For many area bicyclists and walkers, the Erie Canalway Trail be-gins and ends at the Erie Canal Park in Camillus.

What was once the Erie Canal in is now Erie Boulevard, and as a re-sult, the biggest gap in the statewide trail is the stretch between Camillus and Dewitt.

Trail supporters are hoping to close that gap.

Russ Andrews, who represents Syracuse on the Canalway Trails As-sociation New York Board, says that before that can happen, the rest of the trail must be connected. Difficul-ties and expenses in connecting Ca-millus to Dewitt include obtaining an easement from Honeywell and finding a path through downtown

Syracuse. A clear-cut path has yet to be navigated.

“Until it becomes the gaping tooth in the smile that is the trail, there won’t be enough political and public pressure to get it done,” Andrews said.

CTANY, an all-volunteer orga-nization, and Parks and Trails New York held a press conference Tues-day Nov. 9 at the Erie Canal Park to announce their first annual status report on the progress of “Closing the Gaps.” The 360-mile trail from Albany to Buffalo is about 75 per-cent complete as an off-road path, and Camillus to Syracuse is one of six major gaps cited in the report.

While no new trail construction took place in 2010, progress was made on funding in three places.

All in strideThree Garns lead the way for Marcellus cross country

By Melinda StevensContributor

The Garn family is a lot like any other family in Marcellus. They just tend to always be on the run – literally.

Oldest son Jesse, 17, Justin, 15, and daughter Rachel, 13, were all leaders on the varsity boys and girls cross-country teams at Marcellus High School this year. Both teams had a strong showing at the state championship meet, with the boys placing fourth in Class B, and Rachel placing 24th among individual runners – one of three girls on her team to compete.

Jesse has been running for six years and Justin and Rachel for two. “I played football in the seventh grade and just remembered that I

didn’t like it,” Jesse said. “A friend of mine influenced me to try running and that’s what I have come to love.”

Justin and Rachel soon followed.“I played soccer until the eighth grade and then got sick of it,” Justin

said. “I also turned down soccer to run,” Rachel said. “I wanted to follow

Jesse.”The Garn family has always found inspiration in the sport. “I think the younger kids decided to try and run because of Jesse,” said

Filling in the gaps: What will it take to complete the Erie Canalway Trail?

The village of Camillus proposed a $.35 per $1,000 of assessed property value increase in the tax rate at a bud-get hearing Thursday Nov. 9 in Village Hall – that figure had been cut in half, from $.75, that morning.

“After going through the budget this morning with [village clerk/treasurer] Marie [Stanczyk], the suggestion was made” to take $19,259 from the unex-pended fund balance of $120,000 in order to bring the rate down to a $.35 increase.

The village changed its fiscal year to match the calendar year for 2011, which is why the budget for 2010 looks so small – because of the change, 2010’s budget only covered seven months. The proposed budget for 2011 is $1.02 million compared to $596,686 last year.

Broken down month by month, the total budget comes to $84, 935 – that’s slightly higher than 2010’s month-by-month break down, which comes to $85,240.

The proposed budget is almost $100,000 less than what was budgeted in 2008-09.

The village was faced with a lost of $80,000 in sales tax revenue and a loss of approximately $3,000 in state aid, Montero said, which contributed to difficulties in keeping the tax rate from increasing.

Even with the tax increase, cuts had to be made. For the second year in a row, the village proposed to provide no funding to Maxwell Memorial Library, a decrease in $10,000 from 2008-09.

Library Director Katy Benson at-tended the meeting to advocate for the library.

“I know there are issues, there are problems with coming up with money, but I just wanted to show you some information I pulled together on what our potential service is to the village,” Benson said, “and just ask if any con-sideration could be made to somehow, at some point, reinstate some kind of budget for the library.”

Benson presented the board with a worksheet of statistics from the 2000 Census (later data was not available).

“Almost 12.5 percent of village resi-dents 25 and older have less than a high school education,” Benson said. “These are people who have a potential need for some literacy services, not learning how to read necessarily, but studying for the GED, and help like that which the library provides.”

One bullet point stated that out of 568 households in Camillus, 305

are families. Of the 264 non-family households, 76 are senior citizens liv-ing alone. Benson noted that in 2009, Maxwell hosted 225 programs for kids and teens, 168 for adults (mostly seniors) and 37 for families.

Montero said he agreed with every-thing on Benson’s worksheet and val-ued the service the library provides.

“And believe me, it makes me sick that we had to cut a lot of things in or-der to minimize the amount of money that the public would have to come up with in taxes,” Montero said. “I know there is only one line in this budget that money could be moved from, and that’s called the contingency account.

“That’s the only one that right now doesn’t really go anywhere, just in case something happens.”

Benson had her own suggestion

In briefHoliday gift ideas from the Friends of Marcellus ParkLooking for a unique holiday gift?

How about one that will provide beauty during the long winter months ahead?

