L
ocal hockey fans of all ages shuffled through the doors of Kirkland Town Library on Wednesday, Jan. 7, to help ring in the inauguration of Comets Hockey Day. An official proclamation was made with the help of Town Board members Donna Yando and Fred Lomanto to welcome in the new local holiday. Attendees had the chance to meet players of teams past and present, as two current Utica Comets joined five of the Eastern Hockey League’s Clinton Comets players from the 1950s–70s for the event. Forwards Hunter Shinkaruk and Brendan Gaunce of the Utica Comets signed autographs for and answered questions from a fan base rich in hockey history.
Five Clinton varsity hockey seniors and the three captains from the Hamilton College Continentals were also in attendance to greet fans and sign memorabilia. Clinton resident George Graziadei said the event brought together fans that have enjoyed local hockey for generations. “I thought it was awesome,” he said. “You get the contrast all the way from the old school to the high school players. I think it was really great the way they had them all come together like that. I think it’s good for them and good for the kids too.” Mark Cavelier of Clinton said the diversity of the players at the event helped bring the sport full-circle for him and his two sons.
“It’s great exposure for Jack, who is 7, and Mason, who is going to be 4, to see the young high schoolers working up through college, and then the Utica Comets and some of the legends in Clinton,” he said. “It was a good experience for them to ask questions and understand the sport better.” Clinton resident Cindy Lopata said she enjoyed catching up with old acquaintances that she watched play hockey in Clinton when she was younger. “It was nice,” she said. “I know all the past Comets players here, I’ve known them for years. It was nice seeing them again.” Greater Utica Sports Hall of Famers Jack Kane and Borden Smith joined Archie Burton, Peter Prevost and Dave Armstrong to usher in the new yearly celebration. Kane is the all-time leader in points for the Comet franchise’s 40-year history in the EHL. During his 12-year career with the team, Kane led the Comets to four Walker Cup Championships and seven division titles. He said the dynamic that was created by joining local teams was successful due to his support of the Utica Comets and local hockey as a whole. “I thought it went over very well,” he said. “I think that the Utica Comets blended well, and they know some of our backgrounds from being down at the Aud with all the pictures there. Although they don’t know us personally, we did introduce ourselves tonight to them and they were very nice. Of course they’re playing well and we see all the games.” As of the beginning of this week, the Utica Comets are currently 23-85-0, putting them in second place in the Western Conference of the overall COMETS, page 5

sea of heads filled the Schine Student Center auditorium at Syracuse University, listening to a presentation on procedures that could help combat the spread of malaria. High above, a group of Clinton High
School students followed along, anticipating the next two days that lay ahead. Led by chaperones Mikki Smith and Andrew Roberts, a group of 26 Clinton students took part in last weekend’s Model UN. In total, about 500–700 students were in attendance from roughly 20 schools throughout the state. “Everyone’s really excited,” said MODEL UN, page 15
Boys, Girls Indoor Track Score League Titles By John Howard
F
or the girls, it was expected. For the boys, it was earned. The Center State Conference league indoor track championships were held last Friday at Colgate University and both Clinton Warrior squads rose to the occasion and won first-place spots on the team podiums. It was no secret that winning would the greater challenge to the boys team. Having lost to their nemesis West Canada Valley going into the CSC championship, the team was anxious to see how their opponents came out. Add to that the pressure from the new CSC additions Dolgeville and Herkimer picking off points from Clinton’s total, it’s understandable that the Warrior boys huddle at the Sanford Field House was bubbling with nerves. Dolgeville and Herkimer also took away from West Canada’s score, TRACK, page 16

n incident which led to an arrest at the Clinton Manor apartments appears to have left an uneasy environment on the campus in its wake. On Friday, Jan. 2, Dennis P. Ready, 52, was charged with Forcible Touching of an 84-year-old female and he was also charged with Second Degree Sexual Abuse against an 85-year-old female. An initial alleged incident was discovered through video cameras that had been installed to monitor a resident who was susceptible to falling. Since it was reported to police, the second female came forward. Multiple sources who spoke to The Courier on the condition of anonymity said that residents are scared following the alleged assault and there is concern that the facility’s administration could have done more to intervene.
“[The management] has known about him and everyone was afraid of him,” an anonymous source claiming to be longtime resident said in a phone call. “The only thing they said was to keep your mouth shut or you’ll be asked to move.” Clinton Manor offers subsidized housing and traditionally has been a community for seniors. It has transitioned to allow individuals with handicaps in recent years. The property is managed by CRM Rental Management, based in Rome. All new applicants wishing to apply for housing at Clinton Manor are subjected to a criminal background checks as required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to facility’s staff. Ready was arraigned on the two charges in the Town of Marshall Court on Jan. 6. and pled not guilty. Ready was remanded to the Oneida County Jail before posting bail. He appeared in Kirkland Town Court on Tuesday, Jan. 6. and is due back on Feb. 24. Since the arrest, he has moved out of Clinton Manor and orders of protection were issued to the two alleged victims. Calls to CRM president John Varecka and on-site management for comment were not immediately returned.
There will be no issue of The Courier published on January 28.

