Helping in Haiti

By Tami [email protected]

In 2001, St. James Church in Cazenovia was asked to become involved in partnering with a mission church, St. Ives Parish, in the rural village of Thibeau, Haiti. Its response: Yes.

“The first year we raised and sent money but some-thing was tugging at my heart,” said parishioner and retired commercial devel-oper Bob Hood. “I needed to put a face on what was there.”

Since his first visit nine years ago, Hood has re-turned more than 30 times, and mission goals through partnering have been ob-tained tenfold. Tens of thousands of dollars have been raised to provide families with safe drinking

water; a church, rectory and school (St. Joseph’s) have been built; food and supplies are regularly sent to a local orphanage and students are provided with schooling, uniforms and daily meals through annual funding.

Hood’s dedication to serve the needs of the Hai-tian people firsthand has flourished, and an ever-growing coalition called Alliance for Haiti has been established. Numerous in-dividuals and organizations

throughout Central New York are contributors in the charge to better the poverty-stricken area: Ruth Colvin of Literacy Volunteers started a literacy program. Dave El-dridge, a Cazenovia dentist, is developing a viable dental program. Local teachers Georgette Schmidt and Karen Dross have traveled to Thibeau to help with teacher training. Park Central Pres-byterian Church of Syracuse has funded teacher training, a laptop computer and sup-plies for St. Joseph’s School.

Eastern Hills Bible Church in Manlius has made gener-ous donations to expand the safe water program and the Syracuse Century Club held an auction to help fund future building. Most recently, the United Church of Fayetteville has joined the alliance, with goals to raise funds for a playground at St. Joseph’s School.

Former GCACC office manager honored at annual dinner

By Doug [email protected]

The Greater Cazenovia Area Chamber of Commerce presented former GCACC office manager Richard Borsellino with their Award for Service at the annual dinner meeting held Thursday Nov. 4 in the Morgan Room at Caze-novia College.

“Rich put in many, many hours above and

beyond his time card,” said Chamber Chairman Gene Gissin.

Gissin introduced (and roasted) Borsellino.

“Everything we’ve ac-complished and everything we messed up on were his fault,” Gissin joked.

Borsellino took a few shots back in his acceptance speech.

“The three years that I spent at the Chamber were probably the best three years of the past three years,” he said. In all seriousness, he con-tinued, “I enjoyed every minute I spent working

there.”The award is given to an individual who is

“devoted to moving the Chamber forward to fulfill its mission and is dedicated to contrib-uting their time and talents toward achieving Chamber goals,” said Chamber officials.

“Borsellino, a familiar face of the chamber, is the perfect honoree because of his unparal-leled sense of humor, genuine wit and overall enthusiasm for our organization’s prosperity,” said nomination committee members.

The annual dinner also featured a presenta-tion of local history by Barb Bartlett of Lorenzo, and a presentation by Gissin honoring the past 200 years of commerce in Cazenovia.

An end to annual antiques show doesn’t mean an end to ‘Antique Week’

By Jim WalterMadison County Tourism

By now the word is out and many are concerned about the end of the an-nual Madison Bouckville Outdoor Antique Show. Owner Jock Hengst decided to sell his prop-erty after putting on one of the biggest events in Central New York for 39 years. Jock deserves this well-earned retirement; he has been a true champion of tourism in this county. While this marks the end of a well known event and summertime tradition, it by no means ending the annual festival of antiques, which we like to call An-tique Week.

On Aug. 14, 2011 deal-ers will once again begin to set up shop in the fields and in front of the shops along US Route 20. Yes, there will be changes and yes, change can be a scary

Thanks to the hard work by Cazenovia Preservation Foundation volunteers over the last year, all the trails have been revitalized.

Sit on a bench above a massive stone retaining wall while watching the gushing water of Chit-tenango Creek along the South Trail. Cross-country ski along the old grade of the Cazenovia-Canastota Railroad and learn about the trail’s history from new-ly placed interpretive signs along the Gorge Trail. Bird watching has been made easier now at Fairchild Hill with a newly renovated parking area, drier trail entrance and strategically placed signs so you will never get lost.

Still want more nature? Come visit Burlingame

Road Trail with its miles and miles of woods and open fields now made easier for hikers with the help of

new directional signs and repaired trails. In the heart of the village, find a bit of secluded nature at Carpen-ter’s Pond trail showcasing wildlife, waterways and the unique willow patch. Before you head out on your adventure, stop and check out the kiosk for more information about the trail, the rules, but most importantly, to sign

in. Over the last year, CPF trails have had more than 2,700 visitors. Just by tak-ing a minute of your time will help CPF receive grants for trail maintenance and improvements.

In brief

Community NewsCazCares families awarded ‘Favorite Books’

A grant from the Women’s Fund of CNY has enabled Cazenovia Public Library to offer fami-lies enrolled in literacy programs at CazCares Food Pantry a set of 20 classic children’s books for use at home.

Children’s books are the gateway to language acquisition and development. The “Favorite Books” set of beloved and widely known picture books includes “Goodnight, Moon,” “Where the Wild Things Are,” “The Little Engine That Could” and “The Hungry Caterpillar,” among other favorites. By giving families this small library of classic children’s books, the project provides parents with an essential tool for build-ing family literacy and extends the benefits of the Story Room, CazCares’ early literacy program into the home by emphasizing the importance of reading to children.

The Story Room at CazCares mission is to help lay the groundwork for success in school. Preschool learning concepts are emphasized through play, learning activities, and reading to children. To improve cultural literacy in families and help close the learning gap many low-in-come children face when entering kindergarten, the program has developed a list of “Favorite Books,” classics that most children are familiar with before entering kindergarten.

Cazenovia Public Library and CazCares work together to bring library literacy services closer to those who need them. The collaboration provides Read Ahead GED and adult education tutoring at CazCares, as well as the Story Room early literacy program. This combination of services offers free child care support for parents

who receive adult literacy tutoring on-site or at-tend other educational programs at CazCares.

Volunteers are always needed in the Story Room. The only qualification a volunteer needs is to enjoy working with preschool-age chil-dren.

For more information, call Cindy McCall at 391-3557, or Gigi Redmond at CazCares, 655- 3174.

County residents save $338,188 on prescriptions in 2010Savings come from discount prescription card provided by county

Madison County residents have saved $338,188.71 since January 2010 using a pre-scription discount card sponsored by the Madison County Board of Supervisors.

