Baldwinsville teen travels to Haiti to help rebuild

A day in the lifeThe following is an excerpt from Nicholle’s

aunt Kari’s blog (karigoestohaiti.blogspot.com) about her experiences as a volunteer in Haiti:

Barely any food. All Hands provides support to just play and be with these attention-starved children. Got there around 8:30 and most were in pretty good moods.

Nicholle Gerde is a senior at Baker High School who enjoys traveling.

About a year ago, the 17-year-old went to New Or-leans. In November, she journeyed to Haiti. However, her trips are not your typical getaways. This teen travels to help others and she has come away with some valu-able experiences.

“I went to New Orleans with some people from my church to help with the Hurricane Katrina efforts,” she said. “I feel that a lot of people are so caught up in their own lives that they don’t take the chance to help others around them. I also love to travel and [Haiti] was just an amazing opportunity for me. It’s really helped me figure out a little better what I want to do in the future.”

Nicholle flew to Haiti Nov. 11 as a volunteer with All Hands, a United States based, volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization. There, she participated with the organization’s Project Leogane.

Project Leogane aims to rebuild the coastal town of Leogane, which was almost completely destroyed after a devastating earthquake struck the region Jan. 12, 2010.

Baker HS launches student newspaper

By Kelly Cary, BCSD

Extra! Extra! Before the December holiday break, Baker High School launched a new school newspaper, The Bakery. The paper’s catchy motto, “News fresh out of the oven,” is a promise to readers that the news will be current and on trend with what’s happening at the high school. The inaugural edition featured informa-tion on a gamut of topics, including the district’s 2011-12 budget, music and arts, current events, and an advice column.

The paper is student-created and student-directed.

“It’s important to have a forum in the school for students,” said Edi-tor-in-Chief Hannah Onderdonk, a junior. The paper focuses on informa-tion students want to know and need to know, she said.

Onderdonk wanted to take a journalism class at the high school, but none are offered. When she re-alized that there were several other students interested in journalism and in starting a school newspaper, she ap-proached Principal Joseph DeBarbieri about starting one.

I began my care at Upstate Chiropractic in July 2009. At that time, I had limited mobility in my neck. I also experienced lower back pain on a daily basis and had shoulder stiffness as well. In addition, I had frequent muscle spasms in my neck and back. Now after 17 months of treatment, normal mobility has been restored to my neck, the daily lower back pain is gone and there are no more muscle spasms. Overall, I have increased energy, am sick infrequently, and have a feeling of general well-being.

I am very pleased with the care I have received from Dr. Eric Croucher and Dr. Randy Boivin, and with the personable staff at Upstate Chiropractic. Thank You, Dr. Eric

Boards in brief

Village procures redevelopment monies

By Erin [email protected]

Officials approved procuring a $340,000 fixed-rate, five-year installment bond (with a provision for early pay-off) to complete capital improvement projects within the village.

Projects the village will undertake include water-front projects such as development of dock space on the river and the Village Square project (bids have been accepted and awarded with phase one of the project scheduled to be completed in July). The funds also include monies for the purchase of canal property on Meadow Street, site investigation of the Lock Street property (ensuring the site is free of contamination so the property can be sold) and land acquisition monies for other places in village.

“The most exciting project in front of us is the rede-velopment of Lock Street,” said Mayor Joseph Saraceni. He also thanked Trustee Mark Wilder for researching the Lock Street area and lending his expertise. “You were instrumental in getting us to this point.”

Overall, the village will use $477,000 in funds for the projects.

Van Buren approves Memphis contractOfficials have approved the 2011 Memphis Fire

Contract, which is a shared contract with the town of Camillus. Van Buren’s annual share of the contract is $98,000.

Rather than making a lump sum payment to the fire company, as the town has done in the past, this year payments will be made on a monthly basis in anticipa-tion of an impending merger between Memphis and the Warners Fire Department. Van Buren’s monthly payment will be $16,666. The town of Camillus is currently debating details of the merger; a decision is anticipated in the second or third week in January.

Lysander approves Enterprise contractAfter holding a public hearing Dec. 27, officials ap-

proved a fire contract with Enterprise Fire Company for $89,920.10, which is a two-percent increase com-pared with last year’s contract ($88,156.96). Residents within the coverage area will see a tax rate increase from .8914/$1,000 of assessed value last year to .9092/$1,000 this year. Services remain mostly the same.

“A two percent increase is extremely reasonable,” said Supervisor Barry Bullis, especially considering increases in operation and fuel costs, he added.

Enterprise Fire Company provides fire protection services to the northeastern portion of the Town of Lysander, as well as the Town of Schroeppel and Vil-lage of Phoenix.

Savings soughtVan Buren officials have eliminated a position in the

town’s highway department reducing staff from 10 to nine full-time employees within the department. The budgeted salary has been moved to the road repair funds.

Lysander and village officials have discussed code enforcement services relating to dogs within the town and village, and the possibility of eliminating a du-plication of these services within the village. Rather than budgeting for the services in the 2011-12 village budget, Baldwinsville officials would rely on Lysander’s codes enforcement officer to require compliance in the Lysander section of the village.

