During the Feb. 28 Liverpool Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Richard Johns presented his 2011-2012 budget proposal before the board and a full house of students, teachers, parents and Liverpool residents. In his proposal, Dr. Johns announced his $132,852,400 budget, which calls for a 4.4 percent tax increase for local residents. This 20112012 proposed budget is only 1.2 percent higher than the $131,277,809 budget that was adopted for the 2010-2011 school year, and actually less than the $132,981,924 budget adopted during the 2008-9009 school year. To make up for the $11.5 million shortfall in state aid due to Governor Cuomo’s proposed state budget, Dr. Johns suggested 30 personnel cuts from Liverpool Central School District staffing, which he broke down to 16 teachers, five teaching assistants, two administrators, four support staff, and three from operations and maintenance. This was then compared to the 130 positions cut during last school year’s budgeting. During the presentation, he stated he was trying to keep as many teachers in the classrooms and eliminate as few teachers as pos-
sible. Other cuts included $699,256 in off-site student programming. Dr. Johns also gave his FOCUS Academy proposal during the presentation. He outlined the program as a 90-student alternative education path designed for kids that are not having success in high school and have no drug or violence issues. Eleven personnel—including seven full time, and four part time positions shared by the high school—would make up the FOCUS Academy staff. Equipment, technology and supplies would be budgeted in to Liverpool High School spending, and custodial staffing would be used from LHS. The presentation also included a breakdown of Dr. Johns’ technology plan, which included $2.7 million in purchases on technology equipment, including classroom projectors and laptop computers; and leasing of an additional 500 laptops for grades 10 through 12. Prior to the budget presentation, Liverpool resident Sharon Yager addressed the board with a written letter questioning the district’s spending and motives, and announcing the circulation of a petition for the resignation of Dr. Johns to be signed by local residents. For Dr. Johns’ PowerPoint budget presentation, and a complete line budget, visit Liverpool.

Village holds public hearings, sets date for another By Caitlin Donnelly
editor@eaglenewsonline.com Two public hearings were held to discuss the current Community Development project and the fee schedule for peddlers and solicitors in the village during the North Syracuse Village Board Meeting on Feb. 24. The first public hearing addressed the fund request for the ongoing Community Development project, in which the town is fixing the road and sidewalks along South Main Street. The village engineer, James Trasher, informed the board that village would be apply for
a $100,000 grant to fund the project. The second public hearing was held to discuss the cost of licenses for peddlers and solicitors that wish to go door-to-door in the village. Previously, the peddlers and solicitors only had to register with the village. By amending the village law, the peddlers and solicitors would have to pay a yetto-be-determined fee for a license, as well as a fee for a background check. All the trustees, as well as Mayor Diane Browning, agreed licensing would be a good choice, though no decisions were finalized. In addition, the board
approved the authorization for North Syracuse Police Chief Thomas Connelly to hire Daniel Leneker as a part-time police officer in the village with no benefits. He has five years of policing experience, and currently works for the Cicero Police Department. A public hearing date was also set prior to the March 10 meeting to discuss the modification of the current village code concerning snow removal from a person’s property. The next meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. March 10 at the North Syracuse Community Center, 600 South Bay Road in North Syracuse.

News from NOPL Story Time at the Library By Meg Backus
Adult programming librarian I recently overheard a 4-year-old girl bemoan to her mother the observation that “mean boys don’t understand cuteness.” “ They don’t understand?” her mom asked, with sympathy. “Like,” the girl clarified, “they don’t get what’s good about it.” This little girl went on playing with a stuffed panda bear, talking herself through a working theory of relative cuteness. It was extraordinary, not to mention very, very cute. Kids and curiosity go together. Parents marvel at their kids’ sponge-like absorption of new information and new experiences. NOPL takes the library’s role in serving children and their families very seriously. Each of the three NOPL locations staffs a full-time children’s librarian, all of whom work hard to understand and to provide what kids need to learn and grow.
Furthermore, these librarians understand cuteness. One of the most impressive resources available for kids at NOPL libraries is Story Hour, which each librarian offers one to three times per week. Story Hour is a program dedicated to promoting early literacy in young children by introducing them to words, rhythms, music, and exploratory experiences.
sign activities that are able to send kids on wondrous adventures. Nicole Hershberger, children’s librarian at the Cicero NOPL who completely gets what’s good about cuteness, held a special story hour for toddlers last Friday that doubled as a stuffed animal sleepover. The kids were instructed to bring a stuffed friend to story time (one they could part with overnight), then Submitted photo
Monster, Brian Bear, Tigger, and Snake, owned by NOPL story hour-goers, enjoy a night of camping at the library. Story Hour is a great time for toddlers and preschoolers to have fun, educational, social time with a librarian who follows all the latest news in books and resources for kids. These events can provide parents with a positive example of educational interactions and activities they can repeat at home with their children. The kids have a ball responding to the librarians’ prompts, interacting with the stories, songs, parents, and each other.

