Nearly 100 Liverpool residents came out on Saturday to sign petitions calling for alterations to the preliminary Liverpool Central School District budget and the resignation of Superintendent Richard Johns. The two separate petitions were made available for signatures to district residents March 19 at the American Legion Post 188 in the village. Concerned residents Sharon Yager, Julie Matson and Pat Ruf provided information to those that stopped by, and encouraged individuals to sign both petitions during the event. “This is by no means a witch hunt,” said Yager. “We just want the board

and two children that have graduated from the district. While she has been one of the more vocal residents during this year’s budget season, Yager prefers to think of herself as a “co-leader” of the petition

Two and a half decades after his death, former Liverpool Police Chief Floyd Harrison is still on duty, helping to take care of a village crime victim. Chief Harrison’s family has donated a burial plot at Liverpool Cemetery for Isabella Marie, the infant who was found dead in a dumpster on Pearl Street in the village on Jan. 6. The baby’s 29-year-old mother, Nicole DeJaynes of Clay, was charged with seconddegree murder. DeJaynes’ case is pending and will be presented to a grand jury, according Please see Isabella, page 15
CNS girls stand tall with first-ever state Class AA title By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Only one result would bring satisfaction to the Cicero-North Syracuse girls basketball team in 2010-11 - namely, the program’s first-ever New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class AA championship. And on a glorious Saturday night at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, the Northstars climbed to that summit in
its usual emphatic style, unleashing every aspect of its total game in a 75-54 victory over Section V champion Gates-Chili in the AA championship game. Junior center Breanna Stewart, the state tournament MVP, delivered another dominant performance. The Universty of Connecticut-bound junior, named the Gatorade New York State Player of the Year a week earlier, earned 29 points and 16 rebounds, using her vast array of skills
to frustrate the Spartans on both ends of the floor. “She has helped put our program on the map, that is for sure,’’ said CNS head coach Eric Smith. “She’s a good kid, a hard working kid and got us going tonight.’’ Kelsey Mattice, the senior point guard going to Maine next fall, added 13 points, while Sarah Bowles, with 11 points, and Abbey Please see CNS bball, page 11

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.

Immigration in focus at St. Joe’s forum
All of us, except for Native Americans, are descendants of immigrants. Liverpool itself was founded by Irish immigrants in the early 19th century before being joined by Germans, Anglo-Saxons and Italians. But here in the 21st century immigration has become a major American controversy as millions of Hispanics and other non-citizens swell our population. This year, in an appeal titled, “Justice for Immigrants – A Journey of Hope,” Catholic bishops of the United States implore their congregations to rekindle our nation’s policies on immigration. American values cited St. Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church in Liverpool hosts an open forum on immigration reform at 6:45 p.m. Thursday March 24, at the Parish Center, 1001
Tulip St. St. Joe’s longtime pastor, the Rev. Father Charlie Major, encourages everyone to get involved. “In the back of the church we have a petition people can sign that asks our legislators to support fair and just immigration reform that reflects our nation’s history and values,” he said. On Sunday March 20, Father Charlie reminded parishioners that the inscription on New York City’s Statue of Liberty welcomes “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.” He also quoted a higher authority, citing Scripture: “…For I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35). For info, visit justiceforimmigrants.org. Corned beef chef Veteran restaurateur
Otto Weber was in the village last week cooking up delectable corned beef and cabbage dinners for customers at The Retreat. Weber, an old buddy of Retreat owner John Gormel, fills in as a guest chef here every St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Gull to get second deck Speaking of John Gormel—the man with the mile-wide smile—on March 9 the village planning board OK’d his application to build a second-floor deck on the Barking Gull, his party facility on South Willow Street near the Salt Museum. The Gull already has a first-floor deck, and a second outdoor deck should allow it to
host bigger and better summertime shindigs. Lizard adds pergola Meanwhile, at that same March 9 meeting, the Limp Lizard received contingent approval from village planners to build a shady pergola in front of its new restaurant at the former Mother’s location at 201 First St. Hired LL staffers say the new place should be smoking brisket and ribs slathered in barbecue sauce within a few weeks. Faded Fantasy While other village businesses, such as Pizza Villa and Keiffer’s Cigars, have beautified their storefronts, an adjacent neighbor’s looking relatively sad. That blanched purple awning over the entrance to Fantasy Fashions on Third Street resembles a faded swatch of lavender lingerie that has seen better days.
The governor’s quick fix to school budget woes Governor Cuomo has taken to defending his $1.5 billion dollar raid on public school financing by claiming that school districts can cover these losses by spending their fund reser ves. Clearly the governor has access to accurate information as it pertains to the fund reserves of the 696 school districts across New York State. He is quite correct in his asser tions that there is more than enough money in these reserve accounts to offset his “Deficit Elimination Adjust ment” prog ram that takes back a healthy portion of every school’s 2011-2012 State Foundation Grant in order to address his state budget problem. The governor must also realize that these local school reserves are not a savings account. School reserves are highly regulated in New York State and quite often include limits on the amount of money that can be placed within them. Surely the governor must realize that these reserve funds are dedicated for specific and defined school district costs that occur without rhythm and would cause major disturbances in the normal operations of schools where adequate
funding for them does not exist. For i nst anc e, mo st schools have tax certiorari fund reserves to protect any single year’s school operations budget against a large assault caused by a heavy barrage of tax settlements. If a taxpayer contests their assessment, it can often take years to settle the claim. If the assessment claim is successful, the school district must retroactively return to the taxpayer those dollars that were paid in excess of their new assessment tax bill. The state allows school districts to accumulate funds in their tax certiorari reserve accounts to accommodate sudden (and, often, heavy) demands on district dollars caused by tax certiorari proceedings. The state also allows school districts to accumulate reserves to pay unemployment compensation for district employees who have lost their jobs. Ironically, in this time when school districts are laying off massive numbers of employees in order to balance budgets, the governor seems to ignore the fact that the draw down on unemployment reserves could be greatly impacted.
Another area where schools are allowed to amass reserves is in employee pensions. School districts have no control over the state retirement systems. Each year the school district receives a bill for the amount of money that will be assessed to the district to cover employee pension costs. Because the state pension plan is so heavily anchored in widely vacillating investments, the school district portion of that premium can oscillate dramatically (thus the rationale for existence of the Employee Retirement System pension reserve fund). This year the Liverpool Central School District will experience an increase in pension costs of $2.5 million (alongside the governor’s recommendation to eliminate $11.5 million from Liverpool’s State Foundation Grant). Governor Cuomo has been very direct in his comments that school districts are “hiding” a vast reservoir of money within their budgets. The
Liverpool Board of Education, each year, spends a good deal of time in very public discussions reviewing its fund reserves. There is always a good measure of balance between local tax burden and caution in establishing sufficient levels within these accounts. Obviously, too much in these accounts represents an unnecessary burden on local taxpayers, while too little in any account would cause a mid-year crisis on the operational side of our school budget when demands are inadequately covered by reserves. If the governor wants schools to spend their reserves, so be it. If he strangles public school funding to get the state out of their current mess, it will no doubt require most school districts few options other than liquidation of reserves. However, he needs to give local school boards more credit than he is currently doing. They are very conscientious in monitoring these reserves and are acutely sensitive to the implications for local taxpayers relative to these funds and to what a massive spend-down of reserves may mean.

