Young, Smart coached lacrosse 50-plus years at J-E

By Ned Campbell

More than 50 years of coaching lacrosse at Jordan-Elbridge were swept aside with two votes at the March 16 school board meeting.

The board voted 3-4 on the appointment of Mike Smart as J-V coach, and 3-3, with board member Brian Richardson abstaining, on the appointment of Rick Young as varsity coach — as a result, neither will coach this spring.

The first official practice of the season was last Tuesday; the first game is April 1. Interim Superintendent Larry Zacher gave the coaches

permission to coach their teams just hours be-fore, while their appointment awaited the school board’s delayed vote.

“The players didn’t know they had coaches until two hours before the season started,” said Rick Young over the phone following the meet-ing. “And now, with Facebook and everything

Jordan voters elect two new trustees

By Ned Campbell

Village of Jordan voters elected two new trustees Tues-day March 15. Cindy Milton, with 53 votes, was elected to the four-year term held for the past 20 years by Patrick Mooney, who decided not to run this year.

“He was a good trustee,” said village of Jordan clerk Linda Boehm. “He served a lot of years.”

Catherine Ferris fills the two-year term left open by former trustee Mary Seeley, who resigned to move to North Carolina. Fer-ris received 52 votes.

Milton was appointed to the board in Octo-ber after Seeley stepped down. Milton, a gradu-ate of Jordan-Elbridge High School, married

Marcellus Schools scores high on annual reportSuperintendent looks to keep district’s performance up through budget crisis

By Ned [email protected]

School district report cards were recently released for primary schools across New York State. The evaluations covered each school in the district, rating their performance and examina-tion scores for math, science, English-language arts as well as information on enrollment and attendance.

Marcellus Central School District students

scored well this past year; 159 teachers in-structed 1988 pupils among the three facilities. Enrollment in each school has been slowly declining, but the students have consistently posted strong scores. Superintendent Craig Tice says compared to enrollment patterns at other school districts, Marcellus is in good shape.

“For many districts, they’ve seen a sharper decline … we’re pretty fortunate,” Tice said. “So far Marcellus is still a desirable community [to

live in].”Total enrollment across the district decreased

from 2,070 in 2007-08 to 2,028 in 2008-09. En-rollment further decreased to 1,988 in 2009-10. The district eliminated 18 full-time positions over the past two years to adjust to declining enrollment.

Marcellus graduates a high percentage of its students. Its graduation rate in 2008-09 was 97

St. Joseph’s Church to host benefit for Rita Kimak

By Rena Brower

Two years ago, Rita Ki-mak of Syracuse was a healthy and active young woman. She and her hus-band Andy both held ful-filling jobs. They had just joined St. Joseph’s Church in Camillus, where Rita still volunteers as coordinator for the third grade religious education program.

Then, Rita started to experience troubling physi-cal symptoms. She devel-oped severe headaches, and chronic pain in her back, arms and legs. Medications did little to alleviate the pain, which was becom-ing stronger and almost unbearable. The cause of her symptoms remained unidentified for months.

Rita was diagnosed with both Ehlers-Danlos syn-drome, a genetic disorder affecting the body’s connec-tive tissue, and syringomy-elia, a progressive disorder of the spinal cord. Syrin-gomyelia develops when cerebrospinal fluid enters the spinal cord, forming and filling a cavity called a syrinx. As fluid continues to collect, the nerve fibers in the spinal cord are dam-aged, resulting in muscle weakness, joint stiffness, decreased mobility and even paralysis. Chronic back pain is common, as is the inability to feel pain and temperature in the arms and hands. While neither condition is curable, syrin-gomyelia can sometimes be treated surgically.

Rita has suffered from many of these symptoms for the past year or so. She hopes to escape the more frightening and debilitating

ones, but is not yet con-sidered a safe candidate for surgery. Her ongoing treatment by Dr. E. Fran-çois Aldrich, a neurosur-geon at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, offers some hope, but no guarantees. Rita will continue to be monitored by physicians at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. If the syrinx grows larger, Dr. Aldrich will operate in an attempt to give Rita some relief.

Thanks to an under-standing employer, Rita is still able to work. Her hus-band, however, lost his job in December. Although this has freed Andy to accom-pany Rita to her medical appointments and provide her with the increasing care she requires at home, the strain on the family’s finances is nearing the breaking point. Andy has since found new employ-ment, but the family needs help meeting their medical and travel expenses.

On Friday April 1 from 6 to 9:30 p.m., a Bingo Benefit

for Rita Kimak will be held in the St. Joseph’s Church Parish Center in Camil-lus. Director of Religious Education Kristen O’Hara, grade level coordinators, teachers and other church staff are hosting the event to help ease the Kimaks’ financial burden.

Admission is free, and families are encouraged to attend. A pack of 15 bingo game cards will be sold at the door for $10 (cash or check), with additional cards available for $1 each. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the first game begins at 7 p.m.

There will be prizes for both children and adults. In addition to bingo prizes, there will be a raffle for several theme baskets. A Lent-friendly (meatless) concession stand will be stocked with delicious food and goodies.

