elcoming any help that comes their way, two local friends are looking to spread holiday cheer this month by distributing packaged gifts to senior citizens. The event, which is being called “Share the Season’s Holiday Sparkle,” will revolve around the delivery of Mint Bliss Gift Sets to Loretto Sedgwick Heights and Bishop Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, both of which are located on James Street in Syracuse. The giveaway was the idea of East Syracuse resident Ellen Eber, a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant. She sees it as a spinoff of “Adopt a Grandparent,” a seasonal initiative started in Rochester by another representative of the same cosmetics marketing company.
Eber said that generous gesture has been “wonderfully successful” in that part of the state, and so it crossed her mind to draw as much as possible from her personal inventory and share similar products with elderly folks in the Syracuse area. The gift sets contain festive stickers, a three-fluid-ounce tube of mint foot lotion for fragile skin, and a neutral but colorful and “cutesy” holiday card wrapped with a bow. Eber proceeded to ask her longtime friend, Kenneth Fike, if he would pitch in by donning his big red suit, hopping on his sleigh and personally delivering the packaged gift sets—a request he immediately obliged. Fike, who went to Liverpool High School with Eber in the early 1980s, is known to make appearances as Santa Claus, and he did so for Lights on the Lake from 1996 to 2015, presenting gifts for

the millionth, two millionth, three millionth and four millionth cars that visited the two-mile-long drive-thru show. Catering to event planners, Fike’s business of one has a Facebook page called “Santa’s Magical Moments,” and he said this year has been his busiest yet. He stops by group homes, nature centers, town tree lightings, and shopping centers and said he’s always glad to touch people’s hearts and have an uplifting effect. Fike will be dropping off gifts to the Bishop and Sedgwick retirement facilities as Santa Claus between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 21. His plan is to get into character and head on over with a portable speaker playing holiday music. Upon his arrival, he will sit in either the general meeting area or foyer at each location to hand out the gifts and do a meet-and-greet Cheer l Page 2
Santa, Firefighter Elves to visit Cicero residents
On Saturday, Dec. 23, starting at 10 a.m., the Cicero Fire Department will once again escort Santa and his Firefighter Elves throughout the Cicero Fire District to visit with residents and spread some holiday cheer. As a result of the size of the district, the department has created three different zones which will run at the same time and visit the strategic pre-planned “Santa Stops.” As Santa and his team prepare for this event to make sure it runs smoothly, they are working with
Santa’s IT department to create a live link for each zone that can be shared and viewed by followers to verify they are running on time. It is important that followers review the outlined schedules which are attached ahead of time and make sure to arrive early at the nearest “Santa Stop,” as each zone is unable to make individual stops, which will cause additional delays. Remember that those members on this detail are volunteer, giving up their Saturday morning, afternoon to
provide this opportunity to the residents of the town of Cicero. While on this detail, in the event an alarm(s) is received, it is the priority of these crews to answer the alarm(s) which may ultimately cause a delay in the schedule(s) or even the decision to cancel and/or postpone this detail. Also, make sure to take a few minutes to not only thank volunteers for making this detail possible, as well as for their continued dedication of protecting the residents of the town of Cicero.
At its Dec. 11 meeting, the Village of Liverpool Board of Trustees introduced two proposed local laws, one amending the village noise ordinance and another amending the zoning code regarding accessory structures. Three Oswego Street residents attended the meeting and expressed their hope that, if passed, the new local laws will benefit their neighborhood. “We’re fully aware of the issues that have been raised,” said Mayor Stacy Finney. At the Nov. 27 village planning board meeting, the same neighbors protested an application made by Dr. Bryan Popovici to build a large garage at his property at 717 Oswego St. They complained about years of construction projects disturbing their neighborhood with noise, floodlights and garbage. “There are many, many issues,” the mayor said on Dec. 11. The trustees will conduct a public hearing about the proposed local laws at 7 p.m. Jan. 22, at the village hall. Finney encouraged the neighbors to air their concerns at that time.
Another new officer
New full-time police officer Morgan Baumler was sworn in by Finney at the start of the trustees’ December meeting. Baumler, concluded his phase 2 training with the Camillus Police Department on Dec. 5. Now Baumler will begin
field training that will last until mid-February. He’ll then start covering shifts. Another new officer, Joseph Ottaviano, was sworn in on Nov. 20. “The addition of these two officers will bring the department to five full-time officers, still two short of the approved seven officers,” Chief Jerry Unger said. Another applicant – Robert Llamas – is presently undergoing background checks and training. Unger said that an academy hosted by the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Office will begin in February.
Nine accidents in November
At the village board’s monthly meeting on Dec. 11, Unger reported via memo that his officers made 61 traffic stops and issued 47 citations for violations of the state’s vehicle and traffic laws in November. Nine accidents were investigated last month. Six parking tickets were issued in November. Officers made 42 residential checks and 131 business checks while responding to a total of 337 incidents and calls for service. The LPD arrested six individuals last month on seven criminal charges.
Overnight parking ban in effect
From now through April 15 parking along most village streets is banned from midnight to 8 a.m. In the village business district, parking on the street is prohibited from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Man charged with weapon possession following pursuit by deputies By Russ Tarby Contributing Writer
A sleeping motorist at the intersection of Buckley and West Taft roads, awoke suddenly last week after an Onondaga County Sheriff ’s deputy and a North Syracuse Police officer appeared on the scene. The deputy had been on routine patrol at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 13,
when he noticed a vehicle stopped at a green light at the intersection in the town of Clay. The deputy approached the car – a 2015 Chevy Equinox – and noticed the driver had passed out at the wheel. “While looking into the vehicle, the deputy noticed a loaded handgun with an extended magazine on the passenger seat,” said sheriff ’s office spokesman Sgt.
Thomas Newton. The driver, identified as 20-year-old Stani Juma of Syracuse, then woke up as deputies and a North Syracuse Police sergeant were attempting to get his attention. Juma was directed to exit the vehicle, but he failed to comply with those directions, Newton reported. Juma proceeded to drive away, striking a sheriff ’s
patrol car behind him and then struck another patrol vehicle. Juma left the scene in his Chevy, heading toward the village of Liverpool. Deputies pursued him along with the Air 1 helicopter flown by the sheriff ’s aviation unit. Air 1 is equipped with Night Sun, a light source capable of delivering 30 million candlepower.
The deputies finally managed to stop Juma in the village at Hiawatha Trail, where he fled on foot. Juma was caught by deputies and taken into custody. The firearm – a Taurus 9mm – was recovered next to a fence where Juma was arrested. Juma was charged with several crimes including second-degree criminal possession of a loaded fire-
arm, third-degree criminal possession of the weapon’s ammo clip, tampering with physical evidence, criminal mischief, fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle and driving while intoxicated. Deputies also issued several traffic tickets including reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Juma was remanded to the Corbett Justice Center to await arraignment.

