Speed limit lengthened

Annex students raise

County Parks urged state DOT to slow down Parkway

By russ tarby

A few days before Christmas new 30 mph signs went up along Onondaga Lake Parkway (Route 370),

lengthening the speed zone by 900 feet.

While the 30 mph zone started in the village and previously ended near the en-trance to Onondaga Lake Park, the zone now extends further southeast past the en-trance to Sainte Marie Among the Iroquois, regulating the speed of traffic moving in both directions.

Though most of

the parkway is located outside village limits, in January Liverpool

funds for Bottle SchoolsBy Caitlin [email protected]

Students in Maureen Tricase’s social studies classes at the Liverpool High School Annex are do-ing more than just learning about history and cultures this school year; they’re helping to shape it.

Tricase and her 125 ninth grade students are currently working to raise money for the Hug It Forward Proj-ect, which makes “Bottle Schools” out of recycled materials in poor commu-nities in Guatemala.

In her four years of teach-ing at the Annex, this is the first time her students are actively participating in a global project. The students got involved with helping children in Guatemala in September, after donat-ing tubes of toothpaste

for Tricase’s nephew, Evan Dembkowski, a Peace Corp Volunteer in Guatemala, to distribute to the children in the community.

After keeping in contact with Dembkowki via Skyke and blogging, and reading “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson—which the author himself donated 700 copies of to the An-nex—the students decided they, too wanted to help build schools for the less fortunate.

“It brings to mind how important education is throughout the world, how lucky they are to have such a great opportunity, and that they should not take it for granted,” Tricase said. So their involvement with Hug It Forward began.

To raise money, the stu-dents decided to sell donuts, pizza and candy during the

New York State Regional National History Day Com-petition held at the school March 26. In one day, the students raised $268.

Ninth grader Jackie Chilbert also designed t-shirts with the help of her parents that read “Liver-pool Students Making a Difference” to be sold to

help the cause. T-shirts can be purchased for $10 each, with $4 per shirt going to-ward the project.

Money raised by the Annex students will go towards the $9,000 needed to build a two-classroom

Liverpool school board approves buget

By Caitlin [email protected]

The Liverpool Central School District Board of Education passed a $132,966,686 during the regular board meeting April 11 at the Dis-trict Offices.

The budget includes a 2.33 per-cent tax increase, 16 position cuts and the creation of the FOCUS Academy. The board approved the budget 7 to 1, with board member F. Joseph Unangst voting against it.

The budget was approved de-spite petitions signed by numerous

Liverpool residents in opposition of different aspects of the budget. On Monday, a petition with 500 signa-tures was presented to the board, ask-ing the board members to reconsider cutting an entire team of teachers from Liverpool Middle School. On March 28, Sharon Yager presented the board with a petition containing 434 signatures in opposition of the FOCUS Academy. The board did not reconsider either option.

The public hearing will be 6:30 p.m. May 5 at the District Offices, 195 Blackberry Road. The public will vote on the budget May 17.

Dr. Johns considers the sourceApparently Nick Johns

isn’t one to hold a grudge.On March 30, the su-

perintendent of the Liver-pool Central School Dis-trict addressed the monthly luncheon meeting of the Greater Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. His topic was teamwork.

“You’ve got to look at a school as a system,” he said, reflecting on his years at the helm of school districts from Iowa to Michigan to down-state New York. “You’ve got to coordinate your efforts. I mean K through 12th grade is a kid’s career. For him or her to succeed in their scho-lastic career we’ve all got to work together. We’ve got to be a team.”

So after the meeting, I asked Dr. Johns how the LCSD can continue to work as a team after the Liverpool Administrators Association issued a rather mean-spirited letter of no-confidence in the superintendent.

On Feb. 11, the LAA—which represents about three

dozen principals and admin-istrative staffers here—criti-cized Johns for creating “a working climate of fear, trepidation and vindictive-ness.”

Johns simply shrugged off the harsh words. He consid-ered their source.

“That union has a tough contract coming up,” Johns said. One issue that will be contentious, he predicted, will be a no-layoff clause.

“The bottom line is that we could not afford to staff the administrative ranks the way we have in the past,” Johns said.

The LAA’s swipe at the superintendent sure seemed pretty personal, but Johns refused to take it that way. Instead, he expressed admi-ration for the principals as individuals. They’re all sin-cerely dedicated to the cause of education here, he said.

“They recently developed plans for student achieve-ment at each school,” Johns said, “and all of the principals had goals that really stretched

their horizons, ideas about how tomorrow can be better than today.”

One thing that Johns desperately wants to see improved is the high-school graduation rate.

“There are things we do marvelously, but there are things we need to fix,” he told the chamber members. “Right now, 81 percent of our high-school students gradu-ate, 19 percent don’t gradu-ate. That’s too high a number. We’ve got to fix that.”

Johns believes that his proposed FOCUS Acade-my—which has inexplicably drawn the ire of more than 400 petitioners objecting to its establishment—could be an important step toward reducing the dropout rate. The academy is designed to

cater to students who, Johns said, “are falling between the cracks” in the 2,400-student LHS.

“Twenty-eight percent of our kids feel ill-at-ease in this huge high school,” he said. “If we don’t take these kids out of that building, they’ll be lost in the crowd.”

Rather than losing them, the superintendent said, he’d like to see them head off to college after finding their “focus.” Right now, about half of LHS alums take a stab at higher education. “We could do better,” Johns said.

Meanwhile, the superin-tendent continues to build a budget as state aid comes trickling in and—with mon-ey tight everywhere—he anticipates tough bargaining sessions with the LAA, the principals’ union which la-beled him “vindictive.”

“Hopefully we can all sit down and talk about the provisions of that contract,” Johns said.

And he didn’t sound even a little bit vindictive.

A step toward national standards and assessmentsNo more Regents exams

in English and math?Maybe—maybe not!

However, as things stand now, during the 2014-2015 school year New York students will probably take a number of examinations in English and math based on the new national common core standards that the State Board of Regents approved earlier this year.

Ever since No Child Left Behind became law in 2002 and the federal govern-ment, along with the states, started punishing individual schools and school districts, I have argued for national standards and national as-sessments. Does it make any sense to have the fifty states use their own tests to evalu-

ate their students and the federal government imposes sanctions across the board when the tests in one state might be a lot harder than in another state?

If the federal government is going to call the shots on school performance and the resulting penalties, then let’s have a level playing field, once and for all.

How will this ever hap-pen? New York belongs to a 26-state consortium called the Partnership for the As-sessment of Readiness for College and Careers. Eleven of the 26 states, including New York, are involved in the development of a national pre-kindergarten through grade 12 assess-ment system “aligned to the

common core standards in English language arts and mathematics.” This is no inexpensive venture and the Federal government has given the states $170 million to develop the tests. Already, more than 200 U.S. higher education institutions have agreed to help develop the tests. The payoff for those colleges and universities is to be able to use the results of the new assessments for placing students in appropri-ate level courses.