St. Joseph’s Church is located at 5600 West Gen-esee St., Camillus. For more information, or to find out how you can assist with the benefit, call Kristen O’Hara at 488-8490.

Miss Nancy Lee Vile, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Vile of Rose Hill became the bride of Earl J. Thorpe, son of Mr. Carl Thorpe and the late Mrs. Beatrice Thorpe of Marcellus in the St. Francis Xavier Church. Miss Monica Vile was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Miss Joan Olmst-ed and Miss Betty Lou Larkin. Miss Dorees Vile was the flower girl. Carl Thorpe, Jr. was the best man. Ush-ers were David Thorpe and David Kershaw. Raymond Cook was the ring bearer.

The long awaited clash between Marcellus and Baldwinsville, co-champions of the AB Division in regular season play came off at the North Syracuse court. In a low-scoring first half, the Mustangs were stalled by a zone defense used by the B’Ville Bees and led at half-time 17-16. The Mustangs showed their class as they scored 44 points in the second half and used the zone on B’Ville to romp to a 61 - 38 vic-tory. B’Ville was able to score only 3 points in the third period while the Mustangs garnered 20. Tom Mullen led the Mustangs with 19 points. John Parry and Dave Driver had 16 and 11 respectively. The Marcellus Mustangs were eliminated in the first round of the Section 3 Tour-nament in a startling upset by the Jamesville-DeWitt Red Rams in an overtime battle 66-64. The Mus-tangs, County Champs and Class A finalists last year, were beaten at the foul line as J-D dropped 24 shots while the Mustangs only had 10. The game was played on the West Genesee court. Five Mustangs had double figures, led by John Parry

with 16, Tom Mullen 13, Dave Driver 11, Tim Tay-lor 11 and Gerry Hunt with 11.

Follow your own path today… the one that

responds to your needs. Also ac-cept the different roads others may choose to follow.

“Memories of Marcellus” by Frank Griffing went as follows… When I was a young boy, farmers grew tobacco in Onondaga County. It was a good cash crop. Of course, in some years, it was better than others. Tobacco was a nice crop to work in. The plants were grown in beds like cabbage plants and were set the same. In my younger days, they were set by hand with a wooden peg. As the crop grew, it had to be cultivated and hoed. When the crop was ready to harvest, a man would cut each plant with tobacco shears and then others would gather and string on four foot lath which with a sharp spud placed on the end of the lath, they would hang the tobacco on a rack on the wagon and draw it to the barn and hang it on poles from the roof. It was left there to dry out and when it was ready to be sold, it was taken down and delivered to the man that bought it. Sometimes a hail storm would damage the leaves and then the crop would not bring as much money. Nate Shepard had a tobacco sorting house over on Howlett Hill Road. Shepard bought lots of tobacco and had several men sorting and packing for shipping. There were lots of tobacco raised over around B’Ville. I don’t think there is any grown there now. The last man that I knew of around here was Will Schneider over in Shepard

Settlement.The MCS County Champion-

ship Basketball team was honored at a testimonial dinner on April 5. Sponsoring the event were members of three Marcellus service groups, the Citizens Club, the Optimists Club and the Rotary Club. The din-ner was open to the public and held in the school cafeteria. The affair was to honor the boys for having brought the first county champion-ship in basketball to Marcellus. The program featured a speaker out-standing in the field of sports. Gen-eral chairman for the affair was Mr. Robert Sheridan. Parents, friends and supporters were urged to make their reservations early for the event to honor the team.

Winning the Optimist Bantam League Bowling Title were Louanne Kilcoyne, Margie Reddick, Ellen Macholl, Nancy Stevens, Cindy Groeling and Sheila Clark. Cindy Groeling had the high single game of 165 and Sheila Clark had the high average of 107 in the league.

The Marcellus Historical Society was asking the community if anyone had any pictures, news items or mementos about the Marcellus Civil War soldiers. They were also asking for information on the Powder Mill at Marcellus Falls. They wanted more info on what took place in Marcellus during the Civil War years. They wanted the info to use in the Marcellus Observer for the observance of the Civil War Centen-nial.

Strive to maintain perspective on problems that arise. You will then be able to act on them more effec-tively. Do not allow little irritations to consume your thoughts.

Our narrow, tree-lined camp road is still slumber-ing under its winter blanket, waiting for a string of warm days to melt the still pristine snow. The cottage at its end, hard by the lake, also waits, home, perhaps to small critters who sought shelter against the season’s precipitation and frigid temperatures. The lake, never alone, speaks only in its almost springtime voice, accented by calls of returning wildlife.

The winter has been long, cold and dispiriting, sometimes so much so that even thoughts of summer moments were impossible. Will it ever be warm again? Will we ever be able to find solace in the feel of sun on our backs as we dig our hands in the soil, luxuriating in the smell of the born again earth? Can we conjure planting and caring for our gardens, of eating from the table of local bounty? Can we recall what a tomato from the garden smells like,

tastes like? It did seem a stretch with more than 15 inches of snow falling in less than a day.

But, as ever, spring is coming,

if only in small pieces, geese fly-ing north, a day of sunlight here, warmer temperatures there and wa-ter in the basement from a mountain of melting snow. Lawns and garden beds will reappear with the detritus of winter demanding attention. A new kind of “to do” list will appear and the dirt tracked in will change to grass clippings and garden soil.

