Property taxes increase 63% in Van Buren, 36% in Lysander By Erin Wisneski

editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com

Residents will notice a big difference in their property tax bill next week. Lysander property owners will see a 36 percent increase from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill, while Van Buren property owners will see an even more substantial 63.2 percent increase. The property tax bill includes both town and county taxes. However, the townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tax rates decreased this year: in 2010, a Lysander home assessed at $100,000 paid $179 (not including special districts) vs. $132 in 2011; a Van Buren home assessed at $100,000 paid $158 (not including special districts) vs. $146 in 2011. While part of the reason for the decrease in property taxes for each town was due to both municipalities tak-

ing sales tax revenues (which, had it not been taken, would have been applied to residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; county tax bills), officials also cut spending in both towns. When county taxes are added to residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills, Lysanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (based on a home assessed at $100,000) increases $181 (from $502 in 2010 to $683 in 2011) and Van Burenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increases $312 (from $494 in 2010 to $806 in 2011). According to County Legislator Rich Lesniak (representing the town of Lysander), the county portion of property taxes increased not only because the towns took sales tax revenues, but also because the county executive â&#x20AC;&#x153;vetoed almost $20 million in revenue that the legislators felt were reasonable projections.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had projected a higher increase in sales tax that would have allowed us to take more out of the county fund balance,â&#x20AC;? Lesniak said, adding those figures were See Tax, page 8

Three municipalities seek grant By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com

Baldwinsville, Lysander and Van Buren officials are working together, again. The three municipalities have agreed to submit an intra-municipal grant application to the New York State Archives Local Government Records Management Improvement program for funds to purchase a Global Information System (GIS).

The municipalities can receive up to $100,000 in grant monies, depending on a GIS needs assessment being drafted by Barton and Loguidice, which will be submitted with the application. According to Van Buren Engineer Jason Hoy, GIS helps municipalities track trends through parcel/property based data. This system would assist the municipalitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; various departments in many capacities, specifically by making information quickly

accessible. Pursuing the grant on behalf of all three municipalities increases the likelihood of receiving the funds, said Lysander Supervisor Barry Bullis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It truly shows that the three municipalities are looking into each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interest,â&#x20AC;? Baldwinsville Mayor Joseph Saraceni added. The application for the zero-match grant is due Feb. 1, and officials should know whether it was awarded in the summer of 2011.

Whiskey Hollow a treasure, not a dump By Rob Andres Whiskey hollow is a unique natural area just west of Baldwinsville. The Audobon Society recognizes it as an important bird area for declining or unique species like the Cerualean Warbler. Locals come to the area to get free spring water, where a natural cave lies near the spring, or just to drive through for the view. With 1.4 miles of rolling scenery and wildlife, Whiskey Hollow is a great place to walk a pet and find some peace and quiet. It is a beautiful Adirondack-like piece of land. The problem with this beautiful slice of wilderness is some people visit Whiskey Hollow to dump their junk. Televisions, computer monitors, couches and tires have all been dumped in the past year. Unfortunately, due to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s isolation, it is difficult to prevent littering, said Bernie Carr of CNY Land Trust. It is an ongoing problem they can do little about, he said. All is not lost, however. A local boy scout group and volunteers help to clean up Whiskey Hollow every spring when they cart out several truckloads of garbage. A lot of dedicated individuals take care of these properties, but more volunteers are always needed. If anyone would like to help with this effort, they can contact Carr via e-mail at mycocarex@hotmail, info@cnylandtrust.org or at cnylandtrust.org.

Village budget hearing By Erin Wisneski editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com

