City beat What’s the cost of your cup? Coffee prices on the rise mean tough times for local roasters Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com Is it finally time to kick that caffeine habit? Coffee prices around the globe are soaring, and local roasters are feeling the burn. At Kind Coffee Co. on the West Side, Doug Nicolasien said the cost of un-roasted green coffee beans is the highest he’s seen in his 15 years in the business. Jesse Daino, co-owner of Recess Coffee & Roastery in Westcott, said he’s watched costs rise each of the last three times he’s ordered green coffee. His last order cost $11 per pound, he said. The increasing cost of coffee has been well documented in the last year, as bad weather
and an overall increase in food commodity prices continue to rise. Coffee giant Starbucks raised prices of its packaged coffee by up to 12 percent last week at retail stores; last September the chain hiked prices on some specialty café drinks but maintained or lowered the price of brewed coffee and espresso beverages. While coffee roasters in Syracuse have seen the cost of beans bump up, some hope to be able to continue absorbing the increases instead of passing it on to customers. Employing only two people, and both of them owners, has helped Recess keep prices steady, Daino said. “We really should (raise prices),” Daino laughed. “But we’re trying to wait it out and keep them the same.” Matt Goddard, who owns Café Kubal in
Eastwood, has not been so lucky. “As far as coffee prices, I absolutely have seen a dramatic change in my business,” Goddard said. “We have had to raise prices in December and will likely have to raise them again in the coming months.” Goddard said the changing economies and infrastructures of the first- and third-most coffee producing nations in the world (Brazil and India, respectively) has had a huge impact on costs by creating record low exports that drive up prices. “Land that once grew coffee is now growing cubicles,” Goddard said. “Labor that once picked coffee is now working in phone banks. These same people, by the way, are also for the first time drinking more coffee at their desks.” The solution?
Employ a philosophy that if people have to pay more for a product, offer them a higher quality product. Adding additional seating space to the café, and switching from batch-brew to a hand pouring technique will raise the standard at Kubal, Goddard said. “I have specifically decided that at our shop we are going to raise our standards and quality so that our price structure continues to be a value,” Goddard said. “Our approach is to make ourselves better in a tough time.” So don’t fret about kicking your caffeine habit just yet. And remember: the more you patronize a local roaster, the better equipped they’ll be able to absorb fluctuating costs. Win-win.

Downtown After Dark Shirley swings at Shifty’s One of CNY’s most versatile musicians, Shirley WoodcockKolb is swingin’ at Shifty’s! The dark-haired dynamo hosts the Wednesday night open mikes through March 30 at the tuneful tavern at 1401 Burnet Ave. Shirley plays six-string acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo and National steel guitar. She also sings like an archangel. Last Wednesday Shirley kicked off the open mike backed by guitarist Mark Gibson, bassist Mike Ranger and harmonica master Skip Murphy. She strummed her Martin guit-box and crooned a cool country version of Guy Mitchell’s 1956 chart-topper “Singing the Blues.” Then she switched to the resonating National for a gutsy rendition of Wilton Crawley’s 1930 hit, “Big Time Woman.” You know, the one with the sparkly dress, the one Leon Redbone made famous in 1975, the one from way out West! Then she put down the National and picked up her Gibson mandolin to back Mark Gibson singing “Route 66.” Not only is Shirley a wonderful musician, she’s also an award-winning jeweler. Her trophies have included first place in metals in the Downtown Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival and first place at the State Fair in fused glass.

