llen McCann Leuthauser, a native of New Hartford, will be the next Elementary School principal of the Clinton Central School District. The news was announced in a press release from the District published Monday. Leuthauser will replace outgoing Principal Steven Marcus, who has held the position for 22 years. Leuthauser currently serves as principal of the Elbridge Elementary School in the Jordan-Elbridge Central School District. She has previously taught in the Stockbridge Valley and the North Syracuse Central school districts. She said that it was Clinton’s “history of excellence” as an educational institution that first attracted her to the position, but the District’s proximity to her hometown was also an advantage. “I grew up in New Hartford, so I’m very familiar with Clinton,” said Leuthauser, who plans to relocate to the Village with her husband, Scott, and their adult children, Rachel and Lauren. “Just knowing the history of the area and the academics… Who wouldn’t want to be there?” Leuthauser holds a Certificate of Advanced Study from the State University of New York (SUNY) Oswego, a master’s degree in reading education from SUNY Cortland, and her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from SUNY Oswego. During her time in North Syracuse, she served as a literacy collaborative coach, having also trained at Ohio University. She said she hopes to carry on the inclusive and fun learning atmosphere

The real estate agency is just one of many Clinton and surrounding area businesses that are rallying behind the team. At the time of publication, the Comets were down 2-0 in the seven-game series against the Manchester Monarchs. They’ll play Wednesday, Friday and, if needed, Saturday, all at home. Fans can watch the games for free by using the promotional code “CALDERCUP” at http://ahllive.com.
Marcus has established during his legacy at the public school. “[Marcus] is highly-regarded within the community and within the building itself,” said Leuthauser. “He has the children and the community at heart and welcomes input, and that’s something I appreciate.” Leuthauser will officially begin the job on August 1, working closely with Marcus until his official retirement on September 15. In a statement, Superintendent of Schools Stephen Grimm highlighted Leuthauser’s qualities that he is confident will contribute to a nurturing environment for students and faculty. “We are fortunate to have found Ms. Leuthauser,” said Grimm. “Our search committees and I were impressed with the level of her instructional and curricular knowledge in the area of elementary education and reading, her collaborative and friendly leadership style, and her focus on the importance of school-parent and school-community partnerships.”
hen Peter C. McCabe III took off from the starting line, he left his competition in the dust. The expert sprinter ran for the Clinton High School varsity team in the 1940s, when the program was in its early days. “Just get out there in front, that was the name of his game,” said Margaret McCabe, his wife and lifelong companion. “As soon as the gun would go off, he left the other ones in the background, like a bat out of hell.” Peter died in November 2014. In his high school track days, he was undefeated, running against Utica area schools that were much bigger than Clinton High. He set a state record in the 100-yard dash, which has since been converted to the 100-meter MCCABE, page 15
FLOWER THIEVES RUIN IT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE By Staff Flowers were uprooted and stolen from two planting pots at the entrance of the Kirkland Town Park. The theft was noticed by a loyal reader of The Courier late last week. Superintendent of Parks and Recreation for the Town of Kirkland Mike Orsino said that the two pots at the park’s entrance gates were the only areas where flowers were taken, but it’s not the first time theft of this sort has occurred. “We try our best to make it nice for them and everybody. Who knows if it was a prank or what?” said Orsino. “It’s too bad, but it is what it is.” New flowers have since been replanted in the pots.

158-Year-Old Map Among Pieces of Local History Auctioned Written and photographed by Mark Warren
A
large, yellowish-brown map has hung on the wall in the dining room of the Crane family for as long as they can remember. The 48-inch by 40-inch canvas, riddled with small stains, cracks and creases, depicts the Village of Clinton and the Town of Kirkland in 1857. An estate auction of the Crane family home on 3 Franklin St. on June 6 has uncovered the map and a myriad of lost pieces of local history.
For decades, the owners of the house were Ken and Barbara Crane. Ken, who has passed away, started Crane Dairy on Griffin Road with his brothers Leroy, Leonard and Harold. Later, he served as president of the Clinton Historical Society. Barbara co-owned Hearthside Real Estate, the first all women’s real estate company in Oneida County. She later became the first woman president of the Board of Realtors in the county. For years she wrote “Collector’s Corner,” an antique column in the Mid-York Weekly and the Observer-
Dispatch, and she also wrote articles for Kollectors of Old Kitchen Stuff (KOOKS). Barbara is also a founding member of the Schooltown Questers antique club. Her passion for history caused her to accumulate a vast collection of items from around the area. One piece of history that has been with the family for as long as they can remember is the large 158-year-old map. One of Barbara's three daughters, Sue Kielar, said she can’t ever remember the map not being in their home. “Oh my gosh, it’s just been AUCTION, page 9

If you’d like to continue 5K’ing into the future, as a regular part of your weekly workout regimen, there are other ways to do it than the KAC course that avoid the car traffic, bicycles, barking dogs and everything
else that comes with road running—or maybe you just want a change of scenery. Mapped out, the Kirkland Town Park roadway loop is about .79 miles. Doing some easy math, about four loops will get you to about 3.16 miles, just over a 5K (3.12 miles). You can use this equation to adjust your workouts: a 10K equals 8 loops, a 15K—the distance of the upcoming Boilermaker—equals 12 loops, and so on… Happy sweating!