OBITUARIES William H. Wormuth, 81
Kenneth A. Manuel, 75
William H. “Bill” Wormuth, 81, of East Syracuse, passed away on Sunday at his home from complications of several health challenges. Bill was born in Baldwinsville in 1942, the middle child of Wilson L. and Marion Adsit Wormuth. He graduated from C. W. Baker High School in 1960, attended Syracuse University on a lacrosse scholarship, and received his bachelor of arts degree in 1964. He later earned a master’s degree from SUNY Oswego. Bill was a teacher, coach and assistant principal at West Genesee High School in Camillus before becoming the principal and eventually superintendent at Lowville Academy and Central School in Lowville, N.Y. As a lifelong coach and educator, Bill was always focused on teaching and getting people to accomplish more than they believed they could. He inspired many students to pursue teaching and coaching careers and served as a mentor to many. Bill was inducted into the Upstate Lacrosse Foundation Hall of Fame and the Town of Camillus/West Genesee Hall of Fame, recognizing his accomplished coaching career and contributions to the growth of lacrosse in Central New York. He was always a strong supporter of his community and served in many volunteer capacities with not-for-profit, civic, service and community-oriented organizations. He was a proud alumnus, loyal supporter, and avid fan of SU athletics. Bill also enjoyed sailing, hunting, reading, and visiting with his family and friends. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and each one held a special place in his heart.

with the residents. Fike said he wants to be careful and considerate of compromised immune systems, so in certain cases, he will relay gifts to staff members at the facilities to bring to those in other parts of the buildings. Fike and Eber said some residents of nursing care centers might not have family members around and could feel lonely or forgotten about, especially this time of year if they have nobody in the immediate vicinity to visit them. “If we can change things a little bit on our end of the world to make things a little brighter for people and keep the Christmas spirit alive, that’s all we’re trying to do,” Fike said. “The elderly have done a lot for us by raising this younger generation. They blazed the trail and I just feel it’s important to pay back.” Eber said it’s something extra special to see Fike’s presence and presentation while dressed as Santa. “Ken has a wonderful magic all his

He will be remembered for his unyielding devotion to his family, commitment to his craft, and his consistently warm and compassionate nature. A memorial service to celebrate Kenneth’s life was held on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023, at the Sugar Land Mortuary (1818 Eldridge Rd, Sugar Land, TX) with visitation at 5 p.m. followed by a service at 6 p.m. own,” she said. “He’s very personable and he has a special flair—he’s the perfect Santa and he’ll make this terrific.” Eber said she has a few dozen gift sets of her own for the show of appreciation but that she’s looking to close the gap between the total amount being delivered and the combined number of residents at the two assisted living sites, which is about 500 residents altogether, she said. A gift set can be ordered with a $15 donation from the public. The sender can remain anonymous or put their name in the holiday card included so the recipient knows who’s thinking of them. Donations can be made by texting Eber at 315-256-7726 and arranging to either send a check or a payment through PayPal or Venmo. The deadline to do so is this Friday, Dec. 15. Eber said any remaining money will be used to buy more gift sets for next year. She said if all goes well, deliveries in 2024 can be made to children’s hospitals and elsewhere, even around other holidays like Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day.