Opinion
‘Just the facts’ on New York State school rankings New unfunded mandates discussed in Cicero Many of us remember the radio and television crime drama, “Dragnet,” that starred Jack Webb as Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department. Friday’s classic line was, “just the facts, ma’am.” That’s my reaction after hearing Governor Cuomo state on Feb. 1 that New York is ranked number 34 in performance among the states, and then reading Education Week’s Quality Counts report which ranked New York second only to Maryland among the 50 states for educational policy and performance, with a grade of “B” (84.7). Overall, according to the report, the nation earned a “C” for its educational policy and performance. Let’s look at the Quality Counts study. Each year, Quality Counts “provides new results for a portion of the policy and performance areas that constitute the framework for the report’s State of the States analysis.” The most recent report presents updated scores and letter grades for all fifty states and the District of Columbia in four critical areas: ✓ Chance for Success Index: Provides a perspective on the link between education and beneficial
outcomes at each stage of a person’s life. The index combines information from 13 indicators that cover childhood through adulthood to capture three life stages. New York received a “B” in this category, ranking twelfth overall; ✓ K-12 Achievement: This index evaluates how well a state’s students perform compared with those in the top ranked state on 18 separate criteria. This index takes into account three performance-based categories: current state performance, improvements over time, and equity as measured by poverty-based achievement gaps. Although New York’s grade is a “C” at 74.3 percent, only seven other states are ahead of us. The equity issue is a real challenge for New York, and we can do better! But we’re not 34th! ✓ Transition and Alignment: This section tracks state efforts to better coordinate the connections between K-12 schooling and the other
segments of the education process, with a focus on early childhood education, college readiness, and links to the world of work. To its credit, the Board of Regents has focused on this topic and is utilizing Race to The Top mandates as leverage to change graduation requirements. New York State ranks ninth in this category, with our score at 89.3—a “B+” grade, and 11 points higher than the national average of “C+”. ✓ School Finance: The eight indicators on which states are graded encompass two important dimensions of school finance: school spending patterns and the distribution of funds within a state. Keep in mind that this study does not consider raw dollars spent. Instead, it evaluates educational spending relative to a relevant benchmark, such as regionally varying differences in costs, the nationwide level of per-pupil spending, or the total size of a state budget. For 2011, the nation as a whole earned a “C” for school finance, while New York State scored 87.3, earning a “B+” and finishing fourth overall. Just the facts, sir!
Politicians have long complained about unfunded mandates—those costly, unsubsidized programs that federal and state governments create but leave to local governments to pay for. But let’s face it, there really are no unfunded mandates. One way or another they’re all paid for by the taxpayer. It’s just a question from which taxpayer pocket—federal, state, county or local—the money is taken. The problem with these mandates is not funding but fiscal accountability. When these mandates are handed down, legislators and bureaucrats in Washington and Albany aren’t worried about how their policies and programs will be funded. They leave it to local government to raise taxes and take the heat. And often, local governments have little or no input in developing these mandated policies and programs. This was the case recently, when the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation changed its regulations dealing with drainage retention ponds. For years these ponds have been used to hold rainwater and other runoff
in large commercial and housing areas. They’ve been used widely and successfully. Under the new rules, developers no longer will be able to use retention ponds. Instead, manmade mini-wetlands called “rain gardens” will be planted and developed to absorb the runoff. Environmentally this may be a good idea, but who knows? As far as I know, no one from the DEC has ever discussed these rain gardens with anyone in Cicero. We don’t know if special training is needed to maintain them and we don’t know the impact they will have. New York has a diverse environment. Cicero’s ecology is different from many Downstate communities and our ecology is not the same as many North Country communities. In fact, it is not the same as many Central New York communities. Much of Cicero was once swampland. That’s why the town faces annual drainage problems. That’s why we’re troubled and plagued by mosquitoes in the summer. Will these rain gardens exacerbate these problems? Right now, no one in the town has the answer.
Jim Corl, Jr. Cicero Town Councilor We also don’t know how much it will cost the town to maintain these rain gardens. Like many of us today, local governments also are financially strapped. Local governments do not have the luxury of simply passing down fiscal responsibility. We need to do everything we can to keep taxes low and not overburden our residents who are also our neighbors. Our fiscal accountability stops with the taxpayer. It’s time other levels of government act responsibly, too. Lawmakers and policy bureaucrats need to think about how the programs they pass down impact taxpayers. Perhaps if they became more fiscally responsible they would think twice about what they pass onto local governments to implement and fund.
From the Mailbag
To the editor, They say if you don’t ask, people don’t know the need exists. We need help from businesses and people who can contribute to our long range operational funding for our after-school program, the CanTeen. Friends of the CanTeen Board Members are not asking for large financial commitments all at one time, but funds spread out over a four to five year time frame. This would allow the program to count on funds on an annual basis. Our community continues to be extremely generous, but now with the cuts in state funding we are turning to the businesses, banks and the corporate world to keep our dream alive; to make a difference in the lives of youth in our community. Both businesses and individuals can help us by endowing us with long
term funding in the years to come. Our building grant money will be used to purchase, renovate and expand a current structure to accommodate the youth who attend from the North Syracuse Central School District. This purchase is being made to reduce our overall expenses by eliminating over $30,000 for rent and utilities. The CanTeen has always been fiscally responsible over the years, even in the face of five different moves and three major attempts to cut all our funding. This building project is also a joint effort on behalf of many who are donating their services to us. We have secured an architect who is donating his professional services and the Central and Northern New York Building and Construction Trades Council have agreed to provide all the labor to complete the Please see Letters, page 15

