Jordan voters elect two new trustees By Ned Campbell Village of Jordan voters elected two new trustees Tuesday March 15. Cindy Milton, with 53 votes, was elected to the four-year term held for the past 20 years by Patrick Mooney, who decided not to Catherine Ferris run this year. “He was a good trustee,” said village of Jordan clerk Linda Boehm. “He served a lot of years.” Catherine Ferris fills the two-year term left open by former trustee Mary Seeley, who resigned to move Cindy Milton to North Carolina.

Marcellus Schools scores high on annual report Superintendent looks to keep district’s performance up through budget crisis By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com School district report cards were recently released for primary schools across New York State. The evaluations covered each school in the district, rating their performance and examination scores for math, science, English-language arts as well as information on enrollment and attendance. Marcellus Central School District students
scored well this past year; 159 teachers instructed 1988 pupils among the three facilities. Enrollment in each school has been slowly declining, but the students have consistently posted strong scores. Superintendent Craig Tice says compared to enrollment patterns at other school districts, Marcellus is in good shape. “For many districts, they’ve seen a sharper decline … we’re pretty fortunate,” Tice said. “So far Marcellus is still a desirable community [to

The district eliminated 18 full-time positions over the past two years to adjust to declining enrollment. Marcellus graduates a high percentage of its students. Its graduation rate in 2008-09 was 97 See Report, page 22

Two years ago, Rita Kimak of Syracuse was a healthy and active young woman. She and her husband Andy both held fulfilling jobs. They had just joined St. Joseph’s Church in Camillus, where Rita still volunteers as coordinator for the third grade religious education program. Then, Rita started to experience troubling physical symptoms. She developed severe headaches, and chronic pain in her back, arms and legs. Medications did little to alleviate the pain, which was becoming stronger and almost unbearable. The cause of her symptoms remained unidentified for months. Rita was diagnosed with both Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting the body’s connective tissue, and syringomyelia, a progressive disorder of the spinal cord. Syringomyelia develops when cerebrospinal fluid enters the spinal cord, forming and filling a cavity called a syrinx. As fluid continues to collect, the nerve fibers in the spinal cord are damaged, resulting in muscle weakness, joint stiffness, decreased mobility and even paralysis. Chronic back pain is common, as is the inability to feel pain and temperature in the arms and hands. While neither condition is curable, syringomyelia can sometimes be treated surgically. Rita has suffered from many of these symptoms for the past year or so. She hopes to escape the more frightening and debilitating

Opinion Editorial
Fuel saving tips
As the warmer weather arrives, many will have the urge to visit local parks, plan trips and get away for long weekends. However, with the price of gasoline rising, it would be wise for vehicle owners to consider the following tips to maximize the efficiency of vehicles before hitting the road. Drive sensibly Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by five percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money. Observe the speed limit While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 miles per hour. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each five mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas. Remove excess weight Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your miles per gallon by up to two percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle’s weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones. Avoid excessive idling Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines. Use cruise control Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas. Use overdrive gears When you use overdrive gearing, your car’s engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear. These tips were taken from fueleconomy.gov.

Hurry, spring! Our narrow, tree-lined camp road is still slumbering under its winter blanket, waiting for a string of warm days to melt the still pristine snow. The cottage at its end, hard by the lake, also waits, home, perhaps to small critters who sought shelter against the season’s precipitation and frigid temperatures. The lake, never alone, speaks only in its almost springtime voice, accented by calls of returning wildlife. The winter has been long, cold and dispiriting, sometimes so much so that even thoughts of summer moments were impossible. Will it ever be warm again? Will we ever be able to find solace in the feel of sun on our backs as we dig our hands in the soil, luxuriating in the smell of the born again earth? Can we conjure planting and caring for our gardens, of eating from the table of local bounty? Can we recall what a tomato from the garden smells like,

Lawns and garden beds will reappear with the detritus of winter demanding attention. A new kind of “to do” list will appear and the dirt tracked in will change to grass clippings and garden soil. I am beginning to dream of the summer to come, my family, my children and grandchildren sharing the joy of togetherness in our rustic retreat.

