Village Big Chill 2011 approves budget Hearing no comments, officials increase tax rate 13.6 percent
That’s a cold

Even after extending a public hearing regarding the 2011-12 village of Baldwinsville budget for two weeks, no one spoke in favor or against the budget, which included a 13.6 percent increase in the tax rate, last Thursday. Officials were able to decrease spending for the tax year beginning March 1 and ending Feb. 29, 2012. However, due partially to a $325,000 decrease in anticipated sales tax revenues, the tax rate increased from $6.12 per $1,000 of assessed property value in 2010 to $6.95 per $1,000 in 2011. This means a home assessed at $100,000 would pay $695 in annual village property taxes (not including special districts such as water and sewer) for the fiscal year. Tax rates for previous years were: $7.00 per $1,000 in 2007-08; $6.36 in 2008-09; and $6.12 in 2009-10 and 2010-11. Total expenditures have decreased $313,040 from last year (from $4,233,238 to $3,920,198), which includes a decrease in regular police and highway salaries (down $178,951 and $67,333, respectively), said Treasurer John Salisbury. However, due to increases in retirement and medical insurance costs, as well as the loss of sales tax revenue, the tax levy (total amount collected in property taxes) increased from $1,895,751 in 2010 to $2,178,839 in 2011.

Tony Saraceni, second from left, races out of the chilling Seneca River with the rest of his Polar Bear Plunge team during the 2009 Big Chill event. Saraceni is one of the organizers of the annual winter festival, which returns this weekend with a wine, cheese and chocolate tasting event Friday and the Polar Bear Plunge Saturday, among many other family-friendly activities.
Wine, cheese and chocolate tasting Friday night By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com
This weekend marks the fourth annual Baldwinsville Big Chill. “People complain there is nothing to do in the cold weather. This [event] gives them something to do,” said Tony Saraceni, who helps coordinate the Chamber of Commerce event. Saraceni encourages everyone, including those hibernating for the winter, to get out for the many activities planned for this weekend including a wine, cheese and chocolate event, snowshoe relay races, best in bowl cook-off and, of course, the polar bear plunge. “Dress for the weather and watch these crazy people jump in a frozen river,” said Saraceni, who has jumped in the frozen river every year since the event began. In addition to providing entertainment in the chill of winter,
proceeds from the event benefit local charities including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities of CNY and The Greater Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce. Event details A Wine, Cheese and Chocolate event replaces last year’s Casino Night event. Organizers had to change the event because state laws require all casino events to be held at a municipal building. “We didn’t want to compromise the event moving it from the Red Mill Inn to a municipal building,” Saraceni said, adding they were disappointed about losing the casino event. However, they have Swedish Hill, along with sister companies Goose Watch and Penguin Bay for the Wine, Cheese and Chocolate event, as well as Speach Family Candy Shoppe and Buttercup Cheese.

Opinion Editorial
Get out and get fit During the chilly winter months, it’s natural for our bodies to tell us to stay indoors and load up on calories to keep warm and cozy. While comforting, this instinct can pack on the pounds and potentially lead to health problems. The alternative to “hibernating” is to get out there, enjoy the weather and burn some calories. Did you know a 150-pound person burns an average 285 calories per hour building a snowman, 319 calories per hour participating in a snowball fight and 340 calories per hour shoveling? Other winter activities to consider include: aBuilding a snow fort or igloo; aPlaying chase, tag or hide and seek; aHaving a scavenger hunt for winter nature items such as animal tracks, pinecones or bird nests; and aShoveling a path in the yard like a maze. Don’t forget traditional outdoor winter activities either such as ice-skating, hiking in the snow, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Beaver Lake Nature Center, located on East Mud Lake Road in Lysander, is a great place to participate in a variety of these traditional outdoor activities. This weekend also marks the return of Baldwinsville’s Big Chill, which embraces the cold with snowshoe relay races, the Polar Bear Plunge and other snow-related activities. Just remember, before heading outdoors for your winter workout, dress warmly and in layers, stay hydrated and be aware of the weather forecast.

