Great Northeastern Sport Show returns to Solvay

FAN FAVORITE: “Bwana Jim” Moulton, of the ‘Old Red Schoolhouse’ Wildlife and Nature Center in Pennsylvania, has become a staple at the Great Northeastern Sport Show, which ran Jan. 21 to 23 at the Fairgrounds in Solvay. He brought his wildlife show, which he presents with his wife and fellow handler Linda, to the fairgrounds for the eighth year in a row.“People like it; we get a big crowd every show,” he said. Moulton is pictured holding an oppossum, a favorite among spectators. ““We call him speed bump!” he said. SNAKE HANDLERS: Leah Hanen, 5, of Rome, and Hunter Potts, 4, of Fulton, hold a bald python under the supervision of Bwana Jim. REEL IT IN: Michael Skinner, 10, of Syracuse, shows off a rainbow trout he caught in the Trout Pond, an attraction run by the Friends of Carpenters Brook in Elbridge. Ned Campbell

It was a busy week for the Jordan-Elbridge school board. Here’s what happened: 3 On Thursday Jan. 20, Judge Donald Greenwood ruled against the school board twice. In one case, he ruled that Anthony Scro, fired in November, must be reinstated as J-E’s treasurer, effective immediately, with back pay. Scro said he is looking forward to getting back to work at JordanElbridge and doing what he was educated to do — accounting. “And there’s going to be a lot to do because it’s been five months since I’ve been away from it,” Scro said. Scro hopes to eventually be joined by Zehner and Bill Hamilton, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and finance who has been on paid administrative leave since July. “Everything that I did I worked on as a team with Bill Hamilton,” Scro said. 3 In the other State Supreme Court case, Greenwood ruled in favor of J-E’s suspended principal, David Zehner, who had

Greenwood referred to his Oct. 1 ruling that the J-E school board must give specific reasons for going into executive session, saying it is insufficient to “merely regurgitate the statutory language” required when going into executive session. Greenwood ruled that the See School board, page 3

Canandaigua man arrested in Marcellus J-E goes 1-1 without Suspect’s exposure-related crime history dates back to 1989 By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com A Canandaigua man accused of exposing himself to a woman in Brockport and students at Auburn High School was arraigned in Marcellus Monday Jan. 17. Paul Goodrell, 41, was transported from Monroe County Jail Jan. 17 on an arrest warrant issued by the town of Marcellus court. Goodrell was charged with third-degree burglary/sexually motivated felony and is being held on $10,000 cash or bond, according to Marcellus police. Auburn, Irondequoit, Newark and SUNY Brockport police agencies assisted the Marcellus Police Department in the investigation. School Resource Officer John Scanlon said custodians observed a man exhibiting suspicious behavior inside Driver Middle School on

Nov. 4. The suspect was later identified as Goodrell — by a custodian during a photo array identification process and in the video surveillance footage. The footage showed Goodrell in the school with one Goodrell layer of clothing removed and attempting to cover his face, Scanlon said. “The guy ended up running from the building and they lost him on a foot chase,” Scanlon said. Goodrell was later charged with exposing himself to students on Lake Street in Auburn and inside Auburn High School earlier that day. See Arrest, page 2

Hourigan, falls to Skaneateles By Phil Blackwell For nearly a week, the Jordan-Elbridge girls basketball team had to think about how it would operate without its most imposing court presence. Molly Hourigan’s injury, suffered in the fourth quarter of the Eagles’ first loss of the season to Cazenovia on Jan. 13, took away the team’s leading scorer and defensive anchor, someone that could be counted on for double-digit points, rebounds and blocks on any given night. But when J-E returned to action last Wednesday night against a solid opponent in 4-3 Hannibal, little appeared to be amiss as the Eagles took out the Warriors 66-41. For coach Leslie Ahern, the short-term solution proved quite simple – use the Eagles’ talented See Eagles, page 2

Goodrell was found to have entered into Driver Middle School unlawfully, with no purpose for being there.

thing like this, that could go in a really bad direction,” Scanlon said. According to a Dec. 15 report by the Henrietta Post, Goodrell has been linked to exposure-related crimes dating back to 1989. He was released from state prison in December of 2009 after serving three years for an exposure-related burglary, where police found him to have entered a Newark middle school without wearing any clothes. 14 points, led a balanced attack where Erin McLaughlin earned a season-best 12 points and Natalie Andrianos earned 11 points. Grace Dungey (eight points) and Kali Davis (six points) also helped as, in all, 10 different players got on the scoreboard. Now the Eagles, still without Hourigan, went to Skaneateles Friday night and appeared on its way to another victory – but a stunning late rally allowed the Lakers to clip J-E by a score of 41-39. Hourigan is expected to return this week and play Friday against Solvay.

boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to follow proper meeting procedure was often tied to the superintendent search â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a process of great public concern and not within the exceptions to the requirement of the Open Meetings Law but for narrow circumstances,â&#x20AC;? he stated. 3 On Wednesday Jan. 19, David Zehner was escorted off the J-E campus by an Onondaga County sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy after exceeding the five-minute time limit during the public comments session of the school board meeting. Zacher and six school board members, including board president Mary Alley, left the room following Zehnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal from the meeting and the criticism from residents (in defense of Zehner) that ensued. Zehner felt the board staged the event in an attempt to gain some public sympathy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least two others spoke longer than five minutes during the same public comments session without garnering resistance from the board. Jarrod Smith, a lawyer representing J-E residents, said Zehner should have been allowed more time since others yielded their speaking time to him. 3 The same board members that did not leave the room on Wednesday also did not vote â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent agenda, which was passed later that night. Board members Connie Drake and Michael Jorolemon voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;no,â&#x20AC;? while Brian Richardson abstained. Among the items on the consent agenda was the hire of Eric Dobmeier as a half-time music teacher to replace Thomas Gegenheimer, who recently resigned. Gegen-

heimer, whose last day is Jan. 31, was the instrumental music, jazz and band director for grades nine through 12. He was also in charge of directing J-Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning marching band. The district initially advertised the position as full-time, but had since changed the description to half-time. Mary Jo Wick, a parent in the district, questioned this decision in an e-mail to Zacher, pointing to the success of the marching band. Zacher explained in an e-mail response to Wick that the position was changed to halftime after a review by the administration of J-E music teacher schedules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We determined that we could reasonably reduce the position this year to half time with minimal disruption to student scheduling and program,â&#x20AC;? Zacher wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided that it would be too disruptive to eliminate the position completely. It may be possible to not fill the position at all for next year.â&#x20AC;? Also on the consent agenda was the hire of Edward Kupiec as administrative intern for athletics to serve from March 1 through June 30. The districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director of 13 years, Brad Hamer, retires in February. Residents at the board meeting questioned the appointment of Kupiec, saying that the district already has an intern in the same department. 3 Jordan-Elbridge residents dropped a lawsuit against the district that aimed to put Marilyn Dominick, who retired in November, back in the superintendent seat. The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell & Ciotoli law firm, representing the residents, found that Dominick did not wish to return.

Opinion Editorial

Starting to see clearly It’s not the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s still light. Following Judge Donald Greenwood’s Jan. 20 ruling that the Jordan-Elbridge school board must reinstate fired district treasurer Anthony Scro, it was hard not to notice that collective sigh of relief let out by the entire J-E community. The ruling came the same day as another by Greenwood in favor of suspended principal David Zehner, who for the second time contested the board’s disregard for Open Meetings Law. The school board offered no reason in court for firing Scro beyond the assertion that he didn’t sign his oath of office on time — an assertion that was ruled flimsy. Judge Greenwood ruled that Scro never should have been removed in the first place, and ordered the district to pay him salary and benefits for the five months of work he was forced to miss. With that ruling, would anyone disagree that firing Scro was a waste of time, energy, legal fees and dollars in general? It’s hard to say where the Jordan-Elbridge school board will go from here, but we’re hoping that at the very least, the board listens to the decisions made in court and learns from them. Reinstating Scro as the district’s treasurer and providing accurate reasons for going into executive session would be for one, lawful, but more importantly, an improvement.

Grumble, grumble I have lived most of my adult life in Central New York. I should be used to winter. In the Brooklyn/Carmel years, winter was sometimes white, sometimes quite cold, but Syracuse, ah; Syracuse introduced me to the season’s penultimate expression. By now, I should have acclimated myself to winter… in the same way that you might become used to an impacted tooth, low back pain or migraine headaches. Waking up to a red sky and all that portends starts my day off badly. Seeing only white is even worse. My car in the driveway is under a large mountain of snow, snow that has to be removed if I wish to drive anywhere. The thought of getting dressed appropriately with coat, scarf, hat, gloves and boots and moving the snow off my vehicle, often into my boots and down the sleeves of my coat in sub zero weather, has me wondering whether it’s necessary to leave the house at all. And isn’t rationalization wonderful? On Wednesday, unable to open

