Village loses decades of experience By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com
Four village of Baldwinsville employees have opted to take part in an early retirement plan offered through New York State. Employing roughly 50 people (not including trustees, architectural review or planning board members), that is about 8 percent of the village’s work force. “How do you move on when you are losing decades of experience,� Mayor Joe Saraceni said about the recent string of retirements. While the loss of experience is a detriment to the village, Saraceni said he knows those who have retired provided thorough training to their replacements. Recent retirees include Village Clerk Rosemary Johnson, Department of Public Works Foreman Mace Markham and Baldwinsville Police Department communications officers Claudette Roller and Sue Ellis. Maureen Butler filled Johnson’s position and Dennis LaQuay filled Markham’s position; Roller See Retirement, page 11

Rob Andres wants to get people talking. The Baldwinsville resident and volunteer for Public Access Channel Baldwinsville (PAC-B) is coordinating “From the Hip,� a new program for the local television station designed to get people talking about local issues, as well as regional, national and global topics. “The idea is to have more active participation for local issues rather than one-way receiving,� Andres said. “It would be nice to have a highly interactive forum in Baldwinsville where people can gather and be part of the process.� Andres envisions several different segments: “Taking it to the Streets,� “The Lion’s Den� and “Good News.� “The Lion’s Den� would tackle heated issues in a round-table format featuring several participants, while the format of the “Good News� segment would be a commentary regarding positive events happening in and around Baldwinsville. With “Taking it to the Streets,� residents of all ages would respond on an individual basis to topics ranging from light-hearted to serious. While Andres has the structure of the program in place, as well as several topics he would like to address, he wants to create a panel of participants to get the show rolling. “I would like to get more people to take part,� he said, adding that he is also looking for feedback regarding local issues. “I want [the See Program, page 11

Opinion Editorial
Coping with grief this holiday season
There is no right or wrong way to handle the holidays. You may wish to follow family traditions, choose to change them, or just do things a little bit differently. HOPE for Bereaved offers the following advice to those grieving the loss of a loved one during the holiday season. aPlan ahead: Sit down with you loved ones and talk about what each wants to do for the holidays. Let relatives and friends know your decisions. aShopping: Shop by catalog, phone or Internet. Shop with a friend or ask someone to shop for you. Give gift certificates. Give a donation to a worthy cause in the name of the person who you would give a gift to. aBe careful of “shoulds;” do what is most helpful and important to you. Try to put balance in your life; get adequate rest, eat well, build in time to exercise, take a walk, pray, read and relax. aHoliday activities: Consider cutting back on baking (buy baked goods or do without), decorating, (use fewer decorations or ask family or friends to decorate, cleaning (top clean, it is not necessary to scrub), cards (send less or not at all). aHoliday dinner: You may wish to stay busy fixing a big meal, but consider making some changes. Serving buffet style, eating at a different time or eating in a different room may help. You might consider going to another’s home for dinner. aReligious services: Attend at a different time or place. Turn to your faith – try to concentrate on the meaning of the season. aExpress feelings: Don’t push down tears. Build in a time to cry. Keep a journal. aAsk for and accept help: Share your concerns, feelings and apprehensions with an understanding friend. Plan special times with people with whom you are comfortable. aHelp others: Volunteer at a soup kitchen, visit the lonely and shut-ins. Invite someone who is alone to share the day with you. Provide food/gifts for the needy. And remember you can call HOPE (at 475-4673) when you need a good listener, information about support groups, suggestions for coping or to make an appointment for counseling. Help is only a phone call away.

Update regarding district budget development This fall I held four community budget input meetings, two staff budget input meetings, and I met with members of the Joint PTA to listen to concerns and ideas pertaining to the 2011-12 budget. I believe it is essential to build a budget that addresses our students’ instructional needs, as well as what the community feels is important to their education, all while minimizing the financial impact on our taxpayers. Thank you to everyone who attended a meeting and to those who have e-mailed me or called me with their concerns and comments. Your input is vital. The Board of Education shares the belief that we must create our budget with community input, so at board meetings from Jan. 24 to March 28, the budget discussion will be opened to the public for questions and comments after the board’s discussion. At each meeting, administrators will present a different component of the budget. The budget calendar is as follows: Jan. 24 – Transportation, facilities and debt service; Feb. 7 - Athletics, review of transportation, facilities and debt service; Feb. 14 – Special education, review of athletics; March 7 – Instructional, review of special education; March 21 – Review of instructional; March 28 – Administrative recommended budget; and April 4 – Board of Education adopts budget. I encourage all school district residents to attend these meetings and to ask questions during the public comment period of the budget discussion. Board meetings are conducted at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of Durgee Junior High School. Emergency closings According to the calendar, winter won’t be officially here until the end of the month, but it sure feels like it’s already here some days. Before we are knee-deep into the snow season,