How to choose a financial professional As you navigate the financial world, you’ll most likely deal with a wide array of investment choices, constantly changing tax laws, estate-planning issues and other areas. And then, to make things even more complex, you’ll have to consider your own risk tolerance, time horizon and individual goals. If you’re like most people, you don’t have the time and expertise to create, monitor and adjust your investment strategy by yourself, so you’ll need to get some help. But how can you choose a financial professional who is right for you? You’ll need to do some research, possibly by interviewing a few candidates. Here are a few questions you may want to ask: Do you have experience working with people like me? Ideally, you’d like to work with someone who has experience in helping people like you – that is, people with similar income and asset levels, family situations, goals and so on. The more familiar a financial professional is with people like you, the better that person will be at helping you identify the appropriate investment moves. Do you have a particular investment philosophy? Look for someone with a thoughtful, reasoned philosophy on investing. As a general rule, be suspicious of anyone promising you big, quick gains. The best finan-
Kevin Wall Financial Focus cial professionals seek to help their clients achieve positive long-term results through disciplined, persistent and sensible investment moves. How often will you communicate with me? If you’re going to entrust your hard-earned financial resources with someone, you’ll want that person to communicate with you regularly as to how you’re doing and what changes you may need to make. How often will you receive investment statements? How many times a year will you meet to review your progress? Can you have face-to-face consultations whenever you need them? These are the types of questions you’ll want to ask any prospective financial advisor. Will you be my primary contact? If you seek a one-on-one relationship with a financial professional, you’ll want that person to be your main contact, if not your exclusive one. You deserve the attention and expertise of a financial professional, so if you’re interviewing someone
who seems as if he or she might try to “pass you along” to subordinates in the office, keep looking. What services do you offer? If you want your financial professional to help you create a unified investment strategy, you’ll also want that person to help you implement it — which means he or she needs access to a full range of investment and money management products and services. How are you paid? Financial professionals are compensated in any of a number of ways. They may work on a fee-only basis, with the fee either agreed upon in advance or based on the level of assets under management. And some financial professionals work in a combined fee-and-commission arrangement. From an investor’s point of view, one method of compensation may not be “better” than the others; nonetheless, it’s important for you to fully understand how your financial advisor will be paid. By doing your homework in advance, you can develop a solid relationship with a qualified financial professional — someone who will be with you far into the future.

Differences in opinion start early in New Year The first session of the Onondaga County Legislature for 2011 convened on Jan. 18. We had a short agenda to start off the year; however, there were a couple of significant issues. The first issue of importance was the purchase of a combination sewer cleaner. This was significant because the sewer cleaner is used by almost every town or village in Onondaga County along with the needs of the county. This $275,000 piece of equipment is the poster child for shared services. If every municipality had to purchase a sewer cleaner for its needs, this would be a significant waste of taxpayer’s dollars. Onondaga County does charge each municipality for the time that it is used by them, but at a considerably lower cost compared to a private rental. The year has already started with a difference of opinion. The Democrat caucus has decided to forgo voting on bonding for any county project until a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) is in place for county projects. A PLA dictates projects by determining employee wages and work conditions prior to bidding. We did approve the purchase of the combination sewer cleaner, but the bonding for the truck was rejected. If we cannot bond for this truck as it was budgeted, the requirement to pay cash will possibly affect sewer rates in the upcoming year.
Another important issue was some needed repairs for the elevators at the Public Safety Building. The City of Syracuse occupies about 75 percent of the building, and the building is co-owned by the city and the county. The City of Syracuse is responsible for 61 percent (the county 39 percent) of maintenance and capital improvements. Our facilities department sent over a resolution to replace the elevators for $426,000. However, before we were going to authorize this expenditure, the Legislature wanted a written agreement in place with the city accepting their responsibility for 61 percent of the cost. After some lengthy negotiations, a compromise was reached in that the money would be authorized, but could not be spent until a written agreement was received by the Legislature. A resolution that passed without controversy was the approval of several county fire coordinators. We are fortunate to have three from this area, Greg Tiner, Courtney Ruth-
erford and Christopher Evans. Fire coordinators perform this service for Onondaga County without a salary. I would like to thank them for their time and service. Lastly, I noticed a letter to the editor in a recent issue of your paper thanking me for the information in my column. It is one of the challenges of this position of keeping the constituents informed of issues that affect them and how I voted. I would like to thank the individual for his letter, and respond to his question as to how did I vote on the Antonacci raise. The answer is that I did vote in favor of the raise for three reasons. The Comptroller’s pay was significantly lower than the rest of the comptrollers in the state, Antonacci made cuts in his budget to accommodate the raise without raising his budget line and lastly, the Deputy Comptrollers are making substantially more than the Comptroller. I also feel that the timing was right because I believe the salary of an elected position should be set before the election. This was not about who is in the position, but what the position will pay for whoever is elected this year.