For the fifth year, the Friends of Marcellus Park will sell amaryllis bulbs for your holiday giving. Of all the flowering bulbs, amaryllis is the easiest to bring to bloom. In past years, the Friends only sold these bulbs at the Drive Middle School Holiday Hap-pening. This year, they are offering a presale with pick up at their Holiday Happening booth on Dec. 4.

For the presale, the Friends are sell-ing three of the most popular colors, White Christmas, Red Lion and Na-gano (salmon). One can expect these quality bulbs to bloom several times with large blossoms. Presale forms are available online at Marcellusny.com or in person at Main Street Pharmacy and Town Hall.

Another unique idea is an en-graved brick. The “Leave your Mark in the Park” program offers individu-als the opportunity to buy engraved bricks, which will be placed in the

sidewalk that leads to the new play-ground this spring.

Each 8- by 14-inch brick allows for a message of two lines with 14 characters per line and is sold for $50. An additional line can be added for an additional cost. This would be a lovely way to leave a special mark as indi-viduals, families or companies. Gift certificates are available. Park benches are also available for purchase.

All proceeds will go to the Friends and their continued support of Mar-cellus Park.

October gifts drift in from the seaThe children and I

would walk along the water’s edge bundled against the wind, which is inevitable along the eastern shore of Skaneateles that time of the year. The little beach of no more than a yard wide in front of our cottage was now a broad expanse of gravel that provided ten or more feet between the summer shore and the water’s edge. We could now walk past all of the cottages and houses that in summer were cut off by high water or chain link fences. We would walk south for almost a mile, our voices echoing across the lake or getting lost in the wind, our cheeks rosy in the sharp air and our hearts joyous on so simple an expedition. Along the way we collected kindling and searched for anticipated riches of beach glass.

Few pieces of the precious glass washed up on the tiny area in front of the cottage during the summer

months, but in October, after the waters of the lake had receded, there was treasure to be had. Each of us had a child’s pail into which we would put our water-tumbled

jewels. The glass had become almost mystical to the children, its smooth, silky surfaces and bright colors re-sembling precious gems. The ersatz stones glinting among the pebbles drew them and their imaginations as they scrambled over the screen to find their booty.

We would arrive back from our adventure tired but exuberant with our goals accomplished. We had kindling for the fire and glass to examine and save. Fire in the stove, hot chocolate and sandwiches capped the day’s activities as we enjoyed the last hours before we would close the cottage for the winter. Sated and warm we would sort the day’s cache of glass. What do you think

this was? Was this piece part of a bottle, a cup, a dish? We searched for the lovely pale lavender pieces or the rarest deep blue, wondering whose hands last touched the objects from which they came. The jewels tumbled through their young hands and into their imaginations to be set aside with the catch from previous Octobers to be savored next summer. They were, these little shards of silica, harbingers of summers to come … at least for a while.

We stood at the water’s edge only a few weeks ago as we put the finish-ing touches on this summer’s end. The lake had yet to drop enough for a walk. My children, now adults, reminiscing about our escapades of old, unsuccessfully searched our little beach for glass and went home to live their lives, remembering crisp Oc-tober days with no cares but to find drift wood and beach glass. Those were gifts that will last.

Barclay takes a tip from the pressI talked to Will Barclay,

Assemblyman for the 124th District, two Fridays ago after receiving notice of an item drive he is once again involved in. The Ladies Aux-iliary and Pulaski VFW Post 7289 are collecting items to send to troops in time for Christmas.

The only local drop-off site indicated on the press release was Camillus, so just to be sure I asked if there were any others. If there were, I told him over the phone, I could potentially have the article pub-lished in multiple Eagle Newspapers

to help spread the word.

Barclay’s response surprised me: “No, just Camillus. But that’s a great idea.”

Thanking me for the suggestion, he said he would call up area town halls and see if they’d be willing to have a box set up on site for collection. Adding a few boxes would be easy enough, he said, and could make a big difference in the number of donations coming in.

Less than an hour later I received

an e-mail from his office saying that boxes had been added to town halls in Lysander, Elbridge, Skaneateles and Marcellus.

I commend the assemblyman for taking my question as a suggestion and taking quick action to improve an already productive effort to sup-port the troops. He could have easily stopped at, “No, just Camillus.”

Donations must be received by Nov. 18 for packages to arrive in time for Christmas. A full list of suggested items can be found at eagle-observer.com.

The Jordan Elbridge Puzzle To the editor: First, thank you for your excellentand comprehensive coverage of this terrific mess.

It is hard for me to imagine that our school board, elected to represent the best interests of our children and us as taxpayers, has allowed this seemingly bottomless and costly quagmire to occur. Can the BOE not see that the employees they have targeted have talent, integrity and exemplary work ethics? Why would they let these employees slip through their fingers? What sort of a regime is this, that questioning is not allowed? Why were they trying to fix things that were not broken and in fact continually improving?

