new dates after their original plans fall apart.

The 16th movie shot in Syracuse by American High also stars John Michael Higgins and comedian Chelsea Handler. When American High filmed scenes locally last year, it hired more than 1,000 local extras to appear in the movie.

“Prom Dates” also starts streaming this week on Hulu.

The Northern Onondaga Public Library (NOPL) hosted Jessie Brill, director of grants and policy for Senator John W. Mannion, at its North Syracuse branch recently to announce a $30,000 grant award from New York state. The funding will be split between

the NOPL Brewerton, NOPL Cicero and NOPL North Syracuse branches. NOPL patrons, staff and board members attended to thank the senator for facilitating the grant, which will support enhancements to library infrastructure to improve its services to

the community. The funds will be used for facility improvements at each of the branches, such as a drive-up book return at NOPL Brewerton, parking lot repairs at NOPL North Syracuse, and carpet and accessible furniture at NOPL Cicero.

An annual tradition dating back 103 years, the Liverpool Memorial Day parade has been canceled this year. But American Legion Post 188 will still observe the holiday with a 9 a.m. service at Johnson Park followed by a ceremony at the Village Cemetery, on Monday May 27.

Mayor Stacy Finney pointed to the ongoing staffing shortage at the Liverpool Police Department as the primary reason for the parade’s cancellation.

“This was an extremely difficult decision to make,” Finney said, “but I am hopeful for the coming years.”

To assure the parade’s return next year, village government is adding a budget line of $6,000 for the Memorial Day Parade. “And we’re forming a committee,” Finney said.

When the parade was established in 1921, it was organized and presented by American Legion Post 188. A World War I veteran named Fred Kies coordinated Memorial Day ceremonies for 60 years, from 1918 to 1978.

Current Post 188 Commander Ken Palmer noted that the parade was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and wet weather washed out the parade in other years such as 2003 and 2017.

“At any time if there is severe rain, thunder and lightning,” Palmer said, “the parade would be canceled, but the cemetery ceremony would still be held.” The cemetery tradition involves the placement of a memorial wreath and the playing of “Taps.”

Even during the pandemic, Palmer said, “Post 188 still conducted brief programs to honor our veterans.”

Finney encouraged village residents to consider attending parades in nearby towns and villages on May 27. “Many local villages that will be having a parade would welcome the village of Liverpool citizens in honoring all who made the ultimate sacrifice,” she said.

At noon on Monday, May 27, at Johnson Park the Liverpool Is The Place Summer Concert Series will kick off its 2024 season with a free concert by Off the Ground, a Syracuse Area Music Award-winning rock band based in Liverpool.

Residents living in the Liverpool Central School District can vote during the LCSD School Budget and Board of Education election, as well as the Liverpool Public Library Budget vote, on May 21.

Voters must be:

3 Citizens of the United States;

3 18 years of age or older;

3 Residents of the school district for at least a 30day period immediately preceding the election; and

3 Registered with the district Board of Voter Registration or the Onondaga County Board of Elections.

Residents who have registered to vote with LCSD, and have maintained that registration by voting in a school district election within the last four calendar years, are properly registered to vote. Residents who are not registered with the district can do so on Tuesday, May 14, at the District Office (195 Blackberry Road in Bayberry) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Those who currently are registered to vote with the Onondaga County Board of Elections also may vote in school and library elections with no further registration. However, those who are not also entered in the school district register of voters may experience a slight delay at the polls because they will be asked to execute poll records for the district voter file before they will be permitted to vote.

Qualified voters who wish to vote early, will be away from home, or are otherwise unable to vote in person may vote by absentee or early ballot.

Absentee and early ballots can be mailed to residents until May 14.

After May 14, residents must pick them up in Room 1 of the District Office. To obtain an absentee or early ballot application, or for more information, contact the Office of the Deputy Superintendent at 315-622-7148.

The District Clerk must receive absentee or early ballots no later than 5 p.m. on the Liverpool Central School Budget Vote Day (May 21).

Bonin, Blackwell make notable coaching decisions

Major high school basketball coaching news in the last couple of weeks had close connections to the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool programs, involving an historic arrival and an important departure.