CALLING FOR CORDS As a member of last year’s Clinton Central School graduating class, I remember well our senior class meeting with the principal and his promise that we would be the first class to wear graduation cords come June. I remember excitedly thinking of all the pictures I’d seen of family members and friends graduating from other schools, and the colorful strings that hung from their gowns, signifying accomplishment in classes, membership and positions in various honor societies and clubs. Unfortunately, the cords were later vetoed by the administration and the Board of Education who, I was later told, wanted the class to appear unified onstage and who feared creating feelings of inequality and resentment on graduation day. Of course the graduating class should be unified, which is why students stand together under glaringly hot lights in itchy matching gowns to begin with. But while graduation is a time to celebrate the collective accomplishments of many, it is equally important to celebrate the accomplishments of individuals— those who went above and beyond in academic arenas, on playing fields and in musical pursuits. These students have stood out throughout their high school careers and deserve to stand out on stage. To give them cords and stoles is not to take anything from other students and would not make anyone’s graduation any less of an accomplishment. It may, however, incentivize underclassmen to strive for honors and recognition and encourage a competitive school setting that mimics the professional setting of the real world, which we are supposedly preparing students to enter. There is a time and place for the classic AYSO soccer mentality and the “everybody wins, everybody gets a trophy” motto, but that time and place is not the auditorium stage at high school graduation. Prohibiting cords and stoles on gowns does not do our students any favors. Our refusal to recognize individual honors inadvertently promotes complacency and does little to prepare students for the workforce where accomplishment is rewarded over mediocrity, “fairness” is not
Letters guaranteed, and feelings are rarely spared. Graduates deserve not only our recognition of their accomplishments, but our expectations of their maturity: to be treated like the young adults they are. –Haley Allen, CCS Class of 2014
VARSITY TRACK APPRECIATES COMMUNITY SUPPORT On behalf of the Clinton boys and girls track and field programs, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many supporters who helped us have yet another wonderful experience this season at Clinton Central School. We had many supportive parents throughout the season who came as fans, provided snacks and water for the athletes, and worked at the concession stand donating their time. Thelma Stang, Nina Bremer, Ken and Pam Ford and many others whom I am sure that I am leaving out were integral to our success. Jim Scoones and the Clinton Fire Department (for our impromptu parades); Bonomo’s Dari Creme (for our post-meet victory celebrations); the entire faculty at CCS, who adjusted in order to accommodate situations beyond our control (especially the Music Department); those who helped out by either taking pictures, running the meets, or just “showing up” to provide support. It means a great deal to the kids to see their math teacher or their English teacher attending their contests. We have numerous alumni who constantly take the time to just “check in” on us throughout the season or help “run an event,” and many are current track and field athletes and enthusiasts for life. I’d also like to thank the late Peter McCabe and his wife and daughter who came to town to meet our kids mid-season and who have continually inspired us to do our best. I would also like to thank Mr. Chris Lewis, whose tireless work in preparing our facilities led to a flawless Junkyard Relays and kept us looking as professional as possible with our facility limitations throughout the season. Thanks also go to Tony’s Pizza and Hannaford Supermarket of Clinton for their generous donations to our
Junkyard Relays. Special thanks to Frank Tizzano and his staff for doing a great job transporting us all season and Sharon White in the athletic office for coordinating so many things for us, as well. The student-athletes at CCS have had a great experience and we couldn’t have done it without your help. Thanks to John Howard and The Clinton Courier for all of your support and coverage, as well as trekking out to Syracuse and beyond to make our athletes feel that community connection. Finally, I’d like to publicly thank the best varsity and modified coaching staff that I could ever hope for in coaches Sam Catterson, Angelo Gaetano, Brian McIntosh, Ryan O’Rourke, Stacy Davignon and Rachel Brown for making every day important, fun, hard and meaningful work for all of our athletes during the season. It’s your inspiration and role-modeling that leads to individual champions and team championships. Now… on to next year. Don’t forget to sign up for track, you future champions out there! –Norm Deep Jr., Head Coach, CCS Varsity Boys and Girls Track and Field
THANKS FROM THE ABC PROGRAM I am writing on behalf of the ABC scholars and the Board of Directors of the Clinton A Better Chance Program to thank the many individuals and organizations who have supported the program this year, especially those who responded so generously to our personal campaign; served as host families for our scholars; participated in our fundraisers by ordering wreaths, poinsettias and luminaries; opened their homes to host Hamilton College families during Family Weekend and Commencement; and supported our recent golf tournament as participants or sponsors. Your support made “A Better Chance” possible for six fantastic scholars. A special thank you to The Clinton Courier and Clinton Florist, and to the major sponsors for our golf tournament at Barker Brook Golf Club: Calogero and Associates, NBT Bank, Mohawk Valley Retina, Preferred Mutual, Strategic Financial Services and the Carbone Auto Group. We’re also grateful to the
organizations listed on our website: http://abetterchanceclintonmv.org/ golf/sponsors. Clinton ABC was started in 1972 and provides the opportunity for up to eight talented and strongly motivated students of color to live in Clinton and attend Clinton High School in a strong college preparation program.

