‘CAzENOvIA 2030 AND BEyOND’

bOe discusses future of school district’s transportation facility, states’s electric fleet mandates

By kATE HILL Staff Writer

During the Dec. 19 Cazenovia Central School District Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Christopher DiFulvio and James Bouffard, senior architectural designer at Tetra Tech Architects & Engineers, presented an update on the district’s “Cazenovia 2030 And Beyond” long-range facilities plan and its ongoing capital project development.

The focus of the report was the district’s Route 20 transportation facility, which was built around 1976 as a pole barn and later converted into a transportation facility to service vehicles.

The current facility, which includes a small addition made around 2000, measures 7,240 square feet. The building is one story with a storage mezzanine, four service bays, one wash bay, and aboveground and in-ground bus lifts.

“It has been identified for a while that that building has issues,” said Bouffard. “. . . It’s lived a very useful life, but it started its life as something very different than what it is being used for today.”

Bouffard said that when considering the long-term future of the bus garage, the district and Tetra Tech are focused on the facility’s operations, safety and security, and the infrastructure that keeps the

building functional.

Another key consideration, according to Bouffard, is New York’s future electric fleet mandates, which state that all new school bus purchases must be zero emission by 2027 and all school buses on the road must be fully electric by 2035.

The issues with the bus garage include a leaky roof, poor indoor and outdoor lighting, flooding on the floor due to poor drainage, an in-ground lift and a wash bay that are at about the end of their useful lives, corroding siding, poor ventilation in the shop area, and the fact that drivers currently walk through the mechanic area to get out to their buses and have to watch for falling snow and ice shed from the roof during colder seasons.

DiFulvio said the bus garage needs up to $14 million worth of work and pointed out that there are concerns that the current facility might not be able to accommodate the new infrastructure needed for electric buses.

The presentation also highlighted that the current bus garage site might not be large enough to meet the needs of a new building with space for buses. If that is the case, the district will need to determine where a new garage would go.

DiFulvio and Bouffard emphasized that the facility’s issues have been present and documented for several years. Given the cost of

the repairs that are needed, staterequired building condition surveys from two separate firms have suggested that the building be replaced.

“About a year ago, I had a minivan that I eventually got rid of,” said DiFulvio. “Over the course of three months, three different repairs came up; each repair was over $5,000 and the van was worth $8,000. It gets to

a point where you’ve just got to decide, ‘How much more am I going to keep putting into this existing [thing]?’”

He added that his concerns about the facility’s current issues are exacerbated by the added consideration that all New York State school districts will be required to start purchasing electric buses in 2027.

Bouffard then explained that

the infrastructure work required to meet the needs of an electric bus fleet could be phased in over a few years. He also pointed out that a new bus garage and the electric fleet conversion are on “separate but parallel paths.”

“You can do a new transportation facility, if you so choose, at any time,” said Bouffard. “There

Cazenovia businesses team up to support LGBTQIA youth

By kATE HILL Staff Writer

Throughout the months of December and January, two Cazenovia businesses, are selling candles to raise funds for LGBTQIA programs in Madison County.

Otis + Matilda New York — a footwear, accessories, and home boutique at 65 Albany St. — and Purpose Coffee Co., a full-service coffee house at 35 Albany St., will donate all the funds raised minus expenses to BRiDGES Madison County initiatives that support LGBTQIA youth.

The signature 12-ounce “Pride with Purpose” candles are contained in hand-painted rainbow jars. The coffee & marshmallowscented candles are 100 percent all-natural soy wax with crackling wood wicks with approximately 70 hours of burn time.

According to Derek Clark, owner of Otis + Matilda, the name of the candle serves as a reminder that every LGBTQIA child needs to know they have a purpose in life, and they should always be proud of who they are.

“This is about seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child and supporting a

community of local kids that don’t always receive the benefits needed from downstate funding,” said Clark in a press release announcing the Pride with Purpose initiative. “Join us in celebrating the holidays at the halfway mark of June Pride and showing these kids they all have purpose. In addition, this is an incredible opportunity for Otis + Matilda to partner with one of their favorite local businesses and BRiDGES Madison County to ‘give back’ to the LGBTQIA community. We are focused on raising awareness and funding with a reminder that everyone’s generosity is needed year-round to keep our LGBTQIA youth, their families, and allies engaged and safe.”

The mission of BRiDGES is to be a leader in providing advocacy, resources, and services to the local community, the workforce, families, and individuals through the delivery of prevention and intervention programs that promote change, strengthen families, and build healthy communities.

With support from the CNY Community Foundation, BRiDGES formed an LGBTQIA Network in 2017 in Madison County. Housed at BRiDGES, the network is a resource for LGBTQIA

individuals and groups and their allies. The goal of the network is to enhance existing supports and resources, identify gaps and needs for services, and bring together the community to raise awareness, increase support, and reduce isolation. In addition, the network organizes Pride events throughout the county each June and runs a weekly LGBTQIA social group for youth to build safe bonds with their peers.

“In 2016, noting the gap in resources and supports for members of the LGBTQIA community and their families in Madison County, BRiDGES began to expand its work and focus in this area,” said BRiDGES Executive Director Maureen Campanie in the press release. “Data from the Trevor Project estimates that at least one LGBTQIA youth between the ages of 1324 attempts suicide every 45 seconds in the United States. LGBTQIA youth who report having at least one accepting adult are 40 percent less likely to attempt suicide over a 12month period. Partnerships like the one between Otis + Matilda, Purpose Coffee Co., and BRiDGES are one way in which organizations in Madison County are coming together to make local changes that support members of

our own community.”

