Village board votes to abolish Elbridge VFD

Fundraising efforts keep Empire State Games for the Physically Challenged afloat

By Ned Campbell The Elbridge Village Board voted unanimously Feb. 28 to abolish the Elbridge Fire Department subject to mandatory referendum – an amendment to a Feb. 21 vote by the board declaring a state of emergency and turning all calls over to the Jordan VFD. See Elbridge VFD, page 11 Donovan navigates the downhill course. Donovan’s official time on the course was 37.55 seconds. Donovan’s grandmother, Mary Beth Perry O’Laughlin, a Marcellus Class of 1979 graduate, noted that the games were originally cancelled due to a lack of funding — but participants raised enough money for the games to go on. Thousand, O’Laughlin’s daughter, led all participants in fundraising. “My daughter, Adrienne, was honored for raising the most

money this year,” O’Laughlin said. “… She raised almost $2,000. It was awesome!” Thousand said the state had cut off all funding for the physicallychallenged portion of the Empire State Games. The athletes were counting on their communities to help them raise enough money so they could continue to have this opportunity in their future. “We are so lucky to live in such a generous community that cares See Skiing gold, page 8

Mahoney commends West Genesee, village of Elbridge By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com In delivering her 2011 State of the County address Tuesday March 1, Onondaga County Executive Joann Mahoney proclaimed, “we are coming out of this recession stronger than we went in.” See County address, page 2

McAvoy carries Warriors to Class B title By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com If it’s a big game, then count on Kevin McAvoy to deliver, no matter what the sport. McAvoy’s pitching carried the baseball Warriors to a state Class B championship last spring, and now he can boast of pushing Westhill’s boys basketball team to a third consecutive Section III title. Amassing a career-best 34 points, McAvoy led the no. 3 seed Warriors to a 66-50 victory over top seed Skaneateles in Saturday’s Class B title game at Utica Memorial Auditorium. McAvoy said the effort his team presented from the moment the game tipped off had a lingering effect on Skaneateles throughout the contest. “We came out with unbelievable intensity,” he said. “They (the Lakers) didn’t know what to do, and we never looked back.” No matter that Skaneateles had beaten

Westhill twice in the regular season - once in December, then again in mid-January. When it counted the most, the Warriors had all the answers. Senior Nathan Nigolian said it helped his team not to be the odds-on-favorite - unlike 2010, when Westhill rolled through the sectional playoffs on its way to a state championship. “It made things easier,” said Nigolian. “We had nothing to lose.” Indeed, from the moment the game tipped off Westhill was quicker to the ball, more aggressive and more intense. Only twice did the Lakers lead - at 6-4 and 8-6 in the middle of the first quarter - and though it was 10-10 at the end of that period, the Warriors had already shown that its trademark man-to-man defense could contain the potent Laker attack. Then things got worse for Skaneateles when senior forward Pat Roberts picked up his second foul early in the second quarter. Westhill’s deSee Warriors, page 12

Shared comptroller agreement between Salina, Geddes off the table By Caitlin Donnelly editor@eaglestarreview.com Plans for a shared service comptroller agreement between the towns of Salina and Geddes have come to a halt. Dissent over the comptroller’s pay forced Geddes Supervisor Manny Falcone to remove the agreement vote from the March 8 town board agenda. The decision to remove the agenda item came Friday, after Falcone said he realized there would not be enough “yes” votes from the six town councilors for the comptroller agreement to have it pass. “It’s frustrating, because I am fully on board with the agreement,” said Falcone. He would not say which councilors

disagreed with sharing their comptroller with Salina. The Salina Town B oard passed the comptroller agreement with Manny Falcone a unanimous vote from the four town councilors and Supervisor Mark Nicotra on Feb. 28. Under the terms of the agreement, Geddes comptroller Greg Maxwell would work for the town of Salina two days each week in addition to his full-time comptroller position in Geddes. Salina would pay Geddes approximately $890 each week, or $38,000 to cover Maxwell’s salary and benefits until the end of this

year, when the two towns would again review the agreement, Nicotra said. This agreement would save the town of Salina from paying approximately $100,000 for a full-time comptroller of its own. “Salina has been looking for a comptroller, but it’s very hard to find someone that qualifies because they need to have municipal accounting skills,” Nicotra said. After success with the shared service assessor agreement with the town of Cicero, Salina approached the town of Geddes to form a shared comptroller agreement to “provide necessary services and save money in each town,” Nicotra said. Falcone said the additional pay on top of Maxwell’s current $67,000 salary caused unease among some of the councilors.

Village of Marcellus authorizes fire hall sale By Ned Campbell The Marcellus Village Board authorized Mayor John Curtin to sign the purchase and sale agreement of the Marcellus Fire Hall to the town of Marcellus for $755,000 at its meeting Feb. 28. The transaction is expected to be finalized before April 1. The Marcellus Town Board approved a bond resolution for the Marcellus Fire Hall in early January. The resolution shortened the remaining time on the bond from seven years to five — which amounts to a savings of $30,000 for the town over the five years. A five-year bond is not subject to referendum and does not require a public hearing. “The whole legal structure has changed from a village fire company that contracted with the town to a fire protection district that the town manages,” Marcellus Town Supervisor Dan Ross explained.

The Marcellus Fire Department separated itself from the village to seek town governance in 2005. Curtin said the mayor at the time, Fred Eisenberg, stated that if the town was going to take over the fire department, then the building should go with it. “In other words, the town would assume full legal and financial responsibility for it,” Curtin said. “That required special state legislation, because technically, a town cannot own a fire house.” Special legislation allowing a town to own a fire department was acquired in 2009, but the town has been paying for the building since the change in governance in 2005. The village board also approved a resolution a refunding Bond Resolution that calls in and redeems before April 1 the bonds for the Marcellus Fire Hall.