“The savings for residents and growth of the program tells it all,” said John Becker, chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors. “I hope more Madison County residents will sign up for this money saving program.”

ProAct, a division of Kinney Drugs, is a discount program that reduces the cost of prescription drugs for underinsured and uninsured residents. The program was implemented by the Madison County Board of Supervisors in November of 2007. During the first month of the program, eight discount drug cards were used. At the end of the first full year (2008) 3,700 cards had been used and from January 2009 through September, a nine-month period,

3,187 discount cards were used to purchase prescriptions.

According to ProAct’s October 2010 report 4,158 cards have been used to date at an average price savings of $24.85 or a 49 percent savings per claim filed. As the program grows, so do the savings.

There is no cost to the residents or the county for this program. On Nov. 26, 2007, 35,000 discount prescription drug cards were mailed out to the residents of Madison County.

“We continue to mail out discount pre-scription drug cards,” said Public Informa-tion Officer Sharon A. Driscoll.

The prescription drug cards are available in the lobby of the County Office Building in Wampsville for anyone who is in need of a card and did not receive one. If you need a discount prescription card contact Driscoll at 366-2788 with a name and address and a card will be mailed to you.

Madison, Onondaga, Oswego, St. Law-rence and Seneca counties participate in the ProAct discount prescription drug plan. Tompkins and Oneida counties have similar prescription discount plans through other companies.

Sincere thanks from the RSVP Advisory Council, staff and tax counselors to Alliance Bank for supporting the RSVP Tax Counsel-ing program. Each year, IRS trained RSVP Volunteers prepare income tax returns for seniors age 60 and over. The service is completely confidential and free for Madison County residents. Last tax season we were able to help 490 seniors file their income tax returns bring-ing in $189,000 in tax refunds for seniors in Madison County. We are so grateful to Alliance Bank for their generous donation to help fund this important program.

Madison County Conservative Party thanks conservative votersTo the editor:

The Conservative Party of Madison County would like to thank all those people who voted on our ballot line this year. Each election, many, many more people vote on our line than are registered Conser-

vatives in Madison County.We truly appreciate the public’s

support of our candidates. Many things change in politics, but the Madison County Conservative Party pledges that we always have tried, and will continue to try, to only endorse candidates of good personal integrity who we see as being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.

It is our hope that the voters of Madison County will continue to have that faith in us and support the candidates of the Conservative Party for responsible limited government. Thank you, again, to the great citi-zens of this wonderful county!

Thanks to patrons for supporting Cub Scout Pack 54To the editor:

The leaders and scouts of the pack would like to thank all our patrons who attended the dinner making it extremely successful! Our young servant leaders showed good form that night in serving our guests receiving several compliments about their demeanor and smiling

faces with curly mustaches drawn on them. We want to also thank the Federated Church of New Wood-stock for allowing us to use their facilities along with the Brewster Inn in donating a lot of the food. A special shout out to Stephen Franks, a cook at the Inn, for his assistance and advice to insure our success. Also, we were blessed with gourmet cupcakes by Haley Hall who sells baked goods on cnybounty.com.

Funds we raise are going towards uniforms, educational adventures and community service projects that we will keep you abreast on. One of those will be the installation of docks come next spring. The boys will be distributing all the popcorn they sold in the coming weeks also. It’s amazing how much motivation a marshmallow shooter provides.

The lads and dads will be work-ing feverishly on achievements and badges over the winter and prepar-ing for the Pinewood Derby race in the spring. Since our dinner, we’ve had a couple new recruits to Pack 54. There’s room for more! We meet at the Federated Church of New Woodstock at 7 p.m. every second and fourth Monday of the month and plan some outing every third Saturday.

Bridge results

Emerick, Bull earn top overall scoreBy Dave Bull

Penny Emerick and partner, Dave Bull, had the top overall score and won the North/South side at our du-plicate game on Nov. 9 at the library. Jane Fuller and Carl Bjork continued their winning form by taking the East/West side. Alice Angelo and Ellie Ludwig edged Judy Dixon and Elsa Tegner to place second, E/W while Toni and Bob Salisbury beat Barbara and Sam Roller for second, N/S. During the year, we record

all players’ weekly scores so we can award a perpetual trophy to the pair who competed in at least half of our games and had the best score for the year. This trophy is a plaque hung on the door next to the mummy in the reference area. This year Penny Emerick and Dave Bull got off to an early lead but Jane Fuller and Carl Bjork have been coming on like gangbusters and it is now too close to call with just 7 weeks left to play.

The group meets at 1 p.m. Tues-days at the Cazenovia Public Library,

usually in the community room. All games are open to the public, but we ask players to come with their own partners.

We are not a sanctioned Ameri-can Contract Bridge League game by choice, so we don’t give ACBL master points and try to keep it a friendly game.

The skill levels of our players vary considerably.

Dave Bull is volunteer publicist for the Cazenovia Bridge Club.

Writing to a soldier, friendIn the days approaching Veterans Day, I was

reminded many times of those that serve our nation. Whether in the form of a press release announcing Matthew VanLengen’s deployment to either Iraq or Afghanistan; a story about Army Pfc. zachary Finch, after coming home from Iraq, returning to his Alma mater to share his story with Marcellus fourth graders; or meeting a veteran of the Iraq War like John Scanlon, the new Student Re-source Officer at Driver Middle School, in person – the reminders of their sacrifice have been humbling.

But as it turned out, I could have never checked my mail and felt just as humbled; recently one of my good friends, Todd MacIntosh, signed up to begin training for the Marine Reserves. His decision was somewhat last minute, so neither Todd, his friends nor his family had much time to prepare for his departure.

Not soon after he left for South Carolina, his younger sister, Abby, invited me to attend his graduation from boot camp in January – both an indication of his family’s anxiousness and a reminder that we wouldn’t see him again until after Christmas. After boot camp comes 10 days of leave, then combat training and, if all goes as planned, Todd will eventually be stationed in South Africa for further training in tank missile operation.

He will be without phone or internet access for the duration of boot camp, and I was encouraged by his family to write him letters, Abby telling me that upon graduation, many recruits say more than anything else, they wish they’d received more letters – their only con-nection to the ones closest to them.