I am beginning to dream of the summer to come, my family, my children and grandchildren shar-ing the joy of togetherness in our rustic retreat. Friends gathering for no particular reason save perhaps a casual meal, a libation and time spent in the quiet summer evenings. “Drop by anytime,” I invite them to share. As I dream, I am trying to

remember the sounds of summer, the soft splash of water against the shoreline, the screams and laughter of children, ice in glasses, the whirr of the fans in summer bedrooms, spring peepers, crickets, cicadas in the trees and birds calling to their young to fly with them. No TV, no central air or any air conditioning for that matter.

We are people who go to the lake because it is simpler, because the spaces are simple, the furniture is old, even shabby but still useful. We go because we can forgo the trap-pings of a digital world, despite the omnipresence of cell phone, iPads and such. When a soft breeze calls us to play scrabble on the dock or a mirror clear lake invites a kayak ride, or when friends appear to spend time, and at our ages, time is a valuable commodity, we feel blessed. Hurry is a forbidden word, a taboo idea… except now when I want the sun to hurry its job on those narrow camp roads.

Fuel saving tipsAs the warmer weather arrives, many will have the

urge to visit local parks, plan trips and get away for long weekends. However, with the price of gasoline rising, it would be wise for vehicle owners to con-sider the following tips to maximize the efficiency of vehicles before hitting the road.Drive sensibly

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by five percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.Observe the speed limit

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 miles per hour. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each five mph you drive over 60 mph is like pay-ing an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas. Remove excess weight

Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your miles per gallon by up to two percent. The reduction is based on the percent-age of extra weight relative to the vehicle’s weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.Avoid excessive idling

Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.Use cruise control

Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.Use overdrive gears

When you use overdrive gearing, your car’s engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.

These tips were taken from fueleconomy.gov.

LIZ AND DAVE BEEBECAMILLUS ERIE CANAL PARK

Thanks from Marcellus RotaryTo the editor:

While Rotary’s Green Breakfast came a week earlier this year, we still managed to celebrate a bit ‘o the Irish as well as make a concerted effort to be “green” by using mainly local foods and composting or recy-cling approximately 95 percent of the waste produced in preparing and serving the breakfast. Additionally by collecting scrap metal from the community and taking it to the scrap yard, those discarded items earned us a few dollars and will be recycled. Our thanks to the Hodgkins and O’Hara Real Estate Team of Coldwell Banker for loaning us their truck for that venture. We hope to have served the community and the planet well and wisely through these efforts. Thank you to all those who supported Rotary’s even greener, Green Breakfast.

Thanks for another great year of youth wrestlingTo the editor:

The Marcellus Recreational Department Youth Wrestling Program (grades 2-6)

had another great year participating in the Central New York Youth Wrestling League. The youth program continues to grow thanks to continual dedication and enthusiasm displayed by kids, parents and coaches alike.

The youth wrestling season beings with “try it” practices in December fol-lowed by practices in January, February and March, which take place twice a week. Multi-school tournaments are also held on a weekly basis. Other participat-ing schools include Skaneateles, Fabius, Onondaga, Lafayette, Cortland, West Genesee, Jamesville-Dewitt, Homer, Port Byron and Jordan-Elbridge.

As previously mentioned, we had an outstanding group of dedicated parents who often sat through each practice and our attendance at tournaments was sub-stantial as well. 42 kids proudly represent-ed Marcellus at these tournaments where they not only learned the fundamentals of wrestling but elements of competition, conditioning, respect for others, healthy eating habits and being part of a team.

I would like to extend gratitude toward coaches Chris Koll, Joe Moran, Kevin Pierce, Pete Distefano and Bob Rice. In addition to all the parent volunteers that helped set up and break down mats along with running tournaments and concessions. To the Marcellus J-V/Varsity wrestling that worked tables and assisted with practices. The DMS custodians: Patti, Morgan, Steve and Carl. Marcellus Athletic Director Brad Dates. Phil Coc-cia and Sandy Elsey with the Marcellus Recreation Department. The program is very fortunate to have these individuals involved. I would like to give a special thank you to the parents for their gra-cious end of the year gift.

Drug Testing for Public Assistance Applicants Would Help People Access Care

I recently signed onto legislation that, if passed, would require those applying for pub-lic assistance to undergo a drug test. This is a small request to make of any applicant seeking public assistance. If the applicant tests positive for drug use, this would help him or her receive access to drug treatment so they can focus on recovery, as well as pro-viding for themselves and their families—even possibly to the point where they may not need public assistance.