The village of Baldwinsville will hold a work session to discuss the March 1, 2011 to Feb. 29, 2012 budget at 7 p.m. Monday Jan. 3 at the village hall. A public hearing regarding the budget will then be held at 7:15 p.m. Thursday Jan. 6, prior to the regularly scheduled board meeting. Lysander water rates The recent hike in village water rates will affect five districts in Lysander. The town contracts with the village to supply the following districts with water: Clinton Heights, River Mist, Emerick Road, West Genesee Street and Seneca Estates. The town rates for Clinton Heights and River Mist will remain unchanged because both districts are operating with high fund balances. West Genesee Street and Emerick Road districts will see a 39 percent increase (from increased usage fees). Seneca Estates, which is operating in the red from a lack of a fund balance, will see a 100 percent increase (with $16 per unit, per quarter being used to build a fund balance for infrastructure maintenance). Residents’ average bill was $22 per quarter and is being raised to $44 per quarter in Seneca Estates. Officials compared the new village rates with Onondaga County Water Authority’s (OCWA) rates to see if there were any savings to residents. However, due to infrastructure and existing contracts, not to mention higher usage fees, it was determined village water was the cheaper alternative. Road law adopted Lysander officials have approved a new chapter to the town code relating to road preservation and safety. Brought to the forefront by the future possibility of hydrofracking in the area, the amendment aims to protect town roads from excessive usage and weight, in addition to other preventative measures. Organizational meeting, public hearings Van Buren officials will hold the town’s annual organizational meeting at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 4 at the town hall, corner of Van Buren and Ellsworth roads. A public hearing regarding a zone change from Industrial to Residential 40 for properties along Pottery Road in Van Buren has been rescheduled for 7:45 p.m. Jan. 4 at the town hall. See Boards, page 8

Opinion Editorial

Lock down your life online How secure is your online identity? On Dec. 11, hackers managed to break into the records for technology website Gizmodo and the gossip website Gawker (both websites are owned by Gawker Media). The hackers released a database of thousands of users’ e-mail addresses and passwords to the public. In theory, this would not be too much of a problem for most users — if your account was compromised, at most, the hackers could make a comment on the website under your name. But if you’re like most people, you use the same password for everything. And that can be dangerous when some websites, like Gawker, are less secure than others. It isn’t too much of a stretch: If you use the same email address and password on several sites — to check your e-mail, to access online banking, etc. — and someone finds that same password somewhere else, you could be vulnerable to an attack. But the fix is easy. Change your passwords from website to website! Don’t use a simple dictionary word, either — sophisticated hackers’ computer programs can try to break into your account with brute force, guessing thousands of words at a time. Google has provided a list of suggestions for password security. For more information, visit google. com/accounts/PasswordHelp. Tips for creating a secure password Include punctuation marks and/or numbers. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter ‘O’ or ‘$’ for the letter ‘S’. Create a unique acronym. Include phonetic replacements, such as ‘Luv 2 Laf ’ for ‘Love to Laugh.’ Things to avoid Don’t use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.) Don’t use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary. Don’t use keyboard patterns (asdf) or sequential numbers (1234). Don’t make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters. Don’t use repeating characters (aa11). Tips for keeping your password secure Never tell your password to anyone. Never send your password by e-mail. Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.

State mandates only line on county tax bill The last session for 2010 was held Dec. 21. While there were routine things to do for the year end, we also addressed some very controversial issues like property tax rates, a new sewer law and project labor agreements. Each of these issues required lengthy debate, and in the end, not all of the issues were resolved. The property tax rates were set for all the towns and villages. The debate was about information and projections that were shared with the legislature during the budget process. For the 2010 budget, the numbers that the legislature had projected are being confirmed by the county’s office of Management and Budget. The sales tax collections did come in higher than what the legislature wanted to use for projections. At this point, this is water over the dam, and next year the Democrats from the city will probably not support any vetoes of the budget. The result is the tax rates were set, and for Lysander the results are as follows: if you live in the village, a $100,000 home will see about a $200 drop in your overall tax bill. If you live outside the village, a $100,000 home will see about $225 increase. I do encourage you to look at your tax bill carefully. There is no line on your tax bill for county services because all of the county services are paid for by sales tax revenues. What is on your tax bill is a line for State Mandated Services. That line represents the cost of New York State mandates. If you look at the overall levy for the county, it was reduced from $183 million to $153 million. I can honestly say that if we did not have all these mandates from the State, you would have no county property tax. Your Sheriff ’s Department, road plowing

and road maintenance are all paid for by sales tax revenues. Another change for next year will be the new sewer law to address capacity management and maintenance. This law was originally proposed about a year ago. However, many legislators had concerns and after input from residents all over the county, the final version of the sewer law was adopted on Tuesday. This law requires that when you sell your house, an inspection will be conducted by the county checking for illegal hook ups to the sewer system. An illegal discharge into the sewer includes sub pumps and roof down spouts. If your sub pump or down spout runs into the sewer, your sale will be held up until that modification can take place. The county is treating what is called “clear water” when storm water runs into the sewer, and it is very expensive to treat water that does not require treatment. Additionally, there are capacity management issues when there is a heavy rainfall. To reduce overflows and reduce the amount spent treating storm water runoff, this law was necessary. If the county did not take a proactive approach to the storm water management, the county was leaving itself vulnerable to fines from the DEC or EPA. The initial law also called for water softeners to be included, and after discussion with Mayor Joseph