Sam’s passing rekindles rock’ n’ roll memories Remember drag-racing on John Glenn Boulevard? How about cruising Route 11 after a meal of Carroll’s clubburgers? Or were you more interested in the submarine races along Onondaga Lake Park? Maybe you were there that summer evening in 1964 when Sam & The Twisters played one of its weirdest gigs atop the snack bar at the old North DriveIn before a screening of “A Hard Day’s Night.” WNDR radio disc jockeys convinced the band to do the show as a promotion. Sam and the boys played a few of their own tunes and backed up national recording artist Diane Renay who had a smash hit with “Navy Blue.” “She was a knockout,” bandleader Sam Amato recalled years later. “I got to spend the whole day with her, which is probably the whole reason I did it. So we did that thing on top of the North Drive-In food stand and it was a disaster. You couldn’t believe the mosquitoes!” ‘Transylvania Twist’ An icon of the glory days of CNY rock n’ roll, Sam
Amato died Feb. 17, in Winter Haven, Fla. He was 69. In 1963, Sam & The Twisters and the Bigtree Sisters backed up Channel 9’s Baron Daemon (Mike Price) to wax the biggest hit single ever to come out of Syracuse, “The Transylvania Twist,” which was based on the Twisters’ song “Fooba Wooba John.” Recorded at Mike Riposo’s studio down city, the Daemon 45 rpm disc sold 12,000 copies to become the area’s top-selling local record ever. The Twisters, who later morphed into the Livin’ Ennd, featured Sam and Mickey Palumbo on guitars, along with bassist Al Wolf and drummer Jan Fetterly, who lived in Liverpool. A graduate of North Syracuse High School, Sam always said the band was born at Joe’s Pizza House in North Syracuse, but the combo really reached musical maturity when Fetterly sat down at the trap set. In early 1959, Amato met Fetterly who was a star baseball pitcher at Liverpool High. “I had a constant problem trying to talk him into coming to [band] practice,”
Amato remembered. “Jan probably did have a future in baseball, but I convinced him music was the answer. That’s really where it all started.” The Dutchman’s recalled Sam & The Twisters played all of CNY’s top nightspots, including the Red Dog Saloon, Hewitt’s, The Brookside, the Holiday Bowl and the Fayetteville Inn. The rockin’ quartet drew fans to Liverpool-area dance halls like The Dutchman’s on the Seneca River under the Route 370 bridge, Three Rivers Inn and Dandy Dan’s Teen Canteen. The Twisters once backed up Gary “U.S.” Bonds— whose single “Quarter to Three” was a No. 1 hit in 1961—for an entire week at the 320 Club on old Liverpool Road. While he loved playing those innovative electric guitar licks, Sam also loved
Preschool education a benefit, not a burden A few weeks ago on a Wednesday evening, we held a listening session at Roxboro Road Middle School. As you would expect, most of the discussion centered around this year’s budget situation and possible reductions. In the course of the evening, one of the participants voiced an opinion that New York State should eliminate funding for preschool kindergarten programs and reallocate the dollars saved to other programs. Coincidentally, that afternoon I had visited the preschool special education program at the Main Street School. During my visit, I watched outstanding teachers working with 3- and 4-year-olds, at differing developmental levels, but all very intent on listening to their teachers and interacting well with their peers. It was rewarding to hear from their teachers how much progress
the students were making, especially those in their second year at Main Street. The preschool special education program is primarily for disabled -3 and 4year-old youngsters. Onondaga County contracts with the North Syracuse Central School District to operate the program that is open to all eligible youngsters in the county. At the present time, the counties are responsible for 59.5 percent of approved costs for preschool special education services and programs, while the state is responsible for the remaining 40.5 percent. It would be safe to say that most counties would prefer to eliminate funding for preschool special education. From a local perspective, 80 percent of the students reside in the North Syracuse Central School District. In fact, 15 percent of our kin-
dergarten students are Main Street graduates, further supporting K-12 student achievement and lowering special education costs. I continue to worry about the financial future of Main Street, especially due to the reluctance of the State Education Department to adjust tuition rates during the past few years. It has been a real challenge for the Main Street staff, as they have faced rising costs and little increase in revenue. In order to keep the program in the black for this year, it was necessary to make painful staffing reductions that ultimately reduced services to the Main Street chil-
should consider the pay freeze to help save jobs and taxpayer dollars. Other issues should be considered. Why should they take the brunt of the cuts when the administration got raises this year, after which they graciously accepted pay freezes at their new
rates? Why do the teachers need to take pay freezes when the superintendent has renovated a vacant building for “staff development.” Rumor has it that the cost was $500,000. Since no details are forthcoming from the district I have to accept the rumor
driving souped-up cars and motorcycles. He once owned a 1963 split-window Corvette coupe and a Ford AC Cobra, recalled Al Wolf. “Sam took me for a ride in the Cobra on the old Towpath Road to a gig we had at the Brookside…At 120 miles per hour, it didn’t take long to arrive.” Amato’s favorite motorcycle was his Triumph. “Unfortunately he dumped it on Route 81,” Wolf said. “With great luck and his protective gear, he escaped with just some scratches.” In 1968, Amato moved to Florida, but he returned here to play with the Twisters at Damon’s Restaurant in Cicero on Feb. 2, 2003, after he’d been diagnosed with throat cancer. “Sam was a pioneer and a real inspiration to lots of [rock] musicians early on,” said Chuck Wheeler, a former member of The Seven. “I’ll always remember what an influence he had on me and hundreds of other guys in Central New York.” Sam & The Twisters were inducted into the Syracuse Area Music Awards Hall of Fame in 1994.
dren. The fiscal outlook for next year is also discouraging. In fact, it appears that the school would be operating a deficit for 2012-2013 and would not be able to continue its operation. Hopefully, this will not happen. Strong preschool special education programs pay rich dividends over time by providing necessary services at an early age for children. In fact, one study shows that an investment in quality early childhood education from the womb to five years old “averages out an annual inflation–adjusted return of 16 percent.” Rather than reallocate funding away from preschool special education, New York State policy makers should take a stand which is long overdue—vigorously support preschool special education programs throughout the Empire State!