Baldwinsville Theatre Guild’s new musical “Urinetown” answers nature’s call with splashy spectacle, porcelain-punishing performances and twinkling musicianship. But seriously, folks, this satirical social soiree soars on every level. Co-directed by Deb Taylor and Heather Jensen, “Urinetown” lampoons capitalism and corporate incompetence in the name of the universal human need to void bladders. Its story is simple: a two-decade-long drought has led the powers-that-be to regulate water consumption by outlawing the use of private toilets. The result is nothing short of revolution. BTG’s talented cast of 24 is led by local acting whiz Josh Taylor as Bobby Strong who leads the uprise after his desperate dad, portrayed by Jon Barden, is arrested and punished for draining his dragon in public. Strong’s nemesis is Caldwell B. Cladwell, the evil CEO of the Urine Good Co., ably played by Daddy Warbucks lookalike Jon Wright. Complications ensue when Cladwell’s zaftig daughter, Hope, played by Jennifer Pearson, wins Strong’s affections with the song “Follow Your Heart.” While the leads keep things flowing smoothly, the entire cast creates the biggest splashes with invigorating dance routines choreographed by Stephfond Brunson. A pithy pit band led by
March 24, 2011
pianist Dan Williams assiduously accompany the singers. Taylor and Pearson both boast expressive singing voices as they ably blend hearty humor with pissy pathos, but the supporting cast also deserves number-one consideration. Bill Ali as Officer Lockstock serves as a one-man Greek chorus commenting on the play’s action. Not only does he ably set the scenes, he also sings like a man possessed on the opening number, “Urinetown” and “Cop Song.” Similarly, Jodie Baum as UGC functionary Penelope Pennywise belts out “It’s a Privilege to Pee.” Act 1 climaxes with the entire company vocalizing different lyrics simultaneously, and “Urinetown” authors Greg Kotis and Mark Hollman wisely reprise that device late in Act 2 when Baum, Ali and Gregg Bilyeau skillfully overlap their voices with Taylor and Pearson on “Why Did I Listen to that Man?” Those numbers ring out impressively, but the musical’s showstopper is the gospel-flavored “Run, Freedom, Run” featuring Taylor and the rebellious ensemble. The Tony Award-winning musical continues at the First Presbyterian Education Center, 64 Oswego St., in B’ville at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday March 25 and 26. Tickets cost $20, $17 for students; 877-4183; baldwinsvilletheatreguild.org.

Celebrating 10 years!
Syracuse Grows is growing
Syracuse Grows is a grassroots network that hopes to help Syracuse reach its urban agriculture potential through advocacy and education. The group is entering its fourth full year as an organized effort and held its 2011 annual meeting Monday March 21 to preview what the upcoming year would hold. Evan Weissman, a doctoral student at SU and a founding member of Syracuse Grows, said in 2010 the group helped facilitate two new community gardens in Syracuse, one each on the North and South Sides. Syracuse Grows strictly helps community members and other organizations start gardens, always in collaboration with other entities, he said. The coming year would see a new growing season, new programs to give community gardeners a direct line of communication with
Syracuse Grows and other groups, and – hopefully – more support from the city to continue urban agriculture movement.
Incentive, not red tape
More than 1,600 acres, or the equivalent of 1,430 football fields, makes up empty lots in the city of Syracuse, said Katelyn Wright, a land use planner with the city. That’s roughly 10 percent of city-owned land. And the city spends up to $1 million annually mowing and maintaining those vacant spaces, she added. Yet when people walk into City Hall asking for the go-ahead to start a community garden, they’re technically not able to do so. Wright said the city zoning codes don’t explicitly allow for community gardens. And if something isn’t expressly permitted in Syracuse, it’s prohibited. “We’re working on fixing that,” Wright told the Syracuse Grows meeting. “Is this allowed in the zoning district, well, technically no … but we’d like that to not be a technicality.” But permitting community gardens means the city will be obligated to keep an eye on the gardens and make sure they’re being maintained. It also means establishing rules and regulations for those parcels, turning what used to be no process at all into a bureaucratic one. Wright is confident though that if the city can offer potential community gardeners incentives like water hookups and liability coverage – and a relatively simple application process

to get started – the formalization won’t deter people from turning vacant city space into productive land. Along the same vein, the Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency is working to streamline the process for homeowners to acquire vacant adjacent land. SURA can sell land at below its appraised value, “if someone is going to do something good with it,” Wright said.

Classical guitar virtuoso Eliot Fisk, a graduate of Jamesville-DeWitt High School, will perform with the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, at the Mulroy Civic Center, 411 Montgomery St., downtown. Joining Fisk for one number will be his wife, Mexican-born guitarist Zaira Meneses. Conducting the concert will be JoAnn Falletta, music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Fisk and his wife will perform Vivaldi’s Two-Mandolin Concerto, originally written for two mandolins and an excellent showcase for Fisk and Meneses on guitars. A guitar concerto written for Fisk by composer Robert Beaser had its world premiere with the Albany Symphony Orchestra in 2009. In the first of its three movements, Beaser has said, “the guitar literally bursts out of the box and the orchestra provides the foil.’’ Closing the SSO program is Turina’s fiery “Danzas fantasticas.” Tickets prices start at $15; call 424-8200, or visit syracusesymphony.org.

