Girls track wins regular-season league title

ON TOP AGAIN: The Cazenovia girls track and field team completed an undefeated regular season last Wednesday when it defeated Marcellus 96-45, achieving 41 season-best efforts along the way.

by Kurt Wheeler The Cazenovia girls track and field team capped an undefeated regular season with a 96-45 victory over Marcellus last Wednesday

to capture the OHSL LibertyCentral division title.

Taking advantage of the best weather of the season, the Lakers achieved 41 season bests and 8 new sectional qualifying stan-

dards during the meet.

Grace Dolan led the squad with two individual event wins and roles on two winning relays.

She won her signature 400 meter event with a 1:02.7 effort, just

0.3 seconds off her season best, and returned to run a career-best time of 27.0 to win the 200-meter dash. She also ran strong legs on both the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays.

Katie Whitney added a victory in the 100 at 13.3 seconds and anchored the 4x100 to its winning time of 53.6 while also scoring in the 200. Melanie Michael continTrack l Page 3

Reservations for June ‘Camping at the Art Park’ now open

Martin Hogue

For four consecutive weekends in June, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park is inviting visitors to camp out on four sites selected by visiting artist Martin Hogue.

By kate Hill This spring, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park (SQHAP) is once again giving the public the opportunity to camp among the sculptures and enjoy the park at night.

Located at 3883 Stone Quarry Road in Cazenovia, SQHAP offers a unique environment for artists to create and exhibit their work in natural and gallery settings. It also provides space for the community to explore and appreciate the natural world and interact with art and artists.

Reservations for “Camping at the Art Park” are now open for every weekend in June.

Campsite reservations include Friday and Saturday nights and cost $50/weekend. Up to two tents and six people are permitted per campsite (no RVs or campers).

Camping at the Art Park was first proposed by SQHAP visiting artist Martin Hogue in June 2017 as a temporary installation to broaden the range of experiences available to visitors.

With the park already open 365 days a year from dawn to dusk, Hogue saw the addition of camping as a unique way for visitors to spend 48 uninterrupted hours within the park landscape.

Additionally, as they tend to their campsites and interact with fellow campers, the campers themselves become part of the art on display for other visitors to experience.

“Camping at the Art Park is part performance, part sculpture, part outdoor adventure, and at its core, it’s a lot of fun,” said ​SQHAP CEO Emily Zaengle. “It makes visible the practices and customs so inherent to camp-

ing. Campsites and the way each camper arranges their tent and gear become part of the art at the park.”

Hogue is an associate professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at Cornell University.

Trained as an architect and landscape architect, Hogue has been researching the topic of camping for several years.

His most recent work, which centers around camping culture in the US, examines the discrepancies between the American ideal of ruggedness and independence and the desire for an increasingly sophisticated range of Artpark l Page 11

This spring, Eye Love Optical Boutique in Cazenovia is celebrating its first anniversary.

Shawna Clarke, owner and operator of Eye Love, has been a New York State Licensed Optician for over 15 years, working in retail, medical care, and now her own practice.

Clarke said the decision to go out on her own was inspired by a desire to provide the best possible care to her customers.

“After years of watching big-box retailers force their way into the optical industry, I felt that people deserved better,” she said. “They deserved better than the limited options and poor quality of the eyewear and lenses available at most retail locations. They deserved to look incredible, feel great about themselves, and enjoy the best vision possible by [being offered] the highest-quality frames, lenses, and coatings on the market, regardless of brand.”

Clarke is also an advocate of independent eyewear manufacturers, which, she explained, have been pushed out of the market by the rise of large conglomerates.

“Eye Love is a place where customers can find the most unique, bold, beautiful, independent eyewear on the planet,” she said. “We sell eyewear as unique and as beautiful as the customers who buy from us, and that is what lights me up every day.”

The entrepreneur is also a mother to Kayla, 23, Liam, 10, and Cameron, 7.

Clarke recalled that after years of commuting 30 to 40 minutes each way to work, she felt robbed of her time with her children. Ul-

“I knew that if I were to open my own business it would be here, in our hometown of Cazenovia,” she said. “The location of my boutique allows my children to visit, help at the store, and be an active part of its success.”

According to Clarke, her children have played prominent roles in the Eye Love story since the beginning — helping with everything from deciding on the business name, logo, and store concept, to renovating the retail space.

“The whole family helped out with drywall, flooring, painting, new counters, shelving, lighting, you name it,” she said. “. . . The kids have been part of it all, and it fills my

heart for them to experience firsthand the hard work and dedication it takes to open and sustain your own business. It’s been one of the best educations I could imagine for them.”

Although Clarke had been seriously considering opening her own business for years, she held off until the right opportunity presented itself.

When the space at 1 Lincklaen St. became available, she decided to take the leap.

According to Clarke, the space was the perfect size, location, and layout for her needs, and although she knew it would require some work, she could envision her future boutique.

The only problem, she recalled, was the timing.

Claire Braaten also ran a season best of 2:33.1 to lead off the relay with Nadia Segall and Kate Millson adding to the win.

“The response has been phenomenal,” said Clarke. “I’ve been so proud to serve my community and outfit men and women with some of the most beautiful and unique eyeglasses around. It’s been a blessing on so many levels.”

In addition to serving her customers, Clarke has also found satisfaction in being part of the Cazenovia business community.

The jazziest Jazz Fest ever!

36th Syracuse Jazz Festival blends bebop, funk & fusion downtown, June 23-25

By Russ Tarby Contributing Writer

L

ast staged five years ago in 2017 at Onondaga Community College, the Syracuse Jazz Festival is back in 2022, and it will return to downtown Syracuse, June 23, 24 and 25. As usual, admission will be free.

“Jazz Fest is moving back downtown to Clinton Square Friday and Saturday and at area night spots on Thursday,” said founder and artistic director Frank Malfitano, one of Central NY’s most prominent impresarios. This year will mark the festival’s first time back downtown after 20 years at other venues.

Malfitano is especially proud of this year’s jazz-centric programming.

“In order to grow festival audiences to attract sponsors, many jazz festivals have been forced to veer away from programming jazz, the music they’re supposed to

be representing,” he said. “But this year Syracuse Jazz Fest has returned to its jazz roots in a big way with 28 of our 30 acts, artists and groups being 100 percent jazz.”