Saraceni, water softeners were removed from the law. This law will take effect in about 180 days. Also on the agenda was a resolution to extend a Project Labor Agreement (PLA). The current PLA is for work that is being done on the city sewer system as a result of our consent order to clean up the lake. The current PLA requires contractors to adhere to certain work rules. Most private contractors feel that this agreement costs the county more money for each project, while labor organizations say that it allows flexibility in some work rules that saves the county money. Surprisingly, the Democrats decided to vote against any further lake cleanup projects until a new PLA is in place. If we do not adhere to the court order, which lays out timelines for completion of projects for the cleanup of Onondaga Lake, the county will be fined millions. We have asked the county comptroller to audit a period of time, and tell us if a PLA has cost the county money or has saved the county money. I hope we can resolve this soon to avoid any fines. I suggested we authorize the bonding for the projects that are shovel ready while we research the cost savings and benefits of PLAs before the next project goes out to bid; however, this was not acceptable to the Democrat caucus. Lastly, I hope everyone had a Happy Holiday season and I wish everyone a prosperous New Year. I will continue to do my best to keep government out of your pocket.

Ring in some New Year’s financial resolutions Now that 2011 is almost here, you may want to make some New Year’s resolutions. Planning to volunteer? Go to the gym more often? Learn a new language? All worthy ambitions, of course, but this year, why not add some financial resolutions as well? Which resolutions should you make? Here are a few ideas to consider: Boost your retirement accounts. No matter how old you’ll be in 2011, one thing is certain — you’re a year closer to retirement than you were in 2010. And that’s why you’ll want to increase your contributions to your retirement accounts. If your salary is going up in 2011, boost the amount you defer for your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 403(b) plan (if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organization) or a 457(b) plan (if you work for a state or local government). With tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of earnings and several investment options, these types of plans are tremendous ways to save for retirement. And try to “max out” your traditional or Roth IRA, too. Look for opportunities. With the uncertainties in the economy and the volatility of the financial markets, many people decide to head to the investment “sidelines” for a while. Yet,

Kevin Wall Financial Focus this environment may actually be a good one for investors with patience, discipline and the ability to look beyond yesterday’s headlines. For one thing, many quality securities are now good values. Also, we’re still seeing low inflation and low interest rates — factors that may lead to greater economic demand and improved strength in the financial markets. Don’t over-react to market swings. Over the past few years, we’ve seen plenty of sudden, sharp swings in the financial markets, and you’re likely going to see more of them in 2011. Don’t over-react to either the “ups” or the “downs” of the market. Over-reacting leads to short-term thinking — and successful investors are the ones who can maintain a long-term perspective. Rebalance when necessary. At least once a year, review and rebalance your portfolio, as necessary, to make sure it still reflects your goals, risk tolerance and family situation, all of which can

change over time. Reduce your debts. While the sluggish economy of the past couple of years has obviously been a cause of concern for everyone, we have seen one “silver lining” in that many people, concerned about over-spending, have shed some of their debt load. The less money you have to spend on your debts, the more you’ll have available to invest for your future, so do what you can to cut down on what you owe. Maintain adequate cash levels. As an investor, you’ve got at least two good reasons for maintaining enough cash in your portfolio. First, having adequate cash available means you’ll be ready to act quickly to take advantage of good investment opportunities. And second, by having a cash cushion, you won’t be forced to liquidate long-term investments to pay for short-term needs such as a major car repair, a new furnace, a big doctor’s bill, and so on. By following these suggestions, you can position yourself to make progress toward your long-term goals in 2011 — and in all the New Years that follow.

