Board of Education meeting draws hundredsUncertain "nancial future fuels discussion at auditorium

By Pierce [email protected]

Hundreds gathered together on Valentine’s Day to discuss topics very close to their hearts, Cazenovia Central School Districts’ programs and personnel. At 6:30 p.m. Feb. 14 in the Ca-zenovia High School Auditorium, students, par-ents, residents and school employees came out to voice their concerns and show their support at the most recent board of education meeting.

With the Governor Andrew Cuomo’s recent budget proposal sending shockwaves through districts across the New York, Cazenovia schools are facing a de!cit of $1.25 million and declin-ing enrollment. Non-mandated positions and programs have been considered for reduction. Kindergarten and counseling services are not required by state regulations, even though many consider them to be vital

Several residents took the microphone and addressed the board, o"ering their insights to the rami!cations of possible cuts and sugges-tions for alternative e"orts to economize.

Department leaders Ron Luteran and Eric Jerabek were the !rst to speak. #e two applaud-ed the school for their “tradition of excellence”

and quality of newly hired sta", and warned that saving money by increasing class sizes and decreasing sta$ng is an equation that will yield an inverse reaction.

“Our tradition of excellence has been based predominately on how well we connect with kids. We’ve had the ability to adapt our instruc-tion skills so that the needs of the children are met,” Jerabek said. “With larger class sizes it’s harder to have the kids connect with us, and it’s

harder to get the kids to connect with the mate-rial; that’s not to say we don’t try our hardest,”

Others addressed the importance of the agri-cultural, music, health and athletic departments, which could also face reductions. Several stu-dent-members of the Future Farmers of America spoke, as well as one of their agricultural science instructors, Mandi Millen.

Burton Street skating rinks have rich history, melting budgetMother Nature, money issues contributing factors to closing

By Pierce Smith

#e ice-skating season at the Burton Street rinks may be ending in the coming weeks. While the season started con-siderably early three months ago, unpredictable weather patterns and a dwindling budget have subsequently forced coordinators to set a tentative closing date for Feb. 27.

Funds that keep the rinks open each year are drawn from the Joint Recreation Program. #e budget is shared between the village and town of Cazenovia, the town of Nelson and the town of Fenner. #e four municipalities contribute !nances according to the percentage of resi-dents that use the skating rinks.

#is year, the village of Cazenovia drew a limited amount of supplemental funds from another line in their budget in order to prolong the skating season. Board mem-bers encouraged the three other entities to do the same, while understanding that municipal budgets are tight for

Community NewsSecurity expert visits Cazenovia, discusses AfghanistanCazenovia Forum was host to CNN analyst Peter Bergen

By Keith Henry

On Friday Feb. 11, the very day that Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down in the face of increas-ingly violent protests, the Cazenovia Forum welcomed security expert, author and producer Peter Bergen to the Catherine Cummings #eatre. #e event was a organized as an op-portunity for residents to learn of Bergen’s personal views, expertise and insights on a range of national and international security issues.

Bergen, whose latest book “#e Longest War: #e Enduring Con%ict between America and Al-Qaeda” was praised by the New York Times as the essential primer for understanding the war on terror, produced the !rst television interview with Osama bin Laden in 1997 while at CNN.

It was in that interview that bin Laden declared war on the United States. Bergen, director of the national security studies program at the New America Foundation, has reported on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, counter-

terrorism and homeland security for a ra& of major news outlets. He was candid yet optimistic about the future of Afghanistan.

Bergen told the crowd of more than 250 people there are some common myths about Afghanistan that cloud some assessments of the situation there.

“I think there are some very persis-

tent myths about Afghanistan. First of all, an in%uential myth is that Af-ghanistan is the ‘graveyard of empires’, and it was certainly the graveyard of the Soviet Empire,” Bergen said. “But the Soviets went in, they killed a mil-lion Afghans, they made a third of the population homeless, they in%icted a totalitarian war on the population and

Bridge ResultsSalisburys on N/S streak, Emerick and Bull clinch E/W

By Dave Bull

Toni and Bob Salisbury continued their winning ways by posting the best overall score and !nishing !rst on the North/South side. Alice Angelo teamed with Lie Ludwig to come in second, just ahead of Joyce and Gary Droege.

Penny Emerick and Dave Bull edged Poly and Jack Ko-erner to claim top East/West honors, with Jim Schi'auer and Dick Shaw coming in third.

#e group meets at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays at the Cazenovia Public Library, usually in the community room. All games are open to the public, but we ask players to come with their own partners.

We are not a sanctioned American Contract Bridge League game by choice, so we don’t give ACBL master points and try to keep it a friendly game.

#e skill levels of our players vary considerably.

OpinionLettersStudents support their teacher

“!e Dream” One night a thought invaded my

mind.Whether dream or reality, I can-not decide.

An eternal darkness had set on a small town, wiping out miles and miles of hope to be found.

Scarcity became more abundant everyday, forcing the people to gather and "nd a way,

To appease the darkness and mend their pain. But this meant making tough choices again and again.

Of the people in the town, some were asked to leave. !e rest waited in anticipation, "nding it hard to breath.

“Not me, not me! I won’t be ban-ished just yet!”But their worst fears were con"rmed and rejection was met.

!ere was a man, di#erent from all the rest. His passion and enthusiasm made him the best of the best.

He was young and committed and loved by all, but there was still a chance his name would be called.

Decision Day was one unlike any other. A room was "lled with fathers, children, and mothers.

All here to discuss the man’s unde-cided fate. While the people conferred, in chair he would wait.

Speeches were given and arguments spoken. !eir decision could leave him battered and broken

As he sat in his chair, he put his head in his hands. !e leader walked up and took the stand.

!eir verdict was just about to be stated, when my memory ceased, stopped, and faded.

All I can do is wonder what hap-pened to the man, who everyone one loved, but was about to be banned.