Ithaca hosts We Live NY Summit this weekend Hundreds of young professionals are expected to gather from March 24 to 26 at Cornell University for the first We Live New York Summit, a three-day workshop and dialogue event co-sponsored by Syracuse-based 40 Below. Beginning with keynote address by Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy and reception Thursday evening March 24, programming runs throughout the day Friday and into early Saturday afternoon, on and off Cornell University campus and into the surrounding city of Ithaca. Duffy, who is a former mayor of the city of Rochester, will speak about the issues facing young professionals and how to develop a successful strategy to attract and retain talent in Upstate New York. Friday is packed with programming, featuring more than 50 speakers and more than
30 workshops structured into five themed “tracks,” including business and entrepreneurship, politics and civic engagement, cuisine and culture, health and wellness, and neighborhood revitalization. Ben Sio, summit co-organizer and 40 Below staffer, said the topics are completely new programming tracks developed to appeal to a broad range of interests. Registration allows admission to programming in any of the five tracks throughout the summit. On Saturday, the focus will be on creating a dialogue, Sio said. “Saturday is the day we’ll sit down with people and talk about what they pulled out of it,” he said. “We’re doing one day where people sit and listen to a lot of speakers and learn, and the next day where people are allowed to sit around have an honest discussion about what’s going on.” The We Live NY Summit is co-sponsored by 40 Below, the Southern Tier group Pipeline 4

Progress, and the statewide young leaders group We Live NY. Programs are slated for on and off campus at Cornell University and throughout the city of Ithaca. Last September, 40 Below member Dominic Robinson said the 40 Below Summits, which were held annually in Syracuse from 2004 to 2009, was postponed in 2010 in anticipation of the statewide 2011 event. Partnering with other like-minded groups from across the state has allowed for a bigger event than any 40 Below Summit in the past, though the We Live New York event maintains the emphasis on innovative and creative problem solving and a sense of responsibility within the community. For those who have attended 40 Below summits in the past, Sio said, the We Live NY event is completely different. “If you’re coming, you’re not going to see anything we talked about previously,” Sio said. Early registration online costs $25; registration at the door will cost $40. The complete program of workshops is available online, as well as discount hotel information, at welivenysummit.com.

Education, not ambassador The few willing program, needs funding to ‘do something’ To the editor: the needs of the city of Syracuse, deserve our support yourGiven positive article on the new Syracuse We first heard about plans for a statewide young professional and leadership conference last fall, when we chatted with members of the group 40 Below to find out what they were up to. We forgot all about it until we started seeing the announcements for this weekend’s We Live NY Summit started being released. The event, which includes programming Friday and Saturday and a reception Thursday evening, is being held at Cornell University with some off-campus events in and around the city of Ithaca. Large-scale gatherings like this summit often inundate participants with an overload of information and ideas. One or two great concepts might stick and be implemented later, but more energy is spent filtering information and meeting new people than retaining ideas that can be put to real use. For the most part, events like this are best for networking and an overall reenergizing of the handful of people already involved in volunteer groups like 40 Below. They’ll return feeling ready to take on the world, start great new projects, then get burned out because the workload isn’t evenly distributed. See what we’re getting at? It’s springtime, finally, and we are all ready to shake off winter. If you’re not attending the summit this weekend then it is on you to make sure that those who are attending get the support they need to put to use the concepts they bring back. It’s a good way to channel all that post-snow energy you are feeling, and it will help sustain the projects that are bound to start popping up around the city. Did you attend this year’s inaugural We Live NY Summit? We’d love to hear from you about the experience; email editor@theeaglecny.com or post on our wall at facebook.com/theeaglecny to tell us about what you brought back to share with the Syracuse community.