A 2016 C-NS graduate, Bonin was chosen as the boys basketball varsity head coach at Central Square, while Ryan Blackwell, who has coached the Liverpool program the last nine years, is leaving to join Gerry McNamara’s staff as an assistant coach at Siena College in Albany.

Bonin’s hire makes her the first woman on record to coach Section III boys varsity basketball, even though women have often served as coaches of boys teams in other sports through the years.

Still, Bonin has the first-hand experience of contributing to championship teams, having done so at C-NS in basketball (two sectional Class AA titles) and helping the softball Northstars win the state Class AA championship in 2016, her senior year.

After a decorated college basketball career that started at Queens College and continued at SUNY Cortland, Bonin returned to C-NS

Liverpool flag football beats C-NS

For four decades, a Friday night football game between Liverpool and CiceroNorth Syracuse meant going out in the fall and experiencing the rivalry that birthed the ‘Star Wars Cup’.

Now it is part of inaugural season of girls flag football, so it was only fitting that the first Liverpool-C-NS varsity showdown took place on a Friday night.

That April 19 game proved a catharsis for the Warriors, who had lost its first four games of the season but broke that skid at the expense of the Northstars, netting four touchdowns in a convincing 26-6 victory.

Both sides won their lone games the following against the same opponent, starting with C-NS, who got into a tense, defensive battle with Oneida and emerged with a tough 6-0 victory.

As for Liverpool, it took on Oneida two days later a and, moving to 2-4 on the season, prevailed 21-6 over the Express.

Strong on both ends in the first half,

the Warriors built a 14-0 advantage. Then it matched Oneida’s lone touchdown with one of its own in the second half.

C-NS, meanwhile, put together a big win of its own Friday, rallying in the final seconds to beat Syracuse East 21-20.

The Northstars trailed 20-13 when it got back possession of the ball at its own 20-yard line with 29 seconds left, needing to drive 60 yards to have a chance.

Working the sidelines to stop the clock, C-NS moved downfield until, with just 1.5 seconds to play, quarterback Mia Sotoperez found freshman Hailey Dupra for a touchdown that cut the margin to one.

Not interested in a tie, the Northstars went for two points and the win, and got it when Sotoperez found an open Elyse Cook in the end zone for the conversion.

Now sitting at 4-3-1 overall, C-NS will get the big challenge this Friday night when it faces undefeated Baldwinsville, just as Liverpool gets Syracuse Academy of Science after a Monday game with Syracuse West.

in 2020, where boys basketball varsity coach Kyle Martin hired her as an assistant coach.

In three years, Bonin helped the Northstars go 38-18. Then, for the 2023-24 school year, she went to Dryden High School where she coached girls basketball for one season, leading to her hire at Central Square, which was 1-19 last winter after coach Jay Adams left just before the season, having guided the Redhawks to the 2022 sectional Class A final.

When Bonin was coaching at C-NS, the team that stood in the way of a title was not far away, at Liverpool, led by Blackwell, who came to the Warriors in 2015 well-known in local circles for his four years at Syracuse University from 1996 to 2000, where he led the Orange to three NCAA tournament appearances and two trips to the Sweet 16.

Taking over a program which had drifted from its past glory, Blackwell brought Liverpool to new heights in just three years. In 2017-18, led by future Bryant and St. Bonaventure standout Charles Pride, the Warriors made an undefeated (26-0) run all the

way to its first-ever state championship when it won the Class AA title over Half Hollow Hills East 71-65 in Binghamton.

Another era of success began in 2021-22, when the state tournament resumed after two years of COVID-19 related cancellations. Liverpool won back-to-back sectional Class AA championships, each time beating West Genesee in the title game, and reached the state final four in Glens Falls in 2023.

Then, even after the departure of its top three scorers (two of which went to prep schools), Liverpool still claimed the first-ever sectional Class AAA championship in March - beating C-NS in the finals. Ultimately, the Warriors went 21-3, falling in the regional final to eventual state champion Albany Green Tech. Now Blackwell, whose Liverpool teams won 151 of the 201 games he coached, heads to that same Albany area, joining McNamara, who was associate head coach at SU before taking the Siena job in March and has also hired ex-Orange player Arnize Onuaku as an assistant.