Board seeking public input for budget Curtin said the financial situation for next year is dire, especially if Gov. Cuomo’s 2 percent tax cap is imposed. “This would mean layoffs and services would be cut severely,” he said. “Plans are being made for an increase in village taxes and departments have been told to cut at least 10 percent from next year’s budgets. I do not know if that will be sufficient.” Trustee Mary Jo Paul said she is not afraid of making tough decisions, but would like to have input from village taxpayers. “I’d be very happy to take phone calls from residents, but I don’t want to hear just the negative,” she said. “I also would like to hear from some of the taxpayers what they really like, what services they would like to see kept, in light of the fact that we will have to make some severe cuts.” Input on the village’s bud-

get should be directed to Trustee Paul, who can be reached at 673-4432 or by e-mail at maryjo2@twcny. rr.com. Village’s snow budget ‘almost exhausted’ The board approved the transfer of $2,500 from snow removal (contractual) to snow removal (personal services). “Our snow removal budget is almost exhausted,” Curtin said. Michael Plumpton, a resident of North Street, expressed concerns about private snow plow drivers leaving snow on the sidewalks. “I know the village plows the sidewalk, but when somebody has their driveway plowed,” the plow drivers are leaving on the sidewalk, he said. “Whose job is it to remove it? The homeowners? The plow driver?” “Well they never should See Village, page 9

Shamrock Animal Fund to honor Fairmount, Cornell veterinarians The Shamrock Animal Fund recently announced its honorees for Shamrock’s Celebration 2011, scheduled for March 19, 2011, in Syracuse, New York. Three veterinarians, including two from the area, are being singled out among many who have helped make the Shamrock Animal Fund a success in its inaugural year: Dr. Kathryn McGonigle of the Cornell University Hospital for Animals in Ithaca; and Dr. Eileen Fatcheric-Burns and Dr. Susan Behrens Losito, co-owners of the Fairmount Animal Hospital in Fairmount. WSTM-TV News Anchor Matt Mulcahy and his wife, Jamie Pomilio-Mulcahy, founded the Shamrock Animal Fund in

January 2010 in memory of their nearly 19-year-old poodle, Shamrock. The fund helps pays for the veterinary care of animals in need that have owners with financial limitations. One hundred people have contacted the Shamrock Animal Fund for assistance from across Central New York in its first nine months of operation. McGonigle is a resident at Cornell University Hospital for Animals. She cared for the namesake of the fund, Shamrock, in the later stages of his life. Since the founding of the Shamrock Animal Fund, McGonigle has been a valuable resource and point of contact for beneficiaries of the Shamrock Animal Fund. McGonigle is a third-year resident

at Cornell, where she is working toward her board certification in internal medicine for canine and feline patients. The Fairmount Animal Hospital has been one of the key partners with the Shamrock Animal Fund since the fund’s inception. Co-owners Fatcheric-Burns and Behrens Losito have supported the work of the fund and provided affordable care for animals with owners in financial need. The staff of Fairmount Animal Hospital, including business manager Diane Smith, has worked hand-inhand with the Shamrock Animal Fund in a collaborative effort to help numerous animals over the past year. Fatcheric-Burns is a 1988

graduate of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and has been at the Fairmount Animal Hospital since 1992. She grew up in Syracuse’s Tipperary Hill neighborhood. FatchericBurns was recently featured on a Pet 411 call-in segment on NBC3 – TV in Syracuse. Behrens Losito is a 1988 graduate of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and specializes in veterinary internal medicine, endocrinology and geriatrics. She lives in Marcellus on property filled with animals she calls Nature’s Half Acre. Shamrock’s Celebration 2011 is the primary fundraising event to benefit the Shamrock Animal Fund which helps pay the costs

of veterinary care for animals in need that have owners with financial limitations. The event is 6:30 p.m. Saturday March 19 at PJ’s Pub and Grill in Armory Square, Syracuse. Tickets are $50 per person. The event includes wine, beer, carving stations and a mashed potato bar. Silent and live auctions include items from donors such as Stickley, M. Lemp Jewelers, Metro Mattress, Cazenovia Jewelry, Turning Stone Resort, Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation and some of the best restaurants in Central New York.

Opinion Editorial

Eat well, age well March is the American Dietetic Association’s National Nutrition Month – how are you celebrating it? We received a letter this week from Kimberly Vespi, Nutrition Director for Loretto’s AdvancedMeal Food Services, that shared some tips about making proper nutrition a habit. “Proper nutrition is more important than ever as we age,” Vespi says. “While good nutrition may not turn back the hands of time, it can certainly help you prevent, treat and recover from illness and improve your quality of life in later years. As we age, we may need fewer calories. However, we still need the same nutrients.” Here are those tips: Consume calcium and vitamin D-rich foods. These nutrients help maintain bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. With age, we are less efficient in absorbing calcium from foods and often don’t consume enough foods that contain calcium and vitamin D. Low fat dairy foods as well as fortified juices, cereals and breads are good choices. Stay hydrated! As we age, our thirst mechanism can decrease. Many older adults tend to limit fluid consumption to prevent frequent trips to the restroom. Try keeping a water bottle with you throughout the day to sip on. Fill up on fiber. Fiber can prevent constipation, control hunger and weight and help decrease your risk for heart disease. Fruits and vegetables are always an excellent choice. Whole grain breads, cereals, rice and pasta also provide fiber. Choose lean protein. Maintaining muscle mass is important as we age. Fish, skinless chicken and turkey, nuts and beans are excellent sources of protein. If you feel you may not be getting sufficient amounts of some nutrients, Vespi recommends talking to your doctor about a vitamin/mineral supplement. For those looking to develop a healthier lifestyle, she suggests starting with small, gradual changes. Old habits can be difficult to break, so don’t try and change everything at once,” Vespi says.