Creating Lasting Change Local Girl Scouts earn awards Local girl scouts were among the 16 members of the Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways (GSNYPENN) Council’s Gold Award Girl Scout Class of 2023 who invested countless hours and made a sustainable impact addressing causes they care about within their communities. GSNYPENN’s most recent class turned their passions into action with projects that demonstrate the breadth of issues American teens feel are most prevalent in society today. Recipients were recognized for earning their Girl Scout Gold Award at a luncheon in late November at Drumlins in Syracuse. Event attendees included awardees and their families, council staff and board members. The keynote speaker was Marla Velky-Reger, LCSW-R, a Girl Scout alum, licensed clinical social worker and co-owner of Cazenovia Community Fitness. “Our Gold Award Class of 2023 all identified the root cause of pressing issues in their communities, created sustainable solutions and took action to earn one of Girl Scouting’s most prestigious achievements. I’m both inspired by and proud of each recipient. They truly embody the Girl Scout Mission, Promise, and Law, and have taken active steps to
launch projects that will all have a lasting impact,” said GSNYPENN CEO Julie Dale. Since 1916, the Gold Award has stood for excellence and leadership for Girl Scouts everywhere. It is the most prestigious award that Senior (grades 9-10) and Ambassador (grades 11-12) Girl Scouts can earn. Through their work on sustainable Take Action projects, Gold Award recipients gain tangible skills and prove they are the leaders our community and the world need. Sarah Rinzan, of Manlius, was named recipient of a $10,000 Girl Scouts of the USA National Gold Award Scholarship for her outstanding community-based project Musical Lending Library. Sarah is among a group of 110 Gold Award Girl Scouts from across the U.S. who received national scholarships this year made possible in part by the Kappa Delta Foundation in addition to funds from GSUSA and its National Board. Rinzan received a Gold Award for her Musical Lending Library project, which improved access to musical instruments and resources in her community by creating the Musical Lending Library at the Fayetteville Free Library, where library

patrons can check out instruments that were donated to the collection and use her instructional website to pursue their musical passions. Sarah graduated from Fayetteville-Manlius High School and currently studies chemical and biological engineering at Princeton University. Other local class of 2023 Gold Award recipients included: Sarah Bacon, of Camillus, for her Veteran Gravestone Restoration project. Bacon honored veterans by repairing and cleaning their gravestones in an abandoned cemetery, while also recruiting others to do the same. She said one of her favorite Girl Scout memories is whitewater rafting with her troop. Sarah is a graduate of West Genesee High School and currently a student at the State University of New York at Geneseo. Clara Macreery, of Fayetteville, for her Dance Classes for Children with Disabilities project.

Macreery created a dance instruction program centered around inclusivity and each child’s unique needs. Her favorite Girl Scout memory is the Mommy & Me campout at Camp Amahami. Clara is a graduate of Fayetteville-Manlius High School and currently attends the University of Pittsburgh where she studies civil engineering. Emma Mantione, of Baldwinsville, for her Music Book Library project. Mantione created a Music Book Library at Charles W. Baker High School. She decided to help her school district and community by collecting music books for local student use through donations gathered during school concerts, community events and from the local library. She also posted flyers locally to not only help with her book drive but to educate people on how music helps with mental health and enhances learning and recall. As part of her project, she

Raymond’s project aimed to help children newly diagnosed with type one diabetes and their families. Her project included creating a packet with common scenarios and advice, low-carb snacks and an outline to help others understand diabetes and how to best support them. She said her favorite Girl Scout memories are ones spent with her troop attending Girl Scout camps, selling cookies and the annual Pinewood Derby. Bella is now a freshman at Nazareth University where she is a member of the field hockey team, honors program and majors in psychology with a minor in sports and entertainment management.
William G. Pomeroy to donate former Switz’s Building to Crouse Donation to allow Crouse to expand services to Northern Suburbs Local entrepreneur and philanthropist William G. Pomeroy has announced that he has donated an iconic 66,000-square-foot building on South Bay Road to Crouse Health to be used as a site for clinical care services and community health and wellness activities. The building, which features a clock tower, most recently served as the headquarters of global IT infrastructure company CXtec
but is known by many in the community as the old Switz’s store. In 2020 the building had a replacement value of $11.8 million. “I am thrilled to be able to offer the residents of the northern suburbs, as well as the entire Central New York region, easy and welcoming access to the firstclass healthcare provided by Crouse,’’ Pomeroy said. Crouse Health President and CEO Seth Kronenberg,
MD, said Pomeroy’s generosity will allow Crouse to enhance access and care for patients. “With this strategic expansion of Crouse services, we look forward to offering residents of the northern suburbs enhanced access to the high-quality healthcare for which Crouse is known throughout the region,” said Kronenberg. Kronenberg said the facility will offer clinical care that will include primary care and other medical and surgical specialties. The space will also provide a wide range of
community and professional educational programming, including maternity and pregnancy classes, screenings focusing on diabetes, stroke, prenatal care, cardiac health and other community wellness activities, including Crouse’s well-known Visit to Hospital-Land program. Crouse also plans to offer neighborhood organizations use of the facility’s large community room for events, art exhibitions and social and business gatherings. “I wanted this donation to be an opportunity to remember my late wife, San-
dra Pomeroy, who served as my devoted caretaker when I was hospitalized at Crouse. She continued to offer unwavering support to me, the hospital and its mission, even after I was in remission,’’ Pomeroy said. “To be able to provide this facility to the community in her memory is one of the best ways I can think of to honor the wonderful, kind and loving person that Sandra was.’’ Kronenberg said the goal is to design programs around the specific needs of the community, while taking
full advantage of Crouse’s regionally recognized healthcare expertise and resources. “We are grateful to Bill Pomeroy for his generous support of the Central New York community, especially his continued focus on the healthcare needs of all of those in our region,” he said. Crouse Health plans to move into the building in the first quarter of 2024, when the facility will be renamed the Pomeroy Community & Wellness Center at Crouse Health.