To the editor:I understand the di$culties that

the economic crisis has in%icted upon our community and school. I also understand that Mr. #omas Murlin is only one teacher who will be a"ected. #e Board of Education will be forced to make tough deci-sions no matter who and what is cut from our school budget. However, I urge the board and other commu-nity leaders to weigh the impact that teachers have on their students over their length of employment when making future budget decisions.

We need teachers who will prepare their students for the real world, providing them not only with speci!c knowledge of a subject, but with essential life skills and lessons. Mr. Murlin does not cater his classes to the !nal exam at year’s end. To teach how to form a strong written argument, Mr. Murlin organizes

class debates. To teach how rhetori-cal strategies are used everyday, Mr. Murlin has his classes analyze maga-zine advertisements and then create their own using what they learned. A&er all, what good are test scores and project grades if the material can’t be applied to real life?

Furthermore, we need teachers that go above and beyond what is required of them in terms of leading extra-curricular activities, helping students outside of class, and serving as role models. Mr. Murlin is the boy’s varsity golf coach and is cur-rently being trained by Mrs. Born-ing to eventually succeed her as the advisor of National Honor Society. He also chaperones nearly every school dance. I cannot remember how many college essay dra&s Mr. Murlin proofread for me, but I can honestly say he is a big reason why I was accepted to Cornell University. Mr. Murlin exceeds his requirements as a high school English teacher and continuously supports students in and outside the classroom.

Without Mr. Murlin, the lives of students at Cazenovia High School would be very di"erent. He is the best English teacher I have ever had, and many other students would say the same. Please consider these factors as you decide the fate of this talented and devoted teacher.

BRODIE SHEPHARDCAZ HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR

School budget needs careful considerationTo the editor:

At the School Board meeting on Feb. 14, the administration pre-sented an overview of the budget indicating a potential 1.2 million dollar shortfall. To !ll the gap the presentation indicated a 5 percent increase in our school taxes and cuts in student programming. #e presentation also depicted areas of increased costs. Approximately $700,000 of the potential 1.2 million dollar shortfall was for increases in teacher compensation.

As a taxpayer, I’d like some perspective of this increase. Is this increase the result of good faith ne-gotiations between the school board and the teacher’s union? Could this number have been higher? Have the teachers heard and understood our concerns? Have they agreed to help close the budget gap? If so, then maybe a tax increase and reduced student programming is inevitable. If everyone is contributing equally to the solution of a very di$cult problem that is all that can reason-ably be asked.

However, if this increase depicts a status quo approach on the part of the teacher’s union (raises, no in-

creased contributions to their medi-cal insurance or pension plans), then I’m dead set against it. If this is the case, then, once again, the taxpay-ers and the students !nd themselves bearing the burden of an overpriced, unsustainable educational system while the union members receive bene!ts that we are no longer willing or able to pay for.

We need the board to put this issue into perspective for the voters before we can support a new school budget containing a tax increase and reduced educational opportunities for our children. Contract negotia-tions need to be con!dential, but the potential rami!cation of the contract terms needs to be communicated. We need to understand that the teachers are bargaining in good faith and have the needs of our students and our community as their !rst priority.

At the next school board meeting I plan on presenting the “cazcon-tract” petition to the board in an e"ort to strengthen their resolve as they continue negotiating the teacher’s contract. If you would like to add your support to our cause please do so at cazcontract.com. You can sign up on the opening page and then see your name, along with the names of all other signatories, by clicking below the “View Signatures” banner found at the lower le& of the opening page.

If we can maintain a civil dis-course I am certain an equitable solution can be achieved.

Reminder to dog owners, scoop the poopTo the editor:

It is time the dog owners in this village who do not clean up a&er their dogs all winter long take note of what a disgusting mess is le& behind (no pun intended).

Now that it is a bit warmer, snow is melting and revealing the soggy, thawed piles of “doo.” It becomes less than pleasant to walk along the sidewalks and soak in the not-so-fresh air.

On Monday, I had the occasion to walk down a good part of the north side of Albany Street and passed sev-eral piles. It is imperative to watch your step or you may !nd yourself sliding through a pile of poop!

#e odor is disgusting and I truly feel sorry for the Department of Public Works crew that gets the disgusting job of cleaning it up. It is time these dog owners carry a bag and clean up a&er their pooping pooches!

Would you like your opinion to be heard? Send us your comments!

[email protected]

One of the aspects of this position I have re-cently been enjoying the most, is its process. To get the proper information for articles, journalists must fact-check them-selves against a number of sources. #is can become quite tedious, when phone calls lead to voicemails and e-mail responses are un-timely. However, if the odds are in your favor, it can be quite fun and exciting, as I found out this past week.

Earlier, I had pitched an idea to my executive editor that dealt with the Burton Street skating rinks. I got the go-ahead, and started searching for information.

I !rst contacted Ted Bartlett, the uno$cial village historian. He o"ered up all the insight he could on the skating rinks, and gave me a phone number. He told me to contact Chuck Race, one of the men that was close to the Cazenovia Youth Hockey Program.

I called Chuck. He gave me a few valuable pieces of information, and suggested I call his brother, Rick Race. I called Rick. He was a also good source of historical facts; and another phone number, he told me to call Mark Costello. I called Mark, former hockey coach for the high school. Mark was very helpful with dates, then he recommended I call Bob Stintson.

So, I called Bob. Bob is married to Bobbie Stintson, who is the daughter of Bob Kelly, the man that helped start the program in 1961. I had hit the jackpot. Bob-bie had an expansive photo collection, and Bob had a scanner. Over the course of a few hours I sat and talked with the two, learning more about the skating rinks and the life of Bob Kelly.

It was an incredibly enjoyable experience, both as a reporter and Cazenovia resident. Having lived just up the street from these rinks, I never really knew their history.