Dr. Melvin informed the board that the preliminary 2011-2012 budget is approximately 4.7 percent higher than the current budget, totaling $141,891,182. He said that due to decreased state aid and increases in salaries, employee benefits, BOCES services and fuel for buses, the preliminary tax increase would top 18 percent. “We’ve got major problems,” he said. “This is the worst budget we’ve ever seen.” While no changes to the budget were presented to the board during the Monday night meeting, Dr. Mel-
vin said staffing cuts would be announced March 14 during a special meeting. The 2011 Annual Budget Vote Schedule is as follows: ✓ April 11: A special meeting will be held where the board of education formally adopts the 2011- 2012 budget. ✓ April 27: Budget document mailed to district residents ✓ May 3: Budget public hearing is held for residents to voice their concerns ✓ May 17: District residents vote on the 2011-2012 North Syracuse Central School District Budget Until April 11, the superintendent, board and district department heads will be working to make cuts where possible to bring down the cost of the preliminary budget. The board also approved the addition of a temporary “House Principal” at Cicero- North Syracuse High School for the period of July
NSCSD Wall of Distinction inductees The North Syracuse Central School District will induct two North Syracuse High School graduates to the Wall of Distinction at 7 p.m. on Friday March 4 at Cicero–North Syracuse High School. Beverly Hill of Cicero, a 1965 graduate, and Mark S. Atkinson of North Syracuse, a 1974 graduate, will be honored for extensive community service or volunteerism and prominence in their personal and /or professional lives. The ceremony is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
Roxboro Road Middle School Advances to County-Level Drug Quiz Competition Students from Roxboro Road Middle School recently won the North Syracuse Central School District/Rite Aid Drug Quiz. The students competed against the top teams from North Syracuse Junior High School and Gillette Road Middle School. The Roxboro Road Middle School team, coached by Christy Nappi, now advances to the county competition, which takes place on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at Driver’s Village, 5885 East Circle Drive in Cicero. If successful in the county competition, students will advance to the New York State Regional competition and possibly the New York State Finals.
1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 to relieve the burden of managing 2,200 students from one principal, two assistants and a dean. The one-year contract leaves the position open to removal during the 2012-2013 anticipated financial crisis. The board also approved the creation of a full-time special education teacher at Allen Road Elementary by making one part-time position into a full-time position. Finally, the board recognized Ken Sherry, English department chair and Andrea Hartwell, special education department chair, on behalf of their staff members for the “outstanding” performance by students on the English 11 Regents exam in January. 694 of 723 students passed the exam, or 96 percent; 542 students received a 75 percent or better; and 93 percent of students with disabilities passed the exam.

Buerkle
From page 1
Tiffany pointed out that more than 50 percent of the U.S. budget funds military activity rather than health or education. She asked Buerkle how long the federal government will continue its occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. “Iraq has a fledgling democracy, and the president has an exit plan there,� Buerkle replied. “But Afghanistan is a different type of discussion. It’s very complicated.� A former nurse and hospital administrator, Buerkle answered several questions about health care. “I think this country needs health care reform to lower costs,� she said. “But government is not the answer. It only increases costs.� Buerkle remindedher detractors that she cares about disadvantaged Americans. “We, as a society, have to be there for people who can’t
Datebook
help themselves,� she said, specifically mentioning those suffering addictions or mental illnesses. “But Obamacare is unsustainable. We can’t afford it. We need to increase access to health care and we need to lower costs. Every American should be able to afford health care. My main concern is that you be able to retain decisionmaking about your own health care and not give it to some bureaucracy.� Several women complained about Buerkle’s vote against funding Planned Parenthood. “Why in the world would you defund Planned Parenthood?� asked Bobbi Cowan of Syracuse. “Thousands of women depend on Planned Parenthood for pap smears, mammograms and counseling.� Buerkle held fast to her antiabortion position. She said Planned Parenthood is “the
largest abortion provider in this country‌[it] will survive without government funding.â€? To pull us out of the recession, Heidi Cross of Skaneateles suggested the U.S. raise taxes for wealthy Americans, but Buerkle disagreed. “Why punish people for their success?â€? the congresswoman asked rhetorically. “This country does not have a taxing problem. It has a spending problem. At the end of the day the government won’t be the one to create jobs and cure the economy. The private sector will create jobs.â€? The nation’s budget deficit “is not a partisan problem,â€? Buerkle said. “It’s an American problem. I think Republicans are just as much to blame as Democrats.â€? Buerkle agreed with residents who questioned billiondollar corporate giveaways.
“Because of the severity of the economic situation, everything’s on the table,â€? she said. “There’ll be further cuts in corporate subsidies.â€? Foreign aid programs may also be reduced, she said in response to Bob Stewart of Liverpool. He called America’s $47 billion foreign-aid program “a slap in the face of U.S. taxpayers.â€? Buerkle admitted to her large audience that “I know I didn’t win by a vast majority. I know I have a lot of work to do to prove myself to you.â€? She pledged to stage more town hall meetings across the 25th District. “The most important thing is that I listen to you because I work for you, my staff works for you‌and whether we agree of disagree, this is an important part of the democratic process.â€?
Buerkle’s cost-cutting votes Last week, the House of Representatives passed a measure to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year and cut $61 billion in the process. Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle’s office announced that her votes to reduce spending were among the strongest in the House and were the highest in New York state, drawing a 95 percent rating from Heritage Action for America, a conservative policy group formed by the The Heritage Foundation in 2010. Among the cutbacks that Buerkle supported were:
✓ $446.9 million cut from Amtrak funding ✓ $233.4 million in funding eliminated for the National Labor Relations Board ✓ $100 million cut from Community Development Block Grants ✓ $82 million cut from various EPA environmental programs ✓ $42.7 million in funding eliminated for the U.S. Institute of Peace ✓ $20.6 million cut from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Exercise rate and sweating do not correlate accurately, especially if you are getting back into exercise after a long period of inactivity. If you are starting aerobic exercise again after time away, then you can sweat even if you aren’t working particularly hard because it takes time for your sweating mechanisms to adapt to workout. To schedule an appointment for physical therapy, please call 315-476-3176. The State of New York requires that each patient must see a physician, nurse practitioner, dentist or podiatrist and receive a prescription for physical therapy. We are located at 207 Pine Street in Syracuse. P.S. In the study mentioned above, researchers found that, in general, men sweat more than women probably due to their higher testosterone levels, which have been linked to sweat rate.