Ambassador program is unfortunate. If the City had money to burn, such a program might be appropriate, but given other needs, especially the school, such expenditures are unjustified. I am 69 and have no children or grandchildren and thus no personal interest in education but the Eagle does. The Eagle is dependent upon literate readers. Given the quality of a Syracuse public education, The Eagle will soon be without potential readers in the city. Far too many students
fail to graduate and an appalling percentage of those who do stay for twelve years are poorly educated. The problem is only partly funding. It is my impression that the city does not recognize its obligation to educate our students. As for funding, I would be happy to pay more property taxes if the result was well-educated graduates of the Syracuse school system. A well-educated population is essential for a real democracy and critical to the maintenance of the American standard of living and economy. A successful school system would address some of the city’s problems. If the Syracuse schools were much better, people would move into the city, the average income would rise, property values would increase, the city economy would strengthen, and tax revenues would
increase. Unfortunately neither the press nor the city government seem prepared to address this problem.
David W. Flagg Syracuse Editor’s note: Mr. Flagg makes an excellent point, and we agree that education needs to be a higher priority for the city and the community. We were, however, pleased to see that the not-for-profit Downtown Committee had finally put use to federal grant funds specifically allocated to the ambassador and downtown information and security center project nearly two years ago.
‘Syracuse Citizens for Justice’ call for action Does Mayor Miner have authority to fire Felicia Davis? It was a crisp bright sunny Sunday in Syracuse on March 20 and as thousands left their morning services, clipped to the windshield of hundreds of vehicles was the call for action by Syracuse Citizens for Justice. Syracuse Citizens for Justice was formed after the firing of Citizen Review Board Director Felicia Davis. Davis, according to multiple reports, was fired because she failed to attend a trial, for which a subpoena had been served. Current and former members of the CRB have raised questions: Did the Mayor have the authority to fire Ms. Davis? Did the Mayor have the authority to deny access to the office by CRB board members? According to many in the AfricanAmerican community Ms. Davis was doing a great job given the obstacles she faced over the years with changing mayors and a revolving door of board members. Community Activist and former CRB member Gladys Smith said, “When I was
Ken Jackson
there we were having hearings, work was being done” Smith went on to say that she “had no problem” with how Ms. Davis handled her job. Sponsor of the original Citizen Review Board legislation, former 4th District Common Councilor Charles Anderson is upset that no one in leadership in the African-American community has taken this on as an issue. Anderson adds: “I have been appalled by the depiction of the CRB director, attorney Felicia Davis, and the board of directors… to depict the CRB Board of Directors, who are appointed by the councilors and the mayor, as ‘moribund,’ perpetuates a negative view of the board. Such depiction shifts any blame from the mayor, who sat on the council for eight years, and now usurps the power of the legislative branch of which she was a member.” Syracuse Citizens for Justice, the group formed to fight the Mayor’s action, has released a six-point statement of charges. Among them: “the Mayor took $38,228
Urban
CNY
from the CRB’s budget,” and “Ms. Davis was never physically served with the subpoena.” The group also alleges, “Juanita PerezWilliams, corporation counsel, was aware of when Ms. Davis would be on maternity leave and was present at a hearing on Jan. 24 when city lawyer Jim McGinty admitted that they failed to notify Ms. Davis.” The Citizen Review Board on Feb. 7, in a dramatic press conference, stated that they, “found the Administrator’s work to be exemplary.” In the message delivered primarily to African-American congregations was Syracuse Citizens for Justice’s call for action and that “she (Ms. Davis) shall be reinstated to her job with paid administrative leave while they investigate the Mayor’s allegations.” The group is asking people to call their Common Councilor and “tell them to give Ms. Davis her due process that the Mayor and her Corporation Counsel failed to do.” Ken is the editor of Urban CNY and a weekly columnist for The Eagle.

Now that college basketball season is in full gear, what better way to watch the Syracuse Orange than when accompanied by wings? After plenty of extensive research, Buffalo sauce drenched fingers and devouring pounds of chicken, I’ve decided to mesh the two together and undertake a City of Syracuse wing tournament in the style of an NCAA March Madness basketball tournament. The field will separate into four divisions loosely separated by region with seeds 1 through 4 based on rankings determined by my own
Josef Pulled Into Lorenz Syracuse experiences and from other online review sites and Internet search results. Each participant will be judged on wing tenderness, size, skin, sauce flavor and amount, balance and heat scale, with maybe a couple extra points (free throws?) for blue cheese and celery. Each bracket will start off with 1 seeds against 4 seeds, and 2 seeds against 3 seeds. Winners will be determined after tallying up the points Zaira Meneses

in each category. The wings with the better tenderness, sauce, etc. will each receive a point and the wings with the highest point total out of the seven categories advances to the next round. If one particular category is a tie, no point will be awarded. To encourage a little continuity, all wing orders will be “hot” unless no other option is available. That is, barbecue, char-grilled, Sal’s, Asian-style, and breaded, will only be ordered if Buffalo style is unavailable. I realize the argument could be made to judge participating restaurants on the basis of serving traditional Buffalo wings, but maybe that will be a tournament for another time. Also, no chains. I’d love to include the “Wings Over” franchise because I love their wings and sauces, but I have to omit them. Mind you, this is not an official tournament or anything. Just for fun and for reference. Results from each regional bracket, the Final Four and ultimate champion of “Pulled Into Syracuse’s 2011 Wing Tournament” will be crowned in coming weeks!

