Reese is the starting sweeper on the team, and part of a two-piece enforcer team with goalie Bailey Bach, who maintain the defensive area in front of the box like their own personal dictatorship. Programmatically, the team has adapted since the start of the season, leaving decisive assets, like leading scorer Rylee Meelan’s high pointearning streak, unadulterated. “People are happy for us now,” said Meelan of the new No. 1 placement. “Before, they didn’t seem to care as much. Having this really strong team has been really good for us.” Tennis Tennis is another sport that has had to fight their way to the top of their field. The girls play in the CSC Division I, and throughout the season have been trading the top spot on and off with Sauquoit. Unlike the rest of the season’s sports, who still have a couple of exhibition matches left in their schedules, tennis wrapped up their season early this weekend. With a win against Waterville, whom they bested a 4-1 finish, Clinton secured the No. 1 spot over Sauquoit with a 12-1 division record. A first place finish was previously

or the first time in recent history, each girls varsity fall program has earned a No. 1 spot in their divisions of the Center State Conference. Key wins helped shift girls tennis, soccer, field hockey and cross country above their competition as of the beginning of this week. Field Hockey Coming off a two-game losing streak against Mount Markham and Canastota, it was a home field hockey game against the Little Falls Mounties that began to tip the scale. After a 1-0 halftime lead, Clinton finished ahead of the Mounties in overtime, the final
score 2-1. The Warriors field hockey team, who plays in the Center State Conference’s East Division, followed the win with another strong showing against Sauquoit on Saturday and VVS on Monday, both of whom they beat by multiple points. At the time of publication, field hockey was 3-1 with division games and 6-3 overall. Mount Markham matches the Warriors in their division record, but fell short with an overall record of 4-2-1. Clinton and Mount Markham teams will square off on Wednesday, Oct. 7,
on the Warriors home turf. Field hockey seemed destined for greatness at the start of the season, with an enthusiastic gust of energy overtaking the program in the form of the late head coach Jean Vicks’ spirit. A new scoreboard on the teams field was named in her honor over the summer and the girls have complemented it with a winning season. “Since I’ve been on varsity, this is the best year for the team,” said Taylor Reese, who is one of four seniors on the team. “We’re closer as a team— we’re like a family. We’ve been able to pull together.”
46 Peaks And Counting
High School Earns High Marks in AP and Regents Testing By Mary Stevenson
C
linton High School AP and Regents results were presented to the School Board by Principal Matt Lee at the September regular Board meeting last week. Where most schools throughout the state use a target ratio of 90 percent of the student body passing to 40 percent at the mastery level, Lee explained, Clinton often surpassed that ambition. Over 90 percent of students reached the passing level in ELA, while almost 60 percent attained a mastery level. Global History was just under 90 percent and over 50 percent, respectively. Integrated Algebra was about 90 percent passing with about 30 percent mastery, while Geometry had results of near 100 percent passing and almost 40 percent mastery. Even as enrollment has fell since 2012, the number of students testing at the AP scholar level (a grade of three or higher on four or more REGENTS, page 7

Schedule of Events: Homecoming Weekend By Staff
A
s the leaves begin to change color overhead and the air develops its seasonal crisp, Clinton Central School’s Homecoming Weekend is upon us. A two-day schedule has been announced in order to commemorate the new year and welcome students back to campus. Beginning at 6:15 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, a parade will take place through the Village. Initially, the parade was scheduled to begin on West Park Row, but do to conflicts with restaurant dinner hours and traffic concerns, it was rerouted. The parade will last 15 minutes and will now begin in front of the middle school on Chenango Avenue, proceeding down then turning left on Kirkland Avenue, and then finally concluding on Norton Avenue, where the annual bonfire is scheduled to take place. Saturday’s events will begin with a brick garden dedication ceremony on the campus grounds at 12:30 p.m. The 30-minute dedication will be presented by the Clinton Central School Foundation. The main event will be a Clinton varsity football game. The 1-0 Warriors will host the No. 1 Lafayette on the stadium field. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. A High School dance will wrap up the festivities from 7–10 p.m.

It was a real focus for the last few years. [Then] it was kind of anticlimactic, like, ‘Now what?’” Most people in the Central New York region are familiar with the

Before the Town can apply for the grant, it must put together a list of homeowners wishing to sell off their properties that were adversely affected by recent flooding.

Patina I can remember when I was little, waking up during the week to watch “Saved By the Bell” with my sisters. The show starred a smooth-talking, big-cellphone-having Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Zack Morris, Tiffani Thiessen as Kelly Kapowski, the cheerleader, Mario Lopez as A.C. Slater, the jock, and Dustin Diamond as Screech. There were other high school stereotypes, but I won’t get into them here. Ironically, we would spend an hour every day before school ingesting this iconic, ‘90s after school special series, now 25 years old (I know, right?), on a semi-religious basis. Recently, I saw a video on YouTube of modern teens reviewing the show, many of them had never seen it before. The segment was called “Teens React to Saved by the Bell,” a spin-off of the internet-popular “Kids React” series. For the most part, the young viewers mock “Saved By the Bell.” (Again, I know, right?) They make fun of the music, the acting, and the fashion, all while wearing clothing choices that probably would have fit in on an episode of the sitcom. The video got me thinking—first, “Man, I’m getting old,” and second, “Man, these kids don’t know what they’re missing.” Never will they know the joys of watching the gang figure out how to replace an Elvis Presley porcelain statue before Screech’s mom gets home, or Zach trying to hypnotize the whole female population of the school into falling for him with subliminal messaging. Trends, like the seasons, come in cycles. They come, they fade, they go, and then they come back again. I think you can measure something’s value based on its ability to survive. Things that end up lasting through multiple generations do so for a reason. They may take on new meaning over time, or get scuffed or altered— in the antique world, they call this patina—but
they’re always there. The lure of the Adirondack Mountains will continue to attract generations to come. Whether there are 8,000 of them or 80,000, the Forty-Sixers (see page 1) will always exist, trying to conquer them. New stars rise to the top (see “Meelan, Gleasman Reach New Heights For Fall Sports” on page 16), but the tradition of sport and sportsmanship will remain. Wisely so, the Clinton boys varsity soccer program is working hard to foster the values they’ve honed over the years with its new Drejza Vu contest (see page 16). Objects can be repurposed to create artwork (see page 6), but the goal of getting people to stop and look will always be there. Meanwhile, artists who were involved in the community in the 1960s are still relevant today (see page 6). And of course, a 104-year birthday (see page 5)—unless science knows something that I don’t about the future—will always be impressive. Some say good things get better with time. Really, though, they stay the same, we just appreciate them more for having stuck around in the first place—put on a vinyl copy of the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” and it will probably sound the same as it did in 1967, assuming you preserved it. Maybe those same kids who questioned the relevance of “Saved By the Bell” will understand it in 10 more years. Or, maybe they’re right to dismiss it. But for me, it was good while it lasted.

If you've ever found yourself at the meat counter in the grocery store and aren't quite sure what to get, take a moment to glance around and see if you can spot a meat reference chart hanging near by. In the Clinton Hannaford there is one close to the meat counter hanging near the rest room entrance. The poster details the different cuts of meat and how best to cook them. So whether you want to try something new or want to make sure you've been cooking your
favorite cut correctly all along, take a peek at the chart before you put in your order. If you still have questions, don't be afraid to ask the clerk or butcher, they can help decide what's best for the amount of people you're serving, your budget and what you're cooking, whether it's a pot roast, stew or steak dinner with all the fixings. If you like something a little more digital, of course there is always the American Meat Science Association app for Android devices that carries much of the same information.