Editorial Budweiser dispute settled, budget development underwayIn December, the Baldwinsville

Central School District entered into an agreement with the Town of Ly-sander and Anheuser-Busch to end a dispute over the assessed value of the brewery. The district entered into this agreement to keep Anheuser-Busch as a thriving business in our community, to sustain the district’s quality educational programs, and to avoid costly litigation. The three key terms of the agreement are as follows:

The brewery’s assessment has been reduced from $96 million to $75 million;

A retroactive refund from the school district for the current tax year and the past four tax years for roughly $2.5 million was paid in full as of Dec. 31, 2010 without interest; and

The district will enter into “good faith” negotiations to discuss a Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) Agreement.

Budget development

As I write this, there is not much information coming out of Albany regarding school district aid, but what I am hearing is bleak. As of the last week in December, our state aid runs showed a decrease of ap-proximately $1.4 million in state aid for the 2010-11 school year. With the state running in a deficit, this amount may change before we close our books at the end of June 2011. We have frozen spending in some areas of our budget in anticipation of reduced state aid. With a new governor, I anticipate changes at the state level that will adversely affect the budgets of all public entities including school districts. Although we don’t have any numbers from the state, the Board of Education will continue with the 2011-12 budget development process. We are required by law to have a budget

developed and ready for public vote by May 17.

As you can imagine, it is very difficult for the district to create a budget without knowing exactly how much aid we will receive from the state. I want to assure you that district staff, administrators and the Board of Education will be carefully scrutinizing each area of the 2011-12 budget to determine how best to cut costs and increase efficiency. It has always been my belief that it is better to reduce a little in each area rather than concentrate on a few areas of the budget, in order to create a budget that allows the district to continue delivering quality instruc-tion to our students and to provide them with the tools and services they need to be competitive nation-ally and internationally.

At board meetings from Jan. 24 to March 28, district administra-tors will present components of the 2011-12 budget to the board. At each meeting, the budget discussion will be open to the public for ques-tions and comments after the board’s discussion.

Please come to a meeting or several meetings for information on the budget and to voice your opinions and concerns. Your input is important as we determine how best to preserve quality instruction and opportunities for students while being fiscally responsible to our tax payers.

New e-mail service

The district has a new opt-in e-mail service, BEE Informed, which enables members of the school district community to receive e-mails with the latest district news and information. The service will not replace the district newsletter or our other forms of communica-tion; rather, it will enhance our communications with the commu-nity. The service is free and open to any school district resident or staff member with a valid e-mail address. There are 12 categories of news you can subscribe to. You can opt-in to as many categories as you wish. Please note: This system is not the same as the ConnectEd emergency message system.

Lottery aids local schools’ budgetsIn the past, my office has received

calls from constituents who wonder how much money the lottery makes for the state and where that money goes. I thought many of you would like to read in more detail about lot-tery sales. This department is unlike other state departments in that it is focused on sales.

By state law, all lottery profit is given back to education. According to the Lottery’s financial statements for 2009-10, this was a record-break-ing year for lotto sales. All sales totaled in 2009-10 were $7.818 billion—a 2.1 percent increase from the previous year. This includes tra-ditional lottery ticket sales, scratch offs, quick draw and Take 5 among other games. Lottery tickets are sold at approximately 17,000 licensed retail locations. There are also eight licensed video lottery gaming facili-ties located in Saratoga, Monticello, Farmington, Hamburg, Batavia, Tio-ga, Vernon and Yonkers. Adminis-trative costs for traditional lottery sales were about $651 million. This figure includes operating expenses, fees paid to gaming contractors and

commissions for retailers. As you can imagine, the Lottery’s

biggest expense is prize winners, which totals roughly 80 percent of direct expenses. For traditional lot-tery prizes, this amounted to $3.95 billion. After prizes and expenses were paid, the lottery provided $2.67 billion in aid to education for the 2009-10 fiscal year. This is roughly 12 percent of the state’s total educa-tion budget. Local schools were able to benefit directly from lotto sales. School Districts in Onondaga County were awarded nearly $102 million from the New York State Lottery Department. In Oswego County, schools were awarded about $33 million.

New York State first began to

conduct the Sweet Million drawing in September 2009 and Powerball drawing in February 2010. These sales will also contribute more heav-ily in the Lottery’s next financial report.

Other interesting facts about the lottery:

The Lottery was established in 1967. Since that time, it has earned a cumulative $39.3 billion for education.

Roughly $470 million worth in prizes went unclaimed in the last fis-cal year (March 31-March 31).

Net proceeds earned for Lottery Aid to Education in fiscal year 2010 were up by 4.8 percent from 2009—roughly $122 million.

All Lottery tickets are bearer instruments, meaning they are just like currency. If you lose your ticket, and it does not have your signature on it, anyone can use the ticket to claim a prize.

Federal, state and local income taxes are withheld from prizes more than $5,000 or from prizes more than $600 when the winner does not

The New York Lottery’s Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) Scholarship Pro-gram was not included in the final New York State budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year. As a result, no new scholarships were awarded.