Clinton Scene:
St. Mary’s Church Part II By Richard L. Williams Town and Village Historian
I
n the last column, the first Catholics in Clinton and their first church were discussed. Now the story of the second Catholic church in Clinton plus the Church of the Annunciation in Clark Mills will conclude this twopart series. Father James O’Reilly began a collection of funds to build a new church for St. Mary’s shortly after his arrival in Clinton in 1892. He served until his death in 1915. In 1910, the cornerstone was laid for the new church and completed at the end of 1912 at a cost of $91,101.74. Quoting from the Centennial booklet of 1950, “Everywhere the church bears witness to the wisdom, thoughtfulness, and good taste of the builder O’Reilly.” This is evidenced especially in the windows of Tyrolese glass. A thorough study of the windows would be the equivalent of a course in church history and theology. Father O’Reilly deserves the most credit for creating our beautiful building, which he supported financially with a $1 per week contribution, probably making him the second largest donor according to John Burdick in his “The History of St. Mary’s Parish Church” printed in 2013. William Ginther served as architect of St. Mary’s as well as more than 100 other churches, rectories, and parochial schools mainly in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Although larger, St. Mary’s in Cortland, New York bears a striking resemblance to Clinton’s church. Cortland’s was built at the same time and used many of the same suppliers of candlesticks, oak pews, SCENE, page 9
Past Issues 25 Years Ago June 13, 1990 The Kirkland Art Center held their 12th annual KAC Run, filling the Village Green with music and fun. The Y.J. George Tae Kwon Do School held a demonstration of kicks and techniques for onlookers. CCS students and their families will have an opportunity to test out a new program sponsored by Sen. James Donovan. The program, “Families as Cultural Partners,” encourages families to participate in at least three cultural events locally over the summer. The Babe Ruth season recently started up for the spring. To kick off the action, Allen’s True Value defeated New Hartford Rotary by a score of 9–7. Members of the Latin Club at CCS will be sponsoring a car wash to raise money to help cover their travel and attendance costs for an upcoming convention at SUNY Binghamton.
on Thursday to enter into a contract with Central New York TV Inc. to provide cable television service to Clinton for residents desiring home or commercial connection. With its budget defeated by the narrow margin of 43 votes, 289–246, the Board of Education met Tuesday to attempt to determine the next move toward coming up with funds to operate the school district. July 19 was indicated as the date for the next vote. The postmaster general announced that a contract has been awarded to Gerald Dwyer, Clark Mills, to build a new post office in Clark Mills and lease it to the Post Office Department. The announcement of the award advances the proposed new building closer to the construction stage. Rains over a 48-hour period last Tuesday and Wednesday deposited the sum total of 3.75 inches of water. At least for two days, the three-year drought was broken and more rain followed later in the week.
50 Years Ago June 17, 1965 While the demand has been anything but pressing, the Village Board agreed
75 Years Ago June 13, 1940 Among the appropriations made
by the Board Supervisors for highway building in 10 townships is one for $2,000 for the reconstruction of Peck Road on West Hills. A pile of lumber behind a barn at a New Street residence caught fire last Friday night and necessitated the services of the Clinton Fire Department. A fire three miles from Vernon Center also occurred Friday night, at which time three barns burned to the ground, attracting a large number of people from this Village. The Clinton Canning Company has leased its viners to an outside company for the summer months. A considerable part of the canning equipment has been sold and there is a possibility that the main shed, which is suitable only for canning, may be demolished. A car parked on North Park Row was stolen early Friday evening and found abandoned on Champlain Road. Two spare tires carried inside the car were missing and two other tires had been substituted for better ones on the wheels.
100 Years Ago June 16, 1915 Last Friday, the Town supervisor and Village president went to Albany to see about the opening bids for the Deansboro-Clinton county highway improvement, except for the portion that runs through the Village. When the businessmen found their store windows all plastered over with the Hamilton College upperclassmen posters last week, they were not surprised because such things have been done before and it has come to be the customary thing before the term ends. We have been requested to call attention to the necessity of some safeguard from accident from passing trains at the crossing at the Clinton Station. Within a few weeks, several very narrow escapes have occurred. The experiment of burning crude petroleum under the boilers at the mines has proved that it will not answer the purposes as well as coal and its use will be abandoned.