Letter: SWOCO Follow-Up Editor’s note: This letter references an article in the Sept. 24 edition of The Courier with the title “SWOCO: What to Do With a Forgotten Wasteland.” The Courier’s account of SWOCO landfill last week brought back many memories. I was a Village trustee and mayor between 1976 and 1997, and had many discussions about it with other Clinton officials and those from other SWOCO members. The state wished to close all landfills back in the 1960s, and we had many here in Kirkland. I recall landfills on Kellogg Street, Grant Road and Skyline Drive, which were privately run or owned by the Town. It was a big day as a kid in the 1940s to load up an old trailer with our junk and drive with my father to Grant Road, just west of St. Mary’s Cemetery. There, we’d toss out whatever we had and always noticed what others had thrown out, too. A rat or two could sometimes be seen. I don’t remember if this dump was town-owned or not. We also had garbage pickup in the Village by private haulers back then, just as we do now. Many of them had their own dumps in the town and nearby, but the days of private dumps were numbered. The dumps allegedly caused some damage to the earth and neighboring properties with leachate and smells. At one Clinton Village Board meeting, neighbors of SWOCO landfill came. They had been making the rounds to the other municipalities’ boards, too. Their message was that their well water was being severely harmed by the runoff of the leachate in Augusta. One of our trustees then was Lou Koser, who lived on Chestnut Street and worked for New York Telephone. Lou was very astute and knowledgeable about various topics. He simply asked if any of the neighbors had their well water tested. None of the five to six neighbors admitted to testing their water, yet all insisted that the SWOCO landfill was harming their water. Despite the lack of evidence, the state insisted that the landfill be closed. An expensive process began and continues today. This is another example of a state mandate with minimal state funding. I might close by correcting Mayor Lane, as I did tour the landfill once or twice, but I applaud his efforts and those of the current SWOCO board to decrease the expenses for the member municipalities. This has been a financial struggle for local boards for 41 years. Was SWOCO necessary? Was the harsh state mandate fair? Should alternate disposal procedures have been used instead? These questions still linger in my mind without a clear answer some 40 years later. –Richard L. Williams, Mulberry Street
Correction: Varsity Soccer In the “A New Hope For Football in Clinton” story featured in the Sept. 24 edition of The Courier, a fact about a player’s background was incorrect, causing some readers concern that it changed the overall direction of the story. The soccer player who switched sports to play on the modified football team was previously playing JV soccer, not varsity. He had tried out for the varsity team, but was cut from the roster during this season’s tryouts. According to the family, he is enjoying football now and will likely continue the sport through the remainder of his high school career.

Fitness: Perseverance Makes Perfect By Josh Lewis

all
understand that eating healthy, sleeping plenty and following a structured fitness routine is essential to overall health and functional longevity. That’s no secret. But what if we stopped comparing ourselves to others and stopped being so hard on ourselves in regards to our abilities? What if we stopped trying to achieve that perfect image (which we all know doesn’t exist)? What if we adopted the mindset that we are perfect just the way we are? Instead of following the advice of random websites and your buddies, design a checklist that you would consider sufficient to achieving and maintaining proper health. Then, grade yourself on a daily basis in regards to your overall effort defined by your own written rules. The secret to success, whether it is health-, business- or life-related, is perseverance. Life is hard, and it’s easy to run from the difficulty of a challenge. Those who choose to run into the fire will succeed long term. Consider viewing the next 12 months as the year in which you hold yourself accountable. Grade yourself for 365 days. Take notes on what went great and what went not so great. Takes notes on what you learned and observed based on changes in your daily routine. When your day, week or month gets tough, refuse to drop your new healthy habits and do not resort to what feels comfortable and cozy, because this article will stick in your head every time you do. Listen to that voice in your head that tells you to stay the course. Josh Lewis is an active fitness and outdoor enthusiast. He and his wife Alicia are the owners of Garage Gym, LLC. He is also the cofounder of Fit Kids Fit Future, a health and physical education school-based curriculum, and professional development company designed to inspire students to take responsibility for their own health.

Past Issues 25 Years Ago Oct. 4, 1989 The School Board and workers approved a three-year contract providing noninstructional employees with 7.5 percent annual increases. The agreement is retroactive to July 1, when the previous two-year contract expired. A television set was the origin of the house fire Sept. 30 that took the life of six-year-old Heidi Prosser. The house was located on the corner of Peck Road and Route 12B. Three Kirkland residences and two Clinton businesses were damaged last week by pellets or BB-type projectiles fired from a passing vehicle, police reported. Kirkland Police Chief Dan English said his department just received a complaint from a third residence that was struck last week. Lyric soprano Lauralyn Kolb, accompanied by pianist Richard Harvey, will give a recital this Friday at Hamilton College, featuring a wide variety of solo music. 50 Years Ago Oct. 1, 1964 Ben Woit has been signed to coach the Clinton Comets of the Eastern Hockey League for the 1964–65 season, according to Wren A. Blair, general manager for the club. Woit will be starting his fourth year with the Comets, for whom he also plays defense. The Kirkland Town Library trustees honored Emily Smythe at a luncheon at the Alexander Hamilton Inn on Saturday. Smythe resigned from the board after having served 38 years. Clinton residents used 181 pints of blood furnished free of charge last year, Arthur Brandon of the American Red Cross reported to the Clinton branch meeting this week. The blood used by 40 local citizens represents a savings of over $8,000, if they had to buy it. Republican candidates for local, county and state offices will appear Friday at a card party sponsored by the Republican Committee of the Town of Kirkland. It is requested that people bring their own cards to play the game of their choice. 75 Years Ago Oct. 5, 1939 A radio debate on the neutrality question will be more of interest to Clinton residents next Friday. Dr. John M. Moore, professor of ethics and religion at Hamilton College will uphold President Roosevelt’s proposal
to lift the arms embargo, as embodied in the Pittman Bill, while George M. Stockdale will speak for the retention of the embargo. A dark cloud looms on the horizon of the New Hartford-Clinton football game Saturday afternoon in the form of ineligibility. The bombshell exploded when two students, both firststringers, were declared ineligible, and the substitutions for these players are only fair. Many questions have been raised about the milk price increase in Clinton. An inquiry reveals that although Clinton milk dealers say the price must jump to 13 cents a quart, prices in Deansboro increased only 10 cents and in Waterville to 12 cents. A Clinton dealer supplies the milk in Deansboro for three cents less than here. The Mothers Club of Clinton Grammar School will hold a meeting with the new school physician, Dr. Daniel Rogers, to express concern that their children have caught colds while in school. Cooperation between the School and parents may accomplish a great deal towards correcting this situation, it is thought. 100 Years Ago Oct. 7, 1914 Local authorities have taken action to stop the nuisance caused by motorcycles being ridden through the Village with their mufflers open and making an unseemly racket. One fellow was hauled up before Justice Easingwood the other night and fined $2.50. Automobile speeding is also to be stopped by Village authorities. The Village trustees have decided to renew the contract with Charles A. Borst for electric current, which has been fulfilled in a very satisfactory manner. It will be renewed on practically the same terms as it is a fair contract for both parties. In the lobby of the post office is a poster upon which is printed in five languages the proclamation of President Wilson urging the citizens to maintain neutrality. The address is printed in English, German, Italian, Polish and French. The five-passenger Cadillac car owned by Postmaster Owen J. Burns, which was stolen on Saturday night from in front of the Yates Hotel in Syracuse, has been recovered and returned to its owner. It was abandoned on the road below Watkins and discovered on Sunday.
Clinton Scene: Clinton Fire Department - 148 Years Old By Richard L. Williams Village and Town Historian
S
ince 1866 Clinton has had organized fire protection, starting with the Excelsior Fire Company No. 1 and “Old Tub,” its first hand-drawn engine. In 1873, the Village leased from prominent Clinton judge, Hamilton College treasurer, and entrepreneur Othniel S. Williams (also the builder of the Alexander Hamilton Inn in the late 1820’s) a small wooden building on North Park Row where Lumbard Hall stands today. A few years later Williams leased a brick building on North Park Row for the fire rigs. The department stayed on North Park Row until it moved to the rear of the Onyan-Allen Block on Williams Street in 1895. The Village rented first floor space for the fire apparatus and upper floors for social and meeting rooms and Village offices. Rent there was $177.75 in 1897 and had risen to $360 per year by 1919.