The Lottery states on its web site that it “adheres to an elaborate regimen for each and every Lottery drawing with strict poli-cies and detailed checks and balances. The draw-ing process is videotaped and each component is observed by an indepen-dent auditor to ensure the absolute integrity of each drawing and that each drawing is completely fair and random.”

The first-grade classes at Van Bu-ren Elementary recently celebrated their writing progress with a publish-ing party. They invited their parents and other family members to school so that they could read them the sto-ries they had written and illustrated. Parents and students munched on doughnuts and sipped juice after students shared their stories.

Teachers in kindergarten through fifth grades in the Baldwinsville Central School District are using “Units of Study for Primary Writing,” a writing program created by Lucy Calkins, a leading expert in writing curriculum. The writing program stresses the use of celebration to mark student milestones in order to sustain excitement for writing.

Celebration of writing

BELOW: Zachary Shaw reads to his moth-er, Bridget, at Van Buren Elementary School. He wrote a story about decorat-ing his family’s Christmas tree.

publishing.“Ever ybody can do

something they are inter-ested in,” she said.

She noted that staff members have been recep-tive to the newspaper, and several have asked to have their subject area high-lighted in a future edition and have offered ideas for future articles.

Onderdonk said the next step for the paper is to create a web site to host it to “save money and trees.”

Currently the paper has a limited run and is placed in strategic areas of the building including the library, the main office and the guidance office. A web presence would give The Bakery greater ex-

posure and allow greater access to students and staff members.

Onderdonk said the newspaper staff hopes to make the web version in-

teractive with polls, videos and a comment and feed-back feature. Stay tuned.

Hannah Onderdonk, a junior at Baker High School, and teaching assistant Robert Dice hold the school’s first edition of The Bakery.

G&C Foods donates $10K to food pantryBy Erin Wisneski

[email protected]

A business moving to Van Buren has made a significant donation to the Baldwinsville Community Food Pantry (BCFP).

Last Wednesday, David Lepage and Andy Brussel, the president and category manager (respectively) of G&C Foods, presented Sal-ly Dayger, BCFP volunteer coordinator, with a $10,000 check for the organization.

“When we have a profit-able year, we look to the communities we live in to contribute [donations to],” Lepage said, adding, “We tend to look for orga-nizations that work with children and seniors. The Baldwinsville Food Pantry does that indirectly.”

In addit ion to the $10,000 G&C donated to the BCFP, the company also donated to Baldwinsville Meals on Wheels and Little League locally, and Goli-sano Children’s Hospital,

Ronald McDonald House and others regionally.

“I’m fortunate to be with a company that has had so much growth,” said Brussel,

a resident of Baldwinsville, adding it enables him to contribute to his own com-munity.

According to Dayger,

the pantry usually spends $12,000 to $15,000 per year on food, so the dona-tion will go a long way in providing food to the com-

munity.“This is a big help in pro-

viding milk and egg vouch-ers to people,” she said.

G&C Foods, which is currently located near the Regional Food Market in Syracuse, will relocate to the former P&C warehouse on Walters Road in Van Buren in early March. The company is moving to Van Buren because it has more than doubled in size (from 60 employees in 1997 to 200 currently).

“We have great people,” Lepage said, adding, “We’re looking forward to moving out here.”

Incorporated in 1976, G&C Foods is a food service redistributor with clients spanning from New Eng-land to Ohio. G&C Foods distributes a wide selection of frozen, refrigerated and dry products to clients throughout the Northeast. For more information, visit gcfoods.com.

Baldwinsville Commu-nity Food Pantry (BCFP) serves all residents living

within the Baldwinsville Central School District on a confidential basis. The pantry assists an average of 90 to 100 families per month. The food pantry is located in the First United Methodist Church at the corner of West Genesee and Charlotte streets in Baldwinsville (use the main entrance off the parking lot behind the church); the pantry is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. To make a food or monetary donation, drop it off during hours of operation or mail to Bald-winsville Community Food Pantry, 17 West Genesee St., Baldwinsville, NY 13027.

in front of their damaged or destroyed homes. All Hands volunteers work in and with the community to help with recovery efforts.

Nicholle’s trip to Haiti was inspired by her Aunt Kari, who had previously traveled to Haiti for one month.

“That’s how I became involved with the whole thing,” Nicholle said. “[Kari] was showing the family pic-tures from her trip and I was like ‘I’m going.’”

Once there, the duo stayed on the All Hands base in Leogane. Nicholle worked with rubble teams, learning how to use a sledge hammer, recovering re-bar and mudding (shoveling and removing mud).

“On my first day, I jumped right into ‘mud-ding,’ which was a huge job because of Hurricane Thomas that hit only days before my arrival,” she said. “I was covered from head to toe in mud.”

“On most days, I worked on the rubble teams,” she continued. “We had to break apart all the cement so we could cut the re-bar inside of it to take away the pieces.”

In addition to the strenu-ous work, Leogane lacked the everyday amenities that are taken for granted at home.

“Things were very basic – bucket showers, no warm water, sleeping in a tent and manually flushing toilets

with a bucket,” she said.While the accommo-

dations weren’t quite like home, Nicholle said the atmosphere was family-like, as well as enlightening.