remember the sounds of summer, the soft splash of water against the shoreline, the screams and laughter of children, ice in glasses, the whirr of the fans in summer bedrooms, spring peepers, crickets, cicadas in the trees and birds calling to their young to fly with them. No TV, no central air or any air conditioning for that matter. We are people who go to the lake because it is simpler, because the spaces are simple, the furniture is old, even shabby but still useful. We go because we can forgo the trappings of a digital world, despite the omnipresence of cell phone, iPads and such. When a soft breeze calls us to play scrabble on the dock or a mirror clear lake invites a kayak ride, or when friends appear to spend time, and at our ages, time is a valuable commodity, we feel blessed. Hurry is a forbidden word, a taboo idea… except now when I want the sun to hurry its job on those narrow camp roads.
Marcellus Memories
50 years ago, 1961 Miss Nancy Lee Vile, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Vile of Rose Hill became the bride of Earl J. Thorpe, son of Mr. Carl Thorpe and the late Mrs. Beatrice Thorpe of Marcellus in the St. Francis Xavier Church. Miss Monica Vile was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Joan Olmsted and Miss Betty Lou Larkin. Miss Dorees Vile was the flower girl. Carl Thorpe, Jr. was the best man. Ushers were David Thorpe and David Kershaw. Raymond Cook was the ring bearer. The long awaited clash between Marcellus and Baldwinsville, cochampions of the AB Division in regular season play came off at the North Syracuse court. In a lowscoring first half, the Mustangs were stalled by a zone defense used by the B’Ville Bees and led at half-time 17-16. The Mustangs showed their class as they scored 44 points in the second half and used the zone on B’Ville to romp to a 61 - 38 victory. B’Ville was able to score only 3 points in the third period while the Mustangs garnered 20. Tom Mullen led the Mustangs with 19 points. John Parry and Dave Driver had 16 and 11 respectively. The Marcellus Mustangs were eliminated in the first round of the Section 3 Tournament in a startling upset by the Jamesville-DeWitt Red Rams in an overtime battle 66-64. The Mustangs, County Champs and Class A finalists last year, were beaten at the foul line as J-D dropped 24 shots while the Mustangs only had 10. The game was played on the West Genesee court. Five Mustangs had double figures, led by John Parry

Also accept the different roads others may choose to follow. “Memories of Marcellus” by Frank Griffing went as follows… When I was a young boy, farmers grew tobacco in Onondaga County. It was a good cash crop. Of course, in some years, it was better than others. Tobacco was a nice crop to work in. The plants were grown in beds like cabbage plants and were set the same. In my younger days, they were set by hand with a wooden peg. As the crop grew, it had to be cultivated and hoed. When the crop was ready to harvest, a man would cut each plant with tobacco shears and then others would gather and string on four foot lath which with a sharp spud placed on the end of the lath, they would hang the tobacco on a rack on the wagon and draw it to the barn and hang it on poles from the roof. It was left there to dry out and when it was ready to be sold, it was taken down and delivered to the man that bought it. Sometimes a hail storm would damage the leaves and then the crop would not bring as much money. Nate Shepard had a tobacco sorting house over on Howlett Hill Road. Shepard bought lots of tobacco and had several men sorting and packing for shipping. There were lots of tobacco raised over around B’Ville. I don’t think there is any grown there now. The last man that I knew of around here was Will Schneider over in Shepard

Settlement. The MCS County Championship Basketball team was honored at a testimonial dinner on April 5. Sponsoring the event were members of three Marcellus service groups, the Citizens Club, the Optimists Club and the Rotary Club. The dinner was open to the public and held in the school cafeteria. The affair was to honor the boys for having brought the first county championship in basketball to Marcellus. The program featured a speaker outstanding in the field of sports. General chairman for the affair was Mr. Robert Sheridan. Parents, friends and supporters were urged to make their reservations early for the event to honor the team. Winning the Optimist Bantam League Bowling Title were Louanne Kilcoyne, Margie Reddick, Ellen Macholl, Nancy Stevens, Cindy Groeling and Sheila Clark. Cindy Groeling had the high single game of 165 and Sheila Clark had the high average of 107 in the league. The Marcellus Historical Society was asking the community if anyone had any pictures, news items or mementos about the Marcellus Civil War soldiers. They were also asking for information on the Powder Mill at Marcellus Falls. They wanted more info on what took place in Marcellus during the Civil War years. They wanted the info to use in the Marcellus Observer for the observance of the Civil War Centennial. Strive to maintain perspective on problems that arise. You will then be able to act on them more effectively. Do not allow little irritations to consume your thoughts.