OBITUARIES Susan Estabrook
Mother, grandmother, sister, friend Susan, “Susie” Estabrook was born at Crouse hospital in Syracuse on April 1, 1942. She and her two sisters, Carolyn and Ellie, were raised by their parents Janet and Henry Estabrook in Fulton. She attended school in Fulton, four years of high school at Emma Willard School in Troy, N.Y., and Endicott College in Beverly, MA. In the summers, Susie’s family enjoyed “lake-life” at Fair Haven Bay where she loved sailing with her father and sister Carolyn, and became an accomplished racer in her Rhodes Bantam sailboat. After earning an associate’s degree in communications, Susie followed her dream of getting involved in TV and Radio. She first worked in TV at Channel 9 in Syracuse, and later moved to WSYR Radio in Syracuse where she hosted her own radio show called, “A Date with Susie” with music and fun conversations. Susie chased her dreams of being one of the few female radio-hosts in the early 60s and found wonderful success at an early age. Susie had two children, Winston and Laura, and, without a doubt, committed her life to her children. She raised her
family in Fayetteville after a brief beginning in Camillus. As a mother, she was loving and supportive and always encouraged her kids to pursue their passions. She never missed a game, a gymnastic meet, a school event, a life milestone, or a birthday. She was very protective of her kids and her family as they were her world. Her career while raising her children was selling residential real estate with the majority of her career spent alongside her friends at ColdwellBanker Burlingame. In 2005 she celebrated the arrival of her first grandson, Carson, and in 2011 her second grandson, Bryce. Through Susie’s presence and keen wisdom, she instilled her strong values of kindness, giving, family, friendship, temperament and love in her kids and grandkids. In the mid-1980s Susie became a snowbird and spent half of the year in Naples, FL, where she developed a strong group of friends, jumped into volunteer activities, travel opportunities and a created a welcoming gathering spot for family. The flowers and overall beauty of the Naples area brought her tremendous happiness and vibrancy. Outside of her family, Susie was fully engaged in her community. She was a proud member of both the Onondaga Golf

and Country Club and the Century Club in Syracuse and Club Pelican Bay, in Naples, FL. She was a long-term active member of St. David’s Church in DeWitt. She was a dedicated volunteer in Syracuse at the Syracuse Garden Club, The Everson Museum, Oakwood Cemetery and the Junior League. In Florida, she was a member of the Naples Botanical Garden, The League Club and the Naples Garden Club where she was a talented participant in the annual flower competitions proudly brought home the blue ribbon many times. She was one of the founding bundlesof-energy that started “Footloose and Fancy Free,” a fun group of single, divorced, widowed women who frequently gathered to enjoy comradery and the beauty, food and entertainment in the Naples area. Susie was many things to many people: a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a friend, a mentor, a dog-lover and a leader. She had a marvelous and humble selflessness that was deeply rooted in her character and demonstrated by her care for her family, her commitment to her volunteer work, her creative floral designs, her detailed trips she organized for the Everson Museum and the joy shared with selling homes. She loved knowing she was providing wonderful experiences for others. Susie lost her battle against cancer on Dec. 6, 2023, two weeks after a diagnosis and spent her last two weeks in Crouse Hospital. She and her family thank the teams in the Crouse Hospital Emergency Department and the Cardiac Floor on 4North.
Susan Estabrook Susie is survived by her son Everett Winston Rodormer, daughter Laura Rodormer, grandsons Carson Rodormer and Bryce Rodormer, her sisters Carolyn (Milton) Frye and Ellen Ganey.

The warp and weft of life Tree troubles our voice
With Christmas fast approaching, for those who celebrate, we hope you have found the perfect Christmas tree and it is in the stand, which can be an aggravating challenge in and of itself, and the tree is now decorated and trimmed, and you can take your time to sit back and enjoy that tree in the days leading up to and following Christmas. And as you and your family are enjoying that tree, and all the lights and ornaments and holiday memories, there are still some safety measures you should keep in mind. According to the Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) Christmas tree fires may not be common, but when they do occur, they are more likely to be extremely serious and cause a lot of damage. Fires involving fresh Christmas trees tend to be more common than artificial tree fires. That’s in part because fresh Christmas trees dry out over time, making them more flammable the longer they’re in the home; a dried-out Christmas tree will burn much more quickly than a well-watered one. Fire departments responded to an annual average of 160 home structure fires caused by Christmas trees between 2016 and 2020, resulting in two civilian deaths, 11 civilian injuries, and $12 million in direct property damage. With New York State leading the nation in home fire deaths according totheU.S.FireAdministration,FASNY urge residents to stay vigilant and hydrate all natural Christmas trees. Also to take the extra steps needed when decorating and properly using seasonal and holiday candles, menorah candles, decorative lighting and electric cords to ensure your “winter wonderland” doesn’t turn into a devastating house fire. “As we enjoy the holiday season, FASNY urges all New Yorkers to take the extra steps when decorating to ensure their homes, offices, schools, and other gathering spaces are safe and free of preventable fire hazards,” said Edward Tase Jr., president of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York. “Carefully decorating your home can help make your holidays safer and merrier.” FASNY recommends the following tips: For a fresh tree, cut 2 inches (5 cm) from the base of the trunk before placing it in the stand. Add water daily to keep the tree well hydrated. Trees should be placed at least 3 feet (1 m) away from any heat source, such as fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, or lights. Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit, such as a door or window. Ensure that decorative lights are in good working order and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Also, the latest statistics from NFPA on Christmas tree fires in US homes include these key findings, reflecting annual averages between 2016 and 2020: Christmas tree fires are more common between 3 p.m. and midnight, accounting for one-half of associated fires. Another 26 percent of fires occurred between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Approximately two of every five home Christmas tree fires started in the living room, family room, or den. Electrical failures or malfunctions were factors in more than one-third (34 percent) of Christmas tree fires. In one-fifth (20 percent) of Christmas tree fires, some type of heat source was placed too close to the tree. For more information, visit fasny. com.