The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Sub-stance Abuse Services estimates that one in seven state residents (2.5 million) suffer from a substance use disor-der (SUD) or problem gambling. The agency estimates that 11 percent, or 1.8 million, state residents age 12 and older (including 160,000 adolescents ages 12-17) experi-ence a SUD (substance dependence or abuse) annually. Our laws and public benefits should be designed to help people and put them on the path to recovery. If people on public benefits are using drugs, we are enabling an illegal drug habit paid for with the help of public ben-efits—the very public benefits that were designed to help people feed themselves and their families when times are tough and help close the gaps that the economic down-turn has created. Studies show that when the economy is struggling, families and providers struggle too. Crime is up, drug use is up and poverty increases. Those who

Marcellus hosts open library night

Parents and children, arms around each other, with heads resting gently on shoulders. Children, cross legged on the floor, eyes and ears attentive and awestruck as they listened to the stories being read by teachers who were obviously passionate about the words they were reading. This was the scene as K.C. Heffernan Elementary School Librarian Michael Brown held his March open library night. The March 10 read-a-loud event was held in con-junction with the KCH PTO Spring Book Fair.

The KCH Library foyer was filled with families and students picking out books to purchase from an exemplary sample of children’s literature. Inside the library, the seats and floor were packed with families anxiously awaiting the next book to be read by a steady stream of teacher readers. Librarian Michael Brown welcomed all to the read-a-loud

Jordan-Elbridge students, parents defend music programsFrom page 1

By Ned Campbell

The cast of Jordan-Elbridge High School’s production of “Seus-sical the Musical” took a break from rehearsing last Wednesday night to tell the board what the music programs at J-E meant to them. In turn, the board took a break 30 minutes into their meeting to see the costumed students rehearse.

“Seussical the Musical” opened at 7:30 p.m. Friday March 18 in the high school auditorium.

“They were wonderful,” said board president Mary Alley. “It was the best part of the night, for sure.”

J-E senior James Hynes, dressed for his role as General Genghis Schmidt, was one of four students to talk to the board about the merits of the music programs at J-E.

With sports, “if you’re not good enough, you sit on the bench and you watch the game, or you’re a sub-stitute,” Hynes said. “In [marching] band, that doesn’t happen. Even if you’re not the best player, you’re still out there.”

Hynes said the marching band and drumline teach students to work as a team, since every one’s part in the performance is a neces-sity.

“Everybody’s important in all of

our music programs,” he said. “If we don’t have those, you’re taking away something that teaches people about being a part of a team that’s more than just sitting there and watching everybody else play.”

Sophomore Lexie Hynes, dressed as a “Who,” spoke of the marching band’s “unbelievable sup-port system.”

More than just a source for mu-sical education and growth, march-ing band keeps students active.

Infantino said anyone would be impressed by the physical rigors of a typical marching band practice.

“I get more exercise in my three days of guard and marching band than I do in a whole week of gym classes at school,” she said. “We’re never just sitting around, we’re con-stantly in a state of motion.”

Students showed the board a video of their peers saying why the music programs should be pro-tected. Parent Jonna Weaver passed

out binders to each board member with letters from students, parents and alumni who told of the music program’s lasting effect on them.

Maria Hare, an elementary school music teacher who has taught in the district for 25 years, listed off students who were active in the music program that continue to pursue music at the college level, and beyond.

She also spoke proudly of her three kids, ages 18, 20 and 23, and their continued involvement with music. Her daughter, Rachel, is a freshman at SUNY Geneseo.

“She’s not a music major, and I’m not bragging, but this is the truth,” Hare said. “Because of her experience at Jordan-Elbridge, she is playing in the Geneseo concert band and she’s also playing in the Geneseo orchestra. She’s first and second chair.”

Alley said that while she believes there will be cuts in all areas of programming, the entire music program will not be eliminated.

“I’d like everybody to take a deep breath and realize that would not be a very sensible thing to do,” she said. “Music affects all of our lives and we know how much it means to you. Sitting here is not a fun job. It’s misery, but there are choices we have to make.”

Students host McCabe benefit Thursday

Jordan-Elbridge student clubs will host a spaghetti dinner to benefit Matt McCabe and his family from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday March 24 at the high school cafeteria. Matt received a heart transplant Nov. 16 at Brigham & Women’s Hos-pital in Boston in the com-pany of his Gayle, a teacher at J-E, their five children and other friends and fam-ily members. Matt returned to his home on Main Street in Jordan in time for New Year’s Eve.

Donations can also be made via PayPal to [email protected].

SportsWesthill falls to Burke Catholic in state semifinals

By Phil Blackwell [email protected]

Familiar opponents appeared through-out the Westhill boys basketball team’s quest to repeat as state Class B champions, from league rivals in the sectional playoffs to Seton Catholic, whom it beat for the sec-ond year in a row in the regional finals.

Yet it was that familiarity that may have doomed the Warriors when it returned to Glens Falls Civic Center last Friday night and took a 63-58 defeat to Goshen Burke Catholic in the state Class B semifinals.

This was, after all, much the same Burke Catholic squad that Westhill conquered 60-51 in the 2010 state championship game on that same Glens Falls court.

Four Eagles starters were back from that team, including Brendan Miller, who said he kept the box score of that state final to remind him of how much that loss hurt - and to motivate himself, and his team-mates, for revenge in the rematch.

That motivation was evident from the opening tip. Setting a frantic pace, the Warriors and Eagles traded baskets before Burke used a 10-0 run late in the first quarter to surge out in front, 18-10. By the early portion of the second period, Westhill trailed 26-15.