Multi-school tournaments are also held on a weekly basis. Other participating schools include Skaneateles, Fabius, Onondaga, Lafayette, Cortland, West Genesee, Jamesville-Dewitt, Homer, Port Byron and Jordan-Elbridge.

I recently signed onto legislation that, if passed, would require those applying for public assistance to undergo a drug test. This is a small request to make of any applicant seeking public assistance. If the applicant tests positive for drug use, this would help him or her receive access to drug treatment so they can focus on recovery, as well as providing for themselves and their families—even possibly to the point where they may not need public assistance. The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services estimates that one in seven state residents (2.5 million) suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD) or problem gambling. The agency estimates that 11 percent, or 1.8 million, state residents age 12 and older (including 160,000 adolescents ages 12-17) experience a SUD (substance dependence or abuse) annually. Our laws and public benefits should be designed to help people and put them on the path to recovery. If people on public benefits are using drugs, we are enabling an illegal drug habit paid for with the help of public benefits—the very public benefits that were designed to help people feed themselves and their families when times are tough and help close the gaps that the economic downturn has created. Studies show that when the economy is struggling, families and providers struggle too. Crime is up, drug use is up and poverty increases. Those who

Children, cross legged on the floor, eyes and ears attentive and awestruck as they listened to the stories being read by teachers who were obviously passionate about the words they were reading. This was the scene as K.C. Heffernan Elementary School Librarian Michael Brown held his March open library night. The March 10 read-a-loud event was held in conjunction with the KCH PTO Spring Book Fair. The KCH Library foyer was filled with families and students picking out books to purchase from an exemplary sample of children’s literature.

Jordan-Elbridge students, parents defend music programs From page 1 By Ned Campbell The cast of Jordan-Elbridge High School’s production of “Seussical the Musical� took a break from rehearsing last Wednesday night to tell the board what the music programs at J-E meant to them. In turn, the board took a break 30 minutes into their meeting to see the costumed students rehearse. “Seussical the Musical� opened at 7:30 p.m. Friday March 18 in the high school auditorium. “They were wonderful,� said board president Mary Alley. “It was the best part of the night, for sure.� J-E senior James Hynes, dressed for his role as General Genghis Schmidt, was one of four students to talk to the board about the merits of the music programs at J-E. With sports, “if you’re not good enough, you sit on the bench and you watch the game, or you’re a substitute,� Hynes said. “In [marching] band, that doesn’t happen.

out binders to each board member with letters from students, parents and alumni who told of the music program’s lasting effect on them. Maria Hare, an elementary school music teacher who has taught in the district for 25 years, listed off students who were active in the music program that continue to pursue music at the college level, and beyond. She also spoke proudly of her three kids, ages 18, 20 and 23, and their continued involvement with music. Her daughter, Rachel, is a freshman at SUNY Geneseo. “She’s not a music major, and I’m not bragging, but this is the truth,� Hare said. “Because of her experience at Jordan-Elbridge, she is playing in the Geneseo concert band and she’s also playing in the Geneseo orchestra. She’s first and second chair.� Alley said that while she believes there will be cuts in all areas of programming, the entire music program will not be eliminated. “I’d like everybody to take a deep breath and realize that would not be a very sensible thing to do,� she said. “Music affects all of our lives and we know how much it means to you. Sitting here is not a fun job. It’s misery, but there are choices we have to make.� See School board, page 15