Moving Right Along While driving north in search of Warrior hockey this weekend (see page 16), we stumbled upon an unusual discovery for being on the cusp of the Adirondack Mountains: Elvis Presley is 80 years old. For lunch, we had stopped in at the Soda Fountain in Remsen, a restaurant made locally famous for its ‘50s-era decor and Erin Hamlin sundae. There, while munching on my chicken Philly cheesesteak (another discovery made this weekend), I contemplated what an 80-year-old Elvis really means. The King arrived on this planet Jan. 8, 1935. He left it (allegedly?) on Aug. 16, 1977. What would Elvis be like today? Heck, probably a lot like he was at 42, though he might have an extra Christmas album or two in his discography—perhaps, one with Lady Gaga like Tony Bennett does. Though the running theme of Elvis became the inside joke of the weekend, the thought came and went in a flash. It did get me thinking about important dates that January holds. Here, approaching the epicenter of the month following a snowy haze of the Hanukkah-Kwanzaa-ChristmasNew Year season, it’s easy to miss key dates. It’s award season in the film world (spoiler: “Boyhood” will win most of the honors). Also, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is next week (Jan. 19). Our education columnist Debby Hepburn tackles both topics in “Teacher Talk” this week (see page 8). The College is also celebrating MLK Day, not with an essay, but with a theater production (see page 5). Though it feels like the winter varsity sports season just began, we’re already at a halfway point. For the hockey team, their next final 8 games will be crucial when it comes to how their postseason turns out.
For groups like indoor track and Model UN (see page 1 for both), the season has already peaked, with both of their major events taking place last week. Track coach Norm Deep called it the “be-all end-all of the season” and both the boys and girls teams came away with a win. Model UN participants were equally successful, earning career skills and a knowledge of world policies in their weekend adventures. With the help of the Kirkland Town Library and other local organizations, The Courier tried to make its own special January day— Comets Hockey Day (see page 1) in town. Due to the success of the event and the large turnout (Thank you if you came!), we plan on celebrating the new Kirkland holiday on future Jan. 7s to come. It’s the middle of January. It's really cold out, and it’ll probably get colder. That white, powdery stuff that was so pretty leading up to Dec. 25, is now just plain snow. It’s time to start thinking about things like budgets, local elections, groundhogs and finalizing college applications. No, they’re not the prettiest things, or the most exciting, but we will get through them. When the going gets tough, the tough don’t always have to be going, going, going... They can stop and have a chicken Philly cheesesteak, or a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich along the way.

Village Hack: The Snowball Squeegee By John Howard I witnessed this trick while driving through the Village on one of our most recent bitterly cold days. At first, I thought the guy was going to peg my car with the ball of snow he was sculpting while crouching behind his minivan. As I peered into my rearview mirror, though, I noticed the gentleman’s intentions were far less malicious. Instead, the man was using the snowball to clean off his back windshield. Immediately, I thought, “Gee, what a resourceful idea to get
you through between carwashes in a pinch.” That, of course, was followed by, “Gee, have I really never thought of that before?” So, in case you’re like me and this hadn’t already occurred to you (it’s OK, you can admit it, just do it quietly), this tip may come in handy the next time you're clearing off your grime-covered glass. Thank you, mysterious snowball man of the Village, for giving us all some useful common sense!

Clinton Scene: Rhodes Left Town
Photo courtesy of Richard L. Williams The former James H. Rhodes & Company plant was located in Franklin Springs. Currently, the site sits unused. By Richard L. Williams, Town and Village Historian
T
ucked away next to White Creek in Franklin Springs, the old Clinton Metallic Paint Co. site has recently been occupied by James H. Rhodes Co. Last month Rhodes moved to 10 Ward St. in nearby Vernon and took about 40 jobs with them. First we relate the story of Rhodes here in the Town of Kirkland and later a look at the history of the metallic paint firm. James H. Rhodes dates from 1899, as a company which develops polishing pads for various industrial uses. Today it applies cast polyurethane polishing pad technology to its core markets, according to its web site jhrhodes.com. Rhodes makes a micro-cellular rigid foam with a high density of 27 to 75 pounds per cubic inch. It is sold in sheets and/or discs. Corning Glass and Eastman Kodak uses Rhodes products. Rhodes is a global company with customers in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and China as well as the USA. It caters to all surfacing and polishing needs of the glass, crystal, metal, and ceramic industries. Rhodes came here in 1974, when it bought the former paint mill. The state provided an $8500 grant to extend village water and sewer in 1979. Clinton resident Dominick Trasatti was vice-president and manager until his retirement in June 2001. He built the plant from the ground up in his 27 years there. The firm considered expanding here or relocating in 1988, but in 1989, Rhodes built three new buildings on the five-acre site adding 95,000 square footage of space. This expansion planned to create 185 jobs, according to the Clinton Courier at that time. The firm did increase employment from 6 in 1979 to around 40 over the years. Rhodes had become a division of Hicksville, Long Island manufacturer Universal Photonics, Inc. in 1980, and continued to make pads for silicon wafers and grinding compound for optical lenses. Previously and when it started here, it was a division of Beatrice Foods. A landmark event occurred in July 2001, when the Rhodes company received the ISO 9001-2000 quality assurance rating. This rating by the International Standards Organization (ISO) assured the quality and integrity of its products. The high quality of workmanship in the plant guaranteed the quality of the products to its worldwide customers. For example
Rhodes products polished the Hubble telescope. Clinton Chamber executive director Ferris Betrus has reported that Rhodes wished to expand at the Franklin Springs site, but found it more economical to move to Vernon where an about 6 year-old building was available. Rhodes will invest more in Vernon where it has 75,000 square feet of industrial space. The old paint company buildings date from 1886, when William Bristol, John Myers, James A. Armstrong, and Frederick DeWolf Smyth formed the Clinton Metallic Paint Company to make paints and mortar colors using the Clinton hematite iron ore which is mined almost at the doors of the factory. The plant covered a main building with three stories 60 by 40 feet and another 40 feet square. A storehouse measured 100 by 30 feet. Six mill stones ground the ore along with crushers and rollers to break it up. William M. Bristol left the firm in 1889 to form Bristol-Myers Pharmaceutical Co. on West Park Row with partner John R. Myers. Both were Hamilton College graduates, and today Bristol-Myers-Squibb continues to make drugs. The paint company owned and operated the last functioning iron ore mine in town on Brimfield Street just east of Dawes Avenue. It had bought out the interests of Mrs. C.A. Borst whose husband owned the mines between the 1890s and his death in 1918. Six to eight miners worked about 50-60 feet below the surface in the tunnels. An old Brockway truck during the 1950s hauled ore all day long between Brimfield Street and the Franklin Springs plant. Earlier a
spur from the New York and Ontario RR picked up the ore on Willow Hill (Brimfield Street) and delivered the iron ore to the plant. Edward B. Stanley became apart of the company in 1893, and Fred Carlson was the chemist in the 1920s. A change of the officers happened in 1947, when Bruce M. Bare became president and treasurer, Catherine Cowell, secretary. Local attorney O. Gregory Burns was a director of the company in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1946, C.K. Williams & Co. bought the Clinton Metallic Paint Co., and in 1962 Charles Pizer Company, a drug firm, bought the paint company. It closed the mines in December 1963, and the plant in 1964. This ended nearly 170 years of the iron ore industry here which employed 200300 men at times, but did suffer from the ups and downs of business cycles. One more footnote about the plant is needed. Clinton Laboratories was a firm owned by William Mahoney and Chipman Walker which was incorporated here in 1941 to make opthalmic powder. They were a small operation in one of the former Clinton Canning Co. buildings off McBride Avenue. After the paint mill closed, Clinton Labs moved to the old paint mill and closed at the death of Walker in 1973. Sculptor Jon von Burgen had a studio in a section of the paint mill when Clinton Labs was there. Now the newer Rhodes buildings are vacant with an “available” sign out front. Let’s watch to see what 21st century use can be found for this historic industrial site, one of the few remaining zoned for commercial use in the Town of Kirkland.
Past Issues 25 Years Ago January 17, 1990 St. Mary’s School celebrated Grand Color Day with teachers and students. Each class chose a color and taught lessons based around that color. At the end of the day, the classes came together to form a rainbow of ideas and shared what they had learned with each other. The Warriors boy’s basketball team extended their win streak to eight, and their home win streak to 10 as they continued to climb in the Tri-Valley League standings. They sat at second place prior to an imminent late season showdown versus the first place Notre Dame Jugglers. Clinton resident Buffie LaGasse was accepted as a member of the 1990 Spirit of America Marching Band tour of Europe. The two week tour was capped off with a private performance for the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Three Clinton Central High School students advanced to the finals of the Oneida County American Legion Oratorical Contest in Utica. Junior Anne Beevers, Junior Terry Facteau and Senior Jennifer Warner represented the Maroon and White and spoke on topics related to the U.S. Constitution. 50 Years Ago January 21, 1965
The Rhodes company moved in late 2014 to nearby Vernon.
Clinton Water Commissioner Donald W. Gorton reported to the Village Board on Thursday that there would be a slight delay in getting
the new wells on Sanford Avenue in operation. He noted that the recent extremely cold weather has delayed construction of the pump house. Mayor G. Harlan Lewis reported at the Village Board meeting last Thursday that he had met with representatives of the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation to outline the exact needs of the village for new mercury vapor street lighting. This will be placed in newly annexed areas along Utica Street and on Kirkland Avenue. School officials’ efforts at clarification of the use of school buildings by outside groups produced some unexpected problems last week. It was finally recommended that the matter be placed before the Board of Education as soon as possible so as to definitely place responsibility. Clinton’s Junior Chamber of Commerce has been named the top Jaycee organization in its district, according to an announcement made at the annual awards night on Jan. 14. President Ray Cooley said the local club had garnered 1,300 service points, against 900 for Utica and 750 for Whitestown. 75 Years Ago January 18, 1940 Whether the efforts of the Mothers' Club to have a stoplight erected at the intersection of College and Marvin streets is successful depends upon the result of a census taken by the state police this week. The troopers have been stationed at the corner in the morning when children are going to school, at noon and at the close of school in the afternoon. A pick-up truck operated by Charles Dziegel and a stone truck from the Oriskany Falls quarry collided on a curve of the Franklin Springs road early Wednesday morning. No injuries were sustained by either driver. This makes the third accident on that curve this winter. A report from the town welfare office states that nearly six tons of foodstuffs were distributed to needy families in the town last year. Clothing and bedding were also given out. Mortimer Norton of Earlville, formerly of this village, well-known sportsman and writer, has been engaged by the National Sportsman magazine to conduct a department for young people. It is called the “Junior Sportsmen.” 100 Years Ago January 20, 1915 The Clinton Grange recently moved into new quarters in the Taylor block and, among other improvements, installed tungsten lamps in place of the less efficient carbon lamps in the electric light fixtures. A short time later, the tungsten lamps had disappeared and the carbon lamps had been substituted. Now the Grangers are trying to find out who pinched the tungsten lamps. Henry Miller has leased his farm on Deansboro Road to Gifford Timian, who formerly operated the Grant Hill farm in the Town of Marshall. Miller and family will continue to reside on the farm. The Village trustees are not in favor of the idea of placing a bandstand in the village park. They say it would be an unsightly nuisance and that inquiry has shown that villages having bandstands in their parks would gladly be rid of them. The management of the Opera House has been having trouble on several occasions of late in maintaining order at the basketball games owing to the disruptive actions of certain young fellows. Quite lively “scraps” have occurred on two occasions.