The only encouragement I needed was his address. I have written him twice since receiving it last Thursday, and hope to hear back from him soon. Stamps are sud-denly once again relevant to me, and I plan to make use of quite a few.

I am sure there are many others out there like Todd who, though fully committed to serving the nation, could really use a letter to read at the end of a grueling day. If you know someone in basic training, or stationed locally or abroad, I encourage you to write them often. Even if you’re not sure what to say, or how to say it, don’t let that stop you. Simply making contact could make a big difference.

proposition. Sometimes change can be good.

Every year I speak with visitors to the show who say they never made it on to the “big” field. They spent the entire time shopping at fields like Quaker Acres, East Expo, Butternut Hill, the Cherry Valley Antique Barn and at Bono’s field. These fields all will be back in 2011. It is incumbent upon us who live

here, and work at promoting the area, to make sure the visitors who come here in 2011 have the best possible show experience. It is also important to make sure that we get out in front and promote this experi-ence. For many years the dealers and promoters rode the coattails of Jock Hengst and the advertising he did for his show. We must now get out and promote the show ourselves, both traditionally and by other means. The impact this show has on

the community cannot be underesti-mated; the show must go on.

Over the next couple of weeks we plan to take the lead in rallying the local antique community and coordinating a marketing effort. We hope they rally behind us and we are looking forward to a strong 2011 antique week.

esee Street, will benefit Haiti through attendees’ free-will offerings.

Hood works closely, too, with iF Foundation, an organization that sup-ports small businesses and agriculture by making micro-loans for start-up costs such as raising animals, farming and making soap and candles.

“We’re trying to create a sustainable, economically sound model for Haitians to take care of themselves as opposed to people sending them money,” said Hood, who frequently brings with him

groups of volunteers. “I can see blos-soming different disciplines, whether it’s a teacher, a dentist, a carpenter or a plumber going [to Haiti], each one has a gift and a sphere of influence to help this community.”

Hood, who just returned from Haiti this week, said he would like to video-tape the progress made over the last 10 years, when his first visit revealed nothing more than a large field.

“Now, there’s a church that holds 550 people, a second-story rectory that can sleep 15 to 20 people [and] has running water [and] lights part-time,”

he said. “We built a 5,000 square-foot community center that can hold 400 to 500 people … we built a dental clinic, St. Joseph School [which] now holds over 300 students [and] has new bath-rooms. We bought land, we’ve drilled wells and now our next project is to build a library.”

For more information on how to become a volunteer or to contribute financially, contact Hood at 447-5726 or by e-mail at [email protected]. You may also contact Georgette Schmidt at [email protected].

Thanksgiving means cinnamon

Cold weather calls for warm spices and one of the warmest spices is cin-namon, found in apple pie, b u n s , m u f -fins and e v e n cho c o -late. It’s the smell of Thanks-giving.

At one time people thought that cinnamon came from the cinnamon bird of Arabia, where Eu-ropeans thought it grew. The giant cinnamon birds gathered cinnamon sticks and built their nests with them. The nests were on treacherous cliffs so the Arabians tricked the cin-namon birds into giving up their precious sticks. The Arabs would leave hunks of meat near the birds’ nests, and when the cinnamon birds took the meat back to their nests, the weight of the meat would break the nests from the cliffs, scatter-ing the precious cinnamon sticks to the ground.

Unfortunately, what is sold as cinnamon in Ameri-ca is often really cassia. True cinnamon is the dried inner bark of Ceylon cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeyl-anicum) that, because it is slow growing, makes a great houseplant.

Congratulations to Shirley Fraden-burg and Ruth Virgo, who wrote in cor-rectly identifying the house on Delphi Road, pictured right, that was featured in this column in the November 3rd edi-tion. They moved into this farm house in the late 30s or early 40s when their parents, Elmer and Eloise Penoyer, pur-chased it from George Thompson, then owner of Thompson Lumber in New Woodstock. Shirley and Ruth remember not having a bathroom in the house for years before their father finally had one put in. “We always took our baths in a metal tub in front of the kitchen stove. We also had an outside toilet, using a catalog for paper. Every day we would fill the wood box going into the kitchen for stove heating.”

In addition to milk cows the farm had rabbits, banty chickens and roost-ers and a pony. Over the years the farm

underwent a lot of modernizing. It was the first in the area to have a pipeline milker, a bulk milk tank, a gutter barn cleaner, and a silo unloader. When Louie Bush eventually purchased the farm he made even more changes, including tak-ing down the cow barn and machinery shed and refurbishing the house and the surrounding landscape to make it look like a show place.

Thank you, Shirley and Ruth for shar-ing your memories of one of Cazenovia’s historic treasures.

History

PaulBarbano

In�the�garden

In history125 Years Ago

November 12, 1885 – The all-absorbing topic just now is a ghost which is claimed to be haunting the upper part of Lincklaen street. A great many claim they have seen it.

Sneak thieves are quite numerous in Cazenovia just now. Tuesday evening some one entered the resi-dence of W.A. Crandall on Nickerson Street and took from the hall rack a new cloak which he had pur-chased for his daughter a few days previous. Mr. C. has a clue and parties who saw the person come off the front steps say they would be able to identify them. A prompt return of the garment may save a term of imprisonment. On the same evening an overcoat belonging to Mr. Weed, was taken from the hall rack at Mr. Henry Davis’. It be-hooves people to keep their front doors locked.

100 Years Ago

November 10, 1910 – A hardwood floor has been laid over the entire Presby-terian chapel in addition to the other improvements.

Mr. Ten Eyck Wendell’s residence was broken into on Monday night and sev-eral trunks in the attic were opened. It is not known just how much was taken.

50 Years AgoNovember 10, 1960 – It

seems too bad we have youngsters and some not so young, that persist in prov-ing the old adage, that one bad apple, spoils the barrel. They only prove by their actions that there are always a few who spoil the fun for the rest. Our town went all out to entertain our young folks. A movie, dance, window painting contest, and everyone stocking up on the goodies for the little ones who came to our doors and said “Tricks or Treats.” Our hats are off to the kids who made their rounds and went home to count the loot. However there were some, as the record shows who did not conduct themselves as they should. The soap which was used to write dirty words would have been much better used to wash out the mouths of those who used it. The re-marks made on sidewalks and windows were not the daubing of little kids.