When Clinton Square hosted the Syracuse Jazz Fest in the 1990s, it drew thousands of people each year. That scenario is likely to be repeated as the main-stage headliners feature saxophonist David Sanborn’s Electric Band, pioneering bebop vocalist Sheila Jordan and the Scottish funk septet the Average White Band on Friday.

And on Saturday, Louisiana’s Zydeco Cha-Chas take the stage before Massachusetts saxophonist Boney James followed by former 5th Dimension singers Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. The festival was last staged at Clinton Square in 2000, when headliners Ray Charles, Dave Brubeck, Pete Fountain and Diana Krall drew an overflow crowd estimated at more than 35,000.

New York State 127th District Assemblyman Al Stirpe was among them.

Downtown venues will be hoppin’ on opening night

More than 100 local musicians and groups including national recording artists Nancy Kelly, Ronnie Leigh and Bob Holz & A Vision Forward will perform on opening night as part of this year’s Syracuse Jazz Fest on Thursday, June 23 in downtown Syracuse.

Twenty CNY-based jazz groups will be showcased at 20 different venues that day to kick off this year’s festival.

“The Syracuse jazz scene has so much incredible talent, we wanted to do everything we could to showcase our homegrown stars at Jazz Fest 36 for all of the out-of-town visitors and guests who will be coming in from all over the U.S. and Canada,” said festival Director Frank Malfitano. “Syracuse has had so many great jazz musicians and artists over the years, and they all deserve to be seen and heard by a wider audience. With more than 100 Syracuse jazz artists appearing on our stages and thousands of visitors expected to attend, this year’s programming may prove to be our finest ever.”

Participating opening-night venues include the Press Room Pub, Pastabilities, The Fitz, Mulrooney’s, Benjamin’s on Franklin, Clinton Street Pub, Saltine Warrior, Tasting Room at Epicuse, Modern Malt, The Gilded Club, Kitty Hoyne’s, Funk’n’Waffles, Wunderbar, The Weighlock Lounge, Bar and Board, Redfield’s, King of Clubs, The Corner Bar, Kasai and the grand mezzanine of the Landmark Theatre; syracusejazzfest.com Eagle Newspapers entertainment writer Russ Tarby recommends: 4 p.m. Joe Davoli’s Hot Club of Syracuse at Kitty Hoyne’s.

5 p.m. The DiCosimo-Pagan Latin Jazz at Wunderbar.

6 p.m. The Carol Bryant Quartet at The Gilded Club.

7 p.m. E.S.P. at The Corner Bar 8 p.m. Jeff Stockham’s Jazz Horn Legacy Sextet at the Press Room Pub 9 p.m. The Jazz Mafia at King of Clubs.

Saxophonist David Sanborn fronts his Electric Band at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 24 the Syracuse Jazz Festival’s main stage in Clinton Square.

“The best thing I can remember from years ago when I used to come to Jazz Fest downtown was how many people would be here visiting after the shows,” Stirpe said April 19 as Malfitano announced this year’s headliners.

“They’d go to the bars and restaurants,” Stirpe said. “There’d be more music there.

Everybody stayed downtown for a long time, spent a lot of money and I think that’s really the best thing we can do right now.”

Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse have each pledged $125,000 to support this year’s 36th ever festival, and Malfitano also secured another $150,000 for a new presenting sponsor, Amazon.com.

“We couldn’t possibly be more grateful to New York state, Onondaga County, the City of Syracuse, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and Amazon for bringing Syracuse Jazz

Fest back to downtown Syracuse this June,” Malfitano said. “We’re all thrilled to see this longtime Syracuse summertime tradition coming back, and that would simply not have been possible without Amazon’s support.”

Bebop vocalist Sheila Jordan, 93, inspired

by Charlie Parker; sings here June 24.

When Sheila Dawson dropped a nickel in the juke box of a Detroit diner in the late 1940s and listened to “Now’s the Time” by Charlie Parker’s Reboppers, she was instantly hooked -- and so began her 70-plus-years jazz journey.

Working primarily with Black musicians, she met with disapproval from the white community but persisted with her career.

Mitch and Jean (she was Jean), who sang versions of Parker’s solos in a manner akin to that of the vocalese trio, Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. After moving from Detroit to New York in the early 1950s, Dawson married Parker’s pianist, Duke Jordan, and studied with improvising pianist Lennie Tristano, but it was not until the early 1960s that she made her first recordings. One of these was under her own name, the other was “The Outer View” with George Russell, which featured her famous 10-minute version of “You Are My Sunshine.”

Over the years, Jordan has become wellknown for her sultry, elastic voice, innovative sudden pitch changes and creative flourishes.

Later in her career, in 1993, she collaborated with Fulton-born bebop singer Mark Murphy on an album titled “One for Junior.”

And now in her ninth decade, her voice remains strong and she remains active. On May 14 and 15, she was slated to appear at NYC’s landmark nightclub Birdland May 14-15 with the Royal Bopsters.

Back to basics

Organizations like Mental Health America and the National Alliance on Mental Health among others, are working hard to let people know they are not alone, particularly during the month of May. According to Mental Health America, mhanational.org, since 1949, Mental Health America and its affiliates across the country have observed Mental Health Month each May. Mental Health Awareness Month began in the United States in 1949 and was started by the Mental Health America organization, then known as the National Association for Mental Health.

These organizations, NAMI and MHA, have worked to reach out to millions of people through various outlets like media, local events and social media to raise awareness about mental illness, as well as show those who are living with their mental illness that there is support and many people interested in lending a helping hand.

According to Mental Health America, the past few years living with COVID19, has changed so much. From people living with limited contact or no contact with other people for significant periods of time along with concerns over personal health and the health of others, there have been factors that may have made many people feel alone, isolated, depressed or may have exacerbated other mental health conditions.

This informed the theme for this year’s awareness campaign.

According to mhanational.org this year, the theme of MHA’s 2022 Mental Health Month Toolkit is “Back to Basics.”