Although not formally approved by the Regents, we’re moving towards a system where students take the assessment tests several times a year, rather than waiting for one crucial exam in June. Ideally, teachers and principals will have the data to see how students are progressing and provide the extra help they might need. All this is a move in the right direction, but as Massachusetts Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester, said so aptly, “the harder and more important task is to ensure that higher standards are taught in every classroom and that teachers and students have the tools they need to succeed.”

An invitation to your town board meetingsJudy BoykeFrom theSupervisor

Cicero Town Board meetings are a major part of our local government. Along with that come actual roles of the supervisor, town councilors, and all other department head personnel who were elected by the residents to represent them. Remembering a history lesson and a painting by Norman Rockwell, titled “Freedom of Speech” and sometimes called “Town Hall Meeting,” I have come to realize the importance of this history lesson at every town board meeting. The freedom we have to express ourselves openly is publicly displayed there.

Our town board meetings seem

to attract the media whenever there are major issues on the agenda, particularly with high visibility, compared to just a rou-tine meeting. That is unfortunate because

each meeting is of the same impor-tance. Focusing on mundane tasks of a routine nature really are the key issues moving deliberately towards decisions being made and actions being taken. These meetings are like a mystery novel, you really need to attend every meeting to hear the dialogue and follow along, so that you fully grasp and understand what makes your town “tick.” Although the media can report and summarize there is nothing like being there to

hear everything first hand and to be able to interact as well.

While attendance varies based

Dental care relief for county residents

Going to the dentist is something very few people look forward to. Whether we like it or not, for many of us it is not an option because the costs are too high for a simple cleaning, and the costs become exorbitant for needed procedures and care.

Fortunately there is a program that can help with the high costs of dental care; the Dental Network Card Program. The Onondaga County Legislature is proud to include this program as part of the network of programs available to all uninsured or under-in-sured Onondaga County residents. County resi-dents simply purchase a card and receive reduced rates on dental services at participating dental offices. A cardholder can expect to pay rates that are over 30 percent less than the average for den-tal exams, cleanings, fill-ings, crowns, root canals, and other dental services. Many individuals avoid going to the dentist because they do not have insurance or the means to pay for the services. A trip to the dentist can be just as important as a trip to the doctor. Oral ail-ments can indicate other

serious health problems and good oral hygiene is important to your overall wellbeing.

The Dental Network Card Program is not insurance, it is a low cost discount card that provides access to the DenteMax network of dentists. Over 100,000 dentists participate in the DenteMax network na-tion-wide. Locally, over 60 dentists in the greater North Syracuse area par-ticipate in the DenteMax network. The cost of the card is only $36.50 per year for an individual or $52.00 per year for a family.

For more informa-tion on the participating dentist and the rates for services, visit heginc.com/dentemax-NYSAC.html.

OpinionCensus numbers reflect growth in Cicero

If we had a time machine and could go back only 10 years, many of us wouldn’t recognize Cicero. Most of our streets, including Route 11, were narrow two-lane roads. Instead of the neigh-borhoods we now call home there were idled fields and swamps.

And there wouldn’t be much where Cicero’s retail district now stands.

A decade ago our town didn’t have the shopping centers, the wide selection of stores and scores of restau-rants it now has. Also, the numerous technology com-panies and other businesses

based in our town today, such as Syracuse Research Corporation and JADAK, Corp., did not exist a mere decade ago.

Ten years ago, Cicero did not have a vibrant housing stock. Developments such as Lyons Landing, The Pastures, Miralago and dozens more simply did not exist. Today, Cicero boasts nearly 13,000 homes, an increase of nearly 2,000 in the last 10 years.

Most importantly, in a decade where the majority of Central New York com-munities were struggling to hold onto their populations, Cicero experienced a 13 per-

cent increase in residential growth—one of the largest growth rates in the state. To-day, according to the recently completed 2010 federal census, 31,632 people now call Cicero home. The first decade of the 21st century truly has been one of unprec-edented growth Cicero.

There are many reasons for Cicero’s prosperity.

The town is fortunate to have land available for development. It is lucky to be located near major highways making commuting easy. And, with Oneida Lake, it is blessed to be one of the most scenic towns in Central New

York. But there’s more to it than location and luck.

Over the last 10 years, the town board, on which I have pleasure of serving, has been very pro-active. We scrupulously monitored development to ensure it is reasonable and well planned. We encouraged economic growth that is stable, will be a lasting source of much

needed sales tax revenue and will strengthen the town’s economy.

This growth also greatly increased the value of Cicero’s commercial base which eased the tax burden of Cicero’s homeowners. And for several years the town board avoided tax increases, and established a record of fiscal responsibility that attracted both homeowners and entrepreneurs.

I don’t have to tell anyone that the last few years have been difficult. The national recession has taken a toll on everyone: seniors, hom-eowners industry, businesses

and government services. That is why it is so important that town board avoid large tax increases and continue along a path of fiscal respon-sibility.

If the town board dem-onstrates that it can operate efficiently during the worst economic catastrophes since the Great Depression, with-out increasing the burden of its taxpayers, it will put us in a fantastic position for the future.

This recession will not last forever and Cicero is poised to, and must continue to be in a position to, recapture the growth of the last decade.

Budget, hanging flower baskets discussed in North SyracuseMy last report wished you

all a happy and healthy New Year, but I forgot to hope for a mild winter! I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the Department of Public Works for keeping our roads clear and safe during the past horrendous winter. They worked day and night and were very much appreciated by the travelers in the area. Job well done!

Budget time has been upon us for many weeks, and the North Syracuse Board of Trust-ees have been diligently working with the department heads to give the homeowners the servic-es that make us a village. They have worked to provide these services at a cost that taxpayers can afford. Initially, I placed a moratorium on all spending in March and asked the depart-ments to cut their budget requests by 10 percent. As you know, Onondaga County took away $225,557 in 2010-2011 and $356,000 in 2011-2012 in sales tax monies. We have had this revenue available in the past for aiding us in mandates such as group health insurance, retirement, etc. In preparation for the future, we eliminated $200,000 in expenses.

On April 14, there will be a

public hearing where resi-dents will be given the ten-tative budget. Most every department took some “hits” and they are cooperat-ing with the administration to make this next year’s revenues and expenses as palatable as possible. The board and the fire department are examining the rental of the fire department’s meeting hall for public use and contributing to the revenue of the community. Our com-munity center is rented on a daily basis day and night and is very beneficial to our financial picture. We have renovated the second floor conference room in the rear area with a small kitchenette to further accom-modate much needed rental facilities. Most of the renovation materials were donated, making this a “win-win” situation for the village and the residents that so often utilize the building.