But a series of baskets from Nathan Nigolian ignited an 8-0 run that helped Westhill climb close late in the half. The Eagles were just as bold in its response, moving its lead back to nine before Nigo-

lian’s driving lay-up at the buzzer made it 34-27 at the break.

It stayed that way through a sloppy third quarter where both teams turned the ball over often. Only the work of Justin Biles, who had 15 of his 19 points in the second half, kept Westhill close.

Biles hit a trio of 3-pointers, igniting a run early in the fourth quarter that crept the Warriors within one, 47-46, with less than five minutes left.

Burke would not give this one away, though. Richard Douglas drained a 3-pointer to make it 50-46, and after Nigo-lian’s pair of free throws made it 50-48, Zach Rufer countered with another big 3-pointer that made it 53-48.

Despite the Eagles missing a series of

late free throws, Westhill would not get closer than three points the rest of the way, and Rufer’s successful foul shots with seven seconds left put Burke into the state final.

Biles and Nigolian, who finished with 18 points, accounted for more than half of Westhill’s production. Kevin McAvoy added 11 points, and no other Warrior had more than one field goal.

Rufer led Burke with 28 points as team-mate Dante Cowart added 15 points. Fur-ther adding to the Warriors’ questions of what might have been, the Eagles went on to beat state no. 1-ranked Potsdam 62-52 Saturday night to earn the state champi-onship that, 12 months ago, Westhill had claimed for itself.

WOYSAWestern Onondaga Youth Soccer Association

My name is Roger Garcia and I am the president of WOYSA. I am making an appeal to the WOYSA community at large for volunteers to step up and take on the responsibility of running the day-to-day operations of WOYSA. I have announced my retirement to the Board of Directors. In addition I must also announce that the following positions will also be vacant very soon, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar, Web Site Coordinator, Field and Resource Coordinator, Micro Soccer Division Director, U10 and U12 Boys Division Directors. This is very serious and without mincing words, if members from the WOYSA community do not step up to fill this void, we will be forced to make decisions that may include dissolving the league. That of course is a last resortbut be clear; the league cannot effectively run without more help fromthe community.

Most of the volunteers stepping down have been volunteeringfor 10 years or more with several over 15 years of communityservice. It is time for others to step-up. As the second mostsenior member I will agree to remain on the board as anadvisor for a period of two years to help guide and trainany new members who volunteer.

With the current economic times it seems modifiedsports programs may suffer. WOYSA is the perfectvehicle to fill that void. However this will createthe need for a U14 boys and girls Division Directors.This is something we want to do, but it requires twoadditional committed volunteers.

This has been a very rewarding experience and allwho serve will tell you the same. If anyone wishes toenquire please e-mail me at: [email protected]

Sincerely,

Roger Garcia

Driver Middle School teachers, staff get goofy on the hard wood

Submitted by Dave Taddeo

The Driver Middle School staff put their own creative version of “March Madness” on display at the annual “Goofy” basketball game Friday March 11 in the gymnasium. The DMS PTA-sponsored fundraising event was coordinated by Betsy Ramsden and Mindy Manahan.

Faculty and staff competitors showed off their talents, as an enthusiastic crowd howled with delight at each creative pass or swished basket. Competitions included Beauties vs. Bakers; Dancers vs. Duckies; Friends vs. Foes; and Bozos vs. Babies.

George Mango, sixth grade teacher, and Michael Vincent, elementary physical education teacher, brought their own blend of commentator and analyst to the event while Pat Collier, former DMS principal, and Shelly Stepien , DMS physical education teacher, offered up some innovative twists to the art of officiating. An inspirational rendition of the National Anthem was per-formed by Maureen Henesey, occupational therapist.

Nancy van der Ven’s sixth grade class handled the concession stand and the sell-ing of goodies with all monies raised going to the SPCA. Halftime games included a 3-

point shooting contest where all participants received prizes and the raffling of a signed SU Basketball team ball and an autographed Wesley Johnson photograph.

Students getting in on the action for the third quarter was a new twist to this year’s goofy basketball game madness. Monies

raised through the selling of game tickets will support such DMS PTA events as the eighth grade moving up ceremony, the eighth grade trip and the grade 4-6 quarterly outstanding effort and citizenship breakfasts. A special thanks goes out to all faculty and staff who participated in the game.

Spanish students teach lessons at KCH Elementary

Submitted by Dave Taddeo

One of the great instructional ben-efits of a one-campus school setting is the opportunity for younger students to learn from their older peers.

This benefit is coming to frui-tion during the months of March and April as students from Shelly Marsh’s Marcellus Senior High School Spanish classes are visiting classes at Driver Middle School and K.C. Hef-fernan Elementary School to teach Spanish language lessons. Teachers participating in the “foreign language exchange” program include Rose Battaglia, third grade, George Mango, sixth grade, and Nancy van der Ven, sixth grade.