Library Notes National Hobby Month By Meghan Milligan, Librarian, KTL
J
anuary is National Hobby Month. If you’re in a resolution state of mind, you may already be thinking about activities you may want to try or revive in 2015. If you are looking for a new pastime or to brush up on a former hobby, look to the Kirkland Town Library for inspiration and support. Juggling, photography, knitting, guitar, bonsai, antiquing, dancing, predicting the weather, and reading are just a few hobby ideas to get you started. Juggling: An unexpected meditation. “Pathways in Juggling: Learn How to Juggle with Balls, Clubs, Devil Sticks, Diabolos, and Beyond,” by Robert Irving and Mike Martins ((793.87IRV) Yes, juggling is a good way to make a goofy spectacle of oneself, but it can also be a rhythmic and contemplative exercise for mind and hands. “Pathways in Juggling” provides a good basis for beginner jugglers along with some showier moves for those that have already mastered the basics. Photography: Because your memories can be picture perfect! “The Unforgettable Photograph: 228 Ideas, Tips, and Secrets for Taking the Best Pictures of Your Life,” by George Lange with Scott Mowbray (770.1 LAN) This book is full of easily implemented tips for photographers at any skill level, using camera phones, point-and-shoot cameras, and highend cameras. Knitting: It’s cold out there and a scarf will keep your neck warm. “The Knit Stitch: Inspiration & Instruction,” by Sally Melville (746.432 MEL) Includes step-by-step, illustrated instructions to get the beginner knitter started and more involved projects to keep the intermediate knitter interested. Patterns range from scarves and sweaters to an “Einstein Coat,” bags, and a few items for kids. Guitar: You can be the star of any campfire sing-along! “Totally Guitar: The Definitive Guide,” by Tony Bacon and Dave Hunter ( 787.87 TOT) From guitar construction and maintenance to playing styles and advice, this richly illustrated tome has all of your guitar questions answered. Even if you have no interest in actually playing guitar, this book is full of neat tidbits and eye candy. Growing Bonsai: A more glamorous alternative to the average houseplant. “Bonsai Survival Manual: Tree-byTree Guide to Buying, Maintaining, and Problem Solving,” by Colin Lewis (635.977 LEW) Everything you need to know

