Owera closes tasting room, cancels 2024 events By kate Hill Staff Writer

Owera Vineyards on East Lake Road in Cazenovia has closed its tasting room and canceled all hosted events for 2024. On Dec. 4, Peter Muserlian Jr, son of Owera owners Nancy and Peter Muserlian, confirmed the closing and said the farming, wine production, and distribution operations will continue at the Cazenovia location. “We are committed to finding suitable replacement venues for those affected by the cancellations,” he said in an email. Muserlian Jr., who has been handling all media inquiries for the winery, added that Owera is not taking any questions at this time. As of Dec. 8, the Owera website is “under construction” and there are no posts about the closing on the business’s Facebook page.

Background

The Muserlians purchased their 57-acre property on East Lake Road in 2007. They opened a tasting room a few years later and erected a seasonal, non-permanent 40 ft. x 100 ft. tent on the property to host events. The winery became a venue for weddings, banquets, and other occasions in 2013. Since then, neighbors have been very vocal about their opposition to the noise, lights, and traffic coming from the on-site events. In Sept. 2013, Owera was issued a notice of violation by the town codes enforcement officer for “complaints relating to the conducting of activities (not ‘indoors’) after the hour of 10 p.m. on certain specified Fridays and Saturdays and after 5 p.m. on certain weekdays and Sundays, all outside of the parameters of the permits that [Owera has] been issued and the Town’s Zoning and Site Plan Laws.”

According to the violation, the complaints related to excessive noise that was identified as coming from the banquet area of Owera’s premises. That same year, Owera applied to the town to replace their tent with a permanent structure. In the face of strong opposition from neighbors, the winery ultimately withdrew its application in January 2014. Owera applied again in August 2014 to construct a building to replace the tent, and in February 2015, the town issued a comprehensive resolution approving the construction of a permanent 48 ft. x 142 ft. farm production and marketing facility structure. The resolution contained various conditions, including noise limitations, limits on the hours of operation, limits on the size and number of events held, required proof of compliance with certain Submitted photo New York State Department of AgCazenovia scout Micah Hamm recently led an effort as part of his work to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, to riculture and Markets (DAM) polirepair a footbridge on the North Country Scenic Trail in Cazenovia. cies on an annual basis, and required immediate expansion of Owera’s acreage under cultivation.

Board says goodbye to longtime supervisor By Kate Hill Staff Writer

On Dec. 11, Bill Zupan led his final town board meeting as supervisor of the Town of Cazenovia. Zupan, who decided not to seek reelection this year, was presented with a framed proclamation recognizing and honoring his many years of dedicated service. Zupan joined the Town of Cazenovia Zoning Board of Appeals in

1990. He served on it for 17 years and spent seven years as board chairman. He was elected to the town board in 2008 and has been the supervisor for the past decade. The proclamation, which was read aloud by Councilor & Deputy Town Supervisor Patrick Race, states that Zupan’s wisdom, knowledge, and dedication to improving the town are evidenced by the numerous projects that were started and completed under his leadership. Such initiatives in-

clude the conveyance of the water pollution control facility to the Town of Cazenovia, the formation of the Route 20 Water District, the New York State Police New Woodstock Substation, Northeast Town Drainage District improvements, the cold storage building at the highway garage, McNitt State Park kayak launch improvements, sidewalks to Fenner Fields, the procurement of a new weed harvester, and several lake treatments.

Village board introduces zoning code amendments, sets public hearing By kate Hill Staff Writer

During its Dec. 4 regular meeting, the Village of Cazenovia Board of Trustees introduced proposed amendments to the village code regarding special uses in a B-1 zoning district and the definition of the term “sign.” The current village code states that in a B-1 zone, dwellings, owneroccupied transient occupancy lodging, non-owner-occupied transient occupancy lodging, and dormitories are specially permitted uses in upper stories of a building only in combination with permitted nonresidential use(s) on the first floor in the same building.

The village board is proposing an exception for corner lots that have frontage on both Albany Street and an intersecting street. Within a mixed commercial/residential use occupancy building at such a location, dwellings would be permitted on the ground floor within the portion of the building that fronts on the intersecting street. “Currently in the B-1, it requires that for any residential use on the upper floors, there be a commercial or office or some [other] type of nonresidential use on the first floor,” said Village Attorney Jim Stokes. “That was put in five or six years ago, [I think], in order to preserve the storefronts on Albany Street, so that you didn’t have residences of

one kind or another occupying those storefronts.” Stokes added that when considering the informally proposed redevelopment of 99 Albany St. — the former Napa store — and 103 Albany St. — a former gas station — into a new mixed-use retail/residential building, the village noticed that there was an issue with the zoning. The owners of the properties, Michael and Jacqueline Silberberg, of Berkley Properties, LLC, are proposing a first-floor commercial use on the Albany Street side of the building and a first-floor residential use on the Center Street side, which is adjacent to a residential district. “Technically, that doesn’t fit with the B-1 zoning,” said Stokes. “So,

to keep with the original intent of the zoning code, this is a proposed amendment, upon which we would have to have a public hearing next month, that would allow for properties such as this that are on a corner lot to have residential on the nonAlbany Street side of the building.” Mayor Kurt Wheeler pointed out that the developer made the proposed design with the intention of minimizing the impact of the building on the adjacent neighborhood. “Commercial uses would have higher traffic and higher impact on the neighborhood,” he said. “They actually were being very farsighted saying, ‘Hey, we’d like to do residential on the back side to have less impact on the neighborhood. So, they

are trying to do the right thing, trying to be considerate of neighbors. . . . After we did the comprehensive plan, [we] went through literally page by page, paragraph by paragraph, and redid all our zoning, and there are things that you just don’t anticipate.” Wheeler added that he thinks the proposed amendment preserves the intent of the B-1 special uses section of the code while allowing for a more compatible use with the residential neighborhoods that might be behind Albany Street. “It’s a win-win with this change,” he said. “It allows the developer to do something that is actually better for the surrounding neighborhoods.” Village l Page 3

