunately, even for the most vigilant of drivers some times accidents with wildlife are unavoidable.

If a collision is unavoidable, apply the brakes firmly and remain in your lane. Swerving sharply to avoid an animal can often cause a more serious crash.

Deer can be hard to see, par ticularly at certain times of day as they often blend in with trees and foliage.

And at night, when our vision is already more limited and there are the lights from other vehicles coming toward us and behind us, it can be even more difficult to see a deer or other animal dash ing across the road.

According to AAA, motorists should be especially vigilant while driving in the dark as deer crashes often occur outside day light hours.

Most crashes occur in the two hours before sunrise and after sunset each day, according to AAA and crashes are common around dusk from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Deer and other wildlife are part of life in Central New York and by taking some steps to be diligent when we are on the road we can do our best to keep them and ourselves safe from vehicle accidents.

Sneaking into my home... and heart

Her lineage is un known, but her intel ligence, at least when it comes to escaping all efforts at being trapped, is legendary among several of us who live on First Street who have been the recipients of her gifts of kittens. Mama, as she is known, has left us with four kittens at various time over the past two years. She gives birth under my neighbor’s deck and then when it’s time to wean her babies, she trots them over to our cat door and deposits them, on the apex of kitten adorableness, in our family room. The result is that we have eight cats. We had four that we acknowledged as ours. The last four are interlopers who have become a special variety of cat that isn’t too feral to ask for cheese, but is just undomesticated enough to run away if there isn’t food involved. We are stymied when it comes to knowing what to do with those last four cats.

And so it was that, two months ago, this feral princess gave birth in my son’s closet. Five all-black kittens, which she guarded with the feroc ity of motherhood and the guile of a cat. She moved them several time, each time within the house. The last time was to a spot under a window in the family room, easily visible to the human occupants. We moved them then to our powder room where we left the door open but added a fence to keep them safe. Mama did not like our choice, urging her offspring to join her with that feline motherhood sibilant sound, a combination of tiny bells and purrs.

She would come to the barrier, call ing to her babies to follow her, which was impossible for them. She refused

It was interesting to read the article in last week’s Eagle Bulletin about am bulance services in the village and town of Manlius and adjacent communities.

The mayor and chief of Manlius Fire Department are to be commended for standing up to publicly acknowledge this serious issue. However, it is important to also recognize that while the article and the focus of their concerns was about ambulance and emergency medical ser vices, the same issues also apply to fire rescue services in the greater community as they do for emergency services in the majority of New York State and the nation.

In fire departments that provide EMS service those demands generally repre sent 70 to 90 percent of the call volume

to join them inside, most probably because of her fear of entrapment. So, it became our job to allow the babies to follow mom to her choice of nursery on the red rug in front of the door in the living room. We were kept busy at this task for six weeks.

We began to notice that one of the litter was smaller than the others. We just assumed it was the runt and fig ured that he or she would catch up to his or her littermates at time went by. That didn’t happen. Then the little kitten didn’t even respond to his or her mother’s calls. He was lethargic. Skin and bones and no affect. He wouldn’t even lift his head when Mama cat called. What was wrong?

Google offered a dire description of something called Fading Kitten syndrome. The only suggestion was to supplement the sick baby’s diet with formula. We bought kitten milk dry formula and tiny little bottles with tiny little nipples to feed the tiny one. The kitten refused any ministrations with emphatic, nerve wreaking cries.

I called the vet late on a Wednesday to make an appointment for the next day. After listening to my descrip tion of the kitten, the doctor told me to come right over. Dr. Linda Hunter stayed after hours to examine this little guy … a boy … who was diagnosed with severe dehydration and anemia, the latter caused by fleas inherited from his mother. Dr. Hunter and the staff rehydrated him, washed away the fleas with Dawn and fed the kitten before giving him back to me with handwritten instructions for his care, along with some premade formula, tiny syringes and prayers that he would

but the demand for fire rescue services in just as important for the protection of lives and property and today’s staffing issues are the same for both types of service and they must be addressed as a single issue if improvements are to be made that result in effective efficient and safe emergency service delivery. Repeated studies have shown that both lifesaving actions of EMS and Fire extinguishment must begin within 10 minutes to save lives and property and yet that time is all to often not realistic in todays response model.

Today many communities are staffing “fly cars” with a single trained EMT, Paramedic, to assure that EMS service can begin within that 10 minute window. Fire Companies like Manlius and Fay etteville both have policies and practices that provide on duty staffing with both volunteers and career members in their stations as do commercial ambulance

survive. His chances of survival?