I want to thank the Stintsons and every other source I contacted this week, for all their help.

Community NewsCCP board announces new members

By Kelli Johnson

At its most recent board meeting, Cazenovia Community Preschool ac-cepted the nomination of several new members to the Board of Directors. Interim co-chairs Lauren Lines and Kelli Johnson announced the addition of Renee Adams, Rosemary #omp-son, Jane Cody, Diana Southworth, Stefanie Lints, and Kelly Isbell.

An early childhood education undergraduate, Renee Adams, will be serving as a student representative from Cazenovia College. “Becoming a teacher is a great interest of mine and I expect that being a part of the CCP board will be an important experience for me.” Adams said.

Rosemary Thompson will be serving in the position of Secretary on the Executive Board. Previously a social worker, #ompson is a homeo-path with a background in healing through chakras, meditation, and Reiki. She lives with her husband and two children (former and current CCP students) in Cazenovia.

Shortly a&er earning a MS degree in art education in 1973, Jane Cody moved back Cazenovia, a place she had called home periodically since the age of ten. Cody lives on a dairy farm with her husband and wishes to give back to an organization that has been so helpful in the past. Her son attended CCP, and was the recipient of their scholarship when he graduated high school.

Diana Southworth joined the CCP Board a&er a 22-year career with Madison County Head Start, initially as a home visitor and eventually as the Coordinator for Education and Disabilities. Her grandchildren at-tended CCP “A quality preschool is

vitally important to children as they begin formalized schooling and is critical to the community at large,” Southworth said.

Susan moved her busi-ness, Syracuse Jewelry from the University Building in downtown Syracuse to the back room of the current Cazenovia store. Syracuse Jewelry was a wholesale jewelry re-pair business serving CNY area fine jewelry stores. Since those early days, Cazenovia Jewelry has ex-panded to three locations; Cazenovia, Manlius and the newest in Fayetteville. The stores continue to be full service jewelry stores. The Cazenovia and Man-lius locations also carry upscale gifts. All three loca-tions feature in house jewelry, watch repair services, appraisals and custom design. Susan enjoys creating unique one of a kind pieces in sterling silver, gold and unusual gemstones. Her work is for sale in the Cazenovia store. Susan's jew-elry designs have been featured in two recently pub-lished Lark Books. Susan's spiral 14k yellow gold earrings are featured in "30 minute Earrings" and a pearl and 14k yellow gold necklace is featured in "30 Minute Necklaces" Cazenovia Jewelry has supported many community

events, such as The Chilly Chili Run, Eggstravagan-za, 4th of July Race and The Jazz Fest, to name a few. Cazenovia Jewelry is also a member of the Cazenovia Chamber of Commerce. Susan is also active in the local Historic Cazenovia Business District.

SchoolsCazenovia High School recognized for philanthropic e#ortsOver 100 students help Salvation Army and CazCares to raise funds


Cazenovia High School students were honored by the Salvation Army and were presented a plaque for their outstanding service on Feb. 16 in the Buckley Gymnasium. Participants in grades 9 through 12 col-lectively logged 350 volun-teer hours during the 2010 Red Kettle Campaign and raised $6,225 this past holi-day season. CazCares client services director, Gigi Red-mond, and Salvation Army Field Representative Joshua R. Sheriff applauded the students for their achieve-ments and reminded them what a di"erence they were

able to make to their com-munity.

“In Cazenovia, 1300 people were helped. #ere were over 300 children that were able to receive help. Kids that weren’t going to have a Christmas gi& this

year, did, because of all of you,” Sheri" said. “#e rea-son that America is great is because of kids like you, you really are the future, and the future looks great. #is is a town that sees its own need, and helps itself.”

Students volunteered their time, standing along-side the traditional red kettle and ringing the fa-miliar bell for about six weeks. From the weekend

Monthly chamber member meeting illustrates high participation


#e Brae Loch Inn was host to 40 local businesses the evening of Feb. 15 for the Greater Cazenovia Area Chamber of Commerce monthly members meeting. Representatives from local construction, health care, information technology, environmental consulting, photography, lodging and retail companies gathered to network, and listen to the state of the chamber address.

“#is is what the cham-ber is for, to socialize, steal each other’s ideas and pros-per,” Chamber President Gene Gissin said.

#e event served as a social event for members; the relaxed atmosphere al-lowed for casual interaction and friendly conversation. In addition to the bottom %oor of the Brae Loch, Jim

and Val Barr procured a buffet of hors d’oeuvres. Once the participants had a chance to !nd their seats and sample the spread, Gis-sin presented the chamber’s accomplishments in 2010, and o"ered insight to the year ahead.

The GCACC was re-cently included in the CNY

Business Journal for the !rst time in 15 years. In past years, chamber members noticed a decline in par-ticipation, but have seen a large in%ux lately. Of note this year was the success of the Farmer’s Market during the summer months, and the continued support of the Winter Farmer’s Mar-

ket, which has been run-ning since November. Also, the chamber just !nalized this year’s directory and sent the material to print. Booklets are being mailed this week.

The chamber has an active calendar planned for upcoming months. In

Interim report released by Shared Services CommitteeOver recent years, a sub-

ject of much conversation within the village and the town of Cazenovia has been the sharing of their services to reduce costs. In March 2009, both the village and town boards authorized a citizens committee, entitled the Shared Services Com-mittee, to review the topic.

#e committee consists of eight residents from the town and the village. Resident Helen Beale serves as the chair. A&er a study extending nearly two years, the committee released its interim report to the boards in December. #e commit-tee is currently awaiting the responses of the boards to the report.