H. Grey Supply Co. helps launch ‘Holigays’ Pride Market By kate Hill Staff Writer

Cazenovia’s H. Grey Supply Co. has partnered with Wildflowers Armory and Salt City Market to present the inaugural “Holigays” Pride Market to benefit the LGBTQ+ community. The event will be held at Salt City Market at 484 S. Salina St. on Saturday, Dec. 16, from 4 to 8 p.m. Coordinated by Travis Barr, co-owner of H. Grey Supply Co., and Michael John Heagerty, founder of Wildflowers Armory, the Holigays market will feature LGBTQIA+ vendors and makers and will support the Q Center at ACR Health. Located at 617 W. Genesee St. in Syracuse, the Q Center is a safe space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth; their families; and allies to gather, share, and receive support. The center’s programming promotes equality, celebrates diversity, provides resources that cultivate pride

and leadership skills, and strives to create a safe and inclusive community for all. The event will be emceed by drag performer Anita Buffem, Barr’s professional persona. “She promises an egregious level of sparkle and fun at the event,” said Barr. The Holigays Pride Market is logistically supported and managed by Nida Nizam of F13 Studio. H. Grey Supply Co. is a modern-day general store and outfitter focused on bringing people together in a safe, inclusive space and celebrating small-batch makers and independent brands. The business established Cazenovia Pride in 2021 to celebrate and uplift the local LGBTQ+ community. Visit hgreysupplyco. com or follow @HGreySupplyCo on social media to learn more. Wildflowers Armory, a multi-vendor marketplace, has established itself as a hub for local artists, makers, and creators in Syracuse. Its mission is to nurture and

As town supervisor, Zupan helped secure funding for several key projects, including improvements to the Mt. Pleasant Water District and the water pollution control facility. He also helped secure two Community Development Block Grants that assisted two local establishments in creating jobs. “As Chief Financial Officer and Budget Officer for the Town, Bill was fiscally responsible and his inherent ‘knack for numbers’ was an attribute that was useful in keeping the tax rate consistent from year to year while keeping the Town’s debt load to a minimum,” the proclamation continues. “Whereas: as Town Supervisor, Bill represented our Town on the Madison County Board of Supervisors and was a strong supporter of programs that would benefit the constituents and an

It is built upon the dream of creating a communal space that showcases Syracuse’s hidden culinary gems and fosters economic empowerment for local residents.

Let’s make this holiday season a

advocate for funding.” The proclamation also highlights Zupan’s role in helping the town to become a Bronze Certified Climate Smart Community and his leadership during the COVID-10 pandemic. During those critical, unprecedented times, Zupan helped implement a pandemic operations plan policy to protect the health and well-being of the town’s staff and citizens. The document concludes by expressing that Zupan’s exceptional abilities, enthusiasm, determination, and professionalism, as well as his warm, unrestrained, and boisterous personality, have played an instrumental and beneficial role in shaping the town’s future. “The Town Board of the Town of Cazenovia recognizes and honors William N. Zupan,” the proclamation states. “He is loved, will be missed, and will always be considered a defender, champion, and friend of Cazen-

memorable one for everyone.” According to Barr, bringing members of the LGBTQIA+ community together in an environment of inclusivity and support is especially important this time of year. “You always hear folks talk about how it can be difficult to be around family during the holidays,” Barr said. “Now imagine you’re one of the 60 percent of LGBTQ young people who [The Trevor Project reports] find their home to be non-LGBTQ-affirming. Imagine being one of the over 40 percent who seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. The holidays can be especially challenging for LGBTQIA+ individuals in non-affirming environments, where concealing your identity, or not being able to be your full self, is a harsh reality. The disparity between society’s expectations of joy and the internal struggle of hiding who you are can lead to profound isolation.” Barr added that the alarming statistics from The Trevor

ovia.” In response to the recognition, Zupan stated that none of the achievements mentioned would have been possible without help from all the people he has had the pleasure of serving with. Next month, Zupan’s seat will be filled by Councilor Kyle Reger, who ran unopposed for the position in the Nov. 7 election. During his report, Reger thanked Zupan for graciously taking the time to help him prepare for the upcoming transition and said it has been an honor to serve with him over the past four years. He added that he admires the tremendous sacrifice that Zupan and his family have made in service to their community. “We are so lucky in this community that we have such talented people [who] are willing to step up and serve,” Reger said. During her report, Councilor Kelli Johnson also thanked Zupan for all the time he has dedicated to the town. “It is a lot,” she said. “I’ve told people that everybody should have to serve a term in some elected position at least once in their life. It’s been an eye-opener for me.” Johnson also welcomed Councilor-elect Sheila Fallon to the town board. Councilor Jimmy Golub, who has been

on the board for eight years, also took a moment to comment on his experience serving with Zupan. “I know not all the other towns run as smoothly as this town, and I do credit Bill for that because he is our leader,” Golub said. The councilor added that although he and Zupan have not always agreed on every issue, they have always had great respect for one another. “There was one very controversial vote [where] everybody voted for and I voted against,” Golub recalled. “Afterwards, he said, ‘Come over to the Brae Loch; let’s have a beer.’ That’s just the kind of guy he is. It has been really a pleasure working with you, Bill.” During the meeting’s public comment period, Town of Cazenovia Planning Board Chairman Bob Ridler thanked Zupan for the tremendous support he has provided not only to the planning board but also to various volunteer organizations within the town. “I appreciate everything you’ve done, personally and professionally,” he said. The town board typically meets on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Gothic Cottage.

Cazenovia Public Library to revive ‘Great Decisions’ discussion group By kate Hill Staff Writer

In February, the “Great Decisions” discussion group will return to the Cazenovia Public Library (CPL) under the leadership of CPL Adult Programming and Service Coordinator Renee Joseph. Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on U.S. foreign policy and world affairs. The approximately 1.5-hour discussions are guided by a series of questions listed at the end of each topic presentation in the Foreign Policy Association’s (FPA) Great Decisions 2024 Briefing Book. Before each conversation, groups watch a 20-minute FPA video on the week’s topic. Founded in 1918, the FPA is a non-profit organization with a mission to serve as a catalyst for developing awareness, understanding, and informed opinion on U.S. foreign policy and global issues. Through its balanced, nonpartisan programs and publications, the FPA encourages citizens to participate in the foreign policy process. According to the organization’s website, the Great Decisions program provides background information and policy options for the eight most critical global issues facing America each year. The 2024 topics, which were chosen by a

She also said Owera proposed other site improvements to mitigate additional issues, such as lighting, that have been raised. According to the minutes, Gagliano stated that Owera currently has an indoor venue — the tasting room — that operates without restrictions on days or hours, and “there hasn’t been a problem.” According to Gagliano, the “agricultural, farm-looking structure” would include an interior sound monitoring device that would give the person running it a warning with a colored light when the predetermined sound threshold had been hit. The system would send an email to the town if the sound exceeded the set levels.