The high school students are teach-ing lessons over a six-week period; the first lesson took place March 4. A visit to Battaglia’s classroom on March 4 found high school Spanish student instructors Lexie Novak, Nora Barry, Gregg Treleaven, Melissa Lee, Alan Donohoe and Eric Morris deep in the

Among the teachers and staff reading at the KCH Open Library Night were:

Susan Decker, reading teacher – “Jamie O’Rouke and the Big Potato”

Rose Battaglia, third grade teacher – “The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs”

Jen DeCook, second grade teacher – “The Napping House”

Suzanne McClurg, first grade teacher – “Yertle the Turtle”

Jody Wiley, Kindergarten teacher

The open library night was brought to an exciting conclusion as Gary Bissaillon, KCH principal and Brown put on a jug-gling demonstration for the enthusiastic crowd. In this age of rapid fire technologi-cal advances and daily education funding challenges, the KCH Open Library Night reminds us of the central core of the teach-ing learning process: adults and children connecting together through the beauty and rhythm of the written and spoken language.

middle of their first Spanish lesson. Third grade students had translated their own name and were proudly displaying their “Spanish” names on a nametag necklace. Once the nametags were created the high school group introduced the following phrases:

Halo — HelloMe llamo – I am called (insert name)Coma te llamas? – What are you

called?The third grade learners then had

the opportunity to practice their newly learned Spanish phrases as their older peers moved about the room helping each pair of students with the pronunciation of the Spanish words.

Students present Spanish music projects

Teaching and learning in Sarah Cart-mill’s Spanish classes at Marcellus Senior High School took on a very rhythmic flavor during the month of February as students presented their Spanish music projects. Each Spanish student researched a Spanish music performing artist and then presented

a project that gave an overview of biograph-ical information, musical/artistic influenc-es, and honors/awards. Using technology that utilized the classroom SMARTboard and a variety of audio/visual power point innovations, each student presented their projects to their classroom peers. Each project was presented both orally and vi-sually in Spanish. Major artistic influences such as European, African, Indigenous, and Caribbean were spotlighted as students articulated the significant contributions of artists such as Thalia, Jose Guardiola, Pau Dones, and Jurabe DePalo .

Each presentation culminated with an audio/video demonstration of the artist in performance. Joseph Isgar and Angela Pugliese presented on Tito Puente, an ac-claimed Latin jazz and salsa musician who is often referred to as the King of the Tim-bales. Timbales are shallow single headed drums that were invented in Cuba. Isgar and Pugliese culminated their presentation with an actual performance that highlight-ed Puente’s music. Cartmill’s classroom was filled with the jazzy sounds of Puente’s music as Isgar on Trumpet, Pugliese on Saxophone, and Marcellus Senior High School band director Michael Cirmo on Timbales performed Ran Kan Kan.

Superintendent finalists namedThree finalists were recently named in J-E Schools’

search for a new superintendent. The board is looking to fill the void left by former Superintendent Marilyn Domi-nick, who retired Nov. 1. 17 people applied for the position, seven of which were interviewed by the school board who narrowed the pool down to three.

The finalists:Deborah Parker Grimshaw — assistant superintendent

for curriculum, instruction and special education at On-ondaga Central School District since July 2009.

James Froio — executive principal at Cicero-North Syracuse High School in the North Syracuse school district since 2004.

Randall Squier — superintendent of Oxford Academy & Central School District in Oxford since 2005.

Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES District Superintendent William Speck, who the board chose to lead the search process, said three committees — one consisting of com-munity members, another of administrators, and a third of school employees — will meet with the finalists and provide feedback to the board. The school board will then make the final decision.

“There is a process in there, probably in the near future, that will involve students,” Speck said.

The committee of community members includes: Becky O’Hara, Debra Dunham, Jordan Mayor Dick Platten, Gina Clifford, Elbridge Recreation Director Joe Patrick, John Stevenson, Elbridge Town Supervisor Ken Bush, Lisa Long, Lynnette Zelias, Paul Gugel, Peter Drummond, Peter Ilac-qua, Sarah VanLiew, Susan Osborn and Tam M. Deorsey.

Speck said he’s hoping the decision will be made by April 8.

“We’re right on track” he said. The next superintendent is expected to start work at

J-E Schools July 1.

have lived with drug addiction and those who treat people in rehab have seen firsthand how drugs can tear families apart.

Currently, if someone processing a benefits application suspects an applicant is using drugs, the ap-plicant is recommended for drug testing. However, this methodology is flawed, with too much room for interpretation. If a user is aware of any kind of red flags a screener is looking for, much can be done to hide or disguise these warning signs.

There would be some minimal costs associated with drug testing, which would ultimately save taxpay-ers’ money in the long run. Funds which are spent on drug screening, drug treatments and prevention, would theoretically save money spent on welfare and crime.

Recovery stories and assistance

I invite you to read recovery sto-

ries from New York State residents. Two years ago, Gov. Paterson began an effort with the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services to log first-hand accounts of people who underwent a successful recovery—from drugs, alcohol or gambling. The site is called iamrecovery.com. There are hundreds of stories on this site that detail what life is like living with addictions. Many have found help and have recovered. They are from all different walks of life. One writer, Rachel, a young mom who lives in New York State, shared the follow-ing:

“Addiction started for me at a very early age. I can remember as far back as fifth grade — the first time I had even heard about drugs — and telling myself I wanted to try them all. My childhood was near perfect, no troubles at home, no abuse of any kind, but I never felt comfortable in my own skin and didn’t like who I was… What I want the people who haven’t yet found recovery to know,

is no matter how much pain you are in right now, there is an end other than death. You can choose today to stop the pain and start a new life in recovery. Addiction doesn’t discrim-inate, and neither does recovery. No matter who you are, where you live, no matter what your addiction is or how long you’ve been using, there is always a way out.