Westhill falls to Burke Catholic in state semifinals By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com
Familiar opponents appeared throughout the Westhill boys basketball team’s quest to repeat as state Class B champions, from league rivals in the sectional playoffs to Seton Catholic, whom it beat for the second year in a row in the regional finals. Yet it was that familiarity that may have doomed the Warriors when it returned to Glens Falls Civic Center last Friday night and took a 63-58 defeat to Goshen Burke Catholic in the state Class B semifinals. This was, after all, much the same Burke Catholic squad that Westhill conquered 6051 in the 2010 state championship game on that same Glens Falls court.
Four Eagles starters were back from that team, including Brendan Miller, who said he kept the box score of that state final to remind him of how much that loss hurt - and to motivate himself, and his teammates, for revenge in the rematch. That motivation was evident from the opening tip. Setting a frantic pace, the Warriors and Eagles traded baskets before Burke used a 10-0 run late in the first quarter to surge out in front, 18-10. By the early portion of the second period, Westhill trailed 26-15. But a series of baskets from Nathan Nigolian ignited an 8-0 run that helped Westhill climb close late in the half. The Eagles were just as bold in its response, moving its lead back to nine before Nigo-
lian’s driving lay-up at the buzzer made it 34-27 at the break. It stayed that way through a sloppy third quarter where both teams turned the ball over often. Only the work of Justin Biles, who had 15 of his 19 points in the second half, kept Westhill close. Biles hit a trio of 3-pointers, igniting a run early in the fourth quarter that crept the Warriors within one, 47-46, with less than five minutes left. Burke would not give this one away, though. Richard Douglas drained a 3pointer to make it 50-46, and after Nigolian’s pair of free throws made it 50-48, Zach Rufer countered with another big 3-pointer that made it 53-48. Despite the Eagles missing a series of
late free throws, Westhill would not get closer than three points the rest of the way, and Rufer’s successful foul shots with seven seconds left put Burke into the state final. Biles and Nigolian, who finished with 18 points, accounted for more than half of Westhill’s production. Kevin McAvoy added 11 points, and no other Warrior had more than one field goal. Rufer led Burke with 28 points as teammate Dante Cowart added 15 points. Further adding to the Warriors’ questions of what might have been, the Eagles went on to beat state no. 1-ranked Potsdam 62-52 Saturday night to earn the state championship that, 12 months ago, Westhill had claimed for itself.

WOYSA
Western Onondaga Youth Soccer Association My name is Roger Garcia and I am the president of WOYSA. I am making an appeal to the WOYSA community at large for volunteers to step up and take on the responsibility of running the day-to-day operations of WOYSA. I have announced my retirement to the Board of Directors. In addition I must also announce that the following positions will also be vacant very soon, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar, Web Site Coordinator, Field and Resource Coordinator, Micro Soccer Division Director, U10 and U12 Boys Division Directors. This is very serious and without mincing words, if members from the WOYSA community do not step up to fill this void, we will be forced to make decisions that may include dissolving the league. That of course is a last resort but be clear; the league cannot effectively run without more help from the community. Most of the volunteers stepping down have been volunteering for 10 years or more with several over 15 years of community service. It is time for others to step-up. As the second most senior member I will agree to remain on the board as an advisor for a period of two years to help guide and train any new members who volunteer. With the current economic times it seems modified sports programs may suffer. WOYSA is the perfect vehicle to fill that void. However this will create the need for a U14 boys and girls Division Directors. This is something we want to do, but it requires two additional committed volunteers. This has been a very rewarding experience and all who serve will tell you the same. If anyone wishes to enquire please e-mail me at: rogerg@woysa.org Roger Garcia