panel of experts, are “Mideast realignment,” “Climate technology and competition,” “Science across borders,” “U.S.-China trade rivalry,” “NATO’s future,” “Understanding Indonesia,” “High Seas treaty,” and “Pandemic preparedness.” The local discussion series will begin on Wednesday, Feb. 7, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in the Betsy Kennedy Community Room. The program runs for eight consecutive weeks. Briefing booklets are available for $28 through the library. Money should be dropped off at the circulation desk by Jan. 10. A booklet will also be available at the circulation desk for patrons to read while at the library, but it will not be available for check out. Cazenovia resident Wendy Taylor, of the League of Women Voters, started the local Great Decisions discussion group in 1990 and last ran the program in February 2020. The discussion group met at the Gothic Cottage for many years and then at Saint James Catholic Church before moving to the library. “I heard what a popular program this was, so I reached out to Wendy,” said Joseph. “[She] was very helpful and still very interested in being involved but was happy for the library to take the reins after so many years and perhaps reach an even wider audience.” For more information on Great Decisions, visit fpa.org/great_decisions.

H. Grey pop-ups

Wildflowers’ location at Salt City Market. “The partnership there has been amazing, and [it’s what] the Pride Market was born from,” said Barr. “While we aren’t serving coffee, you can still find fan favorites like our own line of greeting cards, designed by us, and our new H. Grey line of skincare, The Complexion Studio.” H. Grey will be at both pop-up locations through Dec. 31.

Event sound history would be submitted quarterly to the town zoning enforcement officer. According to Seth Waltz from ADL Designs in Rochester, the building drawings feature a “beefed up” roof, double doors, almost studio-grade windows, and “beefed up” exterior walls for sound attenuation. Gagliano said there would be no events held on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the hours would be 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, the hours would be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. On Sundays, the hours would be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, they proposed that during January, February, and March, events would be limited to a maximum of four events per month. During the public hearing held during both the Oct. 5 and Nov. 2, 2023, planning board meetings, several neighbors spoke in opposition to the proposal, raising concerns

related to the winery’s compliance with DAM, the proposed hours, potential year-round event noise, noise when guests leave the facility, traffic, and lights. According to the October meeting minutes, East Lake Road resident JoAnne Race said she and other neighbors would rather have the winery maintain a tent structure than have a permanent event center without the 2015 list of conditions included. “Please spend time publicly deliberating reasonable conditions and include reasonable protective conditions in the application for a permanent building, or else table this application,” she said. During the Nov. 2 meeting, Tom Anderson, who owns the farm that backs up to Owera, said he wanted the hours of operation cut back. “They should close at 7 p.m. like everything else,” he said. “Enough. We’re done. One fam-

ily does not deserve to ruin a residential neighborhood — that is not right.” One individual spoke in favor of the proposal. Nancy Frisbey, who originally sold the property to the Muserlian family, said she has never “had a problem with anything that has gone on” and she thought the permanent building would resolve a lot of noise issues, according to the October minutes. On Dec. 5, Planning Board Chairman Robert Ridler said Owera representatives would not be attending that night’s planning board meeting, and the application would be continued until next month. Ridler added that he did not have information regarding the status of Owera’s operations. Owera Vineyards is located at 5276 East Lake Rd., Cazenovia.

H. Grey has been invited to “pop-up” for the holiday season at The Hub in Hamilton. The location will feature H. Grey’s barista bar; popular brands, such as Momofuku, Rummo pasta, and Ritual Zero Proof Alcohol; and new brands, such as ban.do and Bridge & Burn Clothing. The business was also invited to be the featured vendor for the holiday season at

A potato a day…

our voice

The spirit of giving

It is that time of year when many of us have been making the effort to help others. The holiday season makes us acutely aware that there are many who will go without the joys many of us feel and the pleasures many of us may take for granted. Whether it is presents under the tree or gathering with friends and family for a big meal with more leftovers than we know what to do with, we know this time of year many will struggle to provide those things for their family and many more will struggle just to stay warm and fed and still many others will go without entirely. There are a number of things many of us can and often do take the opportunity to lend even a little bit of help. This can come in the form of making a donation to the food pantry or local church that helps provide meals. We can donate clothing items and hats and scarves to help others keep warm. We can donate gifts or get a name from a giving tree and give some extra presents to make Christmas a little merrier for children. We may give the extra few dollars at the checkout stand that will go to a charitable organization. All of these efforts are good and well worth doing and as the old saying goes, every little bit does indeed truly help. Perhaps this time of year the most visible and audible reminder that there are people in need are the red kettle bell ringers associated with the Salvation Army. Whether on the street or at the entrance of a store, these volunteers, the bells they are ringing and the red kettles they are using to collect are a common site and have served as a friendly reminder for decades to give a little whether it was loose pocket change or a dollar or two. But the in recent year there has been a shift in the way we shop and the way we pay. With online shopping, many are out less than they once were and many of us now rarely if at all carry cash, instead using bank and credit cards for the majority of our purchases. According to the Salvation Army, this has changed the manner in which it is able to raise the funds it uses through the year, much of which has traditionally come from these red kettles. In some areas, the Salvation Army is taking advantage of the technological advances that have taken place and offer what they are calling “Kettle Pay,” which allows the use of apps like Apple and Google Pay to make a donation. But many kettles still rely on dropping some change in. The Salvation Army has also adopted an online platform for donations as well as a campaign called Love Beyond Christmas that seeks to continue to help people beyond just the holiday season to have food, clothing and shelter. To learn more about this campaign and ways to donate visit salvationarmyusa.org. With just a few days left until Christmas, if you are able and have a few extra dollars, or even some spare change, even some change can help make a change in the lives of others, consider dropping it in one of those red kettles if you see one. These funds, even the smallest donations add up and can go a long way to help others. And as what we think of as the major part of the holiday season winds down, remember the need for support does not have a single season. And if you are able continue to show your support of local efforts like the work done by churches, food pantries and volunteer groups to help others who may not have the same advantages many of us are fortunate enough to have.