We all know that New York State has high taxes. Unfortunately, since the recession hit, those taxes only increased, as the state Democratic leaders scurried for ways to pay for expenses, rather than trim spending. Subsequently, in the last two years, we’ve arrived at a one fiscal crisis after another at various intervals due to lack of cash in the general fund. Our state currently carries a $9 billion deficit. Property owners, and anyone who interacts with state government in any way, have been asked to carry the burdens of pensions, Medicaid, education, public safety and healthcare. Our new governor has called for property tax relief. However, this cannot happen until mandate relief is put in place. I’m encouraged that Gov. Cuomo formed a “Mandate Relief Redesign Team.” He announced this during the State of the State address and more details were revealed soon after with a Who’s Who list of 23 people who I hope will propose various ways that the state can change its laws to save taxpayers money. The team consists of people from private business, education, labor and government who have been charged to “reduce the costs of mandated programs, identify mandates that are ineffective and outdated, and determine how school districts and local governments can have greater ability to control expenses,” according to the Governor’s office. These are solutions I’ve advocated for in the past. Some are also supported by the New York State Association of Counties. I’m hopeful the redesign team proposes to apply
Will Barclay From the Assembly the following and more to help cut costs and help the state spend within its means. aEnable schools to have greater freedoms in using taxpayers’ money instead of being beholden to often outdated and nonsensical budgeting methods. aEnable counties to determine services for Medicaid recipients. According to the New York State Association of Counties, counties are mandated to deliver and fund approximately $7 billion of Medicaid costs annually. aRefocus the state’s efforts to reform laws and benefits programs to encourage self-sufficiency. Also, consolidate state agency efforts to ensure the most efficient delivery of services. aIn addition to Medicaid, counties are also required to fund at least a 40-percent share of the following programs: preschool special education, early intervention programs, child protective services, youth detention facilities, food stamps, indigent legal defense services and probation. Also, temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) is required to be 25-percent funded at the county level. Changing these mandates would lower local property taxes substantially.
aStop cost-shifting Child Welfare programs. According to the New York Association of Counties, it costs counties about $60 million a year to pay for its “local” share of child welfare. aPass legislation that would require any state mandate imposed on a locality or a school district and costs more than $10,000 annually (or $1 million statewide) to be funded by the state. I hope the team arrives at several creative ways to reduce mandates on localities. They are scheduled to submit a first set of recommendations by March 1 for this budget year and will continue review until the end of the 2011-12 fiscal year. The team, all who hail from various backgrounds and interests, should be able to pinpoint some of the more costly state mandates. After their report is reviewed by the Legislature, it is up to the Democratic majority leader in the Assembly to see that their recommendations are brought to the floor for a vote and implemented. Let’s hope the majority uses their efforts to save taxpayers money and makes this a good first step toward reforming the state budget. There are only so many cost-savings measures localities can put in place when a large portion of its budget is comprised of state mandates.

