High Hopes for Efficiency at Clinton Arena updates could be on the way in the near future. New benches have been installed in one of the locker rooms, along with new countertops on the concession stands. New, vinyl windows were installed on the building’s front addition, courtesy of the Clinton Rink Association. Throughout the rink area, new banners have been hung, and the outside entrances facing the parking lot were reconstructed. In November the Arena will welcome its new $101,000 Zamboni paid for by the Zamboni Fund and in part by selling off one of their older model to the Washington Capitals practice rink. Looking back in history, the Clinton

n June, Anthony Picente, county executive, announced county funding aimed at mitigating flooding in the area through projects at St. Mary's Brook and the Oriskany Creek. Work was scheduled to begin on both projects this summer, and while the St. Mary's Brook project is on track to begin shortly, the Oriskany Creek project has hit bureaucratic snags and is being put off until next year. After weeks of delays, the $300,000 project is lacking permits necessary under DEC’s Protection of Waters Program, according the Kevin Lewis of the Oneida County Soil and Water. Work will held off until spring 2015 at the earliest, leaving some residents previously affected by the Oriskany Creek’s waters worried about flooding from snow melt early in the season.

SWOCO: What to Do With a Forgotten Wasteland By John Howard
A
top a hill off Route 11 in Knoxboro, New York, 17 miles outside of the Village of Clinton, Leo Carney can be seen walking the highest point of a finely-groomed, 25-acre grassy plot. Every so often a black pipe juts out from below with its exposed end curling back toward the ground. Down the hill, to the south is Augusta and to the west is Munnsville. This is Carney’s land. He doesn’t own it, but he maintains it. If he didn’t, it would probably go by less noticed than it already is. The property is an old landfill by the name of Southwest Oneida County Joint Garbage, or SWOCO for short. Carney, who will tell you he got the job because he lives down the street, mows the land every 3–4 weeks. Depending on the weather conditions, it takes a few days to complete. He is on site anywhere from 20–30 hours per week. He likes the work and the views, but mostly he likes the peaceand quiet. Nothing really bothers him up here, other than an occasional woodchuck, which can wreak havoc on the structures. “Sometime one vent will smell, sometime another one will,” said Carney, smelling the air around one of the vents. “That’s the process working.” SWOCO landfill was opened 1973 as a joint venture between the Towns of Augusta, Marshall, Verona, Sangerfield and Kirkland, as well as the Villages of Oriskany Falls, Waterville and Clinton. Municipalities trucked all their waste to the SWOCO and operational costs were divided in shares based on population. Just 13 years later, the decision WASTELAND, page 9

A
n estimated 311,000 demonstrators gathered in Manhattan on Sunday for the People’s Climate March, coinciding with the United Nations summit meeting on climate change this week. Among that massive number filling the New York City streets was a core local group of concerned citizens led by three Clinton residents. Shirley Knop, Sandy Scofield and Mona Perrotti served as team organizers for the effort while Kathy Collett handled the groups' cell phone network to keep them in contact with one another during the march. Their combined efforts brought residents downstate in pursuit of a common goal: to remind world leaders about the urgent problem of climate change and to demand change.
Together, the women, who are longtime friends and active committee members of the Kirkland Democratic Committee, organized a Utica area bus through Wade Tours to transport people to the city. The bus left from the lot across from the Arena before sunrise that morning and returned back late that evening. “We talked about it as a group on the way home, and everyone felt deeply affected by [the march],” said Perrotti. “I’ve been at other rallies in the 40–50,000 range. This was so many times bigger.” The march itself was divided into six sections, each with a specific area of concern depending on an individual or a group’s background. With this area’s experience with fracking legislation, the Clinton leadership trio, along with some other local members who stayed together throughout the day, marched with CLIMATE, page 7

T
he Clinton varsity soccer field was quiet on Saturday during the boys home game against Poland—in some people’s opinion, too quiet. The venue, which would normally have boomed with warmup music, the national anthem and goal announcements, was replaced with an eerie lull as the result of a dispute between the School’s athletic department and the team. A number of complaints from neighbors, local businesses and even fellow athletic teams forced the decision to cut the sound, according
to the School’s athletic director Doug Fiore. “The day the music died, that was today,” head soccer coach Gil Palladino said on Saturday. “The athletic director said that we couldn’t use the sound system today because we play it too loud. I said, ‘Isn’t there a better solution, like turning it down?’” It was only the boys soccer team affected by the complaints. Moments after Saturday’s game SILENCE, page 10

Easy Come, Easy Go There’s nothing like walking around a giant, 25-acre pile of garbage (see page 1) to remind you of the impact humans have on this planet. As a race, we’ve spent 200,000 years perfecting the art of accumulating stuff and then expertly chucking that stuff into a pile somewhere hopefully out of sight and out of mind. Last week, Apple sold 10 million iPhone 6’s, so I can only assume that 10 million buyers promptly threw their iPhone 5 away. Or, maybe they used my preferred technique: shove it in a drawer and hope it disappears. (Though, I’ll admit that I moved to Android shortly after the start of the post-Steve Jobs era and haven’t looked back.) More impressive than millions of people spending even more millions of dollars on electronics festooned with discarded fruit was the group of 300,000 people who took a whole day out of their lives to march in New York City on Sunday (also see page 1). While I do think the counter argument to climate change is a dying breed, I never quite understood it. Even if you don’t believe in the trend, which is totally your perogative, I always thought it was silly to fight against what always seemed like progress: cleaner air, cleaner water, and fuel sources that we didn’t have to source from overseas, or worse, in the ocean. That was one thing I identified with during Obama’s initial presidential campaign. I liked that someone was at least finally talking about it. But talk is cheap. There is a program started by a foundation known as the Mars One that is trying to send four individuals to the red planet. I heard about this while listening to “This American

Life,” which featured a story by the “Love + Radio” podcast. Because this is 2014, the mission will also be a reality show. For one of the lucky 1,057 finalists, Taylor Rose Nations, the initial fourseat one-way trip was second choice to landing ABC’s “The Bachelor.” “Mars One invites you to join us in this next giant leap for humankind!” a tagline for the mission proclaims on its website. (Sorry, folks. The registration deadline has already come and gone.) Oddly enough, that Mars mission is scheduled to take place in 2023, the same year that the 30-year monitoring period of the SWOCO landfill (see page 1) is scheduled to conclude. Not that the two have anything to do with each other, I just like the coincidence. I really appreciate the Town and the Village's efforts with the Arena (also see page 1) and SWOCO landfill. Here are two situations where our elected officials are looking for ideas that will keep on being solutions 10 years down the line. With limited budgets, where every step will have lasting effects, it’s nice to know that there is at least an attempt at putting a plan in place and that our leaders are not so quick to the trigger, launching us off on our own to find love or fend for ourselves.