THE CLINTON COURIER 4
Library Notes Detective Work By Anne Debraggio, Director, Kirkland Town Library
A
subgenre of fiction, police procedurals attract many readers. Books that fall into this category give a realistic view of police work, concentrating on the methods used in a police investigation. In many police procedurals, attention is focused on one or two members of the team, usually the commander of the unit or the lead detective. Here are just a few of the detectives (and their authors) you can find on the shelves at the library: • Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch (Michael Connelly, author) Harry grew up in Los Angeles and was orphaned at 11 after his mother was murdered. After two tours in Vietnam, he returned to Los Angeles, rising through the ranks to become a homicide detective. The website, http://thrillingdetective.com, describes Harry as “more than just a cop—he's a man with a mission, a mission to, in his own words, "to speak for the dead.” You definitely want to read this series chronologically. Start with “The Black Echo.” • Steve Carella (Ed McBain, author) Steve plays a significant, if not a starring role, in most of the 87th precinct series by McBain. Carella is described as “dogged and persistent; intelligent, but no genius; usually able to piece together a case.” At the conclusion of the first novel, Carella marries Theodora "Teddy" Franklin and over the course of the series raises a family. The series, beginning with “Cop Hater” published in 1956, is considered to be a classic of this subgenre. • Eve Dallas (J.D. Robb, author) Eve is a lieutenant with the New York City Police and Security Department in the mid 21st century. The preceding decades saw a period of urban warfare that caused tremendous damage to cities and human populations across the world. Eve is a “fiercely dedicated cop who prefers to do things on her own.” Currently, there are 40 books in the “In Death” series featuring Dallas and her husband Roarke. • Lucas Davenport (John Sandford, author) Davenport was a detective with the Minneapolis Police Department before being forced to resign. He then became a chief investigator for the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Known for his skill with computers, he started and sold a software company, making him independently wealthy. Described as “unorthodox”, “manipulative” and a “loner.” Look for him in the “Prey” series.
•
Joe Leaphorn (Tony Hillerman, author) Lieutenant Leaphorn is one of two officers of the Navajo Tribal Police featured in a number of Hillerman's books. The other officer is Jim Chee. Though Hillerman never claimed to have insider knowledge of the tribes in his books, many readers have “gained insight into the cultural milieu of the Indian peoples of the Southwest, particularly the Navajo.” You may also want to meet Lincoln Rhyme (Jeff Deaver, author), Walt Logmire (Craig Johnson, author) and Rizzoli and Isles ( Tess Gerritsen, author). Or John Rebus (Ian Rankin, author), Harry Hole (Jo Nesbo, author) and George Bennett (Val McDermid, author). Let us know if we can suggest one for you. Moving from fiction, here are several programs available to our community through the efforts of local law enforcement officers: 1. The Yellow Dot program: The NYS Sheriffs’ Association’s Yellow Dot is a free program designed to help during that first “golden hour” after a crash or other emergency. A Yellow Dot is placed on a window of your vehicle or on your front door, alerting first responders to look either in your car’s glove box or in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator for vital medical and contact information. 2. Project Lifesaver Project Lifesaver is a national, electronic tracking program used to assist in locating those who wander from home and become lost. There is no startup cost to enroll in the program, but a $10 monthly fee is charged to cover a replacement battery and follow-up with an officer to ensure that information is current and the equipment is working. Financial assistance is available. Contact Officer Fred Lomanto, Oneida County Sheriff ’s Office, 765-2220. 3. Free child safety seat checks are available by contacting the Kirkland Police Department at 853-2924. During the safety seat inspection, an officer will check each child seat to see if it is properly installed and if it is outdated or recalled and in need of replacement. When necessary, defective seats will be replaced, free of charge, through the Child Safety Seat Grant, provided by the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee. Our local seat tech is Shawn Occhipinti, by appointment at the KPD. Anyone who has questions can call the police station at 8532924 or email officer Occhipinti at officerocchipinti@kirklandpolice.com.

Villas Resident Turns 104
THE CLINTON COURIER 5
Others came with something in common. Christina Massoud, of New Hartford, wanted to come last year, but was unable to make it. One of her twin boys, Nicholas, also suffered a stroke as an infant. Nicholas was six months old when Massoud found out he had a stroke in utero. “Being a twin, he wasn’t like his brother in meeting milestones,” she said. The biggest thing for her was his thumb. “He kept his thumb tucked inside his hand and it had no tone to it.”
Intense therapies, subsequent medical issues and surgeries have kept the Massoud family working around the clock for Nicholas. “We didn’t know there were any other families around here going through this until we saw it (the fundraiser) in the paper,” she said. “We couldn’t make it last year and we are so glad we came this year.” Mimi’s son, Ben Fehlner, was very pleased with the turnout. “It’s a good day for the event, with a lot of kids and CIDER MILL, page 7
Fall Fest Brings an Early Autumn Glow to the Green