Today I sat down to think about the menus for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I was fairly pleased with myself, listing a particularly pie recipe which I recently discovered, when I noticed that on these two menus, and I suspect on most that I compile, I automatically include some form of potatoes. Brussels sprouts in bacon, all sorts of salads, glazed carrots with pistachios, and whatever trendy dish may lead the lists, but all lists must include potatoes. Come to think of it, growing up there were few meals in our house that didn’t include some form of the tuber. From the ordinary boiled potatoes that could accompany anything from a hot dog to a roast chicken, to those little white portions that soak up the heavenly of flavors in a stew, these most ordinary of the ordinary were wonderful. Memories of Sunday morning breakfasts and the crisp outside of home fries that my father would make with the left-over bacon drippings as well as the summer staple of my mother’s mayonnaise-loaded potato salad depend on a pot of boiling water and potatoes. Friday nights at our house in Brooklyn meant fried filet of flounder and homemade French fries. Mom would cut the long russets with a special crinkle cutter and then fry them twice with a resting period between each bath in the oil. We tolerated the requisite Friday fish but looked forward to the fries. Adding to the essence of the French fry was the fact that my mother was born in England so those fries were accompanied not only with catsup but also the tang of vinegar. If you haven’t tried vinegar sprinkled on French fries … you should. If you ask any of my siblings about their favorite form of potato, mashed would be the answer, but just mashed is an oversimplification for people like my parents and their relatives, who were mashed potato aficionados. Mashed potatoes were a chemical process tour de force requiring skills perfected over years of experience. The spuds had to be cut in just the right size for boiling and the time

Ramblings from the empty nest

Ann Ferro

in the boiling water was crucial. I can see my mother testing them for the right degree of doneness. Drained of the water, the potatoes stayed in the pot over the heat for a few minutes to dry up any residual wetness before the mashing began. How many times did she tell me this over the years? Using the old-fashioned potato masher, Mom would work the potatoes for a known-only-to-the-cook amount of time and effort before she added a mixture of warm milk and butter, carefully assessing how much would yield the correct degree of silkiness to the mash. Salt, pepper, maybe some parsley… some more mashing and a final mix with the big wooden spoon before the result was available for critique. On the big holidays, the mash was elevated with a concoction of potatoes, rutabagas and parsnips, a mixture attended to with the same eye for perfection. There were always mashed potatoes left over … on purpose … because the next day, those mashed lovelies would be mixed with shredded cabbage, kale or most any greens and fried with butter as colcannon. I am salivating right now. Potatoes are a member of the nightshade family of vegetables which includes tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and some distant relatives of lesser, if not more deadly reputation, e.g. mandrake and belladonna. Originating in the mists of antiquity in Peru, the potato, part of what is known as the Columbian exchange, feeds millions of people throughout the world. My father’s family, the Smithwicks, are here in the United States because of the potato famine in Ireland and my mother’s family, the Champions and Toms families, emigrated to the U.S. after WWI in search of work, bringing the English preference for potatoes in any form with them. And so it is not unusual for this vegetable to be a central part of my cultural heritage and vegetable preferences. There is one kind of potato that is, hands down, eyes up to heaven, my absolute favorite. Picture this:

It’s a warm summer night. My father is building a fire in the ersatz fireplace made of cinder blocks and old refrigerator shelves that sits behind the house in Carmel. Maybe you begin to play a game of cards with your siblings or chat with your grandparents as you wait. Family voices add to the chorus of crickets, spring peepers and other night creatures. The back screen door creeks as my grandmother brings out a small tray of pot holders. My Dad, when the fire was just right, places 8 big potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil onto the coals. The anticipation is heady. Only my Dad knew when to rake the potatoes out and the length of time for them to rest before removing the metal foils and passing them to each of us, now ready with the potholders. Set up for our use, salt, pepper and butter, real butter, not oleo, were on the small table by the door to the house. We bounced the hot potatoes back and forth between our hands until they were cool enough to eat, crisp skin and all - a paradise of carbohydrates on a warm summer night with my Dad. It’s the kind of memory that preserves the experience when it is no longer possible. It was only recently that I learned that potatoes have something called a high glycemic index which means that the starch of the potato is quickly turned into sugar, illustrated by one source as one baked potato’s sugar load being greater than that of a large glazed donut. So consuming one of these pomme de terres creates a sugar high! Potatoes make you feel better. And in today’s world, what could be wrong with that? And on my Christmas menus? It will be luscious latkes on Christmas Eve and, on Christmas Day, it will have to be the quintessential bowl of mashed potatoes made with real cream and Irish butter.

an accident or someone had slid off the road. I knew my car would not make it up the hill, especially with my thin tread tires. My options appeared to be limited. I thought we had better park the car and walk home. I pulled into the driveway of the Romano Chrysler Jeep car dealership and asked if we could park the car there and pick it up when the snow had stopped. The sales manager was not going to let this happen and asked one of his associates to take my car around back and park it and had him get one of their cars to take me home and offered to pick us up in the morning. Needless to say, what a blessing that was for us, as I never gave it a thought as to how far it was to our home, and we only had on jackets and regular shoes and the storm was not to end very quickly. On top of that, my severe neuropathy was really hurting me. I am sure we never would have made it home by walking. Other than my salvation by Jesus Christ, this act of kindness by the car dealership is the biggest and best blessing I have received in my 80 years. I cannot thank these kind people for their care and help during our time of crisis. May they be greatly blessed this Christmas with the knowledge that they sincerely made a difference in our lives. May the Lord bless them greatly. Kurt Paddock Fayetteville

Middle East and all are very closely linked to one another as they all worship the same one divine God. In different ways, all say their God declares those who help others and lift their spirits will be happy in this life as well as the next – the Golden Rule. Thanks again for your letter, Mr. Coufal. That clarification was certainly needed. Charles Mirucki Fayetteville

FROM THE MAILBAG

Menorah on display

To the editor: If you take a stroll down Albany Street this week, you’ll see something unusual in the window of the Presbyterian Manse. Beginning Dec.. 7, I’ll be displaying a menorah. This traditional Chanukah decoration isn’t common in most Christian households (much less in the homes of Christian ministers), but I’ve decided to display one anyway – not because I’m celebrating, but because my friends and neighbors are. Earlier this year, antisemitic literature was distributed throughout our village community. While local law enforcement acted quickly in the matter, this combined with the spike in antisemitism since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel has left many of the Jewish members of our community on edge. While I celebrate Christmas freely without fear of becoming the target of violence, they simply don’t. By displaying a menorah, I want to send a clear and poignant message: Hate has no home here. I want my Jewish friends and neighbors to know that they are safe with me and, more importantly that they are safe in the community they call home. For this reason, I’m inviting others within the community – businesses and private individuals - to join in the display of this holiday symbol. Let’s let our Jewish neighbors know that they are loved and wanted here, that they aren’t in this by themselves. Happy Holidays to all. Rev. Anna C. Gheen Pastor, First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia

My greatest present

Christmas

To the editor: On Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 28, heading east on Genesee Street toward our home in Fayetteville, the snow had already turned into “grease” on the highway, and traffic was a mess. As my wife and I went down the hill into Fayetteville, we could see the other side of the hill was tied up. In the distance we saw a police car’s flashing lights, and knew there was either

Clarifying ‘religious faiths’

To the editor: I thank Jim Coufal for his opinion about Kevin Curtis’s and my published opinion regarding “traditional religious faiths.” It appears those words do need my clarification. Before I begin, I wish to point out to Mr. Coufal, Google defines “denominations” as organized branches of the Christian church – not religious faiths. The traditional religious faiths I wrote of are Judaism, Islam and Christianity. I consider them as such because of their origins and commonality. They all began about the same time in history in the

Making the holidays special

To the editor: As we get into the holiday season, I wanted to thank everyone who has made our village holiday celebrations such a success, It was great to see so many people at our annual tree lighting, memory tree lighting & Menorah lighting ceremonies. It truly does take a village to make these events happen, special thanks to our recreation committee for putting together the tree lighting ceremony, to our senior center for keeping the memory tree tradition alive and getting stronger with our new memory tree donated by the McIntosh family in honor of former Mayor McIntosh. To Rabbi Rapoport for helping us light the village Menorah in the upper village. I also want to thank our DPW who makes sure all these events go off without a hitch, to our fire department for decorating the village hall & fire house areas and for making sure we have everything we need to make these events special, to the fireman’s association for sponsoring a horse drawn wagon and to Karen Shepardson in the village clerk’s office who coordinates these events. We are truly fortunate to live in a village that keeps these important traditions alive but more important is the support of these events by the residents of our special village. On behalf of the Village of Fayetteville I want to wish all of you a happy holiday season with your family, friends and neighbors. Thank you again for supporting these amazing events. Mark Olson Mayor of Fayetteville

sure know who’s paying them and they sure know which teams get the higher TV ratings. Even darker is the precedent this might set once the 12-team playoff arrives. No matter what the results on the field, the CFP committee can use the same twisted standard to knock down any non-name program and make their path to a title more difficult. Say that, in the new enlarged Big 12, an Oklahoma State or Arizona State, has an 11-1 season and then wins the conference title game. With four big conferences left, that would justify a top-four seed, right? Sure, but only if the process was truly objective. Based on what we’ve seen, if it’s close between a member of the proletariat and an overlord – say, one that wears crimson, or maize and blue – the latter will always get some leeway and the former will not. Again, it must be emphasized – this happens at no other level of football. Everywhere else, playoffs whose criteria are objective determines championships. Albany got to the FCS quarterfinals. Cortland State reached the semifinals in Division III. They both had fine regular seasons, and when given a

fair chance to prove their worth in a genuine playoff, they did so. What a concept! Like so many others (including entire fan bases in a majority of the country), what I fear in the 12-team CFP is that established bullies – not to name names, SEC – will browbeat future committees into reserving most or all of the at-large spots for them at the expense of others with better resumes but smaller cash reserves. To this day, a sizable portion of college football fans wish for a return to the pre-playoff, pre-BCS days of outsized regular seasons and a small bowl season that ended on New Year’s Day. It’s almost like they enjoy the suffering and heartbreak of so many. What is an absolute certainty is that, 12 months from now, if Florida State does make its way to the expanded playoffs, they’ll have more fans than ever, in large part because they’ll remember how the Seminoles were treated this year, a worthy team deemed worthless through absolutely no fault of their own.

Years Ago in History By Cindy Bell Tobey

12 Years Ago – Dec. 14, 2011

Following the removal and replanting of 11 trees under power lines along Lincklaen Street this past spring, National Grid recently presented the village of Cazenovia with $550. The funds were given through the company’s “10,000 Trees and Growing” program, awarding $50 for each qualifying tree that was correctly planted under existing power lines. Deputy Mayor Amy Mann, the village’s tree commissioner, accepted a check from Brian Skinner and Jim Maloney, from National Grid’s forestry division, on Dec 5. “On behalf of National Grid, we are pleased to help support the recent efforts of the village [tree commission] in their progress to increase the community tree population by using the ‘right-tree-rightplace’ selection methods.”

10 Years Ago – Dec. 11, 2013

“Hilltop,” the Dorothy Riester house and art studio in the Stone Quarry Art Park in Cazenovia, soon will be added to both the State and National Register of Historic Places, according to an announcement from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. It was one of 33 properties the New York State Board for Historic Preservation last week recommended for inclusion to the two historic registers – and the only park in Madison County. “This is a big deal, [but] for me it’s a recognition of Dorothy Riester,” said John Hunt, president of the SQHAP board of directors. “The studio is part of it too, along

with the house- the state felt it important that the studio by included in the petition. So it’s really around Dorothy’s creation of the facility and her works.”

7 Years Ago – Dec. 14, 2016

Should there be a YMCA in Cazenovia? Efforts are currently underway to investigate the need and the desire of the community to have such a facility in either the village or town. The idea, if wanted by residents, may not mean the construction of a massive new building within the community, however – there are concepts being considered to center it at Cazenovia College and offer YMCA programs at various existing satellite locations throughout the village, such as Common Grounds or Cazenovia district school buildings. “The YMCA does not build YMCAs; communities build YMCAs. The YMCA is a locally owned charity – it is owned by the community that runs it – every YMCA is different, no two are alike, so it could take a lot of forms,” said Chris Iven, executive director, East Area Family YMCA, who is part of the Cazenovia discussion. “It’s what a community wants and needs, combined with what the community has as assets – where those two meet is often where you could have a YMCA.”