Driver Middle School teachers, staff get goofy on the hard wood
Spanish students teach lessons at KCH Elementary
Submitted by Dave Taddeo The Driver Middle School staff put their own creative version of “March Madness” on display at the annual “Goofy” basketball game Friday March 11 in the gymnasium. The DMS PTA-sponsored fundraising event was coordinated by Betsy Ramsden and Mindy Manahan. Faculty and staff competitors showed off their talents, as an enthusiastic crowd howled with delight at each creative pass or swished basket. Competitions included Beauties vs. Bakers; Dancers vs. Duckies; Friends vs. Foes; and Bozos vs. Babies. George Mango, sixth grade teacher, and Michael Vincent, elementary physical education teacher, brought their own blend of commentator and analyst to the event while Pat Collier, former DMS principal, and Shelly Stepien , DMS physical education teacher, offered up some innovative twists to the art of officiating. An inspirational rendition of the National Anthem was performed by Maureen Henesey, occupational therapist. Nancy van der Ven’s sixth grade class handled the concession stand and the selling of goodies with all monies raised going to the SPCA. Halftime games included a 3-

One of the great instructional benefits of a one-campus school setting is the opportunity for younger students to learn from their older peers. This benefit is coming to fruition during the months of March and April as students from Shelly Marsh’s Marcellus Senior High School Spanish classes are visiting classes at Driver Middle School and K.C. Heffernan Elementary School to teach Spanish language lessons. Teachers participating in the “foreign language exchange” program include Rose Battaglia, third grade, George Mango, sixth grade, and Nancy van der Ven, sixth grade. The high school students are teaching lessons over a six-week period; the first lesson took place March 4. A visit to Battaglia’s classroom on March 4 found high school Spanish student instructors Lexie Novak, Nora Barry, Gregg Treleaven, Melissa Lee, Alan Donohoe and Eric Morris deep in the See Spanish, page14

a project that gave an overview of biographical information, musical/artistic influences, and honors/awards. Using technology that utilized the classroom SMARTboard and a variety of audio/visual power point innovations, each student presented their projects to their classroom peers. Each project was presented both orally and visually in Spanish. Major artistic influences such as European, African, Indigenous, and Caribbean were spotlighted as students articulated the significant contributions of artists such as Thalia, Jose Guardiola, Pau Dones, and Jurabe DePalo . Each presentation culminated with an audio/video demonstration of the artist in performance. Joseph Isgar and Angela Pugliese presented on Tito Puente, an acclaimed Latin jazz and salsa musician who is often referred to as the King of the Timbales. Timbales are shallow single headed drums that were invented in Cuba. Isgar and Pugliese culminated their presentation with an actual performance that highlighted Puente’s music. Cartmill’s classroom was filled with the jazzy sounds of Puente’s music as Isgar on Trumpet, Pugliese on Saxophone, and Marcellus Senior High School band director Michael Cirmo on Timbales performed Ran Kan Kan.

From page 4 ries from New York State residents.Â
have lived with drug addiction and those who treat people in rehab have seen firsthand how drugs can tear families apart. Currently, if someone processing a benefits application suspects an applicant is using drugs, the applicant is recommended for drug testing. However, this methodology is flawed, with too much room for interpretation. If a user is aware of any kind of red flags a screener is looking for, much can be done to hide or disguise these warning signs. There would be some minimal costs associated with drug testing, which would ultimately save taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money in the long run. Funds which are spent on drug screening, drug treatments and prevention, would theoretically save money spent on welfare and crime.  Recovery stories and assistance I invite you to read recovery sto-
Two years ago, Gov. Paterson began an effort with the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services to log first-hand accounts of people who underwent a successful recoveryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from drugs, alcohol or gambling. The site is called iamrecovery.com. There are hundreds of stories on this site that detail what life is like living with addictions. Many have found help and have recovered. They are from all different walks of life. One writer, Rachel, a young mom who lives in New York State, shared the following: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addiction started for me at a very early age. I can remember as far back as fifth grade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first time I had even heard about drugs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and telling myself I wanted to try them all. My childhood was near perfect, no troubles at home, no abuse of any kind, but I never felt comfortable in my own skin and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like who I wasâ&#x20AC;Ś What I want the people who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet found recovery to know,

After the meeting she said the presentations were heartfelt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly I agree with them on all of those merits,â&#x20AC;? Alley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love music too.â&#x20AC;? Superintendent finalists named Three finalists were recently named in J-E Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and special education at Onondaga Central School District since July 2009. James Froio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; executive principal at Cicero-North Syracuse High School in the North Syracuse school district since 2004. Randall Squier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one consisting of community members, another of administrators, and a third of school employees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will meet with the finalists and provide feedback to the board. The school board will then make the final decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a process in there, probably in the near future, that will involve students,â&#x20AC;? Speck said. The committee of community members includes: Becky Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping the decision will be made by April 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right on trackâ&#x20AC;? he said. The next superintendent is expected to start work at J-E Schools July 1.