A
local community member celebrated a milestone that few people around the world, let alone in the Central New York region, will ever live to see. Anne Femia, a resident at the Villas of Sherman Brook in Clinton, turned 104 last week. The cafe at the Villas was packed with a standing-room only congregation for an afternoon celebration on Friday, Sept. 26. At the center of the crowd was Femia, the guest of honor, surrounded by loved ones, balloons, presents and cake. Adult beverages were served while a gospel duo performed old time hits and welcomed the audience to sing along. The ambiance harkened back to a celebration four years ago, when Femia turned 100, at the then open Grimaldi’s in Utica, where more than 90 people attended. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Femia at this year’s party. “There are so many people, it’s much-appreciated.” Anyone who knows Femia knows that she isn’t one to sit still. Every day of her time at the Villas, she has made it a point to walk the perimeter of the
campus. During a Mother-Daughter Walk and Stroll-er-athon held on the site in May, she outlasted many of her fellow residents on the course. Some credit her longevity to staying active, even into her later years. Others said it was the Baileys and coffee she would occasionally enjoy that has kept her alert. Along with friends from outside of the Villas, Femia was joined at the party by her daughter, Mary Chiffy, her sister, Fran Arcuri, and her nieces, Maria Beck and Phillis Leahy. “She has always taken care of the rest of us,” said Leahy, “and she never once complained about anything.” Along with Chiffy, Femia has two children, Judy Totino and Rocco Femia, both of whom live outside the area. When asked if she had any advice for the younger crowd, Femia laughed shyly. “Oh, I don’t know,” she said. At the table, one of her friends chimed in: “Keep on walking. Keep on walking and keep on keeping on. That’s what she’d say.”
Clinton Cider Mill Draws Crowd, Raises Awareness for Childhood Strokes Written and Photographed by Mary Stevenson
B
lue skies and a warm fall breeze provided the perfect backdrop to the Clinton Cider Mill’s fundraiser this weekend. Many turned out to support owners, Mimi and John Fehlner’s event to raise awareness of childhood strokes. Rosalee Dillon, 8, and Sophie Boucek, 9, enjoyed the face painting. The classmates were there with Rosalee’s mom, Hannah, who works part time
at the Mill. “The face painting was my favorite part,” Rosalee said. Boucek liked the donut dangle. “The last part of my donut fell, but I caught it in my hands,” Boucek said. “We came here to support Mimi and her family,” Hannah said. “It’s a wonderful reason to get out and enjoy the day,” she added. Her son, James, 7, also took part in the donut dangle. “That was my favorite part,” he said.

esidents couldn’t have had better fall weather on Saturday if they had ordered it from a catalog. Timed perfectly with the chance encounter with Mother Nature was Hamilton College’s 13th Annual Fall Fest. Local families and College students gathered on the Green to enjoy soup, cookies, coffee and cider to kick-start the colorful season ahead. Food was provided by Bon Appétit and cider was from the Clinton Cider Mill. Seventy-five College students participated in the event, with stations run by sororities and awareness groups. Children enjoyed an arts
station provided by Gamma Xi and face painting provided Alpha Theta Chi. “Our family comes here every year,” said Katherine Terrell, who lives in Utica and teaches English on the Hill. “The weather is great, you can’t beat it.” The Gazebo housed musical groups starting at noon, including four College a cappella groups, Doug Flanagan and Tumbleweed Highway, who continued to play for a small crowd that lingered well past 4 p.m. when the event was scheduled to end. “Fall Fest is important to Hamilton College, because it serves as a bonding event between the people of Clinton and the students of Hamilton,” said Alex Hollister, head of the Social Traditions Committee of Hamilton College’s Student Assembly, who are responsible for putting on the event. “I think overall, the event puts aside pre-existing conceptions … and allows everyone to come together for a nice fall afternoon.” The event is typically held in early November, which caused a bit of a time crunch for Student Assembly to organize the logistics. But, based on the sunshine and smiles on the Green, no one who attended really seemed to mind the schedule change.

First Directors Show a Success
THE CLINTON COURIER 6
Q&A: Mixed Media Artist Mary Chamberlain
A great turnout for the First Directors Show reception as part of the Gallery Exhibition Schedule at the Kirkland Art Center last week. John von Bergen and Ken Kahn were on hand to greet patrons and discuss their works. Written and Photographed by Mary Stevenson
I
t was an impressive turnout for the Kirkland Art Center’s First Directors Show last week, welcoming two former directors as part of this year’s gallery exhibition schedule. John von Bergen was director of the KAC from 1968-1971, and is still an active member of the KAC Exhibition Committee. He continues to show his sculptures and drawings in and around the region. Ken Kahn was the director of the Center from 1971-1973, and continues to paint, teach, lecture and write. John Gardner took over as the new director this year. Carrie Matt, copresident of the KAC board, was very pleased with the turnout for the event. “This is a great turnout for John and Ken,” she said. “It’s very exciting for them and the KAC.” The show is an evening of firsts, Matt said. “John and Ken were the first directors, and for the new director, John Gardner, [he] is hosting his first opening,” she added. After graduating from Hamilton College in 1963, von Bergen was
persuaded to return to the area for the opportunity to lead the center. As the grant expired, von Bergen recommended his former classmate and roommate, Khan who was in New York City at the time, to take the reins. For both, returning to the KAC was like a family reunion. “It’s great to see so many old faces and friends,” von Bergen said. Although von Bergen still resides in Clinton, Kahn traveled from Connecticut to attend the opening. He was a founding director for the Bridgeport Arts and Cultural Council and continues his dedication to the enjoyment of the arts in numerous communities. Looking around the Center, Kahn was impressed. “They’ve put a lot of TLC into [the building]. It looks beautiful and it’s good to be back.” The First Director’s Show will run until Oct. 31. The gallery is open Monday Friday from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and by appointment.

Photo courtsey of Mary Chamberlain Paper pulp on toilet paper roll slices with deconstructed cardboard and cheesecloth. By Mary Stevenson
A
rtist Mary Chamberlain looks at trash a bit differently than others. “My art is about using common materials in uncommon ways,” she said of using materials that are thrown away on a regular basis. “The story is recast by throwing away the garbage of the past and moving forward into a new and beautiful incarnation. What was thrown away becomes valuable in its new form.” The Courier and Chamberlain
exchanged emails to further discuss her current project, show and visions for the future. Courier: What type of education and training do you have in the arts? Chamberlain: I attended Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) many years ago as a Commercial Design major, but did not complete my degree. Most of my learning has been self taught. I have taken a few classes at MWPAI but in the recent past have learned to trust my creative self to guide me. Courier: How old were you when you started creating works? Chamberlain: I was always creating and drawing as a child, and using watercolors as a teenager. I experimented with mixed media in my middle years and using acrylic paints as an adult. Courier: How did using recycled materials come about? Chamberlain: A thought is always in my head that asks “how could I use this differently?” That’s what led to pizza boxes as canvases, Styrofoam meat trays as mosaic pieces, junk mail folded or twisted into figures. The original recycling was big newspaper sheets primed on both sides used for big splashes of paint. That helped break through fears around painting, making a mistake, and wasting materials. It opened the door to abstract design and color as the focus of my work and helped me break free of the limits of traditional painting, such as landscapes and portraits. My art speaks of rebirth and new beginnings. What was thrown away, falls away. Beauty, light and life take its place. My art is about surface texture created with simple materials. My art is about using common materials in uncommon ways. CHAMBERLAIN, page 7
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014
CHAMBERLAIN (continued from page 6) Courier: What projects are you currently working on? Chamberlain: The Artful Lodger show led to the creation of 37 pieces of recycled art work. I have had several pieces of my recycled art featured in national publications, such as Somerset Studio and Greenscape magazine. I’ll be submitting several of the pieces from the Artful Lodger show for consideration by my magazine publishers. I would like to teach some workshops to show people my techniques and how easy it can be to create works of art with common materials. Ultimately, I would like to publish a book or books of my creative ideas. Courier: Where do your inspirations and ideas come from? Chamberlain: It seems like they come from everywhere. It might be something I read or see or something someone tells me. Keeping an idea notebook helps to keep the ideas in one place and come back to them. I do have recurrent themes in my work (the dancing figure, fish, moons). They evolve and change with the materials I’m using. I encourage people to notice what symbols and themes speak to them and to use them as a starting point for creating their own art. Courier: Have you shown at the Artful Lodger before or other local galleries? Chamberlain: I had a show of more traditional paintings at the Artful Lodger about five years ago. They were landscapes with an abstract feel. I also had a show at the Red Room Gallery at The Stanley Theater in that same time frame. Courier: What is your connection to the Clinton area? Chamberlain: I loved Clinton from the first moment I drove through town. That was in 1980. I made an intention to live in Clinton one day and my friend and I shared a house just off the green in the late '80s. Those are some of our favorite memories. Courier: Is there anything else you would like to add? Chamberlain: I have a website ( http://marychamberlainfineart.com) and a blog (http://marytchamberlain. blogspot.com). Unfortunately both my website and blog take a back seat to the actual creating of art, but I do update and post at times. The Artful Lodger Gallery will host Mary Chamberlain’s “Thrown Away: Finding the Beauty in Discarded Materials,” through Dec. 13. A reception will be held Sunday, Oct. 19 from 3-5 p.m.