Mulling a new nickname for LHS teams
Whatever you may think of New York Livin’ in State’s objection to the Liverpool word Warriors, no matter that Liverpool High Russ Tarby School sports teams have been known as Warriors for as long as anyone can remember, no matter – the state has decreed that Warriors must go. Rather than bemoan the loss of our longtime label, let’s have some fun figuring out a new name. Maybe this is a chance to pay homage to our local history. How does Liverpool Salt Boilers strike you? Or maybe Willow Weavers? Or Canal Diggers? Personally, I’m a big fan of alliteration, so these are more serious suggestions, some that impart the kind of toughness suggested by Warriors. We could be the Liverpool Lancers, Liverpool Lemurs or Liverpool Lions.
How about L’pool Lightning?
The village of Liverpool was founded in the early 19th century by Irish immigrants. Maybe the teams could be called the Liverpool Leprechauns. Or we might want a weather-related appellation. How about Liverpool Lake Effect or – best yet – the Liverpool Lightning. Now how does that strike you?
White Xmas Martini
It’s the festive drink special this month as The Retreat: A White Christmas Martini. The bartenders shake together some Disaronno Originale amaretto, a bit of Bailey’s Irish Cream and a solid shot of Vanilla Vodka and voila! I gotta wonder if Bing Crosby himself would have enjoyed this White Christmas concoction.
Café at 407 closing
The Café at 407, located at 407 Tulip St., first opened for business in 2009. Now, after 14 years, the comfy coffeehouse is closing. Its non-profit parent, Ophelia’s Place, will continue to serve folks suffering from eating disorders, but the café will soon be sold. In an open letter to its customers posted on Facebook last week, the café staff invited customers to continue to congregate there through Dec. 31. “Come visit us, dine in, take out, stock up on holiday stocking stuffers from our retail area, and take some of our take-and-bakes home with you,” they wrote.

Nine digits, and no perspective?
We knew Shohei Ohtani, once he hit free agency, would get heavily courted by every Random franchise who could afford it and others who Thoughts could not, and that, once he made his choice, Phil Blackwell the total would hit nine digits. Didn’t know it would end up closer to 10 digits. Thanks, Dodgers. So ended a week where, in a move that shook up the golf world, Jon Rahm, who once pledged fealty to the PGA Tour, announced he was going to the Saudi Arabia-funded LIV Golf. The talk was that took $500 million, guaranteed up front, to lure Rahm over. Each of these moves was greeted with gasps, followed by all sorts of screeds about What This Meant – have to use capital letters since everyone wanted to sound important when dealing with this topic. Even when Ohtani later announced he would defer a large chunk of that $70 million per year for 10 years, it didn’t change the fact that his contract was more than $200 million bigger than any previous deal for a baseball player. The same was true with Rahm, only more of it was upfront. LIV had already lured the likes of Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Cameron Smith away. Now it has, arguably, the world’s best player, handing the PGA Tour another crisis beyond the ones it already is facing. Say all you want that the moves were entirely money-driven – and maybe they were. But even if every intention was pure, what these gigantic deals threaten to do is completely sever the tenuous bond between sports superstar and sports fan. You say this is an old theme? Yes, as old as professional sports itself. From the very moment men made a few bucks playing the games they loved, someone, somewhere would lament it and question whether the athletes cared anymore. As contracts grew at a far larger rate than inflation, especially in the late 20th century, those laments turned into loud wails. Any time any player, beloved in one city, took their skills elsewhere through this thing called free agency, we questioned their loyalty, their ethics, their ancestry, anything to make us feel better. All of this was quite ironic. The same sort of business decisions all of us make on a regular basis, which no rational human being could criticize, was turned into an unforgivable sin on the playing fields, or the ice, or the courts. To a degree, some of these athletes didn’t help themselves with their rationales. Whether it’s taxes (or lack of them), school systems or climate, they readily acknowledged factors that didn’t seem serious or rational, leading to plenty of ridicule to go with all the personal shots. What athletes, or their agents, or their allies might not understand is that the public has grown numb to the vast figures tossed about in these large contracts, not to mention the sale of teams or stadium construction that routinely runs in the billions. It’s just not possible for any of us, even the most die-hard of fans, to relate to this wealth, the kind that goes way, way beyond what any person really needs in their lifetimes. Okay, so it might help their families down the road, and it certainly enriches their agents, but who else? Sports, as a whole, only has an impact if the public believes that its participants, whatever their background and whatever their salary, are fully invested in trying to compete and win. The moment they sense that the richest athletes don’t care, it’s almost impossible to build goodwill again. So in 2024 and beyond, a whole lot of attention will focus itself on these near-billionaires do. Will Shohei Ohtani, even if he’s only hitting and not yet pitching, give the Dodgers a full-season championship after the COVIDaffected and short 2020 campaign? And does Jon Rahm, basking in 54-hole, no-cut LIV luxury, lose the burning desire and fiery manner that led to his U.S. Open and Masters titles? The ultimate result may go a way toward resolving the differences still present between LIV and the golf establishment. Greatness is not achieved through position in life, nor is it maintained by the well-compensated and content. Billions are paid out, but are they really worth the trouble they can cause?