The complete Shared Services Committee In-terim Report, together with a compact disk containing an appendix of source ma-terial, is available at the Ca-zenovia Public Library as well as the New Woodstock Free Library. As a service to the public, the Cazenovia League of Women Voters has made the report avail-able on its website cazeno-vialwv.org. Major !ndings and recommendations of the committee that are set out in its report include:

Professional Administa-tor or Manager

#e question of a profes-sional management type of government merits further

consideration by the Village and Town of Cazenovia. #is consideration should entail a studied assessment of the financial and op-erational e"ectiveness that professional management could o"er, both from short term and long term plan-ning perspectives. #e op-tion of sharing an executive o$cer as opposed to each governmental entity having its own o$cer should also be considered.

Professional manage-ment is not suggested as the ultimate answer for each and every challenge that the village and the town are facing today. Multimil-lion-dollar enterprises and governmental bodies of any

significant size, however, are unlikely to be truly suc-cessful without full-time executive oversight and coordination. Accordingly, the village and town of Cazenovia should review the implementation of a professional management type of government.

Highway DepartmentThe existing sharing

of services between the village and town highway departments should con-tinue. For various reasons, any additional sharing of equipment and the combin-ing of material and supply purchases are not evident. If the highway departments were to merge, a savings in

management costs could occur.

O"ce Building#e Town should con-

sider moving into the vil-lage municipal building for reasons of cost savings and management e$ciencies.

PoliceBecause advantages and

disadvantages exist for transferring village police protection to the Madison County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment, the village of Cazeno-via should examine further the option of having the Madison County Sheri" ’s Department replace the village police department. #e village may qualify as

a recipient of New York State grant money for such a study.

For additional informa-tion on the Shared Ser-vices Committee, contact Helen Beale at 655-9257 or [email protected].

Gerrit Smith Estate stewards plan annual party

By Dorothy Willsey

Norman K. Dann Ph. D., professor emeritus Morrisville State College, will present “Gerrit Smith’s Beginnings as an Abolitionist” and describe abolition stages through which Smith developed into a radical abolitionist. Sharing his decade of research and writings on Smith, Dann will explain the e"orts of the American Colonization Society, which was founded in 1817, to return freed blacks to Li-beria, a small country on the west coast of Africa. Smith contributed to the ACS in 1817, but by 1834 he no longer supported the ACS.

Dann is a member of the Peterboro Civil War Weekend Committee, a steward for the Gerrit Smith Estate Na-tional Historic Landmark and a member of the Cabinet of Freedom for the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum. Dann has two publications on Peterboro his-tory, with two more in process. “When We Get to Heaven: Runaway Slaves on the Road to Peterboro” and “Practical Dreamer: Gerrit Smith and the Crusade for Social Reform” are published by Log Cabin Books and will be available at the program.

Directly following Dann’s presentation, Sonya Lydford will share the history and culture of Liberia through her own personal experience. Lydford, a steward for the GSENHL and a volunteer for Peterboro Civil War Week-end, along her husband Robert, has adopted four children from Liberia, and are awaiting three more to add to their family of thirteen. Sonya and her family will share sights,

sounds, and tastes of current day Liberia.#e program will end with a birthday cake commemo-

rating the birth of Gerrit Smith on March 6 1797. #e public is encouraged to attend. Admission is $2. Free for stewards and students.

Forum From page 3

they faced a country-wide insurrection. As a result, every ethnic group, every class, rose up as one against the Soviets.”

Such is not the case with the American e"orts in Afghanistan. Even though polls show support for the war is low in America, Bergen thinks progress is possible. He pointed out how the Americans are not universally reviled in the country as the Soviets were and the military challenges are accordingly less daunting.

“Today in Afghanistan we face a rela-tively small, rural Pashtun insurgency so it’s only one ethnic group, it’s con!ned largely to the countryside,” Bergen said.

It’s not a comparable situation to the one the Soviets faced and in fact the Af-ghan people have a favorable view of the Americans and their e"orts. #e Taliban have not taken a single city, and are viewed with disdain by their fellow Afghans.

“If you look at Afghan polling data, the most recent BBC/ABC poll found that 59 percent of Afghans had a favorable view, believed their lives were getting better,” he said.

That may seem counterintuitive to Americans as they hear tales of corruption and malfeasance in the Afghan govern-ment. But Bergen noted that compared to the lives the Afghans lived under the Taliban and the Soviets before them, their optimism is understandable.

School rolls are swelling, especially for girls, who were forbidden to attend school under Taliban rule, and now more than six million children attend school in Afghani-stan. #e Afghan economy is growing, one in four Afghans has a cell phone and infant

mortality continues to fall. However, there is still much wrong with

Afghanistan. Corruption in the country rivals that of Somalia. But Bergen main-tains there is hope there. He shared some encouraging numbers about the country and the levels of violence there, noting that one is more likely to be killed in Washing-ton D.C. than in Kabul.

On a lighter note, Bergen assured the crowd that they were probably safe from the reach of terrorists. “I think that it’s very unlikely that al-Qaeda and its a$liates will attack Cazenovia, and that’s a good thing,” he said.

BARB BARTLETTPeter Bergen addresses attendees about the future of Afganistan during his lecture on Feb. 11.

unanticipated expenses.Cazenovia Village Trustee and Com-

missioner of Parks and Recration, Amy Mann was sad to see the season come to an end, but pleased with record number of participants who enjoyed the rinks this year.

“We have had many happy customers this winter, the downside is that it has de-pleted the allocated funds,” Mann said.

“I thank everyone who came and enjoyed the ice this winter, the vil-lage DPW, the attendant staff for creat-ing a safe and fun environment and the other municipalities who were able to kick in some extra funds at a tough time.”

Before the land on Burton Street became rinks in the early 1950s, local skaters looked to a %ooded Lakeland Park for their fun. Since the ice-skating rinks’ construction, they have been host to thousands of fun-seekers and the birthplace of the Cazenovia Youth Hockey Association.