We are sharing services with the town of Cicero for codes en-forcement, the towns of Cicero and Clay for fire protection out-side the village extenuating into their districts, a contract with the State of New York to plow

Chestnut Street to Allen Road, and are continuing to examine ways to share services and expenses. There are also grants that are being presently

investigated. One of the “extras” we

eliminated from the budget is the hanging flower plants that have enhanced the village and received many local and visitor comments. However, our com-munity leaders, businesses and staff have made donations to a fund to restore at least some of the flowers. The water is gra-ciously donated by volunteers, since rain does not go into these containers and it is a necessary job to preserve these flowers.

Anyone wishing to con-tribute may send a check to the village hall made out to the Village of North Syracuse with “flowers” written in the memo part. Each basket donor will be recognized at the Family Festi-val scheduled for Saturday May 28 at Lonergan Park.

As you can see, the board is continually striving to make the village of North Syracuse a viable community. Have a Happy Easter!

Special thanks from Unit 188To the editor,

Liverpool Unit 188 American Le-gion Auxiliary would like to thank all those who helped to make our recent campaign of the Homeless Veterans’ Shower a success. We collected over $1,300 in items which will be distrib-uted to area veterans shelters and the new Geddes Street center.

The Star-Review was instrumental in getting the word out each week and we are so thankful. We also would also like to recognize those businesses which allowed us to place a collection box for the month: Lakeview Barber-shop, Seneca Federal Bank/Liverpool , Emeritus at West Side manor and Liverpool American Legion, making it easier for the public to donate.

Finally, we would like to send a resounding thank you to you the public who went out of your way to aid those in need. We would not have had success without your support. Again, thank you to all who made this a positive campaign.

DIANE CURRY, SECRETARYAMERICAN LEGION UNIT 188

Time to restore historyTo the editor,

Several years ago a group of volunteers meticulously assembled a collection of historic photographs

and artifacts from Cicero’s past. Many of these items were loaned and do-nated by the town’s older families with

the understanding that they would be displayed in the Town Hall meet-ing room in celebration of Cicero’s Bicentennial.

The collection was impressive and inspired many positive comments. The decision was made to keep the exhibit as a permanent reminder of our town’s long, proud and unique heritage.

Last year, shortly after taking of-fice, Supervisor Judy Boyke saw fit to remove these historic photographs and artifacts and replace them with blueprints and drawings of Loretto’s planned adult assisted living facility at the Cicero Commons.

Sadly, the Loretto project could not get the funding it needed and recently was abandoned.

A few weeks ago, I had business to conduct in the Town Hall and noticed the Loretto drawings were still hang-ing on the meeting room wall.

It’s no secret that I have had many disagreements with the current super-visor. But surely we both have pride in our town’s history and appreciate its importance.

And what a better thing to have on the meeting room walls? The history display reminds us all that while agree-ments and disagreements occurring in the meeting room may divide us, it’s our history and heritage that perma-nently unites us.

It’s time to restore the history display.

elementary school in San Francisco El Rio in Coban, Guatemala.

After their success with food sales, the students are now looking for other ways to raise funds for the project.

After Spring Break, Tri-case plans on showing a video clip on the Bottle Schools during academ-ic advisement periods in hopes of expanding interest in helping out beyond her social studies students.

Bottle Schools are made from plastic bottles and non-biodegradable trash. They are more than just schools; they are tools to teach the communities about being “green” and the importance of recycling and sustainability after the Peace Corps move on and the projects are completed.

“I hope the students learn good ethics and citi-zenship from the project. I want them to learn that there is a world-wide com-munity out there and we can make a difference one person at a time,” she said.

Cicero’s Stone Arabia School House open for season

submitted by Joan Kesel

Cicero Historical Society president

The spring and summer season has begun at the Ci-cero Historical Society. The Stone Arabia School House, Museum Learning Center and Log House are open each second Sunday from April to September from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We will not be open on May 8, Mother’s Day, but will welcome visitors on May 15 for an open house and perennial plant sale. This new schedule allows us to extend our season, however unlike previous years we will be closed on Saturdays. Visits to the school house can also be made by appointment. Families and history buffs are invited to visit us and learn about the history of education, former businesses and local farming families in Cicero.

Here are excerpts from a history of the Stone Arabia School written in 1984 by former town historian Lona

Flynn. “Descendants of a group

of Stone Arabia settlers from Troy, NY, arrived in the town of Cicero in the early 1800s and formed another Stone Arabia community. A stone school house was first built and was located on the south-west corner of Whiting Road and Route 31, and Stone Ara-bia School District 6 was es-tablished. As was the custom, church services were held in the school until a church building could be erected. In 1845 this group organized the Cicero Center Methodist Church. It was decided in 1854 to build a new school. The present Stone Arabia School was constructed and is located halfway between South Bay and Whiting roads on Route 31.”

“Our school house is an authentic one room school containing double desks, slate boards, and text books. Typical of that era, it had few windows, a pot bellied stove, a well for drinking water and outside toilet facilities. Light

was first provided by candles and then by kerosene lamps. All eight grades were taught with only ten minutes allowed per class. Students learned by listening to the lessons of other grades. The average wage for male teachers in the 1850s was $100 a year and fe-male teachers, although there were few, received less.

“As farm families moved into the area and enrollment grew, older students were sent to the former Cicero Ameri-can Legion on Route 11 in the village. Younger students received their education in our school house until 1951. It was in April of that year that the remaining grades one to four moved into the newly constructed Cicero Elemen-tary School.

The Cicero Historical So-ciety meets at 7 p.m. the third Wednesday of each month. We always welcome new members. For more informa-tion please visit the web site at ciceronyhistorical.org or by calling 699-2174.

Dixieland dandiesIrish Channel Jazz Band brings Big Easy sound to library Sunday

By russ tarby

Named after a New Or-leans neighborhood settled by emigrants of the Emerald Isle, the Irish Channel Jazz Band revels in the music of the Big Easy.

The Syracuse-based quartet performs a free concert at 2 p.m. Sun-day April 17, at Liverpool Public Library, 310 Tulip St. Admission is free; 457-0310; lpl.org.

Led by cornetist Pat Carroll, the Dixieland band includes Dick Sheridan on banjo, Dick Chave on trom-

bone and Woody Peters on tuba. All four musicians hail from Central New York.

A self-taught musician, Carroll achieves exquisite cornet tone on 1920s tunes such as “Tin Roof Blues” and “Running Wild.”

Raised in Watertown, he first picked up the horn—specif ical ly, his older brother’s trumpet—during World War II.