Our newest contributor, Josef Lorenz, first blipped onto our radar when we stumbled on his blog “Pulled Into Syracuse,” which details and rates his experiences at Syracuse-area restaurants. His fair and thorough reviews are the reason our list of places to check is constantly growing. With this wealth of fun foodie knowledge at our fingertips, we had to find a way to share it with readers. So beginning this week, Josef will contribute a bi-weekly column to The Eagle of the same name as his blog. A Baldwinsville native, Josef studied music performance at Ithaca College then moved to Boston. When he returned to Syracuse, he noticed a lack of information about local eateries and decided to launch a blog remedying that. “Since starting the blog, I’ve discovered many great restaurants that were previously unknown to me even though I grew up in the area,” Josef says.

Crews install 48 championship bowling lanes at the Oncenter Complex in preparation for the United State Bowling Congress Women’s Championships, which Syracuse hosts for the first time this year from April to July. Local filmmaker Owen Shapiro hopes to document the tournament and the construction of the alleys for a documentary and is seeking volunteers to help film. By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com Owen Shapiro knows a good story when he sees one. A 102-year-old woman bowler? That’s one. Transforming the Oncenter into a 48-lane bowling alley? There’s another. “It’s something most people don’t pay a lot of attention to, but there’s some really great stories here,� said Shapiro, co-founder and artistic director of the Syracuse International Film Festival and film professor at SU. Documenting the stories that come along with hosting the United States Bowling Congress Women’s Championships tournament from April to July is a rare opportunity, Shapiro said, and he’s looking for interested volunteers to help. The “Following the Wood� documentary project may not result in an actual film – but if it is going to, Shapiro said, the event must first be documented from beginning to end. Shapiro is already working with a group of around 20 student and local professional videographers to film the bowling alley construction in the Oncenter. But a bigger group is needed to be able to
cover the extensive tournament. Shapiro is looking for people with experience running a video camera to help shoot the tournament, as well as anyone with interviewing experience to serve as associate directors. Small groups of volunteer videographers will be led by associate directors, who will be responsible for directing filming and interviewing subjects. Shooting will run through the tournament and through the deconstruction of the alleys. If the material is promising, Shapiro said, it may go on to be edited into a finished product. Film is provided, and cameras, too, if needed. The Syracuse Convention and Visitor’s Bureau will provide parking passes to those helping with the project, so there is no expense involved in participating. And if the film is edited, volunteers will get credit, Shapiro added. “I just think it’s a great project,� Shapiro said. “The social and economic impact for our city is going to be immense.� He expects to hold a meeting in the next week or so for interested volunteers and encouraged anyone interested in helping out to e-mail him at ojshapir@syr.edu or contact kc@ syrfilm.com for more information.

Crunch on a roll Kyle Palmieri scores six goals in three games By Russ Tarby After being booed off the ice at the War Memorial on Wednesday, March 16 following a dismal 6-1 loss to the Albany Devils, the Syracuse Crunch bounced back for three impressive wins in a row. On Friday, 21-year-old goalie Timo Pielmeier recorded his first pro shutout, making 30 saves to secure a hard-fought 1-0 win against the Toronto Marlies. Rookie right wing Kyle Palmieri tallied the lone goal for the Crunch that night. With about eight minutes left to play, he crashed the net and banged home a rebound past an outstretched Ben Scrivens, who stopped 23 of 24 shots for the visitors. Forward Maxime Macenauer and defenseman Mat Clark assisted on the play.  Several Crunch player had publicly apologized for lack of effort in the mid-week game against Albany, but Palmieri put it all in perspective after Friday’s shutout. “Obviously, we had a tough game Wednes-
day night,� Palmieri said, “but we just have to put it in the past and come out here and do our best to get two points. We have a lot of games at home this last part of the season, and we want to have our fans behind us and keep going and hopefully keep winning.� The 19-year-old Long Island-bred winger certainly did his part to keep the team winning. On Saturday night, Palmieri scored a hat trick prompting a blizzard of fans’ hats to hit the ice after his third goal of the game. Patrick Maroon, Matt Belesky and Josh Green also lit the lamp for the Crunch as Coach Mark Holick’s skaters coasted to a 6-2 win over the visiting Charlotte Checkers. Palmieri, who was Syracuse’s lone American Hockey League all-star this season, scored twice the following night in Pennsylvania, pacing the Crunch to a 5-2 victory over last year’s Calder Cup Champion Hershey Bears. Also scoring for Syracuse Sunday were Matt Kennedy, Nick Bonino and John Mitchell, while netminder J.P. Levassuer nailed down the win by turning away 30 of 32 shots by the Bears. Over the last three games, the white-hot Palmieri has notched six goals and an assist and now leads the club with 20 goals in 58
Crunch rookie right wing Kyle Palmieri – a 19-year-old native of Smithtown, Long Island – scored his second hat trick of the season Saturday night at the Onondaga County War Memorial as Syracuse defeated the Toronto Marlies, 6-2. contests this season. The Crunch has eleven games left in its 2010-11 season, six of which will be played at home. The team busses to Binghamton Wednesday, March 23, before returning to the War
Memorial at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, to face off against the Albany Devils and the Rochester Amerks, respectively. Ticket prices range between $13 and $22; 473-4444; syracusecrunch.com.