The Pride with Purpose candles are $50 and are available at the Otis + Matilda retail store, at Purpose Coffee Co., and online at OtisAndMatilda.com. If either business runs out of candles, they will take special orders and ship them as quickly as possible.

Customers who purchase Pride with Purpose candles from either business (including OtisAndMatilda.com) will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win an Otis + Matilda rainbow handbag (retail value $105) or a Purpose Coffee Co. gift basket (retail value $58). Two winners will be chosen, one for each prize.

Upon opening in August 2022, Otis + Matilda committed to giving back to two local community organizations a year.

Clark, who has been fundraising and mentoring LGBTQIA youth since 2016, said he was eager to support a local LGBTQIA youth organization.

He came up with the idea of selling candles based on the success of Otis + Matilda’s candle business. He first reached out to his candle vendor to get them on board and then asked Debbie Tillson, owner of Purpose Coffee Co.

to join the effort.

“I remember thinking about how much I love [Debbie’s] spirit and compassion,” said Clark. “It’s exactly what the LGBTQIA community needs, especially the LGBTQIA youth community. She jumped on board with no resistance.”

Clark and Tillson teamed up to choose the name for the candle, the scent, and the organization receiving the donation.

“The LGBTQIA youth in Central New York are very fortunate to have the support and resources provided through BRiDGES,” said Tillson. “For Purpose Coffee

Co. to have the opportunity to be a small part in supporting their efforts through our Pride with Purpose campaign is truly a privilege.”

Tillson added that she opened her business in February 2022 with two main goals — to provide the best organic, locally roasted coffee available and to brew with purpose.

“Each and every person is perfect,” she said. “They have value and purpose exactly how they are.”

Clark said he is confident the Pride with Purpose campaign will be a success, due in large part to Cazenovia’s

for

youth programs in Madison County.

Caz girls indoor track second at Jensen meet

By kuRT WHEELER

The Cazenovia girls indoor track team followed up on its season-opening win with another strong performance at the Oscar Jensen Memorial Relays Sunday at SRC Arena.

Scoring in every event, the Lakers earned 62 points, good for second place in the 17-team field. Only Class AA power CiceroNorth Syracuse (105) outscored Cazenovia.

Senior Caitlyn Smithers contributed to two of the Lakers’ top finishes in the relay-style meet. She cleared a personal record of 7 feet 6 inches in the pole vault to partner with Faith Wheeler (7 feet) for second in that event. Sophie Reger also achieved a personal best, sectional height of 7 feet in the vault.

Smithers returned to clock 7.85 seconds in the 55-meter dash, her best yet. Combined with Riley Knapp’s 7.82, the duo earned sec-

ond place as each hit the sectional qualifying standard.

Izzy Stromer-Galley was also dynamite for Cazenovia, hitting a sectional time of 1:49.51 in the 600-meter run and partnering with Julia Reff (1:52.24) for third place. She recovered quickly to post a 46.47 (just .03 from sectionals) two events later to combine with Meghan Mehlbaum (49.06) for third as a relay.

Zoey Gagne paced the Lakers’ distance runners to a pair of fourth place finishes as she completed the 1,500 in 5:44.20 and the 3,000 in a personal record time of 12:22.55. She teamed up with Maeve McGreevy (5:46.45) for the score in the 1,500 and with Haylee Stearns (13:01.79) in the 3,000.

Faith Wheeler was also tough on the track, running a personal best of 3:25.86 in the 1,000 to lead Cazenovia’s fourth-place effort there with Kate Millson (3:50.60).

Corinne Albicker (best ever time of 10.55) and Skye Stanford (11.57)

closed out the team’s scoring on the track with an eighth-place finish in the 55 meter hurdles.

Albicker returned to lead the team in the jumps as she finished third as an individual in the long jump with a sectional distance of 14’5” and partnered with Reid McMurtrie (12’2”) for second as a duo. She also reached 29’2” in the triple jump to team up with Erin Kuhn (26’3 ¾”) for fourth.

Meghan Mehlbaum had another great week in the high jump, hitting 4’6” to earn seventh with teammate Maura Phillips (4’2”).

Maddy Rothfeld topped with Lakers’ throwers with an exceptional toss of 28’8” in the weight throw, the best for Cazenovia in two years, to surpass the sectional mark and team with Karly Vass (22’11”) for fourth place. Rothfeld also led in the shot put with a 23’11” effort to combine with Vaas’ 22’7 ¾” for seventh.

The Lakers’ exceptional team depth and versatility was on

Cazenovia Presbyterian Church announces Christmas Eve services

The Cazenovia Presbyterian Church will hold a Christmas Eve Family Worship Service Saturday, Dec. 24 at 4 p.m.

Courtney Guarneiri, church school coordinator will give welcoming remarks. Shelly Brooks and family will light the traditional Christ Candle in the middle of the advent wreath.

The service begins with Concerto Grosso in G minor, Op.6, No.8 composed by Arcangelo Corelli in the late 1600’s. Known commonly as his Christmas Concerto, the piece will be played by a String Ensemble led by Mary Coburn on violin. Coburn, a graduate of the Crane School of Music and Ithaca College, is the string instructor and orchestra conductor for the Cazenovia Central Schools. Other members of the group are Maddie Fikorn and Brendan Coffey on violin; and Joanna Robertson and Ethan Coburn on cello. This string ensemble will also perform Luigi Boccerini’s

widely known minuet, String Quintet.