“When my brother Ed went into the Navy he left his horn behind and I picked it up,” Carroll recalls. “I began with bugle calls and eventually went forward from there.”

Nowadays, Carroll plays cornet exclusively, never a trumpet. He likes the mellow tone of his old standby, a silver-plated Getzen Eterna.

The bandleader comple-ments his cornet-play-ing with an easy-going vocal style on songs like “St. James Infirmary” and “Tight Like That.”

The quartet excels on tunes associated with New Orleans jazz funerals such as “A Closer Walk with Thee,” “I’ll Fly Away” and “The Second Line.”

Prior to forming the ICJB, Carroll led the Or-ange Pack Jazz Band which played pre-game pep rallies at Syracuse University, and he also helmed the Hanover Squares. He is a longtime member of the Board of Di-rectors of the Jazz Apprecia-tion Society of Syracuse.

Sunday’s performance is the last of four concerts in the library’s Fourth Annual Folk Music Series running January through April.

The village of Liverpool’s Republican Committee will conduct a party caucus at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 28, at the Village Hall, 310 Sycamore St.

Candidates will be nominated to stand for election on June 21. The offices of mayor and two trustees are up for election.

First-term Mayor Gary White is ex-pected to run for re-election as are trustees Dennis Hebert and Bob Gaetano.

The caucus is open to all registered Republican residing within the village of Liverpool.

Broken promises in CiceroTo the editor,When Supervisor Boyke

and her so-called “team of integrity” campaigned in 2009, they pledged to deliver a more open town govern-ment.

And why not? Open gov-ernment is a very safe and popular issue to run upon. After all, who’s not for open government? No one ever won an election promising to stifle public input, vow-ing to ignore constituents’ questions and pledging to conduct backroom political deals at taxpayers’ expense.

But that is exactly what Supervisor Boyke has done.

Several weeks ago, the Cicero Town Board voted to conduct an audit of the Brewerton Revitalization Project. This audit was prompted by a disagreement between Supervisor Boyke and Councilor Jim Corl. Su-pervisor Boyke maintained that the project has cost Cicero taxpayers close to $1 million. Councilor Corl said the cost has been at least

half that amount with much funded through state and federal grants. Councilor Corl also saw no need to spend taxpayer’s money on a professional audit because the information should be available in the town comptroller’s office.

At the town board’s March 23 meeting, Super-visor Boyke reported that she had interviewed three auditors and wanted the town board to hire Cicero accountant Michael Benn at $125 an hour. Mr. Benn’s hiring was approved 3-to-2 with the “team of integrity” unanimously supporting the resolution.

Apparently the interviews of Me. Benn and the other accountants were conducted solely by Supervisor Boyke. No councilors were invited to sit in on the interviews. Why?

Mr. Benn may be a fine accountant, but his hir-ing smacks of politics. He is a former Democratic councilor, and during his tenure was a very vocal critic of the previous Republican

administration—the obvious target of the audit.

Mr. Benn is also a former chairman of the Cicero Democratic Committee, the same committee that endorsed and put Supervi-sor Boyke and the “Team of Integrity” on the ballot two years ago.

Even if Mr. Benn pro-duces a flawless audit, it automatically will be tainted by town politics and its conclusion questioned. It will reek of a backroom deal and settle nothing. Oppo-nents of the current town administration will rightly question it.

If an audit is to be done, it should at the very least be done by someone not connected with town politics or with anyone on the town board.

Yes, open government is a wonderful campaign promise, one that unfor-tunately for this adminis-tration, has turned into a broken promise.

St. Joe’s From page 1

Police were alerted to the change via a letter from the state Department of Transportation, according to LPD Chief Bill Becker.

“No reason was given,” Becker said.

Onondaga County’s ex-ecutive communications director, Marty Skahen, said the DOT decision to lower the speed limit was made af-ter state and county officials met last fall to discuss On-ondaga Lake Parkway safety. Four people had been killed on Sept. 11, 2010 when a Megabus crashed into the

low-hanging railroad bridge on the Parkway.

County Transportation Commissioner Brian Don-nelly and Parks Commis-sioner Bill Lansley attended the DOT meeting and Lans-ley suggested lowering the speed limit in front of St Ma-rie and the Butterfly Garden of Hope, Skahen said.

“Bill suggested to do it to make it safer for those people using those facili-ties, and a few days later the county received a letter from the state DOT saying they’d look into it,” Skahen said.

State DOT spokesman Gene Cilento confirmed that the speed limit was low-ered after the county parks commissioner requested it.

“They wanted improved access to St. Marie,” Cilento said.

More than 35,000 vehicles travel the Parkway daily.

Parks Commissioner Lansley has observed that since the change, traffic flow is slower now along the Park-way.

“Bill [Lansley] has noticed an improvement,” Skahen said.

armers and garden-ers often disagree about a lot of

things, when to plant being the most basic. So called “gam-bling growers” will try to beat others to mar-ket by planting their crops as early as possible, taking the risk that the crops will be killed by a late frost or other natural disaster.

Seed packets often say “plant as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring.” But what does that really mean? Like the phrase, “your mileage may vary” - taken from the disclaimer of EPA mile-age ratings by car mak-ers - which has become itself a qualifier so that it translates roughly as “who knows what will really happen in your situation.”

One of the problems of the early spring garden

isn’t just the weather, it’s the soil. Usually gardens are just too wet to work

in early spring. One test is the mud ball test: digdown about four to six inches and take a hand-

ful of soil. Squeeze the soil into a ball and try to crumble it between your fingers. If it won’t break apart, it is too wet. Once the soil ball crumbles easily, you are ready for planting.

Think cool weather crops and you get the idea. The list of frost hardy vegetables includes car-rots, radishes, peas, snow peas, snap peas, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, rutaba-gas, Swiss chard, lettuce, cilantro, kale and beets.

Simply till your garden and plant any of the above vegetables. Even a brief

Deadly pest found in Western New YorkProtect your trees from theEmerald Ash Borer

For local ash trees, the arrival of a devastating pest in Western and parts of Central New York is very bad news. The Emerald Ash Borer has been an unwel-come guest in the United States for several years, but until recently it had not been found in our area. Unfortunately, all that’s changed and the beautiful ash trees that shade our neighbor-hoods and line our streets are now in danger.

Recently, various media have shared the ramifications of Emerald Ash Borers on local ash trees. In their larval stage, these beetles bore into trees causing thinning of the tree canopy and branch dieback. While it is true that in most cases infested trees die after three to four years, residents should not give up hope for their trees.

Significant research has and is currently being conducted to yield treatment op-tions. In Michigan, where it’s suspected that the borer has been present for over five years, a study by Michigan State University has proven that there are valid treatments. Tests indicate that although severely infested trees typically cannot be saved, attacks on healthy trees can be prevented.