SchoolsCaz College featured as a ‘Best Value’ in college guidebook2011 U.S. News Ultimate College Guide released

U.S. News & World Report has issued a highly anticipated college guidebook, “U.S. News Ultimate Col-lege Guide 2011,” featuring complete data on more than 1,400 colleges and universities.

Cazenovia College has been named

a best value and is included on the guide’s “Great Deals at Great Schools” list.

To determine which colleges and universities offer the best value, U.S. News & World Report uses a formula that relates an institution’s academic quality, as indicated by its U.S. News ranking, to the average net cost of attendance for students — the higher the quality of the program and the lower the cost, the better the deal.

“According to U.S. News, a Ca-zenovia College education is among the best values in American higher education,” said Dr. Mark J. Tierno, president of Cazenovia College. “We are proud to have been recognized as such in the ‘U.S. News Ultimate Col-lege Guide 2011.’ Students and their families can rest assured that they are making a sound decision when selecting Cazenovia as an educational investment.”

Jessica Williams attends World Equestrian GamesCaz student travels to Kentucky for ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity

Students from Cazenovia Col-lege recently attended the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Ky., an Olympic-type of equestrian com-petition featuring competitors from around the world vying for titles in any of eight disciplines, including show jumping, endurance, dressage, driving, vaulting, reining, eventing and para-dressage.

The students are all members of Cazenovia College’s Equine Ambas-sadors Club, an equine-focused, com-munity service club. Among them was Jessica Williams, of Cazenovia, who is working toward a bachelor of pro-fessional studies degree in manage-ment, specializing in equine business management. Williams is a graduate of McGill Toolen High School in Mobile, Ala.

“The trip to the World Equestrian Games was one of the best experiences of my life,” Williams said. “All the hard work the whole group put in to fund-raising was paid off and we all had an awesome time. My top experiences would definitely be attending the vaulting, jumping and driving events, helping to set up flower arrangements in the jumping arena and being able to meet new people. I had such a great time that I did not want to leave, and even now I want to go back. I will for-ever have fond memories of our trip to the Kentucky Horse Park.”

Jacie Cupertino, a senior equine business management major, said, “The World Equestrian Games brings the best of the best to compete in a world-renowned event, this year bringing the competition to the United States for the first time. This was a series of firsts for this event: it was the first time the games were held outside of Europe, the first time they had an individual sponsor (Alltech Animal Nutrition and Consulting)

and the first time all the disciplines competed in one central location. The 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games were hosted at the Kentucky Horse Park, in Lexington.”

Last year eighteen members of the Equine Ambassadors Club commit-ted to attending the event.

“They spent the year raising money to cover their expenses,” said Carol Buckhout, assistant professor of the College’s Equine Business Manage-ment Program, and adviser to the College’s Equine Ambassador’s Club. “This is a very motivated group and it’s been a pleasure to work with them to help achieve their goal.”

The event had international expos, vendors from around the world and seemingly “endless” networking op-portunities, Cupertino said.

“The club was also afforded many amazing opportunities,” she said. “Several of us were afforded the ex-

perience to be directly involved with the games, helping to construct the grand prix jump courses to be used by renowned international competitors in the individual and final four jump-ing competitions. An incredible gift from Alltech was also bestowed upon us - 33 tickets to various competitions during the weekend.”

The young women, who devoted a year to fundraising, said that the club members were able to achieve their goal because of the support of many generous donors, and the dedication of professors Carol Buckhout, Bar-bara Lindberg and Dr. Karin Bump. Cupertino says,

“The 2010 Alltech World Eques-trian Games proved to be a first for more than just the sport of horseback riding; it was an opportunity for us to become closely involved in a world-renowned event,” Cupertino said.

Route 20 scenic byway 2011 plans unveiled at annual meetingTed Bartlett, of Cazenovia, named one of two new board members

The Route 20 Association of New York State unveiled plans for 2011 during the organization’s recent 10th Annual Meet-ing and Dinner at the Colgate Inn.

“Our plans for 2011 will build on the strong foundation put in place in 2010,” said association President Ellen McHale. She noted that efforts included a new website and a new road map and guide -- both of which created significant vis-ibility for Route 20 this year.

“We are very pleased with the enthu-siasm and travel generated by the Asso-ciation’s work in 2010, especially in these difficult economic times. Our strength comes from businesses and individu-als on the Route 20 Scenic Byway and its neighboring corridor communities joining together to form a more singular voice,” McHale said.

“All of our work in 2011,” McHale said, “will be directed toward creating increased visibility and awareness of Route 20 and all the Scenic Byway has to offer. It bears repeating that our strength is in our membership; the larger the base the greater the strength.”

The membership present approved the adoption of a revised mission state-ment and elected two new members to serve three year terms on the association board of directors.

They are: H. Alan Smith, a Route 20 resident from the town of Pompey

(Onondaga County). He is a retired Episcopalian clergyman and an avid cyclist; and Ted Bartlett from the village of Cazenovia (Madison County). Bartlett is a senior associate and award-winning senior preservation planner for the archi-tecture firm of Crawford and Stearns in Syracuse, and chairman of the Cazenovia Historical Preservation/Architectural Advisory Review Committee.

Concluding the meeting was a presen-tation by Michael Bosak, RA, President of the Landmark Society of Greater Utica. Entitled, “The Importance of Historic Preservation for the Route 20 Scenic Byway Corridor,” his presentation focused on historic preservation and res-toration in Utica. He also emphasized the importance of preserving historic and significant structures as well as vistas and viewscapes along Route 20.

He noted that Route 20 remains the straightest, shortest and most direct

route across New York State even though it has largely been passed by since the opening of the NYS Thruway in 1956. He said the greatest risk comes from historic and significant structures falling into disrepair due to the lack of financial resources and vistas and viewscapes be-ing destroyed by modernization and new development.

He applauded the association for its work in securing Scenic Byway status and working to draw attention to the importance Route 20 played in the west-ward expansion of the country.

The Route 20 Association of NYS is a volunteer and membership organiza-tion serving as stewards of the 108 mile Scenic Byway stretching from Duanes-burg, Schenectady County on the east to LaFayette, Onondaga County, on the west. Additional information is available at nyroute20.com.