The Christmas story that will be presented was originally written by former pastor, Benjamin Lake. The story begins with the Annunciation and Mary learning that she will give birth to the Son of God. Mary then travels to share the news with her cousin Elizabeth. Meanwhile Caesar Augustus sent out a degree that all men must go to their native city to be registered. So Joseph travels with his future wife, Mary, to the city of Bethlehem.

While in Bethlehem, Mary gives birth. Angels visit some shepherds and shares this good news with them and the shepherds go to find the Christ child. Astrologers from the East come searching for the child who is born to be king of the Jews.

Things get complicated with King Herod so Joseph, Mary and the child take flight into Egypt. The story ends with the Innkeeper sharing his thoughts about the birth of the Christ

Child in his lowly manger.

The entire story will be presented by the young members of the Church School. Favourite Christmas Carols with be sung in between each scene of the story.

The Senior Choir will sing the “Christmas Lullaby” by George Stone with soloists Abi and Becca Brooks and Alyssa Scott.

The service will conclude with members of the congregation lighting individual candles while singing Silent Night.

The lyrics to this carol were written in German by Father Joseph Mohr with a melody composed by organist Franz Xaver Guber. Both gentlemen performed the carol for the first time on Christmas Eve in 1818 at the St. Nicholas Church in Salzburg Austria.

The church will hold a Christmas Eve Candlelight Vigil Service Saturday at 11 p.m. The call to worship will be led Ruling Elder Leigh Garbor. The service will have numerous read-

ings of Scripture as well as Taize songs.

O Holy Night will be sung by sopranos Shelly Brooks. This celebrated Christmas carol also known as Cantique de Noel was composed by Aldophe Adam in 1847 to the French poem Midnight, Christian by Placide Cappeaus.. The text reflects on the birth of Jesus and mankind’s redemption. Shelly teaches music in the F-M District.

The service will conclude with the Christ Candle being lit on the Advent Wreath and members of the congregation lighting individual candles while singing Silent Night. The lyrics to this carol were written in German by Father Joseph Mohr with a melody composed by organist Franz Xaver Guber. Both gentlemen performed the carol for the first time on Christmas Eve in 1818 at the St. Nicholas Church in Salzburg Austria.

40 years Ago – Dec. 22, 1982

The Cazenovia Aggies have put in a busy and rewarding year. Several of the Aggies’ projects are well known in the Cazenovia community. The sale of citrus fruit, the profits of which finance the annual banquet, is a project now under way. Dan Hunt, in a report on the sales, stated that this has been the big fall money-raiser for 15 years. This year 1,350 cases of fruit were sold, 250 more than in 1982. A pancake breakfast is sponsored by the Aggies every spring. According to Craig Dennis, the chapter treasurer, this tradition was started in 1970 as a way to market the excess maple syrup produced by the chapter.

30 years Ago – Dec. 23, 1992

Firemen’s Corner – T’was the night before Christmas and all thru the house. Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. When down thru the chimney all covered with soot, came the “Spirit

of Fire,” an ugly galoot. His eyes glowed like embers, his features were stern. As he looked all around for something to burn. What he saw made him grumble, his anger grew higher. For there wasn’t a thing that would start a good fire. No door had been blocked by the big Christmas tree. It stood in the corner leaving passageways free. The lights that glowed, brightly for Seth, Nathan, Riley, Todd and Tim. Had been hung with precaution so none touched the limb. All wiring was new, not a break could be seen. And wet sand at its base kept the tree nice and green. The tree had been trimmed by a mother insistent. The Ornaments be fire resistant. And mother had known the things to avoid. Like cotton and paper and plain celluloid. Rock wood, metal icicles and trinkets of glass. Gave life to the tree it really had class. And would you believe it, right next to the tree. Was a suitable box for holding debris. A place to throw wrappings of paper and string. From all of the gifts that Santa would bring. The “Spirit of Fire” was so mad he could bust. He climbed up

the chimney in utter disgust. For the folks in this home had paid close attention. To the rules of good “Fire Prevention.” The Cazenovia, New Woodstock and Erieville Volunteer Fire Departments, wish everyone safe and happy holidays.

20 years Ago – Dec. 18, 2002

Last week a luncheon was held to honor Margaret (Peg) Ladd, Maraveen Marion and Rush Marshall. These employees of the town of Cazenovia have worked for years to make the town a better place, and they are appreciated greatly by many. Peg Ladd has been the town historian for 13 years. Working diligently to preserve and document the history of this area. Maravene Marion began as the town’s bookkeeper in 1976. In addition to that position, she became bookkeeper for the town of Fenner in 1980 and had already been the town of Nelson bookkeeper since 1972. Rush Marshall has

been the town’s deputy historian for five years. Many citizens looked to his knowledge of genealogy to trace their own families heritage, and Rush shared his wisdom with enthusiasm.