“I met the most amazing people while I was there – international volunteers that had come from Lon-don, Canada, the Nether-lands, Sweden, the U.S. and a lot of other places,” she said. “You learn so many things just being around different types of people. It didn’t take me long to get used to everything because everyone is so welcoming. It’s hard to describe exactly, but even though people come and go by the week, while you are there, you are all like a family.”

A fifth-year French stu-dent, Nicholle was able to use her lessons to commu-nicate with residents.

“I interacted a lot with the locals,” she said, add-ing that translators also assisted with communica-tions. “[Residents] speak Creole, which is very similar to French. We could un-derstand each other pretty well.”

Despite the troubles plaguing the region, Nich-olle found hope in the people’s determination.

“There are very obvious signs of devastation in the area: whole families living in tents, the lack of clean drinking water, the trash all over the place and just the overall living conditions,” Nicholle said. “But, this is a

group of people who is not easily broken. They had to deal with the earthquake, then cholera, then Hurri-cane Thomas, which made cholera worse, and yet they cope every time, because they have to.”

Given the chance, Nich-olle said she definitely plans to return to Haiti and when the opportunity presents it-self, she will stay for a longer period of time.

“There are sure to be oth-er projects in the future and I hope to be a part of them,” she said. “I have my parents to thank because I couldn’t have had this experience without their support.”

Meanwhile, the high school student plans to lend a hand from home.

“With the help of my French club at school, I hope to start fund raising for [All Hands] to keep building schools. They have around seven so far and I think are shooting for somewhere around 20,” Nicholle said.

According to Nicholle’s grandmother, Donna Arse-neau, Nicholle helped plan an opening reception for a new elementary school in Leogane during her trip.

“[Nicholle] is very ar-tistic and painted a girls’ bathroom wash place with a MacKenzie black and white check look,” Arseneau said. “You have to see it to believe it.”

TENDENCIESTendon injuries are painful and can be

disruptive to the lives of individuals who suffer them, particularly athletes. Rupture of a tendon, which endures forces that may exceed five times body weight, is especially serious and may result in excruciating pain and permanent disability if untreated. Researchers are constantly trying to increase their understanding of how injury to the fibrous tissue that attaches muscle to bone can be avoided. One piece of information that recently came to light is that the risk of tendon injuries tends to be higher in female athletes with naturally higher levels of estrogen.

Library From page 5 B’ville hockey beaten by ithacaBy Phil Blackwell

[email protected]

Going into 2011, the Baldwinsville ice hockey team is mired in one of its biggest slumps in years, hardly finding any relief against Division I oppo-nents.

That proved true again in last Thursday’s game at Ithaca, where the Bees got humbled on the defensive side in the first periods of a 5-2 loss to the Little Red.

B’ville did get on the board in the first period, only to see Ithaca still sprint out in front 3-1. By the close of the second period, it was 5-1, and the Bees were un-able to recover.

Mike McElwain had one B’ville goal and assisted on the other, by Steve Schneid, as Griffin Noffey and Brad Burlingame also picked up assists. Ithaca featured Austin Romantic, Eli Gol-brecht (two goals, one as-sist apiece) and Anthony

Massicci (one goal, two assists).

B’ville, at 1-2-1 in Divi-sion I and 2-4-1 overall, does not return to action until Saturday, when its hosts Fulton at the Ice Arena in Lysander.

Living strongCancer survivor benefits

from YMCA program By Judy Salamone

For months, Eileen Altieri, 70, was not feeling well. She was tired and weak and just wasn’t herself. She didn’t want to go to the doctor, as she feared the worst. Finally, last Janu-ary, with some coaxing from her daughter, Altieri, who lives in Syracuse, made the call.

“I was visiting my daughter in Brooklyn and she said to me, ‘mom, if you don’t call the doctor, you are being self-ish,’” Altieri recalled. “I called and I got an appointment right away.”

Altieri’s fears were realized as she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The cancer had metastasized to her lungs and liver and the doctor gave her just three months to live.

“I was numb,” she shared. “All of those months I talked myself out of going to the doctor because I was scared. I was foolish and now I had to face this head-on.”

Altieri immediately had surgery to remove a tumor and began her chemotherapy treatments at Britton-field in East Syracuse. One day, as she was waiting for one of her treatments, she noticed a LIVESTRONG at the YMCA

brochure on the table next to her. She picked it up and started reading.

“It was funny, I was sitting there, thinking to myself, ‘gee, what if there was a program out there where people who were battling cancer or who battled cancer could get together for sup-port and workout’

When I looked down, saw the brochure and started reading it, I was amazed. What a Godsend.”

Since October of 2009, the YMCA of Greater Syracuse has offered the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA physical ac-tivity and well-being program. Over 100 cancer survivors have participated in the program which is offered at the three branches-Downtown, East Area Family YMCA, and the North Area Family YMCA. The program, which is free to YMCA members and non-members, addresses the special wants, needs and interests of cancer survivors. The programs and services have been developed for and with cancer survivors, which include services in the area of wellness and childcare.