2010 initiativesThe Association’s 2011 initiatives include:• Working with NYSDOT for the installation of Scenic Byway signage.• New signage in 2011• Assisting with the inauguration and operation of a soon-to-be-built Tourism

Center on Route 20 in the Town of Cherry Valley.• Adding to and enhancing the existing 16 scenic tours off Route 20 depicted

on the map and guide.• Adding races to the Road Challenge Series.• Strengthening relationships with the counties, towns and villages through

which the Byway passes.• Reaching out to stakeholder groups such as family and senior travelers,

cycling enthusiasts, history buffs, antiquers, cars clubs, and similar groups.• Further enhancing the Route 20 website and printing a newly formatted

2011 Scenic Byway Guide and Road Map. • Communicating Association initiatives and progress through the creation of

a speakers bureau, regular newsletters and press releases and more frequent digital communications, including social media outlets.

Cazenovia Presbyterian Church news

Duggan, Lynn to present holiday concertAward-winning musi-

cians Dan Duggan and Peggy Lynn will perform a holiday concert at 2 p.m. Saturday Dec. 11 at the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia, 27 Albany St. The two are celebrating the release of “Be the Light,” their new CD celebrating the Christmas season.

Duggan is known na-tionally for his wizardry on hammered dulcimer and flat-picking guitar, and is the recipient of the National Hammered Dul-cimer Championship. He has recorded five albums of original compositions: “First Frost,” “Last of May,” “Seasons of Change,” “Tril-lium Lane” and “Once in a Blue Moon” as well as three albums of traditional holiday music “Christmas Morn,” “Winters Eve,” and “All Through The Night.” Duggan’s family album, “The Pieces of Our Life,” original songs written with children, received a 1998 Parents Choice Approval Award. His dulcimer work can also be heard on Paul Simon’s Grammy nominat-ed album “You’re The One” released in October of 2000 and the Paul Simon collec-tion released in 2002.

Duggan and Lynn have recently released “A Stitch in Time,” songs celebrating the art and heritage of quilt-ing, “Grandsongs,” songs for generations to sing to-gether and a holiday album, “Keeping Christmas,” tradi-tional and original seasonal songs and tunes featuring hammered dulcimer, gui-tar, piano and concertina.

Peggy Lynn has made four recordings of original songs, a recording with Dan Berggren of songs inspired by the Adiron-dack mountains and two trio albums with Berggren and Duggan: “10 Miles to Saturday Night” and “Jam-crackers.” Peggy has also had great success with her family recordings of songs about nature, “BioSongs” and “Close to the Sun”. In 2004 Peggy co-authored the highly acclaimed book “Breaking Trail: Remark-able Women of the Ad-irondacks.” She has been honored by the Business and Professional Women’s Association as “Woman of the Year” and by the Girl Scouts as a “Woman of Distinction.” Best loved for her songs highlighting women’s accomplishments, Peggy’s song “Mary Brown,

Abolitionist” was used as the cover piece on “Songs for Peace Magazine.” Peggy is the mother of two daugh-ters.

The two combine origi-nal and traditional sea-sonal songs and tunes with masterful harmonies and soulful arrangements. Their concerts have delighted audiences from Maine to California. Come and cel-ebrate with Dan and Peggy the magic of this wonderful season and the release of their new album “Be the Light.” This will be a holi-day concert you will long remember. The Cazenovia Rotary Club will host a reception at the church’s meetinghouse immediately following the concert. A freewill offering will be taken at the door. For more information contact 655-3191.

CNY Bounty makes more than 10,000 home deliveries Revenue reaches $500,000, with $364,000 direct return to local farmers

CNY Bounty recently

reached an impressive mile-stone.

“CNY Bounty is proud to announce that its inno-vative, home-delivery, local food program has made over 10,000 home deliver-ies,” said Steven Holzbaur, CNY Bounty Program Co-ordinator.

The deliveries have oc-curred in Chenango, Madi-son, Broome and now On-ondaga Counties.

“This is tremendous news not only for our cus-tomers that are receiving locally produced, farm fresh products but for our local small farmers and producers as well,” Holzbaur said. “Revenue for the program is fast ap-proaching the $500,000 mark with $364,000 going directly back to the local farmers that participate in the program.”

This is encouraging news for the small farmer that is providing fresh, organically produced foods and who has many chal-lenges competing with large agribusiness and supermarket pricing.

“CNY Bounty is providing a unique and essential component of a local sustainable food system through the direct connection of consumers and producers,” said Adam Perrin, owner of Quarry Brook farms in Sherburne. “When you order from CNY Bounty you get the healthiest food and you help keep local farmers and producers in business”.

Quarry Brook Farms offers certified naturally grown, grass-fed beef, lamb, pork, chicken, eggs along with pesticide-free produce on the CNY Bounty website.

This is equally exciting news for the supportive customers of the Bounty. “I have been ordering for close to a year from the Bounty,” said Cary LaManche of

Liverpool. “The consistent freshness and quality of the meats, vegetables and bakery items I order each week can’t be beat. I also feel like I’m contributing to the health of our local farming community. All this and to have the items delivered each week is a tremendous help for someone with a busy schedule.”

CNY Bounty is a year-round online farmers’ market that supports over 110 local small and mid-sized farmers and producers. The Bounty creates new markets for locally produced foods, thereby strengthening the local economy and providing healthy food to all citizens of Central New York in an environmentally responsible way. Over 900 lo-cally produced products including grass-fed, hormone–free meats; organic dairy products and farm fresh produce are listed on the website: CNYBounty.com. CNY Bounty offers free membership and free home delivery to customers in Chenango and Madison counties with drop site deliveries to Broome and to northern, eastern and southern Onon-daga County.

Each week, Bounty staff coordinates weekly product availability with farmers and producers and upload the products, prices, photos and descriptions on the website. Each farmer/producer decides on its own price, and Bounty staff operates on a 23-percent margin to cover overhead costs of marketing and distribution. Customers can go online at cnybounty.com before Monday at noon to place an order. Orders are collected from the farms on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning by Bounty staff, taken to the distribution center, orders are packaged and then distributed.

CNY Bounty is made possible by Cornell Cooperative extension of Chenango, Madison and Onondaga Coun-ties, the CNY Resource Conservation and Develop-ment, Chenango County Economic Development Fund, Chenango Agriculture Development Council, Madison County Agricultural Economic Development Program, Chenango and Madison Counties, Greater Norwich Foun-dation, Gorman Foundation, CNY Community Founda-tion, New York Farm Viability Institute, Assemblyman Al Stirpe, Gifford Foundation, Rural Health Service Corps and AmeriCorps.