I
t was standing room only at the Clinton Historical Society during their “Hops Growing In Central New York” presentation on Sunday afternoon. Matthew Urtz, a historian for Madison County, delivered a hourlong lecture on hops, a plant used primarily in the flavoring of beer, which had a major impact on Central New York. The discussion featured a powerpoint slideshow that took the large audience through the plant’s upstate history, which stretches back to the 1800s and will likely continue on long into the future. The local industry, Urtz explained, overcame a series of obstacles from both agricultural parasites and government interference during Prohibition. By the end of event, people seemed even more intrigued about hops
than when they first arrived, asking questions during a final Q&A section that stretched beyond the realms of history. Many wondered about the science of hops farming, and what environment and soil is best for them, which, Urtz admitted, wasn’t his specialty. Refreshments were served following the event. The Clinton Historical Society’s next event is titled “No Votes for Women,” featuring Susan Goodier, about the women’s suffrage movement in the area. Goodier is a scholar of U.S. women's activism from the period of the Civil War through World War I. The event will take place Sunday, Feb. 8, at 2 p.m. These events have proven popular, so arrive early to guarantee a seat. For more information, visit http://clintonhistory.org.
T
he annual Eagle Scout recognition dinner by the Revolutionary Trails Council honored 54 area Scouts. The event took place on Jan. 8, at Harts Hill Inn in Whitesboro, and three local Eagle Scouts were applauded. Adam Blanks and Graham Callaghan of Troop 9 and Nick Ashton of Troop 44 were recognized among the Eagle Scout Class of 2014 at the event. 34 Eagle Scouts were present at the dinner, including Blanks and Ashton. Because Troop 9 is disbanding due to low participation numbers, Blanks
and Callaghan will likely be the last Eagle Scouts that the organization will produce. Around 200 people attended the event to congratulate the new Eagle Scouts, who represented Oneida, Herkimer and Madison Counties. Eagle Scout Scott Leonard administered the Eagle pledge and Col. David Blanks, AFRL, delivered the keynote address, which emphasized the importance of focusing on a task and seeing it through to fruition. The turnout was a record breaker for the event.
COMETS (continued from page 1) AHL standings. Game tickets, pucks, pencils and a stick signed by the entire team were raffled away at the event. The Clinton Historical Society also provided old sticks, Burton’s game jersey and
several news clippings that were put on display throughout the Library. If you weren't able to make the event, you can view a video of the Q&A session and more photos at: http://clintoncourier.com.

A Fifth Grade Teacher Who Rocks and as an instructor. Every once and a while a tune will find its way into Pollock’s daily lesson plan. For that reason, he keeps a guitar in the classroom for such occasions. The students pick up on songs with simple melodies quickly, which makes music and singing lyrics work well as a learning tool with reading and for certain historical storylines. “When we do the western expansion of the U.S.A., there’s a lot of American folk songs that fit with that,” said Pollock. “Songs like [Oh My Darling,] Clementine,’ ‘Ballad of Billy the Kid,’ and ‘Orphan Train,’ all worked with [the students]. … There’s actually a lot you can do with American folk music.” As long as time allows with the regimented Common Core curriculum,
Clinton fifth grade teacher Adrian Pollock strums his guitar after school hours. He and his five-piece band, Tuesday Night Music Club, met largely through a parentteacher relationship. Written and Photographed by John Howard
A
fter many years of being a fan, music finally feels right under the fingertips of Clinton fifth grade teacher Adrian Pollock. The instructor, who in room 203 of an upstairs wing of the Elementary School goes by the name of “Mr. Pollock” during school hours, is one part of a local five-piece ensemble called Tuesday Night Music Club—or TNMC, for short. The group fell into place over time and currently gets together about once a week to rehearse, usually, as you might guess, on Tuesday evenings. “Tuesday night seemed to be the best night for us,” said Pollock. “Actually, my daughter picked that name out. We brainstormed a whole bunch of names a couple of years ago. … It’s almost like all the good names have been taken.” This Saturday, TNMC will play a show at 8 Fresh at 8 College St., from 6–8 p.m. TNMC plays rock mostly, though they’ll dabble in jazz and blues from time to time. They cover a range of bands starting with Radiohead and Greenday, and stretching all the way back to the early 1960s. Basically, said Pollock, they choose songs that sound good with their strengths. “There are some tunes we’d love to play,” he added, “but we just don’t have the range.” Pollock plays bass guitar in the group and sings backup vocals. Completing the rock quintet are Tim Converse (vocals and guitar), Dave Bailey (drums), David Bell (vocals and keys), and Nathan Goodale (guitar, bass and vocals). Out of the five, three live in Clinton— Bell, Bailey and Goodale, all of whom are either faculty or staff members at Hamilton College. Pollock, Converse and Bailey have Quality Counts! Where

been playing together for more than 10 years. TNMC is a rather informal setup and no one really went out of their way to put it together. Even today, the group only plays a handful of gigs per year. The group came together fluidly, and over a fairly loose timeline. A lot of it, oddly enough, had to do with Pollock’s fifth grade classroom. A teacher going on his 25th year at Clinton Central School, Pollock had taught some of the group members’ children. The guys got to talking and one thing led to another. Soon, the parents and the teacher were playing together in a space on the Hill and putting certain arrangements together. “They knew that I played the guitar in the classroom,” said Pollock. “It wasn’t really a band. It was more a jam—a practice season.” When it came time to get a little more serious in terms of playing gigs, the group looked to Carmen Caramanica, a New Hartford teacher where several members were taking lessons, to fill in missing musical parts. Though he was previously trained on piano, Pollock didn’t pick up the guitar until after he turned 40. He enjoys what the new musical outlet has given him, both as a performer

Pollock said tries to make a point to pull out the classroom guitar about once a week, usually on Friday afternoons. Just like the kids anticipating the weekend, Pollock and his bandmates find release in the music they play. While they’ll probably never get around to writing their own original material, for the group members, TNMC has proven to be all that the happenstance group title proclaims it to be: an excuse to get together and rock. “We all played earlier in our lives,” said Pollock. “And, for one reason or another, whether it was graduate school, families, jobs… we didn’t get the time. Now that we’re older, we’ve all come back to it.”