my frozen car doors to stay in and clean out my pantry. That proved to be an adventure of its own. Why would I buy a can of salmon and not use it for four years? Why? Six cans of kidney beans… what was I thinking? … and get this, 9 bottles of vinegar… all different flavors of vinegar.Why? Still, among the sometimes antique comestibles, sitting quietly on the fourth shelf down I found five small jars of quince jam that made me smile. Last summer, Marie, one of my neighbors, presented me with a bag of quince. “Do you want to make jam with these?” she asked. I have to admit that I had quince confused with persimmons, but no matter, I had the quince and accepted the challenge to make jam. An ancient fruit, native to Persia and surrounding areas, quince, according to the Internet, was the fruit that was first called marmalade. The latter sentence reveals that I had to resort to modern technology to find out how to do this because quince are not like the fruit they resemble

Quince look very much like small wonky under-ripe apples on the outside. Inside? Not so much. They have a sizable semi-hollow interior where the seeds develop. The walls of that hollow are made of something like Kevlar…or at least it seemed that way as I tried to prepare the fruit for processing. Preparing the fruit takes time, determination, a very sharp knife and more time. Then, I questioned whether this would be worth what seemed to be considerable effort. It was. The fruit is a delicate, pale almost green before cooking. As it cooks, the fruit turns an astoundingly golden yellow-pink. The jam looks beautiful and tastes extraordinarily delicious. The work involved was a small thing compared to the resulting gustatory delight. The lesson I found in those jars is the lesson I’ve known from childhood. There is no summer without winter, and without belaboring all of the botany and biology that goes into that thought, how less glorious would spring and summer be if we did not have winter? And… we expect lake effect snow tomorrow and tomorrow… sigh!

Marcellus Memories

50 years ago, 1961 Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Aherin announced the birth of their son Michael. Mrs. Aherin is the former Geraldine Hayward. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Root announced the birth of their daughter, Elizabeth Ruth. David W. Driver, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester S. Driver, has been appointed to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. David is a senior at MCS where he is majoring in Science, Mathematics and Latin. He was All-County Football and plays on the basketball squad. Dave will go to NY City for a physical and mental examination and if accepted, he will start at Annapolis in July. Dave is one of two youths from this Congressional District appointed to the Naval Academy. Young men are selected for the service schools following a screening by a Citizens Board of Selection after interviewing hopefuls for the different service schools. Candidates are judged on the basis of scholarship, physical condition, leadership and personality. The other candidate was Glenn Eichelberger of Eastwood High School also named to the Naval Academy. After touring the village for several hours judging the Christmas decorations, the committee for the Marcellus Garden Club chose the Art Wilson home on South Street for their first place winner. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson’s display consisted of spotlights illuminating the beautiful Colonial entrance to their home, which was decorated with roping and multi-colored lights. At the

house was a huge gaily lighted Christmas tree. Jack and David Scherer of Chrisler Years ago Street won the second prize for their front porch display of Rudolph the red-nose reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh. Honorable mention goes to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Rice of Dublin Road and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bennett of South Street for their decorations. Twenty-six entries were submitted for the contest. “Memories of Marcellus” by Frank Griffing continues… I always enjoyed buying and selling goods. It is a pleasure to sell goods to most people. Sometimes you may get out of patience, but you must not fly off the handle. When a man came in and said he wanted some screws and you ask him how long and he says let me see them. You say roundhead or flathead and he says about so long. So you show him a 1 ½” screw and he says that is too long, so then you show him a 1” screw and he says that is too thin and so you show him a ¾” and he says that is the right length but thin, but finally settles for a ¼ x 8 screw and takes a half-dozen. It is the same with bolts and nails. It would be lots better if people would measure before they left home and then they would know what size they wanted. Most anyone can sell what people come in for if you have what they want and the price is what they are willing to pay for it, but it takes a salesman to sell him something that he did not come in for. A man may come in for 5 lbs. of nails and after you get them bagged, you say how about a

