Four up for three spots on WG BOE
Camillus mayor offers plea to save school jobs
By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com West Genesee voters will have to choose from four candidates when they head to the high school auditorium lobby from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday May 17 for school board elections. They will also vote on a $68.3 million spending plan for 2011-12, a decrease of $1.6 million from the current year’s plan, that assumes a 3.8 percent tax levy increase and includes 53 staff reductions. The vote includes a proposition to authorize the district to purchase eight school buses for 2011-12 at a price not to exceed $864,610. The state reimburses the district 82 percent of the cost of each bus over a five-year period. The final position is to collect a tax totaling $288,000 in order to provide support for Maxwell, Fairmount and Onondaga libraries. Read about this year’s candidates on page 8.

Superintendent Chris Brown addressed the concerns of parents over the elimination of three part-time elementary level string teachers at a final budget hearing held May 4. Margaret Mercer, Jill DiBattista and Kristen Panzetta are all being let go.
Mercer and Panzetta each have about 20 years of experience teaching at West Genesee. “Of all the things that we are reducing for net year, probably the largest amount of information that I’ve gotten from parents has been the elimination of the third strings program,” he said.

Four candidates running for two Marcellus BOE openings By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com
Four residents are in the running for two spots on the Marcellus Board of Education. School board elections will be held from noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday May 17 in the high school auditorium. Residents will also be asked to vote on a $29.99 million spending plan for 2011-12, which is 2.81 percent lower than the current budget,
that assumes a 3.9 percent tax levy increase and reduces 21 full-time positions. Also on the ballot is a proposition to purchase five school buses for a total cost not to exceed $338,096.27. Here are this year’s BOE candidates: Julie Brissette is running for reelection to the school board. She has been on the board for two terms, or six years. Julie has an AAS in accounting and is employed at Housing Visions,
a not for profit company dedicated to revitalizing communities by creating quality, affordable housing opportunities to low and moderate income families. She has lived in Marcellus for 17 years, and she and her husband Bob have two kids: their son is a freshman in college and their daughter is a senior at Marcellus.

On Friday April 29, New York State Troopers in Elbridge arrested two youths for trying to break into the Marcellus Free Library and Marcellus Jody Wilcox Lanes, state police officials said. Jody Wilcox, 16, and William Sears, 17, both of Marcellus, were seen cutting three window screens at the library with intent to go inside to steal money, but were unable to gain access. They then attempted to get into the Marcellus Bowling Lanes when a person walking his dogs at 5 a.m. heard William Sears them break one of the windows at the business, officials said. The person yelled at them before catching one of the youths and detaining him until state troopers arrived on the scene. Wilcox and Sears were charged with third-degree attempted burglary and fourth-degree criminal mischief and arraigned in town of Marcellus court by Judge Matthew Moses. They were remanded to the justice center on $10,000 cash/$20,000 bond.

To the editor: We recently experienced the unexpected loss of our beloved husband, father, papa, brother and uncle. The people of Marcellus have truly reached out and touched our lives in so many ways. We are overwhelmed by the support of people who have prayed with us, shared stories, written cards, made dinners, helped with the funeral reception, made donations or just stopped us on the street to inquire how he was doing. Words cannot describe the gratitude we feel for your sincere expressions of kindness and love. As Dick always proclaimed, “Marcellus truly is a great place to live”.

Even more recently, emphasis has been placed on developing tourism as an industry capable of introducing significant amounts of “outside” money into the Upstate economy.

West Genesee Middle School seventh grade students Daniel Pesci and Kaitlin Holdrege accepted scholarships May 5 to attend a six-day Space Academy at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The scholarships were provided by the Space & Rocket Center and Honeywell. Camillus Town Supervisor Mary Ann Coogan read a proclamation from Onondaga County Executive Joanne Mahoney declaring May 5, 2011, “Daniel Pesci and Kaitlin Holdrege Space Academy Day.” Space Academy is designed to support and inspire students to study science, technology, engineering and math education around the world. During the program, Pesci and Holdrege will live and work in space conditions operating the station’s life support, crew/equipment support systems and participate in classroom, laboratory and field training exercises and experiments. In June 2010, WGMS teacher Sue Bingham attended Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. “[The academy] was a life-changing experience,” said Bingham. “The program
Award” based on her leadership skills. She received her medal from former NASA Space Shuttle Commander Robert “Hoot” Gibson. As part of her award, WGMS was offered the chance to honor a student with the “Great Stuff Award,” including free tuition to attend Space Academy. Honeywell agreed to sponsor tuition costs for a second WGMS student. To apply, students had to answer five essay questions and submit letters of recommendation from their teachers. The winners were chosen by a panel of school administrators and staff members. The top 12 finalists were: Dylan Amodio, Christopher Brown, Hunter Buza, Brennan Costello, Sarah Devlin, Andrew Francisco, James Harter, Kaitlin Holdrege, Katherine (Katie) Lannon, Cassie Mondello, Daniel Pesci and Jacqueline Peterson. Several local organizations made donations to fund airfare for the two students including: Cam’s Pizzeria, Camillus Elks Women’s Auxiliary, Camillus Optimists Club, Used Car King and West Genesee Middle School PTA. The staff at West Genesee Middle School also organized a “Denim Day” fundraiser. The students are expected to attend Space Academy later this month or in June.

“What I want you to know as parents is this,” he continued. “Having kids in the district and being a part of the process for years and years to come, these decisions were made very, very carefully.” Brown said he asked the Fine Arts Director Bill Davern to take his own children and imagine they are back in kindergarten. “And you’ve gotta recreate a fine arts program that is still going to round students out and give them opportunities when they graduate, and this is what was created from that conversation.” Brown told parents and students in the audience to hold him accountable for this: “If you’re a parent of a second grader, or you are a second grader sitting in here, you won’t have third grade string next year; however, your child, or you, yourself, should see no difference in terms of what we offer, lesson sizes, or anything, from grades four through twelve.” Brown said that if the budget should pass on May 17, the district planned to bring back .8 of a string position “in order to do what we do. We also have to make some schedule modifications in the high school and both middle schools with the staff we have left