Teacher Talk: Reflections on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. By Debby Hepburn
I
h av e
loved Dr. King for decades; admired a n d mourned h i m ; spoken passionately to my classes in tribute to him; played Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” for them before and after his federal holiday became official; watched documentary footage and listened to the mellifluous beauty of his majestic voice soaring with the incandescent and transcendent messages of love and peace and interconnection with all of humanity. His words always fill me with a hopeful reassurance that goodness will always triumph over evil, its pernicious adversary. For goodness is a creative construction inclusive of everyone, a living idealism that treasures life and focuses on a caring, respectful appreciation for each individual with the belief that at our best, human beings love each other and work together to achieve a better world. Equality and human rights are at the core of goodness, while dignity and empathy instruct the intellect, infusing the heart, soul and conscience to deepen that core. There is so much more to goodness than to its opposing force of evil, for goodness affirms life while evil destroys it. As the quintessential avatar of goodness, Dr. King has always been my inspirational icon, my beloved hero, who elevates and enlightens through his words and his actions, and who stands on the loftiest pedestal in the pantheon of the greatest human beings who have ever lived. I was a junior in high school on
April 4, 1968, when Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis, and today, as I watched the splendid film “Selma,” Dr. King was alive again, a real, mortal human being with a family who loved and missed him when he was away from home as he so often was, a man of incredible courage and fierce determination as well as man who disappoints himself with his imperfections and failings. I cried with a broken heart as I saw the brutal success of “Selma” and the price exacted by the vicious racists of Alabama, so moved by the extraordinary accomplishment that precipitated the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but so tragically aware of what would happen to Martin three years later. Director Ava DuVernay has given a magnificent birthday gift to Dr. King and to the world, just in time for what would have been his 86th birthday on Jan. 15, 2015. Imagine Dr. King at 86; what would the world have been like with Nelson Mandela and Dr. King alive for decades, two Nobel laureates who effected powerful change through nonviolent acts? Imagine Dr. King meeting the youngest Nobelist Malala Yousafzai— how he would have adored her. Imagine Coretta and Martin with their four children Yolanda, Martin III, Dexter, and Bernice, growing old together for the past 47 years. “Selma” honors the contributions of so many men and women, some wellknown and others less so, but all are now immortalized forever, while Dr. King regains his daily and momentous life, reminding and reaffirming for the viewer why he stands on the mountaintop of American history. How did DuVernay do this? The most important member of an outstanding ensemble is David Oyelowo, whose stunning portrayal conveys the colossal intellectual and emotional strength and character of Dr. King
through a meticulous mélange of voice, stance and eye contact that rivets the audience, searing viscerally into each of us. Oyelowo becomes King, inhabiting his moral universe; I could literally see, hear, and feel King’s presence in his every word, his every gesture, and yet it is Oyelowo’s own interpretation of Dr. King so vibrantly alive on the screen. He conveys the profound consequences of every decision made by Dr. King with a palpable awareness that we experience through his sublime Oscar-worthy performance. The transformational power of Dr. King’s oratory is legendary; the consummate wordsmith whose luminous language and impassioned rhetoric, both written and spoken, cascades across the page and resonates in our aural memories, Dr. King moves us today in 2015, just as he did in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965, challenging our individual and national conscience. His lyrical eloquence draws our ears to his essential messages and touches our spirits through a musical cadence and poetic prose passionately delivered by a moral statesman and oratorical artist extraordinaire. Here are the words he spoke in Montgomery on the steps of the state capitol building on March 25, 1965, after the march from Selma successfully concludes: “…Selma, Alabama, became a shining moment in the conscience of man … Let us therefore continue our triumph and march to the realization of the American dream … Let us march on ballot boxes until all over Alabama God’s children will be able to walk the earth in decency and honor … So as we go away this afternoon, let us go away more than ever before committed to the struggle and committed to nonviolence … Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man but to win his friendship and
understanding. We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience. That will be the day not of the white man, not of the black man. That will be the day of man as man.” “Our God Is Marching On!” from the book “A TESTAMENT OF HOPE: The Essential Writings of Martin Luther King, Jr.” (1986). There is a beautiful South African word “ubuntu,” which Alan Paton has defined as “the quality of humaneness, the quality of human beings when they are at their brightest and best” (“Ah, But Your Land is Beautiful,” p.62). Dr. King possessed and exuded ubuntu, successfully inspiring others to embody it, as his great hero Gandhi did, as Nelson Mandela did, as Malala Yousafzai and the finest among us do. This is another of his living legacies, for ubuntu derives from leading a committed life, a life devoted to giving the best parts of yourself, thereby adding to the collective goodness of humanity and vanquishing the ignorance, hatred and evil that separates and dehumanizes us. Goodness strengthens and ennobles individuals and institutions by its very nature, serving as a catalyst for necessary change. Inspired by Dr. King, let us recommit ourselves in his name to fully enact his glorious vision of an America that honors his love and sacrifice, reflecting his inclusive and radiantly beautiful belief in the nobility and ubuntu of each one of us.