From the mailbag Citizens’ group responds to J-E BOE’s recent actions To the editor: As you can imagine, these continue to be frustrating times in the Jordan-Elbridge school district. As we see it:

Citizens’ Petition Hundreds of residents are asking for a voice in the form of the petition that they signed. There is absolutely no law that we are aware of that would prevent the board from holding a Special District Meeting to allow citizens to vote on the four propositions. Indeed, this Board seems to relish Special Meetings based on the number of them that they have. We understand that NYSSBA told its new $10K a year client (the JE BOE) that the board would not be bound legally to act in accordance with the results of a Special District Meeting vote. It is our position that the board wrongly interpreted NYSSBA as saying it could not hold the meeting. Again, we feel that this is nonsense. What the board did once again in the last meeting was to deny the public a voice during a time when people are begging for the restoration of sanity. If there was a vote of ‘no confidence’ then board members could either simply do nothing, or choose individually to resign if they felt any motivation to do so. If there was a vote to not appeal Judge Greenwood’s two decisions, then the board certainly would have the power to reverse its earlier decision if they were of the mind to do so. (They obviously have that choice now, if only they could find their

If the board opted not to reverse their decisions, at least they would know what the will of the people was. And, if there was a vote to prtevent the 2010-11 board from hiring the next superintendent, then the board could certainly elect to not make that decision before June 30, 2011. They could ignore the outcome of this symbolic vote, but again, at least they would know what the will of the people was. It’s not surprising that the Board continues to roll along down a very bad road despite the community begging them to apply the brakes, but it is disappointing. How much will it cost? Clearly, this board (and previous members involved with the upheaval) did not take into consideration

what liability they would impose on the district if their management coup went awry. Our projection (see it online at eagle-observer. com), which is based on real data and reasonable expectations, is simply staggering. This could fast become an absolute fiscal nightmare for the residents of the district. To not keep the fiscal impact of this board’s actions out in the light of day is to be an accomplice to the dark fate that they are visiting upon this community. More about this past Wednesday’s meeting In our opinion, the members of this group have reached a new low, and continue to demonstrate that they are either experts in manipulation, or inept in their roles as a school board. Observations made at the meeting: A revised agenda was made available at the absolute last minute, and was on a table at the door if you happened to notice it. The revision snuck in the topic of the citizens’ petition. As village of Jordan Mayor (and retired school teacher) Dick Platten was speaking, Erica O’ Brien (rather snarkily) interrupted to let him know that it was the public’s obligation to stop and see if there was a revised agenda prior to walking in to a Board of Education meeting; shortly thereafter, she and Mary Alley interrupted him to explain what “impermissible” meant, as that was the language district lawyer Frank Miller used in his wording of the rejection of the residents’ petition.

Timeless tribalism In 1959, the Kingston Trio sang “They’re rioting in Africa. There’s strife in Iran. What Mother Nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man. … The whole world is festering with unhappy souls. The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles… ” I’m no pundit, no font of mystical information, but I have learned a thing or two about human behavior since that song was popular. Malcomb Gladwell in his book “The Tipping Point” notes that humans have a built in ability to get along with, to identify with a limited number of people. He gives, for example, the size of military divisions from squads to regiments and postulates that beyond a certain number, around 150 individuals, we lose personal involvement. We create for our comrades, our compatriots or tribe the sense of an “us” as an extension of self, complete with protective walls whether material, financial, sociological or psychological. All others become varying degrees of “them.” To further extend this the point … I once took a course with a learned Irish Jesuit, most of whose life was spent in Italy. We were dis-

Ann

cussing the instability of the then Italian government when he Ramblings pointed out that Italy has only been a “nafrom the empty nest tion” for a very short time. Before that, the country was divided into smaller states; in earlier times into city states. Today, he said, an Italian’s first and strongest alliance is to his family, then to the part of the municipality where he was born. They, like the French, need a “man on horseback,” a leader to transcend the parochial barriers of their sense of “us.” They had little sense of national identity, except perhaps at the Olympics. We can identify a modern “us” in the traders who flagrantly immolated the housing market, who sold the mortgages in bundles to other entities and then purchased insurance against mortgage defaults. That “us” became rich. The country went into a recession. The “them” part of that dichotomy finds its current reality in the enormous shortfalls associated with government budgets on every level. “We” are left to manage with the crises that are upon us. In searching solutions, we can see how the idea of “us” and “them” continues to operate. Consider: labor and management, village and

Ferro

county, school districts and the state, government employees and private sector employees. There are vested interests everywhere. There are the wants and needs of the “us” vs. the wants and the needs of “them,” each side putting their agenda to the front. As budgets are tightened, the drums begin to beat: My Needs First. Strident voices in health care, in education, in government and in the business community declare a plethora of coming catastrophes if their particular needs aren’t met. To hell with others needs. Working together in a less adversarial manner, giving consideration to the fallout of the demands of one group on others, seeking the guidance of mediation rather than a more confrontational form of negotiation, trying to find ways to accomplish the goals with imagination and resourcefulness would seem to be a more intelligent and sparing way of working through the issues. Maybe we need a new version of the man or woman on horseback to transform the “ us and them” to the “we.” There are versions of the Kingston Trio’s “Merry Minuet” on YouTube. Google it and enjoy what is unfortunately a timeless lament.

The Marcellus Mustangs went to East Syracuse where they de-railed the ES Railroaders by a score of 7749. Chris Wiles played his best game, both offensively and defensively, as he held the league’s leading scorer to 9 points, while collecting 12 for himself. Tim Taylor was high scorer for MCS with 17 points, followed by Tom Mullen and John Parry with 16 each. MCS is still tied with B’Ville for first place. The MCS JV’s assured themselves of a spot in the playoffs as they beat East Syracuse 46-37. Neal Weeks led the scoring with 16 points and Peter Bartz had 15.

The MCS wrestling team won over Onondaga Central 39-8 in the MCS gym. This was by far, the best match victory this year. Dave Campbell (103) lost 4-0, Chuck Shinaman (113) won by pin, Roger Russo (123) won his match 5-0, MacDonald, B.

He has successfully completed one year of 4-H work. Jim was selected on the basis of a written application. The continued enthusiasm he has shown for dairy work, while working on the neighboring farm of Mr. Francis Eibert, was a contributing factor in his winning this award. He was Secretary of his 4-H Club and is studying Vocational Agriculture at MCS. “Learn, Live and Serve Thru 4-H” is the theme of National 4-H Club Week to be observed during March.