About 5%.

The kitten had to be kept warm in order to eat. So, for three days, I fed this sweet little fellow drop by drop.

On the first day he took maybe two tablespoons, on the second, about a quarter of a cup. I held him on my chest and stroked his fur for hours, whispered maternal love songs to him and laid him down with a hot water bottle to sleep. On the third day he took about a half a cup and ate some cat food.

In the meantime, we washed all of his siblings with Dawn, figuring if he was infested, so were they. And yes, we did was everything else, including their cat bed.

Today he scarfed down a good amount of cat food, drank water and began to play with his siblings.

Tomorrow all are scheduled to be taken to Friends Forever. I am torn. I have too many cats now, but this little sweetheart has gotten to me. After all, he is still so small and relatively frag ile. Is it time for him to leave? Does he need more time to gather weight and strength? What argument can I use to either keep him or take him to the rescue?

Meanwhile we have brought the trap up from the cellar in hopes of out foxing our maternal lady cat tonight so that Dr. Hunter can minister to Mama to prevent more additions to our cat population.

Ask me next week what transpiredfun! Sure…

companies and some volunteer ambu lance companies.

However statewide it is the very basic organizational structure of local fire res cue and EMS organizations that stand in the way of fixing the growing problems of proper staffing, training and response. The vast majority of fire rescue and EMS agencies operate in a system from the early 1900’s that is not cost effective for taxpayers or efficient for emergency response. New York State does have legal organizational structures that could improve the antiquated organizational structures and improve service delivery. However, needed changes cannot take place until community and agency lead ers overcome their fear and resistance to change.

Students explore Cazenovia’s Fugitive Slave Law Conven tion, lead local history tours

This year, Cazenovia High School’s Advanced Placement (AP) English Language classes took a deep dive into the topic of local history and abolition as they honed their skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking — the four Eng lish language arts standards.

The unit on Cazen ovia’s pivotal role in the Fugi tive Slave Law Convention of 1850 that was held locally has been in development since COVID hit Cazenovia Central School District in the spring of 2020.

As AP English classes tried to cope with the constraints of the pandemic by finding cre ative avenues to learning, the students began the unit study ing Caz’s history and involve ment in abolition.

Along the way, classes have read and studied Frederick Douglass’s first Narrative, traveled to the Gerrit Smith Estate in Peterboro to hear abolition expert Norm Dann

and Peterboro resident and activist Jimmy Corpin speak about Gerrit Smith, toured the village with Cazenovia Public Library Assistant Director/ Archives Coordinator Elisha Davies to learn about impor tant sites related to the Caz Convention, learned in class about famous abolitionists and concepts in abolition, and invented ways to redesign the current Fugitive Slave Law Convention monument on Sullivan Street and reimagine the space it is in.

This year, classes were challenged to research one aspect of the convention — a person, a place, a concept, or an idea — and then synthe size these research papers into a community tour that would be offered to interested par ticipants.

Along the way, stu dents honed their skills in research, note-taking, citing, effective outlining, and expos itory writing with a rhetorical

Tours were given last week, and audience members included Madison County Historian Matt Urtz, County Clerk Michael Keville, par ents, community members, and members of the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum.

The unit dovetails per fectly with the history depart

ment’s study of the young United States of America that takes place in the fall, gives students the opportunity to study rhetoric and argument in a manner that emphasizes the practical application of it, stresses the importance of modern-day philanthropy and activism, and encourages engagement in local history.

Ramblings from the empty nest Ann Ferro

FROM THE MAILBAG

An expanded Dance?

Picture it – we’re in mid-March. All the preliminaries and prognostications and bracket questions are out of the away. It’s time to start another NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Random Thoughts Phil Blackwell

With 80 teams in it. Or 96 teams. Or some other number larger than the 68 currently used.

Haven’t thrown up yet? Haven’t lifted your face to the heavens, wondering how greedy college presidents, power conferences and TV executives can get?

Good, because it might happen, against the wishes of most of the people who follow this sport and cherish its unique rhythms and quirks.

Already some big names in college sports, such as SEC com missioner Greg Sankey, have openly mused about expanding the Dance beyond its current field, good news for beleaguered coaches whose employment largely depends on whether they get into the tournament.

Naturally, fans and followers are repulsed. Since 1985, when a 64-team field assured that anyone who won it all would have to win six games over three weekends, they have reveled in the unique nature of this beast, where powers and dreamers mingle and the less predictable, the better.