Library Notes Books of Pearls
By Anne Debraggio, Director, Kirkland Town Library Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ quote, “pearls are always appropriate,” is particularly true this month—pearls are one of the birthstones for June. The Library is full of pearls of reading, though “he who would search for pearls must dive below.” John Dryden, 17th C English poet You may prefer pearls of authors: “The Good Earth,” Nobel Laureate Pearl S. Buck's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is “the classic story of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-Lan set in 1920s China, when the last emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentieth century were but distant rumblings”(catalog summary). Though you may have read this book in school, you may not know that it is part one of The House of Earth trilogy. “Sons” and “A House Divided” continue the chronicle of Wang Lung’s family. “The Dante Club,” “The Poe Shadow,” and “The Last Dickens” are historical thrillers involving literary figures by Matthew Pearl. His latest title, “The Last Bookaneer,” is a “swashbuckling tale of greed and great literature” as rival book pirates seek their biggest prize, the last novel of Robert Louis Stevenson. Nancy Pearl, the only librarian I know who has her own action figure, is known for her talent advising readers. If you are looking for recommendations, check out her titles; “Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason,” “More Book Lust,” and “Book Crush: For Kids and Teens.” Perhaps you like pearls of titles: John Steinbeck’s “The Pearl” and “The Black Pearl,” by Scott O’Dell, are school classics that may come to mind quickly. There is also “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” by Tracy Chevalier. Published in 2000, this historical novel follows the relationship between the artist Johannes Vermeer and a maidservant in his household, and continues to be a popular request. “The Pearl Diver,” by Jeff Talarigo, is available in both book and audiobook formats. Talarigo’s debut novel tells the story of a young pearl diver who, just after World War II, is diagnosed with leprosy, disowned by her family and sent to the island of Nagashima, where lepers are kept in isolation. “An unforgettable, achingly sad novel.” (Booklist Review) Kate Furnivall’s “The White Pearl”
is a “tale of war, desperation, and the discovery of love.” When the Japanese invade Malaya in 1941, Connie and her family flee, sailing south on their yacht toward Singapore. Increasingly desperate and short of food, they are taken over by a pirate craft. When a fighter plane crashes into the sea and they rescue its Japanese pilot, Connie discovers a new kind of freedom and a new, dangerous, exhilarating love. (catalog summary) Then there are pearls of characters: In “The Scarlet Letter,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Pearl is the child of an illicit affair between Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale. “Her Pearl!—for so had Hester called her, not as a name expressive of her aspect, which had nothing of the calm, white, unimpassioned lustre that would be indicated by the comparison. But she named the infant ‘Pearl,’ as being of great price—purchased with all she had—her mother’s only treasure!” (chapter six) Pearl Stone is a minor character in Zora Neale Hurston’s novel, “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” Hurston's classic depicts one of the first strong black women of 20th-century literature, Janie Crawford, as she “sets out to be her own person, a quest for identity which takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots.” (catalog summary). Pearl is one of the “porch sitters,” a group of men and women who gossip and comment on everyone else’s business. In Amy Tan's novel “The Kitchen God's Wife,” Pearl is the Americanborn daughter of immigrants. When she visits her mother for Grand Auntie Du's funeral, misunderstanding runs deep between mother and daughter. Pearl is married with two young girls of her own, but her mother's life is largely incomprehensible to her. This leads to the large second part of the novel, told in mother Winnie's voice of her young womanhood in World War II-era China. “Tan is a gifted natural storyteller” reads the review from Library Journal. Finally, a “pearl of wisdom” from one of my favorite childhood literary characters, L. M. Montgomery’s Anne Shirley: "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

Sheriff Maciol to Present on Personal Security
THE CLINTON COURIER 5
Where’s Your C?
By Kaitlin Meier
T
he United Methodist Church men’s group will once again host a speaker for all who are interested. Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, a lifelong area resident, will speak about personal security on Saturday, June 13. Maciol will share some basic crime prevention tips and will also be offering information on some of the programs affiliated with the Sheriff ’s Office, such as Project Lifesaver and the Yellow Dot Program, in hopes that people will take advantage of their services. “One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is traveling throughout Oneida County talking to groups and organizations about the great things the Sheriff ’s Office does,” said Maciol. “Helping someone is a very satisfying feeling.” Maciol has been in law enforcement for more than 26 years. In that time, he has seen how technology has progressed to allow for better public safety and faster crime solving. Technological devices such as computers and automatic vehicle locators in cars, modern equipment for forensics units, a remote control robot for the SWAT team, and a state-of-the-art mobile command post all represent modern innovations that have allowed the Sheriff ’s Office to conduct its work as safely and efficiently as possible. However, technology can also pose a threat to personal safety when it comes to internet browsing and easier access to personal information.

Local Surgeon Publishes Study in Scientific Journal By Staff Dr. Leo Sullivan, a vascular thoracic trauma surgeon from Clinton, has published a study on the treatment of venous ulcers. Sullivan’s study, titled “Retrograde MechanicoChemical Endovenous Ablation of Infrageniculate Great Saphenous Vein for Persistent Venous Stasis Ulcers,” appeared in a 2014 edition of the Phlebology: The Journal of Venous Disease, a journal providing
information about diseases of the veins. The study, according to an abstract, included six patient-subjects (four men and two women) and found that mechanico-chemical endovenous ablation (MOCA) could be used as a safe alternative to laser treatment where potential nerve damage is a concern. Sullivan is a surgeon at the St. Elizabeth Medical Center.