Platten, who has been in public service for decades, indicated his familiarity with the word and suggested that it was not synonymous with “unlawful” and that he felt the board’s failure to hold the special election was in fact an abdication of their responsibility to represent their constituents. Cue the blank stares and averted gazes from board members that district residents are all too familiar with. Conversation regarding the selection of spring assistant coaches appeared scripted, except for Mr. Zacher who didn’t seem to have gotten the memo indicating folks had changed their minds and were going to allow for the positions to go forward (more on this topic in a bit). The budget calendar discussed was an attachment that the public didn’t receive, so even though it was approved, no one in the audience knew the details of what it actually meant. After Dr. Zacher had clearly stated that the 2011-12 budget is the board’s budget, set by the board, O’ Brien grabbed the only working microphone and said, “oh, no, this is the administration’s budget.” During the Board’s subsequent public stream-ofconsciousness debate about potential cuts, there was no discussion of savings associated with each idea. When asked about potential savings, “Director of Everything” Paula van Minos was not able to provide any figures, nor was there any debate regarding the effectiveness of any of the programs being discussed. Throughout the whole discussion of instructional cuts, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Sue

know, there are 12 4-H Clubs within the circulation territory of the Observer? Strangers can become your friends, some friends become family and somehow, some family become strangers. “Memories of Marcellus” by Frank Griffing went as follows… The Post Standard listed some old time tools that were used in the olden days. They showed a log cabin like the one my wife’s father lived in when he was married the first time, that was where Andy Fike lived. He moved from there to East Hill where Mrs. John Mahan lived. The picture showed a rag carpet loom. In my younger days, there were several such looms. My step-mother had one and she wove rag carpets. I ran the spinning wheel to wind the warp on spools and helped her put the warp on the beam of the loom. Also shown was a wood scoop and a wood grain fork. I have used both of these when I worked for George Stuckey. I shoveled grain with the wood scoop and pitched teasels with a wooden tine fork. The picture also showed a tread power lathe. Francis Baker, who had a wagon shop where Glen Spencer lived, had one that he made himself. Also shown was a wooden dash butter churn. I have used one. They were made in what we called a coopers shop. The old buckboard wagons were shown and I have seen them on the roads. When I was a small boy, there was a man over in Auburn who was a rich man for those times. He had a buckboard wagon with a soapbox for a seat. I had seen him driving out Franklin Road. (more later)

Gorton sat in the back and read a novel, seemingly quite disinterested in the process or discussion. Toward the end of the meeting, Alley had to correct the language for why they were going into executive session. She then stated that there would be no further business- only to contradict herself and say “Oops, yes there will be more business,” and upon returning from the executive session they tabled the approval of the spring coaches and announced that they would be holding yet another special board meeting on Friday (unfortunately for the district, the spring sports season officially begins Monday). During public comment, a fifth grade student read aloud an essay that he wrote in school. In his essay, Hunter Simmons implored that the adults stop fighting and start over because he wants to be proud of where he goes to school. Many of the audience members are moved by the boy’s remarks, but as usual the board is stoic. The only comment made to Hunter from the Board comes from Alley who praises him for the courage it takes for someone his age to speak in public – never addressing his message. For all anyone could tell from that exchange, Hunter could have been complaining about the food in the cafeteria. It just doesn’t get better. When legal counsel is not specifically guiding this group’s every move, their own actions are nothing short of bewildering. The feelings of doom, injustice, frustration and that the board is somehow allowed a free pass from accountability by New York State continue to fester in what was once a wonderful school district. LEE BADMAN JE CITIZENS FOR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

By Katy Benson Maxwell Library Director A 529 plan is one way to save money to pay for college, but there is more than one approach to using one. Ryan York, a financial adviser with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, will talk about several of them at noon Wednesday March 16 at Maxwell Memorial Library in Camillus. His talk is titled “The Smart Way to Save for College.” The 529 is a savings plan with tax benefits to help families set aside money now for college expenses down the road. Plans are operated by all 50 states and by educational institutions in each state; however, a plan holder does not have to choose a plan in either the state of residence or the state where the college of choice is located. York’s presentation will look at how 529 plans work and how they can help you prepare for the rising costs of college. Food is served at this 45-minute lunchtime session. The seminar is free, but registration is required; please RSVP to Lisa Louise at 448-3400 or lisa. d.louise@mssb.com by March 15. In health care debates recent and past, most of us have become aware that socioeconomic status and race are integral parts of any discussion of women’s health issues. But what about religion? Sexual orientation? Having Medicaid as insurance? Urban vs. rural living? Of course they are! You can find out more about how all these factors affect women’s health issues on Friday March 18, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., when Christina Rotondo, a registered nurse and public-health student, leads a presentation and discussion at Maxwell Memorial Library in Camillus. This informative session is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. Plan to come and bring your favorite female, too! Light refreshments will be served. Christina Rotondo is in her last class at Empire State College before earning a bachelor’s degree in public health with a concentration in women’s health. Her presentation and discussion are intended to benefit women by giving them a better grasp of the many issues affecting their well being and public policy. Maxwell Memorial Library is located at 14 Genesee St., in the village of Camillus. For more information, call 672-3661 or go to maxwellmemoriallibrary.org.

J-E school board rejects community’s petition Hunter Simmons, fifth grade, speaks to school board By Ned Campbell The Jordan-Elbridge school board last wednesday formally rejected a petition, signed by more than 280 residents, asking the board to schedule a special meeting for a vote on four propositions – a vote of “no confidence,” a vote to prevent the current board from appointing the new superintendent, and two votes to retract the board’s decision to appeal two recent court decisions. Jordan Mayor Dick Platten spoke at the meeting, before the vote, as a resident of the J-E community. “Not for anybody else, I can’t do that,” Platten said. Platten was one of the residents who helped file the petition. He questioned why the board’s resolutions to reject the proposals had not been on the agenda earlier that afternoon, and why they described the petition’s propositions as “impermissible” under state education law. “I find it hard to believe that they couldn’t have a poll to get a handle on what the community thinks when they are elected to represents the citizens of the school district,” Platten said after the meeting, adding that the propositions were all non-binding. Board President Mary Alley said the board had received the information from the district’s lawyer Frank Miller just prior to the meeting, so the resolutions were added to a revised agenda provided that night. Platten said the idea for the petition came to him after meeting with Interim Superintendent Larry Zacher. “He said, when I met with him, I think it’s only the 40 or 50 people coming to the meetings who are upset,” Plat-

