DRAW BATTLE: Liverpool midfielder Mason Gridley (7) fights for the face-off with Baldwinsville’s Josh Armpriester (32) during last Tuesday’s game. The Bees prevailed by a score of 10-9. by Phil Blackwell From all that it learned the first time around, the Liverpool boys lacrosse team nearly managed to catch Baldwinsville in their rematch last Tuesday night at LHS Stadium. And though the Bees pulled it out, 10-9, the closeness of the outcome added new suspense to the rest of the season as Liverpool proved that it could snare the sectional Class A title from the reigning state champions. Having lost 17-7 at B’ville on April 13, Liverpool, who had won five in a row since that game, found, in the rematch, a bit more success against the Bees’ defense. More importantly, it did a far better job of containment. Owen Salanger, with his 10 saves, turned back half the direct shots he faced and kept many of the Bees’ top players quiet. However, five goals from Keegan Lynch and four goals from Brady Garcia, plus a tally by Carson Dyl, overcame Liverpool’s more balanced effort. Dom Osbeck scored three times,
with Joe Sacco getting two goals and three assists. Aaron Clouthier also had three assists as he, along with Owen Michaud, Bradley Cole and Gavin Kenna, had single goals. Two nights later, with a chance on its home turf to pull off a season sweep of West Genesee, Liverpool could not pull it off, outscored by the Wildcats in an 18-12 decision. During an exciting, back-andforth first half, Liverpool forged a 10-9 advantage led by Osbeck, who eventually finished with five goals to pass the 100-career point mark. Clouthier added three goals, with Sacco and Owen Michaud combining for five assists to go with their lone tallies. WG took control, though, with a 7-2 push through the third quarter and blanked Liverpool in the final period, with Liam Burns proving unstoppable thanks to his seven goals and six assists that overcame Salanger’s 14 saves. Cicero-North Syracuse would face B’ville on Thursday, still reeling a week later from the fact that its main
scoring threat, Mason Ciciarelli, had torn his ACL during a seven-goal effort against West Genesee. Here, the Northstars would not get on the board in a 13-0 defeat as three Bees goalies – Nick Cary, Trevor Sutton and Brandon Dusky – combined to stop all 12 of C-NS’s shots. It was 10-0 by halftime, the Bees ultimately seeing Brady Garcia leading the attack, backing up his pair of goals with three assists as Garrett Sutton found the net four times and Carson Dyl had three goals and one assist. All of this followed the Northstars’ struggles in last Tuesday’s 12-4 defeat to Fayetteville-Manlius, a team it beat 13-12 at Bragman Stadium back in April. But without Ciciarrelli, C-NS went through plenty of long droughts and, aside from Elijah Martin’s hat trick, got a single goal from Ian Leahey as Emmit Porter and Tyler Milewski got assists. F-M, who had seen its own star forward (T.J. Conley) get lost for the season in April, had adjusted. John Lacrosse l Page 12

Backyard gunshots lead to arrest Deputies charge Oswego Street resident with five felonies By Russ Tarby Shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, May 5, the Onondaga County 911 Center received a call reporting that a man was firing a gun in his yard. One of the rounds struck the caller’s house. Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Office deputies and Liverpool Police Department officers arrived at the suspect’s home at 1205 Oswego St., near the corner of Meyers Road.
While the LPD officers handled traffic control, deputies attempted to make contact with the man, but he declined to respond. When he refused to exit the house, deputies determined that the man was unlikely to comply. “The situation could have been dangerous, so 911 was notified to make a reverse call to the neighbors,” Tom Newton, the sheriff ’s office public information officer, said. The Onondaga County Swat
Unit was activated and responded. Sheriff ’s negotiators contacted the man and stayed on the phone with him during the evening. “It was evident that the man was not going to leave his residence so the swat unit made entry to the house after a warrant was issued by a judge,” Newton said. Deputies apprehended the man about 1 a.m. Saturday. He was identified as Luigi Gunshots l Page 11

Jecenia Bresett
Hi, I’m Jecenia Bresett, proud mother of three – a daughter in 11th grade and boy/girl twins in 7th. A lifelong learner, activist and go-getter, I’ve spent time as a successful entrepreneur, non-profit founder, author and more. Today, I serve as VP of the Chestnut Hill PTO, working to bring critical afterschool programming to students, regardless of income. In this role, I also lead fundraising efforts to support student enrichment field trips; successful and affordable school events; our school’s food pantry and teachers’ endeavors around creativity and inclusivity. I’m running for the board of education because it’s time to meet teachers, staff and students where they are; to provide meaningful support for the many challenges they face today. I want to challenge the district to think outside of the box to improve communications in schools and help students and educators feel seen, heard, and comfortable enough to share ideas with their peers for optimal learning and growth. I’m passionate about building youth confidence; promoting creativity and respect; encouraging
connections; and supporting mental health needs. I ask the tough questions, and do the hard work, ACTION-oriented and always roll up my sleeves ready to volunteer. Thank you in advance for your support!
Stacey Chilbert
My name is Stacey Chilbert. My husband Dan and I have lived in Liverpool with our four children for 29 years. Dan has also taught in the district for 29 years and is currently teaching 6th grade. As for myself, I worked as a nurse at St Joseph’s Hospital and Home Care for 18 years. When our children were little, I volunteered for the PTO, in the classroom, and as a Girl Scout Leader for 17 years. More recently, I’ve been volunteering to make sure free quality eye care is available to all who need it. Looking for ways to help others and ensuring that everyone has a voice has always been something I’ve truly enjoyed. I would be honored to be a part of the Liverpool Board of Education and continue doing just that. Working together, this district can be an equitable, safe, and welcoming environment for all who attend school and work here. Please vote for me to allow me the privilege of working toward that end, and I will make sure the community is heard while working to support our children academically, socially and in a fiscally responsible way.