“After the last two years of pandemic living, many people are realizing that stress, isolation, and uncertainty have taken a toll on their well-being,” the website said. “Our goal is to provide foundational knowledge about mental health and mental health conditions and information about what people can do if their mental health is a cause for concern.”

But, according to Mental Health America, the stigmas associated with mental illness often keep people from seeking help when they need it even under normal circumstances, and the past few years of the pandemic may have only made that worse according to the organization.

For Mental Health America, an important first step to reaching people is sharing information.

Mental Health America, NAMI and other organizations are utilizing their websites and other outlets to reach out to people and share information, strategies and resources for people who may be going through a difficult time.

Information on topics like stress management, healthy eating, exercise and building a support network among many other topics are available on these organizations’ websites.

According to Mental Health America while 1 in 5 people will experience a mental illness during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their mental health.

With this in mind MHA’s Tools 2 Thrive series provides information, tips, and practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency regardless of the situations they are dealing with.

This portion of the organization’s website has information on connecting with others, supporting others and eliminating toxic influences among many other topics that could be useful for those seeking information.

These organizations are using this time to focus on the healing value of connecting in safe ways, prioritizing mental health and acknowledging that it’s OK to not be OK in an effort to help remove the stigmas around mental health.

For more information visit mhanational.org/mental-health-month or nami.org.

Anyone who may need immediate help is encouraged to contact healthcare professional as soon as possible.

How do we wage peace?

It’s difficult not to think about war. The awfulness of what is happening in Ukraine permeates so much of what we hear and how we profess support from wearing blue and yellow ribbons to making a donation to a

reputable organization.

Why is it that war is so pervasive among our species? Is there some set of genes, a meshing of DNA that propels us to solve problems by sending our young men and women to shed their blood for often very enigmatic reasons?

I’m thinking of the Russian mothers whose sons are dying for the ego of one man and the Ukrainian men and women who have had to become soldiers in a war not of their making.

If you examine any textbook of American History, it is laid out in what we call the war cycle. You study the ramifications of the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the

War of 1812, The Civil War, the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War and all the “in-betweens” wars. War becomes the criteria for learning who we are.

Were there not other things going on? Were not inventions being made?

Books written. Laws crafted to modify everyday life?

Epidemics? Were there not beautiful works of art, plays, poems created? Of course, but they become the less important events, happenings, etc. because war eats up so much of everyday life, modifying economics, geography, the lives of our young men and women, etc. War changes so much because of the way that we spend not only the lives of the combatants, but the consumption of other resources.

Take Ukraine again. As the breadbasket of Europe, as an exporter of wheat, the inability to plant or harvest, to export because of the de-

struction of port cities and the blockage of ports will have a detrimental effect on not only Ukraine but all of the countries that import that wheat. While young men and women are dying in Ukraine, others will suffer in places like Africa and other countries that are facing multiyear droughts have come to depend on the import of Ukrainian wheat.

Think of the stress on the resources of the countries that have accepted the millions of Ukrainians who have fled their homeland.

What adjustments will European countries make that depend on Russian oil and gas? And we know that this war has had a fallout effect on the price of gas here as well as a powerful prod to inflation.

Is there something about homo sapiens that tends to lead us into aggressive rather than thoughtful, diagnostic, problem-solving behavior? Does our focus

Ramblings from the empty nest

Ann Ferro

on adversarial relationships represent just another version of aggression? Even some of our sporting events are surrogates for aggression, for bloodless (although sometimes getting hurt happens) war? Does the rise of bullying among school children or the current creation of “us and them” around political parties say something? The armed insurrection on Jan. 6 says a lot about that. Ask yourself, who has created the division that loom so clearly among us? Who is benefitting from divisiveness . Does the term “divide and conquer” ring any bells?

How have we come to the situation where nations have to commit substantial portions of their budgets to the creation of defensive and offensive weaponry?

Why isn’t the truth of international relationships one Peace l Page 7

Need your spirits lifted? Go to a Unified basketball game

By David Tyler

If you’ve been overwhelmed with all the bad news in the world and you want to reset your faith in humanity, I suggest you check out one of the Unified basketball games that remain on this spring’s schedule.

For those who don’t know, teams in Unified basketball are made up of a mixture of neurotypical kids and kids with special needs. Boys and girls play on the same teams. Usually, there are three special needs kids and two neurotypical kids on the court at any given time. The neurotypical kids act as rebounders and passers, setting up their teammates for crowdpleasing buckets.

For the most part, the refs swallow the whistle and let the kids do what they need to do to succeed. Dribbling? That’s optional. Stiff defense? It’s discouraged.

Cheering for the home team? Absolutely! But you’ll find yourself cheering for the away team just as hard.

Winning is nice, but giving kids who otherwise wouldn’t have a chance to participate on a team an opportunity to feel that spirit of camaraderie is more important.

You’ve never seen joy like the smile on the face of a person who hears an adoring crowd chanting her name for the first time.

You’re a stronger person than I am if you can watch a young man with Downs Syndrome howl with happiness after hitting a threepointer without a little tear welling up in your eyes.

Your heart will sing when you see a kid with autism, usually so emotionally opaque, pump his fist and gleefully high five his teammates after sinking a shot.

Last Thursday afternoon, the Fayetteville-Manlius and Jamesville-DeWitt’s Unified teams squared off at F-M. The final score indicated that F-M had won, but all the kids on both teams showed themselves to

As the crowd erupts, F-M’s Stella Barlow makes the final shot of last Thursday’s Unified basketball game against J-D with an assist from F-M senior Michael OuYang. be winners.

As the game wore on, the stands filled up. Full teams of student athletes who had finished their practices piled into the bleachers to root on their classmates. Parents, teachers, siblings, classmates all joined in cheering on kids who in past generations would never have gotten this chance to shine in the spotlight.

As the clock ticked down in the fourth quarter, F-M’s Stella Barlow found herself with the ball underneath the basket. The J-D defenders cleared away to give Stella a clear shot, but try as she might, all her attempts fell short of the rim.

With an assist from the student clock operators, who stopped the clock before the final seconds ticked away, senior Michael OuYang hoisted Stella on his shoulders. With the crowd chanting her name, she made that final shot and the gym erupted with joy.

A few seconds later, the buzzer sounded and the crowd spilled out on the court to congratulate the players from both teams.