Locally, leading tree care provider Bartlett Tree Experts is working to preserve trees and help educate property owners on this pest. “It is extremely important that residents understand what this pest can do, how it spreads, and what can be done to prevent loss of

It’s fix-up time

If your home was

built before 1978 it may

contain lead paint.

By Waded Gonzalez-Candelaria, public health educator

Are you thinking about fixing up the old homestead? Are you planning on doing the project on your own or hiring someone to do it for you? Was your home built before 1978? If it was, it may contain lead paint. When lead paint is disturbed during remodeling, dangerous lead dust is created. Young children and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from exposure to lead dust, but anyone can become lead poisoned.

The Onondaga County Health De-partment Lead Poisoning Control Program would like you to consider the following questions before you start your project:

Was the house built before 1978?

Will you be disturbing the paint?

Have you had the paint tested to see if it is lead paint?

What safety precautions will you or your contractor/handyman take to protect yourself and your children from exposure to hazardous lead dust? The most important thing to consider when remodeling is con-trolling the lead dust. You can do this by following these tips:Work smart

To keep paint chips and dust con-tained, work in one area at a time; en-close the work area using heavy plastic (6 mil); Keep pregnant women and children out of the work area; Protect yourself by washing your hands and eating or drinking

outside the work area; Wear a protective mask to

prevent inhaling lead dust.Work wet

Avoid creating lead dust by using a spray bottle to wet an area to be sanded

or scrapedWork clean

Clean up daily. Don’t allow anyone into the work area until the daily cleanup is com-

‘As soon as the soil can be worked…’cold snap shouldn’t harm them, though most will be done in by a heavy snow or prolonged freezing.

For flowers, try: pan-sies, snapdragons, and dianthus, also called pinks. You can also plant lily bulbs and bare root roses.

To further speed up warming your soil try using raised beds. Since they sit above ground level raised beds tend to drain better and warm up faster than the open ground.

You can also cover garden beds with sheets of black plastic for several weeks before you plant. You can even use black plastic trash bags. Just

remove the plastic before planting. Or, plant seeds or set out seedlings through holes cut into it.

Besides cold weather vegetables, many flowers do well in early spring. Pansies, snapdragons, pinks, roses and lilies can all be set out while the weather is still far from balmy. You can buy flats of pansies or grow your own by direct seeding into the garden.

Pansies (Viola × wittrockiana) are extremely cold hardy and can even withstand brief spring frosts and freezing spells even while in full bloom.

Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) have the advantage of coming in various sizes and forms from so called “low growing carpet snapdragons” to “spikes of rocket snaps,” whose colorful blooms often reach two or three feet tall. Snapdragons can endure cool temperatures and light frosts, and can be planted as early as a week or two before your last frost.

Dianthuses (Dianthus spp.), also called pinks, are perennial flowers that actually prefer cool growing temperatures. Pinks begin blooming when daytime temperatures get into the sixties. In spite of the name “pinks” they are available in red, white, pink, and even striped varieties.

Lilies (Lilium spp.) are hardy flowering bulbs that can be planted very early spring. You may want to cover very early lily plantings with a light mulch to protect against hard freezes. Once lilies begin to sprout, gently rake back the mulch to allow the soil to heat up. Like all bulbs, lilies do best with good drainage, as too much soil moisture will cause the bulbs to rot. Bare root roses are another good choice for planting in early spring as soon as the ground is thawed enough to be dug. So take a chance and plant cold hardy vegetables and flowers, “as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring.”

So when is “as soon as the soil can be worked?” Old farmers often went by the obvi-ous rule that as soon as the weeds start to grow in your garden, it’s time to plant your hardy vegetables and flowers. Your mileage may vary.

Seneca Federal: Not an average mortgage originator

Seneca Federal Vice President – Lending, Tammy Purcell, left, and Assistant Vice President – Lending, Rebecca Smith.

“Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, president-CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Asso-ciation. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took

part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities

this important component of our urban forest,” said Mike Gorham of Bartlett’s

office in Syracuse. According to Gorham,

scientists have developed

specific treatment recom-mendations for managing this pest. In fact, Bartlett offices in other states with Emerald Ash Borer have already implemented these recommendations and are successfully preserving trees. Periodic inspections, prompt removal of infested trees and annual treatments with the appropriate insec-ticides are just part of this success.

Gorham, a Board Certi-fied Master Arborist, urges property owners to re-member that each tree is different and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. “In many ways, trees are like humans and pets. Each tree responds differently to stressors and the prescribed treatments,” stated Gorham. “By assess-ing trees individually, we can determine how to best treat them. Or, if removal is the only option, we can do so in a way to help protect other trees on the property from the same fate.”

bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeown-ership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.”

Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mort-gage rates. “We look to competitors daily, in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Seneca Fed-eral has never used credit scores as a basis for loan ap-proval but rather base loan commitment on actual con-sumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent.

“A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the under-writing process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are very thankful when a customer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and before the loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak di-rectly with experienced loan underwriters who assist you in your mortgage loan ap-plication process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan.

The lending team is car-rying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communi-ties and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is al-ways retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan.

One example of a loan that is often tailor-made to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent

financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent fi-nancing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made loan includes a mortgage where a customer is purchasing a house in which projected renovations are included. The purchase and renovation costs are wrapped into one mortgage loan. Other features which

add to Seneca’s appeal as a mortgage lender include no flood certification fees and no underwriting fees. “This culture of personalized service was instilled into us by our predecessors, so that Seneca Federal’s continued success is guaranteed for de-cades to come,” she said.

“We pride ourselves on providing the best possible products with the lowest possible lending rates. As a community bank, it is our job to increase the wealth of our members through low lending rates and high savings rates, given the state of the economy at any given time,” ac-cording to Russo.

on high interest in specific issues, it is nice to have the support from residents, understanding a certain trust that comes with the elected position and expecting board mem-bers to make conscious decisions. We also have the opportunity for high school student participa-tion in attendance at our meetings, giving them the experience to witness local government first hand.

Open discussion and interaction amongst town board members, discussion during public hearings and presentations from special committees are just a few of the agenda items. There are debates and disagreements, but as board members, each has an obligation to pres-ent there perspectives on issues and to have con-structive discussions with information to support their decisions. Board members have assigned accountabilities within the town which allows them to work directly with vari-ous departmental heads.

This improves the produc-tivity of the town hall and also focuses on working together as a team.

Now that the weather is breaking, I would like to invite you to come to our town board meetings. We meet every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. The pre-liminary agenda for our meeting is posted on the town website, ciceronewy-ork.net, the Monday prior to the meeting. Our next town board meeting will be Wednesday April 27at the Town Hall, 8236 S. Main St. in Cicero. I hope to see you there.