to make sure we have adequate coverage in grades four through twelve.” Following Brown’s presentation, about 10 residents spoke against Brown’s plan to reduce three string teachers. Camillus Mayor Michael Montero, who owns The String Corner on Main Street, asked if the board had considered putting the tax levy up for a vote before adopting the budget to see what residents were willing to pay to save certain positions. When some state aid was restored by the legislature in April, Brown chose to use the money to bring the tax levy increase down from 4.8 percent to 3.8 percent rather than bring back any of the 53 reduced positions. “I would say to you as a violin shop owner, I deal with every string educator in the county, in Madison County and Cayuga County, and I will tell you that you have the finest teachers available in this county for those jobs,” Montero said. “When you have the cream of the crop you do everything to keep them,” he added. “If you have half a staff reduction, how do you keep the quality of service? You don’t have third grade strings, but how do you fill all those other classes with the same quality, intensity and passion that the three ladies that are unfortunately being let go provide?
West Genesee named ‘Best Community for Music Education’
Enrollment in orchestra, band at its highest in school’s documented history By Ned Campbell editor@eagle-observer.com West Genesee was recently recognized as one of 179 “Best Communities for Music Education” by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. 279 schools submitted surveys for the award. This is the sixth time West Genesee has received the honor. “We are so very proud of West Genesee students and teachers being recognized for this honor,” said Director of Fine Arts Bill Davern. “This competitive award is proof positive that outstanding instruction, in concert with positive administrative, community and Board of Education support, produces recognized quality for all of our children.” This year, 2,720 West Genesee students in grades 3-12, or 46 percent of students enrolled, chose to participate in one of the bands, choruses and orchestras. Total district-wide enrollment in music classes and performing groups is 3,669, or 74.1 percent. The band and orchestra programs have their largest enrollment in the school’s documented history (since 1980) of 697 and 707 nonduplicated students respectively, school officials said. At the high school, 401 students, or 27 percent, are enrolled in performing ensembles. This percentage is as high as it was in 2009 and 2010, even though total district enrollment dropped 150 students this year and 350 in
I ask that if there is a chance to revise anything after the budget vote that you highly consider that, because it is a cornerstone of this district.” Following applause from residents, Brown addressed the mayor’s question. He said the board, as representatives of the community, had strongly considered how much of a tax levy increase residents could sustain before arriving at the 3.8 percent increase. “I value all of the teachers that are being let go,” he added. “As a superintendent, I won’t put myself in a position where I am valuing one person or two people over the other 49 that I had to let go.” Jenny Castro of presented the board with copies letters to the superintendent written by students at Camillus and Easthill middle schools supporting the string teachers that are being let go. “They go way past what was said here and I think what was said here tonight was amazing,” she said. Her son Manny, grade six, read his letter to residents in attendance. “I’m writing in regards to the string program,” he said. “I’m concerned that without Mrs. Panzetta or Mrs. Mercer, our orchestra students will not be as talented or as passionate as they would be with them.
each of the past 2 years. “We are very fortunate that even during challenging economic times the West Genesee Central School District can provide a music program worthy of such distinction,” said Superintendent Chris Brown. “We are very proud to be a part of something special.” Additional extracurricular opportunities exist in jazz bands, fiddle improvisation groups, small ensembles, musical productions, Wildcat Marching Band, and community groups. The music teachers responsible for this impressive program are: Tony Alvaro, Christine Astafan, Greg Borsz, Tracy Cheney, Marcia DeMartini, Jill DiBattista, Kevin Dimmel, Dee Fitzpatrick, Steve Frackenpohl, Steve Frank, Martha Grener, Leah Randall, Christy Knowlton, Bill Mercer, Maggie Mercer, Kristen Panzetta, Andrew Perry, Andrea Scerbo, Donald Schuuessler, Rosemarie Speich, Mike Stachnik, and Deaetta Szulis. In conducting the annual survey, the NAMM Foundation is joined by advisory organizations in the fields of music and education including, Americans for the Arts, League of American Orchestras, The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, The Metropolitan Opera Guild, Music for All, Music Teachers National Association, National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, National PTA, Yamaha Corporation of America and VH1 Save The Music Foundation.

Manny Castro, sixth grade, reads a letter he wrote to Superintendent Chris Brown in support of string teachers Mrs. Panzetta and Mrs. Mercer. I never had an orchestra teacher other than Mrs. Panzetta or Mrs. Mercer. And when we had a sub, class was boring, and I wanted to fall asleep. “Mrs. Panzetta has a distinct passion and a spontaneous personality,” he said, adding: “She has confidence in her students that we don’t have ourselves, and that is what drives us to succeed in our music. The same with Mrs. Mercer. I feel sad when I think of West Genesee without Mrs. Panzetta and Mrs. Mercer. I feel like they are a symbol for our talented orchestras from elementary to high school … We all hope you will reconsider your decision.”

She said her reasons for seeking another term are simple — she enjoys volunteering and wants to continue helping the district succeed in its academic growth. “For the last nine years I have been watching, listening, and learning what really goes on behind the scenes in order to make our Dis-
trict outstanding. These past two years have been the most challenging due to the financial constraints facing not only our District, but all school districts, as well as our county, state, and federal governments. Developing the budget has been a difficult process because of the impact it is taking on programs and staff. Our goal here at West Genesee is to ensure that every child, when they enter Kindergarten, is given every opportunity to enjoy a successful academic environment and are able to embark on what lies ahead for them when they graduate from West Genesee. “What has inspired me the most to continue to sit on the Board, is the collaboration and communication that our administrators, faculty, and staff have demonstrated these past few years. I am so proud of each and every one of them. Everyone is looking out for the good of the student and of each other. There is no ‘I’ in West Genesee; there is a ‘We’, and together we will continue to succeed and to be a nationally ranked school here in the USA.” Neil Widrick Neil Widrick resides at 108 Munro Drive, Camillus.

That is what being on the BOE is always all about, what’s best for the students, while also being fiscally responsible to the taxpayers.” EO: What do you bring to the position? JB: “I feel my six years of experience along with my accounting background is an asset, especially in these tough financial times we are facing. I am deeply involved in this community, thereby aware of local issues.” EO: What is the biggest challenge you expect to face as a member of the school board? JB: “It doesn’t make sense to make the young people, who are our future, pay the price for a fiscal crisis they didn’t create. The challenge before us is to keep education moving forward with fewer resources. We have worked hard as a board to create more opportunities for the public to express their opinions such as the survey, the World Cafés and the town meetings. We overwhelmingly heard that most were very concerned with keeping and moving forward our educational opportunities. “The global competition our young people are facing isn’t going to let up. It is our obligation to continue to better prepare them for the outside world! We have and will continue to explore consolidation options and other ways to save money, thereby saving programs, and still keeping our per pupil spending one of the lowest in the state.” EO: Why should district residents vote for you? JB: “I would appreciate your vote because I would like the opportunity to use my six years of experience to continue to do what is right for the children and the taxpayers of this district. As a board we work together respectfully through our differences of opinion to do what is right for all involved. I have no agenda other than to keep the district moving forward in these difficult fiscal times.” David Locastro graduated from LeMoyne College and New York University School of Medicine before completing his surgical residency at SUNY Health Science center at Syracuse.