SKANEATELES - JORDAN - ELBRIDGE - MARCELLUS - CAMILLUS

Everyone in the gym wore a smile.

As I left the high school and walked to my car, I thought about the kids in the stands cheering on their classmates and the kids on the court doing everything they can to make sure the students with special needs succeed. This next gen-

eration, I thought, they’re going to be just fine.

OPINION

FROM THE MAILBAG

Not all of us bet

Taking full advantage of a torrid opening pace and saving his best speed for the homeRandom stretch, he tore down the rail, passed the two front-runners, and sped under the finish line Thoughts first in the Kentucky Derby.

Phil Blackwell Rich Strike was his name. And he wasn’t even in the field until the night before. He was sent off at odds of 80-1.

So if by some crazy chance you had the exacta with second-place Epicenter, it paid $4,100. Get the trifecta? Nearly 15 grand. And whoever stole the DeLorean, took the sports almanac and figured out the top four…well, you took home $320,000 and should never, ever have to bet on anything again.

Here was a rare, and welcome, instance where explaining the odds and payouts made perfect sense, because they were so absurd. Almost like those 5,000-to-1 odds that Leicester City would win the Premier League in 2015-16 – if 100 people said they did, chances are 99 (at least) are not telling the truth.

Ah, but those are blissful exemptions to what has turned into a terrifying tsunami of having every second of sports coverage smothered in references to over/unders, point spreads and payoffs.

Tune into a game, any game. Within minutes they’re advertising for a sports book or a daily fantasy game, the action within the action, as if the contest itself isn’t reason enough to watch.

Cut to the commercials – oh, the commercials. It isn’t just the enticements to bet. It’s the superstars. Drew Brees here, the Manning family there, Wayne Gretzky (!), one legend after another telling you that the only real way to enjoy sports is to plunk down dollars or various types of virtual currency.

Don’t expect a refuge on pregame shows. Tuning into ESPN’s “College Gameday” one Saturday last fall, it seemed like half the time was spent expounding on the odds of games, and not, you know, the games.

On one level, I get it. Without question, a portion of the audience only tunes in to see how their bets turned out. That’s held true for decades and no amount of tut-tutting will change that reality – you ever seen those big rooms in Vegas where dozens of games are on big screens? We know why.

Something has turned, though. With states beyond Nevada legalizing sports books, every elected official searching for revenue streams other than taxes have jumped on the betting bandwagon.

Just like how they once trumpeted state lotteries, the bait is selling the dream of quick riches. That only a very few get them, while millions sink into debt, is a truth only uncovered through time.

And where once bettors had to shuffle off to an OTB or a racetrack to get their fix, now all it takes is a couple of taps of the phone, the right app and, presto, hundreds, thousands or more are won or, more often, lost.

It’s all an addiction, really. Sports leagues, government bodies and organizations are addicted to seeking as many profits as they can. People then pick up those habits, some of them might find a little success and, inevitably. Want to win bigger, only to find out, too late, that they’re sinking in the kind of losses that can’t get made up.

Sad to say, it will likely require masses of people getting into trouble before most of us will wake up to the danger of leaving too much of our sports at the mercy of gambling.

Long before the Internet and cell phones, a group of Chicago White Sox agreed to throw the 1919 World Series. Paul Hornung and Alex Karras got suspended. College basketball in New York City nearly got destroyed by point-shaving. Pete Rose, enough said.

Somewhere in this era without rules (the Wild West analogy is tiresome), a major sports event will get affected by the billions getting thrown around at sports books or daily fantasy games. All it takes is one or two vulnerable athletes, plus one or two unscrupulous types, to author a disaster.

Either that, or everyone involved in sports, at all levels, will wise up to the flood of gambling they have unleashed. Profits do not lead to honor.

Usually, it goes the other way.

Community Memorial To the editor: National Hospital Week (May 9-15) was established in 1953 to celebrate the dedication that physicians, clinicians, staff and volunteers provide to patients in health systems across the country.

The last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic have been tough on everyone in our nation but the burden has been truly great on the healthcare workers that are responsible for caring for and protecting their neighbors.

Filled with a sense of gratitude and inspiration, I thank every Community Memorial team member that has and continues to serving patients in our hospital and five primary care offices during this trying time.

Arriving in the midst of the pandemic, I have personally witnessed the dedication and determination that staff continue to bring with them to work each day.

From registration to dietary workers, housekeeping, nurses and more – every member of this team has an impact on how Com-

munity Memorial serves patients in our community.

Lead by an outstanding medical staff, our employees are committed to team-based care, which leads to superior outcomes.

Facing nationwide staffing shortages and pandemic-fueled employee burnout, it’s more important than ever to understand the importance of all health system employees and their role in keeping our communities strong.

Please join me in sending your appreciation of Community Memorial employees this week and throughout the year.

Consider taking part in National Hospital Week by sending a note of appreciation to a healthcare worker you know or just say thank you when you use them. You may also spread awareness of the importance of your community hospital, and learn more about all the services and initiatives we’re working to bring our region by visiting communitymemorial.org – including our ongoing renovation and expansion project.

Jeff Coakley, President & CEO Community Memorial Hospital

Does your golf game suffer because… * You know you have the potential but you just can’t perform over an entire round? * You are fearful of embarrassing yourself in front of your friends or playing partners? * You have trouble bringing your game from the driving range to the first tee? * You have several good holes only to blow up on 2-4 holes to ruin your round? * You make too many silly mistakes? * You struggle with your putting and chipping yips? * You can’t seem to focus for an entire round of golf?

If you answer “yes” to any of questions above, don’t feel like the Lone Ranger.

Sooner or later, all golfers suffer the same consequences with their golf game. Bad shots are just part of the game…from PGA Tour players to someone who picks up a club for the first time.

Think back on the times you have hit a ball fat and chunked it into a pond or creek. How about the hundreds of times you missed a two and a half foot putt or three putted from 10 feet. Let’s not forget the balls you hit out of bounds with a 60 yard wide fairway in front of you or hit the dreaded “shank”… dead right into the bunker. They all add up to “silly, fearful, embarrassing, lack of focus or an angry reaction” to the bad shot. I have often said to beginning golfers as well as accomplished amateurs…”Success in golf is directly related to what you do, after you screw up”.