THE CLINTON COURIER 7
Their newest album, “Composing America,” from label Bridge Records, features interpretations of composers including William Bolcom, John Adams and Paul Moravec. While they are classically trained, members Deborah Buck (violin), Basia Danilow (violin), Kathryn Lockwood (viola) and Caroline Stinson (cello) have worked hard throughout their careers to open their music up to audiences less accustomed to classical music. “Like anything, the more you know about music, the more you might appreciate it on a richer, more informed level,” one member said during a previous interview with online music magazine Tokafi, “but it’s not a prerequisite to enjoying a beautiful piece.” According to a press release from the College’s Performing Arts department, on tap for the evening are selections Mendelssohn’s Four Pieces, Op. 81; Haydn’s String Quartet, Op. 20, No. 2; Copland’s Two Pieces for String Quartet; and Aaron Jay Kernis’s Sarabande Double. The Lark String Quartet will perform on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 7:30 p.m. in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center, as part of Hamilton College Performing Arts’ fall series. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens, and $5 for students. Tickets and information are available at the box office 859-4331 or online at http://hamiltonpa.org.
enough about them.” Other than raising money, Mimi, whose granddaughter suffered a stroke in utero, wants to bring awareness to childhood strokes as many people are not familiar with them. “We also meet people who are going through the same situations too,” she added. “We all want to feel as though we are not alone.”

REGENTS (continued from page 1) exam), remained steady, meaning a greater ratio of students are meeting that goal. The Board of Regents defines college and career readiness by scoring at least 80 percent on the math regents exam score and at least 75 percent on the ELA exam. On average, the Class of 2014 was at 83 percent for the ELA and 63 percent for math. The Class of 2015 had 84 percent and 53 percent, respectively. Lee outlined a plan to increase proficiency by three percent a year, a lofty goal that he has already communicated with his staff. Much like the student athletic records posted on the High School’s hallways, the School will soon begin displaying certain academic achievement stats in the hopes of motivating the students even further. The Class of 2014 had 74 out of 99 students take the SATs. Of those, 41 students, or 55 percent, met the benchmarks in math, ELA and for the SAT. Lee also reminded the Board that the Class had highest SAT scores for the region. During the meeting, Lee also reminded the Board of five CCSD teachers who had been recognized with excellence awards in 2013–14 school, as well as individual student academic and athletic achievements. Five CCSD teachers were: Darcey Cross, Jenna Wratten, Kristin Hall, Nancy Zumpano, and Amie Johnson. A full view of the presentation is available at http://ccs.edu. Standardized test results for 2014 from Middle and Elementary Schools are expected to be officially presented at upcoming Board of Education meetings.

Fitness and Art Collide at Anatomy in Motion Written and Photographed by John Howard
T
he German-born fitness form of Pilates isn’t necessarily the first thing that comes to mind while viewing the Southeast Asian-inspired geometric artform of mandala. A match like that can only happen by chance. This Sunday, Anatomy in Motion celebrated its eighth anniversary of doing business in Clinton. To celebrate, owner Melissa Lamendola came together with local artist Gail Haile to create an event that served as customer appreciation event and a gallery opening for a new show, “Sacred in the Ordinary.” Anatomy in Motion, located at 7 Kirkland Ave., is a Pilates and wellness studio tucked away in a cozy nook behind NBT Bank in Clinton. The business has been getting more attention over the years throughout the region, and many of Lamendola’s customers have become regulars. That is how she met Haile. The artist has been a client of Anatomy in Motion for four years, the same amount of time she has been creating mandalas. Haile had suffered a back injury, which Lamendola had helped her recover from with private sessions. “This space is just amazing,” Haile said during Sunday’s event. “I was literally lying on the floor one day, doing what she was telling me to do, and I went, ‘Hey, would you ever have an exhibit here?’” Within Clinton’s art scene, Haile’s mandalas are hard to miss. Dotting local establishments like Artisans’ Corner and Across the Row Bistro, they are large, bold circles that peer back at the viewer like pupils. In terms of numbers, the mandalas are the largest body of work in Haile’s collection. At one point, she was
producing as many as one a day. To create them, she duplicates and merges images in patterns of six, eight, 12 or 16 around a circle’s origin point. She discovered the form from viewing other fellow artists drawing mandalas and naturally wanted to explore how to accomplish the effect through photography. Haile describes the form as “meditative,” with a lot of parallels with the fitness method of Pilates and the therapeutic space at Anatomy in Motion. “They have to do with patterns and details, which is what [Lamendola] is very good at seeing in someone’s body—the patterns in how you’re moving,” said Haile. Haile’s show also features four prints from her Water series. It will be on display until Dec. 31 and Lamendola hopes to use the exhibit for similar events. Already, Lamendola is planning for Anatomy in Motion’s second show in January. “My clients will be doing all the shows for now,” said Lamendola. “I have a lot of clients who are artists, so I’m sticking with them first.” The space at Anatomy in Motion is bright like a gallery, so it made perfect sense to display work there. With a lot of the exercises in Lamendola’s sessions happening on the ground looking up, the idea came to pin poster prints of Haile’s work on the ceiling, offering something more engaging for clients to gaze at. Lamendola has a background in muscles and anatomy. She’s been teaching Pilates for 15 years. A native of New Jersey, Lamendola spent time in the Boston area learning Pilates techniques before moving to Upstate New York. She is certified in the Stott Pilates

Like Haile, who credits her current level of mobility to Lamendola’s intervention, many of her clients at Sunday’s packed celebration were quick to praise her work, saying their time at Anatomy in Motion was well worth the investment. “Melissa has kept me vertical,” said Mary Mathews, who was able to
reverse some severe back pain in the four years she has been coming to Anatomy in Motion. “She was able to do things for me that physical therapy couldn’t do. She’s very gifted. We’re really lucky to have her.” Others come to Anatomy in Motion simply for the exercise. Heidi von Bergen has been a client for eight years. Before that, she lived in cities up and down the East Coast, going to Pilates studios in each one. In her opinion, Lamendola is delivering a different level of care. “She understands the body and she has the vocabulary to explain what body part you need to be thinking about,” said von Bergen. “No one compares to Melissa. You can tell based on how you feel afterward.” ANATOMY, page 9

“April Skies,” by Gail Haile Between her private and group sessions, of which she holds about 12 per week, Lamendola has hundreds of clients. Rather than offering medical jargon or anatomical simplifications for why people keep coming back to Anatomy in Motion, Lamendola said everyone’s goal is the same. “People come in here to feel better,” she said. Her challenge is finding a way to get each unique person to that point. “Sacred in the Ordinary,” which features 16 of Haile’s mandalas, is on display at Anatomy in Motion until the end of the year. Viewings can be scheduled by contacting the artist directly. Additionally, she will be holding private artist talks on Oct. 9 and 23 at 7 p.m. and on Dec. 7 at 3 p.m. Contact Haile at gail@ hailefinephotography.com for more information. All prints are available for purchase. Twenty percent of all sales will be donated to the Country Pantry.
re you looking for ways to get the word out about your business? Is your marketing budget already exhausted for this year? There is a way to register your business for free so that anyone can see the products and services you offer. It’s called the NYS Business Registry and it just launched earlier this year.