There’s lot of merit to it. Try to find two sports days better than the round of 64, when 32 games take place in eight locales from coast to coast and, sometimes, UMBC beats Virginia, or Saint Pe ter’s upends Kentucky. Never mind all the millions of brackets put up by experts and amateurs alike.

Why dare mess with it? Why risk diluting the sheer magic of March?

Cynics always have the same answer – the lure of TV riches. Of course, it’d hard to get richer than $1.1 billion per year until 2032, which is what CBS and Turner Sports have forked over, but you figure there’s always a market for more games – and more rev enue.

Mostly, they have a point. No one really asked for 17 NFL games in a regular season or 14 teams in the playoffs, yet here we are, lap ping it up, even those Thursday-night games on Amazon Prime that, well, might not be of the best quality.

Of course we’ll lap up an expanded NCAA Tournament, right? Well, only under certain conditions.

If this were simply adding teams to the field and sticking all the champions of the smaller conferences into the early rounds to get rid of them, then it really would ruin much of what makes the tournament special.

Thus, the only idea that’s even tolerable is to protect all the conference champions, large and small alike.

As it stands right now, there are 32 conferences in NCAA Divi sion I. If the leaders of those conferences had any brains (don’t be so sure), they’d stay at that number, for this reason.

If they all insist on maintaining those money-churning confer ence tournaments, make the stakes quite high – namely, the win ners of them take the 32 protected spots in the tournament field.

Yes, that would leave up to, say, 64 at-large teams, and true, they would mostly be filled by the power conferences. That’s only toler able if every one of them is subjected to a single-elimination game to join the conference champions.

Upon further thought……this sounds real fun.

Basically this adds an entire two days of elimination excitement (sorry, not using the copyrighted term) featuring most of the coun try’s best-known programs. Guaranteed ratings gold to see, say, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Michigan, UCLA and others all putting their seasons on the line.

And then we get to do it all again the following weekend with something close to the number of at-larges that make the field right now. Proceed from there to April, a Final Four, a trophy and sheared nets.

Absolutely any other proposal is based less on drama and more on covering the collective backsides of the powerful. Far too much of sports and society already does this.

Change is most constructive when the parties involved think beyond their own best interests. The fear is that those most heav ily backing NCAA tournament expansion are not that far-sighted.

Done wrong, this could further erode the shaky foundation of popularity a sport dependent on a single event already sits upon. But done right? Then it could show everyone that a bigger Dance means more beautiful music.

Years Ago in History

By CinDy BEll toBEy

140 Years Ago – Nov. 2, 1882

The question as to whether the tolls shall be removed from the state canals and their navigation made absolutely free, is to be submitted to the electors of this state at the coming election. This is to be done through a Constitutional amendment, the effect of which abolishes all tolls upon every kind of tonnage transported upon the canals. It is a noteworthy fact that seven eighths of all the freight transported upon the Erie Canal comes from the western states, seek ing a market in the city of New York, or an outlet through that port to foreign markets. Hence by cheapening transportation of western produce the western farmer is brought more directly into competition with New York State farmers, and by reason of this cheap water transportation and his cheap land the former can lay his produce in the New York market at greatly reduced prices from what we in York can.

120 Years Ago – Oct. 30, 1902

The Presbyterian ladies are rapidly getting their stock of goods in shape to present to the public. Now that the coal strike is off hope has revived, and people are again thinking of something to wear. Everything from an apron to an evening gown can be found at this sale. Watch for it! Nothing reserved: first come first served. Childrens’ clothing a specialty. Save your money – a little will go a great ways on the bargain days in garments old and new. Your needs anticipated in the line of Christmas gifts at the “Christmas table.” The handkerchief table will sur prise you; the kitchen table will supply you. The ladies will sweeten you at their candy pagoda. The greatest bargains will be found at the miscellaneous table.

100 Years Ago – Oct. 31, 1922

Five names of prominent Cazenovians appear in the seventh edition, recently issued, of “Who’s Who in America.” The names are: Susan E. Blow, kindergart ner; Charles Stebbins Fairchild, ex-secretary of the treasury; Charles Eben Fox, naval officer; Charles Drake Skinner, Seminary president; and Dwight Williams, artist. “Who’s Who in America” is a book issued biennially and contains over 18,000 names and a biographical directory of notable young men and women in this country.