10 years Ago – Dec. 19, 2012

On Friday, Dec. 7, the first-grade students in Dixie Conway’s class and Sharon Gifford’s second-grade students at Burton Street Elementary School in Cazenovia had a surprise visit from Sinterklaas, patron saint of children (also known as St. Nicholas). Elegantly garbed in a bishop’s tall hat, red cape, shiny ring and jeweled staff, Joost Brasz, originally from Holland, and his wife Ulla, originally from Sweden, took time during this busy season to share the Dutch tradition of SInterlkaas with the children. The couple brought koekjes (the Dutch word for cookies) and a gift for each child and taught them the St. Nicholas song.

are certain things that that facility will have to start to think about to eventually accommodate electric vehicles, but it doesn’t mean you have to do a new facility now that would be fully electric vehicle compatible for everything. . . There are pieces of infrastructure that we would build in now, but it’s not like you have to do everything [now].”

DiFulvio pointed out that the New York State Education Department has not reached a consensus about whether the electric buses should be stored inside or outside. One camp is arguing for storing them inside to maximize battery life, while the other camp is in favor of storing them outside to prevent fire hazards.

“As of what we know today, we will just be looking at the service garage now and not necessarily the storage because we don’t know what the state is going to roll out,” DiFulvio said.

DiFulvio said the district’s facility committee is planning interviews with construction groups and once the selected group teams up with Tetra Tech, the district will be able to

get some options on the table for the board’s consideration.

At the time of the meeting, the district was in the process of conducting a bus route fleet assessment and gathering stakeholder feedback. The next steps will be to finalize the scope of the project, develop conceptual designs and budget pricing, analyze site(s), assemble a project team, and then complete the SEQRA Environmental Assessment Form and coordinated review period (if needed).

According to Bouffard, the project is currently in the early part of the pre-referendum conceptualization phase. A preliminary timeline for the project places a potential public vote in December 2023 with the design phase stretching throughout the first two-thirds to three-quarters of 2024 and construction beginning in 2025.

Following the presentation, facilities committee member David Mehlbaum revisited the potential issue regarding the size of the current bus garage site.

“The conversation about the building we need to service our buses and what we may need to do down the road to charge buses and

park them are two different conversations, but we have to keep that second piece in mind while we are designing and figuring out the site,” he said. “. . . We don’t know if State Ed. is going to come back and say, ‘You have to put these inside.’ That would be a big change in their tune, but if they did, we would have to have enough space to do that.”

Donald Porteus, a Tetra Tech construction administrator who has been researching electric buses and was at the meeting, commented that if the district constructs a new building on the current site, it will most likely have to tear down the existing facility first to make room for the new bus garage and a charging or storage barn.

“That’s going to leave you with no bus garage at all for how long, a year?” he said. “I don’t think there are a lot of people who are going to be in favor of that, trying to come up with a temporary bus garage. But that is the reality of it because the existing bus garage really can’t be incorporated into any kind of a new facility.”

DiFulvio concluded the discussion by informing the board that Matt Cook, district superintendent of Onondaga Cortland Madison BOCES, is putting together a regional meeting for February to discuss issues related to

electric buses.

CCSD BOE meetings are usually held at 6:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each month. Meeting dates are listed on the district website and the school calendar. For more information, visit cazenoviacsd.com/ board-of-educaton.

generosity and acceptance of the LGBTQIA community.

“I’d be extremely grateful to everyone if we could raise $1,500 to $2,000 for the LGBTQIA youth programs at BRiDGES Madison County — a reputable non-profit organization with strong leadership and great programs for the LGBTQIA youth, their families, and allies,” he said.

According to Clark, Otis + Matilda will be collaborating with Purpose Coffee Co. on another fundraiser in mid-2023.

“I’m always open to partnering with other local businesses that share common interests and have a mission to give back,” he added.

Dedicated to upholding the highest standard of funeral service

Sassy (left) and Daisy (right) are an adorable doggy duo! These sweet sisters came to the shelter when they’re family could no longer care for them. We’re hoping they can be adopted together. Both are two-year old lab mixes. You can tell them apart because Sassy is a bit smaller, more confident, and loves apple slices; Daisy’s bigger, more timid, and loves to snack on cheerios! Both are sweet snugglers who ride nicely in the car, enjoy their walks and love belly rubs. They also love to play together. The sisters would do best in a cat-free home with respectful, school-aged kids. They’re the perfect size and the perfect age; all they need is the right family! If you’re looking for extra snuggles, Sassy and Daisy are waiting for you at the CNYSPCA! For more information about adoption, call 315-4544479, email frontdesk1@ cnyspca.org or visit cnyspca.org.

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 advantage of 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, which 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.

CLuES FOR THE BLuES

It was a blue week, not darkly blue, but blue enough to cast a negative pall on those times when my mind wasn’t directly engaged. Why? I haven’t a clue, but maybe I do, sort of. Mix some bodily offhealth and several “it didn’t turn out as I had envisioned moments” and you get, at least for me, a kind of loneliness that separates me from the optimism with which I usually face the world. I was surely up for a sunnier disposition and an end to my dependence on analgesics and Tums.

Strange where you find the sun shining.

I found it first, are you sitting down … at Walmart. Now that was unexpected. My trips to this giant merchandiser are usually preceded by determination to get in, find what I need and get out, fast. I did not want to hear people screaming at their kids, children running rampant through the aisles without supervision and other less-than-attractive store-based ambiance.

I arrived early on the day that I was scheduled to have not one but two dentist appointments. Now, that is enough to color my world black. But these were the near–to-the-ends of complicated procedures that had begun more than a year ago. The day had not begun well. Staggering downstairs with the cat worrying me about his breakfast, I looked forward to my first, reviving cup of coffee. Distressingly, the old coffee pot had, overnight, become a planter. I had to face the morning without coffee. I added a new coffee pot to my list of “things to do.”