High School Transitions to Google Chrome
THE CLINTON COURIER 9
Capital Project Inches Forward During Winter Freeze
By Staff
By John Howard
A
t the start of the school year, High School Principal Matthew Lee said that he hoped to eventually transition the entire school to Google Chrome, and it seems like the program is on its way. Earlier this month, Lee gave a presentation to the Board of Education on the use of Google Chromebooks and Google Apps, and how the School is beginning to integrate both into the classroom. According to the District’s library staff, at least 30 percent of students are opting for Google Docs over Microsoft Word when writing papers, allowing them to do electronic peerto-peer editing and integrate with Brainhoney, the District’s electronic educational infrastructure. The School is partnering with BOCES to implement Chromebooks, a Google brand laptop that is powered by a web browser-based operating system, in the classroom. Already, High School history and foreign language classes are using the Chromebooks, and teachers
have noticed an increase in student involvement and the ability to explore cultures virtually. Amie Johnson, a Spanish teacher, noted during the presentation that she was seeing students who might normally be shy in the classroom become more involved with activities through the video and chat tools available on the Chromebooks. Another benefit to the Chromebooks both Lee and Johnson pointed out is it allows the students to be virtually paperless on assignments. Though there is a printer available to students if needed, the students rarely use it. Again thanks to the collaborative nature of Google Apps, students can share documents virtually for peer editing and review instead of printing them out. Eventually, Lee would like to move to a 1-to-1 computing ratio, where students are versed in at least two operating systems and teachers are more technologically literate so lessons will benefit from new, 21st century tools in the classroom.
New Entry Policy in
Middle and High School By Staff
F
or security reasons, all visitors to the Middle and High School buildings must now check in first with the District Office, accessible from the Chenango Avenue parking lot. A special office has been assembled to sign visitors in and out of the buildings. The new policy is one of several recent steps the campus has made
to ensure student and faculty safety on the campus. Other steps include installing new electronic card access at several entryways and replacing old, traditional locks. Visitors to the Elementary School can still access the building’s doorbell system at the main entrance.
T
he frigid temperatures have halted work on the Clinton Middle School tower, which sits capped by a black tarp, but the capital project which funded the work is still moving forward. Currently out for bid is Phase B of the project, which will include a new and improved bus loop, a box culvert for waterflow of the St. Mary’s Brook underneath a section of the bus loop, roof work, cafeteria work, updates to the football and track stadium and further flood mitigation of the athletic fields. The capital project was divided into two parts due to a slow approval process at the state level which led to timeline problems. Construction on the tower began mid-September to remove and replace deteriorated cast stone and other masonry elements. The work was awarded to National Building and Restoration for the amount of $320,100. At the top of the tower, the plan was to remove precast stone veneer and brick back-up down to the existing concrete deck. Once work commenced, additional deterioration was discovered behind the roof to masonry flashings. National recommended repairing stonework an additional level down and an additional phase to the masonry work was tacked on to the project. The District and National are still negotiating, but a rough estimate puts the new costs in the range of $50– 80,000. Initially, Superintendent Stephen Grimm and Assistant Superintendent for Business Joseph Barretta had said that enough money was built into the
project to cover the additional costs, and that still seems to be the case. “We have contingencies in case we run into problems like this,” said Barretta. “We’re still waiting for an exact cost … We’re trying to do what makes the most sense for the School and the taxpayers.” Built into National’s bid was a allowance of $30,000 and the District had allotted an an additional $25,000 for unexpected costs. According to Barretta, the District also saved money on the overall capital project when an asbestos abatement project handled by Two Brothers Contracting came in under budget. The tower work is scheduled to resume in the spring, with the brunt of Phase B starting when students leave campus for summer break. To fund Phase A of the capital project, the District borrowed $3 million. It will borrow close to the remainder of the total $7.5 million budget to finish the project this summer. Prior to the new capital project, the District was paying principal and interest payments on two other building projects, including the theater construction project, which is currently projected to be paid off in 2019. Barretta is expected to give a revenue and expense projection summary for the remainder of the 2014–15 school year at the next Board of Education meeting on Jan. 27. Compared to previous years, he said, “we’re doing pretty well so far.” Bids for Phase B will be opened on Jan. 22, and will be read and accepted at the Jan. 27th meeting.

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.

Ellen B. Buck, 89
Kirkland Police Blotter
Ellen Beatrice Buck, 89, passed away on Ja n u a r y 9, 2015, with her loving family by her side. She was a breast cancer survivor. After dealing with colon cancer, God decided it was time to bring her home. She was born the daughter of Benjamin and Cecilia Burdon Hughes on June 17, 1925, in Utica. She grew up on Weaver Street and Trenton Avenue in North Utica. She met her husband, Lee Buck at a dance at the May Fair which is now called the Maennerchor. Six months later they were married in a snow storm on January 9, 1954. Ellen began her career as an office worker but once she got married, she dedicated her life to being a housewife and did so lovingly. Her easy going personality and sense of humor made her the Lucille Ball of the family. In the beginning of her marriage she spent a lot of time doing laundry with a wringer washer. As years went on she enjoyed going to the Laundromat. Not only did she enjoy doing her laundry there, she enjoyed the different people she met there from all walks of life. Outside of her family, her mainstay in life was being a parishioner of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Clark Mills. She was on the Altar Guild, the Women’s Guild, the Vestry and was a Sunday School teacher. Her best friends there were Alice Morris and Norah Kick. The church people were like family to her. In the past she was a member of the Clark Mills Fireman’s Auxiliary. Currently, she was a member of the Kirkland Senior Citizens and the Clark Mills Historical Society. She is survived by her husband, Lee M. Buck, after 61 years of marriage. Her daughter, with whom she shared a close bond, Linda Lee Buck of Whitesboro and her granddaugghter Lucinda Ashley Buck of Clifton Park. She is survived by her son and his wife, Glenn and Linda Sue Buck of Lynchburg, Virginia. Also, her niece Jacqueline (Thomas) Lapertosa and their children, Franchesco, Maria, Lauren and Cecilia. Her nephews, David Hughes and Kevin (Lisa) Hughes and their children, Gabriella, Jordan and Olivia. She was predeceased by an infant daughter, Donna Jean, her parents, and two brothers, Robert (Ann) Hughes and James Hughes. We would be amiss if we didn’t mention her wonderful neighbors, the McCabes, Citrins, Chandlers, Sonia Teuchert and her family. She was blessed to be surrounded by such good people. We would like to thank all the staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Also Dr. Kandiah and Dr. Sullivan who treated her like she was their own mother, and the staff of the Gordon Wing of the Lutheran Home. All were kind and compassionate. All are invited to call Wednesday, January 14, from 3-6 p.m. at OwensPavlot & Rogers Funeral Service, Inc., 35 College St., Clinton.