new hammer, so you make a sale of a hammer handle. A good clerk will try and sell more goods than the customer came in for but not crowd the customer too much. You have to judge the customer; if he is in a hurry, let him go and say come again. (to be continued) Never let anger own you. Learn from these feelings and then let them go. Happy Birthday January 5 to Tom Lathrop, January 16th to Marcia Ramsden and Joanne Galaska, January 17th to Margaret Bex and Horace Bean, and January 18th to Arlo Case and Joy (Dunfee) Ripley. An examination for rural carrier for the post office in Marcellus will be open for acceptance for applications until January 24th, announced by the postmaster. Applicants must take a written test for this position. They must have resided within the delivery of the office for one year immediately preceding the closing date of the examination. They must have reached their 18th birthday and there is no maximum age limit. The Marcellus Mustangs maintained their winning streak by a roaring victory over North Syracuse 78-57 on Friday night. The score bounced back and forth during the first quarter with the Mustangs holding a 19-15 lead at the buzzer. John Parry took scoring honors for the evening with 20 points, Tim Taylor and Tom Mullen followed up with 16 and 14 respectively. Even though the JV’s lost to North Syracuse 47-37, Peter Bartz and Neal Weeks were high scorers with 15 and 12 points respectively. A mind, like a parachute, only functions when it is open.

Young wrestling Mustangs rank WG’s Coolican is tops at Cazenovia meet high in Port Byron tournament By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Marcellus wrestlers competed against 15 different schools in the second annual Port Byron wrestling tournament held Jan. 8. Two eighth grade varsity wrestlers placed highest in their weight division, with Zach Ruggles (96) placing first and Nate Long (103) coming in second.

WG swimmers rip Liverpool; win streak at 26 By Phil Blackwell Every meet, the West Genesee boys swim team expects the best effort from the opposition – and every time, it’s ready to respond and keep on winning. Now the Wildcats’ win streak sits at 26 consecutive meets in the wake of last Wednesday night’s 101-83 victory over Liverpool, which was a battle for first place in the CNY Counties League. The Warriors came into the meet with a 5-0 record and were at home, normally advantageous conditions. WG changed

that in a hurry, though. In a close opening race, Brendan Marks, Pat Guy, Richard Maroney and Ben Seketa got together in the 200 medley relay and prevailed in a time of 1:44.35, just 1.27 seconds ahead of Liverpool. Minutes later, the Bucknell Universtybound Seketa made an even bigger statement in the 200 individual medley. With a time of 1:58.05, Seketa broke the Warriors’ pool record and, for good measure, he also dominated the 100 freestyle, winning in a swift 48.12 seconds. See WG swimmers, page 7

Even though the West Genesee wrestling team only got a seventh-place finish out of 16 entrants at the Jan. 15 Cazenovia Invitational, Ian Coolican stood out. Coolican, the 119-pound champion, would share Most Outstanding Wrestler honors with General Brown’s Nate Silverthorn (145 pounds) after his title run. To reach the finals, Coolican pinned Eric Petrie (Homer) in 1:50 and beat Owen Jarrold (Vestal) 9-0. Once in the title match against Baldwinsville’s Joey Shaheen, Coolican took control and kept it, winning a 7-1 decision. Connor Grome, at 125 pounds, claimed third place when he beat Zach Pfluger (Sandy Creek) 5-0 in the consolation bracket final. Marcus Walker (215 pounds) settled for fourth place, while Nick Fetterolf (112 pounds), Dustin Wright-Schwanke (145 pounds) and Joe Clancy (285 pounds) all had sixth-place efforts. This led the Wildcats to last Tuesday’s match against CBA/Jamesville-DeWitt, a classic where WG held on for a 37-35 victory. With his team up by five points, 37-32, Jon Fetterolf was given the task of avoiding a pin in the 135-pound finale against Ben Honis. Fetterolf did just that, battling hard in a 4-3 defeat, which was nowhere near what CBA/J-D needed. This meet brought back Solvay’s toprated duo of Aaron Benedict and J.T. Romagnoli, both of whom would win – Benedict pinning Wright-Schwanke in 40 seconds, Romagnoli taking 1:51 to pin Tyler Heggelke. In Fact, WG trailed 17-0 before answering with five straight wins, including a forfeit to Clancy. Evan Stefano. At 160, finished off Paul D’Antonio in 1:12, and