Village Hack: Sign Up for a Library Card By Mary Stevenson As a child, a library card meant access to a new realm that wasn’t for babies. It meant you were a big kid now and did not need your parents' help in checking out books to take home for a few days. You had the freedom to pick a book, take it to the counter and hand your card to the librarian. You gained a newfound sense of independence and a host of opportunities were at your feet. All from a simple card with your name on it from your local library. September is Library Card Sign Up month at the Kirkland Town Library. To obtain one, an application must be filled out and submitted to the Library. You will get either a wallet card
or a tag for your keychain. You can access all forms of materials that are available, not just the books libraries are noted for. Libraries and library cards are keeping up with the times and can transport you to a world beyond what we know. History, fantasy, sports, architecture are among the many places a library card can take you for a little while. Your choice, your destination. You can get that feeling of freedom and independence again, like you had as a kid. Who doesn’t want that feeling now and again? Go to your local library today and get your pass to your next adventure.

Letter: Yield for Pedestrians, Or Else! On behalf of all walkers in the Village, I send this letter to the editor. I just narrowly escaped being hit on the way back from church on Sunday with my wife. We were halfway across the crosswalk on College Street at the Elm Street intersection when a car came within a foot of hitting me at roughly 20 mph. The driver did not stop but kept on going after giving me a sheepish look. Time and time again, we've heard stories about drivers failing to yield to pedestrians already in the crosswalks around town. It's one thing not to stop for someone who hasn't entered the crosswalks. It's a very different, and infinitely more dangerous, situation not to yield to a pedestrian who is already in the crosswalk. Before there is a fatality in our community, I beg our drivers (please, please, please) to pay attention to pedestrians once they have set foot in the crosswalks. It's not just the law; it's a matter of life or death. Fortunately, I survived to write this letter. Should we consider a blinking yellow light at this intersection to ensure safe passage across it? It's not my first choice, but I wonder how else to call drivers' attention to the need to yield to pedestrians in this crosswalk. The delayed green light on the corner of West Park Row has unquestionably increased the safety at another previously dangerous intersection. –John C. O'Neal, Elm Street
Correction: Fire Ladder Truck Cost In The Courier’s Sept. 17 feature story “Jack Behrens Starts a New Chapter,” the 2009 purchase of the Clinton Fire Department’s new ladder truck was mentioned. The article stated that the truck cost $250,000; however, this was only the College’s contribution to the purchase. The total cost of the machine was $1 million.

First, I start with the pork making sure to butterfly the loin so that it is a little wider than the size of a sheet of paper. It is important that you have enough surface area so that you can really get a lot of that stuffing in there. Next, I prepare a simple dry rub for the pork. For this I use 3 cups of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoons of allspice, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. (Note: When preparing the loin I like to put down some plastic wrap on the counter first. This makes cleanup a breeze and really allows you enough room to work.) Gently pour olive oil onto both sides of the pork and spread it out. Then, generously apply the dry rub to both sides. Then, start preparing the stuffing. In the interest of saving you some time I would suggest that you buy some cornbread at the grocery store. For the best results cut into cubes and dry out in the oven for an hour. You will need about 5 cups or one pan of cornbread. To begin in a medium-sized pot, brown 1 pound of Jimmy Dean hot sausage. Add one large onion diced, 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, and then cook it until you can see through the onion. Dump this mixture and your cornbread croutons in a mixing bowl and add one pound of melted butter, 1 1/2 cups good quality maple syrup, 2 Granny Smith apples diced, and season to taste with salt and pepper. If you would like, you can add dried cranberries. Now you are ready to stuff the pork loin. Put the mixture in a straight line on the loin and then roll it. You will need to either tie this off with butchers twine or skewer it with wooden picks so that you can then move it. Finally, roast that bad boy off at 350˚F covered with aluminum foil for 45 minutes to an hour. If you have a thermometer at home, the internal temperature should read 165 degrees. If you feel like you still have some cooking energy left in you, a nice pan gravy would accompany this dish very well. Try this dish out. I think you will be very happy with the results!

s the
weather gets colder and fall seems to be settling in, something seems to strike our taste buds: a certain yearning for comfort food—that pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks, a nice hearty pot pie from the Cider Mill, even a seasonal beer from Saranac (I prefer the Pumpkin Ale although the Octoberfest is quite delicious). It seems that as the weather gets colder, we naturally crave a more filling meal with much bolder spices and heavier ingredients. Living in Southern California for a couple of years, I can speak from experience: these urges were not there. I would attribute that to the lack of seasons. But I, for one, love the fall. For me, it ushers in a season filled with new menu items and fabulously flavored dishes that you just cannot truly enjoy in the summer. I would like to share a recipe for a dish that my family has seemed to thoroughly enjoy every time I make it: Maple, Sausage and CornbreadStuffed Pork Loin.