I would like to remind everyone that when it is necessary to close school due to weather conditions, I will be using the ConnectEd messaging service, as well as the local television and radio stations, to inform the community. Whenever school is cancelled or will be closing early, the information will also be posted on the home page of the district’s website, bville.org. Please keep in mind that if school is cancelled for the day, all activities at the schools are cancelled for the day as well. New e-mail service To enhance district communications, we are in the process of creating an e-mail system with OCM BOCES that community members can subscribe to in order to have district news delivered to their e-mail addresses. We are creating several news categories, including one for district news and one for each of our eight schools. You will be able to sign up for any and all categories of news. This is not the ConnectEd service, which is the district’s emergency messaging system. The ConnectEd service is only available to parents and district staff. The new system we are developing will allow all school district residents with email addresses to receive news from the district and our schools. Once the service is up and running, we will be sending out information on how to subscribe in a future district newsletter, on our website, and through the local newspapers. Stay tuned!
it must be something in the water. I say, “It’s great students, supportive parents and hard working coaches!” Five varsity teams - football, boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, girls’ volleyball and field hockey are Section 3 Champions. Shaun Thompson is the Section 3 Boys’ Cross Country Individual Champion, and he came in third place in state competition, despite losing one of his shoes at the beginning of the competition. He also finished in second place at the New York State Federation Boys’ Cross Country meet. And eighth-grader Rachael Miller placed 55th in the girls’ state cross country competition, an impressive accomplishment for an eighth-grader, especially since it was her first time in state competition. Our girls’ field hockey team participated in regional competition, girls’ soccer played in the state semifinals, boys’ soccer played in the finals of the New York State Championships, our football team played in the state semi-finals, and our girls’ volleyball team brought home a state champion title! What an incredible season for our athletes. Thank you to our coaches for their guidance, hard work and determination. And thank you to all of our parents for their dedication and commitment to their children’s extracurricular activities. The winter athletic season has just begun, and I wish all of our winter athletes a great season.

in El Salvador on Nov. 16, 1989 by soldiers trained by Fort Benning military personnel, protesters have stood at the gate in mid November demanding the closure of this School of Assassins. Those six Jesuits had been outspoken advocates for the poor and critics of human rights abuses committed by the Salvadorian government. This notorious U.S. Army School’s graduates continue to be linked to decades of documented human rights atrocities and massacres throughout Central and South America. The protesters have always been committed to the philosophy of non-violence and those who wanted to commit acts of civil disobedience were prepared to accept the consequences. Since 1990, there
have been close to 300 convictions of human rights activists who have served nearly 100 years of collective jail and prison time. The recent relationships marchers had with the Columbus police at times were cordial and respectful, but not this year as the federal, city and state authorities randomly accosted and arrested innocent bystanders. Twenty-four were arrested on city and state charges including unlawful assembly, failure to disperse and parading without a permit. Two were charged, but not taken into custody. Some were blockading the highway leading into Fort Benning with a sign that read, “Stop: This is the End of the Road for the SOA” and intended to be arrested. But many See Mailbag, page 5
From the mailbag Justice denied To the editor: A dark day for justice and fairness in the Muscogee County Courthouse in Columbus, Georgia occurred on Saturday Nov. 20 at Ft. Benning Georgia. Columbus Recorder’s Court Judge Michael Cielinski can only be described as a bully masquerading as a defender of blind justice. On Friday Nov. 19, 16 Central New Yorkers arrived in Columbus, Georgia once again to march in front of the gate at Fort Benning to protest the existence of the School of the Americas (a.k.a. Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation). Ever since the execution of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter

Opinion Mailbag From page 4 of those arrested were not intending to risk arrest but were swept up as they walked back to their cars after they left the permitted protest following the vigil on Saturday. These included four credentialed journalists and a Columbus, Georgia barber, who came out of his barbershop to take a photo of the protest. A minister from Tennessee walking sideby-side with his wife was arrested walking to his bus in the parking lot, but she was not. What these arrests reminded me was how justice was meted out to African-Americans in the south and continues to be to this very day throughout the United States. Anti-war advocates are presently facing the same treatment in Minnesota and Chicago. Justice on Sunday Nov. 21 was not based on fact, evidence or testimony, but determined by Judge Michael Cielinski before he entered the courtroom. The judge listened to the stories of the Columbus police who testified that they warned the marchers several times to move but the marchers never heard any warning save the directive to move to the sidewalk. Yet they were apprehended as they did. But never doubt our commitment because we will endure and never give up the struggle to shut down this killing facility for we know that peacemakers are blessed and they are called sons and daughters of God.

Support our troops this holiday season Are you buying a new cell phone for a family member or friend this holiday season as a gift? Do you have old cell phones lying around the house? Instead of throwing away that used cell phone, or stuffing it in a drawer, I urge you to think twice. By donating that phone to Cell Phones for Soldiers, it can help the men and women serving in the military overseas stay connected with their families. Once again, I kicked off the holiday season this year by calling on Central New Yorkers to support our troops by donating their used cell phones to Cell Phones for Soldiers. Our military men and women make a tremendous sacrifice for all of us. In return, let us show our appreciation and help them stay connected. What better gift to give than to help our troops reach their loved ones? Last year, Central New Yorkers showed an overwhelming amount of support and delivered more than 1,500 phones through this program. The generosity of our community provided 2,200 soldiers with a half hour of talk time each. I am proud to be able to contribute to a worthy cause and to give back to those men and women who make such incredible sacrifice for us all. Local residents can support the collection drive by delivering their used cell phones to my district office: 800 State Office Building, 333 East Washington St., Syracuse, NY 13202; or call 428-7632. Cell phones can also be brought to drop-off points at the information centers at Shoppingtown, Great Northern and Carousel malls, and to Solvay Public Library. The cell phone drive will run through January. Donated phones will be sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to a soldier abroad. About half of the phones ReCellular processes are reconditioned and resold to wholesale companies in more than 40 countries around the world. Phones and components that cannot be refurbished are dismantled and recycled to reclaim materials including gold, silver and platinum from circuit boards; copper wiring from phone chargers; nickel, iron, cadmium and lead from battery packs; and plastic from phone cases and accessories. Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass., with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas. Through increased fundraising efforts, the Bergquist family hopes to fund new programs, such as providing video phones and prepaid service to allow soldiers abroad to see their families on a regular basis. To find out more about the program, please visit cellphonesforsoldiers.com. May you have a happy and joyous holiday season.

The Baldwinsville Central School District has been reviewing and fine-tuning traffic changes on the district’s main campus. For safety reasons, and because of the closure of the high school’s main entrance for construction, the traffic pattern for buses in Baker High School’s bus loop has changed as of Dec. 1. Buses now enter the loop from the north end and exit at the south end, and then proceed to Durgee Junior High School. At the junior high school, buses enter the bus loop from the north end and exit the loop at the south end, on to Albert Palmer Lane to leave the district campus. Between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., visitors and parents dropping off and picking up students at the high school should not park in or enter the bus loop. Bus traffic is the only traffic allowed in the loop during these hours. For safety reasons, parents are asked to drop off and pick up their children in the parking lot behind the high school, rather than on the main road of the district campus. At Durgee Junior High School, parents are asked to drop off and pick up their children in the school’s main parking lot.

Village awards bid
Children’s Bizarre this Saturday
By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com
Village officials have awarded a $397,000 bid to Landmark Enterprises of Auburn to develop the Village Square project destined for the area where the old Harrington Firehouse once stood. The village received 13 bids from contractors ranging from $397,000 to $577,000. The bid covers excavation of the property, curbing and asphalt improvements, sidewalks and a central plaza. However, other details still need to be worked out. Village Engineer Tim Baker said the contractor may be better suited to do some work the department of public works originally intended to do, specifically installing catch basins for storm water drainage. He said a bulldozer is needed for the amount of earth that will have to be moved for installation, and the village doesn’t own one. Besides the drainage installation, the DPW will handle demolition, lighting for the square and the subsequent planting of trees and shrubs once construction is complete. Clerk’s office hours changed The hours of operation at the Village Clerk’s office has changed from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. partially to reflect hours of operation for other village offices and to allow residents the opportunity to do village business before going to work.