SAS boys hoops falls just short of state championship A five-year climb from total obscurity to the biggest possible stage left the Syracuse Academy of Science boys basketball team one conversion short of a state Class C championship. Indeed, while the Atoms’ 46-44 defeat to Friends Academy in Saturday night’s state final at Glens Falls Civic Center was nothing less than painful, it could not obscure the rapid rise of coach Onur Gokce’s program. Unafraid of the pressure that just grew with each passing round, SAS found itself down by two points in the closing seconds of the championship game against Friends. A field goal would send the game to overtime. A 3-pointer would win it all. The ball ended up in Jamon Haddon’s hands. Haddon, who led his team with 12 points in the final, drove down the right side, went to the baseline and took a potential tying jump shot – but it rattled off the rim, and time ran out. That miss typified the Atoms’ night, and especially what took place in the homestretch. Only shooting 36.3 percent (16-for-44) against the Quakers, SAS hurt itself even more at the foul line in the fourth quarter, converting just six out of 14 attempts. All that obscured the brilliant job the Atoms did with its own defense against Friends, the
Section VIII champions from Long Island. Mixing zone looks with full-court pressure, SAS forced turnovers and held the Quakers to 16-for-52 shooting (30.8 percent). And in the final period, Friends got just one field goal – but it proved the most important of the night. With SAS leading 43-42 despite all of its misses at the foul line, the Quakers worked it to Tommy Costa, who hit a 3-pointer with 1:26 to play to move Friends up by two, 45-43. There it remained until, with 10.7 seconds left, Haddon hit one free throw to cut it to 45-44. Then, with 7.6 seconds to play, Dakeem McLain fouled out as he was forced to hack Travis Hefele, who made one of his two attempts, setting up the final drama. SAS had a 7-0 run in the first quarter that produced an 11-6 lead. Friends tied it, 22-22, by halftime, then led by as much as seven (31-24) in the third period before Haddon and Kaleel Johnson combined for nine straight points to push the Atoms back in front 33-31. From there, neither side would lead by more than two points again. In a contrast to what had happened throughout its playoff run, SAS never could get center Ahmet Tunali established inside, as the 6-8 Turkish exchange student got just seven points and nine rebounds. McLain and Johnson each had nine points. Costa led both sides with 14 points and garnered tournament MVP honors.
The irony of this grinding final was that a similar thing took place in Friday’s semifinal round at Glens Falls– but SAS survived it, getting a 39-33 victory over Section II champion Greenwich. For a team that averaged nearly 80 points a game this winter, SAS managed not even half that total on this day - its lowest of the season - and still reached the state final because it stayed patient, adjusted its style and made all the tough plays when it counted most. Nerves were apparent throughout the first quarter - which suited Greenwich fine as, playing in front of close to a home crowd, it kept the Atoms in check and seized a 9-6 lead. To counter, SAS looked inside to Tunali, who did gain enough space for 10 first-half points and helped his side nudge in front, 18-16, by halftime. Rarely did SAS get the fast-break opportunities it had used to such an effective degree in its last two playoff games as the Witches’ perimeter defenders stayed right with McLain, Haddon and DeOndray Tape, never giving them room to run. Still, the Atoms nearly pulled clear late in the third period, when McLain pulled off a threepoint play and Tunali converted again inside. The Atoms’ lead grew to 31-25 - and then it promptly went without a point in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, allowing Greenwich to move ahead with an 8-0 run.