If left unclaimed, the department expects to dispose of them through the Salvation Army. COCVAC’s annual fundraising drive has reached 37% of its goal two weeks into the campaign. The goal this year is $75,000. Fundraising fell short last year but was the most successful effort in the organization’s history, corps Captain Robert Burns said at the time. Clinton’s JV soccer team beat Vernon-Verona-Sherrill and rival New Hartford to remain in first place in the Tri-Valley League with 4-0 league and 5-1 overall records. Reeve Thompson scored three goals with one assist in a 7- rout of VVS. The 3-2 win over New Hartford was hard fought with goals from Thompson and Phil Edraos.
confirmed the possibility that the price of milk may be increased by one cent a quart sometime during the first part of next week. The increase, it is said, would follow the raise in Utica, where the one-cent price increase becomes effective Sunday morning. Citizens of Clinton are offered an opportunity to visit and inspect the recently opened village sewage treatment plant and to have details of the operation explained to them by members of the Village Board of Trustees. Mayor Van Slyke said the plant began operating Friday and is working satisfactorily. Fire caused by an overheated kitchen stove on which water was being heated for washing completely razed a one-family home in Pecksville Monday afternoon. Due to lack of any available supply of water, the efforts of the firemen were confined to keeping the blaze under control. Clinton’s new industry, Common Sense Products, Inc., manufacturers of dog food, is a certainty and will begin operations within a few weeks. Capitalization of the new organization will be 7,500 shares of $1 par common stock.

The Harlem Dairy Products Company is preparing to harvest ice from the pond in the old canal bed south of their plant that was constructed last year. The pond is being deepened and the dirt taken is being used to fill around the plant. The plant of the Clinton Electric Light Company, built some 12 or 15 years ago on the site of the old Clinton Factory on Norton Avenue, and which has gone to wrack and ruin through the combined work of the elements and vandalism, now is being cleared away under the direction of Thomas F. McBride. One of the mills in Utica has received an order of half a million sheets for the French government. A carload “was sent to New York by express within a few hours after the receipt of the order. The sheets are to be used in the hospitals for wounded soldiers.” The Boston Herald says: “Hugh Bradley, the oldest Red Sox first baseman, who tried to live on his reputation for being the first man to lift the ball over the left field fence at Fenway Park, is hitting .343 for Pittsburgh, in the Federal League.”
Clinton Fire Department ignited and supervised the bonfire for the pep rally held Friday evening at the swimming pool grounds. Rocco Martello lit the fire to begin the rally. Permission was obtained from the Water Resources Commission this week to proceed with the development of wells to augment the village water supply system. The village board will meet with the engineer before the end of the month to work out final details before sending this work out to bid. The trimming in front of the junior high school during the past week has given the building a different appearance. The evergreens that once blocked the view of the building are rapidly being trimmed back and the school can now be seen from Chenango Avenue.

Clinton Scene: Clark Mills School History By Richard L. Williams, Town and Village Historian
O
ur neighboring northern hamlet of Clark Mills had an interesting economy and vibrant first 100 years between the 1840s and 1950. That’s when the Clark brothers and then Hind-Harrison Plush Company ran the community. One aspect of this concerns the public schools, which began in the 1850s with one of the common school districts, District No. 3, within the Town of Kirkland. The 1874 county atlas showed a school house on Brown Street, now Main Street. This school slowly expanded until Clark Mills had an independent school for Grades 1–12. The Clark Mills School was on the north side of Main Street, where today’s Clark Mills Firemen’s Field is located. The building at first just had one floor, but a second floor was added in the 1910s. The school district centralized with Clinton in 1931 and then secondary students attended the then-new Clinton 7–12 building Image courtesy of the Clark Mills Historical Society SCENE, page 14

Library Notes Banned Books Week By Sarah Schultz, Youth Services Librarian What do the “Captain Underpants” series by Dav Pilkey, “The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins, and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” by Stephen Chbosky, all have in common? All three are on the American Library Association’s Top Ten List of Challenged Books for 2013. This week, Sept. 21-27, is Banned Books Week, a way for literary organizations “to celebrate the freedom to read.” The Kirkland Town Library is participating in Banned Books Week with a challenging book display of our own. All the books are covered with paper listing the reasons why the book has been challenged or banned. Come in and see if you can guess the titles. If you find one that peaks your interest check it out and exercise your freedom to read a book others thought you shouldn’t. The books range from children’s books to adult books. Every year hundreds of books are challenged or banned, or both, within the U.S. This basically means that some members in a community disagree with content found within a book, and try to stop others from reading it. According to the American Library Association, the main initiators of book bans and challenges are parents, patrons and administrators. Most cases happen within schools, school libraries and public libraries. Common reasons for the challenges and bans include: sexually explicit content, offensive language, unsuitableness for age group, violence, and homosexuality. Have you figured out why “Captain Underpants,” “The Hunger Games,” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” were challenged? The “Captain Underpants” series earned the number one spot as the most challenged books in 2013 because of “offensive language, unsuitableness for age group, and violence.” “The Hunger Games” earned the fifth spot due to its “religious viewpoint, and unsuitableness for age group.” And “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” took the eighth spot due to “drugs/alcohol/ smoking, homosexuality, sexual explicitness, and unsuitableness for age group.” As a parent, you have the right to choose what material is suitable for your child to read or not read. Keep in mind, reading is a way for your child
to learn more about the world they live in. Knowing your child and how they may respond to content found within the books they read is vital in making sure they have a good experience when reading. If your child can handle the content found in a book, use it as an opportunity to talk about real world situations. Instead of discouraging your child from reading books with content that you want to shelter them from, use it as a way to broach the subject. You can read the books together and then discuss with your child how each of you feels about the topic. This is a safe and controlled way to expose your child to real life issues you might want to talk about. Another thing to know is that the different sections within the Library’s children’s collection are not based just on children’s reading abilities. The distinction between J fiction and YA fiction is mostly due to the age of the characters and the content found in the books, not the reading level. Main characters found in J fiction are normally younger and face situations that children can relate to and understand. The main characters in YA fiction are usually in their teens to early 20s. This means that they may face mature situations that your preteen or teenager perhaps isn’t ready for. Banned Books Week is an opportunity for everyone to think about the content found within books and our right to read it. So often we think of reading as something that brings us joy, but it is more involved than that. Every time we read, it changes us. We learn new things, gain a different perspective and sometimes have our ways of thinking challenged. And that’s a great thing. Want to find out more about Banned Books Week?