Altieri began the Strive & Thrive Program at the

How to make sure your gym is a ‘fit’

Whatever their preference, individuals should be sure an exercise facility can meet their fitness needs before becoming a member.

Running news

What to look for in an exercise facility

When a person decides to make a commitment to a healthier lifestyle, that decision is often ac-companied by the decision to join a gym. Gyms can vary greatly. Some cater to specific activities, such as kick boxing or martial arts, while others are more general in scope, with weight training and cardiovascular equipment and access to per-sonal trainers.

Regardless of which type of facility an indi-vidual is hoping to join, certain external factors go a long way to dictating whether or not joining the gym will be a success. When looking for an ex-ercise facility, the following items should be taken into consideration before signing an agreement.Location

Even the most ardent of gym rats would say it helps a great deal to find a gym that’s conveniently located. If the gym is too far away or getting there requires sitting in heavy traffic, then men and women are much less likely to visit the gym as they would be to visit a gym that’s right down the street or easy to get to.

When looking for an exercise facility, find one that’s either close to home or close to the office (preferably both if you work close to home). For those who work far away from home, the gym’s location should ideally be closer to home to pro-mote working out on weekends when you won’t be anywhere near the office.Fellow members

Certain gyms might prove intimidating or uncomfortable because of their existing members. While the members themselves might be warm and friendly, those new to working out might be intimidated if everyone else in the building looks

like a professional body-builder. In addition, women sometimes feel more com-fortable working out at an

all-female gym.Cost

The cost of gym mem-bership is arguably the

foremost consideration for many people when choos-ing a gym, especially since the economy remains large-

ly unpredictable. When looking for an exercise facility, inquire about mem-bership costs as well as any

initiation fees you may incur or discounts you may be eligible for. Because of the struggling economy, many gyms have waived or are open to waiving sign-up or initiation costs, which can cost in the hundreds of dollars at some facilities.

Also, when discussing cost with a facility employ-ee, ask if there are family discounts or if member-ships are reduced if fees are paid all at once instead of every month. For example, a gym might charge $600 annually ($50 per month), but give a 10 percent dis-count to any members who pay a year’s worth of dues at sign-up. When discussing membership costs, keep in mind many gyms are open to negotiation, but prospec-tive members must initiate any such negotiations.Membership rights

Many gyms boast dif-ferent types of member-ships. Some memberships are all-access and allow members to use the weight room, sauna, pool, etc. Other memberships might cost less but not offer as much access. For instance, a basic membership might offer access to the weight room and cardiovascular machines, but not to the pool or sauna. Choosing the right membership de-pends on the individual. For those who don’t swim and won’t enjoy a post-

workout steam, then the basic membership can save money while still meeting all of the desired needs. For those who want all-ac-cess, the more expensive membership might be more up your alley. Whichever membership is the better fit, be sure the membership agreement lists your rights as a member before signing any paperwork.Hours of operation

Some people prefer to workout before going to work, while others want to sleep in and exercise after a day at the office. Individuals should find a gym that fits their schedules and work-out preferences. It’s also good to inquire about holi-day hours of operation. A good gym won’t shut down entirely during a holiday, and instead stay open on at least a limited schedule.Equipment

Even those new to work-ing out should be able to tell if equipment is up-to-date or outdated. A gym with outdated equipment is best to avoid, as older equip-ment could increase risk of injury. A gym with the lat-est equipment is a gym that likely emphasizes giving its members the best possible environment in which to workout, and that’s impor-tant for all fitness enthu-siasts, but especially those who are just beginning.

East Area Family YMCA last April. Strive & Thrive is for adult cancer survivors who wish to build muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance, improve overall functional ability, and reduce the severity of therapy side effects.

The program incorporates stretching, balance, core work and strength training and consists of six to eight participants.

“I was always active,” Altieri said. “When I started the program in April, I was very weak. I came in very thin and really needed to build muscle mass and strength.”

During her first few weeks of the program, Alt-ieri was only able to lift five-pound weights. By the end of the program in July, she was back lifting 15 pounds, her pre-illness weight, and bench-pressing 100 pounds.

“The support of the trainers at the Y is amazing,” said Altieri, who continues her workouts. “They push you in an encouraging way. They definitely encourage you to stretch yourself and do more. I walk out of there (the exercise room) on cloud nine.

“More importantly,” she added. “The sense of com-munity is what it’s all about. We are all here because of a commonality. But, we don’t talk about our illness. It’s all very positive. It’s just a magnificent program.”

Altieri said that her cancer is almost gone. Her lungs are clear and her liver is almost back to normal. And, she no longer thinks about the prognosis that the doctor gave her back in January.

“The LIVESTRONG Program at the Y has been beneficial to me in so many ways,” Altieri said. “Once you begin to feel better, there’s more hope, you feel more powerful and it reinforces a positive attitude. I feel so good, I forgot how I felt when I first came in.”

CANCERBEWARE

“I had cancer. Cancer never had me.”