The facilities include an enclosed hockey rink, complete with an asphalt base and surrounding boards, a cement shelter, as well as a natural rink, %ooded by the Department of Public Works workers; all are overseen by an attendant seven days a week.

When R. James Hubbard gi&ed the parcel of land to the village with ideas of

a public skating-rink in mind, it was up to a few good men who were willing to work hard and volunteer their time. Robert H. Kelly stepped up to the challenge, in which he took great pride in completing.

From Kelly’s (former) home at 8 Burton St., he would o&en visit the rink at midnight in sub-zero temperatures to ensure a fresh sheet of ice would be available to skaters the following day. It was Kelly’s determination and commitment that helped the facility to grow, both as a recreational center for children, and a training ground for future Cazenovia athletes.

In the !rst years of operation, park benches were sprinkled around the rink for skaters and spectators. In 1956 a wooden

frame warming hut, complete with a coal stove, was erected. #e shack was eventu-ally replaced by the cement shelter that inhabits the space between rinks today. Construction of the new structure was commissioned by the Rotary Club and built in 1963.

Two years before, Kelly had started the youth hockey program alongside Roger Scaife and William Scoones in 1961. #eir modest beginnings eventually gave way to three age divisions and eventually the sport’s inclusion as a high school program. Numerous players improved their skill set and worked their way up the ranks, thanks to Kelly. One in particular, Mark Costello, would eventually go on to coach the high school hockey team for a number of years.

Kelly was a well-known member of Cazenovia. His service to the youth hockey program and involvement in various village organizations earned him many commen-dations. Kelly received the Distinguished Service Award from the Cazenovia Jaycees in 1968, as well as the Jenkins Memorial Award from the PTA in 1969.

A&er his passing, the Burton Street fa-cilities were dedicated to Robert H. Kelly in 2004. A humble monument was installed between the cement shelter and the hockey rink. Kelly was laid to rest nearby at Ever-green Cemetery, within the hills overlook-ing the skating rinks he helped establish.

When the rinks were still simply frozen ice slicks buried under snow, Kelly would hire local boys interested in earning .25 cents an hour, to clear o" the space. One of those young men was Bob Stintson, who would grow up to marry one of Kelly’s daughters, Bobbie. #ey now live a few minutes away from where they !rst met on Burton Street, and both still follows Cazenovia Hockey closely.

“I am so just proud, and I know my father and my family would be so proud to see how well the hockey team is doing this year,” Bobbie said. “I’m sure he’s watching them and saying, ‘Go boys!’”

BOB AND BOBBIE STINTSONFour youngsters take to the ice at Lakeland Park in 1949. Bob Kelly had succesfully conviced the $re department to help him !ood the great lawn. Later, he would start !ooding the Burton Street rinks.

BOB AND BOBBIE STINTSONNumerous skaters enjoyed the public rink in 1958. In the background, the original warming hut is visible. The wooden frame building housed a coal stove, a stereo and supervisor Dave Harrington.

following years, Millen reminded lis-teners that New York’s agriculture of the highest-quality in the nation, and enrollment in agricultural classes, as well as participation in FFA, has been steadily increasing in recent years.

A number of current and gradu-ated students took the microphone to support the position of their favorite English teacher, #omas Murlin. A relatively new addition to the district, Murlin was hired three years ago. If 26 cuts were made to the teaching sta", which has been discussed as a possibility, Murlin’s position would be eliminated.

Assistant Superintendent Bill Furlong presented information on increasing costs and planned cost reductions, o"ering an explanation to where funds will be used. Gas prices, salaries, health insurance premiums and increasing retirement system costs for both teachers and employees are all on the rise, and adversely a"ect-ing the school’s !nances.

“#e total increases we’re seeing to our budget are $872,000, which coupled with the reduction of state aid leaves us with a budget de!cit of $2.122 million,” Furlong said.

Different departments of the school district have been evaluated and a few areas have calculated some savings. Supply costs may be reduced by 25 percent, saving $60,000. Con-ference costs could be decreased by

50 percent, saving $30,000. Various changes to the athletic department, such as recycling jerseys and equip-ment can help reduce costs by 10 percent, saving the district $50,000.

While it was apparent that some board members disagreed what should be cut and why, they all agreed that developing the budget soon is a

high-priority. Over the course of the next month, the board will !nalize their plans for reductions. At the March 21 board of education meeting, a list of program cuts will be made available to those who attend. #e following meeting has been moved to April 11, at which copies of the o$cial budget will be available.

Felicity Jones wins national poster contestCazenovia College visual communications student’s poster wins big

Cazenovia College student Felicity Jones was awarded the !rst place position in the “2011 Lend a Hand” national poster contest, with her poster “Being #ri&y is Ni&y.” Jones, who resides in Cazenovia, is a senior in Cazenovia College’s Visual Communications Program.

“I am extremely honored to have won the contest, but,” Jones said, “as a !rm believer in all things handmade, I was even more excited to have my design printed using the letterpress technique.”

#e project, sponsored by “Tending a Di$cult Hope” invited students to create a poster to inspire their gen-eration to make healthy sustainable choices, and to work together for the common good. #e students were to use a speci!c poster from the World War I or World War II era, or any poster from the online “Beans Are Bullets” (war era food posters) exhibition as inspiration for their designs.

Jones said, “I enjoyed the research portion of the project as much as actually designing it. I was very inspired by the color palettes and typography used in posters from the WWII era.”

All the students in the College’s Graphic Design and Social Change class, taught by Laurie Selleck, associate pro-fessor of visual communications, took part in the contest. #eir posters will be part of a traveling group exhibition that will include all the posters submitted to the contest.

Details about the exhibition will be announced at leahgauthier.com/tendingadifficulthope. The winning entries are posted on this site, and letterpress posters may be ordered as well.