Schools LHS Senior of the Week
LHS Annex March Students of the Month
James Savo By Caitlin Donnelly
editor@eaglenewsonline.com This week’s Liverpool High School Senior of the Week is James Savo. He is a member of the National Honor Society and the Yearbook Club and enjoys his broadcasting class in school. One of Savo’s favorite activities is sports. He plays varsity lacrosse, as well as CYO basketball. In his free time he volunteers with the Upstate Lacrosse Association. Savo said the greatest influence in his life has been his parents, because they have always encouraged him to do his best.

Liverpool Dollars for Scholars Phone-a-thon, efforts still going strong Submitted by Susan Lotierzo Winter weather forced the cancellation of the first night of our annual Phone-a-thon, but March 13 was a success thanks in part to the generosity of the entire Liverpool community. Approximately 100 student volunteers contacted district residents, family members and friends, collecting a total of nearly $15,000 in pledges which is considerably more than last year. If you missed our call, we hope you will respond generously to the mailed request for a donation to make your contribution. We especially appreciate the community commitment during these difficult economic times. Board member Matt Hinkey spearheaded the event with help from other adult volunteers. Members of the Board of Directors trained the students; served pizza, snacks and beverages; and oversaw the entire process. We were impressed with the students who came to help—including their friendliness, appreciation for the food, and their work ethic. It is gratifying to see the students working as hard as we are for scholarships, which will be awarded to graduating Liverpool High School seniors at a special reception on June 22. Liverpool Dollars for Scholars application forms were distributed to seniors following the senior assembly on Feb. 28. Completed applications are due in the Liverpool High School Counseling Center (Room 405) no later than 3 p.m. on Friday April 1. Consult the website, liverpool.k12.ny.us, for more info. The Dollars for Scholars Selection Committee will meet later this spring to choose the winners and alternates based on student qualifications and specific criteria for each scholarship. Scholarship donors and winners will be invited to the June 22 reception, the next big event on our agenda. The reception gives us a chance to publicly acknowledge the individuals and organizations that sponsor the event and the donors who contribute the
scholarship money, as well as recognize the students who win the scholarships. Sponsors are needed to underwrite the cost of the reception; contact Board President John Cerrone at 451-4653 if you can help. Plans are also in the works for our annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Tour-
nament, which will be held at Foxfire in Baldwinsville on June 26. Golfers and sponsors are needed for the event. This is our second largest fundraiser. Contact Don Budmen at 652-1702 to sign up. Extensive community participation makes the golf tournament a worthwhile fundraiser and an enjoyable social event.