Yesterday, I got out my fishing rod. I couldn’t help thinking of everyone at HOA. It was last spring when I found out. I was overwhelmed, dis-traught – and scared. I thought my fishing days were over. �en I went to HOA. My medical team all said, “We have the technology to fight this thing!” and showed me the CyberKnife. It sounded scary, but when I learned how it worked and how safe it was, I had hope for the first time. Your attitude really inspired me, your staff always encouraged me and your plan of action worked. I may have had cancer, but cancer never had me. Today, my kids and I are heading up to the lake.

Seneca Federal an important part of the CNY community

Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association, founded in 1928, has been supporting the Central New York community in many ways since it was founded.

“We’re fortunate to have the resources to pro-vide not only financial support, but also the hu-man resources required by charitable and civic organizations to carry out their most necessary work,” said Katrina Russo, president – CEO. “Wheth-er it’s scholarship funds, ‘Celebrate Baldwinsville,’ replacement of holiday decorations destroyed by vandals, financial support of such organizations as the volunteer fire depart-ments, youth sports, the Baldwinsville 100-year-old Lock celebration, Syra-cuse Home, or YMCA, our communities have always been able to count on Seneca Federal,” said Anna Custer, senior vice president.

Seneca Federal is cur-rently a member of the Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce. Custer is a past president of the chamber, as well as a board member of the Baldwins-

ville Community Scholar-ship Foundation, Inc. and head of the student loan nursing fund for The Fe-male Charitable Society.

There are several other employees who similarly serve the CNY community in similar capacities. Lisa Hetko, branch manager, has recently joined the North Syracuse Chamber of Commerce and coor-dinates events such as the Making Strides against Breast Cancer walk, which Seneca Federal employees took part in again this year. She also spearheads the Costume for a Cause fundraiser at the Associa-tion.

“ This annual event takes place around Hal-loween and raises mon-etary and other appli-cable donations for a local cause,” Hetko said.

“We’re also proud of the financial services we provide to the Central New York community,” Russo said. “We want to actively participate in as-sisting households who have fallen victim to the sub-prime and adjustable rate mortgage market.”

“Concentrating on the needs of Central New Yorkers is what Seneca Federal is all about,” Russo concluded.

Lisa Hetko, branch manager at Seneca Federal, presents donations collected at this year’s Costume for a Cause to Chris Benton of Vera House.

Prostate cancer and the CyberKnifeHematology-Oncology Associates of Central New York is involved in a nationwide

study to assess the efficacy of the CyberKnife for the treatment of prostate cancer. Early evidence of CyberKnife prostate radiosurgery is very promising and comparable to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – one of the current standards for treatment. In fact, the CyberKnife is revolutionizing prostate treatments. In addition to being more precise and as effective as IMRT, CyberKnife prostate ra-diosurgery is completed in five treatments, typically in one calendar week – as compared to 43 treatments or eight to ten weeks of IMRT. The CyberKnife provides a unique and promising treatment for early stage prostate cancer. For more information contact one of HOA’s radiation oncologists or physicists at 472-7504, visit hoacny.com or check out Can-cerBeware.com.

Hemotaology-Oncology Associates are the only provider of CyberKnife services in Central New York.

Springside residents enjoy active community

The residents of Springside at Seneca Hill can enjoy many fun and informative community programs brought right to their door on a regular basis. At the senior com-munity, whether it’s taking part in a creative writing program taught by a SUNY Oswego professor, or an osteoporosis exercise program, the nearly 70 residents have many programs available right where they live. Recently, there have been Health Information Workshops of-fered including those on nutrition and heart health.

In turn, community organiza-tions utilize Springside’s facilities when holding meetings and other functions in their grand dining room or library. Springside hosts between 40 and 50 events each year, for organizations including local service clubs, retiree groups, RSVP workshops, and SUNY-Os-wego. The facility is also often the location for many Oswego Health functions such as board meetings and social gatherings.

Then there are the ever popu-lar Soup Lovers luncheons held October through April the second Wednesday of the month. These luncheons, which are open to the public, attract nearly 200 indi-viduals each month. In addition

to the Soup Lovers events, there is an annual and strawberry festival held in mid-June and summertime hotdog lunch bars.

“These events keep our resi-dents connected with the com-munity,” said Vice President/COO Teresa Ferlito. “Their interest is always piqued as to what organiza-tion is using their beautiful facility for a meeting.”

Along with these outside groups, quarterly education programs are held for the residents. The selected presenters talk about a topic of interest to the residents, which would be either health-related or on a hobby. The presenters are typically local individuals. “These workshops encourage our resi-dents to use their talents and helps them maintain their social lives,” Ferlito said.

Springside at Seneca Hill offers both apartment living with sup-port services, and maintenance free duplexes and cottages for people age 62 and over. There are homes available now and anyone may contact the office for more information at 343-5658.

Springside at Seneca Hill is a not-for-profit organization and an affiliate of Oswego Health.

B’ville wrestlers go 5-4By Phil Blackwell

[email protected]

Baldwinsville’s wrestling team went east, to Dol-geville, to participate in two days worth of events as part of the annual Mountain Duals.

In a field of 18 entrants, the Bees ended up 11th, with an overall record of 5-4, mostly based on a strong second-day show-ing. Indian River took the top spot by beating all nine of its opponents.