Diverse Watercolor Exhibition Features Local Artists
KAC’s ‘Just Add Water’ Show Seeks Artists of All Types
By Mark Warren
T
he Central New York Watercolor Society (CNYWS) is displaying a collection of recent works by their signature members at the Kirkland Town Library this month. The collection, titled “First Signature Exhibition of 2015,” is made up of 38 paintings from 27 artists in the central New York area. The exhibition features a diverse set of pieces, from abstract works to bright landscapes. An opening reception was held at the Library on May 30, when the exhibition debuted. Established in 1982, the CNYWS was originally comprised of fourteen charter members from central New York. Today, the society has dozens of members in every corner of the state. One of the featured artists is Sharon Burke of Clinton. This exhibition is Burke’s first as a signature member of the CNYWS. Her two works featured are titled “Lotus” and “Olympic Sunset,” and they were both inspired by her travels. “Lotus” features pink lotus flowers surrounded by wide green pond leaves and seed pods. Burke gained her inspiration from a trip to the Old Summer Palace in Beijing three summers ago with her husband Alfred and her son Peter. “There was a New Summer Palace and an Old Summer Palace,” she said. “The Old Summer Palace

I loved how they rise—something like three or four feet above the water. It was just magical.” “Olympic Sunset” was inspired by her travels to Washington State. A friend of hers lives in an area that sits between Discovery Bay and the Olympic Peninsula. The painting features mountains in the distance that are being lit up by a bring yellow setting sun. Burke admitted the beautiful scenery has caused
her to paint that same particular view of Olympic Peninsula about 12 different times, although she has only kept two of them. Anyone can join the organization as an associate member, but if they wish to get approved as a signature member, they can submit their work to a CNYWS committee. Fellow signature member Barbara Kellogg of Fayetteville also has two paintings featured in the exhibition. One of her paintings, titled “A Chord,” originally evolved

from a completely different medium. “I made a collage out of scrap pieces from some magazines and just made a design that I thought was interesting,” she said. “Then I painted into it because I wanted to get rid of some of the hard edges and so forth. So, what I originally put on the paper is not visible.” “First Signature Exhibition of 2015” will be available for viewing during regular Library hours in the Bristol Room. Paintings are available for purchase until June 27.
The Kirkland Art Center has partnered with Golden Artist Colors in New Berlin, New York, to create a new, crowd-sourced exhibition to open in July. Submissions to the exhibition are operating like a contest. Artists are given a 3.5x3.5-inch piece of watercolor paper and a small palette of paint to create a miniature work of art. An opening reception of the final works is scheduled for Thursday, July 2, from 8–10 p.m., with a short preview party proceeding it from 7–8 p.m. The painting chosen as best of show will receive $100, a $150 Golden gift certificate and a KAC membership. Honorable mentions will receive a $100 Golden gift certificate and KAC membership. Additionally, all participating artists will have their names listed on KAC’s website. As many as 300 sample cards have been distributed so far, according KAC director John Gardner, and the more the submissions, no matter what talent level, the better. “It’s an open call. You don’t have to be a professional artist,” said Gardner. “For some people, it’s their first ever painting.” Artwork will be sold for $20 with proceeds going toward supporting the KAC’s mission of promoting art and art education in the community. All participating artists will be given a complimentary ticket to the preparty (a $10 value). The submission deadline is set for June 29.

Co-sponsored by the Central New York Association of Music Teachers and the Setnor School of Music of Syracuse University, the festival featured performances by 23 young pianists from Central New York. Leah received a monetary prize for her performance of the second and third movements of Sonatina, Op. 20 No. 2, by Friedrich Kuhlau.
Spring Concerts Conclude CCS Performance Schedule Written and Photographed by John Howard Village parking lots and theater seats were filled as Clinton Middle and High School student music groups wrapped up the 2014–15 performance schedule with back-to-back spring concerts last week. Groups including Jazz Band, the Chamber Singers, Symphonic Band, Mixed Chorus, and High-SchoolMiddle-School Orchestra performed during a High School Concert on Wednesday. Highlighted throughout the performance were the exiting seniors, as well as instructor Marlene Hawkins, who will retire this summer after 33 years at the helm of the District’s string students. In a brief address
during the Chorus’ performance, director Jenna Wratten referred to Hawkins as “a true educator.” The Orchestra handled the final installment of the evening, which concluded with a performance of “Josh Groban Gold,” featuring “The Prayer,” “You Raise Me Up, and “To Where You Are,” arranged by Jerry Brubaker. Of the students making up the five groups, 39 were seniors. A Middle School concert took place on Thursday and featured four groups—the Sixth-Grade Band, the Sixth-Grade Chorus, the Middle School Chorus and the Middle School Concert Band. Each group performed four selections.