There are many more stories like this. To read, visit iamrecovery.com. To find treatment options, visit oasas.state.ny.us or call 1-877-8-HOPENY (1-877-846-7369).

percent, up from 93 percent the previous year. Tice attributed this to the “strong work of our counsel-

ors and our teachers at the high school.” He said they’ve done a great job of meeting the needs of “both the large cohort of students” and the individual students.

“A lot of electives that we offer encourage students to take full course loads,” he added.

The district also scored high in the number of students that go on to pursue a college degree. 96 percent of students at Marcellus planned to attend either two-year or four-year college following graduation.

Marcellus had 98 percent of its students graduate with a regents diploma, up from 94 percent last year. This number compares to the top performing schools in the area – as do the district’s overall regents scores.

“Our regents scores are comparable to Skaneateles and Westhill, F-M, J-D and Cazenovia,” he said, adding: “Out of all those districts, [we have] one of the lowest costs per pupil.”

The percentage of students performing at the mastery level fluxuated in 2009-10 from previous years. For in-stance, 85 percent of students taking the Comprehensive French regents scored an 85 or higher, up from 74 percent in 2008-09. Mastery level for the Spanish regents, taken by 106 students in 2009-10, dropped to 50 percent from 82 percent the previous year.

“We’re always looking to improve our mastery rates, take a look at students performing at 85 percent or bet-ter,” Tice said.

But students are passing at an incredibly high rate. In terms of students passing their foreign language regents exams, the numbers couldn’t be better. 100 percent of stu-dents taking both the French and Spanish regents exams passed in each of the past three years.

Tice said the district has strived to make taking foreign language a desirable option for students. “The world is getting smaller every day,” he said. 98 percent of students graduated with a regents diploma, and 71 percent gradu-

ated with advanced regents diplomas — which requires students complete a foreign language. 71 percent was third place among area districts, topped only by Skaneateles and Fayetteville-Manlius schools.

Tice expects the school’s success with foreign languages to continue. At the start of this school year, Marcellus added a seventh grade exploratory class to its curriculum where students take rotate between Spanish and French for 20 weeks, then decide which language they will pursue. The class is taught by Audrey Misainno, who is certified in both languages.

“It allows the students to make an informed decision,” Tice said. “Before they would just rely on a neighbor or sibling … now they actually get a little exposure to both in seventh grade.”

Student to teacher Marcellus currently has around 21 students per class-

room across the district. Tice said that number could in-crease as cuts are made to balance this year’s budget— the district faces a $2.9 million deficit.

“As the cuts happen, you’ll probably start to see some of the class sizes get a little bit larger,” he said.

Tice said he hopes to keep Marcellus performing at its high level through the tough fiscal times, but it will not be easy.

“We’ve worked so hard in Marcellus over the years to develop this high performing district, it’s very frustrat-ing to have to start to dismantle it because of the fiscal problems.

“We want to do what we can to help the taxpayers but at the same time, it shouldn’t be an easy task because this district is something we should be proud of.”

The district will host three town meetings at 7 p.m. on March 30 at the high school, March 31 at the elementary school and April 4 at the middle school. The meetings will feature a budget presentation by the board of educa-tion and the superintendent, with a question and answer session to follow.

her high school sweetheart in 1977, and their children, Brad and Erin, both graduated from J-E. A graduate of Cayuga Community College, Milton has been employed as an account operations manager by Xerox Corporation for the past 12 years and she started a small business in October called Twisted Sister’s Glitter & Shine, which specializes in custom embroidery and jewelry.

“It feels great to be elected to the position,” Milton said. “I want to thank my family and friends for coming out to vote and showing their support for myself, the other trustees and the judge.”

Milton said she expects this to be a challenging year for local government due to ongoing issues with the school and the decrease in funds from the county.

“I have been deeply concerned with the issues regarding our school board and how it is affecting our community,” she said

Milton is interested in many aspects of village govern-ment, and looks forward to becoming more involved with the community.

“Before taking this position I was only exposed to the surface of the village, as a trustee I am now learning the inter-workings of our community and the local govern-ment,” she said.

Catherine Ferris and her husband, Jeffrey, have a daugh-

ter in first grade at Jordan-Elbridge. She is employed by Lyons National Bank in Jordan.

Ferris said it felt “a little weird, but exciting too!” to be elected to the position.

“I’m excited to be given the opportunity to positively contribute toward the future of this historic village,” Fer-ris said. Like Milton, this is Ferris’s first position in local government.

“If you asked me five years ago when I moved to Jordan whether I could see myself serving in local government, my answer would have been ‘that’s not for me,’” she said.

But since then, she’s become more involved in the com-munity. For the last three years she has served on the village of Jordan Citizen’s Review Committee and last year served on Jordan’s 175th Anniversary Committee.