“#is contest was a great opportunity for students to put the skills and techniques they learned in class into practice for a good cause, a cause focused on empowering their generation,” Selleck said, “It is exciting to see that Felicity’s work will be part of an e"ort to e"ect positive social change through design. Her bold, inspired poster, laden with cul-tural resonance and developed with careful attention to detail, distinguished her work from a !eld of strong entries.

We in the Visual Communications Program, her professors and classmates, are very proud of her accomplishments and look forward to seeing the whole show.”

Tending a Di$cult Hope is an ongoing art installation project by artist Leah Gauthier at the SoFA Gallery, at the University of Indiana in Bloomington. Six designs from around the country were selected to be letterpress printed in editions of 500 by Kyle Durrie of Power and Light Press, in Portland, Ore., which will be available for purchase.

Each artist will be paid one third of the sales price for each print sold (estimated sales price $30 to $50 per print depending on number of colors). One third will go towards costs (printing, marketing, shipping, handling), and the !nal third will be donated to Tending a Di$cult Hope DIY public programming workshops. One print will be released for sale to the public every two months in 2011.

before #anksgiving until Christmas Eve, participants were posted in the lobbies of Kinney Drugs and Tops Supermarket. #e proceeds raised by Cazenovia students are given to CazCares, the local food pantry and clothing closet, and then distributed back into the community.

Cazenovia High School requires stu-dents to complete 40 hours of commu-nity service during the four years they are enrolled. #ose that participated in this fundraiser went above and beyond requirements, some volunteered for up to four shi&s. In exchange for their service, fundraiser coordinators agreed to log all of the students hours for them, a process usually tedious and time-consuming for the busy kids.

Brodie Kellish and Joey Romagnoli ac-cepted the plaque on behalf of their peers. #e two played an integral role in enlisting volunteers and coordinating shi&s. Both students mentioned the strong sense of satisfaction their time volunteering has brought.

“It’s a fun thing to do on weekends with friends, and it helps out a lot of people,” Kellish said.

“It feels good that we raised money for all the people that need it,” Romagnoli added.

#e Salvation Army approves all pro-grams CazCares uses the money for, and recipients are informed as to which orga-nizations the funds come from. #rough programs like Apples Bread and Carrots, Back-to-School backpacks, and Christmas baskets, CazCares provides residents from surrounding areas with food, clothing and educational assistance. Each month over 150 people receive assistance from their location at 101 Nelson St. in Cazenovia.

Transplants are the Heart of the Garden

Probably the biggest joy in gardening is planting. What could be more fun than planting again, or trans-planting?

Until Dr. Christiaan Barnard moved a human heart from one body to another in 1967, trans-plants almost al-ways meant tak-ing small plants or seedlings and setting them out into the fields and gardens.

If you want transplants, you have to start with seeds. !e idea is to increase the growing season by getting seeds to sprout and grow some true leaves before planting. Also, by growing your own transplants, you have access to thousands of varieties of garden plants rather than just what’s available at stores.

First you will need fresh seeds. If seeds have been stored properly you can hold them over year to year; whether they’re purchased seeds, or seeds you save yourself. Seeds o"en rot in wet damp cold soil so even if you just get an inch or so of growth you may be weeks ahead of seeds directly panted in the garden.

Next you will need soil or a growing me-dium. You can use garden soil but you may be introducing a lot of pests and disease, with no natural predators. It’s better to use a sterile growing medium or potting soil. !e advantage of soil-less mixes is that you don’t get soil borne disease or bugs.

!e mix will only hold the seedlings in place and they will need additional fertil-

izer to grow. You can make your own soil-less seed starting mix, including the famous Cornell formula developed in Ithaca. Mix together four quarts of sphagnum moss, two teaspoons of ground limestone and four teaspoons of granular organic fertil-izer.

Fill your pots or #ats just to within a quarter-inch from the top with the pot-ting mixture. Gently level the surface and water well, even before you plant anything. !is will moisten the mix and settle any air pockets.

Using your $nger, or better yet a pencil, make a hole for each seed. Carefully fol-low seed directions for depth, planting too deeply will result in few plants. Usually seeds are planted just four times deeper than the seed is wide. Some very $ne seeds are actually best simply scattered on the soil surface and pressed in with the palm of your hand to make sure the seed contact with the potting mix.

Keep your planted seeds evenly moist but not soaking wet. A spray bottle that shoots a gentle mist of water is handy. Bet-ter yet, water from the bottom by setting the trays or pots in the sink and slowly $lling with water until the potting mix surface is wet.

To increase humidity, cover the seed-lings with loose plastic or slip the pots into loose $tting plastic bags.

Some seeds actually require light to germinate while other seeds need total darkness. Refer to each seed packet.

Once they germinate, all seed-lings will need light to grow. Even with sunny windows you may want to add arti!cial light so that your seedlings get a good 10 or 12 hours of light per day.

Pots and flats can dry out quickly always check on them twice a day. Turn the growing trays o&en so the seedlings won’t bend towards the light.

So when is the best time to transplant? Usually a&er the seed-lings have their !rst “true” leaves.

Remember that the very !rst two leaves that sprout are not true leaves but simply food storage cells called cotyledons. Once the !rst true leaves come out, begin fertil-izing the plant, once a week, with a liquid organic fertilizer. Use a diluted weak fertilizer solution so you don’t burn the plants’ roots.

Going from a warm house or greenhouse into the bitter out-doors can kill young plants, so you

have to, harden them o". About a week before transplanting your seedlings outdoors, move your seedlings to a shady outdoor area, protected from wind rain and direct sunlight. Bring them back indoors for the night. Increase the amount of time the seedlings spend outdoors every day until a&er a week or two, when they will be hardy enough to permanently plant in the garden.

Water the garden before and a&er transplanting. Avoid trans-planting during the hottest part of the day or in full sun, so the seedlings don’t wilt. Tamp the soil down !rmly around each plant and water every day for the !rst week.