Timpano, with 10 points, also hit double figures. Mattice and Bowles joined Stewart on the All-Tournament team. “We got a pretty darn good supporting cast and they shared it well today.’’ Smith said. “I think this game was the best game of the year for us.� CNS has played six postseason games - and has won by double figures in every one of them. Like the others, the state final featured the Northstars inevitably imposing its collective will on Gates-Chili, the Rochester-area school also was seeking its first state championship. Facing an 8-7 deficit to the Spartans early in a fastpaced first quarter, CNS seized the lead for good by going on a 12-0 run. What made it so exceptional was that Stewart only had the last two points in that spurt. Bowles kicked it off with a 3-pointer, then added another basket in the run as Timpano and Mattice also converted Gates-Chili turnovers into field goals on the other end. It all helped the Northstars lead 19-12 after one period. The Spartans hung in there the rest of the half, but with the score 27-21 just before halftime, CNS began the surge that put a state championship away. It began with Cara Gannett hitting a basket and Stewart converting to expand the Northstars’ edge to 31-21 by halftime. With that momentum, CNS then got the first nine points

of the third period - a 3pointer from Mattice, then three consecutive baskets from Timpano. We had the lead at half, but we weren’t playing our best,’’ said Stewart. “We needed to be a bit more intense. We came out of the third quarter and made a couple of steals and got some easy baskets. We knew we still had a half left so we needed to share the basketball and continue to defend.’’ As if that wasn’t enough, Stewart began to have her way inside, using a series of nifty post moves, plus her proven power, to get 19 second-half points as CNS led by as much as 25 in the fourth quarter before easing up. For the game, the Northstars shot 61 percent from the field, overcoming a fine effort from Gates-Chili freshman Cierra Dillard, who amassed 25 points, six steals and four assists. With 1:54 left and the championship settled, head coach Eric Smith brought out all the starters - Stewart, Mattice, Bowles, Timpano and Brittany Paul - to a standing ovation from the CNS fans that had traveled to Troy. Moments later, senior Danielle Jimenez provided an exclamation point with a 3-pointer that drew more loud cheers, and as the buzzer sounded the team piled on each other in jubliation, then quickly got up to receive their medals and the state championship plaque - the first for any Section III team since South Jefferson (Class B) in 2006.
A night earlier, CNS earned its shot at the crown by smothering Baldwin 55-35 in the state AA semifinals. Baldwin, the Section VIII champions from Nassau County on Long Island, arrived with a 21-1 record, but soon found out, as so many teams before them, that it had no answer for Stewart. By herself, Stewart outscored Baldwin in the first half, 18 points to 14, and didn’t stop until she had registered 28 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and four steals - all in front of Chris Dailey, the Connecticut associate head coach in attendance for the game. What made Stewart’s effort more impressive was the fact that, late in the first quarter, she picked up her second foul, usually a signal to go to the bench, rest and not risk further danger. But with CNS only leading 13-9 after one period, that choice was not ideal. So Smith kept in Stewart - and she started scoring at will against a Baldwin front line with no starter taller than 5-10. Already with nine points as the second period started, she added nine more as the margin grew to 28-14 by the time they reached the half. Not content with that, CNS clamped down fur-
ther on defense during a 19-8 push through the third quarter. All game long, Stewart took away the middle, forcing Baldwin into outside shots - few of which fell. Of Baldwin’s 26 attempts from beyond the 3-point line, it only made four. Paul, Bowles, Mattice, Gannett, Timpano and Julie Hauberg all had strong efforts as Baldwin’s top scorer, Katie Greene, had just 12 points. Paul, with 11 points, offered Stewart the main help on the offensive side, while Bowles added six points. Even with the state public high school championship secure, the CNS story isn’t over. The Northstars (22-2) are going to Albany’s Times Union Center this weekend to play in the State Federation Championships. CNS meets Murry Bergrtraum, the New York City Public School Athletic League champions, Saturday at 2 p.m., with the winner to advance to Sunday’s noon final against Nazareth, the Catholic High School Athletic Association representative. Maureen Kelly contributed to this report.