SWEATING IT OUT
Sweating is a by product of rigorous exercise that elicits different reactions. Some view sweating as an unsavory part of exercise while others perceive sweating as body-cleansing and weightloss mechanisms. There are also those who think that sweating is a sign of being out of shape. To set matters straight, researchers recently measured the rate at which both men and women perspired while bicycling under controlled conditions. They found that physically fit individuals start to sweat at lower core body temperatures. And because sweating is a mechanism that the body uses to cool off, sweating enables people to perform longer. Sweat output was found to be significantly higher for fit people during intense exercise than for their less-fit counterparts.

CNS hockey ousted by RFA in sectional semis By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Having made a quick and exciting rise to the top of the local ranks, the CiceroNorth Syracuse ice hockey team wanted to take one more step up and reach the Section III Division I championship game. However, Rome Free Academy denied that opportunity, using a high-powered offense to overwhelm the Northstars 9-3 in Tuesday night’s Division I semifinal at Kennedy Arena. The two sides had met once in the regular season, on Jan. 4, also at Kennedy Arena. CNS lost, 5-2, and since then the Black Knights had only improved, building a 19-game unbeaten streak
and going 17-0-1 in that stretch, the only blemish a 3-3 tie with West Genesee. Now, with the Wildcats looming as a possible opponent in Saturday’s sectional final at Utica Memorial Auditorium, the Northstars looked to cool RFA down, but by the time it got moving, RFA was already in control. During the first period, the host Black Knights moved in front, 2-0, getting a particularly damaging goal when Mike Pekarski beat Zach Hall just 19 seconds before the intermission. CNS did find the net twice in the second period, but RFA countered with three goals, expanding its margin, and pulled away in the final period as its relentless push wore the Northstars