Now back to “Freedom of Speech.” It was one of four paintings commis-sioned in 1943 during WWII. The others were “Freedom of Worship,” “Freedom from Want” and “Freedom from Fear.” The freedoms we have are to be cherished and participat-ing in our freedom “is our right!”

Liverpool boys lacrosse starts 2-1By phil Blackwell

[email protected]

Not long after it stepped out for the 2011 season under new head coach Mike Felice, the Liverpool boys lacrosse team got an up-close look at the dynasty it wants to topple.

The Warriors’ second game of the season involved a trip to Camillus last Thurs-day night to face nine-time defending Section III Class A champion West Genesee – who knocked out Liver-pool in last year’s sectional semifinals.

For a brief while, Liverpool handled the Wildcats’ unique set of challenges – but a sec-ond-quarter spurt changed everything, and by the time it was done the Warriors had suffered a 17-6 defeat.

Joe Corapi won a fair share of first-quarter face-offs, al-lowing Liverpool a chance to possess the ball for long stretches of the first quarter. Thanks to goals by Corapi, Kyle DeAngelis and Austin Hope, the Warriors seized a 3-2 lead.

All that changed, though, early in the second period. Liverpool’s zone defense got burned as, in a stretch of two minutes, 32 seconds, WG attacker Cody Hoose put in

four goals, giving his side the lead for good.

Liverpool still only trailed 7-3 at halftime, but by the time it got on the board again, WG had put together five straight goals in the third quarter to all but settle matters.

Corapi finished with three goals, while Matt Savlov con-verted in the fourth quarter. Other than Hoose, Corey Herrington (two goals, six assists) and Dylan Donahue (five goals, all in the second half) led the Wildcats along.

Two nights earlier, Liv-erpool, who spent the 2010 season playing home games at Solvay’s Earl Hadley Stadium, had a true home game to start the season – and used a big mid-game surge to beat the Oswego Buccaneers 16-9.

In contrast to the War-riors, Oswego had already played three times, winning them all. Despite this gap in game experience, Liverpool played the Bucs to a 2-2 first-quarter draw, waiting for the offense to warm up on a windy, chilly night that featured dashes of snow.

Sure enough, in the sec-ond period Liverpool raced ahead for good with seven goals, then kept on tearing up Oswego’s defense in the third period until it had a 15-6 lead.

Corapi and Savlov led the charge, both of them finish-ing with five goals as Corapi added two assists. DeAngelis scored twice, while Chris Spencer earned a goal and two assists. Jeff Conley also had a goal, with Hope and Harrison Sardella gaining one assist apiece.

Right after falling to West Genesee, Liverpool returned home Saturday and, meeting Essex Junction (Vermont), rolled to a 13-2 victory.

Led by Bryan Capone, Mike Czachowski and Luigi Barletta, the Warriors’ defense did not surrender a goal until the fourth quarter, by which point Liverpool was up 11-0. Combined, goalies Dominick Madonna and Mike Alessi made eight saves.

Meanwhile, Spencer, with two goals and three assists, led a well-balanced attack. Corapi and Savlov both fin-ished with three goals and one assist as Logan Thomas produced two goals and two assists. Hope managed a goal and assist, while Nick Kline and Scott Kershner also converted. DeAngelis, Matt Glowacki and Jamie Kuppel had one assist apiece.

Liverpool was home again Tuesday, to face Utica Proctor, prior to a Thursday trip to Rome Free Academy.

Two wins for CNS girls laxBy phil Blackwell

[email protected]

A busy week of activity saw the Cicero-North Syra-cuse girls lacrosse team stay above the .500 mark – even if the one blemish was a big one.

CNS improved to 2-1 last Tuesday night, steadily pull-ing away from Henninger/Nottingham in a 16-8 deci-sion at Bragman Stadium.

Even in the wintry condi-tions (high wind, occasional snow), the Northstars had a strong start, similar to its April 1 win over Carthage, as it gained a 9-3 lead by half-time, never letting the visitors get too close.

Rachel Bowles nearly matched Henninger/Not-tingham by herself with six goals, adding an assist. Cait-lyn Hamilton augmented her pair of goals with four assists, while Stefany Gale scored three times for a hat trick. Sarah Bowles and Tiffany

Ryan each had two goals and one assist. Kristi Thompson added an goal.

On Friday night, CNS made it back-to-back home wins, methodically pulling away from Auburn as it took out the Maroons 17-7.

For a while, Auburn did hang close, the Northstars only leading 9-5 at the half. However, CNS started to control the draws on a more regular basis and outscored the Maroons 8-2 the rest of the way.

And it spread the produc-tion around, too. Hamilton had four goals and one assist, but four other players – Ryan, Rachel Bowles, Sarah Bowles and Shelby Monteyunas – had their own three-goal hat tricks. Gale contributed, too, with a goal and three assists. Combined, goalie Stef Reyn-olds and Meghan Wiacek had 13 saves.

All this contrasted with what took place Saturday, as CNS went north, to Wa-

tertown, and watched the defending Section III Class B champion Cyclones smother them 19-2.

It was difficult enough playing Watertown under any circumstances. But as the tail end of back-to-back games, the Northstars had little chance to contain Wa-tertown, who pitched a 10-0 first-half shutout.

Ryan and Rachel Bowles would score in the second half to prevent the shutout, but Watertown’s star trio of Bri Arthur and Maureen Keggans proved too much, as Arthur amassed six goals and two assists, and Keggins found the net five times.

CNS was home again Tuesday for a clash with Central Square. A Thursday rematch with Auburn fol-lows, and on Saturday the Northstars host main rival Liverpool for the first of two regular-season encounters (the other is May 10).

Liverpool boys track wins at CNS Relays

By phil Blackwell [email protected]

In a rousing start to the spring track and field season, Liverpool nearly pulled off a sweep at last Saturday’s Ci-cero-North Syracuse Relays at Bragman Stadium.

Finally able to practice on its own track after a couple of seasons entirely spent on the road, the boys Warriors held off the host Northstars, 55.17 points to 53.5 points, for first place in a 20-team field. Not only that, but the Liverpool girls got 73 points to finish a close second to Rush-Henrietta (74 points) in that portion of the meet.

zavon Watkins teamed with Kam Arnold, Ryan Ronk and Steve Fiorello to win the 1,600 sprint medley relay in 3:30.62, with Chris Buchanan, Ryan Connor, Frank Volino Jr. and Mark Broughton putting CNS in second place in 3:39.03.

Moving to the 4x400 relay, Watkins and Arnold joined Keewan Rondinello and Julian Anjorin for a win-ning time of 3:25.89, nearly three seconds better than runner-up Indian River.