Why with no warning, no attempt to discuss their concerns have they targeted these employees, virtually ruining careers and reputations in many cases. The nine employees who have been maliciously maligned and falsely accused are respected and sought after for their intelligence, foresight, expertise and talent throughout NYS and nationwide in several cases. Why can’t our board get over their grudges and bad advice and find an economic solution? Can we begin by concentrating on the positives versus the negatives as noted in the wonderful letter that Mr. Hamilton wrote, that was initially not allowed to be seen by district employees? Get out to the Wednesday Nov. 17 board meeting and keep questioning this debacle.

Let’s lift up literacyFor the second year in a row, the village of Camillus

has proposed to budget zero dollars to Maxwell Memo-rial Library.

That’s $10,000 less than was budgeted two years ago.Does this mean the village doesn’t feel the library

deserves funding? It doesn’t look that way. At least not after last Tuesday’s budget hearing, where Mayor Michael Montero told Library Director Katy Benson that it ”sick-ened him” to have to leave the library out of the budget for 2011.

When no village dollars were given to Maxwell Memorial in 2009-10 – before the village switched its fiscal year to match the calendar year – Trustees Anne Clancy and Sharon Hannon, recognizing the unjustness of the cut, gave generous portions of their stipends to the library.

The library’s value to the village is clear, so why doesn’t it show in the budget?

Yes, the budget was tight this year. But we also think it could be a matter of the library doing what it does well without making too much noise.

The village of Camillus is in the midst of a come-back, and grant funding for improvements of business storefronts and total reconstructions of 55 Main and the Camillus Cutlery has been sought and secured.

But through the years – since the 19th century – Max-well Memorial Library has been a constant.

Let’s not forget about the library simply because it doesn’t demand improvement. We look forward to the day the Maxwell Memorial can take back its place in the village budget landscape.

The people of Marcellus and neighboring com-munities were invited to the Marcellus Historical Club to learn about the Indians of New York State at an open meeting held at St. John’s Parish House. Dr. Anton Schrwelde spoke and showed pictures. Dr. Schrwelde was a well known medical doctor of Syracuse, who for several years had a hobby of taking part in Indian excavations in our section of the state. He had acquired a large collection of Indian relics. People were asked to bring arrowheads or other relics that they wanted to show and get help identifying them if needed.

Give a boy and a girl clear skies and a full moon and a time for a hay ride. Earl Dence was a chauffeur for a group of young folk on Saturday night. Bob Hart furnished the music with his guitar. The party sang western songs and their voices could be heard as they traveled through the hills surrounding Marietta. Those who joined the party were Miss Judy Dence, hostess, Bob Hart, Holly Russell, Bob and Tom Carpenter, Sally Dence, Jim Forkhammer, Joann Dence and Carl Ryan. A lunch was also served at the Dence home.

Mr. and Mrs. Allison Walby of Navarino announced the engagement of their daughter, Sheila Ann to Charles W. Kurtz, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Kurtz of Willow Dale Road. The wedding would take place in November. “Memories of Marcellus” by Frank Griffing contin-ue… Robert Manley moved to Marcellus from Boro-dino. He was the harness maker up there. He worked for me for a while. Rob was a drinking man, otherwise a good man. In order to work in the morning, he wanted 25 cents to get a half pint of whiskey. He would go over to the Alvord House and bring back the half pint and pour it down, just like running it through a funnel, then he would fill his pipe and go to work. If I drank one quarter of that stuff, I would not be able to work that day. Matt Jamieson came to Marcellus from Scotland. He learned the harness trade over there. He worked for me for awhile when he first came over. He was a good harness maker, but never learned the art of cutting. I remember making a heavy double harness for Will Hayes. Will had the express from Marcellus to Syracuse. He brought lots of goods for me and also would do my banking. He would take any amount of money in and bank the same for ten cents. In those days, I bought leather by the roll, ten sides per roll, shipped direct from the tannery which would cost around $125.00 per roll. Sometimes I was short and would have to buy a side or two from jobbers in Syracuse and then it would cost me a few cents more by the pound. (to be continued)

The First Presbyterian Church of Marcellus will set and dedicate the cornerstone on its new building ad-dition Sunday morning following the regular worship service. The stone will be placed by Mr. John Gallinger, Chairman of the Building Committee and Stewart Wroe, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The minister of the church, Rev. Keith R. Shinaman will offer the dedication prayer. The addition which cost $110,000 provides four-teen new classrooms for the Church School and a fellow-ship hall capable of seating about 250 people for dinner. The Presbyterian congregation is one of the oldest in this part of the county, having been incorporated in 1802.

The students of MCS are getting ready to present their musical, “Sing Out Sweet Land.” Some of the cast members are: David Kershaw, Sharon McDemic, Bradley Hall, Mary Ann Quinn, Bernie MacDonald, Nancy Raymond, Tim Taylor, Vince Townsend, Susan Raynor, Chris Wiles, Alan Reichel, Dick Rosa, Mary Ann Wil-cox, Tom Mullen, Larry Bates, Carol MacAllister, Neil Loomis and many others. The students are going all out to make this play a record breaker of all times.