I hope my kids had as much fun as I did.” The board’s vote to reject a vote to prevent the current board from appointing a new superintendent as well as a vote to retract the board’s decision to appeal “Scro vs. Board of Education” were both unanimous. That appeal seeks to reverse State Supreme Court Judge Donald Greenwood’s order for the district to reinstate Anthony Scro, fired in October, as the school district’s treasurer. The board voted 7-1 to reject the “no confidence” vote and to retract the board’s decision to appeal “Zehner vs. Board of Education,” a case which found the board guilty of violating Open Meetings Law. Board member Michael Jorolemon voted no in both cases. Board member Penny Feeney was not in attendance. J-E fifth grader speaks to board Hunter Simmons, a Ramsdell Middle School fifth grad-

er, spoke to the J-E school board at the meeting. Simmons, 11, of Jordan, spent three hours working on the speech. His mother, Tammy, said she did not help her son write the speech, but encouraged him to be polite and courteous. After Hunter delivered his speech, Alley thanked him, saying it takes a lot of courage to speak in front of a crowd at his age. Hunter Simmons’ speech: “I am speaking on behalf of the younger grades in this school district. As an 11-year-old, I am aware of all the crisis’s that is going on in our school district. My peers are in fear that one day this school will be no more. “As kids we should be worried about what time recess is and what’s for lunch, however we should not be concerned about our academic future being in jeopardy. “Communities are built around schools. Good schools build better opportunities. For us kids, schools build bonds, friendships, learning and create a better path for life. And once you adults lose focus on what is important, not only will our future be at risk but generations to come will be affected by poor decisions that are made now. “I am standing in front of you today to let you know that the poor morale of this school district will trickle down to us younger kids. This should not be happening. “The arguing must stop. Put your differences aside. Start over and begin to work together to find solutions that will be better for us all. “My concerns are: The new student teacher coming. My best wishes are that she will enjoy working and helping the school, and that she will learn about helping and teaching the kids. “My second concern is will I, Hunter Simmons, be able to walk across the stage as a proud 2018 Jordan-Elbridge graduate?” Suspended principal sues district Suspended J-E High School Principal Dave Zehner filed a lawsuit last Thursday asking a State Supreme Court See School board, page 11

Gabriel, Garn earn state indoor track titles

Hockey Wildcats ousted Seketa, Wildcats earn in marathon regional By Phil Blackwell

SUBMITTED PHOTO

WILDCAT ON TOP: West Genesee senior Billy Gabriel crosses the finish line as the state champion in the 1,600-meter run in a time of four minutes, 16.91 seconds in last Saturday’s state meet at Cornell University. Gabriel beat Chaminade’s Thomas Awad by 3.12 seconds. By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com When it mattered the most, West Genesee’s Billy Gabriel and Marcellus’ Jesse Garn both went to the front of the pack - and stayed there - to earn state championships Saturday at Cornell University’s Barton Hall. The annual New York State Public High School Athletic Association meet featured just two winning performances from Section III competitors - and they turned out to be Gabriel and Garn, both seniors. In the 1,600-meter run, it was Gabriel’s turn to shine. Amid a field of 31 runners, Gabriel quickly found his way to the front, and then steadily got away from Chaminade’s Thomas Awad, his closest pursuer. When Gabriel hit the finish line in four minutes, 16.91 seconds, he had set a new West Genesee school record and was 3.12 seconds ahead of Awad to earn a state title. Garn, who also raced in the mile, was fifth in 4:24.08.

Of course, Garn would have his own grand moment in the 1,000-meter run. Despite the presence of Liverpool’s Zavon Watkins, the Section III record-holder in the event, Garn found his way to the lead and just had enough to fend off Watkins’ late charge, winning in 2:29.28 to Watkins’ 2:29.54. Just behind them was Gabriel’s West Genesee teammate, John DeLallo, who landed in third place with a superb clocking of 2:31.25. Also at this meet, DeLallo, Gabirel, Mark Reilly and Matt Byrnes landed in ninth place in the 4x800 relay in 8:15.65 as, on the girls side, WG freshman Laura Leff was eighth in the 1,000-meter run in 2:58.44. Marcellus senior Nick Huss tied for 13th place in the pole vault, clearing 12 feet 6 inches as Jordan Yamoah (Arlington) won with 15 feet. Also for the Mustangs, sophomore Ryan Manahan won his section in the 600-meter run and was 18th overall in 1:25.89. Westhill/Bishop Ludden junior Betsy Black was 21st in the girls 3,000-meter run in 10:56.01.

So the West Genesee ice hockey team will not repeat its state Division I championship, will not add a fourth crown to the three it claimed in 1990, 2001 and 2010. But it sure went down fighting. The Wildcats, against state no. 1-ranked Williamsville North in last Saturday night’s Division I regional final on the Spartans’ home ice in suburban Buffalo, took the game into four overtimes before finally getting subdued in a 2-1 classic. Many times through the years, WG has won this type of game, using its sheer force of will to overcome the notion that, perhaps, the other side had more talent. Now the Wildcats found itself in another epic a mere seven days after its stirring late comeback to snatch the Section III Division I title from Rome Free Academy by that same 2-1 margin at Utica Memorial Auditorium. As in the sectional final, neither side scored in the first period. Williamsville North, having dominated three playoff opponents by a combined 21-0, got surprised as the Wildcats attacked them hard early, getting several good shots on North goalie Parker Gahagen, but not converting. Early in the second period, the Spartans went up 1-0 on Scott Sims’ goal, only to see WG counter when, on the power play, Nick Holzhauer scored off a rebound, defenders R.J. Tinklepaugh and Robbie Michel getting the assists. That WG wasn’t behind at that point in the game was a complete tribute to Jake Pelton, who kept turning away North power-play chances (four in that period) until he had accumulated 13 saves in those 15 minutes. So it remained 1-1 into the third period, and a long stalemate commenced. The Wildcats took only two shots the rest of regulation, while Pelton notched nine more saves as WG held on to force overtime. But the marathon was far from over. Through two grueling OT sessions, it stayed 1-1, Pelton continuing to sparkle as he made 12 saves in those periods. For the night, Pelton had 40 saves, easily his most inspired effort of the season. A third OT also went by without resolution as fatigue really set in on both sides. Finally, less than a minute into the fourth extra period, Sims, taking a pass from Jake McAndrews, beat Pelton for the game-winner. So the Spartans will head to Utica Auditorium to face Suffern (the only other team to beat West Genesee this season) in the state semifinals Saturday, with Saratoga playing Greece Odyssey in the other semifinal. The title game is Sunday at 3:30. Meanwhile, WG closes out a 19-3-1 season, having notched its fourth consecutive sectional title and knowing that standouts like Pelton, Michel, Tinklepaugh, Jon Lauer, Shawn Lynch, Matt Schattner and Erik Kurz will return – though the loss of Holzhauer, John Sabert, Ryan LaVallee, Josh Duquette and Cody Ryan will hurt.