Our BOE is not interactive with the public, they vote in lockstep, and I feel they don’t think critically about the issues facing them. I want to change that.” EO: What do you bring to the position? DL: “I will bring to the position my love of education, my tireless work ethic and new ways to look at old problems. I will make the BOE realize that the superintendent works for us, and we work for the people. That relationship has become blurred in the last few years.” EO: What is the biggest challenge you expect to face as a member of the school board? DL: “The biggest challenge facing the school board is maintaining the high academic achievements that we expect from the students and teachers, while keeping costs under control. Our budgets may be getting tighter, but our greatest assets in Marcellus are the great community of students, parents and teachers that we have. We need to keep that in perspective.” EO: Why should residents vote for you? DL: “Residents should vote for me because I will work diligently to make the BOE in Marcellus more responsive to the people who elected them. I will work with other school districts and BOCES to find ways to cooperate and consolidate where we can in order to save money. I will not vote in lockstep with the superintendent, as the present BOE does, and I will not forget that the BOE works for the people who elected them.” Richard Finch is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel currently working at Fort Drum for Alutiiq Global Solutions, an American Native Corporation.

Her husband, Ron, is a lifetime resident of Marcellus, and their daughter is in third grade at K.C. Heffernan Elementary. Eagle Observer: Why did you choose to run for reelection to the BOE? Lisa Valentine: “I chose to run for reelection for a lot of the same reasons I ran originally. I believe that all children need to be supported and not just one segment. I also believe that we need to do a better job communicating with the district residents as well as district employees. One of the initiatives I have been working so hard for, the World Cafe, is an avenue to opening up those lines of communications. After nearly two years of pushing for it, we had our first series of cafes this past spring. I

was overwhelmed by the numbers of people who took time away from their families and were willing to roll up their sleeves and help us brainstorm ideas not only for this budget cycle, but also ideas for a changing vision of how we go about the business of educating our kids. Through these café lines of communication were opened not only with the community but also with district employees, students and the PTA.” EO: What do you bring to the position? LV: “I bring an open-mind and independent thought to the board. I feel it is important to continue to offer our children a strong and progressive education. I supported the creation of the elementary science labs and I am a strong advocate for our AIS department. I also bring 3 years of Board experience to the position. There is a large learning curve to understanding how a school district runs as well as the board’s responsibilities to the district and it’s employees. “ EO: What is the biggest challenge you expect to face as a member of the school board? LV: “We have many large challenges in front of us. I would say that our biggest challenge has been, and will continue to be finding a way to offer the best education and experiences to our children with an ever shrinking check book. Our children deserve to have programs and teachers available to them that not only push them to excel, but also support them. We must find a way to provide them the framework to be critical thinkers and problem solvers; we can’t do this by cutting programs and teaching positions. We must look forward and continue to grow with our academic curriculum; otherwise we have failed our children. Status quo is not acceptable.” EO: Why should residents vote for you? LV: “I am excited at the prospect of another term and not only because of what is written above. I am a strong advocate for the AIS services we have in Marcellus. The employees we have working with those children are incredible and not only do they help them understand the curriculum, but our children walk away with pride and self-confidence. You can’t put a price tag on a child’s smile. Many of the children who enter into AIS services in KCH are phased out or require fewer services by the time they go to DMS. Not only is that invaluable to the child and parent, but it also saves the district because fewer services are needed in the long run. Special Education costs are extremely expensive and a large part of our budget. I will continue to work towards clearing up lines of communication. In addition I will continue to work on finding alternative revenue streams to support our programming, and work hard to keep our educational standards at a high level.”

Marcellus boys golfers earn pair of wins By Phil Blackwell Activity for all the area’s high school golf teams picked up, in a big way, with the welcome return of lateweek sunshine. Back when it was still gloomy, the Marcellus boys team rolled past Solvay 184-260 last Monday afternoon at Pine Grove. Joe Felicia shot a 35 for nine holes, part of a strong team performance. Not far behind, Chris Files shot a 36, while Zach Anderson put together a 37. Ryan Bonk and Alec Mosher had matching totals of 38. For the Bearcats, Jimmy Farella had a 45, with Zack Weigand and Jake Armstrong each posting 52. The Mustangs had to wait until Friday to play again – but remained in good form, beating Westhill 199211. Felicia again led the way, with a 37, while Bonk managed a 38 and Mosher posted a 40. For the Warriors, Alex Conway had a 40 of his own, with Gus Gosson adding a 41. Only on Saturday did Marcellus have a setback, shooting 407 to take fourth place in the Warriors Classic at Hidden Valley where host Whitesboro prevailed with 390 and Skaneateles (406) beat the Mustangs by a single shot. Bishop Ludden was ninth with 467.
Another local showdown on Friday saw Jordan-Elbridge look impressive in a 199-229 win over Solvay at Pine Grove. Jake Melfi had a 34, his lowest round of the season, to lead the Eagles as Pat Hogan got a 36 and Aaron Iddings posted a 38. For the Bearcats, R.J. Cornish had a 43, with Jimmy Farella contributing a 45. Prior to that, Solvay lost Wednesday to Skaneateles 197-274, as Jake Armstrong shot a 51, well off the low Laker totals of Jeff Baldetti (36), Justin Sisson (37) and Eric Edmunds (39). Bishop Ludden held off Pulaski 248-265 at Sunset Ridge, with William Wallace shooting 42, the only player on either side to break 50 as Tom Vazquez and Jordan Delaney fell on that mark. In an even closer match on Wednesday at Meadowbrook, Ludden edged Weedsport 240-241. Wallace again shot 42 and Tim Murphy stepped up for a 46. Ludden did beat Bishop Grimes 238-267 on Friday as Vazquez led all individuals with a 45 and John Suave contributed a 46. Westhill’s girls team shot 215 at Camillus Country Club to win a three-way match over Chittenango (242) and East Syracuse-Minoa (256). Marcellus lost to CBA 175-235, Olivia Clark shooting a 48 as the Brothers’ Mary Fletcher put up a 37.
On Wednesday, West Genesee returned to action, losing to annual power Fayetteville-Manlius 169-218 at Westvale. Kristen O’Leary shot a 52 and Alexa Rahrle added a 54, well off the totals of Alex Seabury, who led the Hornets with a 37. But the Wildcats recovered Thursday to beat Liverpool 187-198, led by Brianna Corcoran’s total of 44 at Liverpool Country Club. Marcellus, playing on Wednesday, lost to Chittenango 224-260 at Woodcrest, where Olivia Clark’s total of 53 landed just one shot behind the Bears’ Carolyn Ledger. Kendra Soliday posted a 56. More three-way matches took place Thursday, where Westhill, with a 220, beat East Syracuse-Minoa (243) and Cazenovia (246) as Nicole Demming shot the low individual round of 47. Marcellus, with a 278, was behind Skaneateles (210 and Chittenango (253). The Warriors’ busy week concluded Friday as it beat Marcellus 221-267, though both finished behind CBA’s total of 180. In alumni news, West Genesee graduate Alec Stoainoff helped the Onondaga Community College men’s team with the Mid-State Athletic Conference title at Corning by shooting a 79.
Westhill baseball completes sweep of Marcellus By Phil Blackwell By getting close to perfection, Westhill baseball pitching ace Kevin McAvoy helped his team pull further away from the rest of the Onondaga High School League Liberty division challengers. McAvoy took a no-hitter to the seventh inning of last Friday’s game against Marcellus, and though he had to sweat out the ending, the Warriors still beat the Mustangs by a score of 4-1. It marked the second time McAvoy had pitched this week. He had gone five innings in a 10-2 win over CBA on Monday, striking out 10 and throwing 80 pitches. Three days later, he dealt with the same Marcellus squad he beat 9-2 on April 8 with 12 strikeouts in six innings of work. On this day, of the first nine Mustang batters, McAvoy struck out seven, not allowing a baserunner. Meanwhile, Westhill turned a Marcellus error into a run in the bottom of the first on McAvoy’s sacrifice fly and made it 2-0 in the third on Nathan Nigolian’s solo home run. Only the strong work of Mustang left-hander Jordan Smith kept the game within reach for the Mustangs, as he struck out seven in his six innings of work and blanked the Warriors after a two-run rally in the fourth that featured Nigolian singling home one run and scoring the other. Into the sixth, McAvoy remained perfect. He retired 16 straight batters before plunking Brandon Amidon with one out in the sixth. Then McAvoy coaxed Paul Hastings into a double play, so his no-hitter remained alive. Phil Zdanowski ended that quest with a long double to left to lead off the seventh. And it didn’t end there, as Nick Sinay walked and, after McAvoy struck out Smith, Mike Sniffen also walked to load the bases with one out. Staying cool, McAvoy struck out Jordan Vile, his 13th K of See Baseball, page 6