THE CLINTON COURIER 15
Volleyball Overcomes Losing Streak, Wins in Fifth Set we saw them,” she said. “This time I think we’ve gotten better offensively. Our offensive players are very young, so it’s going to take time.” The Warriors feature only two seniors on their 12-player-roster. As a result, Clinton gets steady contributions from their younger players. The team’s top-two leaders in kills and assists per game are sophomores, and their leader in digs per game is also a 10th-grader. Austin said she is optimistic about her young team because the more experience they get together, the better they will play in the future. Next for the Warriors is an away contest against the SherburneEarlville Marauders at 7 p.m. on Jan 16.

he Warriors girls volleyball team snapped their seven-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over Owen D. Young at home on Jan. 8. The Maroon and White have now swept the season series against the Wildcats, and their overall record now sits at 3-7. Sophomore middle hitter Emma Storey had nine kills, two blocks and one dig, and sophomore setter Alexis Racioppa tallied 19 assists, five digs, three aces and one kill to cap off the comeback win. Clinton took the first set 25-16, then dropped the next two sets by scores of 25-16 and 25-18. Now down two sets to one, the Warriors battled back and won the next two sets 25-21 and 25-
23 respectively to earn the win. The fifth set featured two ties - at 15 and 22 points. After the win, Clinton head coach Melissa Austin said she was pleased with her team’s resiliency. “They had a never die attitude, which is what they have to have,” she said. “They’re improving and that’s really all you can ask for at this time. I’m thrilled with how they played and how they got down but didn’t quit.” The Warriors were hosted by the Wildcats earlier this season and earned a 3-1 victory. Austin said both teams have made noticeable improvements since they last met on Dec. 1. “I think Owen D. Young played a lot better than they did the first time

he Hamilton men’s basketball team (10-4, 0-2) dropped their first two conference games of the season last weekend at Scott Field House. The Continentals fell to Amherst (9-2, 1-0) 93-86 on Friday, Jan. 9, and on the following day they were defeated by Trinity College (12-2, 2-0) 60-51. After the weekend’s games, Hamilton currently sits in 10th place out of 11 total teams in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). Against Amherst, senior guard Joseph Lin scored 16 points and recorded a season-high 16 assists along with three steals in a losing effort. Junior forward Ajani Santos added 16 points with seven rebounds and two blocks for the Continentals. Amherst averages the second most points scored per game in the NESCAC at 77.2. Head coach Adam Stockwell said his team’s effort to match the Lord Jeffs’ explosiveness on offense wasn’t enough to give them the win. “Amherst is talented and can score 100 [points] on any given night,” he said. “We tried to go toe-to-toe with them but unfortunately came up a little short.” Next, Hamilton hosted Trinity College. Lin scored a season-high 27 points and added six assists, two rebounds and two steals against the Bantams. Santos chipped in 13 points, five rebounds, four blocks and two steals. The Bantams boast a stingy defense that is allowing the second fewest points to opponents at a measly 61.6 points per contest. They also lead the conference in defensive personal fouls per game at 21.5. The runner up is more than 2 fouls behind. Stockwell said Hamilton missed a few open shots late in the game that caused them to leave in defeat on Saturday. “Trinity is the exact opposite [of Amherst], where they would like to see us score zero and they’d only have to score two,” he said. “We had some great opportunities in the second half to score and we had some really good looks that we didn’t make, and that ended up being the difference in the game.” With 10 games remaining in the regular season, the Continentals have just under a month to move up in the NESCAC before the championship tournament in February. Eight of those games come against division opponents. The top-eight seeded teams in the conference will move on to the NESCAC Basketball
Championship and the winner will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Division-III Championship. Stockwell said he isn’t worried about the team’s flat start to open conference play. “It’s not that big of a deal for us,” he said. “We’ve evaluated the film and we wanted the wins. We can look at it and understand why we didn’t get the wins and try to correct those areas which we’ve been doing here the past few days.” Next, Hamilton travels to Maine to take on two more NESCAC teams. First they play Colby College (9-5, 2-0) at 7 p.m. on Jan. 16, and then they take on Bowdoin College (9-4, 1-1) at 3 p.m. on the following day. MODEL UN (continued from page 1) Roberts at the start of the weekend. “For these kids, this is like the Super Bowl.” Clinton’s Model UN students represented three different countries at the event—Chile, Belarus and Canada. Throughout the two-day event, students were divided into committees and asked to develop and pass resolutions based on certain world issues. This organization doesn’t attract passive participants. With each student splitting off into different committees, they can rely only on themselves during the group discussions of political issues. The catch is that they have to represent their country’s particular interests, not their own personal views. In short, that means a lot of preparation and research on policies, which, as an extracurricular activity, can seem a bit daunting. “Kids think it sounds too much like school,” said High School social studies teacher Kathleen Glickman, who serves as an advisor to the group. “Once they go, though, it’s much more competitive than they thought and it’s more about public speaking.” That was certainly true for Mark Lewis, a sophomore who was a rookie going into the Syracuse University conference this weekend. “I liked it because it was a nice balance between being really serious and actually discussing world issues and then being a little more lighthearted at the end when you can have more fun,” said Lewis. “But people are very serious. They take their issues very seriously.” Many who had been to other conferences described the Syracuse environment as the best Model UN event they had been to. Clinton’s Model UN participates in about three, multi-school conferences per year. After Syracuse, they hope to go to one more by June. The conferences not only brings together school districts, but also age groups—from freshmen to seniors. Because of the popularity of the SU event, committee numbers grew as large as 100 members—a large group for anyone to speak in front of, let alone on a topic and perspective you only just started learning about. “I had about 70 people on my committee,” said Amara Rojo, a senior and president of Clinton’s Model UN. With ten Model UN conferences under her belt, Rojo is a seasoned veteran when it comes to negotiating. She said when people are speaking to fellow driven students, you find out really quickly who didn’t do their research. But all the work that goes into not being that person has its payoffs. “It’s worth it when you can pull out some facts that nobody else sees coming about their country you found out about while doing your research,” said Rojo. “So, you slam them for not doing their research.”