Proceeds from the sale are given back to the community through the following programs: Halloween window painting in downtown Baldwinsville, bicycle safety programs, Baldwinsville Central School District student of the month recognition, Pack 289 sponsorship and scholarships through the Baldwinsville Community Scholarship Foundation. Support this local organization and purchase a beautiful Christmas tree.
Donate hats, mittens, socks
Share the warmth from head to toe. The Baldwinsville Christmas Bureau will benefit from a community giving tree sponsored by the Baldwinsville Educational Support Professional Association (BESPA). Through Dec. 15, hats, mittens, gloves and socks for all ages (infants to adults) can be donated at the Baldwinsville Public Library, 33 E. Genesee St. in the village.
Messenger office hours The Messenger office is at 8 Mechanic St., Baldwinsville. Regular office hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. To schedule an appointment at an alternate time, please call Editor Erin Wisneski at 450-0904 or e-mail ewisneski@cnylink.com.
The Baldwinsville First United Methodist Church will host a children’s bizarre from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday Dec. 11 in the church’s basement, located at 17 West Genesee St. in the village. Children (10 and younger) can “shop in secret,” browsing through items ranging in price from 25 cents to one dollar, while parents wait close by enjoying refreshments in the church coffee house. Church members donated all the items available for purchase. Gift card tree Stop into the church and pick out an ornament from the gift card tree. Each ornament has a suggested gift card request (i.e. $25 Tops card) to be purchased and donated to the Baldwinsville Christmas Bureau. Ornaments can be “picked” through Sunday Dec. 12. ‘Sock out the cold’ Church members are collecting socks for all ages, which will be donated to the Baldwinsville Christmas Bureau. Drop sock donations off at the church office between now and Sunday Dec. 12 (socks for teens are especially needed). Help decorate the tree and “Sock out the cold.” Live Nativity On Dec. 19, the church will host its annual live nativity for the entire community to enjoy. Featuring real life people and animals portraying the events surrounding the birth of Christ, this is a program you don’t want to miss. This listing was compiled by Editor Erin Wisneski.

Mulroy Civic Center in Syracuse. Christina Kwiek, 17, is cast as Rudolph in the performance. A senior at Baker High School, Kwiek has 14 years of dance training at the Center of Ballet & Dance Arts and five years of performing in the production of “The Adventures of Rudolph.” She previously held roles as a soldier, elf, reindeer and Rudolph in the production.

This is Grade’s fifth year performing in the production of “The Adventures of Rudolph.” She previously held roles as a soldier, snowman and reindeer in the production. Synopsis It is a week before
Christmas and Santa’s elves are busy making presents. The evil Witch Winter Grey kidnaps the elves so that they might make presents just for her. Only Santa’s reindeer Rudolph can penetrate the gloom around the witch’s castle with his bright nose. When he arrives at the castle, he and the elves make a plan to escape from the witch. One of the gifts the elves make for the witch is a magic mirror of truth, which will show the witch what she really is - an ugly hag. The elves and Rudolph refuse to tell her the secret of the mirror until she agrees to release them and change her evil ways. The witch agrees and is transformed into the beautiful Witch Winter White. When the elves, Rudolph and Witch Winter White return to Santa’s workshop, it is Christmas Eve. They find Santa disheartened because there is no snow and the reindeer, who move through the air by stepping on snowflakes, will not be able to fly. Witch Winter White offers her help and begins her magical dance that fills the air with snowflakes. The reindeer can fly and Christmas

Conventional wisdom holds that kneereplacement surgery removes a significant barrier to exercising regularly, but recent research undermines this notion. A study of 106 knee-replacement patients shows that, two years after their procedures, two-thirds of the group had put on an average 12 pounds. (The remaining third lost an average of four pounds.) Moreover, the knee-replacement patients who gained weight also displayed weakened quadriceps (thigh) muscles. Increased body weight and weakened quadriceps muscles place added stress on both newly replaced and non-operated knees. To avoid the likelihood of having the other knee replaced, knee-replacement patients are strongly urged to follow their rehabilitation and exercise programs. Being sedentary and overweight
also raises the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. Knee replacement surgery is very successful, but the success of the procedure is partly due to the rehabilitation period that follows the surgery. Rehabilitation after knee replacement begins immediately. The emphasis in the early stages of rehab is to maintain motion of the knee replacement and to ensure that the patient can walk safely. If you or a family member needs physical therapy, please call our clinic at 315-476-3176 to schedule an appointment. We are proud to offer highly trained and experienced professionals to serve you. Our office is located at 207 Pine in Syracuse. Happy Holidays! P.S. If knee-replacement patients experience discomfort while exercising, they can try swimming, water aerobics, or upper-body exercises to get needed aerobic exercise.