90 Years Ago – Nov. 3, 1932

Regular evening monthly meetings have been inaugurated at Cazenovia Central High School with the first program held recently in the auditorium of the build ing attended by 36 teachers in the system and featuring the problem of supervised study. The November meeting is already scheduled for the 21st and the program is in preparation. At the October meeting three members of the faculty group contributed 15 minutes papers on various phases of supervised study applicable to the local system. The first speaker was Miss Margaret Durkin, who cited the “Benefits to be Derived from a Program of Supervised Study.” She covered the ground painstakingly from the standpoint of pupil, home, school and teacher, proving in every instance the superiority of the method. The second speaker was Miss Bessie Lapedes, who covered the subject, “How Supervised Study May Best Be Accomplished,” listing in detail eight possible methods of practical merit for the Cazenovia schools. The last teacher on the evening program was Walter Moon who explained “The Changes Necessary to Put Supervised Study into Operation.”Based on his mathematical analysis of the present school day, which begins at 9 a. m. and dismisses at 3:29 with a noon period of 67 minutes, he proposed a tentative plan whereby periods could be lengthened from 40 to 45 or 50 minutes each and by eliminating one of the eight periods dismiss at practically the same hour as at present.

As a nurturer, Nancy took in children from New York City, Ireland and visitors from Italy and Finland were all welcomed. They continued to correspond with her for many years.

Cazenovia football tops VVS in playoff opener

By PHil BlACkWEll

All that eight consecu tive wins and a spot near the top of the state Class C rankings did for the Ca zenovia football team was set up an imposing test with a berth in the Section III finals on the line.

It will pit the 8-0, state no. 2-ranked Lak ers against 7-1 General Brown, who has averaged

more than 52 points in its seven victories and whose lone defeat came 30-27 to Adirondack, who meets Holland Patent in the oth er semifinal..

Cazenovia’s eighth straight win was earned at home last Saturday when it took on Vernon-VeronaSherrill and did all of the damage in the early going to help put away the Red Devils 36-19.

The only reason the margin ended up there was because the Lakers, who built a 30-0 advantage by halftime, rested its start ers in the fourth quarter, when VVS notched all of its points.

Prior to that, it was yet another fine all-around ef fort by Cazenovia that, in the first quarter, featured one drive – and one score, J.P. Hoak going 34 yards to

Jack Byrnes for the touch down.

That 6-0 margin grew during a second-quarter barrage of big plays, start ing with Hoak, from his own 34, throwing deep and finding a wide-open Christian Schug, the TD covering 66 yards as Jack Donlin added a two-point run.

Schug finished with 184 yards on seven catch es, with all of Byrnes’ 104 yards coming from those three TD completions.

Also starring on de fense, Byrnes recorded a team-best eight tack les plus three assists. Jed Olkowski chimed in with four tackles as Brad Ga gnon assisted on six tack les.

The discovery received worldwide press coverage and sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt.

“[It] took the world by storm,” said Shotzberger. “Reporters camped outside the tomb waiting for glimpses of the treasures as they were slowly and care fully brought out into the light.

In 1894, nearly three decades prior to the discovery of King Tut, CPL bene factor Robert James Hubbard traveled extensively in Egypt and purchased his own collection of ancient Egyptian arti facts, including a complete mummy and its case, several masks, breastplates, san dals, ushabtis (figurines), and scarabs.

He acquired the material during a nine-month Grand Tour with his son with the intention of creating a museum upstairs in the original CPL building.

PGA provides hope for veterans…

As many of us already know, Veteran suicide is a major issue in the Veteran communities. e statistics are not acceptable. ey show that 22 Veterans commit suicide…every day…365 days per year, resulting in 8,030 Veteran deaths per year. In 2019 the PGA of America initiated a program to hopefully change this statistic by using the game of golf as a form of therapy.

at year, PGA HOPE impacted just over 2,500 veterans nationwide using the skills of approximately 350 PGA Professionals from around the country. Today, there are currently 162 PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) programs across the United States that are hosted by 38 PGA Sections.

e purpose of the PGA HOPE program is to introduce golf to Veterans with disabilities to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well being. e program introduces the game of golf through a 6-8 week curriculum that is taught by PGA Professionals who are trained in Adaptive Golf & Military Culture Competency. All programs are funded by PGA REACH and supplemented by PGA Section Foundations, so the cost of programming is… FREE TO ALL VETERANS !