Donovan is glad to have won the gold once again, but he knows winning isn’t what it’s all about. He said he is excited just to be a part of it because he gets to see his friends every year and go to his favorite restaurant/hotel, The Steinhoff Inn in Wilmington. He’s already talking about next year’s trip. “This event does wonders for Donovan, and all the athletes that attend,� said proud mom, Adrienne Thousand. “The look on their faces when they cross the finish line is one of pure joy and accomplishment. This event is priceless for these kids and their families as well. Our family now has a yearly tradition of going to Lake Placid each February to take part in the games.

medals at state meet

By Phil Blackwell Both Ben Seketa and his fellow West Genesee boys swimmers carried high expectations into last weekend’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship meet at Nassau Aquatic Center on Long Island. As such, the results – a series of medals, but nothing at the top – proved somewhat mixed, though Seketa, on his own and with teammates, set three new school record in the course of the weekend. In the qualifying portion of the 100-yard breaststroke on Friday, Seketa had the fastest time of 57.34 seconds, breaking his own school mark and earning automatic All-American status. But in Saturday’s finals, Seketa could not quite follow it up, slipping to fourth place in 57.58 seconds as Stanley Wong won in a blistering 56.48 second, breaking the state record by a quarter of a second. Seketa’s time was fifth among Federation swimmers. Meanwhile, in the 200yard individual medley Seketa tied for fourth place in the state public meet with a clocking of 1:54.60. He had qualified in 1:53.80, breaking another school record. Matthew DiBlasio won in 1:50.93. Adding to the medal total, Seketa joined Carson Elias, Collin Zapisek and Tyler Zapisek to rise to fourth place in the 400 freestyle relay in a time of 3:13.54, setting yet another school mark. In the 200 medley relay, Seketa, Elias, Richard Maroney and Brendan Marks were fifth in 1:37.85. Individually, Elias had a strong showing in the 50 freestyle, where he claimed 12th place in 22.06 seconds. Oswego’s Drake Becksted (20.90 seconds) was fourth. In the 100 butterfly, Elias was 12th in 52.36 seconds, where Kevin Koh (Fayetteville-Manlius) was eighth in 52.05 seconds. Josh Byrne took 16 th place in the diving competition with 415 points, as Section III teammates Nick Rodriguez (Mexico) and Billy Werksman (CiceroNorth Syracuse) were ninth and 11th, respectively.

J-E drought costly in Class B semifinal loss By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com

Eleven minutes is, in the course of normal events, not a long stretch. But in basketball, it’s more than enough time for events to turn – and for a championship chase to get stopped cold. Such was what the Jordan-Elbridge girls basketball Eagles endured in last Tuesday night’s Section III Class B semifinal at Onondaga Community College, where it took a 40-30 defeat to Cazenovia mainly because it went more than 11 minutes without scoring a point. It was, in many ways, reminiscent of the first meeting between J-E and Cazenovia on Jan. 13, a 52-39 loss where the Eagles went into a late-game drought after junior center Molly Hourigan went out with a leg injury. Now, the stakes were a lot higher – namely, a berth in the sectional finals against Utica-Notre Dame. And the Eagles were a lot more confident, too, having beaten Cazenovia 50-40 in the return match on Feb. 17, the only loss the Lakers had suffered all season. Hourigan would have a strong first half, recording eight points while, with her defensive presence, she shut down any of Cazenovia’s attempts to go inside. The Lakers countered with timely 3-pointers from Ashley Stec, Taylor Malmsheimer and Colleen Dougherty. But when Stec picked up her third foul early in the second quarter, Cazenovia appeared in trouble, especially since Hourigan only had to worry about Stec’s fellow forward, Ellen Burr, in the paint. Given all this, no one could have imag-

ined that, when Natalie Andrianos hit a short jumper to tie the game 20-20 just before halftime, it would be J-E’s last points until the fourth quarter. The Eagles were completely shut out in the third quarter. Burr played Hourigan straight-up and never allowed her the chance to make her patented inside moves. Meanwhile, Stec moved outside and, along with Dougherty and Malmsheimer, took away Kali Davis, who had recorded 23 points in the Class B quarterfinal win over Bishop Ludden but had just one field goal on this night. Only the fact that J-E played its own strong brand of defense kept the game within reach as Hourigan, now saddled with four fouls, finally broke the drought on a basket with 5:33 to play. She scored again a minute later, and the Eagles only trailed 28-24. A win was still quite possible. But the Lakers used back-to-back baskets from Stec and Burr to double the margin, and though J-E pulled back within 34-30 on an Andrianos jumper with 27 seconds left, Cazenovia went six-for-six from the free-throw line to put it away. Hourigan, despite the drought, led both sides with 15 points as Andrianos added eight points. Malmsheimer led Cazenovia with 12 points as Stec, Burr, Dougherty and Raeanne Clabeaux got seven points apiece. J-E finished its campaign at 17-3, and though Hourigan, Grace Dungey and Amanda Wheeler returns next year, six seniors – Andrianos, Davis, Kelsey Richardson, Ella Thorpe, Erin McLaughlin and Liz Herrling – depart, their legacy a two-year mark of 32-9, as good as any in the program’s history.