Last chance for tax credit Federal program expires Dec. 31; energy savings won’t Procrastinators, beware. The federal energy tax credit that allows homeowners to qualify for up to $1,500 in tax credit savings when replacing old windows expires on Dec. 31, 2010. However, the day-to-day savings you get from replacing older windows will last for years to come. “Adding energy-efficient replacement windows to a home immediately helps lower everyday energy bills and increases a home’s long-term value and comfort,” saID Tom Kraeutler, host of the national home improvement radio show, “The Money Pit.” “There simply is no better time to take advantage of the government’s incentives to replace your worn-out windows.” Kraeutler notes that fast-acting homeowners can also receive up to $150 toward preparation of their 2010 personal income tax return with H&R Block when they purchase 12 or more qualifying energy-efficient Simonton windows before the end of 2010. “Homeowners can reduce their energy bills, qualify for up to $1,500 in federal energy tax credit with the company’s Energy Tax Credit (ETC) glass packages and get up to $150 toward tax preparation fees when making the decision to invest now in qualifying replacement windows,” said Kraeutler. “Those are three really good reasons to get this project done now.” When to replace windows A former professional contractor, Kraeutler offers weekly advice to homeowners nationwide on home improvement projects. Deciding when to replace windows is a key topic covered on his show. “Products in the home have a distinct lifespan,” said Kraeutler. “After 10 years, windows should be monitored yearly to ensure their performance is holding up. “When a window stops operating correctly, then it’s time to invest in new windows. Vinyl windows and doors specified with a LoE glass package are a viable ‘green’ option offering several distinct advantages.

However, it still helps to keep the keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. When the power is out for longer than two hours, different rules apply. If the freezer is half full, food will be safe to consume for 24 hours. If the freezer is full, then the food will be safe for 48 hours.

Winter might be a wonderland to some, but for those who prefer a warm, sandy beach over a ski slope, winter is no walk in the park. It’s even worse when a winter storm hits and suddenly everything goes dark. Power outages are impossible to predict. When a power outage occurs, it can last anywhere from a few minutes to several days. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following guidelines for making it through a power outage safe and sound.

Seneca Federal is not an average mortgage originator in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent. “A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the underwriting process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are very thankful when a customer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and

two hours. When cooking, use a food thermometer to check the temperature of food before cooking and eating. Any food with a temperature greater than 40 F should be discarded.
Water The water supply might also be affected during a power outage. It’s always a good idea to keep bottled water on hand in the event of a power outage to avoid consuming any contaminated water, which might be a byproduct of water purification systems not fully functioning because of the power outage. Avoid using potentially contaminated water when doing the dishes, brushing your teeth or preparing food. For parents of young children, it helps to have formula on hand that does not require the addition of water. If tap water must be used, bring the water to a rolling boil for at least one minute. That’s enough time to kill most organisms, including harmful bacteria and parasites. Hypothermia prevention While most regions are quick to
restore power, especially harsh storms might make it difficult to restore power right away. An extended power outage could cause chronic hypothermia, which occurs from ongoing exposure to cold indoor temperatures (below 60 F). The elderly are especially susceptible to chronic hypothermia during a power outage, but there are steps everyone can take to stay safe. Family members with elderly relatives who live alone should make every effort to contact those relatives and ensure everything is alright. Make sure the elderly or the ill have adequate food, clothing, shelter, and sources of heat. If necessary, insist elderly or ill friends and family stay over until the power comes back on. In poorly heated rooms, be sure there are enough blankets for everyone. And wear layers of clothing as well as a hat, even when indoors. It also helps to stay as active as possible, as physical activity raises body temperature. For more information on safely making it through a power outage, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at cdc.gov.
before the loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with experienced loan underwriters who assist you in your mortgage loan application process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan. The lending team is carrying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is always retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan. One example of a loan that is often tailor-made to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made

“Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, presidentCEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.” Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. “We look to competitors daily,