5 Years Ago – Dec. 12, 2018

After 18 months of work, the joint Cazenovia village/town Consolidation Committee has concluded that a consolidation of the two municipalities would not be in the best interest of the community. History l Page 11

Girls indoor track wins big by Phil Blackwell

For the second time in as many weeks, the Cazenovia girls indoor track and field team proved itself as superior to almost any other opponent, large school or small. The Lakers had another impressive outing at last Wednesday’s Oscar B. Jensen Memorial Relays at SRC Arena as it earned 86.5 points to top 19 other teams including Class AA powers Liverpool and FayettevilleManlius. Only the powerhouse Cicero-North Syracuse squad (126.5) topped Cazenovia, but that didn’t keep the Lakers from posting five state qualifier meet-eligible performances during the competition, three of them by Susie Pittman. All Pittman did was lead the team with a 9-foot effort to win the pole vault as she tied her personal best for indoor track with the height. She returned to clear a season best of 4’10” to place third in the high jump and set a new personal indoor best of 33’11 1/4” for third in the triple jump. But Pittman had had plenty of help in all three events. Maura Phillips and

Ella Gale each cleared 6’6” to score in the pole vault, Meghan Mehlbaum (4’8”) and Claire Marris (personal best of 4’6”) also scored in the high jump and Eleanor Mongeau hit 29’6 3/4” to score in the triple jump. Marris also led the Laker effort in her first attempt at the 55 meter hurdles with a time of 10.72 seconds. Maddie Rothfeld continued her strong senior season and got a victory of her own, winning the shot put with an indoor best of 30’3” and capturing fourth in the weight throw at 33’2 1/4”. Alayna Berson backed her up in the shot as she qualified for sectionals with a 25’9” throw. Tara Pratt showed rapid improvement as she reached 24-7 in the weight throw. Sophomore Audie Spring was the other event winner for the Lakers, leaping to an alltime best of 15’10 1/4” to take first in the long jump and earn a bid to the sectional state qualifier. Spring also topped the team in the 55-meter dash with an 8.09 second effort. Reid McMurtrie led Cazenovia on the track, qualifying for sectionals and placing fourth in her first attempt at the 1,000-

Cazenovia girls indoor track and field star Susie Pittman was victorious in the pole vault in last Wednesday’s Oscar B. Jensen Memorial Relays at SRC Arena, where she topped 9 feet to win it. meter run in 3:20.1 with teammate Olivia Ruddy close behind to earn sixth in a personal best of 3:27.37. McMurtrie also hit the sectional standard in her first try in the 300-meter dash this season with a time of 45.96 seconds. Izzy Stromer-Galley led the Lakers in the 300 as she took sixth place in 45.41. Stromer-Galley also

anchored the 4x200 meter relay team to their fastest time of the season as they placed fourth in 1:55.10. Meghan Mehlbaum, Dinah Gifford and Caroline Mehlbaum also contributed to relay. Maura Phillips led the Cazenovia contingent in the 600-meter run with a season best time of 1:49.83, just ahead of teammate Lily Kogut who was less than a half

second off the sectional mark with a clocking of 1:51.98. Phillips also led off Cazenovia’s third place 4x400 meter relay as Marris, Caroline Mehlbaum and Margaret Huftalen all contributed to their total of 4:36.68. Gifford and Kate Millson each scored in the 3,000 while Abbie Comeau (5:35.29) dropped 16 seconds from

her week one time to lead a trio of Lakers in the 1,500 as Zoey Gagne and Maeve McGreevy also ran season bests. Cazenovia will have one more shot at the powerful Northstars in 2023 as they both return to SRC Arena this Saturday to face another large field of Syracuse-area schools in the George Constantino Memorial Invitational.

Caz boys indoor track wins second straight meet by Phil Blackwell

Twice this winter, the Cazenovia boys indoor track and field team has gone to Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena, faced up to big competition and topped all of them. It happened again last Wednesday night during the first session of the Oscar B. Jensen Holiday Relays, where the Lakers put up 91.5 points and beat 19 challengers, including Cicero-North Syracuse, who was second with 85 points.

Connor Frisbie had a trio of top individual efforts, culminating with the triple jump, where he went 41 feet 7 ¾ inches, a new personal mark, to beat the 40’10 3/4” from Liverpool’s Ny’Quez Madison. Frisbie went 19’9 3/4” in the long jump to finish third, Braden Carnahan going 18’9 1/2” for sixth place, and added a third-place time of 8.56 seconds in the 55-meter hurdles, good for six team points. Jaden Kaplan led the Lakers on the track, going

one minute, 28.48 seconds to prevail in the 600-meter run over the 1:28.43 from CNS’s Dante Melfi as Tristan Field-Bradley finished fourth in a personal-best 1:31.62. Elliot Comeau, by clearing 6 feet for the first time in his high school career, won the high jump as no one else topped 5’8” and Judah Ossont tied for sixth with 5’4”. Then, in the final race of the night, Kaplan, FieldBradley, Comeau and Wyatt Scott paired up to go 3:45.26

and dominate the 4x400 relay, nearly six seconds clear of the Northstars’ 3:51.03. Jake Woolbert went a season-best 2:54.64 to finish third in the 1,000-meter run, adding a fourth in the 3,200meter run in 10:22.32. Finn Worthington took fourth in the 300-meter dash in 39.70 seconds, a new personal mark, with Killian Blouin clearing 10’6” for fourth in the pole vault as Caleb Gillmore was ninth with 9 feet. Gilmore also finished 10 th in the 1,600-meter run in 5:02.02.

Ethan Burry had a fourthplace weight throw of 43’5” and took second-place team honors with Jonathan Sweet, who tossed it 41’10 1/2” for sixth place. Burry also finished ninth in the shot put with a throw of 37’2”. Chittenango was also at last Wednesday’s Jensen meet, with Evan Lindsey sixth in the boys shot put, heaving it 38’6 1/4”, and Hannah Wagner taking eighth in the girls 55-meter hurdles in 10.14 seconds.

Cazenovia wrestlers go 1-4 at Morrisville-Eaton Duals by Phil Blackwell

When up against large-scale competition for the first time this winter, the Cazenovia wrestling team dealt with plenty of adversity as it traveled to nearby Morrisville-Eaton on Dec. 2 for that school’s annual dual meet. Only once did the Lakers finish on top, edging East Syracuse Minoa 39-36 as, in the key bout at 170 pounds, Finn Tobin did just enough to earn a 6-4 decision over Charles English. Evan Rice, at 190 pounds, pinned Dylan Hanuszczak in 24 seconds, with Broden Enders (160 pounds) getting a 61-second pin over Aden Dewald. Jacob Gentner ( 138 pounds) claimed

an injury default. Forfeits went to Gryphon Foster (101 pounds), Isaac Gentner (108 pounds) and Gabriel Sanchez (152 pounds). Elsewhere at that meet, Cazenovia lost 51-24 to host Morrisville-Eaton, fell 40-27 to Whitesboro and were overwhelmed by Jamesville-DeWitt/CBA (50-21) and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill (54-17) in the other two matches. Foster and Enders both were a perfect 5-0 on the day, with Jacob Gentner taking four of his five bouts. Now, facing Southern Hills last Wednesday night, Cazenovia found itself in its second close head-to-head match in as many weeks and, as was the