The Marcellus Methodist Church will put on its Elec-tion Day dinner at the church from 1 a.m. until 1 p.m.

50 years ago, 1960New York makes steps toward Obamacare

In March 2010, Congress passed the Patient Protec-tion and Affordable Care Act or, as it is more commonly known, Obamacare. A number of people have asked my office questions about how this will work. Unfortunately, a lot has yet to be decided. How-ever, all states are required to have some of the law’s provisions in place by the end of 2010 and an ambi-tious timeline has been established through 2014 to meet all of the federal requirements. I wanted to take some time this week and next to help explain some of the health care changes that will take place.

Under current New York law, health insurance companies can-not deny coverage to people seek-ing health insurance who have a pre-existing medical condition. However, there is a one-year waiting period before insurance has to cover that condition. For example, if you have diabetes, you cannot be denied health insurance but your insurer doesn’t have to provide coverage for the diabetes for one year from the time of your enrollment. The ratio-nale for the one-year waiting period is that people should be encouraged

to get health insurance prior to getting sick. If there wasn’t a one-year waiting period, con-ceivably anyone could wait till they got sick before getting insur-ance.

Under Obamacare, there will be no waiting period for coverage of pre-existing medical conditions but that provision will not go into effect until the requirement that everyone have health insurance is instituted. In the meantime, the federal govern-ment is offering subsidies for states to immediately provide insurance coverage for people who are cur-rently uninsured and have a medi-cal condition. New York has taken advantage of this subsidy and, on Oct. 1, New York began contracting with GHI, a private health insurance company to administer what the state is calling the NY Bridge Plan.

To be eligible for NY Bridge Plan, people need to have at least one of the medical conditions listed in the insurance application and not have had health insurance for at least the last six months. Any conditions not listed will be subject to medical re-view and applicants will be asked to submit medical records for consider-ation. NY Bridge Plan is a temporary

program that will be available until Jan. 2014 when other provisions of Obamacare go into effect.

NY Bridge overlays other health insurance options that are offered by the state. It covers primary and specialty care, inpatient and out-patient hospital care, prescription drugs as well as assistance from professional nurses and caseworkers to help members manage chronic conditions and maintain overall health. Patients must see doc-tors within the network. Coverage premiums are $362 a month for Upstate residents. A $421 monthly fee applies to Downstate residents. Copays apply. Enrollment is on a first-come, first serve basis. If NY Bridge reaches capacity, a waiting list will be established. For information, visit nybridgeplan.com or call 1800-693-9277 (TDD: 1-877-448-4975). NY Bridge differs from plans like Family Health Plus in that there are no income eligibility requirements.

Runners, walkers show their Mustang pride

dave taddeO

The third annual Mustang Pride Walk took place on a crisp autumn Nov. 7 day at Driver Middle School. The theme for this year’s run was written on the Mustang Pride t-shirts, which were designed by Anna Perry, a student in Sandy Carey’s fifth grade class at DMS: “Walk, Run Race, You’ll always be at a Mustang Pace.” The event included refreshments, a 1.5 mile walk, a 3K run, and a presentation of the National Anthem by members of the DMS seventh and eighth grade band conducted by Audrey Turner. Faculty advisors for the Mustang Pride groups are Kathy Rein and Dianne McArdell. The following student members helped facilitate the race: Alli Ghezzi, Kaitlin Bowen, Becca Hutcheon, Nicole Dillon, Tessa Mosher, Corey Palmer, Mackenzie Proud, Abbey Grosso, Hannah Abbott, Hayley Cross and Laura Prioletti.

JE students stay ‘on target’

Submitted by Robin Smart

Jordan-Elbridge Middle and High School students re-cently took part in archery program that concluded with a field trip to Wildwood Sports Center in Elbridge. Students put their archery skills to the test as they maneuvered the 3-D obstacle course, which consisted of deer, elk, turkey, boar and even a polar bear.

JE’s physical education teachers Mark Fietta and Tracey Engle coordinated the event and local archery enthusiasts volunteered their time to help chaperone the student groups that maneuvered the outdoor course.

Jordan-Elbridge has offered this program to its stu-dents as part of its physical education curriculum for the last three years, thanks to a grant received for hosting an Archery Training for Instructors Program. The funds from the grant covered the cost of the equipment, including 24 archery bows, indoor targets, drop net, arrows, indoor bow hangers and repair kits. The equipment is utilized by JE’s Middle and High School students.

The program is designed to teach International style target archery in 4th-12th grade physical education classes. Core content covers archery history, safety, technique, equipment, mental concentration, core strengthening physical fitness and self-improvement.