Matt Nichols (171) followed with a 9-5 win over Brad VanPatten. Two more decisions followed, as Sean Fronce (189) beat Zach Shapiro 11-2 and Marcus Walker (215) beat Rob Tyson 11-6. Another streak began at 112, where Nick Fetterolf pinned Max Havens midway through the second period. Coolican took 1:08 to pin Brad Carr and Connor Grome (125) beat Matt Lauro 9-2. With no time to rest, WG wrestled again on Wednesday night and lost to Liverpool 50-26, unable to win any of the seven matches from 140 pounds upward. Coolican claimed a forfeit, but Stefano needed just 32 seconds to pin Nathan Gee. Jon Fetterolf had a second-period pin of Brian Carr as Grome beat Lucas Castellanos in a 17-2 technical fall. Hasan edged Brockton Barton 8-5. Clancy lost 10-8 to Alex Gibson and Nichols took a 3-0 defeat to Joe Pizzuto. Back on Jan. 15, Marcellus hosted its own dual meet, going 1-3. Kyle Tierney, at 160 pounds, took top honors as the Mustangs beat Harpursville 48-29, but lost to CBA/J-D 55-24, Liverpool 41-40 and Tully 41-33. Liverpool won the meet with a 4-0 mark. Then the Mustangs lost to Hannibal 60-19 on Wednesday night, getting just two wins on the mat. Matt Dempsey, at 145, beat Ricky Blais 5-2 and Zach Ruggles (96) rolled past Dustin Ouellette 10-2. Nate Long (112) and Mike Perry (103) claimed forfeits as Tierney lost 3-2 to Walter Forbes. In a non-league meet on Friday, the Jordan-Elbridge Eagles beat LaFayette 3627 as Alpha pinned Alex Jones in exactly three minutes. Ennulat got a third-period fall over Chris Mueller as Derrick Cheney, at 171, earned his pin over Matt Peryea in 3:30.

On its way toward a new home in the fall, the Marcellus girls volleyball team would not mind grabbing another winter crown or two. The Mustangs took a major step toward that goal last Thursday night, completing a regular-season sweep of its closest OHSL Liberty division pursuer, Christian Brothers Academy, with a four-set victory and moving to 10-1 on the season. All looked fine in the first set, which Marcellus dominated 25-13. But in the second set, Jenna Annable, the team’s top setter, went out with a shoulder injury and, shaken for a moment, the Mustangs lost 25-19 as the Brothers pulled even. Showing its resilience and depth, Marcellus pulled out a 25-22 victory in the third set, then got pushed by CBA in the fourth set before closing out the match 26-24. Jess Cost and Tori Bingham stepped up in Annable’s absence, as Cost finished with 18 assists

and Bingham contributed 13 assists and five aces. Up front, Nicole Fletcher gained 14 kills and eight blocks, with Devon Landers producing 10 kills and five blocks. Veronice Raymond and Sara Ryan earned eight kills apiece. Annable returned on Saturday for the Mustangs’ appearance in the Mount Markham Tournament, and helped Marcellus win the event with an 8-0 mark as it swept Living Word Academy in two sets in the finals. Annable joined Fletcher and Landers on the All-Tournament team. Fighting hard to stay around the .500 mark, Solvay gained a key victory last Tuesday night, sweeping Jordan-Elbridge in three sets. The Bearcats prevailed 25-14, 25-18, 25-8 for its most lopsided win of the season as Julie Gardner served up seven aces. Gabby Santoferrara had 11 digs and four assists, with Cassidy Tanzella earning four kills. Ashley Colley See Volleyball, page 6

WG hockey tops Golden Eagles WG boys hold off Liverpool in overtime Here was, arguably, the most important week of the West Genesee ice hockey team’s regular season, as it sought to solidify its hold on first place in Division I against two worthy challengers – but only played one of them. To start off, the state Division I no. 3-ranked Wildcats visited the McDonald Sports Complex last Tuesday night for a game against CortlandHomer – and put together one of its best all-around efforts of the season in a 5-1 romp over the Golden Eagles. In sharp form from the moment the puck dropped, WG worked its way to a 2-0 first-period lead, then tacked on another goal in the second period. Cortland-Homer did not get on the board until the third period, by which point the

Wildcats were clear. Shawn Lynch, with two goals and one assist, and Rob Michel, with three assists, anchored WG’s attack. Erik Kurz, Nick Holzhauer and Josh Duquette also scored, with John Sabert, R.J. Tinklepaugh and Cody Ryan adding assists. Just as impressive was the way WG’s defense completely shut down the Golden Eagles for long stretches of the game, limiting them to a grand total of six shots as the Wildcats took 33. This brought the Wildcats back home to Shove Park Friday night to face Corcoran – at least that was the plan, until the threat of a winter snowstorm forced another postponement. WG blanks Watertown IHC Weather again factored into the local ice hockey schedule, as West Genesee’s key Division I showdown with Corcoran got pushed back to Monday night. Solvay also saw its game with Cortland-Homer postponed. However, the Wildcats did get on the ice Saturday night, making up its snowed-out Dec. 8 affair