order and began to write and weave again about the horrors of the Middle East wars when a dear friend dropped in. and don’t I love that … a friend who drops by, a good thing, something that belongs in the warp threads of life. Then there was the cookie baking and the arrival of my new recumbent exercise bicycle which needed to be assembled…and … Maybe the warp threads would better be focused on all of the exceptional people as individuals and members of groups who strive to make life wonderful. I began that list when one of the cats threw up…instigating a lot of odd interest by her fellow felines. What next? It does seem that my attempt at literary exceptionalism is a failure. And so, as in Christmases past, I share again, the poem Finlandia, a poem which covers both warp and weft of my virtual blanket as well as the This is my song, O basic message God of all the nations of Christmas A song of peace, for which I share lands afar and mine with all my This is my home, the heart for you: country where my heart is Ann Ferro is a mother, a grandmother and a retired social studies teacher.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All
minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.
A Visit from St. Nicholas BY CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too— And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack. His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples,

Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if
they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world
which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York’s Sun newspaper, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials and on posters and stamps.

Liverpool boys hoops outlasts C-NS in overtime by Phil Blackwell
For the only time in the 2023-24 regular season, the Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse boys basketball teams would gather in the gymnasium at North Syracuse Junior High School. And it would evolve into a grinding, hardnosed and tough battle that spilled into overtime before the Warriors, fueled by both grit and a bit of good fortune, pulled out a 63-60 decision. Not until the Northstars’ Nate Francis saw his half-court attempt in the last second of OT fall short did Liverpool emerge victorious from a contest where both sides had all kinds of chances to seize control, but could not. The fact that C-NS even had a chance on a night where leading scorer Andrew Benedict
10.8 seconds left, and it took Fowler hitting one foul shot and Kalen Haskins connecting on two more to fend off the Northstars, who got within one, 61-60, on a Coppock 3-pointer with a second to play. All game long, Fowler’s aggressive moves to the basket paid off as he led both sides with 17 points. Jeff Trombley added nine points as Francis finished with 14 points. Both sides won in the lead-up to the game. C-NS tuned up last Tuesday night by hosting Utica Academy of Science and battling to a 6858 victory over the Atoms. Nothing about UAS proved easy. Led by Donelius King’s team-high 20 points, the Atoms led for large portions of the first half and only trailed by two, 45-43, headed to the fourth quarter. But the Northstars put the game away with a combination of hot shooting and plenty
was held to six points was a tribute to how his teammates stepped up at different times. Francis netted eight straight points early in the second quarter to erase an early Warriors lead. Then T.J. Coppock had a big stretch, mostly in the second half, on his way to a teamhigh 16 points. Tied late in regulation, the two sides continued to trade blows. When Jeff Manuel hit two free throws with 1:28 to play, it was 52-52, but then Manuel, Freddy Fowler and Benedict all missed possible go-ahead shots in the final minute. That it went to the wire in OT was only made possible by Liverpool missing six consecutive free throws. Still, Kaelem Haskins hit a critical basket with less than 30 seconds left that pushed the Warriors’ lead to 60-55. Francis also missed a crucial free throw after getting fouled on a 3-point attempt with
of clutch free throws. Michael Gallo converted on four 3-pointers to account for most of his 15 points. Benedict finished with a game-high 21 points and Francis added 16 points as the pair combined to convert 12 free throws. Following back-to-back weekend wins over CBA and Hilton, Liverpool hosted Binghamton (Section IV) last Wednesday night and defeated the Patriots 57-44 in large measure due to what it did in the first quarter. Even though the Warriors were far from potent early, it nearly shut out Binghamton in the first eight minutes, grabbing a 13-2 edge that it would nurse the rest of the way. Haskins led the attack with 17 points. Of his teammates, only Trombley, with 12 points, hit double figures, with Fowler getting eight points and Manuel adding seven points.
Liverpool girls rally from 22 down, defeat C-NS by Phil Blackwell
Just about everything went wrong for the Liverpool girls basketball team in the early portion of Tuesday night’s showdown with Cicero-North Syracuse. Then it all went right for the Warriors in just as complete a manner. As a result, a 22-point deficit turned into a 61-49 victory in the lone regular-season meeting between these two rivals and their first encounter since Liverpool beat C-NS in last March’s Section III Class AA final. And it was A’briyah Cunningham, the Warriors’ superb junior guard, who proved the central figure in both the early crisis and the ferocious comeback. C-NS, in just its second game of the season, made all the correct moves in the early going, a trend that only got more pronounced when Cunningham went to the bench with her second foul just three minutes into the contest. Without her, Liverpool was held without a field goal in the game’s first 10 minutes, more