Baking pies to their delight (Part II)The Smell I Never Smelled Before

By Sami Tone

On October 4, 2010, right when I heard my alarm go off at 7 a.m., I jumped out of my bed and went tumbling to the kitchen. I ran so fast I kept falling and tripping! I sat down and ate my Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal so fast that I was choking. I got ready for school as fast as I could. I rode the bus and was so excited it felt like I was riding in an ice cream truck. I arrived at Driver Middle School. I was walking through the hallways, but I felt like I would scream if I could not run, but I stayed calm. I went to my fourth

grade class room, room 185, Mrs. Snyder and Ms. Alexander and all of the other parents were there. Before you knew it, we were off to the Home Economics room. Ms. Alexander explained the directions and soon we were off making apple pies. First we washed the apples, after that, we cut up the apples then smashed the apples with our hands. Our hands felt wet and sticky but smelled like fresh cut apples from branches hanging up above us. After that, we added sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg one by one. Then we mixed everything together. It looked marvelous. Next we turned on the oven to 450 degrees. After that we took a bowl,

put the crust in the bowl and then put all of the apples in the crust. We covered the apples with another crust and then we squeezed the two crusts together. Then it was off to the steaming hot oven. We waited for about 15 to 20 minutes, then opened the oven and when we took the pie out, it was golden brown and crispy. The smell of the apple pie was incredible. The best part was eating the pie, the part I’ve been waiting for, mmm, mmm, good. It tasted fantastic! My life just got better!

Sami Tone is a member of Mrs. Sny-der and Ms. Alexander’s fourth grade class at Driver Middle School.

In briefOctagon House continues tradition of holiday cheer


Since the restoration of the Octagon House in Camillus in the early 1990s, the weekend before Thanksgiving has meant an eight-sided holiday-themed open house.

“This started as a way to show the lo-cal community how the house had been brought back and it has been growing ever since,” said Joy Flood, who is in charge of this year’s event.

The 2010 Holiday Open House runs from noon to 4 p.m. Nov. 20 and 21 and features an extensive raffle – 28 prizes of holiday decorated items, mostly trees, will fill the first floor. The prizes are all donated and created by area businesses, local resi-dents and friends of the Octagon House.

Grandma’s pantry will brim with baked good provided by over 200 local commu-nity bakers and residents – just in time to be purchased for Thanksgiving.

Santa will also pay the house a visit, and set up shop from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday in the gallery area. The Village Singers will carol through the house from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday, and artists and craftsmen will display and sell handmade creations throughout the weekend.

All proceeds from the open house go

to the restoration of the Octagon House’s interior and the purchasing of period fur-nishings. Built in 1856, the house is on the National Registry of Historical Places and is one of the few restored houses of its kind on the East Coast. Unique to the house is its central staircase that travels up five floors, and 62 stairs, to the cupola from which all of Camillus can be viewed.

The Octagon House is located at 5420 W. Genesee St., Camillus, and is open for guided tours from 1 to 5 p.m. There is a visual tour for viewing on the main floor for visitors who cannot travel through the house and the house is handicap accessible. For more information, call 488-7800.

Supervisors agreed to match a $1 million State Depart-ment of Transportation grant to connect Newark to Lyons. Construction is expected to begin within the next two years.

Funds from the New York Transportation Bond Act, approved in 2005, were finally released after two years of pushing by CTANY and Parks and Trails New York. A portion of these funds will go to connecting the gap in Rome, where construction is expected to begin in about two years.

Earlier this year, the state’s Office of Parks and Recre-ation and Historic Preservation purchased an abandoned railroad corridor from CSX that will eventually allow most of the Amsterdam to Rotterdam Junction gap to be closed.

The report cited various ongoing challenges to com-pleting the trail, including lack of funding, no defined route in areas like Syracuse where the canal and towpath have been lost to other development, the need to acquire right of ways, physical obstacles and lack of local support.

The cost of closing these gaps is estimated at $50 mil-lion, but trail supporters say the investment would more than pay off. The idea to have a statewide Canalway Trail has been around for nearly 40 years.

”It’s not a small job that we’re looking at, but when the Canalway Trail is completed, it will be the longest intra-state trail in the nation,” said Alan Vincent, president of CTANY.

According to CTANY’s report, once connected, the trail could draw 100,000 multi-day bicycle tourists an-nually and contribute $120 million a year to the upstate

economy. The trail is already a long-distance attraction, attracting 500 people each July to Canalway Trail Trek bicycle tour from Buffalo to Albany. As of this July’s tour, bikers have come from all 50 states to ride.

“This group believes that the Erie Canalway Trail in particular has what it takes to become a truly global bicycle tourism destination, but in order to achieve that, it’s got to

be a complete trail,” said PTNY Project Director Wally Elton. “People aren’t going to come great distances to ride pieces of it. They’re interested in the whole thing.”

Trail supporters added that connecting the trail would bring the recreational and health benefits of the trail enjoyed by residents of Camillus to more communities. It could also lead to the creation of rest stops, repair stops and tour stops along the way.

The estimated $50 million does not factor in the Syracuse to Camillus gap, nor does it include the cost of maintenance; statewide; as in Camillus, the trail is kept up by dedicated volunteers alone.