Caz field hockey advances to state final fourBy Phil Blackwell

A single burst by Abby Eschen - and suddenly, years of frustration for the Cazenovia field hockey team in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association playoffs began to melt away.

Eschen’s three-goal hat trick, two of them scored less than a minute apart in the first half, made the difference as the Lakers beat Section IV cham-pion Whitney Point, 3-1, in Tuesday Nov. 11’s Class C regional game at Greene High School.

And four days later, the

Lakers, by rallying to beat Greenwich 2-1 at Shenen-dehowa High School in Clifton Park, earned a trip to the state final four, to be played this weekend at Cicero-North Syracuse’s Bragman Stadium.

Even though it’s the fifth straight time Cazenovia had reached the regional

playoffs as a Section III champion (two in Class B, three in Class C), it had never made it out of the regional phase before.

Usually, it involved a Section IV power like Mar-athon standing in the way. But Marathon was gone, beaten by Whitney Point in the sectional final, and

instead it was the young Eagles going up against the experienced - and hungry - Lakers.

Forcing the tempo early, Cazenovia made a series of runs at Whitney Point, seeking a breakthrough. Midway through the first half, it arrived in a big way.

Eschen found herself

open and put a shot into the net, giving Cazenovia a 1-0 lead. Before the Eagles could even settle down, the Lakers attacked again - and Eschen converted again, the two goals accounting for the Lakers’ ultimate win-ning margin.

Amanda Collins’ goal for Whitney Point helped the Eagles pull within 2-1 at halftime, forcing Cazenovia to spend the second half protecting that lead.

Defenders Ellen Burr, Raeanne Clabeaux, Sar-ahRose Gabor and Molly Hudson were tested, but they mostly held up, and Emily Mastropaolo came up with nine saves and a shutout in those last 30 minutes.

As if that were not enough, Eschen returned to notch her third goal and complete the hat trick. Jil-lian Vogl added an assist as Whitney Point paid a dear price for giving too much defensive attention to the likes of Tori Widrick and Belle Hoagland.

Now all that was left was to win that regional final – but that meant a trip to the Albany suburbs to face Greenwich, the newly-crowned Section II champions.

This game would prove even more dramatic than Whitney Point, not settled until Belle Hoagland con-verted a penalty stroke with just less than two minutes left in regulation.

That it even got to that point was a tribute to Greenwich’s freshman goalie, Samantha White-house. All Whitehouse did in the first half, in the face of relentless Cazenovia pres-sure, was stop all 10 of the shots she faced.

Rarely did the Witches get the ball out of its own end. But late in the first half, Greenwich’s Dani Di-Gregory, who had 48 goals on the season, attacked hard and, when her shot hit a Cazenovia defender in the chest, DiGregory earned a penalty stroke.

DiGregory’s high shot beat Mastropaolo with 25 seconds to go in the half, and just like that Cazenovia was behind, 1-0, the first time in the entire post-sea-son that it had trailed.

All that did was increase

Lakers beaten by Chenango Valley in regionals

Sports

By Phil Blackwell [email protected]

For the third time in five years, the Cazenovia football team ventured into the state Class B playoffs. And just like the previous two times, a team from Chenango, in the Southern Tier, snuffed out the Lakers’ dreams of a state championship.

But unlike 2006 and 2007, when Chenango Forks knocked out the Lakers, this time it was Chenango Valley in the role of villain as it beat Cazenovia 27-14 Saturday night at East Syracuse-Minoa Stadium.

Despite the defeat, head coach Tom Neidl said he was pleased with how his team came back from last season’s disappointment (a loss to General Brown in the sectional Class C finals) and got both league and sectional cham-pionships this time.

“I’m tremendously proud of these kids,” he said. “They worked together since last year’s finals to get to this point and beat some very good football teams along

the way.”Chenango Valley proved too

good, though. The Warriors scored on the game’s opening drive and never trailed, using a deft mix of misdirection runs and play-action passes on long drives that ate up large chunks of the clock. And CV’s defense stood up to make big plays any time Cazenovia tried to catch up.

Through much of the first quarter, and well into the second period, Jeff Hopsicker and the rest of Cazenovia’s offense could only serve as spectators, watch-ing as the Warriors bolted out to a 14-0 lead with a pair of effective drives.

Following a fine kick return by Adam Greene, CV took the opening kickoff from its own 43 and, with a series of runs, moved to the Lakers’ 30-yard line. On a key fourth-down conversion, Warrior quarterback Kevin Cox threw deep down the middle and hit zack Collins at the three-yard line, and three plays later Adam Greene scored on a one-yard plunge.

Though CV missed the extra point, it still cost the Lakers dearly as senior captain Liam Ryan, a standout on both the of-fensive and defensive lines, left with a knee injury and would not return.

On the Warriors’ next posses-sion, it went 80 yards in seven-plus minutes, again converting a fourth down in the middle of the march and again using a pass (Cox going 24 yards to Conor Mahoney) to set up a short TD plunge, this time by Cox. For good measure, Cox hit Collins on a two=point pass.

Trailing 14-0, Cazenovia need-ed to get something - and did when Hopsicker’s 35-yard run keyed a 65-yard drive, conducted in Cazenovia’s newly-sprung no-huddle offense. Hopsicker hit Jose Wells on a five-yard scoring pass and, with Nick Christakos’ PAT, cut the deficit to 14-7.

But Cox continued to test - and beat - the Lakers secondary, his 40-yard pass to Mahoney setting up, arguably, the game’s best play. On third down at the Lakers’ 26,

Cazenovia sent an all-out blitz at Cox - but he threw over it to fullback Josh Kilts, who ran un-touched to the end zone, the PAT extending the margin to 21-7, where it stood at halftime.

Despite Hopsicker’s pair of interceptions (both by Justin Gaudinier), Cazenovia appeared to jump right back in it when a high punt snap, over the head of CV’s Eric Silvanic, led to a recov-ery at the Warriors’ 10-yard line late in the third quarter.

Hopsicker, the game’s MVP on the Lakers’ side, scored on an eight-yard bootleg that, with the Christakos PAT, cut the deficit back to single touchdown, 21-14.