Finding your best bet for veggies
Wondering what varieties work well? So are researchers!
So, you’ve tilled the soil, dug your rows and have fertilizer at the ready. But what should you plant? Obviously, you will choose some favorite vegetables, herbs and fruits to cultivate in your home garden, but, since 2004, a tool has been available online to help you decide what is worthy of being in your garden. This tool, developed by the Cornell Cooperative Extension, is an interactive web site for gardeners to share their experiences with seed varieties, as well as their advice on which varieties grow the best. Gardeners can register at vegvariety.cce.cornell.edu to rate and review their favorite vegetable varieties, as well as those that didn’t work so well for them. Anyone can visit the site to read those reviews and ratings to find varieties that will work best in their gardens. “It’s like an Amazon.com for vegetable varieties, only we don’t sell the seeds,” said Lori Bushway, the senior extension associate in Cornell University’s Department of Horticulture who coordinates the website. The concept is simple: Gardeners visit this site and report what varieties perform well - and not so well - in their gardens. Other gardeners visit to view the variety ratings and read the reviews to decide which might work well for them. According to the website, “Asking gardeners to partner
with researchers by collecting and sharing their own observations via the web could prove to be a winning combination for all. With a multitude of gardener observations at their finger tips, researchers can gain new insight into the performance of vegetable varieties under a wide range of conditions and practices, and ultimately provide more insight into which varieties perform best. At the same time, gardeners can get advice from a larger community of gardeners to help decide which varieties to try in their own garden.” In addition, the site offers a guide to growing 58 garden vegetables, with detailed descriptions, growing instructions, site and soil requirements, varieties and solutions for managing pests and diseases. “We’re calling on passionate vegetable gardeners to help us spread the word about the site and improve it by contributing more ratings and reviews,” said Bushway. “The more ratings and reviews we get, the more reliable and valuable the site becomes.” The site also links to other Cornell gardening resources, including online growing guides for more than 60 vegetable crops, and a project, Vegetable Varieties Investigation (VVI). This intergenerational citizen science project bridges the technology divide, helping youth connect with gardeners in their community, learn survey skills, and explore biodiversity through the whimsical world of vegetable varieties.

diplomatic about the whole subject. People, he said, should consider how their garden fits into their lifestyle and abilities. If you don’t want to lug a hose to the back corner of your yard every day, plant your garden closer to the water source. Keep it simple - if you like peas, cucumbers and squash, plant those varieties and forget the other vegetables you won’t eat as much.

Home market news
Taking that important step...wi$ely Real estate agents can help save buyers and sellers money Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices have renewed interest in the floundering housing market for many people. Now could be the time to sell and buy a new home and earn an even bigger slice of the real estate pie. Whether an individual is a buyer or a seller, or doing both, his or her goal is to get the best financial deal on the home -- and often that means having a qualified real estate agent working in his or her corner. Those entering the real estate realm may have misconceptions about what’s involved. Oftentimes, individuals think they can go it alone and save money on real estate commissions in the process. However, not having a knowledgeable agent to navigate the process can end up costing more money in the long run. An agent is not there just to open up houses for viewing or to simply put a for-sale sign on the front lawn. Agents guide the seller or buyer through a complicated process of legalities and emotional hurdles.
The agent also n e g o t i at e s f o r the buyer and seller to help them make important financial decisions. “When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” said Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors. “Advertising is important, but, once sellers have an offer, they need a strong negotiator to help them get the best price and terms. Buyers should also look for agents who have strong negotiating skills and neighborhood knowledge which will help them make the most of their purchasing power.” Individuals can expect a real estate agent to help them navigate a process that, to first-time buyers or sellers, can prove intimidating.
AGENTS CAN HELP SAVE WHEN BUYING A HOME...
1. Schedule a consultation to discuss what features and amenities buyer is looking for in a home. 2. The agent may suggest buyers speak with a mortgage consultant to figure out their buying power and obtain a mortgage pre-approval letter. 3. The agent will then look up home listings in a particular price range and help the buyers to view the homes. 4. When buyers find a home they want to purchase, the real estate agent will help them come up with a fair market price and write up the contract to present to the seller. 5. The agent will help the buyer negotiate on the final price with the seller. 6. In some states, the agent will accept a down payment to place in trust or work with a real estate attorney on behalf of the buyer. 7. The agent may be present during a home inspection, which is recommended. 8. The agent will then schedule the home appraisal. 9. He or she will then confirm the closing and be present at closing with the buyer and the attorney, if necessary.
OR SELLING A HOME
1. The real estate agent will meet with the sellers and evaluate the home and property. 2. He or she will do a market analysis to figure out the best price to list the house based on the neighborhood and comparable sales. 3. The agent may make suggestions for repairs or improvements that can help make the home more attractive to buyers. 4. The real estate agent may present a marketing plan that indicates where the home will be advertised. 5. He or she will write up a listing agreement and begin the process of marketing the home. 6. An open house for real estate brokers may be scheduled, also a caravan of brokers from the agents’ own real estate office and surrounding affiliates. 7. An open house for buyers will be scheduled. 8. The agent will field calls from other agents and notify the seller when a viewing request has been made. 9. Follow-up feedback can be offered, which may include information the agent receives by making calls to people who viewed the home or by tracking how many potential buyers viewed the home listing. 10. When an offer comes in, the agent will notify the sellers and advise him or her of the negotiation process. 11. The agent will be present during the home inspection, if the buyer requests one. 12. The agent will schedule with the city or town to have a certificate of occupancy inspection conducted. 13. The seller will be notified by the agent when the buyer has obtained a mortgage commitment and made good faith deposits. 14. The agent will likely be present at the home closing with the real estate attorneys. Individuals buying or selling a home can certainly do it by themselves, but real estate agents have the knowledge and provide assistance through the myriad steps of the process, helping individuals to save time and money.