Liverpool dominated the 400-meter hurdles as Ron-dinello took the individual title in 57.36 seconds and Joe Spernyak (58.86 seconds) was third, leading to a team victory. In the 110 high hurdles, Spernyak beat CNS’s Kareem Lee, 15.32 seconds to 15.92, for first place and combined with Justin McG-riff to win the team event in 32.60 seconds. The North-stars were fourth.

McGriff won the individ-ual triple jump with 42 feet 9 ½ inches and combined with Ryan Ronk for third place (79 feet 7 ½ inches). Geoff Bell and Nick Leedham were fifth in the shot put, with Chris Grannell and Kyle Dalton sixth in the discus.

Not getting shut out, the Northstars went to the front in the 4x100 relay as Volino, Broughton, Avery Yarn and Ryan Connor sped to vic-tory in 44.31 seconds, more than a second ahead of run-ner-up Baldwinsville. The Northstars also were fourth (11:18.62) in the distance medley relay.

And led by Buchanan, CNS claimed the mile re-lay, Buchanan winning the individual race in 4:20.93 and joining Jared Walther, Anthony Lupia and Neil Gill for the top spot.

Lee and Joel Brousseau prevail in the high jump, combining to clear 11 feet 4 inches, two inches better than Baldwinsville as Liver-pool tied for fourth. Mike Hyde was second in the pole vault, clearing 12 feet, as Lee and Jalen Jenkins were fifth in the long jump.

Liverpool had more points in the girls meet, cleaning up in field events. Shanice Leach, by going 15 feet 9 ½ inches in the long jump, edged Armani Moore (15 feet 9 ¼ inches) by a quarter of an inch as they combined to win with 31 feet 6 ¾ inches.

Not only that, but Brean-na Burns and Shae Shenan-doah teamed to win the pole vault, clearing 13 feet 6

inches between them. Leach and Megan Earle paired up to go 66 feet 5 ½ inches in the triple jump, second to Ithaca. Meagan Turner and Tammy Brodie were second in the high jump (10 feet). Mary Reed and Shania Williams teamed for third place (164 feet 9 inches) in the discus.

On the oval, Liverpool won the 4x100 relay where Moore, Leach, Hannah An-thes and Connie Torres, beat Rush-Henrietta, 51.51 seconds to 51.80. Leach, An-thes, Kyla Bills and Ore Akin-palu were third (4:34.44) in the sprint medley relay.

Bills, along with Rachel Putman, Jessica Turner and Lindsey Thiel, were second in the 1,500-meter run in 22:31.15, just behind Maine-Endwell (22:27.02) as CNS claimed sixth place. The War-riors added a fourth in the distance medley (13:54.85) and sixth in the 4x400 relay.

CNS only had 27 points in the meet, but still won the 100-meter high hurdles. Ka-tie Osborne took individual honors in 16.10 seconds and combined with Hannah Szumloz for the victory in 33.92 seconds. Liverpool (36.15 seconds) was fourth.

Also, Jade Jenkins and Justine Seliger got third and fourth, respectively, in the 400 hurdles and helped the Northstars win that event in 2:33.11, more than four seconds ahead of Whites-boro. Mariah Thomson won the individual discus with a throw of 94 feet 4 inches and was second (33 feet 5 inches) in the shot put.

SportsZumba class falls short of World record

CNS boys lacrosse earns split

Liverpool girls lax battle in loss to West Genny

Submitted by kAt bombARd

Dancing Kats Fitness Studio and the Syracuse Crunch recently teamed up in an effort to beat the Guinness Book of World Records largest Zumba class. The event was held March 26 at the Onondaga County War Memorial prior to the Syracuse versus Rochester hockey game. While the class did not beat the current record (860 people), Kat Bombard, of Dancing Kats said they will try again to beat the record in the future. Pictured are Dancing Kats instructors (top row, left to right) Kaelyn Rowley, Kat Bombard, Nicole Quilty and Jessica Seiter. (Middle row) Tess Matineau, Ashley Hammond, Caryn Irwin, MJ Morales, Jo Sweredoski, Kelsie Deyo, Jeanne Vinette, Cristina Battle and Amy Supparits. (Botton row) Sue Petrilli, Alisa Hoff and Noelle Snyder.


Perhaps the Liverpool girls lacrosse team could draw a pair of conclusions from last Thursday night’s 14-9 defeat to West Gen-esee at the new Warrior Stadium turf.

On the one hand, Liv-erpool lost again to the four-time defending Sec-tion III Class A cham-pion Wildcats. Yet the Warriors played at a high level throughout the night, making WG work for all 50 minutes to stay in front.

The pattern was set in the first half where, despite lots more scoring chances, WG only led 6-4. As the game wore on, Liverpool goalie Tess Tracy was spec-tacular, constantly turning away the Wildcats and fin-

ishing with 18 saves.Liverpool could not

produce enough to back up Tracy’s effort, despite four goals and one assist from Andrea Flood. Nina Tassone found the net twice, while Mary Fad-den, Brianna Mancini and Anna Daucher landed the other goals. Morgan Kline added an assist. For WG, Erica Geremia (four goals) and Emily Tripodi (two goals, three assists) led the attack.

Two days before its en-counter with the Wildcats, the Warriors made the cold, windy trip to Oswego and had an offensive explo-sion in the first half to beat the Buccaneers 16-6.

All through the first 25 minutes, Liverpool aggres-sively tore into Oswego’s defense, not letting up until

it had a 14-2 advantage and the clock was run-ning. Once the margin was established, the starters rested in the second half, awaiting the bigger chal-lenge ahead.

In the limited time they were on the field, Tassone amassed five goals and one assist, while Flood put up four goals and one assist. Fadden and Daucher each found the net twice, with Fadden adding a pair of as-sists. Kristina Lombard got one goal and two assists, with Mancini and Janae Garofalo also converting.

Following a rematch Monday with Oswego and a game Thursday with Rome Free Academy, Liv-erpool goes to Bragman Stadium Saturday to meet rival Cicero-North Syra-cuse.

Liverpool boys tennis falls to F-M Hornets By phil Blackwell

[email protected]

It dried up so that the Liverpool boys tennis team could take the court and open its spring campaign on a very high-profile note.

On Saturday, the War-riors, already 2-0 on the season, took its shot at Fay-etteville-Manlius, but could not derail the Hornets’ 14-year, 190-match win streak in a 7-0 defeat.

Of the three singles

matches, Jason Lam had the closest call, pushing Ryan Izant to a first-set tie-breaker, but still taking a 7-6, 6-4 defeat. Chris Brais and Mike Schneider had the other singles defeats.