with Watertown IHC and, in front of the home fans in Camillus, blitzing the Cavaliers early in an 8-0 shutout. Before IHC could settle down, WG had sprinted out to a 3-0 first-period. But it didn’t stop there as the Wildcats added four more goals in the second period to end all doubt. Nick Holzhauer scored twice and added two assists to lead WG’s attack. Josh Duquette also had two goals, with Erik Kurz, Ryan LaVallee, Jimmy Sauda and Travis Wager taking turns finding the net by the time it was done. Four different players – Wager, Matt Schattner, Shawn Lynch and John Sabert – joined Holzhauer earning two assists apiece. Kurz, Rob Michel and R.J. Tinklepaugh each had one assist. WG’s defense, as a whole, was superb, holding IHC to a mere seven shots. Aside from making up the Corcoran game, WG (7-0-1 league, 10-2-2 overall) also would host Fayetteville-Manlius Tuesday before going to Lysander Arena for its only regular-season encounter with long-time rival Baldwinsville on Friday night.

Leave it to the relentless Central New York winter. It’s the opponent that the undefeated West Genesee boys basketball team cannot seem to conquer. The threat of yet another serious snowstorm derailed Friday night’s scheduled showdown between the 11-0 Wildcats and 8-2 Henninger, one of the season’s most anticipated games. They’ll make it up on Feb. 10. WG almost saw the win streak stop at 10. At Liverpool last Tuesday night, the Wildcats had to make a fourth-quarter comeback to force overtime, then scrape its way to a 51-47 victory over the Warriors. The fact that it was so difficult was not a big surprise, even though WG had flattened Liverpool 69-47 in their first encounter on Dec. 27 in the opening round of Bishop Ludden’s Rosemary Corcoran Holiday Classic.Right after that, the Warriors took off on a six-game win streak, so it had a lot more confidence going into its rematch with WG. Still, the Wildcats were well-rested, having not played since Thursday, while Liverpool was hitting the court for the fourth time in five days. In theory, that should have helped the visitors - but it did not. Ahead 13-10 going into the second quarter, WG went cold, getting just five points in that period. Only superb defense

on the Wildcats’ side kept Liverpool in sight as the Warriors led 21-18 at the break. Try as it could, though, Liverpool could not get away, in part because the Wildcats prevented both of the Warriors’ top scorers from breaking out. Ian Hamm, who had six straight 20-point outings during his team’s win streak, was held to 14 points here, while Adam Misener, who torched Xavier for 29 points, managed just 13 points here. That defense kept WG right within range as, in the fourth quarter, it made up a 34-30 deficit, forging a 44-44 tie. Still, it had to sweat out the end of regulation as Liverpool had two shots to win, but could not convert either of them. That meant overtime - and here, the Warriors’ fatigue may have finally set in, as it managed just three points in that extra session. That allowed WG to move in front as Spencer hit a trio of free throws, Pat Patnode added two foul shots and Matt Naton converted a field goal. For once, Spencer didn’t have to carry as much of the offensive load. But he still managed 19 points to lead both sides as Greg Wadach added eight points and Eric Wood picked up seven points. WG won despite getting just three points apiece from Corey Herrington and Phil Allen. With the Henninger showdown on hold, WG had to, instead, get set for another big test this Friday as it visits defending Class AA champion Cicero-North Syracuse.

as WG’s Jamal Holmes (195.15 points) was third. Collin Zapisek took his turn in the 500 freestyle, prevailing in 5:14.25, while Jake Mullet needed 1:06.55 for first place in the 100 breaststroke. As an exclamation point, WG brought home a victory in the 200 medley relay, where Seketa, Elias, Zapisek and Guy finished in a time of 1:34.53. The Wildcats return home Thursday night to face Baldwinsville.

Corrections The Observer regrets the following errors: In an article from last week titled “West Genesee considers salary freeze,” we referred to Gov. Andrew Cuomo as Gov. Mario Cuomo. In a Jan. 12 article titled “Up and running,” we referred to grant money acquired for the LT2 water treatment project in Elbridge. We named a state grant of $600,000 and two $90,000 county development grants, one for each village (Jordan and Elbridge). What we failed to mention was that the town of Elbridge also received a county grant for $90,0000.