Westhill girls run ends in sectional semifinals By Phil Blackwell Anything seemed possible for the Westhill girls basketball team in the wake of its monumental victory over undefeated no. 1 seed South Jefferson in the Section III Class B quarterfinals on Feb. 26. That win had proved historical in many ways, not the least of which because it gave long-time head coach Sue Ludwig her 400th career win. And it sent the Warriors into last Tuesday night’s Class B semifinal at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill against no. 5 seed UticaNotre Dame convinced that it could offer another surprise. But the Jugglers ended Westhill’s title dreams, mostly relying on the duo of Emily Durr and Haley

Sehring, plus an air-tight defense, to eliminate the Warriors 54-45. Going in, Westhill knew that it had to find some way to contain Durr, the superb UND freshman who had scored 35 and 33 points, respectively, in early-round playoff wins over Canastota and Ilion. At the same time, the Jugglers honed in on Ashley Cianfriglia, determined not to let the Westhill senior break loose for open shots. In this exchange, like all the others, UND would come out in front. Cianfriglia only managed 11 points, tailed all night by Jugglers guard Jordan Morgan and unable to get into any kind of rhythm. M e a n w h i l e , D u r r, though unable to match the gaudy numbers of the earlier rounds, still managed a

double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds. Just as importantly, her front-line mate, Sehring, hurt the Warriors with 20 points and 17 rebounds. Westhill saw the Jugglers build much of its margin in the second quarter, grabbing a 29-20 edge. Led by freshman Anna Ross, who had 16 points, the Warriors hung in there, but never could make the sustained run to catch up. Maggie Tripodi, Gwen Dougherty and Sam Peebles each finished with six points. Finishing with a mark of 15-5, Westhill went far despite losing two players to season-ending knee injuries early in the winter. And it should make a serious title run next winter since everyone, except Cianfriglia, is expected to return.

fense clamped down further, holding Skaneateles without a field goal for more than four minutes. Meanwhile, McAvoy was carrying Westhill’s attack with 16 first-half points, everything from driving lay-ups to 3-pointers from the corner. “Kevin can do it all for us,” said Nigolian. “He’s interchangeable - can pass, score and play defense.” Early in the third quarter (helped by another McAvoy 3-pointer), Westhill had a 36-19 lead, further putting Skaneateles in danger - until Roberts notched six straight points to launch a 14-2 run, quickly getting the Lakers back in the conversation. Somehow, Westhill kept its cool and restored the margin to 45-34 by quarter’s end, getting a clutch 3-pointer from Nigolian and a jumper from Justin Biles just as the clock ran out. Nigolian hit another big 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter, but Skaneateles would not fade, cutting the Warriors’ lead to 53-46. But with 2:22 left, McAvoy hit one more 3-pointer that all but sealed it, and he added some late free throws, too. Biles finished with 12 points, while Nigolian worked his way to 10 points. Though Kevin Rice had 17 points and Roberts added 14 points for Skaneateles, it never could get players like Paul O’Donnell or Brandon Barron fully engaged into the attack, a direct result of the Warriors’ sterling defensive effort. All those familiar elements for the Warriors were firmly in place during last Wednesday night’s 59-35 romp over Marcellus in the Class B semifinals at Onondaga Community College - especially the defensive part. Long known for shutting down an opponent when nothing else seems to work, the no. 3 Warriors methodically put the no. 10 seed Mustangs away, keeping Marcellus from an upset bigger than the road wins it pulled over SherburneEarlville and General Brown to get this far. Even though it beat Marcellus twice in the regular season, Westhill did not assume that it would be as easy in the third encounter - which likely was part of the reason why it would never trail on this night. The Warriors notched the game’s first six points. Despite Marcellus head coach Jim Marsh calling two different time-outs, the Mustangs remained cold throughout the first quarter, only managing five points. As usual, Westhill applied man-to-man pressure, harassing the Mustangs wherever the ball went and causing all sorts of bad shots and turnovers. The only drawback was that the Warriors’ own attack was erratic in the first half, allowing Marcellus to hang closer than it liked. Just when it was required, though, Westhill’s two top offensive threats delivered. After the Mustangs closed the gap to 22-16 late in the half, Nigolian hit two free throws, then converted a traditional three-point play, giving him 11 points for the half and his side a 27-16 edge going to the break. The game turned early in the third quarter. Marcellus had pulled within 27-20 and nearly made it four, only to see a 3-point attempt rattle in and out of the basket. Immediately after, Biles and McAvoy hit on back-to-back 3-pointers, and the Warriors’ margin was back at double digits to stay. McAvoy helped in that getaway. Of his 18 points, 11 came in the third quarter, as Ryan Conroy picked up seven of his 11 points in the final period and Nigolian finished with 15 points. Biles, despite foul trouble, still had seven points. Marcellus, whose season finished with a mark of 11-10, saw Steve Raven post 11 points and Kyle Hastings add nine points. Now Westhill returns to the state Class B playoffs, to host a regional final next Saturday at Cicero-North Syracuse against Section IV champion Binghamton Seton Catholic. The winner advances to Glens Falls for the state final four - a place the Warriors know well from its 2010 conquest.

have done it in the first place,” Curtin responded. “And the snowplow drivers have been sent letters that they’re not to do that.” Plumpton said he walks into the village and around Orange and Maple streets quite often. “There have been a couple of times I’ve had to walk on the street and I don’t particularly care to … I’ve curtailed my walking quite a bit this winter,” he said. He was also concerned that residents with snow blowers were leaving snow on the sidewalk. “If you’re gonna blow it out on the sidewalk, you take your snow blower and blow it off the sidewalk, I think,” he said. Board approves $31,000 dredging of Coon’s Pond The board approved a proposal by Bat Con Inc. for $31,000 to complete a dredging operation at Coon’s Pond on Flower Lane, a drainage situation that continues to create a serious flooding problem. “Here an accumulation of silt and debris over the years continues to cause the pond to fill up and flood backyards at several locations on Flower Lane and the village needs to address this situation before the spring,” Curtin said. The mayor said the sale of the village reservoir, which took place on Feb. 15, would probably be used to pay for the cost of the Coon’s Pond dredging. Board hires MRB to build composting facility The board approved an engineering proposal submitted by MRB Engineering Group for $99,700 for design and construction of a new composting facility at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The facility will allow village operators to turn wastewater sludge into Class A compost. Village of Marcellus operators Greg Crysler and Ryan Riefler first initiated plans for the project due to concerns over the future of the wastewater treatment plant, as options for dumping sludge are running out. The village currently has its sludge hauled to Seneca Meadows Landfill. “I live 30 miles away from Seneca Meadows Landfill and it is now affecting the horizon,” said Jim Bower, New York Rural trainer/technician, during a Marcellus Village Board workshop meeting in November. Last month the board approved two bonds, totaling $551,250, to help pay for the project.