CV kept its poise, though, and early in the fourth quarter took the ball on its own 15 and started grinding its way down the field once more, eating up nearly eight minutes of clock. Except for an-other big pass play (28 yards from Cox to Greene), the Warriors kept to the ground until it reached the Lakers’ 16.

Then, with 3:56 left and facing

third down, Cox gambled with a throw to the left. Chris Schaffner had Mahoney well-covered, but Mahoney still made a terrific catch in the end zone, putting CV ahead by a pair of scores again. Cox finished nine-for-12 through the air for 178 yards, while Ma-honey caught six of those passes for 103 yards.

Frantically, Hopsicker drove his team once more, reaching the Warriors’ 10 before taking back-to-back sacks that led to CV taking over on downs and run-ning out the clock on Cazenovia’s magical season.

As Chenango Valley advanced to play defending state champion Hornell in the state semifinals in Rochester, Cazenovia contem-plated the end of a 10-1 season and the fact that Hopsicker, Ryan, Wells, Schaffner, Noah Shephard, Ben Romagnoli, Dan Majewski, Tom Toole, Forest Blanchard, Travis Mimms, Ben Spangler and Xavier Coates will depart - one of the best senior classes in the Laker program’s rich history.

XC girls place third in New YorkBy Kurt Wheeler

The Cazenovia girls cross country team put the icing on the best season in school history with an impressive third place fin-ish among the top teams in New York at the State Championship Meet in Pawling on November 13. The harriers (119 points) out-performed their pre-race ranking, with only perennial champion East Aurora (25) and legendary Pearl River (50) finishing ahead of them.

Cazenovia’s formula for suc-cess throughout the season; grit, depth and consistency, once again served them well at the state meet. The Lakers stayed calm and ran their race despite the exception-ally fast start of the ultra-com-petitive meet, working their way steadily to the front throughout the race. Taking advantage of their tough training on Cazenovia’s hilly terrain, the Lakers surged forward on the infamously steep climb in the middle of the Pawl-ing course. By the third mile, the harriers had fought their way into third place position despite the narrow, twisting trails. Rae Tobey (33rd overall in 20:39) and Hollie Marcelle (38th in 20:47) led the team as they have all fall with Jeannette Cudney also run-ning one of her best races of the season to capture 46th in 20:59. The trio achieved their pre-race goals, breaking up the front-run-ners from rivals Elmira Free of Section IV and Broadalbin-Perth of Section II. Their strength in Section III was also evident as they finished second, fourth and

fifth among all the runners from Central New York in the race. Michelle Karker ran her best race of the season to capture 57th in 21:15, well ahead of her rival run-ners, and Malone Gabor locked in the third place finish with a 78th place, 22:00 effort. Margaret Wolsey (82nd, 22:05) and Alex Dolbear (90th, 22:27) also ran

well for the Lakers in the biggest race of their careers.

The race capped a break-through season for the Cazenovia program as they earned their first Onondaga High School League and Section III titles in school his-tory. The girls’ third place honors are the highest Cazenovia finish in state tournament play since a

pair of number two finishes by girls soccer in the late 1980’s. De-spite a ten-year streak of winning records and numerous runner-up seasons, the cross country Lak-ers’ championship hopes were thwarted in past campaigns by powerhouse programs in their division such as Skaneateles, Westhill and Marcellus. The 2010

Lakers combined talent, depth and determination to overcome those traditional rivals. On the heels of the Lakers’ first Section III track title in over 20 years last spring, the harriers’ epic season adds momentum to a resurgent running program in Cazenovia.

Kurt Wheeler is the coach of the girls cross country team.

Silent Auction held at Boxing Hall of Fame

County Sports

The International Boxing Hall of Fame is conducting a Fall Silent Auction fund-raiser. This auction, which began on Nov. 1, will close at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 21.

Fifty unique items are available. Collectibles from such boxing stars as Oscar De La Hoya, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Roy Jones Jr., Felix Trinidad, Lennox Lewis, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Shane Mosley, Freddie Roach, Kelly Pavlik, Yuriorkis Gam-boa and Micky Ward are up for auction.

Also, items from celebrities from other fields such as musician / actor Kris Kristofferson, actor / host Mario Lopez, actor Tony Sirico (The Sopranos) and stars of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) are available. All items can be viewed at the Hall of Fame’s official website, ibhof.com.

After viewing the items, those interested in bidding on an item can do so by calling the Hall of Fame at 697-

7095. This is a “one bid” contest, which means bidders can

only bid once on an item and no one will have the oppor-tunity to increase their bid. The Hall of Fame will notify the top bidder after the auction has concluded and the item(s) will be shipped to the winner.

“As a not-for-profit organization, it is extremely im-portant for the Hall of Fame to hold various fund-raisers to raise the necessary monies to maintain our mission to honor and preserve the history of the great sport of box-ing,” said Hall director Edward Brophy.

“We’re very appreciative of the boxing community sup-porting the Hall. This auction fund-raiser is a unique way for fans to throw their best punch in hopes of scoring a knockout and winning a great prize.”

Cazenovia’s determination, and it in-creased the pressure even more early in the second half, only to see seven different penalty-corner attempts come up empty.

Finally, on the eighth try with 11:19 to go, EmmaJean Spear’s pass found Widrick, who crushed a shot past Whitehouse to tie it at 1-1. It was Widrick’s 30th goal of the season.

Greenwich had one great chance to regain the lead late in regulation, only to see DiGregory’s shot careen off the post. Saved by the close call, the Lakers resume its all-out assault as the final minutes ticked away.

It all got de-c i d e d w h e n , amid the Lak-ers’ 16th pen-alty corner of the match with 1:40 left, White-house, who had 18 saves on the day, trapped a shot in her pads instead of kick-

ing it away. That meant a penalty stroke for Hoagland, whose touch shot eluded a diving Whitehouse and found the cage.

From there, the Lakers held on – and earned its ticket to the state semifinals. On Friday, Cazenovia fac-es Section I champion Briarcliff (who ripped Rhinebeck 7-0 in its regional final) at 11:30 a.m. at Bragman Sta-dium. The winner goes to Saturday’s final, which is set for 10 a.m.

A young combat veteran returns home from a tour in the desert, and what is his primary concern?

The family, job and re-sponsibilities he left behind here in the states take top priority, said Lauren Love,

program manager of the OEF-OIF program at the Syracuse Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

“When they get home their focus is, ‘I want to re-integrate with my family,’” Love said.