My coffee-deprived body

demanded a fix. I stopped at MacDonald’s and bought a cup.

Now awake, I made my way to the Walmart housewares department. While comparing the available coffee brewers, a trio of people who looked to be older than me, and that is saying something, worked its way into the aisle to find an electric griddle. Two women, who appeared to be sisters, discussed the merits of one, referring to the gentleman who, in a walker, stood nearby.

“How about this one?” They held up a simple grill.

“Looks fine, but can it make French toast, pancakes, those hash browns like Ma used to make?” he replied.

They joked with him, kidding him about his “girlfriends,” grabbed a boxed version of the grill and left, happily chatting about the purchase.

“Sweet,” I thought. A family together through all the years. A nice feeling. Putting my coffee maker in the basket, I made a quick detour to the pharmaceutical area to pick up some soap and again came upon a family, this time a grandmother in a wheelchair and her granddaughter. The former was regaling the latter with funny stories about her mother. Family, again. Both were smiling.

I was then off to the biggest challenge of the day. My spouse needed a new cell phone, one that was inexpensive to purchase and maintain. What do I know about

Thoughts on drive through

To the editor:

I write in response to Doug Eaton’s letter published Dec 14.2022 regarding “Will it make the village better?” Mr. Eaton has lived here for four years. I have been here since 1986, and my wife’s family has been here since 1947. Our children are the fourth generation to live in our home in the center of the village. We support local businesses and have done so for several generations.

Manlius has banned fast food drivethroughs, and tried to be like Skaneateles, Corning, Ithaca, Cazenovia, for the entire time I have lived here. We are not those places, and we have failed for thirty years to emulate the success of those places. The ban has not made the village better. We currently have over 20 empty store fronts in the village and a reputation among some as a place not to do business. The unwillingness to allow a drive-through for McDonalds years ago contributed mightily to that reputation. In spite of all of that we have multiple bank drive-throughs, one fast food drive-through (Burger King, from before the ban) and drug store drive-throughs. We will apparently also have one for Starbucks in the near future as a Planned Urban Development that is exempt from the ban.

Some will make the argument that those drive-throughs are somehow different, but they have scant evidence that this is really the case. So, the ban has not improved our village and has not kept out drive-throughs. How will blocking one or two specific drivethroughs significantly improve the village? How will the firehouse sitting empty and in decay for an extended period of time make the village better? How will continuing to do what we have always done and expecting a different result make our village better?

We need businesses here, in the village. Not in the town outside the village, but in the village. The center of our village has never been more empty. Fast food drive-

this? Nothing. I stood in front of an array of phones, trying to use my vast education, which is basically useless in this pursuit, to figure out which of the many phones would be the best. I read the information printed on each, thinking that this would help. It seemed pretty straightforward until I came to the admonition on one that said ominously, “no hidden fees.” To which fees were they alluding? Picking each up didn’t help. A young woman, dressed in Walmart attire, asked if she could help. I thought such service had disappeared with Bill Haley and the Comets, but no, she knew her stuff and guided me to a successful purchase. The day was decidedly looking up.

The rest of the week was less blue, but I still carried some pessimism, ennui and grumpiness along with me until yesterday. It was the end of the week. Very tired and lacking in energy or motivation, I sat at the long traffic light at the corner of Genesee and Onondaga Road, mentally griping about the fact that I’ve never actually made it through this intersection without being stopped by the light. I was about five cars back from the traffic signal, looking at the landscaping in front of the Mobile Station when I noticed someone trying to cross the street … a feat of some courage for anyone, but this man had a white cane. He was blind. He started out and turned back three times.

“My gosh,” I thought, “How will he ever get across?” Someone should help him. But who? I kept thinking that the person in the car nearest the Mobile station had the best oppor -

throughs are a part of modern life and a necessary part of growth, commerce, and business development. Whether Taco Bell, or any other specific business has a special use permit for a drive-through approved is a secondary issue. But the ban on fast food drive-throughs in the Village of Manlius has been a disastrous failure and should be repealed.

Applauds lawsuit opposing Hannaford

To the editor:

As a follow-up to Dave Pasinski’s Dec. 14, 2022 letter, “Disappointed in Hannaford Decision” I encourage the community to consider information which has not been covered so far by the Eagle Bulletin. The village of Fayetteville, its planning board, the property owners of 547 East Genesee Street and the developer have been named in a lawsuit filed by attorneys for village resident Marguerite Ross.

At issue are three planning board approvals characterized in the suit as illegal, arbitrary and capricious. The suit challenges the planning board’s decisions that the development would have no significant adverse environmental impacts, its site plan approval and the granting of a special permit. Further, the lawsuit challenges the village’s interpretation of its own zoning code. The suit argues that the village violated the Open Meetings Law in its deliberations regarding the proposed development.

I encourage all who are interested to review the lawsuit petitions and exhibits on the website of the NYS Unified Court System, through its Courts Electronic Filing system. Login as a guest and search for the index number 010160/2022. Responses to the suit must be filed by Feb.

tunity, but that driver didn’t move.

Pulling my car closer to the side of the road, and fearing a rush hour traffic jam that would be blamed on me, I was screwing up my courage to get out to help when a man in a plaid long sleeved shirt appeared from nowhere to guide the blind man across Genesee Street. Where did he come from? At first I thought he was either a driver or a passenger in one of the cars waiting at the light, but no, as the cars moved forward, there were none that waited. He seemed to disappear.