Four Expensive Mistakes In Buying Your First Home
Library Focus By Valerie Chism
Lower property tax hinges on mandate reform
to organize your e-mail, prevent spam and use attachments for business and personal use. Fighting stigma According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, “One in five people worldwide have a mental or neurological disorder at some point in their lives. Mental illness is among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. Worst of all, nearly two thirds of people with known mental illness never seek treatment because of lack of coverage or fear of stigmatization. Join our panel of mental health professionals as they reveal how stigmatizing mental illness hurts society from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday Jan. 26. The panel will be followed by an exploratory meeting on setting up a Mental Illness Support Group - First meeting held at 1 p.m. Saturday Jan. 30. See Library, page 8
Those purchasing a home for the first time are most likely going to make a couple of mistakes during the process. That isn’t to say anything derogatory about first-time homebuyers. When one pauses to consider all the elements involved with purchasing a first home, such as credit checks, picking a mortgage, and budgeting for any home improvements, it’s easy to see a lot of room for mistakes. These mistakes can be drastically reduced if the first-time homebuyer, or any homebuyer for that matter, ill do a little research beforehand and develop a short-term and long-term erspective on purchasing a home. A reputable, qualified, and experienced lender can also help prevent many of the common first-time homebuyer mistakes. For an idea of what to pay special attention to, here are four of the biggest financial mistakes that first-time homebuyers frequently make:
Spending Their Maximum
Right off the bat, a first-time homebuyer can get into a lot of trouble if they don’t decide how much money they can spend per month on their housing. It is vital to make a budget and know what your financial limits are. Whatever the number range, it should be decided before the buyer ever meets with a lender or real estate agent. A buyer with a clear sense of what their maximum limit is beforehand can avoid the temptation of buying a home that they can’t afford in reality. Many first-time homebuyers assume that whatever the lender is willing to loan is what their maximum limit
Jim Hosinger Real Estate Today should be. However, lenders qualify a buyer based on their income and income-to-debt ratio. Other factors, such as how much is spent on food, savings, medical care, transportation, and other basic needs, is not factored in to the equation. It is also wise to allow for some flexibility when determining what you can allot to a house payment per month. Many optimistic and excited first-time buyers will borrow the very maximum amount that they feel they can payback, while never stopping to consider a loss of income or future unexpected expense.
Failing to Get Prequalified Early
Too many homebuyers start looking at homes before they consult a lender, which is the wrong strategy. A buyer can save himself a lot of frustration and disappointment by taking advantage of the prequalification process. Some buyers will need to save additional funds, increase income, or repair credit before they can purchase a home. Getting prequalified early on can afford you the time to make some of these changes. During the buyer consultation, the buyer can also get help creating long-term financial goals and property buying strategies.
Misunderstanding the Importance of a High Credit Score
The importance of a high credit score is common knowledge, but many are unaware of just how costly having a low score is. A mortgage lender uses a tier of interest rates and terms; where the buyer ends up on the tier is based on their credit score. The best rate is congruent with a 720 and above credit score, 720 to 680 is usually congruent with a good mortgage rate, and under 620 will not likely qualify for a loan. In terms of a mortgage loan, there’s literally thousands of dollars in difference between various credit scores. The homebuyer should also keep in mind that a second credit check is often done prior to settlement, and taking on new debt between the first and second credit check can make an impact.
Picking the Wrong Mortgage Product
A 30-year-fixed mortgage is the most often chosen mortgage with first-time homebuyers, mainly due to the purported dangers of other common loans. However, the fixed mortgage isn’t right for every homebuyer. For example, a buyer that knows he will be relocating for his job within five years might find a 5/1 ARM a more beneficial mortgage to avoid paying premiums for a product that he won’t need. A homebuyer that is seeking to build equity might find a 15 or 10-year mortgage more appealing. Research the different types of loans and pick one that is accommodating.

By Kelly Cary, BCSD On Jan. 14, eighth-grade girls in the Baldwinsville Central School District had the opportunity to explore the career of engineering when Baker High School’s technology department hosted two Girls in Engineering workshops. Participants had to work in groups to design and construct a cardboard boat that a student could successfully sail across the high school’s pool and back without it sinking. Nine out of the ten studentmade boats survived the voyage. About 50 students from Durgee Junior High School participated in this year’s workshop under the direction of 23 female high school technology students who acted as teachers and mentors. Four local female engineers representing Sensis Corporation, National Grid and Lockheed Martin spoke with the junior high students to share their experiences. Baker has held the Girls in Engi-

She will be in charge of ICFA USA’s marketing and media relations in the United States. “It will be our job as ICFA-USA to submit annual weight records to the ICFA in England to determine finalists in world records,� said Kelly-Ori. “At the end of each calendar year, one American carp angler will represent the States and have that weight recorded as the official U.S. record. That record – in turn – is eligible for the world record.� The current world record for common carp is held by a British angler who caught a carp in France weighing in just shy of 99 pounds. According to Kelly-Ori, other responsibilities for the U.S. arm will be to ratify and sanction American carp fishing tournaments under ICFA rules and create visibility for ICFA in the States. Raised in the village - a fifth generation Baldwinsville native - and a graduate of Baker High School, Kelly-Ori relocated to Massena 10 years ago. Her expertise in public relations and marketing - compounded by her extensive knowledge of the American carp fishing scene - were the criteria for her appointment.