The trail varies between paved and the stone dust sections (as found in Camillus) and CATNY plans to close the gaps with the less expensive stone dust, which provides “a good hard surface for biking,” Elton said.

A parallel trailFrances Gotcsik, Director of Programs for PTNY,

pointed out that just as the opening of the Erie Canal fos-tered development in the communities it touched, so has the building of the Canalway Trail.

“Everyone wanted to get a piece of the action and be as successful as all those Erie Canalway communities were becoming,” Gotcsik said.

Marlene Bissell, who represents the Champlain portion of the Canalway Trail, has seen this at work in Saratoga and Washington counties. She recently assisted in securing a $3 million grant to rehabilitate the abandoned Dix Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River, as part of the trail.

“The only reason that [funding] came in was because we were able to look at it in the context of … this little tiny piece as part of a statewide trail,” she said.

New York State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand met with PTNY and the NYS Canal Corporation in September to convene a roundtable discussion to considers way to com-plete the trail from Utica eastward. According to the report, the response from munipical, county and state officials as well as business and not-for-profit sectors was positive, and Gillibrand plans to hold addition sessions in the Central and Western New York along the canal corridor.

“Closing the Gaps: A Progress Report on the Erie Canalway Trail” can be read in its entirety on the Parks & Trails New York website, ptny.org.

By Phil Blackwell [email protected]

Kevin McAvoy, a central figure in Westhill’s baseball team earning its sec-ond consecutive state Class B champion-ship, is heading for the Division I ranks.

McAvoy has committed to Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I., signing his letter of intent Wednesday afternoon in a ceremony at the Westhill High School library.

As a junior, McAvoy missed the early part of the season due to injury, but was healed by the time Westhill hit the Sec-tion III playoffs. From there, he took over, winning five of the Warriors’ post-season games (including a sectional finals win over state no. 1-ranked Bishop Ludden) and closing out the state final.

McAvoy was recruited to Bryant by its new head coach, Steve Owens, who served as coach at LeMoyne College (and before that, at SUNY-Cortland) before going to Bryant this summer.

Overall for 2010, McAvoy had a 7-1 record and, in 52 innings of work, struck out 78 batters with a 0.55 earned run av-erage. He was a first-team All-OHSL Lib-erty division selection and second-team

All-Central New York and All-State.During the summer, McAvoy pitched

for the Syracuse Sports Zone Braves, and also was on the mound at the Empire State Games, helping the Central region team earn a silver medal. He also was a

reserve on Westhill’s 2010 state Class B championship basketball team and is an Honor Roll student and member of the National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society.

Marcellus girls return to state Class B final four


For the fifth time in eight years, the Marcellus girls soccer team will see its season end in the most exciting way possible – at the state Class B final four.

It took a pair of regional playoff victories for the Mustangs to make it back to the biggest stage of the season, culminat-ing with Saturday’s impressive 3-0 win over Section VII champion Peru at Plattsburgh High School.

To win its 17th game in a row, Marcellus turned to its expertise in set plays and, once again, relied on the finishing power of two players, junior Kathryn Busa and freshman Brielle Filtch, who have been standouts throughout the post-season.

Marcellus steadily controlled the flow of play until the 16th minute, when it earned a corner kick. Busa took it and sent a beautiful, curved ball that Peru goalie Demi Dayton never saw – until it had curled into the net to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead. The goal broke up a Peru shutout streak that had lasted more than 13 games.

Stunned by this, the Indians made a series of attacks to try and pull even, only to have Marcellus goalie Sophie Jackson handle every attempt, including Ashley Carpenter’s hard shot in the 28th minute.

Just four minutes before halftime, the Mustangs got a throw-in near the Indians’ net. Having worked on this all through the season, Marcellus knew what to do as Filtch delivered a beautiful cross to the middle – and Busa, timing it perfectly, headed the ball past Dayton to make it 2-0.

Busa and Filtch were not done, either. In the 57th minute, the Mustangs pushed again. This time, it was Busa providing the feed and Flitch converting, her hard shot crashing into the net to create the final margin.

All through the late stages, Marcellus had to play a fair amount of defense, too, as Peru took 11 shots. Jackson stopped everything that came to her, finishing with 14 saves and not letting the Indians get on the board.

The regional playoffs began last Tuesday, at West Genesee High School, where the Mustangs, now the state’s top-ranked Class B team, had full control against Section II champion Chatham, shutting out the Panthers 2-0.

Chatham was an unlikely entry, having upset long-time power Maple Hill in its sectional finals. But this didn’t faze Marcellus, who proved bigger, faster and, ultimately, more productive on the same Camillus turf where it beat Ska-neateles in the Section III Class B semifinals a week earlier.

Steadily, the Mustangs applied pressure from the opening kickoff, missing on the early chances, but converting in the 16th minute. Jessie Nye picked off a clearing attempt from Chatham defender Victoria Bemiss and ran down the right side of the field. Nye passed it to the middle - where Busa beat Panthers goalie Brittany Lossow.