case with Canastota, taking a defeat, in this case 33-28. Foster’s pin of Presley Homer in 58 seconds and a forfeit to Isaac Gentner got the Lakers in front. Evan Rutecki (131 pounds) pinned Ray Carr in the second period, with Broden Enders and Bryce Enders also getting pins, but Southern Hills swept the four highest weight classes, with only Tobin’s bout, a 5-0 defeat to Aiden Moltion, proving close. A night earlier, Chittenango had its first OHSL meet of the season against Marcellus, only claiming two of the 10 contested bouts on the card during a 52-18 loss to the Mustangs. They started at 138, and Marcellus

swept every bout, including 160, where Edward Geer fell to Trevor Rankin 6-4 in overtime, before Timothy Dunn (215 pounds) got the Bears on the board, pinning Jayden Abbott late in the second period. Dan Mahle (131 pounds) got his own pin over Jack Burton in the closing seconds of their bout and Kamryn Coonrod (124 pounds) got a forfeit. In another close bout at 116 pounds, Trevor McDonald lost 4-3 to Knoll McCoy. Chittenango went to East Syracuse Minoa’s Hall of Fame Tournament last Saturday, just as Cazenovia was taking part in the Phoenix Round Robin.

Cazenovia hockey runs win streak to four by Phil Blackwell

hen it welcomed reigning state Division I champion West Genesee to the Morrisville State IcePlex Tuesday night, the Cazenovia ice hockey team owned a four-game win streak, all of it earned within an eightday span. Having won at the Ontario Bay Tournament Dec. 1 and 2, the Lakers were off until last Thursday night, when it again traveled north and again had a strong showing, this time defeating Watertown IHC 5-2. All of Cazenovia’s damage was ren-

dered in the first two periods, when it tore to a 5-0 advantage and, as a further benefit, displayed just how much scoring depth it might possess. Five different players – Jack Penoyer, Jake Hightchew, Shamus Newcomb, Nat Gale and Jack Donlin- took turns netting goals. And though goalie Ezra Stahlberg’s long shutout streak halted in the third period, he still made enough stops to keep IHC from getting too close. A much shorter trip followed on Friday night, Cazenovia going to Clinton Arena to face the Clinton side that this year adopted “Comets” as its new nickname, a tribute to the professional

Caz girls hoops dominates Solvay for first win of season by Phil Blackwell

A season-opening defeat to Homer on Nov. 30 did not linger too long for the Cazenovia girls basketball team as it began a busy December slate. In fact, when the Lakers took on Solvay last Monday night, it played smothering defense, shutting down close to the entire Bearcats lineup on the way to a 46-15 victory. Neither side did much in the first half, Cazenovia only up 14-8 at the break, but then it caught fire in the third quarter, scoring 28 points in that frame to triple its total and put Solvay away. In fact, outside of Ciara Togni’s 11 points, only one Bearcats player, Janiya Walters, even had a field goal. On Thursday night, Cazenovia was scheduled to play at Syracuse Academy of Science, but it got postponed, the Lakers having to wait to return to action for games this week against LaFayette and its namesakes from Skaneateles. In its only action last week, Chittenango ran straight into JamesvilleDeWitt and struggled to produce much in a 50-25 defeat to the Red Rams. Still, the Bears did lead early, going up 8-6 after one period before J-D took over with a dominant run that covered the entire second and third periods and saw the Rams outscore Chittenango 35-7. Abby Scheidelman did manage 10 points, with Dominique Brown picking up 14 rebounds and Isabelle Damon six rebounds, but J-D saw Ava Sandroni nearly equal the Bears by herself, scoring 23 points with help from Merris Kessler’s eight points.

Will Tiger win another PGA tour event? This seems to be the “hot topic” in CNY golf circles these days since Tiger Woods returned to the PGA Tour two weeks ago when he played in the Hero World Championship. He ended up in 18th place in the 20 man field and went home with $130,000. Scottie Scheffler won the tournament by 3 strokes over Sepp Straka and went home with $1million and won by 20 strokes over Tiger. It was Tigers first tournament back on Tour since the Masters, where he had to withdraw in the 3rd round because of an injury to his plantar fasciitis. Back to the Hero World Championship… Tiger got through all four rounds and played pretty well except for an opening round of 75. He said this in an interview with the press, “I was excited each and every day to kind of get through it and kind of start piecing rounds together again. I haven’t done this in a long time so it was fun to feel that again”. Most of the TV golf analysts believe there is a lot to be optimistic about…including his 19 birdies in four rounds, to go along with the 15 bogeys and two double bogeys. Tiger said, “I think the best part of the week was the way I drove it. I pretty much drove it on a string all week. So it’s not like I have to go and try to find something the next few weeks or something going into next year”. Jim “Bones” Mackay, the long time caddy for Phil Mickelson now caddying for Justin Thomas said, “He hit a 4 iron on the 8th hole… and just the sound of it was unlike any other iron shot you hear”. Even Branden Chamblee, the Golf Channel analyst said, “He’s creating more speed than I thought he would be capable of, so a wonderful and important surprise there. Over all I like the lines and look of his swing”. And Tiger never shied away from repeating his early week comment that he would like to play a tournament a month this season”. I have decided to contact several of CNY’S finest golf minds, over the next several weeks to get a “yes” or “no” answer to the question…Will Tiger Win Another PGA Tour Event? So far, the only responses I have received include a “YES” from both Todd Dischinger and Ron Ajemian as well as a “NO” from Don Christian. Others I intend to ask are, Trey Walewski, Hank Fust, Roy Barnes, Sandy Burton, Jack Conger, Joe Tesori, Dr. Holly Noun, Kathie Dyson, Tom Gorman, Jim Roy, Chuck Jonick, Jim Lerch, Mike Lindsley, Ron Mack, Adam Schupak, Ken Bodley, Bill Moore and certainly Coach Jim Boeheim. As you can

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. Perry Noun can be heard on “Tee Time With The Pronoun” on... News Radio 570 WSYR and 106.9FM.