Arlin needs a home ronald McDonald house expansion nears completion

Arlin is a beautiful dog with a beautiful name. The name “Arlin” means “noble guardian.” Arlin, who is both beautiful and noble, acquired his name under more pedestrian circumstances; he was found as a stray on Arlington Circle. Arlin is about three years old and weights 54 pounds. He loves to play tug, he can be vocal, and he knows sit and would love to learn more. He’s been an ambassador at shelter events and has done very well. He also rides nicely in the car and is very sweet. He would make a loving companion for most families. We also think he would do best as the only pet. Meet Arlin for yourself and you’ll see what a special dog he is. In order to adopt, you must fill out an application, pay an adoption fee, and have your pets up to date on their rabies vaccines. All adopted cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on their vaccinations before they go home. The CNY SPCA is located at 5878 East Molloy Road, Syracuse. For more information about adoption, call 315-454-4479, email frontdesk@ cnyspca.org or visit cnyspca.org.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central New Yor k (RMHC of CNY) is nearing completion of its $1.1 million expansion of the CNY Ronald McDonald House.

The organization is renovating more than 9,000 square feet of previously unfinished space on the fourth floor of the House to add six new family suites.

RMHC of CNY expects to complete the expansion project later this spring so that it may begin using the new suites by this summer to serve even more guest families in need.

The expansion, which RMHC of CNY first announced last fall, includes six new family suites –four one-bedroom suites and two two-bedroom suites – providing a total of 14 beds to accommodate more guests.

The new suites will enable RMHC of CNY to offer more family-centered spaces to large and multigenerational families while giving working parents and family members a designated space to work remotely during their stay.

Additionally, the suites will provide a private living space to

families with children who are immunocompromised.

“This expansion will allow us to keep even more families comfortable and close when it matters most,” said Beth Trunfio, executive director, RMHC of CNY.

“We are in the process of raising $1.1 million to support this project and, while we are trending toward our goal, we are asking community members to consider donating to the project to help us meet the evolving needs of guest families.”

To date, RMHC of CNY has raised $815,000 toward its $1.1 million goal, including a $350,000 gift from the Feehan Family Foundation Inc.

To help RMHC of CNY reach its $1.1 million fundraising goal, community members can donate online at rmhcny.org/fourthfloo r or call 315-476-1027 to learn more about commemorative giving opportunities.

Construction on the project is being managed by ZausmerFrisch Scruton & Aggarwal, who designed and built the CNY Ronald McDonald House in 20112012.

Go native

Spring and summer present ideal growing conditions for many plants, making these seasons an ideal time to tend to lawns and gardens.

Though it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of exotic plants, avid gardeners and eco-conscious planters recognize the significance of native plants.

Novices may not realize that native plants are much better for a landscape and the local ecosystem it calls home. Recognition of the many benefits of native plants can make for healthier lawns and gardens and a healthier planet as well.

Native plants are built for local climates.

One of the issues gardeners who plant exotic plants run into is keeping those plants thriving when weather turns harsh.

For example, exotic plants may require extra watering in areas that experience drought or even long periods without precipitation in spring and notably summer.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency reports that at least 40 states anticipate water shortages by 2024.

Planting native plants can help to combat those shortages by reducing the need to water plants if conditions become dry in late spring and summer.

It’s also important to note that native plants save homeowners money.

Because they’re capable of thriving in local conditions, native plants tend to require less watering, which can help homeowners reduce their utility costs.

But native plants also require less upkeep, which means homeowners can save on potentially costly, not to mention eco-unfriendly, pesticides and other amendments in order to maintain the look of exotic plants. And though it’s not always the case, exotic plants tend to cost more at nurseries than natives.

In addition to saving money, native plants don’t require as much attention.

Though spring and summer is a great time to be in the yard, it’s also a great time to be out and about. Because native plants thrive in local conditions, gardeners won’t need to spend much of their free time tending to them. Exotics tend to require a lot of extra attention and effort, especially when conditions become harsh. Spending more time outdoors in harsh weather does not appeal to most gardeners.

Native plants blend in with an existing landscape.

Native plants look natural within an existing landscape, adding some instant aesthetic appeal without breaking the bank.

When planting exotics, homeowners may feel a need to redesign their entire gardens to create a certain look (think Japanese garden). That can quickly consume a budget and take up a lot of free time in both the short- and long-term.

