St. Joseph School in Auburn will close at the end of the academic year in June 2020, the Catholic Diocese of Rochester announced in a press release on Wednesday night.

The diocese said the closure is because of "years of declining enrollment and accompanying financial difficulties" at the school on East Genesee Street.

For this academic year, enrollment at St. Joseph is at a historic low of 93 students in pre-K through eighth grade and, according to the diocese, enrollment was projected to further decline.

According to the press release, the request to close the school was jointly made 鈥渨ith sadness and regret鈥� by the pastors and parochial vicars of the Auburn parishes in a letter to Bishop Salvatore R. Matano. Pastors and parochial vicars recommended the closure, citing 鈥渟evere financial difficulty鈥� in continuing to use the Auburn parishes鈥� resources to subsidize the school's operation. Enrollment has declined by about 25 students each year for the past several years, the diocese said.

Matano accepted the recommendation after consultation in early November with the Presbyteral Council, made up of priests from throughout the diocese who advise the bishop. Also consulting was the College of Consultors and the diocesan school board.

鈥淚 remain firm in my commitment to Catholic schools,鈥� Matano said in the release, 鈥渨ith the hope that parents will choose a Catholic school education for their children so that increased enrollments will strengthen our Catholic schools. I truly empathize with the St. Joseph School community who desired a Catholic school education, but the low enrollment, the financial burden on the parishes and the depleted resources do not make this possible. I pray for their understanding and cooperation at this difficult time.鈥�

The school was originally formed in 1973 as Blessed Trinity School, a result of the merging St. Alphonsus, Holy Family and St. Mary鈥檚 schools. Students from St. Hyacinth鈥檚 School joined in 1990. The presence of Catholic schools in Auburn dates back to at least 1867, when St. Mary's started.

In a public letter to the Auburn Catholic Community, the priests of the Auburn parishes, the Rev. Frank Lioi, the Rev. John Gathenya, the Rev. Michael Brown and the Rev. Justin Miller said, 鈥淲e know that news of the closure effective at the end of the school year in June 2020 will cause considerable sorrow and pain, not only for those families who are currently enrolled at St. Joseph鈥檚 School, but also for the countless others who have benefited from Catholic education in its long and remarkable history in Auburn. We, too, share in your sadness. Let us come together as a community of faith to not only mourn the loss of this beloved institution, but also to find ways to celebrate all the precious memories.鈥澛�

James Tauzel, interim diocesan schools superintendent, said in the release, 鈥淚 am very grateful for the commitment to our children shown by Principal Mary Jo Keba and the teachers, staff and school families. All those involved at St. Joseph School through these many years have been tremendously dedicated to our students. The school may close, but wonderful memories will endure for those who passed through its doors and left well prepared spiritually and academically to make a difference in their community.鈥�

"Nothing matters more to me than protecting the well-being of my four children, who have already endured significant trauma in their young lives聽鈥� and accordingly I request that our privacy be respected during this difficult time.

"I have spent years advocating for real victims of domestic violence, and will continue to do so with renewed enthusiasm.鈥�

State police are investigating the discovery of a vehicle found submerged in the Seneca River near Cross Lake on Friday afternoon.

The call came in about 12:45 p.m. to an area just west of the lake, at the border of the towns of Elbridge and Cato. Divers were in the water where the back window and roof of a vehicle could be seen sticking out of the water next to a dock at the Cross Lake Boat Club.

State police said they could not comment on whether there were any people inside the vehicle, but said that there was not an active rescue attempt happening Friday.

In addition to state police, responders were at the scene from Jordan Fire Department, the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office, state Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and state Department of Environmental Conservation Police.

The Auburn Police Department said the victim in Friday's deadly shooting on the city's west side was a 36-year-old man.

Police on Saturday that said Joshua A. Poole, of Auburn, was the victim in the homicide at 8 Delevan St. Police said the shooting occurred at 2:10 a.m. Friday. Poole was transported to Auburn Community Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.聽

An autopsy investigation is underway by the Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office, police said.

The investigation into the shooting continues and police have not announced any arrests or any specific details about suspects. The APD is working with New York State Police, the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office and the Cayuga County District Attorney's Office on the probe and is "following dozens of leads," according to Saturday's press release.

Officials also are asking for the public's help. Anyone with information should call (315) 255-4726, email tips to communitywatch@auburnny.gov or send tips to the APD through its Facebook page, . Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Because the scene of the shooting was located 0.2 miles away from Genesee Elementary School, police communicated with Auburn Enlarged City School District Officials on Friday morning about the incident and informed officials that they did not "perceive any imminent threat" in the neighborhood during school hours.