I have a low attention span. This means I will walk right by a plant begging for attention and not notice. 2. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always in a rush. Even just to the store to pick up the milk, I tend to grab and run. No time to weed, feed or seed. 3. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tend to tie things in a neat bow. I know what will happen: I will begin the garden with the best of intentions, then let it rest, half-done, until the leaves start falling in autumn. In the meantime, the garden will serve as a reminder of my defeat. So, though I recognize the value of having a home garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; money saved, yummy produce and enjoyment of being outdoors while working â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to start one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet. Why does the fact that I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t firmly closed the door on the idea of starting a garden sound more like a threat than a promise?
Tree talk
The importance of periodic pruning By Tom Mullarney ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, Bartlett Tree Experts Central New York properties have both young and mature trees that require periodic maintenance. Pruning is the most common procedure for maintaining trees. Pruning should be done with an understanding of how the trees respond to each cut. Improper pruning may cause damage that can last for the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifespan or, worse yet, can shorten the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifespan.
Why is periodic pruning necessary?
Pruning is necessary for various reasons such as the removal of weak branching, and to provide structural, lighting, utility lines, pedestrian traffic and/or vehicular traffic clearance. Pruning is also an invigorating process. By removing dead, dying, diseased, and crossing and conflicting limbs, energy reserves are directed towards growth in remaining branches. Periodic pruning should maintain a desirable, natural shape while enhancing the beauty and health of your landscape.

Third Annual Spring Open at Timber Banks
Tree talk
From previous page
When should you begin pruning trees?
Pruning young plants helps them build a strong structure to support future growth. Most young trees require a strong central leader and balanced branching to ensure the proper distribution of weight and to prevent future structural problems. A tree with minimal structural problems will be less likely to fail during a heavy rain or snowstorm. Proper structure reduces the risk to your treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and also reduces the risk of damage to your home and property from falling limbs.
Wound dressings
Wound dressings were once thought to help wound closure, and protect against disease and insect activity. However, research has shown that dressings do not reduce decay or speed closure. In addition, they rarely prevent disease or insect activity. Most experts do not recommend using wound dressings. If dressing is to be used it is simply for aesthetic purposes only (i.e., covering an obvious tree wound).
When Should I Consult A Certified Arborist?
If a pruning job requires the use of a ladder, you need to call a certified arborist to have the work completed. I strongly recommend hiring a certified arborist to evaluate and give you appropriate recommendations for any of your pruning needs. A tree care professional will be able to provide you with the services of a trained crew, including all required safety equipment and the appropriate liability insurance. Be careful if an arborist suggests â&#x20AC;&#x153;toppingâ&#x20AC;? your tree. A knowledgeable arborist knows that topping is not a standard practice, as it is very harmful to trees. Remember, periodic pruning can provide major health, safety and aesthetic benefits for your trees; but only if it is completed properly.

Katrina Russo, President – CEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association, is proud that the Bank’s hometown approach comes first. “As a community bank, we have first-hand knowledge of our local markets and its businesses,” said Russo. She mentioned the advantage smaller, local banks have in pricing deposit and loan products, reaching out to customers and making exceptions. “We know our customers and understand their place in the local economy,” she continued. This community bank is also set apart from the larger institutions in that they have always taken great pride in the tremendous in-house talent they have built at the Association. Because they develop a deep talent pool, they are able to promote from within, which furthers their understanding of their customer base. “Our personnel live and work in the same areas as our customers,” said Russo. It is because of this veteran talent that they have been able to continue to perform strongly, even in the most difficult operating environments. “This is a win-win environment that we work within. Our employees understand our customers’ concerns and our customers reap the benefit of the Association’s ability to quickly adjust to the local economy, which can change rapidly,” said the president. The current operating environment in the banking arena is one of change and opportunity. The Association is in a stage where policymakers are looking to reform and reshape our financial system no matter what the size or charter of the institution. She continued, “While we must make sure
At left, Seneca Federal Savings President-CEO Katrina M. Russo and Wendy K. Bodnar, EVP-CFO. that we are out there telling the positive story of community banks, we must also make sure we are looking for the opportunities that the changes to the economic landscape will bring. In this new landscape, I believe there will be tremendous opportunities for community banks.” The president, who has now been in her current position for one year, reiterated the message of the past President. Simply put she stated, “Our message is simple, and a proven one: community lenders extend credit responsibly and work to increase the wealth of its customers through the lowest possible lending products and the highest possible deposit product rates.” She stressed that the community bank model works. She continues to tell their story of responsible lending and of the positive customer relationships they strive to build. After all, they have a great story to tell and if they don’t tell it, who will?

By Waded Gonzalez-Candelaria, public health educator Are you thinking about fixing up the old homestead? Are you planning on doing the project on your own or hiring someone to do it for you? Was your home built before 1978? If it was, it may contain lead paint. When lead paint is disturbed during remodeling, dangerous lead dust is created. Young children and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from exposure to lead dust, but anyone can become lead poisoned. The Onondaga County Health Department Lead Poisoning Control Program would like you to consider the following questions before you start your project: Was the house built before 1978? Will you be disturbing the paint? Have you had the paint tested to see if it is lead paint? What safety precautions will you or your contractor/handyman take to protect yourself and your children from exposure to hazardous lead dust? The most important thing to consider when remodeling is controlling the lead dust. You can do this by following these tips: Work smart To keep paint chips and dust contained, work in one area at a time; enclose the work area using heavy plastic (6 mil); Keep pregnant women and children out of the work area; Protect yourself by washing your hands and eating or drinking outside the work area; Wear a protective mask to prevent inhaling lead dust. Work wet Avoid creating lead dust by using a spray bottle to wet an area to be sanded or scraped Work clean Clean up daily. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow anyone into the work area until the daily cleanup is complete Learn more about working safely with lead paint.