Lynn Marriot and Pia Nilsson are two of the finest golf instructors (male or female) in the world. They have coached players on the LPGA Tour, PGA Tour, European Tour, Ladies European Tour and Japan Tour to over one hundred tour victories…including ten different major winners and four #1 ranked players in the world. They are also the authors of four best selling books on golf.

Their thoughts about those bad shots and angry reactions is spot on. They say, “The more you replay it, the more prominent the memory becomes. Because of those negative reactions, your brain starts to associate golf shots with something scary, something to

CROSSWORD

Perry Noun is the former executive director of the Northeastern NY PGA as well as a competitive amateur golfer and winner of the New York State Super Senior Amateur Championship.

avoid. This can be detrimental to your game”.

Pia says, “Even though the goal is to get the ball in the hole, you need to know what your intention is for that shot or putt. That’s what you should evaluate, not the shot’s result”.

For example, here are five things Nilsson and Marriot say you can tell yourself, instead of getting angry, cursing, tossing a club or pouting, after you have just “screwed up”.

1. “I didn’t hold my finish”.

2. “I misjudged the wind”.

3. “Next time I will make a smaller swing”.

4. “I was thinking about the outcome instead of feeling my tempo”.

5. “I didn’t trust my decision. Next time I will honor my gut”.

And how should we react after hitting a good shot? They say, “When you do something well, you should celebrate for about 15 seconds, even if it’s just internally.

Anything from great, to good, to good enough, you need to recognize and take in and be proud of it”. They also recommend talking about your good shots after your round because, “If I practice reminding myself of the good shots and what I do when I hit good shots, it’s going to be easier to repeat them more often”.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to play the game of golf at a higher level than you currently play, please simply read the previous two paragraphs in this article once every month. If you want to continue to improve your golf game, have more fun and reach your potential, read the two previous paragraphs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday…Forever!

Cazenovia Republican

May 18, 2022 11

Eagle News • CNY’s Community News Source

Alumna speaks at Cazenovia College commencement Cazenovia College welcomed alumna Kandice Watson back to campus as special guest speaker for its 197th commencement on Saturday, May 14.

A Wolf Clan member of the Oneida Indian Nation, Watson earned her associate degree at Cazenovia in liberal studies in 1986. She has served as documentarian for the Oneida Nation since 2017. In that role, her responsibilities include researching the Nation’s history and significant cultural events for posterity, as well as compiling data and providing historical context for Nation Member communications. Through her research, Nation Members are able to learn about and develop a direct connection to their past to ensure family histories are told from generation to generation.

Watson has worked for the Oneida Indian Nation in many roles since 1986, when she became a floor supervisor at the

original bingo hall on Territory Road in Oneida, one of the Nation’s earliest businesses.

After her education at Cazenovia College, she went on to obtain a bachelor’s degree in mathematics at Utica College and then a master’s degree in teaching from Colgate University.

In 2000, after completing her teaching coursework, she was named the director of education for the Nation, overseeing its library and early learning center and the language, youth development, and scholarship programs. She also served as the director of education and cultural outreach while managing the Shako:wi Cultural Center, where visitors can experience Oneida history from the Nation’s role as America’s First Allies to the present day.

“We are always pleased to have our alumni back on campus, especially to address our 2022 graduates, their families,

and faculty and staff for this special occasion,” College President Dr. David Bergh said. “We look forward to recognizing Kandice’s personal achievements since her time here, as well as the progress of her Nation, and to acknowledging that the college is located on the Nation’s ancestral homelands.”

As are many other colleges, Cazenovia awarded an honorary doctorate of humane letters degree, honoris causa, in absentia to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of Commencement ceremonies.

The honor was awarded in recognition of Zelenskyy’s leadership and in support of the people of Ukraine in their struggle against the Russian invasion.

Kandice Watson was a guest speaker at Cazenvoia College commencement ceremony May 14.

New Woodstock library to host ‘Historic Houses and Landscapes’ exhibit The New Woodstock Free Library recently announced its May/June exhibit “Historic Houses and Landscapes” by Carl Stearns.

After devoting 50 years to the realm of architecture, Stearns is now retired, free to paint.

He was born a twin, in Boston in 1944 and his family moved to Erieville in 1951, next door to Merrill A. Bailey, AWS. Stearns’ mother, Catherine Neuwiesinger Stearns, was an artist and a historian of 20th century art.

Stearns thinks of every acrylic painting he pursues as a tiny step in a visionary journey to explore space and light and how it creates a

sense of place.

His subjects appear in groupings, showing admiration for landscapes, water features and old buildings. He was captivated by a trip to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon in 2018, inspiration for some of his paintings of a peaceful lake of alarming depth.

However, he ultimately comes back home, to paint the Nelson Swamp Unique Area and the farms adjacent.

Something about the spirey spruce, horizontal pine boughs, fluffy willows and small reflecting pools of water.

“My work is representational,” Stearns said. “As a retired architect, I was trained to look at spaces, patterns, silhouettes, surfaces

and directional light, more than at objects. I am totally smitten with the idea that a three dimensional subject can be projected onto a two dimensional plane, and then given back its space, its perspective, its surface, its color and its life in an unmistakable, but artisticallymodified recreation of its volume and sense of place. In addition to landscapes, I like to paint groupings of historic houses and settlementperiod barns that ‘compose.’ As a forest owner, I am also interested in how trees appear to us, both heavily-foliated and dying.”

This show is the third in a series of six art exhibits at the New Woodstock Free Library gallery in 2022.

The rest of the season includes:

July/August - Pam Lynch: “Mixed media/ collage and watercolor” September/October - Cazenovia Watercolor Society November/December - Sharon Bottle Souva: “Textiles” All visitors are invited to put their name in a drawing to be held at the end of December 2022 to receive a beautiful floral watercolor print by Gordon Muck. Enter everytime you visit! Visit the library on Main Street in New Woodstock, NY during regular library hours.

For more information, contact Mary Bartlett, Program Coordinator, New Woodstock Free Library at nwevents@midyork.org or call the library at 315-662-3134.