“Through those experiences, I realized that I have a deep interest in the Jordan community today and what the future holds for the village,” Ferris said.

Jordan Mayor Dick Platten said he looks forward to working with the new trustees.

“They will bring hopefully some new ideas and some additional energy,” Platten said. “We’ll have a very good board to work with.”

Trustee Lee Badman was re-elected to another four-year term, as was village justice Michael Weir, both with 46 votes. All positions on the ballot were uncontested.

else, now they know they’re coming to school tomorrow with no coaches, and that’s my biggest concern.”

Young taught physical education at J-E for 30 years be-fore retiring at the end of last year. He was looking forward to his 31st year of coaching the school’s lacrosse team.

Young said he was devastated by the news, though he was mostly concerned for the kids. He’s unsure of who will coach in his place, since his assistant coach, Pat Smart (brother of Mike Smart), told him he now plans to resign.

“It’s not the end of the world for me, I can always get a job somewhere else,” he said.

Young said he and Mike Smart received little explana-tion from the recently appointed interim athletic director, Phyllis Danks, for not being hired. She was not privy to the board’s reasoning, and suggested he talk to Zacher, Young said.

“I wish I could tell you anything,” he said. “I really am not sure about what happened.”

Young said he felt the board’s decision came down to the grievances of one parent, John Stevenson, whose son was a volunteer assistant coach for the varsity lacrosse team last year. Young decided not to have Stevenson’s son return this year because “it just didn’t work out.”

“30 years of coaching and one parent complaining and we lose our job,” Young said.

During the public comments session of a December school board meeting, Stevenson questioned Mike Smart’s actions as J-E’s varsity football coach. In his speech, Ste-venson accused Smart of favoritism and publicly defamed members of the Smart family.

Young said Stevenson later convinced some board members that by not hiring his son back as an assistant coach, Young and Mike Smart were holding a grudge against him.

But Young and his assistant coach, Pat Smart, had made the decision prior to the October meeting where Stevenson spoke, Young said.

One board member abstainsBrian Richardson said he abstained from the vote on

Young’s appointment because his son is on the team.“Because I was so close to it I felt it was important for

me to abstain,” he said.Had Richardson decided to vote “yes” rather than

abstain, Young would still be coaching varsity lacrosse at J-E.

“Whether he voted no or abstained, I still don’t get to coach,” Young said, adding:

“I would think I would have gotten some support from him. His older son played for me for four years, and his younger son’s on the team this year, this is his third year.”

It started as a tabled agenda itemDuring its March 2 meeting, the board of education

tabled the appointment of all spring coaches for a special meeting two days later. Smart’s appointment was tabled at that meeting; Young’s recommendation for appointment was left off the agenda.

So when Zacher gave the coaches the go ahead on Tues-day March 8, it wasn’t official. Young and Smart thought it

was just a bump in the road.“We’ve already coached the last two weeks,” Young said.

“We’ve been out there, out in the cold in the parking lot every day, assuming we had a job.”

Neither coach was at the March 16 school board meet-ing.

“It’s not common practice for a coach or any staff member to attend their appointment,” said Robin Smart, who coaches varsity softball at J-E. Mike Smart is her brother-in-law. “In most districts, a recommendation by the athletic director and/or the superintendent of schools makes the board’s vote a mere formality as the judgment of the professional staff is not questioned.”

Support shown on FacebookA Facebook group supporting Young and Smart was

started two weeks ago when their future at J-E first came into question.

“As terrible as I was at lacrosse, these two guys made it extremely fun and a memorable part of my high school career,” wrote Brandon Farrar, one of many former players to post on the Facebook page. “… They were two significant mentors to me growing up in J-E. I’m sure anybody else I played with would say the same.” Superintendent finalists named

Three finalists were recently named in J-E Schools’ search for a new superintendent. The board is looking to fill the void left by former Superintendent Marilyn Domi-nick, who retired Nov. 1. 17 people applied for the position, seven of which were interviewed by the school board who narrowed the pool down to three.

The finalists:Deborah Parker Grimshaw — assistant superintendent

for curriculum, instruction and special education at On-ondaga Central School District since July 2009.

James Froio — executive principal at Cicero-North Syracuse High School in the North Syracuse school district since 2004.

Randall Squier — superintendent of Oxford Academy & Central School District in Oxford since 2005.

Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES District Superintendent William Speck, who the board chose to lead the search process, said three committees — one consisting of com-munity members, another of administrators, and a third of school employees — will meet with the finalists and provide feedback to the board. The school board will then make the final decision.

“There is a process in there, probably in the near future, that will involve students,” Speck added.

The committee of community members includes: Becky O’Hara, Debra Dunham, Jordan Mayor Dick Platten, Gina Clifford, Elbridge Recreation Director Joe Patrick, John Stevenson, Elbridge Town Supervisor Ken Bush, Lisa Long, Lynnette Zelias, Paul Gugel, Peter Drummond, Peter Ilac-qua, Sarah VanLiew, Susan Osborn and Tam M. Deorsey.

Speck said he’s hoping the decision will be made by April 8.

“We’re right on track” he said. The next superintendent is expected to start work at

J-E Schools July 1.