WG girls fend off B’ville, move to 14-0 By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com
True, the gap between the West Genesee girls lacrosse team and Baldwinsville, its primary chaser among the Section III Class A challengers, may have decreased in the month since their April 5 encounter. But the state no. 1-ranked Wildcats are still out in front, as it proved again last Thursday afternoon when it went to B’ville and, led by Katey Hart’s four goals and four assists, powered its way to a 12-8 victory over the Bees. The first game had gone 17-11 in WG’s favor as it led by as much as 10 in the second half before the Bees made a late charge. The rematch took place at Ray Middle School, on a grass field in superior condition to the one at Pelcher-Arcaro Stadium that has taken in nearly a foot of rain in the last month. Immediately, this encounter was different, as B’ville went ahead 2-0 on two goals from Claire Monnat 11 seconds apart. WG settled down, though, as Erica Geremia earned three goals as part of a 6-0 run that stretched deep into the first half. WG held the Bees without a goal for more than 18 minutes as, among other things, defenders Erica Anderson and Shelby Milne took timely charges in front of the net. B’ville would not get blown out here, though, battling back in the late stages of the half. When Maggie Monnat beat Libby Byrne on a free-position shot at the horn, the Bees had closed within 7-5 at they went to halftime. Again, the Wildcats’ defense got tested as B’ville held the ball for the first seven-plus minutes of the second half. However, the Bees only got one goal in that sequence, missing several chances to tie the game. Now Hart would take over, setting up Julie Dussing’s goal before converting herself with 12:12 left. Just a minute later, B’ville picked up its third yellow card, meaning that (thanks to a new rule in the 2011 season) it would spend the rest of the game one player down. And the Wildcats took full advantage, doubling its margin down the stretch. Geremia earned her fourth goal and Hart would convert twice, the last of those goals

J-E girls lacrosse splits close decisions By Phil Blackwell All was in good working order for the Marcellus girls lacrosse team entering Monday night’s clash with Skaneateles – a chance for the Mustangs to atone for a last-second, 9-8 defeat to the Lakers at home back on March 31. Marcellus, still no. 2 in the state Class C rankings (right behind no. 1 CBA), returned to action Thursday night and saw Catherine Nolan deliver the best performance of her varsity career in an 18-9 victory over Onondaga. As it steadily built an 11-5 halftime lead, Marcellus made the Tigers pay for extra attention to Nora Barry as Nolan kept flashing open –and kept converting. By game’s end, Nolan had seven goals and two assists, and her younger sister, Grace, managed a three-goal hat trick of her own. Barry and Molly McGuane both finished with two goals and three assists. Ellen Brooks also found the net twice as Lexi Bird and Audrey Cerrone each got one goal. A second-half comeback and a fine effort in the net from Kelsey Richardson helped Jordan-Elbridge edge Cazenovia 11-10 last Monday night. In a game that was tight all the way, the Eagles trailed 5-4 at the break. But J-E seized the lead in the second half and held on to it because Richardson was making 14 saves, nearly twice that of Lakers counterpart Lauren Devine. Ella Thorpe had a part in most of the scoring plays, with three goals and four assists. Carrie-Jo Farrugia and Amanda Wheeler both had their own three-goal hat tricks, while Kelsey Youmell scored twice. Mallory Snyder joined Farrugia and Wheeler with single assists. Gabby Jaquith led Cazenovia with three goals and three assists. Then the Eagles went to Westhill Thursday and had an entirely different result, squandering a big early lead as the Warriors for a 13-12 win that might turn its season around. Mired at 2-7 and losing any hope of qualifying for the playoffs, it wasn’t a surprise that
the Warriors fell into an 8-2 deficit by halftime. What was surprising was how it all turned around after the break, Westhill outscoring J-E 11-4 to pull out in front. Molly Kiggins, with four goals, led the turnaround as Brenna Rainone and Maggie Tripodi each got three goals and Tripodi added two assists. Nicole Easterly scored twice and Hannah O’Connor also scored as Gretchen Krzykowski recorded 12 saves. J-E lost despite Thorpe’s four goals and one assist. Youmell, with three goals and two assists, matched that point total as Farrugia got three goals and one assist. Wheeler had a goal and two assists and Emily Bates also converted. The J-E boys team won over Whitney Point 18-8, racing to an 11-2 lead by halftime. Gale Thorpe had four goals and five assists, with Mo Town amassing six goals and one assist. Zach Stevenson, Aurie Schwarting and Tyler Richardson each scored twice, with Matt Thorpe adding a goal and two assists. Mike Killeen and Derrick Cheney scored, too. Bishop Luddne’s girls team took a 20-12 defeat to Skaneateles, though the Gaelic Knights stayed within range during the first half, only trailing 9-5, but got overwhelmed by the Lakers’ attack. Kat O’Hara managed four goals, while Jennifer Vazquez, Emily Granteed and Mary Ritchie got two goals apiece. Liz Tully and Erannan Shattuck each got one goal and one assist. Emily Wheeler added an assist. Dianne Vitkus (five goals, two assists) and Shelby McNeilly (four goals, three assists) led the Skaneateles attack. Ludden also lost to Manlius-Pebble Hill 6-5, victimized by Scarlet Jaworski’s five-goal effort for the Trojans. Ritchie had three assists as O’Hara, Shattuck, Wheeler, Vazquez and Gemma O’Kane got the goals. Then the Gaelic Knights fell Saturday to state Class C no. 1-ranked CBA 17-7 despite Ritchie and Shattuck each notching two goals. O’Kane, Vazquez and O’Hara had the other goals as Caroline Webster led the Brothers with six goals.
Boys lacrosse Warriors top Marcellus, 5-4 By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com In what’s turned into a recurring theme this spring, the Westhill and Marcellus boys lacrosse teams again found themselves on the wrong end of close decisions. So it only figured that, when they played Friday night, the host Warriors would have
to scrape hard to beat the Mustangs in a 5-4 decision and improve to 6-6 on the season. Having slumped badly in recent weeks, Marcellus fell behind here, too, 2-0, only to awaken its attack in the second period and work its way to a 3-3 tie. Just as quickly, though, the Warriors
took over again on the defensive side, again limiting Marcellus without a goal in the third period. By then, Westhill had the slim margin it would nurse the rest of the night. John Zimmerman had a part in every scoring play, as he got four assists to go with his lone tally. Austin Webb, Justin Selbach,
Owen Nicola and Rich Easterly benefited with the other goals. Just as important was Mark McAnaney’s 10 saves, one more than Mustang counterpart Chris Martin. For Marcellus, Tyler Tomeny scored twice as Dalton Wenzel and Kevin Hutchings earned the other goals. See Warriors, next page