In doubles, Joe Corcoran and Luke Donigan fell to Danny and James Miron 6-4, 6-4, with Sean Martens and Alex Nguyen losing to Sam Badalian and Alex Martin 6-3, 6-4. The teams of Bodgan Grynyk-An-thony Taormina and Pat

Kenney-Karl Miller both fell in 6-2, 6-0 matches.

Back in Wednesday’s opener, the Warriors domi-nated Nottingham, blanking the Bulldogs 7-0. In singles play, Lam and Mike Sch-neider both won 6-0, 6-0 matches over, respectively, John Lopez and Nadir Mc-Cray. Brais spent a bit more time on the court, but still beat Josh Feldman 6-3, 6-1.

Moving to doubles, Mar-tens and Steve Schneider preserved the shutout by ral-

lying past Justin D’Antonio and James Jackson 6-7, 7-6 (7-3), 11-7.

Other wise , C orco-ran and Donigan handled Aghiles Bacha and Colin O’Keefe 6-1, 6-0. Grynyk and Taormina had a 6-1, 6-1 sweep of Renaldo Memelli and Shagar Subba, while Miller and Nguyen fought past Isaac Garland and An-drew Nguyen 6-3, 7-5.

A day later, the Warriors faced Central Square, and it proved a lot closer – but

Liverpool still edged past the Red Hawks 4-3.

Brais lost in three sets to Justin Parow 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, and Lam lost in straight sets. Thus, Steve Schneider needed his singles point – and got it, beating Savon Johnson 6-4, 6-3.

Liverpool made up for it in doubles, going 3-1 there. Corcoran and Mike Sch-neider routed Mike Allen and Will Galbraith 6-1, 6-1, while Martens and Doni-gan got past Jason Ashley

and Noah Roberts 7-6, 6-3. Grynyk and Taormina beat Derrick Lederle and Josh Wheeler by those same scores.

As this went on, Cicero-North Syracuse, in its only week of the match, had its own encounter with F-M, watching the Hornets pre-vail 7-0, just like it would against Liverpool. In the closest match, the doubles team of Colin Crooks and David Scorzelli lost to Bada-lian and Martin 6-2, 6-2.


As it headed into its CNY Counties League slate, the Cicero-North Syracuse boys lacrosse team found out that a lot more work remained before it could aim for the top.

Despite making a strong second-half comeback in last Tuesday night’s game at Henninger, the Northstars

could not prevail, falling to the Black Knights 13-12 in double overtime.

Little went right for CNS in the first half as Henninger, led by Andrew Jackson’s scoring punch, took a quick lead and, by the break, had the Northstars trailing by an 8-4 margin.

That didn’t last, though. A subtle defensive adjust-ment in the third quarter put CNS in charge as it

blanked Henninger and, with five unanswered goals, took a 9-8 lead.

Through an active final period, the Black Knights caught up, tying it 12-12 and sending it to overtime. The first OT period went without a score, but in the second extra frame Jackson returned and put in the game-winner, his fifth goal of the night to go with two assists.

No one on CNS’s side was as productive, though Rob Spenard and Mike Fiorini came close with four goals apiece. Tyler Heldt found the net twice as Scott Slater and Dylan Collins also converted. Combined, goalies Brian Pitonzo and Bryan Schenk made 20 saves.

At least the Northstars recovered on Thursday night at Bragman Stadium,

easily topping the Not-tingham Bulldogs 18-5 to improve to 2-2 on the season.

Possessing the ball for most of the first half, CNS constantly found the net, not stopping until it had a 13-4 edge going into the break.

And the margin kept growing as Scott Slater set the pace with five goals and two assists. Mike FIorini

and zach Waldron each found the net three times, with Fiorini adding a pair of assists. Tyler Heldt and Dylan Collins both had two goals as Rob Spenard, Brandon Townsend and Ryan Houghtalen earned single goals.

On Tuesday night, CNS made the short trip north, to Central Square, before returning home Thursday night to take on Auburn.

CNS baseball, softball claim opening winsBy phil Blackwell

[email protected]

Saddled with the role of pre-season favorite in the Section III Class AA ranks, the Cicero-North Syra-cuse baseball team might find, through the next two months, that it can live up to those expectations.

For now, though, the Northstars can just bask in a satisfying season-open-ing win, as it took charge in the middle of Saturday afternoon’s season opener against Baldwinsville and went on to earn a 9-3 vic-tory over the Bees at Gillette Field.

As a first test, it appeared

to be a stiff one. B’ville, like CNS, brought a host of talented players back from 2010 and, in its opener the day before, had pounded out plenty of runs in a 15-5 romp over Mexico.

Sure enough, the North-stars trailed, 2-0, going to the bottom of the third in-ning, only to move ahead

for good when it put to-gether a three-run rally. To back that up, CNS got four more runs in the fourth to make it 7-2, and never got caught.

Brian Hamilton hit a solo home run and scored twice. Jack Hotaling pounded out three of the Northstars’ eight hits, earning a pair of

RBIs as Matt Dykeman and Corey Burrows also scored two runs. Riley Moonan and Eric Hamilton drove in runs, too.

CNS, w hos e main strength might be a deep and versatile pitching rota-tion, saw Kyano Cummings work five innings for the win, giving just two hits

while striking out five. Dan Brower had a solid two-in-ning relief stint.

As this went on, the CNS softball team, bent on returning to the state cham-pionship game that it lost a season ago, also opened

with a victory in Satur-day’s warm sunshine, beating Horseheads by the same 9-3 margin that the baseball team used to conquer B’ville.

By far, the biggest off-season development for softball was the move of the pitcher’s circle three feet back, from 30 to 33 feet. It could give the hit-ter a bit more time to see the ball - or give a top pitcher more time to give

it some action.CNS sure was ready for

this on the offensive side - as evidenced by the eight runs it got in the bottom of the first inning to put Horseheads far behind them. Sydney Harbaugh and Kelly Corbin both had two hits and two RBIs as Amy Van Hoven notched a team-best three hits.

Brittany Paul, fresh off helping the CNS girls bas-

ketball team win the state Class AA championship, managed two hits, as did Sydney O’Hara, who also pitched a complete game that included nine strike-outs against five hits and one walk allowed.

Each of the CNS teams were set for a pair of early-week games (both playing Central Square Tuesday) before meeting Fayette-ville-Manlius on Friday.

Softball From page 17 Renew your dog licenses in cicero The town of Cicero requires

all dog owners to register their dogs four months and older. This can be taken care of through the Town Clerk’s Office from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. All dog owners who previously licensed their dogs with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets must renew their licenses with the town in which they

reside on a yearly basis. Please make sure that all previous licenses are up to date and that your dogs are wearing their ID tag for the safe return, should your dog get loose. All licenses, new or renewed, will be given a new ID tag starting in Janu-ary of 2011. Any questions can be directed to the Town Clerk’s Office at 699-8109.