Planting season marks a great time to revitalize a landscape. Choosing native plants when doing so pays numerous dividends for homeowners and the planet they call home.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

hErE CoMES ThE SuN?

It’s that shoulder season, the time when winter has worn out its welcome and spring is only intermittent thoughts on warmer afternoons. There are the signs. The daffodils are up, as are the first snowdrops. A lonely azalea brightens a corner under the rhododendrons and the rhubarb is poking its first leaves through the winter’s leavings. But I’m still in winter mode.

I am so looking forward to leaving the house without my winter apparel. Put the heavy coat, the hat, gloves and boots away! As it is every year, the hint of warmth and sun is an annoying tease, hope poking through an off-and-on basis while the windows stay shut to keep out the remaining cold. You know what it is like on those teasingly-infrequent warm and sunny days. All seems possible. Being comfortably outside, windows open, taking a walk, greeting friends who, like you, have been sequestered for the season, not by pathogens, but by the fear of the slipperiness of ice and maturing feet, knees and hips.

So? What to do? Can this yearning for spring mean more anxiety in a world filled with troubles?

It’s still winter, not by the calendar, but by temperatures. Staying inside is really the best option and willing myself to enjoy the things that are associated with winter’s limits seems right. I’ll make a hearty beef stew with biscuits and maybe, if the energy lasts, an apple pie. I may dream of a lovely, light chicken salad with fresh lettuce accompanied by the sound of ice in glasses filled with sweet tea on the porch, contemplating a visit to the bowling alley for ice cream, but there is nothing wrong with my winter-focused menu and if the sun’s turning continues as it has … there will be time for chicken salad on the porch.

I’ll do as my neighbor’s cat does and seek out the best environment to luxuriate in what it has to offer. “Sneakers,” the famous cat, at least

in our house, whose address is a few houses away, spends his days chasing the sun on our deck and our porch or hard up to the side of another neighbor’s sunlit basement wall. And, every once in a while, I will surprise Mr. Sneakers with some treats. My old friend Linda Landinez called it “cat crack” or a cat’s delight. My version of Sneakers will be inside. I’ll finish that book I started a month ago, comfortably ensconced in the love seat in the living room … a cup of Red Rose tea by my side. I’ll finish cleaning out my office, divesting myself of the accumulation of years of stuff that I will never use. That, in itself, is like opening a window on a warm day.

And, courtesy of the Marcellus Free Library, I will experience my own version of the delight of surprise. I picked up my Book Box this week, but I hadn’t opened it. Today was a good choice for that. And delight it was. Inside my Book Box were lovely unexpected gifts embellishing a theme, this month’s theme being “Lov-

ing Local” featuring romance writers from Central New York.Inside was a book by Oneida-based Jo McNally with a hand crocheted book mark, two pencils joyously decorated with faux flowers and a butterflies, a sweet candle, three chocolates and a tote bag. I was and am charmed by these treasures. So…now I have prompts for other days when the weather is not what I wish, opportunities to explore integrating this swag into my life. Of course, the chocolates will be the first to go, since warm weather can cause it to melt. I should sign up for the next Book Box, but then there are others who might enjoy a trip to delights whatever the weather. It goes back again to the idea of doing what you can with where you are and what you have. Makes sense. Did I hear geese flying north?

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

New Herbal Center celebrates legalization

When I was growing up here in the 1950s and ’60s, my family filled all of our prescriptions at Foley’s Rexall Drug Store at 612 Oswego St. Now that landmark location at the busy corner of Tulip Street once again houses a drugstore.

opened on 4/20

Lower-case thc: The Herbal Center opened for business on the auspicious date of April 20. At the entrance visitors are welcomed by a poster for the 1936 film “Reefer Madness” and a mural-size photograph of a “legalise pot” demonstration.

Inside, the front room features glass bongs and water-pipes, various vaping gear and accessories, lubes, tinctures and topicals. The paraphernalia appears to be good quality and the prices reasonable.

After registering for a thc membership – a simple process of sharing your name and driver’s license – members are admitted to the back room where product is abundant.

Staff at the dispensary –Rebecca, Trey, Alison, Jordan and Dominick – are all personable and knowledgeable about their inventory.

The center offers several dozen brands of edibles, at

different strength levels and various flavors of gummies and the old standby, chocolate. A jar of 10 thc brand strawberry lemon gummies, measured at 10mg each, will set you back $24.