down. In defeat, Eric Hamilton assisted on all three of CNS’s goals, with Brian Hamilton, Nick Hall and Matt Fiume scoring. Zach Hall made 22 saves, but RFA had too much firepower as T.J. Reilley landed three goals and one assist. Five others - Pekarski, Max Bartell, Garrett Reilley, Seth McCormick and Tim Philley - finished with three points apiece. Despite this disappointment, CNS closed its season at 14-8-1, having made enormous progress this winter. Long gone are the days where CNS was pushed around by all Division I opponents, as this season gave the Northstars the belief that it can win a championship, and soon.
Jackowski pushes CNS past Liverpool By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Dave Jackowski spent much of this season toiling in anonymity as the “other� senior forward on the CiceroNorth Syracuse boys basket-
ball team, the guy doing the unglamorous work opposite his more noted frontcourt mate, Zach Coleman. Or at least that was the case before the Northstars met archrival Liverpool in last Friday night’s Section III Class AA quarterfinal.
Jackowski picked quite a time to have the best game of his varsity career, pouring in 25 points as the no. 2 seed Northstars broke out of a halftime tie and built a 17-point Please see Jackowski, page 17
L’pool girls edged by CBA in AA playoffs By Phil Blackwell
plackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Whether it’s a single point, or a single inch between a rim and a net, the difference between victory and defeat can prove excruciatingly thin. Such was the fate of the
Liverpool girls basketball team in Thursday night’s Section III Class AA quarterfinal, where it took a 47-46 defeat to Christian Brothers Academy. It all came down to one possession. Trailing by one with 2.1 seconds to play, Liverpool inbounded the
ball in front of its own bench. CBA made sure that the Warriors’ top offensive threats on the floor, Ally Zywicki and Lytetshia Price, did not get a good look. However, that left senior Please see Girls bball, page 20
With nothing less than a third consecutive Section III Class AA championship in mind, the Cicero-North Syracuse girls basketball team got its post-season off to a powerful start. As the top seed, the Northstars drew no. 9 seed Nottingham in last Friday’s Class AA quarterfinal and had some awkward moments – but also runs of total domination as it eliminated the Bulldogs by a
score of 58-26. Trying to end the suspense quickly, CNS held the Bulldogs without a field goal in the first quarter and roared to a 21-1 lead. The lopsided margin led to some sloppy play the rest of the half, but the Northstars still led 30-11 at halftime and steadily added to that margin in the last two periods. As she has done several other times this winter, junior Breanna Stewart outscored the entire Nottingham roster, managing 30 points by her-
self. The real surprise, though, was seeing Sarah Bowles step up for 16 points, which more than made up for the fact that Kelsey Mattice and Brittany Paul had just four points apiece. In the AA semifinals Tuesday at LeMoyne College, CNS met no. 5 seed CBA, who edged past Liverpool 47-46 to get this far. The Northstars needed one more win to get to Sunday’s sectional final at Utica Memorial Auditorium against F-M or Utica Proctor.
Ciciarelli goes 1-2 at state wrestling meet By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Cicero-North Syracuse wrestler Dan Ciciarelli closed out his senior season in the best way possible by competing in last weekend’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association Division I championship meet at Albany’s Times Union Center. Ciciarelli, the Section III champion at 112 pounds,
was trying to become the first Northstars wrestler to earn a podium finish since Anthony Maiorano’s sixth-place effort in 2007. No one in the program’s history, before or after the merger of the two schools, has ever won a state title. In last Friday’s opening round, Ciciarelli faced Krishna Sewkumar, from Long Beach (Section VIII, Nassau County, Long Island). Quickly, Sewkumar went out
in front, and Ciciarelli did not recover, taking an 11-2 defeat. Relegated to the consolation bracket, Ciciarelli did find success Saturday morning, beating Queensbury’s Tyler Wood in a 5-0 decision. Then, in a close match against C.J. Lobate (Commack), Ciciarelli fell just short, taking a 4-3 defeat to end his season with a record of 35 wins and seven defeats.
Watkins leads to state indoor meet By Phil Blackwell
pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Wherever he seems to go, Liverpool indoor track and field junior Zavon Watkins
seems to set new standards that are difficult to follow. So it was again when Watkins broke a two-yearold Section III record in the 1,000-meter run during last
Saturday’s sectional state qualifying meet at Colgate University’s Sanford Field Please see Watkins, page 20

asked us to take Yogi to a holiday event in Rochester on Dec. 2. It was a tree lighting and a variety of family activities. We spent about two and a half hours meeting and greeting families. Yogi kept the children busy while waiting to have their picture taken with Santa. Yogi and Boo Boo traveled to Carousel Mall for the opening night of the new movie. They were on a red carpet as they greeted movie-goers. Later they were asked to ride the carousel with the children. It was difficult to move through the food court both Friday night and Saturday because so many children and adults wanted their picture with the bears. Saturday, when someone on the carousel spotted Yogi work his way for aother ride, a loud “Yogi Chant” was started that certainly got some attention. They also rode the glass elevator and the escalator. What a great experience for all of us,” said Barb Lighthall. Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is located at 601 County Route 16, Mexico. For more information call 963-7096 or visit jellystonecny.com. Propane is available year-round; call ahead. Store hours starting April 1 are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

night’s opening round, a 6851 victory over no. 10 seed Nottingham. Much of the margin got built in the second quarter. Already ahead 18-14, Liverpool doubled the Bulldogs’ production in the second quarter, 20-10, so it took a 38-24 lead to the break. Try as it could, Nottingham could not cut into the Warriors’ margin, mainly because Hamm or Misener would convert a timely outside shot. All told, Hamm had 28 points, hitting on three 3pointers, while Misener connected five times beyond the arc to account for all of his 15 points. Helping them, Rogers finished with 16 points. Jamar Adams, with 13 points, and Ronnie Roberts, with 11 points, led Nottingham’s effort. CNS now took that 13game win streak into the Class AA semifinals Tuesday at LeMoyne College against no. 3 seed Henninger, the last team to beat them, 5955, back on Jan. 4. The Black Knights routed West Genesee 73-50 in its quarterfinal game, and now got CNS to see who advanced to Saturday’s final at Utica Memorial Auditorium against Utica Proctor or Christian Brothers Academy.

going to the break even at 26-26. Just like the week before, though, the Northstars would start to take over in the third quarter, increasing the tempo more to its liking. Part of it was Jackowski continuing to convert at a rate he had never experienced before - but it was also guys like Vaughndell Brantley and Elliott Boyce Jr. sinking key shots as CNS took a 49-37 lead to the final period. With less than five minutes left, CNS had a 58-41 lead - but Liverpool stormed back. Led by Rogers, who worked his way to 23 points and hit four 3-pointers, the Warriors pulled within six, 61-55, and nearly got closer with a minute left before seeing Andy Russo’s 3-pointer go in and out of the net. Coleman then sank two free throws with 43.2 seconds to play, all but sealing it. The senior had nine points in the fourth quarter to give him 16 for the night, while Boyce finished with nine points. Hamm only had two points in the second half to finish with 13 as Adam Misener poured in 16 points. Liverpool earned its third shot at CNS by getting big performances from all three of its stars during last Wednesday