The Business Registry is a directory for New York State entities to locate businesses who offer the products or services they are looking for. Registration is free and open to any small business. It was designed to function as a bid list, or listing of small businesses, that state agencies could contact when they have a need for a specific product or service. There are also occasions when a need will not be put out for bid and the business’ contact person will be called directly. What are the benefits of registering your business? The Registry is used by New York State agencies, authorities, public benefit corporations, prime contractors looking for subcontractors, nonprofits, municipalities, libraries, schools, other small businesses, and even individuals. The system can be searched by a specific business name, type of business, keyword, county, and other ways. Registering your business allows anyone seeking your product or

A final property list for Kirkland needs to be assembled before the Town can initiate paperwork to officially apply for the grant, which in and of itself is a long process. The program is 100 percent federally-funded, a previous concern of the Town’s, but does promise to take time to implement, should Kirkland qualify. “Reasonably speaking, if things went on time, you can be looking to closing on properties in the spring,” Sines said at the meeting, speaking of the best case scenario. “This is a long process.” Homeowners were also reminded that all awarded funds are subject to FEMA’s duplication of benefits policy. With the tax base at stake, the Town has final authority over how many properties it can afford to give up. Once a home is demolished, the property can no longer be developed. According to Sines, the program is 100 percent voluntary and applying entities can choose to drop out at any point along the way. Those residents who wish to participate can contact their town council member or the Town Supervisor’s Office about being included on at-risk property list.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014
FORTY-SIX (continued from page 1) Forty-Sixers club—you only reach it by climbing all of the high peaks, or peaks over 4,000 feet, found in the Adirondack region. The challenge dates back to the 1920s when efforts were made to form clear pathways for hiking enthusiasts. Since then, more than 8,000 hikers have accomplished the feat. Aside from some worn out hiking shoes and maybe a sunburned face, it’s hard to pick a Forty-Sixer out of a crowd. But if you get a few in a room together, it’s obvious. Everyone is talking about their experience, sharing stories from the trail and relaying lore. On the trail, no one’s late for work, or in a hurry to get from one place or another. When it comes down to it there are only two things that matter, point A and point B, and that puts everyone on an even playing field. “Everyone’s friendly,” said Dylan Gifford, another Clinton Forty-
Sixer who, along with his 11-year-old daughter Wiley, finished the challenge one year ahead of the Daweses. In 2013, Wiley tied with one other hiker to become the youngest hiker to reach Forty-Sixer status that year. “I think that’s the culture that you find, a lot of people talk about how many they’ve done,” he said. “You run into people on the trail and you have quick talks just to take a break.” Unlike certain challenges where participants can get obsessed, losing site of the experience in favor of an end point, the Daweses and the Giffords both recapped their FortySixer journeys as purely enjoyable experiences. And both continue to hike after finishing the high peak list. The experience of climbing all 46 high peaks comes with a veteran status. You come to learn the terrain, how to hike in the dark and drink from streams, and what to do to navigate the private grounds near the Ausable Club. You also learn how to avoid rookie mistakes like hiking too early in the season, or too late (though,

there is a separate winter Forty-Six challenge), or during black fly season. “You really have to do your homework to avoid disaster,” said Pat. “We’re always amazed at the amount of people who don’t know where they’re going.” Sometimes just finding where to even enter the trail can prove to be the biggest challenge. Word of mouth between fellow hikers often fills in the gaps left by maps and trail markers. Each will offer a unique selection of favorites and least favorites, but everyone cringes at the thought of Allen Mountain, a 4,347-foot beast, with mossy trails, a vertical section and a trailless peak. “It’s a long trek in and it’s a rugged climb,” said Jerry. “I’m remember looking up and saying, ‘My god… how are we still that far from the top?’” Pat added: “At first, we were going to end on Allen, you know, the big finish. “Then I said, ‘No, let’s get it over with.’” For a family, though, there is no quality time quite like hiking a trail where even the nearest highway is far beyond sight and sound. Both Wiley and Dylan agree that,
alone on a trail, there is plenty of bonding that happens. When you’re not looking at scenery, there’s plenty of winded chit-chat that happens. “Mostly,” said Wiley, “about stupid stuff.” The Giffords have started the process of climbing the 46 peaks all over again, this time with Wiley’s younger brother Kass, who hopes to earn his way into the club soon. Wiley has also set her sites on the Northeast 111 club, a New Englandbased challenge that now include 115 high peaks. Mostly, though, she looks forward to continuing to get outdoors. “I like the fact that you set goals for yourself, and that you get a good exercise,” Wiley said. With the vastness that unfolds for those who explore the Adirondack Park region, the question quickly becomes not “What to do after you reach all 46 high peaks?” but instead, “What to do next?” That is where the Dawes family is right now. “I would like to do some of the other trails up there that go to ponds and lakes,” said Jerry, with a chuckle, “the ones that don’t necessarily have a mountain attached to them.”

taken out to complete the financing. Tireless efforts by the volunteers using their own sweat and muscle saw their dream come true of their own firehouse. Clintonian Arthur L. Easingwood was the architect with Fred Goering and Harry A. Wilkinson superintending the construction and masonry aspects of the job respectively. Robert Nichols who was a member during the construction recalled in 1974 that he used his truck to bring building supplies from the NY Ontario & Western Railroad on Kirkland Avenue to the site. Volunteers unloaded the bricks and tiles at night using lanterns in the spring and summer of 1921. Afterwards, the tired crew would retire to the bar at the Park Hotel (South Park Row landmark lost to fire in January 1961 and now the Village parking lot) to whet their whistles. On Oct. 19, 1920, the new firehouse was open for inspection and a parade. Businesses closed, and school children were dismissed to participate in a 2 p.m. parade, 3 p.m. fancy drill and speeches, and a 8 p.m. concert by the Clinton Band. From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. dancing was held at the Scollard Opera House for 75 cents admission. It was a big day in Clinton! Today, firehouse No. 1 holds engine
SCENE (continued from page 3) families and a prominent farmer who had retired to the Village in 1911. At his death in 1918 he left money for Lumbard Memorial Town Hall and also $6,000 to the fire department for a fire station. Now the CFD had to organize as a corporation to receive the bequest, and the CFD, Inc. was chartered by the State in 1919 to get the Lumbard funds and build firehouse No. 1 on North Park Row where it remains today. CFD, Inc. bought the brick building on North Park Row from William H. Ford for $5,000; it was then occupied by James Clark’s hardware store and Dawes Brothers Meat Market. Previously Peter and Augustus Fake ran a dry goods store there in the mid1800’s. This structure had been built in the early 1830’s by Amaziah Stebbins, an early Clinton family member. The firemen needed more funds to build so they held a week-long fair in the Scollard Opera House (over the Clinton Shoe Store) along with a parade and a speech by State Assemblyman Louis Martin of Clinton. The fair included entertainment each night and merchandise for sale. One group which performed was the popular hook and ladder quartet. An additional $5,000 was raised, and a $6,000 mortgage at 6 percent was
2, engine 3, rescue 2, and tanker 1 plus the meeting rooms on the second floor and the grill room in the basement where the members socialize after the regular monthly business meetings. As more fire rigs were acquired and a tanker was added to the roster in 1968, the North Park Row firehouse could not house all the trucks and engines. Hence, in 1967 the CFD, Inc, bought a few acres of land for $12,000 on Franklin Avenue adjacent and west of Sunset Hill Cemetery and built firehouse No. 2. Following the spirit and precedent set in 1921, many hours of volunteer labor went in to the new four-stall station. This cost about $40,000. Firehouse No. 2 expanded in 1987 to accommodate the then-new 110’ aerial ladder from L.T.I.Inc. At the same time, a fire museum was added to the west side of the firehouse, and today has a nice collection of local fire history, uniforms, artifacts, and pictures, along with a 1934 Buffalo engine and 1876 Button hand pumper. The annual fund drive proceeds each fall go to firehouse maintenance and improvement. This year’s fund drive letter arrived in fire district homes last week.