There are many ways that he could have been out of my sight. He could have gone down to the hill toward the Target store; he could have come from a car behind me…all sorts of explanations…but from wherever he came, he did something that nothing, usually nothing, can make me do. I cried, big sobbing tears at the generosity of an unknown person, the kind of courage that makes me feel wonderful. An affirmation of the sense of family that extends beyond kin, to strangers in need.

The tears were washing away the rest of the blue… well, almost. There is still the fact that when I ordered a coffee at MacDonald’s, the 11-year-old at the counter shouted back, “One Senior Coffee.”

There’s no denying that I sport the Senior Coffee look, but geesh, have pity.

14, 2023 at the latest.

Even though Ms. Ross will be challenged by multiple law firms employed by corporations with deep pockets, as well as the attorneys for her own village, she is compelled to stand up for the community ‘s historic character and our quality of life. Unlike many of us opposed to Hannaford, as an adjacent property owner Ms. Ross has standing to sue. For eight years Ms. Ross has been advocating for a development that fits the site, the village character and the value created by generations of villagers over the past 178 years.

In the mid-1990s, in response to the serious environmental crimes that were committed at 547 East Genesee St., Fayetteville adopted zoning codes to protect its residential character from over-development by limiting the building size at the site to 10,000 square feet. Using questionable logic, the village decided to ignore the intent of its own people.

The property owners voluntarily enrolled in NYS’s Brownfield Clean-Up program to benefit from tax incentives from taxpayers. As such, the owners and developers should have approached villagers with respect for our intentions and recognition of the harms we suffered from the toxic dumping as well as the decades we have waited patiently for a proposal that honors the treasure we have built over 178 years. Instead, they have relentlessly bullied and threatened our elected and appointed officials wearing them down for three years. They have rammed Hannafords into a community which has made its opposition known consistently, logically and with the foresight of the many harms it will create for all villagers, but most especially for those who live east of the firehouse.

Thank you, Ms. Ross, for being our David to these multinational Goliaths.

FROM THE MAILBAG

YES, VIRgINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAuS

Eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York’s Sun newspaper, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials and on posters and stamps. The text below is taken from Newseum.org.

“Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in The Sun it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?”

Virginia O’Hanlon

115 West Ninety-Fifth Street

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there

is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire

The Night Before Christmas

According to historians, Clement Clarke Moore wrote his immortal poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” also known as “The Night Before Christmas,” for his family on Christmas Eve 1822. He never intended that it be published, but a family friend copied it and submitted it to the editor of the Troy (New York) Sentinel, where it made its first appearance in print on Dec. 23, 1823. The poem then began to be reprinted in publications across the country, with the first appearance in a book in The New York Book of Poetry in 1837. Moore did not acknowledge his authorship of the poem until 1844, however, when he included it in a book of his verses. Today, “The Night Before Christmas” remains the most-published, most-read, most-memorized and most-collected book in all of Christmas literature. The poem below was reprinted from poetryfoundation.org.

A V ISIT FROM S T. N ICHOLAS

By CLEMENT CLARKE MooRe

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds;

While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads;

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles

his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:

“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;

So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.

His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how

merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that

ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there

is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Resolutions for: Love, Finances, Friendship, and Attention.

Almost always, New Years resolutions focus on trivial things. NOT THIS TIME! All of the above resolutions are, for the most part, sel sh. is time we are going to direct our attention to a topic that hits home to approximately 24 million Americans that play GOLF. e following resolutions are absolutely attainable. ese resolutions are realistic because they direct us toward improving our game and our life.

1. Play Golf More O en… e golf industry says that in the Northeast, you are a “Core” golfer if you play 12-14 rounds a year. Com-on folks! You shouldn’t call yourself a golfer if you only play about 2 times a month. at’s not a commitment. You can try to play at least once a week. Joining a league will get you there easy.

2. Play As A Single.. Don’t abandon your regular foursome, just sneak out once a month and join a stranger on the rst tee. You never know what a handshake on the rst tee will mean as the years y by.

3. Encourage Your Kids to Play… Playing 9,12 or 18 holes with your kids is a true example of spending “quality time” with family. Your kids will always remember and share the memories you played with them.

4. Don’t Keep Score… Play golf by yourself or with anyone else you can convince…especially at the beginning of the season and DON’T KEEP SCORE. Just hit balls… as many as you like…as o en as you like. If you hit a bad shot, no big deal. Keep hitting until you are satis ed with the result.

5. Get A Custom Club Fitting…Whether you need one or not, a proper club tting will give you information that will pay handsome dividends to reduce your golf score. Most important…learn how far you hit every club in your bag.

6. Play A Bucket List Round… By the the middle of the season, you should have had enough time to save up for a round at Pinehurst #2…Sawgrass..Pebble Beach…or any where else you have wanted to play. It will be worth it to scratch the course o your Bucket List.

7. Tee It Up At A Municipal Course… At least twice this season, you should play a public course. New York State owns and maintains 32 golf courses and very successfully, I might add. A er all, they were built for the vast majority of golfers who can’t a ord private courses and some of them are at out terri c. e Green Lakes Golf Club in CNY comes to mind and how about Bethpage Black on Long Island that has hosted the 2002 U.S. Open, 2009 U.S. Open and the 2019 PGA Championship.