With a little luck and gentle care your seedlings will be ready for the garden in a few weeks. With a nod to Dr. Barnard, transplants are the heart of a good garden.

Caz-based wrestlers win sectional titles for CBAIt’s been nearly 45 years since any

high school wrestler from Cazenovia won a sectional title in wrestling. #e streak has since been shattered by Cazenovia residents, J.T. Romagnoli and Aaron Benedict, both of whom attend Christian Brothers Academy in DeWitt. #e wrestlers won sec-tional titles on Feb.12 at the Utica Auditorium.

Romagnoli, a sophomore, cap-tured the title in the 130-pound divi-sion. Benedict, a junior, won the 140-pound class. Both defeated opponents with over 100 career victories each.

#e athletes began wrestling in the Caz youth program, then coached by their fathers. When they enrolled in CBA, there was no wrestling, but the school agreed to start a program, in combination with Jamesville-Dewitt High School. College All-American Treavor LeBlanc, of Morrisville, coaches the team; which has amassed a season record of 11-5.

#e team quali!ed eight wrestlers for the sectional tournament and had victories over well-established programs including, Cortland, Mor-risville, ESM, F-M, Homer, Marcellus, as well as Cazenovia.

Romagnoli, the number-one

ranked Division I wrestler in Section III at 130 pounds this year, completed the season with a record of 33-5. He won the Jack Fisher Tournament and placed high at the very competitive Herkimer, Haines, and New Tourna-ments. He not only won the Class AA Tournament last week, but he won the Outstanding Wrestler award.

Two years ago, Romagnoli earned All-American honors at the Middle-School National Championships. Benedict earned similar All-Ameri-can honors at the High School Na-tional Championships. Both plan to return to national competition in

April at the National Championships in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Benedict was also the number-one ranked Division I wrestler this year at 140 pounds. His record so far is 33-1, with his sole loss being an injury default. He won the Herkimer, Haines, and New Tournaments, prior to heading to the Class AA Tourna-ment last week, with a !rst period pin in the !nals.

Because of their sectional titles, Romagnoli and Benedict will now compete in the New York State Championships on Feb. 25 and 26, in Albany.

By Phil Blackwell [email protected]

Much of the Cazenovia boys basketball team’s !rst season under head coach Paul Harney was spent learning what it would take to rise up the ladder in the deep, tough OHSL Liberty division.

And those lessons were still getting applied in the last week of the season, starting last Tuesday with a 60-46 defeat to Solvay.

Trying to keep the Bearcats from securing a Class B playo" spots, Cazenovia inched into an 11-10 !rst-quarter lead, only to surrender it before hal&ime as Solvay moved in front to stay. #e Lakers were still within range, 43-37, going to the fourth quarter, but could not catch up, despite a well-balanced attack.

Travis Mimms led with 10 points, while Crozer Connor and Tanner Whiteman each got nine points and Ben Ro-magnoli added eight points. On Solvay’s side, Dan Aiello earned 12 of his 20 points at the free-throw line as Deon Knighton-Kearse added 17 points.

#e Lakers went home Friday night to close out the season against Jordan-Elbridge – and managed to double the Eagles’ output in a 66-33 romp.

J-E did keep in touch for a half, only trailing 33-22 before Cazenovia used a 20-5 sprint through the third quarter to get clear. Tom Toole, in particular, had a big night, earning 16 points as Romagnoli posted 13 points and Whiteman !nished with 10 points.

Caz girls beaten by Jordan-Elbridge, 50-40By Phil Blackwell

[email protected]

At the very last moment, the Cazenovia girls basketball team’s dreams of an un-defeated regular season fell apart – but it might get the last word against that same opponent.

#e Lakers, no. 10 in the state Class B rankings, put its perfect 17-0 mark on the line #ursday night in the regular-season !nale at Jordan-Elbridge, and walked away on the wrong end of a 50-40 defeat to the state no. 20-ranked Eagles.

A lot of factors would help J-E on this night. Perhaps the biggest one was that it was playing at home in front of a loud, jam-packed crowd that included a big stu-dent section and an energetic pep band, and the noise was constant from tip-o" to !nal buzzer.

Also, the Eagles, at 15-2, wanted pay-back for the 52-39 defeat it took to Cazeno-via on Jan. 13, a game that was tight in the fourth quarter until J-E’s star center, Molly Hourigan, went to the bench with an injury, allowing the Lakers to take over.

Hourigan would play the full 32 minutes here – and notched a triple-double, amass-ing 21 points, 12 blocks and 10 rebounds. More importantly, she and the rest of J-E’s defense would throw Cazenovia o" course in the late stages.

At !rst, it looked like the Lakers had weathered its early troubles, erasing a 20-12 !rst-half de!cit to take a 30-26 lead early in the third quarter. Not only was Raeanne Clabeaux tormenting the Eagles for 17 points (she would !nish with 19), but Hourigan had three fouls.

Yet J-E’s 2-3 zone kept on harassing

Cazenovia’s forwards, especially Ashley Stec, who had just one basket all night as Hourigan, aided by Erin McLaughlin, Natalie Andrianos and Kelsey Richardson, made sure Stec never got any room to take open shots.

In a nine-minute span, stretching deep into the fourth quarter, Cazenovia had just one !eld goal, but only trailed 43-40 with 2:30 to play. #en Hourigan made back-to-back baskets, with some blocks in between, and J-E added three more free throws in the !nal minute to lock things up.

Taylor Malmsheimer finished with seven points, while Colleen Dougherty and Ellen Burr both got six points. On

J-E’s side, Kali Davis (nine points) and Andrianos (eight points) gave Hourigan the main help.

Two other road trips within a 24-hour span preceded the battle at J-E. First, the Lakers went to Marcellus last Monday night and had a !rst-rate e"ort in every phase of the game on its way to a 60-26 romp over the Mustangs.