But after Joe Estramonte’s go-ahead basket with four minutes left that broke a 31-31 tie, SAS put up its defensive wall, its 3-2 zone pressure keeping the Witches off the board and setting up the Atoms’ decisive push. After Johnson’s free throw made it 33-32, SAS withstood two Greenwich misses, then watched Johnson drive to the basket and convert high off the glass, giving the Atoms the lead for good. Tunali’s free throw made it 35-33, and as the final minute wound down, Greenwich still had time to tie or go ahead. But forward Ryan McFee’s jumper to pull the Witches even was way off line and, with 16.7 seconds to play, Jamon Haddon was fouled. Facing the biggest pressure free throws of his career, Haddon, with a one-and-one opportunity, made them both, and Greenwich could not answer as Tunali sealed the victory with a rebound basket in the waning seconds. All told, Tunali had 17 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks, while McLain and Haddon earned seven points apiece. SAS held Greenwich to 12-for-49 shooting (24.5 percent) as Estramonte, who had 41 points in the Witches’ regional final win, got just seven points here. That defensive excellence would carry over into the state final – and had one more shot, or a couple more free throws, had fallen, the Atoms would possess a state championship, and not the vast disappointment of almost getting there.

Around Town Manlius incumbent wins seat by one vote By Tami S. Zimmerman editor@eaglebulletin.com The recent village elections in Manlius proved to be a tight race between two incumbent trustees Marc Baum and Harold Hopkinson. Immediately after polls closed Tuesday night, initial reports indicated Hopkinson had secured 228 votes and Baum 233. There were still eight uncounted absentee votes and 193 write-ins. A recanvass held Wednesday morning by the Onondaga County Board of Elections increased Hopkinson’s final count to 236 and Baum’s to 235. One of the absentee votes counted, however, was cast by Arnold Ferguson, who died Feb. 25. He was candidate Nancy Pfeiffer’s father. According to Commissioner Helen Kiggins, the board did not catch the ineligible ballot before the recanvass; if it had, it would have been pulled. “We should have caught it,” Kiggins said. “I hate to see something like this [happen].” The Board of Elections became aware of the issue through an e-mail from Baum sent Wednesday morning, informing employees of Ferguson’s death 10 days earlier. By the time the e-mail was opened, the ballots had already been recanvassed; there was no way to tell who voted for whom. Ferguson’s vote was cast legally; absentee ballots are mailed out about a month prior to an election. Once a person dies, though, the ballot becomes invalid. The Board of Elections relies on the State Department of Health for a monthly list of deceased names, but Kiggins said they had not yet received the February list. Additionally, a clerk employed by the Board of Elections typically checks daily obituaries to stay ahead but had not yet reached the date of Ferguson’s death. Had Ferguson’s vote been invalidated, Baum and Hopkinson would have tied, which means the two parties could have chosen to do a runoff election or they could have waived the runoff and had gone to a lot, using bingo balls, cards or another type of random method chosen by the village to determine the winner. Also elected trustee was Pfeiffer with 246 votes and incumbent Scott McGrew with 239 votes. Trustees serve a four-year term. The results were certified March 17, Kiggins said.
J-E school board turns away two veteran coaches Young, Smart coached lacrosse 50-plus years By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com More than 50 years of coaching lacrosse at Jordan-Elbridge were swept aside with two votes at the March 16 school board meeting. The board voted 3-4 on the appointment of Mike Smart as J-V coach, and 3-3, with board member Brian Richardson abstaining, on the appointment of Rick Young as varsity coach — as a result, neither will coach this spring. The first official practice of the season was last Tuesday; the first game is April 1. Interim Superintendent Larry Zacher gave the coaches permission to coach their teams just hours before, while their appointment awaited the school board’s delayed vote. “The players didn’t know they had coaches until two hours before the season started,” said Rick Young over the phone following the meeting. “And now, with Facebook and everything else, now they know they’re coming to school tomorrow with no coaches, and that’s my biggest concern.” Young taught physical education at J-E for 30 years before retiring at the end of last year. He was looking forward to his 31st year of coaching the school’s lacrosse team. Young said he was devastated by the news, though he was mostly concerned for the kids. He’s unsure of who will coach in his place, since his assistant coach, Pat Smart (brother of Mike Smart), told him he now plans to resign. “It’s not the end of the world for me, I can