With that 1-0 lead, Marcellus patiently worked through the game’s middle stages, anchored again by its defense. Se-niors Annie Dailey, Emily Pawliewicz and Jessie Manahan broke up any attempt by Chatham to work into the Mustangs’ end, and goalie Sophie Jackson only had to make one save.

Despite this, the Panthers put up a brave effort and were still within range until the final stages. Earning another corner kick with 7:13 to play, the Mustangs saw Becca Nolan feed it to the middle and Lizzy Dean put a nifty low shot into the net, doubling the margin and ending the suspense.

The regional finals win over Peru sends Marcellus to the state final four. The Mustangs will face the Long Island champion (Center Moriches or Cold Spring Harbor) Friday in the state semifinals at 9 a.m. at Homer High School. The winner gets Greece Odyssey or Bronxville in Saturday’s final at 9 a.m. at SUNY-Cortland.

Four previous times, the Mustangs have reached the state title game, winning it all in 2003 and 2004, but losing the finals in 2005 and 2007.

mother Elizabeth Garn. “They were inspired by how much he enjoyed the sport, and he did really well.”

The Garns have impacted the sport at Marcellus ever since joining the team. Led by Jesse and with the added spark of Justin, the boys cross country team closed out October with an undefeated record. With Rachel leading as a fresh-man, the girls had their best season in

a long time. “There has been a lot of growth and

development, as a team and individual-ly,” said Oscar Jensen, who has coached both teams for seven years.

The Garns have found a sense of ac-complishment and discipline from run-ning; all three have been involved with other sports that did not quite fit into what helps them succeed individually.

“I like when I run and I can just free my mind,” Rachel said. “It’s like the same thing you feel after a hard workout. You

just get a sense of accomplishment.”Cross country also takes a great

amount of endurance and discipline, something the entire Garn family has come to appreciate.

“It’s a healthy sport,” Elizabeth said. “They have all grown truly because of their experiences with other kids from other states and schools. It is inspiring for the rest of the family as well.”

Elizabeth and husband Mark have tried their best to support the kids and their teams, as well as those competing against them.

“It’s great to just encourage everyone because it’s such a hardworking sport,” Elizabeth said. “I love to support all of them because it is amazing for these kids to be able to do what they do.”

The encouragement spreads throughout the entire family, including to oldest sibling Sarah, who is unable to walk or speak.

The youngest, Emma, is becoming a sports fanatic of her own through soccer and dance.

After closing out an impressive season with the Mustangs, the Garns plan to continue to grow individually as runners. With heavy pressures of college deadlines for Jesse, improving his running for Justin, and preparing for the upcoming basketball season for Rachel, the Garns look forward to the thrill of running in the offseason.

Mustangs take fourth at state Class B meet

Nora Barry will play for Florida Gators next fall

By Dave Taddeo

Once a Mustang, always a Mustang. Or, in Nora Barry’s case, once a Mustang, soon to be Gator, too.

Nora signed a letter of intent to play la-crosse at the University of Florida during a ceremony held in the Marcellus Senior High School library Wednesday Nov. 10.

Those looking on with excitement and pride included Patty Barry (mother), Tim Barry (father), Agnes Barry (Grandmother), Rich Roth (Uncle), Joanne Barry (Aunt), Liam Barry ( Brother), Emmett Barry (Brother), Lynn Connors (family friend), Bradford Dates (Marcellus Athletic Director) and Dick Lundblad (coach). Also joining in on the celebration were Marcellus varsity

girls’ lacrosse teammates Jill Reichel, Emily Hennigan, Allie DiStefano, Renee Poullott, Molly McGuane, Faith Seeley, Alanna Todd and Grace Nolan.

Nora has amassed an impressive resume of both athletic and academic accomplish-ments which include:

3 197 career goals, 47 career assists and 337 career grounded balls

3 Varsity letters in Cross Country and Indoor Track

3 2010 United States Lacrosse All Ameri-can

3 2010 United States Lacrosse Academic All American

WG’s Laura Leff finishes fourth, JE’s Greg Bader takes 12th


With a fair amount of ambition, the Mar-cellus boys cross country team went in hot pursuit of a state Class B championship.

However, the Mustangs, despite great runs from Ryan Manahan and Jesse Garn, could only manage a fourth-place finish. Marcellus tied with Maine-Endwell with 108 points, but lost the tie-breaker for third as East Aurora won (72 points) and Bayport/Bluepoint (92 points) finished second.

Manahan, a sophomore, kept close to the leaders all race long on the 3.1-mile Lakeside Park and ultimately took third place in 16 minutes, 32.8 seconds. Not far behind, Garn, a senior, finished in 16:38.8 and claimed fifth place.

Both Manahan and Garn finished before any East Aurora runner, but all five of the Blue Devils’ top competitors got to the line before the Mustangs’ third finisher, Joe Fal-lon, who was 39th in 17:23 flat. John Bell finished 67th, in 17:59 flat, while Justin Garn (18:22.0) and Mike Epp (19:44) rounded out the scoring. Eric Morris finished in 19:30.8.