margin in the second half before hanging on to eliminate the no. 7 seed Warriors 65-58 for its 13th victory in a row. “Everything just worked out,” said Jackowski. “They played Zach tight, and it left me wide open.” Indeed, Liverpool was determined not to let Coleman repeat the 27-point effort he put together when CNS won at Liverpool 68-54 on Feb. 18, just a week prior to their playoff rematch on the Northstars’ home floor. Throughout the first half, one or two Warrior defenders camped themselves next to Coleman, rarely allowing him a chance even to touch the ball. In one sense, it worked, as Coleman managed just two points in the half and picked up two fouls. Perhaps it worked too well, though, for Jackowski kept finding himself alone near the basket - and kept converting. He had 10 points in the first quarter, leading CNS to a 1711 lead as he added four more points in the second period. To counter, Liverpool forward Ian Hamm managed 11 first-half points, and a 10-1 run late in the second quarter, with Connor Rogers getting seven of those points, helped the Warriors inch ahead for the only time, 25-24, before

forward Sydney Chalifoux open near the basket, and Chalifoux got the ball and released a shot just before the buzzer. The shot rolled on the rim – and fell out. Just like that, the Warriors’ season and quick playoff run was done, and what made it more frustrating was that it came in a contest where (1) it had led most of the way and (2) it got a near-perfect offensive balance, with four players scoring in double figures. Liverpool, the no. 4 seed, had beaten CBA, the no. 5 seed, 52-46 on Dec. 17 in the Traci Zimmer Memorial Tournament at Central Square, and the close nature of that first meeting gave notice that the playoff rematch would be a tough one. In fact, both sides would start slowly, not scoring a field goal in the game’s first five minutes. But the pace soon quickened, and the Warriors took full advantage. Shannon Seymour contributed eight points off the bench in the first half, and Liverpool led by as much as nine. At the break, the Warriors led 25-17, but CBA would not go away. Led by Marisa Romeo, who had seven of her 16 points in the third quarter, the Brothers pulled within one, 31-30, by the time the final period got underway. Every time Liverpool tried to restore its margin – like when Price got five straight points early in the fourth quarter – CBA would quickly respond and close the gap again, finally tying it 42-42 on Ellen
Voorheis’ 3-pointer with 4:22 left. Defenses took over through much of the homestretch, and Liverpool suffered a big blow when, with 1:23 left, Nicole Ciricillo, who had 11 points, fouled out. CBA inched ahead 45-44 after a Romeo free throw, but the Warriors regained the lead with 55 seconds left on Seymour’s jumper from the right corner. On the ensuing CBA possession, Liverpool could not pull down a rebound despite three missed shots. Finally, with 13.1 seconds left Voorheis, after another offensive rebound, was fouled, and she sank both free throws to put the Brothers ahead by one. With nine seconds left, Liverpool called its last time-out. It worked the ball around until CBA, with a foul to give, used it with 2.1 seconds left, setting up the last attempt. Seymour finished with 12 points, while Zywicki and Price both got 10 points. The Warriors concluded with an 11-8 mark and will see five seniors, including Zywicki, Chalifoux, Ciricillo and Tassone, depart. Liverpool alum Colleen Maloney earned first-team All-Empire 8 Conference status as a senior at St. John Fisher College after leading the Cardinals in most statistical categories, including points per game (18.0), 3-pointers (54) and blocks (48), while also averaging 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals. She has more than 1,300 career points at Fisher.

House. Pushed hard by West Genesee’s John DeLallo, Watkins covered the 1,000 in two minutes, 26.13 seconds. That topped the mark of 2:26.44 that Alex Hatz (Fayetteville-Manlius) set in this same meet in 2009, as Watkins beat DeLallo by 1.16 seconds. That was just one part of a successful qualifier as several Liverpool and Cicero-North Syracuse athletes earned trips to Cornell University for this Saturday’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship meet. The Warriors’ Joe Spernyak got a win in the 55-meter hurdles, blazing to a time of 7.84 seconds as no one else could break the eight-second mark. In the 4x200 relay, Kameron Arnold, Keewan Rondinello, Steve Fiorello and Ryan Ronk prevailed in 1:34.36, more than a second ahead of Utica Proctor (1:35.46). Kameron Arnold was second in the 300-meter dash in 37.05 seconds as teammate Keewan Rondinello took fourth in 37.61 seconds. Justin McGriff, with a triple jump of 41 feet 9 ½ inches, claimed fourth place,

Joel Brousseau tied for fourth in the high jump, clearing 5 feet 10 inches. Neill Gill was sixth in the 3,200meter run (10:08.12) and Ryan Connor took eighth (6.89 seconds) in the 55-meter dash. Alex Bottorff, Anthony Lupia, Derek Helser and Jared Walther were sixth (8:57.53) in the 4x800 relay. Looking at the girls state qualifier, CNS cleaned up in field events, where Katie Osborne, with a long jump of 17 feet 2 inches, beat Phoenix’s Ashley Palmer by half an inch. Osborne also was third in the 55 hurdles (9.03 seconds), with Jessica Wheeler fourth (9.31 seconds). Mariah Thomson won the weight throw with a toss of 26 feet 5 inches, as her teammate, Janae Price, took fourth place. Liverpool claimed the 4x200on the girls side, too, as Armani Moore,