Clinton Cider Mill Event to Benefit Childhood Stroke Victims By Mary Stevenson
C
hildhood strokes happen. You rarely hear about them—what causes them, the lasting effects, the treatments and therapies. One local family is raising awareness and donations while taking advantage of the fall season. Mimi and John Fehlner, owners of the Clinton Cider Mill, never realized children could have strokes until their granddaughter, Amaia, suffered a perinatal stroke. A perinatal stroke can happen in utero, at birth or during the first month of life. Amaia is paralyzed on the right side of her body. Amaia’s dedicated parents, Andy and Michelle Fehlner, have made sure she has received intensive therapy since she was an infant. Now at six years old, she is much stronger, braver and has surprised everyone with the progress she has made. The Children’s Hemiplegia and Stroke Association (CHASA) has gone a long way in educating her family about her condition and long term expectations. The Fehlners are working to further raise awareness for these children and their families through Fun & Games, an event at the Cidermill to raise funds for CHASA and educate the public on childhood strokes. At the event last year, all monies donated went to CHASA. This year, in addition to CHASA, a portion of the proceeds will go towards a session for Amaia at Camp Helping Hands, a hand and body occupational therapy camp run by nonprofit Intensive Therapeutics. “It was great for her to be able to go there this year and be with children who are like her,” Mimi said, adding that it gives them the opportunity to do the things other children can do. This year’s event, taking place Saturday from 1 - 5 p.m., will include the second annual Donut Dangle. As the name implies, a donut is dangled from a string and the contestant has

to eat it with their hands behind their back. Mr. and Mrs. Johnny and Betty Appleseed will make an appearance and there will be face painting, “tattoos” for the children and author Joan Jackson Kelly will be signing copies of her new book, “Washashore: The Wandering Bear of Cape Cod.” “Last year surpassed our expectations just to bring awareness to childhood stroke,” Mimi said. “We are glad to be able to do this again this year.”
Redistricting Talk to be Held Saturday By Staff
I
n preparation for Election Day on Nov. 4, the local League of Women Voters group is sponsoring a redistricting and Proposition 1 forum at the Radisson Conference Center in Utica. The event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 27, in the Mohawk room. Brooklyn’s Rachael Fauss, public policy director of Citizens United, will give a luncheon talk about the process of redistricting and how it affects who gets elected. Among the proposals up for vote in November is the NYS Constitutional Amendment Proposition 1, which, if approved, aims to change the redistricting process. The state League of Women Voters along with Citizens United supports the proposition, but the local league has not voted on a position. Currently, the legislature determines boundaries after the census every ten years. The cost for the meal and program is $20. Free admission to the public will be available the day of the program after 12:30 p.m. For reservations, contact Trudy Kennedy at 733-6244 or email trewck@roadrunner.com.

embers of the Clinton Youth Hockey organization and their families kicked off the season with a fundraiser event to help support upcoming activities. A car wash and a can and bottle drive was held in the Clinton Arena lot on Saturday starting at 12 p.m. The event started off slow, with cars and volunteers trickling in, but as high school sports games began wrapping up on Clinton athletic fields, the lot flared with activity. Hockey players held signs, flagging down every car that drove by on Kirkland and Norton Avenues—no car, clean or dirty, was overlooked. Other players, along with their siblings and parents, scrubbed down two cars at a time and manned a cube truck accepting can donations. As of Saturday, 104 kids had registered to play in the Mites through Critz Farms Annual

Players can register through December. “There will be a lot of last minute kids coming in,” said Clinton Youth Hockey board member Jackie Bonomo, who helps oversee registration. “We start tomorrow, so everyone’s registering today. My phone keeps buzzing.” The car wash, which accepted donations rather than charging a flat rate, raised $400 for the organization. Event organizers estimate that an additional $250–$350 was raised through the can and bottle drive. Last weekend’s fundraiser is one of many events that take place throughout the year to support youth hockey in Clinton. Funds raised go toward ice rental, tournament fees, banquets and operational costs.

Day Tripper: Route 20 to Cazenovia
THE CLINTON COURIER 6

Illustration by Sarah Burns A view of Cazenovia park By Michael R. Babcock
A
t first glance, Cazenovia is quite similar to Clinton. A quaint, historic village with stores, restaurants, and beautiful homes. A college. A Farmer's Market. But the differences in the Cazenovia area make the 40-minute drive so very worthwhile. From Clinton, taking Route 12B South to Route 20 and proceeding west will bring you right to the heart of the village.. A well-kept secret of this area is Stoney Pond State Forest, located south of Route 20 in Nelson enroute to Cazenovia. With over 1,400 acres of forest, the park offers a variety of outdoors activities include camping, fishing, boating, hiking and crosscountry skiing. The forest is incredibly quiet and peaceful. The 44-acre pond was designed as a wildlife habitat so bring your binoculars. Check the website for details and directions, http://dec.ny.gov/lands/8111.html. The village of Cazenovia is filled with eclectic shops and restaurants on the main street. Indulge your palate with food and drink from more than 15 restaurants of all types. Seven Stone Steps is a casual tavern located below the Lincklaen House in the center of town. The Brae Loch Inn is famous for food, live music, lodging and parties. Or you can dine at the elegant Brewster Inn on the south end of Cazenovia Lake. Aahh, the lake! This alone sets the town apart from others. Cazenovia Lake is four miles long and half a mile wide, with a beautiful park on its shore right next to the village. Boating
access is available on Route 20 west of town. On a summer day, the lake is full of sailboats of various sizes and it's a great lake for fishing. Every Saturday from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m., the Farmer's Market is open on Route 20 in the village, and continues through Nov. 4. Local vendors and artisans share their food and crafts. The newly opened Cazenovia Beverage Trail is another local delight. Owera Vineyards features a tasting room, gourmet snacks, and a picturesque setting with an events center. This is an awesome vineyard with gracious staff, casual atmosphere, and excellent wines. Owera is located north of Cazenovia. There is also Henneberg Brewing Company in the village, and The Harvest Moon Cidery at Critz Farms on Route 13 to enjoy. Find more information at: http://cazenoviabeveragetrail.com/ directions/. Chittenango Falls is a wonderful place for a picnic or a short respite. Located four miles north on Route 13 as you enter Cazenovia, the falls is impressive at nearly 170 feet, the same height as Niagara Falls. Visitors can walk down one side and back up on the other. The footbridge at the bottom is a lovely resting place to catch your breath and take pictures. Check out Chittenango Falls at: http://nysparks. com/parks/130/details.aspx. Route 20 is a gorgeous drive through the rolling hills anytime of year, but autumn is the best. The leaves are peaking, so don't miss your chance to get in another day trip to Cazenovia.
musician with strong local roots has added another milestone to his list of achievements. CCS alumnus Glenn Paulson, a percussionist in "The President's Own" United States Marine Band in Washington, D.C., has been selected as a featured performer in the John Williams gala with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “I got this email and I initially thought that it was a joke,” said Paulson. “It said, ‘John Williams has asked if you will come play a piece of music for this gala celebration.’” Williams had previously conducted the Marine Band back in 2002. Many, including Paulson himself, consider him the greatest living composer. He has scored the music of popular film series like “Harry Potter” and “Star Wars.” The gala will take place Sept. 30 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles and will showcase the music of “Catch Me If You Can” with a suite written from the film’s soundtrack. Paulson will play vibraphone in a featured jazz trio, which will also feature bass guitar and saxophone, both handled by the film score’s original musicians. Master violinist Itzhak Perlman will also perform during the event. In order to earn a spot in the Marine Band, Paulson took an audition and won the job. He was recently promoted to Master Sergeant. Like many young, aspiring musicians, Paulson’s beginnings were humble. His first teacher was Clinton’s previous and notorious High School band director Richard Cristaldi. “I started in first grade on the snare drum,” said Paulson, who currently