Obituary: Jonathan Vaughan, 70
Jonathan Vaughan, age 70, passed away on Sunday, September 14, 2014, in Boston, Massachusetts from complications arising from cancer. Jonathan was born in New Haven, Connecticut, the son of the late Dr. Victor C. Vaughan and Deborah Cloud Vaughan. Jon and his wife Virginia (Beejie) moved to Clinton in 1971, where Jon began his career as a professor of Psychology at Hamilton College. Jon loved teaching and interacting with his students, both in the classroom and in the research lab, and took great pride in their accomplishments. Many of his students went on to professional careers in the sciences and elsewhere and he enjoyed following their careers. He maintained an ongoing relationship with The New England Center for Children, a school for autistic children, and many of his students did internships there and went on to work in that field. Jon was an active researcher in psychology, publishing many papers, often with student coauthors. During the last year of his life Jon and his long-time friend David Rosenbaum completed work on a textbook on computer programming for behavioral scientists. Jon also served as editor for professional journals, notably the Journal of Experimental Psychology, and was the recipient of multiple grants and fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health. Jon loved his family, playing the cello, taking photographs, telling bad jokes, teaching and being what his sons lovingly referred to as a “dork.”
He was the kind of man who never wanted to retire from his students, brought a cello with him almost everywhere, and had a "debugging axe" for when his computer gave him trouble. Ultimately, though, he wanted nothing more than to be with family, and we were lucky to be able to spend good time with him before he died. He will be dearly, dearly missed. Jon is survived by his wife Virginia (Beejie) Vaughan and his dearly loved children Joseph and Alexander Vaughan, their wives Aisling Dugan and Kristina Keating, and grandchildren Vivian and Oliver Vaughan. He loved his mother Deborah Cloud Vaughan, sisters Sarah Sayre
and Joanna Vaughan, brother-in-law Phil Sayre, nieces and nephews Toby Sayre, Amanda Graham, Hannah Sayre Kozaczek, and Martin Kozaczek, and his uncle Laurence Cloud and wife Kitty Cloud. He cherished his stepmother, aunts, and many cousins, as well as his good friends and colleagues both near and far. He loved you all. A memorial service will be held in the Hamilton College chapel on Sunday, October 5, at 4:00 p.m., with a reception following. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Hamilton College designated in honor of Jonathan Vaughan.

UNDEFEATED (continued from page 1)
Varsity Football Battles For First League Win By Staff
D
espite falling behind in the first half, the Clinton varsity football team managed to pull off a win during an away game against Altmar-ParishWilliamstown Rebels on Saturday. The game served as the Warriors first NFF West league game. Their current overall record is 2-2 for the year. The Warriors went into the half down 26-18, but a third quarter safety and a fourth quarter rush from quarterback Brandon Broccoli put them up 28-26 at the final horn. They
held APW scoreless throughout the second half to secure the win. While Clinton had no trouble driving the ball downfield against the Rebels defense, they missed at least three key opportunities to put points on the board within 10 yards of the endzone. Clinton had a total of 377 passing yards and ran for 158 yards. It was strategy that overcame FOOTBALL, page 16
The Continentals Report By Staff
Jenna Devine dodges a Central Valley player during a home game. Clinton went on to win 7-0. unfathomable for the squad, according to head coach Mike Townsend, but a large recruitment at the start of the season helped give the Warriors an edge. “Having 20 girls on the squad, I’ve been able to give everyone a chance to play, while also still thinking about winning,” said Townsend. Like the field hockey program, Townsend had to do some strategy shifting in his competition lineup in order to beat well-rounded teams in the division like Westmoreland. First and second singles players Olivia Kodsy and Shannon Cherpak, as well as doubles starters Laura Hopkins and Rebecca Williams, have been strong all year. Clinton has advanced to Sectionals, where they’ll play as a unit, as well as in individual matches. In individual singles, Kodsy, Cherpak and Carly Sinclair have qualified. In individual doubles, they will be joined by Hopkins and Williams and Caitlin Cherpak and Sydney Pavlik. Soccer Ever since joining the CSC from the Tri-Valley League, Clinton girls varsity soccer have dominated their division. This week, the girls suffered their first loss of the season, falling to Sauquoit 2-1, which came as a major blow to what was previously a stampede of colossal wins. Prior to the loss, Clinton had only had two goals scored against them all season. They had previously gone on a six-game shutout streak, winning by margins like 11-0 and 9-0. Because Sauquoit is not in their division, the girls were able to hold their place at No. 1 ahead of Holland Patent. Their Division I record is 4-1, with a 8-1 record overall. This week, they were ranked 15th in Class B schools in the state. For a team that graduated 12 seniors last season, including its star Hannah Shankman,
the feat is impressive. Oddly enough, their roster is actually small for the program with four varsity rookies. On offense, young talent and speed from forwards Darby D’Angelo, sophomore, and Jenna Devine, freshman led the attack, putting constant pressure on their opponents—head coach Beth Baker likens D’Angelo to the team’s quarterback, where Devine is their wide receiver. Meanwhile, the keen foot of Emma Short and fierce play of Hannah McHarris, both seniors, both pose threats. On defense, senior captain Jenna Maxam is always alert. She guards the box from the sweeper position, snapping at any ball with a shred of hope of becoming an opportunity for the other team. With their league reputation well intact, the girls are looking ahead to upcoming challenges, which they won’t face until the postseason where they have already secured their place in Sectionals. “These games are all dress rehearsals for [Sectionals],” said Baker. “We’re always thinking about that.” Cross Country The hidden gem of the fall season is easily the girls cross country team, who sits comfortably atop the CSC Division I. Their closest competition is Little Falls at a distant second place. Cross country has a solid group of athletes, lead by senior Morgan Roy, who consistently finishes in the top five. Behind Roy is a small but solid group of girls who have been able to earn points and win important meets. Angelo Gaetano and Sam Catterson have been using the non-league, lowpressure matches as opportunities to improve leading up to the end of the season and a series of invitationals coming up. “Everyone’s getting better and we’re using a ton of different kids,” said Catterson. “We’re in a good position to win the league.”