Later Friday morning, several law enforcement officers from the multiple agencies responded to Holley Street, where a car that had been the subject of a "be on the lookout" alert was stopped. At least one person was taken into custody, but police declined to provide specifics on that situation other than to say it was "related on the peripheral of the (shooting) investigation."

Thanksgiving is a day to spend with family.

And though she'll be hours away from home entertaining a television audience that morning, Madalaina Raymond will still be spending the day with some of hers.

Madalaina, 15, will travel from Moravia to New York City on Saturday to dance in the 93rd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She's one of 22 teenage students in the Armstrong School of Dance, of Ithaca, who will make the trip. Under the banner of the Spirit of America Dance Stars, they'll perform with about 500 other dancers from top schools across the country.

Speaking to 新加坡多多开奖记录 Tuesday, Madalaina said she's excited to share the national stage with her fellow Armstrong students.

"My studio is amazing. The bonds we create there are like a second family," she said. "It's something I never want to leave."

The daughter of Madeline and Shawn Raymond, Madalaina has been dancing since she could walk, she said. Her mother has also danced her entire life, and now teaches at Armstrong.

Madalaina began taking dance classes when she was 2 or 3. Today, the Moravia High School sophomore takes eight classes at Armstrong. They span all styles, she said, but jazz is her favorite.

Dancing leaves Madalaina little time for other activities, though she and her mother will choreograph the Moravia school musical, "9 to 5," in March. And though she isn't sure whether she'll try to dance professionally, the 15-year-old plans to at least join a club or team when she goes to college in a few years.

"It's definitely in my future one way or another," she said.

Karen Armstrong Gorsky, director of the Ithaca school, said Madalaina dances with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.

"She's just a firecracker when she's performing," Gorsky said. "A lot of energy."

Jazz also happens to be the style of the Christmas-themed dance Madalaina will perform at the Macy's parade.

She and her fellow Armstrong students 鈥� who come from Ithaca, Lansing and other surrounding areas 鈥� will spend six days in Manhattan. They'll not only rehearse six hours a day with nationally known choreographers, but also tour the city, shop, see "Frozen: The Musical" on Broadway and more. Madeline said Spirit of America keeps the dancers busy, and assigns them chaperones.

This will be the fifth time Gorsky has sent dancers to the parade over the past 12 years, she said.

"For them to bring their talents from our small town to a big stage like New York City is a great self-esteem builder for them, and carries them onto a broader spectrum of the dance world," she said.

Thursday will be the first Macy's parade for Madalaina. She said she's a little nervous about the wintry November weather in Manhattan, but otherwise excited to perform along the 2.6-mile route through Midtown and see the entertainers and floats up close. The parade is watched by about 3.5 million people in person, and more than 50 million on television and streaming video.

For years, Madalaina was one of them. Watching the parade is a family tradition, she said. But this year, she'll be on the other side of it 鈥� with her other family.

The Auburn Police Department said on Saturday there will be a joint press conference Monday to update the public on its investigation into the homicide death of a city resident on Nov. 15.

The APD has been investigating the shooting death of Joshua A. Poole, 36, that happened around 2:10 a.m. at 8 Delevan St., which is on the city's west side just off Genesee Street. While the APD didn't say Saturday if anyone has been charged in connection with the investigation, Chief Shawn Butler said "there is no longer an active search for suspects."

The Monday morning press conference will include representatives of the law enforcement agencies that have been working with APD on the case. Those include the New York State Police, Cayuga County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Marshals Service and Cayuga County District Attorney's Office.

Butler also confirmed that the discovery of a vehicle mostly submerged in the Seneca River in Cato on Friday is connected to the case, but said further information on that link will be included in Monday's announcement.

Another related development took place later in the day on Nov. 15. Several law enforcement officers from the multiple agencies responded to Holley Street in Auburn, where a car that had been the subject of a "be on the lookout" alert was stopped. At least one person was taken into custody, but police declined to provide specifics on that situation other than to say it was "related on the peripheral of the (shooting) investigation."

AUBURN聽鈥� An Auburn woman will serve the same prison sentence as her son, who was also convicted for selling cocaine.

Chelsee Riker, 45, admitted on Aug. 27 in Cayuga County Court that she sold cocaine in April 2018. That admission allowed her to enter a guilty plea to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class B felony.

Her son, 23-year-old聽Marc Rescignano, pleaded guilty to the same charge. He was sentenced one week before his mother, on Nov. 12, to serve two years in prison followed by two years of post-release supervision.