Hannah Anthes, Shanice Leach and Connie Torres finished in 1:50.81, beating runner-up Jamesville-DeWitt by more than two seconds. CNS saw its 4x800 quartet, composed of Marissa Colburn, Sarah Shannon, Katie Laris and Jackie Halstead, take second place in 10:08.32. In the 600-meter run, the Warriors’ Rachel Putman was second, in 1:39.45, while CNS’s Nicole Campagna took third (1:43.52). Both were behind Heather Martin (Fayetteville-Manlius), who broke a 15-year-old sectional record with her winning time of 1:34.55. The Northstars’ Nicole Watterud was third in the 3,000-meter run in a time of 11:02.41. On her own, Moore was fourth in the triple jump, going 33 feet 5 inches as Megan Earle (31 feet 10 ½ inches) finished sixth, to go with her seventh in the 55 hurdles. Moore also was seventh in the long jump as Shanice Leach gained eighth place. Meagan Turner tied for sixth in the high jump as Shae Shenandoah tied Wheeler for eighth in the pole vault.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Hematology-Oncology Associates provides the highest level of quality care Since 1982, Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY (HOA) has been a private practice dedicated to providing optimal care in a healing environment for the mind, body and spirit of patients dealing with cancer and blood disorders. HOA is comprised of 16 physicians, 22 nurse practitioners/physician assistants and 200-plus clinical personnel in four locations including one in Rome and three in the greater Syracuse area. They are privileged to have patients entrust them with their medical care and allow them to be an integral part of their healthcare journey. HOA treats about 2,500 new cancer patients and 1,300 new patients with blood disorders each year. HOA’s Clinical Research Department and Clinical Trials are one of our community’s jewels. HOA is one of just 50 National Cancer Institute Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) participants in the U.S. There are times when HOA’s patients can benefit from clinical trials using new cancer treatments or technologies that are unavailable anywhere else in Upstate NY. Everyone at HOA is deeply committed to offering their patients the most advanced treatments available. Their clinical staff is highly skilled and certified in their Oncology specialty. HOA’s comprehensive cancer sites offer infusion therapy and radiation therapy via two advanced Varian linear accelerators for IGRT (Image Guided Radiation Therapy). Their East
HOA is deeply committed to offering their patients the most advanced treatments available. Syracuse facility also houses the CyberKnife, the world’s most accurate radiosurgery weapon, which painlessly treats tumors with minimal effects on nearby healthy cells. The CyberKnife tackles tumors throughout the body including the spine, brain, lung and prostate – even those deemed inoperable. Because it’s so effective, patients need far fewer treatments. HOA also offers in-house CT imaging, giving their treatment teams quick, desktop access to each patient’s cumulative imaging, so physicians can closely monitor progress. In addition,
their certified laboratory offers extensive on-site testing for exceptional results and patient convenience. What makes their practice truly special is that everyone at HOA is “united in spirit” – a spirit that is filled with possibilities and hope. They believe that effective medical treatment is not only about healing their patients’ physical illnesses, but also about promoting their emotional, mental and spiritual well being. Their patients are treated like people – not cases. They offer counseling and alternative therapies such as Reiki, massage, healing touch, acupuncture and foot reflexology to complement their state-of-the-art medical treatments and clinical trials. The mission of Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY is to provide the highest level of quality care in a healing environment for the mind, body and spirit of patients dealing with cancer and blood disorders. HOA’s sites include Brittonfield Parkway in East Syracuse – 472-7504; Onondaga Hill in Syracuse – 472-7504; North Medical Center in Liverpool – 472-7504, and East Chestnut Street in Rome – 339-5783. Their beautiful, healing space called “The Wellness Center” is located at 5700 West Genesee Street in Camillus and provides a haven of opportunity for the mind, body and spirit and it is open to the public.

Popular alternative to nursing home care thrives in CNY
Who would have dreamt that one of Central New York’s most popular alternatives to traditional nursing home care today originated nearly 30 years ago on the west coast of the United States? PACE CNY, Loretto’s popular Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly in cooperation with St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, is based on the national PACE model created in 1973 to help the AsianAmerican community in San Francisco care for its elders in their own homes. It provided an innovative way to offer and coordinate a comprehensive array of medical services, physical and occupational therapies, nutrition, transportation,
respite care, socialization and other needed services using home care and an adult day setting. In 1994, Loretto determined that it would pursue development of a PACE program in Onondaga County. PACE CNY officially opened its doors on December 1, 1997, and has since expanded to include two full PACE Day Centers serving a current census of more than 400 enrollees. According to the National PACE Association, the typical PACE participant is over the age of 80, lives alone or with relatives, and requires help with personal care and with activities of daily living to maintain safety and security. The Interdisciplinary Team
Approach One of the unique aspects of PACE CNY is its interdisciplinary team approach to providing or coordinating care of those people who are nursing home eligible and are age 55 or older. Every weekday morning the team gathers for “Morning Meeting,” where they discuss any findings or concerns about each individual participant’s health and well being. Every participant has a team that manages their needs. The PACE CNY interdisciplinary team includes medical care from primary care physicians and nurse practitioners, and home care services from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certi-
fied home health aids. In addition, PACE CNY offers physical, occupational and massage therapies, as well as therapeutic recreation, day care, nutrition, medication management, transportation and case management staff services. Recent developments at PACE CNY In 2008, Loretto’s Forest View at Fayette opened to provide quality, low-cost housing for 14 older adults in Syracuse. PACE CNY provides supportive services for these residents to help them remain independent and living in the community for as long as possible.