O’most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.

There are none that can withstand your power. Show me herein you are Mother. O’Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3x) O’ Holy Mary, Sweet Mother I place this cause in your hands. (3x) Thank you for your mercy to me and mine.

percent, up from 93 percent the previous year. Tice attributed this to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong work of our counselors and our teachers at the high school.â&#x20AC;? He said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a great job of meeting the needs of â&#x20AC;&#x153;both the large cohort of studentsâ&#x20AC;? and the individual students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of electives that we offer encourage students to take full course loads,â&#x20AC;? he added. The district also scored high in the number of students that go on to pursue a college degree. 96 percent of students at Marcellus planned to attend either two-year or four-year college following graduation. Marcellus had 98 percent of its students graduate with a regents diploma, up from 94 percent last year. This number compares to the top performing schools in the area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as do the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall regents scores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our regents scores are comparable to Skaneateles and Westhill, F-M, J-D and Cazenovia,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of all those districts, [we have] one of the lowest costs per pupil.â&#x20AC;? The percentage of students performing at the mastery level fluxuated in 2009-10 from previous years. For instance, 85 percent of students taking the Comprehensive French regents scored an 85 or higher, up from 74 percent in 2008-09. Mastery level for the Spanish regents, taken by 106 students in 2009-10, dropped to 50 percent from 82 percent the previous year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking to improve our mastery rates, take a look at students performing at 85 percent or better,â&#x20AC;? Tice said. But students are passing at an incredibly high rate. In terms of students passing their foreign language regents exams, the numbers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be better. 100 percent of students taking both the French and Spanish regents exams passed in each of the past three years. Tice said the district has strived to make taking foreign language a desirable option for students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world is getting smaller every day,â&#x20AC;? he said. 98 percent of students graduated with a regents diploma, and 71 percent gradu-

place among area districts, topped only by Skaneateles and Fayetteville-Manlius schools. Tice expects the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success with foreign languages to continue. At the start of this school year, Marcellus added a seventh grade exploratory class to its curriculum where students take rotate between Spanish and French for 20 weeks, then decide which language they will pursue. The class is taught by Audrey Misainno, who is certified in both languages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows the students to make an informed decision,â&#x20AC;? Tice said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before they would just rely on a neighbor or sibling â&#x20AC;Ś now they actually get a little exposure to both in seventh grade.â&#x20AC;? Student to teacher Marcellus currently has around 21 students per classroom across the district. Tice said that number could increase as cuts are made to balance this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budgetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the district faces a $2.9 million deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the cuts happen, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably start to see some of the class sizes get a little bit larger,â&#x20AC;? he said. Tice said he hopes to keep Marcellus performing at its high level through the tough fiscal times, but it will not be easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked so hard in Marcellus over the years to develop this high performing district, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very frustrating to have to start to dismantle it because of the fiscal problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do what we can to help the taxpayers but at the same time, it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an easy task because this district is something we should be proud of.â&#x20AC;? The district will host three town meetings at 7 p.m. on March 30 at the high school, March 31 at the elementary school and April 4 at the middle school. The meetings will feature a budget presentation by the board of education and the superintendent, with a question and answer session to follow.