Westhill finished 10th in the boys state Class A race. Peter Lynch was 79th, in 18:20 flat, ahead of teammate Jonathan Moore

in 88th (18:36.9). Casey Bunce (18:57.3) and Mitchell Lamb (18:57.7) finished close together ahead of Will Downs (19:13.0), Zach Van Ornam (19:27.0) and Alec Walsh (19:36.9).

In Class AA, West Genesee’s Billy Ga-briel had a strong showing, as he ran to 24th place in a time of 16:37.9. Just behind, Wildcat teammate John DeLallo was 55th in 17:06.2 as, at the top, Cicero-North Syracuse’s Chris Buchanan (15:55.9) edged Saratoga Springs’ Sam Place by less than a second.

Jordan-Elbridge’s Greg Bader proved to be a major contender in the Class C individual race, as he claimed 12th place in 17:06.8 as Holland Patent’s twin threat of Dylan Racha (16:05.5) and Cody Racha (16:05.8) went 1-2 and CBA’s Brendan Smith was third in 16:22.1.

Moving to the girls state meet, West Genesee’s Laura Leff had a superb effort in the Class AA race, streaking her way to fourth place in a time of 17:59.2. Leff finished behind Fayetteville-Manlius teammates Christie Rutledge (17:31.0) and Jillian Fanning (17:46.1), with Cicero-North Syracuse’s Maria LaMontagne third in 17:46.1

Westhill/Bishop Ludden’s Jessica Curry finished 38th in the girls Class A race in 20:06.7, with Betsey Black 45th in 20:23 flat. In Class B, Marcellus freshman Rachel Garn earned 24th place in 20:25.8, with sophomore Maggie Dunn 36th in 20:44.5 and sophomore Molly McGuane 74th in 21:55.4.

Library From page 3

– that for charity fundraising events in the village, like Feb Fest, non-profit organizations such as the library could be considered as recipients of funds.

“That was just a thought off the top of my head,” she said. “And I do know that it makes you guys sick and that you have been library supporters.”

“I think the library is an integral part of the village and it’s a wonderful service,” Montero said. “And anyone can walk in and get information.”

Montero continued: “I can assure you that assisting the library is not something that I’ve just completely dropped off my plate. If we are able to … if we get to that point where we can do that again, absolutely.”

The library receives the bulk of its funding from the town of Camillus – around $150,000 yearly – and also receives $78,000 from the school district’s tax levy. Benson said los-ing $10,000 won’t break the bank for the library, but still makes a difference.

“Because we’re small, every little bit helps,” Benson told the Observer, adding that for the library’s upcoming budget, they had to scale back on book, AV materials and magazines.

“I know they’re in a big crunch over there,” she said. “You can always hope, and I figured it’s my job to get my library

in front of them to remind them. If you don’t ask, chances are they won’t do it.”

Benson stressed that dollars given to libraries can go a long way because of their lending nature.

“With libraries, let’s say you spend a dollar on a book. Then 100 people can read that book,” Benson said. “Where-as you give a dollar to somebody else to buy a book, then one person gets a book.”

The 2011 budget was not approved at Tuesday’s hearing, as officials need to figure in the added expense of partici-pating in the Onondaga County MS4 program. The village had budgeted $500 for MS4 obligations, and the program would require a $3,500 contribution.

Montero discussed various ways that the village could save money in the near future, including having its tax bills printed by an independent company rather than the county, which charges the village roughly $1,000, at $2 per bill, for the service. Stanczyk estimated a savings of $800 could come out of that switch. The village is also leaning toward switching to a less expensive healthcare provider.

Kirk explains plans for LED signDick Kirk, the developer who renovated the property at

55 Main St., came to the meeting to explain his plan to install a 7-foot wide LED sign in the village of Camillus.

“I guess there was concern about the brightness of the

sign,” Kirk said. “This LED sign is programmable from a laptop computer, so you can vary the brightness.”

Kirk said it would not be to his advantage to have it bright because of the high cost to do so.

Village Attorney Steven Primo asked Kirk if he would be willing to work with the board on the sign, considering that Kirk obtained the sign permit before the new overlay zoning district, which gives the village stronger jurisdiction over signage, was in place.

‘That’s no problem; I’ll work with anybody,” Kirk said. “I’m going to let other business as well as the village use the sign, too.”

The sign will advertise Kirk’s restaurant at 55 Main, Krabby Kirk’s Saloon, which he hopes to have open by the first week in December – and at the very latest, Dec. 30.

“Otherwise I lose my liquor permit,” Kirk said.

Overlay District approvedThe board approved Local Law Number One of 2010,

creating a zoning overlay district in the village of Camil-lus.

Changes in zoning were made to encourage the develop-ment of structures and uses that are compatible with their surroundings in the village, with an emphasis on attractive storefronts. The law also allows the village to enforce histori-cally consistent front and attractive rear entrances.