Community News Joyful Noises Concert Series continues Mastrangelo and La Manna collaborate during March 27 event Submitted by Linda Loomis Principal second violinist of the Naples [Florida] Philharmonic Orchestra, David Mastrangelo, will collaborate with NPO conductor, Juan Francis La Manna, to perform works by Schumann, Bach, and Ravel at 4 p.m. Sunday March 27 at the Liverpool First United Methodist Church. This highly professional duo came together when La Manna, professor of music at SUNY Oswego, accepted the conducting post in Naples and discovered that he and Mastrangelo shared many values and philosophies regarding musical presentations. “I have always been rewarded when performing chamber music as a piano accompanist for talented performers. David and I discovered we had many things in common, and our conversations led to our performing at various chamber music venues in Florida,” said La Manna. “It is a joy to anticipate bringing our music to Central New York, where we share mutual ties.” Mastrangelo, who grew up and began his musical studies in Liverpool, will be coming home when he spends a busy week performing for Civic Morning Musicals, the SUNY Oswego Kenekt Chamber Series, The Oswego Orchestra spring concert, and the Joyful Noise Concert March 27.
The performers will join James Welsch for a radio preview of the concert March 25 on Classics at Noon, hosted by Bill Baker, WCNY. “Music lovers in this area are blessed to have access to such accomplished performers,” Welsch said. “At other performance venues, audience members must pay for admission. The Joyful Noises Series asks only for donations of whatever each person can comfortably afford.” The concert series continues May 1 with the Joyful Noises mission of highlighting exciting student talent that is nurtured by our Director of Music Ministry James Welsch and his colleagues at the Setnor School of Music. This spring we present Chamber Ensembles comprised of the most accomplished students in various ensemble configurations that will perform classical music selections with strings and piano. Peter Rovit, who performed earlier this year on violin, will prepare the program. A special treat for all is the Mother’s Day concert presented by Eastman School of Music professor of piano, Russell Miller, in collaboration with SUNY Oswego vocal professor, Todd Graber. Graber, a tenor, presented a recital of American Art Music last year for Joyful Noise. The concerts are free, accessible, informal and held Sunday evenings at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary of the Liverpool First United Methodist Church, 604 Oswego Street. Audience members say they enjoy hearing the artists in the comfortable, intimate setting of the sanctuary and getting to speak to the performers following the events. Many regular attendees have made the concerts part of their routine, planning outings with friends for lunch or dinner surrounding the concert times.

At the end of 2007, I was responsible for coordinating the installation of all telecommunications services during a library move. At the same time, I worked with the library director to implement a plan to place adult nonfiction books in a hybrid Dewey system that utilizes bookstore style categories. I believe that we were the first library in New York State to use such a system. What’s something that has caught your interest recently, or something you wish you knew more about? I am very interested in photography. A longtime friend and I travel to dif-

If you had to pick a career/occupation/profession other than the one you currently have, what could you see yourself doing? When I decided to enter library school, I intended on becoming an archivist.
I also considered being a social studies teacher. Who are the three people you’d invite to dinner (living or not)? Over the last year and a half, my family has lost three very important members. If I had the chance to have such a dinner, I would want my mother-in-law, grandmother and sister to be there. There are so many things that I would like to talk with them about and it would be so wonderful to see them again.

to Onondaga County First Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Trunfio. She’s being held without bail in the Corbett Justice Center in Syracuse. After reading newspaper stories about the Liverpool Police Department’s plans to arrange a funeral for the dead baby, Harrison’s son and two daughters decided to donate a resting place located next to their parents’ graves in Liverpool Cemetery. Isabella Marie’s memorial Mass is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday March 26, at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church at Sixth and Tulip streets in the village. Burial will follow at the adjacent Liverpool Cemetery. Even in death, the infant is a ward of the state, according to LPD Chief Bill Becker. While police conducted their investigation of the baby’s death, the LPD received permission from the state to name the infant and to bury her. Two LPD officers are expected to serve as Isabella’s pallbearers on Saturday. Chief Becker said contributions can be made in the baby’s name to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, 750 E. Adams St., Syracuse, NY 13210. Besides the Harrisons, several other individuals and businesses have contributed to Isabella Marie’s funeral arrangements. LPD clerk Brenda Giacchi gave the baby her name. In Latin, bella means “beautiful.” Ken Luster, owner of the Ballweg & Lunsford Funeral Home, 4612 S. Salina St., in Syracuse, donated embalming services and a casket. Gloria Manns, the widow of longtime LPD Sgt. Dan Manns, sewed a burial gown for the baby. Liverpool’s Maurer Funeral Home coordinated the donation of the Harrison’s cemetery plot. Burdick-Enea Memorials and DeRegis-Walser Monuments of Syracuse donated an engraved granite monument. Chief Harrison, who helmed the LPD for 24 years before his retirement in 1970, died Aug. 29, 1987,

From page 5 umes to every one of us. We are proud of our accomplishments and the youth who have participated in the program, which totals well over 5,000 teens since our inception. Our graduates are productive members of the society. They have found jobs, finished college, obtained a trade, enlisted in the military, gotten married and have children of their own. They have exercised their right to vote. They are our future and we have a responsibility to help them navigate the world we have created for them. We now reach almost 500 teens at our current location that sits on Rt.11 and it is remote at best. With our move closer to the high school, we automatically make our program more readily available to more youth.
When we were located at New Country Plaza, just west of the school, we saw over 100 youth per day and touched the lives of over 1100 students in a single year. Our staff has not rested on their laurels with out stretched hands. The Friends of the CanTeen (501c3) has raised over $30,000 per year for operating expenses with the Cicero Gus Macker 3 v. 3 basketball event in August and other smaller fundraisers. The teens themselves are responsible for raising money towards their program operations as well. We have sought grants with the assistance of North Syracuse Central School District staff and SU grant writers. The municipalities of Clay, Cicero, Salina and the village of North Syracuse have stood with us and we have used
their funds to leverage funding from other public and private sources. NYS Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, recently stated, “instead of waiting until a child becomes a delinquent, New Yorkers will be better served by addressing problems at the start. Investing in children early is not only the right thing to do, but it also protects the taxpayer dollars. It currently costs $210,000 per person to incarcerate a youth for a year.� We believe that our attempts to give teens services, supports and opportunities within the community is money
well spent. If we provide enough support to just one child who goes on to be a productive member of society, then we show a big return to the community. As a note, this amount of money could fund our current program for well over a year. Research says that it takes five to six caring adults in an individual youth’s life to get them to age 21 and ready for work, college and life. Our program is turning out confident youth who are better prepared through leadership and service and have a sense that their community cares and em-