Excellus BCBS awards hospitals $19 million for quality improvements Fifty-two upstate New York hospitals last year earned more than $19 million in quality improvement incentive payments from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield as part of the health insurer’s Hospital Performance Incentive Program. In the past two years, quality performance incentives from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield have exceeded $40 million. “By tying our payments to these hospitals to improvements in health outcomes and patient safety, we’re helping assure that our members and all others get the best quality care and the most value for their health care dollars,” said Carrie Frank, vice president of quality and health informatics at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. Eight hospitals in Central New York participated in this program in 2010, including Community General Hospital, Cortland Regional Medical Center, Crouse Hospital, Massena Memorial Hospital, Oswego Hospital, Samaritan Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center and SUNY Upstate University Hospital. “Working with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield complements our robust quality improvement program at Upstate University Hospital,” said James Legault, director of clinical practice analysis and infection control at SUNY
Upstate University Hospital. “The ability to combine our goals with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield works well for both organizations.” Launched in 2004, the HPIP program evaluates participating hospitals on more than 300 performance measures. Target outcomes are jointly agreed upon by each hospital and the health insurer using benchmarks established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Leapfrog Group, the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and others. Four areas are targeted for improvement: Clinical Outcomes – Focused on improvements in heart attack care, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. Patient Safety – Focused on reductions in hospital-acquired infections, improved medication reconciliation processes and National Quality Forum Safe Practices. Patient Perception of Care and Patient Satisfaction – Focused on a hospital’s use of a national survey tool. Efficiency – Focused on generics utilization, length of stay and readmissions. “Having a financial incentive to improve quality has resulted in participating hospitals consistently scoring higher
on CMS Quality Measures than hospitals whose payments are not at-risk,” said Frank. CMS is the federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Relevance in upstate New York In 2007, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield issued a fact sheet on hospital-acquired infections which showed an estimated 19,500 upstate New Yorkers acquired an infection during a hospital stay in 2004 and nearly a thousand deaths were likely to have occurred as a result. The fact sheet, titled HospitalAcquired Infections in Upstate New York, is archived under the heading “Hospitals” in the News & Information section of excellusbcbs.com. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, a nonprofit independent licensee of the BlueCross BlueShield Association, is part of a family of companies that finances and delivers vital health care services to 1.7 million people across upstate New York. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield provides access to high-quality, affordable health coverage, including valuable health-related resources that our members use every day, such as cost-saving prescription drug discounts and wellness tracking tools in our Step Up program.

Seneca Federal: Navigating economic changes, same solid community foundation Katrina Russo, President â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is very passionate about her community bank and its solid decision making. 2010 marked Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 83th year of providing financial services to communities within Central New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This milestone is rare in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial industry and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of it. Given the competitive environment and state of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, within which Seneca Federal operates, the association is fortunate to have a dedicated staff of employees who continue to provide exceptional, personal customer service to our members. This dedication has proven to sustain us through many years,â&#x20AC;? Russo said. Russo continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The national economy has been marked by high unemployment rates, a rising number of foreclosures, declining home prices and contractions in business and consumer credit. The unemployment rate locally was slightly below the national average, which was 9.4 percent in December 2010.â&#x20AC;? She explained that in 2010, the association continued to have strong asset quality based on the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative underwriting standards and diligent monitoring of delinquent and nonperforming loans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have remained committed to our charter of fostering homeownership during 2010 by originating over $12.4 million in residential mortgage loans,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our net interest income is above last yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; level and we have maintained liquidity while preparing our balance sheet for the risk of inflation, and
expanding our residential mortgage loan business as well as to invest in what management believes will be a future higher rate environment.â&#x20AC;? The associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating expenses are below last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level as a result of various factors including the completion of the final phase of the succession plan, developed by the board over four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The succession plan was a slow, seamless process that was completed in mid 2010. We were able to navigate our own internal changes while also navigating all the various changes in the economy and banking regulations,â&#x20AC;? Russo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many small banks face a merger at the time executive and senior officers retire,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The continued viability of Seneca Federal is not only a tribute to the board, but also to the retiring officers and employees who provided others with the knowledge and skill sets necessary for the association to carry on for many more decades under the thrift charter and to this end we are very thankful to be given this opportunity entrusted to us.â&#x20AC;? Looking ahead to 2011, management remains committed to maintaining a steady course in carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to them by the board, as the merger between the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of The Comptroller of the Currency occurs in July of this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The extensive regulatory changes brought about by the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the passing of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
At left, Seneca Federal Savings President-CEO Katrina M. Russo and Wendy K. Bodnar, EVP-CFO. Consumer Protection Act in 2010 marks yet another transformation in banking activities, which can stretch the resources of small community banks,â&#x20AC;? points out Russo. Reform will be far reaching into such areas as Federal consumer protection law compliance, state law compliance, and Homeland Security Regulations. The regulatory burden is always disproportionately heavy for reputable lenders such as Seneca Federal as attempts are made by the federal government to police the dishonest few.

Within three weeks of rehabilitation, I returned home. Words cannot describe how wonderful it felt to actually walk into my home. I can’t say enough about my experience. The nurses went above and beyond their normal duties to address my individual needs. I highly recommend Syracuse Home for
short-term rehabilitation,” says Rurka. Occupational therapies address muscle strength, range of motion, plus cognitive and visual skills that enhance every day activities. When appropriate, speech therapies address treatment and management of communication impairments as well as

CANCER BEWARE “I had cancer. Cancer never had me.” Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, distraught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. Then I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.