Schools By Alexandra Novak Alexandra Novak is a senior at Marcellus High School who interns with Dave Taddeo, MCS Public Information Consultant. She looks forward to a college career focused on the field of journalism. Sitting hunched over their desks sits a small group of students working conscientiously on their assigned homework. A steady snowfall begins outside, and it becomes clear that leaving the classroom with unfinished work isn’t an option for these studious pupils. A look of confusion sweeps across the face of one of the boys. After attempting the tricky math problem, his hand is raised, signaling Meg Nolan, Driver Middle School fourth grade teacher and Community Learning Intervention Center instructor, that he is in need of her assistance. After an explanation, and a few words of encouragement, the boy’s eyes light up with understanding. This scene has become synonymous with the after school CLIC program at Driver Middle School in the Marcellus Central School District. The CLIC program is an academic after school extra help session held throughout the school year for all students in grades four, five and six at DMS. CLIC is the brainchild of Lorraine Reynolds, Driver Middle School counselor.

George Mango teaches an afterschool CLIC program session. The grant-funded program is designed to provide a way for students to gain additional support in all aspects of their studies. “It’s really up to the student, Reynolds said. “Some may want to work on their homework, others on their organizational skills, and some may want to work on projects or group work if they need to.” But don’t be fooled by the program’s name and intentions. CLIC isn’t just for students who need extra academic assistance. According to Reynolds, many students come to the program because it gives them a quiet place to work and study. For many kids, finding a quiet work environment can be a challenging experience. The snow begins to fall at a faster rate. The individual flakes that have been falling for a couple of hours have begun to create a thin, semi-opaque layer of snow over the asphalt. With

each falling flake comes the increasing sanguinity that perhaps tomorrow will hold a delay or even a snow closing. The CLIC attendees in George Mango’s sixth grade classroom are lively and vibrant, feeding off the energy created by their instructors, and the prospect of a possible delay in the morning. Review for the next day’s global test is the main objective. Students enthusiastically answer the practice multiple-choice questions. Their answers ring out in unison. There is a drawn out pause. The students sit in solidarity, waiting to hear if they had been accurate. “Correct!” Mr. Mango’s voice yells. This is followed by the hooting and hollering of 22 overjoyed students. Sitting at a table nearby, persevering over a worksheet is Zhao, a faithful attendee to the CLIC program. “I come to CLIC because it helps me with my homework,” he says. “When I get home I can relax because my homework is finished.” CLIC is expected to run for the entire school year. The number of days per week is determined by the grade level. Since sixth graders receive a lengthier amount of work than, say, a fourth grader, sixth grade CLIC sessions ensue four times a week whereas fifth grade sessions occur three times a week and fourth grade twice a week. Attendance varies by grade level. Fourth grade averages eight See CLIC, next page

Other days we have twenty to twenty-five students. The day before a test also brings in a bigger group.� So, does CLIC really help the students? According to participating students and instructors, it does help, significantly.

This followed a 2 ½ hour executive session meeting between the board, Elbridge Fire Company President Bob Chuff and the fire department membership’s lawyer Jarrod Smith, who was retained during a 2hour closed-door meeting of the fire company held earlier that night. In their meeting, the fire company decided to decline the Elbridge Village Board’s request for Elbridge firefighters to contact board members or Jordan fire chief Doug Milton about volunteering under the Jordan VFD. “We decided that given their reluctance to volunteer to continue their services, and hiring an attorney, the village [board] needed to be in the strongest position possible,â€? Elbridge Mayor Hank Doerr said. “We’re under a state of emergency – we can’t ignore that.â€? Doerr said the group of firefighters that declined the village’s request to assist the Jordan VFD does not include the seven or eight volunteers who have been responding to calls in recent months. He said those firefighters are on board. “It isn’t the people that are responding to the calls – it’s the ones that aren’t responding that are upset [by this],â€? he said.

George Julius Mezey, of Camillus, passed away Saturday Feb. 19, 2011, at University Hospital after battling illness the last six months. Born Sunday June 5, 1927 in Szeged, Hungary, he was the son of MihĂĄly and ValĂŠria Mezey. George left Hungary in 1944 as the Russians began their final push into Budapest during WWII and escaped into Germany. He worked there for the U.S. Army and also lived and worked as an assistant to Count Arco. After the war, George moved to Canberra, Australia, where he worked for the National University of Australia building research facilities for the engineering department. It was in Australia that he invented a brick-making machine and started his own engineering company. He met his future wife in 1955, a visiting graduate student from Altoona, Pa, and in October 1956 he married Susan M. Holtzinger and the couple moved to Toronto, Canada. He and his family moved to Syracuse in 1958 and he became the chief engineer for M.A. Bongiovanni, Inc. General Contractor, specializing in water and wastewater facility construction. In the early 1970s, George started his own construction company, building water and wastewater related facilities in and around Central New York. In 1974, he went to work for H. Sand & Co. as the project manager for the reconstruction of the Syracuse Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant. At the completion of the Metro project, he became executive vice-president of H. Sand & Co., a Skanska Company, headquartered in New York City. During his tenure at H. Sand, he was responsible for hundreds of significant projects in the New York City area. Two of the most notable were the rebuilding of the World Trade Center after the first bombing in 1992 and the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of the largest of its kind in the world.

Pauline E. Miller, 84, of Camillus, died peacefully on Saturday Feb. 26, 2011, at Iroquois Nursing Home, surrounded by her family. Born in Williamsburg, Pa on Friday Nov. 26, 1926, she was the daughter of Joseph Krusac and Mary Kasun Krusac. Prior to moving to Camillus in 1963, she lived on the west side of Syracuse for 20 years. Pauline was a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother; she will be profoundly missed. She taught her daughters the importance of faith, family and friends by the way in which she lived her life. While looking for the good in others, she always felt that it was better to give than to receive. Attending Sunday mass, while wearing her finest, was important to her. She loved to dance and laugh. Polly’s playful nature, sense of humor and impeccable style will always be remembered. Polly and her husband, Charles, met while working in the A&P. After raising her children, she was employed by J.C. Penney for 25 years. Polly was predeceased by her mother, Mary Koss, and