This happened, too often, and people moved away once digital options, especially iTunes, opened up. Now they mostly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother with whole albums, for good reason. A majority of artists simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough to have their work sustain itself for a whole record. Add to that another modern horror â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AutoTune. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no defense for this. Whether in pop or country or any other genre, far too many performers resort to this pitch correction so that they can â&#x20AC;&#x153;performâ&#x20AC;? better.

Jon Bon Jovi committed the most egregious sin imaginable. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the mere fact that he exists (as some will snark), or that his music, praised and panned in equal volume, proved rather successful in the not-so-distant past. Worse, far worse, JBJ had the nerve, the sheer gall, to take a shot at Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Jobs, the Man Who Can Do No Wrong. In a recent interview with the Times Magazine, Bon Jovi lamented the total shift to iTunes and digital downloads and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve Jobs is personally responsible for killing the music business.â&#x20AC;? Of course Jon has received endless grief for this statement, slammed as another out-of-touch old man who just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. And those are the kind words. Yet read the whole quote, and JBJ does make a valid point about how young people, in this generation, are missing out on the whole experience
of going to a record store since all they need to do is click and download what they want. True, music is more portable, and we have more choices, and we can pick out just the songs we want and discard the filler. But is that truly better? Or is it just isolating us, and our tastes, from others whose tastes might be different? All these are valid questions. Where JBJ was off was in his target of who, or what, brought the music industry down. Mainly, in my view, record companies and/or their business partners have consistently misread, or even underestimated, the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to determine what is good and what is not. They also think publicity and headlines should outweigh talent. Worse yet, in the heyday of the CD they kept records at $15 to $20, regardless of quality. Thus, even if you took the leap of faith and bought it, you had to pray that the whole thing was good, not just two songs out of 10.

‘Hackerspace’settles into Syracuse Building, seeks new members Syracuse Innovators Guild brings global hackerspace trend to CNY By Ami Olson
editor@theeaglecny.com A brand new community is forming in rented office space on the second floor of Syracuse’s oldest downtown buildings. Syracuse Innovators Guild, a hackerspace headquartered in the Syracuse Building at 224 Harrison St., already counts around 20 members who are hoping to grow the group. This calls for a brief vocabulary lesson. The term “hackerspace” technically refers to a community workspace where skills are shared and projects completed, though it often implies a stereotypically nerdy subset; a variety of talents, skills and interests are cultivated through hackerspaces. “It’s up to people to come, make the most of its space and work on things they think are interesting,” said SIG Vice President Mo Morsi, a software engineer. Think of what would happen if you took the old basement workshop, transplanted it into a public space or storefront and threw open the door to anyone willing to share skills,
ideas and materials for the sake of learning and creating. That’s hackerspace. Though it’s just gaining ground in Syracuse, hackerspaces are already thriving in cities around the world, and closer to home in Rochester, Buffalo and Pittsburgh. The Syracuse hackerspace began with an ad on Craigslist placed by now-President Clayton Stetz, looking for people interested in starting such a group locally. Stetz, Morsi and Pete Dowell comprised the first informal meeting of what would become SIG, and the group quickly grew. For nearly its first year, SIG was a group of people with similar interests meeting regularly in some of Syracuse’s best bars to share ideas and update each other on their own ongoing projects. Last November, the group became a registered non-profit in New York thanks to treasurer Christopher J. Pilkington, (federal 501c-3 status is in the works), and in January established a home base in the Syracuse Building. The non-profit status speaks to the “for the community” philosophy behind SIG, said Morsi, and will make more grants and donations available to the group. That’s important for an organization that is fueled by donations of scrap and
spare parts. “Everything here is donated by members, it’s a completely member-driven organization,” Morsi said. And “everything” includes everything from furniture, a collection of computer towers to a box labeled “robot guts. “Nerds are packrats,” added Jeff Mahon, an electrical engineer and secretary of SIG. The existing membership may be heavy on the engineering side (“I can’t lie, there are quite a few techies,” Morsi said), but SIG is really open to all backgrounds and skill sets. Artists, entrepreneurs and library staffers have also attended open houses and other events at SIG, Morsi said. The broader the range of backgrounds, interests and skills that make up the membership the more opportunities members will have to learn from one another, and that’s what SIG is all about. “Community and collaboration,” Morsi said. The group is especially interested in tapping into the student community in Syracuse. Some students have already taken advantage of SIG, like Mark Scrano, a student at ITT Tech in Liverpool. But to attract more, the monthly dues of $50 are reduced to $25 for students. “We’d love to have more artists and musicians, too,”