B’ville wrestlers go 11 sectional Dual Meet By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@cnylink.com
Part of the Baldwinsville wrestling team’s status as a year-in, year-out elite program is that it makes an annual appearance at the Section III Dual Meet. Such was the case again Saturday, as the Bees went to Cicero-North Syracuse to join the latest edition of the 16-team classic that, unofficially, determines the best side in Central New York. Unfortunately, the blind draw put B’ville in the first round against the no. 1 seed, undefeated Indian River, and the Warriors proved too much, beating the Bees 42-29. They had met Jan. 8 in the Buc Booster Duals at Oswego, with IR prevailing 52-21. It was closer this time, but B’ville could not make up all the ground. Jacob Norton opened at 130 pounds with a 6-3 victory over Dylan Crowder. Right after Anthon Rafkis (140 pounds) took a 6-4 defeat to Cody Kiechle, Antonio Peck dominated at 145 pounds, beating Jordan Berry 11-3. IR took full control, though, by winning six of the next seven matches, the only interruption coming when Brian Honsinger, at 189 pounds, shut out Tom Gitlin 10-0. Late in the meet, Tim Sposato (103 pounds) won when William Eichner got injured, Connor Ross (119 pounds) pinned Brandon Holder in 1:13 and Joey Shaheen (125 pounds) claimed a forfeit. IR went on to the finals, where it lost to no. 2 seed Fulton 38-27, the Red
Raiders earning its 18th Dual Meet title. In a consolation bracket match, the Bees met General Brown and, by getting most of its points in the late stages, earned a 36-31 victory over the Lions. GB won the first five matches, including Ryan McArdell (135 pounds) falling to Peter Will 4-2, before Joe Nasoni (171 pounds) pinned Austin Moyer in 1:28 and Pat Nasoni (189 pounds) followed with a 55-second fall over Zach Pitre. Still, the Bees trailed 3112 when it made its big move. In between forfeits to Sposato and Shaheen, Chad McArdell, at 112 pounds, pinned Dan Patterson midway through the second period, and suddenly it was 31-30 with two matches left. Both proved close – and both would end in B’ville’s favor. Connor Ross, at 125 pounds, held off Cameron Cole 7-5 and, in a tense final match, Norton needed to beat Brian Lear – and did so in a tight 3-2 decision. Prior to this, B’ville competed Wednesday against Institute of Technology Central, the gathering of all of the city of Syracuse’s wrestlers, and beat the Eagles 62-21. Most of those wins were forfeits –Peck did wrestle and pinned Jamci Vale in 3:52. Pat Nasoni finished off Maurice Russell in 1:36 and James Eustice (160 pounds) earned a third-period technical fall over Lewis White. On Monday, the Bees would make up the CNY Counties League National division first-place showdown with Cicero-North Syracuse, then host West Genesee Wednesday night.
B’ville lineman commits to SU football By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com
Less than two weeks before a decision was due, Nick Robinson, the standout offensive lineman on the Baldwinsville football team, made a verbal commitment to attend Syracuse University on Sunday, less than a week after head coach Doug Marrone offered a scholarship. Robinson stands at 6-6 and 285 pounds, and he anchored a dominant front line that pushed the Bees to back-to-back Section III Class AA championships in 2009 and 2010 -
this after the program went 20 years without a sectional title. Last fall, Robinson earned Central New York Player of the Year honors the first time a lineman ever received that honor. He also was a first-team Class AA All-State selection. Robinson was considering Tulane University in New Orleans, plus the University at Buffalo and Western Michigan, before SU made its late, and successful, push. Robinson said he was hoping the Orange would go after him, adding that playing in front of friends and family for a team he grew up rooting for made the deci-
sion easier. This continues the success Marrone, who led SU to an 8-5 record and a victory in the Pinstripe Bowl, is having as he strives to keep the top players in Upstate New York close to home. A month ago, he got a verbal commitment from state Class AA player of the year Ashton Broyld, who led Rush-Henrietta to the state title by, among other things, beating Baldwinsville in the state semifinals. For Robinson, the official signing day, as it is for all high school seniors electing to play Division I college football, is Feb. 2.
B’ville basketball beats Corcoran in overtime By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com
Mired in a five-game skid, the Baldwinsville boys basketball team was thirsting to turn things around – and for a night, it did so. The Bees hosted Corcoran last Tuesday night, played a terrific first half, weathered the Cougars’ comeback, then staged its own rally and, in overtime, did just enough to prevail by a score of 85-80. Even though it has struggled this season, Corcoran was still an opponent that expected to win at B’ville. So it was surprising to see the Bees tear through the first two periods and outscore the Cougars, taking a 38-33 lead to the break. It all looked to fall apart, though, when Corcoran outscored B’ville 20-9 in the third quarter. Now down
53-47, the Bees showed grit and resolve as, with a strong final period, it pulled back even 68-68 and forced a fourminute extra period. Through the OT session, B’ville moved out in front for good thanks to a multi-pronged attack and continued hot shooting, as it finished with 14 3-pointers, one of the highest single-game totals in school history. Kevin Roy, with three of those treys, led with 23 points, while Willie Hython put up 20 points. Chris Thayer got most of his 17 points from five 3-pointers as Brett Charbonneau hit three 3-pointers of his own for all of his nine points. Kevin Drain earned 10 points. Brandon Reed (19 points) and Shaquille Breland (18 points) led Corcoran’s effort. Snow hit again on Friday, postponing the Bees’ trip to Rome Free Academy, though it hopes to return to the road again this Friday to face its neighbors from Liverpool.