VILLAGE VOICES
What was your first car?
Cars of all kinds were on display in the Village Green as part of the Clinton Fire Department’s fourth annual Cruise-In car show on June 7.
“A black ‘63 Volkswagen with a red interior. No radio, absolutely no options. Gas pedal was attached directly to the floor, so in the winter it would freeze—you’d need a string on it to pull it back.”
Garry McVoy, Clinton
Village Takes a Pit Stop for Annual Cruise-In Car Show Written and photographed by Mark Warren The Clinton Fire Department held their fourth annual Cruise-In car show on June 7 at the Village Green. The sun was shining bright as car lovers from all over the area opened up their hoods and showcased their vehicles for the crowd of spectators in attendance. In total, 150 vehicles of all types, colors and ages lined West Park Row and the Green. The Cruise-In has grown steadily during its brief existence. The first year featured about 60 vehicles, according to Clinton Fire Chief Bill Huther. This year, antique cars, vintage muscle cars, newer sports cars and
even oddities like a modified stock car and an old local Crane Dairy milk truck were seen at the show. The historic white and orange truck still had the wooden milk crates in the back, which were labeled Utica, NY. Some of the other vehicles on hand included a 1925 Ford Model T Depot Hack, a yellow ‘55 Studebaker President Speedster, a maroon ‘64 Ford Thunderbird, a black ‘65 Lincoln Continental, a black ‘02 Maserati Spyder, and a silver ‘87 MercedesBenz 560 SEC. The Mercedes-Benz on display was the actual car from the film “Roadhouse,” which was owned by actor Patrick Swayze before his death.
If all of the cars weren't enough to draw people in, Brooks’ House of BBQ provided food and one of the department’s fire trucks displayed an American flag hundreds of feet in the air by extending its ladder as far as it would go vertically. At the end, awards were given out. Tim Meisennezder won the Kid’s Choice award for his ‘37 Chevy, Ken and Gail Mosher won the Women’s Choice award for their ‘70 Dodge Charger, Barry Tallman won the Men’s Choice award for his ‘87 Buick Regal Turbo T, and Michael Hardy won the People’s Choice award for his ‘61 Ford Falcon.
Jim Julian, Clinton “I got my very first car when I was 14 years old—a ‘52 Plymouth. It was a two-door hardtop and we took the torch and cut the roof off. We could get more people in that way.”
“I was in high school, I bought a ‘39 Pontiac—fourdoor sedan. It was a standard, but I didn’t know how to drive a standard. So I had to have my friend drive it out of the garage so I could look at it. But I learned how to drive in and out of that garage.”

St. Mary’s 43 windows were imported from Innsbruck, Austria where they were created. Dr. Roger Moore, writing in the February 2006 Newsletter of the Clinton Historical Society, wrote the following about them: “The windows can be appreciated for their artistic merit, the craftsmanship manifest in all, and the history they depict. The intense reds and blues, especially when enjoyed as the light of day spills into the darkened church, are grand, but best appreciated by the human eye.” The most prominent windows are the five in the Chancel above and beyond the main altar. They are Christ giving the keys to St. Peter, Sacrifice of Isaac, Crucifixion, Melchisedeck, and Women at the Tomb. Of St. Mary’s altars, three are imported Carara white marble with statues, and the smaller ones feature the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. Oil paintings were imported by the Benziger Brothers and depict various important religious events such as Christ before Pilate. A church would not be complete without music, and St. Mary’s first
organ was built in Utica by the Buhl Organ Company. Two organs have replaced that one. More ranks of pipes, modernizations, and chimes add a significant dimension to any service. Clintonians can hear the four bells in the belfry quite clearly on a Sunday morning. The Gabriel, Our Lady of Lourdes, Sacred Heart, and St. Joseph are the bells which, when installed in 1914, cost $1,811. Located in a small building next to the church, St. Mary’s School opened in 1965 for grades 1-8, and remains today as a preschool facility. Clark Mills Catholics had to venture via 3rd Rail to Utica for Mass or via horse and buggy and later to Clinton to experience Mass. Rev. O’Reilly had a special affection for Clark Mills for whom he also built a church, today’s Church of the Annunciation on East South Street just west of the border in the Town of Westmoreland. Rev. O’Reilly used materials from the former Clinton Liberal Institute at 13 Chestnut St. in both St. Mary’s and Annunciation. The new St. Mary’s, built of Medina sandstone, replaced the old wood church of 1854. With the new church, the school on Prospect Street, and the rectory at 13 Marvin St., Clinton’s Catholic community has fine structures in which to learn and to worship. With three large buildings, maintenance requires much time and funding. The current Catholic congregants along with some large bequests have allowed the parish to keep the buildings in top shape—a tribute to the former priests and all church members who placed a high priority on having a beautiful spot in which to worship and praise God. The 13th and current pastor of St. Mary’s, Father John P. Croghan, has supervised several improvements such as a new slate roof, a concrete driveway, and repaired front steps. New carpeting and a new public address system have been installed also.
AUCTION (continued from page 1) there forever,” she said. “I think what’s charming about it is all the sketches of all the prominent places of the time— and it was a part of our family. We ate in the dining room every night, it was just always there.” The map features the Town of Kirkland in the center, with a detailed extension of Clinton near the top. Each and every building is labeled with the name of its owner. Surrounding the main diagrams is a series of 19 sketches of local landmarks, including Hamilton College, St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the F. D. Clark & Co. Store and Clark Mills Hotel. At the bottom, the map reads “From actual survey by Benj. A. Clark, Civil Engineer. Published by Richard Clark, 307 Wharton St. Philadelphia 1857.” Catherine Glod, Barbara’s youngest daughter, said she is happy so many structures shown on the 1857 map are still intact today. “You know, it’s surprising how many of those places are still here, which is such a nice testament to villages like Clinton,” she said. Lang’s Auction ran the event last weekend for the Crane family. Debbie Ganung, co-owner of Lang’s Auction, said while the Village itself still has many similarities to the 150-yearold map, the surrounding area has changed. “There are a lot of changes since that map was made,” she said. “There are a lot of towns that don’t exist anymore. It’s kind of cool to look at it closely. If you get close enough to look at the different townships, some of them have changed drastically since that map was made.” Franklin and Manchester were two townships depicted within the Town of Kirkland’s borders in 1857, along with Clinton. At the auction’s conclusion, the map had a new owner: coordinator of the Clinton Historical Society (CHS) Bob
Tegart. He said he is excited to donate his new purchase to the CHS. He explained that the Society already has a similar map, but it is in such poor condition that it cannot be used. “We already have one, but it’s all ratty,” he said. “It’s rolled up and coming apart, it’s water damaged. We unrolled it one time and I photographed it, so the best we could do was use the photograph. Now we can mount it and look at it.” Prior to the auction, Tegart notified the CHS of his intention to bid on the map. With their blessing he went to the auction, and he was prepared to spend up to $300 on the map. He never hit that limit, as it was sold to him for $130. Other versions of the map exist locally. Lumbard Hall in Clinton is in possession of one, as well as The Burns Agency. The 1857 map can also be found in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Hundreds of other items were sold along with the map at the auction. The entire estate was bought by different bidders for a total of approximately $16,000–$17,000, according to Ganung. The most expensive item, a piece of local folk art, was sold for just over $1,500. The piece was originally found in a farm attic in Beaver Falls, New York. As Ganung explained, Barbara didn’t collect pieces with the intention of gaining a profit from them, rather, she found local things she had an affinity for. “It wasn’t so much [about] collecting everything as it was—these things were cherished by somebody else and used by somebody else” she said. “She always thought it was marvelous that she knew it was part of somebody else’s home, the history.” Other pieces of local history sold at the auction on Sunday included unusual Syracuse china, antique kitchen gadgets, and a wide array of old glass bottles from area businesses.