resides in Waldorf, Maryland. More significant for Paulson than the honor of being conducted by Williams is the date in which the show will take place. Five years ago to the day of the performance, Paulson was in a serious mountain bike accident in Washington, which initially rendered him unable to process thought or speak. “At the time, I wasn’t sure if I could ever play again,” said Paulson. “When the doctors at Walter Reed tell you you almost died, you take it pretty seriously.” Paulson leaves for Los Angeles on Sept. 29. This will be his first time performing at Disney Hall. He admitted to being a little nervous about the task at hand, but at this point in his career, Paulson knows that nerves are par for the course with any performance. Two of the show’s rehearsals will be recorded to be aired on PBS’s “Great Performances” at a later date.

Faculty Recital Brings Uptempo Sounds showcase the strengths of the featured clarinetist. On Nov. 8, Kolsky will give a full orchestral performance of Nielsen’s concerto with Symphoria at the Crouse-Hinds Concert Theater in Downtown Syracuse. Kolsky is a native of Providence, Rhode Island. Prior to his time in Central New York, he’s held positions with the Louisiana Philharmonic and the Utah Symphony. He has been at the College since 2006. A reception with the artists followed the performance. CLIMATE (continued from page 1)
Allan Kolsky performed a diverse program during a Hamilton College staff recital on Sunday at Wellin Hall. By Staff
A
recital by Hamilton College staffers displayed a pleasant afternoon of woodwind, piano and drum sounds with Allan Kolsky on clarinet at the helm. Kolsky, an adjunct lecturer in clarinet at the College and the principal clarinet of Symphoria in Syracuse, was accompanied by fellow faculty members Sar-Shalom Strong (piano) and Michael Bull (drums).
The performance took place at 3 p.m. on Sunday and took listeners through a series of four movements, spanning from the late 1800s to the late 1900s. A bold statement was made at the start of the show, with a performance of Johannes Brahms’ challenging “Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 120, No. 2,” which sees more ups and down
on scales and volumes than one can keep track of on both hands. With descriptors in the piece’s subtitles like “allegro” and “andante,” it put the finger movement of Kolsky and Strong to the test. The performers handled it well, despite a program note mentioning the songs among critics. A disclaimer of “We’ll give it our best shot,” voided any mistakes in advance, though, none seemed to happen. By far the most surprising piece of the afternoon was also the most modern. As the second piece of the day, Kolsky performed “New York Counterpoint,” a solo piece written from 1985 by Steve Reich, along with a prerecorded track. The song began with abstract chirping, like birds answering each others calls'—Kolsky’s clarinet and the ten pre-recorded clarinets and bass clarinets on the recording. As a melody took over, the product was poppy and vibrant. Kolsky’s warm and bright sound filled the room and blended with the track, dancing in and out of it, at times getting completely lost within the fluttering soundscape. The final two selections were “Fantasy in G Minor” and a concerto for clarinet, both by Carl Nielsen. All pieces are carefully selected to
“We Know Who is Responsible.” This group was tasked with calling out the campaigns and corporations holding back environmental progress. Also among this group were many victims of Hurricane Sandy. Demonstrators marched down Central Park West, from 86th Street to 66th Street. There was a moment of silence, followed immediately by an alarm section with noisemakers, church bells and cheering to symbolize being awakened to the climate change crisis. One aspect mentioned in a lot of news coverage is the variety of people who showed up to march, showing the massive scope of those concerned with this issues—in other words, there was no stereotypical climate change demonstrator. “There were families with strollers. We saw at least one little boy on a scooter,” said Perrotti. “There was a huge range of people in age, people from many different countries, and of all abilities—some people were disabled or assisted with wheelchairs.” A large piece of the effort was in its college-aged demonstrators. In the Utica area’s bus group, there were 27 students, 23 of which were from Hamilton College. Meanwhile, other Hamilton students found their own way to the city. The Sierra Club partially funded the Utica area bus ride, helping keep ticket costs down. As a result, according to organizers, there was probably enough interest that they could have filled two buses. Overwhelmed by the experience and with exhaustion far from their minds during the grueling eight hours on their feet, it was clear to the group’s leaders that the effort and time was well spent. “The whole time we were on the street, we didn’t see one person not in good spirits. There was a really serious feeling of why we were there,” said Perrotti. “It truly was amazing.”