The Bees started fast, winning its first two match-es as it beat Whitesboro 51-33 and took out Amsterdam 44-37. But a 47-27 defeat to Colonie began a skid where B’ville also lost to Sandy Creek 48-30 and dropped a close 42-39 decision to Adirondack.

In that match against the Wildcats, B’ville lost despite Antonio Peck’s 23-second pin of James Koperda at 145 pounds. Kevin Paul (96 pounds), Joe Nasoni (171 pounds) and Chad McCardell (112 pounds) also earned pins, with Pat Nasoni (189 pounds) edg-ing Devin Riegler 2-1.

On the second day, things brightened when B’ville routed the host Dol-

geville Blue Devils 52-15. Though the Bees would fall to Gouverneur 46-36, it would storm right back and win the last two matches, smashing Johnstown 76-6 and edging past Camden 41-39.

Securing that last match against the Blue Devils with a winning mark in the meet at stake proved quite excit-ing as B’ville needed a late rally to pull it off.

Camden won three of the first four contests, the lone exception Ryan McArdell, at 135, pinning Chad Finch in 1:38. Peck wore down Jake Mayden in a 17-1 tech-nical fall to help, too.

Then Nick Balduzzi, at 160, pinned Marcus Chest-nut in a scant 47 seconds, and the Nasoni brothers followed with pins – Joe over Joshua Reed in 1:43, Pat over Thad Casler in 3:23.

When Camden re-sponded with four straight wins, the Bees were down 39-29 with two matches left. Even a forfeit to Chad McArdell at 112 meant that Joey Shaheen had to win at 119 over Alex Monteith to pull it out.

And just like he did against Liverpool’s Nate Hathaway on Dec. 14, Sha-

heen delivered in the clutch, earning his pin over Mon-teith 1:11 into the second period to give B’ville some nice momentum as 2011 loomed.

In the new year, B’ville will visit Central Square Wednesday night, then head back north on Sat-urday, this time going to Oswego for the Buc Booster Duals – where Indian River is present again, as are Ci-cero-North Syracuse and Oneida.

B’ville boys hoops takes first defeats B’ville girls claim third at ESM tournament

By Phil [email protected]

Having sped to a 3-0 start, the Baldwinsville boys basketball team want-ed more success out of its annual trip to East Syra-cuse-Minoa’s Vince Celi Memorial Tournament – but could not even win a game as it absorbed a pair of frustrating defeats.

It all started with last Monday’s opening round, against Auburn. Leading the entire first half, the Bees could not keep the Maroons’ Mike Granato from taking over as his side beat B’ville by a score of 70-66.

With a well-balanced attack, B’ville started out on a 12-3 spurt in the game’s first four minutes. For the rest of the half, the Bees’ defenders took turns containing Granato (who had just four points) and led by as much as 10 before going to the break with a

32-25 edge.It was 34-25 when, in

the third quarter, Granato went into high gear. He had 10 of the points as the Maroons used a 17-3 run to move in front. All told, Granato had 17 points in that period and would fin-ish with 32 points overall.

Refusing to go away, B’ville, down 62-52 late in the fourth quarter, used six straight points to move within 62-58. But three starters – Kevin Roy, Nick Riley and Brett Charbon-neau – fouled out in the closing minutes, thwarting the rally.

Ricky Kompf led B’ville’s late push and set a career mark with 20 points. Roy had 12 points, with Chris Whalen adding 10 points. Charbonneau and Wil-lie Hython each got nine points.

So in the consolation game, the Bees met the hosts from ESM, who had seen its own second-half

lead disappear against Mexico in a 61-56 defeat. Here, the Bees would lead late – but could not hold on in a 70-68 defeat decided at the buzzer.

Twice, B’ville fell be-hind double digits, in the first and third quarters. Both times, it came back as Roy (whose 18 points made him an All-Tour-nament selection) and Hython, who f inished with 19 points, led the way.

A tense fourth quarter saw the lead switch hands seven times and both sides struggle at the free-throw line. With 29.5 seconds left, Charbonneau’s free throw made it 68-66, but ESM drove down and, with 18.6 seconds left, pulled even 68-68 on Josh Stuper’s runner.

With a chance to run down the clock and get the last shot, B’ville instead turned it over with 7.9 sec-onds left – time enough for

ESM’s Joe Greco to miss a possible winning jump-er, but see the rebound bounce to the left, where Ryan Dadey let fly at the buzzer – and made it.

B’ville had a chance to recover from all this Thurs-day in a non-league home game against Massena, but again went down to defeat, this time by a score of 89-83.

A fast-paced affair saw the Bees take a 60-57 advantage to the fourth quarter, but not hold on as it gave up 32 points in that last frame to the Red Raid-ers. Five players scored in double figures as Roy earned 16 points, Whalen got 15 points, Kevin Drain 12 points, Hython and Kompf 10 points apiece.

So B’ville takes a 3-3 record into 2011 – and the start of CNY Counties League play as it visited fast-starting West Genesee on Tuesday and hosts Utica Proctor Friday night.