Flowers aka buds

Turn left from the edibles, and you’ll see an array of what the staff calls “flowers,” but I call “buds.” Encased in half-cup-size clear-plastic cases, the buds are dense and dusted with silver keef crystals. The cases can be snapped open for a sniff of the flowers’ aroma.

Each of the two-dozen cases is labeled to identify the species of each bud as either indica, sativa or a hybrid. For instance the cozzimotto bud is a blend of sativa and hybrid. While coconut horchata is a mix of indica and hybrid. Galaxy is all-hybrid.

The Herbal Center franchise was established 15 years ago in Denver, Colo., after its owners found that flower selection there was severely lacking. “We made it our mission to offer a selec-

To the editor:

Thank you to Jason Gabak for informing readers about the Earth Day cleanup on Onodaga Lake. Lake Onodaga is an inspiring example of how we can fix past mistakes. Whenever I visit a body of water, I gather trash, most of it plastic, and feel satisfied because I can see the difference I have made.

And yet, I also know that as long as the plastic tap is turned on, more plastic will clog up all bodies of water. We will clean up and clean up and clean up, until our legislators respond to the plastic

tion of connoisseur-quality exotics to the community,” according to the thc website.

The Herbal Center operates two shops in Colorado, and others across the country. The Liverpool store is affiliated with the Herbal Center at 918 N. Salina St. in Syracuse.

Both recreational and medical marijuana are now legal in New York. On March 31, 2021, the state passed cannabis reform with the signing of the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act.

Welcome to the 21st century!

Murky future here

But the future of the Herbal Center’s future in the village remains murky at best.

That’s because three years ago, the Village Board of Trustees – five Republicans all – voted unanimously to prohibit pot shops from operating here.

The board’s “cannabis opt-out” decision passed on Sept. 20, 2021, states that the board “opts out of allowing retail cannabis dispensaries and on-site cannabis consumption establishments from locating and operating within the boundaries of the village of Liverpool.”

crisis and turn off the tap.

The New York State assembly is currently considering such a bill. The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (s4246-b/A5322b) will reduce single use plastic in New York state by 50% in twelve years. Less plastic production will mean less plastic trash washing into our lakes. It also means our kids will be exposed to less microplastics in their snacks.

While the bill is popular with New Yorkers and has a majority of co-sponsors in both the senate and the assembly, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and

opened for business, Village Hall staff were well-aware of the dispensary’s activities, but had not yet decided how to deal with it.

Back in 2021, when the trustees “opted out,” one wellknown local Democrat, Mark Spadafore, wrote a letter to the editor suggesting that the village should open its arms to the emerging cannabis industry. Emphasizing that he had no personal interest in marijuana, he argued that the village would lose out on future tax revenues by rejecting dispensaries.

Maybe we’ll find out sooner than later if the new Democrat-dominated Board of Trustees plan to follow Spadafore’s common-sense advice.

Last word “I don’t think it makes sense to ban dispensaries in the village. That’s tax revenue. I’m not saying this because I use marijuana – I have never used it and don’t intend to. But if we have liquor stores, why forgo marijuana? If the City of Syracuse is the only one to have these facilities, we are giving up all of that tax revenue to them. We should have that money here.”

–Liverpool resident Mark Spadafore

Senate Speaker Andrea Stweart-Cousins have not brought the bill to a vote. They are getting lobbied hard because the plastic industry doesn’t want New York to turn off the tap. It’s time for citizens to demand action. It’s time to do more than clean up (again and again.) It’s time for our legislators to reduce the plastic that is clogging our lakes and streams and trashing our children’s futures. Let’s pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act.

Jennifer is survived by her husband of 29 years, Bruce; her parents, Donald and Carol Hines; her sisters, Deanna (Tim) Ware, Michele Frawley, Pam Power and Jeneane Lach; her brother, Scott Masclee; her motherin-law, Jelenne Cook; sister-in-law, TJ

Howie was in constant demand by nationally known entertainers who performed in the Central New York area and hired local musicians to accompany them. He was especially proud of playing with musicians such as Nick Palumbo, Marion McPartland, Eddie Higgins, Danny D’Imperial and Bobby Doyle, among many others.