Solvay softball remains in first place By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com In many different ways, the Solvay softball team is fending off challengers and staying atop the OHSL Liberty division. One such case involved last Wednesday’s game against Christian Brothers Academy, where one big rally proved enough to beat the Brothers 5-1. Cold, damp conditions played to the advantage of Solvay ace Julie Gardner, and she worked her way to a complete game, only allowing a sixth-inning run while limiting CBA to three hits and earning seven strikeouts. Solvay stayed patient at the plate against CBA ace Jordan
Sheridan, overcoming Sheridan’s 12 strikeouts and deciding matters with a four-run rally in the bottom of the fourth. Gardner helped her own cause with a solo home run as Sydney Cimini earned a pair of RBIs. Chelsie Delperuto and Kiersten DiBello each drove in one run, with DiBello notching a pair of hits. As this went on, Solvay continued to play well, going to Hannibal and earning a 9-2 win over the Warriors to stay in first place in the OHSL Liberty division. A three-run second inning was all the Bearcats needed, but it tacked on five runs in the fourth as it coaxed 11 different walks. Delperuto earned two RBIs as Cimini and DiBello each scored twice. Gardner gave up just two hits, striking out seven, just as she would against CBA.
West Genny baseball goes 2-1, falls to RFA By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com From a 6-0 start, the West Genesee baseball team suddenly had to deal with a pair of home defeats – not to mention the rain that caused havoc on everyone’s schedules. It was Rome Free Academy, with a 2-5 record, which came to Camillus last Monday and pulled out a 5-4 win over the Wildcats. WG was behind, 2-0, after the Black Knights got single runs in the first and third innings, but went in front with three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Unfazed, RFA went back in front with two runs in the fifth and a run in the sixth, and though WG closed the margin to one, it could not quite catch up. Cam Kyle had two RBIs, while Greg Wadach managed two hits and an RBI and Eric Spencer also drove in a run. Rob Waller led the Black Knights with two doubles and two RBIs. Rained out Wednesday at Utica Proctor, the Wildcats took on Central Square Friday at Alliance Bank
Stadium as part of the Strike Out Lou Gehrig’s Disease Classic, benefiting ALS research and awareness. And the Wildcats returned to the win column with an 11-6 decision, mostly because it jumped all over the Red Hawks with seven runs in the top of the first inning. It was 9-0 before Central Square nearly caught up with six runs in the bottom of the fifth, only to have WG score twice in the sixth to restore some of the early cushion. Erik Krohl and Matt Petrick both drove in two runs, with Krohl and Dave Salvagni each scoring two runs. Eric Spencer added a pair of hits as Matt Naton pitched 4 1/3 innings for the win, striking out eight. Spencer and Matt Greco worked in relief. In a non-league game on Saturday, WG beat Christian Brothers Academy 9-3, just a day after the Brothers had handed Cicero-North Syracuse its first loss of the season at the tail end of the Alliance Bank Stadium twin bill. Four first-inning runs were all the Wildcats (9-2) needed, but it used tworun rallies in the fourth and fifth innings to get away. Wadach and Petrick each had two RBIs, while Krohl, Brian
Burns and Mike Sgroi also drove in runs. John Fredette pitched the whole way, holding CBA to five hits. WG’s softball team began a full slate of late-season contests Thursday by blasting Nottingham 26-1. The Wildcats scored at least twice in each inning, peaked by an eight-run rally in the sixth, on its way to 28 hits for the afternoon. Trish Andrews, Christina Sakran and Lexie Myers each had four hits and combined to score 16 runs as Lauren Shepherd added four hits and two runs scored. Ashley Amidon, who pitched a one-hitter with nine strikeouts, had three hits and scored three times. Two days later, the Wildcats (5-1) beat Auburn 12-2, though the game was a close affair until a big sixth inning where WG tore up the Maroons for eight runs. Amidon had a fine all-around effort. Aside from her complete-game pitching effort where she held Auburn to five hit, she smacked a home run and triple, finishing with three RBIs. Andrews and Mackenzie Glynn each doubled and drove in runs as Katie Regin and Rachel Hayden picked up one RBI apiece.
WG boys tennis keeps unbeaten mark By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com West Genesee’s boys tennis team had to wait out more rain – but not before moving to 13-0 on the season in last Monday’s 6-0 shutout of Nottingham. One match was forfeited, and in those that were completed, Brent Boleslav and Garrett Boleslav both won 6-0, 6-0 shutouts over, respectively,
Warriors
From page 18
Both teams lost overtime games before facing each other. For the Warriors, it proved particularly frustrating, as it nearly knocked off state Class C no. 6-ranked LaFayette last Tuesday before a late comeback by the Lancers led to a 13-12 defeat. The irony was that Westhill had made it own terrific comeback to go in front. From a 2-2 first-quarter draw, the Warriors saw LaFayettte steadily gain a 10-7 lead as it went to the fourth quarter. But led by Zimmerman, Westhill dominated the early part of the fourth quarter, forging an 11-11 tie, then moving out in front 12-11 with less than two
James Jackson and Renaldo Memelli. The doubles teams of Brett Smith-Andrew Albert, Tyler Arnold-Erik Breault and Shane Heyn-Mike LaValle all had straight-set wins, too. The Wildcats also shut out LaFayette 7-0 on Wednesday, getting a brief scare in doubles before Nolan Ferris and Steve Gasparini beat Zach Anthony and Kyle Robinson 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. Brent Boleslav beat Phil Wright 6-3, 6-2 in the closest singles match.
A 7-0 win over Utica Proctor followed on Thursday, with only one real danger point. Garrett Boleslav lost the first set to Kevin Vo before rallying to take the match 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. The Wildcats got every other point in two sets, not losing more than two games in any of those 12 sets. Hanging around in the OHSL Liberty division race, Westhill won a
minutes left. All told, Zimmerman had seven goals, more than half his team’s output. However, the Lancers had the last surge, tying it 12-12 when Leigh Hubler scored just after the Warriors had gone in front. LaFayette then won the ensuing draw and, with 38 seconds left, Lyle Thompson beat Mark McAnaney for what proved to be the game-winner. Webb and Connor Byrne both had two goals in support of Zimmerman, with Nicola adding one goal and one assist. McAnaney finished with 12 saves as Thompson led LaFayette with five goals and one assist. Marcellus met the same fate in a 12-11 double-overtime loss to Tully,
and even the game followed the same pattern as the Mustangs, down 6-4 at halftime, fought back in then next two periods to pull even, 11-11, as regulation ended. One OT session did not yield a result, but the Black Knights got the winning goal in the second OT. This negated a solid effort from Tyler Tomeny, who led with three goals as R.J. Linder and Kevin Hutchings both scored twice. Wenzel, Connor Wheeler, and Jason Decker had the other goals, while Tom McNaney and Nick Nye earned assists.. Jake Guy (four goals, two assists) and Chris Cook (two goals, four assists) led Tully’s effort.