Cazenovia was close to %awless in the !rst half, producing plenty on the o"en-sive side while shutting down Marcellus for long stretches, too. By the break, the Lakers led 33-10, and it never got a serious challenge, even though Stec only managed three points on the night, a season low.

Raeanne Clabeaux, with 18 points, led the way as Ellen Burr pocketed 10 points. Both Maggie Carpenter and Colleen Dougherty made up for Burr’s struggles, earning eight points apiece.

It proved far tougher a night later at Solvay, but thanks to Clabeaux, the Lakers overcame massive o"ensive struggles to beat the Bearcats 47-39, making it 17-0 and clinching the outright OHSL Liberty divi-sion regular-season championship.

Solvay had just seen one of its top play-ers, Abbey Jones, return from an injury that had sidelined her most of the season – and had helped cost the Bearcats a chance to reach the post-season.

With Jones and Tessa Pucello rooted in the middle, both Stec and Burr struggled for everything, even as Cazenovia took the lead in the second quarter and led 22-15 at the half.

All through the second half, Solvay stayed within range, one big run from a real scare. However, the Lakers never allowed that run to happen, answering every thrust with one of its own, though Stec only had seven points and Burr !nished with six points.

It was Clabeaux constantly coming up with the big baskets, working her way to 20 points, nearly half Cazenovia’s total as Taylor Malmsheimer, with seven points, of-fered the help. #e Lakers collectively held Pucello, Solvay’s all-time leading scorer, to 12 points and limited Jones to !ve points.

Cazenovia and J-E might not be done with each other. #ey likely will draw the no. 2 and 3 seeds, respectively, for the Section III Class B playo"s, so if the seeds hold, they would meet a third time in the semi!nal round.

Random Thoughts: Committing the Cardinal sin?By Phil Blackwell

[email protected]

Not even a year ago, a star baseball player had a choice to make. He was due to head into free agency and emerge as one of the game’s highest-paid players. Mas-sive numbers were tossed around. #e Yankee and Red Sox vultures were ready to swoop in.

Yet Joe Mauer, born and raised in Minnesota, with no desire to leave town for any price, took a bit less – and the Twins still paid him $184 million over eight years. Baseball fans of all stripes praised the fact that a guy ac-tually stayed in the same place, choosing happiness over the last possible dollar.

Which brings us to today, and the saga of Albert Pu-jols of the St. Louis Cardinals, by acclaim #e Best Player In Baseball. As such, Pujols, whose !rst 10 seasons rival the best anyone has ever done (his average year is .331, 41 home runs, 123 RBIs), want to be paid like #e Best Player In Baseball.

And now Pujols is headed for free agency, refusing to sign, or even discuss, an extension with the Cardinals as he seeks, perhaps, $300 million over 10 years, a contract that would pay (and pay and pay) him until he’s 41. St. Louis reportedly o"ered eight years and around $200 million, and perhaps even an ownership stake.

No deal, though, and Pujols is in training camp, say-ing, for now, he wants to stay a Cardinal for life. How can you believe him, though?

Just the fact that this saga has reached this point

proves a potent metaphor for Major League Baseball circa 2011. #e fact that even the Cardinals, a success-ful franchise with plenty of revenue and a high payroll (between $100 and $110 million), is balking at Pujols’ contract demands says a lot.

Yes, baseball has more parity than you think, with 15 di"erent franchises having gone to the World Series in the last decade. And yes, revenue sharing has helped, to a small degree, some of the more modest markets keep pace with the big guys.

Still, some troubling concepts remain in place. For one, a franchise, even if it has a smart and capable front o$ce and excellent farm system, needs a lot of things to go right if they don’t have Yankee dollars to waste.

What’s more, even if all of the above happens, there’s a good chance the players that turn into superstars will walk the moment free agency hits because they know all but a couple of teams cannot a"ord to give massive contracts more than once a decade. Over time, that eats at the competitive balance this game so critically needs to give the little guys some long-term hope.

Take the Twins, who isn’t giving any sort of Mauer-like contract to anyone in the near-future and needed to build a new ballpark just to have a chance to get anybody. In Milwaukee, they’ve elected to win now, knowing Prince Fielder is gone a&er 2011. Or take the Cardinals, who appear to have so many advantages (high attendance, dedicated fan base, solid TV revenue), but still don’t want to give everything away to Pujols.

#en again, Pujols could have shut this all up. If he’s happy in St. Louis, as he’s always claimed, and he wants

to stay a Cardinal, then why not work out a deal? #is will hang over the team the entire season, guaranteed, unless Pujols changes his mind.

Maybe it’s not what Tony LaRussa o"ered the other day. He claimed the players’ union would rather see Pujols grab the fattest contract possible, whether he’s happy or not and whether it’s in St. Louis or not, to set the market for future superstars. #at’s a stretch, at best, but a lot of Cardinal fans might be inclined to agree the longer this drags out.

How ironic that this involves the Cardinals. Four decades ago, it was Curt Flood’s refusal to accept a trade from St. Louis to Philadelphia that kicked o" the process that ended with the abolition of the hated Reserve Clause and brought free agency to the major leagues.

Further adding to the irony is the fact that, as the Pujols contract saga played itself out, the most famous Cardinal of all, Stan Musial, was receiving the Presiden-tial Medal of Freedom at the White House.

Granted, Musial played in the Reserve Clause era, and never faced the extreme monetary temptation future generations of players would face. But it’s impossible to imagine him as anything other than no. 6 in a St. Louis uniform.

#is is what Albert Pujols could have. #en again, he could have baseball’s biggest contract in a Cubs or An-gels uniform. #e choice is his, and what Pujols decides will echo all across baseball’s landscape, and might for-ever alter the way fans of one of the game’s cornerstone franchises view the team they love.