Art Park

displayed in solo exhibits at over 25 venues across the United States. His book “Thirtyfour Campgrounds” was published by The MIT Press in 2016. His next book, “Making Camp,” will be published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2023.

Camping at the Art Park was Hogue’s first opportunity to propose and design his own campground.

When developing the project, he carefully selected four secluded campsites — Secret Garden, Ash Tree, Sugar Bush, and Paperbark Maple Tree — that highlighted “unique spatial opportunities” such as a meadow and a wooded area for example and were in proximity of key sculptures or dramatic vistas. Each site was marked by a bright blue table with a small sign.

According to Zaengle, the campsites will be in the same spots this year.

“The sculptures around these sites have changed a bit over time, but the location of the four campsites is the same,” she said.

The sites are all situated within a few minutes walking distance of a main hilltop service hub featuring a parking area, restrooms, drinking water, wheelbarrows to transport equipment/gear, trash disposal, and a communal campfire surrounded by Adirondack chairs.

In addition to considering optimal campsite locations, Hogue also addressed the challenges of “scale and legibility” when designing his campsite.

“Given the scale of the 104-acre site, can this intimate campground be read within

the larger landscape of the Art Park?” he asked. “I have used picnic tables to mark the individual sites and painted all related infrastructure of the campground — tables, chairs, map, signage, flashlights, wheelbarrow, garbage cans, information pamphlets, even t-shirts — in the same bright shade of cyan to enhance their legibility as a system inside the park. With its numbered campsites and many icons, the [map] hints at the typical graphics of campground maps nationwide; it provides a way to take in the entire project at a single glance, and [it] is the first document handed to visitors to orient them to the project when they check in on Friday night.”

Following the inaugural Camping at the Art Park, SQHAP offered the initiative again in June 2018 and June 2019.

“We did not offer it in 2020 or 2021 due to the uncertainty of the pandemic,” noted Zaengle. “In 2020, Camping at the Art Park received a design award from the American Society of Landscape Architects Upstate New York Chapter.”

Zaengle added that the event has also received positive feedback from campers each year and that people appreciate the opportunity to be in the park at night, enjoy the stars, and meet fellow campers around the campfire.

“We have had a lot of people tell us they used Camping at the Art Park as a way to try out camping and ease into the idea of sleeping outdoors in a tent,” she said. “We find that families really enjoy the event as

well. We typically book all the campsites every weekend.”

According to Zaengle, Hogue returns to SQHAP as a visiting artist every year that camping is offered to replace, repair, and/ or repaint the tables and chairs and update the event brochure.

Each weekend is facilitated by an assigned host who is an experienced Camping at the Art Park participant and is responsible for answering questions and starting the shared campfire every morning and evening.

“Martin helps host and also helps find other people to host,” said Zaengle. “Martin invests his visiting artist stipend into the materials and promotions for this event.”

Campsites can be reserved at sqhap.org/ happenings/camping-at-the-art-park.

At the end of the month of June, the communal fire pit will be dismantled, the picnic tables will be returned to the top of the hill, and apart from the outlines of tents in the grass, very little evidence of the campground will remain.

Hogue explained that one of his objectives was to ensure that the project can be installed and uninstalled quickly with modest means and minimal impact on the park.

“Only memories will remain — until next year,” he said.

utilities and conveniences.

Hogue said his interest in camping goes back to the summer of 2000, when he first camped near the Badlands of South Dakota, equipped with a tent and a sleeping bag lent to him by a friend.

“When I saw the KOA sign looming in the distance, I decided to check it out,” he recalled. “I had expected to be let loose on the grounds to claim a quiet, shady spot on my own, but instead a destination was prescribed for me by the campground’s attendant, who carefully circled the location of my campsite on a printed map. I’m an architect by training and interested in the spatial planning of places — not only buildings, but larger landscapes too. The map indicated there were numbered RV sites and tent sites, bathrooms, a swimming pool, a miniature golf area, an offleash dog area. It even showed streets with names. This all felt and looked like a small village. I was admittedly a little surprised, but also intrigued. Were all campgrounds like this?”

Since that experience, Hogue has been attempting to understand the history of recreational camping in the US, and in the process connecting the experiences of early recreational campers in the Adirondacks at the turn of the 19th century with the densely packed campgrounds now common in state and national parks.

His research and drawings have been

Years Ago in History

The Pompey Historical Society has planned a tour of major waterfalls important to the town’s early development at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 22. Meeting in front of the Delphi Falls Church in Delphi Falls the group will proceed to the Delphi Falls waterfall, south of the village. Nancy Edwards will explain the early water powered mills situated in the immediate area. The group will then move to Brickyard Falls where Millie Welker will provide information on early mill development. The final stop will be at Pratts Falls, where Ray Benson will describe the location and types of mills at the turn of the century. The Town of Pompey was one of the most densely settled towns in the late 1790s and early 1800s. This was due not only to the excellent farm land, but also because of the nearly unlimited water power for mills of various kinds. The abundance of dependable flowing water in the East and West Branches of Limestone Creek, plus the relatively steep gradients in the town were ideal for the establishment of mills.

A new parking plan for Gypsy Bay Park was reviewed by the Cazenovia town board May 11 and town officials hope to have the work completed before the Fourth of July events begin. The project involves developing a new entrance plus filling and putting down gravel in the parking area. Cost for the gravel is estimated at about $6,900 with money to be taken from the town’s land trust which is financed by a portion of the subdivision fees. The parking plan was drawn by Gary Stowell, highway superintendent. It calls for a parking area for 28 vehicles in a 60’ by 140’ area. Town crews will spread fill in the parking area before the gravel arrives.

For an unprecedented second time in four years, Cazenovia College hosted the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association’s 2002 National Championships for Western and Hunt Seat (English) riding last week from May 2 through 5 at the College’s Equine Center on Woodfield Road.

Although local anglers have traditionally depended on word-of-mouth to get the scoop on prime fishing areas, they will soon be able to learn more about the vitality of aquatic life in Cazenovia Lake through reports released by the New York State Department of Conservation. On the evenings of May 9 and 10, three DEC representatives ventured along the shore of the lake to evaluate indigenous wildlife. Using a humane process known as “electroshocking” to subdue fish and gather information, one fish and wildlife technician and two biologists tested numerous areas of Cazenovia Lake over the course of seven hours during the two days. “Our main goal is just a general fisheries survey, the one we [conducted] is called a “Centrarchid Survey,” where bass are the prime targets.