than enough time for the Northstars, buoyed by hot outside shooting by the likes of Kat McRobbie-Taru, to dash to a 26-7 lead. Even when Cunningham returned and broke the long field-goal drought early in the second period, C-NS kept on adding to its margin. When reserve Amanda Timmons hit on a runner near the midway point of the quarter, the Northstars had a 33-11 advantage. Liverpool proceeded to go on a 40-7 run, an extended string of superb all-around play with Cunningham as the spark. The key sequence came late in the second quarter, Cunningham rattling off nine of her team’s 12 points that nearly cut the deficit in half and sent the teams to the break with the Warriors only trailing 35-23. “A’briyah made big plays, and then everyone followed,” said Liverpool head coach Mike Wheeler. Applying heavy pressure whenever C-NS got into the midcourt, the Warriors forced a string of turnovers and kept erasing the deficit until six straight points by Cunningha mgave
Liverpool the lead for good late in the third quarter. In one memorable sequence, the Warriors trapped and Cunningham blocked a shot, stole it in mid-air and then drove down for a breakaway layup. But this wasn’t a one-player show, despite Cunningham producing a game-high 23 points. Everyone on Liverpool’s roster excelled on defense, whether forcing steals or making key rebounds as C-NS went cold from the field. Meanwhile, Gianna Washington and Kaylyn Sweeney both converted key baskets during this stretch and finished with 13 points apiece, six of Sweeney’s points coming in the fourth quarter, while Angie Kohler earned eight points. Stunned by the turnaround, the Northstars were never able to put together a late comeback of its own. other than McRobbie-Taru, who finished with 19 points, no C-NS player scored in double figures. What was just as impressive for Liverpool was that, after such an emotional victory, there was no letdown Thursday as, against East Syra-
cuse Minoa, the Warriors routed the Spartans 70-28. Cunningham, with her 24 points, led an attack that started the game 20-8 and peaked with a 24-5 surge through the third quarter. Giselle Cruz joined Sweeney as they both finished with 11 points, Cruz hitting on three 3-pointers, while Kohler, with 10 points, also hit double figures. It was on this note that the Warriors would head to the Disney Wide World of Sports complex in Florida this week for a three-game tournament against elite national competition. C-NS, meanwhile, recovered from the Liverpool loss in a big way on Saturday, routing Section V’s Fairport 57-26 with a defense that only allowed a grand total of eight points in the second half. On the other end, Leah Benedict assumed the starring role, her 16 points mostly built from a trio of 3-pointers. McRobbie-Taru and Grace Villnave each had seven points, with Olivia Cook and Meadow Werts getting six points apiece.
C-NS hockey goes 1-1-1, takes loss to West Genesee by Phil Blackwell
At 3-1 through four games, the CiceroNorth Syracuse ice hockey team would face two major challenges as it played three more times in a five-day span. In the first of those big games, the Northstars went to Kennedy Arena last Monday and, in its league opener, fell 4-2 to Rome Free Academy. They traded goals a minute apart in the first period, Andrew Davis getting C-NS on the board after Chris Brement converted for the Black Knights. It stayed that way until early in the second, when Brement’s second goal put RFA up for good. Jacob Bruno and Cameron Orton added goals that made it 4-1 in the Black Knights’ favor going to the third. Though David Cooley
did score in the game’s final minute, it proved too late as Jase Knopp, Drew Matyasik, Hayden Scott and Rob Warner all got assists and Leyton Sullivan recorded 28 saves. Back home Wednesday to face Watertown IHC, C-NS did better putting the puck in the net, yet could only manage a 4-4 tie with the Cavaliers. It was IHC going in front 3-2 during a wild first period, but then the Northstars’ defense settled down and blanked the Cavaliers until the third, by which point it had caught up. Still, neither side could win it in OT as Scott’s pair of goals paced the C-NS attack. Chase Mearon and Cam Walker also had goals, with Knopp getting two assists. Single assists went to Davis, Cooley and Cole Prevost. And this led to Friday night and the trip to Shove Park to face reigning state Division I
champion West Genesee, who had taken earlyseason losses to Skaneateles and Pittsford, both shutouts. Now the Wildcats have recovered, and would do enough to fight past the Northstars 3-1 where the lone C-NS goal was a secondperiod tally by Scott, assisted by Knopp. Sullivan did a great job keeping his side in the game, stopping 32 of 35 shots, but WG broke through with single goals in each period, with Jacob Pensabense and Nick Meluni each getting one goal and one assist and Jonah Vormwold getting two assists. CNY Fusion, the combined team from Fulton and Liverpool, was in firm control of last Tuesday’s game at Meachem Rink, leading the Syracuse Cougars 3-0 through two periods. Then poor ice conditions, with pooling in
several spots, halted the game, and the sides ultimately agreed to abandon it, not knowing whether Fusion’s lead would stand up and the game would be made official. Things were completed on Thursday night when Fusion traveled to Kennedy Arena to face Rome Free Academy, who would hand Fusion its first defeat of the season. The 5-0 margin seemed to reinforce the Black Knights’ place as a serious championship contender, the hosts netting all of its goals in the last two periods to overcome Trevor Smith’s 38 saves. Jackson Marchione, with two goals and two assists, led RFA’s push. Fusion got ready for another busy stretch that included a Tuesday clash with Baldwinsville in between games against Shaker on Sunday and Finger Lakers on Thursday night.