Photos by John Howard Kirkland Parks and Recreation superintendent Mike Orsino looks up at to the new T5 lighting systems in the Clinton Arena. As technology advances, more changes could help cut operational costs through the winter. ARENA (continued from page 1) Arena has alway been on the cutting edge of technology. It were the first rink in the area to feature a Low-E ceiling and the first to switch from incandescent to mercury vapor lighting systems, and then from mercury vapor to a halight system. Today, visitors will notice the brightest overhead lighting yet—a T5 fluorescent light, the result of a recent energy audit on the building. How the Arena cools their ice, however, has hardly changed over time, relying on much of the same technology used when the facility was rebuilt in 1953. Clinton’s floor is cooled using an
older 2-cycle ammonia and calcium chloride system, while newer facilities in the area use Freon, a refrigerant scheduled to be banned from arena use in North America in less than a decade. Problems do come into play for Clinton’s setup as they would with any machine over time and parts of the current system still date back to the 1950s. Things break down, like a $6,500 brine pump that needed to be replaced at the end of last season. New systems are more efficient, both in the space they take up and the energy they pull. Leaks come up from time to time where components meet, but so far nothing catastrophic. Luckily, added Mike Orsino, head of Parks and Recreation, knocking on wood as he
did it, they haven’t any issues with the 11 miles of brine water line on the floor. “I’m also looking into grant money through New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and New York Power Authority to update our chiller,” said Orsino. “You do the whole package at once, rather than replace components.” So far, the arena has applied for one grant, but they were unsuccessful. To replace the system in entirety could cost as much as $500,000, more than double the Arena’s annual budget. Without the aid of a hefty grant, it’s unlikely that the work would get done. The Town is actively pursuing plans to cut costs and increase revenues. Along with upping rental fees for the School and youth programs, which
has met some criticism, there is a new effort to introduce solar energy to offset the cost of keeping the lights on. The effort, led by Orsino and Town Councilman Garry Colarusso, seeks to join forces with Solar Liberty, a Buffalo company, as a way to cut out one of the landmark’s biggest expenses. “You’re always going to pay for fuel, no matter what you do, but we thought maybe there was a way to do something and avoid selling our soul to National Grid,” said Colarusso. “That was kind of the impetus for solar.” During a typical winter month, the arena spends around $7,500–8,000 on energy alone. By investing in solar panels, the Town of Kirkland could sell power back to National Grid at the market value and have that number deducted from its bill. The process is not as easy as setting the panels and flicking an on switch. Rome’s Kennedy Arena went through with a similar project with Solar Liberty and is now in the process of removing and relocating panels from the roof of the rink. Showing some foresight, Kirkland is considering the Town Park in addition to the Arena’s roof as a potential location for the panels. According to Colarusso, the area of the Park being looked at for the solar farm is known as the “South 40,” an open field secluded by a treeline on each side. “[The South 40] is well-maintained, just like the rest of the park but not used,” said Colarusso. “It wouldn’t take away from the ambiance of the Park.” The right decision with power now could free up funds for major equipment repairs down the road. With figure skating and youth hockey kicking off this past weekend, Orsino was confident that the Arena was ready for the season ahead and has the proper plans in place should something come up. Public skating at the Arena begins Oct. 9. Open skates will be Sunday 3-5 p.m. and 5:30-7 p.m., Wednesday 1-2:30 p.m., Thursday 10:15-11:45 a.m. and 1-4:30 p.m., Friday evenings 7:30-10:30 p.m. except nights of High School games.

WASTELAND (continued from page 1) was made to close the facility when concern arose over how the facility was impacting neighboring crops and livestock. Due to regulations set by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the municipalities were on the hook for all upkeep and monitoring costs. In total, that annual cost rounds out to roughly $55,000. In addition to Carney’s salary, SWOCO pays insurance and taxes on the property and hires a contractor for regular tests on landwater wells, gas vents and soil. There is also a manager on staff to oversee the dayto-day operations. Every so often, there is an unexpected expense, like a heavy rain that causes one of the landfill's protective membranes to slide, but mostly it is problem free. Compared with the other retired landfills across the state, it’s one of the best maintained. “I get the reports and I read them. Everything’s been good since I’ve been here,” said Carney. “I live right here. If [the landfill] is in good shape, I know it’s in good shape. It affects my land and my water.” Verona covers one of the largest portions of the bill. The Village of Clinton pays just under $5,300 annually at 9.5 percent. The Town of Kirkland pays closer to $17,000. These values were previously higher, put the SWOCO board was able to reduce the costs by limiting the number of tests needed per year. At a minimum, the landfill will have to be monitored through the year 2023. Meanwhile, the landfill is permanently out of use, with municipalities going elsewhere to get rid of waste. Clinton and Kirkland now use the Oneida County Solid Waste Department. A new effort is being made to offset the ongoing costs to make the property as self-sufficient as possible. Surrounding the landfill is another
200 acres that are also owned by the SWOCO municipalities. With a lot of work, roughly 80 of those acres could be tillable. Several neighboring Mennonite farms have expressed interest in the idea of renting the land, but wells will have to be drilled in order to test the land. The drilling will come with a price tag of nearly $15,000. Ten other acres of the land is wooded, which SWOCO plans to log for timber. Over time, the resulting monies would be used to cover the cost of the well drilling. According to Clinton’s mayor, Jack Lane, who chairs the SWOCO board, all options are currently being looked at in order to bring money in with the property. Anything from a RV park, to a wind farm, to a concert venue have been looked at. “I read years ago, Chicago redid [a landfill]. They made it into a ski lodge,” said Lane. “It was so big they made ski resort out of it.” One of the hardest battles with figuring out what to do SWOCO over the years is garnering enough interest among board members. Up until recently, Lane said, hardly anyone from the landfill’s board would show up for their monthly meetings. “The past two mayors and the past two generations of the [Village] Board have never even been up there,” said Lane. “We had a July and August meeting up there and we served hamburgers and hotdogs just to try and get people to come.” If approved for farmland development, work on the land could start as early as next season. However, it will take several seasons before anything will grow. For now, at least, SWOCO remains a secret, even to some of its closest neighbors, tucked away in the hills of Augusta. What was once a hot controversy is now a fading memory. “Now probably 90 percent of the people of Augusta and probably a high percentage of people in the other towns have never seen it,” said Carney. “They don’t even know where it is.”