At the time of Rescignano's guilty plea in July, Cayuga County Assistant District Attorney Joshua Bennett said聽that Riker sold cocaine with her son and Tyler Kopack.

However, the conditional sentence promised to Riker, of 47 Clymer St., was to serve no more than four years in prison, said District Attorney Jon Budelmann in court on Tuesday.

Budelmann requested that Judge Mark Fandrich impose a full four-year sentence, saying that Riker didn't show remorse in the pre-sentence report prepared by the probation department. He also said she admitted in the report to giving someone heroin as a favor.

In regard to the pre-sentence report, defense counsel John Price argued, "She does accept responsibility for the charge she pled to," and聽asked for a three-year prison sentence.

Fandrich ultimately granted Riker a shock camp order with her two-year prison sentence and ordered her to pay a mandatory $325 surcharge.聽

Price, noting that there were a "range of possible outcomes," asked if Riker could receive a one-week adjournment to take care of her business and personal affairs 鈥斅燼 request that Fandrich denied.

Riker was wiping away tears throughout the proceeding, but began sobbing when the adjournment was denied. "I can't believe this is happening," she said after her sentencing.

Also in court:

鈥� Two men who were separately indicted on charges of second-degree attempted rape and first-degree attempted disseminating indecent material to minors appeared in court on Tuesday.

Criminal defense attorney Melissa Swartz, of Team Green Lawyers in Syracuse, argued motions on behalf of clients Joseph Gibbons, 56, and Jerrad Hoey, 40. Attorney Scott Brenneck, of the same firm, was also representing them.

A copy of Gibbons's indictment alleges that he attempted on May 17 to "engage in sexual intercourse" with a New York State Police officer he believed to be a person younger than 15 years old.

The alleged crime is described as happening at or near the Town of Brutus. Gibbons, of 8093 Verbeck Drive, Manlius, is also accused of sending messages that described or depicted sexual conduct "which was harmful to a person he believed to be a minor," according to the indictment.

A copy of Hoey's indictment also alleges that, on May 17 at or near the Town of Brutus, he attempted to engage in sexual intercourse with a state police officer he believed to be a person younger than 15 years old.

Hoey, of 114 Dorando Way, Liverpool, is accused of sending sexually explicit text messages to someone he believed was younger than 15 years old.

According to a court document, bail is set at $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond for Gibbons and $25,000 or $50,000 bond for Hoey. Both defendants made bail, according to the document.

Gibbons and Hoey are scheduled to appear in court again on Jan. 21.

For the first time since 2015, there will be a Republican on the Auburn City Council.聽

Timothy Locastro received the second-most votes in the five-person race to win an Auburn City Council seat. Locastro, a Republican, will join the council in January.聽

The race was decided after the Cayuga County Board of Elections completed the absentee ballot count. On election night, Locastro was ahead by 29 votes over Dia Carabajal, an incumbent Democrat who sought another four-year term on the council.聽

According to the Cayuga County Board of Elections, Locastro netted 160 votes during the absentee count. Jimmy Giannettino, a Democrat, received 141. Carabajal added 140 to her total.聽

When combined with the election night tally, Giannettino led the field with 3,316 votes. He was re-elected to serve a second four-year term on the council. Locastro received 2,986 votes to beat Carabajal, who picked up 2,937 votes, by a 49-vote margin.聽

"It feels great. It really does. We worked hard," Locastro said in a phone interview Wednesday. "The people in the city supported me and it paid off."聽

Carabajal called Locastro to concede the race after the elections board completed the absentee count. Locastro said he has "a lot of respect" for Carabajal and believes she did a good job on the council.聽

On her campaign Facebook page, Carabajal posted a statement congratulating Locastro and thanking her family and friends for their support.聽

"The past four years have been an exciting time for the city of Auburn," she wrote. "I am proud of the progress we have made and am proud to have been a part of a great city organization. I firmly believe that the future is shining bright for Auburn!"聽

When Locastro is sworn in Jan. 1, he will be the first Republican on the council in five years. John Camardo and Peter Ruzicka were the last Republicans to serve as city councilors. They were defeated for re-election in 2015 by Carabajal and Giannettino.聽

While Locastro will be the only Republican on the Democratic-controlled council, he plans to work with his colleagues "for the benefit of the city."聽

"I'm ready," he added.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of the story listed the incorrect vote totals for the candidates. Locastro received 2,986 votes and Carabajal received 2,937 votes.聽