8. Teach yourself To Play Faster…

If you eliminate half of your practice swings, half of the time you take reading greens and playing ready golf, you will gain the respect of your fellow competitors and no doubt will make you a better player.

9. Play In A Tournament…

ere is causal golf and competitive golf. Most golfers play casual golf…de ned as the “hit and giggle” handicap events. Try playing in at least two competitive tournaments this season. It’s good for the soul and your game. e more tournaments you play, the more knowledge and experience you will gain to become a better player.

10. Play Every Shot As It Lies…

Putt everything out and play everything down. You will learn to play faster, gain experience for playing in tournaments and also learn a lot about your golf game. No, you don’t have to play every shot as it lies 100% of the time all season. Try 50%.

11. Tweak Your Swing… Nothing major…just a tweak. Everyone will need to tweak their swing at least twice this season. Tour players get theirs tweaked as well as elite amateurs. Why shouldn’t we? Do not get it tweaked by your 25 handicap buddy. A CNY PGA Golf Professional should be your rst choice.

12. Play For Something… Plan an award ceremony half way through the season and again at the end. Award prizes for several categories; best golfer, worst golfer, best team, outstanding achievements, etc..etc.. Prizes will always add to the fun and don’t forget to take pictures. ese memories will be cherished for many years.

Although we have discussed golf resolutions over the years in these articles, I believe this list is easily the most realistic and attainable. ere is no reason we can’t keep all of them. I would like to thank Golf Magazine and Myrtle Beach Golf for providing me with the ammunition to create this list…with my own adaptations and interpretations of their resolutions.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Boys hoops Bears get road win at Bishop Grimes

By PHIL BLACkWELL

Even before it hit the middle of December, the Chittenango boys basketball team had demonstrated its ability to both win tough road games and recover from poor performances.

The Bears went to East Syracuse last Tuesday to face 2-0 Bishop Grimes and, led again by the Moesch brothers, did just enough to fight past the Cobras 7976.

Unlike its dramatic Dec. 2 win at Christian Brothers Academy, Chittenango led most of the way, steadily increasing its production throughout the first half until it took a 35-31 lead to the break.

All through the second half, the Cobras did enough on offense to give itself a chance. Deng Garang poured in 27 points to lead all individuals, with help from Nate Abernethy, who had 19 points, and Jon Cori, who got 15 points. Erik Wall (eight points) and Jon Farstler (seven points) helped, too.

What helped the Bears hang on, beyond the 25 points from Alex Moesch and 24 points from Ryan Moesch, was the help from Brandon Barnard, who poured in 14 points, and Ty Kelly, who managed 11 points.

The fact that Chittenango did all this after a 46-40 home loss to Marcellus on Dec. 9 illustrated that it could weather adverse results, something it rarely had

to worry about during its 2021-22 sectional Class B championship season.

And when it played on Saturday against New York Mills in the Zebra Classic at Liverpool High School, the Bears finally had a breather of sorts, though it involved one of the largest single-game totals in program history.

Chittenango beat the Marauders 11646, recording 71 points in the first half as, between them, Kelly and the Moesch brothers hit on 12 3-pointers.

Ryan Moesch had 27 points, just ahead of Kelly and Alex Moesch with 21 points apiece as Jacob Cheek (12 points) and Seamus Gardner (11 points) also hit double figures in extended playing time and Drew Thomas added nine points.

Cazenovia took a 3-1 record into last Tuesday’s game against 1-2 Skaneateles, but could not hold on to an early lead as that other set of Lakers were able to prevail 56-48.

Down 16-10 after one period, Cazenovia dominated the second quarter, limiting Skaneateles to two points as it went up 23-18, but then it was the other Lakers’ turn during a third quarter where, with a 20-13 push, it went out in front.

Jack Byrnes had 19 points and Ben Bianco added 16 points, while Tanner Lawson had eight points. To lead Skaneateles, Caden Bradley got 20 points and Tyson DiRubbo earned 17 points.

By PHIL BLACkWELL

Even as it made a run near the top of the area Division I ranks last winter, the Cazenovia ice hockey team was quite aware of the truth that any path to a championship still went through West Genesee.

It’s the same this season, the Lakers still finding itself chasing the Wildcats as demonstrated by last Wednesday night’s 5-1 defeat in their league show-

down at the SUNY-Morrisville IcePlex.

Riding a shutout streak that dated back to its Nov. 30 win over Baldwinsville in the Ice Breaker Tournament at Shove Park, WG would also keep Cazenovia quiet most of the way here.

In the first period, the Wildcats took 14 shots to the Lakers’ six in the opening period and converted twice, doubling that margin to 4-0 by the end of the second period on goals

by Will Schneid and Liam Burns.

Jack Donlin broke WG’s long shutout string and got Cazenovia on the board with a third-period short-handed goal assisted by Forrest Ives and Logan Hull, but WG answered it as Burns, who scored twice and added an assist, led a well-balanced attack that overcame Tucker Ives’ 36 saves.

Cazenovia wrestlers edge Hannibal by one point

By PHIL BLACkWELL

Just in terms of points, the Cazenovia wrestling team found itself on even terms with Hannibal when last Wednesday night’s meet against Hannibal concluded.

However, the Lakers won 34-33 because it earned the extra “criterium” point given out when a tie-breaker is required.

Evan Rutecki opened at 118 pounds with a pin of Alan Stupp, and Cazenovia was aided by forfeits to Finnegan Smith at 132 pounds and Gabriel Sanchez at 152 pounds.