Jeff Mahon, an electrical engineer and secretary of the Syracuse Innovators Guild, explains his latest project: replacing a circuit board on a donated LED sign so it can be reprogrammed. Another SIG member, Pete Dowell, is working on a wireless communication circuit to operate the sign wirelessly. Morsi said. One of the biggest appeals of hackerspaces, SIG included, is how they tie into the growing DIY movement. Sites like Instructables.com and Hackaday.com offer step-bystep instructions on using deconstructed objects or simple materials to create functional things. Learning skills from another human being – instead of the Internet – has its advantages. “Google is great, but at some point it’s awesome just to go to a person and be like, ‘I don’t know anything about web programming, can you just help me out?’” Mahon said.
Mahon pointed to “the beginnings of a movement” of people knowing how to fix things, in contrast with the disposable society of the last 20 to 30 years as another driver to the hackerspace popularity. Adding a social aspect to a project can help keep the momentum and energy going to see a project through to completion, Mahon and Morsi agreed. But that can also be intimidating, Mahon recognized. “If you come in and work with someone, a lot of the time, although it looks complicated, it isn’t really that complicated,” he said. “No one wants to fail, but
there’s a lot to be said for just rolling up your sleeves and screwing up, learning from it and trying again.” Syracuse Innovators Guild holds a weekly open house at 7 p.m. every Tuesday, open to everyone. SIG members plan to offer workshops for basic skills like soldering in the near future. The group is, as you might expect, all over the Internet.

Ag Literacy Week provides opportunity for primary grades Cayuga Museum seeks entrants for Case Film Festival New York Agriculture in the Classroom will sponsor Ag Literacy Week March 21to 25. Second grade classrooms are encouraged to participate. Ag Literacy Week provides an opportunity for someone from the local ag community to visit an elementary school to teach kids about where our food comes from. Visitors are encouraged to read “Chicks and Chickens” by Gail Gibbons. This year’s theme focuses on the poultry industry. Gibbons has written and illustrated more than 135 books and is known for her non-fiction geared for young readers. “New York Ag in the Classroom is a great way for our youth to learn about the importance of our ag industry. About
25 percent of the state’s land area, or 7.55 million acres, are used by the 35,600 farms to produce a very diverse array of food products,” said Barclay. “It’s important for kids to learn where our food comes from. Those children become the buying public who can support the local growers and keep local farmers in business.” “Chicks and Chickens” follows the life of chickens from embryos to hatchlings, and finally to adults. The book is also appropriate for first and third graders as well. Teachers can sign up to take advantage of the opportunity by having a volunteer read in the classroom. Readers can volunteer to go into a local school and read and talk to students about the importance of New York agricul-
ture in their daily lives. New York Agriculture in the Classroom is also sponsoring a contest called Be Aware of Agriculture Contest. For more information on this contest for grades K to 6 or to sign up to participate in New York Ag Literacy Week, people may call representatives in their respective counties. In Onondaga County, people may call Derek Hill at (315) 696-6235 or email him at dhill@tully.k12.ny.us. For more information on the contest, visit www. nyaged.org/aitc or call Heather Davis at (607) 2559253. New York Ag in the Classroom is a partnership of Cornell University, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, New York State Education Department and New York Farm Bureau.

paying closer attention to the actions of Dr. Johns and the board of education. After her numerous questions about district spending were left unanswered, and Dr. Johns stated that he should have taken more time to consider the closure of WRE in a television interview, she had had enough. She compiled the petition text and set out to collect signatures door-to-door. “This isn’t just about my child, but our children,” Yager said. Julie Matson, mother of a ninth grade daughter at the Annex, has been attending board meetings since Dr. Johns was hired in 2009, and her distaste for the superintendent has also grown. “Sharon’s been saying a lot of the same things that I’ve been thinking,” Matson said, so she decided to get involved with the petitions and help spread information to those that
may be less informed on the topic. Ruf, mother of three daughters that graduated from the district and a former district substitute teacher, has seen the district work from the inside for years. “I started connecting the dots and realizing things don’t add up,” she said. A supporter of the arts and foe of the current block scheduling, Ruf said she has been vocal in the district since at least 2004, and the board of education has “absolutely not” been welcoming to community feed back. She said she hopes the petitions will bring about change to the district. The petition to remove Superintendent Johns reads: “The signatures attached to this petition represent the voices of individuals who look to you, the Liverpool Central School District Board of
Education, to act in the best interest of the taxpayers, students, faculty and staff of the Liverpool Central School District. It is our belief that if Dr. Johns remains the superintendent of this district, this cannot be accomplished. He should resign or be removed.” The petition to remove the FOCUS Academy from the 2011-2012 budget states: “It is our belief that the board needs to remove the F.O.C.U.S Academy from the 2011-2012 school budget before it is adopted at the board’s meeting, currently scheduled for April 11, 2011.” Lisa Reed, who has a son in eighth grade at Soule Road Middle School, was one of the many supporters that came out to sign the petitions on Saturday. Her main concern was with the FOCUS Academy, which she thought was just being used as a
tool to generate more state funding. “The focus should be on the kids that actually want to learn,” she said. As for Dr. Johns, she said she would like to see him gone because she doesn’t agree with his visions for the district. “The sad thing is, he’ll eventually be gone, but our kids will still be here dealing with the mess he leaves behind,” she said. George and Gail Checksfield, Liverpool residents for over 30 years, also came out to sign the petitions because both said they feel that Dr. Johns has a “heavy hand” in the district, and the board is not doing a good job listening to residents, because “nobody in the community wants this proposed FOCUS Academy.” The petitions currently have a total of 270 signatures from residents of all ages, not just those with

The FOCUS Academy petition will be presented to the board of education during their next meeting at 7 p.m. March 28 at the District Offices, leaving enough time for consideration before the board adopts the budget on April 11.