“The lake has never been surveyed though, so we will also be looking at the other species, sizes, ages, number we catch per hour, etc.” said Aquatic Biologist James Everard.

Caz boys lax sweeps to trio of wins

F

by Phil Blackwell

ive consecutive defeats by a combined 10 goals had threatened to derail a promising season for the Cazenovia boys lacrosse team, who had tumbled all the way back to the .500 mark.

But the Lakers started to recover during the last full week of the regular season, getting a trio of lopsided victories to move to 9-6 overall.

It began with last Moday’s 16-7 victory over Tully/Fabius-Pompey, where Cazenovia got a season-best performance from D.B. Falge, who netted five goals and added an assist.

Brody Coleman also scored five times, with Forrest Ives getting three goals and one assist. Wyatt Hartley had two goals and one assist, with James LaFever adding a goal and two assists.

Tanner Ackermann picked up five ground balls, two behind Ives’ total of seven.

Finally at home to face Jordan-Elbridge Thursday as the sun set over the Sean Goggin Sports Complex, the Lakers played a near-perfect second half to put away the Eagles 16-7.

Led by Wade Brunelle, who had four goals and two assists, J-E pulled within one, 8-7, by halftime, but the Lakers answered with a dominant third quarter and didn’t let the Eagles score the rest of the way.

Ultimately, Coleman’s seven goals matched the Eagles’ entire lineup as he added an assist. Jack Wright had two goals and three assists, while Ives and Chris Vecchiarelli also scored twice.

Falge had a goal and two assists as Hartley and LaFever converted, too, overcoming 20 saves by J-E goalie Aus-

tin Brunelle.

Cazenovia kept it up on Saturday afternoon by taking out Cortland 20-2, netting 14 unanswered goals in the first half and seeing Coleman score eight times to go with a pair of assists.

Falge and Ben Blanco both had three-goal hat tricks, Falge adding a trio of assists. LaFever had two goals as Hartley had a goal and two assists.

Ives, Alex Kuper and Will Guider also earned goals.

Chittenango peaked in the second quarter of last Monday’s game against Whitesboro, averaging a goal per minute on the way to 12 goals in that frame and a 19-10 victory over the Warriors.

A day later, the Bears ran into Marcellus and lost, 16-4, to the Mustangs.

Brendon Barnard had two goals, with the others going to Alex Moesch and Vince Lazzaro. Adam Rayfield and

Chris Doshna led Marcellus with four goal apiece.

More goals were put up on Thursday, when Chittenango rolled past Holland Patent 22-8 as Ryan Moesch set a new career mark, scoring seven times to go with a pair of assists.

Barnard matched that point total, with four goals and five assists, and Meeks Vaughn complemented his three goals with six asssits as Lazzaro also scored four times. Jacob Owens, Alex Moesch and Jaden Miner had one goal apiece.

A day later, Chittenango ran into 11-1 Westhill and lost, 20-6, to the Warriors, who were up 13-5 by halftime and didn’t let up despite three goals from Barnard and two goals from Ryan Moesch. Emmet Starowicz (five goals, one assist) and Kyle Rosenberger (four goals, five assists) paced the Warriors.

Cazenovia girls lacrosse handles league foes

by Phil Blackwell It was a pretty good time for the Cazenovia girls lacrosse team to pick up victories and gather up whatever momentum I could before the Section III Class D playoffs.

In last Monday’s game against Tully/Fabius-Pompey, the Lakers won its third in a row, shutting down the Black Knights for long stretched on the way to a 12-2 victory.

Riley Knapp, with five goals and one assist, led the way, while Madison DeAngelis got three goals and one assist.

Sammy Sparks converted twice, adding an assist, with Katie Rajkowski getting a goal and two assists.

Charlie Prior had the other goal, plus eight draw controls as single assists went to Prior, Megan Kuhn and Maren Smith.

By that same 10-goal margin, Cazenovia was successful against Cortland two nights later, the Lakers plenty productive during a 17-7 win over the Purple Tigers.

Leading 8-3 by halftime, Cazenovia got further away with nine different players netting goals, led by Rajkowski, who scored five times and added an assist.

Knapp had a three-goal hat trick of her own as Prior and Smith both converted twice. Kuhn had one goal and one assist, while DeAngelis, Hadley Schug, Dali Dennison and Lily Clonan also put in goals. Mackenzie Halliday finished with seven saves.

Now at 8-6, Cazenovia clinched a winning record with Friday’s 17-6 win over Jordan-Elbridge, a game where Knapp set a new career mark, scoring six times, and Reff was close behind with five goals.

DeAngelis and Kaitlyn Smithers both found the net twice as single goals went to Rajkowski and Clonan, with Smith and Leigha Fostveit earning assists.

Going into the week with a 7-5 record, Chittenango got close to clinching a winning record when it shut out Vernon-Verona-Sherrill in the first half of last Monday’s 13-2 victory over the Red Devils.

It was 7-0 at halftime, and the Bears kept adding to that margin, seeing Brooke Walters, with four goals and one assist, lead a well-balanced attack.

Ashley O’Hara scored twice, adding a pair of assists. Tomi Newkirk and Cailtyn Sgambellone also had two-goal outings as Cara Kielbasa picked up three assists. Abby Penfield and Emma Powers combined for seven saves.

Things reversed a day later, Chittenango falling 20-5 to Marcellus.

O’Hara still had a three-goal hat trick, with Newkirk and Sgambellone getting the other goals as Cece Powell paced the Mustang with five goals and two assists.

Chittenango’s then lost 17-5 loss to Westhill. O’Hara had a goal and two assists, with Walters, Sgambellone, Alazayah Smith and Carlie Madonna getting the other goals. The Warriors built a 13-2 lead by halftime, led by Adelaide Lowery, who had three goals and three assists.

By the time the Bears faced Cortland Saturday, it was playing its fourth game in six days, and the toll may have played a factor in a 12-10 defeat to the Purple Tigers.