Liverpool boys swimmers roll past Fulton, 97-77 by Phil Blackwell
Big developments last week in high school boys swimming served to improve the chances of Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse to battle for top honors in the Salt City Athletic Conference. On the same Tuesday night that Baldwinsville put an end to Jamesville-DeWitt/CBA’s two-year unbeaten streak, the Warriors, led by Jack Cavallarano’s pair of state qualifying efforts, improved to 2-0, defeating Fulton 97-77 in its home opener.
It began in the 50-yard freestyle, where Cavallerano tore to victory in 22.11 seconds, faster than the 22.19 he needed to assure a trip to Ithaca College for March’s state championship meet. Not content with this, Cavallerano turned to the 100 butterfly and, in 52.47 seconds, was more than one second faster than the qualifying standard of 53.95 and more than six seconds ahead of the Red Dragons’ Chris Mandart. Later in the meet, Cavallerano would join Joe Lisi, Tristan Vang and Nate Alexander to close out the meet by winning the 400 freestyle
relay in a clocking of 3:43.78. Already, Alexander had won twice, including a dramatic 200 freestyle where, in 1:53.74, he edged Mandart (1:53.77) by three-hundredths of a second. It was nearly as close in the 100 freestyle, Alexander’s 50.99 seconds holding off the 51.14 from Fulton’s Logan Ames. Not to be left out of this, Lisi tore through the 100 backstroke in 55.23 seconds, a new personal mark that inched him closer to the state qualifying standard of 54.82, while also winning the 200 individual medley in 2:06.77 as James Hayden (2:15.09) was second.
Hayden, Lisi, Vang and Bryce Shutts had started the meet by topping the Red Dragons 1:51.52 to 1:53.48 in the 200 medley relay, with Ryan Vann winning the 500 freestyle in 5:40.39 and Colin Gridley picking up 227.4 points in diving. Vang nearly won the 100 breaststroke, his 1:11.59 just behind the 1:10.88 from Fulton’s Aidan Caples, while in the 200 freestyle relay Cavallerano, Alexander, Vann and Sean O’Neil went 1:37.16, beaten out by the Red Dragon’s 1:36.99.
C-NS wrestlers have 9-0 run at Chenango Valley meet by Phil Blackwell
No one who faced the Cicero-North Syracuse wrestling team during the Dec. 8 and 9 Matt Fedish Memorial Duals at Chenango Valley High School proved capable of stopping the Northstars. In nine different matches over two days, C-NS won them all, starting with a 48-21 victory over Oneonta and routs of Walton-Delhi (51-18), Cooperstown (65-11) and DepositHancock (60-15) in the early going. More would follow, the Northstars handling Susquehanna Valley 45-16 before a 5421 win over the eventual second-place finisher, Maine-Endwell. Then Binghamton (63-6), Homer (57-12) and Chenango Valley (48-17) all fell in quick succession. Going a perfect 9-0 during this meet, Zion Mukasa, at 160 pounds, had five pins, a technical fall and three forfeits. Austin Hartman (190 pounds) also went nine-for-nine with
eight pins, one of them 42 seconds over Cam Caskey (Deposit-Hancock). Joe Kozubowski swept through the 285pound bouts with seven pins, only pushed by Homer’s Jack Brown in a 4-1 decision as Kamdin Bembry (215 pounds) improved to 14-0 through seven pins, five of them in bouts lasting less than a minute. Kacey Kalfass (101 pounds) went 8-1, as did Aaron Westcott at 116 pounds and Kaydin Welch at 170 pounds. Aaron Ciciarelli claimed six of seven bouts at 124 pounds as E.J. Altobello (108 pounds) had a 5-4 mark. Back in SCAC Metro division action last Wednesday night, C-NS went to West Genesee and won the first seven bouts on the card on the way to defeating the Wildcats 53-19. They opened at 190, with Hartman pinning Raul Colon late in the first period. Pins by Bembry and Kozubowski followed as Kalfass took 83 seconds to finish off Cole Willis and Westcott got a technical fall.
Though WG did take four of the last six bouts on the card, Mason Indick (138 pounds) stepped up to pin Nathan Mittler-Romano with 43 seconds left and Welch closed out the match with a 57-second pin of Jacob Severson. Liverpool would go 2-3 in the Dec. 9 Valley Duals at Central Valley Academy, beatng Lowville 46-30 and Mount Markham 48-30, only to have a narrow 37-36 defeat to Gouverneur and defeats to host CVA (45-28) and West Genesee (50-24). Two days later, the Warriors hosted Baldwinsville in its Salt City Athletic Conference Metro division opener and started quick, but could not sustain it in a 43-20 loss to the Bees. Triston Sacadura won the opener at 215 pounds, routing Connor Daughton 11-1, and David Blue Moore followed up at 285 pounds by pinning Don’Sincere Allen. From there, though, B’ville won all but
two of the remaining bouts, the only exceptions a forfeit to Paolo Munetz at 116 pounds and Samir Amiri, at 138 pounds, routing Aaron Fredenburg 15-2. In a close 131-pound battle, Marek Sokolowsi went to overtime only to have Scottie Warner take him down and prevail 5-3. Gavin Connolly had an active bout at 124 pounds but lost, 11-6, to Levi Schanzenbach. The C-NS girls wrestling team met Fulton last Wednesday and fell to the Red Dragons 60-18, surrendering most of the points due to forfeits. Three of the five contested bouts went to the Northstars, though, as Brooke Todd (107 pounds) pinned Caeli Bartlett in exactly four minutes, Meghan McGrath (114) took 10 fewer seconds to pin Tessa Newton and, late in the match, Ariana Welsh (165 pounds) got her pin over Peyton Newton early in the second period.