The slumping Mustangs went to streaking Westhill last Friday afternoon and, in a complete reversal of both team’s fortunes, earned a surprising 5-2 victory over the Warriors. Again, Warrior ace Toni Secreti appeared to be cruising along. But in the top of the third inning, the Mustangs got to her for four runs, three of them coming home on Meghan Witkowski’s bases-clearing double, just after Tabby McBride’s RBI put Marcellus up 1-0. Witkowski added another RBI in the fifth to make it 5-0. Westhill would chip away at that margin with runscoring hits by Andrea Golembiewski and Erica Lobello. But Marcellus pitcher Molly MacLachlan, who allowed nine hits, kept getting out of trouble thanks to a defense that only committed one error behind her. Everything leading up to this game sent a contradictory message, as the Warriors were starting to catch fire and the Mustangs were going in the other direction. Westhill played through the rain in last Monday’s game at Christian Brothers Academy and, in eight innings, earned a key OHSL Liberty division win, edging the Brothers 2-1. Billed as a pitcher’s battle between Secreti and Jordan Sheridan, the two aces did, indeed, control matters. The Warriors fell behind 1-0 in the first inning on Sheridan’s single that scored Claire Gollegly, but Secreti blanked CBA from there, only allowing three hits while striking out eight. Sheridan, meanwhile, kept her team in front, amassing 12 strikeouts and constantly escaping possible rallies until Westhill, three outs from defeat, notched a run in the seventh to tie it, 1-1. Then, in the eighth, the Warriors loaded the bases, and an error allowed Carrie Griffo to race home with the go-ahead run. Kelly Mascari had three of Westhill’s 10 hits, while Kylie Tucker got a pair of hits. And that only began the good work as Secreti threw a no-hitter on Wednesday, needing to be that sharp as Westhill beat Jordan-Elbridge in another 2-1, eight-inning decision. Despite not giving up a hit and striking out 15, Secreti surrendered a run in the top of the fifth, putting J-E up 1-0. However, the Warriors tied it in the bottom of that winning and won it in the eighth when Golembiewski scored and raced home on Secreti’s decisive triple. Alexis Rouse took the loss despite only allowing three hits in seven regulation innings. Earlier in the week, J-E beat Marcellus 5-2, and did so in dramatic style. Up 2-0, the Eagles gave up two runs in the sixth on Jessie Manahan’s triple as the Mustangs pulled even, 2-2, but it answered with three runs in the top of the seventh to win it. Katie Byrnes and Natalie Andrianos led J-E with two RBIs apiece as Byrnes doubled and Andrianos tripled. Rouse scored a pair of runs and also pitched a complete game, allowing six hits but striking out eight. MacLachlan took the loss. The Mustangs’ struggles continued Thursday in an 11-7 loss to Cazenovia. A wild second inning saw Marcellus fall behind 5-1, only to score five times and grab a 6-5 lead. That would not last, though, as the Lakers managed two runs in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings to reclaim the lead, led by Korena Fenton and Taylor Malmsheimer, who produced five RBIs apiece. In defeat, Tabby McBride and Sophie Jackson each drove in two runs, with MacLachlan and Jessie Manahan getting single RBIs. So nothing indicated that, on Friday, two streaks would end – and Westhill would find itself further behind Solvay in the OHSL Liberty division. Marcellus, meanwhile, would go to the Phoenix Tournament, where it would face rival Skaneateles and beat the Lakers 6-2 in the opening round. In the finals against host Phoenix, the Mustangs lost 5-1, the Firebirds using three runs in the first inning and two runs in the third to pull through.

Pointon and Ronnie Tyler 6-3, 5-7, 6-1. But the Warriors could not manage a point in Friday’s 5-0 loss to CBA. In fact, the closest math in doubles involved Jordan Frary and Ryan McConnell falling to Ash Kamani and Dan Mantooth 6-2, 6-2. Marcellus returned to the win column by blanking Jordan-Elbridge by that same 5-0 margin. Between them, James Garzia, Dan Martin and Bryan Swierczek lost just four games in six sets of work. Shane Barner and Mike Raymond beat Nick Pierlioni and Anthony Trinh 6-0, 6-1, with Shane Barner and Kyle McVey getting past Kyle Sherman and Stevie Smith 6-2, 6-1.

pair of 5-0 matches over Jordan-Elbridge on Wednesday afternoon. In single-set matches to 10 games, Bryan McMullen held off Nick Gallaro 10-6, with Josh Gallaro and Dan Chang also undefeated in singles. The doubles teams of Lee Detota-Cole Kelly and Nate Chapin-Jordan Frary met with similar success for the Warriors. Following up, Westhill beat Hannibal 4-1 on Thursday afternoon. Detota and Kelly both won 6-1, 6-1 matches over, respectively, Joe Griffin and Darryl Rupert. Dan Haynes beat Trent Lamb 6-3, 6-2. Ryan Conroy and Gus Gosson fought past Zane

joined Smith and Zdanowski in notching a pair of hits. Given all that early support, Zdanowski easily earned the win on the mound, going four innings as Vile went the rest of the way in relief, the pair combining on a two-hitter with seven strikeouts. Against CBA, the Warriors wasted little time, getting five runs in the first, two of them on Mark Syron’s long home run, and had the margin to 10-0 by the fourth inning. McAvoy was a bit wild, allowing five hits and a walk, but his solid work hinted at what he would do against Marcellus. And once that was done, Westhill tore up Skaneateles 16-1 Saturday in the first of back-to-back games against the Lakers, with the rematch set for Monday. Marcellus met Corcoran at Alliance Bank Stadium in the third and final day of the fourth annual Strike Out Lou Gehrig’s Disease Classic, which benefits ALS research. The Mustangs beat the Cougars 8-2 as Sinay smashed a home run in the first inning and later added a ground-rule double as he, along with Vile and Smith, drove in two runs apiece. Comfortable on the big stage, Schneider pitched and went all seven innings, holding Corcoran to four hits and earning six strikeouts as the Mustangs improved to 6-3 on the season.

the afternoon, before Tim Schneider coaxed his own walk to bring home a run. Finally, with the tying runs on base, Mike Welsh grounded out to end it. The Mustangs went to Westhill coming off back-to-back league wins. Following up on its 4-2 win over Solvay April 29, the Mustangs took on Jordan-Elbridge last Monday and put up a lot of offense early to beat the Eagles 8-3 in a game shortened to six innings by rain. Marcellus jumped all over J-E pitcher Leland Holmes for five runs in the bottom of the first inning, all it would need, though it tacked on three more runs in the next two innings. Phil Zdanowski, Nick Sinay, Jordan Smith, Mike Sniffen and Taylor Vile each drove in runs as Sinay scored twice. Meanwhile, pitcher Tim Schneider struck out eight in five innings of work, with Mark Delfavero working the final inning of relief. The Eagles’ Pat Kelly hit a solo home run. Marcellus went all seven innings against Cazenovia on Thursday, but did not need that long to decide matters in a 10-1 romp over the Lakers. All of the 10 runs came in the first three innings, as Smith and Sniffen both earned a pair of RBIs. Smith, along with Zdanowski and Sinay, scored three runs apiece as Vile