Field Hockey The field hockey team broke its four-game winning streak when it lost 3-1 against fellow NESCAC Wesleyan in Middletown, Connecticut. The Continentals’ record, as a result, fell to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in conference play. Wesleyan scored three first-half goals, outshooting Hamilton 12-4. In the second period, Eva Rosencrans, ’17—the NESCAC’s goal leader of the season with 12—scored a goal for the team. Victoria Trentini, ’15, made five saves in goal for Hamilton. The women will compete against NESCAC rival Amherst on Sat., Oct. 4, in Amherst, Massachusetts. Soccer The Hamilton College women’s soccer team (5-2, 2-2 NESCAC) gained a 2-1 win against Wesleyan away

Then, on Sun., Sept. 28, the women’s soccer team won its 12th straight nonconference game against visiting SUNY Canton. The final score was 7-0. On Sat., Oct. 4, the women will travel to Massachusetts to play against NESCAC rival Amherst. The Hamilton College men’s soccer team (4-2-1, 1-2-1 NESCAC) lost away against NESCAC Wesleyan in a 2-1 double-overtime decision on Sat., Sept. 17. The Cardinals won the game as the result of a penalty kick in the final minute of play. Wesleyan outshot Hamilton 2813, including a 6-4 advantage during overtime. Hamilton’s Harris Pollack, ’17, made two of his career-high 11 saves following regulation. The Continentals will continue their NESCAC competition at nationally ranked No. 10 Amherst on Sat., Oct. 4. Football The Hamilton College football team lost 43-21 to Wesleyan at Andrus Field in Middletown, Connecticut, on Sat., Sept. 27. The Continentals (0-2) fought hard in the first half, which finished 21-14, until Wesleyan (2-0) gained 16 straight points in the second half. Quarterback Chase Rosenberg, ‘17, threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Donadio, ‘15, with 2:38 left in the first half. The Cardinals recorded a safety on the Continentals’ opening possession of the third quarter, leading Wesleyan to score touchdowns on each of their next two drives. On the Continentals second drive of the half Rosenberg capped an eight-play, 73-yard drive with a 35yard scoring pass to Nick Caso ‘16. Caso was the game’s leading receiver, matching a personal high with seven catches for 90 yards. Zach Altneu, ’18, followed Caso’s touchdown—the first of his college career—with the extra point. This Sat., Oct. 4, the Continentals will have their first home game, hosting Trinity.

ust past the halfway point of the fall varsity sports season, Clinton’s field hockey and boys soccer teams have already posted recordbreaking results. Rylee Meelan and Gavin Gleasman have risen to the top of their respective scoreboards, earning new highs for the School’s record books. Meelan knocked in four goals during Saturday’s home match
against Sauquoit, bringing her total goal count for the year up to 17 and besting a 16-year-old record for the team. Carolyn Steele previously held the record at 16 goals for a season. “It wasn’t just my goal, it was the team’s goal,” said Meelan. “We just really wanted someone to break that record. Clinton went on to beat Sauquoit 5-1. Four goals in a single game isn’t exactly out of the ordinary for Meelan.
During an early season game against Oneida, the senior and fourth year varsity veteran scored five out of the six total points. That feat broke another overall record of goals per game, previously set at 4, which Meelan herself tied earlier this year. Meelan credits her accomplishments to work she has put in during the pre-season and off season. She plays on a Syracuse travel team and had previously traveled down to Disney in Florida for training. On the soccer field, Gleasman is living up to his reputation as an offensive heavyhitter. His speed and footwork has kept him ahead of defenders all season. So far this fall, he has been able to bring his career tally up to 51 goals. Gleasman is no stranger to the record boards. Last year, as a junior, he earned the highest overall goalsper-season record with 27, beating a previous record of 25 tied by Ricky Beaton and Dave Bigler in 2006 and 2002, respectively. This season, Gleasman is climbing the ranks to the overall career goal record. He currently tied for second place on a podium that had not been breached since the early 1990s. His record sits with Dan Pylman (51, 19791981) and falls short of Kekoye Sagnia (55, 1990-1992).

Cam Engle, a ball boy for the boys varsity team, kicks a ball in a skill challenge during the third annual Drejza Vu contest. By Staff The spirit of summer seemed to reemerge as fourth, fifth and sixth-grade boys soccer players put their skills to the test under warm sunshine. Twelve ball boys, along with their selected varsity companions, competed in the third annual Drejza Vu III, an event dreamed up by head coach Gil Palladino to honor its team on the sidelines. “It’s a great event, we love doing

this every year now,” said captain Jake Landry, a former ball boy himself who was paired with ball boy Daniel Frank. “We have the best ball boys in New York State and this is our way of thanking them.” The event is named after Garrett and Jack Drejza, two brothers who were able to effectively be on the same team despite a wide gap in age— Garrett was a senior and Jack was a ball boy for the team. In 2012, the Drejza parents provided refreshments for the first annual event and since then it has been a local soccer tradition. Pairs competed in six events for a chance at an overall win. Events included skill-oriented challenges, like who could kick it closest to the center field mark from the goal box and juggling contests, to more creative tasks, like soccer golf. Varsity players who were not paired with a ball boy manned the various competition stations, recording scores which were kept secret from the competitors until the end of the event. “I didn’t get picked this year, but it’s fun,” said sophomore Matthew Orlando, who held a clipboard at a shooting station. “They’re putting us to work.” The day’s activities kicked off at 10 a.m. on Saturday and lasted for two hours. Cider and snacks were served on the Clinton Pool’s picnic tables as Palladino presented the awards. While everyone took home a prize at the event, the first place trophy went to Cam Engle and his partner Tyler Jury. Second place went to Landry and Frank. Carlos Espinal, Jr. wrapped up the top three finishers with his ball boy partner Carter Hinderling. The event serves as a bonding experience for the program, as well as a fun way to continue instilling some of the core values of Clinton varsity soccer’s tradition. Many of the young ball boys will surely find their way on the varsity starting lineup one day, continuing the strong Drejza tradition. “From my perspective it looked like everyone had a good time,” said Palladino in a message following the event, “including all of the varsity soccer players.” FOOTBALL (continued from page 15) APW’s program of “power playing football,” according to Clinton head coach Henry Frasca. While they did come out with the win, the Warriors suffered a number of injuries. Come Monday’s practice, the team was ruptured. “We’re beat up,” said Frasca. “It’s never about getting ahead. It’s always about maintaining where we were the last week.” Despite some setbacks in the roster with injuries and eligibility issues, the team is doing everything they can to prepare for this weekend’s homecoming game where they will host LaFayette, a team comfortably stationed in the No. 1 spot in the NFF East. The faceoff could prove to be the Warriors’ most challenging competition yet. LaFayette has a 4-0 overall record, having faced two strong programs—Onondaga and Tully—outside of the league. Frasca is worried LaFayette’s wellrounded program, both in strength and in player competence, could be the perfect storm against some of Clinton’s weaker areas. “They’re a ‘do everything’ kind of team,” said Frasca. “Right now, we’re just starting to build an identity to know what we can do and what we can’t do. By Friday, we should be in halfway decent shape again.” Kickoff for Clinton’s varsity homecoming game against LaFayette is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Clinton High School stadium field.