But Bryce Enders wrestled at 145 pounds and took just 77 seconds to pin Brandon Turaj before Broden Enders pinned his 160-pound opponent, Caleb Moore, in 27 seconds.

Hannibal won the four remaining contested bouts, but because Riley Fowler, at 189 pounds, was able to last all six minutes and only drop a 4-2 decision to Nick Kaufman, Cazenovia was able to finish on top.

While this was going on, Chittenango found itself at Jordan-Elbridge, where it earned a trio of pins but paid for not having a full roster in a 51-18 loss to the Eagles.

Edward Geer got the Bears on the board at 138 pounds

assist as Ryan Considine also converted. Jared Jaeger and Jesse Desena also got assists as Luke Beck was strong in the net, turning back 24 of the Lakers’ 25 shots.

Following this, the Lakers were at home Saturday for one of its most important events of the season.

It was the Dominic Paglia Memorial Game, named in honor of the former Cazenovia hockey player who passed away in

Off to a 2-2 start, the Cazenovia girls basketball team did enough for long stretches of last Tuesday night’s game at Skaneateles to rise above the .500 mark.

However, a rough second quarter cost the visiting Lakers in a 4335 defeat, Skaneateles outscoring them 21-6 in that frame.

Much of Cazenovia’s attack

By PHIL BLACkWELL

Few efforts that the Chittenango girls volleyball team would put together the rest of the winter would compare with its four-set win over powerhouse Tully in the Dec. 6 season opener.

However, the Bears knocked off another historic program in a similar

October 2021 while attending Siena University.

Honoring Dominic in the best way possible, Cazenovia jumped quickly in front of visiting Whitesboro and went on to a 5-2 victory over the Warriors.

Despite Whitesboro’s 3-0 record against Division II foes, the Lakers used back-to-back goals by Forrest Ives to grab a 2-0 advantage by the end of the first period.

verted in the second, and despite a Warriors shorthanded goal it was 3-1 going to the third, where Forrest Ives completed his hat trick and Donlin scored, too. Tucker Ives recorded 18 saves.

At 2-3 overall, Cazenovia would visit State Fair Coliseum Tuesday to face Liverpool before returning to the IcePlex Friday to face Mohawk Valley.

Then Logan Hull con-

stemmed from Katie Rajkowski, who finished with 14 points, and Bess Johnson, who put up 13 points to key a second-half comeback attempt.

It was Maddy Ramsgard, with 18 points, leading the Skaneateles effort, with help from Katie Reed’s seven points and Ayla Pas’cal’s six points.

Chittenango played last Tuesday and lost, 47-21, to the Hornets,

who built much of its margin in a dominant second quarter where it netted 20 points to the Bears’ two.

Only Hailee Foran and Hailey Reed, with six points, had more than one field goal on Chittenango’s side as Morgan Goodman (10 points) led a balanced F-M attack that included nine points from Evie Kawa, eight points from Ashley Schneider and seven points from Lauren Hoffman.

Junior Connor Frisbie and sophomore Jaden Kaplan were both victorious as the Cazenovia boys indoor track and field team soared to a third-place finish in the afternoon session of last Saturday’s George Constantino Memorial Invitational at SRC Arena.

Frisbie’s win came in the triple jump, where he went 40 feet 3 inches to beat out the 40-foot attempt by Cortland’s Jack Phelan. Judah Ossont, going 32’11 ¾”, was just outside the top 10 in 11 th place.

Meanwhile, in the 600-meter run Kaplan continued his strong Decem -

ber, his time of one minute, 26.45 seconds more than three seconds ahead of the 1:30.16 from Fayetteville-Manlius’ Lucas Wieres as the Lakers’ Branden McColm was fifth in 1:32.47.

For the day, Cazenovia earned 76 points, which put it only behind F-M’s first-place total of 97 points and Liverpool’s second-place total of 82 points.

Frisbie nearly added a second title in the 55-meter hurdles, his 9.05 seconds topped only by the 8.60 from PSLAFowler’s Jeremiah Brundige. Killian Blouin cleared 9’6” in the pole vault, second to Marcellus’ Andrew McCaffery (10 feet).

McColm made his way to third place

in the 1,600-meter run in 4:45.11, with Caleb Gilmore (5:10.07) in 11 th . Judah Ossont, Tristan Fields-Bradley, Lucky Prior and Chase Shepard were third in the 4x400 relay in 4:19.59.

In the 4x400, Kaplan, Frisbie, Killian Blouin and Wyatt Scott were fourth in the 4x200 in 1:42.07 as Chris Kelly, Robbie Dorus, Evan Molloy and Caleb Gilmore were fifth (10:46.08) in the 4x800.

Scott had a sixth-place long jump of 17’9” as Aidan Bailey was sixth in the weight throw with 35’10” ahead of Chris Kelly (33’9 ½”) in eighth place. Bailey also was ninth (32’9 ¾”) in the weight throw as Molloy went 12:79.24

at 3,200 meters to finish ninth. FieldsBradley was 10 th in the 300-meter dash in 42.60 seconds.

when he pinned Bryce Mahoney in the second period, but that only came after three J-E wins plus a pair of forfeits. More of that followed, but at 189 pounds Andrew Bailey pinned Angelo Turo in 45 seconds and Luke Martin followed at 215 pounds by pinning Raiden Yale in 52 seconds.