her high school sweetheart in 1977, and their children, Brad and Erin, both graduated from J-E. A graduate of Cayuga Community College, Milton has been employed as an account operations manager by Xerox Corporation for the past 12 years and she started a small business in October called Twisted Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glitter & Shine, which specializes in custom embroidery and jewelry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great to be elected to the position,â&#x20AC;? Milton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank my family and friends for coming out to vote and showing their support for myself, the other trustees and the judge.â&#x20AC;? Milton said she expects this to be a challenging year for local government due to ongoing issues with the school and the decrease in funds from the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been deeply concerned with the issues regarding our school board and how it is affecting our community,â&#x20AC;? she said Milton is interested in many aspects of village government, and looks forward to becoming more involved with the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before taking this position I was only exposed to the surface of the village, as a trustee I am now learning the inter-workings of our community and the local government,â&#x20AC;? she said. Catherine Ferris and her husband, Jeffrey, have a daugh-
Ferris said it felt â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little weird, but exciting too!â&#x20AC;? to be elected to the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be given the opportunity to positively contribute toward the future of this historic village,â&#x20AC;? Ferris said. Like Milton, this is Ferrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first position in local government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you asked me five years ago when I moved to Jordan whether I could see myself serving in local government, my answer would have been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. But since then, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become more involved in the community. For the last three years she has served on the village of Jordan Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Review Committee and last year served on Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 175th Anniversary Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through those experiences, I realized that I have a deep interest in the Jordan community today and what the future holds for the village,â&#x20AC;? Ferris said. Jordan Mayor Dick Platten said he looks forward to working with the new trustees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will bring hopefully some new ideas and some additional energy,â&#x20AC;? Platten said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a very good board to work with.â&#x20AC;? Trustee Lee Badman was re-elected to another four-year term, as was village justice Michael Weir, both with 46 votes. All positions on the ballot were uncontested.

was just a bump in the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already coached the last two weeks,â&#x20AC;? Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out there, out in the cold in the parking lot every day, assuming we had a job.â&#x20AC;? Neither coach was at the March 16 school board meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not common practice for a coach or any staff member to attend their appointment,â&#x20AC;? said Robin Smart, who coaches varsity softball at J-E. Mike Smart is her brother-in-law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In most districts, a recommendation by the athletic director and/or the superintendent of schools makes the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote a mere formality as the judgment of the professional staff is not questioned.â&#x20AC;?
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. Smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment was tabled at that meeting; Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation for appointment was left off the agenda. So when Zacher gave the coaches the go ahead on Tuesday March 8, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t official. Young and Smart thought it

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As terrible as I was at lacrosse, these two guys made it extremely fun and a memorable part of my high school career,â&#x20AC;? wrote Brandon Farrar, one of many former players to post on the Facebook page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś They were two significant mentors to me growing up in J-E. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure anybody else I played with would say the same.â&#x20AC;? Superintendent finalists named Three finalists were recently named in J-E Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and special education at Onondaga Central School District since July 2009. James Froio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; executive principal at Cicero-North Syracuse High School in the North Syracuse school district since 2004. Randall Squier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one consisting of community members, another of administrators, and a third of school employees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will meet with the finalists and provide feedback to the board. The school board will then make the final decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a process in there, probably in the near future, that will involve students,â&#x20AC;? Speck added. The committee of community members includes: Becky Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping the decision will be made by April 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right on trackâ&#x20AC;? he said. The next superintendent is expected to start work at J-E Schools July 1.

One board member abstains Brian Richardson said he abstained from the vote on Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment because his son is on the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I was so close to it I felt it was important for me to abstain,â&#x20AC;? he said. Had Richardson decided to vote â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? rather than abstain, Young would still be coaching varsity lacrosse at J-E. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether he voted no or abstained, I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to coach,â&#x20AC;? Young said, adding: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would think I would have gotten some support from him. His older son played for me for four years, and his younger sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the team this year, this is his third year.â&#x20AC;?

else, now they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming to school tomorrow with no coaches, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my biggest concern.â&#x20AC;? 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 schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse team. Young said he was devastated by the news, though he was mostly concerned for the kids. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the world for me, I can always get a job somewhere else,â&#x20AC;? 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 boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasoning, and suggested he talk to Zacher, Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could tell you anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really am not sure about what happened.â&#x20AC;? Young said he felt the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son return this year because â&#x20AC;&#x153;it just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 years of coaching and one parent complaining and we lose our job,â&#x20AC;? Young said. During the public comments session of a December school board meeting, Stevenson questioned Mike Smartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions as J-Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