Improve health and volunteer

Performance inspiring

By Nancy Conley If one resolutions for the New Year is to improve your health, then add volunteering as a way to help you reach that goal. Recent studies show that 68 percent of people who volunteer report that volunteering makes them feel physically healthier; 89 percent report an improved sense of well being; 73 percent feel that volunteering lowered their stress levels and 92 percent report that volunteering enriches their sense of purpose. Sounds like a win-win to me. Visit our website bvillevolunteers.org for community volunteer opportunities or call me at 638-0251. Looking for a way to make a big difference in a small amount of time? Consider working with a child as a mentor for 30 minutes once a week during the school year. That’s all it takes to make a positive impact in the life of a student at one of our schools in Baldwinsville. Several students are still waiting to be matched up with a mentor - call 638-0251 for more information. Beginning Jan. 1, the B’ville Express, a senior transportation program operated by the Canton Woods Senior Center, will begin coordinating all of the volunteer transportation for seniors needing rides to their medical appointments. One program will be better able to schedule available volunteer drivers more efficiently, so the Volunteer Center has decided to discontinue its senior transportation program. While many of our volunteer drivers will continue driving for the B’ville Express, there is still an urgent need for more volunteer drivers to meet the need. Please call Jude Laurange at 638-0097 to learn more about how to become a volunteer driver. Tutor training workshops for Literacy Volunteers of Greater Syracuse will be starting in January. Join a team of volunteer tutors who will learn how to work with adults in Onondaga County who need help with reading, writing or speaking English. Volunteer tutors work either one-to-one or in a small group instruction. For more information call Robyn Smith at 471-1300. Nancy Conley is the executive director of the Baldwinsville Volunteer Center.

To the editor: Each year we look forward to the advent musical celebrations from St. Augustine’s Church. We are never disappointed as they always are wonderful performances and truly enrich the Christmas season. This year’s presentation, combining the talents and musical abilities of people from both St. Mary’s and St. Augustine’s churches, was a joy to experience. Ryan Schaffer, director of music ministries and organist for both parishes did a superb job of showcasing the talents of choirs and musicians from both St. Augustine’s and St. Mary’s. The Brigadiers/Alumni Brass Ensemble provided music as a prelude to the program. Part one included vocal and instrumental solos, which were very inspiring. The second part of the program featured “Winter’s Grace,” a cantata for Christmas with music by Joseph M. Martin. We felt very much in the Christmas spirit as we listened to all the music. Ryan’s gift of playing the Halleluiah Chorus was truly beautiful to hear. Thanks again to both churches and to Ryan for a terrific holiday experience. Joanne & Bill Britton Baldwinsville

TRIBUTE BAND

To support the Baldwinsville Central School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellness policy and to emphasize the importance of physical activity and nutritious foods for a healthy lifestyle, Palmer Elementary School held its first in-school wellness day for students Dec. 10. Students fueled up for the morning with a nutritious breakfast in their classrooms. Normally, any student purchasing breakfast eats it in the cafeteria, so eating in the classrooms was a privilege for the day. After filling up on cereal, milk and juice, students met in the gym for an assembly, lead by Bryan Morgan, coowner of Dynamics Health and Fitness. Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high energy, motivational presentation centered on the following principles: I am focused; I am giving; I am thankful; and I am strong. He had the students on their feet, moving throughout his presentation. After the presentation, students rotated through physical and informational activities that included aerobics, an obstacle course and healthy snacking tips. All classes bundled up and took part in a brisk walk around the school in the frosty December air. Under the direction of teacher David Kilcourse, students learned how to use canned goods as weights for resistance training. In another activity, teacher Ron Hysick taught students various yoga poses and

explained the parts of the body they were strengthening with each one. Chef Mark Voyten from Sysco gave students tips on healthy snacking and provided them with samples of nutritious and fresh choices including carrots and apple slices, to curb hunger and boost energy. One of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main hallways was lined with displays of information on the food pyramid, fat, sugar, food allergies and dental health. Walgreens, the American Dairy Association & Dairy Council, the New York State Education Department and Baldwinsville Gentle Dentistry provided informational handouts and health-related items for students.

Tax mandates require,” he said. “Sales tax collections cover all of the services that you see day-to-day: sheriff ’s department, highway department, economic development and so on. If we didn’t have the state mandates, the county would have no property tax because all the other services are paid for by sales tax.” There is relief on the horizon,

however, with sales tax projections higher than expected, Lesniak said. “[Increased sales tax projections show] we are coming out of a recession,” he said. “However, for the county, we will have to watch what the state of New York does with their budget. They could take all of our gain away.”