True, the Baldwins-ville girls basketball team scraped out a third-place effort from last week’s Vince Celi Memorial Tournament at East Syracuse-Minoa – but it nearly was a lot better.

The Bees, in fact, led un-beaten Class A contender Whitesboro with less than two minutes to play in last Monday’s opening round, but could not hold on, taking a 54-48 loss to the Warriors.

From the time the game tipped off, it proved close and physical. Having not played in 13 days, B’ville took a while to get its of-fense settled – but in the meantime, it held Whites-boro without a field goal in the first quarter and led

6-2.Things changed in the

second period, each side making runs before going to the break in a 19-19 deadlock. In a back-and-forth third quarter, the lead switched hands 10 times, but the Bees sneaked in front 36-35 with one pe-riod left.

No one could get away, the margin never more than three points much of the final period as Maggie Monnat used a trio of free throws to push the Bees back in front 48-46 with less than two minutes left.

But Francesca Cou-troupe made the big shots down the stretch, the Whitesboro senior hitting a jumper with 1:22 left to tie it, then a lay-up with 43 seconds left to push the Warriors ahead for good.

Leonard Ci-faratta, 49Loved spending time with family and friends

Leonard Charles Ci-faratta, 49, of Baldwinsville, died Saturday Dec. 25, 2010, at St. Joseph’s Hospi-tal. Len was a 1979 graduate of North Syracuse High School and 1981 graduate of Onondaga Community College. He was previously employed by Carrier Corp. where he worked for 12 years as a customer service representative. Len loved spending time with his family and friends. Anyone that knew him loved him, you always knew when Len was in the room. He always made you laugh and cry. He will always have a special place in everyone’s heart and he will be dearly missed by everyone.

He was predeceased by his father, John, in 1976. He is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Bobbi, whom he loved so dearly and was his strength throughout the years. Len is also survived by his mother, Catherine Cifaratta-Brayton of North Syracuse; brothers, Jo-seph; John (Cynthia); Peter (Kathy); Philip (Michelle); sisters–in-law, Beth (Mi-chael) Broski and Patricia (Matthew) Lanzoni. He was a caring and passionate uncle to Nicholas, Taylor, Rachel, Renee, Alexandra, Anthony, and Angelina. Len also cherished his many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Len had many devoted friends that helped him through the years and he and his family are eter-nally grateful.

Funeral services: 9:15 a.m. Thursday Dec. 30 from the Maurer Funeral Home Moyers Corners and at 10 a.m. in St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. Burial will follow in Riverview Cemetery, Baldwinsville. Calling hours: 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday Dec. 29 at the funeral home, 3541 State Route 31, Baldwinsville. The family requests that in lieu of flowers contribu-tions will be accepted in Leonard’s memory.

Leonard Cifaratta

ObitsClaire and Maggie Monnat both missed on late shot attempts, and Allie Cady’s free throws with 18.8 sec-onds to play settled it.

Maggie had a season-best total of 18 points, much of them in the second half, as Claire settled for eight points, below her season average. Andrea Moore had nine points and Liz Giromini, despite some foul trouble, had six points. Coutroupe finished with 21 points tolead both sides as Cady contributed 16 points.

Now B’ville met Auburn (the team it beat back on Dec. 14) in the consolation game – and it didn’t prove close as the angry Bees shut

down the Maroons 47-23.Auburn managed 12

points in the first quarter – and didn’t even have that much the rest of the game. B’ville’s defensive pressure forced all kinds of turnovers, especially in a third quarter where, with a 20-5 spurt, it put the game away.

Maggie Monnat stayed hot, earning 16 points as Gabi Jordan stepped up for nine points and Moore added five points. B’ville is 4-1 entering the new year as it plays West Genesee (the team it beat in the Dec. 11 finals of the Bill Middleton Tournament) on Wednes-day and visits Utica Proctor on Friday.

B’ville boys finish third at Constantino meet

By Phil [email protected]

Getting in a bit of work during the holiday break, the Baldwinsville boys indoor track and field team claimed third place at last Tuesday’s George Constantino Memorial Invitational at SUNY-Cortland.

The Bees finished with 40 points, just behind Ci-cero-North Syracuse (44 points) in the race for the runner-up spot as Liver-

pool, with 70 points, went to the top.

B’ville won the 4x400 relay as Jon Hingre, Ethan Pacheck, Andrew Hoover and Todd Mitchell put together a time of 3:43.42, enough to hold off Corco-ran (3:45.07) and the rest of the field. Mitchell would help Parker Kiff, Alex Nagy and Rudy Sapp take second in the 4x200 relay in 1:40.25, just be-hind Liverpool (1:40.10) at the wire.

Alec Peinkofer, Nate

Wicks, Joe Morra and Shaun Thompson helped B’ville take third place in the 2,000 sprint medley re-lay in 4:59.92. Thompson, Pacheck, Josh Perez and Andrew Fleming rose to third in the mile relay in a combined 19:25.56.

Hoover and Hingre combined for third place in the 55-meter hurdles in 17.57 seconds. Kiff and Tom McGetrick were fourth in the shot put, their throws adding up to 72 feet 1 ¼ inches.