NOVENA Prayer to the Blessed Virgin (Never Known to Fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, Help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in this necessity. (Make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (three times). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (three times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.

MCCABE (continued from page 1) dash, crossing the finish line in 9.8 seconds. Like many local runners today, Peter trained on the College Hill, running up and down it every day. His favorite aunt, Bessie Griffin, lived up at the top in the Griffin House, which gave him a final destination. While he was a four-sport athlete— track and field, baseball, basketball and football—it was running where Peter shined most. He was tall and thin, and his boldness on the track earned him a spot in the Olympic Trials in 1948. Peter’s father had died in a car accident when he was young, and in a lot of ways his running provided him a college degree and a career in teaching, as he was awarded a full scholarship to Syracuse University (SU). “His running and his sports were his salvation,” said Carolyn Bean, one of Peter’s four children. “He was going to make something of himself even if he didn’t have a dad.” Running was his life. He kept a ticket stub from one of his appearances in Madison Square Garden, where he was competing for SU. If his children got bored on summer vacations, he would send them outdoors to run timed laps around the house. Running is also how he and Margaret became close. Attending what was then Utica Free Academy, she would sit in the stands and watch Peter take off like a bullet. His strategy—as his family members recall it—was to pull out fast but to conserve a little energy for a final push. Peter and Margaret eventually settled down in Pittsford, New York, a suburb of Rochester, but he would always stay connected with Clinton’s track happenings, checking in on the phone with head coach Norm Deep Jr.
In 2007, he was a special guest during the end of the year Junkyard Relays. “Mr. McCabe would ... send me [newspaper] clippings along with generous donations and personal notes reading such things as, ‘Great win, coach. Get the kids some pizza,’

Award, a concept Deep and Peter developed together. Sam Catterson, who was awarded the Peter McCabe Outstanding Athlete Award in 2001, has since rejoined the indoor and outdoor track and field teams as an assistant coach.
He said that history has always been an important motivator for the squads, especially with regard to Peter. “Peter McCabe was the original,” said Catterson. “It showed us what we could be.” Prior to his death in the fall, Peter spoke about the award during a phone interview with The Courier. “I’m very happy to give that award,” he said. “It means a lot to me and I hope it means something to the student. It’s a representation of a lot of hard work. ... I always tried to portray [that] in my behavior and I got to be successful. I hope whomever wins it follows suit.” This year, for the first time ever, a scholarship in Peter’s honor will also be presented to a senior. Unlike the Outstanding Athlete Award, which is based on stats alone, the scholarship is based on an athlete’s character. Jon Kulpa, a longtime distance runner on the boys team and a senior this year, will be its first recipient. Bean worked with Deep and the High School Guidance Office to develop the scholarship. She said she hopes it will present an opportunity to students that will parallel her father’s scholarship to SU. “If there’s another student who can go to college and go ahead in life, great,” said Bean. “It was important for my dad to stay involved. That was the theme of his life.”
Peter McCabe’s varsity letter from 1946. or, ‘Nice job at the States,’” said Deep. “I would often use his quotes or encouragement to help motivate the team.” Starting with the 1994 season, a senior from the boys team has been honored every year with the CCS Peter McCabe Outstanding Athlete