always get a job somewhere else,” he said. Young said he and Mike Smart received little explanation from the recently appointed interim athletic director, Phyllis Danks, for not being hired. She was not privy to the board’s reasoning, and suggested he talk to Zacher, Young said. “I wish I could tell you anything,” he said. “I really am not sure about what happened.” Young said he felt the board’s decision came down to the grievances of one parent, John Stevenson, whose son was a volunteer assistant coach for the varsity lacrosse team last year. Young decided not to have Stevenson’s son return this year because “it just didn’t work out.” “30 years of coaching and one parent complaining and we lose our job,” Young said. During the public comments session of a
December school board meeting, Stevenson questioned Mike Smart’s actions as J-E’s varsity football coach. In his speech, Stevenson accused Smart of favoritism and publicly defamed members of the Smart family. Young said Stevenson later convinced some board members that by not hiring his son back as an assistant coach, Young and Mike Smart were holding a grudge against him. But Young and his assistant coach, Pat Smart, had made the decision prior to the October meeting where Stevenson spoke, Young said.
One board member abstains
Brian Richardson said he abstained from the vote on Young’s appointment because his son is on the team. “Because I was so close to it I felt it was important for me to abstain,” he said. Had Richardson decided to vote “yes” rather than abstain, Young would still be coaching varsity lacrosse at J-E. “Whether he voted no or abstained, I still don’t get to coach,” Young said, adding: “I would think I would have gotten some support from him. His older son played for me for four years, and his younger son’s on the team this year, this is his third year.”
It started as a tabled agenda item
During its March 2 meeting, the board of education tabled the appointment of all spring coaches for a special meeting two days later. Smart’s appointment was tabled at that meeting; Young’s recommendation for appointment was left off the agenda. So when Zacher gave the coaches the go ahead on Tuesday March 8, it wasn’t official. Young and Smart thought it was just a bump in the road. “We’ve already coached the last two weeks,” Young said. “We’ve been out there, out in the cold in the parking lot every day, assuming we had a job.” Neither coach was at the March 16 school board meeting. “It’s not common practice for a coach or any staff member to attend their appointment,” said Robin Smart, who coaches varsity softball at J-E. Mike Smart is her brother-in-law. “In most districts, a recommendation by the athletic director and/or the superintendent of schools makes the board’s vote a mere formality as the judgment of the professional staff is not questioned.”
Support shown on Facebook
A Facebook group supporting Young and Smart was started two weeks ago when their future at J-E first came into question. “As terrible as I was at lacrosse, these two guys made it extremely fun and a memorable part of my high school career,” wrote Brandon Farrar, one of many former players to post on the Facebook page. “… They were two significant mentors to me growing up in J-E. I’m sure anybody else I played with would say the same.”
Superintendent finalists named
Three finalists were recently named in J-E Schools’ search for a new superintendent. The board is looking to fill the void left by former Superintendent Marilyn Dominick, who retired Nov. 1. 17 people applied for the position, seven of which were interviewed by the school board who narrowed the pool down to three. The finalists: Deborah Parker Grimshaw — assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and special education at Onondaga Central School District since July 2009. James Froio — executive principal at Cicero-North Syracuse High School in the North Syracuse school district since 2004. Randall Squier — superintendent of Oxford Academy & Central School District in Oxford since 2005. Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES District Superintendent William Speck, who the board chose to lead the search process, said three committees — one consisting of community members, another of administrators, and a third of school employees — will meet with the finalists and provide feedback to the board. The school board will then make the final decision. “There is a process in there, probably in the near future, that will involve students,” Speck added. The committee of community members includes: Becky O’Hara, Debra Dunham, Jordan Mayor Dick Platten, Gina Clifford, Elbridge Recreation Director Joe Patrick, John Stevenson, Elbridge Town Supervisor Ken Bush, Lisa Long, Lynnette Zelias, Paul Gugel, Peter Drummond, Peter Ilacqua, Sarah VanLiew, Susan Osborn and Tam M. Deorsey. Speck said he’s hoping the decision will be made by April 8. “We’re right on track” he said. The next superintendent is expected to start work at J-E Schools July 1.