I found out about the PGA HOPE program in 2019 while I was visiting the driving range at the Sportsplex dome facility at Turning Stone. Ryan McMannis, one of the teaching professionals, told me the CNY PGA Section was going to get involved and he was going to be the instructor for the program. Every year since, I have driven to Oneida, NY and observed at least one of Ryan’s classes with the Veterans. I believe it is something every golfer should do at least once in their life. Sort of like a “Bucket List” item. You may see a veteran you know who is in the program but even if you don’t, the experience will be something you will never forget. I interviewed Ryan on my radio show in 2019 to talk about the program and plan to have him on my show on Saturday, November 5, 2022 around 7:45AM. You can hear us on I Heart Radio, 570AM or 106.9FM. e rst clinic this Fall is scheduled for November 7, 2022 at Turning Stone. I plan to be there.

PGA REACH recognizes Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, 2022 as the PGA National Day of Hope. e goal is to work in partnership with the golf community to , “Celebrate and honor our nation’s HEROES as well as to spread awareness about the PGA HOPE program” e Central New York PGA is very happy to be participating in the 2022 PGA NATIONAL DAY OF HOPE CAMPAIGN.

HERE IS HOW WE CAN HELP…

e CNY PGA Foundation has run (20) PGA HOPE programs for both Veterans and active-duty military (over 400) for the last (5) years at Turning Stone Resort Casino. ey are currently raising money for this wonderful cause through November 11th. ey sincerely hope you will donate to the PGA National Day of Hope and have pledged to match “ALL” donations received. e Oneida Nation has a long history of supporting our Veterans as well and are proud to partner with organizations like the PGA Veterans groups. On average, it costs $200 to graduate a Veteran through PGA HOPE including …8 weeks of instruction from Ryan, venue fees, adaptive equipment and more. e CNY PGA is planning to use funds to expand the program to Fort Drumm in Watertown and the Binghamton areas. You can go to… cnypga.com for more information.

Testimony…

“A er a recommendation from one of the providers at my VA hospital, I attended a fourweek golf clinic sponsored by PGA HOPE and was later asked to be an Ambassador for the program. is opportunity has changed not only my game but also my life. e professional sta of PGA HOPE gives Veterans like me that little nudge we sometimes need to remember things we have forgotten about ourselves and encourages us to re-imagine our postmilitary lives through the game of golf. Being an Ambassador for this program is truly an honor”.

Proud Veteran, Doug Jackson

I have never asked for charitable donations in my articles because there are so many wonderful organizations that deserve recognition, I would be asking every week. I am, however, making an exception for the PGA HOPE program for our Veterans. LET’S MAKE A DONATION!

Egypt via newspaper reports, Cazen ovians were able to [experience] their own slice of ancient Egyptian culture here,” said Shotzberger.

Hubbard’s museum has since been moved to a specially designed room on the ground floor, which has been updat ed to include an electronic touch-screen presentation on his trip down the Nile.

The focal point of CPL’s Egyptian collection is the 2,000-year-old mummy named Hen.

“Howard Carter and his team not only opened [Tutankhamen’s] coffin, but they also unwrapped the pharaoh’s body,” said Shotzberger. “Unlike our Hen, Tu tankhamen was not well preserved; his

Di Rienzo founded OHG in July 2017 with Mark Frazer, Jeremey Junnila, Paul Tupin, and Michael Stanfield. Although the company is headquartered in Cazen ovia, the team works virtually with per sonnel in North Carolina, New York, and Virginia.

Di Rienzo submitted an initial appli cation to the Most Fundable Companies program back in February 2022.

On Oct. 13, 2022, he accepted the award at the Pepperdine Graziadio Busi ness School in Malibu, California.

“[Being selected as a Platinum compa ny] means One Health Group is the Most Fundable and has excellent potential for market success, is derisked compared to other possible investments, and has great potential to return significant value to its investors,” Di Rienzo said.

CPL’s King Tut event is free and open to the public thanks to the support of the Friends of the Library.

The library staff will present an adult open house on Wednesday, Nov 9 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for community members to view the Egyptian collection and learn about King Tut.

“Our target animal market verticals are in excess of $250 billion and grow ing,” he said. “Primarily a [business-tobusiness] company that leverages [soft ware as a service] economics, One Health Group has multiple licensing, exit, and growth opportunities. We’re currently filling our $1.5MM seed round, tranche 3, with $500,000 already committed. This round dovetails into a $10.0MM Series A to complete development, go-to-market, and achieve profitability and self-sustain ability.”

According to Di Rienzo, the com pany’s employees will continue to work virtually until OHG finalizes its Series A investment round, at which time a corpo rate headquarters will be selected.