SILENCE (continue from page 1) wrapped up, the varsity football team’s warm-ups were underway, along with their accompanying music. The girls soccer team, whose home games take place on the same field as the boys, have used sound in their pregame warmups without issue. According to Fiore, the boys team was turning the volume up above the allowed pre-set volume, and he had asked them on multiple occasions to turn it down. “We tell them what setting to put
it on and then we walk away and they crank it up,” said Fiore. “They have to understand that there are other events going on.” Some nearby residents seem less perturbed. Craig Zurek, whose house sits on McBride Street just behind the scoreboard where the speakers are mounted, could be seen outside in his yard during this weekend’s game. “The music is great in my opinion. That’s what high school’s all about. We need to support our kids,” said Zurek. “You need to enjoy yourself. It adds to the experience of the game.” Palladino maintains that he was not
personally given any advance warnings of the sound issues this season, other than a written notice that it was being shut down. He did mention that the topic had come up during a meeting with the School at the end of the 2013-14 season, when a solution was supposedly arrived upon. “It was agreed that [the Building and Grounds Office] would tilt the speakers down so the sound would be directed into the ground,” said Palladino. “This was never done.” The silence ended up short-lived. By Monday’s home game against Canastota, the boys team was given back their sound system privileges, albeit at a much lower volume than what the team was used to.

Main Street school sat directly across the street from the four-story mill with the center tower. Now Clark Mills children bus to the Clinton campus for all grades Kindergarten–12, and the Clark Mills Fire Department uses the land for the late June Field Days each summer.
Clark Mills was a true mill town with the firm controlling the employment situation and employing 200 to 300 workers at times. The company also had a water system and built houses and roads.

The Clark Mills school district held Grades Kindergarten–12 and had four classrooms on the first floor plus a principal’s office and at times a branch of the Kirkland Town Library. The janitor’s area plus rest rooms for boys and girls were in the basement. A large area in the boys’ room was used to clean erasers for the chalk boards. Upstairs were more classrooms for the upper elementary grades and earlier, prior to centralization, for the high school classes. The rear grounds held the play area and soccer and softball fields. This
stretched north to the old West Shore Railroad and 3rd Rail tracks. The school was replaced with a new elementary school farther west on East South Street and is now the Cambridge Manor apartment complex. This occurred in 1957, but declining enrollments caused a controversial closing of the school after only 17 years in 1974. Thus the old wood school on Main Street was razed after being a center for the hamlet, as well as a housing facility for Clark Mills youngsters of mill workers for more than 80 years. All facilities are gone except the General Store building, now Rich Plan, and Rofin Co. The Clark Mills
Field Hockey Suffers First Two Losses

A
powerful start for the Clinton varsity field hockey team hit a speed bump when they suffered their first two losses of the season in the same week. The Warriors were bested by Mount Markham and Canastota, dropping their record to 2-1 for the league and 3-2 overall. After losing to the No. 1-ranked Mount Markham on the road, Clinton faced Canastota at home on Saturday, losing 1-0. On offense, with the few scoring chances they had, nothing would solidify. The game mostly proved to be an endurance test for the Clinton girls. They ran up and down the field chasing down Canastota players, who were quick and fluid.
“They have a strong team,” said senior Rylee Meelan, Clinton’s key scorer, who was sick with a cold during the game and was spent by the end of it. “They just know where each other are at all times on the field.” Clinton head coach Heather HillageScribner admitted that the team had a series of defensive breakdowns and played a weak first half, which is when Canastota’s Morgan Lyde was able to score from an assist by Kelly Mason. “There were three missed scoring opportunities in the first half,” said Hillage-Scribner. “If we played the whole game like we did the second half we would have been good.” FIELD HOCKEY, page 16

Stakes Heightened in Clinton-Sauquoit Tennis Rivalry By Staff
T
he epic rivalry between the Clinton Warriors and the Sauquoit Valley Indians continues between the girls varsity tennis teams. The two squads, who exchanged victories earlier this season, came to a screeching stalemate during this past weekend’s Center State Conference (CSC) tournament with Westmoreland at a distant second place. Clinton’s Olivia Kodsy fell to Waterville’s Autumn Fallon, who was ultimately bested by Sauquoit's Ella Brutsky, in the semifinals. The match saw its way through three intense sets, but Kodsy was ultimately defeated in the final round 5-7. Shannon Cherpak, Clinton’s second singles competitor, battled her way to the finals round. There she met Tanya Brutsky, whom she has yet to beat this season. Cherpak lost by one point in the final set. While Sauquoit boasts strength in first and second singles, they lack the bench depth of the Warriors. Laura Hopkins took third singles beating Maiah DeGironimo in just two sets. Rebecca Williams and Carly Sinclair, an amended first doubles pair since the start of the season, beat Sauquoit’s Kira Baran and Isabella Arrigo. In second doubles, Clinton’s Sydney Pavlik and Caitlin Cherpak came in second place behind Kia Barber and Olivia Merrill. Final standings for the CSC tournament are as follows: Clinton 27, Sauquoit Valley - 27 Westmoreland - 10, Waterville - 5, Little Falls - 3, Holland Patent - 2, and Canastota - 1. Clinton (11-1) went on to beat Westmoreland 3-2 at home on Monday. They remain in first place in the league over Sauquoit (9-1).

A
s Clinton varsity football wrestles to maintain interest and talent each year, the community has been left to guess about the future of the sport in the District. One upcoming group of players aims to break that dreary streak. This year’s modified football team fielded nearly 30 players. Interest is at a record high in recent years among seventh, eighth and ninth grade, and many of these players have been playing since elementary school. “It’s the best looking team we’ve had since I’ve been here,” said Clinton’s athletic director and previous football coach Doug Fiore. “It’s been 20 years since we’ve had a group like this.” Clinton modified football has been put to the challenge twice this season—first in a scrimmage against