see, the list is formidable and my guess is that 65-75% of them will say “YES”. It’s time for me to answer the question… For purely selfish reasons, I would love to see Tiger win another Major and 17 more, so he can get his total victories on the PGA Tour to “100”. I believe we all know that is not going to happen. I decided to do some research on Tiger’s career on the PGA Tour to determine if there are any reasons for me to answer “YES” or “NO” by using facts, logic and Father Time as my guide. Although I found out Tiger is an extraordinary, marvelous, and exceptional specimen of a “Bionic” human being, there is no good reason for me to answer “YES”. My answer is “NO” based on the following; his past injuries, his age…and his history of incurring injuries…too often to ignore. TIGERS “30” INJURIES SINCE 1994…AS REPORTED BY “THE GOLF INSIDERS”… 1994- Two tumors and scar tissue removed…2002- Fluid drained and cysts removed…2006 Injured muscle muscle in shoulder blade… 2007- Ruptured ACL…2008- Surgery to repair cartilage…2008- Surgery to repair ACL…2008- Double stress fracture…2008Torn achilles tendon…2010-Inflamed facet joint…2011…re-injured achilles tendon…2011- MCL sprain…2011-Achilles strain…2012- Re-strain of achilles…2013Left elbow strain…2014-Severe spasms… 2014- Surgery on pinched nerve…2014… Microdiscectomy surgery…2015- Follow-up surgery…2015- Surgery to remove bone fragments…2015- Follow-up surgery…2017Severe back spasms…2017- Anterior lumbar fusion…2019- Acute neck sprain…2019Oblique strain…2019- Surgery to repair cartilage…2021- Fractured tibia and fibula… 2021-Surgery to remove bone fragment… 2021- Surgery to insert screws…2023-Plantar fasciitis…2023-Surgery to fuse ankle.

Bears’ Moesch scores 123 points in three-game span by Phil Blackwell

Even with a Section III Class B title and many standout individual efforts, Chittenango boys basketball junior Ryan Moesch might never enjoy a night compared to what he did last Friday at Auburn- though he sure did try. In the opening round of the Maroons’ More Than A Game Tournament, Moesch achieved two different milestones while carrying the Bears to an 82-65 victory – and did so with special company on hand. Entering the game with 980 career points, Moesch would gain the 20 points he needed to reach 1,000, doing so with older brother Alex (now at Hobart College) on hand to witness it. But Moesch did much more. Having helped Chittenango build a 43-29 halftime lead, he made sure all of Auburn’s comeback attempts get thwarted with a stunning shooting performance. Between eight field goals, seven 3-pointers and 11 successful free throws, Moesch achieved 48 points overall, a new career mark and one of the best single-game totals in program history, negating a 28-point effort by the Maroons’ Johntae Smith. After Moesch’s signature performance against Auburn, he nearly matched it a day later and helped Chittenango win the tournament, defeating Section II’s Ballston Spa by a 74-63 margin. Another fast start for the Bears involved grabbing a 28-11 edge before Ballston Spa managed to regroup and close the gap to 37-28 by halftime. Every time it got tense, though, Moesch did something. Hitting on 13 field goals, three of them 3-pointers, plus 11 free throws amounted to 40 points, and he got more help this time

as Jacob Bell earned 14 points and Jacob Cheek earned 12 points. Before all this, Moesch and the Bears offered an emphatic response to its season-opening loss to Bishop Ludden in the Dec. 2 Peppino’s Invitational, going to Cortland last Tuesday and smashing the Purple Tigers 69-30. During a first-half offensive eruption, the Bears pushed the tempo and Cortland had no answer for it, with a 25-8 start and a 26-2 sprint through the second quarter that created a 51-10 halftime margin. Already, the Bears had more than enough, and Moesch would ultimately outscore the entire Purple Tigers roster, finishing with 35 points. Otherwise, things were spread out between 10 other players who earned a field goal, none netting more than Jack Lamphere’s total of nine points. A victory in the Dec. 1-2 SherburneEarlville Tournament had given Cazenovia a sense of belief that its recent struggles might be in the past. Yet those struggles returned last week, starting on Tuesday where the Lakers met Solvay in its home opener at Buckley Gym and, despite solid production, lost 77-68 to the Bearcats. Hot early shooting had Cazenovia up 22-16 through one period. Solvay erased it, though, moving out in front 41-35 by halftime and building the margin to 63-51 before the third quarter was done. Ben Bianco and Tanner Lawson did all they could, Bianco pouring in 30 points and Lawson getting 22 points as Alex Kuper got nine points. The Bearcats held on led by Jeff Sharpe’s 26 points, Luis Mojica’s 19 points and A.J. Trendell’s 11 points. Then, in Saturday’s Syracuse City Invitational, Cazenovia fell to PSLA-

Fowler 66-45, the Falcons building a 37-20 edge by halftime as Ponce Williams and Jayderr White had 20 points apiece.

Chittenango volleyball beats Canastota in four sets by Phil Blackwell

Two girls volleyball programs with vast amounts of success, and in close proximity to one another, got together last Monday ngiht for another classic battle. It was Chittenango hosting Canastota, and after going back and forth in the early going, the Bears steadily gained control and closed with quite a flourish to prevail in four sets over the Raiders. All started well for Chittenango as it won the opening set 25-16. Then Canastota played its best in the second set, with strong serves and net play to earn a 25-20 win and pull even. Yet once the Bears won a convincing third set 25-17, things really accelerated in the fourth, Chittenango not doing much wrong and closing out the match 25-3. Julia Spencer’s eight aces keyed the late runaway, which added to a night where she had a team-best 14 kills and 10 digs as Stephanie Huckabee and Alex Sylstra earned three aces apiece. Huckabee also got eight kills and played superb defense, amassing 28 digs. Jadyn Seguin had 11 digs, with Sylstra and Ally Smith equaling Spencer’s 10 digs and back-line duties split by Sylstra, with 14 assists, and Cate McGork, who earned 13 assists. Caroline Litman finished with eight digs. At Weedsport 24 hours later, the Bears got through the first set 25-21 and dominated the second 25-11. Though Weedsport extended the match 25-20 in the third, by that exact same score Chittenango closed out the match in four sets. Defensively, Huckabee earned 18 digs, ahead of 15 digs from Seguin, 13 digs from Spencer and 11 digs from Sylstra, who also got five assists. McGork earned 10 assists as Huckabee earned four kills, Smith and Caroline Porter each adding three kills. Then there was Friday’s match against visiting Port Byron, which saw the Bears tear through the first two sets 25-14 and 25-9 before closing out the Panthers 25-20 in the third for another sweep. Tougher matches could await this week, Chittenango facing Oneida Monday before a key Thursday match against Christian Brothers Academy.