But a resource aimed en-tirely at easing the readjust-ment period for returning

combat vets is one that only about 30 percent of them take advantage of: the OEF-OIF program.

Not your grandfather’s VAThere’s a litany of chal-

lenges returning combat vets face when they come home, including health care, em-ployment, marital and rela-

tionship problems, education and even housing issues.

While the VA provides health care, the OEF-OIF program acts as a hub through which vets can get in touch with resources in the com-munity for any other issues they’re faced with, Love said.

namon tree plants at mail-order specialty nurseries such as Logee’s greenhouse (lo-gee.com). You can also start the trees form seeds form suppliers such as Trade Winds Fruit (tradewindsfruit.com).

Grow it in an acidic potting soil in full or partial sun. You can use a potting mix of half perlite or peat moss and half regu-lar potting soil. A south-facing window is good, or you can help it along with grow lights.

Since this is a tropical plant, keep the temperature above 60 degrees F. While they prefer humidity above 50-percent, they seem to do fine at lower levels. You can mist the plants every few days or set the pots on trays of pebbles with a little water in the trays. For best drainage use clay pots.

Let the soil dry out slightly between wa-terings. When you water your Ceylon cin-namon tree, be sure the soil is thoroughly

soaked, so that some water comes out of the bottom of the pot.

Feed the tree with a mild organic fer-tilizer during its peak growing season of spring and early summer.

The young leaves are a rich bronze red color. In spring and summer, the Ceylon cinnamon tree will send up shoots of white flowers, followed by small purple fruit.

When your Ceylon cinnamon tree matures, you can harvest a few stems and scrape the bark off. The bark will curl into cinnamon sticks.

Use these fragrant cinnamon bark curls not just for cooking but also for a soothing healthy herbal tea. Cinnamon tea reduces blood sugar and to calm nerves.

For baked goods or just a warm winter chocolate, nothing beats true cinnamon that you actually grow in your windowsill. No giant birds needed.

screen them for their needs, then refer them to the ap-propriate people,” she said. “My team helps to connect them with those resources in the community or within the VA.”

All it requires, she said, is for a returning combat veter-an to make an initial appoint-ment with the VA to have that evaluation completed.

Michael Van Zummeren, business office manager at the Syracuse VA, said one of the stereotypes today’s VA is charged with challenging is the misconception that after that first appointment, a vet-eran drops off the VA’s radar.

“That’s something we hear often: ‘OK, I come in and get my appointment and I’m done,’” Van Zummeren said.

Not quite. Love emphasized the case

management style of the OEF-OIF program, which follows up with patients throughout their period of readjustment – however long that may be.

For some, she said, it’s a couple of weeks or months, for others it could be years. But the VA is there for them, as long as they make the first step.

A network of supportIn spite of the benefits

available to returning combat veterans, like five years of free health care for combat-related injuries and illnesses, getting them in the door is still a challenge.

“As we know, many com-ing out of the military are reluctant to seek both medi-cal care or behavioral health care for any of their related symptoms,” Love said.

Though health care is a hot topic these days, it will move down the priority list for many veterans who have a list of other pressing issues to deal with, like finding a job.

“So when we go to guard and reserve units, often times we’re doing work with the families to educate them on what this may be and how to access resources,” Love said.

Symptoms of an injury or illness, like post traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury, can go unde-tected during the first few hectic weeks or months back home. So it’s important for family members to be aware of the resources available to returning vets in case those symptoms to present them-selves.

“It may be a spouse or significant other, or a parent, who calls and says, ‘I need to get some help for my son who’s just come back… what do you have?’” Love said.

As always, the first step is for the veteran to visit the VA and become enrolled in the program, if eligible, and get evaluated.

Spread the wordBill Hoffman, outreach

coordinator at Syracuse VA Medical Center, understands why returning combat vet-

erans don’t make the VA their first stop once they’re stateside: it wasn’t until he became employed at VA that he realized what benefits were available to him.

“I separated in 1990 and did not even consider or think of VA for years and years and years,” Hoffman said.”I went four years without health care, and all I had to do was go and sign up and enroll.”

Hoffman wasn’t faced with an injury or illness dur-ing those four years – but many others are not so lucky.

“Almost every week we’re dealing with a veteran here who did not enroll, some-thing happened and they landed in a private hospital,” Hoffman said. “Then we get them enrolled, but we can’t go back in time and undo what’s already been done.”

“It’s never too late,” Love said.

The VA offers the benefits that veterans have already earned by serving – all a re-turning combat vet has to do now is enroll.

The Central New York area offers many resources to returning veterans, including a free monthly legal clinic, housing options for home-less veterans, transportation services and vocational reha-bilitation services.

Sports

For college hoops, a few tipsSome folks really don’t like the “woulda, coulda,

shoulda” game. But it’s impossible to look back on the most recent college basketball season, especially the wondrous 2010 NCAA Tourna-ment (which had enough story-lines to fill three novels), and not ponder the full stream of what-ifs.

Like, what if Northern Iowa’s Ali Farokkmanesh hadn’t taken, or made, that audacious 3-pointer that helped sink Kansas? Or what if Syracuse’s Arinze Onuaku, or Michigan State’s Kalin Lucas, or Purdue’s Robbie Hummel, had not been sidelined by injuries?

And most of all, what if Gordon Hayward’s heave near halfcourt, at the end of the championship game between Butler and Duke, gone through the net, instead of off the rim?

Safe to say, Hayward would become immortal, Bobby Plump times 100. All the other memorable buzzer-beat-ers in the history of the Dance (yes, even Christian Laettner) would have faded into background. And the great Mike Krzyzewski would have taken a historic flog-ging for having Brian Zoubek intentionally miss the free throw that led to the memorable final sequence.

So much history turned on those couple of inches that separated the rim from the net. It’s difficult to imag-ine that 2010-11 will end up as exciting – after all, there isn’t any highly regarded mid-major based anywhere near Houston, site of this year’s Final Four.

Oh, but there’s still a whole lot of tasty storylines to ponder in the four-plus months ahead.

We start where we ended last year, the Dookies on top. This time, though, the Blue Devils are a clear favor-ite, returning Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith and adding a point guard, Kyrie Irving, which Coach K is Bobby Hurley-wild about. And that means we’ll hear about him, a lot.