Warrior Goaltending ‘Filling the Bill’
While they’re four years apart in age, senior Joe Bonanza (left) and eighth grader Brian Saunders (right) complement each other well as the starting and backup goalies. Written and Photographed by John Howard
G
earing up for a final eight league game run, varsity hockey’s goaltending might be the best thing the team has going for it. Even before the final roster was decided upon at the start of the season, players and coaches alike predicted that the goalie category was going to one of the program’s greatest assets. This weekend, during a two-day trip up to the Adirondacks, the talents of senior Joe Bonanza and eighth grader Brian Saunders were on display. In the two games, the goaltenders fielded a total of 50 shots, sending back 44 of them. Each goaltender allowed three goals. “They’re filling their bill,” said head coach John Hughes. “They’re holding up their end of the bargain.” The Warriors opened the weekend up north with a Friday night game at the Saranac Lake Civic Center, where they skated against a very young Red Storm team. Clinton was far superior in skill, but struggled to bury the puck early. Saunders kept the team competitive before they could find their rhythm and pull away with a strong third period performance that yielded 4 goals. Standing at 5 feet 3 inches, and weighing in at 105 pounds, there’s a lot of net behind Saunders for him to cover. He lacks Bonanza’s dominating frame, but he stands confident in the net against players who are as many as four years his senior. The Saranac Lake matchup was Saunders’ second official game of the season. He had also split time on the ice with Bonanza in a home scrimmage
against the Salmon River Shamrocks, where he stopped every shot that found its way to the crease. His other official varsity game was earlier this season against Ithaca, where he allowed 9 goals against. Considering he tallied nearly 50 saves, that performance was also impressive. Watching from the team box, Bonanza said that Saunders had played a good game against the Ithaca Little Red, though he wished that the team’s defense could have done more with limiting shots. “He just didn’t have much support,” said Bonanza. That support, he added, has been one of the team’s biggest challenges of the year from his perspective. By the Saranac Lake game, Clinton’s defense seemed to have had adjusted, limiting the Red Storm to 20 shots. Saunders allowed a goal per period, earning a 6-3 win. At his age, it is presumed that he is the youngest varsity goalie to secure a solo victory for the Warriors in the program’s 89year history. “It was a good experience for him, I think,” said Hughes. “He’s a real happy-go-lucky kid, which is a good personality to have for a goalie.” Following the Saranac Lake win, Clinton went on to face a strong Lake Place team at the 1932 rink in the Olympic Center, where they fell 3-0. The Warriors struggled to produce offensive opportunities. Bonanza was tested throughout the course of the competition and came up big throughout. Going into the first intermission, he had held the Blue
Bombers to zero goals. Eventually, though, Lake Placid would chip away at his force field with precision passing that led to unstoppable scoring chances. As of the start of the week, Bonanza had tallied 206 saves on the season, stopping 87 percent of the shots he faced. His greatest asset, perhaps more so than his ability to consistently stop pucks, is his work ethic and commitment to winning. The Warriors have now concluded their non-league play. From here on out, as the team looks ahead to the sectional playoffs on the horizon, every competition is important and they’ll need all their engines—not just their goalies—humming. With their net protectors performing well, the team has turned their focus on scoring since the Lake Placid loss, with 80 percent of their practices devoted to shooting drills. “We’re a little snake bitten, but it was a good weekend overall,” Hughes said at the beginning of the week. “We just have to start putting some pucks in the net.” TRACK (continued from page 1) though, so in a sense the playing field was level, and the Warriors' coach tends to like problem solving. “You can’t win without a little help from the other teams,” said head coach Norm Deep. “It’s like a chess game and you’ve got to put all the right pieces together, and you’ve got to hope that all the right people perform.” For the majority of the competition, Clinton trailed on the leaderboard. At certain points they were as low as fourth place. It wasn’t until a last minute effort in key events that the boys secured a comfortable lead. As favorites going into the all-important meet, it was a tense environment to perform in. Two second-place finishes, Jon Kulpa in the 1600-meter run and Nick Williams in the long jump, helped the boys’ score by 16 points alone. Sparked by Williams’ 17-11.50 long jump leap, the Warriors took off in the field events. In the high jump, Clinton’s Max Huckaby, Enzo Cicchinelli and Carlos Espinal earned the second, third and fourth-place finishes with heights of 5-feet 6-inches. Ahead of junior Diego Rojo and senior Kulpa, who together earned 42 points, senior Liam Pierce led the team in scoring, adding 30 points to the team’s tally. Deep called Pierce’s performance

throughout the day “instrumental” to the team’s win. In the three events he was selected to compete in, he earned three first places. He started his day with the 55-meter hurdles, which he won with a time of 8.65 seconds, only one of two runners to break the 9-second mark. Actually, he said, it wasn’t even his best effort. “For hurdles, I was hoping to run a little faster than I did,” said Pierce. “I still won, but my time wasn’t as fast as I wanted it to be.” Pierce’s best event is the pole vault, in which he also earned a first-place finish and 10 points for the team. He’s been competing in that event since freshman year. His height on the winning vault was 12 feet and he hopes to improve that to 13 feet in the few remaining competitions of the season, both to qualify for States and to chase down a school record. It was in the triple jump where Pierce’s contribution made the biggest waves. Going into the event, his personal best was a distance of 36-feet 3-inches, but he jumped 38feet 6-inches, a more than 2-foot improvement. In an event where inches make up the difference, the distance boost was substantial. “I didn’t expect to jump that far,” said Piece. “That was a surprise, but I’ll take it.” The boys totaled 145.5 points for the win, their 13th-straight league title. West Canada took second place and Dolgeville and Herkimer came in third and fourth. For the Clinton girls team, the competition was tilted in their favor from the start. With a squad stacked with talent, had half of their athletes called in sick, or decided to run their events backwards, they could have still managed a win. As it would play out, everyone would show up and everyone wanted to win. The girls ended the day with 229 points. The second-place spot, which was awarded to West Canada, only earned 74. Larger, independently competing schools couldn’t even come close to their total. The girls were led on the scoreboard by seniors Alayna Lofgren, with three wins and 30 points, and Rylee Meelan, with 26 points. Lofgren competed and won in the 55-meter hurdles, the triple jump and the high jump. Meelan earned first places in the 55-meter dash and the shot put, a rather unfamiliar category for her. Senior Nina Salerno, who came in just behind Meelan with 24 points, had the performance of the day in the 55-meter hurdles. After battling with Mount Markham sprinter Ashley Rohacek in the brief but intense race, Salerno stepped over the finish line .01 seconds ahead of her opponent, earning the second-place spot in the event behind her teammate Lofgren. “I was definitely trying to keep up with [Lofgren] so that I could get the second place and the 8 points for our team,” said Salerno. “It was a strong race for me.” Salerno also surprised her team with a victory in the weight throw, tossing the 20-pound weight over 27 feet for first place. With their speed on the track, seniors Emma Short and Jenny Maxam, a new addition to the squad this year, also contributed 24 points to the team. Looking ahead, the two squads won’t advance to Sectionals until the beginning of February. They will compete in a special field events meet at MVCC on Thursday, and other sporadic events until the section final. With a front-loaded schedule, both teams tend to peak early, so staying fresh as the season winds down and indoor track time becomes limited will prove to be their biggest challenge. “It leaves us kind of rusty going into Sectionals,” said Deep. “We’ve got to do everything we can to stay in shape for another two or three weeks.”