Two Clinton High School seniors will be traveling to compete at the New York Public High School Track and Field championships this week. Liam Pierce and Alayna Lofgren earned a spot in the State University of New York at Albany competition during a qualifying round last week for efforts in their respective field events. In the state-level competition, student-athletes are divided into Division I for large schools (grades 10–12 with an enrollment of 600 and over) and Division II for small school (grades 10–12 with an enrollment of 599 and under). Clinton athletes competed in the small school category. Pierce qualified in the pole vault, with a height of 12-feet-6-inches. He finished in second place in Division II behind Holland Patent’s Tucker Ofalt, who vaulted 13 feet. Lofgren finished second in the high jump for Division II behind FabiusPompey’s Adelia Alexander. Her final
height of the day was 5 feet. Both seniors have been top point earners for the Warrior varsity squads, helping advance their teams to first-place finishes on the Section III finals stage two years in a row. State finals are scheduled for later this week. Individual medals will be awarded to the top six in each division and also to the top six in the state. While they only qualified one from the team, the Clinton girls squad put up a number of noteworthy performances. Aneesa Lewis’ 34-foot8.25-inch shot put, a personal best, missed a States bid by 3.5 inches. She took second in Division II. The girls 4x100-meter relay team, consisting of Rylee Meelan, Alayna Lofgren, Kristina Gudnaya and Maureen Lewis, narrowly missed breaking a CCS varsity record of 51.27 seconds by a season's best time of 51.55.

KAC 2015: Perfect Weather, Packed Streets and Another Millar Win By John Howard
“T
here’s something in my brain that isn’t connected right,” New Hartford runner Ryan Millar, 24, said on Saturday. “Most people do hate this sport, but I literally love it.” For the second year in a row, Millar took first in the annual Kirkland Art Center 5K race. He easily maintained a commanding lead ahead of the 1-mile mark on the course, earning a 15:45 finish time for the road race, now in its 37th year. The time is a personal best for Millar on the course. Because he was so far ahead of the pack, though, he said he struggled with the final halfmile, which sees runners head up the hill of Chestnut Street as they make their way to Williams Street. With no runners pressing to pass, it was hard for him to keep an aggressive pace. Following the race, Millar, who competed in Division III collegiate track for the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, said he was happy with his time “for the most part,” but the annual ritual of competing in the KAC 5K has a lot more to do with his running roots than it does setting new personal records. “This race is actually the first race I ever did in my career, so it has some sentimental value. It’s why I come out here every year,” said Millar, who also won first place in 2008. “I started when I was nine … and [participated] pretty much every year since.” Millar now holds fifth place in the all-time KAC Run and Walk performances. Brian Fullem tops that record list with his 1986 run where he finished with a time of 15:14. Twelve of the 5K runners finished in under 20 minutes. Coming in behind Millar for second place was Clinton High School senior Jon Kulpa, who was able to shave more than a minute off his 2014 time,
crossing the finish line on Williams this weekend with Leone Timing’s digital clock reading 17:13. Ahead of the race, Kulpa said he hoped to break the 18-minute mark. A strong, steady effort created 47 seconds of wiggle room for the distance runner. Rounding out the top three in the men’s category was Stephen Paddock, 20, of Ilion, whose time was 17:25. It was 39-year-old Kelly Ann Nugent, of Clinton who topped the women’s category with a time of 21:31. Gabrielle Dewhurst, a sophomore runner on the Clinton varsity girls track team, took second in the women’s category, finishing just 12 seconds behind Nugent. She said it was a lackluster performance in the steeplechase at this year’s Section III finals that pushed her to be on the top of her game this past weekend. “I know all the mile markers [on the course] and I keep the time,” said Dewhurst. “My first mile was really fast … I just kept pushing, but I didn’t keep the pace.” Stacy Horth, 26, of Waterville took third in the women's category with a time of 22:12. The event was cocooned in a weekend full of community activities, games, art and music. The number of registered participants was up from last year’s 260 runners and walkers in the 5K race. Saturday’s weather was also an improvement from the muggy heat that swept the Village in 2014. Both before and after the 5K, runners commented that the combination of the sunshine and regular breezes made conditions more than ideal. “It was very humid last year,” said Kulpa. “This is the coolest weather we’ve had [in years].”

Photos by John Howard Grace Atik, left, and Max Huckaby, right, were the Clinton Central School recipients of the 2015 Section III Scholar Athlete Awards. By Kaitlin Meier Clinton High School seniors Grace Atik and Max Huckaby are the recipients of this year’s Section III Scholar Athlete Awards. Each school year, Section III
Athletics recognizes one female and one male student from each of its 105 member schools for outstanding performance in both sports and academics. In order to receive the Section III Scholar Athlete Award, a student must participate in varsity competition in a section-sponsored sport while maintaining a grade point average of 90 percent or better. Other factors considered for the honor are community service, extracurricular activities and exemplary citizenship. The award marks the highest academic honor that Section III gives out. Atik, who will be attending Tufts University in the fall, has participated in soccer, cross country, indoor and outdoor track, and lacrosse during her time at Clinton Central School. Huckaby, who is headed to Bowdoin College, has participated in soccer, indoor track and lacrosse. Their achievements were recognized at the annual Section III Athletes award dinner on June 8, at Onondaga Community College. More than $6,500 in college scholarships were awarded to outstanding student-athletes.