B’ville bowlers split with Liverpool By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com

Both of Baldwinsville’s bowling teams would make up for what they lost in inactivity during the snowstorms by squeezing in more matches before the holiday

break. In last Monday’s meeting with Central Square, each of the Bees’ sides won 3-0 shutouts. For the boys, Ryan Zbikowski stood out, shooting a 265 game and earning a 702 series, while Tim Wavercak got a 244 game during his 652

set. As for the B’ville girls, Annie Peterson led the way, shooting a three-game total of 527 that included a 209 high game. Samantha Halligan added a 490 series. Then came Wednesday’s showdown with Liverpool, which

resulted in a split. Peterson led the B’ville girls to a 3-0 shutout of the Warriors, registering a 244 game on her way to a 608 series, while Taeler Kuss added a 540 series. Liverpool’s Mary Townley, who rolled a 300 game earlier this month, had a 542 series on

this day. In the closer boys match, B’ville fell to Liverpool 2-1, even though Zbikowski hit a 700 series and Sam Sojdak picked up a three-game total of 610. Rich Boullosa led the Warriors with a 662 series.

Brent Grippe, in the 145-pound opener, got the Bees moving with a pin over Tom Campagnola in 1:23. Nick Balduzzi (160 pounds) finished off Kyle Hunt in 1:13, while Joe Nasoni (171 pounds) needed that exact same time to pin Dan McCormick and Brian Honsinger, at 189 pounds, earned his pin over Nick Pysnack in 1:45.

Kevin Paul (96 pounds), Tim Sposato (103 pounds) and Vito Caloia (119 pounds). In between, Chad McArdell, at 112 pounds, pinned Dustin Swan in 1:40, and the closing stretch kicked off with Joey Shaheenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 125-pound pin of Nick Campagnola at the end of the first period. Kevin Norton, at 130 pounds, waited until the third period to pin Joe GIacona, while Ryan McArdell (135 pounds) earned his fall over Noah Christianelli in 3:21 and, in the finale, Anthony Rifakis (140 pounds) took 12 more seconds than McArdell to pin Steve Ansteth. Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ville will join 10 other teams at Dolgeville on Tuesday and Wednesday for the annual Mountain Duals before resuming league action Jan. 5 at Central Square.

Trying to pull itself out of a December skid, the Baldwinsville ice hockey team instead saw things get more uncomfortable. Corcoran was responsible for that situation, defending its home ice at Meachem Rink last Wednesday night by beating the Bees 5-0. The Cougars, yet another one of the Division I newcomers in 2010-11, arrived with a 3-1 league record, but was in a foul mood following a 3-2 defeat to CortlandHomer two nights earlier.

Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ville had a fair amount of chances on this night. Every time it tried, though, Corcoran goalie Gavin Gretzky stopped them, making 23 saves overall. Meanwhile, the Cougars took a 1-0 first-period lead and steadily got away, overcoming Chris Johnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 21 saves as Steve Young, with two goals and one assist, led Corcoran to victory. At 1-2-1 in league play (2-3-1 overall), Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ville will go south on Wednesday to face Ithaca, who is 3-0-1 following a 1-1 tie with defending state champion West Genesee at Shove Park.

Menapace took the 100 butterfly (1:00.47), while John Bartlett earned first in the 100 breaststroke in 1:15.32. Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ville then finished the meet in a spectacular manner as Burke, Menapace, Tarsel and David Didio got together and, in the 400 freestyle relay, won in 3:39.86. On Wednesday, the Bees visited Auburn and met with a different result, though it stayed close all the way through a 90-78 loss to the Maroons.

Burke, Menapace, Tarsel and Zach Akers did start out well, improving Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;villeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200 medley relay time to 1:47.25. Also, Burke would win two individual races, claiming the 500 freestyle in 5:10.66 and the 100 backstroke in 58.92 seconds. Auburn would counter by taking every other individual event as Adam Zelehowsky (200 IM, 100 butterfly) and Connor Kilmer (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle) both earned two titles. Burke, Menapace, Tarsel and Didio did win again in the 400 freestyle relay, improving its time to 3:36.14.

Quite well, as it turned out, as the Bees finally got to host Nottingham last Monday and put together a 62-31 victory over the Bulldogs. In the opening 200 medley relay, Dan Burke, Nate Menapace, Kyle Atkinson and Mike Tarsel tore to a victory in a time of 1:49.53, setting the tone for the rest of the meet.