Waterville and then in an exhibition game against Westmoreland. In both instances they won by more than double their opponents’ scores. The group is coached by Frank Williams, of Utica, who’s new to the program this year. He came from Notre Dame, a school known for its longstanding, solid football program. This year, Notre Dame’s varsity team is 3-0. But if anything, it’s the kids who have stepped up with continual dedication to the sport, contrary to a typical trend to lose interest in the gap from Pop Warner to the high school level. “This is a great group,” said Williams. “It was a work in progress at the beginning, but they’re figuring it out real quick.” One player even switched from varsity soccer to play on the team. In a soccer hungry town like Clinton, that alone could signal shifting gears. On top of that, the fact that the team is winning only adds steam. By the time these players reach the varsity level, it could mean big things for the tarnished reputation of Clinton High School football. “We’ve talked to the kids about it,” said Williams. “If anyone’s going to change football in Clinton, it’s going to be these guys.” Parents who stuck with the sport through endless feeds of bad press— from the losing schedules, to the brain injury worries, to the childish shenanigans of its NFL ambassadors— seeing success at the end of the tunnel is especially sweet. “We’re from Seattle, which is a big football town, ” said Kari Olsen, whose son, Brock, is the quarterback for the team. “The cohesiveness of this team as a unit is so exciting to watch. We’re hoping this is a trend, not only just for this group, but for more kids down the road.” “We’re so excited to have a big team this year,” said Andrea Florentino, another parent on the team. “Some of these kids have been playing together since flag football.”

That support base has spread beyond the boundaries of the field. Coming up on the Warriors schedule is a home game on Oct. 9, which will be played in honor of Mimi Brown, an older sister of modified player Brandon Brown, who suffers from epilepsy. Clinton players, along with their opponent, Little Falls, will wear purple to honor Mimi, who will watch videos and look at photos from the game later on in the hospital. “There is just so much support with these kids and with the community,” said Lori. “We are so grateful.” The modified team will play the next two Thursday games away leading up to the purple day match, first against Adirondack and then against Morrisville. They play Little Falls on the Clinton stadium field on Oct. 9, at 4:30 p.m.

Broccoli and Smyers Are Relentless on the Football Field By John Howard

f anything, Clinton varsity football’s 16-20 loss at home against the Little Falls Mounties served as proof that the team wants to win. It also proved there was plenty of work to be done. “[We need to be] working harder in practice and paying attention,” said quarterback Brandon Broccoli following Saturday’s game. “Today was an off day, but we’ve got to come out and practice hard next week." Clinton’s minimal roster continues to haunt them, especially late in the game when players are winded and sore. Bordy Moccaldi and Thomas Labayewski, two of the Warriors’ enforcers, had to walk off the field in the second half. The diminuendo in intensity that overtook the team contrasted with the majority of the game. It was Clinton who seemed to command the pace of gameplay out of the gate. It was the Warriors—one of 11 teams in the Section’s new NFF league this season—who put the first six points on the board. After a missed pass attempt to Dalton Rice, Broccoli found an unguarded Nick Smyers, who ran the ball into the endzone. Clinton was unable to capitalize on the two-point conversion. Broccoli continued to make completions happen, alternating from Smyers to Rice, but it was the
Community support was rampant throughout the event. Fans, most of whom wore maroon, lined the perimeter of the stadium fence and packed the home team’s side of the stands. Two weeks before homecoming, the team is still struggling with the basics, like learning the playbook. But with such small numbers, many players have been forced to learn four to five different positions. It’s a struggle, but with the amount of heart that’s only just starting to shine in some of the team’s leaders, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Clinton football plays next on Saturday at Altmar-ParishWilliamstown. Their current overall record for the year is 1-2. They are currently fourth out of four in their division.

The teams went into the half tied at six points.

Clinton began to make mistakes. Every time the team advanced, a false start or a fumbled snap seemed to set the boys two steps back. Little Falls continued to score and spread the gap to a 20-6 lead. “Mental errors killed us, I think,” said Broccoli. “Honestly, we could’ve beat them but too many penalties, people weren’t lining up on the line of scrimmage—little things like that. It added up.” Broccoli laid it all on the line, dodging defenders in the backfield with speed and footwork, keeping Little Falls linemen out of breath. On defense, he made several plays to avoid a Mounties touchdown. Smyers showed unshakeable persistence, getting tackled by five defenders at a time and laughing as he got up. His persistence alone was a motivator for the team. Clinton pushed for a comeback. A long pass was tipped by Little Falls, but grabbed by Smyers. The Warriors made this try at a two-point conversion after an initial penalty from the defense. But 16 points was as high as fate would allow that day. Clinton lost by four points. Though they were nearly half the size of Little Falls team, the Warriors were visibly upset with the loss, which came down to small details.

CONTINENTALS (continued from page 15) currently leads the all-time series, 145. With 3:20 left in the first quarter, Tufts scored the first touchdown for a 7-0 lead. The Continentals had a touchdown nullified by a holding penalty and then they were stopped on fourth down. Down 16-7 at the half, the Continentals posed the first scoring threat of the third quarter. Hamilton closed shrunk the deficit 16-10 after a Jumbo fake punt attempt failed. In the fourth quarter, Tufts gained a 24-10 margin. With 2:35 left in the fourth, Hamilton went 57 yards in eight plays to cut the gap to 24-17. The Continentals gained 416 yards of offense but were penalized 12 times for 117 yards. Hamilton was 1 of 8 on fourth-down conversions and scored twice on six trips to the red zone. On Saturday, Sept. 27, the Continentals will travel to Middletown, Connecticut to compete against Wesleyan. Volleyball: The Hamilton College volleyball team opened its NESCAC competition with a 3-1 win over visiting Bates on Friday night in Hamilton’s Margaret Bundy Scott Field House. The Continentals, (7-3), dropped the first set 22-25 before bouncing back with three straight wins (2522, 25-22, 25-13). This is the best start for the volleyball team since the 2011 team won seven of its first nine matches. The win was also Hamilton’s fourth straight over Bates. The team’s next NESCAC contest is on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Middlebury in Vermont.

With the respected reputations of Mount Markham and Canastota, which are in a separate division in the league, the losses didn’t come as a blow to the Warriors. If anything, they used the game to reexamine their formation and used the time to perfect their field formations. “This is a very nice down and another great, competitive program,” said Marcia Laidlaw, Canastota’s head coach said. “We always look forward to playing Clinton.” The Warriors field hockey will play Little Falls, another rival whose record matches Clinton’s on Tuesday. At the time The Courier went to press, the game had not yet been decided.