Random thoughts snared a top-seller with The King Is Dead, recorded in a barn with real instruments and real voices – with really good songs from start to finish. For me, though, the most striking example of how the public still has good taste, when allowed to express it, is in the rise of a young woman from Britain named Adele. A couple of years ago, Adele’s debut, simply called 19, helped propel her to the Best New Artist Grammy, and deservedly so. With a resonant and soulful voice, she could skip from ballad to dance track without losing any of her power. What’s more, she never oversings just to show off. It’s a lesson divas twice her age never learn. Adele’s self-penned songs in the debut were, at times, uneven, but a few stay in the bloodstream long after you listened to them. Just try to listen to “Chasing Pavements” or “Hometown Glory” and not be moved. Oh yeah, and not one note AutoTuned. Good as that was, Adele’s follow-up, the justreleased 21, is even better. More versatility is shown,
LHS Athletic Hall of Fame seeks nominations Liverpool High School is currently seeking nominations for this year’s Athletic Hall of Fame induction, to take place June 7. To be eligible, a candidate must: have graduated from Liverpool High School; have participated in at least one varsity sport at LHS; submit, or have submitted on their behalf, a written resume of his/her athletic achievements at LHS; and be at least five years out of high school (before the class of 2008).Nominations will be taken until March 31. For a nomination form, visit the Liverpool Central School District Web site at liverpool.k12.ny.us/athletichof or call Liverpool High School at 453-1500.
From page 16 and the songs, all about (or inspired by) a relationship that had just ended, shows a young woman who writes as well as she belts. Even the cover tracks shine. The first time around, Adele made Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” her own, a nearly impossible trick. On 21, she does the same with the Cure’s “Lovesong”, turning a somewhat morbid late80s standard into a cool, wistful bossa nova number with awesome guitar backing. Lo and behold, 21 topped the album charts here in the States and in many other countries. The sad part is that some take shots at Adele because, well, she carries a few more pounds. What, you want her to be anorexic and/or strung out? So to Mr. Bon Jovi, the music industry is not dead and no one, Jobs or otherwise, is going to euthanize it. Not as long as Adele and her friends are around to keep things interesting – and as long as fans recognize that talent and reward it.

The Prayer to the Blessed Virgin. (Never known to fail)
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. O’star of the sea, help me and show me where you are my Mother. O’Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure 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. Amen Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days and after 3 days your request will be granted and the prayer must be published. Thank you! F.D.

Around Town Improv festival planned for April will bring more than 30 troupes to Syracuse comedy improv troupes and increasing community awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The four of us have each lived in New York City or Los Angeles, two hotbeds of improvisational comedy,â&#x20AC;? Intaglietta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how a vibrant community around improv works for the benefit of everyone. More people for improvisers to play with, more quality comedy for audiences to watch.â&#x20AC;? Improv is an increasingly popular form of comedy where performers create scenes based on audience suggestions. Syracuse is currently home to several high school troupes, Syracuse Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zamboni Revolution, and troupes like Satanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Closet, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Feed the Actors, Oregon Fail, and Red House Live. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even the Salt City
Improv Theater located in ShoppingTown Mall. Â Thumbs UPstate organizers hope to attract up to 30 troupes from Upstate New York to the St. Clare Theater, an underutilized venue in Syracuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Northside UP is thrilled to help host the Thumbs UPstate Improv Festival,â&#x20AC;? said Sara Caliva, a program manager with Northside
tending groups, beginners workshops for those looking to try something new, advanced workshops in both short form and long form improv led by veteran improv educators. A festival pass for both days, including performances and workshops, costs $10. Tickets to view the performances cost $5 each night; beginnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshops cost $10 and maren guse
Thumbs Upstate Improv Festival organizers Ken Keech, Joe Blum and Mike Intaglietta present their idea for a two-day improve comedy event at the first Salt City DISHES dinner in January. The group didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the funding that night, but plan to hold the festival April 8 and 9. UP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect that the festival will benefit local merchants and further energize the emerging arts scene within the neighborhood.â&#x20AC;? The festival will consist of performances by at-

Improv comedy is thriving all around Upstate New York, says improv enthusiast Joe Blum. The improve scene enjoys especially strong college troupes in Binghamton, Clinton, Oswego and Rochester with college troupes, semi-pro troupes in Ithaca and Albany and all-out pros in Rochester and Buffalo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all this talent everywhere. There are great venues, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an audience. But for all of that, there still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a real improv community,â&#x20AC;? said Blum, a co-director of the Thumbs UPstate Improv Festival set for April 8 and 9 in Syracuse. Â Blum, along with Syracuse improv veterans Ken Keech, Vanessa Rose and Mike Intaglietta, plan to solve the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no communityâ&#x20AC;? problem by uniting