In its last home meet of the season, the Baldwinsville boys swim team had a fair amount of good moments against Cicero-North Syracuse last Thursday night, but still took a 53-41 loss to the Northstars. The Bees, in fact, won two of the three relays. Zach Akers, Kyle Atkinson, David Didio and Nick Tarsel teamed up to take the 200 medley relay in 1:51.43. Later, Tarsel and Didio joined Dan Burke
and Nate Menapace as they needed 3:34.02 to win the 400 freestyle relay. Burke, on his own, claimed two more titles, as he covered the 200 individual medley in 2:06.94 and the 500 freestyle in 5:06.27. Eric Johnson added a victory in the 200 freestyle in 2:05.42. Tyler Smith led CNS with victories in the 50 freestyle (24.56 seconds) and 100 butterfly (1:03.09). B’ville visits West Genesee, owners of a 26-meet win streak, this Thursday night.

Girls Bees top Ludden, improve to 8-2 By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@cnylink.com
Baldwinsville’s girls basketball team turned its attention to the second half of the regular season, and got a much-needed win on Saturday when it defeated Bishop Ludden 66-59 on Saturday afternoon. This followed, by four days, the Bees’ second defeat of the season, which took place last Tuesday as B’ville traveled to Corcoran and met with all kinds of struggles in a 59-40 loss to the Cougars. A perennial title contender (it lost in last year’s Section III Class AA final to Cicero-North Syracuse), Corcoran traded baskets with the Bees in the first quarter. B’ville only trailed
17-14 after one period, but for the rest of the night the Cougars’ pressure took a continual toll as it gradually started to get away. Corcoran also proved deeper on the offensive side, as six players had six or more points, led by Coriesha Hickey (13 points), Erin Kenney (12 points) and Taleah Voeltz (10 points). Just five Bees got any baskets, as Claire Monnat led with 14 points, Maggie Monnat added 10 points and Gabi Jordan finished with nine points. Bishop Ludden expected to provide far less of a challenge on Saturday, and the Bees indeed ran out to a 19-12 first-quarter lead. But just like with Corcoran, B’ville would struggle on the defensive side, the Gaelic
Knights matching baskets all through the afternoon to keep it interesting. Claire Monnat, with 22 points, helped keep the Bees in front, as Liz Giromini, held to four points at Corcoran, bounced back with 15 points as Maggie Monnat threw in 14 points and Jordan earned six points. Natalie Barletta (15 points), Nicole Granteed (13 points) and Lauren Roy (11 points) led Ludden’s effort. Now comes a big week where B’ville has to face two other prime Class AA challengers - first a trip to 10-2 Utica Proctor, led by Pittsburgh-bound senior Brianna Kiesel, in the make-up of a Jan. 6 snow postponement, and then a return home Thursday to face 8-4 Liverpool.

B’ville bowlers topple Henninger Two players with 300 games met each other on Thursday when the Baldwinsville boys bowling team faced Henninger. And the Bees proved better on the team side, winning 3-0 over the Black Knights. Sam Sojdak, a week removed from his Jan. 13 perfect game, had a 258 in this contest on his way to a 633 series. But Ryan Zbikowski fared even better
with a torrid 738 series and 268 high game, topping Henninger’s Bobby Moro, the other 300 honoree, who settled for a 631 series here as teammate Bobby Hensberry (660 series, 252 high game) topped him. B’ville’s girls team also beat Henninger by that familiar 3-0 margin. Annie Peterson dominated among individuals, shooting a 223 high game on her way to a 598 series. Sage Burkhart added a three-game total of 481.