For those fortunate enough to know Howie and Sonnie, their home was a welcome respite for showbiz performers coming through town, and hockey players needing the comfort of home. They had a wonderful knack for making friends quickly feel like family as soon as you walked through their door.

Counting the playoffs (and there were a lot of playoffs), Sterling’s streak reached 5,060, and he eventually got to 5,631 before announcing his retirement on April 18.

Division titles, pennants, World Series, a couple of perfect games, two players that passed 3,000 career hits…. Sterling saw and called all of it, giving it a narration no one else could match, or try to.

More than all the other sports, base -

ball is tied to its voices, especially those on radio who work close to 200 times a year spinning a long, complex narrative.

Do that well, and you become part of your fans’ lives in a way no one else can.

Sterling was perfect for the Yankees. He didn’t spin marvelous stories like Vin Scully, didn’t have a homespun drawl like Red Barber or Ernie Harwell, didn’t blend into the bleachers the way Harry Caray did in St. Louis and Chicago.

To Sterlnig, it was all a performance. Though he didn’t need it, he always wore a suit and tie, and if he substituted excitement for perfect accuracy, not a single Yankees fan minded.

Besides, the calls were memorable enough.

Home runs…they were high…they were far…they were gone!

Once they were, you never knew if you were going to get a clever play on words or, better yet, Sterling breaking into song.

progress, media options and shorter attention spans. What Sterling’s career best represents is the sheer importance of being there

Through all the decades, alongside the likes of Michael Kay, Charlie Steiner and especially Suzy Waldman, Sterling did the most respectful thing of all.

Even more than the players he chronicled, Sterling got dressed (up) early, showed up early, picked up all the tidbits in the clubhouse, then went up to the booth and gave his all, and took fans with him on that journey.

Yes, Sterling was fortunate to see a lot of winning.

Yet he also saw the dark times of the early 1990s, the ninth inning of Game 7 in Arizona in 2001, the surrender of the 3-0 lead to the Red Sox in 2004, the 15 years since the last title in 2009.

Yankees fans loved all of it. Opposing fans….well, if Mel Allen in earlier times represented the imperial championship wall in the Bronx, so did Sterling, and he punctuated every victory, even in early April, as if were late October and another banner was going to get added to the other 27.

Most of the great voices are now part of baseball’s past.

A sport so enamored with, and tied to, its history is now described by people who are unlikely to stir the same kind of emotions, a steep price for

He saw enough of the game that, when he said “That’s baseball, Suzy”, he meant each of those three words. Now, with that big-screen TV the club gave him and that commemorative uniform with 5,631 on the back, John Sterling has truly earned a chance to take some time off.

Heaven knows he’s earned it more than others, though if you listen closely, I bet you can still hear him. That voice was impossible to miss, and never to be forgotten.

The “Top Guns” and “Golf’s Ironman”… Are coming on Monday, June 24

e Top Senior male and female golfers and legends in CNY will be hosted, recognized and honored at the “BREAK THE BANK SHOOTOUT” at the Lakeshore Yacht & Country Club on June 24, 2024. Seven-time Guinness World Record Holder, Bob Kurtz (golf’s o cial Ironman), will be the featured speaker at the awards dinner following the event to talk about his life experiences including, his days at ESPN, PGA Tour Champions, setting Guinness World Records in Golf and his passion…helping those less fortunate, especially children and families facing homelessness. One of Bob’s records that will be very di cult to beat is playing 1,850 holes of golf…”IN ONE WEEK”! Do the math! at’s an average of just over 264 holes a day. e other record Bob believes will be tough to beat is shooting his age 7 times…IN ONE DAY! He said it took him ten - 18 hole rounds to do it. Bob will conduct an exhibition of his skills on the 1st tee at Lakeshore before the competition begins and take questions from the players and spectators in attendance. He will also be sharing the podium that evening with yours truly, as Master of Ceremonies, to present the Bill Noun “Humanitarian” Award to a very special, well known and respected leader in CNY.

e “BREAK THE BANK SHOOTOUT” is an “Invitational” that will be the rst of its kind in CNY because, it will o er the Senior amateurs the opportunity to play for CASH.

Approximately 60 players will be competing for several thousand dollars in cash and prizes. e exact amount will be disclosed on or before June 1, 2024. Invitations for the golfers will be sent out early in May.