Again, O’Hara led the offense, netting four goals. Walters and Sgambellone had two goals apiece as Newkirk and Kielbasa had the other goals. Lillian Call led Cortland with five goals.

Cazenovia baseball goes 2-1, takes loss to Westhill

by Phil Blackwell

Something may have turned around when, in a 24-hour span, the Cazenovia baseball team swept a doubleheader from Altmar-Parish-Williamstown and then shut out reigning Section III Class B champion Skaneateles.

Still with momentum from those efforts, the Lakers were dominant in last Monday’s game at Jordan-Elbridge, again reaching double digits as it beat the Eagles 14-1.

A five-run second inning and sixrun third inning decided matters, with Jack Donlin getting a double, triple and three RBIs. Jack Byrnes and A.J. Rothfeld each drove in two runs as Izaak Gilbert added an RBI. Jacob Greveld-

ing struck out five in his completegame effort.

A much bigger game loomed Wedneday at Westhill, where the Lakers could not take advantage of an early opportunity and, with a string of mistakes that quickly ollowed, lost 11-1 to the Warriors.

In the top of the first, Byrnes doubled, Donlin walked and Rothfeld hit a ground-rule double to score Byrnes, and the Lakers loaded the bases with nobody out.

However, Westhill pitcher Mike Madigan escaped that jam and the Warriors promptly scored three runs in the bottom of the first off Donlin, including a pair of bases-loaded walks.

A series of defensive mistakes in the

second inning led to seven Westhill runs. Donlin was pulled and, while relievers Ben Orbach and Jacob Szalach did better, Cazenovia could not recover.

Two days later, Cazenovia met up with Phoenix, a team it lost to 3-0 two weeks earlier. But with five runs in the first and third innings, the Lakers did all it needed to beat the Firebirds 10-1.

Byrnes again pitched a gem, holding Phoenix to three hits and amassing 12 strikeouts. Those early rallies included two RBIs from Jacob Szalach as he, along with Donlin, Sully Clarke and Taven Reilley, had two hits apiece.

Izaak Gilbert joined Byrnes, Grevelding, Clarke and Reilley in the RBI col-

Chittenango softball finds late-season form

by Phil Blackwell

Entering the last week of the regular season, the Chittenango softball team is only worrying about where it will end up placed for the Section III Class B playoffs, while Cazenovia was looking for any sort of spark.

Up against Altmar-Parish-Williamstown last Tuesday afternoon, the Bears only had three hits, but still put together a pair of timely rallies to beat the Rebels 4-2.

Chittenango trailed 1-0 when it struck for a pair of runs in the top of the third inning. It stayed 2-1 until the sixth, when the Bears doubled its total with what proved to be decisive runs.

Lily Callahan finished with two hits and got credited with an RBI. Olivia Jackson, Anna Cavotta and Avree Salce also scored as Caroline Porter pitched quite well, overcoming five APW hits with five strikeouts.

The great pitching for Chittenango continued in Thursday’s 6-0 shuout of West

Genesee where the Wildcats managed just one hit to the Bears’ 10. Three runs in the second and third innings, plus three runs in the fifth, proved enough.

Cazenovia, meanwhile, ran into stateranked Canastota last Tuesday and lost, 23-5, to the Raiders, who netted five runs in the first inning, eight runs in the third and seven runs in the seventh on the way to 17 hits.

The Lakers did have a four-run rally in the fifth, but it was far from enough.

Emma Wood led Canastota, going fourfor-four with a triple, double, two singles, three runs scored and four RBIs. In Thursday’s 21-3 defeat to New Hartford, the Lakers scored all of its runs in the bottom of the third, scored by Lucy Bliss, Cadence Walter and Bel Lazarsky.

Raven Gonzales went five-for-five with a home run for the Spartans.

When Cazenovia fell to Solvay 9-1 on Saturday afternoon, Bliss had two hits and scored her team’s only run in the sixth inning on Skeele’s single. Also pitching, Skeele recorded six strikeouts.

umn.

Chittenango found itself scoring lots of runs in last Monday’s battle with Marcellus, but the Bears still took a 14-11 defeat to the Mustangs.

David Bruno, Ty Kelly and Kyle Peryer each finished with two hits. Bruno and Kelly drove in two runs apiece, with single RBIs going to Peryer and Carlos Torres-Carman as, for Marcellus, Colin Johnson, Hunter Byrne, Ryder Donahue and Ian Potter each had three hits, with Byrne and Adam Sullivan getting three RBIS apeice.

In Friday’s game with Oneida, the Bears prevailed 5-4, this despite just three hits. Two of them were from Bruno and Austin Khammar, who drove in two runs apiece.

Cazenovia girls golf team defeats Chittenango

by Phil Blackwell

Warm summer sunshine greeted the Cazenovia and Chittenango girls golf teams as they went head-to-head last Friday afternoon at Cazenovia Country Club, with both sides in search of their first win of 2022.

It was the Lakers who grabbed it on its home course, prevailing 226-247 over the Bears by putting up four of the six best individual rounds of the match.

Sophie Clancy shot a 49 for nine holes, leading all individuals, while her teammate, Claire Marris, finished with a 52 and Abby VanDee paced Chittenango with a 53.

Helping Cazenovia pull away, Grace Probe shot a 61 to take fifth place and Jordan Bradley was sixth with a 62. Rory Beckwith put up a 60 for the Bears ahead of Ava Hohl’s 65 and Sybrina Schultz’s 67.

Back on Monday afternoon, Cazenovia lost a 236-256 decision to Marcellus, Clancy’s 53 at Tuscarora trailed only the 48 from Allison Coombs as Probe was third with a 56, but three other Mustangs golfers beat the 68 from Marris.

Chittenango played twice eariler in the week, including its own defeat to Marcellus. The 232-245 decision had VanDee shoot 53 behind Coombs’ 50 as Jade Sequin was fourth with a 60. Jolene Wagner shot a 68.

Against Skaneateles, the Bears lost 232-266 at Woodcrest, with Jillian Scott shooting 49 to pace those other Lakers. Woodcrest will host Wednesday’s Onondaga High School League championships.
